Press Correspondent
In brown overalls, work

boots and gloves, Bill Keen
carefully steps over a patch
of purple loosestrife plants
into the bank of the Sugar
River. He carries a shovel
and a wilting, weak plant.

invasive species, remarks
on the nearly comical
absurdity of the situation.
Not every gardener puts
in the effort to replant a
nearly dead plant, Karl
jokes as he follows Keen
off the path and into the
tangle of plants.
But Keen is not your typical gardener.

For more than two
months, Verona resident
and USRWA volunteer
Keen has been working like
a dog to nurture Galerucella
beetles on purple loosestrife
plants in his backyard.
On July 29, the plants
and beetles were released
by Lake Belle View, near
Belleville, in an effort to
control the spread of the
invasive purple loosestrife
and help return the Sugar
River Watershed back to its
original state.
Even though the plants
were nearly chewed to
death by the beetles, it was
important to relocate them

Election total: $42k raised, $35k spent

Jim Ferolie
Verona Press editor
The last two weeks of Veronas

most recent local election included a
flurry of spending on literature drops
and advertisements.
According to paperwork from the
July 21 filing deadline, Mayor Jon
Hochkammer outspent the other three
candidates combined in the most
recent period (March 17-June 30),
with $14,415, including $1,200 on
a victory party, a campaign meetand-greet event and food. By far, the
majority of the spending was on literature, about $8,000 in all. He had spent
barely more than $3,000 between Jan.
1 and March 17.
Hochkammer, who held off upstart

challenger Chad Kemp 1,470-1,180 in
the April 1 election, also added $3,806
to his campaign after the last reporting
period, giving him a total of $21,140
raised, though that includes a $4,000
loan from his own pocket that might
very well be repaid. He ended the June
reporting period with more than $7,600
remaining in his campaign fund.
Overall, the four candidates (two for
District 4 alder, two for mayor) ended
up raising more than $42,000 for their
campaigns and spending more than
$35,000 and that doesnt include the
fliers that were sent out in favor of some
of the candidates by regional interests.
It blew away last years surprisingly

Beetles to the rescue as USRWA fights invasive species

Drivers in the Town of Verona can expect some

tighter traffic enforcement from Dane County Sheriffs
Office (DCSO) deputies than in past years.
The town recently entered into a contract with the
DCSO to receive eight dedicated hours of patrol each
week.
We havent had a very good way of enforcing some
of our codes, because we have just us here in the office,
town administrator/planner Amanda Arnold said. So
sometimes all we can do is shake a finger at people.
With increased patrol comes increased citations, and
the town needed a place to send those who receive them.
As of the beginning of July, they have been sent to
the Town of Madison municipal court, which the town
entered an agreement with earlier this year. The Town
of Middleton has a similar arrangement with sheriffs
deputies and the Town of Madison court.
Theoretically they might have been able to just
to complain about an end to the innocence of the low-budget knocking on

doors that local campaigns had previously been known for. The four challengers last year combined to raise
$9,000, and none of the four incumbents who lost claimed more than
$1,000 in donations and therefore did
not file.
But money and incumbency clearly
werent everything this year, however,
as appointed incumbent Mike Bare lost
handily to Evan Touchett (438-297)
despite outraising him 2-1 and spending more than double on his campaign.
Bare also started early, raising more
than $4,000 before he officially had an

Still no boys volleyball

Gym space, cost both major hurdles,
superintendent says
Scott Girard
As the first practices begin for the fall sports at

Verona Area High School, one sport will once again
not be among them: boys volleyball.
Last fall, Evan Dove, who will begin his freshman
year at Verona Area High School this year, spoke to
the Verona Area school board about creating a boys
volleyball program, something six of the 10 schools in
the Big 8 athletic conference have.
After reviewing the idea, the district decided against
it for several reasons gym space, funding and interest issues. The denial was something the district has
also done in the past, as the idea of a boys program
comes up every four or five years, VASD superintendent Dean Gorrell said.
Our gyms, if we had three times as many of them,
they would all be scheduled all the time, Gorrell said.
Theres just a crush for gym time.
But those factors and the boards initial rejection
didnt stop Jaimie Vareka, a 2010 VAHS graduate and
varsity volleyball athlete who now coaches girls volleyball at Oregon High School, from coming up with a
plan this spring to try to reignite the idea.
I did have a lot of stuff laid out, Vareka said. So it
was more about having the gym space and getting the
support from the school.

Sugar Creek, Stoner Prairie

formalize no snack policies

with a few small exceptions.

