A new
Schools acquire 3D printers, expand opportunities
SCOTT GIRARD
Unied Newspaper Group
Graph paper may quickly
become a thing of the past
in Verona schools.
With four schools around
the Verona Area School
District obtaining grants
for three-dimensional print-
ers this year, the teachers in
charge of them are excited
about the endless possibili-
ties the printers bring for
teaching.
And t he t eachers t hat
acquired the printers for
almost no cost at Savan-
na Oaks and Badger Ridge
middle schools and Stoner
Prairie and Glacier Edge
elementaries are jump-
ing at the new teaching
opportunities, planning to
use the printers for lessons
in design, math, engineering
and even English.
The printers use a special
material (plastic for those in
VASD) as their ink. The
printer layers that material
to follow a design that can
be made through a number
of online computer pro-
grams, creating a 3D render-
ing of anything from a fork
to the Eiffel Tower.
Theres so many creative
ways you can use the print-
er to enhance the student
experience, SOMS teacher
Frank Devereaux said.
Starting young
At Stoner Prairie, math
r esour ce t eacher Kar i e
Huttner has begun work-
ing with teachers on how to
apply the technology to les-
sons they are already teach-
ing.
The first group up: kin-
dergarteners.
The technology may ini-
tially seem more sophisti-
cated than a 5-year-old can
handle, but Huttner said the
teachers told her that theyre
already teaching the stu-
dents how two-dimensional
shapes become three-dimen-
sional.
Thi s gave Hut t ner an
opportunity to find models
of two-dimensional shapes,
such as triangles, that click
and fold together to form a
3D pyramid.
And whi l e she t hi nks
thats a great start, she is
looking forward to bringing
it around to classrooms to
show it off to students and
teachers and give the stu-
dents a chance to learn the
programming and designing
behind the printer.
When they start to under-
stand it youll have those
children that will come for-
ward and say, I can design
this, Huttner said. Until
you see it and what it can
print, you dont realize how
powerful it can be.
For example, Devereaux
is going to have a group
of Savanna Oaks eighth-
graders use the power of the
printer to learn about how
wind energy creates its own
power.
Along with the printer, he
was able to have a special
wind tunnel and Lego kit
donated to help him create
the project that will have
groups of students research,
design, print and test custom
wind turbines to see how
much power their design
can produce.
Devereaux also is hav-
ing his design classes create
computer models of their

Wisconsin Brewing Co. expands to Milwaukee
SCOTT GIRARD
The Wisconsin Brewing
Company expanded to the
sout heast ern Wi sconsi n
market this week.
The company, whi ch
opened i t s br ewhous e
in Verona in November,
originally opened only to
the southcentral Wiscon-
sin area, although WBC
CEO Carl Nolen said the
plan had been to open to
both the Madison and Mil-
waukee areas at the same
time.
The original plan was
to do that, but the Madison
guys ran so fast out of the
gate that we had to delay
Mi l waukee unt i l now,
Nolen said. WBCs four current beer offerings became available
became available in the
Racine and Kenosha areas
Jan. 27, and will be avail-
abl e i n Mi l waukee and
surrounding areas Feb. 3.
Mi l waukee s a ver y
important market to the
craft beer market, Nolen
said, adding that around
25 percent of a Wisconsin
brewerys sal es vol ume
usually comes from the
sout heast ern Wi sconsi n
area.
He sai d sal es i n t he
Madison area are ahead
of whe r e we t hought
t hey d be, t hough he
declined to give exact dis-
tribution numbers.
Along with the expan-
sion comes new produc-
tion capacity for the plant,
as Nolen said by the third
week of February they will
i nst al l recent l y-ordered
storage tanks.
That also means a new
brew, which Nolen said
consumers can expect to
see near the end of March
or beginning of April.
Wi t h e xt r a c a pa c -
ity comes new products,
Nolen said.
Brandon closes in on USAF dream
KIMBERLY WETHAL
Verona Press correspondent
For about as long as he
can remember, Verona Area
High School senior Chris-
tian Brandon has wanted to
be in the Armed Forces.
Ever since I was a child I
have dreamt of being in the
military, he said. Hours
of my childhood were spent
playing with plastic army
men, creating battles and
making the good guys win.
Last month he got one
step closer to securing his
post -hi gh school pl ans,
recei vi ng a nomi nat i on
from U.S. Rep. Mark Pocan
and fulfilling the require-
ment s for t he U. S. Ai r
Force Academy.
Brandon is one of 16 high
school students in Pocans
Congressional District who
earned a service academy
nomination.
I am proud to nominate
such outstanding Wiscon-
sin students to our service
academies, Pocan wrote
in a Dec. 13 news release.
These institutions provide
a one-of-a-ki nd experi-
ence for young men and
women committed to serv-
ing our country, and all of
my nominees have demon-
strated (that) they have the
det er mi na-
tion and tal-
ent to meet
t h i s c h a l -
lenge.
The appli-
cat i on pro-
cess for the
a c a d e m y
i s l engt hy,
complex and full of steps
that have multiple compo-
nents. An applicant must
meet the basic requirements
of being at least 17 by July
1 in the year they enter
the academy, be in good
physical and mental health
and have above-average
strength, agility and endur-
ance, along with numerous
other requirements.
Applying for the required
nomination does not guar-
antee receiving it. The can-
didate must be interviewed
by their state senator or
district representative after
having their application
approved by the respective
academy.
Brandon said one of the
biggest things the academy
looks for when consider-
ing applicants is leadership
experiences that they have
had inside and outside of
high school.
Brandon i s t he Chi ef
of Post for t he Verona
Explorers, a chapter that
provides police, fire and
EMS training to students at
their respective locations,
is the leader of the commit-
tee of Academic Promo-
tions for VAHS National
Honor Society Chapter and
participating in community
service projects through
Memorial Baptist Youth
Group. He has also stayed
active through track and
field.
Brandon said that plan-
ni ng hi s l i f e wi t h t he
assumption that he would
attend a military academy
after high school has helped
bri ng hi s mot i ves i nt o
focus.
As I grew, these (child-
hood) fantasies matured
and solidified into a legiti-
mat e desi re t o j oi n t he
Armed Forces, he said. I
have always craved adven-
ture and longed to become
the characters in the stories
that I loved so much, the
heroes that fought for free-
dom and justice in the face
of oppression they were
all fighting to protect some-
thing important to them.
Brandon is still waiting
to hear back from the Air
Force Academy on a final
decision.

