First Public Meeting Held Regarding
Pleasant View Road Improvements
BY KEVIN MURPHY
Times-Tribune
MIDDLETON–Concerns
about intersection design and
traffic capacity were raised June
28 at the first public meeting on
the reconstruction of Pleasant
View Road.
The estimated $28.1 mil-
lion project converts 2.5 miles
of Pleasant View Rd. from a
mostly rural two-lane road to
a four-lane major arterial street
from Mineral Point Road north
to US 14.
The road design is scheduled
to be completed by next sum-
mer. Construction is to begin
in 2021 and work south from
US 14 to Greenway Boulevard
from Greenway to Old Sauk
Road in 2022, and Old Sauk
to Mineral Point Road in 2023,
said Brian Andreas, an engineer
with Strand Associates, Inc.
Work also includes installing
curb and gutter, street lighting,
replacing storm and sanitary
sewer and moving transmis-
sion line poles out of the right
of way.
Squeezing four lanes, a
21-foot-wide raised median,
shoulders, sidewalks or paths,
between apartment buildings,
a cemetery, a historic church,
a golf course and commercial
development, is tasked to en-
gineers at Strand Associates,
and the cities of Middleton and
Madison.
Dick Bakken advised An-
dreas to “build it big enough,”
to accommodate the heavy,
oversized crushing plants
hauled from his Northwestern
Stone quarry near the north end

of the project.
“It’s under designed at 11-
foot (wide) lanes,” said Bak-
ken. “It should be 12-foot lanes.
It’s a truck route.”
“We don’t build 12-foot
lanes anymore,” said Christy
Bachman, a city of Madison
engineer.
Busy East Washington Av-
enue in Madison, was rebuilt
with 10-foot lanes, she said.
Each of the five intersections
affected by project have been
initially evaluated for possible
traffic signals or roundabouts.
Andreas noted that roundabouts
require more land than signals
but may cost less to maintain
and slow traffic lessening the
severity of crashes. Signals re-
quire less right of way, are safer
for pedestrian crossings, and
can be adjusted for changing
traffic patterns over time.
A roundabout at Greenway
Boulevard has been strongly
opposed by the Pleasant View
Golf Course Advisory Com-
mittee, although the city’s Pub-
lic Works Committee and Plan
Commission support a round-
about there.
Expanding the roadway and
installing traffic lights would
require another .4 acres of right
of way and does not encroach
on the golf course as much as
a roundabout would, said An-

MIDDLETON–The Middle-
ton-Cross Plains Area School
Board reviewed the full scope
of facility expansion projects
slated for construction should
voters approve a projected $140
million referendum. The board
also reviewed the wording of
the ballot question which will
be voted on July 16.
Chris Michaud of Eppstein
Uhen Architect’s presented the
project plans and Matt Premo
of Findorff Construction went
over the estimated costs total-
ing $138.99 million.
The plan includes expand-
ing Middleton High School
and Park Elementary, a new
elementary school adjacent to
Pope Farms Conservancy and
converting Clark Street Com-
munity School to and early
childhood and 4K site to free
up space at other schools.
Michaud explained that the
MHS expansion would involve
multiple demolitions and ad-
ditions in two phases of con-
struction which will increase
capacity from about 2,100 to
dreas. A roundabout would re-
quire .5 acres of additional right
of way which would extend
further into the golf course and
south along the road, he said.
Alder Mark Sullivan asked
Andreas if statutes protecting
recreational land, including the
golf course, prohibit a round-
about there.
“Which option causes the
less amount of overall harm
(to the golf course),” Sullivan
asked.
Andreas said he wants input
from the golf course archi-
tect the city will hire to pro-
vide more information on the
choices.
Someone else asked if the ad-
ditional .1 acre a roundabout re-
quires makes the Lakes Course
second hole, “unplayable.”
“If you intrude on the golf
course it violates the statute,”
Sullivan responded.
Andreas said he could at-
tend the golf committee’s July
meeting to further discuss the
intersection.
The Elderberry Road inter-
section does not currently have
enough traffic to warrant a traf-
fic signal but should eventually
reach that threshold, Andreas
said. Currently, it’s a close call
as to whether a signal or round-
about best serves that location,
he added.
3,000 students.
Phase one would be on the
north end of the building and
begin in 2020. Phase 2 would
demolish of parts on the south
end and include a new three-
story addition, along with
heavy renovation to begin in
2021. After construction the
high school would have about
350,000 square feet with nearly
295,000 of it being new con-
struction.
Main entrances would be
located on the north and south
end, which Michaud said would
be appropriate considering the
size of the school.
The new elementary school
adjacent to Pope Farms Con-
servancy plan calls for 25 class-
rooms along with three bubble
classrooms and would include
a geothermal energy system.
Michaud noted the plan was
designed so that another school
could be built on the site in the
future.
Superintendent George Mav-
roulis pointed out to the board
that a Makerspace area and col-
laboration spaces are the only
things in the proposed school
that are not in the other elemen-
Selecting a roundabout or
signal for the Blackhawk Road
intersection is also a close call,
he said, after considering safety
and need for additional right of
way.
The Quarry Road intersec-
tion also doesn’t have sufficient
traffic counts to support federal
funding for signals. A round-
about there would require .7
acres of additional right of way
and encroach into the North-
western quarry, Andreas said.
The US 14 intersection will
remain signalized but lanes will
be added for turning and stack-
ing traffic, Andreas said.
The decision to select traffic
signals or a roundabout at any
intersection will be based on
safety, the level of service it
provides, cost, access and im-
pact on public lands, Andreas
told the audience. Input from
residents and local govern-
ments factor into the decisions,
too, he added.
Federal dollars will largely
fund the project, said Andreas,
but the cost share, typically 60
percent federal and 40 percent
local, has yet to be determined.
Also, under consideration is
a pedestrian bridge north of the
golf course to connect an ex-
isting recreational path on the
road’s east side with a proposed
path on the west side. An alter-
tary schools.
Park Elementary would get a
new cafeteria and have a couple
of classrooms and bathrooms
near the addition renovated.
There would also be improve-
ments to the playground and
an outdoor learning space. The
plan would allow new class-
rooms to be added at Park if
enrollment increases in coming
years as projected, Michaud ex-
plained.
Clark Street Community
School (CSCS) would be in-
tegrated into the High School
and the current building would
be used as an early childhood
and 4K site with capacity for 44
students and 12 administrators.
Michaud said most of the space
will stay the same with the ex-
ception of a few rooms being
combined, added storage and a
bathroom renovation. An out-
door play area with an age-ap-
propriate play structure would
also be built, he said.

