The Middleton Town Board ac-cepted the 162-acre Erdman propertyfrom the city of Middleton Monday

without getting the long term condi-tions they had sought to prevent it fromleaving the town again.

In behalf of Erdman Real EstateHoldings, Inc. (EREH), attorneyRobert Procter agreed that the 162-acreproperty cannot be annexed back intothe city for three years. Two weeks agothe board told other Erdman represen-tatives that it would accept the propertyonly if EREH paid the town $1 millionif it ever annexed the property backinto the city. Also, the property couldnot be subdivided unless a primary ac-cess point was created in addition toSchwartz Rd., a public road with a pri-vate railroad crossing.

No mention was made Mondaynight of the $1 million re-annexationpenalty.

Both the board and Procter agreedthat development was unlikely to occurunless the Erdman property had an ac-cess point in addition Schwartz Rd.However, the board could not get Proc-tor to agree to that as a condition of re-attachment to the town.

The Erdman property was annexedinto the city in 2011 with the agree-ment that it would be detached if theparties could not come to an agreement

on how to develop it. When Erdmanlost enthusiasm last year to push for-ward its Pleasant View Ridge rural sub-division, Erdman asked to be detachedfrom the city, Procter said.

The city would have had to pay Erd-man $750,000 in liquidated damages ifthe city did not detach the property,said Procter.

The city council approved a detach-ment ordinance in February.

Addressing the boards reluctance totake back the property at its March 2meeting, Town Chair Milo Breunigsaid he wished Erdman would havediscussed development possibilitieswith the board before seeking to annexto the city

I guess I vented at the last meet-ing, he said.

Procter said Erdman had nothing toapologize for to the board as it was justtrying to maximize the value of theland it had held for decades.

Adjacent property owners Jim Willsand Wayne Rounds both urged theboard to re-attach the Erdman property.Wills said he would prefer to develophis 15 acres in the town but probablywould not if the Erdman tract remainsin the city.

Rounds said taking back the Erdmanproperty would generate some propertytax revenue for the town and it was ar-rogant not to take any.

Procter said there are no plans to de-velop the property now.

The property will continue to haveaccess problems as it bordered on thenorth by railroad tracks and an activegravel mine, wetlands on the west andthe golf course and its steep drivewayon the south.

The board also approved spending$300, half of the cost, of a MiddletonHigh School students plan to create aPanda Ball pit this summer in a townpark to be designated later.

Alec Hansons Eagle Scout projectwould construct a 17-foot diameter, 30-inch-tall wooden wall enclosing a sandpit.

Panda Ball is also known as GaGaBall. The object of the game is to hitopponents below the knee with a light-weight spongy or foam ball. Ten ormore players can participate at a time,said Hanson, 15.

The more the merrier, said JeffHanson, Alecs father.

Its like dodgeball, said DeputyClerk Sara Ludtke who added that her

daughters were ecstatic to learn thetowns Park Commission was consid-ering Hansons project.

The game is touted as being enjoy-able for kids of all ages, sizes and ath-letic ability. The games are fast pacedand last only a few minutes so playerseliminated in one game are soon backin the pit playing again.

Level sites are being considered inSettlers Prairie Park or Pioneer Parkfor the Panda Ball pit.

Hanson said he will raise funds forhalf of the projects $600 cost andwants to complete construction by Sep-tember.

The board also approved renumber-ing three addresses on the west side ofPleasant View Rd. at the request of thecity of Madison. Adopting the citysnumbering system makes it less con-fusing for emergency responders, saidtown administrator David Shaw.

The changes include renumber-ing: 4081 N. Pleasant View Rd. to 818N. Pleasant View Rd.; 4073 N. Pleas-ant View Rd. to 810 N. Pleasant ViewRd.; 4022 N. Pleasant View Rd. (FirstGerman Lutheran Church) to 703 NPleasant View Rd.

Forging a new life after tragedyAs the legendary phoenix rose from

ashes, so has Catherine Zdeblick gonethrough fire and forged a new life.

I measure life in terms of tragic an-niversaries, explained the mother offour. In 2004, the death of her eldestdaughter, a Middleton High Schooljunior, from a drug overdose, in 2005,her own cancer diagnosis, in 2008, thedeath of her eldest son from an un-known health condition.

All the wheels on the bus fell off,she said.

Yet, after admittedly and under-standably being derailed by multipletraumatic events in a matter of years,Zdeblick turned her pain and sufferingtoward something positive. Initially,she spoke to students at local highschools, as well as parents and medicalprofessionals, about the dangers ofsubstance abuse, how it has changed,what to look for, and the ease of pur-chasing drugs, she said. Zdeblick andher message were featured on T.V.,radio and in print.

I didnt want anybody else to gothrough what I went through, she said.

Then, she suddenly found herself ina fight for her own life. Yet, the direprognosis galvanized her. After treat-ment and while in recovery, she knewshe needed to put her efforts towardlaunching AJ, her son with autism.

In 2007, AJ enrolled in EdgewoodColleges new endeavor, the CuttingEdge program. Six young adults withdisabilities took classes on study andsocial skills, as well as another collegelevel class. In AJs case, art. Facultyprovided mentoring, if necessary. Theinaugural year went so well for the ed-ucators, the special needs students andgeneral student body, that the programcontinued, Zdeblick said.

While attending Edgewood, AJ livedoff-campus with a caregiver. Independ-ent living was not typical for studentswith autism.

AJ blossomed, Zdeblick stated.Not only did he learn in class and frombeing integrated into college social ac-tivities, he gained valuable life andproblem solving skills, such as takingthe bus. His social skills increased, his

self-esteem skyrocketed, and his artshowed a side of him and his abilitiesthat we never knew existed, she said.

AJ could paint what he could notwrite because of dysgraphia the in-ability to take words from the mind andput them on paper.

