Signaling a change
Vehicles drive through the intersection at East Verona Avenue and Lincoln Street where stoplights from each direction and new lanes were recently
installed across from the Verona fire station. Soon, a traffic signal preemption system will be connected with the station to halt conflicting traffic and
give emergency vehicles the right-of-way so they can respond to calls more quickly and safely. Verona Fire Department chief Joe Giver said that City of
Madison Traffic Operations will need to test the system first, but it should be operational within a couple of weeks.

Salt: Feedback on shed location, design can be shared at quarterly open house meeting
Continued from page 1
some of the options it
became clear that not all of
them were viable alternatives.
For various reasons, a
lot of them wouldnt work,
Burns said.
However, one site that
McGilvray and Burns
mentioned is the countyowned land at the former
compost facility across the
street from the WisDOTproposed site on Maple
Grove Road. The county
ceased operations there in
June 2014 after the City
of Madison made plans to
send compostable waste to
a company in DeForest.
Burns told the Press Tuesday that Dane County highway staff seemed agreeable
to a plan to use the old compost site, but the WisDOT
has a directive to build these
types of facilities on stateowned land.
Shed appearance
Part of the concern about
the salt sheds location is
that it would be highly visible as drivers made their
way into the city. The shed
would be 45 to 50 feet tall,
according to a March 27
project update from engineering firm Strand Associates. The site includes
a hill, but Burns said hes
asked WisDOT to consider
cutting into the hill rather
than building on top of it.
Thiessen said WisDOT
staff have worked with the
city for the past five months

Design project staff
have been working with
City of Verona officials on
the building appearance/
aesthetics and landscaping around the salt shed,
Thiessen said. We continue to coordinate with the
City of Verona.
To that end, Burns said
WisDOT staff have offered
to include a non-standard
design that looks more like
a barn than a typical salt
shed found along the states
highway systems. Burns
said he wants to be sure that
the building is attractive if
its going to be visible.
Were looking at ways
to enhance the appearance, Burns said, adding
that grading plans have also
been reviewed as a way to
hide part of the building.
Anything that can be done
to tuck the building into the
The proposed salt shed could sit on top of a hill, but Verona city administrator Bill Burns has asked WisDOT official to try to tuck the
building into the hill. Updated grading plans were not available Tuesday, but a public meeting where people can meet with WisDOT staff is
planned for Sept. 24 in Fitchburg.
Planning process
While there are concerns
about the looks and location
of the salt shed, McGilvray
said he was also displeased
with the planning process.

A sacred pilgrimage
or a walk of shame?
A
s my wife tugged my
shoulder, she urged me on
impatiently.
Come on, come on just a little
bit further!! she said. My uncle
was at this bar last night, and he
said there were a bunch of fights,
so I want to see what its like
today.
I quickened my pace but not my
expectations.

enough Freakfests and Willy
Street block parties to know Im

is this much
excitement in
San Ramon.
We sped up the sidewalk toward
the bar. There was music blaring in
the parking lot and a DJ reminding
patrons they could only consume
alcohol if they were under the tent
surrounded by police officers.
We figured we might see some
blood on the wall or teeth on the
floor and even though it was a
Sunday morning, maybe another
throwdown.
However this wasnt like a Summerfest concert, or even the beer
tent at Hometown days. This was
part of the annual Lady of Los
Angeles pilgrimage, a Catholic tradition that involves people walking
to the basilica from all over Costa
Rica to pray to the Lady of Los
Angeles and ask for help and guidance.
The street party was completely
unaffiliated with the tradition, of
course, but it was obviously taking advantage of it. And it wasnt
unusual.
The condensed version of the
Lady of Los Angeles story goes

