THURSDAY, AUGUST 3, 2017

by KEVIN MURPHY

During an unusually rainy
summer that has limited play
at other area golf courses,

told the Golf Course Advisory
Committee Monday.
Despite rainfall being nine
inches above a normal year to
date, Pleasant View has
closed only a half day this
summer, last week Friday,
due to wet grounds.
Rain fell during 80 percent
of the days in May, which be-

said about the natural and
contoured drainage features
of the 312-acre property.
There are level areas on the
36-hole course that dont
drain as well, including along
Blackhawk Rd., but that has
been remedied with ingenuity
to enable golfers to keep play-
ing.
While it has rain a lot, for-
tunately the rains have been
largely limited to evening
hours after the course has
closed for the day. Despite a
drenching, the course opens
the next morning.

believed that

Read that again. A majority
of self-identified Republican
voters believe that higher edu-
cation hurts America.
Ive been thinking about this
a lot. It is a shocking statement
and my visceral reaction was
that Republicans are an igno-
rant, reactionary and small-
minded group. And maybe
some of them are, but a major-

But what if they are right? As

Beyond that, what if Uni-

higher learning, science and
technology really are damag-
ing to our culture? Well, in one
way and in the short term, they
are. Technology brought us the

threw society into turmoil and
upset the agrarian balance of
life. Science brought us antibi-

on Century Avenue. Its size and
scale are disproportional to the
homes along residential stretch
for five reasons.
First, the proposed building
is the size of a battleship, that is,
124 feet wide, 274.5 feet deep,
47.5 feet tall. Best design prac-
tices call for a streetscape of +/-
30 percent of the average height
on the block. Since all sur-
rounding buildings are two sto-
ries, Stagecoach is nearly twice
as tall.
Second, the building almost
completely covers a steeply
sloped 1.18 acre footprint, thus
the hole in the ozone layer, cli-
mate change, nuclear weapons
and waste, plastic-choked
oceans, meta-data and the loss
of individual privacy, and the
extreme striation of work based
not on production but on knowl-
edge. Soon we may discover
that A.I. makes even knowl-
edge-based jobs join manufac-
turing as largely obsolete.
All of this has occurred in
just about the last 70 years.
Think of the upset to the psyche
of our oldest citizens who have
seen the entire world change.
Think of the disruption to our
small towns, our agrarian vil-
lages, our religious institutions.

TIF for the project

by CAMERON BREN
Times-Tribune
The Middleton Plan Com-
mission last week approved an
updated parking plan and agree-
ment for the Middleton Center
ongoing redevelopment project
downtown.
If approved by the common
council this week the project
will move forward with a lower
number of parking stalls than
required by city ordinance,
however, the parking will be re-
viewed in one year and the city
will have the authority to re-
quire more parking if it falls
short.
Since Terrence Wall first in-
troduced the proposal for Mid-
dleton Center he was confident
parking to cut down on the need
for a what he saw as a high
number of parking stalls. Wall
says that Middleton is changing
and the demand for parking
downtown will continue to de-
crease. He has also said the
citys ordinance is outdated and
should be rewritten.
In order to get closer to the
required number of stalls Wall
has suggested the use of vehicle
lifts, which the city is now re-
quiring in each phase of the de-
velopment, as well as shared
vehicles, a bicycle station, free
bus passes for workers in the
building and nearby off-site
parking. The latter ideas have
been encouraged but not
counted as credits for spaces by
the city.
Eileen Kelley, city planning
director, explained to the plan
commission that the city would
have authority to evaluate each
the city attorney was
working on the language for
the agreement still but was ask-
ing for approval from the plan
commission assuming there
would be no issue.
Plan commission member
Cindy Zellars asked why staff
was asking for approval without
all the details yet worked out.
Kelley said there have been
changes that need to be updated
in the general implementation
plan for the project and the cor-
responding TIF agreement. Kel-
ley said the city needed to
approve the legal language as
well.
Kelley explained that a
threshold would need to be set
for the minimum number of
parking spaces available at

