New space for a new program

Getting college credit

while in high school can
be a big boost for students
-- not to mention their parents checking accounts
and some students at Verona
Area High School now have
the appropriate setting to go
along with the credit.
They say it looks like
a college when they come
in, said Rick Boehm,
who teaches the engineering strand of Project Lead
the Way (PLTW) classes at
VAHS.
The setting Boehm
referred to includes a pair
of new classrooms that were

renovated over the summer
for around $400,000 to be
used by the growing number
of PLTW classes.
PLTW is a national program with different strands
that focus on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) and a
curriculum the school pays
a fee for that allows students
to largely go at their own
pace.
At VAHS, teachers
began both the biomedical and engineering strands
three years ago, and they
have expanded beyond the

New program director keeps diverse set of seniors busy

SCOTT DE LARUELLE
We all seem to have a different perspective on who

exactly is a senior these
days.
So when youre responsible for providing relevant
programming to both 90-year
olds who grew up in the Great
Depression and listened to
Glenn Miller
and 65-yearolds who grew
up with the
Sputnik and
The Beatles,
theres a lot of
ground to cover in between. Miller

theres Jennifer Miller, whos

is excited about working with
area seniors of all ages. She
certainly has got plenty of
things for them to do.
For Miller, a personal fitness trainer who was previously an activity and volunteer assistant at St. Marys
Adult Day Health Center, the
new job is the continuation
of a path shes been on since

seventh grade, when she volunteered in nursing homes.
Its something thats been
a passion of mine, and Ive

School district taxes likely will drop a bit this

year, but not as much as originally projected.
With a large jump in the districts tax base
this year resulting mainly from construction at
Epic, Verona Area School District officials are
trying to take advantage of the corresponding
extra revenue by paying off debt early.
In a draft budget memo shown to the board
Monday night to prepare them for a vote next
week, the debt service fund levy for the 201415 budget was listed at $7.38 million, well
above the annual meetings projection of $2.75
million.
The memo also listed the projected mill rate
for 2014 at $12.04 per $1,000 of assessed property value, just over the $12.01 rate projected

Theres likely to be more than one new

school in the Verona Area School District in the
next decade or so, but the question is whether
the district starts with a high school or an elementary.
Those were the two options offered by the
school board Monday night at a retreat to provide guidance for the Future Schools Committee, which was established earlier this year as
the district began to look into expansion and
land purchases.
Whichever the committee ends up deciding
on, board member Joanne Gauthier pointed out
Monday the district faces both a short-term
problem and a long-term problem with school
expansion.
And problems in between, superintendent
Dean Gorrell added with a laugh.
That mix of problems is part of why the board
has agreed to three land purchase agreements
for a total of $10 million in recent weeks.
And though board president Dennis Beres
pointed out the land wouldnt likely be entirely
used for 25 or 30 years, all three purchases are
expected to be on the April ballot as part of a
referendum for voter approval.

Gorrell made a point to gather
the flags that morning, knowing
he wanted to do something with
them eventually. He presented
them to the schools teachers
Tuesday afternoon. The flags
will hang in rooms 206, 210,

A 24-year-old Madison
man will be charged with
multiple felonies following
an Oct. 14 head-on crash in
the Town of Montrose.
Verona police, Dane
County Sheriffs deputies
and Verona and Belleville
firefighters all responded
to the scene around 5:38
a.m. after the man, Jason
C. Hunt, crossed the center
line and crashed into another car, according to a Sheriffs office news release.
The other car, driven by
a 44-year-old Monroe man,
started on fire. Firefighters
had to extricate both drivers
from their vehicles, according to the release.
Both were transported to
UW Hospital with serious
injuries.
Hunt will be charged
with Operating a Motor
Vehicle While Intoxicated, Causing Great Bodily
Harm, Knowingly Operating Without a Valid Drivers License, Causing Great
Bodily Harm, and Operating Left of Center, according to the release.
The charges were not yet

Budget: District paying off some debt early

Continued from page 1
the annual meeting. Both
are lower than the $12.27
rate in 2013.
That would amount to
a cut this year of $46 on a
$200,000 home.
Superintendent Dean
Gorrell said district officials made the decision
after a discovering that the
district would get a nearly
13 percent increase in valuation. While applying that
all to the levy would have
lowered the mill rate by
more than $1 per $1,000
of property value, he
explained, the school funding formula will adjust next
year and bring it right back
up. He said people would
respond negatively to a
change like that.
Were going to see a
one-year substantial dip
in mill rate, then it would
go right up the next year,
Gorrell said. Itd be this
yo-yo thing.
And people never remember when it
goes down, they always
remember when it goes

up.
Board president Dennis
Beres agreed with the idea
and compared it to good
personal budgeting.
He said if a boss offered
to pay an employees car
lease for just one year, a
smart individual could use
the money that wouldve
gone toward a car lease to
pay extra on their mortgage
or other debt for that year.
Youre financially much
better off at the end of that
year than you were before,
and you dont notice it all
because its the same budget, Beres said.
Gorrell said district officials saw an opportunity to
over-levy the debt fund
and pay off more of the
debt from the Glacier Edge
construction. Under the
draft plan the district would
also create a fund with $1.1
million to pay off future
debts and ease out other
bumps in the mill rate in
the future.
Gorrell said it was simply
a chance to take advantage

of a rare situation.
13 percent increased
valuation, thats unheard
of, Gorrell said. Thats
the opportunity right there.
The district also got good
news from the state Department of Public Instruction
last week when state aid
numbers were finalized.
VASD will get a 7 percent increase, higher than
projected. That and the
lower-than-expected enrollment numbers helped lower
the mill rate as well.
The board will vote on
the final budget at its Oct.

