The citys new 500,000-gallon reservoir and 2,300-gallon-per-minute well on Epics property are not as noticeable as the citys last major improvement the North Zone water tower. The entrance to the pump house is at right, and it sits 368 feet atop the well and 1,500 feet above the reservoir. At left is a new electrical substation that brings electricity from the wind turbines, and at top is an 18-acre solar field.

Newest reservoir, well are easy to miss: Theyre underground

When Verona erected its North Zone water tower two years ago, it was the subject of constant questions and curiosity. But the citys newest reservoir and accompanying well have managed to go under the communitys radar during its construction, despite costing more than twice as much. Chances are, most people dont even know its been operating for more than two months. Thats because its all underground and tucked away on Epics campus, not far from County Highway PD. The reservoir, which went on line Aug. 20, has been in the planning for two years, Verona public works director Ron Rieder said, and drilling for the 500,000-gallon tank, which sits 1,500 feet underground with a well 1,132 feet above it, began around October of last year. Although it had only been two years since the city nearly doubled its storage capacity with a third

Though an unusually large audience of about 25 lingered into the Common Council meeting Monday after the official presentation of the citys budget, alders saved most of their commentary on the contentious issue of taxation for next weeks working session. They had plenty to say, however, about a plan to build more than 200 multifamily units in the Prairie Oaks subdivision on the north side of the city. Somewhat strangely for this group, the issue united people of differing philosophies, drawing unanimous support despite some misgivings. One alder didnt like how it would hog most of the citys allocation of apartment units for the next couple years. Another disliked the idea of building more apartments

A 26-year-old worker was rescued after a nearly three-story fall at Epics campus Monday. Verona Fire Department assistant chief Melissa Helgesen told the Verona Press crews were called to the campus around 1:20 p.m. after receiving a page

from 911 Dispatch about a 26-year-old woman who fell into a utility vault. Helgesen said the woman was extracted using a basket and rope system attached to the departments aerial ladder truck. Helegesen cited privacy issues when asked about the

type of injury and the condition of the victim. According to a report in the Wisconsin State Journal , the woman was an electrical subcontractor employee who was working to install part of a geothermal system. She was climbing down a ladder when she

fell about 31 feet into the concrete vault. The woman was taken via Madison Fire Department ambulance to UW Hospital. She was extracted around 2 p.m. and the crews returned to the station around 2:30 p.m., Helgesen said. Mark Ignatowski

Letter details lunchroom chemical mix-up

Parents of Savanna Oaks Middle School students received a letter last Wednesday detailing a cafeteria mix up involving glass cleaner. The letter stated three pans full of marinara sauce had been inadvertently prepped with a glass cleaner instead of a non-stick cooking spray. First through fourth graders from Verona Area International School as well as sixth graders at SOMS were potentially exposed to a dose that was unlikely to cause any problems, poison control said, according to the letter. The chemical was Zep 40, a glass-cleaning agent. Verona Area School District superintendent Dean Gorrell and SOMS principal Steve Penne signed the original letter and also sent out a follow-up letter Nov. 8 outlining a review process the school had undergone. The letter said they could not determine, after an exhaustive investigation, what happened Wednesday that caused the error, although it did say the final step of diligence in the process, which involves the food preparer verifying the substance to be used in preparation, did not occur. The letter also said the school and district reviewed the schools Hazardous Analysis and Critical Control Plan, which is required by the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture. Based on this review we believe the SOMS kitchen, with the exception of this one event, is and has been in compliance, the letter said. Going forward, the letter said the school will also implement other safety precautions, including labeling cleaning products with the name of the employee responsible for their whereabouts, requiring a visual confirmation of sprays used in the food preparation process and further controlling access to the schools kitchen areas.

Town of Springdale resident and former physician Gene Farley, a long-time advocate for universal health care and founder of a local social justice center and Dane Countys only green cemetery, died last Friday. He was 86. Viewed as a pioneer in family medicine, Farley and his wife, Linda, moved to Springdale in 1982 when Gene was hired to chair the UW-Madison Medical Schools department of family medicine. Farley died at Meriter Hospital due to a heart condition that had required surgery in October, said Kevin Corrado, a facilitator at the Linda and Gene Farley Center for Peace, Justice and Sustainability, which was founded inside Farleys home in 2009. Farleys death dealt an emotional blow to the center and sanctuary, but both are poised to carry on his legacy, Corrado said. The Farleys and their four sons helped build their extraordinary twostory, hexagonal home on 43 acres in Springdale in 1982. Just before her death from cancer in 2009, Linda had asked if she could be buried on their land. After getting approval from state and local officials, the family was able to do so. That launched an effort to create the Natural Path Sanctuary, which officially opened in 2011. The

In 2012, the Verona Press detailed the purpose of the Farley Center for Peace, Justice and Sustainability just outside the Town of Verona. At left are Kevin and Susan Corrado, who moved in with Farley (right) to help run the operation.

25-acre burial ground is unique in Dane County, as it forbids the embalming of bodies, non-biodegradable caskets and concrete vaults or tombstones. Shortly after Lindas death, Farley and other volunteers also launched the center that bears the couples name. The center facilitates programs to help low-income families grow produce to sell at farmers markets, hosts meetings for social justice groups and organizes educational workshops. A native of Pennsylvania, Farley was buried Sunday inside the sanctuary, not far from his wife and near an outdoor metal sculpture titled Dancing that he built after his 1992 retirement from the UW,

Corrado said. Gene and Lindas sons are all still involved with oversight of the center and sanctuary. Both entities will continue to operate from the Farley home, where Corrado and his wife, Susan Corrado, live. The Farleys land was officially deeded to the center last year. A formal dedication of the property to the center last August gave (Gene) a sense of completion, I think, that the center would thrive after his death, Corrado said. During their 54 years of marriage, the Farleys cared for the uninsured in urban and rural areas, worked on a Navajo reservation, trained nurses in Jamaica and continuously

