Board applicants focus on communication

Board plans to make
appointments May 2

One year can go by quickly, especially after the learning curve serving
on a governmental body is taken into
account.
Verona Area School Board member Renee Zook tried to drive that
home to the nine applicants for two
vacancies on the board Monday night
during 10-minute interviews with
each. Zook asked the applicants what
they would prioritize in the appointed
term, driving home the point that the
learning curve would be steep.
Most of the applicants, all of whom
have children currently attending
school in the district, said communication is the key going forward,
Page 9
whether thats on personalized learning, behavior initiatives or growth.
Other topics covered in the interviews included personalized learning,
how an applicants personal and work
experience would influence their
goals on the board and what inspired
them to apply for the openings.
Board members are expected to discuss and vote on an appointment at
the boards May 2 meeting. A majority vote will be required to approve
any appointment.
Applicants for the Portion 1 seat,
outside the cities of Fitchburg and

Verona, were Meredith Stier Christensen, Kevin Wunder and Janet
Lalor. Applicants for the at-large
seat were Lalor, Lynn Vilker, Russell
King, Mylinda Heil, Sarah Gaskell,
Matt Kleber and Kristina Navarro-Haffner.
Applicants Christopher Hopp and
Charyn Grandau, both for the at-large
seat, removed their names from consideration before the meeting Monday
night.
Resignations in March from Joanne
Gauthier and Derrell Connor created
the two openings. The appointees will
be the second and third new members
of a board that has been mostly familiar faces in recent years.
Noah Roberts, who took his oath
of office Monday and will take office
April 25, won the April 5 election to
succeed Ken Behnke, who is stepping
down after 21 years on the board.
Interest in city government continues to be high

despite a lack of recent
contested elections.
Five candidates have
applied for the District 2
seat vacated last month by
Dale Yurs, who moved out
of the district to find a bigger home for his growing
family.
The candidates include
Karl Curtis, a longtime
Verona Area Chamber
of Commerce executive
director and Verona Press
editor, and Marcia Kasieta, wife of former mayor
and alder Bob Kasieta.

Epic
Board delays action

on Gorrell contract
Epic awarded nearly

$1 billion in lawsuit
SCOTT GIRARD
After an incorrect agenda was sent

out and posted online, the Verona
Area school board decided not to take
action Monday night on approving a
new contract for superintendent Dean
Gorrell.
The agenda originally posted Friday
did not include the contract approval
as an action item, but that version was
uploaded later in the day Monday and
posted at the districts office by Sunday. It remained incorrect with no
action item from the Personnel committee on the website early Monday
afternoon.
Multiple people expressed concerns
to the Press that it violated the states
open meetings law. Parent Mike Hall
told the board Monday night during
the audience portion that perception is everything at a time with
many people interested in the boards
actions. Hall said the agenda was not
online Monday morning when he
checked.
I just ask that be paid attention
to, especially at that time, Hall said.
The board voted Monday to change the districts property insurance carrier.
The Local Government Property Insurance fund has been the districts insurer for many years, but after a tumultuous last few years, including the tornado
at Country View Elementary School, that fund is in the red and had to raise its
premium.
The board instead chose to go through Liberty Mutual, which has a higher
premium than the LGPI has in the past, but is nearly $30,000 lower than it
would have been next year.
Not having that online and publicly
available 24 hours before the meeting just makes everyone more suspicious.
Board member Ken Behnke and
board president Dennis Beres both
said there was nothing to be suspicious of. Beres said the difference
between the posted agenda at the district office and the one emailed out
was strictly inadvertent.
I wish that it would not have taken
place that way, Beres said, maintaining they had complied fully with
posting legalities.
Ultimately, Beres said, the board
did not finish an evaluation for
Gorrell during a closed session earlier in the night, and he said the board
would meet again Friday morning to
finish those discussions and likely
take action on a contract after.
Beres said the review process for
Gorrells evaluation has been in process since July of last year. With
that long timeframe in mind, Beres
said the board will soon set new standards for evaluations.
Going forward we will be embarking on a process that the board will
start on to establish evaluation and
goals moving forward, he said. The
newly seated board members will be a
full part of that process.

