Verona Area School District
Referendum decision goes to deadline

Board likely to meet next week
to finalize terms
SCOTT GIRARD
Unified Newspaper Group
The Verona Area School District school

board planned to approve language for an
April referendum Monday night.
Instead, board members will have to
hold a special meeting next week to get
that done ahead of the Jan. 27 deadline
if they want voters to make a decision on
three potential land purchases this spring.
The board met in closed session ahead of

its normal meeting to discuss amendments
to the purchase agreements reached in September. The district recently got rezoning
approval from the Town of Verona for the
18-acre Herfel property near the southern
side of the district, after the City of Verona
approved a rezone of two properties on the
west side of the city in December.
District officials began working on the
purchases early last year and had initially
hoped for a referendum last November.
When the timing and negotiations did not
allow for that, an April date was the fallback.
Superintendent Dean Gorrell said
Tuesday the changes would not affect the

cost of the referendum or the amount of
land acquired.
There were just some things on the
... Vanta property in particular that just
werent ready, he said. We decided to
wait and hold.
He said the board is slated to meet next
Monday at 6 p.m. with a closed session to
begin the meeting, followed by an open
session to take action on the referendum
question.
Open enrollment
The board also voted to allow 78 open
enrollment spots for the 2015-16 school

year. Thats the first time in four years the
number will go up from the previous year,
as last year the board limited it to 30 spots,
as a large jump in student population was
predicted.
That jump didnt come, though, leaving
some schools more below capacity than
expected and costing the district some
money it had taken in over the years from
the open enrollment boon.
The window for families to apply for
open enrollment into the district begins
Feb. 2 and runs through April 30. The

A few area families rushed to the sledding hill by Badger Ridge Middle School this weekend to make the most of the snow before it
melted. Temperatures in the 40s paired with drizzle made for strange winter weather on Saturday. Above from left, Danny Porter, 9,

Over the past three

years, the Verona Area
School District has steadily increased the money it
has put toward Innovation
Grants.
This year, the boards call
for proposals was absent in
the fall, and superintendent
Dean Gorrell confirmed the
grants will not go out this
year.
But its not because of
the dip in open enrollment
funds or any other cuts.
Instead, the money that
would have gone toward
the grants which totaled
nearly $180,000 last school
year, is being saved up as
the district looks at options
for acquiring technology
devices for every student.
What we felt, as the few
years went by with the innovation grants, many more
of them really became
technology-focused, Gorrell told the Press. Not
only the ones that we funded, but the requests that we
got that we didnt fund.
Five of last years 13
grant winners acquired
iPads, Chromebooks or
software to aid in personalized learning, with more
than $130,000 going toward
those efforts.
The one-to-one technology device focus has become
more prevalent this year

as the district continues its
push toward personalized
learning.
Thats not going to be an
inexpensive venture, Gorrell said. The whole idea
of the innovation grants
was to plant seeds of innovation, and an outcome of
that certainly has been very
beneficial in moving to personalized learning.
How exactly it will reach
that goal remains to be
seen. A new district committee is investigating the
options.
VASD technology coordinator Betty Wottreng told
the school board Monday
night about the Access for
Learning Committee, which
has met twice to begin discussions about the options
for one-to-one.
In November, Wottreng
and other school technology coordinators from
around the district mentioned leasing devices or
using a phased approach to
slowly bring the district to
one-to-one.
Lets think about technology as a utility, she
suggested at that meeting.
The committee has not
yet gotten into specific
potential solutions yet,
Wottreng said, instead
focusing on the reasons
behind the push for the
devices and why it would
be worth the money.
She said a major factor
will be sustaining whatever
decision is made.

Honoring
a legacy
Officers from the Oregon
Police Department and
35 agencies around the
state gathered in Verona
Wednesday, Jan. 16,
to honor OPD Lt. Karey
Clark, who died unexpectedly Jan. 11 at the age
of 38. Clark had been
the second-in-command
at the department since
2011 after beginning his
time in Oregon in 2001.
The Village of McFarland
offered its officers to

too many applicants, VASD
business manager Chris
Murphy said Monday.
He emphasized that the
open enrollment spots are
to fill extra space, rather
than create entirely new
classes.
By no means will we
add extra sections because
of open enrollment students, Murphy said.
The district also gets to
designate one-time open

for their spot in the district.