Library requests would affect other services

I believe the library is a wonderful asset and I greatly appreciate all the staff has been able to accomplish. I also recognize that all of our departments have a positive impact on the quality of life we all share. Resources are limited for many people here and taxes for all of the citys functions are generated by those people. While the idea of Sunday operations for the library may seem appealing, it is not with- McGilvray out a significant and stifling cost. The Librarys budget proposal, whether funded partially over the next several years or entirely this year, will undoubtedly affect our ability to maintain levels of service across the board. Verona has typically added between 1 and 2 employees per year in an effort to address the demand on services made by a growing municipality. The librarys proposal would effectively eliminate our ability to make those adjustments for the next 4-5 years. I am concerned that the city may begin down a path that would hamper our ability to address the needs we know exist with our seniors, our fire, police and public works departments as well as those demands being made on our parks and recreation departments. The city has taken on $9.4 million dollars in debt and debt service in support of the library since 2006. Of the roughly $38 million dollars of outstanding debt currently held by the city, $4.9 million or 12.8 percent of all the citys debt is encumbered on behalf of the library. The average Verona homeowner pays $100 a year to support that library debt. In an effort to help the library gain better use of its staff and their professional skills the city invested an additional $260,000 in self check in/out RFID equipment. Since 2007 the citys contribution to the operational budget each year has averaged over $600,000. The individual homeowner pays roughly $140 a year in support of this operational budget. This new proposal would push that cost to over $1.1 million per year. That is a 70 percent increase in just the citys portion of the operational budget and equates to an estimated increase of $100 for the average taxpayer with a home valued at $272,000. The average homeowners library portion of the tax bill would jump to $340. The library staff currently has 15.26 FTE (full time equivalents) positions. The second largest in the city. The proposed staffing increase would bring them to nearly 25 employees. The police have 24.75 and they operate 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. Public works, which is responsible for all our roads, water and sewer systems, has 13. Under this budget cycle they are requesting an increase of one employee. The first since 2006 and it is very much needed. If you have opinions I would encourage you to reach out to your alders and make your thoughts known. In addition, I would ask that you share your thoughts with verybody loves a great your friends and neighbors. The party, right? Its a time to council needs their input. This gather with friends and budget cycle has much broader implications than simply the strangers alike and celebrate the good times that come our way. library and its proposed budget.

Community Voices

Its no sin to share a good celebration

surprise, I ran into a married couple that I havent seen in probably 10 years. We talked about what our kids are doing these days and caught up on old times. Its amazing how a 10-minute conversation can cover an entire decade of living life as if the friendship never went on hiatus. They even said they would like to visit the Church in Verona sometime. Note to self: Keep in touch with people. The point of this is that sometimes I think we get so caught up in the negative news cycle, we forget that God created us to worship Him and enjoy the life He has given us. Yes, God loves a good celebration even in the midst of the daily reminders we receive from our various news sources or from our own experiences that we live in a broken world. King Solomon summed up the seasons of life that we all go through and the contrast between the good times and the bad when he wrote these words in Ecclesiastes 3:4: There is a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance. Indeed, the human experience covers the full gamut of emotions over a lifetime. But when there are opportunities to laugh and to dance as a community, we should do so with the full assurance that God is pleased to celebrate with us. He is not only there to wipe every tear from our eyes (Revelation 21:14) but to have a feast and celebrate (Luke 15:23). In fact, Jesus first miracle was performed while He was attending a wedding reception with His mother Mary and His disciples. Jesus turned water into a very fine wine so the hosts of the party would not be embarrassed by running out of wine for their guests (see Johns Gospel-chapter 2 for the details). The interesting thing about Jesus presence at the wedding reception is not so much His ability to keep the wine flowing but His response to a community event. In the first century, wedding receptions were an open invitation to the entire town, much like the Honor Flight celebration and the inaugural Wisconsin Brewing Company open house. Everyone is invited to come and go as you please. Jesus attended events like the wedding reception in Cana because that is where the people were gathered. Jesus wanted to be with the people because His mission was to seek and save the lost. (Luke 19:10). He knew that separating Himself and His disciples from the everyday lives of the people He came to serve would not be very productive. The same holds true today for those who call themselves followers of Jesus. We need to be out in the community with all the people Jesus deeply cares for and share in the celebrations (and sorrows) of our neighbors. Jesus used the word picture of yeast when He talked about the Kingdom of God. Speaking rhetorically, Jesus asks and answers His own question: What else is the Kingdom of God like? It is like the yeast a woman used in making bread. Even though she put in only a little yeast in three measures of flour, it permeated every part of the dough. We can only be the yeast in the community if we are active in the life of the community. Even a little yeast can go a long way when Jesus is in charge of making and breaking bread as a community meal. All this talk about yeast is making me thirsty for a glass of Wisconsin Brewing Companys American IPA! Lets get together for one sometime in the near future and celebrate all the good times God has given us. Mike Peters is pastor of The Church in Verona.

He was only joking, of course. A few weeks ago, VAHS Director of Theatre Steve Nibbe was purely jesting when he told a colleague hed just gotten word the school was selected to perform its recent musical, Spamalot at the state high school theatre festival. He got a bit of a dirty look. Then the next day, he got the phone call. They said, We had some problems with communications, we need a show for the festival, would you consider bringing in Spamalot? Nibbe said. While performing at a state competition would certainly be an honor, Nibbe first had to see if the cast and crew would be available on such late notice. And then there was the matter of re-renting everything they used for the production, One bonus for the school is that instead of getting trucks to haul everything back and forth from the event sites in Waunakee and Middleton (Nibbe said the shows are usually in Stevens Point or Whitewater),

they were able to hold the performance at Verona High School. Well just do it on our stage and bring everybody here, he said. To serve the dual purpose of giving the students a warm-up show before the festival starts Nov. 23 (it has been several weeks since they last performed Spamalot) and giving people another chance to see it, Nibbe scheduled a public dress rehearsal for

7 p.m., Friday, Nov. 22, at the VAHS Performing Arts Center. Ticketswill be available at the doorfor $10 for general admission and $5 for students. Nibbe said the extra showing would ensure people got a chance to see it if the Saturday show is crowded. We only have 700 seats, and well do two shows on Saturday for about 1,200 kids from across the state at 4 and 8 p.m., he said.

