City of Verona

Wherever it may go, alders on board with VACT move

City would purchase current building, provide land
Jim Ferolie
Verona Press editor

While there remains some

question about the choice of location, there can be no doubt the
city wants to help Verona Area
Community Theater build a new
home.

The latest plan, after considering a few other options over

the past year, would put a new,
10,000-square-foot facility with a
148-seat theater on the same plot
of land as the fire station thats
being built in 2015.
Asked for feedback Monday but not a vote all seven

alders present and the mayor were

unequivocal about their support
for providing some sort of public land for the nonprofit group
to relocate to. Its current home is
5,000 square feet and is next to
the citys crammed public works
facility, making for a natural,
mutually beneficial land swap if
the two sides can agree on a price
for the 10-year-old building.

Even Ald. Jack Linder (Dist.

2), who has been relentless in his
quest for the city to explore the
fiscal impact of all alternatives,
called the possibility of growing
the space, and thus programming,
a great opportunity for the kids
in the city and said he would be
in support.
Ald. Brad Stiner (D-3) took
the opposite tack, criticizing the

Verona tornado

location as not compatible with

the fire station.
Stiner, who has for several
years unfailingly announced each
of the groups upcoming shows
at the end of council meetings,
called himself a fan but worried
about the possibility of illegal
parking during a big show getting

Kayde Sheaffer, 8, of Verona, and the wildcat mascot enthusiastically flag down passersby to their lemonade stand last Thursday. The stand earned
$150 toward the Country View PTO tornado relief fund.

Rock On, Country View

Creative fundraisers inspire
generosity all over community
Kathryn Chew
Verona Press correspondent

Kayde Shaeffer, 8,and Ben Matilla,

7, stood excitedly in front of their lemonade stand on Thursday afternoon as a
passerby slowed down to a stop. But as
Kayde approached the car to take a lemonade order, a friendly face popped out
and simply said, Weve got a donation!
and handed her a $20.
This type of generosity was seen
numerous times throughout the afternoon. Clearly this was not your typical
lemonade stand.

Instead, it was one of many fundraisers held to help raise money for Country View Elementary School, which was
heavily damaged by the EF3 tornado that
tore up the northwest side of Verona on
June 17.
By the end of the day, Shaeffer and
Matilla had collected over $150 for the
PTOs tornado relief fund.
This was a small, yet pivotal part, in the
communitys overall fundraising efforts,
which have already brought in more than
$11,000 to help out teachers. This success is not only due to the creativity of
the fundraisers, but also to the generosity of the community and their consistent
giving of more than what is asked.
While most of the estimated $4 million

The old joke at Fitch-Rona

EMS, says Rita Martin, was
that she wouldnt stop volunteering there until she delivered a baby on an emergency
call.
But after 37 years and
countless ambulance calls, Martin
Martin last month called it
quits.
I never got my wish, she said with a
laugh. But thats OK. I am sad to be leaving
but I also know that its the right time.
Martin, who turns 58 next month, recently
decided to let her licensing expire as an IV
tech on the Fitch-Rona crew, ending a stretch
of volunteerism that began when Fitch-Rona
first offered local ambulance service in September 1977.
Her last official day was June 30. The
Common Council plans to honor her at an
upcoming meeting.
Martin, who has lived in Verona since she
was a freshman in high school, is one of the
most caring people that I know, said FitchRona deputy chief Cindy Diedrich, who met
Martin as a fellow volunteer in 1997. Shes
just a wonderful woman.
Martin joined Fitch-Rona at age 21, when
her younger brother, Ron Martin, told her
that a friends father, Jack Vaughan, was
looking for help starting a local ambulance
service.
Both siblings signed up immediately, and
Ron Martin still volunteers today.
In the early days, Fitch-Rona was an allvolunteer service, and Rita Martin was often
on-call for three or four 12-hour shifts a week
for the measly pay of 50 cents an hour.
In the 1980s, she cut back to one shift a
week and began a 28-year stint teaching
Emergency Medical Technician courses at
Madison Area Technical College. That work
often consumed three or four nights a week.
And that was on top of her full-time work
from the Middleton office of the Department

