Election 2013

Kemp will challenge mayor

Jim Ferolie
Verona Press editor

Mayor Jon Hochkammer hasnt had an election opponent since defeating Bob Kasieta for the open seat in April 2006. Thats about to change. Chad Kemp, a bankruptcy attorney with a Verona office, announced his bid for mayor this month in what is rapidly becoming a typical way: He created a Facebook page called Chad Kemp for Mayor of Kemp Verona. The page, which already has more than 400 likes, doesnt indicate strongly what policies Kemp has, but it does claim

Billboards promote Verona

With room tax funds increasing every year, the Verona Area Chamber of Commerce continues to look for bold ways to promote Verona. The latest is a set of billboards in three locations around the state, coaxing potential visitors to Explore. Play. Stay. Thats a marketing theme thats been worked on for a couple of years and finally honed this past spring by assistant Terri Weiss, who was here for just a few months before taking another job. The chamber has used that theme in a statewide biking magazine and in ads in other communities visitors guides chamber executive director Karl Curtis said. It has also promoted similar concepts in radio ads and in a Discover Wisconsin show partially about Verona that

aired last year. But the most noticeable if you happen to be going that way are the billboards, which went up in August. Theyll be up until Dec. 1 and likely will go back up again in the spring to coincide with the peak youth sports season. The idea, Curtis said, is to focus on the thousands of people who come into Verona each year for sporting events such as soccer, baseball and lacrosse tournaments and encourage them to spend time and money here, rather than heading to Madison or other nearby areas during their downtime or for their overnight stays. One of the billboards is in Janesville, along U.S. Hwy. 14 west of the Interstate, another is in Stoughton, along U.S. 51 near the chamber office and the third is in Columbus. Were getting really good feedback. People are noticing them all over the

area, Curtis said. We get a lot of people who see them coming back from Packer games. The billboards cost about $15,000 for production of the signs and leasing the space this year. Next years billboards wont have the production cost but likely will be up for a longer period. The cost of the billboards is just a drop in the bucket for the room tax funds, which have risen steadily since the opening of the Holiday Inn Express in 2008 to more than $100,000 a year. And theyll likely go up again with a new Fairfield Inn and Suites being built on West Verona Avenue and likely to stay full year-round with Epic visitors. The chamber is working on an overall marketing plan for ways to use the money, which admittedly is something we should have had in place already, Curtis said.

That money, a portion of the hospitality tax collected by the city, is required by state law to be used for tourism-related expenses, which could be anything from sponsoring local events that draw out-of-towners, like Verona Area Performing Arts Series shows, to marketing campaigns. The chamber has considered hiring an employee focused on marketing and promotions, although thats still a dicey proposition with a proposal moving through the state Legislature to severely restrict control of the room tax funds. A better option, Curtis said, might be contracting a part-time position. It creates a challenge, Curtis said. We have to find a good way to use those funds. When you kind of dont know what youre going to have Thats one of the reasons if we outsource this, were not losing an employee, were just ending a contract.

Library celebrates award with party

The lineup

It may not have the same feel of hoisting a championship trophy or cutting down the nets, but for everyone in the area with a stake or interest in the 2013 Wisconsin Library of the Year Verona Public Library, Saturday will be a chance to have a little fun. The library was honored earlier this year in recognition of distinguished achievement in service, particularly for its public programming and its strong participation in reading programs. The party includes a visit from Mo Willems popular storybook characters, Elephant and Piggy, kids karaoke with The Gomers and glitter tattoos, crafts, cake and refreshments. It begins at 10 a.m. with appearances from local elected officials, including Sen. Jon Erpenbach. Verona Public Library director Brian Simons said the award recognized all levels of what it takes to provide outstanding service to the community, and credited funding support from both taxpayers

Without the Friends of the Library the, Summer Library Program would be a shell of what it is, he said. Without the Board's willingness to support a vision of library service that builds a community through literacy and lifelong education, we could not do move services in the progressive manner we have. Simons pointed out the highly skilled, motivated and dedicated library staff that organizes and maintains an increasingly busy building which hosts hundreds of programs a year. I tell the staff all the time that a library is a service, he said. In order to do service you need people willing to serve, and in order to do great service, you need great people.

