One honorable achievement that the
Middleton Community Bank is very
proud of is its five-star superior rating from Bauer Financial Inc. The bank
has received this rating since 2012, and
it is the highest rating given by Bauer
Financial indicating that Middleton
Community Bank is one of the safest
financial institutions in the market.
A big change over the years for Middleton Community Bank was branching out to new locations.
The Belleville branch was originally
opened in 2008 in a local shopping
center on the north side, but when the
opportunity presented itself, the bank
was moved to Main Street in Belleville
and has been there ever since.
That same year in 2008, a branch
was opened in Brooklyn as well with
that office being expanded twice to
meet the communitys needs.
Three years later in 2011, the Sauk
Prairie Community Bank was opened
in Sauk City, and in 2013, the Cross
Plains Community Bank opened its
doors.

The Middleton Public Library has come a long way since its founding in
1927.
Pamela Westby: Capital improvements for the library have been on the
agenda of the library board for the
seven years that Ive worked here. But,
the economy took a dive and it went
off the priority list. Now, there are
pressing maintenance projects and
community needs that should be addressed.
In addition, the role of public libraries is changing. So, its those two
things that have made the library project a higher priority.
For example, when the library was
renovated in 2004, the story time room
was built for small intimate groups
which was what we had at the time.
But, it was so successful that we
quickly outgrew the space.
Since the renovation, circulation has
increased greatly, too. I calculated average daily usage for February of 2015,
which is not even the librarys busiest
month.
The average for a single day in February showed patrons borrowed 3,458
items from our collection, and 652
items, collected here, from other
LINKcat libraries.

Pippin at PAC

Middleton High School presents Pippin, the award-winning musical by Stephen Schwartz and Robert O.
Hirson April 30-May 2 in the Middleton Performing Arts Center (PAC). Tickets are available online at
www.middletondrama.org/ticketsor may be reserved by calling608-829-9770. The show begins at7:30with doors
opening at7 p.m. Tickets are $10 for adults and $8 for students/seniors. With over one hundred students participating
in this production, Middleton Drama is excited to bring this story to the stage.
The magic begins as the audience is welcomed to the show and promised intrigue, humor, romance, battles, and
a grand finale to rival all others. The ensemble cast sets the stage for the story of young prince Pippin who is on a
journey to find passion and live an extraordinary life. He seeks his place through experimenting with violent battle,
physical pleasure, and political power, but is ultimately left unfulfilled. Life changes when he meets a widow, Catherine, and her young son. As Pippin falls into a routine he finds himself again in conflict: should he choose the dazzling
spectacular or find contentment in the ordinary?

The EABs mission was expanded in
1957 when wise heads in the Legislature thought it would be a good thing
to include all state residents. Today it
gives annual fitness checkups to nearly
174 for-profit institutions and 78 outof-state nonprofit schools, with a total
enrollment of 60,000. They range from
large universities like Globe, the University of Phoenix and DeVry to specialized schools like the Sun Prairie
Diesel Truck Driving School.
Governor Walker is proposes, in the
name of deregulation, to eliminate the
EAB and scrub all of the standards for
schools that have been written into
state law.
Most if not all of the regulated
schools consider this a mistake. They
have come to see this board as a friend.
The annual EAB stamp of approval
gives them legitimacy and credibility.
It is a badge of quality that builds consumer confidence.

While I am very pleased with the accumulated accomplishments of the city
over the last three decades, and more
than a little proud to have had a very
small role in some of them, I have
come to realize that you, the younger
citizens of the community, are going to
have to live with the results far longer
than I am.
Its time for you to be involved with
that process, for yourself, for
your children. So again I say, what will
you do about it? All it takes in
most cases is an interest and a desire.

Though this deregulation it is billed
as reform, it will not save the state
money. On the contrary, it will cost
$105,500 a year. The EAB is selffunded through a fee paid by the regulated institutions. Ten percent of this
money, by law, must be directed to the
states general fund. A sum like
$105,500 isnt a lot, but when youre
facing a deficit every dollar should
count for the hard-working taxpayer shouldnt it?
We hope that cool heads will prevail
when the Joint Finance Committee
takes up the elimination of the Educational Approval Board and that this
misbegotten proposal will simply and
quietly go away.

helped 7,143 Girl Scouts sell 1.5 million boxes of cookies. Badgerland Girl
Scout volunteers ordered cookies,
scheduled booth sales, tracked the dollars and performed all the tasks necessary to make sure the cookie business
operated smoothly at the troop level.
And, somewhere in between, the volunteers made sure their Girl Scouts
were having fun and achieving their
goals while participating in this most
iconic of American girl programs. The
Cookie Program could not happen
without the amazing volunteers and
Girl Scout families who invest so much
time and energy to ensure its success.
Thank you Girl Scout volunteers for
modeling for your girls exactly what
leadership looks like!
This is what we can all accomplish
when we work together with a singular
mission: To build girls of courage, confidence and character who make the
world a better place. Thank you for
helping Girl Scouts achieve.

The districts fiscal services manager, Lori Ames, explained to the board
that because of a change the board
made last year in OPEB, the district
now provides a defined contribution
rather than a defined benefit.
Board President Bob Green said it
was great news because it would be
more than a one time savings. He
pointed out that the district would continue to see the savings year after

After several years without doing so,

Under the proposed state budget
there would be no increase in general

Not only are libraries providing programs and circulation, theyre engaging the community in public discourse,
in technology uses and in innovation.
So when we were doing the surveys,
recurring themes that came up were
more spaces for programming and
technology, technology upgrades and
options and more classes in technology.
For example, we can hold classes or
workshops for our 3D printer or for editing on laptops and then we have to
put those things in storage until there
is another session because we dont
have room in the lab.
Because of the cement floors, we are
very limited with where technology
can be placed in our building. It all relates to outlets.

scored Brennan Schmitt and pinch
runner Cris Mejias. Kouba singled
home Alan Roden and Monreal
ripped a two-run double. Bindl then
had an RBI single that plated
Monreal and made it 7-0.
Middleton held a 7-1 lead in the

Sun Prairie closed within 8-4 after

kept pouring it on.
In the fifth, Kouba doubled and
Monreal singled him home. FinleyHaag then had a one-out single to

Finley-Haag had a sacrifice fly and
