The coming year promises to bring

plenty of change to the Verona Area
School District.
VASD has tried to remain on the
cutting edge of many initiatives
around education, from behavior
strategies that foster positivity and
teaching students proper behavior
to acquiring technology to aid in its
personalized learning goals. Those
efforts plus changes to traditional
VASD models like site councils and
scheduling at the elementary and
high schools will play a major part
in nearly every school this upcoming
year.

1. Nurturing the behavior
system
The district has focused its behavior
initiatives in recent years on programs
like the Nurtured Heart Approach and
Positive Behavior Intervention and
Supports.
But for all the successes district
staff have cited, the transition from
emphasizing punishment to focusing on positives has been difficult in

some places and inconsistently used.
To address the uneasiness and
complaints from some parents on
the approaches, superintendent Dean
Gorrell said the district will continue
to expand training for teachers so it
can provide consistency from school
to school, classroom to classroom and
year to year.
Adding consistency among the various schools, including charters, is the
focus of a new task force on behavior
that will also begin to meet this year,
with the emphasis on both the practice and the recording of discipline. It

Group still holding

out hope to save
1848 structure
JIM FEROLIE
Verona Press editor
On a night when the

Common Council voted to
demolish two old homes
downtown, it got an urgent
plea to save another.
There was little discussion
Monday about the demolition of the adjoining houses
on Franklin Street and Park
Lane, as its been in the
works for months and was
the last step awarding a bid
for $29,495. When finished,
the city will work on turning the razed area into public
parking to make the downtown more functional.
But in a way, the city's
purchase of the Matts House
at the corner of Main Street
and Verona is really about
the same thing, with a vacant
building on an awkwardly
hilly lot somewhat in the
way of long-term downtown
redevelopment plans.
The Matts House, built
in 1848 by one of Veronas founders, had been
the subject of quite a bit of

anguished debate two weeks
earlier, when alders reluctantly concluded that rehabilitating it at an estimated
$1 million was simply
unrealistic. Though the city
had just purchased the house
and property for $150,000
in April, theres urgency in
alders decision about what
to do with it, as some work
will be necessary to protect
whats left of the dilapidated
structure from the winter.
Even Ald. Brad Stiner
(Dist. 3), who plugs the
Verona Historical Society whenever possible and
insisted when the city purchased the lot that it save the
house, admitted earlier this
month the cost of rehabilitating might be too much to
bear after he took a tour of
inside it.
While alders came to the
consensus at that Aug. 10
meeting they didnt think the
building was salvageable,
they waited to make any
decisions until the public
had a chance to either accept
it or offer alternatives.
Monday, longtime resident Jesse Charles tried to

Pastor Gary Holmes explains the phases of building development

for Sugar River United Methodist Church, which moved into the
former Wildcat Lanes a year ago. The renovation project is behind
schedule and will cost more than expected, so it will be completed
in a couple of phases in the next few years. The first phase will
include the building of a two-story foyer/narthex entrance that
includes an elevator and the painting and front exterior insulation and finish system. The exterior is expected to be completed
by Sept. 20. Future phasing will include the sanctuary (where the
bowling alley used to be), classrooms, toddler/nursery, offices and
fellowship hall by 2016-17.

Rodent causes downtown power outage

JACOB BIELANSKI
Residents of downtown
Verona have a squirrel to
thank for a power outage
that affected approximately 3,000 people and shut
down much of downtown
for about 45 minutes on
Thursday, Aug. 20.
Alliant energy spokesman Chris DuPre said the
outage began around 8:30
a.m. when the animal got
into a transformer and
shorted the system. The

A former Verona restaurateur pled not guilty Aug.
18 to charges of his fifth
OWI.
Michael
Fornetti, 45,
was arrested
in late June
while sleeping in the
passenger
seat of his
c a r p a r k e d Fornetti
at Prairie
Heights
Drive near Westminster
Way, according to police.
Police said he told the
arresting officer he was
not going anywhere,
however, officers allege
they had seen the Silver
truck leaving the parking
lot of the VAC earlier.
Fornetti has been a part
of several restaurants in
the Verona area, including managing Avanti Italian Restaurant for several
years. After his third OWI
conviction, in 2010, the
Verona Police Department
labeled him a habitual
law offender, leading to a
hearing in which the citys
Common Council suspended the Avanti liquor
license for what ended up
being two weeks. He left
the family-owned business
last year.
If convicted on the
charge, Fornetti faces up
to six years in prison and a
maximum fine of $25,000.
A court date had not been
set as of Tuesday afternoon.

than an hour.
The outage also created
several false fire alarms,

Dresser said.
Crews worked quickly
to begin re-routing affected customers from the
damaged transformer to
a working transformer,
DuPre said. Most customers had power back within
45 minutes, with the last
of those affected being
restored no later than 10
a.m., DuPre said.
DuPre said crews were
expected to complete a full
repair of the transformer
by the end of Thursday.
Dane County
Ordinance would
prohibit e-cigarettes
in workplaces
A Dane County ordinance could ban e-cigarettes much like other
tobacco products under a
proposal introduced last
week.
Dane County Executive, Joe Parisi and County
Board Sup. Jenni Dye
(Dist. 33) introduced an
ordinance to prohibit the
use of electronic delivery
devices in workplaces.
Electronic cigarettes are
an oral device that can be
used to simulate smoking
and produce an aerosol of
nicotine and/or other substances and chemicals.
In a news release, Parisi
said concerns about breathing air that contains potentially harmful particulate
matter found in the vapors
is cause for concerns.
Other municipalities and
states have banned the use
of e-cigarettes and similar products, following the
Wisconsin ban on tobacco
in the workplace roughly
five years ago. Still, regulation of e-cigarettes has
been unclear since the ban.
Ensuring our workforce
has a safe work environment is critical to a productive healthy workforce,
Parisi said. It is important
to protect Dane Countys
clean indoor air by including electronic smoking
devices in Dane Countys
smoke-free air ordinance.
Dane County would be
the second county in the
state to ban such devices.
Florence County voted

