More than 2,800 bikers cycled through the Loop Fest in Verona to compete in the 2017 Ironman Wisconsin triathlon. The course includes a 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike and 26.2-mile run, which offers 40 slots to the 2018 Ironman World Championship. The twoloop bike course winds through Verona, offering challenging hills and tough climbs.

Verona Area School District
A city plan that would enable discussions and eventual action on the 65-acre Legends Edge proposal to the northwest of the city is facing some stiff opposition. The development proposal came to the city in late 2016 with striking images of 100-foot-tall glass and metal apartment buildings, an upscale hotel on the water, a hockey rink and underground parking, among other things. At the new intersection of County Hwy. PD and Northern Lights, it would take advantage of being a high-traffic corridor for people on the way to and from Epic. At the time, it prompted a reaction from city
leaders that it might be too much, particularly so far from the city’s core. But the city began master planning the area to determine whether it could fit in with the surrounding land, including the Ice Age Trail and rural subdivisions, and be served by city utilities. That 732-acre Northwest Neighborhood plan – which does not by itself allow any development – went to a public hearing at the Tuesday, Sept. 5, Plan Commission meeting and had a chance to be approved Monday by the Common Council.

2018-19 calendar coming sooner Festival Foods Board: Last year’s schedule decided too late

District working on priorities for referendum construction
SCOTT GIRARD Unified Newspaper Group
The 2017-18 Verona Area School District calendar was finalized in February. And school board members want to make sure parents have more time to plan ahead for next year. “One of the largest concerns that we had last year … was that it was late,” board president Noah Roberts explained Monday while the board discussed planning the next year’s calendar. That timing was mostly related to the district considering changes to late-start Mondays, including a parent survey issued in December, which delayed the calendar committee’s recommendation and the board’s final approval.
Page 13 This year, board members said, that committee will not be established. Instead, staff members will create the “shell” for the calendar, and the board will offer final approval. “If we’re just gonna pick 180 days out of the year to schedule school, I think we can find a small committee of staff that’s capable of doing that,” said board member Amy Almond, who has served on the calendar committee in recent years. Board member Renee Zook said
The
Verona Press
she was already hearing “water cooler conversation at work” about the calendar. Superintendent Dean Gorrell emphasized to them he would still like the district to have a conversation about late-start Mondays and how they would affect teachers’ hours. By shifting those to days off during the school year, he said, they could offer opportunities for professional development or teacher-parent contact days before the school year begins. “That’s a golden time right there,” Gorrell said. “It fits hand in glove with personalized learning plans.” Some board members were interested in exploring that further, but they did not determine a mechanism for that Monday. And board member Meredith Stier Christensen said they shouldn’t try to rush it with a committee yet.

Yeah, we can do that.
The overall topic has been raised before in regards to the development. Three alders made an issue of the downside of gentrifying in March, when the developer initially sought the right to build in the form of a general development plan, which passed 5-3. It had even been mentioned as far back as December, when Ald. Elizabeth Doyle (Dist. 1) briefly tossed out the idea of reserving some apartments for low-income renters during the first stage of review, the concept plan. Monday, she repeated that request, pointing out that there are large federal grants available as incentives. Ald. Luke Diaz (D-3) also voted against, with Ald. Heather Reekie switching from a no in March to abstaining, both citing their problems with eviction. Developer Ron Henshue said while Forward Development Group does not own the property yet, they would not need tenants out until late next year. Those in support ranged from Mayor Jon Hochkammer’s “100 percent” support to the tepid approval of Ald. Sarah Gaskell (D-2), who hoped to use the project as a launching point to create an effectual low-income housing policy. Ald. Mac McGilvray (D-1) was
What’s next The creation of Tax-Increment District 9 is expected to go to a vote Sept. 25. A developer agreement could be approved as soon as that night but more likely in October. firmly on board despite his dislike for apartments and questions about the cost, and Ald. Jack Linder (D-2) looked forward to getting rid of the old truck stop despite having “more density than I would like” and his dislike of using TIF for residential development, rather than job-creating growth. The previous week, the Plan Commission briefly discussed the precise implementation plan, with most questions relating to traffic. Not all the answers were available yet, as a traffic impact analysis was not yet complete and city engineers were still working on a plan for how to integrate traffic to downtown from the intersection.