the the city didnt know what to
require so they let the developer
propose a number. That was ap-
proved with the condition that
the city could require more
parking in the future if needed.
In that case it turned out to be
needed and later built.
Taylor Brengel, legal counsel
for T. Wall Enterprises said the
developer wants the parking to
work out just as much as the
city.
This is something we want
too as the developer. It is some-
thing we are working with city
staff to reevaluate because a de-
velopment like this has never
happened here, Brengel said.
The Walker study may not
fully grasp Middleton because it
is a unique situation.
Brengel said they have al-
ready paid Walker parking con-
sultants and will continue to.
been like over $100,000, a lot of
money, Brengel added.
Kelley said the city will be
doing its own study alongside
the developers.
Mayor Brar asked that the
downtown business association
made be aware of the process.
Director of community devel-
opment Abby Attoun said she
would bring it up at their next
monthly meeting.
Plan commission member
Kurt Paulsen commented on
what the city could do with all
the empty space in the future if
Wall is correct.
And in 15 years were going
to have to worry about what to
do with all this empty parking,
Paulsen said. Maybe it will be
a good warehouse for drone de-
liveries.
Commission member Dennis
Dorn said he was satisfied that
the city would be doing another
to recommend approval to the
common council. The motion
passed unanimously.
Along with the parking man-
agement agreement the com-
mission approved an
increased in developer financed
TIF for the project, meaning the
city is not in the hook if the tax
base does not match whats
been projected.
Kelley explained to the com-
mission that the increase re-
quest was because of a mistake
in the original calculation of the
value. She said this was con-
firmed by city finance director.
Following brief discussion
Dorn motioned to recommend
an additional $801,584 in devel-
oper financed TIF assistance for
phase 2 of the Middleton Center
project to the finance committee
and the common council.
The motion passed unani-
mously.

RAIL continued from page 1

balked at making Schwartz
Road a public crossing because
it was the only access into the
property south of the railroad
tracks and a stopped train could
block emergency vehicles from
reaching the property.
However, recently the De-
partment of Transportation and
the Wisconsin and Southern
Railroad both supported making
Schwartz Rd. a public crossing
in exchange for crossing a rail
crossing 475 feet west for a pri-
vate driveway into a storage fa-
cility.
That would increase the
number of vehicles using the
crossing daily from 40 to 88, ac-
cording to the OCR order.
Jim Wills, co-owner of OW
Holdings, LLC, which operates
The Storage Guy, 7209 USH
14, received approval from the
town of Middleton Town Board
last fall to expand his storage fa-
cility, if there were a safer ac-
cess to the property.
The driveway crosses the
tracks at a skewed 41-degree
angle, has an ascending ap-
proach to the track and lacks a
turning lane from USH14. This
private driveway makes the
cure worse than the illness, ac-
cording to the July 26 OCR
order.
Schwartz Rd. has none of
these limitations and the exist-
ing signals are adequate for the
two to four trains traveling at 25
mph that use the crossing daily,
according to the order.
OW Holdings and an adja-
cent property owner, Erdman
Real Estate Holdings, Inc., have
agreed to construct a road west
to link the private driveway
along their properties east to
Schwartz Rd.
Last weeks OCR order
clears the way for Wills to begin
constructing the road and the
expansion of his storage facil-
ity.
Were already turning dirt,
and it should be done by Nov.
1, Wills said Monday.
Erdman Holdings have pro-
posed and withdrawn plans for
a mixed-use residential subdivi-
sion for its property south of
Wills. More recently, it put for-
ward plans for an Olympic-
quality cross country ski
training facility on property it
calls the Bollenbeck Farm.
Plans include a trail network, a
$3 million stadium, offices, a
biathlon range and a year round
snow-making facility.
While development plans for
property south of the tracks are
expected to increase vehicle
traffic in the area, the railroad
will improve the tracks in antic-
ipation of increased rail traffic.
Madison to Spring Green rail
usage has increased 450 percent
since 2005 and is expected to
jump another 200 percent in the
next five years, according to
testimony a railroad official
submitted to the OCR. Wiscon-
sin Southern plans beef up the
tracks to 500 ties per mile be-
tween Madison and Spring
Green, and install continuous
welded rail which should allow
train speeds to increase to 40
mph.
The private crossing in The
Storage Guy facility will be
closed within 30 days and the
Schwartz Rd. crossing will be-
come public with existing sig-
nals to be used and the town of
Middleton and WSOR respon-
sible for removing brush from
the rail right of way for 330 feet
in each direction from the cross-
ing.
The WSOR plans to recon-
struct the crossing in the next
few years and the town will
share 50 percent of the crossing
improvements, according to the
order.

