Verona man recalls 11 years hiking Appalachian Trail Unified Newspaper Group
Bill Florac’s “trail name” could have been broken ankle. Instead, it became “one boot” after a bear gnawed on his hiking boot while he and others could only stand by and watch. The Verona resident managed to recover his slightly damaged boot. And a couple of years later, on July 10, he completed his last segment of the Appalachian Trail. Florac, 59, began hiking the 2,168mile trail 11 years ago and knocked off sections each year since then, mostly in two-week treks. He told the Press he often hiked with people he met along the trail,
and his daughter Lexi, a student at UW-Madison, joined him for seven of the 11 years he hiked, beginning when she was 13. “I always hiked in late June and into July, except for the one time that I broke my ankle,” recalled Florac, engineer at Electronic Theater Controls in Middleton who’s lived here for 23 years. He did that last year during his second hike of the season. It’s not much of a story – he simply slipped on a flat rock during a mild rain, put his foot back to break the fall and broke his ankle instead. His encounter with the boot-chomping bear makes a better story. He was sitting on a stump outside The
Verona Press
a shelter in the Smokey Mountains, he explained, when the bear suddenly appeared. Florac was with a family of hikers at the time, and they all retreated to the shelter and attempted to scare the animal away. But apparently this bear had no fear of humans. In his rush to get inside the shelter, Florac left his boots sitting outside. “It grabbed a boot, took off with it and sat down about 20 yards away and chewed on it,” he recalled. “He didn’t damage the boot too badly. It kind of laid down on the ground and was rolling back and forth gnawing on the strings.” After five or 10 minutes, the bear

Long hike for ‘one boot’ BILL LIVICK
It’s easy to pass the time chatting with Verona’s economic development manager, Dayna Sarver. Almost too easy. The 38-year-old former stay-at-home mom has a bu s y l i f e and a lot of ground yet to cover after two months in the newly created posi- Sarver tion, but that ability to relate to people is an important part of getting
to know as many local business owners as possible. A n d w h i l e t h e I ow a native knows Verona well – she’s lived here for the past 15 years – she “had no reason” to make those connections before. Now, it’s her main assignment as part of the four-person economic development team within Verona City Center, along with the administrator and the planning department. It’s a crucial part of retaining existing businesses, she told the Press in a nearly two-hour interview last month, an easily overlooked aspect of economic development. The job involves chatting with a lot of people about a lot of different things – not just the businesses she wants to make sure are happy here but the “community

A splash of color Sidewalks around the Dane County area have been getting a little bit more colorful, including one at the library. Dane Arts Mural Arts, a public art project that beautifies neighborhoods through creating murals and training artists on collaborations with youth, painted a mural above a storm drain on a sidewalk near the library entrance. The goal of the murals, lead artist Emida Roller told the Press, is to get people to think about what kind of trash ends
up in storm drains, and what impact it has on Dane County’s waterways, where it ends up. Roller’s daughter Sapphina designed the library mural. She said she took inspiration for the painting, comprised of ducks, other wildlife and lily pads, from the Badger Prairie County Park right next door to the library.