Then tragedy struck again. At thestart of his third semester, AJ unexpect-edly died. Memorials were donated toCutting Edge. Although she followedthe development of the program, Zde-blick was not involved financially withit for five years. All that changed in2014, when she met with EdgewoodCollege leadership and took a tour ofthe campus.

It was a perfect match, Zdeblicksaid. In a matter of days, she decidedto donate $500,000 to help fund a newdormitory. An anonymous donor con-tributed a dollar-for-dollar match,bumping the gift to one million dollars.

Edgewood College President Dr.Scott Flanagan declared, This gift en-sures that there will be residence hallspaces, appropriately designed to meetthe needs Cutting Edge students oftenhave, available in the Regina Hall ex-pansion. For these students, the oppor-tunity to stay on campus creates aneven deeper sense of engagement anda fuller learning experience.

Rooms for at least three CuttingEdge students will be available everyyear in perpetuity.

That was key, Zdeblick noted. Iwanted to give to other families whatwe saw happen with AJ, the blossom-ing from being independent.

Cutting Edge provides validation, acan-do focus, and a way for studentswith extra challenges to reach their po-tential, Zdeblick said, sometimes sur-prisingly so. Dormitory life offers whatevery college student wants: independ-

ence. One persons independence af-fects the whole family, she observed.

Cutting Edge serves students withintellectual challenges and other devel-opmental disabilities, such as Downsyndrome, autism spectrum, traumaticbrain injury and cerebral palsy. Whengiven a chance, students with these dis-abilities prove they are able to learn,and this translates directly into hope forthe future and greater chances for em-ployment, Zdeblick said.

Cutting Edge is like sunshine,Zdeblick exclaimed. Its changinghow a whole culture views kids withdisabilities. They wont be shut downat 21 and warehoused or forgottenabout, theyre given a shot to move for-ward.

Groundbreaking for the new dormi-tory is planned for spring 2015. At thattime, Zdeblick plans to release thename she has chosen for a wing honor-ing AJ, she said.

Besides financial commitment, Zde-blick devotes time and energy to enter-prises that focus on capability andempowerment. She currently serves onthe boards of Tellurian, a substanceabuse services non-profit, and ConnectHouse, a residence for young womenrecovering from substance abuse.

Zdeblick has successfully employedvarious tactics in her quest to help oth-ers either combat substance abuse orprovide higher education for studentswith disabilities.

Everybody matters, thats why I doit, Zdeblick concluded. You neverknow (the impact). Like one ripple ina pond, that goes and goes and goes.

As in many homes, Zdeblick has awall of family photos and her chil-drens artwork, among them the self-portraits her deceased children hadpainted. Two lives that ended young,but whose embers still glow throughtheir mothers words and actions.

When the first phase of ParmenterCircle was built in 2007, it was the 1stCertified Green Multi-family Buildingin the State of Wisconsin. Phase two,the new landmark 74 unit luxury apart-ment building, complements the firstcomplex and continues the developersdedication to sustainable, or greenconstruction.

Although Green Certification pro-grams define green building in slightlydifferent ways, all include the follow-ing as either requirements or recom-mendations: energy efficiency,durability, indoor environmental qual-ity, water efficiency, efficient use ofmaterials and resources, waste reduc-tion, sustainable site development, andwalkable communities.

Focus on Energy Design Assistanceprogram representative, DoreneSchink, said that she worked with de-velopers Robert Gake and RobertSchwarz on the project. Long beforeconstruction began, she helped to cre-ate a virtual version of the apartmentbuilding.

The Design Assistance model, cus-

tomized for size, layout, and localweather data; simulated Parmenter Cir-cles energy usage. It then generatedseveral energy-use scenarios. This freeanalysis allowed the design team tochoose more energy-efficient buildingstrategies for their project.

The new luxury apartments, de-signed by Middleton-based, Knothe &Bruce Architects, at the ParmenterStreet roundabout contain large photo-voltaic solar panels that will send elec-tric kilowatts into the buildingselectric panel, to power all the commonarea lighting, air conditioning units, ap-pliances, etc.

In addition to the solar panels, thebuilding also boasts: high-efficiencyheating and cooling systems and waterheaters; LED lighting in commonareas; EnergyStar appliances, extra in-sulation and high performance win-dows to reduce winter heat loss andsummer heat gain; and improved ven-tilation.

The building is also on the bus routeto Capital Square and only two blocksfrom Downtown Middleton.

Developer Robert Gake addressedthe gathering, saying that this projectfits in with Middletons vision of well

constructed, beautiful and sustainablebuildings.

Mayor Kurt Sonnetag congratulatedthe developers on the project and saidthat he was looking forward to its com-pletion and its addition to the tax rolls.

The Parmenter Circle property is inone of Middletons Tax Increment Dis-tricts. John Lehman, Finance Directorand Assistant City Administrator,worked with the city council and thedeveloper to provide public assistancein the form of TIF (tax increment fund-ing) for the new phase of apartmentconstruction.

According to both Lehman andMayor Sonnetag, Parmenter Circlesfirst phase was a milestone develop-ment in the Citys long-term redevel-opment of the former Highway 12corridor, from the roundabout to Air-port Road. It replaced an old roadsidehotel.

Middleton has been robust and cre-ative in its use of tax increment financ-ing. Typically, projects like the one atParmenter Circle are finished in tenyears or less. Financial returns to thecity funds continue long into the future,not only directly through taxes, butalso by bringing more residents to the

city who will support local businesses.The City of Middleton and Par-

menter Development have a $1.2 mil-lion tax increment financingagreement, which facilitated a loan inthat amount from Wisconsin Bank andTrust. That loan is secured by futuretax payments on the increment.

TIF funding provides scaffolding forinvestors to develop unused or under-used areas as well as increase the taxbase for a community. Vertical struc-tures, like Parmenter Circle that areaesthetically pleasing, have a highlevel of sustainability, and providequality homes are a win-win situationfor the city.

