Police department strives

to become more diverse
Chief wants force

to reflect entire
community
by MILA HAYES-MORALES
Times-Tribune
Racial disparities in police

departments have been a hot
topic ever since the events in
Ferguson, MO in August 2014
which sprouted violence and
friction between policemen and
diverse communities.
The reality is that police stations around the country often
do not reflect the makeup of the

communities they serve, and
Middleton, historically, has not
been an exception. Even though
many efforts has been taking
place in Dane County, area police forces have typically lacked
minority officers.
In the worst cases across the
country, this issue causes rivalry
and mistrust between police officers with residents, eroding
the bridge of communication
between community and authorities. Also, the misrepresentation of the community can
lead to misunderstandings which

make police work
more
tedious and
complex,
say officers.
Salinas
Middleton Police Chief Chuck Foulke
said he is committed to increase[ing] the diversity of the
department. And even though
he has been chief less than two
years, Foulke already has a plan
in action.
At this
time, the
Middleton
Police Department
has
37
sworn police officers,
Gama
29 are white
males, six are white females and
two are Hispanic males. Thirty
two of our officers have Bachelors Degrees, the rest meet the
state minimum of 60 college
credits, Foulke stated.
While the numbers do not yet

exactly match the citys ethnic
makeup, they are increasingly
diverse, and Foulke has been a
vocal campaigner for more diversity ever since he took over
the department. Following the
Census of 2010, Middleton
racial makeup of the city was
87.1 percent White, 3.5 percent
African American, 0.3 percent
Native American, 4.2 percent
Asian, 2.3 percent from other
races, and 2.5 percent from two
or more races. Hispanic or
Latino of any race were 5.6 per-
cent of the population.

The Hispanic population has
increased steadily since 2010
and police efforts around the
state have been ramped up to
get more Hispanic officers into
the field.
Foulke said he believes the
people who spend time in Middleton are actually more diverse
than the residential numbers indicate.
I find those figures misleading ... because higher percent-

Middleton Outreach Ministry (MOM) is thanking Middleton Farmers Co-op for their donation to help End Hunger and Prevent Homelessness in our Community. The donation was generously matched by the Land OLakes Foundation. Pictured is
Leo Acker, president of the Middleton Farmers Co-op and Al Ripp, executive director of MOM. David Rischmueller is the general manager of the co-op; both organizations have been supporting MOM for the past several years.
The Middleton Town Board

is considering adding a position
to supervise employees who
work on town roads, parks and
trails plus accompanying administrative duties.
One hundred thousand dollars was added to the 2016
budget to fund the Field Operations Manager position to supervise the three full-time road
crew staff and an equal number
of seasonal park employees.
On Monday, the town board
continued to fine tune the
FOMs job description would
not commit to putting the position on the payroll this year
without further study.
This $100,000 a year [position] needs to be justified, said
Board Supervisor Paul Connell.

We need to show the metrics
of what were talking about,
Board Supervisor Tim Roehl
said.
Adding a FOM could shift
some of the work traditionally
done for the town by consulting
engineers, Vierbicher, Inc.
Town Administrator David
Shaw said Vierbicher has been
doing less non-engineering
work for the town than it has in
the past and a FOM would give
the town the ability to do more.

Committee of the Whole met Saturday to look at return on past TIF and upcoming proposals
by CAMERON BREN
Times-Tribune
The Middleton Committee of

the Whole (COW), which is
made up of the common council
and plan commission, met Saturday and reviewed ongoing
TIF projects in the city and new
ones coming down the
pipeline.
City finance director John
Lehman presented graphs to the
COW that demonstrated the increment generated from TIF
projects from 2007 to present.
With the exception of the TIF
agreement with Natus medical
device company, every project
had generated increment.

City administrator Mike
Davis explained that the reason
for no increment was because
the building Natus renovated
and built out had a higher assessed value in 2007 than after
the financial crisis and the latest
assessment after the renovation. Davis noted though that
the way the agreement is based
on tax increment projections
and no payment will be made
by the city if no increment is
generated.
We havent given them any
money, Davis said to the
COW. If they generate the tax
increment then they get the
money, if they dont, then they

dont.
In the case of Costco the assessed value came down in a
subsequent assessment, therefore the increment wasnt what
it was originally projected.
Davis explained that again that
in the terms of the agreement it
comes down to a loss for the developer rather than the city.
City Planning Director Eileen
Kelley presented areas the city
could target to promote development. The areas include the
planned medical district made
up of the 13 acres UnityPoint
Health Meriter purchased for a
new medical campus and surrounding land. Kelley said the
city can expect to get proposals
for complimentary medical uses
as well as residential and commercial infill.
Another area is the avenue
area west of the beltline. Kelley
says it has potential for redevelopment. She said Greenway
Station and Greenway Center

has potential new office and
commercial space, as well as
possibilities for private partnerships with utilities for renewable energy infrastructure.
Kelley said the Graber Pond
area could see more corporate
building proposals and is an important area for transportation.
Kelley also pointed out the
historic Pheasant Branch area
could support new developments that fit with the citys
concept plan celebrating the
historic structures and maintaining and infilling with projects
that are complimentary.
She said the Lake View
Neighborhood and business district has had some infill as well
as storm water management improvements that could be continued and the downtown has
had three recent redevelopments and a fourth is underway.
The projects in the pipeline
have either been approved or

are working through the process
right now. Starting with the
ones that have already been approved are the Fiskars headquarters. The new facility will
accommodate up to 400 employees in 108,000-square-feet
of office, research and development space. The common
council approved $3,150,000 in
TIF for the international consumer products supplier to
move its Americas headquarters
to Middletons Discovery
Springs business park. Construction is set to start in spring.
Council approved a TIF
agreement with Primrose
School for $300,000 to cover
extraordinary
development
costs due to poor soils. The
school will offer preschool and
after school services at 3000
Deming Way in the heart of the
citys commercial district.
Meadow Ridge Apartments
beginning construction on
spring will be a 95 unit with 80
percent of the units designated
for workforce housing on Lisa
Lane just west of Parmenter
Ave. A $2.1 million TIF agreement was approved by the
council.
A $2 million in TIF agreement was also approved by
council for assisting Pharmaceutical Product Development
(PPD) in a nearly $29 million
expansion that they say will
bring at least 227 new jobs to
the area.
A TIF request for $7.8 million is was approved conceptually by council for Market West
Apartments proposing to develop a six acre parcel at the
north end of Greenway Station
on Market Street into three new
buildings each with approximately 84,000 square feet of
commercial space and 80 apartment units.
The council also approved
concept of an estimated $7.7
million TIF request for redevelopment of Old Middleton Center.
Developer Uptown
Middleton, a sub-tier LLC of T.
Wall Enterprises, is planning a
complete teardown to construct
seven mixed use buildings with
205 residential units, 62,000
square feet of commercial and
office space, and 540 parking
stalls with a significant portion
underground.
Finally, Mazur Realty requested a developer financed
TIF agreement for $653,562 to
assist in developing a 16 unit
multi-family building, with a
mixture of one, two and three
bedrooms and underground
parking on Parmenter called
Cardinal Row Apartments. The
council approved the concept.
Ald. Sullivan asks: How