Letters to the editor
Burke cares about Wisconsin families

Gov. Scott Walker has been a
disaster for Wisconsin in countless ways.
He cut $800 million from the
public education budget but is
happily pouring taxpayer dollars
into voucher schools, despite clear
evidence that students in voucher
schools perform no better than
those in public schools, even in
the Milwaukee public schools.
He is happy to sell our precious
natural resources to the highest
bidder (e.g., the Gogebic Taconite mine in northern Wisconsin)
despite the wishes of homeowners in the area and the outlook for
future generations. And he refused
federal dollars for a train, robbing
our state of the jobs that would
have been created at the time and,
no doubt, the companies that subsequently chose to locate in more
forward-thinking states with rail
access.
As for Walkers statement
about caring for women and families baloney! Hes opposed to
raising the minimum wage to
an amount that allows working
families (especially those headed
by single parents) to fully support their children without needing outside assistance and which
experts agree would be a boost to
the economy.
And he refused to accept federal
funding to expand BadgerCare,
thereby leaving 38,000 people
in need without health care and
costing state taxpayers more than
$500 million over the next four

years.
One of Walkers ads attacks
Mary Burke for everything about
Jim Doyles administration,
though she was only responsible
for the Department of Commerce.
No doubt hes trying to distract us
from his own dismal record poor
job creation, a John Doe investigation and a $1.8 billion structural
deficit.
Plus, its abundantly clear that
hes far more interested in his
presidential aspirations than he is
in the state of Wisconsin.
Unlike Walker, Burke has
ample and successful business
experience in the real world.
As a Trek executive for three
years, she increased Treks European sales from $3 million to
more than $50 million a year.
And though she came from a
well-off family, her parents insisted that all their children hold jobs
from a young age.
She has been a volunteer in various programs that help those in
need for the past 15 years and cofounded a successful program to
help at-risk youth (unlike Walker,
who shows up at a food kitchen
once a year solely for a photo op).
Mary Burke has the experience,
the character and the dedication
to once again make Wisconsin a
state where all citizens can thrive.

Ag journalism isnt just

tractors, cows and cubicles
f I had a dime for every weird

look Ive gotten telling people
about what I now do for a living, Id have my college loans paid
off.
When I was first hired about
three months ago and asked about
my job, I would proudly respond
with, Im the Dairy Editor at
Agri-View! After countless
puzzled expressions and too much
time spent explaining myself, I
usually now respond with, Im an
ag journalist.
Sometimes I
still get blank
stares to that
response, but
people tend to
understand that
terminology a
little bit more
clearly.
Sarbacker
My explanation usually
remains relatively the same: Im
a journalist A journalist who
writes about agriculture.
Even that, to a lot of people,
doesnt mean a whole lot. That
doesnt explain what I do on a
daily basis. Some wonder, is there
really that much happening in agriculture?
The answer is yes.
When the general public thinks
of agriculture, the common image
that comes to mind is a middleaged man, sporting a pair of overalls with dirt under his fingernails.
But agriculture is much more than
that.
Agriculture is young and old,
both men and women, and includes
everything from Christmas tree
farming to milking dairy cows.
Just in the last week, Ive delved
into the effect of stray voltage on
cows and the surging popularity of
non-dairy milk. Weve also recently written about technology of

robotic milking, using cover crops
to improve soil health and suggestions for preventing sow lameness.
As a dairy editor, I produce articles and content about happenings
in the dairy industry. I take pictures, attend events and do all the
things a normal journalist would
do, except my focus is on dairy
cows. I do, however, also submit
articles for the livestock section
and the front section occasionally.
For me, being an ag journalist
means spending some days sitting at a desk and other days spent
on farms. Being an ag journalist
sometimes means doing something
different on a daily basis.
Some days Im attending media
events and listening to seminars.
Other days Im traveling across
Wisconsin to visit and talk with
farmers. Sometimes Im riding
along in a tractor to learn about
new farming technologies. And
sometimes Im learning as much as
possible about new topics so I can
explain new things to our readers.
And some days I sit in feed alley
in front of my cows to brainstorm
and pull together my articles for
the week.
On Mondays and Tuesdays,
I wake up, wash my face, grab
some breakfast and head to the
office. Mondays and Tuesdays are
the days our staff spends editing
and proofing our weekly paper.
Wednesday through Friday, I
spend my days interviewing those
involved in agriculture, visiting
local farms, attending news-worthy
events and taking pictures.
Our office is just like you see
in the movies. We have rows and
rows of short cubicles, large clocks
on the walls and sometimes there
are even pieces of paper flying

through the air as staff members
rush around.
One thing thats unusual is that
our staff is housed in the same
building with the Wisconsin State
Journal. So it isnt rare to receive
concerned looks when I pull out
my jackknife to open a package.
As more and more of us become
further removed from farming
and agriculture, its easy to think
that agriculture and farming isnt
important to our economy and in
our daily lives.
But agriculture really is important. New research from University
of Wisconsin-Madison and UWExtension show that Wisconsins
farms and agriculture businesses
generate more than $88.3 billion in
economic activity and provide jobs
for 413,500 people in the state.
Seeing those kind of numbers
really make it easy to see that agriculture is important to the states
economy and is therefore important to you.
I didnt choose to be a journalist for the long hours or the days
I spend sitting in my cubicle. I
didnt choose to be a journalist for
the pay or for the constant deadlines.
But its been my calling for quite
some time. And I followed it so I
could educate, inform and write
stories that both those involved in
agriculture and those not involved
in agriculture can relate to.
Sure, I get weird looks and have
to often explain what I do. But they
seem to be part of the job.

