Badger Prairie Needs Network
Growing presence
Food pantry gets in a new groove to meet needs of the community

Samantha Christian
Unified Newspaper Group
Thank-you notes were

written all over a whiteboard during Badger Prairie Needs Networks grand
opening Aug. 23. One had a
simple message scrawled in
the corner: Helping people
it feels good.
No doubt this commitment of neighbors helping
neighbors for nearly 30
years has fueled the volunteer effort to transform
what was formerly known

as Verona Area Needs Network (and the Verona Food
Pantry before that) into
BPNNs comprehensive
support system for those
who can use a helping hand.
Over the past year, the
nonprofit has changed
its name, moved locations, reorganized leadership, served more people,
expanded hours and added
community-based services
in its mission to end hunger
and address the root causes
of generational poverty.
BPNN outgrew the basement of the citys old
library and moved into
the single-story former
administration building at
the Badger Prairie Health
Center complex at 1200 E.
Verona Ave. with accessibility in mind.
Everything about the new
building and location points
to this mission.
Its across the street from
a bus stop for those using
public transportation, and it
is also a short distance from

the Badger Prairie Community Garden, where BPNN
and some of its patrons now
grow plots of fresh food.

Freshmen: Mixing grade levels would also increase collaboration betweeen staff members
Continued from page 1
grades 9 and 10, and a
group of teachers in presenting a plan to the board
to integrate the ninthgraders into the main
building in the 2016-17
school year.
While the group didnt
specify what classes or
teachers would move to
the K-Wing in place of the
freshman core class teachers, those who spoke said
the change would solve
more than just the separate communities problem.
The K-Wing currently
houses the Exploration
Academy, the districts
charter high school, a
library and ninth-grade
core classes. The group
of teachers, which mostly
consisted of those who
teach freshman but included a 10th-grade English
teacher who is also the
head of the English department, said it creates challenges for their students in
10th grade, as well, when
they have to transition
again to a new environment.
They speak openly
about how they disliked
being grouped together
in the K-Wing; how they
felt isolated and it didnt
feel good to them, 10thgrade English teacher Jaren
Bailey said. They have,
I would say, a lot more
stress keeping up with 10th
grade.
Increasing their time
around their peers, which
will also happen with
Enrollment above projections

As of 7 a.m. Aug. 31,
the district had four more
students enrolled than it
projected it would for the
2015-16 school year.
Numbers presented
Monday show 5,414 students registered after the
district estimated 5,410.
That includes 68 students
more than expected at
Glacier Edge and 35 less

than expected at Sugar
Creek.
The numbers are not
final, though, and are
likely to change before the
third Friday in September,
when the district will get
its official count to give to
the state to receive funding.
advisory periods in the

new block schedule, could
serve as a chance to offer
more role models for the
younger students as they
look up to the upperclassmen.
A lot of the staff really
saw that having the ninthgraders integrated with
the older kids provided
more of an opportunity
for behavior and modeling
of those upperclassmen,
Buss said. The last few
years weve sort of seen
that middle-school mentality, if you will, sort of
carries over one more year
into the K-Wing.
It would also accomplish
the goal of increased collaboration among staff,
said English teacher Mindy
Grant, who has worked
exclusively in the K-Wing
in her four years at VAHS.
Im still getting to know
staff in the main building,
Im still getting to know
where things are, Grant
said. We have our own
culture down here and
we have our own culture
up here, so some of that
cohesion gets lost.

Bailey echoed the sentiment, and said as a department chair it can be challenging to check in with all
of her teachers, especially
those tucked away in the
other building whom she
never just happens to cross
paths with in the hallways.
The suggested new
arrangement would put
some classes for all grades
in both buildings. The panel presenting the idea said
it was good timing with an
expected high number of
retirements this year that
would lead to classrooms
changing from teacher-toteacher anyway.
Board member Derrell
Connor said the change
seemed like a no-brainer
to him, but board president Dennis Beres pointed
out that somebody will
be in those classrooms
further away from collaboration opportunities.
Board member Joanne
Gauthier expressed concerns about security, with
more transitions between
the buildings, and she
but board president Dennis

Beres said it instead would
likely come at the Sept. 14
meeting.
The last few years weve sort of seen

that middle-school mentality, if you will,
sort of carries over one more year into the
K-Wing.
Social media use
Pheng Lee, VAHS associate principal
also wondered who would

move down there, but the
teachers said they wanted
to hear ideas from the main
building staff before giving
specifics to the board.
The board gave the group
its blessing to go ahead
with presenting the idea to
the main building staff and
conducting a survey to get
their support. Lee said the
change is about changing
the schools culture.
We want to be one community, Lee said.
VAEA agreements
The board approved a
new base wage structure
with employees in the
Verona Area Education
Association Monday. The
VAEA voted unanimously
in favor of the new structure Friday, Aug. 28.
The new structure was
created by a committee of
teachers and administrators
that met over the last year to
create a sustainable model that also allowed teachers
to better understand what
their salary would do over a
longer period of time based
on professional development and years of service.
Raises for years accrued
are now dollar amounts
instead of percentage
changes. The amount

