Volleyball team finishes historic season in state semifinals

Anthony Iozzo
Assistant sports editor
There are several memories the Verona

Area High School girls volleyball team
will likely hold on to from this season.
A regular season Big Eight title, a
sweep over Sun Prairie in the sectional
finals and a 34-6 overall record are some
of the high points, but there is still one
moment that will shine above the rest.
Thats Thursdays wild comeback
over top-ranked Burlington in the WIAA
Division 1 state quarterfinals.
The Wildcats were not only down two
games to none after the first two sets, they
also fell behind 6-0 in the final set. But

Verona came back to pull off the big upset,
3-2 (21-25, 14-25, 25-22, 25-17, 15-11),
and despite the season ending in a loss in
the state semifinals to sixth-ranked Oconomowoc, the Wildcats finished as one of
the last four teams in Division 1, the programs best finish in school history.
Seniors Victoria Brisack, Julie
Touchett, Grace Mueller, Kylie Schmaltz,
Karly Pabich, Heather Rudnicki, Jordan
Pertzborn, Jaedyn Wozniak and Emily
Osiecki were all involved in some way,
whether it was making plays on the court

Proposed tax rate nearly the same
Veronas application to
authorize several hundred
acres on its north side to be
developed is getting a first
look by a regional body this
week, but its unclear what
or when the next step will
be.
With recent state legislation severely reducing the
scope of the Capital Area
Regional Planning Commissions powers and requiring quick approvals, that
countywide body is scrambling to figure out its role,
and Verona will provide its
first test.
The commission meets
Thursday, Nov. 12, with
conceptual discussions
planned on both Veronas
item and how it will deal
with that application and
others in the future.
Verona has already tested
CARPC and the staff of
its predecessor organization on other occasions,
most recently with its 2012
expansion into the Southwest Area on either side of
state Hwy. 69, which has
been authorized but still not
consummated. It also made
things interesting in 2005,
when an 800-acre expansion along its southern rim
caused County Executive
Kathleen Falk to request
(and receive) a moratorium
on expansions.
At that time, there was

Sunday after a crash on US
Hwy 18/151 near Cty. Hwy J.
According to a release from
the Dane County Sheriffs
Office, the mans 2005 Toyota Scion was traveling Westbound when it reached a construction zone where the right
lane was closed off using
orange barrels. His car veered
into the gravel to the right of
the closed lane, and than veer

back into the median area,
rolling five times before landing on its wheels.
The driver had to be
extracted from the vehicle by
rescue personnel, the sheriffs
office said.
In addition to sheriffs
deputies, Verona Police and
Fire, Fitchrona EMS and Mt.
Horeb police responded to the
scene.
The sheriffs office noted
that airbags did not deploy in
the crash, and that the crash
remains under investigation.
Town of Verona residents

would see a nearly negligible property tax increase
from the town if the current
budget proposal is approved
next week.
Town clerk/treasurer
John Wright said the early
estimate shows a 2-cent
increase on the mill rate,
from $3.76 per $1,000 of
property value in 2015 to
$3.78. That amounts to a
change of $3.41 in the town
portion of the property
tax bill for the owner of a
$250,000 home.
The annual meeting of
electors, including any residents present at the meeting, will consider the budget at a Nov. 17 meeting
following a public hearing
beginning at 7 p.m. at Town
Hall, 335 N. Nine Mound
Road.
The 2016 budget would
increase nearly 8 percent
under the proposal, but
town administrator/planner
Amanda Arnold said much
of that increased expenditure would be offset by
using money from reserves
the town has built up.
Arnold noted the budget
does not include costs for
the new Town Hall, because
town officials want to put it
out to bed to get exact numbers first and do not know
how much money the town
can get from the sale of the
land yet, either. The town is
expected to ask for approval from electors on an exact
price at a later date.
There are too many
unknowns, Arnold said.
The budget increase
comes mostly from
expected consulting fees
and changing Wrights
position to full-time,
Arnold explained.
Were going to have a
busy year next year, she
said, pointing to the four
potential election dates.
The consulting fees
involve a construction manager for the new Town Hall
building, which Arnold said
will be a one-year expense,
and a plan to redo the
towns comprehensive plan.
The spending increase, as
well as recent discussions
with the city of Verona
on a boundary agreement,
signals the Town Boards
philosophy toward growth,
Arnold said.
Were just trying to get
ourselves organizationally
strong to be able to handle
growth, she said. The
other option is to shrink and
have shrinking budgets
and reduced services.
The public works and
public safety budgets also
slightly increased for the
year, with a plan to replace
a bridge on Old Hwy. PB
and slightly increased costs
for EMS and fire coverage.
Theres not a lot of leeway in there (to save money), Arnold said.
Wright said the towns
tax estimate could change
slightly based on factors
out of the towns control
throughout the rest of the
year, such as manufacturing
assessments and whether
annexation documents for
properties to the city go
through before the end of
the year.

