This fall at Core Knowledge
Charter School, a group of eighth-
graders huddled around a comput-
er, having a Skype conversation
about the importance of hats and
socks.
On the other side of the con-
versation was a teacher at the
American International School of
Amman in Jordan, who told them
about his plans to deliver the 15
boxes of hats and socks the stu-
dents would eventually send to
Syrian refugees in Jordan. He also
talked to them about the Syrian
conflict, refugee camps and day-
to-day life in Jordan.
Thats one of the projects the
Core Knowledge students have
taken on as part of the schools
emphasis on service learning,
a concept that CKCS director
Brett Stousland brought to the
school from prior jobs at overseas
schools when he took over two
years ago.

The senior exercise group at the Verona Senior Center is the place to be as the weather has turned cold, and participants are staying
active and getting stronger, recently needing an upgrade of heavier weights for their classes, which run twice a week.
Making Progress
Senior exercise group gaining popularity, muscle
SCOTT DE LARUELLE
Unied Newspaper Group
For the two dozen or so seniors
who meet at the Verona Senior Cen-
ter every Monday and Thursday
morning for exercise classes with
Shannon Maguire, the event is part
fun and part hard work.
The group is growing in size, as
well as in muscle power, as the cen-
ter recently had to purchase heavier
weights for the group. Chris Nye of
the Verona Senior Center said its
hard to measure the progress of the
participants, but they have undoubt-
edly gotten stronger in the past sev-
eral months.
It has helped people taking the
class in reduced falls or accidents,
with better balance, which is exactly
what we want, he said. it has been
very important in improving all of
the participants lives, if nothing
other than the social aspect of get-
ting together with other like-minded
individuals each week.
Maguire said the group has about
doubled in size in the past months,
after starting out in a small back
room. She said the key is to teach
exercises that people can do at
home.
The benefits are strength train-
ing, balance, quality-of-life skills
we talk about nutrition and com-
munity. We laugh here and talk.
Some participants have outgrown
the 1- and 2-pound weights and are
now up to using 6-pounders for their

JIM FEROLIE
Verona Press editor
With Hometown Days
2014 less than five months
away, t he Verona Area
Chamber of Commerce is
looking for any help and
feedback it can get from
community organizations
and individuals.
The chamber, which is

planning major changes this
year but will be looking to
involve the community in
its planning as much as pos-
sible.

JIM FEROLIE
Verona Press editor
Each winter, as the City
of Verona emerges from
the blitz of budget planning
and the fog of the holidays,
it seems theres always a
complicated issue to tackle.
Last year, there was not
just planning for the down-
town, but Epics growth
and the fire department
transition. The year before,
it was industrial develop-
ments and keeping apart-
ment development in check.
Next week the Common
Council will hold a special
committee of the whole
meeting to plan out a vari-
ety of issues that affect the
northern buffer between
Verona and Madison.
Landowners and develop-
ers have been planning that
area known collectively
as the North Neighbor-
hood for several years,
but there hadnt been much
urgency before.
At first, the city was
involved in a consolidation
effort with the town and had
a large inventory of avail-
able lots for building. Then
the economy took a nose-
dive as the areas regional
planning body tightened
rules for growth.
But now, with traffic

Dane County
Plan would expand Sugar River access area
Deal with
conservation group
adds 154 acres
JIM FEROLIE
Verona Press editor
A year ago, Dane Coun-
ty Executive Joe Parisi
announced a plan to pur-
chase about half of the
Bruce Companys land in
and around the Town of
Verona to create a protected
recreational area around the
Sugar River.
M o n d a y , P a r i s i
announced a deal to expand
that area. Much less expen-
sive than last years unprec-
edented $3 million land
purchase, the county would
contribute just over half of
the $307,000 cost of setting
aside 154 acres more for
conservation in a perma-
nent easement.
The rest is to be provid-
ed by the Natural Heritage
Land Trust, which also col-
laborated on the countys
original purchase, approved
by the board in February.
Working together with
the property owner and
the Natural Heritage Land
Trust, this easement opens
up miles of the Sugar River
for canoeing, fishing, and
soon hiking, Parisi wrote
in a news release announc-
ing the deal.
Parisi noted his 2014
count y budget i ncl udes
$300,000 for development
of a new trail spanning the
former Bruce Company
property from Paoli north
to Sunset Drive in the Town
of Verona. The total area
now owned or controlled
by the county is more than
600 acres, adding to an
already extensive amount
of prime recreation areas in
the southern portion of the
town.
Its within two miles of
Prairie Moraine County
Park (160 acres), Schei-
degger County Forest (78
acres) and the Madison
School Forest (307 acres).
Also nearby is the 110-
acre Sugar River Wetlands
State Natural Area just
outside the U.S. 18-151
bypass. But what will sepa-
rate the recent acquisition
from those areas is access
to the shallow, meandering
river, which is known for
its canoeing and trout fish-
ing.
Whether on foot or in
the water, what we are
doing today means fami-
lies will be able to relax and
enjoy one of the finest natu-
ral resources in the state
and region for generations
to come, Parisi said in the
release.
According to the release,
t he easement pur chase
would permanently pro-
tect public access to more
than 2.5 miles of the Sugar
River. A recent assessment
by the state Department of
Natural Resources noted
numerous species of fish in
this stretch of river.
County staff completed
installation of a new public
parking area on the south
end of the Bruce Company
property last fall for indi-
viduals looking to fish on
the Sugar River. A similar
lot and canoe launch will
be constructed on the north
end of the property this
coming spring.
The area already fea-
tures a gravel parking lot
in the middle and a bridge
that is used annually as a
canoe launch for an aware-
ness event put on by the
Upper Sugar River Water-
shed Association, an orga-
ni zat i on commi t t ed t o
preservation of the river
and surrounding area. After
several years of monitoring,
habitat renewal and out-
reach, the USRWAs efforts
contributed to getting the
rivers West Branch taken
off the national Impaired
Waters list in 2004.
The original purchase of
466 acres last year was the
largest acquisition of riv-
erfront property in Dane
Countys history, according
to the county release. The
countys proposed contri-
bution for the additional
public lands -- labeled in a
map provided by the county
as the Sarbacker Farm --
would be a $161,206 Con-
servation Grant.
The fund provides match-
ing grants for other units of
local government or non-
profit organizations to help
preserve natural, recreation-
al, and cultural resource
lands in Dane County.
Pending approval by the
County Board, the release
said, it would cover 52 per-
cent of the $307,622 needed
for NHLT to purchase the
land. The rest would be
covered by matching funds
from the 2014 NRCS Farm
and Ranch Lands Protec-
tion Program and NHLT.

