Obsessed with answers Verona native writes book after discovering historical mystery Press correspondent
For years, Verona native Carolyn Porter has been infatuated with love letters written by a man she never met. Porter, a graphic designer, had been perusing an antique shop in Stillwater, Minn., for source material for her “passion project” – designing a font – when she found letters written with gorgeous handwriting, in a language she couldn’t read. Once translated, it uncovered the story of a French man living in a labor camp during World War II, writing to his wife and daughters. Porter has brought that story to life in her book, “Marcel’s Letters: A Font and The Search For One Man’s Fate,” published in June 2017.
The book weaves together two true stories, Porter told the Press: one of her desire to complete her passion project, which took 12 years to design; the other, to ensure a man named Marcel Huezé was not forgotten by history. “The second part of the story is a search for answers,” she said. “Who was Marcel, and Porter why were his letters for sale in an antique store in Minnesota? What happened to his family? Why was he in a labor camp in World War II? “And the biggest question, the question that confused me for so long, what happened to him?” To find that out, you’ll have to read

the book, as Porter asked to not give away the answer. She looks at the letters as a sort of historical mystery, and she tries to take readers on the same journey she experienced. The decision to write the book came after she had one of the letters translated while working on the font. Her interest in typography dates back to her time in the Paoli 4-H Fireballs 4-H club. The posters for the 4-H projects she exhibited were all handwritten. Porter grew up between Paoli and Verona, off County Highway PB, living there from age 3 to the end of her eighth-grade year, when her family moved to Minnesota. She still checks in with classmates from time to time. The book, which took a quarter of

Fitch-Rona EMS turns 40 Advancements in technology lead to better service KIMBERLY WETHAL Press correspondent
Forty looks good on Fitch-Rona EMS. The Fitch-Rona EMS has come a long way since starting as a volunteer organization with one ambulance truck in Fitchburg in September 1977. Today, it has become a service that employs fulltime paramedics, can send electrocardiograms (EKG) to doctors waiting at a hospital and is looking to add a third ambulance
as early as 2018, when the newest station on the northeast side of Fitchburg is built. Brian Myrland, FitchRona EMS’ chief, joined the program in 2002 as a volunteer who wanted to give back to the community and was intrigued Myrland by the idea of working with the EMS. Since then, he’s seen the Fitch-Rona EMS become the second-biggest emergency medical service in Dane County, following

Verona Area School District
New parent group will advise on personalized learning Unified Newspaper Group
The Verona Area School District is hoping to get parents involved in the personalized learning rollout this fall with a new advisory council. The council has not yet been established, and district officials are still in the early stages of deciding how members will be selected, though they expect to have a parent or staff member from each school – including the charters – in the group. The goal of personalized learning is to give each student “voice and choice” in how they learn, which supporters have said will allow all students to be more interested and engaged at school. Some parents have questioned the district’s
implementation so far, finding the idea difficult to understand and worrying the practice is too reliant on technology. During a presentation at the district’s annual meeting Aug. 21, director of technology and personalized learning Amy Arbogash told the school board administrators hope to get feedback on a range of topics from the group. That includes how to improve the district’s website, an assessment of the talking points and communication plan for personalized learning and planning a February 2018 community informational event. Officials also hope the group can review Epiphany Learning, the software the district is using for personalized learning plans. Those plans, which the board has asked to have for
every student by the 2018-19 school year, outline a student’s strengths and weaknesses, as well as provide information like what teachers they are close to at school or potential future career paths. The district is still training teachers on the software but began to roll it out for some students last year. Personalized learning plans were slated to be available for every student by the 2016-17 school year under the goal set by the board in April 2013, but that was delayed in July 2015 as administrators recognized the training needs that remained before that could become a reality.