much is too much to spend
on workforce housing?
by CAMERON BREN
Times-Tribune
Following a rigorous discussion about the potential implications of the recently adopted
workforce housing policy at a
common council meeting the
policy was discussed at the
Committee of the Whole
(COW) Saturday. The COW
discussed the role of workforce
housing in the citys TIF districts and the expected contribution from the city and
developers.
Alder Mark Sullivan raised
concerns about the citys workforce housing policy when the
common council was asked to
grant concept approval for a
TIF request that included $1.5
million in funding for workforce housing.
In the past two weeks we
have proposed to give out $2.2
to $2.5 million dollars in workforce housing, so we are already
at 25 percent of that budget
item, Sullivan stated. My
concern is that we dont go into
this with our eyes closed and
have some understanding that
workforce housing is an expense to the city regardless of
whether it is TIF developer financed or whatever mechanism,
there is a true cost to this.
Sullivan says in the case of
the current proposals there is no
risk to developers.
The whole idea of these
guidelines was to entice a developer to pay some of that and
we are not doing that, Sullivan
explained. The projects that
are coming forward do not have
a match, the developer is basically inoculated against any risk
from workforce housing.
Assistant director of community development Abby Attoun
pointed out that the policy doesnt specifically say there has to
be a developer match, but rather

a match of other funding
sources. She explained that
other funding sources can be
hard to qualify for especially for
smaller projects and that there is
always limited funding available.
All Im asking is that the
council consider that the cost
for workforce housing should
be shared by the parties involved and it shouldnt be all on
the city, Sullivan said. We
shouldnt take the fact that because this is TIF, it is free
money.
City planning director Eileen
Kelley pointed out that even
with the workforce housing part
of the agreement there would
still be increment generated
from the project that sparked
Sullivans concerns.
Alder Gurdip Brar said he expected there would be more
contribution from developers
and hopes that the city would
not subsidize workforce housing on its own.
Alder JoAnna Richard said
she could understand Sullivans
point if he is suggesting the city
needs a policy lens to ensure
consistency of the process when
working with developers. She
said she would be willing to
work with the workforce housing committee to create a list of
steps city staff could work
through for future proposals.
Sullivan said what he meant
was that there should be a set of
guidelines that lay out a specific
amount that should be spent on
workforce housing in the TIF
plan.
Mayor Sonnentag said he
disagreed and Sullivan pushed
back
Ill put you on the spot,
Sullivan said. How much are
you willing to spend on the
citys behalf for workforce
the upcoming event will showcase Wisconsins 70s Superstar

Band VO5. Tailgaters that
come in 70s Athletic Wear will
receive one free raffle ticket.
We are banking on another
stellar year, said MHS Athletic
Director Bob Joers. If it wasnt for the funds the Cardinal
Booster Club raises, we wouldnt have the amazing athletic
programs that we do. The
MHS Tailgate party is one of
Star Wars at City Hall
housing?
Sonnentag said he didnt
know because each project
should be evaluated as it comes
along. Sullivan argued that
there needs to be an overall goal
and cannot be done case by
case, because taken to its logical
extreme every dollar of increment created would be spent on
workforce housing.
I think all of us are capable
of evaluating projects as they
come along, Sonnentag shot
back. I think we have done a
very good job over the last few
years of doing that.
But there are no boundaries
with this, Sullivan interjected.
The boundaries are what
passes council, Sonnentag
countered.
Attoun pointed out that there
is no set of guidelines they says
explicitly how much the city
should allocate to any other TIF
eligible expense. She said instead it falls into broad categories.
It is the same way with
workforce housing where the
city would only be subsidizing
the incremental expense of
workforce housing, the same
way with soil remediation or
demolition or sustainability features like solar, Attoun said.
The city would never subsidize
more than the incremental cost
to the developer.
City administrator Mike
Davis noted that none of the developments or any workforce
housing could be done if they
didnt have a successful TIF
district and that it is one of the
only tools the city has to influence developers.
Alder Richard said she thinks
the method the city is using is a
good idea because it mixes affordable housing throughout the
city rather than condense it to
one area.

On Saturday, January 30, Star Wars fans gathered at City Hall. Tables were set up with
activities, such as Make a Glowing Mini Lightsaber, Make Your Own Yoda Ears, and Create
a Chewbacca Bookmark. But the highlight of the event was the special guests: Darth Vader,
two stormtroopers, an At-At driver, and other denizens of the Empire. The characters mingled with the crowd, and participants found out that Darth Vader is actually pretty friendly,
when you get to know him! This event was originally scheduled to take place at the library,
but due to roof repairs, it was moved to City Hall. Many thanks to City Hall for accommodating the event, to the Friends of the Middleton Public Library for funding it, and for

Scholard For Life program

kicks off with mathematician
by DEB BIECHLER
Times-Tribune
The New Year brings a new

lecture series to the Middleton
Public Library.
The series,
Scholard For Life, is a collaboration between the library
and the UW-Madison Speakers
Bureau.
James Ramsey, Head of
Adult Services at the Middleton
Library since 2012, has been
working with the bureau to
arrange for the speakers.
Since I started at the Middleton Library, I have always
thought that we should somehow take advantage of the great
resource that we have just up
the road at UW- Madison, he
stated.
According to Ramsey, Taking the Wisconsin Idea as its
starting point, this series aims to
promote lifelong learning, intellectual curiosity, and engagement between academics and
the community as a whole.
The general principle of the
Wisconsin Idea is that education should influence peoples
lives beyond the classroom. It
has become the guiding influence of university outreach here
in Wisconsin and around the
globe.
The origin of Wisconsins
Idea is often attributed to former UW Chancellor Charles
Van Hise who served in that capacity from 1903 to 1918. In a
1904 address, Van Hise said: I
shall never be content until the
beneficent influence of the University reaches every home in
the state.
In 1912 Charles McCarthy
wrote a book titled The Wisconsin Idea which popularized
Van Hises sentiments along
with other progressive reforms
in Wisconsin, particularly in the
state legislature. The book captured the attention of, then president, Theodore Roosevelt.
Roosevelt contributed to the
forward in the book, writing,
In Wisconsin there has been a
successful effort to redeem the
promises by performances, and
TOWN
residents on road and park issues. That would give her more
time for other duties including
elections can have become
more time consuming for
towns.
It could result in things
shifting from you to the Field
Operations Manager and some
from Vierbicher to you, said
Town Chair Bill Kolar.
The town also has grown significantly during the past 20
years and has improved in how
it delivers services to residents,
said Shaw.
We used to have volunteers
UW-Madison Mathematician Jordan Ellenberg will

present the inaugural lecture
in the Scholard For Life series on Thursday, Feb. 18 at 7
p.m.
to reduce theories into practice.

