Water system
nourishes Veronas
community garden
Organizers expect to
sell all 90 plots
VICTORIA VLISIDES

Badger Prairie Community
garden went from blueprint to
blooming during the past two
years, making 2014 its first
official growing season.
OK, it might not be bloom-
ing quite yet, but water is
finally flowing and plot own-
ers have already begun plant-
ing at the 1-acre spot near the
park and ride lot off Old PB.
Plans for the garden, across
f r om t he Badger Pr ai r i e
Health Care Center in an area
once farmed by the hospitals
residents, were announced in
fall 2012 as a Dane County
parks plan initiative. It got
off the ground with dedica-
tion from a committed group
of about 8-10 local organiz-
ers as well as financial and
infrastructure support from
the county and Community
Action Coalition.
Organizer Deb Vaughan
said while they had hoped to
have garden plots available
last summer, delays last year
turned out to be a blessing in
disguise. Rainy spring weath-
er kept county officials from
installing a planned water
well and watering system to
help get the garden going, she
said, but added that the extra
time also allowed organizers
to do a soil test that yielded
favorable results that the land
is rich for planting crops.
The del ay al so al l owed
for more time to map out the
structure of the garden.
County oversight
The garden is Dane Coun-
tys first to get direct over-
sight as part of its 2012 Parks
and Open Space Plan, which
calls for county-owned lands

A new watering system (shown below) and well installed by Dane County at the Badger Prairie Community Garden in Verona brings life to the
2-year-old project. The garden has its first growing season this year, with plot owners growing vegetables, herbs and flowers. Above, former

Verona Area School District
Board
makes
$3.4M
land deal
Nov. ballot could
have 40 acres in
West End, plus
second property
SCOTT GIRARD
It s been cl ear for
months that the Verona
Area School District was
looking to buy land for
expansion.
The only question was
where.
The first answer came
Monday, as the district
made a move to pur-
chase 40 acres of land
on the west side of the
city for $3.4 million.
The parcel is in an area
long-planned for major
commercial growth but
just a few blocks of the
massive Westridge sub-
division, which sends
children to Sugar Creek
or Country View ele-
mentary schools further
east.
Its the southern end
of the mostly dormant
62-acre West End retail/
residential development,
on land its owner, Vanta
Commercial Properties,
previ ousl y i ndi cat ed
would be suitable for
condominiums.
The West End pur-
chase has plenty of con-
tingencies before its
finalized, including a big
question of road access
and a referendum, but
its not the only land

During the past seven

Looking both ways
A pair of recent events around the Verona Area School
District invited kids to learn the rules of the road on
their bicycles. The first, at Stoner Prairie Elementary
School on Saturday, May 10, offered a chance for
Fitchburg residents to test their skills. The second
event, May 17 in the parking lot at Badger Ridge
Middle School, included eight stations with different
lessons, from how to stop while riding on a hill to
looking both ways at a stop sign.

Graduation rates: State improves, Verona still ahead
SCOTT GIRARD
A successful school career
almost always leads to high
school graduation, leaving the
percentage of students who
graduate as a big indicator of
successful school districts.
Across Wisconsin, those
rates have risen in recent
years, but the Verona Area
School District continues to
remain well above average in
comparison.
A recent Wisconsin Depart-
ment of Public Instruction
(DPI) press release showed
the state has continued its
recent upward trend, graduat-
ing 88 percent of students at
the end of the 2012-13 school
year, up from 87.5 percent the
year before.
State superintendent Tony
Evers said the data confirm
national reports placing Wis-
consin among the best states
in the nation for graduation
rates. Wisconsins 88 per-
cent rate tied for second in
the nation with three other
states behind only Iowa at
89 percent, according to the
National Center for Education
Statistics.
Earning a high school
diploma is critical to the next
steps in a young persons life
(getting) ready for college
and careers, Evers said in
the press release. Through
the hard work of teachers,
school staff members, parents
and the students themselves,
we are making progress to
improve graduation rates for
all students.
Veronas numbers are even
higher, with a rate of 92.9
percent in 2013. Though that
number was down from the
93.5 percent rate in 2012, its
still nearly 5 percent ahead of
the state rate.
CKCS student wins coding contest
SCOTT GIRARD
A Verona eighth-grader
was one of four winners in
a Madison area coding con-
test for middle schoolers.
Noah Got h, a Cor e
Knowledge Charter School
student, won the Madison
Area Middle School Cod-
ing Contest put on by Edge-
wood College for his game
Flappy Birds 2.
Goth designed the game,
which asked players to use
the arrow keys to move a bird
around t he
screen and
avoid getting
hit by fall-
ing objects,
t hr ough a
coding pro-
gram called
Scratch.
To make
t he ga me ,
Goth had to decide when
the objects would fall and
how qui ckl y, and aft er
some friends tested it out
and found trick spots, he
adjusted the times.
It got considerably hard-
er, Goth said, noting his
record time was only seven
seconds of survival.
Goth said he spent about
t hr ee days codi ng and
recoding the game dur-
ing the contest period from
April 7 to 27.
For his win, Goth got the
first choice among a group
of four devices and he went
with the iPad Mini 2, which
he received at an award
banquet Tuesday, May 13.
Goth is now working on
a new Zombie game, and
said he began to enjoy cod-
ing in a seventh-grade sci-
ence class when a project
required it.
While his game may not
have been the best look-
ing, Goth said he just had to
offset that with his coding
skills.
Its a good thing Im
good at programming, he
said, Because Im definite-
ly not an artist.

POLICE REPORT
Reports collected from the log book at the Verona Police
Department.
March 25
7:29 p.m. Two different Apple products, an iPad mini and
iPhone 5s, were stolen in separate incidents from the boys
locker room during and after the school day.
March 26
10:05 a.m. A 38-year-old woman reported accidentally
locking her keys in the car with her 18-month old daughter.
Upon arrival, the child was crying and was only buckled in
by the chest strap of her child safety seat and slowly slip-
ping down in the seat. The lockout kit used on the vehicle
was unsuccessful, and the woman gave police permission
to break the passenger side window due to the baby being
in imminent danger. The woman was hoisted through the
broken window to due to the unlock button not working to
retrieve the child.

