There were also multiple images of naked women in the material seized by the district.
The employee with whom
Mezera had numerous sexual
encounters initially detailed
several occurrences of a nonconsensual nature. However,
according to the police report,
she later told investigators that
if she had ever been very clear
to Mezera about her reluctance
to have a sexual relationship
with him, he would have
stopped and abided by her
wishes.
She also told investigators
that she would not have called
the police if she had not been
contacted by school officials
and encouraged to do so.
She said she did not think
what occurred between her and
Mezera was sexual assault, the
reports stated.
Mezera was removed from
the classroom literally within
90 minutes of the district discovering inappropriate material
linked to his email account.
Johnson said the districts
policies went from strong to
ironclad following the 2009 incidents, adding that the emails
and sexual acts that took place
in 2015 were clearly unprofessional behavior.
No other staff and no students were involved in any capacity, Johnson said. It was
these two individuals.

Alder Hans Hilbert said he
felt another parking study
would be needed to fully understand the impact the development would have on the
downtown. He said the last
downtown parking study didnt
take into account residential
growth.
I dont think that were in
the position to make the decision of whether or not it will
work without having somebody
that does understand that work
on our behalf to tell us what position it is going to put us in
overall, Hilbert said.
I understand it makes sense
from a city perspective to look
at updating your parking study

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 10, 2015

Nine
months
ago,
Middletons boys basketball
team came to Madison East
and saw its season end in
heartache.
Just two weeks into the
2015-16 campaign, its clear
these Cardinals are older,
wiser, better.
In an early-season showdown of Big Eight Conference
heavyweights, Middleton used
a pair of huge runs to topple the
host Purgolders, 93-75. The
Cardinals took control of the
game with a 17-0 run early in
the first half, and when East
pulled within five points midway through the second half,
Middleton uncorked a 16-0
burst.
It was a far cry from the
WIAA Division 1 regional
final in March, when the
Purgolders
edged
the
Cardinals, 56-53.
All year, all summer that
motivated us, said Middleton
junior forward Tyree Eady.
We felt like we shouldnt have
lost that game. We really wanted to get them back.
Eady was a big reason why
the Cardinals got measure of
revenge. Eady pumped in a
career-high 29 points and
added nine rebounds and five
steals.
Junior guard Storm Murphy
had 14 of his 20 points in a
memorable first half, while
junior guard C.J. Fermanich
made 7-of-8 shots from the
floor and all four of his free
throws on his way to 20 points.
Cardinals sophomore forward Brogan Brunker had a big
night, too, with 11 points and
seven rebounds. Madison East
star guard Deang Deang led the
Purgolders with 26 points.
Middleton displayed an
impressive amount of skill,
speed, athleticism and depth
while improving to 3-0 both
overall and in the league. The
Cardinals now share first place
in the Big Eight with Sun
Prairie,
which
defeated
Madison Memorial Tuesday.
The
Purgolders,
who
returned a large contingent of
their WIAA Division 1 state
semifinal team, slipped to 1-2,
0-2.
We talked about last year
in our pregame talk, Murphy
said. I looked around and saw
the same chairs, the same
benches and thought about how
we were so sad after that game
and a lot of the guys were crying. We came in and wanted to
pound them.
And thats what the
Cardinals did early.
Middleton used a stunning
17-0 run early in the first half
to take a 21-5 lead it would
never relinquish.
Murphy scored the first six
points of the run, all by attacking the rim and finishing with a
series of acrobatic moves in the
paint. Eady scored five points
during the surge, while
Fermanich added four and

perfect day by pinning Teague
Worlton of Nicolet in 25 seconds.

over Quentin Keller of Valders
in 3:22, then won a 10-2 decision over Stephen Multhauf of
Brookfield East.
In Round 3, Hoffman
pinned Brett Spindler of
Valders in 2:31, then followed
that by pinning Hartfords Dan
Nicoson in 3:21.
In the title match, though,
Riley Sleger of Valders toppled
Hoffman, 12-1.
At 160, Mayhew opened
with a pin over Andy Oates of
Whitefish Bay in 1:40, then
won in sudden victory over
Saif Ibraheem of Brookfield

In the championship match,

pin of Sheboygan Norths
Dante Williams in 4:34, then

then pinned Nicolets Peter
Driscoll in 4:37 and Hartfords
Evan Schmitz in 3:08.
Then in the finals, Huff fell
to Trevor Wittmus of Valders,
15-4.
