Fire, Brown extend council split

Alders continue to disagree on development, hiring fairness
Jim Ferolie
Verona Press editor

Nearly four hours of debate didnt get the Common Council very far Monday night. The majority of that time was spent on two subjects that once again divided the group across what could almost be described as party lines. Those would be the potential annexation and

development of a farm along the Ice Age Trail and the hiring process for the yet-to-be-born city fire department. In each case, the council heard detailed presentations and extensive public comment on both sides and ended with no tangible progress.

The more pressing issue, the fire department, continued a rift from the previous weeks Committee of the Whole meeting, in which some alders openly attempted to subvert the statutory hiring process. Monday, however, the council opted to delay it. The discussion of developing

the Brown farm on the southeast side of town, meanwhile, has been going for about eight years and wasnt scheduled for an official vote. Rather, its appearance at the council, a week after getting a mixed reaction from the

After 34 years of tutoring swimmers, the Verona Aquatic Club has decided it can no longer stay afloat. The VACs governing board voted unanimously Aug. 7 to pursue dissolution and cease operations as a result of lack of adequate pool space. Its a move VAC treasurer Deb Nickels said the group had seen coming for years. Its not even adequate (pool space); its also appropriate, Nickels said. We were swimming late at MATC East, and some of those kids werent getting home until 9:30 or 10 p.m. and they still had homework to do. As a result, the club lost a chunk of its senior swimmers. Because of the organizations dwindling membership, Nickels said, this decision made the most sense. At the same time, its veteran coach, Randy Trowbridge, will be moving out of state, making the decision that much easier. I think our families must have seen it coming because I have received no messages

school students a jumpstart on the 2013-14 school year. The Learn Academy, led by four VASD teachers, kicked off last week in Fitchburg. Ninety-minute classes are held Tuesday through Thursday from 5-6:30 p.m. at the leasing office of the Nakoma Heights apartment complex on Chalet Gardens Road. Twenty kids in grades 3-5 10 each from Stoner Prairie and Glacier Edge elementary schools were selected for the program because, in past years, they had struggled with the summer slide, a term educators use to define the academic ground kids can lose during the threemonth vacation. The goal is to get them into the swing of things before they actually start school this year, said Amy Klubertanz, a second grade teacher in Glacier Edges bilingual program. The program started last week with about 14 adult volunteers who met with the students to talk about their jobs. The kids met organic farmers, zookeepers, pizza makers and players on the Madison 56ers soccer squad, among others. The next step is for the students to research a question, career or other topic that sparked their interest during the presentations, Klubertanz said. The students will create presentations they will share with their parents on the programs final day, Aug. 22. The program is being funded through a $6,050 innovation grant awarded

Five Bugles gets call to design new fire station

Mark Ignatowski
Unified Newspaper Group

Experience trumped familiarity in the decision to hire a firm to design the citys new fire station. The citys ad hoc committee interviewed two firms for the job last Thursday Bray Architects and Five Bugles Design and came out recommending Five Bugles. The Common Council unanimously approved that recommendation Monday. The decision does not obligate the city to any particular amount, despite the nearly $350,000 estimate for the companys services. The station is expected to cost $8 million to $10 million. Bray had worked with many members of the committee to develop Verona City Center in 2007-08, including a police station, and it sketched initial designs for a fire station during that process, which included brief consideration of designing one larger building that would accommodate the fire department, as well. But Five Bugles members touted their experience of designing dozens of fire stations in the Midwest as the reason they would be the best fit for the city.

fire chief of 23 years, and he served 36 years in the emergency services field. Committee members liked his ability to articulate what firefighters need for their department and work with the committee and design team to meet those needs. Giver said he and his staff were comfortable working with Five Bugles when the group did a station location analysis for the department last year. In addition, many of the stations that city staff and committee members had toured in recent months were built in part by Five Bugles. No one comes close to them with their experience with fire stations, Giver said. Me and my staff are extremely comfortable with them.

First steps

Experience, specialization

Only five of the 12 members of the group Ald. Mac McGilvray, Mayor Jon Hochkammer, fire chief Joe Giver, Police and Fire Commission president Delora Newton and Fitch-Rona EMS chief Brian Myrland were present for the interviews. The group discussed the proposals after two hourlong presentations and decided that Eau Clairebased Five Bugles would deliver the best station based on their experience and team of experts. Hochkammer said at the meeting he was impressed by Brays presentation, but he felt Five Bugles was a better fit for this job. I thought Bray did a really good job on the presentation, Hochkammer told the committee. But my gut tells me that I think that Five Bugles can do a better job. We want whats best for the city, long term. Committee members agreed, saying Five Bugles in-house emergency services specialist, Ed Mischefske, helped edge out the competition. Mischfeske is a former