City of Verona
Alders OK with small-lot plan
JIM FEROLIE
Verona Press editor
A plan to fill a small
southeast-side neighbor-
hood wi t h ext r a- smal l
home l ot s t ook shape
Monday.
Alders generally agreed
with the Plan Commis-
sions unofficial opinion
on the ideal plan for the
remaining 7-acre piece
of Homet own Gr ove,
across from Glacier Edge
Elementary School. The
previous week, a major-
ity of commissioners had
endorsed a modified ver-
sion of one of four options
presented by developer
Chuck Buell.
Though some members
of both groups preferred
a standard approach that
would fill the oddly shaped
piece of property with con-
forming lots, streets and
setbacks, more preferred
an approach that squeezed
in a few more units and an
extra community park area
in exchange for permitting
roughly 4,000-square-foot
lot sizes two-thirds of
the current minimum and
exemptions to building
setbacks and roadway and
right-of-way widths.
That traditional neigh-
borhood design-inspired
pl an woul d f eat ur e a
heightened level of archi-
t ect ur al r equi r ement s,
front porches and rear
garages on some of the
homes and could feature
condominium-style shared
maintenance agreements.
Though i t woul d bri ng
homes that are afford-
able by Verona standards,
that term has been tossed
around loosely, as costs
would still probably start
around $220,000.
Despi t e some al ders
misgivings about access
for emergency vehicles,
parki ng and t he whol e
small-lot concept, it was
the first time any plan for
that last remaining unde-
veloped section within the
bypass of the south side of
the city had gotten so far.
Buell expressed confi-
dence in finally complet-
ing the neighborhood hes
been involved with for
around a decade.
We woul d cert ai nl y
appreciate as much direc-
tion as we can get, because
the next time well be back
in front of you it will be
with a GDP, Buell said,
referring to the second and
probably most important
step of a three-stage pro-
cess that allows for excep-
tions to a variety of zoning
standards.
The s ect i on had an
appr oved pl an f or 94
townhomes, a handful of
which have already been
built and some of which
apparently will be relo-
cated a few hundred feet.
That 2004 design wont fit
the current market, which
dropped significantly for
condominiums prior to the
Great Recession.
The pr e f e r r e d ve r -
sion which would mix
standard-sized lots with
the small-lot homes is
somewhat of a compro-
mise between townhomes
and a regular single-family
subdi vi si on, somet hi ng
that hasnt really existed in
Verona, though its been
tried in Madison and other
parts of the county. The
most significant departure
from Veronas previous
style would use alleys to
separate rows of lots less
than half the size of the
citys minimum prior to
1998.
Ald. Scott Manley (Dist.
2) expressed concern that
the subdivision would be
rows of cookie cutter,
Madison-style develop-
ment lacking the char-
acter he said Verona has
established. And though
Ald. Brad Stiner (D-3)
hasnt said much about the
plans, he indicated after
the meeting that he wont
be supporting what he sees
and took note of safety
concerns.
B u t Ma y o r J o n
Hochkammer agreed with
the majority in supporting
option D, saying despite
its imperfections and small
lot sizes, it was a small
enough area to be a good
test case for the new style.
And city engineer Bob
Gundlach supported all of
the road configurations for
the first time, even as he
acknowledged emergency
services chiefs would still
rather have more room to
maneuver.
The opinions expressed
Monday and l ast week
dont bind the city to any-
thing. The entitlement
phase would be the next
step, likely this spring.
Other action
Alders unanimously
approved, with no discus-
sion, conditional use per-
mits for a Little Caesars
Pizza and a Brews Broth-
ers restaurant and pub on
Hometown Circle, just off
East Verona Avenue.
The council acknowl-
edged an error in having
accidentally charged St.
Vincent De Pauls thrift
shop property taxes. It
rescinded a $31,864 tax
bill sent to the tax-exempt
property.
The council modified a
lease agreement with U.S.
Cellular for two phone
antenna locations one on
the North Water Tower and
another on a rebuild light
pole at Stampfl Field to
clarify access and respon-
sibilities.
The l ease t er ms ar e
$1, 500 per mont h f or
Stampfl Field and $2,185
per month for the water
tower, with both includ-
ing space for small utility
buildings below.
City begins mixing salt with sand for roads
SCOTT GIRARD
Unied Newspaper Group
The city of Verona will
mix sand with its salt for
the rest of the winter when
treating roads in icy and
snowy conditions.
Public works director
Ron Rieder said the city is
nearing its salt allotment,
and while hes not in the
panic mode or anything,
with it still being only mid-
January, they want to save
salt where they can.
He said they typically
only mix sand in when
t here are ext reme l ow
weather temperatures, due
to the extra costs associated
with street cleaning when
sand is involved and com-
plaints about sand tracked
into garages.
But each year around this
time, he said, the depart-
ment consi ders mi xi ng
the two more regularly to
ensure their salt allotment
will last them the rest of the
unpredictable Wisconsin
winter.
Rieder added that many
communi t i es, i ncl udi ng
some parts of Madison, use
salt-sand mixture through-
out the entire season, but
he understands why people
might react negatively to
the mix in Verona.
If you change your pro-
cedure, it usually generates
a couple phone calls, he
said.

meetings will take input
from anyone who is pres-
ent. However, ultimately,
decisions will fall back
on executive director Karl
Cur t i s, t he new assi s-
tant hes hiring to handle
Hometown Days and, as
needed, t he chamber s
Board of Directors.
Curtis said he welcomes
help and input from any-
one, but he s par t i cu-
larly looking to see if any
groups that have not been
i nvol ved i n t he past or
werent recent l y woul d
like find a way for their
members to help out and
possibly benefit from the
thousands of people who
visit over the four-day fes-
tival.
This years festival runs
from June 12-15, and many
deci si ons have al ready
been made, such as ven-
dors and musical acts. But
tweaks are possible and
Curtis suggested that its
never too early to start
planning the 2015 festival.
Its as much about the
2015 festival as the 2014
festival, simply because
of time, Curtis told the
Verona Press. We want
to hear suggestions for the
long-term viability of the
festival, as well.
For example, the cham-
ber boar d has t os s ed
around ideas such as add-
ing to the number of musi-
cal performances, bring-
ing in bigger-name shows,
hol di ng a communi t y
chicken dinner like the one
held in Cross Plains on
Memorial Day or starting a
new activity.
Curtis said hes hoping
to have a coordinator hired
by the time the meeting
opens, and he will explain
the structure of the groups
decision making at the ini-
tial meeting.

Pursuit of happiness
usually begins within
Last week my wife and I vis-
ited a local diner in Belleville
for breakfast. Its a nice place,
offering good food at reasonable
prices.
What struck me most about our
visit, however, was our waitress.
She seemed to really enjoy her
work and one might suspect that
bringing us our omelets made
her day com-
plete. Perhaps
she is an excel-
l e nt a c t r e s s ,
but it seemed
she could have
enjoyed noth-
ing more than
getting up early
on a Saturday
mor ni ng and
delivering food
to a hungry populace.
It reminded me of a well-worn
phrase widely attributed to Con-
fucius: If you love what you do,
you will not work a day in your
life. While some people might
take this to mean we all should
go out and find the exact job that
will make them happy, that is not
always reality.
The same can be said of that
perfect partner, the soul mate
with whom affection and caring
will be effortless.
For a wide range of reasons,
you might not find yourself in
your dream job. And who knows,
if you were in that dream job,
it might not be as great as you
thought it would be.
Again, the same is true in mar-
riage; regardless of your choices,
you will still need to weather
some setbacks and build an inti-
mate relationship if you want to
be happy.
For me, being a psychologist
has always seemed like the right
role, and I have never looked
back. It usually doesnt seem like
work in any negative sense of the
word, although I put a great deal
of effort into it.
But I was fortunate to find the
right career. I was also fortunate
to find the right partner, although
I probably most appreciate that
fact now, 30-plus years into our
relationship.
A more common situation is
described in Mihaly Czikszent-
mihalys book Flow. The Hun-
garian philosopher shows us that
while not everyone can find their
dream job, perhaps we can find
aspects of our work in which we
can emphasize the best of our tal-
ents and interests and excel.
I would suspect that an excel-
lent waitperson doesnt find great
joy in walking back and forth car-
rying heavy objects and cleaning
up messes. Instead, their mas-
tery shines in their many skills at
helping others.
To remain stuck in an attitude
of resentment and pain, in a job
you detest, is harmful to your
health. Even if you cannot move
on, however, you may be able
to find aspects of your work in
which you can thrive.
On a side note, for employers
and managers to ignore factors of
employee well-being and engage-
ment is to ignore a critical predic-
tor of success and profitability
for your business. This has been
demonstrated repeatedly through
studies of the relationship of
employee health, management
of mental health and employee
engagement to organizational
success. Even the U.S. military
has been examining the relation-
ship of toxic leadership to sui-
cides and other negative indices.
So we come to an obvious con-
clusion. Finding ways to enjoy
the benefits of work and to focus
less on the negatives is impera-
tive to well-being and to that of
our loved ones.
For t he empl oyer, fi ndi ng
every possible way to foster a
sense of success, progress and
feeling appreciated in employees,
is critical to the bottom line. This
sounds so simple and yet it is a
success formula often ignored by
both sides of the equation.
As in dreaming of a different
job, many people dream of a soul
mate, other than their current
partner, who would make every-
thing right without the work of
fostering a relationship. This per-
son would meet all those hidden
needs and wishes that their cur-
rent partner just doesnt under-
stand.
With this fantasy, the person
fails to recognize that he or she
is the only person who can author
his or her own happiness. A new
job or new partner will only be a
temporary fix.
This is not to suggest that
we should simply make do and
accept our lot in life. Quite the
opposite, we are healthier when
we focus on the internal process-
es of making ourselves happy.
That might include striving to
find a better job, but it might also
include, in the interim, being the
best at what we do and living to
the fullest while working toward
improvement.
That great waitress might not
intend to be a waitress the rest of
her life, but she excels at a criti-
cal part of the job and seems to
thrive at this time. Similarly, if
you dream that there is a soul
mate out there, divinely placed
to meet all your needs, without
effort on your part, you are build-
ing your own hell.
Developing a truly intimate
relationship with your current
partner may be a challenge, but it
will also yield benefits you may
not even imagine at this point.
Dream on in this brave new
year of 2014 but dont be satis-
fied with mere fantasies. Instead
develop the best within you and
dont wait for a different employ-
er or lover to improve your lot.
And as Red Green would say,
Remember, were all in this