Beautiful aesthetics run through thenew Parmenter Circle building. Lux-ury finishes including granite andquartz countertops, stainless steel ap-pliances, and wood plank flooring willbe featured in every apartment. Allunits have spacious patios or decks.

Each unit will also have a built-inmicrowave, walk-in closets, in-unitlaundry and nine and ten foot ceilings.Unit options include studio, one-bed-room, one-bedroom with den and two-bedroom apartments.

Weve included the most desirable,contemporary apartment features foractive singles, families and empty-nesters, said Schwarz.

Shared areas include heated under-ground parking, a club room with fire-place and kitchen, fitness room, bicyclestorage and repair space, and a car andpet washing area.

According to Gake, both ParmenterCircle apartment complexes will be runby the best professional managementteam in Wisconsin. Oakbrook Corpo-ration, a Madison-based company, willoperate both units. They currentlymanage over 8,300 market rate and af-fordable apartments in 118 develop-ments in Wisconsin, Iowa and Illinois.

Parmenter Circle will have 12 stu-dio, 28 one-bedroom, 11 one-bedroomwith a den and 23 two-bedroom apart-ments. The two-bedrooms are over1,150 square feet and have two bath-rooms. Monthly rents range from$825-$1,465.

The complex is expected to be fin-ished by August 2015. Interestedrenters may contact [email protected].

Dan Hirchert, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, will leadthe presentations. He is the DNRs Urban and Nuisance Wildlife Spe-cialist.

Whether you live in a city or a rural part of Wisconsin, wild animalsare your neighbors. They naturally fear humans and keep their distance-so long as they remain fully wild. Most wild animals will not bother you.However, many species have adapted and thrived despitehuman devel-opment. In some cases they have done so well that they compete withhumans for resources and are involved in conflicts.

School board members have nowweighed in on the discussion the dis-tricts newly formed compensationcommittee has been mulling over forweeks. Throughout the state, schooldistricts have been developing and im-plementing new compensation modelsto try and stay competitive but also ad-just to the cuts in state aid in recentyears and further cuts expected.

The compensation committee re-viewed dozens of models that are in

place in districts around the state. Theschool board focused on two modelsthat emphasized different values butthat seemed applicable to Middleton-Cross Plains.

The Sun Prairie Area School Dis-trict has moved to a simplified sched-ule where there is basically abachelors lane and a masters lane,explained Tabatha Gundrum, Directorof Employee Services. There is a$2000 add on for teachers who havenational board certification, a very rig-orous process that several teachers inMiddleton have achieved.

In the Sun Prairie model teachers

must earn 60 points to move forwardon the salary schedule. Fifteen pointsare equal to a credit hour of profes-sional development. Points can be at-tained by other achievementsdetermined by the school board.

Their new schedule now caps out ata lower salary and the district has 27people who are already over the sched-ule. Those people will not see a salaryincrease but may receive some othertype of benefit determined by theboard.

Black River Falls model is an ex-ample of a slightly different approach.Their model features multiple levels

with a bigger gap between those levels,but smaller increments along the way.People can move along but wont earnan increase in pay until a certain num-ber of years pass or a new level of at-tainment is reached.

A couple school board memberswho also serve on the compensationcommittee addressed concerns withthis model. They say it could keepsome salaries stagnant until teachersaccomplish certain things that wouldbe required, which could be harder forsome to achieve than others.

Aside from the complexities of de-veloping a new model, the schoolboard and administration must alsomake the transition to it, which alonehas several challenges.

Gundrum said most districts justswitched employees to a new schedule,

but that there have been unintended cir-cumstances. She explained that thesalary schedules wont align exactlyand that the district cannot bump teach-ers down. They must go up to the nextclosest level or make some kind of dealwith the district.

Gundrum said in doing rough calcu-lations many teachers would bebumped to a higher salary and it couldcost the district an additional $300,000in compensation.

The challenge is currently there are570 data points spread this way andthat way and they have to go some-where, said assistant superintendentGeorge Mavroulis. So we are goingto be living with this spread for a longtime no matter, we can look five to

The Middleton-Cross Plains Boardof Education last week reviewed fivebids the district received for health in-surance coverage. To the surprise ofadministrative staff, the district couldsave nearly$300,000 without changingplans.

Superintendent Don Johnson, Direc-tor of Employee Services Tabatha Gun-drum and Fiscal Services manager LoriAmes shared the latest information onhealth insurance costs for 2015-16 withthe board.

It has been a number of years sincewe actually put it out for bid and wethought given all the things that arehappening right now it would be goodto make sure what we have in terms ofpremiums and programs we are beingcompetitive, Ames explained. I didnot expect the numbers that we got.

Of the five bids, administration nar-rowed the choices down to Dean andUnity. Gundrum noted 70 percent ofemployees currently use Unity and 30percent use Dean. From there, theycame up with three scenarios for theboard to consider. The scenarios areflexible and can be altered, howeverAmes told the board from what wasbudgeted, every scenario spends less.

The District originally budgeted$800,000 for an expected ten percentincrease in health insurance next year.Gundrum pointed out that negotiationsare still taking place and the board islooking at soft numbers until a fewmore things are finalized.

Conceptually we are looking atclose to $300,000 in savings from whatwe budgeted even if we stay the same,Gundrum said. We put into thebudget a ten percent increase. In theoriginal budget we set $800,000 for theincrease and this bid came in approxi-mately $300,000 less.

Ames said Dean is offering no rateincrease for 2015-16 and a rate cap forthe two years after that. Unity offereda 9 percent increase and didnt offerany rate cap.

Administrative staff inquired abouta single provider but found that Deansbid was less competitive. Ames sug-gested the reason was because Deanwould see more claims with every em-ployee under one plan.

