its website before
even presenting to the commission last week,
the prospective southeast Verona business had
already made the kind of splash their marketing was designed for. Along with the attention
came quite a bit of splashback, however, before
it finally earned a difficult 4-2 approval from
the Common Council on Monday.
By the time alders got a chance to vote, most
of those images had been removed from the
website, though several, designed by Madison artist Todd Borenstein, remained on the
companys 10-month-old Facebook page in a
somewhat more muted form. One has Jezebel,
the character he created for the company, saying, Get a little Wicked tonight, and another
illustrates the same woman with a Tommy gun,
a bottle strapped to her leg and suspenders and
a tie over a bustier and a short skirt.
That sort of imagery prompted several people including a few from outside Verona to
complain at each meeting about what would
normally be a routine granting of a conditional

Courtney Newberry had a

difficult decision to make last
month.
With her graduation from
Verona Area High School and
a party thrown by her family
in Fitchburg on the same day
as a regional horse show in St.
Paul, Minn., she wasnt sure
which one to attend.
Eventually her family and
friends talked her into returning from the show a day early.
But after earning a top placing there that qualified her for
nationals, not competing in
the last event was a close call.
The St. Paul class on grad
day was Equitation, (the skill
of the rider to cue the horse
for the requested movements), and I feel Im really
good at that, but I couldnt
go because I had graduation,
she said. My friends, Wendy
and Nadya, were saying, Do
you want to go there and have
your diploma get mailed to
you?
That kind of passion and
commitment should serve
Newberry well at the Dane
County Fair Horse and Pony
Show this month at Madisons
Alliant Energy Center, where
she will be competing for the
second straight year. She also
earned a Grand Champion
award on the same grounds in
2013 at the Wisconsin Horse
Council competition on her
own horse.
I am really excited because
I am in a new age group, said

perceived capabilities of
human beings to protect and
offer the horses safety. So
offering love, care and reassurance works with horses.
And the cliche about smelling fear has merit if they
sense it, they may believe
there is cause and fear it.
So Newberrys ability to
keep her horse calm translates to better performance,
said Sherry Combs, coach
of the VAHS equestrian
team that Newberry has
competed with since 2013.
Courtney has no fear
when she rides. She is a
very confident rider, and
this is a strong reason why
Behar (Givenchy-SCH)
responds to her so well,
Combs said. She transmits
her confidence to the horse,
and they both perform very
well because of it.
Combs explained that

horses are animals that out
in the wild get attacked by
mountain lions, and even
when trained, they bring
instinctual feelings associated with the dangers of living in the wild.
Horses are good, theyre
OK and they dont need us.
They wouldnt seek us out,
and they make it fine without us, said Combs. We
need to understand that
when we work with horses.
Combs, who had three
riders when the program
started in 2012 and nine this
year, is a student of natural horsemanship. This is
popularly known as horse
whispering, by which people bond with horses by
understanding their needs
and psychology. She said

Courtney Newberry won a top five placing at the regional Arabian Horse Show in St. Paul on June 13,
qualifying for national competitions. Newberry rode a new horse, JS Cappa Kahla, a challenging task,
and came home a winner despite having received no professional training.
and veteran trainers who

are complete strangers have
mentioned it to Combs after
shows.
Newberry offers a downto-earth explanation for
that.
I dont know how I do it;
they just listen to me sometimes more than people do,
she said. Its also more
like a visual; if you look
at them in a certain way
they know they can trust
you. They do understand in
vocal sense too, and it can
be negative or positive way.
I always am positive in the
way I talk to horses.
Newberry will mention
the word love often when
speaking about horses.
Her love of horses and
kindness to them and others
is amazing to witness, said
her grandmother, Maggie
Newberry, who has raised
her since she was a child.
Developing trust
Still, its difficult to
picture this young, petite
woman riding a towering,
1,000-pound horse at full
gallop.
When we go that fast, it
might sound scary, but its
not, Courtney Newberry
said, noting that her grandfather calls Behar his sports
car. I can take him trail riding, jumping, anything, and
he is so willing to please, it
blows my mind how amazing he is, hell do anything I
think for anyone. Bareback,
full-length gallop, top speed,
you name it.
Its amazing, because I
trust him, and he trusts me.
Her ability to get Behar
and other horses to perform
at their best never ceases to
amaze her grandmother.
The amazing thing about
Courtney is she competes
against people that have
professional trainers for
their horses and professional trainers for their riders,
Maggie Newberry said. As
her softball coach said
Courtney holds herself to a
very high standard and she

