Franson credits Verona beginnings for success AMBER LEVENHAGEN Unified Newspaper Group
Female empowerment, friendship, sexual harassment, self-discovery and a little love. Those are some of the major themes in Verona Area High School graduate Sally Franson’s first novel, “A Lady’s Guide to Selling Out,” published with Random House on April 10.
Franson grew up in Verona and graduated from VA H S i n 2002. She now lives in Minneapolis after earn ing a bachelor’s degree at Barnard College, Franson overcoming Stage 3 Hodgkin’s lymphoma – from which she is now in remission and by general medical standards “cured” – and then returning for a master’s degree in creative writing from the University of Minnesota.

The cancer diagnosis was the factor that gave her the final push to pursue her master’s degree and begin writing professionally. “I always wanted to be a writer; when I was a little kid, people asked me what I wanted to do, and I’d say either a writer, a comedian or a hairdresser,” Franson told the Press. “It was always in the back of my head, and I had a lot of teachers who encouraged me, including Ms. (Erin) Barnard at Sugar Creek, who helped me find books to read.” H e r f i r s t n o v e l , “A
Lady’s Guide to Selling Out” is fictional tale about Casey Pendergast, a woman five years out of college who gave up her dream for artistic freedom to make a lot of money at an advertising firm. Casey faces a moral dilemma as the workplace dynamics shift. “(It’s not about me) in any direct ways, I’ve never worked in advertising, she is someone very intentionally different than me,” Franson said. “She’s someone who acts first and thinks after – I’m not

It has been more than six years since the state overrode the wishes of a local planning body to approve an expansion southwest of the city. Next week, the first official proposal for construction in the area planned for that addition is set to go before the Plan Commission. It’s a big one. The 160-acre, senior-oriented neighborhood would feature around 600 homes, about half of which are single-family, south of Valley Road in what still is the Town of Verona. While it’s just a concept at this point, with its developer looking for feedback, the submission to the city shows four distinct sections – a

Fitchrona getting roundabout SCOTT GIRARD Unified Newspaper Group
The four-way stop at the intersection of Nesbitt and Fitchrona roads is expected to get the upgrade next year that’s been planned for a decade next year. The Common Council approved April 10 creating a roundabout for the intersection from among a set of three potential alternatives for the intersection. Construction on the $1.6 million project is expected to begin in 2019. Some alders had initially supported a “mini-roundabout,” which would have been about $1 million cheaper. But that smaller option was not expected to help traffic flow for as long as the full-size roundabout would, an engineering consultant on the project said. City administrator Pat Marsh explained that the project could be paid for by tax-increment financing from the Orchard Pointe TIF district. That brought many of the alders on board with the idea, including Ald. Dan Bahr (Dist. 2) who had supported the mini-roundabout idea at the committee level. The latest an expenditure
expect that funding to come in. “I think it’s great we’re trying to get the Town of Verona to chip in money, but good luck getting money out of them,” Richardson said. “We don’t really have any leverage.” Traffic lights were also among the options being considered, but they would have been the most expensive and would not reduce crashes as much as the roundabout, according to the engineering analysis. Three of the four property owners at the intersection, which include It’s Your Party, Bavaria Sausage and Orchard Pointe apartments, supported the mini-roundabout idea, with the traffic signal being their second choice, according to a document provided for the meeting by interim public works director Bill Balke, based on public outreach.

Old PB closes next week south of the bike trail.
Old PB closes Monday A section of Old PB will close beginning Monday as workers replace two bridges south of the Military Ridge State Trail. At a pre-construction conference April 30, the schedule indicated the road will be closed from May 7 to Aug. 17, according to an email from public works director Theran Jacobson. The construction is a joint project with the Town of Verona. As part of the project, a pedestrian bridge now connects the Park and Ride lot there to the Badger Prairie
community garden. That was completed last week, Jacobson wrote. It also will add new pavement between and around the two bridges, located on either side of the garden. Access to the Park and Ride will remain open throughout. The official detour takes drivers downtown, along County Hwy. M, though many people will likely use U.S. Hwy. 18-151 or avoid the area altogether. — Jim Ferolie