The board was favorable to the firsttwo scenarios below, but also wants ad-ministration to seek employee inputbefore making a decision.

Scenario 1: stay with a two providerplan: The district currently pays 88 per-cent of what a family policy costs,while employees pay 12 percent. John-son pointed out the district paid almost$1,100 more for employees who tookUnity family premium this past year.Under this scenario, the District wouldpay $527,000 more in health insurance

next year and employees who useUnity would pay $321 more annually.

Scenario 2: stay with two-providerplan but change the districts contribu-tion): The District would pay 88 per-cent of lowest cost family plan. Thiswould result in the District paying$440,000 less next year than it cur-rently is. However, employees wouldhave to pay more than $2,600 annuallyto stay with Unity.

Scenario 3: switch to a soleprovider: Ames said the District wouldsee some savings if Dean was the soleprovider but not as much as in Scenario2. This would also result in a larger ex-pense for employees.

Board member Diane Hornung saidshe feels teachers should know howmuch the district could save by em-ployees migrating to Dean.

Creating a change creates angst forpeople and I completely get that, Hor-nung said. I would like to tell people

that they dont have to change doctorsor plans, but the simple law of con-sumer science is that if you want some-thing more expensive you have to payfor it.

Hornung suggested telling employ-ees that the savings could be con-tributed to salaries. Johnson asked thatthe make a more concrete decision inhow to present the options.

Asking them if they want us to paymore for insurance they use and askingto use savings to increase salary aretwo very different things, Johnson re-marked.

Given most districts are expectingcuts in the next state budget, the newsof savings seemed to offer relief to theboard and administration.

Were looking at some goodchoices versus what we were lookingat a couple weeks ago. Im feeling a lotbetter about our budget, board presi-dent Bob Green said.

Bauer providesvaluable insight

Dear editor,

I write in support of Anne Bauer forthe Middleton-Cross Plains AreaSchool District (MCPASD) Board ofEducation. I served with Anne as aschool board member, and can attestshe provides the valuable insight of askilled educator, the initiative to studythe important issues in advance, andthe hands-on investment of a parentconcerned with the quality of theschools her children attend.

Bauer is without question the mostqualified member on the MCPASDBoard of Education today, possessingadvanced degrees in education andclassroom teaching experience. Sheworks with the district administrationstaff and educators, hands-on, to under-

stand the difficulties our schools facein this time of tight budgets and in-creasing challenges.

Bauer studies the policy issues inadvance and brings her expert thinkingto every school board meeting. Duringboard discussions she translates the is-sues to other board members, asks theright questions, and gets into theneeded details impacting our children.Her experience, persistence and senseof vision ensure the right decisions aremade.

She consistentlyspeaks with the experienced voice ofsomeone who knows the educationsystem inside and out, and providesthis unique perspective to the better-ment of the community. She is an ex-traordinary person serving thecommunity in the right place at theright time.

Great enthusiasmfor Tia Eady

Dear editor,

It is with great enthusiasm that wewrite this letter in support of Tia Eadyin the upcoming School Board electionscheduled for April 7. Tia is alwayswell-prepared, listens carefully andunafraid to ask questions getting to theheart of the issues. She often thinks ofcreative approaches that culturally andsocially responsive to all.

Tia has been instrumental in sup-porting children, teachers and admin-istrators both in Middleton, CrossPlains and Madison as she listens tostaff and works collaboratively withthem while assisting the classroom,volunteering for field trips, or instruct-ing Problem Solvers class. In her roleas a parent in the community, she tire-lessly advocates for the measure in thedistrict. As parents of two AfricanAmerican boys, we have great confi-dence in Tia and her ability to galva-nize families around issues that matterin ways that dignify people and invitethem to work as partners. We also ad-mire Tia and her husband, Ray, for theways in which they engage their sonsand work with teachers, administratorsand coaches to provide the best aca-demic and social experiences possiblefor them and their peers.

Middleton is currently 25% minorityand projected grow to 40% in the next5 years. To appropriate represented thestudent population, the School Boardmembers should be diverse as well. Asa contributor to the Race to Equity re-port and member of the Race to Equity

team, Torry understands the critical im-portance of fair and equal representa-tion. As a teacher educator, Maishaalso understands how important it is tohave someone like Tia in the forefrontof school leadership.

Middleton needs the voice that Tiawill bring to the school board that of abusiness woman involved in interna-tional business, an involved parent whohas already added value to the districtand a person of color who knows first-hand the struggles skin color.

Tia works hard to provide our stu-dents with opportunities. She is alsoMiddeltons best recruiter. She speakshighly of Middletons schools and thecommunity. It brings us great pleasureknowing that her experience in DaneCounty has been great. We hopeyoull join us in supporting Tia Eadyon April 7.

Sincerely,Lawrence Torry Winn

Bauer has heartand tenacity

Prior letters have been published onAnne Bauers strong professional qual-ifications for reelection to the MC-PASD school board, including herbackground in classroom instruction,previous board experience and finan-cial stewardship as treasurer. As com-plement to these qualifications, I wouldlike to share with you why Annesheart, tenacity and values further suither for the role.

I first met Anne ten years ago at aMiddleton Hills baby group. She hadrecently moved here for her husbandsjob after several years teaching specialeducation in a diverse, low socioeco-nomic school district in Arizona.While there, Anne had many studentsperforming below grade level, includ-ing an especially challenged onenamed Michael. Working one-on-onewith Michael during and after schoolhours, Anne identified his strengthsand improved his academic perform-ance tenfold, putting him on a success-ful path. Also during that time, Anneworked evenings with a fellow teacherproviding instruction to a homeboundgirl, Ashley, who was battling sicklecell anemia in a crime ridden neighbor-hood. As Ashley grew sicker, Annesdedication to her education didnt re-lent. Sadly, Ashley succumbed to herillness. On the day of the funeral, therewas just one vase of flowers. Theywere from Anne, whose heart knowsno limits when caring for disadvan-taged kids.

