CCORRECTIONORRECTION

Last weekrsquos article about the

City of Middletonrsquos youth cen-ter incorrectly stated that the

centerrsquos budget was beingmoved into the General Fund

That is incorrect On February2 2016 the Middleton Common

Council approved moving theMiddleton Youth Center budget

and associated financial trans-actions from the General Fund

into a new dedicated separatefrom the General Fund distinct

what is called a Special Rev-enue Fund

According to city finance di-rector John Lehman the impor-

tant distinction is that theGeneral Fund contains revenue

or funding from dozens and

dozens of different sourceswith dozens and dozens of pur-

poses or goals for that revenueIn comparison a Special Rev-

enue Fund such as the newFund 214 Middleton Youth

Center will only contain rev-enue from sources having a sin-

gle common goal namely theoperation and furtherance of the

Middleton Youth CenterThe distinction of a Special

Revenue Fund compared to theGeneral Fund is of key impor-

tance Namely fiscal accounta-bility or transparency so that the

revenue remitters such asdonors and contributors

namely civic groups regular

citizens Dane County govern-mental agencies and the Mid-

dleton Cross Plains Area SchoolDistrict and others pledged

monies for the Middleton YouthCenter will in fact only be spent

for Middleton Youth Centerpurposes and goals

Finally at the end of the yearleft over unspent money in a

Special Revenue Fund is stillpledged for a specific purpose

namely in Fund 214 the Mid-dleton Youth Center Yearend

unspent monies cannot un-knowingly be spent for non-

Middleton Youth Centerpurposes

Board debates impact of voucher expansion

The Middleton-Cross PlainsArea School District Board of Education last week discussed

the effects the statersquos voucherprogram has had on the district

and what proposed changescould mean

The number of students en-rolling in in private schools

with vouchers is not significantbut board members and admin-

istration worry it could increaseover time as the program ex-

pandsThe voucher expansion

passed in the biennial budget ispaid for similarly to the statersquos

open enrollment program the

tax money allotted by the statefollows a student from the pub-lic district to the private voucher

school

MCPASD receives about$10000 per student more than

$7000 comes from the stateand the rest from local property

taxes and the federal govern-ment Under the state voucher

program private schools receive$7200 for students in 4K

through middle school and$7800 for high schoolers from

the state The cost of thevoucher is deducted from the

state funding allotted to the dis-trict where the students live

Board member Ellen Lind-gren says the trouble is roughly

75 percent of the students re-ceiving vouchers were in pri-

vate schools already before theprogram was implemented

ldquoThe district that is sending

the student to a voucher schoolis getting some money but thevouchers are also being paid for

out of the state fund which isnrsquot

completely true because 75 per-cent of the kids werenrsquot getting

any money except from theirparentsrdquo Lindgren said

Superintendent Don Johnsonsays so far only three students

in the district have qualified forvouchers and enrolled in private

schools He explained that thelegislation is written so that the

program starts at one percent of the total number of students in

the district and increases by onepercentage point each year until

it hits 10 percent in the tenthyear the cap in then lifted en-

tirelyldquoSo the voucher system re-

ally serves to fund privateschools for students who are al-

ready attending private schools

now and not students who aretrapped in a public school thatare escaping to a private

