A Middleton alder is embroiled in alegal battle with her landlord, and theoutcome of the dispute could deter-mine whether she is able to retain herseat on the city council.

Ald. Miriam Share (Dist. 1) has fileda complaint in Dane County CircuitCourt alleging that 7781 Elmwood Av-enue Associates, LLC, is trying to evicther in retaliation for notifying the citybuilding inspector about code viola-tions at the property. Share is seekinga judgment that her eviction in unlaw-ful. She is also requesting an injunctionto prevent her from being removedfrom the property and damages.

7781 Elmwood Avenue Associateshas filed its own complaint. While the

company did not return a call for com-ment, court documents indicate 7781Elmwood Avenue Associates is seek-ing to remove Share from her ValenciaPlace apartment. The landlord has alsorequested back rent and an extra mon-etary penalty from her.

Said lease terminated on June 30,2014, but defendant has refused to va-cate premises, the landlords com-plaint states, and is now a holdovertenant. Defendant is liable for twice thedaily rent due under said lease.

Shares complaint indicates she re-ceived a letter on March 10 with anoffer to renew her old lease beginningon July 1.

dents of our community.Parisi had instructed county depart-

ment heads to fund operations at cur-rent levels with no additional spending.According to the county executive,CARPCs proposal would unilaterallytake nearly $600,000 from othercounty departments.

Perhaps the commissioners whovoted for this 80 percent levy increasecould also suggest which departmentswe should now de-fund to pay for yoursuggested increase in CARPCsbudget: Child Protective Services, 911,Highway? Parisi wrote. Should wede-fund the newly established non-mandated school mental health crisisteams the county is funding in Verona,Sun Prairie and Madison?

The Dane County Board three dayslater voted approved a resolution back-ing Parisis position, with supporters ofthe measure saying it was their onlyway to stop a budget change that wouldrob vital funding from other depart-ments.

The countys position is that[CARPC] should follow the sameguidelines as every other department,said county board chair Sharon Corri-gan of Middleton. This would takemoney from other departments.

Corrigan said she is well awaremoney is tight and budgeting requireshard choices.

You know, every department canmake an argument for why its under-funded, she said. The budget processeach year is tough.

The county boards resolution meansthe matter will either head to arbitra-tion or the courts.

Unless CARPC opts to back down,that is.

I would request and strongly rec-ommend that the commission meet inemergency session to rescind your ac-tions of last Thursday and submit aproposal that aligns with the law aswell as the fiscal realities with whichwe all must deal, including levy limitsand decreasing state and federal re-sources, wrote Parisi.

Those who support CARPCs fund-ing request said the organization,which is in charge of reviewing appli-cations for water and sewer extensionsfrom developers that could impactwater quality, has been chronically un-derfunded for years.

Middleton mayor Kurt Sonnentag,who resigned from the CARPC boardlast year, has for years contended theorganization does not have enoughfunding to perform its work.

[T]he financial situation at CARPChas been deteriorating for years and thecommission will soon run out ofmoney, said Sonnentag. A bold movewas needed and I was encouraged by

the CARPC vote.! The additionalmoney for which the commissionvoted is but a mere drop of water in thecounty budget bucket and reflects whatthe commission absolutely needs toperform the work it is required to do.

Joe Ball, a retired DNR water qual-ity biologist who now serves on theTown of Blue Mounds Plan Commis-sion and the CARPC board, said the

groups work is important and deservesadequate funding.

Its the only agency that does anyreal future planning in Dane County,Ball said. Its looking ahead to protectour water quality.

[CARPC] has been underfundedfor a long time, Ball continued. Itsgotten to the point where commission-ers have decided to forgo payments be-

cause there simply isnt enoughmoney.

Starting this year, CARPC institutedadditional fees which, charged duringthe application process, were supposedto help cover its funding shortfall. Butthe fee revenue is separate from thebudget increase that so incensed thecounty executive.

It is time for the county board andthe county executive to recognize andunderstand what CARPC is all aboutand fund its basic needs, said Sonnen-tag. If they dont want to do that, thenI suggest that the county bow out of re-gional planning and let the cities, vil-lages and towns take on thisresponsibility, including the taxing au-thority.