Five Bugles provided an initial cost of about $348,000 for the engineering and design services of the first phase the design project, according to numbers provided by city administrator Bill Burns. Bray was slightly higher at $385,000. The two companies were selected for presentations out of six that submitted proposals. The first phase will be to conduct a final space needs analysis and site analysis, which will include reviewing previous studies and making sure the location has enough room for the new station and any future additions. Five Bugles proposal said the group will look at response data, current and future land use plans and population projections. It plans also to incorporate conversations with firefighters and city staff into discussions with the steering committee to develop bubble diagrams of where different parts of the fire, EMS and shared areas need to be inside the

new station. From there, the group will develop some 3-D schematics for the steering committee, council and public to review. The first phase is scheduled to be completed by November, which would give the council a good idea of what it needs to budget for the new station. Both Bray and Five Bugles estimated the cost per square foot of the new station to be between $200 and $250. A previous space needs analysis put the departments needs at nearly 40,000 square feet. On the low end, a new station would run about $8 million. It could be up to $10 million based on these estimates. After the first phase, the city would need to work with a firm to begin making construction documents over the winter. The project would be bid in the spring and construction would start in the summer. The project would be done by April 2015. Before beginning the planning process in earnest, the city will likely to have a discussion about hiring a construction manager to oversee the design and building process. Ald. McGilvray said a plan for overseeing the project was important to have in place. The city used public works director Ron Reider as the construction manager while building the City Center, but likely wont devote staff resources to the fire station project, members said at the ad hoc meeting. The council has heard several different methods of construction management, but has yet to decide on which one they prefer to use for this project. A date for that meeting hasnt been set, but representatives from Five Bugles recommended having a construction manager on board as soon as possible.

Energy upgrades good for VASD

My hat goes off to superintendent Dean Gorrell and the Verona Area Board of Education for investing $4.4 million in improving energy efficiency in the district. I teach at Verona Area High School, and I was in doing some work this summer when a custodian showed me the new LED lights theyre installing. Then Dr. Gorrell informed me the district is also upgrading HVAC systems, improving building envelopes, and installing a high R-value roof on Badger Ridge Middle School. This is fantastic! I appreciate it as a taxpayer because I know it will pay for itself in a few years. And I appreciate it as a teacher and a father because I know it will lower greenhouse gas emissions and help ensure a livable climate for future generations. Steve Lewis City of Fitchburg

4-H has led the way to important life skills I

doesnt have to look far to find generations and generations of 4-H families. 4-H aims to reach even more kids and provide as many of them as possible with the tools and resources to guide them into adulthood with confidence, communication skills and leadership skills. It is truly a life-long learning program. I got involved at a young age with the Paoli 4-H Fireballs. And through 4-H, I not only met lifelong friends, but I learned countless life skills, such as public speaking. I didnt wake up one day and just start speaking in front of crowds. It took practice and encouragement from leaders. When I was a young 4-H member, I never imagined that I would ever stand in front of our 4-H club and lead a meeting. But as I grew and developed through 4-H, I began to talk more at meetings, eventually I held every officer position, and now I speak in front of audiences of all sizes. My start with 4-H also opened many other doors for me. In 2011 I served as the Dane County Fairest of the Fair, speaking in venues across the state. Additionally, I have secured summer internships and numerous speaking positions across the Iowa State campus. Thats just one example of many ways in which the experience prepares kids not to just raise animals and sew dresses, but how to get along with all types of people, to keep good records, to compromise and to get involved in your community.

Verona Press

And as I mentioned, leadership is an invaluable skill whether youre in 4-H or not! Leadership skills are easily developed through working with others, leading meetings and making projects. Thats what I have done. I spent many years as a 4-Her myself and am now a club leader to help other 4-H members grow and learn themselves. I am so thankful to have had the leaders I did when growing up in 4-H. Because of this experience in my life, it was an easy decision for me to come back as a leader. I want to help as many kids as possible have the experiences that I have had through 4-H. 4-H Youth Development program adviser Jackie Gehin said something the other day that really stuck with me. She said 4-H is not about the blue ribbons, its about raising blue-ribbon youth. And thats exactly what 4-H is about. It doesnt matter if you get a white ribbon on your photography. It doesnt matter if after all kinds of practice you still get nervous talking in front of your club. And it doesnt matter if record books are still the hardest part of your 4-H year. What matters is the youth from Dane County 4-H program grow to be blue-ribbon adults. Macy Sarbacker is a 2011 Verona Area High School graduate who is studying at Iowa State University.

Annual meeting is Monday

The Verona Area School District will host its annual meeting and budget hearing Monday at 6 p.m. at the districts central office, 700 N. Main St. Other than school administrators, few people usually attend. But for anyone interested, the roughly 90-minute meeting offers a chance to learn more about the district or ask questions. The meeting kicks off with a state-mandated budget hearing, when business manager Chris Murphy will go through his projections for the 2013-14 budget. Though still preliminary, the projected $60.7 million operating budget calls for a $33.5 million tax levy, a 3 percent decrease from a year ago. That decrease is expected to push property tax rates to $12.39 per $1,000 of equalized value, or 3 percent lower than the $12.78 mill rate last year. After the budget hearing, administrators typically give an overview of the district and walk the audience through students scores last year on the Wisconsin Knowledge and Concepts Exam, the standardized test that students in grades 3-8 and 10 take each fall. Superintendent Dean Gorrell said he and director of instruction Donna Behn will also likely talk about new standardized tests coming in 2014-15 and the districts website that houses student performance data. At the end of the meeting, the audience, including

board members, will vote on three items: the proposed tax levy, new school board salaries and the sale of district equipment. The latter vote is basically a procedural OK for the district to sell property or equipment, such as pickup trucks. As for the board raises, Gorrell has recommended a roughly 2 percent raise for board members or about what staff received this year. The increase would boost annual board salaries to about $3,700-$3,900 for officers and $3,350 for non-officers. The boards regular meeting will follow the annual meeting. For more information, call the district office at 845-4300. Seth Jovaag

