Fortunately, the $10.6

Farm toy show Sunday

Kate Newton
It may still be premature to look ahead to spring,

but the return of the annual
Greater Madison Area Farm
Toy Show Sunday hints that
greener pastures are just
around the corner.
The show will feature
around 180 tables of farm toy
dealers from across the Midwest from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Sunday in the Verona Area
High School gymnasium,
300 Richard St. Admission is
$3, while kids 10 and under
are free.
The Verona FFA Alumni
affiliate will host the show,
and a portion of the proceeds
from admission and concessions will support college
scholarships for members of
the VAHS FFA chapter and
the Verona Agriculture Education program. Meant as a
way to connect citizens of
Verona with their agrarian past in the face of rapid
growth and development in
the city, according to a press
release, the first show was
held in 1988 in the VAHS K
Wing, and changed locations

in the late 90s.

A bid document for the

historic Matts house got
little commentary and no
changes from the Common
Council Monday.
The seven-page request
for proposals will be published and sent out to as
many potentially interested parties as the city
can find this week, and it
has a deadline of March
11 (with an expected decision date in April). Alders
spent more time discussing all the potential developers and builders who
might be interested in
rehabilitating the oldest
house in Verona than any
changes to the RFP.
The document lists the
goals of the project as
improving the downtown
and maintaining its historic character, and notes that
there could be a restriction
on demolition, as well as a
right of refusal on future
sales.
Six months after the
alders outwardly stated
they saw no hope in preserving the more than
160-year-old building,
there has already been
competition to restore it.
However, one of the two
competing interests, the
Verona Area Historical
Society, might very well
step back out of the project and attempt to participate as a consultant
instead.

New rule requires signs
Recent public complaints about proposed development and requests to alert more people earlier have
resulted in a change in city ordinances.
A zoning text amendment passed Monday by the
Common Council will require signs to be posted at
the site of any development subject to a public hearing before the Plan Commission.
The signs have yet to be designed, but theyll be
about two feet by two feet under most circumstances.
The concept came from the zoning rules in Oconomowoc, where city planning director Adam Sayre had
spent several years before coming to Verona.
Ald. Luke Diaz (Dist. 3) last year pushed for the
expanded notification, which initially considered
spreading out public notices farther than the 200 feet
away under current rules. But the Plan Commission
came to the consensus that posting signs would reach
more interested people with less effort, and the council unanimously agreed to the rule change.
Walgreens denied
The city rejected a claim of excessive assessment
by Walgreens, which contends its building is significantly overvalued.
Lawsuits and claims by the company against cities
for excess assessment have been common over the
past several years, and in fact, the city has dealt with
multiple actions from Walgreens recently. In 2012,
the company prevailed in a suit against the city and
the two sides agreed on a $2.8 million assessed value.
Walgreens now claims the buildings value is no
more than $2 million.
Yes, you did hear that correctly, Ald. Mac McGilvray (Dist. 1) said in making the motion to deny. We
had an agreed assessed value.
Mayor Jon Hochkammer noted, Its something
Walgreens has been doing around the state. The village of Oregon, in fact, settled a claim with the company Monday as well.

The Town of Verona is

waiting for bids on its new
Town Hall and road construction for 2016. The
Town Board approved going
out to bid for those items at
its Feb. 2 meeting.
The 2016 road construction includes Goose Lake
Drive, Horseshoe Bend and
Sunset Drive, town administrator Amanda Arnold said.
The projects will involve
grinding up the roadway,
adding millings, pulverizing
and then paving.
Its kind of a way of
doing a reconstruction thats
not a full dig out the road
and (then) reconstruct,
Arnold said.
The costs for the projects
are expected to come at the
boards April meeting.
The proposed new Town
Hall, which the town purchased land for in late 2014
and discussed the design of
throughout 2015, is also out
for bid.
The board voted to enter
an official agreement with
architectural firm Cuningham Group, which has
helped throughout the
design process while being
paid by Epic. Arnold said
given the extra work that
is required for government
buildings going out to bid,
it was time for the town to
take over responsibility on
that.
The deadline for bids is
Wednesday, March 2, and
there will pre-bid meeting on the project at 2 p.m.
Wednesday, Feb. 17. The