As time passed, the Wisconsin Idea became more broadly
known as the Universitys commitment to public service, particularly in bringing education
to the lives of Wisconsin citizens wherever they are.
The Wisconsin Speakers Bureau is a result of and an embodiment of this commitment.
In a website brochure, the Bureau describes what it does:
We work with communities
throughout Wisconsin, bringing
faculty and staff with expertise
in a variety of disciplines. Professional, community, and civic
organizations, as well as
schools, are invited to request a
UW-Madison speaker.
Ramsey, on behalf of the
Middleton Public Library and
its patrons, accepted the
Speakers Bureaus invitation.
Historically, public libraries
have always had the mission of
life-long learning, fostering
learning and scholarship to the
people, Ramsey said. Its a
long tradition, going on since
the 18th century.
And, Ramsey continued, I
have always found this to be a
very engaged and intellectually
curious community.
Former library director Paul
Nelson recognized this about
Middleton as well. He helped
the Middleton Public Library to
build the largest collection of
build trails and mow areas
thats being done by staff now,
he said.
The town also has added 11
miles of roads and 12 miles of
trails since 1995 which takes
more time to maintain, said
Ludtke.
Board Supervisor Gary Whitney did not think that adding a
FOM would result in savings
for the town, but hopefully it
would take more off your
plate, he said to Ludtke and
Shaw.
Roehl has long advocated for
the town to put an engineer on
University on the Go and

Great Courses programs in
the county.
The collection of programs
contain lectures in a variety of
academic disciplines, on a variety of subjects.
This is a widely used collection, said Ramsey.
The Scholard For Life series, like the collections of university lectures that patrons can
check out, represent a variety of
disciplines including the hard
sciences as well as social sciences and humanities.
UW-Madison Mathematician
Jordan Ellenberg will present
the inaugural lecture in the
Scholard For Life series on
February 18th at 7:00 PM. This
event has been moved to Middleton City Hall, across the
street from the library, because
of emergency construction
work being done to repair the library roof. He is also the NY
Times Bestselling author of
How Not to Be Wrong. The
book spent many weeks on the
bestseller lists in 2014,
The series will continue with
a lecture by historian Stephen
Kantrowitz entitled Who Freed
the Slaves? Making Sense of
Civil War Slave Emancipation.
Kantrowitz will present on
April 14th at 7:00 PM. He is
also the author of More Than
Freedom: Fighting for Black
Citizenship in a White Republic, 1829-1889.
Professors Jim Lattis (astronomy) and Jennifer RatnerR o s e n h a g e n
(history/philosophy) are tentatively scheduled for later in the
year.
Scholard For Life is a free

series and open to the public.
Although it is not necessary, it
is helpful to call the library to
make a reservation in advance
of the programs. The number is
608-831-5564.

that the position would save the
town money by drastically reducing the work it now has
Vierbicher perform. Hiring a
FOM is a step in that direction,
he said after Monday nights
meeting.
Were getting close to it (an
engineer on staff). Once the
staff sees it and the board sees
it, it will eventually happen, he
said.

Vierbicher and is the Town Engineer, was absent from Mondays meeting.
The Man in Black

shows his true colors

Adam Lee is cashing out. After spending more than two years portraying Johnny Cash in
the Tony Award-winning musical Million Dollar Quartet, he is preparing to release a solo
album of original material. The Cashin Out Tour features all-new original music by Adam
Lee along with songs from his previous outfit The Dead Horse Sound Company.
The tour will come to Middleton on Thursday, February 11at The Club Tavern located at
1915 Branch St. The show starts at8 p.m.and also features local group The Madpolecats.
Admission is free.
Before taking on the role of the man in black, Lee fronted the Dead Horse Sound Company,
a scrappy alternative country band with traditionalist leanings. His low baritone was distinct
and the group garnered some noteworthy attention - an Ameripolitan Award nomination and
song placements in two of writer/director Kevin Smiths films (Red State, TUSK). It is also
what ultimately landed him his role with the Chicago production of Million Dollar Quartet the citys longest running Broadway musical.
As that production closes its seven year run in the windy city, Lee has been looking forward.
The Cashin Out Tour is just that, he says, a chance to step away from a very rewarding
experience and move on to something new. The Quartet has been amazing, and Im excited
to take all of that experience and throw it into my original work. I really cant wait.
The Cashin Out Tour, including appearances at the Folk Alliance International Conference
in Kanas City, has Lee returning to some familiar stomping ground, Midwest and Southern
markets, but this time offers the first glimpse of his solo material. Combining elements of
rock, country, and rhythm and blues, this show promises to entertain and is recommended
for fans of John Prine, Jason Isbell, and Sturgil Simpson.
These drinking songs have got the best of me... singsAdam Lee on Good Days, a track
off of his debut solo album. Some would dispute that fact. For the last few years, Lee has
traveled the U.S. and beyond promoting When the Spirits Move Me, his bourbon-soaked
tribute to classic country. With his newest effort, he broadens his scope. Sure, youll find references to alcohol and other classic country tropes, but youll also find a fearless and refreshing vulnerability, as well as elements of rock, Americana, and rhythm & blues.
The board asked Shaw and

Ludtke to compile a comparison
of how road and trail mileage
and park acreage has increased
in the past 15 years or more, to
show the need for a FOM and
report back at a future meeting.
The report could show
whether there is a need for a
FOM and how busy they may
be,
The board budgeted the FOM
position not only because the
town has grown over time but it
performs more services than it
did before, Shaw said previ-

We also need more formality in how things are taken care
of. Were not a city or a village
with a big public works department and we dont need one,
but wed like more assistance in
doing the things we do now, he
said earlier this month.
In recent years, the town has
increased staff by adding an office assistant/receptionist, promoted Deputy Clerk Patti
Keichinger from part time to
full time and hired three seasonal park rangers.

