Bitter Chills‘Life threatening’ cold snap hits Verona

Scott Girard and Mark iGnatowSkiUnified Newspaper Group

After a couple of mild winters the past two years, dangerous cold has returned to Wisconsin.

High temperatures of 11 degrees below zero – with windchills falling below m i n u s - 4 0 – p r o m p t e d schools to be canceled Monday and Tuesday in Verona and city officials to prepare for weather emer-genc ies . Tempera tures dipped as low as minus-18 during Monday night.

The weather was pro-jected to be the coldest air to hit the state in nearly two decades, according to the National Weather Services.

“This will be the coldest air we have experienced since the arctic blast in Feb-ruary of 1996,” the Nation-al Weather Service said in a wind chill warning Friday.

The city had a couple of water main break over the past few days, and burst pipes forced at least one local business, Rhapsody Arts Center, to close for the week.

The state was gripped in cold weather all last week, with windchill advisories throughout the week. A winter weather advisory went into effect Friday, with sustained winds of 15 to 25 mph forecasted to blow snow throughout the region.

“Roads oriented east to west and out in rural areas will be most affected by the blowing and drifting,” the Weather Service warned. “Be prepared for unexpect-ed and rapidly changing road conditions.”

Blowing snow continued to be a factor earlier this week with sustained winds around 15 mph and gusts up to 30 mph.

trict superintendent Dean Gorrell couldn’t recall the last time school had closed twice in a row thanks to cold weather.

Spring election

Mayoral, county racesaldermanic seats also contestedMark iGnatowSkiUnified Newspaper Group

Veronans wi l l have plenty of choices at the ballot box this spring, with contested mayoral, aldermanic and county supervisor elections.

All other local races are uncontested, with two can-didates for two seats on the Verona Area school board and two Town of Verona incumbents both running unopposed for reelection.

The highest-profile race is for Verona’s mayor, where eight-year incum-bent Jon Hochkammer faces his first challenge in Chad Kemp.

In the past week, Mike Willett joined the race, with Pat McPartland, for Verona’s seat on the Dane County Board, where he had served for eight years before losing in 2012 to Erika Hotchkiss. Hotch-kiss will not be running for re-election.

District 4 voters will also get to choose between for-mer alder Evan Touchett and incumbent Mike Bare.

attorney who works out of his Verona home office, announced his intention to run against Hochkammer in October.

Kemp told the Verona Press he was “inspired” by

Verona Press.That was when Dane

County school districts had only recently created a stan-dard for schools to close. If the wind chill factor is expected to be sustained at or below minus-35 degrees, which triggers a Wind Chill Warning from the Nation-al Weather Service, the schools close.

The district had by Fri-day afternoon announced its decision to close Monday. It later canceled its scheduled school board meeting Mon-day night.

After a snow day on the final scheduled day of school before winter break, these two days have created a tight window for meeting the state standards for min-utes and hours of instruc-tion students at Verona Area High School are required to go through in a given school year, Gorrell said.

“We’re still early on, so we can have plenty of time to make up those minutes,” he said. “The down side is we still have a lot of winter left.”

He said options for mak-ing up time, if necessary, include shortening lunch or passing time or adding minutes to the end of the day, adding that “a couple of minutes here or there” can make up the time when sustained for the rest of the year.

Middle schools and ele-mentary schools are still above the requirement, Gor-rell said.

Around the cityFor most people in Vero-

na, the biggest disruption other than school closings was probably delayed trash service, which happened in both the town and city.

A couple of businesses dealt with busted pipes, however.

When Rhapsody execu-tive director Leo Van Asten walked into Rhapsody on Saturday morning, there was an inch-and-a-half of water throughout the place, and there was so much damage it will close for a week.

The damage wasn’t as bad

at the UW Health Family Medicine clinic, which had a busted sprinkler pipe but got away with “minimal” problems, said UW Health public affairs specialist Mike Klawitter.

And while the city got a few calls from homeowners about frozen pipes, public works staff said they were able to prevent damage.

