Agree to disagree
Fire department, downtown plan divide Hochkammer, Kemp
MARK IGNATOWSKI
Unied Newspaper Group
The citys two candidates for
mayor seemed to agree on a lot
of things during their debate last
week, but concerns about the fire
department and downtown study
were two issues where incum-
bent Jon Hochkammer and chal-
lenger Chad Kemp didnt see
eye to eye.
Local attorney Chad Kemp,
34, who grew up in the Fitch-
burg area of the Verona Area
School District and moved to the
city as an adult, is challenging
Hochkammer, who spent nine
years as an alder before being
elected mayor in 2006.
Kemp said he wanted to see
better communication from the
city particularly in relation
to the fire department and the
downtown plan. Kemp said the
city is at a crossroads as it
continues to grow and will need
to face a number of important
issues as it continues to grow.
I think that we need to have
proactive and effective leader-
ship that communicates directly
with the citizens, Kemp said.
Hochkammer, 58, touted his
experience with the city, adding
that hes been the main archi-
tect of the budget since 1997
and has helped diversify the
tax burden in the city in order
to provide services like the
senior center, library and street
maintenance to residents while
protecting against economic
downturns.
None of those things would
have happened had we not had
good sound planning, Hoch-
kammer said. Because of my
passion, my knowledge, my
experience we can continue
to get things done.
The debate sponsored by the
Verona Area Chamber of Com-
merce and moderated by Verona
Press editor Jim Ferolie gave
the two candidates a chance to
weigh in on Veronas growth,
the pending closure of Epics
TIF, the citys budget process,
the handling of the transition to a
Spring election

Increased traffic projections have

Woman arrested in Verona for intent to sell drugs
Verona police arrested a
Colorado woman Feb. 27
on a pair of drug charges.
Police charged Christine
Chilcote, 44, of Colorado,
with Possession with Intent
to Deliver THC, a felony,
and Possession of Drug
Paraphernalia after stop-
ping her car Feb. 27 due to
a suspended registration, the
criminal complaint states.
According to the criminal
complaint:
Police stopped Chilcote
just after 9 p.m. in her van
on Hwy. 18/151, and the
officer noticed an overpow-
ering smell of perfume or
air freshener, which can be
used to cover another scent
such as drugs or alcohol.
After a K-9 unit searched
the vehicle and indicated
there were drugs in the
vehicle, Chilcote admitted to
police she had one ounce in
her purse and four ounces in
her luggage.
Police eventually recov-
ered four bottles, two seal-
able bags, two cigarettes
and two black containers of
suspected marijuana, with
a total weight of nearly 150
grams.
Police also recovered a
glass smoking device.
Chilcote has a status con-
ference set for May 18,
according to online court
records.

Former Epic Systems employee
sentenced to 38 years in prison
The former Epic Sys-
tems employee who plead-
ed guilty in December to
multiple counts of sexual
assault was sentenced to 38
years in prison Friday.
Bri an St owe, 29, had
been a project manager
at Epic Systems when he
was arrested for sexually
assaulting eight women,
including six coworkers, in
June 2013.
Judge William Hanrahan
handed down the 38-year
sentence for the 16 counts
of 2nd degree sexual assault
and 11 counts related to
capturing or possessing a
nude image. Stowe had pre-
viously been sentenced in
January to 15 years in fed-
eral prison because one of
his victims was a 17-year-
old, and will serve a total
of 43 years in state and fed-
eral prisons due to concur-
ring sentences, according to
online court records.
According to the criminal
complaint:
The 17-year-old victim
reported to police on Oct.
13, 2012, that she believed
a man had touched her in
inappropriate ways, and
police identified Stowe as
the suspect.
In the process of investi-
gating that case in Novem-
ber 2012, police recovered
a di gi t al camera, fl ash
drives, an external hard
drive, laptops and other
devices at Stowes apart-
ment and found numer-
ous nude videos and pho-
tos of women who appeared
either passed out or asleep.
The images also showed
Stowe performing sexual
acts on the women.
Pol i ce i dent i f i ed t he
women in the photos and
vi deos and a det ect i ve
met with them. None of
the women in the images
except t he 17-year-ol d
knew St owe possessed
the images or that he took
the images, though they
acknowledged being at a
party or going out drinking
with Stowe and others on
the dates the images were
captured.
The 17-year-ol d vi c-
tim had woken up while
he took pictures and per-
formed other acts and told
him to stop, though she had
felt too weak to get away,
before reporting the inci-
dent to police. She came to
his apartment after the two
shared a cab and he told her
he would help her get home
safely.
Six of his victims were
coworkers, and many cried
when a detective showed
them the images and videos
Stowe had taken.
Th e f i r s t i n c i d e n t
occurred around Nov. 22,
2009, with the last around
Oct. 20, 2012.
Using GPS data attached
t o t he phot os , pol i ce
learned Stowe committed
the crimes in both Madison
and at a ski resort in Colo-
rado in 2010.

Letters to the editor
Vote Willett for county supervisor
I am happy to say I will be vot-
ing for Mike Willett in District 32
for the Dane County Board.
I worked with him, as a Town of
Verona Supervisor, several years
ago on the Town Board. He is a
fair and honest person.
The Verona area currently is
not being represented at the coun-
ty board level because the most
recent Dane County supervisor
has not attended a Board meeting
since the end of 2013 and a com-
mittee meeting since Halloween.
This person is now the treasurer of
Mike Willetts opponent.
When someone first gets on the
board, they have many ideas of
what should be done, then they fig-
ure out what really happens. It
takes a year to really get an idea
of how things work. If any board
member is really honest with
themselves they will say the same
thing. This is where Mikes experi-
ence will pay more dividends than
someone who has never been on a
board at this level.
Mike Willett truly represents
Verona values.
This is why I hope everyone will
support Mike and vote for him on
April 1.
Mike Duerst
Town of Verona
Willett will tirelessly serve on county board
Weve known Mike Willett for
more than thirty years.
Weve watched him devote
endless hours to working for
Verona and the county at large.
We dont vote parties or ideology;
we vote for people.
Mike has proven himself over
the years to be tireless, commit-
ted, and deeply principled. Hes
one of those people that make a
community successful. His expe-
rience and perspective are loaded
with value for all of us.
We bel i eve he shoul d be
t he Count y Boa r d me m-
ber from t he Verona area.

Town of Verona
Bares work on Verona city budget earned our vote
It is clear that Mike Bare puts
what is best for Verona first.
There was no better example of
this than during the Citys bud-
geting process.
Mike and Heather Reekie, our
other commendable alder, held a
listening session during last falls
budget season to be sure that vot-
ers in the 4th District were heard
as the City Council considered
the budget.
My family and I are strong
proponents of our library here
in Verona. During the budget
debate, Mike was extremely sup-
portive of our excellent library.
He listened carefully to our fam-
ilys position and was respectful
and proactive. Mike also showed
a willingness to listen to and
consider opposing views, and to
compromise and work with vet-
eran members of the Council,
which impressed us as positive
traits.
In the year that the Verona
Public Library was recognized as
the very best in the State of Wis-
consin, Mike showed us that he
appreciates the librarys achieve-
ments and does not take it or its
staff for granted. And he certain-
ly does not want to scale back its
operations, as some might have
hoped. Mike cares about the
librarys vital role in our commu-
nity and understands that it helps
attract young families to Verona.
His concern for the library does
not detract from his support and
concern for other vital services in
our community.
Mike and Heather jointly intro-
duced an amendment to move up
the timeline for the new Cathe-
dral Point Park to this year. That
action will help to improve the
quality of life in that neighbor-
hood.
Mike Bare provides the type of
leadership our children and we
deserve, and is working actively
to make Verona an even better
place to live. I hope our neigh-
bors in the 4th District will join
us in voting for Mike Bare on
April 1.

McPartland will represent Veronas needs on county board
Im writing to express my sup-
port for Pat McPartland for coun-
ty board.
Shes the kind of hard working
community member that Verona
needs as a representative on the
board. Her ability to work with
others and her strong stance on
public safety is why shes been
endorsed by Dane County Execu-
tive Joe Parisi and Dane County
Sheriff Dave Mahoney.
These connections bode well
for Pats ability to deliver results
for the people of Verona. Regard-
less of who our representative
on the county board is, we all
pay county taxes. If Pats elect-
ed, shell make sure our voice
is heard and that we get our fair
share of county resources.
Pat will certainly deliver more
than her opponent. During Mike
Wi l l et t s ei ght years on t he
county board, the closest thing
he could count as an accom-
plishment would be his work
with a small minority of conser-
vative county board supervisors
to threaten the countys bonding
authority. This was much like the
way that a small group of Tea
Party Republicans shut down the
federal government.
While Willett might try to say
that his extreme measures were
taken in the interest of respon-
sible spending, his support of
the very expensive expansion
of the North Mendota Parkway
says otherwise. In fact, the North
Mendota Parkway expansion is
so expensive that anyone who
votes April 1 will be paying for
the initial costs and maintenance
for the rest of their lives. Not to
mention the fact that the North
Mendota Parkway could force out
a lot of private property owners.
For the record, the North Men-
dota Parkway is north of Madison
and not anywhere near Verona at
all. Willett says he would repre-
sent all of Verona, but his advo-
cacy for costly road projects far
away from the city and his failure
to deliver anything for Verona
shows that he only represents the
interests of the far right.

Mike Bare understands the issues facing Verona council
I first met Mike Bare several
years ago while we were both
working for Senator Russ Fein-
gold. I have always known Mike
to be an exceptionally hard work-
er. I can also personally attest
that his knowledge of public pol-
icy and budgets are assets to our
community. And we should keep
him on the City Council.
I know from attending his lis-
tening session and from talking
with him over the last few months
that Mike understands and cares
deeply about the issues facing
Verona. He has good ideas for the
citys role in downtown develop-
ment, how to best grow Verona,
and what to do with the new tax
dollars coming next year from the
Epic TIF district.
Mike has, and will continue to
stand up for what he believes is
right (and best for the commu-
nity). Last year, Mike stood up
to protect our firefighters from
potentially losing their jobs. Sub-
sequently, the firefighters union
sued the city. The proposal Mike
offered would have avoided the
lawsuit because it would have
allowed firefighters to keep their
jobs while protecting the city
from any liability, and would
have ensured that the city had the
best fire services possible.
Mike has also supported add-
ing a police lieutenant to enhance
public safety and supported add-
ing staff at the senior center and
the library. He held a listening
session and has been responsive
to constituent concerns. Hes
shown he believes in the impor-
tance of community input rather
than shying away from it.
Not only is Mike a smart and
hard-working person, hes also
a good guy. He volunteers for
Special Olympics, serves on the
board of the Down syndrome
Association of Wisconsin, and
hes a good friend I can count on.
Verona has and will continue
to benefit from having Mike as a
member of the City Council and
on April 1, my wife and I will be
voting for him to keep his seat. I
hope everyone in the 4th District
does too.