Council adds accounting position
JIM FEROLIE
Verona Press editor
Aft er al l t he hubbub
over trimming budgets and
squeezing more out of less
last November, the Common
Council was surprisingly uni-
fied Monday in its decision to
amend the 2014 budget and
add a position.
Certainly it helped that the
position is budget neutral, at
least in terms of the city's gen-
eral fund.
The position, which got
extended discussions in the
Personnel and Finance com-
mittees, will be an accountant
that will split time between
the city's utilities and the
finance departments and will
cost about $75,000, including
benefits. But at least for 2014,
it will be fully funded by the
city's utility budgets.
That could create a problem
with auditing in the long term
leaning on ratepayer-funded
positions for taxpayer relief.
In fact, that sort of accounting
issue is one reason the much-
debated public works main-
tenance position was con-
sidered urgent in this year's
budget.
But city administrator Bill
Burns explained to alders that
future budgets will reallocate
appropriate percentages of
each of the city's accounting
positions -- the finance direc-
tor, the finance assistant and
the new accountant.
He told the council the loss
of the city's finance assistant
at the end of the year high-
lighted just how important
it is to have a backup at that
position during absences.
That's why, he told the Press
in an email Monday, the city
sought to amend the 2014
budget shortly after it went
into effect.
"Ideally we would discuss
a new position as part of the
budget process rather than in
January," Burns explained.
"We considered requesting a
Finance position in the 2014
budget, but decided to wait
knowing that there were lim-
ited resources and we thought
it would be better to wait and
seek approval for a full-time
position rather than trying to
fill a part-time position."
That plan went awry early
this year with the staff short-
age, he said.
Burns told the council that
auditors were satisfied with
the long-term rationale for
allocating utility funds for
finance, given the increasing
needs for utility accounting
and billing.
Ald. Mike Bare (Dist. 4)
added that Personnel dis-
cussed the long-term impact
and future funding and was
satisfied with the plan.
The budget amendment
required a two-thirds vote and
passed unanimously after a
brief discussion.
Extra weather
closings could force
lengthened year
SCOTT GIRARD
While many Verona Area
School District students
have likely enjoyed the five
days off so far this school
year because of the weather,
the unplanned breaks will
force them to make up at
least one day of instruction.
The state Department of
Public Instruction requires
districts to hold 180 days
of instruction each school
year along with a minimum
number of hours of instruc-
tion for each grade level.
VASD schedul ed 184
days of school, leaving four
days for weather or other
closings, but Tuesdays
cold-weather closing offi-
cially pushed the district to
five. And its still just Janu-
ary.
We still have a lot of
winter left, superinten-
dent Dean Gorrell said back
when the first two extreme-
ly cold days occurred.
Schools also closed the
last day before winter break
in December after a heavy
snowfall.
Gorrell said he and the
district administrative team
met Tuesday to discuss
options to make up the day,
which include spring break,
the end of the year, or a pair
of off days in April. The
teams decision will go to
the school board at its Feb.
3 meeting for approval.
Gorrell said one priority
is giving parents and stu-
dents enough time to plan
accordingly around a day
that was originally sched-
uled as a day off.
Verona Area High School
students will have to make
up additional hours, as well,
because they were already
eight minutes below the
required time of instruction
before this week's closings.
Not just cold
Some parents may also
have had some confusion
around the decision to close
schools Monday after the
district originally posted
and texted Sunday late
afternoon that it expected
schools to be open.
Much later about 11:30
p.m. the message changed
to say that schools would
be closed.
Gorrell said that change
was due to the temperature
itself not meeting the dis-
tricts threshold for clos-
ing schools, which is a
Wind Chill Warning. The
National Weather Service
had issued only a Wind
Chill Advisory for Mon-
day.
But around 10 p.m., Gor-
rell went for a drive on
some of the districts rural
roads, as he says he does
every time it snows in the
district, and decided he
couldnt guarantee some
of the snow drifts he had
to drive through would be
cleared by morning.
He said he had trouble
even i n hi s four-wheel
drive, which meant the con-
ditions would have been
worse for those without it.
The decision to close
Tuesday came late Monday
morning as the NWS post-
ed its Wind Chill Warn-
ing.
Rescheduled tours
Three elementary schools
had open houses planned
for either Monday or Tues-
day.
Stoner Prairie, Verona
Area International School
and New Century School
all planned to give tours
and speak with parents of
incoming kindergarten stu-
dents as the Feb. 14 dead-
line approaches for parents
to choose where to send
those children for school
next year.
At l eas t t wo of t he
schools planned to resched-
ule the open houses.
Bot h VAI S and New
Century rescheduled for
Tuesday, Feb. 4. VAIS
will hold its open house
from 8-9 a.m., while New
Century will hold its make-
up open house from 8-10
a.m. Stoner Prairie prin-
cipal Mike Pisani did not
respond to an email by the
Press Tuesday deadline.
City of Verona
Senior center candidates narrowed
JIM FEROLIE
Verona Press editor
The city has narrowed its
search for Verona Senior Cen-
ter director candidates to six
finalists, each of whom have
interviewed for the position.
The Common Council met
in closed session to discuss
the candidates Monday. While
it took no official action, city
administrator Bill Burns said
the council settled on a top
candidate that it will begin
negotiating with and that it
hopes to announce its decision
at its Feb. 10 meeting.
Diane Lanaville, who
retired this month after being
the only director the city has
had in the senior centers
20-year history, told the Vero-
na Press earlier this month the
job is a high-energy position
for a department with grow-
ing and changing needs.
The group being considered
includes Chris Nye, who has
spent the past eight years as
the centers programming
director. Other candidates are
Joy Schmidt, a former volun-
teer coordinator at the Mid-
dleton Senior Center, Mary
Hanson, community develop-
ment manager at Madisons
Capitol Lakes retirement
community, Christopher
Pedretti, former community
services manager at the City
of Madison parks department
and former wellness direc-
tor at Capitol Lakes, Kelly
Ziemer-Hillan, former execu-
tive director of the Senior
Resource Center in Freeport,
Ill., and Joe Wineke, a Vero-
na resident with a long politi-
cal career and experience in
state government.
Farley posthumously given MLK award
Town of Springdale resi-
dent Gene Farley was post-
humously awarded the Mar-
tin Luther King Heritage
Award Jan. 20.
The award was given as
part of the 34th annual Mar-
tin Luther King Jr. Day cer-
emony in the Capitol rotun-
da in Madison to Farleys
grandson, Chad.
Eugene Farley was a
passionate supporter of civ-
il rights and Wisconsins
annual Martin Luther King
celebration as well, event
emcee and WPR host Jona-
than Overby said. His lega-
cy includes tireless activism
in the civil rights movement,
fueled by his deep respect for
all people and the diversity
of life.
Were he here today, I
think he would be a little
embarrassed and unbeliev-
ably proud, Farley said
when accepting the award.
No award anywhere would
have meant more to him than
an award based on the ideals
of Dr. King.
Farley passed away at the
age of 86 on Nov. 8, 2013.
Viewed as a pioneer in
family medicine, Farley and
his wife, Linda, moved to
Springdale in 1982 when
Gene was hired to chair
the UW-Madison Medical
Schools department of fam-
ily medicine.
Shortly after his wifes
death in 2009, Farley and
other volunteers launched
the Linda and Gene Farley
Center for Peace, Justice and
Sustainability.