native would be an at-grade pe-
destrian crossing located nearer
the golf course entrance.
The hill on Pleasant View
Road north of the golf course
would be lowered 20 feet to im-
prove sight lines, said Andreas.
Impacts to the German Lu-
theran Cemetery, near Old Sauk
Rd., will be minimal, according
to Andreas.
The road will remain open
to through traffic in both direc-
tions during construction, how-
ever, short-term detours may be
required, Andreas said.
There will be no openings in
the raised median will which
restrict traffic, except at inter-
sections to only right turn in
and right turn out, said Andreas.
Traffic counts currently at
about 10,000 vehicles per day
are projected to increase to
19,000 daily at the southern
portion of the road to 14,000 at
the northern portion by 2041,
said Andreas.
A second public meeting will
be held this winter and a third
will be planned for early 2021,
prior to construction commenc-

Former Middleton Man Screens Short Films,
Collaborates on Another with Classmate
BY KEVIN MURPHY
Times-Tribune
MIDDLETON–In a short
movie shot by a former town
of Middleton man, a forlorn
bachelor writes a suicide note
to a woman who has apparently
abandon him, then puts his head
through a noose strung from a
chandelier.
The man kicks away the
stool he has been standing on,
slumps into the noose and pre-
pares for the inevitable.
However, his dog snatches
the note from a desk and chews
it to pieces.
The phone rings, it’s the
woman. She waits for him to
pick up, but he can only thrash
about while suspended from
the ceiling. She leaves a mes-
sage, telling him she’s been out
of town for days, misses him
and looks forward to getting
together.
Frantically now, the man

Plan Commission Approves TIF for Affordable Condos
BY CAMERON BREN
Times-Tribune
MIDDLETON–The Middle-
ton Plan Commission approved
a TIF agreement for $736,000
to assist Cornerstone Develop-
ment with extraordinary costs
in constructing 48 condos and
subsidizing affordable units
reserved for residents making
80 percent of the area median
income or less.
Director of community de-
velopment Abby Attoun ex-
plained the agreement would tie
into an ongoing condo develop-
ment which began in 2006 and
stalled during the economic re-
cession in 2008. The developer
started building again in 2016
and now hopes to add another
phase.
“They would like to build
three additional buildings at
their property and they have
run into some extraordinary
costs of development and also
the need for an emergency ac-
cess drive,” Attoun said.

The audience screening
“For Annabelle” at Common
Ground, on Branch Street on
June 26, chuckles at the irony
of the scene and the comedic
touch Peter Mackie uses on a
sensitive subject.
Mackie, a Middleton High
School graduate, and now of
West Hollywood, CA, is in
town raising money to finish
“Sergey’s Fortune,” a film he
directed and is written by friend
and MHS alum, Nick Vitale.
It’s the first collaboration
between the two who once ed-
ited the MHS newspaper, The
Cardinal Times, and bonded as
teens over Quentin Tarantino
films.
“I like dark comedy, Coen
Brothers movies, so does
Peter,” said Nick, who has re-
mained in Middleton and works
in area coffeehouses when not
the request and is recommend-
ing approval.
Attoun said the TIF request
would be developer financed,
minimizing risk to the city and
has already been approved by
the Workforce Housing Com-
mittee. Attoun noted the project
is only one of a few owner-oc-
cupied affordable housing op-
tions in the city.
“It is the only owner-occu-
pied that has been constructed
in the city in the last 10 years
with the exception of Tom
Goff’s project on Amherst
Road,” Attoun said.
Attoun said some of the units
at the site are currently being
rented and that may be the case
for the new units as well.
“Due to the condo market
being a little soft right now
and financing issues they have
been renting the units,” Attoun
explained. “Their ultimate goal
is to be able to sell the units,
they are thinking as the market
improves in three to four years
they will be listing these for
sale.”

