Taigu brings authentic Chinese food to Middleton
Sen. Tammy Baldwin visited local

manufacturer in attempt to
reauthorize Export-Import Bank
U.S. Senator
Tammy
Baldwin visited Fristam
Pumps USA in
Middleton on
Tuesday afternoon,
just
hours before
Baldwin
the Export-Import Bank w
expireddue to what Baldwins office called inaction by the Republican Majority in the Senate.
Fristam Pumps has created jobs
and economic growth with the
support of Export-Import Bank investments, according to the senator. Republican critics have
likened the bank to corporate welfare.
Baldwin called for a long-term
reauthorization of the Export-Import Bank and traveled the state to
highlight the issue. On Monday,
she had visited Appvion Inc., a
manufacturer in Appleton and earlier this month she visited Prolitec,
Inc. in Milwaukee.
While the banks authorization
did lapse at the end of Tuesday,
federal lawmakers will have another crack at it in July.
According to Baldwin, the Export-Import Bank is not only a
vital export tool for small businesses; it is an important tool for
deficit reduction that returned
$675 million to the U.S. Treasury

dumplings. It also serves more typical Americanized Chinese fare.

When Hong Gao was growing up in

Taigu, a county in Chinas Shanxi
province, she never ate rice.
I remember noodles, dumplings,

pancakes from my mother and grandmother, she recalls. But were we
lived, you never ate rice. It was all noodles. Like our cat ear noodles,
[which] look like the shape of a cats
ear.
So imagine her surprise when she

moved to the United States 23 years
ago and saw the menus as the Chinese restaurants that populate the
country. The ubiquitous dishes things
like General Tsos chicken and pork
fried rice had no connection to her
homelands delicious fare.

Thats why Hong and her family decided to take over the former Orient
Express at 7610 Elmwood Avenue in
the City of Middleton late last year.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court on

Wednesday, June 24 suspended the law
license of a Middleton attorney for two
years and ordered her to make $60,889
restitution to an elderly client she repeatedly overbilled.

Armstrong was first licensed in
1979, lives in Middleton, and had no

prior disciplinary sanctions.
She has also been a licensed real estate broker and is licensed by the state

As the time for his retirement approached, Schneider made it clear

that the end of the year was all
about the kids, and not about his retirement. Knowing this was an extremely emotional milestone for him,
band parents and students have honored his wishes. But now they would
like to show Schneider their gratitude.
In keeping with his theme of its
all about the kids, the Middleton
High School Band and Orchestra
Parent Association invites you to
contribute to a scholarship fund that

Committee wants new school compensation model

by CAMERON BREN
Times-Tribune
The Middleton-Cross Plains Area

School Districts Compensation Committee unanimously supports a new
compensation model.
Last week, the school board was
presented with the compensation
model for discussion, final approval
will be given by the board after a few
more details are worked out and accounting ensures the model is viable.
Superintendent Don Johnson said he
thinks the committee will be finished
in August.
The teacher advisory compensation
committee was formed last year to develop a new compensation model to replace the previous and unsustainable
step schedule. Johnson says up until
Governor Scott Walkers first term the
state always provided enough of an increase in funding to public schools to
maintain the step schedule.
Also prior to Walkers time in office,
compensation used to be negotiated
through a collective bargaining agreement. The year 2011s Act 10 prohibits
most public unions from bargaining
from anything other than base wages
which are chained to consumer price
index unless approved by referendum.
That along with other regulations have
caused almost all public unions to dissolve in the state.
In the case Middleton Education As-
PAGE 3
sociation teachers union, it functions as