According to the packet,

Then, with those rules in

requires, among other

things, that the DNR decide
on proposals within 90 days
and that it limit all decisions
and information requests to
water quality issues.
CARPC deputy director Steve Steinhoff told the
Press on Tuesday that has the
potential to create conflicts
with the federal Clean Water
Act, and DNR and CARPC
staff are working closely to
sort those issues out so they
can adjust our process and
be in compliance with the
new law. Before the Mazomanie lawsuit, CARPC decisions were essentially considered the final word.
Veronas October submission for the North Neighborhood provides the first test
of this new system. Most of
the area is bounded on the
north by County Hwy. PD
and running from Epics
property on the west to the
Reddan Soccer Park on the
east, and it is in an obvious
expansion corridor, unlike
the Southwest Area. However, its proximity to the
Ice Age Trail and its kettle
moraines could complicate
matters a bit, at least on the
technical side.
There are also a couple of
smaller pieces included for
the Verona Area School Districts planned new southside elementary school and
a 113-acre expansion of the
Verona Technology Park.
The process is far more
complicated than the submittal, however.
Thursdays agenda
includes discussion-only
items, as the commission
will still be finding its footing, and those two items are
followed by a discussion of
revising CARPC bylaws,

Regional body
sorting out role in
expansion approvals
contracted out to for review

when cities or villages asked
to extend sewer service, or
what are called urban service
areas. That authorization is
required for most forms of
urban development.
When Falk returned with
the CARPC proposal to
restore an expedient method of approving these USA
amendments, it provided an
opportunity for town and the
county appointees to block
expansions. Even though
the commissions role is
clearly defined by statute to
ensure water quality is not
infringed on by development, CARPC commissioners have brought all sorts of
regional planning issues into
the discussion, from highways and infrastructure to
low-cost housing and busing
options. CARPC has also
required intergovernmental
agreements between cities
and towns before approving
expansions.
That sort of regional planning and cooperation has
long been a goal at the county level, but combined with
the towns natural interest
in slowing development and
cities reluctance to limit
their options, approvals
have often been slowed.
In a few instances, they
have been rejected outright,
and in each case, the state
had to step in. That started
with a successful lawsuit by
Mazomanie over its Black
Earth Creek proposal in
2010, continued with Veronas Southwest Area application and ended with Fitchburgs Northeast Neighborhood expansion.

on that issue with its passage

Letter to the editor
School district taking

positive, proactive steps
Both our sons graduated from
Verona Area High School and,
from the time they entered kindergarten, they both had excellent
experiences, both academically
and in terms of their involvement
in extracurricular activities.
It's clear, based on two recent
articles in The Verona Press, that
the district continues to shine.
First, I applaud the efforts taken
by Sugar Creek, under the leadership of principal Todd Brunner, toward increasing the diversity and cultural sensitivity of the
school's staff. I tutored students at
Country View for several years,
and it's clear how important it is
that students have teachers they
identify with and who understand
their concerns. It's apparent, based
on the percentage of minority
staff at Country View and on the
quotes in the article, that the committee has begun to see very positive results.
What's equally apparent is that
some schools in the district fall
terribly short. Stoner Prairie, for
example, has the greatest difference between the percentage of
minority students (43.8 percent)
and staff (7.5 percent). Given
clear evidence of a successful
approach elsewhere in the district, and the failure of his school
to succeed in attracting minority
staff, I was baffled by the principal's defensive quotes about the
issue. I hope that, in time, his

views change for the benefit of all
the students who count on him.
Second, I applaud VASD for its
proactive approach to addressing
the issue of transgender students
in the district. It sounds as though
the committee is well on its way
to forming a sensible policy, and
one that is sensitive to the needs
of all students in the district. I
would mention, in contrast to one
committee member's statement
that, All this is so new, that
what's new is not the existence
of transgender individuals, but
the openness with which we, as a
society, have begun to address the
issue.
When I worked at the Monroe
Clinic in the early '80's, I worked
briefly with a man who struggled
with the fact that he was transgender because, at that time, being
transgender in his small community was so isolating.
Many transgender people struggle with feelings of isolation, and
violence toward transgender individuals (particularly transgenders
of color) is still a major problem.
Efforts like those of the committee will only lead to increasing
openness and acceptance of transgender individuals, which will
benefit all students.

wrote in an email to the

to establish an event that
would prevent the courses

While the event has since

still features many of the
same vendors present for
the inaugural event.
Although I can't always
get back to Verona for the
event, the last time I was
there, some of the original
crafters were still exhibiting, Brey wrote. That was
a wonderful feeling.
Now organized by
the Verona Area Education Foundation, the fair
requires participants to
vend handcrafted items,
which keeps the offerings including jewelry,
knitted and quilted items,
woodworking and flower
arrangements interesting,
said VAEF vice president
Nancy Horns in a phone
interview. She added that
the constant influx of new

vendors, both local and
those who travel across
state lines to vend, keeps
things fresh.
Proceeds from the fair
also help (to) support
scholarships for kids who
want to participate in the
Verona and Fitchburg (community recreation) programs
over the year, Horns said.
The Verona Area High
School theatre department
runs the concession stand,
selling pulled pork sandwiches, pizza and other
items throughout the day to
help fund their program as
well. The Fitchburg Fireflies 4-H Club will be selling baked goods, and coffee
and donuts from Miller and
Sons Supermarket will be
available in the morning.
Admittance to the craft
fair is free. For information or questions on how to
become a vendor next year,

VAHS food drive aims to collect 25,000 pounds

Runs through early
December
The annual Verona Area
High School food drive has
a goal of collecting 25,000
pounds of food this year for
the Badger Prairie Needs
Network.
This year, collections at
the high school are on different days of the week
because of the change to
block scheduling, adviser
Megan Wenn noted. Second hour classes are competing to raise the most
donations through Dec. 10,

and the top three classes
will receive a pizza party.
Last year, the group collected more than 21,000
pounds, Wenn said.
The school kicked off the
Launching Hunger Out of
This World drive in late
October with an event in
the auditorium.
Bins will also be available at all elementary
schools in the district
except Stoner Prairie Elementary School for students to bring in items. The
bins will be collected every
Wednesday.
Wenn said the first pickup this year collected just

1,486 pounds, but the group
is hopeful to raise plenty
more through the drive until
Dec. 10.
Were trying to up it
from last year, but realistically people dont focus so
much on the goal as the day
to day, she said. People
are very, very receptive
and nice about it. Its really
amazing how many people
just constantly donate.