We have had the privilege of
having Evan Touchett as our
neighbor and friend for many
years. We have had the opportu-
nity to see many examples of his
honesty, integrity and dedication
to making things better. We will
vote for him for City Council,
because he is good for Verona.
As a long time Verona resident
and father of three children in
the Verona school district, Evan
is committed to the economic
growth and the hometown val-
ues of Verona. He is running for
City Council because he knows
he can be a positive force in our
community. We believe that too.
He has served our city on the
council before, and he has dem-
onstrated a selfless and genuine
commitment to the welfare of
Verona.
Evan will work hard for our
city. He is not afraid to ask the
hard questions. He is not afraid
to do the right thing. He is a tire-
less and thoughtful planner with
the experience and character to
make sure that Verona remains a
great place to live.
Evan Touchett is the right
choice for City Council.
Paul and Christine Schmidt
City of Verona
Touchett belongs back on council
This April 1 we have a choice
of who will represent Verona on
the Dane County Board. I hope
you will join me in supporting
Pat McPartland to be our county
supervisor.
Pat lives in the town of Verona
where she and her husband, Jerry
Mathson, raised three children,
Kenny, Jenny, and Alex. As a
mom, she volunteered for the
Verona Aquatic Club, the Verona
Area Community Theater, and
taught Sunday school.
She is a retired teacher who
taught special education at the
high school and, much to my
daughters delight, still sub-
stitutes in the Verona schools.
Throughout her career, she
worked on many interagency
committees to promote the suc-
cessful integration of students
with disabilities into the commu-
nity.
Pat was a founding member
of the Dane County Area Tran-
sition Consortium, a member
of the self-advocacy advisory
board at Southwest Tech, and a
member of the Madison College
K-16 Partnership Committee. She
worked to bring Madison Col-
lege courses to VAHS so that all
students could get a head start
on Madison College Programs.
She is the author of Implement-
ing Transitions Plans in the IEP,
a Student-Driven Approach to
IDEA mandates.
Pat is deeply committed to
Verona and to representing our
values on the County Board. She
has three main areas of interest.
1) Human services and educa-
tion: The county spends just over
half of its budget on providing
human services. She has worked
with many of the populations
who rely on these services and
will bring her first hand knowl-
edge and experience to the board.
2) Land use and development:
The population of Verona has
grown by 50 percent in the last
ten years. We need additional
housing and businesses to keep
up with this growth and expand
the tax base. Pat recognizes that
this must be carried out in a
financially and environmentally
sustainable manner.
3) Public safety: Deciding
whether to build a new jail or ren-
ovate the current facility will be
on the countys upcoming agen-
da. She believes we need a jail
that will protect the community
from threats, provide humane
conditions for inmates, and allow
deputies to work in a safe envi-
ronment.
Pat will be a fantastic advocate
for our community and work tire-
lessly to ensure that the board
finds balanced solutions. The
choice on April 1 is clear. Pat
McPartland will be a hardwork-
ing and effective supervisor.

I write to wholeheartedly

demands. Chads education,
wisdom, and enthusiasm will

Committee, and on the Board
of the Verona Area Needs
Network). This city is a won-
derful place and it deserves
much better than the pres-
ent mayor has given. He has
tried his best, Im sure, but
he has failed all of us. Sadly,
we must all conclude that he
is not a leader.
Examples abound:
Look at our downtown.
Almost 8,000 people each
day come to Epic, but the
mayor has not been able to
lead downtown revitaliza-
tion, even with all those
potential customers within
our city limits. That is failed
leadership.
Epic is responsible for
enormous revenues for the
city, and yet our city taxes rise.
The mayor is overmatched
by municipal finance. That is
failed leadership.
Our surplus (made up
of your tax dollars) is many
times what our financial con-
sultants call for, and instead
of reducing the surplus, the
mayor supports raising your
taxes. That is failed leader-
ship.
Our Community Devel-
opment Authority, which
should be the engine firing
economic development in
Verona, has not even met
since the mayor took office.
That is failed leadership.
For me, however, the mea-
sure of the man is a vote the
mayor cast years ago, before
he was mayor, when he and
I were council members. I
sponsored a motion that the
City of Verona should com-
mit to providing space for
our food pantry. The council
voted 7 1 in favor of the
resolution. The only dissent-
er? Jon Hochammer. Judge a
man by what he does for the
neediest among us, not by
what he promises when he
seeks reelection. Lets make
Chad Kemp our next mayor.
Verona deserves better. You
deserve better. Chad will
make us all proud.

Bob Kasieta
City of Verona
Kemp will work with council to advance Verona
I attended Thursdays
mayoral debate between
Chad Kemp and Jon Hoch-
kammer.
First, Hochkammer told
us about many wonderful
aspects of Verona, each time,
implying he deserved credit
for them when, in many
cases, his involvement was
peripheral at best. For exam-
ple, he raved about the Vero-
na Public Library. However,
former Mayor Bob Kasieta
was a driving force behind
the new library, heading their
capital campaign and secur-
ing sufficient donations for
the librarys construction.
Similarly, he touted Epic,
which will, indeed bring
great tax benefits to Verona.
However, Epics 2005 move
to Verona was spearheaded
by others; Hochkammer was
not elected mayor until 2006.
Th e n Ho c h k a mme r
launched into criticisms
of the Common Council,
complaining that the past
year had been the most
contentious ever and blam-
ing that on the newest alders.
However, I would note the
Councils long list of accom-
plishments, a significant
number, the direct result of
those new alders. In 2013,
the Council approved two
Epic additions, Phase 5 of
the Scenic Ridge develop-
ment, the Velocity develop-
ment which includes a new
restaurant, new senior hous-
ing and market apartments
at Prairie Oaks, and a new
hotel that will bring room tax
dollars to the city. In addi-
tion, after listening to input
from neighbors, the Council
strengthened requirements
for developers and passed
new ordinances governing
developments. They also
added new positions in the
police and public works
departments and increased
senior center staff time. Not
bad for a contentious year.
Unfortunately, theres one
thing the Council did not
accomplish, thanks to Mayor
Hochkammer. Luke Diaz
proposed a $4,800 budget
amendment, in an $8 mil-
lion dollar budget, to provide
transportation for seniors
to attend events in the area.
Mayor Hochkammer voted
against it and the amend-
ment failed. So when Mayor
Hochkammer tells you how
much he cares about seniors,
as he did during the debate,
Id take that with a grain of
salt.
I think its time for some-
one in the mayors office
who can work with the coun-
cil in a non-adversarial fash-
ion, and who gives credit
where credit is due. Chad
Kemp is that person. He is a
small business owner, a fam-
ily man who attended Vero-
na schools his entire life, and
someone whos invested in
preserving the small town
values we all treasure.
Denise Beckfield
City of Verona
Downtown, fire fighter decisions make Kemp the better choice
Im writing in support of
Chad Kemp for mayor.
While his opponent has
claimed in a recent debate
that Verona residents know
and trust him, I strongly dis-
agree. I dont know the may-
or, I dont know the special
interest groups sending fliers
out on his behalf, and I cer-
tainly dont trust him.
The mayor has claimed
he can only break ties on
the city council. If this is the
case, the mayor was the tie-
breaking vote that led to an
open hire with our fire fight-
ers and a costly lawsuit (and
our firefighters now have no
idea what their job status will
be). The mayor was also the
tie-breaking vote that reject-
ed a $4,800 expenditure to
assist seniors who cannot
drive to the senior center.
I was also distressed by the
citys attempt to put roads
through downtown green
space without consulting
with the affected neighbor-
hoodand yet it echoes
the citys attempt to move
the community theater onto
donated park land without
involving neighborhood resi-
dents.
Given all of the above,
its clear the mayor does not
know me. If he did, he would
know I but dont want busi-
ness owners to read about
a plan affecting their liveli-
hoods in the newspaper. He
would know I want a full-
time fire department where
the firefighters are respected
and understood, not made to
reapply for jobs they already
had. I want a city govern-
ment that communicates in a
meaningful way before they
draw up plans for a commu-
nity theater and parking lot a
block from my house.
I also cant help but notice
that the mayor and some of
his supporters on the city
council have complained
about outside influences
in Verona elections. And
yet, the mayor is one of those
who is benefiting from a
group called A Better Dane
County who is sending liter-
ature to people on his behalf.
What Verona needs is a
fresh take from someone
who understands the issues at
hand and can provide strong
leadership that includes
strong communication with
the community. Chad came
to Verona in 1984 as a stu-
dent, is raising his fam-
ily here, is growing his law
practice here, and is strongly
invested in the community.
He has the support of known
groups and leaders who have
constituents right here in
Verona.
I look forward to voting
for Chad on April 1. I hope
you will too.
Melissa Kellor
City of Verona
Hochkammer has led city to responsible growth
I am support i ng Jon
Hochkammer for Mayor in
the upcoming election and
encourage readers to do the
same.
I have been a resident of
Verona for nine years. We
chose to raise our family
in Verona because it is an
excellent community and I
believe Jon is the right per-
son to continue leading it.
Over the years, he has
st ood f or r esponsi bl e
growth. Hes been a good
steward of our tax money,
which will be more impor-
tant with dollars coming
from the Epic TIF expira-
tion. He works with city
departments to appropri-
ately grow their staff and
increase their services. He
will welcome businesses
we can all use to keep more
of our dollars in Verona.
Whomever you support,
I implore you to get edu-
cated on local issues and
participate by voting on
April 1.
We need to knowingly
choose our path as a com-
munity, not just fall in line
with the choices of the
county or other cities in the
area.
Cristin Napier

Hochkammer fosters cooperation in Verona
In my 12 years of ser-
vice on the Verona Area
School Board I have seen
first hand the benefits of
cooperation between the
various bodies of local
government that make up
our school district.
Mayor Jon Hochkammer
has been in the forefront of
that spirit of cooperation
both in his service on our
Intergovernmental Devel-
opment Committee as well
as facilitating numerous
meetings between School
District and City of Verona
staff.
This has led to excellent
relationships in nearly all
phases of local govern-
ment. School and city staff
have jointly planned park
and recreation opportuni-
ties, coordinated road work
and salt supplies and used
equipment purchases.
Ci t y per sonnel have
worked on numerous plan-
ning sessions for future
school sites as we work
together to responsibly
manage the growth of our
community. School safety
has been enhanced by the
close cooperation between
Verona Pol i ce Depart -
ment and School District
personnel.
Mayor Hochkammer has
demonstrated his ability to
foster cooperation between
various stakeholders of all
political stripes. Respect
for all points of view is one
of the hallmarks of good
local government. Jon has
earned his opportunity to
continue this record of
leadership. Please join me
in voting for Jon Hoch-
kammer for mayor on
April 1.
Dennis Beres
City of Verona
Mayor will continue to lead city in right direction
One of the things I love
most about living in Vero-
na is the friendliness of my
neighbors, especially one
in particular Jon Hoch-
kammer. Imagine com-
ing home after one of this
years endless snowfalls
and finding the driveway
already cleared thanks to
Jon and his snowblower.
You cant beat a hard-
wor ki ng, cons i der at e
neighbor like that.
That drive to make the
neighborhood better is why
Jon is the type of strong
leader that makes Verona a
great place to live. Jon has
been serving Verona since
1997, first as an alderman
and as mayor for the last 8
years. During this time Jon
led efforts to responsibly
grow the citys boundaries,
adding both commercial
and residential real estate
while keeping the property
tax burden for all taxpay-
ers in check.
About a year ago, Jon
i ni t i at ed a pr ocess t o
engage citizens and busi-
ness owners in creating
a vision for the future of
Veronas downtown com-
mercial district. He is also
leading efforts to con-
struct a new station that
will house both the Verona
Fire Department and the
Fitchrona EMS Service.
The new station is a need-
ed step towards providing
24 hour full-time fire pro-
tection services.
Jon i s al so a ski l l ed
faci l i t at or. He remai ns
calm and polite during
city meetings which some-
time get a little heated. He
respects the knowledge
and expertise of city staff
and encourages implemen-
tation of their ideas.
For all these reasons and
more, I encourage you to
re-elect Jon Hochkammer
as Mayor of Verona on
April 1. He has my vote.
Dakota Miller
City of Verona
Hochkammer offers leadership, experience
Jon Hochkammer i s
clearly the best choice for
mayor of Verona in the
upcoming election.
Jon has been commit-
ted to public service in the
communities he has lived
since 1984 he is a devot-
ed public servant.
Jons experience and
leadership has been vital
to the Verona community.
After being elected to the
Verona City Council in
1997, Jons leadership was
quickly recognized, being
elected city council presi-
dent the following year.
Verona citizens continued
to recognize Jons leader-
ship by electing him mayor
of Verona in 2006.
Jon is a voice of rea-
son and compassion while
still advocating the goals
his sees most important
for Verona today and in
the future. He is a strong
advocate for public safety,
believes in valued future
devel opment , and wi l l
continue to work closely
with city departments to
keep city spending in line
- while keeping long-term
priorities in place.
I have been fortunate to
have seen public service
in Verona at a personal
level. My father, Keith
Simmons served as a Vil-
lage of Verona Trustee
and Vi l l age Presi dent .
My father-in-law, Richard
Doerfer, served as Town
of Verona board member
and Treasurer, as well as
an 18-year member of the
Verona Board of Educa-
tion - serving as President
a number of years. I was
able to see first-hand the
dedication, cooperation,
and leadership required to
serve this community.
Jon Hochkammer has
earned your vote for May-
or of Verona because expe-
rience and leadership mat-
ter.

