District superintendent
Dean Gorrell has applied
for at least three superintendent positions in Ohio
and is a current finalist for
two.
A March 29 story in
the New Albany News
said Gorrell is one of two
finalists for the superintendent position in the
New Albany-Plain Local
Schools district, in New
Albany, Ohio. He is also
one of three finalists in the
Beavercreek City School
District, in Beavercreek,
Ohio, according to that
districts website.
Gorrell declined to
comment before Monday

nights school board meeting.
Verona Area School
Board president Dennis
Beres told the Press last
week the board was aware
of Gorrell seeking work
in Ohio, as
his wife is
a native of
the state.
Hes
kind of
Gorrell
keeping
an eye out
for his own future opportunities, and thats understandable, Beres said. It
also shows hes in high
demand.
Beres said the board
would want him to stay,
and would consider how
to make that happen if he
receives an offer.

Quinn-Stevenson, in fact, is planning to be part of that effort in about

five years, when shell return to find
a guaranteed job in the district after
having her tuition at Edgewood College covered for the next four years.
Quinn-Stevenson and senior Jalen
Powell will be the second pair of students attending Edgewood under a

partnership between the school and
VASD.
The program, paired with an opportunity for minority support staff to
acquire their full teaching licenses
through a University of WisconsinMadison program, is only two years
old, but VASD director of human
resources Jason Olson said it could be
a pivotal part of reaching the districts
goal of having an equal proportion of
minority staff to the districts student
body.
In return for tuition and the guarantee, students commit to teaching for
four years in VASD after they graduate. For the support staff, who have
the cost of their licensing program
covered, they must stay in the district
for at least two years.
The district has just 10.8 percent
minority staff, even after doubling its
percentage from 2014-15 to 2015-16.
Roughly 33 percent of students are
minorities.
Olson said the districts improvement in this area is a good thing, but
its not enough. He also acknowledged receiving some criticism about
the affirmative-action approach, with
questions about what is available to
white teachers.
When you think about it, everything we do is kind of for the white
teachers because thats the predominant culture here, he said.
The program costs $120,000 annually for the staff portion, which
includes some teachers pursuing their
bachelors degrees, and $35,000 per
year for every two students in the program. Powell and Quinn-Stevenson
hope it will help other students like
them feel more comfortable at Verona
schools in the future.
Its very important to see somebody who you feel like you can connect with, Powell said. To be able
to see yourself in a position of importance.

Redeemer, Sugar River churches approach second year in new locations

Samantha Christian
Spring 2014 was a busy

time for two local churches, Sugar
River United
Methodist
Church and
Redeemer
Bible Fellowship, as
they sought
o u t n e w Holmes
locations for
their growing congregations to
worship.
Two years
later, they
are settling
in and making the spac- Wise
es their own.
The citys former library,
130 N. Franklin St., had
housed Sugar River UMC
upstairs for eight years and
the Verona Food Pantry
downstairs. In September
2014, Redeemer signed a
two-year lease with the city
and moved into that space,
while Sugar River UMC
moved into the former
Wildcat Lanes facility, 415
W. Verona Ave.
Although the sign still
remains at the corner of
Main and Harriet streets,
the food pantry relocated
to the renovated former
county administration
building, 1200 E. Verona
Ave., in August. Verona
Area Needs Network has
since expanded its services
and changed its name to
Badger Prairie Needs Network. For information, visit

Temple at 102 N. Franklin St., but in May 2014 it
was notified that the building had been purchased.
The timing of Sugar River
UMCs departure from the
former library was ideal for
Redeemer to move in that
summer.
Dwight Wise, elder of
worship ministries, helped
establish Redeemer in 2008,
when it met in a home outside of Verona with about
five families. Since then,
the young congregation
has grown to more than 60
members.
The congregation has
been enjoying its new location just up the street. Last
month, the Common Council approved a two-year
extension of the lease for
$4,900 per month.
We are still thanking
God for the facilities we
have to meet in, and for
the kindness of the city to
extend our lease, Wise
said in an email to the Press.
There isn't a lot of visible change to the interior
of the building, but we are
so thankful that somenew

Having previously worshipped in an athletic center and library, Sugar River

UMC chose to make its permanent home a foreclosed
bowling alley, which is
still in the process of being
transformed. Construction
of the sanctuary will continue this summer.
The congregation of
about 250 members outgrew the former library
space, so the church opted
to repurpose Wildcat Lanes
in 2014 rather than build a
new structure. The church
used about 13,000 square
feet there, and the building
on West Verona Avenue is

about 26,000 square feet.
Members have not only
become used to the construction around them, but
many have even chipped in
by volunteering their time
and efforts to help reduce
costs. Part of the project
was originally budgeted
for $1 million, but those
numbers and the projects timeline changed
drastically in May. Costs
were 40 percent higher than
expected, so Sugar River
UMC chose a multi-phase

