folk tunes and jazz make up rock's record collection. now he likes bob [preble]'s classical stuff too.

"Our taste in music was poles apart when we first met. I grew up with classical stuff, and never appreciated folk tunes or western ballads until Rock and I merged our record collections. Now he'll pick up a Brahms album, listen to it for a while and then interrupt my siege with the newspaper. "Hey," he says, "this Brahms boy was all right!" - Bob Preble for Photoplay Magazine, '52.

Rescuing this big boy has been a journey!! The humane society of Preble County had him for 2-3 weeks. They had him neutered which is great, but it was a botched procedure (they didn’t tell us, just said it was a little red), but upon adopting him found out he has a groin and skin infection that will require so much treatment and if it fails, could leave him requiring a 2000 dollar surgery. His body was left covered in mats, filth, and stench, but we adopted a third doodle now as Bocephus (Bo for short) really needed help and a family 🥺💞 so we have started trimming him down at home, and he is a truly happy and goofy guy who is just thankful we’ve relieved some of the discomfort he was experiencing. Fingers crossed from here on out he acclimates and his infection heals fast!! 😭

"Preble's Boys" by Mark Karvon, link.

"In the late 18th century, merchant shipping of the early United States was plagued by Barbary pirate raids. After years of trouble, the United States commissioned six frigates to be built for the new navy. The USS Constitution carried 44 guns or more. The ship was a powerful presence being well armed and armored yet was fast enough to outrun the larger ships of the line.

In 1803, Commodore Edward Preble, with the Constitution as his flagship, led a squadron of ships in the Mediterranean Sea against the Barbary States. On September 6, near the Rock of Gibraltar, USS Constitution encountered an unknown ship in the dark. With men at general quarters, Constitution ran along side of the other ship. Preble hailed the ship but only received a hail in return. Identifying himself as the United States frigate Constitution, he received the same question again from the unknown ship. Losing his patience, Preble said: 'I am now going to hail you for the last time. If a proper answer is not returned, I will fire a shot into you.' The unknown ship replied, 'If you give me a shot, I'll give you a broadside.' Once more, Preble demanded an answer, to which he received, "This is His Britannic Majesty's ship Donegal, 84 guns, Sir Richard Strachan, an English commodore," with a command to "Send your boat on board." Preble, his patience now exhausted, exclaimed, "This is United States ship Constitution, 44 guns, Edward Preble, an American commodore, who will be damned before he sends his boat on board of any vessel." And then to his gun crews: "Blow your matches, boys!" Before the incident escalated further, a boat arrived from the other ship and a British lieutenant relayed his captain's apologies.

The mystery ship was not actually the Donegal but in fact HMS Maidstone, a 32-gun frigate. Preble had come alongside her so quietly that the Maidstone had delayed answering with the proper hail while she readied her guns. This encounter became the start of the strong allegiance between Preble and the officers under his command. (They became known as "Preble's boys".) He had shown that he was willing to defy a presumed ship of the line.

This print depicts USS Constitution as she appeared during her 1803 Mediterranean patrol. She still retains her original Hercules figurehead and is shown in the company of USS Argus (16 guns) and USS Nautilus (12 guns).

Prints are available through my website, www.markkarvon.net."

You Interview The Monkees from Monkee Spectacular (August 1968)

This month's guest interviewer is Jean Artt of Preble, Indiana, age 15.

Mike

1. What is your motto?

"Save the Texas Prairie Chicken," of course!

2. What type of boy do you want Christian to become?

I hope he learns all he can as early as he can and then applies it to good means. I hope he is a free-thinking individual and a leader in his time.

3. What do you think of the Monkees show that was shot in Paris? It was different from the others you've done.

I was delighted with that show...

Haunted Hillside Dorm Southern, Maine

An old building located off the campus of SMCC–Southern Maine Community College–was used up until recently as a resident hall for students that attend this college.

Hillside Dorm is located at the corner of Preble and Broadway in South Portland, Maine.

This building is now up for sale. The reason for this might be that this structure is haunted.

This fact is not surprising when one considers the history of this old structure. At various times it was used as a brothel, nursing home and a funeral home.

To add to the creepiness the building sits near the Old Settlers Cemetery.

