about poor planning.

south of US 14 about two
blocks, past a landscape busi-

field about one-half mile west
of Pleasant View Road.
The Wisconsin & Southern
Railroad parallels the highway
and crosses Schwartz Road just
south of US Highway 14.
The railroad notified the
town that the Schwartz Road
crossing would be closed from
April 23-26 while it is being re-

Although Schwartz Rd. is a
public road, the rail crossing
has been a private crossing
by designation of the state of

on a petition from the town,

Letter to the Middleton Senior Center Volunteers
Celebrating Volunteer Week April 15th - 21st, 2018
These words from Wendy Moore (Volunteer Coordinator
from Brisbane) are a reflection of our thoughts about our
volunteers at the Middleton Senior Center.
You may never know the profound effect that you may
have made on a person’s life. A kind word, a gentle
touch or a listening ear can mean so much to someone
who is sick, in pain or lonely. You generously give
your gift of time to make contact, provide support and
encouragement and perhaps provide humor to make
someone’s day a bit more bearable because you have
taken the time to care and to listen.
You give of yourself and bring with you your life
experiences, skills, abilities, compassion, intellect
and humor and ask for nothing in return yet you
receive friendship, appreciation and satisfaction.
You volunteer for many different reasons but for
whatever reason you volunteer, you provide support,
skills, talents and abilities to give someone hope and
strength and the courage to face another day. You do
not ask for accolades. You give your time generously
without any expectation of reward. Yet you receive
the reward of comradeship with other volunteers
who you may never have met otherwise. Lasting
friendships, social activities and fun may be just some
of the unexpected rewards that you gain from your
volunteering experience.
Please know that the staff genuinely appreciate and
value your commitment of time to volunteering with the
Middleton Senior Center and for this we thank you.

update...
WESTPORT–Local utility
companies began performing
underground and overhead util-
ity upgrades, along on County
Trunk Highway M, in the Town
of Westport the week of April
2. The utility improvements
are being completed to ac-
commodate the development
of a new subdivision for The
Community of Bishops Bay,
located along CTH M, between
Borcher’s Beach Road and
Oncken Road. Several utility
crews will be working along
CTH M for the next few weeks
in order to complete the work.
Contractors will also be re-
constructing a portion of CTH
M in the next few months, in
order to install new median is-
lands and turn lanes, to accom-
modate the entrance into the
new subdivision. Drivers can
expect to see travel lane shifts,
lower speed limits, and a detour
to accommodate the safety of
the workers. The proposed de-
tour will be scheduled at a later
date, and additional information
will be provided at that time.

32,000-square-foot GMP ana-
lytical laboratory supplements
the company’s existing biolog-
ics capacity and was constructed
specifically for the stability
and quality control testing of
large molecule drug products.
With space for more than
100 new employees, the lab
was designed with efficiency
in mind, containing special-
ized areas dedicated to par-
ticular types of assays and
scientific instrumentation
unique to biologics. The facil-
ity has met GMP regulatory
requirements, has been re-
leased for use, and is already
supporting new client projects.
“The expansion of our bi-
ologics testing, which nearly
doubles our analytical testing
capacity, enables us to meet
the ever-growing needs of our
clients for GMP testing of large
molecule products,” said Jon
Denissen, Ph.D., senior vice
president of the PPD Labora-
tories bioanalytical and GMP
labs. “From early clinical de-
velopment through commercial
release testing, clients rely on
our industry-leading capabili-
ties in large molecule product
testing. With deep expertise
that spans the full spectrum of
protein based and gene based
biologics, we support many
of the most cutting edge im-
muno-oncology, gene therapy
and cell therapy agents being
developed or marketed today.
PPD Laboratories is the lab-
oratory of choice for compa-
nies seeking high-quality data
for biologics regulatory sub-
mission and product release.”
The Middleton campus ex-
pansion also includes the reno-
vation of PPD’s existing cell lab,
which will double the capacity
for GMP cell-based assays.