The work of more than 100 Wisconsin artists including four from Verona will be showcased in the fifth annual Fitchburg Agora Art Fair Saturday. The juried fair is set amid the impressive architecture of the Agora complex and the natural prairie landscape of southern Wisconsin. It will feature local and regional artists from every medium: painting, ceramics, jewelry, photography, glass, metals, woodwork, mixed media, fiber and sculpture. There will be plenty of other activities, including live music on two stages, a Capital Brewery beer and wine garden, a childrens art yard, local food and beverages, retailer specials and a flower show. Verona woodworker Lane Bacon is making his first appearance at the Agora Fair Saturday. He makes what he calls functional wood items baskets, boxes, trays, cutting boards and a wide variety of things you can use around the home and sells them from his home in Verona or at art fairs throughout the state. Ive been doing this about 30 years, Bacon said. It started out as a hobby and after I retired 13 years ago (from an engineering career) it became a full-time business.

Bacon said he typically does not enter craft shows but tries to stick with doing the juried art shows. Jewelry maker Cindy Koshalek of Verona is also showing her work for the first time at the Agora Fair. She makes hand-forged and hand-hammered jewelry earrings, necklaces and bracelets that are set in sterling silver or occasionally in copper. She began working as a metalsmith some 20 years ago.

Although Saturday will be her first time at Agora, Ive done lots of arts and crafts fairs, she said. Ive experimented with a few things, so Ive always sold jewelry but Ive also sold paintings and Im going to start doing ceramics, too. That said, Koshalek admits her first love is making jewelry. She has sold her work to people from around the world. I have a customer from Russia and one from Japan, she said. I also have a customer from England that comes back fairly often. Along with the art, fair organizers have lined up live music for the entire day. The Capital Brewery Beer Garden will be set up next to the Capital Stage. The event is free and open to the public, and will take place rain or shine.

Tree-cutting accident injures man

A 25-year-old Madison man was injured in a treecutting incident on the 1400 block of Fritz Road last week. Dane County Sheriffs deputies and UW Med Flight responded to a call around 12:35 p.m. Monday, July 29, in the Town of Montrose. According to a news release from the Dane County Sheriffs Office, the man was working for a tree cutting crew when a large section of the tree they were working on fell, trapping him underneath. The crew was able to free the man by cutting sections of the tree away from him. He was then taken by Med Flight to UW Hospital with serious, but non-life threatening injuries. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) was notified, the release noted.

Pope Francis
In his first official meeting with journalists, the new pope gave some insight into why he chose the name Francis. After the twothirds vote was reached, a fellow cardinal from Brazil, Claudio Hummes, embraced him and said to him Dont forget about the poor. This stuck with him, he said, and immediately made him think of St. Francis, who was devoted to the poor, renouncing his fathers considerable wealth as a young man and living essentially as a poor beggar. St. Francis was known as Il Poverello, the little poor man. Pope Francis went on to say that as the votecounting continued he thought about war, and St. Franciss devotion to peace. The first line of the prayer of St. Francis says Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace. And finally, St. Francis was enamored of nature and saw Gods hand in all of physical creation. Pope Francis summarized his choice of names by saying Francis of Assisithe man of poverty, the man of peace, the man who loves and guards creation. This was a good choice of names, and inspiring ideals for the man leading the worlds largest Christian denomination. Christopher Simon via Metro News Service Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed. Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked. Psalm 82: 3-4

VAC: Commute to MATC East pool contributed to swimmers numbers dwindling recently
Continued from page 1 from anyone saying, No, you cant do this. Rather, Nickels said, everyone has been sympathetic. This decision left the board extremely heavyhearted, she said. We tried to think of other options. Should we federate with another club? But if we were to federate we wouldnt even bring much pool time. We wish him the best, but we knew there would be a mass exodus from the team when Randy left, Nickels said. Were not a team without a home pool. We cant do this anymore. Trowbridge was more than a coach, becoming an extended member of several families. One such family was the Kuhns, who had two daughters in the program. The girls looked up to Randy as a second father, mother Sheila Kuhn said. I just cant say enough good things about him. He supported our whole family, even helping me through my divorce. Nickels said she knew of five VAC swimmers who would be transferring to another local USA swimming teams such as the McFarland Sharks, Waunakee Wave, Badger Aquatic Club, YMCA and Stoughton STARS. In most of those other facilities, if not all, those teams are doing the bulk of their training in their community pools, Trowbridge said. Their pools arent any larger than ours, and they do it along with having high school teams. Thats because, Trowbridge said, in Verona, the VAC was simply prioritized out in order to shift the Natatorium toward becoming a multiple-use facility in correlation with the community education program. As it was explained to me in the beginning, we really want to take care of the community so that the tax base would be less likely to complain about doing things for the school district, Trowbridge said. Though the Verona Area School District school board had essentially told the pool director and community ed program that the VAC had to be allowed to keep some time on the schedule, it was only enough to keep the novice swimmers in Verona. Bishop OConnor Center, Nickels said. After that, it was a fight just to survive. Since then, the club board and coach Trowbridge scrambled to piece together pool time, with the older kids mostly swimming at MATC East in the fall and winter. It was an unpopular move with families, to say the least. Its a long ways away and its very expensive to rent, Nickels said. We had people that were quitting when wed move their kids up to the next group and they had to swim out at MATC. support an aquatic center, Nickels said. Maybe Verona Aquatic Club can resurrect someday, but right now, our membership is so small, we are not a force to be reckoned with at all in terms of building a pool. We dont have the resources. Trowbridge was a little more apprehensive. Whether Verona could support an aquatic center or not, I dont know, he said. Given the right kind of facility, it would be viable. I believe. The city has helped finance projects like those before when supporters presented comprehensive plans to cover their costs. However, Trowbridge noted there are many factors involved in any such undertaking, including who controls operations and how conflicts between different interests, like the city and school district, are handled. Those kinds of things come into play when youre trying to figure out how to manage a facility, he said.

