Substantial structural damage

City closes library, declares public emergency to repair failing supports
by MATT GEIGER
Middleton Times-Tribune
The Middleton Public Library is a place renowned for

opening peoples minds and
eyes to the vast worlds of literature, history, art and much,
much more.
But when people noticed that
the buildings ceiling was opening last week, there was cause
for concern.
City officials closed the library for at least a week following the discovery of what city
administrator Mike Davis called
substantial structural damage
to the trusses supporting the
buildings roof.
In a message to city staff and

elected officials, Davis said the
problem was discovered on the
south side of the building,
where a visible gap had appeared in the ceiling.
While structural engineer
Mike Leiferman was visiting
about the library employee access project last Tuesday, January 19, he and [library director]
Pamela Westby noticed a gap in
the ceiling that had not existed
previously,
Davis
explained.On Friday, Leiferman
climbed into the area above the
ceiling [and] below the roof to
investigate and found substantial structural damage to the
trusses.
Leiferman
advised
Westbyand building inspector

Scott Ellarson to close the library to protect citizens and library employees. Westby closed
the building effective Saturday,
Jan. 23.
The city took additional action over the weekend, and city
attorney Larry Bechler drafted a
resolution to declare a public
emergency. That resolution was
added to the Middleton Public
Works Committees agenda on
Monday of this week. It was approved.
Davis said that due to emergency provisions under state
law, no bidding is required for
the repair work and the agenda

assistant principal before becoming principal. Before that,

he worked as a social studies
teacher in Colorado and started
his career in the District as a
teacher and dean of students at
MHS.
Keeler said he had been
mulling the decision for close to
a year. He said he wanted to
move into a position that had
more daily interaction with students.
Life doesnt always follow
the school calendar, Keeler
said. It just felt like the right
time.
Keeler began his new position as a special education
teacher at Middleton High
School on Jan. 26, the first day
of the second semester.
Superintendent Don Johnson

said while it is natural to wonder why a transition would
occur in the middle of the
school year it isnt uncommon.
The district typically has 15-20
openings that are filled during
the school year, he said.
Tim basically desires more
personal-professional life balance, an opportunity to work
with students on a personal
level, and a change from the
daily demands of being a principal, Johnson said. It is really as simple as that. I respect
Mr. Keelers resilience and willingness to make a challenging
life decision for both personal
and professional reasons.
Deno joined the District in
2005 after serving 11 years as
an intern assistant principal in

the
Minneapolis
Public
Schools. He has degrees from
St. Thomas and the University
of Minnesota.
Bill has an exemplary reputation as an administrator, an instructional leader, and as a
collaborative educator, Johnson said. It is rewarding to
have such a capable leader to
step in at this time.
Associate principal Ken
Metz and special education coordinator Adrienne Emerson
will remain in their current positions at Glacier Creek.
Colleen Young, currently a English Second Language teacher at
Kromrey, will replace Jalateefa
Joe-Meyers as the dean of students at Glacier Creek. Joe-
Meyers will assume a new position as student engagement

coordinator for second semester
to expand the Districts work increasing graduation rates
among credit deficient students
at the high school level.
Eric Engel, who has worked
as a science teacher and dean of
students for 16 years at Kromrey, will replace Deno as the
schools associate principal.
Lindsay Vicenzi, who has been
Kromreys math integration
specialist, will replace Engel as
dean of students.
Johnson said both dean of
students are interim positions.
He said the timing of the
changes made it difficult to hold
inteviews for the positions now.
However, he wants to especially
given other internal candidates

an opportunity to apply for the
positions in the spring.
Although I recognize that
many will be very sad to see
Bill leave Kromrey, the leadership transition should be very
seamless as Eric and Lindsay
know the staff, students, and
families well, Johnson said.
Strong administrators like Bill
often have opportunities to assume more responsibility and
new challenges. This is just
such a time for him.
Johnson said Deno plans to
meet with Glacier Creek staff
before school on Thursday. A
meet-and-greet with Glacier
Creek families is also being
planned and will be held in the
near-future.
District students in grades 38 were well above the state average for public school students
on the Badger Exam, according
to results released by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction on Wednesday, Jan.
13.
More than 72 percent of District students were proficient or
advanced in English/language
arts compared with the state average of 51.2 percent. More
than 72.5 percent of District stu-
dents were proficient or advanced in mathematics compared with the state average of
43.7 percent. The results are
from the statewide exams offered in 2014-15.
District third-graders (78.3)
had the highest score in English/language arts among the 16
school districts in Dane County.
In mathematics, third-graders
(77.7), seventh-graders (76.5)
and eighth-graders (63.0) all
had the highest scores in the
county for their respective
grades.
Meanwhile, District 11thgraders in 2014-15 had a com-
posite score of 23.4 on the ACT

college admissions exam compared with the state average of
20.0. The exam was administered in March 2015 to all public school 11th-graders in the
state for the first time. More
than 65,000 juniors in the state
took the ACT or the DLM.
The ACT is scored on a scale
of one to 36 and consists of five
subject areas: English, reading,
writing, mathematics and science.
Nearly 69 percent of District
students scored proficient or advanced on the English-readingwriting portion of the ACT
compared with the state average

of 45.7. Sixty-two percent of
District students scored proficient or advanced on the math
portion of the ACT compared
with the state average of 35.9. A
score of 20-27 was considered
proficient, while 28 and above
was considered advanced.
The Districts ACT composite score was second among the
13 Dane County districts who
submitted their score to the
Wisconsin State Journal. Only
Waunakee (23.9) was higher.
The Badger Exam was an online assessment administered
last spring statewide to more
than 360,000 students. Nearly