Curve Shop
Pop Up
Zoe Schuler, owner of z.bella
boutique and body positive
blogger/stylist/model, Katrina
Simyab have partnered to give
area plus-size women another
way to access traditionally
hard-to-find fashionable plus-
size clothing.  Curve Shop is a
semi-annual plus-size pop-up
consignment sale. The Spring/
Summer Sale is scheduled
for April 14, from 10 a.m.-4
p.m. at the Courtyard by Mar-
riot, Madison West/Middleton.
The goal of Curve Shop Con-
signment Sale is to help women
find gently used plus size cloth-
ing that fits and flatters their
curves at affordable prices.
A recent study by the In-
ternational Journal of Fashion
Design, Technology and Ed-
ucation reported that the aver-
age American women is a size
16. Yet many clothing brands
don’t produce clothing above
a size 12 or 14. Average-sized
women have a difficult time
finding flattering, fun fashion
that won’t break the bank in
most popular clothing stores.
clothing at z.bella boutique,
we understand that finding
fashionable plus size clothing
can be very difficult,” said Zoe
Schuler, owner of z.bella bou-
tique. “We want to help area
women feel fabulous in their
clothing, no matter where they
find it. And we’re excited to
help consignors make a little
money for their gently used
clothing and hopefully they’ll
be able to use it to find even
more fabulous pieces.”
Attendees will be able to
shop a large selection of spring
& summer plus-size fashion
in women’s sizes 12 and up.
Curve Shop will provide a body
positive space for all attendees
and entrance is free.
“Shoppers can expect a safe,
welcoming and body-positive
shopping environment,” said
Katrina Simyab. “They will
find fashion that will work
with their bodies because every
item has already been worn and
loved by a beautiful plus-size
babe!”
Curve Shop’s non-profit
partner is Middleton Outreach
Ministry (MOM). They will
donate all unsold/unclaimed
clothing for the third time. To
date, Curve Shop has been able
to donate over 750 pounds of
clothing to MOM to help area
women and expect to donate
even more clothing this spring.

Inspire
Academy to
break ground
Inspire Academy will break
ground on the new childhood
learning center on April 12 at
3 p.m. The 23,000 sf build-
ing will be a unique education
experience to the Middleton/
Waunakee/ Westport area. The
Frank Lloyd Wright inspired
building is set on 40 acres
across from Governor Nelson
State Park.
Owner, Bob Davis said, “We
are thrilled to bring an amazing
new experience to area chil-
dren. Children’s first learning
experience should be rich, en-
gaging and captivating. Our
campus will have zoo animals,
five unique playgrounds, and
direct access to the 244 acres
of Governor Nelson State Park.
The facility will provide an
experience that will shape and
nurture the way children think
and feel about learning.”
The animals Davis mentions
include Zebra, Kangaroos,
Camels, an Aviary for a variety
of birds, and ring-tailed Le-
murs.  “Imagine not only being
able to read about a kangaroo
in a book but being able to see,
hear, smell and interact with
them daily. It’s an experience
to promote further curiosity, in-
terest, and imagination. “
Local architect, Jenny De-
chant, and her team at Icon-
ica designed the prairie style
school with natural elements
such as wide windows, stone,
wooden beams, and even
curves on both the inside and
outside of the building. Large
rooms for art, music, science,
and a gymnasium. Iconica will
also construct the facility with
groundbreaking in April and
finish in the fall. Dechant said,
“I have two small children of
my own. To design a school,
an imaginarium, if you call it,
in such a beautiful setting, has
been a fun and challenging role.
We’ve incorporated the natural
setting throughout the space,
and designed it for children to
truly play in.”
Davis has additional plans
for creative play areas. The
Construction Zone, Waterfall
Water Play Area, Jungle Gym,
Sports Field, and Inspiration
Town are currently being dis-
cussed. Davis has been looking
for a location for ‘Inspire’ the
last two years. “People here
value education and nature. We
hope that our unique school
will be a good fit with the com-
munity.

Tourism wins
an ADDY
The success of the Mid-
dleton Tourism Com-
mission’s summer 2017
promotion just keeps coming!
Not only did the “Why Mid-
dleton? Quiz and Sweepstakes”
grow the Visit Middleton Face-
book page and e-newsletter
subscriber lists by hundreds of
new potential visitors; it also
netted a Silver ADDY award
from the American Advertising
Federation for the promotion’s
outstanding website design.
“The quiz was a really fun
way to educate visitors about
the events and attractions the
city has to offer,” said Julie
K. Peterman, CMP, Middle-
ton’s Director of Tourism.
“The look was bright and
bold, the questions were en-
gaging; it was an effective,
easy-to-use tool that really
spoke to potential travelers.”
The Middleton Tourism
Commission will host four
promotions in 2018, with the
first already underway. The
“It’s Sweeter Here Sweep-
stakes” is offering up sweet

Getting to know the District 2 Alder

Robert Burck was appointed to fill Mayor Gurdip Brar’s vacated
council seat, then he ran unopposed for re-election this spring
W h e n
Gurdip Brar
won the
mayoral seat
in the City
of Middleton
last year, he
left behind
the District 2
City Council
seat he had Burck
occupied for
the better
part of a decade. The city coun-
cil appointed Robert Burck, a
local engineer, to fill the seat
until the next election. Voters
must be pleased with his work
so far, as no one chose to run
against Burck in the Spring
Election that took place last
week.
Despite the fact that the in-
cumbent was unopposed on the
ballot, both the Times-Tribune
and Burck felt this was an op-
portune time to get to know one
of the city’s alders a little better.
He answered all our questions
about development, taxes, city
services and more in this exclu-
sive Q and A.
 