years, while the bronze level is for being at that level for a single year. The RtI Center is a joint effort of the statewide network of the Cooperative Educational Service Agency and the state Department of Public Instruction. It was created to help schools implement and sustain student behavioral support practices like Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports, which is used throughout
VASD. These models, which focus among other things, on rewards, rather than punishment, have been controversial in Verona, partly because of their inconsistent application over the past few years, but administrators are strongly in favor. Full implementation in this case means a system is “culturally responsive” and has increasing student supports in academics and behavior. SC principal Todd Brunner wrote in an email to parents that the school’s behavior framework “leads to improved … outcomes” in classes and behavior. SC was the first VASD school to fully embrace
the PBIS model, which has since become one of four district-wide behavior initiatives. Both schools have been recognized by the state PBIS network in the past, as well. Contact Scott Girard at ungreporter@wcinet.com and follow him on Twitter @sgirard9.

Reading no evil doesn’t make it not exist O ne of the many interesting experiences I had as editor of the Verona Press involved a story that hadn’t happened yet. In the 1990s and early 2000s, several older houses in downtown Verona were moved whole to locations on the outskirts of the city. Workers would put a house on a semi-trailer and haul it right down the street. It was fascinating to watch, but from the newspaper’s perCurtis spective there wasn’t much news value other than a cool picture of a house traveling through Verona’s main intersection; the important reporting was the disruption. People needed to know wires would come down and traffic would be rerouted. One day, I got a call from a longtime Verona resident, and she was beside herself. The downtown Verona house where she grew up was being moved the following week, and for sentimental reasons she was unhappy about it. I mean tears and screaming. I tried my best to be nice as the woman lectured me on how to do my job. She loudly insisted I not make any mention of this move in the Press, period, and there would be no pictures. When I told her it was my duty to warn people of the traffic and utility disruption, she leveled mild threats toward me and called me names. When I explained I reserved the option to publish a picture, she slammed the phone down and called my boss. We didn’t print a picture, but the woman canceled her subscription, anyway. This is just one of many stories I could share about people who did not want to see news of
any kind that upset them personally or affected something they cared about. It didn’t matter how important or accurate the story was or if it had value to someone else. I’ve been reminded of this over the past several weeks as stories linking football, concussions and chronic traumatic encephalopathy have been all over the news. I now work for the Brain Injury Alliance of Wisconsin, and part of my job is to spread awareness of the dangers of concussions and more serious brain injuries. I have recently appeared on local television news and in several newspapers around the state to talk about the risks of sports concussions. My message is pretty benign. Basically, I tell people if they play sports and get a concussion, be smart about it. Don’t rush back into the game because your future is literally at stake. While most people who receive a concussion will recover, I’ve met hundreds of people in my work whose lives have been upended by a seemingly mundane bump on the head. I don’t want this to happen to anyone else. This is important information, but just like the woman with the house move, on several occasions people have expressed anger toward me or reporters who have interviewed me because they didn’t like the message. Here’s just a sampling of actual comments following articles in which I was featured: “I played football when I was a kid, and I’m just fine.” “Some people think we should wrap kids in bubble wrap.” “Why are liberals trying to destroy football?” Many of the comments were mean, crude, and in some cases, downright ignorant of medical science. While people are always free to disagree with news and information, even at their own peril, my true concern is for a deeper
problem. It seems many people can no longer read the news without picking a side to be on and then defending that side as if in a knife fight to the death. This past week, my Facebook page has been sour with people screeching at each other about Confederate Civil War monuments, racism and history. Before Charlottesville, these same people were talking past each other about climate change, election tampering and underinflated footballs. To paraphrase a local football hero, hey everyone, relax. Among the greatest lessons I learned during my time at the Press was no matter what the news is, it is highly likely someone will not like it. Certain people would argue if you printed day was followed by night. It was an occupational hazard. But another lesson I learned was that things that seem right in the moment are often viewed differently with time or better light. In my own reporting experience, I can think of heroes who turned out to be villains, projects people opposed that they now embrace emphatically, and a highly unpopular development decision that with hindsight was the right thing to do. This does not mean people should not debate issues or approach any news with healthy skepticism. Quite the contrary. Just realize that the opinion you hold now may not be the opinion you hold later, so maybe you should not dig your heels in quite so deep and eschew bombast and vitriol. As for that house, I drive past it several times each week. A family has been living happily in it for at least 15 years. I wonder what that woman thinks now?

