School Board Votes on $138.9 Million Referendum for November Ballot

BY CAMERON BREN
Times-Tribune
MIDDLETON–The Middle-
ton-Cross Plains Area Board of
Education approved two refer-
endum questions asking tax-
payers to fund a $138.9 million
for facility expansion projects
and a recurring annual $4.8
million for operations.
After several years of record
enrollment, the school board
convened a facility planning
committee in September 2016
to explore options for expand-
ing existing facilities or build-
ing new ones. The plan going
before voters on November 6
includes additions at two build-
ings and a new elementary
school.
Superintendent George Mav-
roulis reviewed the breakdown
of the cost before the board’s
vote. Of the $138,900,000
total, $33,860,000 would go to
constructing a new elementary
school on district owned land
adjacent to Pope Farms Con-
servancy, $100,170,000 would

The estimated net increase in

Common Council Approves Solar Field at Airport

BY KEVIN MURPHY
Times-Tribune
MIDDLETON–What would
be the state’s largest solar array,
a five-megawatt installation at
the Middleton Municipal Air-
port, was considered on July
17 by the Middleton Common
Council.
The council was asked to
approve a 22-acre lease with
OneEnergy Development, LLC
that would locate the photo-vol-
taic array north of the main
runaway at Morey Field. The
council approved the project at
their regular meeting on Tues-
day night.
The solar project can gen-
erate more than nine-million
kilowatt hours of electricity
annually, several times more
than 1.5 million kilowatt hours
the city’s municipal buildings
and streetlights consume, and
$450,000 in revenue for the air-
port during the 26-year lease,
said Eric Udelhofen, OneEner-
gy’s director of project devel-
opment,
The city’s Sustainability
Committee and Airport Com-
mission previously approved
the concept and the lease, re-
spectively.
Udelhofen, who assisted the
city with the solar array on the
roof of the Municipal Opera-
tions Center, said the airport lo-
cation is suitable site for a small
solar farm.
“It’s not a buildable site for

Shop ‘n Blues Planned for Next Week
BY MICHELLE PHILLIPS
Times-Tribune
MIDDLETON–If the idea
of ending a day of shopping at
local businesses, followed by
a blues band and dinner ap-
peals to you, you won’t want
to miss Shop ‘n Blues. The
Downtown Middleton Busi-
ness Association (DMBA)
will host their Third Annual
Downtown Middleton Shop ‘n
Blues event on July 26 from 7
a.m.-8 p.m.
Event organizer Marilyn
Burke said the event came to
be after the group’s annual
Beach Party event became
defunct. “We used to have
the DMBA Beach Party, but
it just did not get the response
we were hoping for,” Burke
explained. “I proposed the
event three years ago.”
Burke said the majority of
downtown businesses will be
airport,” he said.
Airports are becoming more
frequently considered for
solar arrays, Udelhofen said.
Dane County Regional Air-
port is planning on siting an
eight-megawatt solar array and
the Federal Aviation Admin-
istration is reviewing about a
dozen other solar projects pro-
posed at airports.
Electricity generated at
MMA solar array would be
sent through an underground
line around the main runway
to a MG&E transmission line
along Airport Road.
“It would all be done under-
ground,” Udelhofen said.
The city is interested in buying
the electricity. It could contact
through MG&E’s Renewable
participating in Shop ‘n Blues.
She added that the reason
for the event is to highlight
the businesses of downtown
Middleton. “These events are
about all of the businesses in
downtown Middleton; cre-
ating events to bring people
downtown and showcase all
the fabulous businesses that
we have here,” she said. “I
love events that are to pro-
mote the downtown. This one
is a very inspiring one to me,
and the DMBA agreed–it is
so much fun for everyone that
attends.”
Restaurants and retailers
will offer specials and sales
and the Jimmys will begin
playing at 4 p.m. Burke ex-
plained, “During the day the
restaurants will have various
specials and the retailers will
be having sidewalk sales of
their spring/summer items. At
around 2 p.m. we will be clos-
Energy Rider program to pro-
vide renewable energy for
municipal operations. MG&E
gave preliminary indications
last month to the Sustainability
Committee that it could pro-
vide electricity from the airport
array at roughly the same 7.4
cents per kilowatt hour it cur-
rently charges the city. Impor-
tantly, the cost would be fixed
over an extended time period,
according to a July 11 memo
from Abby Attoun, director of
Community Development.
The city would cover some
costs associated with generat-
ing and distributing the power
to city-owned buildings and
streetlights.
OneEnergy could eventually
sell the array to MG&E, said
ing off Elmwood Avenue to
set-up for the blues band, the
Jimmys, who will be playing
that night from 4-8 p.m.”
The Jimmys are a Mad-
ison area, blues band and
won Blues Band of the Year
at the annual Madison Area
Music Awards (MAMA) this
year. Band members Jimmy
Voegeli and Mike Boman also
won 2018 MAMAs, Voegeli,
Keyboardist of the Year and
Boman, Brass-Trumpet of the
Year.
Burke said restaurants will
also offer to go specials for
those who want to have din-
ner while they watch the band,
which is returning for its third
year. There is no charge for
the band, and picnic tables
will be provided for seating,
but guests may also bring a
lawn chair.