Letter to the editor
Thanks for returning sons lost wallet
To the anonymous person who
found my sons wallet and turned
it in to the Verona Police Depart-
ment, a great big thank you to
you!
Every single thing that was in
his wallet, was still in his wallet
when it was turned in; we are very
appreciative of that.
There is so much bad news
everywhere, that its refreshing to
see something positive happen.
My faith in the goodness and
honesty of people is restored!

Guidelines for election letters
Unified Newspaper Group is
proud to offer a venue for public
debate and welcomes letters to the
editor, provided they comply with
our guidelines.
Political endorsements and oth-
er election letters must be submit-
ted about two weeks before the
relevant election.
For the upcoming spring elec-
tion, letters related to the primary
must be received by Feb. 3 and
will be printed by Feb. 6.
General election letters need
to be submitted by March 17 and
will be printed March 20.
Other special rules apply during
election season.
Letters should be no longer
than 400 words. They should
also contain contact information
the writers full name, address,
and phone number so that the
paper may confirm authorship.
Unsigned or anonymous letters
will not be printed under any cir-
cumstances.
The editorial staff of Unified
Newspaper Group reserves the
right to edit letters for length, clar-
ity and appropriateness. Letters
with libelous or obscene content
will not be printed.
Unified Newspaper Group gen-
erally only accepts letters from
writers with ties to our circulation
area.
All letters to the editor should
be of general public interest.
Letters that are strictly personal
lost pets, for example will not be
printed. Letters that recount per-
sonal experiences, good or bad,
with individual businesses will not
be printed unless there is an over-
whelming and compelling pub-
lic interest to do so. Letters that
urge readers to patronize specific
businesses or specific religious
faiths will not be printed, either.
Thank-you letters can be printed
under limited circumstances, pro-
vided they do not contain material
that should instead be placed as an
advertisement and reflect public,
rather than promotional interests.
Language, quotations, facts
and research that are contained
in a letter but come from another
source should be attributed. Pla-
giarized material will not be pub-
lished. Chain letters will not be
printed, nor will letters already
published in another newspaper or
magazine.
Uni f i ed Newspaper Gr oup
encourages lively public debate
on issues, but it reserves the right
to limit the number of exchanges
between individual letter writers
to ensure all writers have a chance
to have their voices heard.
This policy will be printed from
time to time in an abbreviated
form here and will be posted in its
entirety on our websites.

comfortable than dentures?

comfortable and cause fewer issues than dentures or
bridges. Stronger and more durable, implants ofer a
permanent solution to tooth loss and can be used with other
restorative procedures for maximum efectiveness. More people than ever
are candidates for cosmetic dental implants, nd out if youre a candidate.

Draft House looking for
worthy cause for donation
VICTORIA VLISIDES
Unied Newspaper Group
A Verona business is
seeking to help community
groups with donations it has
collected.
Mark Frankl i n of t he
Draft House Bar and Res-
taurant is looking to help
fund Verona-area organiza-
tions in need through funds
raised in their annual golf
outing fundraiser. Franklin
said they have $2,800 to
donate to groups in $200 to
$400 increments.
As long as its a Verona
cause, then were looking
to give this money away,
he told the Verona Press.
Thats why we raised it.
The annual golf fund-
raiser started six years ago
as a scholarship fund in
memory of a late customer,
Bill Benish. Since then,
the Draft House has con-
tributed to sports scholar-
shi ps i ncl udi ng hockey
and lacrosse, and paid for
LED score boards at a local
sports arena. They plan to
donate some of the money
the Verona Area Needs
Network, but still have a lot
to give away, Franklin said.
Organi zat i ons shoul d
contact Franklin at 444-
1073 to apply.
How to apply
What: Money donation,
$200-$400
Who can apply: Verona-
area groups and causes

The Verona Area High
School dance team will hold
its second WildKitten dance
camp fundrai ser of t he
school year this Saturday.
The camp offers a chance
for girls from kindergarten
through eighth grade inter-
ested in dance to learn from
the team, and helps cover the
teams expenses for the year.
The camp r uns f r om
12: 30-4: 30 p. m. i n t he

Girls will learn differ-
ent routines by age group

The camp will include
classic games with a dance
spin, such as Follow the
Leader and Red Light,
Green Light with dance

which helps to cover coach
Devan Blacklocks salary,
a high school club fee and
uniform costs, with the rest
going to the Childrens Hos-
pital. Girls at the camp will
receive a T-shirt and goody
bag for participating.
The team has held a simi-
lar fundraiser for the last

The Appendix
If you studied human anatomy twenty or thirty years ago,
you were probably taught that the appendix (or vermiform
appendixthe small wormlike pouch that hangs from
the cecum of the large intestine), was a useless structure,
perhaps some vestigial organ that served a purpose in our
long-distant past. I distinctly remember an argument some
thirty years ago between my father (who argued that it must
have some purpose) and my brother (who was in his first or
second year of medical school, and who argued that it had
none that could be discerned). My fathers argument was
based on his belief that God would not have created some-
thing without a purpose. He didnt necessarily know what
the purpose was, but there must be one. People do just fine
without one, my brother rejoined, and he asked, further-
more, what is the purpose of eyebrows? To keep sweat from
getting in your eyes was my fathers answer, and wouldnt
we look pretty strange without eyebrows? Medical science
now believes that the appendix is a repository for the good
bacteria that colonize our intestines and which aid in all
sorts of important functions, from digestion to our immune
system. So score one for Dad, and the view that to every-
thing under heaven there is indeed a purpose. We may not
always know that purpose but should trust to Providence
that there is one.
Christopher Simon via Metro News Service
The Lord has made everything for its purpose, even the
wicked for the day of trouble.

PRESCHOOL
Q. My children received an abundance of new toys for
Christmas. We need to make space but they dont want
to give away any of their old toys. What can we do?
A. Children are attached to certain toys and you may want to
keep ones that have sentimental value or strong attachments.
With very young children its often out of sight, out of mind
and you can discreetly weed out some lesser used toys for donation. As children get older, set
an example by regularly donating some of your own surplus clothing or household items and
show them how they can help others by passing items on to someone with more need. Allow
the children to sort items to donate and take them with you to see where the items are going.

Q. What are the biggest tax changes for 2013?
A. 1) For incomes above $200,000 (single) and $250,000 (married), salaries and
net investment income are hit with higher tax rates totaling 3.8% (salaries were
already subject to a 2.9% rate, so the increase is just 0.9%). 2) For incomes above
$250,000 (single) and $300,000 (married), deductions for personal exemptions
and itemized deductions begin to be phased out, adding about 1% for each phase-
out to your tax rate on incomes above those levels. 3) Everyone under 65 will
face a higher hurdle (10% vs. the previous 7.5%) for deducting medical expenses.
4) Joint Federal returns will be required for legally married same-sex couples.
Since Wisconsin hasnt adopted this change, separate returns will still need to be
led for Wisconsin.

