Annual report shows the crime rate fell for the third year in a row
by MATT GEIGER
Times-Tribune
The crime rate continues to drop in

the City of Middleton, but the widespread impact of heroin addiction continues to tear apart lives and challenge
those working to curb the drugs
spread.
According to the Middleton Police
Departments annual report, the overall
crime rate fell for the third year in a
row in 2015. In addition, local police
worked to integrate their racial equity
efforts into everyday practices on the
street.
In 2015, the Middleton Police Department began a comprehensive review of arrest statistics, policies and
procedures which disproportionately
affect minorities and people of poverty,
the fine/deposit structure in Municipal
Court, incarceration policies, outreach
efforts in the minority community, use
of force and officer training, wrote
chief of police Chuck Foulke in the reports instruction. I am pleased toreportthat Police Department employees
have embraced this introspection and
have worked to change and adapt to
21st Century police practices in training, policy revision, use of force, patrol
priorities and interactions with the people of our community.
Concerns over the disproportionate
effect traffic stops and citations have
on members of minority communities
and people of poverty caused a significant change in how local police dealt
with the community, Foulke explained.
Because of this, we focused on primary traffic violations that endanger
other drivers and pedestrians and encouraged officers not to issue multiple
citations during traffic contacts, he
continued. Im pleased toreportthat

our traffic crash statistics decreased in
2015 compared to previous years, but
our traffic warnings increased 245 percent, jumping from 936 in 2014 to
3,817 in 2015. We are measuring our
officers success by the number of citizen contacts they have - many of
which are positive, proactive encounters - not the number of traffic citations
or arrests they make.
There was a 23 percent decrease in
reportedcrimein 2013 over 2012, a 16
percent decrease incrimein 2014 over
2013, and a 5 percent decrease

But there was an increase in armed
robberies and thefts from vehicles.
[M]uch of this increase is attributed to
heroin use, Foulke said.
Calls for service increased 23 percent over the previous year.
The departments call center answered 89 percent of 911 calls within

City planner and Middleton resident Mark Opitz captured this soggy image caused by
one of several rainstorms in the community last week. The water you see is the result of
the South Fork of Pheasant Branch Creek overflowing its banks in the Discovery Springs
business park, Opitz explained. The South Fork drains pretty much the area between
the Beltline and Pleasant View Road south to Mineral Point Road in Madison. The photo

Dear editor,
The torrential rains and related weather challenges of

Thursday, July 21 proved too
powerful for the steel and concrete near the entrance to the
REACH-A-Child warehouse.
Nearly 12 inches of water raced
through our space, damaging an
estimated 20,000 books, a significant number of our First Responder bags and a huge
quantity of the drawstring

backpacks meant for childrenin-crisis.
Staff, spouses and friends
spent
many
hours on
Friday moving undamaged
books to a dry location and with much sadness - piling up
the lost books for removal.
Thanks to coverage from
three local television stations
and active social media engagement, we have received a won-

and offers of assistance. Some
of that assistance will be leveraged to move the remaining
books back to a temperaturecontrolled environment in the
next few days.
The financial assistance we
are receiving will be used immediately to restock our supply
of officer bags and childrens
backpacks. Numerous individuals and businesses have
pledged to help replenish our

book inventory and for that we
are more than grateful!
Please know that our greatest
need in the near term is the
funding for the officer bags and

Council approves parking plan

PAGE 3

City planning director Eileen Kelley (at podium) speaks to the Middleton City Council last week.
by CAMERON BREN
Times-Tribune
A parking management plan

for the major downtown redevelopment project known as
Middleton Center has been approved by the city council.
The approval was the final
requirement developer T. Wall
Enterprises needed to meet to
receive the building permit and
start construction.
The parking plan approval
only covers the first of the three
phases of development and will
need to be re-approved for subsequent phases.
The Middleton Center development will densify the downtown with an already approved
seven mixed-use buildings including 205 residential units
and 62,000 square feet of commercial and office space. Since
the project was proposed many
downtown residents and businesses have raised concerns
about available parking.
The developers initial proposal fell far short of the required number of spaces by the
citys ordinance. Terrence Wall
said the ordinance was outdated
and should be revised. He suggested that shared parking between residents and businesses
along with shared vehicles,
rental bikes, discounted rents
for residents with one or no car,
and offering residents bus
passes, would be enough.
Wall said he has done his
own research and found that
there was always a surplus of
parking at the Old Middleton
Center, however, the city required Wall to hire a parking