Verona Road

Dane County

Major traffic shift planned Thursday

Financial outlook improves

Mark Ignatowski
Unified Newspaper Group

As major reconstruction
of Verona Road and the
Beltline continues, drivers
should prepare for a major
traffic switch this week.
Crews are finishing up
work on the new northbound lanes of Verona
Road and both north and
southbound drivers will
be shifted to that new road
for the remainder of the
construction season. That
switch is scheduled to be
completed by the morning of Thursday, July 17,
according to the Wisconsin
Department of Transportation.
To safely and efficiently complete this overnight switch, periodic turn
restrictions will be in effect
to and from Verona Road
(in this work zone) between
8 p.m. Wednesday, July 16
and 10 a.m. Thursday, July
17, a news release from
WisDOT read. Alternate
routes are encouraged during these hours.
A temporary closure of
the current Home Depot
entrance from Verona Road
was planned for this, project chief John Vesperman
told the Press. The entrance
will be shifted slightly to
the north in preparation for
the major switch.
Drivers should expect
delays as people get used
to the new traffic pattern,
WisDOT officials warned.
Still, people are encouraged to patronize local

Traffic will be shifted to the newly constructed northbound lanes of Verona Road, seen here on the left
side of the photo, by Thursday. Construction will continue through November.

businesses along the construction route. Two lanes

of traffic will be maintained
each way, officials said.
In the months following
the switch, several major
components of the project
will be completed:
A jug-handle intersection at Summit Road
A roundabout under
Verona Road
A pedestrian underpass
under the intersection
About $28.2 million
worth of work on these
projects is slated to be
completed by November.
That will mark the halfway
point of the first phase of
the three-phase project.

The second part of the first

phase will focus on the
Beltline. From fall 2014
through fall 2016, crews
will work to expand the
Beltline to three lanes west
towards Whitney Way.
That project includes new
Beltline bridges over Verona Road and a new, singlepoint interchange at Verona
Road.
While the main focus
of the WisDOT project
has been improving safety
for drivers along major
roadways, advocates have
fought to have improvements made to the surrounding neighborhoods,
as well. A recent study by

the University of Colorado

at Denver focused on some
of the challenges local residents have faced when trying to improve public health
along the Verona Road corridor. Some concerns have
been addressed, including
the construction of sound
barriers, local detours and
pedestrian connections. But
the main focus of the project continues to be traffic
management for the arterial
roads.
Details about the project,
including videos of how
intersections will work and
maps of construction phases, can be found online at
veronaroadproject.wi.gov

Bond rating moved

from negative to
stable
Bond ratings might not
sound too exciting, but
Dane Countys top administrator said some recent
changes have provided
welcome good news on the
countys financial health.
According to a press
release Monday from
Dane County, both of
the countys bond-rating agencies Moodys
Investments and Fitch
Ratings praised its
restored reserve fund,
with Moodys removing
the negative outlook
label put on the countys bond rating in 2011,
upgrading it to stable.
Dane County Executive Joe Parisi said the
move is a significant
financial milestone
and recognizes the work
done to rebuild the countys fiscal foundation.
It is good to receive
positive feedback for
sound fiscal management, he said. But more
importantly, this is good
news for our taxpayers because capital projects will cost less due to
a better borrowing rate.

Fitch Ratings also revised

the countys fiscal outlook
to stable, adding, financial management is strong
and has improved with
more conservative budgeting and recent implementation of multi-year
forecasting the county
has restored structural
balance and demonstrated an ability to maintain
adequate financial flexibility despite a 2010 state
law that limits growth in
property tax revenue.
Moodys awarded the
county with an Aa1 rating, citing a stable and
strong local economy, the
General Fund reserve and
limited fixed obligations.
According to county officials, Dane Countys
general reserve fund has
gone from a negative balance during the recession
to its current $20.9 million. Parisi said as the
2015 budget process soon
begins in earnest, there
are reasons for cautious
optimism about the countys financial situation.
Making tough decisions
together in recent years
now means important
work like cleaning up our
lakes and rebuilding our
roads can be done at a
lower cost in Dane County, he said.