5,000 students took the Dynamic Learning Maps (DLM)
exam, which measures academic progress of students with
significant cognitive disabilities.
The Badger Exam and DLM
replaced the Wisconsin Knowledge and Concepts Examination
(WKCE) and the Wisconsin Alternate Assessment for Students
with Disabilities for students in
grades 3-8.
The Badger Exam will be replaced in 2016 with the Forward Exam, which will be
administered in the spring. The
Badger Exam was developed

through the Smarter Balanced
Assessment Consortium, however, legislation adopted as part
of the 2015-17 state budget prohibits DPI from using exams
developed by the consortium.
The state has a six-ear contract with Data Recognition
Corporation, the company
which will produce the Forward
Exam.
The tests are part of the Wisconsin Student Assessment System (WSAS), which State
Superintendent Tony Evers said
is more rigorous than prior testing.
The Middleton High School

boys ski and snow board teams
continued to dominate the WHSARA conference series, both
posting first place finishes at the
second and coldest race of the
season on Monday, January 18.
Racing slalom at Tyrol Basin,
the boarders placed seven in the
points, led by Campbell Esbeck
1st, Max Lawrence 2nd, Sam Anderson 4th, Jackson Grimm 7th,
Jordan Meyer 11th, Charlie
Angevine 12th, and Edwin Stajkovic 13th. The skiers kept
pace at the giant slalom race on
a challenging course at Cascade
Mountain, putting four skiers in
the points: Jack Ronnie 2nd,
Austin Krantz 6th, Zach Whrite-
nour 7th and Alec Riddle

13th. Both teams continue to
lead the conference standings.
On the girls side, the boarders placed second. Even with
six MHS boarders in the points,
the Verona/Monona Grove
COOP team was again too
tough to topple. Middleton was
led by Megan Chandler 3rd,
Paige Wirth 4th, Hannah
Laufenberg 7th, Abigail Drake
9th, Samantha Williams 10th and
Kaden Mettel 12th. The skiers

placed sixth at the Cascade race,
remaining fifth in the season
standings overall. With the
skiers missing top finisher
Olivia Krigbaum,racers Erika
Rader, Rachel Kushner and
Anne Squires stepped up and
led the team.
Head Ski Coach Ray Riddle
and Head Board Coach Darrin
Kolka are both pleased with the
progress of the teams, as at this
point in the season, the boys ski

team, boys board team and the
girls board team look to be State
Championship bound, while the
girls skiers are just one place
from an invitation.
The teams competed again at

Climate change takes center stage in local

public hearing on emergency management
by CAMERON BREN
Dane County emergency

management staff recently held
a series of listening sessions to
get public input on revising a
natural hazards mitigation plan
to include the projected effects
of climate change in the region.
A handful of residents attended
the Westport meeting to share
their thoughts on how to prepare for looming effects of climate change.
Dane County executive Joe
Parisi, along with director of
Dane County Emergency Management Charles Tubbs, assistant director Dave Janda, and
project assistant and graduate
student in urban and regional
planning Phil Rynish presented
the projected changes the region
faces and what a mitigation plan
should do.
The forces of mother nature
can strike quickly and the more
we can do before disasters happen to reduce the potential for
damages, the safer our citizens
will be, said Parisi. In recent
years, record droughts, historic

rains and sweltering heat have
all impacted the personal and
economic safety of our citizens. As our changing climate
results in a growing number of
extreme weather events, its important we assess our climate
change vulnerabilities and
adapt.
Parisi said that each dollar
spent on mitigation saves society an average of $4 in avoided
future losses in addition to saving lives and preventing injuries.
Janda said that up until now
the natural hazards mitigation
plan has only been based on
past events.
Were looking to incorporate the effects of climate
change into the hazard analysis, Janda said. In the past the
hazard analysis was based on
looking backwards at events
that had happened and now we
are looking to try to project in
the future and plan better.
Janda explained that the plan
is a multi-jurisdictional effort.
He said all 61 local units were
invited to participate and 40 of

them have agreed to while the

rest have chosen to opt out.
When we are talking about
climate change in this plan
were talking about in the context of how these hazards are
changing as the climate

warms, he said. Were not
talking about outlining actions
that would be taken to try to
mitigate greenhouse gases in
the atmosphere, were looking
at the consequences.
Phil Rynish broke down the
projected effects climate change
will have on Wisconsin. He
said the average winter temperature by 2055 will be seven to
eight degrees warmer than it

was in 1980 and there will more
days above 90 degrees. The
warmer climate will increase
the likelihood of extreme temperatures,
severe
winter
weather, tornadoes, and floods,
he said.
Rynish said the projections
show not only increased precipitation but more torrential rainfall that leads to flooding, and
algae blooms and water contamination from runoff.
Residents who attended the
event offered various suggestion on what steps the county
could take including improved
stormwater runoff infrastructure, rebates for generators and
water pumps, and establishing
public shelters for extreme
weather events.
Many of the residents said
that they felt the major challenge to planning for extreme
weather is the apathy of the
general public. Janda says the
county is planning to offer more
education and training so residents can learn the risks and
how to minimize them.
Driver from Middleton unharmed after being hit by semi-truck
On Monday at approximately
noon, Dane County Sheriffs
deputies, along with the Mount
Horeb Fire Department, responded to two-vehicle crash on
Highway 18/151 near CTH J in
the Town of Springdale.
Initial reports indicated a

semi-truck collided with a lumber truck, causing partial blockage of the roadway and a
possible fuel leak from one of
the trucks. According to a statement issued by the sheriffs of-
fice, the preliminary investigation indicated the driver of the

semi, Campanella Ford, Jr., age
39, from Illinois, was southbound on Highway 18/151 and
attempted to change lanes to
exit on CTH J, colliding with a
flatbed lumber truck.