H
ow is that New Year’s resolution working out? Yes. Pun intended. I would guess many of you are like me and are seeing the same number on the scale that you saw in January. Over my time in Verona, I have picked up some great tips from my Milsap patients to help increase my own activity and live a healthier lifestyle, including incremental eating changes and making exercise convenient and fun and scheduled. Successful weight changes require lifestyle changes, which of course means food and exercise. One way one of my patients found success was by eating 10 percent less overall. Just take what you would normally put on your plate and eat 10 percent less. Or try asking the restaurant to box up half your meal to take home. With this strategy, you don’t have to cut out the foods you enjoy (desserts), and you won’t feel deprived with such a small
decrease in food. It can seem intimidating to get enough exercise needed to lose weight, but it doesn’t have to be. The American Heart Association recommends an astounding 50 minutes of cardio exercise daily to lose weight. While these 50 minutes don’t have to be all in one session, it is still really hard to achieve. I had one patient lose 10 pounds by sneaking activity minutes into her daily life by taking the stairs, parking further away at the store and building in walk breaks at work. One thing I do is pack my gym bag every morning and keep it in the car. That way, I can always be prepared if I have some random free time during the day (which rarely happens), but also I have no excuse not to stop by the gym after work. I had one patient who is a business executive who always kept walking shoes in her trunk so she would always at least walk on the treadmill or outside after work even if she didn’t have other gym clothes. For those with kids, take the suggestion of a cardiologist I worked with – incorporating
dance sessions into your daily life. Take 10 minutes, shut the blinds, turn up some loud music and just move to the beat in whatever way feels good. You will feel awesome when you let loose, you’ll burn calories, and it’s a phenomenal way to get the kids (and dogs) to expend their builtup energy as well. Finally, the best way I’ve found for me to stick to a routine is to put it on the calendar in my phone. The reason this works is because it’s scheduled into my day and I am one of those guilty souls who is constantly checking the phone. I get the reminder to work out every afternoon/evening during my commute home from work. The combo of this reminder and a gym bag that is already packed forces me to pull into my gym. Weight and lifestyle changes are not easy, but since I’ve started living in Verona and picked up these random tips, I feel much healthier and have had some modest success in weight changes. What works for you? Alex Milsap is a second-year resident at UW Health Family Medicine in Verona.

For Dairy Queen owner Tim Heller, it’s been a “rough couple of weeks.” The Verona ice cream and food franchise, located at 651 Hometown Circle, had its last day on Monday, April 30, as a result of declining sales and increased competition from new
restaurants that had encompassed it in recent years. Since Dairy Queen’s arrival, the number of establishments in Verona has nearly doubled. “We had four new restaurants open on each side of us,” Heller said. “There were a lot of different factors going into this, but it was just the right time.” Signage from the restaurant began to come down Tuesday morning, as a note on the front doors of the restaurant read, “Sorry, we are closed. Thank you for your business the past 5 years. Please visit the Fitchburg, Mineral Point and University Ave
locations. Thank you.” Over the past five years, Heller said, he’s enjoyed “a lot of busy weekends” and working with local high schoolers employed at the store. Heller said he hopes to absorb the employees from the Verona store into his other three stores, which all will remain open. “Some of the workers are hopefully going to come work at those three stores and stay with us,” he said.

Prayer “Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.” – 1 Samuel 3:9 NIV Prayer is the central spiritual discipline, since it places us in communion with God. When Paul tells us to pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17), he is saying that our communion with God should be a constant and neverending state of being. Brother Lawrence showed us one way to do this in “Practicing the Presence of God,” where he explains that even while doing our mundane daily activities such as washing pots and pans we can be communicating with God and aware of His presence. Our interior dialogue with God may at times become more of a monologue, and while that is okay (since God’s patience is infinite), it is at times advisable to stop talking and to listen to what God has to say. There are times when we can simply be quiet and rest in the awareness that God is there, praying “Here I am Lord, your servant is listening.” But real prayer is transformative. We must be willing to change, and willing to let God’s will be done, not ours. Jesus, after all, prayed “not my will, but yours be done.” (Luke 22:42 NIV) And James tells us that “When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.” (James 4:3 NIV) How often are our prayers pure selfishness, asking for a return to health, or for wealth, or some other source of pleasure? Instead, let us pray for the grace and wisdom to know God’s will, and the strength and courage to do it. –Christopher Simon

