Small-group visioning session yields common ground
Mark IgnatowskI
Unifed Newspaper Group
There was some consensus
Monday night as more than 50
people gathered at the Verona
Senior Center to come up with a
vision for Veronas downtown.
Four groups of a dozen or so
people met in small groups to dis-
cuss their ideas for what Veronas
downtown should look like in the
next 25 years. While there wasnt
agreement on everything, some
big-picture items (like spots that are
ripe for redevelopment) and smaller
items (like sidewalk width and set-
backs) drew similar responses from
most group members.
Mondays meeting was the
second part of a process that is
intended to eventually result
i n a new pl an for Veronas
expanded downtown, including
architecture, land use and trans-
portation. It starts with feedback
from residents and included an
online survey designed by MSA
Professional Services that drew
about 250 responses.
The city and MSA had started
out the study this spring trying
to determine what traffic patterns
might be best for the city. They
developed three alternatives an
improved stoplight, a roundabout
and a pair of one-way streets.
During that study, however

No slowing down
After 10 years as police chief, things in Verona are as busy as ever
JIM FerolIe
Verona Press editor
There are lots of ways a
new boss can to get to know
his employees.
Verona police chief Ber-
nie Coughlins approach
was about as unusual as it
gets.
It was his eighth day on
the job, just over 10 years
ago, and the former Brook-
field lieutenant got a shock-
i ng i nt roduct i on t o t he
sleepy, orderly little city
that hadnt had a murder
in more than a century. A
former resident had driven
here in disguise from his
new home i n Dubuque
and shot his ex-wifes new
boyfriend before turning
the gun on himself.
It was the kind of incident
that brings out a police-
mans core personality, and
it was literally the first time
two of the 14 officers in
Coughlins new department
had seen their new chief.
Thats how I met them,
it was out at the call,
Coughlin deadpanned in an
interview with the Verona
Press last week in his trade-
mark baritone monotone. I
was like, Oh! and intro-
duced myself.
When Coughlin accepted
the job of taking the depart-
ment to the next level,
and increasing its level of
professionalism, as Police
and Fire Commission presi-
dent Delora Newton put it
last week, he had no idea
how much hed be thrown
into the fire.
His first year, there were
two separate murder cases
one of which would be
chronicled on televisions
Forensic Files and an
80-pound marijuana bust.
A decade later, Coughlin
is still here and things still
havent slowed down.
There have been bank
robberies, infant deaths,

Living donor reflects on
kidney transplant journey
VIctorIa VlIsIdes
Terry Dvorak has visit-
ed California a few times,
but her kidney, well, it
resides there.
Thr ough a r oughl y
6-mont h l ong process,
Dvorak was found to be
a match to donate a kid-
ney to a Californian man,
whose mother called her
their angel in a letter of
gratitude.
But t r y cal l i ng t he
11-year Verona resident
anyt hi ng ot her t han a
woman with one fewer
kidney, and shell brush
off the praise.
I really, truly feel like
it wasnt that big of a
deal, she said of donat-
ing a kidney. Sometimes,
I have to remember that I
only have one.
As a living donor, she is
still recovering from her
surgery last November,
but that hasnt stopped
her from forming a team
to raise donor awareness
at last weekends Capi-
tal City 5K

T h e r a c e
also allowed
her t o get

Though Dvorak didnt
become a donor to draw
attention to herself, she
hopes others realize it isnt
as scary as it might seem
especially for someone
who is healthy.

Making a community connection
Memorial Baptist Church held its second Verona Summer Fun Night, a community-oriented event on July 29 at Harriet Park. The venue
included free food for attendants, a bouncy house and face painting for kids with the Verona Police Department made an appearance and
gave kids a chance to sit in the cop car and explore the interior. The last Verona Summer Fun Night will be held Aug. 12 at the churchs
location on 201 S. Main St. and will have more activities for the community.

Verona Area School District
Stoner Prairie gets new principal
seth JoVaag
Stoner Prairie Elementary
School has a new principal.
Mike Pisani will take over
the job Aug. 8, succeeding
Chris Olson, who resigned
in June after five years at the
Fitchburg elementary school
to take a job in Baraboo.
P i s a n i ,
35, has been
principal at
El m Lawn
El ement ary
School in the
Mi ddl et on-
Cross Plains
School Dis-
trict for the
past six years. Before that,
he was an elementary school
principal for two years in
Johnson Creek and previous-
ly taught grades 1, 3 and 4 in
Sun Prairie.
Pisani spoke briefly Mon-
day to the Verona Area school
board and said he wasnt
looking to leaving Middleton
but felt the Stoner Prairie job
was too good to pass up.
Pisani said the diverse pop-
ulation at Stoner Prairie was
a big reason he wanted to
work here. Last year, about
a quarter of Elm Lawns
538 students were minori-
ties, compared to 40 percent
of the 420 students at Stoner
Prairie, according to the state
Department of Instruction.
The percentage of students
from low-income families is
higher at Stoner Prairie, too,
at 30 percent compared to 17
at Elm Lawn.
Pisani bested 122 candi-
dates for the job, including
roughly 45 who had previous
administrative experience,
superintendent Dean Gorrell
said. His hiring was formally
approved by the school board
Monday.
The other finalist was
Brian Babbitt, principal of
Banting Elementary School
in Waukesha, a dual-lan-
guage school that groups
native Spanish- and English-
speakers together in bilingual
classes.
Born and raised in Hur-
ley, Pisani earned his bach-
elors degree in education
from Edgewood College and
a masters from Cardinal
Stritch. He lives in Wauna-
kee with his wife and two
children who will turn 5 and
3 years old this fall.
Pisanis salary has not
been set, but Gorrell esti-
mated it will be between
$107,000 to $109,000, which
would be a substantial raise
from the $83,000 he earned
in Middleton last year,
according to DPI figures.