City of Verona
Council clears way for day care, waterproofer

Jim Ferolie
Verona Press editor
Two businesses have

been given clearance to
begin operating in the city.
Zander Solutions, a
waterproofing company,
and Kind and Joyful Childcare both got unanimous
votes by the Common
Council for necessary permits.
Alders had brief
questions about underground storage tanks on the

Zander property and about
fencing regulations on the
day care, which is not the
same applicant that got
approval to run a day care
in the same building 524
W. Verona Ave. in 2011.
That building has been
vacant since 2008, when a
veterinary office moved out
to expand in Fitchburg.
Neither requires
significant construction.
Zander, which already has
nearly 50 employees in
the Town of Middleton,
will need to install a parking lot and outdoor storage
for building materials. The
day care, a new business
that aims to open in late
spring, will need to install a
board-on-board fence on
the side and another appropriate fence in the front,
around its playground area.
Private school vouchers more than doubled

The amount of students
receiving state vouchers to
attend private schools in
Wisconsin rose dramatically in the past year.
According to a press
release last month from
the Wisconsin Department
of Public Instruction, private school vouchers were
issued to 2,514 students
in the Wisconsin Parental
Choice Program (WPCP)
for the 2015-16 school
year, after just over 1,000
students were in the program last year.
Of the 1,640 new students
in the voucher program,
nearly 20 percent attended a
public school last year.

The self-help section is one of the largest sections in

most bookstores. But the fact is that there is no end to
the publishing of books on a variety of self-help topics,
from dieting to money management to relationships and
careers suggests that the advice given isnt terribly effective. If self-help books really helped, wouldnt there be
an end to it, or perhaps even just one big, final edition of
the Last Self-Help Book? David Brooks suggests in his
book The Road to Character that the problem with the
notion of self-help is relying on ourselves. We keep falling back on the same method, which is to think that we
can solve our own problems. To quote the comic strip
character Pogo, We have met the enemy and he is us.
Human resourcefulness and resilience are impressive but
they can only go so far in solving our problems. Gods
resourcefulness, on the other hand, is infinite, because
His is the world and its fullness. Our resources are limited; Gods are unlimited. The danger of relying too much
on your own resources is that, to quote C.S. Lewis, You
may forget that you are at every moment totally dependent on God. So throw out all those self-help books and
ask God to help you out. Hes always there and He is your
best hope.

VAIS: Enrollment has shrunk in recent years

Continued from page 1
The first class of fifth-graders from Verona Area International

School graduated in the spring.
instructional equity Laurie

Burgos said is recommended
for language immersion.
One of the key challenges
in creating a new program,
like adding Chinese language
to the middle schools is
employment, superintendent
Dean Gorrell noted, because
adding resources for one area
means taking them away in
another.
Theres really no mechanism under site council to
do what they want to do, he
said at the Oct. 23 CIA meeting. I cant speak for the
middle school administration
and site councils, but its not
hard for me to guess that they
would not necessarily volunteer FTE to this.
A teacher is coming
Drake pointed out that a
teacher is expected to come
to the school from a Chinese institute in January and
could be here for up to three
years on a grant.
While that could help
somewhat solve the personnel issue created by adding
Chinese, it is not quite a perfect solution, Gorrell said,
because the teacher would
not be certified in Wisconsin. That would mean a certified teacher would have to
work with the teacher from
Hanban, a Chinese institute
that promotes Chinese education worldwide.
Systemically, though, we
cant count on that (person
from China), he said. If
were going to commit to
this, that means were going
to commit to this regardless
of what happens with this
person.
Board member Joanne
Gauthier floated the idea of
using technology to reach
students at both schools, but
that still leaves the challenge
of aligning schedules. The
middle schools currently
have different schedules
throughout the day, though
an ongoing middle school
study is aiming to add consistency in that and other
areas between the schools.

Administrators agreed
at the Nov. 6 CIA meeting
to look at specific options
and bring them back to the
next committee meeting in
December.
More to solve
The lack of a middle
school option isnt the only
problem VAIS parents want
solved, though. Next on the
list: Get the school into one
location.
VAIS is currently split
between the districts two
Fitchburg schools, SOMS
and Stoner Prairie Elementary School. That makes collaboration for the schools
three Chinese teachers a
major challenge, Mueller said. She added that the
lack of a centralized location
makes creating a community hard to foster.
As parent Mylinda Heil
put it, VAIS can feel like the
(unwanted) child of the
district at times. Heil has one
child at VAIS, but her younger child, who just entered
kindergarten, is enrolled in
the Two-Way Immersion
program, which does Spanish language immersion.
(VAIS has) to fight for
every little thing we get,
Heil said. For right now,
its very important I think for
future kindergarten kids to
really get that environment
and that community.
Mueller acknowledged,
though, that the school can
likely keep making the two
locations work if needed, and
that the middle school option
is a higher priority. If the
middle school option doesnt
change, parents will have to
make a decision going forward.
If there is not going to be
Chinese offered in middle
school within the district,
then we may have to look
at other options, governing council president Angela
Jenkins said at the Nov. 6
meeting.
The Prairie Kitchen is

opening the holiday baking season with a tempting offer. Bakers can sign
up to use the commercialgrade culinary facility at
Badger Prairie Needs Network along with all the
equipment and utensils
they need to make holiday
goodies. Volunteers will
also be on hand to help and
do all the dishes so cleanup
is fast and easy.
In exchange for a suggested donation of $75 to
BPNN, bakers can sign up
for a four-hour shift in the
kitchen; either 7:30-11:30
a.m. or 1-5 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 21 or Monday,
Nov. 23. They need only
bring their favorite recipes,
ingredients and takeaway
containers.
The kitchen has a double
convection oven, two standard ovens, six stovetop
burners, a full-size bread
proofer, pots, pans, bowls
and utensils.
To register, visit bpnn.
Upcoming cooking classes

