Walker budget
bothers board
Estimate: $1.7 million lost in funding, levy
SCOTT GIRARD
Unified Newspaper Group
Verona Area School District administrators and

board members are unhappy with many of Gov. Scott
Walkers budget proposals on education.
First and foremost, as the district understands it, his
proposed budget would leave VASD with a $1.7 million deficit in 2015-16 compared with the current years
funding level, VASD business manager Chris Murphy
said Monday night.
It would also force a drop in taxes. Even with a successful April referendum, the districts mill rate would
fall $0.68 to $11.36 per $1,000 of property value,
according to a document Murphy provided.
Thats because the proposal offers no revenue

Senior Kateri (right) and junior Cheyenne Trilling returned from knee injuries this year after missing all of last season. The sisters tore
their ACLs in their left knees in the same gym in Waukesha in June 2013. Now they are back and have helped lead the Verona Area High
School girls basketball team to an 18-2 overall record.

students Kateri and Cheyenne Trilling have more in
common than just being sisters and being an integral

The two girls also both

missed last season due to
ACL tears in their left knees.
But what is even stranger is
that Kateri, a senior, injured
her knee three weeks before
Cheyenne, a junior, first
injured hers in June 2013 in
the same gym.
I just thought it was crazy
how that could happen with

two sisters in the same leg,
Kateri said.
Now the sisters are recovered and have helped lead
the Wildcats to 16 straight
victories, an 18-2 overall
record and a No. 2 seed in the
WIAA Division 1 sectional 3
playoffs. Theyve combined
for 215 points this season

and are key contributors to a

Verona Police Department
Horstmann promoted to lieutenant

JEFF BUCHANAN
Verona Press Correspondent
One of the things Mark

Horstmann likes best about
working for the Verona
Police Department is being
able to mentor officers
with less experience in law
enforcement.
For the most part,
our department is pretty
young, said Horstmann,
who was promoted from
sergeant to lieutenant
Monday. That creates
opportunities to develop, train and

coach.
T h o s e
opportunities will likely expand as
Horstmann
Horstmann
transitions
into his new,
higher-ranking role.
The department now has
two lieutenants, and VPD
chief Bernie Coughlin said
the department plans to hire
two new officers and promote a current officer to

sergeant by the beginning
of summer.
Coughlin said VPD needed a second lieutenant due
to our continued growth in
population and calls for service.
The department has five
divisions: support services,
patrol and operations services, criminal investigations, front-office services
and administrative services.
Coughlin said previously,
he and his second-in-command Lt. Dave Dresser

were spread across all
five areas. In the future,
one lieutenant will be in
charge of support services
and patrol and operations
services, and the other will
head up criminal investigations and front-office services. Administrative services will be split between
the two.
One of the goals for the
Summerfest in Verona?
Not quite. But the Verona Area Chamber of Commerce is hoping to build its own music festival into a
regional attraction in the coming years.
The first step will be making the initial festival happen in 2015, though, and a key to that will be raising the
funds to pay for bands, said chamber executive director
Karl Curtis.
We want people from Verona and businesses from
Verona to have the first option to sponsor, he said. If
we could make this a 100 percent Verona festival outside of audience thats what we want.
The idea began as part of the chambers push to make
Verona an arts destination, as the Verona Area Community Theater builds its new facility. In a meeting at
the library with interested parties, Curtis heard from the
executive director of the Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra

Officials host town hall input session Officials plan

SCOTT GIRARD
Town of Verona residents

can let officials know what
theyd like to see in a new
town hall Feb. 23.
Town officials will hold
a public input session to get
feedback on initial ideas for
the new building, which will
be on newly purchased land
on the northwest side of the
town, on County Hwy. PD
west of Country View Road.
The Town Board agreed
to purchase 43 acres of land
at that spot in December.
The town has been working toward a new town hall
for years. It has patched up
problems with the current
building but avoided sinking

to improve handicap accessibility.
One thing a renovation
couldnt fix is the town halls
odd location. While its geographically near the center of
town, it located on an island
within the City of Verona
limits. The new location will
be surrounded by town land.
At one point, the town

considered merging with
the city, which would have
meant eliminating the town
hall altogether, but when
that effort ended at a failed
2008 referendum, the board
began saving money for the
project again.
Town administrator Amanda Arnold said
theres not a whole lot of
major changes in the new
buildings initial designs
compared to what the current town hall has, but a
couple of small features will
need citizen feedback.
A lot of what people are
going to see is a slightly bigger, better version of what
we have here, Arnold said.
But some features are
optional, including a proposed community gathering space, which Arnold
said could be used for larger
Town Board meetings, elections and possibly be rented

out for other events.
Arnold said she hopes
Mondays meeting will give
officials a chance to find out
what people value in a new
town hall, including their
priorities on the buildings
design.
Is long-term maintenance of the building the
highest priority? She said.
Is short-term cost the highest priority?
Initial plans call for the
garage to be separate from
the hall itself, as well,
Arnold said.
There are pros and cons
to that, she said. Having
people react to how we have
the site laid out is another
topic of conversation.
The meeting will be from
7-8:30 p.m. at Town Hall,
335 N. Nine Mound Road.
Plunge participation down in Verona ahead of Feb. 21 event

No VAHS team,
scheduling conflicts
for VPD
SCOTT GIRARD
Five years ago, the

Plunginators set a national record for the largest
plunge team ever and raised
more than $30,000.
This Saturday, Feb. 21,
there will be no Plunginators in sight, as VAHS was
unable to put a team together for the annual fundraiser
for the Special Olympics of
Wisconsin.
VAHS teacher Mike Ray,
who has helped plan and
run the high schools team
in recent years, said a lack

of available planning time
was the key to this years
breakdown.
Last year, the team also
had less participation, with
just 50 to 60 people on
the Plunginators team and
around $3,000 raised. Ray
said at the time he hoped it
was a stepping stone year
back to the record-breaking
days when more than 200
students participated.
Participation is down in
the other regular Verona
group at the event, the
Verona Police Department. This years VPD
team includes only three
officers, and newly promoted Lt. Mark Horstmann
wasnt sure any of them
would actually be able to
jump in the icy water due to
scheduling conflicts.
With schedules and stuff
like that, our involvements
a little more down, said
Horstmann, who has led
the team for years and is
also the chair of the Polar
Plunge committee, having
been involved with Special
Olympics for a large part
of his 20-year law enforcement career.
But the team, which also
includes Special Olympics
athletes Horstmann knows
and their family members,
is still the tenth-best fundraising team online, with
$2,625 raised as of the
Press deadline this week.
For the whole team,
were doing actually pretty
well this year, Horstmann
said as he looked at how
much they had raised as of
Monday afternoon.
Another Verona officer,
Matt Lovell, is also on the
team and chairs a subcommittee for the Polar Plunge.
Were pretty lucky in
even a small department
there are two of us that are
part of the planning committee, Horstmann said.
If we cant participate, we
might as well plan.
He said he hopes the
teams participation will
bounce back in future years
with new officers at the
department.
The plunge is Feb. 21 in
Madison. To donate to a
team or find out more information, visit sowi.kintera.

