Transgender students in the

will soon have the ability to
use the bathroom and locker
rooms of their gender identity.
That is the most high profile among several other protections the school board
approved in creating a transgender policy Monday night.
While it will take time to
fully implement, including
training staff on the policy
and related support plans,
the board voted unanimously
to approve Monday. Board
member Tom Duerst, who
had expressed opposition to
the policy in past meetings,
was not in attendance.
This looks really comprehensive, and I think it looks
great, said Meredith Stier-Christensen.
The policy governs much
beyond bathrooms and locker rooms, outlining student
privacy and confidentiality
issues, participation in sports
and dress codes.
Approval comes more than
a year after an ad hoc committee of board members,
parents, community members
and students began to discuss a topic that has caused
controversy and confusion
nationwide.
Even now, theres not much
clarity for the district on how
to protect itself legally.
I can continue to have
feelings that the main thing I

want to accomplish is that we
dont get sued, said board
president Dennis Beres. It
is increasingly obvious its
impossible to assure that.
A lawyer who visited the
district in June to discuss its
draft policy said as much,
calling it a tipping point
on transgender issues and
explaining that the district
was open to legal action if it
had a policy or if it chose to
not have a policy.
After discussing the policy
at five meetings already this
fall and asking for language
cleanup, a new support plan
and other features, board
members finally felt comfortable voting on the plan Monday.
After making a few more
changes, that is.
The biggest discussion
was about language added to
the policy at the last meeting
in September, which stated,
Persons asserting a non-conforming gender identity for
an improper or unlawful purpose will be subject to school
discipline and/or referral to
law enforcement.
Russell King made clear
at the last meeting he was
uncomfortable with the language, and he reasserted that
Monday night, saying it was

The Town of Verona took

the first step toward opting
out of Dane County zoning last week, but there are
plenty of steps left before
it could become official
including a public vote.
The Town Board unanimously voted Oct. 4 to send
a letter of intent to other
towns and county officials
about the opt-out, which
comes after a change in
state law earlier this year
allowed for the consideration. County zoning currently restricts much development, including most
land divisions with fewer
than 35 acres.
Town administrator/planner Amanda Arnold told
the Press board members
wanted to be able to give
the citizens a chance to be
involved in this decision.
To not issue the letter of
intent would be to not
have a public process about
it, she said. A town can

City of Verona
PB bridge design stands pat

JIM FEROLIE
In brief
Verona Press editor
The city apparently will not take a suggestion to build a refuge island in the middle
of a soon-to-be-rebuilt bridge that crosses
Old PB at the Military Ridge State Trail.
The crossing has drawn attention recently
because of motorists suddenly stopping at
the path when bicyclists and pedestrians are
waiting to cross. The city, town and Dane
County Sheriffs Office worked together this
summer to reduce the speed limit to 35 mph
all along the road and increase the visibility
of the crossing and sign warnings, but concerns remain.
One suggestion made by the state Department of Natural Resources was the that when
the city and town jointly replace two bridges
along Old PB, they widen the road and place
the island to allow pedestrians and bicyclists
to stop between lanes. However, neither the
town nor the DNR offered to contribute to
the additional cost estimated at up to
$125,000 because the DOTs 80 percent
share of the cost also would not contribute to
a wider bridge.
Public works committee chair Ald. Evan
Touchett (Dist. 4) explained Monday that the
committee evaluated multiple options and
put a lot of public safety thought into the
crossing but unanimously decided against the
suggestion.
We looked at the total cost, looked at a
lot of the design options, he explained. We
also looked at placing signals and recognized that also creates some additional safety

hazards on this road.
Ald. Luke Diaz (D-1), another member of
the committee, said cost wasnt even a factor for him, but he wasnt convinced a refuge
island would have been any safer.
Public works director Theran Jacobson
explained that a refuge island between the
two lanes will create stop conditions in
either lane, which is the original problem.
If this was a four-lane road, it would be a
completely different discussion, he said.
A flashing light, Jacobson said, would create similar risk. But he hoped other efforts,
such as clearing away brush and adding more
signs, should help reduce safety concerns

and the new bridge will reduce it further.
The proposal to add the widened road into
the in-progress design did not get any support
from the council, which did not vote because
the motion did not get a second.
The new bridge, the northernmost of the
two being replaced, will be about 35 feet
wide from pavement edge to pavement edge,
Jacobson said, about 10 feet wider than it is
currently. It is expected to open in 2018.

Letters to the editor
VAIS experience has been highly positive

My wife and I have two children enrolled in the Verona Area
International School (VAIS), a
50/50 Chinese language immersion school. I have been surprised
to hear of recent concerns regarding the schools ability to support
struggling learners. Our childrens experience with the school
have been highly positive.
Both children are adopted from
China. English was not the first
language for either child and
the school has been proactive in
reaching out to identify needs/
options for support. In addition,
our younger child has a repaired
cleft lip/palate as well as a sensory processing disorder. VAIS has
helped facilitate and participate
in discussions with VASD speech
and language pathologists to

discuss observations, needs and
identify options. Despite these
challenges, our younger child
is also doing well in the school.
The VAIS has been helpful and
responsive in these areas.
It was our hope to pass on
to our children the gift of their
native language. This is now possible through the foresight of a
school like VAIS. The U.S. State
Department has designated Chinese as one of 14 critical need
languages. VAIS is ahead of its
time in offering 50/50 Chinese
immersion.