Parks are the center of
Costa Ricas universe
I
f there is one thing that
resists the times of change, it
has to be a park.
Grandparents can watch their
grandchildren play, just as their
grandparents watched them
play as children. For me, it is
a capsule that brings time to a
halt as the world races around
it, and nowhere is this phenom-
enon better observed than in San
Ramon.
In Costa
Rica, to be
considered a
town, an area
must have the
following: a
park, a church,
a school, a soc-
cer field and a
bar. The best-
designed towns
use their park as the main gath-
ering space, and the rest of these
amenities make an orbit around
it, like the sun at the center of
the solar system.
Here, you can find couples
eating ice cream, the elderly
playing chess and families
watching their kids play. In
other words, everybody sits
comfortably on their axis.
This is where people go to
get their entertainment: meet-
ing up with friends, watching
community performances or just
people-watching. The park is
where the laid back pura vida
lifestyle really shines through.
Any day of the week you can
go to the main park in down-
town San Ramon and see people
hanging out. My wife goes to
the park just about every day. It
doesnt matter whether she has
to run errands because its really
her way of getting refreshed and
socializing with whoever she
might bump into.
I force myself to make it to
the park a few times a week
now. I still can never believe the
amount of people I find there.
What are they all doing? Are
they waiting for a bus? Is there
going to be mass soon? Are they
waiting for their kid to get done
with school? Dont they have
anything better to do?
Usually right after I get done
asking myself those questions,
I bump into somebody I know
and we start to chat, and before
I know it we have been talking
for 20 minutes. And then I ask
myself those same questions
again.
I have concluded that being
from the land of opportunity
drives me away from the park
every day and into the office. I
am a workaholic, like so many
others in America.
It now makes sense to me
why, when I was growing up,
I rarely saw people at the park
in Verona and even fewer if the
park didnt have a playground or
a soccer field (as San Ramons
park does not). We are taught
throughout our lives to continu-
ously strive to improve our situ-
ation, even as so many of us are
just trying to get by.
The majority of Costa Ricans
fall into the latter category; they
are trying to make ends meet
with limited employment oppor-
tunities. But they still make time
for enjoying their community
gathering spot.
A wise Costa Rican friend of
mine once told me that there
are rich people and poor people
lying sick in hospital beds, and it
makes no difference if they both
die. They both go to the next life
as equals. It doesnt matter how
hard youve worked when you
cant take any of that with you.
He did mention the impor-
tance of having a good lifestyle,
but quality of life takes prece-
dence.
Thats the choice I find myself
having to make on a daily basis.
Is a smart phone considered a
lifestyle or life quality choice?
Watch enough TV commercials
and Im sure youll come to the
conclusion the phone companies
want you to.
Maybe that is what I miss
when I stand there, perplexed,
looking at the 60-year-old man
chatting with his buddies at 10
a.m. on a Tuesday at the park.
He doesnt have an iPhone or
a 60-inch flat screen, but he is
emanating life quality in HD.
The park in San Ramon not
only serves a purpose for the day
crowd, it also provides a haven
for nightlife.
I used to joke with my friends
that the only thing to do in San
Ramon was to go the park, but it
isnt far from reality. The high-
light of a teenagers weekend
might be to go with their friends
on a Saturday night to the park
and watch everyone drive their
cars around the park. After a
long week of work, people like
to display themselves, and one
way of doing that is to take a
few laps around the park (if you
can do it in a nice car, even bet-
ter).
This is a scene that is repeated
all over Costa Rica. Consumer-
ism is alive and well throughout
the country, but locals are will-
ing to do it at their own pace.
Even those with employment
reason that if they work less now
and have to wait a few more
months for the gratification of
having the latest gadget, theyll
gladly take their time and do
things at their own pace so as
not sacrifice park time or life
quality.
About a year ago, the city
gave the park a face lift. It put
in new sidewalks, relandscaped
and installed cool LED lights
that allow the color of the park
to change every few minutes.
All this effort affirmed the
great pride that the town takes in
displaying its prime attraction.
You see, without a park, a town
loses its center of the universe.
With nothing to orbit there is
no base, no starting point, no
common ground or identity to
the town. All you have are cold
concrete buildings, open for
business.

Letters to the editor
Taxpayers need to reclaim the
conversation on education, poverty
I know this is an unpopular
thing to say in certain education
circles but someone has to say it:
Common Core State Standards
and the Smarter Balanced Assess-
ments will do little to nothing to
help eliminate the achievement
gap.
Why? Because the achievement
gap is really an opportunity gap.
Standards and tests just measure
the opportunities that we fail to
provide our most vulnerable stu-
dents.
Since 1983s false education
crisis alert (A Nation at Risk)
our public schools have been
subjected to a 30-year barrage of
standards and tests. Some of those
standards have been extremely
well written and some of the test-
ing carried out with extreme care.
Some of the standards were poor
in quality and the testing atmo-
sphere was problematic. However,
good and bad, both demonstrated
one thing consistentlyrace,
socioeconomics, and geography
predict the test scores of test tak-
ers.
In other words, standards and
tests measure the historic ineq-
uities, and racial disparities our
society fails to address. Standards
and tests are racially biased tools
that measure systemic poverty.
This is why we should seriously
reconsider spending millions of
dollars implementing another set
of standards and tests (Common
Core and Smart er Bal anced,
PARCC). Standards and tests fail
to address the real determinants
of academic achievement. Every
tax dollar spent on common core
aligned curricular materials and
Smarter Balanced tests is a dollar
wasted.
So then what are we to do? We
must stop doing the same thing
over and over again expecting
to get different resultstest and
punish. We (you and me) must
insist that tax dollars are directed
at reducing the trauma of living in
poverty. We must demand that our
public schools are equitably fund-
ed and that schools that serve our
most vulnerable children become
centers of care for the communi-
ties they serve.
No more funneling tax dollars
to testing corporations. Instead,
lets invest in child health care,
nutrition, and books. Why these?
Because unlike standards and tests
we have more than 30 years worth
of research that these investments
actually help children experience
success in school.
Corporate driven standards and
tests are political distractions that
keep us from looking at the real
problems facing public schools
systemic funding inequities, racial
disparities and crushing poverty.

gardening opportunities
through leases.
The county installed a
parking lot last year, but
t hi s spri ng, t he wat er -
ing system brings flowing
water to the 1-acre area that
has around 90 different-
sized garden plots. It flows
water to about a dozen spig-
ots.
Vaughan said thats huge
for a community garden
that wouldnt otherwise
have convenient infrastruc-
ture for water.
You have a consistent
water source for whatever it
is you want to grow there,
she said. You dont have
to depend on the weather as
much.
The system will be a big
help to plot owners, who
collectively had signed up
for more than two-thirds
of plots available as of last
week. That includes plots
owned by Verona Area
Needs Network, which will
bring food to its Verona
Food Pantry.
Individuals or groups can
sign up for half, three-quar-
ters or full plots, which cost
anywhere from $10 to $65
on a sliding scale. Vaughan
said the most popular items
to grow are vegetables like
corn or tomatoes, but there
also flowers and herbs.
Even though Vaughan
said she wasnt going to get
a plot, she said the whole
process inspired her to start
an herb garden on the prem-
ises.
Volunteer-run
Vaughan said because
of the efforts of a group of
core volunteers, the vision
for the garden keeps grow-
ing.
For a group of volun-
teers, we had an amazing
amount of talent, she said.
It was a variety of talent,
too.
For instance, volunteer
Jeff Charles brought the
idea to use a Google phone
answering machine, a free
service, to help central-
ize contact for the group.
Another volunteer and resi-
dent, Edna Kunkel, does
photography and graph-
ic design for the group.
Ot her vol unt eer s hel p
with grounds work, while
Vaughan, a retired Univer-
sity of Wisconsin-Madison
administrator, takes care of
much of the administrative
work for the group.
The group is deemed a
steering committee that
meets monthly, but it is
looking into getting non-
profit status.
Vaughan said one of the
groups challenges is that
with are so many great
ideas, they continually
strive to keep the scope of
them attainable within a
specific timeframe. Exam-
ples include having classes
featuring master gardeners
and a holding a harvest din-
ner.
But thats a good problem
to have, because they aim
to be membership driven,
Vaughan said. The group
aims for the gardens future
to be lead by the ideas of
the people who hold stake
in it. To help that along, she
said organizers are working
to put out a user survey to
help prioritize interests.
And that interest has kept
surging with about 20 plots
left at the garden.
Vaughan expects par-
ticipation to fill up soon,
so i f youre i nt erest ed