total of $149,098.

word on the April referendum.
Some are open to the

The question on the
April 7 ballot asks VASD
voters to authorize the district to take out bonds up

The ballot question is
different from what was
originally planned in

the property owner, Vanta,
could not satisfy all of the
contingencies on the original deal.
Vanta, formerly T. Wall

Sunshine need for Wisconsin elections

We have within our power the
ability to shine light on all money
spent in political campaigns. Citizens United, the infamous decision by the U.S. Supreme Court
that declared corporations as people, set a clear path encouraging
states to enact reporting requirements for money spent in elections.
Generally
money spent
in elections is
reported to the
Government
Accountability
Board and that
information is
available to the
Erpenbach
public. That
reporting however is limited
to express advocacy in a campaign. Ads that dont mention an
election date and dont say vote
for or vote against dont have
to report.
But we all know that every
dollar spent before an election
on advertisements is intended to
influence the outcome of an election. We call these ads so called
issue ads. We should shed sunlight on the money used to influence the outcome of an election, even if that spending is not
express advocacy for an election
but clearly is intended to help or
hurt one candidate or another.
The problem with reform that
directly affects elected officials
has been that once a person is
elected they soon lose interest in
fixing the election system. They
are afraid that if sunlight is shown
on who paid for the television ads
in their election, people may not

be happy anonymous money was
spent electing their legislator.
That assumption might be right,
people may not tolerate bought
and paid for by. So called
issue ads are run on both sides of
the aisle. They use union money,
international money and corporate
funds to pay for television, phone
calls, mail and radio ads.
I have worked through the years
and through the changing court
decisions trying to get this legislation passed in both houses of
the Legislature. The Senate has
passed it twice. For many years
this was a bipartisan bill; one I coauthored with Senator Mike Ellis
and Representative Dean Kaufert.
Both have left the Legislature.
But the issue remains and is in the
right thing to do so we will move
ahead, partnered with the likes of
Common Cause and the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign.
We may never be able to stop
the flow of money into elections
in Wisconsin but we can account
for every dollar spent through a
comprehensive reporting requirement 60 days before every election. Sunshine on money spent
will hold everyone accountable in
a fair and transparent way.
You too can make a difference in how election spending is
reported. Contact your Legislators today. For more information
on the Erpenbach proposal for
sunshine in elections please contact my office at 266-6670 or sen.

the spiritual battle Kyle must

have endured by doing his job
so well in protecting his fellow soldiers. American Sniper
seemed to confirm this tension,
as Kyle tells a Navy physician
who is testing him for PSTD that
he is willing to meet my Creator and answer for every shot I
took.
The movie used a parable that
really helped me come to terms
with what Kyle did. After a bullying incident when Kyle and his
brothers were boys, his dad tells
them about sheep, wolves and
sheepdogs.
Kyles dad tells them that
sheep are the types of people
who dont believe evil exists
and wouldnt know what to do
to defend themselves against it.
Wolves are predators who use
violence to prey on the weak.
And then there are the sheepdogs,
who use their gift of aggression
to protect their flock and live to
confront the wolf head on.
Kyle is the sheepdog in this
parable, and that is the salient
point of the movie.
I love parables, both Biblical
and secular, because they force
you to connect the dots to fully
understand the point that is being
made.
Of course, any parable that
uses sheep and wolves immediately brings to mind the teachings
and actions of Jesus. Whether or
not you trust Jesus as your Lord
and Savior, it would be hard to
argue that He was not a master
storyteller through the use of
parables.
The Gospel of John records
one of Jesus parables, titled:
The Good Shepherd and His
Sheep. The parallels with the
one Kyles dad shared with his
sons are obvious:
Jesus says: I am the good
shepherd. The good shepherd
sacrifices his life for the sheep. A
hired hand will run when he sees
the wolf coming. He will abandon the sheep because they dont
belong to him and he isnt their
shepherd. And so the wolf attacks
them and scatters the flock. The
hired hand runs away because he
is working only for the money
and doesnt really care about the
sheep. I am the good shepherd;
I know my own sheep, and they
know me. (John 10: 11-14)

Jesus is the sheepdog par
excellence, in the sense that He
has an overpowering need to protect His flock from the wolves
sin, death and the devil. His
weapon to protect the flock is not
a high-powered rifle but His very
life that He gave as a ransom for
many and the proclamation that
He made to His Father: I guarded them so that not one was lost.
(John 17:12)
Dont take this to mean Jesus
and Kyle are both sheepdogs who
use different methods to protect
their flocks.
Jesus is true God and true man
who never sinned and did everything perfectly. Kyle was a sinful
man who served his country and
performed a very difficult job as
best he could at the direction of
his superior officers and government.
I would simply say that war is
one of the greatest manifestations
of the sinful nature of mankind.
Jesus warned us that Nation
will go to war against nation.
(Mark 13:8) As such, we will
need those brave men and women who serve in our military to
act as our sheepdogs including
those seniors from Verona who
will swear to uphold the Constitution and defend it with their
lives if necessary.
I pray for the day when
soldiers like Kyle and young
recruits from our high schools
wont be needed as warriors.
I pray the Lord will mediate
between nations and will settle
international disputes so swords
can be made into plowshares and
spears into pruning hooks. Nation
will no longer fight against
nation, nor train for war anymore. (Isaiah 2:4).
Until that blessed day comes
when Jesus returns I will pray
for our military families and
serve them with the love of Jesus.
I will also thank them for their
service knowing that I am safe
because of the extremely dangerous work they do on my behalf.

actions people can take to
help slow the rate of future
climate change.
Changing Weather
and Climate in the Great
Lakes Region will share
important data in addition
to focusing on people and
communities adjusting to
climate changes.
Topics will include Great
Lakes weather, observed
changes in the climate and
societal impacts of climate
change.
Those who are interested
in registering should keep
in mind the class requires
about one to three hours of
work per week, including

watching videos.
Though MOOCs have
become commonplace in
higher education, no other
universities have taken this
kind of regional approach.
The university is focusing on Wisconsin, with
opportunities for face-toface encounters in community settings. Five of
the MOOCs have an environmental theme, acknowledging the states role as a
cradle of the conservation
movement.
The events associated
with each course are an
attempt to use the often
impersonal MOOC platform which allows people
to take free classes from the
privacy of their computers
to engage more intimately
with state residents.
Future MOOCs include

