Things havent gone as initially planned for the project, but city leader see encouraging signs
by MATT GEIGER
Times-Tribune

In what city administrator


Mike Davis called great news
in a memo to local government
leaders, it appears new life
might eventually be breathed
into the long-languishing medical campus development on

Residents

development

Parmenter Street.
It may take some time for
this collaboration to take root,
but it bodes well for the Meriter
site in Middleton, Davis
added. Davis said city staff had
a very productive meeting
with representatives from UnityPoint Health-Meriter last
week.

At a joint meeting in early


2011, the Middleton City Council and the Middleton Plan
Commission granted conceptual
approval to the scope of the
project and Meriter Health
Services request for $9 million
in public assistance. That development agreement depicted five
phases of development, each

with a different city obligation.


The city then embarked on a
sometimes-harrowing quest to
relocate its existing public
works garage away from the
land, finally opting to build at a
Department Of Transportation
Park and Ride facility to the
north. That new city public
works garage and municipal op-

erations center opened last year


and came with a price tag of approximately $11.5 million.
But the Meriter medical campus that prompted the city to
move its garage never materialized.
When the medical campus
was first announced five years
ago, Meriter representatives de-

scribed the development as a


public/private partnership between the non-profit healthcare
provider and the city. The campus as proposed would come to
fruition over a 20-year build-out
period, they said.
Proponents said it would create 50 times more taxable value

The City of Middleton Plan


Commission last week recommended the common council
approve rezoning and a developer-financed tax increment financing (TIF) request for
$1,474,427 for laser printer
parts remanufacturing and distribution company Laser Express. Residents from the
abutting Highwood Circle Estates neighborhood expressed
concerns to the plan commission regarding truck traffic, pollution and safety.
Laser Express runs its current
operation on Madisons south
side but is proposing moving its
location into Middleton north of
the Lexus dealer on Airport
Road and west of the Beltline.

The Experience Truck came to Middleton June 23-26, showing visitors what life is like
in some of the worlds most fragile and vulnerable communities.
The Experience Truck is
touring the country to bring
national news headlines to
life, raising awareness about
sex trafficking, refugees, and
child protection in the
worlds most fragile and vulnerable places. The truck
came
to
Asbury
United Methodist Church, located at 6101 University Ave.
in the City of Middleton, June
23-26.

Visitors to the Experience


stepped into a global village inside a tractor trailer in
the church parking lot. They
donned headsets and walked
through an inspiring 20minute journey with four
people from around the
world: Reshma, Ali, Moses,
and Junior. They walked into
the heart of some of the most
pressing causes of our time:
human
trafficking,
the

refugee crisis, and the protection of vulnerable children.


The true, life-changing stories within the exhibit opened
local eyes to untold stories
going on around the world
and inspired people to make
a difference in the lives of the
most vulnerable children and
families. Tours through the
truck were free. Find out

Students focus on equity, social justice

School board gets update on how students and educators are working together at the high school and beyond
by CAMERON BREN
Times-Tribune

Director of equity and student achievement Percy Brown


and a group of students recently
shared their experiences with
the Middleton-Cross Plains
School Board about the spring
break trip they took to New
York City. English Teacher
Kendra Dando also shared with
the board information about a
new theatre course titled Social Justice Forum that started
this year.
Brown brought along 38 students on a trip to Brooklyn and
the Bronx. They visited the
King Tut exhibit and the 9/11
memorial, Brown says. They
also toured Wall Street and the
New York Stock Exchange.
The trips are intended to extend opportunities to students
who are disengaged, struggling

academically or behaviorally, or
part of a marginalized group.
Brown says this was the fourth
year, but he feels like they are
still only planting the seed.
Brown says most of the students attending the trips have
had some relation to the Student
Voice Union. He says he thinks
that has given them an understanding of social justice. Many
of the students have come to
professional development meetings and spoken to teachers
about social justice issues and
things theyve experienced or
observed.
Whenever we survey our
teachers with the professional
development
opportunities,
they always say the most powerful part of the experience was
hearing from the students, and
the Student Voice Union may
have given them the confidence
and courage to be able to engage in these conversations

with teachers, Brown said.


