No one could ever accuse
Adrienne Hulburt-Stroud of
dreaming small.
“‘If I build it, they will
come,’ has been my motto,”
Hulburt-Stroud said of her plans
to create a café-cum-commu-
nity center called Common
Ground. It is to be a location in
Middleton, the bubbly Hulburt-
Stroud explained, where
“everyone can find common
ground with those you may
have not otherwise met, and a
building on the southwest cor-
ner of Century Avenue and
Branch Street, a building
known best in the past, perhaps,
for housing the Branch Street
Retreat. She hopes to open
Common Ground early this
year.
Whether special interest
group, service club, for-profit
instructor, or the general public
taking advantage of the ambi-
tious activities calendar, all will
be able to find space in Com-
mon Ground. The moniker re-
flects community development,
but “Common Ground is also a
play on words, coffee grounds.
It hit all those key elements for
me,” Hulburt-Stroud said.
She envisions Common
Ground’s two levels serving as
the locus for a multitude of cus-
tomers: book clubs, writers’
groups for poetry, novel and
creative writing, open mic, spo-
ken word, gallery nights for
local artists, pay-as-you-can
turing drawing, painting, DIY
crafts and jewelry-making. For-
profit instructors would pay a
reservation fee, and community
groups would need to meet a
certain amount of café sales.
“It was never intended that I
do this alone,” Hulburt-Stroud
said, noting that more than 20
people met recently to brain-
storm how best to utilize the
space. She calls those folks
“Common Ground Collabora-
tors,” people in a working part-
nership to launch the vision.
A writer herself, Hulburt-
Stroud said she really enjoys fa-
cilitating and connecting people
over writing. For this reason,
Common Ground will have a
strong emphasis on literature. In
addition, she serves on the
board of the Wisconsin Writers
Association, working with the