Seeking continued involvement withhigh need kids while busy parentingher own children in Middleton, Annejoined the CASA (Court AppointedSpecial Advocates) organization as avolunteer in 2004. In this difficult role,Anne made recommendations on thebest permanent homes for abused andneglected children. Knowing the im-

portance of her recommendations,Anne took the time to get to know thechildren, their parents and relatives,teachers, social workers and others.Many times the family members werecriminals or drug users living in highlyprecarious situations, but Anne neverlet fear stand in the way of makingtough decisions in the best interest ofher children. Nor will she let it standin the way when deciding whats bestfor ours.

During her tenure on the schoolboard, the board has faced many chal-lenging decisions, several of whichhave been inevitably unpopular withselect students and parents. I onceasked Anne whether she worries aboutbeing disliked, to which she immedi-ately replied, not even for a minute.What Anne does worry about, is mak-ing our teachers and school administra-tors feel valued and supported,protecting our budget, strengtheningour curriculum and closing theachievement gap, all of which she willcontinue to tenaciously pursue if re-elected.

As a parent, taxpayer and extremelyproud friend, I ask you to please joinme in reelecting Anne Bauer on April7.

We need Eadysstrong voice

For the past nine years I have had aclose relationship with the Eady fam-ily. It started when our sons played bas-ketball together and I helped thembuild their home in Middleton. Wehave had countless hours of conversa-tion regarding education, community,family and legacy.

She has always had a strong voiceand she is not afraid to speak up forwhat she believes in. We need peoplelike her on our school board. Peoplewho have a different perspective andchallenge our leaders to keep solvingcomplex problems and service as vi-sionary thinkers. Tia brings a uniquebackground and professional skill setsthat will be an asset to our schoolboard. Although she is able to stand herground she also works as a projectmanager, guiding groups of people tocollaborate on a myriad of tasks.

Tia Eady is passionate about makinga difference. She was raised by amother who volunteered and advocatedfor black womens rights in order toleave a legacy and Tia wants to leave alegacy of her own. As a former teacherfor the Middleton-Cross Plains schooldistrict, I support her focus on improv-ing the Achievement Gap.

We need Tia Eady as a school boardmember. If we have a school board oflike-minded people we are probablynot serving all students well. We needstrong, well versed, forward thinkers,who are committed to our communityand Tia has certain shown me that sheis all of those for more than nine years.When Tia told me she was running forschool board I was happy for her andour community.

William Fox

Kidston, Fox and Rapacz all achieve scoutings highest status

seven years out but it is going to take along time to get to something radicallydifferent and that is the reality.

On a whole other note, board mem-ber Terry Metzger said the districtshould reconsider the range of salaries.He pointed out the base level salary is$38,000 and top of the salary schedule$67,000. Metzger asked if anyonecould point to another industry wherethe range was so great for someonestaying in the same position.

Gundrum countered Metzger by ex-amining the differences between theprivate sector and teaching. She said

in her private sector experience peopleget salary increases by taking differentpositions or jobs, teaching careers havea more long term structure.

Metzger also asked his colleagues ifan employee with a masters degreeshould be paid more if the job does notrequire it. He suggested making a sep-arate salary schedule just for the jobsin the district that do require a mastersdegree.

Board member Anne Bauer said theproposal undervalues masters degreesand that it is not fair to teachers whoearned their degree in under the former

system.Board President Bob Green and

Metzger shared anecdotes of teacherswho were let go or not hired becausethe had PhDs or masters degrees inIllinois and Georgia.

That ship has already sailed, boardmember Diane Hornung remarked.

Board member Leeanne Hallquistsaid she has heard from many teachersthat they earned their masters to get araise. She said of the district could stillvalue advanced degrees but offerteacher more alternatives for salary in-creases for teachers with a bachelors.

In a teacher survey the number onething valued by teachers is advanceddegrees. Gundrum said that is proba-bly the case because it always has beeny the district. She said about 40 per-cent of MCPASD teachers have a mas-ters degrees.

Superintendent Don Johnson notedthe forty percent are the more veteranteachers closer to retirement, whereasthe 60 percent with bachelors are thenewer and younger teachers.

Board president Green said ulti-mately the schedule is going to be setup to average a 1 to 1.5 percent raiseper year with current state funding. Headded that if other funding comes indown the road teachers may get alarger increase. Gundrum said one to1.5 is workable because some teacherswill be alright staying where they arefor a few years if they have other thingsgoing in in their lives, while others canmove ahead.

teaching experience in both generaland special education settings.

As a parent, I have been a weeklyclassroom support and special eventsvolunteer for many years, Bauershared. This experience has given mean opportunity to develop relation-ships, as well as to understand the chal-lenges our educators face on a dailybasis. Currently, I serve as board treas-urer, which gives me unique perspec-tive on the districts finances. I havealso served our community as a trainedvolunteer in the role of Court Ap-pointed Special Advocate (CASA) forabused and/or neglected children ofDane County.

Eady said she is running for office tobring a different and needed perspec-tive to the board with respect to the dis-tricts goals around diversity andstudent achievement.

Bauer said she is seeking re-electionbecause her three years on the boardhave taught her that working throughchallenges for the best interest of mychildren and yours is never done.

I have experience to draw fromnow, allowing me to be a better boardmember with each issue I face, Bauersaid. I have gained the respect ofmany fellow board members and wasselected by them to serve as board

treasurer. This role has been a work inprogress for me as I have taken on thetask of learning school funding.

According to Eady, the districtsbiggest challenge today is operatingwithin the current state funding for-mula following unprecedented cuts.

Eady wants to grapple with thosecuts, while finding ways to closeachievement gaps and support careersof the future.