Epics second food service building yet to get a traditional, unique Epic name would feature a lot of glass, much like the companys
first, the Campus 1 building named Cassiopeia.
City of Verona
East Verona developments,
Epic cafeteria go to commission
JIM FerolIe
Verona Press editor
A plan for a restaurant-
anchored strip mall in front
of Farm and Fleet is back
in a different form, and its
not the only proposal the
Plan Commission will see
next week for a large build-
ing on East Verona Avenue.
Its not even the only res-
taurant on Mondays packed
draft agenda, as Epic is plan-
ning its own humongous
food-service building that
would sit between Campus
2 and the yet-to-be designed
Campus 4.
East Verona Avenue
Whatever restaurant or
restaurants would occupy
Outlot 1 in on Hometown
Circle and thats yet to
be determined they likely
wont be as large as the pre-
vious plan for that spot, a
Country Kitchen-anchored
devel opment t hat was
scrapped last month before
it could go in front of the
commission.
That was an issue with
f i na nc i ng, c i t y pl a n-
ning director Adam Sayre
explained Monday. This
t i me , t he de ve l ope r s
appear to be keeping their
options open, with a drive-
through on one end of an
8,200-square-foot building
that can be built out in a
variety of sizes.
A submi t t al from t he
developer shows construc-
tion would start in Septem-
ber, with an intended open-
ing next spring.
One potential tenant is
Orange Leaf Yogurt, which
l i st s t hat addr ess, 600
Hometown Circle, under
a coming soon heading
on its website. However,
another planned develop-
ment along East Verona
Avenue going to the com-
mission next week curi-
ously features a building
that happens to be marked
Orange Leaf on its plan,
along with another building
marked as Organic Farm-
er.
That plan, for the entire
si x- acr e pl ot f or mer l y
owned by the county at 710
E. Verona Ave., also fea-
tures a hotel and yet another
possible drive-through res-
taurant. But Sayre said all
of those items are part of a
master plan that was only
drawn up after he requested
the designers do so. The
only set piece on the plot is
a 12,800-square foot office
bui l di ng desi gnat ed for
AgSource, which currently
occupies an office on Enter-
prise Drive.
That plan would replace
an approved, but appar-
ently dead proposal to build
a start-up restaurant called
Mur phy s Homet own
Hideaway next to the bike
trail.
Epic building
Epi c s st i l l unnamed
64,000-square-foot, two-
story food-service building
has been long-expected and
was even suggested in its
original plans for Campus
2. It would ease the load on
the overburdened Cassiope-
ia building, which has been
serving several thousand
meals each day.
Because of the crowds at
the cafeteria and the load
placed on the lunch crew,
Epic has had to set multiple
shifts for its employees,
which goes against its tradi-
tional culture of encourag-
ing people to work at their
own pace.
The new building is about
50 percent larger than Cas-
siopeia and has space for
300 people inside, as well
as an outdoor patio. A con-
cept plan for the area shows
it northeast of Campus 2
and southeast of Campus
4, which is showing five
buildings named Library,
Fortress, Classroom, Obser-
vatory and Great Hall.
A rendering for the build-
ing shows extensive glass
in the design, including in a
three-story-tall clock tower.
Other items
Other items the commis-
sion is set to consider are a
year-old plan for a Verona
Area Needs Network build-
out of a small part of the
St. Vincent de Paul thrift
store on West Verona Ave-
nue; a public hearing for a
5,720-square-foot office
building next to Grays
Tied House off Whalen
Road; and an update on
plans to turn the Brown
farm on the southeast side
of the city into rural hous-
ing within the city.
Local woman challenges
cap on malpractice damages
seth JoVaag
A Ve r o n a wo ma n
awar ded a $1. 8 mi l -
lion award from a Dane
County jury last month is
challenging a 1979 state
law capping malpractice
damages for University
of Wisconsin doctors at
$250,000, according to a
recent report in the Wis-
consin State Journal.
Terri Fiez, who runs
Des i gner s Showcas e
on East Verona Avenue
and lives in the Town of
Verona, is
b e l i e v e d
t o be t he
first person
mounting a
chal l enge
to the dam-
ages cap,
t he paper
said.
Her hus-
band, Robert Fiez. died
Jan. 16, 2010. He went to
UW Hospitals emergency
room eight days earlier
complaining of chest pain
and shortness of breath,
according to the lawsuit
cited by the paper. An ER
doctor suspected heart dis-
ease or a clot in the lung
and he was admitted to the
hospital.
Medi cal t est s r ul ed
out evidence of coronary
artery disease or heart
failure, and Fiez was dis-
charged Jan. 12 by car-
di ol ogi st Dr. Jonat han
Keevi l wi t hout bei ng
tested for blood clots in
the lung, according to the
lawsuit cited by the paper.
After his death, an autopsy
found the cause to be clots
in the lung.
The jury said Keevils
negligence was a cause
of death; Keevil and a
UW Health spokesper-
son declined the papers
requests for comment.
The $250,000 cap for
UW doctors and other
state workers is designed
to protect taxpayers and
t he st at e government ,
the paper reported, while
for most other doctors
in Wisconsin, the cap on
non-economic damages is
$750,000, and economic
damages arent capped.
Reached by phone Mon-
day, Terri Fiez directed
comments to her lawyer,
Eric Farnsworth, a Madi-
son attorney for DeWitt,
Ross and Stevens.
Farnsworth noted that,
account i ng f or i nf l a-
tion, the $250,000 cap set
in 1979 amounts to just
under $78,000 in 2013. By
contrast, if the amount had
increased to keep up with
inflation, it would now be
$804,000.
The states approach to
capping damages for state
entities is outdated and
pretty egregious, Farn-
sworth said, as it creates
a double standard because
doctors at comparable,
privately-owned hospi-
tals can be sued for much
more. The cap also under-
cuts juries abilities to
award what they feel are
appropriate damages, he
said.
It seems a little odd
t hat ( UW) physi ci ans
should be singled out as
bei ng al most i mmune
from responsibility, he
said.
Robert Fiez grew up in
New Glarus, served in the
U. S. Army in Vietnam
and had worked at CUNA
Mutual for 25 years before
his death, according to his
obituary.
A motion hearing is set
for Aug. 27, according to
online court records.