Town Board in brief

Press deadline:
The board got an update on the approach for a new

comprehensive plan. The towns Plan Commission has
designated different areas of the town and will do outreach in each to explain the goals of the new plan, with
meetings likely beginning in May, Arnold said.
At an April 13 meeting, the board met in closed

excess land at the new Town Hall site on County Hwy.

minor changes, Arnold said, and took no action on the

post at Millers and the

library when they can.
It gives us a little bit of
backing if we cant make it
to all three spots, Arnold
said.
Arnold said the move
to focus online is simply a
reaction to where people
are getting their information.
Were just moving so
much more toward an email
and web-based communication system, and sometimes
I wonder about how many
people look at postings,
particularly at the library,
Arnold said.
Some Town Board members, though, hesitated to

make the changes at the
April 6 meeting, Arnold
said. Those board members, Arnold said, really
do not want to eliminate the
opportunity for somebody
to wander by and say, Oh,
hey, that looks interesting.
It was a good, nice, honest conversation about how

people get their information
these days, she said. You
have to be an interested party to be on the towns email
list.
The board approved the
motion April 6.

EAs unusual program has

altered my view of learning
am not a morning person.

But unlike three years ago,
I actually get excited now
when I go to school.
When I was in middle school,
I never wanted to work on my
assignments and often felt
like the teachers didnt care. I
couldnt focus and didnt enjoy
what I was learning.
I hated sitting at a desk for
hours and listening to lectures.
My attitude
about school
and learning
changed when
I began attending Exploration Academy.
Now I love
what Im
Pacetti
learning and
the creativity
I put into my projects. I can
use my interests and passions
in order to learn. I have also
formed great relationships with
the advisers/teachers and no
longer feel as stressed and upset
in my working environment.
EA is a charter school connected to Verona Area High
School. Our school is project-based, meaning we have
the freedom and creativity to
create projects that hit certain
learning targets based on the
state standards, rather than completing worksheets and taking
tests. Each student is assigned
to an adviser/teacher who helps
develop a personal Pathway to
Graduation.
I am a very artistic person,
which means a lot of my projects take my creativity and
become more art-based. I enjoy
thinking out of the box for my
projects because it keeps me
from being bored. At EA, I can
use my own ideas and thoughts
when it comes to my learning.
Although we have certain
learning targets to hit, the
majority of the time I can make
a learning target that might
sound boring into something I
love learning and will always
remember.
A good example of this was
my kinetic and potential energy project I did my sophomore

If you want to learn more about our school or hear other students
success stories, come to EA for our student showcase. Its open to
the community from 6-8 p.m. April 21. Come talk to me or other
students and see all of the hard work we have done this year.

page, and follow us on Twitter and Instagram.
year. I dreaded it until I came

up with the idea to incorporate
skiing. I used an app from my
phone to find my velocity by
measuring the time and distance
it took me to ski the mountain.
Theres still room for traditional learning, however. With their
partnership, EA students can
take two credits a year at VAHS.
My dream is to become a
choir teacher or a special education teacher. This enhancement has allowed me to take
my music classes such as choir,
guitar, piano and AP music
theory. I also took theater arts,
as well as Joyful Noise and
Adaptive P.E., two rewarding
classes in which we work with
special-needs kids.
EA students can also participate in VAHS extracurriculars; I
have participated in volleyball,
theater, and vocal jazz. I have
actually hit learning targets
through extracurriculars.
Another aspect of the Personal Pathway is the accountability
of the student by using a level
system as a way of getting
rewarded for doing our assignments.
To keep students on track, we
meet with our advisers once a
week to create an assignment
sheet for the next week. These
assignments vary each week
from our individual projects to
online courses such as ALEKS
Math, Achieve3000, and Compass. We also have seminars,
which are similar to traditional
classes.
This school works for people
who are able to manage their