VAIS parent
Walker expose should be a wake-up call

The recently-published Guardian expose featuring documents
on Scott Walkers recall campaign
are stunning. The documents
bring pay-to-play politics into
razor-sharp focus, as well as the
integrity of those who hold power
in Wisconsin. The publication
of these documents is a gift to
democracy, if the electorate
chooses to pay attention and act.
The documents show that
Scott Walker solicited millions
of dollars for his campaign, funneling funds through a shadow
organization, Wisconsin Club
for Growth. From their coffers,
funds were distributed through a
web of 12 dark money groups. All
efforts were coordinated to prop
up Walker, Republican Senators
and a sympathetic Wisconsin
Supreme Court.
From the gifted donations,
legislative favors flowed. An
out-of-state lead magnate was

given immunity from childrens
health litigation. A payday loan
company in Texas received
beneficial industry legislation.
A construction supply company
garnered tax breaks and environmental deregulation. A mining
company from Florida purchased
a beneficial mining bill with their
donation. Suffer the children.
Suffer our environment. Suffer
democracy!
This story serves as an indictment of those involved for illegal
coordination. It also needs to
serve as a wake-up call to the
electorate. Those in power are
not working on your behalf, but
on the behalf of wealthy donors.
Moneyed interest has poisoned
the political well.

The Battle of the

Bride-to-Be
he term Bridezilla was

coined to refer to that batty
broad who cries over the
candles not smelling enough like
jasmine, spits out the food she
herself specially picked out six
months earlier and demands that
the universe dance around Her
Lacey White (be)Highness, all
in the name
of love. But
what do we
call the people
who resist the
spending spree
on steroids and
the general
overzealousness
of the American
Dresser
matrimony?
Because lately,
Ive been feeling kind of crazy too.
Ive returned home from abroad
in order to have a few beers in
honor of this really cool dude that
Ive been hanging out with for
about seven years now, and yet
this simple request has somehow
turned me into a different breed of
monster. I bite someones head off
at the mere whisper of the word
wedding, I roll my eyes when
people gush in excitement about
My Big Day, and find myself proclaiming in exasperation: There
will be no jasmine candles! No
chandeliers! Take all those decorations back, Mom!
The struggle has been such that
I am actually starting to think that
planning a wedding might have
been easier than resisting one. For
example, my fianc is from Argentina, and we tried to explain to his
parents that we were just going
to sign a paper. No big deal. The
next time we came to see them, we
could sign the paper again for their
viewing pleasure.
They said no. Absolutely not.
They want to see us sign The First
Paper. I guess they see it as a kind
of Declaration of Dependence.
So theyre coming. I tried to warn
them about Wisconsin: the stench
of cow manure, Scott Walker
and the deadly fall snowstorms,
particularly prevalent around the

date of the event, but they doubled
down and bought their tickets.
Were losing this war something
fierce.
Recently, I found myself
sprawled across the floor at Joann
Fabrics, paralyzed with fear over
making the wrong choice between
violet dream and periwinkle
blue. I dont know what came
over me, but thankfully my best
friend Lindsey was there to knock
me out of my stupor.
There are millions of people
without access to affordable health
care, she said. Youre worried
about the color of your dress?
Exactly. I have outrun tornadoes. I have pulled fishing hooks
out of my hand. I have survived
epic college hangovers and black
ice face-plants. These proverbial
gold stars were not earned only to
have my knees buckle at the measly Battle of Fabric Choice.
Yet there I was for a brief
moment discombobulated by the
thought of potentially crossing the
frontline of some imaginary color
scheme.
I dont know how I got to this
point of resistance, but I am sure
as heck not backing down, no matter how outnumbered we are. And
we are really, really outnumbered.
Basically, its just me, Lindsey,
my fianc and my parents. Even
so, my parents are more like reluctant flag-bearers. They know their
daughters cause is a dying one
and they actually want to celebrate
my happiness to the fullest, so
they are secretly sending supplies
to the other side.
Lindsey well, Lindsey is a
fantastic soldier. She is basically
brainwashed. Our friends will
ask her, So what are you going
to wear to the wedding? and
shell fire back with the cannons.
Its NOT a wedding. Dont you
ever use that word again! And I
think Ill wear my pajamas. They
dont make soldiers like her these
days. I will not embarrass her on
the battlefield with some sissy
title like Maid of Honor. She will

be my decorated five-star general.
In pajamas.
Late at night, when we sit
around the trenches and talk
about all the silly wedding preconceptions that we avoided that
day, Lindsey insists that were
not alone. There are lots of folks
nowadays that do coffee and
cake parties instead of fullblown weddings, she says, but to
be honest, Ive never met any of
these people.
So if youre out there, please
come and enlist in my wedding
because morale is low. If reinforcements dont arrive soon, I
may plead insanity: whatever it
takes to keep the costs down and
the excitement at a reasonable
decibel.
Fortunately, we still cling to
hope. The other day I walked into
Just For You consignment shop,
and there was Beverly Hamilton,
the same wonderful seamstress
who helped me with my homecoming and prom dresses many
years ago. I asked her if she could
make my wedding dress look
less like a wedding dress. I was
half-expecting a fight, but Bev
didnt bat an eyelash. OK, we
can do that, she said. And its
gonna look great.
So when its all said and done,
we may lose a few battles, but I
think well win this war.
I dont fault anyone for getting
excited about a wedding celebration we must cherish every
precious moment that life gives
us but I do think we can re-evaluate our expectations. Keep it
simple. Itll be a beautiful day,
surrounded by beautiful people,
and Bridezilla will never be seen
again.

but blister packages without the medications being

Liquids will be accepted, as
well, but liquids, creams and

by using prescriptions only
as prescribed to them, storing prescriptions securely
and properly disposing of
unused prescriptions.