Being able to sit in front of the
school board and talk about
what their life has been like as
a student of color or as a white
student witnessing things or experiencing their own challenges
because of how the high school
dynamic is set up with cliques,
whether its by socioeconomic
status, sports, certain club and
so forth.
The Student Voice Union
started two years ago, and this
is the fourth year of doing the
trips, Brown says, but I think
this really falls in line with the
districts mission of really becoming an equitable district
where it is really about culture
and climate, where kids feel like
they belong, they have ownership within the Middleton community.
Demond Hill, who graduated
two years ago and has plans to
teach and chaperoned on the

trip, thanked everyone in the


district for becoming more inclusive.
If you continue to do this,
you are going to have more
great students who are advocating for other students and who
are articulating their thoughts,
Hill said. I needed this; I
needed to see others working as
hard as I am.
Brown said more students
have been attending each year,
and he is a little worried next
year there will be more than he
can handle.
Brown said he wants to find
a more secure funding source
and suggested setting up a nonprofit. He says many students
get travel opportunities through
athletics and academics, but a
lot of the students who go on
the trips have never had those
experiences.
Brown added that next year
he would like to visit the south-

west for a trip that focuses on


the Latino experience and history in the country.
School board president Bob
Green said to the students that
they have the ability to change
societal norms because they can
realize whats not working but
arent so used to living with it
they are apathetic.
You are younger than the
people that are up here, your
minds are more flexible, Green
said. As you are going through
these very intense personal experiences, you are able to break
down barriers that you didnt realize exist before and work
through that.
The theater class Social Justice Forum had 23 students in it
who all had a passion for social
justice issues, Dando said. The
students were interviewed before being accepted into the
class, which explored the topics
of justice, equity and race, gen-

der, class and sexuality.


Guest speakers included Dr.
Gloria Ladson-Billings, who is
vice chancellor of academic affairs at UW-Madison and is
known for her groundbreaking
work on race and pedagogy;
Gavin Lawrence, an actor who
recently performed in The Jojo
and the Sayso in Madison and
Milwaukee; Chike Johnson, an
actor who played Othello last
summer at the American Players Theatre in Spring Green;
and members of the First Wave
UW program.
The students wrote a short
play consisting of scenes and
poetry and performed them for
middle school students at Glacier Creek and Kromrey. The
full 27-minute piece was performed at MHS, and is online
on YouTube.com, where you
can also see a video highlighting the New York Trip.

the amount of FTE available.


Love said some part-time
teachers want more hours while
some want less. She said the
district tries to be as flexible as
possible but also asks staff to be
flexible.
We cant promise people if
they have a certain amount of
hours one year they will have
the same the next year, Love
said.
What they can do is share
staff across buildings, she explained. The gives them more
flexibility.
Love says the biggest struggle is getting kids access to
teachers when they need them.
Part-time schedules also make it
challenging for those faculty to

attend staff meetings or be


available for an entire parentteacher conference.
Director of employee services Tabatha Gundrum said conversations with part-time staff
began in February with the goal
of being collaborative. She said
each department was asked if
there were other scenarios that
hadnt been considered regarding the schedule.
Gundrum said that under the
Affordable Care Act, part-time
teachers are eligible for benefits
if they are 75 percent FTE or

more. They can get some benefits for being above 50 percent
but not complete.
Board member Sean Hyland
asked if the district had the option to offer benefits or if it was
mandated in the Affordable
Care Act that they dont. Gundrum said they have some flexibility, but that is the norm in
Dane County and doing otherwise would not be financially
feasible.
Love said the schedule is put
together based on the number of
kids signed up for different sec-

tions.
At the high school level the
kids really drive the entire
staffing and scheduling scenario, Love said.
Johnson said it can be problematic when the hours are
spread throughout the day. He
said most part-timers dont
want to have one morning class
and one afternoon class. He
says it becomes a challenge
when that is the highest demand
for students because it makes
administration have to be either

more accommodating to students or to part-time teachers.


