OWI patrol tops last years
Jim Ferolie
Verona Press editor
Its never a good idea to
drive drunk, but it would
be a particularly unwise
here Saturday night.
Thats when Veronas
main streets will be teem-
ing with police as it hosts
its second high-visibility
OWI patrol, an even big-
ger and more visible event
than last years.
The first event, also in
September, was consid-
ered a resounding success
despite not featuring any
gaudy numbers for arrests.
Thats because the goal
of the Capital Area OWI
Task Force is prevention
and attention, to make peo-
ple think twice before driv-
ing impaired.
Its the brainchild of De
Forest police Lt. Dan Fur-
seth, whose department has
been running smaller-scale
patrols using only De For-
est police for years. Last
year, he brought the idea to
other municipalities around
the county, and Verona
was one of six departments
to join the effort.
This year, with a big-
ger grant and an earlier
start, Furseth had hoped
to line up two patrols per
department and a few more
municipalities. He got the
Twelve-year-

Young diver watches over triathletes

only 12 years old, but this
month she welcomed a
responsibility many adults
might avoid.
Ziegelbauer, a seventh-
grader at Savanna Oaks
Middle School, was one of
seven trained rescue divers
chosen to watch over the
roughly 2,900 athletes who
plunged into Lake Monona
on Sept. 8 to kick off the
Ironman Wisconsin triath-
lon.
Donning a wetsuit and
with scuba gear at-the-
ready, the Verona resident
helped patrol the lake in a
motor boat, watching and
waiting in case any swim-
mers struggled.
Fortunately, the team
didnt need to make any
rescues.
We didnt even get in
the water, thankfully, she
said.
But Ziegelbauer said she
was prepared if something
had gone wrong.
She began swimming at
age 2, got her first snor-
kel at age 4 and first tried
scuba diving with her dad,
Greg, at age 8.
She was hooked on it
from there on out, said

Verona firefighter from
2000 to 2011.
Greg served as a res-
cue diver for Ironman in
2011, but a back surgery
caused him to pull out last
year. He reserved a spot on
this years crew, however.
When Meg turned 12, she
was eligible to take a two-
day certification course
required of crew members.
Greg gave her his spot on
the crew which has other
members all over 30 years
old.
Meg said she practices
diving about once a month
wi t h Madi son Scuba, a
group that swims and offers
lessons in Sun Prairie. The
other six crew members
practice with Madison Scu-
ba, too.
Theyve been extremely
nice to me, Meg said.
On race day, Meg woke
up at 3 a.m. and arrived at
Lake Monona just after 4
a.m. The crew launched
their boats an hour before
the 7 a.m. start time.
She said about 40 kayak-
ers, 20 boaters and maybe
15 paddle boarders also
hel ped keep an eye on
swimmers. Only one swim-
mer needed help getting to
a boat after pulling out of
the race.
The race itself was real-
ly cool to watch, she said.
You could barely see a
head come up, youd just
see all these arms.
Meg hopes to earn a mas-
ter-level diving certification
when shes eligible at age
18, and beyond that, she
aspires to become a Navy
Seal.
I like helping people
out and it just fits with
my area of interest, she
said.

Forum on park/ride upgrade
mark ignatowSki
Ver ona r esi dent s ar e
asked to weigh in on plans
for expanding the Verona
park and ride lot near U.S.
Hwy. 18/151 and the Mili-
tary Ridge State Trail.
The meet i ng, host ed
by the Wisconsin Depart-
ment of Transportation,
takes place from 4:30-6
p.m. Thursday, Sept. 26, at
the Verona Senior Center.
Wisconsin Department of
Transportation represen-
tatives will be available
to discuss the proposed
improvement on an individ-
ual basis. There will not be
a formal presentation.
The Ci t y of Ver ona
revi ewed si mi l ar pl ans
nearly two years ago and
eventually signed a main-
tenance agreement for it
despite the misgivings of
some alders who worried
about the repercussions
of expanding the lot. The
plans include a shelter, add-
ed parking, resurfacing, a
connecting bike path and a
bike rack.
Project manager David
Layton told the Press the
upgrade was sparked by a
plan to add public transit
facilities near the lot.
Th e ma i n f a c i l i t y
improvement will be the
construction of bus stops
on Verona Avenue, Layton
said.
A cr osswal k wi l l be
installed at the Verona Ave-
nue and Old PB intersec-
tion.
That will connect with
a path that will run along
the south side of Verona
Avenue over to the park and
ride lot, Layton said.
It will also be accessible
t o t he pedest ri an/ bi cy-
cle underpass the county
fixed up five years ago for
$400,000.
The crosswalk and under-
pass will provide access to
the bus stop on the north
side of Verona Avenue and
a shelter on the south side,
Layton said. The lot itself
will be increased to accom-
modate about 114 stalls, up
from its current 78, Layton
said.
Residents are encour-
aged to attend the meeting,
provide input and ask ques-
tions concerning this proj-
ect, the WisDOT said in a
news release. Maps show-
ing the proposed improve-
ments will be on display.
Construction is scheduled
for late 2014 or 2015.
Residents who are unable
to attend the meeting, or
would like more informa-
tion, can contact David
Layton at 246-3821.
Wr i t t e n c o mme n t s
regarding the project can
be mailed to David Layton,
2101 Wright St., Madison,
WI 53704.