June 2007 as a sergeant

Continued from page 1
new position was to allow

us to more evenly distribute the workload in the
department, said Coughlin.
Each of the three finalists for the new lieutenant job approved more
than a year ago as part of
the 2014 budget was a
VPD sergeant. The other
two in the running were
Sgt. Jesse Christensen and
Sgt. Matt Dart. Candidates
went through a series of
interviews, including ones
with an external panel of
police chiefs and the Verona Police and Fire Commission.
All were well-qualified,
said Coughlin.
We had the luxury of
having three internal candidates, which made it a
competitive process and a
tough decision, he said.
You wish you could promote all three.
Coughlin said Horstmann was chosen because
he had diverse work
experience in different agencies and different functions within law
enforcement across (Dane)
County. He also possessed
prior training and experience in fire and EMS. He
was a very well-rounded
public safety candidate.
Horstmann joined VPD
in June 2007 as a sergeant.
He had worked for the
Town of Madison Police
Department from 2004

to 2007, and before that
was a deputy for the Dane
County Sheriffs Office.
He grew up in Oregon and
worked for Oregon Fire/
EMS as an emergency
medical technician for 10
years and as a volunteer
firefighter for six years.
Horstmann has also
earned awards twice in
the past three years for
his charity work with Special Olympics Wisconsin,
much of which involves
organizing volunteer
efforts and mentoring.
Coughlin said VPD has
an open recruitment process for the new officers.
He said that by the end of
May, the department will
likely have hired two new
patrol officers one to
replace the current officer that will be promoted
to sergeant and one new
position approved in the
2015 budget. Coughlin
said hes hopeful that a
single recruitment process
yields two new officers.
Horstmann said until
all these staff changes are
in place, his day-to-day
duties will be similar to
how they were before the
promotion.
For the next few
months, Ill continue to do
what Ive been doing as a
sergeant. I have officers I
supervise, Ill be working
the night shift and things
like that.

Saying the Unsayable

Words are a poor substitute for reality. When we are ravenously hungry, the word cheesecake doesnt do nearly
as well as the real thing. Likewise in the spiritual realm,
there are experiences of the divine which cant be adequately
conveyed in words. The sun coming up over a calm ocean
can fill us with such awe for Gods creation that only a fool
would try to put this experience into words, though fools will
rush in where angels fear to tread. The power and immensity of nature often fills us with feelings and insights which
are ineffable, though something in us always struggles to
express the experience. There can also be times when an
act of kindness or forgiveness is so morally beautiful that
we are moved to tears and simply cant convey how much
it means to us. The most important things in life, such as
love and kindness, arent about fancy words or how well
we express ourselves, although of course we can be kind
and loving or cruel and hateful with our words as well as
our actions. So, we should choose our words carefully, and
remember, sometimes the kindest words are those which
are left unsaid.
Christopher Simon
Words, so innocent and powerless as they are, as
standing in a dictionary, how potent for good and evil they
become in the hands of one who knows how to combine
them.

Budget: Other superintendents concerned

limit increase for districts
in 2015 and eliminates perpupil categorical aid that
was $150 per student for
the current school year.
Gorrell said he has heard
from other superintendents
who are concerned the cut
for 2015-16 part of which
would be returned in 201617 is to get school districts to spend down their
fund balances.
Weve heard in the past
that there might be some
move afoot to put some
limit on fund balance and
this might be some endaround to do that, Gorrell
said. So were going to
lower our Moodys rating
so we can pay more interest
to borrow money we need
to pay bills or were going
to pay more interest on
the debt we incur because
were building facilities and
so forth.
That fund balance could
be used to plug the hole,
but Gorrell said that money
contributes to low interest
rates the district has gotten
in recent years.
Its more than just funding, though, as administrators also expressed concerns with the governors
plans for ending the Badger Exam, a new standardized test implemented for
the first time this year that
aligns with the Common
Core educational standards.
VASD director of curriculum and assessment Ann
Franke said Monday night
the district put a lot of work
into preparing for the exam.
This is the part thats a
little disappointing, Franke said. To prepare for an
assessment of this nature
is quite a lot of time and
effort.
The test has had its
issues, as it reportedly has
come in over the expected
cost and will be missing
one of its originally planned
Photos submitted
Serious spellers
Seventh-grader Ethan Evensen, right, took first place in the Badger Ridge Middle School spelling bee, while seventh-grader Rose Cantrell took the runner-up spot. Evensen will compete in the
regional spelling bee in March at Stoughton High School.
Seventh-grader Vaishnav Kumar, left, took first place in the Core Knowledge Charter School spelling
bee. Fifth-grader Ryan Ochowski took second. Kumar will compete in the regional spelling bee at
Stoughton High School in March.
key features this year: It

wont adapt to how students
are doing on the exam as
they take it.
For the next biennial budget, DPI had requested an
increase in funding for a
statewide test.
While Walkers budget
would provide that funding, Gorrell said, it would
directly prohibit it from
going toward the Badger
Exam.
The exam was developed
with a consortium of states,
as Wisconsins version
of the Smarter Balanced
Assessment, a test that
aligns to Common Core
standards.
Those standards have
become an increasingly
debated political issue, as
governors in some states
call for its repeal.
Its become politicized,
and thats the part of it
thats become really disappointing, Franke said.
Walker, whose view on
the Common Core standards has shifted somewhat
during his time in office,
called for the Legislature
to repeal the standards last
year. This budget does not
call for a full repeal.
Gorrell questioned what
that means, as a test that is
different from the Smarter
Balanced exam would likely not align with the standards, which the district has
spent a lot of time putting
in place.
It calls to question
whats the reliability of the
results and the validity (of a
new test), Gorrell said.
The board discussed
sending a letter to Walker
and other legislators outlining its problems with those
and other proposals. Board
members expressed concerns with what they see
as a loss of local control
in this budget, specifically
with the inability to raise
the revenue limit if they so
choose.
I thought that idea was

to have representative local
government, board member John McCulley said.
What was the point of the
people in Verona voting for
us, to some extent?
The board looked at a
draft of a letter Monday,
but Gorrell and board president Dennis Beres are each
going to take another look
before the board likely
makes a decision on the latter at its next meeting.
The timing is important.
The board would like to
send the letter before the
Legislatures Joint Finance
Committee meets to discuss
the budget in March and
could remove or alter some
of the proposals then.
Retirements
The board approved early
retirements for two teachers
who total 49 years of service in the district.
teacher Randy Becker has
been teaching in the district
for 26 years. Glacier Edge
Elementary School teacher
Joyce Pfeiffer has taught
for 23 years.
McCulley moving
McCulley said goodbye
to the school board Monday
night in his last meeting.
He is moving to South
Carolina with his family.
McCulley had announced
the initial decision late last
year as his reason for not
running for re-election, but
they had been waiting to
sell their house in Verona.
McCulley was first
elected in 2012, defeating
incumbent Charyn Grandau
in a three-way race for two
seats.
Former board member
Tom Duerst is running
unopposed for the open
seat.

The Verona FFA Chapter will celebrate National FFA Week, Feb. 21-28,
with a theme of Go All Out!
More than half a million members
will participate in National FFA Week
activities at local, state and national levels.
The week-long tradition began in
1947 when the National FFA Board of
Directors designated the week of George
Washingtons birthday as National FFA
Week in recognition of his legacy as an
agriculturalist and farmer.
National FFA Week is an opportunity for FFA members, alumni and sponsors to advocate for agricultural education and to share the impact FFA has
had on its members.
During the week, chapters conduct
a variety of activities to help others
in their school and community learn
about FFA and agricultural education.
Thank You
Farmers
me and FFA!