10-11 a.m.: Elected officials speak 11-11:30 a.m.: Elephant and Piggie, crafts, cake, refreshments, provided by the Friends of the Library 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.: Kiddyoke live band karaoke with kids songs, with The Gomers 12:30-2 p.m.: Elephant and Piggie, plus crafts/ refreshments

A plan for what would be one of the biggest restaurants in the city is back on the Plan Commission agenda after being withdrawn earlier. The commission will give feedback and hold an informal discussion on the East Verona Avenue proposal and will also consider final plans for Epics Campus 4 and a revised proposal for more than 200 residential units on the east side of the Prairie Oaks subdivision off Cross Country Road. The restaurant was first suggested in August though not described or discussed in any detail as part of the initial review in August for a new AgSource building on East Verona Avenue. The AgSource building earned final approval earlier this month and (prep work has already begun on the 6-acre site sandwiched between Consolidated Food Service and the nearly unmarked Badger Prairie Health Care Center cemetery. It would take part of the spot that was once planned for the similarly sized and now aborted Murphys Hometown Hideaway. Like the more complicated plan for a restaurant next to the bike trail that got a preliminary approval earlier this month, the restaurant appears to be a locally owned startup. At 5,700 square feet, it would be the third-largest restaurant in the city, behind Grays Tied House

(10,525 square feet) and Cucos (6,473 square feet), and it would also include a pair of outdoor volleyball courts. A letter submitted with the proposal calls it a family-oriented restaurant and sports bar with a neighborhood atmosphere that would feature an outdoor kids area, a private party area and a potential rooftop patio. It promises to have at least a dozen Wisconsinmade craft brews on tap and locally sourced meat ground and stuffed on site. It could not be approved before December, when it could return for site plan approval from the commission and a permit for restaurant activity from the Common Council. City planning director Adam Sayre told the Press the restaurant had been removed from the agenda to avoid creating any conflicts with the time-sensitive AgSource building. Epics $200 million Campus 4 got its usual treatment earlier this month, with questions and comments that were more curious than critical on a set of buildings that exceeds city standards by wide margins in most aspects. There was a brief discussion on the building height which is far above the citys maximum in some spots but because of its location there were no serious objections. The developer hoping to expand at Prairie Oaks, meanwhile, is returning with a revised concept that would spread out the 108 apartment units and 111 senior housing units over three or more years, adhering closer to the citys year-old apartment phasing policy.

Letters to the editor

Verona losing charm to chains

Im a little behind on reading the paper, so I just saw the story of what is going into the shopping area in front of Farm & Fleet. I am so disappointed. Our town is turning into the economically depressed area around Woodmans West. Our locally-owned businesses are closing as major chain restaurants move in and drive them out of business. Instead of healthy food options, we are getting a drive-through Little Caesars, so we can feed our families cheap, greasy pizza thats been sitting under heating lamps for hours. We have traded locally-owned Michaels for Dairy Queen and Orange Leaf (both major chains and neither are invested in our local community). There are already very few reasons for anyone to come to Verona, and they are decreasing by the minute. Instead of neighborhoods, our town is getting more giant apartment complexes. If we keep this up, our town will just be a pit stop for people that are saving up to move somewhere nice. Beth Tucker Long City of Verona

Unified voice needed to fight partisan politics

Last week was costly for our country. The Republican House again took the nation to the brink of default. Even though they pulled back from the cliff at the very last minute, their antics came at a great cost. Party politics again trumped governance. The United States was held hostage to ideology with a minority demanding ransom from the majority. The countrys credit rating was threatened and faith in our government was shaken at home and abroad. Millions of Americans lives were put on hold, services to the needy were curtailed, and the nations readiness for disaster was compromised. And for what? This most recent farce happened because the Tea Party critters that occupy Congress were purchased by billionaires in bought elections. Their seats were secured by ultra partisan redistricting. Their base has been mesmerized by shiny half-truths and outright lies. What can we do to stop the next theater production by the Tea Party hucksters? We must continue to work to remove the taint of big money in politics. We must have a constitutional amendment to apply constitutional rights to people, not corporations. We must enact laws in which districting is done rationally without regard to politics. In addition, we must as a country awake to the notion that we are all in this together. We all do better when we all do better. If we vote our best interests and refuse to be influenced by the selfserving voices of billionaire handlers and corporate boardrooms, we may just restore the American Dream of governance of We the people, for the people, and by the people before it disappears forever.

