land purchase
preparations
Next step for district is approving
referendum wording
Jim Ferolie
Verona Press editor
After getting grilled by the Plan Commission

in early December about a proposal to purchase
land that was supposed to be a commercial center, the Verona Area School District got less
resistance Monday from the Common Council.
But school district representatives Chris Murphy and Dennis Beres still had to sweat a bit.
They got some heavy questioning by Ald.
Mac McGilvray (D-1), who expressed doubts
about the source of funding for traffic improvements that would be needed, as well as the cost
of giving up a prime spot to a tax-exempt entity
along West Verona Avenue. Four other alders
expressed some similar reservations.
Still, there was never any real doubt whether
the city would grant the various changes to the
comprehensive plan, underlying zoning and survey maps on the 108-acre area (and the noncontroversial 18-acre elementary school site that
went with it). Four alders expressed their support
almost immediately, and Mayor Jon Hochkammer had already stated his stance in favor during
the Plan Commission meeting.
Ultimately, even McGilvray joined in the
unanimous approval after just under an hour of
discussion. But he and others did so with a few
caveats.
I will be supportive of this tonight, but its
because I know you and know youve worked
hard on the school board and I trust you, McGilvray told Beres, the district president, whos in
his 13th year on the board.
Alds. Luke Diaz and Elizabeth Doyle brought
up traffic concerns and walkability to the site,
which will be fronted by a commercial strip.
Ald. Evan Touchett repeated a question that had
been raised and discredited at the Plan Commission about losing tax base immediately. And Ald.

Cool codes
Students around the Verona Area School District spent time over the last two weeks learning an increasingly
useful skill: coding. The effort was part of the national Hour of Code week, in which students around the
country of all ages spent part of their school days learning the language of computers. The main task involved
directing Angry Birds characters to move around a map, but some schools also used their own tools. For

Verona Police Department
Military gear, body cameras not likely here

Seth Jovaag
Verona Press correspondent
Protests sparked by police killings of unarmed men in Ferguson,

Mo., and New York City have
cast a spotlight on law enforcement tools and procedures.
Two topics police use of
body-worn cameras and of
military-grade gear and weaponry have drawn media attention

nationwide and in Wisconsin.
But in Verona, police arent
planning to purchase body cameras or use a longstanding federal
program to obtain leftover military gear free of charge, said chief
Bernie Coughlin.
Verona stands out among law
enforcement agencies in Dane

County for not using the so-called
1033 program that, since 2004,
has doled out more than $28 million of surplus Department of
Defense gear to 219 agencies
statewide, according to a report
in August by Gannett Media Wisconsin.
Twenty-four state agencies
including Madison police

used the program to obtain mineresistant armored trucks in the
past year, according to the Wisconsin State Journal. That raised
eyebrows in small cities like
Neenah, whose armored vehicle
was highlighted in a New York
Times article in June.
Other departments have
obtained assault rifles, grenade

launchers or even helicopters, as
in Kenosha County, which got a
unit valued at $916,000, according to a database created by Gannett.
Much of the gear is mundane.

Legler familys 23-year tradition continues at gazebo

4-H club takes over
holiday decorating at
Mount Vernon Park
SAMANTHA CHRISTIAN
Unified Newspaper Group
Each Christmas for the last

23 years, the Legler family
has been decorating the gazebo at Mount Vernon Park in
memory of Bruce Legler.
Since some of the family members are beginning to
move away and the interest
of the next generation isnt as
strong, they approached their
friend, Florence Connors,
leader of the Springdale 4-H
Club. They asked if her group
could continue the tradition
in their stead as a community
service project, and Connors
said they are proud to do so.
I was thrilled that they
called, Connors said. I
always admired the gazebo
from the distance as you drove
by at the holiday season.
Connors said she has a
whole different outlook on
the project now that the family
told her the gazebos history.
She shared this story with
the children of the 4-H club
so they had a better understanding of the project they
are undertaking, stressing the
importance of it being a volunteer effort.
We committed to it, she
said.
and two children, Amy and

Keith, wanted to do something in his memory.
Since Bruce had always
enjoyed going to Mount Vernon Park, especially to arm
wrestle during July tug-of-war
festivities, his mother thought
that spectators could better
view arm wrestling from the
platform of a gazebo.
The next summer, the
gazebo was constructed with
the help of Herb Bircher, his
son and other volunteers.
Engraved in the red wood
beam of the gazebo is Bruce
Legler Memorial.
During the Christmas season of 1992, the gazebo was
decorated by the Legler famHoliday tradition
ily with a deer theme, since
After Bruce passed away Bruce enjoyed deer hunting.

the gazebo, they have created

seven different themes that
they rotate between, including
angels, bells, candy, Disney,
gingerbread and snowflakes
and snowmen.
Inside the gazebo is always
a live, decorated Christmas
tree, since Bruce strongly
disliked artificial trees. The
original trees were planted on
the Legler farm land by his
sister Terri and her husband
Bob Fiez and were cut down
when they were big enough to
hold the center position in the
gazebo.
In 2005, following the death
of Patricia, family members
each made a Christmas ornament with a personal message
on the back.
An angel weather vane was
also attached to the roof peak
in memory of her that year.
Protect your world