T h i s
Christmas
break found
me back in
my birth-
place of
Memphis.
To my aston-
ishment, his-
tory happened that day.
On the night of December 22,
2017, two monuments to lead-
ers of the Southern uprising in
the Civil War were taken down.
You may have heard reference
to these types of these statues
around the country, mostly in
southern states. During the last
election, and during “Tea Party”
rallies, these monuments were
protected and hailed as national
monuments to heroes, historical
treasures, and part of southern
pride. In fact, they were overt
statements of racial suppres-
sion.
In Memphis, one statute was
of Nathan Bedford Forrest, and
there until 1904, 27 years after
his death. He was dug up from
his original cemetery and
moved there. It just so happens
that General Forrest was also a
noted slave trader, and the
Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux
Klan. The image of the KKK’s
original Grand Wizard placed
on a pedestal in highly segre-
gated Memphis was not by hap-
penstance. It was a formal
statement of white rule.
That could be understood, if
not excused, as coming out of
the Civil War and the lingering
tensions between the races, the
war, and ignorance of the time.
But the other statue wasn’t
placed in a Memphis park until
1964, and was none other than
the President of the Confederate
States Jefferson Davis.
1963 is the year of Dr. Martin
Luther King Jr.’s Letter from a
Birmingham Jail, the March on
Washington, and the bombing
of the 16th Street Baptist
the black population. Memphis
was one of the flashpoint of the
60s civil rights struggle, and Dr.
King’s assassination there four
years later after the placement
of the statue spells out the racial
tensions in crimson letters.
But even in 2017, the City of
Memphis couldn’t take down
the statutes. When the city first
discussed whether to take them
down and took the initial step of
changing the names of the
parks, the State government of
Tennessee’s passed a law pro-
hibiting the removal of any
“historical” statue. The mythol-
ogy developed in the South of
the noble confederate warriors
fighting a just war against the
wrongdoings of “Yankee” ag-
gressors, a myth that runs deep
even today. So the City worked
with clever lawyers and con-
verted the parks into “open
spaces”, then sold the open
spaces to a not-for-profit with
an easement requiring ongoing
bold, brash, and certain to invite
a lawsuit and battle with the
State.
But in reading about all of
these machinations and plots, I
was struck by one thing: the
City Council did not come to-
gether until the “Sons of Con-
federate Veterans” (“SCV”)
poured into a council meeting
and “acted like they owned the
place” when the Council was
discussing what to do with the
statues and the controversy
about them. Without seeing it in
person, I am confident that the
spectacle of angry white men
vehemently denouncing the ma-
jority-black Council of a major-
ity-black City did not go over
well. And it spurred the Council
to act unanimously.
There are times when we
must act. Unfortunately it often
takes direct conflict for us to
come together. It is hard to fight
against an inchoate threat — or
multiple creeping dooms. But
what was right.
2018 is the 50th anniversary
of Dr. King’s assassination. His
words still echo in our national
psyche, but we have not yet re-
alized the equality he so desper-
ately sought. We have to be
reminded to break out of our
own busy, cozy lives and stand
up for what is right for all. We
grope towards a more equal
world in fits and spurts. We face
the pressures of everyday life,
and the reactionary fears of
those who feel left behind. But
we must learn to act collec-
tively, working together to
bridge historical inequalities
and inequity, and practice stand-
ing together until it becomes a
habit, a part of who we are as a
community. It will take genera-
tions, but it starts with recogniz-
ing there is still a problem in
this country directly stemming
from the forced slavery of hun-
dreds of millions of Africans,
over a century of segregation
status. We must stop the politi-
cal expediency of rabble rous-
ing and blaming one
community or another. We must
find a way to achieve a common
goal, then work towards that as
one.
It is far past time to embrace
our neighbors, regardless of
background, and start to help
each other be better, to find
peace, and to build security
through community. It is time to
embrace Dr. King’s message
and heal the open and festering
wounds in this country. It is
time to make history.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Citizens are
paying far
too much
“Whenever you find that you
are on the side of the majority,
it is time to pause and reflect.”
-Mark Twain
Times-Tribune readers may
be thinking, not another letter to
editor about Stagecoach Trail
apartments on Century Av-
enue!  However, if the handling
of this development is any indi-
cation of past and future ac-
tions, citizens and taxpayers
need to pay close attention to
the actions of City Staff, Com-
missions, and Common Coun-
cil.
Old news now is that the Plan
Commission on a vote of 5-1
approved a rezoning request for
an overly dense structure
at 6620 Century Avenue despite
massive public for zoning that
would reduce the stress to the
upslope land, nearby wetlands,
vegetation, and the Pheasant
Branch Conservancy.   The
Common Council followed suit
with a vote of 6-2 again despite
well-researched arguments by
taxpayers based on ordinance
and government reports.
Now that all the votes have
been counted, we move on to is-
sues of (a) purchasing parcels
for the construction of a trail
head from the developer of the
Stagecoach Trail apartments
and (b) management of the
storm water produced from the
building and its impervious sur-
faces.
Buying the land to build the
coveted (by some) trailhead at
6612 and 6616-18 Century
Ave.   Plan Staff state the par-
cel’s assessed value is
$342,000.
The seller (JT Klein) expects
$475,000.  The Plan Commis-
sion and the Conservancy
Lands Commission unani-
mously approved the purchase
at the selling price.   The City
Administrator favors the pur-
chase at $475K because it is
close to the expected price
when first considered in 2009,
the seller’s easement on the ad-
jacent recently zoned three
parcels for a future bike path is
worth at least $21K, the seller
will assume the cost of demoli-
tion of the existing structures
(actual cost to the city is un-
known but could be up to
$20K), and it is not likely the
seller will change the price even
if the city tries to
negotiate.  These are not strong
arguments in favor of the full
purchase price.   Wouldn’t ap-
proximately $113,000 go a long
port submitted to WRMC by
Weyser admits that the storm
water cannot be handled. He is
willing to pay a fine in lieu of
compliance. For reasons un-
known, WRMC staff are recom-
mending the building and its
retention basins be built as pro-
posed.
As I wrote in June 2017, City
of Middleton taxpayers are pay-
ing far too much in environ-
mental and monetary costs for
this trailhead (which itself is
likely to produce more traffic
and congestion at Century Ave.
and Branch St. than the Stage-
coach Trail apartments)!
What citizen would pay
30+% over assessed value for
land without negotiation? Why
should the developer not com-
ply with storm water manage-
ment best practices?

Unless you have had your

I am writing to add some
food for thought for everyone
because there is an issue I have
yet to see be addressed. If
everyone wants to continue to
eat, have water to drink and
power up their heat, computers,
cell phones, electric vehicles,
football delivery systems (also
known as big screen TVs), etc.,
then we need to have security
for our power grid. The larger
the power grid, the more diffi-
cult that becomes. Recall that
many people died as a direct re-
sult of the loss of electricity dur-
ing the hurricane season. In our
modern society, most people
have absolutely no clue how to
survive without electricity.
Rather than have large power
grids powered by miles of trans-

Meeting a
Japanese
American
imprisoned
by his own
country
Someone once told me that
being a community journalist
is like receiving a “backstage
pass to life.” I tend to agree,
and it was as a journalist that I
recently got to attend an amaz-
ing presentation by someone
with an amazing story to tell.
Some know him as Katsumi
Neeno. He is a doctor, a veteran,
a father, and a storyteller.
But he had another identity.
A number. It was given when he
and his family were forced into
what he calls a “prison” camp
during World War II. He was
Common

