Town Hall repairs pushed back
emergency drill
Town of Verona
The Town of Verona

board once again pushed
off repairs to Town Hall at
its Aug. 5 meeting.
The repairs, which would
be in the $16,000 range,
said town administrator
Amanda Arnold, include a
leaking roof and siding that
is peeling off on the back of
the building. The roof was
recently patched, she said,
but not fully fixed.
Were just going to
decide how much money
we want to invest into this
building or not, Arnold
said.
Part of that decision
is knowing whether the
town will purchase land to
instead build a new town
hall, as putting money into
fixing the current building
right before putting another
large chunk into an entirely new building would be
City of Verona
Old library seeks

new tenants
JIM FEROLIE
Verona Press
The city is making plans

to get a new tenant for the
old library building.
With Sugar River United
Methodist Church preparing to expand into the current Wildcat Lanes facility
on West Verona Avenue,
the city soon will be without a renter for that building for the first time in
eight years.
When the new, $6.5 million library opened on
Silent Street in 2006, the
city had originally planned
to sell the 15,000-squarefoot building on Franklin
Street to help pay off the
debt. It was appraised then
at about $800,000.
But the Common Council didnt have a consensus
on whether to sell it immediately, and the timing was
perfect for SRUMC, which
was looking for a permanent home bigger than its
space at the MAC Sports
Center. At that point, the
church was a possible candidate to buy the building.
However, the church
grew quickly and began to
need more space. It earlier
this year slogged through a
difficult process of getting
an approval to move into a
building in the citys central commercial corridor
marked for redevelopment.
Sugar Rivers lease was
up to $55,000 per year,
but city administrator Bill
Burns reported Monday
that it plans to close on the
Wildcat Lanes property
(which is in receivership)
on Aug. 15.
The council didnt take
official action Monday, but
the consensus was that it
should move forward with

newspaper advertisements
and start making plans for
repairing the parking lot
and other small fixes. If the
building were to be sold,
it would need some larger
updates, such as roofing,
but it, too, is earmarked for
redevelopment on the citys
downtown plan, so alders
might be loathe to make
significant investments.
In the meantime, alders
discussed setting up oneyear lease terms. The building also will continue to
host the Verona Area Needs
Network food pantry while
VANN continues seeking a
new space.
Ordinance updates
The city updated two
ordinances Monday, neither of which will have an
impact on most residents.
It updated the local
flood plain map to conform with the newest state
Department of Natural
Resources map.
It made changes to the
preferred plantings for new
developments to remove
species the DNR calls invasive. The change does not
affect current developments
or those already approved.
Other updates
The city will hold second interviews for its senior
center program manager
position next week. It
received 38 applications
Public sector advising
firm Springsted has begun
meeting with department
heads as part its compensation survey analysis. The
intent is to have a recommendation for a plan and
options ready in time for
the regular budget process.
She and Town Chair

Dave Combs recently met
with city officials, but
Arnold said she was uncertain whether the city council would direct staff to
work on it or not. The Common Council discussed the
matter in closed session
Monday.
Blanket rezoning
The board also approved
the countys blanket rezoning plan after pushing the
decision back a month at its
July meeting.
The plan changes the
zoning of some properties around the county,
and affects who can take a
Farmland Agriculture tax
credit from the state.
The county has worked
on the rezoning for a few
years in response to a state
law change.
A few town residents
had expressed concerns,
which led the board to
delay approval to its August
meeting after it was first on
the July agenda.
Arnold said the towns
approved plan, which
includes a recommendation
to make the Town Hall in a
limited commercial district rather than a residential district, will now move
ahead to the countys zoning and land use committee.
Fitchburg
The board also approved
a draft of understanding
with the City of Fitchburg
as the two work together
on projects such as sanitary
sewers and road issues.
If it gets through the
Fitchburg council that
will be a great thing,
Arnold said. Weve never had that little formality with them, and I think it
would be a good to-do list
for the town and the city of
Fitchburg.
One of those projects
includes the Quarry Vista
development at the Hammersley Quarry site. Developers proposed lowering a
portion of Fitchrona Road
near the development site to
improve sight lines, and the
board approved that proposal at its meeting.