The church also held a
Celebrate the Arts music
and auction event in October 2015 for the community
to raise money for the project since the future sanctuary will also be an auditorium space for the community to rent for recitals,
dramas and presentations.
Some of the first phase,
which included the exterior
finish and painting, twostory open foyer and elevator, was completed late last
year.
Not much has happened
in the last few months since
we completed the exterior
and entrance, Holmes said.
We are planning for major
work for this summer.
He hopes that later this
year the congregation will
be able to worship in the
space where pins used to be
knocked down.
For now, services are

A new study thats part of the

preparation for a potential April 2017
referendum projects more than 1,600
more K-12 students in the Verona
Area School District by 2030.
Five of the districts schools,
including three of its attendance area
elementary schools, would be over
capacity by then, with some already
above that number by 2020.
The study presentation, attended
by about 100 community members
Monday night, was the first major
step toward a potential referendum
next year to pay for a new school
building.
Three more community workshops
are planned in May to continue outreach about the projections.
The district purchased three pieces
of land for future buildings last year
after voters approved a referendum
in April, and has been working in
recent months with architects and
a construction manager to update
building capacities and look at the
infrastructure in its buildings.
The study presented Monday, done
by urban planner Mark Roffers, used
projected housing growth to estimate how many new students would
be in attendance areas for different
schools.
Roffers, of MD Roffers Consulting, projected growth for 2020, 2025
and 2030, calling the numbers conservative and his method tested.
That early projection, superintendent Dean Gorrell told the audience,
is important for the district right now.
Youre still looking at an open
date of 2019 (for a school approved
in April 2017), so 2020 is, from our
planning perspective, right around
the corner, Gorrell said.
The most growth is expected in the

The five-day related

arts schedule will return to
Verona Area School District elementary schools
next year, with a small
change principals hope will
solve a nagging inequity
problem.
Last year at around this
time, principals from the
districts four attendance
area elementary schools
proposed a six-day schedule as a solution to that
same inequity problem.
They explained how theyd
use A and B days, as
Core Knowledge Charter
School already had been
doing (and is expected to
continue with).
The idea was to prevent
the common Friday and
Monday off days from piling up and causing certain
classes to miss out on more
of one activity than another.
But last month, Sugar
Creek Elementary School
principal Todd Brunner and
Country View Elementary
School principal Michelle
Nummerdor told the board
that switch had caused
unforeseen problems that
outweighed its benefits.
The new solution, they
said brings the five-day

Area High School senior,

County Fairest of the Fair
on April 3 after completing
a four-part interview process.
She was among five candidates competing for the
title. Runners-up were Sara

Alexis OConnell, Sun Prairie. Other contestants included Jasmine Miller, Dane, and

As the fairs official
ambassador, Sarbacker
will promote the fair at

theme of Blue Ribbon Summer.
Sarbacker said she is really excited for the opportunity to promote the fair.
I am most looking forward to the local school visits because I love meeting
kids and encouraging them
to come to the fair, she said
in a news release.
Sarbacker has been
involved with the Dane
County Fair for the past 10
years, serving in volunteer
roles, singing on the youth
and community stage and
exhibiting her project animals. She is also active with
her 4-H club, the Mudsliders,

For as long as I can
remember, I have spent my
summers preparing for the
fair and spending an entire
week in July at the fairgrounds, Sarbacker said.

so much for me, and now its

The space crunch, already felt at
Glacier Edge Elementary School
during the current school year, will
come first at the elementary level.
Country View and Stoner Prairie
elementaries will join GE, which
is over its capacity this year, above
their capacities by 2020, Roffers projected. All three would be more at
least 100 students over their capacities by 2030 if nothing changed in
boundaries and no new schools were
built, he said.
Savanna Oaks Middle School
would be next, with Roffers projecting the school to surpass its capacity
between 2020 and 2025, and be more
than 150 students over capacity by
2030.
Finally, Verona Area High School
would exceed its capacity after 2025,
and be more than 200 students over
capacity by 2030, according to Roffers projections.
Different method
In recent years, the district has
relied on the University of Wisconsin-Madisons Applied Population
Lab for its attendance projections,
but APL regularly acknowledged
VASD presented a challenge because
it includes parts of Fitchburg.
Roffers uses a different method
than APL, but found similar projections for 2025 attendance numbers,
with a 4 percent difference between
the APLs five-year trend model and
Roffers projections.
The newest study, which split
VASD into 53 distinct neighborhoods, involved Roffers talking with
municipal planners and developers
and looking at historic rates for housing turnover and ratios of students to
housing units.

to her did occur. But the second incident where she tried
to lure her into the car; she
fabricated that story.
But the police hope this
situation will prompt discussion between parents
and their children.
Although this particular
incident turned out to be
unfounded, Dresser wrote
in a news release, it serves
as a good reminder to talk
with your child about their
safety and how they should
respond if approached by a
stranger.
The sketch of the suspect was done by Verona Police Det. Mitch
Ziolkowski, Dresser said.
Ziolkowski has completed
a couple of sketches, but
this was the first drawing released to the media,
Dresser added.

