Verona head football coach reflects on Hall of Fame career
Anthony Iozzo
Assistant sports editor
Verona Area High School
head football coach Dave
Richardson took some of
his first lessons from Jim
Kot owski , an Or char d
Ridge science teacher and
youth football coach.
As a middle schooler,
Richardson, 50, remembers
Kotowskis philosophy to
look beyond football and
to make lasting connections
with his players.
He got to know you as
a person and did so many
incredible, extra things that
I still do as a coach like
taking kids out for pizza,
Richardson said. We do a
lot of things that we were
doing as middle schoolers
that made football so much
more special. That was my
first experience as to the
kind of guy and the kind of
person I wanted to be.
And that is what helped
mold Richardson into a
Wisconsin High School
Football Coaches Hall of
Fame inductee all the con-
nections like Kotowski and
Madison Memorial Hall of
Famers Wally Schoessow
and Gary Kolpin, he said.
Ri char ds on i s t o be
inducted March 23 at the
Marriott West in Madison.
My experiences with
some really good football
coaches and teachers have
gone way beyond the class-
room or the game itself. It
just means so much more,
Richardson said. It is all
the experiences that you
develop and the people that
you get to know that makes
a difference with how you
build a program or really
how you build anything.
I just had really good
people along the way, and
that is what I wanted to be.
I wanted to be like them.
Nomination for Verona
Ri chardson t ook over
for Verona in 2000, and he
looks at his time here as one
of the main catalysts for
his selection to the Hall of
Fame. But he said he could
not have done it alone.
Hi s coachi ng st aff
including assistants Scott
Cramer, Aaron Steger, Brad
Crandall, Lowell Davis,
Steve Turkington, Tim Dre-
ger, Fred Hable and Erik
Massey the players and the
community are also earning
the recognition from Rich-
ardsons nomination, he said.
The pl ayers make up
the teams and come back
year after year to help out
years after graduation. The
coaches help Richardson
on the field and with the
promoting of the sport. The
community not only sup-
ports the team at the games,
but it also has helped finan-
cially when problems arise
or when new equipment or
stadium and field repairs
were needed.
I try not to be the guy in
the spotlight. I try to deflect
that as much as I can. As
nice as it is, it really has to
be about the kids and the
guys helping me, he said.
Maybe that is why it is so
successful, because every-
one feels like they have
a piece of the pie and the
ownership.
Everyone is a part of

City of Verona
Commission approves fire department hiring process
Funding still needs
council authorization
mArk IgnAtowSkI
The Ci t y of Ver ona
Police and Fire Commis-
sion solidified their inten-
tion to hold an open hiring
process for the new Verona
Fire Department.
T h e c o m m i s s i o n
approved chief Joe Givers
recommended hiring time-
line, job descriptions and
department structure last
Wednesday. The Common
Counci l , however, st i l l
needs to approve funding
estimated at about $4,500
before the city can begin
advertising and hiring.
Commi ssi on members
approved t wo di fferent
hiring processes one for
full-time, career positions,
and one for paid-on-call
and paid-on-premise vol-
unteer positions. Both pro-
cesses will be open to any
qualified applicant.
The commi ssi on di s-
cussed most of the hiring
process and job descrip-
tion details in open session
before meeting with attor-
ney Steve Zach in closed
session to discuss some of
the legal details.
Commission president
Delora Newton said the
approved job descriptions
and hiring process are all
subject to legal review.
Newton told the Press
this week that the time-
lines for the hiring process
will be adjusted once the
city knows if it has funds
approved for the hiring
process.
Giver had presented a
draft of the hiring process
that called for applications
to be due in early Septem-
ber. Interviews were to be
done in late September or
early October. Fire fighters
would be given a condition-
al offer of employment by
early November and would
be hired pending drug and
medical testing by mid-
December.
The council had delayed
a decision on funding the
process last week despite
the citys finance commit-
tee approving the funds on
a 3-0 vote. The citys four
newest alders had voted to
wait until the Police and
Fire Commission had made
a final decision on whether
the hiring process would be
open or limited to current
Verona Fire District mem-
bers.
The Common Council is
slated to take up the matter
Monday, Aug. 26
Department structure
The commi ssi on al so
gave official approval to
the chiefs proposed depart-
ment structure.
Giver had sought to shift
the department to a 24-hour
coverage cycle where three
full-time lieutenants would
serve 24-hour shifts at the
station.
The l i eut enant s t hen
would report to a deputy
chief, who would oversee
the day-to-day operations
of the station. Giver would
remain chief of the entire
department.
A full-time fire fighter
would also be hired. Paid-
on-call and paid-on-prem-
i ses part -t i me members
would fill the remaining
officer and fire fighter posi-
tions.
Gi ver present ed sev-
eral staffing options to
the Common Council last
week. They appr oved
t he maxi mum amount
requested, Giver said, so
the department planned
to move forward with the
24-hour shift schedule.
Going with the 24-hour
shift schedule, the estimated
cost to run the department
in 2014 would be about
$797,000. Current staffing
levels and shift times bring
the departments budget to
about $660,000.
If the 24-hour schedule
isnt approved, the depart-
ment could look expect a
$727,000 budget for 2014
under a 12-hour rotation
with some staffing tweaks.
Giver said he and city
staff would continue to
evaluate their needs as the
city moves forward with the
budget process this year.
first time in six years, the city
has undergone a revaluation
of all properties. This is done
every few years in order to
keep assessed values in line
with market values.
However, unlike many
past revaluations, this one
wasnt necessitated by state
mandates, as overall assess-
ments were well within the
10 percent threshold. Instead,
it was motivated by several
external factors, including
updating the citys antiquat-
ed software and wild fluctua-
tions among different prop-
erty classes in recent years.
So while in 2007, the aver-
age homes assessed value
increased some 30 percent,
causing many distressed resi-
dents to wonder if their taxes
would go up accordingly
(they didnt), this year the
difference is closer to 1 per-
cent. And the average home-
owner should see it actually
drop.
Still, city assessor Bob
Courter has been inundated
with telephone calls since
letters first arrived in Verona
residents mailboxes Sat-
urday. On Tuesday after-
noon, he estimated hed had
about 60-70 calls and emails,
which he called expected
for a revaluation year.
Some of those calls are
long and involved one
took more than a half-hour to
answer every question but
many are quick. In fact, he
said, quite a few people call
or email without having read
the letter accompanying the
new numbers, and he simply
has to cite the information
included.
But whether the question is
simple or complex, whether
its reassurance or address-
ing a mistake or a perceived
problem with the assessment,
Courter promised Tuesday
he would eventually get to
every question.
Thats what open book
is for, to find the issues and
deal with them, he said.
Open Book is a statutory
period in which residents can
come to their local munici-
pal offices and see the entire
citys assessment roll and ask
questions. This year it begins
Thursday and continues until
Board of Review, which is
scheduled for Sept. 30.
At Board of Review, any-
one who is unsatisfied with
the answers from Courter
can contest the assessment in
front of elected officials.
And there could be a few
unhappy homeowners, given
the bizarre fluctuations since
the last revaluation.
At that time, the numbers
were based on sales when
the market reached its peak,
in 2005 and 2006. Then the
condo market dropped out
and single-family home
prices began going down
the year after, though not
as much in Verona as else-
where.
Now, home values are
based on sales in 2011 and
2012, when things were just
barely above the bottom of
the market. And yet, sales
have increased significantly
in the past few months.
Not only that, Courter
explained, condominium
prices probably fell 15 per-
cent more than other homes,
and single-bedroom condo
prices, such as the age-
restricted units at New Age
Circle, are even worse off,
with little movement besides
speculation.
When the market went
down, condos took the heat,
he said.
Through it all, including a
more-than-average drop in
high-end home prices, home
assessments in Verona have
remained constant.
All of that should be
reflected as much as pos-
sible given the timing in
the new model created by the
citys commercial assessor,
Paul Musser, who also han-
dled the 2007 reval.
That model is now on a
new Windows-based sys-
tem, called Market Drive,
which is used by the state
Department of Revenue and
Dane County and therefore
is better suited to producing
reports and providing instant
information than the previ-
ous DOS-based program,
Micro Solve, which the city
first installed in 1997.
Because of the planned
change in programs which
Courter said has been pushed
by the state Verona already
needed to input data on each
home, so the city authorized
a revaluation this year as part
of that process. And because
Verona was doing a revalua-
tion, that opened the oppor-
tunity to update the model it
uses to calculate market val-
ues for different categories,
such as condos, moderate-
valued homes and high-end
homes.
That prompted the letters
that were sent Friday to more
than 4,000 Verona homes.