consultant to issue a report to
the city.
Walker parking consultants
essentially confirmed Walls
claims reporting there to be an
overall surplus of parking in the
downtown. The consultants said
there was only an issue of appearance and awareness of
available parking.
To meet the city ordinance
Walker recommended Wall
lease 40 off-site parking stalls
and install car lifts in the underground parking in the first
phase of development.
Alder Kathy Olson asked
how the city could enforce
Walls leasing of off-site. City
planning director Eileen Kelley
said until a copy of a written
lease for off-site parking was
provided the building permit
will not be issued.
Olson then asked how the
shared car would be managed.
Kelley explained that Wall
planned to purchase and manage the community cars on his
own instead of using a service
like Zipcar. Kelley said the city
will have to follow up each year
to ensure the system is working
out.
I just have this sinking feeling that we are setting ourselves
up for failure on this parking
issue, said alder Howard Teal.
I just cannot get a grasp on
how you are going to tell people
to go park over there.
Teal said he doesnt think
having off-site parking means it
will be used.
When it is five below zero
and they want to go to a shop or

restaurant downtown they are
going to park their BMW as
close as they can get to the
building, Teal said. It just
doesnt work.
City administrator Mike
Davis told alder Teal: It is
going to require people to walk
two more minutes to work or a
restaurant.
Alder Briana Porter said in
her experience working in retail
it was typical for employers to
require employees to park in
certain places and not hard to
enforce.
Davis suggested the city
ramp up parking enforcement,
pointing out that current enforcement is only done sporadically. He plans to propose
budgeting for a part-time parking enforcement officer to work
20 hours a week and focus on
downtown.
Davis added that once set-up
there would be revenue from
the parking enforcement that
could cover at least most of the
cost of the added position.
Davis also said the should increase its fines so that it, hits
people in the wallet if you dont
park in a space that is authorized.
You have to have enforcement because people cant be
trusted to just do the honor system for parking, Davis said. It
is human nature.
Alder Gurdip Brar asked
Kelley about the deficit of 130
spaces required by the city ordinance.
Kelley said that future phases
may have to account for that but
each phase will be evaluated as

it is approved with an updated
parking management plan.
We could have just a typical
suburban development and have
a building with surface parking,
but that is what we are trying to
move away from and have underground parking, Kelley
said. Maybe people wont like
parking in there but we are offering that and trying to have
some backup plans and hopefully in the long run people
will.
That is something that is
more urban and more downtown oriented and that is what
we have said through approval
of this development that we
want, Kelley added.
The motion for approval of
the parking management plan
includes several stipulations including: the developer cover the
cost for purchase, maintenance,
insurance of four shared vehicles for a period of 15 years,
and that replacements be available when a car is out of service
for three or more days; lease 40
or more off-site parking spaces
no further than quarter mile
from the property and be available to all users of Middleton
Center; that no parking within
the development will be assigned a particular use (retail,
residential, office); and that the
lift and slide system (37 lift and
slide units) be installed in phase
one.
The motion passed 6 to 2
with alders Mark Sullivan and
Kathy Olson opposed.
Longtime public
lands director
Penni Klein retires
City of Middleton photo
It was announced last week that longtime public lands

director Penni Klein is retiring from her job with the City
of Middleton. It is with great sadness that I am announcing that Klein is retiring from active employment and
service, said city administrator Mike Davis in a written
statement. As a city, we have achieved tremendous
progress over Pennis 16-year tenure thanks to an excellent
Public Lands Recreation & Forestry staff and collegial
work with all city departments, Parks Recreation &
Forestry Commission (PRFC) and Conservancy Lands
Commission (CLC), dedicated volunteers and donors, as
well as with the financial support of our elected officials.
Davis went on to say that Klein provided the leadership, vision and wherewithal to accomplish great things for
our community, and we will be forever grateful for her
blood, sweat and tears in doing so.
Davis concluded that he never worked with a better
public servant than Penni Klein. She is an inspiration for
me and anyone striving for excellence in public service.
The city will miss her immensely.