No other media offers the audience of loyal,
local, repeat readers youll reach through
community newspapers!
Next time, Ill browse
a little more carefully
W
hen youre wandering
through the endless
stacks at the library, its
easy to only pick up the books
that have colorful spines and eye-
catching images and feel comfort-
able in your hand.
Its easy to gaze beyond the
books with faded, stiff spines or
hard-to-read fonts.
Initially,
were happy
with our color-
ful armful of
books. But,
once you take
a look inside
you may realize
that what you
brought home is
no more than a
colorful armful
of books.
Browsing for companionship is
really much the same. Its just too
easy to judge a book by its cover.
Maybe its because I havent
always been the girl whos gone
on lots of dates. Theyve usually
gone really well, and often they
get to the second or third date
before Ive decided to move on.
But sometimes trusting people,
like me, pour our souls out to
guys we think have good inten-
tions.
Take the pretty-faced, smooth
talking boy I met several weeks
ago.
The moment we met each other,
we clicked. You know that feel-
ing when you meet someone and
you feel like youve known them
forever? That feeling where you
feel so comfortable with them, yet
it scares you because you hardly
know them? That was exactly
how it was.
We met on the dance floor. He
spun me around and we danced
the night away. From one country
song to the next, and all the latest
pop songs in between, my heels
clicked across the hardwood floor
and my hair brushed the ground
dip, after dip. The night was
almost perfect.
His easy charm and dashingly
good looks made him an easy
candidate to select and pull off the
shelves of my real-life library.
And then I started flipping
through pages.
When I got beyond the cover,
I was surprised by the plot that
unfolded before me.
One of the greatest facts that I
discovered about the sweet coun-
try boy who literally swept me off
my feet is that hes just a boy who
plays girls. A boy who is very
good at making it seem like hes
into you. A boy who is an expert
at manipulating women.
All the lines he told me, were
just that: lines. All the sweet
gestures were gestures for me
and a bunch of other girls. And
the whole act was just part of his
playbook.
Imagine my surprise. This col-
orful, glossy-bound book didnt
have a story I wanted to read.
This novel didnt make me want
to keep turning the pages to learn
more. It fortunately was not dif-
ficult for me to set it down.
I think this happens to a lot of
us.
I know that between myself
and my friends, weve had plenty
of disastrous dates that have us
either giggling in disbelief or
sighing in frustration.
Most people never intend to
judge a book by its cover, but
we do so anyway. We pick up
the bright red tome with eye-
appealing fonts and catchy images
on the cover and eye up the cute
guy in the coffee shop without a
second thought.
We do so even knowing that
many great books are hidden
behind dark grey, dusty covers.
Just as many great people are hid-
den behind a pair of reading glass-
es, a cup of coffee and a book.
Certainly, some of the books
that jump out at you can also be
great novels, but it makes me
wonder how many great books
Ive missed merely because Ive
been watching whats on the out-
side.

Letter to the editor
More study needed for north side traffic plans
Yes, there is urgency in a north
side plan as the Hwy. M construc-
tion is ready to start, as is the
Hwy. PD/Nine Mound intersec-
tion rework.
But in order to better decide the
upcoming changes, a little more
survey work should be done.
The traffic using hwys. M and
PD is probably not as much as
Mineral Point Road and Pleasant
View Road but in order to judge
better, just check for one hour at
each location at 8 a.m. Then it
would be easier to determine if
a double lane roundabout could
handle the traffic.
Whi l e Epi c has been here
and grown to several thousand
employees, Verona has not. There
has been some increase and some
Epic employees have started fami-
lies but the vast majority of staff
neither has children nor desire
to live in Verona. They choose
Madison where life might be bet-
ter for their tastes.
A survey at Epic that shows
both how long an employee has
worked there and what staff wish-
es for residence including Madi-
son-versus-Verona and apartment-
versus-house would help.
Now, Ms . Faul kner does
not wish to have Verona push
anything onto her staff, but she
might be convinced Verona can
better plan if she allows a survey.
The turnover at Epic is a concern
when it comes to housing as many
new employees dont want to
settle into a home and neighbor-
hood until they are sure this job is
their goal. Therefore some knowl-
edge of employment length might
uncover more long term plans by
staff.
To plan for commercial property
use along Hwy. PD for employees
traveling back and forth to Epic,
take a look at the way employees
leave the campus going in other
directions.
How many chose to stop in
Verona versus just rolling back to
their own neighborhood?
As far as the 18-year-old agree-
ment with the City of Madison, I
find it hard to believe those plans
i ncorporat ed what Verona i s
today, after Epic, rather than years
before it was built. So why wait?
Get out of it now and construct a
new one when the other processes
get going. Dont use ancient ideas
to forge ahead.

Exploration
Academy holds
mentorship
breakfast
SCOTT GIRARD
The Exploration Acad-
emy will host a breakfast
and information session
Feb. 7 for potential mentors
and others who want to hear
more about the schools
operation.
Formed last year, the
Verona Area School Dis-
tricts newest charter school
allows for more hands-on
and student-created proj-
ect s, and school di rec-
tor Mike Murphy wants
to expand further into the
community.
Theres a heavycom-
munity component to the
educational experience that
we want to also build,
Murphy said.
The school is organized
around students design-
ing their own projects and
working with people in the
community who have simi-
lar interests to their own to
see how their education and
interests can relate to the
real world.
Whether its taking time
to email back and forth with
a student interested in a
field or offering as much as
an internship, Murphy said
mentors can be a big part of
the schools success.
The event will consist of
breakfast from 8-8:30 a.m.
when students will also stop
table-by-table to talk infor-
mally with those in atten-
dance.
The morning will then
shift to a student panel
and project presentations.
Afterwards, those in atten-
dance will get a tour of
the classroom set up in the
Verona Area High Schools
K-wing and have time for
a question and answer ses-
sion with school officials.
Murphy said administra-
tors hope to reach their goal
of a mentor database that
goes 100-deep for starters,
so they can look up who is
willing to share their time
with students interested in
their fields.
Mentorships do not have
to be limited to profession-
al careers, Murphy added,
mentioning that hobbies,
interests or other passions
can also match up with a
students and help that stu-
dent learn how to apply
those passions.
Augustana Choir to perform
at St. James Lutheran Church
Augustana College The
Augustana Choir, its pre-
mi er a cappel l a choi r ,
will perform at St. James
Lutheran Church as part of
its regional tour at 7 p.m.
on Friday, Jan. 31.
Under t he di r ect i on
of Conduct or Dr. Paul
Nesheim, the choir will
perform a rich program of
choral music, both a capella
and accompanied by organ.
Highlights of the Choirs
2014 tour program include:
Classical and sacred
music including Alessan-
dro Scarlattis Exsultat-
eDeo, Schumanns How
Great are Thy Wonders
and Charles Ives Sixty-
seventh Psalm.

St. James Church is locat-
ed at 427 S. Main St.
The August ana Choi r
has a rich history spanning
more than 92 years. The
choir was founded in 1921
and chartered by the fac-
ulty of Augustana College
to serve God, the Church,
and our school through
choral music. In the words
of the choirs founding con-
ductor, Dr. Carl Youngdahl,
the choir would perform a
cappella and could thereby
appear in the smallest of
churches as well as the larg-
est and our concert would
be a sermon i n song.
Today, The August ana
Choir continues to bring
sacred choral music of the
highest caliber to people
around the region, nation
and world.

her employees, said that
he came to ask what time
the store opened, despite it
being posted on the door.

anymore. He was later seen
walking his dog past the busi-
ness at 12:15 p.m.

In the Presence of God
Brother Lawrence was a seventeenth century Carmelite
monk and author of the book The Practice of the Presence
of God. He was fond of saying that we should walk as in
His presence, i.e., that we should strive constantly to be in
conversation and communion with God. Brother Lawrence
was a simple man who was converted to holiness at the age
of eighteen upon seeing the sight of a dry, leafless tree on
a snowy midwinters day. The sight of the tree brought to
mind the coming season of Spring and Gods providential
hand. Brother Lawrence sought out a monastery after this
conversion experience where he strove to live continuously
in Gods presence. He wasnt a particularly learned man,
nor did he perform any great miracles or go on any great
crusades, but he devoted himself to sanctifying the ordinary,
everyday aspects of life. Indeed, Brother Lawrence worked in
the kitchen of the monastery for most of his life and one of
his favorite prayers was a prayer you could imagine yourself
saying at the kitchen sink: Lord of all pots and pans and
things, make me a saint by getting meals and washing up
the plates! Would we not all live far better lives by walking
continuously in Gods presence?

