Lasting effects
Reminders of tornado still haunt recovering residents

Kimberly Wethal
Verona Press correspondent
For Bob Volkman, last years tornado is this years summer project.
Big trees still litter Volkmans Kettle Woods Drive backyard as a result
of the EF-3 twister that ravaged the
Cross Country Road and Kettle Creek
neighborhoods on June 17, 2014. But
he knows he and his wife dodged a
bullet, as some of his neighbors
homes really got whacked.
Its changed the view outside his
front door.
The green house, which used to be
yellow, it used to be surrounded by

trees, Volkman said as he gestured to
the house directly across from his. I
think there was a piece of a barn from
Nine Mound (Road) that was stuck
through their wall. The house behind
them lost their roof.
In all, 84 homes had some sort of
damage from the tornado, according to the city report, including eight
that had to be evacuated temporarily. It also shredded Country View
Elementary School, which required
$4 million in repairs, including four
renovated classrooms, a new roof, a
new gym floor and all sorts of school
supplies.
But fortunately, school was not

in session, and repairs were finished
before September.
Country View was the final victim
of the tornado, which touched down
shortly after midnight on the southern
end of the Epic campus and wound its
way north and east before exiting the
city and doing additional damage in
Madison.
In the hours and days after the
storm, Dumpsters and tree brush lined
Tamarack Way and Lone Pine Way

Letters to the editor
Add behavior category in schools

After reading "Discipline
reporting a work in progress,"
it strikes me that there are far
more problems with the system
than simple data entry or interpretation.
Consider that New Century had 241 "major" incidents.
Sounds awful! But read the
definitions, and things get confusing. The school could be
housing a horde of little arsonists or arms dealers ... or just too
many shorty-shorts. Perhaps a
rash of gang wars and alcohol!
Or, maybe, simply kisses in the
hallway and lying to the teacher. And so it goes. All of these
fall under the "major" category,
which I would argue render that
category meaningless.
This is by no means to belittle what teachers have to put up
with, or to imply that the actions
on the list should be ignored.
If the purpose of the reporting
is to generate data that can be
used to improve the educational
environment, I would think that
perhaps an additional behavior
category would be appropriate.
As a parent, I and many others
based on the recent reporting

in the Verona Press are most
concerned about significantly
disruptive behavior, which takes
time away from my kids for
teaching and Iearning.
We are also concerned about
behavior that makes our school
more dangerous. To lump these
behaviors with things that seem
to be more of an annoyance or
personal problem means that,
from my perspective, the existing discipline reporting system
is meaningless. I weep for the
lost hours undoubtedly spent in
wasted meetings trying to implement this system.
Finally, to close on a positive
note, I will add that sharing the
behavior list with my family led
to a lot of laughter at the absurdity of it all. So for providing
a good, shared laugh from ages
13 to 75, I thank the district! But
please try to do more than merely changing the shade of lipstick
on this pig of a plan, and move
toward a more realistic system.

We can evolve views and

be faithful to the Bible
The justices of the Supreme
Court of the United States are preparing to decide on the legality of
same-sex marriage.
They heard oral arguments nearly two months ago, on April 28,
and coming to a decision about
such an important and complex
question is agonizing to say the
least.
A book I just finished reading, The Bibles Yes to SameSex Marriage, by Dr. P. Mark
Achtemeier, tells of the authors
own struggle with this hot-button
issue. It runs
parallel to my
own, many
years ago.
Achtemeier,
a conservative
theologian, had
been an antigay activist in
the Presbyterian
Yurs
Church (USA).
He was instrumental in helping put into place
that churchs 1997 ban on the ordination of gays and lesbians.
But 14 years later, the Presbyterian Church (USA) lifted the ban,
permitting faithful gays and lesbians to serve as ministers, elders
and deacons. Achtemeier helped
lead the charge to rescind the ban
he had worked so hard to put into
place.
His book is the story of a change
of heart and mind, and it is a conversation with the Bible, studying carefully how it speaks to the
question of same-sex marriage. He
addresses everything from the passages that seem to speak against
homosexuality to those that note
humans are made to be male and
female.
Achtemeiers careful, scholarly
approach to Scripture brings him
to fully affirm what the Bible says
and still hold that same-sex marriages can be fully in accord with
Gods plans and ideals for marriage.
While Achtemeier comes to a
wholly new and liberal point of
view, he does not believe he has
wavered from being a conservative
theologian. He tests his whole argument against the high standards of
Scripture and the Reformed tradition many of us admire.
I was never the activist Mark