Art & Soul comes to University Avenue
Times-Tribune photo by Matt Geiger
Many businesses are thriving in todays economy, and the owner of Art & Soul Tattoo and Gallery in New Glarus, Renee
May (above left) said hers is no exception. May, along with the eight artists that work under the Art & Soul name, has expanded the business to an additional location in Middleton.
The small New Glarus location has been the primary home for over five years and now the expansion gives them an additional 1,200 square feet of tattooing, piercing, permanent make-up and gallery space to expand to.
This is an addition that has been in the works for almost a year, said Renee. We had been looking for the right fit for
us and after looking at many communities in the area, we settled on the perfect location on University Avenue.
The new space boasts over 500 square feet of gallery space, which will be filled with the work of over 30 local artists.
The additional space and second location will allow us to accommodate more clients and be more productive as a crew

Art & Soul opened Friday, July 22.
County offers
funds to clean
up area water
Dane County is again accepting applications from local municipalities for its Urban Water
Quality Grant Program to assist with projects aimed at
cleaning up urban runoff pollution in area waters, Dane
County Executive Joe Parisi announced on Monday of this
week.
The grants are available to
help local communities constructstorm water management
facilities. These basins capture
trash and phosphorus-laden debris such as yard or pet waste
from urban areas that would
otherwise wash directly into
area lakes and streams during
heavy rains or snow melt. $1.4
million is available through the
grant program this year.
Our lakes, rivers, and
streams are incredibly valuable
resources and an integral part of
our economy and quality of
life,Parisi said. By working
together with local communities
we are able get more done and
stop more pollutants from getting into our waters.
Since starting the grant program in 2005, Dane County has

helped fund 53 projects totaling
over $10 million. These partnerships have stopped the flow
of over a half million pounds of
garbage and pollutants, including over 2,000 pounds of phosphorus. Phosphorus is the main
culprit causing algae growth in
area lakes. Every pound of
phosphorus removed from the
countys watershed prevents
500 pounds of algae from growing.
For the fifth consecutive
year, municipalities that propose projects in one of the
countys top ten target areas that
discharge large amounts of
phosphorus and sediment into
the lakes will be eligible to receive a 75% county cost share
grant. Other municipalities with
eligible projects outside the targeted areas could receive 50%
cost share.
In order to be considered for
funding, projects must be complete by the end of 2017. Additional funding criteria and
application information are
available
online
at:http://lwrd.countyofdane.co
m/wred/Assistance/uwqg.aspx.
The deadline for initial applications is July 31, 2016.

and Google at the top of the list.
Brand world value is a
new measurement of how valuable people think brands are to
their lives and the world, said
Brian Hardwick, who led the research. People today wield
more power than ever and they
are looking for brands that have
a purpose that aligns with what
they care about and they can
publicly support.

A recap of some of the significant crimes of last year

A message from Chief of

Police Chuck Foulke:
In 2015, the sale and use of
controlled substances continued
to be the driving force behind
the majority of our most significant criminal investigations.
Although marijuana is undoubtedly the most widely used controlled substance, heroin
continues to be the most insidious. Heroin is the most commonly admitted motivation for
the commission of minor property crimes, burglaries, robberies and even homicides. We
continue to cultivate our working relationship with the Dane
County Drug Task Force and
prosecution of felony drug offenders, while keeping a watchful eye on maintaining our
response level to all requests for
service.