The Married Life
Being honest can stem
homecoming drama
W
hether its returning
from a military deploy-
ment, a long trip, or
just from work at the end of a
hard day, we all have visions of
what a home-
coming should
look like.
The actual
experience,
however,
doesnt always
live up to those
expectations.
When disap-
pointments
occur, partners
are prone to make guesses as to
why the welcome is not what
they expected. In a heightened
state of arousal, when humans
guess, we typically go to the
most negative assumptions. This
is not only distressing, but also
harmful to relationships.
We all grow up with images
of wonderful homecomings.
Some come from religious para-
bles, some from holiday stories,
movies, television commercials
or other places. Take the movie
Love, Actually the imagery
of couples and families rejoin-
ing at the airport is powerful.
In selling anything from
perfume to coffee advertisers
understand that the rejoining of
two people after an absence has
magical, magnetic qualities. The
view of a joyous welcoming
is so satisfying that we might
dream of the event whenever
away from home. You can prob-
ably conjure a lovely homecom-
ing fantasy right this moment.
In reality, life often throws
up roadblocks to these perfect
scenarios.
Soldiers come home to wives
or husbands who have devel-
oped new skills and are more
independent, and to a family
that has had to function without
them. Our returning soldiers
must redevelop their roles in
their family, understanding that
the people on the home front
continued to have experiences,
grow and learn to do things
without relying on the absent
soldier.
Similarly exhausted busi-
ness travelers often return with
dreams of being welcomed as
heroes who have worked long
hours, existed in hotel rooms
and dealt with numerous cus-
tomers and colleagues. They
might instead find an exhausted
spouse who has managed his or
her own job, the kids and the
household and is even jealous
of the restaurant meals and the
isolation of a hotel room the
traveler has enjoyed.
In this case, the traveler may
be overjoyed to be home, with
expectations of a happy and
perhaps romantic reunion. The
partner may have similar wishes
but may also feel exhausted and
hope for relief from the daily
grind or even need a little less
human contact for a bit.
In both cases, though theres
no harm intended, the partners
may feel disappointed and
resentful as their hopes are
squashed. Often such couples
are simply unsure of how to
treat each other and honor each
others offerings and are too
tired to really consider each
others experience.
The most common scenario
is returning from the mundane,
everyday world of work. We
may have memories from ear-
lier in our relationship of the
partner being excited to see us
at the end of the day. But as the
relationship matures, the joyous
reunion is not always a reality.
Again, life intrudes. Work,
kids, physical problems, neigh-
bors, you name it, conspire to
take the focus off of each other.
You return home at the end of a
long day with a goal of a friend-
ly reunion and a little rest and
are met instead with the kids
bad behavior or a missed bill,
plumbing malfunction, or shop-
ping assignment.
Sometimes life sucks!
It is common for couples to
make logical errors and to lose
connection with each other dur-
ing the re-entry process. There-
fore, those brief moments when
they first come into contact are
critically important.
It is said a person has only
seven seconds to make a first
impression. And since couples
are very aware of each others
moods and body language, we
can probably reduce that first
impression adage down to less
than a second.
The partners cannot fool each
other by just pretending that the
exhaustion, resentment or other
bad feelings, are not there. So
honesty is the best policy.
When these important needs
are denied for a welcoming
partner and a relaxed environ-
ment or for a returning energetic
and attentive spouse couples
need to be able to grieve togeth-
er. This, too, requires sharing
information.
Perhaps the hardest thing to
remember is that such needs are
not childish or a sign of being
overly needy. The need for
human comfort from a partner
is as critical as food when one
is depleted from lifes many
demands.
Therefore, we must not feel
ashamed or simply swallow our
anger when reunions go poorly.
Instead, we need to help each
other understand what is hap-
pening.
Sometimes, we feel exhausted
or even overwhelmed by wor-
rying about additional demands
or expectations. Rather than
trying to pretend to be totally
into the reunion, its best to
acknowledge these feelings and
remind our partner that it is not
personal.
This is not simply an excuse
for not paying attention to each
other. Rather, it is reassurance
that each other is cared for, and
it creates an opportunity to plan
together how to make this better
as soon as possible.
Being direct and forthcoming
can relieve a lot of tension and
guesswork.

Infinite Relationships in Verona.

County proud to partner
with Epic on road fixes
As county executive, I have
the honor of meeting with busi-
ness leaders across our county to
talk about their vision for contin-
ued success and examine what
county government can do to
ensure they have a happy home
here.
Recently I visited the Epic
Systems Cam-
pus and while
t he cont i nued
g r o wt h a n d
d e v e l o p me n t
of t hi s gl obal
success st or y
thats right in
our backyar d
is most impres-
s i v e , I wa s
equally struck
by the sense of community and
level of civic engagement shown
by Judy Faulkner and her team.
That willingness to partner on
efforts that are a win-win for
both the Epic campus and the
surrounding community bodes
well for all employees of the
company and the thousands of
families whose lives are posi-
tively impacted by the growing
number of jobs Epic sustains.
Its because of that spirit of
collaboration that Dane County
recently took the lead on making
traffic improvements at the inter-
section of County Highways M
and PD just outside of Verona.
New turn lanes and signals there
will help Epic employees return
home evenings with a smoother
commute.
In t he comi ng years, t hese
roads wi l l be expanded wi t h
additional traffic lanes and dedi-
cated bike lanes constructed all
intended to meet the growing
transportation needs of our area.
We get more done when we do
it together, and these improve-
ment projects shared by Dane
County along with the Cities
of Verona and Madison show
together we deeply value what
Epic and its workforce mean for
our region.
Joe Parisi is the Dane County
executive.

Church welcomes new
assistant pastor
Victoria Vlisides
The new Resurrection
Lutheran Church assistant
pastor has been in Verona
just a few months, but he
is already enjoying his
time.
One reason is the big-
g e r - c i t y
atmosphere
that comes
with being
in the Mad-
i son area.
But Jacob
Haag, 25,
who grew
up in Fond
d u L a c ,
moved to the Verona area
in May and says he not
only enjoys the access to
opera shows and golf a
few of his hobbies but
also the friendly faces
here.
Haag is in his third year
of studying to obtain his
Master of Divinity at Wis-
consin Lutheran Seminary
in Mequon and is in his
first official pastoral posi-
tion.
He also worked with
youth programs in Fort
Collins, Colo., from 2008-
2010.
He earned his bachelors
from Martin Luther Col-
lege in New Ulm, Minn.,
in 2010. After that, he
spent a year st udyi ng
abroad in Leipzig, Germa-
ny, at Lutheran Theologi-
cal Seminary.
He knew he wanted to
be a pastor since he was in
middle school.
As for why he wants
to do it, he sums it up as:
"Just sharing the timeless
truths of God's words with
people's constantly chang-
ing situations."
Haag will be pastoring
at Resurrection for about

Youth Ballet planning Nutcracker auditions
The calendar may still
read summer, but its
never too early to start
thinking about this years
hol i day season. At t he
Ve r ona Yout h Ba l l e t
(VYB), auditions for The
Nut cracker are al ready
being scheduled.
Nutcracker 2013 infor-
mation will be available
at the VYBs home studio
at Ballet U in the Verona
Athletic Center (VAC),
411 Prairie Heights Drive
from 4-7 p.m. Thursday,
Aug. 29. Visitors may view
photographs, costumes and
DVDs from the show as
well as try out a few steps
from the choreography.
VYBs Nutcracker is a
non-competitive communi-
ty performance opportunity
open to students enrolled
in any dance studio, ages 5
through adult, with no expe-
rience necessary. Placement
auditions (all auditioners
receive a part) will be held
at the VAC on Saturday
afternoon, Sept. 7 for ages
11 and older and Oct. 5 for
ages 5-10. Rehearsals are
on Saturday afternoons.
The performance will be
Dec. 21 at the Verona Per-
forming Arts Center. There
is a $35 audition registra-
tion fee per family, but no
addi t i onal part i ci pat i on
fees. Financial assistance is
available by application.
In its eighth year last
December, VYBs Nut-
cracker, choreographed
and directed by Charmaine
Ristow and sponsored in
part by the Verona Area
Chamber of Commerce,
featured almost 100 danc-
ers from nearly 10 studios,
performing to a sold-out
audience. Ristow said danc-
ers develop teamwork and
camaraderie, having fun
and forming lasting friend-
ships while learning about
the complex structure of
building a ballet from audi-
tion to performance.

