very foundation of a democracy
- free discourse among the peo-

Amendment, which says that
the right of free speech shall not
be abridged - and it is addressed
in particular to speech critical of
the government, Scalia said.
That was the main kind of
speech that tyrants would seek
to suppress.
Even if you want to discount
the Justice as a legalistic pin-
dancer, youll be hard put to
find someone more politically
attuned to the Republican base
than Senate Majority Leader
Mitch McConnell of kentucky.
Responding to a potential state
law prohibiting flag burning, he
wrote in an op-ed that No act
of speech is so obnoxious that it
merits tampering with our First
Amendment. Our Constitution,
and our country, is stronger than
that, he wrote. Ultimately,

Libraries are for everyone,

They disseminate information
so the public can participate in

They serve as gathering places

and librarians provide chances
for citizens to develop the con-
nections and skills needed to
gain access to information of all
kinds (like how to vote!) - with-

Opinion
In this midst of this debate,
there has been some incredible
commentary and discussion.
One sports radio host, however,
gave the most cogent analysis
of what is wrong with our soci-

ing to explain about his feelings
for the protesters and their sup-
porters calling in, stated I dont
care about their opinion. I only
care about taking care of my
family. THIS is the problem in
our community. WE DONT
CARE.
I work with a lot of small
businesses and entrepreneurs
trying to get a company started.
The cost of entry in starting a
business has become exorbitant.
Banks cant or wont lend to
start ups without significant as-
sets or financial backing; large
investors dont look at the Mid-

and local investors who have

EPA Completes Review
Of Refuse Hideaway Landfill Superfund Site
Middleton, Wisconsin
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has completed a five-
year review of the Refuse Hideaway Superfund site located on
U.S. Highway14, Middleton, Wis. The Superfund law requires
regular checkups of sites that have been cleaned up with waste
managed on-site to make sure the cleanup continues to protect
people and the environment. This was the third review of the
site.
This review included an evaluation of background information,
cleanup requirements, effectiveness of the cleanup, and
maintenance and monitoring efforts. It also looked at ways to
operate more efficiently.
EPAs cleanup, which was originally done by the Wisconsin
Department of Natural Resources, included an upgrade to the
existing landfill cap; operation and maintenance of the cap; gas
and leachate collection systems; and extra point-of-entry water
treatment systems for affected homes. The review concluded the
cleanup is protecting people and the environment. The next
review is scheduled for 2022.
The five-year review report and other site-related information are
available at the Middleton Public Library, 7425 Hubbard Ave.
and at www.epa.gov/superfund/refuse-hideaway-landfill.

Play It Forward raises $45,000 for school

The Fond Blanc Foundation held its third annual Play It Forward for Haiti event on Sunday,
at Keva Sports Center. Despite the heat, we had a great turn out for our Play It Forward for
Haiti event! said Tia Bunz (pictured, top left), one of the events organizers and founders. We
had over 200 people attend, that brought in over $45,000 that will all go directly toward the 400
students that attend the school in Fond Blanc, Haiti.
This year we will be able to purchase uniforms, school books and pay our certified teachers
for grades pre k-grade 11. This amount will also help us to continue our goal of creating a schol-
arship fund for the students post high school opportunities and education, she continued. With
Bucky Badger, Mike Heller and many athletes from the UW, those that attended were able to
enjoy a dunk tank to cool off, cotton candy, many games and inflatables, a photo booth and nu-
merous other fun activities! All the while making a tremendous difference in these childrens
lives.
Bunz added, We want to thank all that sponsored the event, provided items for the silent auc-
tion and attended the event - your presence here in Middleton makes such an impact on these
children so far away.

The Tribeca developments already-lengthy saga is about to enter a new chapter...

The Middleton Common
Council has approved a resolu-
tion conceptually consenting for
the assignment of the Tribeca
development to five new own-
ers. Originally proposed by T.