meets and exceeds that standard.
Thats both natural and
a result of experience, as
Courtney started riding lesson horses at the age of
6, Maggie said. Courtney
joined the Dane County 4-H
Horse and Pony Club as a
young teen, and she has continued to develop her natural
affinity with horses.
At 15, we knew we needed to buy her a horse, Maggie said. She wanted to do
shows. She started to do
shows and got advice wherever she could.
The future looks bright for
this young grad and horse
show champion, but she is
already thinking about the
next generation.
I was always thinking it
would be great to teach kids
how to ride, show children
the Arabian horses and see
how beautiful and unique
they are, Courtney said.
Whatever is in store in
the future, horses are sure to
play a part.
Wild horses couldnt
drag that away.

rotate on 24-hour shifts

worked in Mount Horeb
and Black Earth before
becoming a firefighter
with Verona. He brings
a wealth of mechanical
knowledge to the department, chief Joe Giver told
the Press on Monday.
Hes a very knowledgeable, mechanical
person to have around the
station, Giver said. Its
good to have a wide experience in the fire service.
In addition to the
mechanical expertise,
Machotka has a wildland
fire fighting background.
He previously fought
wildfires from coast to
coast, he said, served as
VFDs training officer
and is also an instructor at
Madison Area Technical
College. Machotka added
that he grew up in the area
and knows a lot of people
in the community.
24-hour setup
As a lieutenant, hell
be responsible for the
day-to-day operations of
the crew stationed in the
building during his shift.
He and the other lieutenants will be in command
at incidents until the chief
arrives.
Theres a lot of support from the guys that
we have, Machotka said.
We work as a team.
The addition of Machotka as full-time lieutenant
gives Verona three lieutenants who will rotate on
24-hour shifts every day of
the week, with 48 hours off
after each shift. An additional day off every few
weeks brings the total onduty time to about 48 hours
per week for the lieutenants.
Between 6 a.m. and 6
p.m., the lieutenants will
have another full-time
career firefighter and two
paid-on-premises parttime firefighters. That
crew of four will be able
to respond immediately to
calls during the day. After
6 p.m., the station will be
staffed by the lieutenant,
who is on a 24-hour shift,
and a driver/operator. That
crew of two would be able
to respond to Fitch-Rona
EMS calls when a fire
truck is requested. They
would need two additional
firefighter to respond in
order to send a truck to a
fire call after 6 p.m.
Giver said the schedule change will allow for
better response times at
night. Adding the intern
program eyed for August
is expected to give
the department another
24-hour-per-day person
who could respond to calls.
Station update
The move to 24-hour
service was budgeted to
start midyear, both to split
the cost of the additional
staff with next year and
to coincide with the construction of the new station.
That $10 million building project is mostly on
track, but Giver described
the building process as in
flux. Completion dates
for various stages change
each day, he said.
All I can tell you
is what I know at the
moment, Giver said, adding the department is still
planning on having and
open house in September
once all the work is completed.
Now that the department has moved into the
administrative side of the
new building, construction
crews will begin to work
on the next phase of construction.
The old fire station on
Lincoln Avenue was slated to be torn down this
week. That clears the way
for the new buildings
main entrance to get graded, paved and landscaped.
Machotka said the new
station -- with trucks exiting directly on to Verona
Avenue -- has already
improved the safety for
the department. Cars are
willing to stop for trucks
even when they dont have
their emergency lights on,
Giver added.
In addition, the reconstruction of Lincoln Street
and the new stoplight will
increase safety for the firefighters. The trucks will
be able to control the stoplights as they enter and exit
the station.
Work will continue on
the apparatus bays and
the stairs to the EMS living quarters so that FitchRona can move in soon,
Giver said.
Church robbery suspect arrested

VPD still seeking another,
investigating
Police have arrested one suspect
and are still looking for another in an
armed robbery that occurred outside
Saint Andrew Catholic Church on
Thursday.
According to a police news release,
a 15-year-old male was arrested on
suspicion of committing the crime
Friday.
The release said a 16-year-old was
robbed of his cell phone at the 300
block of Main Street at approximately