A memo from city adminis-
trator Mike Davis explained the
history of the project.
In 2006 the city sold prop-
erty it had acquired to Corner-
stone Development, valued at
$1,654,000, for the prospect of
developing affordable condos.
The city gave the developer a
discount on the land of about
$391,000 in anticipation of
35 income eligible units or 25
percent of the total units devel-
oped.
In phase one, 44 units were
construct of which 18 were sold
to people making 80 percent
AMI or less. Phase two started
in 2016 and includes one 12
unit building with four resi-
dents that qualify for low-in-
come assistance.
The proposed phase three
includes three 16 unit buildings
totaling 48 units, of which 10
would be reserved for low-in-
come residents.
Davis pointed out part of the
agreement the city made with
Cornerstone indicated it would
work with the Town of Mid-
dleton to create an emergency
access road within five years.

any obligation to construct such
an emergency drive,” Davis ex-
plained.
Davis said the TIF request is
a revised request following the
developer’s first inquiry seek-
ing financial help for construc-
tion of the emergency access
road.
“Since the council balked at
the initial request for assistance
with Whispering Pines because
it didn’t include compensation
to the city for use of its lands
for storm water, Whispering
Pines has made this TIF re-
quest,” Davis said.
Davis said his recommenda-
tion is to provide $571,710 in
developer financed TIF and an
additional $165,000 for con-
structing the access road. A
lump sum of $243,261 would
be incentive to assist with mak-
ing the units affordable to pro-
spective purchasers.
“The city’s net gain from this
additional development would
be 10 qualified affordable con-
dos and an estimated net gain of
nearly $700,000 in increment
generated,” Davis said.
Plan commission member
Kurt Paulsen made a motion
to approve to TIF request. The
motion passed unanimously.

Healthy Dane Funders
Support Fresh Food Access
MADISON–The Willy
Street Co-op, is helping local
families stretch their food
dollars with the Double Dol-
lars program. In the month of
July, for every dollar contrib-
uted to the Double Dollars
Fund at the Willy Street Co-
op, Healthy Dane Funders
will donate two dollars, up to
$10,000.
Double Dollars is a com-
munity partnership program
between the City of Madi-
son, Dane County, the Com-
munity Action Coalition, 10
local farmers markets, and
Willy Street Co-op that offers
FoodShare recipients greater
access to fresh, healthy food.

one with a goal of $15,000.
Using the www.seed-
andspark.com/fund/segeys-for-
tune website, in four days, the
campaign had raised $6,205,
by June 28, pleasing Mackie
and Vitale.
“Open up your hearts, but
more importantly, open your
purse strings. Send someone
from Middleton to Sundance
(Film Festival),” Vitale quipped
about plans for the film.
The $15,000 will cover
post-production costs and
hopefully allow the film to be
offered to the Sundance festival
before the September deadline,
Mackie said.
Vitale is excited about the
film’s prospects and the oppor-
tunity to continue writing for
Mackie.
“I’d like to do this for the rest
of my life, but from Middleton.
It’s just a place that’s more
me,” he said.
The Double Dollars pro-
gram allows FoodShare
recipients to stretch their
benefit dollars even further
by receiving food vouchers
to use at local farmers mar-
kets this season. The vouch-
ers help make food more
affordable for those receiv-
ing Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program (SNAP)
benefits.
“The Community Action
Coalition is excited for an-
other successful season of
Double Dollars, especially
as we expand to three new
markets in the Madison
area,” said Mallory Swen-
son, CAC’s Community En-
gagement/Fund Development
Specialist. “Offering Double
Dollars at these local farm-
ers markets and at the Co-op
are an important way we can
achieve our mission to de-
velop the economic and so-
cial capacities of individuals,
families, and communities
to reduce poverty in Dane
County.”
How the donation match
works is simple. When com-
munity members shop at
Willy Street Co-op from July
1-31, they can donate funds
to Double Dollars at the cash
register. A credit is also made
to the program by shoppers
who use reusable shopping
bags at checkout. At the end
of the matching campaign,
Healthy Dane Funders will
double the donations made
by members of the Co-op, up
to $10,000.
Double Dollars was piloted
in 2016 by local health orga-
nizations as a way to provide
more fresh and healthy food
options to local community
members.

