Baseball Cardinals earn honors

Submitted by MTT News Desk on Wed, 07/03/2013 - 22:26

Middleton’s baseball team had another terrific season.

The Cardinals compiled an 18-7 overall record. Middleton finished in second place in the Big Eight Conference with a 12-6 record. And the Cardinals came within one game of reaching the state tournament.

So it was no surprise that Middleton landed seven players on the all-Big Eight Conference team.

Senior pitcher Brian Lochner, junior second baseman Luke Schafer and junior third baseman Kasey Miller were all named first-team all-conference. Senior pitcher Reese Felton was named second-team all-league, while senior first baseman Tanner Meinholz, senior center fielder Kenji Passini and junior catcher Jackson Keeler were all named honorable-mention all-conference.

Lochner compiled a 5-1 record, threw five complete games and had a stellar 1.91 ERA. Opponents batted just .230 off of Lochner and had an on-base percentage of .297.

The celebration will take place Thursday, July 4 at Pioneer Park  (located corner of W. Old Sauk and Pioneer roads next to the Middleton Town Hall).

The day will begin at 7:30 a.m. with a 5K Run/Walk.

A fire truck parade will follow at  11 a.m. It will begins near Betsy Court and end at Pioneer Park.

Food and an array of festivities at the park will start at 11:30 a.m.

“The last couple of  summers we have really enjoyed celebrating and honoring the fourth of July by staying near home and keeping it simple,” said organizer Melanie Kranz. “Watching the kids in the bike parade, playing games that we played as kids and meeting and chatting with neighbors is a fun way to spend the afternoon.”

It's A Small World

Submitted by MTT News Desk on Wed, 07/03/2013 - 12:48

Editor’s note: The Burmese comprise the vast majority of the peoples in Myanmar, a primarily agrarian society. But the country is populated with more than 120 ethnic groups. After independence from Britain in 1947, and prior to 1962 when the military dictatorship rose to power, Burma functioned as a democracy. After the coup, the country declined into economic and political isolation, impoverished and without basic freedoms. In 1989, the authoritarian government officially changed the name of the country from Burma to Myanmar. Various countries recognize both names.

 

In this 21st century global village, serendipity abounds. How else to explain that a handful of folks from Middleton and Madison are able to directly impact Myanmar, a newly emerging democracy?
