Historic building has

Saddened. A shame.
Unfortunate. Thats what
alders said about it.
But as Veronas oldest
buildings have been torn
down one by one over the
years, its most iconic, the
Matts house at the corner of
Verona Avenue and Main

the same way.

The 15th annual Verona Beach Bash drew more
than 430 people to Firemans Park Beach on Aug. 5.
Activities included a dunk tank, sand castles, inflatable slides, splash contests and water balloon toss.

Verona Area School District
Crucial steps ahead for West End purchase

Vanta board approves sale,
joint land owners next
Scott Girard
Unified Newspaper Group
The Verona Area School District

is getting closer to finalizing its purchase of the West End property as it
also readies to close on the other two
properties purchased through Aprils
referendum.
VASD received approval from voters in the spring election to borrow
bonds to purchase up to three pieces
of property, and also to use the condemnation process on one of those
three if necessary. Superintendent
Dean Gorrell told the Press Tuesday
the district will close Aug. 19 on the
Herfel and Erbach properties, in the

Town of Verona and on the west side
of the city, respectively.
Neither of those two was ever
in doubt, though, once the election results came in. However, the
third property, which neighbors the
Erbach property and could combine
with it to create a larger high school
campus, has had a tougher road to get
to even a purchase agreement.
Vanta, which owns the 45 acres
of West End land the district hopes
to purchase, recently approved the
sale to the district, but portions of the
property are jointly owned, and still
require approval from other property owners that have a stake in those
areas.
One of those owners, T. Wall
Enterprises, had refused the
agreement on grounds that there

had been bad communication with
its apartment residents on the property. Unable to meet T. Wall Enterprises contingencies, Vanta had to
back out of the deal with the district
just before the February deadline to
approve language for the referendum.
As a result, the referendum included condemnation language in the
event that an agreement could not be
reached.
T. Wall Enterprises later sold its
stake in that land to Steve Brown
Apartments.
The deadline in the purchase agreement for the condominium owner
approval is Aug. 14, though VASD

Verona man charged

with federal felony
Jacob Bielanski
A Verona man being

charged with illegally selling guns between 2011 and
2014 was a hobbyist, his
lawyers have claimed in
court documents.
Joseph E. GI Joe
Jelinek, 67, was charged
by the U.S. District Court
for the Western District
of Wisconsin in May with
selling firearms without a
federal firearms license, a
felony.
Attorneys for Jelinek
asked prosecutors to reveal
the identity of a confidential informant for the ATF
in the case, since the informant allegedly purchased a
firearm from Jelinek. The
government countered in a
letter to Jelineks attorneys

that the informants testimony in the case is not
transactional and can thus
remain confidential.
Documents also filed
with the court revealed
that for a six-month period,
from September 2013 to
March 2014, investigators
allege 33 instances where
a National Instant Criminal
Background Check System (NICS) query was run
for Jelineks name. NICS
is used by licensed firearms dealers to run a background check for every
firearm sold, and sellers
are required to notify ATF
when a buyer purchases
multiple guns simultaneously.
Attorneys for Jelinek
filed paperwork Aug. 3 asking for this information to
be suppressed, arguing that
retention of Jelineks NICS
transactions violates a law
requiring records of clean
background checks to be
purged within 24 hours.
NICS background checks
do not need to be conducted
when a gun is purchased
from a private, non-federally licensed seller, or at gun
shows.
A condition of Jelineks
bond currently requires
that he not possess any
weapons. These condition
were updated, according
to court documents, after
he told one court official
that he owned five or six
firearms, and later told
another that he had only
one. Jelineks attorneys
asked this condition to be
removed, noting that the
second official had asked
how many guns were in his
home, specifically, while
the other only asked how
many he owned in total.
The ATF reported to
Congress in 2000 that
nearly half of all guns used
in crimes come from gun
shows or straw purchases,

people legally able to own
a firearm who then sell
to buyers without a background check. This has led
to a number of ATF-led initiatives to crack down on
such purchases.
A 2014 report from the
City of Chicago, for example, said Wisconsin was the
third-largest source of outof-state guns confiscated at
crime scenes between 2009
and 2013, accounting for
3.6 percent, behind only
Mississippi and Indiana.
The report said roughly 40
percent of recovered guns
are purchased within Illinois.
Jelineks case is scheduled to go to trial on Oct.
13. If convicted, he faces up
to five years in federal prison. He is being represented
by Giesen Law Offices,
S.C., of Madison.

