Chiaverini's Latest Looks At Lincoln Family Through Dressmaker's Eyes

Submitted by MTT News Desk on Mon, 01/14/2013 - 09:49

Middleton resident and New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Chiaverini departs from her Elm Creek Quilts series to debut her first stand-alone novel, “Mrs. Lincoln’s Dressmaker” (Dutton; January 15, 2013). 

The book unveils the private lives of the Lincolns from the time of their rise to White House glory, through the President’s shocking assassination and its tumultuous aftermath, until the end of Mary Todd Lincoln’s troubled life - all told from the perspective of the First Lady’s most trusted confidante and friend, her dressmaker Elizabeth Keckley.

Chiaverini is the author of the Elm Creek Quilts series, as well as five collections of quilt projects inspired by the novels. She is a graduate of the University of Notre Dame and the University of Chicago.

The Lincolns have been immortalized in countless works, but Keckley’s story has really been told only once - and that was in her own controversial memoir, published in 1868.

Gun Pulled on Middleton Man in Road Rage Incident

Submitted by MTT News Desk on Fri, 01/11/2013 - 14:10

A local man, caught up in West Beltline rush hour traffic Wednesday morning, ended up the victim of road rage as another motorist pulled out a handgun and tried to cut the 48-year old Middleton man off, according to an incident report released by Madison Police.

According to the report, the victim said the other driver – who was directly behind him - became angry after he slowed down in an eastbound lane. The Middleton man was doing so because he could see traffic ahead had stopped. The angry man tailgated the victim before quickly switching lanes and pulling alongside the victim, according to the victim’s account.

That is when Middleton man could see the other driver was displaying the weapon. Next, the victim says the other driver pulled in front of him and slammed on the brakes. The victim went hard on his brakes as well, to avoid a collision.

Gun Resolution, Authored By Middleton Supervisor, Gains Approval

Submitted by MTT News Desk on Fri, 01/11/2013 - 13:57

The Dane County Board on Thursday, Jan. 10 approved Resolution 206, calling for President Obama, the United States Congress and the Wisconsin legislature to enact a list of measures intended to curb gun violence.

The board approved the resolution, which was introduced by Supervisor Sharon Corrigan (District 26, Middleton) and co-sponsored by 27 supervisors, by a margin of 29-2.

Supporters said the resolution is part of an effort to counterbalance the National Rifle Association’s political sway. It calls for action to curb access to certain kinds of firearms and to reduce the number of guns in the hands of criminals “in order to decrease the number and impact of mass shootings in the United States.”

Those who voted against it said the non-binding resolution won’t do anything to prevent future tragedies.

Some supervisors abstained from voting, saying state and federal gun laws fall well outside the jurisdiction of the Dane County Board of Supervisors.

Memorial stuns Middleton

Submitted by MTT News Desk on Fri, 01/11/2013 - 13:03

The Streak was over. Finally. Or so it seemed.

Middleton’s student body stormed the floor at Madison Memorial. The Cardinals’ boys basketball team celebrated. The coaching staff was giddy.

Then, in a flash, it all went poof.

Middleton led Madison Memorial, 60-59, as the clock expired Thursday night. But referees ruled that Spartans coach Steve Collins called timeout with 2 seconds left.

Memorial’s Jester Weah inbounded from three-quarters court and hit Shareef Smith racing down the right sideline. Smith took one dribble, pulled up from 22-feet and drained a three-pointer as the horn sounded.

Madison Memorial 62, Middleton 60.

“It’s unbelievable,” said Cardinals junior guard Derek Rongstad, who led all scorers with 18 points. “We thought it was done. I still can’t believe it.”

Paint Store Gives to MOM

Submitted by MTT News Desk on Fri, 01/11/2013 - 10:56

Hallman/Lindsay Paints donated more than $5,500 to local food pantries across Wisconsin in honor of its customers during this past holiday season. In each community where Hallman/Lindsay has a store location, including the City of Middleton, a local food pantry received a donation.

“As a local Wisconsin business, we are a part of the community,” says Tim Mielcarek, owner of Hallman/Lindsay. “We consider it part of Hallman/Lindsay’s mission to contribute to the places where we live and work.”

In December, John DeVries, manager of the Hallman/Lindsay store in Middleton, met with Debbie Kutchin from Middleton Outreach Ministry to deliver the company donation.

“Food prices continue to rise, and we know that food pantries are also continuing to see increases in demand,” said DeVries. “Middleton Outreach Ministry provides much-needed assistance in this community, and we are happy to support their work.”