to help the district commu-
nicate rapidly with all par-
ents and guardians when bad
weather cancels or delays
school or schools go into a
security lockdown.
Parents dont need to sign
up for the system. They are
automatically enrolled when
they register their child for
school online this month,
sai d di st ri ct t echnol ogy
director Betty Wottreng.
The Aug. 30 trial run will
include a message saying
this is a test of the new sys-
tem.
Any parents who dont
receive the message should
contact the office of their
childs school to update their
contact information, or go to
the districts home page for
help, Wottreng said.
The district this spring
spent roughly $19,000 for a
contract with SchoolReach
that runs until August 2015.
The di st ri ct was cri t i -
cized in May for not com-
municating quickly enough
for parents when a fugitive
manhunt on May 2 sent
schools into an extended
lockdown.
Whi l e t he di st ri ct has
roughly 5,000 students, only
600 parents were signed up
for voluntary text message
alerts and 1,650 for email
alerts at the time of the man-
hunt. That prompted a letter
of apology to parents from
superintendent Dean Gorrell
for not having adequate (or
any) communication about
this.
The new system will be
used spar i ngl y di st r i ct -
wide, but individual schools
could use it to remind par-
ents about events like back
to school night, Wottreng
said.
Using the new system,
schools could also opt to
send out only texts, e-mails
or voice messages, or all
three, she said. The system
also can send messages to
more than one guardian,
such as when the parents
are divorced and in separate
households.
Its a powerful tool, and
I think it will serve some of
their needs for communicat-
ing with their constituents
quite well, Wottreng said.
The new system was one
of many security upgrades
for the district this summer.
More than $300,000 was
set aside to pay for remod-
el ed ent r ances at f our
schools, to install keyless
entry systems at all sites and
to replace 25 older surveil-
lance video cameras at Vero-
na Area High School with 66
new ones.
Officials balked, however,
at the $105,000 estimate for
the new cameras at VAHS,
and instead spent roughly
$60,000 to install 45 camer-
as 38 inside and seven out-
side the school, said VAHS
associate principal Brian
Boehm.
The new syst em wi l l
enable us to archive and
search footage for an extend-
ed period of time, Boehm
wrote last week in an email
to the Verona Press. In
addition, the picture clarity
will be a substantial upgrade
over the previous system,
which is 15-20 years old.

Verona part of planned
$24 million electric upgrade
alliant will replace five
substations on west side of
Madison, with Verona work to
start in 2015
Mark ignatowski
Alliant Energy is planning to invest
$24 million during the next 10 years to
improve power reliability and supply in
Verona and West Madison, the compa-
ny said Monday in a news release.
Driven by residential and busi-
ness growth, demand for power has
increased over the past several years in
the area, explained Joe Zelinski, Alliant
Energy project manager.
The project will include replacing
most of the equipment in five substa-
tions and installing new transform-
ers, adding overhead and underground
electric circuits and pole upgrades, the
release said. The project is slated to
start just west of West Towne Mall in
Madison and crews will work their way
outward along the lines from there.
In the Verona area, work will likely
start in 2015 and last through 2016,
Alliant Energy spokesperson Scott
Reigstad told the Verona Press this
week.
The project will include new poles
and lines along the distribution lines in
the Verona area.
New circuits will be installed at the
Cross Country substation just north-
west of the city and at a substation on
the citys southwest edge. Reigstad said
those projects alone could cost between
$1.5 and $2 million each.
About 25 percent of the $24 million
project will be spent in the Verona area,
he said.
The changes will also add flexibility
in routing power from different sourc-
es in the event of an outage or system
problem. The work will begin in Sep-
tember and should wrap up in 2023.
During that time, Alliant may build one
or more new substations if demand war-
rants it, the release said.
Reigstad said the Verona area has
been eyed as a potential place that might
need an additional substation if demand
and growth continues in the area.

Give, But Give Wisely
It is good to give to charity, but we should do our homework
before giving our money away. Giving to a poorly-run charity is
tantamount to lining the pockets of unscrupulous hucksters. Even
well-meaning charities sometimes run afoul of the basic guide-
lines for a well-run charity. Charity Watch (charitywatch.org) rates
national charities, and in their view, a well-run charity should
have at least 60% of their operating expenses going to chari-
table programs, and preferably at least 75%. Charity Navigator,
another organization which rates charities, recommends that you
be proactive in your giving (i.e., avoid knee-jerk reactions), avoid
charities which are not transparent, and be careful of charities
whose names may sound like reputable charities but are not.
Charity Navigator even has a Top Ten list of best practices for
savvy donors. By all means, give to charities, but do it in such a
way that your money has the most bang for your buck.
Christopher Simon for Metro News Service
But since you excel in everything, in faith, in speech, in knowl-
edge, in complete earnestness and in the lovewe have kindled in
you,see that you also excel inthis grace of giving.

Art in the park
Paoli was bustling Saturday afternoon as Art in the Mill Park ran from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. An outdoor art fair graced the banks of the Sugar
River off the lower terrace in the historic Old Mill, and people filled the Town of Paoli in perfectly sunny weather. Entertainment included
the Bluegrass Music of Off the Porch. The event is a major fundraiser for the Autism Society of South Central Wisconsin. Proceeds from
the silent art auction and a portion of the sales of beer specially crafted for the event by Great Dane brew master Rob LoBreglio benefit the
programming of the Autism Society of SCW.

Ask the Verona
INSURANCE
Q. How can I lower the cost of my insurance?
A. W There are many opportunities to lower your insurance costs without
sacrificing coverage that is needed. One of the easiest ways is to keep all of your
insurance with one company. Almost every company offers some kind of bundling
discount if you insure your home and auto together. Check any associations
you belong to, they may be teamed up with some insurance companies to offer

Weigh out your options for physical damage coverage on an older vehicle, and

WINDOW FASHIONS & COVERINGS
Q. How can I dress windows with crank-out handles?
A. Crank-out style windows are very convenient for operation and security, but lets
face it; they are a pain when it comes to shades and blinds. Inside mounting shades are
most preferred with their sleek, streamlined look and they offer the best fit for energy
efficiency, light gaps, and they sit nicely on the sill. However, crank-out handles make
this impossible! There are a couple of solutions: Consider a shade that rolls from the
front of the headrail in order to clear the handle when lowered, or you might try mount-
ing your shade towards the front. Some crank handles can easily be relocated to face
the opposite way, or even be replaced with a folding style handle or smaller T-handle.
Outside mounting your shade may be an option, especially if you have top or side treat-
ments to act as a disguise. I always consider the functionality of all of your window
hardware when advising you on window coverings.

SENIOR LIVING
Q. How do I help my senior pack up for their move into an Assisted Living Facility?
A. The following list offers a few tips to help your senior pack and prepare for moving.
Help your senior with sorting, packing, and moving and handle their items with care
and respect.
Listen as your loved one talks about items they must leave behind.
Be helpful and positive even if you do not agree with the decision to move.
Recognize that moving to a new home represents a major change and with change, comes
fear of the unknown.
Promise to call and visit often after the move (and then follow through).
Be positive and calm, this will help your senior feel secure and safe. Focus on your senior
and help him/her with this big transition.

MORTGAGE LENDING
Q. Does a buyer need a perfect credit score to purchase a property with
a low down payment?
A. Denitely not. In fact there are still loans available in certain areas that allow
you to purchase an approved property for as little as 0% down with a minimal
mortgage insurance payment! Having a higher score helps, but having a lower
score doesnt eliminate you from low down payment programs. If the score is on
the lower end, the lender will be looking for some compensating factors. Some
of these factors include assets, good job history, low debt-to-income ratios and
so on. If youre interested in purchasing, but not sure if you would qualify;
contact me directly for a no cost/obligation consultation.
Bringing experience and attention you deserve!

PRESCHOOL
Q. My child doesnt seem to be worried about going to
kindergarten in the fall. Should I be worried? This is a big
transition!
A. Many children now have previous exposure to a school-like
setting prior to kindergarten. If they have attended any kind of 4K
or private preschool program they often nd it to be a very smooth
process when they start kindergarten. Some children may not appear
to be anxious but may have some fears. Either way, the best thing you can do is not project any fears
you may have yourself. Talk calmly and positively about the new school year but dont dwell on it.
Too much talk ahead of time can create more anxiety. Find out if your childs school has an Open
House or orientation and be sure to attend. Seeing the actual space and meeting a friendly teacher
ahead of time goes a long way in easing rst day jitters for both of you!

Q. My daughter is moving across the country to take her rst job. Can
she deduct moving expenses?
A. Generally, yes, moving expenses are deductible. And the deduction is a
good one even for youngsters on their way to a rst job because moving
expenses are an above the line deduction. This means you can deduct
moving expenses without itemizing your deductions on Schedule A. You
can only deduct job-related moves, not moves unrelated to a job change. The
new job must be at least 50 miles further from your old home than your prior
job or if its your rst job, more than 50 miles from your old home. Theres
also a time test requiring that you work in the new area for at least 39 weeks
during the 12 months following your move. You cant use form 1040-EZ or
1040A if you deduct moving expenses. Use the full 1040 form. To see the
types of deductible expenses, look up form 3903 or ask your tax preparer.