depends on what level of
certification a teacher has.
Director of human
resources Jason Olson
pointed out that VASD has
the highest starting salary
for teachers in Dane County
at $41,500.
The board also approved
a change in the retirement
notice date to Jan. 15. In
the past, it was March 15,
but administrators expect a
large number of retirements
this year because of changes to the benefits structure
after June 30, 2016, and
want more time to fill the
vacancies. The change will
be in place in future years,
as well.
Framework delay
Board member Renee
Zook was absent Monday,
so the board did not discuss a proposal to centralize district goals and philosophies. Zook is one of
two board members on the
committee that has helped
developed the draft proposal.
A vote on the idea,
referred to as a framework for decision-making, was expected Monday
The board approved the

social media use guidelines it discussed at length
at its Aug. 17 meeting. The
guidelines outline acceptable use of school Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts and explain
how schools and the district
can use the pages.
The policies were
approved unanimously with
Zook absent.
Staffing policies
The board heard first
readings of potential changes to policies including nepotism, staff development
opportunities and criminal
background checks.
The most significant
changes were to the criminal background check policy for hires, which changes
how the district can consider different severities of
crimes when making hiring decisions. The policies
would also change what
crimes a staff member is
required to report to the district.
The board is expected to
vote on the changes at its
Sept. 14 meeting, though
some board members questioned how often background checks should be
done and how to determine
who would have them done.

programs.
The guidelines, which
began effective July 1, outline what income levels for
different family sizes make
a student eligible for a free
or reduced-price lunch and
breakfast.
For a household of four,
an income of $31,525 or less
makes a student eligible for
free school meals, according to a news release from
the Wisconsin Department

Dont let sexual secularism

obscure the value of faith
uring my devotional time

this week, I came across
an interesting term that
attempts to describe our current cultural context: Sexual
Secularism.
The author, Dr. Owen Strachan-Professor of theology at
the Southern Baptist Theological
Seminary, defines sexual secularism as the enshrinement of
same-sex marriage, transgender
identity and polyamorous practices that lead
to progress, liberty and equality. He equates
this cultural
shift to other
monumental
movements
such as the
Peters
Enlightenment
(intellectual
curiosity circa
17th century) and the First Great
Awakening (evangelical movement circa 18th century).
You might be saying: Oh
boy, here we go again. Another
mainline conservative pastor
telling us about Gods condemnation of any sexual idea
that goes outside the bounds of
marriage between a man and a
woman. Fair enough, but hang
with me just for a bit.
The reason I find this term so
interesting is it seems to strike
right at a revolution going on in
our country right now. Sexual
topics absolutely dominate our
culture, politics, churches,
schools and the formation of our
families.
You can look at a recent issue
of the Verona Press for evidence. There are articles about
a gay soccer tournament, the
working on a policy to accommodate transgender students and
a letter to the editor from Pastor
Dan Kukasky, Jr. defending traditional marriage in response to
a column in support of gay marriage from another pastor.
On a national scale, we have
read about Caitlyn Jenner (the
former Bruce Jenner) garnering
significant media coverage

for her courageous decision to
become a woman, Subways former pitchman Jared Fogle pleading guilty to child pornography
and indecent acts with minors
and, according to a recent
Google report, upwards of 40
percent of all Internet searches
are related to pornography.
Last but not least, the website
Ashley Madison being hacked
and potentially exposing millions of people who have used
the site to find a willing partner
to have an extra-marital affair.
Sexual Secularism, indeed!
Here is a business that promotes the utter destruction of the
nuclear family with the tag line,
Life is short. Have an affair.
And 37 million customers
worldwide have signed up.
To be sure, Christians are not
immune to being participants in
any of the above. We have all
fallen short of the glory of God
and His standard for Coram
Deo living before the face of
God.
I also dont want to imply
that these examples of sexual
secularism are exhaustive or in
any way related to each other.
I personally know gay couples
that live a more committed life
to Jesus than I do in a lot of
ways and a transgender girl who
works at a store that I frequent
who is one of the nicest individuals I have ever met. Why would
I expect anything different?
These are just people, like me,
created in the image of God.
Maybe that is why it is so difficult to overcome the cultural
influences that crowd out the
clear Word of God. How do we
love the sinner but hate the sin
(to use an overused Christian
clich) when the sinner is no
better or worse than a fellow
sinner?
For me, there can be only one
answer and His name is Jesus.
The Apostle Paul said it so succinctly in the book of Romans:
For the wages of sin is death,
but the gift of God is eternal life
in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Rom
6:23). You see, the ground is

level at the Cross of Christ. For
those who would repent of their
sin and turn to Jesus there is
indeed forgiveness and new life,
now, and into eternity.
God also has a warning for
those who try to hide their ways
from Him: God will bring to
light what is hidden in darkness
and will expose the motives of
the heart. (1 Corinthians 4:5).
Those are sobering words
not only from a purely selfish
motive of I got caught, but
acknowledging that God knows
all things whether or not we are
exposed in this life. The Ashley Madison hacking episode
probably has a lot of people
experiencing restless nights
and sweaty palms, as there is
no worse feeling than someone
discovering a secret side of
you that ruins your character or
integrity.
I may seem a little forward in
this column. I realize that many
of you might not have the slightest concern as to what God has
to say because you simply dont
believe in the whole Bible thing.
I hear you. I also realize that
Christians and churches have
often done a terrible injustice to
the faith by saying one thing and
doing another or coming to you
in an attitude of judgement outside of a relationship with you.
But please dont reject Jesus
because of our collective imperfections. He alone is perfect and
loves you infinitely more than
you can imagine. Yes, we live
in a time of sexual secularism
but, as in all of times of human
fallibility, He has overcome the
world for you.
For God, who said, Let light
shine out of darkness, made his
light shine in our hearts to give
us the light of the knowledge
of Gods glory displayed in the
face of Christ. (2 Corinthians
4:6)

The Church in Verona.