EA receives $150K DPI grant

Districts first charter high
school was one of 51
statewide charter schools
to receive a grant from
the state Department of
Instruction.
The $150,000 grant,
part of more than $8 million given to charter
schools around the state,
was awarded to the Exploration Academy as an
Implementation Renewal
Grant for charter schools
entering their second
year of operation. Nearly
$3.5 million was given to
schools in this category
alone.
Wisconsins charter
schools, and the dedicated educators that serve
these schools, are given
the latitude to explore
new instructional methods
and refine best practices,
state superintendent Tony
Evers said in a statement.
They are laboratories of
innovation.
Exploration Academy
had 60 students in its first
year last year, and will
grow to 80 in the upcoming school year. Former
EA director Mike Murphy,
who moved to become the
principal at Badger Ridge
Middle School this summer, previously had said
the ultimate goal was 100
students.
Last year, the school
received a $175,000 federal grant as part of the same
program.
That fell in the initial
implementation grant category, and helped to offset
training and preparation to
open the school.
New EA director Pheng
Lee did not return an email
and voicemail requesting
details on how the grant
would be used.
EA is one of four charter
schools in the district, but
the only one that serves
students in grades 9-12.
A news release from the

City of Fitchburg said it
would be greatly appreciated if motorists avoid
Lacy Road between South
Seminole Highway and
Osmundsen Road between
8 and 10 a.m.
The Stoner Prairie Elementary School campus
will also be involved in the
exercise and, along with
the SOMS area, will be offlimits.
We respect the publics
interest in learning more
about how our departments
are working together in
order to ensure the safety
of the community, but the
safety of the exercise participants and all community residents is of the utmost
importance, the news
release said.

counterintuitive.
Its something that the
Town Boards wrestled
with for quite awhile,
Arnold said. At this point
we havent moved forward
with the site.
The Aug. 5 meeting
included a closed session
to discuss a potential land
purchase, but no action was
taken.
Beyond the issues with
the current building itself,
Arnold said the board
would like to have a Town
Hall that is farther out
into the town, instead of
surrounded by the City of
Verona, as the structure is
now.
We dont have a lot of
space here, she said. Our
plows are on city roads for
quite a bit of time.
The board held a related
discussion about working
with the city to create an
understanding of the city
and towns growth plans.
We would like to have a
formal boundary agreement
that outlines where the city
is going to grow and where
the town can grow, Arnold
said.

tale I read about in our old Verona
Press issues while researching
Verona Press
background during the planning of
Oregon Observer Stoughton Courier Hub
Corrections
Verona City Center in 2007.

In 1978, Verona citizens went to
a council meeting to express their
disapproval of the excesses in the
new City Hall. Alders reluctantly
agreed to downsize the finished
$600,000 plan to be more in tune
with current needs, and the result
was a far less functional building
that opened two years later for nearly $200,000 more than originally
budgeted.
The fault then, of course, was not
allowing the public to be involved
earlier. This time, much of the haggling over cost reduction has been
during out-of-the-way ad hoc building committee meetings but the
overall project has been very public.
Studies as far back as 2011 have
recommended a 40,000-square-foot
station combining fire and EMS.
Even the 2006 estimate for the
station without EMS closer to
30,000 square feet carried a $7
million pricetag.
Weve known this was going to
be expensive for a long time.
And as anyone familiar with
large municipal projects knows, the
only sure-fire way to control the
cost of a building is to limit its size.
There are lots of factors that drive
the cost over $200 per square foot,
as will be the case here, but many
of them (such as site limitations and
the bidding environment) are not
controllable.
So the ad hoc committee faced
two large tasks.
The first was to tour several other
facilities and interview staff there
about the lessons learned, as a similar committee had done with the
construction of the $7 million City
Center police and administration
building.
For example, in a budget crunch,
Delafield almost cut its now heavily used fitness room. Bad move
averted. Instead, while trimming $1
million out of its budget, it would
later discover it had cut the size
too much and was short of storage
space. Oops.
The committees second major
task was trying to keep the size
down while planning for two or
three decades.
Planners were seemingly generous in some aspects allotting 19
dorm rooms, for example, with
the idea that theyll keep operating costs down by providing a
first-class facility that will attract
inexpensive volunteers and interns
and clearly thrifty in others. They
struggled with whether to include
an extra apparatus bay for future