Ground will host events in con-
junction with WWA, she said.
Hulburt-Stroud anticipates a
full activity calendar: morning,
afternoon, evening and week-
ends. The daytime specifically
geared for young families, with
children’s activities focused on
science, art and gross motor
skills, as well as pop-up play-
date opportunities. And for their
parents? Date nights, with
childcare provided onsite.
“I was a stay-at-home parent
for five years; went a little stir
crazy,” Hulburt-Stroud said.
She has lined up preschool
teachers to watch kids, legal as
long as parents stay on the
premises.
Although she didn’t know it
at the time, the inception of

“GIs came up holding rifles
… that was no evacuation, that
was imprisonment,” he told a
large audience during a recent
presentation.
Neeno was 17 when he,
along with thousands of other
Japanese Americans, were
rounded up and taken to these
camps. It happened when Pres-
ident Franklin Delano Roo-
sevelt signed executive order
10-99, and many years later it
was ruled unconstitutional. In
1991, President George H. W.
Bush issued a formal apology
for the “serious injustices” done
to Japanese Americans during
World War II.
Neeno said it’s not quite the
same message he heard from
the United States government
when he was relocated.
“A Jap is a Jap,” General

ern Defense Command, report-
edly said to a subcommittee of

Common Ground occurred
when Hulburt-Stroud searched
to no avail to join a local group
for writers. There wasn’t one.
So, in the summer of 2014 she
founded the meetup Madison
West Writers Group, which now
has more than 1,000 members.
“I realized I liked bringing
people together, and I’m good
at organizing,” she said. As
leader, Hulburt-Stroud had trou-
ble locating affordable, flexible,
year-round meeting space in
Middleton, or indeed, on the
West Side.
“I’m basically creating my
dream place,” Hulburt-Stroud
stated. Paramount to that is a
welcoming vibe and movable
furniture, ensuring appropriate
arrangements for whatever the
activity. The upper level will be
dedicated to larger events, while
the lower level holds the café, a
community dining table—fea-
turing icebreaking activities in-
tended to encourage
conversation amongst
strangers—lounge seating, high
backed chairs near a fireplace,
nooks for reading and a stage.
Hulburt-Stroud has musi-
cians interested in performing
jazz, blues and classical music;
“nice, ambient brunch music,”
she said. In keeping with the
theme of commonality and fam-
ily fun, she plans to offer
themed brunches for discounted

mittee as American citizens of
Japanese descent were rounded
up and sent to remote “Evacua-
tion Camps” in places including
Arkansas and California. “It
makes no difference whether he
is an American citizen or not.”
Neeno, who was 17 when he
was stripped of his citizenship
and taken away, tells his own
story with a surprising amount
of humor. He takes issue with
the term “evacuation” as an in-
accurate euphemism, however.
“[DeWitt] called them relo-
cation camps,” Neeno said, re-
membering barbed wire fences
and gun towers that loomed
over his family. “I call them
prisons.”
Neeno talked about the
United States’ complicated rela-
tionship with its Japanese in-
habitants, the experience of
being stripped of his citizen-
ship, cracking codes for the
U.S. Army, and coming to Wis-
consin, where he studied and
became a doctor.
He also gave some back-
ground on the United States’
complicated relationship with
its Japanese inhabitants. From
1641 to 1853, the Tokugawa
shogunate of Japan enforced a
policy which it called kaikin.
The policy prohibited foreign
contact with most outside coun-
tries, and cloaked Japan in mys-
tery in the eyes of westerners.
dresses up in silly costumes, or
the same color.”
The dining aspect of the en-
terprise will be “delicious diner
meets cozy café,” Hulburt-
Stroud said. It will feature
goods delivered from Monona
Bakery, (owned by the family of
Common Ground chef Cory
Tope), meat sourced from Con-
scious Carnivore, coffee by Just
Coffee and tea sourced from
Milwaukee. Her liquor li-
cense—for wine, local craft
beer and cocktails— is in the
pipeline, set for an early Janu-
ary final approval.
Hulburt-Stroud’s experience
with her children’s food aller-
gies motivates her to cater to
those with dietary restrictions,
noting how difficult it can be to
eat out. One case will be dedi-
cated to gluten free baked
goods, as well as breakfast
sandwiches, and gluten free
pancakes.
While brainstorming with
Topel to simply create a health-
ier version of pancake, he
mixed up a “really good rice
flour pancake; you can’t tell it’s
gluten free—that was a bonus!”
Hulburt-Stroud said.
Hulburt-Stroud worked for
over a year, researching, laying
legal groundwork, and search-