Trust in the Lord
Given the uncertainty of so much in our lives, the advice to
trust in the Lord is almost always good advice. This is one
of my fathers favorite expressions, and while that gives me
a certain fondness for the expression, I must admit that I am
sometimes slightly irritated when told to trust in the Lord.
The irritation comes from the sense that we have given up
on solving the problem or issue ourselves and are relying
now on God to solve our problem. But given the feebleness
of most of our efforts, and the weakness of our minds to
grasp all the complexities of most situations, we certainly
need Gods help. It is usually pride, pride in our own efficacy
and our own understanding, which makes us think we can
solve our problems all by ourselves. There is nothing wrong
with being a good problem solver, and indeed, the better
we are at solving problems, the better our lives will be, both
at home and at work, but we should always still realize that
there are huge gaps in our understanding. We just dont
know what we dont know, but should trust that God has
everything under control.
Christopher Simon via Metro News Service
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on
your own understanding.

Badger Ridge Middle School
held its annual talent show
Thursday, March 13, in the Ruth
A. Heffron Gymnasium with
two shows one during school
hours and one in the evening.

There were 21 acts in total with
talents ranging from singing to
dancing to show jumping.

The talent show also featured an
art showcase of childrens work
during the school year.

The student winners (not pic-
tured) were Sydney Breitbach
(6th grade), Morgan Hayes (7th

Walters brings vast experience, repertoire
BILL LIVICK
Renowned pianist Teresa
Walters has performed in the
worlds great concert halls.
She earned her Doctorate
from the Peabody Conser-
vatory and was awarded an
international fellowship for
a year of study abroad at
the Paris Conservatoire. She
and her husband live in the
New York City area.
In recent years, Walters
has performed as a recitalist
and orchestral soloist on six
continents and in most of the
50 United States at venues,
including Carnegie Hall and
The Lincoln Center in New
York.
Walters will appear Sat-
urday in the Verona Area
Performing Arts Series, per-
forming material from a vast
repertoire of classical music.
Love r s of c l a s s i c a l
music for piano will have
an opportunity to witness
for themselves why Aus-
trian National Television
described Walters as that
rare musical phenomenon
and one of the world's most
significant pianists.
Although she was on tour
in Europe last month, Wal-
ters took a few moments via
email to answer some ques-
tions.
VP: Where did you grow
up and how did your inter-
est in piano get started?
Walters: I grew up on
a farm in the American
Midwest. I don't remem-
ber a time when I did not
play the piano. My parents
tell me that I began my love
affair with the piano at the
age of 4. We did not have
a piano at the time, but my
grandmother did. One day
when the adults had gath-
ered around the kitchen
table, a piece of music came
on the TV and I went to her
piano in the living room and
played it. The adults looked
at each other in great sur-
prise and said, "We didn't
know that she could play!"
Subsequently, my parents
arranged for me to begin
piano lessons.
VP: Was there a par-
ticular point in time when
you knew that you wanted
to become a concert pia-
nist?
Walters: I don't remem-
ber considering any other
options. I can honestly say
that I never really wanted
to become anything else.
Music quickly became cen-
trifugal to my life. Playing
the piano has always seemed
like an extension of myself
and a way for me to com-
municate with the world
without using words. I have
always loved the piano and
all of its expressive capabili-
ties.
VP: Was there a time
when you felt you had
made it? If so, can you
talk about reaching that
point, i.e., how long did it
take, and were there key
steps or events along the
way that stand out in your
mind?
Wal t er s : I nt er es t i ng
question but not so easy to
answer... I have obviously
set and reached some of the
goals that I dreamed about
as a child and as a student.
I'm very grateful for a pleth-
ora of events along the way
that stand out in my mind.
However, because this is
a field in which perfection
is never fully possible as
a human being, there are
always new heights to climb
and new horizons to chal-
lenge. Some of the profes-
sionals whom I most admire
in this field of classical
music (composers, conduc-
tors, pianists) have lived
into their 90's and continued
to grow and develop their art
for an entire lifetime. I am
inspired by their example
to keep growing, to keep
improving, to keep finding
new ways to share and to
serve the music that I love.
VP: How much of your
time is dedicated to tour-
ing and performing in an
average year?
Wal t ers: These days,
most of my average year is
dedicated to touring and to
performing. I try to take
off the months of July and
August to learn new music
for t he comi ng season.
Once September comes, it
is not unusual for me to play
two or three times a week
throughout the season.
VP: Are there high-
lights in your career that
are especially significant
and important, events that
truly stand out for you?
Walters: Well, obviously
concerts at New York's Lin-
coln Center and Carnegie
Hall come to mind, as well
as performances in Europe,
Russi a, Tokyo, Copen-
hagen, Beijing, Hungary,
South America and else-
where internationally. But I
also cherish the memories of
performing in some small-
er venues that are lesser
known. I have learned that
it is not the prestige of the
hall itself that is significant
but rather the magic that can
happen with any audience
at any time and in any place
through the music of the
world's great composers.
VP: What do you enjoy
most about performing?
Walters: I not only enjoy
performing; I actually love
the countless hours of prac-
tice!
I love the feeling of hav-
ing an orchestra at my fin-
gertips. I love knowing that
the music of the great com-
posers is an international
language and a timeless
legacy shared by the whole
world. I genuinely love
to travel and consider it a
privilege to share this music
around the country and
throughout the world. As a
child, I loved to read and to
study the map of the world.
Now I have the great bless-
ing of seeing those places
while sharing what I most
love to do. I also have the
joy of meeting many won-
derful people of all nation-
alities and backgrounds.

Students at four schools around the Verona Area School District recently showed off
their science knowledge with a mix of creativity at their schools science fairs. Stoner
Prairie Elementary, Glacier Edge Elementary, Core Knowledge and Savanna Oaks
Middle School all held their fairs in late February and early March. The rest of the
districts elementary schools will hold their fairs in the coming weeks.

PRESCHOOL
Q. My four year old hates to clean-up her toys and her
room is always a mess. Should I just let it go?
A. This is a common problem and its a great time to start
working on it. First of all, make sure your child has a simple
system that makes it possible to have a neater room. Be sure
you have provided some tubs, baskets, shelves etc. so there is a
place for everything to go. Dont overcrowd the room with too
many toys. Often as children get new toys we just keep adding them to the mix and it gets
impossible to maintain any type of order. Expect that at this age your child will need some
help and make it a game when you can. Some children enjoy racing a timer to see how much
can be picked up in 5 minutes, for example. Reward your child for their efforts to clean up
and allow for a learning curve.

Q. How can I make sure I dont get tripped up by the new, higher brackets?
A. With new taxes on investment income and wages, higher brackets, the return
of phase outs and the survival of the dreaded Alternative Minimum Tax, managing
tax brackets has become more complicated and more important in 2013 and
beyond. A large gain in single year youre selling your business for instance -
could put you in the maximum rate. If you could arrange to split the gain between
two or more tax years, you might avoid those high brackets, and a lot of tax.
Exempt investments such as municipal bonds and the income deferral offered by
annuities are more attractive when rates are higher. Roth IRAs are another potent
planning tool. Tax planning becomes a premium when rates go up. Give us a call
if you need help.

DENTIST
Q. Ive recently been diagnosed with diabetes. Are there any dental problems
that are associated with the disease?
A. People living with diabetes are vulnerable to a host of systemic issues,
the mouth and teeth are not immune. Many diabetics with oral problems go
undiagnosed until conditions become advanced. Infections, receding gums
and periodontal disease are common conditions among diabetics for several
reasons. Diabetes diminishes the bodys ability to fight off infection. Diabetes
also causes a thickening to occur in the blood vessels around teeth that make it
more difficult for the body to carry away harmful waste products. In addition,
blood sugar levels that are too high can lead to problems that promote cavities
and gum disease. As with any condition, good oral hygiene including regular
brushing and flossing is key. If a healthy glucose level can be maintained, most
major dental problems can be avoided.

PHYSICAL THERAPY
Q. I am interested in your opinion of scar tissue and the pain that can be caused by it. My scar
is over 3 years old. Can you still make changes to the scar?
A. A good rule of thumb is that normal tissue healing takes approximately 6-8 weeks. Scar
modication is able to begin around 2-4 weeks with signicant results throughout the remainder of the
healing process. However, once the tissues are fully healed (and the scar tissue has already formed), a
common misconception is that the scar will always be present. Not only is the person left with thick,
darkened scar tissue, they may also have blood vessels, nerves, muscles or other soft tissue trapped in
the scar. There may be chronic pain, lack of circulation, and muscle and soft tissue imbalance related to
the density of the scar tissue. Scar mobilization is an important, yet often overlooked, part of the healing
process. A skilled therapist will utilize modalities to prepare the tissue, then a series of skilled manual
techniques to modify the adhesions which cause the scar tissue. Signicant reduction in the thickness
and appearance of scar tissue is usually noticed within a few visits. Contact Stellar Rehab today to learn
more about the process of scar modication and relief of associated chronic pain.

CHIROPRACTOR
Q. I get pain in my jaw when I eat and it sometimes makes a clicking
noise. Is there anything a chiropractor can do to help?
A. Yes, and with great success. You are exhibiting two of the most common symptoms of
Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD). Other common symptoms include: headaches, dizziness,
limited ability to open the mouth, and a jaw that gets stuck. Some of the common causes include:
injuries to the head, neck or face from an accident or whiplash injury, stress, and clenching of the
teeth. In our ofce, we utilize Chiropractic Adjustments, Massage, and Rehabilitation Exercises to
treat TMD. Chiropractic treatment involves adjusting the joint between the jaw and the skull (TMJ).
This relieves pressure on the disc in that joint and allows the jaw to open and close properly, which
reduces pain and restores normal function. With specic adjustments to the spine and TMJ, chiropractic treatment restores proper
nervous system control of involved muscles and ligaments. Massage treatment to the affected muscles will reduce adhesions,
trigger points, and tension which are all factors that can be contributing to your symptoms. Lastly, we prescribe specic exercise
that works to strengthen and balance the muscles of the head and neck. We nd this 3-tiered approach to be most successful.

