Classes for the 1,258 enrolled stu-

for struggling students, to enrich-

prevalent in the academic school year.
Those courses included Art and

Verona Public Library

Sunday hours added in

Photo submitted
Max Metcalf, 12, has been practicing in the hills south of
Verona this summer in preparation to ride in the MS 150
Bike Tour, which runs from Pewaukee to Whitewater to Madi-
son this weekend. Hell be the youngest rider in the event.
initial budget proposal
HELU WANG
Unified Newspaper Group
After months of discussion, years of
requests and more than 1,000 respons-
es to a public survey this summer, the
Library Board is considering adding
Sunday hours to the Verona Public
Library next year.
It voted unanimously at its July 26
meeting to have library director Stacey
Burkart take an initial budget proposal
to the city. That proposal adds $63,033
to last years budget and would fill in
the extra hours with lower-paid employ-
ees, rather than adding additional librar-
ians.
It amounts to a 3 percent increase,
which is in line with recent years bud-
gets. But even though the board has
control over its budget, it is at the mercy
of the city for funding.
And some members of the board
were hesitant to include it, worrying
about cost.
If Burkarts plan proceeds, six lim-
on a recent patron survey ranked Sun-
day afternoon hours as a priority for the
library to focus on in the next few years.
Some even suggested trading another
day to be closed for Sunday hours.
Some patrons, particularly full-time
working parents, said the limited week-
end hours make it tough for their fam-
ilies to visit. Instead, they travel to other
libraries that have more weekend hours,
such as Fitchburg and Middleton.
Id be thrilled to see the library open
on Sundays, particularly for working
families, one patron wrote in the sur-
vey.
Some students also requested more
Sunday hours, saying it would allow
them to concentrate on studying, work
on projects and research in the library.
Most of the concerns expressed about
the plan were the cost.
Board president Steve Runde said
Sunday hours might be a possibility in
the future, but the board has to figure
out how to fit them into the budget.
If all things are equal and theres
employees would be needed to add
Sunday hours.
Ald. Brad Stiner (Dist. 3), the Verona
Common Councils representative on
the board for more than a decade, noted
the survey results did not get responses
from a majority of taxpayers.
We are looking at the situation that
were catering to a small group of peo-
ple, Stiner said. The discussion is
about 14 percent of the taxpayers. This
is not a good result of what the taxpay-
ers are saying how we spend their mon-
ey.
He also doubted the Sunday hours
will be efficiently used by the public.
It might change the standard that we
have in the city for a very long time, he
said. Sunday is meant to be more for
church and family.
Stiner also said the council has been
trying to limit the annual budget growth
rate to 2 to 3 percent.
For the library, Burkart said, the bot-
tom line is maintaining other regular
operations.

New generation ited-term employees would be paired

year. Summers would not be included.

Unified Newspaper Group
For Rick Goveks family,
participating in the MS 150
Bike Tour has been a fam-
ily affair, with him riding
every year since it started
22 years ago, along with his
older brother, Drew.
Hell be joined at this
years ride by both his wife,
Carrie, and his son, Max
Metcalf, 12, who will be the
youngest rider participat-
ing in the event. The tour,
which is Aug. 5-6 and rais-
es awareness about Multi-
ple Sclerosis, goes from the
Milwaukee area to Madison
with an overnight stay in
Whitewater, featuring mul-
tiple route options each day.
Rick Govek got start-
ed riding in the tour to
help raise awareness of the
disease that has afflicted
friends and family mem-
bers, including two of his
brothers. For Max, its
something hes always been
interested in joining in on,
and now hes old enough to
do just that.
A seventh-grader-to-be
at Badger Ridge Middle
School, Max told the Press
hes been training for the
race for weeks, riding up to
35 miles a day on solo trips
to get ready.

ested in biking ever since

It was easy to get on
board with that, she said.
Both of us already enjoyed
biking. You have to be 12
to ride, so he signed up as
soon as he could.
Carrie said the entire
family feels its important
to let people know about
multiple sclerosis, as it has
hit home for them. She said
Ricks older brother, Drew,
is doing fine with his
battle with MS, while his
younger brother, Ed, has
suffered more debilitating
physical effects from the
disease, which has confined
him to a wheelchair.
(Hes) facing many life
challenges, she said.
With their family mem-
bers in mind, the family
is preparing to raise some
money for MS research,
and enjoy each others com-
pany at the same time.
Were looking to raise
peoples awareness and help
in any way we can toward
the fundraising and go out
and have fun, Carrie said.
Max said it feels pretty
good to know hell be able
to join the effort this year,
too.
I feel confident that if
other people can do it, I can
do it, and I just really want-
ed to do it, he said.

Commission
JIM FEROLIE
Verona Press editor
Whats getting reviewed
by the citys Plan Commis-
sion this month might very
well be overshadowed by
what isnt.
Plans for a huge, taxpay-
er-supported apartment-re-
tail complex on West Vero-
na Avenue, a hotel next to
that complex and a grocery
store are taking longer than
expected, and a plan for a
downtown redevelopment
still hasnt returned for its
second step after several
months.
Though the projects on
the commissions agenda
Monday night are not at a
public hearing stage, both
are sure to gain interest.
A plan for age-restricted
senior apartments is tak-
ing a third run at approval,
and this time its for 80-100
units, closer to the size pro-
posed by the original devel-
oper but not quite as tall.
And the Farm and Fleet
development will look to
squeeze in one more small
business a Starbucks cof-
fee shop on the edge of the
big box stores parking area.
Senior apartments
The still-unnamed senior
complex at the site of an old
3.1 acres. The sheer size and
packed-in density of that
plan raised some eyebrows
on the Plan Commission,
and it went back for revi-
sions, rather than bringing a
rezoning request this month.
It remains shorter than the
Emerson on Main plan that
was proposed a year ago;
two stories with an under-
ground garage at the bottom
of the hill on the proper-
ty (on the south side). At a
maximum height of 35 feet
from the first-floor entry, its
quite a bit shorter than the
50 feet proposed by Emer-
son.
The new plan, getting an
informal initial review,
also has much lower den-
sity than FDGs first shot,
down from 45 units per
acre to 32 or fewer. And
perhaps more importantly
for this step, it shows com-
missioners a view through
the landscaping along the
citys right-of-way behind
it and several 3-D rendered
angles of what the property
would look like.
A letter with the submis-
sion explains the chang-
es, including architecture
designed to make the build-
ing look less blocky, open
areas for residents, land-
scaping in consideration
of adjacent single-family
homes and limited sur-
face parking.

over West Middleton Braves.
This win is huge which will give us

double. The Cavaliers were unable to
score a run as Derek Murphy hit into a
fielders choice to end the inning.
The Cavaliers were inconsistent mov-

after it had taken a beating at
the Plan Commission over
aesthetics, traffic and storm-

The new plan, which
earned a key approval, estab-
lished a new style for the
company, which does all its
new and remodeled buildings
as a near carbon copy. Bob
Blain, the companys CEO,
told the Press in a casual con-