needs and how much storage space
to provide.
The committee noted that several area stations ran out of storage
room in less than six years, and it
added a basement. It whittled down
the space and cost in other places
by moving a generator outside,
cutting the size of bathrooms and
offices, reconfiguring the layout and
adjusting the use of materials and
mechanical components.
What went to the council, just
like its predecessor in City Center,
was a well-appointed, state-of-theart building that had already been
trimmed of fat. And the group that
forwarded it was cost-conscious,
experienced in planning a large
building and familiar with public
safety issues and construction.
So when alders groaned at
higher-than-expected bids for the
already approved, publicly vetted
plan and started looking for more
ways to cut, it was approaching the
dangerous territory of far-diminished returns.
Saving $150,000 on the superfast
rear bi-fold doors would be like
buying a $40,000 heavy duty work
truck with a turbodiesel engine and
skipping the $300 bedliner. Yes,
you can do it, but why?
The fire pole would have been
easier to pick off but even more
pointless like skipping the $100
set of rubber floor mats. You can
question how much help it provides,
but for how much savings? If even
a small fraction of the staff slides
down the pole regularly and shaves
30 seconds off their response time,
the $40,000 saved is peanuts over
the course of 20-plus years.
Typical voters might be flabbergasted over the cost of municipal
buildings, but thats a constant and
has no basis in reality.
I know it hurts when you think
you have made all the right choices
and kept a project under a nice
round number like $10 million and
that plan gets squashed by the harsh
reality of bids for concrete, drywall,
electrical and climate control bids.
But thats not a good excuse to create something that functions poorly
and was almost as expensive, anyway.
Better to do it right in the first
place.

Library from Aug. 19-23.
The events, which
include a variety of presentations, arts and crafts and
kids activities, are part of
the month-long traveling

Getting Out of Gods Way

The late writer Flannery OConnor kept a devotional
journal when she was in her twenties and a student at the
Iowa Writers Workshop. It has recently been published
under the title A Prayer Journal. OConnor was a fervent
Catholic and her journal is filled with interesting reflections on spirituality, as well as writing, which she saw as
a way to express her spirituality and hopefully lead others
to God. She laments early on that I do not know you
God because I am in the way. Please help me to push
myself aside. Throughout the journal we witness an
earnest young woman struggling heroically to be more
pious, and striving to get out of Gods way, i.e., how to
get rid of the ego and let God fill up the space. Her simultaneous struggle to destroy the ego while seeking literary
fame is sometimes the focus of her reflections, as when
she says Dont let me ever think, dear God, that I was
anything but the instrument for Your story, just like the
typewriter was mine. God desires to work through all of
us, through our words and our deeds, if we can only get
our egos out of His way.
- Christopher Simon via Metro News Service
For we are Gods handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to
do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to
do.

County redistricting meeting Aug. 14

Maps were changed
in 2011
The Dane County Board
of Supervisors will hear
from two election experts at
a hearing during the Executive Committee this Thursday, Aug. 14, at 5 p.m., and
citizens are encouraged to
attend and weigh in.
Following the testimony
of the two experts, County
Supervisors will have the
opportunity to ask questions, and a public testimony period will allow citizens to voice their opinions
on the topic.
People need to have
confidence that their vote
counts just as much as
the vote cast by someone
across the street or across
the county, said County
Board Chair Sharon Corrigan in a news release.
The way we draw our voting maps has to be open,
fair and transparent, and
If you go
What: County redistricting discussion
When: 5 p.m. Thursday,
Aug. 14
Where: City-County
Building, 201 Martin Luther
King Blvd., Madison
we need to think carefully
about the process by which
we do that. We need to hear
what these experts have to
say, ask them tough questions, and then heed their
advice.
The hearing will feature
Andrea Kaminski from the
League of Women Voters
and Linda Honold, a Ph.D.
researcher and consultant
working with a consortium of state and national
funders, including the Milwaukee-based Brico Fund,
to prepare a study of redistricting reform efforts across
the country. The County

Board will hear a description of how maps have been
drawn in the past, rationale
for considering a different
system of drawing the maps,
and how the drawing of voting maps is changing around
the country.
Our current voting maps
were drawn in 2011, and are
due to be updated in 2021,
said Supervisor Jenni Dye,
who sponsored a resolution to move redistricting
reform forward. Right now
is the time to think clearly
and rationally, without an
imminent election or partisan positioning, about the
process by which we draw
our voting maps. Im grateful for the opportunity to
hear from these experts as
well as from members of
the community.
The hearing will be held
in room 354 of the City
County Building, 201 Martin Luther King Boulevard
in Madison.