Verona was among 16

municipalities to participate
in a Dane County forum on
regional partnership earlier
this month.
Council president Ald.
Elizabeth Doyle (Dist.
1) and city administrator
Bill Burns joined 31 other
municipal representatives,
three state elected officials
and other municipal advocates in DeForest to discuss
legislation, state budgets,
transportation and public

The board approved the

final 2015-16 school calendar, which includes an extra
day off in April but shorter
long weekends in October
and February. The change
was made because the historical reasons for the extra
long weekends had been
teacher conferences that are
no longer as relevant, and
to offer a three-day weekend during the long period
between spring break and
the end of the year.
After a presentation
advocating for municipality-friendly legislation, the
group discussion primarily centered on transportation infrastructure and state
laws and budgeting affecting transportation, DeForest public relations representative Carrie Hoffman
told the Verona Press in an
email.
Doyle told the Press
meetings like these have
yielded ideas like the joint
compensation study the
City of Verona participated
in last year, but that this one
was heavily aimed toward
making an impression on
the six representatives of
state government that were
present.
It was interesting
because the state legislators
said they were elected

because Wisconsin residents did not want their taxes increased, but the reality
is something needs to be
done to address rising costs
and decreasing gas tax revenues, Doyle wrote in an
email. Their thoughts were
that it is up to municipal
elected officialsto let their
constituents know this since
were more connected with
the people.
She said the panel also
discussed the strain on
police departments from a
recent piece of legislation
that requires police officers
to transport more people
under emergency mental
health detention as far away
as Oshkosh. That rule went
into effect last April.

The Verona Press
Wineke runs to revive state Democratic Party

MICHAEL LEON
Verona Press correspondent
Veronas Joe Wineke is

on a mission to bring back
the Democratic Party to Wisconsin, an ambitious project
after four years of unfavorable results for a once-dominant political force.
Wineke announced last
week in a letter to Democrats
that he is seeking the chair
position with the Democratic
Party of Wisconsin (DPW),
a position he held in 200509, when Democrats won
majorities in both the state
Assembly and Senate and a
majority of the Wisconsin
delegation of the U.S. House
of Representatives.
If the party loses seats after
his prospective two-year
term, the former legislator of
16 years told the Press, Ill
promise to leave the post
because I would not have
been doing my job.
Wineke noted that hes
been retired since September 2012, after he ran for
Dane County executive in
the midst of a race to regain a
seat he once held in the state
Assembly. He promised to
take Republicans head-on in
both races.
I dont need the money,
he said. Whats driving me
is the direction our state and
our party are careening.
Wineke, a former Verona
alder and 1975 Verona Area
High School graduate, spent

11 years in the private sector
in executive positions for the
statewide Operating Engineers Local
139 and the
Construction LaborManagement
Council after
leaving the
Legislature
in 1998, but Wineke
he remained
a political
animal.
After an unsuccessful
bid for Congress in 1998,
he served as Wisconsins
Administrator of the Division of Compensation and
Labor Relations in the Office
of State Employment Relations in 2009, serving as the
states chief labor negotiator.
Wineke made his second
run for Dane County Executive in 2011, and in 2012 he
was defeated in the redrawn
80th Assembly district primary race.
Political observers say
there are six serious candidates already for the DPW
chair election, which will be
held the weekend of June 5
in Milwaukee. The caucus
election is open to the public
for a convention and party
membership fee.
Small-town man
The former reporter for
the Milwaukee JournalSentinel, Dave Daley, wrote
of Wineke in 1991 that hes
the apple-cheeked legislator
with the grin, a persona that
persists.
In fast-growing Verona,
Wineke is no stranger to residents. Hes still the youthfullooking Joe he was when
he served as Verona alder
while a student at UW-Madison in the 1970s, after he
began work at age 14 at the
Verona Mobil gas station that
still exists downtown.
He told the Press he tries to
get along with people of different beliefs, something he
learned from growing up in a
close-knit community.
The values I learned coming up in a single-parent family without a lot of money
hard work, decency and
being honest are good values for anything you do in
life, whether its politics or
business, Wineke said. I
think most people know that
Im opinionated, and I have
strong views and beliefs, but
also that I am honest.
Even people that disagree
with me politically know
that they can get along with
me because I dont carry this
desire to hate people just
because theyre a Democrat
or Republican.
Winekes old-school
approach to politics gets
plaudits from local politicos.
Ive known Joe since he
was in high school, worked
with him on the City Council, and Joe is a man I can
trust, said Art Cresson, former Verona alder and mayor.
The way it is now, if one
party says, Were for that,
the other party says Were
against it. It was never like
that before, not since I moved