T
he worlds loudest librarian
happens to be the Verona
Public Librarys director.
Having played rock music
(mostly bass guitar) for 22 years
has taken a toll on my hearing,
as did being a petulant teenager
armed with a cassette Walkman
whose volume setting might
as well have
been labeled
nitroglycerin
(which also
functionally
prevented my
acknowledge-
ment of hav-
ing parents for
at least three
years).
Consequent-
ly, I am half-deaf. Im a glass is
half-full kind of guy, though, so
I prefer referring to my hearing
loss as having become immune
to whispering. My whisper-proof
superpower rubs off on how the
library is run, and consequently,
why it was awarded the 2013
Wisconsin Library of the Year.
Just like any superpower, a
whisper-proof superpower has
one major weakness, shushing. I
believe that shushing is the kryp-
tonite of a successful library. If
youve been to the Verona Public
Library youll know its not a
quiet place.
Whats exciting about being
quiet? Quiet is relaxing, sure;
calming, you bet; allows concen-
tration, no argument there; but
Ive never found it to be exciting.
So Ive always thought, whats
wrong with libraries being excit-
ing? After all, half of our mission
as a profession is to teach and
promote literacy skills to chil-
dren. What child do you know
who is quiet, especially when
excited?
If we want kids to be excited
about reading, we have to pro-
vide environments that allow
excitement, or better yet promote
excitement.
In Verona, that is what we have
done. Weve made the library a
fun, exciting, and vibrant place.
Going down the toddler slide
in the childrens area provides an
atmosphere to link that endorphin
rush to books early on. Linking
books and reading to fun and
excitement is reinforced by the
outstanding story times provided
by the youth services librarians,
or by the array of programs the
library provides including the
annual Library Sleepover.
And lets not forget the castle
in the library. Reading in a castle
is a dream come true for many
kids.
Making the library exciting
doesnt have to be only for kids.
Weve found it works just as well
with adults.
Providing National Endowment
for the Humanities grant-funded
exhibits, music performances,
computer instruction, art exhibits
and dinosaur skeletons to the
community are loud and bold
statements that excite the kid in
all of us to come to the library.
Topics ranging from the African-
American history of baseball to
the November 2013 program,
Lincoln: The Constitution and
the Civil War, bring energy and
livelihood to the library.
From these programs, adults in
our community are remembering
or learning for the first time, how
learning and reading can be fun.
After all, its difficult to not have
fun playing or watching an his-
toric baseball game with 1870s
rules.
I encourage the library staff
to dream, to explore, and to
ultimately have fun within the
guidelines of our mission. They
carry that forward to the public
we serve.
While we have places in the
library to escape the din and
excitement, thats not why we
were awarded the 2013 Library
of the Year. That distinction
came from shedding the ste-
reotype of the librarian as the
silence-enforcing villain and the
stereotype of the library as being
a warehouse of old knowledge.
Instead, the library, like its
director, is a place that isnt
afraid to make some noise. The
library values innovation, discus-
sion, and a rock n roll attitude
making the library a place where
education and enrichment with
books and beyond are fun for
kids and adults.
Brian Simons has been the
director of the Verona Public
Library since 2008.
Peace and quiet are
a librarys kryptonite

Letter to the editor
Free speech isnt always without consequence
The story about the disgruntled
Cahoots patron charged with dis-
orderly conduct may have two
sides. But when one side is put out
there for the world to read, com-
ments and criticism are sure to
follow because, as was stated by
the letter writer, we all have first
amendment rights.
The difference between one
persons rights and anothers is a
matter of perception and how we
constructively use those rights.
They can be used speaking kind or
constructive words, to say nothing
at all, or to make comments which
are extremely offensive, out of
line, and lacking in respect.
Two adages come to mind:
Think before you speak and If
you have nothing nice to say, say
nothing at all.
Here are a few things most sen-
sible people know:
Police make their presence
known by visiting local establish-
ments. Bars probably get the most
attention because liquor is served,
and rightly so. Intoxicated people
put everyone in danger; if a police-
man entering a bar results in one
less drunk on the road, then thats
a good thing.
A man of the people or a man
speaking up for the people (which
the letter writer claimed to be) does
not make a comment like, Looks
like the Nazis are leaving. I
dont want to be represented by
someone that is foul-mouthed and
disrespectful. Sometimes less is
more when it comes to the words
we speak.
Im glad the police didnt just
walk away and ignore the rude
remarks. Since a wise and sober
person wouldnt compare the
police to Nazis, one might sur-
mise that maybe a little too much
alcohol was involved.....although
thats no excuse for what was said.
The 1st Amendment doesnt
relieve anyone of responsibil-
ity or consequences for what they
say. You cant yell FIRE! in a
crowded theater, I have a gun in
my carry-on at airport security, or
Looks like the Nazis are leaving
and NOT expect there might be
consequences.
I, for one, am glad that our police
make visits to local stores, restau-
rants, and bars, patrol the streets
of Verona, and interact with resi-
dents. Their presence makes this
community safer for all who live
here, and my comment to those
who protect and serve is, Keep up
the good work!
Beth Burke
City of Verona
New council members leave a lot to be desired
Ive had occasion in the past
weeks to talk with many of my
fellow Verona citizens and it has
become apparent that they are
in agreement with Dan Tischen-
dorf, who in the (Sept. 9) Verona
Press letters to the editor section
described the new alderpersons on
the Common Council as incompe-
tent and disrespectful.
It seems a groundswell of dis-
content is forming and several
people Ive talked to are lamenting
the fact that they did not vote in
the last municipal election.
In reference to the previous
council, one person said some-
times you dont know what youve
got until its gone. Even though the
previous aldermen didnt always
agree, they were nonpolitical and
represented their constituents well
with no specific agenda other than
the betterment of our community.
In other words, they were
knowledgeable and experienced
in matters that helped them get the
job done without perpetual delay
and discord.
Ive lived and worked in Verona
for 31 years and considering the
faction that is presently controlling
our government Im concerned for
our future. The fire department
fiasco is only a foreshadowing of
what is to come. Just wait until
decisions are made regarding the
budget and Epics TIF money.