new building will be located
at 7685 County Hwy. PD

night shortly after the

meeting stating that he no
longer recommended the
group attempt to preserve
the building by itself.
Despite the group having gotten a $50,000
pledge from a former
Verona business owne r t o r e h a b t h e b u i l ding, Charles stated that
experts have showed him
how the project is likely
to be more complicated
than he thought, and combined with the difficulty of
maintaining the building
indefinitely and fundraising while fixing, he was
content with watching the
RFP process unfold, rather
than being a part of it.
Charles referred to Troy
Rost, a Verona resident
who had proposed a commercial alternative similar
to other historical renovation projects hes undertaken in the area, and
wrote that Rost has the
best chance of keeping the
house salient.
The bid process will
include interviews with
prospective developers,
and the proposals will
need to include a description of prior experience
with similar projects,
an estimate of costs and
evidence of the ability to
finance it.
The most feasible proposal that fits with the
citys vision will be shortlisted based on the above
criteria, it states.

Theres more help for

college than you think
A
lmost immediately following the joy and excitement

of having your first child,
the anxiety sets in.
Is he warm enough? Eating
enough? Sleeping on the right
side? Every
day is a mix of
emotions as you
watch that little
person grow and
develop his or
her own personality and independence.
To me there
Arndt
is no greater
joy than being
a parent, and there is no greater
worry than those you have about
their well-being. I think the author
Elizabeth Stone summed it up best
when she said that becoming a parent is to decide forever to have
your heart go walking around outside your body.
While many of the worries that
parents face are immediate, there
are also long-term concerns that
we fret about during our sleepless
nights, not the least of which is
thinking about how their college
education is going to be paid for.
Let me start by saying that not
all kids go to college, and I dont
always think that is a bad thing.
College is, quite frankly, expensive, and if the childs career interests are in something that provides
its own educational path, like the
military for example, then the need
for a bachelors degree may not be
a foregone conclusion.
Additionally, there are a number
of excellent professions that can
be prepared for with an associates
degree or a skilled apprenticeship program, both of which can
be much more cost-effective than
a traditional college bachelors
degree.
All of that being said, the reality is that at least 90 percent of
the people that come to see me
fully expect their child to get at
least a bachelors degree. I may
write a future article about making
cost effective education choices
and alternatives to college, but
for today, lets talk about how
to pay for a traditional four year
bachelors degree.
There are ways to pay for college can be broadly categorized
as scholarships, financial aid,
employer assistance, tax incentives, savings, loans and payas-you-go. While I could write
extensively about each of these, Ill
endeavor to touch on the highlights
of the less-discussed options for
now.
Scholarships are something that
too often get ignored by families as
they assume, often incorrectly, that
their child wont be a good candidate for them. While Ive written
in the past about how difficult it is
to obtain an athletic scholarship,
those are just the tip of the iceberg.
Many civic organizations and
foundations offer scholarships on a
local level that can often be applied
for with assistance from the high
school. Additionally, many national organizations, both charitable
and for profit, offer scholarships.
I won scholarships from both the
Wisconsin Grocers Association
after seeing a flier at the grocery
store where I worked, and from
Tylenol after filling out an application my grandma picked up from a
rebate counter. True story.
Some scholarships are awarded
purely on academic achievement
or merit, but others prioritize the
field of study the student is going
into, where the child resides or
some other demographic like
ancestral heritage or organizations family members have been
involved with.
The bottom line is, dont
assume scholarships arent an
option. Do your research starting with your local school guidance department, but not limiting
yourself there and then make the
effort to apply.
While scholarships are considered a type of financial aid, there
are a number of other types available. Like scholarships, grants
dont have to be repaid, but grants
are generally awarded by either the
government or the college directly
and are typically based upon financial need.
The best starting place for looking into grants is often the financial
aid office at the university that the
child will be attending, and will

likely involve completing a Free
Application for Federal Student
Aid (FAFSA).
In addition to providing grants,
the federal government has a number of tax incentives available to
help offset the cost of college. The
American Opportunity Tax Credit
and the Lifetime Learning Credit
both offer a direct reduction of
income taxes and can be refundable.
While there are income limits,
those eligible can literally receive
up to a few thousand dollars of tax
credits for every year in school,
money that can be used to repay
prior costs or to help pay for the
upcoming year.
Some employers assist with the
cost of college, typically for existing employees obtaining additional
work-related education, but sometimes as a benefit that can apply to
the children of employees.
Like other less common
employer benefits, many people
dont realize that education assistance is available to them, so
make sure that you read the benefit information that your employer
provides.
Completing qualifying military
service under one of the G.I. bill
programs can also provide for education funding. See
military.com for more information.
Chances are that even after
factoring in education tax credits,
grants and any scholarships or
employer assistance that your child
receives, there will still be a significant balance due. This can either
be paid for by saving money in
advance, out of current cash flow
or using loans that allow the cost to
be paid for in the future.
In my next column, Ill discuss
savings options, loan programs
and some of the newer loan forgiveness programs that have been
developed.