to prohibit e-cigarettes
in April. Municipalities
that have passed regulation to prohibit e-cigarettes
in the workplace include
Madison, Ashwaubenon,
Greenfield, and Onalaska.
Three states have passed
e-cigarette policies North
Dakota, New Jersey, and
Utah.
On a national scale, the
Food and Drug Administration is proposing to
extend its authority to cover e-cigarettes due to concerns about their safety.
Long-term term studies on the health effects
have not been conducted
and there is a lack of proof
that the aerosol is safe for
the person smoking, or for
those who breathe in the
secondhand aerosol, the
release read.
The aerosol that is
exhaled by e-cigarette
users contains nicotine,
propylene glycol (a known
respiratory irritant), formaldehyde, and heavy metals
such as lead, tin, nickel and
chromium.
This proposal makes a
very simple change in the
interest of public health,
lead sponsor of the ordinance, Sup. Dye said. By
treating e-cigarettes like we
already treat cigarettes, we
can make sure that in areas
we share with others, the
air is clean and enjoyable
for everyone."

Creating new developments in Dane County

towns remains difficult,
but several landowners in
the Town of Verona are
attempting to do so anyway.
A group of property owners on Prairie Circle is aiming to create more home
lots along the road, while
another landowner is trying
to create a 20-lot subdivision on Shady Oak Lane.
The Plan Commission is
scheduled to give a preliminary review to four properties on the Prairie Circle

their land to have smaller
lots. The meeting will be
at 6:30 p.m. at Town Hall,

The other two properties on the circle are hoping
to split their parcels to be

The Shady Oak Lane proposal to develop 20 home
sites is a continuing discussion, Arnold said, adding it
would be one of the bigger
developments weve had in
a long time.
She said a recent court
decision that favored a
developer who argued the
City of Delavan was overusing its extraterritorial
jurisdiction has created a
situation that is unclear, and
developers are trying to see
what happens.
Its new, untested
water, she said. Its one
court case, so its not a pattern yet, but it is a change in
the court cases that people
can reference.

Letters to the editor
Scripture citations raise questions

about more than homosexuality
A person who wrote a letter
to the Verona Press last week
claimed that homosexuality is
wrong, basing his claim on a passage in the Bible.
Im always curious, when people cite scripture to support their
personal beliefs, how they decide
which biblical passages to follow
and which to discard. Leviticus
25:44, for example, states that one
may possess slaves, and Exodus
32:2 says that an individual working on the Sabbath should be put
to death.
Im reminded of what my own
minister told me almost fifty years
ago. He said we need to remember
that the Bible was written by men

of God, but the writers were also
men of their time.
I do not question the right of the
letter writer, clearly a devout man,
to hold the beliefs he does; but I
would note that many other pastors, who are equally devout, hold
different opinions about homosexuality.
And I have to say, I find it difficult to tolerate the idea of someone rejecting 10 percent of the
population simply because of the
way God created them.

Financially speaking
Marriage is more
than just a word
In a 5-4 decision on Wednesday, June 26, the Supreme Court
found that same-sex couples
legally married under state law
should receive federal benefits.
For many, the ruling was seen as
a victory for love and a validation of the nature of the relationship between thousands of samesex couples. Regardless of your
stance on the
topic, there is
no denying that
the decision
was a landmark
moment in our
history.
While the
focus in the
news following
Arndt
the announcement was on
the emotional aspect for these
couples of finally being able to
legally marry, my mind immediately jumped to the financial
and legal implications. Being
married means much more than
a ceremony and a celebration.
Marriage is a legal contract
which carries with it both rights
and responsibilities and is intended to be permanent.
I suspect there will be many
more court cases to come as the
logistics are ironed out across
states and in private enterprise,
but the ruling was very clear on
a federal level. The decision to
overturn Section 3 of the Defense
of Marriage Act (DOMA) will
impact more than 1,100 federal
statutes governing federal benefits.
Lawyers and federal agencies are working hard to iron out
of all the details and determine
exactly how things will work, but
broadly speaking we know that
legally married same-sex couples
may now be able to take advantage of a number of key benefits.
To me one of the biggest and

most important federal benefits
to be impacted is Social Security. It appears that same-sex
spouses will now be eligible for
social security spousal and survivor benefits. This is huge and
will have a tremendous positive
impact on the financial lives of
same-sex couples. As thousands
of people will now be eligible
for benefits that the social security system had not planned for,
it could also have a significant
impact on the long term health of
the system.
Similarly, same-sex spouses
of members of the military may
have access to military benefits
including medical coverage,
increased housing allowances,
commissary and exchange shopping privileges, and survivor benefits, among other benefits.
Additionally, legally married
same-sex couples will have the
ability to file a joint federal tax
return if they determine that
doing so would be advantageous
for them.
Beyond the direct federal
benefits, there are a number of
additional rights that should now
be afforded to married samesex couples. For example, they
will be eligible for the Family
Medical Leave Act (FMLA). The
FMLA allows eligible employees
up to 12 weeks of job-protected
leave to care for a spouse who
suffers from a serious health condition. Retirement benefits that
are governed by ERISA should
now have their rules extended all
legally married couples. These
include things like spousal rights
for retirement benefits, such as
401(k)s and defined benefit plans
(i.e. pensions).
The ruling will also impact
estate planning for couples.
Strategies to manage estate
taxes, such as portability, will

be available to married samesex couples, and they will also
be exempt from federal gift tax
when transferring assets to each
other. Keep in mind that the
courts action doesnt eliminate
the need for basic estate planning, including powers of attorney, especially in our mobile
society as of this moment states
that have prohibited same-sex
marriage are not required to
recognize a lawful same-sex marriage performed in another state
(though I suspect we will see
a court challenge on this topic
soon).
It is very important to remember that in order to benefit
from the Supreme Court ruling,
couples must be legally married
under state law. Many couples
will still be ineligible to receive
federal spousal benefits, as the
majority of states still do not
allow same-sex marriage. I
suspect this may well factor in
the decision of where to live for
many couples.
The ruling on June 26 was a
momentous one but I suspect that
there will be many more court
cases to come before all is said
and done. Stay tuned.