Rebecca Williams, PhD, a research scientist with the Planetary Science Institute, thrilled people young and old who packed Saint Lukes Lutheran Church to learn about her work with
rovers that are researching the Red Planet. Today, what I want to do is take you on a journey
to Mars, she began. Williams, speaking on Thursday, Jan. 21, did not disappoint. She spoke of
this as being an enormously exciting time to explore the diverse planet, which is roughly one
half the size of Earth, has a volcano the size of Arizona, boasts largest canyon system in the solar
system, and is even home to polar ice caps.
We see ancient riverbeds on the surface, Williams said, calling it very similar to ancient
Earth.
It really begs the question, was there ever life on Mars? she added. Williams, who lives in
Waunakee, works with two rovers that currently prowl Mars surface to glean information about
the planet. The Curiosity rover, she showed the crowd, has even taken a selfie on the planets
surface.

CPR can save lives

To the editor,
As a resident of Middleton and a

nurse practitioner, I work to promote
health, wellness, and safety of my patients, family, friends, and the people in
our community. If someone in your
family, a neighbor, or even someone in
the grocery store collapsed from sudden
cardiac arrest, would you know what to
do?
According to the American Heart Association, surviving a cardiac arrest requires immediate bystander CPR
followed by the timely use of an AED.
For every minute without CPR, survival
from a cardiac arrest decreases 7-10 percent. This is why knowing how to do
CPR is so important.
Here in Wisconsin legislation has
been introduced that would ensure that
all students learn hands-only CPR be-
TO THE
fore they graduate from high school.

Hands only CPR without the use of
mouth to mouth resuscitation has been
shown to be effective. These bills have
made it through the committee process
and are ready to be voted on in the full
Senate and full Assembly.
I support this effort because I am convinced it will save lives!
Imagine the impact if thousands of
students every year learn how to save
lives by performing CPR. It may be you
or one of your loved ones who benefits.
This law would benefit all of Wisconsin
because in many areas of our state, the
need for trained bystanders is even
greater due to longer response times for
volunteer EMS services in rural areas.
In Milwaukee County in 2013, 778 people suffered a cardiac arrest and only
10.2 percent survived. Evidence shows
that CPR initiated promptly by a by-
stander can double or even triple the

chances of survival. Schools present an
opportunity to teach young people how
to respond to cardiac arrests.
In less than the time it takes to watch
a 30-minute sitcom, we can give students the skills they need to help save
someones life with CPR. CPR training
empowers our youth, giving them the
skills they need to be lifesavers. To date,
27 states have passed this CPR legislation ensuring all students are trained in
basic CPR prior to high school graduation. We hope that Wisconsin will be
the 28th state! Please contact your lawmakers and ask them to support CPR
in Schools

Dont forget to bring photo ID to the

polls starting with February 16 Primary
PAGE 8
Starting with the statewide

spring primary on Tuesday,
February 16, Wisconsin voters
will be required to provide
proper identification (ID) before being allowed to vote. This
means all voters must have one
of the following IDs when
going to the polls: a drivers license with a photograph, a passport with a photograph, a
military ID with a photograph
or a Department of Transportation (DOT) photograph ID.
If voters dont posses any of
these IDs, they can be obtained

from the DOT. A certified birth
certificate is needed. The government will help with any
charges.
Voters must take proper ID to
the polling place every time
they vote, including the Spring
Election and Presidential Preference Vote (Presidential Primary) on April 5.
For voting purposes, a
drivers license, state issued ID
card, DOT-issued ID card or
driver license without a photo-
graph issued under the religious

exemption, military ID card issued by a U.S. uniformed service or U.S. passport can be
unexpired or expired after the
date of the most recent general
election - currently, the November 4, 2014, election.
These following photograph
IDs are also acceptable for voting purposes, but must be unexpired:
a
certificate
of
naturalization that was issued
not earlier than two years before
the date of an election at which
it is presented, a driving receipt

issued by Wisconsin DOT
(valid for 45 days), an identification card receipt issued by
Wisconsin DOT (valid for 45
days), an identification card issued by a federally recognized
Indian tribe in Wisconsin, a
photograph identification card
issued by a Wisconsin accredited university, college or technical college that contains date
of issuance, signature of student, and an expiration date no
later than two years after date of
issuance. Also, the university,

college or technical college ID
must be accompanied by a separate document that proves enrollment, or citation or notice of
intent to revoke or suspend a
Wisconsin DOT-issued driver
license that is dated within 60
days of the date of the election.
It is important to note that the
address on the ID doesnt have
to be current and the name on
the name ID doesnt need to be
an exact match for the name in
the poll book.
To get a free ID card, contact

the DOT. There are many documents that can be used but most
people will be fine with a certified birth certificate, a Social
Security card and a utility bill or
cell phone bill. Some records,
like a certified birth certificate,
satisfy more than one category.
For ID information, the DOT
can be reached online at
http://wisconsindot.gov/Pages/d
mv/license-drvs/how-toapply/id-card.aspx or call (608)
266-2325.
The MHS boys ski and

snowboard teams both posted
their third straight conference
wins on January 25 at Tyrol
Basin with strong finishes in
slalom and boarder cross
events.
Two of the boys top ski racers were disqualified during

their runs that night, and the
team proved its depth as other
skiers stepped up to fill in the
gap. Top finishers overall were
Jack Ronnie in 2nd with Nick
Ronnie 3rd, Austin Krantz 14th

and Eric Andersen 15th.
The boy boarders placed six
racers in the top fifteen point
standings, led by Campbell Esbeck in 1st with Alec Johnson
3rd, Max Lawrence 4th, Sam
Andersen 5th, Jackson Grimm

10th and Charlie Angevine 12th.
On the girls side, the boarders
again placed 2nd, led by Megan
Chandler in 4th with Paige Wirth
5th, Hannah Laufenberg 11th and
Samantha Williams 13th.
Board Coach Darrin Kolka

said consistency is the name of
the game for his teams this
year. One race at a time, be
consistent, and improve on
something.
The girls skiers placed 5th at

their slalom race, remaining 5th
in the season standings overall.