Camaraderie, served cold

During Wisconsins
winter months, the effectiveness of charity plunge
events seems like a nobrainer: Nature provides the
stage, donors chip in, and
all participants need to do is
take the leap.
Verona residents will
have two chances to do just
that Saturday during the
Wisconsin Winter Plunge
from noon to 4 p.m. in Lake
Waubesa at Christys Landing, 2952 Waubesa Ave., in
Madison, or at the Special
Olympics Wisconsin Polar
Plunge from 9:30 a.m. to
3 p.m. at Willow Island at
the Alliant Energy Center,
1919 Alliant Energy Center
Way.
While the Polar Plunge
has taken place in Madison
annually since 1999, the
Winter Plunge is returning
for its second year. Rebecca
Compton-Allen, the front
ensemble coordinator for
the Oregon-based Shadow
Drum and Bugle Corps,
helped create and organize
the event to help nonprofit
organizations raise money
for their own specific cause.
In a phone interview with
the Observer, ComptonAllen said that while the
Polar Plunge is a great
event, they wanted to offer
an opportunity for organizations to plunge for what
they feel most passionate
about while not having
to invest a lot of time into
organizing their own fundraiser.
Each team keeps 70
percent of the funds they
raise, while 30 percent
goes towards putting on the
event, which is organized
by Shadow volunteers. Last
year, the two participating
teams raised $13,000; as of
the Press Tuesday deadline, seven teams had raised
nearly $18,000 of a $25,000
goal.

School raised $32,000 that
year, according to Graber,
and had 226 plungers. This
year, however, VAHS and
another frequent participator, the Verona Police
Department, wont make
appearances.
Teams come and go,
and our numbers do that as
well, Graber added.
A team from Epic, which
raised nearly $8,000 in
2011, had raised just over
Ridge State Trail, Badger

State Trail, US Highway
12 Side path, Cannonball
Path and the Ice Age Junction Trail, according to the
press release, adding that
with the growth in facilities comes the need to
ensure that bicyclists can
easily navigate the bicycle
network.
Bicycle wayfinding
assists those unfamiliar with an area, provides
guidance along routes that
are not intuitive and can
provide encouragement to
ride to destinations such
as county and local parks,
business areas and cultural
attractions.

according to JoEllen Graber, the organizations
director of development.
Verona teams led a

Bicycle paths are growing in size and number

throughout Dane County,
and officials are hoping
to find out the best ways
to help make them safe.
People will get a chance
to both listen to the latest
plans and offer their opinions at a listening session
Monday night on a proposed county-wide sign
system for bike paths.
According to a press
release Friday, Dane
County Parks and the
Madison Area Transportation Planning Board
are developing a countywide Bicycle Wayfinding Manual to provide
guidelines for designing
and implementing a uniform wayfinding and destination sign system for
the fast-growing Dane
County bicycle network.
At a 7 p.m. meeting Monday night at the Lussier
Family Heritage Center in
Madison, staff from both
groups will present an
overview of the draft manual and collect feedback.
Dane County communities have substantially
expanded their local networks of shared use paths

Be True to Yourself
Every person is a unique individual with his or her own specific talents, desires and sense of the world. Even identical
twins reflect this truth, and although they may appear to be
identical at birth, it rapidly becomes evident that they are not
mirror images of each other, and as they grow they each
carve out their own personal identity. The task of becoming
who we are is difficult because we have the freedom and
the ability to develop our talents within a fairly broad range.
We may be musically or athletically inclined, but neither of
these inclinations tells us which instrument or sport will be
ideal for us. It is up to us to choose. Likewise, our sense
of the meaning and purpose of lifeincluding our overall
worldviewcan be satisfied with a variety of philosophies or
religions, and ultimately we have to choose which one fits us
best. This task of becoming who we are is thankfully a task to
fill a lifetime. It will take most of us our entire life to get it all
figured out. The great American philosopher and psychologist William James lamented late in his life that the great
tragedy of life was that when weve finally got it figured out,
its just about over. But isnt that exactly whats great about
life? Its big and grand enough to require a long and full life
to work it out, and even at the end, well still be left with a
sense of wonder.