Those give back days,
as Glacier Edge Elementary
School principal Theresa
Taylor called them, would
bring the number of each

In the past, students with
gym, art or music scheduled for Monday or Friday
got fewer of those classes
than the other three days
of the week. According to
an agenda for the committee that decided on the new
schedule, next school year
will include 34 Mondays
and 33.5 Fridays, but 38
Tuesdays, 37 Wednesdays
and 36 Thursdays.
By making two of the
Tuesdays serve as Fridays
and two of the Wednesdays
serve as Mondays for the

Imposter reveals value

of better identification
Look for the badge
I
t took an odd, mostly insignificant personal experience this

weekend to shake me to the core
professionally.
A man tried to tell my wife he
was taking photos of my son and
other children for the Oregon
Observer.
Of course,
she knows the
staff here, so she
knew immediately it was a
bold-faced lie.
She called his
bluff and he
quickly retreated
toward the nearFerolie
est exit.
It was a little
creepy to her, but to me, it was even
more so. I had to wonder how many
times this sort of thing had happened before the perpetrator accidentally misidentified himself to the
wrong person.
Certainly we notified the Sheriffs Office and the management
at Eugsters Farm Market where
hundreds of kids were on hand at
any given time for the first weekend
of lamb and goat birthing days but
the report could only go so far. Ultimately, were talking about legal
photos of kids playing on toy tractors in a basically public place.
But it revealed an important
weakness within how weve been
covering our local communities.
Much of community journalism
is based on trust. We get far better photos, feature stories and bits
and pieces of information about
the people in our communities
when our subjects can rest assured
their openness will be handled in a
professional manner and whatever
they share will only go where it is
appropriate.
The presence of impostors running around claiming to be from
our organization would not help
that cause.
I wont pretend to know what
this mans purpose was or what the
eventual destination of those photos
would be, but I have to think if they
were of any legitimate manner,
he wouldnt need to pretend to be
someone else.
Even if he simply, inappropriately hoped to use our name proactively to help him get photos he
wanted to send to us as a contribution, that chance meeting with the
wife of the editor should have been
UNG staffers will now wear ID badges while taking photos of most
public events. If youre not sure, ask for identification or a business
card.
serendipitous, not an uncomfortable
unmasking.
But as a bit of an optimist myself,
I tend to look for the opportunity in
every situation. Here, I see a revelation that will perhaps force us to
improve our connection and presence in each of Unified Newspaper
Groups communities.
You see, since a reorganization in 2011, Unified Newspaper
Group which includes the Verona
Press has been building a structure based on teamwork, in which
any one of our nine staff members
could be taking photos or reporting
in any of our four communities. The
benefits have been many, including
specialization of skills, rather than
relying on each editor to be a jackof-all-trades, but the main drawback
is obvious theres no longer just
one or two people from our papers
in each community, which mean no
longer a face of the paper everyone
knows.
Now, instead of the editor showing up to any given event and gaining temporary admission with a
smile, our reporters tend to hold up
a camera and announce their presence. But this weeks incident has
given me a reason to reconsider the
simplicity of that habit.
We all understand the reluctance
people might feel about having their
families photographed. Just because
something is legal doesnt make it
ethical. So we make a conscientious

effort to check for permission of
our subjects when it is reasonable
to do so.
Clearly this man did not, and
allowing people to pose as one of us
unchecked reduces our credibility.
So minutes after I discovered
what had happened and unfortunately the man was gone before I
could confront him I was discussing it over email with the UNG
staff. Within two hours, I had purchased lanyards so each of us can
now carry ID in a handy spot for all
to see.
Even before this weekend, our
staff reporters all carried some
form of identification at planned
photo assignments (usually business
cards), but for sure now, well be
displaying it more prominently by
hanging it around our necks.
So if you see what you assume
to be a reporter or photographer at
a community event, feel free to ask
to see it. And if youre uncertain,
check the name and photo on any of
our websites.
Or if youd rather, just come
up and chat well appreciate the
interaction.