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

ATTORNEYS
Q. If I am called for jury duty, what should I expect?
A. While many people consider jury duty an inconvenience, it is one of the cornerstones
of this countrys justice system and plays a vital role in our society. Wisconsin law
requires that all citizens summoned for jury duty appear at the date/time specied unless
extraordinary circumstances exist. Not all persons actually summoned will serve on the
jury. If selected to serve on the jury, the judge will explain the rules of law that apply to
the case and explain the decisions jurors must make. While most of the trials receiving
national publicity last many weeks, the typical jury trial lasts only a day or two. There
is no worry to fear for your job if you have to appear for jury duty because state law
prevents an employer from terminating an employee for appearing for jury duty. While
state law does not require your employer to pay you, some employers compensate an
employee for time missed for jury duty. Every juror summoned for duty is paid a relatively small amount set by
the county board of not less than $16 per day of attendance and reimbursed for travel.

INVESTMENTS
Q. Filing taxes can be stressful, do you have any suggestions for people
during tax season?
A. First, max out on your IRA. You may be able to deduct some, or all, of
your contributions to a traditional IRA, which can grow tax-deferred. Roth IRA
contributions arent deductible, but your earnings grow tax-free, provided you
meet certain conditions. Also, put in as much as you can afford to your 401(k). The
more you contribute, the lower your taxable income. Also, earnings can grow on
a tax-deferred basis. One more suggestion: Avoid frequent buying and selling of
investments. Its not usually an effective investment strategy, and it can incur taxes
and fees. Your tax and nancial advisors can help you make the right moves. In
general, though, taxes, by themselves, shouldnt drive your investment decisions
but it doesnt hurt to look for tax-smart opportunities whenever possible.

SENIOR CARE
Q. What are the warning signs of glaucoma?
A. Glaucoma is a word we have all heard but as we age it becomes increasingly important to know what it means. In
knowledgeable circles it is called the sneak thief of sight, as this disease is the second leading cause of blindness in the
world, according to the World Health Organization. Risk factors for glaucoma increase if you are over the age of 60; are
Hispanic, African American or Asian; have diabetes as a result of being obese; have family members (especially siblings)
with glaucoma; or are very nearsighted. There are rarely symptoms or warning signs that indicate the presence of glaucoma,
most people do not realize there is a problem until loss of vision occurs. By this time, it is often too late. Up to 40% of your
vision can disappear without your realizing you have glaucoma. This vision loss, while avoidable through early diagnosis,
is irreversible once it presents itself. Early diagnosis of glaucoma is critical as there are treatments such as medicine or
surgery that can slow the progression of vision loss. The only way glaucoma can be detected is by regular comprehensive
eye exams, which should begin sometime within your middle-aged years. Because this disease is more common in people
over the age of 60, it is important that you discuss with your senior loved ones how crucial it is to have regular eye exams. Depending on your age, you
might decide to book your own appointment, as well. Find out if any family members have glaucoma and do research to determine if other risk factors are
present. Remember, early detection is critical in managing this disease and preventing complete vision loss. For more information, visit www.glaucoma.org.

Seniors getting savvy on
todays technology
SCOTT DE LARUELLE
In a world where technol-
ogy is changing so quickly
its hard for even young
adults to keep up, seniors
who grew up in the first
half of the 20th century
have a steep learning curve
in staying with the tech
times.
Thanks to help from area
senior centers, though, the
more experienced genera-
tions are getting their fair
share of knowledge about
iPads, Nooks and every-
thing in between.
Oregon Senior Center
assi st ant di rect or Anne
St one sai d t echnol ogy
classes at the center do
quite well with attendance
and are not limited to senior
citizens.
We focus on the inter-
net, and different things
you can do, she said. For
example, theres an online
selling class that teach-
ers you how to shop safety
online, and were focusing
more on that kind of thing.
The centers digital guru
is Milly McCartney, who
teaches courses on using
digital cameras, how to
protect your identity online,
exploring Smartphones,
navigating Windows opera-
tions and much more. Stone
said the center has become
a place where seniors are
comfortable asking lots of
questions and in some cas-
es, learning from scratch.
These are things that
seniors are forced to learn,
she sai d. Before, you
didnt have to worry about
onl i ne i dent i t y prot ec-
tion and learning all these
things, and all of a sudden,
this new technology comes
out.
Stone said senior center
patrons are asking for more
information on eReaders
and iPads many times to
connect with grandchildren
or even peers.
A lot of times, they
dont know what to ask for,
so we try to look ahead and
anticipate things that might
have issues with, she said.
Help from students
Senior centers in Stough-
ton and Verona have both
held technology classes
recently, with high school
students coming in to show
how to use a variety of
new devices. The Stough-
ton Senior Center hosts an
annual Technology Expo,
hel d i n January, where
seniors can pick up valu-
able information about cell
phones, Facebook, You-
Tube and more.
The idea came from the
Stoughton High School
Key Club, who had heard
of it from another school
district.
program director Chris Nye
said Verona High School
recently got a grant to pur-
chase iPads, and have been
sending students to the cen-
ter to help patrons learn
about the new electronic
Senior centers thrive because of helping hands
SCOTT DE LARUELLE
Dane County is well-known as
a great place in which to live, work
and retire. One main reason is the
quality of people residing in these
parts, and nowhere else is that shown
more clearly than by the people who
volunteer their time at senior centers.
With its unique Nordic architec-
ture style, the Stoughton Senior Cen-
ter is a landmark on Main Street and
a definite hot spot for area seniors,
with programs seemingly going on
non-stop. Judy Bethke found out all
about it when she recently moved to
the area, looking for something to
do.
I came to town a year ago, wid-
owed and lonely and not knowing
anyone, she said. I came in here
and they grabbed me right away and
said, We need you at the reception
desk.
Bethke has a varied work back-
ground, with experience as a
business professional and a nursing
school graduate, so she found she
quickly took to the work of a recep-
tionist.
I do every Thursday after-
noon and as needed, if they
cal l me up, s he s ai d.
Sitting by the desk, you get to see
everybody and direct them and talk
on the phone, she said. Its very
nice here, I have good friends
everyones friendly. I never thought
of myself as a senior citizen, but I
guess I am.
When Ruby Hauge retired 1989
from her career as a librarian and
teacher, she said she was looking
for a change, which she found at the
senior center.
I was ready for older people, I
had enough of kids, so thats what
drew me to this, she chuckled.

i mpor t ant concer n, f or
without health what do we
have? As we age, our focus
is on saving money for
retirement, building a net
for unforeseen problems
and working for the future.
Are we focusing on what
is most important - our
health? In America, our
heal t h care syst em has
been described as anything
but healthy. It is time we
spend some time focusing
on taking control of our
health. Integrative medi-
cine is the lens through
which we can focus, and
we can have integrative
medicine at our fingertips
to build a healthy future.
I nt egr at i ve medi ci ne
is a holistic movement,
which has left its imprint
on many of the nations
hospitals, universities and
medi cal school s. Doc-
tors and patients alike are
bonding with the philoso-
phy of integrative medi-
cine, which is designed to
treat the person, not just
the disease.
IM, as its often called,
depends on a par t ner -
ship between the patient
and the doctor, where the
goal is to treat the mind,
body and spirit - all at the
same time. In the effort
to treat the whole person,
I M combi nes conven-
tional Western medicine
with complementary treat-
ments such as acupuncture,
herbal medicine, massage,
tai chi, qi gong, yoga and
meditation.
Today, we have t he
power to take our health
into our own hands. There
are many tools out there to
do this, and the more we
learn, the better off we can
be.
In a recent survey, the
National Center for Com-
plementary and Alterna-
tive Medicine (part of the
National Institutes
of Health) found
41 percent of peo-
pl e 60-69 years
old, 32 percent of
t hose 70-84 and
nearly 25 percent
of people 85 and
older used some
kind of integrative
medicine.
The most com-
mon barrier isnt
lack of awareness or infor-
mation, or an unwilling-
ness t o t ry new t hi ngs.
The biggest obstacle for
seniors, particularly those
on a fixed income, is cost,
as many health insurance
pl ans do not cover t he
full range of IM treatment
options. There are possibil-
ities for getting the health
you deserve, and options to
take your health into your
own hands, though.
Non-profit and Commu-
nity Acupuncture clinics
are offering treatments to
fit into any budget. Herbal
Medicine is very afford-
able, and extremely effec-
tive. Tai chi, qi gong, and
yoga classes are offered all
over, and many are free.
Meditation can be done
anywhere, anytime, it costs
nothing, but has an amaz-
ing power.
Ta k e c o n t r o l
of your heal t h,
boost the efficacy
of your medicine
and be your best
through IM. The
options are end-
less, and it is time
you get the health
advant ages you
deserve. Ask your
doctor about what
p r o g r a ms t h e y
have to offer, or call your
local acupuncturist to find
out more how you can live
a healthier life.
Even though our health-
car e syst em may be a
mess, there is light show-
ing the way to a balance
west er n medi ci ne wi t h
eastern medicine. There is
a way to have health and
wellness, and you can have
it now.

No one, regardless of age, is
immune to random bouts of mem-
ory loss.
While misplaced car keys or for-
getting items on your grocery list
are nothing to get worked up over,
many people over 50 do start to
worry about memory lapses, espe-
cially when they start to occur with
more frequency.
But while memory loss might
be quickly associated with aging,
increased forgetfulness is not
an inevitable side effect of get-
ting older, a fact that those at or
approaching retirement age should
find comforting.
Its important to recognize the
distinction between memory laps-
es and dementia.
As a person ages, their hippo-
campus - the region of the brain
involved in the formation and
retrieval of memories - often dete-
riorates, affecting how long it takes
to learn and recall information.
But just because this process is
slower does not mean its a warn-
ing sign of dementia, which is the
loss of certain mental functions,
including memory.
While dementia brought on by
conditions such as Alzheimers
disease or Parkinsons disease is
untreatable, there are things people
can do to strengthen their memo-
ries and reduce their momentary
lapses in memory.
Start playing games
Games that test the mind have
long been believed to benefit the
brain.
A recent National Institute on
Aging study found brain games
may pay numerous and long-term
dividends. Nearly 700 healthy
volunteers older than 40 were
divided into four groups: one
played computerized crossword
puzzles while the other three
played a brain training video game
designed to enhance the speed and
accuracy of visual processing.
They showed less decline in
visual processing, concentra-
tion, memory and the ability to
shift quickly between tasks. The
benefits from the training games
lasted as long as seven years after
training.
Brain games are now more
accessible than ever before, as
players can access games on their
smartphones, tablets, eReaders,
and computers.
Alter your routine
Many working professionals
recognize each day tends to have
its mundane moments. Altering
your daily routine can jar the brain
awake, forcing it to focus during
those times that had become mun-
dane but now present new chal-
lenges.
Something as simple as alternat-
ing driving routes to work from
day to day or preparing some
new, yet healthy, breakfast each
morning can help the brain stay
alert and sharp.
Become a social butterfly
Maintaining a social life as you
age is a great way to keep in touch
with friends and family, but its
also healthy.
A 2008 study published in the
American Journal of Public Health
found older women who main-
tained large social networks were
26 percent less likely to develop
dementia than those with smaller
social networks.
In addition, those who had daily
contact with friends and family cut
their risk of dementia by nearly
half. The study also noted that
regular social interaction can delay
or possibly even prevent cognitive
impairment.
Continue your career
While retiring poolside and
watching the world go by might
seem nice, its not necessar-
ily good for your brain. Numerous
studies have shown the benefits
that staying engaged in profes-
sional activities can have on brain
health.
The brain does not thrive if its
sitting on the sideline. Staying
active in your career will contin-
ue to provide the challenges your
brain needs to stay sharp and avoid
memory loss and struggles with
concentration.
Men and women who want to
leave office life behind can branch
out on their own and work as
consultants or put their years of
experience to use by teaching at a
nearby university or at a secondary
school.
Memory loss not an automatic side effect of aging
Staying socially active after 50 can benefit the brain and even reduce a persons risk of dementia.