a quasi-union that represents teachers
but is not recognized by the state. The
school board and administration view
the union as a valuable resource and
have allowed members to weigh in and
work in the committees though they
have no legal authority on what the
board ultimately approves.
Johnson shared the live online
binder the committee is using. He reviewed the composition of the committee and explained that over the ten
meetings much of the time has been
spent providing members with background information.
One thing we realized on the compensation committee, very similar to
the handbook committee, is that it
takes time for people to digest a new
topic, Johnson explained. These are
all smart people who are very adaptable, but they havent had their heads
in finance or salary schedules, they
arent fluent in voluntary early retirement.
As administrators we need to be patient because we deal with this on a
pretty regular basis and have done so
for years, many teachers are presented
this for the first time, Johnson added.
Johnson said he believes that the
teachers on the committee have learned
a lot about how compensation works.
Many teachers dont understand
how their salary relates to benefits, especially healthcare and voluntary early
retirement, Johnson said. I think the
teachers who were on the compensation committee now understand that relationship a lot better and their
responses will be couched in a deeper
knowledge of the compensation system.
Some compensation models that
were based on pay for performance
using test scores or educator effectiveness were considered but the committee moved away from those.
Johnson explained that there are
many problems that arise with pay
based on educator effectiveness and
test scores. He said there have been
three different assessment systems in
the last three years. He added that now
it is up in the air in the legislature on
whether there will be three or five assessments and who will choose and decide if are they comparable and how
anyone will know.
The board also decided early on that
it was not interested in pursuing such a
model.
Johnson said the committee also
looked at turnover data. He said it was
believed that there was a mass exodus
from the district. He says there were
some teachers who left and banged
pots on the way out but overall attrition
is less than other districts.
Johnson said he isnt concerned that
MPCASD will lose teachers to other
districts, but he does think more may
now consider work in the private sector.
Our biggest risk factor is teachers
who are doing a great job that may go

to the private sector, Johnson said.
Overtime we could lose more and
more teachers to the private sector because our salaries are not competitive.
Director of Employee Services
Tabatha Gundrum shared the blended
model schedule the committee unanimously supported. There would be two
columns, one for those with bachelors
degree and one for those with masters
degree, which would be worth an additional $4,500.
Staff members would be moved
from the current salary schedule to the
closest salary on the new one and no
one would see a reduction in pay. She
said the cost of crossing over to the
new model would be $187,000 in
salary and $215,000 overall because of
FICA and other benefits.
Teachers said they wanted length of
service recognized in the schedule, so
a point system is being developed
whereby they would earn points for experience and professional development
or credits earned.
The overall cost for this model is
about $480,000 annually, Gundrum
said. The District wanted to pick a
model that is closest to what the Consumer Price Index currently is, which
is 1.62 percent. She also is estimating
that 63 percent of teaching staff would
move a full step annually while the others would move a partial step. Sun
Prairie has a similar model and found
similar movement, she said.
Johnson believes this schedule offers more flexibility. The old schedule
had $1,200 increases, which hasnt
been feasible in recent years. The new
schedule would allow the board to
choose between one, two, or three
mini-steps based on how much funding
is available annually.
School board member Diane Hornung asked if staff will be allowed to
move multiple steps in one year. Gundrum said committee will discuss that
at a future meeting. They will also consider the idea of letting staff who earn
a doctorate or National Board Certification to move two steps in a single
year.
Johnson wants to get base pay comparable to Verona, Sun Prairie and
Waunakee. The challenge that presents
is some teachers might get a $3,500
bump to get on the new schedule while
others might only get a few dollars. He
said this will exacerbate the gap that
has been created for teachers who have
been here five years but havent received their steps for much of the time.
Or we leave our starting salaries
very low, he said. These are two very
difficult dilemmas.
Johnson said now that a new salary
schedule is being considered the district can look at gaps. He said there
isnt enough money to restore all the
steps that have been missed, but hopes
outliers can be fixed.
year, enrollment grew by 136 students

from June to September. He said the
five-year average during that time span
is 90 students so he expects enrollment
to be at least 50 over the projection of
88 students this year.
Mavroulis said that the growth is
from families moving into the district
and not through open enrollment.
Board president Bob Green explained that in recent years enrollment
increases have been the districts more
reliable source of increased funding.
Historically we get more of an in-
crease in revenue based off our enrollment increases than we get from increases instate aid, Green said. [The
enrollment report] is more of an interest because it is more of a solid indication of where our revenue is going to
be and it seems to be more consistent
in the last few years.
Thats why we like the fact that we
are a destination district and like that
our teachers and employees do such a
nice job and people want to come
here, Green added.
Superintendent Don Johnson said
the legislature is still considering a zero

