Sweet & Soothing Sounds Plan Commission Approves Additional

$1 Million in TIF for Middleton Center
BY CAMERON BREN
Times-Tribune
MIDDLETON–The Mid-
dleton Plan Commission is
recommending the common
council approve an additional
amount of about $1.09 million
in developer financed TIF for
T. Wall Enterprises’ Middleton
Center project. Wall requested
the funds to assist with tenant
buildout in commercial spaces
that have been sitting vacant
since the building opened more
than a year ago.
In 2016 the Middleton
Common Council approved a
developer financed TIF agree-
ment for $7.3 million to cover

Wall says the he made the
latest request after realizing the
assessed value for Middleton
Center is higher when common
area maintenance is accounted,
which was omitted from the
original pro forma. He points
out the original TIF agreement
also says 100 percent of the tax
increment generated will be re-
turned to the project.
Wall’s request was pre-
sented and deferred at the last
plan commission meeting until
more information could be
provided. Mayor Gurdip Brar
asked that director of commu-
nity development Abby At-
toun look at other projects in
the city that have used TIF for
economic development, look at
what other nearby cities have
done, clarification from a city
attorney about the ‘but-for’

Attoun went through the in-
formation she had been asked
to collect. Regarding using TIF
for retail Attoun said the city
has provided TIF for retail for
mixed use such as Treysta on

Golf Course Committee T’d Off Over Roundabout Plan

BY KEVIN MURPHY
Times-Tribune
MIDDLETON–The Pleas-
ant View Golf Course Advi-
sory Committee is teeing up
opposition to the option of
constructing a roundabout at
the intersection of Greenway
Boulevard and Pleasant View
Road near the entrance to the
city-owned course.
The planned widening of
Pleasant View Road to four
lanes between Blackhawk Road
and US 14 could cause the re-
locating three holes along and
near Pleasant View Road at a
cost of up to $500,000, Jeremy
Cabalka, director of golf, told
the committee at their June 18
meeting.
A walking path proposed for
the west side of Pleasant View
Road would further encroach
on the golf course and put
walkers, golfers and motorists
in dangerous proximity, com-
mittee members said.
“The intrusion planned will
be significant to the course’s
future,” said Alder Mark Sulli-
van, who is also a golf commit-
tee member.
Members were also dis-
mayed by the City of Middle-
ton Common Council’s “rush”
at its June 5 meeting to consider
traffic lights or roundabouts at
Pleasant View Road intersec-
tions and to bypass their input
on decisions that could severely
impact the course’s operations
and profitability.
The Plan Commission and
Public Works Committee both
recommended roundabouts
at Quarry Road, Greenway
Boulevard and Blackhawk
Road. Safety concerns and re-
configuring the Lakes Course
were discussed by the council.
However, Sullivan’s motion to
install a stoplight at Greenway
Boulevard failed for a lack of a
second.
The council then approved
hiring an architect to determine
impact to the golf course from
the widening of Pleasant View
Road.
At Monday’s golf committee
meeting, members strategized
on how to minimize impact to
the course from the road proj-
ect.
“The issue will be golf
course income versus safety,”
member Janet Lord said.
The course would lose short
term income from loss of busi-
ness while the road is widened,
plus the expense of having to
reconfigure part of the Lakes
Course and the loss of the value
of the property the new road
will take, said member Tom
Scott.
Since the city operates the
golf course as enterprise fund,
similar to the water utility, the
common council has a fiduciary
duty to protect it from adverse
impacts, Sullivan said.
Members urged a show of
support for a traffic light at a
June 28 informational meeting
at 5 p.m. at City Hall where
engineers from Middleton and
Madison will outline the joint
project.
Sullivan suggested committee
members council members and
tell them why they also should
favor a stoplight at Greenway
Boulevard.
Alder Robert Burck said
members should attend the next
council meeting and during
the three-minute public input
portion, advocate for the golf
course.
“I’m mostly on your side. I
fully support stoplight but we
need three stoplights in succes-
sion, not roundabout, stoplight,
roundabout,” he said.
However, moving the
planned walking path from the
west side of the road may not be
an option as it needs to be there
to connect to Madison’s path,
Burck said.
Cabalka said City Admin-
istrator Mike Davis appears
to favor a stoplight instead a
roundabout at Greenway Bou-
levard to lessen the impact on
the course.
Efforts to build a stronger
case for a stoplight are ham-
pered at this point due to a
lack of solid information, said
Cabalka. How much land would
the course would lose to road
widening and a roundabout,
what are the plans for the trans-
mission line that runs along the
road, impact on course income
and what is Madison’s design
for the road, need to be deter-
mined. Cabalka said.
“There’s a focus on the The committee unanimously
roundabout but we need to con- approved a resolution not sup-
sider the entire impact on hole porting a roundabout at Green-
two (of the Lakes Course),” way Boulevard due to potential
Golf Committee Feels
Left Out of Planning
BY KEVIN MURPHY
Times-Tribune
MIDDLETON–As discussion wound down
Monday on issues facing the Pleasant View
Golf Course Advisory Committee, members
turned to talking about their lack of influence
on decisions impacting the course.
“I feel the common council doesn’t know a
lot about the golf course,” said committee mem-
ber Janet Lord.
Alder Robert Burck, who attended the meet-
ing at member Tom Scott’s request, said he has
seen all but one new council member at the
course.
“While my knowledge of golf courses is
weak…the issue I hear most is that you guys
don’t communicate well with other groups,”
Burck said. “Parks and Public Works specifi-
cally.”
The Public Works and Parks committees
did not seem to consider the impact on the golf
course of their recommendation for roundabouts
on Pleasant View Road, many golf committee
members said.
“They make the decisions and we get it last,”
Lord said.
Public Works and Park committees “stomped
on us,” with the roundabout recommendation
for Greenway Boulevard, said Scott.
“I feel like some think the golf course is just
there for the taking,” he said.
Asked for advice, Burck said Alder Mark
Sullivan, also a golf committee member, “is
brilliant with numbers, but rubs some people
the wrong way.”
“He comes across loud and boisterous and
you don’t want that to rub off on you. You need
to reach out more. Other groups aren’t reaching
out either,” Burck said.
Sullivan attended Monday’s committee meet-
adverse effects to the course
and safety issues for motorists,
golfers and pedestrians.
ing, discussed the impact widening Pleasant
View Road could have on the golf course but
left before Burck made his remarks.
In phone interview Tuesday, Sullivan said it
was the first he has heard of Burck’s concerns
about his effectiveness and that “it was unfortu-
nate that he made those concerns known after I
was out of the room.”
Sullivan said he will continue to be “an un-
wavering advocate for the golf course,” and
work so the council understands that their ac-
tions can have “a deleterious effect,” on it.
”If I come across as loud and boisterous so
be it. It was done to change perceptions on the
council about the potential the golf course has,”
Sullivan said.
Lord defended Sullivan saying “he makes
points for us. He’s our biggest supporter,” on
the council, “but he can’t be our only one.”
Being golf’s lone advocate on the council
may have caused other council members to quit
listening to him, Lord added.
Jeremy Cabalka, director of golf, said they
should be a process to engage the golf commit-
tee in decisions affecting the courser before they
are made.
“That process is broken,” he said.
The golf committee seems to work in a vac-
uum, Scott said.
“I feel like we’re in this (meeting) room
alone,” he said.
There’s a perception that other city commit-
tees don’t work well with each other, Burck
said.
Communicating by reaching out to members
of other committees and the common council
would help elevate the golf committee’s profile
and possibly their influence, Burck said.
“Take every opportunity you can make your-
selves heard,” he advised.