Woman faces
felony OWI
A 59-year-old Town of
Verona woman faces a
fifth OWI charge, a felo-
ny, according to a Verona
police release.
Accor di ng t o pol i ce,
around 1:30 p.m. Friday,
July 26, an officer spotted
the woman, Joy E. Himsel,
slumped over the steering
wheel of a vehicle that was
stopped in the parking lot of
a local business.
A search warrant was
obtained, and a sample of
Himsels blood was col-
lected. The state lab will
analyze the sample. She
was booked into the Dane
County Jail.
Himsel has four prior
convictions for OWI in
Wisconsin and has two oth-
er OWI arrests pending in
Dane County Circuit Court.
Those cases occurred in
March and earlier in July.

W
hen I was still learn-
ing my way around
community news in
Macomb, Ill. having previously
spent most of my career in sports
journalism I attended part of a
curious process the community
undertook, called a charrette.
Derived from a French word for
a little cart architecture profes-
sors would use to collect draw-
ings from students, it referred to
an intensive
process of plan-
ning a portion
of a community
basically from
scratch. In that
case, it was a
long commer-
cial corridor
entering that
Western Illinois
college town of
20,000 people that had become
run-down and was badly in need
of redevelopment.
It was a more expansive, and
yet more compressed version of
what Verona has been working
on for the past few months with
our downtown. Mondays two-
hour Visioning Session at the
senior center armed with 250
responses to an online survey and
about 50 participants was the
closest thing weve had yet to that
process, and it provided a glim-
mer of hope that we can produce
something almost as relevant.
Much remains to be seen, how-
ever.
The idea behind Macombs
charrette was difficult for people
to grasp at first. But as the dedi-
cated group got settled into their
weekend, they began to see more
and more how they could apply
their feelings and impressions to
effect change in an area.
As people compared work
in smaller groups and planners
presented results, they could see
an ideal, yet realistic vision of
what West Jackson Street could
be, rather than a patchwork of
replacement buildings.
Nearly eight years later, that
road still has an ugly scrapyard
and a rotted-out shell of a grocery
store among its many problems,
but it also has a direction. About
25 properties have been rezoned
from industrial to commercial,
city administrator Dean Torreson
told me this week, and an aban-
doned house has been torn down
and replaced by a sculpture and
park that serves as a gateway for
people coming off the new High-
way 336.
It will be decades before the
road meets the potential those 150
community members saw, but it
was an invaluable source of feed-
back for city planners. And some-
day, I have to think, people there
will look back on it as an impor-
tant part of their citys growth, as
Madisonians think of John Nolen
and his contribution to that citys
cherished New Urbanism.
That might be too much to ask
of Veronas downtown planning,
but theres no reason we cant
aspire to the same goals.
Something must be done to
make Veronas rapidly increasing
size match its downtown, which
is struggling to accommodate the
two highways that form its center.
The piecemeal approach is no
good, and previous master plans
have run into just enough resis-
tance to fall apart.
What could make this time
different is the increased citizen
participation.
Some say the process has been
backward. I dont want to specu-
late, but it is nearly impossible
to capture the average Veronans
attention on something like plan-
ning and development without
mentioning the words round-
about or big box.
I was surprised to see 50 people
participating Monday, but Im
pretty sure that number would
have been lower had the transpor-
tation talk including the contro-
versial split one-ways idea not
preceded the visioning session.
That has clearly been the
upside.
The downside is that until this
week, seemingly radical ideas
have been shouted down the same
way the city-town consolidation
was five years ago. Put simply,
the reasons in favor of rerouting
traffic downtown remain unclear
while the reasons against are obvi-
ous.
Thats where the charrette and
Mondays charrette-like visioning
process can be a big help.
As the City of Fitchburg learned
three years ago while planning for
what it now calls Uptown, the pro-
cess helps give a shape to what for
most is an intangible feeling about
what they think their community
is and should be. It takes thoughts,
words and images and puts them
on paper, kind of like a police
sketch artist putting together a
wanted poster from an eyewitness
description of the bad guy.
Then its easier to figure out
what steps need to be taken.
Heavy traffic, local traffic, no
traffic? New zoning codes? Park-
ing garages? Apartments over
retail?
Im not saying Verona needs to
pony up $150,000 like Fitchburg
did to bring in PlaceMakers and
redesign its zoning code or that it
should try to squeeze 16 hours of
effort over two days from its vol-
unteers like Macomb did. But I do
have a few concerns.
One is that the overall process
feels rushed.
It has taken time to build
momentum for the idea, and the
city is fortunate the recent election
got so many alders out and talking
to people about downtown right in
the midst of the process.
Yes, a true charrette refers to a
project that pushes the deadline
those French architecture students
would actually jump on the cart
to finish sketching out their plans
but its still supposed to take
several months of preparation and
months more of follow-up. And I
still think there is more momen-
tum out there.
Secondly, the structure hasnt
been clear enough.
The charrettes were publicized
months in advance, with the entire
process laid out in detail from
the start. Once my reporters got a
grasp of exactly what they were
about and were able to explain it,
citizens knew exactly what was
going to happen and when.
Here, the scheduling has been
just a few weeks out. I heard
about the online survey which
took me an hour to complete
only 12 days before it closed and
got three weeks notice for Mon-
day nights session.
The city and its planners need to
take their time and take advantage
of the public interest in this project.
And since its probably the only
time this will be attempted here,
they can use all the help from you,
the public, that they can get.