This varied history brings confusion for no one has been able to pinpoint the era or eras that this haunting represents.

Former residents of Hillside share some disturbing and even scary experiences they had while living in this dorm.

The buildings’ attic–where the door is always padlocked shut– is where a lot of the strange activity was centered.

On a daily basis, sounds were heard coming from this area. Maintenance workers feeling it might be a critter unlocked the padlock and placed an animal trap just inside the door.

Complaints about the sounds continued and when they returned they discovered human footprints in the dust leading to the trap from the other side of the room. The door had remained locked and no one had been in the attic.

One apparition that has been seen in Hillside is that of a young boy. His ghost was considered to be annoying and a trickster.

Student bedspreads were often found bundled on the floor–these students would wake up cold. They also discovered their windows had been thrown open in the bitterly cold winter months.

This child ghost was fond of moving items around in the various resident rooms. One positive attribute this ghost exhibited was he would often make the resident’s beds.

Another entity seen in Hillside is that of an old lady. One Maine paranormal team that investigated the dorm picked up this ghost’s voice on several EVPs.

One witness to this activity was a man who was hired by the college to be a security officer. He was also an RA at Hillside Dorm and lived in the building from 1997-99.

The fan in his room would turn on and off without reasonable explanation and he like the rest of the residents often heard noises of movement coming from the locked attic.

He saw lights going on and off in the building when no one was around.

This often occurred in one 2nd floor bathroom. When he would go to investigate he saw the door to this room shut, he would also hear the toilet flush but on closer inspection he found the 2nd floor was deserted.

He hated doing laundry because every time he would go to the basement where the machines were– all the light bulbs would blow out.

He also heard disembodied whispers throughout the building.

Over time he became more and more frustrated because his investigations of this unusual activity always left him without a discernible cause.

He mentioned that it was a relief when he finally moved out of Hillside Dorm.

He moved away from Maine and 10 years later while visiting South Portland he stated that just driving by this building still “creeped him out.”

2021 WIAA state boys golf tournament: Rob Hernandez's Division 1 sectional preview, predictions | WIAA Boys

Wisconsin.Golf’s Rob Hernandez sizes up the WIAA Division 1 boys sectional golf tournaments being contested across the state this week. The top two teams in each sectional advance to next week’s state tournament, along with the top three golfers not on those teams. The Division 1 state championships are scheduled for June 14-15 at Wild Rock Golf Club.

WAUSAU EAST SECTIONAL

TEAM QUALIFIERS REGIONAL SCORE STATE BERTHS LAST Antigo 355 3 1985 D.C. Everest (Schofield) 337 4 1991 Eau Claire Memorial 290 49 2019 Hudson 299 3 2019 New Richmond 311 22 2001 River Falls 305 16 2018 Stevens Point 338 27 2016 Wausau West 352 4 2007 INDIVIDUAL QUALIFIERS REGIONAL SCORE Jaxon Bulgrin, Marshfield 85 Carter Cygan, Wausau East 79 Jamin Dufree, Superior 79 Brett Elkin, Chippewa Falls 71 Koldyn Gechas, Rhinelander 81 Andrew Henrichs, Rhinelander 89 Matt Nault, Superior 77 Andrew Rude, Superior 77

When, where: 9 a.m. Tuesday at Greenwood Hills CC-Wausau, par 72.

That was then (in 2019): Hudson senior Charley Chase and sophomore Bennett Swavely shot matching 76s at New Richmond Golf Course as the Raiders shot 316 and edged Big Rivers Conference rival Eau Claire Memorial (320) to win the 2019 WIAA Division 1 New Richmond sectional. New Richmond sophomore Owen Covey shot 71 to slip past eventual state champion Russell Dettmering of Merrill by one shot for medalist honors. Stevens Point senior Evan Thomas joined Covey and Dettmering in qualifying for the state tournament at University Ridge GC in Madison. Covey and Swavely were the top performers among golfers currently competing in the 2021 high school season.