Properties, the development
plan never came together, says
city staff, but they are excited
by new prospects of new own-

City administrator Mike
Davis explained to the council
the new owners were under the
MIg commercial real estate
company umbrella, two of
which who were behind the Par-
menter Center development.
They have great prospects
with local connections for de-
veloping office buildings,
Davis said, adding he met with
the CEO of MIg and another
developer involved and when
ready thought the council would
be excited to hear about the
prospects.

have been a new downtown and

of the agreements were never

there were any Tax Increment

made. Bechler said the agree-

signed by the developer nor ap-
proved by the council. He need
the biggest portion of the TIF
agreement being for parking lot.
Weve all looked very care-

that the parking ramps that we
thought wed be getting here

signed by the developer, Bech-
ler said.
Davis said there was a lot of
negotiation and a general imple-
mentation plan was approved
by the council but in the final
analysis the parties couldnt
come to an overall development
plan.
Davis said the existing agree-
ments include a storm water
management agreement and an
agreement for Tribeca drive to
be extended further. There are
funds held in escrow for the de-
velopment of more parking as
well.
Davis said those agreements
are likely to be modified from
the help of the MIg attorney.

My wife and I love having

being fun, so that kind of a vibe
and feel is what we are going
for and that kind of a menu,
Published every Thursday by News Publishing Company
Van Nest says.
Artisanal sandwiches includ-
ing an Italian hoagie, pulled
pork and barbecue brisket will
be available as well. And
sausage is going to be a big
focus, Van Nest adds, six kinds
sausages will be available on ei-
ther a bun with side or on a plat-
ter. There will always be six to
eight house-made sides to
choose from including the
Brasserie V favorite Belgian
style frites.
Its a little different way of
doing the menu, but I think it
will be fun and really set up for
sharing, Van Nest says.
Like Brasserie V, everything
will be locally sources when-
ever possible.

produce from locals farmers as
we can, we have a lot of farmers

he says. We might get pro-

well make sure even if we get
it from there its from a smaller
reputable company.

for the last 12 years, Van Nest
says he knew he wanted his best
project to be there.
Weve lived in Middleton
for 12 years and we really like
it there and plan on staying,
CHURCH NOTES
Van Nest says. Doing a second
place it really just felt like Mid-
dleton was where we wanted to
do it because is close to home.
The opportunity created by
new development was one that
Van Nest jumped on. He looked
at spaces all over Middleton for
the last two and a half years and
ultimately wanted to be down-
town because of the vibrancy
made it the best fit for the proj-
ect, he says.
There arent that many
spaces downtown and most of
the restaurants that are down-
town have been there for a
while and they dont leave,
Van Nest says. When we heard
about Middleton Center we
thought it was an opportunity.
Van Nest says downtown
Middleton is already great but
thinks it is going to get a lot bet-
ter as the new developments are
finished and filled in.
The architecture, I think
they did a really great job of
making it blend in with the
brick exterior and mixed
media, He says. You can tell
it is new but it has a really nice
look to it and I think it fits really
well with the downtown and has
taken whats already a good
downtown and transform it into
another whole level of destina-
tion for people and more people
living there.
Van Nest says hes not too
worried about the possible lack
of parking thats been one of the
major concerns surrounding the
Middleton Center development
as its progressed.
It feels like there is enough
parking, Middleton is a very
compact downtown so you may
have to park like a block away,
but its not even a long block,
he says.
Van Nest notes Brassiere V
has essentially no parking, only
meters on the street and a park-
ing garage across the street. He
says he is somewhat worried
about the perception from cus-
tomers that there is no parking,
but he plans to ask downtown
businesses to pool together for
a pedicab that can bring people
to their cars.
Van Nest says he looking for-
ward to becoming part of the

community and particularly the
other bars.
Anybody else that is beer

want to be complimentary to

something a little different so I
think that well all be able to do

By doing so, we would be pre-

funding. Since 1993, school dis-
tricts have operated under a rev-
enue cap that limits how much
money a district can raise via
property taxes, general state aid,
and a form of business property
tax called computer aid. To-
gether, these three revenue
streams account for 90 percent
of the general fund preliminary
budget.
Middletons growing student
population has been a boon for
the district: its the primary rea-
son the revenue limit has in-
creased $2,339,556 this year.
Student enrollment has been
increasing at an increasing rate.