The lumber truck was driven
by Brian N. Miller, age 63, of
Middleton. Both drivers were
wearing their seatbelts and neither sustained any injuries.
The crash caused approxi-
mately 30 gallons of diesel fuel

to leak from the semi, onto the
ground.
Deputies were assisted at the
scene by personnel from the
DNR, Madison Fire Departments Hazardous Materials
Team and Dane County Highway crews.

As a result of the crash,
Highway 18/151 near CTH J
was closed nearly four hours,
while emergency personnel investigated the incident.
Some want to start endowment fund for the citys public lands

Local woman to play Meg in Little Women at Capitol Theater
Madison Opera presents the

company premiere of Mark
Adamos Little Women on Friday, February 5 and Sunday,
February 7 in the Capitol Theater at the Overture Center for
the Arts.
An adaptation of Louisa May
Alcotts beloved novel, the
opera is a showpiece for the
young cast who portray the four
March sisters and their suitors,
featuring moving arias, comic
exchanges, and emotional confrontations. Alcotts 1868 novel
Little Women follows Jo March
and her sisters Meg, Beth, and
Amy as they come of age in
New England. The opera focuses on the moments when the
sisters leave home and become
adults, centering on Jo as she
clings to her perfect family life
and tries to prevent things from
changing. Ultimately she learns

Morey has said the towering

power poles will have a major
impact on four instrument approaches to the airport.
It will have quite an impact
on our airport, on the ability to
make landings here. It can make
the difference between someone
landing here or going to Madison or elsewhere, Morey said
Monday.
Adding five transmission
poles west of the airport affects
how low planes can fly on the
airports four instrument approaches to Runway 10, the airports longest landing strip,
Morey said. It would also limit
the ability to expand the airport
westward in the future, he
added.

ward. Adamos opera premiered

at Houston Grand Opera in
March 1998 to instant acclaim,
swiftly becoming one of the
most performed American operas ever written. To date, there
have been over 70 productions
around the world. The New
York Times called the opera
some sort of masterpiece,
while The New Yorker called it
a beautifully crafted work:
shows remarkable confidence
[and] does a brilliant job of
molding Alcotts tale into operatic form.
Madison Opera brings Little
Women to vivid life on the
Capitol Theater stage, using
projections as well as traditional
scenery and beautiful costumes
to create the simultaneous
scenes that make up the sisters

time and place.
I first heard Little Women in

The PSC approved the routing
of the La Crosse to Madison
power line in March but the
FAA just closed its public comment period on the power line
on Jan. 8 and is not expected to
issue a decision for some time.
The approval process seems
backward to me because they
cant comment until the routing
has been okayed, he said.
In an email written last
month, the Wisconsin Department of Transportations Airspace Safety Manager wrote
that some of the power line
structures will have a negative
impact on airport flight procedures, according to preliminary
FAA studies.
A call to Justin Hetland,
DOTs Airspace Safety Manager about the possible impact
was not returned before deadline.

it captured this classic story,

Paula Groom, a DOT airport

development engineer, wrote
the PSC in May to consider the
height and location of the power
line towers so they will interfere
with present or future airport
operations.
The (FAA), state of Wisconsin and the Middleton Airport
have invested approximately $9
million into development of the
Middleton Municipal Airport in
the last 10 years. We intend to
continue investing in the development of the airport to meet
the needs of the surrounding
community, Groom wrote.
Groom was unavailable for
comment Monday.
A request to the PSC to bury
part of the line or move it west
came from Laura Kunze, a town
of Middleton resident who opposed the power line while the
PSC considered the $580 million project during.
The PSC approved route connects a substation in the town of

Vienna to a substation in the
town of Middleton by extending
the new 345-kilovolt line along
an existing 138-kilovolt line
along Bronner Rd. to the Cardinal substation south of US 14
near Willow Ln.
Kunze favored the alternate
route which would have taken
the power line further west
through largely undeveloped
land.
Kunze declined last week to
elaborate on her request to
move or bury the line saying
she would let the materials she
filed with the PSC speak for
themselves.
In that request, Kunze wrote
that the possible interference
with airport flight approaches
constitutes new evidence that
should prompt the PSC to review the Badger Coulee routing
lars for a mixed use building

with 240 units and ten percent
of those dedicated to work force
housing.
T5 Real Estate and Forward
Management Inc. in conjunction with Jeff Straubel of Greenway Properties want to develop
a six-acre parcel at the north end
of Greenway Station on Market
Street into three new buildings
each with approximately 84,000
square feet of commercial space
and 80 apartment units. The
proposal is being called Market
West Apartments.
The development would extensively renovation the existing 8,000 square foot former
Boston Pizza building, and create 243 underground parking
spaces and 196 surface parking
stalls.
The breakdown of TIF eligible costs are for the project and
what the developers are requesting is $1.5 million for capital-
ized value of loss of rents for

workforce housing, about
$800,000 for a 320 kW roof
mounted photovoltaic solar
array that could power up to 85
percent of common areas, $1.8
million for soil remediation,
$1.57 million for constructing a
second level of underground
parking, $500,000 for sustainability features, and $1.67 million for interest expense on a
developer financed loan for a
total of $7,868,698.
City alder Mark Sullivan
raised concerns over the $1.5
million for work force housing.
I think we all need to understand that we are limiting ourselves in the future when we
take off for work force housing, he said.
City planning director Eileen
Kelley explained that could be
true but could also be avoided
by being properly balanced.
I think if it is integrated
well, there is a value that is created and there is an unnatural

suppression when it is a
WHEDA tax credit, but when
you are looking at the income
approach and youre talking
about ten percent of 240 units,
from the numbers we have
looked at that is a minimal suppression, Kelley explained.
The value is still there to pay
back the developer financed
portion of it.
City finance director John
Lehman said city assessor Paul
Musser reviewed the numbers
and found it to be viable to be
paid by the increment, though
that did not satisfy Sullivans
concerns.
At this point in time it seems
that since weve had the work
force housing policy were
being exposed to more offers of
it, Sullivan stated.
Then it is doing what it is
supposed to, alder JoAnna
Council approval, as needed.