If you try to meet all of the
requests, it often means we
cant offer some classes and
arent doing right by students,
Johnson said. How do we do
what is best for all?
One of the reasons people
come to Middleton is because
of all the choices that they have
and I think that is pretty important in kids designing their future choices and pathways,
Love said.

School board gets staffing update

Director of secondary teaching & learning Laura Love last


week informed the school board
of the current status of part-time
staffing.
She said there are always
challenges to creating the best

part-time teachers and students
needs.
Love said in every content
area the amount of hours available shifts based on the number

LASER

The companys owner, Brian


Faust, says they have 49 employees with annual wages totaling $2.3 million. He says the
Middleton location would have
47 employees and plans to expand.
The new Laser Express site
would be built over three phases
and include two 60,000 squarefoot warehouse buildings and
one 16,560 square foot office
building. The first two phases
would be the warehouses and
the third phases would be the
office building with underground parking.
The conceptual TIF request
approved by the Common
Council for $1,311,738 TIF was
revised to $1,474,427 to assist
with extraordinary costs including lead contamination in
the soil, bedrock removal,
stormwater detention installation, retaining walls and energy
efficiency measures.
Flamur Adili, a resident of
Highwood Circle Estates, said
that not everyone who lives in
the subdivision was informed,
and thought they should be. He
said he was concerned about
truck traffic, light pollution, the
safety of children and well
water. He asked the plan commission to think about whether
it was really the best fit for the
site.
You ask anybody that lives
there, we feel we are the most
fortunate people in Middleton
we have incredible schools,
our kids can run around free
we dont have to worry about
the field there that might be full
of trucks, Adili said. I dont
know what goes into the manufacturing of laser printers, but as
all of us are on well water, is our
water going to be safe?
Faust responded to Adilis
comments by saying that he put
flyers on all the buildings he
was advised to by the city. Assistant city planner Mark Optiz
said the city requires flyers be
put on all houses within 200
feet.

Brian Foust (at the podium) speaks to members of the Middleton Planning Commission.

Faust said he does really care


about how the neighbors feel.
He added that he lives in the
Blackhawk neighborhood and
had concerns when there was
proposed development across
Pleasant View Road.
Faust said he would be happy
to meet with neighbors and explain what the project entails
and what Laser Express is all
about. He said that he expressed
that to the city as well.
Adili asked Faust about what
was planned for the third phase
of development. Faust said it
would be strictly an office
building with no manufacturing.
Faust said his company is
very light manufacturing with
no fumes. The hours of operation are Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. He said
there would be two semi-trucks
per day and a FedEx and UPS
pickup twice a day.
Dan Roekle, also a resident
of Highwood Circle Estates,
asked if the purpose was to rezone from hotel and office to
manufacturing if that would
open the door for other manufacturing.
Opitz said the zoning would
be restricted to light manufacturing, warehousing, research

and office uses. Conditional use


permits would be required for
any sounds or odors out of character for the business park, he
added. Laser Express is not requesting any conditional use
permits.
Another resident, Joan
Carter, asked about the leadcontaminated soil. She asked
how it would be handled and if
there would be dust.
The contractor, Bret Newcomb with Newcomb Construction, said they hired a lead
abatement consultant and a lead
investigator for the DNR. The
DNR said there is an existing
clay cap on the contaminated
soil and if the soil was not disturbed it could be left alone
with a foot of fill or a parking
lot.
Council liaison alderperson
Hans Hilbert said he would vote
against the rezoning because it
was not the best fit for the site
in his view.
I cant support the motion
for this site, I see it as too drastic of a change of the existing
landscape to accommodate
something thats been designed
for a piece of property that wasnt for that purpose, Hilbert
said. It is a field of impervious
surfaces with very little consideration for the natural landscape
thats existed there for a very
long time.