Information from Verona police log
books:
May 18
9:10 p.m. Police cited a 26 year-
old male driver on the corner of
North Main Street and Llanos Street
for speeding and having marijuana
and drug paraphernalia on him.
May 19
5:09 p.m. A 47 year-old woman
complained that a local man had
injured her cat. The incident, occur-
ring on the 400 block of South Jef-
ferson Street, started when the
66-year-old man found the cat on
his property. The cat allegedly dug
its claws into the man, causing him
to bleed and get blood on the cat,
making the owners question whether
the cat had been mishandled. Police
verbally warned the cat owners for
animal at large.
May 22
5:08 a.m. Police arrested two
men, 25 and 29, for drunken driving
after their car crashed into a tree on
the 100 block of Harmony Drive. The
driver had a package of white pow-
der, and police booked him on a felo-
ny charge for possession of cocaine.
The passenger, whose birthday had
been the night before, violated a no-
drink probation and also had a debit
card that didnt belong to him.
May 23
4:48 p.m. Police confronted
three youths who were stacking
picnic tables to get onto the shelter

concerns of climbing on park shel-
ters and had the youths replace the
tables.
8:10 p.m. A 39-year-old woman

The previous four Mama Goose runs have netted more than $7,000 for cancer research.
Mama Goose run turns 5
Seth Jovaag
Ei ght mont hs a f t e r
Verona resident Margaret
Giesfeldt died of cancer in
2009, her husband and sons
organized a charity run
to raise money for cancer
research.
On Aug. 10, the family is
cel ebrat i ng
the 5th annu-
a l Ma ma
G o o s e
Me mo r i a l
Run/Walk.
The e ve nt
has already
raised more
than $7,000
for the Paul
P. Carbone Comprehen-
sive Cancer Center at the
University of Wisconsin
Hospital, where Giesfeldt
received much of her treat-
ment during a seven-year
battle with sarcoma, a rare
and aggressive form of can-
cer.
The community support
has been great, said Matt
Giesfeldt, her 29-year-old
son.
His mom, who went by
Peggy, worked nearly a
decade in Verona schools
as a secretary before she
was diagnosed in 2001 with
sarcoma. She died in Janu-
ary 2009 at the age of 52.
Matt Giesfeldt graduated
from Verona Area High
School in 2002, where, as
a cross-country runner, he
and his brother, Joseph,
were nicknamed Goose,
a play on their last name.
Their mom, a fixture at
their meets and regular vol-
unteer for local sports, was
dubbed Mama Goose.
The first Mama Goose
run drew about 175 par-
t i ci pant s. That number
dropped to as low as 70 or
so but surged last year to
about 170, said Matt, who
earned his law degree from
UW-Madison in 2012 and
now is an attorney at the
Law Center for Children
and Families in Madison.
For t he t hi rd st rai ght
year, the race will be held
at Veterans Park, starting at
9 a.m.
Prizes to top finishers
in age- and gender-based
divisions will earn a small
ceramic star with the races
logo.
Last week, Matt said this
years race drew 17 corpo-
rate sponsors who chipped
in between $100 and $2,500
a piece, the most businesses
have donated in the events
short history. Those spon-
sorships more than covered
the cost to put on the race,
meaning every dollar from
entry fees will go straight to
the Carbone Center.
Matt credited his wife,
Kari, for helping him keep
the race going by marketing
it and helping with the web-
site, mamagooserun.com.
He hopes to continue the
race for years to come.
We intend to keep it
going and keep it up as long
as we still want to, he said.
Matt recently gave anoth-
er tribute to his mom, when
he and his wife named their
2-month-old daughter Orla
Margaret.

Verona Fest returns
to help hockey rink
Seth Jovaag
A two-day party this
weekend will double as a
way for local residents to
support Veronas 19-year-
old hockey rink.
The 4th annual Verona
Fest includes live music,
hockey tournaments, a
silent auction, a 5-kilome-
ter run and other events
based at the Eagles Nest
Ice Arena, 451 E. Verona
Ave.
Pr oc e e ds f r om t he
annual event have helped
offset a laundry list of
maintenance repairs for
the hockey rink, which is
used year-round by hock-
ey players and ice skaters,
said Joel Marshall, execu-
tive director of the rink
and coach of the Verona
Area High School hockey
team.
These are definitely
funds we need to keep
things in order, Marshall
said.
The fest begins at 5 p.m.
Friday and runs all day
Saturday. It features live
music at 8 p.m. on Friday
and Saturday nights in the
outdoor beer tent, located
between the arena and the
Verona Fire station. Mid-
Life Crisis will perform
Friday night and Lube will
play Saturday night.
The fest also includes
a game zone, featur-
ing dunk tanks, inflatable
bouncy houses and hockey
skills games, both Friday
night and all day Saturday,
with tickets costing $1 per
game.
Standard fair food, such
as brats, chicken sand-
wiches, hot dogs and Cul-
vers frozen custard, will
also be sold throughout
the event.
A 3-on-3 hockey tourna-
ment inside the arena runs
all day Saturday. Satur-
days events also include
a TDS TV Verona Fest
Run/Walk that features a
5-kilometer run/walk at 9
a.m. at the arena, follow-
ing a 1-mile fun run for
kids that starts at 8:30 a.m.
Registration for the 5K is
$25 and the fun run is $10.
Another highlight is a
free open skate party
Friday from 8:30-10:30
p.m., and a silent auction
and raffle that will run Fri-
day night and all day Sat-
urday.
The r i nk hos t s t he
Southwest Eagles Youth
Hockey As s oci at i on,
which includes about 200
youth hockey players; the
Ice Spirits, a league for
girls ages 8-14; the Dane
County Learn to Skate
program and the VAHS
hockey team. It draws an
estimated 300,000 visits
annually from spectators
and participants, organiz-
ers say.
The festival is hosted
by Ice, Inc. the volunteer
group that oversees the
non-profit facilitys opera-
tions.
The Olympic-sized rink
has seating for 900 peo-
ple, a heated mezzanine,
a half-dozen locker rooms
and a pro shop and con-
cession area. Volunteers
raised about $500,000 in
1994 to build the $1.5 mil-
lion facility.
In recent years, some
big-ticket expenses put
the rink in dire straights,
so volunteers launched
the first Nest Fest in 2010.
Marshall said the rink
needed about $75,000 this
spring alone to repair the
ice floor and dehumidifi-
cation system and for oth-
er small fixes.
Weve got well over
$150,000 (in repairs) com-
ing up in the next two
years, too, he said.