Local Man Competes at American Ninja Warrior in Minneapolis
BY MICHELLE PHILLIPS
Times-Tribune
MCFARLAND–It’s not easy
to become an American Ninja
Warrior, it takes hard work,
dedication and time. Fred Bart-
man has put in that work, time
and dedication and it has paid
off. The McFarland man, who
until recently was a guidance
counselor at Kromrey Middle
School in Middleton, was cho-
sen to run the American Ninja
Warrior (ANW) course in Min-
neapolis this spring.
The show features an ob-
stacle course with fitness and
strength challenges. The com-
petitors get to see the course,
but do not get to do a trial
run. They get just one shot to
make it all the way through to
try for the top $1 million prize,
which has one been won once
in the show’s history. Contes-
tants can win smaller prizes for
challenges, including $10,000
if they make it up an 18-foot
curved wall.
Bartman, 38 has been train-
ing and competing in local
ninja competitions for the last
four years, and even did a trial
run of the Indianapolis course
a couple of years ago. After
applying each of those years,
Bartman was finally chosen to
compete in this season’s event.
He said 500-600 people, both
men and women, were chosen
from a field of 80,000 appli-
cants.
“The experience itself was
just surreal. I have been train-
ing for four years, and it was
just amazing to see some of the
celebrities and competitors,” he
stated.
Like a lot of people, I was sit-
ting on the couch watching the
show and thought, ‘That looks
like a lot of fun! I should give
it a try!’” Said Bartman, who
added that he had no climbing,
gymnastics or parkour back-
ground when he began training
and competing in area events.
The training can be intense
and Bartman said he can only
do the ninja training two or
three times a week. Much of
the focus of the training is
upper body strength. “I remem-
ber the first day of training for
ninja warrior and trying to tra-
verse a long rock climbing wall
without using my feet. I ended
up falling after a short distance
because my hands and arms
hurt so much,” he remembered.
“At the time the gym teachers
had benchmarks taped to the
wall for their classes, and I fell
at the seventh-grade girl mini-
mum mark.”

Musings
BY MICHELLE PHILLIPS
Journalists
Journalists are relatively safe
in the United States, at least they
used to be. After the shooting at
the Capital Gazette in Annapolis,
MD that killed five journalists
and severely injured three others,
I am no longer sure.
I wanted to go to the Middle
East to cover the Iraq war when
it broke out. I was willing to
foot the bill and quit my job to
achieve this, but my husband
said, “Journalists disappear from
the Middle East all the time.” He
was right. Journalists do disap-
pear from the Middle East and
other parts of the world every
day. We have been pretty insu-
lated from that for the most part.
Of course, everyone has seen
the photos and videos of writers
being beheaded, or executed in
some equally barbaric manner,
but we haven’t seen it here.
It makes me wonder, though,
is that the road we are headed
down? When men and women
are reporting on events in the US
must we now look at everyone
as suspect? As someone who is
generally suspicious of people’s
motives, it isn’t a stretch for me
to perpetually have my guard up.
I have worked at a lot of
places, mostly as a freelance
writer, or editor, but I have also
covered crime and corruption.
In all of my years as a reporter,
I have only questioned my safety
during one time frame. In Ana-
mosa, IA when I covered some
shady dealings and illegal closed
staff.
The town was divided on a
land issue and the school board’s
handling of the matter. I wrote a
three-part series about the school
district’s need for a new school
and the way they were going
about it. In the end, when they
were holding closed sessions
or having meetings without 24-
hour notice, the district was sued.
Subsequently, I was subpoenaed
and ordered to release faxes I re-
ceived of school board agendas
as well as to testify concerning
the school board breaking the
Iowa Sunshine Laws.
Once I testified, I thought the
worst would be over. After all,
getting up before a judge and
testifying against people I had
known and worked with for
years was intimidating, even for
someone who is not easily intim-
idated. It would seem the fun had
just begun, though.
A few days after my testimony,
I got a call from an angry man
who chose not to identify him-
the police, but there was nothing
they could do to help identify the
individual. His call was not the
only call I received Another that
sticks out in my mind was from
a woman who threatened to have
her husband beat me and my
family “senseless.”
Over the coming months I
was often verbally attacked in
public when I would go to cover
an event. People had no prob-
lem coming up to me and telling
me what a horrible person I was
because I testified against the
school board. My response was
always the same, “If they hadn’t
been breaking the law, I would
not have been subpoenaed.”
Somehow, though, people
think that if they are breaking
the law because it is to their
benefit, it’s okay, like with this
illegal land purchase. Someone
even told me it was a victimless
crime. That was a completely
false statement, the victims in
this case were the taxpayers.
They also tried to justify the il-
judge did not buy it.
Now I am a woman with thick
skin, you have to be to work at
this job. The last straw for me
was when I was at a holiday
event and a man came up to me
and got right in my face, scream-
ing obscenities at me. He then
spent the rest of the evening pho-
tobombing pictures I took and
flipping me off. Quite mature be-
havior for a 70-something man,
if you ask me.
For some reason during one of
his photobombs, I snapped and
started crying. I had to go into the
bathroom to pull myself together.
Those who know me, know that
I rarely cry and don’t cry easily.
Those who have worked for me
know that I am famous for say-
ing, “There is no crying in news-
papers.” Sometimes incidents
like this manifest into a beast that
becomes unmanageable. That
was exactly what happened here.
This incident happened about
10 or 12 years ago. But in the
current climate of this country,
do know that encouraging vio-
lence against journalists, or any-
one for that matter, is a sign of
our times in 2018. We no longer
are able to see past the rhetoric
and nonsense spewed by people
like Milo Yiannopoulos, who
days before this shooting called
for reporters to be gunned down.
Putting doubt in the media,
is one of the steps of creating
a fascist government. I am not
saying all news is credible, but
nine times out of 10 it is spot on.
Certainly, there are unscrupulous
journalists and “news” agencies,
but for the most part, journalistic
integrity is alive and well in the
United States.
I love the United States and
I love being a journalist, but I
fear that one day if we do not get
our society in check, reporters
will be beheaded in the streets
simply for trying to inform the
American people. Just like the
Middle East.