percent increase in funding for next
year and a $100 increase per pupil in
categorical aid for the following year.
He said it is widely viewed in districts
throughout the state that that is not sufficient. He told the board about some
of the cuts other districts were looking
at.
A small district in Southwestern
Wisconsin was proposing cutting
physics, world language, and only offering one course of chemistry every
other year, Johnson said. They are
looking at offering no world language
in the district. I had to take a deep
breath when I heard that, it is a pretty
extreme situation.
Board member Paul Kinne asked
what happens if the state budget isnt
approved by the end of June. Board
president Bob Green recalled a year
when the budget wasnt approved until
September. Green says it can be a
challenge to work with but the board
doesnt have a choice.
Johnson added that the board must
work with the current projections including the current proposal of zero in-
crease in year one and $100 increase in

year two and enrollment projections.

BUDGET
Johnson addressed another budget

proposal that eliminates the requirement that teachers be licensed to teach
in the state.
Because we are having a shortage
in some areas, what is happening in a
response to that shortage, especially in
rural areas, is we will just hire whoever
is available whether they are qualified
or not, Johnson said. Even though
Middleton, I think, will continue to get
good teachers and candidates,
statewide I think there is a major issue
in many areas and not just the ones we
see as problematic.
Even some larger districts like Eau
Claire have had a difficult time getting
teachers in basic areas sometimes elementary social studies and english

do they have trouble getting a candidate, but finding a candidate who is
competent and qualified is sometimes
difficult.
Johnson said when there is an emergency scenario and there is a qualified
candidate the DPI already has a system
in place to hire them without a license.
Even though there may be some individuals that are competent to be
teachers but do not have licensure, we
do have a system to allow them to get
emergency licensure and to get the
training and verify that they are qualified, Johnson explained. So I think
we already have a mechanism that will

RUTH LORENE SHAFFER
made those around her feel. Ruth paid

attention to the little details, and in
doing so, made everyone in her life
know they were important. Ruths life
centered around family. She will be remembered for her unwavering devotion to her children and grandchildren.
Ruth was an ardent supporter of all
they did and on the sidelines for every
athletic competition, musical performance and school event. She was everyones biggest cheerleader and a
significant part of every occasion, be it
big or small. Beyond her family, Ruth
enjoyed a love of books, taking photos,
music and rooting for the Brewers,
Badgers and Packers. Ruths life was
grounded in her faith and life-long
friendships. The most important thing
to Ruth was being generous and kind.
She always said, If you cant say
something nice, dont say nothing at

Running for another term, Hesselbein talks politics and policy
A standing-room-only crowd rotated in and out of Lousiannes in

downtown Middleton earlier this
year to support Democrat Dianne
Hesselbein in her bid to keep her
seat as state representative for Assembly District 79.
Reporter Deb Biechler covered
the event and held a follow-up interview with Hesselbein on May 11.
by DEB BIECHLER
Times-Tribune
Middleton Times-Tribune: Have

your reasons for running changed at
all since you were first elected in
2012?
Dianne Hesselbein: No. My reason is still simple. Its to support the

public. Right now I feel that so many
Republicans are voting in ways that
support Scott Walkers Presidential
ambitions instead of the citizens of
Wisconsin.
MTT: What are the biggest challenges that the State of Wisconsin faces
right now?
Hesselbein: One of the biggest is

public education. The money is there
to support public education but its just
not being spent wisely. Its being diverted to ineffective independent charter schools.
Money taken away in the proposed
budget from the UW system hurts students and citizens on so many levels.
One of the biggest cuts that hurt
Wisconsin citizens is in the area of research. UW Madison is a leader in research on cancer, dementia and
depression, to name a few. These issues
arent partisan. They affect families in
our state across the board. The budget
cuts thwart, rather than support the
health of our citizens.
The Republicans say that theres no
additional money coming in through
taxes this year.
Again, we have money, but it is not
being spent wisely.
There would be enough money to
continue supporting UW research if we
hadnt turned down the federal health
dollars. Governor Walker wanted to do
his own thing. But, his plan is supporting fewer people and costing more
money.
Another way that students and education in WI suffers with this budget is
that funding for the board that oversees
private colleges is being cut. If there
are not watchdogs, who will make
these private colleges be accountable
and make sure that students receive
quality education for their dollars?
Weve already seen some of our tax
dollars wasted on private and unac-
L ETTER
TO THE
countable charter schools that popped