Private Residences,
City-wide, Multiple
Burglaries
In early March, The Middleton Police Department received
the report of seven attempted
burglaries and three actual burglaries that had occurred
throughout the City. These reports came in sporadically and
were intermingled with reports
of
additional
burglaries
throughout the City that were
later determined to be unrelated.
Detectives were working to put
together a pattern or a common
method of operation for these
incidents.
On the morning of March 8,
victims of several attempted
burglaries, and some astute
neighbors, began filing timely
reports of these incidents with
the police. As multiple reports
began coming in that gave a
similar suspect and vehicle description, officers flooded the
area in search of the suspect.
Officer Smith located a suspect
vehicle similar to the one described by many of the victims
and stopped it on Amherst
Road. During this investigatory
stop, Officer Smith took 26 year
old Middleton resident, Dylan
McGinnity, into custody.
A thorough investigation led
officers to search McGinnitys
vehicle and his apartment.
Items from several area burglaries were recovered and McGinnity was arrested and jailed on
multiple
felony
burglary
charges. This single individual
was eventually linked to ten
separate cases that occurred between March 2 and March 8.
The majority of the property
stolen was later recovered at
Madison area pawn and jewelry
re-sale shops. McGinnity eventually admitted that he had been
committing the burglaries to
support his Heroin addiction.
Private Residences, 2100

Block of Gateway North,
Burglary
On 03-09-15, at 2:13 PM,
Middleton Police were dispatched to the above address
when the homeowner returned
to his residence to find his front
door had been kicked in.
While investigating the residential burglaries in the Gateway North area, Middleton
Officers conducted numerous
neighborhood canvass operations. As a result, officers were
contacted by an area resident
who had a trail camera set up in
his backyard. This individual
reported capturing images of an
unknown suspect who had attempted to gain entry into his
home while he was away.
Officers began circulating
images of this suspect in the
media and to local law enforcement. On 03-12-15, an area
probation agent identified the
suspect caught on the trail camera as 53 year old Middleton
resident Jemille Smith. Smith
was subsequently arrested and a
search warrant was issued for
his vehicle. This search resulted in the seizure of evidence
that linked Smith to three daytime residential burglaries.
Both McGinnity and Smith,
although completely unrelated,
used the common tactic of
knocking on front doors to see
if anyone was home prior to
breaking in. If someone answered the door, they would either ask for a fictitious person or
claim to be some type of repair
person at the wrong address.
Home Goods Store, 1661

to the report of an Armed Robbery at the BP Gas Station. The
suspect entered the store, told
the clerk that he had a gun and
demanded all of the cash from
the register. The suspect fled
with the cash from the store,

from the store. After a brief
motor vehicle pursuit, the suspect crashed into a parked car
near Tiedemans Park. The suspect then fled the accident scene
on foot. Officers from multiple

tion to refer a discontinuation of

shelter rental to the license and
ordinance committee passed 71.
Alder JoAnna Richard first
made the motion to amend the
ordinance to include discontinuing shelter rental. Alder Hans
Hilbert said the city should hold
off and make sure they have a
plan that that works for the city
and the school district.
City attorney and city staff
were directed to gather information on various other options
and report that back to a joint
meeting between L&O and
Park and Rec [committees],
Hilbert said. That meeting hasnt happened yet. What Richard
is trying to do should come as a
result of that and this is just a
minimum to get these restrictions on the books.
Richard asked when that
meeting would happen and
when the city council would
have a chance to weigh in on
the use of Firemans Park during school days.
Numerous students and parents of Middleton High School
spoke before the council in several meetings earlier this year
in, she said with a sigh. And one

Cockatiel who pooped on me! The
owner assured her that was good luck.
However her favorite animal guest?
A totally cool guy, Farley the Monkey,
from Fort Atkinson, she said. A little
monkey who would crawl on me, and
who had an obit in the paper. Its true.
Google it.
Nowotny estimated shes had 3,000
consigners over the years, some with
her since the beginning. She priced to
sell, contributing to the rapid turnover
of womens clothing, shoes, jewelry

and accessories. But almost more impressive as her rate of sale, is her loyal
following. Indeed, women have cried
after learning of Nowotnys upcoming
move.
You were there when my husband
passed away, and you were so kind to
me, Nowotny remembered one
woman saying recently, admitting that
sometimes shes acted like a confidante, a kind of a bartender, but thats
important stuff and I tried to do my
best for everybody.