National FFA Convention

Eleven FFA members from Verona traveled with Brodhead, Belleville and New Glarus FFA Chapters to the National FFA Convention in
Kentucky in October. Members participated in workshops, listened to motivational speakers and met new friends from across the country
while attending the convention. They also were able to go to Churchill Downs, the rodeo and a Justin Moore concert. Students had fun
and left the convention with new leadership skills and many ideas to bring back to the Verona FFA Chapter.
The Verona FFA Chapter competed at the District 15

speaking contest on Feb. 10.
Students competed in the following: creed (Sophie
Kooiman and Leonie Tollefson), prepared (Katie Fan),
extemporaneous (Michaela Jaggi and Keely Johnson)
and discussion (Heidi Mueller and Lauren Randall).
Kooiman placed first and Tollefson placed second
in the creed contest; Fan placed second in the prepared
contest; and Jaggi placed third in the extemporaneous
contest.
The first- and second-place winners will move on to
the sectional speaking contest in March.

Verona Area/Mount Horeb advanced one diver, two individuals and a pair of relays through
Saturdays WIAA Division 1 Middleton sectional.
Senior Kyle Wolmutt finished second to Madison West junior Matt Munns at Fridays diving
competition, scoring 481.85 points. His score
ended up being the second highest in the state
behind only the 523.95 registered by Munns.
Sophomore Jacob Wellnitz turned in the Wildcats top performance on Saturday, placing fifth
overall in the 200-yard freestyle (1:48.65). He
has the 17th fastest seed time in the 200 free and
will swim in lane four of the first heat at state.
Wellnitz was the only Verona/Mount Horeb
swimmer to carry two individual events on to
state, finishing seventh in the 500 freestyle in
4:56.83. Hes seeded 20th at state.
Jacob took a step up this year, Wildcats
head coach Bill Wuerger said. Last year he
swam at state just on relays, so to qualify at
state in an individual event was the next step.
The next goal is to finish in the top 16 and score
points for the team. Whether hes ready for that
this year or thats a year away, well find out.
Bryce Angaran finished sixth overall in the
100 backstroke (54.83) and is seeded 19th at
state. He matched his sixth-place in the 100
freestyle (49.59), but just missed the state cut of
49.52.
All three of the Wildcats relays beat their
seed times with the 200 medley and 400 free
both qualifying for state.
Verona/Mount Horebs medley relay of
seniors Glen Hook and Jimmy Conway, along
with sophomore Bryce Hoppe and Angaran,
earned the final spot at state after finishing
eighth at sectionals with their 1:43.03.
The Wildcats 400 free quartet of Cullen Meurer, Conway, Angaran and Wellnitz is seeded
22nd after posting a 3:21.85 good for seventh
place at sectionals.
It was the first time qualifying for state for
seniors Wolmutt, Conway, Hook and Meurer.
Being fully tapered for sectionals, Wuerger
said the results have been mixed going into state.
In the past, Id say its been mixed, some
have dropped time at state. Some are right their
seed time or little bit slower, Wuerger said.
Hopefully, we have a good week of practice
and everyone stays healthy. Every kid is different. Some benefit from a longer taper. Some not
so much.

Verona/Mount Horeb junior Bryce Angaran finished sixth at Saturdays WIAA Division 1 Middleton sectional meet
in 54.83 seconds. The time qualified Angaran for this weekends state tournament.
Wellnitz and Hook finished seventh in 1:32.96,

but just missed the state cut (1:32.14).
Top-ranked Madison Memorial won the sectional by more than 80 points, scoring 426
points. Second-ranked Madison West followed with 345, while the ninth-ranked Cardinals scored 294. The Wildcats (193.5) finished
behind Sun Prairie (215) in fifth place.

Senior Jackson Bryant had never finished

higher than sixth at regionals in his Verona
Area High School wrestling career, but he took
a big step in his final high school season at Saturdays WIAA Division 1 Stoughton regional.
Bryant not only pinned Oconomowoc senior
Nathan Haines in 1 minute, 46 seconds in the
160-pound third-place match, but he followed
that up with a pin over Elkhorn sophomore
Bryce Jacobson in 4:20 in the second-place
wrestleback.
It was exciting because I havent had the
greatest season, but to turn it around and get
second at regionals is a big accomplishment
for me, said Bryant, who improved to 22-12
overall. It is the best I have ever done at
regionals before.
That finish also gives Bryant a more favorable seed at sectionals and some momentum,
but it wont be easy.
Bryant will take on Milton senior Billy

six games last week with
wins over then-first place
Madison East on Thursday
and Madison La Follette
on Saturday.
The Wildcats moved to
9-7 in the Big Eight Conference (13-7 overall) and
sit in fourth place.
Head coach Alan Buss
said the winning streak is
due to more consistency
and less breakdowns during games.
The kids are just making good decision and are

really playing good team
basketball at both ends of
the floor, he said.
The seeding meeting
is Sunday, and Fridays
game against Sun Prairie
is going to be big to try
and get a top-eight seed.
Regardless of the outcome of Fridays game,
I am hoping with the
strength of our conference
that we can get into the
top eight but it is going to
be close, Buss said.

It didnt take long for the

girls basketball team to
jump ahead of Madison La
Follette Tuesday in a Big
Eight Conference game.
The visiting Wildcats
ran out to a 19-point lead
at halftime and never let
up in a 62-25 win, the 16th
straight for the girls.
It was a much better performance than the first time
we played them, when we
struggled to win by five,
head coach Angie Murphy
said. We executed from
the get-go, and it was a
pretty sharp game overall.
I think the girls took
good care of the ball, the
girls stayed focused and
when we subbed we didnt
drop off.
Many girls contributed
in the win. In the first half,
junior Cheyenne Trilling drilled four 3-pointers
and picked up 12 of her 14
points, and sophomore Alex
Luehring scored seven of
her 12.
In the second half, junior
Grace Mueller scored six of
her 11, and junior Heather
Rudnicki picked up eight of
her nine points in the fourth
quarter.
Verona also had scoring
contributions from senior
Kateri Trilling, junior Kira
Opsal, junior Alyssa Erdman, junior Cassie Hei and
sophomore Grace Schraufnagel. And that doesnt
even include defense and
passing from others who
were subbed in, including
senior Jenna Riley.
Everyone had their
chance to get in there and
contribute, and I thought
everybody did a nice job
today, Murphy said. I am
really proud of Jenna Riley
who came off the bench and
Junior Heather Rudnicki secures a steal and races for a layup in the fourth quarter Friday in a Big Eight