After nearly eight years

of fundraising for lights
at Connor Field, Wildcat
Youth Football will be able
to play more home games at
night.
A Light the Night at
Connor Field lighting ceremony was set for Wednesday night as a celebration of
the fundraising efforts. Also
planned for football families and project supporters
was a movie, concession
stands and raffle with funds
going toward the lights.
Construction of the project, which was bid at about
$90,000, began June 18 and
was completed in mid-July,
in time for the seasons
first games this weekend.
But Wildcat Youth Football caught a break with
final costs, as area companies donated about $25,000
worth of time and materials
for the project.
Scott Krantz of Krantz
Electric, Inc., who has one
son playing in the football
club now and another who
played years ago, was the
prime contractor for the
effort. Other companies
who donated labor and
materials with the project
included Findorff, Edgerton, DOnofrio Kottke,
Lycon and E-Z Plumbing.
Krantz said each of the
four poles on the field contain four 1,500-watt metal
halide lights. The lights will
only be turned on as needed
by a master controller in
the fields shed, he said, so
they should last forever.
The City of Verona,
which had to approve
the project, ensured the
lights were constructed far
enough away from the wetland on the northeast corner
of the field.
The right time

Although Connor Field
is used by both football and
lacrosse teams, the lighting conflict comes into play
mostly with the seventhand eighth-grade Wildcat
Youth Football players who
are on the field weeknights.
W i l d c a t Y o u t h F o o tball president Samantha
Verona Area School District
Board takes on task of centralizing

New framework
would help direct
site councils
SCOTT GIRARD
The Verona Area School

Board has unveiled a new
plan to give more consistent
and clearer direction to site
councils and guide its own
future policy decisions.
The board is expected
to consider the document,
referred to as the districts
framework, next Monday,
Aug. 31, just in time for the
new school year. So far, it
has been discussed in draft
form at the boards curriculum, instruction and assessment (CIA) committee.
District administrators
began collaborating on the
document in July after hearing criticism from parents
from around the district,
some of which related to
inconsistencies among the
districts 11 sites.
The framework lists
four categories that should
Framework
The four factors all decisions are supposed to take into
account under the proposed framework, according to a
draft document:
Equity: Leadership will act to eliminate gaps and barriers
between our vision and the policies, practices, and structures that may perpetuate systematic inequities based on
race and class.
Excellence: All learners will have access to rigorous
content at or above grade level.
Empowerment: We will create sustainable partnerships
in supporting academic achievement for learners from all
racial groups.
Engagement and expectations: We will develop knowledge, attitudes, skills, and practices to create learning environments and opportunities that expect and support high
achievement for all learners.
affect all decisions: equity,
excellence, empowerment,
engagement/expectations.
Im more convinced than
ever that all of these things
are pieces to solving that
whole puzzle, board president Dennis Beres said at an
Aug. 21 CIA meeting.
If the board were to
approve the framework, he
said, site councils would
begin working on goals and
improvement plans with
some guide in mind, rather

than waiting for the board
to completely overhaul site
council policies, which
would take more time.
Even before the policy
changes, we could still make
this more the center of our
focus, said VASD technology director Betty Wottreng.
That work starts, really,

now.
The real challenge will
come after it becomes the
districts official direction,
because administrators will
need to make sure it does
not just become a beautiful graphic that we put on
the website, director of curriculum and assessment Ann
Franke said.
Superintendent Dean
Gorrell said sites can create improvement plans and
update how they are doing
within the framework at
least twice yearly to replace
the districts annual report.
Beres told the Press Monday that he expects the
framework to be on next
Mondays agenda so it can be
approved before the school
year begins. The agenda,
however, wont be finalized
until Wednesday,
The board meeting begins
at 7 p.m. at the administration
building, 700 N. Main St.
Dane County
Budget listening session Sept. 1

Dane County Executive
Joe Parisi will host listening
sessions next week for residents to provide their input
for his 2016 budget proposal.
Two sessions will be held
one in Fitchburg and one
in Sun Prairie. The Fitchburg session takes place
from 5:30-7 p.m. Tuesday,
Sept. 1, at the Fitchburg
Public Library, 5530 Lacy
Road. The Sun Prairie meeting will be held Sept. 2.
Dane Countys budget is
more than $500 million annually with 30 departments and
2,100 County employees.
More than half of the budget goes to human services
departments. County departments are working on submitting their budget requests to
the Parisi for his review.
Dane County is a great
place to work, live and raise
a family, Parisi said in a
news release. At the county we are working hard to
ensure we strengthen county
services while pursuing new
goals and innovations, while
being extremely mindful of

Youth football field

gets lights
Tadisch said that the Verona Lacrosse Club did not

think it was necessary to
have lights for its games, so
it did not contribute to the
project. She explained that
there are often two football
games scheduled in a row,
and since games are over an
hour long, the teams were
not always able to start the
second game.
Scheduling has always
been very difficult to get
those games in due to getting dark at 6:30 (p.m.) at
night, just because of the
number of teams we have,
Tadisch said. Once school
starts you cant really start
before 5 (p.m.), so it was
getting too dark and not
really safe to play games ...
Toward the end of the
season, we were having a
lot more away games on
fields that have lights just
to accommodate that.
Although lacrosse teams
also use Connor Field,
Tadisch said they did not
think lights were necessary
for their events, which is
why Wildcat Youth Football headed up the project.
Tadisch, who joined the
club in 2010, said the club
had already raised $30,000
for the lights project and
has taken out a five-year
loan with Capitol Bank for
the remaining balance of
about $35,000.
Its very doable, considering how much money
weve been putting away
each year since we decided
we were going to do this,
Tadisch said. There was
$30,000 earmarked for
lights ... And we figured
with the price of everything else going up we
have the money, we have to
spend it on lights, lets do
this.
To raise the money, the
club used to hold raffle fundraisers, but families agreed
that they would rather have
slightly increased fees. It
also received donations
from the Verona Optimist
Club and Structural Engineers.
Tadisch said the companies who helped with the
project were generous.
It was kind of just,
Yeah, well take care of
this, well take care of
that, she said. It was easier than I thought it would
be.

