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

States salt shed plan leaves bad taste

DOT wants 50-foot-tall building
on state land off bypass
The

Mark Ignatowski
It will be a while before drivers start

thinking about needing salt on the road,
but plans for a new salt depot near the
citys eastern entrance are drawing concern from some city officials.
The salt shed would be part of the
ongoing Verona Road improvements and
would provide Dane County road crews
with salt for the expanding road network
in the area. However, city leaders have
concerns about the location and design
of the shed, saying the building could be
an eyesore in a prominent location. Over
the past several months, city leaders and
state officials have gone back and forth
on the details, with an open house meeting planned for next month.
Still, the project did not get a favorable
review from former public works committee chair and former council president
Ald. Mac McGilvray (D-1) when it was
first introduced this spring.
From my perspective, the City of

media, and now the Verona Area School
District wants to be part of the conversation.
The school board discussed a pair of
policies Monday night aimed to make
it easier for schools to create their own
social media profiles and the district to
have a centralized profile.
You want to have consistency among
the district but you also want to have
each school creating their own identity,
district public information officer Kelly
Kloepping explained. This is just one
more way for us to be able to reach out
to not only families but also teachers, supporters in the community.
Just as important to promoting schools
participation on the platforms is outlining the rules of what the new tools could
be used for, and thats what much of the
policy focuses on. The proposed policy
also outlines rules for staff members personal accounts that prohibit communication about school matters with parents or
students through social media.
Kloepping has been working on developing the social media policy since last
December, and it went through three

Board establishes
committee on
transgender policies
The proposed salt shed along Maple Grove Road near East Verona Avenue could have the look of a
barn to make it more visually appealing.
Scott Girard
Verona has worked pretty hard to create

an appealing look as you come in from
that direction, McGilvray said, citing
the baseball diamond improvements, a
new fire station and significant public
and private investments along East Verona Avenue. The first thing people would
see would be this colossal and ugly
salt shed.
The Verona Area School District will

likely have policies in place by this fall
regarding transgender students.
Superintendent Dean Gorrell asked the
school board Monday night to establish
an ad hoc committee to determine policies, as the district has some transgender
students.
Weve got a need and an opportunity
for development of a policy thats probably past due for us, Gorrell said.
Board member Amy Almond volunteered for the committee, and Gorrell

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

Design project staff
have been working with
City of Verona officials on
the building appearance/
aesthetics and landscaping around the salt shed,
Thiessen said. We continue to coordinate with the
City of Verona.
To that end, Burns said
WisDOT staff have offered
to include a non-standard
design that looks more like
a barn than a typical salt
shed found along the states
highway systems. Burns
said he wants to be sure that
the building is attractive if
its going to be visible.
Were looking at ways
to enhance the appearance, Burns said, adding
that grading plans have also
been reviewed as a way to
hide part of the building.
Anything that can be done
to tuck the building into the

The proposed salt shed could sit on top of a hill, but Verona city administrator Bill Burns has asked WisDOT official to try to tuck the
building into the hill. Updated grading plans were not available Tuesday, but a public meeting where people can meet with WisDOT staff is
planned for Sept. 24 in Fitchburg.
hill rather than raise it up.

The site would include a
stormwater retention pond,
and Burns wants to make
sure there are enough protective measures in place to
make sure stormwater runoff doesnt impact nearby
wetland areas.
Construction of the salt
shed is planned for 2016, with
the facility ready for use next
winter, Thiessen said.
Planning process
While there are concerns
about the looks and location
of the salt shed, McGilvray
said he was also displeased
with the planning process.
McGilvray said that

municipalities had been
invited to be part of the planning process for the massive
multi-year Verona Road
project and the city had given
its input on the project.
After the fact, they say
theyre going to throw a salt
shed up, McGilvray said.
Thats not really letting
people have a say in it.
McGilvray said Monday
that it had been awhile since
the council was updated
on the project, but when
he first heard about the
proposal in late April, he
wanted to be sure the city
didnt just accept whatever
the WisDOT had proposed

without finding out more
about their reasoning.
Where I left it a while
ago is that I wasnt willing
to have the city roll over,
he said. Thats not what
Id call a process.
Since this spring, Burns
has been back and forth
with state officials. The
result is an updated design
that should be ready for a
public information meeting
Sept. 24.
The quarterly Verona
Road Project open house
meeting is from 5:30 p.m.
to 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept.
24, at the City of Fitchburg
Fire Station No. 2, 5415