adds 26 stalls at the parking
lot entrance and 12 more just to
the north in a clearing.
Construction would take
about six weeks next spring and
shouldnt significantly interfere
with use of the existing parking
lot, said Blake Theisen, a land-
scape architect with Ayres As-
sociates.
Bicyclists parking their vehi-
cles and using a nearby moun-
tain bike trail adds to the
parking capacity problem at
times, said Cabalka. However,
depending on plans to develop
the adjacent erdman property,
the trail head could be moved
along with having to share park-
ing facilities with bicyclists.
Plans to widen Pleasant View
Road and relocate utilities will
also impact the golf course
causing the committee to wait
and see what is announced this
fall.
Ald. Mark Sullivan, also a
committee member, said the

A Bader Philanthropies Grant of $20,000 was awarded to
the Friends of Pheasant Branch. The two year grant, cover-
ing projects in 2017 and 2018, has four components:
1.) Programming
2.) Critical review of all materials - printed, website, etc., to
see if it works for older adults and folks with cognitive chal-
lenges
3.) Review of conservancy infrastructure that includes acces-
sibility
4.) Capacity to continue and grow programming for the target
group.
organize it, said Daly. But,
theres a certain population that
cant access it. For instance, the
Boy Scouts put in steps that
lead to underground springs.
One of the seniors we inter-
viewed said, Im not asking for
much, I just want a hand rail so
that I can go down there.
Because the conservancy is
under the umbrella of two agen-
cies, Dane County and the City
of Middleton, changes for ac-
cessibility are a collaborative
effort. Other agencies and in-
dividuals are collaborating as
well.
Dr. Jeffrey Sledge, is a Fac-
ulty Associate with the Nelson
Institute for environmental
Studies at the University of
Wisconsin-Madison. His re-
search focuses on how built
environments affect human
health and ways of using those
environments to understand,
treat, and mitigate the effects of
disease.
Sledge made a mini presenta-
tion to his graduate students
about the Conservancys grant
projects. As a result, one of the
grad students created his cap-
stone project about the Pheasant
Branch Conservancy, conduct-
ing an extensive study and giv-
ing recommendations that will
make the conservancy friendly
to all age groups.
Another UW collaborative
effort is with its School of Nurs-
ing. Katie Mead, a Ph.D candi-
date doing work on nursing as-
sistance for caregivers and fam-
ily members, has played a big
role in training the volunteers
for the Senior Days and Demen-
tia Friendly Days that are
scheduled as part of the grant.
To prepare for the events,
Mead spent time in the conser-
vancy as well as got input from
the population who the days are
being planned for. Along with
the board, she helped to plan the
days activities.
Those plans were adjusted
when further input came from
the seniors themselves and from
members of the organizations
who serve them. A key ques-
tion was, In what way can the
Pheasant Branch conservancy
be part of your daily life?
The answers to that question
brought tons of information on
how to build the program that
weve created. said Daly.
And, it addresses the building
capacity to continue compo-
nent of the grant.
Senior Days and Dementia
Friendly Days were scheduled
for July 26 and Aug. 2 with rain
dates of July 28 and Aug. 4, re-
spectively. A third day is being
planned for sometime in Sep-
tember.
At each event, 15 people par-
ticipate in the morning and an-
other 15 in the afternoon of that
same day. Wheelchair-bound
people are included in the pop-
ulation being served. The small
group size is intended to maxi-
mize the engagement of all par-
ticipants.
Middleton Glen agreed to co-
the days topic, Prairie Grasses
and Flowers, at the Glen. At
approximately 10:20, partici-
pantsboard the Middleton Trol-
ley to travel to Orchard Heights
Park. There, they transition to
one of three golf carts and be
given a headset.
each cart goes to a different
spot in the conservancy. The
carts will be driven by natural-
ists who will be wearing a wire-
less transmitter to relate
information, about the flowers
and grasses which will be at
their peak, directly to the head-
sets.
Participants learn about the
uniqueness of an urban wilder-
ness along with a bit of the his-
tory on how Pheasant Branch
Conservancy came to be. Light
stretching and other exercises
will be offered along the way,
modeling what the SAC hopes
seniors will do on return visits.
The morning and afternoon
groups overlap back at Orchard
Park. Lauren Banks, the Pro-
gram Director for Middleton
Glen, arranged for boxed
lunches to be served to all par-
ticipants and volunteers.
Because part of the grant is to
build capacity for return visits
to the conservancy, activity di-
rectors of area senior living cen-
ters will be trained to continue
similar visits in the future. In
addition to working with these
centers, the Friends of Pheasant
Branch Senior Advisory Com-
mittee is collaborating with the
Alzheimers Alliance, Dane
County Dementia Coalition,
Memory Cafes in Middleton
and Waunakee and the Senior
Center in Waunakee.
Volunteer hosts are still
needed to; welcome partici-
pants at the Glen; help with
trolley boarding and disem-
barking; and at sites within the
conservancy. If youd like to
help please contact Anne
Boucher at

