Nomination brings council to boil

Alders still cant agree on Plan Commission representative
Jim Ferolie
Verona Press editor

The Common Council has had some contentious debates over the years, but its been a long time since one got as animated as

Mondays. With the council having turned over half its membership in this months election, the body could not come to a consensus over who should be its representative for the Plan Commission generally the most coveted and high-profile assignment of any of the citys boards. The stalemate was so rigid that alders discussed the possibility of changing city ordinances to end it.

And that was right after one alder banged his fist on the table during an extended oratory and another spat out an indignant complaint about not getting respect. If the votes do not change in the future, the city would either need to allow more than one council representative as it had, in violation of its own ordinance, in 2008 and 2009 or change the citys requirement that a nominee get a two-thirds majority vote.

State statutes require the commission to have seven members (or add a building inspector as an eighth), but they do not require a two-thirds vote. It would be possible to amend our ordinance, city administrator Bill Burns told the council. That ordinance would need to be published, and then wed follow the new procedure

Downtown plan looks into traffic

Torching tradition
Above, Verona Area High School senior Andrew Terwilliger piles brush on a small, controlled prairie fire at the Verona School Forest just west of the high school last Tuesday. Left, Glacier Edge teacher Liz Penner quizzes her third-grade class on why certain trees in the forest are bent to the southeast during an exploratory walk through the forest earlier in the day (their conclusion was that it was to get more light). Several classes from Glacier Edge and New Century visited to see the burn and take scientific lessons from it. Matt Tillers environmental science and earth science classes have been taking part in the annual prairie burn for 17 years, with only one missed year, because the state enforced a burn ban during a dry spring. This years burn took all day, with the still damp field going up in patches.

When Verona residents get a look at the next step of the citys downtown plan, theyll have to consider some difficult choices for handling traffic at Four Corners. The Verona Downtown Transportation and Corridor Study Steering Committee got a first look at three traffic plan options last week: a larger, signalized intersection, a roundabout and a pair of one-way streets all of which have drawbacks. The committee made no recommendations on which option they favored. Public comments will be welcomed at a meeting in May. Each option comes with challenges, and existing right-of-way space is chief among those concerns, MSA Professionals project engineer Kevin Ruhland explained. Ruhland, who was hired by the city to conduct the study, said engineers usually need about 66 feet of right-of-way to build a road with four lanes, some bike facilities and sidewalk areas. The area at the intersection of Verona Avenue and Main Street provides between 51 and 61 feet of space to work with on Main Street. Another challenge is dealing with traffic flow

Its your health. Its our calling.

Meet Larry,
a person who loves making others happy.
Just like the other health care professionals at Oakwood Village, Larry believes in treating each of the people he serves as an individual. For him, helping people isnt just a jobits a way to make signicant differences in the lives of the people he serves, as well as his own. Its also not just something he wants to do, its something he feels he needs to do. And, to us, thats how a health care professional should be.

Police report
Information from Verona police log books: March 21 3:33 p.m. Police consulted a man seeking advice for a Craigslist trade, in which he would receive a Bushmaster rifle for a vacuum cleaner. Police noted inaccuracies in the online description of the firearm and advised that verifying that it was not stolen couldnt be done without the serial number. March 23 6:56 p.m. A passerby reported baseball cards strewn across the 500 block of Enterprise Drive. Police took the cards into custody after an unsuccessful search for the owner of the approximately 250 Wizards of the Coast cards. March 25 5:58 p.m. Police removed a sick raccoon from a garage on Monte Cristo Circle. March 27 12:12 p.m. Police returned a runaway dog found on the 100 block of Valley View Street to its registered home on Melody Lane after a man reported the animal in his yard. The door to the dogs registered residence was open, and police left the dog in the empty residence. 12:28 a.m. Police arrested a 26-year-old man for his third OWI after he crashed his vehicle on the corner of Ineichen Drive and Lucerne Drive. Police first learned of the incident via a callin for the crash and a man stumbling down the road. Police held the man for 12 hours and cited him for interfering with an officer and imprudent speed along with the OWI he received.

Downtown: Roundabout, one-way options

Continued from page 1 and backups. Traffic counts done in 2012 show significant delays during peak hours in almost all directions. Traffic projections for the year 2035 call for even more volume and more delays. The goal of the traffic portion of the study is to improve traffic flow, safety and access to businesses in the downtown area. Several intersection alternatives like an onramp-style grade-separated intersection or jug-handle intersection (such as whats being planned at Mineral Point) were eliminated early simply because of their size or complexity. At last weeks meeting, Ruhland and MSA project planner Jason Valerius presented a comparison of three options that might work.

In brief
Three alternatives for the intersection at Main Street and Verona Avenue were introduced at the Verona Downtown Transportation and Corridor Study Steering Committee last week. Those options include a signal, a roundabout and a pair of one-way streets. Public comments will be welcomed at a meeting in May. through the intersection would mean less impact further from the intersection. A roundabout would produce the shortest number of backups at the intersection, but there are concerns about what happens when the traffic volume outgrows the intersections capacity. Roundabouts are considered safer by traffic engineers because they eliminate the potential for headon or T-bone collisions. Most crashes are minor. Pedestrian safety also has a good track record, but there are concerns about traffic exiting the roundabout and increasing speed. A roundabout would also impact several buildings near the intersection, but would have less impact on buildings further away from the intersection.