location,” Hulburt-Stroud ex-

Here in the United States,
Japanese residents found them-
selves in a kind of identity
limbo, “not citizens, but not
aliens” for years. They were not
free, but not slaves, he said.
It was not until 1952 that
Neeno’s parents gained citizen-
ship. But Neeno was a citizen
before he was taken to the en-
campment. He says he did not
fully regain his citizenship until
1976.
Neeno gave his account of
the curfew, the travel ban, and
the encampment where he and
his family were taken. The en-
campments – the one in which
Neeno was kept near the Ari-
zona California border had an
estimated 20,000 people in it –
were located far from the white
population, in what Neeno de-
scribed as some of the “most
godforsaken” portions of the
country. Places like Arkansas
and the Arizona desert. There,
Neeno said Japanese Ameri-
cans, not allowed to leave,
bought essential items they
needed from catalogues, and
were forced to use shared la-
trines that proved traumatic for
female residents. When Neeno’s
camp was eventually closed,
each person was given $25 and
a one-way ticket to the location
of their choice. Neeno said in
many cases, their homes and
businesses were long gone.

Hulburt-Stroud is guided by
commonality, accessibility and
inclusivity, but currently only
the lower level is wheelchair ac-

is “killing” her, preventing

$100,000 to put in an elevator,

wheelchair maneuverability.

Some burned to the ground.
“Many ran into beatings,” he
said of Japanese Americans try-
ing to re-enter society.
Neeno’s parents, who their
new American employers in-
sisted on calling “Bob” and
“Mary” rather than their Japan-
ese names, swallowed their
pride and worked to support
their children and save money
for tuition. They put their time
in the camp behind them and fo-
cused on their children’s future.
They succeeded, and now, as he
prepares to celebrate his 92nd
birthday later this month, Neeno
is telling the story.
While telling his tale Neeno’s
eyes glimmered, sometimes
with a mirthful glint (he made
the audience laugh several
times), and sometimes with
something far more melan-
choly. But he says he was never
bitter about his experience.
“I was a 17-year-old kid,” he
explains, suggesting that youth
served as a shield against the in-
dignity of the experience.
The story does not end when
the camps closed. Nor does it
end when the war was over.
Neeno and many of his fellow
Japanese Americans did suc-
cessfully re-enter society. He
went to the University of Wis-
consin because he was assigned
there and not all schools were
open to him. Under the admin-

Carter, a federal commission
convened and ruled that the in-

gal. Those who were held in
them were later paid reparations
thanks to a bill signed when
Ronald Regan was in office.
Shortly after taking office, Pres-
ident George H. W. Bush issued
a formal apology.
Neeno joked that these later
developments brought to mind
a famous quote attributed to
Winston Churchill: “Americans
can always be counted on to do
the right thing - after they have
exhausted all other possibili-
ties.”
But those who expected the
grim account of Neeno’s time in
the camp to be capped off with
anti-American sentiments were
surely disappointed. Because he
ended his story with a patriotic
sentiment.
“I’m not Japanese,” said
Neeno, who is preparing to cel-
ebrate his birthday on Hal-
loween. “I’m an American. It’s
very difficult to explain why.”
Jerry Hook, a veteran and
area American Legion com-
mander, took the opportunity to
thank Neeno for his service to
the United States.
“I want to thank you for serv-
ing our country, when our coun-
try did such wrong to you,”
Hook stated.

Photography by the Orchid
Grower’s Guild of Madison
Our current show features
photographs taken by amateur
photographers who are mem-
bers of the Orchid Grower’s
Guild of Madison. This exhibit

Sex and the Singular Or-
chid
In conjunction with the show,
Jeff Baylis, Guild member and
former UW professor, will be at
the library on Monday, January
22nd at 6:30 PM to talk about
Sex and the Singular Or-
chid. With more than 24,000
recognized species, the orchid
family is one of the largest fam-
ilies of flowering plants. Of in-
terest to biologists is that most
orchids have an unusual mating
system which drives orchid spe-
ciation and helps explain the
often bizarre, showy and long-
lasting flowers. In this talk Jeff
will explore the defining char-
acteristics of orchids and ex-
plore their mating system. This
program is free and open to the
public. Please call 798-3881 to