She got on the floor and

Lynx win four straight entering postseason

JEREMY JONES
Sports editor
The Middleton girls hockey co-op finished

out the regular season with a pair of victories
last weekend.
Lynx 3, Thunder 1
Senior defenseman Maegan Sheehan and
freshman forward Jenna Jurrens scored less
than four minutes apart in the first period Friday and sophomore goaltender Erin Webb was
nearly unbeatable in a 3-1 Badger Conference
victory.
Sheehan struck first, scoring just under
three-and-a-half minutes into the first period.
Jurrens extended the lead 4:17 later before
Rachel Pawlak cut the lead in half.
It would be as close as the Badger Thunder
would come to the upset, however, as sophomore Erin Webb stopped 13 of 14 shots on
goal inside Madison Ice Arena.
Senior forward Amanda Holman tacked
on an insurance goal against Barboos Jamie
Dutton, who had 50 saves, 9:42 into the third
period.
The win helped the Metro Lynx (10-8-5
overall, 6-0-4 conference) finish second to Sun
Prairie (14-5-4, 8-0-2).
Lynx 5, Appleton United 4

Lizzy Conybear and Holman each scored
a pair of goals Saturday as the Metro Lynx
held off Appleton United on the road for a 5-4
victory.
Holman drew first blood with a pair of power-play goals four-and-a-half minutes into the
first period to give the Middleton co-op a onegoal lead entering the first intermission.
Conybears first goal early in the second
period extended the Metro Lynx advantage
to two-goals before Appletons Lisa Cramer
scored three seconds in the third period.
Veronas Taylor Olstad and Conybear followed up the United goal, scoring two minutes apart for a 5-2 advantage. That was before
senior forward Molly McKeever struck twice
in a span of less than minute to pull Appleton
within a goal.
Webb played well enough to preserve the
win, stopping 12 of 16 shots. Appletons Mekenzy Hoisington turned away 19 in the loss.
The Metro Lynx enter the playoffs riding a
four-game winning streak after beginning last
week with a pair of road shutouts against Viroqua, 8-0, and Arrowhead, 7-0.
Third-seeded Middleton opens the plays
Thursday inside Madison Ice Arena against
the sixth-seeded Rock County Fury (7-16-1)
at 5:30 p.m. The winner advances on to face
either second-seeded Sun Prairie or seventhseeded Black River Falls (10-14-0) on Tuesday, Feb. 24. The time and location for that
game is to be determined.
Were starting to play our best hockey of
the season and I like our chances to make a run

Sixth graders go 3-0 in tourney

The Verona girls Wildcat Basketball Club sixth-grade tournament team took first place at a Southern
Wisconsin Basketball League (SWBL) tournament hosted in Albany on Saturday, Feb. 7.
The girls went 3-0 for the tournament, improving their overall tournament record to 5-4.
Regionals: Sectionals start at 10 a.m. Sat.

second, while Daniels (30-10), Coons (37-5)
and Powers (13-19) all finished third. Sabbarese (23-18) won a fourth-place wrestleback to
become the seventh Wildcat to earn a spot.
Getting seven through is a good accomplishment. We are pretty happy with where
we are sitting going into next week, in all of
the weight classes, co-head coach Jason Ott
said. You cant really complain about anything because guys wrestled at their ability or
above.
Johnson and Stauffer both made finals
matches and lost, but both needed a wrestleback to finish second.
Johnson fell to Oconomowoc junior Brett
Samson by pin in 1:19 in the first-place match,
but he came back and pinned Fort Atkinson
junior Cole Beavers in 3:26 to take second.
Stauffer was pinned by Elkhorn sophomore
Richard Heidemann in 3:13 in his finals match,
but he took second with a 6-3 win over Oconomowoc sophomore Chris Aschenbrenner in
the wrestleback.
Daniels won his third-place match in an
11-2 major decision over Elkhorn senior Connor Leahy, and Coons took third with a pin
over Stoughton senior Austin Benton in 1:38.
Powers pinned Sun Prairie junior Kody Sutton in 3:42, and he had a chance to place higher with a second-place wrestleback. However,
Powers was pinned in 22 seconds by Elkhorn
senior Bryce Fitzgerald and settled for third.
Sabbarese defeated Oregon junior Tristan
Williams 8-1 to win his fifth-place match, and

then he won a 19-4 technical fall over Oconomowoc sophomore Nathan Ackerman in the
wrestleback to earn his sectional berth.
Verona was without senior Eric Schmid,
two-time state runner up and state qualifier
for three straight years. Schmid could not participate at regionals due to a medical condition
and is done for the season.
Now the Wildcats look to get as many to
state as possible at 10 a.m. Saturday at Sun
Prairie High School at sectionals.
Ott said he sees four guys as having a very
good chance to get there, but it will all depend
on the mental preparation as opposed to the
physical work.
In this time of the year, it is not so much
physical work because we are where we are
from a physical standpoint and we are who we
are with our style of wrestling, Ott said. This
week, it is more of the mental work, watching
film and seeing what we can fix to improve
over this week.
Daniels will open sectionals against Lake
Geneva Badger junior Robby Mutimer (39-4),
while Powers faces Milton sophomore Levi
Garrett (28-8).
Sabbarese will go up against Milton senior
and regional champion John McCarthy (34-5),
and Coons wrestles Badger junior Nick Halpin
(32-11).
Johnson will begin sectionals against Wilmot Union junior Brody Steadman (6-8), and
Stauffer will face Beloit Memorial junior Karl
Saladino (18-12).
Sectionals: State begins at 3 p.m. Sat.

All told, the Wildcats
posted 16 of a possible 18
individual lifetime-best
times.
Hook finished the season
meeting his goal times in
the 200 IM and the 50 free
on the 200 free relay. Also
meeting their season goals
were: Grant Wightman in
the 100 breast, Conway in
the 100 fly, Angaran in the
100 back and Meurer in the
100 free as part of the 400
free relay.
State preview
Eight event champions
return at 3 p.m. Saturday
in the UW Natatorium to
defend their titles.
Sophomore Paul DeLakis
of Eau Claire Memorial/
North accounts for two of
those champions returning to defend their titles.

He won the 200 individual
medley last year and is an
overwhelming favorite to
repeat with a qualifying
time of 1:50.40, which is
five seconds faster than the
next closest qualifier. Hes
also the top qualifier in his
quest to repeat as champion
in the 100 breaststroke. His
qualifying time in the event
of 56.57 is almost a second
faster than the next swiftest
qualifying time.
Junior Ben Gebhart of
Madison Memorial won the
100 butterfly in 2014 and
returns to defend his title.
He enters the meet with the
third-fastest time of 51.62.
Gebharts teammate and
classmate Justin Temprano
is the returning champion
in the 100 backstroke.
Senior Nick Plachinski

of Cedarburg captured the
crown in the 200 freestyle
last year.
Junior Connor Rumpit