California cartoonist back at library
Nationally syndicated
cartoonist Leigh Rubin will
be back at the Verona Pub-
lic Library and World Dairy
E x p o i n
2013.
R u b i n s
syndi cat ed
Rubes car-
toons appear
weekl y i n
mor e t han
400 news-
papers and
media outlets
worldwide.
Rubin will have an exhibit
in the south foyer of the
Alliant Energy Exhibition
Hall. He will also discuss his
work and demonstrate live
cartooning during an Oct. 3
presentation at 7 p.m. at the
Verona Public Library. The
presentation is being called
A Twisted Mind is a Ter-
rible Thing to Waste.
The California cartoonist
began his cartooning career
in 1978 by establishing his
own greeting card company,
Rubes Publications. His first
cartoon collection, the popu-
lar Notable Quotes musical
cartoons, was published in
1981.
In 2009 Rubin celebrat-
ed his 25th anniversary of
Rubes with the publication
of The Wild and Twisted
World of Rubes, a best of
collection which contains
240 of his personal favorites
out of more than 9,500 car-
toons he has created.
Originally self-syndicated,
Rubes is now distributed by
Creators Syndicate. Rubes
appears in major metropoli-
tan newspapers such as the
Los Angeles Daily News,
the Toronto Sun, the Ore-
gonian, The Washington
Times, the Sacramento Bee,
The Orange County Regis-
ter, and the Rochester (N.Y.)
Democrat and Chronicle.
This year at the Expo,
Rubin will have his famous
el ect r i c hand- pai nt ed
Moosic-Man Cow Guitar
as a special booth attraction.
If you want to be a rock
and roll star you can stop by
and play it, Rubin said. He
plans to bring a small ampli-
fier to allow people to give it
a try.
Books, calendars, t-shirts
and other Rubes items will
be available for sale and
signing at the Expo booth
and the library.
Rubi n enj oys a busy
schedule giving thought-
provoking and entertain-
ing cartoon presentations at
conferences as well as for
professional organizations
around the country.
In November, he will be
one of the main presenters
at the National Toy Hall of
Fame induction and week-
end celebration in Roch-
ester, N.Y. Initial plans
for induction day include
a reveal of new, original
Rubes cartoons featuring the
new hall of fame inductees.
He said his work general-
ly pokes fun at the absur-
dity of everyday situations
and human nature.
Rubin lives in Nipomo,
Calif., with his wife, Tere-
sa, and their three sons,
Jeremy, Ryan and Andrew.
VAHS takes on Monty Python starting today
For todays generation,
SPAM conjures images of
frustrating piles of emails;
for older generations, its the
sausage-ish material from a
can. For Monty Python fans
well, lets just say now
its time for something com-
pletely different.
For those new to the
stylings of the critically
acclaimed and ever-popu-
lar British comedy group,
theres a chance for a unique
local introduction to a new
world this weekend as Vero-
na Area High School stu-
dents open their 2013-14 the-
atre season with four perfor-
mances of Monty Pythons
Spamalot. And you dont
even have to like Spam.
VAHS director of theater
Steve Nibbe said the show
is wacky, crazy, and color-
ful, and involves around
60 students, including a cast
of around 40, a dozen crew
members and 10 students
performing in the orchestra
pit.
Anyone who enj oys
Monty Python should enjoy
Spamalot, he said. I loved
the show when I saw it on
Broadway. Its very funny,
and I thought we had the kids
to produce it.
Students have been work-
ing hard on the production,
attending a two-week theater
camp last month to prepare
for the four-day run, one of
two major shows VAHS pro-
duces each year, in addition
to two smaller ones, Nibbe
said.
There is so much to be
learned from being in the-
ater, he said. Ensemble
work, problem solving, com-
munication skills, apprecia-
tion for the arts...the list goes
on. And its fun.
Spamalot was written by
original Python member
Eric Idle and John Du Prez.
The show details the contin-
ued misadventures of char-
acters from the classic 1975
film, Monty Python and the
Holy Grail, as King Arthur
(Bryn Rourke), his steward
Patsy (Molly Kempfer) and
trusty Knights of the Round
Table Sir Lancelot (Alex
Roller), Sir Galahad (John-
nie Yang), Sir Robin (Nate
Lucas) and Sir Bedevere
(Will Schroeder) form a quest
to find Camelot.
During the journey, the
Lady of the Lake (Zoe Han-
sen), Historian (Kat Bill-
ings), Mayor (Frost White)
and Prince Herbert (Randy
Kessenich) provide some
interesting diversions. Will
they ever reach their final des-
tination?
The shows run daily from
Thursday, Sept. 26 to Sun-
day, Sept. 29 at the VAHS
Performing Arts Center, 300
Richard St. Thursday, Friday
and Saturday shows begin at
7:30 p.m., with a Sunday mat-
inee show at 2 p.m.
Tickets are $7 for children;
$12 for adults. For infor-
mation or tickets, call 845-

Mirror Neurons & Why Love Engenders Love
Mirror neurons are nerve cells in the brain which fire both when
the individual acts and when the individual observes someone
else doing the action in question. They were discovered by Italian
neurophysiologists in the 1990s who were studying hand and
mouth movements in macaque monkeys. What they discovered,
almost by accident, is that the neurons controlling these move-
ments became active when the monkeys saw people picking up
food and eating. Since then, mirror neurons have been found
in many areas of the brain and it has been proposed that large
areas of the human brain may act in a similar way, explaining
why we suddenly feel happy when we see someone laughing
and smiling, or why we might flinch when we see someone trip
and fall. Perhaps this is the explanation for why emotions tend
to engender similar emotions in others and has been proposed
as the neural basis for empathy. Of course it doesnt take a brain
surgeon or a rocket scientist to know that happy people make
others happy, while angry or anxious folks make others angry or
anxious. So, we should try to be happy, be lovable, and make the
world a better place by smiling at everyone you meet.

Erpenbach hosts health care meeting
Looking to answer ques-
tions and provide informa-
tion about coming health
care changes prior to the
Oct. 1 start-
u p d a t e ,
S e n . J o n
Er pe nba c h
(D-Mi ddl e-
ton), is hold-
i ng several
information-
al meetings,
i n c l u d i n g
one in Vero-
na.
That meeting is scheduled
for 6-7 p.m., Wednesday,
Oct. 2 at the Verona Senior
Center (108 Paoli St.), and
Erpenbach is scheduled to
speak, among others.
The Affordable Care Act
will unveil the new Health
Insurance Marketplace on
Tuesday, Oct. 1, and plans
will go into effect Jan. 1.
With this new program,
people regardless of resi-
dence can buy insurance
from private health plans
that cover a comprehensive
set of benefits, including
doctor visits, hospital stays
preventative care and pre-
scriptions.
A news release from
Erpenbach directed people,
particularly small business
owners, to the most accu-
rate information on the
changes at healthcare.gov.
Erpenbach said the recently
passed state budget changed
Wisconsins BadgerCare
program, which will affect
around 90,000 people.
Parents currents enrolled
in that program who make
more than $15,500 for a
couple will receive a letter
soon telling them they will
lose coverage through the
state and must sign up for
a private plan through the
Marketplace, the release
read.
Erpenbach

Repeat vandalism
Scout gets support,
lessons when his
project is hit again
Kimberly Wethal
Verona Press correspondent
Vince Lombardi would
approve of Jackson Pundts
response to his vandalized
Eagle Scout project:
When you get knocked
down, get back up.
Pundts service project,
informative nature signs
that lie within the Military
Ridge Reserve on the east
side of Verona, had been
donated to the city as a part
of his capstone project for
his troop. But twice they
have been vandalized, with
the latest incident occurring
Sept. 7.
The signs were originally
installed June 30 after four
months of planning, and it
took less than a day before
the signs were vandalized
for the first time, ripped
off their posts and dis-
carded. After that incident,
the signs were fixed to be
more vandalism-proof, but
they only lasted for another
month before being torn
down again.
Peopl e ar e bor ed,
Pundt said. When I see
something, my first impulse
isnt to destroy it, but Im
not sure what goes through
some peoples heads.
Pundts mother, Sarah,
said her son has taken away
some positive things from
what could have been a
morale-breaking experi-
ence.
This whole experience
has taught him that hes
surrounded by a commu-
nity that supports him and
stands behind him, Sarah
said of the communitys
response to the vandalism.
Since the signs had been
donated to the city, it is
now the citys responsibil-
ity to fix up the signs or to
move them to a location
where they will be less
susceptible to future van-
dalism. David Walker, the
city parks director, said the
signs are in the process of
being fixed.

