Welcomed back
Students around the Verona Area School District returned to their classrooms
Thursday, Sept. 1, for the start of the 2016-17 school year. At Stoner Prairie
Elementary School, above, educational assistant Carolyn Murphy hugs returning student Marisol Diaz as Diaz walks into school. Principal Mike Pisani and
other staff greeted students and their families as they took photos and gave
goodbye hugs at the schools entryway and in classrooms.

Twenty years ago this

week, students walked into
Core Knowledge Charter
School classrooms for the
first time.
The teachers and students in those rooms, split
across multiple schools
around the district, had
the same goal of student
success as those in the
attendance area schools
at the time, but thought
the more structured Core
Knowledge curriculum
and a different instructional approach would better
serve some students.
Checking Ironman off her bucket list

Longtime Verona resident
tries first and only
Ironman Wisconsin race
SCOTT GIRARD
When Kathy Henderson saw an

Ironman race come through Verona
for the first time years ago, she recalls
thinking the competitors were crazy
to do it.
This weekend, the Verona resident
since 1967 will join those crazy
people.
Its on my bucket list, said Henderson, who retired at the beginning
of this year. (I figured) lets get it
crossed off now.
Henderson has done her share of
fitness events, having run five marathons and many half-Ironman races.
And shes already familiar with the
Read about road closures

and the annual
Loop Festival
Page 14
Ironman Wisconsin race, which shes
worked as a volunteer for years.
Mostly, she would help during
the run, squeezing a sponge of ice
water onto the runners backs as they
worked through the last leg of the triathlon.
Most of them would say, I love
you, or Do you want to marry me?
she recalled with a smile.
Sundays race begins and ends in
downtown Madison with a 2.4-mile
swim in Lake Monona, a 112-mile

bike ride with two loops through

Verona and finally a 26.2-mile run.
Verona has become well-known
for its Loop Festival on Main Street,
in addition to plenty of
cheering race-watchers in several other
areas, including Midtown Road near Timber Lane, an area Henderson knows well as
she lives just down the
road.
Henderson
The retiree described
the training process as
a half-time job, estimating she had trained between 20
and 22 hours per week over the last
month.
I highly recommend waiting until
youre retired, she said.
Henderson made it clear she has no
goal for finishing time just to finish

School Model United
Nations team is representing its community and
state well on the international stage.
The VAHS team, which
included 24 students last
year after debuting six
years ago, was the only
Wisconsin team that made
a recent list of top 150
Model UN teams in North
America.
Because theyve prepared so well for conferences and they know their
countries policies so well
theyre able then to be
recognized for that, said
adviser Jason Knoll.
The list was compiled
by Best Delegate, an organization that organizes

Model UN training programs at universities and
schools in North America,
Latin America, Europe, the
Middle East and Asia. The
recognition was based on
Model UN groups performance at 43 of the largest or most competitive
conferences held in the
United States and Canada
during the 2015-16 school
year.
Of those, VAHS attended only two, which made
inclusion on the list particularly impressive, Knoll
said.
If you look at the top 25
(schools), some of those
are private schools, they go
to like eight conferences a
year, Knoll said. Here
sports is the big thing. In

That message was not

always easy to communicate, though, as the group
of teachers and parents
that started the Verona
Area School Districts second charter school one
year after New Century
School became the first
battled perceptions they
were criticizing the district
and its staff through their
initiative.
People didnt understand what it was, what (a
charter was) meant to do
and why, explained Chris
Uelmen, who helped open
the school and served as its
director of curriculum until
her retirement at the end of
last year.
Now, that perception is