Applicants for this volunteer
work should have a strong commitment to Middleton Public
Lands, effective planning skills,
and good interpersonal and consensus building skills.
Individuals interested in
serving on this planning committee should email a note of interest to Penni Klein, Public
Lands Manager by February 12,
2016. The email should include

applicants name, phone number, home and email address
plus a short statement indicating
why the applicant is interested
in this work.
Last year, the Middleton
Common Council approved a
resolution to explore options for
developing a Middleton Public
Lands Endowment Fund, draft
contracts, as needed, and imple-
ment a fund for the City, to accept donations from individuals

and organizations. A non-lapsing endowment fund would
complement the work of the
city, identified by its Comprehensive Park and Open Space
Plan, Conservancy Lands Open
Space Plan, and goals for further development and maintenance of the urban forest on
public lands.
LANDS
Richard retorted.
Sullivan said taken to the extremes, if more and more
money were devoted to work
force housing, then there would
eventually be no increment.
Richard said the same could be
said of all TIF-eligible expenses.
City administrator Mike
Davis noted that being a developer financed TIF agreement
there is no money taken from
the general TIF, but only taken
from increment generated from
the development. He said it really comes down to a matter of
policy choice.
The policy question you
have before you is, do you
want to fund through developer
financed TIF work force housing, which is a legitimate public
policy goal for the city or not or
less so?
Davis compared it to instances where the city used TIF

Madison Opera presents three
productions annually in addition to the free summer concert

decision as it pertains to the airport.

Kunze stated that airport
issue was brought to the PSCs
attention by state DOT within
the PSCs time limits for requests to reconsider a final decision. However, Grooms letter
to PSCs Ellen Nowak apparently was not considered an official request as it was not
posted to the PSCs website and
the city of Middleton was not
notified.
The city not only has an interest in maintaining the safety
and future of its airport, it also
has a Height Limitation Zoning
ordinance intended to protect
airport operations within three
miles of its boundaries, Kunze
wrote.
The PSC posted Kunzes request to its website last week
but has taken no further action
as of Monday.
American Transmission Co., the
builder and owner of the power
line, stands by the PSC ordered
route, which is proposed as an
overhead line, Kaya Frieman

ATCs legal department has
reviewed the Kunze filing and
does not plan to file a response
at this time, Frieman also
wrote.
ATC has secured easements
from a majority of landowners
in the town of Middleton, no
portion of the route is within the

added.
Morey said he wants the PSC
to order the line moved west or
buried so it does not interfere
with current or future airport
operations but at this time could
not speculate it that will happen.

value to the development, while
Richard said the work force

Developer Timothy Carey of

said he was under the impression that they were meeting the
citys request by providing the
work force housing units.

youre headed Mark, Im not
trying to be disrespectful, but
we were asked to strongly consider work force housing, that
this is an important piece of the
objective of the community, and

project the expectation is that
we would integrate work force
housing, Carey stated.
Carey said that at first they
were planning to offer 20 percent for people at 80 percent of
area median income but then assistant director of community

development Abby Attoun
asked that they offer ten percent
of units and 60 percent of the
area median income.
Alder Howard Teal said work
force housing has been a high
priority of the city for quite
some time.
We have always said that
work force housing is important
to the city, this council has gone
on record say that is the case,
that is a very important element
of what we are doing, Teal
said.
I just want to make sure
everyone understands the true
cost of what we have signed up
for, Sullivan responded.
The common council approved the concept review of
proposed TIF assistance request
for
Market
West
Apartmentsseven to one, with
Sullivan opposed.
The planning committee will:
1.)identify and meet with the major stakeholders in Middleton, including organizations working to support public
lands or raising funds for other public efforts in the city
2.)from initial meetings with stakeholders, draft a mission statement for PRFC and CLC review
3.)hold public meetings on the approved draft mission statement and share public response with PRFC and
CLC
4.) review and revise, as needed, an agreement with Madison Community Foundation for a permanent endowment fund
5.) present the draft endowment agreement for city approval
6.)identify and recommend seven advisory committee members -- committed to Middleton Public Lands, skilled
in fund management, and fundraising for a subsequent on-going advisory committee for the permanent endowment.
City plan commission okayed more than $8 million in TIF projects

by CAMERON BREN
The Middleton Plan Commission two weeks ago granted

concept approval for TIF assistance for two proposed developments, a $7.8 million dollar
request for a 240 unit residential
building with commercial space
on the first level in Greenway
Station, and $653,562 for a 16
unit multifamily at 2317 Parmenter St.
T5 Real Estate and Forward
Management Inc in conjunction
with Jeff Straubel of Greenway
Properties want to develop a six
767-3655
acre parcel at the north end of