The Good News
Imagine a newscast every evening with headlines such as
Crime Is Down and Charitable Giving Is Up and People
Are Helping Others Everywhere. Miracle of Miracles, that is
indeed the case in many places around the world, but you
wouldnt know it from watching the news. But, perhaps one
way to put all of this good news in perspective is to realize
that people helping others is such a commonplace practice
that it doesnt make the news unless its something really
extraordinary. Likewise, the millionaires and billionaires
who give generously have become so commonplace that
they even have their own club and well over a hundred
have signed onto a pledge, the so-called Giving Pledge,
which commits them to give away the bulk of their fortunes.
People who perform horrific acts of cruelty or commit hei-
nous crimes are pretty much the exception to the rule of
people acting decently, and that is why their heinous crimes
make the news. Its just too shocking to ignore. So, perhaps
we should remind ourselves every day of the Good News
that is all around and spread the word to others.
- Christopher Simon via Metro News Service
From the fruit of his mouth a man eats what is good, but the
desire of the treacherous is for violence.

only to have him murder a
woman at his salvage yard
two years later. But since
1989, 31 people have been
exonerated of wrongful con-
victions in Wisconsin and
many have been compensat-
ed for their time served.
If Hancock, 43, were
exonerated, the statutory
maximum of $5,000 per year
served would be a pittance
compared to the consequenc-
es of the trial and verdict. As
her then-husband, Brian, tes-
tified during her sentencing,
those consequences were
not in a vacuum.
Since Jennifer Hancock
was charged with and even-
tually convicted of first-
degree reckless homicide,
she has gotten divorced,
her ex-husband and chil-
dren have moved to Illinois
and their home on Fairview
Terrace, where the incident
happened, was returned to
the bank, sustained dam-
age from frozen pipes while
it was unoccupied and was
ultimately demolished.
Hancocks defense team,
led by John Hyland, leaned
heavily on the testimony
of neurosurgeon Dr. Ron-
ald Ucsinski, who said the
brain bleed that took the
life of 4-month-old Lincoln
Wilber could have been the
result of a chronic condition
caused during his delivery,
as well as Hancocks con-
tention that another, heavier
child had fallen on the boy.
Prosecutors took note of
skull fractures and a broken
femur and contended that
Hancocks frustration with
the boys colicky tempera-
ment caused her to lash out.
The graphic trial took an
emotional toll on jurors,
two of whom were excused
early and one of whom
asked to be excused dur-
ing deliberations but then
relented. Three alternates
prevented it from becoming
a mistrial.
A juror interviewed by
the Verona Press said the
group agreed that Hancock
snapped, and they there-
fore chose the more severe
of two conviction options,
first-degree reckless homi-
cide, rather than the option-
al second-degree charge.
The State Journal/Medill
series scrubs through the tes-
timony and talks to experts
years later, finding in some
cases that prosecution wit-
nesses are less certain than
they were during the trial.
Most prominently, medical
examiner Michael Stier told
the State Journal in Sun-
days story that, while he still
believes the evidence fits a
theory of intentional harm,
he can no longer rule out the
possibility of natural causes
in the boys death and that
prosecutors were on a witch
hunt.
The State Journal report-
ed that medical experts
have pointed to a dormant
heart virus and said it could
have been a blood clot,
rather than a trauma, or a
birth injury that manifested
itself months later par-
ticularly considering inves-
tigators did not find bruis-
ing. Clotting, however, had
been brought up during
the trial because Wilbers
mother has lupus, and a
prosecution expert noted
that he had been tested mul-
tiple times for the problem.
At the time, Stier had ruled
that out as a cause.
Stier did not find a skull
fracture in the initial exami-
nation, but other experts,
including a radiologist, said
there was one. The State
Journals story reports Stier
as being more adamant now
that there was not a fracture.
A Wisconsin Innocence
Project representative told
the State Journal such cases
should be reviewed in light
of improvements in science
and multiple theories about
the childs death.

Hancock: Wisconsin Innocence project taking up appeal
purchase likely to be on the
November ballot. VASD
superintendent Dean Gorrell
said he expects the district to
have a second piece of land
up for referendum, though he
did not get into specifics on
the potential property or cost.
The district had previously
targeted Town of Verona
properties north and south of
the City of Verona but made
no public mention of the
West End. In recent months,
district staff have noted that
VASDs elementary schools
are close to capacity, with
middle and high schools fol-
lowing right behind.
The contingencies on the
purchase approved Monday
ask both the district and Van-
ta, which last month changed
its name from T. Wall Prop-
erties, to get the necessary
zoning and city approvals
and confirm the usability of
the site for a potential school.
Those would need to be done
by August so the school
board can put the referendum
on the ballot in November.
Theres quite a bit of
work to do between now and
(August), Gorrell said.
Though he expects the
contingencies to be met,
Gorrell said there are still
lots of ways for this to not
materialize, adding that the
districts lawyer and Vantas
lawyer spent a lot of time
working out the specific
wording to ensure the con-
tingencies were acceptable to
both sides.
Growth coming
The purchase comes after
months of discussion that
began last December to out-
line the districts future as it
continues its rapid growth
and nears or surpasses capac-
ity at its schools, especially
at the elementary school
level.
Earlier this year, the board
established a Future Schools
Committee, made up of par-
ents, district staff and Verona
business owners, to look at
the options for expanding
the district, and the group
held its first meeting last
week. Committee members
will need to discuss the spe-
cific use of the site, Gorrell
said, as part of a formal plan
outlining possible changes to
grade distributions or other
restructures throughout the
district.
The district has continued
to grow by triple digits dur-
ing the last few years, and
administrators recognize that
growth will likely continue
for years to come. For the
2013-14 school year, alone,
resident student enrollment
increased by 151 students
95 more than district offi-
cials expected.
Sugar Creek was above
its capacity for this school
year, based on a 2006 district
study, as was Badger Ridge
Middle School, with most of
the other schools expected
to grow next year as well as
they approach their capacity
numbers. That growth forced
the school board earlier this
year to cap open enrollment
into the district at 30 stu-
dents, well below the 85 in
the current school year and
even further from the 139
spots in 2011-12.
The property
The new property is on
the southern end of the
West End and would run up
against the Military Ridge
State Trail to the south, the
Hwy. 18-151 ramp to the
east and the Erbach property
to the west. Verona residents
have been keeping an eye
on that property for several
years, since two separate
developers invested several
million dollars into the prop-
erty and planned for a large
big box-anchored shopping
center.
However, plans changed
multiple times and the eco-
nomic downturn left the
planned apartments as the
only apparent viable invest-
ments on the site. Vanta has
submitted a new concept for
the property to the City of
Verona and will discuss it
at next months Plan Com-
mission. Those plans could
affect how the VASD site
would be accessed.
That access, a major issue
when Wall was attempting to
develop the land in 2007, is
one of the major contingen-
cies that must be met in order
for the deal to go through.
The property sits next to
U.S. Hwy. 18-151, leaving
no option for access from
the west or south, and a high
price tag would accompany
any road that connects to
Paoli Street to the east
including a likely Military
Ridge State Trail overpass
and uncertain approval from
the state. Gorrell called that
option cost-prohibitive
and said administrators have
no plans to connect to Paoli
Street.
As part of the agreement,
Vanta is required to pre-
pare a certified survey map
for approval from the city,
which would likely require
improvements to public
access, utility service and
infrastructure such as curb,
gutter and sidewalks.
Vanta will also be required
to enter a developers agree-
ment for those improve-
ments if necessary at a cost
acceptable to the com-
pany, according to the deal.
Other contingencies include
rezoning the property (its
currently zoned for condo-
miniums), a stormwater pond
agreement, an approved ref-
erendum in November and
the districts right to exam-
ine the property between
now and Nov. 1 to ensure
its suitability as a potential
school site. That examination
could include environmental
inspections and traffic pat-
tern and transportation stud-
ies.
Gorrell said Tuesday that
district and city officials
have agreed West Verona
Avenue is equipped to han-
dle the increased traffic that
would come from a school,
but the issue will be getting
from the main street back to
the school. That is something
he expects to work out in the
coming months.
Gorrell said nothing is
imminent for this property if
the deal is eventually closed.
For him, it came down to not
passing up what he saw as
an important opportunity to
invest in the districts future.
If you have an oppor-
tunity to buy land for the
future, whether its five years
from now or 25 years from
now, (you do it), he said.
Theres a lot of undevel-
oped land around Verona,
but (that land) isnt where
any kids are at currently, and
its not where kids are going
to be.