Letters to the editor
Rural charm should be preserved About two years ago, I retired from a career of medical practice to live at my home in the Town of Verona. Although I have lived here for 24 years, and raised my children here, it is the first chance I’ve had to spend a lot of time at home. Every day I see wild turkeys foraging in the open land near the woods behind our house. In the spring, I’ve watched the mating strut of the big toms and, a few weeks later, seen the hens bring out their brood to comb through the grass for food. In the fall, big bucks with six-pointed antlers strut and snort looking for mates. This summer I’ve watched many deer, but most intently one young doe that has been cautiously and patiently nursing twin fawns who are almost weaned. Most cold winter nights I hear great horned owls hooting to each other, calling and responding with their mating calls. This summer they are raising their young and I can hear them hooting again, maybe celebrating a successful hunt. Many nights, summer or winter, I hear a pack of coyotes who are prowling the woods and neighbors’ yards as they hunt
rabbits and squirrels to feed their voracious pups. Sometimes they are so loud they’ll wake me up with a startle in the wee hours before dawn. I’ve served on a committee of the Town of Verona as we discuss, debate, and edit our new 10-year Comprehensive Plan. We are expecting an onslaught of new housing in the Town as Epic, the City of Verona, and Dane County grow and we’re trying to decide where to put everybody. We’re also trying to preserve the “rural character” of the town. The discussion centers on seeing cows in fields, preserving farmland and too much traffic on the roads. I’m hoping we can preserve enough open land to allow future generations to experience what I have come to appreciate too. The land is also here for all of the animals that live on it, and who have been here a lot longer than my 24 years. We can live compatible with nature if we try. I was able to raise my children on the same land that the turkeys, deer, owls and coyotes are using to raise theirs. I hope that can continue for many more generations. David Lonsdorf Town of Verona

Getting engaged to democracy is an important relationship
I
’m a relative newcomer to Verona. I could have picked any place in the world to live, but I picked Verona. I love the library and the senior center. People are friendly and smart. What’s not to like? I care about my community. I have noticed since moving here that some people feel left out or disconnected from the government or politics. Others are more involved than ever before. Grassroots activist groups are popping up everywhere. My parents, southern Wisconsin farmLindberg ers, taught me that it is my responsibility and an honor to exercise my right to vote. I believe democracy depends on engagement by as many people as possible, and I realized there are many ways to become engaged in the governmental process. I admit it takes some effort to make informed decisions. The internet has changed how I do my research. Voter forums have allowed me to get a real feel for who the candidates were. I called city hall to find out what my districts are, and they were helpful and patient. Getting a sample ballot for all elections from the city web site helps me prepare. As soon as the sample ballot is available, anyone can participate in early voting,
which is held during regular business hours at city hall and at select alternate locations and times. This is offered to people so they can go on a day that works them. I realized the more I got involved the more interesting politics became. I’m still learning about Verona city government. There is a lot happening. Last spring, I got involved in the local election and found it quite exciting. There were many very qualified candidates. We had more women run than ever before. There is now a majority of women on the council. I had an opportunity to personally meet many of our alders and am feeling very optimistic about their new ideas. They all have their “Vision for Verona.” I look forward to learning more about their long-term vision. Making calls to residents and urging them to vote was very rewarding. It also spurred me to get more involved, as I realized they appreciated having someone to ask questions. I was able to answer some of their general questions, and some thanked me for calling. Some didn’t answer, but I’m fairly sure they would listen to my message and go vote. The city website has a wealth of information. It does try my patience when I can’t find what I want. But I just call city hall and they cheerfully help me. You can find meeting agendas and minutes posted there, too. I’ve watched some of the recorded council meetings on
the city’s YouTube channel. It’s easy to fast forward so you don’t have to watch the entire meeting. There is always room for public comment. Every city council meeting has a public comment period. I can attend and express appreciation or concern. I learned about one of my alders and what her responsibilities are. She also serves on committees, commissions and boards, as they all do. I recently discovered a list of pending and approved development projects on the city website. There are a lot of projects on the drawing board. There are so many ways to get involved and participate. Many Verona residents serve on citizen commissions and boards. The city is also looking for election workers, and there is a stipend for that duty. Even if you don’t participate actively, there are many ways to stay engaged. First and foremost, be sure to vote in every election. Our rights and freedom depend on people showing up at the polls. It is an exciting time for Verona. I feel empowered by making a positive impact on my community. Democracy works best when we make our voices heard. Our representatives are there to serve us. I started out small and slowly, and I’m enjoying serving my community. JoAnne Lindberg is a City of Verona resident.