The FAA has the project
under review. It has been con-

School Supply Drive
MIDDLETON–The Middle-
ton Cross Plains Times-Tribune
has teamed up with Middleton
Outreach Ministries (MOM) to
sponsor a school supply drive
benefiting the charitable orga-
nization’s Back to School pro-
gram. Last year the program
provided backpacks full of sup-
plies to 800 children in need.
“We know that many fam-
ilies struggle with the lengthy
list of supplies their kids need
for school each year. The
Times-Tribune would like to
help alleviate some of the fi-
nancial burden by hosting this
community wide school supply
drive,” said Times-Tribune Ed-
itor Michelle Phillips. “MOM
provides a tremendous service
in the community, and we want
to help them to help more stu-
dents.”
The school supplies will be
distributed to students in the
Middleton-Cross Plains school
district and can be dropped off
at one of four locations: Middle-

Pleasant View Golf Committee Pleased with New Roundabout Design

BY KEVIN MURPHY
Times-Tribune
MIDDLETON–A redrawn
roundabout proposed for the
widening of Pleasant View
Road at Greenway Boulevard
largely quieted fears Monday
the golf course committee had
about the road encroaching on
the course.
“This roundabout no lon-
ger gives us heartburn as it fits
within the (footprint) as the
(traffic) signals would,” said
Kelsey Skogland, a member
of the Golf Course Advisory
Committee.
Brian Andreas, a project
engineer with Strand Associ-
ates, showed the committee
drawings of a roundabout lo-
cated further east of the one
presented at an information
meeting last month. The com-
mittee criticized that design as
making Hole #2 of the Lakes
Course “unplayable” and likely
to negatively impact other holes
as well.
“We should have tried this
design from the start, I guess,”
Andreas said.
Pleasant View Golf Course’s
General Manager Jeremy
Cabalka also liked the design
but said Hole #2 would still
have to be moved west to ac-
commodate a multi-use path
that will extend along the west
side of Pleasant View Road.
“We’ll see what the architect
says,” Cabalka added, referring
to a consultant that will be hired
to assess the impact a four-lane
Pleasant View Road would
have on the course.
The committee preferred in-
stalling signals at the intersec-
tion and as it would take up less
golf course land, while the Pub-
lic Works Committee and Plan
Commission had recommended
roundabouts instead.
Andreas acknowledged
that new roundabout design
cuts close to a parking lot for
an office development and an
apartment complex, separated
by Greenway Boulevard on the
road’s east side. But the design
of the three-legged roundabout
“works well” for traffic, he said.
Roundabouts don’t accom-
modate pedestrians crossing
intersections as safely as traffic
signals, said Andreas.
Janet Lord, a committee
member said, to expect more
cyclists in addition to walkers
using the area.
Committee chair Tom Scott
asked it this roundabout design
is likely to survive the rest of
the planning process.
The design phase of the
$28.1 million project that ex-
pands Pleasant View Road to
four lanes from US 14 south
to Mineral Point Roadd is 30
percent completed, said An-
dreas. A lack of objections to a
roundabout should advance it to
the final design stage slated for
next summer.
“This (design) doesn’t harm
the golf course any more than

signals would,” said Scott.
“I’m getting happier with it,
but (also) want to see what the
consultant says.”
Widening of the road is
scheduled to begin in 2021 and
work south from US 14 to Gre-
enway Boulevard.
A retaining wall will need
to be built along the south east
corner of the golf course prop-
erty where Hole #2 of the Lakes
Course is located. An eight-
foot-tall wall would hold back
the slope of the property and
accommodate a new multi-use
path that would extend along
the course’s eastern boundary,
Andreas said.
The new roundabout de-
sign and using a retaining wall
could lessen encroachment on
the course by 30 feet or more at
Hole #2, compared to the previ-
ous design, said Andreas.
Hole #2 would be about 60
feet from the retaining wall,