Book: Franson began conceptualizing her first novel in 2012, was published 6 years later Continued from page 1 nearly as bold as she is – but her insecurities, vulnerabilities, grief over past experiences and uncertainty about how to be a person in the world reflect my own preoccupations at the time.”
#MeToo and pop culture Franson began writing the novel in 2015, before the #MeToo movement in November 2017 that resulted in a shift in how media figures and the populace at large began addressing workplace sexual assault, which is one of the adversities the main character faces. While the book was published after the movement had picked up in momentum, she said the timing was coincidence rather than an attempt to mirror popular issues in the mainstream. Franson, while pulling from her own varied experiences in the workplace, said she hopes other women will be able to find their own voice in that of the characters she created. “I didn’t know if (the book) was going to be publishable because (sexual assault) wasn’t an experience the media was yet comfortable addressing, at least not in ways that really call out the despicableness of some people’s behavior,” she explained. “So it was exciting and radical when a consensus emerged that not only do certain
men do this in the workplace and that it happens all the time, but that so many women have experienced it to various degrees as it happens in the book. When I wrote this, it seemed radical and boundary pushing.”
stories, shadowing the agencies, and going to bars where advertising people worked,” Franson said. “I felt like a detective and it made me think about the book as something outside of myself, it was an adventure.”
Conception to composition
Verona to the big screen
The voice of the narrator first popped into her head in 2012. In an effort to explore this “stranger,” Franson began writing short stories for friends and acquaintances, but then one day in 2014, at a coffee shop with a friend, that friend convinced her to take it to the next level. “It felt really loud, I was like ‘who is this lady, where am I going to put her’,” she explained. Her book took six years to complete – from conception to composition, writing to editing and revising to publishing. And because Franson has no experience working in advertising, to help harness her ideas, she shadowed agency employees to help learn about the advertising lifestyle. She even discussed ideas with close friends and partners who work in the advertising world, saying those conversations were “half with an agenda” but “they were happy with it,” and happy to talk about their work. “Both the office and the people (in the book) are a combination of overheard
A movie deal is far from solidified, but with an outpouring of positive reviews from other writers and the media, and even a film agent who expressed interest, there’s a chance that “A Lady’s Guide to Selling Out” will hit the big screen. She’s working on another novel, with the same themes of female empowerment but in a different universe than her first. Franson made sure to emphasize how much her beginnings in Verona propelled her career forward and set her up for that level of success, specifically the Verona Public Library – back when it was located on Main Street. “When I was a kid, my mom would allow my sister and I to go to the library and I would check out as many books as I could fit into my backpack, that was the rule,” she said. “That’s how I learned how to be an author – not from writing so much, but all the books I read and reread from the Photo submitted Verona Public Library.” VAHS graduate Sally Franson published her first novel, “A Lady’s Guide to Selling Out,” Contact Amber Levenhagen at amber.lev- with Random House on April 10. enhagen@wcinet.com.

Festival: Saturday will have music from noon to 7 p.m., cover charge for ‘Epic’ stage Continued from page 1 the fireworks show, which has hopped around to different nights but will now be on Friday. With Thursday night’s music show gone, additional musical acts throughout the day will perform on the new, smaller “Hometown Days” stage in the beer tent. They’ll precede the main musical acts Friday and Saturday night, which have cover charges on the larger “Epic” stage. On Friday, Kate Scullin will play starting at 5 p.m. on the Hometown Days stage, and four musical acts will perform from noon to 7 p.m. on Saturday,
with perennial headliner Cherry Pie starting at 8. The goal is to make the downtime moments of the festival more lively for attendees and “put them in the festival mood,” Jordan said. “People passing by or ove r i n t h e h a m bu rg e r stand will be able to sit and listen to music,” she said. “When (people) were getting something to eat or they were just done with the carnival and wanted to relax a little bit or play some of the lawn games, (live music) just makes it more festive, rather than sitting having lunch in dead silence – we thought it would add an air of

Popular performer ZooZort, which usually brings the exotic animals, will be unavailable with owner Noelle Tarrant attending her daughter’s wedding that weekend, Jordan said. Helicopter rides will return, and the marketplace is looking to double the number of vendors. Applications for vendors are still being accepted, Jordan added. The pancake breakfast, traditionally on Sunday morning, will move to Saturday morning at Yahara Bay Distillery, where the
company will debut a new maple syrup that weekend. The parade will return to its traditional route after switching last year as a result of construction on South Main Street.