The Prairie Kitchen will hold two upcoming hands-on
cooking classes in December.
Buche de Noel
Enjoy an afternoon of holiday-themed baking and add a
traditional French Christmas treat, Buche de Noel, to your
repertoire from 1-4 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 6, for $35.
Former L-Etoile baker, Deborah Lease, will provide
step-by-step instruction on her special version of the celebrated sponge cake. Each participant will take home a
small cake.
Fondue
Roll up your sleeves and get ready to explore fondue
with David Beach, the former manager of Madisons
Melting Pot restaurant, from 6-9 p.m. Friday, Dec. 11.
He will guide you through this hands-on making and
tasting extravaganza of shrimp, steak and chicken fondues
with a variety of dipping sauces.

Alternate side parking to take effect Nov. 20

The City of Verona will
begin enforcing alternate
side parking rules Friday,
Nov. 20, which will remain
in effect until April 1.
The rules are enforced in
order to assist the Department of Public Works with
snow and ice removal during the winter months. They
apply to any vehicle parked
within the city limits between
the hours of 1-6 a.m.
On even-numbered calendar days, vehicles should
park on the even-numbered
side of any public street or
highway, and should park
on the odd-numbered side
during odd-numbered calendar days.
Drivers in violation of
the side parking rules can
expect a citation of $10,
Verona Police Department
In Brief
The following regulations apply to any vehicle
parked within the City of Verona between the
hours of 1-6 a.m., Nov. 20April 1:
Vehicles should park on the even-numbered
side of any public street or highway on evennumbered calendar days, and the odd-numbered
side on odd-numbered calendar days.
Lt. David Dresser said in a
phone call with the Press.
However, Dresser added
that the department generally plans to issue warnings during the first week of
enforcement in order to help
people get in the habit
first, if weather permits.
Dresser recommended
that drivers avoid parking
on narrow streets, which are
more difficult to plow, and

that they share the alternate
parking rules with family
and friends who may be visiting during the holidays so
that they can avoid be cited.
For questions regarding
parking regulations, contact
the Verona Police Department at 845-7623.

Mueller, VAIS director

Barb Drake and other parents
at the Nov. 6 CIA meeting
said what happens in middle
school is a question they get
from nearly every incoming
parent.
Without that confirmation for parents that there is a
middle school program, that
makes it difficult to recruit,
she said. That was the No. 1
question I was asked, What
happens after fifth grade?
In the past, Mueller said,
they could tell parents they
were working with administration to find a solution.
But now the time has come,
and the plan that was created
for this year doesnt measure
up to what VASD director

the three sixth-graders who

are former VAIS students
remaining in the district
using their Read 2 Succeed time at Savanna Oaks
Middle School to read in
Chinese. Because of schedules at the elementary and
middle school levels, that
leaves the last third of their
time unsupervised, she said.
Next year, though, the
seven students scheduled to
graduate will split in attendance areas between SOMS
and Badger Ridge Middle
School, which have different schedules themselves.
VAIS opened in 2010
when Mueller and others
founded the charter and
graduated its first class of
students in spring. The first
class was a mix of kindergarten and first-graders,
and is therefore smaller.
But enrollment rose in the
years following, meaning
classes of nearly 20 graduates are coming soon.
However, enrollment in
recent years has dwindled
somewhat, with nearly onethird of this years kindergarten class coming from
open enrollment. That complicates the idea of creating
a long-term program to sustain the language learning
into middle school.
The topic has been discussed at each of the last
two curriculum, instruction
and assessment committee
meetings, with a final decision expected by the board
by January sometime.
Mueller told the Press
shes felt good about how
the conversation has gone
so far, and hopes that the
ultimate solution can benefit the entire student body.
I hope the district looks
at it not just for our students
but for any interested middle school or high school
student, she said.

Scouts lend a helping hand to food pantry, building

On the web
Samantha Christian
Two Verona scouts have

made a positive impact on
Network through recent
service projects.
Sean Lytle, a 10-year-old
Webelo 2 Cub Scout with
Troop 549, donated $85
to the BPNN food pantry
after earning money from
repainting mailbox posts in
his neighborhood.
Austin Hoover, a
16-year-old Boy Scout with
Troop 349, helped design
and refurnish the kids play
area at BPNN for his Eagle
Scout project.
Mailbox mission
Lytle, a Glacier Edge
Elementary School fifthgrader, noticed that many
of the mailbox posts in his
Hawthorne Hills neighborhood had taken a beating
from the winters. The posts
were falling apart and losing their paint some much
worse than others.
He created fliers for a
service project to paint 35
mailbox posts this spring
and summer, but he didnt
just help his neighborhood.
Lytle donated a third of
his earnings to BPNN and
a third to his Scout Troop.
He had heard about BPNN
through his school, which
helps with the food drive
every November.
The day I took my check
to BPNN was a day I wont
forget, Lytle wrote in an
email to the Press. I got
to see their new building,
meet the volunteers and
find out how they would
use my donation. It was
such an amazing feeling to
know I was helping others.
His parents, Patrick and
Michelle, said he met many
nice neighbors while painting mailboxes and is grateful for their support of the
project. He plans to paint
again next year.
My mom and dad are
very involved in the community and with local nonprofit groups, he said. I