own time, take initiative, learn
well independently and be
self-motivated. Were not evaluated with the traditional letter
grading system, but rather on
completion of assignments at
predetermined levels.
Once an assignment is completed, it is evaluated as minimal, basic, proficient or expert,
and only proficient or higher
counts in the Pathway. Then we
move on to the next step.
Going at our own pace means
some EA students can graduate
early. Junior Solomon Roller is
a great example of this, noting
that hell be graduating this
spring and with a full fouryear scholarship to UW-Madison through the First Wave multicultural artistic program.
He accomplished that, as he
put it, through hard work and
dedication.
Ill be graduating in the spring
of next year, and my experience
at EA has been fantastic so far.
I will admit, I was unsure
about it at first, because I was
scared of leaving my friends,
being in a small school, learning
differently and thinking I might
not graduate. I am glad I did
it, though, since I have formed
friendships and I have loved
being a part of a tight community.
This learning environment has
helped me gain the confidence I
needed in order to learn.

About three years ago, Trey

Warner, Rick Lucchesi and
Patti Smith came together to
form a tribute act in honor of
the 1960s folk trio Peter, Paul
and Mary.
Each had previously performed in tribute groups and
decided to take the act to a
higher level. Theyll perform
in Verona at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, April 30 at the Verona
Area High School Performing
Arts Center, 300 Richard St.
In an interview with the
Verona Press, Warner said
Peter, Paul and Mary Now
performs 12-15 shows per
year, mostly on the East
Coast. He said the original
trios music was engaging
and challenging to perform,
and he was surprised at how
strongly it connects to modern audiences.
The trio performs the original groups biggest hits: If
I had a Hammer, Blowin
in the Wind, Leaving on a
Jet Plane, Puff the Magic
Dragon, and Lemon Tree,
among many others.
Lucchesi is a former member of Frankie Valli and the

Four Seasons. He performs

as Peter Yarrow, while Warner
plays the role of Paul Stooky
and Patti Smith sings the parts
of the late Mary Travers.
Their instrumentation
and tight vocal harmonies
are reminiscent of the original songs, Warner said. The
music and the message is as
applicable in this generation
as it was when the trio started
their musical journey in 1962.
Warner talked with the
Verona Press last week.
Verona Press: How did
the group come together?
Warner: All of us have

played in tribute groups
before, and we individually
have been in different Peter,
Paul and Mary tribute groups.
So we all came together as
one group. The other two
members of the group are so
much fun to play with that
its a real joy to actually be on
the stage with them. Weve all
improved our performing and
playing experience.
VP: What do you like
about the music of Peter, Paul
and Mary?
Warner: The really interesting part about it is that as
youre around the music and
different genres of music you
see just how much of it came
from other artists and how
much of it has been redone by
more recent artists.
Its fun music to do and the
different artists and messages
and the playing experience is
quite different. To those people who are musicians and
have never tried to play some
of their music, its a lot more
challenging than it sounds.
VP: Are you all playing
guitar and singing?
Warner: I play guitar;

VAHS to host childrens carnival Saturday

Verona Area High School

will host a childrens carnival Saturday, April 23, with
games, crafts and more.
The event will feature different VAHS students groups,
including Future Farmers of
America, the French Club,
Science Olympiad and Model
UN.
Each group will have an
activity that fits with their
groups purpose, like soccer
drills with the boys soccer
team and face painting by the
art club.
The event, which is $5 per
child and runs from noon
to 3 p.m. in the VAHS main
gym, will also offer a chance
for attendees to do drills and
take photos with the VAHS
girls basketball state championship team and play beach
volleyball with the girls volleyball team, which qualified
for the state tournament.
The majority of proceeds

from the event will go to
Verona Aid, a student-driven
project that offers aid to people in Dane County and to
Syrian refugees. The group
formed earlier this school
year after social studies teacher Jason Knoll was moved by
photos from the Syrian crisis.

beyond that Peter, Paul and
Mary were entertaining and
engaging. They were very
much a part of the crowd
and the enjoyment of the
music, so its that whole era
of music and live entertainment that people miss out
on now. Its go up, play your
music, wait for the applause
and move on. Whereas with
Peter, Paul and Mary, its a
lot more interactive.
One thing I noticed about
playing Peter, Paul and Mary
music and I dont know if
it was a surprise to me or just
caught me off guard the
music itself is quite intense
in the musicality of it and
the lyrics. I didnt expect to
go on stage and see everybody in the audience knowing every word to every one
of their songs. I was kind
of shocked, and that says a
lot about the power of the
music.