12:45 p.m. by two young adults, one
of whom had a handgun. The suspects
fled on foot and were not immediately apprehended in spite of a multiagency search involving Dane County
Sheriffs K-9 units.
The district was alerted by local
law enforcement of the incident
around 1 p.m., and immediately
locked down Badger Ridge Middle
School, Verona Area High School and
the administration building, according
to an email distributed to school district employees. Superintendent Dean
Gorrell said the districts buildings
supervisor heard about the situation

from an officer who was in the VAHS
K-Wing conducting an active shooter
training.
The district also worked with the
Natatorium to ensure the safety of all
individuals in those buildings.
The lockdown was lifted about half
an hour later, the email said.
The district has a crisis incident
plan in place that was immediately
utilized, according to the district.

the First Amendment.
The First Amendment guarantees that government will not

infringe on a persons right to
express himself or herself. What
is a marketing campaign if not
free expression?
Imagine if the city or county
were to object to the local food
pantry changing its name to
the Badger Prairie Needs Network (the former Verona Area
Needs Network), as it did this
week. Some people who have
religious objections to the name
Jezebel or moral problems with
cartoon women posing provocatively might think thats a
different case, but it really isnt.
Neither of those is an area the
government has any place sticking its nose into, particularly
once the copyright is granted.
Its not a surprise that many
area residents did not understand that as they got whipped
into a frenzy over the past two
weeks over words and drawings. And it might have been
an error in judgment by the distillery proprietors (or a brilliant
scheme!) to reveal their marketing campaign before they got
approval for their project.
But the real mistake came
when the Plan Commission fed
this fire by even entertaining
the discussion and some alders
made it worse by fanning the
flames a week later.
Thankfully, one of those city
leaders, Mike Goetz, realized
his and other commissioners
mistake, eventually reminding
the council during its public
comment item this week that
the city has obligations to allow
businesses that comply with its
rules for admission. And Ald.
Jack Linder, who had voted
against the distillery during the
commissions vote and asked
some of the wrong questions
early in Mondays discussion,
also realized his misplaced concern and made the motion to
approve it.
But while the council was
slightly more careful than the
Plan Commission, it wasnt
careful enough.
Picture the legal muck the
city could have gotten into had
there been a legitimate reason
to deny the operation proximity to residences, for example

and the proprietors sued, claiming a bias against its name, supported by alders comments on
the record, on television. Maybe
not a winning case, but likely
expensive for the city.
Consider what would happen if the business came in as
Wisconsin Distillery, as proprietor Mark Jawson suggested,
and then, oh, I dont know,
changed its name a week later
and unveiled a bold marketing
scheme involving far more suggestive themes. Its certainly
possible, and there would be
zero recourse.
Or worse yet, think of the
legal hot water the city could
be in if the business were to
change its name to something
milquetoast, fail, and then sue
the city for preventing it from
succeeding.
I had expected to see a few
concerns about a distillery
doing business in Verona. There
were some oblique references to
that, but they clearly were secondary to the moral indignation.
Im sure thats because Veronans are smart enough to know
that ship sailed long before the
city committed $600,000 to
bring Wisconsin Brewery a few
blocks away three years ago
and later approved a downtown
microbrewery and a 48-tap pub.
Alcohol is not new to Verona.
Whether youre in favor of
big, benign government or
small, unobtrusive government
should not matter. It would
not have been an endorsement
of the companys marketing
scheme, abetting in the objectification of women or a commentary on promiscuity for the
city to simply say, Thanks for
your comments, but we cant
discuss the business name or
its marketing any more than we
can regulate whether you own
your home or rent it.
Hopefully, well all know better next time.

Concerts in the Park take place on Thursdays in July

A soundtrack was added
to childrens laughter and
squeals from the playground at Harriet Park during the first Concert in the
Park performance. The
series kicked off July 9 with
the electric blues tunes of
Dan Law and the Mannish
Boys at the band shelter for
families sprawled out on the
grass on lawn chairs and
blankets.
The free concerts are
held from 6-8 p.m. Thursdays in July. Back again

July 23.
According to the bands
website, the Cajun Strangers primarily play the
traditional Cajun dance
music from Southwest
Louisiana and try to reproduce this energetic style
as closely as they can to
the bands that play down
South. The music consists
of two steps. waltzes and
blues, and is sung mostly

in Cajun French.
While the Kona Ice
truck was once again
parked along Mary Lou
Street to sell shaved ice,
the Verona Senior Center decided not to sell
ice cream and drinks this
year due to a scheduling
conflict. Dale Hagen, of
the Verona Area Active
Adults board of directors,
said, It might be a good
thing for another organization to take on.
In the meantime, people
can still fill their own picnic baskets with special
treats to bring to the park
while relaxing and listening to the music, sponPhoto by Samantha Christian