But because
of a respectful

and a responsive
school board who listened to them,
the problems are being worked on.
Theyre far from solved simply pushing back the personalized
learning timeline and creating a
new task force on behavior dont
quite get that far but I cant imagine what more the board could be
doing.
At that first meeting, and the
June 15 one where more students
and parents expressed their concerns, there were whispers among
some audience members that were
completely disrespectful.
The board might have earned
some derision, clearly not thinking
about who would be affected by a
long delay before the public comment portion June 1, but they did
not deserve to be characterized as
they were by some.
Since then, though, parents have
showed up at early-morning meetings of a new board committee to
further the discussion in a respectful way, and the board included
both of the most discussed issues

on its June 29 and July 20 agendas.
It remains to be seen who will
be on the task force to solve the
perceived lack of discipline problem many of the parents see. The
personalized learning problems will
largely depend on how the committee decides to use the extra years
granted to the original timeline,
but a draft timeline put together by
administrators is a great start.
For now, both are steps that show
the school board and district administrators are listening.
Participation is a key part of the
democratic process, but in two
years covering the school board, I
had seen about five people speak
up at board meetings before two
months ago.
Without children myself, I cant
imagine how some parents feel
about the challenges they see at
their childs school, and I applaud
those who have worked to come
forward in a respectful way. They
have also acknowledged that the
board cannot just snap its collective fingers and fix the problems
overnight.
Continuing to have that understanding and remaining involved,
whether that means being involved
on the task forces or simply coming
to the meetings, will be a key going

instinctively go to see whats
happening and who they might
know whos also there. Thats
what Hometown USA is about,
right?
The potential effect is almost
incalculable. The cost is not.
It will require some serious
investment using TIF, and it will
take time to put it all together.
You cant just snap your fingers
and make parking (though the
city is working on that a few
blocks away and is keeping its
eye open for other opportunities).
So whats clear to me is every
summer we wait, every summer
where we havent begun building
this tradition, adds to the chance
the momentum of our current
tradition at Harriet Park fades or
becomes less transferable. With
our current concerts still super
popular, the economy emerging
and downtown on everyones
minds, theres no time to waste.
I encourage everyone to find a
way to be involved. Community
groups can fundraise. Businesses
and residents can contribute
ideas, enthusiasm and possibly
in-kind work and let their leaders know were up for this sort
of investment and want it to be a
priority.
If we really want downtown to
develop into a thriving destination, it really ought to be.

But having that concert near
the downtown -- with several restaurants and shops in hearing and
seeing distance -- was magical.
Hundreds of cars lined the nearby
streets for more than an hour
before the concert, and people
were still frequenting shops and
other parks well after it was over.
Visitors and residents alike
planned their weeks around it,
turned it into an evening out.
They would eat nearby to hear
the music in the background,
shop in the breezy atmosphere.
Of course, the hard part for
Verona is that theres nowhere
like Saugatucks gazebo to stage
such an event. Hometown Junction Park, and the downtown
itself, for that matter, are not
up to accommodate that sort of
horde or even half of it.
That is a serious problem.
But anyone who hits the concerts in the park each year knows
wed have a great turnout if
the park and the parking could
accommodate. And imagine
if downtown Verona someday
became a place where people
know we just have something
going on there most summer evenings.