King James Way, Fitchburg.
Burns said elected officials
and members of the public
would be able to take a look
at images and grading plans
for the site and provide feedback on them. He said he
hopes to see those designs
soon and wants to continue
to pursue the option to place
the shed on county-owned
land.

Letter to the editor
Same sex marriage column violates

basic truths about God and His word
rejected.
God defines marriage as a lifetime
union between a male and female
(Genesis 1:27-28, 2:22-24). Jesus
Christ reaffirmed the definition of
marriage in Matthew 19:4-5. He will
never change that definition because
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday,
today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8).
Scripture clearly teaches that
any sexual relationship outside of
Gods definition for marriage is
a sin. Romans 1:24-27 says God
gave men up to the unclean lusts
of their hearts. That lust resulted
in vile passions: men and women
exchanging their natural use for
what is against nature committing
what is shameful (same sex sexual
relationships). 1 Corinthians 6:910 warns us, Do not be deceived.
Those that practice sin: fornication,
idolatry, adultery, homosexuality,
sodomy, stealing, coveting, drunkenness, etc. will not inherit the kingdom of God. God will never change
His nature or His Word to fit the
philosophical view or political policy
of mankind.
How will you choose to live:
mans way or Gods Way?

A sacred pilgrimage
or a walk of shame?
A
s my wife tugged my
shoulder, she urged me on
impatiently.
Come on, come on just a little
bit further!! she said. My uncle
was at this bar last night, and he
said there were a bunch of fights,
so I want to see what its like
today.
I quickened my pace but not my
expectations.
Ive been to
enough Freakfests and Willy
Street block parties to know Im
probably not
entering a battle
zone, but its not
every day there
Dresser
is this much
excitement in
San Ramon.
We sped up the sidewalk toward
the bar. There was music blaring in
the parking lot and a DJ reminding
patrons they could only consume
alcohol if they were under the tent
surrounded by police officers.
We figured we might see some
blood on the wall or teeth on the
floor and even though it was a
Sunday morning, maybe another
throwdown.
However this wasnt like a Summerfest concert, or even the beer
tent at Hometown days. This was
part of the annual Lady of Los
Angeles pilgrimage, a Catholic tradition that involves people walking
to the basilica from all over Costa
Rica to pray to the Lady of Los
Angeles and ask for help and guidance.
The street party was completely
unaffiliated with the tradition, of
course, but it was obviously taking advantage of it. And it wasnt
unusual.
The condensed version of the
Lady of Los Angeles story goes
like this: A young girl found a
small statue of the Lady of Los

Angeles in the forest and took it
home with her but couldnt find it
the next day. She returned to where
she had found it and it was there
again. That happened over and
over.
As a result, the town decided
to build a basilica at the site, and
every year people make the pilgrimage from all parts of Costa
Rica to ask her for forgiveness and
help with their lives. They walk
for days, some barefoot, and some
even on their hands and knees.
In theory, this should be a beautiful, sacred event. They close the
main street for miles leading up to
the basilica, and even if you are not
religious, you are welcome to walk
along with the crowd. Many people
choose to go with friends as a fun
way to spend the day.
Some use it as an excuse to get
in some exercise, and others, well,
use it as an excuse to get drunk and
fight.
I was really baffled seeing people walking around with plastic
cups with what I thought had to
have been ginger ale. It was a hot
day, so soft drinks would make
sense. But it began to dawn on me
that there was a little more going
than casual ginger ale drinking.
You didnt have to look far from
the basilica to see signs advertising
beer. There are only two bars in the
small town and it seemed like they
needed to make all their sales for
the year on this weekend.
Panning down to the street, I
started to notice people pulling up
in the back of pick up trucks in
cowboy boots and hats as if there
were a parade. Here there were
people who have walked miles,
maybe for days and others were
acting like it was a football Saturday on State Street. Nowhere
would I have imagined a scene of
this kind.