Epics cafeterias, but never served.

The menu will generally include
soup and salad, pasta or rice, a
chicken, pork or beef dish, a vegetarian selection, fresh baked bread,
a dessert and a drink.
No reservations are required, and
there is seating in BPNNs community room for up to 70 at a time.
People can also bring their own
containers between 12:30-1 p.m.
to take home leftovers as they are
available.
The new meal program supports
BPNNs mission to end hunger and
generational poverty, said Prairie
Kitchen coordinator Marcia Kasieta.
(It) combats hunger by filling
the weekend food gap with a hearty
lunch when school lunches and
senior programs are not available
(and) provides a place where people of all socioeconomic and ethnic
backgrounds, young and old, from
Fitchburg and Verona, can gather
to share a meal and get to know one
another, she said in an email to the
Press.
Plus, instead of food being tossed
in a garbage can, it can help fill
the stomachs of those who need it
most.
BPNN has also recently partnered with other organizations in
the community to support these
efforts, Kasieta said. Whole Foods
donates food rescue items, Placon
in Fitchburg provides food-safe
containers, and the UW-Hospital
and Clinics have helped furnished
BPNNs dining room and donated
tools and equipment for the kitchen.

sites, there often wasnt much time
between when it was put out for
patrons and the consume by date,
she said.
But about a month ago, Epics
sharp thinkers and BPNNs fastacting volunteers found a potential
solution to this comestible conundrum.
(Epic is) now bringing a large
load of food directly to BPNN on
Friday afternoons, which BPNN
volunteers are packaging that night
and are able to make available to
pantry patrons beginning on Saturday, Nicholas said.
Ready-to-eat food has a shelf
life of just four days from the date
of delivery, Kasieta explained, so

when BPNN and Epic came up
with the initial idea, it was still a
challenge to disperse all of Epics
700 pounds of donated food to families before it went bad. To get the
food off the shelves more quickly
so the rescued food wouldnt be
wasted, the Prairie Kitchen Meals
program was formed.
BPNN and Epic volunteers
agreed to use a portion of the food
donated to start a meal site and
share the bounty with the entire
community, Kasieta said.

And the food served isnt exactly
run-of-the-mill. Recent offerings
have included a Greek pastry called
spanakopita, Cornish game hen and
Cuban ham.
Epic is gourmet. They make
some really interesting food, nutritious food and very tasty, Kasieta
said in an interview with FACTv.
Its food that was prepared during
the week and then refrigerated and
kept pristine through the week.
Epic did not respond to requests
for comment as of Tuesday afternoon.
The kitchen and community
room arent the only spaces in
BPNNs new building at 1200
E. Verona Ave. being utilized on
Saturdays. The food pantry will
be open from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.,
the childrens play room will be
staffed, and other activities will be
going on depending on the week,
such as computer classes that run
from 9-11 a.m., voter registration,
family photos and live music.
Interested groups and individuals
are encouraged to volunteer during the Friday night food packaging and Saturday meal site projects.
BPNN is also looking for donations, such as dishes, buffet equipment, paper products and signage,
as well as a sponsor for coffee and
other beverages.

Station: Workmanship errors, communication issues cited for delay of project

elaborated for the Verona Press
after the meeting. Items ranged
from uneven or porous floors that
could cost many thousands of dollars to fix, to unsightly issues like
a cigarette butt sealed into a floor
area, razor scratches on windows
where concrete and other work
substances had to be removed and
carpet soiled while a ceiling was
still being constructed overhead.
Giver insisted that the contractors will not be paid until the
punch list items are fixed. That
demand has had little effect on the
process, however, and his frustration with the unprofessional nature
of the contract work bled over to
the council.
Ald. Luke Diaz (Dist. 3) said
the city should undertake a cause
analysis, something Giver and
city administrator Bill Burns had
already begun to do informally.
Ald. Evan Touchett (D-4) wondered aloud whether the effort of