Kids room project

Hoover, a junior at Verona Area High School, had
heard an announcement at
Sugar River United Methodist Church that BPNN
(formerly known as the
Verona Area Needs Network) was going to be
moving into a new facility,
and felt compelled to help
somehow.
Karen Fletcher, the former food pantry coordinator, suggested that Hoover
tackle the future kids playroom, which was in need of
an upgrade, including new
cabinets, a table, bookshelf
and a place for toys.
Part of his Eagle Scout
project was to repaint the
walls, strip up the carpet, install vinyl flooring,
remove the blinds from the
windows and build a toy
shelf, which he worked on
from May 12 to June 24.
Every single weekend
I was planning something
out or thinking about what
my next work day would be
like, so it took a long time
and a lot of planning to do,
Hoover said.
That meant he spent some
of his summer break working, but hes glad he wasnt
lazy and sitting around and
doing nothing.
My brain was still hardwired for school that first
week of break, so it wasnt
that bad; it was like a daily
routine, he said.
Hoover said that his parents, Michael and Michelle,
Photos submitted

kids playroom at Badger Prairie Needs Network.
and some of the other boy

scouts parents helped him
with the project, especially
with the wooden cabinets
that needed to be drilled
into a metal frame.
William Gehl donated the
cabinets, which would have
otherwise been thrown out
of his warehouse at work.
And Dan Freitag helped
install the cabinets.
Those two really, really
helped me a lot with installing this cabinets And the
cabinets pretty much tied
the room together, Hoover
said. I had a lot of help
from my parents (They)
really pushed me to do all
that. We kind of conquered
one task at a time.
Although Hoover has not
visited the play area since
the BPNN building opened,
he said he received many
cards from the kids who use
it.
That brought a smile to
my face when I read all of
those cards, he said. They
said Thank you, Austin,
for our room, and I thought
that was really cool.
Hoover has been involved
with the Scouts since second grade when he still

lived in Ohio. He said the
merit badge that has meant
the most to him is Citizenship in the Nation, which
he earned in sixth grade
after visiting Gettysburg
and learning about our roles
as citizens. He also took a
two-week trip last year to
Philmont Scout Ranch in
New Mexico and enjoyed
hiking the mountains.
Some of Hoovers
Cub Scout Sean Lytle, 10, painted mailboxes in his neighborhood

this summer to raise money for the BPNN food pantry.
leadership roles have

included senior and assistant patrol leader and
bugler, though he said when
he was younger he often
shied away from being a
leader because he thought
it would be too much work
and responsibility.
Id always worry about
what people would think of
me, he said. But I went to
(National Youth Leadership
Training) last summer
and I think after that I really
learned what it meant to be

a leader and its about
doing whats right, and its
about being there for your
troop or a team or whoever.
After high school,
Hoover plans to take what
he has learned about leadership from the Scouts and
apply it to a future career
with the Air Force, FBI or
military police.

Verona Area/Mount Horeb girls swimming may not have repeated as sectional
champions, but by the end of Saturdays
WIAA Division 1 Middleton sectional no
one seemed too phased.
The Wildcats won eight of a possible 12
sectional titles and qualified 15 of 18 individual swimmers for this Saturdays WIAA
Division state, plus all three relays, inside
the UW-Madison Natatorium.
Coach Bill Wuerger confirmed that is the
highest number of qualifiers the program
has ever had at the Division 1 level and
could even help the Wildcats crack into the
top two or three at state
Were going to focus on trying to beat
our times from sectionals, and let the chips
fall where they may at state, Wuerger said.
Still it was second-ranked Middleton that
held off the defending sectional champion

and third-ranked Wildcats by three points
371-368.
I dont think we could have won more
than eight out of the 12 events and there
was a lot of good swims besides those eight
event winners, Wuerger said. We had a
shot but just didnt have enough at the end .
The bigger picture today was swimming
best times, which most of the girls did, and
making it to state.
Verona sophomore Maggie Nunn broke
her own school record diving record with
471.15 points to win the sectional title on
Friday night. Nunn enters her second state

Sectionals: Wildcats advance 15 of possible 18 individuals and all three relays to state
Mount Horeb freshman Grace
Bennin followed that up by breaking the Verona school and Middleton pool record on her way to
a sectional title in the 100 breaststroke (1:04.39) on Saturday. She
also won a 50 free sectional title
in 23.68, but was unable to break
the record held by teammate and
state record holder Beata Nelson.
Beating Nelsons 50 free record
in the next three years is definitely a goal for Bennin.
Ive known about Beata my
entire live and Ive always looked
up to her, Bennin said. It would
be really cool to beat one of her
records and would kind of make
me think I could go just as far as
her.
I know she came from a smaller town like I did, so its really
inspiring to see her go so far.
Bennin enters Saturdays state
tournament with the secondfastest qualifying time behind
Muskego junior Lauren Stigler
(1:03.79) in the 100 breast and
the second fastest 50 free time to
Arrowhead senior Kelly Jacob
(23.28).
After the 50 free I was trying
to develop a streak and win my
other events too, Bennin said.
As a freshmen its really exciting to be winning all these meets
because I know I have three more
years left and Im really excited
to see what I can do.
Senior Gwen Worlton of Nicolet is the defending champion
returning in the 100 breast, but
enters the meet with a time more
than a second behind Stigler.
Worlton is one of five individual champions who returns in
hopes of defending their titles this
weekend. All three relays also
feature defending champions.
Verona senior Beata Nelson,
the state meet record holder in the