T
he days when professionals would
spend their entire professional lives
with a single firm are largely a thing
of the past.
In fact, many people not only switch
companies multiple times before retire-
ment, but some even switch professions
before retiring.
As exciting as it can be to pursue a new
career, men and women over 50 know
that such a decision is not without risk.
While younger professionals with few
obligations can often handle bumps in the
road on their way to a second career, old-
er professionals must consider the poten-
tial effects such a pursuit might have
on their families, finances and futures,
including their retirements.
But as difficult as it may seem to pur-
sue a second career after your fiftieth
birthday, there are steps people over 50
can take when pursuing a new career to
ensure their second act is as successful as
the first.
Decide what you want
The desire to pursue a second career no
doubt stems from more than just dissatis-
faction with a current profession.
Many peopl e swi t ch j obs or even
careers because they find their current
careers too demanding, leaving little time
for family or hobbies that have nothing to
do with work.
If what you really want is more time at
home or more time to pursue a particu-
lar hobby, then keep this in mind when
looking for a second career, and make
sure that career wont demand too much
of your time.
Assess your skillset
Professionals over 50 have lots to offer,
but its still important for them to make
an honest assessment of their skillset and
find a career in which those skills are
transferable.
Some might want to pursue a second
career that will make little to no use of
their skillset, but extra schooling might
be necessary and going back to school
often requires a considerable commit-
ment of time and money.
For those who want to put existing
skills to use in a different field or envi-
ronment, assess those skills and look for
lines of work in which they figure to be
especially valuable.
Established professionals over 50 have
many transferable skills, and such skills
can be a considerable asset when pursu-
ing a second career.
Make a trial run
Nowhere does it say that professionals
cant take a trial run at a second career
while still fully engaged in their first
career.
In fact, testing the waters before you
jump in is a good way to gauge your
interest in a potential second career and
how well your skillset applies to that
field.
This conducted with volunteering for a
nonprofit organization or a part-time job
or internship that can shed light on the
inner workings of a particular industry.
Testing the waters may reaffirm that a
certain line of work is for you, or might
send you back to the drawing board.
Either way, its valuable experience.
Dont do it alone
Switching careers after 50 carries some
risk, but its certainly one many have
been willing to take.
If you know anyone who has reinvented
themselves professionally, talk with them
and ask for advice. Those who have faced
a similar fork in the road may be able to
help you narrow down your options.
The notion of changing careers is excit-
ing, and you can expect your personal
and professional confidantes to share
your excitement and be willing to help
you in any way they can.
Making a career change after 50 can be
a risky yet ultimately rewarding move,
especially for those men and women who
take a thoughtful approach to finding
their second careers.
Many men and women over 50 have turned their personal passions into successful second careers.
Starting your second act
How to choose your next career
Financial considerations for those nearing retirement
Retirement can simultane-
ously excite and distress men
and women as they approach
the day when they end their
careers. Anticipating the free-
dom can be exciting, while
concerns about maintaining
financial independence can
be stressful.
Though there are no guar-
antees that men and women
who prioritize retirement
planning will not outlive
their finances, those who do
arrange their priorities in such
a manner are far more likely
to enjoy a comfortable retire-
ment without worrying about
their finances.
As men and women
approach retirement age, cer-
tain steps with regard to pre-
paring for retirement can put
them in position to enjoy their
golden years to the fullest.
Assess your
resources
An honest assessment of
your assets will help you
determine a retirement life-
style you can afford. Assets
can include any property you
own, investments, savings,
and retirement accounts.
Your property may be your
biggest financial asset, but
unless you plan to sell that
property or take out a reverse
mortgage, then you wont be
able to rely on that property
to fund your lifestyle.
When assessing resourc-
es, keep in mind that you
might have to pay potentially
steep taxes when attempt-
ing to access any retirement
accounts, such as a 401(k).
Factor in any such taxes
when assessing your retire-
ment resources.
Make a list of
monthly expenses
Once you have assessed
your resources, make a list of
your monthly bills. Mortgage
payments, healthcare costs,
taxes, and food are among
the essentials, while addition-
al expenses like travel and
entertainment will need to be
factored in as well.
When considering month-
ly expenses, keep in mind
that some of those expenses,
including mortgage pay-
ments and commuting costs,
will likely disappear, while
others, including healthcare
costs, are likely to increase
significantly.
Once you have assessed
your resources and expenses,
you can then begin to paint a
picture of the retirement life-
style you can afford to live.
Compare the lifestyle
you want versus the
one you can afford
Considering your financ-
es several years before you
retire affords you the oppor-
tunity to make changes if you
determine the retirement you
can afford does not exactly
match up with the retirement
you want to live.
After you have figured
out what you can afford,
compare that lifestyle to the
one you hope to live. If nec-
essary, consult with a finan-
cial planner, who might be
able to help turn your dream
retirement into a reality.
Closing the gap between
your dream retirement and
the one you can afford to live
may require you to work an
extra year or two, so be pre-
pared to make that decision if
need be.
Plan on continuing to
grow your money
Just because youre retiring
does not mean your money
has to stop working as well.
You will still need to com-
bat inflation during your
golden years, so plan on con-
tinuing to grow your money
even after you retire. Though
its best to reduce invest-
ment risks as you age, many
retirees still need to keep a
toe in the investment waters.
Find a balance youre com-
fortable with so your money
continues to grow, but be
conservative at the same
time.
As you grow older, contin-
ue to reduce your risk. While
conventional wisdom long
suggested retirees should
completely eliminate risk
from their portfolios, todays
retirees are living longer than
ever before, so you likely
cant afford to follow the
advice of yesteryear.
As retirement draws closer,
men and women must start
making important finan-
cial decisions to ensure their
nest eggs can support the
lifestyles they want to live
throughout t hei r gol den
years.

Changing your diet: five foods for the over 50 crowd
M
en and women must alter their
diets as they age. Portion sizes
that young adults might have
been able to get away must shrink when
those they enter their 30s. And as thirty-
somethings head into their 40s, whats on
the plate requires more careful consider-
ation than it might have a decade ago.
The same goes for men and women over
50, who must take steps to reduce their risk
for heart disease, stroke and diabetes. One
of the easiest ways to do just that is to eat
healthy foods. The following are five fla-
vorful and healthy foods tailor-made for
the over 50 crowd:
Apples
Appl es defi ni t el y qual i fy
as a superfood, helping reduce
cholesterol by prevent-
ing plaque build-
up in the blood
vessels and, as
a result cutting
an individuals
risk of diabe-
tes consider-
ably. A recent
study published
in the British Medical Journal found that
eating at least two servings of apples per
week can reduce a persons risk of type 2
diabetes by as much as 23 percent. Apples
also make for a great source of fiber, potas-
sium and vitamin C.
Blueberries
Blueberries help men and women main-
tain healthy blood sugar levels because
they are high in
soluble fiber,
which low-
ers cholester-
ol while slow-
ing the bodys uptake of
glucose.
And despite their relatively
small size, blueberries contain more fiber,
vitamins and minerals per ounce than any
other fruit.
Broccoli
This powerful green vegetable
is loaded with vitamin C - a sin-
gle 3.5-ounce serving contains
more than 150 percent of the rec-
ommended daily intake - which
can shorten the duration of the common
cold.
A study published last year in Medical
News Today found broccoli may help pre-
vent osteoarthritis, a degeneration of joint
cartilage and the underlying bone that is
most common from
middle age onward.
A similar study
from researchers at
New Yorks Roswell
Park Cancer Institute
published in the same pub-
lication six years earlier
found that just three serv-
ings of broccoli per month
can decrease bladder cancer
risk by as much as 40 percent.
Fava beans
Cholesterol-free and low in fat, fava
beans also may provide cardio-
vascular benefits and help men
and women maintain healthy
weights.
Fava beans are considered
nutrient-dense, a term used to describe
low-calorie foods that boast lots of nutri-
ents, and are an excellent
source of vitamin B1,
whi ch i s i mport ant
for nervous system
function and energy
metabolism.
Wh e t h e r y o u
choose to enjoy them
with a nice Chianti, is
of course, completely up
to you.
Oatmeal
Another
food that
might never
make young-
sters lists of
their favorite
foods, oatmeal
is nonetheless a healthy option at the breakfast
table.
Oatmeal is loaded with soluble fiber, which
can reduce cholesterol levels and subsequently
reduce a persons risk of heart disease.
Also low in calories, oatmeal can help men
and women maintain a healthy weight. Those
who find oatmeal a tad too bland for their
tastes can double on their superfoods by add-
ing some blueberries into the mix, making their
breakfast more flavorful and more healthy.

A recipe a day keeps
the doctor away
If you arent into eating these foods
by themselves, here are a few recipes
to add some spice into your healthy
lifestyle.
BLUEBERRIES AND APPLES
Slice some apples, add cinnamon
and bake for 20 minutes on 350
degrees with a little goat cheese or
brie to make a healthy dessert.
You can also add sliced apples and
blueberries to oatmeal.
BROCCOLI
Add a little garlic, Parmesan and
olive oil and roast in the oven for
20 minutes at 350 degrees, and you
have a tasty side dish for dinner.
FAVA BEANS
Spruce up the original Bruschetta
with fava beans, avocado and mixed
greens for an interesting appetizer.

Not just for youngsters
D
esigned to promote
physical and men-
tal health, yoga
has helped millions of
people control their stress
and improve their flexibil-
ity, and its only growing in
popularity.
According to a study,
roughly 20 million Ameri-
cans practiced yoga in 2012, a
29 percent increase from just
four years earlier. While some
men and women over 50 may
feel their time to take up yoga
has passed, nothing could be
further from the truth.
In fact, yoga can pay
numerous dividends for the
over 50 crowd.
Alleviate hypertension
Also known as high blood
pressure, hypertension is a
potentially dangerous condi-
tion that makes the heart work
harder to pump blood to the
body.
Hypertension contributes
to a hardening of the arter-
ies known as atherosclerosis,
and can even contribute to the
development of heart failure.
A persons risk of developing
hypertension increases as he
or she ages.
A normal blood pressure
is 120 over 80, but people
with hypertension often have
blood pressure readings of
140 and above over 90 and
above.
Studies have shown that
yoga can reduce the top num-
ber, which is referred to as the
systolic blood pressure.
In a study published in the
Journal of Clinical Hyper-
tension, researchers found
people who practiced yoga
for six hours a week for 11
weeks reduced their systolic
blood pressure by 33 points,
and that yogas controlled
breathing decreases nervous
system activity, helping the
body manage its blood pres-
sure levels.
Help maintain healthy
weights
While yoga may not help
men and women shed weight
as effectively as more vig-
orous activities, it can help
t hem mai nt ai n heal t hy
weights.
Many men and women
over 50 find vigorous or
strenuous physical activity
too demanding, and might
not be able to perform such
activities with the frequency
necessary to prevent weight
gain.
But while yoga is physi-
cally demanding, those who
practice yoga often find it
takes a smaller toll on their
bodies than more traditional
strength training.
Yoga can also help to
relieve stress, reducing the
likelihood people will over-
eat, which is a common
response to elevated stress
levels.
Promote strong bones
Osteoporosis is a medical
condition in which tissue loss
leads to brittle and fragile
bones. Aging is a significant
risk factor, and women are at
even greater risk than men,
and can lose up to 20 percent
of their bone mass in the five
to seven years after meno-
pause.
The nature of yoga makes
it an ideal activity to promote
healthy bones.
Because it is a weight-
bearing exercise, yoga forc-
es practitioners to hold the
weight of their bodies up
against gravity, putting mild
stress on the bones, which
respond by laying down new
bone growth.
But unlike other weight-
bearing activities, such as
jogging or walking, yoga
does not damage cartilage
or put stress on the joints.
The AARP notes that studies
have indicated the weight-
bearing activity of yoga can
be especially effective at
reducing the risk of osteo-
porosis in postmenopausal
women.
Though yoga might not
have been popular when
todays men and women
over 50 were in their 20s and
30s, that does not mean such
men and women cannot take
advantage of the numerous
physical and mental benefits
yoga has to offer.

