The announcement that
Spectrum, one of Middleton’s
largest employers, is planning
to sell its battery and lighting
assets raises concerns for the
local economy. City officials
say as many as 400 jobs could
be adversely affected, but note
that the city’s TIF investment in
the building should be repaid
before changes take effect.
Spectrum announced the plan
to sell their battery and lighting
assets to St. Louis based com-

Play grapples with gender, friendship and feminism in the digital age
Middleton High School The-
atre presents the Madison area
premiere of Girls Like That.
Performances will run Thurs-
day, Feb. 1 – Saturday, Feb. 3 at
7:30 p.m. at the Middleton Per-
forming Arts Center.
When a nude photograph of
Scarlett goes viral, she becomes
the center of attention for all the
wrong reasons. The play fo-
cuses on the consequences of
living in the digital age but also
has things to say about gender
equality, friendships. and the
state of feminism.
“This is a powerful and im-
portant story to tell at this time
in our history. Although there is
still a long way to go, we are
naming realities about the way
women are perceived and
treated by society,” said Kendra
Dando, director, Middleton
High School Theatre. “By ex-
ploring these challenging issues
that are so true and relevant to
the lives of our students, we
hope to foster discussion and
encourage empathy for all.”
Another layer explored in the
show is around the use of tech-
nology and cyberbullying. The
play is a must-see for adults,
said Dando. “This play portrays
the reality for many students in
middle and high schools across
the country. Kids have always
felt the need to fit in, but tech-
nology has exponentially upped
the ante to create a complex so-
cial world.”
There will be a talk-back
after each show, with a moder-
ator helping the audience exam-
ine what they’ve just seen.
“People will have the opportu-
nity to reflect on the powerful

messages in the show and en-
gage in meaningful discussion
with the cast, crew, and with
each other,” said Dando. She
and the students involved hope
the play is just a starting point
for further dialogue and think-
ing about these topics.  
Girls Like That, written by
Evan Placey, was named Best
Play for Young Audiences at the

Awards 2015. Due to strong
language and mature themes,
the show is recommended for

Landfill continued from page 1

If the county decides to seize the
property for taxes the owners would
get advance notice of foreclosure, an
opportunity to become current on their
tax liability, said Gallagher.
If foreclosure follows, the county
could retain the property, sell to a mu-
nicipality or hold a public auction for
sale to the highest bidder, Gallagher
said.
Several years ago, County Parks Di-
rector Darren Marks said he looked at
the property for recreational possibili-
ties but rejected it.
“It had too many limitations,” Marsh
said, including parking access, thin
soils, and limited usable space.
The property is too small to accom-
modate a regional dog park, which are
40 acres, said Marsh.
DNR and federal officials have rec-
ommended not building over the sur-
face of soil-capped waste.
The property is composed two
parcels, one consists the contaminated
landfill; the second is uncontaminated
but hilly property.
If the town purchased the property
with no liability for the contamination
under federal or state law, said Foss.
Town Engineer Rod Zuebella said
an environmental assessment would be
done prior to acquiring the property for
$2,000 to $5,000.
Some residents voiced opposition to
the buying the old landfill, saying the
risks outweigh the reward.
Board Supervisor Brent Renteria
said there was “no compelling reason
to take on the burden,” of owning the
property.
Town Chair Cynthia Richson said
the benefit to the town owning the
property would be the control it could
exercise over it and protect water
sources in the town.
A decision to buy the property would
be subject to a vote by town residents.