Achtemeier was, but I, too, moved
from being opposed to homosexuality to now openly affirming gays
and lesbians have a rightful place
in church and society.
My growing viewpoint put me
in the public spotlight in Verona in
1997. I was among 70 area clergy
who signed a document known as
the Madison Affirmation, which
does nothing more than call for the
fair treatment of homosexual persons.
A conservative Christian group
picketed some of the churches
whose pastors signed the Madison
Affirmation and spread leaflets
around the communities of others, including Verona. The leaflet
warned citizens against the wolf in
sheeps clothing serving a parish in
town.
Deb Harville, then editor of The
Verona Press, wrote an editorial
denouncing the flier and supporting me. My wife bought me a figurine of a wolf in sheeps clothing
that still sits on my desk.
My change of mind had occurred
in the late 1980s while I was studying the Book of Acts in advance of
a course of sermons I was readying
to preach at the church I was serving in Belvidere, Ill.
I saw the early Christians were
changing their viewpoints, faithfully diverging from the ways in
which they had been raised.
The New Testament put Samaritans and Gentiles in a new light.
Many of the earliest Christians,
Jewish in heritage, had been taught
as children to despise and keep
clear of both. But Samaritans were
brought into the Christian fold in
Acts 8, and Chapter 10 tells how
God sees the Gentiles in a positive
light and calls Christians to have
full communion with them.
I began to wonder if this kind
of new development in religious
thinking was what Jesus had in
mind when he said to his disciples
on the night he was betrayed, I
still have many things to say to
you, but you cannot bear them
now (John 16:12 NRSV).
The Rev. John Robinson, pastor
of the Pilgrims, referred to this just
before the Pilgrims boarded The
Mayflower, saying, God hath yet
more light and truth to break forth
from His Holy Word.

Surely, we have seen bits of that
new light and truth break forth
slowly and only as we have had the
opportunity and ability to receive
it. God sometimes seems to wait
until we can take new truth in.
Slavery is one case in point. The
Bible calls for slaves to be obedient to their masters. No Christian
would hold that viewpoint now.
And while there are still inroads
to be made on the status of women,
we have come far from the Bibles
command that women be silent in
the church. Denominations such as
mine have been ordaining women
since the 1840s.
It strikes me that same-sex marriage and openness to all in the
LGBTQ community fall into those
same categories something God
is opening us to only now because
we were not ready for it before.
We know the definition of marriage has changed over the centuries, and even within the Bible
itself. The patriarchs practiced
polygamy, and there is not a word
against it. Parts of the Bible inveigh
against marrying foreigners, but
Moses wife was not a Hebrew and
neither was King Davids greatgrandmother.
Arranged marriages are commonplace in the Bible, but they
seem to diminish in number toward
the more recent parts of Scripture.
The early church father Tertullian
was outspoken against remarriage
following the death of a spouse,
but such a practice is commonplace
now.
Mine is not to tell you what to
think or to convince you I am right.
Mine is only to witness to what I
believe and to give account of the
faith that is in me.
I pray for the justices who are
now engaged in the work of thinking and writing and talking this
matter through amongst themselves
and their clerks. I am grateful for
bold writers and gifted thinkers
like Mark Achtemeier, who are
able to speak confessionally and
help us see we can be both conservative and liberal at the same time.