City of Verona street superintendent Greg Denner said consistency is the most important factor in how tem-perature affects the street department’s work.

“Fluctuating temperatures ... seem to be why we have more of our water main breaks,” he said, mention-ing a break that occurred Saturday, which had a high of 33 and was surrounded by below zero temperature days.

Other than that and one other water main break, Denner said it’s been a rela-tively simple winter.

“The cold has definitely made some issues harder to deal with, but my guys are pretty accustomed to working outdoors in cold

temperatures. They have the appropriate gear,” he said. “Things aren’t that much different.”

He said they monitored public buildings, including the city’s wells and water towers, a little more than usual Monday and Tuesday to ensure the heat stayed on and pipes did not freeze.

Other traditional outdoor duties, such as collecting Christmas trees, that would normally have happened Monday and Tuesday were moved lower on the priori-ties list until the tempera-tures rise again.

The cold caused head-aches for some residents Monday, with recycling and refuse collection delayed. In the Town of Verona, Pellt-teri collections had a late

start and fuel gel-ups Mon-day afternoon. The collec-tion was finished Tuesday.

Emergency protocolWith the bitter cold, emer-

gency responders and police have taken a few extra pre-cautions.

Police officers in Verona planned to do more traffic patrol early this week, chief Bernie Coughlin told the Press.

“We’re more aware of pedestrians and vehicles that become disabled,” he said.

Protocols don’t change for officers responding to calls, other than maybe having more hats and gloves.

“Regardless of the nature of the call – if we need to be out there, we will be,” Coughlin said.

Firefighters, too, worked last week to prepare for the arctic blast. Chief Joe Giver said crews worked to pre-pare the department’s trucks by draining water from pumps and putting additives in fuel tanks to keep the die-sel from gelling.

“Our biggest challenge is keeping our people safe and warm,” Giver said.

Giver said fire calls would likely have a lot of mutual aid responses so that crews could rotate warm firefight-ers into the scene.

The National Weath-er Service predicted that the ‘life-threatening’ cold would only last for a day or two – the wind chill warning lifted at noon Tuesday.

Contractors from Coons Construction dismantle one of several soundproofed rooms while an industrial drying fan blows at Rhapsody Arts Center on Tuesday morning as part of the center’s flood mitigation efforts. Executive director Leo Van Asten said a pipe burst about midnight Saturday and was discovered several hours later, with about 1.5 inches of water covering the facility and more than six inches in a back room. The business was insured, but no damage estimates had been determined as of Tuesday.

Commission likes small-lot adjustmentJiM FerolieVerona Press editor

All but one member of Verona's Plan Commission braved the historically bitter chill Monday night to move along plans for two East Verona Avenue restaurants and a southeast-side subdi-vision that could be a test case for extra-small home lots.

The meeting was the third time developer Chuck Buell has pitched the new style of subdivision – which would only really apply to about 20 of 35 homes in the remain-ing 7-acre piece of Home-town Grove, across from Glacier Edge Elementary School.

That oddly shaped chunk of land has been a difficult one because of a problem with road access. It was originally planned for 94 townhouses during the first neighborhood plat, in 2004, and an attempt to accom-modate market changes four years ago by decreasing

the number of townhouses and adding apartments got a weak reception from the Common Council, partly because it had only a single entry and exit road.

Monday's second shot at the latest plan seemed to offer the best hope yet for turning the area into a much more marketable section of single-family home lots. Some could be as small as 3,744 square feet -- less than half the minimum size in Verona just 16 years ago.

Buell , who has been involved in the plan for the entire neighborhood from the beginning, produced four options for the lots, the last of which got the unof-ficial endorsement of four of the six commissioners. Buell had sketched out that option by hand just before the meeting, then revised the pencil markings during the cordial, cooperative 35-min-ute talk. Afterward, he went over details with two alders who had been sitting in the audience.

Though some commis-sioners liked the idea of a different version – labeled Option B – which would have created a long, thin park adequate for hosting a meandering bike trail, they were uncomfortable with the only vehicle access to the adjacent homes being through 16-foot alleys.

