The new organizer of the

more vendors, attracting
customers and looking
for funding by the May

city in January for a person

one was organizing this
year and she could take
over if she wanted. Cassis
accepted the offer immedi-
ately.
The work and expense
of holding a farmers mar-
ket has proven to be much
more than she expected,
especially since she dis-
covered the previous orga-
nizer had lost the vendor
list, meaning she had to
start over.
Plus, with no market
last year, she has had to
scramble to persuade ven-
dors it will be a good event.
The market hasnt been
really active for at least a
year or more, Cassis said.
There is no reputation for
people to spend $200 for
the summer to have a tent
on the market.

The new teams were
created last year when the

that changed the power of
site councils, most notably
restricting their ability to
approve site budgets and
refocusing them on student
outcomes. While adminis-
trators and board members
have said they dont want
each school to be cook-
ie-cutter, they also wanted
to create more of an umbrel-

under after two decades of

which have replaced site
councils as groups at each
school that will help deter-
mine priorities in and out
of the classroom.
Instead, board members
requested quarterly reports
from the teams to keep
them updated on progress
throughout the year and
ensure they are aware of
the top priorities at each
school.
I just want to make sure
theres an understanding
of what information (the
board is) getting when,
said Meredith Stier Chris-
tensen. Having that
cleared up at the outset
will make everybody much
happier as we go.
The teams will also pro-
vide a more detailed annu-
al report.
Agreement on the
reporting process came
after administrators rec-
ommended board mem-
bers be open to invitations
from the teams when its
appropriate, rather than
regular members.
Theres a fewer number
of you guys and to cover
ber Renee Zook pointed to
a pair of nearby districts,
Oregon and Brown Deer,
as examples for develop-
ing new reports from each
school to the board.
I understand theres
going to be a different fla-
vor at each building site,
but there still are some
consistencies we need to
have across our district,
Zook said.
The committee also dis-
cussed how much of a time
commitment the teams will
be for staff and parents and
compensation for those
sitting on the teams, to
which superintendent Dean
Gorrell said there was not
agreement internally.
The teams are expected
to help guide their schools
priorities in the classroom,
while also helping the
board with its long-term
planning.
The board could begin
discussing the policies as
soon as its May 1 meeting.

Hometown Circle complex nearly full

Arbys, AT&T, Jimmy
Johns new to Verona
AMBER LEVENHAGEN
Unified Newspaper Group
The corridor along
East Verona Avenue is a
near-constant source of
construction these days.
While its mostly restau-
rants being added, a strip
mall that opened in 2014
also offered a pair of non-
food opportunities with
a U.S. Cellular store and
Great Clips to join its two
restaurants and a frozen
yogurt shop.
Two years later, a simi-
lar building has opened
though it houses just two
food-related shops next
door at 631 Hometown Cir-
cle and is nearing comple-
tion.
Arbys, AT&T and Jimmy
Johns all opened near the
end of 2016, and a Verona
Nails Salon is expected to
open later this year.
T h e ow n e r s o f b o t h
Arbys and Jimmy Johns
are all Verona residents, and
Jimmy Johns owner Jamie
Buggs said he is excit-
ed about working close to
home.
I live in Verona, and
now I work here, too, so it
has been working out pretty
great, he said.
Arbys
Mike and Jennifer Bright-
felder, Verona residents for
more than 15 years, are not
new to the restaurant busi-
ness.
The couple dove into the
industry in the 1990s and
now own 10 of the 3,300
Arbys restaurants nation-
wide nine in the Madison
area and one in Dubuque.
The Verona location opened
in September.
Arbys is a fast food

kinds of deli meats that
Mike said are sliced fresh
every day.
The company recently
rolled out a new inspired
design store layout that
allows customers to be
more interactive with the
food preparation process.
Customers ordering at the
counter are able to see the
deli slicer just behind the
register, where the meats
are sliced and prepared
almost directly in front of
them.
We r e n ow a b l e t o
engage with our custom-
ers so they can see how we
make the food, Mike said.
We really enjoy that trans-
parency. dients and a fast delivery
Mike started with Arbys
as a college job as an hour-
ly employee and eventual-
ly moved up to become a
partner at a franchise. The
Brightfelders then moved
off to open their own fran-
chise locations.
Similar to how Mike
started, most of the 20
employees are high school
students from the Vero-
na area, and Mike said he
enjoys working with the
younger generation.
Its a very rewarding age ed its delivery radius to
part of the community and
learn a work ethic that is
not only beneficial to them
but also our customers and
the community, he said.
Jimmy Johns
Jimmy Johns opened its
doors in Verona on Dec. 20,
but that wasnt the begin-
ning for store owner Jamie
Buggs.
The Verona resident start-
ed his ownership of the
sandwich chain by open-
ing stores in Stoughton and
Fitchburg over the past four
years.
Jimmy Johns is a fran-
chised sandwich chain that
prides itself on fresh ingre-
time. The company opened
its first restaurant in 1983
in Illinois and now the sub
sandwich chain has more
than 2,500 locations in 46
states, according to its web-
site.
Though its only been
open about four months,
the store has already made
a change that it hopes will
be good news for Epic
employees.
Buggs told the Press that
last week the store expand-
currently employed by asso-
than the companys typical
1.5-mile zone.
And even though their
delivery radius has grown,
Buggs said customers can
still expect sandwiches to
be delivered freaky fast
because the restaurant
typically has around 12
employees working during
the lunch rush.
Because of the demand
coming from the Epic cam-
pus, it was a common-sense
decision even though it took
a lot of work with the cor-
porate policy, Buggs said.
But were excited to bring
a variety to Epic and other
outlying customers.
AT&T
Considered an Autho-
rized Retail Store, AT&T
opened in Verona late last
year.
The technology con-
glomerate first opened in
1983 in Delaware and cur-
rently services North and
South America. AT&T is
the second largest provider
of mobile telephone ser-
vices in the United States,
according to a study by
Leichtman Research Group.