Fourth-generation dentist aspires to old-time values
Scott Girard
For anyone who has ever
chipped a tooth, needed one
removed or just liked to keep
their mouth healthy, the value
of a good dentist is under-
stood.
Bu t Dr .
David Bes-
l e y , wh o
opened a new
dentist office
i n Ver ona
earlier this
year at 109
E. Ver ona
Ave., said his
office hopes to do more than
the basic dental care.
Were trying to capture
a little bit of that friendli-
ness that people are looking
for, Besley said, adding that
he aims to keep a warm,
friendly atmosphere and a
small practice. People used
to be able to expect that, but
its not always the case any-
more.
The practice provides all
of the services one would
expect at a general dentistry
office, including preven-
tive, restorative and cosmetic
care, with just two employees
besides Besley.
Besley, a fourth-generation
dentist, has practiced den-
tistry since 2007, but this is
the first time he has been out
on my own after working in
Mt. Horeb and Madison.
Many of the patients he
had seen previously kept
their eyes out for him and
have followed him to Vero-
na, where he has 100 patients
after starting from scratch in
June.
Its been great to see
familiar faces coming in and
folks who just walked by and
came in, he said.
Besley, who lives in Madi-
son, said Verona had always
been on my radar after com-
muting to Mt. Horeb for a
couple of years earlier in his
career.
Verona is a great place,
and Im glad to be here, he
said.
On top of the friendly
atmosphere, Besley worked
to outfit his new office
in a green way, with
high-efficiency air condition-
ers and furnaces, mostly fluo-
rescent and LED lighting and
recycled carpets and chairs,
including from his fathers
old practice.
When I had this oppor-
tunity to start from basically
scratch, he said of the reno-
vation process on the build-
ing which housed a dental
practice before his I did
it like I would want to do a
house if I built a house, which
is as sustainable as possible.
His devotion to sustainabil-
ity even earns its own sec-
tion on his website, where he
details the different practices
and efforts, many of which
were almost no-brainers,
with little added expense.
And for the little expense
it may have added, Besley is
confident the long-term ener-
gy costs will make it worth
it for the future.
We tried to make sure in
the project, wherever pos-
sible, we could be very sus-
tainable with it, he said.
I feel strongly thats an
important thing.

Yoga studio closes Verona location
A Verona yoga studio that
opened in March has since
closed.
Inner Fire Yoga opened
a studio in the Verona Ath-
letic Center, at 411 Prairie
Heights Drive, under the
ownership of Marit Sathrum,
who opened her first Inner
Fire location in Madison 10
years ago.
Although Sathrum previ-
ously told the Verona Press
she was optimistic about
the location, it didnt take
long for me to realize that
our location in the Verona
Athletic Center was just not
going to work out for us,
Sathrum said in an email.
The studio closed at the
end of April. However, the
studio opened a new loca-
tion on the University of
Wisconsin-Madison campus
in August.

Verona cruises to sweep Madison Memorial
Anthony Iozzo
Assistant sports editor
The Verona Area High School volley-
ball team picked up eight of 10 points to
turn a 3-point deficit in game two into a
3-point lead.
It added another big run in game three
to turn a 3-point deficit into a six-point
lead and went on to sweep Madison
Memorial in a Big Eight Conference
match 3-0 (25-16, 25-16, 25-20).
We have been practicing that when
we get into ruts that communication can
turn things around, head coach Kelly
Annen said. They have realized that
communication really does lead to control
physically in the game and emotionally as
well.
Sophomore outside hitter Kylie
Schmaltz had nine kills, while junior libe-
ro Morgan Schmitz collected five digs.
Sophomore setter Victoria Brisack led
with 21 assists and three aces, and sopho-
more middle blocker Grace Mueller had
one block.

assists and seven aces. Schmitz added 13
digs.

2-0 (25-15, 25-22), Jefferson 2-0 (25-18,
25-14) and Cuba City 2-0 (25-22, 25-17).

Wildcats splash past the Spartans
Jeremy Jones
Sports editor
Anyone who didnt feel goose
bumps by the end of Fridays Big
Eight Conference dual between
Madison Memorial and the Verona/
Mount Horeb girls swimming teams
probably should have asked someone
to check their pulse as a standing-
room only capacity crowd worked
itself into a deafening roar inside the
Verona Natatorium.
Although she didnt swim the final
event, you would have been hard-
pressed to find anyone more emo-
tional during or after the 400-meter
freestyle Friday than Wildcats upper-
classman Maddy Nelson.
The eldest of two standout sib-
lings, Maddy swam to an individual
win and helped the 200-meter free-
style relay take first place in a 96-74
win over the rival Spartans. Still it
was the cheering on of younger sister
Beata, who, along with seniors Mal-
lory Olson, Lindsay Craig and Becca
Wilson, came-from-behind to ice the
meet with a victory of 4 minutes,
7.93 seconds in the 400 free relay that
choked up the senior captain.
Pumping Beata up before that
relay was my way of being on that
relay with her, Maddy Nelson said.
Even though she was still way ahead
she still went all out. Coming back
for my senior year and winning the
meet with her was really emotional.
The host Wildcats won eight of
11 events, including a relay sweep to
take Fridays Big Eight Conference
dual.
I was a little nervous coming
into tonight, but I wouldnt say I am
surprised just because my girls have
worked so hard this week, VMH
head coach Halley Johnson said.
Theyve been so focused.
The win marked the second time
in the past three seasons the Wildcats
have defeated Madison Memorial in
a dual meet. The previous two were
both separated by a mere 10 points
with the home team prevailing in
each meeting.
I knew it would be a battle,
Spartans head coach Stacey Johans-
son said. Verona has a lot of great
swimmers. They swam great and put
together a tremendous lineup.
Maddy Nelson loving called her
sister Beata a freak of nature.
Despite being injured all season,
the younger Nelson led a sweep of
the top three spots in the 100 butterfly
with her time of 1:03.21.
Its hard to see her upset about it
because then she feels like she is let-
ting the team down, but then when
she comes here and swims like that.
Even if shes not at 100 percent, shes
still giving everything shes got. Im
proud of her and I get emotional
because thats my baby sister.
Dealing with injuries is noth-
ing new for the sophomore standout
who broke the Big Eight Conference
record of ex-Madison East standout
and University of Wisconsin swim-
mer Ruby Martin just 15 days after a
pelvic injury against Madison West
left her walking with crutches for a
week.
Beata, as well as freshman Kristi
Larsen and juniors Sammy Seymour
and Shelby Rozeboom, set the tone
early, dominating the 200-medley
relay by more than three seconds with
a 2:03.5.
The Nelson sisters, Rozeboom and
freshman Maizie Seidl later secured
the second of three relay wins for
Verona by taking the 200 free in
1:51.69.
Beatas been so diligent about
rehab and everything, Johnson said.
Its something shes going to have to
deal with all season, but as you could
see tonight, its not going to stop her.
Going up against one of the top
swimmers in the state, Johansson
said, If you win a race you get six
points. If you get second you get four,
so it doesnt matter how much she
beat us by its still six points.
You never know what shes going
to swim because she can swim any-
thing we just did what we could to
score points wherever we could score
them.