City plans another visible OWI patrol

Jim Ferolie
Verona Press editor

An experimental drunken-driving patrol in Verona went over so well last summer that the city is getting ready to do it again this year twice. On Monday, the Common Council approved an agreement among nine government bodies to host the second round of the so-called Impaired Driving Task Force. The first patrol is expected to be in May in De Forest, and it will then rotate twice around the seven participating municipalities. The patrols, which the De Forest police department started in-house a few years ago and brought around the county last year, are funded by a state grant and designed to be a deterrent, rather than a way to pile up arrests. Officers cruise the main roads and make frequent contacts, or stops, while reflective signs alert drivers that theyre being watched. The intention of the high-visibility enforcement is to do a media blitz prior to and throughout to make it very obvious to the motoring public, police chief Bernie Coughlin told the Public Safety and Welfare committee Monday. In fact, last years patrol in Verona and most of the other five patrols ended up with zero arrests, which is just fine with police. The whole idea is to prevent crashes and get the message out, De Forest Lt. Dan Furseth explained to

the Press last week. Furseth has been running the operation and applying for the Department of Transportation grants, which will cover up to $30,000 in expenses this year. Last year it covered one round of patrols and the purchase of signs for up to $18,000. Each patrol is expected to line up seven or more officers one from each agency with some departments committing even more staff to their local efforts. As of Tuesday, Furseth had received signed agreements from a handful of the nine participants. Blue Mounds did not opt to return to the program, but new this year will be the city and town of Madison, the Wisconsin State Patrol and the University of Wisconsin. The municipalities tweaked the agreement this year to change the liability and responsibility for officers to the employing department, rather than the hosting department, and that might have encouraged Madison to take part this year, Coughlin speculated at Mondays meeting. Any citations issued, however, will go through the hosting communitys municipal court, regardless of who writes it. Last years event blanketed North Main Street and East Verona Avenue with police and a couple of signs, and the activity was apparently obvious even in the stands of the MiddletonVerona football game.

I was sitting in the stands, and I remember thinking, What in the world is going on? recalled Ald. Scott Manley (Dist. 2) who soon realized it was the patrol he had voted to authorize a month earlier. Fellow committee member Ald. Jeremy Charles had an even better story one that spoke to the ultimate purpose of the patrol. I had a party a little bit west of the township here that I always go to that always involves a lot of alcohol, a large bonfire, he said. On the Facebook page, a day or two before the event, went out, By the way, Verona police are going to be doing a lot of enforcement this weekend, so make sure you crash on my couch if you need to. The patrols must be completed before Oct. 1, according to the parameters of the grant, and Veronas first patrol has yet to be scheduled because of the pending agreements. It is likely to be in May or June.

Traffic signal

The traffic signal option could have two through lanes and a left turn lane each way. Traffic flow projections based on estimated 2035 data are only slightly better than what they are now. In terms of automotive safety, there would be little change from the current intersection, which has the potential for T-bone crashes. There also wouldnt be much improvement for pedestrians. Rebuilding a signalized intersection would result in the loss of some buildings in the area, as well as potential impacts to many properties Paired one-ways The paired one-way along both streets. Exact impacts wont be known street option likely would until more engineering and use Main Street as the southbound street and survey work is done. Franklin Street as the Roundabout northbound street. Where The roundabout option the streets would split is could have two lanes going still undetermined, but it through the intersection. Less storage space for vehicles waiting to pass

would likely be at Railroad Street to the south and somewhere between Harriet Street and Silent Street to the north. This option would produce the least amount of traffic delays but does create some access concerns. A one-way pair would have improved safety since there would be less traffic on the street. There are fewer ways that cars interact with pedestrians, so there could be some pedestrian safety improvements, too. Property owners along the roads would have some changes in access, but the right-of-way impact would be less. There would be some impact at the merge and diverge locations. Other drawbacks and benefits exist for each option, and traffic is just one part of the downtown plan. The entire downtown plan involves balancing cost, traffic, access to businesses, aesthetics, safety, parking, future development and more. Committee members, city staff and consultants are still weighing the options, and the public will have a chance review the alternatives and give feedback at a meeting in May. Staff and the steering committee will also be reviewing parking needs, pedestrian and bike accommodations and evaluating potential redevelopment areas in the coming months. Theyll also work to identify funding sources some of which might be tied to road construction plans. In addition to the May public meeting, a July public meeting is also planned. A public hearing and potential adoption of the plan is scheduled for August and September.

Letters to the editor

Thank you to outgoing Verona alders

Sadly partisan politics has taken a toll on four incumbents in the recent elections in Verona. These local elections are not about political affiliations but rather the quality of life and the levels of service we as residents enjoy in this city. All of our political leaders have their beliefs ideas and differences and that is good. When it came to the City of Verona and how to govern during very difficult fiscal times, all of our alders excelled. This city was and is one of the few in Wisconsin that was in excellent financial health before the economy went south, for that we owe all of our leaders a big thank you! Their visions werent for their own political agendas but rather the good of Verona and all of the residents. We continue to enjoy a great place to live and work because of their vision. About the only thing left undone during their tenure was the consolidation of the city and town of Verona into one. These four were part of the continued progressive vision the city of Verona has enjoyed for many years. I hope our new alders will develop the same sense of community that these four have developed during their tenure and continue to work toward a unified Verona, a Verona with a vision for the future while preserving our past! Thanks for a job well done! Gordon Disch City of Verona

In the 2013 Spring sports guide, the Verona Area High School girls soccer was said to be bringing back Carly Juzwik as a goalie this season, but she has chosen not to rejoin the team. Contrary to online rosters, senior Sarah Schoeberle will be the starter at goalie this season. The Press regrets the error. The Verona Press does not sweep errors under the rug.