The kids were creative; communication,
not so much.
In the second round this spring, which
8:00AM - 4:00PM 8:00AM - 2:00PM Huttner did with another classroom, she
added a Shark Tank component. Based
on the hit television show in which
inventors try to woo investors, it offered
another opportunity for students to pres-

There was still one thing missing: The

Their end thoughts were always If I

At times, Huttner honestly was
unsure whether some of the groups
would have a product to show by the
deadline.
Its really hard not to step in and try
to provide them solutions, she said.
By the time they bused to the senior
center, each group had something to
present. And that trip out to the com-
munity to show off their hard work was
meaningful, Huttner said, even if atten-
dance was limited.

Teachers from Sugar Creek
Elementary School have their
students follow a similar work-
flow to those at SP, with inqui-
ry questions, research, a project
and presentation. An email from
teachers JoBeth Kroetz, Casson-
dra Lee and Jen Maier said the
process allows students to feel
empowered because they can
direct their own learning jour-
ney.
Students there can choose to
work with a partner, alone or in
a small group.
Thats similar to Country
View Elementary School, where
educational technology coordi-
nator Karie Huttner who is in
the same position at SP has
had students working as individ-
uals in the latest version, though
she hopes to develop teams
again, as well.
Each school, each group of
kids, it changes based on where
they take it, Huttner said.

Largent singles in 11th for walk-off against East
ANTHONY IOZZO
Assistant sports editor
The Verona Area High School baseball
team is now 3-0 in extra-inning games after
some more late-inning heroics Friday against
Madison East at Stampfl Field.
With the game knotted up at 2-2 in the
bottom of the 11th, Tristan Largent singled
home Tucker Teskey for the 3-2 win.
Teskey reached base on a bunt single, stole
second and advanced to third on a groundout
before Largent knocked him in.
The game was scoreless all the way to the
ninth when Madison East scored twice. But
the Wildcats battled back with two runs in the
bottom of the inning to stay alive.
Noah Anderson singled, and Tyler
McClure and Teskey walked to load the
bases. McGowan followed with a walk, and
Largent was hit by a pitch to bring Anderson
and McClure home.
But Verona stranded the bases loaded with
one out to remain tied.
Brad Laufenberg earned the win. He
allowed a hit and a walk in two innings, strik-
ing out two. Jeff Bishop started and allowed
two earned runs on three hits and two walks
in nine innings, striking out five.
Jacob Slonim (2-for-5), Teskey (2-for-4),
Largent (2-for-5) and Anderson (2-for-5) all
had multiple hits.
Arrowhead (DH)
The Wildcats hosted Hartland Arrowhead
for a doubleheader Saturday and dropped
both games, 12-2 and 6-5.
Luke Frahm and Laufenberg scored the

double.
Grant Kelliher took the loss. He allowed
five earned runs on five hits and three walks
in 3 1/3 innings, striking out two. Brandon

Cats score first but end in Verona drops doubleheader against Craig JEREMY JONES

a tie against Mount Horeb

Sports editor

Verona softball slipped

ANTHONY IOZZO
Assistant sports editor
Getting the offense going
has been a priority for the
Verona Area High School
girls soccer team last week
since coming up empty in
a scoreless tie with Oregon
the week before.
After scoring 10 goals
against Janesville Park-
er and five against Beloit
Memorial, the Wildcats had
a tougher challenge against
Mount Horeb on Saturday
at Reddan Soccer Park.
Verona scored in the first
two minutes, but Mount
Horeb, ranked sixth in Divi-
sion 3, dominated posses-
sion in a 1-1 tie.
The Vikings had eight
shots on goal in the first
half, all stopped by Verona
junior Rachel Nelson, who
finished with 10 saves.
The Wildcats only shot
on goal in the half was the
teams only score from
junior Chandler Bainbridge
after a corner by senior
Kate Melin found Bain-
bridge in a crowded penalty
box. Bainbridge knocked
the ball in amidst some cha-
os at 1:20, but that was the
only time Verona found the
back of the net.
It is always great to
score so early, and it is also
dangerous to score so ear-
ly because it is a long time
to try and defend the lead,
coach Jen Faulkner said.
We cant quit on those sit-
uations. We have to contin-
ue to build a couple more
before we start to possess a
little better.
From there, it was all
M o u n t H o r e b. B u t t h e
defense did enough to force
long shots that Nelson easi-
ly saved, and Nelson made
a couple of diving stops, as
well, including a corner ball
from senior Ellie Hutchin-
son to senior Sydney King
that was headed toward the
net.
The ball knuckled off the
ground and switched direc-
tions, but Nelson stayed
with the ball and made the
stop to keep it 1-0 at half-
time.
The Vikings continued
to possess the ball in the
second half with several
more opportunities. Mount
Horeb controlled midfield
and stole or stopped sev-
eral passes by Verona and
quickly countered back
down field with numbers.
That eventually led to

two shots saved by sopho-
more Grace Droessler, and
Quade had an opportunity
in front of Droessler, who
stopped that shot and fin-
ished with five saves.

the net for another scoring
chance.
Faulkner said what
changed in the last few
minutes (and after the first
three minutes) was the girls
didnt play with the same
intensity and grit. To put a
full 90 minutes together,
she said, the Wildcats will
need to win more battles to
the ball.
We were second to a lot
of balls, so we have to win
balls in our middle and then
we have to keep it, she
said. We have to defend all
the way up and down the
field instead of just the back
third.
And while the defense
made plays throughout the
game, the back line also
made mistakes, includ-
ing the foul that led to the
equalizer.
