Middleton's 'Best of the Best'

The 2021-22 school year marked a return to normalcy for most of Middleton’s sports teams.

It also meant another year of tremendous success.

The Cardinals enjoyed terrific seasons and individual performances in a bevy of sports.

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

Team of the Year: Cross country

Alexa Richardson had spent the previous 15 minutes fretting.

Richardson, Middleton’s girls cross country coach, was worried about the health of Maddie Ruszkiewicz, who collapsed and couldn't finish the WIAA Division 1 state meet on Oct. 30, 2021.

Richardson was unsure if her star-studded team had done enough to win a second straight state title. And Richardson was concerned about the mental state of her team, which had come to Ridges Golf Course in Wisconsin Rapids as overwhelming favorites, but were now sweating things out.

Hinson plays hero for Middleton

Josh Hinson was hitless in his first three trips to the plate Saturday afternoon, a pair of fly-outs and a strikeout spoiling his day.

The Middleton 29ers’ clean-up batter came through in a big way in his final at-bat.

Hinson’s one-out double in the bottom of the eighth inning cleared the bases, giving the 29ers a 4-3 lead over the Cross Plains Businessmen — a lead that would hold up for a victory by that same score in a match-up of East Division rivals in the Home Talent League’s Northern Section.

The icing on the cake? The big hit for Hinson came on the same day his family was celebrating his daughter Mila’s fifth birthday.

What did Mila think?

Hard to say.

“She probably wasn't even watching,” Hinson said. “She was probably off running around doing something.”

Newspaper Stuff

Hi everyone. I think this week is a good time for some house cleaning. So, let’s talk about some of the things going on at the Times-Tribune

First, I have gotten several comments about my new headshot for this column head. Particularly the pose with the side eye. That is one of my standard “looks” according to those who know me. 

A few weeks ago, I went to Des Moines to attend my niece’s graduation. While I was there, I decided it a good idea to replace my ancient headshot, and asked my longtime friend and amazing photographer, Mindy Myers, to take them. 

Once Mindy sent the photos, I went on Facebook and posted three pictures, asking which one my friends preferred. The consensus was that the side eye shot was the one that best expressed my personality. I agreed and decided that although it may not be appropriate for other professional needs, it was suitable for my column head. 

The next thing I want to talk about is our high school interns.

Practice Safety When Lighting Fireworks

MIDDLETON–Fourth of July is fast approaching, and the Middleton Fire District (MIFD) would like to remind residents that if your celebration will include fireworks, safety measures should be practiced. 

MIFD also encourages residents to check with your local government concerning regulations surrounding fireworks.

While it is legal to buy and possess many types of fireworks in Wisconsin, it is illegal to set off large fireworks without a permit, which must be obtained through local government. Groups or individuals may apply for permits under Wisconsin law.

“Only a group with a valid municipal permit may use Roman candles, firecrackers, bottle rockets, mortars and anything else that explodes or leaves the ground,” said MIFD Battalion Chief Brad Subera. “Generally, no permit is needed for sparklers, stationary cones and fountains, toy snakes, smoke bombs and caps, noisemakers and confetti poppers with less than 1/4 of a grain of explosive mixture.”