editor, provided they comply with
our guidelines.
Political endorsements and other election letters must be submitted about two weeks before the
relevant election.
For the upcoming fall election,
primary election letters need to
be submitted by July 28 and will
be printed July 31. General election letters need to be submitted
by Oct. 20 and will be printed Oct.
23.
Letters will be printed as space
allows.
Other special rules apply during
election season.
Letters should be no longer
than 400 words. They should
also contain contact information
the writers full name, address,
and phone number so that the
paper may confirm authorship.
Unsigned or anonymous letters
will not be printed under any circumstances.
The editorial staff of Unified
Newspaper Group reserves the
right to edit letters for length, clarity and appropriateness. Letters
with libelous or obscene content
will not be printed.

writers with ties to our circulation
area.
All letters to the editor should
be of general public interest. Letters that are strictly personal lost

that urge readers to patronize specific businesses or specific religious faiths will not be printed,
either. Thank-you letters can
be printed under limited circumstances, provided they do not contain material that should instead
be placed as an advertisement and
reflect public, rather than promotional interests.
Language, quotations, facts
and research that are contained
in a letter but come from another
source should be attributed. Plagiarized material will not be published. Chain letters will not be
printed, nor will letters already
published in another newspaper or

also has the game pace of basketball or hockey.

Baseball, with a great pitching duel, and hockey, with a
good goaltending battle can
be pretty low-scoring, but still
exciting.
And even in our beloved
football, the pace of the game is
much slower than soccer with
its quarters, penalties, timeouts,
clock stoppages, commercial
breaks and changes of possession. Soccer has a continuous
clock running for a continuous
game where changes are rapid.
Of course, its not the pace or
even the scoring that keeps us
watching, its the drama.
Another way to look at it
is that in soccer, the game is
played between the scoring; the
scoring is merely the end result.
Just as if you ask why a person
is in a certain line of business,
the answer isnt really to make
money.
The real answer is much
more interesting. It might be to
make software that will change
the world, to allow people to
dress to impress, or in my case,
to provide opportunities to
advance literacy and learning.
The money made is not a reason
to do business, its the result of
doing a business well.
Soccer is similar. If a team
plays the game well, if they
play it beautifully, they will
score more points than the other
team.
We all want to see United
States soccer become that team,
take that next step from being a
dangerous team that can cause
an upset to the favorite, the one
that wins because it plays beautifully.
So since we Americans love
a challenge, I challenge you
to watch soccer outside of the
national team. Learn the rules
and the drama of the game. You
will be rewarded.
Im not asking you to replace
the football in your life; Im
only asking that you add futbol
to your life.

of the Verona Public Library.

Compassion fatigue
Compassion fatigue is a term that is often applied to people
who work in the helping professions, such as doctors,
nurses, teachers, and social workers, and refers to the
gradual decrease of compassion which these people sometimes feel in response to others suffering. It may be that
after seeing so much suffering we become desensitized to it.
Indeed, there is some evidence that everyone may be prone
to compassion fatigue through the medias portrayal of suffering people. Hearing everyday about Syrian refugees or
the homeless in America may make us less likely to respond
compassionately than if we were hearing about these unfortunate souls less often. People who are experiencing high
levels of stress and who have inadequate support networks
are more likely to experience compassion fatigue, perhaps
because they feel that no one is helping them with their
problems and they feel like they have nothing left in their
bucket to share. Since compassion is one of the essential
callings of the faithful, we should do our best to prevent
compassion fatigue by managing our own levels of stress
and by ensuring that we have a good support network in
place. And, we should remember that God is always there to
back us up.

I cannot carry all these people by myself; the burden is too
heavy for me.

ENVIRONMENTAL SPECIALIST

Q. What came first - The paint or the drapery?

A. Often times, people call me to help design new window coverings once theyve

Q. Is it true that a clogged dryer vent can be a fire hazard?

A. Yes, that is true. Each year thousands of residential fires are caused by blocked

dryer vents. It is a common assumption that your dyers lint trap catches all of the
lint produced from each load. This however, is not the case. Lint accumulates within your dryer duct system and creates a build-up. Not only do these blockages cause
your dryer to work harder, resulting in higher energy costs, the reduced air flow
through the vent causes excess heat and a backup of dryer exhaust gases creating a
fire hazard. With the combination of limited air flow, increased gases and heat trying
Justin Vondra
Environmental Specialist to circulate through a blocked dryer vent, fires can very easily spark. To keep your
dryer performance top-notch and to eliminate any vent blockages it is recommended
that you have your dryer vent cleaned once a year. In fact some insurance companies
are now requiring it to be done as a preventative maintenance measure.

activity programming is a key to enhancing our residents quality of
life. We have quality activity programs for physical, psycho-social

Q. My dog is getting more and more anxious during thunderstorms and fireworks. What can I do to help keep her comfortable during these times?