Last-minute information
that has lowered projected
tax increases for a Verona
Area School District referendum led officials to delay
printing of the community
survey last week.
District residents now
wont receive the surveys
until around Oct. 21 one
week later than planned.
District officials therefore
delayed the deadline for the
survey to Nov. 7, one week
later than the original Oct. 31
date.
The most significant information that needed updating
Take the survey

Printed surveys will be mailed to all homes in the Verona Area School District. To answer it online, visit Survey2000.com and follow the instructions that will come
with the survey.
The deadline is Nov. 7.
was the changes in property tax rate estimates for the
different proposals because
of an increase in the tax base
valuation. That lowered the
projected mill rates, in some
cases significantly, which
district officials expect to
heavily factor into respondents willingness to support
a referendum.
The tax increase for the
base plan, a new high school,
for example, went from $62
for each $100,000 of a homes

value in the original survey to
$23 in the new version.
The numbers in the original survey had been based
on an estimated 19.9 percent
increase in the tax base, but
the actual numbers came in
Tuesday, Oct. 4, at a valuation jump of 23.5 percent.
The survey will measure
district residents support
for two main options: a new
2,200-student high school
or that new high school plus

a new elementary school. It
also asks how residents feel
about no longer using the
Sugar Creek Elementary and
New Century School buildings, as well as three amenities at the potential new
high school: an auditorium,
outdoor athletic competition
fields and a swimming pool.
The school board is expected to host a Nov. 14 meeting at Badger Ridge Middle
School to review the results of
the survey with any members
of the public interested.
To get a referendum on the
April 2017 ballot as currently
planned, the board will have
to approve a ballot question
by late January.

New tax projections

cause district to halt
printing
The city closed its deal

last week to sell the historic Matts house for $1.
City administrator
Jeff Mikorski made that
announcement Monday
during the Common Councils regular meeting.
Local rehabilitation
specialist Troy Rost had
persuaded alders to sell
him the property earlier
this year so he can rebuild
it and preserve its historic character, months
after other residents and
the Verona Area Historical Society persuaded
the council not to tear the
building down.
The city approved a
d eve l o p e r c o n t r a c t i n
August, and Rost told the
Press last month he would
have the building finished
within 18 months and
adno=490894-01
They sure have something to talk

about this year.
With money flowing and available
at unprecedented levels because of
the closure of the Epic tax-increment
financing district and overall continued growth, departments have been
encouraged to come up with options
for alders to consider.
And they have.
Nearly every department has proposed some sort of additional staffing
or major capital outlay, from an executive assistant in the police department and a second planner to a massive rebuilding of Firemans Park that
would feature a splash pad.
Even the fire department, which finished reorganizing its staff last year
with the new station, has suggested
into the consciousness of alders.

The Finance committee is planning
two days next week to discuss the various options. It plans to get a budget
recommendation to publication and
to the full council a week earlier than
normal to allow alders to sort out their
own priorities and propose amendments.
Normally, the council budget presentation is the week of Thanksgiving, with adoption after the public
hearing the following Monday. This
year, the budget presentation and public hearing are scheduled for Nov. 14,
with adoption possible that night but
possible discussion of amendments
Nov. 21 (during a no-action committee-of-the-whole meeting) and adoption Nov. 28.
including a new high school building

in the referendum. The question they
now have to decide is how many amenities to include with it, and whether
to construct a new elementary school
at the same time.
The referendum will likely be for
at least $153.4 million, and could be
as high as $214 million. There will
also likely be a separate referendum
question to cover operating costs at a

new school or schools.
Residents can take the survey on
paper or online before the Nov. 7
deadline.

Whistle While You Work

Music is truly a universal language. We dont need
to understand the lyrics to know whether a song is
happy or sad because the music literally speaks the
language of our souls, pulling our heartstrings or
uplifting our spirits in the process. It is amazing how
readily our spirits can be moved by music. Armies
have harnessed the power of music for centuries with
marching music and fight songs, and we all know
the power of music to make us weep. Under the right
circumstances, a sad song will move everybody to
tears. One of the more potent uses of music is to help
us complete our work, especially when the work is
long and hard. When armies march, theres a reason
they sing cadences; it keeps them all in step and it
motivates them. For work that were not particularly
enthusiastic about, a happy upbeat song can keep us
going. Most activities can be improved with the right
music, so whether you are literally or figuratively
dancing to the music, sing a song unto the Lord and
use music to enhance your life.
Christopher Simon, Metro News Service
Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord,
always giving thanks to God the Father for everything,
in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Ephesians