Looking back at the Pack

Author treats football fans to detailed history at library presentation
JOHN MORTON
Part history lesson and

part pep rally, the timing was perfect for author
Jim Rice to rile up some
fans of the green and gold
last week. On Sunday, the
Green Bay Packers season
kicks off in Jacksonville,
Fla.
This a great way to get
excited for the season,
said Veronas Sara Crowley after taking in a Why
Were Obsessed with the
Green Bay Packers presentation on Aug. 30 at
the Verona Public Library.
Ive always loved the
Packers, but I didnt know
all of the older history. I
really enjoyed that.
Speaking of green and
gold, did you know that
the Packers uniform colors
were originally blue and
gold before being changed
by coach Vince Lombardi
upon his arrival in 1959?
Or that former Lombardi-era standout Henry Jordan would later become the
first director of Milwaukees Summerfest?
Then there was the
unique 1932 season when
the Packers finished 10-31 but lost the title to the
Bears, who didnt score a
single point in their first
four games, because ties
werent calculated in the
standings back then and
Chicagos 7-1-6 record
boasted a better winning
percentage. The scenario
would prompt the National
Football League to create
a second division and title
game the following season.
Rice sprinkled in these
behind-the-scene tidbits
during a slideshow that featured a year-by-year breakdown and showcased oldtime player cards and historic photos including
Photos by John Morton
Above, author and speaker Jim Rice, far left, works a room full of Packers loyalists. On the screen is the first version of City
Stadium when it was on the east side of Green Bay. Below, giving their undivided attention are (from left) Packers fan Sara
Crowley, Maggie Ikeman and Frank Ikeman. Crowley is a Verona resident who invited her mother and brother to join her
when she learned of the presentation.
one of team co-founder
Curly Lambeaus house.
Author of a book that
details the Packers 192game history with the
Bears, Rice made sure he
gave those on hand a good
Bears jab to pass along
whenever needed.
Sid Luckman threw his
last pass (for Chicago) in
1950 and hes still the
Bears greatest quarterback, Rice said. Feel free
to use that one.
Other anecdotes included details of the bad blood
between Lombardi and
Lambeau, the infamous act
of Ezra Johnson when he
ate a hot dog on the sidelines at Milwaukee County
Stadium in the late 1970s,

and some ugly moments
from the 80s such as when
Brent Fullwood said he
was too sick to play in Chicago, only to be seen at a
nightclub later that night,

and how Charles Martin
slammed Bears quarterback Jim McMahon to
the turf as part of his hit
towel mission, where he
listed the numbers of the

players he wanted to injure
on the towel that hung
from his belt.
Then came a return to
glory, as the Brett Favre era
began and a title drought of

29 years came to a triumphant end in January 1997.
That one was my favorite, said 93-year-old fan
Maggie Ikeman, who is
Crowleys mother and has
lived to see all of the Packers league-best 13 championships. It was nice
reminiscing through all
those years, but I like that
Brett Favre championship
the best.
The good times have
continued, as the team has
reached the postseason in
18 of its last 23 years.
The mother and daughter
team will once again make
their annual pilgrimage to
Lambeau Field on Nov. 6
when the Packers play the
Colts. Its a tradition that
dates back to the 1960s,
when an uncle landed season tickets.
Weve had as many as
a dozen family members
at a game, from mom here
down to great-grandkids,
Crowley said. One year,
we tallied up the combined
years of Packer backing
and it came to 540.
Crowley and Ikeman are
classic examples of loyal
Packers fans and there are,
of course, millions more.
So why indeed are Packers fans obsessed like few
others?
Rice was quick to give
an answer.
I think its the fact the
team came from smalltown roots, as the underdog, and people around
here can identify with that
and appreciate it, said
Rice, a native New Yorker
who now lives in Cedarburg after a career as a
school superintendent. Of
course theres the winning,
but the fans have always
stayed true. Even through
the lean years.
And now its all become
part of the fabric of Wisconsin society.
Today, the games are
a social commitment for
m o s t eve r y b o d y, R i c e
said. Thats remarkable.

families are getting the

healthy, fresh food they
need and less waste is ending up in our landfill. This
initiative truly betters our
community.
After working with
Healthy Food for All to
channel UGMs leftovers
to people and families in
need last year, Epic began
donating food on a weekly basis and has since
donated more than 60,000
pounds of food, according
to the release.
Since the summer of
2015, Healthy Food for
All has aimed to provide
locally-sourced, healthy
and culturally-appropriate options by collecting,
packaging and distributing
both prepared foods and
produce from area farms
and gardens.
Chris Brockel, the nonprofits project manager,
said at the news conference that the van donation
increases (its) infrastructure and ability to meet its
goals.
Prior to receiving the
donation we were renting
vehicles on a regular basis,
he added. Now we can
free up resources to build
other parts of our effort.