Well, that went by quickly. Though there’s still technically two weeks of summer left on the calendar, with many kids going back to school Tuesday, the season is all but a memory. But at the Verona Public Library, it will be memories full of lots of summer reading and fun. More than 2,000 kids and teens signed up for this year’s summer reading programs at the Verona Public Library, where head of youth services/assistant director Julie Harrison said things were bustling along. “We had another busy summer,” she said in an email to the Press, noting that the program included six weeks of arts and crafts, storytimes and activities. The program’s cost of more than $9,000 was funded in whole by the Friends of the Verona Public Library. “We’re very grateful for their generous support,” Harrison said.

Another new program this summer was “Preschool Cool,” which combined sensory and movement activities with stories. It was the second year for the 0-2 reading program, and kids with 30 books read to them and who completed early literacy activities
received a free book. Participants in the ages 3-11 group received coupons and prizes for reading, including a free scoop from Culver’s of Verona and a free book. Participants in the ages 12-18 group received coupons for reading, including a pass to Fireman’s Park Beach. For the adult reading program, adults could fill out a postcard for each book read, and were entered into weekly drawings for local gift certificates. That wasn’t all. To celebrate this year’s theme, kids who finished their reading records earned a brown sticker, which they could place on either a paper cow or two paper goats as a vote for which animal the library should send via Heifer International. “The cow received the most votes,” Harrison noted. She said the summer’s most popular program was Tween Crafts: Slime. Favorite performers were Mark Hayward’s Super Awesome Yo-Yo Day, Yid Vicious and Truly Remarkable Loon.

Look for the Helpers “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” —James 1:27 NIV Fred Rogers, the creator and host of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, reported that his mother had once said that whenever something horrible happens, something tragic or catastrophic, to always look for the helpers. They may be on the sidelines, or even behind the scenes, but they will always be there, and this gives us reason for hope. No matter how many times we see these horrific terror attacks which kill innocent people, among them often children, we will see the helpers rushing to the scene to do whatever they can. Natural disasters are the same. People from around the world will offer their time and money, and often their very lives to help others, and this should give us hope for humanity. Despite our pettiness, our pugnacious tendencies and our downright depravity, most of us want to be decent human beings, and one way we can be decent and good is by helping our fellow human beings in need. You don’t have to look far for someone who needs your help. The next time you are tempted to write off humanity as vile and totally depraved, look for the helpers, and consider being one yourself. – Christopher Simon

Verona opens Big 8 with sweep ANTHONY IOZZO
What’s next
Assistant sports editor
The Verona Area High School volleyball team was tested Tuesday despite sweeping Janesville Parker 3-0 (25-20, 25-18, 25-18) at home. The Vikings continued to make runs with a strong block, and it forced the Wildcats to adjust its offensive attack. Sophomore setter Jordan Armstrong had eight assists, and she and junior setter Emma Frahm continued to have to change their placement. “It forced our setters to move the ball around and filled our hitters with confidence,” coach Kelly Annen said. Senior right-side hitter Priya Shenoi had four of her nine kills in the first set, but she was also a part of several points throughout the match, forcing errors with strong hits over the net for Verona (6-4 overall, 1-0 Big Eight). “Priya had a great game,” Annen said. “That really helps us establish an offensive threat by having all three hitters at the front row be able to put the ball away and to come up with different options if something is not working.” Shenoi also had a couple of blocks, but it was sophomore middle blocker Maddy Kelley that stole the show in the middle. Kelley finished with six blocks. Sophomore libero Amelia Hust helped with serves and serves received, finishing with 16 digs and