It might not be possible to accommodate everyone, so why not offer an opportunity to see it on Friday night? VAHS has been chosen before to participate in the festival, but never as such a late addition. Nibbe said usually two schools are selected to be showcased at the event, but the delayed notice is going to end up costing the school. We had special costumes rented from New

York, custom armor we rented, microphones, new materials purchased, and the list goes on and on with expenses associated with doing a production, he said. We can still use our set and props we acquired at least we dont have the cost to rent trucks to transport the equipment somewhere. The school will receive a small stipend for its efforts, but nowhere what we would need to recoup the costs. Nibbe said he hopes some community members will step up to provide some financial assistance. If there is some angel out there who would love to sponsor us, we would be eternally grateful, he said. Weve been invited to present at the state festival, and its an honor, but unfortunately there is also a cost associated with that. For more information on the show, or to donate, call Nibbe at 845-4489 or email him at nibbes@verona.k12. wi.us.

Historical society to talk country schools

The Verona Area Historical Societys next meeting will focus on the small country schools that once dotted this part of Dane County. The meeting begins at 3 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 20, at the Verona Senior Center. Joe Wineke is scheduled to give a presentation about the country school that he and his brothers attended in the area. At the October meeting, the guest speaker was Sally Matts Healy, who spoke about the Matts family, starting with her great-great grandfather, Josiah H.B. Matts, who was born in Pennsylvania in 1812. In 1844, Josiah brought his wife, Lydia, and 4-year-old son, William to Wisconsin. In 1845, they received a land grant for the east part of the village of Verona from north of the present cemetery to south of the Badger Mill Creek, about 230 acres. Lydias brother, Joseph Flick, was the first owner of the other half of the village. In 1848, the Matts built the first brick house in Verona, at the northeast corner of Verona Avenue and N. Main Street. Later that year, Josiah sold the Town of Verona two acres of land for the current cemetery for $15. In 1861, he leased land to the Baptist Church for $1. In 1880, he sold a strip of land 100 feet wide to the Chicago and Tomah Railroad for $50. There are seven generations of the Matts family living in Verona. There is a plaque on a rock at Firemans Park reading In Memory of the Matts Family Pioneers of Verona From Their Descendants. There is also a park bench at the same location dedicated In Memory of Sallys father, Joseph and her three uncles Casper, William and Donald.

Gravity, Occult Forces, and the Mystery of Spirit

The idea that Newton discovered gravity after being struck by a falling apple is doubtful. Newton had a lifelong interest in alchemy, magic, and occult forces, and his theory of gravity may have been inspired by the idea of occult forces, i.e., the idea that objects can have an effect on other objects without touching them. Gravity is essentially action at a distance. The earth doesnt have to touch the moon in order to exert a gravitational pull on it. This may seem obvious to us now, but there is still something deeply mysterious about how objects affect other objects without actually touching them. How does gravity or magnetism work, unless the space between objects is a kind of fluid (or ether) in which they are actually connected? Or, is space itself a kind of fluid rather than an empty vacuum? Minds are equally mysterious. Minds seem to be in contact with other minds, for instance when we sense what someone is going to say or how they feel. Perhaps the universe is, at bottom, more spirit than matter. And perhaps some are more in tune with the cosmic fluid, the spiritual ocean, as it were, in which all of us are swimming, whether we know it or not. Christopher Simon via Metro News Service For since the creation of the world Gods invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.

The new pump house on Epics campus has pipes pumping water both to and from the reservoir.

Well: State-of-art system has remote access, geothermal

Continued from page 1 highest output among the citys five wells, producing around 2,300 gallons per minute, Rieder said. Wells 2-4 produce around 2,000, and Well No. 1, which was built in 1933, produces 350. Water operator Dan Palmer said the new well has given the city more options if repairs are needed at other pumps around the city or if something goes off line. And Rieder said rather than putting more money into restoring Well No. 1 in the future, the older, lower-capacity structure which looks a bit like a normal brick house on Shuman Street will probably be abandoned. The project included updating the control system to a new computerized system that can be accessed from the well-mans phone in an emergency. For Palmer, thats highly convenient compared to the access he had from home with the prior system. I had to go home, get out the computer, plug it in, Palmer said. Now I can get on from just about anywhere. Also convenient is keeping the pump house at the correct temperature with the geothermal energy system that heats and cools Epics entire facility. The pump house also includes a generator inside to power the well below it, and the buildings power comes from the same power line Epics power does. The well and reservoir, in fact, sit adjacent to the massive substation Epic built to take power from its six wind turbines in Springfield that were finally connected in September. Dennis Saari, a project manager at AECOM, a consulting and engineering firm that assists the city with water projects, called the new well pretty routine in its design and operation. All the other storage facilities that they have there at the city are elevated storage, and (the

below-ground well) works nicely evening out the flow going to and from the storage reservoir, he said of Veronas water system.

Next year, the city will re-evaluate its master plan for public works, Rieder said, after making the last one in September 2006. Saari, whose firm helped develop the 2006 plan, said he expected the company to be actively involved in the new plan. Now that weve got the new pump station on line, and theres always the continuous growth over there by Epic, so well be evaluating if theres any improvements needed, Saari said. Rieder said he expects the two new pump houses will buy the city plenty of time before any more upgrades will be needed. From a water-storage standpoint and well capacity and pumping capacity you never know how crazy Epic builds sometimes, but I would think that we certainly have programmed ourselves out for at least 10 years before wed be looking for any more water storage or pumping capacity, he said.