Auto Home Life Retirement
Each Christmas season since

then, several spotlights illuminate the angel on the roof of
the gazebo.
When the Legler family had
been in charge of decorating,
they received donations from
Vita Plus Corp. and Miller &
Sons Supermarket, including
the roping around the railings.
The gazebo had generally been decorated from the
weekend after Thanksgiving
until around New Years. It
has been enjoyed by many
since its construction, not only
for Christmas, but also for
weddings, family gatherings
and many festivals.
New organizers
On Dec. 6, a few of Bruces
siblings passed the lights, if
you will, and helped ensure
the transition was successful to
the new group of volunteers:
the Springdale 4-H Club.
The family provided the
lights, decorations and steel
fence posts needed to anchor
the spotlights.
All (the) club needed to
supply was the members, ladders, hand maul and some
adult leaders willing to
spend a few hours of their

time on a very fun project,
Connors said. It was easy to
walk into this.
Bruces sister, Joan Hoppenjan, had previously been
storing the decorations in her
shed and has helped every
year, but she will be moving
away soon. The other siblings
include Brian Legler, Terri
Fiez, Beth Campbell and Greg
Legler.
We all live 10 miles from
each other, but were dispersing, Hoppenjan said.
The family will still decorate the gazebo with U.S. flag
buntings for the Fourth of
July holiday, which was an
important part of Bruces life
as well. Hoppenjan said the
family will continue to offer
advice if asked, but has confidence the project is in good
hands.
It looks really good just
as good as when we were
doing it, Hoppenjan said.
In fact, Bruces twin, Brian,
told Connors the group was
right on with the blue lights
on the Christmas tree.
(It was) unknown to the
4-H club, when the tree was
decorated with blue Christmas

lights this season, that Bruce
had the most beautiful blue
eyes, Connors said. They
chose to do the bell theme this
year.
The Christmas tree was
donated by the Ottman Family
Christmas Tree Farm in Belleville.
Connors had called the
owner to ask if there were
any trees they were having a
hard time selling that the club
could purchase.
They generously donated
a wide, stubby tree, Connors
said, since not many homes
have the space for a tree that
large anyway.
The electric bill is covered
by the Mount Vernon Park
Association.
The display will stay up
until around New Years Day,
and the 4-H club is looking
forward to decorating it for
the foreseeable future.
Everything fell into place,
Connors said. (The display)
is simple, but its just nice.

Non-union employees get raise Nest no more
Verona Area School District
2.5 percent same as union employees

received earlier this year
Scott Girard
Non-union staff around

the Verona Area School
District will receive the
same wage increase as
their union peers for the
2014-15 school year.
The school board
approved the 2.5 percent
increase Monday night for
non-union support staff
and administrative staff.
The boards personnel
committee had recommended approval of the
increase, and it passed
unanimously.
Were a little bit late
on that, quipped VASD
human resources director
Jason Olson.
The increase comes as

the district continues its
discussions with a new
teacher compensation
committee comprising
teachers and administrators.
Olson reported the committee is holding monthly
meetings, which began in
November, to look at alternative ways to compensate
staff in whats becoming a
competitive environment
among districts. He said
the committees priorities
are to find a model sustainable for the long term,
support teachers growth
and ensure a plan offers a
clear plan staff can follow
to earn more.
So they can know what
they can and cannot expect

over time and what are the
different pathways available to them, Olson told
the board. We really want
to encourage growth and
development.
The committee includes
first-year teachers and at
least one who has been in
the district more than 30
years, Olson said.
The committee will
likely eventually bring a
proposal to the board for
approval.
Health insurance
update
Board member Ken
Behnke, who chairs the
boards personnel committee, reported the districts
health insurance claims
data is not looking really
good.
He said claims are
exceeding premiums, a
problem that will catch up
to the district soon.
In the very near future
we will find that this is
going to be an issue, he
told the rest of the board.
Itll be a real financial
issue for us.
We have a really good
deal now, he continued,
and were reaping the benefits of the contract that the
administration was able to
negotiate in the past.
The districts health
insurance plan expires in
July 2016.
Earlier this year, it
amended its policy to stop
offering health insurance to
new hires working between
20 and 29 hours per week.
It grandfathered in the 18
employees who work those
hours and used the districts
insurance policy.
VANN to receive $20k from food pantry contest

The Verona Area Needs
Network (VANN) is one of
75 food pantries that will
receive $20,000 through
Wal-Marts 2014 Food
Pantry Holiday Makeover
promotion.
VANN plans to use the
funds for refrigerators in
the pantry store and a childrens play area.
The goal of the contest,
which ran from Dec. 2-12,
was to strengthen communities by helping food
pantries across the country refresh their facilities
to make it easier for them
to help families who may
struggle with hunger. Of the
150 food pantries selected
to participate, the 75 with
the most votes at the end of
the contest won.