Straightforward planning to secure your fnancial future
Objective advice - no product sales and no commissions
Guidance on investments, insurance, taxes, social security
Kathy Hankard, CFP

Investing is great, but first things first
If youre interested in investing,
youre making a good decision.
However, there are some steps
youll need to take before you
even consider investing these
include planning documents, get-
ting your debt and credit rating
under control, and preparing for
unforeseen events.
Once youre ready with those,
you can move on to understand-
ing your potential investments,
diversifying your portfolio and
saving.
Establish planning
documents
If you have kids at home, please
get a will. Otherwise, in the event
of your untimely demise, the state
will choose who raises your chil-
dren. A will is also critical if you
have a non-spouse partner.
Other key documents include
living will and durable power
of attorney for health care &
finance. You can get these free at
dhs.wisconsin.gov.
Reduce your debt
The only good debt is your
mortgage (and maybe college
loans). Credit card debt and vehi-
cle debt should be avoided. Con-
solidate debt to the lowest inter-
est rate available. If your debt is
increasing, you are living beyond
your means.
Maintain a good credit
rating
Pay your bills on time! If youre
married, you should have a credit
card in your own name. You can
obtain your credit report for free at
annualcreditreport.com. For a
nominal fee you can purchase
your FICO score; aim for 720-
850.
Establish an emergency
fund
You should have enough cash
for three to six months of expens-
es. Note that this neednt include
taxes, savings, or charitable con-
tributions. This money should be
completely accessible and safe,
such as a savings account.
Got insurance?
Homes and vehicles must be
insured. Deductibles should be
as high as you can afford; low
deductibles mean higher premi-
ums.
If others are dependent on your
income, you need disability insur-
ance and life insurance. Term life
insurance (vs. whole) will get you
the most coverage for your mon-
ey. You also need health insur-
ance.
Save
If youre spending everything,
you wont have any money to
invest. The best way to save is to
put away the same amount each
month; ideally deductions from
your paycheck or automatic with-
drawals from an account.
If your empl oyer mat ches
contributions to your retirement
plan at work, you should con-
tribute at least enough to get the
entire match.
Dollar cost average
If youre saving regularly,
youre doing this. By investing
the same amount at regular inter-
vals, you will automatically buy
more when prices are low, and
less when prices are high.
Watch your investing
expenses
Be aware of fees, hidden and
otherwise, when you invest, e.g.
mutual fund expense ratios. On
average, funds with high expense
ratios do not perform better than
funds with low expense ratios, so
why pay the higher fee? Shoot
for less than 0.5%. Also, beware
of loads (commissions) when
purchasing funds.
Diversify your investments
You need a mix of stocks and
bonds, including international
holdings. For many investors, a
simple and effective method is to
buy broad-based index funds, or
one-stop shopping funds, such
as target retirement funds.
Understand the risk/return
tradeoff
Risk and return are directly
related: you cant have one with-
out the other. Dont let anyone
tell or sell you otherwise.
The trick is not taking more risk
than necessary. Understand, how-
ever, that if you dont take any
investment risk, you are exposing
yourself to another risk, that of
inflation.

Thrivent Financial
Three strategies for maximizing
your retirement income
Retirement comes with
many benefits, including
increased time for family,
travel and pursuing other
passions. What doesnt nec-
essarily come with it is a
drop in expenses.
Make sure that you have a
strategy for your retirement
income so that you are able
to keep up with monthly
bills, as well as have extra
for additional expenses and
giving back.
One of t he keys t o a
healthy retirement picture
is balancing your need for
retirement income against
st ayi ng i nvest ed i n t he
financial markets.
Working with a financial
professional, you can gain
insight into generating a
dependable source of retire-
ment income, strategically
spending down retirement
assets while optimizing your
Social Security benefits.
To get you started, here
are three financial tips from
Thrivent Financial for mak-
ing the most of your retire-
ment income.
Asset gathering and
rollovers
If you change jobs or
just have several retirement
accounts, such as individual
retirement accounts (IRAs)
or old 401(k) accounts,
consolidating them could
save you money and time
by keeping your retirement
funds in one centralized
place.
It can also make it eas-
ier for your loved ones
to locate your retirement
account should anything
happen to you.
Social Security
optimization
There is more to Social
Security than just applying
when you reach age 62. By
waiting to claim Social Secu-
rity, you can increase the
amount that you receive when
you do start your benefits.
Depending on your situ-
ation, it could be beneficial
to wait to start collecting
your full Social Security
benefits. For every year you
delay, your Social Security
benefits will increase, even-
tually putting your project-
ed Social Security benefits
over 100 percent.
Delaying the receipt of
your Social Security ben-
efits requires careful plan-
ning, since most people will
need to call upon your other
retirement savings to cover
your expenses until your
Social Security benefits pay-
out. A financial professional
can help you decide which
withdrawal option is right for
your personal situation.
Life insurance for death
benefit and income
You probably know that
the death benefit from a life
insurance contract is often a
key source of income for a
surviving spouse but did
you know that cash value
life insurance can also be
an income tax advantaged
source of retirement income
while you are living? A
financial professional can
help you determine if hav-
ing that type of life insur-
ance that can be leveraged
as income would be a good
fit for you.

How to protect your nest egg from financial downturns
( S t a t e P o i n t ) F r o m
increased unemployment to
commonplace home fore-
closures, its hard to forget
the devastating effects of
the 2008 financial crisis and
the worst recession since
the Great Depression.
While the hope is that
r egul at or y bodi es and
bureaus created in the cri-
sis wake will help prevent
a recurrence, some experts
say these reforms were
shaped by the same entities
responsible for the crisis
but that citizens have the
power to chart a different
course for their own eco-
nomic futures.
Whether policies were
formed with selfless or self-
ish intentions, you dont
need to quietly agree to
them, especially if they
are misguided. We have
a system that can respond
to the efforts of individual
citizens, says Jay W. Rich-
ards, Distinguished Fellow
at the Institute for Faith,
Work & Economics and
author of the new book,
Infiltrated: How to Stop
the Insiders and Activists
Who Are Exploiting the
Financial Crisis to Control
Our Lives and Our For-
tunes.
In his book, Richards
suggests that complacency
on the part of ordinary citi-
zens will lead to more seri-
ous financial disasters. He
encourages readers to take
steps to prevent future cri-
ses and protect their own
nest eggs:
Get informed
Many culpable entities
used the crisis fallout to
lay blame elsewhere and
increase their own power,
says Richards. But with
knowledge, prudence and
intelligent action, history
wont have to repeat itself.
The only way to pre-
vent deception and cyni-
cism during future crises
is for ordinary citizens to
get informed and outraged
enough to change our fiscal
and regulatory trajectory,
says Richards.
Take control
On l i n e e d u c a t i o n a l
resources can help you get
informed. To brush up on
basic financial skills, visit
MyMoney.gov, a site creat-
ed by the Financial Literacy
and Education Commission
with information on how
to save, what to consider
when borrowing, and how
to make a budget.
Diversify
Experts recommend bal-
ancing different types of
assets, such as cash, stocks,
bonds and commodities.
Having different types
of investments means you
might be better shielded
f r om economi c cr i ses,
because some assets might
fall while others might rise.
Dont rely on
your home
If the recession taught
people anything, its not
to rely too much on home
equity for retirement. Many
think their homes are more
valuable than they really
are or will be when its time
to retire.
Be philanthropic
Those concerned about
the future should be the
first to grow effective local
organizations providing
real safety nets for the des-
titute, says Richards, who
believes philanthropy is a
moral responsibility best
left to communities.
Think of the future
When a consumer bor-
rows, she or he alone bears
the debt. However, when
t he gover nment over -
spends for short term goals,
f ut ur e gener at i ons ar e
expected to foot some, or
all, of the bill.
This is immoral and no
fancy economic theory can
change that, asserts Rich-
ards.
Be civic
Your vote matters to poli-
ticians. Call, write and visit
them to express concerns
over economic regulations
you dont support.