Loose regulations part of Ebola problem in Texas

It is interesting that in all the
coverage of the mistakes in dealing
with Ebola in Texas, no one has
talked about how anti-regulation
Texas is.
Many Texan cities have minimal
zoning. I deal more carefully with
some Texan businesses because I
know they are less regulated.
So it should not be surprising
that the first major Ebola problem was in Texas and from people
not implementing basic safety
regulations.
(Remember, we do not have a
national health service, just national rules and guidelines that need to
be implemented at the state level.)
Every day, we are bombarded by
political ads and talk radio attacking the concept of government
regulation. Most Republican politicians are running for election right
now on reducing regulations, many
of them (water quality etc.) related
to health.
So, amidst all the panic talk, it

might be good to reflect on how
ignoring rules has gotten us into
this current mess and what type of
leadership we need to make sure it
doesnt happen again.
And if we are excluding travel
from places with Ebola problems,
will that include Texas?

E-waste dropoff
set for next week
Its been several years since
Wisconsin residents were
allowed to dump electronics into their garbage. With
the prevalence of old, obsolete electronics, that generally means paying to get rid of
them or waiting for an e-waste
dropoff event.
One of those free events
is held by the county each
spring. Another is the citys
annual fall event, which is next
weekend.
The citys third annual free
e-waste dropoff, which is part
of its 3-year-old garbage and
recycling contract, is from 8
a.m. to 3 p.m. this year at the
citys public works facility,
410 Investment Court.
E-waste includes televisions, computers, computer
printers, monitors and other
accessories, DVD players,
VCRs, fax machines and cell
phones.
To drop off items at the
citys annual event, you must
have basic proof of City of
Verona residency.
For information on the
event, call the citys public
works department at 845-6695
or visit the citys website at
ci.verona.wi.us.
The city does also accept
e-waste at other times of
the year, but it comes with a
charge of $2 to $25, depending
on the type of item, rather than
the weight.
Since Sept. 1, 2010, it has
been illegal in Wisconsin
under 2009 Act 50 to dispose of e-waste in landfills,
although undoubtedly many
consumers have done so
because of limited publicity
and enforcement.
Under the citys normal
fee schedule for e-waste, cell
phones, printers and other
computer accessories, such as
keyboards and mice, are $2
each. VCRs, DVD players,
computers, monitors and fax
machines are $5. TVs up to 27
inches are $10, and larger ones
are $15.
Stickers can be purchased
during the facilitys regular
business hours, but items can
be dropped off at the usual
waste dropoff times.

recycling, visit countyofdane.

Simplify Your Wardrobe

If clothes make the man, then its also true that clothes
can unmake the man (or woman), and can certainly lead
to their financial ruin. Clothing can be expensive, but a
simple wardrobe doesnt have to put you in the poorhouse,
and your wardrobe can be designed to make the decision
of what to wear incredibly simple. If all you own are a few
pairs of pants and some gray and black T-shirts, there isnt
much to decide: gray or black? People who are trying to
live full lives and help solve serious problems usually have
simple wardrobes which make getting dressed the easiest
part of their day. Uniforms, whether of the standard military variety, or the unwritten dress code uniform which
most professions have, are usually both functional and
designed to free the person for more important tasks than
getting dressed. Shopping at secondhand stores or wearing hand-me-downs allows us to have decent clothes
without going into debt and to simplify our life in the
process. Washing our clothes can be simplified too. A teaspoon or two of dishwashing liquid makes a perfectly good
clothes detergent. God has more important things for us to
do than to fuss and worry about our clothes.
Christopher Simon via Metro News Service
Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you
will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is
not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?

In 2007, Sherry Mix

decided to enter a field in
which she had no firsthand
experience: massage therapy.
I was 26 when I opened
my first studio. I dont think
I had ever gotten a massage, Mix said. Ive definitely learned a lot since
then.
The success of that studio,
Elements Massage Middleton, persuaded Mix to
install a second Elements in
Fitchburgs Orchard Pointe,
which opened Sept. 6.
Mix, who is now 33 and
lives in Veronas East View
Heights neighborhood with
her husband and two young
children, said shes working
to double the new studios
10-person staff and hopes
to enroll 300 people in its
wellness membership program by next September.
Mix said she choose the
location because of all the
commerce springing up
nearby.
I really liked all the new
development. Theres a lot
of traffic around Target and
the new Hy-Vee, Mix said.
She added that the location
is convenient for people
coming from Verona, as
well as places like Madison
and Oregon.
Elements Fitchburg joins
other health-minded destinations in Orchard Pointe
like Apple Wellness and
Massage Envy.
Inside, the atmosphere is
soothing. Orchids and other
colorful flowers adorn the
waiting room as soft piano
music plays from speakers.
The staff is five massage
therapists and five front
desk workers, though Mix
said the studio will eventually need between 15 and
20 therapists and is now
accepting applications.
All therapists are trained
in Swedish and deep tissue massage. Other types
of massage include sports,
prenatal, and trigger point,
which targets knots where
the body holds tension. Customers select one of four
pressure levels ranging

SCOTT GIRARD
The owners of the Artisan Gallery in Paoli had a

decision to make when Tim
ONeill got a job in the art
department at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
That left his wife, Theresa Abel, as the main one
running two businesses at
6858 Paoli Road, with the
Artisan Gallery and Creamery Cafe.
Its an enormous amount
of work running two businesses, Abel told the
Press.
She said it was a decision
the two had been considering for awhile, and they
felt the time was right as
Paoli grows and there are
other dining options around
the area.