Buell also showed a ver-sion (Option C) that would meet basic city standards and therefore not require the complex, three-stage "planned-unit develop-ment" process he's aiming to undertake. That only got the endorsement of commis-sioner Jeff Horsfall, who has not shown any comfort with the idea of small lots.

Others didn't like how it would be incongruous with the rest of the road. Buell indicated it would be the fallback plan if he can't work out the "traditional neighborhood design"-based concept with the city.

Ald. Dale Yurs, the coun-cil's representative on the

commission, didn't pick a specific option, stating rather that he liked the idea and was optimistic that something would work out. He and the two alders in the audi-ence, Mike Bare and Heather Reekie, have expressed inter-est in adding more starter homes to the city's dwindling housing stock.

As it did last month, the concept plan will go to the council Monday for review.

Alders voiced general support for the small-lot concept in December, but they had concerns about that version's proposed road widths, which could have caused problems for emer-gency and public works vehicles. The new plans widened the main loop to 32 feet, with right-of way (including terraces) at 56 feet. That's still thinner than the 36-foot/66-foot stan-dard, but it is wide enough to allow for on-street park-ing on both sides and a small island for plow trucks to store snow in the winter.

Two new restaurantsCommissioners had ques-

tions about operating hours and minor design issues for two new restaurants off East Verona Avenue but unanimously recommended approval Monday for the required conditional use per-mits after empty public hear-ings.

The council will have the final say next Monday.

The Little Caesar's Pizza and Brews Brothers res-taurants would take oppo-site sides of a 611 Home-town Circle building that's under construction in front of the Farm and Fleet. The 8,000-square-foot building

already has plans for two other tenants – a U.S. Cel-lular phone store and an Orange Leaf Yogurt fran-chise – and will have one additional vacant spot.

Brews Brothers, which would have the biggest of those five spots, at 2,130 square feet, plans to be open until 1 a.m. Friday and Satur-day nights and until midnight the rest of the week, with the restaurant ready for occupan-cy in April. The Little Cae-sar's, which would feature a drive-through window, will be open until midnight Fridays and Saturdays and 10 p.m. the rest of the week, with the lobby possibly closing earlier than the pickup window.

last year’s elections and has been critical of the city’s handling of the fire depart-ment changeover and said the city needs a stronger vision from its top elected office.

Hochkammer, who works for the Wisconsin Counties Association, has served as the city’s top official since 2006.

Other municipal seats up for election this year are alders Mike Bare (D-4), Mac McGilvray (D-1) and Brad Stiner (D-3).

Bare faces a challenge from former alder Evan Touchet t , who los t to Heather Reekie in 2013. Bare was appointed in June after Ald. Jeremy Charles resigned.

McGilvray and Stiner are running unopposed, as is Jack Linder, who is running for the District 3 seat held by Scott Manley.

Linder is a former Dis-trict 1 alder who vacated his seat in 2008 when he inad-vertently moved a block

outside the district. He was unable to regain a seat when he challenged Ald. Scott Manley the following year in District 2.

Manley cited time con-straints as his reason not to seek re-election.

“My new responsibilities at work have made it diffi-cult to juggle family time, work and city council,” Manley said in an email to the Press. “I will definitely miss serving on the coun-cil.”

Dane County BoardWillett , the owner of

Dependable CarStar in Verona, is a Town of Vero-na resident who himself unseated an incumbent on the County Board in 2004.

Pat McPartland is a for-mer Verona Area School District special education teacher who ran unsuccess-fully for an at-large seat on the school board last spring.

County Sup. Erica Hotch-kiss will not seek a new term. She was unavailable for comment Tuesday eve-ning.

Verona Area School District

The Verona Area School District Board of Education has two elections this year, but both are uncontested.

At-large member Jean-nie Porter announced last month she will not seek reelection.