CARPCs vote may have also givenammunition to its longstanding critics.

Tim Roehl, a realtor who sits on theMiddleton Town Board and is vicepresident of the Dane County TownsAssociation, said CARPCs budgetwas a definite thumb in the eye, inyour face vote.

The main thing CARPC is sup-posed to do is discuss and vote onurban service amendments, saidRoehl. This year they have a total offour going before them.

Roehl said delays of as much as sixmonths between the time those appli-cations are filed, and the time CARPCissues a decision, are hindering the re-gions economy.

This is real estate 101 you neednew construction inventory as an en-gine to drive your economy, he said.With no new construction, theres noengine to pull the train. CARPC isholding up that train.

CARPC was created in 2007 withan executive order issued by then-Governor James Doyle. The commis-sion is composed of 13 commissionersappointed by the mayor of the City ofMadison (four), the Dane County ex-ecutive (three), the Dane County Citiesand Villages Association (three), andthe Dane County Towns Association(three).

CARPCs budget cannot be vetoedby the county executive and does notneed to be approved by the full countyboard.

Producemarketcloses

The Middleton Produce Market willclose, according to a press release is-sued by Innovation Kitchens founderand CEO Rick Terrien last week.

The markets site, across from theMarriott on John Q. Hammonds Drive,was intended to be a temporary loca-tion to let the operation get started be-fore a permanent spot was ready indowntown Middleton.

The downtown spot was initially of-fered to the market, by city staff, as alocation that would be easily availablefor Middleton residents to buy freshproduce at an outdoor market on adaily basis.

But the proposal to utilize the city-owned former Middleton OutreachMinistry headquarters site on HubbardAvenue was voted down by the Mid-dleton Common Council last month.

We had plans in place for thedowntown market to offer partnershipsto the library and other downtownbusinesses to help bring a new vi-brancy to downtown Middleton, saidTerrien. We saw a downtown marketas supporting Middleton residents andlocal businesses with great Wisconsin-grown produce. We had support fromthe mayor, city administrator and staff.Unfortunately, the offer made to us wasvoted down.

Weve tried hard to promote themarket site across from the Marriott,he continued. Unfortunately, this tem-porary site was not a consumer-friendly location. After finding that wewere not able to build traffic at this sitewe have decided to close the Middle-ton Market.

Terrien said he is grateful to themanagement of the Marriott MadisonWest for its support.

They have been most generous insharing their space with us, and wewish them the very best, he said. Weare especially grateful to the many newcustomers and friends we made whileserving Middleton and the area.

As our customers from the Marriottsite know, we brought great, regionallygrown produce to the Middleton mar-ket, he concluded. We buy mostlyfrom Wisconsin family farms, and thiswas another great opportunity for peo-ple in Middleton to support local agri-culture in our area.

The Middleton Common Councilhad invited Terrien to bring the pro-posal back for a second consideration,but Terrien declined.

concerns regarding the safety andmaintenance of the building to theattention of property management.Share alleged that the heat went outon multiple occasions during the win-ter, water service was interruptedmultiple times, and she and other ten-ants became trapped in a broken ele-vator in which there was not afunctional emergency call box.

She also shared with property man-agement a photo of an anonymousnote posted in the building, warningprospective tenants not to live there.Joe Krupp, a representative for Elm-wood Avenue Associates, then wroteto Share that he would take appro-priate actions when he learned theidentity of the notes author.

Share responded by pointing outthat landlords are prohibited understate law from retaliating againstrenters.

Shares complaint alleges that afterthe buildings management failed toremedy all of the problems she

brought to their attention, she con-tacted the citys building inspector,Scott Ellarson, with a list of com-plaints about her unit, the commonareas and other renters units. Thoseneighbors are also her constituents.

Ellarson visited the property andfound three code violations. Ellarsonalso mandated a maintenance plan forthe elevator in which Share said sheand other residents had becometrapped.

On May 19, three days after con-tacting Ellarson, Share received a let-ter from Prime Urban Properties, thebuildings management company, re-scinding her lease renewal offer. Shesubmitted her renewal anyway, but itwas declined and the security depositwas returned to her.