The Catholic church has events

year round in San Ramon, and they
are always family-friendly. They
have a parade of saints where they
march each of the surrounding
towns saints around the downtown area. They have Holy week
processions. They even have a big
two-week hometown days type
event where they have concerts and
carnival games.
At none of those events have I
seen consumption of alcohol. So I
was puzzled and beleaguered at the
amount of alcohol at this event.
I can see people walking along
with friends just for fun, but the
amount of alcohol was overwhelming. I saw groups of teenagers
walking down the street with bottles of liquor in paper bags. There
was a first-aid station set up for the
pilgrims but if I had to guess they
probably attended more drunk than
sober people.
Maybe this was too big of a culture shock for me. This was my
first time participating, and despite
everything that was going on the
pilgrims didnt seem to mind. Or
maybe the ones who feel disgusted
just dont even go anymore. We
visited some friends who lived
down the street from the basilica,
and they didnt even seem to notice
the event was going on.
I didnt come across any evidence of violence and didnt stay
long enough to see if the fighting
resumed, but I saw enough to know
that a fair number of participants
are hurting the image of this sacred
pilgrimage. I know God works
in mysterious ways but even He
should have been upset. I was half
expecting He would send lighting
bolt to fry the DJs sound system.
That would have sent a message.

On June 18, Pastor Yurs column

expressed his lengthy struggle over
same sex marriage. He concluded
that same sex marriage was a part of
Gods evolving plan for mankind.
That viewpoint violates basic truths
about God and His Word.
If a blind person was approaching
the edge of a cliff, I would cry out and
warn them to turn around. Its what
any caring, loving person would naturally do. That is the loving spirit in
which this letter is written.
God is an eternal, unchanging Being. I am the Lord, I do not
change (Malachai 3:6). Jesus
Christ (God the Son) is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews
13:8). Gods thoughts and ways are
much higher than mans thoughts
or ways (Isaiah 55:8-9). There is a
way that seems right to a man, but its
end is the way of death (Proverbs
14:12).
Like God, His Word is eternal and
unchanging. Forever, O Lord, Your
word is settled in heaven (Psalm
119:89). Jesus said, Heaven and
earth shall pass away, but My words
will by no means pass away (Matthew 24:35). The word of the Lord
shall endure forever (1 Peter 1:25).

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

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

Home Talent League
A win away from the Final Four

Cavaliers improve to 15-0
in the Sunday League
Anthony Iozzo
Football
Season kicks
off Friday
against West
Anthony Iozzo
Assistant sports editor
The Verona Home Talent team

continued to dominate in the Western
Section during a 13-4 win over Dodgeville in the Sunday League Western
Section semifinals.
An eight-run first inning was more
than enough for Kyle Nelson and
Matt Gust on the mound, and the
Cavaliers, also undefeated in Night
League and in the NL semifinals, are
now one win away from reclaiming
the Western Section crown after missing out last season.
And it seems fitting that the last
team standing in Veronas way is
defending section champion Hollandale, which made the Final Four as a
seven-seed last year.
Hollandale hosted last seasons
sectional final, but the section has
gone through Verona this season. The
third-seeded Rockies come to Stampfl Field at 1 p.m. Sunday with a Final
Four berth on the line.
It is going to be a battle. It always
is with those guys, manager Nick
Krohn said. At this point in the season, anything can happen. If you get
a hot pitcher, you can ride it. So we
will have to come out and be ready
to go again. Hopefully, we will come
out be fired up right from the get-go
against those guys.
But if that wasnt enough for
the Cavaliers, they also have a big
game in Night League with Waunakee coming to Stampfl Field at 7 p.m.
Thursday in the NL semifinals.
Krohn said that the extra competitive game each week is a springboard for the Sunday games, and it
especially helps during the playoffs.
Krohn said Cole Kroncke will continue to pitch Thursdays but moving
on to the Night League finals will not
be an easy task against Waunakee.
They kind of had our number over
the years, Krohn said. It is a weird
dynamic sometimes that are done on
Sundays because they might come
with their full Sunday squad ready to
go, but they might not too. We have
to come ready to go and not worry so
much about they are doing.