Offense stumbles as Cats drop second straight
Anthony Iozzo
Three losses in five games
is not something the Verona
Area High School football
program is used to, espe-
cially since Verona hasnt
lost three games in a regular
season since 2004 and hasnt
missed the playoffs since
2003.
But head coach Dave
Richardson said the Wild-
cats could very easily be
undefeated and ranked No.
2 in the state if the team just
stopped beating itself.
Fridays 17-14 loss to
Madison Memorial (5-0) was
no exception with the offense
losing a fumble on a late
drive and having drives stall
due to penalties that forced
third-and-long plays.
It just seems that anytime
we got something going, a
flag would come flying in or
we would fumble it or a guy
would be going the wrong
way, Richardson said. The
game is hard enough, and
now we are compounding
it by adding silly errors that
cost you football games.
The Wildcats did put
together a nice drive at the
end, with senior quarterback
John Tackett connecting on a
15-yard pass to the end zone
to Schmid. Verona tried an
onside kick after and failed.
The Wildcats had other
chances to win though, even
after it fell behind 10-0 early
on. The Wildcats received
the ball to start the third quar-
ter down 10-7 and had a sev-
en yard gain by junior run-
ning back Cameron Tindall,
no gain by junior running
back Eric Schmid, a loss of
two yards by Tindall and a
delay of game penalty. That
led to a punt from their own
27, giving Memorial good
field position.
On the ensuing drive,
Memorial went 63 yards in
11 plays to punch in its final
points of the game, a 4-yard
run by senior running back
Trevis Miller.
But the Wildcats didnt
answer the way Richardson
wanted on the next drive.
They reached the Memo-
rial 47-yard line to set up
a fourth-and-3, but an ille-
gal motion penalty made it
fourth-and-8. The result was
a turnover on downs on the
next play.
Then a drive that seemed
to be setting up a dramatic
finish fizzled out with a turn-
over. Schmid lost the ball
on the Memorial 25, and the
Spartans were able to run
the clock down to under two
minutes.
The same thing happened
in a loss to Madison La Fol-
lette (4-1) the week before,
with the Wildcats being in
position to take control in
the second half but losing
momentum due to having a
good play followed by a bad
one, if it was a penalty or
a missed block or a missed
tackle.
It is frustrating because
we do some things and then
take steps backwards, Rich-
ardson said. You dont want
to be running over the same
ground all the time. It is
on me as the coach. I have to
figure what makes this group
tick and how we can operate
here.
Veronas first touchdown
came with 2 minutes, 44
seconds left in the first half.
Tackett found senior running
back Travis Murray in the
end zone for a 16-yard touch-
down pass to cut the deficit
to 10-7 at the time.
Defensively, the Wild-
cats were able to make some
plays and force stops to give
the offense chances. Senior
defensive lineman Kenny
Keyes and junior linebacker
Dakin Coons both picked
up big sacks to force punts.
But Memorial didnt turn the
ball over, while Verona did
twice, with an interception of
Tackett in the first quarter.
Memorial hit a 26-yard
field goal and sophomore
running back Jason Weah
scored on a 9-yard touch-
down run in the first, but the
defense did hold the Spartans
to just seven points from the
second through the fourth
quarters.
It is not like we are not
getting opportunities. We
are just not executing, Rich-
ardson said. That is on us.
We have to figure out how
to finish drives. It was the
same story with Sun Prairie.
We couldnt finish drives. It
is the same story here. We
couldnt finish any drives.
We have a fairly talented
group of guys, but they are
making the game tough. And
we are making the game
tough.
I dont know whether
to go back to basics, but
right now, we are frustrated
with everything. Hopefully
we will look at film, make
some adjustments and play
the game a little better next
week.
Tindall led Verona with
81 yards on 13 carries, while
Schmid finished with 59
yards on 13 carries. Schmid
also caught two passes for 21
yards, while Murray caught
two for 22 yards.
Miller finished with 95
yards on 18 carries, while

After finishing second

this season, junior Ryan
Namet h f i nal l y got a

someone other than Madi-

Hacker on Saturday where
he helped Verona bring

the Wildcats take the title

host Sussex-Hamilton at 1 p.m. Saturday at
Reddan.
Verona finishes the week at 7 p.m. Tues-
day at Madison East.
Verona 1, Stoughton 0
The Wildcats hosted Stoughton at Reddan
Park Monday in a non-conference game and
pulled out a 1-0 win.
Senior Garrett Grunke scored in the
68th minute with an assist to junior Casey
Thompson.
Head coach Jake Andreska said the bench
was one of the main reasons Verona was
able to fend off Stoughton in a tight match.
It was good to play against some good
competition and be able to win a close game
and get into a habit of doing that, Andreska
said. ... We just had a little more depth
than they did.
Senior goalie Connor Rortvedt had four
saves.

The Wildcats need to finish
3-1 to have a shot at the play-
offs, and Madison East (0-5),
Janesville Parker (2-3) and
Madison West (1-4) are still
on the schedule.
Richardson said it doesnt
what team Verona faces. It
just cant play out of its sys-
tem.
I dont care who lines up
on the football field. We just
have to play the game better
and execute better and, right
now, we are not, Richard-
son said. We have to learn
and keep moving forward,
and hopefully, we can put one
together next week and figure
out how it feels to be success-
ful against the game, not so
much the opponent.

10-4) pulled out wins in a tie-
breaker against the Warriors,
as did the No. 3 doubles team