to Verona in 1964.
Wineke speaks with pride
about Verona.
You know you done right
in politics when folks dont
call you Senator, or Chairman, or Assemblyman they
call you Joe, he said.
That means they respect and
know you, though not necessarily are going vote for you.
But it still takes me a lot longer to get through Millers
grocery store than it does
most folks, especially at election time.
Pushing the agenda

Wineke was already voicing his dismay with his partys direction last year.
"I've boiled it down to
three messages: Quit playing
defense all the time. Message
matters. Build from the bottom up. And you can't beat
somebody with nobody,"
said Wineke, noting the
Democratic Party failed to
field a candidate in 30-some
legislative state races in
2014.
Facing the recent domination of Wisconsin government by the Republican
Party and its massive funding
base, Wineke admitted help
from the federal level would
make a difference.
The United States
Supreme Court five years
ago stacked the deck for rich
people and corporations to
play the elections, he said.
But until we can get a better Supreme Court, and if
we can elect a Democratic
president in 2016 which is

one of my top goals, along
with getting back the U.S.
Senate seat in 2016 and
I sure hope Russ Feingold
runs we will get a decent
Supreme Court.
He said while he doesnt
believe in punishing the
wealthy, the poor and working class are having trouble.
We have to push an
opportunity agenda, he said.
Joe and Jane lunch bucket
making $25,000 to $50,000
a year are in trouble right
now, so we do not demonize
public teachers and garbage
haulers either, ever, he said.
Wineke says his intention
is to enhance state and county party websites and social
media, creating a social
media advisory council to
use modern social information technology to get a
coherent daily message out
that politicos call Feeding
the beast, and places where
young people also get their
information.
Always passionate making his case, especially about
appealing to rural Wisconsin, he quoted from memory

the Wisconsin Constitution,
guaranteeing a public education free of discrimination
for Wisconsin children.
Im talking about creating a message that we pound
over and over, Wineke
said. If youre concerned
about the future of your
rural school and in a rural
area the school is the community center, everything
revolves around the rural
school district if you care
about equality for people so
your child is not being discriminated against because
they happen to be black,
gay, Latino or Native-American, vote for the Democrat
because the other side is pandering to prejudice.
We have to be the opposition party with a soul; right
now we seem to be the opposition party thats bitter.

ing it might assume it is a
generalization for all investments, which would make the

statements flat out wrong.
In 2014, there was a large
divergence in performance
across various investment categories. For example, the best
performing broad asset class
was US Investment Real Estate
(MSCI US REIT) which gained
just over 30 percent for the
year and the worst performing
broad asset was commodities
(Bloomberg-UBS Commodity),
which lost 17 percent and was
led down by Crude Oil (WTI
Spot Price), which fell nearly
46 percent.
Even if we make the assumption that market was meant
to imply only more traditional
stock and bond investments,
there was still a large divergence in returns during the
year.
Large Cap U.S. stocks (S&P
500 Index) gained 13.7 percent
during the year while Small
Cap U.S. Stocks (Russell 2000)
gained only 4.9 percent and
Foreign Developed Market
Stocks (MSCI EAFE) declined
4.5 percent.
Bond market returns saw
similar variability the broad
U.S. bond index (Barclays U.S.
Aggregate Bond) showed a
nominal return of 5.9 percent
but that was largely driven by
outside returns in long term
treasuries fueled by the unexpected drop in interest rates.
Returns in other bond sectors
were significantly less and in
some cases negative.
Beyond all of this though,
should we be concerned if
stock prices are setting new
highs?
In a word, no.
You see, index values like
the ones that I referenced are
not generally adjusted for
inflation. The fact that the
Dow (Dow Jones Industrial
Average) is near 18,000 is
not a concern in and of itself
because we would expect that
it would rise over time just as
the price of goods and services
does.
We all either remember or
have heard stories of walking down to the corner market

