WIAA Football preview: Lake Mills tussles with West Salem for spot in state championship game

LAKE MILLS — If the L-Cats’ defense continues to make plays, there will be plenty of reasons to continue flashing the double thumbs-down sign. That sign, taken from the film Gladiator, has been a rallying cry for Lake Mills’ football team, which faces West Salem in a WIAA Division 4 Level 4 game on Friday at 7 p.m. at Stoughton High School for the right to play at Camp Randall Stadium in the state finals. “We’ve been doing the thumbs down gesture since week three against Lakeside,” senior wide receiver and linebacker Blake Bohlman said. “Coach Tyler Huber pulls up a movie clip every week and it’s kind of a theme we roll with. We watched the scene where a thumbs up and he lets them live and thumbs down, he finishes them. It’s a reminder to not get complacent.” Defensive end and tight end JP Brzowski, another one of the team’s 14 seniors, said the thumbs-down sign is about showing no mercy. “It’s been our mentality,” Brzowski said. “We never want to let them have any hope.” To reach their first-ever Level 4 game in the modern era — and second state semifinal in school history (1987) — the

Janesville teachers' union not thrilled with pay arrangement, seeks district revamp of wage schedule

JANESVILLE — The Janesville School District’s teachers union is not thrilled with the wage agreement it has reached with the district the last few years, and the union is now calling the district to resume substantive talks on a new compensation schedule. The message comes via a public statement the Janesville Education Association released this week following the Janesville School Board approving a certified staff wage increase for union members of 2.63% — a “cost of living” increase in the coming budget year. The pact came out of the lack of a formal agreement between the two sides after three bargaining sessions. JEA President Laura Mattison said that for some teachers, that equates to a cost-of-living increase that leaves them with a salary that’s less than what they earned last year if they factor in the increase they’re also paying for health care costs. Some district employees, like Mattison, a foreign languages teacher with 21 years of educational service, find themselves working second jobs to make extra money — all while working more hours with larger classroom loads and a growing load of professional development responsibilities. “Three negotiation rounds and they didn’t bring a different offer to any of the

Norovirus closes Consolidated Elementary doors until at least Nov. 16

JANESVILLE — The Milton School District closed one of its elementary schools for the rest of the week because of a norovirus outbreak. Norovirus is more commonly known as the stomach flu. Late Wednesday, the district announced the closure of Consolidated Elementary because “more than 35%” of its student population had been sickened by norovirus. The District decided on this course of action after consultation with District Nurse Melissa Forrett and the Rock County Health Department. No other schools have been affected yet, according to the district. The district plans to open the school Monday. Superintendent Jeremy Bilhorn said that at the start of Wednesday, there were 30 students who were absent from the illness. Throughout the day, that number continued to climb as more students were sickened with the norovirus and were sent home. Bilhorn could not confirm the exact total at the end of the school day. “We noticed the numbers rose pretty high today,” Bilhorn said. The district will monitor reported absences at other schools and any ahead of Monday at Consolidated. “The idea is to take in account student safety, and best practice and guidance from our county health department,” Bilhorn said. Consolidated Elementary, the district’s

Robert Douglas to take over as Beloit Memorial girls coach

BELOIT — Beloit Memorial athletic director Robert Douglas was dealt another major curveball just three weeks into his tenure. After dealing with the uncertainty surrounding football coach Brad Dement and the resignation of longtime soccer coach Brian Denu, the focus turned to the girls basketball program. Douglas has stepped into the role of head coach for the Purple Knights girls program as previous head coach Jack Klobucar is dealing with a health issue. Monday marked the first day of practice for the program, and Douglas was encouraged by what he saw. “The first thing is that we had 26 girls come for tryouts,” Douglas said. “That was really great to see, because it means we can field a varsity team and a JV team which we couldn’t do last year.” Now, there is the matter of staffing the program. Douglas will serve as the head coach, while Klobucar will remain on staff and Ty Earl will serve as a voluntary assistant. The Knights are still finalizing a hire for a JV coach and are on the search for a varsity assistant coach. Meanwhile, Douglas is wearing two hats. “The main thing is that I wanted to provide the certainty that

Small Wisconsin school district to dissolve after voters reject referendum

(The Center Square) – The Hustisford School District, in eastern Wisconsin, is going away. Wisconsin’s School District Boundary Appeal Board on voted to dissolve the district. It is the first time since 1990 board agreed to close a school district. Hustisford has just 238 students in the entire district and has been losing students for years. The school district asked voters for a $4 million referendum in April, but it failed. Quickly after the election, Hustisford Schools then began the process of shutting down. The vote was the final step. Wisconsin's state superintendent blamed a lack of money, and how the entire state of Wisconsin pays for schools for the shutdown. "The Hustisford School District is a casualty of decades of an antiquated, broken school funding formula that has failed to keep pace with the costs of educating our children," State Superintendent Dr. Jill Underly said in a statement. But Hustisford Schools were spending about the state's average per student. Budget numbers show Hustisford's budget was more than $6 million per year and show that the school spends about $22,000 per student. That's more than Wisconsin's state average of nearly $18,000 per student. Hustisford is in rural Dodge County, and
