The Verona Area School District will cover four years of tuition at Edgewood College for Verona Area High School seniors Jalen Powell,
left, and Alexus Quinn-Stevenson. In return, the two must teach in the district for four years after their graduation.

Olson said the districts improvement in this area is a good thing, but
its not enough. He also acknowledged receiving some criticism about
the affirmative-action approach, with
questions about what is available to
white teachers.
When you think about it, everything we do is kind of for the white
teachers because thats the predominant culture here, he said.
The program costs $120,000 annually for the staff portion, which
includes some teachers pursuing their
bachelors degrees, and $35,000 per
year for every two students in the program. Powell and Quinn-Stevenson
hope it will help other students like
them feel more comfortable at Verona
schools in the future.
Its very important to see somebody who you feel like you can connect with, Powell said. To be able
to see yourself in a position of importance.

The space crunch, already felt at
Glacier Edge Elementary School
during the current school year, will
come first at the elementary level.
Country View and Stoner Prairie
elementaries will join GE, which
is over its capacity this year, above
their capacities by 2020, Roffers projected. All three would be more at
least 100 students over their capacities by 2030 if nothing changed in
boundaries and no new schools were
built, he said.
Savanna Oaks Middle School
would be next, with Roffers projecting the school to surpass its capacity
between 2020 and 2025, and be more
than 150 students over capacity by
2030.
Finally, Verona Area High School
would exceed its capacity after 2025,
and be more than 200 students over
capacity by 2030, according to Roffers projections.
Different method
In recent years, the district has
relied on the University of Wisconsin-Madisons Applied Population
Lab for its attendance projections,
but APL regularly acknowledged
VASD presented a challenge because
it includes parts of Fitchburg.
Roffers uses a different method
than APL, but found similar projections for 2025 attendance numbers,
with a 4 percent difference between
the APLs five-year trend model and
Roffers projections.
The newest study, which split
VASD into 53 distinct neighborhoods, involved Roffers talking with
municipal planners and developers
and looking at historic rates for housing turnover and ratios of students to
housing units.

to lure her into the car; she
fabricated that story.
But the police hope this
situation will prompt discussion between parents
and their children.
Although this particular
incident turned out to be
unfounded, Dresser wrote
in a news release, it serves
as a good reminder to talk
with your child about their
safety and how they should
respond if approached by a
stranger.
The sketch of the suspect was done by Verona Police Det. Mitch
Ziolkowski, Dresser said.
Ziolkowski has completed
a couple of sketches, but
this was the first drawing released to the media,
Dresser added.

Corrections
A preview to this weeks Plan Commission meeting inadvertently left out the date, which had been changed from its normal first
Monday of the month to Wednesday, April 6, because of the spring
election.
The March 31 article, School board highlights local races in
April 5 election, mistakenly attributed one of Noah Roberts
endorsements as from the Verona Area Education Foundation. The
correct organization was the Verona Area Education Association,
which represents teaching staff in negotiations with the district.
The Press regrets the errors.

unmasking.
But as a bit of an optimist myself,
I tend to look for the opportunity in
every situation. Here, I see a revelation that will perhaps force us to
improve our connection and presence in each of Unified Newspaper
Groups communities.
You see, since a reorganization in 2011, Unified Newspaper
Group which includes the Verona
Press has been building a structure based on teamwork, in which
any one of our nine staff members
could be taking photos or reporting
in any of our four communities. The
benefits have been many, including
specialization of skills, rather than
relying on each editor to be a jackof-all-trades, but the main drawback
is obvious theres no longer just
one or two people from our papers
in each community, which mean no
longer a face of the paper everyone
knows.
Now, instead of the editor showing up to any given event and gaining temporary admission with a
smile, our reporters tend to hold up
a camera and announce their presence. But this weeks incident has
given me a reason to reconsider the
simplicity of that habit.
We all understand the reluctance
people might feel about having their
families photographed. Just because

The last time the city went from unlimited trash collection to a single bin, it was
a disaster.
Amid scores of complaints, people
dumped their excess trash in all sorts of
inappropriate locations, including other
peoples cans and the public works facility.
But six weeks into the citys new, limited garbage contract, there have been
no major problems, public works director Ron Rieder told the Press on Tuesday. And in fact, an unexpected number
of people have wanted less capacity for
trash.
Everything has (gone) pretty well, he
said. The biggest problem Im having is
I didnt anticipate the amount of people
that were going to want a smaller refuse
can.