A. It sounds like your dog has mild noise phobia, a fairly common problem during the

Barney Smith
D.V.M.

summer. Common signs of canine anxiety include panting, trembling, pacing, whining
and being destructive. Here are some things you can do to help: (1) provide your
dog with a safe hiding place at home, away from outside sounds and light an inner
basement room is good, (2) a canine Thundershirt can be helpful for mild noise anxiety,
(3) provide some background music to block out other sounds, and (4) engage your dog
in obedience or play activities to distract her. It is important to reassure your pet but not
to over-indulge her since that may reinforce anxious behavior. Other products that may
help relax your dog include dog appeasing pheromone (Adaptil) diffusers or collars, as
well as anti-anxiety oral medications available from veterinarians. A new casein-based
product call Zylkene has also shown to help calm your dog. You should discuss the
best comprehensive treatment plan with your dogs doctor.

ATTORNEYS

INVESTMENTS

Q. Im really skeptical about investing, what are the risks of NOT investing?
A. By not investing enough to provide adequate income during your retirement

Matt Gerlach
Financial Advisor

years, you incur two types of risk. First, you risk not being able to enjoy the
retirement lifestyle youve envisioned. And second, you may risk outliving your
money. Also, by not investing for growth, you might lose ground to inflation. Even
at a relatively mild 3% annual inflation rate, your purchasing power will decline
by about half in just 25 years. Finally, by not investing consistently, you may not
be able to leave the type of legacy you desire, both to your family and to those
charitable organizations you support. Get into the habit of investing, and never
lose it because the risks of not investing are just too great.

Q. What can I do to protect others from using my business name?

A. The best protection for a business name is to register it as a trademark with the United States Patent

and Trademark Office, or the USPTO. Successfully registering a trademark entitles you to exclusive
use of the trademark nationwide. In the event a third party misuses or infringes on your trademark,
a USPTO registration can entitle you to additional relief and damages. USPTO registration is also
helpful, in some cases determinative, in proving your rights to an Internet domain name. You can
trademark both your business name and any logos. The trademark has to be sufficiently uniquewhat
the law calls distinctivein order to be entitled to registration, and significant problems can arise in
an attempt to register a mark that is already being used by other parties. You should always consult with
Attorney
a professional before attempting a trademark registration. A registration application can be prepared
Andrew Clarkowski
relatively quickly. You can use the mark while the registration is pending approval from the USPTO
(which usually takes nine months or more). You can also submit applications based on trademarks you
have not yet used, but intend to in the future. The total cost of an application will vary based on complexity and the number of
trademarks or logos submitted, but a simple application for a single, unique trademark can be completed for well under $2,000.

Q. What is the difference between fair market value, appraised value

and assessed value?

A. The Appraised Value of a property is a valuation conducted by a certified

Keith & Kinsey Schulz

Real Estate Team

independent professional who visits a property and compares it to similar recently sold houses in the area. This value is primarily used for financing purposes.
The Assessed Value is a value determined by local government and is used to
establish property tax payments. Though market data is used during this process,
the assessed value is generally less accurate because it is an annual snapshot
without a property visit. Ultimately, Market Value is determined by what a buyer
is willing to pay for a particular property on a particular day. Contact us for a free
market analysis to determine what your home may be worth.

