Submitted by MTT News Desk on Wed, 01/23/2013 - 12:55

A cancer support organization in Middleton has abandoned plans to change its name. In a statement issued Wednesday, Gilda’s Club Madison, which announced late last year it would change its name to Cancer Support Community Southwest Wisconsin in January, said it is retaining the Gilda’s Club name.

“Many of you have noticed that our website, Facebook page and signs did not change in January,” said a Gilda’s Club message sent via email to supporters and members of the media. “Since mid-December, the Gilda’s Club Madison board of directors has been working with our national Cancer Support Community board regarding the name change.”

Police Work With Stonefield Residents to Curb Rise in Burglaries

Submitted by MTT News Desk on Wed, 01/23/2013 - 07:54

Residents from the Stonefield neighborhood flooded the Middleton Courthouse Saturday, where two officers, a detective, a captain and the chief of the Middleton Police Department provided details on the investigation into a recent spike in burglaries. Authorities called for a proactive, collaborative approach to help stymy the thieves who have recently zeroed in on the wealthy neighborhood.

Detective Troy Hellenbrand said there have been six burglaries in Stonefield since late last year. Investigators believe the break-ins are linked to at least two other burglaries in the Good Neighbor City, and as many as 28 in nearby Madison. (The latest occurred Friday night on North High Point Road in Middleton.)

“This is concerning to me, too,” Hellenbrand, who grew up in the Middleton, told the more than 100 Stonefield residents who crowded into the courthouse late Saturday morning. “I take this kind of personally when people tell me they are scared to come home.”

Clark Street Charter School Focuses on Project-Based Learning

Submitted by MTT News Desk on Tue, 01/22/2013 - 21:30

When a lion cub stalks a fallen tree branch, it’s actually honing skills it will need to become an efficacious hunter. When two puppies wrestle, they are developing a physical vocabulary that will allow them to successfully interact in an adult canine hierarchy.

Anyone who has ever watched a nature documentary knows learning life skills doesn’t have to be drudgery.

The Middleton-Cross Plains Area School District’s new charter school is applying a related philosophy to people, specifically to students who struggle in a traditional high school classroom. It’s called “project-based” learning and it allows teenagers to research things about which they are passionate.

“You can’t force anyone to learn anything,” said Heather Messer, a National Board certified science educator and advisor at Clark Street Community School.  “But curiosity is one of the primary things that drives kids to learn, so our goal is to spark curiosity.”