Becoming Billy
Teen dancer makes acting debut in Verona Area Community Theaters fall musical
The Dvoraks said they plan
to follow Pierantozzi closely
as his talents lead him to what
they believe could be Broadway and beyond, but theyre
eager to savor this moment
while it lasts.
This is one of our dream
shows, and to have the cast
step up and do it as well as
theyve done, its better than
we could ever imagine, Terry
Dvorak said.
Billy Elliot is produced
by VACT founder Dee Baldock who also plays Billys
If You Go
The title character of Verona Area Community Theaters

upcoming production of Billy Elliot overcomes steep
odds to come into his own as
a dancer, and its a transformation Pete Pierantozzi, the
16-year-old performer portraying Billy onstage, can certainly identify with.
Since auditioning for the
show and his first major
acting role in July, he has
packed hours of rehearsal and
vocal practice into a schedule
typically dominated by competitive dancing with the Kehl
School of Dance. In the years
since he began dancing at 8
years old, the Middleton High
School sophomore decided
he wants to pursue professional dance as a career, and
said auditioning with VACT
presented an opportunity to
broaden (his) performance
skills into singing and dancing, as well.
Ive definitely grown so
much, Pierantozzi said of
the experience. I feel much
more mature in my dancing
and my performing, and in
how I show emotion onstage.
Expanding into that unfamiliar territory has been anything but effortless, he told
the Press, but Terry Dvorak,
who is co-directing the show
with her daughter, Alyssa,
had quite a different impression after watching his growth
over the past several months.
What he has is magical
he is an incredibly talented
actor without even trying,
she said. When he says that
he becomes Billy, I absolutely believe him, because he
makes it seem effortless. Hes
beyond his years, between his
talent level and his composure.
All five performances of
Billy Elliot, planned for
7:30p.m. Thursday, Oct. 20,
Friday, Oct. 21, and Saturday,
Oct. 22, with 2p.m. matinees
on Saturday and on Sunday,
Oct. 23, will be held at the

Richard St.
The musical is based on
the 2000 film, which follows
a young English boy who
discovers a strong passion and
talent for ballet dancing in the
midst of the 1984-1985 coal
miners strike, according to a
VACT news release. Its stage
version, however, is more elusive when it comes to smaller
audiences. The play, which
features music by Elton John,
first debuted in London in
2005, but the La Crosse Community Theatre became the
first community theater company in the U.S. to tackle the
production just earlier this
year.
Part of the reluctance
smaller theater companies
have toward taking on a production like Billy Elliot
is the worry that they wont
find an young actor ambitious
enough to handle the role. But
from the moment Pierantozzi
auditioned, VACT staff knew
they wouldnt share that problem.
There was nobody else
that could handle the magnitude of this role, Alyssa
Dvorak said, adding that capturing the emotional turbulence of Billys experience,
especially for teenager new to
acting, is a ton of pressure.
The show, which contains
adult language and themes,
even demands its performers
grandma in the play and

features costumes by Lynn
Vilker. Tickets are $15 for
general admission; $10 for
seniors 65 years and older
and children/students through
high school and can be purchased in advance or at the
door, depending on availability. For information or to purchase advance tickets, visit

Geordie dialect. Pierantozzi
said getting the hang of the
accent was extremely intimidating at first, but got easier as assistant director Sara
Pfantz gave him one-on-one
coaching and he started using
it outside rehearsal around
family and friends.
The shows plentiful dance
numbers, meanwhile, are
constantly weaving in and
out throughout the story and
highlight Pierantozzis natural
talent as a dancer, said Alyssa Dvorak, who also serves
as the shows choreographer.
Some of those numbers feature all or most of the shows

tremendous chemistry as a

Pierantozzi sought private

Top-35 finish for Lauren Shorter at state

Anthony Iozzo
Assistant sports editor
Junior Lauren Shorter hoped to shoot a

little lower in her first time at the WIAA
Division 1 state meet as an individual, but
she still was able to finish in the top half.
Shorter who was the No. 5 golfer on
last years team that made state had to
fight through a lot of tough breaks throughout the tournament whether it was a few
putts that just rolled past the edge of the
cup or Tuesday on the fourth hole when
some unlucky lies cost her strokes.
But in the end, her 34th overall score of
175 (86-89) was still impressive for the
junior.
Throughout the two days, when you
start getting a few holes where you are
missing putts and putts are going on the
edge, that starts to wear on you. She never
let that affect her in terms of sticking with
the plan, head coach Jon Rebholz said.
The state stage also didnt have an affect
on Shorter, who was there with the varsity team in 2015 and also played in several
summer tournaments.
While her putting wasnt as effective,

Rebholz said she struck the ball well both
days.
On Monday, she finished with just two
double bogeys and added four pars and a
birdie. On Tuesday, she collected five pars
and a birdie but also had two triple bogeys
and two double bogeys.
One of those triple bogeys was on the
fourth hole when she had to hit behind a
tree twice and also ended up in the thick
rough to the left of the hole.
But she remained calm, hit a chip on
the green and nailed a 10-foot putt to save
strokes on what could have been a disastrous hole.
Those types of plays are reasons why she
ended up in the top half at state.
She is a solid No. 1 and that shows
when you get into a pressure situation of
state like that, Rebholz said.
Hartland Arrowheads Emily Lauterbach
won the individual state title with a 2-under
par 142, the only golfer that ended the tournament under par.
Arrowhead also won the D1 team title
with a 624.