and buying a candy bar for a
nickel. That same candy bar
today would likely cost over a
dollar. Is it because candy has
become more scarce or suddenly that much more valuable
to us? No, the price increase is
a reflection of inflation.
That same concept can be
applied to stock prices. At the
core, stock prices are a function of what investors are willing to pay for every dollar a
company earns annually.
If over time a companys
earnings increase from $5 million a year to $100 million
a year (the same percentage
increase as the candy bar reference), then everything else
being equal, the price of the
stock should be 20 times higher
as well. Just as inflation can
go on forever, so too can the
price of stocks.
The bottom line is that we all
need to take the headlines with
a grain of salt and remember
that there is no such thing as a
magic investment that will do
well in every market environment.
Over nearly 20 years of
doing this Ive learned that the
keys to long term investment
success are diversification and
patience. Unfortunately, thats
not a headline that is likely to
grab much attention.

Suffering and Redemption

Christians believe that we are saved by Jesus suffering and death on the cross, in essence that he suffered
and died for our sins. We consider Jesus suffering to be
sacred, as it is part and parcel of humanitys redemption.
Jesus showed us that suffering can be sacred. That is not
a cure or remedy for suffering, but a way to at least make
it meaningful. It is sometimes said that human beings can
live without anything except hope. We might also say that
we can suffer anything as long as there is some meaning
or purpose in it. As the philosopher Nietzsche put it, He
who has a why to live for can bear with almost any how.
Nothing is worse than severe and interminable suffering
that has no meaning. That might almost serve as a definition of Hell: severe and endless suffering that has no meaning. Imagine having the realization at the gates of Hell that
we could have had salvation, but instead we chose selfishness, momentary pleasures and sin and now we are going
to pay for it. That bargain, to sell ones soul for momentary
pleasure or selfish gain, will undoubtedly appear meaningless in the grand scheme of things. Infinitely better to delay
gratification and suffer meaningfully now than risk eternal
meaningless suffering in the hereafter.
Christopher Simon via Metro News Service
For it is better, if it is Gods will, to suffer for doing good
than for doing evil. For Christ also suffered once for sins,
the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God.

Q. My child got TOO many gifts from relatives for
Christmas. I dont want to get rid of the gifts but I dont
think my child can appreciate the abundance all at once.
A. Sort through the gifts and put extras aside for a

rainy day. Let your child thoroughly enjoy playing
with some of their new toys and when the novelty begins to wear off they will
be excited to see a new toy reappear from the storage place. Be sure the storage
is out of sight and they will likely forget about the hidden toys.

improving economic growth and positive corporate earnings. So it may be a good time to add quality
stocks, especially if they can help you fill gaps in your investment portfolio.
Next, be prepared for rising interest rates. The Federal Reserve may raise short-term rates this year,
but even before the Fed acts, long-term rates could rise. As a result, bond prices may fall. To respond
to this possibility, consider building a ladder of short-, intermediate- and long-term bonds. Such a
ladder gives you the potential to redeem your maturing short-term bonds and reinvest them in the new,
higher-paying bonds.
While you should make most of your investment decisions based on long-term considerations,
its always a good idea to be attuned to whats happening in the world around you and to respond
appropriately.

If you open a box of toothpicks you will see that they are all

Q. Should my child wear a mouth guard during sports?

A. Absolutely, Yes!
It may seem obvious that soft athletic guards can and do protect the teeth from direct
injury, but guards can protect in other ways as well. Studies have clearly shown
that athletic guards can reduce risk of concussions in contact sports and reduce jaw
fractures. A partial list of sports that participants should wear athletic guards include:
football, soccer, basketball, lacrosse, hockey, rugby, water polo, martial arts, boxing,
Dr. James Sands, DDS mountain biking, wrestling, weight lifting and skate boarding.
Often with a collision, fall, or blow (such as an elbow) to the head or jaw,
the lower jaw can be suddenly thrust against the upper teeth. This action can
cause joint injury, jaw fractures and concussions. This same action can
cause massive teeth fractures that can be protected by the shock absorption of the
mouth guard.

Q.
What happened with local real estate values in 2014 and where are
they going in 2015?
Keith & Kinsey Schulz

Real Estate Team
A. According to the Wisconsin Realtors Association statistics median house

prices in the State of Wisconsin increased from $143,500 to $148,000 which
is a 3% increase. In Dane County things were a slightly stronger with median
prices rising 4% from $211,000 to $220,000. Statewide home values have
increased year over year for 33 of the last 34 months. I think its safe to say
we are well into a housing recovery and approaching the typical slow and
steady value increases that the Madison area has seen historically. Experts
are forecasting another 4% increase in home values for 2015. I would tend to
agree with that prediction, but only time will tell.