The idea of making Hometown Days three days instead of four is not new. It has been explored several times in recent years, but it was always considered an insurance day, in case of rain other days. But a major reason for the move this year is the weekend it’s now held on. In 2015, the 46-year-old festival moved ahead a week, to the first weekend in June, to avoid competing with graduation parties and Mount Horeb’s Summer Frolic, which had moved back a week in 2013. One unintended consequence of that move was less teen traffic on Thursdays because school is still in session, Verona Area Chamber of Commerce executive director Le Jordan said.
Thursday night has since repeatedly experienced lower attendance than the other three days of the festival, Jordan said. “By the time (the festival) opened at 5 (o’clock) on a school night, it got dark early, and there wasn’t a whole lot going on on Thursday, anyways,” she said. As a result, the festival, which has always been a major fundraiser for community nonprofits such as the Optimists, the American Legion, the senior center and various sports boosters, was not making any money that day. The chamber found itself paying for attractions like musicians and the carnival rides that didn’t generate much income. “We hoped every year to break even on Thursday,” Jordan said. Jordan said the chamber also decided to cut Thursdays to be conscious of the time volunteers were giving up in

order to run certain aspects of the festival like the food and beer tents. “We just felt like that there was a lot of effort put into Thursday night with a lot of volunteers giving up their time for very little return,” she said. “The carnival wasn’t really that busy … there was just a lot of people out there (volunteering) for not a huge attendance.” Jordan said no events from Thursday night will be reallocated into other days of the festival. “We’re going to see how it goes this year without Thursday, and if we get a lot of people telling us they really miss Thursday, it’s not that it wouldn’t come back in future years,” she said. “We think it’s going to help the festival overall by eliminating that one evening.”

Cats shoot season-low score Gaby leads Verona at Waunakee Shootout ANTHONY IOZZO Assistant sports editor
Photo by Anthony Iozzo
Junior Austin Gaby hits his second shot on the 18th hole Thursday in the Morgan Stanley Shootout at University Ridge Golf Course. Gaby finished tied for seventh with a 77 and helped Verona take fourth as a team with a 325.
Junior Austin Gaby came through from the No. 2 varsity spot Saturday at the Waunakee Shootout as Verona boys golf finished with its lowest score of the 2018 season. That followed a fourth-place finish at University Ridge and led up to a victory in a Big Eight triangular. Gaby finished with a 74 and earned tournament medalist honors. Three others shot 80 or better to help the Wildcats take first with a 311 at the Meadows of Sixmile Creek Golf Course. Coach Jon Rebholz said he encouraged “high-percentage golf” in the high winds at Waunakee. “There are some holes you can gamble on, and if you are successful, it can pay off,” he said. “But more often than not, the gamble is a little too chancy. “We played smart that day, and that is what impressed me and is the direction I want to get going with these guys.” Sophomore Cale Rufenacht finished fifth with a 78, and senior Garhett Kaegi followed with a 79, which tied him for sixth with Oregon’s Sam Schroeder, Lodi’s Brett Brownrigg and Waukesha West’s Bradey Lingle. Senior Logan Lindell finished the scoring with an 80, which tied him for 10th overall with Oregon’s John Klus.

Senior Jack Bates’ 97 was not counted toward the final score. “I have high expectations for these guys,” Rebholz said. “Am I impressed? Yes, but at the same time, I am thinking it is just a start for us this year.” Oregon took second with a 319, and Waunakee was third with a 329. Waunakee’s Sean Murphy and Oregon’s Ryan Candell tied for second with 75s, and Middleton’s Kip Sullivan was fourth with a 76.

Wildcats end in scoreless tie against West ANTHONY IOZZO Assistant sports editor
Verona girls soccer had two games against Big Eight rivals last week, playing to a scoreless draw against Madison West and falling to Middleton 2-0 on Tuesday. The Wildcats (2-1-2 overall and conference) have eight points in conference. Sun Prairie (3-0) and Madison East (3-1) both have nine points and are tied for first place. Middleton (2-0-1) has seven points. Verona has yet to play Madison East (May 10) or Sun Prairie (May 15) this season.