pastor at Salem United Church

The Age of the Selfie

The term selfie, used to describe a picture one has taken
of oneself, usually with ones cell phone camera, is loaded
with insinuations of narcissistic self-centeredness, and
perhaps with good reason. The vast majority of the pictures taken throughout the entire history of the world have
reportedly been taken in just the last few years, with the
advent of the digital camera and its ubiquitous cousin the
cell phone camera. There are now small video cameras that
mount just about anywhere and enable their users to get
footage of just about anything, from skiing down an alpine
slope to deep-sea diving, which has added to our ability to
document our lives. But what is the point of all of this documentation? Are our friends and families that interested in
looking at all of these pictures and videos of us or are they
for our own viewing pleasure? Or do they really just serve
to certify that we were actually at the concert or visited the
Eiffel tower? Its nice that we can so easily share pictures
and videos, but we run the risk of missing the experience
in question if we are only interested in getting the great
picture or video, and perhaps more perilous still is the
prospect that a self-absorbed generation and culture will
become even more so. We would all do well to remember
that many experiences are best experienced by just being
there and dont need to be photographed or recorded.
Christopher Simon
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in
humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your
own interests but each of you to interests of the others.

CPA
ADVERTISING
Q. The IRS called and threatened me if I didnt pay them immediately. Help!
A. The IRS doesnt call taxpayers out of the blue and demand money. Its a scam.
If you have IRS debts in collection, you might receive a call, but only after multiple
mailings. The IRS uses the U.S. mail and hardly ever calls taxpayers.
Unfortunately, these scam calls sound convincing. And the calls are targeted at people
who are vulnerable the elderly and immigrants are their favorite targets.
The IRS will NEVER:
1) Demand that you pay taxes without giving you a chance to question or appeal the
Greg Andrews, CPA
amount they claim you owe.
2) Require a certain method of payment or take your credit card number over the
phone.
3) Threaten to bring in local police or other law enforcement agencies to have you
arrested for not paying.
If you get such a call, hang up the phone. Its a scam. Report the call to local
authorities and the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA.gov).

REAL ESTATE
Q. As a seller, how do I handle multiple offers?

A. Its a sellers market and things are very active. Weve run into the multiple offer situation
on our last 3 house listings. This is a good thing, but also a very confusing scenario for a seller.
Here are the possibilities for sellers:
Accept your favorite offer: If you have several strong offers, maybe one of them is perfectly
acceptable to the seller, in which case, they can simply accept it.
Counter one offer: Maybe you got a couple lowball offers and one serious offer, but you just
need to tweak some terms of the best offer to make it work for you. Then you could just do a
Keith & Kinsey Schulz counter offer to the best offer.
Real Estate Team
Multiple counter offer: The seller actually has the option to counter offer to all of the offers.
In this scenario each counter offer doesnt have to be the same. For example; you could counter
the price and the closing date to one offer, you could counter just the price to another offer, and
maybe you ask the 3rd offer to remove their home sale contingency. The multiple counter offer
is our favorite option because it usually has the best results for the seller.
am getting a lot of pain in my neck when I am

riding my bike. Would chiropractic or massage help
with this?
A. Whether you are riding a recreational bike, road bike, or

tri bike, the neck is forced into a position that puts pressure on
the posterior portion of the cervical spine. This position also
forces the neck to remain in a state of continued contraction
that can cause joint and muscle soreness. Chiropractic

adjustments will help maintain healthy joint mobility and
function. This will help alleviate pain and will prolong your
years of cycling. Therapeutic massage will help reduce muscle soreness and reduce any restrictions in
the neck caused by that continued contraction. Along with regular chiropractic and massage, exercises
would be recommended to help increase strength and mobility in your neck and upper back.

per week. Ive also been eating healthier foods. Why havent I seen a big change
in my weight yet?
A. During pregnancy, a womans body goes through many changes. Hormone levels often rise
dramatically and can cause normal, healthy gums to become red, irritated and swollen. This irritation, known as Pregnancy Gingivitis is the bodys exaggerated response to plaque and calculus.
It is very important during this time to stay current with your regular dental cleanings and exams to
ensure that dental infections dont get missed and lead to greater problems down the road. Although
dentists will typically postpone major treatment until after the baby is born, emergencies do come

Oral health care is essential throughout your pregnancy. Brushing twice a day and flossing daily will

A. Quick weight loss is a billion dollar a year industry because most people want to lose large
amounts of weight in a short period of time. However, proper weight loss is a long, difficult
process that takes determination and dedication. One should expect to lose 1-2 pounds per
week with the following: aerobic exercise of 30-45 minutes, along with strengthening and
weight training exercise, 3-5 times per week, and maintaining a diet of fewer than 1,500