The cafe was a lovely
attachment but now
that there are other lovely
places to eat in Paoli, it just
seemed like we were able to
just focus on the gallery and
close the cafe.
She said the chance to
focus on just the gallery,
rather than being torn
between the two businesses, will allow her to do a
better job.
She said the transition has
been going fine so far.
The space that was the
cafe will still be used,
though, as Abel said they
will host opening receptions, talks, lectures and
workshops in the space that
overlooks the Sugar River.
That new use will begin
next month with a series

Nameth covered the 5k

again finishing runner-up to
Madison West senior Olin

Ryan has been nursing
a sore foot and has missed
some training, so I am pretty
impressed with his effort at
conference, Verona head
coach Randy Marks said.
Junior Brady Traeder
raced his way to secondteam all-conference honors, placing 10th overall in

Brady really stepped up
and ran with the West and La
Follette pack and beat some
guys that he hasnt beat all

the right time, Marks said.

runners in 31st and 37th.
T.J. would have been

Schmitz, Keryluk reach round of 16

JEREMY JONES
Sports editor
Verona Area High School senior

Steph Keryluk and junior Greta
Schmitz helped the Wildcats reach
the round of 16 at No. 1 doubles
of the WIAA Division 1 individual state tournament for the third
straight year last weekend.
It was the second straight time
Keryluk reached the round of 16 at
No. 1 doubles.
The 14th seed entering the state
tournament, Keryluk and Schmitz
played all the way to the third round
where they fell 6-2, 6-1 against thirdseeded Nicolet seniors Michelle
Margolies and Erin Wathen (32-4).
Its exciting, but I feel like we
could have won that match, Keryluk said. Its frustrating. I think we
just got nervous and never really got
over that.
Verona came out and got down
early in both sets, trailing 4-1 before
Nicolet closed out the match in

straight sets.
Im happy with how far we got,
but I feel like we could have done
more, Schmitz said. It will be a lot
different playing without Steph next
year.
Head coach Mark Happel wasnt
about to look over what Keryluk and
Schmitz accomplished this season,
however.
Steph and Greta had a really nice
season, Happel said. They are
physically the most talented doubles
team that I have coached.
They were also the first to be
seeded to make it into the round of
16.
The last couple of years we had
an upset to get into the round of
16, Happel said. The only teams
to defeat Steph and Greta (Middleton, Green Bay Southwest, Waunakee and Nicolet) this season were
all seeded ahead of them at the state
tournament.
The Wildcat upperclassmen

opened the tournament with 6-4,
6-2 victory over Lake Geneva Badger senior Gillian Suhre and junior
Joanne Walczynski (23-3).
Badger held at 5-4 in the first set
before Verona closed out the set on
its serve.
Keryluk held to push the Wildcats ahead 5-2 in the second before
Verona broke to close out the match.
Schmitz and Keryluk went on
to win 6-1, 6-4 over Appleton East
senior Olympia Mathiaparinam and
sophomore Parker Huntstiger (1611).
While Schmitz said she likes playing both singles and doubles, the
junior already had an idea for next
year.
I definitely like the mental game
of singles better cause I am more of
an independent person, and I like to
not rely on someone else, but I think
Lauren (Supanich) and I would do
really well at doubles, she said.

Comeback falls short in regional final loss

ANTHONY IOZZO
The Verona Area High School boys soccer team knew Thursdays WIAA Division 1
regional final was going to be tough against
fifth-seeded Kettle Moraine at Reddan Soccer Park.
But an early three-goal deficit was not
what the fourth-seeded Wildcats had in mind,
especially after edging Kettle Moraine earlier
in the season.
Verona did battle back to get to within a
goal in the second half, but it wasnt enough
in a 3-2 loss to end the season.
It was a very evenly-matched game. In
the first half, Kettle Moraine took advantage
of the opportunities that they had. We had
a couple, too, and couldnt quite get one or
two, head coach Jake Andreska said.
Junior Robert Wagman scored in the 80th
minute, leaving the Wildcats 10 minutes to
tie the game and force overtime. And they
came so close in the 86th minute when senior
Casey Thompson had two shots in the penalty box blocked by Kettle Moraine players.
It is a testament to our season in that second half, Andreska said. We started 2-4,
and the way we came back in the second half
is kind of how we persevered throughout the
season. We really came on toward the middle
and the end. It is kind of symbolic toward our
season. Unfortunately, we couldnt get one
more to tie it up.
Senior Kyle Monson also hit the post earlier in the second half.
But in the end, Kettle Moraines three
goals in the first 24 minutes were enough.
The first was an own goal in the 20th
minute that took a tough bounce past senior
goalie Alex Hofstetter, and the second was
a penalty kick in the 22nd minute by senior
Brandon Strobel.
The Lasers scored again in the 24th minute
with a goal by senior Jack White.

Hofstetter finished with eight saves.
The Wildcats (15-6-1) now have a transition coming for next season with 14 seniors

Evan Bailey, Conlin Bass, Kevin Cashman,
Sawyer Quade, Avery Fossum, Kye Hanson,
Malcolm Kinsey, Danny Prudisch, Nicolas
Graese, Monson, Hofstetter, Thompson and
Temozihui.
I knew we were going to have a strong
team coming in, Andreska said. You dont
keep those guys around just because they are
seniors, at least in this program. If there is an
underclassman that is ready to play varsity
soccer, they are going to come up and play.
But there were that many, solid good seniors
this year, I had no choice but to keep them all
on the team.

If you go
It was said that the Verona Area High

School football team would have a shot at a
home game for the playoffs if the Wildcats
defeated Madison Memorial 42-0 Friday in
the regular season finale.
Verona responded by doing just that at
Mansfield Stadium.
With rainy and windy conditions in the first
half, Verona only held a 7-0 lead before the
offense started to click. And the defense did
the rest to preserve the shutout.
It was still a 7-0 game at halftime, so we
still werent sure where we are, head coach
Dave Richardson said. But then we exploded
and that was awesome They are playing
the kind of football we asked them to play,
and our defense is really starting to pin it back

and do some great work.
If we can just take care of the football and
play the kind of defense we are playing, we
will be in good shape.
When the playoff brackets rolled out Saturday afternoon, the Wildcats still didnt get
their home game as a No. 5 seed, but the way
they won sent a message that they are a team
on fire after winning six straight to reach the
playoffs.