two aces. “We see the impact of when we are able to serve aggressively and hold the ball,” Annen said. “That is a direct correlation to our success on the court, same with our passing and serves received.” Verona only trailed once in the match, falling behind 4-0 at the start of the third set, but the Wildcats rallied to eventually take a 17-14 lead and force a Parker timeout. The biggest lead of the night came in the first set, when Verona was up 23-12. Janesville Parker scored seven straight points to cut the deficit to 23-19, but the Wildcats were able to close out the set. The sweep did allow Verona to play a fourth exhibition set and get more players playing time on the court, which is something Annen said is very important. “You can see that the level of our practices are intense based on the level of athleticism out there,” Photo by Anthony Iozzo Annen said. “No spot is guaranteed, Senior captain and defensive specialist Katie Karnosky receives a serve and everybody is pushing each other in the second set Tuesday against Janesville Parker at Verona Area High throughout the season.” School. The Wildcats won 3-0 (25-20, 25-18, 25-18).
Seniors Lauren and Courtney Shorter have been with the Verona Area High School girls golf program since they were freshmen, and they have been two of the more consistent golfers this season. But with the postseason quickly approaching, Coach Jon Rebholz said that leadership will be even more important than getting lower scores. “It is going to become more important once we get closer to the playoffs, not just scoring-wise but leadership-wise – how they can take the team under their wings and elevate things once we hit the playoffs,” he said. Senior Claire Swain and sophomore Caitlyn Ott are slated to be the No. 3 and No. 4 golfers for the rest of the season, and senior Alexis Gaillard has an edge for the No. 5 spot. But the Big Eight Conference meet is Tuesday, Sept. 19, so there will be a few

Passing game erupts as Verona remains undefeated ANTHONY IOZZO
Big Eight
Assistant sports editor
A strong rushing attack has been a key to the Verona Area High School football team’s success ever since coach Dave Richardson took over as head coach in 2000. B u t T h u r s d a y ’s 3 5 - 6 win over Madison Memorial at Mansfield Stadium was all about the passing attack, as senior quarterback Aaron Young threw three touchdown passes and senior split end Carson Bull caught two touchd ow n s a n d t o p p e d 1 0 0 receiving yards. Verona has outscored its first three opponents 86-14, and Bull said mixing up the offense opens up the game to allow for big plays and has helped the Wildcats (3-0) remain undefeated. “Whether it is the run or pass option or the pass, it opens up the field so much,” Bull said. “It allows us to do so many different types of things and have so many different types of formations.” Senior running back Joe Riley also rushed for over 100 yards and two touchdowns. And the defense once again dominated, holding the Spartans (0-3) to one touchdown in the fourth quarter. But it was the passing

As a captain for the Verona girls cross country team, Julia Pletta was tasked with coming up with all the team’s summer runs. That led the senior to enter this season in better shape, and she has dropped more than a minute from her time in her first two races. Saturday that was a 28th-place finish in 20 minutes, 51 seconds as the Wildcats’ top finisher at the Verona Invitational. “I really pushed it, even the week I went backpacking in Belgium,” she said. “Those workouts were hard, and I think it’s showing now. I’m really excited for this season.” The Wildcats finished near the middle of the pack, taking ninth of the 19 teams competing with a team score of 266. Sophomore Jamie Hogan finished 20 seconds after Pletta as the team’s second runner, crossing the finish line 38th in 21:11. Junior Lucy Waschbusch and sophomores Lucinda Bakken and Abby Wampfler rounded out the varsity scorers for Verona, separated by 13 seconds. Waschbusch placed 64th in 21:58 with Bakken reaching the finish line 66th in 22:00 and Wampfler taking 70th in 22:11. Junior Caroline Bobb and senior Kelsey Beermann also competed on varsity but did not count toward the final team score. “I think the girls were happy with the times

Stoughton was absent from the meet after a traffic accident involving five members of the team Friday evening resulted in one player being taken to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries. “Our thoughts and prayers go out to them,” a clearly emotional Verona coach Dave Nelson said. “Cross country is a very close-knit family. There is no defense in cross country, so you can never stop someone from doing their best. We’re really pulling for them and the whole Stoughton community. My kid is a senior. She goes to these team dinners. It could be any one of us. Your heart literally breaks. All of this is meaningless compared to that.”