Quality coaching

Dwindling numbers

The club, which coaches swimmers as young as 5 to seniors in high school, had about 20 kids this summer compared to somewhere between 45-50 last winter. It eventually reached a point where VAC could no longer grow its team, Nickels said, This year in particular, the writing was on the wall. With the group struggling, the pool director at the Verona Natatorium informed members of the VAC of a new WIAA rule that would allow high school teams to practice until 6 p.m. this fall and winter. It just got to the point where we could not run our first two levels completely in that space, Nickels said. Wed be overcrowded. The final blow was when Trowbridge decided to return to the club he started in his hometown of Olympia, Wash. back in 1983. Trowbridge had been head coach of the VAC for 27 of its 34 years.

No home

The Verona Natatorium, located next to the high school, is a community pool and was at one point were the VAC operated its program completely. For a number of years now, though, Nickels said her group had to move elsewhere to make room for other groups. VAC members traveled to the Bishop OConnor Center in West Madison for several years, and the bulk of the team swam there, particularly the more advanced swimmers. Even then, the high school swim seasons in the fall and winter were difficult because the younger groups normally only had two or three lanes for 45 minutes to 1 hours, Nickels said. Almost two years ago, the Bishop OConnor Center permanently closed its pool. Weve been struggling for a lot of years, but the severe blow was losing the

A new home

While there has been talk off and on over the years about building a new aquatic center in Verona and even Fitchburg, none have gotten very far off the ground. The closest came in 1993, when the VAC lined up a donor to construct a 50-meter pool in Fitchburg. That project, however, ended up falling through when the major donor pulled out. Later, there was talk about putting a pool near the Eagles Nest Ice Arena prior to the construction of the baseball complex at Ceniti Park in 2006. I know the six-lane pool here is insufficient for the size of community we have now, Trowbridge said. Sentiments about whether the community could support an aquatic center, as one would expect, vary greatly. Verona is so sports-minded, that I do think it could

To pay for the cost of renting pool time at MATC, the VAC had nearly priced itself out of the market. The groups calling card, however, continued to be its quality coaching. Even that wasnt enough in the end, though, as the club had to charge more in fees and ask families to help raise funds just to make ends meet. Years ago, swim teams like the VAC were charged lower rates because they were regular renters. But the economic downturn in recent years left teams across the country to a similar fate as that of the VAC, as school district pools look to increase their revenues. I think it hurts the community (not having a club here), Trowbridge said. Verona considers itself Hometown USA. Thats where you would hope there would be at least enough resources to let the kids swim in their own hometown.

Treves wins Wildcat Tennis fundraiser title

It was an emotional exchange as each Verona Home Talent member gave manager Dale Burgenske a card and a hug following his induction into the Hall of Fame at Stampfl Field. It was tremendous, Dale Burgenske said. This is quite a team here. You look out at every position, and you have younger Verona players, middle-aged Verona players and elderly Verona players. They all

know how to play the game. These guys here have made me look awful good the last 10 years. Burgenskes sons, David and Derek, also play on the team. The ceremony took place before Sundays Western Section semifinal against Wiota, which was something special for Derek Burgenske to be a part of before hitting the field. It is very special. I couldnt be more proud to call him dad, Derek Burgenske said. It has been a very special ride, and

you couldnt ask for a better guy to be manager of this team. And the honor also puts Dale Burgenske into a group of players that started it all for the Verona Home Talent team. Burgenske joins Keith Simmons, Jack Butts and Lionel Stampfl, whom he played for and with at the start of his career with Home Talent. I am honored to be in the hall with my father-in-law, Keith, and Jack Butts and Lionel Stampfl. I played with those guys for 20 years, and that is a

good group on the wall, too, Dale Burgenske said. That brought a lot of hits and a lot of victories over the 22 years that I played. Burgenske has managed the Cavaliers for 16 years and has led the team to more than 200 wins in the past few years, which includes four Sunday League titles and two Night League titles. Verona is going for its fifth Sunday title in six years this season.