VANN was 13th of 75
at 2,217 votes. In comparison, the most votes went
to Chesapeake Cares Food
Pantry in Maryland with
8,731 votes.
According to Marcia
Kasieta, Move the Food
Campaign team leader, the
community rallied together
to spread the word about
the contest.
For example, Park Printing Solutions donated
15,000 one-page fliers about the contest and
VANN volunteers distributed them to local businesses,
area churches and VASD
schools.
The business community, pastors and school
administrators then further spread the word, she

said. Local service organizations, the Chambers of
Commerce in both Fitchburg and Verona, and local
elected officials used their
social networks to generate
additional votes. It was a
real community effort.
Many people voted and
showed support for VANN
in areas outside of Verona
and Fitchburg as well.
Through Facebook comments and new likes to
our page, we were delighted to discover that people
throughout the country
were rooting for us some
with past or current connections to Fitchburg and
Verona and others that
just wanted to support our

cause, she said.
VANN is also raising
funds through its Move
the Food capital campaign
in hopes of remodeling
the former Badger Prairie
Health Care Center administration building. The
new location, just east of
the City of Verona, would
double the size of the pantry store, increase the cold/
dry storage capacity with
walk-in refrigeration and
help expand its services to
the community with more
office space.

Now called the Verona Ice Arena

as youth hockey rebrands
Scott Girard
There were no more

Eagles playing hockey
at the ice rink in Verona
earlier this year, but until
September it remained the
Eagles Nest Ice Arena.
And until late last
month, thats what the
signs said.
Arena executive director
Joel Marshall explained
the name change was part
of the the Verona Youth
Hockey organization
beginning to rebrand itself.
The main reason was
our major user group,
which is the youth hockey association, with them
trying to rebrand and get
more youth involved in
our area, Marshall said.
That was a time to piggyback because theres no
longer any Eagles skating
here.
The group took some
other steps, including lowering prices, to make its
association more accessible and has had success. Marshall said the
entry level of the hockey
program, which serves

kids between 4 and 6 years
old, had only 16 participants last year.
This year, thats up to
50.
(It) could be coincidence, Marshall said of
the name change. I would
say it helped.
Another factor was to
make sure the Verona
community outside of the
hockey program understood the rink had public
uses.
(People felt) like it was
more of a private club or
facility, Marshall said.
(The change was) a reach
out to our public showing
them that we are public.
So far, Marshall said
feedback has been mostly, Oh, yeah that makes
sense.
A new sign went up at
the end of November, displaying the new Verona
Ice Arena title to passersby
on West Verona Avenue.

Verona Ice Arena, including public skate times, visit veronaice.com.

Letter to the editor
Room tax math needs some double-checking

The Verona Area Chamber of
Commerce is very appreciative of
the Presss coverage of our room tax
efforts, but upon reading (the Dec. 4)
article I felt some of your math needed correcting.
The Press wrote The chamber is
responsible for disbursing 70 percent
of a longstanding 1 percent addition
to regular sales taxes. The Madison
Area Sports Commission gets 70
percent of another 1 percent, and
the city keeps the rest for its general
fund. This is incorrect.
Guests staying at Verona hotels
are charged a 7 percent tax on the
price of a room, meaning a $100
room charge would actually cost a
guest $107. Last year the total room
tax collected in Verona was just shy
of $200,000.
By state statute, the city of Verona is allowed to keep 30 percent of
all room tax revenues in its general
fund. The remaining 70 percent is
divided between the Chamber, the
Greater Madison Convention and
Visitors Bureau, and the Madison Sports Commission. Using the
example of $100 in room tax, the
breakdown would be as follows:
City of Verona - $30
Verona Area Chamber of Commerce - $54
Greater Madison Convention
and Visitors Bureau - $6
Madison Sports Commission $10
The article is correct in that the

Chambers 54 percent of all room
tax revenues during the last reporting period came to $106,772. Math
enthusiasts are more than welcome
to figure out what the other organizations received using the numbers
provided.
The Press made another math
error when calculating future hotel
rooms. There are presently 140
rooms at Veronas two existing
hotels. If the Fairfield Inn adds 91
rooms and the Hyatt another 231,
the resulting 322 rooms more than
triple the number of available rooms,
not double it as noted in the article.
If these new hotels host guests at a
rate similar to our existing hotels, the
effect on room tax revenue will be
quite dramatic.
As the article pointed out, it is the
Chambers position that a proactive
approach toward the potential significant uptick in room tax revenue is
a prudent step. This may involve the
creation of a convention and visitors
bureau or some other type of solution. Only time will tell.
In the interim, keeping in mind the
goal is to promote Verona tourism to
the best of our ability, the Chamber
is always open to ideas regarding the
expenditure of room tax funds.

Land: Changes contingent on successful referendum

Continued from page 1
Heather Reekie fished for a way
to re-evaluate the purchase down
the road, in perhaps 12 years or
so.
The plan got strong support
from Hochkammer and Ald.
Brad Stiner (D-3) who called it
good for the community, citing
the high schools importance to
the city and Beres contention
that a failed (or aborted) referendum would mean looking at
other locations, likely outside the
current city limits. But McGilvray cast doubt on the idea that
any other municipality would do
much to accommodate the district.
I dont believe for a minute
the high school wouldnt be in
the city, he said.
In addition to his concern about
giving up on large-scale commercial development both the
majority of the West End and
the complementary Erbach property to what Beres had called a
target of opportunity, McGilvray wasnt sure the west side of
the city was the right place to go.
He noted that there isnt much
expansion potential to the west or
to the southwest.
To me, the largest growth
potential is to the east, McGilvray said, referencing some
undeveloped areas of the Town
of Verona. It would be shortsighted for the city to commit
itself to changing its plan ... when
there might be potential at other
locations.
Beres, who was quick to point
out that Fitchburg more than a
passing interest in hosting its
own high school, also addressed
a concern that the district doesnt
have a specific, defined plan
for what would go on the site