Jeff Lehmann was in a bicycle accident on July 18th. He had bleeding on the brain, two large contusions on the brain, twenty staples in the back of his head; he had no feeling in his legs and was unconscious for 15 minutes (he was wearing a helmet! It saved his life!). Due to the brain injury and a torn rotary cuff muscle and fractured scapula, Jeff will be out of work for a while and the family could use some financial assistance. On July 28th, doctors determined that Megan had a tumor on her kidney. She was admitted to the American Family Childrens Hospital that night and had surgery to remove the tumor and her kidney the next morning. The tumor was determined to be a stage 3 Wilms Tumor. She spent a week in the hospital recovering from the surgery and started chemo and radiation treatments the following week. She completed seven radiation treatments and faces 25 weeks of chemotherapy.

Verona kids raise almost $3K for VASD

More than 130 kids participated in Tri 4 Schools youth mud run on Oct. 26, which raised $2,000 for Verona schools. The run itself had over 700 kids participate, which raised approximately $13,000 in total for health and wellness programs at their schools. For the year, 235 kids participated and raised $3,901 in Tri 4 School events. Country View Elementary was the highest participating school this year, followed closely by Core Knowledge Charter School and Sugar Creek Elementary. As part of our mission to reach kids throughout Dane County, Tri 4 Schools provides scholarship funds for any child that qualifies for free or reduced lunch. Last weekend one in five kids participating was on scholarship, said Tri 4 Schools executive director Katie Hensel. We cannot thank all our sponsors, donors, and volunteers enough for their work in helping to fight childhood obesity by getting kids excited about exercise.

Sectionals: State meet is Saturday at 3 p.m.

Continued from page 11 continued to pile up points in the fly at sectionals as senior Lindsay Craig (59.82) finished fifth and junior Sammy Seymour (1:00.19) took sixth to also advance on to state. The Wildcats saved their best performance at sectionals for last, however. Taking advantage of one of the best underwater tacticians in the state, Beata Nelson singlehandedly pulled V/ MHs 400 free relay (freshman Kristi Larsen, Maizie Seidl and Craig) from third place to second in less than a full length of the pool. She then chased down Madison Wests Jo Jekel for the second time to give the Wildcats their final sectional title in 3:32.81. When all was said and done, Beata found herself part of two pool records and four sectional titles, automatically advancing to this Saturdays Division 1 state meet inside the UW Natatorium in the 100 back, 100 fly and as part of the 200 and 400 free relays. Joining the V/MH team this season after the Verona Aquatic Club shutdown operations, senior Mallory Olson finished runner-up to Sun Prairie freshman standout Rachel Powers in 5:14.34 and will advance to her only WIAA state meet in the 500 free. Despite swimming with a compound fracture in her ankle, senior Maddy Nelson managed to finish third in the 100 backstroke (59.12) and swim the lead leg of the Wildcats medley relay. It hurts, but its my senior year and Im going to do whatever it takes to swim, the UW-Milwaukee recruit said. Doing physical therapy and receiving sports massages to combat tendinitis in both shoulders, the past year, Mount Horeb junior Shelby Rozeboom knew nothing was going to come easy this season. Rozeboom made the most of her lone individual event at sectionals, winning the 50-yard freestyle in a seasonbest 24.18. It was a just a great feeling knowing that I was at least guaranteed that much, said Rozeboom, who reached the state medal podium with a sixth-place finish a year ago. Now hopefully I can better my time from last week and

get back on the podium. Rozeboom also helped the Verona/Mount Horeb girls swimming team qualify the 200 medley and 200 free relays for state. I wasnt sure how the high school season was going to go, she said. I dont feel too much pain in the 50, but by the time the 200 free relay rolls around, I can start to feel it. Rozeboom anchored Veronas 200-medley team of Maddy Nelson, Larsen and Seymour to a third-place finish in 1:48.74. She later swam the lead leg of the 200 free relay where Seidl, Beata Nelson and Larsen posted a pool record 1:36.31 to capture the teams second of four sectional medals. The 200 free time was fastest to earn them the third seed behind Waukesha South/

Mukwonago and Arrowhead. Just about the only thing the Wildcats were unable to do at sectionals was beat the host Cardinals. Ranked third on the Wisconsin Interscholastic Swim Coaches Association Division 1 state poll, Middleton finished 43 points ahead of fifth-ranked Verona, 367-324. Madison Memorial and Madison West tied to round out the top three with 302 points. While two-time defending state champion and topranked Waukesha South/ Mukwonago and Arrowhead may be out of reach, having now fallen seven times headto-head against Middleton, Rozeboom said the goal of finishing in the top three at state is still attainable. Finally beating Middleton at state would be amazing,

especially for the seniors on our team, Rozeboom said. They have all worked extremely hard and we all deserve it. Also qualifying for state were Craig and sophomore Julia Ver Voort who finished fifth overall in the 200 free (1:56.89) and 200 individual medley (2:12.98), respectively. Larsen placed fifth in the 100 breaststroke (1:09.07) and senior Anna Kopp finished seventh (1:09.67) to earn the final state qualifying spot. The girls all swam incredible at sectionals, but were ready to go even faster at state, V/MH head coach Halley Johnson said. Saturdays WIAA Division 1 swimming meet gets underway at 3 p.m.