I envisioned? Non-existent. No window, not even space to do a quick workout. In fact, my roommates and I live in a self-proclaimed dungeon. There are no windows at all on the main level. Our kitchen sure beats dormsized microwaves, but what it makes up for in amenities, it lacks in counter space. And I mean no counter space at all and no cupboard space. Our single bathroom is the only bathroom for the three of us. While it beats communal showers, our drain is barely functional. So its sort of like taking a bath and a shower at the same time. The walls of our apartment are so thin, we can hear anything and everything happening in our neighboring apartments. For instance, our neighbors in 609 have their microwave on the other side of my room. Every beep, beep, beep of the microwave in their apartment is a beep, beep, beep right in my ear in my bed. But its cheap and its a college apartment. What can I expect? With a little decorating and some good scrubbing, weve transformed a rather crappy apartment into our cozy home. I added some pictures to my walls to make up for the lack of windows. We put lamps and lights in the living room to make

up for the dungeon-like space. And were sure to keep lots of vinegar on hand for our tough shower drain. After all, its one of those great college experiences that Ill be able to tell my kids someday. From trying out for the womens rugby team freshman year to dorm-room dilemmas and now living in my first crappy apartment, college is the time for those memorable experiences. Ive learned to sleep through not just the microwave beeping but the fist-pumping music and the partying of our neighbors. Ive learned how to wake up in a pitch-black room with absolutely no sunlight. Ive also learned how to creatively stack our groceries and cook with no counter space, how to climb six double flights of stairs and how to repeatedly call maintenance when they dont respond to our commonly occurring apartment problems. I dont doubt that someday Ill be shocked I ever lived in such a place. But for now, Ill chalk it up as another learning experience in college.

County road improvements near Epic will benefit many

As County Executive, I have the honor of meeting with business leaders across our county to talk about their vision for continued success and examine what county government can do to ensure they have a happy home here. Recently I visited the Epic Systems Campus and while the continued growth and development of this global success story thats right in our backyard is most impressive, I was equally struck by the sense of community and level of civic engagement shown by Judy Faulkner and her team. That willingness to partner on efforts that are a win-win for both the Epic campus and the surrounding community bodes well for all employees of the company and the thousands of families whose lives are positively impacted by the growing number of jobs Epic sustains. Its because of that spirit of collaboration that Dane County recently took the Parisi lead on making traffic improvements at the intersection of County Highways M and PD just outside of Verona. New turn lanes and signals there will help Epic employees return home evenings with a smoother commute. In the coming years, these roads will be expanded with additional traffic lanes and dedicated bike lanes constructed all intended to meet the growing transportation needs of our area. We get more done when we do it together, and these improvement projects shared by Dane County along with the Cities of Verona and Madison show together we deeply value what Epic and its workforce mean for our region. Joe Parisi is the Dane County Executive.

Transit Authority re-creates Chicagos timeless hits

Bill Livick
Unified Newspaper Group

If you go
Who: Transit Authority When: 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 9 Where: Verona Area High School Performing Arts Center Tickets: $28 adult; $26 senior over 65; $8 student 18 and under Info: Visit vapas.org or call 848-2787

Beginning in 1969, the band Chicago recorded what most classic rock fans regard as timeless music. That timeless quality is part of what appealed to Tim Ellis, a St. Paul-based drummer who formed a Chicago tribute band, Transit Authority, nine years ago. Since then, the eightpiece group has toured the United States and earned a reputation for its spoton renditions of Chicagos hits: Does Anybody Know What Time It Is, Make Me Smile, Colour My World, Saturday in the Park, 25 or 6 to 4, among many others. In a telephone interview, Ellis said Transit Authority performs music from Chicagos first eight albums and does the first album in its entirety. Its things that you recognize but probably havent heard since you heard the crackling of the album, he said. Chicago is a really difficult band to emulate and copy, he added. It kind of pushed everybody to another level musically to learn that stuff. Its always good to be challenged like that. The thing that people most commonly associate with Chicagos music is its horn section. Ellis noted Chicago was first and foremost a rock band that added big brassy horns. The

band was way ahead of its time musically, and Transit Authority emulates that music with respect and precision, Ellis said. We just nail the stuff like the records, he said. And we dont do any FM versions, like Make Me Smile. We do the entire trilogy of all the different parts, including Color My World. Itll bring back a lot of memories for people. Thats the main thing. The players that Ellis recruited for Transit Authority match Chicagos original songs note for note and dont need music charts to do it. There are no music stands up on that stage, he said. All the horn bands Ive ever seen are reading charts, but thats not gonna happen with these guys. Ellis described his bands trombone player, Alan Lecher, as an amazing musician who can knock your socks off.