Name: Robert Burck
 
Age: 48
 
Seat: Alderman representing
District 2
 
Bio: I am an engineer work-
ing for a company which de-
signs, manufactures and sells
stationary exercise equipment.
My wife and I have been mar-
ried 17 years and have been
living in Middleton for approx-
imately 15 years. We have two
sons, both of which attend the
public schools here in Middle-
ton. My wife grew up in Mid-
dleton, as did her mother and
grandparents. It is a wonderful
person for District 2 in the City
of Middleton, I have learned to
listen to the opinions and ex-
pertise of my constituents, cit-
izen volunteers, and city staff;
to find compromise solutions to
difficult problems; and to bal-
ance a city budget. On the var-
ious city committees to which
I have been appointed, I have
worked to support our Middle-
ton youth, our library and our
local businesses.
 
Why did you choose to get
involved in city politics? To
continue to serve the communi-
ty I live in.
 
What are the three most
important issues facing the
board/council in the coming
term? Explain your positions
on them:
1. Roads and bike paths – My
constituents have told me that
we need better roads. Wheth-
er you use a bicycle, a car, or
a bus for your transportation,
everybody agrees that the roads
in Middleton need to be a high
priority. We passed the 2018
budget to include more money
for road repair and bike paths
and I will continue to support
this in the future.
2. Housing – As Middleton
continues to grow, it is getting
more difficult to find available
housing. In addition to the new
apartments in the downtown
area, we are working with de-
velopers to develop apartments
and/or single-family homes
along Parmenter Street, Centu-
ry Avenue, and Charing Cross
Lane. I will require the de-
velopers to build high-quality
housing to gain my support for
these projects.
3. City Plaza – The open lot
next to the Village Green will
be a big project in 2018. Com-
a good job of funding the right
priorities for the city while also
balancing the budget.
 
In what areas could the
council improve? I believe
that we could do a better job of
communicating with our con-
stituents. I think people would
have a more positive view of
the work being done at the city
level if they had a better under-
standing of the working being
done.
What would you like to see
local taxes do in the coming
budget? Go up? Stay flat?
Decrease? I would like to see
local tax rates stay relative-
ly flat. It is worth noting that
Middleton has one of the low-
est tax rates for a city of its size
in Dane County, so keeping tax
rates flat is a good thing.
 
How do you make the dis-
tinction between essential
and non-essential govern-
ment services? Essential ser-
vices are those which cannot be
cut without running the risk of
harming the health or personal
safety of people. Police, Fire,
and EMS are the primary es-
sential services. Public educa-
tion, while funded separately, is
also essential. Many other ser-
vices provided by the city are
non-essential, but contribute
greatly to the quality of life in
our community.
 
How and when should Tax
Increment Financing (TIF)
be used? As the state and the
federal government have con-
tinued to decrease the amount
of funding for projects while
simultaneously requiring cit-
ies to make up the difference,
cities have increasingly looked
for ways to fund large projects
ments with the increased tax
money that is generated from
those improvements for a cer-
tain number of years.
TIF should be used when
there is a blighted area which,
if improved, would benefit the
city and the residents of the
city. It is my goal to use TIF
judiciously to ensure that we
continue to fund needed im-
provements to the city while at
the same time requiring devel-
opers to have skin in the game
on the developments that they
will profit from.
How should local govern-
ment do to balance econom-
ic growth and development
with the community’s current
size, pace, and quality of life?
Quality of life is the primary
goal of the City of Middleton.
As we add bike paths, improve
roads, maintain and improve
conservancy areas, and deliver
needed services, we make Mid-
dleton a more desirable place
to live for all of our residents.
This encourages both com-
panies and families to locate
here. The goal is to make sure
that the growth in our popula-
tion is matched by growth in
the businesses and the services
that support that population.
The city needs to understand
where needs are not being met,
and if possible, to encourage
businesses that can provide the
needed services, or to find ways
that the city can fill those needs
directly.

What unique challenges the conversation, guide the pro-

face? How would you address bor to make the improvements

This is ‘Work Zone Awareness Week’ Upcoming meetings at city hall

With spring quickly approaching, the Dane County Board is desig-
nating the week of April 9-13 as “Work Zone Awareness Week’’ and
reminding motorists to slow down, watch the road and put away the
mobile devices.
“Dane County workers put their lives at risk every day to make our
roads safe and I hope everyone does their part to make their jobs safe,”
said Supervisor Robin Schmidt of Monona, who serves on the county’s
Public Works & Transportation Committee. “As the signs say, please
give them a ‘brake.’”
 Dane County is responsible for maintaining over 2,500 miles of
roadways, including county and state highways. That is the second most
number of miles for any government entity in Wisconsin behind Mil-
waukee County.  with the American Association of State and Highway officials.
Projects underway this spring include:
• CTH M from Valley View Road to Cross Country Road:  This is a
Joint project between Dane County, Cities of Verona and Madison, and
the State of Wisconsin.  The total project cost is  $50.5  million with the
county’s share being approximately $12.5 million. This project started
4/16:
last year and is scheduled to be completed in the fall of 2019.
• CTH P from USH 14 to CTH K:  This is a joint project between the 5:30 PM Workforce Housing Task Force B