Q. What is tooth decay?
A. Tooth decay is the destruction of healthy tooth structure. It occurs when the sticky
bacterial substance called plaque feeds off of the sugars and starches in the foods we eat.
The longer food sits on the teeth, the more food the bacteria consume. The more food
they eat, the more acid they give off. Its these acids that cause the breakdown of your
tooth. Decay starts off by slowly dissolving the minerals in the enamel shell of your
teeth. This breakdown can often be seen on your front teeth as white spots near the gum
line. As these spots break down further, they get softer and will often become darker in
appearance. X-rays allow us to see this process taking place in the areas of the teeth that

PHYSICAL THERAPY
Q. My podiatrist recommended Anodyne therapy for the treatment of my peripheral
neuropathy. Is this the same therapy that Stellar Rehabilitation can provide?
A. Yes. Stellar Rehabilitation does have an Anodyne unit and is the only outpatient
therapy provider in Verona that utilizes this therapy. Infrared light, produced by the
Anodyne unit, has proven helpful in the reduction of peripheral neuropathy (nerve
pain in the extremities), as well as in the treatment of a variety of other conditions,
including tendonitis, arthritis, tears in tissues and reduction of inammation.
Combining the benets of Anodyne therapy with additional treatment options
by skilled therapists at Stellar Rehabilitation can provide the best treatment
and recovery from the pain caused by peripheral neuropathy. Contact Stellar
Rehabilitation or view the website at www.stellarrehab.com to learn more about this
non-invasive treatment approach.

CHIROPRACTOR
Q. Is it bad to crack your own neck or back?
A: This question is often asked of chiropractors because people associate the self cracking
or popping of ones neck/back with a chiropractic adjustment.
When a vertebra in the spine becomes xated surrounding areas become hypermobile.
Cracking your own back may cause temporary relief but only moves the already hypermobile
joints. The popping noise you hear comes from a gas that releases from joint uid when
ligaments are stretched. The urge to keep repeating this occurs because you are not
correcting the xated vertebrae. Repetitive motions like this can cause soft tissue damage and
degenerative changes to the spine.
Chiropractors perform adjustments in a specic location, force and direction to correct the problem. With the proper
adjustments the need or desire to continually crack your own neck/back will subside.

REAL ESTATE
Q. When is the best time to put my home on the market?
A. If youve been thinking about selling your home, January or February could
be a great time to get it on the market. Inventory in our area is currently low,
and much of your competition is waiting until spring to list. While there are
generally fewer buyers during the winter, these buyers are usually more serious.
In addition, interest rates are still extremely low, but projected to rise. Attract
buyers now while rates and inventory are low!

HEATING/COOLING
Q. My furnace is not working. Is there anything I should do before calling for service?
A. First be sure that the thermostat is in the heat position and the temperature is set above
the indoor temperature. Next, check for power at the furnace by turning the fan switch (on the
thermostat) to the on position. If the furnace blower does not turn on, check the circuit breaker
for the furnace and the switch at the furnace, to ensure they are on. Also check the air filter to
ensure it is clean. If you have LP gas or oil heat, ensure that you have sufficient fuel. Some LP
gas furnaces have pressure switches that will not allow the furnace to run if the tank is low on
fuel. Even though the water heater sitting right next to the furnace lights and runs, the pressure
may be too low to allow the furnace to light. If you have a high efficiency gas furnace with
pvc vent pipes, be sure that the piping is clear of obstructions such as snow, birds or rodent
nests. Also look to see if there are any flashing diagnostic lights on your furnace. For all your
heating and air conditioning questions, contact Dave at OK Heating and Air Conditioning.

SENIOR CARE
Q. What are some ways to brighten my seniors spirits during the
holidays and all year long?
A. 1. Link Up With Like Minds: Senior groups plan activities like
exercise, meals, games and trips for seniors wanting to get out of the
house and expand their circle of friends. 2. Pick Up a Pen: Sending
holiday cards is a wonderful way to spark a new kind of relationship
between family members. 3. Get in the Game: Brainteasers, memory
games and mathematical puzzles are not only fun but can employ
areas of the brain that arent regularly stimulated. 5. Hire a Helping
Hand: If you are concerned about your loved one when the holiday season comes to a
close, discuss the possibility of hiring an in-home companion. Not only will this person
be able to help with basic chores and activities but the companion will be able to provide
much-needed social interaction for your loved one on a
daily, weekly or live-in basis.

ATTORNEYS
Q. Should I ask my Mom and Dad to cosign my house loan?
A. No! Every lawyer, banker and accountant can tell you horror stories about cosigned loans.
When a parent cosigns a loan on behalf of his or her son or daughter, the cosigner is responsible
for payment of the loan and all of the costs that the lender incurs to collect the loan. There
are many reasons not to ask someone to consign a loan for you. First, if you need someone to
cosign a loan, then you cannot afford it. Period. No exceptions. Second, it is not fair to your
parents. If you are unable to pay the loan for any reason, the lender will pursue your cosigner.
Your lender will not have to pursue you rst. The lender will not have to be "reasonable" and
give you more time to pay. As soon as you are delinquent, then the lender has the right to pursue
your cosigner. Third, it will negatively affect your parent's credit. The more debt your parents
are responsible for, the less money your parents can borrow for themselves when they may need it. Give your parents a
break. Don't even ask.

INVESTMENTS
Q. Can Investors Learn from Super Bowl Teams?
A. As an investor, you can learn some valuable lessons from many different sources including
the two teams playing in the Super Bowl in a few days. For starters, Super Bowl teams are good at
gaining yardage and crossing the goal line. As an investor, you need to choose those investments
that can provide you with the growth potential you need to move toward your own goals, such as
comfortable retirement. But Super Bowl teams also play good defense and so should you. You
can defend your portfolio against market volatility by owning a variety of investments, such as
stocks, bonds, government securities and certicates of deposit. A team that makes the Super Bowl
has overcome many obstacles through perseverance. As an investor, you, too, need to persevere
by staying invested through good and bad markets, recognizing investment risks and keeping your
focus on your long-term objectives. By incorporating some of the winning traits of a Super Bowl
team into your own investment strategy, youll be following a pretty good game plan.

INSURANCE
Q. What is an Ice Dam?
A. Ice dams usually occur after a heavy snowfall and several days of freezing temperatures. Warm air
inside your home leaks into the attic and will warm the underside of the roof causing snow and ice on the
roof to melt. The melted water will drain along the roof, under the snow, until it reaches the cold overhang.
The overhang tends to be at the same temperature as the outdoors and the melted water will refreeze and
form an ice dam and icicles. The ice dam can cause damage to the roof, which will result in water leaks to
the inside. Frequently the result will be a water spot on the ceiling under the roof damage. If you do see an
ice dam on your home, contact a local contractor to see if they can help remove the ice. This will save you
from filing a home insurance claim for water damage that could have been prevented.

Q. I would like to purchase/renance but Im not sure if I have too
much debt to qualify. What debts are used for calculating my

A. Your debt ratio includes any minimum payment listed on your credit
report. Those debts include mortgage(s), taxes and insurance on the property,
credit cards, student loans, personal loans, auto loans and any utility payment
plans. Several things are NOT included in the majority of loans such as child
care, cable bills, cell phone bills, and auto insurance payments. If you are
interested in prequalifying or would like a mortgage review, give me a call.

Q. We just moved into an existing home, when should we clean the duct work?
A. A.S.A.P. It never ceases to amaze me how many people will
get the carpet cleaned and not even consider their ductwork,
which is typically filthy. Most duct systems contain enough
sheet metal to completely enclose an average bedroom,
imagine one whole room in your house totally caked with pet
hair, grime and dirt. This will give you a great picture of what
the air you breathe has to pass through every single time your
furnace runs.