When she found out the
receptionist was retiring,
Hauge was recruited for the
position, one she enjoyed tre-
mendously. These days, her
main expertise is decorating
tables.
It was a wonderful job and
fun, because there were so
many things going on, she
said. I was also a driver, and
sometimes Id drive two or
three times a week, because
we didnt have enough driv-
ers. Ive been in just about
every aspect of the senior cen-
ter. If people are very good
at something, well tap their
expertise.
Mary Rowe started volun-
teering at the center after she
recently retired, and puts her
artistic skills to work by writ-
ing up birthday cards for vol-
unteers and helping sort items
donated to the center for sale.
I had time on my hands
and wanted to give back to the
community, she said.
Plenty of need
Even at the Verona Senior
Center, where 70 people vol-
unteer and count their hours
on a regular basis, with anoth-
er 30-40 helping out as need-
ed, there is always room for
more assistance. Center direc-
tor Mary Hanson said people
can help out with a wide
variety of duties everything
from baking cookies to driv-
ing people to medical appoint-
ments.
We have a regular core of
people, she said. Verona
Area Active Adults does a
huge amount of service for the
senior center, and they raise
funds for some of our pro-
grams and they are here help-
ing out in many, many capaci-
ties, especially when there are
large events here.
Claire Anderson has vol-
unteered at the Verona Senior
Center since 2010, helping
to prepare and serve lunches,
meet people, pop popcorn and
help with the euchre games,
birthday dinners and anniver-
sary dinners.
I just wear many hats,
she said. We can use volun-
teers anytime. If you sign up
for something and cant make
it, you dont have to feel the
pressure to be here. You can
come and go as you please.
Dorothy Schwenn said she
likes that volunteers can pick
whatever activities theyd like
to help with.
I like euchre and play-
ing poker here, but there are
a lot of different roles, she
said. We take people in as
we get them, and show them
the ropes. For me, its a lot of
fun, and I truly, truly enjoy the
people here. If I didnt enjoy
it, I wouldnt do it.
For the past 15-20 years,
nobody has been helping out
more than Bob Syvrud, who
has driven people to medical
appointments and delivered
meals around the area in all
kinds of weather, While he
doesnt do as much as he used
to, he still enjoys the feeling of
helping out, particularly when
it can be difficult to find driv-
ers.
Ive put in about 5,000
hours by now, he said.
gadgets. The help and
the students have been a
big hit at the center, which
will host three sessions this
year.
The topics center around
the use of iPads how to
search for information on
the Internet, take and edit
photos, and learn how to
use the seemingly end-
less amount of apps now
available.
The people who have
come in for it have really
appreciated it and liked it,
Nye said. It has helped
that group of seniors to be
more aware and able to
use iPads that otherwise
wouldnt have been able
to or had enough hands-on
and one-on-one assistance
to learn it.

Senior Adam Stiner, pictured here getting his teammates pumped up during a varsity game this season, signed a National Letter of Intent in February to play tackle for the
Division I FCS University of North Dakota.
FCS Bound
ANTHONY IOZZO
Assistant sports editor
A winning culture is something
Verona Area High School football
players come into due to the recent
success of the program, with only
two losing seasons since 2003.
But for senior offensive line-
man Adam Stiner, who signed a
National Letter of Intent to play at
the University of North Dakota in
February, what excites him most
about being able to play for a Divi-
sion I FCS program is that he has
a chance to be the one that builds
that culture.
I want to help the rest of my
freshman recruiting class build a
winning culture, which is some-
thing North Dakota have been
used to but for the past few years
hasnt been around, Stiner said.
North Dakota had a shake up in
2013 when the coaching staff was
fired, and Bubba Schweigert was
hired as the new head coach.
Stiner was actually offered a
scholarship in July of 2013 before
the staff was fired, and they
stopped talking to him due to the
need for a new coaching staff.
However, when the staff was
finally set, Stiner said they con-
tacted him right away to set up
official visits. Still, with visits
to Minnesota State-Mankato and
South Dakota State, North Dakota
was beginning to fall off Stiners
radar.
But that changed when he met
the new staff. Photo submitted

Assistant sports editor
The Verona Area High School
boys basketball team had an
exciting run to the sectional
semifinal, nearly earning a spot
in the final this season.
But after a rough middle part
of the season and a stacked Big
Eight Conference, the best the
Wildcats could get on the all-
conference list was a second
teamer in sophomore guard
Cole Schmitz and two honorable
mentions in senior guard Mitch
Flora and junior guard Will Kell-
erman.
It was difficult because I
nominated all five of my start-
ers because I felt that at some
point, all of them were deserv-
ing, head coach Alan Buss said.
I wasnt surprised by Cole. He
was our leading scorer.
Schmitz led all Wildcats with
375 points this season. He shot
over 50 percent and also was
over 35 percent with 3-point
shooting.
Schmitz minus the double
overtime sectional semifinal
against Sun Prairie which wasnt
added to the end-of-the-year
stats yet also finished with 77
rebounds and 54 assists.
Seniors Darrlyn Willis (Madi-
son Memorial), Malik Clements
(Madison West), Derek Rongs-
tad (Middleton) and Jerry Ngobi
(Janesville Craig) and junior
Nick Noskowiak (Sun Prairie) all
earned first-team honors.

I was getting close to
make a decision not to go
there, but after going there
and seeing how much the
players believed in the
new coaching staff and
how much the coaching
staff believed in them-
selves really pushed me
over t he edge, St i ner
said.
North Dakota moved to
Division I in 2008 after
winning a national cham-
pionship in Division II in
2001 and finishing runner-
up in 2003, as well as win-
ning its conference five
times from 2000-2008.
Since the move to Divi-
sion I, North Dakota has
one conference t i t l e i n
2011 and none since they
move to the Big Sky Con-
ference.
Stiner said he hopes to
help bring back the older
days when North Dakota
was relevant every year.
The road to Division I
When Stiner started his
road to the varsity team at
Verona, he said he never
pi ct ured t hat he woul d
one day go to a Division I
school.
But he said that the road
to this point actually start-
ed back in the youth cir-
cuit and later was honed
by Verona head coach
Dave Richardson and the
rest of the Wildcat coach-
ing staff.
Even t hrough yout h
football, they teach you
to do the small things,
Stiner said. You are tech-
nically corrected at first so
you can build on that and
become a great football
player. And the coaches
really know how to indi-
vi dual i ze pl ans l i ke, i f
they see me doing some-
thing a freshman is doing,
they will harp on me.
But (Verona) bui l ds
football players. I have
been gifted with size, and
t hey saw t hat si ze and
hel ped me ut i l i ze i t t o
become a great football
player.
Stiners 6-foot, 6-inch,
280-pound si ze earned
two All-Big Eight Confer-
ence first-team selections
and an All-Area honor-
able mention at Verona.
And t hat i s somet hi ng
North Dakota was look-
ing for, with Stiner joining
three other offensive line
recruits that are at least
6-1 and 200 pounds.
Al t hough t he si gni ng
is beginning to settle in
wi t h summer workout s
and fal l camps get t i ng
closer, Stiner said it still
sometimes seems mind-
boggling.
I didnt think I would
be a Division I football
player, but through hard
work, I got t o a poi nt
where I had a chance, and
coach (Dave) Richardson
and the rest of his coach-
i ng st aff real l y hel ped
pushed me and made me
become a bet t er f oot -
ball player. I have been
blessed to be able to play
football at the next level.
Ready to play
Af t e r t he c oa c hi ng
changes at North Dakota,
there were players that de-
committed or left the pro-
gram. Those lower num-
bers could allow Stiner to
see playing time as early
as next season.
But if that doesnt work
out, he plans on red-shirt-
ing and trying to better
himself for a chance at
more playing time the next
four years. Stiner said he
plans on asking lots of
questions, practicing and
l ear ni ng t i me- manage-
ment skills to have extra
time for studying film.
It also wont hurt that
the players around Stiner
and the competition he
might face will potentially
contain a couple of future
NFL players.
I am going to have peo-
ple around me every week
that have a chance to tech-
nically go pro, so I know I
will be around some very
good football players,
Stiner said. I will have
to raise my level to theirs
if not above it, so I can be
competing with them on
the field.
The thought of walking
out on the field on open-
ing day is one thing Stiner
has been trying to pic-
ture in his head. He actu-
ally saw his brother play
at North Dakota when he
was on Minnesota State-
Mankato.
I saw the game culture
when it was a Division II
school and feel like it will
be even more intense as
a Division I school, he
said.

ville Craig) and juniors Sha-
reef Smith (Madison Memo-
rial) and Cortez McCree

Flora, Kellerman earn
honorable mentions
The Wildcats added two
honorable mentions to the
list in Flora and Kellerman.
Flora finished out his
high school career with 255

percent from the field and
picked up 105 rebounds, 56

Tackett, Toman left out
Senior forward John Tack-
et and junior forward Jake
Toman did not earn a spot on
the all-conference list despite
also putting up big numbers
this season.
There was so much depth
in the conference, so I left it
up to the other teams to vote
and they had difficult deci-
sions too, Buss said. ... John
and Jake played their best
basketball at the latter part of
the season which shows how
much they improved.
Tackett finished with
228 total points and shot 48
percent from the field (not
including the final game). He
had 164 rebounds, 101 assists
and 25 steals. Toman was