Food also may still show
up when it relates to a topic,
such as maple syrup when
studying Wisconsin or applesauce when studying trees.
Other handbook changes
included clarifying that chaperones for Sugar Creek field
trips must be legal guardians
or have prior approval from
the principal, rewording the
code of conduct at Stoner
Prairie and a change at all
neighborhood elementary
schools to update any security policy information as the
district moves toward a new
security system.
That system, called Raptor, will eventually include
ID badges and on-the-spot
background checks for
school visitors, superintendent Dean Gorrell said.
Before its implemented,
however, the school board
will have to pass policies to
deal with likely issues.
We will have instances where we will have
somebody check in and
there is a criminal history,
Gorrell said, also pointing out the possibility of
undocumented parents.
He did not provide a
timeline on when the system might go into effect.

At Sugar Creek Elementary, the changes had actually gone into effect last fall
but werent in the student
handbook yet.
This change has taken
place last year without any
kerfuffle of any kind at
school, Sugar Creek principal Todd Brunner told the
school board Monday.
Stoner Prairie joined Sugar
Creek in putting the changes in its student handbook.
Brunner, who represented
Stoner Prairie and the other
elementary schools for other
handbook changes at the
meeting, said nurses, cooks,
custodians, teachers and
everyone else at the school
was happy with the results of
changing the policy.

VAHS principal Pam
Hammen said the change
comes as part of a general
change in how the school
looks at discipline.
Were really trying to
move toward having relationships with and engaging
students, she said.
Other policy changes
banned e-cigarettes from
school grounds, clarified
the credit requirements for
students based on changed
to state statutes and provided advice for the schools
Responsibility Pass program.
Open enrollment
The district will allow in
at least an extra 25 open
enrollment students above
the previously planned
30 for the 2014-15 school
year. The new spots come
mostly from Country View
elementary, which had open
spots at each level except
fourth-grade, thanks to
lower-than-expected enrollment numbers, including 20
fewer kindergarten students
enrolled than capacity.
The bulk of the new open
enrollment spots, 11, are for
kindergarten, which Gorrell

said has a long wait list. That
includes two at Verona Area
International School and four
at New Century School, both
charter schools.
Other openings include
three first-grade at CV, three
second-grade at CV and one
second-grade at Stoner Prairie, two third-grade at CV
and three third-grade at SP
and two fifth-grade at CV.
We looked at the capacity versus current enrollment, Gorrell said. We
are still very conservative
in terms of the number of
spaces weve opened up.
Borrowing
The board approved a proposal to borrow $25 million
from the state trust funds to
fund the new retirement benefit program approved earlier
this summer. The borrowing comes with a 4.25 percent interest rate, something
Michelle Wiberg from PMA
Financial Network, which
advises the district on such
matters, said was much more
attractive than going to the
marketplace.
Originally, the fund had
a $10 million lending limit, but after Wiberg and
district business manager
Chris Murphy met with
them, the funds board
agreed to bypass that limit.
Kudos to the state trust
fund to kind of hear us
out, Wiberg said.
McCulley to leave board by January
Its your paper, too
School Board member John McCulley, serving in his first

term, is moving to South Carolina with his family sometime
before January. He announced the move Monday night, saying his wife received a job opportunity there beginning Sept.
1. He will remain in Verona with his children while he works
to sell the house, but will for sure leave before Jan. 1.
Its hard to leave because we have a great community and
I love being on the board, McCulley wrote in an email to
the Verona Press. I will definitely miss it.
His at-large seat will be filled by an open election in
spring, as his term was up next year anyway.

Fire, EMS memorabilia sought

for new station history project
As part of the building of a
brand new facility for the City
of Verona Fire Department and
Fitchrona EMS, the current members of both of these organizations
would like to honor those that
have come before us.
We would like the community
to participate in a history project
that is hopefully more rewarding
than the ones we did back in high
school. Part of the new station is
dedicated to the honorable community members that have served
in the past. We are asking anyone
who has any pictures or memorabilia of Veronas firefighting and
EMS past and would like to be
included in this project to please
contact the fire department.