Confess Your Sins to Each Other

There is something cathartic about confessing
our sins. The very act of telling others about our
misdeeds and shortcomings seems to relieve much
of the guilt, and we usually get the added benefit of
realizing that we arent alone in our shortcomings.
There is a tendency to think we are the only ones
who have this particular weakness, until we start
talking about it and realize that a lot of our moral
failings are nearly universal. Who has never lied or
taken something which did not belong to them? In
the Epistle of James we are told explicitly to confess
our sins to each other, and this comes in the context
of some general advice about prayer and our duties
to one another. James assures us that the prayer of
the faithful is powerful and says that we should pray
together for the sick and confess our sins to each
other. Just as good medicine heals the body, a good
confession heals the soul.
Christopher Simon, Metro News Service
Therefore confess your sins to each other and
pray for each other so that you may be healed. The
prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.

BPNN: Smarter renovations better utilize donations, accommodate patron increase

with commercial-grade
equipment. Other offices
and conference rooms are
also available for developing partner programs such
as legal assistance, health
screenings and financial
education.
That expanding web of
services is held together by
a common strand: preserving dignity. Even the inside
of the building, with its
brightly colored walls, open
layout and natural light,
was designed around this
mentality.
Rather than trudging
down into the cramped,
dark space at the old food
pantry, patrons are welcomed by volunteers as
they enter BPNN. They are
encouraged to bring their
children along to explore
the new playroom while
they are helped at the registration counter just down
the hall.
Those who need access to
technology can also benefit
from the addition of Wi-Fi
throughout the building,
and computers in the large
community room will be
available during certain
hours for people to update
resumes. That room is
intended to be a gathering
space which can be rented
out for events, meetings or
classes.
Board president Bob
Kasieta said he hopes people notice when walking in
the new building that there
is no us and them, its
only us. BPNN has also
instituted a policy of if

A former Verona Area

The Wisconsin Association of Agricultural Educators chose Kevin Hoffman,
who retired from VAHS
at the end of the 2013-14
school year, as the president
elect at their annual conference June 22-25, according
to a news release.
Hoffman will also serve
an additional three years on
the board of directors with
his election.
The position will require
Hoffman to oversee WAAE
committees, plan and assist
the current president with
his roles and duties. Hoffman will take over the presidents role when WAAE
celebrates its 100th year in
two years at a conference in
Appleton.
Hoffman will also travel and attend numerous
regional and national conferences, according to the
release.

Getting here was a start
but now the work begins
because we have to sustain
this effort, Kasieta said.
Pantry improvements
One of the biggest and
most obvious improvements of the new food pantry is the absence of stairs
and an elevator.
Those fixtures had been
necessary to access the old

basement of a church at

it makes a big difference
to both volunteers and
patrons.
Now the whole building
is on one level and even has
a back entrance for delivery trucks to unload boxes
of food. The food pantry,
which doubled in size and
has wider aisles, has a natural entrance and exit with
restrooms nearby.
There is also a large scale
to weigh incoming and outgoing food and a storage
area behind the walk-in
refrigerators and freezers
to allow the organization to
take advantage of cost-saving bulk food purchases and
food drives.
The pantry orders food

BPNN: Nonprofit partners with on-site social worker, legal clinics and health services
Family focus
The new BPNN building has space for more than
just food. To address the
systemic issues of poverty,
the board is connecting
with well-respected organizations in the area so the
facility becomes a onestop shop for families.

to come in here and say

these new programs when
the programs already exist,

stepped up as of Aug. 2
to be the new food pantry
coordinators, Teri Cobb is
the produce coordinator,
Roxi OBrien is the volunteer coordinator, Marcia
Kasieta is the nutrition center and kitchen coordinator
and Bob Kasieta is the community development center
coordinator.
The Maxwells tackle
a hodgepodge of roles,
including ordering products, getting computers and
databases to work, helping
volunteers, hosting patrons
and attending to building
maintenance. Until they
train more people to help
with shifts, the 74-year-old
couple will be present at
every food pantry opening.
It takes a lot of people to
run this place, Doug Maxwell said. And you cant
anticipate when people are
going to come Its kind
of like running a grocery
store.
He said each shift generally has five volunteers
helping patrons. Each family picks out enough food
for 7-10 days, including
milk, bread, eggs, canned
goods and meat, as well as
unlimited fresh produce.
Patrons also receive personal essentials like soap and
toilet paper.
Although BPNN already
has 150 volunteers (the
majority of which come
from Verona), Maxwell
said there are more opportunities such as stocking shelves, checking in
patrons, entering data,
cleaning, and helping with
produce, the kitchen and
garden projects.
In each of us there is a
desire to unite to do something worthwhile, to make
the world around us better
in some meaningful way,

we join with others who
feel the same urge and act
on the same sentiment,
there are no bounds to what