Religion
a fear even, to speak about good
and evil,” Heilman says.
He believes that if good and
evil go unmentioned, evil gains
the upper hand.
“Satan … is more powerful
and effective under cloak of
darkness,” he continues. “Under
camouflage.”
Sitting at his desk, a few feet
from a confessional window he
had installed in the door to his
office so that local Catholics
may confess their sins, “Father
Rick” Heilman is remembering
the day, 20 years ago, when he
had “one of those aha mo-
ments.” He had already been a
Catholic priest for a decade
when he attended a papal Mass
given by Pope John Paul II at
St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome.
There, he found his senses, and
his soul, inundated by the
liturgy, the music, and the “sa-
cred beauty” all around him.
While his gentle Bernese
mountain dog, Lady, slumbers
just outside the door, in their
living quarters behind St.
Mary’s Church in Pine Bluff, he
thinks back and says it was a
pivotal moment for his faith,
and for his theology. It was in
that crucible that that the kind of
spiritual leader he would be was
galvanized.
“While I already had a very
strong love for the Holy Eu-
charist, it was then it became a
deep reverence,” he explains.
“And in that moment, I had a
sense of where the battle lines
were drawn. I became acutely
aware that this is a war on the
Lawsuit
quired wind turbines to halt the
flow of generated electricity to
the distribution grid when the
grid experienced drastic drops
in voltage. AMSC had an au-
tomation engineer in an Aus-
trian subsidiary work on a
solution Chinese code de-
manded. However, the engineer,
Dejan Karabasevic, was dis-
gruntled after reorganization of
the subsidiary that employed
him. Karabasevic also was
going through a bitter divorce
and Sinovel recognized an op-
portunity to get him to betray
AMSC, O’Shea said.
Sinovel offered to double his
annual salary to $1.7 million if
he could bring the source codes
for the software that controlled
the AMSC components Sinovel
purchased. If it was able to
replicate the AMSC’s software
it would no longer need to pur-
chase it, said O’Shea.
“Getting those source codes
would unlock secrets that
Sinovel was not entitled to,”
O’Shea said.
At the time, Sinovel owed
AMSC $108 million for prod-
ucts shipped, said O’Shea.
While still working in Austria
for an AMSC subsidiary,
Karabasevic downloaded the
desired source codes from an
AMSC computer server in Mid-
dleton and send it to Sinovel’s
Research and Development Di-
rector Su Liying in Beijing,
O’Shea said.
Email and Skype messages
between Karabasevic and Su
(Chinese surnames are listed
before given names) showed
that Sinovel wanted AMSC’s
software adapted for their use,
supernatural that we are fight-
ing.”
Heilman says modern Chris-
tianity lost its way during the
mid-part of the 20th century,
and that it ironically lost some
of its appeal by trying too hard
to appeal to everyone. He be-
lieves people want their religion
to give them answers about suf-
fering, sin, and salvation. They
don’t want platitudes, he says;
they want tough talk about the
eternal nature of God’s love,
and the terrifying perils of a life
lived apart from Him.
An attempt to make Christ’s
message all things to all people
caused “souls to flee,” he con-
tends.
“Culture has become more
secularized,” he laments. He
goes on to say there is a de-
creased “sense of seriousness of
faith.”
The numbers might support
Heilman’s hypothesis, because
as many world religions found
themselves shrinking, branches
of Islam with the boldest
proclamations about good and
evil, and God’s will, grew at an
astounding rate.
That’s why he says his
church, despite being located in
a miniscule rural hamlet, has
seen its ranks grow in leaps and
bounds in recent years.
“You go into a church like St.
Mary’s, and you start to whisper
because you sense you are in
the presence of God,” he says.
“I try to help my flock be part
of this momentum back to the
supernatural.”
O’Shea said.
Karabasevic resigned from
AMSC in May 2011, but under
Austrian law was considered on
leave and on the payroll until
June 30, 2011. Telling his em-
ployer that his taking a vacation
in May, Karabasevic instead
traveled to Beijing at Sinovel’s
request to adapt the stolen soft-
ware to Sinovel’s turbine prod-
ucts. He modified the software
to eliminate the encryption and
disable the time limits it could
be used without a customer pur-
chasing a user license.
Sinovel refused to pay the
$108 million it owed AMSC,
refused acceptance of other
shipped components valued at
$79 million and cancelled con-
tracts valued in excess of $400
million that AMSC had already
begun working on O’Shea said.
The revenue loss was “devas-
tating” to AMSC, said O’Shea.
The company closed its Middle-
ton plant on Murphy Dr. at the
end of 2013 and laid off about
140 employees.
Its reported market value
dropped from $1.6 billion to
$200 million.
AMSC alerted Austrian au-
thorities about Karabasevic’s
possible betrayal and he was ar-
rested upon his return to the
country. They searched his
apartment in Austria, and
AMSC was able to search the
luxury apartment Sinovel rented
for him in Beijing. Between the
two locations five laptop com-
puters or hard drives were
found showing that Karabasevic
had downloaded the software he
wasn’t authorized to access,
adapt it for Sinovel’s use and