up after Governor Walker was elected.
We dont want that to happen at the
university level.
MTT: Whats another challenge

that we face right now?
Hesselbein: The proposed budget

substantially cuts funding to the Education Communications Board. They
are not just responsible for educational
programming. They are responsible
for emergency broadcasting in Wisconsin. That broadcasting includes the
Amber and Silver Alert systems.
The alert system is set up in a daisy
chain, with the first warnings going to
Public Broadcasting and then to other
stations in the chain. Last year, Wisconsin legislators just passed a bill for
the alerts that we will not be able to enforce if these budget cuts are made.
We have the towers in place, but
funding would cut the connections. It
would be like having phones and computers in our homes, but no ability to
use them. It doesnt make any sense.
The push by the current Republican
representatives is to privatize everything. Sometimes there arent companies that want to take things over. The
Amber and Silver alerts systems are
not likely candidates for privatization.
MTT: What do you want to say to

citizens about their role in what hap-

pens in Wisconsin?
Hesselbein: Stay engaged. Look at

what elected officials do, not just what
they say. Find out how they vote on issues and learn how those votes impact
you.
Dont just listen to commercial
soundbites, especially if those soundbites are funded by Citizens United.
Until we change that, too many elections are influenced by money.
The average person should be able

to run. It should never just be the
wealthy who can run, nor people who
get their funding from and by doing the
bidding of the people with the most
money.
Try not to be a single-issue voter. A
representative might agree with you on
that one important issue, but then vote
in ways that degrade the quality of life,
health, education and the environment
for Wisconsin citizens.

To the editor,
On behalf of the Middleton Area

Historical Society, I wish to thank all
of our patrons (estimated 400) for the
Pie & Ice Cream Social on Wednesday,
June 17, at Lakeview Community
Park. Even though the Historical Society only charges $2 for a slice of pie
and $1 for ice cream, we raised over
$1,400 for our largest fundraiser of the
year. Of course, its also a popular

community event, and we enjoy providing it for public fun each year.
Id also like to thank our
donor/sponsors, including Scotts Bakery, Hubbard Avenue Diner, Bloom
Bake Shop, Willy West Co-op, Orchids
Garden Center, Starbucks at Middleton
Hills and CVS Pharmacy, as well as the
New Horizons Band, which once again
performed so very well. It was a beau-
tiful near-summer evening for the ages!

If you are interested in becoming a
volunteer or a member of the Middleton Area Historical Society, please see

client, and ultimately, between 2000

and 2005, charging her client
$170,651.95 for various tasks, many of

which were not legal in nature, ac-
cording to the 12-page opinion.

The court noted violations of conflict of interest in Armstrongs dealings
with a client including:
failing to inform in advance that she
would collect a commission for purchasing her a deferred annuity while
also billing her for financial planning;
was the listing agent at a 7 percent
commission and attorney when selling
the clients duplex.
Also, according to the opinion:
Armstrong violated state Supreme
Court Rules (SCR) for attorneys by not
having enough information before filing a 2000 tax return for the client and
her husband.
The couple paid Armstrong $3,430
for the return, which the Internal Revenue Service said contained errors and
demanded an additional $2,717 tax
payment.
Armstrong petitioned the U.S. Tax
Court for a hearing and submitted an
amended return that also contained er-

rors.
The IRS subsequently reduced the
clients tax deficiency, they paid
$1,331 and Armstrong billed them an
additional $4,118.
Armstrong stipulated to filing the return without sufficient accurate information which she could have readily
obtained added to the couples tax deficiency. Also, billing the client $4,118
to reduce their tax liability by $1,020
violated SCRs.
Armstrong also overbilled the now
90-year-old client from before 2000
through September 2005 by charging
her a $500 monthly fee under a power
of attorney agreement for services that
were mostly non-professional clerical
work.
Armstrongs actual legal work involved about 15 minutes per month.
Armstrong also billed the client at
$250 per hour, totaling at least
$58,422, between September 2004 and
October 2005 for general contractor
work related to her duplex. Services