So far, one of the offices
is occupied by on-site social
worker Lisa Hemauer with
Joining Forces for Families, which
had been
located in
the basement
of St. James
Evangelical Lutheran
Church.
She said the Hemauer
new space
will make
her more accessible to the
people who also use the
food pantry since the hours
will align better and it is in
a more prominent location
with other resources.
We do resource referral
and advocacy, but we work
really closely with people
in the areas of housing,
employment, connection to
benefits and different programs, she said. We have
a philosophy of an open
door just helping people
problem solve and navigate
systems.
Hemauer, who has
worked with JFF for four
years and previously
worked in child protection through Dane County
Human Services for 14
years, said she also communicates with local law
enforcement, schools, public health and landlords.
The biggest issues she has
been seeing relate to housing and homelessness,
which she said boils down
to getting families stable
by generating income with
sustainable employment.

Pantry, kitchen use fresh garden ingredients

BPNN has taken steps to
ensure its patrons have a variety of food options and learn
to become more self-sufficient through cooking classes
at the Prairie Kitchen.
We are rescuing pristine
vegetables, which is so awesome, produce coordinator
Teri Cobb said. Thats one
of the things we want to do
is preserve peoples dignity;
we dont want to just hand
them the second (or) third
time around vegetables.
Cobb, who started volunteering with the food pantry
in 2012, helps manage the
Seeds to Supper garden program. Community members
were asked to Plant a Row
for the Hungry this spring
through Jungs Garden
Center, and for a small fee,
BPNN can grow seeds in the
greenhouse at the Middleton Outreach Ministry food
pantry and pick up the starter
plants in April.
Food pantry co-coordinator Doug Maxwell, a retired
tomato breeder and professor of plant pathology from
UW-Madison, used his
experience to help bring in
nutrient-rich soil and plantings for the raised organic
garden beds at Badger Prairie Community Garden this
spring. There, BPNN uses
two large 20-foot-by-40-foot
plots managed by volunteers
and a smaller plot shared
between six patrons.
Our patrons have been
very successful with gardening as well, and they end up
donating whatever their surplus is because they feel like
they want to give back to the
community, Cobb said.
She said there are three
staging areas for produce
that comes into the pantry
depending on how new it is
or how long it has been in
the refrigerator. However,
volunteers are instructed to
throw it out (or ask) when
in doubt.
The Move the Food
(slogan), its just so funny
how that just kind of goes
with everything, Cobb said
with a laugh. We try to
rotate the vegetables out as
often as we can to keep them
be located in the community where the people are
that are needing to access
resources, she said.
Now that JFF is located
in the same building as the
food pantry, Hemauer has
been getting more referrals
from patrons who can visit
her just down the hall. Her
office hours are Tuesday,

moving, because a lot of people do come in throughout

the day just for vegetables.
Although this is a very
busy time with summer produce, Cobb said volunteers
have already started succession planting in the garden to
prepare for the fall and winter season.
Its a nice cycle with the
networking and the food
growing process, Cobb
said. Were trying to attach
education with our vegetables and were trying to
use recipes and (demonstrations) that are four to five
ingredients or less and things
that you can use from a food
pantry. Its fun to get creative with that, too.
The Prairie Kitchen nutrition center will also teach
healthy cooking to senior
citizens and community
members through culinary
classes, as well as provide
opportunities for Verona
Area School District 18- to
21-year-old special needs
students to learn cooking skills. The kitchen features commercial-grade
equipment such as a 14-foot

condensate and exhaust hood
with fire suppression, gas
ranges with standard ovens,
a double convection oven
and a blast chiller, according
to a news release.
Already signed up to use
the kitchen are UW Extensions Eat Smart Program,
Madison Colleges culinary enrichment classes and
Verona Area High Schools
ProStart culinary program.
The kitchen will also be
available to rent by food
processors, caterers, food
cart businesses, personal
chefs and the general public
with all proceeds supporting
BPNNs operating costs.
Cobb said leftover zucchini, squash and tomatoes can
be shredded or chopped in
the commercial kitchen next
door and then frozen back in
the pantry. VAHS students
intend to cook with food
from the pantry and then
return the finished meals and
products to the refrigerator
or freezer for patrons to take
home with them.

Dame. He is expected to be a key contributor this season for the
Wildcats.