A year after Epic Systems and Madison nonprofit Healthy Food for All
began working together to
divert leftover food from
landfills into area food
pantries, Dane County
announced it would join the
partnership.
As Epic prepares to host
thousands of customers at
its annual Users Group
Meetings later this month,
Dane County Executive Joe
Parisi said in a news conference last week that the
county will donate a van
the nonprofit could use to
transport excess food from
the conference to the pantries.
Discussions are also
underway to provide
freezer space and industrial kitchen access, as well,
according to a county news
release.
This is a common-sense
solution to helping more
of our vulnerable families
in Dane County, Parisi
said in the release. More

is the big thing.

At those conferences last
year, VAHS students represented Turkey, Brazil and
Italy. Students won numerous awards, including an
Outstanding Delegation
award at the Model United Nations University of
Chicago conference and a
Best Delegate award at
the Chicago International
Model United Nations conference.
Knoll said the schools
relatively small team size
many teams had 60 to 100
participants helps create a culture of leadership
among the students.
They do team-building activities where its
just them; we have student
leaders who take charge,
he said. It all of a sudden
becomes a self-imposed
mentorship. The students
really take it upon themselves to help the new students along.

inspired by the refugee crisis in the Middle East. The
group asked for donations,
g ave s u p p l i e s t o l o c a l
homeless students and
the United Way and sent
money to the UN Refugee
Agency.
That effort was not
among the considerations
for this recognition, which
relied solely on performance at major conferences. Knoll said he is
always happy when I see
the students recognized
and has hopes for more
success to come.
This is months and
months of preparation, he
said. Its really nice, especially given the fact that
were a young team, relatively.

Bus to nowhere felt

like a trip back in time
I
f you spend any time at a
bus terminal, within minutes
you begin to pick up on the
culture.
You notice the lady there everyday, selling newspapers. How
she greets everyone that walks
by. How she knows the times and
routes of all her customers.
If something is out of place,
she notices it. Like me, on the day
I wrote this.
This was my
first time at the
terminal, and I
was on my way
to the middle of
nowhere, or as
the locals say,
the worlds
anus.
Dresser
This middle
of nowhere
happened to be a remote Pacific
beach. I had been tipped off by a
friend of a friend that sea turtles
had been spotted nesting on this
beach and I should come check
it out.
I usually drive in Costa Rica,
but I chose the bus for this trip
because only the tried and true
succeed in reaching a destination
few want to experience. And I
was certain I would take more
than a few wrong turns if I tried
to navigate myself.
The newspaper lady caught my
puppy-dog face and asked what
was wrong. I showed her my ticket for an 11:50 a.m. departure and
my watch, which said 12:10 p.m.
She laughed and said that the bus
has been leaving at 12:30 p.m. for
years and they have never updated the ticket info.
Well, that was new for me,
though Im used to buses not
being entirely dependable. Some
depart late from the scheduled
time, others charge a different
price from whats listed and some
go a completely different route to
arrive at their destination.
It didnt seem to bother anyone
else that the tickets werent accurate. I guess after you do it a few
times, you know what to expect.
When the bus arrived, it also