Cats drop three Big Eight games last week JEREMY JONES Sports editor
Verona softball coach Todd Anderson wanted to downplay the significance of last week’s Sun Prairie game with 14 more Big Eight games remaining, but he knew what it meant to his team. “It’s easy for me to do that. It’s not as easy for a player,” he said. “I told the girls before the game, today was just to measure where we are as a team six games into the season.” A couple of errors and a Division 1 pitcher silenced the Wildcats (8-3 overall, 7-3 conference) against Sun Prairie and the hangover carried over to the following day against Beloit Memorial before Verona came back with three conference wins. But Anderson was happy to see the team working out its problems early in the season. “The likelihood of a team going undefeated all the way is pretty slim,” he said after losing to Sun Prairie. “If my choice is winning today or winning three weeks from now or in the playoffs, the choice is obvious.”
Sun Prairie 6, Verona 1 Anderson’s assessment of the 6-1 loss at home against Sun Prairie on Wednesday, April 25, was a quick one: “We didn’t execute defensively, and we didn’t hit the ball,” he said. “Maddie

The Wildcats couldn’t say the same, allowing three unearned runs on a pair of errors. “We have game goals; one of them is two or fewer errors,” Anderson said. “If we do that and a few other things, we can play with anyone.

A year removed from a match that could have clinched a decisive fourth game against Middleton, seniors Swaminath and Hutchcroft found themselves in a familiar situation once again Thursday evening, April 26, at No. 1 doubles. They were up to the task this time, closing out their match 7-5, 6-3 win. Hutchcroft said the difference in scores between the two sets was continuing to hit to Middleton players, who were getting frustrated and hitting unforced errors by the second. Swaminath said the win felt especially good because of how things had ended against Middleton last season. “It felt good to get some redemption,” he added. Hutchcroft said it also felt amazing to secure the win as a doubles team on a squad with such a loaded singles lineup. “Our singles lineup is amazing, and they’ll all be back next year,” he said. As expected, the Wildcats swept all four singles matches, although it didn’t come easily for at least one flight. Verona rolled through wins at Nos. 1, 3 and 4 singles, but junior Chris Queoff had his hands full with Middleton’s Haiwen Dai. Queoff fought back from a second-set loss to win 6-3, 3-6, 6-2 at No. 2 singles. Verona cruised through the three other singles flights, led by Kevin Fan’s 6-0, 6-0 victory at No. 3 singles. Will Nelson added a 6-2, 6-3 win atop the lineup over fellow state qualifier Ryan Gold. Kush Nagpal capped the singles sweep with a 6-3, 6-0

Verona won three of four singles matches against Nicolet but were unable to come up with a decisive fourth win on the doubles side. Queoff had a chance to lock up the win but fell 6-3, 6-4 to Ben Chester at No. 2 singles. Swaminath and Hutchcroft also had a shot to close out the match, but they lost 7-5, 6-3 to Harry Rosmann and Sunil Sabnis atop the doubles lineup. Tennison defeated Jaden Aranda in a 6-4, 2-6, 10-8 tiebreaker at the top of the lineup. Meanwhile, Fan and Nagpal cruised 6-0, 6-0 and 6-1, 6-1 at the bottom of the singles lineup. Verona bounced back from its first loss of the season with a 6-1 win over Notre Dame. The Wildcats moved around the entire lineup for the match. Fan moved up to No. 1 singles from his usual No. 3 spot and rolled 6-3, 6-1. Swaminath jumped from No. 1 doubles to No. 3 singles and
won 6-4, 6-2. A fellow No. 1 doubles player, Hutchcroft, won an exciting No. 4 singles match 6-1, 7-6 (6). Verona’s top two singles players, Tennison and Queoff, played together at No. 1 doubles and won 6-1, 6-2.

The Wildcats blanked Sheboygan North and beat Brookfield Central 6-1 on Saturday. Fan and Swaminath each won 6-0, 6-0 at Nos. 2 and 3 singles against Sheboygan North, and Hutchcroft and Tennison matched the score at No. 1 doubles. Verona lost two games in singles action against Brookfield Central. Tennison and Queoff cruised 6-0, 6-0 atop the lineup and Fan and Nagpal added 6-1, 6-0 wins at Nos. 3 and 4.