Dont let emotions get in the way of governing O

ver the past three weeks, Ive been teaching myself to play guitar. Im a determined student and have been picking it up quickly, but there are still a lot of sloppy chord changes and cringeworthy notes while Im learning. Thats just how it works. Theres a lot to learn, a lot to practice. We can expect the same from our new city government, which split in half April 2, Ferolie when four new alders were elected in a stunning takeover of what current alders considered a smoothly functioning Common Council. It will be anything but smooth for a while. In less than a week since the inaugurations, we already saw a bitter battle break out over something that would have been unthinkable in the several years prior a single appointment to a commission. Given the current state of politics and the circumstances surrounding this years election, you can bet there will be other deadlocks in the future. Petulance, condescension and stubbornness were all words that came to mind as I watched that ugliness unfold Monday night. The result was completely predictable, but the way it got there was so over the top, its left me wondering what its going to take to get these people to take a deep breath and realize that theyre stuck with each other for at least a year and probably more. The problem clearly runs both ways. On one side, you have a confident, mostly united group of newcomers that senses its power and is willing to shed a little blood to stake out a position. On the other, theres clearly bitterness and maybe even anger that hasnt subsided, all of it clouding a lot of useful institutional knowledge. Former Verona Press editor Karl Curtis has seen and heard much of the same things I have, and it reminded him of the wild years of 1998-2002, when the unfettered growth around here led to some fights in the Verona Area School District and consequently, some contested elections and bitterness on the board. It made for what I like to call great TV. Those are fun days in many ways for journalists, who can count on their regular gathering of people with widely varying opinions to bring out some tasty tidbits as they debate even the most mundane things. It can also be exhausting, particularly if theres fighting among elected officials because of some prior issue or personal feelings, rather than whats in front of them. I like a good fight every so often, even the dumb ones, but I prefer such entertainment reserved for special occasions. The Big Box Debate of 2006-08. The Great Apartment Uprising of 2011. The Consolidation Situation (pick any of several times it has come up). These are good reasons for figurative fisticuffs. Unfortunately, we havent had a good start in this new era. What could have been a nice, worthwhile debate about planning this week degenerated into insults and yelling when two of the three nominees for Plan Commission, Alds. Jeremy Charles and Dale Yurs, couldnt bite their tongues and had to one-up each others rhetoric. It seemed that each thought they could browbeat the alders who had voted against them into changing their mind. Really, guys, you should know better. Impassioned speeches, rivalry, competition, challenges, arguments these are all good things in moderation, and we can stand more than weve had in the past few years. What we dont need is disdain and disrespect, and we have had far too much of that already. When it goes too far and Ive heard enough public and private comments in that vein to concern me you get either

the cold shoulders and refusal to work together that we see in our state government or the ugly horse trading we see in the U.S. Senate. Neither of those bodies is representing their constituents well. And the reason is too many people on both sides of the aisle are scared to lose their seats instead of simply serving until their service is no longer requested. The four alders who lost were not casualties. The four who werent up for election should not circle the wagons for them or mourn them, as theyve been doing for weeks. Instead, they should be teaching the new alders how everything works so arguments can be about policy, not procedure. And the new alders should be learning and asking questions constantly, not just nodding along with things they dont yet fully understand and treating the returning incumbents as automatic adversaries. If the new alders want to make the point that a fresh perspective is needed because the same old methods arent working, go ahead and make that point. You want to talk values, please do so. But dont pretend the three months youve been chatting with constituents has given you a full understanding of the delicate balancing act the council faces all the time. If the returning alders want to preach efficiency, its a valid point, but they have to recognize the very nature of the public process breeds disagreement and inefficiency; otherwise you have a well-oiled dictatorship. New alders should take a deep breath and not try to rush the creation of their new world order, and returning alders need to get over the breakup of their band. Then we can all sit back and enjoy what promises to be a very interesting year. Jim Ferolie is the editor of the Verona Press and Unified Newspaper Group and has covered Verona city politics since 2006.

John and Marianne Volker hold up The Gordon School Quilt, which they have kept at their house for the past few months. The quilt, originally a fund-raiser for victims of a 1928 tornado, has been on display at the Verona Senior Center and Verona City Center, and this weekend it will be at the county historical societys open house.

Quilt at open house for county historical society

Veronas Gordon School Quilt will be on display this weekend in Madison for the annual Dane County Historical Society open house. The quilt, which had been hanging at Verona City Center recently and the Verona Senior Center last year, was created in 1928 by parents at the oneroom Gordon School on the north side of town as part of a relief effort after a tornado ripped through the area and injured students and a teacher at the school. It was displayed at Veronas sesquicentennial in 1997 and sat in storage for most of the past 15 years before Glen Doc and Joan Steusser brought it forward for display on behalf of the Verona Historical Society. The countys open house is from 1-4 p.m. Sunday at the Lussier Family Heritage Center, 3101 Lake Farm Road. For information on the quilt, call Marianne Volker at 845-7887.