50 free, 100 butterfly, 100 backstroke and as a member of the 200
freestyle relay, returns attempting
to win her third straight title in the
butterfly and her fourth straight
championship in the backstroke.
She enters both events with the
fields top qualifying times of
53.71 in the butterfly and 54.45 in
the backstroke after securing titles
at the Middleton sectional.
The Arrowhead 200 medley
relay has won six straight championships but will be challenged
to win a seventh. Verona/Mount
Horeb freshmen Caroline Smith
and Bennin and junior Kristi Larsen and Nelson, qualified with the
best qualifying time in 1:45.13.
I was kind of nervous in warmups and wasnt feeling up to
speed, but I had a complete mind
change after that relay, Bennin
said. That was either my best or
second best split in a relay.
The Wildcat foursome of Bennin, Larsen, Seidl and Nelson also
won a 200 free relay sectional
title and enters state with the top
time of 1:35.60.
Verona is the defending champion after winning the event the
past two seasons, including a state
meet record-setting performance
last season.
Honestly, I think winning a
sectional title as a relay means
just a little bit more because you
are surrounded by so many cool
people, who are really supportive, Seidl said. Its really fun to
be able to share that with everyone.
The goal at state is definitely
to try and win the 200 free and I
hope we can all improve as four
individuals to bring it home for
Beatas last race.
Arrowhead is also the returning champion in the 400 freestyle
relay, but it is Middleton that

possesses the quickest qualifying

time of 3:30.00 in the event.
VA/MH also added a sectional title in the 100 free thanks to
Seidls time of 52.63.
There are no words, Seidl
said of the feeling. I know I did
it last year, but every time is just
the best feeling. Having all your
family and friends cheering you
on is really cool.
She and sophomore Sophie
Henshue both advanced on to
state in the 200 free after finishing fourth and sixth in 1:54.33
and 1:55.42, respectively.
Henshue also qualified for state
in the 500 free where her time of
5:07.35 was good for fourth.
Senior Julia Ver Voort also
moved on as an individual, taking
third place in the 200 IM with a
time of 2:09.47 and seventh in the
100 fly (59.24).
Larsen earned the second-tolast state qualifying spot in the 50

free with her time of 24.82 good

can play until they are 20

years old. So I have one
more year that I can play. It
all depends on the birth year
of the player- the oldest kids
in the league are 1995 birth
years.
VP: Your father helped
coach at Verona. Did
he play junior and collegiate hockey? And did
he coach anywhere else?
He is now coaching the U14

Madison Capitol girls team
which my sister plays on.
My dad did not play Junior
hockey. He played for the
University of Wisconsin in
college 1986-1991, I believe.
I would say that my entire
family is a hockey family
the people that I am close
to whether it is my grandpa,
uncle, or father all love the
game. So it was easy for me
to follow and love it as well.
I was never pushed toward
hockey. Ive tried just about
every sport and enjoyed
them all, but hockey was
always my favorite.
Parker: Yes he did. He has

coached at the high school
level for a handful of years
when I was young. He
coached my youth teams
growing up and he helped
with Verona my senior year. VP: What about hockey appealed to you,
and why do you think
youve been able to have
so much success at it?

Parker: I feel that the atmosphere of the rink is extremely unique and the hockey
community is friendly and
fantastic bunch of people
in Verona for that reason,
ever since Ive been young
I have loved coming to the
rink. I would have to say my
love for the game started by
loving to go to the arena to
watch or play hockey.
I think that my success has
come from a combination
of passion, work, and help.
I truly enjoy hockey and I
love to play the game. I think
that has held a major part in
my development as a player
throughout the many years. I
spend a lot of time and effort
working on my game trying
to improve myself as a player. Finally, I have received
an enormous amount of
help and direction from my
coaches, family, and friends.
There are so many people
who have helped me along
my path so far.
VP: Your dad was at UW
during the 1990 season
when the Badgers won a
national championship
team. Who else in your
family has played hockey?
Parker: My uncle, Jeff
Parker played for Michigan
State on a championship
team in 1986. Then he went
on to play professional hockey for the Buffalo Sabres.
My uncle Scott played for
the Eau Claire Blugolds winning an national championship (1984) as well.
VP: DI and DIII national
titles and a NHL hockey
player. Thats an impressive family tree. Have you
received a lot of advice
from them over the years
as a hockey player?
Parker: Yes, a lot of my
advice comes from my family, just like any young
player. Im fortunate to have
family that has played at
high levels and has experienced much of what I have
gone through. It is easy
for me to relate with them
through hockey.
VP: What do you enjoy
away from the ice?
I enjoy fishing. One of
my favorite experiences I
will continue to have will be
fishing with my uncles Scott
and Jeff in Chippewa Falls. I

have a group of close friends
that I spent many days with
during the off-season. We
golf, swim, fish and play tennis when we are spending
time away from hockey.
VP: Every time I hear that
song Timber by Ke$ha I
think of the year you won
the state title at VAHS
and the team played that
in the locker room after
every game. Does that song
bring back those memories for you, and what
was it like being part of
that season at VAHS?
Parker: Yes, of course that
song brings back memories.
That year was an absolute
blast. The group we had that
year was made up of very
special people starting from
the coaching staff through
the players. Growing up
and going to school with
the senior class was a lot of
fun. We were a close-knit
bunch and that played a tremendous role in our success.
VP: Where does that rank
among your hockey highlights so far?
Parker: Winning a state
championship is a difficult
task to capture. Only a select
group of teams or people can
say that they have accomplished that. For our team to
prevail and join that group
is definitely an honor and
a privilege. It is definitely
among the best moments in
my hockey career.