Share must reside within the citys1st Aldermanic District in order tokeep her seat on the Middleton Com-mon Council.

Share declined to comment on thedispute.

of taking advantage of people with dis-abilities, Schraeder said to the coun-cil.! I was saddened to hear thatbecause I know no person of highercharacter and caring for people withdisabilities than Rick.

It was not just the content of the dis-

cussion that prompted a response; VanNutt, executive director of the Middle-ton Chamber of Commerce, said hewas uncomfortable with hostile tone ofthe meeting at which the produce mar-ket was voted down.

I have been coming to council

meetings for roughly 11 years and Iwas a little concerned about the tenorof the last council meeting, said Nutt.It is difficult for people to address theall empowered body and I just askmoving forward, regardless of gooddays or bad days for an individual, you

represent the city.! I hope that wewould give every speaker every oppor-tunity to share as best they can theirstory and what they are trying to do.We are not always going to agree witheach other and love the projects thatcome before but hopefully we can con-

tinue to be the good neighbor city andbe respectful.

Schraeder explained to the councilthat Terriens proposal had no directconnection to compensation for peoplewith disabilities.! Terrien, a privatebusiness owner, wanted to establish adowntown tented produce market thatwould promote donating vendorsabundant or over-ripened produce tothe Hodan Centers Wisconsin Innova-tion Kitchen operation.! The HodanCenter is a rehabilitation center foradults with disabilities.! They offer em-ployment, food, transportation, andsenior day services, as well educationand training and operate five retail/re-sale stores in southwest Wisconsin. !

The Wisconsin Innovation Kitchen(WINK) is a food processing centerand catering service.! The kitchenopened up four years ago.! It is ownedand operated by the Hodan Center.The 10,000 square foot facility in IowaCounty specializes in jams, pickles andrelishes, dry soup mixes, baking mixesand dips. !

Innovation Kitchens is an LLC thatpartners with WINK and regionalfarmers and producers for business de-velopment.! Though the proposal to thecity did not lay out a specific target forthe amount it would be able to donateor the number of jobs for people withdisabilities may be created, Schraedervowed that Terrien would be doingmore good than harm.

Our center is in a rural area whereit is often very hard to find jobs forfolks, but our center has placed morepeople with competitive jobs in thecommunity than any other agency insouthwest Wisconsin, Schraedernoted.! While we do that we still havea number of folks that we cannot findthe jobs for.! We will never stop look-ing for that job at minimum wage andabove.! Not everybody is able to workat the productivity level businesseswant.

Schraeder says the only other optionfor those who cant meet the marketsdemand for productivity is to do noth-ing at all.! He added that he would lovean invite from the council to comeback and explain the details of howthey determine a compensatory wage.Many with disabilities receive assis-tance through social security.! Since thebenefits have income restrictions, com-pensatory wages are partly influencedby avoiding cuts to assistance. !

Over 80 percent of people with dis-abilities have no jobs, so anything wecan do to help them needs to be doneand the last thing we need to do is fighteach other ablaut that job not beinggood enough, Schraeder said to thecouncil.! All jobs are important, alljobs are valued and we have to do morefor the people with disabilities that arepart of our lives and our community.

Alders brought up other variousconcerns that ultimately led to thecouncil denying the request, though thehigh tension and accusations at the be-ginning of the discussion could haveset a mood.! Other concerns were thefairness of the deal - why Terrienwould get a $1 lease over any othervendor - added traffic and parked vehi-cles, possible damage to the grass, andthe loss of green/open space.!

From a council perspective wewere given very little information onthe proposal, we asked some very dif-ficult questions to be answered in ashort amount of time, said ald. HansHilbert. Unfortunately those answerswere not there.! I dont think it was thecouncils position to take the idea andthrow it away but at that time we didnthave the information we needed tomake that decision.

Hilbert said he would encourage themayor and city staff to get the detailslaid out and it may still be possible ei-ther tis summer or next.! Schraeder toldthe council the deal was no longer vi-able for Terrien and that he has movedon.

Kim Laufenberg, 24, of Middleton,has been accepted into the Peace Corpsand was scheduled to depart forNamibia on Monday of this week tobegin training as an education volun-teer.