Verona finishes perfect in Big Eight Pletta races to 27th at

JEREMY JONES
Sports editor
A season of firsts kept coming for the

Verona Area/Mount Horeb girls swimming team last week as the Wildcats
defeated Madison Memorial and Madison West to finish the Big Eight Conference dual meet season 9-0 for the first
time in school history.
Verona 93, Mad. Memorial 77

Friday marked the first time a Verona
or Verona/Mount Horeb swimming team
(boys or girls) won at Madison Memorial, defeating the Spartans 93-77.
Memorials boys and girls programs
have a combined 28 state championships.
The meet was closer than the score
indicates, however, as the Wildcats held
just a four-point lead after the 100 free.
The 500 freestyle, 100 backstroke and
400 free relay were big events at the end
of the meet that allowed us to pull away,
VA/MH head coach Bill Wuerger said.
Five different girls won six of the eight
individual events, including Kristi Larsen, who was entered in four of the final
six events.
Though she did not allow herself much
recovery time between events, Larsen
capped the meet by winning the 400 free
relay with Maizie Seidl, Sophie Henshue
and Beata Nelson in a meet-best 3:38.30.
Larsen also finished runner-up as part
of the 200 free relay as well as in the 100
take the dual meet 96-74.

Good teams find a way to win even
when theyre not at their best, Wuerger
said.
And thats just what the Wildcats did,
finishing the meet 1, 2, 4 in the breaststroke and 1, 3 on the 400 free relay to
pull away at the end.
Seidl (2:02.11) led a 1-2 finish in the
200 free and later added the 100 free
in 55.74. Not to be outdone, Nelson
(:55.99) led 1-2 finish in the 100 butterfly
and claimed the 100 back in 57.52.
Henshue secured the 500 free in
5:22.93 and Larsen (1:10.06) guided a
1-2 idividual finish in the 100 breaststroke.
The Wildcats won the 200 medley
(1:54.98) and 400 free relays thanks to
Ver Voort, Larsen, Seymour and Rozeboom, and Seidl, Henshue, Larsen and
Nelson, respectively
The girls on the team arent the greatest singers, but they sang We Are the
Champions on the bus ride home and
they sounded great, Wuerger said.
The Wildcats sit fourth on the Wisconsin Interscholastic Swim Coaches Association Division 1 state poll one spot
ahead of Middleton. Conference rivals
Madison Memorial and Sun Prairie are
ranked seventh and eighth, respectively.
VA/MH 96, Madison West 74
Arrowhead remained comfortably

breaststroke. Yet she amazingly seemed
to get stronger with each event, Wuerger
said. She had season-best times by eight
tenths of a second in the 100 free, 100
breast, and anchoring the 400 free relay.
Nelson, meanwhile, set pool records
in the 100 free (:51.41) and 100 back
(:56.63).
The Wildcats opened the meet with
Nelson, Julia Ver Voort, Sammy Seymour and Shelby Rozeboom taking the
200-yard medley relay in 1:50.09. Seidl
then added the 200 free in 1:59.10, while
Seymour secured the 100 butterfly with
her time of 1:01.86.
Ver Voort (2:16.63) led a 1-2 finish
in the 200 IM and Henshue guided a 1-2
finish in the 500 free (5:21.52).
Verona/Mount Horebs JV team fell
106-64.
As per rumors that the team bus
flipped last week, there is no truth to it
whatsoever, Wuerger said.
The girls have dress-up days on meet
days (fairy princess day, 80s workout
day, etc.). Friday was Injury Day, he
said. They came to school with braces,
crutches, etc.
When asked what happened to the
swim team, someone responded that the
bus flipped over, and the rumor started.
Football: Wildcats travel to La Follette to open playoffs

Ever since Parker, we
have just kept the ball rolling, Tindall said. With each
win, we have been building
momentum, and finally led to
this win.
The Wildcats (6-3) open
the WIAA Division 1 playoffs at No. 4 Madison La Follette (7-2) at Lussier Stadium.
Verona defeated La Follette a
couple of weeks ago. La Follettes only other loss was to
Big Eight Conference champion Middleton (8-1).
Middleton earned the No.
2 seed in group C. Defending
Division 2 champion Kimberly is No. 1 in the group. Kimberly hosts No. 8 Madison
West, while Middleton hosts
No. 7 Sun Prairie.
No. 3 Fond du Lac hosts
No. 6 Janesville Craig in the
other matchup in Group C.
It is just good to be back
in the playoffs to have an
opportunity to continue our

season with a pretty special
group of kids, Richardson
said. We definitely have
a little swagger going It
could have gone either way
after week 3. These kids
could have said forget it, and
we didnt.
As far as we know, we are
starting the season over, and
we can win five more and be
state champs.
Verona 42,
Madison Memorial 0
Tindall scored three touchdowns and rushed for 144
yards on eight attempts in
Fridays blowout win, while
senior running back Luke
Lamberson and junior running back Dominic Sabbarese
each added touchdowns in the
second half.
Two of Tindalls touchdowns came in the third
quarter. He scored on a
32-yard run four minutes in
the second half, and then he

added a 35-yard touchdown
run less than a minute later to
make it 27-0.
I think we just found plays
that were working, Tindall
said. The outside plays started working, and the blocking
was great on those. It was just
easy runs on those outside
plays.
Senior quarterback Noah
Roberts (7-for-11, 82 yards)
then connected with senior
running back Eric Schmid on
an 8-yard touchdown pass,
and Schmid ran in the 2-point
conversion to make it 35-0.
Sabbarese capped the scoring with a 14-yard touchdown
run with under two minutes to
go in the game.
Lamberson scored on a
7-yard run to open the second half, while Tindall scored
the lone first-half touchdown
on an 18-yard run in the first

quarter.
Junior defensive lineman
Trayvonn Johnson forced
a fumble and picked up 11
tackles and a sack. Senior
linebacker Sam Favour added an interception and half a
sack, while senior defensive
lineman Corey Miller had a
sack and seven tackles. Senior
linebacker Dakin Coons added seven tackles and half a
sack.