Chamber orchestra highlights

music fest July 24-25
Scott Girard
The Eagles are coming
to Verona - sort of.
The Wisconsin Chamber
Orchestra will headline the
first Verona Music Festival
July 24-25 with music from
the 1970s rock band to complete two days of music at
Hometown Junction Park.
It has the potential to
be really big for the community, said Verona Area
Chamber of Commerce
executive director Karl
Curtis. A great deal of
Verona can walk to this,
and its right in the middle
of downtown.
The chamber began planning the festival in the winter, when Curtis began discussions with the Chamber
Orchestras director. Curtis
told the Press then he hoped
to make Verona more of an
arts destination through
festivals like this.
Other performers for
the weekend to keep with
the rock and jazz
with a little 70s mixed in
theme are All That Jazz
and Steely Dane on Friday
and the Whitty-Schipper
Verona
Music Fest
Friday, July 24
5 p.m.: All That Jazz
7 p.m.: Steely Dane
Saturday, July 25
2 p.m.: Whitty-Schipper
Collective
4 p.m.: Brandon Bebee
7 p.m.: Wisconsin
Chamber Orchestra
Collective and Brandon
Beebe Saturday before the
WCO ends the weekend.
Curtis said the earlier
bands, while not as big of a
name as the WCO, will be a
great part of the experience.
I really hope people
dont come only for the
headliners, he said. The
bands we have earlier in
the day are pretty cool.
Beer, wine and food
from local vendors will
be sold on the grounds as
well. Curtis called the festival, which will not have
a beer tent like Hometown
Days, an experiment.
This is not an event
where you drink and theres
music, this is an event where
theres music and you can
have a drink, said Curtis,
who doesnt expect there to
be a rowdy crowd.
Curtis said with the festival in its first year, its a big
mystery how many people
will show up and how it will
go. But, he hopes people
can see it as a chance to see
world-class entertainment
right here in Verona.
For people who are
interested in coming to the
Chamber Orchestra, well
have better sight lines and
sound lines than Concerts
on the Square, he said,
referring to the weekly
summer concerts on the
Capitol square in Madison.
The festival begins Friday at 5 p.m. and continues until 9 p.m. Saturdays
music begins at 2 p.m. and
lasts until 9 p.m. again.
If you bring your blanket down and get a burger,
youll have a pretty good
time, Curtis said. Were
hoping people will come
and make a day of it. Itll
be really pretty cool.

REAL ESTATE
PHYSICAL THERAPY
Q. I have a small tear of my meniscus and my knee is very painful. Is there anything
A. Its a sellers market in the Verona, Madison and Middleton area right now and things are very active.
Multiple offers are happening more and more often. This is a good thing, but also very confusing for a seller.
Make sure you have someone helping you who knows how to handle the negotiations properly. Here are the
possibilities for sellers:
Accept your favorite offer: If you have several strong offers, maybe one of them is perfectly acceptable to the
seller, in which case, they can simply accept it.
Counter one offer: Maybe you got a couple lowball offers and one serious offer, but you just need to tweak
some terms of the best offer to make it work for you. Then you could just do a counter offer to the best offer.
Keith & Kinsey Schulz
Multiple counter offer: The seller actually has the option to counter offer to all of the offers. In this scenario
Real Estate Team
each counter offer doesnt have to be the same. For example; you could counter the price and the closing date
to one offer, and just the price to another offer, and maybe you ask the 3rd offer to remove their home sale
contingency. The multiple counter offer is our favorite option for sellers because it usually has the best results
for the seller and gives the seller the last say. If two buyers accept your counter offer, the seller can choose
which one they want.

that Physical Therapy can do to decrease the pain while it is healing?
A. Physicians often send patients to Physical Therapy when there is a slight tear of the meniscus
rather than opting for a surgical repair. Some people think that Physical Therapy involves only
exercise. Strengthening and stretching exercises can be extremely beneficial during PT sessions,
but there are many other types of treatment that will decrease inflammation and pain, promote
tissue healing and repair, and improve mobility while protecting the injured joint during the healing
process. Infrared light, ultrasound, electrical stimulation, myofascial release, lymphatic drainage
Susan Armstrong, MPT and the use of kinesiotape would be likely choices to promote an optimum healing environment in

the joint capsule. Once the pain and inflammation are decreased, the range of motion and strength
will also be addressed. A home exercise program with self-help instructions would be provided and
progressed as tolerated. This program would be appropriate for a variety of injuries to soft tissue,
cartilage, tendons, ligaments and muscle. Contact Stellar Rehab at www.stellarrehab.com to find
out how the above will provide faster healing and recovery from this painful injury.