still too close for comfort, Scott
said. “But there’s room to move
it west,” he said of the hole.
American Transmission
Company is planning on re-
building their power line, also
along the west side of Pleasant
View Road with taller, fewer
and more widely space poles
giving planners a little more
room to work with, he said.
The city intends to hire a golf
course architect this summer to
assess the effect a roundabout
and traffic signals at Greenway
Boulevard would have on the
golf course and provide recom-
mendations to mitigate or avoid
adverse impacts on the course’s
operations and profitability.
The report would be due within
90 of hiring the consultant.

Upcoming Primary Candidates and Voter Information

BY MATT GEIGER
Times-Tribune
WISCONSIN–Local voters
will head the polls August 14
to take part in one of the most
significant primary elections
in Wisconsin in years. While
voter turnout in primaries, even
important ones, is traditionally
very low, the outcome of this
election will play a key role in
deciding who the state’s next
governor is, as well as shaping
a variety of other important
races.
This is a partisan primary,
which means you may only
vote in one party’s races–ei-
ther Democratic, Republican,
Libertarian, Green or Constitu-
tion. If you choose a party and
vote in races for more than one
party, only those votes in your
selected party will be counted.
If you do not choose a party
and vote in multiple parties’
races, none of your votes will
be counted.
The Republican Primary
In the Republican Primary,
incumbent Governor Scott
Walker will be challenged by
Robert Meyer, who calls him-
self a “different kind of conser-
vative” from the one currently
in office: “I’ll lead Wisconsin
government back to provid-
ing the most people with the
greatest opportunities,” Mey-
er’s campaign stated. “The Re-
publican Progressives wrested
did in the previous regular elec-
tion. According to the Milwau-
kee Journal Sentinel, the cost
of the recall elections for the
governor and lieutenant gover-
nor to Wisconsin taxpayers was
$18 million.
In 2014, Walker had another
strong showing on Election
Day, beating Democratic chal-
lenger Mary Burke by close to
six percentage points and earn-
ing another four years in office.
Much of Walker’s recent
campaign activity has been fo-
cused on Foxconn, a Taiwan-
ese manufacturer’s plant being
lured to Wisconsin with up to
$4.5 billion in state and local
tax money. President Donald
Trump and Walker recently
campaigned together at the fu-
ture site of the plant in Racine
County, which both touted as
proof of Wisconsin’s economic
growth.
Also, in the Republican Pri-
mary, Lieutenant Governor Re-
becca Kleefisch and Attorney
General Brad Schimel will run
unopposed.
Jay Schroeder and Spencer
Zimmerman will face one an-
other for Secretary of State.
Travis Hartwig and Jill
Millies will square off in the
Republican State Treasurer Pri-
mary.
At the congressional level,
five Republicans will battle
in the U.S. Senate Primary:
candidates.
The gubernatorial candidates
on the Democratic ballot are
Andy Gronik, an entrepreneur
and business consultant who
suspended his campaign and
endorsed Kelda Helen Roys;
Matt Flynn, a Navy veteran,
attorney, and former Chair of
the Democratic Party of Wis-
consin; Tony Evers, the state
Superintendent of Public In-
struction; Josh Pade, an attor-
ney; Mike McCabe, founder
and president of Blue Jean
Nation, a grassroots group
“dedicated to getting regular
people in the driver’s seat” of
government; Mahlon Mitchell,
President of the Fire Fighters of
Wisconsin; Kelda Helen Roys,
an entrepreneur, attorney, and
former Democratic member of
the Wisconsin State Assem-
bly; Paul R. Soglin, the longest
serving mayor in Madison’s
history; Kathleen Vinehout, a
farmer and State Senator; and
Dana Wachs, who suspended
his campaign and endorsed
Tony Evers.
Kurt J. Kober and Mandela
Barnes will face one another
in the Democratic Primary for
Lieutenant Governor.
Democrat Josh call will run
unopposed for Attorney Gen-
eral.
Doug La Follette and Arvina
Martin will face off for Secre-
tary of State.
derson will run for Lieutenant
Governor.
The Constitution Party Pri-
mary
In the Constitution Party Pri-
mary, Terry Larson will run for
Attorney General and Andrew
Zuelke will run for State Trea-
surer.
How the primary works
A primary election is an elec-
tion in which registered voters
select a candidate that they be-
lieve should be a political par-
ty’s candidate for elected office
to run in the general election.
They are also used to choose
convention delegates and party
leaders. Primaries are state-
level and local-level elections
that take place prior to a gen-
eral election. Wisconsin utilizes
an open primary system; regis-
tered voters do not have to be
members of a party to vote in
that party’s primary.
Poll times
In Wisconsin, all polls are
open from 7 a.m.-8 p.m. Cen-
tral Time. An individual who
is in line at the time polls close
must be allowed to vote.
Registration requirements
To register to vote in Wis-
consin, one must be a citizen
of the United States and a res-
ident of Wisconsin for at least
10 days prior to the election.
A voter must be at least 18
years of age. One can regis-
ter by mailing a form to his or
her local municipal clerk. An
individual can also register in
person at the municipal clerk’s
office. If registering by mail,
the application must be post-
marked no later than 20 days
before the election. In-person
registration must be completed
by 5 p.m. on the Friday before
Election Day. Same-day voter
registration is also available, as
long as the registrant provides
proof of residency at the polls.
Online registration
You may register vote online
at myvote.wi.gov. To register
online, the voter must enter
a name, date of birth, Driver
License or ID number, and an
address that matches what is on
file with the Wisconsin DMV.
If all of the fields match, the
voter will be able to register to
vote completely online without
needing to print, sign or mail
the form and without needing to
send a proof of residence docu-
ment. Voters who are not able
to match their information with
the information in the DMV
database will be given the op-
tion to register by mail. Online
registration began in Wisconsin
in 2017.
Voter ID requirements
Voters in Wisconsin are re-
quired to present photo iden-
tification at the polls. A bill
requiring voters to present
photo identification at the polls
was introduced in the Wiscon-
sin State Legislature in January
2011. Governor Scott Walker
signed the bill into law on May
25, 2011. A series of legal chal-
lenges followed. On March 23,
2015, the Supreme Court of the
United States declined to hear
a challenge against the law, al-
lowing the photo identification
requirement to take full effect.
Early voting
Wisconsin permits no-ex-
cuse early voting. Early voting
permits citizens to cast ballots
in person at a polling place
prior to an election. In states
that permit no-excuse early
voting, a voter does not have
to provide an excuse for being
unable to vote on Election Day.
Absentee voting
All voters are eligible to vote
absentee in Wisconsin. There
are no special eligibility re-
quirements for voting absentee.
To vote absentee, an applica-
tion must be received by the
municipal clerk no later than
5 p.m. on the Thursday before
Election Day. If mailed through
the U.S. Postal Service, a re-
turned absentee ballot must be
postmarked no later than Elec-
tion Day and received by the
municipal clerk no later than
4 p.m. on the Friday after the
election. For other means of
delivery, the completed ballot
must be delivered to the munic-
ipal clerk no later than 8 p.m.
on Election Day.