Mens singles player Isaac Treves defeated Allesandro Puglielli 6-1, 6-2 in the championship match of the Verona Wildcat Tennis summer Fundraiser, Aug. 8-11. Clarissa Steele defeated Meredith Conley in the womens singles championship match, 8-1. The womens doubles team of sisters Morgan and Marissa Wilson defeated Abby Weber and Baylie Gold 4-6, 6-3, 8-1 Mens doubles winner Elliot Schad and Alan Bauer defeated Stephanie Keryluk and Edwin Ellis 6-0, 6-0 in the championship match.

Cavaliers power past Wiota

Anthony Iozzo
Assistant sports editor

Power was on the side of the Verona Home Talent team Sunday in a playoff against Wiota at Stampfl Field. Shortstop Justin Scanlon (3-for-5, a home run, a double, four runs scored and three RBIs) and center fielder Derek Burgenske (3-for-4, a home run, two doubles, two runs scored and five RBIs) both blasted balls over the fence to lead the offense in a 12-10 win. It felt good to get out here and swing the bat well, Scanlon said. The whole team did. We had 12 hits. ... It is fun when your offense is clicking like that. Verona was without four regulars during the game but still

managed to get enough offense and enough pitching to hold off Wiota which came in as the second-best hitting club to Verona, according to manager Dale Burgenske. And that showed with Verona needing to come back early on from a 4-1 deficit and having to hold on to a lead late in the game. I expected Wiota to get some hits today, Dale Burgenske said. They werent going to go away quietly. But the offense answered the challenge, and the pitching and defense did just enough to preserve the win. We got down early, but this team is not going to quit, Scanlon said. In the bottom of the second,

the second baseman Klayton Brandt reached on an error by the shortstop and reached second on a groundout. Scanlon, with two outs, started the comeback with an RBI single to left to score Brandt, and he reached second on an error by the left fielder. Outfielder Zach Spencer followed with an RBI single to center, and center fielder Derek Burgenske tied the game with a double into the left-center field gap. First baseman Matt Peetz and catcher Derek Murphy each continued Veronas hit streak with a pair of doubles to left-center to Photo by Anthony Iozzo make it 6-4 Verona.

Cavaliers: Argyle is next

Continued from page 9 a big blow to Wiota with a 3-run home run off a 2-0 fastball in the seventh that sailed over the right-center field fence to make it 12-5. We are a confident team offensively, Derek Burgenske said. We know it will probably take nine or 10 runs to beat us just because our sticks one through nine are a tough out. We knew that the first team to 10 would win. But that wasnt the end of the game by any means. Wiota trailed by six before an RBI single by Nick Flannery and a bases-loaded clearing double by Merrill Brunson to make the score 12-10. But reliever Danny Koss was able to induce a grounder to first to end the inning and the game. Scanlon homered in the bottom of the third to make it 8-4, and Derek Burgenske added an RBI double in the first inning. AJ Stoffels doubled in Peetz in the fourth. Ben Wallace was the starter and winner. He went six innings and allowed three earned runs on seven hits. He struck out four and walked three. Spencer came in to relieve Wallace in the seventh and went two innings. He allowed one earned run on two hits. He walked three and struck out one. Koss finished the game and allowed three earned runs on four hits. Wallace was held to 100 pitches to keep him fresh for the Western Section final 1 p.m. Sunday against Argyle at Stampfl Field. The winner moves on to the HTL Final Four, but Dale Burgenske doesnt perceive the Cavaliers letting the pressure get to them. Everyone puts pressure on us because we are the No. 1 seed, but we have been there before, Dale Burgenske said. They are experienced, and they were all comfortable today.

Night League

Verona fell 6-5 in 10 innings to Middleton Thursday in the Night League playoffs. Three errors in the 10th led to the winning run for Middleton. Koss tied the game in the seventh with an RBI single, and Stoffels (2-for4) added an RBI single in the fourth. Peetz (2-for-4) started the offense with a 2-run double. Derek Burgenske and Zach Spencer also had two hits for Verona. Spencer picked up the loss. He struck out two. Cole Kroncke started and went nine innings. He allowed four earned runs on 12 hits. He struck out five and walked two. Verona is eliminated from Night League.

Council: Passes sharing costs for intersection resurfacing

Continued from page 1 an official vote. Rather, its appearance at the council, a week after getting a mixed reaction from the Plan Commission, was to gauge whether it has support. The concept did get strong supporters, both among alders and the audience, but had more detractors.