Are Your Goals SMART?

Having meaningful goals is an important part of a
happy, fulfilled life. We should always have some worthy
goals to work towards, both in the short-run and the
long-run. If your goals are worth having, it helps to think
about them systematically, and there is a nice acronym
from the discipline of project management that can help
in that regard. The acronym SMART stands for Specific,
Measurable, Achievable, Realistic (or Relevant), and
Timely. Specific goals are better than vague ones; I
want to give $10.00 to charity each week is better than
just saying you want to be more giving. Goals that can
be measured are easier to keep track of; better to keep a
log of those weekly charitable contributions than to just
guess at how much youve given. The goal should be
both achievable and realistic. Dont try to give $100.00
out of every paycheck to charity if you earn $300.00 a
week. And finally, your goals should be timely. That is,
you should put a timeframe on your goals and it can
also help if your short- and medium-term goals support
your long-term goals. For instance, if one of your longterm goals is to leave a large sum of money to a favorite
charity, then it will help to have short-term saving goals
which support that. God wants us to be happy, and one
of the ways in which we can fulfill Gods plan is to make
our goals align with His.

she said. Whether shes

working with a new customer or a repeat client, Fiez said
she provides a personalized,
professional service.
The first step is talking
with a client to gather information about what the customer has in mind.
My first job is to find out
what exactly is their goal,
Fiez said. Why are they
making a change to their
home, when are they going
to need it by and what do
they want to feel like when
theyre sitting in that room.
Next, shell go to the clients house to take notes and
make measurements. After
that, shell come back to her
studio and come up with
some suggested products and
styles for the home.
Then (I come out) with
the products that I think will
work for them and get their
vision as to what really is
going to work, she said.
Designers Showcase sells

blinds, shutters and shades
from many national companies that shes selected over
the years. She also works
with several local companies for bedding, upholstery
and window treatment seamstressing.
After the customer signs
off on what they want, Fiez
gets the product ordered
and schedules professional
installers. She also makes
sure everything works as
planned and provides service
after the installation.

worked alongside her mother, Pat Legler. Legler had

taken over the business in
1997 from Dean Rhudy and
Gar Dawson who opened
their design shop in the former Wesner Furniture shop
on West Verona Avenue in
1985. Legler and Fiez moved
the company to 303 E. Verona Avenue where it operated
for close to a decade. Fiez
started working from her
home studio June 1.
With the new location,
Fiez hopes to keep attracting

new customers and take on
new projects. Fiez, a member of the American Society
of Interior Designers, attends
annual conventions to keep
up-to-date on the latest
trends in interior design.
For example, Fiez said the
trends of minimalistic windows and bright interior colors is slowing down as more
homeowners want more
neutral colors and protection
from sunlight.

Family history
Fiez has worked at
Designers Showcase for just
over a decade, but shes been
around the business a lot longer.
She learned to sew at a
young age and that helped
shape her desire to be a
designer. However, Fiez
spent 25 years working at
CUNA Mutual before jumping into her design career.
Fiez joined Designers
Showcase in 2003 and

After nearly three decades

as a Verona-based business,
interior design firm Designers Showcase is now operating out of owner Terri Fiezs
home.
And while shes now technically in the City of Madison, Fiez said she considers
herself a Veronan at heart.
I can sit on my sun porch
and see the Verona water
tower, Fiez said. I feel like
Im in Verona.
Fiez made the decision to
close her downtown Verona
storefront last fall and started
working out of her new home
in June. The move follows
a trend of more and more
designers working from their
own home studios, Fiez said,
and it allows her to spend
more time working with customers in their own homes.
Customers seem real
receptive to this whole idea,
Fiez said, adding that having customers visit her home
gives them a sense of her
design style. They appreciate the fact that they
can see real finishes in the
home.
Fiez specializes in custom
window fashions, upholstery
and bedding and other interior design aspects. When
she built her new home, she
picked a lot that had northern exposure, so many of
the rooms have great natural
light that let customers see
how products function. She
designed the home to have
different types of interior finishes so that people could
see all kinds of different
choices.
I built to really be, kind
of a show room, she said.
Customers get a much better vision of what it is that
theyre going to be having in
their home.
In addition, her garage
doubles as a sample library
where hundreds of color
swatches and fabric samples
are available for customers
to see.

will continue and build on
the work of a behavior team
that includes administrators
and staff from around the
district that has been meeting
for the last year.
That task force was created after a tough end to the
school year during which
parents began expressing their problems with the
results of some of those
approaches, especially at
Stoner Prairie Elementary
School but also at a standing
room-only board meeting in
June.
Gorrell said schools
will not turn away from
the NHA, PBIS or other
approaches, like Restorative Justice, which focuses
on a misbehaving student
working through how his or
her actions harmed others.
He and other administrators hope a combination of
the approaches will have an
effect.
None of these is a silver
bullet, he cautioned.
Gorrell said NHA trainings this summer allowed

approaches the district has emphasized in recent years.
district staff to become certified trainers themselves, and