Q. My kids never want the same thing for dinner and Im tired
of fixing multiple meals at the same time. What can I do?

A. Plan ahead and post the menu for the week (or the next few

days) on your refrigerator. Tell the kids in advance what is being

served and remind them that everyone has their favorites but that
you are only fixing one meal, (unless there is an allergy or dietary
restriction for a family member.) Try to offer several nutritious side dishes so that if someone
really dislikes the entre there are healthy options to fill up on. Many families find it works well
to have each family member choose the menu for one night of every week so everyones favorites
get into the rotation.

twice a day and visit your dentist twice a year... Even before that however,
a six month cleaning schedule had been the typical cleaning routine for the
majority of patients. In a perfect world everyone would brush and floss twice
a day. In reality, this isnt always the case. Plaque builds up over time and this
sticky bacterial film can solidify and turn into calculus or tartar. This cementlike substance is removed by the hygienist at your regular cleaning visits. A
six month interval not only serves to keep your mouth healthy and clean, it
allows potential problems to be found and diagnosed earlier. Sometimes a six

Q. My mother is elderly and is having a difficult time living at home independently. What are some options for living

arrangements?
A. There are many options for the alternate living arrangements for the elderly. If your mother is having difficulty living
independently because of stairs and obstacles within the home, then a senior apartment complex may be her best option.
Senior apartments may also be known as independent living apartments as the person lives in the apartment without physical
assistance, yet has more social opportunities than living in their own home. Independent living apartments are typically "senior
friendly" with grab bars in the bathroom, wider hallways, shorter carpet, minimal use of stairs and many on-site amenities to
help make living independently easier. If your mother is having difficulty getting dressed, cooking, bathing, and performing

A. The basics: Roth contributions arent deductible, but earnings arent taxed.
Regular 401ks ARE deductible, providing real tax savings now. But distributions
are fully taxable. Taxes in regular 401ks arent eliminated, just deferred. That
could work out well if youre in a lower tax bracket when you take out your
money. But lots of taxpayers find themselves in higher than expected tax brackets
when they retire. Roth accounts can be particularly attractive for young taxpayers
because of the additional time their money can grow. If your money doubles
every 7 to 10 years, Roth contributions at age 30 could quadruple or quintuple
by the time you reach retirement. Tax free growth makes a big difference when
youre younger. Even if your income is totally predictable, tax rates arent. So
choosing the best option may be a matter of luck. If youre unsure, a conversation
with your tax and financial advisor(s) could help.

am getting a lot of pain in my neck when I am riding my bike.

Would chiropractic or massage help with this?

A. Whether you are riding a recreational bike, road bike, or tri bike the
neck is forced into a position that puts pressure on the posterior portion of
the cervical spine. This position also forces the neck to remain in a state of
continued contraction that can cause joint and muscle soreness. Chiropractic
adjustments will help maintain healthy joint mobility and function. This

would be recommended to help increase strength and mobility in your neck and upper back.

the runs came in bunches Sunday
against Oregon at Stampfl Field.
Shortstop Justin Scanlon put
the exclamation point on an 11-1
win the Cavaliers (14-0) third
straight 10-run rule victory with
a walk-off 3-run home run in the

it was first baseman Cole Kroncke

first of his two 2-run singles that
gave Verona a 2-1 lead at the time.
Kroncke said that going through
the order three times and seeing all
three of Oregon pitcher Ben Riffles pitches who Kroncke said
was mixing well allowed for the
Cavaliers to take better approaches at the plate in the later innings.
We made adjustments as the
game went on and got better, he
said.
Derek Burgenske singled to start
the sixth, and Luke Yapp walked
two batters later. Danny Koss followed with an infield single to

Alders: Keep old library

Verona Press editor

With a church moving out

of the old library building,
alders considered Monday
whether to lease it out again
or sell it.
Though the building is
in need of major repairs,
including a roof, a resurfaced parking lot and eventually the climate control
system, alders agreed that
the city should hang on to it
if it can because redeveloping that site is a key element
of the Downtown Plan.
Ironically, so was the
Wildcat Lanes building
where the current library
tenant, Sugar River United
Methodist Church, will be
moving into. But then that
was why the churchs move
inspired so much debate earlier this year.
Mondays consensus
seemed to be that the building should be renovated
before another tenant is
allowed in. But at least
three suitors including the
Verona Area School District
are capable of providing
revenue, and the basement is
still in use by the local food
pantry despite its hopes of
soon finding a larger space.
Ald. Jack Linder (Dist. 2)
suggested the city get a new
appraisal, rather than relying on its 8-year-old estimate of the buildings value
($800,000), and that it factor in the cost of the major
repairs when setting lease
terms.
Mayor Jon Hockammer
said awarding the lease
would need to be an open
process and he urged
quick action, noting that the
church plans to be out by the
end of August.