Laufenberg will live and work at thecommunity level to make a differenceteaching math to secondary students.She will also have the opportunity toengage in other activities with herschool and community.

The code of ethics Peace Corpsstands by initially motivated me toapply, Laufenberg said. Then, seeingthe impact the Peace Corps has, notonly on other people but also on thevolunteers themselves, compelled meto accept a position.

Laufenberg is the daughter of Fredand Mary Laufenberg of Waunakee.She attended the University of Wiscon-sinPlatteville in Platteville, Wis.,where she earned a bachelors in envi-ronmental engineering with minors inmathematics and renewable energy in2014.

At UWPlatteville, she was a mem-ber of the womens rugby team, out-door recreation staff, residence hallassociation and Global Amigos in ad-dition to teaching yoga and studyingabroad in New Zealand.

Kim brightens every social situa-tion she engages in, said Laufenbergsfriend, Andrew Hansen, of Albu-querque, N. M. Her positive attitude,love of people and farm-girl work ethicare inspiring.!Shes like a little power-house of good cheer. Id be sad to seeher go if I wasnt so happy for all of thepeople she will impact in Namibia.

During the first three months of herservice, Laufenberg will live with a

host family in Namibia to learn thelocal language and integrate into thelocal culture. After acquiring the lan-guage and cultural skills that will helpher make a lasting difference, Laufen-berg will be sworn into service and as-signed to a community in Namibiawhere she will serve for two years.

Laufenberg will work in cooperationwith the local people and partner or-ganizations on sustainable, commu-nity-based development projects thatimprove the lives of people in Namibiaand help Laufenberg develop leader-ship, technical and cross-cultural skillsthat will give her a competitive edgewhen she returns home. Peace Corpsvolunteers return from service asglobal citizens well-positioned for pro-

fessional opportunities in todaysglobal job market.

I want to be challenged, and I maybe truly uncomfortable at times. Yet, Iwill take away so much more and de-velop new skills to handle a variety ofsituations that I otherwise may havenever encountered, Laufenberg said.Professionally, I want to apply my en-gineering skills to better the place Illbe living and truly help the peoplethere.

Laufenberg joins the 213 Wisconsinresidents currently serving in the PeaceCorps. More than 5,846 Wisconsin res-idents have served as volunteers sincethe agency was created in 1961.

Land for SaleEven in my childhood, I had an ap-

preciation for public lands. The blockthat my house was situated on in Ap-pleton held a public park, just walkingdistance from my house.

All I had to do was to cut throughmy neighbors backyard to get to thevacant field that was adjacent to a pub-lic playground. It was heavily used bythe local children.

We chased butterflies and grasshop-pers in the field, creeping slowly uponone or the other with a garbage can lidin our hands. When we were closeenough, wed toss the lid on the poor,unsuspecting creatures.

Then, we laid on our stomachs andpeeked with one eye, lifting the lid, justenough to squeeze our hand beneath itto grab the critter. For a little whilewed keep them in peanut butter jarswith plenty of holes in the lid.

In the winter, the field was floodedand became the gathering place forhockey games and crack-the-whip.

At age ten, I was allowed to play inthe ravine across Packard Street. Theravine was ringed by steep hills thatheld trails, rocks and wildflowers.

The steepest hill was closest to theroad. People drove from other neigh-borhoods In the winter for the speedysled rides. When the right kind ofsnow fell, we built moguls half waydown the hill.

When we were old enough to bikearound town, we went from one parkto another trying out the different play-ground equipment or exploring thecreeks and hillsides.

During the summer after eighthgrade, my friends and I set our sites onPlamann County Park, about six milesfrom my house. It took a bit of con-vincing, but our mothers finally let usgo.

In 1969 we cycled through farmlandto get there. Plamann Park had a smallpicnic area, but was mostly woods atthat time. There was a pond, too. Wecaught frogs and tadpoles, getting ourtennis shoes soaked in the endeavor.

In high school, my friends and I dis-covered High Cliff State Park. Wedrove out in May to see the lake flyhatch and later in the summer to swimand hike.

I went to public hunting lands withmy high school boyfriend and hisbrother. I didnt carry a gun, but Ilearned about grouse, the habits of deerand other wild animals and birds thatlived there.