Senior Kateri Trilling (left), pictured grabbing a loose ball against Middleton in December, and junior Cheyenne Trilling, pictured bringing the ball up the court against
Madison La Follette Friday, have combined to score 215 points this season.
Sisters: Trilling girls help lead Verona after missing all of last season
said getting motivated for the rehab
wasnt a problem. The two really
wanted to play on varsity together
before Kateri graduates after this
season.
We both learned how to work
hard toward what you really want in
life, Cheyenne said. We just kind
of persevered, I guess, and really put
our minds to it to just get back to the
game.
That makes this season one to
remember for both girls, who are
managing to play about 25 minutes
a game. Their return has helped the
team weather the loss of three starters from last year.
I think it is amazing playing together because we know where each other is on the floor, Kateri said. We
have the chemistry to play good as
guards and everything.
From ACL tears, hard work is
what needs to be put in day-in and
day-out and the outcome will come,
Cheyenne added. It will show.
Driven to return
Besides both girls injuring their
ACLs in the same gym, the way the
injuries happened were also similar.
Kateri was going up for a layup
when she injured her ACL in an
Amateur Athletic Union summer
basketball game at Center Court
in Waukesha. She was fouled and
landed incorrectly on her left leg.
Three weeks later, Cheyenne was
playing a summer basketball game
in the same gym and was going for
a layup on a fast break. She was
pushed by an opponent and landed
wrong, popping her knee in-and-out.
They had surgery around the same
time, and both started rehab at UW
Health Sports Medicine Spectrum.
However, Cheyenne re-tore her
ACL months later while turning
and running after getting a pass and
had to start over. Meanwhile, Kateri
finished her rehab, but it turned out
she needed another surgery, so both
missed the entire 2013-14 season.
Verona still finished 20-3 last season
but lost in the regional opener.
Kateri said she knew she was
going to return once she was cleared
which was last summer but for
Cheyenne, it was not so clear-cut at
first.
I knew I had to put my mind to
it if I really wanted to play. And I
knew I couldnt have any days off,
Cheyenne said. I had to do what my
therapist told me to do and do it 3-5
times a day, which I did it five times
a day and never did anything less.

If I really wanted to play, I had
to put the work into it, regardless if I
was sacrificing time in other things.
Cheyenne knew that if she tore
her ACL a third time her basketball
days would be over, she said, so she
focused on learning correct mechanics to limit the stress on her knees.
We are at a higher risk of retearing it, Cheyenne said. So mentally, it was just being able to forget
all the bad things that can happen
when coming back and just focusing
on all the good things that have been
taught and how to carry those out so
we dont re-tear it.
Kateri also had to get over the
mental block that goes with recovering from an ACL tear.
I didnt run as fast, and when I
was playing in the fall before basketball season, I was barely playing any
defense not trying to cut too hard
or jab at the person, she said. I was
just working on my shot the whole
time.
Learning together
Even before both girls could participate with the varsity team again,
Cheyenne and Kateri were at every
practice, open gym and summer
tournament.
The sisters began taking notes to
learn all aspects of the game, even
the mechanics of routine plays.
That is a true team player right
there, Verona head coach Angie
Murphy said. They were at every
open gym, every tournament and
learning as they were sitting on the
bench and watching the other kids
play. They didnt need to do that, but
that is the kind of kids they are.
Being sisters and going through
the recovery together helped. When
both girls were going through Spectrum together, they held one another
accountable for the exercises and
work needed to get back on the
court.
We called each other out on
things when we were doing wrong,
Cheyenne said. And we would nitpick on each other like when you
need to be doing your exercises and
are not doing them. We were on
each others back all the time just so
we could recover and play.
And it still helps today, as both
girls will look at photos online after
a game and tell each other if something should be fixed by what they
see.
You just have to have confidence
with the work you put into it, Kateri said.
Once the girls did finally get back

on the court, she said, they worked
themselves into the team well.
They both jumped right back in
at full speed, Murphy said. Cheyenne is just really exceeding our
expectations. She is just playing so
well right now and really being a
floor leader out there. And Kateri is
such a defensive stopper.
They both bring so many different things to the table that we didnt
get last year, so it is nice to see and
have them both back.
Growing up
Cheyenne and Kateri have been
playing together since Cheyenne
was in third grade, minus a few
years when they split off into their
own age groups before high school.
The girls played in AAU together
for three years, reuniting in high
school on the junior varsity team.
The two also participated in the
Player Development Program yearround together.
But even when leagues separated
the sisters, Kateri still helped out at
practices for the Wildcat Club, and
they still played basketball together
on their home court.
We spent long summers out on
our basketball court messing around
and getting into lots of fights together, Cheyenne said. We would
play little games, and then one of us
would miss the shot and we would
just fight and it would be done
with.
But the fights werent bad, and the
girls said most of the bickering happens off the court.
Sometimes during practices we
will get mad at each other, Kateri
said.
But then it is a silent treatment.
It is nothing too big, Cheyenne
added.
But the sisters mostly cheer for
the others accomplishments and
like to remember moments they
believe have helped shaped their
high school careers.
A few years back, the sisters
helped the Verona junior varsity
team come back to beat Janesville
Craig. The Wildcats were down by
three when Kateri drilled a 3-pointer
to tie the game.
A little later in the game, Kateri
passed the ball to Cheyenne for the
game-winning layup.
That is a big teamwork, sister
kind of thing that happened, Cheyenne said.
The two also remember moments
each had by themselves. Cheyenne
said she is proud of Kateri for

scoring 19 points, including four
3-pointers in the first half, in a win
over Madison Edgewood in December
That was a big game for her, and
I will always remember that because
that is a huge part of her career,
Cheyenne said.
Kateri looks at Cheyennes 17
points in a win over Janesville Craig
in January.
We probably couldnt have won
that game without her shooting,
Kateri said. We both take our turns
at the glory.
But stats are not that important
to Cheyenne and Kateri. The two
mostly just enjoy their time playing
together, and both hope to be role
models to other girls much like their
idols, Shoni Schimmel who now
plays for the Atlanta Dream of the
WNBA and her sister Jude.
Like Cheyenne and Kateri, who
are registered members of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe in South
Dakota, the Schimmel sisters who
both played together at the University of Louisville are Native American basketball players.
Finishing on a high note

Now the girls hope to continue to
help the Wildcats excel this season
and potentially make a trip to state in
March.
Despite the teams youth, Cheyenne and Kateri said the teams
chemistry helps they have essentially played together since grade
school.
I just think that with the whole
team, we have a great bond, so that
is what made it easier for us to work
together and play together on a
team, Kateri said.
And that has quickly turned into
success for the Wildcats, with the
girls gaining confidence after every
win. And that became even more
apparent following a win over eventual No. 1 seed Janesville Craig in
January.
We can be the best team, a better
team if we all play together, Kateri
said.
If we continue to put that same
effort in every single game, we can
go far if we want to, Cheyenne
said.
But it doesnt hurt to have Cheyenne and Kateri back in the lineup,
Murphy said.
They are really gaining confidence, and we need them to score to
win so it is nice to see them taking
the shots, she said.

that they were looking to

do some kind of outdoor
festival.
It was just kind of (a
group) people being in
the same place, realizing
we had the same goal and
trying to make it happen,
Curtis said.
The festival is tentatively set for July 24-25, with
WCO closing the weekend
Saturday night with a new
performance of music by
the Eagles.
The ideal idea is to
have two or three bands
Friday and then maybe
have five bands on Saturday, starting at 2-ish,
Curtis said. The quality
of the bands improves the
later in the day you get.
Entry to the festival
would be free, Curtis said,
as ticketing and logistics
of crowd control would
have been extremely difficult. There would be food
and possibly beer vendors
at the event as well, though
it wouldnt be a beer tentstyle event, Curtis said.