I feel I have a happy, normal

But Baliker admits she found
it both emotional and difficult to

about the Helen C. Bader Phi-
lanthropy fund of Milwaukee.
Bader Philanthropies is a
well-known group with a num-
ber of human interest projects.
A new initiative, in 2016, en-
couraged grant applications for
projects that would support peo-
ple with cognitive challenges
such as Alzheimers and demen-
tia.
Daly and other volunteer
members of the education com-
mittee did the painstaking work
to collect data, create a vision,
then apply for the funds. Their
efforts paid off both figuratively
and literally.
Once the grant was obtained,
area seniors were again asked
for input to guide the planning
process for programming and to
get specifics on how to revise
and enhance Pheasant Branch in
ways that respond to their
needs.
We have to keep in mind
that the conservancy is not a
park. It is meant to focus on na-
ture so we dont want to over-
host the events. There is a brief

Middleton rolls into the postseason

The Middleton 29ers look

Brandon Scheidler hit a
grand slam, Alec Morrison

29ers finished their Home
Talent regular season on a high
note, traveling to division rival
Ashton and beating them hand-
ily, 17-5, on Sunday.
Middleton and Ashton, both
in the Northern eastern
Division of the Home Talent
league, finished their regular
seasons with records of 14-2
and 9-7, respectively.
Schiedler was one of the
stars for Middleton, dealing a

last week.
It was Bauers third time
competing for the Middleton
Gators swimming program in
the event, which was held for
the first time since 1964 at
Maple Bluff Country Club
and attracted a record 2,000-
plus competitors.
I love to swim. This is my