City of Verona
New garbage pickup running smoothly

Jim Ferolie
Verona Press editor
The last time the city went from unlimited trash collection to a single bin, it was
a disaster.
Amid scores of complaints, people
dumped their excess trash in all sorts of
inappropriate locations, including other
peoples cans and the public works facility.
But six weeks into the citys new, limited garbage contract, there have been
no major problems, public works director Ron Rieder told the Press on Tuesday. And in fact, an unexpected number
of people have wanted less capacity for
trash.
Everything has (gone) pretty well, he
said. The biggest problem Im having is
I didnt anticipate the amount of people
that were going to want a smaller refuse
can.
The public works department ordered
about 100 of the 64-gallon containers to
provide a more comfortable alternative to
the whopping 96-gallon wheeled bins, but

so far, around 300 people have asked to
downsize, he said.
The most common requests have come
from seniors, including some living in
condominiums, but a more surprising
demographic has appeared.
Some of it is just younger families that
recycle so well, and they just dont need
that big a garbage container, Rieder said.
The proliferation of recycling over the
two decades since Veronas last flirtation
with limited garbage is clearly one reason
Applications for public

works director under review
Jim Ferolie
Verona Press editor
The search for Ron Rieders successor is on track and going well,
with 39 applicants for the job.
City administrator Bill Burns told
the Verona Press on Tuesday the
group includes several with civil
engineering and/or municipal public
works and that while most are from
Wisconsin, some are from out of
state.
Applications were due April 1 for
Veronas public works director position, which hadnt been open previously for more than 30 years.
The city began recruiting for it a

month ago after preparing several
changes within the 15-person department to accommodate the immense
loss of institutional and community
knowledge of a Verona resident who
started with the department in the early 1980s under Don Crownhart.
Rieder is set to retire July 1, having
given several months notice, and the
plan is to undergo a four-week process
of screening, interviewing and checking references for candidates and get
his successor in the building with at
least a month to go. That would allow
Rieder to be a resource while he finishes up his part of projects that have
the new contract is working well. Another

could be the size of the bins, which fit all
but the biggest weekly collections. Another could be the long lead time the city
made it clear more than four years ago it
would move to limited collection at the
next contract.
And finally, Rieder said, the city didnt
change its bulk item collection large
items left out on the street are picked up
separately, and one-time exemptions are
made for moving.

been years in the making, such as the

reconstruction of Nine Mound Road
and County PD.
The salary range for the position is
$81,575-$101,347, based on the compensation plan that was approved last
year. Burns told the Personnel committee a month ago he hoped to bring
an agreement with the final candidate
forward April 25.
That also happens to be Burns last
day as a city employee, as he accepted
a job offer late last month to become
the finance director in Middleton. The
city hired a search firm to assist with
that positions recruitment.
The senior center will host

two upcoming discussions
for its Conquering Cancer:

and Thrive series, at 10
a.m. Thursday, April 14 and

Avoiding Strife
There are walks of life where one is required to argue.
Lawyers, politicians and teachers are frequently in positions where they must argue persuasively for one position
or another. That is part and parcel of their job, and arguing
serves the valuable service of allowing the truth to stand
out in contrast to error or ignorance. In many areas of life,
however, arguing serves no useful purpose and just creates
needless strife and division. When people are making casual
conversation it is easy to find things to disagree with, but
such disagreements rarely foster peace and harmony. It is
tedious to be around someone who is always correcting us.
With family, friends, and co-workers it is usually better to
find areas of mutual agreement rather than disagreement.
And even when there is disagreement, sometimes the way to
resolve the issue is to start with what you agree on and
see if you can move on from there. When we must argue, it
can usually be done calmly and with civility. Sometimes we
find ourselves drifting into argument without realizing how
this even happened. Someone may have said something
that we feel must be challenged. As the discussion turns
from mild difference of opinion to angry disagreement, our
tempers flare and we often say things we will regret. By being
less argumentative you will probably find that you get along
with others much better.
Christopher Simon, Metro News Service
It is to ones honor to avoid strife,
but every fool is quick to quarrel.

