While the weather wasnt necessarily ideal for the Verona Area High
School Homecoming parade on Friday, Sept. 30, the rain mostly stayed
away, even as some foreboding clouds
hung near the city.
That hardly stopped a crowd of
Verona residents and even some outof-towners from lining up on Main
Street to cheer on Verona area students and educators representing
several dozen sports teams, clubs, student organizations and classes.

After the parade, kids with bags
of candy in tow and their families
stopped by the school to hang out at
the tailgate until the football game
began at 7p.m. The team claimed
a 35-12 victory over Madison East
High School.

Its the first year of a new
pilot partnership between
the Madison-based college and Sugar Creek, in
which teachers learn from

an Edgewood professor and
do student teaching work in
the same building.
Its one of a pair of partnerships between the Verona Area School District and
Edgewood, with the other
being the Equity Academy (formerly Grow Your

minority Verona Area High
School graduates to attend

Parisi budget touts investment Board will work on trust

Focusing on unprecedented investments for the
most vulnerable citizens
and shoring up critical
infrastructure, Dane County Executive Joe Parisis
proposed 2017 budget is
now on the table for county
board members to amend.
The budget, issued Sept.
26 and titled, An Investm e n t f o r o u r F u t u r e ,
totals $585 million;
about $500,000 under the
state-imposed levy cap.
The county will hold a
public hearings Oct. 19 and
typically votes on the budget in November.
In the news release, Parisi focused on several topics
addressed in the proposed
bu d g e t : m e n t a l h e a l t h ,
gangs and gun violence,
opiates, homelessness and
infrastructure.
My 2017 budget makes
unprecedented investments
in compassionate services
for our most vulnerable,
infrastructure critical to
continued economic vitality and safety, along with a
quality of life that creates
an environment where new
families and businesses
flourish, he said. Good
wages, educational achievement, reducing economic and racial disparities,
improved mental health,
cleaner waters and conservation, safer roads for both
cars and bikes, and housing
for those who have fallen
on hard times.

Specific proposals
Parisi is asking to add
$153,000 to partner with
more school districts outside
of Madison to expand upon
the Dane County Mental
Health Crisis Teams established in 2013. He listed
Verona as one of the school
districts that have benefited from the program in the
past.
To help combat the effects
of mental illness, Parisi is
proposing adding $100,000
to the Community Crisis
Response program budget.
The effects of mental illness are far reaching, affecting classrooms, families,
and workplaces, he said.
Dane County is stepping
up and increasing our commitment to get help to those
in need and address mental
health challenges.
Citing increasing incidents of gun violence, Parisi is proposing an additional
team leader to the countys
gang response intervention
unit, so each high school in
the Madison School District
has one.
In the past six weeks,
Parisi said there were 60
overdose calls across Dane
County, calling heroin and
opiate abuse a public health

and public safety crisis of
critical proportion. His proposed budget would double
the District Attorneys Opiates Deferred Prosecution
Program, which Parisi said
would allow the county
to get twice as many people facing opiate-related
charges into treatment and
rehabilitation.
Getting people to choose
and stay on that path is the
greatest challenge, he said.
Another $50,000 would
go for the Eviction Prevention Fund, a program
he said is on track to help
keep more than 200 families in their home this year.
He is also proposing adding $90,000 in funding
to the countys Housing
Hotline by adding two new
staff members, and another
$80,000 for two new staff
members to identify housing.
Homelessness is a complex problem that no one
entity can solve alone, Parisi said.
The proposed budget adds
around 25 miles of on-road,
newly paved bike lanes and
five new positions in the
highway department. The
news release said Parisi is
adding to the budget this
year to expedite road projects in areas long overdue
for resurfacing and repair,
though no specific projects
were listed. These projects
have been engineered to
include paved bike lanes
and transparency plan
Slight tax
increase
Roberts offered
ideas at recent
committee meeting
The budget proposed by