Justin Scanlon led off with a single to left field, and Zach Spencer
walked. Derek Burgenske (2-for-3)
then put the Cavaliers on the board
with an RBI single to left field.
Luke Yapp (2-for-3) followed
with a 2-run double, and Mike Jordahl reached base on an error by the
pitcher, who dropped the ball running
to first base.
After Jordahl stole second, David
Lund (2-for-4) chopped an infield
single between home and the pitchVerona 13, Dodgeville 4
Verona scored eight runs in the first ers mound down the third-base line
to load the bases. Derek Murphy
followed with a 2-run single to make

it 5-0.
After Danny Koss struck out, Klayton Brandt (2-for-5) picked up an
RBI groundout, and Scanlon was hit
by a pitch. Scanlon stole second, and
Spencer hit a 2-run infield single to
second base.
We are really cooking right now,
I think, Krohn said. All of our guys
throughout the lineup are really dialed
in and focused, and obviously that
showed today right from the get-go.
And Nelly is so tough, that it feels
like once we get two or three runs we
are good. We dont lay off the gas,
but with the way he has been throwing, all we have to do is scrape a few
across early, and we feel really good
about it.
Verona added three more runs in
the second inning. Yapp and Jordahl
walked, and Lund picked up a single
to the shortstop, who threw the ball
past first base allowing Yapp to score,
Jordahl to get to third base and Lund
to get to second.
After a flyout by Murphy, Koss
picked up an RBI groundout, and
Brandt followed with an RBI infield
single to make it 11-0.
Lund added an RBI sacrifice fly in
the third inning, and Brandt collected

his third RBI with a run-scoring single in the sixth.
It was huge to jump on them early, Brandt said. It set the tone for
the rest of the game.
Nelson picked up the win. He
allowed his first earned run all season
in five innings. Nelson allowed four
hits, struck out three and walked two.
Gust finished the game. He allowed
two earned runs on five hits in four
innings, striking out four, walking
one and hitting a batter.
They are throwing strikes, and
the game goes quick and you want to
make the plays for them in the field,
Brandt said. It all starts with them
throwing strikes, and they did that.
Nic Pierek took the loss for Dodgeville. He allowed seven earned runs
on six hits in one inning, striking out
one, walking one and hitting a batter.
Night League
Verona hosted Sauk Prairie Thursday and picked up a 12-7 win to
advance to the Night League Final
Four.
Kroncke picked up the win on the
mound, and the offense collected six
straight hits during one stretch.
The Verona Area High

School football team opens
the 2015 Big Eight Conference season against Madison
West at 7 p.m. Friday at Curtis
Jones Stadium in Verona.
The Wildcats traveled to
play West in last seasons
opener and lost a two-touchdown lead in the fourth quarter. That loss was followed by
two others until Verona turned
the season around with six
straight wins, making it back
to the playoffs a year after a
nine-year playoff streak ended.
The 2014 season ended
against Madison La Follette in
the Level 1 playoffs.
Verona averaged 30.4
points per game last season
but will have a new starting
quarterback, lead running
back and lead wide receiver.
The defense returns several players, including seniors
Sam Favour and Trayvonn
Johnson.