Statewide tornado drills are planned

5:30 PM Arts Committee B

Governor Scott Walker has
declared April 9-13, 2018, as
Wisconsin’s Tornado & Severe
Weather Awareness Week. Wis-
consin Emergency Management,
the National Weather Service
(NWS) and the Wisconsin Broad-
casters Association (WBA) have
once again teamed up to sponsor
the statewide tornado drills sched-
uled for Thursday, April 12th.
Schools, businesses, families,
and individuals have two oppor-
tunities to test their emergency
plans during statewide tornado
drills April 12, 2018. The drills
are part of the annual spring se-
vere weather campaign to encour-
age everyone in Wisconsin to be
ready for possible tornadoes and
severe weather.
According to the NWS, Wis-
consin averages 23 tornadoes an-
nually. Last year, there were 23
tornado touchdowns in the state.
While most were either EF0 or
EF1, the state did record an EF3
on May 16, 2017. The tornado
followed an 83 mile path across
Polk, Barron, Rusk, and Price
counties, killing one person and
causing widespread damage. The
state also experienced an outbreak
of 10 tornadoes on June 14, 2017,
across Shawano, Winnebago, Out-
agamie, Brown, and Waushara
counties.
On April 12th, a mock tor-
nado watch will be issued at 1:00
p.m. followed by a statewide
mock tornado warning at 1:45
p.m.Many radio and TV stations
across the state will issue the test
tornado warnings. In addition,
mock alerts will be issued on
NOAA Weather Radios and many
communities will sound their tor-
nado sirens to test their emergency
severe weather plans. Later, a
mock tornado warning will be is-
sued at 6:45 p.m. to give families
and second shift workers a chance
to practice their emergency plans.  and Instagram (www.instagram.
The tornado drill will take place
even if the sky is cloudy, dark or 4/23:
rainy. If actual severe storms are
expected in the state today (Thurs- 9:00 AM Board of Review CC
day, April 12th), the tornado drills 6:30 PM Public Works Committee B
will be postponed until Friday,
April 13th with the same times. If 4/24/2018 
severe storms are possible Friday,
the drills will be cancelled. 7:00 PM Plan Commission CC

Dallet continued from page 1

that she has previously worked
as a judge’s clerk, prosecutor
and circuit court judge. She
added, “I’m certainly happy to
have their support for my cam-
paign.”
Dallet said she has spent her
career trying to help others, “It
has really been about listening
to the issues and protecting
people’s right. As a Supreme
Court judge it will impact more
people. I am looking forward
to serving them in a different
capacity.”
The campaigning lasted
about 10 months, Dallet said,
and included that she was all
over the state, meeting with
people and asking for their
support. “I worked very hard. I
was in Middleton several times.
I was in Dane County at least
twice a month to listen to, and
meet people and hear their is-
sues. I will work as hard as I
always have to do the best that
I can”
The campaigning paid off
because Dallet won Dane
County with 81 percent of the
vote, Middleton with 83 per-
cent and Cross plains with 73
percent. Statewide she won by
a margin of 12 percent. Voter
turnout in the state was about
30 percent, high for a midterm
judicial election.
“I hope people continue to
take interest, educate them-
selves and get to the polls.
Hopefully young people will
get out and vote,” she com-
mented.
The 48-year-old mother of
three girls said that the historic
win sets an example for her
daughters, “I am proud to share
this with them, and let them
know they can accomplish any-
thing.”
One of her goals is to con-
tinue to increase diversity in
the Wisconsin courts and notes
only 20 percent of judges are
women and a much smaller
percent are minorities of other
races. “I think increasing di-
versity helps everyone,” she
added.
Dallet, who lives in White-
fish Point, will be sworn in at
the beginning of August. She
said she isn’t sure if she will
be moving to Dane County be-
cause one of her daughters is
still in high school. She noted
that compared to nearly a year
of campaigning, the hour and
20 minute commute doesn’t
seem so bad.

“Caring for our Green World since 1978”
celebrates 30 years
BY MICHELLE PHILLIPS
Times-Tribune
MIDDLETON–Very few
small business can say they
have lasted 30 years, but the ar-
chitectural firm, Zingg Design,
Inc. is one of them. On April
11, the company celebrates 30
years in business, and owner
Mark Zingg, AIA said that his
passion for design and desire
to owner his own company are
part of the reason for that lon-
gevity.
“I was lucky!” he exclaimed,
and added that part of his suc-
cess was “I really enjoy it. It
isn’t like work for me, and I try
to instill that in my employees
as well.”
Zingg has built a varied port-
folio over his career, including
retail and commercial proper-
ties, showrooms, health clubs
homes and offices. “Some of
the building in Middleton that
people might be familiar with
are the Princeton Club and my
own office.” He also designed
the 200,000 sf office and man-
ufacturing plant for Vortex in
Barneveld.
The company struggled
through the recession, as many
small business were affected.
Zingg Design lost about half of
its staff and 90 percent of their
business during this time, but
somehow persevered.
Today Zingg works with Sub
Zero Wolf dealers to design
Living Kitchens for the com-
pany. The showrooms designs
are displayed in both the US
and Canada.
“I do bigger projects for Sub
Zero, too. They have test kitch-
ens that offer cooking demos
and live products,” he added.
The firm offers general ar-
chitectural services including
interior design and planning
services, from the initial pro-
gramming and design concept
through the construction phase
of the project. Zingg said he is
currently working on a small
church.
He said that the business is
planning of having some events
for their anniversary, but has
nothing on the calendar at this
time.