Commission member Jim


Wexler said this was only the
initial approval and the city
could request the developer
make changes through the approval process.
A critical point here is a
planned development district
general implementation plan
gives us a whole lot of control
over what is going to happen
with this property, Wexler said.
Just as the neighbors are concerned, so are we and I think
that gives us the flexibility that
we need to make sure nothing
horrible happens on this property. That is why I would certainly support the rezoning.
Commission member Ed Elskamp said he had concerns
about the size of the retaining
walls, one of them being 20
feet.
Commission member Dennis
Dorn said he felt it was a great
use for the site and likely the
best they would see. He said he
had no problems with the office
building either.
Hilbert raised concerns about
the TIF request as well. He
asked why if there was relatively no new lead rendition to
do why the were requesting
$165,000 to assist with it.
Newcomb said they already
paid $35,000 for the lead investigation and another $35,000 for
a lead consultant. He said

Photo contributed

$105,000 was needed for the


lead cap. Hilbert asked, if the
DNR said soil or a parking lot
was enough of a cap, wouldnt
the $105,000 be for work they

would be doing anyways?


Newcomb said they would
have to do the work with extra
care. Hilbert asked if the value
for the extra care was $105,000.
Newcomb said it absolutely
was.
Hilbert also asked why there
were 12 percent contractor fees
listed numerous times in the
TIF request. Newcomb said
since it is a unique site there are
extra charges. Hilbert asked if
they were going to submit any
justification of what made the
site unique. Newcomb said that
is the work of the developer and
they would have to ask John
Livesey to submit that.
Hilbert said contractor fees
have been put into other TIF requests but there has always
been some documentation that
justifies the expenses.
Motions to approve the rezoning, the plan and the TIF request all passed 4 to 2.

Wall says Brexit was reaction to bureaucracy and regulation


by TERRENCE WALL
Guest Column

Shocked! Thats the reaction


of the so-called experts and political elites in the European
Union and the United Kingdom
to the voters of Britain choosing
to exit the EU. Why is it that
the government class is so surprised each time the common
people choose to throw them
out of power after years of increasing bureaucracy and regulation?
The problem over the last
decade or so is that the government class has grown in such
power and size, especially in
Europe with the growth of the
EU, that in both Europe and the
U.S. the private sector has had
enough; they want to throw the
elites out.
Think of the equation this
way. Taxpayers in Britain not
only have to pay to support the
local, state and national govern-

ments there, but in recent times


they also had to pay ever-increasing taxes to support a massively
increasing
EU
government in Brussels that
hands down dictates, telling
Britons what they can and cannot do.
The same is true in America,
as proven by the rise of Trump;
a private sector candidate with
no government experience.
Americans just dont trust the
government elites anymore and
neither do Britons.
First,
Britons dont want the more
than one million Syrians flooding into their country from Germany, which opened its borders
- but then closed them quickly
thereafter with the massive
flood of dependents. Under EU
rules, those Syrians can travel
freely to Great Britain now as
well.
Second, the taxpayers of Europe have to pay almost $1.5
billion Euros annually to support a fat-cat government in dis-

tant Brussels that as far as they


can see, simply exists to boss
them around. Thats like a double tax - because they have to
support their own national government on top of supporting
the EU.
Third, sure, for a few Britons
who want to work in Germany,
the EU makes it easy, but for the
vast majority of Britons all they
see is higher taxes, more immigrants competing for their jobs,
more newcomers competing for
limited housing, and higher
taxes without any of their problems being solved.
Voters have had it with the
bigger government experiment
of the last seven years. Everything is more difficult; the recovery has taken forever;
incomes are not higher than before the government expansion;
government services are most
definitely not easier - in fact,
government regulation is
greater and the ability to secure
permission to do anything is