Recruitment video aims

for diverse candidates

Ruben Rodriguez is one of the support staff members currently student teaching as he finishes up
acquiring his teaching license through the Verona Area School Districts Grow Your Own program,
which aims to diversify its staff.
Staff program: Role models

Scott Girard
Ruben Rodriguez has been in VASD for

four years as a bilingual educational assistant, and has already seen his effect on
native-Spanish-speaking students.
Theyll get excited: Hes Mexican!
Rodriguez said. They feel very at home.
Their trust level is wide-open.
He and the other three staffers in VASDs
Grow Your Own program who are currently student teaching are expected to get their
teaching licenses in May. Though they have
already contributed to diversifying the districts overall staff, they all wanted to lead a
classroom and provide a different example
for the students of color theyve met in their
time in VASD.
Andrea High, who has been a specialeducation assistant in the district since 2013,
recalled hearing from two or three students
that she was their first black teacher.
Diversity is just good, High said. It
allows everyone to connect on a different
level.
The district pays for the staff, along with
others working toward their bachelors
degrees, to be part of a two-year cohort at
the University of Wisconsin-Madison, which
meets 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. every Saturday during
the fall and spring semesters.
In return, the staff commit to teaching in
VASD for three years after receiving their

teaching licenses, which will help diversify
the districts staff.
Its a lot of work for the staff members, in
addition to their personal lives and VASD
jobs. But, they said, the reward will be worth
it.
(Students) see us as role models, said
Gabby Freire, who has worked with the
bilingual Two Way Immersion program. If
they see themselves in us, they can accomplish that.
In a community like Verona, with its
growing bilingual and native Spanish-speaking population, Freire added, its especially
important.
Trying to create an environment where
their bilingualism isnt a struggle, its an
ability, she said.
Meng Vang, the other staffer in the cohort,
said the investment from the district shows
its serious about increasing its diversity in
its staff, and thats good for everyone.
I think Verona is a great district, Vang
said. And we need each other.
Rodriguez, who is student teaching in
Jenny Petersons classroom at Stoner Prairie
Elementary School, expressed a similar sentiment and said the students will be the ultimate beneficiaries.
I think its a good move the district is
doing for education, he said. Thats
gonna make a difference in somebodys life.
Student program: Long-term commitment

Scott Girard
Verona Area High School

seniors Alexus Quinn-Stevenson and Jalen Powell
have the next eight years of
their life planned for them.
Thats a scary thought for
many 18-year-olds, and it initially made Powell question
his interest in a program that
would require him to teach in
the Verona Area School District for four years after graduating from college.
But after he thought more
about having a guaranteed
job, plus his tuition at Edgewood College paid for, he
realized it was fantastic.
I started thinking of it as
like consistent, very solid,
Powell said. Instead of constricting, it was comforting.
Powell and Quinn-Stevenson will be the second pair
of VAHS graduates to attend
Edgewood under the Verona
Edgewood Education Partnership Program, which has
Edgewood cover two-thirds
of their tuition and VASD
pitch in for the other onethird.
Administrators hope the
program will help diversify the staff more than past
recruiting efforts like going
to historically black college
career fairs in the South.

They would go through a
winter up here, and be like,
This is not for me, VASD
director of human resources
Jason Olson said.
Powell and Quinn-Stevenson are familiar with the
weather, and also each other,
from their time at VAHS.
Both have worked with the
Black Student Voice Union
and the Minority Student
Achievement Network.
That is one of the best
parts about the opportunity
to come back and teach, they
said, as they can continue the
efforts theyve already been
involved with.
That fact that I can be part
of this change, Im all in,
Quinn-Stevenson said.
The VEEP program will
likely send two or three
VAHS graduates to Edgewood each year for the foreseeable future, as both parties
apparently see benefits.
At Mondays Verona Area
school board meeting, where
Olson updated the board on
the agreement with Edgewood, the schoolss education program dean, Tim Slekar, told the board graduates
tend to stick around the area,
and that his schools faculty
benefit from their mentoring
relationship with the students
VASD sends.
If we can find those
really, really great people
that already live in the communities, the statistical
chances of them picking up
and going somewhere else is
really, really slim, he said.
Theres a really nice revolving mentorship, partnership
relationship that we hope is
something that also becomes
very sustainable.
Both Quinn-Stevenson and
Powell, who are Fitchburg
residents, say they plan to
stick around for their commitment and appreciate that
the district is investing in
diversity. Powell said he
will especially be glad to
bring his perspective back
to VAHS, as someone who
was in a position where
I didnt feel like my voice
was heard and had to join
student groups to make that
happen.
Not everybodys going to
join an MSAN or be a part
of a BSVU but if you can
listen for the time that they
do open their mouth, do say
something or do express how
they feel, then its definitely
going to change things,
Powell said. Make them
feel like youre there for
them and that you actually
care.
The Verona Area School District is also

looking outside its walls to increase diversity among its staff members.
Earlier this year, a Verona Press story
documented proactive hiring efforts at
Sugar Creek Elementary School to do the
same, and the district released a recruitment video earlier this year with a focus
on diversity.
Its clear that teachers of color bring
that identity, perspective into the classroom that students of color relate to,
VAHS English Language Learner teacher
Laila Miguel said in the video. Its my
responsibility to create a multicultural
learning community where students do
want to work together, where all students
needs are met.
The new video, posted on the districts
YouTube page Jan. 6, is nearly six minutes long and focuses on the culture of the
school district, including the focus on personalized learning.
Teachers and administrators explain
what the focus on personalized learning means, and the last half of the video
stresses the importance of hiring a diverse
group.
The school district desires to match
Its clear that teachers of color