Erickson’s
final trip
Jeff Erickson and two col-
leagues took a group of MHS
Field Biology students to stay
at UW- Stevens Point Tree-
haven on March 20-21.
It was Erickson’s final trip as
a staff member. He is retiring at
the end of the school year after
24 years at MHS.
Treehaven is a natural re-
sources education, conference
and research center located
in the Northwoods between
Rhinelander and Tomahawk.
Students went snowshoeing to
monitor wildlife populations
and learned about the manage-
ment of forests and deer on the

ning, students participated in

hooting study.   journey for our students.’’
Erickson estimated he has
taken approximately 1,600
MHS students to the North-
woods over the years to explore
and interact with wildlife biolo-
gists studying porcupines, bear,
wolves, elk, deer, owls, lakes,
bogs, geology and forestry.
“Even more, these students
got to spend some quality time
with Jeff around a campfire,’’
MHS biology teacher Dan
Drangstveit? said. “For those
of us who got to experience
these trips with Jeff, we will
never forget his great stories
-- ask him about when he was
almost mauled by a grizzly --
the random questions he would
ask, his insatiable appetite for
ice cream or that he is still un-
beaten in pool. ... Thanks for
the memories, Jeff.’’

TIP!
Cycling Cuts
Cancer Risk
Several previous studies have
reported associations between
cycling and lower heart disease
risk. New research confirms this LISA R.
and also suggests cycling may also
lower the risk of cancer. The study tracked data on 264,000
people regarding their commute to work, following them
for five years. Researchers found that those who cycled to
work had a 45% lower risk of cancer and a 46% reduced
risk of heart disease compared to those with a “non-active
commute.” Walking to work was also linked to lower risk
of heart disease but not cancer. Walkers typically commuted
6 miles per week, whereas cyclers averaged 30 miles.

Metz has served as Gla-

since January when he replaced
Bill Deno. Metz served as the
school’s Dean of Students in
2014-15 and then moved to the
role of Associate Principal.
Superintendent George Mav-

staff on Thursday, March 22.
Glacier Creek students and
families, along with members
of the interview teams, were
also notified that day.
“I am humbled and honored

Metz spent his first 11 years
at Glacier Creek as a sixth-
grade teacher. Before that, he
worked for two years as a sec-
ond-grade teacher at Lawson
Elementary in Jefferson City,
Mo. He has a bachelor’s degree
from Iowa State and a master’s
in educational leadership from
Cardinal Stritch.
Nearly 40 educators applied
for the position and six were in-
terviewed, Director of Second-
ary Learning Laura Love said.
Finalists went through multiple
interviews, including meeting
with students, staff and parents.
Feedback from all stakeholders
was part of the process.
A number of other adminis-
trative changes were made at
Glacier Creek as well.
Mary Summers Kern ac-
cepted the position of interim
associate principal at Gla-
cier Creek. Summers Kern
has taught English at Glacier
Creek for the past six years and
worked for eight years in Illi-

