Huge hotel, new West End on agenda
Big box plans replaced
with new ideas
JIM FEROLIE
Verona Press editor
If youve lived in Verona a
while, you might remember the
days when T. Wall Properties and
Clark Street Development were
competing for the right to bring
a Kohls-anchored commercial
development to Verona.
With big boxes all the rage in
2007-08 and each representing
an area served by a high-capacity
off-ramp from the U.S. 18-151
bypass, they sparred back and
forth in separate appearances in
front of the Plan Commission
and Common Council and in the
media.
How times have changed.
Both properties have major
projects coming before the city
next week, and not only are they
not in competition, neither has a
big box and the projects are not
remotely similar.
Vanta Commercial Properties
which last month changed its
name from T. Wall and no longer
answers to company founder Ter-
rence Wall is responding to cur-
rent economic conditions with a
significantly reduced commercial
area at the West End fronting a
40-acre spot for the Verona Area
School District.

A dream comes to an end
Hoffman, three other VAHS teachers leave with 91 years in district
SCOTT GIRARD
Unified Newspaper Group
For Kevi n Hof f man,
t eachi ng i n t he Verona
Area School District was a
dream job.
He had known it since his
senior year in high school
in 1975. Its the same high
school he will retire from at
the end of this year after 24
years.
The Verona Area High
School agriculture teach-
er, who is also heavily
involved as an advisor for
Future Farmers of America,
began his teaching career in
Barneveld, where he spent
nine years before receiv-
ing the chance he wanted to
return to his hometown.
It was surreal, Hoffman
said. Hopefully I made a
difference in some peoples
lives positively.
Sci ence t eacher Ann
Moffat, physical education
teacher Dan Bergsbaken
and English teacher Susan
Jane Watson join Hoffman
to create a void of 91 years
of VASD experience head-
ing into next year at the
high school.
VAHS pri nci pal Pam
Hammen cited the student
relationships, both personal
and on a level of develop-
ing long-term interests, the
teachers have built in their
careers at the school as
something that will be sore-
ly missed.

Thank you to Leo Peterson, Slick Homee and the staff
of the Firehouse Bar & Grill for hosting a benet for me
on May 10. I have been living for the last two years
with ALS. Because ALS is a disease that attacks the
bodys muscles, I can no longer speak, have trouble
swallowing and my legs are so weak I need a wheel-
chair to get around. There is no cure for ALS. I am at
the point now where I need nursing care, so the benet
money will help pay someone to come into my home to
help my husband, Tom care for me so that I can stay in
my home rather than go to a nursing home. I want to
thank my family for everything they did for the benet.
I also want to thank all of the local businesses for their
donations for the silent auction as well as all of the
people who made cash donations. The money raised
will go a long way in paying for my care. I am eternally
grateful for the generosity of this community.

from local people who would
stop to talk to him after a sto-
ry in the Verona Press helped
announce the campaign.
The support so far has
been staggering, he said in
an email to the Press.
The campaign began May
1 and, with more than 450
people donating, was fund-
ed by May 23. Thats good
news for Haack because part
of Kickstarter.coms rules
is that each project must
have a definitive beginning
and end, and if the project
doesnt reach its funding
goal it receives no funding.
The deadline for Haacks
project is May 31, and even
though it reached the goal,
the project can still get
donations until then.
The project already sur-
passed the $25,000 mark by
more than $1,000 and has
garnered donations from
people from around the world
including from the United
Kingdom and Australia.
With more funding will
come more copies of the
book. He initially hoped
to print around 1,000, but
he told the Verona Press in
an email Monday that hes
looking into creating an app
and interactive digital book
for the project, as well.

giving away
compost,
will close
sites in July
Dane County will give
away compost by the car
and truckload for free dur-
ing the next several weeks
before closing later this
summer due to a projected
loss of compostable mate-
rial.
The count y compost
sites in Verona and Wau-
nakee will stay open until
around July 1 to help back-
yard gardeners and grow-
ers get through another
growing season. After that,
the two sites will close.
The county will offer
one load of free compost
for residential use per per-
son, per day, to exhaust
its current stockpile. The
Verona compost site will
be open from 7 a.m. to 3
p.m. Monday through Fri-
day, and 7 a.m. to 11 a.m.
on Saturday. The site is
closed on Sundays.
Dane County executive
Joe Parisi said in a news
release that nearby munici-
palities have signed agree-
ments to send leaves and
other material elsewhere,
meaning the county wont
have enough material to
compost in the future.
While the situation is
not ideal, we hope resi-
dents will take advantage
of our compost giveaway
to start this growing sea-
son, Parisi said.
Madison has signed an
agreement with a compa-
ny in DeForest to process
all of the leaves and yard
waste picked up by the
city. Material from Madi-
son represented nearly 80
percent of the content that
had been brought to the
countys compost sites and
convert ed i nt o compost
and mulch.
After the compost sites
close this summer, resi-
dent s wi l l st i l l be abl e
to drop off compost at a
compost operation at the
countys Rodefeld Landfill
(7102 U.S. Hwy. 12 near
Cottage Grove), but com-
post will no longer be sold.
The landfill is also home
t o t he count y s Cl ean
Sweep program.
For more information on
the compost site closure
and the free compost offer,
residents are encouraged
to call John Welch at 267-
8815.