Liberty Park OKs

The council gave approvals to three projects in Liberty Business Park that would
together add nearly 240,000
square feet of commercial
uses.
Though all three votes
were essentially formalities after the Plan Commissions more extensive site
reviews, they were nonetheless important for the park,
which can, if all of three
buildings are built, exceed
its initial obligations to the
tax-increment financing district it sits in.

Late liquor licenses

The council granted belated liquor license approvals
to two businesses that have
had to operate for the past

two weeks without them:

Avanti Italian Restaurant
and The Heights Event Center.
The Heights is mainly
used for large events and
might not have missed out
on anything by being delinquent with its application
and fees, but certainly thats
not the case with Avanti,
which got itself into similar
trouble three years ago for
what the police department
considered a pattern of violations by its owner.
Then, Avanti went
through a quasi-judicial
hearing that ended up with
it losing its liquor license
for only 10 days, with some
small requirements keeping
it from extending to 90. This
time, it was merely a matter
of not making required payments.
Public Safety and Welfare
committee member Ald.
Evan Touchett (D-4) had
harsh criticism for the restaurants management, calling it a shame the business
had been negligent and
adding that the biggest loser
in the situation was Avantis
employees.

City considers claim

The public works committee directed staff to work
out a settlement with a family whose North Main Street
home had gotten flooded
because of a sewer backup.
The decision will come
back to the Common
Council for final approval
after committee members
expressed reservations
about setting a precedent
for a situation that they
could not prove definitively
was a result of city fault.
However, some less-thanideal design in the decadesold infrastructure and a
history of prior problems
in that part of the sewer
system left them leaning
toward paying the claim for
cleanup.

Senior Center exit

Verona Senior Center
activities director Chris
Nye has resigned to become
a senior center director in
Fort Atkinson, city administrator Bill Burns reported.
Nye, who has been with
the city since 2006, was
a candidate for the open
Verona director job last
year, which ultimately
went to Mary Hanson. The
center, which has greatly expanded its activity
options over the past several years, will hold a party
in his honor on Friday.

Theater: Despite some concerns, VACT move gets support

Continued from page 1
in the way of first responders access to the station
or of children being in the
wrong place at the wrong
time.
This is not a good idea,
he said.
The rest of the council
watched with rapt attention
during his speech, and a
couple of alders referred to
his concerns while expressing their feelings on the
plan. But nobody addressed
the specifics or his alternative, which would use the
northwest corner of Veterans Park, just a block to the
south.
City staff questioned
after the meeting did not
share any of Stiners concerns about traffic flow
or access, noting that the
parking lot has its own separate access and is designed
for shared use. Its also
worth noting that the Lincoln Street-Verona Avenue
intersection is being redesigned and signalized so
that fire trucks will leave
from Verona Avenue.
Ald. Heather Reekie
(D-4) had made a pitch
during the fire station

review last month for

spending extra on colored
concrete to help differentiate the spots, and she reiterated that Monday. Ald.
Luke Diaz (D-3) agreed
that sort of design will be
important and added, we
need to find a way to make
it work.
Ald. Evan Touchett
(D-4) said alders and staff
need to think about the
future of the site what
would happen the next time
the theater group needs
to grow but he urged
quick action nonetheless so
VACT can begin its fundraising process.
Mayor Jon Hockammer
agreed.
Its very difficult to
raise money when you
dont have the commitment from all the parties,
he said.
City public works director Ron Rieder noted that
the city has been working
with VACT on a site for
about a year, and while he
admitted he hadnt considered the Veterans Park
location, it comes with
engineering problems and
would cost park space, just
as the idea at Firemans

Park would have. Ald. Mac

McGilvray (D-1) suggested
it could also have problems
with neighbors, as the original idea on the Epic property near Westridge Estates
did.
A pair of VACT parents
had addressed the council
earlier, during public comment, and extolled the virtues of what exposure to
theater had done for their
kids. They made Diaz
twice as convinced of its
value to the community.
Verona Area Chamber
of Commerce executive
director Karl Curtis also
spoke, saying the building could become another
jewel of Veronas, a
shared facility used by all

sorts of community and

municipal groups. Curtis,
who once wrote his own
play that VACT performed,
got hearty laughs when
he joked that the group is
good at making accommodations for everyone, as it
had proven by working in
a bad dancer like me.
Over the next few weeks,
staff will make this a priority, Hochkammer proclaimed, getting an appraisal for the building, negotiating a purchase price and
firming up location options
and information on alternatives. He said the goal
will be bringing it back for
council in August or the
first meeting in September.