include consulting about needed repairs, selecting workers, and property
management services including keeping renters accounts and running errands.
Work done by Armstrongs assistants was billed at $150 per hour. The
rates Armstrong charged for herself
and her assistants violated the SCR.
When the clients husband died in
2004, Armstrong charged her client
$3,200 to cancel her husbands auto insurance and transfer the title of his car
valued at $1,700.
Attorney Armstrongs professional
misconduct, including the systematic
overcharging of her client, is deplorable. Her misconduct is aggravated
by her refusal to acknowledge wrongdoing throughout much of the investigation. Her conduct absolutely
warrants a lengthy suspension of her license to practice law, according to the
opinion.
The Office of Lawyer Regulation
and Armstrong agreed on appropriate
fees should she have charged and stipulated to a restitution amount to correct
the overbilling.
Armstrongs real estate license has
been inactive since 2003, according to
J.P. Wieske, a spokesman with the Office of the Commissioner of Insurance.
The Department of Safety and Professional Services, which licenses real
estate agents, opened an investigation
Thursday into Armstrongs conduct as
a real estate broker, said Hannah
Zillmer, an agency spokesperson.

TAIGU

Times-Tribune photos by Matt Geiger
They changed the name to Taigu, a

nod to their hometown and its food, introduced elegant decorations and
Hongs joyful paintings of everything
from flowers to noodles, and revamped
the menu.
Taigu now offers authentic, madefrom-scratch, hand-cut noodles, rich
scallion pancakes and chewy Shanxi
dumplings.
While most Americanized Chinese
restaurants make their sauces ahead of
time, Hong and her extended family
make theirs at the time of each order.
Were trying to bring our hometown Chinese food here, she says.
The food is scrumptious, the dcor
is unique, and Hong bubbles with the
type of gregarious hospitality that cant
be faked. But it has been a struggle to
educate the dining public about this
hidden gem, she says.
We actually tried to do things like
all other Chinese restaurants at first,
she explains. But after three weeks
PAGE 11
we had a meeting and decided we

would not do anymore of the premade
sauces. We decided to make things
from scratch. Its better, but it just takes
a little more time.
I always tell customers they will
only have to wait five minutes longer,
she continues. They say they have the
time what they care about is flavor.
Hong says she loves meeting the
people who come to grab takeout or sit
and dine in-house. I come here every
day, and I enjoy making so many new
friends, she says. I look forward to it
every morning.
But countless others pass the restaurant by, unaware that they are missing
out on authentic dishes that share space
on a menu also offering more traditional Chinese-American egg rolls and
crab Rangoon.

Middletons
great eight
Cardinals girls
soccer team puts
eight on the
all-Big 8 team
by ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
Middletons girls soccer team shared

the Big Eight Conference title in 2015.
So it seemed appropriate that the
Cardinals had the most players receive
all-conference honors.
Middleton and co-league champion
Madison West both had eight players
named all-league.
Cardinals sophomore forward
Kristen Reikersdorfer, senior midfielder
Megan Sullivan and senior defender
Ashley Stahnke were all named firstteam all-conference. Senior forward
Macey Kalscheur, junior midfielder
Grace Douglas and senior defender

Maddy Schachte were all named second-team all-league, while senior midfielder Emily Krueger and senior
defender Lia Passini were named honorable-mention all-conference.
I was very pleased that eight players got recognized in the all-conference
picks, Middleton coach Mary Duffy
said. We comprised 25% of each team
and I think that each of those players
earned their spot.
I was nervous going into the meeting because I knew that we wouldnt
get everybody, which we didnt.
Winning conference two years in a row,
I really wanted many of the seniors to
get their respect that they have waited
for.
Reikersdorfer played in just the first
16 games of the season before she suffered a season-ending injury. Still,
Reikersdorfer led the Cardinals in scoring with 29 points on 12 goals and five
assists.
Ashton knocks off Middleton