DANE COUNTY–Capturing
methane gas at one of the two an-
aerobic digesters in Dane County
is nothing new. The county has
been capturing methane pro-
duced by manure for some time
and sold it to utilities through a
buyback program, fueling 4500
homes, but with no offer for re-
newal of the program, the county
turned to making a different kind
of fuel, compressed natural gas
(CNG).

“Our staff recognized that in
today’s energy market there is a
need for CNG,” he stated. That
market includes selling the fuel
on the open market through cap
and trade programs, with Califor-
nia being one of the bigger buy-
ers.
The county was fortunate in
that a natural gas pipeline runs
near the Dane County landfill,
making transportation of the gas
easy. The hard part is refining the
bio fuel so that it is clean enough
to go in the pipeline, a process
more costly and involved than
methane extraction.
Parisi said the gas is cleaner to
burn, reduces greenhouse gases,
removes the use of fossil fuels
and reduces the cost to taxpayers
because many county vehicles
are already running on CNG.
“Whenever a vehicle comes up,
we look to see if we can use

Parisi said that the county sim-

group of farmers provide manure
for the projects. The county com-
mission is currently exploring the
best location for future digesters,
and how many digesters are sus-
tainable as well as ensuring the
pipeline is able to accommodate
increased production of the fuel.
“This project benefits the com-
munities and the environment.
This community cares deeply
about climate change. If the state
isn’t going to do something about
it, we’re going to do something
about it,” Parisi explained. “I

Friends of Pheasant Branch Awarded Grant

MIDDLETON–The Friends
of Pheasant Branch Conser-
vancy have been awarded a
grant from the Clean Lakes
Alliance to study the feasibil-
ity of installing a carp barrier
near the mouth of Pheasant
Branch Creek to protect water
quality and the valuable wet-
lands in the conservancy. In
late April, carp migrate from
Lake Mendota up into the
creek and wetlands, disrupting
habitat for game fish, harming
water quality and impeding
recreational use of the creek
and wetlands for fishing, ca-
noeing and kayaking. Carp are
aggressive bottom feeders–up-
rooting vegetation, stirring up
sediment, and increasing nu-
trient loads to the Lake Men-
dota, which contribute to algae
blooms.
The grant will evaluate a
“bubble barrier” relying on air
pumped into submerged lines
to create a curtain of bubbles
that have been shown to ef-
fectively reduce carp passage
in Wisconsin lakes, including
Beaver Dam Lake and Green
Lake. These barriers have the
advantage of not blocking
other fish species, wildlife or
watercraft and can be acti-
vated seasonally rather than
being permanently installed.
The Wisconsin Department
of Natural Resources recently
constructed a northern pike
rearing pond in this area. The
spring migration of carp may
be disrupting this spawning
cycle; installation of a barrier
may benefit northern pike as
well as other panfish and wild-
life in the area.
The grant of $8750 will be
used to study carp activity,
evaluate the location and pos-
sible designs of a barrier as
well as determine costs, permit
requirements, and implemen-
tation and maintenance issues.
A final report will recommend
whether to pursue installation
of a barrier and how to de-
sign, construct and maintain
it. These findings could then
be implemented elsewhere in
the Yahara Lakes Watershed
to improve water quality and
habitat, reduce phosphorus and
provide recreational benefits.
The contractor for the work
will be Montgomery Associ-
ates: Resource Solutions, LLC,
and the grant period runs from
June 1-May 31, 2019.
The Clean Lakes Alliance
is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit
organization dedicated to the
improvement and protection
of the lakes, streams and wet-
lands in the Yahara River wa-
tershed. Through community
support, advocacy and educa-
tion, the Clean Lakes Alliance
works to restore and protect
the lakes. Working with busi-
nesses, farmers, elected offi-
cials and citizens, the Clean
Lakes Alliance successfully
diverted 14,000 pounds of
phosphorus from Madison area
lakes in 2017. This is 30 per-
cent of the way to their goal of
50 percent phosphorus reduc-
tion by 2025. This is the first
year of the grant program and
awards were made under five
categories: farmland manage-
ment; leaf management; con-
struction erosion; lake access
and in-lake management; and
youth education. The award
to the Friends falls under the
category of lake access and in-
lake management.