had an incorrect sign. After double-checking with the driver and
passengers, I felt pretty confident
Id found the right bus. Although,
with my destination being the
middle of nowhere, I felt I could
have gotten on any bus, as they
all seemed to be headed to the
end of the world.
I had been on rural buses
before, but this particular one
reminded me that not everything
in Costa Rica is first-world and
country is very much country. For
one thing, the outside was caked
in mud and dirt, which meant
they were not storing any luggage
underneath.
The luggage was actually
sacks filled with rice, beans,
cooking oil and all the basic
staples of the Costa Rican diet.
We had to stack these bags in
the aisle, in the wheelchair space
and even on some of the seats. It
looked as if our bus had doubled
as a meals-on-wheels delivery
vehicle.
I recalled my mother-in-law
joking with me when I got married that Id have to take a sack to
the market, fill it with food, and
carry it back to the house over
my shoulder, like a good Costa
Rican husband. At the time, I
had thought that practice, common some 40-50 years ago, had
become something of an urban
legend. Apparently not.
Once the bus was loaded, five
minutes were set aside for vendors to peruse the aisle to sell
soda, snacks, books, umbrellas,
newspapers etc. Rather than travel accessories, they were a final
chance to take some civilization
with you before you dropped off
the map.
As we pulled out of the terminal, I half-expected to see mothers waving their hands and blowing kisses to their loved ones,
acting like we were setting off to
sea to prove the earth was not flat.
It was nice to have the opportunity to just sit and stare out the
window and take everything in.
The route was fascinating.

It had just rained, which made
everything greener than normal.
There were also little fog clouds
suspended over the rainforest
covered mountains, providing
my-so-called mystique effect,
where I have to pinch myself to
make sure Im not in a Jurassic
park movie.
Sure enough, we entered the
rainforest portion of the route
and the pavement turned to dirt.
As we went along, letting people
off, occasionally we made stops
where no people got off, just
sacks.
Usually, it would be at a makeshift crossing and there would
be a motorbike waiting to take
a sack off on another dirt road
that ran into the mountain. Other
times wed stop, toss the sack on
the side of the road and continue
on our way.
The atmosphere on the bus
made me feel like I was on a family vacation with the bus driver
chatting to the passengers like
a father would chat to his kids
in the backseat. Things couldnt
have been more leisurely. I could
have asked for a potty break and
the bus would have pulled right
over for me.
It didnt matter whether we
were crossing some highly
questionable bridges or driving
through streams of unknown
depth, the chatter went on,
un-dazed.
My daze was interrupted,
though, when the driver shouted
Ostional! That was my stop. I
looked up blankly to see he was
looking right at me.
Luckily, the newspaper lady
had told the driver where I needed
to get off, or I would have followed that bus right to the end of
the world. After that, there were
turtles, but nothing quite lived up
to the adventure of getting there.

Blind Spots
People sometimes ask us if we hear ourselves when
we are saying something silly or shocking, or this may
just be their way of saying that we have no idea how
silly we sound. Weve probably all had the experience of
hearing our recorded voice and asking Do I really sound
like that? The answer is almost invariably yes, you do
indeed sound like that. There are acoustical reasons why
we dont hear ourselves accurately, just as there are psychological reasons why we dont always perceive ourselves accurately. Just as the eye is a virtual blind spot
we cant see our own eyes without using a mirrorthe
ego is a psychological blind spot. In practice this means
that we have a self-serving bias and tend to see things
our way and are not particularly adept at seeing other
peoples points of view. William James remarked that
we are all afflicted with a particular blindness in regard
to the feelings of creatures and people different from
ourselves. We often see this in questions of politics and
religion. We just cant understand how someone could
hold this or that position. But once we are aware of this
pervasive blind spot we can make the necessary adjustment, which is both an act of humility and an openness
to understanding how others may think or feel. All of our
sensory and cognitive faculties have blind spots, and we
do well to keep this uppermost in our minds.