Remember, you dont
need a Ph.D. in economics
to stay informed.

What will the new Fed chair mean to investors?
President Obama has nomi-
nated Janet Yellen, the current
vice chairwoman of the Federal
Reserve, to become chairwoman
of the Fed when Ben Bernanke,
the current chairman, ends his
term on Jan. 31,
2014.
What does her
appointment mean
to investors?
Many experts
think that Yellen
is likely to con-
tinue the policies
favored by Ber-
nanke, such as a
determined effort to keep short-
term interest rates at historic
lows until the unemployment
rate drops to about 6.5 percent
which may not occur until 2015.
Consequently, if you invest in
short-term bonds or certificates
of deposit (CDs), you may not be
seeing significant changes in the
rates you receive.
The Fed has less control over
long-term rates, but, in an effort
to stimulate the economy, it has
attempted to keep these rates low
by purchasing about $85 billion
in bonds a mix of Treasury
bonds and mortgage-backed
securities each month. The
Fed recently indicated they will
cut back to $75 billion a month
(tapering their purchases), and
since Yellen has supported this
program in her role as vice-chair-
man, it is anticipated that the plan
will continue.
If this happens, you will want
to pay close attention to your
long-term bonds, or bond-based
mutual funds, because if long-
term rates go up, the value of
your bonds will drop, perhaps
sharply, because no one will want
to pay full price for your bonds
when they can purchase new ones
at higher rates. Consequently,
you may need to adjust this part
of your portfolio.
The Federal Reserves ability
to adjust interest rates in response
to economic growth and inflation
attracts a lot of attention. But the
Fed also helps to regulate our
overall financial system a role
that has gained increased impor-
tance since the financial crisis of
2008.
Yellens background and phi-
losophy offer some clues as to
how she might approach this
aspect of her Fed leadership. She
has strongly advocated the idea
that proper regulation can help
prevent abuses in the financial
markets, thereby contributing to
fewer disruptions.
Yellen has been a good prog-
nosticator. She warned about the
housing bubble well before it
occurred, and she correctly pre-
dicted the somewhat slow recov-
ery from the financial crisis and
the accompanying low inflation.
In any case, no matter what
course Yellen charts for the
Federal Reserve, keep in mind
the Fed is only responsible for
monetary policy which, although
important, is not the only factor
affecting financial markets
and, subsequently, investors.
The president and Congress
manage fiscal policy, which cov-
ers spending and taxation issues,
some of which can have a direct
effect on your investment deci-
sions. For example, the tax laws
governing dividends and capital
gains are periodically changed,
and these revisions can certainly
cause you to at least review your
portfolio, and possibly make
adjustments.
As an investor, you need to
focus on those things you can
control, no matter who heads the
Federal Reserve, or what fiscal
decisions are made, or even what
periodic crises may erupt. And
that means you need to build a
diversified portfolio thats con-
structed to reflect your goals, risk
tolerance and time horizon.
While you need to be aware
of external events and how they
might affect your portfolio, youll
find that the changes in your
life marriage, new children,
new job, impending retirement,
will ultimately have a far greater
impact on your long-term invest-
ment strategy.

Sophomore Mandy Michuda won
the uneven bars and helped the Vero-
na/Madison Edgewood gymnastics
team to its first Big Eight Conference
win Thursday inside Glacier Edge
Elementary.
Michudas total on all four rota-
tions of 32.0 was good enough to
finish as the meets top all-around
score, while the Wildcat/Crusaders
defeated the Madison East/La Fol-
lette United co-op 126.650-117.175.
Michudas 7.90 was good enough
to edge Semmann for top honors on
the uneven bars.
The Wildcat/Crusaders took the
top four spots on the balance beam
and floor exercise.
Uniteds Morgan Keul finished
second with a 30.100, while Tatum
Teskey rounded out the top three
with a 29.350.
Junior Hannah Semmanns first-
place finish on the beam with an
8.30. Sammy Seyour, Kirsten Que-
off and Michuda took the next three
spots.
Queoff added the floor exercise
title with an 8.50, while Seymour,
Semman and Tatum Teskey rounded
out the top four.
Vault was the only rotation the
Wi l dcat / Crusaders di dnt wi n as
Seymours 8.15 tied Uniteds Cierra
McCoy for fourth place.
Emma McGuire led a sweep of
the top four spots on the beam and
top three spots on the floor as the
Wildcat/Crusaders JV team rolled
79.200-56.225.

Wildcats remain undefeated
in Big 8, but fail to hold lead
in loss against Notre Dame
JEREMY JONES
Sports editor
Something had to give when two
of the premiere boys hockey pro-
grams in the state dropped the puck
Friday inside the Resch Center.
Despite holding a 4-2 lead
against the top-ranked and unde-
feated Notre Dame Academy Tri-
tons with less than six minutes to
play, however, the Wildcats were
unable to close the door.
That was one of the most painful
losses I have had in recent years,
Wildcats head coach Joel Marshall
said. To be so close to victory over
a great team like that, and let it slip
away in the final minutes was tough
to go through for me, let alone the
boys playing.
Verona instead Tritons watched
senior forward Brett Gruber score a
crucial third period goal and even-
tually the game-winner to cap a hat
trick in a 5-4 loss Saturday.
Top-ranked Notre Dame has
owned the series, with half of
Veronas four regular season loss-
es in the past two seasons, coming
against the Tritons, including a 7-0
regular season win in Verona a year
ago. The Wildcats one win against
the Tritons was probably the big-
gest in program history.
Needing to knock off Notre
Dame to reach the WIAA state title
game, the Wildcats skated to an

the playoffs begin on Sat-

Wildcats were able to go
3-1 Saturday in the Big 8

The Wi l dcat s, whi ch
only have Beloit Memorial
left at 7 p.m. Friday on the
road, are now expecting
to finish in the top three.
As it stands, Verona lost
to Middleton, Sun Prairie
and Janesville Craig.
Sun Prairie and Mid-
dleton are strong teams.
It will be tough to place
ahead of those teams, co-
head coach Bob Wozniak
said. We will be pushing
them though, and we have
very good individuals that
will win the tournament
and that will help us with
the team score. We should
jump Janesville Craig.
The Cr ai g l os s was
winnable said Wozniak.
The problem came down
to allowing too many pins,
whi ch i s somet hi ng t he
team has been working on
all year, especially with
the makeup of the team
which has seven experi-
enced wrestlers and seven
inexperienced ones.