Wisconsin Idea. That’s our her-

said it is time to move on from
the right’s “narrow Libertarian
faction worldview.”
After eight years in office,
Walker is both a veteran gov-
ernor and an experienced cam-
paigner. On January 3, 2011,
Walker was first inaugurated
as the 45th Governor of Wis-
consin. One of his first reforms,
Act 10, proved to be one of the
most controversial and divisive
bills in recent memory in the
state. Walker touted the bill,
saying it helped eliminate the
state’s $3.6 billion budget defi-
cit, but the act also effectively
broke up public employee
unions in Wisconsin, prompt-
ing widespread protests and an
ultimately unsuccessful recall
election in which Democrats
spent in excess of $23 million
yet lost by a sizeable margin.
The recall elections were
the most expensive elections
in Wisconsin history, costing
more than twice what the reg-
ular gubernatorial election cost.
Despite protests and spending,
Walker managed to win by an
even wider margin (around 7
percent) in the recall than he
will run unopposed in the
state’s District 27 Legislative
Primary.
The Democratic Primary
Democrats, who have been
widely unsuccessful in gain-
ing or retaining seats in recent
years in Wisconsin, appear to
be hopeful that they can finally
defeat state Republicans by
force of sheer volume of candi-
dates. On the Democratic side,
10 people, narrowed down from
an even more crowded field a
few weeks ago, are on the bal-
lot in the gubernatorial primary.
But two of them (Andy Gronik
and Dana Wachs), despite ap-
pearing on the ballot, have re-
cently dropped out of the race,