The chamber is looking for large sponsors at
$2,500, $5,000 or $10,000
to begin, with a goal of
raising $40,000. If it
doesnt hear from local
businesses soon, it will
reach out around Dane
County, Curtis said.
Unfortunately we dont
have a whole lot of time,
he said. We need to start
booking other acts. Staging and other things that
have to be paid for.
Curtis hopes the event
can grow in the coming
years and be a real boon
for our restaurants, our
downtown businesses as it
brings an increasing number of people to Verona.
If we can pull this off
this year, over time we
would like to build this
into the premier region
music festival of southern Wisconsin, he said.
Weve got to get this first
one up and running.

PRESCHOOL
Q. My three year old is not very interested in his new baby

brother. I want them to be best friends. What should I do?
A. Be patient. Its a big change for a three year old when
a family adds a new member. Three year olds believe the
world revolves around them and a brand new baby who cant
play with them yet is likely not very interesting in their eyes.
Find small jobs that your three year old can do for their new brother to make them feel
connected. Refer to the baby by name as much as possible to help them start to view the new
addition as a real person. Take some quiet time and look at baby pictures of your three year
old with him and remind him that he started out as a baby too and has learned many things.

DENTIST
Q. What makes sugary drinks so bad for your teeth?

A. In recognition of February being Childrens Dental Health month, I thought it
would be appropriate to discuss why sugary drinks are such a problem for child and
adult tooth decay.
Everyone knows that the mouth is loaded with bacteria. Like all living things, bacteria
need to eat too. Bacteria love carbohydrates (sugars). When bacteria eat the sugars,
they produce waste in form of acids. These acids attack tooth enamel to cause decay,
especially when daily brushing does not remove the bacteria (plaque) and acids.
Dr. James Sands, DDS Sugary drinks provide the food source for these bacteria. Some drinks are extra acidic
and attack the enamel directly. A general rule to remember regarding sugars and carbohydrates is that its not just the volume of sugar that matters, but also the contact time
that the sugars/acids have with teeth.
In other words, one glass of juice every night can be worse than 4 glasses in a single
day.
Brushing and flossing is the most important step in preventing tooth decay but diet is
a very close second and in young children may be the key to preventing tooth decay.

PUBLIC HEARINGS: State Trunk Highway System Change, Jan. 28; Draft environmental
assessment, WisDot, Jan. 28; WHEDA, 5-Year and Annual Plans, Feb. 1.
10 years ago
There were several outbreaks of pertussis, also known
as the whooping cough, in the
Verona Area School District.
High school students are
more susceptible to the disease because the vaccine
given to them to fight pertussis when they were younger
had worn off. To make up for
this, the school nurse, Kathy
Brockman, took measures to
try and stop the outbreak.
Brockman kept a close eye
on the sports teams and other
extracurricular activity groups.
If she noticed one of the students had pertussis, she sent
a letter home to anyone in the
group to warn their families.
Brockman even purchased a
water bottle for each swim
team member.
The school board began
working on plans for a
February referendum to allow
the construction of a new elementary school. That school
would eventually become

Glacier Edge.
The Board of Education
approved a $44,177,792 budget, which was slightly higher
than the district had anticipated.
After years of efforts of restoration projects, the 19-mile
stretch of the West Branch
Sugar River was removed
from the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agencys list of
degraded waters.
The city objected to two
rezoning petitions to build new
houses in the Town of Verona,
near Prairie Circle and Shady
Bend. Dane County would be
the final word on the matter,
which is not the case anymore.
The girls swim team finished seventh at the Division
1 state championships, led
by a fourth-place finish from
Amie Osten in the 100-yard
backstroke and two sixth-place
relay teams.
Angie Murphy began
coaching her first season with
the Wildcat girls basketball
team.
Verona locals Richard and
Susie Balousek celebrated their
40th wedding anniversary.
Two local Verona couples,
LaVerne and Pearl Hagemann
as well as Ronald and Shirley
Sailing, celebrated their 50th
wedding anniversary.

Verona entrepreneur
Richard Kammer was the high
bidder for the former Camp
Badger School, which the
Verona school district stopped
using as a school in 1971.
The district planned to use
the $50,000 toward the purchase of another school site.
The Town of Fitchburg,
which at one point tried to
rezone the property to force
the district to sell the site to
the town, was not one of the
bidders.
Village voters turned down
plans for a community building, voting 438-315 in a referendum against spending
$485,000, including furnishings.
Veronas cross country
team won Veronas first state
championship in any sport,
taking the Class B title. Bill
Markwardt finished first place
overall.
A second fire in six months
at the Paoli home of George
Little destroyed most of the
residence, doing $20,000 in
damage. It was believed to
have started in the area of the
dryer.
The Verona Truck Stop
began an expansion project,
with plans to sell cheese, sausage and baked goods in the
new area next to the existing
restaurant.
Verona school taxes went
up nearly 10 percent, with
Town of Fitchburg voters taking the biggest increase and
paying the biggest share.
Overall, taxes in Verona
went up $140 on an average
$20,000 home.

USPS: Clear your sidewalks
ConnectVerona.com
February 19, 2015
Keep letter carriers

safe as they deliver
mail this winter
To help letter carriers safely deliver mail,
the U.S. Postal Service is
asking customers to clear
snow and ice from sidewalks, stairs and mailboxes.
Snow and ice can make
delivery dangerous and
slow, the USPS said in a
news release.
Maintaining a clear
path to the mail box
including steps, porches, walkways and street
approach will help letter
carriers maintain consistent delivery service and
help them get those cards
and packages delivered in
time for the holidays, the
release read.
Customers receiving
door delivery should make
sure their sidewalks, steps
and porches are clear.
Customers receiving
curbside delivery should
remove snow piles left by
snow plows to keep access

to their mailboxes clear
for letter carriers.
Delivery service may be
delayed or curtailed whenever streets or walkways
present hazardous conditions for letter carriers
or when snow is plowed
against mailboxes.
The Postal Service curtails delivery only after
careful consideration, and
only as a last resort, the
news release read. Any
curtailed mail is attempted
the next delivery day.
Blue collection boxes also need to be kept
clear for our customers to
deposit their mail and for
the Postal Service to collect the mail for delivery.
Residents and businesses with collection boxes
near their property are
asked to keep them clear
of snow and ice.
The Postal Service
receives no tax dollars for
operating expenses and
relies on the sale of postage, products and services
to fund its operations.

Chocolate tasting
Emma Thompson, 16, tries a chocolate wafer at a chocolate tasting for teens held at the Verona Public Library on Feb. 11. About
65 people showed up within the first 15 minutes, so many of the
snacks were quickly eaten up.
Among the types of chocolate were different flavors of thin wafers.