Offense struggles to finish

Wildcats fall 7-3 in rainsoaked contest
Anthony Iozzo
Assistant sports editor
There wasnt a lot of offense by either

team Friday at Middleton High School
as Verona Area High School football
took on the Cardinals in week 2 of the
regular season.
Heavy rains soaked the field from
start to finish, but that isnt what halted
the Wildcats offense in a 7-3 loss.
Even with the difficult conditions creating slippery fields and low visibility
for the passing game, Verona had several drives deep into the Middleton side
of the field.
In the first quarter, Verona was inside
the Cardinals 10-yard line and turned
the ball over on downs. Then, on the following drive, the Wildcats were able to
move inside the Middleton 5-yard line.
Instead of finishing the drive in the
end zone, Verona had to settle for a
19-yard field goal by senior kicker/
offensive lineman Robbie Freitag.
We just blew some opportunities
and, especially with the rain, if you get
10 points you are probably going to

win, head coach Dave Richardson said.
The offense just looked sluggish. The
only time we looked like we had a sense
of urgency was the last two drives.
On the other side of the ball, the
defense made plays, but Middleton was
able to capitalize deep in Verona territory late in the second quarter. Senior
quarterback Brennan Schmitt found
senior wide receiver Mitch Bacon on a
10-yard touchdown pass and Middleton
now had a 7-3 lead.
Even though that was the last time
any team scored, both teams had some
chances.
After scoring the first touchdown,
the Cardinals once again drove down
the field only to be picked off by junior
defensive back Brandon Daniels in the
end zone.
Later in the second half, junior defensive back Brad Laufenberg was able
to pick up an interception to keep the
Wildcats in the game.
The defense played extraordinary,
Richardson said. They really played
well against a nice running back and
running team. They tried to establish the
ground game, and I think we did a good
job keeping them out of the end zone.
But every time the offense got the

ball, even when it was able to eat up
some yards, there would ultimately be a
play that halted the momentum, whether it was a penalty, a missed snap or a
block.
Our shotgun was a problem. We lost
a lot of yardage there, and we are going
to have to look at that too and see if it
is worth it, Richardson said. They ran
shotgun as much as we were, and they
didnt fumble any snaps. We will have
to look at that to see if it is the center or
the quarterback. We cant keep going
backward like that. You cant overcome
first-and-20 or second-and-15. That is
impossible.
A prime example came on the final
Verona drive of the game. The Wildcats
moved the ball to the Middleton 30-yard
line only to be halted by a penalty.
Although Verona was able to get a
first down after the penalty, the drive
became stagnant with neither the running or passing attack moving the ball.
The Cardinals ultimately ended any
chance at a Wildcat comeback with an
interception.
I saw glimmers, and that is what we

Verona is 1-2 to start
this season and had mixed
results so far, including a
3-1 win over Kettle Moraine
on Friday and a 1-0 loss to
Green Bay Notre Dame on
Saturday.
We are very young and
need to get to know each
other, head coach Jake
Andreska said. We are
depending a lot on the young
guys, and we will go up and
down with them. We expect
that because they are young
and will make mistakes. But
when they are on, they are

things.

Home Talent League
Cavs look to regroup after

dropping first final four game
Anthony Iozzo
A chance at an undefeated season ended Sunday for the Verona

Cavaliers in the first week of the
Home Talent League Grand Championship series, and they now have
to regroup and win out to have a
chance at winning the title.
Verona had been dominating
teams in the Western Section all
season, but the southeastern champion Fort Atkinson Generals was a
different story Sunday at Stampfl
Field.
The Cavaliers led by two runs
in the eighth inning before starting
pitcher Kyle Nelson had his worst

inning of the season. Nelson, who
had only allowed one earned run all
year until that point, gave up three
runs in the top of the eighth to allow
the Generals to steal a 4-3 win.
We knew coming in that these
guys were pretty solid fundamentally. They werent going to make
a ton of mistakes. You are going
to have to come out and beat them,
and we didnt beat them today,
manager Nick Krohn said. They
did all the little things. We made
four outs on the bases, and that is
pretty much all on me.
Bryan Wallace was hit by a pitch
to start the eighth, and Tyler Sexton
followed with a single to left field.

After a sacrifice bunt by Tyler
Hartwig put runners on second and
third, a wild pitch allowed Wallace
to score to make it 3-2 Verona.
Nick Raether walked to put two
runners on again, and Josh Crandall
and Dan Dean both followed with
RBI singles to give Fort Atkinson a
4-3 lead.

are: Julia Pletta and Kelsey Beerman; (back) Franny Donovan, Preston Ploc and Judy Watters.
Pletta, Wildcats look to take

opportunities to improve
Jeremy Jones
Sports editor
A year ago Julia Pletta finished the season one spot shy of the individual state cross
country meet by six seconds. Now back as a
sophomore, Pletta is determined to take the
next step.
Pletta is one of four returning letterwinners back from a year ago, along with juniors
Franny Donovan and Preston Ploc, and fellow sophomore Kelsey Beerman.
Adding to the Wildcats underclassmen
depth figures to be freshman Jori Walsh.
We are a very young team with great
opportunities for improvement this season,
head coach Dave Nelson said. The top seven
varsity positions will most likely fluctuate
throughout the season as different girls gain
confidence in their own racing abilities.
The Wildcats, who lost three letterwinners
from a year ago, finished sixth overall in the
Big Eight and seventh at the WIAA Division
1 sectional meet.
Ultimately, the girls who represent us
on varsity at conference and sectionals will
be those who have put in the training over
the summer, remain healthy, and are willing
to learn how to race competitively, Nelson
said.
Postseason outlook
Nelson said Sun Prairie is the clear favorite
to not only win the Big Eight, but is also in
consideration to win the state meet.
Madison Memorial, Middleton and Madison West will also have strong teams once
again.
Memorial is the defending conference
champion and Middleton has consistently had
depth the past few years, while West simply
has a strong cross country tradition.
From there, Beloit Memorial expects to
have one of the top runners in the sectional.
Despite losing last years champion Brenda
Hernandez to graduation, the Purple Knights
welcome back third-place finisher Bailey
Cronin.
The battle for the top two team spots and

a trip to the WIAA Division 1 state meet on
Halloween looks to be wide open, however.
Last years sectional team champion,
Stoughton, finished 18 spots ahead of Fort
Atkinson for top team honors last season. The
Vikings lost three invaluable runners from
that squad however, including two-time sectional champion Nikki Staffen.
The Wildcats host their annual invite at 9
a.m. Saturday.
The Big Eight Conference meet will be
hosted at Blackhawk Golf Course in Janesville on Oct. 17.
Glenn Herold invite