DIVERSE
ages of minorities drive through

Middleton, work in Middleton,
attend school in Middleton, than
is reflected in the permanent
population figures, Foulke explained.
Many initiatives to attract
Hispanic officers has been place
throughout the state, like Amigos en Azul in Dane County,
which is a grassroots organization that works to dissolve cultural barriers and establish lines
of communication between the
Hispanic community and the
Dane County law enforcement.
The most successful efforts
are sometimes the non-traditional ones.
I am proud of the officers
we hire and the wide diversity
of education and life experiences, Foulke said. I would
love to have more women and
minorities in our department.
We are currently beginning a
hiring process to replace one officer and to develop an eligibility list for future vacancies. I
have recommended changes in
our hiring procedures to eliminate or lessen barriers for minority candidates, but remain
resolute in maintaining our high
quality standards of education
and ethics.
Although Foulke has not

been able to totally revamp the
rules hiring process, he does use
non traditional methods to recruit Hispanic officers - like advertising in minority periodicals
and working with groups such
as the NAACP, Urban League
and United Way.
He also said he gives higher
priority to applicants who speak
Spanish.
But the police force cant hire
people who arent applying.
Middleton Police officer
Cesar Salinas said that too
many times as a child, I was
told and informed by my peers
that becoming a police officer
would mean being a sellout to
my race and neighborhood. Police officers were painted as the
enemy in my upbringing, this
type of thought process or mentality needs to stop.
While the Middleton Police
Department has been lauded for
its progress, and for being willing to engage with the community in thorny questions about
racial equity, Foulke said the
work is far from done.
I am not satisfied with our
results, the chief stated.
The department has two Hispanic officers Salinas and Jose
be
Gama as well as several who

also speak Spanish.
Clearly, this short amount of
time has not been enough to
modify the strict recruitment
process for police officers in the
area or see the full results of
Foulkes efforts. But it is a critical issue for the community because Middleton has a growing
Hispanic population.
As in any other city in the
country, Middleton faces the
formidable predicament of
being racially fair, filling cultural gaps and staying on task
with police force rules. The solution involves changing the
training process, modifying recruitment culture, learning new
languages and new attitudes,
police say. Some of those
changes can take years to have
a quantifiable impact.
And it is not just race. Financial diversity also poses important questions for the police
force.
I think the community,
specifically city government, is
aware of their responsibility to
deal with people of poverty in a
fair and equitable manner,
Foulke said. The police department has changed policies in
the past year that lessen our impact on people of poverty.

The city is working on increasing public transportation
and affordable housing, he
continued. This is beneficial to
all people of poverty, a great
number of which are minorities.
If all these efforts work, supporters say they will generate
trust between police and all
members of the Middleton community, regardless race, gender
or income. And, as any officer
will be quick to point out, citizens who trust their police force
are far more likely to collaborate with them to prevent or
solve crimes.
I am a believer that a police
department should be reflective
of the people they police,
Foulke said.
Even though at this point
our police department doesnt
represent the diversity in our
community does not mean that
the attempts to fix this controversy are failing, he added.
We have an ethical obligation
to recognize and address the issues of racial disparities in our
community.
In the case of Hispanic police
officers, that would eliminate
language barriers.
Prior to becoming the
School Resource Officer at
Kromrey Middle School, I can
remember having Hispanic residents specifically requested me
when calling our PD for assistance, Salinas said. I think the
more contact Jesus [Gama] and
I have with the community, the
more our Hispanic population
will start to realize the Middleton Police Department can
serve their needs too.
There is also fear and mistrust in the Hispanic community
of police because of immigration status. Definitely, the immigration controversy comes into
play: Foulke said many Hispanics fear that any contact with the
police will result in arrest or deportation if they are undocumented, which is not the case.
Having Hispanic officers may
alleviate some of these fears.
Salinas said having Spanishspeaking officers also helps
their counterparts in the community avoid feeling like their
language barrier makes them a
burden.
We are role models to the
Hispanic children in our community, Salinas said. We are
living proof that they can break

the cycle of poverty. Proof that
they can achieve the American
dream through hard work and
determination regardless of
where you come from.
I think the barriers within
the hiring process can be different for each individual person,
regardless of race, sex, or social
status, Foulke said.
I know for me, the biggest
obstacle was the state test when
I was applying to other agencies. Some applicants may not
have strong interviewing skills.
I think those who meet the minimum requirement for the education portion can look less
appealing compared to those
with a Bachelors degree or
Masters, added Salinas.
Salinas encouraged Hispanic
citizens to seriously consider a
career in law enforcement.
Its a very self-rewarding
job, he stated. Its truly a job
that allows you to make a difference in the community. Its a
job that has allowed me to provide a better life for my family
and kids than I had growing
up.

Middletons boys basketball team

drops first two games of season
by GREGG HAMMILL
Times-Tribune
Unbeaten no more, but still

on top.
Thats where Middletons
boys basketball team stood
after tasting defeat for the first
two times this season.
Middleton dropped a hardfought 59-52 decision at home
to Madison East in a Big Eight
Conference
battle
on
Saturday night just days after
losing its first game of the season at Verona on Thursday.
After opening the season
with 14 consecutive victories,
the Cardinals have now lost
two straight and share the Big
Eight Conference lead with
Madison Memorial at 10-2.
The 14-0 was pretty special, Middleton coach Kevin
Bavery said. But, on the one
hand, if anybody had told me at
the beginning of the season that
we would be 14-2 and tied for
first place after 16 games, I
would have thought, Boy, I
know were going to have a
pretty good team, but Im not
so sure I would have guessed
that at the start.
The Purgolders (7-5 in the
league and 10-6 overall)
avenged a 92-75 loss to the
Cardinals back onDec. 8.
We honestly thought we
were going to win the game
until the final buzzer, said junior forward Tyree Eady, who
led the Cardinals with 15
points. (The loss is) some-
thing we havent been accustomed to.Tonightthey came to

play. Their demeanor was that
they did not want to lose. They
were not going to lose and we
didnt come with that
demeanor.
Junior point guard Storm
Murphy, the Cardinals secondleading scorer at 19.1 points
per game, was held to just eight
points, all in the second half,
and felt Easts defense was the
difference.
It was the defense that East
played,
Murphy
said.
Theyre just a great team.
They apply so much pressure,
and when they do that, its
going to be really hard for us to
get our shots to fall. Its going
to take a lot of work for them to
fall.
There was nothing open
every time. There were no
lanes open every time for me to
drive and no three-pointers
wide open every time. They
were applying so much pressure thats just why it was very
hard.
Added Eady: Shots just
werent falling. Thats just a
downfall. That happens every
once in awhile, but well be
back on (Friday) against La
Follette and were going to get