schoolrdquo Johnson said

Johnson said that he worriesover time that if the program is

expanded and more students en-roll it will result in exponential

losses in fundingldquoAs the program grows ob-

viously every year there will bemore and more voucher stu-

dents to be pulling dollars notonly from local coffers but

from state coffersrdquo Johnson ex-plained ldquoThat rolling average

even though it will improvewith group one will continue to

increase every year for ten yearsuntil the cap comes off com-

pletelyrdquo

Johnson said there is also an

amendment to a bill that could

be passed before the end of the

legislative session that could

create further uncertainty in

funding

Currently school districts

levy property tax based on the

number who attend local public

plus the number of studentswho live locally but use a

voucher The amendment

would cut out the second part of

the equation so that districts

could not levy taxes for students

who do not attend public

schools The state Legislative

Services Bureau estimates in

the first year alone 142 school

districts across the state could

jointly lose just over $14 mil-

lion

ldquoProgressively that number

continues to increaserdquo Johnson

explained ldquoIt could be greater

because wersquove only received

data on year one The way it is

set up now it will eventually re-move that cap and be unlim-

itedrdquo

Another concern in the legis-

lature the board discussed is a

bill that would require transgen-

der students to use the bathroomthat matches their physical

anatomy While board mem-

bers and administration ac-

knowledged it was not likely to

pass they said they would have

no idea how to enforce it

ldquoHow will it be implemented

and who is going to police the

bathroomsrdquo Lindgren said

Johnson also noted a ruling

from the seventh circuit federal

court that would contradict the

bill if it were to become law

ldquoIf the seventh circuit says

one thing and then the state

passes something that is contra-

dictory I donrsquot know where we

are going to go with thatrdquoJohnson said

Examining the role of testing in Middleton-Cross Plains

The Middleton-Cross PlainsArea School Board was pre-

sented with the 2014-15 statetest achievement data results

that were recently released bythe Wisconsin Department of

Public Instruction and discussed

the usefulness of the data and itsrole in decision making

Director of curriculum and

assessment MaryBeth Paulissepresented the data and recent

changes in state testing require-ments She explained that ele-

mentary and middle schoolstudents took the Badger Exam

in the spring of 2015 whilehigh school students took the

Aspire or ACT last spring Shesaid the district hasnrsquot received

data on comparable results fromother districts but the Wisconsin

State Journal reported lastmonth that MCPASD students

were at or near the top in DaneCounty

Paulisse explained to theboard that the district doesnrsquot

use test data to make programdecisions but rather reviews it

for a broader understandingldquoFor us as a district we use

this data to look at big pictureprogrammaticallyrdquo she said

ldquoThese data sets donrsquot informour instruction day to day in the

classroom just because the typeof assessment it is and the time

we get the data parents get theresults teachers see the results

its a snapshot of one point of thestudents performance in time

so we donrsquot ever make full pro-gram decisions on these itrsquos a

slice of our pie it helps informsome things but it really isnrsquot

driving any full decisionsrdquoPaulisse pointed out that it

was the first time all of theexams were delivered online

She for the most part studentsliked online testing more than

paper and pencil and are used todoing the exams on a computer

Board vice president DianeHornung asked if an online test

could be a barrier to studentsnot used to testing that way but

Paulisse said so much testing isdone online now in classrooms

that it wouldnrsquot likely be anissue

Paulisse noted that while stu-dents were above the state aver-

age in all areas and gradesachievement gaps remain across

all exams and English Lan-guage Learners were also near

or below the state averagesldquoWe still have our achieve-

ment gaps even though we arehigher than the state our gaps

paralleled that of the state aswellrdquo Paulisse said ldquoConsis-

tently across all of our examswe had our Asian and white stu-

dents outperforming our Latinoand black studentsrdquo

Deputy SuperintendentGeorge Mavroulis noted a con-

cern for some districts is parentsopting their students out of tak-

ing the exams The state re-quires districts to test 95 percent

of students but allows parentalconsent to opt their child out

He said nearly 25 percent of eighth-graders at Kromrey have

opted out He said it was fordifferent reasons like medical

conditions or a philosophicaldisagreement with the number

of assessments or families pres-suring each other