What’s a PUD? A planned-unit development is an approval process that allows for a wide variety of exemptions from the city’s standard zoning process in exchange for extra scrutiny over design and other considerations. It involves at least three separate visits each to the Plan Commission and Common Council: the concept plan, the general development plan and the precise implementation plan. The concept plan does not require a vote, seeking feedback only. An approved GDP – which shows the site configuration and types of uses – gives the developer the right to build the development as long as it is substantially similar to what has been approved. The PIP governs details such as architecture, landscaping and lighting. why the company planned 87 more parking spaces than required. Essentially, he said, Festival stores get higher traffic than typical stores of its size (17,000 guests per week) and have more employees during peak hours – as many as 100 – because many of its products are prepared on site rather than in a central commissary. Anderson said the store is expected to open with about 250 employees and could grow to about 300. Email Verona Press editor Jim Ferolie at veronapress@wcinet.com.
City in brief Streetscape under budget The downtown streetscape upgrade is finished and came in more than $300,000 under budget. The low bid was just over $4 million, but public works director Theran Jacobson said by the time the city took out bonds, he had reduced the amount to $3.9 million and the final closeout of the project came in $200,000 less than that. The project was originally budgeted for about $2 million in 2015, but the city determined last summer it needed to reconstruct South Main Street within a few years and therefore rolled that in with the project.
Commission rep saga Alders continued their farcical attempts to choose a representative for the Plan Commission. This time, the 10th such vote, was less than a week after the open spot tested tempers by forcing a busy Plan Commission meeting with dozens of area residents in attendance to start 40 minutes late while waiting for a quorum. That meeting ended up going more than three hours. Alders continued to make the same votes as they have been, with three in support of previous representative Ald. Jack Linder (Dist. 2) and four in support of Ald. Luke Diaz (D-1). Ald. Evan Touchett (D-4) was absent. Six votes are required to appoint an alder to the commission.
Neighbors, commission: Too many units, people JIM FEROLIE Verona Press editor
A plan to put 114 apartment units on Lincoln Street next to the bike trail was withdrawn last week after intense scrutiny from neighbors and the Plan Commission. At the Tuesday, Sept. 5, public hearing for the project, commissioners and neighbors both complimented architecture firm Knothe Bruce for meeting with them and addressing most concerns with the original proposal, including building height, distance from the existing neighborhood and vegetative screening. But the new plan, submitted four months after the original, apparently dismissed the biggest concern – the number of apartment units. Commissioners and alders alike told developer John Dohm in May that 113 apartments would be too many on a 3.6-acre site – making it the most dense development in the city so far at more than 30 units per acre.
But Knothe Bruce returned with a plan that added one more, and neither the neighbors nor the commission accepted a suggestion that having the majority of the apartments being one bedroom would reduce the number of total people living there or that the “quality” architect Randy Bruce touted would make up for it. The commission voted unanimously to recommend denial of the general development plan, as city planning director Adam Sayre had advised. Sayre told the Press later in the week the plan had been withdrawn. Mayor Jon Hochkammer, the commission’s only representative to the council because of a five-month deadlock in voting, wrapped up a 10-minute commission discussion on the project by comparing it to the apartments near his home, in the Scenic Ridge subdivision on the south side of town. Apartments there that had been planned years before were approved over neighbor complaints. But here, the closest thing to planned apartments was a downtown plan that showed eventual redevelopment of what is now the Cecor industrial facility getting a 72-unit apartment
complex. “People knew going into building their new homes (in Scenic Ridge) that multifamily was going to show up there, and when it did, they were angry,” he said. “I have felt all along that the density was just too high here.” After the first of seven neighbors, Patty Lillesand of Schweitzer Drive, spoke for nearly six minutes about traffic concerns, parking, water runoff and her worry about doubling the population of the neighborhood, the attendant crowd broke out in raucous applause. The crowd cheered three more speakers, all of whom echoed her concerns and fixed their biggest targets on the number of apartment units. Jefferson Street resident Judith Parkes said she’s “not opposed to development” and said the architects “worked really hard” to improve the look, but having so many apartments in that space would be “changing the community that I’m going to be living in.” Sayre and the commission agreed and quickly voted to recommend denial to the council.

Developer seeks community input JIM FEROLIE Verona Press editor
A local developer is looking for the community’s input on designing about 200 acres within the North Neighborhood planning area. The workshop is set for 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 14, at Verona City Center. The city adopted the North plan in 2015 and got state approval to expand part of it in early 2016. It’s considered to be the next
major expansion area for the city, with the two south-side subdivisions, Scenic Ridge and Cathedral Point, filling quickly. Forward Development Group controls a large chunk of the neighborhood that is approved for sewer service and is working with land planner Rick Harrison and city assistant planner Katherine Holt on the workshop, often referred to as a charrette. The workshop is billed as “A Thought-Provoking
Look at Better Neighborhood Design and Community Development,” and it claims its design methods can reduce use of streets by 30 percent, increasing land available for parks and cutting down on city maintenance costs compared with traditional straight layouts. The Plan Commission and Common Council have both been invited to the meeting. Email Verona Press editor Jim Ferolie at veronapress@wcinet.com.