Derrel l Connor , who works at Hemb Insurance Group in Madison and has three children in VASD schools, has announced he will seek the open seat. Connor hosts a weekly radio show on WTMJ in Madison, volunteers at Savanna Oaks Midd le School and serves on an advisory council for the Madi son Met ropo l i t an School District.

Porter decided not to run again due to a new job that requires more of her focus in addition to her four chil-dren growing up and being involved in more activities, she said in an email to the Verona Press.

She said she did “not want to give (the board)

less time than it deserves,” and said she was proud of her work in her three years on the board.

President Dennis Beres’ term ends this year, and he is running unopposed for reelection.

Other electionsIn the Town of Vero-

na, supervisors Manfred Enburg and Mark Geller both have filed for re-elec-tion. No challengers have filed for their seats.

Dane County Circui t Cour t judges John W. Markson and William E. Hanrahan also face re-elec-tion.

The spring election will be held Tuesday, April 1. A Feb. 17 primary will be held, if necessary.

Election information is available from your local clerk, or online at gab.wi.gov.

Protect your family members from scamsThis is a truly special time

of year for many of us – a time for reflection, family

bonding and giving to others. Unfortunately, it is also a time when dishonest people take advantage of others.

Every year there is some terrible story on the news of people stealing from a charity or gaining access to credit card numbers. The stories that we don’t hear can often be just as heartbreaking.

For instance, I recently heard the story of an individ-ual receiving a call at 1 o’clock in the morning from someone claiming to be their grandson. He said that he had been arrested for driving under the influence while trying to make his way home for the holidays. He didn’t want anyone to know but desperately needed money wired so that he get out of jail and home to his family.

Of course, the loving grandfa-ther rushed to help – and didn’t find out until seeing the grand-son a week later that he had not called and had never been in trouble. The grandfather had been scammed.

This story is just one of many similar tales that phone scammers use to target senior citizens. In what’s known as the “grandparent scam,” crooks scare their elderly suspects with a call in the middle of the night, catching them off guard with a heartbreaking story about someone they care about. The “grandchild” is always in need of cash, which he or she instructs the victim to wire through a money-transfer ser-vice, and repeatedly asks the victim not to tell anyone.

Because people over 60 are perceived as trusting and polite, more and more scams are target-ing them. And as that segment of the population grows, so, too, will those trying to take

advantage of them. In 2010, the Federal Trade

Commission received 60,000 complaints about the grandpar-ent scam and related frauds; in 2011, the number of complaints increased by 22 percent, to 73,281.

There are a number of other scams that are becoming more prevalent.

For example, con artists often pose as telemarketers to ask for donations for veterans or other civic causes, or they pretend to be from a government agency and try to persuade their target that new regulations require them to pay an exorbitant sum for unneeded products or ser-vices.

And, of course, there are the classic prize schemes – phone calls, emails or mailings inform-ing the target that they have won some fabulous prize or sum of money and need only send a small amount of cash to cover the fees to collect their prize.

There are some things you can do, or remind your family mem-bers of, to try and avoid falling victim to such scams.

First of all, be informed. Just knowing that these types of scams exist can help as it may make the potential target stop and question things before agreeing to send money.

Along those lines, know that no legal sweepstakes would require you to pay taxes or fees in advance of collecting the winnings.

Never wire or send money to someone you don’t know. Just like sending cash, once you have sent a wire, you can’t get the money back, so no matter how convincing the tale sounds, get third-party confirmation before sending anything.

Fraudsters will try to press you to do something immedi-ately and will try to catch you off guard and cause panic. As disturbing as the call may be, try to remain calm and use your common sense.

Ask questions. Often con artists have very rudimentary

information about your family or the organization they are pre-tending to represent. If you ask them questions to confirm their identity – such as another fam-ily member’s name or birthdate or where the headquarters for their organization is located – they will often terminate the call or correspondence.

Get third-party confirma-tion or independently contact the individual or organization. For example, if your “grand-son” calls needing money wired immediately, try calling his cell phone directly – most likely he’ll answer and have no knowledge of the call you just received. Similarly, if a governmental agency contacts you about new regulations or requirements, you should call that agency directly and talk to someone about the call you received.