Special to the Times-Tribune
Garret Novinski can beat you with

his bat and his glove, but the Ashton
shortstop has emerged as a threat with
his arm, too.
Novinski retired four of the five
batters he faced to close out Ashtons
3-1 victory over Middleton in a Home
Talent League Northern Section
gameon Sundayat Sorenson-Bakken
Field.
The victory extended Ashtons
winning streak to three games and
moved it over the .500 mark at 5-4.
Middleton suffered its first loss of the
season and fell to 9-1.
Hes very good for a guy who
hadnt pitched until he begged my dad
to get an inning or two, Ashton center
fielder and reliever Shane Adler said
of his father, manager Dave Adler.
(Novinskis) done extremely well.
Shane Adler helped Ashton take the
lead for good in the first inning when
he doubled to right-center field to
score pitcher Kevin Peternell, who led
off the game with a single to center
and moved to second on second baseman Aaron Gowans sacrifice bunt.
(Peternell) had a good at-bat in the
first inning and Gowan is known for
bunting, so he laid it down and I got a
hanging slider and I put it out in rightcenter, Shane Adler said.
Peternell then kept Middleton at
bay, scattering four hits through the
first five innings and not allowing a
runner past second base.
My outside fastball was working.
They seemed to like those, so I kept
throwing them, said Peternell, who
allowed six hits and three walks along
with an unearned run during his 6 1/3
innings of work. I mixed in a slider
here and a curve ball there. But it was
Kevin Dubler and Middletons Home Talent League team fell to Ashton on Sunday.
mainly fastballs and sliders.

Ashton extended its lead to 2-0 in
the fourth inning when Adler reached
base on a bunt single, moved to second on Novinskis sacrifice and
scored on Derek Prochaskas booming
double to right-center field.
But Middleton trimmed its deficit
to 2-1 in the sixth when leadoff hitter
Brandon Scheidler singled to center,

moved to second on Eric Simons sacrifice and scored when Peternell was
charged with a throwing error while
attempting to make a play at third base
on Scheidler.
Early on we were down, getting
behind early, we didnt have much
spark to us. Brandon saw it right
away, Middleton manager Brandon

Hellenbrand said of Scheidler, who
opted to try for third base when it was
left undefended on the play.
He never hesitated and kept coming hard. It was basically a race to get
to third and they tried to hit a guy on
the run, which is no easy play by any
means. Scheidler just kept coming

hard and made something happen.

However, Ashton got the run back
in the seventh when Jackson Keeler
reached base on a fielders choice and
eventually scored on Gowans infield
single.
We didnt catch breaks when we

In my opinion, shes the best forward in the conference, Duffy said.
She will be a force for the Big Eight to
deal with in the next few years.
Sullivan was a unanimous first-team
selection after being named secondteam all-league in 2013 and honorablemention all-conference in 2014.
Sullivan was second on the team
with 26 points, tying for first in goals
scored (12) and adding two assists.
Her solid play and accurate shooting helped in the postseason scoring the
second goal versus (Madison) West and
pulling us one goal closer in the Kettle
Moraine game, even if it was only for a
short time, Duffy said of Sullivan.
Stahnke was voted Middletons
Most Valuable Defender and was a
first-team all-conference selection after
she received honorable-mention honors
in 2014.
She was our rock in the back,
Duffy said. When we didn't have her,
we struggled in the back and were not
able to get forward as much.
Kalscheur had eight goals, two
assists and finished fifth on the team in
total points (18). Kalscheur moved
from the midfield to forward late in the
year when injuries hit, and made a
seamless transition.
Macey Kalscheur was a great spark
plug for us in the midfield, and more
importantly as a forward, Duffy said.
She got her (all-conference) spot as a
forward, even though she only played
there after the West games when we
changed our formation. That was how
big the impact she made in the few
remaining conference games we had
left.
Douglas, a University of Wisconsin
recruit, earned second-team all-league
honors that left Duffy a bit puzzled.
While I wish the conference coaches would have voted her onto the firstteam, I know and the team knows that
Grace is a first-team quality player,
Duffy said. And she will continue her
dominance on the field in her senior
session.
Schachte was another anchor in back
for a Middleton team that allowed just
1.15 goals per game and 0.33 goals in
Big Eight Conference contests.
Maddy Schachte really stepped up
her game and worked hard on long
diagonal balls and stepping in front of
passes, Duffy said. She had her best
season this year.
Kruegers heady play in the midfield
was key to the Cardinals success
especially in the playoffs.
Emily's smart play gave our team
composure, Duffy said. And the quality of her play in the postseason was one
of the reasons for our wins, especially
against West.
Passini was the third Middleton
defender named all-conference, a sign
of respect for the leagues No. 1
defense.
Passini has been a solid wing player
for our team for three years and her best
games this season were in the postseason right when we needed them, Duffy
said. She dominated the West forwards
and took away much of their attack
before it was building.
While the all-conference honors
were nice, Duffy admits thats not what
shell remember from a terrific 2015
season.
I do not see nor will I remember
these girls or this season by numbers,
Duffy said. What we as coaches see is
the impact that they have on the field,
with their teammates and in the community.
These players, these seniors, have
not only made a huge impact on this
team, but in the lives of those who got
to kick a ball around and play this beautiful game with some friends. Many
people believe that it is numbers that
drive success, but it is our hearts and
our character that we should measure
our success in life. And in that, we had
the most successful season possible
with these amazingly gifted 24 girls.