West Middleton principal
Katrina Krych and Director of
Facilities Services Bill Eber-
hardt provided information on
temporary classroom options
at the school for 2018-19 to the
Board of Education at its regu-
lar meeting on Monday, March
19.
The District is considering
leasing a portable in the short-
term or building a permanent
structure on the west side of the
building. Each option would
include two classrooms. The
school is currently using two
rooms that weren’t intended
to be classrooms, Krych said.
There are 24 sections this year
and it looks like there will be at
least 25 in 2018-19.
Krych noted there are lots of
options that could be done. She
spoke with parents and staff
about what they think makes
the most sense and narrowed it
to three options. She believes
how many students who are im-
pacted, the ages of the students
and what classes have all been
considered. Director of Busi-
ness Services Lori Ames noted
the cost of a portable or perma-
nent structure are each around
$160,000.
She believes having two
fourth-grade classes in the new
space makes the most sense.
She says her staff is excited
about the possibility. It looks
like the school will only need
one additional classroom in
2018-19 but she wants two sec-
tions to be housed there.
She said parents have been
supportive, although there are
questions about safety.
“If you have seen what these
rooms will look like, they look
awesome,’’ she said. “If you
see the space and the lighting
available, it’s a great place for
students.’’
Krych said she would be
supportive of having it become
permanent space that could be
used for custodial storage, or-
chestra classes or conference
rooms.
“We could use that space in
a lot of creative ways,’’ Krych
said. “It would definitely be
value-added if it would
be permanent.’’
The Board wondered if add-
ing four classrooms might make
the most sense. Krych liked the
idea, noting if a referendum
passes in November a new el-
ementary school wouldn’t open
until 2020 so the school would
be dealing with capacity chal-
lenges for three more years.
Superintendent George
Mavroulis recommended that
fund balance be used to pay for
School News
the classrooms, although Bob
Green added he wants to make
sure it doesn’t impact the Dis-
trict’s bond rating. Mavroulis
said the District will develop
final numbers and have it ready
for the Board for its April 9
meeting.
Veroeven
earns Kohl
Award
Glacier Creek sixth-grade
teacher Rhonda Veroeven has
been named a recipient of the
2018 Herb Kohl Education
Foundation Fellowship Award.
She will be recognized at an
awards ceremony for CESA 2
and 3 recipients on Saturday,
April 14 at Monona Grove
High School. Kohl plans to at-
tend the event.
“Congratulations to Rhonda
on being selected,’’ Superin-
tendent George Mavroulis said.
“You are truly deserving of the
recognition. Thank you for the
amazing work you do each day
with your students.’’
She was one of 100 teachers
selected from around the state,
including 13 from the CESA 2
region. Fellowship recipients
are educators who have been
chosen for their superior ability
to inspire a love of learning in
their students, their ability to
motivate others, and their lead-
ership and service within and
outside the classroom.
Veroeven will receive
$6,000, while Glacier Creek
will also receive $6,000. Kohl
doubled the amount that edu-
cators and students receive in
2017.
Glacier Creek band teacher
Jeanne Hammes and MHS
orchestra teacher Steve Kurr
were honored in 2017. Krom-
rey principal Steve Soeteber
was named a Leadership Award
winner in 2016. Glacier Creek
special education teacher Tim
Ashe and Kromrey and MHS
German teacher Jolene Wo-
chenske were honored in 2015.
Veroeven has worked at
Glacier Creek since 2013. She
joined the District in 2000 and
worked for 10 years as a spe-
cial education teacher at MHS
and for three years at Kromrey.
She worked at St. Croix Falls
High School for seven years
before joining MCPASD. She
earned a bachelor’s of science
in teaching from Winona State
and a master’s degree from St.
Mary’s in Winona, Minn.
“I am humbled and hon-
ored to be recognized for such
an award,’’ Veroeven said. “I
would like to extend a huge
thank you to the amazing
Middleton-Cross Plains Area
School District’s administra-
tion, fabulous teachers, and
support staff that always put
students first, and most impor-
tantly, our students and families
that give me purpose and inspi-
ration every day.”
“I am fortunate to have the
best ‘job’ in the world -- inspir-
ing our future. For that, I am
thankful.”
There were also 16 principals
and 191 graduating seniors who
will also be recognized in 2018.
Students will receive $10,000
scholarships.
“Herb Kohl, through his
philanthropy on behalf of our
educators and students, has pro-
vided opportunity and access
to a better future for countless
Wisconsinites,’’ State Super-
intendent Tony Evers said in a
statement.
The Kohl Foundation Schol-
arship and Fellowship program
was established in 1990. The
program has handed out more
than $14.5 million to Wisconsin
educators, students and schools.
“Education is the key to the
future of Wisconsin and our
nation,’’ Kohl said in a state-
ment. “I am very proud of the
accomplishments of these stu-
dents, teachers, and principals
and look forward to the great
contributions they will make in
the future.’’
Collecting for
the local food
pantry
The following article was
written by MHS junior Ben
Scher.
The MHS National Honor
Society (NHS) developed a
partnership with Middleton
Outreach Ministry (MOM) this
winter to help support them on
their mission to prevent home-
lessness and end hunger in our
community.
“MOM does a lot of great
things in the community, and
Middleton NHS is proud to
be in partnership with them,’’
MHS adviser Cherie Hellen-
brand said.
She noted that one of the
great things MOM does is open
up its food pantry to families in
need every weekday. As a re-
sult, MOM goes through paper
and plastic bags quickly. 
NHS supported this need
by having their first initiative
in the partnership be to collect
bags and more than 3,500 were
collected by NHS members.
This is just one initiative
NHS plans to do in partner-
ship with MOM, Hellenbrand
said. Next month, NHS plans
to collect and donate children’s
books to MOM.

items are being collecting each
month, please visit the MOM

“Clerks told me they were
very pleased with how the
e-poll books performed and
with how easily their poll
workers and voters were able to
navigate the hardware and soft-
ware,” Wolfe said.  “I think the
success of this pilot is one we
can be particularly proud of as
it truly represents a partnership