be adversely affected.
“At this time I don’t know
the actual effect of Energizer’s
plans, but the CFO Spectrum
indicated to me that as many as
400 jobs could be affected de-
pending upon the new pur-
chaser’s plans,” Davis says.
“Still, I am very concerned for
the employees’ potential loss or
shift of jobs as well as the effect
on the local economy.”
Spectrum has about 18,000
employees worldwide with
1,200 of those in Wisconsin.
The Middleton headquarters
employs 670 including 200 in
the batteries unit.
Mayor Gurdip Brar says
Spectrum has invested a lot into
its facility and would like to see
it remain in use even if under
new ownership.
“The city has worked with
the developer, and owner of the
building, to create this word
class facility,” Brar says. “I
would hope that all the Spec-
trum employees would stay
here whether they work for
Spectrum or their new owner, if
the transaction does happen.”
“Hopefully, Spectrum would
expand their remaining busi-
nesses, or perhaps buy new
business, to keep this facility vi-
brant and fully utilized,” Brar
adds.
Regarding the city’s TIF in-
vestment in Spectrum (through
developer/landlord John
Livesey), the city’s finance di-
rector Bill Burns says the com-
pany is on track to completely
pay off the TIF debt by 2020.
“Currently the real estate
value of the property is
$38,597,700 with an additional
$10,349,800 in personal prop-
erty,” Burns says. “At this valu-
ation the incentives from both
agreements are expected to be
fully paid by 2020.”
Executive director of the
Middleton Chamber of Com-
merce Van Nutt says he hopes
for the best outcome for Mid-
dleton employees.
“We wish the Rayovac em-
ployees at Spectrum Brands the
best possible outcome through
the Energizer acquisition
process – the uncertainties are
daunting,” Nutt says.
“In a perfect world, we’d
want every one of them to re-
main employed in Middleton,”
he added.

The Cross Plains Village

day, small, mixed-age groups of
15 students are taught about
PBIS expectations (Positive Be-

community.
High school students, too,
spend some time with these
younger students to help pre-

into high school. The Bridges

families, helping them find
needed resources.
Metz speaks highly of all his
toward giving students more
voice, and choice.
He gives praise to the
school’s PTO as they become
more supportive and involved
in the life of the school.
When the police have been
called out to Glacier Creek to
assist in conflict struggles, it is
usually for a short time, such as
15 minutes or so, and the police
use these as “teachable mo-
ments” - discussing with the
child what impact his/her ac-
tions have on those around
them, as well as how conse-
will help students see police of-
ficers in a more positive light,
develop a relationship with him,
and as a result, perhaps prevent
potential conflict struggles as
the SRO works with them on
positive ways to deal with con-
flict or trauma.
Community volunteers also
make a huge difference. Metz
spoke of one volunteer in par-
ticular who is in his 3rd year of
working with one individual
student. This student has made
great strides due to the consis-

unteer’s time spent with an in-

greatest progress is seen.
Metz looks at the skills and
strengths of any interested com-

performing a background check

childcare. Fritz opened Little
Vikings Academy in the Village
of Mount Horeb two years ago,
and she’s currently working to
open a third location in Barn-
eveld. The Cross Plains loca-
tion, which is open and taking
enrollment now, is the perfect
fit with their philosophy, ac-
cording to Fritz.
“This is an opportunity to
offer childcare opportunities in
Cross Plains, which is a grow-
ing area,” she says. “We found,
in talking to families, that this
was a big need.”
If the address sounds famil-
iar, that’s because it was previ-
ously a childcare center under
completely different ownership.
When that facility closed, Fritz
says local families were left
scrambling.
“We wanted to help the com-
munity out, like we did in
Mount Horeb,” she states.
For obvious reasons, people
care where they send their chil-
dren. This is, as Fritz points out,
“the most important time in a
child’s development.”
“We’re working on establish-
ing trust,” Fritz explains. “Get-
ting the message to families that
we are an entity you can trust
with your children. It’s very im-
portant to have a lot of commu-
nity investment.”
Like its counterparts, Little
Cardinals accepts children from
the ages of six weeks to 10
years, and it also offers four-
year-old kindergarten.
But Cross Plains is a distinct
community. It’s part of the Mid-
dleton-Cross Plains Area
School District, hence the “Car-
dinals” moniker, and it is more
spread out, geographically, than
some other area villages.
Fritz says it’s important to
provide childcare locally, so
that parents don’t have to shut-
tle their children to and from a
facility in Madison, or even
Middleton, before and after
Mobius Holdings, Inc. has expanded its childcare services to
the Cross Plains area with the opening of its newest facility, Lit-
tle Cardinals Academy located at  1805 Bourbon Rd. Cross
Plains, WI. It also operates the Academy of Little Vikings 4k &
Childcare in Mt Horeb in its signature big red barn. Pictured
above, Jessica Eiden (left) and Brenda Fritz.
sure families feel welcomed,”
states Eiden.
“It sounds cliché, I know, but
I also love to see the kids grow,”
she continues. “We like to see
how excited they get, and how
proud they are. That creates a
sense of accomplishment for us
as educators.”
It’s also fitting that they are
working together in Cross
Plains, because it was as teach-
ers in the Middleton-Cross
Plains Area School District that
Eiden and Fritz first met.
“We really liked a lot of what
Middleton-Cross Plains did
with its 4K, and we brought
many of those ideas to Mount
Horeb with us,” Fritz says.
“Now, it’s kind of come full cir-
cle, because we’re serving the
Times-Tribune photo by Matt Geiger
because she wants her kids to
interact with the many different
elements in the greater Cross
Plains community.
“There are so many opportu-
nities [for that],” she says.
It’s all part of that “sneaky
learning” she talked about ear-
lier, of course.
We’re doing science, we’re
doing math, we’re doing read-
ing,” she says. “We’re doing it
all through something that
works best for the child, and
that’s play.”