he said 40 other staffers sat
through training on restorative practices.
Another step in that process was giving counselor
and behavior coach Tammy
Holtan-Arnol, who has been a
major proponent of NHA and
provided trainings, more time
to focus on spreading NHA
by changing her position to
focus entirely on that. The
board approved that change at
its Aug. 17 meeting.
2. Personalized
Learning relaxes
Letter grades will return
to Savanna Oaks Middle
School, teacher trainings will
continue and some students
will begin to have their personalized learning plans this
upcoming year.
All of it is related to personalized learning, which the

board acknowledged this year

that it had set out too ambitious of a timeline in its initial support of the program,
extending full implementation by two years following
parent complaints.
In one example, parents
were upset over the changes
in grading and scheduling at
Savanna Oaks Middle School
and wondered why personalized learning, which focuses
on allowing each student to
demonstrate their learning in
a way that they can be interested in, was being implemented before all staff had
gone through training.
The extension will mostly
offer a chance for the district to
ensure all teachers get through
all three levels of training the
district is requiring before a
teacher can use the personalized learning plan software.
The use of that software
will already begin this year,
though, as some teachers
take the third training. Some
schools in the district did a trial
run last spring with the Epiphany software that will house
the plans, and the district has
decided to keep using it.
Not everybody, but some
people will be ready to use it
in September, VASD technology director Betty Wottreng said.
Those plans will include a
students interests and other
information and allow parents
to access it and provide additional information.
By the time the next school

budget is planned in the
spring, site councils could
have a much different set of
responsibilities from what
they have now.
Some school board members and administrators have
made it clear the need to
change what site councils
can do is a top priority for
this year.
As weve grown as a district, the site-based management as weve known it has
created a lot of inequities,
Gorrell said.
He and others pointed that
out at a committee meeting earlier this year, and said
they include how schools are
staffed, behavior programs
and grading feedback. Many
of those differences can be
traced to site councils, which
make the decisions on staffing
with input from site principals.
The site council system
has been in place since the
mid-1990s, and it originally aimed to ensure people
within the school could make
decisions that best fit that
school and neighborhood.
But as VASD has grown
and budgets have been tightened, there are often tougher
decisions, administrators
have said.
The school board at its
Aug. 31 meeting is expected
to look at a new framework
to guide future site council
decisions, as Gorrell emphasized the councils still need
to have a say in whats happening at their school.
This is not an all-or-nothing (situation), Gorrell said.
4. Schedule changes
Students at both the elementary and high school levels are in for changes to their
daily routines.
All four area-attendance
elementary schools have
switched to an A-B day
Even more VASD changes

State testing
The state legislature prohibited the Department of
Public Instruction from using the Badger Exam again
after its first year in 2014-15. The test measured the
Common Core standards. DPI has not determined what
test it will use to measure achievement this year, but it
will take place in the spring.
Land purchases
The district has closed on two of the three properties
approved by voters in the April referendum. A third is
still in the process and there could be another referendum coming sometime in the near future for property
on the citys north side, as the city gets ready to develop
the North Neighborhood.
Teacher training
Whether its behavior, personalized learning or other,
more commonplace training, funding and finding time
for teacher development will be a key to the district
moving forward with its top goals.
New director at CKCS

Rick Kisting returns to the district as director of
Core Knowledge Charter School after three years as
an associate principal at Glacier Creek Middle School
in the Middleton-Cross Plains School District. Kisting
will have three children at the school this year, and he
formerly taught at CKCS and Badger Ridge Middle
School.
Middle school study

The district wants to create more equity between its
middle schools, Savanna Oaks and Badger Ridge, in
instructional time, grading and other areas. A study will
review what each school does in a various areas and
what an ideal middle school might look like. It likely
wont be done this year, but discussions have begun.

style for related arts classes,
such as art, physical education and music. The change
was made to ensure students
have an equal number of each
class, something had been
affected by days off.
High school students will
have to handle four longer
periods rather than the traditional seven 50-minute classes, as the school moves to a
block schedule. The change
was made for the upcoming
year to assist the high school
as it promotes personalized
learning.
The elementary switch is in
a trial year and school principals are expected to report
back to the board near the end
of the year on how the change
goes. The high school held a
test run of the block scheduling in the spring and is now
planning to switch to it for
good.
The new high school schedule includes an A-plus
period, in which students will
meet with advisers and can get
extra help in classes they are
struggling with. VAHS principal Pam Hammen told the
school board earlier this year
the period will help students
develop relationships with
individual adults in the building who will serve as their
adviser for four years and meet
with them every week.
It's kind of the mom and
dad at school, Hammen told
the board. As we move to
personalized learning, this
person will become familiar
with their personalized learning plan, will have important
conversations about what
they want to do after high
school.
Just like at the elementary
schools, equitable opportunities for students was a consideration, as Hammen pointed
out those who cannot stay late
or come early to school might
be able to participate in clubs
or activities that can meet during the A-plus period.
In general, it's about
providing students an opportunity to work one-on-one

with staff in the school day,
she said. This is an important
equity piece.
5. Nearly one-to-one
Most students around the
Verona Area School District
will have access to their own
iPad or Chromebook this year.
The district put $250,000
toward acquiring an iPad for
every student grades 4-10
who did not already have a
device. Some already did,
such as the seventh- and
eighth-graders at Savanna
Oaks Middle School who all
had Chromebooks and will
keep them.
Devices will be able to go
home with students so they
can continue their work on
them.
Wottreng, the technology
director, told the Press district
administrators and staff are
getting ready for our rollout
of devices. The process will
include parent meetings early
in September for middle and
high school parents whose
kids will have a device.
A lot is going to happen
in the month of September,
Wottreng said.
Schools will let parents
know the dates and times for
those parent meetings. Once
those are completed, students
will begin to receive their
devices as early as Sept. 4,
Wottreng said.
Meetings will also take
place for elementary school
parents, but the schedule for
that is still being finalized,
Wottreng said. She added that
it would be completed in September, though.
Gorrell expects to see a full
spectrum of how the devices get used in classrooms,
with some teachers fully
embracing them and others
for whom technology may
not be their forte.
There will also be up to 10
devices per classroom for K-3
classrooms.