creases we were able to receive

that provides the resources the
district needs moving forward.
This years estimated rev-
enue limit is $73,893,652, of
which 70 percent is from prop-
erty taxes and 23 percent is
from state aid. Yu drew laughs
when she recalled the good old
days when state aid could ac-
count for two-thirds of the en-
tire budget. The vast majority of
money paid out of the budget
82 percent - goes to salaries and
benefits. This years budget in-
cludes money for increased
staffing to help with the influx
of students, including four new
full-time teachers, a support
teacher at West Middleton Ele-
mentary School and $200,000
staff placements.
As of June 30th, the MC-
PASD had a fund balance of
about $19.6 million. This num-
ber is the difference between the
districts assets, like cash, and
its liabilities, like bills yet to be
paid. The fund balance, Yu
pointed out, is not the same
thing as cash on hand, which
was about $9.9 million on the
same date. Because of the spo-
radic nature of the districts in-
come, the district is forced to
borrow money to pay its bills.
We receive a bunch of gen-
eral aid in 3 different payments
throughout year, but consider-
ing taxes finance us primarily,

until January, we receive very
little money. And yet every

The district took out a line of
credit for $2,290,000 last year,
and paid $6,942 of interest on it.
In fiscal year 2015-2016, the
district paid $33,000 in interest,
and in 2014-2015, over
$35,000. Since Middleton has a
AAA rating, its relatively
cheap for the district to borrow
money, the treasurer noted. But
having a healthy fund balance is
key to keeping the AAA rating,
as well as avoiding the need to
borrow altogether.

many ways life insurance can help families meet their key

financial goals. Here are three of them:
First, if you were to die unexpectedly, could your family
continue to live in your home? Your surviving spouse or
partner might not earn enough to make the mortgage
payments, but your life insurance proceeds could fill the gap.
Second, think about educating your children. College is
expensive, and if you were no longer around to save for it,
could your children still go? Again, life insurance could make
the difference.
Finally, as you are still working, your most valuable asset
may be your future income. An unexpected death would
destroy this asset, and could leave your family unable to
cover financial obligations. Life insurance can help ensure
your loved ones will have the resources to replace lost
income, should you pass away.
Use Life Insurance Awareness Month as an opportunity to
review your insurance situation. It will be time well spent.

are most prevalent. With the
fluctuating weather, warm then
cool, we are seeing many
patients with ticks some imbedded and engorged. The
ticks primary host is deer, from which it is then spread
throughout an area on the white footed field mouse. Dogs
and people (cats are not at high risk) are then exposed.
Consequently the closer you are to deer population,
(Pheasant Branch Creek and especially north of the
Wisconsin River), the higher the risk of infection. The tick is
pinhead in size and can be difficult to see on the coat of a
dog. The tick must be imbedded for over a twelve-hour
period before it can transmit the disease, so early removal
is preventive. There are currently many ways to protect
your dog. Specific tick collars, sprays, and spot-ons can be
used to repel and kill. There is also a vaccine available to
prevent lyme disease. If detected early, treatment is
available for the limping, soreness, and fevers associated
with Lyme disease, but prevention is still the best medicine.

City and county join to celebrate University Ave. project
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2017 MIDDLETON TIMES-TRIBUNE PAGE 7

Dane County Executive Joe Parisi was re-
cently joined by City of Middleton officials
to cut the ribbon for the recently recon-
structed University Avenue.
The $3 million construction project took
place between Allen Boulevard and Park
Street. The newly redone highway now fea-
tures an on-road bike path that eventually
connects to the Pheasant Branch Trail.
Reconstructing the countys aging high-
ways improves public safety, said Dane
County Executive Parisi. The conclusion of
the University Avenue construction project
means greater safety for motorists and bicy-
clists when traveling through this well-traf-
ficked area.
Crews were able to replace University Av-
enues old curbs, gutters, and deteriorated
concrete pavement while upgrading pedes-
trian and bicycle facilities. The new on-road
path runs from Allen Boulevard to the
Branch Street intersection and connects to
other City of Middleton on-road bike lanes.
The County and City are planning Phase
2 of the University Avenue project with a
probable start date in 2019. The project will
be from the end of this years project (ap-
proximately Park Street) to Cayuga Court.
Improving our citys streets is my major
was able to partner with Dane County for
this project. University Avenue is a major
artery in our transportation network, and
were looking forward to continuing the
project further west in 2019.
A combination of Dane County employ-
ees, City of Middleton employees, and pri-
vate contractors completed the project on
time and under budget.
The $3 million project was equally funded
between Dane County and the City of Mid-
dleton.
In addition to the CTH/University Avenue
project, the CTH CC/Jefferson Street project
in the Village of Oregon was also completed
in time for Labor Day weekend. This seg-
ment of highway was under construction
from Main Street to Ash Street. The project
began with Village utility work and ended
with County crews excavating the roadway
and installing a new base course. Asphalt
pavement was then added to surface the
roadway.
Reconstruction for CTH CC/Jefferson
Street was completed under the projects
$400,000 budget and was funded equally be-
tween the Village of Oregon and Dane
County.