State: Wildcats finish 34-6 overall and make it to the WIAA Division 1 state semifinals
that we were the underdog,
head coach Kelly Annen
said. After watching Burlingtons film and seeing the
opportunities that we had to
put them back on their heels
really pushed us and allowed
us to come through.
Even after Veronas season
came to an end Friday in the
D1 state semifinals to sixthranked Oconomowoc, there
was nothing to be ashamed
of as the girls walked into the
media room.
The girls still had smiles on
their faces despite the watery
eyes that naturally happen
when a season comes to an
end, and just like the win
over Burlington Thursday,
the Wildcats (34-6 overall)
stood together and reflected
on one of the best seasons in
program history.
I think we were pegged
as the underdog, and maybe
rightfully so I dont know
because of the records from
past years, but I think our
team proved that it is not necessarily how big you are or
what your record was from
the past season. Each year
is a new year, and the team
chemistry on our team was
unbelievable, senior Victoria Brisack said. And I think
that alone carried us this far.
We had our ups and
downs this season, but we
came into the tournament and
gave it our all. It didnt quite
work out for us, but we had
a great season, senior Kylie
Schmaltz said.
Besides Brisack and
Schmaltz, the senior class
Karly Pabich, Julie Touchett,
Grace Mueller, Heather
Rudnicki, Jordan Pertzborn, Jaedyn Wozniak and
Emily Osiecki will be long
remembered for how they
helped put Verona volleyball
on the map, joining the 2011
senior class.
There will be a lot to miss
for these girls. Brisack said
she would miss the energy
brought from the student section and the crowd at games.
Schmaltz said she would
miss practicing with the team
everyday and playing in front
of her friends.
Regardless of the reason,
there were several memories not only the team will
never forget but ones that
the younger girls junior
Anna Solowicz, junior Becca
Phelps, junior Holly Wickstrom, sophomore Hannah
Worley and sophomore Priya
Shenoi can embrace to try
and make future runs.
This group of girls I
appreciate how much they
have trusted me in the information I shared with them in
how we would be able to get
to this point. They set goals
for themselves, and the biggest thing we focused on
was communication, Annen
said. We said communication leads to consistency
which leads to authenticity,
and I think we just showed
the entire state of Wisconsin
what authentic Verona volleyball looks like coming
from behind, finding composure, finding fire, playing
for our team, having fun and
loving the sport of volleyball with all of those ideas in
place.
Verona 3, Burlington 2
Despite Veronas rally
Thursday against Burlington,
things didnt look great to
start the fifth set. But then the

points started coming, and
nothing seemed to stop the
Wildcats.
Brisack tied the Demons
at 8-8 with back-to-back
aces, and later, a combination block by Mueller (2 1/2
blocks) and Shenoi (1 1/2
blocks) capped a 9-1 run.
I dont think we really focused on the score,
Schmaltz said. Our game
was to keep picking up their
outsides (senior Quinn
Spieker) tough shots. We
just kept pushing and pulled
through.
When the final point
finally came, the celebration included going en masse
to the student section and
pumping their arms in the air
as cheers and chants echoed
throughout the Resch Center.
The energy then was as
intense as before the match
started, and much of it can
be attributed to the chemistry
the Wildcats have showed all
season.
We play for each other.
We play as a team, and that
was one of the things coach
talked about that some on the
other side of the court play
for me, and we didnt do
that, Brisack said. It was
the ultimate test basically
of our team, and we pulled
through because we played
for each other.
Verona struggled in the
second set, falling behind
7-1 and later giving up an
11-2 run with a few unforced
errors. But in the third set,
Brisack took over.
I am really competitive,
Brisack said. My teammates
know that and that came
through a couple of times in
the huddles. Especially after
that second set, I hate losing.
I hate losing more than I love
to win, and so I was not letting us go out without a heck
of a fight.
After getting behind by
a point, Brisack went on a
mission with her passing.
Not only was she finding
Touchett (13 kills), Pabich
(eight kills), Mueller (eight
kills) and Schmaltz (20 kills)
she also was misdirecting the
Demons formidable block
seniors Phoebe Hozeska,
Talyn Lewis and Spieker
entered the match with a
combined 111 blocks and
had 4 1/2 in the first two sets
combined.
Brisack was able to drop
in several kills by not passing at all and simply popping
the ball over the net, usually
causing Burlington to pause
and get to the ball too slow.
And that later made Burlington cheat, leaving the back
open.
As a setter, absolutely
my job is to help my hitters
get the best opportunities
possible, but every once in
awhile part of that is to keep
the defense honest, said Brisack, who finished with 10
kills, 41 assists and five aces.
I take that role very seriously. Again, I dont really
do it for me. I do it so that
hitters can have one-on-one
options or even no options as
far as blockers. It is really just
another thing the defense has
to worry about.
And then there was the
defense. The Demons came
in with 1,193 kills, including
five girls with more than 100
each. But Veronas 56 digs as
a team helped halt Burlingtons attack.
Schmaltz picked up 14
Verona seniors Julie Touchett (3) and Heather Rudnicki (6) pump each other up during the WIAA Division 1 state semifinals against
Oconomowoc on Friday.
digs, and Pabich collected 12.

Worley had 11, and Rudnicki
picked up 10. Brisack even
added eight digs on top of her
other stats for the night.
Oconomowoc 3, Verona 1
Fridays 3-1 (20-25, 25-22,
23-25, 17-25) loss to Oconomowoc wasnt a total letdown. The Wildcats were
able to tie the match at a
game apiece and then scored
three straight points to tie the
third set at 22 and force an
Oconomowoc timeout.
Unfortunately, unlike
Thursday, the bounces didnt
go Veronas way, and the
Raccoons held on for a 25-23
win in the third set to take a
2-1 lead in the match.
We just started to play
scared and hesitant and
played not to lose instead
of playing to win, Brisack
said.
Schmaltz also hurt her
ankle during the match, but
she stayed in and continued
to pick up kills, finishing
with a team-leading 13.
I just tried to fight for
our team and give it my all,
Schmaltz said.
The Wildcats trailed for
much of the fourth set and
called a timeout down 19-15,
but a comeback would not
show up this time as Oconomowoc finished on a 6-2 run.
We werent able to get
a leg up on them with our
serve today, and that was
kind of one of the areas that
put us behind, Annen said.
Their blocking came on
strong, and with not being to
pass with three options, we
kind of struggled to set up
our offense effectively.
Brisack finished with
26 assists, seven kills, two
aces and six digs. Mueller
and Touchett both had 1 1/2
blocks, and Worley finished
with two aces and nine digs.
Sophomore Amanda Garvens and senior Leah Fenske
finished with 12 and 11 kills
to lead the Raccoons.
Seniors Anna Berghoefer
(24 assists) and Demi Rae
Dunham (20 assists) helped
the attack, while Natalie Perrault and Garvens finished
with 16 and 12 digs, respectively. Sophomore Kami
Eberle led the defense with 2
1/2 blocks.