Angie Murphy said would
be tough especially since
junior Ebony Nettles-Bey was
absent to receive radiation
therapy for her ongoing bat-
tle with cancer the Verona
Area High School girls bas-
ketball team stepped up once
again on defense in a 46-27
win over Janesville Craig.
Craig has been playing
really well at home this sea-
son, Murphy said. A win
at their place without Ebo-
ny, who we have had quite
a while in our rotation, is
always a big win.
The No. 7 Wildcats (14-1
overall, 10-1 Big Eight) held
the Cougars (10-4, 7-4) to just
two points in the third quarter
after trailing by two at half-
time, and the offense stepped
up in the second half after a
slow start.
We made some small
adjustments, and the girls do
such a great job doing that
after halftime, Murphy said.
Freshman Alex Luehring
replaced Nettles-Bey in the
starting lineup. She finished
with six points.
Senior forward Lexy Rich-
ardson and sophomore for-
ward Grace Mueller each
added 13 points, while senior

Sports editor
Senior Kade McGilvray
clocked the Verona/Mount
Horeb boys swimming teams
lone victories Friday at the
Madison La Follette triple dual
in the 100-yard freestyle.
McGilvray posted his vic-
tory in the 100 free with a time
of 46.19 seconds more than
a second-and-a-half ahead of
former teammate Ben Geb-
hart, now swimming for the
Spartans. The Verona senior
added the teams only other
varsity win in the 100 back-
stroke in 56.38. Teammate
sophomore Bryce Angaran
followed as runner-up in
58.31.
Verona/ Mount Horeb
cruised past Madison La Fol-
lette, 123-46, and then lost
by nearly the identical score
to Madison Memorial as the
three-time defending state
champion Spartans rolled 123-
47. Madison Memorial rolled
over the Lancers 136-32.
Madison La Follette is an
older facility, and its diffi-
cult to swim fast times there,
Wildcats head coach Bill
Wuerger. Im optimistic that
we will swim even faster in
our remaining meets held in
newer facilities.
Angaran took fourth in the
200 IM with a time drop of
3.15 seconds. Junior Jimmy
Conway dropped 1.78 seconds
in the same event to finish
sixth.
Verona freshman James
Wellnitz posted a substantial
time drop in the 500 free, cut-
ting nearly seven second on
his way to a third-place finish
in the 500 free.
I was generally happy with
how the team swam, said
Wuerger, whose team finished
28 of 45 individual season-
best times.

ton at 5 p.m. Thursday for a

Junior Ellie Bohms power-play goal
midway through the second period Fri-
day sealed the Cap City Cougars fate in
a 2-1 loss while helping the Metro Lynx
move into a three-way tie atop the Bad-
ger Conference.
Verona junior Amanda Holman
scored Middletons first goal with 32
seconds remaining in the second period
before Bohm pushed the lead to 2-0 in
the third.
Cap City Cougar junior forward
Alexis Petersons goal with just under
five minutes remaining in regulation
pulled Sun Prairie within a goal. That
was as close as the Cougars would come
though as senior goaltender Hunter Kur-
bel turned away 19 of 20 shots on goal.
Middleton improved to 11-4-2 overall
with the win.
Meanwhile, Cap City goalie Sarah
Fuerstenberg stopped 16 shots.
The win set up a three-way tie between
the Stoughton Metro Lynx co-op, Cap
City Cougars and the Metro Lynx (5-1-
1).
Middleton hosts fifth-ranked Onalaska
(11-4-0) at 6 p.m. Friday inside Madison

Earlier in the week, Holman scored
two goals as the host Metro Lynx skated
past the Badger Thunder on Thursday
inside Hartmeyer Ice Arena en route to
a 3-0 win. Sophomore forward Lizzy
Conybear added a second period goal in
the win.
The Badger Thunder dropped to 6-9-1

loss. Metro Lynx freshman Erin Webb
needed only to post 11 saves for the win.

regulation to help the Tri-
tons force overtime, where
Gruber iced the comeback.
Verona was able to clear
the puck from its zone
only to watch the Tritons
regroup, came back and
backhanding a shot on net
from the boards at the goal
line.
Marshall said it was,
kind of a lucky bounce
that caught goalie Alex
Jones, who finished with 22
saves, off-guard and trick-
led in.
With the momentum sud-
denly turned in its favor,
Notre Dame, with the goalie
still pulled, crashed the net
with four guys and the puck
squirted out to an open guy
that jammed it back in for a
goal.
We were able to take the
momentum away for most
of the third period as we
got three nice goals on line
rushes entering their zone,
and took a two-goal lead,
Marshall said.
Not re Dame cal l ed a
timeout with 2:45 left and
pulled their goalie with a
faceoff in the Wildcats end.
Overtime was back and
forth and bit, we actually
had a pretty good scoring
chance, Marshall said.
We were playing pretty
good D-zone until the final
play when they converted
on another loose puck in
front of the net.
Verona fell to 14-2-2
overall on the season with
the loss, while Notre Dame
improved to 20-0-0.
Overall, the game was
a good measuring stick for
our players, Marshall said.
Unfortunately, in our sec-
tion we dont get to play top
quality opponents like NDA
very often during the sea-
son, so our guys mark those
dates on the schedule early.
We thought we could
play with any team in the
state again this year and I
think we proved it. Hope-
fully, the loss will leave
a little fire burning in our
boys to keep getting a little
better everyday.
Verona 5, Janesville 1
Verona got two goals
from Baker to help the
Wildcats improve to 9-0-0
Thursday in the Big Eight
Conference with a 5-1 win
over the Janesville co-op.
Senior captain Charlie
Parker, senior defense-
man Brett Storm and junior