Any pictures will be copied and
returned and any memorabilia
would be dedicated to the past
member of your choice.
We are also exploring ideas
such as a brick remembrance
wall dedicated to those who have
served and passed away and a
book of memories for community
members to contribute any stories
or dedications of their choice.
Anyone who would like to
share a memory or contribute can
contact me at the Verona Fire Station.

your life and understands your
pain.
OK, so that sounds like a copout especially from a guy who
still has a roof on his house. I get
that. However, we all face tragedy in our lives at some point.
As I am writing this, I am
reflecting on the 35th anniversary of my fathers death. My
dad died of brain cancer at the
relatively young age of 48. I was
only 15 at the time and still ask
the why question to this day.
Ive searched the Scriptures for
a satisfactory answer and have
resigned myself to the fact that
God simply doesnt give us a
specific response to every misfortune that we experience.
We do live in a broken world
because of sin and the ultimate
result of that is death. Even those
who seem to escape many of the
heartaches of this life will die.
Death is the ultimate tragedy that
we all have in common.
The good news is that God
understands our suffering in a
very real way and, in His sovereignty, made all things right
through His Son Jesus. God sent
His Son Jesus to suffer and die on
a Cross for the sins of the world
(1 John 2:2). He condemned the
One who was without sin so that
we could experience new life and
ultimately overcome death.
The difficulty for many people
is living in the tension of the
now, not yet. In other words,
if Jesus has already come to save
the world some 2,000 years ago
why do we continue to suffer the
ravages of things like tornadoes
and cancer?
Jesus knew people would wonder about such things after He
returned to His father in heaven.
Jesus told His disciples directly
that there would be wars, famines
and earthquakes in various places
and that these would be warning
signs of the end times (Matthew
24).
I am not one to predict when
the end times will come or try
to calculate how close we are
getting to the last day based on
destructive weather patterns. In
fact, I find that type of analysis

rather bizarre given that Jesus
warns us not to try to predict
such things (Matthew 24:36).
However, I do believe Jesus
is coming back one day and the
era of wars, cancer, tornadoes
and death will come to an end
for those who, by faith, trusted
in Him. The new heaven and
the new earth that the Apostle
John sees in his vision from God
(Revelation 21) will be a place of
beauty beyond anything we can
imagine today.
So the in between time that
we find ourselves in is actually
a testimony to Gods gracious
patience. His desire is for all
people to come to a saving faith
in Christ (1 Timothy 2:4). Jesus
told His disciples as much when
He said to them: And the Good
News about the Kingdom will be
preached throughout the whole
world, so that all nations will
hear it; and then the end will
come. (Matthew 24:14).
As we continue to come
together as a community to support the rebuilding efforts of our
neighbors homes and our school
we can take comfort in the fact
that God cares deeply about all
those affected. He wants to wipe
away every tear (Isaiah 25:8) and
draw people closer to Jesus in the
midst of the tragedy.
Verona is a resilient and closeknit community. The damaged
homes will be rebuilt and Country View Elementary School will
be ready to house eager students
in September. Neighbors will
go out of their way to help those
who need it and local churches
stand ready to bring the comforting Word of God to anyone who
desires it.
I dont know why this happened, but you and I are not
alone. God cares and responds
through the people in our community.

Church in Verona.

Jay Huemmer of Verona takes one of the eight quizzes on the touch screen feature at the Wisconsin
Historical Societys Wisconsin History Tour exhibit at the Verona Public Library Saturday.
History Tour visits Verona

A week packed full of
historical presentations and
family friendly activities will
highlight the Wisconsin History Tour this month at the
Verona Public Library.
The traveling exhibit runs
through Aug. 28, and it features such themes as a Civil
War soldiers letters home,
the history of Verona and
the numerous Native American tribes that first settled in
Wisconsin.
But the real fun is Aug.
19-23, when it will bring 19
different Wisconsin history-themed activities here.
Among them are Family
Fun Day, presentations on
the creation of Wisconsins
Dairyland, cheese tasting,
an interactive presentation
on one-room schools and a
hands-on activity that gives
children a chance to create
head sculptures.
The Wisconsin History
Tour: Sharing Stories One
Community at a Time is a
traveling outreach program
aimed at connecting Wisconsinites to the richness of their
past.
Robyn Kitson, WHS director of marketing and communication, said The tour is
designed to increase awareness and get people engaged
in what the Historical Society has to offer and aid in
broadening their horizons in
what the historical society
can be for them.