The eight-piece Chicago tribute band Transit Authority has toured the United States performing hits from the first eight albums produced by the 44-year-old band, which was originally called Chicago Transit Authority.

His brother was our original horn player, Christopher Lecher, Ellis recalled. He had a scholarship for school and so he had to split the band. But he said he had an older brother who plays trombone, too. We were pretty skeptical, because Christopher was such a monster player, Ellis continued. Well, Alan, his older brother by 10 years, came in, auditioned and blew us away. Hes just like his younger brother except hes got 10 years more maturity and everything that goes with

playing for 10 years longer. Another highlight of Transit Authority is the bands lead singer, Barry Patrick. Ellis calls him our Peter Cetera. He is so entertaining and captures the audiences so well, he said. Its a thrill to be working with him. Patricks background in theater helps to make him an exciting and commanding performer, Ellis said. He introduces the tunes

and the band and tells great stories between the songs, he said. Barry captures the audience and has them in the palm of his hand. Its really cool. In nine years of re-creating the sound of Chicago, Ellis said hes heard over and over again how much audiences enjoy the show. In fact, people often say Transit Authority is better than the original band. Were told constantly that I just heard the real Chicago and you guys are

actually better, Ellis said. I know what theyre saying, and I know were not better because we know the guys in Chicago and have gotten endorsed by them. But what theyre really saying is, you guys stick to the original format, where they dont, he explained. They have changed the arrangements around and they dont sound the same. People want to hear the records. Thats what we do; its our specialty.

City in brief
Sugar River lease
The Common Council unanimously approved a six-month extension of its long-running lease with Sugar River United Methodist Church. The church has inhabited the former Verona Public Library building at 130 N. Main St. since 2007, when it took over the building on a year-to-year basis and provided a space for the Verona Food Pantry in the basement. Originally, church leaders were considering the possibility of constructing their own church building while the city explored selling its no longer needed property. However, the deal has been renewed annually with a slight increase in rent each year. This year, SRUMC asked the city to consider a six-month lease rather than a 12-month lease. The Finance committee and council agreed Monday, making the lease run to April 30, but also inserted an option for the church to extend the lease another six months if needed. worth of property taxes each year until then. The first step is designing the intersection, then the city will take out bonds to pay for the rebuild. City staff and planners have spent most of the past year drawing up plans to accommodate Epics expansion to campuses 4 and 5 and presenting them to the public. Included in the cost are coming up with preliminary cost estimates, mapping out the amount of right-of-way, attending meetings with the town and county and holding a single public information meeting about the project.

Silence Is Golden
The value of silence in our noisy and busy world is easy to overlook, and even though many of us would like a quieter environment, it can be almost impossible to find a truly quiet place in much of the modern world. Cars, trucks and motorcycles with loud mufflers are some of the worst offenders when it comes to disrupting what little serenity we have. Loud music and boisterous parties are perennial disturbers of the peace as well. Since loud and inconsiderate people are not likely to be convinced of the errors of their ways, holy men and women have always known the importance of sequestering themselves, going into caves or sojourning in the wilderness. Some religious orders even take vows of silence. Finding quiet time each and every day pays big dividends to our spiritual and emotional health, and probably our physical health as well. We should consider also whether our lifestyle is contributing to a quieter world or if we are one of those vexatious disturbers of the peace. Christopher Simon via Metro News Service Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life. 1 Thessalonians 4:11

Brewery: Veronas new brewing company rolls out locally Nov. 1 and statewide Nov. 4
Continued from page 1 pursuit of purchasing Capital Brewery, where Carl was the former CEO, in fall 2011. From there, they began planning, and brought Nelson into the mix to produce the product in fall 2012. While Nov. 4 will be an important day for them as they enter the statewide craft brewery market which already includes successful and well-known companies such as New Glarus and Capital the first people to try their beer on the market will be Verona residents. The company is holding a soft opening this weekend, with its beers on tap only in Verona and Paoli. I really think its going to be a great opportunity for them to come and see the brewery and go out and try our brands of beers at different bars and restaurants, Carl Nolen said, calling the weekend a way to tip our hat to the local community.