Defending champs remain

contenders with four returners

The Verona Area High

School girls golf program
claimed its first WIAA
Division 1 state team title
in school history last season, but the success of the
past few years isnt over
yet.
With four girls returning this season, the Wildcats look to be as much of
a contender as the previous few seasons and that
already takes into account
the loss of two-time
defending state champion
Jessica Reinecke.
Seniors Bailey Smith,
Melissa Biesmann, Emily
Opsal and Hanna Rebholz
are all back, and freshman
Ally Kundinger looks to
consistently join the top
five. The Wisconsin Golf
coaches Association has
the Wildcats ranked No. 4
in the state.
Smith, who finished firstteam All-Big Eight Conference and third-team AllState, finished tied for sixth
at state. Rebholz, who was
a second-team all-conference selection and an honorable mention All-State,
took 26th at state.

Opsal and Biesmann,
both second-team all-conference selections, finished
tied for 17th and tied for
32nd, respectively, at state.
Our goals are to be as
competitive as we were last
season, head coach Bailey
Hildebrandt wrote in a preview questionnaire. We
hope to finish at the top
of the conference and also
be a contender in the state
tournament.

Wildcats hope influx of youth can offset inexperience

Verona Are High School

girls tennis will send one of
its most inexperienced team in
recent years to the courts this
fall.
The program returns five
letterwinners, including half of
its No. 1 doubles state qualifying team, but lost five starters.
We have five returning
varsity players and we will
have five newcomers joining
them, head coach Mark Happel said. We will rely on our
veterans early in the season as
our new players gain experience.
I hope that we can compete
for an upper half spot in conference. We have a less experienced team than we have had
in the past.
Verona hopes to offset that
inexperience with an influx of
young talent.
We have some talented
freshman who will certainly

Big Eight preview

Verona looks to repeat
as Big Eight Conference
champions, winning the
first title in school history
last season.
But that wont be easy
with top contender Middleton returning four of
five golfers from its state
qualifying team, including
defending individual state
champion senior Loren
Skibba.
Similar to Veronas situation last year, the Cardinals are looking to win a
team title with their No. 1
golfer coming into the season as a defending individual champion.
The Cardinals took third
overall at state last season and also return juniors
Alexis Thomas, Morgan
Narowetz and Lindsay
Callahan.
Madison Memorial was
another contender last season, falling in a three-team
playoff to Middleton to
make state, but the Spartans lose its No.1-3 golfers from last year only
returning juniors Kelly
Elmes and Lauren Krieg.
Sun Prairie and Janesville Parker are two teams
that look to jump Memorial and compete in the conference this season.

Sectional outlook
The D1 Madison West
sectional is gearing up
to be one of the toughest
tournaments in the state.
Verona must first get
out of the Portage regional Middleton, Madison
Memorial, Waunakee,
Madison West, Portage,
Mount Horeb and Reedsburg and be one of the
top four teams to advance.

If the Wildcats survive, the sectional brings
in teams from the Oregon
regional, which includes
Oregon, Monona Grove,
McFarland, Madison La
Follette, Beaver Dam,
Stoughton, Sun Prairie and
Madison East.
Oregon brings back several players from last season and look to be very
strong in 2015. Seniors
Jenny Johnson and Olivia
Davis and junior Taylor
McCorkle are all back
from last seasons sectional lineup.
Johnson missed qualifying for state by a stroke,
while McCorkle was just
five strokes back for the
final state spot last season.

also discussed what the

boards Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment committee has been working
on, including initiatives on
personalized learning and
behavior.
That includes a framework
for handling recent complaints about behavior in the
district and an action plan for
how to implement personalized learning across the district.
Director of curriculum and
assessment Ann Franke also
explained that the state has
prohibited the Department
of Public Instruction from
using the Badger Exam this
year after its first year in the
2014-15 school year. DPI
has not said what test it will
use instead, but it will be
administered in the spring,
Franke said.
Social: Policy could be a model for others