Third-generation chiropractor brothers take over 31-year Verona business
SCOTT GIRARD
They were always meant to be chiro-
practors.
At least thats how it feels to brothers
Steve and Joe Beyler, whose father and
grandfather were both chiropractors in
their professional time as well.
I remember going around with my
grandfather on house calls, and Ill never
forget this little old German lady getting
on the table, all slow and stuff and shed
get adjusted and pop right up, be all happy,
and that really got stuck in my mind as a
kid, Steve Beyler said.
And as their contract for their practice
at Princeton Club was coming to a close
last year, an opportunity presented itself
to take over an established business in the
city they went to school in as children.
Steve Reinen, who opened Reinen Chi-
ropractic in Verona 31 years ago, was on
his way to retirement, and needed someone
to take over his practice.
Why not the children of his former pro-
fessional friend Mark Beylers, who had
gone to school with his own children?
I knew that (Mark Beylers) sons were
chiropractors, and I knew that they prob-
ably would be someone who would con-
sider having my place as a practice, Steve
Reinen said of his thoughts when first
approaching the Beylers about his busi-
ness.
For the brothers, it was a pretty easy
choice.
My dad and him were professional
friends, they covered for each other on
vacation, Steve said.
Though the sign in front of the office
may not show it yet, the Beylers officially
took over in February when Reinen retired.
They had been transitioning into the role
for months beforehand while they worked
through the process of keeping the major
insurer for the company, Dean Health Plan.
Sometimes it works out right, but we
had to work at it to make it all work,
Reinen said of the transition.
The brothers each have their own area
of expertise, with Joe using a specialized
Myofascial release treatment, while Steven
picked up an interest in working with chil-
dren early on in his career, and helps with
babies suffering from colic, bedwetting or
ear infections.
In the Madison area, Dane County,
theres a lot of chiropractors, so youve got
to set yourself apart, Joe said.
Joe said Reinens established practice
has brought them a lot of business, along
with many of their own previous clients.
The two are working to revamp some
of the business systems for communica-
tion, from having patients sign up for text
and email alerts to better electronic filing,
along with acquiring a new X-ray machine.
The Beylers are excited to be back in
Verona, and are looking forward to meeting
the expectations their family and the former
owner of their business have set up for them.
Were trying to live up to (Dr. Reinen),
and my dad and my grandpa, Joe said
with a laugh. We have some shoes to fill,
but were doing pretty good.
For his part, Reinen has enjoyed his first
months of retirement, though it helps he
got to know so many people in his 31 1/2
years in Verona, starting in what is now
the Culvers parking lot.
I just was over at Millers and I cant
walk through there without seeing several
people that say hey hows that retirement
going? he said over the phone. You
cant see the smile on my face, can ya?

Ask the Verona
Q. When is the best time of year to have my ductwork cleaned?
A. This time of year is actually one of the best times to have your ductwork
cleaned. The temperatures are rising and very soon we will be cooped up in
the house with our windows closed and our air conditioners running. The fall is
another great time of year, before we have to run our furnaces. Over the years, dust
and debris from normal living flows in to your ductwork and can build up with-in
the system. Duct work that has large amounts of build-up can cause higher energy
bills due to the system having to work harder to push the air through the system as
well as different allergy and health issues. Having your duct work cleaned during
the spring or fall will eliminate that build-up and then you and your family will be
breathing clean and healthy air all year long.

Q. How do you dress a bay window?
A. Bay windows can be tricky, but there are a number of solutions. Curved or bent
drapery hardware will tailor your custom draperies very nicely to an arch and deal
with those inside corners, or mounting on medallions give stationary panels a very
dramatic look. Blinds and shades, if calculated correctly can fit perfectly to a 3 or
5 sided window, but watch out - measuring is everything! Or consider mounting
your draperies or top treatment on the outside of the bay for an elegant look which
frames the bay itself. Call for your free consultation to accentuate those curves and
turn your bay into a beauty!

Q. My dog has started to lick her feet excessively and rub her face on the floor,
why could this be?
A. About 40 percent of dogs have allergies. Allergies can occur all year round but are
especially prevalent in the late spring through early fall as seen with people. People
have a lot of snifing and sneezing symptoms because there are a lot of histamine
producing cells in their mucous membranes. Dogs have a lot of histamine producing
cells in the skin of their feet and face so their skin becomes itchy in these areas. Your
veterinarian can often prescribe a routine antihistamine over the phone that will help
in some cases. However, in severe cases stronger medications may be needed to keep
your dog more comfortable. Secondary infections may be needed and allergy testing
can also be done to nd the specic cause of the allergy. Your veterinarian can also
rule out any other causes for the itching at this time.