Commission and council for detailed planning of architecture, landscaping, parking, lighting and utilities. But the general development plan approved M o n d a y o n a 5 - 2 vo t e ensures Festival the opportunity to build in that spot. District 3 Alds. Brad Stiner and Luke Diaz voted against the project. Stiner stated merely that he was “disappointed” at developer Commercial Horizons’ inability or unwillingness to save mature trees on the center of the site. Diaz didn’t approve of exemptions for parking space depth and setbacks and has voted against every project within the Hometown Circle development. While the previous request to have less than 25 percent of the site landscaped was a sticking point for most alders, city planning director Adam Sayre encouraged them to accept the setback variations. One made the site consistent with Farm and Fleet – parking in front, store in back – and the other allowed the two parking lots to be contiguous. Another concern during the initial presentation in June was the suggested architecture, even though visual elements are not yet part of the review. Ald. Jack Linder (D-2) said he was satisfied with the changes presented this time, with additional stone adding texture to the facade. Before the June meeting, several city residents had told city leaders they should not allow a second grocery store, but the mayor made it clear the city cannot protect local industries from competition. There were no speakers for or against the store this time, though there was one local email in favor of the store and one against. Discussion was limited, as it had been in June, but Festival senior leader Mark Anderson gave a long explanation when asked

Libraries will change you if you let them A
s a youth services librarian, I often find myself thinking, “I’m uncomfortable, slightly embarrassed, and I don’t know what I’m doing.” My position requires going outside of my comfort zone. This is a role of libraries in general. If you are willing, they will constantly evolve your identity. This summer I found myself in a plumbing department asking for parts to create quidditch equipment for a teen event, based off of the Harry Potter book series. I explained that, yes, there’s a competitive sport where players pretend to fly around on brooms, scoring balls through hoops and throwing dodgeballs. Then I still Portz had to make the equipment. This required sanders, drills, drivers, five different saws and safety goggle impressions on my face. Now not only do I own regulation equipment, some local teens enjoyed a fresh experience, and I have a new skill set. In the same way, your library experience can have a profound impact. We tell children they can accomplish anything through perseverance and passion, but we often forget about adult
accomplishments beyond occupation. Children are always curious. As an open invitation for questions, we have a fish tank on our children’s desk. Kids ask, “Why are there rocks? Do the fish eat the rocks? Can I pet the fish? Do you have a book about unicorns?” We expect this behavior from children, but curiosity often dies on the way to adulthood. For some reason, many of us stop asking why. We can be reluctant to try new things, push ourselves. We become self-conscious of our own knowledge or lack of it. As an adult, it can be too embarrassing to be wrong, to take a chance and fail. We give ourselves labels. But there’s a difference between being selfaware and making final statements about who you are. Try adding the phrase, “right now,” to these personal limitations: “I’m not handy. I can’t cook. I can’t code. I don’t know.” You might find the library is the perfect place to be a person in flux. Librarians like questions. We like helping people evolve. If you haven’t been embarrassed lately, you haven’t been trying new things. Being uncomfortable is an opportunity. I love seeing guardians pretend with their children, their adult facade dropping away, because so much learning happens through play. Libraries, museums and
entrepreneurial businesses have realized that adults enjoy playful learning experiences just as much as children. Look at the popularity of escape rooms, cat cafes, paint nights and science lectures at local breweries. These trends legitimize adults learning through play. I challenge you to use your library for the same purpose. Don’t let your curiosity die. Pick up an unconventional hobby. Read a new author. Attend a class on canning or changing careers. Honestly, the more embarrassing stories and failures you have, the more interesting you become. Right now, I have a stack of books on tiny homes checked out. I attended a free library class for new home builders. Maybe someday I will build a tiny home. Maybe someday I will look back and remember that crazy time I wanted to build a tiny home. Either way, I will know more about construction, interior design, architecture, lighting, and engineering. Either way, my use of the library will have changed me as a person – one who knows more, has experienced more. At the very least, it makes for great conversation and a good laugh. Leah Portz is a youth service librarian at the Verona Public Library.
Joint meeting covers development policies The Verona Town Board and Plan Commission will hold a joint meeting at 6 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 14, to discuss development policies. Planning and development was largely absent in the town from shortly after the failed consolidation with the city in 2008 until June 2016, when the town and city signed a joint boundary agreement. The boundary deal now specifies several areas where the town and city can work together on planning and others where the city stipulates it will not grow into for the foreseeable future. In the joint areas, the town and city have established a joint planning committee to make

recommendations. In the areas where the city will not grow, the town has considerably more latitude than before to chart its own course and establish subdivisions and commercial properties. Thursday’s meeting begins with
a discussion of the principles of land-use decision-making, with guidance from the town attorney and county zoning administrator. It will also review requirements the town puts on developers, including processes, submission requirements and standard development agreements. Finally, it will discuss the new comprehensive plan that’s required to be updated every 10 years as part of the Smart Growth legislation. The discussion will look into land use categories, including lot size requirements and allocating common areas. The meeting will be held at Town Hall, 7669 County Hwy. PD.