Downing is a great representative for Dist. 30
It is fitting that the Sugar
River Watershed encom-
passes so much of Pat
Downings county board
district. Defending the
quality of water, as well as
the overall environment,
are cornerstone accom-
plishments of his time in
office. Downing under-
stands that it is the qual-
ity of life, which keeps his
constituents firmly planted
in the 30th district.
The Town of Spring-
dale in which we reside
in has benefited by stream
restorations. The Stewart
Lake project gave new life
to the park. Bellevilles
Lake Belle View restora-
tion project will greatly
improve the water qual-
ity of both stream and
lake. Our county board
supervisor, Pat Downing,
supported all of these proj-
ects.
It is wonderful that Pat
has brought his passion for
environmental stewardship
to the board; it is also great
that his passion to protect
and defend the local envi-
ronment is not limited to
his county board service.
He also spent four years as
the director and president
of the Upper Sugar River
Watershed.
Of course, there are oth-
er accomplishments, which
are notable on Pats politi-
cal resume. Among them
are highway restoration,
increased law enforce-
ment, revisions in zoning
ordinances, fighting to
retain local authority, and a
fight to give Dane County
voters a voice on the issue
of moneyed politics. All of
these were accomplished
with skills honed from 24
years of service as a local
town chairman.
Our support and votes
will again be with Pat
Downing. We urge others
to do likewise.
The election is Tues-
day, April 1. Pats district
includes the villages of
Mt. Horeb and Belleville,
as well as the Towns of
Springdale, Perry, Prim-
rose and Montrose.
Tim and Karen White
Town of Springdale
Kemp is determined to put Verona on the right track
Chad Kemp is running
for mayor of Verona and he
deserves your vote.
Ive known Chad for over
twenty years and can tell
you that his connection with
and care for Verona both
run deep. Chad is an exem-
plary product of the Verona
Area School District. After
completing his undergradu-
ate work and obtaining his
law degree from the Uni-
versity of Wisconsin in
Madison, he chose to move
back to Verona with his
wife, Nicole, to raise his
two boys, Elliott and Kel-
len, due in no small part to
his first-hand knowledge of
the excellence of Verona
schools.
Chad is hard-working and
involved, both with his fam-
ily and with the community.
Chances are you already
know him. Youve seen him
at city meetings or youve
met him at your doorstep.
Chad values transpar-
ency, honesty and clear
communication. Hes a man
of action, favoring proac-
tive solutions as opposed
to knee-jerk reactions. Hes
financially responsible and
knowledgeable and is well-
versed in regards to where
Verona stands now and
where were going in the
future.
And lets not kid our-
selves; as the fastest grow-
ing city in the entire state,
its important to embrace
the fact that with growth
comes change. Change can
be scary, but is often neces-
sary to make things better.
Chad has an intimate
knowledge of what makes
Verona unique and under-
stands the importance of
keeping that aspect of
our city intact, while also
embracing the change inevi-
table with growth. He val-
ues the downtown area and
all that comes with it; the
continued success of current
business owners, the safety
of our citizens as they walk
and bike in the area, the
ability to travel safely and
efficiently.
He also realizes that
Verona is more than just the
downtown area. Every citi-
zen of Verona has a voice
and deserves to be heard
and I know for a fact Chad
agrees and has a listening
ear to lend.
At the debate last week,
Mayor Hochkammer point-
ed out that hes been elected
seven years in a row. What
he failed to mention was
that, since he ran unopposed
every year, the people of
Verona had no other choice.
This year we do.
Vote for Chad Kemp for
an even better Verona.
Ryan Haack
City of Verona
looking for ways to ramp
up pr ogr ammi ng at an
increasingly busy center.
The Madison native has
lived in Stoughton for the
past several decades, where
she volunteers at the his-
torical society and library.
She spent the early part of
her career in sales and mar-
keting, selling everything
from sewing machines and
vacuum cleaners to adver-
tising to real estate, when
her life took a sharp turn
in 1986 when her moth-
er began t o experi ence
the devastating effects of
Alzheimers.
After nine long years,
Hanson watched as her
mother deteriorated inch by
inch before her eyes, ago-
nizingly beyond her help.
Its a real challenge, she
said. It can be stressful and
emotionally its very, very
hard, because heres some-
one you love, and there are
all these changes, and you
can do nothing to stop it.
Depending when you saw
her and what was going on,
you may have thought she
was fine, or you may have
realized things were dread-
fully wrong.
In 1992, a family friend
who was like a second
mother to Hanson and her
siblings was in a nursing care
facility in Verona, and Han-
son acted as her health care
power of attorney, in the pro-
cess gaining some insights.
There were so many
warm, wonderful, kind, help-
ful people along the way,
she said. Then, when (her
mother) passed away and our
good friend passed away, I
really wanted to do some-
thing in my world, that made
a difference, that was more
humanistic than sales.
Except all her skills were
sales.
What can you do with a
sales business background
and work with seniors?
Hanson asked.
New beginning
She began by working in
marketing and admissions
for a senior community; the
start of a new career she feels
her mother, in part, guided
her to.
Its a big shift, and I loved
it, Hanson said. I under-
stood what families were
going through and it was
really helpful background to
work with people.
She was determined to
make the most of her oppor-
tunity, and while raising a
family, went back to school
part time for nearly a decade
to earn a business degree,
graduating within a year of
her daughter (one semes-
ter earlier), to the delight of
them both.
I realized I needed more
knowledge, Hanson said.
It was the smartest thing I
ever did.
Th e c o mp a n y wa s
$100,000 in the hole every
month before she arrived,
and four months later, they
were breaking even. Her
business knowledge was
paying off, and she was
learning the ropes of senior
care.
Now, as the new leader
of the Verona Senior Cen-
ter, Hanson is beginning by
focusing on listening and
facilitating.
The most important thing
is making the links between
all the different things that
happen here the users, the
staff, the Verona Area Active
Adults, our volunteers and
the city, and pulling all these
different groups together
to benefit our seniors, she
said. I love building bridges
and making the connections
between people and different
roles.
Listening and taking to
heart what people want to
see happen at the center will
be among Hansons most
important early activities,
she said, before plans can be
implemented.
Then its having a little
amount of inspiration and
vision for what can be; what
Im hearing needs to actually
trigger some good ideas,
Hanson said. There are
small things you can do and
there are big things. Weve
done a lot of little things
already so were already
paddling the boat in the same
direction.
Something about
Mary
Hanson, who comes from
a very active family with
seven siblings, admits to a
relative fondness for cha-
os.
Either you learn to be
a little bit tactful or a little
bit of an ambassador, she
chuckled. Or you learn to
fight - or a little bit of both.
She said having dealt
with her mothers difficult
Alzheimers experience
helps her understand what
other families are going
through.
Peopl e are goi ng t o
really get that; those folks
who are coming here deal-
i ng wi t h t hat , Hanson
said. They know we can
hel p when t hose t hi ngs
are going on in peoples
lives.
An artist who is also an
expert seamstress when she
has the time (sewing is a
little too solitary), one of
her near-term goals is estab-
lishing a rotating art gallery
at the center. But her big-
picture mission runs much
deeper.
I really hope people can
come and find a home here;
find something of interest,
someone who will listen,
find support and encourage-
ment, find a meal - all of
those elementary things that
go into making life enjoy-
able, Hanson said.
Ecstatically thrilled to
be heading up the Verona
Senior Center, she hopes to
pass on the valuable things
she has been taught.
When I started out, my
first and foremost goal was
to do something more mean-
ingful, something that helped
people when they were hav-
ing a difficult time in their
lives, and in particular to be
working with seniors, she
said. It was kind of a way of
making something good out
of what happened with my
mom; to be able to take this
experience and turn it around
and really do something pos-
itive with it.
Looking back, I really
feel l i ke my mom was
teaching me - teaching us -
patience and tolerance and
acceptance.
And maybe that was
the greatest lesson that she
taught us.

Q. Ive always heard that if I reduce my mortgage interest rate by
one point, then its worth refinancing. Is this true?
A. That has always been the thought, but there are other factors that make
renancing under a point worthwhile. An interest rate is a percentage of a loan
amount and the higher the loan amount the more savings. Sometimes only a half
an interest rate can save you a good chunk of money. Another example would be
if you are able to remove mortgage insurance (PMI) through renancing. (even
if your mortgage is greater than 80% loan to value) If you would like to review
your current mortgage, give me a call. There is no cost or obligation.
Bringing the experience and attention you deserve!
Q. I have been thinking about having my homes ductwork cleaned but I am a little hesitant. I have seen a few specials about
companies that claim they clean your ductwork but they end up just being a scam. How can I find a company that I can trust?
A. While it is true that there are some untrustworthy duct cleaning companies out there, there are ways
to avoid becoming a victim. The first thing you will want to do, is make sure that the company is certified
through the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA). You can find a list of certified companies
on their website, www.nadca.com. The companies listed with NADCA must hold general liability insurance
and have at least one of their staff members trained and certified through the Air Systems Cleaning
Specialists (ASCS). They also must adhere to the NADCA code of ethics which includes such things as
being honest and forthright with advertising as well as providing only necessary and desired services to
clients. Also make sure that the company has been in business long enough to actually have the experience
and the right equipment for cleaning ductwork. Have the company send you their proof of insurance, their certifications and any licenses
they claim to have and see what the company is rated through the Better Business Bureau. There are friendly, knowledgeable and
experienced duct cleaning companies out there and with a little research you can be assured that the job will be done right.

WINDOW FASHIONS & COVERINGS
Q. What window fashions work in the kitchen? This week: Doors!
A. Many kitchens feature a door leading outside which could be sliding glass or
French doors. The most common question I receive from clients is how to dress
these. One-way stacking products are great for sliders to ensure easy access,
keeping the stack out of the way. Split draw work best for French doors which open
from the center to keep a balanced look. Consider a fabric drapery for best energy
efficiency, or natural woven products for great light filtering and a contemporary
feel. Textured fabric roller shades look fantastic mounted above for a modern, sleek
feel and of course can be motorized and remote controlled at a reasonable cost.

VETERINARIAN
Q. Do I need to have my dog vaccinated for Leptospirosis this Spring?
A. Leptospirosis is a bacterial infection resulting from the contact with
the urine of infected wildlife, rodents or contaminated water or food. The
bacteria can infect the kidneys and/or liver where they cause a variety of
symptoms including fever, loss of appetite, depression and generalized pain.
The signs can be vague leading to the potential to go undiagnosed. Dogs and
wildlife continue to shed this bacteria in their urine for some time after they
have been infected. This is particularly concerning as humans can also get
Leptospirosis. Vaccination in our wildlife-dense state is important for the
protection of our pets and ourselves.

Flooding over Grandview
Spring temperatures last Thursday caused water to partially
flood over Grandview Road.
Melting ice and snow caused water to flood the side of the road
and part of the driving area, although the road was still drivable.
The public works staff are doing all they can to deal with the
situation, but theres nowhere for it to run, Town of Verona
officials said in an email.
Drivers were cautioned to drive slow through the area, which
was marked off by high water road signs.

residents.