WINDOW FASHIONS & COVERINGS
Q. What should I do with an arched window?
A. If privacy isn't an issue for your arched window, you could
simply start your treatment below the arch by using a rod that
will work with your wall or moldings. Create drama and height
by hanging panels from a straight rod mounted high above the
arch. To dress the entire window and flatter its natural shape, use
a custom bent arched drapery rod installed just outside the upper
trim. For privacy, simply outfit the lower glass with sheer cafe
curtains or shutters.

VETERINARIAN
Q. What can I do to help keep my dogs feet and skin healthy during cold weather?
A. A dogs feet are especially prone to frost bite and to direct irritation from sidewalk salt. For dogs
that will wear them, booties do a good job of protecting the feet. You may also want to trim the hair
from between the toes of long-haired dogs to prevent accumulation of ice balls and salt crystals on the
feet. We recommend using a pet-friendly de-icer for your sidewalks. Also, wash off and towel dry
your dogs feet after taking walks outside. Some experts recommend massaging petroleum jelly into
paw pads before going outside and after you have cleaned and dried the paws to protect the skin from
cracking. If you see sores or redness on your dogs feet, contact your veterinarian immediately. It is
easy for your dogs skin to dry out during the winter, so be sure you encourage lots of water intake and
minimize bathing. Use a coat or sweater for your dog in cold temperatures to prevent hypothermia.
And minimize your pets time outdoors to prevent frostbite of the ears and tail tip. If you follow these
recommendations, you and your pet should have a comfortable winter.

Alt reinjures
ankle, return
questionable
JEREMY JONES
Sports Editor
Having yet to compete this
season due to a nagging ankle
injury, sophomore Lexi Alt
performed one vault Thurs-
day, reinjured the same ankle
and was done for the evening.
Despite failing to stick the
pike yurchenko landing, Alt
still managed to score a 9.00
Verona/Madison Edgewoods
lone victory in a 131.050-
119.550 Big Eight Confer-
ence loss due to the vaults
high degree of difficultly.
Lexi landed near the edge
of the landing mat, which
is unstable, co-head coach
Rachael Hauser said. Her
ankle rolled when she took a
step to save the landing, due
to the uneven height of the
mats.
Just how long the injury
sidelines Alt this time remains
up in the air.
It has been determined
that she has a severe ankle
sprain, which unfortunately
can be worse than a break or
a fracture in terms of recov-
ery time, Hauser said. We
are all hoping for the best, of
course, but theres a very real
possibility that she will not
be able to compete again this
year.
Fellow sophomore Mandy
Michuda, competing in her
second meet of the season,
finished third on vault with an
8.20.
Madison Wests Louisa
Forrest (33.80), Lauren God-
frey (32.50) and Claire Curley
(32.150) took the top three all-
around spots. Michuda was
the Wildcats top performer,
finishing fourth (31.350).
There was a very good
chance of us winning had
Lexi been able to compete

Wickstrom, McGilvray win
seven times at triple dual
JEREMY JONES

Erik Wickstrom and Kade McGil-
vray accounted for seven wins in the
final home meet of their careers Fri-
day.
Wickstrom had a hand in four of
Verona/Mount Horebs six wins,
while McGilvray was featured in
three in a Big Eight Conference dual
against ninth-ranked Middleton and
Beloit Memorial.
The Wildcats dunked Beloit 118-
52, but were unable to make any
headway against Middleton, falling
105-65 head-to-head.
We just dont have the depth Mid-
dleton has, V/MH head coach Bill
Wuerger said.
The Cardinals dropped Beloit 137-
33 to sweep the meet.
Veronas first varsity win game
four events into the meet when Wick-
strom posted a time of 2 minutes,
2.91 seconds to best the 200-meter
freestyle field by three-and-a-half
seconds. He later added the 400 free
by finishing two seconds ahead of
Middleton sophomore Jacob Aegerter
in 4:29.36.
McGilvray (25.12) also won the 50
free.
The teams only win not coming
from Wickstrom or McGilvray was
the 100 free where freshman Jacob
Wellnitzs time of 57.98 was good
enough for first place.
Wickstrom, McGilvray, Wellnitz
and sophomore Bryce Angaran were
all featured in the Wildcats 200 and
400 free relay victories, posting times
of 1:42.33 and 3:47.07, respectively.

Neither team led by more than four

Tied following the 500 free where
Cullen Meurer rallied in the last
length of the pool to touch out James
Cefalu for third place, the Wildcats
went on to squeak out an 87-83 win.
Cullen taking third (in the 500)
really swung the momentum in our
favor, Wuerger said.

game. Kellerman scored seven points in a 60-47 loss. Kellerman scored a combined 27 points in wins
over Janesville Parker and Madison East last Thursday and Saturday.
Offense stagnant in loss at West
ANTHONY IOZZO
Assistant sports editor
A 3-point play by junior forward Jake
Toman brought the Verona boys basketball
team within a bucket Tuesday at Madison
West, but that was close as the Wildcats
would get.
The offense just couldnt find a rhythm
in a 60-47 Big Eight Conference loss, head
coach Alan Buss said.
On the offensive end, we just did not
execute the things we talked about doing,
Buss said. ... All the stuff we talked about
good spacing, getting the ball moving, hard
cuts we didnt do for the first quarter and a
half, and that set the tone.
Tomans play made it 36-34 Verona (7-5
overall, 5-5 conference) with a minute left
in the third quarter, but Regents senior cen-
ter Logan Nytes was able to come right back
down the floor 11 seconds later for a 3-point
play of his own.
Then, in the fourth quarter, senior forward
Mitch Flora knocked in a bucket to make it a
3-point deficit before senior forward Malik
Clements took over for West (8-5, 6-3) with
nine straight points to put the game away.
Clements finished with 24 points.
The Wildcats were led by sophomore
guard Cole Schmitz with 16 points. Senior
forward John Tackett added 10, while junior
guard Will Kellerman scored seven.
Verona hosts Beloit Memorial at 7:30
p.m. Friday.
Verona 63, Parker 40
The Wildcats hosted Janesville Parker last
Thursday and pulled out a 63-40 win.
Verona ran out to a big lead with a 20-4
advantage in the second quarter and played
steady the rest of the way.

erman scored 12. Toman and Tackett each
added eight points.

Cats win twice to finish 3-2 at Verona Duals
ANTHONY IOZZO
Assistant sports editor
The Verona Area High School
wrestling team has never won the
annual Verona Area High School
Duals, and that trend continued last
Saturday in the 11th annual tourna-
ment.
But the real story for Verona was
that it was able to come back from a
1-2 record in pool play to finish strong
with two wins over Milwaukee Home-
stead, 45-30, and Monroe, 48-21.
The Wildcats won the first dual as
well, knocking off Portage 45-24. The
two losses came against Watertown,
36-31, and Lake Geneva Badger,
47-18.
Junior Eric Schmid (145 pounds)
and sophomore heavyweight Tray-
vonn Johnson both went 5-0 to lead
the Wildcats.
Schmid (28-2) defeated Jacob
Poches (Portage) 4-3. He also pinned
Steven Dublin (Badger) in 28 sec-
onds, Tyler Denmark (Homestead) in
42 seconds and Jared Amacher (Mon-
roe) in 1:18. The other win was a for-
feit.
Johnson (25-4) pinned Nick Kru-
ger (Portage) in 34 seconds and won
2-0 over Andrew Nugent (Badger).
Johnson also pinned Jacob Ruhkick
(Homestead) in 2:50 and had two for-
feit wins.
Senior Dakin Coons (182), sopho-
more Matt Waller (120) and freshman
Brandon Daniels (106) all were 4-1.
Coons (23-8) defeated David Rush-
er (Portage) 4-3, and he pinned James
Miller (Watertown) in 1:52. He wres-
tled up to 195 pounds to defeat Reg-
gie Kelly (Badger) 7-1, and he pinned
Miles Wolfram (Homestead) in 1:28.
The lone loss was a 7-6 defeat to
Traiten Gorr (Monroe).
Waller (26-5) had an 11-2 major
decision over Raul Sepelveda (Water-
town), and he had three forfeit wins.
Wallers lone loss was a 6-4 decision
to Alex Martinez (Badger).
Daniels (21-3) won 6-0 over Taylor
Foltz (Watertown), and he pinned Joe
Fischer (Homestead) at 113 pounds in
2:29. He added two forfeit wins.
The lone loss was a 2-0 decision to
George Somerville (Badger).
Junior Jackson Bryant (152) was
3-2 for Verona. He pinned Alex
Jerome (Portage) in 3:35, Conor
Scholtus (Homestead) in 1:55 and
Isaac Allen (Monroe) in 27 seconds.
Bryant is now 15-13 on the season.
Verona continues the season at 7
p.m. Thursday at Mukwonago and
then travels to Big Eight rival Janes-
ville Craig at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 21.