Police hold active shooter training drill
Passing by Stoner Prai-
rie Elementary School last
Tuesday might have set off
some alarm bells to wor-
ried neighbors, as police
cars, fire engines and EMS
trucks were all parked in
front of the school.
But not to worry, as it
was only a drill to help
e me r ge nc y pe r s onne l
ensure they are ready if an
emergency situation ever
does present itself.
Safety personnel from
Fitchburg and Verona, the
two cities that send stu-
dents to the Verona Area
School Di st ri ct , j oi ned
together to go through an
active shooter situation
three times at the school.
The May 20 training was
a preparation for another
drill as well, planned for
Aug. 19 at Savanna Oaks
Middle School.
Fitchburg Police Depart-
ment Lt. Chad Brecklin
said the August date will
feature a full-scale event,
while this focused on a spe-
cific emergency situation.
After each run-through,
t h e g r o u p me t a n d
debriefed on what went
right and wrong.
The training came as
VASD begins to rework
its crisis communication
plan after a recent com-
munications audit found
the district was behind in
the area. The district will
spend $36,000 to outsource
the creation of a new plan
to Voss and Associates.

Whats the meaning
behind that mascot?
A
s Donald Sterling has
proved, racism is sadly all
too alive in America.
To the NBAs credit, with the
backing of all the other teams
owners, they dealt with this mat-
ter swiftly and decisively, expel-
ling the Los Angeles Clippers
owner from the NBA.
Sports in America are a high-
profile, micro-
cosm mirror of
the country. At
the same time,
its reflection
has unique,
influential pow-
ers over the
countrys col-
lective behavior
and values.
Sterling was
the overt racist among us, and the
NBAs message has far-reaching
influence. However, there are far
more subtle and accepted forms
of racism out there daily, and
sports reflect those, as well.
Owners of teams in other
sports should follow the NBAs
example. Their fight likely would
not be against overt racism, but
instead against the subtle, per-
vasive, quiet-message-racism
of owners who continue to use
Native American team names,
mascots, and logos.
The NFL has the Redskins and
Chiefs; MLB has the Braves and
Indians; and the NHL has the
Blackhawks as Native American
team names in the other major
professional sports leagues.
The pros are not the only prob-
lem. In fact, it becomes more
pervasive the deeper we slip
into the common culture of the
American sports system. Col-
leges and universities also bear
responsibility for this continued
and outdated practice.
Certainly, there are plenty of
outdated college and university
team names, like the Oberlin
College Yeomen or the Purdue
Boilermakers. There are also
oxymoronic names, like Wilm-
ington College Fighting Quakers,
or names that modern interpre-
tation makes them comical or
inappropriate like the Earlham
College Hustlin Quakers (think
street hustler), Rhode Island
College Anchormen (think Ron
Burgundy), or the Idaho Vandals
(think spray paint).
But silly as they sometimes
are, none of these are offensive.
For example, while Ive known
an Irishman or two whove got-
ten into their share of scraps, the
Notre Dame Fighting Irish is not
a stereotype that is offensive to
Irish-Americans in the same way
the North Dakota Fighting Sioux
is to Native Americans.
Im sure there could be dis-
sertation papers written on why
that is, but in this case, does the
why really matter? Its kind of
common sense. If something is
offensive, its not respectful to
continue it.
Where the problem grows more
entangled into local culture is
at the local school district level.
This affects every state, includ-
ing Wisconsin.
In fact, on Dec. 19, 2013
Governor Walker signed a bill
into law that rewrote a 2010
law. Doing so made it more dif-
ficult to change schools Native
American team names, mascots,
or logos. It put the burden of
proof on the person making the
complaint that the team name or
mascot promotes discrimination
by requiring signatures from dis-
trict residents equal to 10 percent
of the student population of the
district.
So lets think about this. An
outside group, in fact a race of
people, is offended by the use of
names, images and mascots that
it claims discriminates against
them. Yet the only way the com-
plaint is taken seriously is if at
least 10 percent of the insiders
who are not of this race decide
it is offensive to the people tak-
ing offense.
Dont get me wrong, I think
theres a lot of protection and
political correctness gone over-
board in American culture, but
we know how derisive and divi-
sive racial issues can be.
Perhaps we would we think of
this differently if it were one of
the other protected classes. What
if it were women who were upset
that a female stereotype was
being used as a logo? Or what if
it were a team with an Over the
Hill-40 year old mascot stereo-
type? Better yet, what if it was a
veterans image being used as a
football team logo that veterans
felt cheapened the sacrifices they
made?
I suspect readers will agree
that these protected classes have
come a long way since the times
when stereotypes for each class
were perpetuated. Native Ameri-
cans have changed as well.
Native Americans, similarly
to Jews, are a race with religion
intertwined. Also like Jews,
Native Americans suffered their
own Holocaust; first at the hands
of disease and colonial wars, and
later through imprisonment and
outright extermination efforts by
the United States government.
Yet, I doubt we would ever con-
sider using stereotype imagery of
Jews for sports teams.
Sticking with religion, what if
the image were of a priest with
an altar boy? This is the level
of misrepresentation that Native
American images represent when
used as team names, mascots,
and logos.
Misrepresentation is a quiet
form of discrimination, espe-
cially when its done knowingly.
If we want to be a country where
we are truly free of discrimina-
tion, we need to look into those
corners of society to see what
really hides in them.
Dealing with the Donald Ster-
lings in society is the easy part.
Its time we do the deeper dig-
ging and look closer into that
mirror.
That is as simple as voting with
the money we spend at sporting
events, with calls to our legis-
lators, and with our actions as
examples to future generations.

Letters to the editor
Land purchase needs good bike access
I read the article about the pro-
posed purchase of 40 acres of land
for a school.
That seems a good plan, but I
hope that access will be provided
to the bicycle trail, as was sup-
posed to happen with the previous
approval for T. Wall to develop
that land.
Sure, Epic made a connection
north of the bypass bridge, but it
is dangerous.