Conley nets
special qualifier
to reach state
Jeremy Jones
Sports editor
Freshman Meredith Conley was

awarded a special qualifier earlier this
week and will play in the WIAA Division 1 girls state tennis tournament
Oct. 13 inside Nielsen Tennis Stadium.
Conley didnt advance to sectionals
but Verona girls tennis coach Mark
Happel nominated Conley after her
loss at subsectionals.
She has posted a 15-9 record this
season, with all of her losses coming
against state qualifiers. Conley has six
quality wins over fellow state qualifiers, including Kai Heineman of Middleton.
We play a very difficult schedule
against some of the best players in the
state, Happel said. I think that has
definitely helped Meredith. I felt that
she had a pretty good chance of earning a special qualifier.
Thirty two of the 56 singles players at state earned an automatic state
qualifying berth by winning their first
match at sectionals. Each of the states
eight sectionals then has two special
qualifiers to round out the state bracket.
Conley earned one of those qualifiers from the Madison Memorial
sectional and will face 11th-seeded
Andi Weise (31-2) of Homestead at
11:30a.m. Thursday in the first round.
Its a tough match out of the gate,
but I know Meredith is thrilled to be
playing at state, Happel said. She has
worked extremely hard this season.

Defensive struggle ends in first loss, Cats still tied for first Big Eight Conference
Anthony Iozzo
Whats next?
Both offenses struggled

Friday as the Verona Area
High School football team
was edged 13-9 at Sun Prairie, putting both teams in a
first-place tie (7-1) in the Big
Eight Conference.
The Wildcats scored early
in the first quarter and would
only add a safety in the second half. Sun Prairie scored
a touchdown in each half,
going 1-for-2 on point after
attempts.
Much of the struggles are
due to both defenses playing
well, with Sun Prairie collecting four interceptions,
recovering a fumble and
holding the Wildcats to 144
total yards. Verona collected
five sacks and an interception
and held the Cardinals to 193
total yards.
They were bringing a lot
of guys, and we just werent
physical enough up front
and Drew couldnt find any
seams, head coach Dave
Richardson said. We had to
spread things out and give it
a shot, and we just couldnt
connect on a few plays and
they made a couple of great
interceptions.
They made plays to
change the field position,
which hurt us. If we could
have had them going 90
yards and 80 yards like we
Verona finishes the regular

Sun Prairie (7-1) travels to

a Verona win would give the

outright.

If the past two games

against Sun Prairie and Middleton are a gauge for the
Verona Area High School
boys soccer team, then the
Wildcats need to improve if
they will make noise in the
postseason.
Verona dropped a 10-1
decision to third-ranked Middleton Monday, after falling
5-0 to Sun Prairie Thursday.
The losses dropped the
Wildcats to 3-3-2 in the Big
Eight Conference and come
right before the seeding meeting that decides the potential

matchups at regionals and
sectionals.
There have been signs of
potential all season, but the
past two losses sting. Besides
scoring one goal Monday,
Verona also gave up the most
goals in a game all season.
In fact, the Wildcats hadnt
even allowed five goals in
a game this season prior to
Thursdays loss.

back Drew King lost a fumble to give the ball back to the
Cardinals.
Sun Prairie went 3-and-out
once again on the next drive,
but Verona gave the ball right
back three plays later on
another interception.
Verona had one more
chance to get the ball back
with a few seconds left, but
two offsides penalties gave
the Cardinals a first down and
the win.
We had hoped that we had
some guys that could make
some plays, and tonight just
wasnt our night, Richardson said. Offensively, we
are better than this, and their
defense made us look pretty
average.
The game started with
bang for Verona. The defense
forced a 3-and-out, and on
the second play for Verona
from scrimmage, Fink found
Murphy for 3-yard pass that
turned into a wild play after
he passed the ball back to
King on a hook-and-ladder.
King fumbled the ball, but
it bounced right back into
his arms. Time stopped for a
second, but players from the
sidelines yelled for King to
run. And before Sun Prairie
had a chance to react, King
was on his way for a 67-yard
touchdown.
We felt that we would run
that play and get a touchdown
and get up 7-0 and maybe get
a another field goal or something. We were hoping 10 to
14 points would be enough to
win it, and it was, Richardson said. It turned out the
way we wanted to, but we