Gubernatorial Democrat Candidates Address Issues at Reedsburg Forum

BY HEATHER STANEK
Reedsburg Independent
REEDSBURG–Several
Democratic candidates for Wis-
consin’s gubernatorial race at-
tended a forum on the afternoon
of July 8 in Reedsburg.
They talked about such topics
as FoxConn, agriculture, educa-
tion and road conditions during
the forum, which was hosted
by Reedsburg Area Concerned
Citizens.
Those who attended in-
cluded candidates Matt Flynn,
Mike McCabe, Josh Pade, Paul
Soglin, Kelda Roys and Kath-
leen Vinehout.
Michael Crute of the Dev-
il’s Advocate Radio served as
moderator and pointed out that
candidates received questions
several days in advance. Due to
time constraints, not every can-
didate received the same ques-
tion, and candidates had two
minutes to respond.
Crute said questions were
submitted by the public prior to
the forum.
FoxConn
One of the most talked-about
issues of the day was the Fox-
Conn deal, in which a Taiwan-
ese company wants to build
a manufacturing facility in
Mount Pleasant. Critics have
condemned the project, which
includes $4 billion in taxpay-
er-funded subsidies and con-
cerns that created jobs won’t go
to Wisconsinites.
Flynn called it “that crooked
FoxConn deal” and said he
worries that it will create
low-paying work and pollute
the environment. He wondered
why Governor Scott Walker,
a Republican, didn’t give the
subsidies to Wisconsin-based
businesses instead. If elected,
he would stop the deal through
court action.
Vinehout said Wisconsin has
too many people who can barely
make ends meet, yet FoxConn
received $4 billion in incen-
tives. The state should be help-
ing its own people, she said.
“Our priorities are upside
down,” Vinehout said.
Roys, who said she is a small
business owner, saw the deal
as “a slap in the face” to her-
self and other Wisconsin en-
trepreneurs. She said she has
diligently followed the rules and
paid taxes and doesn’t believe
it’s fair for one company to get
a free pass.
McCabe echoed the state-
ment, “corporate welfare,” and
called it a poor approach to
economics. He said Wisconsin
would be better served support-
ing lots of different businesses
and people rather than giving
billions to one.
Street work
Roads are in disrepair, which
is discouraging to motorists and
entrepreneurs, Pade said. He
wants to see a sustainable 10
to 20-year plan for road main-
tenance and upkeep so com-
munities don’t have to choose
between filling pot holes and
fixing roads.
Flynn favored reindexing the
gas tax and giving control back
to local transportation authori-
ties. He said he does not support
toll roads because they require
additional administration costs,
and those expenses don’t justify
the effort.
Adjusting the gas tax for in-
flation could help, said McCabe.
He said he also supports fees on
heavier trucks that cause more
damage.
Under Vinehout’s plan, the
gas tax would be increased by
five cents and indexed for in-
flation. She said motorists are
using more fuel-efficient cars
and more people are driving hy-
brids so the increase shouldn’t
be too painful. But the tax alone
won’t solve the problem, and
she suggested the state charge
$10 per car on its rail line. She
said Wisconsin owns 624 miles
of rail line.
She said it’s too late to back-
pedal and ask for federal fund-
ing again for a high-speed rail.
Under President Barack Obama,
Walker declined $810 million in
federal dollars for the project.
“We can’t take the rail money
because that train has already
left the station,” she said.
Money and politics

big money in politics, Roys said If elected, Roys said she’d “What happens to a commu- addiction treatment and sobriety

can find it quickly. The bag should include a pet
first aid kit; enough food and bottled water for a
week (rotate this every couple of months to keep
it from going bad); medications (check periodi-
cally to ensure medicines in your emergency bag
don’t expire); cleanup supplies; food and water
dishes; bags (or litter for cats) for collecting
waste; an extra collar and leash; photocopies of
medical records; towels; recent photos of your
pets; and a favorite toy or chewy for comfort. It’s
also a good idea to have a sturdy carrier or crate
for each pet.
“What’s good for us is good for our pets,” said
Kris Kiser, president and CEO of the Outdoor
Power Equipment Institute (OPEI), the interna-
tional trade association representing more than
100 power equipment, engine and utility vehicle
manufacturers and suppliers. “My dog Lucky the
TurfMutt is a member of the family, so we have
a plan for keeping him safe in the event of an
emergency, and we encourage all pet parents to
do the same.”
By having all this in place, you can immedi-
ately put your pet preparedness plan into action
when you know a storm is coming instead of
spending valuable time trying to determine what
needs to be done to best protect your pet.