Scheidlers home run was an

nosed with epilepsy when she
was six years old, following
her first summer of swimming
with the Gators. At first, her
mother, erin, said doctors had
trouble getting her seizures
under control with medica-
tion.
The first day she had a
seizure, she had 14 seizures.
We brought her into the eR,
into the hospital and it was
pretty dramatic, erin Bauer
said. The doctor said to keep
doing what she was doing
because that was important
for her. So, she kept partici-
pating in her usual activities
and school.
erin Bauer said one possi-
bility discussed was to per-
form neurosurgery and
remove the area of her daugh-
ters brain that was generating
the seizures.
But that wasnt an option
because the area that was pro-
ducing the seizures was
important for language, erin
Bauer said. So, it was kind of
back to the drawing board.
Bauer said the next idea
was to implant a new device
On the rebound
Before Chiara could even
think about swimming, she
had many obstacles to over-
come.
There were some prob-
lems with her short-term
memory, and shes right-hand-
ed and still doesnt have the
dexterity in her right hand,
erin Bauer said. She had to
relearn everything with her
left hand which made com-
pleting writing assignments
pretty, challenging.
The left side of the brain
is also important for speech.
At first, she couldnt talk at
all. Now she is testing about
average for her age. She was
probably a bit above average
before, but she made a really
good comeback with that.
When Chiara returned to
school, she also had to use a
wheelchair to get around.
But not for long.
She wanted to keep up
with her friends, her mother
said. So, within a week of
being back at school she was
using a cane. That was a big
Chiara.
Its been very rewarding
to see her progress from
where she started after her
surgery to where she is now,
Brus said. Having coached
her before the surgery, I knew
how she learned and what her
dynamic was. I knew what she
could do prior to her health
issues. That was helpful infor-
mation when I was trying to
develop these new lessons and
gave me an idea of what to
work towards.
Back to competition
While Chiaras primary
swimming goal was to rejoin
the Gators team, erin Bauer
said a co-worker told her
about additional opportunities
for her daughter.
At that point, Chiara had
had two lessons. But some-
body at work cued me into the
Dairyland Games that were
going to be held at Middleton
High School, erin Bauer
said.
The Dairyland Games are
the first and only regional
event in Wisconsin where ath-
short period.
Her strength from the
beginning of the season to
now is incredible, Kent said.
I help her up on the (starting)
block. She can practically do
it on her own, but we still do it
for balance and safety precau-
tions because the blocks are
pretty, high.
She cant get out of the
pool herself, but she is work-
ing up to that point. erin was
saying her physical therapist
was real shocked at how much
progress shes made in such a
short time.
Kent said she has never
coached a child who has had
such a significant setback at
such a young age and still had
a great attitude about it.
She will never complain,
Kent said. We have to tell her
when we notice her stroke is
starting to fall apart when her
right her arm isnt coming out
of the pool as much. She
wont take a break unless you
tell her.
We have an eight-lane

similar to a pacemaker for the
brain for people for who
have seizures that detects
the seizure before it manifests
itself and essentially zaps the
brain to stop that from hap-
pening.
First, though, doctors need-
ed to pinpoint where Chiaras
seizures were coming from.
That included attaching elec-
trodes into the brain, monitor-
ing her in the hospital for a
week or so, and watching her
have seizures and figuring out
where they were coming
from.
The procedure was per-
formed in the spring of 2016
and again this past February.
However, complications
arose from the latest surgery.
They were putting the
electrodes in and they hit a
blood vessel and that caused a
major bleed. It was essentially
a stroke, a hemorrhage, erin
Bauer said. She was in the
intensive care unit for about a
week. They basically had her
in a medically-induced coma
to rest her brain.
erin Bauer said that when
Chiara woke up in the hospi-
tal, she was unable to speak or
sit up. Her bleeding was on
the left side of her brain, so
she was unable to move the
right side of her body at all.
That didnt prevent Chiara
as soon as she was able
from asking her parents when
she could sign up for the
Gators swimming team again.
They have comfy warm-
ups for swimming and we
brought those to the hospital,
erin Bauer said. She wore
her Gators warm-ups a lot,
and it got her thinking about
swimming and wanting to get
back to swimming.
motivator.
But not as big as Chiaras
desire to get back in the pool.
When she was in the hos-
pital, one of her therapists
arranged for her to get into the
aqua-therapy tank. She was
just so excited about it. She
just loved that, her father,
Matt Bauer, said.
Just being able to be in the
water was a true delight to
her, and doing (physical thera-
py) in there was so fun for her,
she forgot that it was work.
After Chiara returned home
from the hospital, her parents
remembered that Harbor
Athletic Club had a warm
water pool, which they
thought would be great for her
recovery.
It also opened the door for
Chiara who loves to run
and ski to get back to her
favorite sport.
I wasnt planning for her
to do swim team, erin Bauer
said. I talked to her physical
therapist in the hospital and
she said No, that wasnt
going to happen. She wasnt
going to be able to swim. But
I didnt tell Chiara that.
But when Chiara got in the
pool at the Harbor Athletic
Club, she started practicing
her strokes.
So her parents contacted
Michael Brus, an instructor at
Harbor Athletic Club, who
had been one of Chiaras pre-
vious swimming teachers and
signed up for some private
lessons.
I thought if nothing else,
it would be PT for her, but he
got her back into swimming,
erin Bauer said.
Brus said just getting back
in the pool after the surgery
was a comfortable thing for
letes with physical and visual
disabilities can qualify for the
Adaptive Sports USA Junior
Nationals, which were held
July 13-22 also at Middleton
High School.
We werent sure if she
would be able to compete, but
we got in touch with event
coordinator, Mikayla Scott,
and got Chiara signed up,
erin Bauer said. We thought
it would be fun if she could
qualify for this national meet
in the summer.
Chiara competed in the
Dairyland Games the first
weekend of May after
shed been out of the hospital
for about a month and
made the times she needed to
qualify for the Junior National
meet.
She then rejoined the
Gators team, which began
practice the week after
Memorial Day.
Andi Kent, who has served
as the Gators 8-and-under
coach for the past five years,
said Chiara has made a sur-
prising recovery in such a
enced swimmers and one is
the kids who are still really
just getting their strokes
down. Chiara has been in lane
six all season. She has been
pretty much up there with the
pack doing everything that
she can do, which is pretty
cool.
Successful summer
Chiara competed in the
Adaptive Sports USA Junior
Nationals, where she was the
youngest swimmer in her age
group and placed first in the
backstroke and freestyle.
But while relaxing in the
Middleton team tent at the
All-City meet during a lunch
break on Friday, erin and
Matt Bauer shared their joy at
watching Chiara compete in
her final meet of the summer.
In the hospital, the physi-
cal therapist, who I would say
is a pretty optimistic person,
said No competitive swim-
ming is going to be happening
this summer, erin said shak-
ing her head.
She said, You guys can