Q. Why should I have a humidifier for my home?

A. During the heating season the average American home without a humidifier can have a
relative humidity in the 10-15 percent range. Humidity levels in this range can adversely
affect your comfort, your health, your home furnishings and the cost of heating your home.
Low humidity dries out your respiratory passages and allows viruses to thrive, increasing the
likelihood of getting colds or other respiratory illnesses. In your home it can cause the walls
and ceilings to crack and the trim and wood floors to separate. And the static electricity caused
by dry air can be a problem for all sorts of electronic equipment. When dry air evaporates the
moisture from your skin, it provides an evaporative cooling effect. This can cause you to need a
higher temperature to maintain your comfort level. And you increase your homes energy consumption by approximately 5 percent for every degree you raise the thermostat setting. For more
information or any home comfort questions contact Dave at OK Heating and Air Conditioning.

the 1970s has gotten quite complicated.

There are traditional and Roth flavors to choose from and income caps that
can trip up unsuspecting taxpayers. Knowing your tax bracket is the key to good
planning.
A Roth IRA might be preferable for a taxpayer in the 15% bracket since theres a
good possibility theyll be in a higher bracket when they retire. If thats the case,
a current IRA deduction will cost you more tax dollars, later, than you saved now.
Roth IRA earnings are never taxed, so the risk of higher future tax rates is
removed.
A great feature: you have until April 15, 2015 to make IRA contributions for
2014. A last minute IRA contribution, if youre eligible, can increase your refund
or reduce your tax due. Its nice to have options like that.

to getting him/her to open up. When people feel heard and understood, they are more
likely to share. Consider the physical environment. Deep conversations are difficult to
have in public places. Therefore, you may not want to start a conversation at a party, or
in a noisy restaurant. Show your interest by actively listening, this means focusing your
full attention on your partner and the conversation, getting away from distractions. This
means putting away your phone, iPad or computer. Allow your partner to talk without
interruptions, ask questions, and dont take over the conversation or start talking about
you. Dont make judgments or verbalize your viewpoint. Finally, dont attempt to fix
your partner by telling him/her how to change their situation. You will know you have
been successful in creating a trusting environment when your partner begins initiating
conversations. If you are interested in creating healthy communication skills and habits,

him. A defendants refusal to submit to a breathalyzer test is a statement, which could be used in
court to convince the jury that he did not take a breathalyzer because he had consumed alcohol. As
such, the Supreme Court has ruled that it violates a defendants Fifth Amendment rights for the
State to use his refusal to submit to a breathalyzer against him. Wisconsin drivers, on the other hand,
have no constitutional right to refuse to take a breathalyzer test. State law requires a driver to take
a breathalyzer or other test for intoxication when requested by a police officer. The reason for this
statute is to identify and remove drunk drivers from the public roads in order to prevent accidents.
The consequence for a driver refusing to take a breathalyzer test is that evidence of that refusal may
be used in court against him. The bottom line is that you have a constitutional right to refuse an
intoxication test so long as you are not driving.

Senior Kateri Trilling goes for a steal in the second quarter Friday against
Madison West. She scored six points for the Wildcats in a 53-34 win.
One of the biggest games of the season

is coming up this Saturday, and the Verona Area High School girls basketball
team is riding into first-place Janesville
Craig with a nine-game winning streak.
One of the reasons for the streak is the
defensive play, and Fridays 53-34 win
over Madison West was no exception.
The host Wildcats (11-2 overall, 8-2
Big Eight) jumped out to a 16-1 lead
with the help of four Regent turnovers.
Besides steals that led to fast breaks,
Verona also finished at the rim through
fouls for traditional 3-point plays.
Junior Grace Mueller, who had two
of those plays, finished with 16 points
to lead the Wildcats. She said that the
defense was a big reason why the offense

was so successful.
I thought we moved the ball really well
tonight, and everyone was unselfish,
Mueller said. Our defense helped our
offense. We were aggressive, especially
in the first quarter, with our press.
And even after building a doubledigit lead, Verona didnt let up. West
senior Kyana Johnson scored to start the
third quarter to cut the lead to 28-16, but
3-pointers by senior Kateri Trilling and
junior Cheyenne Trilling and a basket
and two free throws by Mueller put the
Wildcats up 38-16.
Mueller said boxing out and keeping the Regents off the offensive glass
allowed Verona to control the game from