Its on those public lands that I ex-plored and fell in love with nature. Itswhere I felt free from the everydayconstraints and noise of life in the city.

My parents didnt own our ownhome. We didnt have a car. But bybeing a citizen of the city of Appleton,Outagamie County and the State ofWisconsin, I was part owner and hadaccess to the city, county and stateparks and hunting land that every citi-zen is entitled to share.

No wonder I am dismayed that themajority of Wisconsins current legis-lators have slashed the conservationbudget and have directed the DNR tosell 10,000 acres of our public lands.

This is a grievous move in the wrongdirection for our state, its wildlife and

citizens.I cant explain it better than that

Wisconsin League of ConservationVoters says it on their website:

Since its creation in 1989, theKnowles-Nelson Stewardship Programhas protected some of the most beauti-ful and diverse land and waters in Wis-consin places where we hunt, hike,fish and canoe. Named after two Wis-consin Governors who led the way inconservation Republican WarrenKnowles and Democrat Gaylord Nel-son the Stewardship Program has al-ways enjoyed overwhelming supportfrom voters of all political stripes. In abipartisan poll conducted by The Na-ture Conservancy, nearly 90% of Wis-consin voters agree that even in tightfiscal times this program should be apriority.

Until very recently, the StewardshipProgram also enjoyed sweeping sup-port from legislators across the politi-cal spectrum. However, in just the pasttwo years, support has declined insidethe Capitol.

There are legislators now working toslash the Stewardship Programsbudget and sell off its land to privateowners. In the 2013-2015 state budget,legislators reduced overall funding ofthe Stewardship Program by $63 mil-lion over the next six years, diverted$14 million for fish hatchery develop-ment, and directed the DNR to sell atleast 10,000 acres in the next fouryears. Among voters, widespread sup-port for the program continues while asense of shock and outrage that deci-sion makers have gone so far afield isbeginning to emerge.

In 1900, after Interstate Park wascreated as Wisconsins first state park,John Nolen, was hired to search forother suitable sites. He raised a ques-tions to state officials and citizens thatneeds to be raised today:

The issue appears plain. Is Wiscon-

sin going to look upon its bays and lakeshores, its rivers and bluffs, its dells, itsinland lakes, its forests, as natural re-sources to be conserved and some por-tion at least acquired and held for thebenefit of all the people both for pres-ent and future generations? Is the Stateto display foresight and act in time inthis important matter, recognizing andproviding for the increase of popula-tion?

Legislators of that time heard androse to the challenge. John Nolens re-port created the vision and rationaleand set the criteria for state land pur-chases. It also included the preserva-tion of places of scientific or historicalsignificance and provided public ac-cess for all people. His report clearlystated the economic value of investingin public lands.

Wind and the Pillows

Hurricanes used to be like holidays.We would sit around, comforted bypiles of batteries, canned goods, can-dles and board games, as the windpummeled the boarded up windows onour elderly but stalwart New Englandhome.

I used to imagine we were survivorsof a zombie plague on those howlingnights, when the flicker of the candlesdanced coyly with our retinas. My dadwas our leader. My little sister wasthere to use as a decoy if any of the un-dead smashed through the door.

Then I grew up. A few weeks after Imoved into a college dorm in northernFlorida, I walked out onto the balconyand noticed a puzzling scene. Everyoneseemed to be going camping. Everyoneexcept me.

Squinting down, I saw cars filled tothe point of explosion with backpacksand food, filing out of the dormitorysparking lot.

Hhmm, I thought casually, greet-ing befuddlement like the old friend itis. I should probably find out whatsgoing on.

Heading downstairs to the commonarea (I didnt have a television), I sawa small group of people huddled

around the TV, their eyes wide as thoseof an old cartoon character. They werewatching a radar image of a swirlingrainbow of hazardous colors headed di-rectly toward Florida. The hurricane, Ithought to myself with a touch ofalarm, looked to be about the size ofRussia.

Its name was Floyd, and accordingto a subsequent National HurricaneCenter report it was a monster. Thestorm !produced a flood disaster ofimmense proportions in the easternUnited States, according to the center.