Kings of the

Hockey Cards
clinch share
of Big 8 title
by ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
Their goal sheet is

extremely lengthy.
Sectional titles. A state
tournament
appearance.
Perhaps even a state title
when all is said and done.
But the first objective for
Middletons hockey team is
and always will be a Big
Eight Conference title. And
the Cardinals accomplished
that last week with a pair of
league wins.
The Cardinals defeated
Madison La Follette/East, 7-1,

last Thursday. Middleton also
toppled Madison West, 10-1,
last Saturday.
The Cardinals improved to
18-3 overall and 11-2 in the
Big Eight. Middleton now has
22 points in the conference
standings with one league
game remaining against
Verona on Feb. 11.
Both Sun Prairie and
Verona (8-3 in the league) still
could tie Middleton for the
conferences top spot. But
those teams would have to
win out and Middleton would
have to lose its final league
game for any sharing to be
involved.
Winning the conference
was one of our main goals this
year, so it feels good to

team rolls, set
for a big week
by ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
Madison La Follette did all

that it could to slow down
Middletons girls basketball
team last Friday.
Now, two of the Big Eight
Conferences top teams will try
doing the same.
The Cardinals toppled the
Lancers, 57-38, in a game
played at a snails pace.
Middleton improved to 14-2
overall and stayed atop the Big
Eight with a 12-0 record.
The Cardinals, winners of
seven straight games, have also
jumped up to No. 1 in the latest
Associated Press poll
Now, Middleton will get
two huge tests in the next
week.
First the Cardinals travel to
Sun Prairie (9-4, 11-6)
Thursday at 7:30 p.m.
Middleton then heads to second-place Verona (12-1, 14-2)
on Tuesday at 7:30 p.m.
Sun Prairie is a tough
n BOYS BB
that one.
The Purgolders boast great
size with three starters
Deang Deang, Keshawn Justice
and Steve Wooten all standing 6-foot-4, or taller.
They have three or four
potential Division 1 prospects
who are long and athletic,
Eady said. Youve got to work
around that. You should come
harder. Youve got to play with
more energy with guys like
that. We didnt come like
that(Saturday).
Bavery said the Cardinals
needed to make more plays as
they had throughout their 14game winning streak.
We had to make plays that
weve been making through the
first 14 games that we didnt
make,
Bavery
said.
(Assistant coach Jerry Raffel)
said it best, Youve still got to
make plays, youve still got to
knock down shots, youve still
got to finish layups, youve still
got to knock down free
throws, and we just didnt do
that.
Similar to what happened in
their first game against East,
the Cardinals got off to quick
start against the Purgolders. An
inside basket by sophomore
forward Brogan Brunker gave
the Cardinals a 9-0 lead three
minutes into the game. Backto-back baskets by Eady
extended the Cardinals lead to
18-5 with8:14remaining in the
first half.
East slowly chipped away at
the lead and pulled within 2423 on a field goal by Trevone
Irby. Eady answered with a pair
of free throws, but Easts
Oliver Allison drilled a 3pointer to tie it at halftime, 2626.
They kicked to the corner
and hit a big three at the half,
Bavery said. We came in at
halftime and felt thats a game
that probably should have been
35-20 in our favor at the half,
but we just didnt capitalize.
Bavery pointed specifically

game, said Middleton coach

Jeff Kind, whose defeated Sun
Prairie, 99-87 on Dec. 15. We
just plain outscored them the
first round, but I dont think
either Coach (John) Olsen or I
would tell you we were thrilled
with our defenses.
They have a couple good
scorers in (Jayda) Jansen and
(Carly) Coulthart, so well
have to be more aware of them
this time around, keeping
Jansen out of the paint and taking the three away from
Coulthart.
Middleton did a nice job
against La Follette last Friday,
despite the Lancers best effort
to slow the game to a crawl.
Middleton had its lowest
point total of the season, but
did more than enough to survive.

Cardinals junior guard Bria
Lemirande led all scorers with
18 points, while junior forward
Alexis Thomas added 13.
Middleton also got a lift with
the return of sophomore forward Halle White, who had
missed the first 15 games of the
year with a shoulder injury.
It was played at a slower
pace than most of our games
have been because La Follette
did a better job against the
press and made us work against
their 1-2-2 zone, Kind
said. We were inconsistent in
our zone offense and not
always on the same page, but
we started to look to our posts a
little better and got some
inside-out looks for threes and
some scoring out of our posts.
For the most part we did a
good job in our half-court
defense. With the exception of
a few help-side lapses, we
defensed their ball screens
pretty well.

games at Sun Prairie Thursday
and Verona Feb. 9, Middleton

to missed opportunities at the

free throw line, where
Middleton was only 6-of-11 in
the first half.
In the second half,
Middleton took a 31-27 lead on
a 3-pointer by senior guard
Brady Thomas. A basket by
Brunker gave Middleton a 3836 lead, but East went on a 102 run fueled by junior guard
Cameron Cratic.
After a basket by Easts
Courtland Cuevas and a free
throw by Deang, Cratic scored
on a driving layup. Cardinals
junior guard C.J. Fermanich
answered with a short jumper,
but Cratic put back his own
miss and then drilled a 3-pointer for a 46-40 East lead.
Cratic added a pair of free
throws and two more baskets to
keep the Purgolders lead at six.
Cratic had scored just three
points in the game before his
13-point outburst in just more
than four minutes of action.
I think we were just focusing on Deang and Justice the

most, Eady said. When you
do that, you still have to take
into consideration other players
that have the ability to score
like that and we just lost
(Cratic). They just took advantage of our defense.
Middleton cut its deficit to
52-49 when Murphy was
fouled on a three-point attempt
and made all three free-throws
with2:52remaining.
I got a pull up in transition
and knocked that one down and
that got me going, said
Murphy. Then I was just confident to pull it again. Luckily,
I got fouled and knocked down
all three free throws.
East answered with a pair of
free throws by Deang and a
dunk by Wooten and Middleton
could get no closer than five
points the rest of the way.
While Bavery felt the
Cardinals just didnt play well
against Verona in the previous

game, he knew his team would
have its hands full with East.
East is a great team, said
Bavery. They returned four
starters from a state tournament
team a year ago.
They had some early season struggles and then got one
of their best players back that
we didnt see the first time we
played them in Wooten. So
when you drive in the lane
against them theyve got a lot
of size, a lot of length, and
theyre very physical.
East is really talented and
athletic throughout their whole
lineup and theyre a tough
match for anybody.
Despite the loss, Bavery
was happy with his teams
effort, especially on the defensive end.
I really loved the energy
we brought tonight especially
on the defensive end in the first
half, Bavery said. But we
struggle like any team does

when we dont make shots.
Youve got to find other ways
to score. Our defense has got to
create easy offense. When we
had defense to create offense
we didnt convert very well.
Starting with practice this
week, the players were ready to
get back to work.
We have practice on
Tuesday and thats game day
for us, said Murphy. Were
going to come back and were
all going to be in it to win it.
Were going to go hard just like
we played tonight. Were looking forward to whoever our
opponent is next. All were
going to think about is our
stuff, this team, and what we
need to do to get better and
work hard.
Eady agreed.
Just like with a win, we
just go back the next day and
work hard, Eady said. Go
back harder, bounce back.