Glimmers of Climate Hope New Independence Day

BY KERMIT HOVEY
Guest Column
Glimmers
of Climate
Hope New
Indepen-
dence Day
In the
shadow
of the tra-
ditional
Independence Day during this
Fourth of July holiday week, we
can look around and see glim-
mers of hope for a new Inde-
pendence Day. A coming day of
independence from dirty fossil
fuels. Independence and free-
dom from the destroyed forests
and toxic festering pools caused
by drilling, digging, tunnel-
ing and transporting slimy oil,
sticky tar sands, and sulfurous
coal. Independence and free-
dom from the wheezing asthma
and coughing black lung of
polluted air, from the dying fish
and debilitated children of con-
taminated water and from the
climate disruption of CO2 and
other greenhouse gases.
We aren’t at this new Inde-
pendence Day yet. Yet, looking
back to June alone, promis-
ing glimmers of climate hope
abound.
For one, the Wisconsin State
Journal editorial on June 24
posed the sort of vision and
leadership needed to address
the climate change crisis. By
calling for bold governmental
action in general and endorsing
a carbon fee and dividend plan
in particular they point the way
forward to a new Independence
Day.
Regrettably, such leadership
and vision are sorely lacking
from the Republican president
and the political leadership
of the US government in his
thrall. Fortunately, we may yet
see independence from toxic
partisanship and the freedom
of aisle-crossing federal action
that begins to match the scale of
the climate crisis.
Another glimmer comes from
movement in Washington, DC.
The House of Representatives’
bi-partisan Climate Solutions
Caucus, just days ago reached
84 members–42 Democrats and
42 Republicans, almost 20 per-
cent of that body. With nudging
and encouragement from us,
their constituents, Congress
may yet adopt and implement
an effective Carbon Fee and
Dividend plan.
In the meantime, local gov-
ernments glimmer with hope
as they grapple mightily with
climate change and the extreme
weather it brings. Dane County
through its Council on Climate
Change seeks to find and im-
plement equitable strategies
and tactics to shift away from
fossil fuels.
At the municipal level per-
sistent work yielded progress
in late June. Madison’s council
considered a resolution adopt-
ing a renewable energy strategy
and Middleton’s Sustainability
Committee recommended its
“Resolution to Address Global
Warming Through Clean En-
ergy” for approval at the July
17 common council meeting
(show up to show your support
at 7:30 pm).
You may not have been one
of the many individuals glim-
mering early last month in
Washington DC at the Citizens’
Climate Lobby Annual Con-
ference. Dozens of volunteers
from Wisconsin and nearly
1400 from around the globe at-
tended. Most of those met with
senators, representatives and
their staffs to advocate for a cli-
mate protecting revenue neutral
carbon fee and dividend plan.
You may not have even been
one of the many individuals
glimmering that same week
in Custer, at the Midwest Re-
newable Energy Association
Annual Energy Conference.
People came to learn, teach, en-
courage and network to move
our world from dirty fossil fuels
to clean renewable energy.
Nevertheless, you can en-
courage this movement toward
freedom and independence.
Your actions can add to glim-
mers of climate hope. You can
help, as CCL puts it, “build
the political will for a livable
world.” Contact your govern-
ment officials at the national,
state and local levels. Let them
know you want freedom and
independence from the de-
structive consequences of fos-
sil fuels. By acting together,
we can support such a world
locally and we can embolden
action toward such a world na-
tionally.