Meet a
police dog
Dane County Deputy Sheriff
Keith Kelly visited the Verona
Senior Center with K-9 dog
Rico for a Chat and Chew
event on Friday, Aug. 8.
Kelly explained his role with
the department and demonstrated how quickly Rico
could pick up the scent of
marijuana. Rico is an 8-yearold Belgian Malinois, a breed
that is typically high-strung,
hardy and athletic.
Kelly has been handling dogs
for 15 years. He trained Rico
to sit and stare at narcotics when found rather than
to scratch, and to bite and
hold onto a person rather
than induce multiple bite
marks so there is less tissue
damage.
Although Kelly admitted it
sounds insensitive, Rico as
a K-9 dog is just considered
property or a tool for the
police department, though he
has become more than that
to Kellys family. He said his
6- and 9-year-old daughters
dress the dog in fairy wings
and tutus, which shows how
well-trained Rico is as well.
Your dream is out there.

Go get it. Well protect it.

Ricos job is to track odors,

find narcotics and be aggressive if asked to, in other
words, bite. His presence
alone is often enough, said
Kelly, who has witnessed
criminals quickly back down
at the sound of Ricos bark
or just hearing that they
have the K-9 unit with them.
He has protected officers in
many situations. His payday
is a tennis ball.

Junior catcher Ben Rortvedt runs toward the Verona dugout and snags a popup earlier this season. Rortvedt, who plays summer baseball for the Hitters Baseball Academy
in Racine, verbally committed to the University of Arkansas two weeks ago to catch for them in two years.

Rortvedt verbally commits

ANTHONY IOZZO
Assistant sports editor
Verona Area High School junior

Ben Rortvedt had a few days off
after a baseball tournament in Joplin, Mo., a few weeks ago and
decided to go visit some colleges.
After canceling a visit with Oklahoma State after he heard a player
from his class was already offered a
spot, Rortvedt decided to go to the
University of Arkansas instead.
And that decision turned out to
be the right one as Arkansas later
offered Rortvedt a spot on the team
as a catcher, an offer Rortvedt verbally committed too.
I think Bens baseball skills are
tremendous, but I think he works
really hard too. And the combination of that is something college
coaches really like. VAHS head
baseball coach Brad DOrazio said.
The fact that he has good grades
and is so coachable I mean I
have been getting calls all summer
from big time schools it is not a
surprise at all that all these schools
are interested in him for those reasons.
And for Rortvedt, everything

happened so fast. Even though he

has been a varsity starter for two
years already and plays for a Hitters Baseball Academy (Racine)
team in the summer, he said that
this was not something he expected
so soon.
But now that it is out of the way,
Rortvedt said he can now just focus
on playing baseball.
It helps a lot because it kind of
stressed me out before, he said. I
have to play well and be on top of
my game every single day, every
single game. This takes some of
the weight off of my shoulders,
and now I can just go out there and
have some fun.
DOrazio said Rortvedt did a nice
job not letting the pressure get to
him before, but he thinks this decision now allows him to just do his
thing without worrying about life
after high school.
The boys soccer squad

also gets its season underway with a match against
McFarland at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 19, at Reddan
Park.
The Wildcats will have a
new look this season with
10 seniors graduating,
including goalie Connor
Rortvedt, defenders Pat
and Joe Stevens and Sam
Douglass, forwards Garrett
Grunke, Harry Seid and
Santi Azcarate.

