Every day, 44 people in theUnited States die from the over-dose of prescription painkillers.Many more become addicted,according to the latest data fromthe Center for Disease Controland Prevention. In Wisconsin,according to the Wisconsin De-partment of Health Services,drug overdose deaths doubledfrom 2004 to 2013, and more

Wisconsin residents died in2013 as a result of drug over-doses than from motor vehiclecrashes, suicide, breast cancer,colon cancer, firearms, in-fluenza or HIV.

Opioid pain relievers con-tributed to 45 percent of the 843drug overdose deaths in 2013,while heroin contributed to 27percent.

At this point everyone agreesopiate addiction is a growingproblem in Wisconsin. But howto fight the scourge is still a

matter of debate. This was illustrated recently

by the state’s two members ofthe United State Senate, whotouted very different plans tocombat heroin and prescriptiondrug addiction. Both stayed trueto their respective parties’ polit-ical philosophies. The conserva-tive senator said biggovernment is getting in theway of the war on addiction.The liberal senator said in-creased funding for treatment isthe best solution.

Republican U.S. Sen. RonJohnson last week introduced ameasure that he said would re-duce pressure doctors face thatmay lead to overprescribingpainkilling opioids.

According to a statement is-sued by Johnson, under the Af-fordable Care Act patientsurvey results are factored intoMedicare payments to hospi-tals. Johnson argues that ques-tions specifically related to pain

Special Report

Deneen Carmichael is amother of two and a small busi-ness owner. Jennifer Johnson isan international non-profit attor-ney. But those are just their dayjobs, like Clark Kent’s gig at theDaily Planet.

These local women are alsopart of a profession wherecourage and integrity are theirmost valuable assets. They canwake up in the middle of thenight to answer their pagers andpotentially save lives. Theywear heavy, hot and uncomfort-able clothing for work. They lugcumbersome equipment up tallladders and pry open car doorsfollowing accidents.

They hold the hands of peo-ple in need and comfort them inhard times.

Carmichael and Johnson arevolunteer firefighters with theMiddleton Fire Department.

Johnson has been living inMiddleton for about two years.She bought a house and openedher own non-profit consultingcompany called NCG. She isalso an international non-profitattorney and she loves what shedoes.

Johnson was born in the Mil-waukee area and her familyowns a sausage company inWisconsin. She went to board-ing school, lived in Egypt for awhile and came back to theUnited States to accomplish hermission through her non-profitwork.

Carmichael has lived in Mid-dleton for four years and hastwo daughters. Her latest proj-ect is a women’s boutiquecalled Nina’s in downtownMiddleton. Right after she grad-uated from college in Virginia,she started working at the Vir-ginia Zoo in the ConservationDepartment and lived in Africafor about two years.

Traveling as the Head of theVirginia Zoo Conservation De-partment, she realized that pur-suing a doctorate in herprofessional field was not her

dream - so she decided to keepworking for the zoo and in 2004moved to Ohio. She and herfamily moved to Wisconsin in2008 and she decided to be-come a professional ballroomdancer.

“I decided there is a momentin time that I was able to be aprofessional ballroom dancer soI did it,” she said. “I opened adance studio and I sold it after awhile to open the boutiquecalled Neena.”

Both women recognize thatperseverance and fearless atti-tudes are the key to succeedingin the current world.

“The hell with limitations,”

said Johnson. “If you havesomething in your guts or inyour heart or there is somethingthat you want to accomplish,then do it. You have to live yourlife so you can feel fulfilledeach day. Whatever that is -fire-fighting, traveling, baking.”

As a child, Johnson dreamedof being a firefighter and herconstant positivism, courageand hard work eventually paidoff. She is expected to graduatethis spring with the new Mid-dleton Fire Department traineesas a volunteer firefighter.

In 1970, just 11 percent ofthe women population gradu-ated from college, according to

the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statis-tics. By 2012, that number hadrisen to 38 percent. But despitesuch strides, pay gaps betweenmen and women persist in theUnited States.

On Monday of this week,Women’s Day was be cele-brated around the world. Herein Wisconsin, many organiza-tions held free dinners, con-certs, brunches and otheractivities to honor brave andunique women in our society.

The day was meant to cele-brate women’s successes, butalso to shine a spotlight on lin-gering inequalities. For in-stance, less than 20 percent of

Congress is female, whichplaces the United States behindChina and Afghanistan in thatregard.

While their day jobs garnerJohnson and Carmichael a cer-tain amount of respect, theirwork with the Middleton FireDepartment illustrates how pub-lic safety organizations are in-creasingly open and welcomingto women.

They both agreed that FireChief Aaron Harris and the en-tire department made them feelwelcome and appreciated.

“I had a sense this is uniqueof this area,” observedCarmichael. “I don’t think it iscommon. Middleton is a verysupportive environment for

women to get started and allalong the way I have never everfelt [any indication] that I amnot competent or I shouldn’t behere. This is a very respectfulenvironment.”

Like Johnson andCarmichael, many professionalwomen in Middleton and be-yond are trying to be recognizedand thrive in a world that for solong was dominated by men.

“Fear, bias, non acceptanceor failure - you have to get pastthat,” said Carmichael. “Youhave just one life, you got thisone life and we get older andolder and if it doesn’t work outat least you did something, youlearned something about your-self. That is huge.”