Is Water a Basic Human Right?
Kofi Annan, the former Secretary General of the United Nations
put the issue concisely: Access to safe water is a fundamental
human need and therefore a basic human right. In the United
States and in most of the developed world we take water for
granted. We turn on the faucet and out pours clean water, but
in much of the developing world this is not the case. According
to the World Health Organization, over 2 billion people gained
access to clean water between 1990 and 2010, but roughly 11%
of the global population (783 million people) still lacks access to
clean water, and since we cannot live for more than a few days
without water, this remains a pressing issue. Three-thousand
children die each day from diarrheal illness, largely a result of not
having clean water. So what can we do about it? We can start by
donating to organizations which help in this regard. Water.org is
a charity which works to bring clean water to these communities
struggling with clean water issues. We should consider buying
one of their water bottles, which might save us money on bottled
water while supporting a good cause.
Christopher Simon via Metro News Service
Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but who-
ever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the
water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling
up to eternal life.

Tackling the gridiron
Nearly 300 incoming fourth graders through freshman participated in last weeks annual
Verona Youth Football camp from Monday through Thursday. Campers enjoyed beautiful
weather in the 70s and low 80s throughout the week.

more than 70 Wildcat players.
Players entering fourth through eighth grade head off to join their respective youth football
teams shortly after the camp, while incoming freshman began their first high school prac-
tices in early August.

Cavaliers win four games in four days
Verona got out the broom last week,
sweeping four games in four days to lock up
the Western Section.
We had explosive hitting, good pitching
and nearly flawless defense throughout the
week, manager Dale Burgenske said.
The Cavaliers three-game stretch of Sun-
day games kicked off Friday in Blanchard-
ville as Verona made up its June 23 game
with a 16-3 win over the Bullets.
Zach Spencer had four hits and four RBIs,
including two doubles and a triple to help
Verona lockup the top-seed in the Western
Section.
The Cavaliers scored 13 runs in the first
two innings, including 10 in the second alone
en route to the blowout.
Ben Wallace got the start, tossing two
innings before giving way to Cole Kroncke,
who picked up his second of two wins on
the week. Nick Krohn threw the final three
innings of relief.
Verona 10, Monroe 5
The Cavaliers most exciting game of the
week came on Saturday when Verona trav-
eled to Monroe for another make-up game.
Leading 6-0 through seven innings, Spen-
cer made things interesting, being charged
with five runs in the eighth. Danny Koss
came on to stop the bleeding and closeout the
win, while Justin Scanlon and Spencer each
roped RBI doubles in the top of the ninth to
give the Cavaliers some breathing room.
Wallace smoked a bases-clearing double
in the second inning and drove in another run
in the ninth to finish with a game-high four
RBIs.
Verona 19, Ridgeway 0 (5)
Justin Scanlon and Spencer each drove in
three runs Sunday as host Verona posted 19
runs in two innings for a 19-0 shut-out victory
over Ridgeway in five innings. Its the ninth-
consecutive season in which the top-seeded
Cavaliers have locked up a first-round bye.
Kroncke picked up the win, tossing a com-
plete-game three hitter. He struck out five and
didnt walk a batter.
Night League
Verona kicked off the stretch in a Central
Night League game at Ashton last Thursday,
rolling 16-3 in five innings.
AJ Stoffels and Koss each drove in three
runs apiece, while Matt Gust went the dis-
tance to pick up the win on the mound.
Stoughton sits atop the standings at 9-1,
while Middleton and Verona are tied at 8-2.
The Cavaliers host Utica at 7 p.m. Thurs-
day.