Kitson said the history
tour is an opportunity for the
historical society and libraries to build partnerships that
work together in connecting people with information
and services even after the
tour has ended. The preservation of heirlooms, family treasures and genealogy
classes are an integral part
of the outreach program that
is coordinated by the Historical Society. The exhibit
encompasses 12 placards
of exquisitely designed displays, including historical
pictures, stories, letters and
books that thoroughly capture Wisconsins vast history. It features interactive
touch screens that tell interesting stories and one screen
that offers eight thoughtprovoking quizzes.
Some of the events have
been intentionally scheduled for the lunch hour during the week so those that
work during the day can
attend, including a look
at Wisconsin farmscapes
through watercolor, a journey to a northwoods retreat,
creating Dairyland and the
invention of malted milk.
The tour also includes a
beer- and food-tasting event,

Kindess or cruelty?
Ultimately, there are only two basic motives which
animate us, kindness or cruelty. On the side of kindness is everything that unites and uplifts us: the kind
or encouraging word, the helping or healing hand, the
invitation to join the group and to be a part of the great
family of God. On the side of cruelty is everything that
divides and debases: the mean or cutting remark, the
discouraging word, the clenched fist and the hand which
pushes away, the barrier to inclusion which says you
arent welcome here. There is love and there is strife.
Love unites; strife divides. Love is kind; strife is cruel.
There is no third option here. You cannot be indifferent
to the choice between kindness and cruelty. We should
pray that we steadfastly choose to be on the side of
kindness.
- Christopher Simon via Metro News Service
I expect to pass through this world but once. Any
good therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can
show to any fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me
not defer it or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way
again.

Beetles: USRWA will continue fight against invasive plant next year
Continued from page 1
to the watershed in case
any beetle larvae or eggs
were nestled in the leaves,
explained Keen.
Invasive purple
loosestrife
Purple loosestrife
(lythrum salicaria) is a European, deep-rooted, wetland
plant that has invaded much
of Wisconsin and affects the
entire wetland food chain
and ecosystem, something
the USRWA is concerned
about, as a steward of the
Verona-Mount Horeb-Belleville areas watersheds.
The plant has pushed out
native wetland plants that
other species depend on,
explained USRWA executive director Wade Moder in
an email to Verona Press.
Like many invasive plants
in Wisconsin, purple loosestrife doesnt have any natural predators here to keep its
numbers in check.
That is why Keen and
the USRWA chose to raise
Galerucella beetles, the
same beetle that feeds on
purple loosestrife in Europe.
They hope to fight off invasive purple loosestrife with
its own natural predator.
The beetles themselves
wont become invasive,
Moder explained, because
they wont survive after the
plants are gone.
Although this is fighting
an invasive with an invasive,
these beetles have been used
effectively in Wisconsin
since 1994 without posing a
threat to other plants, Moder
said. In short, these beetles
are exclusively dependent
on purple loosestrife for survival and will not harm other
native plants.
The dirty work

Last spring, in order to
raise enough beetles for the
project, USRWA members
first had go out to Lake
Belle View and dig up six
purple loosestrife plants for
the insects to feed on.
The dirty work had to
be done as soon as the ice
thawed.
Once the ice melts, the

against the invasive purple
loosestrife plant.
plant will rapidly expand its

root base and become nearly impossible to remove,
Moder explained.
The group then relocated
the plants to kiddie pools in
Keens backyard.
Starting with 60 beetles
(provided by WDNR), Keen
and Moder placed 10 on
each plant and then carefully
wrapped the plants in netting to keep the beetles contained and protected.
For two months the
beetles reproduced and
munched on the purple
loosestrife.
By the time of the release,

the beetles had supposedly
multiplied by 10 and nearly eaten the loosestrife to
death, said Keen.
This is the first time we
are doing this, so its really
been a learning process for
us, said Moder.
While they did not have
enough beetles to completely eradicate the unknown
number of invasive plants,
Moder and Keen hope the
beetles will damage the
plants to the point where
they cant reproduce.
This project was undertaken with help from a Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Aquatic Invasive Species Control Grant,
said Moder.
Because of the success of
previous biological control
projects, WDNR offers beetles to anyone who is interested in raising their own, he
continued.
Since the WDNR provided the pots, beetles and
tools, the overall project has
been rather inexpensive.
The only thing we had
to purchase was the netting
and string, stated Moder.
We even bought netting
from a craft store and then
stitched it together ourselves to save costs.
beetle release, UW Sea

Grant Institute videotaped
the process. Karl, a Verona
resident and videographer,
led the effort and guided the
interviews.
Miking Keen and Moder,
Karl hoped their story would
help convey the importance

of using native plants as
opposed to invasive plants
in personal water gardens.
The beetle release is just
one part of USRWAs long
and winding road to educate the public and promote
positive environmental
change.
Having just finished a
five-year strategic plan,
made possible by a River
Planning Grant, the group
has formed six new committees with a variety
of environmental goals,
explained Moder.
In addition, the organization continues to hold volunteer cleanup days, environmental movie screenings,
citizen-based stream monitoring and its annual Paddle
& Pig-Out event.
It has added the first ever
Pedal & Paddle event to the
2015 calendar as well.
So far this year we have
devoted over 100 volunteer
hours helping to keep the
Sugar River free of trash
and debris, while keeping
it navigable for paddlers
explained Moder. We also
maintain 25 water quality testing sites around the
watershed.
With a little help from its
friends, USRWA hopes to
continue the fight against
invasive species by repeating the beetle release process next year and adding
four wader wash stations
to prevent the spread of
unwanted species in hightraffic fishing areas.