Local rollout

Among the Verona bars that will have the beer on tap (in addition to the tap room at the brewery itself), are the Draft House and the Paoli Pub and Grill. Mark Franklin, a co-owner of both bars, called the new brewery exciting, and said the idea of only distributing in Verona for the first weekend was a welcome, if surprising, opportunity. Kind of a classy move, he said. Were going to get the buzz out and let some of the local establishments benefit a little bit off of driving some extra traffic. Carl Nolen and Nelson will in fact deliver the first keg of beer to the Draft House and christen it themselves, and then stick around for a few drinks with customers to hear feedback and get ideas for future beers, Franklin said. After the opening weekend, Franklin said the bar would give (the) customers what they want as far as keeping WBC brews on tap, though he plans to carry all of their beers bottled regardless. Were going to try to get a lot of customer feedback, he said. It just depends on how they go over. Carl Nolen said he anticipates a great opening weekend, and is excited to finally open the brewery to the public after the invite-only pre-opening the group held Saturday. The gathering allowed friends, owners of other breweries around the area and employees from companies that worked on the brewery a chance to purchase merchandise, taste the beer, roam around the building and, most of all, congratulate the giddy owners as they began their last week of not selling beer

for what they surely hope is a long time. He said hes seen the excitement around town. Both he and his brother have told stories about shopping downtown and having people spontaneously clap for them after noticing their WBC attire.

Local connections

Veronas first locally-based brewery has been in the works since late 2011 when the Nolen brothers decided to stop pursuing a purchase of Capital Brewery. We just stopped for a second and said, You know what? Lets just build our own brewery, Carl Nolen said. Build something that we can be proud of for a long time. Weve just been nothing but focused on it since then. They eventually selected Verona, where their mother lives, as a great location, after deciding to

focus somewhere near the west side of Madison, the city they grew up in. Including Wisconsin in the companys name also was not an accident based on how important the state is to all three owners, whose families have been in Wisconsin for generations, according to Nolen. Once a location was chosen which Nolen has noted as being the midpoint between tourist favorites New Glarus Brewing Company and Wollersheim Winery the group focused on localizing the entire construction process, using Wisconsin, and even Verona-made parts whenever possible. While the brewhouse was German-engineered, it was built in Hudson and includes parts from all over the state, including Elroy, Fond du Lac, Milwaukee and Verona.

A long journey back

The brewing industry in Wisconsin has had many ups and downs in its history, but the industry has begun to grow again. Wisconsin Brewing Company plans to eventually brew over 100,000 barrels a year making it another craft brewery in a state that currently ranks ninth nationally per capita. In its first year, WBC expects to produce about 20,000 barrels.

It also includes an outdoor patio space that will hold events for companies or nonprofits, Carl Nolen said. He quickly added that he wont be getting into the party planning business himself anytime soon; for now hell simply allow the groups to plan their own entertainment or activities while there. Were beer guys, he said with a chuckle. We just want to have the right spot.

The Wisconsin Brewing Company held an invite-only pre-opening celebration Saturday, Oct. 26 for friends. Above, bartenders at the event pour beer for waiting customers, who were in the hundreds at the event. Below, the companys kegging machine went on-line Oct. 23, and after a little troubleshooting, the first kegs began to roll out full of beer, with pallets more of kegs ready to be filled.

The company will also offer tours of its brewery at 4, 5 and 6 p.m. on weekdays and every hour from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekends. The tap room will be open seven days a week, from 3-9 p.m. Monday through Friday, 10 a.m.9 p.m. Saturdays and 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Sundays, and will have all four of the companys initial offerings

on tap. The first four beers will include an amber lager, a big IPA, a brown porter and a session IPA, though Nolen said he knows they will continue innovating as time goes on, saying the brewery will make probably up to 20 beers a year with a constant rotation of seasonal products. Consumers today are constantly looking for something new and exciting from their local brewery, Carl Nolen said. The four beers we have, we know they may not be around in a couple of years. Were happy with em, we think theyre really good and we hope people like them.

The excitement surrounding the companys opening transforms to optimism about the future when Carl is asked about how large the company will grow down the road,

with an expectation to produce up to 200,000 barrels annually. For now, though, they really need to make sure we know how this plant runs, he said, adding that the brewery plans to limit its production to 25,000 barrels or less in the first year. Its a function of how fast the category grows, and I cant predict that, Carl Nolen said. I really think the craft beer category is

going to triple the size it is today. But this weekend, their focus is on giving Veronans a chance to welcome them to town in the only fitting way: drinking their beer. The support has been there, and theyre excited about it, and I hope they enjoy the beers, he said. Its kind of a nervous time for us.