also reminded the Board that
costs are preliminary and don’t
include any operational ex-
penses. There is an Scenario 3A
and 3B, which was done be-
cause of an FPC request to see
what happens to capacity if a
new middle school comes on
line in 2024 or 2026.
She noted additional poten-
tial projects that don’t impact
capacity include a Sauk Trail
lunch room renovation, a cafe-
teria at Park, parking improve-
ments at West Middleton and
what to do with the CSCS
building.
Graham then reviewed each
of the scenarios. She noted
those scenarios that include
phasing are higher due to in-
creased costs due to inflation.
J.H. Findorff’s Matt Premo said
the potential costs were based
on an inflation rate of 3.75 per-
cent.
Board members expressed
concerns about how much over-
capacity some levels are if wait
to do phasing. Bob Green noted
the Board must also keep in
mind the tax impact and how
much the community is willing
to support. The Board also had
a discussion about the middle
school level and the challenge
of either being overcrowded or
overbuilding.
Board members also had
questions about if a new ele-
mentary school at Pope Farms
includes keeping fifth-graders
there in the short-term that they
have the same programming op-
portunities that fifth-graders get
at the middle schools. Superin-
tendent George Mavroulis said
they would.
Hesselbein then briefly re-
viewed the FPC’s meeting on
Dec. 12. He said members un-
derstand enrollment challenges

tary levels need to be addressed

He said there are concerns
with Scenario 1, which doesn’t
provide enough capacity at the
middle school level. There are
also concerns with Scenario 2,
which overbuilds at the middle
school level and has a bigger
Phase 2 price tag than any other
scenario. He also said the FPC
likes the scenarios that provide
for three similar-sized middle
schools.
FPC members realize they
lost a couple of months due to
new enrollment projections but
believe they are still on track to
finish their work by the late
spring, he said. Members want
to come to consensus on the op-
tions to share with the commu-
nity before the workshops in

ond meeting in January is
planned if the FPC isn’t com-
fortable with where things are