USRWA, visit usrwa.org/.

Nardi fares well at pokers biggest event

Seth Jovaag
Verona Press correspondent
Tony Nardis dream of playing poker professionally is gaining traction.

On July 12, the Verona native was bounced
from the World Series of Pokers main event,
the games most prestigious tournament,
held each year in Las Vegas.
But his 252nd-place finish out of a mammoth field of 6,652 participants netted him
a $38,634 cash prize.
It was the second-best finish among Wisconsin residents. Only Bradley Lussier of
DeForest, who finished 96th and earned
$61,313, did better, according to a results
page posted on WSOP.com.
Now Nardi, who was featured in June
in the Verona Press, is planning to take his
skills abroad. After selling his home in West
Madison later this month, he expects to move
to Mexico to play online poker.
Im so excited, said Nardi, who turns 29
in August. Its crazy how its all working
out.
The 2004 Verona Area High School graduate played online poker for years before 2011,
when it was declared illegal in the U.S. He
often played 12 hours a day on his home computer under his online handle, D1rtyR1v3r,
and earned up to $60,000 annually.
Since 2011, hes considered moving
abroad to play online again. His earnings at
the WSOP and from selling his home have
made that possible, he said.
At the WSOP, Nardi lasted until the tournaments fifth day, playing over 12 hours a
day against some of the worlds best. Before
he lost an all-in bet on his final hand, he
was sharing a table with two of the eventual
nine finalists - Dan Sindelar and William
Pappaconstantinou - who will compete for
the tournaments $10 million grand prize
when play resumes in November.
Nardi had previously competed in the

Main Event in July.
main event about a half-dozen times but never lasted long enough to earn money. He split
his final winnings with a backer who fronted
most of his $10,000 entry fee.
Nardi said he has a month-to-month lease
set up with a friend in Mexico, but hopes to
earn enough money soon to travel to Europe
and play both online poker and live tournaments.
Finishing in the top 4 percent at the WSOP
was a shot in the arm, he said.
Ive been out of the game, so I felt a little
bit rusty, he said. Its definitely a confidence builder.
The Sugar River Garden Club in Verona recently presented Audrey and Rodger
Stampfli with the annual Civic Beautification Award for their gardens.
The gardens around the Stampflis
home at 208 North Main St. attract immediate attention with red geraniums in large
pots at their entry. Rodger said the pots
are very old, and he takes them into a
cool place each fall so they overwinter
well and are strong in the spring when he
puts them back outside.
A large island bed, now containing lilies in full bloom, graces the side of the
backyard. The patio is surrounded by
flowers as well as well-trimmed shrubs,
which give the area privacy. There is also

a small, vigorous vegetable garden.
The Stampflis have chosen a selection
of shade-loving perennials under their
well-established trees.
These gardens, so well-cared for, seem
to exemplify Veronas logo, Hometown
USA.
The Sugar River Garden Club welcomes new members. The club meets
monthly and members plan garden tours
in the summer and have informational
programs in the winter months.

Co-manager/player David Burgenske argues with the home plate umpire about why he was thrown out of the game in the top of the fourth inning last Sunday in the first
round of the Home Talent Sunday League Western Section playoffs against Oregon at Stampfl Field. Cole Kroncke (24) looks on before he picked up his team and manager
with an RBI double, but it wasnt enough as the Cavaliers were upset 6-2 to end the season.
Stunned
It only took one game to make

a perfect regular season an afterthought for the Verona Home Talent team, and it was Sundays 6-2
loss to Oregon in the first round of
the Western Section playoffs.
The Cavaliers (16-1) came in
as the No. 1 seed, while the Orioles (8-9) needed help to earn the
eighth and final spot after dropping two of its last three games.
But records went out the window in the one-and-done playoff
bracket, and it was the Orioles that
stayed alive in the race to make the

championship round.
I thought our defense was
lacking today, co-manager Nick
Krohn said. We didnt make the
plays we usually do, and we had
some little league mistakes. They
put the bat on the ball and made
us make the plays, and that is what
you have to do at this point in the
season.
The Orioles put the game away
in the top of the eighth with two
runs. First baseman Eric Engler
picked up an RBI single, and he
later scored on an error.
Oregon pitcher Ben Riffle retired
nine straight to end the game,