“People are longing for more
sense of the sacred,” he says.
“For more blunt talk about good
and evil.”
There was never much in the
way of vocational doubt, for
Heilman. He grew up with par-
ents who were “strong leaders,”
and by the time he was a young
man, he was well on his way to
becoming a priest. Big and
strong, he was an All-State foot-
ball player, but he always felt
drawn to the priesthood.
“By the grace of God, it be-
came stronger and stronger,” he
says. “In 1983, when I was 21,
I declared to my parents that I
wanted to go into the seminary.”
“I’ve never regretted a day,”
he continues. “Do I look at fam-
ilies with beautiful children and
wonder? Sure. But it’s a matter
of two really good choices, and
this is the one I chose.”
In more than three decades as
a Catholic priest, Heilman says
he has come to better under-
stand the “war” between good
and evil, and the stakes. He
feels the spiritual teeth of many
modern Christians were rotted
by what he calls “candy” reli-
gion; that they were lured in by
broad individualism that places
more emphasis on the individ-
ual than on God or humanity as
a whole.
“Ecumenism … is great,” he
says, “but we shouldn’t rid our-
selves of the things that make us
Catholic.”
“An extreme example of this
was the gutting out of our beau-
tiful churches,” he says. “I be-
send it to them, O’Shea said
during his 90-minute opening
statement.
Sinovel then used the stolen
software in four turbines it sold
to customers in Massachusetts,
O’Shea said.
Sinovel’s attorney, Jeffrey
Tsai, did not dispute that
Karabasevic took AMSC soft-
ware and gave it to Sinovel, but
it was not at Sinovel’s insis-
tence.
“The evidence will show that
(the government’s case) is just a
lot of wind,” Tsai said.
Also, the evidence will be
about Karabasevic’s action’s
not Sinovel’s employees, he
added.
Sinovel was dependent on
AMSC making its turbines
work and complying with the
code changes taking effect in
2011. However, AMSC would
have to pay the cost to retrofit
its existing components and as
a result was slow to devise a so-
lution, Tsai said.
Sinovel had no criminal in-
tent to take intellectual property
it did not own, it just wanted it
turbines to work or they would
be shut down if they couldn’t
comply with the new code, he
said.
Karabasevic was a “super-
star” who knew wind turbines
and Sinovel tried to recruit him
2009, but couldn’t because his
AMSC contract had a no-com-
pete clause.
Sinovel made a “business
mistake” not a criminal act in
contracting with Karabasevic.
They gave him a contract
falsely stating he was working
for another Sinovel supplier in
lieve the intentions were good,
to remove obstacles, but [there
were unintended conse-
quences].”
Heilman says the beautiful
works of art that defined
Catholicism for many years are
more than just trinkets; they are
“beautiful jewels in the treasure
chest that is the Catholic
Church.”
“I’ve made a lot of efforts,
pastorally, with teaching, to re-
cover the sacred, to recover the
great traditions of our faith,” he
says.
That means those who wor-
ship at St. Mary’s do so in ways
not substantively different than
in the Middle Ages. They kneel
“at the edge of heaven” in the
Sanctus Santorum. The Mass is
oriented toward the East. The
priest and the people face God
together, and there are Latin, as
well as English, services.
It’s all part of a deep rever-
ence for which people are
yearning, says Heilman.
“I believe in the gift of awe
and wonder,” he says. “Classi-
cally, what was called for was a
fear of the Lord. That means a
fear of offending the one you
love and respect so much. I be-
lieve that’s a key for entry [into
heaven].”
“Obedience,” he adds, “is ev-
idence of love.”
Heilman’s theological writ-
ing is filled with militaristic lan-
guage. After all, he points out,
this is a war for souls.
“I admit that there is a
Devil,” he explains.
an attempt to circumvent his no-
compete status, Tsai said.
Tsai even disputed that
Sinovel received software
source code from Karabasevic
instead calling them binary
codes, which only machines can
decipher.
Also, the information
Karabasevic gave Sinovel were
not trade secrets as defined by
law, Tasi said. AMSC did not
take reasonable steps to keep
Heilman said the philosophy
and imagery he uses are de-
signed to avoid something he
sees as bad parenting.
“What’s the quintessential
bad parent? A friend. I think
there have been a lot of bad par-
ents, as Christian leaders, over
the past 50 years, and I think
we’ve got a lot of spoiled chil-
dren,” he states.
He hears priests telling their
followers that God’s message
can be whatever they want it to
be. He hears the message that,
no matter how you live your life
– whether you cheat or steal or
lie – you will ultimately be
saved.
“You hear people being told
they’ll go to heaven, no matter
what they do,” he muses.
“But in places, and I count
my evangelical brothers among
us, where we are willing to talk
about good and evil, in a ro-
bustly supernatural way, we are
seeing growth,” he says. “I
think that across the world, peo-
ple have had their fill of candy
Christianity.”
Heilman contends that some
things are morally good, and
some are morally corrosive. He
says for much of Christian his-
tory, that wasn’t exactly a radi-
cal idea.
“You can discern what’s
good and not good in the mod-
ern era,” he says. “Smart
phones are great, but there is a
scourge of pornography be-
cause of them. That’s bad.”
Heilman says he wants to
harness technology for good.
the information secret, many
AMSC employees could access
the codes Karabasevic down-
loaded from the server in Mid-
dleton. Also, the solution
Karabasevic came up with was
relatively well known within
the industry.
Sinovel is charged as a cor-
poration and no individual and
had no representative involved
in the case on trial which is ex-
pected to last three weeks.