Team Up to Offer Active Shooter Training
BY MICHELLE PHILLIPS
Times-Tribune
MIDDLETON–The Middle-
ton Police Department, in con-
junction with the Dane County
Sheriff’s Office, will offer an
active shooter training class
that will be open to the pub-
lic. The class will be held at
the Middleton Performing Arts
Center on July 24 and begin at
6 p.m.
The training, which will take
about two hours, offers indi-
viduals the opportunity to learn
what to do if an active shooter
situation arises.
“We want to give people
tools so they are a little more
prepared if they find them-
selves in this situation,” said
Kim Wood, Middleton Po-
lice Department Community
Awareness Officer. “It gives a
really good insight as to how to
respond to those events.”
Wood said it also gives at-
tendees insights about how law
enforcement responds to an ac-
tive shooters situation.
Josalyn Longley, Emergency
Preparedness Coordinator at the
Dane County Sheriff’s Office,
is a dedicated active shooter
presenter and will be on hand to
discuss what to do in a shoot-

over $148 million in total,”
Mavroulis said. “After further
discussion and moving some
things and reducing some
things we left the meeting at
about $145 million in total.”
He said based on the survey
results collected by a district
hired consultant the amount
should not be more than $140
million as the community
would unlikely support any
amount greater.
Mavroulis said the archi-
tects and builders can get their
number down by making fur-
ther changes but are asking the
school board to choose a pre-
liminary cost limit.
“You may think these are
big numbers and you can cut $5

not that easy,” Mavroulis noted.
have occurred, such as Sandy
Hook and Pulse nightclub in
Florida, and give insight into
what survivors did to stay alive.
The program will cover the
three standard models of re-
sponse in an active shooter
incident: ALICE which stands
for Alert, Lockdown, Inform,
Counter, Evacuate, and is the
most come used in schools;
Avoid, Deny and Defend, the
FBI model; and Run, Hide,
Fight, which is the most widely
accepted response.
Wood explains that you
should run to try to escape the
building. You should try to find
things around you to barricade
yourself with if you can’t get
out. She said to also remem-
ber that common items can be
used as weapons to throw at the
shooter.
“It is important to talk to
family, friends and coworkers
so you can be prepared in case
it happens. We want people to
survive,” she stated. “I think
active shooter events, and gun
topics in general, is at the fore-
front of people’s minds.”
Wood said there are some
frequently asked questions at
the training sessions, the last
of which in Middleton was
two years ago. “We get a lot of
‘what if’ questions,” she said.
One of those questions that

Board member Kurt Karbu-
sicky said he was inclined to
keep the number below $140
million even if that meant going
with $139 million. He asked if
having the extra money could
be used as a contingency.
Mavroulis said a 5 percent
contingency fund would be in-
cluded in any plan.
“I think what we’d like to
do is spend up to what we can
spend,” Karbusicky said. “We
have needs and are really cut-
ting it here, so if we can get as
close to $140 million and have
it be a success, that it the goal.”
Mavroulis said the board will
have to make its final decision
on July 16 but has options to go
through at the meeting prior.
He said projected operating
costs are coming in less than $5
comes up is concerning con-
cealed carry, and the options of
a person with a concealed carry
permit. For example, what will
happen if law enforcement
shows up and you are holding
a gun? She added the person
should rely on what their train-
ing level is and how comfort-
able they are with their gun
before pulling out a weapon as
well as the positive and nega-
tive aspects of getting involved.
The class will discuss how
law enforcement responds to
an active shooter event. The
first priority is to control or
neutralize the scene. They also
work closely with emergency
medical services and the fire
department to get people med-
ical attention quickly.
Wood said the class also
touches on what types of re-
sources businesses have to offer
their people. She said issues can
sometimes arise with employ-
ees when they are displaced or
fired. Sometimes it is a mental
health issue or even addiction
that makes a person go out and
shoot others. “Some people
become upset and see no other
option,” she explained.
“We really want people to
have options and not feel hid-
ing is the only option,” said
Wood, who included that you

roulis said Findorff updates
their numbers every 30 days.