Women have been stopping by daily,
reiterating their enjoyment in working
with her and their sorrow at seeing her
go.
I dont have a lot of money to my
name, but Ive got my honor and integrity, and I always treated people
fairly, Nowotny explained. Your reputation is everything.
Clearly her business model worked
well.
Bev Barbian, employed by Nowotny
for less than one year, visibly teared up

as she spoke about her bosss character.
Shes a very hard worker, she said.
She did it all. And shes singing all the

Nowotny will be leaving Wisconsin

My dad needs me! she exclaimed.
Her fathers health issues have become

Hilbert said the joint meeting

getting quorum, however.
City attorney Larry Bechler

We are meeting with the

Middleton remains on top

The divisional title has been
taken care of.
Now, Middletons Home Talent League team can focus on
bigger and better goals.
The 29ers toppled Lodi Sunday, 8-0, and locked up the
Northern Sections East Division. Middleton improved to
13-1, and with two games left in
the regular season, it cant be
caught by second place Black
Earth and Cross Plains, who are
both 8-5.
As we go down the stretch

here, we want to be playing
good baseball heading into the
playoffs, Middleton manager
Brandon Hellenbrand said. I
thought we looked sharp today
considering how hot it was outside.
Middleton ace Drew Farrell
was particularly sharp, working
eight innings and striking out
five. Farrell allowed just four
hits, walked one and retired 12
straight Lodi batters at one
point.
Hunter Bindl then threw a
perfect ninth, striking out two.
Farrell looked great on the
On a sizzling summer afternoon, Kenny Allen didnt let the

heat get to him.
Instead, he cranked up the
heat on the mound.
Allen and the Cross Plains
Businessmen Home Talent
Baseball team escaped the visiting Ashton As Sunday, beating them 5-2 in a Northern
League division game played at
Baer Park in Cross Plains.
Allen hurled 119 pitches (80
for strikes) to earn the win,
going the distance for Cross
Plains, striking out seven batters, scattering eight hits, and
escaping two Ashton rallies
along the way.
Ashton threatened in both the
seventh and ninth innings, loading the bases in the seventh and
sending the tying run to the
plate in the ninth. Both rallies
occurred with two outs, and
Allen was able to overpower the
As hitters to limit the damage,
earning the Gatorade bath at the
end.
Luckily enough during
those jams there were two outs,
so we were just one big pitch
away. Fortunately for me, I got
them both times, recalled Allen
of the pressure filled moments.
Cross Plains manager Randy
Meinholz came out to the
mound for a chat in the seventh
with Allen in a jam, but he
trusted in his pitcher enough to
keep him out there.
Recalled Allen: When he
[Randy] started walking up to
the mound, I told him Im not
coming out, Id like to pitch the
rest of the game. Its really nice
to have that mutual respect with
your manager that gives you
that trust.
I have all the faith in the
world [in Kenny]. Kenny is
tough. He pitches great in the
heat. Hes a tough competitor
out there, said Meinholz about
Allens gutsy performance.
Ashton stranded 11 runners
on base in the game, six of them

in scoring position, and just
werent able to capitalize on
their opportunities.
We got our runners on with
two outs, but just couldnt come
up with that clutch hit, said
Ashton assistant manager Joe
Reisdorf after the game.
Kevin Peternell started and
took the loss on the mound for
Ashton, going 4.2 innings, allowing two earned runs, three
hits, and striking out four hitters
on 88 pitches.
The game was a pitchers
duel and remained scoreless
until the bottom of the fourth inning when Cross Plains went to
work and got the scoring
started.
Will Doherty led off the inning with a walk. Doherty
ended up on third after a wild
pitch by Peternell and a passed
ball by As catcher Kasey
Miller. Doherty would end up
scoring the games first run on
a Jordan Lueck RBI-groundout.
In the bottom of the fifth,
Cross Plains added to their lead.
Shane Murphy led off the inning with a walk. Jake Manser
came in to pinch-run for Murphy. A sacrifice bunt by Allen
moved Manser into scoring position, and Jeremy Lochner
came through in the clutch with
a run scoring single to bring
home Manser, giving the Businessmen a 2-0 advantage and
knocking Peternell from the
game.
Ashton had a two-out rally
stymied in the sixth, but made
things interesting in the seventh.
Nick Maier got things started
by cracking a two-out single to
center field. Drew Finley-Haag
followed with a single of his
own. Carter Hoffman then
joined in on the fun by belting a
single to left-center field that allowed Maier to scamper home
from second base, putting the
score at 2-1. Shane Adler was