Eady scored 24 points, but it
wasnt enough as the Cardinals
suffered their first defeat of the
season. Fermanich and Brunker
both added 11 points.
Nathaniel Buss led Verona
with 20 points.
Buss made the second of
two free throws with 12.5 seconds left to give the Wildcats a
62-61 lead. Middleton junior
forward Myron Ashford had a
potential, game-winning 16footer with 2 seconds left that
caromed off the backboard,
allowing the Wildcats to prevail.

Can MHS finally find the right tennis coach?

The heat is on.

Middleton athletic director
Bob Joers has made several
solid coaching hires during two
different
stints
as
the
Cardinals A.D.
But Joers has never been
able to find stability inside the
tennis programs, where its
been a revolving door for
years.
Now, Joers gets another
chance to right a wrong.
Andre Glass who had a
tumultuous one-year run as
Middletons boys tennis coach
resigned last Thursday, just
two months before the season
begins.
Its safe to say no tears were
shed.
Glass was in over his head
from the start and made one of
the biggest coaching blunders
in school history.
Middletons Xavier Sanga
and Brian Bellissimo were
likely to receive special qualifier status to compete in the
WIAA Division 1 individual
state tournament last June.
All Glass needed to do was
email the proper paperwork for
the two MHS standouts to the
WIAA. Instead, he sent it to the
wrong address.
Both Sanga and Bellissimo
were denied entry to the state
tournament. Their season of
hard work was washed away
by a coach who couldnt follow
basic instructions.
In predictable fashion, Glass
criticized the WIAA instead of
owning his error.
Its unfortunate, Joers said
at the time. Its a mistake that
in normal circumstances doesnt happen.
PAGE 13
Rob
Reischel
With Glass, though, such

mistakes were common.
Glass skipped a critical subsectional meeting less than a
week earlier. There, all of the
instructions for the state qualifying process were outlined for
coaches.
Had Glass attended that
meeting, theres a reasonable
chance the email snafu
wouldnt have happened.
Needless to say, his oneyear run will be remembered as
turbulent, at best.
Middleton doesnt need
Andre Agassi to run its boys
tennis program. In many ways,
it simply needs a caretaker.
Middleton is an extremely
affluent community, and the
majority of its high level players have private coaches. Those
same players practice yearround at one of the various
indoor facilities in the area.
When the high school season arrives, the athletes are
ready to roll.
Even with a turnstyle set up
at the coaching door in recent
years, Middleton has been to
the state tournament 10 times
since 2000. And the school produced its first-ever individual
state champion last year when
Jake Van Emburgh whose
father coached the University
of Wisconsin at the time
won the title.
File photo
Middletons Xavier Sanga would have reached the WIAA Division 1 state tournament last season, but former coach Andre Glass
sent his paperwork to the wrong email address.
Whoever the next coach is

must simply be responsible,
reliable and possess solid computer skills. That hasnt always
been the case.
Can Joers finally solve the
riddle that is Middleton tennis?
Well be watching.
A belated thanks:
Speaking of tennis, a long
overdue thank you goes out to
Middleton senior Abbey
Webber.
Throughout the 2015 season, Webber served as a liaison

between the girls tennis program and the Times-Tribune.
Webber provided results and
comments from matches all
season, a responsibility that no
other athlete in my 18 years
with this paper has ever done.
Why was this heaped on the
plate of Webber, a senior whos
trying to juggle school, athletics, pick a college and handle
the day-to-day pressures of

being a teenager?
Because during the 10-week
season, the Times-Tribune
never heard a word from head
coach Deke Bradley. Not one.
And thats too bad.
Coaches at the high school
level should do everything they
possibly can to promote their
sports especially in ones
like tennis that are starving for
coverage.
n HOCKEY
Jake Livesey and Middletons hockey team is 18-3 overall and 11-2 in the Big Eight Conference.
accomplish that, although

winning the title outright is
the next step, Middleton senior forward Griffin Gussell
said. But the second straight
title means a lot to us and now
were ready to focus on
achieving more of our goals.
In Middletons win over La
Follette/East, Justin Engelkes
had three goals and an assist.
Ross Johnson, Griffin Gussell,
Braxton Walby and Colin
Butler all added goals, as
well, while Nolan Kouba and
Casey Harper both had two
assists.
David Vodenlich got the
win in goal.
Middleton then posted an
impressive win over a solid
Madison West team (8-11-1,
5-8). The Regents were missing some key players due to
injury, but the Cardinals
played extremely well.
It was more of a week of
mind over matter,
Cardinals coach Steffon
Walby said. We knew that it
wasnt going to be tough, but
we still had to play and continue to use good habits. We
played well and got the job
done.
The Cardinals have now
gotten the job done for two
straight years when it comes
to the Big Eight Conference
race.
Last season, Middleton finished with 23 points and
edged runner-up Madison
Memorial (21). Over the next
Instead, Bradley does the

exact opposite, choosing apathy over publicity.
Fortunately, Webber was a
standout on the court winning a WIAA Division 1 state
doubles title as well as off it.
Its because of kids like
Webber that the tennis program
isnt a forgotten one.

event with 465 points. Madison
West was second at 258.5 and
Middleton was third at 193.
Every swimmer on the
teamwas excited and ready to
race, Middleton coach Sam
Niesen said. We also had quite
a few time drops this meet due
to some swimmers being halftapered as well as a great meet
atmosphere.
sophomore
Cardinals
Michael Draves was fourth in
the 200-yard freestyle and fifth
in the 500-yard freestyle.
Senior Jacob Aegerter was
fourth in the 100-yard butterfly
and sophomore Luke Delaney
was seventh. Aegerter was also
eighth in the 200-yard IM.
Middleton senior Jack
Zocher finished fifth in the
one-meter diving category and
senior Ethan Lengfeld was
sixth in the 100-yard breaststroke.
The Cardinals 200-yard
freestyle relay team of

Hollfelder and Draves was seventh.