Hold Your Tongue

A wise friend of my father had a rule about speaking,
which was to always ask before saying something if
it was true, if it was kind, and if it was necessary. He
was a man of few words, but very highly thought of
by family and friends. Most of our daily conversation
would fail his test, especially on the grounds of kindness and necessity. The test of necessity is perhaps
the hardest to pass: will the words I am about to
utter be helpful or edifying. Think about how much
of our conversation is about our own ego, trying to
make ourselves seem clever while knocking down
those around us. Once spoken, words cant be taken
back, and even if we do retract them they are like the
bell that cant be UN-rung. Our words often come
back to haunt us. People will remember things we
may have said in an offhand manner years before,
and like a sharp-edged boomerang, our words have
come back to take our head off. So, we should think
twice before speaking, and consider whether what we
are about to say is true, kind and necessary.
Christopher Simon
Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your
mouths, but only what is helpful for building others
up according to their needs, that it may benefit those
who listen.

Ask the Verona
A: One strain of canine influenza (the H3N8 strain) has been present in the US
for over 10 years and caused occasional outbreaks in kennels. In the early spring
of 2015, a large outbreak of influenza occurred in dogs in Chicago and surrounding
states. Veterinarians first thought this outbreak was caused by the H3N8 strain, but
it tested out as a new strain (H2N2) that originated in Asia. Both strains can cause
severe upper disease that may progress to pneumonia, which can be fatal.
Dr. Barney Smith
In April, one confirmed case of H2N2 dog flu occurred in the Madison area, and we
braced for the worst. Many dogs were vaccinated with the H3N8 vaccine with the hope that it might help
cross-protect against the new flu strain for at-risk dogs.
CHIROPRACTOR
Q. Are children or preteens too young for therapeutic massage?

A. Absolutely not. In fact, massage can benefit youth with a variety of things from
improving sports performance to alleviating injuries and correcting posture, just to

name a few. Kids spend hours at desks, playing sports, and lugging heavy packs
around so it should be no surprise that they experience musculoskeletal problems.
In my practice I see a number of children because of these factors and in many cases
the conditions that I treat a child for are the same conditions that I am treating their
parent for. When a parent brings their child in for the first time, I go through the
Lee Unwin,
same evaluation process and testing procedures that I use for all of my clients. The
LMT
only difference is that I spend extra time explaining how massage is performed; this
helps to alleviate any anxiety or misconceptions they may have. If its preferred, a parent may stay in the
room during the massage. Its never too early to start on the road to good health and wellness; by starting
early we can detect and eliminate small problems before they become large ones later in adulthood.

INVESTMENTS
Q. I never seem to be able to set aside enough money out of my paycheck to invest
or if I do I end up spending it, do you have any suggestions on how I can become
more disciplined?
A. Try becoming an automatic investor. You simply need to have your bank automatically
move money each month from a checking or savings account into the investments youve
chosen. Automatic investing gives you the discipline to stay invested, even during periods of
market uncertainty. People who dont invest automatically may take a time out from investing
during down markets, thereby missing good opportunities. Furthermore, by regularly putting the
same amount of amount toward the same investments, youll automatically become a smart
Matt Gerlach
shopper, because when prices drop, your monthly investment will buy more shares, and when
Financial Advisor
prices rise, youll buy fewer shares. Keep in mind, though, that systematic investing does not
guarantee a profit or protect against loss.
So, do what it takes to become an automatic investor. Its easy, its smart and its effective.

common law, an owner can be found negligent if the injured person can establish that the
owner knew his/her dog may injure someone and that the owner failed to control his/her dog
or to provide a warning. Common law requires ordinary care in the restraint and control
of the animal on part of the dog owner. There is also something called Premises Liability
when an owner fails to eliminate the damages, warn of it, or protect the visitor from it. In

pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life. If the dog owner was aware that the dog had
previously injured someone the injured person may find themselves entitled to double the amount of damages. In
short, dog owners are responsible for damages resulting from a dog bite and remember that you, as the injured
person, have rights under Wisconsin law.
RESPITE CARE
Q. What Should I Expect From Home Care Providers?