Paul Natzke, who died at the age of 15 last August, competed on the Belleville and Verona track teams in the 100-meter wheelchair race and wheelchair shot put. Natzke’s parents Kathie and Jim tried to incorporate his love for sports into the upcoming PaulPalooza event.

things you do for people), but for me, for other people to do something in Paul’s memory and then tell me about it, it made me feel good,” she said. “When we already had ‘Paul’s Party’ established, and when we decided to do something for the anniversary, we thought, ‘well, why don’t we have a real party?’” Natzke said the goal is to make the event as reflective of Paul’s life as possible, with live music from eight different musical acts, food that reflects his love of cheese – the one cheesy food item they weren’t able to incorporate as of yet was
macaroni and cheese – and a fundraiser for three charities that mattered to him. One organization benefiting from the event, The Wisconsin Skeeters Sled Hockey team, was a large part of Paul’s life, Natzke said, as he played the sport for close to a decade. “It was his thing,” she said. “He really, really loved sled hockey. It really helped him grow.” The second organization, Baycliff Health Camp, was a seven-week summer camp that included therapy-based activities that helped him gain independence. Donate Life Wisconsin will also be a benefactor of the PaulPalooza fundraiser. Natzke said that while Paul was alive, the organization didn’t mean as much to them, but following his death and the donation of his heart, liver, pancreas, kidneys and eyes, it turned into something significant. “It was super cool – he had spina bifida, so his body
failed him his whole life while he was here – but he was able to save other people,” she said. A booth at the event will raise additional funds for the Verona and Belleville Track and Field teams that Paul competed with. T h e ev e n t w i l l a l s o include a basket raffle at 4:30 p.m. that day, which Natzke said will reflect his love of sports through the prizes given away. “The whole purpose of it is to remember Paul, and celebrate him,” she said. “We’re trying to incorporate as much as we can so that people who knew him will be like, ‘ahh, Paulie loved that,’ and people who don’t know him can come and go, ‘Gosh, this is fun. I bet he was a cool kid.’” Email reporter Kimberly Wethal at kimberly. wethal@wcinet.com and follow her on Twitter @ kimberly_wethal.

Parents host fundraiser in honor of late VAHS student
As Kathie Natzke went out to lunch with her husband Jim on Mother’s Day for the first time without their son Paul, she knew a few days this year were going to “suck.” Paul, who was born with spina bifida, died last August after an unexpected accident. The 15-year-old Fitchburg resident was on the Verona Area High School track and field team, where he competed in 100-meter wheelchair race and wheelchair shot put, of which he won the WIAA medal for the former. “My first Mother’s Day without him, I thought, ‘ooh, this is going to suck,’” she said. “And then we started talking about what else is going to suck? Father’s Day. That’s going to suck. “And what’s going to suck even the most is the anniversary,” she added. “We were like, ‘what can we do to make it more of a celebration of his life instead of a big pity party?’” They hope an upcoming party, dubbed “PaulPalooza,” can help turn that pity around. The event will take place this year from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 19, at The Hop Garden, 6818 Canal St., Paoli. It was born out of an online party Natzke and her husband planned last December via Facebook that served as a “kindness campaign,” in which they asked people to do something nice for another person in Paul’s memory. “I know you’re not supposed to talk about (the nice

“Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” — Ephesians 4:31-32 NIV We all sometimes hold on to anger and bitterness for too long. There is something in us which wants to savor the bitterness of real or imagined wrongs which have been done to us. We obsessively return in our mind to what the person said or did, like touching the sore of a wound. But just as your mother reminded you to stop picking your scabs, we would do well to let go of anger and bitterness. In the book “Flourish,” the psychologist Martin Seligman reports that “Holding on to anger and bitterness maintains depression and undermines well-being.” Besides being the Christian thing to do, and a reflection of God’s forgiveness, forgiving others allows us to move on with our lives. It’s always better to forget the wrongs done to us in the past and move forward with plans for a better future. Some people are blessed with the ability to almost immediately let things go, while others are cursed with a long memory for grievances. So even if you cannot manage to forget the wrong done to you, you might still find it in your power to forgive. – Christopher Simon