Changing of the guard

Pertzborn will be co-head
football coach in 2018;
could run program by 2019
BY ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
It was mid-December, when
Middleton head football coach
Tim Simon called a meeting
with offensive coordinator
Jason Pertzborn.
Pertzborn was a finalist for
the Madison Memorial head
coaching job. And after days
of contemplation, examina-
tion and introspection, Simon
had an idea that would keep
Pertzborn inside the program
he’s been part of for more than
three decades.
Simon, set to begin his 15th
season as the Cardinals’ boss
next month, wanted to elevate
Pertzborn to the position of
co-head coach for the 2018
season. Then if everything goes
smoothly this fall, Pertzborn
could become Middleton’s
head coach in 2019 — and
beyond.
“It was a huge surprise and I
really appreciate it,” Pertzborn
said. “It’s certainly not some-
thing Tim had to do. When I
went to talk to him that day,
that was the farthest thing from
my mind. I wasn’t ready for
that.”
Truth be told, though,
Pertzborn has been ready to
run his own program for sev-
eral years now. Pertzborn, a
1990 Middleton graduate and
former football and basketball
standout at MHS, has worked
his way up through the coach-
ing ranks and guided one of
the area’s top offenses the last
five years.
And in a selfless move rarely
seen in coaching circles, Simon
sacrificed his own position so
Pertzborn wouldn’t have to go
elsewhere to become a head
coach.
“If you think about it, Jason’s
a Middleton grad,” Simon said.
“He teaches in Middleton and
lives in Middleton. His kids
go to school in the Middleton-
Cross Plains district. He
shouldn’t have to go some-
where else to coach.
“It was definitely an internal
struggle. I had a lot of restless
nights, but at the end of the
day, I just felt like this was
the right thing to do. And we

Middleton’s head coach by 2019. said Pertzborn, who was
Middleton’s starting quarter-
back those two years. “And
those games stay with you for-
ever.”
Pertzborn has long been part
of the fabric and tradition of
Middleton football. And now,
his imprint will be embedded
even deeper.
Pertzborn, who’s been part
of Middleton’s coaching staff
since 2002 and the Cardinals’
offensive coordinator since
2013, will serve as MHS’
co-head coach this season with
Tim Simon. If things go well,
Pertzborn could transition into
the head coaching position
beginning in 2019.

Middleton rolls past Cross Plains

Reedsburg
BY ADAM HATLAN
For the Times-Tribune
The Middleton 29ers have
been on a roll lately.
If there is one thing oppos-
ing Home Talent League
teams know about facing a
red-hot 29ers’ team, it’s that if
you give them an inch, they’ll
take a mile.
Cross Plains gave
Middleton too many inches
and paid for it on Sunday, as
the 29ers rolled to a 14-5 win.
Middleton improved to
11-2 on the year, while Cross
Plains fell to 5-8 and now sits
six games behind the first-
place 29ers in the standings.
Middleton capitalized on
Cross Plains miscues through-
out the game. Cross Plains’
pitchers and defense gave
Middleton’s offense 12 free
bases in the game — eight
walks, two hit batters and two
errors — which proved costly
in the outcome.
“We took the lead early
and we had control,” said
Middleton manager Brandon
Hellenbrand. “Brady (Schmitt)
did a great job keeping us in
the game, Tyler came in and
kept them where we needed
to, and Hunter and Drew shut
the door at the end.”
Hellenbrand was refer-
encing his pitching staff,
including former Middleton
Cardinal standout pitcher
Brady Schmitt, who was mak-
ing his first career start for
the 29ers. Schmitt ran into
some trouble in the fifth and
was relieved by hard-throwing
righty Tyler Christensen, who
was then relieved by Hunter
Bindl and Drew Farrell to fin-
ish the game.
Schmitt, who logged five
innings in a relief stint July 6 at
Sauk Prairie, threw 100 pitch-
es (58 strikes) in his Sunday
start, allowing five hits over
4 innings. Christensen picked
up the win for Middleton,
allowing one hit and no runs
over 2 innings. Bindl and
Farrell threw an inning apiece,
allowing a combined three
hits.
“(Brady) is not going to
blow it by anybody, but he’s
going to spot up and he’s
going to work his off-speed
stuff in there,” Hellenbrand
said. “Today he was able
to keep them off balance.
(Brady) gave us four scoreless
innings to start the game ... he
kept us in the game, and that’s
all we can ask for from our
starting pitcher.”
Middleton scored 14
runs on 14 hits. Andrew
Zimmerman went 4-for-5 with
four RBI to lead the 29ers
at the plate. Zimmerman has