Downtown
The city has spent more
t han a year cr eat i ng a
l ong-t erm pl an for t he
citys downtown. The plan
addresses t raffi c needs
and forms a guideline for
development.
Kemp was critical of the
publics involvement in the
planning process, and at
the lack of inaction by the
city in the past decade to
make significant changes
to the area.
At some point we need
t o t ake some act i on,
Kemp said. I think we can
do more.
Kemp was cri t i cal of
adding too much develop-
ment to the citys periph-
ery: Doing too much of
t hat can l ead t o sprawl
and a downtown that isnt
walkable or bikeable, he
said.
Hochkammer sai d t he
ci t y s downt own i sn t
goi ng t o survi ve on i t s
own. Additional parking
and the ability to bypass
some of the north/south
through traffic would help
keep the downtown safe
and functional. He said
steps have already been
taken to encourage devel-
opment in the area includ-
ing buying a property on
Park Lane for a fut ure
parking lot and creating
a revolving loan fund in
2012.
We have done things
and we have more ideas,
Hochkammer said. We
will continue to push those
ideas and move the down-
town forward.
Fire department
The city is in the midst
of transition from being
a member of the Verona
Joint Fire District a now-
defunct entity and has
taken over oversight of
the department. The city
is responding to a lawsuit
by the firefighters union,
which claims the open hir-
ing process used by the
city violates their current
agreement.
Kemp was cri t i cal of
the way the city handled
the hiring, and he accused
Hochkammer of casting an
important vote to allow the
Police and Fire Commis-
sion to spend city money
on the open hiring process.
Kemp said he hasnt heard
from anyone who has had
a complaint about the cur-
rent firefighting staff.
I m ext r emel y con-
cerned about this theres
no explanation about why
this is occurring, Kemp
said. The mayor was the
tie-breaking vote in this
case that triggered a law-
suit.
Hochkammer qui ckl y
rebutted Kemp by noting
his tie-breaking vote was
only to approve funds to
post the jobs and conduct
interviews. The vote was
not whether to have an
open process as the PFC
made that decision.
Still, he defended the
open process, sayi ng i t
was used so that any quali-
fied applicant could apply,
including the five full-time
staffers on the Verona Fire
District department.
He said the city was fol-
lowing state law by allow-
ing the PFC to use the pro-
cess it thought would best
serve the community.
What could we have
done differently? We could
have not followed state
law, Hochkammer said.
City budget process
The ci t y s budget i ng
process drew attention last
year and was criticized for
not having enough public
involvement. Both can-
didates said it would be
impossible to have citizens
weigh in on each budget
item.
process drew more atten-
tion because the council
had five new alders, but the
process the city used has
been the same for many,
many years.
He said the process is
transparent meetings are
publicly noticed, carried on
Verona cable access tele-
vision and covered in the
Press and city staff are
given direction by elected
officials to create the bud-
get.
The reason there was
contention in my opinion
was mainly because of
the library, Hochkammer
said. I think it was inex-
perience with some of the
new alders in the budget-
ing process.
Kemp said it was unfair
to blame the process on
new alders, but agreed that
some budget items need to
be addressed at committee
levels. He said people tend
to lose faith in government
when there isnt enough
information given to them.
I dont think you can
include the entire commu-
nity on every single deci-
sion, Kemp said. But I
do think that it is important
that the government is as
transparent as it can be.
Economic growth
While the downtown has
received a lot of attention
from the recent transpor-
t at i on and devel opment
study, other parts of the
city are growing. Both can-
didates weighed in on the
citys north side planning,
periphery growth and the
citys role of attracting vis-
itors to town.
Kemp said the city needs
to promote Verona more, a
challenge given the citys
proximity to Madison. He
said the chamber and local
businesses could be part-
ners in promoting events in
the city. The city could be
doing a better job working
with the chamber to pro-
mote the city, Kemp said.
Kemp said it was impor-
tant to attract the right
kinds of businesses to the
city. In addition, the city
should work with current
busi ness owners t o see
what will help them grow
and thrive.
We do need t o have
some development on the
outside edges of the city,
Kemp said. But not at the
cost of losing the down-
town permanently.
Hochkammer agreed that
the city should continue to
work with the chamber. He
cited his past experience
working with the economic
devel opment commi t t ee
to bring more hotels and
room tax dollars to the city.
Were doing a lot of
Verona as far as promo-
tion, Hochkammer said.
We could do a lot more.
city needs to be able to
grow and bring more areas
into its urban service area
to allow for more develop-
ment both commercial
and residential. That was
a dig at the countywide
regional planning process
that has slowed Veronas
efforts to expand in recent
years.
He said one way to make
the downtown more vibrant
is to support development
on the edges.
They will not survive
unl ess t hey have t r af -
fic flow, unless they have
parki ng, Hochkammer
said.
Epic TIF
When t he Epi c t ax-
increment financing dis-
trict closes in 2015, it will
provide a large boost to the
citys revenues in the 2016
budget.
Hal f must go t oward
propert y t ax rel i ef, but
the other half will be up
to the city to decide how
t o spend. Hochkammer
reported that discretion-
ary number will be about
$865, 000, though thats
only an estimate, since it
will depend on assessments
and tax rates.
Hochkammer has a spe-
cific plan he hopes the city
will use: About $65,000
would go toward city staff
time that is currently paid
for by the TIF, another
$275,000 would be used
for the citys undesignated
rainy day fund, $125,000
would go toward a capital
equipment fund that would
even out borrowing and
the rest would help bring
half the citys road repair
funding back onto the tax
levy, as was the practice
for many years prior to the
recession.
Kemp said a balanced
and measured approach
to the funds would be best
for the city. He said the
funds shouldnt be treated
as some windfall where the
city would be able to bring
on many new staffers.
What Id like to see
the city do is curb some of
the borrowing that were
doing, Kemp said.
Communication
In a theme heard often
in the 2013 election, can-
didates were asked about
how the city could com-
municate better with resi-
dents.
Kemp said the city needs
to do a better job using
soci al medi a and ot her
sources to get information
to residents, beyond meet-
ing legal requirements.
I do t hi nk t he ci t y
should be using these types
of social media platforms
to reach out to citizens,
Kemp said. Its very effi-
cient.
He acknowledged that
traditional notifications
like sending letters to prop-
erty owners should still
be used.
Hochkammer said part of
his role as legislative staff-
er for the Wisconsin Coun-
ties Association is working
to do outreach with dif-
ferent groups of people.
He acknowledged the city
can always do better, and
said the city needs to use
social media to reach citi-
zens.
Still, Hochkammer said
some of the onus is on citi-
zens to become involved in
issues like the budget
that matter to them.
There is a responsibil-
ity of the public to become
aware of whats going on,
as well, he said.

2016.
A crowd of about 50
people at a public meeting
March 12 at the Verona
Senior Center had few gen-
eral questions about the
project and seemed mostly
supportive of the change.
Jason DiPiazza, an engi-
neer from MSA Profes-
sional Services, said recent
analysis on roundabouts
throughout the state led the
design team to review their
traffic projections.
Wi t h t he l arge t raf-
fic volumes and the traf-
fic patterns that we see out
here maybe (the round-
about) isnt going to work
the best, DiPiazza said.
We didnt want this to be a
trial of a very high-volume
three-lane roundabout. It
had the potential for very
poor operation.
The new preferred alter-
native which still needs
approval from the cities
of Madison and Verona
would be more familiar to
drivers than a two- or three-
lane roundabout, DiPiazza
said.
Whats different?
The last time planners
met with Verona residents,
they had presented a plan
for a two-lane roundabout,
with the ability to expand it
to three lanes when traffic
warranted more space.
DiPiazza said the most
recent traffic projects
based on Epics growth and
neighborhood growth plans
for the area showed more
traffic than the roundabout
could handle.
To meet t hei r t raffi c
goals, designers decided to
move forward with a set of
traffic lights with a west-
bound underpass for Hwy.
PD traffic. Drivers will
find dedicated turn lanes
for each direction of travel,
except for westbound Hwy.
PD, which will pass under-
neath Hwy. M north of the
intersection. The entire
intersection will be slightly
raised to accommodate the
underpass, but not as much
as would happen with a tra-
ditional diamond-shaped
interchange.
A connection for Ray-
mond Road woul d al so
be moved to connect with
Meriter Way, rather than
closer to the Hwys. M and
PD intersection.
DiPiazza said the under-
pass al t ernat i ve woul d
cost slightly more than the
roundabout because it will
require a bit more right-of-
way and more construction
materials, but both options
are less than a full-diamond
interchange. Actual con-
struction costs have not yet
been determined.
Whats the same?
Despite the new intersec-
tion at Hwy. PD, the rest
of the project is relatively
unchanged, DiPiazza said
last week.
Hwy. M will be rede-
s i g n e d a s a n u r b a n
arterial street from the City
of Veronas northern end
up to Mineral Point Road
in Madison. Part of that
work is already done, and
the modified jug-handle
interchange at Hwy. M and
Mineral Point Road should
be completed this year.
A traffic signal is still
planned for Hwy. M at
Midtown Road, as was pre-
viously recommended.
Other highlights of the
redesigned road include:
Three lanes of north-
bound and southbound traf-
fic along most stretches of
the road, although some
areas will have lanes dedi-
cated for turning or buses
Medians between 8-20
feet wide, depending on
where turn lanes are located
Streetlights
Bike lanes
A multi-use path and/or
sidewalks
DiPiazza told people at
the meeting last week that
engineers are including
bike lanes because they are
required for federally fund-
ed highway projects. The
multi-use path for bikes
and pedestrians is being
included because less-expe-
rienced users are unlikely
to use on-street bike lanes.
More information
Project planners will con-
tinue to work on the designs
and finish an environmental
review this year, DiPiazza
said. The preferred alterna-
tive needs to be approved
by both municipalities, as
well.
Detailed designs will be
developed next year and
some early utility work
could start next fall. The
bulk of the construction
would fall to 2016, though
exact timing would depend
on what works best for the
utility companies and cities.
While the reconstruc-
tion of the interchange and
Hwy. M was pushed back
about a year, other nearby
roads are slated for repairs
and upgrades in the next
few years, as well:
Nine Mound Road north
of Epic to Hwy. PD in 2015
Hwy. PD east of Hwy.
M in 2017
Hwy. PD west of Hwy.
M in 2018
Drivers will also have to
contend with construction
along Verona Road near the
Beltline. Drivers will see
lane reductions and traffic
pattern shifts later this sum-
mer and next year. The sec-
ond stage of that project
which will create an under-
pass at Hwy. PD is antici-
pated to begin in 2017.

one new applicant and one
change-of-mind, leaving it
at 16 applicants.
Both NCS director Jim
Ruder and VAIS director
Amanda Mayo expressed
optimism that their schools
would fill up this sum-
mer by families moving
into the district, and Mayo
said shes already heard
from families planning to
move into the district about
potential interest.
Were really not pan-
icked, Mayo said. Obvi-
ously we wouldve liked
to have seen a wait list
like we had the year prior.
Were comfortable with
where things are at.
Bot h school s wi l l go
t hr ough t he upcomi ng
budget process with that
expectation, though if slots
were to go unfilled, they
would have to adjust their
budgets for the following
year.
Were going to move
forward with anticipation
of filling the slots, Ruder
said.
In the meantime, he said
the NCS site council will
continue to monitor the
situation and make adjust-
ments as need be.
The district changed the
way it gets information on
school choice to incoming
kindergarten parents this
year, opting to send a DVD
and letter home to those
families rather than hold-
ing the traditional meeting
where each school made
a presentation. The deci-
sion was aimed at getting
information to parents who
did not usually attend the
meeting, said VASD direc-
tor of community services
John Schmitt.
We were maybe hitting
a third at best, and rec-
ognizing the people who
were coming were people
that had very much inter-
est in it, but we werent
attracting many people that
werent able to get to the
school easily, he said at a
November board meeting.
Schmi t t al so t ol d t he
Verona Press when t he
district decided to extend
the deadline there could be
many reasons for the low-
er numbers outside of the
change.
We dont know all the
reasons (for the low num-
bers), he said. Maybe
parents just decided not to
(enroll in charters).
Mayo said VAIS would
examine how the new pro-
cess may have affect ed
r ecr ui t ment , si nce t he
school di dn t get t he
immediate interest that we
had seen the year before,
when it had 38 applications
for 22 openings. VAIS did
have applicants for other
grades, she said.
All in all, where the
ki ndergart en mi ght not
hit 22, we could still have
our target number with our
overall enrollment, Mayo
said.

Hello neighbors-
Over the last 4 months I've enjoyed walking through our
community to talk with all of you. With our spring election
day rapidly approaching, I want to take this opportunity to
thank everyone I've talked to for your time and interest in my
campaign.
In case we haven't had a chance to talk, here are my goals if I'm
elected as your Mayor:
n Continue Verona's excellent reputation as a safe community
by working cooperatively with our essential public safety
employees.
n Build our downtown into a destination area for residents and
commuters by encouraging businesses to build and grow in
the area.
n Ensure that businesses, residents and other stakeholders are
included in the decision making process and made aware of
proposed changes to our community.
n Guarantee vital services and access for our seniors.
n Promote responsible growth by working to preserve our
parks, waterways and environment.

Were really not panicked. Obviously we
wouldve liked to have seen a wait list like
we had the year prior. Were comfortable
with where things are at.