JEREMY JONES

Though the Verona hockey team will

not repeat as Big Eight champions for
the fourth straight year after a slow start
this season, there doesnt appear to be a
hotter team in the conference right now.
Over the past 10 games the Wildcats
(10-7-0 overall, 5-4-0 conference) have
only lost to the top two teams in Wisconsin and third-place rival Janesville
co-op.
They trail Middleton by four games
with five conference games remaining.
Our confidence has been much better with the team since our four-game
slump in early December, Wildcat head
coach Joel Marshall said. Winning
close games and coming from behind to
win is building good character with this
group of guys. We hope the trend continues for a while.

We are really working insideout more and taking care of
the basketball. We just need

I think from the beginning of the season we have

170-pounder, and sophomore Matthew Maier (10-7,
a 113-pounder, all have winning records as well.
Sun Prairie has one ranked
wrestler freshman Drew
Scharenbrock (25-5, No. 12
at 106). The Cardinals also

I think we match up

think it will a very fun night
on Friday.
The Wildcats come into the

Big Eight Showcase with success after taking second overall Saturday at the Chippewa
Falls Invitational at Chippewa
Falls High School.
Verona finished with 157
points, behind Spring Valley/
Elmwood (220 1/2), which is
ranked No. 3 in Division 3.
Eight Wildcats finished in
the top four of their eight-man
brackets, a similar format to
conference, regionals and sectionals, including first places
by Coons, Schmid and Udelhoven.
We were excited about
how we wrestled overall, and
the fact that we took second
overall without a full lineup was truly exciting, Ott
said. Going to an eight-man
bracket tournament gets the
guys mentally ready for what
conference, regionals and sectionals is going to look like.
I think they responded well,
and it gives them an idea of
what we need to accomplish
in the second part of the season.
Udelhoven edged Seth

Schlegel (Spring Valley)
ranked No. 8 in Division 3
5-3 in his first-place match.
He also pinned Kyle Gjerseth
(Osseo-Fairchild/Augusta/
Altoona) in 2 minutes, 24 seconds and Kodi Chase (Edgar)
honorable mention in D3
in 4:26.
Udelhoven has made such
a huge improvement over last
year compared to where he is
now, Ott said. You can tell
the hard work is paying off.
He beat some a couple of really good kids again on his way
to win the tournament. He
has beaten guys that finished
fifth and sixth at Bi-States and
some wrestlers ranked in the
top-10 in Division 1.
He has definitely put a lot
things together and is peaking
at the right time of the year.
Schmid pinned Kyle Zerbian (Chippewa Falls) in
1:24 in his first-place match.
He also pinned Brandon Nitz
(Stanley-Boyd/Thorp) in 33
seconds.
Schmid reached 160 total
wins in his VAHS career and
also had his 100th career pin.
Coons picked up a 4-2 sudden victory in overtime over

Wylie Frahm (Edgar) No.
4 in D3 to take first in his
bracket. Coons also pinned
Justin Renaud (Chippewa
Falls) in 56 seconds and Mike
Roesler (Spring Valley) No.
3 in D3 in 4:22.
Coons picked up his 100th
career victory at the meet.
Daniels finished second
at the meet, falling to Veliko
Kochiu (Edgar) 5-3 in the
finals match. He did pin Hector Zamora (Delavan-Darien)
in 28 seconds and defeated
Casey Hedrington (Chippewa
Falls) 8-5.
Brandon has had an
up-and-down year, but the
120-pound weight class is
definitely one of the tougher
ones in the state this year,
Ott said. He is in a tough
spot, but he is also good
enough to be in that spot. So
he is going to keep working
on getting better everyday,
and hopefully it will pay off at
the end of the year.
Stauffer was third at
heavyweight. He opened
the meet with a pinfall loss
to eventual champion Mike