The council approved plans for

MT Treads, a diner with a full
liquor license that would fill the
spot emptied by Michaels Frozen Custard a year ago.
McGilvray noted how the
drive-through window remained
in the plans and asked if that was
even legal in Wisconsin with
a liquor license. But the liquor
license will go through a separate process, and co-owner Tina
Bastian said liquor is not a dealbreaker because the business
will focus mainly on food.

the appointment of former alder

Mike Goetz to serve on both
the Plan Commission and Parks
Commission.
Goetz, a former police officer
and Army National Guard veteran who has lived in Verona for
14 years, will chair Parks, a designation that automatically goes
with a seat on Plan. The opening
was not announced publicly.
He succeeds Janie Ritter, who
decided to resign two months
ago because of increasing travel
burdens at her job with the Wisconsin Safety Council combined
with family obligations.

though a high school is clearly

an option.
Its not really vague, its a
future planning use, he said.
Its like money in the bank.
You dont necessarily know what
youre going to use that retirement money for, but you know
its for retirement.
He and various city and district staff also noted that all of the
changes are contingent on a successful referendum, which would
have enough time for a November do-over if April fails.
Beres had opened the discussion with an explanation of the
context of the districts decision
to pursue the large land purchase.
All of us have looked deeply
into alternatives, he said. That
parcel was not necessarily targeted by us but certainly fits all of
our needs and the recommendations of our consultants.
He pointed out the very favorable timing that allows the district to keep the mill rate flat
because of a debt dropoff, as well
as to get ahead of the development area, unlike most expansions in years past.
Ultimately, if we do nothing
... we will be forced to deal with
it, he said.
Superintendent Dean Gorrell,
who appeared to be blindsided
by the inquisition he had gotten at the Dec. 1 Plan Commission meeting, wasnt available
to attend Monday but produced a
five-page document with 10 more
pages of appendices answering
questions raised by the commission.
The school board has until Jan.
19 to set a referendum for the
April 7 election.

Do We Discover or Invent Ourselves?

There is a sense in which we find ourselves in the world
with a very definite nature, a nature that is a product of
both our biological inheritance and the society we are
born and raised in.
We can no more throw off our genes or the contributions of our society than a Zebra can throw off its stripes.
But, we are also more than just our genes and our social
upbringing.
We make choices from a young age which determine
the direction and shape of our destiny.
Geneticists now know that certain genes are in fact
turned on or off in response to certain events, and some
of those events are things of our own choosing.
Our wonderful journey through life is both a journey of
self-discovery and a process of self-invention.
Who we are and who we will become are always struggling with and playing off of each other. Strive to know
yourself, but also become the best person you can be.
Christopher Simon via Metro News Service
Your vision will become clear only when you can look
into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who
looks inside, awakes.

The Verona Area High

School boys basketball
team was able to hold off
Janesville Parker Saturday
in a 65-57 win, its first
victory in the Big Eight
Conference.
The Wildcats started
strong and jumped out to
a nine-point lead, but it
was a strong third quarter
that eventually propelled
Verona (2-3 overall, 1-3
Big Eight).
The Wildcats outscored
Parker 18-8 in the third
and held off a late rally by
Parker in the fourth.
Verona had its second
consecutive strong first
quarter, a trend that breaks
the slower starts of the
previous three games.

rivals with bonus points

Bonus points were key for the

Verona Area High School wrestling
team during Fridays 37-36 win
over Middleton, but freshman Jono
Herbsts comeback pin over Don
Bolache at 106 pounds were points
that set the Wildcats up for the win.
With Verona taking a forfeit loss at
113 pounds, Herbsts pin cancelled
out the inevitable loss of points and
allowed sophomore Brandon Daniels
(120) an honorable mention at 120

pounds for the WisconsinWrestlingOnline Division 1 poll and junior
Tyler Udelhoven (126) a chance to
finish Middleton off.
Daniels defeated Trevaun Turner
in a 13-0 major decision, and Udelhoven pinned Shamar Madlock in
5 minutes, 51 seconds to clinch the
win.
Jono did a great job getting the
pin at 106, and the pressure came
down to Tyler, who knew going in
that if he got a pin that it was out of
reach for Middleton, co-head coach
Jason Ott said. He was able to do
that, and it was a great feeling.
The Wildcats also forfeited the
heavyweight match, so two losses by

pin to start the match was not what
Verona was looking for. But senior
Eric Schmid (152) ranked No. 2
at 152 pounds got his team rolling with a 17-second pin over Hassam Said, and senior Jackson Bryant
(160) held off Max Mayhew for a
15-11 win.
Junior Peter Janssen (182) also
had a big 10-5 comeback win against
Caleb Cymbalek, and senior Dakin
Coons (195) ranked No. 14 at 220
pounds defeated Taggert Haase
ranked No. 7 at 182 pounds in D1
3-0.
Junior Trayvonn Johnson (220)
ranked No. 10 at heavyweight
followed with a pin over Matthew

Davey in 41 seconds.
We knew going into the match,
it was about bonus points getting
them and not giving them up, Ott
said. Our guys did a great job of
smelling those extra points out there
for the team.