Verona sweeps Memorial
varsity and JV meets

Sports editor
Head coach Bill Wuerger and the

Verona Area/Mount Horeb girls
swimming team knew that Madison
Memorial would provide a much
higher level of competition Friday
than Beloit had the previous week.
Still, the Wildcats won eight of
11 varsity events and added several second- and third-place finishes
to improve to 2-0 in the Big Eight
Conference with a 101-69 win.
Most of our girls stepped up and
swam very well, Wuerger said.
Verona defeated Memorial in the
JV competition for the first time
ever, a reflection of having stronger
depth on this years team.
Sophomore Grace Bennin led

a 1-2-3 VA/MH sweep in the 100
breaststroke, winning in 1:14.67.
Senior Kristi Larsen (1:15.91) and
sophomore Caroline Smith (1:18.8)
rounded out the top three.
Junior Sophie Henshue won both
distance events, taking the 200
free in 2:12.21. Henshue (4:40.91)
and sophomore Gabby Gnewuch
(4:46.54) later finished 1-2 in the
400 free for the Wildcats.
Senior Maizie Seidl (2:31.4) and
freshman Kaitlyn Zuehl (2:33.96)
added a 1-2 finish in the 200 IM,
while Bennin (27.48) and Stewart (28.68) went 1-2 in the 50 free.
Seidl also added the 100 free title in
1:01.3.

Turn to Swim/Page 11 (1:18.80) took second and third, respectively.
Cracking the top 20 at the

40th annual Verona Invitational on Saturday was bittersweet for senior TJ Manning.
Manning posted a time of
16 minutes, 48 seconds for
17th place but still felt like
he left something on the
course against some of the
states top competition.
This is always an awesome meet, he said. Im
really proud to be from
Verona and host this meet.
I know teams come here
from all around and really
enjoy it.
I would have loved to
go a little bit harder, but I
know this was some of the
toughest competition in the
state. Looking forward, Id
like to keep pushing forward and eventually make
state.
The Wildcats have quite
the legacy over the last couple of years with guys like
Ryan Nameth (UW-Madison) and Brady Traeder
(UW-Milwaukee) and Manning hopes to be the next in
line.
Those guys have trained
me really well how to be a
leader on the team, he said.
I was nervous at the beginning of the summer when
we started our summer running, but as the guys started trickling in and I got to
know everyone, I really
stepped into that leadership
role.
The main for me is coming out here and supporting
the younger guys and making sure they learn how to
have fun and race hard.

Senior offensive lineman Sean

Dobson started at center the past
three weeks, but an injury in the
second quarter Friday against
Madison Memorial forced the
host Wildcats to trust in his
backup, junior Timmy Curtis.
Curtis had a few warm-up
tosses on the sideline before
going in, and the first couple of
snaps forced senior Max Fink to
leap, but Curtis settled in as the
game went on.
The snaps were a lot less

goal of breaking 20 minutes
Saturday at the 40th annual

Remiker led the Verona
girls cross country team with
a 17th-place finish in 20 minutes, 32 seconds.
It hurt a lot, but Im pretty proud of myself, said
Remiker who cut about 20
seconds the previous week
at Watertown. My personal goal is just to break 20
because my mom ran cross
country and her best was like
18 something (back girls ran a
4k instead of a 5k). I want to
do as good as my mom.
Running on her home
course boosted the underclassmens confidence.
I just try not to let my team
down. I just want to make my
parents and coach proud,
Remiker said.

CKCS: School opened in 1996 as second charter school in the Verona Area School District
Good start
As the overnight hours
approached in early February
1996 the night before the
Saturday enrollment date for
CKCS its founders sat nervously waiting to see if there
would be enough support for
their idea from VASD families.
Of course, it was one of
the coldest days of the year,
some of the founders recalled.
That left the group unsure
whether people would be
willing to sit through the
weather for the first-come,
first-serve enrollment on
top of their worries over
whether anyone was interested in the school itself.
You go into this and you
dont know if youre going to
have 10 people come or 100
people, Uelmen said.
As the hours passed, cars
began showing up in the
parking lot as early as 3a.m.
It was like the Field of
Dreams Uelmen recalled
with a smile. We built it and
they did come.
Indeed, the school had a
wait list for requests in its first
year.
White House recognition

Core Knowledge Charter School has
not only gained acceptance in the Verona Area School District in its 20 years.
It also gained recognition from the White
House.
MaryKay Zimbrick, whose children
went through the school and who has
served on the governing council and
non-profit board throughout the years,
was invited in 2001 to meet George W.
Bush at the White House to recognize
CKCS among other charter schools.
That was a tremendous honor for
me, Zimbrick said. That was the highlight of my professional life.