Blood Needed in Summer Months
Dear Editor:
Do you donate blood? Did you know according to the American
Red Cross an estimated 38 percent of the population is eligible
to give blood but only about 8 percent of those eligible actually
donate? Why is that? The need is constant. With summer holidays,
vacations, and fewer school blood drives, July is an especially dif-
ficult time to collect enough blood to meet the
needs of patients.
When an emergency happens, it’s the blood already on the
shelves that helps safe lives. Midland United Methodist Church,
in Mazomanie, is going into rotation with the EMS and Wisconsin
Heights High School to offer another opportunity to donate blood.
A person may donate every 54 days. Midland’s blood drive is July
7 from 7 a.m.-11am. You may sign-up by calling 1-800-733-2767
or visit redcrossblood.org. Use sponsor code Mazomanie. Child
Care will be provided! The Red Cross is offering free exclusive
Red Cross T-Shirts to donors, while supplies last.
Are you ineligible to give blood? Do you have a fear of needles,
also called trypanophobia? Maybe you just want to come check it
out. You are invited to join us to come out to Midland for a cup of
coffee, treats, and fellowship.
Your donation is needed now to ensure doctors and hospitals
have what they need on the shelves for patients this summer.

Cross Plains Village Board Discusses Projects, Eminent Domain
BY BRENDA SCHULTZ
Times-Tribune
CROSS PLAINS–Although
the seller and buyer are in
agreement, The Village of
Cross Plains Board approved
the authorization of Cross
Plains Village Attorney Paul
Johnson to begin eminent do-
main procedures for a needed
right-of-way located at 2511
Church Street due to a diffi-
cult mortgage lender. Filing
for eminent domain will cost
the village an extra $3500 “that
it wouldn’t otherwise need to
spend.” according to village at-
torney Paul Johnson.
The Internet-based lender
has given the landowners “a
list of requirements that they
cannot meet.” he stated. The
amount of land needed is only
340 square feet. Eminent do-
main procedures involve the
right of a government or its
agent to expropriate private
property for public use, with
payment of compensation. The
village has offered $16 /square
foot. The landowner is entitled
to an appraisal for which the
village pays.
The village board approved
the expansion for the Ice Age
Trail Alliance building as rec-
ommended by the Plan Com-
mission. They will expand by

over the parking lot. No parking

for $507,000. The latter is
needed for cash flow during the
County Highway P reconstruc-

St. Francis Xavier School to
Receive Wisconsin DOJ Grant
MADISON–Attorney Gen-
eral Brad Schimel today last
week that St. Francis Xavier
School in Cross Plains would
be one of the recipients of
a grant aimed at improving
school safety. The grants went
to 147 schools and school dis-
tricts around the state in an on-
going program offered through
the Wisconsin Department of
Justice School Safety Grant
program and administered by
DOJ’s Office of School Safety.
St. Francis Xavier
will receive $18,998 of
the$10,253,487, which will be
used to upgrade security cam-
eras and the intercom system.
The grants must be used on on
building safety improvements,
as well as training for faculty
and staff. More grants will be
awarded soon. A list of all 735
schools and school districts that
have requested grant funds is
available on the DOJ website.
“The DOJ Office of School
Safety is moving fast to award
school safety grants,” said At-
torney General Schimel. “The
nearly $10 million grants being
awarded to large and small
schools across the state, incen-
tivizes school officials and law
enforcement to make meaning-
ful improvements to Wisconsin
school safety through physi-

Grant dollars are divided into
two categories: The Primary

Tumbledown Trails Golf Course Celebrates 25 Years
BY MICHELLE PHILLIPS
Times-Tribune
VERONA–James Watts
owned a landscaping and exca-
vating company in the area for
years, but his true dream was to
build and operate a golf course.
In 1993, Watts set the wheels
in motion and began convert-
ing a sod farm he used for the
landscaping business into what
would be known as Tumble-
down Trails Golf Course. This
year the course turns 25 years
old.
James’s son Marc now runs
the 18-hole course located on
Mineral Point Road. He said
his father kept accumulating
small pieces of land until he
had enough to build the course.
“This was a sod field and he
decided since he had all this
land, ‘I’m gonna build a golf
course.’” Marc said. “He ran it
10 years before he died and left
it to his kids.”
The course became a true
family business, Marc added,
and said most of his family has
worked at the course. That in-
cludes his cousins, uncles, and
grandfather as well as his im-
mediate family. “My family all

got to do this with our dad. We
were able to spend quality time
with him,” Marc recalled.
The 135-acre, public golf
course was built entirely from
scratch and Marc remembers
planting the now mature trees
that cover the course. That lon-
gevity and family feel is what
he says have brought custom-
ers back to the links generation
after generation. “I have cus-
tomers that remember coming
out here with their grandpar-
ents.”
Brock Emden is one of those
customers, and on a drizzling,
overcast day, he showed up
to play a round of golf with a
friend. Brock stated, “I grew up
in the area playing this course
with my grandpa. I even took
junior lessons here.”
The 29-year-old added that
he has been coming to the
course since the age of five. He
said he plays about once a week
and holds the lowest score for
the course, 62.
“We treat everyone who
comes through these doors like
they are family. You treat them
like family, and they’ll come
back,” said Marc.