Ryan Nameth finished third overall at last years WIAA Division 1 state cross country meet just off the sophomore record of former Stevens Point standout Chris Solinsky despite only taking up the sport last season. Unchallenged at Saturdays WIAA Division 1 Verona sectional meet after covering the 5K Randy Marks Cross Country Course in a meet-best 15 minutes, 55 seconds, Nameth enters this weekends state

meet as the top returner. In fact, he is the only returner from the top 7 at state a year ago. West Bend West senior Alec Miller is the only other returner from the top 10, placing eighth last season. The expectations last year were like, hey, youre going to run at state and if youre lucky metal, Nameth said. The state meet is really different and you dont know where your place is until youve been there before. Now with the experience of running at the Ridges Golf Course already behind him, Nameth simply said, I want to win it. Its making me nervous already and its still a week away.

Cats fall just shy of regional title

Senior captain outside hitter Leslie Banzhaf attempts a kill Saturday, Oct. 26, in a WIAA Division 1 regional final at DeForest. Verona lost 3-2 (30-28, 22-25, 25-12, 18-25, 13-15).

It seemed as though the regional title was in hand Saturday at DeForest in a WIAA Division 1 regional final. The Verona volleyball team was up 12-10 in the fifth set, but the match was back-and-forth all night, with 15 lead changes combined in five sets and several moments when the match was tied or within one point. But it wouldnt be the Wildcats, who held the plaque at the end, as DeForest wound up outscoring Verona 5-1 to win the set and the match 3-2 (30-28, 22-25, 25-12, 25-18, 13-15).

Verona did hold a two games to one lead after coming back from an initial four-point deficit to start the third set to win 25-12 in the only dominant game by any team. DeForest came back in game four with six straight points to open, led by four aces, and the Wildcats found themselves in another hole. They fought back again to come to within one point twice, but this time DeForest was able to hold on and run away with a 25-18 win. Head coach Kelly Annen said that the Norskies erased any momentum Verona had after game three, and it was tough to continually have to come back all match. We struggled when we would dig holes and get five points behind, but

then our serve would be aggressive and come back. It took a lot of energy for us to keep doing that, Annen said. As we continued to push, we got gassed. Annen said she was very happy with how the girls played though, especially with a new rotation due to the injury of sophomore outside hitter Kylie Schmaltz in the regional semifinal. We didnt have much time to practice this new rotation, so they did an awesome job to adjusting to adversity, Annen said. They battled to the end. Perhaps the most exciting game of the match was the first one. The

Regionals: All but two Cats return next season

Continued from page 9 Wildcats trailed 7-4 before fighting back to take a 14-10 lead. But Deforest battled back to tie and then take the lead 21-20. Now down 24-22, Verona needed to prevent the match point by DeForest with two straight points. Senior outside hitter Maddie Vogel picked up two kills to do just that, but the game wasnt done yet. Verona and DeForest exchanged a few points until the Norskies once again gained the advantage. But Vogel and junior middle hitter Jessica Coyne were able to get a couple of kills to give the advantage back to the Wildcats. Coyne and Vogel were later able to finally put DeForest away with a couple of kills for the 30-28 win. The Wildcats came back to trail 11-6 in game two, but they fought back to retake the lead 12-11 before the Norskies scored six straight points to build a 17-12 lead. Verona didnt flinch, collecting five points to tie and then jumped out to a 19-18 lead. However, the Norskies closed on a 7-3 run to pull out the 25-22 win. Verona finishes the season 17-11, and it must regroup next year. But the Wildcats do have all but two players returning from the roster. Vogel and senior outside hitter Leslie Banzhaf graduate, and Annen said they will be missed, but there is excitement with what is returning. Vogel and Banzhaf were both captains and leaders that

helped set a precedent for their younger teammates. I think it is an opportunity for us to grow still, having the younger girls without much court time or playing time just to be able to get opportunities, get the most of it and not play timid, she said. I dont think we should settle for anything knowing most of our roster is comprised of underclassmen and they should have the drive to want to come back next year. Their goals should be a tangible one, to keep pushing and make it to the state tournament. Vogel and Coyne finished with 17 and 14 kills, respectively, while junior libero Samantha Kolpek picked up three aces. Sophomore setter Victoria Brisack had 36 assists.

Coyne (2 assisted, 2 solo), Brisack (2 assisted, 2 solo) and sophomore middle blocker Julie Touchett (4 assisted) all picked up four total blocks. Coyne and Brisack added 13 digs, while Kolpek picked up 12. Vogel had nine, and junior defensive specialist Morgan Schmitz had eight. Sophomore outside hitter Karly Pabich had seven.