Major college talent

VAHS sophomore already
drawing interest from
nations top programs

Rochester, Ind. (just south of South

Bend).
I remember I signed up late to
play Verona Little League. I bought
a bat and glove and went to tryouts.
After that, the coaches fought
over me and which team I would be
on, Rainey said.
Playing AAU basketball as well
as being part of a traveling softball
team up until last year, the family
spent a lot of time on the road.
Thats why we bought that RV

out front, mother Andi Rainey
said. This is what we do. We were
gone every weekend from February
through October almost.
We spend a lot of long nights
in the RV working on chemistry,
geometry and all kinds of homework.
At one point last fall, Rainey left
at halftime of the Verona and Madison East football game and drove
to Chicago, where she played three

games on Saturday and four more
on Sunday.
Playing against the highest level,
she faced Michigan and Northwestern recruits.
I think facing that level of competition not only has helped me be
ready in game situations, but has
helped me get better by playing

Verona Area High School sophomore Savanna Rainey has barely

stepped on the softball diamond
this season and yet she has already
drawn the attention of several of
the top Division 1 programs in the
nation.
Even though programs such as
Tennessee, Florida, Florida State,
the University of Central Florida
Washington and Syracuse cannot
even officially recruit her yet until
next Sept. 1 of her junior year, that
hasnt stopped them from inviting
the Fitchburg resident to camps.
Savanna started playing softball around fourth grade and never
looked back, eventually giving it up
basketball in order to play on more
competitive softball teams that traveled more and so she could attend
more camps across the country.
I wouldnt call them arguments,
but we went through a lot of fussing back and forth with my dad
about whether I wanted to focus
on basketball or softball, she said.
At first, I dont think he excepted it
because basketball was his passion.
After a while I started to play more
and more softball and fell in love
with it.
A very fast, skilled player with
inherent baserunning abilities and
a good mind for the game, Rainey quickly went on to play for
VAGSA, DSA (Illinois) and the
Mizuno Hawks (Illinois). This
year she joined the top-tier Indiana
Magic Gold, which is based out of
Mueller Big Eight first-team

all-conference, Big Eight Player
of the Year and first-team AllState selection finished with
416 points, while Opsal and Trilling collected 362 and 242 points,
respectively, for the 2015-16 season. All three helped the Wildcats
win the first state title in school
history.
Schmitz finished with 452
points and 171 rebounds

Rainey: Garnering national attention as top-tier softball recruit

She almost didnt become a Wildcat
Before Savanna Raineys freshman season ever got underway, there was speculation her father Reggie Rainey may take a job
coaching basketball at Madison East, and
that his daughter would become a Purgolder
and not a Wildcat.
I had every Madison basketball and softball coach lined up at my door wanting me
to put my kid in their school, Andi Rainey
said.
Despite having a lot of friends at both
schools, Rainey never wavered, choosing
Verona because of the programs tradition
and talent.
I knew Kori Keyes was at Verona and
was a senior. I was so excite to play with
her after growing up watching her play for
VAGSA, Rainey said.
VAHS head coach Todd Anderson said
he definitely sees some similarities between
Rainey and the collegiate players hes
coached before her.
Much like Emma Ray (and other Veronagrown college players before her), Savanna is that athlete who is always seeking to
improve. From working out in the weight
Continued from page 9
Unofficial visit to the University of Tennessee

Paying to attend a three-day skill camp last
June at the University of Tennessee the family was shocked when coach Ralph Weekly
asked them to stay when things wrapped up.
We were a little nervous Andi and Reggie Rainey said, the NCAA has very strict
guidelines about talking with recruits and parents prior to their junior year. We thought, did
we do something wrong.
During the meeting, coach Weekly told
Savanna that she was a full ride, DI, SEC
softball player and the university was very
interested in her playing for them.
It was so surreal. I thought I was dreaming because I just saw Tennessee on TV playing in the College World Series, Rainey
said.
As a former USA softball coach, who also
sits on the USA National Team selection
committee, coach Weekly is someone who
can spot talent.
The Weeklys (Ralph and wife Karen are
co-head coaches) invited Rainey and her family to attend unofficial visit in the fall and late
last summer.
Rainey attended the UT catchers camp last
year, where Weekly stopped by before catching a plane for a recruiting trip to specifically
speak to Rainey about attending their top
prospect camp in September. She was one of
40 players invited and only one of two from
the Midwest.
It was a fun-filled whirlwind weekend for
Rainey and her family.
Friday she attended a UT softball practice,
and then had the opportunity to hang out with
the players and coaches. She also was able
to partake in a UT softball team activity that
evening which included a scavenger hunt on
campus.
While sitting in on a Tennessee practice,
Raineys mom leaned in and asked, Is this
want to do? Are you ready to devote yourself
to this every day after class?
For Rainey it was a simple question. Yes,
Im dedicated.
Photo submitted
Savanna Rainey on her unofficial visit to the