Acker breaks VAHS record Competition within gets Cats ready for tourneys
Verona boys golf has a problem many teams wish they had – picking the top five to play on varsity. Coach Jon Rebholz said there are as many as seven boys who can shoot in the 70s, and that means after each meet, the scores are evaluated and a new top five can be chosen for the next meet. An example for the Wildcats’ depth came following tryouts a few weeks ago. Sophomore Cale Rufenacht, the 2017 Big Eight Conference tournament medalist, didn’t make it into the top-five varsity lineup. “They need to continue to shoot good rounds to stay in the top five, and that is only going to get the team ready for tournament time in the future,” Rebholz said. “The stakes are a little a higher, and the pressure is a little more. I think that is good for building tournament-tested golfers.” Senior Garhett Kaegi, a four-year varsity starter and two-time state qualifier, seniors Logan Lindell, Jack Bates and Connor Rufenacht and juniors Austin Gaby and Cale Rufenacht have all played on varsity this season. and West followed with a 368.

Jackson Acker has been zeroing in on the 10-year-old freshman shot put record of Drex Jackson nearly all season. Tuesday Acker got that record, besting Jackson’s 45 feet, 11 1/2 inches with a heave of 46-4 1/2 to win the shot put at the Wild-Card Invitational in Sun Prairie. The host Cardinals won the Big Eight triple dual with 72 points. Middleton was second with 59 and Verona, without distance runner Peter Barger, scored 47. Jackson, who also holds the sophomore record, went on to win the WIAA Division 1 state shot put title his senior year. “It’s a pretty big deal,” coach Joff Pedretti said.

Softball: Cats beat Parker, East Continued from page 11 bases-loaded jams in two of the first four innings. Anderson, who had tweaked her back the night before, felt better and tried to enter in the fourth inning but was not eligible. “We were going to go with her, but we had counted her as injured, so we didn’t have her on our lineup card,” Anderson said. But, he said, “Bostley threw well enough to win if we hit, and certainly well enough to not lose 6-1.” After Bostley went back out to the circle, she allowed two singles and a walk to load the bases. It looked like Verona might be able to work out of another jam after Bostley got a flyout and a fielder’s choice at home plate, but Skylar Muller singled to center to plate a run. That gave Sun Prairie a 2-1 lead before the ball scooted past center fielder Molly McChesney and allowed two more runs to score. The 4-1 lead was more than enough for University of Wisconsin-Madison recruit Gardner, who allowed five hits to Verona. Fellow UW recruit Savanna Rainey was the only Wildcat to plate a run against Sun Prairie, singling home McChesney, who had reached base on an error, in the bottom of the first inning. Sun Prairie added another run in the fifth, as no one made a play on a routine pop up on the right side of the infield and Muller grounded out to plate another run in the sixth. Gardner surrendered one run on five hits in a complete-game effort, striking out seven and walking one. Bostley allowed three earned runs on nine hits.
Beloit Memorial 13, Verona 3 (6 inn.) The Wildcats dropped a
second straight conference game Thursday, falling 13-3 to Beloit Memorial in six innings. Beloit took an early lead on a Verona error on the top the of the first, but Rainey knotted the score with an RBI triple in the home half of the inning. The Purple Knights pulled away with four runs in the second and four more in the four before capping the win with four more over the final two innings. A Verona error and a stolen base, along with a groundout and RBI single led to four runs by the Purple Knights in the second. Hannah Sirechi, Brynn Swanson, Tayanna Roman and Gracie Henthorn each moved runners across home plate in the fourth. Bostley got the start for Verona and lasted three innings. She allowed nine runs on five hits while striking out three. Emily Bloomfield tossed three innings of relief. First baseman Taytum Geier went 2-for-3 at the plate to lead Verona.