Dane County Executive
Joe Parisi would increase
taxes on the average
Madison home (valued
at $254,593) by $19.61
or 2.5 percent. County
taxes represent about 15
percent of a persons total
property tax bill.
Scott Girard
wherever possible, and Parisi noted the proposed budget

includes more than $2 million for three major new offtrail projects.
This budget is my largest
investment yet into reconstructing our aging county
highways and investing in
bike paths, he said. Our
bike paths are a reason
people love living in Dane
County and are an important part of our transportation
and recreation infrastructure. We need to do all we
can to make biking as safe
as possible for bikes and
motorists.
Whats next
A public hearing on the
proposed budget will be
held at 7p.m. Wednesday,
Oct. 19 in room 201 of
the City/County Building.
County budget deliberations
are scheduled to begin Monday, Nov. 14, with the board
meeting to vote on the budget set for 7p.m. Thursday,
Nov. 17. The board can also
meet on Monday, Nov. 28 if
necessary, to consider possible budget vetoes.
Scott De Laruelle
The Verona Area School

board is expected to discuss
elements of a recent plan to
improve trust and transparency with the community
in the near future.
Board president Dennis
Beres told board members
at their Sept. 26 meeting he
was trying to find an appropriate setting to work on the
initiatives, which had been
introduced by board member Noah Roberts at a Personnel committee meeting
the week prior, though the
item was not on the agenda.
Beres said the discussion
could go through a number of different avenues,
including a board retreat, a
committee or general discussion at a regular meeting.
Board member Meredith Stier-Christensen, who
expressed support for setting board goals during the
discussion at the Personnel
INJURED?
committee meeting as Roberts suggested, said it should

be on an agenda.
Everybody comes with
goals they would like to see
done, Stier-Christensen
said. There needs to be a
whole board prioritization.
Roberts is expected to
meet with Beres, board
member Renee Zook and
superintendent Dean Gorrell to talk about a timeline, which Beres indicated
would call for working on
the initiatives by April.
Roberts proposal includes
rotating board meeting locations, responding to audience
comments at meetings, an
annual board self-evaluation
and a task force on school
climate and trust.

Letters to the editor
Potential spring referendum should

have positive impact on all kids
We wanted to address the misconceptions Matt Kleber recently
had in his Sept. 15 letter to the
editor (Get informed on future
schools options) about our parent group regarding the upcoming referendum proposals.
First, and most importantly,
our sole goal is not to get an
elementary school on the Herfel
site. Our goal is to ensure that the
results of this referendum have a
positive impact on all kids, which
does include finding an alternative to the 800-plus capacity
elementary school that is planned
for the current BRMS building.
But the alternative was not
simply limited to building an elementary school on the Herfel site.
We were open to other options
that would result in a smaller-sized elementary school, but
after the district researched other
options, no options seemed to be
worth pursuing due to space and
financial constraints. A school
of 800-plus students comes with
a host of challenges, which is
evident in the fact that there isnt
another K-5 elementary school
of this size in the state, let alone
in a city of approximately 11,000
people.
The impact that a school of
this size will have on student
achievement is complicated. One
thing to consider, though, is that
research finds that low-income
and minority students are most
negatively impacted by large
schools, and Sugar Creek, one
of the schools that will end up in
this reconfigured, large elementary school, has the highest rate
of free and reduced lunch and
English Language Learners in the
district. We do not want the community to overlook the needs of a

population of students for whom
a smaller environment would
lead to a brighter future. Additionally, the smaller size, which
all of the other VASD elementary
schools have, is also shown to
have a positive impact on all students. We are simply advocating
for all elementary schools to be
similar in size in order to support
all students to be successful.
We know that all of the options
being considered come at a
tremendous cost. In our minds,
building both an elementary
school and a high school in the
next few years sounds like the
most equitable option to support
all students, but it also has the
largest price tag. We can build it
now for less and guarantee that
we have space for our kids as
the community rapidly grows,
or we can roll the dice and hope
that another referendum will pass
when we again run out of space
in a few years.
As you can see, our motives
are pure. All students, not just our
students, have been at the center
for us the entire time. We dont
know whose students will end up
in this school, but we hope that
voters will take these thoughts
into consideration and make the
most informed decision possible.