University of Tennessee last fall.
My friends think Im crazy, but Im just

looking at it as an opportunity to get a free
education and to do something I love, Rainey said. Im willing to make what every sacrifices I need to in order to make it happen.
Saturday started with a tour of campus and
the student athlete training and academic centers. Later was a scrimmage between the UT
players, a tailgate party and a University of
Tennessee football game. Before the game,
the recruits had the opportunity to go down
onto the field while the team was warming
up.
Lastly, on Sunday was the camp, which
consisted of three hours of hitting and defense
skills training followed by live games.
It was one of the best experiences of my
life and I held my own. I felt like I was in a
movie and could not believe this was happening to me, Rainey said.

against the best competition, she said.

Even when Rainey isnt
playing for the Wildcats,
shes rarely away from the
diamond, playing fall or
summer softball.
She stays so busy in fact,
that she quit playing varsity
high school basketball after
her freshman year in order to
focus on softball.
It was a hard decision,
yes and no, because softball
is what I want to do in the
future. Basketball was just
more to keep me in shape
and be with my friends, she
said. I played basketball
ever since kindergarten.
When she doesnt have
a game or practice, Savannah can either be found on
the field behind the familys
Fitchburg house or the batting cages where she fields
or hits approximately 150
balls a day.
She also goes to Champion
Style Athletic club where

she works on her speed,
agility, strength and conditioning two or three times
a week with former Badger
football player Michael London.
Learning from the best has
only helped Rainey hone her
skills that much faster.
Though coaches tend to
send out mass emails to athletes they wish to invite to
camps so as to not break any
NCAA recruitment rules,
more sought-after recruits
occasionally receive slightly
more personal invitations, as
the binder full of invitations
the family has kept shows.
Coaches come to watch
top-tier traveling teams like
the Indiana Magic Gold and
may then choose to invite
athletes to their camps where
they can have contact with
potential recruits who have
paid to attend their camps.
While coaches cant contact Rainey until her junior
year, she can reach out to
coaches.
Contact can also be made
through recruiting services,
allowing coaches to see
player bios and videos of
players before adding them
to their recruiting lists.
A lot of coaches saw me
play in Arizona last year
against a lot of really good
competition like the Texas
Blaze, Rainey said. Seeing
all the coaches there watching you was kind of surreal.
Reggie Rainey recounted
one head-turning event from
one of those games..
Running a pickle drill
in front of coaches from
Auburn, Georgia, Syracuse,
Indiana, Baylor and Army,
Rainey ran up the third baseline and tackled the baserunner.
Everyone was like, I
have never seen a kid move
that fast with catcher gear
on, Reggie said. Those
basketball skills has her
footwork so much faster
than your typical catcher.

Like her program forebears, she always
wants extra repetitions, she wants to understand why we have her do x instead of

Paoli 4-H Fireballs collecting books for service project

Many people and schools
have extra books on
shelves that are unused and
unwanted. Members of the
Paoli 4-H Fireballs have
been helping get those
books in the hands of people who otherwise dont
have any.
The 4-H club has partnered with the Madison
Breakfast Rotary Club
in its world service project, Books for the World.
The project strives to collect used books to send to
needy people in other parts
of the world, mainly Africa. Kids in the club spread
the word to family, neighbors and friends.
Chair of the committee

Julia Fechner, 11, likes
being involved because she
cant imagine not having
books.
People need to learn
in order to get a good job
later, and they cant learn
without the proper reading
materials, she said. Plus,
it feels good to be helping
people that you havent
even met."
On Saturday, March
19, members of the club
delivered over 60 boxes to
the Books for the World
warehouse near Madison
College. They got a tour
of the facility and learned
more about the sorting

and packing process from

Rotarian Lee McAdams.
Committee member
Mary Saley, 13, who also
helped to deliver the books,
said, "It is really great to
know that others will be
able to use my old favorite
books."
This is an ongoing collection project. Books can

be dropped off in the collection bins at Miller and
Sons Supermarket in Verona or Burresons Foods in
Belleville.