Entertainment will also be provided by the Rhapsody Arts Center. “We’re just hoping that the community shows up, gets a little education and has a little fun while they’re here,” said VFD assistant chief of inspections Doug Rohn.
Safety information will cover all ages, with advice for families and the elderly, along with fire extinguisher training and education, a smoke detector installation program and videos on fire safety. Those at the event can sign up for the VFD free smoke detector program if they are low-income, have a disability or live in a
household with residents over the age of 65 or under the age of 18. The department will also offer fire truck tours, while a Fitch-Rona EMS ambulance and Verona Police Department squad car will be available for an up-close look. Car fire prop demonstrations are planned “periodically throughout the event,” Rohn said in an email. There will also be a bounce house, coloring books and fire hats for children. Available food will be hot dogs, chips, lemonade and cake, Rohn said in an email. Contact Scott Girard at ungreporter@wcinet.com and follow him on Twitter @sgirard9.

Organizer Caroline Olson initiated the first MD in 2015 in honor of her father, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 2013. Over the past two events, she has raised $7,600, which all went toward to the Wisconsin Alzheimer’s Institute. Olson’s goal for this year is to raise more money than in previous years. “I want to raise money for Alzheimer’s research as well as bring awareness to the community,” she told the
Press. Olson recalled her father was unable to communicate or remember family members or daily life routines. “Alzheimer’s took his life, memory, ability to be mobile and to do simple things such as eat and drink,” she said. To help more families with the same experience, she organized local and regional vendors, including Verona Purple Goose and Brooklyn Vintage Birch Barn, to set up booths on site. Their offerings range from toys and kids clothes to art and home decor. The number of vendors has increased from 17 to 30 over past two years. Kids were also among the vendors to make a difference
in previous years. Sophie Kvalheim of McFarland raised $139 at her cookie booth, and Lucy Gardener of Verona contributed $135 from her lemonade sales. There will be raffle and silent auction, as well as live music performed by local band Last Minute Notice. Contact Helu Wang at helu. wang@wcinet.com.

In its first five years, the event has raised more than $26,000, Janisch said, which has all been earmarked toward MS research within Wisconsin. Janisch’s own diagnosis took 18 months, when doctors found a second tumor, and she said she “felt so much better” once she was able to start treatment. “I just hope that it helps somebody else,” she said. “I hope that somebody else can be diagnosed quicker and start treatment.” Janisch is looking forward to the feeling of seeing everyone “with the same colored shirt on and know(ing) we’re all working toward the same goal.” “It’s one of those days that gives me hope and gives me something to work toward each year,” she said. “My wish is that everybody has fun and meets somebody they haven’t met before.” Contact Scott Girard at ungreporter@wcinet.com and follow him on Twitter @sgirard9.

There’s a pretty simple reason the “Ride for Clyde” to benefit multiple sclerosis research is entering its sixth year. “As long as I can ride it, it’s going to go on,” said Verona resident Dawn Janisch, who helped start the ride six years ago with her brother. The ride, titled for the name Janisch gave one of the lesions found on her brain in 2010 when she was diagnosed with MS, is back this Saturday. The event begins at Barneveld Memorial Park in Barneveld, Janisch’s hometown, and ends in Verona, where she currently lives, after going along the Military Ridge Trail. “I used to ride that trail a lot,” Janisch said. After the 22-mile ride, there will be a silent auction, raffle and food at Verona’s Festival Park. All registration is sameday, beginning at 9 a.m. in Barneveld. The minimum $30 donation covers a t-shirt and the bike path fee for the day for participants. People can also visit Festival Park between 2 and 6 p.m. to take part in the food, auction or raffle even if they did not participate in the bike ride. Janisch stressed that the event is not a race, though riders can certainly challenge themselves if they want to. “If they want to race it, they can race it, but we want people to do as much of it as they want or as little of it as they want and just be a part,” she said.

Sins that cry out to Heaven “Do not exploit the poor because they are poor and do not crush the needy in court, for the Lord will take up their case and will exact life for life.” —Proverbs 22:22-23 NIV There are sins that cry out to heaven for justice. The slaughter of Abel by his brother Cain is the primordial example. A premeditated murder of one’s brother certainly cries out for justice. The oppression of the Israelites in Egypt is another sin that cried to heaven, and throughout the Bible we see the oppression of the poor, of orphans and widows, and of refugees as sins that God is particularly inclined to avenge. The Book of Exodus makes this principle explicit: “Do not mistreat or oppress a foreigner, for you were foreigners in Egypt. Do not take advantage of the widow or the fatherless. If you do and they cry out to me, I will certainly hear their cry. My anger will be aroused, and I will kill you with the sword; your wives will become widows and your children fatherless.” (Exodus 22:2124 NIV) This is a moral exhortation that is all too relevant today, when millions of refugees have no place to call home and widows and orphans are all around us. Ask yourself who in your community fits the bill of the widow, the orphan or the foreigner. We might call them by different names, i.e., single mothers, or undocumented immigrants, or the homeless and working poor, but these people are God’s children, and they have a special place in His heart. – Christopher Simon