The Middleton CommonCouncil has approved a land usestudy for the urban and unde-veloped area that surrounds thePleasant View Golf Course thatwill be funded by the city’s taxincrement financing (TIF) dis-trict #3.

The motion passed approves

addendums to existing contactswith Vandewalle and Associatesand Strand Engineering. Scopeof work, cost estimate, timelineand phasing will be broughtback to the council for final ap-proval.

Alder Gurdip Brar askedwhat city staff had in mind withtheir recommendation to ap-prove the study.

“What is your vision? What

would you like to get out of itand why now?” Brar asked.

“I think the vision will be de-termined by the study,” alderMark Sullivan interjected.

City planning director EileenKelley agreed with Sullivan thatthe vision will be guided by thestudy.

City council approves Yahara Watershed Agreement

The Middleton CommonCouncil last week approved anintergovernmental agreementfor an adaptive managementplan for reducing phosphorousin the Yahara Watershed as re-quired by the EPA. More than20 governing bodies haveagreed to participate in the pro-gram lead by Madison Metro-politan Sewer District(MMSD).

More than a decade ago theCity of Middleton and neigh-boring communities beganworking with MMSD to meetlower phosphorus levels re-quired by the state’s Depart-ment of Natural Resources andultimately the EPA. Sewagetreatment plants and industryare major sources of phospho-rus, along with fertilizer, cattlemanure, grass clippings and de-bris that washes off streets andparking lots. Phosphorus andother nutrients such as nitrogenfeed the algae that is rampant in

many Wisconsin lakes.Kathy Lake from the Madi-

son Metropolitan SewerageDistrict said the agreement is asignificant opportunity for thecity.

“This project is probably ourmajor opportunity in our life-times to work together and im-prove the water quality in ourregion,” Lake said to the coun-cil.

The agreement’s fundingschedule currently has Middle-ton’s annual cost share as$117,000 each year over 20years. However, the city’s stormwater management master planwas recently updated to reflectthe city’s storm water manage-ment efforts in recent years.Considerable reductions havebeen made compared to the pre-vious modeling results.

The model in 2007 showedthat the city had achieved 41.3percent reduction in total sus-pended solids. The model todayshows that the reduction is ap-proximately 55.5 percent. A re-duction in total suspendedsolids corresponds to a reduc-

tion in total phosphorus, thoughat a somewhat lower rate. If theDNR approves the revisedstorm water model, the city’s re-quirement for annual phospho-rus load reductions would belowered from 2370 lb to 970 lb.The corresponding amount ofthe city’s annual share of thecost to participate would be re-duced from the current$117,000 down to approxi-mately $48,000. Additionalsavings are also possible as thecity continues to improve itsown storm water managementpractices.

Alder Hans Hilbert filled thecouncil in on some of the his-tory, discussions and decisionsthat led the city to consideringapproving the agreement.

“We’re being told by the EPAthat the Rock River, Lake Men-dota and Pheasant Branch areimpaired waterways that needto be cleaned up,” Hilbert said.“The DNR has provided us witha number of pounds of phos-phorus that need to be removed,at this point water resourcemanagement commission mem-

bers agree that adaptive man-agement is probably the mostfeasible mechanism to stay incompliance with the DNR re-quirement.”

“That being said there hasbeen discussion at those meet-ings about if we are buying intosomething that’s really going tohave a benefit for the city,”Hilbert added. “Yes it willbring us into compliance, butthere are alternatives that haveother benefits to the city such asaesthetic improvement, parksand open space opportunities.”

Hilbert said at this point intime the city has to tell the DNRwhat its plan is and approvingthe agreement means it will par-ticipate in the adaptive manage-ment program. He said that theplan may change in the futuredepending on how the city con-tinues to evaluate the stormwater modeling, its commit-ment to the program and re-views other projects that meetthe requirements and have otherbenefits.

“Just because we are enteringinto this now does not mean that

we are done with it,” Hilbertclarified.

Lake explained that theagreement is structured to re-duce the amount the city wouldpay in future years based on cityefforts that reduce phospho-rous. She explained that munic-ipalities are encouraged toimplement their own policiesand that if they are able to ac-complish their reductions thereare off ramps every five years.

“If every community were tobe able to meet their phospho-rus requirements on their own,we would be done,” Lake said.“The goal of adaptive manage-ment is meet the collectivephosphorous reductionsthroughout the basin.”

Alder JoAnna Richard saidshe had concerns about thecity’s contribution having to bepaid upfront for five years.Lake explained that if an over-payment was made it would bepaid back over the remainingfour years.

“It does give me heartburn

that we are giving our money tosomeone to hold if that is ourmoney, especially if we aregoing to be reduced,” Richardsaid. “Why can’t it be truedup in one year, why does it haveto be a four year paybacktime?”

“The intent is not to get peo-ple’s money and hold it, but ifthere is a significant amount ofmoney and we have a planwhere we will spend a lot in ayear, it will be hard to come upwith that whole chunk thatneeds to be refunded in a year,”Lake responded. “No onewants to hold that money, weare putting it into practices thatultimately are helping the wholewatershed.”

The council approved the in-tergovernmental agreementwith execution pending until aletter is sent by Mayor KurtSonnetag indicating approval ofthe agreement pending DNRapproval of the revised stormwater models. The motionpassed unanimously.