mound, Hellenbrand said. If

he can pitch the way he did
today, we have a chance to
make a good run in the playoffs.
Hunter did a great job coming in the ninth slamming the
door. He looked real sharp as
well.
Middletons offense wasnt
as explosive as recent weeks.
But the 29ers did enough to
maintain a comfortable cushion
throughout.
Middleton took a 1-0 lead in
the first inning when Brandon
Scheidler singled to start the
frame, advanced to third on two
wild pitches, and scored on a

sacrifice fly to center by Josh
Hinson.
In the second, A.J. Redders
doubled to start the inning and
scored when Lodi threw the ball
away at first base attempting to
turn a double play.
Middleton took a 3-0 lead in
the fifth when Scheidler
walked, moved to second on a
sacrifice bunt by Luke Schafer,
and scored on a double by Hinson.
The 29ers added another run
in the sixth to grab a 4-0 lead.
With two outs, Alec Morrison
walked, moved to third on a pair
of passed balls and scored on a

wild pitch.
Middleton then broke the
game open with a four-run seventh.
Kevin Dubler singled to start
the inning, Hinson doubled to
put runners on second and third,
then Brennan Schmitt singled to
right to score a pair.
Jeff Schafer followed with a
single and Ivan Monreal pinch
ran for Schafer.After a ground
out advanced both runners, Eric
Simon singled to left to bring
home Schmitt and Monreal.
Hinson finished the day 2for-2 with two doubles and two
RBI. Simon and Schmitt each

added a hit and two RBI.
Offensively we werent as
explosive as we have been
lately, but we were able to take
advantages of some walks and
moved guys when we needed,
Hellenbrand said.
On deck: Middleton wraps
up the regular season this weekend.
Middleton hosts Sauk Prairie

time you want to get hot.
Taking care of business
Luke Schafer steals second base on a wild pitch.

hit by a pitch, loading the bases
for clean-up man and dangerous
hitter Derek Prochaska. Allen
got Prochaska to pop up on the
first pitch, but Ashton had found
some life.
Cross Plains fought back in
the bottom of the seventh. Murphy led off the inning with a
single. Allen singled next, putting runners at first and second.
With one out, Drew Meinholz
came through, hitting a single
that scored Murphy from second, making it 3-1. Doherty was
up next, and he delivered a single, scoring Allen, giving Cross
Plains the 4-1 edge. A Ryan Pulvermacher sacrifice fly scored
Meinholz and capped off the
scoring for the inning, making
the score 5-1.
A perfect eighth inning
pitched by Allen set the table
for him to head to the mound in
the ninth and try to toss the
complete game, but Ashton
wasnt done yet.

Allen easily retired the first
two Ashton hitters, and got to a
two strike count on FinleyHaag. Allen grazed a pitch off
the top of Finley-Haags helmet
on the next pitch, sending him
to first base. Hoffman came up
next and walked, and the As
were yet again rallying with two
outs. Shane Adler came up next
and contributed an RBI-single
that scored a racing FinleyHaag from second, and the Ashton faithful started to stir in the
stands with the score sitting at
5-2. Prochaska came up in a
huge spot, representing the
tying run. Prochaska fought, but
Allen won the battle, striking
him out to end the game and
earn the win for Cross Plains.
He [Prochaska] is probably
their most feared hitter; you
cant make many mistakes on
him, said Allen.
Leading hitters for Ashton
Times-Tribune photo by Mary Langenfeld
were Prochaska (2-4) and Nolan