KSW Construction is
bringing plans for a 218-
room hotel. Thats more
than double the size of the
Holiday Inn Express and
roughly comparable to the
Monona Terrace Hilton in
downtown Madison.
Both plans are still in the
conceptual phase, in what the
city terms an initial review,
seeking feedback and enough
agreement for developers to
find value in investing fur-
ther money into the projects.
But if carried out, they repre-
sent enormous changes from
the pre-recession days, when
developers were crawling all
over each other to bring retail
stores here.
It seems i ncreasi ngl y
unlikely that the west side of
Verona will ever have a big
box store, and its uncertain
whether well see one on
Reinkes property, either,
though theres a small sec-
tion of his 240 acres where it
still is feasible. The big box-
es now appear to be hotels
and possibly a high school.
West End
The Vanta project, look-
ing much more basic now,
still reserves a spot for two
properties owned by other
companies a hotel along
the U.S. Hwy. 18-151 bypass
and a long-planned UW
Credit Union branch along
with other retail that would
surround the apartments. It
also suggests building one
final set of apartments south
of the current set of three
buildings.
The $3.4 million sale of
two-thirds of the property for
less than half the companys
investment suggests a desire
to move on and make the
best out of a bad situation.
A $110 million capital
investment by a New York
firm into T. Wall Proper-
ties in 2007 was followed
by what appeared to be
progress: the burning of a
house on the site and then a
$2.5 million investment in
grading and doing the first
road and utility work in the
summer of 2008. But by
2009, with the economy in
a free-fall, Wall was out as
president and everything had
ground to a halt.
Wall re-emerged in Vero-
na in 2011 to pitch apart-
ments built by his new com-
pany, T. Wall Enterprises,
and suggest that the added
activity would spur UW
Credit Union to finally build
its long-planned bank there,
but things have been quiet
since.
Vanta CEO Randy Guen-
ther told the Press last week
that the original plan, featur-
ing two big-box stores ringed
by smaller retail shops, sim-
ply is no longer feasible.
The l arge-box ret ai l
environment has been very
slow, he said.
Not only that, while the
slopes and the rocky base
under the soil can be made
to work for single-family
homes or a school, theyre
particularly challenging for
large retail developers that
want wide, flat spaces. Big-
box developers just arent
investing that sort of money
to either flatten the ground
or use extraordinary con-
struction techniques in our
post-recession, online-friend-
ly economy.
Guenther said his compa-
ny approached VASD about
a smaller site, suitable for an
elementary school, toward
the back end of the property
but that discussions led to a
much larger area. The new
spot clearly could accommo-
date a high school or some
sort of multi-building cam-
pus that could draw students
from all over the district.
Weve been considering
alternative uses (and) the
school district opportunity
came up, he said. We think
it will ultimately be a good
use on the site.
It wouldnt be surprising
to see Wall return to pitch
yet another set of apartments,
because the new plan would
rezone 5.7 acres between
the currently developed area
and the part that would be
sold to the school as multi-
family (up to 69 units).
Hotel, retail
Reinke, meanwhile, spent
most of 2007-2008 trying
to persuade the city to allow
a big retail development at
whats now known as Lib-
erty Business Park. And after
he agreed to start with indus-
trial and office development
in 2009, the project went
through several false starts.
But the city installed utili-
ties and part of a road last
year and KSW construction
broke ground on a building
last month that will include
its new headquarters.
Next week it will bring
plans for a three-story hotel
and a third multi-user build-
ing on the site this time a
17,000-square-foot, two-sto-
ry office-over-retail building
that appears to be set up for
two restaurants with patios.
If the hotel comes to frui-
tion, Reinkes company still
might not meet its 2015 obli-
gations that came from the
citys use of tax-increment
financing, but probably
would more than catch up for
it in 2016.
The 144, 435- squar e-
foot hotel would feature an
on-site public restaurant, a
100-person meeting room
space, a pool, a sizeable fit-
ness center and a meeting
room space that can handle
100 people. It would be dou-
ble the capacity of the citys
current biggest hotel, the
Holiday Inn Express on West
Verona Avenue.
Located on the west side
of Liberty Drive, there would
be room (and proper zon-
ing) for some small retail to
go in between it and County
Highway M.
Though Liberty and KSW
both have had their share of
projects that didnt pan out
in recent years, city planning
director Adam Sayre said
hes hopeful because my
understanding is they have a
hotel flag lined up.
Several steps would need
to be taken before it could
break ground, including
combining properties and
vacating a road, and Sayre
said he was told construction
would be about 15 months,
which would effectively put
the opening in spring 2016.
Other items
The commission will also
be following up on sev-
eral issues that came up last
month.
The one that has yielded
the most discussion is the
Sugar River United Method-
ist Church move, which got
the support of the Common
Council and Plan Commis-
sion in informal votes earlier
this month.
Also included are the
two-story Epic construction
annex that will eventually
replace the current single-
story building, another step
for the Hometown Grove
development that barely
won an initial, but impor-
tant approval last month and
apartments at Scenic Ridge.
The commission will also
begin discussing the North
Neighborhood Plan, which
would be the first of several
required steps in a several-
month process before the city
can stretch north to County
Highway PD.
The plan shows a space
for a school in the middle
surrounded by mostly medi-
um-density housing, some
room for apartments and a
commercial area on the cor-
ner of County Highways PD
and M. But the plan is still
in the early stages and could
change significantly before it
is submitted.

Being a Saint
Do you expect to become a Saint? Perhaps you should.
Have you ever noticed that just about every person in the
Bible who is chosen by God for some important mission
balks at the idea? It almost seems as if it is bad form
to be too ready and willing to be Gods standard-bearer.
Moses was full of excuses for why he couldnt be Gods
mouthpiece, chief among them that he didnt speak well.
Young Samuel thought he was hearing his master Elis voice
when he was really hearing the voice of God. And, even
Jesus appeared to have His moment of doubt, asking His
heavenly Father to remove this cup from me in the garden
at Gethsemane (Mark 14: 36). The life of a saintly person is
likely to be more filled with doubts than that of the ordinary
man or woman, not less. Perhaps that is because so much
more is asked of the saintly man and woman. How could
one fail to be doubtful when facing such fearful circumstanc-
es as martyrdom? Ultimately, we are all called to be saints,
because God is both our origin and our ultimate goal.
- Christopher Simon via Metro News Service
To all those in Rome who are loved by God and called to be
saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the
Lord Jesus Christ.