Middleton’s ‘Best of the best’
It was another sensation-
al year for the sports teams
at Middleton High School,
where the Cardinals remained
a model of consistency both in
the Big Eight Conference and
across the state.
Of course, some achieve-
ments rank as the best of the
best. Here’s one person’s opin-
ion of that list.

Caleb Easton crunched the
numbers in his head.

As Middleton’s boys cross
country standout totaled
the results from the WIAA
Division 1 state meet, Easton
figured the Cardinals would
be exiting Ridges Golf Course
in Wisconsin Rapids with a
championship trophy.
It wasn’t until those results
were officially posted, though,
that Easton and his teammates
could breath a giant sigh of
relief.
Sports
“I think really the highlight
was when we saw the scores
and saw that we won,” Easton
said. “It was just a great time.”
And a great performance.
Middleton finished with
just 76 points to easily outdis-
tance runner-up Stevens Point
(177). South Milwaukee (191),
Monona Grove (197) and Sun
Prairie (203) rounded out the
top-five.
Middleton won its first
state title since 1992. And
the Cardinals’ 101-point mar-
gin of victory was the largest
in state history at any level.

had finished we had won and
that there was some distance,”
Middleton coach Brian Finnel
said. “So we were all smiles
and feeling confident.
“But when that scoreboard
showed SPASH was second
and that we were first, we all
were going nuts. There was a
large contingency of Middleton
fans there and that was pretty
darn cool to see lots of people
cheering.”
There was a lot to cheer
about.
Easton was fourth individ-
ually among runners that had
teams at state. Easton finished
the hilly, challenging three-
mile course in 16 minutes, 2.01
seconds.
Junior Michael Madoch
was sixth in 16:06.06, while
senior Caleb Easton finished
seventh (16:07.47). Senior
Jack Rader battled through
an Achilles’ injury and fin-
ished 21st (16:39.16) and
sophomore Zach Leffel was
38th (16:48.69).
“Our depth is, simply put,
sensational,” Finnel said.
“Terrific guys who work very
hard. It was an amazing day for
our program.”
Added Rader: “When they
did the countdown on the big
board, it was just magical. That
image is so fresh in my mind,
it was just awesome. Honestly,
there’s no better way to go out
than this.”
Honorable mention:
Swimming (second at state),
volleyball (state quarterfinals),
golf (sixth at state)
Coach of the Year:
Brian Finnel, cross
country
Brian Finnel wanted a state
championship.
Middleton’s boys cross
country coach got exactly that,
when the Cardinals won a state
title in October. Then Finnel
— and Middleton’s entire pro-
gram — got a little bit more.
Finnel was named
Wisconsin’s Coach of the Year
by the U.S. Track & Field
and Cross Country Coaches
Association (USTFCCCA).
One boys’ coach and one
girls’ coach from each of the
50 states and the District of
Columbia were honored for
their successes during the fall
of 2017, as selected by a com-
mittee of experts from around
the nation. Dodgeland’s Barry
Smanz was the girls’ winner in
Wisconsin.
“I feel very honored to be

recognized as the Wisconsin
Boys Coach of the Year and
it’s neat to be considered for
US Coach of the Year,” Finnel
said. “Much of the credit of
course goes to the boys, who
had a magnificent year.”
Finnel, in his just his second
season as Middleton’s head
coach, guided the Cardinals
to their first state title since
1992. Middleton finished with
76 points to easily outdistance
runner-up Stevens Point (177).
Middleton’s 101-point margin
of victory was the largest in
state history at any level.
Coach of the Year winners
were selected based on their
teams’ performances through-
out the 2017 cross country sea-
son. Among the factors taken
into consideration were team
score and placement at the state
championships, margin of vic-
tory, performance against rank-
ings if available, individual
championships, and how their
teams’ performances stacked
up to previous years (e.g. first
title in school history, consec-
utive titles, etc.).
“The guys really have
embraced what it means to
‘work hard’ and are seeing big
dividends from it,” Finnel said.
“I’m hopeful our younger guys
see what the upperclassmen
have accomplished and make it
their mission to keep the amaz-
ing things going for our cross
country program.”
Honorable mention: Ben
White (volleyball), Sam Niesen
(swimming), Tom Cabalka
(golf), Tom Schmitt (baseball)
Senior Athlete of the
Year: Alan Roden,
baseball/basketball
Roden had a memorable
senior season in baseball and
will be remembered as one the
Cardinals’ all-time greats in
that sport.
Roden batted .465, had an
on-base percentage of .556, a
slugging percentage of .721
and a remarkable OPS (on-base
plus sulgging) of 1.276.
Roden had 28 RBI, 40 hits,
14 doubles and three triples.
He also scored 31 runs, had
11 stolen bases and struck out
just twice.
Roden was named first-team
all-state and was the runner-up
for Big Eight Conference
Player of the Year.
Roden also helped power
Middleton to its first Big Eight
Conference title since 2010.