including striking out the side in
the ninth.
The Cavaliers mustered just five
hits in nine innings, a season-low,
and trailed the entire game after
Oregon grabbed a 3-0 lead in the
top of the first.
Engler knocked in third baseman Ross Galloway after a leadoff walk, and Jeff Spiwak picked
up an RBI single to center with a
blooper over Verona second baseman Klayton Brandt.
Left fielder Blake Watzke finished the scoring in the inning with
an RBI single to center.
The Cavaliers cut the lead to

3-1 in the bottom of the first after
Brandt led off with a single and
scored after shortstop Kyle Moore
overthrew Engler on a double-play
attempt.
Verona threatened in the bottom
of the third with runners on second
and third, but center fielder Sam
Schretenthaler was able to snag a
linedrive from catcher Derek Murphy to end the inning and save the
runs.
Oregon answered in the top of
the fourth with another run, after

Cavaliers: Still alive in

Night League playoffs
catcher Ryan Hoodjer led
off with a double. Abe
Maurice ran for Hoodjer,
and he scored on a passed
ball to make it 4-1.
Then the bottom of the
fourth happened. Player/
co-manager David Burgenske was tossed by
the umpire after arguing
balls and strikes, and after
a delay, Cole Kroncke
picked his manager and his
team up with an RBI double down the left-field line,
scoring Zach Spencer.
Riffle only allowed one
baserunner after the fourth,
a single by Kroncke to lead
off the seventh.
I couldnt tell you in
the last year a game that
we had only five hits,
Krohn said. We knew Riffle was good. In the first
two games, we didnt have
anything off of him in the
first four or five innings.
I thought we had that in
our favor in the first few
innings today. We found
ways the first two times,
but it just didnt happen
today.
Ben Wallace took
the loss for Verona. He

allowed five earned runs
on nine hits. He struck out
13, walked one and hit a
batter.
Riffle allowed one
earned run on five hits in
nine innings. He struck out
nine, walked one and hit a
batter.
The loss ends the Cavaliers Sunday season,
which Krohn said is disappointing. While he added
that the perfect regular
season is great, he said it
means nothing now that
the season is over.
Our goal is to still win
the whole thing, and that is
not going to change from
year to year at all, Krohn
said. Whether we lose in
the first round or lose in
the final game of the Final
Four, our goal is still going
to be to win the whole
thing the next year.

The coaches are Randy Gentile, Dave Herbst and Kevin Van Horne.
Volleyball: Co-op still a possibility, but boys team talks stalled for now
That support did not
come, though, even after a
meeting with VAHS athletic director Mark Kryka,
who Vareka said was really
helpful in meeting with
her.
Gorrell, however, did
not meet with her, something Vareka expressed
disappointment over.
I just wasnt really given
time to explain my proposal, she said. I gave him
a copy of everything I put
together, but I guess he was
just too busy to talk to me.
Gorrell said it was simply that the decision had
already been made earlier
in the year.
Deciding factors
Jill Dove, Evans mother,
said she received an email
from Gorrell in January
letting her know that the
boards building, grounds
and transportation committee had looked at cost, participation in all sports, gym
space and availability and
decided not to start a new
program.
Gorrell once again stated
those issues in a July interview with the Press.
We struggle to fund the
sports we already had, so
then when you talk about
adding another one, its like

where does that funding
come from? he said.
He also cited low interest in the past when Kryka
had done surveys of students about the possibility
of a boys program. Dove
said she had the names of
10 boys in addition to Evan
who would be interested in
the program, though that
number wouldnt support
both a varsity and junior
varsity team.
Vareka said she knew getting the interest up would
have been a challenge but
thought that given the time,

a potential program is likely through a co-op, which

Since the decision had
already been made, they
said there was nothing anyone could do to help support, even though we could

Edgewood was mentioned,

but they dont want to host
it, either, for exactly the
same reasons.
Dove said in the meantime, Evan, who began volleyball in fifth grade, will
be able to practice with the
girls team if they have space
and can go to open gyms in
Middleton to keep playing
against boys.
We are doing what we
can right now just to keep
Evan playing volleyball, and
we will just keep trying,
she said.
Gorrell said the district
would never want to say no
to anything as far as a possible future boys volleyball
team in Verona, but those
same considerations would
be there.
Dove also made it clear
that while she and Evan
were disappointed in the
lack of a program, she
doesnt harbor negative feelings toward the VAHS athletic department.
We just wanted to bring
it to their attention, she
said. I am not trying to
paint a negative picture at
all. It is just what we are trying to do.