look to make
another state
splash
JEREMY JONES
Sports editor
Senior Beata Nelson has

amassed quite a trophy collection in her three seasons
with the Verona Area/Mount
Horeb girls swimming team.
Already an eight-time state
champion and national record
holder, Nelson spent five days
earlier this month representing not the Wildcats, but her
entire country as part of the
USA Junior World Team in
Singapore.
Needless to say, that kind
of success has every college
swimming coach in America
contacting one of the nations
top recruits.
For her part, Nelson seemingly balances it all with the
same bubbly, effervescent
personality shes always had.
The state record holder
in three individual events,
Nelson went a step further
last year, breaking Katie
McLaughlin of St. Margarita
(Cali.) High Schools national
high school and 15-16 national age group record for the
100-yard butterfly in 51.7 seconds.
The defending state champion in the 100 backstroke
as well, Nelson broke her
own state record by fourhundredths of a second with a
53.15.
The Wildcats have a lot of
talent past Nelson, however,
as they showed last season
winning the first sectional title
in program history.
Verona followed up a 10-0
overall dual meet record (9-0
Big Eight Conference) only
to finish 5 1/2 points shy of
Middleton at conference. The
Wildcats finished ahead of the
Cardinals at state, however,
finishing fourth overall at the
WIAA Division 1 state meet
for the second consecutive
season.

Assistant sports editor
Five trips to the red zone by

Madison West didnt phase the
Verona Area High School football
team Friday in a season opening
27-21 win at Curtis Jones Field.
The Regents only mustered one
touchdown from those drives,
including a game-clinching stop
by the Wildcats defense in the
fourth quarter.
West had the ball on the Verona
11-yard line with 32 seconds

left, and the defense forced four
incomplete passes by West senior
quarterback Daelon Savage.
The defense was on the field
for 50 plays in the first half and
half of those plays were in the red
zone, and we stopped them, head
coach Dave Richardson said. Our
defense was dog tired at halftime,
and they bent and didnt break. I
am really proud of them The last
series of the game was a time they
were really tested.
There were plenty of other
momentum shifts in the game, as
well. West senior linebacker Cameron Gorman picked off Verona
junior quarterback Max Fink in

the fourth quarter and ended up in
the end zone to give the Regents a
21-19 lead.
But Verona started their next
drive on their own 42-yard line,
and senior running back Carson
Parks ran 58 yards to score his
fourth touchdown of the game,
giving the Wildcats the lead again.
Fink (4-for-16, 23 yards) finished the scoring with a 2-point
conversion pass to senior Forrest
Hammen to make it 27-21.

the Western Section final at Stampfl Field.
The Cavaliers scored 10 times in

It is kind of a repeat of last

Burgenske followed with a double
before first baseman Mike Jordahl
then picked up an RBI single.
Jordahl stole second and made it

to third on a groundout by left fielder David Lund, and catcher Derek

an RBI fielders choice. Third baseman Danny Koss followed with an
RBI double to right-center.

Both teams traded touchdowns in the

first half. Parks got things started with
a 75-yard touchdown run in the second
quarter, and West sophomore running
back Jaden Stephens (17 carries for 91
yards) knotted the score at 7-7 on the next
drive with an 8-yard touchdown run.
It was a great feel for my lineman, and
the other running backs and wide receivers
did a great job blocking for me and making those great holes, Parks said.
Senior defensive lineman Trayvonn
Johnson added two sacks, while senior
defensive back Brycen Smith recovered a
fumble.

up, Parks said. We didnt want to lose
again, so that was one mission for us, and
we just kept pounding it in.
Parks, who finished with 269 yards on
20 carries, also broke 3-yard and 68-yard
touchdown runs in the third quarter, which
at the time gave the Wildcats a 19-7 lead.
West cut that lead to 19-14 a little later,
however, when Savage (33-for-56, 354
yards) threw a dart to junior Sam Meyer
(11 receptions, 66 yards) for a 27-yard
touchdown pass.
They responded to us, and we responded to them, Richardson said.
The Wildcats did look like they were
going to run the clock out before Wests
final drive after junior defensive lineman
TJ Hollis recovered a fumble with 1:56
left, but a Verona fumble by senior running back Eric Fey gave the Regents the
ball back.
Savage then threw a 39-yard pass to
Meyer, and Verona was called for a
roughing the passer penalty on the next
play. Savage later connected with sophomore wide receiver Keishawn Franklin for
a 16-yard pass before the Verona defense
was finally able to force a turnover on
downs.
With two 300-pound tackles and guys
up front that are pretty thick, it is hard to
get a pass rush, Richardson said. You
dont want to bring too many, because
they have too many great receivers. When
we did bring guys, it just seemed like we
didnt get home. Our linebackers and DBs
did a great job of making sure there were
no big plays but No. 25 (Terrell Carey)
and No. 9 (Meyer) are hard to stop.
to avoid a tag and moved up to third base.