As always, protect your infor-mation by keeping your phone and email account private, and invest in a shredder.

Often scammers gain some piece of information from you – like that you have a grandson or support veteran’s causes – and use that information to try and exploit you. And remember that scammers don’t always ask for sizeable amounts of cash to start. They may start with a small amount and then keep coming back to you with similar requests.

Remember that scams are constantly changing and being developed. If you suspect that you are being targeted, contact your local law enforcement agency to report it. Even if you don’t fall victim, you may be able to help save someone else by reporting the scam.

City budget shows council can find common ground, work together

In this increasingly polarized political climate often the art of compromise is lost.

However, the Common Coun-cil compromised on a budget that strengthens services for a growing city and respects the taxpayer.

This budget offers an oppor-tunity to enhance senior services by funding additional hours for an administrative assistant at the Senior Center. This position will allow the Senior Center to con-tinue to provide the many servic-es seniors rely on for day-to-day activities. We also grew senior services by further funding senior transportation to ensure that everyone who wants to attend the Senior Center programs has the opportunity.

The 2014 budget also guaran-tees that other vital city services are maintained. The city budget adds a Lieutenant position to the Police Department, which will help the police grow with the city and allow them to continue the wonderful service they cur-rently provide. Public Works also

received an additional position, which strengthens a service often taken for granted. Lastly, the bud-get funded one part time position for the Library to maintain their award winning services.

As we increased the budget to ensure services do not diminish, the council also looked for areas to cut. At the end of the night, the budget passed by the council kept the tax increase at 3 percent, the same level passed by the finance committee.

This budget is the result of com-promise. We had a healthy debate and strong public participation, which will hopefully continue. As we move into 2014, I hope the council continues down this path of working together so we can work through important issues such as the downtown revitaliza-tion and other projects to move Verona forward.

The Age of Anxiety

We live in perilous times. Rogue states with chemical or atomic weapons, fanatical terrorist groups spreading fear and hatred across the globe, and technology that changes too quickly for anyone to keep up with it are all part of our modern world. Our fears are stoked by the modern media’s 24/7 news cycle and its insistence that something terrible is just around the corner. Even those who are not particularly tuned into the news are anxious; there is a certain anxiety that comes with our modern technology. The noise of the cell phone ringing is like an alarm going off and it’s often

just as startling. The ping of your computer telling you that you have a new message pushes the same anxiety button, and since our phones allow us to be constantly connected we are now living constantly with alarms, buzzers and a

sense of time urgency. So, what can we do about all of this? A first step might be to choose more soothing ring tones or just to turn the computer and phone off for extended periods of time. We should also take time out of our busy schedules for solitude and quiet time, a time when we might commune with God or nature and our souls can be at rest. God does not want us to be anxious; be in His presence and trust in

the Lord.– Christopher Simon via Metro News Service

“The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving

let your requests be made known to God.”Philippians 4:5-6

Cats stay hot, move to 10-1LaCroix and Campbell combine for 30 points in 68-29 winAnthony IozzoAssistant sports editor

A loss at Middleton is the only blemish on the Verona girls basket-ball team so far this season after a 68-29 blowout win at Madison East last Friday.

The Cats (10-1 overall, 6-1 Big Eight) jumped out to a 23-1 lead after the first quarter and proved to be too much for the Purgolders (0-8, 0-7).

Verona put the game well out of reach in the third quarter with a 23-10 advantage, while the defense didn’t allow more than 10 points in any quarter.

Verona senior guard Jenni LaC-roix and senior forward/guard Mar-ley Campbell led the scoring barrage with 16 and 14 points, respectively. LaCroix added two 3-pointers.

Sophomore forward Grace Muel-ler added nine points, and junior forward Lexi Richardson chipped in eight. Sophomore forward Kira Opsal and freshman forward Alex Luehring contributed with seven points each.

Senior guard Alysha Justice led East with 10 points.

The Wildcats host Madison West (3-5, 2-5) at 7:30 p.m. Friday.