Please donate owers, vegetable plants, small bushes and split plants from your garden.
Donated plants must arrive by Friday, May 3 at noon in planters. Please label each variety. Questions? Contact Kate at kmayefske@heritageal.com

Guest speaker to focus on advanced students

An expert on how to teach and raise kids who are academically gifted will give a presentation Thursday, May 2, at the Verona Area High School Performing Arts Center. The districts talents and passions committee, which has spent more than two years studying how best to identify and teach gifted kids in Verona, is hosting an interactive workshop with Sue Schaar, coordinator of the Madison Metropolitan School Districts talented-and-gifted program. The event runs from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. Admission is free. Schaar gave a similar talk in February but attendance was limited due to bad weather. Next weeks workshop will build off the earlier event, and anyone can attend. The workshop will focus on the interplay between cognitive, social, and emotional factors for advanced learners in grades 5-9, according to a news release. Schaar will also focus on how to keep students social and emotional wellbeing in mind. Schaar holds a doctorate in education of the gifted from Columbia University and a second masters degree in marriage and family therapy. She has been a teacher in public and private schools and is a professor emerita from California State University. Seth Jovaag

Calling Out Evil

The philosopher who composed Ecclesiastes advises us Do not be over righteous, neither be over wise, why destroy yourself? (Ecclesiastes 7:16) Accusing others of wrongdoing, especially when there is any chance that we might be mistaken, is almost always folly, and we are likely to have the lens of criticism focused on us as a result. But, there are times when it is appropriate to be assertive in calling someone out. When someone is mistreating us our moral alarm bells are usually loud and clear and we should speak up about it. It may take courage to do so, but it usually prevents a lot of future mistreatment. Its even more important to stand up to bullies and haters when they are picking on someone who is weaker or too timid to stand up for him or herself. Students at Ohio State University and the University of Nebraska recently created web sites intended to call out people who posted racist, sexist, or otherwise hateful comments on Twitter and other social media web sites. Courage is central to the moral life because it requires courage to speak up for what is right. But, we should remember also to be circumspect about our criticism. It is often easier to see the speck of dust in your neighbors eye than the log in your own. Stop judging by mere appearances, and make a right judgment. John 7:24

Verona helps out

A workshop to make cards and quilts for American troops held in Verona earlier this month brought out around 70 volunteers. Organized by former Verona resident Mary K. Bishop, the event was packed, she said in a letter to the editor to the Press. The project was for Mary K. and husband Rusty Bishops son, Lt. Will Bishop and his soldiers, who are stationed in Afghanistan. Will was a 2007 graduate of Verona Area High School.The grassroots effort had participation from the Verona lacrosse team, American Legion and Verona family and friends, Bishop said. After the success, Bishop plans to have a similar event next year.

Teresa Wergedal said she has always been a tanner. Her friend Jennifer Stelzer has always had an interest in the industry. So it makes sense that pair would go into the tanning business. They spent the last year running a mobile spray tan operation, traveling to homes and to parties to give people a tan that comes from a bottle. The pair has now taken their business from the road to a Verona storefront. Flawless Tan Mobile opened April 10 at 1051 North Edge Trail. We decided to do everything, Stelzer said of the friends first brick and mortar business. Flawless Tan Mobile still goes on the road, but it also has services for people who want to come to them. The 1,400-square-foot business houses tanning beds, spaces for either general spray tanning or custom spray tanning and even teeth whitening. That last service, where LED light is used to whiten teeth, is unique among tanning salons, the pair said. It originated with the Womens Business

Thats definitely something outside the box.

Friends Jennifer Stelzer, left, and Teresa Wergedal operated a mobile spray tan operation before opening their first brick and mortar business earlier this month. The reception so far has been warm for one of Veronas newest businesses.

Expo in Madison, where the friends had their mobile tanning booth next to a woman who ran a teethwhitening operation. They found that service complementary with theirs. Thats definitely something outside the box, Stelzer said. The storefront had been in the planning stages for months. After building a clientele from their mobile

spray tan operation, the two friends had researched where they wanted to physically set up shop. Stelzer lives in the area. Additionally, they saw a need for a tanning salon here. We definitely dove in head first, Wergedal said. They were drawn to the location at North Edge Trail because of the space offered by the location, its proximity to the high

school and its parking accommodations. Although only open for a few weeks, so far the reception has been good for Flawless Tan Mobile, the two co-owners said. The business has a website and a Facebook page. The friends said they are learning how important word of mouth is. Still, they are excited about the opportunity. Love being a business owner, Stelzer said. The hard work has definitely been worth it, Wergedal said.

Nesbitt Anytime Fitness gets upgrades, plans remodel

After major upgrades to equipment at the Anytime Fitness on Nesbitt Road, general manager Matt Breunig said the club will see a remodel in early summer. Staff at the 6250 Nesbitt Breunig Road club plan to add another bathroom, trainers office and expand the free-weight area. Theyre also changing the layout of the gym and repainting the interior with a vibrant new color, said membership director Shane Wagner. While details of the remodel are still in the works, new machines with touch-screen capabilities top the list of upgrades at Anytime this winter. The club had about $100,000 in upgrades including new equipment and new programs, which is about a sixth of the money spent on an overhaul of upgrades to Madison-area Anytime Fitness gyms, Breunig said. The new equipment will

help the club stay competitive, said Breunig, whos been at the Nesbitt location for about a year and with Anytime since February 2010. With all the competition in the area no one has the touch screen cardio equipment like we do now, he added. That competition, just in Fitchburg includes Golds Gym, Pinnacle Health and Fitness and even another Anytime located off Fish Hatchery Road. About 40 machines were replaced and 10 are new. New machines include a rowing machine, open stride machines, new bicycles with virtual courses and suspension training, which are about 5-foot straps suspended from above with handles to do abdominal, leg and arm exercises. The club also got new virtual group fitness classes for its group fitness room. In addition, they offer unlimited workout programming so members can setup a workout plan with nutrition and supplement assistance. For more information, call 270-9500.