Fire fighting

Verona Area School District

UN302976

The fire department vote was a delicate issue that assuredly will be back again at the next meeting, Aug. 26. It technically involves the process for bringing every Verona Fire District firefighter, including paid-oncall and paid-on-premises staffers, onto the city payrolls when the new department is created Jan. 1. But it clearly was about the five full-time staffers, three of whom have been with the department for many years. On one side of the issue is fire chief Joe Giver and the Police and Fire Commission, who insist the new chief be given the tools to start his department from scratch through an open hiring process, bringing in only those firefighters whom he selects. On the other side are the union representatives, the full-time group whose jobs are at stake, and at least three of the alders who have joined the council since April. The switch to a city department is an unusual situation one that League of Wisconsin Municipalities executive director Dan Thompson told the Press last week he couldnt recall hearing of in 38 years in the business. So even though statutes clearly define the authority of the PFC and the chief in the matter, the city has tools to sway the outcome through its budgetary control. That was on full display Monday night as the council took up a unanimous Finance committee vote to authorize just over $4,000 in recruitment costs, including $325 in advertising, and decided to delay it until after the PFC officially votes on the open hiring process. State statutes clearly say that the chief has the sole discretion for hiring (or promoting) employees from a list of eligible candidates provided by the PFC. And there was apparently universal agreement Monday with the PFCs plan to conduct psychological and medical evaluations and background checks before making any full-timers city employees, as well as a more streamlined requirement for POC and POP employees. At least three alders, including Mike Bare (Dist. 4), who was not present Monday but spoke on the subject last week, objected to authorizing the recruiting costs, which would not necessarily stop the open hiring process, but could limit the pool of applicants. Loyalty goes both ways, said Ald. Luke Diaz (D-3). Its the wrong thing to do, Ald. Liz Doyle (D-1),

The council voted unanimously, without a single word of discussion, to spend up to $90,000 for a one-fourth share of resurfacing the intersection of County Highways M and PB and transferring jurisdiction into the city of two small areas of roadway nearby. Both new city roadways are adjacent to city limits PB next to the Verona Technology Park and M between Factory Drive and Prairie Heights Drive. The agreement to transfer the section of PB involved a joint project by the county and state to install stoplights at no cost to the city, and the switch on M came with a $200,000 one-time payment for future maintenance, which will likely involve resurfacing within about 10 years. The jurisdictional transfer means the city takes responsibility for both policing and road maintenance. At a public works meeting last month, alders one of three members of Finance who passed the funding along to the council, made the motion to delay the vote until the PFC takes an official stand on the process. I havent seen evidence that we shouldnt support our full-time staff, she said.

discussed the possibility of making the chunk of M easier for bicyclists to cross, even tossing out the admittedly unrealistic option of an underpass. More likely, the city will look into extending nearby trails and painting a crossing on the road. The transfer also will likely include a drop in the speed limit, which is currently 45 mph.

Council: Down with Brown

Tony Heinrichs has spent more than eight years bouncing from the city to the town and back in an attempt to put a highend subdivision along the Ice Age Trail on the southeast side of the city. Hell apparently have to keep waiting. A week after the Plan Commission was split in its response to the latest evolution of his concept increased over the years to 245 acres and including a corridor for the Ice Age Trail alders unofficially stated mostly opposition. Those in favor cited an increase in the eventual tax base of around $50 million or enough to fund all the citys projected increases to the fire department for the next few years while those against expressed discomfort with setting precedents, the sensitivity of the area to both environmental and traffic issues and the possibility of the county outright buying the land for park area. Heinrichs experts, including former county health director Jim Clark, again gave positive reviews of the environmental impact that would come from turning the erosion-prone cropland into more sturdy and thirsty prairie grass and other concerns raised by the 10 people (mostly neighbors) who spoke against it. But more alders than

New office building

Liberty Park bids

The city accepted a bid of $1.07 million for the construction of Liberty Drive and the installation of utility lines underneath it. Though the project is essentially run by the Liberty Business Park developer, it involves the use of tax-increment financing and therefore was required to be publicly bid. Aside from enabling commercial development within the park which Mayor Jon Hochkammer said at a public works meeting earlier in the evening had been getting more and more interest the project also allows the city to create a water line loop to the SAFC-Pharma plant in the Verona Technology Park, which city engineer Bob Gundlach

The council approved unanimously, with no comment, a change to a group development permit, allowing for a new office building next to Grays Tied House. The site plan for the building, which had originally been planned for a bank with a drive-through, got the Plan Commissions approval a week earlier but needed council approval to change the type of building.

Wellhead protection

The council also passed a complex wellhead protection ordinance that essentially puts city code in line with state laws. The regulations prevent certain types of land use within certain distances from the citys five existing wells, or future wells, in order to prevent contaminants from getting into the water. Minimum distances range from 10 feet apart from an emergency or power standby system to 1,200 feet from a solid waste storage or processing facility.

If youre going to just try to find a way around it, come out and say it.

Purge or diligence?

Whispers of personnel and discipline problems within the fire department have spread for years and under at least four commanding officers, though rarely have any been publicly substantiated or acknowledged. Monday, Ald. Dale Yurs (D-2) referred to the rumors in the most direct words yet including insubordination and boundary issues between officers and the chief after conducting his own investigations. Is this trying to change disciplinary matters? he asked. I dont think it would achieve those goals, and I think it would be unethical to (prearrange an employees departure). Giver denied that his call for open hiring would have any connection to any sort of purge, just as PFC attorney Steve Zach did last week and PFC president Delora Newton asserted twice in public comments before the discussion. Were looking at trying to bring them in line and to move forward and have a positive and excellent fire department, Giver said Monday. There is not an attempt here to clear people of the fire department and to solve any problems. This is just an open process to see what there is for staff available. After the council voted

7-0 to authorize filling the open positions, which are similar but not identical to the current staffing, the council continued the debate, which got technical enough that even city attorney Brian Kleinmayer injected his own unsolicited, non-legal opinion into it after rattling off the relevant statute. I think that you probably have all the facts that you need at this point, he said. Im not sure youre going to get anything from deferring it other than to upset the timeline that the Police and Fire Commission and the chief have discussed. That timeline included a plan to have conditional offers in place by early November for the jobs that will transition on Jan. 1. But it assumed recruitment starting next week and a vote from the PFC authorizing the process on Wednesday.