On the bottom of the televisionscreen was a single word, scrollingover and over again: Evacuate!

I strolled, in the slightly jerky man-ner of someone trying to stay coolunder great emotional duress, back upto my room. In the few minutes Idbeen gone, my roommate, who I sud-denly suspected was The Flash ormaybe some kind of wizard, had gath-ered all his belongings and fled.

The storm was troubling, yes, but sowas the fact that, with all my room-mates stuff gone, I realized I owned agrand total of seven things.

Am I poor? I suddenly asked my-self when I realized I didnt possessshampoo, socks or even pillows for mybed.

A cursory inventory of my room re-vealed I also had zero batteries, noradio, nothing that even resembled a

board game, and one very forlornscented candle, which had mysteri-ously appeared in our bathroom a fewdays earlier.!

I also did not have a car, or even abicycle. It hadnt seemed vital when Iplanned my move to St. Augustine.

Its Florida, I had thought to my-self with a shrug. Getting around willliterally be a walk on the beach.

I hadnt envisioned a scenario inwhich I was forced to flee on foot froman angry Poseidon.

My nearest relative lived in Massa-chusetts, and I had focused all my en-ergy during my first few weeks incollege on aggravating my professors,rather than making friends my ownage.

I tossed things around in my room,primarily beer funnels and music CDsmixed in with the odd textbook,!look-ing for something useful. The best Icould come up with was a rubbery oldbagel and a half-eaten jar of peanutbutter. I hadnt purchased either ofthem, but I felt comfortable claimingthem since I was probably going to dieand would therefore never face theconsequences.

Our school, which was once a hotelfor the uber-wealthy, was gorgeous - anocher and white assortment of Spanish-influenced spires and terraces, dappledwith verdant palm trees.

My dorm, however, was a later ad-dition to the campus. It was the realiza-tion of an architect whose sole desirehad clearly been to make people feelvaguely trapped inside grey, institu-tional facilities where even cinderblocks were considered garish.

I wasnt keen on hanging out thereon bright, sunny days while I was alive.I certainly didnt want it to become mytomb, despite the fact that it already

looked like one.Unsure what to do, I dragged a

cooler full of cheap beer down to thenearly empty parking lot. Perched atopit, I pondered my next move carefully,like a champion chess player whoseking is perilously close to running outof places to flee.

A shaggy-haired surfer, wearing aBoston Red Sox cap, a blue and whitetank top and flip-flops that made himsound like a horse trotting on cobble-stones, strode across the lot. He wasfollowed by a rag-tag mob of what ap-peared to be groggy, vaguely dude-ishrefugees.

I looked more closely and recog-nized something: they were people likeme. Each carrying one or two itemsand nothing else. One guy simply hada collapsible lawn chair. Another, I no-ticed with a twinge of envy, was carry-ing a pillow.

As they piled into a rusty Volkswa-gen bus, someone I vaguely recognizedfrom English Literature 101 stuck hishead out.

Matt, right?I nodded.Get in!I stood up and started walking to-

ward the vehicle, but was quicklyturned back by much hand waving andyelling.

Bring that! they yelled in the per-fect unison of a well-trained choir,pointing at the bulky cooler.

We made our way inland for thenext 12 hours. We were joined bynearly every resident of coastalFlorida, a fact that significantly slowedour pace.

We spent most of our time idling ordriving at a leisurely pace of about 15miles per hour. The decrepit bus over-heated when not in motion, so we were

eventually forced to turn the engine offduring lengthy stops. Eventually, fear-ing we might run out of gasoline andbe stranded on the side of the Floridainterstate - a place that is decidedly thedomain of serial killers, rogue alliga-tors and insects bigger than both ofthem - we decided to simply push thevan on the downhill stretches.

Crashing on the floor of a cigarette-scented Tallahassee motel room thatnight, I chatted with my fellow travel-ers and gazed up at a little TV screen.On it, CNN was recapping the desper-ate evacuation attempts of Floridasweird, sleeve-hating population.

As you can see, the newscastersaid with palpable excitement, peopleare doing whatever it takes to get outof the storms path.