Reconsidering Columbus
When I was a schoolboy, in the 1960s, Christopher Columbus
was celebrated as the heroic discoverer of America, and every
child knew that Columbus sailed the ocean blue in fourteenhundred ninety-two. By the 1980s, when I was in college, history was no longer taught as if the great explorers were heroes.
Their exploits were subjected to reasonable criticism, and the
fact that Columbus (and most other explorers, if we are to be
honest) were seeking wealth and slaves took the luster off of
their image. It is worth noting that even in Columbuss own time
his treatment of the native Americans was subject to criticism.
But perhaps we shouldnt judge Columbus too harshly. In the
late 1400s slavery was still a near universal practice, Columbus
had a lot of bad apples among his crew, and some of the Indians Columbus encountered were hostile. Furthermore, Columbus really did see his role at least partly as spreading Christianity
to a benighted race of people who he thought would make good
Christians. Columbus belonged to the Franciscan third order and
he took to wearing the monks robe after his third voyage, which
he returned from in chains. After successfully defending himself,
he spent time in a Carthusian monastery, where he wrote a Book
of Prophecies which attempted to place his explorations within
a larger divine plan. Columbus genuinely believed that he was
doing the will of God, and so maybe this year on Columbus Day
we should take a closer look at his exploits and his legacy.

Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the
ends of the world.

The policies related to
using the accounts, specify what is appropriate
for the district accounts,
as opposed to personal
accounts of teachers or staff
members.
The rules for personal
accounts, which are in a
separate policy, include that
employees have no expectation of privacy when
using social media sites/
online forums because
the information could be
accessed by parents, students, coworkers or members of the public. It also
prohibits them from communicating with families
and students regarding
school or District-related
matters through personal
social media accounts,
blogs, etc.
When communicating
via online social media, it
is important for employees to remember that their
conduct represents the District and any information
posted or exchanged should
always be in the best interests of serving the District

Another policy the board
discussed outlines rules surrounding use of the district

Kloepping cited apparel
at a grocery store that had
the districts logo and promoted Verona schools,
even though the district had
not approved that use.
When she found out
VASD did not have a policy governing outside use,
she worked to set one up.
Board members supported
the idea of giving Kloepping or superintendent
Dean Gorrell the ability to
approve outside uses.

Keepers offer regular updates to families about the elders well-being and with that, assurance
that the elder is receiving the best possible care.
In addition to peace of mind, home care providers can deliver a wide range of services, working
with elders and their families to create care plans that meet their specific needs. These individual
care plans allow elders the opportunity to age in place, safely and securely. In-home care services
provide support to help preserve elders' dignity and independence as well.
Homecare offers housekeeping and personal care services. Housekeeping services include light

not be an immediate need for all of these services now, but the great thing about home care is that it offers plenty of options
that can be added or modified as needs change all in the comfort of home.

can erode your purchasing power. This is of special concern during your retirement years.
One step you can take is to include an inflation assumption in your calculations of how
much annual income youll need. Also, even during your retirement years, you will need to
own some investments, such as stocks and stock-based mutual funds, with enough growth
potential to help keep you ahead of inflation. Be aware, though, that stocks will fluctuate in
value, so you should only own an amount appropriate for your risk tolerance. And you dont
even have to rely solely on stocks to combat inflation. You could also consider Treasury
Brendon Diers, AAMS Inflation-Protected Securities or TIPS. TIPS are designed so that principal and interest

payments rise and fall with the inflation rate. Work with your financial advisor to help
decide what moves are right for you to help protect your retirement income from inflation.
It may be a hidden threat, but you dont want to ignore it.

A.
A. If you are a renter, you may have notice the cost of your rent keeps
creeping up. According to rentjungle.com, the average price of a 2 bedroom
apartment in the Madison & Verona area is currently $1140 per month, and
5 years ago it was $929 per month. This is an increase of almost 23% over
5 years. The rental price increase is partly due to inflation which was about
8.5% over the same timeframe. However, much of the increase is due to good
old economic supply and demand. Vacancy rates of rental units in the first
half of 2015 averaged 2.9%. As a result, renters are having a difficult time
finding affordable rentals and property managers having no problem filling
rentals or raising rates. Buying a home is a great way to lock in your future
housing costs and prevent paying that annual rent increase.
Death and taxes, they say, arent optional. As your income rises, the reality of our
progressive tax system really starts to bite.
Within limits, there are things you can do to defend yourself against high taxes. Retirement
plans are a great way to hold down your overall tax bill. There are many flavors of IRA, 401k,
etc., to choose from and multiple strategies to maximize your tax benefits.
Insurance products can also be helpful, offering tax deferred - and perhaps tax free growth.
Health Savings accounts are becoming more popular and are particularly under-utilized as a
tax savings vehicle, in my opinion.
If you earn the income, taxes will be due. Planning can help you anticipate and limit your taxes.
As we help taxpayers prepare their 2015 returns, we try to help them think about ways to hold
down their taxes in the future.