That’s why, for instance, he de-
veloped an application that al-
lows people to see, in real time,
when he is available for confes-
sion.
He warns of what Benedict
called the “dictatorship of moral
relativism.” He preaches that
Satan’s plan of attack is to sec-
ularize society to the point at
which actual meanings cease to
exist.
Heilman’s hard line on reli-
gion, for all its tough talk,
comes from a place of love, he
says. He “panics” when he sees
people disconnected from God,
worrying they will become
“devil fodder.”
And beneath it all, there is a
message of hope, he adds.
“When you choose to leave
God, when you choose to of-
fend Him, you’ve left,” he says.
“But you are always welcome
back.”
And that choice, he contin-
ues, is key. The choice to help
others. The choice to lead a
moral life. The choice, in the
end, to go to Heaven.
“Otherwise, we’re robots,”
he says. “You have to choose to
love.”
That’s important to remem-
ber, because the world is not
made purely of candy, he says.
People will be called, people
will be tested, and people will
suffer.
“Some of the most amazing
people in the world go through
suffering,” he says. But, he con-
cludes, God will be there to help
them through it.

If convicted, Sinovel faces
maximum penalties of five
years on probation a fine of
more twice the $800 million
loss alleged in the case.
Sinovel, its technology man-
ager, Zhao Haichun, Su and
Karabasevic were indicted here
in June 2013 with theft of trade
secrets, conspiracy to steal trade
secrets and wire fraud, but the
charges against the individuals
have since been dismissed.

Boys basketball team heating up
Middleton
topples
Arrowhead
BY ROB REISCHEL
MILWAUKEE — Kevin
Times-Tribune
Bavery faces a quandary every
season.
Middleton’s boys basketball
coach has just four non-confer-
ence games to work with each
year. And after playing 18
games in the demanding Big
Eight Conference, Bavery toys
with the idea of scheduling
lesser opponents to boost the
Cardinals’ record and give his
team an occasional break.
Inevitably, though, Bavery
resists that urge and tries put-
ting together the most demand-
ing schedule possible for his
team. Bavery’s belief is those
games better prepare a team for
the postseason than scheduling
softer foes.
Middleton’s latest match-up
on murderer’s row came
Saturday, when the Cardinals
met defending WIAA Division
1 state runner-up Hartland
Arrowhead. Senior forward
Brogan Brunker had a game-
high 18 points and the
Cardinals notched an extreme-
ly impressive 58-55 win over
Arrowhead in a game played at
the Al McGuire Center.
The Cardinals improved to
6-5 overall and are 5-3 in the

The numbers weren’t quite
what Kari Steck was hoping
for.
But Middleton’s girls gym-
nastics coach understands it’s a
long season. And if history is
an indicator, things should only
get better.
Middleton finished in third
place in the White Division at
last Saturday’s seven-team
Mount Horeb Invitational.
Whitefish Bay won the title
with a team score of 137.775,
while Sun Prairie (132.825)
and Middleton (131.275)
rounded out the top three.
“It’s a long season, and I
would be concerned if we were
at our peak this early in the
year,” Steck said. “The girls are
all adding in new skills and
we’re working to increase scor-
ing potential and start values.
We’re in a good spot right now,
and I’m excited to see what the
Sam Close and Middleton’s boys basketball team rolled to a pair of wins last week.
rest of the season brings.”
Middleton junior Karina
Sabol had a big day, finishing
first on the balance beam
(8.925) and second on the floor
exercise (9.625). Cardinals jun-
ior Jordan Baggot was fourth
on the vault (8.925) and senior
Chloe Young was fifth on the
balance beam (8.30).
In addition, Baggot was
10th on the floor exercise
(8.550), Young was 12th and
freshman Taylor Englekes was

The Cardinals took care of
business in their first game of

game losing streak for the
Cardinals. Those three losses
came against teams with a
combined 21-5 record.
“This game is one we need-
ed,” Middleton coach Kevin
Bavery said. “We were 4-3 in
the league (coming in), with a
lot of close games on both
ends. We’ve been able to han-
dle a couple of opponents that
we felt we were a little bit bet-
ter than. I think a lot of that was
the case tonight.”
Middleton’s 78 points was
its second-highest point total of
the season. Displaying great
roster balance and depth, the
Cardinals shot 30-of-52 from
the field (57.6%), 9-of-26 on
three-pointers (34.6%), and