Brian Finnel (top) was named the Middleton’s Times-Tribune’s ‘Coach of the Year’ after leading the Cardinals to a state cham-
pionship in cross country, while Alan Roden (above) was the MTT’s ‘Senior Athlete of the Year.’
THURSDAY, JULY 5, 2018 TIMES-TRIBUNE PAGE 13
BEST
Roden, a catcher his first three
seasons, moved to shortstop
this year and had arguably his
best season as a Cardinal.
“This is huge for me and
huge for the team,” Roden said
of winning the conference.
“I feel great right now, being
able to win my first conference
championship. It’s really great
to get it with the guys I’ve been
growing up with my whole life.
It’s a good group. It’s your
guys. This is everyone. It’s all
of us.”
The 6-foot Roden was also
the ultimate glue guy on the
basketball court and earned
honorable-mention all-confer-
ence honors.
Roden was a defensive stop-
per and someone who made all
of his teammates better. Roden
finished with a team-leading
7.2 rebounds per game and was
second on the team in scoring
(8.6).
“The way he plays the
game often goes unnoticed,”
Middleton coach Kevin Bavery
said. “But the Big Eight coach-
es recognized his ability to
rebound, defend and lead in
awarding him an honorable
mention all-conference.
“Alan was one of the sur-
prise performers in the Big
Eight this season. I’m always
putting it in our underclass-
men’s minds ‘Who is going to
be next season’s Alan Roden?’
He was that special for us this
year.”
Performance of the
Year: Derek Waleffe,
soccer
Waleffe, a senior forward,
had a year to remember with 45
goals, 13 assists and a remark-
able 103 points. Waleffe’s
sensational season earned him
first-team all-state honors.
But in a year filled with
memorable moments, none
were bigger that Waleffe’s
six-goal effort against Lake
Geneva Badger on Oct. 19.
Waleffe also had an assist that
night and finished with an
eye-popping 13 points.
Waleffe also had two games
where he scored four points
and six games with three goals.
“Derek Waleffe had already
proven he was a premier goal
scorer, but he had only done
that in Braden Allen’s shad-
ow,” Middleton coach Ben
Kollasch said, referring to 2016
star Braden Allen. “Derek is
now casting his own shadow.”
Breakthrough Athlete
of the Year: Bryce
Carey, football/hock-
ey
Carey was Middleton’s
leading receiver during football
season with 24 receptions for
268 yards and two touchdowns.
“He’s a true quarterback,”

Middleton coach Tim Simon
said of Carey. “But he made
the switch to wide receiver to
help team.”
Carey then finished third on
the hockey team in total points
with 17. Carey tied for second
on the team with 12 assists and
added five goals.
Comeback Athlete
of the Year: Brogan
Brunker, football/
basketball
Brunker might be
Middleton’s comeback athlete
of the decade — or even the
century for that matter.
Brunker was struck with
Lemierre’s syndrome in the
summer of 2016, a disease that
affects just 1-in-1,000,000 peo-
ple and has a mortality rate
between 4 and 12%. Brunker
survived a procedure in which
his heart had to be re-started
and doctor’s gave him a 25%
chance to live.
The disease took away
Brunker’s 2016 football sea-
son. And even though he
returned for some of the bas-
ketball season last winter, he
was still recovering and was
never close to 100%.
Brunker was fully recovered
for the start of football season
last fall. But in a preseason

several bones in his hand and
missed almost all of the 2017
football season.
Brunker was healthy for this
basketball season, though, and
put together his most memo-
rable athletic achievements at
MHS.
Brunker was named first-
team all-Big Eight in basket-
ball after leading the Cardinals
in scoring at 18.1 points per
game. He also scored in double
figures in 20 of the 21 games
he played.
Brunker was also second on
the team in rebounding (4.6),
shot 55% from the field, 41%
from three-point range, 74%
from the free throw line and
averaged 2.2 assists per game.
“This was one of the best
years of my life,” Brunker said.
“I don’t really have anything to
say except it was so much fun.”
Middleton coach Kevin Bavery
was glad to see Brunker exit
on a high.
“Brogan will clearly be
missed, but more so for his
journey off the court and his
leadership and attitude on the

court than for his ability as a
player,” Bavery said. “Don’t
get me wrong, you can’t
replace 18 points per game. But
his genuine approach to hard
work and intense effort along
with a calming and accepting
demeanor to his teammates
was something special.”

Arrowhead has been a state
power in most sports — includ-

years now. The Warhawks won
a Division 1 state title in 2010,
then reached the state finals in
2017 before losing to Stevens
Point.
The 2018 Warhawks

In addition to Brunker’s 18
points, he added five rebounds

Senior wing Davis Roquet

Roden guarded the ball the
length of the court. Arrowhead
ran a nifty play where the

Roden stayed in front of the

that went long and deep off the
back and side of the rim.