the 2014 Common Council to cut
costs and keep it under budget
might have contributed.
Im really disappointed to say
the least, he said. Our fire station is a very expensive building.
Ald. Mac McGilvray (D-1), a
builder by trade, pointed out that
the construction manager the city
hired, Tri-North Builders of Fitchburg, got a substantial fee (more
than $500,000 overall), and after
some back-and-forth with Giver
on the subject, they concluded that
most of the problems occurred
near the end, when the construction manager wasnt on site as
often.
I all of a sudden became the
superintendent, Giver said.
They also pointed the finger
more than once at Findorff, which
took two of the larger contracts,
for steel ($283,000) and concrete
($588,000).
A big part of the problem, Burns
pointed out, was a six-week delay
in receiving steel because of an
overwhelmed steel subcontractor that has since gone bankrupt.
That threw off the construction
timeline and erased the advantages
that came with running two separate sets of bids something that
might have further complicated an
already complex project with 23
individual building contracts.
And with the department always
intending to move into the new
building before it was finished,
and therefore in the way, its been
difficult to fix the mistakes.
Were partially to blame, Giver conceded.
In other situations, the fix isnt
simple because of the nature of
the work. With in-floor heat, for
example, the city cant ask contractors to tear out the floors, so
it will have to find a way to patch
up spots that have caused water to

soak into the supposedly sealed
concrete.
Burns also noted that everyone he has spoken with about
recent similar-sized municipal
projects has had issues. And its
notable that concrete and steel,
among other things, have been
harder to find contractors for in
the past couple of years during the
states $175 million Verona Road
project.
Burns and Giver also cited communication issues and missing
design elements, such as forgotten
antenna mounts and missing snow
guards.
And when finishing elements
of the station ran over the original
project timeline, the busy contractors had to abandon the jobs to
work on other scheduled projects.
The complexity of Veronas
project was the result of the citys
choice of project management,
which involved hiring an outside

construction manager (or superintendent) to supervise the work of
all contractors. Previous projects
hired a single general contractor
and left oversight to staff, which
ate up a large amount of their time.
One potential solution in the
future, it was suggested, might be
hiring a general contractor with a
project manager to oversee, something that would cost extra but
improve accountability.
In any case, Ald. Jack Linder
(D-2) suggested, the city should
file this information away to pass
on for the next time it takes on a
big project.
In the meantime, alders agreed
staff should work with contractors
to come up with a date certain
when all work must be complete,
and if the deadline isnt met, the
city will pursue use of the contractors bonds to hire other companies to finish the work.

Schmitz now third alltime on VAHS scoring list

Anthony Iozzo
Assistant sports editor
Senior Cole Schmitz has

had a special four years
playing varsity for the
Verona Area High School
boys basketball team, and
he can still add to his Wildcat legacy with five regular
season games and at least
one WIAA Division 1 tournament game left in his
career.
Schmitz reached 1,000
points on Dec. 17 when he
scored 29 against Beloit
Memorial, and he now
stands at 1,202 points only
trailing graduates Jason
Schuetz (1,515, 1988-1991)
and Jason Ziemer (1,357,
2006-2009) on the all-time
scoring list for VAHS.
It is amazing how coach
Buss trusted me since I was
a freshman. I couldnt have
the success without his
help, Schmitz said. It has
been a great four years, and
we still have a lot to prove
this year.
It is not often that a player can reach the numbers
Schmitz has because not
many freshman are good
enough to play on varsity.
In Schmitzs first two years,
he was a role player with
the potential to be more of
a leader.
Despite not being called
upon to be the guy until this
season, the previous three
years showed signs of his
versatility. There wasnt as
much of a need for him to
be the No. 1 leader as graduates Will Kellerman, John
Tackett and Jake Toman
filled that role the past few
years, but Schmitz saw a
void this season and jumped
at the opportunity.

Cole Schmitz now
sits at third all-time
in scoring in Verona

history with 1,202.
Here is the point

Junior (2014-15): 338

six games left for Schmitz this

if the Wildcats win in the
postseason.
It was great to have great

leaders for my team in front
of me. To see how they do
things and really being able
to implement that and take
on more of a leadership
role has been great for me,
Schmitz said.
He also leads the Wildcats in rebounds with 125
and is currently tied with
Madison Easts Deang
Deang for third in the Big

Eight Conference game at Verona Area High School. The three combined for 64 points for the third-ranked Wildcats.

Third-ranked Verona
beats top-ranked
Middleton, 73-56
Anthony Iozzo
It was apparent after the

third 3-pointer of senior
Cheyenne Trilling on Tuesday that this was going to
be the third-ranked Verona
Area High School girls basketball squads night.
Trillings shooting from
the outside allowed seniors
Grace Mueller and Kira
Opsal to get going in the
post, and the defense did
the rest in a 73-56 win over
top-ranked Middleton.
When we came out, we
came out with a lot of intensity and played with a ton
of emotion, Trilling said.