Superintendent Don Johnsonsaid the district has ratcheted

back on other testing such as

MAP that is used to develop

curriculum He says though it

more valuable for teachers they

are worried that students are

getting burnt out taking too

many assessments and they

have no control of the state

tests

ldquoI think one thing we have

run in to is students and parents

basically take the tests less seri-

ouslyrdquo Johnson said ldquoIf we

test too much they are less will-

ing to give a full effortrdquo

Board president Bob Green

asked if administration and staff were more focused on teaching

to the test versus aligning cur-

riculum to newer standards

ldquoWe do not teach to the testrdquo

Mavroulis responded bluntly

ldquoWersquove always believed in

high-quality instruction and test

scores will take care of them-

selvesrdquo

Paulisse read a memo from

the DPI that basically advised

teachers not to buy study mate-

rials for a specific test

Board member Linda Yu

asked if the district could

change the timing of the testsbut Paulisse said theyrsquove al-

ready done what they could

Attention millennials Yourgrandfathers uncles and fathers

fought for your freedom forthis great nation of ours so do

yourself a favor - donrsquot screw itup

Your present freedom didnrsquotcome easily or without cost

Sure itrsquos easy for your to criti-cize your parents when they

canrsquot perform a simple iphonetask but remember my genera-

tion invented the computer andwe invented the internet you

simply use it (What have youinvented other than maybe an

app that doesnrsquot produce anyrevenue but gets 500 lsquolikesrsquo)

Itrsquos also easy to think yoursquore

so smart when everything has

been provided to you and manyof you donrsquot have to support

yourself or pay taxes (or file atax return) or be responsible for

anyone but yourself (including

yourself) As soon as you areno longer a dependent on yourparentsrsquo tax return then you can

start giving us your opinionsDonrsquot ever forget that Amer-

icans like my uncle Herb (fea-tured in the Band of Brothers)

was thrust onto the front lines of the war to free Europe from

Hitler Dumped out of a planeinto the freezing cold of winter

on frozen ground of France andBelgium in the Battle of the

Bulge where all his fellow sol-diers were shot dead when one

of them lit up a cigarette Likeso many of your fathers and un-

cles he fought for you - for

your freedom to speak out foryour right to practice your reli-

gion for your right to redressyour government without being

threatened All yoursquove done so

far is enjoy the fruits of hislabor

Ask yourself - do you have

the courage to fight as yourforefathers did Could you

stand up and be counted - andsign the Declaration of Inde-

pendence against the most pow-erful government in the world at

the time - effectively signingyour own death warrant

Would you have the guts to putnot just your wealth on the line

but your very life - and that of your familyrsquos

The entire history of thiscountry has been about the fight

against fascism communism

socialism - the fight against biggovernment against a govern-ment bent on putting itself be-

fore the people If you want biggovernment you have many

choices You can go to EuropeChina or many other places but

if you want a nation where peo-

ple come first therersquos only one

place America So when itcomes time to vote consider

your options big government orsmaller government

And speaking of big govern-

ment the results from the insur-ance industry on ObamaCareare in As I predicted when the

law was passed itrsquos bankruptinginsurance companies which

will later allow the governmentthe excuse to step in and run the

entire health care industry - thisfrom the same people that bring

the disreputable Veterans Ad-ministration healthcare The

Wall Street Journal reported thatinsurance companies around the

country are incurring massivelosses Stunningly insurance

companies are paying out moreto ObamaCare enrollees than

those companies collected in

total premiums from all theirother customers leading tomassive losses

Right here in Wisconsin Hu-mana headquartered in greater

Green Bay incurred $176 mil-lion in losses Now the com-

pany is being sold to Aetna and

you guessed it as soon as itrsquos

sold no doubt Wisconsin willlose thousands of jobs as con-

solidation occurs Thank youObama 70 of insurers lost

money on ObamaCare plans

How many other insurancecompanies will be forced out of business or forced to merge

laying off middle class Ameri-cans Dems lament the loss of

middle class jobs but their biggovernment approach is the

causeI hear more and more calls

questioning the need for theelectoral college Why should

Iowa and New Hampshire get tovote first Why not the big

states like California and NewYork Our founding fathers

were genius in their design of our Presidential elections They

knew that a few states would

eventually have large urbancities that would dominate theelections unless a balancing