Gymnastics
New faces need to step up if gymnasts are going to reach state

Jeremy Jones
Sports editor
Verona/Madison Edgewood
gymnastics had a stretch of threestraight WIAA Division 1 state
appearances snapped last season,
but had high hopes entering this
season.
Finishing fifth overall at sectionals last season, the Wildcat/
Crusaders were hoping a few new
faces and the return to health of
the teams top gymnasts would
vault the program back to state
this winter.
Fans of the team, however, may

wonder where state qualifier Lexi
Alt this season. Despite battling a
ankle injury Alt still managed to
qualify for state where she finished 19th overall on the bars. She
decided after last season to not
return, though.
When she was healthy, she was
one of the states top gymnasts,
finishing fifth overall in the allaround competition in Wisconsin Rapids her freshman behind
a runner-up finish on vault and a
third-place finish on beam. Her
departure leaves the team without
a bonafide star.
A state qualifier in a different
sport, freshman Maggie Nunn finished 12th overall in the WIAA
Division 1 state diving competition. The V/ME coaching staff
was hoping Nunn might use those
same skills as a member of the
Wildcat/Crusaders this winter, but
instead the underclassman decided to return to club gymnastics.
So that is an obvious disappointment for the team and our
goal of making it back to state,
co-head coach Rachel Hauser
said. I dont think its beyond
reach, but weve got to revise our

strategy for the season.
Junior Mandy Michuda returns
as the teams top varsity allaround competitor after finishing
10th overall at last years Madison Memorial sectional meet.
Michudas strongest individual
event is probably the uneven bars
where she finished 10th at sectionals.
Senior Sammy Seymour had
Veronas top individual performance at sectionals behind Alt
last season, placing eighth overall on the floor exercise. Seymour
and junior Kirsten Queoff should

both help the team out even more
this season on vault, beam and
floor.
Senior Hannah Semmann finished 10th on floor and 11th overall on the uneven bars at sectionals. She will also compete the
occasional floor routine this season.
Besides last years returning
letterwinners, the Wildcat/Crusaders also have some higher-level additions, who will be looking

Renlund re-enacts some revenge on Oregon

Jeremy Jones
Sports editor
Freshman Sam Renlund scored a

pair of goals and assisted on another
en route to a 4-1 non-conference
victory Thursday inside the Oregon
Sports Arena.
Sam played in this rink. He was
here when it was built. He knows
all the history behind this place,
Verona head coach Joel Marshall
said. He definitely has ties here
and definitely had a little extra jump
in his step tonight.
Renlunds father, Tony, spent
eight years as the Panthers head
coach and was instrumental in Oregon constructing its own rink after
splitting with McFarland.
There was probably a little extra
fuel in the tank for me tonight coming back and playing against many
of my former teammates, Sam
said.
More importantly for Verona,
the win ended a four-game losing
streak, the longest of head coach
Joel Marshalls tenure.
We played against some good
teams over that stretch, and didnt
have our best game tonight, but we
got a notch in the right column,
Marshall said. We definitely struggled the past couple games against
good goalies to find the net. It definitely felt good tonight to bury a
couple and pull away.
Scoreless through the first period,
Renlund struck 59 seconds into the
second period with captain Brodie Roehrig and Gavin McCormick
picking up assists. Four minutes
after the Panthers saw assistant captain Nate Anderson leave the game,
Colin Hughes answered, trickling a
shot off the pipe and past goaltender
Nathan Cleghorn.
The Verona junior was unbeatable the rest of the evening, though,
stopping 18 shots.
Renlund struck off a one-timer
with just over two minutes left
in the second before Jake Keyes
extended the lead to two goals 21
seconds later. Roehrig and Renlund
worked a 2-on-1 to perfection to
cap the scoring with a goal 1:44 into
the third period.
Panthers sophomore Henry Roskos turned away 29 of 33 shots on

Despite winning only five

of 11 events, the Verona/
Mount Horeb boys swimming team was able to win
both sides of Fridays Beloit
Memorial triangular.
Verona rattled off a 12248 victory against the Big
Eight Conference rival Purple
Knights and hung on to hold
off Janesville Parker, which
won six events, 98-72.
Parker is improved this
year, so we had to swim well
to beat them, Wildcats head
coach Bill Wuerger said. We
definitely needed our depth.
Jacob Wellnitz claimed the
200-yard freestyle by two seconds in 1:52.41 and the 100
butterfly by more than threetenths of a second in 59.25.
Jimmy Conway claimed
the 500 free in 5:32.62, while
Veronas final individual win
of the evening came from
Bryce Angaran, who won the
100 backstroke by nearly five
seconds in 56.66.
The Wildcats only relay
win came from the 200 free
relay quartet of Glen Hook,
Cullen Meurer, Will McMillan and Wellnitz, who won by
over five-and-a-half seconds
with a time of 1:38.41.
The Wildcats JV team
defeated Beloit 94-73 and
Janesville Parker 100-66.
Paul Stiller, James Wellnitz, Ryan Stewart and Bryan
Touchett won the 200 medley
relay. Kaleb McMillan, Ethan
Young, Charlie ZachmanBrockmeyer and Wellnitz
capped the meet with a victory in the 400 free.
Grant Wightman took the
50 free. Stewart, Wellnitz,
Stiller, Young and McMillan
added the 200 IM, 100 fly,
100 backstroke, 200 free and