Kouba (2-4).
Leading the way for Cross
Plains were Lochner (2-4, 1
RBI), D. Meinholz (2-4, 1 RBI,
1 R), and Doherty (1-2, 1 RBI,
1 R).
The game was a big one for
both teams, as Cross Plains
came in with a 9-5 record, and
Ashton sporting an 8-6 record.
A win by Ashton would have
put them in a tie with Cross
Plains in the standings with just
one week remaining in the regular season.
Cross Plains now heads into
their final game with some momentum: winners of three
straight and looking to get a
higher seed for the playoffs.
Ashton hosts Middleton July
31 in a re-match of the thriller
that Middleton won 9-8 in late
June. The As would love to take
one from the Northern Division
leaders heading into the play-
offs.
Said As assistant manager
Joe Reisdorf: We have to start
playing more consistent baseball. Were giving good teams
extra outsbut well battle.
Well give Middleton another
run for it.
Cross Plains travels to Black
Earth July 31 in a game that will
feature two 10-5 teams, both
battling for a potential two-seed
in the playoffs. Black Earth defeated Cross Plains 9-2 earlier
in the year, so the Businessmen
have something to prove.
Added Cross Plains manager
Randy Meinholz: Black Earth
beat us pretty bad last time.
Were going to try to be ready
for them. I shouldnt have to get
the guys up for that onenext
week will be a playoff atmosphere game.
Both games are scheduled for
a 1:00 PM first pitch on Sunday.

Bruce Company, 2030

Parmenter Street, Burglary
In the months of August and
September, employees of the
Bruce Company reported three
burglaries to the retail store.
The reports were made well
after the suspected burglaries
had occurred as inventory control measures were determining
that products were missing.
Staff eventually installed security cameras which captured images of an unknown subject
entering through a window, taking items and then carefully
covering his tracks as he exited
with the loot.
As the suspect was known to
have stolen several expensive
Weber gas grills, Middleton Police Officers began monitoring
several internet sites looking for
similar items listed for sale. In
early September, Middleton Detectives began communicating
with a seller of a brand new
Weber grill on Craigslist. Detectives arranged for a meeting
with the subject and were able
to confirm that he was the person captured on camera stealing
from the store. A search of the
suspects home and yard revealed thousands of dollars of
stolen patio furniture, grills and
outdoor equipment. Thirtyseven year old Middleton resident Juan Ortiz was arrested on
multiple counts of burglary

from several Dane County area
stores.
Pheasant Branch
Conservancy, 3615
Pheasant Branch Road,
Theft
In early September, the Middleton Police Department took
four theft from auto reports
from the parking lots servicing
the Pheasant Branch Conservancy. Dane County Deputies
investigated three similar incidents in their adjacent park. On
the afternoon of September 23,
Middleton Detectives conducted surveillance in the area
and observed a male subject
driving between two of the
Conservancy parking lots and
looking into vehicles. As the
subject left the area in a vehicle,
he was stopped by patrol officers. One of the detectives then
responded to the parking lot
where the suspect was last seen
and in doing so he located a vehicle that had been broken into.
The vehicle the suspect was
driving was seized and a search
warrant was written. Inside the
vehicle, detectives found evidence from five separate thefts
from vehicles that had occurred
in Middleton, Madison and the
Town of Springfield. As a result of this investigation, 40
year old Fitchburg resident,

Rodney Wipperfurth was jailed
on several charges including
theft, criminal damage to property, theft of credit cards and
possession of drug paraphernalia.
PDQ Store, 5301 South

Ridge Way, Uniform
Controlled Substance
On 11-03-15, at 5:08 PM,
Middleton Officers were summoned by PDQ staff as there
was a customer in the store that
appeared to be on drugs. Officers located and identified the
described suspect. A standard
records check revealed that the
subject had active warrants for
his arrest. The subject was
taken into custody and a search
incident to arrest of his person
revealed a substantial amount of
contraband. Twenty-two year
old Middleton resident Jacob
Gessler was arrested and jailed
for Possession of Heroin, Marijuana, Paraphernalia and Carrying a Concealed Weapon.
Smoothie King, 2019
Deming Way, Theft