Sugar River Garden Club awards civic beautification award to Verona couple The gardens of Sharon and Mark Rohlfing have been selected for Sugar River Garden Club’s annual Civic Beautification Award. The Rohlfings, 1023 Onyx Court, Verona, have been in their home for 18 years and have gradually enhanced their property with gardens providing continuous bloom throughout the summer. A gently bubbling waterfall offers welcoming “music” as you approach the front porch with its colorful window boxes and brilliant hanging baskets. Sharon Rohlfing says that all of the credit for their beautiful place must go to Mark, assisted by daughter, Karen, when she has time to come up from Milwaukee to help. Mark started gardening at a very early age, learning
from his dad, who was a meticulous gardener. Mark worked at local greenhouses as he grew up, and shares that enthusiasm with students as he teaches science and math at Core Knowledge Charter School Sharon, who teaches first grade at Country View Elementary School, says she treasures summertime when she can relax on their spacious front porch and just enjoy the gardens. The Sugar River Garden Club local garden club has been awarding the Civic Beautification Award to Verona gardeners since 2003. The garden is worked on by Mark with the assistance of their daughter Karen. – Submitted by Susan Smith of the Sugar River Garden Club

Home Talent League
Cavaliers crush Orioles Moynihan drives in six, trio combines on no-hitter
What’s next Top-seeded Verona hosts No. 5 Pine Bluff/Mount Horeb in the Western Section quarterfinals at 1 p.m. Sunday.
MARK NESBITT Assistant sports editor
After a stunning first-round playoff exit last year, the Verona Home Talent team made sure there was no letdown this postseason. Verona third baseman John Moynihan went 3-for-4 with six RBIs and three Cavalier pitchers combined on a no-hitter as the Cavaliers bashed Oregon 18-1 in seven innings Sunday at Stamfl Field. The last time Oregon made the playoffs four years ago, the Orioles upset Verona. “It was a huge game offensively, and it kind of set the tone for the playoffs that we are not going to fold for any team and we will come out and give them our best,” Verona manager David Lund said. Verona (15-2) pounded out 19 hits in the first-round Western Section playoff game and every player in the starting lineup had at least one hit. The Cavaliers went 11-for21 with runners in scoring position. “All of us were seeing it (the ball) today,” Moynihan said. “We got all aspects done and came out with a win.” With the win, top-seeded Verona will host Pine Bluff-Mount Horeb at 1 p.m. Sunday in a Western Section semifinal. Starting pitcher Jason Erxleben pitched four no-hit innings for the Cavaliers, retiring 12 straight batters and striking out four to earn the win. Kyle Nelson tossed two shutout innings in relief and Jeff Bishop pitched a scoreless seventh. Lund said he considered leaving Erxleben in to pitch with a perfect game going through four innings. “We feel confident throwing either guy out there,” Lund said. “We came in and wanted to get four or five (innings) from Jason and then ride Nelly (Nelson) for four or five innings to get them both work so they are sharp. If we can pitch like that we will be a tough team to beat.”
the Cavaliers a 4-0 lead. Moynihan followed with an RBI single and Luke Yapp blasted a 2-run double to left to extend the Cavaliers’ lead to 6-0. Oregon’s Logan Laski struggled with his control in the third, walking Verona’s Tucker Teskey and Klayton Brandt. Teskey stole second and scored later on a wild pitch. The big blow in the third came on Moynihan’s 2-run double that gave the Cavaliers a 9-0 lead. Verona sealed the win with a four-run fourth. Tristan Largent led off with a single and Jacob Slonim walked. Teskey then poked an RBI single to right and Brandt followed, ripping an RBI single to left to give the Cavaliers a 12-0 lead. Jordahl then knocked in a run on a sacrifice fly to give Verona a 13-0 lead. The Cavaliers got contributions from everyone, with four players off the bench delivering hits in the bottom of the sixth. Brad Laufenberg led off with a double to left. Brandt followed with a single. Tyler McClure then drove in a run with a single and Mitch Flora singled to left.