Other retirements
When I think of each
of these teachers, I think of
the positive relationships
theyve developed with stu-
dents, whether theyre in
their classes or maybe not
even in their classes and
how those relationships will
impact those students even
after they leave Verona Area
High School, Hammen said
Tuesday. Sometimes we as
educators may not fully real-
ize in the moment the impact
those relationships have, and
how powerful they can be.
Moffat and Watson
Moffat , who t eaches
Advanced Placement classes
in Physics and Chemistry and
began using a flipped class-
room model last year to real-
ly good results, said a number
of factors made this year the
right time for her to retire after
20 years in the district and 30
years of teaching overall.
There are some things
coming down the road that
Im thinking, Oh my gosh
how am I going to do that?
Moffat said, mentioning per-
sonalized learning and other
new ideas spreading through
the education world. Ive
got the time, Ive got the
years in, Im at a place in my
life where Im ready to take
another risk and test some-
thing new or different.
She recalled beginning her
time at VAHS as the only
woman on the science staff,
and now seeing so many
staff members that there are
some she doesnt even know.
Watson mentioned the
schools growth in her 29
years as a major change as
well, one that brought both
positives and negatives.
I felt like I knew the entire
district staff, K-12, Watson
said, recalling meetings in
the Sugar Creek step room
that fit all of them when she
began teaching here.
But the growth has helped
the community embrace the
arts, something she appreci-
ated as an English teacher,
and has created an amazing
community to teach in.
She said she kept her enthu-
siasm for the job because of
discussions among her stu-
dents during class where she
could see their passions and
interests come out.
That helps me feel like
Im alive, she said. I went
home at the end of the day
and thought, Wow what a
great day.
Moffat said she enjoyed
seeing her students find suc-
cess, especially seeing them
step out of their comfort zone
and work in programs like
that in which her physics
students taught elementary
school students on the sub-
ject.
Ive been really blessed
in that the classes that Ive
taught are elective classes, so
I get the kids that want to be
there, she said. I just get a
kick out of sharing the stuff
with them.
Bergsbaken
Bergsbaken held a few dif-
ferent roles around the dis-
trict in his time, beginning
as a substitute teacher in the
early 1990s.
He later became the build-
ing sub for VAHS, and then
moved to working one-on-
one with a struggling stu-
dent before being placed
with the at risk students in
the schools VIP program.
When that program began
to change a few years ago,
he was offered a chance to
return to his physical educa-
tion roots he had started his
career as a phy ed teacher in
Madison schools.
Just put somebody in a
physical arena where theyve
got to compete and pro-
duce, not only individually
but with a team, and thats
the best way to get to know
somebodys heart and soul,
Bergsbaken said of his draw
to phy ed.
The 62-year-old said he
will miss the students the
most, especially hearing
words of praise from them.
The coolest thing I heard
one time, because I had (a
students) brother and helped
him through some tough
times, (the student) said to
me, Mr. B youre my favor-
ite teacher and I never had
you, he said. That beats
any plaque or whatever
somebody wants to hand
you ever, words from kids
like that. You cant buy that
stuff.
Once a teacher...
Each of the four teachers
has some relaxation in their
plans, and most will find a
way to continue educating
others.
Watson plans to open a
pilates studio, something shes
always enjoyed teaching. Mof-
fat hopes to help supervise stu-
dent teachers, tutor, work with
the Boys and Girls Club and
find other ways to be involved
with children between travel-
ing with her husband.
Hoffman will continue
some of his work with FFA,
specifically in serving at the
FFA alumni vice president for
another year. Bergsbaken will
move to northern Wisconsin
and has a goal to get sick of
fishing and hunting. Thats it.
But Hoffman, who recalled
a vacation in 1984 and maybe
one since then, looks forward
to a small change from the
24-year routine hes devel-
oped of taking care of the ani-
mals and his other duties at the
school, whether on an average
Tuesday during the school
year or Christmas morning.
Id like to see what its
like not to come to school for
a day, Hoffman said with a
laugh.

Verona High School and will be
a freshman at Winona State next
year and my oldest daughter
is a senior at UW-Eau Claire.
Watching them grow up in Verona,
being taught by the finest teach-
ers around defines my career at
Verona.
Retirement plans: My wife and I
plan to spend more time together,
traveling, boating and enjoying
Wisconsin and Florida more.