This exhibition is called the “Under-

cover Festival of Flipbooks” and is partof the Flipbooks in Libraries projectconceived by UK artist Anton Hecht.Regarding the inspiration for this proj-ect, Anton says, “The idea came froma story I heard a while back about aplaywright, Jo Orton, who was wellknown here in the UK in the 60s, andhe went to court for defacing librarybooks and that kind of got me thinkingabout doing a kind of undercover artshow, and giving flip books a bit of aconcept.” As part of Middleton Public

Library’s exhibition patrons will alsohave a chance to create their own flip-books using old books as a canvas atour DIY Flipbook Station. We’ll alsohave an iPad set up for those who wantto make digital flipbook animationsusing the Animator app. The exhibitionruns now through March 31.

management could have the un-intended effect of pressuringphysicians to prescribe opioidsin order to ensure high patientsatisfaction scores and reim-bursement.

“It is important to be mindfulof unintended consequences ofwell-intentioned actions,” saidJohnson. “The government maymean well by linking paymentsto patient satisfaction, but thereis a real concern that specificquestions about pain manage-ment place inappropriate pres-sure on doctors. Physiciansmust be free to exercise theirbest judgment when prescribingthe proper level of pain medica-tion – that’s what patients andtaxpayers expect.”

Johnson proposed an amend-ment to the Comprehensive Ad-diction and Recovery Act of2016 that he says would ensurethat pain management questionson patient surveys would notfactor into Medicare reimburse-ment calculations. The amend-

ment is based on a bipartisanmeasure introduced in theHouse by Rep. Alex Mooney(R-W.Va.) known as the Pro-moting Responsible Opioid Pre-scribing Act. That bill has beenendorsed by the American Med-ical Association.

The legislation is one of sev-eral amendments Johnson isproposing to the Comprehen-sive Addiction and RecoveryAct.

Other Johnson amendmentsinclude measures that prioritizethe reform of standards for pre-scribing painkilling drugs toprotect patients suffering fromboth pain and post-traumaticstress disorder and ensure theIndian Health Service is in-cluded among federal stake-holders in developing bestpractices for prescribing painmedications.

Johnson also proposed anamendment to encourage theFood and Drug Administrationto clear what conservatives say

are “bureaucratic barriers” toswifter access to potentially“lifesaving treatments” for ter-minally ill patients. The FDA is-sued guidance over a year agointended to make access totreatment easier, but the guid-ance has not yet been finalized.

Yet another Johnson amend-ment would allegedly enhancethe ability of the Department ofHomeland Security to measureprogress in securing the borderby directing it to use better andmore consistent data, he said.The bill also requires theagency to make its data avail-able to the public and to reportspecific information on bordersecurity regularly to Congress.

U.S. Senator Tammy Bald-win, a Democrat, has intro-duced her own amendment toenact President Obama’s budgetrequest and provide for about$1.1 billion in new funding toaddress the prescription opioidabuse and heroin use epidemic.Baldwin introduced the provi-

sion last week to the Compre-hensive Addiction and RecoveryAct.

Consistent with PresidentObama’s Fiscal Year 2017Budget, this amendment in-cludes $1 billion in new manda-tory funding to expand access totreatment and recovery servicesfor opioid use disorders, supportthe placement of substance usedisorder treatment providers inthe communities most in needof behavioral health providers,and continue to build the evi-dence base for effective treat-ment programs. Baldwin saidthe additional funding wouldboost efforts to help individualswith an opioid use disorder toseek treatment, successfullycomplete treatment, and sustainrecovery.

“Opioid abuse is an epidemicin Wisconsin that continues togrow at an alarming rate,” saidBaldwin. “As our communitiesacross America struggle withthis epidemic on a daily basis,

Congress must act to combatthis problem with solutions andthe investments to make themwork. This funding is vital toour first responders, healthcareproviders and criminal justicesystem as they fight this epi-demic. Most importantly, theseinvestments will help savelives.”

Her amendment includesmore than $90 million in addi-tional funding to expand exist-ing efforts across theDepartments of Justice andHealth and Human Services toexpand state-level prescriptiondrug overdose preventionstrategies, expand access tomedication assisted treatment,improve access to the overdose-reversal drug naloxone, andsupport targeted enforcementactivities.

Two weeks ago Baldwin,along with Senator SherrodBrown of Ohio, introduced newlegislation that they said wouldaddress the opioid addiction cri-

sis from prevention to recovery.The Heroin and PrescriptionDrug Abuse Prevention and Re-duction Act outlines a compre-hensive approach and allocateswhat they say are necessaryfunds to combat the heroin andprescription drug epidemic infour key areas: prevention, cri-sis, treatment, and recovery.Supporters say the bill wouldimprove access to lifesavingopioid reversal drugs, likenaloxone, enhance treatmentand recovery services for ourhardest hit communities, ex-pand access to medication-as-sisted treatments, likebuprenorphine, as well as pro-vide greater substance abusetreatment and counseling op-tions for youth and pregnantwomen.

Earlier this month, Baldwinalso announced her support foremergency funding legislationto address the heroin and opioidabuse epidemic. The Opioidand Heroin Epidemic Emer-gency Supplemental Appropria-tions Act introduced by SenatorJeanne Shaheen (D-NH), wouldprovide supplemental appropri-ations totaling $600 million toprograms at the Department ofJustice and the Department ofHealth and Human Services.

Baldwin’s amendment to theComprehensive Addiction andRecovery Act of 2016 would in-clude $920 million forSAMHSA for State TargetedResponse Cooperative Agree-ments to support cooperativeagreements with states to ex-pand access to medication-as-sisted treatment for opioid usedisorders. States would receivefunds based on the severity ofthe epidemic and on thestrength of their strategy to re-spond to it. States can use thesefunds to expand treatment ca-pacity and make services moreaffordable.