This is now (in 2021): There is nothing like a 290 to get people’s attention and that’s exactly what Eau Claire Memorial did last week in winning the WIAA Division 1 Superior regional at Nemadji GC in Superior. Freshman Will Schlitz shot 4-under-par 68, one of just three sub-70 rounds in the state, to edge Hudson senior Bennett Swavely, a University of Minnesota recruit, by one shot for medalist honors as the Old Abes outscored Hudson 290-299 for the team title. History would suggest that it will be a much different story on the scoreboard at Greenwood Hills, which last played host to a sectional in 2011 when Hudson (323) knocked off Superior (336) and Eau Claire North (339) for the team title. Memorial, the Big Rivers Conference champion, has a freshman (Schlitz) and two sophomores (Ben Christensen and Parker Etzel), for whom this sectional will be their first. Could that open the door for Hudson, which has three seniors in its starting five with one of them a tournament veteran in Swavely. Much like Memorial and Hudson dueled in the Big Rivers, Stevens Point and Wausau West went back-and-forth in finishing 1-2 in the Wisconsin Valley Conference only to finish second and third, respectively, behind D.C. Everest (Schofield) at the Everest regional at Wausau CC. On paper, none of the three WVC favorites have the scoring punch of Eau Claire Memorial and Hudson, but that may not be as important if the sectional plays out the way Leg 5 of the WVC tournament series did May 14, when Stevens Point (346) outlasted Wausau West (348) and D.C. Everest (352) for team honors in a high-scoring affair on the challenging Greenwood Hills layout.

Projected state team qualifiers: Hudson, Eau Claire Memorial.

Projected state individual qualifiers: Logan Pechinski, Stevens Point; Carter Cygan, Wausau East; Owen Covey, New Richmond.

NOTRE DAME (GREEN BAY) SECTIONAL

TEAM QUALIFIERS REGIONAL SCORE STATE BERTHS LAST Appleton North 345 3 2001 Appleton West 352 4 2003 Ashwaubenon 330 3 2008 Bay Port 342 7 2019 De Pere 316 6 2015 Green Bay Preble 340 15 2010 Notre Dame (Green Bay) 317 15 2018 West De Pere 325 3 2004 INDIVIDUAL QUALIFIERS REGIONAL SCORE Aiden Cudney, Kimberly 82 Sam Knapp, Kaukauna 87 Kaden Marcell, Shawano 81 Jake Prestigiacomo, Appleton East 87 Quinn Process, Pulaski 81 Connor Schaefer, Hortonville 89 Lucas te Plate, Shawano 86 Aaron Tonn, Pulaski 86

When, where: 9 a.m. Wednesday at Thornberry Creek at Oneida GC, par 72.

That was then (in 2019): Kaukauna’s dynamic senior duo of Tyler Cleaves (74) and Brock Hlinak (75) paved the way, but fellow seniors Zachary Klingseisen (76) and Reis Schweiner (77) weren’t too shabby, either, as the Galloping Ghosts fired a 302 and rolled to the Notre Dame (Green Bay) sectional at Thornberry Creek at Oneida GC. Bay Port (319) edged host Notre Dame (Green Bay) by one shot for the second state berth behind junior Preston Cedergren, who shared medalist honors with Appleton East senior Ben Gilkay and Cleaves. Gilkay, Green Bay Preble senior Cole Hanke (75) and Green Bay Southwest senior Trent Thomas (75) earned the individual state tournament berths. Appleton West sophomore Austin Georger, who lost to birdies from Hanke and Thomas on the second playoff hole for the last two berths, shot 75 and was the top finisher among current high school golfers.

This is now (in 2021): It must be the WIAA postseason because sectional host Notre Dame (Green Bay) turned in one of its finest performances of the season last week in winning the Ashwaubenon regional at Brown County GC in Oneida. Junior Ryan Darling had a lot to do with that, firing a 1-under 71 to earn medalist honors by seven strokes and help the Tritons (317) roll past Fox River Classic Conference rival Ashwaubenon (330) for the title. Lost, perhaps, in Darling’s work up front was the fact Notre Dame had all five golfers shoot 85 or better on a tough layout. Two years ago Notre Dame packed its four scoring golfers between 78 and 84 only to fall one shot shy of Bay Port in its bid for a 16th state tournament berth. This year, De Pere figures to be the team the Tritons and everyone else will be chasing. The FRCC overall champion Redbirds looked strong at its own regional at Ledgeview GC in De Pere with seniors Ben Busick (78) and Grady Coppo (79), junior Sam Mehlberg (79) and sophomore Jack Weisenberger (80) setting a tone that will be tough to beat if they can replicate that balance at Thornberry Creek. Lurking out there, too, is Fox Valley Association champion Appleton North, which won the FVA Championship with a 327 but finished third (345) at the De Pere regional.