Water Conservation Pro-
gram Overview: Beginning
July 1, 2015, the Middleton
Water Utility began offering
water conservation programs.
The funding for the programs
was approved by the Public
Service Commission of Wis-
consin and is intended to reduce
water usage City-wide as out-
lined in the Middleton Sustain-
able City Plan. The plan
outlines goals and action steps
for decreasing the gallons of
groundwater pumped per capita
per year.

must obtain permits from the
Building Inspector for construc-
tion and remodeling projects
with a cost estimate over
$1,000. Any project that in-
cludes improving, altering, con-
verting, repairing, extending or
demolishing of a building or
structure requires a building

(trees & bushes) hanging over
the sidewalk, within a height of
10 above the sidewalk. grass &
weeds need to be kept clear
from the entire width of the
sidewalk and curb ramps. Side-
walk obstructions other than
from City terrace trees must be
removed by the adjacent prop-
erty owner. To report a sidewalk

SNOW REMOVAL: Mid-
dleton ordinances require that
the owner, occupant or person
in charge of each building,
structure or unoccupied lot in
the City fronting or abutting a
street shall remove snow and
ice from the sidewalk, including
handicap ramps adjacent to
such building, structure or un-
occupied lot as well as from any
fire hydrant upon or directly ad-
jacent to the property to a point
no higher than four (4) inches
below the lowest outlet hydrant
cap. The snow and/or ice must
be removed from the entire
width of the sidewalk and hand-
icap ramps and from fire hy-
drants. No accumulation of
snow or ice may be permitted to
remain for longer than 24 hours
regardless of the source of the
snow or ice. If ice cannot be re-
moved immediately, it shall be
sprinkled with salt, sand or
combination thereof until it can
be removed. You can also help
by shoveling out your mail box
and areas for your trash and re-
cycling carts. It is unlawful to
plow, shovel or throw snow into
the street.
Winter Parking: Cold
weather and snow will soon be
upon us. City Ordinances re-
quire alternate side parking dur-
ing the winter season,
regardless of snowfall. Between
the hours of 1:00 am and 7:00
am, all vehicles parked on the
street must be on the even num-
bered side on even numbered
days, and on the odd numbered
side on odd numbered days. Al-
ternate side parking is not appli-
cable on streets with parking
limited to one side.
Winter Garbage & Recy-
cling: Cart Placement With
winter weather approaching, its
time to plan for the placement
of garbage and recycling carts
during the next few months.
While many residents can con-
tinue to set their carts in their
driveway apron, some will want
instead to clear snow from the
terrace next to the driveway to
make carts accessible for the
collection trucks. This will be
easiest if begun with the first
snow fall. When planning for
you cart placement, please re-
member: Place carts with at
least 4 feet of clearance on the
sides so mechanical arms can
get to them. Do not place carts
on a snow bank or more than 2
feet behind the curb, or the me-
chanical arm may not be able to
reach them. DO NOT PLACE
CARTS IN THE STREET, as
that presents a hazard to drivers
and bicyclists and interferes
with parking, storm drainage,
snow plowing and street sweep-
ing. Please also remember that
if severe weather prohibits trash
and recycling collection, the
pick-up day will be delayed by
one day for all residential pick-
ups during the rest of that week.
Med Drop: A 24 hour drop
box is available in the lobby of
the Middleton Police Dept,
7341 Donna Dr. Please empty
pills into plastic sealed bags &
recycle the pill bottles at home.
If you are dropping off liquids
or creams, they may remain in
the original container, but
placed in a sealed bag to avoid
spillage. If you choose to use
the recycling container next to
the MedDrop for pill bottles, it
is incumbent on the MedDrop
user to remove labels & identi-
fying information to protect
their privacy.