Budget update preps for Mondays working session

JIM FEROLIE
Verona Press editor

Timeline
Oct. 30: Finance committee recommends budget Nov. 7: Publication in Verona Press Nov. 11: Presentation (televised and on YouTube) Nov. 18: Committee of the Whole Nov. 25: Public hearing, possible vote

Mondays budget presentation before the Committee of the Whole served two purposes. It was the formal presentation of the Finance committees recommended budget, and it also answered several questions that alders and community members have had about that plan. For example, one concern was the police departments preference for hiring a second lieutenant next year over a patrol officer. City staff worked out a way to shift the $27,000 difference into this years budget while still keeping within the targeted 3 percent tax increase though the numbercrunching doesnt exactly follow the citys traditional financial management model of avoiding the use

of one-time savings for recurring costs. It also explained why a full-time public works employee would make a big difference over a part-time one, highlighted some key omissions, such as library human resources and fire department help, and put the proposed increase in tax rates and full-time

equivalents in perspective of future years spending. Alders asked a few clarifying questions but spared discussion. Immediately after the presentation, two residents spoke in support of the budget. Former alder Nancy Bartlett and Verona Area Chamber of Commerce president Steve Rudolph implored the council to be kind to the taxpayer, as Rudolph put it. Next Mondays Committee of the Whole meeting will be a working session to come up with compromises and consensus on spending levels, targeted staff increases and capital projects. The plan, then, as laid out by staff, would be to have a final set of amendments proposed by Nov. 20 and considered at the Nov. 25 meeting.

Council: Epic Campus 4 gets final OK

Continued from page 1 built, leaving the city high and dry. But with the proposal substantially similar to the original plan for the area approved in 2005 and expired in 2010 it was hard to argue against it, even with year-old city policies limiting apartment development. This is an appropriate location, as opposed to smack dab in the middle of a single-family development, Ald. Scott Manley (Dist. 2) said. That statement was an obvious reference to the 96-unit Siena Crest Apartments just a few blocks away in Harmony Hills. Those apartments got the entire neighborhood in an uproar two years ago when they were replacing a 5-year-old plan for 36 duplex homes. The hubbub inspired a new neighborhood association and the creation of the citys apartment phasing policy. Even then, Manley gave a crucial, yet reluctant vote of support, recognizing that the city had forced itself through zoning to approve some sort of apartments there and easily could end up with an inferior product. Monday, he acknowledged that he had lived in an apartment once but still preferred how single-family, owneroccupied units make for stronger, more cohesive neighborhoods. Ald. Mac McGilvray (D-1), who had voted against Siena Crest in a contentious 4-4 vote that passed on a mayoral tiebreaker, noted that the phasing policy was a bit of compromise between the two sides of the apartment issue. Noting that senior units are exempt from that policy, he expressed some concern that the city wouldnt be able to hold the developer to its plan for the senior building. Meanwhile, Ald. Heather Reekie (D-4) asked if those senior units could be built sooner than the end of the four-phase project. A representative for the developer replied that it couldnt go before the first 50 units because of financing and infrastructure issues, but its a priority for the developer, too, and could possibly be built before phases 2 and 3. Plan Commission representative Ald. Dale Yurs (D-2) pointed out that the senior housing is a cornerstone of the development and the reason for a high density that some on the commission didnt like. He supported it at both levels despite concerns that it would take up half the citys 2014 and 2015 allocation of apartment units. The original proposal, however, would have used all the citys 2014 allocation. Mayor Jon Hochkammer noted that the city had already approved the basic idea once before. And Ald. Mike Bare (D-4) said the apartments would provide more options and balance and would look attractive. Mondays approval was the second of three steps in the planned-unit development process. The general development plan, or GDP, gives assurances that the city will accept development that is substantially similar to what has been presented, though it can haggle over aesthetics. The council still has the ability to turn down or force revisions to the third step, the precise implementation plan, which goes into detail on landscaping, utilities, aesthetics and other minutiae. That likely wont be ready for a few months.

Epic approved
The Common Council gave the final go-ahead for Epic to build its Wizards Academy Campus, the companys fourth set of office buildings, on the north side of its 800-plusacre facility. The Plan Commission had given unanimous approval to its site plan the previous week, as well as to a permit for a group development, allowing it to build more than one building on a single parcel. The council Monday considered only the permit, essentially a formality. About the only discussion was a suggestion from Bare that the commission reconsider the citys height limitations, as they have been causing Epic some difficulty in combination with another city requirement, having pitched roofs. In this case, the company blew that height limitation wide open, with multiple points reaching as high as 102 feet above the already elevated ground.

Manager postponed
The city postponed a decision on hiring a construction manager for the fire station that will be built over the next couple of years. Ald. Mac McGilvray (D-1) explained that the final version of the contract had just gotten to the Finance committee for approval and alders hadnt had enough time to look over the details. He said a vote would be planned for next week, when the council will already be meeting as a Committee of the Whole.

The Verona Area Board of Education met on Monday, July 29, 2013 in the District Administration Building. Board President Dennis Beres called the meeting to order at 7:05 p.m. Clerk Ken Behnke confirmed the meeting was properly noticed. Present: Renee Zook, John McCulley, Jeannie Porter (left at 8:50), Amy Almond, Dennis Beres, Ken Behnke Absent: Joanne Gauthier Audience portion Christine Wilkins has two children enrolled in the district through open enrollment. She talked to the Board about a possible site change so that both of her children could attend the same school. Announcements Dennis announced that Dave Richardson was inducted into the Wisconsin Football Coaches Association Hall of Fame. Dennis congratulated Dave. Dean introduced Mike Pisani. Mike is on the agenda for approval as the Principal at Stoner Prairie. Mike thanked the Board for the opportunity and gave a brief overview of his background and family. Dean indicated there were a record 122 applications for this position. Mike will start August 8th pending Board approval. A letter will go out to parents with that information. BOARD BUSINESS Consider approval of minutes Motion (Porter) second (Zook) to approve the minutes from the June 24, 2013 Board meeting. Motion carried (5-0). Beres abstained. Motion (Almond) second (Porter) to approve the minutes from the July 15, 2013 Board work session. Motion carried (6-0). Presentation of CESA II services Gary Albrecht from CESA II attended to talk about their services. He indicated there are 74 school districts in CESA II. The two primary parts of their mission is to look at student achievement and operations. Gary gave a brief overview noting that they have four primary areas: Business Services, Instructional, Special Ed and Technology. Their office is located in Whitewater. They work collaboratively with the DPI. Update on the 4K program Jennifer Skibba and Donna Behn attended to give an update on the 4K program. They indicated that they talked with the directors to see what were the shining moments or strengths from the year. The directors mentioned working with parents and getting more involved with students, professional development and the timely response from the district on things they needed. Donna emphasized that Jennifer has been a shining star for the program with all the time and effort she has put in. Jennifer gave an overview of the year and some of the