Jeremy Jones
did not score.
The boys ran well but we still need a
fifth man to bring himself closer to the
2-3-4 guys if we are to progress, Marks
said.
Verona won the JV meet by sweep-
ing the top 11 spots (only top five score)
behind sophomore Alec Shivas first-
place finish.
To take the top 11 spots in the JV race
with almost 200 boys running everyone
is keeping the guys in front of them hon-
est, Marks said.
Girls
Senior Jenni LaCroix once again paced
the Wildcats. The lone Verona athlete to
crack 21 minutes, LaCroix covered the
longer than normal 5K course in 20:28 to
finish 10th overall.
Normally running a 4K, Higgins fin-
ished well back in 37th place with her
time of 22:10 as Verona took fifth overall
with a team score of 136.
I think that many of the girls surprised
themselves with how strong they could
run the longer distance, head coach
Dave Nelson said.
For the first time this season, Verona
junior Erica Higgins didnt finish as the
teams No. 2 runner, dropping back to
the final varsity scorer Saturday at the
Franklin Saber Invitational.
Stepping up in place of Higgins was
senior Felicia Retrum who came in 26th
with a 21:23. Junior Sarah Guy finished
11 seconds later five spots back in 31st
place, while senior teammate Aylise
Grosenbacher-McGlamery reached the
finish line three seconds later in 32nd.
Higgins finished 37th overall in 21.52.
Sophomore Kayleigh Hannifan and
freshman Franny Donovan also competed
on varsity.
Westosha Central (39) ran away with
the team title behind the first-place fin-
ish of junior Melissa Capra, while the
host Sabers (64), Beaver Dam (76) and
Pewaukee (77) rounded out the top four
schools ahead of Verona.
We are at the point in the season now
with three races before the conference
meet that we need to be willing to lay it
on the line and see how hard we can com-
pete, Nelson
Freshman Judy Watters finished fourth
overall to help the Wildcats JV team
take second place.
There are many girls who have the
opportunity to represent our team at the
varsity level at sectionals and possibly
the state meet, Nelson said. We need to
realize that we are one of the teams in the
hunt for a spot in the state meet from our
sectional.
One of the spots Memo-
rial had taken advantage of
the Wildcats in the past was
the distance events, but that
wasnt the case this time
around.
Swimming club year
round for the Verona Aquatic
Club before it folded opera-
tions earlier this year, senior
Mallory Olson was one of
the newest to the rivalry and
made an immediate impact.
Its really been different,
Olson said of the transition to
joining the team as a senior.
I really like the atmosphere,
though, everyone is very
encouraging and positive.
I was really nervous the
first meet. I didnt know the
cheers, but I caught on quick
and its been really fun.
Olson took the 400 free in
a meet-best 4:43.94 and also
contributed in the 400 free
relay.
Sophomore Julia Ver
Voort led a 1-2 finish in the
200 individual medley with
her time of 2:33.87, while
Rozeboom claimed the 50
free in 27.90 and Maddy Nel-
son added the 100 backstroke
title in 1:07.55.
Sophomore Claire Eckerle
secured the Spartans lone
win going into the break, tak-
ing the 200 free in 2:16.41.
Senior Gabby Sanchez
(1:02.66) and sophomore
Maya Gomez (1:18.36) did
their best to keep Memorial
in the meet, taking the 100
free and 100 breaststroke,
respectively, but in the end
the Wildcats simply had too
much talent.
They say dual meets
arent a big deal, but its
still huge to beat Memorial,
Maddy Nelson said. If we
beat Middleton (this Friday)
it will raise the bar even
more.
If we can beat them in a
dual meet, maybe we beat
them at conference. Me
being a captain, I want to
make sure that happens.
Veronas JV team fell 110-
60.
Blackshirt Invitational
The Wildcats, who have
made no secrets about their
goal of finishing third overall
at this years WIAA Division
1 state swimming meet, got
an early preview of things to
come Saturday at the Black-
shirt Invitational in Wauke-
sha where they finished
fourth behind the states top
three teams.
Two-time defending state
champion Waukesha South/
Mukwonago won the meet,
finishing 58 points ahead of
last years runner-up Arrow-
head (370), while Middleton
(263) finished a distant third.
Last years third place finish-
er at state, Cedarburg, came
in fifth.
I feel like we got to see
the competition well ahead of
time, said Johnson, whose
team scored 240 points. We
obviously know Middleton,
we see them at least three
times a season, but it was
nice to be able to see Wauke-
sha South and Arrowhead at
this point in the season and
get a feel for them.
Now the girls know what
caliber it takes to be at the
top in the state, and after last
weeks showing at both our
individual and invite, Im
confident we have what it
takes to be in the top three.
Beata Nelson, Larsen, Sey-
mour and Rozeboom jump-
started the meet swimming
to a third-place finish in the
200 medley relay (1:50.01).
Beata helped the Wildcats
match the finish in the 400
free (3:40.05) along with
Seidl, Craig and Olson.
Rozeboom went on to add
a fourth-place finish in the 50
free (24.79), while Seymour
(1:01.8) led Verona with a
fifth-place finish in the 100
fly.
Maddy Nelson added a
fifth-place finish in the 100
backstroke, while Seidls
seventh place in the 100 free
led all Wildcats.
Maizie really stepped it
up at this meet and proved
to the team and the coaches
that she is A relay material
and stands well alone in the
100 free, Johnson said. She
went a 56.02 in her individ-
ual 100 free and then lead-
ing off the relay she went a
56.02, you cant ask for more
consistency than that.

Fall planting season is here!
Trees, Shrubs, Perennials and lawns love
cool evenings and the rains of fall.
extra participants the City
of Madison, City of Sun
Prairie, Town of Madison
and Village of Maple Bluff
all came on board to bring
the total to nine but legal
complexities compressed
the timeline to a three-
month window, leaving
room for just one patrol per
department.
Stoughton kicked off the
first event June 29, and
Veronas is the last, a day
before the state Department
of Transport at i on grant
expires. It runs from 7-11
p.m. and will feature 12
officers in 11 cars, includ-
ing one supervisor from
Verona who will direct the
patrol, blanketing the citys
most highly traveled roads.
Officers will make as
many contacts, or traf-
fic stops, as possible, fre-
quently doling out friendly
warnings, while lighted
and reflective signs let
people know theyre being
watched. If last years event
is any indication, blue and
red lights will be flashing
somewhere pretty much
nonstop.
Of course, that one was
held during and after the
bi g Ver ona- Mi ddl et on
football game, which made
for a little extra traffic, but
this years will have almost
twice as many officers.
Verona Sgt. Matt Dart, who
is in charge of Veronas
patrols, said last years
patrol was mostly confined
to North Main Street and
East Verona Avenue, but
this years event will likely
be able to cover all of Main
St reet , Verona Avenue
and even the U.S. 18-151
bypass.
We need to keep it to
within our citys jurisdic-
tion, but it is possible that
we may have a traffic stop
on the outskirts of our city,
Dart added in an email to
the Verona Press.
The patrols started last
summer, after De Forest
earned an $18,000 DOT
grant to partner with other
jurisdictions.
Five other municipalities
signed on, and after things
went well, all but one opted
to continue. Several oth-
ers indicated they would
consider joining the second
year.
The DOT provi ded a
bigger grant, $30,000, for
Year 2, but the experience
of the first patrols brought
up some legal technicalities
that needed to be answered,
including clarifying the
jurisdiction of each officer
and supervisor a cost-shar-
ing mechanism for officers
benefits.
Each community had
to adopt an ordinance that
allowed officers to write
citations for the other com-
munity, Furseth explained
of one of the most time-
consuming aspects of final-
izing what ultimately was a
low-risk agreement.
Now, with the template
ready and ni ne depart -
ments having gone through
the process before, Furs-
eth believes it will be easy
to continue and expand. In
fact, after the consortium
consisting of himself
and chiefs of other depart-
ments meets next month,
he believes the next years
patrols can start as early as
November.
Funding, from what I
gather, is available, Fur-
seth said. At the DOT,
funding sources are very
limited, but they are going
to push for multiagency
hi gh-vi si bi l i t y enforce-
ment.
Furseth said hed like
to be a lot more aggres-
sive than last year about
holding patrols. He said
the grant provides enough
resources for t wo, per-
haps even three patrols
per department and pos-
sibly even more depart-
ments, which would make
the patrols even bigger, as
each visiting department
contributes one officer per
patrol. Some cities add sig-
nificantly more than their
one officer Stoughton,
for example, provided four
and extended its patrols to
3 a.m. but all provide at
least one patrol officer and
one supervisor.
If this keeps catching on,
perhaps it can grow beyond
the consortium.
My goal woul d be
countywide, Furseth said.