But in March, Kant received the surprise honor of representing Verona June 14 at the Just-a-Game Fieldhouse in the Wisconsin Dells.

I am really honored and really excited to play with these girls because they are all super good athletes, and they will make it fun.

Senior Shannon Kant was surprised to hear she was selected to be on the Division 1 Wisconsin Basketball Coaches Association Girls Basketball All-Star game in March. The game is June 14 at the Justa-Game Fieldhouse in the Wisconsin Dells.

Forced to work on its hitting indoors per haps more than usual this spring, the Verona softball team was able to get in a doubleheader Saturday at Firefighters Memorial Park in Middleton. They marked just the second and third game for the Wildcats so far this season. Already forced to postpone 11 games so far this season, including conference games against Madison Memorial and Janesville Craig last Thursday and Friday, the Wildcats have at least put their time indoors to good use. Case in point, Bailey Buisker, who reached base in all eight of her plate appearances, including a solo home run in the top of the seventh which pushed Verona to a 6-3 victory in the first game over the Cardinals. Watching Middleton cut the deficit to 5-3 off a double, walk and throwing error in the home half of the sixth, Buisker took the momentum from Middleton with one swing of her bat. Waiting to lead off the inning, Buisker who was already 3-for-3 with an RBI single for the game, could only shake her head in the disbelieving way teenagers look at their parents when her father suggested she hit a home run.

Argall, Cats stomp the competition

Verona boys tennis was able to gain some momentum last week despite less than ideal weather conditions, picking up five more victories. The Wildcats played through an April snowstorm, a high temperature of 35 degrees, 20 mph winds and a test of Madison tornado sirens all in one match at last weekends East Side Invite. Hosted by Madison East High School, Verona finished 4-0 over two days, including a 6-1 win over Stoughton, which saw players hitting in weather more typical of a fall football game. The Wildcats lone loss came at 1 doubles where Stoughton seniors John Evans and Bubba Shaffer defeated Veronas Elliot Shad and Nolan Fink 6-3, 6-2. Verona added 7-0 wins over Oconomowoc, Monona Grove and Oregon in a dual with WIAA post-season seeding implications Saturday. Seniors Andrew Argall, Brian Davenport, junior Philip Rudnitzky and freshman Alex Pletta all went undefeated over the weekend, sweeping No. 1 through 4 singles. Seniors Alex Hadjiev and Austin Gerdes also took all four of their matches at No. 2 doubles, while Shad and Fink finished 3-1. Although head coach Rick Engen changed his No. 3 doubles team for every match, the Wildcats combined for another four wins at the final flight. The Wildcats saw Oregons Dakota Tollakson force a third set at No. 3 singles before Veronas Philip Rudnitzky closed out the match. Verona was just a little better at each spot, Oregon head coach Ben Conklin said. Veronas No. 3 doubles team of Jackson Hutchcroft and Matt Blessing held off Drew Christofferson and Jackson Wilhelm, 7-5, 7-6 (7). Argall and Davenport rolled at No. 1 and 2 singles. Pletta was tested by Brady Behrend, but held on to gut out a 6-4, 6-2 victory at No. 4 singles.

East Side Invite

presented Verona with little challenge Tuesday as the Wildcats rolled out the red carpet and then a 7-0 sweep. Argall and Davenport put away overmatched opponents quickly, rolling 6-1, 6-1 at No. 1 and 2 singles. Rudnitzky and Pletta added a 6-3, 6-0 and 6-2, 6-1 win at 3 and 4 singles, respectively. Schad and Fink led and almost equally impressive string of matches on the doubles side, rolling 6-0, 6-1 at 1 doubles. Blessing and Hutchcroft, 6-1, 6-3, and Tanner Breisch and Johnny Yan, 6-3, 6-2, closed things out with wins at No. 2 and 3 doubles.

The Wildcats shot a 304 to edge Memorial (306) and Janesville Craig (336) at Odana Hills Golf Course. Senior Tyler Reinecke led the charge with a 71, while senior Caleb Baltes followed with a 77. Senior Matt Feller also shot a 77, and junior Riley Schmitz finished the scoring with a 79. We expected to beat Janesville Craig, but it is big to beat Madison Memorial, head coach Jon Rebholz said. They began the week ranked No. 1 in the state, and Verona wasnt ranked at all. It was nice to see those three seniors be a real steady group to lead us. Reineckes score equaled the 77 of

Memorials top golfer Peter Webb. Brett Oberg (78), Kellen Rice (78) and Jake OLoughlin (79) finished the scoring for the Spartans. Craigs scorers were Jordan Gagg (76), Nolan Moran (79), Tad Martin (87) and Troy Lipker (94). This wasnt the first time the Wildcats performed well at Odana Hills, shooting below a 310 last year, as well. Rebholz said that the course is pretty straight forward and a lot of the area golfers are familiar with it, including Veronas squad. The Wildcats hosted Janesville Parker and Madison La Follette Wednesday, but the match was after the Verona Press Tuesday deadline. They travel to Sun Prairie Country Club at 2:30 p.m. Friday to take on Sun Prairie and Madison West. Verona also travels to the Meadows of Sixmile Creek at 10:30 a.m. Saturday for the Waunakee Invitational and to Geneva National Country Club at 9 a.m. Monday for the Lake Geneva Badger Invitational. The Wildcats close the week at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 1, at Krueger Haskell Golf Course in Beloit to take on Beloit Memorial and Middleton.