An overhead image popped intoview on the fuzzy television. Takenfrom a helicopter, it showed a motleyassortment of young men, wearing flip-flops, shorts and sunburns. They werepushing a rusty van down a gridlockedstretch of highway.

It looked like the beginning to apretty decent movie about the zombieapocalypse.!

Its, stuttered a voice fromsomewhere else in the motel room.Its us!

There were 57 deaths directly attrib-uted to Hurricane Floyd. Most, accord-ing to the National Hurricane Center,were due to drowning in freshwaterflooding. It was the deadliest hurricanein the United States since Agnes of1972, causing $1.325 billion in dam-age.

But I was spared. Since I didnt re-ally own anything, it didnt even costme much. And it made me famous,even if only a small handful of guys ina smelly hotel room knew it.

Middleton familys treehouse featured on Animal Planet

A Middleton family will appear inthe Friday, July 25 episode of AnimalPlanets television show, TreehouseMasters.

Treehouse Masters follows world-renowned treehouse builder Pete Nel-son as he travels across the countrybuilding the ultimate treehouses for hisvarious clientele. The show has been ahit with viewers who dream of havinga treehouse of their own, according toa statement issued by the channelspublicity department.

That dream came true for Brad andDiane Duesler, who were overjoyed tohave their backyard transformed intoan art-inspired studio as a gift fromtheir three children.

Placed in a mystical collection ofblack and white oak trees, the tree-house serves as an inspiring, collabo-rative space for the family of artists toget their creative juices flowing and

it also happens to be built in the spotwhere the Dueslers were married 35years ago.

The two-story, 13-foot high studio isfueled by solar power and has no inter-net or cell phone reception in order toprovide the family with a peacefulspace to focus on their art.

Complete with a painting easel,sewing machine, sleeping loft, drawingworkspace, music studio and a wallcovered in lush, living flowers andmoss, the space is perfect for all thedifferent artists in the family to worktogether.

With their family history in mind,there is even an enormous wall madeentirely of antique 100-year-old win-dows found in the Dueslers 1920farmhouse.

The episode is slated to air on!Fri-day, July 25 at 9 p.m. CST.

MEA did not file for recertificationand as a result lost its status as theteachers legal representative.! At thelast board of education meeting, theboard and district administration dis-cussed what role the union will nowhave in the employer-employee rela-tionship.

MEA will not be the legal repre-sentative of the teachers for the 14-15school year, it does not mean theydont exist, it doesnt mean they are notan organization or a union, it doesntmean they cannot represent the teach-ers, superintendent Don Johnson clar-

ified.! It simply means that legallythey cant represent (the teachers) interms of negotiating base wages orother official representative functionsthat they might serve in.

Johnson said MEA is still a unionand that they could get certified nextyear if they file to do so by the end ofAugust.! If a union is certified ratherthan recertified, it is subject to differentelection requirements under Act 10.Certification for a union maintains theprevious requirement of 50 percentplus one of all votes. !

move forward working with the MEAand also working with the teachers isto establish communications, Greensaid at the board meeting.! He lookedto the audience asking if anyone fromMEA was present.! After a moment ofsilence. he stated, I am disappointedthat we are discussing issues which are

germane to the teachers and the MEAand they are not here.

Jeff Schafer has a passion for base-ball that has grown with the passage oftime.

While many of his peers have longsince abandoned playing the game theylove, the 49-year-old Schafer is inspir-ing a new generation of Middletonplayers beginning right at home.

The left-hander Schafer and right-hander Drew Farrell combined on afive-hit shutout to lead Middleton to a9-0 victory over Lodi in a Home TalentLeague Northern Section Eastern Divi-sion amateur baseball game on Sunday.

Kevin Dubler went 4-for-4 and Far-rell was 3-for-4 to pace the 29ers (14-1) who finished with 12 hits againstLodi (2-13).

But what made Sundays victoryeven more memorable was Schafer ful-filling a life-long dream of playingwith his son, Luke, a second basemanand Middleton graduate, who will be awalk-on at the University of Iowa thisfall.

Its pretty special. The games beenso good to me. I had my education paidfor. I traveled around the world andplayed professionally. I just love it somuch. You just hope the younger kidsappreciate it as much as you do,Schafer said.