Trail: Florac split more than 2,000 miles of hike over 11 years, loved meeting other hikers Continued from page 1 left without the boot, and Florac retrieved it. “The family gave me the name of ‘one boot,’” he said, adding, “I’ve seen bears in every state except Maine.”
The urge to hike Florac said he grew up in the Poughkeepsie, N.Y., area and used to hike in the Catskill Mountains “all the time.” He didn’t hike much after moving away to attend college, he said, and then, 12 years ago, he and his wife visited the Smokey Mountains. “I hiked to the top of Klingman’s Dome, the highest mountain in the Smokies, and the Appalachian Trail crosses there,” he explained. “I saw the trail sign and thought, ‘Hmmm, I haven’t hiked in a while, maybe I should go hiking again.’ That was my inspiration right there.” Eleven years and more than 2,000 miles later, Florac has lots of stories, photos and memories of hiking what many serious trekkers consider the country’s most difficult trail. Initially, he said, his thought was to take a year off and do what’s called a through-hike. But with a family – his wife and two daughters – a career and a home to care for, it wasn’t feasible. So he decided to do it in sections. “I can hardly believe that I’ve been doing it for 11 years now,” he said. “There’s no way I thought I’d do it like that. I had three friends who were going to do it with me, but one by one they backed out, and so I ended up going by myself (and sometimes
Bill Florac and his daughter, Lexi, prepare to tackle another segment of the Appalachian Trail. Appalachian Trail hiker Bill Florac enjoys a rare calm day atop Mt. Washington in New Hampshire. with Lexi).”
Rewards and challenges Florac said hikers tend to remember the fun times and forget the bad, but hiking the trail was full of challenges. The biggest, he said, was taking care of his feet. The other was rainfall, which is as much a mental obstacle as physical. “It took a while for me to figure out how to take care of my feet,” he recalled. “The biggest thing
that helped was switching from boots to trail runners. I did that three years ago, and it made a big difference.” The boots caused blisters, he said, and there’s no such thing as a waterproof boot. “Sooner or later, you’re gonna get water in your boots, and waterproof boots will then hold the water in, so your feet are sloshing around in wet boots,” Florac observed. “Once your feet get wet, either with rain or sweat,

then you get blisters and sores easier.” Trail runners are basically mesh, so feet get wet but they also dry out fast, he said. “In Maine, you have to ford about six rivers, and there are times when I didn’t even bother to take my shoes off,” Florac remembered. “I’d just walk through the water.” He said his favorite geographical part of the Appalachian Trail was the White Mountains of
New Hampshire, where much of the trail is above the treeline. He imagined it’s what it would be like to walk on the moon. But even better than the topography and landforms is the people he met along the way. “The people and the culture of the trail has become like a second family to me,” Florac said. “That’s something I will miss. I’d glad to have finished, but I’m gonna miss the trail. There’s a real camaraderie out there.” Contact Bill Livick at bill.livick@ wcinet.com