Gators second at All-City meet
The Middleton Gators fin-
ished second at the 57th annual
All-City Swim and Dive
Championship held last
Thursday through Saturday at
Maple Bluff Country Club.
Thirteen teams from club
pools around the Madison area
competed in earnest for the
league title at the end of the
summer swimming season.
This year, nearly 2,700 swim-
mers competed in age groups
ranging from 3-18.
Ridgewood won the event
with 1,820.5 points. Middleton
was second at 1,655.5, while
Seminole (1,627), Monona
(1,544.5) and Shorewood Hills
(1,258) rounded out the top
five.
I think the biggest chal-
lenge this year was the number
of swimmers we took on,
Middleton coach Lauren
Cabalka said. This was the
biggest team we have ever had,
including many new swim-
mers.It took us a bit longer to
learn where our strengths and
areas for growth were, but once
we did, we were unstoppable.
Middleton took first place in
the 8-and-under girls and 9-10
boys age groups, and finished
second in 11-12 boys and 13-
14 boys age groups. The 8-and-
under girls age group scored
the most points of any other
age group in the competition
(320).
It just shows how our
swimmers were able to dig

City meet last week.
deep when we needed it most,
Cabalka said. They worked
hard all season to improve and
perfect their race elements and
came ready to race this week-
end. A second place finish
shows that we were able to per-
form to our ability and leave

nothing behind. We are so
proud of this team.

CITY OF MIDDLETON FLOODPLAIN ZONING
ORDINANCE
To Whom It May Concern:
The City of Middleton Zoning Board of Appeals will meet on
Thursday, August 10, 2017, at 7:10 p.m., at Middleton City Hall,
Conference Room B, to hold a public hearing and consider taking
action on the following application for variance from the City of
Middleton Floodplain Zoning Ordinance:
1. 5901 Clarewood Court: Chuck Nahn, on behalf of Randy
and Nancy Trachte, requests a variance from the Citys floodplain
zoning regulations to allow the construction of a residential addi-
tion whose foundation walls will be set back 8 feet from the edge
of the base flood elevation. Section 24.05(3) of the Citys
Floodplain Zoning Ordinance requires that the lowest floor level
of any new structure (excluding the basement or crawlway) shall
be at or above the flood protection elevation on fill. The fill shall
be one foot or more above the regional flood elevation extending
at least 15 feet beyond the limits of the structure. In other words,
the ordinance states that the building footprint must be surround-
ed by 15 feet of fill that is at least 1 foot or higher of base flood
elevation. The proposed 8 ft. distance would apply to the north,
west and south sides of the addition. The east side of the struc-
ture would tie in with the existing grade that is already 1 ft. above
the base flood elevation. Both the existing structure and the site
of the proposed addition have been removed from the 100 year
floodplain through the provision of compensating volumes.
At the meeting, all interested persons will have an opportunity