It can mean a lot

to be a good Friend
iterature is filled with

famous friendships. Real
ones like Hemingway
and Fitzgerald, J.R.R. Tolkien
and C.S. Lewis, Truman Capote
and Harper Lee and imaginary
ones like Horatio and Hamlet,
Frodo and Sam, Harry and Ron,
Holmes and Watson, Christopher
Robin and
Pooh.
And like
these famous
duos, we all
benefit from
the support
of some good
friends, or in
the case of
Burkart
libraries, some
good Friends.
In Facebook, a friend is someone you are interested enough in
to hear periodic or daily updates
on their lives. In real life, a
friend is someone who would
pick you up from the airport, a
person you can call at the end
of a tough day, or someone you
share good news with.
In the world of public parks,
libraries, schools, museums, a
friend means something a little
different. Some fortunate public
organizations have friends with a
capital F.
A Friends group is a nonprofit
organization whose sole purpose
is helping an institution succeeds. It doesnt have a hand in
day-to-day operations but takes a
supportive role.
The Verona Public Library is

lucky to have a dedicated group
of Friends that has supported and
advocated for the work we do for
more than three decades.
The Friends of the Verona
Public Library started 36 years
ago, in 1980. Amazingly, several
of the founding members have
been on the board for all of those
years.
The group originally formed
in response to city cuts to the
library budget. At that time, the
library director was faced with
the prospect of reducing library
hours or cutting the book budget.
The small, but dedicated group
of library supporters raised funds
to restore the book budget and
preserve the library hours. They
have not stopped their efforts to
support the library and literacy
in Verona ever since.
Friends groups usually do a
little fundraising, have a small
membership fee, help promote
the institution they support and
help support specific projects.
Here at the library the Friends
have done everything from raise
over $50,000 to purchase furniture for the 1986 addition to the
library when it was located on
Franklin and Harriet streets to
buying gunpowder for the cannons that rocked Badger Prairie
Park in 2007 when the library
hosted a Civil War battle re-enactment and traveling exhibit.
Over the years, theyve paid
for fantastic authors like Patricia
McConnell, Michael Perry, Larry

Watson and Jacquelyn Mitchard
to speak at the library. This year,
on Oct. 18, they are bringing in
local author and journalist Doug
Moe.
The Friends of the Verona
Public Library are also tireless
supporters of children and early
literacy, financing weekly performers, grand prizes, promotional materials and all the glitter
and glue that holds the Summer
Reading Program together every
year. The results of their support
and the librarys efforts are that
over 2,000 children and teens in
the Verona area dont put down
their books when school gets out
for the summer but keep reading
and learning, becoming better
students and more educated people.
Just like Frodo needs Sams
help to carry the ring and Sherlock needs Watson to solve the
mystery, a good friend or group
of Friends to help us smooth the
path for us.
So sometimes, when I visit a beautiful park or a lovely
museum or library, Ill pay the
small membership fee to join
their Friends group just to say
Im glad this place exists in the
world, I want others to enjoy it,
and I hope you keep doing the
good work you are doing.
Stacey Burkart is the director
of the Verona Public Library.

Attendees are encouraged
to wear fancy attire and take
part in a ballroom dancing
lesson. They can also make
a snack at a colorful pancake station, make seasonal
crafts and take a photo with
the prince and princess of
autumn. There will also be a
silent auction featuring items
like a three-course dinner for
four at Lilianas, a Rockin
Jump family pass and certificates for an in-home storytime with a childrens librarian.
Tickets to the ball are $25
per person or four for $80,
with all proceeds benefiting
the Verona Public Library
Endowment Fund. After
beginning its Be Part of the
Story campaign last fall, the
library is about halfway to its
goal of raising $100,000 by
May 2017 in order to receive
a $50,000 grant from the

Verona area girl wins Rising

Stars youth music award
Ananya Krishna, 12,
won the youth music award
at the Rising Stars talent
search, held Sept. 24 at
the Overture Center for the
Arts. She was among four
Verona area
kids who
were finalists in the
competition.
Krishna sang a
soprano rendition of O Krishna
mio babbino
caro (Oh
My Beloved Father), from
the opera Gianni Schicchi by Giacomo Puccini, on the Capitol Theater
stage in the youth music
category. She received an
official Rising Stars plaque,
$250 and an upgraded Broadjam membership.
All of the judges were
impressed with Ananyas