more difficult and more onerous


and more regulated than ever
before.
What Americans dont realize is that in Britain, where I
lived and worked for a summer,
there is typically no excess
housing available because of
government controls. Add in
even a small number of unplanned immigrants and you
have a severe lack of housing,
pitting locals against newcomers in a game of housing musical chairs. The problem is once the music stops, someone
doesnt have a place to live.
The three largest land owners in
Britain are the Crown (royalty),
the government, and the church,
leaving very little land for the
people to own in fee simple.
Even houses are owned on land
leases, another form of tax payment to the crown and government.
Thats why the idea of a behind-the-scenes coup to throw
out Trump at the Republican

convention would be a fools errand. The voters spoke, like it


or not, and the political class including career politicians and
consultants - have no right to
defy democracy by engineering
a different nominee like the Democrats artificially engineered
Hillary as their nominee with
super-delegates.
The United Kingdom will be
better off being able to control
its own destiny, control its borders, eliminate the EU taxes,
and set its own course.
Here in the U.S. the situation
is similar; a backlash to government imposed lending restrictions that have stymied the
economic recovery, restricted
job creation, created a severe
housing shortage here in the
U.S., in particular here in Dane
County, and has now created a
permanent dependency class; a
enlarged group of Americans
that live off government transfer
payments rather than supporting
themselves.

Just go up north and count


the number of able-bodied
males who are classified as
disabled - receiving government payments - but are perfectly capable of going out
fishing on their boats and hauling a deer carcass out of the
woods.
In conclusion, this year is one
of those years, like 1980, where
the voters are going to show
their dislike for more government.

How it was to retire in the year 1900

Photo contributed

The Rowley House Museum now has an exhibit featuring writings and photos donated by
Pearl Williams.

This article is an excerpt


from the writings of Pearl
Williams who came with her
mother to the Middleton area in
1896 when she was seven years
old to live with her grandparents after her father died. She
presented her articles to the

Middleton Area Historical Society as a gift. These articles, she


said, are dedicated to all who
wish to know how it was,
When You and I Were Young.

Most village residents were


folks who had lived on farms

and had become too old to do


the hard work any longer.
Many farms then contained 80
or 120 acres and some even as
little as 40 acres. Land sold for
less than $50 per acre so you
paid $4,000 - $5,000 for land
and buildings. Then you had

than currently exists on the land


in question. Skeptics questioned
the impact federal healthcare reform, and a well-publicized
feud with competitors, would
have on the project.
Meriters plan, according to
city documents, was to construct the development on 12.86
acres of land that was previously held by four separate
owners, including the city.
The Meriter campus that was
proposed then would eventually
have included ambulatory services, outpatient surgery, an
emergency department and helipad, general medical facilities
and other services many of
which would be developed to
meet new demands created by
federal healthcare reform,
Meriter representatives said at
the time.
Proponents said the project
would generate up to 200 new

positions with average incomes


of $50,000 to $55,000 annually,
plus benefits. They said the facilities would act as an economic catalyst, that the lands
value would increase by an estimated $80 million over 20
years, and that local residents
would benefit directly from access to nearby medical services.
Plans for the campus began
with informal discussions between Meriter and Middleton
mayor Kurt Sonnentag. Meriter
then held a series of planning
sessions with the Middleton
Area Development Corporation
(MADC).
The project was unveiled to
the public in 2011.
After several delays of the
project, John Lehman, the City
of Middletons then-finance director, said in 2014 that his understanding was that the Meriter
development was still on track

despite an uncertain timeline.


It seems to me the question
is one of when, not if,
Lehman stated.
That was followed by yet another delay.
But now, according to Davis,
the project may once again
move forward, although the nature of the revived project has
not been revealed to the public.
In a message to city leaders
last week, UnityPoint HealthMeriters vice president of business
development,
Todd
Burchill, hinted that two recently-signed letters of intent
could play a role in the projects
fate. He did not provide details
about how drastically the project, if it were to be resurrected,
would change before coming
back to the Middleton City
Council.