A few batters later, Spencer walked, and
Burgenske hit a 2-run single to make it 10-0.
Verona added three more runs in the second, two in the fourth and three in the fifth.
Scanlon had an RBI single after a bad hop
skipped past the third baseman in the second,
and Scanlon and Brandt executed a double
steal to allow Brandt to score. Spencer finished the second with an RBI sacrifice fly.
In the fourth, Burgenske hit another 2-run
single, and Flora knocked in two runs in the
fifth with a triple to left-center. Brandt finished the scoring with an RBI sacrifice fly to
bring Flora home.
Kyle Nelson started on the mound for
Verona. He allowed no runs on five hits in
five innings to pick up the win. Nelson struck
out six and hit a batter. Matt Gust finished
the game. He allowed no runs and no hits in
two innings, walking two and striking out
one.
The Cavaliers are now guaranteed three

Conference preview
Annen said she expects
the Wildcats to compete for
another Big Eight title in
2015, and once again, Sun
Prairie and Middleton look
to be the other contenders.
Sun Prairie returns two of
four all-conference selections first-team sophomore outside hitter Claire
Chaussee (342 kills, 54

but Annen still expects both
teams to be highly competitive.
Janesville Craig is another team that can compete

last years squad fell short

of in the WIAA Division 1
sectional semifinals.
We have high expectations and great potential,
head coach Kelly Annen
said. The experience and
leadership of the returners
will allow us to succeed in
situations that we struggled
with in prior years. It will
also help us to develop the
underclassmen on the team
and within the program.
Leading the list of returners is senior setter Victoria
Brisack, who is on pace to
exceed 3,000 career assists
in 2015. Brisack, who will
be graduating from VAHS
early and will be attending
the University of Indiana on
a full volleyball scholarship
starting in January 2016,
collected 838 assists, 125
kills, 67 aces, 161 digs, 10
solo blocks and 34 assisted
blocks last season.
Annen said that Brisack
is not only the best setter
in the conference and the
region but has a strong case
to be called the best in the
state.
(Brisack) continues to
work hard to provide our
hitters with opportunities
for aggressive attacks no
matter what the pass may
be, Annen said. In addition to her assists, she is an
aggressive attacker at the
net as well.
Two other key returners are senior outside hitter Kylie Schmaltz and
senior middle blocker Julie
Touchett, who are both
being recruited for Division I colleges. Schmaltz
finished with 286 kills, 317
digs, 61 aces and 20 total
blocks (4 solo, 16 assisted),
while Touchett picked up
42 total blocks (11 solo, 31
assisted) and 118 kills.
(Schmaltzs) physical
strength and agility allow
her uncontested opportunities at the net, Annen said.
Julie has worked hard in
the off-season to improve
her ability to move across
the net. Her improved
strength and agility have
helped create many opportunities for her.

Council: Historical society, residents trying to preserve old building

do the latter, presenting a
case for saving the building
by cutting out certain parts
of the contractors suggestions and getting in-kind
donations from contractors,
among other things.
Charles came with support in the audience from
VHS members and the
great-great granddaughter of
the homes original owner,
Josiah H.B. Matts, though
they didnt speak. Hed only
begun his research into how
much historical value the
home might have and what
could be done with it perhaps a welcome center or a
home for the historical society but he promised to do
more if the council could
give him a few months to
work on it.
Charles referred to the
proverbial wings and
roots kids supposedly
need to grow into their best
selves and suggested Verona

is becoming unbalanced in
that regard.
We have wonderful
wings, but fewer and fewer
tangible reminders of our
hometown roots, he said.
The speech got the
attention of Ald. Evan
Touchett (D-4), who broke
with council tradition by
responding in somewhat of
his own public comment
and asking rhetorically
whether its worth saving the building. Touchett
recounted a story public
works director Ron Rieder had told him minutes
earlier about how citizens
came out in droves to argue
against spending a couple
hundred thousand dollars to
bury power lines downtown
in the 1980s, implying that
the unpopular, expensive
decision then was clearly
the right one.
More than an hour later, Charles and company
were still outside the building strategizing, eventually joined by former mayor
John Volker, who restarted
the historical society in
2006. The group tossed
around ideas for organizing
petitions, looking for business partners and finding
out whatever they can about
how an old, broken-down
building with historical significance could be saved.
The council has made no
formal votes on the matter
and did not have it up for
discussion Monday. City
staff had been planning to
get bids for ideas on the
property soon, whether that
might be to purchase the lot
and redevelop, to demolish
the building or to save it.
Anyone interested in the
plan for Candinas can see it
firsthand and discuss plans
to redevelop that property
and add apartments and
The council held a closed

negotiating session on an
agreement the city has been

of Verona.

Re: Planned Development Concept Plan
for 142 Paoli Street to Allow for the Construction of a 6,200 Square Foot Commercial Building and a 36-unit Apartment
Building. Ald. Diaz asked if the neighboring streets can handle the increased
traffic as a result of the density of the
proposal. Mr. Gundlach responded that
the streets would have more congestion but could handle the traffic. A traffic
signal at the Main and Paoli intersection
has been discussed but will not be installed until next year. Ald. Yurs asked
how this proposal fist in the Downtown
Plan. Mr. Sayre explained that this property is not in the downtown plan area but
is very close to the downtown corridor
and fits in the overall vision of the downtown. It could bring more people to the
downtown and bookend the downtown.
Ald. Stiner stated that this is a good proposal especially for those wanting to be
near the Military Ridge Trail. Ald. Diaz
reiterated that the city needs to put light
at Main and Paoli for this to be safe and
encourages the developers to have a
neighborhood meeting with nearby residents regarding the proposal. Ald. Diaz
asked developer what they have in mind
for tenants for the commercial building.
Bill Dresser addressed the Council on
behalf of the applicant. The commercial
portion is located at the corner of the
property to increase visibility and to try
to entice a caf or food venue. A current
potential tenant is a hair salon. Ald. McGilvray mentioned that it is important to
balance the number of proposed units;
since the proposal is 25 units per acre
this would set a new standard for future
developments as our historical high is
20 units per acre. If this were to be approved it would set a new historical
standard and its important to take that
into consideration when making decisions on this project. He also asked that
the developer improve the look and feel
of the project through the quality of materials used to make it a littler nicer. Ald.
Touchett echoed Mr. McGilvrays comments regarding the density. No action
was taken on the item.

residential and commercial
properties.
That marks the end of a
long era, with Bob Courter
having announced in July he
was retiring at the end of the
citys assessment period after
35 years with the city. Board
of Review finished early
this year, with no contested
assessments, so his 2015
duties are finished.
Both Courter and Musser
were under contract in recent
years, with Musser generally
handling commercial assessments, and the two were paid
a combined $63,948 in 2014.