That was key to this win.
Trilling ended up with
a career-high 23 points ,
while Mueller and Opsal
added 21 and 20 points,
respectively for the host
Wildcats (17-2 overall,
15-1 Big Eight Conference).
The only other Verona
girl to score was junior
Alex Luehring, who finished with nine points.
They wanted the
rematch. They were ready.
They were focused coming into it, and they really
played tough head coach
Angie Mueller said. I am
just really proud of them
and how they handled the
pressure.
Trilling scored 17 points
in the first half, including

four 3-pointers, and that
helped the Wildcats jump
out to a 36-26 lead at halftime over Middleton (16-3,
14-1).
A 3-pointer by
sophomore Claire Staples

pulled the Cardinals back
to a six-point deficit in the
second half, 42-36. But that
was the closest they would
come.
Even when Trilling
missed a 3-point attempt in
the second half, she grabbed
her own rebound and quickly passed to Mueller on the
inside for a bucket.
Opsal followed with a
basket and two free throws,
and Verona was well on its
way to the top of the conference with a 55-41 lead.
It was great we had the
post scoring and the guards
scoring because that is what
helped us come out with the
win, Trilling said.

to finish in the top four at
the Big 8 Conference meet
for the eighth straight year
with 275 points.
Every swimmer in our
conference taper group had
season-best times in every
individual event, which is
our goal for every swimmer competing in their final
meet of the season, head
coach Bill Wuerger said.
Madison Memorial once
again dominated the meet
to sport more than a 100
point lead over runnerup Madison West, 627.5524.5. It was the Spartans
21st conference title in the
past 23 year.
Middleton (418.5) rounded out the top three.
Senior Preston Vesely
surprised everyone in his
final conference meet,
moving up from seventh to
second in the 200 IM with

a drop of 13 seconds from
earlier this season. His time
of 2 minutes, 2.11 seconds
was second only to Madison Memorial senior Rory
Sanchez (1:59.33).
Vesely later added a
sixth-place finish in the 100
butterfly (54.68).
VA/MH opened the meet
with Bryce Angaran, Bryce
Hoppe, Shane Rozeboom
and Vesely taking third
place in the 200 medley
relay with a time of 1:40.03
behind the team of Madison
West (1:38.81) and Memorial (1:39.87).
Angaran went on to add
the Wildcats second best
individual finish on the 100
backstroke with a time of
54.94 for fourth place.
Jacob Wellnitz posted
a sixth-place finish in the
200 free (1:48.95) and 500
free (5:02.67). Angaran
(49.4) and Hoppe (1:03.73)

matched the finish in the
100 free and 100 breaststroke, respectively, while
Zeke Sebastian finished
seventh in the 500 free.
Angaran, Rozeboom,
Sebastian and Wellnitz
capped the meet with a
fourth-place finish on the
400 free (3:19.82), while
Vesely, Hoppe, Rozeboom
and Wellnitz came away in
fifth place in the 200 free
relay (1:30.49).
Senior Magnus Kittleson
had the best meet of his life,
dropping six seconds in the
200 free, 12 seconds in the
500 free and 0.7 seconds on
his 50 free leg of the 200
free relay. All were lifetime
bests and all beat his endof-season goal times.
Kittleson moved up from
being seeded 21st to 15th
in the 500 free and earned
a varsity letter for the first
time.
Torbin Kittleson dropped
five seconds and made his
end-of-season goal time in
100 breast. Bryan Touchett
made his end-of-season 50
free goal time on the final
leg of the 200 medley relay,
and Hoppe made his third

Boys hockey
Big 8 title comes down to Thursday

Jeremy Jones
After squandering an opportunity to

win the title outright, the Verona boys
hockey team won a pair of Big Eight
Conference games last week, to giving
themselves a chance to earn a share of
the title Thursday in Middleton.
Winning conference and putting a
banner on the wall is a goal every year,
Wildcats head coach Joel Marshall said.
The ultimate goal (state) is still a couple weeks away, but this goal is right in
front of us.
Verona 2, Sun Prairie 0