Sarver: Husband encouraged her to go back to school after 10 years as ‘just a mom’ Continued from page 1 partners” that can help by providing amenities and support for workers. “Community economic development, in its simplest way, is about developing relationships,” she said. “Your state (agencies), the chamber, the local school district, the library, the senior center, the food pantry all kind of come together.” With four kids, she said, such a job could quickly be overwhelming without all the support she gets from her pharmacist husband, Cory. He could also be considered responsible for the career she has today, she said, having encouraged her to go back to college after 10 years of being “just a mom” to take a graduate program at UW-Madison in urban planning. While in college, she researched downtown businesses in various communities for UW-Extension, and after getting her master’s degree, she spent three years working with downtown Janesville. Those experiences make her well-suited to take on a task that’s been a high priority for the Common Council for years – getting more out of Verona’s downtown. Helping an affluent, mostly white suburb in the Heartland seems a far cry from what got her to take on a post-maternal career in the first place, a keen interest in poverty and racial disparities. But she has no trouble connecting that passion to what she’s doing now. It started with her own humble beginnings but really grabbed her attention during
‘Community economic development, in its simplest way, is about developing relationships.’ Dayna Sarver Verona economic development manager a church trip to Peru in 2010, where she found herself energized by discussions many others tuned out – about connections between education and economic opportunities. And now, she sees her calling not only to help struggling entrepreneurs, but also to bring opportunity to the often socioeconomically disadvantaged employees of small businesses. Certainly, that was more of a front-and-center issue in Janesville, which has had a struggling economy since General Motors shut down its factory there in 2009. But Sarver also believes there are needs “we’re not seeing” here, and the “workforce housing” Janesville worked with developers on often during her time has continued to surface as a topic for Verona’s council in the past few years. That’s a discussion that hits home. “My mom was a single mom, and she put herself through nursing school,” Sarver said. “We lived for a couple of years in an affordable housing complex … I didn’t know I was poor until a neighbor came to borrow eggs (and quickly discovered we couldn’t afford them).” Now, many years after that neighbor paid it forward by dropping some desperately needed groceries at their door, Sarver will be the go-to

Flight of the ‘Vultures’ Rettenmund to recall flying helicopters in Vietnam
County Hwy. PB is expected to reopen on Friday, Aug. 17, after being shut down since early May.

PB: Crews to add final safety measures in the next week Continued from page 1 “It’s been on schedule, which is a good thing – usually projects are delayed,” he said. “Especially with all the rain we got this year, they were able to stay on schedule and coordinate any modifications it needed. I thought they did a good job.” The bridge reconstruction is a joint project with the Town of Verona. As of this week, the pavement is in place on the road, Jacobson said, but there are safety measures that need to be completed before the road can fully reopen. Those include beam guards, a blinking pedestrian crossing beacon for Military Ridge State Trail, pavement striping and landscaping
around the bridges. The road will open in time for the Ironman Wisconsin race to pass over the bridge for the Sunday, Sept. 9, race, avoiding a violation of the city’s contract with the event organizers. The detour for the construction took travelers onto Hwy. M for the three-month closure. “ We u n d e r s t a n d t h a t it’s been a disruption, but it’s been a much-needed improvement for replacing the bridge and making that stretch of road safer,” Jacobson said.

What: Verona Area Historical Society August meeting When: 10 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 11 Where: Verona Senior Center, 108 Paoli St. Info: veronahistory.com
Rettenmund will talk about surviving two helicopter crashes in 1966, and the injury caused by shrapnel during a mortar attack that led to him receiving a Purple Heart. He’ll also discuss the “on the job training” he had on the fly, such as what to do with mechanical failures, fixing damage, gun jams, and even how he helped his injured door gunner survive using lessons from high school biology.

WHO
In the spring of 1965, Bill Rettenmund was living the quiet rural life in nearby Belleville, enjoying his youth. Within a year, he would b e h a l f wa y a c r o s s t h e world, leading an assault helicopter crew above the dense, enemy-infested jungles of Vietnam. People can hear all about those experiences Saturday, Aug. 11, as Rettenmund is the featured speaker for the Verona Area Historical Society’s monthly meeting, set for 10 a.m. at the senior center. A Verona resident since the 1990s, he’ll talk about what it was like to be drafted as a young man into the Army and trained as a helicopter mechanic and crew chief in 162nd Assault H e l i c o p t e r C o m p a n y, known as “The Vultures.” Through January of 1967, he flew air assault and transport missions on a D-model Huey helicopter from a base camp in Phouc Vinh.

Gum recession affects persons of all ages. It may be caused by clenching and grinding your teeth, crooked or misaligned teeth, aggressive brushing, tobacco use, or gum disease. When gum recession occurs, the root structure of your tooth becomes exposed and may be sensitive. Tooth decay may occur along the gum line and damage to tooth roots may occur.