And the Cardinals 200-yard
medley relay team of junior
Erick Grelle, Lengfeld, junior
Isaac Hanson and Zocher was
ninth.
The boys are certainly getting geared-up for the last few
championship meets remaining, Niesen said. Overall, it
was another great meet and Im
happy with how everyone is

looking in the water, so we
should be in a great position if
we follow through the end of
the season.
JV meet: Middleton also
finished in third place at the
Big Eight Conference JV meet
last Thursday.
Madison Memorial won the
meet with 656 points, while
Madison West (552) and
Middleton (425) rounded out

the top three.
JV Conference went
extremely well, Niesen said.
We had a 98% time drop and
right around 90% best lifetime
swims. I was proud of every
one of the boys. They worked
hard to get to this point and it
all paid off.
Junior Matthew Leiferman
won the 100-yard freestyle,
while
freshman
Thomas
Griffith was fifth and senior
Seth Gutzmer was 10th.

the all-around competition
with a season-best score of
37.775. Pflasterer-Jennerjohn
edged runner-up Erin Scholz
of
Franklin/Muskego/Oak
Creek/Whitnall, who scored a
37.50.
For Madeline to come in
and claim first in all-around
was huge, Cardinals coach
Kari Steck said. It was a huge
confidence boost for her.
She is such a humble kid,
and she does not put much
weight on places or scores, but
rather on the quality of her routines. It's really a great thing
for the younger gymnasts on
the team to see. She is such a

team player.
Pflasterer-Jennerjohns big
day helped Middleton finish
third at the eight-team meet.
The Cardinals posted a seasonbest score of 139.750.
I think we all thought this
would be a young, growing
year for the team, Steck said.
So for the girls to put out the
highest team score Middleton
has seen in many years is huge.
We've always had the end
goal of qualifying for state as a
team, but now it's looking like
we might be able to make a
splash at state pending that
qualification. The girls just
need to keep doing what they
are doing because it's working.
Pflasterer-Jennerjohn had a
terrific day, highlighted by a
first place finish on the floor
exercise (9.550). Pflasterer-
Jennerjohn was also second on

the balance beam (9.225), the
uneven bars (9.550) and the
vault (9.450).
Middleton also counted an
8.750 from freshman Jordan
Baggot on the balance beam,
an 8.650 from junior Dani
Aranda and an 8.650 from senior Katherine Marshall.
On the floor exercise,
Baggot scored an 8.90, senior
Ellen Cottingham had an 8.625
and Marshall scored an 8.50.
Cottingham scored an 8.450
on the uneven bars, sophomore
Chloe Young notched an 8.350
and Marshall scored an 8.0.
And on the vault, Marshall
scored an 8.450, Young had an
8.425 and freshman Ashley
Bindl scored an 8.050.
It's great to have the new
skills the girls have been working so hard on come together
in this last month of the season, Steck said. It really
shows how hard they work.
Middleton also defeated
Madison Memorial, 134.350129.80 last Thursday.
Demitrios was ninth.

Sophomore Jack Mondi was
fourth in the 200-yard IM,
while Demitrios was sixth,

Finnel named
new boys cross
country coach
PAGE 20
by ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
If Middletons boys cross

country team really wants to
push itself next season, all it
has to do is try keeping up
with its new head coach.
If the Cardinals come close
to that, good things are sure to
follow.
Middleton named Brian
Finnel its new head coach last
week. Finnel replaces Isaac
Mezera, who resigned midway through the 2015 season.
Finnel, an assistant coach
in the program the last three
years, is an extremely accomplished runner. Finnel finished 57th at the 2014 Boston
Marathon, the highest finish
by a Wisconsin runner that
year.
Now, Finnel hopes to use
his experience and expertise
to help Middletons program
remain among the best in the
state.
Being the assistant coach
for the last three season has
been terrific, said Finnel, a
science teacher at Glacier
Creek Middle School. So
taking over as the head coach
seemed like the next natural
step.
I really enjoy seeing the
athletes grow over a long period of time and really want to
instill a love for running in
each athlete. Hopefully, once
my athletes leave MHS they
feel they still want to try running events such as a 10K or a
half marathon maybe even
a full marathon.
Finnel, a 2006 graduate of
Southern Door High School,
was a cross country and track
and field standout there. He
competed one cross country
season at UW-Green Bay, then
transferred to UW-Stevens
Point.
In 2011, Finnel earned allconference honors with the
Pointers in the 5,000 meters.
Finnels post-college running accomplishments are
even
more
impressive,
though.
Finnel has run several
marathons, and he placed 57th
out of 36,000 runners at the
2014 Boston Marathon. In
addition, Finnel participated
in the USA Half Marathon
Championships each year
between 2012-14.
Finnel was a volunteer
coach at Southern Door and
an assistant coach at Oshkosh
Lourdes Academy while he
attended college.
Finnel joined Middletons
cross country staff in 2013,
and became the track distance
coach in 2014. His knowledge
of the athletes should be a
plus.
Already knowing the
Middleton teams will help me
transition to head coach by
keeping a similar system for
the athletes, Finnel said. I
feel I have been able to relate
to the athletes well, and still
feel I know what its like
being in their shoes as Im
going through similar things

as them for training.
Overall, Im pretty passionate about running and
have already been in charge of
the distance athletes the previous two track seasons. So I
feel the athletes know my system from track. Having some
previous experience leading
many of the same athletes
gives me great confidence to
help the program continue at a
high level.
Finnel said he learned a lot
from both Mezera and former
girls cross country coach
Cindy Bremser. While some
things will remain the same
from past years, Finnel also
plans to put his own stamp on
the program.
I will be bringing some
different workouts to the
table, as my coaching philosophy is slightly different,
Finnel said. So the athletes
can probably expect a small
shift in the workouts and the
workout locations.
Its also difficult to say
how the boys and girls teams
will be affected as whole. Its
still unclear if the programs
will be together in their entirety like years past, or if they
have to be split in some capacity.
More coaching news:
Middleton recently named Joe
Line its new boys track and
field coach and Cory
Christnovich as the new girls
track and field coach.
Both had been assistant
coaches in the program.
Line replaces Mezera on
the boys side. Mezera, a former English teacher, resigned
on Oct. 1 after admitting to
having sex at Middleton High
School with former school
nurse
Heather
Burdett.
Burdett resigned on Dec. 2.
Christnovich
replaces
longtime girls coach Tara
Franklin, who resigned last
November to spend more time
with her family.
One to go: Middleton is
still looking for a girls cross
country coach. Bremser a
former Olympian and Pan
American Games star
stepped down after the 2015
season ended.
Brian Finnel (114) was named Middletons new boys cross country coach last week.