She recalled being congratulated by
Bush and mentioned that the photo of her
meeting the former president still hangs
in the schools office.
It was just cool beyond cool, she
said. I never thought in my life Id be
able to meet the President of the United States and talk to him about what we
were doing in a meaningful way.

True to principles
Sticking true to those two
foundation principles has
helped CKCS remain popular
throughout its existence.
Kids have to master skills
so that they can go beyond
that, Kreienkamp explained
of the Core Knowledge curriculum.
Both the curriculum and
instruction method in which
teachers work with a group
of students and ask them to
respond to a problem at the
snap of fingers or the clap of
hands have stayed with the
school even as the education
world has changed.
From behavior initiatives
to educational standards and
testing, and certainly extending to technology, a classroom is a much different
place than it was in 1996. But
at Core, theyve made sure
its not too different.
If Core can stay true to its
value of the parents are really the driving force and the
decision makers and we can
stay true to what are the core
values of the core curriculum,
everything else can be modified, Zimbrick said.

its third elementary charter

(Verona Area International School) and even a high
school charter in the Exploration Academy.
It speaks volumes to the
fact that Verona is innovative
in that they recognize there
are different ways to meet
students needs, current
director Rick Kisting said of
the schools continued existence.
Public charter schools,
while still part of the school
district, have more freedom
in their funding decisions and
can bypass some state regulations as outlined in their
agreements with the district.
The goal of charters is to try
innovative educational techniques, and if successful,
bring those into the district
for the general school population.
The schools governing
councils have more authority to make funding decisions
and outline school priorities
than site councils at the attendance area schools.
Throughout Core Knowledges existence, the district
has renewed the schools
charter agreement four times,
further entrenching its place
here. Though the school has
adapted to district-wide initiatives on behavior and personalized learning, those most
involved with its beginning
and some who stayed through
its 20th year said the key
for the schools success has
been sticking with the direct
instruction and Core Knowledge curriculum that set it
apart.
The philosophy was
totally different than the
districts, explained Kelli
Kreienkamp, a founder who
began teaching at the school
in 2000. Thats what charter
schools are for.
While those academic differences are important, its
what the school has created
both inside and outside its
classroom that seems just as
significant to many of those
who have been involved over
the years.
We built a community;
we built a family, said Kreienkamp. It was parents who
created it for parents.

weve never been before,
Henderson said of the plan.
Its part of a healthy lifestyle Henderson has kept up
for a long time, especially
as shes gotten older, as she
and her husband recognized
the importance of significant exercise in remaining healthy into their older
years.
Even in younger days,
running was an enjoyable
enough activity to entice
her to run in five marathons.
Each time, she finished
quickly enough to qualify
for the Boston Marathon
the race considered by many
as the ultimate in marathon
running.
Training can be monotonous, though, Henderson
said, especially for something like an Ironman.
Sometimes you get up
and think, I dont feel like
doing this today, she said.
Even on those days, she
finds motivation in getting
closer to being race-ready.

Police to direct traffic

The City of Verona is asking drivers to be aware of
the Ironman route Sunday as bikers pass through the
city.
Streets affected by the race are Whalen Road, South
Main Street, Locust Drive, Bruce Street, Paoli Street,
Nine Mound Road, Cross Country Road, North Main
Street, East Verona Avenue and Old Hwy. PB.
The city specifically asks motorists to avoid the
intersection of PB and Whalen, where bikers will
enter and leave the city. The Hwy. 18-151 ramps at
Paoli Street will be closed during the race, and the
city recommends accessing the highway via West
Verona Avenue at Epic Lane.
The first cyclist usually enters the city around
7:15a.m., with the final cyclist leaving around
5:30p.m.
Verona police will have officers stationed at some
intersections during the race to aid with traffic flow.