DENTIST
Q. Does it matter what toothpaste I use?
A. Not Really! Toothpaste alone does not clean teeth. Toothbrushes do! Tooth brushing removes plaque, food
debris and stain. The paste assists the brush in cleaning by using its abrasives and surfactants to make for more
effective cleaning. Toothpaste also helps lubrication and makes us feel like we have done something. For adults, the
fluoride in toothpaste is the most important factor. All over-the-counter adult toothpastes have the same potency of
fluoride, but some pastes, especially those so called natural pastes, do not have fluoride. Some adults that have
high risks for tooth decay may want to consider prescription strength toothpaste for additional decay prevention.
There are differences among toothpastes, but much of what is advertised is more marketing than real substance.
Some pastes market for whitening or fights cavities or reduces plaque or even strengthens enamel. The truth
is all toothpastes, when used with good brushing, fight gingivitis and reduce plaque and if fluoride is present, fight
cavities. Whitening toothpastes create a lot of buzz, but unfortunately nearly all whitening pastes do not actually
whiten enamel but may remove surface stain that makes some teeth appear whiter. Sensitivity toothpastes on the
other hand can be effective in treating mild tooth sensitivity of certain types. There is an added active ingredient
not present in regular pastes that can help manage sensitivity. In the end, fluoride is the key feature and most adult
toothpastes provide that. Dont sweat over which brand. Brush twice daily and floss once daily.

PHYSICAL THERAPY
Q. I have a referral for Physical Therapy for hip and leg pain with a diagnosis
of piriformis syndrome. What is this?
A. The piriformis muscle is a deep muscle located in the posterior hip area beneath
the gluteal muscles. It assists with stabilizing the pelvis, external rotation the hip
joint, and provides support of the femur while in a standing position. The piriformis
muscle and tendon are located in close proximity to the main nerve roots that form
the sciatic nerve. When the piriformis muscle is strained or has increased tension,
it causes compression of the sciatic nerve, resulting in pain, radiating symptoms
and altered sensation into the low back and leg. Thus, a diagnosis of Piriformis
Syndrome and Sciatica are often overlapping. Treatment of this diagnosis can be
effectively completed by a skilled Physical Therapist. Contact Stellar Rehabilitation
for more information and treatment of this painful and limiting condition.

Q. I recently had knee surgery and my surgeon suggested that I get
massage on my knee after the stitches come out. What is the reason
for this?
A. If you open a box of toothpicks you will see that they are all tightly
packed and going the same direction. This is what muscle bers should look
like under normal circumstances. If you turn the box upside down and dump
them out they will lay on top of each other in every different direction. This
is what muscle looks like after it has been cut and is forming into a scar.
Therapeutic Massage works to break down that scar tissue and realign it so
that the bers are all going the same direction again. Preventing scar tissue from forming will help
you regain your normal range of motion and speed up your recovery time.

Q. How do I create curb appeal?
A. Take a look at the front yard. Make a list of the things that need
attention and take care of them first. Add fresh flowers for a pop of color
- mums in the fall, perhaps. This will help create an inviting atmosphere.
Add fresh mulch to the flower beds for a finished look. Keep the lawn
mowed, bushes trimmed, and weeds picked regularly in the spring and
summer. Rake the leaves in the fall and keep the sidewalks and driveway
clean of snow in the winter.

INVESTMENTS
Q. Can you Avoid Cramming for College Savings?
A. If you have children, youre keenly aware that its getting close to back-to-
school time. But someday, back to school will mean off to college. Will you be
nancially prepared for that day? College is expensive. But you can help yourself
by saving early and often. For example, if you started saving when your child was
3, and you contributed $200 monthly for 15 years earning 7 percent a year, youd
accumulate about $64,000. But if you waited until your child was 13, and you saved
the same $200 per month earning the same 7 percent a year, youd have accumulated
about $15,000 by the time your child was ready for college. Of course, these examples
are hypothetical and dont reect the performance of an actual investment or strategy.
Whichever college savings method you choose, youll nd that saving early and often can make a big
difference when paying for the high costs of higher education.

HEATING/COOLING
Q. Should I be concerned about, and what products are available to
control indoor air quality (IAQ)?
A. According to the EPA, the air inside your home can be up to 100 times
more polluted than the air outside and considering the fact that most Ameri-
cans spend approximately 90% of their time indoors, air quality indoors may
present greater health risks than outdoor air pollution. A variety of products
are available to help control the quality of air in your home. These include
high efficiency air cleaners, automatic humidifiers and dehumidifiers, air
exchangers, zone control systems and UV lamps. To learn more about any of
these products, contact Dave at OK Heating and Air Conditioning.

SENIOR CARE
Q. What are Cataracts and how do I know if I have them?
A. Cataracts occur when the lens of the eye becomes cloudy and affects the retinas ability to properly
interpret and transmit signals of light to the part of the brain that governs sight. Vision then becomes
cloudy or blurred. Cataracts most commonly affect adults over age 80 and they generally are a result of
the proteins contained in the eyes lens bunching together, distorting vision. Cataracts can affect one or
both eyes causing vision problems. Some are caused by ultraviolet light exposure, previous eye injury, or
as a result of diabetes. Some signs include: Blurred vision, difculty reading, poor vision at night, halos
around lights, sensitivity to bright lights, and discoloration of the eyes lens (yellow/brown tinge). Colors
seem dull which make it difcult to differentiate between blue, purple and black (in advanced stages).
Physicians recommend comprehensive eye exams every two years for adults 60 and older to detect early
signs, as well as other diseases that affect the eyes (e.g., glaucoma, macular degeneration). For early stage cataracts, glasses may
help. In other cases, surgery is needed to replace the old lens with an articial lens. While many cataracts are caused by wear and
tear on the eyes lens, there are preventative measures to take that may deter cataracts from developing. These include not smoking,
not drinking excessively, and avoiding steroid use. Wear sunglasses to protect eyes from ultraviolet light, and make sure diet contains
green, leafy vegetables and other foods containing antioxidants. Talk with seniors about the
warning signs and symptoms of cataracts. Encourage a visit to a vision specialist early to
better the chances of treating this condition.

Q. What questions do I need to ask when buying a condominium?
A. When you purchase a condominium you agree to abide by specic provisions relating to the use, maintenance
and repair of your unit and your use of the shared areas of the condominium. You should at minimum ask:

decks, patios, windows, wall coverings, ooring, etc. your responsibility or the Associations responsibility).
for the associations budget, the monthly condominium fees, and whether there is a reserve account for large
expenses. You dont want to be surprised by a large assessment for the repair of any common elements.

Back to the Final Four
Cavaliers crush Argyle to
win sixth Western section
in seven years
Anthony Iozzo
Winning big games is nothing new
to the Verona Home Talent baseball
team, and it proved once gain that it
is one of the best teams in the West-
ern section this past decade with its
sixth title in the past seven years.
Besides being the best hitting team
in the section with four of the top 10
hitters this season shortstop Justin
Scanlon (24-for-50), center fielder
Derek Burgenske (30-for-63), third
baseman Danny Koss (21-for-52)
and right fielder Zach Spencer (21-
for-56) the pitching of Ben Wal-
lace and the defense behind him have
also led to the 17 wins in 18 games,
including Sundays 9-1 win over
Argyle at Stampfl Field that clinched
a spot in the Final Four.
We know we have the best hitting
team in the section, manager Dale
Burgenske said. Now we have to
go and prove we have the best hitting
team in the league in the next three
games. It was a very satisfying
and rewarding day for the team.
One of the big blows was by des-
ignated hitter Luke Yapp in the bot-
tom of the fourth. After a walk to left
fielder Derek Murphy and a single
to left by catcher A.J. Stoffels, Koss
bunted Murphy and courtesy runner
David Burgenske to second and third.
Yapp followed with a line shot off
the bottom of the wall in left to score
both runners and make it a 4-1 Vero-
na lead.
Derek Burgenske got on me after
my first at bat (a strikeout), and that
kind of motivated me, Yapp said. It
felt good. I havent one solid like that
in a while.
Second baseman Klayton Brandt
followed with an RBI single to score
Yapp, and Verona led 5-1.
That was more than enough
offense for Wallace, who went on to
Home Talent League
Pitcher Ben Wallace congratulates designated hitter Luke Yapp after scoring in the bottom of the fourth inning Sunday against Argyle in the Western Section champion-
ship. Yapp hit a 2-run double in the inning and helped Verona win its sixth section title in seven years with a 9-1 win.