Greenway Station on Market
Street into three new buildings
each with approximately 84,000
square feet of commercial space
and 80 apartment units. The
proposed name is Market West
Apartments.
The development would extensively renovation the existing 8,000 square foot former
Boston Pizza building, and create 243 underground parking
spaces and 196 surface parking
stalls.
We are confident the project
will provide a vibrant, high
quality living environment at-
tractive to a wide cross-section

of the population, stated Timothy Carey, member of Market
West Apartments LLC. We
will also incorporate features
that address some of the core
objectives of the Good Neighbor City, including impactful
workforce housing components
and a significant solar-electric
array.
The breakdown of TIF eligible costs are for the project and
what the developers are requesting is $1.5 million for capitalized value of loss of rents for
workforce housing, about
$800,000 for a 320 kW roof
mounted photovoltaic solar

array that could power up to 85
percent of common areas, $1.8
million for soil remediation,
$1.57 million for constructing a
second level of underground
parking, $500,000 for sustainability features, and $1.67 million for interest expense on a
developer financed loan.
The total for all eligible costs
comes to $7,868,698. Alder
Hans Hilbert noted that the
project will need to begin
promptly to be able to get the
payback from the TIF before it
closes in 2030.
I really do like the addition
PAGE 5
of the ten percent of the units

going for workforce housing,
said plan commission member
Jim Wexler.
Concept approval to the project and recommending concept
approval to the Common Council for the developer-financed
TID #3 assistance passed unanimously.
Mazur Realty requested a developer financed TIF agreement
for $653,562 to assist in developing a 16 unit multi-family
building, with a mixture of one,
two and three bedrooms and underground parking called Cardinal Row Apartments. Two of
the units would be offered as affordable workforce housing.

As life long residents we are
excited about the improvements
we can make to this blighted
property in our beautiful city,
David Mazur of Mazur Realty
said in his request.
The TIF eligible expenses include the 25 underground parking stalls, building demolition,
sustainable features and affordable housing units.
Concept approval to the project and the recommendation for
concept approval to the common council for TIF assistance
passed unanimously.

U P A GAINST
THE
WALL
Musings on caucuses, homeland security and more

by TERRENCE WALL
Guest Column
I was watching kids sledding

down capitol hill in Washington
this weekend. What a neat
thing; where else in the world
can citizens sled on the grounds
of their nations capitol?
Here are a few thoughts for
this week:
Iowa Caucuses: Do people

really understand a caucus? I
didnt until I ran in 2010. A
caucus is not a primary open to
all voters. A caucus is open
only to dues paying members of
each political party and by default, that means only the most
hard core of each party who
choose to get actively involved
are able to vote. A lot of gaming and even vote trading and
vote buying can take place
within the caucus system, and
LIBRARY
item could be added without the

requirement of a 24-hour public
notice.
The public works committee
is the governing body for the
emergency resolution, and the
city councils role is only to determine when the emergency is
no longer in effect, according to
Davis.
I would imagine such council action could take place at either the scheduled special
meeting onSaturday, Jan. 30or
at the regularly-scheduled
Council meeting on Tuesday,
Feb. 2, he said.
City officials hoped repairs to
the outcome will reflect only

what the most strident of the
party members want, not what
the general voting public wants.
The Election: There are so
many great and unique things
about our country, which is why
the next election is so important. Im going to go out on a
limb; while there may very well
be three different winners of
Iowa, New Hampshire, and
North Carolina, love him or
hate him, I believe that in the
end Trump will be the Republican nominee. (I am not making
an endorsement here.) I am also
going to predict that Hillary will
not be the Democratic nominee;
the vultures are circling.
Water Supply, Flint, Michigan: Its stunning that the
media is trying to force blame
onto the Republican Governor
of Michigan for the Flint,
Michigan water contamination
problem. Another Michigan
city run into the ground financially; the local government and
the local water utility took a
shortcut and decided to switch
the water supply to the lead
contaminated Flint River. The
governors office had nothing
do to with it, so I couldnt understand the attempts to blame
him, but then I found out why.
Obamas EPA signed off on the
decision, and the media were
trying to distract attention away
from him. So much for the
EPAs scientific analysis.
Puerto Ricos Default: A
good example of what happens
to a government when it never
stops spending taxpayer money.
Puerto Rico defaulted on its
bonds, in spite of heavy taxes,
(so much for Bernie Sanders
idea for 90% tax rates), i.e.
higher taxes didnt solve government spending problems,
they just kept spending more.
The only answer is lower taxes,
less regulation, and a pro-business environment to attract investments and jobs that will
generate growth. That growth
will then generate more tax revenue with lower tax rates. More
government is never the answer.
Homeland Security: ... just
like Homeland Security Administration, which in spite of overwhelming funding, still cant
stop weapons from being
brought on board planes, as
proven by recent security tests.
Bush made a big mistake creating this monster. He should
have contracted security with
private firms with the government oversight and regulation.
The government is just not good
at doing stuff; its better purpose
is to regulate and police the private sector to ensure a level
playing field (but not guaranteeing equal outcomes) and fair
play.
the roofs supporting structure

could begin early this week.
Current estimates indicated
the repairs may take as long as
one week, said Westby in a
statement issued on Monday of
this week. Due to safety concerns related to the structural integrity of the roof, the library
must remain closed while repairs are made.
The librarys book drop will
also be closed during this time.
Library materials may be returned to the Alicia Ashman
branch of the Madison Public
Library, 733 N High Point Rd,
or to any nearby public library.
Beginning Monday, January

25 , Middleton Public Library
patrons may pick up their holds
at the Alicia Ashman branch.
Further updates will be
posted on the librarys website,
www.midlibrary.org.
The library would like to
apologize for any inconvenience caused and thank the public for their patience during this
time, Westby concluded.
The city hired Strategic
Structural Design, LLC., to investigate the cause of the problem. That companys report,
written by Leiferman and released Monday, pointed to a
broken weld that caused vertical deflection of a steel girder

that supports the roofs south
ride line. This, he said, may
have caused many wood plate
trusses to shift. Many of the
wood joists were using less than
half of their intended bearing
area.
Leiferman said the failure
could have resulted from the
structure being under designed
or
improperly
welded.
Ideal Builders was engaged
to repair the structural damage,
and the citys property insurer is
on notice of a pending property