Matt Dietlin and Matt Zingler led a sweep of the top three spots in five of six field events Tuesday as the Verona boys track and field team powered past Madison West behind the strength its field events, 86-60. We looked really good in a number of events, especially in the field events, head coach Joff Pedretti said. West was a stronger team than Parker and really pushed us at some spots. Despite temperatures in the mid 40s to start the meet, Dietlin was able to tie his PR in the pole vault, clearing 13 feet while leading a 1-2-3 sweep. He attempted a school-record 13-7 but was unable to make the height. High jump was much the same for Dietlin who bumped up to 6-4 to lead another clean sweep. Competitng at the newly renovated Curtis Jones Stadium, Zingler helped Verona secure the long jump (19-4 1/2) and triple jumps (39-11) with a pair of PRs. Adam Stiner paced the Wildcats throwers, leading a sweep in the shot put with a heave of 43-8. The only spot in the top three of the six field events Verona was unable to capture was first place in the discus. Junior Steven Hartnett dominated in both the 110 high (:15.65) and 300-intermediate hurdles (:44.33). The

Sophomore Hannah Miller ran to victory in the 400-meter with ease Tuesday, posting a meet-best time of 1 minute, 3.37 seconds.

Wildcats took the top two spots in both events. Sophomore sprinter Cameron Tindall also had a big night, taking the 100-meter dash in :10.92 before anchoring the 4x200 relay of Cameron Parks, Luke Lamberson and Collin Griffin to victory in 1:39.08. Josh Beckam joined Parks, Lamberson and Tindall to close things out in the 4x100 (:46.94).

Call it a change of heart, but four years ago becoming a collegiate swimmer was the furthest thing from the mind of a then freshman Emily Tiedemann. I actually didnt want to swim after high school during my freshman year, Tiedemann said. Never. Never. Never. I thought once I am done with high school, Im going to be done. That was until she could she the finish line of her prep career quickly approaching as an upperclassmen a path that ultimately led the senior to sign her National Letter of Intent last Wednesday to pursue swimming at St. Cloud State this fall. Knowing that graduation was coming up, I decided I just couldnt stop swimming because I loved it too much, she said. I cant imagine my life without swimming in college and all the great friends that I have. I automatically have like 60 best friends on the teams. Tiedemann picked the Huskies over DI opportunities from the University of Nebraska and Boston University, as well as offers from Mankato State University and Marymount University (Arlington, VA). I was not expecting to have so many colleges wanting me to swim there, but it felt great, Tiedemann said. St. Cloud won out in the end in part because of the bond she quickly formed with coaches and teammates. But that wasnt the only reason. I felt like DI is just swimming, swimming, swimming really intense, she said. DII will still be intense, but I think it was the perfect fit for me because I want to have the chance to possibly go to Nationals. Tiedemann, who plans to major in biology before possibly going on to medical school, also chose St. Cloud for academic reasons.

Verona senior Emily Tiedemann signed her National Letter of Intent with her parents, Wildcats head coach Halley Johnson and friends looks looking on last Wednesday. Tiedemann (below center) will swim at Division II St. Cloud (Minn.) State this fall.

They have a really good biology program there and its also really close to the Mayo Clinic (in Rochester), so there could also be an opportunity to have an internship there, she said. Academics are certainly important to the Huskies coaching staff; the St. Cloud State mens and womens swimming and diving squads were honored on the fall semester College Swimming Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) Scholar All America Team. Ten women recorded GPAs in the 3.754.0 range, with four of those individuals posting solid 4.0s. Tiedemman became the first scholarship swimmer the past two seasons under head coach Halley Johnson.

Emilys been a huge rock for us, Johnson said. Shes always calm and composed. Shes able to just to set aside everything else and come into the pool and swim. Shes a leader in everything she does. Despite entering a program that clinched the Northern Sun Interscholastic Conference Championship title a year ago, Tiedemann said she has high expectations for her freshman season. I hope to contribute right away and score points for the team, she said. Ive been looking at the times and I think I can be pretty high up there in meets. Tiedemann has certainly shown she is up for a challenge over her four seasons at Verona.

Kant, who plans to attend the University of Wisconsin- Madison next fall, decided not to pursue basketball in college after thinking about her future plans. So the all-star game will be the end of Kants high school career and possibly of competitive basketball. But she said she enjoyed every minute of her time on the court.

Following in the footsteps of VAHS state champion backstroker Amie Osten, Tiedemann finished 10th overall at the WIAA Division 1 state swimming meet as a freshman in 2009, nearly breaking Ostens then school record (:58.06). The Wildcats top backstroker for a season, Verona suddenly dominated the event with the addition of Maddy and then younger sister Beata Nelson. It all helped put Tiedemann well ahead of St. Clouds 100 backstroke recruiting standard of 1:00.9, though the NCAA qualifying standard of :55 is still a ways off. Besides the 100 and 200 backstroke, her versatility could also help the Huskies out in the 200 IM. I think Emily is a really well-rounded swimmer, Johnson said. Shes got the leadership, the team aspect, shes got the individual and shes also a really strong swimmer. I think a lot of those teams that were looking at her saw that and what she could bring to them. Emily choosing St. Cloud, she did it because its the exact same as her: its well-rounded, it develops really good leaders and shes going to be able to focus on her studies.