The Verona boys cross country team finished in the upper half Saturday in front of the home crown at the annual Verona Invitational. The ninth-place finish (team score of 226) wasn’t quite what coach Randy Marks was looking for, however. Senior Peter Barger was the team’s top finisher, placing 17th out of 138 runners with a time of 16 minutes, 53 seconds. “All I really wanted to do was break 17 minutes and stay as close as possible to someone from Madison West,” Barger said. “I usually have a problem keeping myself motivated, so I try to someone I know I can stick with. I always remember Jack Reed and me being pretty close throughout high school.” Reed finished 15th in 16:49. Junior Jason Ford covered the 5k course in 17:24 for 33rd place. Four seconds separated the Wildcats’ final three varsity scorers as senior Hari Jayaraaman (18:00), sophomore Nathan Neitzel (18:03) and junior J.J. Guminey (18:04) finished 57th, 59th and 60th, respectively. Sophomore Brad Tuomi and Alan Zheng both competed on varsity but did not score. Middleton’s Caleb Easton

Girls XC: Verona finishes ninth out of 19 teams they ran, compared to the goal time they set,” coach Dave Nelson said. “Now it’s a matter of bumping our goals up. It’s the second race, but that will be our goal throughout the month of September … Let’s ask a little more of ourselves. And I think we’ll surprise ourselves with how well we can run.” Defending WIAA Division 1 state champion Sun Prairie placed its top five in within the first nine spots Saturday and all seven of its varsity scorers in the top 21 to win the meet with a gaudy
score of 26. Senior Katie Rose Blachowicz won the individual title in 18:31. Wisconsin Dells finished a distant second – 70 points behind – with a 96. Big Eight rival Middleton (103) rounded out the top three schools. “They are a very talented team because they know how to run together as a pack, and they know how far they can push themselves,” Pletta said of Sun Prairie. She hopes to encourage her team to do the same. “We’re such a young team – all these girls know they can run fast, I don’t think they know how much faster they can run,” she said.
“My goal is try and build their confidence and to get their mentality to where they know we can do it, so we can run together as a pack like Sun Prairie, Middleton, Madison West and Memorial. This is a team that can do that.” After battling hip problems last year, Pletta said she was nervous coming into this season after posting slower times her sophomore and junior years. “As the body develops, naturally, you see runners get slower,” she said. “This year, I decided that wasn’t going to be me. Coach Nelson has been doing more with cross training and

The Verona Area High School boys soccer team traveled to nonconference Kettle Moraine Thursday and fell 2-1. The Lasers (3-0-1) snapped the Wildcats’ four-game winning streak. Sophomore midfielder Jack Knight tied the game at 1-1 in the 60th minute. Senior midfielder Jose Adrian Lazaro-Padilla assisted on the goal. Senior Camden Eaton knocked in the game-winner, however, with an unassisted goal in the 76th minute. Eaton also gave the Lasers a 1-0 lead in the first half. Sophomore goalie George Ohm finished with six saves for the Wildcats.
running, and I think that had really helped our whole team.” Pletta, who has just missed out on the WIAA Division 1 state meet the past couple seasons, feels this team is capable of more than just sending an individual state qualifier onto Wisconsin Rapids. “Being the captain this year, I still want to go to state, but I think going as a team would be really awesome,” she said. “We have a lot of really talented individuals. We’re a young team and everyone is running amazing times, but they can run even better – they don’t even know it yet.”