A. For families who live away from their elder loved one, home care providers, like Comfort
Keepers offer regular updates to families about the elders well-being and with that, assurance
that the elder is receiving the best possible care.
In addition to peace of mind, home care providers can deliver a wide range of services, working
with elders and their families to create care plans that meet their specific needs. These individual
care plans allow elders the opportunity to age in place, safely and securely. In-home care services
provide support to help preserve elders' dignity and independence as well.
Homecare offers housekeeping and personal care services. Housekeeping services include light

FACHE, CSA
housekeeping, errand services, grocery shopping, respite grooming and dressing, incidental
transportation, laundry service, meal preparation and more. Personal care services include bathing, mobility assistance,
transferring and positioning, toileting and incontinence, oral hygiene and feeding and special diet assistance. There may
not be an immediate need for all of these services now, but the great thing about home care is that it offers plenty of options
that can be added or modified as needs change all in the comfort of home.

CPA
Q. Whats the maximum I can contribute to charity?

A. Theres no maximum contribution, but the maximum you can deduct is 50% of your
income. Its rare for people to donate THAT much, but it happens. If your deduction exceeds
50%, you carry over any excess to future years, so excess deductions arent lost.
Donations are deductible on Schedule A, so the standard deduction is the first hurdle. But
every dollar of charitable contributions counts, unlike medical or employee expenses.
Documentation for charitable contributions is very important. For goods (non-cash) this means
Greg Andrews, CPA
a receipt, descriptions and a realistic value you can back up if necessary. For cash/checks your
cancelled check sufficient for amounts up to $250. For donations greater than that, a letter from
the charity in proper form must be received PRIOR to filing your return.
Donations can be a great tax deduction the hurdles (must itemize) are pretty easy to clear and
the ceiling (generally 50% of your income) is pretty high. There are tricks, however, so if you
have questions, check with your tax preparer first.

DENTIST
Q. It been a long time since Ive visited the dentist, what do I need to do?
A. Youre not alone. Its not uncommon for people to get off track with their dental
care. The first step to getting back on track is making an appointment. At our office,
youll typically be scheduled for x-rays, an oral cancer screening and a detailed examination of your teeth and gums. In addition to x-rays, we also routinely take intra-oral
photos which allow us to show you exactly what were seeing in your mouth. If your
gums are healthy, with no signs of periodontal disease, you will likely have your teeth
cleaned at this visit as well. After reviewing your x-rays and photos well talk with
Dr. James Sands, DDS you about any concerns you may have and if any treatment is needed, well discuss how
we can work together to correct it. Whether its been 6 months or 6 years, its never
too late to get back into a routine. At Associated Dentists we are always taking new
patients and we accept most insurance plans. Wed love to hear from you and answer
any other questions you may have.

Verona Home Talent
secures home field for
Western Section playoffs
Anthony Iozzo
Assistant sports editor
It seems like ages have past

since last seasons Verona Home
Talent team secured a No. 1 seed
for the Sunday League Western
Section playoffs only to fall in the
first round.
But wins over Mount Horeb/
Pine Bluff (13-6) and Dodgeville
(5-1) last weekend secures a new
chapter in the teams legacy, as the
Cavaliers (11-0) once again will be
a No. 1 seed in the Western Section Playoffs.
But there is a different feeling
in the dugout this year. New faces
are contributing, and Verona is as
confident as ever. And this years
success has come without the Cavaliers fielding their full team yet,
missing players due to injuries or
other obligations.
It is the way we have been all
year round, manager Nick Krohn
said. The guys are ready. This
is only going to help us as we get
guys at-bats that maybe arent get
at-bats later but maybe we need
a pinch-hit or will have more guys
missing. It is kind of tough at
times but it is going to benefit
us in the long-term for sure.
While last seasons early playoff
exit might be a little motivation for
the guys that experienced it, Krohn
said it really hasnt been a huge
factor because there are new players that werent even in Verona at
the time, including pitcher Kyle

Nelson and first-baseman Mike
Jordahl.
It is kind of a new team. Half
these guys dont know anything
about what happened last year,
Krohn said. We dont talk about
it. We dont address it. Is it motivation? Maybe. But we expect to
be there every year.
Nelson, who missed time with a
stress fracture in his foot, started
the season as a legitimate ace on a
staff that includes Cole Kroncke,
Zach Spencer, Matt Gust and Ben
Wallace. And Jordahl, a Portage
High School graduate who plays
for Madison Area Technical College, has come on strong lately
including a 3-for-5, five RBI performance against Mount Horeb/
Pine Bluff Saturday.
The team is really clicking right
now and putting runs together,
Jordahl said. The team chemistry
is really good here. Some days we
dont have many guys, and we still
find a way to put it together.
With two games left in the Sunday League regular season, the
Cavaliers have time to not only get
healthy but also to get ready for
a playoff run. The goal as always
is to not only make it back to the
Final Four but to win the teams
first title since 2012.
Our goal is to win every game.
It sounds kind of simple, but we
come out and expect to win,
Krohn said. We know we have a
good team. That confidence is
high. That is for sure.