Obituary
ConnectVerona.com Bernice M. Solowicz
Bernice M. Solowicz
Bernice M. Solowicz, age 90, passed away peacefully in the evening hours of April 24, 2018, while residing at the Valley VNA Assisted Living Facility in Neenah. Bernice was born on Aug. 16, 1927, in Milwaukee, the third daughter to John and Bernice Czaplewski. Bernice grew up in West Allis, graduating from West Allis High School. During her high school years and eve n a f t e r g r a d u a t i n g , B e r n i c e wa s e m p l oy e d by her father’s business, Czaplewski Builders, as well as Allis Chalmers Corporation in support of
the war effort. During that time and at the request of her eventual sister-in-law Lenore, she began writing letters to a young man who was overseas in the Navy by the name of Bob Solowicz. Upon Bob’s safe return from the war, the two continued their courtship and were married on Oct. 2, 1948. Bob’s career with Wisconsin Bell initially took them to Lake Geneva, where Bernice was employed at a local funeral home. A transfer back to Milwaukee offered Bob and Bernice an opportunity to have Grandpa Czaplewski build them a home and they eventually settled on Clover Knoll Place in New Berlin to raise their family. Bernice was a longtime employee and docent for The Medical College of Wisconsin in Wauwatosa. Her dedication to her duties only waned in deference to her sons’ extra-curricular activities. She never missed a ball game and was a fixture in the stands for every contest. In addition to raising
their two sons, Bob and Bernice were active memb e r s o f S t . E d m u n d ’s Episcopal Church in Elm Grove, as well as diligent volunteers throughout their broader community. Whether it was youth-focused, community-focused or faith-focused Bob and Bernice gave freely of their time, talent and treasure in support of causes near and dear to their hearts. Bernice was a fierce Bridge player and her and Bob shared some great t i m e s w i t h m a ny d e a r friends across a card table. Together, their social lives were legendary, spanning the globe in search of good time while in some cases towing a golf bag. Bernice
was known to enjoy a Gimlet, and Bob a Manhattan as they taught their sons that “it’s Four O’clock somewhere…” Their retirement years were mostly spent in Panama City Beach, Fla., from Dec. 26 through the end of March. They were able to meet and grow close to some of the friendliest Canadians and fellow snow birds from all over the Midwest. Bernice was preceded in death by her parents, siblings and most of her in-laws as well as “her boyfriend” Bob who she was married to for nearly 63 years. Bernice is survived by three sisters-in-law: Jean

Solowicz of West Allis, Mary White of Marshfield, and Rose Ann Martin of New Berlin. Bernice is also survived by her sons, Clark (MaryJo) Solowicz of Verona and Al (Cathy) Solowicz of Neenah. Bernice is further survived by and blessed with her six grandchildren, Claire, Anna, Jenny, Ally, Sam and Katey as well two special puppy-dogs who think the world of her, Mia and Parker; numerous nieces, nephews and a great number of other relatives and close friends. A deep sense of admiration and thanks to all the friends of Bernice who served her needs at Island Shores Independent Living
as well as the kind hearted and generous staffs at the Valley VNA, Theda Care Hospice Services and St. Gabriel Catholic Church, all located in Neenah. In lieu of flowers, Bernice’s desire is for contributions of time, talent or treasure be made to St. Mary Catholic High School Booster Club, Neenah, or The Verona Area High School Volleyball Boosters, Verona. Memorial services will take place on Tuesday, May 2, 2018, at St. Bartholomew Episcopal Church, N27 W24000 Paul Court, Pewaukee, WI 53072. The family will receive guests at 9 a.m. until time of Memorial Service at 11.

Purple Goose moving
Senior: 160-acre neighborhood
Building would become a home
Continued from page 1
The Purple Goose is on the way out of the 400 W. Verona Ave. building it’s called home for more than a decade, and homeowners could be on the way in. Purple Goose owner Halley Jones would not confirm where her fashion boutique shop is going, only that it will remain in Verona, as a sign in front of the building and other messages have promised. “Exciting changes on the horizon,” an April 21 Facebook post read. “And yes, we’re staying in Verona.” Responding this week to a Facebook message, Jones wrote, “Soon I will share.” The building could end up switching from a commercial use back to the house it once was if city leaders agree with a proposal to change its zoning. The proposal being discussed at Monday’s Plan Commission meeting would leave the garage as a business incubator and change the zoning from urban commercial to neighborhood commercial.
purchased land in that area for a potential clinic and residential campus north of Valley Road, but it never carried through with those plans. It took the city three years to gain state approval to add that area to its urban service area, meaning it could connect it to sewer service. The proposed development is just outside of what was added in 2012, meaning the city would have to not only annex it from the town but also add it to its urban service area. However, because of state rules that were enacted in 2014, the state must act on applications within 90 days. City planning director Adam Sayre said the big question for the commission and the Common Council will be a policy issue because the land it’s on was originally planned for such uses as a business park. As a result, it would need an amendment to the city’s comprehensive plan.