Herkert, sophomore Renzo Albertoni and Wagman all

return with experience.
We had four JV kids
come up and practice with us,
but you can never tell because
the offseason is an extremely
long time, Andreska said.
A lot of growing can be
done and a lot of maturing. There are always a few
kids that you have in mind
that you are looking forward
adno=374664-01
Nelson and Jenkins both

competed on varsity, but
didnt score.
Veronas Alec Shiva ran
a tactical JV1 race and with
a new inhaler was not bothered by asthma.That resulted
in a season PR of 17:16 and
he can now take it to another
level in his racing.
Shivas return to varsity
should give us some extra
punch that we could use
to make it back to the big
dance, which is our goal this
year, Marks said. Again,
fifth place isnt too bad when
you are going against six other state ranked teams.
Hacker held the fastest
time Saturday, covering the
5k course in 14:55.
Top-ranked Madison La
Follette placed four of its
five runners in the top nine,
but finished second behind

the Regents 36-48. Middleton (120) rounded out the top
three.
The Wildcats finished in
the middle of the pack, taking fifth (out of 10 schools)
with 130 points.
We had a very good shot
at third but didnt keep our
pack tight enough until the
end, Marks said. We went
out very hard, however.
Verona finished just 10
points behind ninth-ranked
Middleton, which finished
third and three points behind
fourth place Sun Prairie.
To qualify for state we
know we will need a better
effort and a more balanced
attack, Marks said.Brady
was 37 seconds ahead of our
third runner. If that happens
in sectionals it will be our
last meet for this year.

After edging the Cardinals 25-22 in

the second set, the Wildcats trailed 10-7
in set 3. But five straight points by Verona put the pressure on Sun Prairie, and
the Wildcats held on for a 15-13 win and
the championship.
I think we were tired from the beginning, and after the first game, we realized that we worked so hard this season
and knew what we needed to do and
definitely came to play in the second
and third game, senior libero Samantha
Kolpek said. I think we were nervous
but we talked about it and realized that
there wasnt anything to lose here. We
were conference champions once and
wanted to beat them again. So we put
everything out on the court that we had.
It is a good feeling, and it motivates
us to keep doing. We are not done yet,
and we are not satisfied.
Verona (30-5 overall, 9-0 Big Eight)
came into the tournament without a lost
set in conference play, but that changed
with a second set loss to Middleton
which needed tiebreaker wins over
Janesville Parker (25-19) and Madison
West (25-23) just to reach the semifinals.
The Wildcats then fell in the first
set to Sun Prairie 25-15 to set up their
comeback victory.
In both matches, the defense and the
blocking was key to stopping long runs.
Against Middleton, Verona had five
total blocks and 39 digs. Against Sun
Prairie, the Wildcats had a couple of
blocks and 57 digs.
One of the things we have been
working on is our block, and so that
has helped us set up our defense more
six kills, while senior Hannah Miller

and Brisack finished with two aces each.
Schmaltz and Kolpek added 19 and 17
digs, respectively.
Brisack picked up 12 assists.
Verona defeated Beloit Memorial
2-0 (25-4, 25-9), Madison La Follette
(25-22, 28-26), Madison Memorial (258, 25-16) and Janesville Craig (25-12,
25-15) in the match play of the tournament.
Against Beloit, junior Jordan Pertzborn had seven kills, while juniors Karly
Pabich and Jaedyn Wozniak finished
with four aces each. Pertzborn also added 1 1/2 blocks.
Miller led with seven digs, and Brisack picked up eight assists.
Against Madison Memorial, senior
Morgan Schmitz had three aces, while
Mueller led with four kills. Kolpek had
eight digs, and Brisack finished with 15
assists.
Against Madison La Follette,
Schmaltz had seven kills, while Brisack
led with four aces and 14 assists. Mueller picked up one block, and Kolpek finished with 19 digs.
Against Janesville Craig, Schmaltz
led with eight kills, while Schmitz and
Pabich each had three aces. Pabich added a block, and Brisack finished with 21
assists. Kolpek led with 16 digs.
The Wildcats host 15-seeded Madison East in the regional opener at 7 p.m.
Thursday, Oct. 23. The winner plays the
winner of No. 7 Baraboo/No. 10 Onalaska at 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 25.
It has been our goal all season (to
win conference), and I think it gives us
a lot of momentum going into our next
game Thursday against East, Schmaltz
said.