Dreams of a team state berth
Verona excited for
potential rise in 2013
Anthony Iozzo
Junior Jessica Reinecke might
be the defending individual
WIAA state champion, but the
Verona Area High School girls
golf team has a lot more going
for itself as the 2013 season
begins.
With all five starters return-
ing Reinecke, senior Rachel
Hernandez, junior Amanda Hol-
man, and sophomores Bailey
Smith and Hanna Rebholz
Verona already has some expe-
rience and depth on the roster.
Add sophomore varsity new-
comers Emily Opsal and Melis-
sa Biesmann who head coach
Bailey Hildebrandt said will be
rotated into the lineup all season
to the mix, and the Wildcats
look to be moving up the leader-
board throughout the year.
If we can get four scores in
the 80s and lower, we will defi-
nitely are going to be compet-
ing, Hildebrandt said. Melissa
and Emily have a lot of talent,
and they were really improv-
ing last year. They have been
working hard. It is nice to have
so much depth to utilize in these
meets.
The girls have all have played
in tournaments or worked on
their game this summer, and
the team has a potential to shoot
from the mid-70s to the mid-to-
upper 80s from No. 1 through
No. 5, Hildebrandt said.
Reinecke returns as the obvi-
ous No. 1 after winning the state
title in 2012 with a 3-over par
147 at Cherokee Country Club,
edging 2011 champion Emily
Joers. The rest of the spots will
most likely be rotated as the sea-
son progresses. In the first tour-
nament of the season last Friday
at Yahara Hills Golf Course,
Hernandez was No. 2, while
Smith was No. 3. Opsal and
Biesmann were in the No. 4 and
No. 5 spots, respectively, but
Rebholz was battling an injury.
Rebholz is expected to be No. 4
in the next few tournaments.

Sports editor
Dramatically upgrading the
schedule of the Verona girls
tennis team head coach Mark
Happel knows the Wildcats
are going to take their lumps
this year.
Were certainly going to
lose more matches than last
year, he said. But well be
better for it by the end of the
year.
The goal after all, Happel
said is to have your team play-
ing its best come last Septem-
ber and early October.
Verona, which participated
in the SPASH tournament
after the Press Tuesday pub-
lication deadline, continues
a stretch of eight matches in
three days this weekend, fac-
ing three of the top-ranked
teams in Wisconsin as part
of a Madison vs. Milwaukee-
area challenge.
Among the competition, the
Wildcats will face top-ranked
Homestead, fourth-ranked
Divine Savior Holy Angel,
fifth-ranked Arrowhead and
14th-ranked Whitefish Bay.
Area teams Middleton, Wau-
nakee, Madison West and
Madison Memorial are also
competing. Play starts in
Verona at noon on Friday and
continues at 9 a.m. on Satur-
day.
The Wildcats finished 14-4
overall (7-2 Big Eight Confer-
ence) in dual meets last year
and are hoping for a possible
top-three finish within the
conference.
While seniors Marissa Wil-
son and Kaela Amundson are
the only returning starters on
varsity, they part of a solid
core with three other seniors
that have been waiting for
their opportunity.
If we stay healthy, work
hard and improve, we should
field a strong team and cer-
tainly should compete for a

Richardson: Hall of Fame ceremony set for March 23 at the Madison Marriott West
this, and everyone should
be pr oud of t he gr eat
accomplishments an ath-
letic team has. It builds a
sense of community and
pride. It has just been fun
to be a part of a commu-
nity that embraces that.
And that philosophy is
somet hi ng t hat cont i n-
ues from an early age and
the different connections
Richardson made growing
up.
By t he t i me he knew
that he wanted to teach
and coach, he was already
helping out in college. At
21, he was working full-
time as a teacher and a
head basketball coach at
Holy Name Seminary in
Madison. He later became
the athletic director and
head football coach before
moving on to Wisconsin
Rapids Assumption and
Whitefish Bay.
And then the Verona job
opened up.
It seemed like a perfect
setting for me to come in
and use all that informa-
tion, knowledge and expe-
rience put it to a smaller
communi t y and r eal l y
devel op a program t hat
can withstand the test of
time, he said.
Connections for a
lifetime
Richardson looks at his
past jobs as parts of his
identity and said he hopes
he can make connections
with the students he teach-
es and coaches just like
he was able to do with his
former mentors.
He s t i l l emai l s and
writes and talks to many
of hi s pr i or coaches ,
including Schoessow and
Kolpin.
And t oday, Ri char d-
son al ready has former
athletes returning to help
with the team, whether it
is coaching or just hang-
ing around at the pre-sea-
son camp and practices or
coming back to support
the team.
Verona graduates Jus-
tin Scanlon (2008), Jake
DeHaven (2009) and Bri-
an Feiler (2012) are all on
the staff this season.
You see these kids in
the hallway and the class-
room and in other sports.
It is almost like they are
an extension of you and
what you want to be, he
said. When a kid makes a
mistake, I take it person-
ally. I take it hard like a
parent might.
Richardson also preach-
es a sense of community
wi t hi n t he hi gh school ,
supporting all athletes and
classmates and nurturing
t he t hree-sport at hl et es
while communicating with
coaches.
We ar e al l i n t hi s
together, he said.
Continued from page 1 As nice as it is (to have recognition), it really has to be about
the kids and the guys helping me. Maybe that is why it is so
successful because everyone feels like they have a piece of the
pie and the ownership.

Greta Schmitz and Steph Keryluk; (back) Marissa Wilson, Kaela Amundson, Anna-Maria Hadjiev and
Lauren Supanich.
Tennis: Cats aiming for top three finish
allow just one baserunner for the rest of the
game.
I was a little nervous to start the game,
but if you are not nervous, you shouldnt be
playing in my opinion, Wallace said. I just
got the cobwebs out, and once again our team
scored some runs, and I knew what I had to
do. I just told myself to go after them, and I
did and felt really good after the third.
Wallace pitched seven innings and allowed
a run on four hits. He struck out four and
walked two. Cole Kroncke came in to relieve
Wallace in the eighth and struck out four in
two innings. He allowed no runs and no hits
and walked one.
Yapp also tripled and scored on an RBI sin-
gle by Scanlon in the sixth. Stoffels added an
RBI double to score Murphy in the fifth, and
he scored on an RBI sacrifice fly by Koss after
tripling in the seventh.
Verona also added three runs in the first.
Scanlon walked to lead off the inning, and he
stole second. Spencer followed with an RBI
single to right and reached second on a passed
ball.
After Derek Burgenske walked, first
baseman Matt Peetz hit a blooper into left for
an RBI and a 2-0 lead at the time.
Argyles only run came in the third on an
infield single by Dylan Schwitz, a blooper into
center by Cory Stamm and an RBI fielders
choice by Lee Bohlman.
Justin Crotty picked up the loss for Argyle.
He allowed eight runs on 12 hits. He struck
out one and walked two.
Verona plays Southeastern champion
Stoughton, which defeated Fort Atkinson
13-11 in 12 innings, at 1 p.m. Sunday at
Stampfl Field to open the Final Four. Stough-
ton hasnt made the Final Four since 1986.
We know that we are going to be the
favorite, Dale Burgenske said. We just have
to be ready to play. We have had enough
pressure four out of the last five years. That is
not going to be a factor. It is whether or not we
can play ball like we know we are capable.
Middleton and Monona are the winners out
of the Northern and Eastern sections, respec-
tively. Verona travels to Middleton Sept. 1
and it hosts Monona Sept. 8.
I couldnt ask for a better group of guys
to play with, and to play three more weeks
with them, means the world to me, Wallace
said.
top half finish in the confer-
ence, Happel said.
Middleton, once again, fig-
ures to far and away be the
best team in the conference.
Likewise, Madison West and
Memorial should also put
forth very good teams.
Junior Anna-Maria Had-
jiev (16-10) returns atop the
Verona singles lineup. Had-
jiev dropped her first match
at sectionals a year ago and
things wont be any easier
this season, as the sectional
still possess two of the areas
top singles players in Wauna-
kee senior Shelby Chorney
and Middleton junior Emily
Oberwetter.
The only other flight to
reach sectionals last season,
the No. 1 doubles team of
Cari Monroe and Cassidy
Schorr, advanced on to state.
Monroe and Schorr won two
round at last seasons WIAA
individual state tournament
to reach the round of 16.
Graduating following last
season, Verona will replace
its doubles team with sopho-
more Lauren Supanich and
Wilson.
Supanich posted a 22-3
record at No. 3 singles last
year, while Wilson moved to
No. 3 doubles.
Sophomore Greta Schmitz
(17-6) held her own a year
ago, though even more will
be expected of her and junior
Steph Keryluk at No. 2 and
3 singles this season. Ash-
ley Griffin takes over at 4
singles.
Needing to replace two
graduated doubles teams,
Amundson and Genna Sti-
cha step in at No. 2 doubles,
while take over at 3 doubles.
Pitcher Cole Kroncke hurls a strike in the eighth inning Sunday. He struck out four and allowed no hits
and no runs in relief of Ben Wallace, who picked up the win.
HTL: Going for the fifth title in six years
Conference preview
Mi ddl et on, Madi s on
Memorial and Janesville
Parker are all expected to
battle Verona for the top of
the Big Eight this season. All
three teams are similar, being
young and retaining experi-
ence from 2012.
Middleton was tied for sixth
at state last season and returns
Loren Skibba (tied for 15th at
state), Sheenagh Cleary (tied
for 39th) and Kelly Wasser-
man (tied for 52nd). Hunter
Schultz and Meggie Acker
also return.
Madison Memorial was
10th as a team at state last
year, and it returns Robyn
Blanchard (33rd), Megan
Elmes (tied for 52nd), Claire
Franken and Mackenzie Fem-
rite.
Janesville Parker returns
state qualifier Taylor Wyss
and the rest of the team, as
well including Micayla
Richards, Lindsey Ahrens,
Kailey McDade and Kendyl
Richards.
Verona plays Middleton
Sept. 12 in a triangular with
Madison West at Tumble-
downs Golf Course, and it
travels to Sun Prairie Coun-
try Club Sept. 17 for a quad
against Madison Memorial,
Janesville Parker and Sun
Prairie.
Sectional preview
Of course, after the confer-
ence, the road to state is even
harder, especially with Madi-
son Memorial and Middleton
both being in Veronas sec-
tional.
Besides those two teams,
the Wildcats also have to con-
tend with Badger South pow-
ers Stoughton, Oregon and
Monona Grove and the Bad-
ger Norths Waunakee along
with Watertown and Beaver
Dam.
With only two spots avail-
able, it becomes clear that
Verona will need to post
some of the lowest numbers
in program history to make it
past that gauntlet. Some good
news is that the two courses
Verona has to play in the post-
season is Pleasant View Golf
Course (regionals) and Odana
Hills Golf Course (sectionals)
which are both local courses
that the Wildcats know well.
Despite the challenges that
lie ahead, Hildebrandt and the
rest of the girls are excited for
a chance to reach their goal
and make state as a team.
I know our conference is
tough and we always have a
tough sectional, so it will be a
fight, Hildebrandt said. The
first meet was a good test,
and we were definitely in the
mix with those schools, and
we definitely had strokes we
could drop in the next couple
of weeks as we get back into
the groove of things.
I am definitely hopeful of
what this season will bring.