Although Rortvedt has one

he still has a major goal for

With my height, being

I think that his work ethic
made it natural for the guys to

For a kid to work that hard
and see the success that he
has, I think that makes everyone want to work harder and

Rortvedt batted .338 with a
home run and 13 RBIs in his
sophomore year. He walked
21 times and posted a .489
on-base percentage.
He also had a .983 fielding

Retiring: VAHS secretary graduated from school in 1975, returned nine years later
Continued from page 1
You dont really

feel like youre out
of high school when
you come back to
your high school and
take on a new role.
Ive seen a few changes, she joked. When

youre kind of in the middle
of it and you kind of grow
with it, its maybe not as
obvious.
Unexpected
homecoming
-Diana Trowbridge,
retiring VAHS secretary
In 1984, after nine years

living in Washington,
Trowbridge decided she
wanted to be around her
own family, what she called
her support system, so
she, her husband and their
children moved across the
country.
But returning to her alma
mater wasnt something she
saw coming.
The job just happened
to be posted, Trowbridge
said. It really is a lot of
times just timing.
She began at the school
in August of that year, and
when the school year came
to a close the following
June, Trowbridge got to see
her youngest sister cross the
stage to graduate.
But that was not the
weirdest part of her new job
at her old school.
There were teachers still
working here when I came
back to work that I had.
There arent any anymore,
but there were a lot when
I started, she said with a
laugh. Just getting comfortable with calling Mr.
Burrows Jay, instead of
Mr. Burrows.
But that weirdness
Basthemer, who worked

at VAHS for 29 years herself, 10 with Trowbridge,
was hoping to come up to
the school to take a photo
of Trowbridge in her last
week. Thats just one of
the friendships that Trowbridge said shes made in
her time at the school, and
she knows shell miss seeing those people every day.
Theres always people
coming and going, she
said. It hurts when they
leave, but life goes on and
somebody else comes in.
Ive made so many friends
through the years and keep
in touch with a lot of retired
people that I had relationships with when they were
here.
But just as much, shell
miss the job itself.
Im going to miss the
people, she said. But having a job and a job to go to
and a job that you feel you
are accomplished at and
that you do a good job, that
gives you a sense of selfworth.
She made her retirement
decision in early May after
a lot of soul-searching
kind of stuff, and knows
its the right decision, even
if it will be hard to shut it
all off.
The woman who helped
create the Night of Hope
cancer fundraiser, coached
cheerleading for years on
and off in the 1990s and
chaperoned Yearbook trips
to New York and Chicago
is not sure what shell do
in retirement yet, but shes
happy to have found a place
she was happy to work for
as long as she was.
Its amazing, she said.
I never thought I would
have a job for 30 years.
a face, it just kind of stuck.

The school kept growing and kept hiring more
secretaries. They became
more specialized as that
happened, Trowbridge said,
and she settled into a role
focused on grade records,
transcripts, transfers and
DPI reports.
Her longevity left her
with another responsibility,
one that wasnt in her job

2014 Board Meeting with the correction

Consider action on proposed revisions to Board Policy 662.3, General
Fund Balance The revisions to this
policy include a new provision to set
aside a reserve of at least 10% of the
premium for our dental insurance. Since
we are self-insured for dental, we have

come back with a number of items for
approval to the administrative team. DPI
has rolled out some required training
that everyone will need to participate
in. Step 1 happened earlier in the year,
which was a presentation orienting them
to the Educator Effectiveness plan; we
are currently offering step 2 training (all
staff must have completed by the start
of the school year) currently 80 staff
have completed. Step 3 will be for all individuals who will be doing evaluations
next year. They must participate in this
face to face meeting. All administrators
are signed up for one of the summer
dates, will have to get all new administrators signed up as well. Step 4 module
one will take place before school starts,
instruction on how to operate Teachscape. All training sessions have been
set up so the district has a plan moving

forward into next year.
All administrators have gone
through or just about completed their
Teachscape certification; will need to
have all new administrators complete
before the start of school. All of ours
staff now have their Teachscape licenses; DPI reimbursed the district $80 per
license for the cost of the licenses. This
process will have to take place again
in the Fall. DPI is creating something
called WISE Dash Secure just for teachers where the scores will be scored.

community in such a short time. Members of the class of 1950 as well as
members of the Jones family attended
the ceremony.
The memorial plaque is located on
the side of the concession stand on the