Based on data gathered at the
pilot locations, WEC staff will
make further improvements to
the system before making the
software available for free to
any municipal clerk in Wis-
consin who wishes to use it for
elections in August and No-
vember.  Municipalities will be
responsible for purchasing the
necessary hardware computer
service terminals.
The WEC received no com-
plaints Tuesday about voters
needing to reregister at the polls
because their names had been
inadvertently removed from the
active voter list. 
The Commission approved
the use of a supplemental poll
book in response to problems
at the February 20 Spring Pri-
mary, when some voters were
required to reregister due to
problems with a new process
designed to identify voters who
had moved.
“If a registered voter’s name
was not on the regular poll list,
poll workers looked for them
on the supplemental poll list,”
said Wolfe.  “If their name was
there, they received a ballot
after signing the supplemental
poll list affirming that their ad-
dress had not changed.”
Wolfe said WEC staff will
now reach out to clerks around
the state to learn more about
their experience with the sup-
plemental poll list so they can
begin to develop a plan for the
fall elections.
More information about
supplemental poll books is
available on the Commis-
sion’s website: http://elections.
wi.gov/node/5746.
WEC staff monitored the
weather situation throughout
the day Tuesday with the assis-
tance of Wisconsin Emergency
Management and any impacted
clerks as needed.  Wolfe said
the Commission received very
few calls from clerks about
weather issues.
The City of Milwaukee had
what they described as a “false
alarm” related to a suspicious
package at a polling place.  Ini-
tially, they thought they may
need to evacuate the polling
place and then ask a court to ex-
tend voting hours, but the city
later determined that would not
be necessary.

The endless winter has caused
problems for spring sports
In 1980, when boxing still
mattered to much of the nation,
Roberto Durán was the welter-
weight champion of the world.
During a memorable
title fight against Sugar Ray
Leonard held at the Louisiana
Superdome, Leonard put on
a show with his remarkable
speed and movement and dom-
inated Duran. In the closing
moments of the eighth round,
Duran turned to referee Octavio
Meyran and said, “No más.”
In Spanish that means, “no
more.”
Today, coaches throughout
the state are looking outside
or staring up at the sky and
yelling, “No más” themselves.
Spring sports in Wisconsin
are always tricky with cold
temperatures, nasty winds and
lousy field conditions. But a
winter that simply will not end
— and dumped more snow on
the area last week — has made
things far tougher than usual.
Rob
Reischel
And coaches everywhere
are throwing their hands up in
frustration and begging Mother
Nature to back off.
“It certainly has created
havoc,” Middleton softball
coach Perry Hibner said.
As of Tuesday morning,
Middleton’s girls’ softball
team had played one game —
and had eight postponed.
Middleton’s baseball team
went to Florida two weeks ago
and played four games during
their spring break. But since
returning, the Cardinals had all
three of their games postponed.

Big 8 title
BY ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune

For the majority of this

century, Middleton’s boys
tennis team has been a fixture
at the state team tennis tour-
nament.
The Cardinals have been to
the state team tournament 11
times since 2000. And in that
time, Middleton has four state
runner-up finishes to its credit.
The Cardinals failed
to reach the state meet last
year, finishing third at the
Waunakee Sectional. But with
a deep and gifted squad com-
ing back, Middleton has its
sights set on another trip to
state this spring.
Middleton is scheduled
to begin its year Friday at
Milwaukee Marquette.
“In order for us to have
a chance to win conference
and sectionals and advance
to team state everyone has
to pull their weight,” said
Middleton second-year coach
Kalla Schaefer. “No spot is
a given win, because of how
tight the top conference teams
all are. No one can count on
other spots to get the win
because when those decid-
ing matches come at 3-3 that
could be at any spot.”

Middleton’s Brogan Brunker will play in the WBCA All-Star game on June 16.
Brunker exiting in style
Middleton standout named to WBCA All-Star game
BY ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
Middleton senior Brogan
Bruner was recently named
to the Wisconsin Basketball
Coaches Association All-
Star Game. The game will
be played June 16 at 4 p.m.
at JustAGame Fieldhouse in
Wisconsin Dells.
Brunker will play for the
Division 1 North team.
Brunker is coming off
a season in which he was
named first-team all-Big Eight
Conference and honorable
mention all-state.
Brunker led the Cardinals
in scoring at 18.1 points per
game last season. He also
scored in double figures in 20
of the 21 games he played.
Brunker was second on the
team in rebounding (4.6), shot
55% from the field, 41% from
three-point range, 74% from
the free throw line and aver-
aged 2.2 assists per game.
Brunker’s season was
extremely rewarding consid-
ering the obstacles he’s over-
come in recent seasons.
Brunker was struck with
Lemierre’s syndrome in the
summer of 2016, a disease
that affects just 1-in-1,000,000
people and has a mortality rate
between 4 and 12%. Brunker
survived a procedure in which
his heart had to be re-started
and doctor’s gave him a 25%
chance to live.
The disease took away
Brunker’s 2016 football sea-
son. And even though he
returned for some of the bas-
ketball season in 2017, he was
still recovering and was never
close to 100%.
Brunker was fully recov-
ered for the start of football
season last fall. But in a pre-
season scrimmage, Brunker
broke several bones in his
hand and missed almost all of
the 2017 football season.

only able to practice outside
one time.
For teams everywhere, the
cancellations keep pouring in
while the frustrations mount.
“The Wisconsin spring
baseball season can be very,
very unsettled with weath-
er conditions,” Middleton
baseball coach Tom Schmitt
said.  “The temperatures vary
so much from day to day, the
chances of snow persist well
into the first three weeks of the
season.  Rain can hold you off
the fields for days in a row.”
The art of coaching is a ter-
rific challenge by itself. When
you can’t get outside and con-
duct a routine practice, your
creative genes are put to the
test, as well.