said he felt there was not infor-
mation to work off of to start

Immigration
The immigration pathways
into the United States cause
much consternation within me.
Now more than ever I loathe the
way we treat and mistreat immi-
grants from other countries.
There are a couple of sure
fired ways to come to the US
on a visa. Come with a skill we
need, come as a student, come
as a scientist or pay $500,000.
It’s that last one that poses a big
problem for me. Pay money.
It is no secret that in the US
people worship the almighty
dollar, and no one loves it more
than our own government. So, I
guess the saying “money talks”
is apropos in this instance.
You can also apply for a
Green Card Lottery, but only if
you are from certain countries.
do not have enough immigrants
coming to America. This pro-
gram was introduced during
the 1990 Immigration Act, and
Congress has been attempting to
repeal for the last 13 years.
Our immigration policy also
allows people to coming here
when they are seeking asylum
from their own country. Asylum
is, theoretically, granted to peo-
ple who are persecuted because
of race, religion, nationality,
membership in certain social
groups and political opinion.
Many people who seek asylum
do not know US laws, many rely
on others to illegally get them
across the border, and to be hon-
est, if I were fleeing a war-torn
country to seek asylum I prob-
ably would not have a pocket
guide to US immigration laws. I
would be worried about getting
States as immigrants, one le-
gally, the other illegally.
Mohammad came from war
torn Sudan, first on a student
visa. He fell in love, got married
and went through the process of
legally becoming a naturalized
citizen. He owns a business and
he and his wife have a daughter
and are raising her kids from a
previous marriage.
He had to study for the natu-
ralization test, pay a fee and wait.
The whole thing was pretty cut
and dried and took about three
years.
My gay friend Arturo feared
for his life in a Mexican bor-
der town. He hired a coyote to
bring him across the border. He
worked under the table at local
restaurants and on his way home
one night was pulled over for
running a stop sign, at which
time it was discovered that he
had an illegal ID.
He was deported, which took
three months, and beaten by po-
lice in Mexico when they found
out he was gay. His father then
gave him money to hire a coyote
the border and being in a Las
Vegas “safe house” with dozens
of other illegal immigrants for
weeks.
After he told me his story, he
exclaimed, “That, Michelle, is
love for America.” As I thought
about it, he was right. He loved
America and was desperate to
live in a country in which he
didn’t have to shield who he
truly was. So desperate that he
risked his life twice to get here.
I could only think how lucky I
was that I won the ultimate US
immigration lottery, being born
here.
He is now seeking asylum be-
cause he is gay and persecuted
for it in his hometown. I wrote
a letter of support for Arturo be-
cause I know him to be a hard
worker, a kind and compassion-
ate person, an animal lover and
a fabulous dance partner. He
was my friend and the thought
of him possibly being killed if
he returned, pained me. In total
he had 15 people write letters,
which the judge considered

California relies on temporary
work visa for immigrants and
most of our fruit and vegetables
grown in the US is picked by
migrant workers, though most
are illegal. In California, it has
been reported in the Los Ange-
les Times that food is rotting in
the fields because there is no one
to pick it.
I worked in restaurants for
many years. Restaurants would
fold without illegal immigrants,
without a doubt. Almost all the
bussers and dishwashers in the
restaurants I worked in were ille-
gal immigrants, as well as many
of the cooks. In fact, Anthony
Bourdain is quoted as saying the
same thing. He has also said that
he rarely saw an application for
those positions that wasn’t His-
panic.
It doesn’t stop at fields and
restaurants. Illegal immigrants
process meat, clean hotels, take
care of children and do the other
jobs that Americans simply
don’t want for a wage to which
they would never agree. For
years I have been saying that if
they let in and when. It typically
involves the need for a work-
force, such as during the Indus-
trial Revolution or when we
were building a transcontinental
railway. Or when you need your
grapes picked.
Rounding up and deporting
illegal immigrants is apparently
going to be how we deal with it,
but first we must rip the families
apart. The government tries to
justify this inhumane practice
by both hiding behind the law
and citing verses from the Bible.
To further traumatize people
who have fled war and gang
violence is unconscionable. To
take children from their parents
is barbaric and to hear Christians
defend it is maddening.
Should we let all immigrants
in, should we revamp our laws
to make new provisions for those

gally? Should we keep everyone
out? I don’t have an answer to
immigration policies, but I have