Politics of personnel

The council voted 4-3 to delay the vote, with Yurs, Diaz, Doyle and Ald. Heather Reekie (D-4) voting in favor. Reekie did not explain her vote, but she indicated Tuesday that it was a procedural issue, wanting to wait until the PFC had taken official action. Yurs said after the meeting he had no intention of withholding funding for

recruitment but rather needed a delay to discuss some information with PFCs Newton. Newton said Tuesday that she was really disappointed in the deferral, and she noted that the PFCs agenda contained a potential closed session item to consider potential litigation and get legal advice on it. The statutes created the structure of the (PFC) to make sure politics were not involved in the hiring of police and fire personnel, she said. The council is trying to influence our decision-making process for fire personnel. I think that violates the spirit of the statutory separation. She said the PFC chose the open hiring process because we wouldnt have felt like we did our due diligence otherwise. Nonetheless, she expressed sympathy for firefighters who are still unsure whether theyll have a job come January. On Monday, Ald. Mac McGilvray (D-1) again expressed his frustration with what he characterized as a lack of respect for a statutory process. McGilvray has openly feuded with the newer members of the council and earlier this summer walked to the podium at the end of a meeting and chided each of them individually. Monday he said the delay was not doing the process any favors and claimed that the very reason state statutes provide for a PFC is to prevent such council interference. If youre going to just try to find a way around it, come out and say it, he said.

not opposed the principles of the city starting a new type of development on well and septic, rather than municipal water and sewer and potentially straining city services like police and snowplowing. Ald. Scott Manley (D-2) found no reason to say no and said it would be a shame to not take advantage of the apparently willing market. And Mayor Jon Hochkammer pointed out that had the city-town consolidation gone through and it was supported by 90 percent of city voters who turned out such systems would have been commonplace within city limits. But Ald. Heather Reekie (D-4) said even though she believed Heinrichs experts and the city engineer that the stormwater runoff problems would improve, it wouldnt be nearly as much as if the county bought the land and turned it into parkland. And Ald. Luke Diaz (D-3) said the city shouldnt change its ordinances to meet the needs of one developer and should be focusing on development downtown, rather than on the periphery. If the town develops it, so be it, he said. We should be more worried about doing the right thing than doing anything. Jim Ferolie

Anchor Bank files for bankruptcy

The 55 locations of AnchorBank in Wisconsin including one in Verona will continue as usual after the banks holding company announced in a news release Tuesday that it has raised $175 million from investors and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The move was hailed as a win for Madison-based AnchorBank, which has struggled with losses since the economic downturn five years ago. The holding company owes $183 million for a 2008 loan from a group of lenders led by U.S. Bank and $139 million to the U.S. Treasury through the Troubled Asset Relief Program in 2009, according to the Wisconsin State Journal. Through a new agreement, those creditors have agreed to accept much less than what is owed, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reported. Chris Bauer, AnchorBank president and CEO, told the State Journal that none of the companys 700 employees will lose their jobs as a result of the transactions. AnchorBank is not part of the Chapter 11 filing, Bauer said in a news release. The Chapter 11 filing includes only the Holding Company and does not affect AnchorBank, its people, or its services, he said. It will be business as usual at the Bank. Our customers will continue to work with the same employees, our leadership team remains in place and all customer deposits remain safe and insured to the fullest extent possible by the FDIC. As such, there will be no interruption of AnchorBank services and customer programs, and there will be no changes in employment or leadership within the Bank. The Verona branch is at 420 W. Verona Ave.

The effort, from the PTO Playground Committee, was a result of years of concerns about the shortage of playground and ball fields for youth and involved school district and city officials. One of its first accomplishments was an $8,000 blacktop project for a third- and fourth-grade playground at Verona Elementary School. The school district began a self-evaluation program in which teachers would critique most programs of the district on an advisory basis. The school district reported that it now had 14 computers for students in the district and planned to have 30 by the end of the following year. Police began carrying Milwaukee Brewers baseball cards to give away to kids in an effort to increase relations between police and youth. The program was supported by the Verona Jaycees and Optimists. Dana Duppler of Paoli was honored by the county for his restoration of a 130-year-old dance hall and general store in Paoli, Fischer Hall. Duppler had purchased the building seven years earlier as a residence and used old photographs and physical evidence to restore it to its original condition. Three Verona girls and two boys qualified for the state track and field meet. Dianna Johnson (800 meters) and Lisa Zentko (400) each broke school records.