20 pounds (which may have taken years to accumulate). Setting short-term goals, tracking
your progress, and thinking about the long-term results will help you stick to your exercise
program. If you started your program in January and wish to lose 20 pounds, you can expect to
reach that goal by the Summer months. Take pride in the fact that you have started to exercise
and are watching your diet; you can look forward to better health in the near future.

out if its up to you to observe what is happening in the nursing home or if a physician will be
relied upon for this task. Remember that google is your friend, check out the nursing homes
reputation and how it cares for the elderly. Finally, ask around. Ask your elderly relatives
physician what his/her opinion is on that particular nursing home. Ask around the community,
your own friends and family, and your relatives friends. You may find someone who has had
first-hand experience with that homes staff or treatment. Remember to always monitor and be
aware of your relatives living conditions and if you are uncomfortable about anything always
put the staff on notice. Ask questions and constantly stay informed of any changes.

Q. Should you diversify your investment risk?

A. Its important to recognize the various forms of investment risk and to avoid owning too
many investments that are subject to the exact same risk factors. What are the different types
of risk? For starters, theres market risk the risk that you could lose principal if the value of
your investment declines. Many investments are subject to market risk. Theres also purchasing
power risk the risk that fixed-rate investments, like Certificates of Deposit, wont even keep
up with inflation. If you own bonds, you could face interest-rate risk the risk that new bonds
will pay a higher interest rate, thereby lowering the value of your bonds.

Behavior: School board members seek to calm parents, students, concerns over policy
SAGE changes unclear
Gorrell said upcoming changes to a program
limiting class sizes are unclear.
A bill that passed both houses of the state
Legislature and is waiting for Gov. Scott
Walkers signature would eliminate the Student
Achievement Guarantee in Education program
the district has implemented at some schools to
receive extra funding and limit class sizes.
The program currently requires a ratio of 18
students to one teacher or 30 to two teachers for
grades K-3 to receive funding.
Gorrell said the devils in that detail of the new
proposal.
They havent come out with any type of definitive
interpretation of what it means, he said. As
we have more information ... we'll be obviously
spending quite a bit of time talking about that.
There will be no changes to the program for
the upcoming school year, as the district has a
one-year contract extension in place.
of the districts behavior
initiatives, specifically Positive Behavior Intervention
Strategies.
Dr. Dakota Erbe, who has
worked with Verona Area
High School administrators for the past year and
also recently began work
with Badger Ridge Middle
School, told the board there
is no silver bullet to fixing behavior problems.
Its not just retribution.
Its really about restorative
justice, Erbe said. The
end result will be a learning
process and a reintegration
into the community.
Board member Tom
Duerst said parents want to
know where the baseline
for discipline is and stop
disruptions in classrooms.
Its damaging to take

kids out of the classroom,
but its more damaging to
leave certain kids in the
classroom, Duerst said.
The handful is damaging
the masses more than the
masses and the handful.
Most of the board members questions for Erbe
focused on what the district can do in the immediate future as soon as this
summer to help calm the
concerns from worried parents.
At this point its a
mess, said board member
Joanne Gauthier. How do
we change that essentially
over the summer?
Erbe said thats not clear
without data. He explained
he has worked with district
Lunch prices up 10 cents in 2015-16

The Verona Area School
District again raised lunch
prices 10 cents for next
school year.
Its a pattern thats likely to continue for years to
come, VASD director of
child nutrition services Cindra Magli explained at last
weeks school board meeting.
You're going to see me
here every year, Magli
told the board.
A federal program
that helps cover the cost
of lunches for free and
reduced lunch students
requires a district to raise
its prices every year if it is
below the programs standard cost for a lunch. That

number is $2.70 for the
coming school year.
The new prices will
be $2.25 for elementary
schools, $2.30 for middle
schools and $2.40 for the
high school. Those are all
still well below the average
for school districts around
the area, Magli pointed out.
The exception to the
federal requirement is if a
school lunch program has
a three-month fund balance, something Magli said
would require a couple of
good years.
She also reported that
lunch program participation went down this year

by about 14,000 meals.
She said they are considering increasing options for
students to try and get that
number back up, pointing
to the Wildcat Cup piloted
at Core Knowledge Charter
School this past year as an
example.
Were looking at all
types of possibilities, she
said. If we can have good
participation at the elementary, we seem to hold them
into middle school and even
up into high school.
and get on board with that,

she said.
Erbe also said a key is
communicating the successes of programs to teachers
and parents something
that was lacking at VAHS
until recently.
I dont think, from my

perspective that folks at
the high school in particular
are doing a good job telling
the stories, he said. Its
just being intentional about
sharing the work thats happening.