100 free titles, respectively.
Verona hosts Madison La
Follette in a conference dual
at 5:30 p.m. Friday. The Wildcats travel back to Beloit for

Fort Atkinson Invitational

The Wildcats placed fourth
with 223 points Saturday at
the Fort Atkinson Invitational.
McFarland (430) didnt win
an event but were still able
to dominate the meet thanks
to its depth. Fellow Badger
South rival Monona Grove
(334) won three events to finish second.
Verona finished 26 points
behind Sun Prairie (third),
who along with Wauwatosa
East/West (fifth) swam at the
meet for the first time, which
made for more competitive
meet than in years past.
Veronas Jacob Wellnitz
finished a distant second to
Monona Grove freshman
Ben Mcdade in the 500 free
(5:14.62) for the Wildcats top
finish. Meurer added a fourthplace finish in 5:23.43.
Angaran added a sixthplace in the 200 IM with a
time of 2:11.86 and fourth
in the 100 back (58.18). Will
McMillan finished 10th.
Hook (1:06.96) and Hoppe
finished sixth and ninth in the
100 breaststroke, respectively.
Veronas 200-medley
relay team of Bryce Hoppe,

a learning curve, but were trending
in the right direction.
Verona 7, Sun Prairie 0

Jake Taylor and Jake Keyes both
scored two goals Saturday as the
host Wildcats blew out conference
rival Sun Prairie 7-0. Brodie Roehrig, Jack Anderson and Renlund all
chipped in a goal and an assist in
inside Verona Ice Arena.
Verona outshot the Cardinals
36-19, scoring twice in each of the
first two periods and another three
in the third period. The Wildcats
finished 2-for-5 on the power play

and also picked up a pair of shorthanded goals.
Junior goaltender Alex Jones
stopped all 19 shots he faced in the
win. Jake Thornton turned away 29
of 36 for Sun Prairie (1-5-0).
Janesville 5, Verona 3
The Wildcats traveled to the
Janesville Ice Skating Center on
Tuesday looking to improve to .500
in conference.
Bluebirds forward Connor Perkins
had other ideas, though, recording
a hat trick and assisting on another
goal as Janesville survived 5-3.
Verona, which fell to 3-5-0 overall (2-4-0 conference), tied the game
midway through the first period on
an Anderson even-strength goal.
Janesville (5-2-1, 3-2-0) took the
lead for good five minutes later on
a Sam Iverson power-play goal and
never looked back.
Renlund and Keyes both added
even-strength goals, but the Wildcats were unable to draw even.
Cleghorn stopped 21 of 26 shots
on goal in the loss, while Janesvilles Jessie Heisz made 17 saves.
The Metro Lynx got their

toughest challenge of the season Saturday inside the Cornerstone Community Center
in DePere.
Facing the top-ranked Bay
Area Ice Bears, the Middleton
girls hockey co-op was only
able to muster 11 shots on
goal, falling 5-0.
Bay Area is a very good
team, the best we have played
so for this year, Lynx head
coach Derek Ward said. We
played well the first period
keeping it tied after one. They
had the lions share of the
shots but I felt the quality
scoring chances were pretty
close to equal.
A scoreless game through
nearly one-and-a-half quarters, Bay Area (6-0-0) rattled
off three goals in just over two
minutes.
Ward took a timeout to try
to settle the team down and
the girls responded, keeping
the Ice Bears them off the
score board.
Courtney Wittig struck first
6:55 into the second period
before Megan Call added a
power-play goal a minute later
just five seconds after Maegan Sheehan was assessed
a body checking penalty.
Megan Saari finished out the
period with an even-strength

goal 1:14 later.
Laken Anderson added a
pair of specialty team goals
in the third to wrap things
up, scoring short-handed at
5:53 and on the power play at
11:30.
Erin Webb turned aside 36
of 41 shots on goal in the loss,
while Lindsey Stainis stopped
all 11 for Bay Area.
Erin stood strong with
Bay Area crashing the net
the whole game, Ward said.
We will continue to work
at our overall game, so if we
get the chance at state to play
them again it will a different
outcome.
The Metro Lynx head to the
Hudson Sports & Civic Center this weekend where they
will play Minneapolis (3-60) on Friday and Mahtomedi
(2-6-0) Saturday. Middleton
hosts the Culvers Cup inside
Madison Ice Arena on Dec.
27-29.
We all know that playing anyone from Minnesota
comes with its own mystique
but we are just hoping to continue to grow with every day
on the ice, whether it be in
practice or a chance to play a
game, Ward said. We are
looking to be the best team
we can be at in February and
March when it really counts.