Nelson said the Wildcats had a bit of a
learning experience on Saturday at the Glenn
Herold Invitational in Watertown.
We definitely did not start fast enough and
just never got going, Nelson said.
Half of the girls who ran on Saturday were
compete in their first 5K.
I think they ran a little afraid of the
unknown, Nelson said.We are hoping for
vast improvement this Saturday on our home
course.
Pletta led the pack with a 31st-place finish
in 22:30.
Donovan (24:10) and Ploc (24:19) finished
within nine seconds of one another for 60th
and 64th place, respectively.
Senior Alyssa Ducharme (25:11) and Beerman (25:26) rounded out the top five in 93rd
and 100th place.
The Wildcats finished ninth out of 12
teams with 273 points.
Big Eight rival Madison Memorial won the
meet behind the first-place finish of senior
Delaney Eigenberger (20:04). The Spartans
placed all five varsity scorers in the top 16.
Hamilton (61) and Wauwatosa East (80)
rounded out the top three.
The Wildcats varsity seven this Saturday
at the Verona invite will be comprised of girls
who all have one year or less of varsity racing
experience and three of them will run in their
first varsity race.

Boys cross country
Cats look to push pack behind senior leaders

Jeremy Jones
Sports editor
Its hard to believe but for

as long as there has been a
Verona cross country program, Randy Marks has been
there coaching it.
Entering an amazing 51st
year as head coach, Marks
inherits perhaps more question marks this season than
any in recent memory.
We definitely have question marks but thats part of
the fun of coaching, Marks
said. If we were loaded
with super talented experienced runners every year they
wouldnt need me to coach.
For his part, Marks is still as
passionate for coaching as the
day he started 51 years ago.
A young incoming seventh
grader today was watching us
hand out our team jerseys and
he said, I can hardly wait two
more years and I get one of
those, Marks said. It is fun
to watch them develop their
physical and mental strength
over the years.
For now, Verona is focused
on developing a core group of
returners ripe with potential.
And while the Wildcats
only lost four of nine letterwinners, highlighting that
group was the single most
talented distance runner in
school history.
Now running at UW-Madison, Ryan Nameth finished no
worse than third in three years
of competition at VAHS. He
also ran to multiple all-state
honors, medaling twice in the
3,200-meter race at the WIAA
Division 1 state track and field
meet.
Although we have lost
an outstanding runner and
some good back-ups, the guys
returning have the potential
to assert themselves well,
Marks said. Our key will be
team running this year and
getting a consistency that we
have lack over the past couple
season.
Verona returns five letterwinners, including seniors
Brady Traeder, Alec Shiva
and Tony Waschbusch.
Among that group, Traeder
tasted the most success so
far, earning second-team Big
Eight honors at conference
last season.
Sophomores Peter Barger
and Jared Jenkins also return
hoping to move the pack up
toward the upper echelon of
the conference.
While a young team, Marks
said if the Wildcats can keep
their top five healthy and
develop some of our younger
runners, they could have a
very solid team.
According to Marks,

Returning letterwinners for the Verona Area High School boys cross
country (front, from left) are: Jared Jenkins and T.J. Manning;
(back) Brady Traeder, Peter Barger and Alec Shiva.
newcomer junior Cory Pedersen has also shown some

early-season strength that may
surprise some of his teammates and coaches.
Brady should be one of
our lead runners this year but
is by no means going to go
unchallenged by other member of the team, Marks said.
Senior Alec, T.J., Peter Barger can all show pushes toward
the top.
With Nameth and Madison
Wests Olin Hacker now at
UW-Madison its Madison La
Follette junior Finn Gessner,
who figures to finally get his
chance to pace the conference.
With Gessner, the Lancers
return four of their top runners
off a fourth-place D1 finish
last year at state.
The Big Eight is never
sparse in regards to talent,
however, as Middleton brings
its top three back along with
the addition of Perrin Hagge.
While Madison West lost
its top seven from last years
state championship team,
the numbers and tradition of
the Regents always make the
squad formidable.
Also figuring into the top
three, Sun Prairie returns a
solid pack from a team that
ranked in the top 15 last year.
The Wildcats host their
annual invite at 9 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 5.
The Big Eight Conference meet will be hosted at
Blackhawk Golf Course in
Janesville on Oct. 17. Waunakee hosts the WIAA sectional meet on Oct. 24, while
the WIAA state meet is set for