Third-ranked Verona saw
two games in conjunction

week in what head coach
Joel Marshall called a full
week of distractions.
With two games cancelled
and several players getting
over sickness, the Wildcats
(11-1-2 overall, 8-0-0 Big
Eight) had only two practic-
es and seven days between
games, losing their first
game of the season Satur-
day against the ninth-ranked
Waukesha Wings 3-1.
Needless to say, we got
out of the groove a little
bit, Marshall said.

Stevens score to cut the
lead in half near the midway
point of the third period.
One of the states top
scorers since his freshman
season, Waukesha senior
Zed Di et r i ch ( 11- 2- 1)
scored the go-ahead even-
strength goal in the second
period and assisted on the
second of two power-plays
by the Wings to ice the
game late in the third peri-
od.
We have played worse
and won games earlier this
season, Marshall said.
Thats not possible against
good teams, especially in
playoffs.
Hopefully we can use
this loss as a little mid-sea-
son reminder we need to
improve everyday.
Verona sophomore goal-
t ender Al ex Jones got
the start in net, turning
in 10 saves over 34 min-
utes before Verona opted
to change things up with
Nat han Cl eghorn (four
saves) to start the third peri-
od.
We put Cl eghorn i n
for the third to get a little
change of pace on our side,
Marshall said. The last
couple years we came from
behind to beat Waukesha
so we were confident going
into the third.
Meanwhile, senior Jake
Kupsky turned aside 23 of
24 Verona shots on goal.
Waukesha i s a good
team, with one of the states
best forwards and goalten-
der, Marshall said. We
allowed both of those play-
ers to have a good game.
We have struggled to
score at will this season and
being down against a good
goaltender is an even bigger
challenge.

coats, they throw them in
a box and nobody knows
what happens to them, its
researching, Why do kids
not have jackets? he said.
Its within your school, it
can be within your commu-
nity, and it can be within
t he gl obal communi t y,
so we wanted to push the
global piece.
The concept has been
bolstered this year with an
Innovation Grant from the
school district, money the
school board has put toward
innovative and new ideas
from teachers around the
district. The grants totaled
just over $80,000 for nine
projects last year, the sec-
ond year of grants, includ-
ing five programs aimed at
building community within
the schools, in the Verona
community and worldwide.
The money for CKCS
bought books that focused
on how to ensure students
learn from the projects
and included a few proj-
ect ideas, Stousland said,
and will also fund a trip
to Washington, D.C., for
a group of students and
teachers to attend a confer-
ence on service learning.
Other projects include a
blood drive, sending school
supplies to Uganda, gather-
ing toiletries for homeless
children and many others
planned for the schools Ser-
vice Learning Day in May.
Verona Area High School
technology coordinator Rita
Mortenson, who has applied
for and been awarded more
grants than anyone else in the
district, said the grants offer
a chance to think differently
and show the community at
large the value students bring.
Its a great way to coor-
dinate with other people
and give you a reason to
reach out , Mort enson
said. It lets you think out-
side the box in terms of the
community at large.
Reaching parents
Glacier Edge Elemen-
tary School counselor Jenny
Schultz and her colleagues
were looking for a way to
make the entire student
body and their families feel
part of the school communi-
ty, even though around half
of the schools students bus
in from near Fitchburg.
We have kids living
in two distinctly differ-
ent communities, and the
community thats near the
school, (informal) contact
is a little more easily built
in, she said, noting that
parents who pick up their
kids or can just swing by
the school to ask a teacher
a question. But for kiddos
who take the bus, that con-
nectivity is just a little bit
different they dont have
that built in opportunity to
ask that quick question.
So the GE group cre-
ated Teaching and Reach-
ing Every Area (TAREA),
funded by a federal grant
and private donations, after
spending a spring break
going around to families
in the Nakoma Heights
neighborhood off Verona
Road and receiving feed-
back on some of their ideas.
When the grant money
ran out after year one and
private donations only cov-
ered year two, they needed
another funding source.
Thats where the innova-
tion grant came in, and the
program has been funded in
both rounds of grants so far
for $12,000 total.
The program consists
of an hour each week of
homework club at the
Nakoma Heights apartment
building and a three-day-
per-week reading interven-
tion program for a dozen
students that work with
University of Wisconsin-
Madison graduate students.
It also offers a parent
group, many of whom are
Spanish-speakers, called
Word of Mouth that dis-
cusses school issues such as
course enrollment and GPA
that some parents are unfa-
miliar with.
Stoner Prairie counselor
Sarah Holzum saw the suc-
cess of TAREA and thought
a collaboration with the pro-
gram could help cut down
on her students reading
skills loss over the sum-
mer. She applied for a grant
to fund the Learn Acad-
emy, a program similar
to TAREA in location and
purpose, but focused on a
group of 20 students who
data had shown had lost
reading skills between the
past spring and fall.
The program helped all
but three students either
remain at or increase their
reading level last summer,
which Holzum said was
awesome, and took place
at night so parents could
come, as well. The program
also supplied each student
with a mentor from the
school staff, and she hopes
that component will contin-
ue into future years, along
with increased collabora-
tion between Stoner Prairie
and Glacier Edge.
Building a peer group
Anot her gr ant bei ng
funded this year focuses on
cultural outreach.
Country View Elementary
School associate principal
Mary Moroder wanted to
find a way to emphasize
leadership and education to
the schools African-Ameri-
can male students.
So she applied for a grant
to create a program for the
schools nine fourth- and
fifth-grade African-Amer-
ican boys that would allow
those students to see positive
role models from the Afri-
can-American community,
both historical and current,
and discuss issues surround-
ing their cultures history.
Its been an opportunity
in my mind for the boys
to talk about it with their
shared culture and experi-
ence, she said. We want
these boys to bond as kind
of a cohort group that they
can encourage each other
so they have that as a
group movi ng ont o t he
mi ddl e school , movi ng
onto the high school.
The group meets once a
week during lunch or recess
times, and learns about his-
torical figures such as Har-
riet Tubman, Ruby Bridges
and Nelson Mandela, often
with follow-up discussions
of racism, education or how
students can impact the
worlds even at a young age.
Mandela was the groups
first lesson of the year, and
when he died in late 2013,
group leader Tory Winn
brought in nine copies of
USA Today newspapers
with Mandela on the front,
telling the students they
were part of history and
should hold onto them as
long as they could.
They thought that was
so cool, Moroder said.
Winn, a graduate student
at the UW-Madison and a
consultant for the Race to
Equity project who has met
two presidents, was brought
in to plan lessons for the
students and give them an
older African-American
male to look up to.
Two high school students
in the Multicultural Student
Achievements Network,
Jermero Menton and Ter-
rell Jones, also visit the
group regularly, sharing
their experiences in Vero-
na schools, both academic
and social, and serving as
more role models for the
younger group. Winn said
he looks for opportunities
to bring lessons back for
the students wherever he
goes, and he enjoys seeing
the boys learn about what
people in their culture have
done throughout history
and expanding their under-
standing beyond Verona.
They dont have to think
about LeBron James as their
only cultural capital, Winn
said. Schools should be a
place of academic enrich-
ment as well as cultural
enrichment. Their world is
becoming more than just
their local neighborhood.
Using students skills
Still, some of the com-
munity outreach is closer to
home.
Mor t enson, t he hi gh
school technology coordi-
nator, recognized current
students technology skills
were something commu-
nity members might value,
if only they had a way to
share those skills.
So she proposed creat-
ing a group that would
go to the Verona Senior
Center and Verona Public
Library to hold intergenera-
tional trainings on iPad and
Google Chromebook use.
The group, co-run by
VAHS l i brari an Teresa
Voss, held 10 sessions in
the fall, and Mortenson said
they were well-received,
with many seniors asking
for more.
The group also presented
at a conference about their
work, that trip being what
much of the grant money
went toward. Mortenson
hopes to build on the pro-
gram with more sessions in
the spring.
When you think of, with
student talent, weve done
(10) free workshops for
the community and many
of them have filled right
away, she said. The stu-
dents feel really great about
it; the seniors just love it.