aware of the discipline

issues for the districts
future students.
There are improvements
that need to be made in
your disciplinary system,
Ifediora said. If a person
gets reinforced for behavior, behavior increases,
and if punished, behavior
decreases. What our school
lacks is a balance between
these two approaches.
Fellow graduate Noah
Roberts who had spoken at a previous board
meeting on the same topic
expressed his dismay
toward a comment board
president Dennis Beres
made to the Press after that
testimony. Beres had said
he was disappointed people
felt they had to come to the
board with those concerns,
but Roberts questioned the
boards dedication to solving the behavior problems.
Not once have I seen a
single school board member at the high school during my whole career, Roberts said, encouraging them
to listen to the teachers who
have concerns. Do not
bring in administrators who
manipulate the facts, listen
to their optimistic report
and pass this issue off as
solved.
Those comments along
with a plea from the Verona
For Positive Change group
for the board and administrators to work with them
to solve the problems collaboratively came after an
hour-and-a-half of listening
to a behavior expert explain
the strategies behind some
administrators to teach
them how to conduct climate and culture surveys,
but only baseline data has
been gathered, and only at
VAHS and BRMS thus far.
He said that data could
show the entire picture of
the school, including who is
feeling unsafe or has problems with behavior.
You might have anecdotal information, you
might have students saying
that (they feel unsafe), he
said. Just because theres
people that are vocal about
it doesnt mean its an overarching problem for the
whole community.
VASD director of student
services Erin Schettler said
the district has to create a
survey for elementary students, but has a staff survey that could be given at
any time. She acknowledged the district has a lot
of training to do in many
areas.
The board also asked
Erbe if he had a recommendation on whether to
mandate staff take part in
behavior program training,
or keep it voluntary.
I wrestle with that same
question, Erbe said. Certain people require different
types of things in order to
be compelled to change.
He said a distributed
leadership model is likely
the best, which involves
teachers persuading other
teachers to get involved.
VAHS principal Pam
Hammen echoed that.

Year after: Damage, memories from tornado still remain for many Verona residents
that mimicked the look of
snow. The sidewalks were
crowded with homeowners attempting to clean
up their yards and collect
their belongings as curious onlookers pointed their
smartphones at collapsed
roofs and exposed drywall
to photograph the aftermath
of the tornado.
Now, a casual passerby might not even notice.
Houses have been rebuilt
and remodeled, and some
homeowners even turned the
event into a second chance
to pick out different colors
of siding and house accents.
But damage remains, both
physical and psychological.
In some cases, insurance
companies are still working
with clients to get their final
claims settled. And despite
the much-appreciated efforts
of volunteers, first responders and city crews in the
days and weeks after the
storm, there are still some
trees and building materials strewn about in hidden
areas.
For a few people, just
looking at their properties serves as a constant
reminder of the losses they
endured. And others still get
nervous or anxious when
they see weather reports.
As recently as April,
Cindy Bong couldnt even
stomach television footage of this springs tornado damage in Oklahoma.
Bong, who'd lost 19 trees
on her Cross Country Road
a thunderstorm occurs.
Resonating with Volkman the most is the minute
the tornado passed over the
top of his house, and the
moments afterward, when
he ventured outdoors to see
the wreckage.
Then the next day, all
the news reporters, he
said. Its the stuff you see
on TV, and youre living in
the middle of it.
Suzanne Qualia can vividly recall the moments
before and after the storm
tore her Tamarack Way
home in half while she and
her son, Justice, hid in a
closet, and she has been
doing so more often as
the one-year anniversary
approaches.
She remembers the pitch
blackness the sound of the
tornado and siren and her
mild-mannered golden
retriever spinning in circles
like a mad dog while she
looked on the ground for a
flashlight battery shed just
dropped. And she remembers the rain hitting her face
after the dog frantically
climbed over Christmas
decorations to reach the
back of the closet.
I can feel that like it
was yesterday, she said.
Its just a reliving of it;
its not a debilitating thing
like that. Its a testament to
how if youre in an event
thats very emotional, it just
sticks with you. I can recreate almost every moment
in that span of a minute or
two.
For Kathleen and Mark
property and had a massive