damage to the school will
be covered by insurance,
some smaller items, like
teacher-purchased supplies,
wont. So in an effort to
help teachers re-fill their
classrooms with the educational tools the tornado
took, students, community
members and local businesses have been rallying
around the slogan, Rock
On, Country View Elementary and the Twitter
hashtag #CountryViewStrong.
Efforts have included
T-shirt and bracelet sales,
book drives, supply drives
and business donations, led
by students, parents and
local businesses owners.
The most successful so far
have been the T-shirt and
bracelet sales.
Designed by art teacher
Alanya Patterson and featuring the two catchphrases,
theyve been popular wear
at all of the fundraisers.
All told, 245 shirts were
sold at $20 apiece, and like
the lemonade stand, some
people opted to donate
additional funds along with
their purchase. After factoring out the cost of the
shirts, the fundraiser netted
more than $3,500 in profit,
PTO treasurer Tara Matila
said.
The PTO had originally
planned to sell the shirts
later in the year as part
of its normal fundraising,
but organizers moved the
date earlier because of the
unusual circumstances, said
PTO Vice President Rachel

The community has
begun collecting needed
items.
Starting July 7, The Verona Public Library partnered
with the Country View PTO
to hold a book drive to help
rebuild classroom libraries.
As of Monday, the book
drive had already filled two
55-gallon barrels full of
new or gently-used books
for reading levels K-4,
confirmed librarian Sherry
Golz-Waldhart. Book and
monetary collections will
continue to be collected at
the library through July 19.
Almost a dozen other
businesses and groups,
such as Sows Ear, Walgreens, Madison Swim
Academy and a VASD
summer school class (Caring For Our Community),
have worked hard to organize events supporting the
elementary school in the

aftermath of the tornado.

Several businesses also
donated to the PTOs tornado relief grant fund, including $500 from Associated
Dentists in Verona.
As of Tuesday the community has raised $11,327,
and though that doesnt factor in all expenses, it does
show how strong Country
View is.
Though the T-shirt drive
closed July 3, online contributions will continue to be
accepted at countryviewpto.

A delay between automated tornado warnings

and the sounding of local
tornado sirens last month
has caused officials to
change how the outdoor
warning system works.
According to a report
by WISC-TV3, there was
a 9-minute delay between
when the National Weather Service issued a tornado
warning June 16 for the
Verona area and when the
sirens went off. An EF-3
rated tornado touched
down in Verona shortly
before 12:10 a.m. June 17,
about 10 minutes after the
sirens sounded.
Some readers who commented on the report
through the Verona Press
Facebook site thought the
delay threatened public
safety while others urged
people to use more than
just the outdoor warning system to prepare for
severe weather.
According to report on
the television stations website, Channel3000.com, the
delay occurred because of
how the new, targeted system works. Dane County
upgraded the 134-siren system last spring to allow for
different areas to receive an
alarm when they are threatened by severe weather. The
alarms intended to warn
people who are outdoors
can be targeted to reach
areas in a storm's path.
For example, a tornado
headed for Verona likely
wouldnt trigger a need
for sirens in Stoughton.
The sirens can be activated
automatically when the
National Weather Service
issues a tornado warning. The NWS generates
a box where radar and
other models indicate that
storms might cause the
most damage. The system
can also be activated manually if officials think the
storm might cause more
damage than what is indicated by the NWS.
County Executive Joe
Parisis office confirmed
to the Verona Press, as
WISC had reported, that
the automatic warning
system will be used from
now on. Parisis chief of
staff, Josh Wescott, said
the manual mode was used
on the night of the tornado
to reach a wider area than
had been specified in the