Verona History
June
40 years ago
The Verona school district
began looking into the possi-
bility of buying back a special
education building from the
county so trainable students
who would no longer be
grouped together from vari-
ous districts could be inte-
grated with other students.
The board had recently
voted to authorize the integra-
tion as zero reject legislation
was moving through the state
level.
The Verona pool now
known as Firemans Park
beach got a paved parking
lot.
The old Main Cafe building
also known as the former
Eagles Nest inn and tavern
got a face-lift to spruce up
its appearance. That building
was torn down and replaced
in 2006.
Planned activities for
the Verona Hometown USA
Independence Day celebra-
tion the successor to the
previous years massive quas-
quicentennial included five
amusement rides, five game
stands, a tug-o-war, a parade,
firemens water fights, fire-
works and a helicopter giving
rides for $5.
The City of Madison
annexed 42 acres in the
northeast corner of the Town
of Verona, near Raymond
Road. The move put the city
within 2.5 miles of the Village
of Verona.
About 80 students from
Schenk School in Madison
visited the Geiger farm in
Verona to see what farm life
is about.
Roman Mimetz caught a
46-inch muskie during a fish-
ing trip at Lac du Flambeau.
30 years ago
The city approved a plan to
design a 14.5-acre park next to
City Hall, for a cost of just under
$4,000. The area is now known
as Veterans Park and includes
baseball, softball, tennis, bas-
ketball and soccer fields.
Verona opened its first
computer store, Service
Electronic Corporation, on
South Main Street.
The new owner predicted
computers would have as sig-
nificant an impact on society
as motorized vehicles. At the
time, typical systems the store
sold cost between $5,000 and
$7,000.
The citys recreation
department began a free play-
ground program at two parks,
for ages 5-12, each staffed
by a certified teacher and two
high school students, who
organized activities.
The program still exists in a
similar manner, though it now
comes with a fee.
The Verona school board
considered establishing a fee
for the use of the Natatorium
by the fledgling Verona
Aquatic Club. The board could
not agree on an amount, how-
ever, and began discussions
with the club, which disband-
ed earlier this month.
The girls track team fin-
ished as the runner up in the
Class B state meet, led by
400-meter state champion
Lisa Zentko and 800 state
champion Dianna Johnson.
The city decided to reas-
sess properties over the next
year to comply with a state
mandate. Assessments had
fallen to about 40 percent
below market value.
Four Winds Manor began
a $350,000 expansion project
that added 12 independent
living apartments over 7,000
square feet to the 21-year-old
facility.
Cross Country Estates
hosted one of three Parade of
Homes sites.

A local group unveiled a
monument honoring those
who had passed away in the
old Dane County Home. The
monument, at the facilitys
cemetery, took the place of
the missing headstones that
no longer marked the graves.
The monument was
dedicated June 12 and bore
images of the Dane County
Asylum, the leper colony
that had existed near Verona
and the poor farm. Mayor
Art Cresson gave one of sev-
eral speeches. Salem United
Church of Christ Pastor Mark
Yurs gave the invocation.
The facility is now known
as Badger Prairie Health Care
Center, and a Verona Press
story in 2007 found out that
the headstones had been
stored in the backyard of a
local family.
Verona Junior Luke
Sullivan celebrated his 17
th

birthday by breaking the all-
time state record in discus
with a throw of 193 feet 3
inches at the WIAA state track
and field meet.
Sullivan, who also placing
fifth in shot put, was known
as a big meet competitor.
He would go on to be a two-
time college All-American at
UCLA and qualify for three
Olympic trials.
He joined three other
Verona athletes there, Craig
Nechvatal (300-meter IM),
Jeremy Mikla (100 high
hurdles) and Deb Thieszen
(3,200).
Fundraising began for an
Ice rink in Verona. Paul Braun,
University of Wisconsin
hockey announcer, and Jeff
Sauer, the Badgers coach
were both in attendance and
gave speeches.
The area would cost an esti-
mated $1.1 million and seat
1,000. By June $218,000 had
been raised, and $500,000 by
July. Construction began in
the summer of 1993, lasting
over a year.
The rink, named The Eagles
Nest Ice Arena, officially
opened on Oct. 16, 1994.
The Plan Commission
approved plan to expand the
citys developable area by
2,489 acres by 2015, when
the estimated population
would be 8,750. It is currently
over 11,000.
An alternative bus sched-
ule that would have saved
money but caused elementary
students to start school an
hour later than older students
was voted down. The plan
called for fewer bus drivers,
who would pick up middle
and high school students and
drop them off before doubling
back to get elementary stu-
dents.
Verona schools got the
best mark on a state reading
test, with 93 percent of third-
graders scoring above the
performance standard.

team, coached by Verona soc-
cer coach Jeff Richardson and
featuring three Verona players
(Nathan Ziegler, Matt Boehnen
and Patrick Matthews), won
the Brookfield Invitation tour-
nament for U14 boys.
Daniel Galardi, a student
at Sugar Creek Elementary
School, was a state winner in
the Invent America! student
competition. The event was
held as a celebration of the
spirit of innovation. Daniels
Trainer Sled won the com-
petition of 51 competitors.
Veronas Babe Ruth team
(13 and 14-year-olds) won the
Hometown USA Days Senior
Babe Ruth Tournament. Adam
Burdsall was named tourna-
ment MVP after the team beat
Cross Plains in the champion-
ship game.
10 years ago

approved a site plan for Epic
Systems Corp.s first six-
building campus. At the time,
Epic employed 910 people,
an 80 percent increase over
when discussions had started
in 2001 with the city to build a
campus.
The company now has
nearly 7,000 employees and
is preparing plans for a fourth
and fifth office campus.
The Plan Commission
approved a plan for Pasquals
restaurant to open in a new
building on the northside
Prairie Oaks development.
Plans were for Caf Sedona to
be adjoined to the restaurant,
with the building also housing
Roberts Financial Services.
The Verona boys tennis
team sent three players to the
state tournament as individu-
als (No. 1 singles player Kevin
Fawcett and No. 1 doubles
team Tim Matthews and Tim
Guerkink) and advanced to the
semifinals at state for the first
time as a team.
Derek Stanley won the
state title in the long jump
with a leap of 22 feet, 7
inches, and the 1,600 relay
team took silver with a time
of 3:21.71. Stanley, who also
ran in the 400-meter relay and
the triple jump, led 14 Verona
individuals at state.
Stanley would later be draft-
ed by the St. Louis Rams in
the 2007 NFL Draft and played
two seasons, scoring one
touchdown on a memorable
80-yard, one-handed catch.