Highlights of the 117-page
plan include recommenda-
tions for more lanes at the cor-
ner of Main Street and Verona
Avenue, better street connec-
tions, parking improvements,
unified streetscaping, building
size and use recommenda-
tions and a downtown public
space.
City planning director
Adam Sayre told the Verona
Press last week that the docu-
ment is ready for a public
hearing at the regular Plan
Commission meeting 6:30
p.m. Monday, Feb. 3.
Sayre said that while the
plan is fairly solid, he
would remain open to any
feedback people might still
have about it.
Residents have had ample
opportunities to weigh in on
the planning process. The city
held several public meetings,
a survey and one in-depth,
small-group visioning ses-
sion. The process was guided
by a steering committee made
up of business owners, school
officials, residents and public
officials.
The planning effort has
produced a plan that will
guide future development in
the citys core with goals of
making it more pedestrian-
friendly and improving traffic
congestion.
Most of the changes, at
an estimated public cost of
around $20 million, would be
implemented over the course
of many years, but it includes
some short-term fixes, as
well.
Obviously the plan has
some short-term, medium-
term and long-term changes,
Sayre said, adding that some
code changes and rezon-
ing could be done as early as
this spring. Were trying to
be more proactive for future
development.
Downtown feel
One of the main goals of
the study and subsequent
plan was to create a vibrant
destination for residents and
visitors, as evidenced in the
projects vision statement.
In order to do that, the plan
calls for a unified look and
feel to the downtown core
through design and building
guidelines.
The general design theme
includes wider sidewalks,
brick terraces and black
streetlights similar in form to
the current blue light poles
along Verona Ave., accord-
ing to the plan document, pro-
duced by MSA Professional
Services.
Buildings would be two or
three stories tall, have rela-
tively small setbacks from the
street of 5-15 feet and have
some off-street parking in
side or rear lots.
Another way to foster that
feeling of a downtown could
be the expansion of Home-
town Junction. The study
recommends closing part
of West Railroad Street and
expanding the green space to
the north of the current park,
which features a shelter on the
site of a former railroad sta-
tion and a veteran's memorial.
The plan also differentiates
between the downtown core
and the downtown gateway
areas further from the Four
Corners intersection. Gate-
ways or signature build-
ings will help announce to
people that they have entered
the citys downtown core.
That area would be between
Lincoln Avenue and Legion
Street along Verona Avenue
and between Paoli and Silent
streets on Main Street.
Traffic
The traffic improvements
are aimed at enhancing the
character and quality of the
downtown area by providing
better access to businesses
and homes, making the area
more pedestrian and bike
friendly and reducing school-
related traffic and congestion.
Highlights include:
Left, through and right-
turn lanes on all approaches
to the Main Street and Verona
Avenue intersection.
A traffic signal at Lin-
coln Street with the option
to remove the Enterprise
Drive signal as traffic volume
increases. The city would then
have to relocate park access
and reshape the intersection
of Enterprise and Horizon
drives.
Silent Street would
be connected through a
l ong-pl anned ext ensi on
to a realigned high school
entrance.
East Harriet Street would
be realigned to meet West
Harriet Street to relieve traffic
elsewhere
An eventual removal of
Plumbing and Glass Servic-
es, Inc. would make for bet-
ter visibility at Railroad and
Church streets.
Other mobility improve-
ments include a possible light
at Paoli Street, pavement
markings allowing better
driveway access and a poten-
tial dropoff site for the middle
school from Basswood Ave-
nue.
Pe de s t r i a n c r os s i ng
improvements, such as col-
ored concrete or brick line
crosswalks, would be made so
they are more visible.
Redevelopment
The downtown plan recog-
nizes that much of the rede-
velopment in the city will
have to come through private
sector investors.
In general, the study proj-
ects that downtown density
will increase. To that end, the
study calls for some mixed-
use projects in the downtown
core area.
About a dozen sites along
the two main roads have
potential for redevelopment,
according to the plan, because
theyre vacant, for sale or
have low property value ratios
or poor building conditions.
Other sites are expected to
change in value as road right-
of-way is acquired.
For example, the current
Kelley's Market Mobil sta-
tion would likely be acquired
to make room for the increase
in traffic lanes. As such, the
site would become part of a
mixed use development with
off-street parking.
Other sites offer different
mixes of residential, office
and commercial use.
As buildings change hands
and traffic increases, parking
in the downtown area will
become scarcer. As a result,
several redevelopment areas
are planned for future parking
projects. These include:
38 perpendicular park-
ing stalls on a realigned West
Harriet Street
State Bank and Walgreens
shared parking lot accessed
from Main Street
Public parking lot at 104
E. Verona Ave. (currently
SoJo Blau Salon).
A shared parking lot at
119-125 S. Main St.
A Church Street park-
ing lot created by removing
Quonset hut buildings and a
Shuman Street home.
Implementation
While the plan gives some
direction on how to plan for
the next few decades in the
downtown area, it doesnt
give an exact timeline or price
tag.
Short term within one-to-
two years projects include
updating development stan-
dards and zoning ordinances,
making improvements to
Silent Street, Lincoln Street
and Basswood Avenue, and
making some pedestrian
crossing improvements.
Short-term projects could
cost between $2.25 million
and $3 million, based on esti-
mates in the plan.
Midterm projects in the
two-to-five year range
include the first phase of the
Main/Verona intersection,
public parking lots at 104
E. Verona Ave. and Church
Street, Hometown Junction
park expansion and realign-
ments of Harriet and East
Railroad streets.
The midterm project is
estimated to cost up to $5.6
million, with the bulk of the
funds coming through tax-
increment financing.
The long-term project
of expanding Verona Ave-
nue and Main Street to two
through lanes in each direc-
tion is a couple decades out
and could cost between $10
million and $12 million.
Next steps
The public hearing is
another chance for residents
to get some last-minute com-
ments in about the plan, but
planners from MSA and the
city have taken feedback into
account every step of the way,
Sayre said.
Public comments have
dwindled, Sayre said. For
the most part, I think the plan
is ready to go.
The Plan Commission will
make a recommendation
Monday to the council, which
is expected to consider it the
following week.

proposal will have to go
through in the city of Fitch-
burg, including gaining a
conditional use permit.
Though t he Town of
Verona wont have much
of a say in the process
because its entirely in the
city, it has attracted the
interest of some people in
Verona because its close
to the Fitchrona Road bor-
der with the town.
Yahara Materials super-
intendent Tim Geoghegan,
who answered questions
at the meeting, echoed
Bergers sentiment, trying
to reassure those in atten-
dance that the company
wants to work with the
community as best it can.
We are a local company
and we have to work with
the local communities,
Geoghegan sai d. The
process is there so those
concerns you have can be
addressed. Theres nothing
here with a hidden agen-
da.
The proposed 50-acre
quarry at 6194 Grandview
Road, on the Robert and
Nancy Wolf property just
east of the Town of Vero-
na, would remain for 20
to 25 years and have three
phases, Geoghegan said,
before being turned back
into agricultural land and
eventually possibly the
residential development it
is zoned for.
Geoghegan faced con-
stant questions about how
the blasting, dust and other
potential pollution could
affect t he surroundi ng
neighborhoods and land,
but he reassured them con-
sistently that they would
hardly notice.
We feel that we can
work this to fit in the sur-
rounding area with very
little impact, Geoghegan
said.
However , when KL
Engineering representa-
tive Mike Scarmon, who
worked on a traffic study
done for the project, talked
about the six trucks per
hour that will travel west
on Grandview Road and
north on Fitchrona Road
to Hwy. PD, many in the
crowd cited that route as
a primary bicycle route
between the Military Ridge
and Badger Ridge bike
trails.
Scarmon said his com-
pany used a county biking
groups maps to determine
primary biking routes,
and those roads did not
show up, but many in the
audience said the roads are
used, anyway. They wor-
ried about injuries to bik-
ers on the routes with large
trucks driving on them.
Citizens also expressed
concerns about high-vol-
ume traffic times, such as
the mornings and after-
noons on school days, but
Scarmon told them that six
trucks an hour would not
have a large effect during
situations when a traffic
backup already occurs.
Geoghegan al so sai d
that if necessary, Yahara
Materials would help pay
for road improvements that
would help ease the traf-
fic flow, such as a left-turn
lane into the quarry access
road, and he pointed to
how those improvements
would benefit the area even
after the quarry closes.
Teresa Gui l i ani , who
lives seven-tenths of a mile
from the property, came
with a manila folder full of
questions. She cited a con-
versation with a Univer-
sity of Wisconsin professor
about the effects quarries
can have as the source of
much of her discontent
over the project.
She told the Press after
the meeting that any City
of Fitchburg support for
this project confused
her about what the over-
all picture is for land use.
She said development is
restricted in some areas
while others seem to be
gaining support.
She and Berger bot h
expressed concerns that
their well water could be
cont ami nat ed from t he
deep digging and blast-
ing a quarry requires, but
Geoghagen told them the
company has never dam-
aged a well and takes
measures to control dust
and other possible irritants.
One complicating fac-
tor in the approval process
is that while the property
itself is in Fitchburg, leav-
ing approval to the citys
Common Council, owner-
ship of Fitchrona Road is
split between Fitchburg
and the Town of Verona.
Geoghegan sai d t he
company would have to
come to a joint agreement
for how they will use the
roadway with both munici-
palities, but that process is
further down the road, well
after the proposal would go
through the citys approval
process. He said he expects
the company to move for-
ward in that process within
the next month or two.
He said after the meeting
the city had asked the group
to hold the public informa-
tion meeting before making
an official proposal.
Some things we can
address, some things we
cant, he said of what he
heard at the meeting, which
he said went OK.
City of Fitchburg
Hammersley subdivision advances amid water concerns
Developer plans
detailed study
before next step
MARK IGNATOWSKI
Several area residents
shared concerns about
water runoff from a pro-
posed 72-acre development
near Lacy and Fitchrona
roads last Tuesday.
The development will
move on to its next phase
which includes a compre-
hensive water study after
getting a unanimous vote
of approval from the citys
Planning Commission. The
development adjacent to
the Town of Verona bor-
der aims include a mixture
of housing, including 156
multi-family units, which
drew concerns about traffic
and crime.
Commission members
reviewed a comprehen-
sive development plan to
redevelop the Hammersley
Quarry site over a period
of several years. Despite
the plans approval, though
several commi ssi oners
made it clear they expect
more details about water
management at the next
phase.
Initial plans call for 184
single-family lots of vary-
ing sizes, 156 multi-family
units including apartments
of senior living facilities,
condos and rowhouses and
22 acres of park and open
space areas. There will be
wooded and open space
buffers on the east and
south sides of the develop-
ment and connections to
nearby pedestrian and bike
trails.
Last weeks meet i ng
included a presentation
by the development team
about the project, as well
as a public hearing and
questions from commis-
sion members.
Several neighbors shared
their concerns about water
quality, traffic and the
potential devaluation of
nearby properties associ-
ated with the multifamily
component of the project.
Steve Sheets, a Town of
Verona resident who has
measured water quality
in nearby Goose Lake for
nearly two decades, said
the proposed development
would further degrade what
the Wisconsin Department
of Natural Resources has
deemed a dead lake.
He said significant rain
event s t hose dump-
ing more than three inch-
es of water at a time
have increased in recent
decades. The resul t i s
more water rushing into
the Quarry Ridge retention
pond and ultimately Goose
Lake.
Water resource engineer
Rob Montgomery said the
development group would
provide more details about
the water issues during the
next phase. He said the plan
is to maximize infiltration
of runoff from the develop-
ment into the two bedrock
aquifers. Those underground
aquifers drain away from
Goose Lake, Montgom-
ery said, and towards Lake
Waubesa. The rest of the
runoff would likely be sent
to the Quarry Ridge reten-
tion pond.