We have students with high absen-teeism, reading challenges, and pooracademic performance, Eady ex-plained. Our district needs expandedprograms and ongoing staff develop-ment to effectively prepare all studentsfor success.

Our students careers will be verydifferent than the careers of today,Eady continued. As community lead-ers, we need to better prepare our stu-dents with 21st Century skills requiredfor future positions.

Bauer believes the board needs tocontinue to address our districtsachievement gap and determine whatactions are working most effectively.

We need to support our staffthrough these many changes: TeacherEffectiveness evaluation process,Common Core, Badger Exam, etc.,said Bauer. We need to move forward

in developing a new compensationmodel for our teaching staff in order toaccurately express what a teacher canexpect in salary on an annual basismoving forward.

School funding will definitely havean impact on our budget, Bauer con-tinued. She added that the board willneed to be vigilant in maintaining aninclusive handbook process for em-ployees.

Both Eady and Bauer believe thedistrict is doing many things right.

Our school board and administra-tion work hard to ensure they make de-cisions in the best interest of theMiddleton-Cross Plains Area stu-dents, said Eady. Our children areour biggest asset and number one pri-ority. Most recently, the work on em-ployee handbooks has paved the wayto show commitment and build trustwith our staff. We have an enviable ad-ministrative team and outstandingteachers who need the boards ongoingsupport.

The district leadership team hasdone a great job supporting the site-based decisions on addressing achieve-ment gap issues while maintainingdistrict wide approaches such as imple-menting and maintaining the commu-nity 4K programs and the DistrictEquity Leadership Team (DELT),added Bauer. Our leadership team hasselected and hired a very talented

teaching staff. Our students are held toa very high standard and our staff hasdone an amazing job working with stu-dents to realize those successes. Fi-nally, our district leadership team hasworked hard to promote our districtand highlight our strengths to the com-munity through district communica-tions on social media, school to parentemail, and through newspaper and tel-evision sources.

But there is always room for im-provement, and both candidates out-lined areas in which they believeMiddleton-Cross Plains Schools canimprove.

Eady declined to say what, if any-thing, the school board is currentlydoing wrong.

I look forward to offering newideas to expand the current programsto close the achievement gaps and tofurther address 21st Century skills,Eady said.

Bauer, on the other hand, said shehoped to improve a strained relation-ship between teachers and district lead-ership.

In considering what is the ideal en-vironment for kids to learn, it is impor-tant to own the truth that we can alwaysdo better, said Bauer. Students thrivewhere the adults are engaged and mod-eling positive relationship buildingskills. The relationship between manyof our teaching staff and district lead-

ership is very strained. In my opinion,district leadership needs to be veryconscious of the need to nurture theserelationships in the process of movingbeyond the past. Our staff morale isquite low, as evidenced in the results ofthe survey last spring. Focus needs tobe placed on building trust and respect.I want our district leaders to be themodel for this behavior for the good ofour students.


Middleton Schools and Im very inter-ested in assisting our school districtmove to a higher level, Yu explained.As an educator, Im fully aware of thedifficulties and challenges facingtodays education. I enjoy reading re-ports that our students perform top inthe state and the nation, and I worrywhen I see the achievement gap stillexists. My unique background and ex-perience are complementary to the ex-isting board membership, and I believeI can make a contribution.

Smith said he wants to give backand help the district faces challengeson the horizon.

Im running because I am commit-ted to public education and believeservice on theschoolboard is a greatway to give back to my community,said Smith. I also believe the districtfaces many significant challenges inthe coming years and I want to be partof the team that addresses those chal-lenges.

According to Yu, the biggest of

those challenges will be tracking andretaining well-qualified faculty andstaff.

Human resource is the most impor-tant element in education, said Yu.My 4th grade daughter told me thatshe loves math because she loves herteacher. I think we can all identify mul-tiple important individuals in our livesand career who help shape us into theperson we are today I bet many ofthese individuals are teachers. We needto keep our existing talent and acquiremore talent in order to accomplish themission of the district.

Smith believes the greatest chal-lenge for the district will be financialin nature.

Without question, the biggest issuethe district faces is the budgetary chal-lenge presented by declining state aidrevenue, Smith said. Our district hasseen significant reduction in theamount of aid it receives and by all ac-counts that trend will onlycontinue.Declining aid causes greater

pressure on local taxpayers and threat-ens the districts ability to maintain theexisting programs that make our dis-trict great.The boards challenge willbe to find creative solutions to meet itsbudgetary issues while maintaining ed-ucational excellence.

He agreed with Yu about the need tofind and keep good educators in thedistrict. Our district needs to supportthe excellent teachers we already have,and attract a new generation of teachersfor our future, he said.

Smith also pointed to the districtswell-documented achievement gap.

I dont pretend to have all the an-swers on how to solve this complexproblem, but it is an issue that shouldconcern us all, he said. Our districtmust strive to helpall its students suc-ceed, without sacrificing existing pro-grams that have made our district ahigh-performing one.

Yu praised current district leadershipfor coping with an increasingly diffi-cult budget process. The district lead-

ership maintained a balanced budget inspite of declining state support andother fiscal challenges, she explained.A balanced and healthy budget allowsthe district to pursue its strategic goals.I can foresee more challenges in the fu-ture, and thats why I feel my financebackground can really help the districtto achieve its goals with limited re-sources.

Smith believes the district hasmuch to be proud of.

Ourschoolsare uniformly recog-nized as high performing and all of us parents, teachers and administration should be proud of that, he said.We also have been successful in at-tracting outstanding teachers andstaff. The construction of the newKromrey MiddleSchooland additionto Glacier Creek have been successes,both from an educational and budget-ary perspective.

When asked in what areas the dis-trict needs to improve, Yu pointed to

the sometimes-difficult relationship be-tween teachers and the school board.

