Santa Claus visited Verona this weekend to help ring in
Hometown Holidays and brighten Central Park with holiday lights. Friday night, Santa joined a large turnout of
families and Verona resident Gary Cannalte, the Channel 3
meteorologist, to light up the park and eat firehouse chili at
the senior center. The rest of the weekend included sales
at area businesses and another visit from Santa Saturday
morning.
Above, Santa and Cannalte lead the crowd in saying Happy
holidays as the tree lights turn on.

Although MT Treads
Bar and Grill has
been closed since late
November, the restaurants owners hope to
open it back up soon.
Kay Kratochwill of
Feed Your Business
LLC, which is working
with the Treads owners, told the Press the
restaurant recognized
it needed to take some
time and get our ducks
in a row after its initial
opening.
Kratochwill cited a
desire for providing the
best service they could
as one of the main reasons for the closure.
Kratochwill stressed
that there is no set date
for the bar to reopen
yet, but they are aiming
for before the end of the

Library up for
$100K challenge
Fundraising goal to
qualify for $50,000
challenge grant
The Verona Public
Library has been offered
a $50,000 Community
Impact Grant from the
Madison Community Foundation, but theyll need to
raise twice that amount to
formally receive it.
According to a news
release from the library
board last week, the library
plans to use the challenge
grant to establish a permanent endowment fund for
innovative programs, performances, lectures, traveling exhibits, technology
upgrades and supplemental
materials to enhance the
library collection.
In order to obtain the
$50,000 matching funds
from the Madison Community Foundation, the library
is starting an endowment
campaign to raise $100,000.
The endowment will
benefit Verona and area residents now and in the future
by providing enhanced
library services and programming beyond the
librarys tax-funded operating budget, library director
Stacey Burkart said. The
librarys goal is to help create an informed, educated
and connected community
by focusing on areas of early education, lifelong learning and technology.
In the news release,
Burkart noted that the number of library programs and
events has tripled over the
last decade. Library use has
also significantly increased,
with book check-outs
increasing by 130 percent.
The library already has
a great track record of providing exceptional service
and programs, as evidenced

by the library being named
Wisconsin Library Associations Library of the Year in
2013, Burkart said.
Ongoing gift
The library will utilize
interest from the endowment fund, established
with the Madison Community Foundation grant and
endowment campaign, to
continue and expand early
literacy partnerships with
the Verona Area School
District, Badger Prairie
Needs Network and Dane
County libraries. The
endowment will also help
the library continue its collaborations with national,
state and local organizations, such as the American
Library Association, the
National Endowment for
the Humanities, Wisconsin
Womens Business Initiative Corporation, Wisconsin Public Television and
the Wisconsin State Historical Society, to provide
high-quality library programming.
This permanent fund
will ensure that the library
continues to thrive for
generations to come,
said Madison Community
Foundation vice president
of community impact Tom
Linfield.

The description should have read that toys for the Helping Hands

Not uncommon
Most people associate arthritis with
old age and that is where its most
prevalent, according to the Arthritis
Foundations website. Still, more than
300,000 children in the United States
suffer from it, said the foundations
associate director of community development Hana Johnson.
Kooiman, too, said she finds herself explaining it to many people, even
those much older.
I just had a conversation with my
English teacher the other day, she
recalled. At first, it was like, Oh, I
thought only older people could get
that.
Kooiman recalled the weekly shots
she received growing up that just
became part of the family routine, or
the days that she couldnt participate in
gym class because she wasnt moving
as well as she needed to that day.
I have a great support system and
the people around me really understand that, she said. Its nice to be
able to turn that negative thing into a
positive thing by using it to educate
people.
Johnson commended Kooiman for
her advocacy.
Were lucky to have her, Johnson
said.
Kooiman is also one of the top fundraisers for the event, coming in fifth
and surpassing her $500 goal by raising $545, according to the events
website. In total, the event has surpassed its $70,000 goal and had raised
$72,720 as of Tuesday.

Retirements
The board approved
another four teachers for
retirement Monday night
Janet Farnan, Liz Buerger,
Susan Cook and Paula
Wick. They have totaled
83 years of service to the
district.
Vanessa Beardsly, a
parent speaking during
the public comment portion, noted that three of
the teachers are part of the
PALS program at Stoner
Prairie Elementary School,
and encouraged the district
to still support the program
moving forward.
(PALS is) truly one
of the greatest things that
have ever happened to
our family, Beardsly said
after thanking the teachers
for all they had done.
Trail Edge
The 1.6-acre Trail Edge
project, backing up against
the Military Ridge State
Trail, is the third version of
a development previously
approved by the city but never consummated for business
reasons.
Though neighbors were
uneasy the first time around,
on a European-style mix of
bicycle-friendly apartments
connected to a restaurant,
they didnt raise the flat-out
objections they have this
year. That mainly is owed
to an increased number of
apartments developer Bill
Dresser and his architects
implied were necessary to
win financing.
The commission agreed
that 36 was too many, led by
Sayres detailed staff analysis and feedback that called
for bumping it below 32.
Some commissioners said
theyd prefer to go quite a bit
further, noting that the previously approved plan had 24.
What would otherwise
be in another part of the city
a very, very nice development, said Scott Manley,
is hugely dense there. He
added that he didnt view it
as a truly mixed-use development because the commercial and apartment buildings
are so separate.
The commission also recognized, as Dresser pointed
out, that the previous condition of the property abandoned and infested with
insects and bats was a nuisance and that something new
there would be beneficial.
I want to see this property developed, Mayor Jon
Hochkammer said, adding
that he prefers to see singlefamily developments as much
as possible over multifamily.
Neighbors seemed to agree

Though there was no

allowed for the discussion
about converting the 5-acre

Chocolatier into a retailrestaurant-apartment development, neighbors have still
made their feelings plain,
and the commission made it
clear they understood.
Among the clues was a
petition with more than 100
signatures of area residents
Sayre referred to, as well as
several calls and emails that
went to alders and references
to two neighborhood meetings that did not go in owner
Markus Candinas favor.
Sayre also noted that the
property is located in the
Town of Verona, and with
a commercial designation,
there are many possible ways
it could be developed if the