The Streak is one of the
most impressive in Wisconsin.
Middletons football team
entered the year having
reached the postseason 21
consecutive seasons the
longest Division 1 streak in
the state. And the Cardinals
added to that remarkable run
last Friday.
Middleton rolled past host
Janesville Parker, 42-0, and
wrapped up a 22nd straight
playoff berth. Hartland
Arrowhead entered the year
tied with Middleton with 21
straight playoff seasons, but
the Warhawks still need one
more win this year to qualify.
Were really proud of that
as a staff, Middleton coach
Tim Simon said. You dont
want to take it for granted. It
doesnt happen without a lot
of hard work, because it says
something when you can go
back year after year. Its defi-
nitely a badge of honor we all
feel proud of.
The Cardinals won their

the Cardinals continued their
recent dominance with their
second shutout in four weeks.
Relatively speaking,
weve seen some growth each
week, Simon said. Weve
had growth and improvement
each week.
Middleton was a model of
efficiency against the Vikings.
The Cardinals ran for 236
yards on 35 carries, an aver-
age of 6.7 yards per attempt.
Senior Dion Huff had 16 car-
ries for 113 yards (7.1) and
two touchdowns. Senior
James Pabst was just as effec-

yards (7.3) and two touch-
downs.
Senior quarterback Davis
Roquet was fantastically
effective, completing 6-of-8

Cardinals edge Verona by two shots for title

It was a good news-bad
news day for Middletons girls
golf team last Thursday.
The good news for the
Cardinals was they won the
Big Eight Conference champi-
onship held at Evansville golf
Course. Middleton shot a 349
and edged Verona by two shots
for the title.
The bad news, though, is
Middleton indeed shot a 349.
That was one of the Cardinals
poorer scores of the year, and
with the postseason looming,
Middleton cant afford many
more rounds like that.
We definitely didnt play
our best down at Evansville,
but the girls were able to find a
way on the back nine to get the
win, Middleton coach Becky
Halverson said. Im proud of
the way they were able to grind
it out and find a way to
win. The girls were not happy
with their play, especially their
short games.
Senior Payton Hodson led
Middleton with an 81, while
sophomore kate Meier fired an
85. Both Hodson and Meier
shot five strokes better on the
back nine than they did the
front.
grace Peterson carded a 90,
while Haley Dunn shot a 93.
Middleton was scheduled to
host a regional Wednesday at
Pleasant View. If the Cardinals
advance there, as expected,
theyll head to the Verona
Sectional on Oct. 4 at
Edelweiss Country Club start-
ing at 8:30 a.m.

a very special year.
So Finnel decided to enter
the Cardinals in the Roy griak
Invitational, one of the most
competitive events anywhere.
The 46-team invitational was
held last Saturday on the
University of Minnesota cam-
pus.
Part of the appeal of going
to griak was seeing more
challenging competition,
Finnel said. But its always
nice to see different competi-
tion and learn how to race on
a big stage.
It appears the big stage
suits the Cardinals just fine, as
they finished sixth overall at
the star-studded event.
great Oak finished first
with just 50 points, while the
Cardinals were sixth with 275
points and West was eighth at
297.
Ultimately, I felt if we
could get the guys to griak
where theres nearly 50 teams
from around the country, we
would be more experienced
and better for it at the state
meet, Finnel said. The
griak course is extremely
vicious, significantly more
expect. I just knew the course
would be challenging. I have
been to many places to race or
coach and this course definite-
ly takes the cake for the most
difficult course Ive seen.
In addition, temperatures
were in the mid-to-upper 80s
all day, making for unfavor-
able racing conditions. But the
Cardinals were up to the chal-
lenge.
Junior Caleb Easton was
seventh overall and finished
in 16 minutes, 40 seconds.
Caleb Easton is arguably
one of the most running-savvy
runners I have known at the
high school level, Finnel
said. He has great awareness
during a race and knows when
to make important moves.
Caleb moved up 20 places
in just a little more than a
mile. I know he would have
liked to place higher, but on a
different weather day we most
likely have gotten more
aggressive and would have
tested going out harder.
Senior Sam Jaeger was
28th overall in 17:03. Jaeger
was in 97th place after one
kilometer, but rallied down
the stretch.
We went in very conser-
vative due to the heat and
hills, Finnel said. I kept
emphasizing we had to be dis-
ciplined to start, begin slow,
and the guys ran and executed
very well. Everyone moved
up from the first part of the
race, which was great to see.
I think most of the guys
felt they had much more left
Michael Madoch raced
quite well, Finnel said. He
got up front and stayed there.
Senior Zach Leffel, whos
been injured for most of the
year, finished 107th in 17:58.
We finally had Jack Rader
go out and compete, Finnel
said. Hes easing his way
back after spraining his ankle.
Jack listened very well and
approached the race more like
a workout. We wanted Jack
there to be a part of the team
experience and today was a
stepping stone towards being
full strength.
Afterwards, Finnel was
thrilled he took his team west,
and he believes it will pay
major dividends next month.
I think one challenging
part for our young guys was
how to move up with so many
bodies and when, Finnel
said. It made for a good
learning experience, because
its an atmosphere much larg-
er than the state meet. We go
into these meets during the
season and you can still see
your teammates, or we at least
know our opponents who are
nearby. However, when the
field is nearly 450 people,
with some of the best teams in
the nation, its easy to get lost
in the shuffle.
The experience was fan-
tastic for our team and I know
the guys had a blast, not to
mention we learned some new
things about how to approach
a very big race, Finnel said.
I really think it will pay off
when we get to state.

