Verona 2nd-best
in Wisconsin for
home ownership
A national consumer data
analysis website named Verona the second-best city in Wisconsin for home ownership.
NerdWallet, which offers
financial advice, looked at a
variety of factors to determine
the rankings, including homeownership rate, homeowner
costs as a percentage of household income and 2010-12
population growth.
The city had the highest
population growth among the
85 cities on the list at 6 percent.
The study also found a
69.7 percent homeownership
rate and a 28.2 percent rate
for costs as a percentage of
household income. That was
a theme among the top cities
in the studies, with eight of
the top 10 featuring a number
lower than 30 percent, which
meets the standard of affordability from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development.
NerdWallet found the
median home value in Verona
was $241,200, second-highest
among the top five cities.
A NerdWallet article on the
study mentioned Epic and the
citys proximity to Madison,
as well.
Suamico was ranked first,
while Verona was followed
by Howard, Waunakee and
Franklin in the top five.

outstanding.
It was simply awesome to see
emergency responders and other
municipalities offering up all
the help they could. The initial
cleanup was beyond fast in
fact, ruining some photo opportunities like the downed stop sign
near my house that was already
repaired by 7 a.m.
The flip side of that was the
slow dissemination of information that really needs some work.
Sure, Im biased here, as it
affects how I do my job, but I
certainly wasnt alone in this
feeling, and the rise of instant,
prevalent social media has made
this even more important.
You cant have people kicked
out of their homes and a worry
about the possibility of downed
power lines and leaking gas lines
scaring an entire neighborhood
and have to wait four hours to
have a spokesperson available
to clear up information. In the
absence of facts, people will
make up their own, and that is
never a good thing.
Yes, I realize midnight is
not an ideal time, but the chain
of command needs to be more
responsive. The emergency
response plan must be more clear
and have more people available
to connect with the media even
the nontraditional, uncredentialed
media so people know what
they can and cant do and what
they should and shouldnt do.
It was a surreal experience
to see homes on the other side
of the street from the wanton
destruction virtually untouched,
to see residents that evening
straightening out their lawn decorations or looking for scratches.
Just some random, curious
facts here:
Only 622 of more than 20,000
summer tornadoes in the United
States since 1950 have been rated
EF3 or higher, according to a
map produced by the Washington
Post last week. Wisconsin is No.

Be Yourself
All too often in life there is pressure to conform to what others think we should be. Parents may pressure their children
to be what they think of as ideal sons or daughters. Young
people feel the pressure of looking, talking and acting the
right way so that their peers will perceive them as being
cool. In our work lives we are expected to live up to the
organizations standards and to be the face of the organization while we are at work and representing them. And of
course we all think that everyone should believe as we do on
important matters of faith and morals. But, since God created us, then perhaps we should trust that our true nature
will not lead us astray. God has implanted instincts in all of
us which serve both for our own survival as well as for the
survival of the species as a whole. We spend too much time
and effort wearing masks when we should really just try to
be ourselves. How boring it would be if everyone conformed
to others standards. We should trust that God has made us
perfect in our own way and strive to be the best version of
ourselves that we can be.
- Christopher Simon via Metro News Service
Do not let your adorning be externalthe braiding of hair
and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you
wear but let your adorning be the hidden person of the
heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet
spirit, which in Gods sight is very precious.

The second annual Animal Hospital of Verona Dog
Wash and Brat Stand was a huge success. The organization washed over 50 dogs, sold almost 80 brats and
raised $1,450. Funds raised benefit the hospitals HelpA-Pet Fund (HAPF), established in 2000 to help cover
the cost of necessary medical care for patients whose
families need some assistance.
The funds are also used to help cover basic medical
costs for stray and surrendered animals while they are
in the hospitals care. In the past two years, the HAPF
has provided assistance to over 50 pets. Donations are
always accepted and much appreciated. A huge thank
you goes out to sponsors and all those that participated and staff members who gave up their time on a
Saturday to get dirty with the dogs.

account of his trip.
atures wake-up
comes early this
time of year. In my
ultra-light tent 40 yards
off the trail, the early birds
sound like theyre perched
on my sleeping bag.
Its day 14 of my 150mile section hike on the
Appalachian Trail. What a
spectacular Sunday morning to finish my hike. I
have a gentle seven miles
left an easy climb up
Glade Mountain, then
mostly downhill to the road
crossing near Atkins, Va.
This section hike began
in May, soon after my son
Evan graduated from the
University of WisconsinEau Claire. I flew to TriCities airport in northeast
Tennessee, where a local
hiker met me.
He dropped me off at
a trailhead outside Roan
Mountain, Tenn. A previous section hike ended
abruptly here two years ago
when some nasty-looking
weather convinced me
to quit early. That nasty
weather turned out to be
Superstorm Sandy winding
up for a sucker punch to the
East Coast.
On the trail ahead, I
wouldve slogged through
10-plus inches of heavy,
wet snow guaranteeing
wet boots, wet everything
with little chance of drying out. So, now Im back.
From here its 75 miles
through sparsely-settled
Tennessee mountains
to an overnight stop in
the famous trail town of
Damascus, Va. If all is
well, Ill leave Damascus,
bound for Atkins 75 miles
further up the trail.
On this gorgeous morning, my food bag is tiny.
It holds instant coffee, a
few bites of dried fruit
and some homemade oat
bark. Oat bark, a cousin to
homemade fruit jerky, is
quite good. On the trail, I
filter my drinking water,
heat enough to cook my
dried meals and enough
extra for a cup of tea. As
I munch the last of my
food, Sparky happens by

His book addresses misconceptions about the religion and presents an overview through history on how
the nonviolent behavior of
Muslims has affected other
countries in a peaceful way.
It provides countless examples to support the idea that
the Islam religion means
peace and how threatening situations are dealt with
through nonviolent means.
Rockin with
Rhapsody
One example it mentions
is how Pakistans General Pervez Musharraf was
forced to relinquish power
in 2008, a result of the heavily populated country being
infiltrated by the strong, nonviolent activities of Muslims
and causing a shift in power.
Pals book explains how
Musharrafs support of militant groups to derail India,
his hatred for democracy
and his disrespect for womens rights created strength
among Muslims and Islam
as they unseated the dictator.
The Muslim league presided
over Pakistan as they sought
hope and the development of
a judiciary, according to the
book.
Around the same time,
non-violent Muslims and
Islam followers marched
on as they dethroned Asias
longest serving leader, Maumoon Abdul Gayoon of the
Maldives.
The liberating power
of nonviolence proved to
be too much for Gayoon,
and democracy prevailed,
according to the book.
But three years later, negative attitudes in America
prompted controversy when
Muslim leaders built an
interfaith mosque near the
site of the former World

Tainted attitudes
Though the followers of
the Islam religion represent peace, God-loving and
reaching compromises without the use of violence, Pal
said, such tainted attitudes
toward Muslims are widespread in America. Planned
mosques in California, Kentucky and lower Manhattan
all were condemned by the
public, Pals book explains.
He also noted what he
called an example of profiling, with the Los Angeles
Police Departments plan to
create a map detailing where
in the city there were high
concentrations of Muslims.
Changing this will require
American Muslims to do
more to educate people
about Islam, Pal said. Intense
media coverage of intolerance gives rise to more
young Muslims taking negative, violent paths, which
leads to further media-grabbing headlines, he said.
We have to emphasize the
alternative tradition of nonviolence within religion,
he said. Even if a few have
strayed over to the dark side
are prevented from doing so
by works such as mine, I will
have considered my project
successful.