Projected state team qualifiers: Notre Dame (Green Bay), De Pere.

Projected state individual qualifiers: Austin Georger, Appleton West; Max Reis, West De Pere; Aiden Cudney, Kimberly.

MADISON MEMORIAL SECTIONAL

TEAM QUALIFIERS REGIONAL SCORE STATE BERTHS LAST Holmen 331 6 2019 Madison Memorial 321 17 2017 Middleton 310 21 2019 Onalaska 327 21 2013 Reedsburg 358 7 2008 Tomah 333 4 1983 Verona 323 1 2018 Waunakee 309 1 2017 INDIVIDUAL QUALIFIERS REGIONAL SCORE Dominick Fetterer, Wisconsin Rapids 88 Charlie Gibbs, Baraboo 84 Finn Jackson, Madison West 88 Dane Kubisiak, Wisconsin Rapids 88 Sonny Lombardo, Mount Horeb 88 Kaleb Lycke, La Crosse Central/Logan 83 Jack Morgan, Madison West 85 Brandt Wilson, Sauk Prairie 89

When, where: 9 a.m. Monday at Blackhawk CC-Madison, par 72.

That was then (in 2019): Historically a mix of Madison- and La Crosse-area teams, this sectional welcomed Wisconsin Rapids to the mix for the first time and went to the Ridges GC in Wisconsin Rapids to determine state qualifiers. The results, however, looked a lot like those when the sectional is played in Madison or La Crosse. Four Middleton golfers broke 80, led by junior Kip Sullivan (75), as the Cardinals shot 306 and topped Holmen by five shots for the team title. Mount Horeb’s Kasen Fager (72) earned medalist honors by two strokes over Verona senior Austin Gaby. They joined Sparta junior Austin Erickson (76) in advancing to the state tournament as individuals. Middleton sophomore Jacob Beckman (79) tied for 10th and was the top finisher among golfers still competing at the high school level in 2021.

This is now (in 2021): Middleton, which finished second to Milwaukee Marquette at the 2019 WIAA Division 1 state championship, was reminded last week that it’s as tough to get to the state tournament out of this sectional as it is to contend once there. The Cardinals shot 310 at their own regional last week at Pleasant View GC, but finished second to Waunakee (309), which boasted the medalist in junior Max Brud (73) and had all five golfers break 85. Middleton’s four scoring golfers ranged from 75 to 80 with a lineup that had just one senior (University of Wisconsin recruit Jacob Beckman) in it. While they would appear to be the teams to beat, Onalaska’s winning 327 at its own regional came on a demanding La Crosse CC and will no doubt send the Hilltoppers into the sectional with confidence. However, qualifiers from both regionals will find a much different challenge at Blackhawk CC, a tight layout with fast greens that is playing host to a boys sectional for the first time in recent memory. When the course held a Division 1 regional in 2017, Middleton won with a 311, but none of the other schools in the eight-team field broke 325 and only one golfer bettered 76. To further muddy the waters, three schools ranked in the top 10 — No. 4 Middleton, No. 8 Waunakee and No. 9 Madison Memorial — are in the field as are the top two teams also receiving votes (Verona and Holmen).

Projected state team qualifiers: Middleton, Madison Memorial.

Projected state individual qualifiers: Will Meganck, Waunakee; Hunter Neumann, Tomah; Sam Evenson, Holmen.