months and help the city keep its
downtown buildings filled. And

Bank.
The newly remodeled
7,500-square-foot building
houses a larger pantry store
and more storage capacity,
including a walk-in freezer
and cooler, so the organization can take advantage of
cost-saving bulk food purchases and more frequent
food drives. The singlestory structure has plenty of
windows for natural light,
so it is more accessible and
welcoming than the old
food pantry had been in
the basement of the citys
former library on Franklin

will still serve those in the

services will be available
to anyone who can benefit
from them.
Some of the additional
services will include an
on-site social worker from
Joining Forces for Families and nutritional education in The Prairie Kitchen
with cooking classes starting Aug. 13. Other rooms
are available for developing partner programs such
as legal assistance, health

screenings and financial
education.
Upon entering the building, guests will notice a
room for kids to play with
large windows so parents
can keep an eye on them
while taking advantage of
BPNNs services. There is
also a waiting area between
the JFF office, community
room and kids play area,
and a registration area is
located across from the
food pantry.
BPNNs new logo and
signage have recently been
installed on the outside of
the building. Maple Leaf
Landscaping crews also
donated their time and
materials to complete a
landscaping makeover with
new sod, mulch, plants and
trees at BPNN in July worth
approximately $20,000.
As of press time, the
Move the Food capital fundraising campaign was at
95 percent of its $435,000
goal, but donations will still
be needed yearly to keep
BPNNs services running.

Walk or Drive? What Would Jesus Do?

It is encouraging that fewer teenagers are learning how to
drive, or are putting off learning until somewhat later, when
their judgment is probably much better. Many cities and
towns are making their streets safer and more convenient
for walking, riding a bicycle or using public transportation. Perhaps in the future many of us wont need to own
a car to get around. If you are going to drive, you should
do it well. Driving safely and cooperatively with the other
people on the road says a lot about your character. I have
often wondered if Jesus was around today whether he
would drive a car, or perhaps ride a bike, or just stick to
walking. The New Testament portrays Jesus as frequently
walking, and scholars have estimated that Jesus may have
walked over 20,000 miles in his 33 years on earth. The
one instance where he rides (Matthew 21) has him riding
on a colt (or perhaps a donkey) into Jerusalema pretty
humble ride for the King of Kings. Perhaps Pope Francis is
right in his choice of vehicles, a used 1984 Renault which
was donated to the Vatican. No need to be driving anything
too fancy. And regardless of what kind of car we drive, we
should all follow the rules of the road and be extra cautious
around motorcyclists, bicyclists, and pedestrians, all of
whom are imperiled by careless drivers. So buckle up, keep
your eyes on the road, your hands on the wheel, and your
head out of your apps!
Christopher Simon
And what does your Lord require of you? To act justly
and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.

Verona pitcher Kyle Nelson (45) argues a call Sunday after Ridgeways Adam Halverson (45) was called safe at first base in the fifth inning. Halverson slid cleat first
into first baseman Mike Jordahl. The Cavaliers didnt win their appeal but won the game 10-0 in seven innings.
Cavaliers seek redemption

Verona takes advantage
of Ridgeway errors in
first round of playoffs
Michael Fiez
Verona Press
The Verona Cavaliers Home

Talent team continued their torrid
charge toward redemption with a
10-0 victory over the Ridgeway
Cardinals.
After last years early exit
against Oregon, the Cavaliers the
top seed for the second consecutive year came into Sundays
opening round looking to take care
of business.
We think were going to
win the whole thing every
year,manager Nick Krohn
said.Thats just kind of the way
we are. And there was never any
talk or thought about last year. Its
just a different year. New year,
new team.
Stalwart ace Kyle Nelson, a
Cavalier newcomer who is one
month removed from missing five
games with a stress fracture in his
foot, shares that confidence.

Throwing seven scoreless
innings on Sunday, Nelsons
scoreless streak extends to 49
innings.
After allowing a hit on his first
pitch of the game, Nelson settled
into a groove, stifling the Cardinals batters as he allowed only
three more hits in the next six
innings. He finished with eight
strikeouts, surrendering only one
walk.
Verona built an early lead in the
home half of the second inning,
when catcher Derek Murphy led
off with a walk before moving to

second a Danny Koss single.
Mitch Flora laid down a bunt to
advance the runners, resulting in
a close force play as Murphy slid
into third. The umpire called Murphy safe, leading to uproar from
the Ridgeway players, dugout and
fan section.
You know, sometimes a call
goes your way, sometimes it goes
the other teams way, Krohn said.
That one, maybe we got a break
on and we took advantage of it.