auctions to sell the stock and machinery, the latter of limited


kind and amount. Horses and
cows were low in price. A
horse would probably bring
$50 and a cow $25-30. There
was usually some poultry and
pigs, both of which brought in
little money. Thus the farm
might sell for $4,200-5,000
and the auction might add perhaps $800 totaling around $5,000.
Sometimes there was a mortgage to pay off since many of
these people came from European countries and bought the
farms with small down payments, hoping to pay the remainder as the years went by.
However, large profits were not
made with the low prices, so the
mortgage remained. This left
the retiree with very little, out of
which he had to purchase a
home. This would run from
$1,000-1,500 for an old house
here in our village. Usually
these houses needed much repair and, of course, had no more
conveniences than the old farm
house had.
There was no central heating, no electricity, no water or
sewer. The main asset looked
for was a small piece of land for
a garden and a few domestic animals, usually a horse, two
cows, some pigs, and chickens.
The horse was a means of transportation and was also used to
work the land on these small
city farms. The taxes were
low, but the income was almost
nil. There was no social security or pensions then so you

lived on your small savings,


taking some from the principal
each year since the interest was
not sufficient.
The only person I remember
receiving a pension was a Civil
War veteran who lived here, and
he got the stupendous sum of $4
per month.
Folks would fix up the old
houses they bought by doing the
work themselves. Furniture
was kept for a lifetime. The
clothing was kept for years;
the men having one wool suit,
and the women having one wool
dress, and either a coat or shawl
for an outer garment. They
didnt pay any attention to
the style news coming from
Paris. For economic reasons,
they had to wear what they had
as long as it held together. The
motto of folks those years was,
Use it up, wear it out, make it
do, or do without.
However, there were few
places to go. Scarcely anybody
traveled, except by armchair,
and although far away places
might be calling to you, there
was no money to get there.
There were very few social organizationsperhaps Woodman
and Royal Neighbors, Odd Fellow and Rebecca Lodges, but
not everyone belonged. The
churches had no ladies aid or
mens club societies, so you contented yourself at home where,
of course, there was no radio or
television. The men did play
cards once a month perhaps
but women didnt. Women

Health, Physicians Plus Insurance Corp., Unity Health Plans

formal decision to explore pos-

might meet once or twice a year


at someones home for a Kaffee Klatsch. Some never did.
Retiring those days didnt
mean a complete absence of
work. The men still had the
usual chores of their small
city farm and the women,
of course, had all their usual
housework, which some might
argue was no less than when
all the members of the family
had lived at home. However,
children always did a fair share
but now she was alone. She had
to get the meals beginning
from scratch and put ingredients together for a tasty repast.
Cooking soup required at
least half a day. After putting
a piece of meat on to cook, she
would go to the cellar to get carrots and parsnips, which had
been stored in sand since last
falls harvest. Dry onions were
also stored for winter use. Then
if she wanted noodles, she
mixed them and rolled them to
dry for a couple of hours before
adding them to the soup.
Things didnt come ready to use
then as they do now. The result
was very appetizing and you
always knew just what you
were eating.
Most of the retirees of 1900
had very little of this worlds
goods, but seemed to take
kindly to what their age
brought and gracefully surrendered the things of their youth
not trying to hold back the years
by dress or actions.

sible opportunities for collaboration between our organizations through two non-binding
letters of intent, Burchill
wrote. As a partner of our or-

ganizations, we wanted you to


be among the first to know.
The first letter of intent outlines a potential collaboration
between UnityPoint Health
Meriter and UW Health. The
second describes a possible
combination of Physicians Plus
Insurance Corp. with Unity
Health Plans Insurance Corp.
and Gundersen Health Plan,
which recently combined.
These letters of intent are
just the first step in a larger,
complex process, explained
Burchill, who added that they
simply allow our organizations
to explore in greater detail how
we could work together to benefit those we serve.
In no way do they represent
definitive action, he continued.
If we decide moving forward
is in our collective best interest,
we hope to conclude all necessary steps in 2017.

Give a gift they can open one day, and keep on getting all year long!