Graham Sticha scored a power-play
goal Friday inside the Verona Ice Arena
less than four minutes into the first period and it was all that Wildcats needed.
Zach Ritter added an even-strength
insurance goal 12 minutes into the third
period and senior Nathan Cleghorn
posted 25 saves for a 2-0 Big Eight Conference shutout. It was Cleghorns first
shutout of the season.
Defenseman Zach Lanz recorded
his first point since sustaining an injury
against Middleton, helping set up Ritters goal.
Verona improved to 13-8-1 overall
and 9-3-0 in the Big Eight with the victory.
Max Hankard, Jake Keyes and Josh
Novotny also picked up assists.
Sam Dunn stopped 37 of 39 shots on
goal for the Cardinals, who fell to with
the loss.
Senior Alex Jones makes one of his 19 saves Tuesday evening, stopping Beloit
Memorials Nate Polglaze in the second period. Jones and the Wildcats won the game 6-1
to set up a first-place showdown at Middleton on Thursday.
Verona senior goaltender Alex Jones

only needed 19 saves to earn the win as
his offensive ranked up plenty of offense
in a 6-1 victory over the Purple Knights.
It hasnt really hit me yet that tonight
was my final regular season game ever
in Verona. I think that will start setting in
a little tonight when we are upstairs celebrating, Jones said.
Junior Jacob Keyes scored twice and
assisted on another, while Jeff Bishop,
Noah Mauer and Lanz all had a goal and

season and against them the first time,
Jones said.

about their playoff fate last weekend,

The Metro Lynx and
fifth-ranked Hudson
exchanged early-second
period goals Saturday
inside the Madison Ice
Arena, but it was the visiting Raiders that took control midway through the
period on their way to a 4-1
victory.
Hudson struck first 11
seconds into the second
period only to watch Verona native McKenzie Imhoff
answer for the Metro Lynx
less than a minute later.
While a Dani Robson
goal six-and-a-half minutes
later helped the Raiders
regain the lead, it certainly
wasnt an insurmountable
deficit.
Anna Wilgren helped ice

Hudson.
I thought that we played
really well and had a bunch
of really good chances
to score throughout the
game, Metro Lynx head
coach Derek Ward said.
Wilgren really gave us
fits. She had three goals
and she was really the
only one that we struggled
with.
Cassie Shultz helped the
lead hold up, stopping 23
of 24 shots on goal by the
Metro Lynx. Gwen Parker
turned away 26 of 30 shots
she faced in the loss.

It has been an up-and-down

season for the Verona Area
High School boys basketball
team, but the past few weeks
have started to show some
steady improvement especially with defense and shot
selection, head coach Alan
Buss said.
Fridays 70-53 win at
Janesville Parker moved the
Wildcats to 7-10 overall (6-7
Big Eight), and like the previous weeks win over Middleton, the defense was the catalyst.
I thought we came out and
established ourselves defensively. Probably Middleton
was the other game we made
that kind of commitment,
Buss said. (Parker) only had
six points 10 minutes into the
first half. We established ourselves early, and although we
didnt build a huge lead, it
got to seven or eight points. It
started because of our defense.
On the other end of the
floor, I thought our shot selections was good. It isnt just
how you defend. It is the shot
selection at the other end of
the floor.
Buss added that in previous struggles, the shot selection was one of the factors that
allowed other teams to score
in transition due to quick, poor
shots. But that was not the
case Friday.

really valuable for us, head
coach Alan Buss said. It
has been fun to watch him
the last four years in terms
of how he has grown up and
developed.
We have had our struggles this year, but I see a
real continued commitment
to lead, Buss added. That
is not always easy to do
especially with the ups and
downs.
Schmitz, who is going to
attend the University of Chicago to play basketball, is
well on his way to another
Big Eight All-Conference
selection, earning secondteam honors his sophomore
and junior years.
This year more than other
year, I have been able to use

my size to get a rebound so
we can get on the fast break
better, Schmitz said. Whatever I need to do, I feel it is
important for me to take on
a leadership role and do anything I can.
Now Schmitz is hoping for
more than just moving up the
all-time scoring list as Verona is starting to play better
at a crucial point of the season. Besides playing better
on defense, Schmitz said the
guys are coming together in
all facets of the game and are
starting to make more smart
decisions on the court.
If we continue to do that,
I think we can be really successful the last few weeks
and hopefully make a run to
the playoffs, he said.