Michael Fiez
Splash pad opens in Fitchburg
The City of Fitchburg, in
partnership with the Fitch-
burg Optimist Club, had the
grand opening of the McKee
Farms Park Splash Pad Fri-
day.
The splash pad was con-
ceived and set in motion by
the Fitchburg Optimist Club
President, Joan Mohr.
The 5, 000-square-foot
facility is based on a farm
theme with spray amenities
including a tractor, windmill,
various animals and a red
barn that houses restrooms
and the mechanical system.
The concept has been in
planning stages since 2010,
when the Fitchburg Opti-
mist Club, headed by Mohr,
approached the City with the
concept.
The City agreed to fund a
share of the total cost with
the Optimist Club fundrais-
ing for the remainder. Com-
munity support for the splash pad was
overwhelming with many businesses and
individuals contributing to the effort.

The splash pad is a 5,000-square-foot, zero-depth water play area located at McKee Farms Park.

First reading on proposed chang-
es to Board Rule 420 - Enrollment and
Placement of Students Experiencing
Homelessness - Erin Schettler explained
that the changes to the Board Rule came
about as a result of the social workers
concerns and from an audit. erin re-
viewed the changes with the Board. Jon
Anderson and DPI have also reviewed
the changes. erin indicated that there
are around 100 homeless students in
the district. This is the frst reading of
Board Rule 420.
Report on racial disproportionality
in special education erin distributed a
document giving information on dispro-
portionality in Special education. She
indicated that the district was notifed of
the need to address this issue in 2006. in
2012, the district was notifed that it was
the only district in the state to be identi-
fed with signifcant disproportionality in
the state for more than fve years. Last
year the district began Beyond Diver-
sity training with equity teams to bring
awareness to how race impacts our
schools. the district increased partici-
pation in MSAN and provided a two-day
training with Elizabeth Kozleski, for-
merly of the Equity Alliance. The District
Diagnostician position was increased
to two. in addition, erin initiated a Dane
County workgroup where they devel-
oped a rubric to use for students already
identifed as special ed when they trans-
fer in. there have been many efforts by
the teachers as well. the district contin-
ues to be disproportionate but has made
signifcant improvement.
consider action on resolution
Chris Murphy explained the timeline of
the borrowing process for the perfor-
mance contracting. Within ten days of
approving the resolution, the district
must publish notice to electors in the
paper. that will be in the Verona Press
on Thursday. It explains why the district
is proposing the borrowing of $2.9 mil-
lion. More importantly, it starts a 30-day
clock. The district can go ahead after
30 days and borrow this money as long
as there isnt a petition signed by 7,500
district electors or 20% of the district
electors voting for governor in the last
general election (the lesser of the two)
At the June 3rd meeting, the Board
could approve the bond sale which
would lock in the rate for those bonds.
this is before the 30 days is up and will
be written in the bids for the bonds. the
closing on the bonds isnt until the end
of June. Concurrently on June 3rd, the
Board could also approve a bond sale
for refnancing $3.1 million of the glacier
edge debt.
In addition, the request for approval
of the performance contractor will be on
the June 3rd agenda. The district will be
sending out RFPs to three different com-
panies for that service. these should be
going out tomorrow and there is a ten-day
response time. once selection is made
(June 3), another resolution would be
made entering into a performance contract
with the company selected. the intent to
enter into a performance contract must be
published in the paper ten days prior.
the district has spent over a year
vetting this process. there have been
many meetings with school staff, con-
sultants, and the Building, Grounds
& Transportation Committee. It will
provide us with energy improvements
which will be good for the district, the
taxpayers and good for the environ-
ment. Motion (Behnke) second (Porter)
to approve the resolution as read. Mo-
tion carried (7-0).
Review of School Reach system
of parent notifcation Betty Wottreng
gave a brief overview of the current
notifcation system used by the district
called e-Notify. this is a system that par-
ents sign up for on the district website in
order to receive emergency or weather
notifcations, newsletters or other an-
nouncements. unfortunately, it doesnt
reach everyone. the high school started
using SchoolReach last year for atten-
dance and the district has decided to
expand that. We are now in the stages
of confguring it and it will be rolled out
soon. the difference is that parents
dont elect to receive. The contact infor-
mation will be taken from Powerschool
and sent out to all families. Next steps
are to determine district and site level
protocol and then also training. School-
Reach can be accessed through a
computer, telephone, or cell phone and
can be sent as a text, email, voice mes-
sage or multiple options. Many schools
across the country use this product. A
letter will go home to all families explain-
ing SchoolReach.

between a not-for-proft and a for-proft
group. they are considering dividing up
the way the groups are categorized. John
Schmitt is working with Steve Nibbe on a
proposal. This will be ready prior to July
1. The committee talked about the con-
cern in terms of reserving our facilities
by groups who want to use the gyms,
etc. they discussed School Dude for
scheduling that would allow on-line facil-
ity reservations. this would tie into us-
ing key cards to get into the gyms which
could be built into an online system. the
rollout of this is coming soon but there
are various issues on billing, accessing
the time, and creating the keys.
The committee talked about Red-
dan Park and the soccer feld usage.
Right now we are busing kids to Pellit-
teri Field just west of town. transferring

a Reddan contract with Edgewood.
There would be a fee of $75,000 over to
be paid over the fve years and then a
maintenance fee of $10,000 after that.
the district just recently received the
contract for review. Mark is looking at
the reservations piece in terms of felds.
It was not known whether the district
could put up signage. the district would
not be able to do concessions but could
charge admission. This would keep the
teams together in one place, be a better
opportunity for the younger kids and
handicap accessibility is improved.
The committee talked about the
tennis courts. There are six courts cur-
rently; two newer ones and four older
ones (30 years old or more). there is a

stand for people that use the feld for
Lacrosse behind the football feld and
charge for tournaments. They asked

SuPERINTENDENTS REPORT
Update on performance contracting
timeline Chris Murphy noted that a no-
tice will be published in the paper this
thursday indicating that the district will
consider performance contracting at the
June 3rd meeting. This is the minimum
10-day notice required. The approval
of the bond sale will be on the agenda.
Bids will come in at 10:00 a.m. on June
3rd. The bond sale is $2.9 million for
performance contracting combined with
just over $4 million for the additional
refunding of glacier Edge debt. PMA de-
cided to combine these for purposes of
the bond sale for some effciency and a
better interest rate. each would have its
own amortization schedule. the closing
would be June 20th. The main reason we
have to wait is that the $2.9 million for
the performance contracting is non-ref-
erendum debt and greater than a million
dollars so we must wait 30 days for any
petitions to be presented. chris noted
that in addition, there are $1.5 million
of override projects they are consider-
ing that have to be done this fscal year.
The major portion is the Badger Ridge
roof project that will need to be done
this summer. there are also some boiler
and chilling/cooling tower replacement
at the high school that need to be done
through the fscal year.
Update on North Stoner Prairie
neighborhood development Dean re-
ported that North Stoner Prairie plan-
ning committee met last tuesday. the
meeting was designated to talk about
safety (pedestrian / bike / car). One of
the concerns of the parents is that if
the streets are made pass through it will
compromise the safety of students / oth-
ers using the bike path. Dean reviewed
options 3 and 4 (for street design) that
were included in the Board packet. Op-
tion 4 helped with the safety of the cross
walk. The other thing they talked about
was a possible backside connection to
Stoner Prairie and Savanna Oaks. Dean
noted on the map a road from the new
development to a closer drop off point
that would serve both schools. it is indi-
cated as being entirely on district prop-
erty. Dean made it clear that the district
wasnt interested on putting it on our
land and was not interested in paying
for it. The Mayor of Fitchburg is going
to form a taskforce to study this further.
Dean and Chris will likely serve on that.
The next meeting is July 9th.
update on summer school - Aman-
da Mayo reported that they are still semi
open with online registration because
they have a few classes that havent
reached their max. Pre-K to 7th grade
has 631 seats taken. In addition, there
are 76 seats taken in ELL classes that
are invite-only. they did have to cancel
some sections due to low interest but
were able to create some sections where
there was higher interest. the middle
schools and high school are still work-
ing to fll invite only for kids in academic
need. the public will still have online
access or paper registration for courses
that are not full. Paper confrmations
for those who registered via paper will
be sent out in the next couple weeks.
those who registered on line should
have received an email confrmation al-
ready. Bus route information will be sent
separately by the bus company. Amanda
noted that they will start working with
them in the next couple weeks. Summer
school will run July 8th through August
1st from 8:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Monday
through Thursday except for the high
school. the high school will run 8:00
a.m. to 12:00 Monday through Friday.
Update on two-way immersion pro-
gram John Schmitt presented a Power-
point presentation which has also been
used in parent meetings. John indicated
that classrooms will be made up of
both native Spanish and native english
speaking students. He added that 50%
of the content will taught in Spanish
and 50% in english. there will be four
K classrooms (two at Sugar Creek, two
at Glacier edge). the plan is to serve
72 students. each classroom of 18 stu-
dents (SAgE requirements) will include
ten Spanish speakers and eight English
speakers. John reviewed some of the
tasks already completed and profes-
sional development plans. He thanked
members of the planning team: Alexis
Nass, todd Brunner, theresa taylor
and Lindsey Snow. He also thanked the
Board for their support.