mechanism was put in placewhich is the electoral college

The lsquocollegersquo is designed toforce the candidates to visit all

50 states especially the small

states that might otherwise be

ignoredPeople need to think of the

this not as who is first but aprocess think of Iowa New

Hampshire then South Carolina

and Nevada combined as across sampling of AmericaYou have the midwest the

northeast the south and then thewest as well as a good sam-

pling of all the different culturesand peoples of the US

If there was no electoral col-lege the candidates would

focus solely on the large urbancenters and completely ignore

the vast majority of the statesand how fair would that be

Once again the long-termwisdom of the founding fathers

continues to amaze me

A new decade ndash the 1960s -

arrived and along with it a greatleap for educational facilities in

the Luxemburg School DistrictI entered a brand new high

school the first class that wouldgo a full four years in the won-

derful space But the most im-

portant advancement was theexpansion of the curriculum

From the two room Duvall

Graded to a high school offer-ing science labs woodworking

agriculture courses and a librarylarge enough to hold the entire

Big Room of Duvall GradedOne hundred and seven of us

the majority sons and daughtersof dairy farmers owed a lot to

those families who enthusiasti-cally supported their public

school facilities with their taxdollars It was a very exciting

time the fall of 1960 a presi-

dential year and to add to theenthusiasm in our community a

Catholic candidateMy freshman year was the

first time I would be in classeswith students who were not

Catholic Mom and Dad wereKennedy supporters and I was

so excited about the election Idecided to run for freshman

class president However a verypopular attractive blond from

the Village of Luxemburg easily

defeated me I learned a lotabout talking to people but

more about listening to whatthey were saying

I was class president for thenext three years When our class

entered as the largest class ever10 percent of Luxemburgrsquos

graduating classes were goingon to college The majority of

the students were able to find jobs and begin very fulfilling

lives right out of high school

The business courses were ex-cellent as were the woodwork-

ing and agriculture classesAfter my freshman year I

chose a path that emphasizedscience mathematics and for-

eign language - Latin It was theonly foreign language offered

because an English teacher MrSchimmels had studied Latin

and convinced the administra-tion that some students would

take it We had one year of Latin

I followed by a year of Latin IIIt sure helped me know the

meaning of all those Latinprayers I rattled off as an alter

boy

The 18 players that make up

Middletonrsquos boys basketball

team gathered together for a

ldquoCome-to-Jesus Momentrdquo last

Friday afternoon

Differences were discussed

Issues were addressed This

playersrsquo only meeting had one

overriding goal to reverse the

Cardinalsrsquo recent slide

ldquoWe just got together and

focused on the areas we had

gotten too relaxed inrdquo said

junio r forward Tyree Eady

ldquoWe were winning all those

games at the start and now we

started losing Our mistakes

were more noticeable now We

had to get it fixedrdquo

Mission accomplished

In a showdown for first

place in the Big Eight

Conference Middleton went to

league power Madison

Memorial and stunned the

Spartans 77-63 last Saturday

Cardinals junior point guard

Storm Murphy scored a game-

high 26 points while Eady

added 25

Middleton which began the

year 14-0 but had lost three of

four since improved to 15-3

overall and stayed tied atop the

league with Sun Prairie at 12-

3 The Cardinals also swept the

Spartans for the first time since

the 2000-rsquo01 season

Memorial which has won

at least a share of 12 straight

conference titles slipped to

12-6 11-4 and into third place

in the league Spartans junior

center Chris Knight had 18

points and eight rebounds

while junior guard Billy

Wilson added 17 points

ldquoThis is really specialrdquo

Murphy said ldquoNo matter

whorsquos on Memorial theyrsquore

always a great team Theyrsquore

coached well and they just

have that chip on their shoul-

der from being such a great

team all these years So thatrsquos

huge for usrdquo

Middleton played with

greater urgency than it had in

some time

The Cardinals raced toleads of 17-6 and 34-17 and

were in control throughout

Just 48 hours earlier

Middleton fell into a 20-4 hole

at Sun Prairie and never recov-

ered

ldquoWe had to recapture the

fun and take all the pressure

off of these guysrdquo Middleton

coach Kevin Bavery said

ldquoWhether thatrsquos pressure from

school pressure from well-

meaning parents that want you

to do well whether itrsquos pres-

sure from social media All

that stuff

ldquoWe just had to wrap a bub-

ble around the team and notlisten to any of the noise We

told them lsquoLetrsquos just do what

we do do it together and do it

at a really high levelrsquo rdquo

The Cardinals did that from

start to finish in arguably their

most meaningful win of

Baveryrsquos 10-year tenure

Amazingly Middleton

made its first seven shots and

raced to a 17-6 lead just 509

into the game and forced

Spartans coach Steve Collins

to call a quick timeout

Murphy had seven points in

the early burst Eady had five

while junior guard Myron

Ashford drained a three-point-er and sophomore forward

Brogan Brunker added two

ldquoThat was hugerdquo Murphy

said ldquoTo start strong Irsquod say

wersquore decent at maintaining

leads But thatrsquos huge for us

because coming back is so

much harderrdquo

Memorial began making a

dent in Middletonrsquos lead and

clawed back within 22-16 with

6 minutes left in the first half

But the Cardinals smacked the

Spartans with a 12-1 burst and

grabbed a 34-17 lead

Eady started the fun with a

rebound basket then senior

guard Brady Thomas scored a

fast break basket Murphy

drilled two free throws and a

deep three-pointer then

Ashford drained a three-ball

that gave the Cardinals a 17-

point advantage

That run helped Middleton

grab a 37-25 halftime lead The

Cardinals shot a blistering

518 from the floor in the

first half (14-of-27) and made

a scintillating 636 of their

three-pointers (7-of-11)