VACT open house next weekend HELU WANG

Unified Newspaper Group
Verona Area Community Theater members will lead tours as part of an open house next weekend in their new building at 103 Lincoln St., to thank the community for its support during the fundraising effort. The open house is 1-5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 23 and it includes a ribbon-cutting event. The VACT moved into the $2 million building on July 8 after three years of fundraising and almost one full year of construction. The new building increased the space available to 14,625 square feet, nearly triple the size of the 5,000-square-foot converted barn on Bruce Street, where the theater company had produced shows for 13 years. The city donated the land, part of the Verona Fire Department lot, and purchased the old building for $369,000 for the parks

department. This summer, hundreds of kids rehearsed shows and attended camps in the building while contractors put on the finishing touches. With set-building and prop rooms surrounding the room, kids are easily able to grab their materials for rehearsal. And on the second floor, costumes such as 1960-70s jackets, mermaid dresses and colorful T-shirts are organized in racks, making them easy to spot. VACT founder Dee Baldock said the new building
is needed for rehearsals and the 150-seat theater will be used for smaller performances. All musicals and any plays expecting a large crowd will still be performed at Verona Area High School, she said. Baldock said the building will be available for renting out for dancing, performing and recitals. The group’s fundraising campaign has raised over $1.7 million from individual donors and local businesses. Future tickets, camp earnings and donations will go toward daily operating expenses. A ribbon cutting is set for 1 p.m. on the day of open house, but tours are available throughout the open house. “We want to provide an opportunity for the community to tour the new facility and thank them for the support,” Baldock said.

Each year, over 150 kids show up for the activities and the hockey. “It’s a good community event where kids have a lot of fun,” O’Brien said. The outdoor activities, including a bouncy house
and other inflatables, cost $10, which will also cover a hot dog, drink and custard. And hockey games ranging from U8 and Squirt to Peewee and Bantam divisions cost $40, which includes games, T-shirt and a night skate. The event also hosts a free open skate from 2:303:30 p.m. O’Brien said it’s an opportunity for kids to experience ice activities. “Even for kids, who have never skated before, they can watch the others play and get a chance to try skates out,” he said. “That’s the reason we keep the price cheap.” Contact Helu Wang at helu.wang@wcinet.com.

As the Verona Area/Mount Horeb High School girls swimming team has grown into one of the top teams in the state over the past decade, the Wildcats have found themselves chasing one consistent opponent. VA/MH had the most best times of anyone at the Brookfield East Spartan Invitational on Saturday, scoring 352 points. But the third-ranked Wildcats still found themselves chasing the top-ranked Middleton Cardinals on the scoreboard. Grace Bennin won the 200 IM and 100 breaststroke, and senior Maggie Nunn won the diving competition, but the Cardinals won eight events to finish 200 points ahead of VA/MH. Sun Prairie finished 21 points behind the Wildcats in third place. Bennin posted a meet-best time of 2 minutes, 7.18 seconds in the 200 IM and then bested her own meet and pool record in the 100 breaststroke title with a 1:04.6. Coach Bill Wuerger said Nunn looked very good in her first competition of the season, scoring a 424.6 to win the diving competition. The Wildcats’ closest race of the day was their 200 free relay of sophomores Kaitlyn Zuehl and Sara Stewart, junior Gabby Gnewuch and Bennin, who were touched out by .05 by Middleton’s Cora Mack, Berkley Smith, Hannah Aegerter and Makenna Licking in 1:38.76. Verona senior Sophie Henshue added a runner-up finish to Aegerter (5:08.8) in the 500 free with a time of 5:11.59.

Wildcats, Bates get goal crazy for 7-2 start ANTHONY IOZZO Assistant sports editor
The Verona Area High School boys soccer team’s offense was clicking from the start Monday against non-conference Stoughton, but it took until the final two minutes to secure a 4-2 win. The Wildcats (8-2 overall, 3-0 Big Eight) and Vikings (5-5, 2-0 Badger South) played on the grass field next to the usual varsity field at Reddan Soccer Park, and Verona’s speed didn’t suffer as it put up 44 overall shots and 20 of them on goal. But with the game knotted up 2-2 with two minutes left, senior midfielder Jose Adrian Lazaro-Padilla was tackled in the penalty box and it gave the Wildcats a penalty kick opportunity. Senior forward Jack Bates, who has scored eight goals in the last two games, took advantage of the opportunity and knocked the ball past Stoughton senior goalie Matt Read for a 3-2 advantage. “I am a little disappointed we didn’t score more, but I am proud of the team to keep it going and not giving up when the shots weren’t going in like they usually do,” Bates said. “I hit a lot of PKs in my life, so I know where to go.