A Name to Remember
Curtis Jones Field gets plaque to commemorate its namesake
SCOTT GIRARD
He didnt live a long life,
but Curtis Jones left a large
legacy in the Verona com-
munity before he died of
cancer in 1962.
Back then, the Village of
Verona had fewer than 600
residents, but one of his
accomplishments in par-
ticular still resonates for the
city that now has more than
11,000.
Jones, a 1950 graduate
of Verona High School and
Verona business owner,
joined the school board in
1958 and quickly made a
controversial impact, playing
a major role in purchasing
land for a new high school.
That s t he same l and
Verona Area High School,
in a greatly expanded state,
sits on now.
Personally Im in awe
of what Curt accomplished
in his time in the world,
said 1950 classmate Will
Schmid. (Hes a) model
for all of us and the genera-
tions to follow.
In 1960, the city wasnt
the bustling, growing com-
munity it is now, though,
with around 100 students
in the high school. So many
in the audience the night
Jones proposed the pur-
chase couldnt see why
we needed 40 acres, said
class of 1950 president Phil
Roethlisberger.
Just look around us, he
said Saturday at a ceremony
revealing a new plaque at
to commemorate Jones
accomplishments. Weve
covered the 40 acres and
then some.
Within a few short years,
the state closed many of the
one-room schoolhouses that
had served the rural areas
outside Verona and began
busing students to central
areas for schooling togeth-
er.
And in 1966, the Verona
school board decided to
honor Jones, dedicating in
his name the new athletic sta-
dium that sat on the land he
had pushed to purchase.
Need for recognition
Years later, as the school
now includes some of the top
athletic programs in the Big
Eight Conference, many ath-
letes have set foot on Curtis
Jones Field. But they often
dont know the name or what
Jones had done.
That became appar -
ent to school board presi-
dent Dennis Beres when
he first joined the board in
2002. As the board went
around discussing poten-
tial improvements to the
field, Beres recalled some-
one asking, Who is Curtis
Jones, anyway?
Beres wasnt too happy
with that.
When the class of 1950
came along last year with
the idea to find a way to
ensure Jones memory was
properly honored, Beres
spent months working with
them to make it happen.
That all culminated Sat-
urday with a ceremony that
coincided with the class
reunion and brought Jones
widow and three children
to Wisconsin on a road trip
from the southeastern Unit-
ed States.
Speeches from cl ass-
mat es, current foot bal l
coach Dave Richardson
and Beres touched on much
more than Jones school
board service, and brought
applause from the crowd
of 30 or so Class of 1950
members in attendance.
Integrity, dedication and
courage, Verona football
coach Dave Richardson
said Saturday of what he
tries to instill in his players.
Today gives me a great-
er opportunity to connect
those three character traits
to the person the field is
dedicated to.
Those three words are
perfect.
Fond memories
The plaque is mounted
on the stadiums new bath-
room and concession facil-
ity on the north end of the
field. The bronze memorial
is 3 feet by 2 feet and tells
about Jones life and the
impact he had.
At the ceremony, Schmid
recalled his early impres-
sions of Jones when they
began high school.
He was good-looking to
a fault oozing confidence
and rumor had it he was
also on top of the smart pile,
Schmid told the crowd.
All men are created
equal had some conditions
to it, he added to laughter
from the crowd.
Appr eci at i on f or t he
dedication and kind words
from those who knew Jones
showed t hroughout t he
hour-long ceremony on the
faces of his family mem-
bers.
We didnt do anything,
its all about him, Jones
son Dave said when con-
gratulated before the cer-
emony.
The plaque
Named in 1966 in
recognition of Curt Jones,
VHS Class of 1950, for his
dedication to the Verona
Area School System and
the community.
Curt, a born leader and
multi-sport scholar athlete,
was the quarterback of the
first Verona 11-man foot-
ball team. Valedictorian of
the 1950 class, he went on
to attend the UW College
of Engineering. After time,
he realized his goal to be a
successful business owner
in the Verona community.
Dedicated to his family, he
was an active participant
in church and commu-
nity affairs. Elected to the
Verona School Board, he
was a leader in identifying
the need for a larger sec-
ondary education complex
and followed through to the
construction of the present
facility.
He lived only 30 years,
yet Curt left a legacy of
dedication to education,
devotion to family, and
community service that is a
model for us all.
He will long be remem-
bered.
The plaque honoring Curtis
Jones is mounted on his
namesake stadiums new
bathroom and concession
facility near the north end
zone.

Breakwell listen as Class of 1950 president Phil Roethlisberger speaks about his memories of Jones.

Q. My child does not eat enough vegetables. What can
I do?
A. As with many things, be a good role model and eat a
variety yourself. Let your child shop with you - the produce
department is an amazing and colorful place! Make it a game
to try a new vegetable or two every week. Allow children to
decline ones they decide they dont care for. Serve them with healthy dips or experiment
with foods that can accommodate added chopped or pureed vegetables. Tastes change so
dont be afraid to reintroduce a vegetable not previously liked. Keep bite size vegetables
cleaned and ready for easy snacking by the whole family!

Q. Should I pay off my mortgage early?
A. Paying off your mortgage is a popular idea these days. Theres a sense of relief
and pride that comes with no longer sharing ownership with the bank. But paying
off your mortgage could increase your tax bill. Mortgage interest is tax deductible,
so your true (after-tax) cost might be up to 45% less than the your out-of-pocket
expenditure. Smaller, low-rate mortgages might not be providing any benet due
to the ever-increasing standard deduction, while at the high end of the income
scale ($250,000 and up), your deduction might be limited due to recently enacted
phase-out legislation. So knowing your tax bracket and your bottom-line tax
savings on your mortgage is the rst step towards deciding whether it makes
sense to pre-pay your mortgage. Your tax preparer can help you walk through the
numbers to see how the tax laws effect your mortgage interest deduction. Give us
a call if we can help.

Q. Tooth Whitening - How does it work?
A. Tooth whitening has remained quite popular in the United States. An estimated 10 million Americans
will spend a staggering 1.7 billion dollars on tooth whitening pastes, products and services this year alone.
Although teeth can stain or discolor for a variety of reasons, the yellowing that many of us dislike occurs
from exposure to a variety of foods and drinks and from age. Tooth enamel is hard and durable but it is also
porous, making it susceptible to stains. Surface stains can often be polished off by a dentist and sometimes by
whitening toothpastes. Pastes utilize a more aggressive abrasive to serve their function. They do not actively
whiten. Below surface discoloration can often be treated with topical whitening gels through the supervision
or treatment of a dentist or through select, Over-the-Counter whitening strips products. Whitening gels are
carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide based chemicals that get into the enamel layer and produce a chemical
reaction or oxidation that breaks down the staining compounds. When used properly, they are safe and effective.
Whitening can cause some tooth and gum sensitivity and in rare cases tooth pain or damage. The potency of
these chemicals determines the speed and aggressiveness of the whitening. The type of delivery of these agents
is what differentiates the types of whitening, whether it be dentist administered In-Office whitening, dentist
supervised Take-home whitening, or Over-the-Counter Whitening Strips. Your dentist can advise you which
option may work best for you.

PHYSICAL THERAPY
Q. What is tendonitis and how is it treated?
A. A tendon is a strong band of smooth connective tissue that attaches a muscle to
a bone. It is contained within a covering, called the tendon sheath, which allows the
tendon to slide easily when the muscle contracts and relaxes. Tendonitis (or tendinitis)
occurs when the tendon becomes inamed, generally from overuse, repetition, injury
or trauma to the tendon. Tendonitis often occurs in the shoulder, elbow, hip, knee,
foot and ankle and is noted more frequently in athletes as well as persons with
osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and diabetes. Sharp, burning pain, loss of motion,
decreased strength, inexibility and loss of function occur when the inamed tendon
is pulled through the sheath by the muscle. Physical Therapy provides signicant relief
of inammation and pain, then focuses on restoration of range of motion, strength, and
functional movement. Contact Stellar Rehabilitation for more information at 845-2100

Q. Im getting severe pain in my wrist and hand. Is this carpal tunnel
syndrome? Is there anything besides surgery that can help if it is?
A. There are actually many different compression syndromes that can cause pain or numbness in the
hands and wrists. Once we make a proper diagnosis we can treat your pain, without surgery, utilizing
a four-step approach. First, we would assess your ergonomics at work or at home so that you could
make immediate corrections to your environment which is helpful in preventing the situation from
getting worse or reoccurring. Second, we would assess and adjust any subluxations of the spine and
extremity. Correcting the subluxation is essential in restoring function to the nerve, muscle and joint
area. Third, we would begin massage treatment of the arm and wrist to reduce adhesions and maintain
exibility of the wrist exors and extensors. Lastly, we would prescribe exercises that could be done at work or at home to
maintain strength and exibility. With these four simple steps you can typically avoid having to resort to surgery and you come
away with the knowledge and ability to prevent it from happening again.