maintained that community feel, which is what I

really love.
Her work at Communicators of Wisconsin consisted of helping small-to
medium-sized organizations with the tasks an
executive director and
staff would normally do,
such as budgeting, office
administration, event
planning and commu nity relations. Those are
all areas shell cover at
VACC.
They asked me what
the one area of the job I
thought might be more of
a challenge, and I really
couldnt think of one,
she said. Im a unique
mix of enjoying database
management and financial
reconciliation and finding
everything down to the
last penny, but I also love
the social aspect of getting out and meeting people and putting together
events.
Strutz said the chamber
received around 16 or 18
applications for the position and offered interviews to four candidates.
One of the final four took
a position elsewhere, so
that left three interviews.
Two of them were
very close, so we asked
two of the individuals
to carry out this special
project to help us see if
this could tip the scales,
Strutz said.
That project was to do
preliminary planning for
the chambers annual dinner, which has regularly
been a Casino Night in
recent years.
Jordan said she tried to
come up with something
beyond the traditional, as
she always tries to give
new life to any event she
can.
Apparently they liked
(my proposal), she said
with a laugh.
Strutz cited Jordans

understanding of the
importance of getting out
of the office to meet with
people and business experience as key reasons she
was the final choice.
Over the past 23 years,
she and her husband have
run their own business,
he said. She understands
what it means that I have
to make this business go
or I dont eat.
Jordan and Strutz both
said a top priority in the
near term is increasing
membership, and Jordan
said she was excited to
tackle that challenge and
ensure she can walk the
very fine line of making
sure to represent every
chamber member, even
though some can have
competing interests at
times.
Over the years, having
dealt with a variety of different associations Ive
developed a sense of how
that works, she said.
Jordan also wants to
continue to grow events
that are relatively new to
the chamber, like Hometown Days which it took
over two years ago and
the music festival, which
debuted this summer.
Im hoping that we
are able to continually
increase those and make
them larger and also make
sure that surrounding
communities know about
them, she said.
Strutz said the chamber
is deciding whether there
will be an official meetand-greet event, but the
Mix and Mingle event
Dec. 3 will offer an opportunity to meet Jordan,
who he said impressed the
executive committee in
many ways throughout her
interview process.
Le was always at the
top of the list, he said.

Career: Program will likely spread in district

this semester at the middle
school to focus on a range
of careers.
They kind of provide
a window to what the job
actually is, Valadez said.
It made me more excited.
The program is new this
fall to BRMS, and will likely spread to Savanna Oaks
Middle School in February
or March, said SOMS counselor Sarah Holzum.
BRMS and Core Knowledge Charter School counselor Amie Pittman, who
has run the program there,
said the program is aimed at
making that pathway to a
future job for students.
The way their faces light
up when they actually get
somebody in front of them,
lots of questions, she said.
I cant always answer
those questions.
Pittman hopes the program eventually can grow
into something for all
eighth-graders, with speakers in both the spring and
fall at her school, though
she knows that wont happen this year.
So far, agriculturalist
Pam Jahnke and state Dept.
of Corrections deputy secretary Deirdre Morgan have
followed Tubon, with the
final session of the semester
set for Nov. 17 on women
in engineering. Pittman said
they have a goal of covering as many of 16 career
clusters as they can.
Diller said Jahnkes visit helped her understand
more fully what agriculture
includes.
I kind of knew that agriculture wasnt just farming,
but it kind of showed how
big it is and how important, she said.
The event takes place
instead of the recess portion
of lunch for eighth-graders
who so choose. That setup
has led to smaller participation so far, Pittman said,
but she has high hopes for
the final event now that the
weather is colder.

Thirty-seven kids attended the first session, 12
attended the second and
around 20 attended the
third. The students said
the key to their excitement
about the program was
hearing from experts in person, instead of the average
classroom experience.
Theyre telling us about
it, Diller said. If we have
questions, they can answer
the questions, rather than
just reading or listening to a
recording or something.
Speakers so far have
offered to have individual
kids contact them, as well,
Pittman noted. Tubon even
offered to have them come
see the lab, and Pittman
said shes trying to organize
a trip there next semester.

first steps to future connections to other places, Valadez said.

The Verona Cemetery
came into being in 1848.
Josiah Matts was the owner
of all the land east of Main

that to the Town of Verona
for $1 to start a cemetery.
The first burial recorded is
that of Joseph Nye on May
8, 1848.

Lions purchase park benches

The Verona Lions Club recently purchased two park benches to honor two of its members for their 50 years of continuous service,
most recently with the Verona Lions. Pictured from left is club president Brian McKay, Bill Urban, Chuck Barrett and city park director Dave Walker. Barrett joined the Lions in Lexington, Ky. in 1966 and transferred his membership to Verona in 2002. Urban joined
in 1966 with the Tomah Lions and transferred to Verona in 2013. The city installed the benches at Tower Park in the Hawthorne Hills
subdivision. After adopting the park, the Verona Lions have maintained the plantings around the park sign, and also added a tree and
bench in previous years.