Bonnie Klassy, Savanna Oaks
Years of experience: 22 years I began as a shared
teacher with the high school and middle school. I was
then shared between two middle schools. The last six
years I have been on leave 50 percent in order to teach
at UW-Madison in the School of Education. I have always
been on the road.
Hometown: New Glarus. My familial roots are Swiss.
Education: I have a major in Family and Consumer
Education, a minor in Health, and a Masters in Curriculum
and Instruction.
Why retiring now? Most educators will say it is not
a rational decision to retire, it is a heart decision. It is
just time for me to leave. I will continue my work with
UW-Madison preparing Health students to become Health
teachers.
Retirement plans: Continue to work part-time and be at
waters edge in Door County.
Custodian: Every day a highlight for 31 years
Ken Anderson has seen
plenty in 31 years and four
different schools around the
Verona Area School District
as a custodian.
At the end of the year, the
current Verona Area High
School head custodian will
hang up his keys.
It was time, the 70-year-
old Anderson said last week
in his basement office at the
high school.
Anderson, who began as
a night custodian at VAHS
31 years ago, also spent time
at Country View and Stoner
Prairie elementary schools
and Savanna Oaks Middle
School. That gave him a
chance to first meet students
in their kindergarten years
and then see them grow up
when he returned to the high
school 10 years ago.
It was fun to see all the
students that remember the
things that we did in the ele-
mentary schools, Anderson
said. Cleaning the marks off
the floors, the garbage can
rides, it was fun to hear their
stories.
While that was one of the
experiences Anderson said he
enjoyed in his time, he had a
tough time choosing anything
specific hell miss. Its simply
everything.
I liked every minute I was
here, he said. Every time
you turn the key to the door,
you never know what youre
walking into.
Trouti Winkelman, who
has spent 15 years in the dis-
trict and is a special education
assistant at VAHS, and Ruth
Olson, a cook at SP for eight
years, join Anderson as sup-
port staff on their way out at
the end of the year.
Verona Area High School head custodian Ken Anderson sits at his desk in his basement office at VAHS.
Anderson will retire after 31 years as a district custodian at four different schools.
Also retiring: Sharon Smith, 19 years, Country View, who declined to take part in the
survey.

Pletta plays to runner-up
finish at No. 2 singles
JEREMY JONES
Sports editor
Sophomore Alex Pletta knew mov-
ing from No. 4 singles to No. 2 this
season was going to be a big jump,
but just how big a jump was a sur-
prise to even him.
Pletta was the only Wildcat to
reach the championship match of last
weeks Big Eight Conference tourna-
ment inside Nielsen Tennis Stadium.
Though he cruised to the first
round on Tuesday, Pletta found
himself pushed to the brink in the

Olson, Queoff, Nameth earn titles
JEREMY JONES
Sports editor
Freshman Kailey Olson won
the high jump with a personal best
height of 5 feet, 2 inches Tuesday
at the WIAA Division 1 regional at
Verona Area High School.
It was pretty amazing, Olson
said. Ive been going at it all year,
jumping 4-10 pretty much every
time. To get above 5 feet and now
5-2 in consecutive weeks, its pretty
cool.
Senior Lexy Richardson added a
second-place finish in the high jump.
With Lexys back problems it
was cool to see her do really well
again, Olson said. It was nice just
to be able to cheer each other on.
Though the girls high jump was
long since over, lightning led to
a nearly hour-long postponement
shortly before 7 p.m. with rain fol-
lowing 20 minutes after.
Freshman Sieanna Mitchell
(13.28) finished second in the 100,
while teammate Dajah Jones fin-
ished just behind in third place.
Sophomore Autumn Gaillard (34)
PRed by nearly two feet to finish
second in the triple jump.
All four relays advanced as the
4x200 and 4x400 took second, while
the 4x800 and 4x100 took third.
Senior Nicole Zimbrick and Han-
nah Semmann finished third and
fourth in the pole vault.
Securing the final sectional berths
were: Europa Christoffel (long
jump), Lexy Alt (200) and the 4x200
relay.
The defending regional cham-
pions, Verona finished second to
Stoughton 138-103.
Boys
Senior Steven Queoff and junior
Ryan Nameth both secured regional
titles Tuesday evening.
Despite not performing his best,
Queoff still managed to earn him-
self a regional championship with a
height of 6-1 in the high jump.
It always feels good to win, but
it would have almost felt better to
take second and perform my best,
he said.
Queoff watched former teammate
Matt Dietlin advance to state where
he and rival Andy Keeler of Middle-
ton both placed in the top three. This
season Queoff is hoping for a taste of
his first state meet.
Ive competed with those guys
for a long time, and it would be nice
to achieve the same things, Queoff
said. But really its been a personal
goal of mine for a long time.
While Nameth battled through
an injury-plagued sophomore sea-
son, the junior has already raced
to a runner-up finish at the WIAA

1 regi onal
at Pleasant
View Golf
Course.
One after one, five play-
ers from t he Wi l dcat s,
Waunakee and Sauk Prai-
rie battled it out to see
which team would survive
and move on.
Verona came close after
three pars and two bogeys
to finish with an 18 on the
extra hole. But Waunakee
did one better with a 17,
ending the Wildcats sea-
son.
At the beginning of the
day, if you said we would
have a shot in a playoff for
a final spot, I would have
been OK with that, head
coach Jon Rebholz said.
But I st i l l t hought we
could make it in.
Verona entered the club-
house in the first group
tied with Sauk Prairie with
a 341. With Middleton,
Madison Memorial, Wau-
nakee and Oregon left on
the course, the Wildcats
were going to need a little
luck to make a sectional
berth as a team.
After Middleton (308),
Madison Memorial (314)
and Oregon (323) clinched
spots. Waunakee shot a
341, forcing a three-team
tiebreaker hole.