“In space, no one can hear you
scream.” That’s what they say, at
least.
I’m not sure. But I know that
in adulthood, no one can hear
you throw up.
When you are young and you
get sick, there is always some-
one there to comfort you. When
you have the flu as a child, liv-
ing on stale Saltine crackers and
warm, flat ginger ale, your mom
or dad is always there with a
bucket and the promise, eternal
on parents’ lips, that the current
state of things is not the perma-
nent state of things. That things
are not okay now, but that some-
day they will be.
Two weeks ago, my four-
year-old daughter caught a virus
that was going around. Her sick-
ness followed a standard route
with which all parents are famil-
iar. Wake up in the middle of the
night to the sound of your child
in distress. Hold her hair, rub her
back, and tell her that despite all
evidence to the contrary, things
are going to be just fine.
“You feel like you are going
to die?” you ask. “No worries,
that’s completely normal. It hap-
pens to everyone.”
You secretly marvel at how
something so small, a person
who has to stand on her toes to
open a car door, can house so
much sickness. You embrace her
and feel her torso, and her little
organs, quivering with exhaus-
tion and fear. In between these
episodes, you do a spectacular
amount of laundry, you purchase
food and drink you would never
usually keep in your home,
pouring sports drinks down
your primary criterion is not fla-
vor, but rather color, wondering
which hue – neon green, clown-
nose red or blue #374 – will be
the least distressing to see force-
fully ejected from someone you
love.
Eventually, you go to the
doctor, where someone who
presumably graduated from
medical school says, “it’s prob-
ably just a virus” then hands you
a bill for $800. In the end, you
cure your child’s illness with a
massive dose of television and
patience, to be taken as needed
until the world is once again in
alignment.
I don’t remember that side of
it from my childhood. All I re-
call was physical discomfort and
a vague, overarching sense of
calm reassurance that served as
its cosmic counterweight.
Even when you get a little
older, and your age allows you
to venture out into a world you
know nothing about, in a body
you know nothing about, and
you drink too much pilfered beer
around a fire in the woods with
perience.
I write this on my first day as a
39-year-old adult. In many ways,
I am the same person I was back
then. Equally perplexed and in-
defensibly optimistic. A fan of
adventure stories set in faraway
lands, and a man who is willing
to take risks, particularly of the
culinary variety.
Aside from a troubling bout
with encephalitis during my
teen years, I’ve rarely been sick.
Imagine my surprise when I
came down with a case of food
poisoning last week. (That’s a
cowardly and passive way to say
it. The truth is, I food poisoned
myself, because I know that any-
one who eats not one but several
deep-fried meals from a carnival
over the course of a weekend is
just asking for it. When “doing
the dishes” after dinner involves
throwing a little wooden pop-
sicle stick into the gaping maw
of an open-air trashcan, you are
doing something approximately
as advisable as going back into
the house you just escaped in a
horror movie.)
could even start worrying about
war, cancer, the economy and
the environment as usual, I re-
alized, and had to admit to my-
self and to any supreme deity
who might be eavesdropping in
those dark early morning hours,
that the seventh corn dog after
three days spent in the unrelent-
ing summer sun just might have
been a mistake.
My biggest concern through-
out the rest of that night was not
my own discomfort, or the way
nausea has an ability to make ev-
erything–including smells, col-
ors and sounds–worse. No, the
only thing I really cared about
that night was not waking my
wife and daughter. For my wife,
who deserves rest more than
anyone else I know, it would
be an inconvenience. For my
daughter, it would be worse; a
midnight announcement that the
person to whom she looks for
strength, stability, and, appar-
ently infinite reserves of musky
patience, was fragile, foul, dis-
gusting and defeated. All by a
few seemingly harmless extra
me from that low, fresh perspec-
tive that’s not too different than
the one experienced by my four-
year-old daughter, I noticed the
places where we really need to
replace the grout, I wondered for
the thousandth time whether our
broken bathroom fan is some-
thing I can fix myself or some-
thing for which I need to call in
a professional. But mostly, as the
tides of illness crashed in then
rolled out within me, I thought
one thing: “I must throw up qui-
etly!”
I did, and that noise, I think,
the hushed violence of food poi-
soning in a man on the verge of
his 39th birthday, is the sound of
love. The most common theme
in these columns is that I know
very little, but like Socrates, I
at least know that I don’t know
much. But I, like all dads, am
becoming something of a scholar
in the eclectic discipline of love
as the years accumulate.
And part of love, I believe,
is knowing that despite all evi-
dence to the contrary, things are
going to be fine.

Wastewater Concerns at Stagecoach
Letter to the Editor:
Let us hope the Middleton City Council, especially Susan West,
not to mention the Board of the so-called Friends of Pheasant
Branch Conservancy, has driven by the vast area of destruction of
nature to make room for an unattractive apartment building named
the Stagecoach.
Beneath the building will be a pit that is expected to hold all the
run off from roofs and parking areas. The plan is to clean the water
by treatment, a questionable process, then release it to a small tank
where it is treated again, before it spills into the Pheasant Branch
Creek. What will happen in a downpour, not an unusual occur-
rence? The creek will receive untreated
filthy water and no telling what the damage may be to fish and
wild life.
The trucks and machinery obstructing traffic now is just the be-
ginning of traffic issues when the apartments are occupied.
The building was a bad idea to begin with. There was a great deal
of opposition to the concept–but those who could have stopped it
were not listening. The Stagecoach project is on its way, a dismal
mistake.

Special Olympians Compete at State Telephone Scams Reported in Area

DANE COUNTY–Telephone scammers are
continuing to have success in Dane County, and
the Sheriff’s Office wants to remind citizens not
to fall prey to their cons. The Sheriff’s Office,
as well as other local police agencies have heard
from countless citizens this week who have been
called by these scammers claiming to be from a
local law enforcement agency.
The person tells the victim that they missed jury
duty or have an active warrant; they then tell the
victim they can avoid being arrested by making a
payment over the telephone. In some cases they
are telling the victim to report downtown to the
Sheriff’s Office to get the money credited back.
While some people simply hang up, others have
given the scammers hundreds, even thousands of
dollars. To an unsuspecting person, the caller can
sound very official, and even gives a call back
number.
At no time will law enforcement or any gov-
ernment agency contact you by telephone to
collect funds. Furthermore, you should never
divulge personal information or give someone
money over the telephone.
Unfortunately, this type of crime presents law
enforcement with very few avenues to investi-
gate. The telephone numbers are typically un-
traceable and many times they are coming from
overseas. The best way to combat these criminals
is to ensure that more individuals do not fall vic-
tim to their tactics.
Since many of the potential victims may not
see news reports or warnings via social media,
the Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s as-
sistance in sharing this information. Talk to your
friends, your neighbors, your co-workers and
your parents; let them know this is happening and
let them know its okay to hang up. If you believe
you have been a victim of this scam, you can
report the incident by calling the Dane County
Communications Center non-emergency line at
608-266-4948.