New assistant pastor joins Resurrection Lutheran Church
ConnectVerona.com
August 7, 2014
Kathryn Chew
Press Correspondent
Veronas Resurrection
Lutheran Church welcomed
new assistant pastor Steven
Pelischek to the congregation on July 27.
Pelischek, 24, joined the
church as part of a pastoral
training program in which
he will learn to do everything a pastor does.
They preach sermons,
teach bible class and visit
people, explained Pastor
Nathan Strutz. But it is all
done under the direction of
a more experienced person.
Each year as part of the
program, Resurrection
Lutheran says goodbye to
one assistant pastor and hello to another one.
Pelischek replaced Jacob
Haag, who will return
to school at Wisconsin
Lutheran Seminary for a
final year of study.
Pelischek grew up in Fort
Atkinson and attended Martin Luther College in New
Ulm, Minn. He now attends
Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary and, like Haag, will
return to school after a year
of practice in Veronas congregation.
Aside from his religious
passions, Pelischek has
many other interests.
Im a
tried and
true Wisc o n s i n
sports fan,
he said.
I like the
Badgers,
Pelischek
Brewers and
the Packers.
I also enjoy
playing basketball and
baseball.
Music is another one of
Pelischeks passions. Not
only does he play the piano,
but he also enjoys discovering and compiling new
music.
His diverse music taste
includes a wide variety of
sounds, from indie-alternative to classic oldies.

When discussing this
upcoming year in Verona,
Pelischek said, In a general sense I am just looking forward to growing and
maturing. I hope to mature
in my faith and gain a
whole bunch of confidence
to use the gift actively, to
serve others and to serve
God.
It is also an awesome
opportunity to serve the
people and the whole
neighborhood, whoever I
might meet. God willing I
will be a blessing for them,
but probably more so they
will be a blessing for me.
Police: Town assessing its

ordinances
issue tickets under the Dane
County regulations but it
makes sense for it to be a
town court that people go
to, Arnold said.
The three deputies that
will split the eight hours are
Rick Larson, Paul Thompson and Jay ONeil, who
also brings a K9 unit with
him. Two of the three had
previously worked in the
Town of Verona area on
their sheriffs patrols, Dane
County Lt. Tim Schuetz
said.
We certainly base the
selection of those deputies
off of the Town Boards
desires as far as what was
important to them, said
Schuetz, who worked with
the town to assign the three
officers.
Both Schuetz and Arnold
said the current focus in the
town is traffic enforcement,
something Arnold said the
Town Board has realized is
a growing need as the cities
around them grow at a quick
pace.
When Fitchburg and
Verona and Madison grow,
we get traffic in the town
because of that, she said.
The board has long said
that we needed enforcement
and that things are changing
for us as a town.
With just eight hours each
week, usually split between
one morning and one afternoon each week, many may
not notice a change in the
patrol, even if they get a
citation.
The average citizen
probably doesnt see any
difference, Arnold said. If
they get a ticket, they may
not notice what court or that
the guy is on town duty.
What matters to us is
that we have a little more
dedicated time where we can

say, for example, if theres a
particularly bad road we
can ask for special attention
and get it.
Schuetz said those who
receive citations, though,
might also be glad for the
dedicated service, as tickets
from the deputies working
for the town will be nearly
half the price they would
be if it were on Sheriffs
Department time.
At a cost of $30,000,
some of which will be covered by citation fines, the
decision wasnt a cost-neutral one, said Town Chair
Dave Combs.
It wasnt that were making money on this deal
but it is actually providing some extra service that
our town residents felt they
needed, Combs said.
The enforcement, and
possibly even the number of
hours dedicated to the town,
might expand in the future,
as well, as the town undertakes an effort to rewrite its
ordinances into a more formal code, Arnold said.
It used to be that things
could be casual, she said.
We just need, not necessarily that we want to be angry
or tough, but we need standardized rules.
That process will play
out month by month over
the next year, as the Town
Board visits one chapter of
code at a time until all 14
have been approved.
Combs said that while that
wasnt a primary reason
for entering into the sheriffs
agreement, it might serve as
an advantage once the process has played out.
If there (were) violations
in other ordinances that we
have in the town we really
didnt have a mechanism to
actually enforce them, he
said. We will now.