It would also include $50million for HRSA for the Na-tional Health Service Corps toexpand access to substance usetreatment providers and $30million for SAMHSA to studytreatment effectiveness.

The proposed funding wouldalso include $50.1 million forSAMHSA targeted capacitygrants for Medication-AssistedTreatment; $10 million to estab-lish a buprenorphine demon-stration project; $10 million forCDC to support disseminationof safe opioid prescribingguidelines; $10 million forHRSA for a rural opioid over-dose reversal program; $5 mil-lion for ONC to enhancePrescription Drug MonitoringPrograms; $3 million for Bu-reau of Prisons Treatment Pro-grams; $50 million for DOJ’sSecond Chance Act Grant Pro-gram; $14 million for DOJ toexpand residential substanceabuse treatment; and $12.5 mil-lion for DEA Heroin Enforce-ment Groups.

Aside from potential for ad-

Kelley said that the latest TIF

“I don’t doubt that we couldspend that much on public im-provement, economic develop-ment, and storm water and

Alder Howard Teal said that

in his experience this was typi-cal practice.

“For the last 20 to 30 yearsthat’s how we have startedeverything with this kind of aprocess,” Teal said. “To not dothat we would be kicking our-selves.”

Alder Hans Hilbert said hewould like a timeline from Van-dewalle and Associates beforemoving further ahead to makesure things are going to workout with the golf course andparks and recreation commit-tees.

MIDDLETON TIMES-TRIBUNE THURSDAY, MARCH 10, 2016

Vote could force some students out of district

A look at technology services in local schools

The Middleton-Cross PlainsArea School District Board ofEducation recently reviewed theimpact of changes made to thedistrict open enrollment policy.While enrollment continues togrow each year in the district,the board has had to restrict thenumber of students attendingfrom outside district bound-aries.

On January 25 the boardvoted to change the policy sothat students must now re-applywhen they enter middle school.They previously needed to re-apply when they entered highschool. At full capacity in themiddle schools, open enroll-ment and waiver studentsscheduled to attend GlacierCreek or Kromrey next year

will lose their spot.Superintendent Don Johnson

reviewed how the board endedup coming to and making thatdecision.

“We have projected for nextyear a 140 student increase, al-though that is for budgetingpurposes,” Johnson said. “Weproject certainly that that couldbe much higher given that thisyear we were really in the 300students range depending onhow you look at membershipand headcount.”

Membership and headcountare different Johnson ex-plained. Headcount is the ac-tual number of students,whereas membership is numberof full-time students which isthe number the DPI uses to de-termine funding.

He went over enrollment in-creases from recent years, not-ing the only time enrollment has

declined is following yearswhere a referendum failed.

The district reviewed enroll-ment capacity at every school inJanuary and found that theschool facing the most pressureis Glacier Creek, which is pro-jected to be more than 50 stu-dents over capacity next year,Johnson explained. Park andWest Middleton are likely nextand both will have only oneclassroom available in 2016-17. The high school is less than100 students from capacity, andeven the newly built-out Krom-rey is within 48 students of ca-pacity. The total number ofopen enrollment students is cur-rently 228.

Johnson noted they are plan-ning to add lockers at GlacierCreek and Kromrey next year.He said he also believes the dis-trict may have to consider facil-ity expansion as early as next

year at Glacier Creek.“If we had made the decision

to keep the transfer from middleto high, our middle schoolswould be even more crowded,’’Diane Hornung said.

Johnson said the district ef-fectively made a trade when itmoved fifth-graders to the mid-dle school starting in 2013-14;it moved the capacity issuesfrom the elementary to the mid-dle schools.

Johnson pointed out thatlegal counsel said the board cannot make a decision based onfamily circumstances. There isopen enrollment at a certainlevel or not, he explained.

The district currently consid-ers capacity to be 23 studentsper classroom at elementaryschools, except for Sauk Trail,which is a Title I school. Statefunding for open enrollmentstudents has also declined, al-

though he said that wasn’t a fac-tor in recommendation or deci-sion.

Board president Bob Greenasked what the difference infunding was for open enroll-ment students.

“An open enrollment studentwould generate slightly morethan $6,000 of revenue for thedistrict, and a membership resi-dent student would generateslightly more than $11,000, sothey just generate different lev-els of revenue,” Johnsonreplied.

“But the cost is the same tothe district?” Green questioned.

“Yes, the cost for educatingwould be same to, with the ex-ception that special educationstudents are more costly.”Johnson responded.

Deputy superintendentGeorge Mavroulis said the oldpolicy allowed an open enroll-

ment family to have all of itschildren here, even if there was-n’t space at other grade levels.He said the January 25 votechanged that policy. Johnsonalso reminded the board thatduring the 2012 referendumsome residents complainedabout open enrollment studentspushing capacity concerns.

Board member Paul Kinneasked if there was any loopholefor parents with kids enrolled inthe district that wanted to re-main in.

Johnson did say there was aloophole, but the district wouldhave to increase capacity lev-els. He said increasing capacityfrom 23 to 26 students wouldopen up 60 slots. However, thedistrict would have to do that atall levels and would then haveto allow open enrollment stu-dents to fill those slots.