maintain jobs, Attoun said.
She said she asked city as-
sessor Paul Musser how value
would be affected with con-
tinued vacancies. Musser said
the current assessed value was
assuming commercial space
would be filled so another as-
sessment would be needed if
vacancies remained. He said
that would not negatively im-
pact neighboring properties but
could positively impact them if
spaces were filled.
Regarding the possibility of
alternatives for the developer
to consider, Attoun said Mid-
dleton Area Development Cor-
poration mostly does loans but
may consider a grant.
Attoun said the split be-
tween the amount of increment
the developer receives and
what percent the city does is
clear in the agreement.
“When we entered into
the agreement for Middleton
Center we assumed that that
agreement was accounting for
100 percent of value that the
project would generate,” At-
toun said. “If the value turns
out higher than the loan would
pay back, sooner and the city
would have incremental value
in the later years of the TIF.”
Plan commission member
Wayne Pferdehirt asked if the
city has seen the leases or let-
ters of intent from the potential
tenants. Attoun said three of
the four were reviewed by the
city attorney.
Plan commission member
Kurt Paulsen said he was con-
flicted about the situation.
value,” Paulsen said. “The
reason it’s strange is because
had it been in the original pro
forma you would have gener-
ated your $12.5 million in in-
crement and we would not be
here.”
Wall said one of his staff
members who was doing the
pro forma and forgot to list
common area maintenance as
a cost but not a revenue item
and he missed the mistake.
Paulsen asked how the
investors would have also
missed it. Wall said they only
see a summarized version and
would not see that level of
detail. Paulsen said he would
certainly review that if he was
investing in the project.
T. Wall’s legal counsel
Taylor Brengel said that it
could have actually been an
omission by the city’s former
finance director rather than the
developer.
Paulsen asked if Wall would
still be getting a 15 percent
developer’s fee for phase one.
Wall said he never pays him-
self or his company a develop-
er’s fee.
“I’m unusual in that sense
for a developer,” Wall said. “I
never take out the developer’s
fee. I never pay myself or my
company a developer’s fee in
cash, never, it stays in.”
Paulsen said he also had
doubts about whether Middle-
ton Center would generate the
$4.8 million in increment Wall
was projecting. Wall said even
if the mill rate goes down the
value will likely go up.
Mayor Brar asked knowing
ect with the additional TIF
funding. Wall said the assis-
tance would bring about further
prospects to get the rest of the
building leased out. Wall said
he could not come back again
because the project would have
used the full amount on incre-
ment generated.
Pferdehirt asked how the
TIF funding would help future
tenant prospects. Wall said the
money would offset other costs
that could be moved elsewhere.
Paulsen warned that when
the item appears before coun-
cil there may be concern about
Wall lobbying against the in-
terests of the city.
Plan commission and city
council member Dan Ramsey
said he was uncomfortable
with the agreement but would
support it only because the
original agreement said 100
percent of the increment would
go back to the development.
“We had to do a little bit of
mental gymnastics to do that,”
Ramsey said. “I don’t like the
way this has worked out.”
Plan commission member
David Reed said he agreed
but felt approval is inevitable.
“Having said that we need to
get the downtown working and
this gets the downtown work-
ing,” Reed said. “It brings
activity, it brings business, it
brings collateral assistance to
other businesses in the down-
town area, so it is something
we have almost got to do.”
Paulsen made a motion to
recommend approval to the
common council of an in-
creased set amount of devel-

Schmitt turns in final lineup card
Middleton manager steps
down to watch his sons play
BY ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
It was mid-March when
Tom Schmitt saw the light.
Middleton’s long time
baseball manager was in
Winterhaven, Fla., watching
his oldest son Brennan and his
University of Wisconsin-La
Crosse baseball team.
Brennan’s Eagles still had a
handful of games to play. But
Tom Schmitt headed back to
Middleton to coach the 2018
Cardinals, a group that includ-
ed his youngest son, Brady.
It was at that moment,
Schmitt realized his heart was
in two places at once. And that
was a tricky path to navigate.
So last week, after a sen-
sational 16-year run as the
Cardinals’ skipper, Schmitt
resigned.
Brennan Schmitt has two
years left at UW-La Crosse
and Brady will try out for the
Eagles this fall. Now, with a far
more flexible schedule, Tom
Schmitt will be able to see his
two sons first hand instead of
trying to follow their progress
on his phone.
“It’s been a good run, a
really good run,” Schmitt said.
“But I just know I won’t get
those years back if I don’t do
it now.
“A couple of times this year,
I made one of Brennan’s game
after we practiced. But I just
didn’t want to keep juggling
schedules. I gave this (mana-
gerial) job my entire effort and
focus. But with both boys gone
now, it was going to be tough.”
Schmitt had a remark-
Sports
able run with the Cardinals,
going 287-124 overall (.698)
and winning five Big Eight
Conference championships —
including the 2018 crown.
Schmitt led Middleton to
state seven times in 16 years
and guided the Cardinals to the
2003 state title — his first year
at the helm. That remains the
only state title in the history of
the program.
Schmitt’s resignation sent
shockwaves through the pro-
gram from both current and
former players.
“Coach Schmitt resigning is
a tough day for the Middleton
program,” said Shane Adler,
a four-year varsity player at
MHS and a two-time all-state
selection. “He brought an
intensity and focus that you
don’t always find at the high
school level.
“He held his players to a
high standard, which led to a
lot of successful seasons during
his time. He loved the game
and it showed with the way he
coached on the field. He always
expected his players to show
up and give 110%.
“He taught me to never take