Softball: Getting games in continues to be a struggle for undefeated Wildcats

Continued from page 11 acknowledged after the game that she had never hit a ball out of the park, Buisker left no doubt this time, turning on an Ashley Stormer fastball. I knew it as soon as I hit it, she said. It felt pretty good. Buisker knocked in two more runs in the nightcap, driving shots to the wall twice, the last of which led her to being thrown out digging for second base in the fourth inning of a 9-4 victory. We knew wed get the ball in play today, Verona head coach Todd Anderson said. Although it was only four days ago that we faced La Follette and (Nicole) Newman, it almost felt like a first game again. Center fielder Leslie Banzhaf highlighted the second game for Verona. Despite initially taking center field with her helmet in her hand and no glove to start the fifth inning, Banzhaf cut Kelli Robson down at home plate before belting a one-out home run over the left-field fence for an 8-0 lead. Ive done it before with my helmet on, Banzhaf joked about her equipment mix-up. I knew when I fielded the ball that their runner wasnt very far off third, so I knew I could get her at the plate. Though junior Kelly Brown started the second game in the circle, Verona chased her after two innings in favor of Stormer, something which Banzhaf was happy to see. I had my timing down against her from the first game, she said. I got a fastball right down the middle and just got a good bat on it. Senior Emma Ray went the distance in both games, combining to strike out 15. She allowed seven hits and two walks in the first game and five hits and a walk in the nightcap. Despite sweeping the Cardinals, Anderson said, We definitely still have some things to correct. Having only been outside maybe four times this season to practice, were still learning to be more aggressive attacking ground balls and what to do in certain situations.

With nearly 30 games already postponed between baseball and softball, athletic directors from the Big Eight were scheduled to meet Wednesday to discus a single-elimination round robin tournament to determine this seasons conference champions. If approved, both games would count toward a teams final record, but only the first game (even if a second game has been played) would count toward a teams conference record.

Track: Wildcats show depth against West

Continued from page 12 The Wildcats again showed their depth by taking three of four relays. Verona junior Aylise Grossenbacher-McGlammery, freshman Allison Hieptas, juniors Karen Wong and Jenni LaCroix opened the evening with a first-place time of 10:48.9 in the 3200 relay. LaCroix helped the Wildcats to a second straight relay win shortly after, joining senior Katy Miller, junior Lexy Richardson and freshman Kylie Schmaltz to take the 4x200 in 1:50.03. Sophomore Shannon Kerrigan, senior Jamie Hintz, sophomore Hannah Semmann and freshman Lexi Alt gave the Wildcats the 4x100 in :55.03. Sophomore Hannah Miller (1:03.37) and LaCroix (:26.71) added the 400- and 200-meter dash titles. Senior cross country skier Nichole Bathe looked right at home on the frigid evening, racing to a first-place time of 5:40 in the mile. The water that partially submerged lane one signified just how much water fell over Monterey Stadium last Friday, leading to the cancellation of the girls track teams invitational at Janesville Parker. Both the Wildcats boys and girls JV teams will compete at their conference meet at 4:30 p.m. Thursday in Verona. The varsity teams meanwhile head to Lake Geneva Badger High School at 4 p.m. Friday for an invitational. Big Eight rival Madison Memorial travels to Verona at 4:45 p.m. next Tuesday for another conference dual meet.

Soccer: Verona drops two at tourney

Continued from page 12 The kids played with confidence tonight and played well as a team, she said. They are starting to gel. Sophomore forward Felicia Retrum put the game away with unassisted goals in the 23rd and 48th minutes. She also assisted sophomore forward Ari Makuch in the 17th minute. Freshman midfielder MaKenna McGilvray finished the scoring with a goal from junior defender Becky Schultz in the 51st minute. Senior goalie Sarah Schoeberle finished with three saves, while Mount Horebs Ashlee Beauchamp picked up four. Verona travels to Madison Memorial at 7 p.m. Thursday. The Wildcats then host Sun Prairie Monday and Middleton Tuesday. Both home games are at 5 p.m. and Eau Claire Memorial Friday and Saturday, respectively. Neither game went the way of the Wildcats with a 2-1 loss Friday against Milwaukee Pius XI and a 4-0 loss at Eau Claire Memorial Saturday. Against Pius, Retrum tied the game at the 72nd minute, but Pius scored two minutes later and held on. The Old Abes, which finished the 2012 season 24-1-2 and qualified for state, were not any easier on Verona. Nicole Rauckman and Meg Van de Loo led a charge that Verona could not overcome. Rauckman scored twice, while Van de Loo scored a goal and added three assists. Katelyn Sladten scored the other goal for Eau Claire. Faulkner said it was tough going up against a big, strong team like the Old Abes. They are a very tough competitor, she said. They dictated the play in the game. We were not able to handle that duo of Rauckman and Van De Loo. They really took it to us. It was an eye opener for our girls. I think we will better prepared next time when we see competition like that.

Verona History
February
40 years ago The county narrowed its choices for a landfill to two both in Verona. Its top choice at the time was at the corner of County Highways M and PB, at what is now the dog park, but it eventually settled on its other site, east of the Dane County Home (now known as Badger Prairie Health Care Center). That immediately set off a series of meetings with the town and city to discuss the pros and cons of the landfill which the county insisted was different from a dump. Several residents were upset with the possibility of putting something ugly next to the terminal moraine, and the town officially opposed the PB site. The village opposed both sites, and nearly 700 people signed a petition against it. The landfill was built anyway and has since been covered. Atop it now sits an aeromodeling field. The city began taking bids for a new 300,000-gallon, 150-foot-tall water tower, located next to the existing 50,000-gallon tower on West Verona Avenue and entering service in 1974. It was estimated to be enough to serve the city until 1990. The old one was soon dismantled, and the city has since built two others and is working on an underground reservoir. Local groups launched a new organization, the Verona Community Club, to run annual promotion programs for the community, including what would eventually become Hometown Days. The group started with $2,000 in seed money from the Quasquicentennial Corporation which had launched the huge 1972 commemoration of the towns 1847 founding. After a couple of name changes, Verona Community Betterment disbanded in 2011. The county rejected a proposed town development between Whalen and Grandview roads east of County Highway PB because it would have been inconsistent with the villages plan, which designated it as agricultural. The youths had about $10,000 worth of electronics in their possession, which police had difficulty sorting through and returning them to their rightful owners. The effort was a collaborative effort with police from surrounding communities.