improvements/changes for the coming year. She indicated that they have 283 district students registered currently along with 22 additional students through the 66:03 contract and 33 Madison students registered. Donna reported that they will be adding an RtI Intervention position this year through a grant written by CESA 2. This person would focus on what the RtI model would look like. There are eleven different sites and multiple classrooms at the sites so having another person who can walk into the classrooms and be a coach will be key. The grant money is one-time money so they are hoping that with the mentoring and coaching they identify some key people in the buildings to become a lead in building leadership capacity. Update on Talents and Passions Committee Plan Donna indicated that a copy of the advisory committee plan was included in the Board packet. It is posted on the website as well. Donna reviewed some of the areas the committee would like to spend time on this year. Consider action on modification to open enrollment space availability John Schmitt gave a brief background on the open enrollment process. The Board previously approved 85 spaces for open enrollment students. Two sites recently requested additional spaces based on their expected enrollment. Country View has space at K (4 spaces), 4th (3 spaces) and 5th (3 spaces) for a total of ten additional spaces there. Sugar Creek has space at 4th (2 spaces) and 5th (2 spaces) for a total of four spaces there. Motion (Porter) second (McCulley) to approve the request for the 14 additional open enrollment spaces (Country View 10, Sugar Creek 4). Motion carried (6-0). Consider action on Dane County New Teacher Project Motion (Behnke) second (Almond) to approve the Dane County New Teacher Project contract. Motion carried (6-0). Consider action on CESA I contract for services Motion (Almond) second (Zook) to approve the CESA I contract. Motion carried (6-0). Consider action on moving September Board meeting dates to September 9th and 23rd Motion (McCulley) second (Porter) to approve moving the September Board meeting dates to September 9th and 23rd. Motion carried (6-0). Discussion of Board salaries for the 2013 2014 school year Denny indicated that the Board salaries will be set at the annual district meeting August 19th. He talked about the difficulty of determining your own pay but emphasized the sacrifice that goes into being on the Board. The recommendation that will be considered is a 2.1% raise. This will voted on at the annual meeting. Update on Joint Review Board discussion on Fitchburg TIF 6 Renee attended the TIF Joint Review Board meeting held recently. Fitchburg wants to expand TIF #6, the Orchard Point TIF (Target New Hy-Vee store up on McKee). They wish to expend the TIF to the east side of Verona Road to include General Beverage / Placon / Thermo Fischer area. No decision was reached at the meeting but Renee feels comfortable with this and Dean and Chris do as well. This extension would mean several more years would be added to the close out of the TIF. There will be another meeting in September. SUPERINTENDENTS REPORT Update on North Stoner Prairie Neighborhood meeting Chris and Dean have been attending these meetings. At the last meeting, the discussion focused on the development plan for that area east of the Bike path (that runs parallel to Seminole) and west of Stoner Prairie / Savanna Oaks. The question was whether this would be a Traditional Neighborhood Design (Smart Growth meaning generally higher home densities and retail) or just a residential area. The committee chose to note vote on that matter so it defaults to a residential design meaning generally lower housing density. There will be a public hearing session on this matter in August and at least one more committee meeting. Update on mass-communication system SchoolReach Dean indicated that the district is getting ready to go on line with SchoolReach. A letter was sent last week to parents with information. SchoolReach uses the primary contact information that is in Powerschool and can send a mass message through email, text and voice mail. If parents want to get all three, they are encouraged to give a cell phone. Parents should be receiving, if they havent already, a letter to go into Powerschool and check their information. The district will only use this for emergency and weather related. Sites may use this for other things but they need to determine protocol for this. Annual meeting reminder The next meeting is the annual meeting on August 19th at 6:00 with a Board meeting to follow. Update on Verona Road construction and potential impact on bussing times Dean indicated that Dave Rasmussen and Minerva Gonzales from First Student attended the IDAC meeting to hear about the Verona Road construction. Dave did some checking on this and indicated there may be bus delays caused by the construction. The biggest concern is getting the buses out from the elementary drop off to do the second run to the high school / middle schools. Dean will be meeting with the admin team about this and there is a BG and T meeting planned for August 2nd to discuss this further. PERSONNEL ITEMS Consider approval of teaching contracts Motion (Zook) second (Behnke) to approve the teaching contracts for Susan Austen, Charlene Cardona Avelareas, Amber Brander, Jo Ann Busalacchi, Alexandra L. Eason, Cathy Freye, Marisa Kahler, Kristina Katerinos, Andrew Killeen, Stephanie Kirker, Alison Lesniak, Katelyn MacKay, MeLinda Mulryan, Jennifer Novinska, Kayleen Parker, Emily Phillippi, Elizabeth Schlitz, Michelle Teatek, Bonnie Tuttle, and Ethan Zastrow. Motion carried (5-0).