been one of Middleton’s hot-
test hitters lately according to
Hellenbrand.
“Last week Andrew hit
a grand slam and a two-run
home run for us. He’s swing-
ing the bat well,” Hellenbrand
said. “Nobody is probably
better around the league right
now.”
Zimmerman remained
modest.
“The ball was looking good
coming in today,” Zimmerman
said. “I’m seeing the ball well.
Just hit it where it’s pitched.”
Shane Murphy started and
took the loss for Cross Plains,
allowing four runs on just one
hit, but issued five walks and
hit two batters through three

innings. Cross Plains used five
pitchers for the game.
“Our pitchers, especial-
ly our starting pitcher, just
didn’t have control today,”
said Cross Plains manager
Randy Meinholz. “We had an
error and a play I thought
should have been made, and
just like that we’re down eight
to nothing. It’s tough to beat
Middleton any day, but if
you get behind, it’s just about
impossible.”

in the third and scored three
runs, despite recording just
one hit. Brandon Scheidler led
off with a single and scored
after three straight walks to
Schafer, Brennan Schmitt,
and Dubler. Zimmerman got
hit by a pitch with the bases
loaded two batters later, earn-
ing the painful RBI to score
Schafer. Alan Roden added a
bases loaded, RBI-groundout
to score Schmitt and make it
4-0 after three innings.
Middleton erupted for
four runs in the fifth to
break the game open. After
Brennan Schmitt reached on
an error, Dubler, Hinson, and
Zimmerman recorded singles,
with Schmitt scoring on the
Hinson single and Dubler
scoring on the Zimmerman
single. Hinson scored on a
Roden sacrifice fly, and
Zimmerman scored on a Drew
Farrell sacrifice fly to make it
8-0 headed to the bottom of
the fifth.
Cross Plains made things
interesting in the bottom of
the fifth. Kenny Allen reached
on a fielder’s choice, fol-
lowed by singles from Luke
Ballweg, Will Doherty, and
Ryan Pulvermacher. Allen
scored on the Doherty single
and Ballweg scored on the
Pulvermacher single.
Drew Meinholz drew a
walk to load the bases, and a
wild pitch from Brady Schmitt
on the next batter allowed
Doherty to score. Jeremy
Lochner then reached on an
error, and Schmitt was pulled
in favor of Christensen. Eric
Hilton added a single to score
Meinholz and make it 8-5
after five.
Middleton answered in the
top of the sixth, killing any
momentum Cross Plains had
just gained. Middleton sent 12
batters to the plate and scored
six runs on five hits, three
walks, and a Cross Plains
error to make it 14-5 and put
the game out of reach.
“Baseball is all about
momentum,” Hellenbrand
said. “(Cross Plains) had got-
ten right back into the game,
and we were able to swing the
momentum back in our favor
in the next half inning. From
there on we kind of cruised.”
Meinholz agreed with
Hellenbrand that momentum

was key.
“I felt really good after
we came back in from that
(fifth) inning,” Meinholz said.
“I had Dan Karnick in who
had been pitching really well
for us, and I didn’t think he
pitched that bad today, but
Middleton singled us to death.
The momentum switched back
to Middleton instantly.”
After starting the season
3-0, Cross Plains is 2-8 in
its last 10 games. Meinholz
hopes things turn around
before the playoffs start.
“I think we’re a better team
than we’ve been showing,
but I just can’t quite pinpoint

said. “We always seem to be

Tim Simon has led Middleton to a 111-39 record during his first 14 seasons as the Cardinals’ head coach. Simon and Jason
Pertzborn will serve as co-head coaches this season and Pertzborn could take the program over in 2019.