Resident hosts make-a-blanket day

Resident Nancy Peterson will host a community event to make blankets for children at the University of Wisconsins Childrens Hospital. The April 27 event, deemed Make-a-blanket day, is through a local chapter of a national nonprofit organization called Project Linus that donates blankets to sick children. Last year, Peterson had a similar event for family and friends, but recognized the continuous need and wanted to include the community this time. Shes set a goal of donating 100 blankets. Peterson witnessed first hand how the blankets can benefit children years ago when her granddaughter, Kalise, was in the hospital after a traumatic event. This flu season has been a busy one with lots of sick kids at the hospital, and I cant begin to explain how much these kids love their blankets and how the families appreciate them, Peterson said. Project Linus needs around 500 blankets per month to keep up with the demand, Peterson noted. At the event, which goes from noon to 4 p.m. at the Verona Fire Station, 101 Lincoln St., people will be making fleece tie blankets. If community members would like to donate a new hand-madeblanket or fabric they can drop if off at the Verona Fire Station the

International flair
While Country View Elementary Schools International Night was going on in Verona, Stoner Prairie was holding its Cultural Arts Night in Fitchburg. Both featured food and performances showing off a variety of cultures and ethnic traditions. At Stoner Prairie, local resident Pat OBrien sang traditional Irish songs, the Trinity Irish Dancers gave a performance and a lesson in Irish dance, while some students did their own performances. At Core Knowledge, each grade level was assigned a nation and students brought meals reflecting the nation their class studied, then each grade sang and danced pieces from those countries.

Stalemate: After shouting, ordinance change is suggested

Continued from page 1 established in the ordinance. That could happen no sooner than May 27, then, unless a special meeting is called. Burns and Mayor Jon Hochkammer confirmed that no action could or would be taken to set the stage for the May 13 council meeting such as submitting a potential ordinance change for review. In any case, after Mondays eventual 6-2 vote to defer action, there will be no council representative in time for the May Plan Commission meeting. Its uncertain what would need to change to break the deadlock. All of us here want the best thing for Verona, Ald. Dale Yurs (Dist. 2) pleaded after being nominated twice unsuccessfully for the position Monday. Yurs had also been nominated the previous Tuesday at the annual reorganization meeting, though that was true of six of the seven alders present that day. During that meeting, the new council had no trouble re-electing Mac McGilvray (Dist. 1) as council president or accepting any of the 15 nominations to standing committees, but it went through four separate 4-3 votes when the Plan Commission appointment came up. On Monday, Ald. Brad Stiner (D-3) joined what Yurs referred to as the voting bloc of four new members in both of the votes Yurs first against Ald. Scott Manley (D-2), then against Ald. Jeremy Charles (D-4). But it wasnt enough, and alders attempted to assess the problem after the two votes. Yurs spoke for his supporters in complaining that the council has seemed to ignore the downtown while continuing to expand its borders. That riled Charles, a former commissioner and comprehensive plan committee member, who spoke for six straight minutes, first calmly explaining how the council has been successfully promoting quality businesses that take ownership in their community and then getting more and more loud and argumentative as he described the resistance that is put up whenever real changes downtown are suggested. Do you know how much objection you get from the business community

Jeremy Charles begins raising his voice while explaining what he thinks the new council members dont realize about the difficulties of serving on the commission.

downtown if you even mention getting rid of parking there? he said. This agenda for the downtown steering committee (last week) is basically a rehash of every discussion Ive been a part of for the past four or five years, OK? Its not that nobodys been considering the downtown weve had a hard time coming up with options that people can agree about. By the time Charles had finished, he had pounded the table four times and had begun to scold the new alders. The fact that none of the four of you has been involved in any of this in the last five years and wants to tell me the voters told you what to do, Ive been in the middle this entire time, OK? he said. Its reality check time, here, folks. Charles who had referred to big politics coming from Madison in a couple of his blog posts while observing the elections, then took a swipe at their campaigns and County Board Sup. Erika Hotchkiss, claiming they were funded and organized by the same person and again calling out their lack of experience. And Yurs, sitting right next to him, didnt take it well. I am flabbergasted at the amount of condescension sent here, he said. This is absurd.

At that, Ald. Luke Diaz (D-3) immediately asked for the discussion to be deferred to the next meeting, but Ald. Heather Reekie (D-4) broke in to ask about the possibility of having two council reps. Manley followed up with some questions about whether that could cause any issues with quorums for the five three-person standing committees, ignoring the fact that he himself had served on the commission for several months with Ritt while both were alders. Nothing in state statutes prevents the council from appointing a second alder to the commission, but the citys ordinances call for just one, and it would require the removal of an existing member or the revocation of an appointment made April 16. The commission is responsible for ensuring orderly growth and development and has the power to approve some buildings on its own. It also is the primary gatekeeper for changes in zoning, many types of operating permits and annexations, among other things, though the council is not bound to those recommendations. Steve Ritt had filled the role of the councils representative since 2007, before Yurs defeated him in the April 2 election.