complicated robbery inves-
tigations and at least one
more large drug bust. The
tools have gotten better and
more efficient, but as the
department has grown and
laws have become more
complex, the paperwork
load has steadily grown,
too.
The pace has not let up,
he said.
Its a far cry from 15 or
20 years ago, when offi-
cers would take scheduled
breaks at the truck stop,
evidence was stored next
to some lockers in a hall-
way and the department
was stocked with old-timers
who had seen Verona grow
up from a truly small town.
Coughlin has had to accept
that his job, and that of his
entire command staff, is
always on the fly, always
playing catch-up.
( For mer Lt . ) Har r y
Barger used to laugh. Id
say, Once we get caught
up here and hed chuck-
le, Coughlin said, recall-
ing when he would dream
of spending more time out
in the community, getting
to know people as he did
as a former patrolman in
Oregon. Hed say, Ive
been there. Chief, were not
going to get there.
Taking on a new world
Coughlin and the VPD
were still reeling from the
April 2003 murder-suicide
when he got his first real
test, just eight weeks later.
That was when a Tai-
wanese col l ege st udent
killed three acquaintances
over a gambling debt in
a small apartment where
they frequently gathered on
South Main Street. It was
a case that didnt just tax
the departments modest
resources; it briefly brought
national attention and infa-
my to Verona.
Because several other
l ocal l aw enf or cement
agencies and even the FBI
got involved, work on the
case had to be done at the
sheriffs office in down-
t own Madi s on, whi ch
was the only place with
enough room for everyone.
That meant all evidence,
surveillance materials and
other files had to be taken
10 miles away.
If you try to find a sil-
ver lining, it was I was in
a better position to make a
proper assessment of staff
and preparedness, Cough-
lin said. The obvious defi-
ciency there was the current
facility.
That frustration began
to pay off within a couple
years, when Coughlin took
a l eadi ng rol e i n pl an-
ning two-thirds of the new
Verona City Center, which
opened in 2008.
In addi t i on t o havi ng
much more room to grow
it still has empty offices
the new building came
with a garage and booking
area, holding cells, state-of-
the-art evidence collection
facilities, an armory and a
training room that now has
smart boards. And Cough-
lin made sure it had a spe-
cial area just for major cas-
es, where several visiting
officers could settle in for a
days work as needed.
That was a huge help in
2009, when Verona police
caught a pair of bank rob-
bers here, and in 2010,
when several departments
and even the FBI helped
Verona catch a burglary
ring that hit five downtown
businesses.
Thats where you could
start to feel the immediate
benefits, Coughlin said.
Lt. Dave Dresser, who
worked part-time for the
depart ment for several
years before becoming full
time in 2001, said Coughlin
has prioritized having the
best tools available.
That has meant lobbying
city leaders to ensure squad
cars dont get too old and
having everyone use the
same type of gun, but it also
means embracing technolo-
gy and new ideas, like radar
speed signs, Tasers, Inter-
net-equipped squad cars
and the now controversial
license plate-recognition
system.
His main focus is just
t o gi ve us good equi p-
ment, good facilities, good
staffing, and I think hes
achieved that, Dresser
said.
Family atmosphere
Coughl i n al so st ri ves
to keep a respectful, pro-
fessional, yet family-type
atmosphere, both within the
department and through its
interactions with the com-
munity.
But he insists the credit
for keeping up with those
goals falls mainly on hav-
ing quality staff, several of
whom have been around at
least as long as he has.
While advances in tech-
nology have improved effi-
ciency, increases in emails,
texts and smartphones, as
well as the sheer volume of
calls up 50 percent since
2008, to more than 12,000
could curtail face-to-face
interactions between offi-
cers and citizens.
On one hand, improve-
ments in mobile data com-
puters have allowed offi-
cers to spend more time in
the field, even while filing
reports. But at the same
time, theyre often busi-
er and have less time for
socializing.
That socializing can have
a big impact, even if its
just a couple of minutes. If
a citizen has had positive
interactions with police,
whether its a child get-
ting a free baseball card for
wearing a bike helmet or an
adult receiving a friendly
wave, that person is more
likely to feel comfortable
approachi ng t he pol i ce
when theres a problem,
Coughlin said.
Its a big part of what
we do, he said. The phi-
losophy is establishing
the necessary relationships
in advance that will allow
you to problem-solve.
This is especially true of
the school resource officer
stationed at Verona Area
High School, which Cough-
lin said is the busiest
officer on the staff. It takes
just the right personality to
do that job, he said, add-
ing that current SRO Aaron
Truscott and former SRO
Ryan Adkins have been
exemplary.
Establishing those rela-
tionships can be particularly
challenging to supervisors
(sergeants and lieutenants),
who have found themselves
saddled with extra adminis-
trative work in recent years.
Coughlin said he often
finds himself stuck in his
offi ce deal i ng wi t h hi s
stacks of paperwork (some
of which are as high as
five feet tall), and since he
doesnt live in Verona, he
finds it necessary to go out
of his way to get to know
people on a more casual
basis.
Never one to draw atten-
tion to himself, Coughlin
is nonetheless a fixture at
the citys Common Council
meetings, simply observ-
ing, as well as at the annual
National Night Out Against
Crime, the Hometown Days
parade and other major
events. He also saves some
of his phone calls for his
commute from his home
in Waukesha County and
always spends his lunch
time out of the office.
One of the commitments
I made from day one, and
I do religiously, is I eat
out every day of the week
(for) lunch, he said. I pur-
posely try to eat at differ-
ent locations so Im at least
seen in public and have
the opportunity to have
conversations with owners
and employees there.
No end in sight
Though t he ci t y has
st eadi l y i ncr eased t he
depar t ment s s t af f i ng
l evel i t s 50 percent
higher than 10 years ago,
at 21 full-time sworn offi-
cers Coughlin has never
seen the department fully
staffed.
Thats because recruit-
ing and training an officer
can often take a full year.
All it takes is one early exit
to muck up the entire plan.
And if there are several
vacancies, as has been the
case this year, the depart-
ment cant even attempt
to fill them all, as train-
ing more than two people
would limit the availability
of other officers.
At the same time, the
need t o process paper -
wo r k h a s e x p a n d e d .
When Coughlin arrived,
the department had one
full-time office person,
Jane Knudsen, who also
handled municipal court.
Now the court has its own
staff and the police depart-
ment has t hree cl eri cal
workers.
Some resi dent s mi ght
quest i on such st af f i ng
increases, but Coughlin
said thats what it takes
for the kind of immediate
response people dont get
in bigger cities.
Its what our residents
expect, he said.
For the most part, he
said, the department has
maintained that level of
service, whether its check-
ing into potentially hurt
wild animals, sending an
officer to look at a bur-
glary or having an officer
stand by to ensure decorum
while an ex moves out of a
house.
The only regular assis-
tance Verona has dropped
over the years, he said, has
been helping people locked
out of vehi cl es (except
under emergency circum-
stances).
More importantly, the
chief takes what he calls a
no-nonsense approach to
crime and disorder. That
goes hand in hand with
the well-known broken
windows theory, which
postulates that even small
cri mes, l eft al one, wi l l
grow into bigger problems.
And in recent years, as
Verona has grown closer
to Madison and vice-versa,
thats become even more
important.
Whi l e t he communi t y
has changed a lot since
Coughlins shocking intro-
duction to Verona, theres
one thing he hopes will
stay the same.
That first day on the job,
before the retirements of
several longtime officers,
before t he Verona Fi re
Department had full-time
firefighters, before Epic
was here, Coughlin went
out to survey the scene.
Before long, fire and EMS
personnel began helping
out while streets super-
i nt endent Greg Denner
pulled up in a truck full
of barricades, all without
being asked.
That made a l ast i ng
impression.
I was surprised by the
amount of positive rela-
tions among departments
in the city, he said. Its
not that way every place.
Coughlin: Chief puts high priority on quality facilities, equipment for police department
Continued from page 1
Photo by Jim Ferolie
Verona police chief Bernie Coughlin has learned to accept that hes stuck behind a desk more often
than hed like to be. But community outreach is still a priority for his department.
His main focus is just to give us good
equipment, good facilities, good staffing,
and I think hes achieved that.