oak tree fall into her house,
had to simply turn the TV
off.
I never really expected
that I would react that way,
Bong said. Im sure Ill
get a little bit better, but I
think itll be really interesting to see how I react when
theres a warning or a watch
here again. Im pretty sure I
might get a little panicky.
Lingering anxiety
Even 3-year-old Harrison Hoechst has a colorful
memory of the aftermath of
the storm.
Piping in from the stairway while the Verona Press
interviewed his mother,
Harrison proclaimed,
There was a lot of Dumpsters!
While his familys memories associate the tornado
with fear and nervousness,
Harrison remembers lots of
cars driving up and down
the roads and knows his
family replaced its siding
on its Tamarack Way home
and got a new roof.
I dont know if thats
because of the stories
hes heard through us and
through others, or if he
actually remembers it that
vividly, Harrisons mother Sara Hoechst said. He
does talk about tornados
and, Remember when the
wind came? so I think he
remembers it, but its not
necessarily a bad memory.
The same cant be said
for his mother, as the storm

When the wind kicks up

have that initial feeling of,

as his wife Elizabeth now
becomes fearful every time
Happel, the lasting effects

of the tornado can be seen
in their children, who have
become more vigilant about
weather safety. Her youngest son has developed a
keen interest in weather as
a result.
Now if they hear a siren,
they pay attention to it,
she said. Youre trained
in school for tornados, and
wed never seen one even,
though you hear about it
all the time, but now that
youve seen it, the attention
is extremely there.
For Bong, she still has
difficulty pulling into her
driveway and seeing how
her big picture window now
has a clear view of Cross
Country Road.
Even now it feels
like living in a fishbowl
compared to what it was
before, she said.
She remembers the feeling of seeing all of those
trees and leaves covering
her yard.
It was just kind of devastating, Bong said. And
to see the tree that fell on
our house completely covering the roof and branches
coming down over the front
door it probably will be
a long time before I forget
that part of it.
Still recovering
Even though a lot of
people dont want to think
about the storm, some of
them still have to.

Year after: Twister destroyed four classrooms at Country View Elementary School
going through paperwork
for insurance, knowing she
couldnt make any more
claims after a year was up.
If somebody had told me
the day of the tornado that a
year from now youd still be
dealing with this, I would
have said, No way, she
said. It was much simpler
in my mind, but theres just
so many details.
Those details include
a house claim nearing
$250,000, along with another $100,000 in restoration
and replacement costs.
On the night of the storm,
the tornado swept through
her home, taking the front
portion of the house and the
garage with it. Water damage became an issue for
Qualia as the lack of front
rafters and the roof sheeting
exposed her homes interior
to the pouring rains that followed.
It was six days before
Christmas when Qualia and
her family finally moved
back into their house,
because her homes rebuilding effort was delayed by
six weeks without batting
an eye as her restoration
company dealt with administrative issues and overcommitments.
The human err was
worse than the natural
disaster, Qualia said. It
had an emotional and physical impact, truthfully.
Her family still has boxes
left to be unpacked and put
back in order.
Others are still wrangling
with paperwork, as well.
A day away from the oneyear anniversary, the permit
for Jane Knudsens barn
replacement was finally
filed Tuesday.
Knudsen was standing
at the sliding door in her
kitchen a year ago watching the colors of the sky
change from pink to purple
to green, when right before
her eyes, she watched as
her own truck went flying
through her backyard. She
ran for the basement, however, when she saw her barn
start to break apart.
The barn, which stored
vehicles belonging to
another person, has only
the cement foundation
remaining, leaving other
1,000-pound cement blocks
that formerly made up a
portion of the walls lying
around all four barn sides.
She doesnt know when
that will be done.
Insurance agents also
found themselves taking
several months to finish
claims due to long cleanup
processes for clients. State
Farm agent Sarah Drew
didnt finalize her last
claim until December 2014,
when her last displaced client moved back into their
home.
Drew, who started her
agency in 2012, had around
15 families in the Kettle
Woods and Cross Country Road neighborhoods
affected by the tornado and
processed six significant
claims, each totaling over
$50,000 apiece.
Drew said her clients
should be able to easily bounce back financially
because of the coverage
they had; she believes the
remaining recovery her clients will need to do weighs
more on the emotional side.