Wildcats rally to control Big 8Jeremy JonesSports editor

The second-ranked Verona boys hock-ey team (11-0-2 overall, 8-0-0 Big Eight) trailed in both of its games last week only to counter with two more victories.

It appears the only thing the Wildcats couldn’t control last week was the weath-er, which led to the postponement of Tuesday evening’s non-conference game inside the Oregon Community Sports Arena.

Frigid temperatures brought on by a polar vortex forced cancellations at both schools Monday and Tuesday. Wisconsin is one of 26 states that were under wind-chill warnings or watches, in response to the polar hurricane that broke loose of its North Pole confines and left as many as 140 million Americans feeling the freeze.

Supposed to be the first round of the annual Howard G. Mullett tournament, the Wildcats continue the tournament at 8 p.m. Friday against the host Warhawks (8-3-1) in Hartland before wrapping things up at 5:15 p.m. Saturday opposite

the 10th-ranked Waukesha Wings (9-2-1).The Verona game at Oregon did not

have a makeup date at the time of the Verona Press’ Tuesday deadline.

After winning the Rochester Kiwan-is holiday tournament for the second-straight year, Verona continues a tough stretch of eight games over the next few weeks, six of which are on the road. The road test ends at 5:30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 24, inside the Resch Center against top-ranked Notre Dame (14-0-0).

Between now and then however, the Wildcats travel to non-conference Madi-son Edgewood (5-6-0) inside LaBahn Arena on Jan. 17 before facing Janesville at home on Jan. 23. The puck drops on both of those games at 7 p.m.

“We’ll try not to look too far ahead, and just take one game at a time, while trying to get a little better each game,” Verona head coach Joel Marshall said.

Relays race to sixth at Marquette InvitationalJeremy JonesSports editor

T h e V e r o n a / M o u n t Horeb boys swimming team clocked 13 o u t o f 2 4 i n d i v i d u a l season-bests and both free relays also posted best times at Sat-urday’s Mar-quette Invi-ta t ional as the Wildcats finished 11th out of the 26 teams compet-ing with 87.5 points.

“Saturday was a much better performance than our previous two invitation-als at Fort Atkinson and Homestead,” Wildcats head coach Bill Wuerger said. “Our practice routine has been disrupted over the past three weeks by the holidays and the inclement weather.

“Hopefully we can get a good stretch of work in over the next several weeks.”

Verona’s quartet of Erik Wickstrom, Jacob Well-nitz, Bryce Angaran and Kade McGilvray swam to sixth place on both the 200 (1:32.10) and 400 free relay (3:24.10).

McGilvray added a sev-enth-place finish in the 100 butterfly (56.18) and a 10th-place finish in the 50 free (22.63). Wickstrom matched the 10th place finish in the 200 free (1:49.50).

West goaltenders all season. Last Friday, the Wildcats’ assis-

tant captain, who has scored four of his nine goals this season against the Regents, netted a hat trick and an assist en route to a 5-2 victory inside the Madison Ice Arena.

Trailing 2-1 through one period of play, Seid pushed Verona ahead 3-2 with a power-play and even-strength goal.

Seid gave Verona an early lead mid-way through the first period with a short-handed goal before James Pretto, who had a hand in both Madison West goals, recorded a power-play goal and an assist to push the Regents ahead 2-1 entering the first intermission.

Senior captain Charlie Parker (1G, 1A) and Liam Schmitt each added a goal in the win.

Verona, which is gunning for its third-straight title, remained

undefeated atop the Big Eight (ahead of Madison West) with the win. Both of the Regents’ (7-2-0) conference losses have come against Verona, with go-ahead goals by Seid in both games.

Sophomore goaltender Nathan Cleg-horn posted 13 saves in the win, while Kevin Joswiak finished with 38 saves for the Regents.

Verona 4, Appleton United 2Twenty-four hours later the Wild-

cats dropped the puck inside Eagles Nest Ice Arena against non-conference Appleton United.