Seniors captains Lauren Supanich and Greta Schmitz won the

No. 1 doubles title at the Viking
Open summer tennis tournament
last weekend.
Supanich and Schmitz defeated Sauk Prairies Katie Mack
and Emma Liverseed in the first
round, 10-1, and Monona Grove
state qualifiers Emma Cosby and
Rysa Wiegel-Sterr in the second
round, 10-2.
They played state qualifiers
Kendra Halverson and Payton
Kahl of Stoughton in the championship round and won 6-1, 7-5.
Schmitz played No. 1 doubles
last year and qualified for the state
tournament herself with former
partner Stephanie Keryluk.
Supanich played No. 1 singles
last season and injured her shoulder midway through the season.
She looked strong last weekend
after nine months off, thought.
The girls have been playing tennis together since a very young
age and have talked about playing
doubles together since their freshman year, Kristi Supanich said.
Verona girls tennis tryouts start
Tuesday, where the girls will play
for a spot at either singles or doubles this fall.
Verona Little League
Dey one of six in Wisconsin to receive U.S. Cellular Community Coach award
Anthony Iozzo
Assistant sports editor
Verona Little
League coach Heith
Dey remembers
receiving an email
about the U.S. Cellular Community
Coach award.
The email was
urging to nominate Dey
coaches whose commitment went above and beyond
normal coaching duties and showed
exemplary support for the youth in
their community, but Dey honestly
just forgot about it.
So it was a very surprising and
humbling experience when Dey
received a call from Verona Little
League president Cale Battles to tell
him he was one of six people to earn

the community coach award this
year.
Dey was honored on Aug. 2 at
Miller Park during a baseball game
between the Milwaukee Brewers
and the Chicago Cubs.
Just because I know the quality
of coaches within the Verona Little
League, for myself to represent
Verona in front of the fans Sunday
at Miller Park, that is the reason I
was humbled more than anything
proudly representing what Verona
Little League is all about, Dey said.
I believe there were many other
coaches in our league that were very
deserving as well.
Dey, who has coached at various
levels including being an assistant at
Edgewood College, said he enjoys
teaching all of his young ballplayers
lessons they can use not only in the

sport as they grow older but in life as
well.
I absolutely love coaching little
league, Dey said. These kids are
really energetic, and it is just a matter of honing the skills they have.
Hopefully, I was able to foster more
excitement so they want to play the
next year.
As for his day at Miller Park, Dey
said his wife and son were in the
audience, and he joked that he only
wished he could have seen himself
accept the award on the big screen,
only watching a video his son took
later on.
That was pretty overwhelming in such a positive way. Hearing
your name over the PA and just having my son and my wife there to see
my face on the big screen it was
pretty cool, Dey said.

Dey was selected for the award
through Verona Little Leagues
participation in the U.S. Cellular
On Deck program. As part of the
On Deck program, each team in the
Verona Little League received a
Coaches Kit that included a rolling
cooler, wristbands, baseballs and a
scorebook. It also had Brewers rally
towels.
In total, U.S. Cellular supported
nearly 350 teams and provided
more than $100,000 worth of new
baseball equipment for the Verona Little League, Appleton Little
League, Kennedy (Madison) Little
League, Middleton Little League,
Monroe Parks and Recreation, Platteville Youth Baseball, Portage
Little League and Sun Prairie Little
League.
Mike Mikalsen (Kennedy Little

League), Jamie Guerrero (Middleton
Youth Baseball & Softball) Corey A.
Williams (Sun Prairie Little League),
Brian Bassett (Monroe Parks and
Recreation) and Duaine Pixler (Portage Little League) also won the
award.
U.S. Cellular is proud to recognize those who are committed to
making a positive impact on their
community by giving back their
time and supporting local youth,
said Laurie Poellinger, director of
sales for U.S. Cellular in Wisconsin. Heith and the other Community Coaches Award recipients
have exemplified this commitment
through their outstanding work with
youth baseball players in their communities.