Oct. 31 at the Ridges Golf
Course in Wisconsin Rapids.
Glenn Herold Invite

Verona placed all five of its
varsity scorers in the top 30 to
finish fourth overall Saturday
at the Glenn Herold Invitational in Watertown.
Manning (17:35), Shiva
(17:41) and Barger (17:47)
finished within 12 seconds of

potent as it had been, scoring a combined 41 runs in

three Western Section playoff games. And the final
two innings had two runners
reach base.
In the eighth, first baseman
Mike Jordahl walked with
one out and was stranded,
and in the ninth, second baseman Klayton Brandt singled
with two outs to keep the
game alive, but shortstop Justin Scanlon grounded out to
second to end the game.
Fort Atkinson pitcher
Frank Raff was tough on
Verona throughout the game,
and all three runs he allowed

came off the bat of Jordahl.
Jordahl hit an RBI single to
score Scanlon in the first, and
he later hit a 2-run single to
score Scanlon and right fielder Zach Spencer in the third.
For the rest of the game,
Verona stranded three runners in scoring position.
We were off-balance a
little bit, but we hit a few
balls hard still and they made
a couple of good defensive
plays, Krohn said. We
are not going to change our
approach no matter who we
are facing. Sometimes you
just tip your hat to the guy on
the other side.
Hartmann picked up the

other RBI for Fort Atkinson
in the top of the third. He singled home Crandall.
Raff picked up the win. He
allowed three earned runs on
seven hits in nine innings,
striking out five, walking five
and hitting a batter.
Nelson took the loss. He
allowed four earned runs on
seven hits in nine innings,
striking out seven, walking
four and hitting three batters.
The Cavaliers (0-1) now
have to win out if they are
to come back and win the
title. Next up will be Eastern champion Monona (0-1)
at 1 p.m. Sunday at Stampfl
Field. Fort Atkinson (1-0)
hosts defending champion
Ashton (1-0) at 1 p.m. Sunday at Jones Park.
It is not over, Krohn
said. The undefeated thing
would have been fun, but
our goal every year is go
out and win the whole thing.
We can still do that. That
can still happen. I am trying
to make them understand
that our goals are still out
there for us to attain.
Night League champions

The Cavaliers did have
success last week in the
Night League, claiming the
championship with a 3-2
win over Clinton at Stampfl
Field.
Verona went undefeated
in the Night League with a
11-0 record.
Kroncke, who was the
ace on Thursday Nights,
picked up the win in a duel
with tough left-hander Joe
Lange.
Now that the Thursday
games are done, Kroncke is
available to pitch on Sundays if needed.
I think his arm was a little sore today, Krohn said.
He didnt look like he was
real excited about maybe
going into (Sundays game).
He will have a whole week
off now, not having to pitch
on Thursday, so he should
be ready to go.

Verona History
50 years ago
Burr Weiland, who would
eventually become village
president, took his first run at
local office, a losing effort to
unseat Russell Marquardt on
the Verona school board.
Weiland cited his reason for
getting involved as to stop this
growing national socialistic
trend of handouts, freeloading
and star-gazing toward a Great
White Father in Washington.
The school board decided
to remodel its former agriculture building on Church
Street to house its administrative offices. The total cost was
less than $5,000, compared to
the estimated $60,000 it would
cost to include an administration wing with a new school
building.
The village annexed land
to be used for the new sewage
plant southeast of the village,
near Firemans Park.
The Birnum Bros. Three
Ring Circus made an appearance in Verona, bringing,
among other things, two large
elephants and a cross between
a llama and a camel.
Children playing with
matches led to a fire that
destroyed a chicken house
(used as a storage shed) on
Fitchrona Road.
The 2-month-old Verona
Press held its final week of
free circulation throughout the
community.
Verona Furniture Store
opened on U.S. 18-151 west

40 years ago
Verona firefighters complained that the new fire station had several defects and
that contractors shouldnt be
paid before they were fixed.
Among the problems were
bad floor tiles, inoperative
doors, a leaking roof and a
parking ramp that was unable
to support a fire truck, which
sunk into the blacktop.
Citing traffic dangers and
property damage, a group of
Harriet Park area residents
asked to move the annual
Fourth of July festival somewhere else.
Village President Burr
Weiland and others suggested
it move by the fire station, and
eventually the festival which
moved to June and became
Hometown Days did move
across the bike path from the
fire station, to Festival Park.
The village hired Bill
Wachtendonk as its new
administrator for $15,000 a
year.
The village had 34 applicants
for the position and interviewed nine. Wachtendonk
won out with experience in
purchasing, budgeting, labor
negotiations and personnel, as
well as active duty with the
U.S. Air Force in World War II
and as a city council alderman
in Greenfield.
The chamber of commerce
pushed to have the name
Verona on highway turn-off
signs along the South Beltline,
rather than just Dodgeville.
Thieves took more than
$700 in a break-in at the
Verona Milk Depot on West
Verona Avenue, and a separate burglary two weeks earlier
at the home of Bessie Niglis
made off with items worth
more than $10,000.
A Belleville driver knocked

when his car jumped the curb.

30 years ago
The school board opted
not to postpone paving over
Charles Stampfl Field next
to the elementary school to
provide areas for kids to play
when it is wet.
Its 4-2 vote came despite
a plea from the Parks
Commission chair, who
explained that the Community
Park field wouldnt be ready
for another year, and concerns
from the athletic director over
scheduling. But the board had
already postponed it several
times.