Consider approve of administrative contract Motion (Behnke) second (McCulley) to approve the administrative contract for Mike Pisani. Motion carried (5-0). Consider release from contract Motion (McCulley) second (Almond) to approve the release from contract for Antonio Galvan and Theresa Conybear. Motion carried (5-0). FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS / MEETING DATES Denny noted that the annual meeting is August 19th and that we changed the September meetings earlier in the meeting. COMMITTEE REPORTS Building, Grounds and Transportation Committee Has not met. Finance Committee Renee reported that the committee met earlier this evening. They discussed the Fitchburg TIF, which was already discussed. Mr. Murphy gave an update on the performance contract. Most of the other projects will be done by the beginning of the school year. They talked about a resolution to override our levy and a resolution to repay our bonds. Michelle from PMA will be speaking with the Board at the September 9th meeting about borrowing for our Tran notes. She noted that this year we will not need to borrow until October. Michelle is suggesting we do two notes and pool together with other school districts to go after better rates. The committee talked about DPI reporting and what the district uses fund 80 for. DPI has given language that will be published at the annual meeting. Renee reported that the district received one time money from a K grant that will be used to hire the RtI specialist. Motion (Zook) second (McCulley) to approve payment of the bills in the amount of $3,749,410.27. Motion carried (5-0). Personnel Committee Ken reported that the committee met on July 19th. They discussed salary changes for the administrators and wage changes for the non-union support staff. The recommendation to consider a 2.1% increase base wages will come at the next meeting. Dean updated the committee regarding a data / educator effectiveness implementation coach position. This position would help teachers with the use of the data to write student learning outcomes and with principals in school learning outcomes. Donna and Betty are putting together a draft job description and will bring it back to the Personnel Committee. The committee looked at health insurance rates. Ken indicated that we have saved money due to the plan put together with PPIC two years ago. To date, this agreement with PPIC has saved the district $3.9 million in insurance premiums that we otherwise would have paid to PPIC without the agreement. Ken also noted that there was a $62000 positive difference between premiums and claims last year for our self-insured dental plan. That money will go into reserve funds for that insurance to future years where we may lose money on the premiums / claims ratio. The committee then went into closed session to discuss the ongoing negotiations with VAEA and VESPA. IDAC Committee Denny reported that the committee met on the 22nd. They discussed the road construction plans. (Updates can be found on the DOT Facebook page as well as their website.) Tony Roach discussed TID 6, which Renee reported on earlier, and the North Stoner Prairie neighborhood, which Dean reported on. Fitchburg is still talking about relocating their fire stations. Bill Burns and Adam Sayre talked about development possibilities in Verona, which included the Epic area and the M and PD area. Dean, Chris and Denny met with them earlier and asked them to put a placeholder in this plan development for a school site. They agreed to do this. Denny indicated that TIF 5 is going to close out (Zurbachen Oil, City Garage area) sometime next year. TIF 7 has two issues needing to be resolved (Well, upgraded roads). Karl Curtis from the Chamber said chamber members are concerned with the whole downtown process and they are going to meet with business owners and try to get behind recommendations. Dean received an email requesting names to meet with some of the chamber members to talk about the downtown. Renee, John and Denny are interested. Karl noted that the opinion of business people is business is improving but fairly optimistic. The Chamber has a new assistant who will create a marketing image for Verona. The new logo is Explore, Play, Stay. Room tax pays for that. Amanda from the Town indicated that things are quiet. They stuck to their average of three houses for new development. There is another construction project at Sunset and PB. George Hagenaur of Springdale indicated that there is nothing going on there to report. He did talk about document showing a rating system for day care providers. The Madison centers are rated quite high and are doing fine. In Verona, most of the centers are not going through the rating system. There were 30 permits issued in Verona for single-family housing. Last year there were 64 total so they are at about the same pace. There is a decrease in apartment building permits. There are 18 so far compared to 149 last year. The next IDAC meeting will be October 21 at 8:00 a.m. Adjourn Motion (Almond) second (Zook) to adjourn at 9:40 p.m. Motion carried (5-0). Published: November 14, 2013 WNAXLP

The Verona Area Board of Education met on Monday, August 19, 2013 in the District Administration Building. Board President Dennis Beres called the meeting to order at 7:14 p.m. Clerk Ken Behnke confirmed the meeting was properly noticed. Present: Renee Zook, John McCulley, Jeannie Porter, Dennis Beres, Ken Behnke Absent: Joanne Gauthier, Amy Almond Audience portion Amy Klubertanz and Karie Huttner attended to invite the Board to Nakoma Heights Community Center on Thursday. Stoner Prairie received an Innovation Grant for the Learn Academy and they have been working on projects. There will be a dinner at 5:00 and then a presentation. Karissa Severson attended to ask if there were any changes in open enrollment space at the 6th grade. Announcements Dean announced that last week several staff members hosted a registration at Stone Crest Apartments that went very well. He thanked all of the staff members who

helped with that. In addition, there is an offsite registration at the Boys and Girls Club tomorrow from noon until 7:00 p.m. Several staff members planned that as well. Dean announced that this is Carmens last official Board meeting. He noted that she will be at the next couple meetings for training. BOARD BUSINESS Consider approval of minutes Motion (Porter) second (Zook) to approve the minutes from the July 29, 2013 Board Meeting with one correction (correct spelling of Zurbuchen) Motion carried (5-0). Consider changes to school handbooks - Pam Hammen attended to review the changes to the high school handbook. She reviewed the two areas that had changes which included the tardy policy and the dress code. Motion (Behnke) second (Porter) to approve the changes to the high school handbook. Motion carried (5-0). SUPERINTENDENTS REPORT Update on device check out procedures and Internet filtering Betty Wottreng explained that for quite a few years, the district has had mobile devices that students have used but the devices have always stayed on campus. It is getting to a point where staff would like to allow these devices to go off campus. Betty indicated that they would like to put together a draft policy for review that would include expectations, care, liability, etc. They are reviewing documents from other places and hope to bring this to the Board in the near future. In addition, Betty talked about Internet filtering. She indicated that if anything is through our Internet, it is filtered and we have clear language on that. What isnt clear is if a student takes a device home. Betty would like to see the district takes the stand that we would filter the same way if the device is at a students home. The challenge is to determine the liability factor. Some districts cover the entire cost. Preliminary estimates are in the $25 per unit range. Some districts have an agreement where the family covers a portion of the cost or charge a user fee. Betty will work with Nancy Dorman from WASB on the draft policy. Update on biennium budget implementation - Donna Behn attended to talk about a notice from DPI that gave a summary about implementation updates for the biennium budget. This included information about Common Core, Statewide Information System, Educator Effectiveness, Next Generation Assessments / ACT Suite, and Academic and Career plans. A major concern with Common Core comes from whether or not school districts will be able to handle the costs of the assessments or the technology to administer the tests. As for the Statewide Information System. the state is no longer planning on going to a singular student information system so the district will still have the ability to use Powerschool. With regard to Educator Effectiveness, Donna indicated that Educator Effectiveness will be required for all school districts starting the 201415 school year. This will eventually impact all of our classroom teachers and all principals. Principals have been going through the evaluator certification process through Teachscape this summer. Donna and Jason Olson will be out at the buildings to talk with staff about specifics of Educator Effectiveness. Lastly, as part of the next generation assessments at the high school, the Explore / Plan / ACT Suite will most likely replace WKCE. They need to be sure those tests align with the common core so there likely will be something added to the tests. The state will pick up the costs of the 9th and 11th grade test that we currently give so this will be a benefit to the district. Update on enrollment Dean reviewed current preliminary enrollment. The district total is currently 5389 and that includes 4K and open enrollment as well. Update on open enrollment Dean reviewed the open enrollment numbers. There are 76 confirmed open enrollment students in and 34 confirmed open enrollment students out. Reminder back to school staff meeting Dean reminded the Board of the all staff gathering on August 30th. There will be breakfast in the Commons at the high school at 7:30. Then they will move to the PAC at 8:00 for the all staff presentation. Denny is unable to attend this year. Ken will attend in his place. The Keynote is Calvin Terrell. The session will be recorded.