authentic love for and
performance of opera, a
unique interest for a young
person, said judge DJ Pain
One. I was taken aback by
her strong and emotional
vocal performance, from
her first audition to her
final award-winning performance.
Judge Corey Mathew
Hart, past Rising Stars
grand prize winner, said
in a news release he was
especially impressed
with some of the younger
performers like Krishna, who are performing
at a level far beyond their
years.
Her parents, Dr. Jaya and
Sarath Krishna, said in an
email to the Press that they
realized her singing potential early. They recalled
a time there was a crying
baby on a fully-booked
flight, and then 3-year-old
Krishna calmed both the
mother and the baby down
by singing a lullaby.
Krishna has been taking
voice lessons for the last
two years, with interests in
classical music, opera and
rock from the 60s through
80s. She also plays the
piano and viola, is a member of the Wisconsin Youth
Symphony Orchestra and
performs with the Madison
Youth Choir.
Ananyas success was
the direct result of the
great partnership between
the pupil and her awesome
teacher, Mrs. Leslie Esser-Reitano of HeartLine
Theatricals, Sarath Krishna wrote in an email to the
Press.
Krishna is a seventh-grader at Eagle
School. Some of her hobbies other than music

include Spanish, tennis,
swimming and writing.
Last year she took part in
the National History Day
Competition and was a
state finalist. She wrote a
paper about Irena Sendler,
a savior of Holocaust children and penned a winning
short story for the Yahara
River Anthology Project.
We are so impressed
with the talent in our community, Tim Sauers, Overtures vice president of
programming and community engagement, said in a
news release. Overtures
Rising Stars has offered
professional performance
opportunities and training
for aspiring and emerging
artists.

Brunner initially got into the hobby by building kids pedal tractors
and a few implements with his sons
for the first Verona farm toy show
nearly 30 years ago. After the show,
Brunner told VAHS president Jesse
Charles that while his boys moved
on from the hobby, he went hog
wild.
His 200 pieces represent brands
like Allis Chalmers, Gehl Brothers
(of West Bend), Oliver, Massey-Harris, Case, John Deere and even Ellis
of Verona where he has worked in
design for the last 17 years.
Charles said several of the models shown were familiar to members of the historical society, who
reminisced about using the real live
versions back in their youth on their
familys farms.

Walkers budget delays project completion

Scott Girard
Area drivers may have to

wait an extra two years to
get away from the orange
cones on Verona Road, as
Gov. Scott Walkers proposed biennial budget calls
for a delay to completing
the major reconstruction.
Tr a n s p o r t a t i o n f u n ding became a major issue
among Republicans in the
2015-17 biennial budget,
and has been talked and
written about leading up to
the most recent proposal.
The DOTs budget proposal summary, released
Sept. 15, would bring no
fee or fuel tax increase for
transportation projects but

would halt the Verona Road
reconstruction and delay
completion until 2021. The
proposal calls for $24 million in funding for the project in the 2017-19 budget.
A DOT spokesperson
told the Wisconsin State
Journal the change would
likely delay a proposed
new interchange from
Verona Road to McKee
Road, a major artery traveling from Madison to
Verona.
Construction on the
project recently moved to
Fitchburg, with Williamsburg Way, Anton Drive
and Nesbitt Road being
worked on. There are also
nightly single-lane closures

The debate on the budget
on Verona Road near the will begin early next year.

The Power of Posture

The Harvard social psychologist Amy Cuddy has
done a variety of interesting studies on the power
of posture. Her research demonstrates that standing tall and engaging in various power poses can
actually improve our performance. It wont endow
you with knowledge you dont already have or allow
you to have superhuman strengths, but standing
like a superhero will allow you to make the most of
your inherent abilities and knowledge. One of the
interesting things to come out of her research is
the finding that you can do these power poses in
private for relatively short periods of time (as little as
one or two minutes) and see improvements in your
performance. The standard power pose is simply
standing tall, putting your hands on your hips (arms
akimbo), pulling your shoulders back (to thrust out
your chest), and holding your head up. Pretty easy
to do, and we are also warned that powerless poses, such as being hunched over and dropping your
head can lead to poorer performances. Lets face it,
when we look and feel confident, we are more likely
to perform well, and God wants us to do and be well.
So stand up tall and hold your head high.