said the reports are of
limited value.
This was the first year
the DPI issued grades for
districts as a whole. It
began grading individual
schools a year ago.
Of the states 424 pub-
lic school districts, nine
significantly exceeded
expectations, 270 meet
expectations, 10 meet
few expectations and one
failed to meet expecta-
tions. One was not rated.
Of the districts schools,
New Cent ury El emen-
tary School received the
highest grade and was the
only school in the top cat-
egory. Four schools were
marked as exceeds and
four got meets grades.
Verona Area International
School was not rated, and
the Exploration Academy
opened this year. The low-
est score was from Country
View Elementary School,
which received a 68.9.
The reports broke scores
down into four priority
areas: student achievement;
student growth; closing
gaps; and on-track and
postsecondary readiness.
Student achievement
Ver ona scor ed wel l
above the state average in
the student achievement
category, which measured
the level of knowledge
and skills among students
in the district.
The DPI used Wisconsin
Student Assessment Sys-
tem scores in reading and
mathematics to determine
the rating in this area.
VASD received a 74.9,
compared to a 66.1 state-
wide score. Both math and
reading scores were at least
four points above the states.
At speci fi c school s,
scores ranged from Gla-
cier Edges 66.6 to a high
of 83.5 at New Century.
Student growth
VASD also fared well in
the student growth catego-
ry, with a 67.8 rating com-
pared to the states 60.6.
This area measured how
much student knowledge of
reading and mathematics
changes from year to year,
giving positive points for
students progressing toward
higher levels of perfor-
mance and negative points
for student who decline
below proficiency.
The report used t he
same testing scores from
the achievement category
to measure growth.
While the state stan-
dards for grading its state-
wide tests were changed
before the 2012-13 school-
year, making it impossible
to compare to previous
years, the report cards ret-
roactively applied the new
standards, and it showed
l i t t l e change from t he
2011-12 scores.
There was again a wide
range among the districts
schools in student growth
scores. New Century again
came out on top with a
90.4, and Glacier Edge
had a 59.8.
Closing Gaps
The Closing Gaps cat-
egory, which focused on
showing how the perfor-
mance of student groups
experiencing statewide
gaps in achievement and
graduation is improving
in the district, was a dif-
ferent story, with Verona
scoring below the state.
VASD received a 65.8
rating, one point behind
the state score of 66.8.
The district has had a
problem with achievement
gaps for years now, illus-
trated by the lower test
scores from economically
disadvantaged and minor-
ity students on average.
Behn said the district
has recognized the short-
fall and took further steps
to address it throughout
the 2012-13 school year.
We ma de s i gni f i -
cant efforts last year, but
youre not going to see
those efforts because the
resul t s were based on
(tests) early in the school
year, she said. Hope-
fully we will see some
significant gains in that
category next year.
Gorrell noted the dis-
tricts extensive efforts
over the past few years,
including developing per-
sonalized learning, special
training for teachers and
working closely with DPI,
among other things.
Thats something were
really focusing on and put-
ting a lot of energy and
effort in, he said We
want to, at some point, see
it start to move.
At the individual school
level, most scored below
the state score for their
grade levels, but Savanna
Oaks bested the state by
more than 10 points with
a 75.1 and Glacier Edge
came in just behind the
state score of 65.6 with a
65.5.
On-track, readiness
The final category, on-
track and postsecondary
readiness, brought VASD
back above the states
score, with an 89.0 com-
pared to 84.9 for the state.
This area measured the
success of students in the
district in achieving edu-
cational milestones that
predict postsecondary suc-
cess, including gradua-
tion and attendance rates,
as well as ACT and other
testing scores.
The l owest score i n
this category came from
Count ry Vi ew, t hough
it was still an 84.9. Bad-
ger Ridge, Savanna Oaks
and Core Knowledge all
scored over 91.
Moving forward
Even though the district
exceeded expectations,
Behn said, there is still
a ways to go when it
comes to some of the data.
She said the district is
increasing the professional
development it offers to
staff members, changing its
curricula and continuing to
develop the Pre-K (4-year-
old kindergarten) program,
which Behn hopes will help
students grow long-term.
We dont want to spend
a lot of time on interven-
tions (with struggling stu-
dents); we want the cur-
riculum to be helping all
of our kids, she said. We
want to get to that positive
success before they even
need interventions.
Gor r el l , meanwhi l e,
called the reports helpful
for seeing and measur-
ing certain types of prog-
ress but said he puts more
stock in annual site reports
and other local measures.
He said those get more
granular than the over-
all report cards focus on
WKCE testing.
I t has l i mi t ed use,
because it measures the
temperature of a school
at a certain point based
on a certain measure, the
WKCE, he said. It really
doesnt help us with indi-
viduals, and thats what
were really focused on.

Numbers up again for librarys summer reading program
Kimberly Wethal
Verona Press correspondent
This years summer read-
ing program at the Verona
Publ i c Li brary showed
another increase in overall
participation.
Accor di ng t o yout h
servi ces di rect or St acy
Burkart, the reading pro-
gr am went above and
beyond the librarys already
high expectations.
This year had the best
part i ci pat i on ever seen
since the program start-
ed, Burkart said. Were
always expected to be one
of busiest libraries in the
state.
The program involved a
total of 2,171 children and
teens (1,835 children and
336 teens).
Burkart said she thinks
the jump in the summer
reading programs partici-
pation is due to the various
special events that were
held at the library all sum-
mer long.
We had special events
like crafts, performers and
New Food Fridays where the
kids could come taste some-
thing they might not have
ordinarily tried, Burkart
said. It was very similar to
last years program.
In addition to the activi-
ties encouraging kids to
come to the library more
often, the library staff spent
a lot of time spreading the
word about the summer
reading program.
We went to elementary
schools last year before
school got out, letting kids
know that we had a summer
reading program, Burkart
said.
Burkart hopes that the
kids not only had fun par-
ticipating in the summer
reading program, but that it
will help them as they get
back into the swing of the
school year.
Experts say that read-
ing four-six books over
the summer will reduce
the knowledge loss that
can occur, Burkart said.
Hopefully the reading pro-
gram made an impact.
Photos by Mark Ignatowski
Library programming, such as this play in August, helped bring kids to the library throughout the sum-
mer and draw 2,171 teens and children to the summer reading program.
In these photos, the Traveling Lantern Theatre Company presents a play based on the beloved charac-
ter of the late Steve Crocodile Hunter Irwin.