Golf: Middleton invite on Sat. Continued from page 9 more meets for the girls to earn roster spots. Gaillard had been on vacation for much of the season, and junior Celia Donny had been starting on varsity. Gaillard is now back and will be starting on varsity this week. “Hopefully, we will be able to hit the ground running once we get (Gaillard) back in the lineup,” Rebholz said. While the five varsity spots are still not set, Rebholz said he teaches the girls that the spot doesn’t matter as long as you put forth the best effort while playing. Still, with conference at Evansville Golf Course, the Wildcats will be looking to get closer to Middleton, which has shot in the 350s for much of the season. “Anything can happen down at Evansville for a conference tournament,” Rebholz said. “That is a little bit more of a difficult course. There are certain holes out there that some of the girls aren’t used to or used to have a strategy for. “It is going to depend on

The Verona Area/Mount Horeb girls swimming team found itself in a very close Big Eight Conference dual meet Thursday at Madison Memorial, winning the meet 90.579.5. “Both teams swam very well. There were a lot of fast times for a meet this early in the season,” coach Bill Wuerger said. Sophie Henshue and Gabby Gnewuch went 1-2 in the 200- and 500-yard freestyles for the Wildcats. Still, looking back, Wuerger said the 100 free was probably the most pivotal race. “It was very close and we were fortunate to go 1-3-4,” he said. Sara Stewart won the 100 free in 54.43

Football: Verona moves to 3-0 in the Big Eight Conference Continued from page 9 first-down play that put the ball on the Spartans’ 1-yard line with four minutes left until halftime. After a false start, Young found senior split end Jaden King in the corner of the end zone for a 6-yard touchdown pass. King finished with six catches for
71 yards. “Last week, we didn’t really give (the receivers) a chance,” Young said. “I gave them a chance tonight, and they made good plays.” Senior defensive back Tucker Teskey then picked off a pass from Memorial sophomore quarterback Jason Ceniti, and Riley finished the ensuing drive
with a 10-yard touchdown run. Teskey added his second interception in the third quarter, and Riley took over the next drive. He had a 44-yard run to bring the ball to the Spartans 1-yard line, and after a false start, Riley rushed six yards for the score, making it 35-0. Riley finished with 117 yards on 17 carries.
The game went to a running clock for the rest of the game, and Verona put in its second- and thirdstring players. Memorial finally scored with a 6-yard touchdown run by junior running back Jeremiah Jordan with 7:50 left in the game, but that was the end of the offense for both teams.

His words were poetic and compelling.” In her research, Porter said, apathy was her biggest adversary. Museums and historical
societies she’d contact to learn about Huezé or about the conditions he lived through would take their time in responding, making her wait extended periods of time for information, or neglecting to get back to her at all. The investment just wasn’t there for the people she was reaching out to for research, Porter said. They didn’t have any connections to Huezé and had no skin in the game, unlike Porter, whose head and heart, united by determination and emotion, were in a battle to tell the story. “It felt like like he was erased from history,” Porter said. “After reading these beautiful words of
love and extraordinary testimony of life in a labor camp, I refused to let him be lost to history. I was obsessed with finding answers.” Throughout the whole process, in over a decade of designing a font and years of researching a book, Porter says her husband has shown extraordinary patience, as she’s dedicated time to another man’s love letters. “He’s typically not a patient person, but he was patient for this process,” Porter said. “He saw that I wasn’t going to let it go until I found an answer, which is incredible patience on his part because of my obsession over Verona native Carolyn Porter wrote another man’s love letters.” “Marcel’s Letters.”