PLYMOUTH SECTIONAL

TEAM QUALIFIERS REGIONAL SCORE STATE BERTHS LAST Arrowhead (Hartland) 302 30 2019 Fond du Lac 345 39 2019 Hartford 340 12 2003 Manitowoc 341 21 2007 Neenah 344 10 2014 Plymouth 346 15 2017 Sheboygan North 307 27 2018 Slinger 321 5 2014 INDIVIDUAL QUALIFIERS REGIONAL SCORE Owen Beumler, Sheboygan South 89 Isaac Geffers, Oshkosh North 88 Joseph Held, West Bend West 88 Tristan Helgeson, West Bend West 89 Nic Kolar, Sheboygan South 89 Boden Memmel, West Bend East 90 Dakota Rezachek, Two Rivers/Mishicot 89 Evan Spaeth, West Bend West 86

When, where: 9 a.m. Wednesday at Quit-Qui-Oc GC-Elkhart Lake, par 71.

That was then (in 2019): Two-time defending WIAA Division 1 state champion Piercen Hunt shot 70 at Washington County GC in Hartford as Arrowhead (Hartland) shot 308 and edged Fond du Lac by four shots for the team title at the WIAA Division 1 Hartford regional. Beaver Dam senior Zak Kulka, a UW-Green Bay recruit, finished second with a 72 and joined Plymouth senior Charlie Aschenbach (74) and De Pere senior Cole Griffin (76) in qualifying for the state tournament individually. Slinger sophomore Addison Raimer and West De Pere freshman Max Reis shot matching 80s and were the top finishers among those golfers who are still competing during the 2021 season.

This is now (in 2021): Sheboygan North moves into this sectional from what this year is the Mequon Homestead sectional and promises to give perennial power and top-ranked Arrowhead (Hartland) a run for the team title. The Golden Raiders are coming off of a Neenah regional championship where sophomore Mason Schmidtke’s state-best 66 fueled their 307 winning score. Overshadowed by Schmidtke’s remarkable round was the fact that all five North golfers, three of them seniors, shot 86 or better. That experience will be critical against Arrowhead and Slinger, whose senior standouts are at the top of their lineups and promise to make the road to Wild Rock GC in Wisconsin Dells difficult for North. Arrowhead seniors Nick Amtmann and Andrew Fickel shared regional medalist honors with 73s at Washington County GC last week as the Warhawks, who also got a 74 from sophomore Bode King, shot 302 to top Slinger by 19 strokes. Raimer, however, is playing some of the best golf of his high school career and has formed a solid nucleus with junior Will Summers and senior Tyson Miller. 

Projected state team qualifiers: Arrowhead (Hartland), Sheboygan North.

Projected state individual qualifiers: Addison Raimer, Slinger; Will Summers, Slinger; Wyatt Pfeiffer, Fond du Lac.

JANESVILLE PARKER SECTIONAL

TEAM QUALIFIERS REGIONAL SCORE STATE BERTHS LAST Beloit Memorial 340 28 2013 Fort Atkinson 356 11 2015 Milton 326 1 1987 Monona Grove 346 3 2017 Mukwonago 332 8 2019 Oregon 353 1 2000 Stoughton 358 9 2013 Sun Prairie 351 8 2010 INDIVIDUAL QUALIFIERS REGIONAL SCORE Nolan Ahler, Elkhorn 85 Will Arkin, Madison La Follette 92 Josh Brogren, Elkhorn 85 Ryan Ertel, McFarland 90 Kai Klass, McFarland 91 Wyatt Marshall, Janesville Craig 73 Ethan Prusakeiwicz, DeForest 88 Bryce Sullivan, Janesville Craig 87

When, where: 8 a.m. Tuesday at Janesville Riverside GC, par 72.

That was then (in 2019): Bucknell recruit Blake Wisdom of Lake Geneva Badger shot 71 while teammates Luke Abram (75), Ben Rademaker (77) and TJ Walton (78) also broke 80 as the Badgers (301) pulled out a two-stroke victory at the Mukwonago sectional at Edgewood GC in Big Bend. Mukwonago won a team playoff over Sun Prairie for the second state berth after the two teams tied for second place at 303, leaving the Cardinals’ Mickey Keating (73) to take one of the three state individual berths with Janesville Parker junior Kadin Kleman (73) and Milton senior AJ Gray (75), who won a playoff over Sun Prairie senior Ethan Carrick and Janesville Parker’s Zack Milner for the final spot at University Ridge. Badger’s Abram, who tied for fifth, was the top golfer among those still competing at the high school level in 2021.