The Least of Your Brothers

It can be tempting to judge ourselves by how we
respond to those who treat us well. Its easy to be
kind to those who are kind to us. But perhaps a more
accurate moral assessment can be made by looking at
how we respond to those who treat us poorly. There
are many ways in which people can mistreat us, from
lying to us, to insulting us, to ignoring us, to stealing
from us, and even to abusing us physically or emotionally. How we respond to these insults is probably
the best measure of our character. How we behave in
times of health and prosperity says very little about
us. How we behave in times of sickness and adversity
speaks volumes about our character. Courage stands
out on the battlefield when bullets are flying and not
during target practice. So perhaps at the end of each
day we should reflect on how we treated those difficult
co-workers or clients, and how we dealt with the
people we consider unworthy of our kindness. Thank
God for the opportunity to test your mettle by giving
you difficult people in your daily life. They truly are the
least of your brothers.
Christopher Simon, Metro News Service
Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least
of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for
me.

A student raises his hand to answer a question from Tod Pritchard of Wisconsin Emergency Management.
A STEP toward tornado awareness
Its impossible to be fully prepared for

a natural disaster, but the fifth-graders at
Sugar Creek Elementary School came one
step closer with a presentation from the
Student Tools for Emergency Planning, or
STEP, Program April 12 during Tornado
Awareness Week.
Founded in 2010-11, the STEP Program
is a statewide initiative to educate children
on proper disaster response techniques
specifically, tornadoes.
The April 12 visit, which included parties ranging from Country View and Sugar Creek faculty to state Representative
Sondy Pope and was sponsored by AT&T,
was part of an effort that has garnered the
participation of 12,000 students all across
Wisconsin.
Speakers, including Country View Elementary School principal Michelle Nummerdor, whose school was hit by a tornado
in June 2014, told the students to have a
plan in place for emergencies.
Advice included creating an emergency kit before its needed, taking leadership roles in responding to a situation and
talking to parents about their familys plan.
Students received a STEP bag with tools like a flashlight to help during an
Matthew Barton and Scott Girard emergency.
Sugar Creek principal Todd Brunner talks to his schools fifth-graders

about the importance of emergency preparedness.

taking what we do as special

We need to make sure the
communication with parents
and the community is also in
place.
Goals in one-year term:
What is happening in the district right now is setting the
foundation for who the district
is going to be in 10, 15, 20
years.
Communication: It is so important that the community
sees the good work that the
district is doing and that all
doors are open and theres a
good exchange

Personalized learning: I think
the idea of personalized learning is really great. I think that
there is a lot of things that
need to be fixed with it. There
needs to be more players involved. It cant be just the
teachers and the students.
Perspective: Ive gotten to

angle than most people would.

a lot of different issues in the
district.
Why she applied: I dont

Personalized learning: I love
the theory. I think its an outstanding way to engage every
student, ensure that they have
an opportunity to be successful in the district.