from the bullpen.
Weve got three starters
between Farrell, Morrison, and
Schafer that we can throw out
there any given day,
Hellenbrand said. I feel pretty
good with our pitching.
For us, we dont care who
we play. We need to come and
play the best game that we can.
A whole new season starts on
Sunday. Its win or go home.
Ashton enters as the No. 4
seed and will host a game
against fifth-seeded
Mazomanie (8-8). Ashton split
the season series with
Mazomanie this season, win-
ning earlier in the year and los-
ing its most recent game to the
Mustangs.
Ashton had a solid second
half of the season, finishing 5-3
down the stretch, including
wins over playoff teams Cross
Plains, Waunakee, Black earth,
and Reedsburg.
Out of every team we
might play, weve beat, Derek
Prochaska said. So we have
confidence there.
The As feature two of the
HTLs top hitters in Drew
Finley-Haag and Liam
Belleveau. Finley-Haag is hit-
ting .500 on the year (26-for-
52), while Belleveaus average
currently stands at .425 (17-of-
40).
Ashton will count on hard-
throwers Derrick Rothwell and
Kevin Peternell to lead the
pitching staff.
With Derrick and Kevin,
were solid pitching-wise,
Prochaska said.
Ashton must shore up the
defense if it wants to make a
run, as evidenced by the five
errors the As committed in
Sundays game against
Middleton.
We can put up runs,
Prochaska said. We just cant
give teams extra outs and runs
they dont earn.
Seventh-seeded Black earth
(8-8) will travel to face second-
seeded Sauk Prairie (13-3).
Black earth lost both of its
games to Sauk Prairie this sea-
son by a combined score of 21-
2.
The Bombers come limping
into the playoffs having lost
three straight games. Black
earth also has gone 28 innings
without scoring a run.
Weve proven most of the
season we can score runs,
Bombers manager eric Duhr
said after a recent loss to Cross
Plains. Were in a little funk
right now.
Black earth will look to
leading hitters Marcus
Caminiti (.379) and Danny
Watkins (.341) to attempt to
spark the offense.
Black earth was outscored,
102-75, during the regular sea-
son and will need to score some
runs if it hopes to advance.
One guy has to get that big
hit for us, Duhr said. I know
(the offense) will break out if
we get that one big hit.
Cross Plains (8-8) is seeded
sixth and will travel to third-
seeded Reedsburg (11-5).
Cross Plains split the season
series against Reedsburg, with
MIDDLETON TIMES-TRIBUNE THURSDAY, AUGUST 3, 2017

each team winning on its home
diamond.
Cross Plains has had a roller
coaster second half of the sea-
son, winning four of its last six
games after losing four straight
in the middle of the year. The
Businessmen turned their sea-
son around after beating
Middleton to snap a four-game
skid.
Said manager Randy
Meinholz after the crucial win
versus Middleton: You start
believing that, Hey, maybe we
arent that good, [but] I kept
telling the guys were as good
as anyone in the league.
Cross Plains Will Doherty
finished the year with a .421
batting average and had a 10-
game hitting streak in the mid-
dle of the season. Drew
Meinholz batted .388 and will
look to spark an offense that
seems to come up with the
clutch hit on a regular basis.
Kenny Allen leads a pitch-
ing staff that allowed 76 runs
on the season, but only 14 over
the final six games. Jared Times-Tribune photo by Mary Langenfeld

tough out in the playoffs with
its timely hitting and pitching
that led to its second half surge.
Were getting clutch hits
and weve shored up our
defense, Meinholz said.
Were making plays now,
where we werent earlier in the
season. Its going to be a dog-
fight until the end.
All games are scheduled for