[Much]] progress has been made toimprove the communication betweenadministration and teachers in the dis-trict, she said. Its a continuousprocess and all stakeholders need to beinvolved. Certainly more could be ac-complished in this area moving for-ward.

Smith also expressed concerns aboutthe issue.

While I believe the schoolboardand the administration genuinely careabout the well-being of our teachers,we must ensure that we listen to andsupport them and address morale is-sues where they exist, he said. Someof the best ideas for innovation and ad-vancement come from the teachers andstaff that work with our children everyday.The district should seek out andimplement their ideas, along with ideasfrom parents and families.

Japanese flavorin the GoodNeighbor City

If Middleton residents wanted to trysome of Brian Nis delectable, colorfulsushi 15 years ago, they would havehad to trudge aboard an airplane andtravel to Japan.

Had they wanted a taste a decadeago, they still would have had to maketheir way to New York, where Ni hadtaken his talents.

But today, they dont even have toleave their own area code. Ni and hisfamily have opened Takara88, an au-thentic Japanese restaurant, at 1900Cayuga St. Middleton.

The transformation undergone byboth the building and the menu must beseen to be believed.

We [were]interesting[in] this areafor [a] few years already, explainedErica Ni. Middleton really needed afine dining Japanese sushi restau-rant. Middleton has a lot [of] poten-tial.

People like to try newcuisine, shecontinued. We [are] all excited to behere.

If throngs of patrons are any indica-tion, the people who live and work inMiddleton are indeed happy to havethem here.

Takara 88 serves a wide array ofJapanese food, including everythingfrom udon and soba noodles to hi-bachi-grilled meats and seafood.

And of course, there is an abundanceof sushi, which ranges from simple toornate.

Brian been a chef for over 20years, said Erin. He likes to servehighqualityand fresh food. All of the

[ingredients] that we order are [the]bestqualityin the market.

In fact, she estimates Brian has mademore than 200 different types of sushiand other dishes over the past twodecades.

It was while living and working as achef in New York that Ni first visitedfamily members living in the Middle-ton area. According to Erica, he felt adesire to bring his skills here.

His family togetheropenedTakaraJapanese restaurant onState Street in 2002, she said. Theirlove [of] bringing a truly great diningexperience led them toopeningTakaraII on Whitney Way in2006 and a third location in Middletonin [the] end of 2014.

While is has only been open forthree months, members of thelunchtime crowd last week said theyare already devoted regulars. Sitting atthe sushi bar and watching the chefsdeftly prepare raw fish delights, or inlarger groups around the tables, cus-tomers could barely speak they were sobusy eating.

Erica Nis favorite menu items? [S]]hrimp tempura, oyster shooter

and mango tuna, she said. Or thePuppy Love roll, featuring golden tuna.Or the scallops teriyaki, seafood udonand filet mignon hibachi. Or salmon,yellowtail, sea urchin or kumamotooyster sashimi.

The menu is clearly too vast to selectjust one favorite.

Takarameans treasure in Japan-ese, and we hope to be just that in Mid-dleton, she said. We are a localfamily owned andoperatedrestaurant.We will try our best to support thecommunity.

ASHWAUBENON Leaving isnever easy.

Especially when youve pouredyour heart and soul into somethingtour entire high school life.

For Cole Jordee, though, at leastshe could take solace in the fact sheleft everything she had on the ReschCenter floor.

Jordee, a senior center forMiddletons girls basketball team,was certainly broken hearted that herCardinals dropped an 86-76 decisionto DSHA in a WIAA Division 1 statesemifinal last Friday.

But Jordee made her final game in

a Middleton uniform arguably thefinest of her four-year career. Jordeehad a team-high 18 points andgrabbed 10 rebounds in defeat.

At least I know I left it all outthere, Jordee said afterwards. Ofcourse, everyone is disappointed thatwe lost. But we gave it our best.

Jordee certainly saved her best forlast.

Jordee shot 6-of-11 from the floorand 6-of-9 from the free throw line.And of her 10 rebounds, five came onthe offensive end.

She was outstanding, Middleton

ASHWAUBENON Its simpleMath, really.

The kind that Middletons girlsbasketball team has been taught sincethe first grade.

5>1Or so we thought.But last Friday night, DSHA sen-

ior guard Arike Ogunbowale rippedup that formula. And for a briefstretch of time, one became greaterthan five.

Middleton had no answers forOgunbowale, who erupted for a staterecord 55 points in a WIAA Division1 state semifinal at the Resch Center.Because the Cardinals couldnt stopOgunbowale, she stopped their sea-son, as DSHA dealt Middleton an 86-76 overtime loss.

I still almost cant believe it,Middleton senior center Cole Jordeesaid. I mean, 55 points? Thatscrazy.

Crazy is right.The previous Division 1 state

record was held by former Middletonstandout Angie Halbleib, who erupt-ed for 44 points in 1993. The record regardless of division was heldby South Shores Jolene Anderson

See BOyS BB, page 19

Middletons boys basketball teamwas the surprise team of the BigEight Conference this season.

So it shouldnt have shocked any-one that the Cardinals were well-rep-resented on the all-conference team.

Middleton sophomore forwardTyree Eady was named second-teamall-league. Sophomore guard C.J.Fermanich was a third-team all-con-ference selection and senior centerIan Hokanson was named honorable-mention all-conference.

Middleton finished the season 17-7 overall and in third place in theleague at 13-5. Big Eight Conferencechampion Madison Memorial wasthe only other team with three play-ers named all-league.

Madison Memorial point guardShareef Smith was named theleagues Player of the Year. Smithwas joined on the first team byMadison East guard Deang Deang,Beloit Memorial guard KyanPleasant, Sun Prairie forward J.T.Ruffin and Verona guard WillKellerman.

Madison Memorials SteveCollins was named Coach of theYear.