Town of Verona
Commission
tables stables
Property visits
planned for Aug. 6
Scott Girard
The Town of Verona

Plan Commission put off
its decision last Thursday
on a pair of new conditional use permits for landowners in violation of their current permits.
The properties, across
the street from each other
on White Crossing Road,
are owned by Bill Krell and
Mandy Thomas, respectively. Each is in violation
of the current limit on the
number of horses allowed
on their property.
The issue came about
after complaints about
parking on White Crossing Road from Town Board
Sup. Manfred Enburg, a
Plan Commission member,
as well as complaints about
dust and other issues on
Thomas property by Sup.
Gregg Miller, who is her
neighbor.
At the commissions July
31 meeting, Thomas and
Krell explained to commissioners why they should
be allowed to have more
horses than they currently
are. Krell asked for 25
permanent horses, with an
additional 10 allowed during business hours for special events, while Thomas
requested 25 permanent
horses on her property with
an unlimited number during business hours.
Both Krell and Thomas
said without the ability to
go over a 25-horse limit,
they would be susceptible
to accidental violations of
their permits when they
hold a special event or if
a student brings a horse to
ride. Thomas, specifically,
keeps additional horses on
neighboring land that she
leases and has the horses
come over during the day.
We have plenty of room
to house 25 horses, Krell
said. I was told by Dane
County Zoning if we had
a 26th horse out there as a

guest, visitor, we could get
a ticket.
During your business
hours if you have any kind
of a 4-H event or a training
then were out of compliance, Thomas echoed
later.
Commissioners, however, were skeptical based
on past issues they said
they had seen, specifically in regard to Thomas
property and people parking on White Crossing
Road where they are not
supposed to. Enburg cited
some difficulties handling all the recreational
demands in the area with
the two stables plus the
Military Ridge State Trail.
Im more concerned
with parking, amount of
traffic youre bringing in
from the standpoint of
whats being placed in this
area its a lot more demand
than necessarily a small
hobby farm, Enburg told
Thomas.
Thomas said that she
tells everyone who comes
to her not to park on the
street, and offers some
parking on her property.
Sometimes my clients
can be ding-dongs too,
Thomas said. We tell
them not to park on the
street. We can only try and
micromanage everything so
much.
While she acknowledged other complaints
shes received, she pointed
to the work shes done to
improve those parts of her
property. Miller said he has
appreciated the work she
has done, though one major
issue with dust is left to be
completed. Thomas said
she is working on that.
The commission decided
to schedule a site visit for
Aug. 6 to assess the properties and make a more
informed decision on the
permits.
It might schedule a special meeting later in August
to take action on the permits, which would then
be forwarded to the Town
Board and Dane County.

Finance: 2014 spending surpasses 2013 election

Hochkammer spent $106 on one and
Kemp and Bare each got what the Dane
County Democrats valued at $5 worth of
mention on one of its robocalls.
Partisan and regional interests got
involved in this election more than any
in recent history.
Last years elections, marred by accusations of partisan politics in a nonpartisan race, did feature donations from
teacher union groups to each of the challengers and connections with county politicians, but little else of substance.
This year, in addition to a Madison
Area Builders Association-related ad
favoring Hochkammer and Touchett
(which did not trigger the express advocacy rules that would show what was
spent), Kemp and Bare both got support from the Dane County Dems ($760
and $133, respectively), Hochkammer
accepted $800 in conduit donations

opponent, with most of that even before
last November.
Hochkammer, who plotted out a run
for county executive four years ago
before dropping out because of a severe
ankle injury, took the high-end route
with his campaign. He spent $3,000 on
a campaign consultant and $1,500 on
graphic design, and he was the only one
to put in an ad with Capital Newspapers, spending $1,860.
Hochkammer also was the only one of
the four candidates who did not purchase
a Facebook ad. Kemp spent $78 on the
social media site, which placed targeted
ads into peoples timelines, Bare chipped
in $158 and Touchett had four separate
Facebook payments for a total of $159.
Verona got another new twist this
year, with its first taste of local robocalls.

from the Greater Madison Chamber of

Bare brought up the issue of the citys
legal wrangling with firefighters during
their campaigns. Kemp also took in $100
from County Executive Joe Parisi.
Kemp spent $1,144 on ads in the
Verona Press and $300 in a union publication ad, but like Hochkammer, the
majority of his spending was for mailers, printing, postage and yard signs.
Bare and Touchett managed to split at
least one household, with former aldermanic candidate and current Plan Commission member Patrick Lytle contributing $25 to the campaign of Bare who
had been appointed over him in June
while Lytles wife contributed $25 to
Touchetts.