Verona History
July
40 years ago
Electors at the school board annual meeting voted to
spend up to $650,000 on an addition to the 11-year-old
Verona Elementary School and the Fourth Grade building.
The project added nine classrooms, a library, the
Step Room, and several other modifications, including
a change to the bus traffic flow and a parking area for
teachers. About 80 new students were expected to come
to the school in the fall, but some were concerned about
pickup and dropoff along the highway and about the district did not have a school in Fitchburg yet.
The buildings, now the site of Sugar Creek Elementary
and New Century schools, are both likely to be demolished in the next three or four years.
Verona held a huge Bicentennial parade, with fireworks and a three-day festival. That summer weekend
festival, which originated with the villages sesquicentennial in 1972, became a tradition and eventually morphed into what we now know as Hometown Days.
Veronas police voted 4-0 to join the Teamsters union
to gain job protection and a little more bargaining power, as one officer put it.
30 years ago
Veronas Diana Gering emceed the Miss Teen of
America pageant in Eau Claire several months after finishing second runner-up to the national title.
After hearing from an intern who researched options
for the citys downtown tax-increment financing district,
the Common Council decided to seek input from the private sector. Mayor Phil Salkin pointed out that the district, which has since been closed, was created without
any sort of concept about how it should be used.
NAPA Auto Parts opened at 606 W. Verona Ave.
The Library Board was unable to get the city to agree
to an expansion, despite the library having secured a federal grant and produced a space needs study showing it
was thousands of square feet short of what it needed.
The rejection of at least $300,000 in matching funds
meant the $125,000 grant went to another project. But
alders and the mayor said there were many other projects
that also needed the citys attention and that the citys
contribution to the library had increased over time. The
vote was 4-4, but two-thirds was needed to change the
budget.
The school board terminated the contract of troubled
Baileys Bus Service, which was unable to produce the
proper insurance in time.
With the district having just worked out an arrangement with the teachers union, that left only a month to
arrange transportation. But a week later, it began working out a contract with Verona Bus Service.
The city put baseball and softball diamonds in the
new Community Park off U.S. Hwy. 18-151 (now East
Verona Avenue).
20 years ago
Two teens convicted of attempting to murder Veronas Jackie Millar were sentenced one for 80 years in
jail and the other for 70 years.
The two had pleaded guilty to reduced charges of
attempted murder and felony attempted murder.
Millar had found the boys stealing her car the previous November in Reedsburg, where she was visiting, and
they forced her back into the house and shot her in the
head, then stole the car and set it on fire. After spending
six weeks in a coma, she ended up paralyzed on one side
and legally blind.
According to local news reports, Millar forgave both
men and began visiting them annually in prison. Both
have sought parole in the past three years.
Savanna Oaks Elementary School student Ross Larson, 10, underwent a liver transplant at the University of
Wisconsin, then returned home nine days later.
Veronas senior Babe Ruth baseball team won the
state championship.
Five homes on Shuman Street were razed, moved to
the town and then burned to clear way for the expansion
of Miller and Sons Supermarket.
That expansion would essentially double the stores
size, to about 45,000 square feet.
The school board defeated an attempt to pay site
council members for their work with local schools.
Former Verona Area High School swimmer Neil
Walker represented the United States as an alternate at
the Summer Olympic Games in Atlanta.
The new city administrator position drew 49 applicants.
10 years ago
A plan for a big-box shopping center on the west side
of the city finally got through the concept plan stage after
alders put a 100,000-square-foot limit on the size of the
buildings.
The plan never went through, and eventually owners Rex
Fletcher and Jerry Wuebben sold the property to T. Wall
Properties, which also abandoned an approved plan and later sold most of it to the Verona Area School District.
Alders voted 4-3 to deny McDonalds a permit to operate for 24 hours a day, with some of them basing it on a
previous decision to limit the hours of Culvers, located a
block to the west.
The city later overturned that decision, and McDonalds
has been operating 24/7 ever since.
The Dane County Coroner began investigating the
untimely death of 16-year-old Jasmine Gant, a Verona Area
High School student who was giving birth at the time. It
was later determined, and admitted by St. Marys Hospital,
that a nurse had given an epidural in the wrong place on the
operating table.
Several notable regional dignitaries, including politicians, news anchors and the Badger womens basketball coach all joined in to the kickoff of the United Ways
Schools of Hope program, which matched adult volunteers with kids who needed remedial reading help.
The school district has since taken over the program.
A former VAHS basketball star, Deandre Buchanan,
pleaded not guilty of a murder charge in North Dakota. He
was acquitted the following spring.
Buchanan told jurors that the victim was trying to get
back a gun he had wagered and lost during a dice game and
it accidentally went off.
The city began putting a huge sewer pipe under Badger
Mill Creek, requiring the stream to be diverted through a
pipe or several days just south of Firemans Park.
It also caused the beach water level to drop by five feet,
forcing the beach to close until the following summer.
Verona had six different athletes represented in the state
all-star teams for three sports, including discus champion
Jake Stiner.
The state Department of Public Instruction warned
VASD it needed to fix a disparity between the amount of
white and minority kids who were referred to special education services.
Verona Area High School math teacher Anne Boehm
died at 32 of cancer.
The man who had robbed AnchorBank a year earlier,
29-year-old Marvin Baker, was sentenced to 14 years in
prison.
Protesters and many locals came to an open house displaying the various options for a 345 kV electric line that
could have gone through Verona. Instead, it ended up taking
a Beltline route.
The Common Council approved the creation of the
citys eighth tax-increment finance district, ostensibly to
put a road at Westridge Parkway between Verona Avenue
and Paoli Street for the planned Home Town Center (now
known as the West End).
That plan was later abandoned.
Fitch-Rona EMS joined a regional cooperative network
to improve response times.