Verona falls flat against Madison West
Volleyball
ANTHONY IOZZO Assistant sports editor
Friday’s 23-17 loss to Madison West was a result the Verona Area High School football team could have avoided if not for penalties and a disappointing first half, coach Dave Richardson said. “All week we executed,” Richardson said. “It was the best week of practice we’ve had, and sometimes that is the kiss of death. You get overconfident or complacent or whatever it might have been. But we certainly didn’t execute tonight, and that is on me.” Still, the Regents (3-1) and Wildcats (3-1) were knotted up at 10-10 in the fourth quarter before a couple of turnovers finished Verona off. A bad snap on a second-and-inches play ended up in a scrum, where Madison West senior defensive lineman Alex Okelue came away with the ball. Senior quarterback Keishawn Shanklin overcame two penalties that made it firstand-25 from the Regents’ own 25-yard line, hitting sophomore Ezra Thompson for an 18-yard pass and then senior wide receiver Ben Thompson on a 15-yard pass to make it first-and-10 on the Verona 27. Senior running back Jaden Stephens (21 carries for 115 yards) and Shanklin then traded off runs, with Stephens punching in a 3-yard run to make it 17-10 with 4 minutes, 27 seconds left in the game. Verona looked to begin a march to tie the game after senior quarterback Aaron Young found senior split end Carson Bull for an 18-yard pass on a second-and-long, but Young was intercepted by Stephens a few plays later to give the ball back to the Regents. Stephens rushed for 13 yards on the first play of the ensuing drive, and Shanklin (16 carries for 71 yards) followed that with an 11-yard touchdown run. Senior kicker Kacper Lupe, who hit a 35-yard field goal at the end of the first half, missed the point after, but West still led 23-10 with 2:24 to go. The Wildcats’ offense finally clicked after that. Young completed a 26-yard pass to sophomore split end Aubrey Dawkins, a 17-yard pass to senior split end Jaden King and a 15-yard pass to Bull. After an unsportsmanlike penalty was called against the Regents, Young threw a bullet to King for a 6-yard touchdown to make it 23-17 West with 1:48 to go. Verona had three timeouts and opted to try an onside kick, but the ball was picked up by Stephens and taken to the Verona 16-yard line.

There were many Verona Area High School volleyball players making contributions Tuesday in a 3-0 (25-21, 25-23, 25-16) win over Madison Memorial. The Wildcats (8-4 overall, 3-0 Big Eight) had three players with seven kills – senior right-side hitter Priya Shenoi, senior outside hitter Hannah Worley and sophomore middle blocker Maddy Kelley – and also served well with sophomore setter Jordan Armstrong picking up five aces and senior defensive specialist Amie Rudnicki finishing with four. Senior middle blocker Kirstin Tidd, junior outside hitters Megan Touchett and Nicole Phelps and junior middle blocker Sydney Rae also earned kills on a balanced night. “On of the strongest points of our team is that we are able to move the ball around to every position in the front row,” coach Kelly Annen said. “That allows a lot of opportunities for them to get stronger because it forces the defense to identify and make sure they check our hitters.” The closest set was the second. Memorial tied Verona three times until Phelps earned a kill and a couple of errors gave the Wildcats a 21-18 lead. Worley put the Spartans away with a kill for a 25-23 win and a 2-0 lead. Verona opened the third set with eight straight points, including two kills by Shenoi and two aces by Armstrong. Shenoi later earned one of her team-leading two blocks, and Worley and Kelley combined for three kills to finish the set for the 25-16 win. Rudnicki collected three aces, and Shenoi, Touchett and Kelley each had two kills in a 25-21 win in the first set. “A strong serve will start our confidence, so when we go on runs that allows us to go

three to five serves per server,” Annen said. “That continues to increase our communication in our areas of our play because (the opponent’s) defense isn’t able to set up effectively.” Sophomore libero Amelia Hust finished with 11 digs, and junior setter Emma Frahm had 17 assists. Next up, Verona travels to UW-Oshkosh for its second big early-season tournament after opening the year in the Demon Invitational at Burlington. Annen said that the endurance and pressure of such tournaments are what will prepare the girls for potential five-set matches and tougher opponents like Middleton, which the Wildcats play Tuesday. “The real game-like situations come from the tournaments,” Annen said. “It is going to push us menatally and physically for us to finish tough matches as the season goes on.”
Verona 3, Beloit 0 The Wildcats traveled to Beloit Memorial on Thursday and won 3-0 (25-8, 25-12, 25-4). Shenoi had nine kills, and Hust finished with seven aces and 11 digs. Armstrong finished with 15 assists, and Tidd and Shenoi each had two blocks.

