She won a first-place ribbon at the Chicago Riding Stables at age seven, but her favorite riding was at a guest ranch in Montana where she wrangled horses in the mountains at the break of dawn while her husband and children slept.

City of Middleton Respnds to Town's Pleasant View Road Lawsuit

Submitted by admin on Fri, 01/06/2023 - 10:08

MIDDLETON–The City of Middleton contends it properly acquired all the right-of-way formerly in the Town of Middleton needed to widen Pleasant View Road and asks a Dane County judge to dismiss the town’s suit challenging that portion of the project.

The Cities of Middleton and Madison are planning to widen Pleasant View Road to four lanes south from USH 14 to Blackhawk Road, with construction scheduled to begin in earnest next spring.

The town sued the city in October alleging that the city couldn’t widen the road near the north end of the project, because it hadn’t acquired sufficient right-of-way. Specifically, property that fronts Pleasant View Road owned by Northwestern Stone, LLC. The company operates a rock quarry at 4373 N. Pleasant View Rd., which has been in the town.

Middleton rolls past Oconomowoc

Submitted by MTT News on Wed, 01/04/2023 - 22:36

So much for needing time to get back into a groove following a holiday break.

Middleton’s boys basketball team looked in mid-season form despite an eight-day span between games and ended the 2022 calendar year in style on Dec. 28.

Senior guard Gavyn Hurley scored a game-high 18 points, and sophomore center Will Garlock added 16 points as Middleton cruised to a 73-43 victory over visiting Oconomowoc in a non-conference game.

“We practiced the day after Christmas and have been going hard the last couple of days,” Hurley said. “This was a big game for us because our La Follette game got canceled. We wanted to come out strong.”

Middleton, ranked third in the latest wissports.net coaches Division 1 poll, improved to 6-0 overall.

The Cardinals opened the game on a 16-2 run, and Oconomowoc (4-5) never got any closer than 10 points the rest of the way.

Submitted by MTT News on Tue, 01/03/2023 - 09:07

Editor’s Note: The Wisconsin Basketball Coaches Association recently conducted a survey asking schools whether they supported the adoption of a 35-second shot clock.

Each school throughout the state was asked to provide one response. A total of 339 schools responded with 45.7% (155) favoring the implementation of a shot clock and 54.3% opposing it (184).

Luke Francois, a former standout athlete at Middleton High School and the Cardinals’ athletic director from 2003-2011, is the now the Superintendent at Waterford High School.

Francois has studied the pros and cons of the shot clock and recently shared his thoughts with Superintendents throughout the state, as well as the Times-Tribune. What follows is a copy of that letter.

Aviation Gas Could be Source of Lead Found in Wells Near Airport

Submitted by admin on Mon, 01/02/2023 - 14:04

TOWN OF MIDDLETON–Low levels of lead were found in two wells and other contaminates were found in surface water near the Middleton Municipal Airport-Morey Field, according to a recently released federal study.

The Town of Middleton commissioned the United States Geological Survey (USGS) to sample soil and water for contaminates associated with aviation fuel and a July 2021 fireworks show at the airport.

Twelve private wells were tested in May or June of this year, and low levels of lead were found at a well in the High Wood Circle subdivision north of the airport, and in a well in a rural setting northwest of the airport.

The USGS kept the sample sites anonymous to the public but will share them with the homeowners soon. Others concerned about the quality of their well water were urged to contact the Department of Natural Resources (DNR).