Eady led the Cardinals in scoringwith 11.7 points and in steals (2.1).Eady shot 35.0% from three-pointrange, was Middletons leader infield goal percentage and finishedthird in rebounding (3.8).

Eady, an extremely smooth wingplayer, made huge strides in the pastyear. And Middleton head coachKevin Bavery expects Eady to beeven better next season.

Wild night! Above, there were several highs for

Emily Bergum (30), Katie Fermanich (15)and the rest of Middleton's girls basket-ball team last Friday. In the end, though,the Cardinals fell in overtime to DSHA ina WIAA Division 1 state semifinal game.

who had 46 points in a 2004Division 4 game.

But Ogunbowale rewrote therecord book in a game that will betalked about a generation from now.Unfortunately for the Cardinals, theywere on the wrong side of history.

We know were not going to shuther out or anything like that,Middleton coach Jeff Kind said. Butshe just kept going. So, I dont know.I think theres a lot of people wonder-ing how you stop her.

Middleton, which finished theyear 22-5, certainly couldnt.

The Cardinals brought in a playerfrom their boys program this week tosimulate Ogunbowale in practice.But Ogunbowale a Notre Damerecruit proved theres nothing likethe real thing.

Middleton, which uses up to 12players, was hoping to wearOgunbowale out as the game pro-gressed. Instead, Ogunbowaleseemed to wear down the Cardinals.

Middleton stayed man-to-man onOgunbowale the entire night. And bythe end, Ogunbowales path to thebasket was met with less and lessresistance.

While Ogunbowale is listed at just5-foot-9, shes extremely thick andpowerful especially in the lowerbody. And her strength definitelytook a toll on the Cardinals.

I think she probably did wear usout a little bit, Middleton seniorguard Elizabeth Norregaard said. Itmight have been nice to try and slowher down with a zone or something. Ijust think the physical part is some-thing we werent used to.

Middleton trailed, 72-69, in theclosing moments of regulation. ButNorregaard drilled a clutch three-point shot her only one of thenight with 22 seconds left to tiethe game.

Following a DSHA timeout, it gotthe ball to Ogunbowale. Middletonsent three defenders at Ogunbowaleand pushed her towards the right cor-ner, where she launched a 22-footerat the horn.

The ball hit off the back of the rim,though, and the teams went to over-time.

We knew she was going to takethe shot and tried to force her out tothe perimeter, Kind said. That wasthe best we could hope for. But whenwe got to overtime, she just tookover.

She sure did.Ogunbowale got to the basket with

ease and made her first three shots of

overtime. She also scored theDashers first 10 points of O.T., asDSHA used a 10-1 run over a stretchof 1:50 to pull away.

Middleton shot just 1-of-6 in theextra session, while DSHA went 4-of-5 from the floor and 6-of-6 at theline.

Jordee led Middleton with 18points and 10 rebounds, while sopho-more guard Bria Lemirande andNorregaard both added 11 points.

Ogunbowale shot 21-of-45 fromthe field and 10-of-11 at the line incompiling her state record 55 points.She also had 12 rebounds and fivesteals.

DSHA junior forward TaylorDrost added 21 points, while the restof the Dashers combined for just 10.

Amazingly, the game featured 20lead changes and 15 ties.

It was an amazing game, bothteams put on a show, said DSHAfirst-year coach Jeff Worzella, whoseteam has won 23 straight games andis 25-2 overall. Hopefully the peo-ple in attendance enjoyed it. It was anall-time type of performance tonight.Sometimes she gets in a zone and justtakes over.

The zone.Ogunbowale certainly agreed she

found herself in that magical placeFriday. Ogunbowales previouscareer-high was 41 points, but sheshattered much to the Cardinalschagrin.,

I was in the zone, really, soeverything is kind of a blur,Ogunbowale said. Its hard toexplain. Im just keyed in and reallyfocused. I just want to win.

Ogunbowale did everything possi-ble to ensure her team wouldnt lose.

The Cardinals raced to leads of 5-0 and 8-2, and held a 17-14 advan-tage late in the first quarter. After aMiddleton miss, Ogunbowale racedup court and launched a 35-footer atthe horn that went around the rim anddropped, tying the game at 17-17.

You think about that shot later onand how big it was, Kind said. Ifthat doesnt go in, maybe we dont goto overtime.

There were five ties and four leadchanges alone in the second quarter,and DSHA held a 32-31 advantage atthe break.

Ogunbowale was certainly domi-nant in the first half, when she scored20 points and grabbed sevenrebounds. But she shot just 7-of-21from the floor, and seemed to be tir-ing at stretches.

I really thought we could wear

her down, Jordee said. But it didnthappen.

Middleton began to gain someseparation in the third quarter, andused a 10-2 run to surge to a 43-36lead. Jordee started the fun with abasket, then Katie Fermanich drilleda three-pointer. After a basket byOgunbowale, Middleton senior for-ward Jenna Blair scored and sopho-more guard Alexis Thomas drilled athree-pointer.

That fast, Middleton had raced toa 43-36 lead with 5:03 left in the thirdquarter.

It felt good for a while, Jordeesaid. And then, I dont know whathappened. She just went off.

She sure did.Middletons lead grew to as many

as eight points late in the third quar-ter. And the Cardinals advantage wasstill 53-46 after an Alyssa Lemirandelayup to open the fourth quarter.

But DSHA answered with a 7-0burst to tie things at 53.

Once we got tied up after beingdown by eight, we just had to keep

taking it at them, Ogunbowale said.From there, neither team led by

more than three points the rest of reg-ulation. There were also six leadchanges and four ties in the final 6 minutes.

Middleton appeared to be in trou-ble late in regulation, beforeNorregaard drilled a clutch three-pointer.

Unfortunately for Middleton, thatsimply delayed the inevitable.

It would be nicer if we were onthe other side of the score, Kindsaid. But its a memorable game.Both teams played hard, both teamsplayed very well.