Verona: Undefeated Cavaliers advance to second round in Sunday and Thursday playoffs
Continued from page 7
And thats what you
have to do. You never know
when its going to happen so
you just got to take advantage and thats what we
did.
Veronas offense took
advantage of a sloppy
Ridgeway defense on their
way to a four-run inning
after play restarted.
Klayton Brandt followed
with a sharp grounder that
was mishandled by the
Ridgeway second baseman,
allowing Koss and Murphy
to score.
Justin Scanlon drew a
walk before being caught in
a double play on a hard line
drive to the first baseman.
Regular season batting
champion Derek Burgenske
beat out an infield single to
score Flora.
The final run came on
a Luke Yapp single that
brought Brandt around to
score.
Verona matched the total
in the third inning as well.
Murphy led off the festivities with a single. Koss beat
out an infield single and

Flora laid down a perfect
bunt down the third base
line that prevented Ridgeway from making a play at
any base.
Brandts sacrifice fly
scored Murphy, while a
long fly out from Scanlon
advanced Koss. A subsequent Ridgeway error on a
Zach Spencer hit allowed
Koss to score, while more
sloppy defense on the same
play brought in Flora.
Burgenske then bashed a
single on a hit and run that
allowed Spencer to get to

the council that one of the

reasons was the location on
the west side of the property, too far from Paoli Street.
The new plan would instead
put a multi-tenant retail
building which Dresser said he hoped would
include a cafe along Paoli
Street and keep the apartment building, now a towering 36 units, backed up to
the bike trail.
The concept of bringing
more people close to downtown, of encouraging more
bike trail use and bringing
commercial activity next to
the industrial park continued to draw support from
both the council and the
commission. Alders, staff
and commissioners suggested it would make a nice
bookend to the City Centre
Condominiums downtown,
next to the Senior Center.
However, a few comments -- in an early, informal discussion stage called
a concept plan -- signaled
reluctance to go as far as
the owners want for financial viability.
Ald. Mac McGilvray
(D-1) said he appreciated
the importance of having
more people downtown but
had strong concerns about
the projects requested

units per acre, double the
citys standard and about
four higher than the highest
Verona has ever allowed.
Every time you approve
something that increases our historical density,
youve now raised the bar,
he said. Most of the people
in Verona are not wanting
the city to become downtown Madison.
Ald. Evan Touchett (D-4)
said he agreed with all of
McGilvrays points, including that if the city were to
waive its density maximum, it should expect at
minimum higher-quality
building materials in return.
Dresser replied that he
plans on living in the building some day and that the
sketch supplied was simply a starting point for the
approval process.
The previous week, commissioner Mike Goetz had
expressed mild concerns
about the density but said
he had no problem with the
size of the building because
of its placement just across
the trail from industrial buildings, something
The condition of the interior is nothing new to previous tenants, including the
owners of the long-gone
House of Flowers, who noted its flooded basement and
failing roof nearly a decade
ago before they moved two
blocks to the north.
Much of the historical
value is gone, Ald. Dale
Yurs (D-2) said at Mondays council meeting,
before later recalling a visit
inside the building nearly
20 years ago and thinking the public area was in
decent shape. Had some
of those things still existed, I would be in favor of
spending the money to stop
damages, but at this point, I
think Id just be in favor of
sending it out for (a request
for proposals by a private
developer).
Dist. 4 Ald. Heather
Reekies idea to salvage
some of the buildings key
architectural features for
use elsewhere, in some historical monument or plaque,
perhaps, drew several positive comments. Ald. Evan
Touchett (D-4) suggested
the city wait until the next
meeting to make any decisions, to give the public
time to digest the options,
even though nobody had
any alternatives to suggest.
At one point, Ald. Mac
McGilvray (D-1), a builder
by trade, questioned the
$461-per-square-foot full
rehabilitation figure delivered for free by Epics
architect, Cuningham
Group. That figure would
bring the building which
is unlikely to ever be a
home again to commercial code.
Cunninghams middle
figure, for a partial rehabilitation that would not
be suitable for occupancy,
was estimated to cost about
half as much. The lowest figure, around $50,000,
would simply prevent further damage by stabilizing
the foundation, patching up
the roof and removing some
walls inside, among other
things. But Monday, the