Director of Technology Serv-ices Jim Blodgett presented theMCPASD Board of Educationwith an annual update on thestate of technology services inthe district. He emphasizedhow the devices and use ofspace have changed over thelast year. He also mentionedinitiatives the department com-pleted over the summer.

“We’ve made a concerted ef-fort to take our technology frombeing a place where students goto, to having it embedded in

their classrooms, so it becomespart of their learning environ-ment as opposed to somethingthat is augmented on to theirlearning environment,” Blod-gett said. “That transition hasmeant that we have had to makesignificant changes to our tech-nology as far as the network andwhat we use for devices.”

Blodgett says they’ve movedaway from dedicated computerlabs and been setting up cartswith Chromebooks and iPadsthat can be wheeled into anyspace. The prior technologycenters are now being used forlearning space with furniturethat can be easily rearranged

and set up for collaborative andgroup exercises.

Glacier Creek and Northsidelibraries were upgraded over thesummer to more collaborativeset up. MHS room 1050 wasalso converted from a standardclassroom to a flexible learningspace, Blodgett explained.

Superintendent Don Johnsontold the board as old furniture isreplaced it will be succeeded bymore the new arrangeable furni-ture. Blodgett said that the fur-niture has batteries that cancharge devices throughout theday.

Blodgett also spoke on howtechnology costs have de-

creased and options have in-creased. He said the districtnow purchases Chromebooksfor about $190 apiece and be-lieves they will last about fouryears.

Board member Paul Kinnesaid one of his daughters pur-chased a Chromebook from thedistrict and so far it has held upquite well.

Blodgett talked about thesuccess of the district’s Tech-nology Access for All program.More than 130 students ineighth and ninth grade pur-chased Chromebooks, while an-other 93 purchased graphingcalculators, he said.

He explained that theChromebooks are sold for $175to all students; $40 to studentswho receive free and reducedlunch, and students in transitioncan receive for free.

Board president Bob Greenasked what the demand was forgraphing calculators at the re-duced cost of $20 instead of$106. Blodgett most that weresold were at the reduced costand Green speculated how thatcould have been a barrier tosome students taking advancedclasses.

Blodgett added MHS nowhas 12 MiFi devices, ClarkStreet Community School has

three and each middle schoolhas two. They are portableWiFi hotspots that can bechecked out by students.

Blodgett also pointed out thatthe high-speed fiber connectionbetween Kromrey and the Mid-dleton Police Department wasalso recently routed to ClarkStreet Community School.

Superintendent Johnsonpraised Blodgett’s work overthe past few years.

“We are very fortunate tohave Jim in this role,’’ Johnsonsaid. “It’s not about just thetechnology, but how the kidslearn with it. Thanks to Jim andhis team.”



More than 1,200 Wisconsinhigh school students - fromareas as diverse as Middleton,Bonduel, Janesville, and theMilwaukee Public School sys-tem - are in the process of read-ing a book that many Americanshave never heard of: the classicnovel of sixteenth-centuryChina, Wu Cheng’en’s Journeyto the West.

Locally, students at ClarkStreet Community School, theMiddleon-Cross Plains AreaSchool District’s groundbreak-ing charter school, are takingpart in the program. They evenwent on their own journey (tothe east, to China Town inChicago) as part of their studies.

Thanks to a major grantawarded by the Wisconsin Hu-manities Council to UW-Madi-son’s Center for the Humanities,UW-Madison faculty, graduatestudents and staff will join stu-dents in their classrooms to en-gage in the collaborative study

of world literature over thecourse of the coming year.

Launched in 2005 by theCenter for the Humanities, eachyear the Great World Texts inWisconsin program engageshigh school students and teach-ers across the state in thought-ful, critical dialogue with oneanother and with world-renowned scholars about worksof literature as diverse asChinua Achebe’s Things FallApart and The Arabian Nights.

These texts serve as lensesthrough which to see our worldanew, providing students theopportunity to discuss some ofthe most pressing issues of ourtime, and to explore the rela-tionship between humanistic in-quiry and global citizenship.Shaped by voices that reflect avariety of cultural and socioeco-nomic backgrounds, this con-versation provides students acritical opportunity to explorethese questions with peers from

across the state of Wisconsin,and to become familiar withgreat works of literature that arenot usually taught in highschool classrooms.

Great World Texts is unfor-gettable to the students andteachers who participate. LydiaMyer, a junior at East HighSchool in Madison who readJean-Jacques Rousseau’s Con-fessions as part of last year’sprogram, says “I gained agreater appreciation for the his-tory of the world. It was inter-esting to look into the life ofsomeone from a different placeand time.”

Arundhati Roy, author of theBooker Prize-winning novelThe God of Small Things, saysof her experience as keynotespeaker at the student confer-ence, “What more could anywriter ask for? It was pure in-spiration. I wanted to packeverybody up, the students, theteachers, and bring you home to

show my folks how booksshould be taught, how booksshould be read, how booksshould be owned. I was exhila-rated by the kind of mad, youth-ful creativity of the students andequally by their feisty, spiritedteachers.”