the rarest of tiebreakers,
and pars by sophomore
Ni ck Mel and, freshman
Wi l l Zunker and j uni or
Joey McCormick helped
put Verona in contention.
Seni ors John Tacket t
and Riley Schmitz both
bogeyed the playoff hole,
and it was a tough end to
their high school careers,
as both finished with 83s
for the tournament and did
not move on as individuals.
I f eel bad f or t he
seni ors, Rebhol z sai d.
You want to go out and
let the seniors play as long
as possible. John has been
a warrior this year, and
Riley has had a couple of
good rounds too.
Tackett put up some
unbelievable rounds this
year. Ri l ey had a ni ce
stretch and played great at
the Morgan Stanley Invite.
That group of golfers there
... that is a really impres-
sive finish for him.
The future does seem
bri ght for t he Wi l dcat s
with the experience gained
by the younger golfers, and
it was an interesting way to
end the season.
Although we are not
moving on, it is a pretty
neat experience, for the
younger guys especially,
to be put in the pressure
cooker like that. I am sure
if you asked all the guys on
the tee of the playoff, there
voices would have been
trembling a little bit.
Zunker shot an 84, and
McCormick finished Vero-
nas scoring with a 91.
Meland shot a 95.
I think any playoff golf
whether it is an extra
hole or the regionals itself
is really helpful for the
young guys, Rebhol z
said. There is an elevated
sense of urgency probably.
Just to get a taste of that is
going to be beneficial in
the long run.
The individuals moving
on to sectionals with Mid-
dleton, Memorial, Oregon
and Waunakee are Sauk
Prairie juniors Darrin Puls-
fus (77) and Jack Rauner
(81) and Stoughton senior
Max Fergus (82) and Sam
Anderson (78).
Big Eight meet
The Wildcats had their
work cut out for t hem-
selves if they were going
to crack the top 4 at the
Big Eight Conference meet
Tuesday at Evansville Golf
Course.
The Wi l dcat s, whi ch
took third place with a 341,
were up against Middleton
(313) and Madison Memo-
rial (343), two teams that
were consistently in the
low 300s-320s this season,
Beloit Memorial (331) and
Janesville Parker (367).
Verona did have a bet-
ter nine-hole average than
Parker (171.25- 175.95)
coming in but were in the
second group due to dual
conference record. The
Wildcats were able to jump
the Vikings and the Spar-
tans into third.
Tackett led the way with
an 82 just missing the top
10 by a scorecard playoff
while McCormick and
Zunker each added an 86.
Schmitz followed with an
87.
Austin Lois shot a 101,
but his score didnt count
for the team.
The t op 10 i ndi vi du-
als were: Beloits Kolton
Kelley (74), Middletons
Emmett Herb (76), Mid-
dletons Joey Levin (78),

Cats drop three games
ANTHONY IOZZO
School baseball team had a
tough week, dropping games
to Janesville Parker, 8-3,
Beaver Dam, 4-3 and Madi-
son East, 9-5.
Verona finishes the regu-
lar season with two games
this week. It travels to Man-
sfield Stadium to take on
Madison West at 5 p.m.
Thursday and travels to Fire-
mans Park in Cottage Grove
to take on Monona Grove at
5 p.m. Friday.
Parker 8, Verona 3
A five-run third inning
was too much to overcome
for the Wildcats last Thurs-
day at Riverside Park.
Verona scored a run in
the second, third and fifth
innings for its only runs.
Sophomor e Keat on
Knueppel hit an RBI sin-
gle to score junior David
Rogowski in the top of the
fifth to cut Janesvilles lead
to 5-3. The hit also loaded
the bases with no out.
The Wildcats failed to
score again, however, as two
strikeouts and a fly out ended
the inning.
Senior John Moynihan has
an RBI walk in the third, and
junior Brodie Roehrig hit an
RBI sacrifice fly in the sec-
ond.
Moynihan picked up the
loss. He went six inning and
allowed three earned runs on
nine hits. He struck out seven
and walked three.
Collin Powers was the
winner for Parker. He went
five innings and allowed
three earned runs on three
hits. He struck out six and
walked seven.
Darin Brewster picked up
the save. He struck out four
in two innings of relief.
Beaver Dam 4, Verona 3
Verona tied Beaver Dam
with two runs in the top of
the fourth last Friday, and
it tied the game again in the
fifth with a run. But that was
all the offense the Wildcats
could muster up in the loss.
Moynihan singled in
senior Mitch Flora to knot
the game at 3-all in the fifth,
but Beaver Dam retook the

in sophomore Ben Rortvedt
in the fourth for the Wildcats
first run, and senior Ryan
Pynnonen hit an RBI sacrifice

East 9, Verona 5
The Wildcats hosted Madi-
son East on Tuesday and
dropped the Big Eight Confer-
ence game 9-5.
The game was called in the
sixth due to poor field con-
ditions created by thunder-
storms that rolled through the
area.
Verona cut a 7-2 deficit to
7-5 in the bottom of the sec-
ond but the offense stopped
there.
Senior Tony Granick sin-
gled in Rogowski to start the
scoring in the second, and
Flora scored on an error.
Moynihan later hit a sacri-
fice fly to score Granick.
East started with two runs
in the first, but the Wildcats
were able to tie the game in
the bottom of the inning.
Flora and Granick scored
on an error.
Pynnonen picked up the
loss. Pynnonen allowed five
earned runs on six hits in one
inning. He struck out two and
walked one.
Connor Volker finished
the game. Volker went five
innings and allowed an earned
run on five hits. He struck out
four and walked four.
Cameron Cratic picked up
the win for the Purgolders.
Cratic pitched 5 1/3 innings
and allowed an earned run on
five hits. He walked three and
struck out one.

The Wildcats (9-6-3 over-
all, 5-1-2 conference) are

ence (6-7-1 overall).
Senior forward Felicia

semifinals before eventually
falling 6-1, 6-2 to Middle-
ton senior Ben Luskin.
I think its good that I
reached the championship
match, Pletta said. I had
a tough match earlier in the
day against Sun Prairie, so
I was really glad I got the
chance to play in the cham-
pionship.
Pletta survived a 7-5, 7-5
battle against Sun Prairie
senior Keegan Moldenhauer
in the semifinals, opened
the tournament by blow-
ing past Beloit sophomore
Drew Collins 6-1, 6-1.

gles player Patrick Conley,
seeded f our t h, cr ui sed
through a first-round match
against Madison Memorials
Alessandro Puglielli before
droppi ng a hard-fought
three-setter against Sun Prai-
rie top-seeded Yuri Dreno-
ske 3-6, 6-3, 6-2.
Conley went on to defeat
third-seeded junior Dan Jin

(5) in the third-place match.