The house on the corner of Tamarack Way and Kettle Woods Drive
has received a new roof and a new color of siding.
Above, one of the classrooms destroyed in last years tornado sits empty on the first Monday of
summer this year, fully intact. Below, the the most damaged classroom on the day of the tornado.
Country View stays strong amid chaos
I think because of the

insurance, the recovery
isnt a real financial burden, Drew said. I think
(the burden is) the time
when you go to pick out
your stuff and new paint
to put your house back in
order.
I think our clients were
more emotionally drained.
They just want things to be
back to normal, pre-tornado.
A long cleanup
The Happels have finally
gotten there, but only after
the summer that wasnt.
In addition to having their
own house sustain structural
damage from the tornado,
leading them to replace pillars on the porch, Kathleens
mother Catherine, who lived
five houses down on Tamarack Way, had her garage
collapse from the storm.
The Happels repairs took
a few weeks. Catherines
took most of the summer.
Fortunately, dedicating
their summer days to cleanup became easy for Happels
because of their teaching
careers.
I think being off most
of the summer, we had the
ability to go down and paint
with the contractor and just
do what I could do, Kathleen said. People make fun
of me for not working, so
I said I like to paint, and I
did.
Municipal workers in the
city and town spent weeks
there, too, disposing of the
mass of fallen trees and
brush.
City public works director Ron Rieder said for the
first two weeks, he had 90

percent of his crew working overtime after their
regular day shifts. His team
was there within minutes to
push fallen trees and brush
out of the roadway so emergency responders could get
through.
I think primarily we
did very little pickup in
those first few hours, he
said. We didnt really get
involved with picking up
the debris until around 7 that
morning.
City streets superintendent Greg Denner was there
during the night to help clear
both city and town streets.
His crew worked with Alliant Energy to make sure
the power was off before
any debris was moved and
worked to move downed
power lines out of the way.
It was wet, and a very
humid night. It was a difficult work environment,
working in rain gear,
Denner recalled.
Rieder said his departments cleanup costs totaled
about $15,000.
Parks and urban forestry
director Dave Walker and
his department also spent
the days after the tornado
cleaning the parks in the
area of broken glass, insulation and other debris.
Bong used the City and
Towns tree and brush
removal services during the
first week, as they piled one
lane of Cross Country Road
eight feet high with trees
from their driveway to their
next door neighbors on the
first day.
The next morning, the
town and city came by and
#CountryViewStrong
The phrase became a symbol for parents
and supporters of Country View Elementary School in the months after the June tornado that tore apart one side of the school.
By 5 a.m. the day of the storm, district
administrators were at the school, assessing damages that eventually added up to
$4 million, most of which was covered by
insurance.
Its really kind of a surreal experience
that it actually happened, said Country
View principal Michelle Nummerdor. A
year has gone by, and it went by quickly.
The tornado destroyed four classrooms,
required a new gym floor because of
water damage, a new roof on the entire
building and a new playground because of
small fiberglass pieces that had become
lodged in some of the equipment.
Construction contractor Findorff was
also on the scene that same morning,
with crews working to remove the debris.
There was plenty of work left after that
morning, and the construction continued
at a rapid pace throughout the summer
and even into the school year in some
cases, like putting in the permanent windows for the damaged classrooms.
But the school was open Sept. 2 for students.
It was just amazing to be open that
first day, she said. Then the kids come,
and it was like almost as if (the tornado)
hadnt happened in some ways.
It was good to return to that normal,
Nummerdor said, after a summer that was
unusual for the teachers and staff.
Last year was a very different summer for all of us, she said, pointing out
that teachers were unable to come into
their classrooms and reflect on the previous year while readying for the next one.
Nobody went into the summer thinking,
I wont be able to come back into the
building, but thats what happened.
While there were moments throughout
picked it all up, taking it to
the Purple Cow Organics
recycling center on Range
Trail. They repeated that
each day for the rest of the
week. I cant imagine what
we would have done if the
city and town hadnt hauled
that away for us, Bong
said.
Lots of help
Bong also got tremendous
amounts of help from volunteers.
With four grown daughters who knew plenty of
people willing to lend a
helping hand, Bong had
around 15-20 people cleaning up her property, filling the road with brush and
debris each day for the city
crews.
Knudsen, just down the
road, experienced the same
phenomenon she couldnt
even count or name all of
the people who were out
cleaning her yard.
Memorial Baptist Church
also opened its arms to the
the year that reminded staff of the tornado

