Blackhawk Technical College hasn't made plans for newly-acquired land
JANESVILLE — Blackhawk Technical College is mulling what to do with roughly 23 acres of land acquired last October. According to property records, there were two separate transactions, both occurring last October. Blackhawk acquired both properties from Wil-Hu LLC. All the land is adjacent to Highway 51 and the college. One of the acquisitions — worth $270,000 — was three acres. That was acquired via a donation. Another was 20 acres, assessed at just shy of $1 million. The college purchased that property. In an email to The Gazette, Blackhawk Executive Director of Advancement and Foundation Cassie Hartje said the foundation isn’t ruling out increasing the college’s footprint. The space could be used to support new programs in construction trades or add athletic fields, but no plans have been finalized. In recent years, the college has reduced its footprint across the county and expanded on its Central Campus on Highway G between Janesville and Beloit. Blackhawk sold its manufacturing building in Milton to KANDU Industries, slowly moving its students to the Central Campus. In 2024, it opened its Innovative Manufacturing Education Center, or IMEC. The college also opened its Public Safety and Transportation Complex also in 2024 after a $32

Janesville man with ALS to lead awareness event at Beloit Sky Carp game on Sunday
BELOIT — Barry Badertscher is the Beloit Sky Carp baseball team’s brand ambassador. But the Janesville resident is much more than that. He’s also a national ambassador for a disease with no cure — a disease Badertscher himself has. Badertscher, 61, has amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as ALS, or if you’re from an earlier era, Lou Gehrig’s disease. Badertscher found out last year he had the degenerative neurological disease. For him, it’s caused rapid muscle loss and neurological decline that saps him of energy. He still works at his job at The Sky Carp’s front offices, but now he gets around Beloit’s ABC Supply Stadium in a motorized wheelchair. There is no cure for ALS, and it is eventually fatal. For Badertscher, it’s affected his memory and critical thinking skills, things he treasured for years as a commercial real estate broker and now a community relations employee for the Minor League Baseball organization. The other day, Badertscher could not recall the name of the Sky Carp’s beloved mascot, Poopsie. This was as Poopsie was standing in front of him, attempting to give Badertscher a high-five. “I talk to that big, silly goose every day. How do you not remember