Behavior: Part of the districts
responsibility to students is
to prepare them for their next
level and making sure they
understand what their expectations will be at the next level.
Conflict resolution: A lot of
times the conflict comes from

Burns: Gave mayor

notice before applying for
Middleton job
Continued from page 1
Burns, who will sit next
to Mayor Jon Hochkammer
for the final time Monday,
sat down with the Press last
week to look back on his six
years here and look ahead at
the challenges Verona faces
under the next administrator.
Not the least of those
is replacing the extensive
amount of institutional
knowledge held by himself and several other key
employees who have made
or are making exits in a particularly difficult one-year
period for Verona.
Last year it was assessor Bob Courter and clerk
Kami Scofield. In February
it was city engineer Bob
Gundlach and in July it will
be public works director
Ron Rieder.
Gundlach, Rieder and
Courter all were here for 30
years or more and the clerk
plays a critical support role
for the administrator. Those
departures alone would
make Burns job harder,
and the challenge will be
double with a new administrator unable to lean on the
department heads experience.
Thats why McGilvray
says the next city administrator needs to demonstrate
vision and leadership first
and foremost.
Youve got to be able
to lead all those personalities, he said of alders on
the Common Council, who
feuded throughout 2013 but
have since become far more
agreeable. And youve got
all these fresh department
heads.
Burns, who usually gives
a thoughtful pause before
answering questions,
agreed with that assessment, saying bringing
everyone together will be
the biggest job his successor will face, even above
growing the citys downtown, managing its economic development opportunities and working with
Epic.
He mentioned that sort
of brokering of personalities among his proudest
achievements during his
six years running Veronas

staff. Burns played a part
in bringing together the
city and town after years of
acrimony including with
a combined arrangement
with a fire department and
also facilitated negotiations between the Common
Council and Epic, which
has grown large enough to
have an impact on almost
everything the city does.
Burns hopes the next
administrator can help the
city take a more active role
in economic development
and helps the council make
good decisions with its economic development opportunities on the north side
and southeast side.
Hochkammer also pointed at economic development and fostering teamwork as priorities and said
t h e n ex t a d m i n i s t r a t o r
without question needs to
be a good communicator
who can work well with
other staff. He said that, as
well as the ability to be an
all-around professional,
especially during tumultuous periods like when more
than half the council turned
over in 2013, were crucial
skills Burns brought over
the past six years.
Burns also demonstrated
that professionalism by giving the city notice he was
applying for the Middleton
job several weeks before
accepting it, Hochkammer
said. Thats made the transition quite a bit easier than
it could have been, and it
will shorten the amount of
time the mayor will have to
spend taking on a dual role
something he did for nine
months in 2009-10.
Burns has spent much
of that time attempting to
hand off his many duties to
various staff members and
wrapping up some longterm projects, like the towncity boundary agreement
and the recruitment for the
next public works director.
Hochkammer is aiming
to bring in finalists for that
position May 20-21 and
have Burns successor start
in June about the same
times as the new public
works director.

A word with...
Exiting city administrator Bill Burns

JIM FEROLIE
Verona Press editor
Verona Press: How has

becoming a parent changed
things for you and your
family?
Bill Burns: It changes
your outlook and your priorities. One thing thats
very important to me is
time with my family and
being able
to be there
wherever I
can. As my
daughter
gets older and is
going to be
involved
in more
activities and more things
through school, I want to
be a part of that as much as
possible.
VP: What it was like to
live in Verona and do this
job?
BB: For me its been a
real positive. It is nice to
be close to work, to be able
to come back and forth
to work, to see the things
youre working on in the
community when youre
out.
For the most part I havent
had problems (with being
pestered outside of work
hours). The Madison area is
a big enough region that if
you want to go out to dinner
and just have a quiet night,
theres other places to go.
VP: What was the most
important thing you had to
deal with?
BB: Economic development and working with our
TIF districts and our businesses. Weve been very
fortunate to have Epic here
in Verona and a great relationship between the city
and Epic. With our other
downtown development
and businesses, theres a lot
more additional work that
can be done.
VP: What have been
some of your biggest challenges here?
B B : T h e r e s a l w a y s
something new with Epic.
You need to be creative and
flexible and work together
and think outside the box.
Its both a positive that
we can work together collaboratively, but its also