The Verona School Board voted to hold a third referendum on the high school building by September 15.
The first two had failed, and this one, for $1.25 million,
switched the plan to a partial two-story building and separated the proposal for the swimming pool.
The Madison furniture cleaning and carpet laying
firm Cushmans purchased a vacant building in Verona to
use as a new office. The building had formerly belonged
to the Niglis farm implement firm.
A fire in a vacant home was extinguished by meter
reader James W. Rupnow. Rupnow came across the fire
as he was making his meter-reading rounds. He was subsequently awarded special recognition by the Madison
gas and Electric Company for his initiative in dousing
the fire and contacting the authorities.
Angry citizens confronted the Verona Village and
Planning Boards with a 128-signature petition protesting
the inclusion of apartments and duplexes in the Palmer
Addition, around Melody Lane. When board members
attempted to recess, one of the citizens pounded on the
table and declared that the boards had no need to discuss
public business privately. The recess idea was then canceled.
The group did not get its wish, however, as the Village
Board did not have enough votes in August to overturn it.
The school board approved a new budget of $840,704
for the 1966-1967 school year and the district reached a
valuation of $31.7 million, up more than $2 million from
the previous year.
This years Verona Area School District budget is
$70.5 million.
The Verona Jaycees sponsored a Trap Shoot that drew
a crowd of 500.
Verona was chosen as Hometown USA by the 101st
Airborne Division of the United States Air Force, in
thanks for printing unit member Roger A. Rotars appreciation letter. In September, the 101st honored their decision by presenting the town with the Vietnam flag.

Transgender: VASD staff to receive training
Enrollment up slightly
Sugar Creek has biggest

increase, 29 students
2016 enrollment
SCOTT GIRARD
Enrollment in the Verona Area School

District is 18 students higher in this
school year than last.
The largest increase comes at Sugar
Creek Elementary School, with 29 more
students, followed closely by Pre-K at 26.
That increase, up to 5,445 students district-wide, is largely offset in the other
elementary schools, though, with Country
View Elementary School 22 students lower than the 2015-16 school year. Glacier
Edge and Stoner Prairie were also lower
than last year by six and eight students,
respectively.
Those numbers, finalized on the third
Friday in September, are the official
enrollment count, based on how many students were in seats that day.
Some board members wanted clarification on why the attendance at CV went
down even after the decision last year
to redistrict Scenic Ridge and Cathedral
Point households there from GE, where
overcrowding was a problem.
Clearly the redistricting is not populating Country View, board member Renee
Zook said. At least not yet.
While some households in those areas
simply dont have school-age children
yet, superintendent Dean Gorrell also
stressed the schools overall attendance
area has regularly created fluctuation as
its population is especially mobile.
Each middle school in the district grew
this year, with seven more students at
Badger Ridge, six more at Savanna Oaks
and 11 more at Core Knowledge Charter
School in grades six through eight.

That counts the number of school-age

attend school here.
Though the district is still net positive
on open enrollment, with more students
open enrolling in than out, its a smaller margin than in past years. This year,
143 students are open enrolling out, with
186 open enrolling in, mostly at the high
school level.

redundant and furthered

stereotypes.
The activity thats prohibited by this language
is already prohibited by
law, King said. Nationally much of the opposition to policies that affirm
transgender identity has
included negative mischaracterizations of these
folks. In that mischaracterization, this sort of
activity has been attached
to that.
Calling it an insulting
implication, he asked the
wording be removed or
at least moved out of the
transgender policy.
Administrators had added the language in because
of a discussion during the
committees policy formation about whether to
include the words consistently asserted gender
identity. Because no one
could offer a definition of
consistently asserted,
the district eventually took
that out.
Superintendent Dean
Gorrell cautioned the
board to include that language somewhere.
There is a constituency,
too, thats going to be concerned, he said. I dont
think the board can dismiss that out of hand.
Eventually, board members agreed the phrase, if
necessary, could instead
go into the districts general harassment policy.
The support plan, which

includes questions and
information for a staff
member to gather from
a gender nonconforming
student, was also approved
Monday.
Board member Amy
Almond, who served on
the committee last fall that
generated the original policy, lamented the policys
necessity, even as she voted for it.
Until people can act
appropriately, we have to
have something to get us
to the end, which I hope
in someday not too far we
can say we dont need this
policy anymore, Almond
said.
The board also looked
at a draft of policies
and procedures for staff
to follow that will help
ensure consistency among
the school sites in their
response to transgender
students. Thats likely to
be approved later this fall.
Gorrell cautioned that
administrators would need
time to train staff on the
new policy and how to
work with transgender
students using the support
plan, and asked that board
members expect it to be
implemented no sooner
than second semester this
year.
Were not ready tomorrow to launch into this,
he said.
The board also asked
for a report back mid-semester or at the end of the
school year to hear how

its going and hopefully
gather feedback on if anything needs to be changed,
which administrators were
glad to agree to.

Parents laud VAIS support at board meeting
One week after a committee meeting cast doubt

on the future of Verona
Area International School,
parents showed up to make
sure the school board heard
their view.
Nine parents spoke to the
board, with many others in
the audience, sharing stories about the support their
children have received at
VAIS, a Chinese-language
immersion charter school.
That support was one
of the concerns cited by
administrators and board
members at an Oct. 3 Curriculum, Instruction and
Assessment committee
meeting, as the schools
attendance and therefore funding for staff has
sometimes required more
open enrollment students
than the district would like.
There were also concerns
about attrition, as students
who leave in higher grades
cannot be easily replaced
because half of the day is
taught in Mandarin.
Because of the small
nature of VAIS, we dont
necessarily have the support necessary for struggling learners, director of
curriculum and instruction
Ann Franke said at that
meeting. Whenever you
like library time and a technology coordinator, to fully

fund support for students
struggling in reading or
math.
The board is awaiting data from Franke on
the schools performance
on various tests. That is
expected to be available
before the boards Oct. 24
meeting, when discussion
will begin.
Charters, usually fiveyear agreements that outline goals for the school
and exceptions from some
standards, are normally
renewed around December
so that parents of incoming kindergartners have
a chance to examine the
choices for their student.
VAIS governing council
president Carolyn Jahnke
told the board they should
prepare for the group to be
regulars at upcoming meetings until the charter is considered, which likely will
be in November or December.