Knotted at 2-all early in the third period, senior captain Charlie Parker took the game over for Verona, post-ing even-strength goals four minutes apart en route to a 4-2 victory.

Sophomore Josh Novotny, who finished with a goal and an assist, put Verona on the scoreboard early in the first period. The game was far from over though as Appleton (6-4-3) quickly dug itself out of trouble with a pair of even-strength goals over a six-and-a-half minute stretch in the second period to go up 2-1.

Schmitt added a goal and an assist in the win, while Jones posted 13 saves for the Wildcats. James Schro-eder stopped 27 of 30 shots on net for United.

this season,” said Wuerger, who watched Bryce Angaran become the first to best his goal-time on his leg of the 400 free relay (51.04 seconds) Sat-urday.

Mount Horeb’s Glen Hook also added a lifetime best in the 100 breaststroke.

Big Eight rival Madison West, ranked third on the Wis-consin Interscholastic Swim Coaches Association D1 state poll, dominated the meet with 259.5 points – more than 45 ahead of second-ranked Arrowhead. Muskego (192.5) held off Chicago Fenwick

(191) and Division 2 top-ranked Madison Edgewood (183.5) to round out the top five.

Community serviceThe team voted to do a com-

munity service project as part of a school-wide initiative called the Help Project.

On the last day of prac-tice for 2013, the team held a swim-a-thon, with proceeds being donated to the Verona and Mount Horeb Food Pan-tries.

Swimmers completed 5,400 meters (3.3 miles) and raised $650. Freshmen James and Jacob Wellnitz were the top pledge earners on the team.

Boys basketballOffense comes too late in loss to CardinalsAnthony IozzoAssistant sports editor

The Verona boys basketball team’s offense came alive in the second half last Saturday, but it couldn’t come back from a 23-point deficit at halftime, fall-ing 55-39 at Middleton.

The Wildcats (5-4 overall, 3-4 Big Eight) still trailed by 20 after three quarters, but they scored 17 in the fourth to make the score respectable. The points came from the bench at that point, meaning no one reached double digits.

I t d idn’ t help that junior guard Will Kellerman didn’t play. Kellerman is averaging 14 points per game and is second on the team with 112 total points.

This was the first game the Cats didn’t have at least one player

score in double digits.Verona was held to just 10

points in the first half, as the Cardinals (5-4, 3-4) scored 16 and 18 points in the first and sec-ond quarters, respectively.

The leading scorer was junior forward Tyler Hallmark with eight points, while senior for-ward Adam Stiner had seven.

Senior guard Luke Schafer had 15 for Middleton. Senior guard Derek Rongstad and senior for-ward Demond Hill added nine each.

The Wildcats host Janesville Parker (3-6, 1-5) at 7:30 p.m. Thursday and travel to Madison East (4-6, 2-5) at 7:30 p.m. Sat-urday. They finish the week at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at Madison West (6-4, 4-2).

purchase 180 of the Inter-net-based laptops, provid-ing a chance for the stu-dents to take personalized learning to a new level.

That grant was the big-gest of nine the Verona Area School Board chose to fund in last year’s round of Innovation Grants, six of which were technology-focused. The program, in its second year, puts aside dis-trict funds to fund innova-tive ideas offered by teach-ers or other staff throughout the district to work toward eliminating the achieve-ment gap, increase person-alized learning and make the district more attractive to potential families and students.

SOMS sixth-grade teach-er Kim Schaaf said the grants have given students a chance to work at their own pace, figure out their own learning style and get more immediate feedback as a result of online programs they can use every day in the classroom.

A n d V e r o n a A r e a High School teacher Rita Mortenson, whose students are taking their technical knowledge to places like the senior center and library this year, said without the program, even low-cost programs like hers probably wouldn’t happen.

“I think the innovative grant kind of just lets you live on the edge a little bit, try some things that … I don’t know if I would have taken this big of a risk if it would’ve been just funding from the high school,” she said. “It’s just a different feel.”