Senior Jenni LaCroix finished 14th overall at Saturdays WIAA Division 1 sectional meet in Verona with a time of 16 minutes, 58 seconds. The Wildcats failed to qualify anyone for state for the first time since 2001.

Sectionals: Girls finish short

of individual qualifier
Continued from page 9 Badger at sectionals. Janesville Craig (82) finished three points ahead of the Wildcats. Seniors Luke Waschbusch and Ben Feller finished 25 seconds apart in 17:04 and 17:29, respectively. Waschbusch came in 12th overall, while Feller finished 21st. Sophomore Brady Traeder (17:30) and junior Nick Stigsell (17:43) rounded out the teams varsity scoring in 22nd and 29th place. There were no PRs Saturday, but Waschbusch, Traeder and Stigsell all ran best times on their home course. It looked as though we left it all on course and had nothing left for sectionals, Marks said. If we could have come within 20 seconds of our conference times it would nave have been close for second, but our response the second lap was not what it needed to be to deserve a trip to state. Senior Elliot Imhoff and sophomore Alec Shiva also competed on varsity but didnt score. There are other top runners besides Hacker so Ryan needs to be focused on the field, Marks said. I felt last year if Ryan hadnt locked on to Diffee for so long he would have had second instead of third. The gun fires on this years race at 2:25 p.m. Id like to break the state record, but Id have to run pretty hard and pretty fast, Nameth said. Thats what the state meet usually brings about. Though it was a goal to do so following his finish a year ago, the state record is not the goal anymore following his injury and time away from training last year, Nameth said. This year is now just more about winning the race, he said. That state record is definitely the career goal. I feel 100 percent now, I just wish I could go back and workout for those couple months. Youve got to work with what youve got and Im going to make sure thats enough.

For the first time since 2001 the Wildcats girls cross country team wont be represented by at least one individual at this weekends D1 state meet. Senior Jenni LaCroix, who didnt run at the Big Eight Conference due to illness, wasnt back to 100 percent yet Saturday, finishing 14th overall in 16:58. Jenni said that she was feeling fine and was running well until about the 2 mile mark, Verona head coach Dave Nelson said. She said after the race that her foot was bothering her which caused her to slow down. The rest of Veronas pack all finished within 20 seconds of one another starting with sophomore Kayleigh Hannifans 17:17, but the Wildcats were too far back to threaten, finishing fifth overall as a team with a score of 132. For comparison, sectional champion Stoughton placed all five of its varsity runners in the top 13 for a score of 38. Fort Atkinson (99) finished second and also advanced to Saturdays state meet as a team. Hannifan finished 24th overall, while senior Aylise Grosenbacher-McGlamery (17:29), junior Erica Higgins (17:32) and senior Felicia Retrum (17:33) crossed the finish line in 28th, 32nd and 34th place, respectively. Junior Sarah Guy and freshman Judy Watters also competed on varsity but did not score. Kayleigh and Aylise had nice races and Judy Watters did a great job in her first varsity race, Nelson said. We definitely need to take a look at our training both in and out of season in order to get back to where we were two seasons ago. We still have a solid core of runners that can get our program back to where we were. Saturdays girls Division 1 state meet starts at 12:40 p.m.

Verona High School students named to elite regional vocal ensemble

Overture Center for the Arts has named Verona Area High School freshman Nathan Lucas and junior Alex Roller to a vocal ensemble of 18 of the areas top high school performers, the downtown Madison arts center Roller announced this month. The Tommy Ensemble grows from Overtures Tommy Awards program, which recognizes excellence in high school musical theater throughout South Central Wisconsin. Under the direction of musical director, vocal coach, actress and veteran vocalist Gail Becker, the ensemble aims to serve as preparation for college music programs and a training program for aspiring professional performers. The amount of talent we have right here is just staggering, said Tim Sauers, Overtures vice president of programming, who oversees the Tommy Awards. That talent is just there and ready to be nurtured, encouraged and developed. Overture is perfectly positioned to do that, and Gail is the perfect person to carry it out. Im thrilled for this opportunity, said BeckLucas er, a Chicago native who lives in Madison. Its so exciting to lead this group of what really could be future professional entertainers. Well teach them how to sing, but also how to live as a singer, what the life of a performer looks like, so theyll be prepared in every way to make those career decisions later. The ensemble will perform at private Overture Center events for the most part this year, with a public cabaret performance in the works for this year and plans for more public performances and tour in the future. It will not be limited to 18 members, but will likely number between 18 and 24 in future years.