Senior Julia Pletta once again paced the pack for the Verona girls, earning a 17th-place finish Saturday at the SPASH invitational in Stevens Point. Pletta traversed the rolling Standing Rocks Park course in 21 minutes as the Wildcats finished fifth with a time score of 147. The host Cougars posted a 102 to win the meet - 16 points ahead of second place Beaver Dam. Port Washington was third with a 125 and Wausau West finished fourth, one point ahead of Verona with a 146. Beaver Dam sophomore Jada Donaldson had the fastest time of the day, holding off Wausau West junior Brooke Jaworski by .83 with a 19:42.05. The course ran surprisingly slow this year, by about 30 seconds compared to last year, VAHS coach Dave Nelson said. Freshman Anna Knueve and junior Lucy Waschbusch weren’t far behind, finishing 22nd and 23rd, respectively. Knueve, who ran JV last week at the Verona Invite, took 22nd place in 21:21 as the team’s second runner and Waschbusch crossed the finish line one spot behind in 21:26. “Lucy had a tremendous race on Saturday. She is a prime example of someone who worked hard this summer, built confidence in herself, and is reaping the rewards,” Nelson said. “If we can get all of our girls to run as inspired as she did on Saturday, we will have a lot of fun.”

Sophomore Jamie Hogan finished 29th in 21:43 but the Wildcats had a big gap between their fourth and fifth runner, as sophomore Abby Wampfler took 56th place in 22:40. “So far, the goal times that we have put into our plans have fallen into the category of an expectation, as opposed to a goal,” Nelson said. “We need to set goals that are possibly a little out of our reach and comfort zone and strive to attain them instead of playing it safe. I think that this team could surprise itself if each member was willing to take the risk.”
Grade Level Challenge Verona traveled to Lake Farm Park on Tuesday for the Big Eight Grade Level Challenge and turned in a couple of solid performances. Knueve won the freshman race in 21:14, and Hogan (21:10) took fourth in the sophomore race. Leah Remiker (21:58) took 12th and Wampfler and Janina Bruhn finished 15th and 16th, separated by a fraction of a second in 22:12.

no-huddle offense. “We had hoped that we would tire them out if we could have the ball a little bit longer on offense because they have a lot of two-way guys,” Richardson said. “All first half we were three-andout, so they didn’t have to work at all and our defense was on the field the whole time.” Stephens tied the game 7-7 on a 14-yard run in the second quarter, and Lupe hit his field goal to make it 10-7 at halftime. Young tied it 10-10 on a 22-yard field goal in the third quarter. West senior fullback Armoni Warfield had 18 carries for 110 yards, and Shanklin was 6-for-7 for 85 yards and an interception. Young finished 11-for-23 for 148 yards, a touchdown and an interception. Senior running back Joe Riley had 13 carries for 45 yards. Middleton (3-1) is coming up next, and Richardson said that if Verona doesn’t play better than it did Friday, the Wildcats will find themselves on a two-game losing streak. “This can’t continue and if it does then we will limp into the end of the season,” Richardson said.
Verona 7, Beloit Memorial 4 The Wildcats traveled to Beloit Thursday and came back to win 7-4 after falling behind by two goals in the first half of the Big Eight Conference match. Bates scored five goals, including four in the first half. “We have been doing really good at just connecting passes in the final third and making sure that me and everyone else are
getting some open shots,” Bates said. Bates scored in the 43rd minute of the first half with an assist to Lazaro-Padilla, and then he made it 3-3 with a goal in the 68th minute. Sophomore midfielder Jack Knight assisted the latter goal. Beloit regained the lead with a goal by Edgar Gonzales in the 69th minute, but Bates came back with goals in the 72nd and 73rd minutes to make it 5-4 Verona. Senior midfielder Andres Temozihui and Lazaro-Padilla had assists on those two goals. Bates scored once more in the 86th minute after a pass from Temozihui. Lazaro-Padilla added a goal in the 82nd minute. Knight started the game
with a goal in the third minute, but Jesse Ramos, Omar Saucedo and Coco Castellanos all scored to make it 3-1 Beloit. Sophomore goalie George Ohm finished with three saves.
Verona 2, Madison Memorial 1 The Wildcats traveled to Mansfield Stadium on Tuesday to take on Madison Memorial in a Big Eight match and won 2-1. Bates knocked in the game-winner in the 88th minute. Temozihui tied the game at 1-1 in the 51st minute with an assist to senior Ethan Poppen. Ohm finished with six saves.

The defense stopped Stephens for a 1-yard gain and held Shanklin for a 4-yard gain to make it third-and-5 with two timeouts stopping the clock between plays. Shanklin then ran again and was stopped for a 3-yard gain. But before Richardson could call a timeout, a flag was thrown at the end of the play, resulting in a face-mask penalty that awarded the Regents a first down. “(West) played the game and had fun, and we looked tight and worried,” Richardson said. “It was unusual because I hadn’t seen this from these guys.