Commissioner Jeff Horsfall,
never a big proponent of
deviating from policy, was
concerned about the project
reverting to 10 years ago
when we were talking big
boxes.
Liberty Park zoning
The commission and

council unanimously
approved plans for a 650seat banquet facility in
Liberty Business Park that
was making its third trip
through the process (having gotten two separate
initial reviews at the commission).
The facility no longer planned to be operated by Lillianas owner

reported by the Press two
weeks ago will still connect to the hotel and has
been limited to operating
hours closing at midnight.
It is not allowed to have
outdoor music, and the
manager must be onsite
during any events.
The council didnt officially discuss a conceptual

change in zoning Liberty
Business Park to convert
about 30 acres from industrial to commercial designation, but Alds. McGilvray
and Jack Linder (D-2) had
some concerns nonetheless,
while reviewing a banquet
facility proposal for the
park.
I would like to see a

said, explaining that proposals seem to be deviating bit

Commissioner Goetz took

Other items
The commission and
council had only a few
comments on a final plat
for a plan to create six new
single-family lots along
Harper Drive, and the vote
in favor of it was unanimous by both bodies.
The new final plat creates six lots of similar size
to those across the street
and leaves one 6-acre lot
where the existing home
and pond are expected to
remain.
The commission
approved a 6,200-squarefoot addition to the Shed

line in violation of the city
rules, but city staff requested that Epic wait to correct
that procedural issue until

Some Madison Avenue marketing will get the Main Street treatment

Verona Vision Care and Modern

Verona History: June

50 years ago
Salem United Church
of Christ dedicated its new
19,000-square-foot building
on Mark Drive.
The church had undergone
three name changes since it
was organized in 1922 and at
the time had a congregation of
360 members.
The McPherson School,
getting ready to close for the
last time, held a reunion of
graduates, while Maple Corner
held its last school picnic.
McPherson school, which
opened in 1880 and moved
in 1916 to County Hwy. G in
the Town of Springdale, was
absorbed into the Verona Area
Public Schools system and
was no longer needed. At the
time, it had 16 or 17 students.
Maple Corners, on Fitchburg
Road, was founded in 1864
and didnt get indoor plumbing
or heating until 1955. It had 18
students.

the former Verona High School
building on Marietta Street for

Mayor Thomas Moore proposed buying the Dane County

turned down by the county
because of conflict of interest. The Common Council

It then promptly planted 26

I graduated I had changed
my mind from wanting to
be a teacher to wanting to
be a pastor.
When his family moved
to Brookfield, he attended Martin Luther College
in New Ulm, Minn., and
graduated in 2012 having
studied Greek and Hebrew
languages, the Old and New
Testaments, history, philosophy and other cultures.
There he met his now-wife,
Jennifer Uhlhorn, whose
father is a pastor, so she
was accustomed to living in
various states as well.
We are happy and ready
to serve anywhere, Melso
said, adding that he and his
wife are also open to being
missionaries.
Before marrying in 2014
in Colorado Springs, the
couple continued their relationship long distance while
Jennifer continued her studies in early childhood education and Eric served with
Friends of China across
the globe in Shaoxing for a
year.
In addition to being
involved with the church,
Jennifer will likely be
teaching the 3-year-old preschool class part time and
working at La Petite Academy of Verona.
Melso said he is eager to
start the next chapter of his
life in Verona for this vicar
year.
My wife and I are
already loving it here,
Melso said. There are very
friendly people.

Children now have two new playgrounds to explore in the City of

Verona at Epic Park and Ceniti Park.
Park and rec staff completed the
installation of the Epic Park playground, located on Westridge Parkway, on Aug. 7. The $40,000 project
was purchased from Miracle Recreation and features three slides, four
swings and three separate climbing
structures that are built to last about
20 years.
Dave Walker, park and urban
forestry director, said Epic Parks
playground is comparable in size
and price to the last two installed at
Cathedral Point and Scenic Ridge
parks.
Ceniti Park is where Little League
games are held and the playground
there replaced a similar structure that
the Little League organization had
donated and installed in 2007.

residential type backyard structure.