Candidate: Kemp inspired by last election

Continued from page 1 a need for strong and proactive leadership to deal with Veronas fast, relentless growth. After responding to a Verona Press inquiry last week, Kemp said he planned to make a more public announcement soon. The 1997 Verona Area High School graduate told the Press that after law school, he decided to move back to Verona with his wife, Nicole, to raise their family, which includes two young children, including one attending the same elementary school he did as a kid, Sugar Creek. Kemp has been interested in politics since those days and served on student council as far back as fifth grade, but unlike most other candidates for mayor in the citys 35-year history, he doesnt have any background in city government. Instead, his community service has been on such boards as the Dane County Youth Commission and Verona Area Needs Network, and he said hes followed Verona city politics closely through the newspaper for the past two-and-a-half years. He said his main motivation for running was to preserve some of the best things about the community he grew up around. Though hes a Fitchburg native, he spent a great deal of time in Verona and clearly remembers entering town daily and seeing the sign that announced the population as 5,374. Now, with more than 11,000 people here and no end to the citys growth in sight, Kemp sees directing that growth the right way as imperative, as well as keeping hometown values alive and well. And what exactly are those? How people treat each other, how much emphasis we put into the school system, he said. Im a product of that. One example of that is the issue of the fire departments open hiring process, in which firefighters from the dissolving Verona Fire District are not being guaranteed their old jobs in the new city department. Kemp said that more than anything prompted him to run now. I attended the (Common Council) meeting where a number of the firefighters were there, he said. I thought, if this were me, if it were my job, is this how I would want to be treated by an employer? Kemp cant officially begin taking out nomination papers he needs 50 signatures until Dec. 1, but he can file declaration of candidacy, campaign registration statements and financial disclosure forms at any time, city clerk Kami Scofield said Tuesday.

VASD: Final vote at Nov. 4 meeting

Continued from page 1 $12.27 per $1,000 of assessed value, according to VASD business director Chris Murphy, down from the $12.78 they paid in 2012-13. The owner of a $250,000 home would pay $3,067.50, down $120.50 from a year ago and $30 less than what was projected at the districts annual budget meeting in June. The more than $3 million increase in aid from last year comes from the p r e - k i n d e r g a r t e n p r ogram, which added a lot of students to the districts count. Although that program began last school year, Murphy said the state always falls a year behind, because they have to base it on actual budgeted reports, meaning there were no prior reports on the pre-k program, which most districts in the state already had before Verona implemented one. While the tax base did increase for the 2013-14 year in Verona, which would normally lead to lower state aid, the growing number of students more than offset that, leading to more state aid and lower taxes, Murphy said. The increased aid can only be used to lower the tax levy, Murphy said, so it does not mean the district has more spending power. As a result of the new funding, the levy has decreased since the annual meeting as well. In June, it was projected at $33,518,976, but with the final state numbers in hand, Murphy said the number will go down to $33,432,364. The VASD school board will vote on the final 2013-14 budget at its next meeting, Monday, Nov. 4.

Knights of Columbus
Church events started well during the fledgling fraternal year. Knight Andy Zielke chaired a Brunch for Seminarians at St. Andrew Church. The Madison Diocese assembled their future priests for a breakfast celebration. It was a great event and Knight Andy had eight Knights volunteering to make the event successful. (B. Paar, J. Bosch, R. Mozgawa, B. Cassel, C. Hellenbrand, B. Schneider, E. Purcell). Knight Bill Kuchenbecker kicked off youth events during the Ironman community event, Sept. 8. Twentythree young people showed up for the Free Throw Contest, Soccer Challenge, and Punt, Pass, and Kick competitions. Winners advance to the District Level later this month in Barneveld. Knight Clyde Hellenbrand started our charity fundraising with a very successful Brat-Steak Stand on Sept. 8. Knights Leo Warren and Ray Esser assisted Mr. Hellenbrand during the event. We had a net income of $925 for charity. Thanks to the 25 Knights who showed up to assist on this wonderful Community Event. A huge thank you to past District Deputy William Brosius. Brosius hosted the Diocesan meeting at Cross Plains last month. The council was represented by DGK LaBerge, Treasurer Leo Warren, and PD Stiner.