REAL ESTATE
Q. What are some quick and easy things I can do to get my home ready to sell?
A. Clean everything thoroughly. Ask a friend to help you assess your efforts especially
in sensitive areas such as odor removal. Un-clutter all areas of your home to create an
impression of spaciousness and plentiful storage. A great way to clear away clutter and
make money at the same time is to hold a yard or garage sale. Leave; dont be at home
during a showing or open house. Your absence will put buyers at ease so theyll feel
free to linger and ask questions. Paint because nothing makes a home look newer faster
than a fresh coat of paint. Neutral colors such as beige, white, off-white and gray have a
broad appeal to prospective buyers. The neutral colors suggest newness and cleanliness.
Its a good idea to stick to these colors when making any improvements prior to selling
your home. Depersonalize by removing family photos and personal items. This will help
buyers envision themselves living in the home. For more information, check out our blog
or give us a call.

HEATING/COOLING
Q. I have central air conditioning. How can I benefit from a whole
home dehumidifier?
A. While it is true that central air conditioning provides a certain amount of
dehumidification, air conditioners are, first and foremost, designed to lower
the temperature of the space. Whole home dehumidifiers work with the
air conditioner to maintain a comfortable temperature and humidity level.
Because that is what they are designed to do, dehumidifiers remove moisture
from your home at a fraction of the cost of operating the central air condi-
tioning unit. To find out more about whole home dehumidifiers or any other

Q. Do I need underinsured motorist coverage?
A. The short answer is, yes. Underinsured motorist coverage protects you when you are injured by
someone who does not have enough car insurance to pay for the damages they cause. In Wisconsin,
the minimum car insurance limits are $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident. In some cases that
does not even cover your medical bills. Insurance companies are required to offer underinsured motorist
coverage, but they make little effort to encourage people to purchase it. Even some insurance agents
may not understand the importance of underinsured motorist coverage. Many people who should have
underinsured motorist coverage dont. People who do often have higher liability limits than underin-
sured motorist limits. They are providing more protection for others than they are for themselves and
their family. You should discuss underinsured motorist coverage with your insurance agent and make
sure you have an adequate amount. That should be at least $100,000 per person, and $250,000 or more
would be better. Underinsured motorist coverage is not expensive compared to other coverages. Be sure you and your family are
adequately protected against careless drivers who all too often are just as careless about carrying adequate insurance.

INVESTMENTS
Q. Now that Spring is here Ive been wanting to get rid of the clutter around
my yard, house, etc. What about my finances?
A. Its spring-cleaning time. This year, why not also do some sprucing up of your investments
and your overall nancial strategy? To begin, get rid of clutter in the form of investments that
are no longer appropriate for your needs or that may be virtual duplicates of other investments you
own. Also, get organized. If you have investments scattered around at several different providers,
you may be paying excess fees and incurring needless paperwork. Consider consolidating your
investments with one provider. You might also want to seal some cracks in your nancial
strategy by ensuring that your insurance needs are being met. Finally, dust off your nancial
strategy to see if its still suitable for your objectives. If youve been investing for a long time, you
may need to freshen up your strategy to accommodate changes in your life, such as marriage, the
arrival of new children, a new job and so on. Spring cleaning can bring more light into your home.
And sprucing up your investment picture can help you brighten your nancial outlook.

SENIOR CARE
Q. As I age, what can I do to protect my muscles, bones and joints?
A. Muscles, joints, and bones are vital to movement. They enable us to accomplish complex feats
such as downhill skiing and simple tasks like writing with a pencil. Bones provide our basic body
structure, joints allow exibility of movement, and muscles hold them together to make it all possible.
It is important to pay attention to these body parts all the time, not just when they hurt, and to care for
them as we age. As we age, our bones lose density, muscles lose exibility and joints become worn.
This affects mobility and balance, making us more at risk for falling and fracturing bones. Elders are
especially prone both to falling and diseases such as osteoporosis and arthritis. Experts say healthy
eating habits and moderate exercise can improve and maintain joint mobility, muscle mass, and bone
strength. A diet rich in calcium and vitamin D helps maintain bone density. Vitamin D also acts as an
anti-inammatory in regards to joint pain, as do omega-3 fatty acids found in sh such as tuna and salmon. Maintaining a healthy
weight decreases the pressure on our joints and prevents inammation of joint tissue. Limiting fat intake from other sources will
help maintain a healthy weight and keep fatty tissues from developing in muscles, which weakens them.

The Verona boys track and field
teams 4x200-meter relay has been
nothing short of a Lego play kit
with interchangeable parts this
season. And it sure paid off for the
Wildcats at the Big Eight Confer-
ence meet at Madison Memorials
Mansfield Stadium on Tuesday.
With sophomore Carson Parks
cramping up following the 100, head
coach Joff Pedretti wasnt about to
take any chances, moving junior
Josh Beckam into the lead spot of the
800 relay.
The Wildcats were rewarded with
Veronas only conference champi-
onship of the evening, as Beckam,
senior Matt Zingler and juniors
Jacob Auman and Cameron posted
a nearly two-second win over Mid-
dleton in a school record 1 minute,
30.37 seconds.
Were pretty good at switch-
ing people up, said Tindall, who
anchored the team to victory. Our
team always stresses that everyone
should be ready at any time for just
such an instance.
Though Middleton, to the inside,
was a little ahead of Tindall when he
took the baton, the junior overtook
Ernest Winters down the stretch.
I noticed I was catching up to
him on the straightaway, and I knew
at that point, I couldnt let him beat
me, Tindall said. Wed really been
pushing for that record since the
beginning of the season.
It finally all came together
tonight.
It was part of the reason Verona
went on to finish a surprise second
place as a team with 110 points.
Middleton earned six first-place
finishes en route to 169 1/3 points,
which helped the Cardinals repeat as
conference champions.
Junior Ryan Nameth and seniors
Steven Queoff and Steven Hartnett
both settled for second place against
two of the states top competitors.
Nameth finished second to Madi-
son Wests Olin Hacker in both
the mile (4:21.78) and two mile
(9:30.75).
Queoff, the defending confer-
ence champion, cleared 6-2 in the
high jump to place second behind
a returning state medalist in Andy
Keeler of Middleton.
Harnett finished runner-up to
Madison Memorials Daurice Foun-
tain in the 110 high hurdles.
Tindall and Parks became the first
two Wildcats to medal in the 100

Battling back problems for the
past year Lexy Richardson hadnt
attempted to high jump since the
first meet a year ago.
That didnt stop the senior at the
Big Eight Conference meet at Mad-
ison Memorials Mansfield Stadium
on Tuesday.
I only practiced once this past
week, said Richardson, who
cleared 5 feet for second place
behind Sun Prairie junior Tier-
ney Lindner (5-2). I figured Im a
senior, so I had nothing to lose.
It was one of four all-conference
medals Richarson would go on to

sophomore Kylie Schmaltz and
freshman Sieanna Mitchell to a

nah Miller and LaCroix to take third
place in the 4x400 (4:10.73).

team, Richarson said. We get so
riled up before each race. We know
were out there doing it for each
other and no one else.
Senior Nicole Zimbrick earned
the Wildcats lone all-conference
spot in the field events, placing sec-
ond overall to Janesville Craigs
Courtney Pohlman with a vault of
9-6.

meet, winning seven events, to
knockoff five-time defending con-
ference champion Sun Prairie (113).
Verona finished fifth with 68 points.
We had a fantastic night with
numerous PRs on a beautiful night,
head coach Mark Happel said. Put
that all together and it was a fabu-
lous meet.