Soccer Cards hit road bump
Derek Waleffe (17) and Middletons boys soccer team tied Verona and lost to Mount Horeb last week.
Middleton ties
Verona, falls to
Mount Horeb
by ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
Middletons boys soccer
team has hit the meat of its
schedule. And the Cardinals
have encountered a few bumps
in the road.
Middleton and Verona
played to a scoreless tie last
Tuesday in a game between
Big Eight Conference powers.
Mount Horeb then edged the
Cardinals, 3-2, last Saturday in
a non-conference showdown
between two of the states elite
programs.
Middleton is now 6-2-4
overall and in third place in the
Big Eight at 3-0-2.
The Cardinals and Verona
(9-2-1, 4-0-1) played a terrific
game in which no one could
find the net. Middleton domi-
nated possession in the second
half, but couldnt convert.
Middleton defenders,
Brendan Steele, Noah Pollard
and Carlos Harried all shined,
while keeper Ben Scher played
well in goal to preserve the
shutout.
Very good team,
Middleton coach Ben kollasch
said of the Wildcats. This
Verona team may not have

been more talented than the
West team we beat the previous
week, but they certainly played
a more organized style of soc-
cer.
We solved one riddle in the
second half by dominating the
possession and the momentum,
but we never solved the riddle
of getting the ball in the net to
take the lead.
Middleton then fell to a
Mount Horeb side that has
been to six of the last seven
state tournaments and captured
two state titles since 2011.
Mount Horeb is a good
team, but certainly not as good
as some of the teams we have
already beaten, kollasch said.
Like Verona, they played very
well as a team to get the most
out of the skills they have.
The only goal of the first
half came on beautiful Mount
Horeb counter attack in which
gabriel guenther played
Connor Dyjach in for a break-
away goal.
Middleton evened the score
with a rebound goal by Andrew
Lund in the 50th minute.
Mount Horeb responded
quickly with Connor Long, in
his first game since August due
to injury, finishing a low pass
across the face of goal from
Cameron Eyre in the 52nd
minute. Eyre scored again just
33 seconds later on a Jacob
Culberson pass that led him to
the goal.
We were able to consistent-

ly find space on the flanks of
Middletons back three,
Mount Horeb coach Mark
Newman said. While we did
not score again, we made it dif-
ficult for Middleton to pin us
back and throw all their num-
bers forward.
The Cardinals pulled within
3-2 on a free kick by greg
Pauly in the 72nd minute. But
Mount Horeb held on and
notched a big win against a
state power.
Mount Horeb took advan-
tage of some lucky bounces, an
own goal from us and a goal
scored off a crazy deflection
that went right to their forward
running to goal, kollasch
said. But our bad luck was
very much our own creation.
We forgot all the little things
that create good luck and we
fell back to bad habits that give
the advantage to the oppo-
nents.