Mavroulis noted that EUA

MHS overcomes adversity
Brunker-less Cardinals
surge past Marquette
BY ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
BROOKFIELD —
Middleton’s boys basketball
team was living the dream last
Saturday afternoon.
The Cardinals had just top-
pled Milwaukee Marquette,
60-54, at the Luke Homan
Memorial Showcase held at
Brookfield Central. And as a
reward, Middleton was head-
ed to Kopp’s — one of its
favorite restaurant’s in the
area.
Just one problem. When
the Cardinals returned, they
discovered their bus had bro-
ken down.
“What are you going do?”
asked Middleton coach Kevin
Bavery.
Well, adjust for one. And
the Cardinals proved through-
out the day that’s something
they were pretty good at.
Middleton’s win over the
Hilltoppers came with leading
scorer and likely first-team
all-Big Eight Conference
player Brogan Brunker side-
lined with a sprained ankle.
With Brunker out, senior
forward Davis Roquet scored
13 points and senior guard
Alan Roden added nine points
and played stellar defense on
Marquette leading scorer Niko
Kerschner. Cardinals senior
forward Nick Michaels added
eight points, highlighted by a
half court shot just before the
TIMES-TRIBUNE PAGE 9
Sports
halftime buzzer.
Middleton, which fell to
Big Eight Conference co-
leader Sun Prairie the night
before, improved to 8-7 over-
all and 6-5 in the league.
“We can play at a high
level. We know that,” Roquet
said. “We’ve just got to take
care of the ball. Our coach has
all of the answers. We’ve just
got to listen.”
Bavery and his group
adjusted awfully well to their
transportation issues, as well.
When it was discovered a
new bus wouldn’t be available
for a couple of hours, several
players rode home with par-
ents. Bavery, his wife Mary,
assistant coach Jerry Raffel
and JV coach Tim Simon
stayed back. A handful of JV
players also gave up their
spots in cars, so the varsity
players could get home soon-
er.
“They did what leaders
do,” Simon said of the JV
players that stayed back. “I’m
really proud of these guys.”
Bavery was awfully proud
of his team, too.
Just 18 hours earlier, the
Cardinals played without
Brunker for the first time this
season and were hammered by
Sun Prairie, 65-40. But
Middleton turned things
around quickly and defeated a
talented Marquette team (7-6).

Finnel named Coach of the Year

BY ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
Brian Finnel wanted a state
championship.
Middleton’s boys cross coun-
try coach got exactly that, when
the Cardinals won a state title in
October. Then Finnel — and
Middleton’s entire program —
got a little bit more.
Finnel was recently named
Wisconsin’s Coach of the Year
by the U.S. Track & Field and
Cross Country Coaches
Association (USTFCCCA).
One boys’ coach  and  one
girls’ coach from each of the 50
states and the District of
Columbia were honored for
their successes during the fall of
2017, as selected by a commit-
tee of experts from around the
nation. Dodgeland’s Barry
Smanz was the girls’ winner in
Wisconsin.
The winners from each state
are now in consideration for the
association’s National High
School Cross Country Coach of
the Year award. One boys coach
and one girls’ coach from each
state will be selected by a panel
of experts and be announced
later this month as the national
winners.
“I feel very honored to be
recognized as the Wisconsin
Boys Coach of the Year and it’s
neat to be considered for U.S.
Coach of the Year,” Finnel said.
“Much of the credit of course

Seventh
heaven
Girls basketball team pushes
winning streak to seven
BY ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
In two short months,
they’ve improved by leaps
and bounds.
Early season losses are a
distant memory. Today,
Middleton’s girls basketball
team has strung together
seven straight wins and is one
of the hottest teams around.
Last Saturday, the
Cardinals gave another terrific
performance and routed
Madison West, 75-41.
Middleton improved to 10-5
overall and sits in third place
in the Big Eight Conference at
8-3.
“We’re getting better over-
all,” said Middleton coach
Jeff Kind.  “Slowly, we’re
reducing our turnovers,
improving our rebounding and
getting better shot selec-
tion.  We’re learning to trust
our offense and take advan-
tage of our better scoring
options.”
Sophomore Sitori Tanin led
the Cardinals with 19 points,
while Halle White added 11.
Both Karina Bursac and Haley
Dunn added eight points.
“Sitori will be a good scor-
er for us when we learn to use
her and when she learns to
take advantage of her physical
abilities,” Kind said. “She and
we, are starting to do that. She
has the ability to be a domi-
nant inside scorer if she takes
advantage of her jumping
ability and strength.”
Middleton struggled with
turnovers and led just 33-26 at
half. But the Cardinals blew
things open and ran away in
the second half.
“We played better defense
in the second half against
West and cut down on
turnovers,” Kind said. “We
get hurt when we go through
stretches of consecutive
turnovers.
“We had a stretch of
turnovers on five of six pos-
sessions in the first half that
allowed them to stay in the
game. We did a nice job on the
defensive boards (just four
offensive rebounds for West)
and found our post players for
a combined 43 points.”
• On deck: Middleton is at
Janesville Craig Friday at
7:30 p.m., then hosts Sun
Prairie on Tuesday at 7:30
p.m. The Cardinals then host
Verona on Thursday at 7:30
p.m.
All three of those teams
defeated the Cardinals during
the first round of conference
play, so these games will all
be barometers to measure the
strides Middleton has made.
“The week ahead is big to
see how we’ve improved,”
Kind said.
• From the infirmary:
Junior point guard Charlotte
Dunn will miss the rest of the
season with compartment syn-
drome.
“We received a blow to our
depth,” Kind said. “That will
require our other point guards
to log more minutes and run
and direct our offense — a tall
order for sophomores. 
“I’m looking forward to the
challenge! The big keys will
be taking care of the ball and
playing solid defense. We’ll
see how far we’ve come.”