BOARD OF EDUCATION
MEETING MINUTES
APRIL 7, 2014
The Verona Area Board of Education
met on Monday, March 24, 2014 in the
District Administration Building. Board
President Dennis Beres called the meet-
ing to order at 7:04 p.m. Vice President
Amy Almond confrmed the meeting was
properly noticed.
Present: Renee Zook, John McCul-
ley, Dennis Beres, Ken Behnke (arrived
at 7:28 p.m.), Amy Almond and Jeannie
Porter (arrived at 7:26 p.m.).
Absent: Joanne Gauthier
Audience Portion Andrew Beau-
champ, Charlie Mrkvicka, Ian Birschbach
and Danny Iszczyszyn, students at Vero-
na Area High School attended to address
the Board about the discontinuation of
the Project Lead the Way (PLTW) engi-
neering classes for the 2014-15 school
year at the high school. The students
are concerned that the program will be
discontinued due to a low course enroll-
ment, currently 8 students (which do not
meet the minimum requirements).
Marjorie and Cameron Damgaard
attended to address the Board about
the discontinuation of the Project Lead
the Way (PLTW) biomedical class, Medi-
cal Interventions for the 2014-15 school
year at VAHS. Cameron is a sophomore
in his second year in the PLTW program
and both he and his mother believe that
the class should continue next school
year despite low course enrollment. Mrs.
Damgaard expressed an interest to the
Board to allow parents the opportunity to
fnd ways to inform parents and the com-
munity about the program and classes
in hopes that it will grow. She expressed
that the emphasis should not be on num-
bers but should be on the value that the
program offers students.
Announcements Denny an-
nounced that this is Jeannie Porters last
meeting on the Board and expressed his
gratitude for her time, service and dedi-
cation. Denny presented Jeannie with a
plaque from the Board and wished her
well. Jeannie thanked everyone and ex-
pressed that she enjoyed her time as a
member of the Board. She feels that this
was an excellent group to work with and
she appreciates everyones conversa-
tion, time and efforts. Jeannie also en-
couraged other members of the commu-
nity to take part in the Board as it feels
really good to contribute.
Renee attended the Annual Chil-
drens Carnival last Saturday at the HS
and thought that the VAHS students did
a great job.
BOARD BUSINESS
Consider approval of minutes Mo-
tion (Zook) second (Almond) to approve
the minutes from the March 24, 2014
Board Meeting. Motion carried (4-0).
Consider action on tennis court bids
- Consider action on tennis court bids
Mike Schmeltzer from JSD Professional
Services and Chris Murphy attended to
update the Board on the bids that were
received for the tennis courts. The proj-
ect consists of replacing the 6 existing
courts and adding 2 courts to the west.
The new designs should lead to higher
level of play and longevity of the courts
and potential for a variety of different age
groups to utilize the courts.
Mike also reviewed the results of
the bidding process for the tennis court
renovations. They received and reviewed
3 bids for the project. All 3 bids were
within $34,000 of each other. They took
a fair amount of time to review all of
the bids by comparing the levels of ex-
perience, quality of work and reviewed
all documents to make sure they were
properly prepared and submitted. JSD
is recommended going with the lowest
bid submitted by Wolf Paving of Madison
for the amount of $344, 577. They will be
submitting an application this week to
the City of Verona.
Chris added that pending Board
approval tonight, the project will begin
the week of May 7th with a completion
deadline of 7/31 in time for the start of
the girls tennis season. The plans took
in to consideration the cross-country
track and will not affect the route in any-
way. There is a life expectancy of 25-35
years for the new tennis courts. Funding
for the project included $25, 000 from
the City, around $10, 000 from the tennis
booster club and some funds to be used
from the extra funds from open enroll-
ment. We are also planning to apply for
a grant from the USDA Tennis Associa-
tion; the amount of the grant will range
from $20,000-$50,000. Motion (Almond)
second (Porter) to approve the bid from
Wolf Paving in the amount of $344, 577.
Motion carried (6-0)
Presentation of communications
audit David Voss from Voss and Asso-
ciates attended to present to the Board
a summary of the results of the com-
munication audit that he conducted over
the past 2 months. David shared with
the Board a PowerPoint presentation
with his fndings from the audit. David
thanked everyone who volunteered to be
interviewed and provided input. Eighty
seven percent of districts in Wisconsin
do not have a designated public informa-
tion offcer; however there is a growing
trend that makes the need for a commu-
nications person within the district rele-
vant. The communication audit revealed
that VASD has a good historical reputa-
tion and a very positive internal brand.
VASD has a very supportive community
who is willing to do more, particularly the
business community. Staff has a strong
desire to be understood and get their
messages out. On the list of needs is the
website, which is currently under con-
struction and to a crisis plan prepared.
Parents would like for communication to
be simplifed and amplifed. Communica-
tions is the top priority for the district
right now; David recommends either a
fulltime staff member or outsourcing to
a PR company to handle the districts
growing needs to address communica-
tion.
Consideration of Elimination of
Employer Paid Health Insurance Contri-
butions 20-29.9 hour/week Employees
(New Hires Only). - Jason Olson attended
to address the Board on eliminating em-
ployer paid health insurance contribu-
tions for newly hired employees who
work between 20-29.9 hours week. The
administration is asking the Board to
modify access to employer paid health
insurance as a result of the Affordable
Care Act. There are currently 5 neigh-
boring districts that have done this. We
currently have 18 employees who would
fall in this category, however, the admin-
istration recommends those employees
be grandfathered so they will not be af-
fected; they would have until June 30th
to make a decision whether to stay on
District insurance, or fnd insurance
through some other source such as the
exchange. Jason is proposing having the
current insurance provider come in and
speak with employees who this will af-
fect about their options. Motion (Behnke)
second (Porter) to approve the elimina-
tion of employer paid health insurance
contributions 20-29.9 hour/week employ-
ees (new hires only). Motion carried (6-0)
Discussion of high school gradu-
ation date Pam Hammen attended to
review with Board the proposed gradu-
ation dates for the 2014-15 year. Pam
presented two options: Plan A, students
would graduation on the Sunday follow-
ing the last day of school on June 14,
2015 or Plan B: Students would gradu-
ate the weekend prior to the last day of
school. The HS is recommending Plan A
as it allows for more instructional time
with the students and it allows teachers
to only have to give fnal exams once (ex-
ams are currently being given at two sep-
arate times to accommodate the seniors
graduating earlier then the underclass-
man). Other neighboring school districts
have already done away with seniors
graduating before the end of the year.
To this point there has been no feedback
from parents as far as what they prefer;
they just prefer to know the date as far
in advance as possible so that family
plans can be made. The Board is agrees
that Plan A is the better option. This was
just an initial discussion of the proposed
graduation dates no action was taken.
Discussion of summer Board meet-
ing dates Dean briefy discussed with
Board possible dates for the summer
Board meetings as May 19th is currently
the last scheduled Board meeting. Dean
recommended for June continuing on
the same schedule of the 1st and 3rd
Monday of the month, which would make
the meetings 6/2 and 6/16. He also rec-
ommended one Board meeting in July as
it has been in previous years. The Board
decided on 7/14 for the July meeting
date. In addition the August dates will be
8/4 and 8/18 with 8/18 being the Annual
Meeting, September dates will be 9/8 and
9/22, October dates will be 10/13 and
10/27. The Board meetings will resume
the regular schedule of the 1st and 3rd
Mondays thereafter.
Appoint delegate to the CESA II
convention to be held on May 20th at
7:00 p.m. in Whitewater The Board dis-
cussed appointing a delegate to attend
the CESA II convention to be held on May
20th in Whitewater. The Board decided to
table this discussion until the new Board
member Derrell is onboard.
SUPERINTENDENTS REPORT
Update on Future Schools Commit-
tee Dean briefy updated the Board on