a challenge in that when
you think something is set,
something else may come
up and change and you need
to be able to adjust and go
with that on the fly.
And continuing to work
to be more proactive with
economic development and
redevelop and revitalize the
downtown. I think weve
made some progress
but the communitys still
searching for our identity.
Theres still the question of
where do we go next.
VP: What did you wish
you had accomplished that
you hadnt or wish youd
done differently?
BB: (Long pause) I wish
we had been able to accomplish more with revitalizing
the downtown.
I think with the first interview I had with you, you
were (asking) about downtown Sun Prairie and how
that process went. Weve
had more incremental
improvements in downtown
Verona rather than a big
game-changer.
Theres a question of
what that should be. Theres
a debate in the community

between people who want

things to stay as there are
and theres some people
who want to do something
big downtown but theyre
not sure what that is.
Municipal parking lots
will help, streetscape will
help, but there was a lot of
talk about getting a draw or
a destination, whether that
be a bandshell or performance area or a fountain, a
splash pad was talked about
its a challenge to find a
location thats big enough
to do that.
VP: What was your
proudest accomplishment?
BB: One is being able to
continue to work with Epic
and help facilitate their
growth and to be able
to get close to the position
where were able to close
out their TIF (district) early.
Another Im very proud
of is all the changes that
have taken place related to
the fire department the last
few years. Going back to
the transition from a district
to a city department, getting
that department up and running, getting us financially
to the point where we can
do 24-hour staffing and then
of course building the new
fire and EMS facility.
VP: And that district situation was a mess, too.
BB: Yes, Ive seen the
relationship between the
city and the town improve
over the past few years, and
Im glad to have been part
of that. A lot of that started
by working together on fire
and people from both the
city and town realizing that
we wanted to make some
improvements there and
work together.
That was a good model of
cooperation and trust, and
thats made it easier to work
on the boundary agreement.
The failed merger was
like a nasty divorce and
they just blew apart and
slowly have started coming
together again.
I remember back with
the tornado, when that happened, the city and town
staff helped each other out.
We said Verona as a community, we need to get
through this. I know they
were very appreciative of
the citys involvement and
they were good to work
with, as well.
I definitely have seen
things improve a lot in six
years.
VP: What kind of opportunities do you see for Verona over the next few years?
BB: Financially, Verona
is in very good shape. That
combined with the TIF district closing and the benefits thats going to bring is
going to set the city up very
well.
One of the opportunities
is in the area of economic
development. Verona has
not been extremely active
in going out and targeting
and recruiting businesses. To some extent, Verona
hasnt had to. But the question for the community and
the opportunity is what else
do we want to be, where do
we see ourselves in the next
10-20 years and how do
we take those resources we
have and go out and try to
accomplish those things.
VP: What do you recommend?
BB: The city needs to be
more active with economic development. The CDA
could play a role in that.
If the council is not at the
point of charging the CDA
with that, thats something
the council or committees
of the council should be
involved in.
I think were at a point
where weve got an opportunity and we should be
more proactive with what
we should identify for economic development, particularly with redevelopment
in the downtown.
With the TIF district closing with Epic, well have
for the first time in several years, an opportunity
to either create a new TIF
district or amend the boundaries of our current TIF district.
And for the first time in
several years, weve got the
opportunity to bring in a
large new area of land (the
North neighborhood).
VP: What will be the biggest job your successor will
face?
BB: Coordinating the
transition with all of the
changes (with staff and on
the council) that have been
going on for the last year.
For the next administrator, being able to manage
that change, bring everyone
together and continue to
have a strong team environment and make sure everyone is brought up to speed.

become a close rivalry the past

Since 2010, the Wildcats are

Despite not getting the extra
goal to pick up a win Thursday at
Reddan Soccer Park, Verona did
show signs of improvement from
the start of the season.
We are starting to come together as a team, and I think kids are
really shining in some of the positions we are playing them in,
head coach Jen Faulkner said.
Every year is a new start because
we have to figure out who we have
back and who is going to fit where
and what formation we want to
play. But I am just really pleased
with the way we are moving forward.