Big Eight
Defending Big Eight Conference champion Middleton is seemingly always strong
and the favorite to repeat. Sun Prairie has a
new coach but returns Abby and Paige Millard. The Cardinals and Verona/Edgewood
find themselves in different sectionals this

year, however.
The conference lost five of its top athletes from last year, so the podium is sure
to look very different this year at invites
and tournaments, Hauser said.
Madison Memorials Caroline Smith and
Kayley Alioto, Middletons Aryn Skibba
and Sun Prairies Katyalex Schoenike all
graduated, while Alt has chosen to pursue
other sports and will not be returning to
gymnastics this year.
With Sun Prairie moving to the Arrowhead sectional, the opportunity is there for
the Wildcat/Crusaders to still see some
new state qualifiers.
Verona/Madison Edgewood hosts Sun
Prairie inside Glacier Edge Elementary on
Jan. 15. Other key conference duals are
Feb. 5 at Madison Memorial and Feb. 17 at

are most commonly found in shade and drapery linings in hotel rooms, bedrooms for
shift workers, childrens rooms and nurseries as its an essential element to gain sleep
during daylight hours. Many shading options are available in blackout such as roller,
honeycomb/cellular and roman shades. Consider them for your media room to create a

Long Term Care
Q. My mother is in a nursing home, and I would like to bring her home to my

house for the holidays, but given her needs that won't be possible. What can
I do to make her holiday time special?
A. Holiday time can be difficult for older people separated from their loved ones
by illness and physical frailty, and these are the very people who tended to us in
our early years to support us into adulthood. This is the time to give back to our
loved ones. We can do this by cultivating that sense of gratitude, an appreciation
for the value they have had for us throughout our lives. Take some time out of
the holiday season to reflect on this and jot down three things that you appreciate
about a family member or members. By writing down these simple statements

of gratitude, you will be inspired to respond in a way that will be meaningful

Q. Do you grind your teeth?

A. Although teeth grinding/clenching can be caused by other things, it is most com-
monly associated with stress and anxiety and often occurs during sleep. It can also
be attributed to an uneven bite, missing teeth, other pains such as back or neck pains.
Clenching, much like snoring, can be difficult to identify because people may not know
that it occurs or do not realize the signs or symptoms. Your dentist can help diagnose
teeth clenching/grinding by looking for signs of teeth wear, notching of enamel at
gumline, teeth chips or fracture lines and sometimes muscle pains, teeth sensitivities
Dr. James Sands, DDS or headaches. Untreated clenching/grinding can lead to a variety of problems ranging
from worn teeth, broken teeth, loose teeth and bone loss to jaw pains, headaches or
TMJ disorders. Teeth loss can and does occur from clenching/grinding. A dentist can
evaluate your teeth and review types of mouth guards/night guards that can be worn to
counter the forces and wear on the teeth, jaws and muscles. The dentist can also review
diet or habit factors that can reduce the damage. If you suspect that you or a partner
grinds/clenches their teeth, contact Associated Dentists in Verona for an evaluation.
Q. How can Santa legally restrict his elves from going to work for the Grinch?

A. Some families love this tradition and some

prefer not to begin it. In some cases, older children
really enjoy it but younger ones struggle with the
concept. If your family follows the tradition, its important to talk often
about the fact that its a way to give ideas to gift-givers but that not
everything will appear under the tree.
Q. Why Are Elders Always So Cold?

A. Chances are their bodies are merely going through a natural dip in metabolic rate due to the aging
process. A lowered metabolic rate affects the bodys ability to maintain what is considered a normal
temperature of 98.6. When metabolism slows, so does the bodys ability to generate heat. This means
elders can become cold outdoors in the sun during summer or indoors in a well-heated room during
winter. It is important to seek medical advice in order to identify underlying causes. Hypothyroidism
and cardiovascular disease are chronic medical conditions that affect body temperature. It is important
to note that, regardless of the reason, the bodys inability to stay warm can lead to hypothermia if the
Stephen Rudolph
body temperature reaches 95 or below. Elders in frail health are more susceptible to hypothermia,
FACHE, CSA
even when the room temperature is 71 to 75. Whether being cold is the result of slowed metabolism
or a medical condition, older adults must stay warm to maintain an appropriate body temperature. Nearly half of the elderly who
develop hypothermia die from its effects. Therefore, a cozy blanket, sweaters, caps, scarfs and gloves are a must during cold
months. Large meals during cold weather also help heat up the body as the digestive process generates heat within. A warm
beverage such as hot chocolate helps too. Avoiding alcoholic beverages is also recommended as they cause the body to lose heat.

Q. How Do IKeep Low Rates from SinkingMy Retirement Plans?

A. If you keep some of your retirement savings in fixed-rate investments, you probably havent
welcomed the low interest rates of the past few years. Thats why you may need to consider some of
these moves: First, rebalance your investment portfolio to provide an appropriate mix of investments
for your objectives and risk tolerance. Next, review your withdrawal rate the amount you plan
to take out each year from your savings and investments during your retirement. As you chart your
retirement strategy youll need to factor in a realistic withdrawal rate. Finally, you may want to think

Q. What Health Insurance information do we need to bring to our tax meeting?

A. Taxpayer health insurance coverage will need to be reported on 2014 tax returns
for the first time.

If you bought insurance through the Federal or a State Exchange, they will send you a
tax document, form 1095-A, by the end of January. We will need that form to complete
your return. Although only the Exchanges are required to provide 1095s this year,
you may also get one from your insurance company or employer. Bring those if you
Greg Andrews, CPA receive them.
If you dont have coverage, theres a new tax. If you received an advance credit from
an Exchange, that credit will need to be re-computed and adjusted based on your actual
income.
If everyone on your return was covered by Medicare or employer health insurance all
year, thats all we need to know. We will check a box your 1040, and move on to other
tax issues. We hope most returns are this simple!