Q. Why Prune?
A. Pruning makes trees and shrubs more healthy and makes their
photosynthetic factory more efficient. Good pruning is a mixture of

knowledge, skill, science and art. Removing dead wood reduces
the amount of decay entering the tree. Thinning removes crossing
or interfering branches that compete for light. By selecting strong,
well spaced branches, a framework is developed for healthy, future
growth. Each species has a characteristic growth form that can be
accentuated with proper, artful technique.

Jezebel: Name, imagery cause stir in community

Continued from Page 1
use permit nowhere near a residential area (in Liberty Business

Park). In fact, city planning director Adam Sayre finally prompted
a vote from the council after a
painful hour of discussion when
he pointed out the only reason the
business had to face a local government body was because it was
using slightly more space than
defined in state statutes for its
tasting room.
Ald. Brad Stiner (Dist. 3) said
at each meeting he was representing 17 constituents who were
against the business, and Mayor
Jon Hochkammer forwarded several more emails from people in
and around the city, all asking the
city to deny the permit. And yet
few people had concerns with it
simply being a distillery.
Most of the complaints revolved
around the use of the name Jezebel, a Biblical princess who led
her husband to worship false deities and was murdered for it but
is now generally associated with
homewrecking, prostitution and
other unwholesome themes (as
well as a popular feminist blog).
Some commenters also objected
to the objectification of women in
its marketing and others worried
what could come next.
Citizens who spoke and
emailed used phrasing like vile,
appalled, destroys families and
men, detrimental influence
degrading Verona and bad
for families and morals. A few
speakers even intimated that the
private parties, member benefits and flapper nights suggested by owners and the website
could indicate the presence of far
more unwholesome activities.
At least three commissioners
suggested their votes in a 4-2 recommendation for passage were
tied to the imagery and name on
the sign. And alders went so far as
to suggest allowing the business
under the condition that it change
its name (Kingpin was offered
by owners), until Sayre questioned the legality of doing so.
Proprietors Jean Anderson
and Mark Jawson, visibly shaken in the first meeting, told the

commission that craft distilleries,
particularly those that are locally
sourced, as they plan to be, are
part of a booming market thats
similar to the wine and craft beer
market. They explained that the
imagery was pure merchandising something created through
the use of focus groups to make
their products stand out among
the dozens of others at liquor and
grocery stores nationwide.
Were trying to create a little
fun and adventure with the bootlegger, Jawson said. But what it
actually is is Bootlegger Incorporated, and Wicked Jezebel is kind
of like what Tony the Tiger is to
Kellogg.
Quite a bit of the combined two
hours of discussion was spent on
the atmosphere within, which
Anderson and Jawson said would
be clean cut and nothing like a
Hooters or Tilted Kilt, national
franchises known for parading
waitresses in suggestive outfits.
They noted that their establishment is a manufacturing facility
with a tasting room, not a regular
bar, though a photo on their Facebook page does show a planned
bar area with classic features.
A couple of other concerns
raised included the location, next
to a martial arts facility, which
Ald. Evan Touchett (D-4) said
was problematic but Ald. Jack
Linder (D-2) said was no worse
than having Mr. Brews Taphouse
next to Orange Leaf Yogurt. Ald.
Dale Yurs (D-2) asked if the city
restricted adult-oriented businesses, and Sayre pointed out that
they are limited by zoning (heavy
industrial districts, which currently do not exist). Ald. Luke Diaz
(D-3) said he didnt like the name
personally but said the business
should pick whatever name helps
it succeed.
Stiner, who voted no, as did
City of Verona
Touchett, asked an array of questions about the licensing process

which cant be complete until the
still is built and voted against, at
least partly on the grounds that the
documentation wasnt complete.
Just before the vote, Sayre,
who had earlier in the day forwarded an email to the Press from
the Department of Revenue noting that distilleries are prohibited
from obtaining either Class A
or B alcohol beverage licenses,
explained to alders that they are
generally classified as manufacturing facilities and there will be
no city liquor license.
Sugar River Pizza