But Cards still
have a lot of
work to do
BY ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
Right now, they’re notching
victories.
Style points? Well, that’s
another story.
Middleton’s girls basketball
team edged Madison La
Follette, 56-49, in double over-
time last Thursday. The
Cardinals followed that with a
69-38 win over Beloit
Memorial last Saturday.
Middleton has now won
four straight games, improved
to 5-3 in the Big Eight
Conference and is 7-5 overall.
But Cardinals head coach Jeff
Kind knows his team has a lot
of growing and improving to
do if it hopes to tackle a daunt-
ing schedule in the second half
of the year.
“We’ve won some games,
which has been a positive,”
Kind said. “But they’ve been
far from pretty. Turnovers con-
tinue to plague us, many of
them unforced.”
Middleton snuck out a win
against the Lancers despite
committing 26 turnovers and
allowing 24 offensive
rebounds.
“That’s 50 extra opportuni-
ties for them to score,” Kind
said.
Charlotte Dunn made 7-of-8
free throws down the stretch,
and the Cardinals got 10 points
from both sophomore forward
Karina Bursac and sophomore
guard Evie Coleman.
In the Cardinals’ win over
Beloit, Haley Dunn had the
best offensive game of her
career and finished with 18
points. Sophomore forward

Sitori Tanin added 10 points.
Middleton raced to a 34-12
halftime lead and stretched that
to 40-14 early in the second
half. The Cardinals hit a dry
spell during the second half,
but closed the game strong.
“We did finish with a good
run in the last few minutes,”
Kind said. “We do some good
things at times, but must learn
to be consistently strong with
the ball, consistent on the
boards and solid defensively to
compete with the stronger
teams.”

Friday at 7:30 p.m.
“We’ll be tested with East

Wrestlers third at Baraboo Invite
BY ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
Middleton’s wrestlers fin-
ished fourth at the seven-team
Baraboo Classic last Saturday.
Baraboo won the meet with
175.5 points, while Edgerton
was second with 166.5. Tomah
(165.5), Middleton (127.0) and
Portage (113.5) rounded out
the top five.
Cardinals junior Kevin
Meicher finished first, winning
all four of his matches on the
day.
Meicher received an open-
ing round bye, then pinned
Braydon Scarborough of
Baraboo in 3:47. Meicher then
pinned Sam Beffa of Hamilton
in 1:12, pinned Travis Von
Haden of Tomah in 2:59 and
pinned Trevor Wilkinson of
Edgerton in 3:27.
“He’s fine tuning things,”
Middleton coach Kent Weiler
said of Meicher. “We’re start-
ing to see things from him that
we didn’t see at the end of last
year. He’s fine pointing the lit-
tle things and pushing himself
even harder.”
Senior Jacob Helmuth
(145), junior Elliot Zanon
(170) and senior Dion Huff
(195) all notched second place
finishes.
Helmuth opened with an 8-7
win over Malaki Ringelstetter
of Baraboo, then fell to Josh
Reindl of Hamilton, 23-12.
Helmuth then pinned Hunter
Reilly of Edgerton in 1:20 and
lost to Dylan Casey of Portage,
5-4.
Helmuth didn’t start
wrestling until his sophomore
year, and has made enormous
strides since.
“He beat kids on Saturday
that he wouldn’t have beat at
the start of the year,” Weiler
said. “He’s continuing to learn
and get better.”
Zanon dropped his opening
match to Caleb Porter of
Baraboo, 12-10, then pinned
Seth Carlson of Tomah in 4:41.
Zanon then pinned Connor
Sinks of Hamilton in 1:54 and
pinned Trevor Evans of
Edgerton in 44 seconds. Then
in his final match, Tyler Hach
of Riverdale defeated Zanon,
13-0.
“It’s really starting to click
for (Zanon),” Weiler said.

Thursday.
Middleton is now 8-7-1 this
season.
Edgewood raced to a 4-0 lead
early in the second period.
Middleton then got second peri-

Bryce Schuster, and Bo
Bergenthal scored at the 11:33
mark of the third period to pull
the Cardinals within 4-3.
But Middleton couldn’t score
again and fell just short.
The Cardinals were then tied

Huff opened by pinning

Hericks of Tomah in 5:34. Huff
pinned Tyler Bavery of
Edgerton in 1:02 and pinned
Jonah Stout of Portage in 1:10.
In the fifth round, though,
Caleb Johnson of Riverdale
defeated Huff, 5-1.
“He’s wrestling fabulous,”
Weiler said of Huff. “Dion’s
only losses have come to

for him right now.”
Middleton also got third