CITy OF VERONA
MINUTES
COMMON COUNCIL
SPECIAL MEETING
SEPTEMBER 16, 2013
VERONA CITy HALL
1. The meeting was called to order
by Mayor Hochkammer at 6:01 p.m.
2. Pledge of Allegiance
3. Roll Call: M. Bare, L. Diaz, E.
Doyle, S. Manley, Wm. McGilvray, H.
Reekie, B. Stiner, and D. yurs. Also in at-
tendance: City Administrator, B. Burns;
Fire Chief, J. Giver; and City Clerk, K.
Lynch.
4. Discussion and Possible Ac-
tion Re: A Motion to Reconsider Action
Taken on Item 11 (1) Under Old Business
from the Sept. 9, 2013 Meeting of the Ve-
rona Common Council. Motion by McGil-
vray, seconded by Stiner to reconsider
action taken on item 11 (1) under Old
Business from the September 9, 2013
meeting of the Verona Common Council.
A roll call vote was taken with the follow-
ing members voting aye: Bare, Manley,
McGilvray, Reekie, Stiner, and yurs. Vot-
ing no: Diaz and Doyle. The Motion car-
ried 6/2.
5. Discussion and Possible Ac-
tion Re: Authorizing the Utilization of
Funds for Fire Department Recruitment
Costs. Motion by McGilvray, seconded
by Stiner to authorize the utilization of
funds for Fire Department recruitment
costs. Ald. Bare expressed concern that
the item would be a transfer of funds
that amends the budget which would
require a two-thirds majority vote. Ad-
ministrator Burns stated that the funds
are currently in the budget in a profes-
sional services account and that a bud-
get amendment would not be required
as there would not be an increase in the
Citys authorized expenditures.
Mayor Hochkammer ruled that a
two-thirds majority vote is not required
for this item.
Motion by Bare, seconded by Diaz
to appeal the Mayors ruling that a two-
thirds majority vote is not required for
the utilization of funds for Fire Depart-
ment recruitment costs. A roll call vote
was requested by Ald. McGilvray. The
following members voted aye: Bare
and Diaz. Voting no were: Doyle, Man-
ley, McGilvray, Reekie, Stiner, and yurs.
The Motion failed 2/6.
Ald. Bare then made a Motion to
amend the original Motion as follows:
I move to authorize the utilization
of funds for Fire Department recruiting
costs in the amount of $4,555, con-
tingent upon striking Section 6 of the
Verona Joint Fire District Dissolution
Agreement between the Town of Verona
and the City of Verona dated April 12,
2013, as authorized by Section 9b of the
Agreement and creating a new Section 6
of the Agreement to read:
In order to establish a City Fire De-
partment, the City agrees to promote
the Joint Fire District personnel to be
employees of the City Fire Department.
The personnels employment shall be
contingent upon their completion of
evaluation measures recommended
by the City Fire Chief and approved by
the City Police and Fire Commission,
including but not limited to medical
and psychological examinations, drug
screens, and background checks. The
employees shall fle with the City Fire
Chief and City Administrator all docu-
mentation required by state law to be a
qualifed frefghter. The employees will
have one year to complete certifcation
and training programs recommended
by the City Fire Chief and approved by
the Citys Police and Fire Commission.
The employment shall be probationary
subject to a review after six months of
service and one year of service.
Should this process not fll a posi-
tion, the City agrees to adopt by-laws to
govern the timely hiring for the vacant
position consistent with applicable Wis-
consin Statutes. No residency require-
ment established as a condition of em-
ployment for fre personnel shall, during
the term of the Fire Service Agreement,
preclude the hiring of residents of the
Town, provided, however, that this
provision shall not preclude the adop-
tion of a residency requirement based
on the time between the applicants or
employees residence and a City fre sta-
tion, travel time between such locations,
or other objective criteria not based on
municipal boundaries.
Mayor Hochkammer ruled that
the proposed Motion greatly expands
the current Motion as it referenced
amending the two-party Fire District
Dissolution Agreement and ruled that
the Motion is not germane to the origi-
nal Motion. Ald. Bare made a Motion
to appeal this ruling seconded by Ald.
Doyle. A roll call vote was requested by
Ald. McGilvray. The following members
voted aye: Bare, Diaz, and yurs. The
following members voted no: Doyle,
Manley, McGilvray, Reekie, and Stiner.
The Motion failed 3/5.
A roll call vote was taken on the
original Motion to authorize the Utiliza-
tion of funds for Fire Department Re-
cruitment costs. The following members
voted aye: Manley, McGilvray, Stiner,
and yurs. The following members voted
no: Bare, Diaz, Doyle, and Reekie. May-
or Hochkammer broke the tie with an
aye vote. The Motion carried 5/4.
6. Adjournment
Motion by Stiner, seconded by Diaz
to adjourn the meeting at 6:49 p.m. Mo-
tion carried 8/0.

Saturday. So far, "Henry's
Heroes" has 34 people, and
through this event, the fam-
ily aims to raise another
$4,500, Rash wrote in an
email to the Verona Press.
Elliot, 5, is especially
excited to have some of his
friends contribute.
They must put a lot of
trust in the people around
their son, Joanne points
out. A particularly stressful
time for them is when they
know he's doing something
active.
I m at wor k know-
ing that hes in the pool
from 9:30 to 10:30, and
I've got my cellphone on
me, because you just dont
know, Joanne said.
But support from Hen-
ry's teachers is a blessing,
like when Joanne recalls
Henry's physical education
teacher acting fast one day
after class to ensure Henry's
blood sugar levels got back
to normal when they were
low.
Of course, Henry's blood
sugar and insulin levels are
something always in his
parents' thoughts, but he's
starting to understand and
acknowledge his body' s
needs, too, through carb
counting and getting the
hang of using an insulin
pump.
He was exposed to some
of these habits while at a
weeklong overnight camp
in Hudson for children with
diabetes to learn, play and
have adult camp leaders
who all share the common
bond of a so-far incurable
disease.
Henry' s understanding
of the disease has come a
long way since he was first
diagnosed. He doesn't mind
going up in front of his
classmates at Sugar Creek
El ement ary School and
explaining why sometimes
he has to prick his finger
with a needle. And class-
mates have been receptive
and caring, but some still
have a lot to learn, Henry
explains, as some of his
peers have asked him if he's
contagious.
No, you cant catch it
from other people, Henry
notes.
But there are times when
he doesn' t always fully
understand it, Joanne said,
like when he only gets a
half-bagel for snack when
others get a whole one.
Alas, he' s still a kid and
doesn' t like that he has
limitations when other kids
his age get to be relatively
carefree.
"He st i l l can get sad
about having diabetes, but
most days are good," said
Joanne.
That's just part of the jour-
ney, Joanne says, and along
the way they hope to help
find a cure for diabetes.