Avoiding Strife
There are walks of life where one is required to argue.
Lawyers, politicians and teachers are frequently in positions where they must argue persuasively for one position
or another. That is part and parcel of their job, and arguing
serves the valuable service of allowing the truth to stand
out in contrast to error or ignorance. In many areas of life,
however, arguing serves no useful purpose and just creates
needless strife and division. When people are making casual
conversation it is easy to find things to disagree with, but
such disagreements rarely foster peace and harmony. It is
tedious to be around someone who is always correcting us.
With family, friends, and co-workers it is usually better to
find areas of mutual agreement rather than disagreement.
And even when there is disagreement, sometimes the way to
resolve the issue is to start with what you agree on and
see if you can move on from there. When we must argue, it
can usually be done calmly and with civility. Sometimes we
find ourselves drifting into argument without realizing how
this even happened. Someone may have said something
that we feel must be challenged. As the discussion turns
from mild difference of opinion to angry disagreement, our
tempers flare and we often say things we will regret. By being
less argumentative you will probably find that you get along
with others much better.
Christopher Simon, Metro News Service
It is to ones honor to avoid strife,

I knew Kori Keyes was at Verona and
was a senior. I was so excite to play with
her after growing up watching her play for
VAGSA, Rainey said.
VAHS head coach Todd Anderson said
he definitely sees some similarities between
Rainey and the collegiate players hes
coached before her.
Much like Emma Ray (and other Veronagrown college players before her), Savanna is that athlete who is always seeking to
improve. From working out in the weight

Contact can also be made
through recruiting services,
allowing coaches to see
player bios and videos of
players before adding them
to their recruiting lists.
A lot of coaches saw me
play in Arizona last year
against a lot of really good
competition like the Texas
Blaze, Rainey said. Seeing
all the coaches there watching you was kind of surreal.
Reggie Rainey recounted
one head-turning event from
one of those games..
Running a pickle drill
in front of coaches from
Auburn, Georgia, Syracuse,
Indiana, Baylor and Army,
Rainey ran up the third baseline and tackled the baserunner.
Everyone was like, I
have never seen a kid move
that fast with catcher gear
on, Reggie said. Those
basketball skills has her
footwork so much faster
than your typical catcher.

and hitting off of a tee, she is always working, always striving to get better, Anderson
said. She is also a student of the game, asking questions and questioning answers with
past knowledge and experience.
Like her program forebears, she always
wants extra repetitions, she wants to understand why we have her do x instead of
y, and on the field, she gives it all she
sells out to make the play.

Verona History
February
Matthew Barton
40 years ago
Verona officials from the
village, town, school board
and Fitchburg met to discuss
a response to Madisons
planned annexation in the
Maple Grove area of the Town
of Verona. Developers planned
to add 456 housing units.
The Town Board originally
attempted to oppose it but
determined that could cause
other problems.
Verona Press editor and
publisher Henry Schroeder
pulled out of the race for village trustee because of his
position covering the local
government and concern over
objectivity.
Burglars stole about $400
from Verona Middle School
during a late-night break-in.
Village employees each
were given $600 raises.
The school board considered adding common bus
pickup areas throughout the
district, such as at Kay Park
and on Nine Mound Road.
This would help ease a transition to a city, which has different state requirements.

50 years ago
Two weeks after the
newspaper published bold
and unabashed support of the
high school referendum, the
husband-and-wife editor team
that was there for the Verona
Press debut was replaced
by Bob Anderson, who had
worked with publisher Butler
Delaney in Minnesota years
earlier. Two months later he,
too, was gone, replaced by
Henry Schroeder, who would
stay with the newspaper until
he sold it in 1998.
The school board agreed
on a purchase of a 20-acre
plot of land next to the proposed high school, which was
set for a March referendum.
The plot was purchased from
Leo and Martha Barth for
$2,000 an acre.
Frank Brown, Veronas
oldest resident, celebrated his
95th birthday. Brown jokingly
addressed his age by saying
Here I am, 95 years old, and I
dont feel one bit better than I
did when I was 21 years old!
Over 400 women from
all around Dane County were
present at the Food Fashion
Fair, held at the Verona High
School.
More than 1,000 people
attended a National Farmers
Organization ham dinner at the
Verona Area High School.
High school teachers
and students polled on their
opinion of the controversial,
newly aired 1960s Batman
series had mostly negative
responses. Several of the critics comments included, Too