and field all-time lists in
five different events Monday at the Madison West
triple.
Already breaking the
VAHS school record in
the high jump this season,
Herkert has excelled in the
110-meter hurdles, as well
as the long and triple jumps
throughout his career. Monday, the Wildcat standout
added a new event to his
repertoire to help Verona
defeat Madison West 86-59
and Beloit Memorial 10145.
Running the 300 hurdles
for the first-time, Herkert
posted a meet-best time
of 40.4 seconds and was
the sixth-fastest athlete in
school history. Herkert added the long jump (20-10
1/2) and 110 hurdles (15.0)
as well.
Herkert joined Eric Lonsdorf (100, 200, 400, long
and triple jumps) as the

Verona ties for eighth at WI PGA invite

ANTHONY IOZZO
The Verona Area High

School boys golf team traveled to Maple Bluff Country Club on Monday for the
Wisconsin PGA High School
invite with plenty to gauge
about where the team stands
in the conference and sectional.
With a field that included
Big Eight schools Middleton, Madison Memorial, Sun
Prairie, Beloit Memorial,
Madison West, Janesville
Parker, Janesville Craig and
Madison La Follette, the
Wildcats finished tied for
eighth overall and fourth
among Big Eight schools
with a 338 (58-over par).
We have the guys that can
shoot the scores. I am not
worried about that. It is just a
matter of keeping consistent,
head coach Jon Rebholz said.
Garhett Kaegi was tied
for 10th overall with a 78,
while Nick Meland shot an
82. Nick Buchert and Steven
Kellerman followed with a
pair of 89s. Will Zunkers
score of 98 was thrown out.
When you go up against
the Middletons and Madison Memorials, you have
to have at least three or
four guys on their game,
Rebholz said.

ANTHONY IOZZO

School baseball team lost
a tough 3-2 Big Eight Conference game to Janesville Parker on Thursday
at Stampfl Field, which
dropped the Wildcats to
0-3 in the conference.
Head coach Brad DOrazio said it was going to be
important to get it together and get some conference wins with four more
games coming up before
the non-conference schedule kicks in again.
DOrazio said the biggest area of improvement needs to be with the
in-game adjustments at the
plate.

can say that again tonight.

Before the game and during
halftime, Faulkner talked with
the Wildcats about generating offense and getting more
high-percentage shots on goal.
And that is something that
led to the first goal of the night
in the 47th minute when sophomore Chandler Bainbridge
received a pass from junior
Kate Melin on a counterattack
and knocked the ball into the
back of the net.
Although Verona didnt
score again, there were a few
opportunities, including a
shot on goal by senior Ellery
Rourke and a few other shots
that sailed over or went wide
of the net.
I am really pleased with
the amount of offense that
we generated today. That has
been a bit of a struggle for
us in these first four games.
We have been working on
defense, and our goal today
was to come out and develop
some offense, Faulkner said.
We did that. We had good
shots on goal. We had good
high-percentage shots on the
net. We didnt put them all
away, but that will come.
I am just really pleased
with the way they moved
the ball up and the way we
attacked as a team, because
that was our goal for the second half.
West tied the game in the
78th minute with a goal by
Rachel Peaslee.
Sophomore Rachel Nelson
finished with five saves for
Verona.
We took some bumps early. It is not really about the
score in those games. It is
about figuring out where we
play and how we play. That
is why we want those early

season games in a non-conference competition so we can
come prepared for this first
game in the conference, and
I feel like we did a good job
with that this year, Faulkner
said.

efficient is my air conditioner, and should I consider

replacing it?
A. The efficiency of your air conditioner is based on its SEER rating and
how well it has been maintained. Air conditioners that are 15 years old or
more probably fall into the 6-8 SEER rating range. A new 13-16 SEER
air conditioner could give you savings in the 35-60% range over your
existing unit. Even air conditioners installed as little as 5 years ago could
cost 20-35% more to operate than todays models. Any repairs needed
in addition to energy savings may justify replacing even these units. For
these and any other questions on your HVAC system, contact Dave at
OK Heating & Air Conditioning.
PHYSICAL THERAPY
Q. What are shin splints and how do I get rid of them?