This is now (in 2021): As is often the case with a sectional that encompasses areas south of Madison and west of Milwaukee, this sectional couldn’t be more wide open. Milton (326) and Monona Grove (346) come to Janesville Riverside as regional champions, but Mukwonago (332) and Beloit Memorial (340) finished within 14 strokes of Milton at the Mukwonago regional at Edgewood GC in Big Bend and Sun Prairie (351), Oregon (353) and Stoughton (358) finished within 12 shots of MG at the Portage regional at Portage CC. Likewise, only four golfers broke 80 at Mukwonago, led by individual sectional qualifier Wyatt Marshall of Janesville Craig (73), and no one shot lower than 81 at Portage. Beloit Memorial and Monona Grove shot matching 349s to finish T-2 at the Ashenfelder Invitational at Janesville Riverside last month, but history suggests the course is much more forgiving than that so it will likely take a score lower than 320 to advance to the state tournament.

Projected state team qualifiers: Milton, Mukwonago.

Projected state individual qualifiers: Griffin Oberneder, Beloit Memorial; Jacob Frederickson, Monona Grove; Wyatt Marshall, Janesville Craig.

When, where: 9 a.m. Tuesday at North Shore CC-Mequon.

That was then (in 2019): Sophomore Ty Mueller (78) and junior Josh Teplin (80) turned in top-10 finishes as Mequon Homestead shot 322 and survived arguably the toughest sectional venue in the state on the Irish Course at Whistling Straits in Haven with the Sheboygan North sectional championship. Kettle Moraine (330) edged Sheboygan North (333) and Germantown (336) for the second state berth. Sheboygan North seniors Austin Thyes (73) and Max Schmidtke (76) and Waterford junior Josh Koszarek (75) qualified for the state tournament individually. Medalist Ben Pausha of Kettle Moraine (72) was the top finisher among golfers still competing at the high school level in 2021.

This is now (in 2021): Top-ranked Kettle Moraine, which shot 295 in winning the Waukesha South regional, and No. 3 Mequon Homestead headline a field that includes a few teams — Cedarburg, Germantown and Hamilton (Sussex) — capable of keeping the favorites from punching their ticket to the state tournament in Wisconsin Dells. It will take a yeoman’s effort, however. Kettle Moraine’s victory at Morningstar Golfers Club in Waukesha included a 72 from senior Jackson Vinopal, a 73 from freshman Spencer Stuke, a 74 from sophomore Alex Koenig and a 76 from senior Jackson Cain. Pausha, the sectional champion two years ago the last time a WIAA tournament series was held, had his 78 thrown out. Homestead seemed comfortable with the shootout that was its regional at Mee Kwon GC. Mueller’s 71 earned him a share of medalist honors with Germantown’s Collin Thomey and led the way for the Highlanders (304), who got a 75 from sophomore Hunter Thibert and a 77 from senior Christian Sobczak at the back end of the lineup on a day when No. 2 golfer Joe Fricker shot 82 despite a 37 on the back nine. Cedarburg (Nathan Theama), Germantown (Thomey) and Sussex Hamilton (Michael Addie) all have strong No. 1 golfers who won’t be intimidated by a tough sectional venue in North Shore CC, which is the fourth Mequon-area course Homestead has enlisted to host a postseason competition in the last three years.

Projected state team qualifiers: Homestead (Mequon), Kettle Moraine .

Projected state individual qualifiers: Collin Thomey, Germantown; Michael Addie, Hamilton (Sussex); Nathan Theama, Cedarburg .

RACINE CASE SECTIONAL

When, where: 9 a.m. Tuesday at Ives Grove GL-Sturtevant, par 72.

That was then (in 2019): Junior Jack Lutze (70) and seniors Jack Blair (72) and Drew Sagrillo (72) swept the top three spots and freshman Hayden LeMonds (76) finished T-7 as Milwaukee Marquette shot 290 and cruised to a 17-stroke victory over Franklin to win its own sectional at Brown Deer Park GC in Milwaukee. No other school finished within 36 strokes of the top two teams. University of Wisconsin-bound junior Cameron Huss of Kenosha Tremper (76) earned his first WIAA state tournament berth as an individual qualifier along with St. Francis/Cudahy sophomore Peter Iwanowski (78) and Greenfield senior Sam Mendoza (79). Franklin sophomore John Mirsberger (73) finished T-4, the best showing by a golfer still competing in the high school ranks in 2021.