Murphy had 14 of his points

in the first half while Eady

had seven and Ashford added

six

ldquoWersquove had a pattern on not

trusting our teammates during

our little losing streakrdquo

Bavery said ldquoI thought that

was a lot better (Saturday) I

thought it helped us get off to a

fast start and get a lead But

you knew a team like

Hockey Cards win outright Big 8 title

Middleton hockey coachSteffon Walby is a parent

whorsquos always preached thevalue of sharing

In the sports world thoughthose rules are tossed out the

windowMiddleton had a share of the

Big Eight Conference titlewrapped up when it hosted

Verona last Thursday TheWildcats could have earned a

piece of the crown by upsettingthe Cardinals but Middleton

wasnrsquot in the mood to shareThe Cardinals overcame an

early 1-0 deficit and rolled pastthe Wildcats 4-1 Middleton

finished Big Eight play 12-2while Verona slipped to 10-4

ldquoOf course your Mom andDad always tell you to share

and play nice in the sandboxrdquoWalby said ldquoHowever this one

we didnrsquot want to share Wewanted to go ahead and win it

outright which is kind of cooland extra motivationrdquo

The Cardinals won theleague title for a second

straight year which was one of their goals from the moment

the season began in NovemberldquoIt meant a lotrdquo said

Middleton senior defensemanDavis Bunz ldquoIt was awesome

to come out strong and reallymake a statement of what kind

of team we are and what we arecapable of accomplishingrdquo

Verona actually struck firstwith a goal just 25 seconds into

the game But Middletonevened things up 26 seconds

later when Nolan Kouba scoredan even strength goal on assists

from Colin Butler and JustinEngelkes

Butler notched a power playgoal at 401 of the second peri-

od that was the eventual game-

winner Jake Livesy andEngelkes assisted on the play

Casey Harper gaveMiddleton a 3-1 lead at 1558

of the second period on assistsby Engelkes and Livesy

Middleton then put thingsaway on an even strength goal

by Bunz at 1430 of the thirdperiod

ldquoOf course wersquore really

excited to have won it two

years in a rowrdquo Walby saidldquoThis is one of their goals and

they achieved it so we cancheck the box on that It goes to

show you how much time andeffort they put into the off-sea-

son as well to become suc-cessfulrdquo

Middleton also rolled pastBrookfield 7-0 in a non-con-

ference game last Saturday

The Cardinals finished the reg-

ular season with a 21-3 recordand set a school record for

winsBunz had two goals against

Brookfield while RossJohnson added two as well

Butler Michael Wolfinger andPreston Lewis also added

goalsThe Cardinals will now turn

their attention to the postsea-

son

Arena at 7 pmldquoI feel very confident about

how our team has been per-forming lately and how we all

Memorial would make a

runrdquo

The Spartans did exactly

that

The dynamic Eady got the

Cardinals off to a fast start to

begin the second half Eady

drilled a three-pointer on

Middletonrsquos first possession of

the half then converted a tradi-

tional three-point play as the

Cardinalsrsquo lead grew to 43-25

Middletonrsquos advantage

reached 48-29 mdash its largest

lead of the night mdash with 12

minutes left But Memorial

had an answer

The Spartans extended their