View the full draft policies the
school board is considering and the
districts handbook on social media:
ConnectVerona.com
The policies related to
using the accounts, specify what is appropriate
for the district accounts,
as opposed to personal
accounts of teachers or staff
members.
The rules for personal
accounts, which are in a
separate policy, include that
employees have no expectation of privacy when
using social media sites/
online forums because
the information could be
accessed by parents, students, coworkers or members of the public. It also
prohibits them from communicating with families
and students regarding
school or District-related
matters through personal
social media accounts,
blogs, etc.
When communicating
via online social media, it
is important for employees to remember that their
conduct represents the District and any information
posted or exchanged should
always be in the best interests of serving the District
Logo protection
Another policy the board
discussed outlines rules surrounding use of the district
and school logos for nonapproved purposes.
Kloepping cited apparel
at a grocery store that had
the districts logo and promoted Verona schools,
even though the district had
not approved that use.
When she found out
VASD did not have a policy governing outside use,
she worked to set one up.
Board members supported
the idea of giving Kloepping or superintendent
Dean Gorrell the ability to
approve outside uses.
The danger is somehow
you end up with the school
district logo on something
you didnt endorse, board
member Derrell Connor said.

District will soon begin
focusing its promotional
efforts for events online.
In an email to parents
last week, the district said
it has a continued focus to
reduce paper, reduce staff
time, and reduce printing
costs by using the website instead of multiple
emails or fliers sent home.
More importantly, this
will allow for more local
organizations to post the
great things happening in
our communities for your

email said.

Beres also said the districts Future Schools

Committee, established
in late 2013 to help guide
the district on its building
decisions, is in the background for now.
As the district closes on
two properties this week
and nears agreement for
a third, Beres said getting
everything settled with
those properties is the top
priority.
Next will be the board
determining whether it
wants the district to continue using the 18-to-1
or 30-to-2 student-toteacher ratio it has been
required to in recent years
to receive extra funding. A
recent change in state law
phased out that program,
known as SAGE, in favor
of the Achievement Gap
Reduction program. AGR
offers other options to
receive that funding, and
using those options could
increase current buildings

The board approved handbook changes to improve

communication with parents
for the districts elementary
schools, which was required
to receive certain federal
funds.
The funding, through
the Title 1 program that
helps fund schools with
populations of free and
reduced lunch students,
covers Sugar Creek, Country View and Stoner Prairie elementaries. Although
Glacier Edge Elementary
School doesnt receive
Title 1 funding, the language is now part of the
schools handbook as it
communicates a general
philosophy all of the elementaries want to emphasize.
Sugar Creek principal
Todd Brunner presented
the changes to the board.
Its just being a good
community school, Brunner said.
The changes include
involving parents in planning the Title 1 program
and communicating with
them regularly in clear
and understandable terms.
The beginning of the
changes also outline a
philosophical attitude
that board president Dennis Beres found really
interesting and good.

presented Monday to the
board.
Its just another way to
communicate, Kloepping
told the board. Were falling off the bandwagon if we
dont have accounts.
Each school site could
designate five employees
to manage sites two each
on Facebook and Twitter
accounts and one for Instagram, according to the
policy. Kloepping said the
social media would allow
more everyday activities in
the schools to be publicized
and shared with parents.
While some schools
already have social media
profiles, Kloepping hopes
the policies and a 12-page
Social Media Handbook
can help make them all
more consistent and useful.
Social media allows
Verona Area School District (VASD) employees,
students, families and
community supporters to
speak in real-time, with a
genuine voice, the opening paragraph of the handbook reads: Social media
outlets demand unfiltered
and immediate responses
and serve as a way to build
long-term relationships,
rather than to just promote
your school.
and its students, the rule

reads.
Kloepping said policies
she had found in other districts were not as sound as
the proposals the board was
looking at.
Were going to have
schools that are going to
steal this, I think, she said.
The policies received a
first reading Monday and
could be voted on at the
boards next meeting, Aug.
31.
said it would likely include