Middleton boys฀฀฀golf coach
Tom Cabalka spent sever-
al days last week going over
the rules of the game with his
players. Time and time again,
golfers have rounds delayed as
they scramble to get a ruling.
“That shouldn’t be as
much of a problem this year,”
Cabalka said. “We’re going to
be pretty good on our rules.”
Hibner tries keeping things
fresh with new drills or games.
But even he admits, “there can
be a Groundhog Day monotony
because there are only so many
things we can do.”
Schmitt spends a lot of time
working on the mental side, a
must in a thinking man’s sport
like baseball. Each player also

cific to their position.
Middleton is aided by
indoor facilities that most com-
munities can only dream of.
But even that can’t fully pre-
pare a team for what’s to come
once they get outside.
“The time in the gym gives
you more mental time than the
physical and live situational
practices,” Schmitt said.  “You
will never get the hops on gym
floor that you get on Wisconsin
spring grass.  But you know
it’s what you have to do and
best prepare for that next game
day.”
Many have searched for
ideas to fix spring sports. In the
end, though, the only true solu-
tion is to catch a break from the

฀฀ Gods.
Some have suggested mov-
ing spring sports to the fall.
But that would mean several
student-athletes would have to
choose between two different
sports they currently play. And
in smaller schools, there simply
wouldn’t be enough athletes to
field teams in all of the sports.
Others have suggested
starting spring sports two or
three weeks later. This solution
makes the most sense, as the
only drawback is the seniors
would graduate well before the
end of their sports season.
“I know that isn’t ideal for
seniors and schools being out,”
Hibner said. “But it sure seems
better than losing all these
games due to lousy weather.”
For now, it doesn’t appear
the WIAA plans to change any-
thing when it comes to spring
sports. And teams will race to
play a full regular season in the
next five or six weeks.

PAGE 16 TIMES-TRIBUNE THURSDAY, APRIL 12, 2018
Middleton boys golf coach Tom Cabalka (left) has an inexperienced, but gifted team this spring.
GOLF
posed to play at the Wisconsin
Dells Invite last weekend, but
lousy conditions forced that
event to be postponed to a
date Middleton was unavail-
able. The Cardinals are now
scheduled to host a Big Eight
Conference triangular Friday
at Pleasant View at 2 p.m.
“This is a squad would
have really benefitted from
being out on the course,”
Cabalka said. “We’re young,
so every day out there is a
valuable day.”
Middleton will build
around Zucker, one of the bet-
ter golfers in the state.
Zucker qualified for state
as an individual last season
and finished 28th. Zucker was
also named first-team all-Big
Eight Conference and honor-
able mention all-state.
“Andy learned so much
last year,” Cabalka said. “The
first couple of weeks he strug-
gled to get his game in order,
but he got things figured out.
Now, he’s ready for a leader-
ship role.”
After Zucker, though, the
Cardinals have far more ques-
tions than answers. The good
news for Cabalka & Co. is
Middleton usually finds the
answers as the season goes
along.
“We do have some choic-
es,” Cabalka said. “That’s the
good thing.”
Senior Mitch Giroux has
some varsity experience and
played No. 5 in the lineup
during the postseason last
year. But Giroux’s greatest
issue has always been consis-
tency, something he’ll have to
improve on if he hopes to lock
down a spot in the top-five.
Senior Henry Taylor
played at the state tourna-
ment as a freshman when the
Cardinals finished fifth as a
team. Taylor has struggled to
take his game to the next level
since, but Cabalka hopes that
will change this spring.
“He just hasn’t been able to
get his game to where it was,”
Cabalka said of Taylor. “But
I’m hoping this is the year. I’d
like him to finish with a real-
ly positive high school golf
experience.”
Junior Chandon Thomas
certainly has the blood-
lines working in his favor.
Big brother Brady helped
Middleton finish in the top-
five at state every year from
2014-’16 and now plays for
UW-Eau Claire. Older sis-
ter Alexis was the state’s
co-Player of the Year in 2016
when she helped Middleton’s
girls finish second at state and
now plays at North Dakota
State.
“Chandon comes from a
family that has figured the
game out well,” Cabalka said.
“Every day I see Chandon
maturing, and with that
brother and sister, he had to
learn something from them. I