dance so we will look at future dates as

applications to narrow the feld to 15-16
committee members. He will keep the
Board updated on progress.

FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS / MEET-
ING DATES
Denny reviewed the future meeting
dates.
COMMITTEE REPORTS
Building, Grounds and Transporta-
tion Amy reported that the committee
met on March 28th at 7 a.m. The com-
mittee discussed the tennis courts bids
(presented today). They also reviewed
preliminary plans for the Project Lead
the Way classrooms. The update on the
estimate is approx. $485,000, which the
committee feels is probably high. The
bid opening will be at the end of April.
The project includes moveable furniture
and equipment for the classrooms. The
asbestos abatement was removed from
the bid package because it was removed
during spring break. The cost of that was
around $17,000, which came from the
building and grounds budget. This would
leave the new estimate at $456,000,
which possibly still could be high.
The committee also discussed the
selection of the Future Schools Commit-
tee members. The goal was to select a di-
verse group of individuals. Amy thanked
those individuals who volunteered to
serve on the committee. The committee
was also briefy made aware that the New
Century boiler is on its last leg and will
need to be discussed at a later date.
Finance Committee Renee report-
ed that has not met.
Personnel Committee Ken report-
ed that the committee has not met.
IDAC Committee Denny reported
that the IDAC Committee met this morn-
ing at 8 a.m. Chris, Denny and Dean pre-
sented on behalf of the school district.
Bill Burns and Adam Sayre attended and
gave an update for the City of Verona.
Downtown plan is just about implement-
ed, Simon Street intersection and pass-
through is gone. They are also asking for
a statement to say that the city will not
use imminent domain to ask people to
sale. They will ease rules for businesses
along Verona Avenue regarding their lots
that will be implemented soon. The bulk
of the work for Hwy M should begin in
2016. There is a new concept for PB and
M called fy under. With this the west-
bound PB traffc will have a tunnel under
the road without signals. The Madison/
Epic traffc will merge and also will not
have a stop signal. The only signalized
intersection will be for the northbound
and eastbound traffc on M.
The TIF for Epic is contingent on
them paying for the improvements on
Nine Mound Rd. and PB intersection,
which they are currently working on to
get completed for the 2015 construction
date. Epic 4 construction is currently un-
derway and the new parking structure for
Epic 5 (a new concept for an additional
campus) has been approved and will
be underway soon. There is a 76 unit
apartment west of Reddan and 110 unit
senior apartment that will be coming
soon in the same area; not expected to
have much impact on student enrollment
in the district. The North neighborhood
plan is proceeding and will hopefully hit
planning commission. There will also be
expanded park space that will impact
Country View. The hotel construction
across from the bike shop is still in the
works pending fnancial approval. There
have been 26 housing permits for the
frst quarter for the City of Verona; that is
an increase as there were a total of 76 for
the entire year last year.
Tony Roach attended for the City of
Fitchburg to give an update. There is a
new housing development in the works
on the corner of Lacy Rd and Fitchrona
that will be going to planning commis-
sion on 4/15. It will be a 300 + unit devel-
opment with 135 single, 15 duplexes, 156
apartments and 12 condos. There is also
an 82 unit development coming below
Target on Nesbitt and Fitchrona. Habitat
for Humanity will be doing Hamersley
housing in that area as well.
The city of Fitchburg has also ap-
plied for some grants to incorporate
agricultural heritage markers that run
through the bike trail in Fitchburg. They
will have some tours that will also be of-
fered. There has also been an outreach to
have students from Stoner Prairie come
out and do a bike tour. The Flying Hound
Pub will be opening soon near Target.
HyVee is now open and doing business.
Karl Curtis attended for the Cham-
ber of Commerce. He reported that the
business people did the Epic tour and
found it to be amazing and interesting.
He encourages others to do the tour.
The Chamber reports more hits on their
website than ever before and more un-
solicited membership applications than
they have had in years. Hometown Days
are 6/12-6/12 and the Chamber is now in
charge of running it and feels they are
doing ok. The school business breakfast
is on 4/16 at the high school with the tour
optional at 7:30 a.m.
The next IDAC meeting will be 7/7
at 8 a.m.

ed along with VAHS students Jose and
Ariadne to talk about and share their frst
edition of their newsletter Our Experi-
ences, which was created with Spanish
speaking students and families of Vero-
na in mind. The newsletter is written by

cover topics that other Spanish speaking
and ELL students and parents of Verona
can fnd helpful and benefcial.

with our cash fow.
Dean attended the meeting to re-
view and discuss the addition of new
positions including a Central Offce Re-
ceptionist, District Data Specialist, Com-
munications Specialist position and the

gal counselor also attended and has
prepared provisions that the Personnel
Committee has reviewed and agreed to.
Dean attended to discuss the re-
organizing of John Schmitts position
(which has previously been discussed).
There are several responsibilities that
currently fall under Johns position that
will be changed with the hiring of the
Director of Bilingual and Equity of In-
structor (currently in the 2nd round of
interviews). The open enrollment and na-
tatorium responsibilities will be shifted
to the Business Manager, the Choice of

of adding the positions of Communica-
tions Specialist (as recommended by

$62,000-$80,000); restructuring Allison
Gundersons position (currently Admin-
istrative Assistant to the Director of In-
struction and Director of Technology) to

her from an hourly rate to a salary posi-
tion. Her responsibilities would include
working with teachers and administra-
tors on data for Educator Effectiveness
in addition to her Power School and as-
sessment work that she is currently do-
ing. This change is projected to be about
an $8,000 increase in her current wages.
The other position would be a full time
Receptionist for Central offce. Adding
these positions would be about $140,000
of unbudgeted money. Chris Murphy
indicated there is the fexibility in the
projected 2014 2015 to accommodate
these new positions.
ADJOURN to closed session Mo-
tion (Almond) second (McCulley) to