Schafer, an Iowa graduate, allowedjust three hits with no walks in 7 1/3 in-nings and left the game to a standingovation by the hometown crowd.

To go out when [Luke is] comingin is super special as a parent, JeffSchafer said. Hopefully he takes the

baton and loves the game like dad did.Like father, like son, Luke Schafer

did his part to make it a day to remem-ber for the 29ers as well as the Schaferfamily. Luke singled and had a sacri-fice in four plate appearances whilefinishing with four assists and twoputouts on defense.

Jeff Schafer also got a rare plate ap-pearance to go along with his stellar ef-fort on the mound.

I put aside the fact hes my dadwhen Im out there and it was a verywell-pitched game, very sharp. As afielder, you love it because hes gotcommand with no walks. That wasawesome, Luke said.

As my dad, it was just incrediblethat over the years Ive been watchinghim and he been coaching me andwatching me and I had an opportunityto start behind him today and performas well as he did and be able to watchthat. It was definitely special.

Middleton, which defeated Lodi 15-4 in 8 innings on June 15 in the teamsfirst meeting, extended its winningstreak to 13 games. The Eastern Divi-sion champion 29ers close out the reg-ular season at Ashton on Sunday.

But while the Schafer father-son duoaccomplished a feat few families areable to share the Albion starting fa-ther and son duo of Jim and Josh East-man come to mind it was business asusual for the 29ers, who moved withina game of earning home-field advan-tage throughout the playoffs.

We talked today that were onegame closer to home-field advantageall the way through until the FinalFour, if we get there, Middleton man-ager Brandon Hellenbrand said. We

have our division wrapped up. Werein first place no matter what but wewant the overall No. 1 seed and unlessSauk loses a game we have to win out.Were going to go after it.

That mind-set was evident from thefirst batter when Schafer went 0-2 onLodi lead-off hitter Kyle Clapper enroute to retiring the Royals in order inthe first inning, the first of five timeshe accomplished the feat while throw-ing just 81 pitches during a masterfulouting.

Every week he brings the love forthe game and it keeps guys playing,Hellenbrand said of Schafer. I thinkthat is why a lot of us are still out hereplaying because we see a guy like Jeffwhos at his age and hes able to stilldo it. It keeps a lot of us of going aswell.

Schafer improved on his previousstart against Lodi when he earned thevictory after pitching 5 1/3 innings andallowing one earned run on eight hitsand one walk.

I threw different against them thanI did last time because my arm didntfeel real good the last time. I was work-ing away, away, away, said Schafer,who continually got ahead of the Lodihitters and didnt allow a runner pastsecond base. My arm felt goodenough today that I could work awayand work in with my fastballs. Thatsjust harder to hit when you cant belooking for balls in a certain spot andthen getting them in. Thats why therewere so many balls hit to the left side.

Schafer induced 11 ground ball outs,including six to the left-side of the in-field. Only one of the three hits he al-lowed Trent Schneiders lead-offsingle to left in the second inning leftthe infield.

I was able to locate fastballs awayand then bust curve balls in. With thefastball away, they tend to roll over onthat outside pitch. So after a lot of fast-balls when you come in with a curve-ball theyre thinking away and the ballcomes in and jams them, Schafer said.

Its always important when I pitchthat third base and shortstop have goodgames because theyre going to get alot of action over there in ground balls.AJ [Redders] and Cookie [Cole Cook]played fantastic defense.

Middleton grabbed a 1-0 lead in thesecond inning when Redders and Cookdrew back-to-back walks, LukeSchafer followed with a sacrifice andScott Brabender delivered a sacrificefly to left field.

Farrell singled in a run and Dublerfollowed with a two-run single to ex-tend Middletons lead to 4-0 in thefourth inning.

Josh Hinson then made it 6-0 in thesixth inning with a two-run single.

Meanwhile Lodi was able to musterjust three baserunners against Schafer.

I think this is [20] innings withoutscoring a run on Sundays. Were hittingthe ball hard. We just cant string an in-ning together right now, Lodi man-ager Shane Clapper said. [Schafer]did a great job. He did a great job thefirst time against us. He kept us incheck, too.

Farrell, who started in right field, re-