Cordella T. Corky Cook
MIDDLETON - Cordella
T. Corky (Breunig) Cook,
age 83, passed away peacefully on Saturday, January
23, 2016, at home, surrounded by her family.
Corky was born on November 2, 1932, in Middleton,
daughter of Clarence and
Bernice Breunig. She married Duane W. Cook on July
17, 1954, in Middleton
where they raised their family. She loved children and
was a daycare provider for
more than 50 years. She was
a devoted member of St.
Bernards Catholic Church
and the choir. Corky had a
heart of gold and always put
others first. She enjoyed
spending time with friends,
but her greatest enjoyment in
life was her family which included: her four children,
Wayne (Colleen Hagler),

Bob (Jane), Mike (Darlene),
and Kristi Hunt; nine grandchildren, Chet, Colin, Janna
(Tim)Allen, Jayme (Deana
Ziemendorf), Cole (Jehvana), Courtney (Robert)
LaSavage, Cayla, Andre and
Tyler Hunt; great-grandchildren, Dacoda, Dalanie,
Kelby, Mazy, Braxton, Braelyn and Brysen; sisters and
brothers Anne Wipperfurth,

Stella (Richard) Dresen, Stan
(Mary Ann) Breunig, Phil
(Pat)
Breunig,
Roger
Brumm, Pat (Ron) Paska,
Mary Olson and Alan
(Diann) Breunig; brothers
and sisters in-law, Ester
Horsted, Lola Welke, Gary
Stolen and Don (Bernie);
and many nieces and
nephews. Corky was preceded in death by her husband Duane; parents; father
and mother-in-law Frank and
Ethel Cook; sister Phyllis
Brumm; brother Clarence
Butch Breunig; brothers
and sister-in-laws Al Wipperfurth, Charles Chuck
Olson, Leon Horsted, Joe
Welke, Delila Stolen, Leroy
Cook, and Marlin Cook; and
niece, Beth Breunig. The
family would like to give
special thanks to the staff at

Dean Clinic and Agrace
HospiceCare for their support, care and love.
Memorial services will be
held at ST. BERNARDS
CATHOLIC
CHURCH,
7450 University Avenue,
Middleton, at 11:30 a.m. on
Saturday, January 30, 2016.
Visitation will be held at the
church from 9:30 a.m. until
the time of the service on
Saturday. In lieu of flowers,
memorials can be made to
St. Bernards Catholic
Church or to Agrace HospiceCare. Online condolences may be made at

WIAA: Seriously, arent the

referees busy enough managing
the game and the players? I really doubt that they have time to
police the audience. This is just
another attack on free speech.
Yes, the kids may be inappropriate in their chants, but that is
for the parents to deal with (or
maybe the school); WIAA
should stick to its own expertise
and mind its own business.
Where do these people come
from ? Mother Russia? They
dont like the words students
shout so they want to punish
free citizens or worse, punish
the players or team for something a parent or student in the
audience said. Among the offensive sayings:
airball,
scoreboard, sieve, seasons
over, theres a net there, and
my favorite, USA. Thats
right, you cant chant USA.
Even Edgewood wont allow
America-themed chants at their
claim.
Leiferman estimated the repairs would take one to two
weeks.
Obviously, we are hoping
for a quick turn-around to reopen the library, but we need to
have public safety foremost in
our deliberations, said Davis.
The closure sent library
workers scrambling to find locations at which to hold a variety of scheduled library
programming. City Hall and
other municipal buildings were
working with Westby to help
find new spots for as many programs as possible.
RESCUE
equipped with the proper

floatation, he was able to
cling to it until rescue crews
arrived. He was treated for
hypothermia by paramedics
at the scene, but did not sustain any serious injuries.
The Dane County Sheriffs Office wants to alert
other ice anglers that the
deployment of airboats during this rescue greatly com-
ball games. Stupid. (Err, ahh, I

mean let me correct that and say
something political correct...)
My Views: Lastly, my column is not a political correct
safe speech zone. My column
is designed to challenge you,
get you to read the paper,
maybe even write a response to
the paper, and for you to challenge my thinking and get engaged in the political debate!
We may not agree, but I respect
your opinion and your right to
state it.

Middleton stays perfect

Cards survive
scare from
Arrowhead
by ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
Theyve been tested virtually every way possible.

Theyre rallied from double
digit deficits. Theyve held off
charges from upstart opponents.
Theyve beat teams inside
the top-10. Theyve blistered
foes with more modest accomplishments.
But every test Middletons
boys basketball team has been
handed during this magical
season has been aced.
The latest came last
Saturday, when the Cardinals
got a scare from visiting
Hartland Arrowhead. The
Warhawks rallied from a 16point deficit and held a twopoint lead with 2 minutes left,
before Middleton battled back
and notched an 81-78 win.
Middleton, ranked No. 2 in
the latest wissports.net poll,
improved to 14-0 overall. The
Cardinals are also 10-0 in the
Big Eight Conference and hold
a two-game lead over Madison
Memorial and Sun Prairie.