National Weather Service

alert.
There was a full line
of storms headed into the
county, Wescott said.
The decision was made
to broaden that box and
sound more sirens.
The report has generated a bit of discussion on
social media, with some
readers upset with the
delay while others arguing
that the sirens shouldnt be
the only warning system
people rely on.
We didn't even hear
them, one Press reader
said. And the next time
they went off, if I had not
been awake, we wouldn't
have heard them again.
Wescott said greater
access to technology has
given people more ways
to be warned about severe
weather.
We want people to
have multiple modes of
warning, Wescott said.
People can get mobile
alerts, follow weather stations online and get upto-date weather coverage
from broadcast media.
Some readers agreed:
If you solely rely on the
sirens as your means of a
warning for a tornado than
(sic) you are a moron,
one reader said. You do
not need a smart phone
to get the text from NWS
and a weather radio is not
that expensive and a much
better means of getting a
warning because the radio
is in your house.
Verona Ald. Dale Yurs
told WISC that he believed
the warnings since June
16 have sounded sooner,
and he agreed that people
should have more than one
type of warning system to
alert them about severe
weather.
Because of the new policy, in the four tornado warnings issued since the night
of the Verona EF3, sirens
were activated automatically within one minute of
the NWS warnings, WISC
reported. Dane County's
Emergency Operations and
the 911 Center communicate when it comes to activating the sirens and either
can do so.
More information about
the countys warning system and links to other alert
systems can be found on
the Dane County Emergency Management website: countyofdane.com/

The front page of the Sept. 16, 1982 Fitchburg Star features four
Fitch-Rona EMS volunteer EMTs being honored for EMT week,
including Rita Martin, front left. Along with Martin, the departments
vice president and one of about 50 volunteers at the time, are
treasurer Chuck Stankovsky, left, Gary Rockweiler, president, and
Marilyn Soceka, secretary.

Martin: Founding member

will continue to volunteer

Continued from page 1

of Veterans Affairs, from

which she retired two-anda-half years ago as chief
finance officer.
Martin considered leaving Fitch-Rona in the early
1990s, after infants of two
families she knew died suddenly within a three-month
span. After counseling and
support from friends and
colleagues, she continued
on.
My feeling was that its
an important job and somebody had to do it, she told
the Verona Press in a 2007
article.
During her 37-year run,
Martin always had a pager
handy, and Diedrich said
that made her a key volunteer for Fitch-Rona, which
serves the Town and City of
Verona and Fitchburg. The
department didnt have a
fully staffed Verona station
until 2006, and until then,
Martin was often the first
responder to Verona emergencies.
We would get on the
scene and Rita would
already be there, Diedrich
said. If she felt she could
help us out in Verona, she
would get in her car and
drive over to the call.
Martin said she was
always driven by a desire
to help and care for people,
even though the job could
be intense and stressful. A
beeping pager wresting her
from sleep would send her
heart racing, she said.
But its always rewarding when you can get a
patient to the hospital and
theyre doing better or
youve been able to reassure them or comfort them,
sometimes even in their last

Youre the point of

everything we do.
At Meriter, weve always focused on whats best for our patients.
Thats why weve joined forces with UnityPoint Health, one of the
nations leaders in reshaping health care. This makes us stronger
than ever, so we can better coordinate care between your clinic,
hospital, insurance company and home. Well work together
around a single purpose. You.

The point of everything we do is you.

hours, she said.

She also loved the camaraderie of sharing meals
and going on calls with her
fellow EMTs.
Its like a family, she
said.
Martin said she retired
to spend more time with
her four grandchildren and
because the educational
requirements for EMTs
keep becoming more onerous. She also felt its time
to let the next generation
of emergency personnel
take over. The department
has only two remaining
volunteers as it relies these
days almost entirely on
full-time paramedics.
Martins last call
involved helping a neighbor
in mid-June who had broken her hip. But she doesnt
intend to stop volunteering.
During the aftermath of the
recent tornado, she made
meals for families and
police officers dealing with
storm damage through her
church, Memorial Baptist.
Though she turned in her
pager last month, Martin
said she still has a police
scanner in her home.
Every time I hear the
pager go off for Fitch-Rona,
I offer a prayer that they
will be safe, she said. I
will always be with them,
if not physically, at least in
spirit.
Martins devotion to
Fitch-Rona and to training her fellow emergency
workers is a testament to
her desire to give back to
her community, said FitchRona chief Brian Myrland.
She always brought that
tradition to us and that commitment to community, he
said.