A. The phrase shin splints is associated with pain, inflammation, stress and
potential tissue damage along the front of the tibia (shin). Shin splints often
occur when a person changes activity, starts a new sport/hobby, or has intensified
workouts. Runners, dancers and athletes are commonly affected when the anterior
tibialis muscle is repetitively strained, causing micro-tears in the muscle, tendon
and/or fascia. Persons with high arches or very flat feet often have trouble with shin

A. On April 22, we observe Earth Day. As you may know, one of the key themes

dental problems that are associated with the disease?
A. People living with diabetes are vulnerable to a host of systemic issues, the mouth
and teeth are not immune. Many diabetics with oral problems go undiagnosed until
conditions become advanced.
Infections, receding gums and periodontal disease are common conditions among diabetics for several reasons. Diabetes diminishes the bodys ability to fight off infection.
Dr. James Sands, DDS Diabetes also causes a thickening to occur in the blood vessels around teeth that make
it more difficult for the body to carry away harmful waste products. In addition, blood
sugar levels that are too high can lead to problems that promote cavities and gum
disease.
As with any condition, good oral hygiene including regular brushing and flossing is
key. If a healthy glucose level can be maintained, most major dental problems can be
avoided.
of environmentalism is reduce, reuse, recycle. Can you apply these same elements
to investing? Lets start with reduce. If you are constantly buying and selling
investments, you could increase your trading costs, increase your taxes and make it
hard for yourself to follow a consistent, long-term investment strategy. So, if you do
trade frequently, consider reducing your activity. Now, lets consider reuse. Many
investors jump from one investment technique to another, but you need a strategy thats
designed to accommodate your goals, risk tolerance and time horizon. You can reuse

actually recycle some of your investments in different ways. For example, if you receive
stock dividends, reinvest them back into the stocks its a good way to boost your
share ownership. Reduce, reuse, recycle the phrase resonates in the environmental

Q. What can Comfort Keepers do for Elders with Dementia?

A. Comfort Keepers dementia care is dedicated to preserving the happiness and independence
Q. Will I get a better deal without a Buyers agent?
Keith & Kinsey Schulz

Real Estate Team
A. Some people think that if they call listing agents to see properties they will get a better deal because the seller
will pay less commission. This is rarely true. The commission a seller pays is agreed upon between the seller and the
listing agent within the listing contract. The listing agent usually agrees, within that contract, to share a portion of
their commission with a buyers agent (if there is one). In most listing contracts, the listing agent is entitled to the full
commission if there is no buyers agent.
When a buyer does not have an agent representing them, they end up dealing directly with the agent who is working
solely in the sellers best interest. Agents are trained negotiators and they can generally out negotiate the average buyer.
For this reason, a buyer usually ends up with a better price or terms if they have an agent working on their behalf.
Theres also the hassle factor of calling multiple listing agents to try to set up showings on multiple properties. Its
much easier and faster for a buyer to schedule showings through a Buyers agent if they want to see several houses. In
this fast moving sellers market, Buyers really need an agent on their side.

knees and hips. We want to identify the cause of your pain, not just treat the
symptoms. Chiropractic adjustments will help restore normal biomechanics to the foot, ankle, knee, hip and pelvic joints.
Massage therapy will address the soft tissue components of the ITBS and will allow for better gains in releasing adhesions and tight
muscles beyond just stretching. Stretching and strengthening exercises will be prescribed to correct muscle imbalances, and orthotics
may be prescribed to stabilize joint alignment of the foot and function of the lower limb. Recommendations on training schedule,

as medical expenses, pre-tax, including FICA and Medicare taxes. You can contribute a maximum of $2,500 to

can be withdrawn to pay future medical expenses, such as large deductibles and co-pays. Any contributions
not withdrawn later for medical expenses will accumulate similar to an IRA. Contributions to these various plans are usually made via
payroll deductions. So, the sooner you start contributing, the bigger the benefit.