with a bittersweet ending.
The Verona Area High School

strokes of making it to state as a
team, falling two strokes shy (369371) to the second team qualifier

all the players in the field were elevated. Besides Middletons Alexis

While the girls were second

opportunities after the meet, head
coach Jon Rebholz wanted to
stress what the team did well
giving the program a chance to
make its fourth straight state meet
I asked them to think about
what they did do, and what they
did do is put us in position to

We were beaten out by a couple
of strokes, but we were in the mix.
That is all we asked of them, and I

Verona wins 17th straight Homecoming game, moves to 7-0

Anthony Iozzo
It has been a long time since

the Verona Area High School
football team suffered a loss on
Homecoming.
With Fridays 35-12 win over
Madison East in the home regular season finale, the Wildcats
have now won 17 straight Homecoming games, with the last loss
coming in 1999.
I think our fast start and our
emotion we were a little more
passionate tonight helped us
be dominant, head coach Dave
Richardson said. We worked
some kinks out on a few plays,
but we rotated a lot of kids on
defense even in the first half. I
think we played almost every kid
in the first half alone.
Senior running back Drew
King was a big reason why the
streak stayed alive. King rushed
for 146 yards and three touchdowns on eight carries, and he
also added a 45-yard punt return
for a touchdown at the end of the
first half.
The offense just got it done

with great blocking, King said.
Defense got it done. Overall, it
was a great team effort.
All of Veronas points came in
the first half. King started it off
with a 46-yard touchdown run
less than five minutes into the
game.
The defense forced a punt
on the next drive, and senior
quarterback Max Fink connected with senior split end Tyler
McClure for a 12-yard touchdown pass with 2 minutes, 42
seconds left in the first quarter.
After a 3-and-out, King rushed
33 yards to the East 1-yard line
and then punched in his second
score with 54 seconds to go in
the first.
As soon as I stepped on the
field, I knew my teammates had
my back. I have always trusted
them throughout the years I have
been on the team, King said.
Without the blocking, we are
not anything. I put it on them. It
was them.
Senior defensive back Brandon Daniels picked up an
interception on the next East

drive, and although penalties
kept pushing Verona back, King
just needed to get the ball as he
once again scored on a 46-yard
run on a second-and-24.
But before the offense was
done, Verona called a timeout
with 11 seconds left in the first
half to force a punt. King followed his blockers 45 yards on
the return to score once again.
I like where Drew King is
right now, Richardson said.
He is healthy. He looks good
and looks fresh. Our whole first
group was pretty much off the
field in the second half, so we
should be fresh and ready to go.
The second half was much
sloppier with a steady rain falling and the second and third
stringers in the game. At one
point, there were five straight
turnovers as both teams kept giving the ball back to the other.
The Purgolders finally scored
when backup freshman quarterback Phil Roh found junior wide
receiver Keshawn Justice for a
3-yard touchdown, but the point

It wont be easy, as Sun Prairie
whose only loss came in a four-overtime game against Middleton is another team built with a strong defense. The
Cardinals are coming off a 36-0 drubbing of Madison West.
Head coach Dave Richardson said
that barring turnovers, this match up
should be another defensive, low-scoring game like Veronas 10-7 win at
Middleton.
If we can create the turnovers and
capitalize on them, it would be nice to
help build a lead in the first half, Richardson said.
Sun Prairie has two capable quarterbacks in senior Nathan Florek and
junior Jack Zander. Florek is 37-for-60
with 637 yards, six touchdowns and one
interception. Zander is 24-for-50 with
415 yards, five touchdowns and one

makes it more expensive.
Plus, it allows the district to
use the space that moving
high school students would

make available at the current
high school and, by extension, at Badger Ridge Middle
School.
The base plan that
board members have looked
at, with a new high school
but no elementary school
or amenities, has a cost of
$153.4 million, which would
likely increase taxes about 62
cents per $1,000 of equalized
property value.
Whether the community
supports even that amount
will be known soon, as the
surveys will have a deadline
of Oct. 31 and can be filled
out in paper form or online.
Information on where to
take the survey, whom to call
with questions or how to get
a version in Spanish will all
be included with the survey.
The district also has two
informational sessions
planned Oct. 17 and 18 to
help guide residents through
the survey and make sure they
understand what to fill out.
The board plans to discuss survey results Nov. 14
at Badger Ridge Middle
School.