Motion carried (5-0). Consider release from contract Motion (Behnke) second (Porter) to approve the release from contract for Melissa Connors. Motion carried (5-0). FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS / MEETING DATES Denny reviewed the future meeting dates. COMMITTEE REPORTS Building, Grounds and Transportation Committee Jeannie reported that the committee met on August 2nd. The primary discussion item was brought by the bus company with concerns about the length of time it will take for bus routes that pass through the construction zones. They requested that we look at dropping off elementary students 10 minutes early. The road construction projects are estimated to be a five-year project and we dont know what is going to happen with the traffic patterns so the committee decided to table it and react as needed. An alternative option could be splitting the route. It is about $50,000 to add a bus route. The committee also talked about summer maintenance projects. Brian (Miller) attended and gave an update on the Badger Ridge roof. Completion is on schedule. In addition, he reported on school entries, card access, indoor lighting, outdoor lighting, boiler installation, the greenhouse cover/curtain, and September cleaning. Dean gave a shout out to Ken Kietzke and his guys for all the work they have done over the summer. Finance Committee Motion (Zook) second (McCulley) to approve payment of the bills in the amount of $3,730,339.48. Motion carried (5-0). Personnel Committee has not met.

Lead: Students no longer have to travel to Middleton to participate in the classes

Continued from page 1 heavily project-based, allow students to complete activities at their own pace, even when it comes to quizzes and tests. One Thursday in class, Mikkelson reminded her students about their quiz the next day, telling them to get it done at some point in class, but allowing the students the opportunity to choose exactly when during the period they would take it. When youre ready, take it, she told them. Junior Malcolm Kinsey, also in the HBS class, said the selfguided class allows for little input from the teacher, which actually increases the learning opportunities for the students. That allows you to go at your own pace, he said. When you learn something in a way that makes sense to you, it works better than the way 26 other people learn it. This semester, the class has already completed a bag of bones project, as Touchett and

Waldo described it, in which each student received a bag of bones and had to analyze it to determine gender and other characteristics. The class is now working with skeletal models on which students do such activities as color and outline tissues and bone structure. Kinsey described it as visual and creative. Engineering teacher Rick Boehm and science/agriculture teacher Angie Midthun-Hensen also gained certification in October. The process, which Mikkelson described as long and daunting, included inspectors from PLTW coming to the school to ensure everything was up to the programs standards, including a laptop for every student in the class to allow personalized learning. Boehm, who was certified for an Introduction to Engineering Design class this year and hopes to gain further certification for Principles of Engineering in the future, said he appreciates the way the program forces a student

When you learn something in a way that makes sense to you, it works better than the way 26 other people learn it.
Malcolm Kinsey, junior to develop problem-solving skills. It challenges the student to solve a problem, he said. You have to actually solve problems with your own skills. Im a resource but Im not every step of the instruction. Students interested in the programs previously had to go to Middleton High School to participate in the class with a certified instructor, but now there are six classes offered on-site at VAHS, each with 24 students, and that is likely to grow in the future. Thats our key, Mikkelson said. All three teachers are going back next summer to get more training so we can offer more courses. VAHS principal Pam Hammen said the school is adding three more PLTW classes to the course offerings for next year, including two in the biomedical strand and one in the engineering area. That will give the school all four classes offered in the biomedical route and three of the four in the engineering field. Hammen said staff will see exactly what students sign up for before deciding how many sections to offer of each.

College credit
Similar to Advanced Placement courses, the PLTW-certified classes offer students a chance to earn credit at both the high school and college level at the same time, with a test at the end of the course to measure their knowledge of the subject. For PLTW, however, the college credit is

what is called transcripted credit through partnerships with participating universities, including the Milwaukee School of Engineering, University of WisconsinPlatteville and University of Wisconsin-Stout. Mikkelson said if a class similar to the PLTW class is offered at the college, a student would get credit for the exact course, and if not, it could count as an elective. A college awards credits based on the test score at the end of the year, but if a score is not high enough to get credit at one school, he said students can attempt to apply to another school with different standards to still get credit for the course. Mikkelson said the students who take the class are those who have a lot of interest in the subject matter, and that helps make the classes successful. Its taking the kids that are truly motivated and want to be in this class to the next level, he said. Its Project Lead the Way, and these guys are going to lead the way.