staff, parents and students
to help develop the policy.
Almond, who sat through
a presentation on transgender policies earlier this year
with Gorrell and other board
members, told the Press
after the meeting she had
no idea what will happen
with the committee, but
she wants to be sure VASD
is in line with the law. Once
thats established, she said,
the district can tailor any
policies to its specific population of students.
Gorrell also mentioned
that there are sample policies available in surrounding districts and through
the Wisconsin Association
of School Boards that can
help guide the committee
and avoid reinventing the
wheel.
Policies to help make
transgender students more
comfortable often include
gender-neutral bathrooms,
the ability to use a chosen name on official class
rosters rather than a legal
name and an understanding of pronoun usage. It
wasnt clear whether the
committee would consider any or all of those as
options.
Gorrell said he hoped
they have a draft of a policy by late October.

Q. What are dental implants?

A. Dental implants have been around for decades but have recently become the stan-
agree on a birthday party. My husband thinks we should

keep it low key by I want a big party my son will never
forget!
A. Children follow our lead and if we are excited about the

plans for their party, they will be excited too no matter what
we are planning. If we set the bar too high at a young age we
can easily get caught up in feeling that every year needs to be bigger and better than the
last party. Take advantage of their early years when its easier to keep parties simple and
save the big events for special years like a golden birthday, a sixteenth birthday etc.

Q. What Should I Expect From Home Care Providers?

A. For families who live away from their elder loved one, home care providers, like Comfort
Keepers offer regular updates to families about the elders well-being and with that, assurance
that the elder is receiving the best possible care.
In addition to peace of mind, home care providers can deliver a wide range of services, working
with elders and their families to create care plans that meet their specific needs. These individual
care plans allow elders the opportunity to age in place, safely and securely. In-home care services
provide support to help preserve elders' dignity and independence as well.
Homecare offers housekeeping and personal care services. Housekeeping services include light
Stephen Rudolph
FACHE, CSA
housekeeping, errand services, grocery shopping, respite grooming and dressing, incidental
transportation, laundry service, meal preparation and more. Personal care services include bathing, mobility assistance,
transferring and positioning, toileting and incontinence, oral hygiene and feeding and special diet assistance. There may

Q. What can I do to help protect my retirement income from inflation?

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

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

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

Q. How do I select a whole house high efficiency air cleaner?

A. Several different types of air cleaners are available today. The most basic types
are made just to keep the hvAc equipment clean. The next type of air cleaner provides equipment protection like the first type, and filters out pollens, mold spores,
and pet dander. These filters were originally developed for people with allergies,
but are often used as a good general purpose air cleaner. The last type of air cleaner
is the electronic type. They filter out the smallest of particles like smoke, viruses
and bacteria. These are the best choice for anyone with asthma, or otherwise interested in providing the cleanest environment. Beyond efficiencies, the frequency
of maintenance should be considered when selecting an air cleaner. For help with
selecting the right air cleaner for your home contact Dave at OK heating and Air
conditioning.

Q. What is tendonitis and how is it treated?

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

Q. What can I do to protect my elderly relatives from nursing home neglect and
abuse?
A. The best thing you can do to protect a loved one is by doing some smart research. First
Gail C. Groy
Attorney at Law
figure out whether the nursing home is licensed in the State of Wisconsin. Determine if the
staff (RPNs, LPNs, CNAs) are all licensed and have service training for nursing home care.
Find out if its up to you to observe what is happening in the nursing home or if a physician
will be relied upon for this task. Remember that Google is your friend, check out the
nursing homes reputation and how it cares for the elderly. Finally, ask around. Ask your
elderly relatives physician what his/her opinion is on that particular nursing home. Ask
around the community, your own friends and family, and your relatives friends. You may
find someone who has had first-hand experience with that homes staff or treatment. Remember to always monitor
and be aware of your relatives living conditions and if you are uncomfortable about anything always put the staff
on notice. Ask questions and constantly stay informed of any changes.

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

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

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

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