like when they couldnt find that one
thing for a lesson that had usually been
in the same place for years but might not
have been replaced after the tornado
the school had a mostly normal year. But
the tornado will be part of our history,
Nummerdor said.
Also part of the history is the support
that sprung up from the community,
including the entire Verona Area School
District and beyond. Through wristband,
T-shirt and bake sales, parents and others in the community stepped up to make
sure teachers and the school would be as
ready as they could.
We had contacts and donations from
people all over the state, some out of
state, Nummerdor said. That is the feeling that people hang on to. No matter
what happens, that level of support is
just very powerful.
But, the most important lesson she took
from the aftermath came from a thirdgrader the day the new playground equipment was installed and ready for use.
I was standing outside on the playground that had just been inspected and
released that morning before school started, she recalled. A third-grader goes by
me and says, Thank you for letting the
tornado hit our school, Mrs. Nummerdor,
we got a new playground!
Perspective, right?
Scott Girard
ravaged neighborhood, serving as a hub for organizing

56 volunteers from both the
church and the community,
providing food and water for
residents and workers during cleanup and opening its
doors at 1:30 a.m. as a place
of refuge for nine families
whose homes were uninhabitable immediately after the
storm.
Jane Vaughan, administrative assistant for Memorial Baptist Church, noticed
how grateful the neighborhoods were for the help they
were receiving.
They were in such shock
for so many days, Vaughan
said. They were so appreciative for the help, and just
(glad to) have people be
there.
In addition to the locals,
Home Depot sent out volunteers with supplies and a
Mennonite group from Ohio
made it their mission to
give help where they could.
Other local residents who
couldnt take time out of
their day to grab a shovel or

a pair of gloves found other
ways to make a contribution
through bringing food and
restaurant gift cards around
to residents who had no time
or place to cook a meal.
Someone offered us
fresh strawberries from her
garden, because she saw us
out there every day picking up stuff from the yard,
Kathleen Happel said. She
said, I dont know how else
to help you, so she came
with that.
Qualia, whos a motivational speaker, has used the
experience in her speeches
to show resilience and the
ability to receive help from
others.
I learned that at our core,
people really want to do
good, and they want to do
the right thing, she said.
Ive never been a good
receiver, and (it taught me
to) step back and receive the
gifts that others want to give
you, because A, you need it,
and B, they want to give.

Praise for results

Drake and VAIS teacher Leilei Song presented
results at Mondays board
meeting of a language test
given to fourth- and fifthgraders.
VASD director of bilingual programs and instructional equity Laurie Burgos
told the board after the presentation the results showed
students were on track to
meet a state standard for
bilingual students.
Where we would hope
students would be would
be exactly where your students are landing, said
Burgos, who sits on a state
commission that oversees a
program to recognize bilingual high school graduates.
That is just to confirm the
good work thats been happening there.
The results showed a
mix of results, with no
specific problem area for
all students. Song said the
strongest parts of students
Chinese were listening and
writing, which surprised
her, but is actually backed
up by research.
Listening and reading are the input (skills)
speaking and writing are
the output, Song said.
Students skill levels in
the four areas ranged from
novice low, the lowest level, to intermediate
mid.