Division 1 state cross country meet. And
hes shooting for similar results at state.
First, however, Nameth had to take
care of business at regionals blowing the
field away.
Its great to repeat as the regional
champion, he said. Being healthy
this season, I certainly thought that was
within my reach.
Both Nameth, who will also run on
the 4x800 at sectionals, and Queoff
will be among the top athletes in their
respective events come Friday in Lake
Geneva.
Fellow distance runner, Ben Feller
finished second in the 800, while the
4x800 also matched the finish.
Verona advanced a pair in both
throwing events as senior Adam Stiner
and freshman Austin Schwartz took
third and fourth in the shot put and
Stiner (141-4) and junior Noah Roberts
finished second and fourth in the discus.
Freshman Jack Herkert, who had tied
the freshman high jump record earlier
this season, broke it with a height of 6-1
good for second place.
Alec Shiva placed in the mile, while
fellow sophomore Brady Traeder
advanced in the two mile.
Junior Cameron Tindall added a third-
place finish in the 100.
Taking fourth place as the final sec-
tional qualifiers were: seniors Steven
Hartnett (110 & 300 hurdles), junior
Jacob Auman (triple jump), junior Cam-
eron Tindall (100 dash), the 4x200 and
4x400 relays.
Verona (150) dominated the meet,
scoring 37 more points than runner-up
Janesville Craig.
We have a lot of depth, but you need
to have a lot of top-end talent to advance
through sectionals, so well see how
things go on Friday, Wildcats head
coach Joff Pedretti said.

Verona History
February
40 years ago
The village and town boards gave
approval to buy eight acres from the
county for a community center. The
center was never built, but a fire sta-
tion was put on the land instead.
The plan at the time was to dedi-
cate about 5,000 square feet to village
and town administration and police,
about 10,000 square feet for the fire
station and another 3,000 square feet
for public meeting space.
The fire department, meanwhile,
opposed building a station there at
the time, because its location at the
east end of the village was considered
too far from the firefighters homes.
The boys basketball team set an
all time scoring record in a 102-41
victory over DeForest.
The Dane County Conservation
League gave a presentation to a
joint meeting of the village and town
boards about the Sugar River and
how it had been eroded away from
neglect.
The county began holding a series
of meetings exploring the needs of
seniors as a result of an $80,000
appropriation in the countys budget
for unspecified senior services.
A representative from WHA met
with village officials to prepare them
for future cable television franchising
opportunities, informing them of the
expansion of cable and their rights in
making franchise agreements.
Former Verona High School alge-
bra teacher Nelson Mackin celebrated
his 100th birthday.
The Town of Verona began col-
lecting paper and metal for recycling,
while the village began collecting old
newspapers.
30 years ago
The city approved a referendum
for the April ballot on whether to
pursue construction of a community
park east of the fire station on Lincoln
Street.
The referendum authorized the city
and town to borrow $275,000 each
to develop the land into a baseball
diamond, two softball diamonds, a
soccer field, a multipurpose building,
shelter and parking.
St. Andrew Church celebrated
paying off its 19-year-old mortgage
with a burning ceremony.
The church, which had been found-
ed as a 25-family mission parish 66
years earlier by Fr. Andrew Mason,
had moved into its home on North
Main Street in 1965. It was origi-
nally named after Fr. Mason and later
switched to honor St. Andrew the
Apostle.
The city approved the first phase
of a downtown revitalization study,
which was performed for free by
Ehlers and Associates of Minneapolis.
Ehlers, which is still the citys finan-
cial adviser, used the study to look
into creating a tax-increment financ-
ing district downtown and explore
alternatives, with the hope of con-
tracting with the city on future phases
of the plan, which included paper-
work and public hearings for the TIF
district.
Meanwhile, the Verona Area
Chamber of Commerce, which
endorsed the plan, was working on
its own, complementary downtown
revitalization study.
Verona residents Ken Anderson,
Fred Disch and Ken Herlein traveled
1,056 miles on snowmobiles -- to the
Michigan border at Hurley and back
again -- on a seven-day trip.
The three, aged between 63 and 72,
had planned the trip for several years,
waiting for the weather conditions to
be cooperative.
The city banned the sale of liquor
within 300 feet of an entrance to
a school, hospital or church and
began reviewing the number of liquor
licenses in the city.
The school board debated the
meaning of paternity or adop-
tive proceedings when a teacher
requested seven days off (five paid)
when his wife was to give birth.
Board members and the superinten-
dent argued that the contract referred
to legal proceedings, not childbirth.
Veronas Jacqui Rockweiler
was honored by the Verona Jaycee
Women for being one of 10
Outstanding Young Wisconsinites by
the state Jaycee club. The award rec-
ognized business, civic, political and
religious contributions.
John and Dessy Ponti of Belleville
opened Dessys Burritos on West
Verona Avenue.
20 years ago
Developer Doug Backus present-
ed a proposal for a small mall similar
to Hilldale on the 160 acre Horizon
property on the east side of the city.
The property later was centered
around the Post Office and Park
Printing and treated as an industrial
park but now features a mix of com-
mercial and retail properties.
Community leader Bob Kaeher
died at 55. The Town Pump owner
had been president of the cham-
ber of commerce, commander of the
American Legion, general chairman
of the 1972 quasquicentennial cel-
ebration that begat Hometown Days,
organizer of the Verona Open golf
tournament and was instrumental
in establishing a Vietnam Veterans
memorial and the Hometown
Junction recreational area, which
included two sand volleyball courts,
three horseshoe pits and a shelter.
The district eliminated special
needs screening from its annual kin-
dergarten welcome night.
Many parents had shown anxiety
over the screening, and administra-
tors determined special needs evalu-
ations could be made in other ways.
The school board began looking
into creating a policy to regulate the
use of milk laden with bovine growth
hormone. The Monsanto-created
chemical, which became legal to use
in February, was designed to increase
milk production in cows.
Veterinarian Bill Resop, a school
board candidate, asked the board
to look into the matter and noted
that many other school districts had
banned the chemical.
The parks commission debat-
ed possibly moving the annual
Hometown USA celebration away
from the area it had been held for
several years, the parkland south of
City Hall.
Among the options were Firemans
Park and Badger Prairie Park, but the
discussion didnt last long because
of the extra expense involved. It now
has its own area east of City Hall,
called Festival Park.
A Madison city planner warned
that the cities of Madison and Verona
might some day touch around PD
and M. He noted that a consolidation
would stop Madison from growing
that way.
Two years later, the cities would
sign an agreement creating a green
belt at that PD-M intersection. The
cities are in talks to revise that agree-
ment now.
Hundreds of people toured
Veronas new $1.8 million medical
facility, the Verona Family Medical
clinic at 524 W. Verona Ave.
The clinic later expanded and
moved to North Nine Mound Road,
and the building was repurposed for
a veterinary clinic and now is empty.
Future Olympian Neil Walker
swam to a state record 100 back-
stroke time of 51.54 seconds to win
the Southern Swim Conference title.
Ice Inc. presented preliminary
plans for a $1.1 million hockey rink
to the Plan Commission. What would
become the Eagles Nest showed
seating for 700 on the main floor and
250 in the mezzanine.
Kenneth and Viola Zahler cel-
ebrated their 50th anniversary.
The official expansion of the flood
plain area around the Badger Mill
Creek was the source of some con-
cern.
10 years ago
Construction crews began tear-
ing down all the structures on the
northwest corner of Main Street and
Verona Avenue to make way for a
Walgreens and an extra turn lane
from Main to Verona.
The casualties were one of Veronas
oldest buildings, a former Physicians
Plus clinic, several smaller buildings
and a house.
Several people, including repre-
sentatives of Habitat for Humanity,
gathered as much of the material for
recycling as they could.
Other major projects in a heavy
construction season included the
expansion of World of Variety and
the demolition of the oldest portion of
the Badger Prairie Health Care Center.
Construction on the Verona
Athletic Complex, later named the
MAC Sports Center and now again
the VAC (Verona Athletic Center), a
58,000-square-foot facility with four
basketball courts.
With the impending construc-
tion of Walgreens, the Verona Press
moved its offices to the back of the
120 W. Verona Ave. building it had
been occupying.
Verona police cars replaced their
old rotating roof lights with low-
profile, low-energy LED models.
Police and district officials inter-
vened in a plot in which a Badger
Ridge Middle School student had
hired two Verona Area High School
students to attack another BRMS
student.
A Madison man was charged
with writing more than $1,200 worth
of bad checks to two Verona busi-
nesses.