FAB FIVE
golfers land
five on the
all-Big 8 team
BY ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
Middleton’s boys’ golf team
had a memorable season.
The Cardinals won the Big
Eight Conference dual meet
title and tied for sixth at the
WIAA Division 1 state tour-
nament.
As a result, all five Cardinals
earned all-conference honors.
Sophomore Kip Sullivan
and senior Andy Zucker were
named first-team all-Big Eight.
Freshman Jacob Beckman,
sophomore Carson Frisch and
sophomore Tommy Kriewaldt
were all named second-team
all-league.
To figure a golfers’ score,
the Big Eight Conference cal-
culated:
• Three conference match
scores vs. course rating.
• Three at large, non-confer-
ence invites vs. course rating.
• The Big Eight Conference
Tournament (mandatory) vs.
course rating.
For example, if a golfer shot
a 75 and the course rating was
71.1, the number for that match
would be 3.9.
Using that formula, Zucker
was the No. 2 player in the
conference and Sullivan was
No. 5. Frisch finished No. 7
in the league, while Beckman
was No. 9 and Kriewaldt was
No. 10.
Overall, Sullivan finished
the year with a 77.77 average,
while Frisch’s average was
78.67. Zucker’s average was
79.06, Sullivan averaged 79.60
and Kriewaldt’s average was
80.13.
Of that group, only Zucker
will be lost to graduation.

Bombers hold off Middleton
29ers’ late rally falls just short
BY ADAM HATLAN
For the Times-Tribune
Marcus Caminiti did it all
for the Black Earth Bombers on
Sunday afternoon.
Caminiti threw seven
innings, played right field for
an inning and returned to the
mound for the final inning of
the game. Caminiti also batted
six times in a game played in
100-degree heat.
Whew!
Caminiti and the Bombers
survived the heat and a mighty
ninth-inning rally by the
Middleton 29ers, escaping with
a 12-9 win at Sorenson-Bakken
Field in Middleton in a Northern
Section Home Talent game.
The Bombers improved to
4-4 in the Northern Section’s
East Division and moved with-
in 1½ games of first-place
Middleton, which fell to 5-2.
Black Earth totaled 14 hits
in the game and had five bat-
ters with multiple hits. The
Bombers’ seventh, eighth and
ninth hitters — Ryan Hering,
Tyler Krause and Danny
Watkins — went a combined
6-for-12, reaching base a total
of 11 times.
“We came out and tattooed
the ball today,” said Black Earth
manager Eric Duhr. “Some of
the bottom of the order guys
have been at the top for us.
We’re trying to find a little
rhythm to our lineup, but I’ve
got confidence in this lineup one
through nine.”
Caminiti was a workhorse
on the mound, notching the win
while hurling an astounding
147 pitches (94 strikes) over
7⅔ innings. Between the two
appearances, he allowed four
runs (three earned) on 11 hits
and struck out three.
After the game, Caminiti
said his arm was a little tired,
but joked and said it wasn’t
going to fall off.
“I practice throwing a lot of
pitches,” Caminiti said. “As far
as the heat, I prefer working in
the warmer weather. My arm
feels pretty good.”
Duhr said he debated bring-
ing Caminiti back in after he
had already thrown 127 pitches.
But after getting the thumbs up
from Caminiti, Duhr went back
to his original starter to close
out the game.
“It’s unbelievable,” Duhr
said. “I can’t believe I (brought
him back in), but I have to trust
my players. For him to gut it
out and come back in a second
time after that long of a break is
unreal, unheard of.”
Middleton manager Brandon
Hellenbrand was impressed
with Caminiti’s outing.
“He’s a bulldog,”
Hellenbrand said. “We knew he
was tired when he came back in,
but he’s a strong kid and he’s
going to go out there and give
it his all the whole time. That’s
what you want out of a ballplay-
er — a guy that’s willing do do
anything for you to win.”
The Bombers roughed up
Middleton starter Jeff Schafer
early and often, knocking the
veteran lefty out of the game
after three innings of work.
Schafer allowed 10 runs (five
earned) on 12 hits and took the
loss for the 29ers.
Middleton’s defense didn’t
help Schafer either, committing
seven errors for the game.
“We came off (our most
recent) game where we had
five or six (errors), and hoped
we had gotten them all out of
our system,” Hellenbrand said.
“Errors have really just been an
issue the last two games. Good
teams bounce back. We’ll see
how the guys react.”
Middleton got a strong effort
from hard-throwing relief pitch-
er Tyler Christensen, who is
in his first year with the 29ers,
and from catcher Kevin Dubler,
who was playing in his first
Sunday league game after being
out a month with a shoulder
injury.
Christensen threw 5 1/3
innings in relief while allowing
one earned run on two hits and
striking out four. Dubler started
at designated hitter and reached
base five times, going 3-for-4
with a home run.
“Dubler is a difference-mak-
er at the plate and everybody
around the league knows it,”
Hellenbrand said. “Tyler
stepped up big today. He kept
us in the game.”
Middleton made things inter-
esting in the ninth inning.
Down 12-4, Middleton sent
11 batters to the plate, scored
five runs, and sent the win-
ning run to the plate. The
29ers knocked out reliever Rob
Capener after he failed to record
an out as the first six batters of
the ninth reached base.
That’s when Duhr made the
decision to go back to Caminiti
to try closing out the very game
he had started. Needing 20
pitches to get the final three
outs, Caminiti got Josh Hinson
to ground out with the bases
loaded to end the game. Hinson
represented the winning run
and had already homered off
of Caminiti earlier in the game.
“I had it in my mind I was
going to throw strikes, not walk
anybody,” Caminiti said. “I was
just hoping to throw something
off-speed to (Hinson) and hope
he didn’t crush one of off me.”
Caminiti hit a run-scoring
single in the first for Black
Earth to score Capener, who
had led off the game reaching
on a Middleton error, to give the
Bombers a 1-0 lead.
Black Earth broke the game
open in the top of the second,
scoring five runs on five hits
while taking advantage of two
more Middleton errors. Hering,
Krause, and Watkins started
the inning with hits. Watkins
and Tony Caminiti each had
run-scoring hits, while two
of the runs scored courtesy
of Middleton mishaps to give
Black Earth a 6-0 lead.
Middleton strung together
four straight hits with two outs
in the bottom of the second.
Drew Farrell scored to make
it 6-1 on an RBI single by