PHYSICAL THERAPY
Q. Question: How long has Stellar Rehab been in Verona and what services do you provide?
A. Stellar Rehabilitation, LLC has celebrated its 11 Anniversary! Stellar opened its doors on January 19, 2004 in the Prairie Oaks
My 10 year old daughter was recently diagnosed with a slight

scoliosis. Is there anything that can be done to help correct this?
The cause of scoliosis is not completely understood, however, there are chiropractic and
massage therapy treatments that work to facilitate a more normal spinal development. Scoliosis is
a condition seen in 3-5 of every 1000 children and affects girls between the ages of 10-16, seven
times that of boys of the same age. Chiropractic treatment involves adjustments of the vertebrae
that are turning or twisting, essentially assisting the bone in a more normal developmental process.
In conjunction with this chiropractors will prescribe certain strength and flexibility exercises. These
Jill Unwin,
exercises are designed to strengthen the weak side of the spine and create flexibility on the tight
D.C., C.C.E.P
side of the spine. This helps create a better balance in the muscles, which again helps in the spinal
development. Massage Therapy can also be beneficial for scoliosis. Massage Therapy works to release the muscle on the
inside or concave side of the spine in order to reduce the tension of the muscles that are pulling the spine. Early detection is
key to preventing years of suffering, however if a scoliosis is determined you must act immediately to help hold the line on its
development. If you have concerns about your childs spine please contact us for a free screening.

HEATING/COOLING
Q. What Can I do after a motor vehicle accident to get a fair settlement?
Q. My furnace is not working. Is there anything I should do before calling for
Motor Vehicle Accidents- Protecting Your Rights to a Fair Settlement
service?
First be sure that the thermostat is in the heat position and the temperature is set above
the indoor temperature. Next, check for power at the furnace by turning the fan switch (on the
thermostat) to the on position. If the furnace blower does not turn on, check the circuit breaker
for the furnace and the switch at the furnace, to ensure they are on. Also check the air filter to
ensure it is clean. If you have LP gas or oil heat, ensure that you have sufficient fuel. Some LP
gas furnaces have pressure switches that will not allow the furnace to run if the tank is low on
fuel. Even though the water heater sitting right next to the furnace lights and runs, the pressure
may be too low to allow the furnace to light. If you have a high efficiency gas furnace with pvc
vent pipes, be sure that the piping is clear of obstructions such as snow, birds or rodent nests.
Also look to see if there are any flashing diagnostic lights on your furnace. For all your heating
and air conditioning questions, contact Dave at OK Heating and Air Conditioning.
A. After you have been in a motor vehicle accident you may be wondering what steps you should take to
reach a fair settlement. Always make sure to call the police to ensure that there is a police report on file. When
the police officer arrives make sure to speak to him/her and relate your version of events. This will come in
handy at a later date if the other involved party denies liability. Next, take photos! Take photos of your own
vehicle and all other vehicles involved in the collision. These photos will aid you to produce as evidence and
may help show the other drivers negligence. It is important that even if you do not believe yourself to be injured, to call an ambulance to the scene. In this way there will be a record of treatment if your injuries manifest
themselves at a later date. Take down the other drivers info including: name, address, insurance information
along with contact info of anyone else who witness the accident. Lastly, make sure to document any bruises,
injuries, and your feelings that show up in the days following the incident. Remember, the more information
you leave the scene with, the more helpful it will be down the road when looking for a fair settlement.

Q. Can you give me 10 reasons why I should use a CPA this year
Q. Whats happening with mortgages recently?

A. After several years of tight lending, things have changed and lenders have
Keith & Kinsey Schulz

Real Estate Team
started to loosen mortgage qualification requirements. In December, Fannie

Mae and Freddie Mac announced that they would be offering a 3% down
payment mortgage option, reduced from their previous 5% down requirement.
Lending institutions are reducing overlays, which are added restrictions that
often add requirements above and beyond the minimum standards for a loan
program. Also, FHA committed to reduce mortgage insurance premiums
on their loan program, and interest rates are still near record lows. This
combination of things is going to make a great year for the first time home
buyer and will likely put more upward pressure on home prices.

Q. How often should I check on my elderly neighbor/loved one?

A. In the warmer weather, its often easier to notice your elderly neighbors
Q. What is a cornice?
A. Cornices (sometimes called pelmets) are constructed boxes with a top, sides and
because they can be seen sitting outside or doing their gardening, etc. In the
winter, its much different! Seniors tend to stay inside where its warm in
the winter months. A phone call and a knock on the door once or twice a
week will help you know he/she is safe, and also help your elderly loved
one feel safe too.
Did you know that Four Winds Assisted living offers a safe respite setting? If you are the caregiver,
you can be at peace when away on vacation or a long weekend without worrying about your senior.
The benefit of respite is not only piece of mind for you and your senior, it also promises health care
monitoring, fun and safe activities, and plenty of socialization!
Better Care. Better Living.

A:
1) You own a business

2) Your kids are in college (multiple choices for credits/deductions)
3) You sold investments (Form 8949 AND Schedule D?)
4) The IRS sent you a notice last year.
5) You moved, got married or had a child.
6) Lifes too short to spend time keeping up with IRS forms!

As a driver, youve no doubt welcomed the low oil prices, as theyve translated to less
expensive trips to the gas station. But is cheap oil good for you as an investor?
Its possible. When everyone spends less on gas, they have more money available to spend on
goods and services so you and your fellow citizens are likely adding billions of dollars to the
economy. Typically, a strong economy is good for the financial markets and for investors.
Still, the drop in oil prices may affect different market sectors in different ways. For example,
Brendon Diers, AAMS consumer goods companies may do much better than energy companies.
Financial Advisor
While you may be tempted to adjust your investment mix in response to whats happening
with oil, you shouldnt let one specific development, such as a decline in oil prices, lead you to reconfigure your entire
portfolio. Things change rapidly in the financial world, and no one can predict what the future may bring so youll
help yourself by following a consistent, long-term investment strategy.

for a tailored look. Theyre popular with many decor styles, and dress up any plain
window affordably. Add wooden trim, tassels, metal upholstery nails, banding & braids

Q. Is There Help For My Dads Hearing Loss?

A. About one-third of Americans between the ages of 65 and 74 have hearing problems.
About half the people who are 85 and older have hearing loss. Whether a hearing loss is
small (missing certain sounds) or large (being profoundly deaf), it is a serious concern.
If left untreated, problems can get worse. Hearing loss can affect your life in many ways.
You may miss out on talks with friends and family. On the telephone, you may find it hard
to hear what the caller is saying. At the doctors office, you may not catch the doctors
Stephen Rudolph
words. Sometimes hearing problems can make you feel embarrassed, upset, and lonely.
FACHE, CSA
Its easy to withdraw when you cant follow a conversation at the dinner table or in a restaurant.
Its also easy for friends and family to think you are confused, uncaring, or difficult, when the problem may be that
you just cant hear well. If you have trouble hearing, there is help. Start by seeing your doctor. Depending on the
type and extent of your hearing loss, there are many treatment choices that may help. Technology has come a long
way! Hearing loss does not have to get in the way of your ability to enjoy life. - Steve Rudolph - 01.2015