ley, Dennis Beres, Ken Behnke, Joanne

at the Board meeting for outstanding
achievement.
Dominic Williams, Kelsy Grant,
Myah Turner, Bailey Felsheim, Kaden
Kittleson and Lauren Hoffman were pre-
sented certifcates from Michelle Num-
merdor.
Audience Portion There was no

that Calvin Terrell would be speaking at
the PAC tonight. Calvin spent the day at
the middle school and will be returning
on Tuesday to work with a select group
of students.
Amy announced that the innovation
practice presentation would take place

BOARD BUSINESS
Consider approval of minutes Mo-
tion (Zook) second (Porter) to approve
the minutes from the October 7, 2013
Board Meeting with the noted changes.
Motion carried (7-0).
Consider action on new Board
Policy 363.4, Mobile Devices Student
Use of District-Owned Mobile Devices
and Exhibit 363.4, User Agreement for
Student Use of District-Owned - Betty
attended to briefy follow-up and dis-
cuss establishing a new Board policy
allowing students to take home district
owned mobile devices. Betty thanked
the Board for their feedback from the
last meeting, specifcally the discussion
of the damage waiver fee and establish-
ing clear and concise expectations be-
tween parents/guardians, students and
the district. Some comments / concerns
from the Board ranged from parent ac-
knowledgement of device coming home
and setting up a procedure to ensure
parents know about and grant permis-
sion for the device to come home, who
will manage the devices, fee collection
and data management and damage
waiver protection of the devices. Betty
suggested that the company, One-to
One provide management services
similar to the way they manage other
districts. The Board discussed estab-
lishing a small damage waiver fee, pos-
sibly $20, a deductible and starting with
a trial run with the Exploration Academy
students and possibly applicable spe-
cial education students; although the
policy is applicable to all schools in the
district. The Board requested that Betty
report back to them in 3 months or if any
substantial issue(s) arise that need to
be addressed. Motion (Behnke) second
(Zook) to approve Board Policy 363.4,
Mobile Devices Student Use of District-
Owned Mobile Devices.
Motion carried (7-0).
Consider action on fnal 2013-
2014 budget Chris Murphy attended
to discuss the 2013-2014 budget. Chris
proposed that the Board vote to table
this action until November 4th given the
newly passed bill that put more money
into state aid for schools has changed
the time frame DPI has to provide us
with the necessary information to deter-
mine our tax levy and mill rate. (please
note this is not additional revenue for
districts as the revenue cap amount
does not change, its more state aid
which will lower the amount we need
to collect from local tax payers thereby
reducing property owners property tax
bills). Motion (Gauthier) second (Porter)
to table this action until the November
4th Board meeting. Motion carried (7-0).
Consider action on certifcation of
2013 - 2014 tax levy Chris proposed
that the Board vote to table this action
until the next Board meeting. Motion
(Gauthier) second (Porter) to table this
action until the November 4th Board
meeting. Motion carried (7-0).
Consider action on 2014-2015 bud-
get calendar Chris Murphy briefy dis-
cussed the 2014 - 2015 budget calendar.
The calendar is the same as it has been
previous years with most of the main
steps remaining. The only change this
year may be waiting a little longer this
year on enrollment projections. The UW
Applied Population Lab has to wait to
early December to get 2010 census up-
dates which will help make projections
much more accurate. Motion (Zook) sec-
ond (Almond) to approve the 2014 - 2015
budget calendar as presented. Motion
carried (7-0).
SUPERINTENDENTS REPORT
3RD Friday enrollment summary
Dean briefy discussed the 3rd Friday
open enrollment information provided
in the Board packet, which includes
historical data going back to September
2005. Inclusive of the Pre-K and early
childhood, there are 5,440 students at-
tending VASD; a change of 124 students
form the previous year. Dean added the
most notable is the bump in the middle
schools and that bump occurred without
taking any 6th grade open enrollment
students.
Dean also discussed the resident
students. That number also includes
students that reside in our district but
open enroll out. As of September 2013
there are 5,291 resident students, which
is a change of 151 students from last
year. That represents an increase of 95
students over what was projected. It is
the second year in a role that the district
has seen triple digit resident student
enrollment increases. Dean noted that
although we are up 151 students it does
not mean it is 151 FTE because the Pre-
K and early childhood do not count as
a full FTE.
3rd Friday open enrollment (in and
out summary) Dean again briefy dis-
cussed 3rd Friday open enrollment in-
formation provided in the Board packet.
This fuctuates daily but usually settles
in by the 3rd Friday. Included are incom-
ing open enrollment and outgoing open
enrollment students. This year there are
193 continuing students and 64 new stu-
dents incoming. There are 65 new out-
going (50 of those have never attended
VASD). The majority of students going
out are going to Madison and major-
ity coming in are from Madison. Dean
thanked Marcia Byrd for continuously
updating and keeping the Board in-
formed of the open enrollment numbers.
Set date for the Board work session
Dean discussed setting up a work ses-
sion for The Board decided on Saturday,
December 7th at 12:30 p.m.
Reminder of WASB Dean re-
minded the Board about the WASB con-
vention in January in Milwaukee. Dean
extended an invite to Board members;
anyone interested in attending that re-
quires hotel accommodations may con-
tact Pertrona.
PERSONNEL ITEMS
Consider approval of teaching
contracts Motion (Gauthier) second
(Behnke) to approve the teaching con-
tract for Matthew Emery. Motion carried
(7-0)
FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS / MEET-
ING DATES - Denny reviewed the future
meeting dates.
COMMITTEE REPORTS
Building, Grounds and Transporta-
tion Committee Amy reported that the
committee has not met.
Finance Committee Renee report-
ed that the committee will met at 6:30
p.m. The items discussed were those
Chris reported on earlier in the meeting.
Motion (Zook) second (McCulley)
to approve payment of the bills in the
amount of $3,425,797.41. Motion carried
(7-0).
Personnel Committee Ken Behn-
ke reported that the committee met on
October 11th. Ken, Dean and Jason
briefy discussed the Parent Outreach
position. The committee decided that
it was best that the position would be
LTE instead of a contract position. The
individual selected is also an employee
at Country View and it could lead to pos-
sible confict with the IRS to have the in-
dividual as a wage earner from an entity
also receive a 1099 as a contractor. This
position is a one-year position funded
through one-time money through the
4-K grant.
Ken and Dean reported on the
discussion of Mary Moroders position
from a half bargaining unit, half super-
visory position into an entirely super-
visory position. Mary has been in this
hybrid position for several years where
she was a VAEA member as the special
ed. coordinator and half time associate
principal at CV. Mary is not able to do
evaluations of certifed staff because
she is also a member of the bargaining
unit. The committee would like to roll her
into a position very similar to Jim Ruder
at New Century so that she may do eval-
uations, which will help with Educator
Effectiveness coming up. A pay sched-
ule is still being worked out however the
committee did endorse the concept.
The committee also discussed the
workload of the district security position
of Todd Endl. Todd has been working on
call for the district for four years, work-
ing with each building to do tabletops.
As the district focuses on security is-
sues, it is important to have Todd here
on a more predictable basis, approxi-
mately 2 days a week and assist with
more advanced work. Jason anticipates
this would be an additional $13,000 on
top of Todds current pay.
Ken gave a brief update on the dis-
tricts health insurance change to WEA
Trust from Physicians Plus insurance as
of November 1, 2013. Dean added that
WEA would continue making rounds to
sites this week to answer any questions
or concerns.
Ken reported that there are few
event supervisor and coordinator posi-
tions that are diffcult to fnd people to
work. The committee is recommending
an increase of wages for those select
positions. Jason added that this year
that have been diffculties getting subs;
as a result, surrounding districts have
increased their daily rate. The commit-
tee is recommending to increasing the
sub rate to from $102 to $112, slightly
above average, to keep the district com-
petitive with surrounding districts. Pro-
jected impact will be about $70,000 but
with projected growth and enrollment
the committee feels that the district
can handle the additional cost. Motion
(Behnke) second (Gauthier) to approve
the part time and miscellaneous wage
rates as of October 21, 2013. Motion car-
ried (7-0).
IDAC Committee Denny reported
that the IDAC committee met this morn-
ing at 8 a.m. Chris gave a budget up-
date, the same as was presented to the
Board. Tony Roach attended from Fitch-
burg and update the committee on the
citys increased budget and equalized
value. The city has almost completed
the North Stoner Prairie plan, which
Dean and Chris have participated in the
crafting of. TID 6 has been approved,
which Renee had impact on. Bill Burns
attended for the City of Verona and pro-
vided an update on residential permits
and future neighborhood and housing
plans, possible tax increases, staffng
the frehouse all night. The library and
public works have also requested in-
creased personnel. Denny also noted
that the Downtown planning committee
will have a public hearing tonight at the
senior center. TIF 7 is still on schedule
for closure on 2015. Epic will also begin
construction on a new campus.
Karl Curtis from the Chamber at-
tended and updated the committee on
chamber business that includes money
raised and legislature information. They
are looking to increase their marketing
presence. The Chamber is also helping
with the Grand Opening of Discount
Auto Parts and the brewery. Amanda Ar-
nold from the Town of Verona attended
to update the committee on housing,
future growth and budget. The Town of
Verona added 9 new homes, which is
signifcant for the Town. The Town is
also in talks with the cities of Verona
and Fitchburg regarding future develop-
ment. George Hagenauer attended for
the City of Springdale and updated the
committee on 2 new houses and fnan-
cial loses.
Denny also reported that the next
IDAC meeting will be January 13, 2014.
ADJOURN to closed session Mo-
tion (Gauthier) second (Zook) to adjourn
at 8:46 p.m. to closed session per WI
Statute 19.85 (1)(c) and (e) for the pur-
pose of discussing base wages for
employees in VESPA. Roll call to vote:

Culley-Yes. Motion carried (7-0).

Consider action on fnal 2013-2014

intersection and the Town of
Verona looking to find areas
where it can develop without
getting in the citys way, the
council is turning its atten-
tion to its northern border with
Madison.
The council plans to dis-
cuss three main items at next
weeks meeting, but all are
interrelated.
One of the big questions
remains what is going to hap-
pen with the M and PD inter-
section and the access off of
it, city administrator Bill
Burns told the Verona Press
last week.
Before anything else can
really be planned, Verona and
Madison need to get a sense
of what might happen there.
Because its quite possible that
two-lane roundabout that has
been in the works might not
handle the growth in traffic
created by Epics expansion
and area development.
Could that mean a three-
lane roundabout something
that doesnt even exist in
Dane County or a massive
signalized intersection or even
a grade-separated jug handle-
type intersection like at Min-
eral Point? Any of those would
be complicated with the pond,
golf course and substation
on the corner, so the corner
Verona is trying to develop
likely will have to make some
accommodations.
Once that is figured out, the
two cities can take a look at
their archaic agreement to set
a 300-foot buffer on either side
of County PD as a clear delin-
eation between the two cities.
While theres still interest in
making sure its obvious when
people leave one city and enter
the next, a bland green space
might not be the answer.
And once theres agreement
on a revision to that contract,
the city can begin working out
details for the North Neighbor-
hood Plan.
From a staff level, we dont
want to wait on the North
Neighborhood Plan until we
have all these things (settled),
Burns said. (But) you cant
finalize one piece until you
know a little bit more about
the others.
Conceptually, the city and
developers have been looking
at a mixture of homes, apart-
ments and businesses there,
including the possibility of a
senior housing development.
With the city starting to run out
of space for new homes and
expansion requests through the
Capital Area Regional Plan-
ning Commission a time-con-
suming process, planning for
this area is becoming increas-
ingly more urgent.
Burns also said that while
the city is working out agree-
ments with Madison, it will
also discuss a request from the
Town of Verona to consider
a boundary agreement that
would allow the town more
flexibility in its growth. The
town doesnt have much lever-
age in such negotiations, but
the citys 2008 extraterritorial
jurisdiction ordinance (as well
as Madisons and Fitchburgs)
has choked off the ability for
the town to do much of any-
thing other than break off
small pieces of large farms.
Town planner/administra-
tor Amanda Arnold said the
Town Board likely be looking
for modest permissions for
growth in areas not likely to be
served by the city in the future.
That could mean, for example,
areas west of the Sugar River
or south of Sunset Drive and
cul-de-sacs where houses are
on one side of the road and not
the other.
Arnold explained that none
of this has been determined
in the towns comprehensive
plan yet, but if the city signs
off, it could attempt to amend
its own plans and then try to
get permission from the coun-
ty to remove areas from its
restrictive farmland preserva-
tion ordinance.
The key to this for the town
is were coming into this with
an open mind, Arnold said.
From the citys perspective,
all of these issues are in the
early stages, and the important
thing is making sure alders are
in agreement with the concepts
before the staff gets down to
details.
Were not going to solve
all those issues at the meet-
ing, but its important to get a
start, Burns said.
Council: M/PD intersection will determine many options

Elementary school open houses
The Verona Area School District is trying a new
strategy to explain choices to parents of incoming
kindergarteners this year.
Rather than the traditional parent information
meeting held in early January, the district and its
elementary schools produced a DVD with pieces of
information about each school that was sent to the
home of every incoming kindergartener the district
knew about. It will be available online.
To supplement the information, schools are hold-
ing open houses and tours of 45 minutes to an hour.
Some school staff members will be present.
Core Knowledge Charter School, New Century
School and Verona Area International School will
hold a joint informational meeting from 6-7 p.m.,
Wednesday, Jan. 22, at the Boys and Girls Club,
and each school will hold individual open houses.
Parents must request their placement choice by
returning the choice form by Feb. 14.

Wait a second
Above, prizefighter Joe Pendleton is surprised at how easily he can
forge the signature of the man whose body hes temporarily inhab-
iting during the Verona Area Community Theater presentation of
Heaven Can Wait. Pendleton, who was inadvertently taken before
his time, meanwhile gets the help of angels (including Mr. Jordan, at
his right, David Lonsdorf) who are trying to find a new body for him.
Right, Mrs. Ames looks on disapprovingly as Julia Farnsworth (Sara
Pfantz) challenges her husband, whom she thought she and his sec-
retary had killed.
Pendletons manager, Max Levene (Bob Breen), realizes they
can take his new body, that of amoral millionaire banker Bruce
Farnsworth, for all its worth, but Pendleton still wants to fulfill his
destiny as heavyweight champion.