1-3-1 defense trapped the ball

high and gave the Cardinals

fits in the halfcourt

Memorialrsquos terrific defense

helped it go on a 14-2 burst

and pull within 50-43 with

722 left

ldquoTheyrsquore a great teamrdquo

Murphy said ldquoWe knew it

wouldnt be easyrdquo

It wasnrsquot but the Cardinals

weathered the storm mdash thanks

in large part to both Eady and

Murphy

After a timeout Eady

attacked the baseline and

scored to push Middletonrsquos

lead to 55-46 One possession

later Eady drove to the basket

again scored was fouled and

made the free throw as

Middletonrsquos lead hit 58-48

with 229 remaining

ldquoBig time players make big

time playersrdquo Bavery said of

Eady ldquoWe needed something

like that and Tyreersquos a guy who

can make those playsrdquo

Murphy agreed

ldquoTyree is just a crazy smart

athletic skilled playerrdquo

Murphy said ldquoHe can do it all

and he can be unstoppable at

timesrdquo

Memorial pulled as close as

six points down the stretch

But Murphy made 12-of-14

free throws in the final 211 mdash

including four straight after a

technical foul on Collins mdash

and the Cardinals pulled away

ldquoWe definitely needed a

night like thisrdquo Eady said ldquoAll

of us needed this We were 1-3

in our last (four) games and we

needed a big push like this to

show we still are one of the

best teamsrdquo

Bavery agreed

ldquoOur big message was if

you love the game the game

will love you backrdquo he said

ldquoThere were some magical

moments out there We shared

the ball and played our (tails)

off And you know what hav-

ing fun is beating Memorialrdquo

nesses participated and receivedthe training and designation as

CCORRECTIONORRECTION

Last weekrsquos article about the

City of Middletonrsquos youth cen-ter incorrectly stated that the

centerrsquos budget was beingmoved into the General Fund

That is incorrect On February2 2016 the Middleton Common

Council approved moving theMiddleton Youth Center budget

and associated financial trans-actions from the General Fund

into a new dedicated separatefrom the General Fund distinct

what is called a Special Rev-enue Fund

According to city finance di-rector John Lehman the impor-

tant distinction is that theGeneral Fund contains revenue

or funding from dozens and

dozens of different sourceswith dozens and dozens of pur-

poses or goals for that revenueIn comparison a Special Rev-

enue Fund such as the newFund 214 Middleton Youth

Center will only contain rev-enue from sources having a sin-

gle common goal namely theoperation and furtherance of the

Middleton Youth CenterThe distinction of a Special

Revenue Fund compared to theGeneral Fund is of key impor-

tance Namely fiscal accounta-bility or transparency so that the

revenue remitters such asdonors and contributors

namely civic groups regular

citizens Dane County govern-mental agencies and the Mid-

dleton Cross Plains Area SchoolDistrict and others pledged

monies for the Middleton YouthCenter will in fact only be spent

for Middleton Youth Centerpurposes and goals

Finally at the end of the yearleft over unspent money in a

Special Revenue Fund is stillpledged for a specific purpose

namely in Fund 214 the Mid-dleton Youth Center Yearend

unspent monies cannot un-knowingly be spent for non-

Middleton Youth Centerpurposes