The playground includes a slide,
climbing wall, tire swing and swing
set that Walker estimates should last
around five years. Local playground
builder Jim Hadac of PlayN Wisconsin completed the installation about a
month ago.
Walker said the total value of that

structure installed is between $6,000
and $8,000, but most of the cost was
donated by the company in exchange
for some advertising at the park. The
City of Verona and Little League split
the out-of-pocket cost at $1,500 each.

Resurrection Lutheran
Church of Verona recently installed Eric Melso as
its new assistant pastor
on Aug. 2. Melsos official title is vicar of the
church, and he will serve
the Wisconsin Evangelical
Lutheran Synod congregation through the end of July
2016.
Pastor Nathan Strutz said
Melso will be the sixth vicar who has served at Resurrection, 6705 Wesner Road.
We are very blessed to
be one of only 30 churches
(out of over 1,200) in our
church body to have a vicar
serving with us, he said in
an email to the Press. It is
a great privilege.
After two years in the
classroom studying theology at Wisconsin Lutheran
Seminary in Mequon, Melso will spend his third year
as a vicar doing everything
a pastor does, including
preaching sermons, teaching Bible classes and visiting people.
But he will do this with
my guidance and instruction, becoming more independent as the year goes
along, Strutz said. Vicars
do receive a modest stipend
plus health insurance so
they can focus their entire
time serving the church.
Melso told the Press that
everyone was very welcoming at his installation, and
he has already gone through
a lot of training with Strutz
since his move to Verona in
late July.
After July next year, he
will return for one more
year of classroom study at
the seminary to complete
his training. If things go
as planned, he will graduate in May 2017 and could
receive a call to serve as a
pastor potentially anywhere
around the world, Strutz
explained.
Melso isnt new to traveling. He grew up in Texas
and his parents were WELS
teachers, so they often
moved around the country,

West End: Joint land ownership signatures, previously a holdup, next step for purchase
unusual for us to need to
stretch out those deadlines.
Weve been told theres
good progress on that,
Fahey said.
Gorrell said the district
doesnt anticipate a problem this time around,
because T. Wall was the
only holdout.
The T. Wall sale paved
the way for the district and
Vanta to reopen negotiations and the school board
approved a new purchase
agreement July 20.
Vanta still has to work
with the city to get certified survey maps, easements and an amendment
to the development agreement.
City administrator Bill
Burns told the Press that
Vanta is working with the
city on those, and as of
now, he expects the CSM
to be brought to Plan Commission and the council in
September.
Unless Vantas not
ready with some of their
submittals, he cautioned,
(There is) nothing at this
I think our interest

is their interest. Its
just getting things
tied down sooner
rather than later.
Bill Fahey,
VASD counsel on real
estate transactions
point that Im aware of that

would hold it up.
The developers agreement is also expected to
go to the council in September, Burns said. That
discussion is focused on
installation of traffic lights.
In the purchase agreement with the district, it
is outlined that if the commercial area to the north
of what would be the districts land develops first,
that developer must pay
for traffic light installation
on West Verona Avenue.
If VASD develops first, it
would pay. Burns said the
city wants to make sure
language in the agreement
would require installation

of the lights when the commercial area develops.
The district hopes to
close on the property by
the end of October, and
the quicker the process the
better, both for long-term
planning and because of
Vantas future.
I know that we are anxious to get things solved
for Vanta because they are
selling their properties and
liquidating, Fahey said. I
think our interest is their
interest. Its just getting
things tied down sooner
rather than later.
Gorrell said it feels
wonderful to be nearing
the finality of a deal that
was first approved in May
2014, and that even though
there are still important
steps remaining, the picture sure looks a lot rosier than it did a couple of
months ago.
We believe that we will
be able to actually close
on this property before the
end of the calendar year,
he said.
The Verona Area

School District hopes
to acquire 44.75
acres of land on the
West End through
a purchase agreement with Vanta. The