win, but admitted Middleton is

7. ITEMS FOR INFORMATION/DISCUS-
SION
a. Youth Center Presentation
Rebecca Price and Gabrielle Hinahara
from the City of Middleton shared an update
on the Youth Center. The Youth Center pro-
gram focus is to develop relationships with
the adults and students. They provide aca-
demic support, hands on enrichment activi-
ties, summer programs, and partners with
the district on the free food summer pro-
gram. Gabrielle reported on the staffing for
the program. Participation has been grow-
ing steadily since the Youth Center
reopened. She also shared demographic
information and funding sources for the pro-
gram. The board asked several questions.
b. 2018-19 Enrollment Update
Sherri Cyra updated the board on project-
ed enrollment. She stated that there are no
big changes to report at this time.
c. 2018-19 Budget Update
George discussed the budget information
and stated that nothing has changed in rev-
enues and assumptions. George reviewed
several changes that have occurred since
the last meeting. Administration is using the
savings on insurance to raise the salary
schedule for teachers and provide a 2.7%
increase for all other staff. These are the
most current planning assumptions. There
were some questions asked by board mem-
bers.
d. Facilities Planning Discussion
The board briefly reviewed the prelimi-
nary design and construction schedule. This
was presented in April prior to the survey
results. The estimated fee is $135,000-

cussed the attached information. There
were several other discussion points before
moving into the action item.

Water System Information
If you would like to know more about the information contained in this report, please contact Jerry Gray at (608) 235-1054.
Opportunity for input on decisions affecting your water quality
Monthly meeting held on 4th Monday of each month at 7 p.m. at the Cross Plains Village Hall located at 2417 Brewery Rd., Cross Plains, WI 53528.
Health Information
Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses
a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency’s safe drinking water hotline (800-426-4791).
Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who
have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune systems disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about
drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the
Environmental Protection Agency’s safe drinking water hotline (800-426-4791).

To obtain a summary of the source water assessment please contact, Jerry Gray at (608) 235-1054.
Educational Information
The sources of drinking water, both tap water and bottled water, include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it
dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity.
Contaminants that may be present in source water include:
• Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations and wildlife.
• Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally- occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining
or farming.
• Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff and residential uses.
• Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban
stormwater runoff and septic systems.
• Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities.
In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations that limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. FDA regulations establish limits for
contaminants in bottled water, which shall provide the same protection for public health.
Definitions
Term Definition
AL Action Level: The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow.
Level 1 A Level 1 assessment is a study of the water system to identify potential problems and determine, if possible, why total coliform bacteria have been found in our
Assessment water system.
Level 2 A Level 2 assessment is a very detailed study of the water system to identify potential problems and determine, if possible, why an E. coli MCL violation has occurreed
Assessment or why total coliform bacteria have been found in our water system, or both, on mulitiple occasions.
MCL Maximum Contaminant Level: The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment
technology.
MCLG Maximum Contaminant Level Goal: The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety.
MFL million fibers per liter
MRDL Maximum residual disinfectant level: The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of
microbial contaminants.
MRDLG Maximum residual disinfectant level goal: The level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the
use of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants.
mrem/year millirems per year (a measure of radiation absorbed by the body)
NTU Nephelometric Turbidity Units
pCi/l picocuries per liter (a measure of radioactivity)
ppm parts per million, or milligrams per liter (mg/l)

TCR Total Coliform Rule
TT Treatment Technique: A required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water.
Detected Contaminants
Your water was tested for many contaminants last year. We are allowed to monitor for some contaminants less frequently than once a year. The following tables list only those contaminants which were
detected in your water. If a contaminant was detected last year, it will appear in the following tables without a sample date. If the contaminant was not monitored last year, but was detected within the last 5
years, it will appear in the tables below along with the sample date.

Additional Health Information

Nitrate in drinking water at levels above 10 ppm is a health risk for infants of less than 6 months of age. High nitrate levels in drinking water can cause blue baby syndrome. Nitrate levels may rise quick-
ly for short periods of time because of rainfall or agricultural activity. If you are caring for an infant you shoould ask advice from your health care provider.
If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with
service lines and home plumbing. Mazomanie Waterworks is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water
has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about
lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water
Hotline or at www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.

SCHMITT continued from page 8

I can call on about anything “Everybody wants it as a

in life and I know he will give
me good advice. I’m thankful
that I had the chance to play
for him.”
Schmitt, a 1985 graduate of
Columbus High School, was
a standout for the Cardinals.
After Schmitt graduated from
UW-Oshkosh, he began teach-
ing in the Middleton-Cross
Plains district.
Schmitt became
Middleton’s JV coach in 1993
and he held that position for 10
years. When Mike Zimmerman
stepped down as the Cardinals’
varsity coach in 2002, Schmitt
took over and experienced
immediate success.
With an aggressive style and
a star-studded team, Schmitt
led Middleton to the 2003
WIAA Division 1 state cham-
pionship.
“As far as winning a state
championship, there’s not too
many better feelings than that,”
Schmitt said. “I don’t know if
I have a special team or a top
highlight that stands out more
than others. But when you win
it all, that’s pretty special.”
One of Middleton’s
strengths under Schmitt was its