The new contract pays Musser $55,000 to handle both
duties.
MT Treads patio
The council approved an
outdoor patio where alcohol
can be served at MT Treads
Bar and Grill, which is
slowly taking over the spot
where Michaels used to be,
at 407 W. Verona Ave.
The wrought-iron fencing
around the area had already
been constructed before
the issue went to the Public
Safety and Welfare committee. Alcohol service is limited to 10 p.m. in the outdoors
area, which is across the
street from another restaurant with an outdoor service
area, Klassik Tavern.
PSW chair Ald. Dale Yurs
(D-2) reported that the restaurant will be opening soon
after repeated constructionrelated delays that have left
the ownership frustrated.

Re: Facilities Assessment Summary of
the Property at 101 N Main Street. Mr.
Sayre provided background information
on the property that was acquired earlier
this year with the main purpose of the
purchase being for future right-of-way
acquisition. Since acquiring the property we have drafted a Certified Survey
Map showing the existing property lines
and the area in which the right-of-way
would be. The City is in the position of
what should be done with the house
and property not needed for the rightof-way. Tonight a report is available on
the property that includes the scope of
work that the property needs for various rehabilitation options. Some of the
issues to be addressed include; foundation work, leveling the floors, repairing
water damage, plumbing issues, electrical repairs, and much of the character
of the building has been removed. The
proposed options include: repair to halt
further damage at a cost of $47,500 to
$75,000; infrastructure rehabilitation
at a cost of $507,500 to $612,500; full
rehabilitation at a cost of $1,017,500 to
$1,260,000; or replacement (new building on the site) at a cost of $975,000 to
$1,365,000. Staff requests direction from
the Council on what should be done with
the structure on the property. Should the
structure be demolished? If the Council
wishes to keep the structure what type
of incentives is the City willing to provide to keep rehab the property? If there
is direction to keep the structure staff
recommends spending the money to
repair and winterize the property before
the end of this year. One other thing to
consider at this time would be the potential uses for the property. Ald. Yurs
spoke noting that the historical features of the interior of the property are
all gone and for that reason it may not
be worth salvaging. Ald. Reekie agreed
that the building is in very rough shape
and if the consensus was to demolish it
some of the original pieces such as the
brick should be repurposed in the City

to preserve the nostalgia of the historical building. Ald. Stiner stated that as a
Verona Area Historical Society member
he would like to preserve a building like
this but after touring this building he
agrees that it is so dilapidated it would
be difficult to find a use for it. Ald. Diaz
agrees with Ald. Reekie in the re-using
of materials and says ideally he would
like to keep the building but its a lot of
money to rehab it. He would like to see
the City go with the RFP process to see
if someone comes up with a good use
for the property. Ald. McGilvray also
agrees with the idea to re-use the building bricks and agrees with Ald. Yurs that
the historical significance of the building has been destroyed and it wouldnt
be worth the cost to completely rehab
the building. He struggles with the bottom line number in the study to rebuild
and thinks the cost could be less to
rebuild on the site. Mayor Hochkammer noted that it was still a good move
for the City to purchase because of the
right-of-way and after seeing the building understands why it was hard to sell
in the first place. Mayor Hochkammer
thinks an RFP to see whats out there
and what is offered is a smart idea. Ald.
Touchett requested that the item be
brought back for further discussion to
allow residents to comment and provide
feedback on the proposals discussed
tonight. No action was taken on the item.
Re: Approval of Operator Licenses as
read by Ms. Scofield. Motion by Yurs,
seconded by Reekie to approve the operator licenses. Motion Carried 7/0

Frozen treat
On the web
Orange Leaf in Verona was packed with families for a Frozen fundraiser for the Verona Public Library
on Monday evening. The event featured a Frozen story time, a guest appearance by Queen Elsa and, of
course, frozen yogurt. Orange Leaf donated 20 percent of its total net sales from 4-10 p.m. that day to
the Verona Public Library. Above, kids yell for Queen Elsa to arrive. Left, Marie Govin, 2, of Verona, sits

UGM: Starts Aug. 31

just an example of how the company has
fun with a new theme every year, the
fact sheet reads.
One example in a four-day event full of
them is a Tuesday night Made-for-TVDinner, where customers can take part
in vintage-themed fun including a TV
dinner-eating contest.
In past years, customers have attended two major addresses from CEO Judy
Faulkner and president Carl Dvorak on
separate days. This year, Dvoraks Cool
Stuff Ahead and Faulkners executive
address update on the company will both
be Tuesday morning in the 11,000-seat
Deep Space auditorium.
Outside of those speeches attended by
almost everyone customers will have the
opportunity to choose from among 700
sessions, with 90 percent of those presented by Epic customers, according to the
fact sheet.
Weve also structured time for folks to
just meet with each other to share how
theyre using technology and to build a
strong sense of community, the fact sheet
reads. The focus is on sharing successes
and experiences and taking home ideas
for care quality, interoperability, patient
engagement, analytics, population health
and waste reduction among others.
This year, the company added a series
of regional networking events to the
schedule to help local medical communities serve patients better through coordination with each other.
Epic is currently finishing its new Wizards Academy campus the companys
fourth at of office buildings, in a Harry
Potter-type theme and recently opened
its Kings Cross-themed dining hall, which
is modeled after a London transit station.
Neither building will be available for
tours for customers, though, as both are
still under construction, Epic spokesperson Erika Koch said in an email.
Mason McGlynn, 7, of Verona, practices blowing his boat through the water before the event.
Raingutter
Regatta
Cub Scout Pack 549 held its
annual Raingutter Regatta
event Aug. 20 at Tollefson
Park. Scouts built boats out of
a kit and used straws and their
lungs to get their boat down
a raingutter filled with water
faster than their opponent.
Some scouts decorated their
boat, as well.