Middletons HTL team improves to 11-0


by DENNIS SEMRAU
For the Times-Tribune

BLACK EARTH When


left-hander Jeff Schafer is on the
mound, good things usually happen for the Middleton 29ers.
That was the case for the second time this season against the
rival Black Earth Bombers last
Friday night.
Schafer pitched seven strong
innings to help Middleton
remain unbeaten with a 7-4 victory over the Bombers in a
Home Talent League Northern
Section Eastern Division baseball game at Jerry Barsness
Field.
Middleton also defeated
Wisconsin Dells, 18-0, on
Sunday and improved to 11-0 on
the season. The 29ers now have
a three-game lead in the loss column over both Black Earth (9-3)
and Ashton (7-3).
Middleton upended the
Bombers behind Schafers stellar outing, strong defense and
some timely hitting.
As always, our defense is so
good, so you want to make them
put the ball in play, said the 51year-old Schafer, who allowed
only two base runners past second base and was the recipient
of three double plays.
The Bombers managed just
four hits, including one for extra
bases, against Schafer, who

tossed 87 pitches including 55


for strikes.
I was effective against righthanders with my cutter. It was
really moving the ball inside, so
I was able to get right-handers to
ground out, Schafer said.
Against lefties, I was able to
keep it on their hands. When
youre able to get lefties in and
righties in, youll a lot of ground
balls.
Schafer got 13 ground ball
outs, but it was a sliding catch
by Andrew Zimmerman in shallow right field which ended the
Black Earth third inning that
provided a lift for the 29ers.
Middleton took a 2-0 lead in
the fourth inning that it never
lost.
A.J. Redders drew a leadoff
walk and Cole Cook followed
with a sharp single to left field.
Following a sacrifice by Drew
Farrell, Zimmerman cleared the
bases with a booming double to
center field.
Isnt that the way it always
goes, somebody makes a great
play and then you come to bat
and make a play, Schafer said
of Zimmerman, who finished
with two hits.
Zimmerman said he was just
trying to provide a spark after
Middleton stranded five runners
in the first three innings, including three in scoring position.
He got up on me early with
two strikes, but left a fastball up

over the plate and I just sent it


right back up the middle,
Zimmerman said of Black Earth
right-hander Myles Potuznik,
who was in trouble from the
start and allowed six hits and
issued seven walks in five-plus
innings.
Black Earth trimmed its
deficit to 2-1 in the bottom of the
fourth after Curtis Barsness
ripped a lead-off double down
the left field line and promptly
scored when Bryce Barsness
lined a single to center.
But
Schafer
induced
Potuznik to bounce into a 5-4-3
double play and then got Marcus
Caminiti to ground out to end
the threat.
I thought we left a ton of
runners on early, but were just
resilient. We just keep going,
Schafer said of the 29ers, who
stranded 13 base runners. I
knew if I got a couple of runs
early as good as my arm felt that
we were going to be fine. We got
a couple of runs early, so I could
just throw my game and it
worked out.
Middleton also turned double
plays in the second and sixth
innings to stymie the Bombers.
He does such a good job of
not letting them make hard contact, said 29ers second baseman Luke Schafer, who admitted he enjoys playing defense
when his father is on the mound.
The ground balls youre getting

over the weekend.

are on pitches they are reaching


out after. Thats awesome for an
infielder.
You know that youre going
to be able to get time to get
around it and make the play. I
just love it. Its an infielders
dream to have him pitch the way
he goes in and out, locationwise. When hes as crisp as he
was tonight, its awesome.
Middleton made it 4-1 in the
sixth after Zimmerman led off
with a single down the rightfield line, moved to third on
Brandon Scheidlers double to
left and scored on Luke
Schafers single to center. Josh
Hinson plated Scheidler one out
later with a sacrifice fly to left.
Scheidler and Luke Schafer
combined to reach base in eight
of their 12 plate appearances,
including five base hits, to set
the table for the victory.
Theyve done it all year.
Game in and game out theyve