and milk. The degree to which non-competition agreements are enforceable varies by the context (i.e. employment versus sale of
business) as well as jurisdiction. Wisconsin generally allows reasonable non-competition agreements, but will invalidate an agreement
entirely if any portion is deemed unreasonable. Since the North Pole shares a similar climate to Wisconsin, Santas attorney may
look to our rules for guidance:
1 The agreement must be reasonably necessary for the protection of the employers (Santas) legitimate interest.
2. The restriction imposed thereby may only last for a reasonable amount of time (2 to 4 years for humans; 200 to 400 years for elves).
3. The covenant must restrict activities only within a reasonable geographical zone (the North Pole).
4. The agreement may not be harsh or oppressive (e.g., preventing the elves from wearing red or growing a beard).
5. The agreement must not be contrary to public policy considerations (e.g., preventing all good boys and girls from receiving gifts).
on listing an older home. The inspection can give you an overview of what
may need repairing or what you might be up against when a buyer has their
inspection. Repairing items prior to listing your property can improve how
your property shows and minimize potential negotiating later. Keep in mind,
the majority of buyers will still want their own independent inspection. The
main objective of a pre-inspection is for your own information for repair and
disclosure purposes. Inspectors are generalists and not all are created equal.

First be sure that the thermostat is in the heat position and the temperature is set above
the indoor temperature. Next, check for power at the furnace by turning the fan switch (on the
thermostat) to the on position. If the furnace blower does not turn on, check the circuit breaker
for the furnace and the switch at the furnace, to ensure they are on. Also check the air filter to
ensure it is clean. If you have LP gas or oil heat, ensure that you have sufficient fuel. Some LP
gas furnaces have pressure switches that will not allow the furnace to run if the tank is low on
fuel. Even though the water heater sitting right next to the furnace lights and runs, the pressure
may be too low to allow the furnace to light. If you have a high efficiency gas furnace with pvc
vent pipes, be sure that the piping is clear of obstructions such as snow, birds or rodent nests.
Also look to see if there are any flashing diagnostic lights on your furnace. For all your heating
and air conditioning questions, contact Dave at OK Heating and Air Conditioning.

Q. What is IDET?
A. Intradiscal Electrothermal Therapy (IDET) is a procedure for the treatment
of pain related to an injury (herniation or rupture) of the disc(s) of the spine.

An electric current travels through a probe that is inserted into the disc that is
injured. The current heats the discs tissues to cause the disc to shrink and also
cauterizes the nerve endings in the outer disc tissue. The tissue healing time
is around 6 weeks and rehabilitation exercises, such as core strengthening and
stabilization exercises, begin between 8-12 weeks after the procedure. This can
be an effective, less invasive treatment, as compared to a surgical discetomy,
yet it is important to realize that the rehabilitation is a crucial component for
recovery. Contact Stellar Rehabilitation for additional information.

Q. Ive been getting headaches at least once a week and my medical doctor
has ruled out any underlying condition. Is there anything a chiropractor
can do that will have a lasting effect?
A. 95% of headaches are primary headaches, meaning they are tension or

migraine headaches and are not caused by disease but originate from muscle
tension in the head and neck. Chiropractic adjustments restore normal spinal
function which helps to alleviate tension and increase circulation to these areas.
Jill Unwin,
Chiropractors will also guide you in correcting common causes of headaches
D.C., C.C.E.P
such as stress reduction, ergonomics, and diet. As far as long-term effects, a report
released in 2001 by researchers at Duke University Evidence-Based Practice
Center in Durham, NC, found that spinal adjustments resulted in almost immediate improvement for
those headaches that originate in the neck, and had significantly fewer side effects and longer lasting
relief of tension-type headache than a commonly prescribed medication.

he said.
Though the equipment is
free, Coughlin said theres
still a cost to taxpayers at a
federal level for using it.
Just because other

Unified Newspaper Groups 5th Annual
Cameras not priority

Body cameras for police
are also in the news. Earlier this month, President
Obama asked Congress to
spend $75 million to help
pay for 50,000 small cameras that could be mounted
on police officer uniforms.
Proponents say the cameras could foster public
confidence that police are
doing their jobs correctly,
though critics see it as a
costly requirement that
could raise privacy concerns.
In Dane County, it
appears only Stoughton
and McFarland police
Coming Wednesday, January 28, 2015
departments have body

cameras, said McFarland
chief Craig Sherven, president of the Dane County
Chiefs of Police Association.
Verona police already
have cameras in squad cars
that activate when the siren
or lights are turned on. And
officers occasionally wear
microphones in the field to
capture audio from interviews or encounters.
Coughlin said body cameras may someday become
standard for police and
doesnt rule them out for
Verona.
But he wonders if costs to
maintain and replace cameras and the servers needed
to store the videos could
add up fast.
They may be a helpful
tool, he said, but where
does it end? Were already
recording an awful lot of
public interaction.