Fruend (Spring Valley) in
1:32, but he won the next
three matches including a
10-1 major decision over Jake
Howe (Spring Valley) in the
third-place match.
Stauffer also pinned Fidencio Lopez (Stanley Boyd)
in 2:33 and Adam Buege
(Onalaska) in 2:01.
Stauffer has given up
quite a bit of size because he
is wrestling at heavyweight,
Ott said. He has improved
his mat presence because he
is wrestling really smart when
giving up the size. He has
come a long way, and hopefully at the end of the year, it
will show for him too.
Sabbarese and juniors Austin Powers (138) and Ryan
Weiss (145) all took fourth at
the meet.
Sabbarese pinned Quincy
Count on It
NEW Beginning Yoga
Parker (Onalaska) in 54
seconds and Bryce Imhoff
(Edgar) in 2:07. He fell to
Ryan Asher (Spring Valley)
8-3 in the third-place match.
Powers pinned Julian
Moralez (Delavan-Darien) in
3:53 and defeated Cole Lake
(Edgar) 7-1. He fell to Tommy Fischer (Osseo-Fairchild)
8-3 in the third-place match.
Weiss pinned Trevor Fischer (Osseo-Fairchild) in 1:29
and defeated Cade Littleton
(Edgar) 14-7. He was pinned
in 3:50 in the third-place
match to Jacob Runge (Chippewa Falls).
Maier won his fifth-place
match in a 15-2 major decision over Ismael Caello
(Delavan-Darien). Freshman
Jono Herbst (106), junior
Peter Janssen (182) and junior
Egill Hegge (132) all took
sixth.

That new equipment will

safe, practice opportunities for the gyms students,

Orkowski said.
In addition to the new
equipment, the extra room
on the side and in the back
of the gym allow for more
activities to take place at
once, rather than trying to
squeeze gymnasts and tumblers into the same space.

in Verona, said the last

Growing the business

Gymfinity opened in
1999 when Orkowski connected with someone who
had kids in gymnastics
through a mutual friend.
The now-former business
partner wanted to open his
own gym so his kids could
get better instruction in the
sport.
Orkowski offered to
bring his gymnastics skills
and teaching experience

By 2005, the mans children had graduated, so
Orkowski bought him out.
He and his wife, Stephanie,
who is a co-owner and business director of the gym,
then purchased the land
Gymfinity now sits on.
As it became more popular, and its teams found
success, Orkowski said the
space was limiting their
trampoline and tumbling
team to eight members and
they had to turn away birthday party requests regularly.
It was so constricted
that we were losing kids
because we didnt have
room to grow it, he said.
It wasnt that it was stagnant, its that it was going
backwards.
There may be another
expansion in the future,
Orkowski said, but he is glad
to have this one out of the
way to see what the gym can
do with its new space.
Orkowski said in the 15

years since Gymfinity first
opened, hes now seen kids
he once taught return with
children of their own.
It really is quite an honor, he said.
Seeing those people
return and hearing about
how their time at his gym
affected them is the biggest reward of putting in the
time he has to run the gym,
he said.
Thats what this whole
thing is about, Orkowski
said. Theres a certain value in being allowed to work
with children and being
able to work with them for
so long.
Orkowski, 49, began
teaching gymnastics all the
way back in high school,
when the boys gymnastics team was discontinued
at his school and he got
involved helping the girls
team.
Twenty-five years after
those high school days, hes
glad to still be encouraging
physical activity at a time
when his own children will
sometimes visit the gym
and sit and play on iPads
while also instilling some
long-term life skills.
It makes them happy
to exercise, it makes them
happy to move, he said.
Theres skills and theres
the physical part, but
theres (also) all this stuff
about learning how to apply
yourself.

As Gymfinity was gaining national recognition for

its trampoline and tumbling
teams, it was losing participants due to space limitations.
Founder and director Jason Orkowski said
hed known an expansion
was going to be necessary at some point. But
when U.S.A. Gymnastics announced last April
the gym was selected as a
national trampoline development center, of which
there are only eight in the
country, he knew it was
time.
We were chosen for
that and its like, We gotta
go. We have to expand,
Orkowski said.
Final touches on the
expansion that began in
August are wrapping up as
January comes to a close,
but Orkowski said hes
already seeing the results of
whats been done so far.
The expansion will allow
the gym to offer more birthday parties with a second
party room, something
Orkowski stressed was
great as they had been turning families away. It also
brought in a pair of new
trampolines that are competition size and so bouncy
that Orkowski himself even
struggles with them, he