very challenging to provide
all of the resources necessary because of economy of
scale.
Parents on Monday mentioned social and physical
problems their children
had when they entered the
school and how those were
taken care of by the staff
at VAIS. Krissa Hinzman
spoke of her sons selective
mutism in public situations,
in which he wouldnt be
able to speak when he was
uncomfortable.
(He) fully overcame his
selective mutism at school,
she told the board.
Others mentioned children with ADHD, cleft palate and social problems that
had been solved through the
support at VAIS, with others adding they moved to
VASD specifically for the
opportunity VAIS provided.

week earlier, administrators
had shared their concerns

Zoning: Residents will take vote on opt-out in spring
Town of Verona
Gun rule would limit target shooting
In brief

then decide not to opt out.
In February, Gov. Scott Walker signed a bill
that allowed Dane County townships to set
their own zoning standards, rather than have to
work through the countys as they do now.
The Dane County Towns Association pushed
hard for the bill, complaining that county officials had kept many towns from growing as
they needed to maintain a solid tax base.
County officials, though, opposed the
change, stressing that county oversight provides consistent standards around the area.
Currently, the system has joint review of
approval for rezoning between the towns and
the countys Zoning and Land Regulation
board, which some towns see as overzealous
in its decisions to preserve farmland.
Many towns around the county had said they
were happy with their relationship with the
county on zoning. Even Town of Verona officials did not have many specific complaints at
the time.
But Town Chair Mark Geller said during the
legislative discussions, it was a good idea to
give towns the opportunity.
Arnold stressed there are many more steps
town officials must take to actually opt out,
including an existing conditions map and
adopting a comprehensive plan a process the
town is currently undergoing, but with a timeline that may be too late, leading the town to
readopt its 2006 plan.
There are a lot of balls in the air, she said.
Town residents will have the final say on
the decision, Arnold said, with a vote at the
annual town meeting next spring. She added
that she hopes both the DCTA and the county
can communicate their positions on the matter,
and the reasons behind them, with residents
before that vote is taken.

on its Midtown Road property.
Town planner/administrator Amanda Arnold said the decision was financial for the sanctuary but was not expected to
change operations at all.
The Town Board approved a rezoning of the property Oct. 4.
Extra engineering
The Town Board voted to use $20,000 remaining in the public works budget to get an early start on some projects.
Half of the money will go toward engineering on a few
roads that could be repaired next summer, Arnold said.
The other $10,000 will go toward repairing a large patch
of Locust Road that is just kind of falling apart, she said.
Town Hall, logo updates

The town is working on marketing the current town hall as
the new building nears completion, and also considering a
new logo.
Arnold said town officials are talking to brokers to get a
handle on the asking price that we want as an expected January move to the new location nears.
Officials are also using the timing to come up with a new
logo, since we need to update all of our letterhead, Arnold
explained.
She said they hope the logo can represent the towns rural
character while also showing it is moving into the future.
Tracking problems
A new internal Report a Problem system will hopefully
help town staff keep better track of trends around the town.
Arnold said a new database will help quantify the number
of repeating issues that are coming up among the many miscellaneous issues that come up, instead of just going through
feel.
She expects staff to report numbers to the town board every
couple of months.

Town Board members discussed the draft at their Oct.
4 meeting, and are expected
to work out details at a future
public hearing, though town
planner/administrator Amanda
Arnold said the date for that
has not been set.
She told the Press the ordinance came about because
of the mix of rural and urban
areas within the town.
We have several reports of
gunfire in areas that are not ideal for that, that geographically
are a little tighter, Arnold said.
The draft ordinance, which
still has to be reviewed by a
lawyer, outlines setbacks from
property lines and times of the

PART-TIME REGISTERED NURSE

Oregon manor is seeking a dedicated parttime RN. Potential candidates with good
communications skills, energetic and hard
working to join our 5 star team. Experience in
long term care preferred but willing to train the
right candidate. EOE.
This position requires a WI RN license.
Firearms ordinance
would not affect
hunting, pest control
day when shooting for target

practice is allowed. It also limits those who wish to shoot to
two hours per day, unless they
get an agreement letter signed
by neighbors within a certain
distance.
The ordinance would not
apply to the use of duly supervised rifle or pistol ranges or
shooting galleries approved by
the Town Board. It also makes
an exception for law enforcement or military personnel
using their firearm in their official duties, and discharge ...
solely for the protection of life
or property.
In the draft, people would
be forbidden from shooting a
gun within 100 feet of property
lines without permission of the
neighbor and could only shoot
between the hours of 9:30a.m.
and 30 minutes before sunset.
The two-hour limit would
not apply to anyone shooting a
gun more than 500 yards from
any neighboring residence.
The public hearing could
come as soon as November,
but Arnold said officials were
waiting to see what else needs
to be on that agenda as budget
season has also arrived.