Edgewood: Partnership between college, Sugar Creek will continue at least through spring
education, Timothy Slekar,
before working through the
logistical challenges associated with the idea.
(We) talked about ways
we could come together as a
team to meet similar needs,
Brunner said. I need welltrained teachers, we constantly have openings. I want
the best teachers possible in
front of our kids, he wants
highly trained young teachers to graduate.
Those young teachers are
appreciative of the partnership.
We feel like were part of
the school, said Edgewood
senior Payton Klein. We
have a much stronger connection with the kids than we
would (otherwise).
It also allows Edgewood
professor Sharon Besser to
be a better instructor for her
literacy class.
She no longer will completely lose control over their
experience in a classroom
like she did when they spread
to different schools for their
practicums, she explained.
My role has sort of shifted, Besser said. Im not the

expert in the ivory tower giving this is how you have to
teach. Im basically helping
my students make sense of
the teaching theyre seeing,
then we add the theory in.
Besser is not the only
teacher to benefit either, as a
pair of SC teachers that have
hosted the practicum students in their classrooms said
its been a big help even for
some simple reasons.
Working with many children there are so many different needs, said second-grade
teacher Linda Weaver. Just
having more hands is always
a benefit in an elementary
classroom.
Immersion
Last Thursday, as Besser
walked into Brunners office,
the principal asked what her
students thought about the
lockdown drill the school
had earlier that morning.
It raised a lot of questions
(from the students), Bessemer said before launching into a discussion with
Brunner about protocols and

Sharon Besser about how to do literacy assessments.
training.
Thats an example of the
experience the students can
have together now, making
it much easier for Besser to
understand the questions her
students ask.
Theyre questions that are
going to propel their learning
in a much quicker way than
I wouldve been able to do
back at Edgewood, she said.
In the old model, I didnt
have any relationship with

Off campus
While theyve since come
to appreciate the benefits, the
location of the class was not
immediately seen as a good
thing for some.
I found it kind of annoying that it was all the way in
Verona, Edgewood student
Adama Guede admitted,
laughing at how her attitude toward the location had
changed since then.
Originally, Besser had 10
students enrolled for the literacy class taking place at
SC, but half had to drop out
once the location was finalized because it would not
leave them enough time to

get to a class that immediately followed.
Now, Guede and Klein
have found the benefits and
are glad they could stick in
the class.
I think its great having
(multiple practicums) in one
school, Guede said.
With the connection established, Besser said she can
advertise the class with its
location, which will help students avoid having to drop it
to get to other classes immediately afterwards.
Its likely the way teacher education needs to go,
Slekar, the Edgewood dean,
said.
Between this new partnership and the Equity Academy agreement, Slekar said
the school and district are
working together in ways
that benefit students in each.
As Edgewoods students get
immersed in the community
and members of the community go to Edgewood to
pursue higher education its
a partnership he hopes can
continue to grow.
We need to be not just
in the schools, but we also
need to be part of the communities, Slekar said. Itll
be a partnership of sharing
in which the best of both
of those (college and K-12
classrooms) come together.
Thats whats missing right
now.

Whether drills or lessons

location in the building and
relationship with Brunner
and the teachers allow her
to ask for more information
easily, like she did with the
drill, as she and Brunner discussed the different philosophies about how to respond
to a lockdown situation.
Besser also brought up an
earlier discussion about literacy, in which she and her
students had a lesson with
the schools literacy coordinator. Because she was in
attendance with her students
which would not happen
if their practicums were at
different locations she was
more prepared for how to
discuss the lesson with them
afterward.
The SC teachers notice it,
as well.
Its helpful that their

teacher can tell me what
theyre talking about in their
classroom ... (and) I can
work that into my lessons,
Weaver said. They can take
the knowledge from my
classroom back into their
classroom. It just kind of
works back and forth ideally
for their learning and then
just practical experience.
The students have also
had the opportunity to go
through some professional
development with SC staff,
lessons from people like
Brunner on teacher evaluation or the social worker on
disclosure laws. It also helps
them become part of a school
community, rather than just
getting to know a single
classroom like they would in
a normal practicum.
Everyones super accepting of us being here, Klein
said. When you walk down
the halls, everyone says hi.