Grant funds awarded by theWisconsin Humanities Councilwill support the Great WorldTexts program’s statewide out-reach initiative, which is new tothis year’s programming. Inprevious years, participatinghigh school students convenedon the UW-Madison campus forthe program’s Annual StudentConference. The same isplanned for this year, but with atwist thanks to the WisconsinHumanities Council: over thenext few months, UW-Madisonexperts and Great World Textsstaff will visit high schoolsstatewide to mentor studentsand educators as they preparefor the program’s culminating

event.Dena Wortzel, Executive Di-

rector of the Wisconsin Human-ities Council, says “Great WorldTexts is the kind of experiencethat can change the way a stu-dent sees the world and their ac-ademic future.” The WisconsinHumanities Council is “excitedthat Great World Texts has con-tinued to expand to reach moreschools across Wisconsin withone of the finest humanities ed-ucation experiences available toK-12 teachers and their stu-dents,” says Wortzel.

The Great World Texts An-nual Student Conference, fea-turing an interactive discussionwith Tony Award-winning play-wright David Henry Hwang,who created a TV film adapta-tion of the novel, will take placeon Wednesday, April 20, 2016from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. atUnion South. Conferenceevents are free and open to all.Further information on the

Great World Texts program, in-cluding a list of prior texts,teaching materials, and infor-mation on how to participate, ison the web athumanities.wisc.edu.

The Wisconsin HumanitiesCouncil is a leading statewideresource for librarians, teachers,museum educators and civicleaders, who drive entertainingand informative programs usinghistory, culture and discussionto strengthen community lifefor everyone. The WisconsinHumanities Council alsoawards more than $175,000 ayear over seven rounds ofgrants to local organizations pi-loting humanities program-ming.

Grant will take aim at drugged drivingWisconsin had approxi-

mately 24,000 Operating WhileIntoxicated (OWI) cases in2014, but the current trend is adecrease in alcohol cases and anincrease in drug impaired driv-ing cases.

The Dane County Sheriff’sOffice, Madison Police, (Wis-DOT) Division of State Patrol,the Dane County District Attor-ney’s Office, the WisconsinState Hygiene Laboratory, theWisconsin Department of Jus-tice and eight other local policeagencies are teaming up to

gather data to determine the ex-tent of drugged driving in DaneCounty. A WisDOT grant for$16,650.00 is being used to pur-chase four Alere DDS2 MobileTest Systems and 300 drug testkits.

This pilot project will help todetermine the scope of drug im-paired driving in Dane Countyand collect data to assist in legalchanges to include oral fluidanalysis in impaired drivingcases. The oral fluid testing isnot evidentiary and will notplay any role in the prosecution

of impaired driving cases.The Alere test system is

portable, and allows for rapidscreening for drugs using oralfluids. Forty-eight officersfrom participating agencies,which include Verona, Fitch-burg, Stoughton, DeForest, Uni-versity of Wisconsin, Oregon,Middleton, and the City ofMadison, will participate in 16-hour training, with deploymentof the testing equipment sched-uled to start in March of 2016.

The Advanced Roadside Im-paired Driving Enforcement

(ARIDE) training program wasdeveloped by the NationalHighway Traffic Safety Admin-istration (NHTSA) with inputfrom the International Associa-tion of Chiefs of Police (IACP),Technical Advisory Panel, andthe Virginia Association ofChiefs of Police. The programwas developed to fill the gap intraining between StandardizedField Sobriety Testing and theDrug Evaluation and Classifica-tion (DEC) program. Deputiesand officers will be trained toobserve, identify and articulate

the signs of impairment relatedto drugs, alcohol, or a combina-tion of both. The goal of thetraining is to help law enforce-ment be more effective in howthey detect drug-impaired driv-ers.

“We’re seeing an alarmingnumber of drug impaired driv-ers in Dane County, many ofwhich are under the influence ofheroin. The Sheriff’s Office isworking in every way possibleto educate the community, andcombat the effects that this drugis having on the safety and well-

being of our citizens. This grantis one more step in this fight,”said Sheriff David Mahoney.

“Deaths and injuries causedby impaired drivers devastateindividuals, families and entirecommunities,” said Col. BrianRahn, deputy superintendent ofthe Wisconsin State Patrol.

“The multi-agency effort tocombat drugged driving inDane County will help savelives and prevent injuriesthrough effective enforcementand education.”

Janesville Craigousts Middleton

Live by the three, die bythe three.

That adage rang true for thesecond-seeded MiddletonCardinals girls’ basketballteam Thursday night.

The Cardinals missed 16consecutive three-pointattempts to open the game andnot even a furious second-halfrally could undo the damage.

Janesville Craig’s DelaneySchoenenberger finished witha game-high 30 points andAnne Schumacher chipped inwith 17 points as the third-seeded Cougars pulled awayfor a 74-57 victory overMiddleton in a WIAADivision 1 sectional semifinalat Madison La Follette HighSchool.

“It was an uphill battle allthe way tonight,” Middletoncoach Jeff Kind admitted.

Middleton, which defeatedCraig twice during the regularseason, finished the year 21-4.The Cougars (19-6) advancedto meet top-seeded Verona(22-3) in a sectional final onSaturday at Janesville Parkerat 1 p.m.

“We needed to work it intothe post more. We needed torun our offense and weweren’t really doing it,”Middleton junior BriaLemirande said. “I definitelythink they came out wanting itmore than us. That was thebiggest thing they had going.”

Added junior AlyssaLemirande, who scored 10 ofher team-high 14 points in thesecond half: “We just couldn’tget anything to fall and theyplayed strong defense. Theyweren’t letting us drive to thebasket.”

Junior Carlee Lemirandeand sophomore Claire Staplesscored 12 points each for

Middleton, which made just17-of-56 field goal attempts(30.3%), including a dismal 3-of-28 (10.7 percent) fromthree-point range.