BOARD BUSINESS
Consider approval of minutes
Motion (Zook) second (Gauthier) to approve the minutes from the May 5, 2014.
Report on upcoming trip to France
Jenny Wolfe and Emily Phillippi attended to discuss with the Board the trip
to France next spring. Shari Thompson
(French teacher at VAHS), Emily Phillipi
and her husband will be the chaperones
for this trip that will take place over
Spring Break. The trip to France occurs
every two years and is similar to trips
in previous years. Students will stay 5
days with a French family and will spend
3 days in Paris with chaperones.
Students must apply to attend the
trip and must have strong teacher recommendations, good French language
skills and must be reliable. There are
currently about 35 interested students;
however the goal is to narrow it down
to 20-25 students. The estimated cost
of the trip is between $3,000 and $3,500
(dependent upon which airport the
group travels from). Students have the
opportunity to raise money for their
trip through fundraisers such as Bucky
Books; many students also choose to
work to pay the cost. More details will be
presented to the Board as the trip details
become finalized.
Update on Summer School Pam
Hammen and Beth Mason attended
to give an update on summer school.
Pam provided an update for each level
(elementary, middle school and high
school). At the elementary level have
430 students enrolled (plus 95 on the
wait list). There were 20 classes offered
(all of them will run) with 15 classes full
to capacity. The Middle School Level has
67 students enrolled with 7 classes being offered with 5 of them running. There
are an additional 146 middle school
students enrolled in the Middle School
Remedial class. At the high school level
there are 87 students enrolled with 13
courses offered (all but 2 may not run
because of enrollment). This year the
high school is offering 5 new courses
including American Sign Language, An
Advanced Placement (AP) course (open
to all students enrolled in an AP course
in the 2014-15 school year) and Black
History Awareness.
Suggestions were made to survey students and staff on participation for summer school as there are
fewer teachers on the elementary level
that sign up to teach and fewer middle
school students who sign up to participate. The Board would like to know if a
DPI teachers license is required to run
a course during the summer such as a
foreign language course. Pam will follow
up with Board with survey results and
Dean will follow up in regards to the DPI
teachers license.
Report on Nurtured Heart Report
on Nurtured Heart will be given at a future Board meeting.
Consider action on proposed
66:0301 agreement with Madison Metropolitan School District on use of Pre-K
sites outside district boundaries Donna Behn attended to update the Board
on proposed changes to the 66:0301
agreement with Madison Metropolitan
School District. There were only two
changes to the contract this year, the
addition of Little Pilgrims Preschool and
Head Start consolidating from two sites
to one site only located on Red Arrow
Trail in Fitchburg. Motion (Gauthier) second (Behnke) to approve the proposed
changes to the 66:0301 agreement with
Madison Metropolitan School District
on use of Pre-K sites outside of district
boundaries. Motion carried (6-0).
Report of grading for learning
committee Donna Behn updated the
Board on the newly formed grading for
learning committee. There are approximately 40 members on this committee,
which includes parents, administrators
and staff. Grading and reporting are
not matching what is being done in the
classroom so the committee is working
on a grading system that goes away
from numbers and letters and is geared
more towards standards based grading.
The committee has only met twice this
year but will continue to meet next year.
Donna also shared with the Board
the purpose as established by the committee The purpose of the standards
based student progress report is to
communicate to students, families and
educators about the attainment of specific learning goals. This information
identifies students level of progress
with regard to those goals, recognizes
areas of strength, inspires future success and identifies areas for growth.
SUPERINTENDENTS REPORT
Update on Future Schools Committee Dean briefly updated the Board on
the first meeting of the Future Schools
Committee, which took place on May
15th at 6:00 p.m. The first meeting was
a data rich meeting
The committee is looking at meeting again in July; however there is discussion that there is a desire to meet
sooner and more frequently.
Update on School Calendar Committee The first meeting of the School
Calendar Meeting is scheduled for next
Wednesday, May 28th at 6:00 p.m. Dean
will be putting together a draft agenda to
share with Joanne and Amy in the next
few days. Dean is planning that the committee will have some recommendations
to the Board in November for the 201516 school year.