Werner Schorr
Werner P. Schorr, age
84, died on Sunday, July
21.
He was born on March
1, 1929 t o Mor i t z and
Marta (Zbinden) Schorr
in Cambria, Wis., and was
raised with his 2 brothers
and 2 sisters in Madison.
He attended West High,
j oi ned t he army at age
17 serving in post WWII
Korea. After the Army he
attended Madison Busi-
ness College on the GI Bill
where he learned the skills
needed to manage his many
small businesses over the
years including Custom
Fencing, and Straightline
St ri pi ng. He worked at
Clean Tow-
el Service as
a route driv-
e r b e f o r e
j oi ni ng t he
Madison Fire Department.
Over his years with the
Fire Department he rose
to Division Chief. During
his tenure he helped imple-
ment the change from an
all male force to includ-
ing women firefighters. He
retired in 1986.
Hi s hard work set an
exampl e f or hi s f am-
ily, instilling a strong work
ethic and entrepreneurial
spirit (starting when he had
them collecting worms at
night to sell, shoveling and
plowing snow, or holding a
chalk line for striping).
Werner met the love of
his live Joanie Kalten-
berg in 1950 at a wedding
dance in Waunakee. He
enticed her with charm, and
his convertible (which
she later learned was really
his brother Carls). They
married in January 1951
and together they had 6
children and raised their
family in Madison.
Family was most impor-
tant to Werner. He was
always loving, a good pro-
vider, and coach. Always
there to help, counsel and
support (from jumping a
car, fixing something, or
giving advice). Joan and
he felt they were so fortu-
nate to have a close family
who shared and enjoyed so
much together from fam-
ily ski trips, camping trips,
and family dinners.
Spor t s and compet i -
tion were his passion. As
a teenager he began ski
jumping and became the
National Junior Jumping
Champion at age 16. He
was one of the founding
members of Bl ackhawk
Ski Club. His love of ski-
ing he shared with his fam-
ily and years of wonderful
family ski trips followed.
Werner was a fierce com-
petitor even competing in
the Nastar Nationals at age
78 in Steamboat, Colo.,
along with his son Randy,
and grandson Luke. His
competitive spirit contin-
ued even into family soc-
cer and kickball games. He
was passionate about golf,
and enjoyed hunting and
fishing with the grandkids.
He l oved bei ng wi t h
and meeting new people.
He embraced everyone
with his humor and caring
nature.
Werner is survived by
the love of his life, wife
and soulmate of 62 years
Joan, his children Debbi
Bembenek (Curt), Randy
Schorr (Kristie), Wendy
Ragotzkie(Pete) and Doug
Schorr (Jo-Anne OBrien);
grandchildren Travis Bem-
benek (Tamanna), Sara
Bembenek (Johel Saborio),
Whitney Bembenek, Casey
Schorr, Cole Schorr, Aus-
tin Ragotzie (Jackie) , Erin
Ragotzkie, Meghan Schorr
and Luke Schorr. Great
grandchildren Emma, Oli-
ver and Taylor. His broth-
er Carl Schorr, and sister
Rosie McMahan (Francis).
He was pr eceded i n
death by his children Paul
and Rick. His parents Mar-
ta and Moritz. His brother
Al and sister Helen Ritter.
Werner, Dad, Grampa,
great grampa- we love you
always. Well miss your
hugs.

During that study, however
which drew significant neg-
ative feedback and concerns
about moving too quickly
many residents wanted to
know what the overall plan
for the area was before they
weighed in on what type of
roads were needed.
The format for Mondays
meeting gave residents two
hours to have their voices
heard in a different way from
the previous, more typical
public meetings. Several
people surveyed after the
meeting Monday thought the
small groups were a good
way to build consensus and
share different opinions.
Verona attorney Chad
Kemp said the small groups
were informative, whereas
larger group discussions have
a tendency to get heated.
You can bounce ideas
off each other (in the smaller
groups), Kemp said. Then
you can build consensus.
Survey results
The online and paper sur-
vey, conducted July 10-24,
asked a series of open-ended
and specific questions about
current downtown use, its
advantages and challenges
and what future improve-
ments might make the down-
town more accessible and
usable.
The take-home message,
as MSA planners framed it, is
that people see the downtown
as an area that serves as a cen-
ter of the community, with
shops, restaurants and oppor-
tunities for social interaction.
The survey drew 254
responses both online and
through hard-copy surveys.
Nearly 90 percent of respon-
dents were Verona residents
and about 15 percent lived
within the study area. About
45 percent were under the
age of 55.
Not surprisingly, the survey
revealed that current users of
the downtown visit the area to
go to Miller and Sons Super-
market, eat at restaurants and
cafes and do non-grocery
shopping. The biggest con-
cerns raised were that the area
is congested, poorly defined
and lacks enough variety for
visitors. Users liked the con-
venience and friendly service
found there.
Survey respondents offered
some specific suggestions
to improve the area, such
as restructuring and remov-
ing parking, adding pedes-
trian and bike facilities and
improving the streetscaping.
Also high on the list were
bigger-picture items, like
reducing traffic congestion,
improving the areas iden-
tity and aesthetics and adding
more shops and restaurants.
Small groups
Some of those survey
responses were echoed Mon-
day night during the vision-
ing session.
The people who attended
comprised a broad mix of
younger and older, business
owners, longtime and more
recent residents, alders and
chamber members.
The biggest concern noted
by most groups was that the
downtown develop a unified
look and feel. For example,
there shouldnt be a new park
bench and terrace on one side
of the street and a shoddy-
looking building across the
street.
There also was a general
consensus that Veronas
downtown extends three or
four blocks each way from
the Four Corners intersection
of Verona Avenue and
Main Street. Within that
area, residents would like
to see 6-foot sidewalks, a
mixture of hardscape and
green terraces, building set-
backs of at least five feet from
the sidewalk and buildings no
more than two stories tall.
Residents were agreeable
to removing some on-street
parking, as long as off-street
spots were available and
well-marked for businesses
in the area. Everyone seemed
to agree the city should do
whatever it takes to keep
Millers downtown if that
business needs to expand.
As for traffic congestion,
most groups seemed to think
having restricted parking
during peak hours and hav-
ing well-timed traffic lights
would help reduce wait times.
What is downtown?
With some debate, the lim-
its of the downtown core
area were defined as:
Near East or West Har-
riet Street along North Main
Street
At Paoli Street on South
Main Street
At Lincoln Street on East
Verona Avenue
Near Legion Street on
West Verona Avenue
Outside those limits was
considered more of a gate-
way area, particularly along
Verona Avenue.
Residents were more open
to three-story buildings in
these outlying areas. For
example, the proposed three-
story Fairfield Inn and Suites
drew no objections from one
small group discussion West
Verona Avenue.
In general, the groups
wanted to preserve some of
the more historic-looking
spaces and buildings, but
were open to redevelopment
opportunities in other spots.
There were concerns about
opening up too much space
for redevelopment because
it might leave some parts of
the downtown looking more
distressed while other parts
thrive.
Next steps
Residents will have one
more chance to share their
thoughts in a similar format
later this fall.
Planners from MSA intend
to review the survey results,
small-group notes and com-
ments from the meeting to
help form a draft plan for the
downtown area. The results
will be shared with the citys
steering committee, then pre-
sented at a public meeting.
After that, MSA will com-
bine the feedback from those
meetings with what theyve
heard about the traffic study.
Those results will go into a
draft master plan that will be
reviewed by the public in late
fall before being considered
by the Plan Commission and
Common Council later this
year.
Verona Press editor Jim
Ferolie contributed to this
story.

