Middleton's 'Best of the Best'

Submitted by MTT News on Fri, 07/30/2021 - 22:17

They did a remarkable job working through a pandemic.

Then they had an incredible year when sports finally resumed.

Middleton’s boys sports teams had a terrific 2020-21 school year, and here the Times-Tribune has selected the best of the best.

Last week we honored the girls. This week it's the boys’ turn.

 

Team of the Year: Boys golf

Tom Cabalka is an optimist by nature.

Still, not even Middleton’s veteran boys golf coach could have predicted the type of spring his team would have.

After losing the 2020 season to COVID-19, Middleton brought back just one player with varsity experience. The Cardinals’ young guns surprised the golfing world, though, by finishing third at the WIAA Division 1 state tournament held at Wild Rock Golf Club in Wisconsin Dells.

Middleton's 'Best of the Best'

Submitted by MTT News on Fri, 07/23/2021 - 09:13

They did a remarkable job working through a pandemic.

Then they had an incredible year when sports resumed.

Middleton’s girls sports teams had a terrific 2020-21 school year, and here the Times-Tribune has selected the best of the best.

This week, we’ll honor the girls, and next week we’ll recognize the boys.

Teams of the Year: Golf, tennis and cross country

It’s impossible to pick just one team here.

That’s because all three teams bypassed the fall season, competed in the alternate spring and won state championships.

Middleton’s tennis team was the first to capture gold.

The Cardinals rolled through the Monona Grove Sectional and earned the No. 2 seed at state.

Middleton opened with a 6-1 win over third-seeded Ashwaubenon.

Middleton topples Black Earth

Submitted by MTT News on Fri, 07/23/2021 - 09:00

BLACK EARTH – A solid one-two punch on the mound combined with key defensive plays and timely hitting was the perfect formula for victory for the Middleton 29ers last Friday night.

Brady Schmitt and Drew Farrell combined to scatter 10 hits and limit host Black Earth to one earned run. Middleton also made the most of its four hits on offense to secure a 5-2 victory over the Bombers in a Northern Section Home Talent League amateur baseball game.

With the playoffs rapidly approaching, the victory kept the 29ers in the race for a higher seed and home field advantage in the early rounds of the postseason.

Cross Plains is 7-2 overall and has a ½-game lead over Ashton (6-2) in the East Division. Middleton (6-3) is one game behind the Businessmen.

Submitted by admin on Sat, 07/17/2021 - 10:10

MIDDLETON–The City of Middleton Plan Commission approved a rezoning request from The Bruce Company to build a new retail and headquarters building as well as multiple apartments buildings and hotel at the company’s current location at 2830 Parmenter St. on July 13.

If approved by the Middleton Common Council multiple parcels would be rezoned from B3 to a planned development district to construct a two-story retail and office building, up to 800 apartment units and 700 hotel rooms. The move would shift The Bruce Company’s field operations to its Verona wholesale location.

The two-story building would have a retail store on the ground floor and The Bruce Company’s offices above with underground parking for employees. The retail store would have spaces for plants, outdoor furniture, grills and other products. A new greenhouse and outdoor living space would also be constructed.

Rock the Ramp Gets Final Okay

Submitted by admin on Sat, 07/17/2021 - 10:08

MIDDLETON–Despite opposition from some residents, the License & Ordinance Committee (L&O) last week granted final approval for fireworks and alcohol sales permits for a July 23 “Rock the Ramp” event at the Middleton Municipal Airport-Morey Field.

Those opposed to the current level of noise from low-flying airplanes, and lead emissions from fuel they burn, said the approximate additional 80 aircraft attending the event will only worsen conditions.

“The proposed Rock the Ramp special event poses unnecessary health and safety risks to people living the vicinity of Morey airport, particularly the elderly and young children who are susceptible to lead poisoning and exposure to any lead level,” said Dr. David Bryce, a Town of Middleton Board Supervisor.

Ald. Kathy Olson interrupted to ask Bryce to address the fireworks request and not lead emissions.