and pet dander. These filters were originally developed for people with allergies,
but are often used as a good general purpose air cleaner. The last type of air cleaner
is the electronic type. They filter out the smallest of particles like smoke, viruses
and bacteria. These are the best choice for anyone with asthma, or otherwise interested in providing the cleanest environment. Beyond efficiencies, the frequency

PHYSICAL THERAPY
a bone. It is contained within a covering, called the tendon sheath, which allows the
tendon to slide easily when the muscle contracts and relaxes. Tendonitis (or tendinitis)
occurs when the tendon becomes inflamed, generally from overuse, repetition, injury or
trauma to the tendon. Tendonitis often occurs in the shoulder, elbow, hip, knee, foot
or ankle and is noted more frequently in athletes as well as persons with osteoarthritis,
rheumatoid arthritis, and diabetes. Sharp, burning pain, loss of motion, decreased
strength, inflexibility and loss of function occur when the inflamed tendon is pulled
through the sheath by the muscle. Physical Therapy provides significant relief of
inflammation and pain, then focuses on restoration of range of motion, strength, and
functional movement. Contact Stellar Rehabilitation for more information at 845-2100

Q. What can I do to protect my elderly relatives from nursing home neglect and
abuse?
A. The best thing you can do to protect a loved one is by doing some smart research. First

Attorney at Law
figure out whether the nursing home is licensed in the State of Wisconsin. Determine if the
staff (RPNs, LPNs, CNAs) are all licensed and have service training for nursing home care.
Find 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. With the start of school right around the corner, what recommendations do you
have for preventing back pain from heavy backpacks?
A. Every year we see more and more kids with neck, shoulder and back pain as a result of over
weight and/or improperly worn packs. Lets start by first getting them the correct backpack. A good
pack should have function first and fashion second. Find a pack that is sturdy, or slightly rigid as well
as padded on the portion that rests against the spine. This will protect the back and force the items
inside to sit properly. Make sure the pack has wide padded shoulder straps in order to help distribute
the weight evenly. Look for a pack that has at least one waist strap and if possible, a chest strap as well.
Lee Unwin,
Using these straps will keep the weight from shifting when you move. A good pack will cost between
LMT
$50 and $150. Finding the right back pack is only half of the equation; how you wear it and how
much you put in it determines the risk of injury. A pack should not be carried on one shoulder or below the waist. Both of these
positions put undue stress on the shoulders and back. Proper position is always on both shoulders and above the beltline. The
weight of the pack should be no more than 10-20% of the persons body weight. If your child does complain of neck, shoulder
or back pain a thorough chiropractic evaluation is in order to determine any damage to the nervous or musculoskeletal system.

dard for replacement of missing teeth, especially the single tooth. A dental implant is
an artificial root, sometimes looking similar to a screw that is placed into the jawbone
to anchor a tooth. An abutment and crown (cap) is made to connect to this "root".
Dental implants have many advantages and few disadvantages. Implants
are immune to tooth decay and erosion. Implants are exceptionally strong and have
very high success rates. Implants can replace teeth in places that dentists have had

few options in the past. Some disadvantages to implants include, longer treatment
times (largely due to healing), restrictive insurance coverage and limitations due to
inadequate bone. There are some medical restrictions related to implants, but these
are very rare.

there were no options to replace them, contact us at 848-4000 for a free consultation to