pointers in a 30-second win-
dow to give Middleton its
biggest lead of the first half.
“I think the team needs to
adjust if anyone is missing,”
Roden said. “I wouldn’t say I
was looking to take more
shots. Just, you know, Brogan
is an offensive threat and we
all had to do a little bit more.”
Marquette went on a 15-3
run, though, and took a 27-24
lead with 4 seconds left in the
first half. Middleton quickly
inbounded the ball to
Michaels, who took two drib-
bles and drained a 50-footer
as the halftime buzzer sound-
ed.
“I don’t know if it was a
jolt as much as everyone just
lightened up and loosened
up,” Bavery said of Michaels’
three-pointer that tied the
game, 27-27, at halftime.
“And I think that really got us
loose.”
Marquette scored the first
basket of the second half, but
Middleton answered with an
8-0 run to take a 35-29 lead.
And even though the
Cardinals’ lead ranged
between one and seven points
the rest of the night,
Middleton never trailed again.
Senior forward Brian
Vergenz drained a corner
three-pointer to start the burst
and Roquet split a pair of free
throws. Vergenz followed
with a lay-up on a nifty feed
from senior guard Joel
Ticknor, then junior guard
Sam Close drilled a 19-footer.
Marquette clawed back
within 45-44 after a three-
pointer from junior sharp-
shooter Joey Platz (16 points)
with 4:20 left. That’s when
Roden and Roquet combined
for arguably the biggest play
of the night.
Roden posted up and
caught the ball on the low
right block. Marquette imme-
diately sent a double team and
the two defenders tried tying
Roden up.
But Roden, a Creighton
University baseball recruit,
fought through the double
team and found a wide-open
Roquet on the right wing.
Roquet let a three-point shot
fly that hit nothing but net to
give Middleton a 48-44 lead.
From there, Marquette
never came closer than two
points.
“Whenever I get in there, I
look to shoot first, then I look
to kick it out,” Roden said.
“It’s kind of a running joke
that every time I pass it out to
Davis for a three he misses.
But it was a great shot.”
Roquet, who played some
power forward with Brunker
missing, had a handful of
those. Roquet made two three-
point shots and 5-of-6 free
throws.
“I know Alan’s strong with
the ball down low,” Roquet
said. “And he can score or hit
shooters all day. So I’m
always ready … and I knew it
was coming.
“The stroke felt good. I’ve
been shooting a lot more in
practice and just wanted to
stay in the rhythm and shoot
with confidence.”
Middleton made just one
field goal the rest of the way.
But the Cardinals hit 10-of-
12 free throws in the final
2:11 and kept Marquette at
bay. Overall, Middleton hit
20-of-24 free throws (83.3%)
and made 17-of-20 foul shots
in the second half (85.0%).
“I think I learned that
we’re pretty tough,” Roden