Classrooms: Focus on science, technology, engineering

Bringing in the community
introductory courses they had

at the beginning.
Like any new program,
it takes a little time to grow
and to get the word out, said
Hope Mikkelson, who teaches
a Human Body Systems class,
the second in the PLTW biomedical sciences strand.
To teach the higher courses,
like HBS and Principles of
Engineering on the engineering strand, the teachershad to
take a certification course over
the summer. Theyre now
certified for the third class in
each strand, but there wasnt
enough interest this year to
actually hold those classes.
Mikkelson mentioned
the potential of the program
spreading to lower levels in
the district as teachers get certified there, which could help
them fill those open spots as
students are exposed to the
alternative classroom style
earlier on. How expansions
at the middle and elementary
school would be funded, however, is unknown.
Project Lead the Way (PLTW) teachers hope

that along with more interest from students, they
can generate some interest from community
members in the respective fields of engineering and
biomedical science.
The teachers would like to offer more
opportunities for job shadowing, field trips and
other networking and professional experiences for
the students.
They see the PLTW advisory council, which
includes parents, current and former students and
area professionals, as a way to make that happen.
Hope Mikkelson, who teaches in the biomedical
strand along with Angie Midthun-Hensen, said
involvement can show theres a connection
between school and community.
For more information on getting involved with
the PLTW advisory councils at VAHS, contact Rick
Boehm at boehmr@verona.k12.wi.us, Mikkelson at
mikkelsh@verona.k12.wi.us, or Midthun-Hensen at
midthuna@verona.k12.wi.us.
specifications for the PLTW

certification process, which
involved a week-long class
at the Milwaukee School of
Engineering. That left him
without money to purchase
enough robot parts for an
entire class.
He said the school doesnt
have the money to put into
the program itself right now,
but he had hoped the district
would be interested in helping
it expand.
I just think that if the district is gung-ho on Project
Lead the Way, then they
should do a better job of
getting the middle school
involved and providing the
resources necessary, Cohen

The Verona Area School

Board began discussing the
over to the basement in the

main building where the metal
and wood shops are.
Plus, the two classrooms
being next to each other is
great for collaboration among
both the students and teachers,
Mikkelson pointed out.
That space, just for collegiality, amongst the students
and the teachers, has been
great, she said. Even some
of his engineering kids are
coming over to our side and
saying, Whats going on in
here? And some of our kids
are going to the engineering
side. Just to show theyre connected.

Cost of expansion
While teachers hope the
classrooms, at a cost of
$401,521, will help the program reach more students,
that isnt the only cost of
PLTW programs.
In addition to the yearly
fees, it also costs money to
begin, something Badger
Ridge Middle School teacher
Ross Cohen is struggling
with. Cohen, through a major
grant from Epic, was able to
take a certification course this
summer for the Automation
and Robotics course.
But some of the grant
money had to be spent on
a computer with the right

Starting at $2,299
to meet safety, emission and operating requirements, the actual
prospect of new classrooms

at VAHS in November 2013,
though the idea had first come
up a couple of years ago,
Boehm said. The classrooms
design actually came from a
student, as Boehm had made
it a class project.
We were going to do it two
years ago, but it never came
through, he recalled. So I
was a little bit leery about this
year, but now that its come
through its awesome.
He said the biggest upgrade
is the additional storage
space. In past years, students
have had to adjust the size of
their projects and the pieces
involved because there simply
wasnt enough room.
It just gives them so many
different possibilities because
they have all the tools, all the
storage, he said. It honestly
allows them to build bigger
projects, because last year I
had to require it to a smaller
size, almost like a shoe box
size. Now they can have a full
3-foot-by-3-foot area for their
projects, so they dont have to
modify the pieces as much.
The location is much
improved, as well, as
Boehms classroom had previously been in the K-Wing.
That meant if he forgot a tool,
he would have to have a student or himself run all the way

Andrew Beauchamp, left, and
teacher Rick Boehm show a

board a robot designed as part
of an engineering class. The
board consists of engineers
from the community serving on the Engineering Club
board, something Boehm hopes
to expand to offer more job
shadow opportunities for PLTW
students.
*The gross torque of this engine was laboratory rated by the
ago with the introductory level course, as a focus on STEM

began to spread throughout
the education world. That
focus was for good reason,
Mikkelson said.
If we dont continue to get
students into engineering and
the health fields, were going
to be losing out, she said.
We need to be able to have
people that are going to take
care of us for our health, and
we also need to have students
that are in engineering so that
we can be innovative and
competitive in the world.
That sentiment is echoed
on the national programs
website, PLTW.org. But the
classes are not for everyone,
Mikkelson pointed out.
Not only do they come with
an extra cost, the self-driven
style of learning means students must go at their own
pace throughout each unit.
Some kids, it really is like,
Oh this is great, she said.
And some kids will do the
first year and be like, I dont
like this at all. I cant pace
myself. I dont know what Im
doing.
Students in the second-level
classes have discovered they
like that way of learning.
I like that you can teach
yourself, said Haley Bird,
who is in the Human Body
Systems class this year. You
get a packet and then you have
to go through it by yourself
and its self-learning. Then, if
you have questions, you can
ask the teacher.
The program has an annual
subscription fee that includes
its curriculum, course software, teacher development,
assessments and reporting
tools. At the high school level,
its $3,000 per year for engineering and $2,000 per year
for biomedical, according to
an email from PLTW senior
director of media and public
relations Jennifer Cahill.
Those fees are the same no
matter how many sections
or levels are offered, and at
VAHS there are three sections
in each strand offered this
year.
said.
He mentioned that he had
submitted an Innovation
Grant application last year,
one of 37 the board had to
choose among to fund, and it
did not get chosen.
Verona Area School District superintendent Dean
Gorrell reiterated his desire
for the program to expand,
but pointed to PLTWs initial
momentum at the high school
as a key behind the districts
investment in the new rooms.
It was, Gosh theyve really put a lot of energy into this,
theyve got a lot but what
they really were lacking was
facilities to support that kind
of growth, he said.