March 30
9:54 a.m. A 38-year-old man
reported that his neighbors
dogs are allowed to roam free
and defecate on his property on
the 900 block of Questa Ridge
Trail. The neighbors were ver-
bally warned for not keeping
their animals on a leash and
were told to clean up after them.
March 31
2:32 p.m. A 48-year-old
woman reported being fol-
lowed by a burgundy Chevrolet
Malibu after leaving Subway. It
was making many of the same
turns as her throughout the city
but did not follow her into the
police station parking lot.
April 2
A 32-year-old man on the
800 block of Glenview Drive
reported an unknown man
driving slowly past his house
and taking pictures.
April 4
2:12 a.m. After a caller
reported a man stumbling
around on the 400 block of
Venture Court, police contacted
a 36-year-old who said he had
been drinking at Cahoots but
had gotten lost on his way home
due to his night blindness.
12:03 p.m. A business
owner of the 300 block of Main
Street reported a man coming
into his store and helping him-
self to the coffee reserved for
the customers, charging his cell
phone and frequently sitting in
the waiting area. The man was
informed and understood that
he was no longer welcome.
April 5
10:26 a.m. Two women
reported seeing skeletal
remains in the grass on the
2000 block of Old Hwy. PB.
When investigated, it was dis-
covered that the bones were
the carcass of a dead deer that
had gotten its head sawed off.
April 6
12:08 a.m. Eight juvenile
boys were reported for tak-
ing ketchup and mustard
bottles from Wildcat Lanes
and vandalizing property with
them. They had put ketchup
in bowling balls, squeezed the
condiments all over cars in the
parking lot and on the walls
and power unit at Sugar Creek
Elementary School.
April 8
man was cited for his third
OWI offense after being
stopped for exceeding the
speed limit on Main Street.
April 10
woman reported seeing two
kids climbing and jumping
around on the rings in front
of Country View Elementary
School, along with the Dump-
sters on the campus. The two
told police they had only been
doing parkour.
8:24 p.m. An 87-year-old
woman reported being held
prisoner at Four Winds Manor
and said she was afraid the
employees wanted to hurt her.
Employees informed police that
the woman has only been there
for a month and has dementia.
April 12
3:04 a.m. A caller reported a
45-year-old man standing near
picnic tables near Carnes. The

walk and was advised to stay on
public property.
April 13
5:27 p.m. The parents of a
juvenile girl reported having
one of her Instagram follow-
ers post a racist and threat-
ening comment on one of her
pictures. The girl and three of
her friends follow the person
back, but do not know who it
is due to the person recently
changing their profile and
name on the social media app.
April 15
9:38 a.m. A high school
student was found to have
overdosed on Paxil. The
high school nurse had been
advised to call an ambulance
after calling Poison Control.
April 16
1:40 p.m. A caller reported
that an intoxicated 53-year-old
man was asking customers in
the Walgreens parking lot for
money. The man, who has a
long history of such behavior,
was vulgar and uncooperative.
He was also reported for the
same thing at Miller and Sons
Supermarket earlier in the week
and was told he was no longer
welcome at either place.