Photos by Jim Ferolie
Residents meet in small groups to discuss their vision for the citys downtown Monday. The small
groups served as a way for planners to hear feedback about different aspects of the downtown, includ-
ing the potential for redevelopment and traffic changes.

Kidney billboard campaign
got local and even national
coverage by CNN. The bill-
board along Highway 41
in November 2011 told the
story of Stephanie Hender-
son, a mother from Kimberly
whose first kidney transplant
started failing in 2004.
Risks associated with kid-
ney donation are similar to
any type of surgery. The risk
of death is about 1 in 4,000,
according to Froedtert and
The Medical College of Wis-
consin, which coordinated
Dvoraks donation. But
donors are not more likely
to develop kidney disease
in the future. In fact, liv-
ing donors have a longer
life expectancy than the
general population because
the evaluation process for
donors selects individuals
with above-average health.
Dvorak, who has com-
pleted marathons and the
Ironman Wisconsin triath-
lon, was a strong donor
candidate tested as low-
risk for kidney disease, she
said. However, she wasnt a
match to donate to Hender-
son.
But Dvorak, 47, was still
compel l ed t o hel p. She
stuck with Henderson and
became Milwaukee-based
Froedtert Hospitals first
donor-donoree pair through
the Living Donor Kidney
Exchange program with the
National Kidney Registry.
In an indirect way, Dvor-
aks commitment to Hen-
derson, who she hadnt met
nor spoken to until the night
before Hendersons trans-
plant surgery, helped Hen-
derson get a new kidney.
Wh e n Dv o r a k wa s
matched with the man in
California, that meant Hen-
derson was bumped up on
the donor list to receive
a kidney from someone
else on the database at the
National Kidney Registry.
Terrys donation was part
of an eight-person chain of
donations across the coun-
try, Henderson said.
Recovery
The two Wisconsinites
keep a special bond post-
surgery and email or text
every other week.
I felt like I gave my kid-
ney to Stephanie, Dvorak
said in reflection. Shes
the person I came forward
for.
Recovery for a donor
usual l y t akes about si x
months to be back to 100
percent, Froedtert staff told
the Verona Press in a phone
interview. Dvorak hired
a trainer, Kevin Terrill of
Rebellion Fitness in Fitch-
burg, to help her get back
in running shape and to
prepare her for the Capital
City 5K. Terrill was part of
Dvoraks 12-member team,
eight of whom were from
Verona.
Terrill, who hadnt met
Dvorak before he began
training, said he found out
quickly that losing a kidney
wasnt going to affect her
attitude.
Somet i mes you r un
across people in life that
have a whatever-it-takes
at t i t ude and ar e never
inconvenienced by things,
he said. She is one of those
people.
For Dvorak, there havent
been too many significant
life changes since the sur-
gery, besides being more
aware of avoiding a car
accident and taking Tylenol
instead of Ibuprofen.
But for Stephanie, almost
everythings changed.
Waiting for a new kidney
since 2004, she had to go
through dialysis that took
up about four-and-a-half
hours per week while still
caring for her son Traven
(whos now 15) and trying
to work full time.
Its a whole new sense
of freedom, she said.
Th a t n e w f r e e d o m
includes one of her favorite
activities swimming for
the first time in nine years.
You dont realize how
sick you were until you
dont feel it anymore, she
said.
For that, she remains
grateful to Dvorak.
What Terry (did) is not
something someone nor-
mally does, Henderson
said. She was helping a
complete stranger.
Dvorak hopes her story
and more awareness about
kidney donation will get
more healthy people to
donate.
If you are a healthy per-
son the way that you can
alter someones life, its
just ... youre transforming
their life to little impact on
your own, she said.
Donor: Group ran the Capital City 5K Run/Walk to raise awareness about tissue donation