The council granted a much
less contentious permit for Sugar
River Pizza, just a block away
from the distillery in the new
mixed-use building on the corner
of County Hwy. M and Liberty
Drive.
There was little discussion at
either meeting except commissioner Mike Goetz making a curious note that the people who complained about the distillery didnt
stick around to complain about a
business billing itself as a childfriendly establishment with a bar.
Pizza Ranch
Another pizza restaurant earned
approval in a spot on East Verona
Avenue that has been the site of
several failed or abandoned restaurant plans, just west of Consolidated Food Service.
Architect Jerry Bourquin of
Dimension 4 pointed out to the
commission that the company
chose to add significant design
accents and drop a pickup window after commissioners had
expressed concerns about its
look at the developments initial
review a month earlier. The commission voted 6-0 on the site plan
and the council voted 5-1 on the
conditional use permit (with Diaz
objecting to the increased traffic
it would bring), contingent on a
developers agreement to build
the roadway.
Several associated votes
allowed for creating smaller lots
and building other retail buildings
on the site.
Candinas center brings

apartment concerns
Jim Ferolie
Verona Press editor
A plan to bring the Candinas

Chocolatier shop into the city and
surround it with retail buildings,
restaurants and apartments might
need some changes before it can
get the citys approval.
But what city leaders are saying
it most needs is direct feedback
from neighbors.
The nationally known niche
retailer has been on a 5-acre plot
in the Town of Verona off Old PB
for more than 20 years. During that
time, the Military Ridge neighborhood has grown up around it.
And with developers and businesses all over the area courting
young, affluent Epic employees,
owner Markus Candinas is aiming
to create a mini neighborhood that
would draw that demographic to
live and spend time there with complementary businesses.
But neighbors expressed major
concerns to the Common Council on Monday, a week after Plan
Commission members delivered
the same feedback. And both the
commission and council encouraged Candinas to reach out to
neighbors in a similar way to what
Epic did three years ago when it
asked Westridge residents for their
blessing to expand eastward into an
area formerly planned for homes.
Particularly of concern for most
was the idea of having apartments
(24 total) near an existing singlefamily area something thats
often a sore subject with existing
homeowners.
Such plans, of varying scales,
have drawn negative reactions over
the years, from the 2006 addition
of a handful of condominium units
between Culvers and Noel Way to
the 96 units at Harmony Hills and
the 152 at Scenic Ridge in areas
previously zoned to allow them.
So while commissioners and
alders had varying degrees of
esteem for multifamily units on the

past two Mondays, they generally
agreed their opinions would carry
only so much weight before neighbors weighed in.
The project, produced as a concept plan, for discussion but no
action, is essentially a sneak preview to determine the citys level
of support before developers incur
greater expenses to produce more
detailed plans.
Almost universally, they liked
the expansion of the commercial
area, but multiple people asked
whether it would be feasible without the three-story building some
said was out of place.
Candinas did not rule out the
possibility of making the project
work without it, but he correctly
pointed out that creating a multifamily buffer between singlefamily homes and retail is generally considered good city planning,
and he explained that apartments
were included because of demand
and because they would help the
financing work. He also said his
parents, who spend summers here,
would want to own one of the units.
Candinas also made a point more
than once to bring up the alternatives to people who complained
they might lose their views, their
privacy and their peace and quiet.
He noted that his current C-1 commercial zoning allows all sorts of
other potentially undesirable development, including a distribution
center he said would actually be
helpful for his business.
If it was just about money,
theres other ways this project
would be handled, he said. Right
now Im renting warehouse space.
Candinas told both the commission and council he was already
planning to meet with neighbors,
and Ald. Heather Reekie (D-4) had
Candinas promise to alert alders
and attempt to give notice to the
entire community when he sets up
the meeting.

Its just a drill

Officers from the Verona Police Department and other Dane County
departments held an active shooter training drill Wednesday, July
8, at the K-Wing of Verona Area High School. Teachers and officers
experienced with running the drill observed the officers and gave
feedback on their tactics.
VPD Sgt. Matt Dart told the Press they were practicing setting up a
warm zone, which is when officers ensure an area is safe enough
for EMS personnel to come in and treat some victims, although the
threat may still be active in other areas of the building.
Above, Chief Walter Ostrenga of the Monona Police Department,
left, and a Stoughton Police Department officer, right, enter the gym
to clear the large room.
Officers come around the corner in the K-Wing looking for the shooter.