Teacher appreciation night

On Friday Jan. 22, the Verona Area High School boys varsity hockey team held Teacher Appreciation Night at their home game against
Heartland Arrowhead. The event was organized to thank teachers for the positive impact they have made on the players lives. Each player
chose a teacher to invite and reflected on the common theme that respect and teamwork isnt only learned on the ice, it is learned from
role models who touch our lives every day. The evening included a welcome reception and a ceremony between periods with player and
teacher introductions.
Teachers pictured are Emily Phillippi, Doug Wadell, Michael Ray, Jaren Bailey, Erin Martin, Cory Walsh, Dustin Moench, Suzanne
Duginski-Hartjes, Carly Hasse, Kabby Hong, Andy Kruger, Jennifer Glassford, Sarah Domres, Melissa Oftedahl, Matt Tiller and Brian
Murphy. Teachers not pictured: Jim Brooks, David VanNostrand, Todd Casey, Jason Knoll, Nicholas Faus and Pete Stremlow.
Steve W. Tollefson,
57, Rockford, Ill./Verona,
passed away Friday, Jan.
22, 2016, due to complications from a two-year battle
with colon cancer.
He was born May 22,
1958, in Madison, the son of
Richard and Marly (Thurston) Tollefson. Steve was
a 1976 graduate of Verona
High School and a UW
Madison alumni. He married Sarah Brewer in Beloit,
Wis. on July 25, 1987. He
worked at Sundstrand/UTC
Aerospace Systems for 31
years as an engineer and
engineering supervisor.
Steve had a love of the
outdoors, was an avid follower of UW Madisons
sports teams as well as the
Green Bay Packers, and was

also a dedicated member
of the Community Bible
Church of Rockford. Steve
will be remembered for his
active nature, sharp intellect, sense of humor and
especially for his love for
his family.
Steve is survived by his
wife, Sarah; son, Jacob;
daughter, Liz; parents,
Marly and Richard; siblings, Mike (Jodi), Sheryl,
Michelle; and nieces and
nephews. Steve was predeceased by his older brother,
Lance.
Steves family would
like to thank all of the
friends, family, coworkers
and church family who have
supported him throughout
his battle with cancer.
A memorial service will
be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, March 12, at Zwingli
United Church of Christ
Paoli, 1338 County Highway PB, Belleville, Wis. A
celebration of life will take

Election: First election in Wisconsin to require photo IDs since primary in February 2012
have a quiet election to test
their procedures for the photo ID law before the much
larger turnout expected in
April.
Were thankful that its a
smaller election and its not
the presidential election, of
course, said City of Verona
clerk Ellen Clark.
Clerks told the Press they
were ready to implement the
law that the state Legislature
first passed in 2011.
After the 2012 spring
primary, a court-ordered
injunction prevented its
implementation for three
years. The final injunction
on the law was lifted last
March, paving the way for
this years elections, including the November presidential election, to require photo IDs in Wisconsin.
Weve been talking

about it for quite awhile,
said Town of Verona clerk
John Wright. Its a matter of making sure we look
at the correct items on the
identification rather than the
wrong items.
Clark, who started in her
position Jan. 11, told the
Press that despite it being
her first Verona election,
shes confident that itll be
fine.
Both Clark and Wright
said they provided training to their poll workers to
ensure they understood what
to look for and how the law
worked. Clark added that
shes looking forward to
watching the poll workers
and learning from them her
first time running an election.
Im nervous about it,
of course, but the elections
inspectors have been here a

long time and are very well
versed, Clark said. (Deputy clerk) Holly (Licht) says
they know just what theyre
supposed to do and Im hoping thats the truth.
Acceptable identifications
include drivers licenses,
state-issued ID cards, passports and military ID cards.
Several clerks from
around the Dane County
noted that the ID law could
cause confusion among voters about what is needed
for registration and what is
needed to vote if someone is
already registered.
If a voter is registered at
his or her current address
already, all thats needed is
an acceptable photo ID with
their name, current address
or not. If the voter needs to
register, a document must
provide proof of residence.
An unexpired drivers
license with their current
address, though, could satisfy both.
If a voter does not have
the required ID on them at
the polls, they can still vote
on a provisional ballot,
but would have to return
to the clerks office before
Friday at 4 p.m. to show the
proper identification.
If they come to the poll
and theyre registered at
that poll its not an all or
nothing, Wright said. If
they show up and dont have
the ID they dont have to run
home and come right back.

acceptable forms of ID or
background on the law, visit