If theres such a thing as

the dog days of winter,
Middletons girls basketball
team is in the middle of them.
The Cardinals are in the
midst of a 20-day stretch in
which they wont play a team
with a winning record. And
for three consecutive weeks,
Middleton has just one game
per week.
January doldrums? You
bet.
But the Cardinals played
well enough for long
enough to post a 79-68 win
over visiting Madison East
last Saturday.
Middleton, ranked No. 2 in
the latest wissports.net poll,
improved to 13-2 overall. The
C.J. Fermanich (32) and Middletons boys basketball team earned a hard fought win over Hartland Arrowhead last Saturday.
Cardinals also moved to 11-0

in the Big Eight Conference
and maintained a -game lead
over Verona atop the league.
For the most part, I
thought we played pretty
well, Middleton coach Jeff
Kind said. We just have to
learn how to finish. Were not
doing that right now.
Middleton led by as many
as 21 with 3 minutes left in
the game. But East finished
the game on a 12-2 run to
make the final score more
respectable.
They did the same thing to
us over there, Kind said,
referring to the Cardinals 6451 win over Dec. 4. They hit
us with a big run like that late
in the game. Thats just not
how we want to close out
games.
Junior forward Alexis
Thomas and junior guard Bria
Lemirande both scored 16
points to lead Middleton.

Gymnasts 2nd at Southwestern
Katherine Marshall and Middletons gymnastics team finished second at last Saturdays Southwestern Invitational.
by ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
For Kari Steck, it was a

happy homecoming.
For Middletons girls gymnastics team, it was a day of
growth, progress and perhaps
some surprising results.
Middleton finished second
at the Southwestern Invite last
Saturday, despite missing four
varsity performers due to a
music trip and family events.
Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau
won the event with a 135.6
team score, while Middleton
posted its highest team score of
the season and finished second
at 135.425.
Holmen
was
third
(130.875), Monona Grove was
fourth (127.4) and Reedsburg
was fifth (110.525).
We were missing quite a
few girls who are typically key
players, said Steck, a graduate
of Southwestern High School.
However, the girls still pulled

off their highest season score,
which really speaks to the
depth on the team this year.
The girls continuously step up
and support each other, and it
shows.
Middleton junior Madeline
Pflasterer-Jennerjohn won the
all-around competition with a
37.275. Chloe Young was fifth
(33.35) in the all-around and
Dani Aranda was seventh
(32.375).
Pflasterer-Jennerjohn won
the vault with a 9.50, while
Young was fourth (8.75).
Ashley Bindl and Dani Aranda
tied for 16th (8.35).
the bars (9.30) and Young was
seventh
(8.0).
Katherine
Marshall was 14th (7.70) and
Aranda was 16th (7.30).
the beam (9.25) and Marshall
was fifth (8.425). Aranda was
sixth (8.375) and Young was
eighth (8.10).
Pflasterer-Jennerjohn also
won the floor exercise (9.225)
and Young was fifth (8.50).
Aranda was eighth (8.35) and
Tyler Benedict was 13th (7.95).
I think every girl on the
team hit a personal-best score
on at least one event, which is
amazing, Steck said. It just
shows whats in store for the
Cardinals as we enter February
and tournament season.
Middletons JV team also
finished second in its only
invite of the season. Making
that accomplishment even
more impressive is the
Cardinals had several JV performers move up to varsity due
to absences inside that lineup.
It is so much fun to see

girls who typically compete
only JV be able to experience
the feeling of an 11-team invitational, Steck said. Several
of the varsity girls have asked
if we can have our Cardinal
Invitational be a JV invitational
as well, which I think really
speaks to the camaraderie on
the team. They really thrive off
the support from each other,
and it's neat to see.

Middletons wrestling program has won a Big Eight

Conference regular season or
postseason crown for four

If that streak is going to reach

last Friday. But Janesville Craig

captured the conferences dual
meet crown.
The Big Eight Conference

Kevin Bavery said. But Ive

because hopefully its not
going anywhere.
Arrowhead almost drilled
the target.
Warhawks junior guard
Trevell Cunningham drained
what would have been a gametying, 28-foot jumper from the
right wing. But Cunninghams
shot came roughly one-half
second after the final buzzer.
Instead of heading to overtime, the Cardinals escaped and
added the latest chapter to the
best start in school history.
Middleton got a game-high
27 points from junior point
guard Storm Murphy, while
junior forward Tyree Eady
added 23 points and junior
guard C.J. Fermanich had 12.
Cunningham had 14 of his
team-high 22 points in the second half to pace the Warhawks.
Junior forward Alec Hamilton
had 11 points and 10 rebounds,
while senior post Brian
Willman and junior forward
Ben Seefeld both added 11
points.
This is a lot of fun right
now, Fermanich said. Were
trying to just go one game at a
time and not think about being
undefeated. Myron (Ashford)
likes to talk about it a little bit,
but were just trying to go
game by game.
This game was one of
Middletons most thrilling of
the season.
The Warhawks used a 9-2
run over a 3-minute stretch late
and took a 70-68 lead with 2:45
remaining on a driving, lefthanded layup by Cunningham.
That was Arrowheads first
lead since 2-0.
But Middleton answered
with six straight points to seize
back control.
Fermanich had the shot of
the night, when he got loose
and stuck a 15-footer with 2
minutes left that tied the game
at 70.
I really like that pull-up
shot from there, Fermanich
said. Thats one of my favorite
shots. I think I make it about
80- or 90% of the time.
After an Arrowhead miss,
Murphy was fouled and drilled
a pair of free throws to put
Middleton ahead, 72-70.
Murphy then made a nifty hesitation move and basket to
stretch the Cardinals lead to
four.