homes to print out.
Their drawing has nev-
er been more detailed,
Devereaux said, noting that
for a project in which they
designed the SOMS build-
ing, they even made sure to
include the intercom on the
column at the entrance to
the school. It takes some-
thing that you have a design
in your mind and actually
brings it to life.
Delayed plans
While the possibilities
are endless long term, at
Badger Ridge at least, the
use will be limited initially.
Badger Ridge information
technology literacy teacher
Ross Cohen said the current
computer lab computers are
not up-to-date enough to
work seamlessly with the
software the printer requires.
That doesnt mean hes
going to let it sit around and
get dusty, though.
Hes been printing his
own creations to get com-
fortable enough with the
machine to teach his stu-
dents to use it, and feels he
just got to that point. He
plans to keep experiment-
ing to test its limits and
weaknesses, and he hopes
to print student projects for
those who put a couple
class periods of work into
designing something.
Its a hands-on, appli-
cable piece of equipment to
get students excited about
engineering and geometry,
Cohen said.
At Glacier Edge, sec-
ond-grade t eacher Amy
Klubertanz is limited by a
different technology the
printer itself. After print-
ing an initial bracelet and a
working nut and bolt, which
currently sit in principal
Theresa Taylors office, the
machine stopped working
because of defective parts.
So Klubertanz is waiting
for replacement parts from
the printing company and
looking forward to using the
printer to teach her students
programming and building.
The students will also
eventually create pieces
they can use as story start-
ers, Klubertanz said, giv-
ing the machine a purpose
beyond only the STEM
(science, technology, engi-
neering and math) fields.
In theory, its going to
be really great, she said.
(Second-graders) are very
concrete thinkers. To be
able to take an idea and
print it is a completely dif-
f er ent exper i ence t han
theyve ever had.
A small investment
In acquiring the four print-
ers, the district became one
of few area districts, includ-
ing the Stoughton Area
School District, to have 3D
printing capabilities.
But it didnt take a large
investment. The schools
spent a total of $150 thanks
to outside grants that funded
the printers completely, or
almost completely, in each
situation.
At S a v a n n a Oa k s ,
Devereaux worked with
Berbees Technology Edu-
cat i on Foundat i on and
received $3,500 worth of
equi pment bet ween t he
printer and the other equip-
ment for the wind project.
The other three schools
went through donorschoose.
org, a website for educators
to share initiatives and phi-
lanthropists to find programs
to fund. MakerBot, the mak-
er of the printer, created a
program through the website
that covered the price of the
machine, $2,500, if a group
raised $100.
At Badger Ridge, Cohens
mother, a fellow teacher
and a man from New York
quickly got him to that total.
Huttner used the schools
tech budget to fund the first
$100 of her initiative.
For $100, how could you
not have it? Huttner asked.
And Klubertanz found an
even cheaper deal, with a
special offer on the website
in which donations were
doubled, meaning the print-
er only cost $50.
All four teachers said the
biggest future expense will
be the plastic the printers
use, much like the expense
of ink and paper for regular
printers. Its unknown how
they will fund those pur-
chases, but it seems thats
a problem they are all right
worrying about when it
comes, with four spools
coming with each printer
initially.
In the meantime, the print-
ers are gaining popularity
with teachers and students
alike.
Every kid wants to print
somet hi ng, Devereaux
said.
3D printers: Schools receive grants to fund new devices
What is a 3D printer?
Invented in the mid-
1980s, it is a printer that
uses plastic, wax, resin,
paper, gold, titanium a
whole host of materials
instead of ink to create a
solid, three-dimensional
object. In much the same
way that your desktop
printer is directed to print
the words in a document,
the 3-D printers jets, guid-
ed by computer-assisted
design (CAD) software,
create an object by spraying
or squeezing one thin layer
of material at a time onto
the platform, then melding
them into place with a pre-
cisely directed laser.
As these microscopically
thin layers build up, the
desired three-dimensional
object slowly takes shape.
While 3-D printing is
not a fast manufacturing
process, it can be highly
efficient because there is
virtually no wastage. Unlike
traditional manufacturing,
where material is cut away
by machinery or a lathe to
create an object, the addi-
tive process of 3-D print-
ing uses only what is nec-
essary to make the object.
What can you make?
In theory, just about
anythingsays Jonathan
Rowley, design director at
Digits2Widgets, a London-
based firm that specializes
in 3-D printing. This tech-
nology has plenty of won-
derful applications. It can
be used for everything from
dental work to architectural
models, jewelry, precision
engine parts, spoilers (the
wings for Formula One
cars), dolls (with custom
faces), sunglasses ... The
list is endless.
On a much larger scale,
Boeing and Airbus are
already making numerous
small parts using 3-D print-
ing technology, and some
have visions of aircraft-han-
gar-size printers creating
huge sections of wing and
fuselage. By 2050, entire
planes may be made from
3-D printed parts. For the
most part, at least at pres-
ent, 3-D printing is used
to make prototypes, to do
custom work or for limited
production runs.
What kinds of materials
can the printers use?
Again, just about any-
thing. In Australia research-
ers are using 3-D printer
technology and living cell
tissue to try to print nerve
endings, muscle cells, and
cartilage with the hope that
someday they can be fused
onto human limbs.
3-Details
The 3D printer at Savanna Oaks makes a part of a wind turbine
designed by teacher Frank Devereaux. Below, shapes from
the 3D printer teach kindergarten students about relationships
between 2D and 3D shapes.
A group of
Badger Ridge
Middle School
students look
on as the
3D printer in
Ross Cohens
classroom
prints a new
Wildcat-
themed
nameplate for
Cohen. So far,
he has made
the nameplate,
owls, a chain-
link and other
small toys to
get familiar
with the new
printer and
the technol-
ogy it uses.
Students
in his class
will have
the option
to design
projects for
the printer
beginning this
semester.