needed them and they caught them
when they needed them and thats
baseball, said Middleton pitcher
Drew Farrell, who tossed a complete
game and allowed 11 hits and no
walks while striking out three.
We played well. We just needed a
few more timely hits and if I execute a
few more pitches its the other way
around.
Middleton knocked Peternell out of
the game in the seventh inning after he
walked A.J. Redders and was unable
to
continue
when
Andrew
Zimmerman hit him with a one-out
liner up the middle which put runners
on first and second.
Shane Adler, though, came on to
retire pinch hitter Jeff Schafer, who
bounced into an inning-ending double
play.
We just came here and do what we
do every week, make plays, Peternell
said.
But it was Ashton third baseman
Nick Maier who eventually made the
play of the game in the eighth, which
sealed Middletons fate.
Scheidler singled to shortstop for
his third hit of the game. Simon and
Kevin Dubler who also had three
hits including a pair of doubles
then followed with back-to-back singles to right field to load the bases.
Middleton clean-up hitter Josh
Hinson then lined a shot to third base
that Maier snared and tagged out
Scheidler for a double play.
It was a bang-bang play. (Hinson)
hit a line drive and I just caught
(Scheidler) off the base enough and
dove for the base and got it, Maier
said. No outs, bases loaded, we needed a double play one way or another.
Novinski then relieved Adler and
struck out Ross Hellenbrand to end the
inning.
It was a great play by Maier down
there. Obviously a foot one way or
another and its a different game,
Hellenbrand said. That was a big
blow to us. We had some momentum
going at the time. (Hinson) hit it hard
and Scheidler tried to get back right
away, but it was a great defensive
play.
Novinski issued a one-out walk to
Cole Cook in the bottom of the ninth
inning before striking out Zimmerman
and inducing Zach Kasdorf to ground
out to first baseman Josh Adler to end
the game.
Peternell finished with three hits,
while Shane Adler, Prochaska and
Keeler chipped in with two hits apiece
for Ashton.
We could have had a few more
timely hits and gotten a lot more runs
but we got some early on and held
on, Dave Adler said. Were back
above .500. We were struggling, but
were going in the right direction.
Novinski said he wants the ball
with the game on the line.
Scrub lets me pitch now in the
ninth. I dont have to beg anymore,
Novinski said of Dave Adler. Last
year in Sauk I had to beg, but I dont
have to beg anymore. Pitching is real-
PAGE 15
ly fun, you get the ball every play.

According
to
Hellenbrand,
Novinski gives Ashton the defending league champion an edge with
the game on the line.
He started to take over last year in
the playoffs as their closer,
Hellenbrand said. As soon as he
came in, we knew theres a reason hes
their closer. Hes their go-to guy to get
people out at the end of the game. He
did it again. He shut us down.