While the Cardinals didsink 20-of-25 free-throwattempts (80.0%), including13-of-16 in the second half, itproved to be too little, toolate.

“We were settling for out-side shots instead of gettingthe ball inside,” Kind said.“Part of the process all yearlong has been learning whatkind of intensity you have tohave all of the time. I think wehad some ups and downs withour intensity. Unfortunatelythis isn’t a good time to haveone of those downs.”

Janesville Craig, though,had something to do withMiddleton’s struggles on bothends of the court.

Halle White (top), Alyssa Lemirande (above) and Middleton’s girls basketball team finished the year with a 21-4 record.

GIRLS BB continued from page 12nquicker than we did,” Kindadded. “They played an excel-lent game. You can’t afford tolet anybody get up by 20points on you and try to comeback.

“They got 14 points onoffensive boards in the firsthalf. It’s tough to win thatway.”

Middleton defeated Craig,87-74, in the regular seasonfinale on Feb. 20. Sophomorepost Halle White ledMiddleton with 22 points inthat game.

But White was held to justfour points as Janesville Craigemployed a 2-3 matchup zoneto force Middleton to shootfrom the outside.

It certainly did the trick.“Defensively, they hurt us

inside so what we said — wedidn’t plan on them missingtheir first 16 threes — was wewere going to pack it in a littlebit,” Janesville Craig coachKerry Storbakken said. “Thebigger the game, the harder itis to make them. You live anddie by (threes) and they diedtonight.”

Middleton scored firstwhen junior Alexis Thomasconverted a putback off amissed three-pointer byAlyssa Lemirande.

“That first possession wasgreat. They got an offensiverebound but I knew when theytook 30 seconds to score wewere in good shape,”Storbakken said.

After both teamsexchanged field goals,Schoenenberger sank a layupto jump-start a 17-2 surge asJanesville Craig roared to a19-6 lead midway through thefirst half.

During that span,Middleton missed seven ofeight field goal attempts,including all six three-point-ers, and committed threeturnovers in nine possessions.

That set the tone for theCardinals, who made just 7-of-26 field goal attempts(26.9%) — and were 0-for-13from three-point range — inthe first half as the Cougarscruised to a 37-21 lead.

“We came into it not realiz-ing how strong they wouldcome out,” Carlee Lemirandesaid of Janesville Craig,which missed its first fourfield goal attempts, but shot48.4% (15-of-31) the rest ofthe opening frame. “Once wegot the first basket, we backedoff and they went really hardafter that. We didn’t pick upthe pace until the secondhalf.”

Craig didn’t miss a beatafter halftime, using a 9-2spurt to pull ahead 46-23 with13:58 to play after KamrynBrittingham foundSchoenenberger open for aneasy layup.

But instead of packing it in,the Cardinals regrouped.

Carlee Lemirande scoredeight points, including a pairof threes, to lead a 13-4 surgeand bring Middleton within50-36 and forced the Cougarsto a call a timeout.

“I realized we needed thepoints so I started shooting

it,” said Carlee Lemirande,who sank her third and finalthree-pointer moments later tohelp ignite another spurt thatbreathed more life into theCardinals.

Alyssa Lemirande convert-ed a three-point play andThomas made two free throwsto cap a 14-4 run and trimMiddleton’s deficit to 56-50with 5:28 to play.

“We had more energy andpeople were cheering for uswhen we made shots and wefed off that,” CarleeLemirande said. “We realizedit could be the last game so wepicked up our intensity.”

The Cougars, though,weren’t finished. Craig quick-ly responded to the challengewhen Schumacher foundSchoenenberger open at thetop of the key for a clutchthree-pointer.

The Cardinals never gotany closer than nine points therest of the way.

“Since we beat them lastyear in this position, we knewthey wanted to come out andget us,” said Thomas, whoseteam rallied to defeat Craig ina sectional final last year.“Whichever team came outand wanted it more was goingto win. We came out and gaveit our best, but we didn’t comethrough.”

Storbakken agreed lastyear’s loss to Middleton in thesectional finals played a rolein the Cougars’ quick start anddetermined finish.

“We start four seniors andour kids are locked in, theyare dialed in,” Storbakkensaid. “They remembered lastyear. It’s hard to beat a goodteam three times. It is. We hada lot more to play for.

“When we went up there atthe end of the season, they hadthe conference title to playfor. It’s not that we didn’thave anything to play for, butthey had a lot more to play for.Here, it was even stakes win-ner moves on to the sectionalchampionships.”

Fighting back her tears atthe sudden end of theCardinals’ season, AlyssaLemirande said the gamewould serve as motivationover the next 12 months.

“We will have a reallygood team next year butwe’ve got to keep workinghard so we don’t end our sea-son short like we just did,”Alyssa Lemirande said. “Wehave to work hard every dayin practice and never give up.I don’t want to feel like thisagain.”

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

19-5. West improved to 14-10 and meets third-seededMadison Memorial in a sec-tional semifinal Thursday.

“There’s really nothing thatwe did that I can fault,” Baverysaid. “(West) came and took it.They played extremely hardand I thought that we playedextremely hard.”

One area that hurt theCardinals was offensiverebounding. The Regents out-rebounded the Cardinals, 36-24, in the game, including adecisive 14-4 edge on theoffensive glass.