Fitch-Rona EMS has focused on what is called “community paramedicine” in the past two years. Community paramed icine is the opposite approach that EMS traditionally take, where they are a reactionary solution t o a n ex i s t i n g m e d i c a l problem, and tries to prevent the health issue to begin with. “What EMS’s have been looking at across the country – and Fitch-Rona has done part of this in the past couple of years – that is working with our citizens who are in need and maybe falling between cracks,” he said. “We might be able to reduce the overall burden on EMS.” Another potential trend over the next several years could be increased regionalization. Myrland said it’s important to make sure that everyone has the same resources to healthcare, no matter where they live, and many rural communities are underserved. “Regional EMS has to be where we are looking,” Myrland said. “There are great pressures on outlying areas who don’t have fulltime EMS. “The skills we have in F i t c h - R o n a h ave t o b e applied to citizens outside these large metropolitan areas … realistically, the services you get in Brooklyn should be the same treatment that somebody on the west side of Madison has.”

only the City of Madison. That means it serves a high volume of people – more than 3,000 calls for assistance each year. In addition to the increase in technology and paramedic staff on each ambulance truck, Fitch-Rona has also had to adapt to changing patterns of care. One example he cited is how paramedics more frequently administer doses of naloxone, more commonly known as narcan, to combat narcotic and opioid overdoses. Another is the year-old pilot community paramedic program, which assists citizens in areas that are underserved and takes pre-emptive measures to keep people out of ambulances in the first place. Myrland said Fitch-Rona is always looking for new ways to do that. “Society has to continue to evolve our EMS to handle these areas that are being underserved,” he said.
Fitch-Rona EMS has also seen an uptick in the amount of narcan paramedics have used to reverse the effects of a narcotic or opioid overdose, Myrland said – sometimes multiple overdoses in a one-week period. “What we used think was inner-city stuff is now in every nook and cranny of every city and every town and every village,” Myrland said. It’s been helpful, though, that police and firefighters are carrying narcan and can administer it without waiting for an ambulance. “They are usually the first ones on scene, and if someone is in a narcotic overdose situation, they’re not breathing and they need File photo by Samantha Christian narcan right now,” he said.

though, had him spending 12 to 18 hours a week alone while running or biking. “I’ve actually learned I think I like that kind of stuff better,” he said. Overall, he said the training has been “pretty manageable,” with the toughest weeks coming in July, when “the weekends are consumed by riding your bike 120 miles in one day and running 18 or something the next day.” “If anyone’s thinking about doing it … I’m not trying to say it’s easy, but it’s not as daunting as I thought it was originally,” he said. “It’s more management if you just make time for it.”
Coming home The route features plenty of meaningful locations for Borgerding, Verona among them. That includes the running portion downtown and the approach to the Capitol building. As a UW-Madison graduate and employee at the Capitol, he said he’s excited to accomplish the feat of
becoming an Ironman where he has spent so much time. He watched the finish last year for the first time, he said, and it was “cool” to see a friend come through the finish line. But before any of that, he’ll get to experience the excitement of a hometown crowd that will include a large group of family and friends. He hopes to look to them like the bikers did to him as a kid when they would “fly by” at the corner of Whalen Road. “By no means am I gonna even come close to being the leader, but I remember thinking wow, these people are nuts,” he said. He doesn’t want to spend too much time here on Sunday. “It’ll be over very quickly,” he said of the Verona portion of his race. “I mean, hopefully,” he added.

Verona Area High School Class of 2009 graduate Chris Borgerding completed the Pewaukee Triathlon earlier this year as part of his training for the Ironman Wisconsin race, which will come through Verona Sunday, Sept. 10.
Ironman in brief Traffic restrictions The City of Verona is asking drivers to be aware of the Ironman route Sunday as bikers pass through the city. The route is the same as it has been for years. Streets affected by the race are Whalen Road, South Main Street, Locust Drive, Bruce Street, Paoli Street, Nine Mound Road, Cross Country Road, North Main Street, East Verona Avenue and Old Hwy. PB. Bikers will enter and leave the city at the intersection of PB and Whalen. The U.S. Hwy. 18-151 ramps at Paoli Street will be closed during the race, and the city recommends accessing the highway from West Verona Avenue at Epic Lane. The first cyclist usually enters the city around 7:15 a.m., with the final cyclist leaving around 5:30 p.m. Verona police will have officers stationed at some intersections during the race to aid with traffic flow.