Getting personalThe first round of Inno-

vat ion Grants featured just more than $50,000 in grants. That rose to more than $81,000 for the current school year, with much of it focused on providing more personalized and hands-on learning opportunities for students.

“The general theme is going to one-to-one comput-ers,” superintendent Dean Gorrell said of the more than 40 applications the district received last year.

That was the main idea behind the SOMS grant. But other successful applications included purchasing 30 lap-tops for Badger Ridge Mid-dle School math students, videocamera equipment at VAHS, a training for high school staff on how to use technology to best help

students, two Lego robot-ics sets to help with special education at Badger Ridge and Mortenson’s program to send VAHS students to the senior center and library to provide technology lessons.

The district has planned to move toward personal-ized learning for each stu-dent over the last few years, with a goal of providing a personalized learning plan by 2017. It’s a lofty goal, but Innovation Grants like those given to Badger Ridge and Savanna Oaks middle schools are paving a path.

“Helping them understand who they are and how they learn … that is the very center core of it,” Schaaf said, discussing the instant and more detailed feedback some the programs offer over a simple letter grade. “Students that struggle often just see that ‘D’ or ‘F.’ It’s specific for them so they see what they need to work on.”

From self-paced online programs for math to the ability for students to com-ment or edit each other’s language arts work on Google Dr ive , Schaaf said the computers create a “whenever, wherever” learning opportunity for the students.

Having the work collected on the Internet also offers the team of 11 teachers – which calls itself SuperNova – the opportunity to check on their students’ work and progress in the programs. The group meets at least once every day.

Badger Ridge teacher John Bremmer, who applied for the 30 Chromebooks for that school, said the laptops allow “completely sponta-neous” use whenever con-venient or necessary, which is a big improvement from having to plan weeks ahead and book the computer lab. He uses the laptops in two math classes, and said some kids have adjusted better than others to the more self-paced style.

“It took awhile,” he said,

mentioning students’ hesi-tation to ask him for help. “We’ve gotten over that hump, and I’m very busy during the class period.”

He said some of the kids have still not fully adjusted, but it’s a work in progress, and overall he thinks the students have learned more than they would have in a traditional education setting.

“We’re talking about 11- and 12-year-olds,” he said. “To say now you’re in charge of picking and choosing what you want to

learn … I think it’s just a developmental thing.”

What will come next year with the laptops is undecid-ed at SOMS, but Bremmer hopes to expand the use of Badger Ridge’s machines to his science classes.

In any case, Schaaf said returning to the classic teaching style would “be hard” after a year of change.

Hands-on learningTeachers, too, are still

learning new ways and are continuing to get training on

how to use technology. Another of Mortensen’s

grants brought a speaker to talk to VAHS staff about using iPads and other tech-nology to help special edu-cation students.

And the technology focus goes beyond tablets and lap-tops.

BRMS special education teacher Kellie Misbauer used her grant to purchase two Lego Minds torms Robotics sets to use in a second-semester class, with a goal of bringing students

with special needs and their regular education peers together to work on building a robot and having it per-form missions.

And VAHS art teacher Lyz Stremikis brought in four new weatherproof GoPro video cameras fund-ed by a $6,000 grant, say-ing students are getting opportunities they otherwise wouldn’t have.

The students film all sorts of activities with their cam-eras, which students Grant Kis tenbroker and Sam Burke described as “inde-structible.”

On weekends, they film themselves parkouring, which is a form of physical training involving running, jumping and swinging on walls in urban areas. Dur-ing school days, they create time lapses and film scenes for the school news pro-gram.

Kistenbroker has his own YouTube channel, and he has used the cameras on weekends, when students are able to check them out for personal use, to film himself in ways a normal video camera couldn’t. He and Burke said the mobility, slow motion and different points of view are much bet-ter with the GoPros than the school’s old cameras, and they enjoy the filming and editing opportunities that provides them.

Stremikis said the cam-eras increased the demand for introductory film class-es, with two filled up, add-ing that a few students came rushing to her door as soon as they heard the cameras had arrived.

“It’s incredible,” she said.