Goals: school board approves beliefs and outcomes statement

Continued from page 1 shifting to a model in which each schools curriculum has a particular focus such as fine arts or science or immersion in a foreign language and letting parents and kids decide where they want to go. None of these changes have been finalized, budgeted for or even discussed by the board in concrete terms. Nor are they off limits, Gorrell said. What is known is that the boards statement calls for every student to have a personalized learning plan by the 2016-17 school year. That phrase has been gaining steam in educational circles and in Verona for years. Fueled in part by new technology, the basic idea is that schools could move from a one-size-fits-all instructional model to one in which learning plans are customized for every student. In fact, that word every was repeated seven times in the boards

On the web
To read a copy of the school boards one-page beliefs and outcomes statement, go to connectverona. com complete statement, which included commitments that every student should graduate high school and achieve their choice of college or career plan. Thats no accident, Gorrell said. While the district does a good job of educating most students, many arent successful. Verona has long struggled with an achievement gap, with minorities or lowincome students trailing their white, wealthier peers on standardized test scores. Also, the district could do more to let high-achieving students work at their own pace, rather than idle in an 18- or 36-week course

they could master in a few weeks, Gorrell said. Customizing learning plans for each kid could change that, he said. Indeed, new technology from the past couple of years namely tablet computers, smart phones and other mobile devices offer new ways of teaching kids of varying abilities. Gorrell cautioned that the devices themselves arent going to do anything, and coming up with money to buy more gadgets is hardly a given. Teachers will need more training on how to use them effectively. But he feels Verona is moving in that direction. The direction on the horizon is towards personalized learning, he said. Its not a matter of if, its when. Id like for us to be in front of that curve. Some big ideas are already in play in Verona. Many elementary school classes have experimented with putting tablets in each kids hands. High school teachers have tested out flipped and blended

classrooms that combine online and in-class instruction. And over the past two years, the district awarded nearly $140,000 in innovation grants to teachers who drum up creative new teaching strategies. Also this fall, the new Exploration Academy charter school will open inside Verona Area High School. It will eschew the traditional class schedules, grading systems and subject-based courses. Instead, teens will work at their own pace on projects that mesh with their interests through project-based learning that could include internships or jobs. New initiatives like these could serve as templates for the entire district, Gorrell said. But its too early to nail down specifics, including how much money or staff training will be required. Gorrell noted that some teachers could be wary of a new model that views them more as learning coaches rather than lecturers, though he insists they wont be

replaced by technology. They are more necessary than ever in this approach, he said. He also said many teachers are chomping at the bit to plan and implement new initiatives. Last school year, in fact, dozens of teachers and administrators toured schools in the Janesville, Kettle Moraine, Oregon, Waukesha and West Allis-West Milwaukee school districts to see what theyre doing with personalized learning. The school board also voted Monday to spend $6,500 to extend their membership in a consortium of southeastern Wisconsin school districts collaborating on personalized learning. While mission statements can gather dust, Gorrell said the boards statement from April wont do so. Its not just window dressing.

Exploration Academy lands $175K grant

Veronas newest charter school earlier this month landed its second $175,000 federal grant in a year. The Exploration Academy was one of 19 charter schools statewide to share $3.9 million in initial implementation grants, state Department of Public Instruction officials said in an Aug. 5 news release. Set to open this fall with about 60 students, the academy will be housed within Verona Area High Schools K-wing. The charter, approved by the Verona Area school board in January, will eschew traditional class schedules, grading systems and subjectbased courses. Instead, teens will work at their own pace on projects that mesh with their interests through project-based learning that could include internships or jobs in the community. The school landed a $175,000 planning grant from DPI in August 2012 that helped offset training and preparation needed to open the school. Implementation grants are typically used for staff training and to pay for curriculum and materials but not salaries or building costs for start-up charters. The grants are not uncommon for new charter schools. Verona Area International School, which opened in 2010, landed similar funding. Wisconsin is distributing a total of $12.8 million in federal grant money to 66 charter schools in the state, the news release said. Seth Jovaag

Costs incurred for improvements made to a non-conforming use that facilitate or enhance groundwater protection shall not be considered when determining whether the total structural repairs or alterations in a nonconforming building, premises, structure or fixture during its life exceed 50 percent of the assessed value of the building, premises, structure or fixture. The City, in its sole discretion, shall determine which improvements facilitate or enhance groundwater protection and identify the costs for said improvements.

The owner, person or entity shall be responsible for all costs of cleanup, including, but not limited to: a. The cost of City employees time associated in any way with the cleanup. The cost shall be the employees hourly rate multiplied by a factor determined by the City to represent the Citys cost for expenses, benefits, insurance, sick leave, holidays, overtime, vacation, and similar benefits provided to the employee. b. City consultant fees associated in any way with the cleanup, including attorney and engineering fees. c. The cost of City equipment employed. d. The cost of mileage reimbursed to City employees attributed to the cleanup. (2) Following any unauthorized discharge within a Well Head Protection Area, the City may require additional test monitoring and/or bonds or sureties as it deems necessary and reasonable. (3) Penalties for noncompliance with the WHP Ordinance shall be as provided in section 1-1-7 of the City Code. (i) Severability. The invalidity of one or more of the phrases, sentences, clauses, or sections contained in the WHP Ordinance shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of the ordinance. The Common Council hereby declares that it would have enacted the remainder of the WHP Ordinance even without any such phrase, sentence, clause, or section. The foregoing ordinance was duly adopted by the Common Council of the City of Verona at a meeting held on August, 12, 2013.