Ivonne, 23, told me all about the

new yummy offerings, the
amazing specials and the big
variety of Latino American
products they carried.
As I entered the Bodega, I
could not resist the scrumptious
smells of tamales and salsas that
Fatima and Oscar were preparing. It was almost time for
lunch, and many families were
coming into the Bodega for
some menudo - the special of
the day.
Ivonne tells me she can cook,
but she rarely tries because her
parents are so good at it. She
said she loves the chicken
tamales with green salsa and the
guacamole homemade salsa her
mother prepares for the store.
I believe her. The colors,
smells and feel of Mexican
home cooking are undeniable in
Bodega Yuremi.
In a traditional sense, Bodega
means a store specializing in
Hispanic grocery but it is also
slang for convenient store.
That is really what Oscar wants

Bodega Yuremi to be: a convenient store that carries products
from different parts of Latin
America.
Rice, beans, plantains, fresh
fruit, hand pressed juices,
homemade salsas, tacos, burritos, tortas and some items that
may seem exotic for some customers like no pales (cactus
plant), guisados (a sort of stew)
and aguas frescas (fruit refreshments): Bodega Yuremi has it
all on top of daily specials and
to-go tamales.
The tamales, though, are in a
totally different category.
For connoisseurs of Mexican
food, it is possible to get
chicken or pork tamales but Fatima and Oscar put a spin on it.
Their tamales are chicken with
red salsa, pork with green salsa
or rajas with cheese, which are
very spicy - and they are all
amazingly mouthwatering.
Ivonne tells me that you can
get one dozen tamales for $15,
or a half dozen for $7.50. Also,

you can get menu del dia - the
daily menu - for $8, which is
menudo (soup with red chili
based and beef stomach in
broth) with tortillas or whatever
they feel like cooking that day.
Some daily specials are chilaquiles, chiles rellenos and
guisado with rice and beans for
$8.99. They even take some
special requests.
You can order a fresh taco,
burrito or torta with fresh ingredients to go or you can sit down
in their casual dining room.
They are open Mondays
through Sunday from 9 a.m. to
9 p.m. The restaurant portion of
the store closes at 8 p.m. every
day except Sundays, when it is
open until 6 p.m.
It is possible to call for catering orders too. Check them out
on Facebook, Instagram, Yelp
and Google.
As I watch Fatima serve
food, people are browsing the
products at the store. They ask
questions and smile. If it is true

that great food fills the soul,
Bodega Yuremi does a great job
at it.
Ivonne tells me how much
she admires her parents for
working so hard and how proud
she is of witnessing their business growing. She enjoys tending to customers and organizing
the store.
We all do everything, she
says with a grin. My favorite
role is to be able to help my parents in everything they need at
the store.
Ivonne is bilingual, having
learned Spanish by listening to
her family. That is yet another
reason to visit Bodega Yuremi:
you can practice your Spanish
and eat delightful food.
Middleton has welcomed
Yuremis expansion with open
arms, they say. Some customers
even visit the store just to talk
to Fatima and Oscar. Sometimes they bring them something to eat that they have

prepared at their homes.
We have customers from
different parts of the world like
Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Bolivia, Nicaragua and some people from Argentina, says Oscar
proudly.
Oscar said that the idea of expanding Bodega Yuremi actually came from customers who
kept asking for more.
Fatima and Oscar agreed that
the biggest struggle in the business is a lack of employees.
People do not want to work
in this kind of job because it requires long hours and sometimes there is a heavy work
load, said Oscar, a bit disappointed. But their own hard
work has paid off.
Customers congratulate us
all the time and that make us
feel really proud of how much
we have accomplished, Oscar
said.
Unmistakably, Hispanic people from the area identify with
the store and feel good about
their heritage because they can
find many products from their
countries in Bodega Yuremi.
They also have customers from
Africa - and those born and
raised in Middleton who want
to try new foods or are looking
for an exotic meal or ingredient.
If you are going to buy it, I
will sell it, Oscar says.
Oscar and Fatima also own a
smaller store in Waunakee.
