Auntie Jill’s to Take Part in Taste of Madison

Submitted by MTT News on Sun, 09/01/2019 - 12:16

MIDDLETON–Jill Enerson was fresh off a divorce and trying to find a way to make more money to support her three daughters when she decided to launch Auntie Jill’s Custom Cheesecakes 10 years ago. Now the Middleton woman has won a blue ribbon in the Taste of Madison Homestyle Desserts category, and earned a place at the prestigious and highly sought-after event.

“I thought about doing Taste of Madison for four years and finally decided to put in an application,” she said of her entry.

In July she went to the pre-judging where more than 30 restaurants were presenting their creations. Enerson chose to do frozen cheesecake on a stick. “Everything at fairs is on a stick, so we might as well join them,” she laughed.

Auntie Jill’s quickly became a family affair with daughters Arianna, 22, and twins Addalie and Annaliese, 16, by her side in the kitchen. Enerson said the girls have been her biggest fans and provided the best quality control.

Airport Solar Array Will Save City, School District Money

Submitted by MTT News on Sun, 09/01/2019 - 12:09

MIDDLETON–The solar array to be installed at the Middleton Municipal Airport is estimated to save the city of Middleton and the Middleton-Cross Plains School District a combined estimated $1.41 million during the next 30 years compared to rates from non-renewable energy sources, according to local officials.

The school district anticipates saving $28,381 in electricity costs during the first year the array is operational and $1.059 million by 2048, according to Perry Hibner, district spokesman.

“We are basing the savings on the current prices for electricity and fuels. If they go up, our savings should go up. If they go down, our savings would be less,” he wrote Tuesday in response to a reporter’s questions.

The city should save an estimated $353,000 during the next 30 years, said Abby Attoun, director of planning and community development.

MIDDLETON–Shaney Andler is not new to volunteering, and the Middleton special education teacher wanted to pass that on to high school students, so she started Bridge Volunteering last year, and serves as its president. Now the organization that is geared toward student with mental health issue, though open to all, will have a home.

Andler is opening a hub for volunteer projects that students can chose to help fulfill their required service hours. The Middleton-Cross Plains Area School District requires that all student have 40 hours of service hours to graduate, with two kids of her own Andler found the requirement challenging to achieve. “