CHANGE continued from page 9

the right thing might not be the
easiest thing, but you always
try and do the right thing. So
it was time to practice what I
preach.”
Pertzborn withdrew his
name from the Madison
Memorial opening the follow-
ing day. Simon and Pertzborn
then convinced Middleton ath-
letic director Bob Joers that this
set-up would work, although it
was an extremely a tough sell.
“You know how I feel about
co-head coaches in general.
I don’t like that set-up very
much,” Joers said. “But I think
they’ve got a good plan and
I’m hopeful that it will work
for this season.
“The big thing we needed
to get established was who’s
responsible for what? Because
I don’t want it to be fourth
down on a Friday night and
they’re arguing about whether
or not to go for it.
“I don’t want a kid to go to
Tim with something, have him
say, ‘No’, then that same kid
goes to Jason. I don’t want our
kids playing Mom against Dad,
so to speak. So we had to take
care of those kind of details.”
Joers is optimistic that a
plan has been formulated to
cover anything and everything
that might creep up this fall.
And Simon, for one, insists
there will be little that changes
with the new arrangement.
Since 2013, Pertzborn has
called the offensive plays on
game nights. Tom Cabalka has
run Middleton’s defense for
the better part of four decades.
And after running the offense
on game nights his first nine
years, Simon has taken a big
picture approach in recent sea-
sons, overseeing all areas of
the team.
Everyone is expected to
maintain those roles in 2018.
And following that blueprint,
Simon believes long-time fol-
lowers of the program won’t
notice any real changes.
“The average person won’t
notice a difference,” Simon
insisted. “I don’t think they’ll
notice a single thing that will
be different. I might be naive,
but I don’t have any worries.
No qualms at all.”
Pertzborn agreed.
“He’s not a finger pointer
and I’m not a finger pointer,”
Pertzborn said. “I don’t antici-
pate any problems. He’s a good
friend of mine and we’ll work
extremely well together, like
we always have.”
When the dust settled, the
details had been finalized, and
the co-coaches told their play-
ers of the new arrangement,
Simon took a deep breath.
After all, getting to this point
certainly wasn’t easy.
Simon has compiled an
impressive 111-39 record
during his first 14 years, a .740
winning percentage. Simon
led Middleton to the WIAA
Division 1 state semifinals in
2008 and the state quarterfinals
in 2010 and 2016. Simon has
also helped lead Middleton to
the playoffs 22 straight years,
which is tied for the state’s
longest streak with Hartland
Arrowhead in Division 1.
Many expected Simon,
51, to remain Middleton’s
head coach for at least anoth-
er decade. If that happened,
though, Pertzborn, 47, would
almost certainly have never
gotten the chance to coach his
alma mater.
“I just don’t feel like I need
the title of head coach to be
happy,” Simon said. “I love
coaching football and I’m
going to do it for many more
years. I might be in my 70s and
still coaching here. But again, I
don’t need a title to love coach-
ing the game.
“So it’s easier to make a
sacrifice like this knowing I
will still coach football. The
big thing for me is to continue
to work with young kids and
mold them into the men they
want to be.
“I think this is the right thing
to do and it was the right time
to do it. Jason’s been dedicated
and supportive and he deserves
this kind of opportunity. It just
didn’t feel right to have him go
to another school district to get
that chance.”
Pertzborn is certainly grate-
ful.

went to,” Pertzborn said. “I’ve
always bled Cardinal red and
that’s never stopped.
“I want to give back and
continue to build this program.
That’s the way I was taught
growing up.”
The 47-year old Pertzborn
— a 1990 MHS graduate —
grew up in the Middleton pro-
gram. And even when school
and his career took him outside
the area, Pertzborn remained a
Cardinal.
Pertzborn was a reserve on
Middleton’s 1987 state cham-
pionship team — the last group
of Cardinals to hoist a gold
ball. He then was a two-year
starting quarterback and a
standout baseball player.
Pertzborn played baseball
for three years at UW-Stevens
Point and graduated from
there with a business degree in
1995. He later added a teach-
ing degree from Concordia
University.
Pertzborn’s first high school
football coaching experience
came under Jay Redders at
Madison West from 1998-
2001. Pertzborn was also the
Regents’ offensive coordinator
in both 2000 and 2001.
Pertzborn joined
Middleton’s staff in 2002 as
a volunteer assistant at the
sophomore level. Former MHS
coach Kurt Gundlach — who
Pertzborn played for in high
school — brought him back
into the program, something Times-Tribune photo by Mary Langenfeld

The Middleton Gators div-
ers had an eventful week
The Gators dispatched

ing Shorewood, 55-53, on
July 10. Two nights later,
the Gators fell to Parkcrest,
74-40.
“Our divers had a very
competitive week especially
against Shorewood, but were
able to pull through with
two wins in our last home
meet of the season which
was great,” Middleton
coach Nicole Krantz said.
“Unfortunately, our squad
had some tough competi-
tion against Parkcrest a few
nights later.”
The results of the
Parkcrest meet are posted
below for each individual
age group.