been on base and thats why they


are in the position that they are,
Middleton manager Brandon
Hellenbrand said of the 29ers
top two hitters in the batting
order. Thats why we have the
record that we do. They drive us.
Once again tonight, they did the
same thing. They got on base
and we made things happen.
Scheidler and Luke Schafer
sparked a three-run outburst in
the top of the eighth inning that
provided enough cushion to
keep Black Earth at bay.
Middleton loaded the bases
when Scheidler lined a lead-off
double to left, Schafer walked
and Kevin Dubler singled to
right field. After Hinson lined
out to reliever Rob Capener,
Scheidler scored on an infield
error. A.J. Redders then drew a
walk to score Schafer, and Cook
bounced into a fielders choice
to plate Dubler.
With Luke and me at the

top, I dont think youre going to


find a better combination than
that, Scheidler said of the
29ers one-two punch. It comes
down to taking patient
approaches and working the
count and getting on.
The insurance runs proved to
be necessary when Black Earth
pulled within 7-4 in its half of
the eighth.
Caminiti drew a base-loaded
walk against reliever Drew
Farrell, Curtis Barsness scored
on a wild pitch, and Josh
Lobenstein delivered an RBI
single to give the Bombers hope.
But Farrell struck out Ryan
Hering on three pitches to end
the inning and retired Black
Earth in order in the ninth to seal
the victory.
Bombers player/manager
Eric Duhr, whose pinch-hit single jump-started the Bombers

1,600- and 3,200-meter runs.


Hagge won the 1,600-meter
run at state, was second in the
3,200 and fourth in the 800.
Perrin had a truly unbelievable season and capped it all
off by proving he is the top distance runner in the state,
Middleton coach Joe Line said.
He scored over half the points
at the state meet for his team
and broke two school records
in the process.
It was exciting watching
him all season and an honor to
have him on the team and our
captain. I dont believe I have
to words to explain how truly
remarkable he is.
Newcombe earned all-state
honors in the 1,600- and 3,200meter runs, while Jesse was
named all-state in the long
jump.
Newcomb was third at state
in the 1,600 and fourth in the
3,200, while Jesse was fifth in
the long jump.

Gus is also an amazing athlete, Line said. He is right


behind Perrin in every race and
is easily the guy to watch next
year. He will be a great leader
and the face of the distance
program next year.
Valentine was named allstate in the 800- and 1,600meter runs, while Smith was
named all-state in the 100meter hurdles.
Valentine finished second at
state in the 800- and 1,600meter runs, while Smith was
second in the 100-meter hurdles.
Lauren and Sam are very
gifted and special athletes,
Middleton girls coach Cory
Christnovich said. Both are
tremendous competitors that
will be greatly missed, not only
for their track contributions,
but also for their leadership and
dedication to the team.

Douglas led a young group
of defenders and helped
Middleton allow just six goals
in nine conference games.
The thing we wanted Grace
to work on was her leadership
on the field, and this is an area
that she learned to dominate as
the season went through,
Middleton coach Mary Duffy
said. She led with humor,
strength, hard work, grit and
passion.
Reikersdorfer had a stellar

It was hard for others to
understand that she was playing midfield most of the sea-

son, especially with her numbers from last year as a forward


in only half of our games,
Duffy said of Reikersdorfer.

But most of her attacking creativity was through passing in


the midfield and receiving a
ball back to attack and score.

rally in the eighth inning, said
Jeff Schafers mastery over his
club was difficult to explain.
Schafer tossed a seveninning, complete-game in a 12-1
Middleton victory over Black
Earth on May 30 in a game
called by the 10-run mercy rule.
Once again, all you can do
is tip your cap to him. There is
something about him that we
struggle against him, Duhr
said. I dont know what it is. I
try to tell our guys to wait back

and we struggle to do that


against him. All the credit goes
to him. Hes a great pitcher.
Bryce Barsness said it came
down to Schafers savvy on the
mound.
He is one of those pitchers
where you can see it, but trying
to react to it is tough. Hes been
around the game a long time so
he knows how to pitch,
Barsness said. There are a lot of
throwers in this league but hes
definitely a pitcher.