Calendar: Late starts among considerations Continued from page 13 “If we are looking at something as big as the latestart days, we would need to look at that now for maybe down the road, but we need to have a calendar for next year immediately,” she said. Last year’s surveys did not offer a clear path on preferences related to late starts, VASD director of human resources Jason Olson told the board at the time. He said much of the feedback focused on the questions being unclear, which left the board wanting more data before a new decision. Board member Kristina Navarro-Haffner, who had declared as a candidate but was not on the board during these discussions last year, said any future outreach needs to be more clear, based on her own experience and what she heard from other parents. “Some people, I don’t think, had a full understanding of the usefulness of late starts for staff,” Navarro-Haffner said. Almond added that past calendar committees have often focused on individual situations and have not necessarily represented the entire district populations. “Any group of people you get together … so many people are like, ‘This works better with my schedule,’” she said. “We had very few disadvantaged populations on the committee.”
What’s next Staff members will create a “shell” 2018-19 school calendar for the board to consider, likely within the next month or two.

New VAHS
Attendance boundary planning starts soon Geothermal placement, road among project’s other top priorities SCOTT GIRARD Unified Newspaper Group
One of the most challenging discussions related to building a new Verona Area High School building is expected to begin next month. Board members discussed priorities of the new VAHS project Monday night, and that included the plan to shift attendance area boundaries. “That will be a front-and-center discussion for the board for the next year-and-a-half or so,” superintendent Dean Gorrell said. “That will be a long process and probably not a lot of fun.” Gorrell recommended having a final decision on boundaries by
March 2019 to “let that sink in” with parents. A discussion on the “guiding principles” for redrawing those boundaries was listed as a potential topic for the Oct. 9 board meeting. But there are many more high-priority decisions for the board related to the $180 million high school and renovation project. Among those Gorrell mentioned Monday were locating the geothermal wells at the new site and figuring out a plan for road access. “(The geothermal placement) has gotten our attention a lot lately,” Gorrell said. “They need to know fairly quickly where that field would go.” The decision is complicated by the board wanting to keep future options open for adding turf to some of the fields at the high school beyond what they approved last month, as geothermal cannot be located under turf. Gorrell, calling it a “big dollar
item,” explained that crews would have to avoid the spot where the wells are placed for months during the construction process. It will affect the building layout, he added, as the mechanical room size will vary based on getting the power from the geothermal wells. He also said district officials were meeting with the city next week to do a preliminary site plan review and further discuss road access, which is “a big deal for us.” The district has hoped to have a road from Paoli Street that would cut through Stewart’s Woods, but preliminary discussions with a city committee brought up major conflicts, as the road would be much closer to the U.S. Hwy. 18-151 interchange than the state Department of Transportation normally allows.

Northwest: Legends Edge would need separate approvals Continued from page 1 opposition – mainly from Town of Verona residents – prompted a pause for deeper discussion. After hearing from a half-dozen residents decidedly against the neighborhood plan and a handful of others with more specific critiques, plus an effusive audience, the commission decided last week not to vote on it or even try to adjust it and instead asked the council to weigh in on the overall concepts first. Alders didn’t come up with any consensus Monday other than acknowledging one frequent critique – lack of recognition of the Ice Age Trail. They asked clarifying questions and made scattered comments, including some directed at Legends Edge. Some also suggested that a vote for one is a vote for the other, while others insisted there be more attention paid to affordable housing and potential traffic problems. But they listened to a parade of speakers, both for and against, and a few alders reiterated their aversion to allowing as large a development as Legends Edge. The plan would only be a preliminary step toward Legends Edge, as it only provides a rough sketch for the types of development that could occur in the area. However, new subdivisions must be consistent with the city’s comprehensive plan, and the neighborhood plan would be a piece of that. More importantly, as drafted, the neighborhood plan would make some specific accommodations for Legends Edge, including extra high-density apartment buildings – up to 50 units per acre
The Northwest Neighborhood comprises 732 acres north of County Hwy. PD and west of Woods Road. – and allowing construction to be higher than anywhere else in the city outside of Epic. Almost all the speakers against the development were from the Town of Verona, and almost all in favor were associated in one way or another with the Pan Capital, the landowner’s company. Among them were three Keryluk siblings and current or former hockey teammates who had taken internships associated with what another intern called “Team Legends Edge.” Either way, audience members got a workout with their hands, as one side of the room or the other was applauding for most speakers during the
70-minute public comment period. Town speakers generally pointed out the scenic vistas, fertile farmland and diverse wildlife of the neighborhood plan, which includes part of the Ice Age Trail. But one

speaker disdainfully alluded to two gravel pits and a driving range adjacent to Legends Edge, saying the properties had been “slashed out and logged” by opponents of the project. Some opponents suggested
a high-density project in the area would detract from downtown, but two speakers pointed out that Verona’s downtown district includes a series of fast-food chain restaurants. One speaker said Legends Edge “would be large scale for many major metropolitan areas,” and therefore not appropriate, while another said that very characteristic made it a “great” project. Another doubted that the commercial amenities would even turn out, suggesting it would mostly end up as apartments. The Plan Commission could revisit the plan as early
as next month, with council approval possible a week later. The city would then submit a request to a regional commission to add parts of the area to the city’s urban service area, meaning they could get sewer service – something most urban development needs. That process takes about three months. The city would separately await an annexation request by any developer and work out pre-annexation and development agreements.