INg DATES
Dean reminded the Board that there
will be a Board / Admin Retreat on June
3rd at 6:15 p.m. the topic will be site re-
source allocations.
COMMITTEE REPORTS
Building, Grounds and transporta-
tion Committee Amy reported that the
committee met earlier this evening. Ken
Kietzke gave his list of allocations for
building and grounds this year. there
are over $200,000 in security modifca-
tions to our buildings, which includes
remodeling, security cameras, and de-
vices to lock down corridors and sec-
tions of buildings. card access might be
included with the H&H items or possibly
out of Kens budget. There are a few oth-
er maintenance items that are already in
motion as they need to be done (skylight
at the nat).
The committee also talked about the
contract with Reddan Soccer Park. Mark
Kryka has been working with them. The
district would make a payment of about
$18,000 per year for four years for a to-
tal of $75,000. The maintenance contract
would be renewed yearly at $6,000 a year.
the contract would be renegotiated after
15 years. Mark will talk to the booster
clubs about covering some of the mainte-
nance fees. Dean would like to bring the
contract to the Board for approval at the
next board meeting. It has been reviewed
by Jon Anderson, and Ken. Dean noted
that he would like to pay as much up
front as possible. this would shift all of
the high school boys and girls soccer to
Reddan. This would allow them to all be
in one place and would reduce transpor-
tation costs and maintenance/porta-potty
rentals for the various locations currently
used. Dean will check with Reddan re-
garding signage.
the committee discussed the bids
for the Badger Ridge roof. There were
three bids ranging from $980,000 to $1.3
million. the lowest bid roofer special-
izes in metal roofs. this is under the
target of $1.2 million, which could allow
the district to slide $200,000 more for the
H&H projects.
Finance Committee Renee re-
ported that the committee met this eve-
ning. they reviewed the state budget
situation. She reminded everyone that
the district budgeted based on a $100
increase per student. We do not know if
it will be accurate. they hope to have in-
formation from the State in four weeks.
the committee also discussed the bond
refnancing timeline that was reported
on earlier. Lastly, the committee dis-
cussed the Act 11 credit. This is some-
thing that occurred in 1999 and had to
do with WRS. It was overturned by the
courts and credit was given back. Some
of the money remained on the books
(approximately $179,000) pending a
lawsuit which was settled in 2005. this
has been on hold but will now be moved
over. This will reduce cash fow.

5th Quarter marks
10 family-run years
Seth Jovaag
The idea for the 5th Quar-
ter Sports Bar and Grill was
cracked open, appropriate-
ly, over a few drinks.
Co-owner Holly Latsch
was tending bar at a differ-
ent Verona establishment
one rainy Saturday in 2002,
when her parents, Jack and
Laurel Butts, stopped in to
catch the Badgers football
game on TV.
I was bartending, and
just making small talk, (my
parents) said, You should
open a bar, and you should
run it. I said, Open a bar!
Ill run it, gladly.
Li ke many bar r oom
brainstorms, the idea idled
for a couple of weeks. But
after thinking about it, Hol-
lys husband, Jim, a Verona
native, decided to see if his
in-laws were serious.
They were. Within a year
and with the help of inves-
tors and long-time fam-
ily friends Roger and Adele
Olstad of Mount Horeb
a new 4,500-square-foot
sports bar and restaurant
was born on Veronas east
side.
5th Quarter officially
opened Aug. 13, 2003, and
last Saturday it celebrated
the 10-year anniversary
with a party that included
commemorative drinking
glasses, drinks that cost
five quarters, karaoke and
door prizes that included a
47-inch flat screen TV.
Scary start
While business is going
strong now, Jim, 48, noted
that the family risked a lot
back in 2003.
Everyone quit their full-
time jobs, he said. We
threw everything in. This
was going to happen or we
were going to be broke.
The bar is indeed a fam-
ily affair. Jim and Holly,
47, manage the day-to-
day operations, along with
Hollys sister, Leann Butts,
who has been there from the
beginning. Laurel handles
the accounting, and Jack, a
long-time local builder, did
most of the construction to
ready it for the 2003 open-
ing and still chips in with
morning preparations.
Jack and Laurel were no
strangers to Veronas enter-
tainment scene. Jack helped
build what is now Wildcat
Lanes in the early 1970s,
and the two were part-own-
ers of the bowling alley off
and on for years.
Before l aunchi ng 5t h
Quarter, Holly worked 20
years for CUNA Mutual
and Jim had worked for
CUNA and Wolf Appliance
in Madison and had helped
Jack build houses, too.
The busi ness al most
didnt launch, Jim said, due
to city rules that required
them to get 75 percent of
nearby property owners to
sign approval for them to
get a liquor license.
It came down to one sig-
nature, he said. I didnt

think it was going to hap-
pen.
On opening day, they
faced another problem. Big
crowds overwhelmed Jim,
Holly, Leann and their chef,
Brad Miller.
We opened at 3 oclock
on a Wednesday aft er-
noon, Jim said. By 5
oclock, both our kids had
pads writing orders down.
One was 14 and the other
was 11 years old. It was
insane.
The f i r st si x mont hs
required 100-hour weeks
from Jim and Holly, but
they eventually added staff
to ease the workload.
Going strong
The establishment seats
about 120, including an out-
door patio installed a cou-
ple years after it opened. It
features 13 flat-screen TVs
and loads of sports memo-
rabilia, and it often attracts
a crowd for big games, Jim
said.
While the standard Fri-
day fish-fry is their biggest
draw they average 300
diners those nights, Jim
said another attraction is
a passenger bus they run
to and from Camp Randall
during home Badger foot-
ball games.
Thei r Thursday meat
raffle is unique here, too.
At 4 p.m., Leann sells num-
bered paint stir-sticks for a
dollar; the winning number
gets a meat package pro-
vided by Miller and Sons,
while second place gets a
free drink.
The wrap-around bar
includes 10 beers on tap
including eight microbrews
like New Glarus Spot -
ted Cow, Capital Amber
and Lake Louies Warped
Speed Scotch Ale.
The menu features a lot
of standard, hearty bar fare
such as pizza, sandwich-
es and burgers, the most
heart-stopping of which is
the signature 5th Quarter
Burger, laden with pecan
smoked bacon, Canadian
bacon, grilled ham and a
fried egg, one of chef Mill-
ers creations.
It is amazing, Holly
said. Its a very popular
burger.
They also serve salads,
wraps and soups that are
popular for lunch, Holly
said. A large eating area
hosts banquets for class
reunions, baby showers,
birthday parties or other
events, too.
Business has been up and
down over the years. The
economic downturn in 2008
hurt sales, Jim said, and the
citys smoking ban in 2009
initially did, too. But since
the ban, their customer base
has shifted. Drinks used to
account for 60 percent of
sales; now food does, Jim
said.
A lot more families are
coming in now since the
ban, Laurel said.
Wi l l 5t h Quart er l ast
another 10 years?
Hard to say, said Holly.
She and Jim arent working
100-hour weeks anymore,
but seven-day weeks are
still the norm, which takes
a toll.
Laurel, however, hopes
the family can stick it out.
Im looking forward to
it, she said of a 20th anni-
versary. I just hope Im
alive yet.

Paoli
Paddlers

of Mount Horeb grin while drip-
ping with water from the Sugar
River after their boat capsized
during one of three Paddle and
Pig Out in Paoli canoe rides
Saturday. Helping them with
their boat is Mike Willett, who
brought his own kayak.
It is the Upper Sugar River
Watershed Associations signa-
ture event, held both as a mem-
bership drive and for awareness
of the nonprofit groups activi-
ties. It had the benefit of some
of the best weather its had in
years, bringing people to Paoli
Park for food, informative pro-
grams, entertainment and free
canoe rides down the river. Each
year, volunteers clear debris
in the months leading up the
event, leaving a shallow, mostly
leisurely ride back to Paoli.
Above and below, paddlers take a turn about halfway down the Sugar River toward Paoli.
Paddlers take the small rapids over a dam along the ride.