Murphy then drilled four

straight free throws as
Middleton built a 78-73 lead
with 33.3 seconds left.
Theyre a great team,
Murphy said of Arrowhead.
They played us really tough. I
knew they wouldnt go away.
They didnt.
First, Cunningham stuck a
25-footer that pulled the
Warhawks within 78-76 with
19.8 seconds remaining.
Fermanich then made 1-of-2
free throws with 17.1 left to
extend Middletons lead to
three.
Bavery told his team to foul
with less than 10 seconds
remaining and make sure it was
on a two-point shot. But
Seefeld made a nifty move and
enticed Murphy into fouling
him from behind the arc with
5.8 seconds left.
Seefeld, an 80% free throw
shooter, calmly drained the
first two foul shots. But his
third shot caromed off the back
iron and Middleton rebounded.
Hes the kid I want at the
line, Arrowhead coach Craig
Haase said of Seefeld. Im
proud of him and I told him,
You gave us a chance to tie the
game, because he double
pumped and got the kid in the
air. If he doesnt double pump,
we dont even have a chance to
tie it. He gave us that chance
and I thought that was huge.
Middleton wasnt free yet.
After Eady made a pair of
free throws with 3.9 seconds
left, the Warhawks had one
final chance. Working the
length of the court, Arrowhead
brought a man to the middle of
the floor, who caught the
inbound pass, then hit

the right side. Cunningham got

a look from the right wing and

buried the 28-footer, but it
came just a split second too
late.
It was close, Bavery said.
But he had a little hesitation
there or a bobble, which forced
him to shoot it a little late.
Weve been on the wrong
ends of those kinds of shots too
many times in the past. So it
was nice to escape for once.
This was the first of a twoyear series between the two
programs, with next years
game coming at Arrowhead.
And both sides agreed it was a
terrific test for both schools.
They were really good,
Fermanich said of the
Warhawks. They could definitely hang in the Big Eight.
Theyre long, theyre athletic.
That
quick
guard
(Cunningham), Wow! He could
get to the hole any time he
wanted. I think they could hang
with any of us.
Arrowheads Haase left just
as impressed with Middleton.
Theyre really good,
Haase said of the Cardinals.
Not only can they hit you with
big runs, they come really fast.

This was a great test for us.
Two of those runs Haase
talked about came early in the
game.
After the Warhawks scored
the opening basket, Middleton
went on a 16-2 run to take control early. Murphy had five
points in the burst, Eady added
four and reserve guard
Daydrian Spears knocked
down a three-pointer that gave
Middleton a 16-4 lead.
Arrowhead made five first
half three-pointers, though, and
closed within 29-27 with 2:10
left in the half. But Middleton
finished the half with 11
straight points including
seven from Murphy. Murphy
capped the burst by draining a
three-pointer from the left corner at the halftime buzzer to
give Middleton a 40-27 lead at
the break.
Middletons lead grew to as
high as 49-33 early in the second half, before the Warhawks
began chipping away to set up
the dramatic final minutes.
I was just telling the guys
not to panic, Murphy said.
Weve been through games

like this before and just needed
to keep our composure.
Middleton did just that. And
its perfect season is still intact.
Weve got a long ways to
go, Bavery said. This is a
great group and were having a
ton of fun. But hopefully,
weve got a lot more basketball
and a lot more big games like
this ahead of us.

Staples added 12 points.

East, a young and improving team that plays a bevy of
sophomores, got a game-high
17 points from sophomore
forward Erin Howard.
East hung around early and
trailed just 19-18 with 7:15
left in the first half. But
Middleton used a 12-3 run
over a stretch of 4:35 to take a
31-21 lead.
Bria Lemirande had four
points in the burst, while senior center Samantha Ballweg,
junior
forward
Carlee
Lemirande, freshman forward
Hannah
Flottmeyer
and
Thomas all scored as well.
That run helped Middleton
build a 37-28 halftime lead.
Theyve got a good team
and they play really hard,
Kind said of the Purgolders.
We really had to get after it.
The Cardinals certainly got
after it at the start of the second half, ripping off a 12-4
run over the first four minutes
to take a 49-32 lead.
Bria
Lemirande
and
Flottmeyer both had four
points during the surge, while
junior
forward
Taylor
McDonald and Staples both
scored two points.
The
lead
fluctuated
between 13 and 21 points over
the next nine minutes before
the Purgolders late run. While
Kind understands its human
nature to let your guard down
at times, that doesn't mean he
likes it.
Its just one of those
things where we have to keep
finding things to get better
at, he said. We need to keep
working to get better, because
we have to be a lot better the
next time we play the teams in
our league.
The second time through
the conference is always a lot
tougher and were finding that
out. So we cant relax or it
could hurt us down the road.

Middleton coach Steffon

Walby said. I never wouldve
thought playing Memorial
would have been our breakout
game, but the little added fire
that playing inner-conference
teams can add certainly
allowed us to succeed and get
to
winning.
back
Middleton jumped to a 3-0 lead
in the first period.
Jordan Hylbert struck first
with an even strength goal on
an assist from Alex Nisbet at
4:24. Colin Butler scored at
6:48 on assists from Justin

Engelkes and Nolan Kouba to
make it 2-0.
Griffin Gussell then scored
on assists from Jake Livesy and
Hylbert at 11:46 to make it 3-0.
Butler scored a power play
goal at 3:22 in the second period to make it 4-0. Then midway through the third period,
Casey Harper scored a power
play goal on assists from Butler
and Engelkes to make it 5-0.
Middleton goalie Tony
Wuesthofen finished with 14
saves and notched the win.

I think the secret to success
is having good habits and to
execute them on a daily basis,
Walby said. Not only do you
have to work hard in practice,
but you also have to be prepared mentally to work hard
every day that you show up at
the rink. I think our squad got
away from that, which allowed
them to cherish the times that
they were winning.
On deck: Middleton is at

Thursday at Hartmeyer Ice

Arena at 8 p.m. The Cardinals

We only have five games
left in our schedule, but there
are really going to be a few
testers in there, Walby said.
Not playing as many games in
the last few weeks will help us
be rested going into the playoffs.