This is now (in 2021): The names may change, but the results remain the same for Milwaukee Marquette, which has won the last two WIAA Division 1 state championships and three of the last four. Senior Riley Simonz (75), junior Sebastian Kasun (76) and sophomore Marco Bamrah (76) swept the top three places and junior Hayden LeMonds shot 77 in his season debut after a long road to recovery from Bankart Repair shoulder surgery last summer as the Hilltoppers shot 304 to win their own regional a Brown Deer Park, a rather stress-free competition with only three schools fielding full teams. That junior Will Hemauer’s 78 was thrown out speaks to the depth coach Brad Niswonger’s team has again in 2021. There figures to be a wide gap between Marquette and the second-place team at Ives Grove. None of the other six teams in the sectional shot lower than 329 (Oak Creek), paving the way for a spirited battle for the second state berth.

Projected state team qualifiers: Marquette (Milwaukee), Racine Case.

Projected state individual qualifiers: Dylan Moore, Kenosha Indian Trail; Tyler Dahl, Kenosha Tremper; John Mirsberger, Franklin.

When, where: 9 a.m. Wednesday at Brighton Dale Links GC-Kansasville, par 72.

That was then (in 2019): Junior Dan Sobeleski (76) and Wauwatosa East/West shot 305 at Wanaki GC in Menomonee Falls and won a shootout with junior Marty Swab (72) and Menomonee Falls (308) to win the Brookfield Central sectional. Swab shared medalist honors with UW-Eau Claire-bound senior Connor Brown of Union Grove, who qualified individually Brookfield Central seniors Jack Anderson (75) and Dean Yun (76). Yun won a playoff over Brookfield East’s Zach Walsh for the final state individual berth. Sophomore Sam Yun (78), who finished T-12, was the top finisher among those golfers still competing during the 2021 high school season.

This is now (in 2021): Badger (Lake Geneva) moves over from the Janesville Parker regional to take aim at Wauwatosa East/West, which placed all five golfers in the top 11 at last week’s Brookfield Central regional at Wanaki GC in Menomonee Falls and shot a 317 to top runner-up Brookfield East by 10 shots for the team title. Junior Ben Soboleski (75) and senior Colin Muellen (79) were the only golfers to break 80 at Wanaki, the kind of scores that will go a long way at Brighton Dale Links in a sectional that is otherwise extremely balanced. Badger won the Union Grove regional at Ives Grove GL in Sturtevant with a 327 behind junior TJ Walton, who played well in the postseason in 2019, and seniors Colton Craig (81) and Chris Bakken (83). Scores are seldom low at Brighton Dale so this sectional will not only test the depth of teams hoping to advance to Wisconsin Dells, but also their patience.

Projected state team qualifiers: Wauwatosa East/West, Badger (Lake Geneva) .

Projected state individual qualifiers: Simon Graham, Union Grove; Sam Sonsalla, Brookfield Central; Charlie Bennett, Brookfield East.

USS United States vs HMS Macedonian

Pretty cool about the figurehead.

[rosemeriwether]

George Washington had his camp-de-aides who seemed impressionable by him. Edward Preble had his young naval officers he called a “pack of school boys” and they grew to admire him.

I’m sorry but when your captain orders you prepare to fire upon a ship that is “supposedly twice as large with twice as many guns” (it was dark so they couldn’t see til the last minute and he still ordered), you think “okay this guy got back bone.” Commodore Preble wasn’t going to let a British ship commander tell him what to do.

When a prince who’s been pirating your country’s merchant ships threatens to cut you down then asks why you’re not afraid, and your response is “If you presume to do it, my squadron in your full view will lay your batteries, your castle and your city in ruins.” (His sailing master recorded instructions in the flagship log: “If the least injury is offered to my person, immediately attack the batteries, the castle, the city, and the troops, regardless of my personal safety.”

One would DEFINITELY think “This man has a set made of steel and I will follow him to the ends of the earth.” Which some did called the “Preble’s Boys”. Not to mention he also called his crew “cubs”.