Cross Country Heights
residents lobbied the city to
help with the development of
their neighborhood park so
they could make it happen
more quickly. Since then, the
city has offered several community builds, generally by
neighborhood request.
The city made plans to
hold a raffle of a $20,000 lot in
Cross Country Heights in order
to provide extra revenue for
the community park.
The school district created
a citizen advisory committee
intended to review policies and
procedures and report to the
superintendent with advice,
opinions and questions.
A balloon released in a
memorial ceremony in Verona
was found in Erie, Pa., and
another in Essex, Canada.

After loud public outcry, the
school board decided against a
plan to move about 70 kids living on the border of Fitchburg
to the new Fitchburg school,
Stoner Prairie Elementary,
from Sugar Creek.
Parents had expressed concerns about busing costs and
losing their Verona community
ties.
18-year-old
Jamie
Torgeson died in a two-vehicle
crash at the intersection of
U.S. Hwy. 18-151 and County
Hwy. PB after turning into the
path of an oncoming semi.
Torgeson had been one of
the top graduates of the Class
of 1994 at Verona Area High
School.
Editor Mark Peterson wrote
his final column for the Press
after seven years at the post.
Deb Harville took over immediately, starting with a farewell
feature about Peterson.
Library director Bev
Cannady retired after seven
years at the post.
The city began studying
bringing back a city administrator, something it hadnt
had since the early 1980s. It
wouldnt actually hire one until
1998, when Larry Saeger took
the job.
July
Veronas Jim Rissman

grandfather clause that allowed
anyone who attended orientation in May to stay at Badger
Ridge but be responsible for
their own transportation.

neighborhood. The board had
already decided to allow students already in the school to

2005 VAHS graduate
Ashley Dresser got to meet
President Bush while she
spent a week in a DEA academy in Quantico, Va.
Bush was addressing an
assembly of U.S. Marines
about national security after
terrorist attacks in London,
and Dresser said she was
extremely liberal, so she was
excited to meet the president,
but not to see George Bush.
She said at one point she gave
one clap for the Patriot Act and

then stopped herself.
In an attempt to lure more
businesses, the city spent
$49,000 to update entrances
for Verona Technology Park
on the southeast side. Latitude
Corp., which had moved from
Venture Court, remained the
only tenant in the park until
2007.
A public forum on the big
box development ordinance
the city was crafting drew
about 25 people with a wide
variety of opinions.
The city had to add nearly
$60,000 to its construction of
Cross Country Road to add a
bike path. The path had been

planned all along but was not
included in the bidding documents.
Contractors began working
on the West Verona Avenue
expansion.
The city purchased two new

Dropoff: Color will go from faded blue to silver metal siding

unused garage bay doors.
The Catholic charity moved
in to the former Chevrolet
dealership four years ago,
and while it dressed up the
showroom area, the dropoff
area remained Spartan.
The new dropoff area
would be similar to the ones
in the Sun Prairie, Stoughton and Odana Road stores,
which are covered, according
to a letter accompanying St.
Vincents submission to the
city from CEO Ralph Middlecamp.
This will give the donor
the ability to drive their car
inside and unload in an area
protected from the outside
weather, it states.
The new siding would
change the color from a faded blue to a silver horizontal
metal siding similar to what
we used at our newest location on Odana Road in Madison, the letter states. This
will upgrade the appearance
of our whole facility.
The Plan Commission is
set to discuss the update at its
Sept. 8 meeting. Thats a day
later than normal because of
Labor Day, and the meeting
starts at 6:30 p.m.
Other items expected to be
on the agenda include a zoning change for Liberty Park
that got mixed levels of support last month, an expansion for Pure Sweet Honey
in the citys oldest industrial
park and a request to add 113
acres of the Verona Technology Park, on the citys
southeast side, into the citys

As part of an expansion of the St. Vincent De Paul thrift store, the old, graying siding from the former
Erickson Chevrolet dealership would be replaced with metal siding that better matches the facade.
developable area.
Liberty Parks zoning
change would allow more
commercial and retail uses
along the main corridor, Liberty Drive. Commissioners
generally were supportive of
making some of the zoning
changes but some expressed
reservations about changing
the entire 29 acres, particularly with more than 30 acres
of commercial uses already
there.
Pure Sweet Honey would
add a third building to its
27,000-square-foot facility
on Commerce Parkway and
add office and manufacturing

area to its main building for
a total of 17,600 square feet.
It also will discuss plans for
a future 30,000-square-foot
addition.
The company, which
claims to have become one
of the largest honey processors in the country in its
submission to the city, would
be making its third expansion
since moving to Verona 30
years ago. The changes eventually could result in adding
up to eight employees, the
submission reports.
The Technology Park
addition is the same request

that was dropped seven years
ago, when new rules from
the Capital Area Regional
Planning Commission sharply limited the amount of
acreage cities could grow. It
extends from County Hwy.
M to the Ice Age Trail, just
east of the current park,
behind the University of
Wisconsin Materials Distribution Center and SWAP,
Specialized Electric, SAFCPharma and the under-construction United Vaccines
plant.