50 years ago
Two weeks after the
newspaper published bold
and unabashed support of the
high school referendum, the
husband-and-wife editor team
that was there for the Verona
Press debut was replaced
by Bob Anderson, who had
worked with publisher Butler
Delaney in Minnesota years
earlier. Two months later he,
too, was gone, replaced by
Henry Schroeder, who would
stay with the newspaper until
he sold it in 1998.
The school board agreed
on a purchase of a 20-acre
plot of land next to the proposed high school, which was
set for a March referendum.
The plot was purchased from
Leo and Martha Barth for
$2,000 an acre.
Frank Brown, Veronas
oldest resident, celebrated his
95th birthday. Brown jokingly
addressed his age by saying
Here I am, 95 years old, and I
dont feel one bit better than I
did when I was 21 years old!
Over 400 women from
all around Dane County were
present at the Food Fashion
Fair, held at the Verona High
School.
More than 1,000 people
attended a National Farmers
Organization ham dinner at the
Verona Area High School.
High school teachers
and students polled on their
opinion of the controversial,
newly aired 1960s Batman
series had mostly negative
responses. Several of the critics comments included, Too
dramatic, Get it off the air,
you dirty slobs, Its queer
and Uch!
The Verona Junior
Auxiliary met to discuss future
ner Andrew Babcock. Babcock

finished second in the 100yard butterfly and participated
in three other events.
Brandon Orloff and Dan
Zimmer qualified for the
Division I state wrestling tournament. Orloff would finish
third in the 140-pound class.
The city began considering a referendum to build a
$2 million outdoor pool. The
pool committee, led by Greg
Verhelst, pinpointed the land
next to City Hall as the best
site.
Despite the objections
of an attorney representing
neighbors on Windswept
Way, the Town Board granted
a permit to the Denner shooting range, which had been in
operation for 44 years
With the Plan Commission
doubling up on meetings to
hammer out a downtown plan,
the group brought in former
mayor and then County Board
representative Phil Salkin to
discuss economic development. The previous plan was
cut short when the Memorial
Baptist Church decided to
expand rather than move.
With the new Rolling Oaks
subdivision being planned next
to Blackhawk Bowhunters, the
Town Board considered deed
restrictions that would prevent
future owners from objecting
to the archery practice range.
10 years ago
Dave Phillips resigned
as chamber executive director after two years to take a
position with the Independent
Bank of Verona. He was succeeded by Karl Curtis, who
had been the Verona Press
editor.
Dean Health Systems
purchased a property on the
southwest side of Verona that
it eyed for a possible clinic,
along with associated residential and retail, in five years
plus.
The city spent the next six
years getting that property and
others nearby added to its
developable area, and Dean
Health still has not announced
any plans for expansion there.
The school district looked
to resume its building trades
class. It considered the purchase of a residential lot next
to Country View Elementary
School and the class did
resume, building homes with
the help of a professional

builder over the next several
years.
Town of Verona citizens
strongly objected to plans
by American Transmission
Company to build a 345kV
power line from Rockdale to
Middleton with one possible
route going through the town.
The Town Board shared
some of those concerns and
discussed the possibility of
going on record in opposition.
More than 200 people responded to a Verona
Community Betterment survey that was sent with the
city water bills asking for
how to improve Hometown
Days. Favorite attractions
were the chambers spin the
wheel game, the parade, carnival, fireworks and music.
Many asked for healthier food
options and more interactive
entertainment.
Then seasons first significant snowstorm was so fast
and powerful that plows had
to be taken off the roads from
about 9-11 a.m. because drivers could not see.
The CMT show Trick my
Truck featured several Ellis
Manufacturing
products,
including a belt grinder, a
hand saw and a drill press.
The city approved plans
for Veronas first brew pub,
Grays Tied House.
The school board began
looking into the possibility
of 4-year-old kindergarten. It
would take several more years
before the program would
become available, in 2012.
The Verona/Edgewood
gymnastics team won its
fourth conference title in five
years, led by Jensen Buehlers
victory on bars. Buehler
later qualified for state in the
vault and beam, and teammates Missy Gallagher (bars
and beam) and Emily Collien
(floor) also qualified.
Three Verona wrestlers
advanced to the state tournament, where Ben Sarbacker
took the 160-pound title.
Justin Garcia finished fifth at
125 and Andres Caceres was
sixth at 119.
Chris Hruska finished sixth
at the state swimming meet in
the 100-yard backstroke and
eighth in the 200 medley.