“It was just two really goodphysical teams,” Bavery said.“If there was a difference, theywere more physical.

“At tournament time, theofficials are going to let peoplebang pretty hard. They cameand took some rebounds awayfrom us, got some putbacks,and did some things late thatwere the difference makers.”

Added junior guard StormMurphy, who led the Cardinalswith a game-high 31 points:“They’re a long, athletic teamand they tip the ball around.They had about four or fiveguys in there rebounding everytime. They went to the glasshard and outrebounded us forsure.”

Afterwards, the Cardinalstook the loss extremely hard.

“What’s tough right now isthe team sitting in that lockerroom clearly had the talent, thepotential, the drive, the workethic to make it all the way tothe Kohl Center this year,”Bavery said of his team.“Clearly, in our sectional, wewere better than most and asgood as anybody. That’s whatis most disheartening.

“It’s easy to say that we’vegot a ton of people comingback, a ton of scoring, a ton ofexperience, but it’s still alwaysa senior led team and we’vekept emphasizing down thestretch that there is no tomor-row and there are absolutely noguarantees. So this team wasreally focused on making ithappen now.”

It was the third timeMiddleton and West had metthis season with the Cardinalsposting victories in both of theprevious contests — 81-73on Jan. 8 at Middleton and 71-70 on Feb. 16 at West.

“It’s such a tough leagueand it usually ends up being aconference tournament at tour-nament time,” Baverysaid. “The old adage that it’stough to beat a team threetimes, I don’t believe that at all.The better team always winsthat third game. Whether it was1-1 during the regular seasonor whether it was 2-0.”

The contest was closethroughout with neither teamleading by more than six pointsuntil the final minutes. TheCardinals trailed 38-35 at half-time despite 16 points fromMurphy. Isaiah McFaddendrilled a 3-pointer in the finalminute of the half to give theRegents the three-point advan-tage.

Middleton used an 11-4 runto take a 46-42 lead in the sec-ond half. Murphy contributedsix points during the burst.

West answered right backwith three consecutive three-pointers. Greg Wright hit a pairof three-pointers and RaekwonHess hit another three to put theRegents back in front 51-46.

“We don’t see West as the

hottest three-point shootingteam in the conference, but younever know,” Murphy said.“This is the playoffs, it’sMarch. They came down andhit three threes and I was kindof shocked, but we came back,too.”

Bavery was surprised by thethree-pointers as well.

“(The three-pointers) wereat big times and they were fromunexpected people,” Baverysaid. “We knew they werecapable but, for the most part,they’re always going to domore damage putting the ballon the floor than they are fromoutside the arc and that‘s theway we played it tonight.Credit to them.”

Middleton came back totake a 58-54 lead on a 3-pointerby Brogan Brunker followedby Eady’s dunk.

“It was an energy boost,”said Eady of the dunk. “When Igot the ball I knew I was goingto dunk it. All of it is aboutenergy, the energy of the team.I knew that dunk would ener-gize the team.”

Said Murphy: “I waspumped. That dunk was crazyand Tyree’s a pretty good bas-ketball player. And Brogandrained the three. He steppedup big-time and he’s only asophomore.”

The Regents battled backagain tying the game at 58-58on a pair of inside baskets byLarry Hawkins. A layup byEady put the Cardinals backahead, but a three-pointer by

McFadden gave the Regents a61-60 lead and started an 8-0run that pushed West’s lead to66-60 with 6:00 remaining.

Four consecutive freethrows by Murphy helpedMiddleton pull within 66-64,but a 7-0 run capped by aMcFadden basket made it 73-64 with 1:59 to play.

Middleton closed within 73-69 on a three-pointer byMurphy and two free throws byBrunker, but Hawkins scoredon a putback for West with 46seconds remaining and theCardinals could get no closerthan four points the rest of theway.

“There were a lot of swingsin that game,” Murphy said.“We’d be up by four thenthey’d come back and be up bysix, we’d bring it back to two… that game was a lot of fun.We would be struggling for apossession or two then rejoic-ing after a few possessionsthere, but it came down to wecouldn’t finish all of our shotsand couldn’t stop enough ofthem.”

West converted on 28-of-55field goal attempts (50.9 per-cent) including 7-of-17 from 3-point range (41.1 percent).

“It seemed like we couldn’tget multiple stops in a row,”Bavery said. “Whenever weneeded a big stop they got itdeep, they got to the line,missed a free throw and got anoffensive rebound, or they gotit deep, missed a shot, but we

didn’t get the backside blockout. They played extremelyhard.”

The loss capped a successfulseason for the Cardinals whoshared of the Big EightConference title with MadisonMemorial and Sun Prairie —marking the first timeMiddleton had won a piece ofthe league title since the 2001season.

“That was pretty special tosay we were one of the No. 1teams in the conference,”Murphy said. “So we did some-thing special. I know everyonehad high expectations cominginto the playoffs. We couldn’tquite meet those expectations,but I’m just really proud of thisteam, how hard we workedevery single day in practice,how hard we worked on thecourt and the love for everyoneon the team that you can’t findon any other team.”

Eady is already looking for-ward to next season when theCardinals will bring back anucleus that includes fourreturning starters in Eady,Murphy, Brunker, and C.J.Fermanich.

“We feel good but not satis-

fied,” said Eady of the season.“I’ve played with these guysfor three years ever since myfreshman year here and nextyear I’m coming back with amindset that I don’t want tolose any more games and justgrind.”