Future: VASD officials explore building new school, want to balance short and long term
A fourth piece of land
near the North Neighborhood the City of Verona
is planning could also be
coming, though the board
has yet to discuss any specifics of that purchase in
open session.
The district created the
19-member Future Schools
Committee to gather community input on potential
new buildings and grade
reconfigurations after it
became clear land purchases were coming. The committee had asked for more
guidance at its initial May
meeting, and thats partly
why it hasnt met since.
Short term, long term

When it does meet again,
board members concluded
Monday, it will have to
discuss how to best alleviate the near-term issues
while also taking a longterm look at the districts
future growth.
In the short term, the
Glacier Edge Elementary
School attendance area
on the south side of the
district is growing at an
unsustainable rate, with the
Cathedral Point and Scenic
Ridge neighborhoods taking on most of Veronas
available area for development. The school was
already 49 students over
projections this year, and
one of the land purchases
would help alleviate those
concerns if an elementary
school were built there.
Sugar Creek Elementary

School also faces major
structural issues with its
58-year-old building,
and a decision looms on
whether to keep a downtown elementary school.
The board concluded after
a short conversation Monday, though, that it should
wait until architects had
taken a look at the grounds
and outlined the realistic
options.
Theres no point in
hashing this out; we dont
even have the information, Gauthier said.
In the long-term, Verona
projects as a city that will
continue to grow, along
with Madisons southwest
side and the west side of
Fitchburg, and while that
could mean immediate
needs at the elementary
level, those kids will eventually grow into the middle
and high school students.
That led some on the
board to mention an alternative to the traditional elementary-middlehigh school expansion
sequence.
It just seems to me that
the better road may be just
to go top-down on this
and think about building a
high school with a pretty
large capacity, said board
member Derrell Connor,
because Veronas growing like crazy and just
looking at the current high
school and framing things
out from there.
That possibility exists
because two of the
Guidance for the committee

High school first or elementary school?
Balance short-term problems and long-term solutions
Dont decide on whether to keep a downtown school
until Sugar Creek building has been evaluated
Guiding principles reaffirmed: Keep neighborhoods
together, limit busing and spread lower-income students
among schools
proposed land purchases
are adjacent and would
offer more than 100 acres
of land on the west side of
the city.
But any choice brings
another set of decisions,
whether thats new boundary lines or grade reconfigurations or something yet
to be determined.
To help with those
unknowns down the line,
the board reaffirmed its
guiding principles at the
meeting, which were first
established when Country
View Elementary School
was being built around the
1999-2000 school year.
Those include that students should walk whenever possible, bus costs and
riding time should be kept
to a minimum, neighborhoods should stay together
as much as possible and
the free/reduced lunch population should be balanced
among schools.
Creating a focus
A major concern with the
committee, which has only
held one meeting so far, is
its purpose.
Before Mondays
meeting, those guiding

principles had been the
only direction given. And
with many opinions to balance among 19 members,
discussions will need guidance or they could lose
focus and waste time.
We could just say, We
want to build a high school
next, and then were going
to have this issue, figure
that out, said board member Renee Zook, who also
sits on the Future Schools
Committee. Or we could
say, Research these few
issues, or we could give
them the blank canvas.
But there was no guideline whatsoever (at the first
meeting).
Gauthier added that it
would be completely
unfair for the board to
not give the committee
guidelines if it already has
an idea of the direction it
may want to go. She noted
that could lead to the board
rejecting whatever the
committee comes up with.
I think we have to tell
them, This is kind of what
were thinking and this is
why were thinking it,
she said.
Connor
It just seems to me that the

better road may be just to go
top-down on this and think
about building a high school
with a pretty large capacity
because Veronas growing like
crazy.
Derrell Connor
VASD board member
With the potential of $10

million worth of land purchases on the April ballot,
some board members also
hope the committee can
serve as a communications
arm to keep conversations
going throughout Verona.
It may be that were
upfront and honest and
say, We arent 100 percent defined on our plan of
what were building, but
we know that we need to
build, said board member John McCulley. So we
need to have these conversations.
Options
Part of the reason the
board isnt sure about
what to build and when is
because the proposed land
purchases create many
options, said board president Dennis Beres.
Though it is a longterm plan, and the properties likely wouldnt
even be fully used for 25
to 30 years, those purchases would also create
adno=374475-01
flexibility now in making

decisions such as grade
reconfigurations, elementary school expansion or a
new high school.
But all of the options
come with drawbacks, such
as redrawn boundary lines
for elementary schools further breaking up the districts northeastern corner,
which includes much of
the districts low-income
population.
Some of those possibilities include a kindergarten center, where all kindergarten students would
attend, or a charter building to house all of the
charter schools, but board
members were hesitant to
embrace either idea. Members specifically cited the
strong opinions on charter
schools in that case, saying
that it could be something
to reconsider down the
road, but not until necessary due to the controversy
such a discussion could
create.
A few members
embraced the high schoolfirst idea, specifically mentioning the flexibility having the current high school
building open could allow
for in both the short- and
long-term.
You still have two
high schools essentially,
Gauthier said. You still
have these two huge buildings that were high schools
in the event you might
need that space to act that
way again.
In any case, Beres said,
its important to purchase
the land while its available, echoing a point Gorrell made when the purchases were first approved.
This is an opportunity
that fell in our laps and its
foolish to not take advantage of it, Beres said.
Well probably never
have that opportunity.
Its just such a nobrainer, it bothers me to
even have to come down
to, What are you going to
do with it? How the hell
do I know? Im not going
to be on the board in 40
years from now.
The Future Schools
Committee will meet again
later this fall and will start
by looking at the two main
options, for an elementary school first or a high
school.
Longtime board member Ken Behnke was on
the board for the purchases
of land for both Country

to see how people initially

get enough feedback to
take the pulse somewhat,
Are we crazy to be talking about building a high
school? Behnke said.
