District considers $4.4 million plan to save $187k per year

In brief

On the web
See a video with Maeve and Mollys dance crew last year performing Heroes.

Ten-year-old Maeve ButzbaughPatricks mom was skeptical, 13-year-old Colton Godfraiuxs mom was relieved, and 9-yearold Molly Bauhs mom knew she didnt get it from her. Despite mixed reactions from their parents, at a young age, Maeve, Molly and Colton compete, practice and have found their footing in competitive hip-hop dance crews.

ConnectVerona.com All three Verona youths started out with little to no dance background, much less hip-hop. After all, hip-hop is a fairly new dance genre, picking up steam in the 1980s, and its often accompanied by stigmas of bad language, sex and violence. At first, its not exactly easy to see where this type of thing fits in with kids. At Move Out Loud dance studio, on Madisons west side, is where all three have been able to learn hip-hop and compete in a positive atmosphere and thats from the toughest judge of all, their parents. Perhaps most skeptical was Butzbaugh, who admits her uneasiness lessened after witnessing her daughters excitement for the sport. But she came around. When a kid is passionate about something, its hard not to fall in love with it with them, she told the Verona Press. Even at a young age, being a competitive dancer for these Verona kids means having practices that average up to five hours a week and can approach 20 hours a week before competitions. So with balancing school, friends, outof-state dance conventions and a handful of competitions on

From energy-efficient lights and water-saving toilets to a new roof for a local middle school, Verona schools are eyeing up to $4.4 million in upgrades that could be paid for with future savings on utility bills. Thats according to a report reviewed Monday by the Verona Area school board, which now has to decide whether to proceed with the work. The school district is looking to take advantage of a 2011 change in state law that allows districts to override spending limits on projects that cut utility costs. Proponents say socalled performance contracting doesnt cost taxpayers, improves the heating and lighting at schools and saves districts money while reducing their carbon footprint. Representatives from Madison-based H and H Energy Management first floated the idea with Verona officials more than a year ago. Last November, the company wrapped up an energy audit of the

A $4.4 million plan to upgrade the districts facilities would have a 20-year payout guaranteed by the company overseeing the work and would not increase property taxes. The borrowing project would require a public hearing. districts nearly 1 million square feet of building space. District officials then whittled a list of potential jobs to roughly $3 million worth of improvements that would generate an estimated $187,000 in utility savings annually. With other state or federal incentives for cutting energy usage thrown in, the annual savings could pay for the work in less than 15 years. In addition, the district could also use the performance contracting mechanism to tackle a $1.2 million roof job at Badger Ridge Middle School and to upgrade heating and cooling units at two other schools.

More than half of the garden will be managed by the Community Action Coalition to grow fresh food for local food pantries. The other 1-2 acres will be used for individual garden plots of about 20 feet by 20 feet, for a total of 96 plots. Of those, more than 40 had been requested early this week. The group plans to put pumpkins on any leftover plots. The Badger Prairie Master Plan adopted in 2009 called for installing community gardens at Badger Prairie County Park. The gardens at Badger Prairie will be the first ever in the county park system and serve as a pilot program. Registration for plots begins May 1, and fees will range from $7.50 to $60, depending on family size and income and whether the plots are collaborative, according to information from the April 9 meeting. At the meeting, county staff said the well is on track for an April 30 completion date and that the parking lot can be poured as soon as the weather allows. The group is still looking for volunteers with specific skills, including grant-writing, preserving, communications, composting and event-planning, as well as labor for work days, maintenance and harvesting. The group is looking into the possibility of incorporating into a 501(c)3 (nonprofit) and considering ways to expand its community connections, such as through the school district, library and food pantry. Next weeks meeting will begin coordination of the group of interested volunteers and making plans for outreach and fund-raising. It begins at 7 p.m. April 23 at the Verona Senior Center.

Verona Area School District

High school graduation rates take slight dip

Legacy rate about average for county, higher than state
Seth Jovaag
Unified Newspaper Group

High school graduation rates dipped slightly last year at Verona Area High School, according to data released last week by the state Department of Public Instruction. Just under 94 percent of VAHS seniors in 2011-12 graduated after four years

of high school. Thats about 1 percent down from last years four-year rate but 1 percent higher than a year earlier. Last years graduation rate reached 94 percent when using the legacy rate, which factors in students who obtain their degrees later, either because they are special-education students or because they finished their work after their senior year ended. Thats down from the 94.8 percent legacy rate the district reported for 201011. The 2010-11 figures

listed on the DPI database are incorrect, local officials said last year, because of errors made by local staff when entering data for some students. Just over 82 percent of VAHS students from low-income homes earned diplomas last year, up from 75.3 percent last year but down from 91.4 percent two years earlier. This years VAHS graduation rate ranks slightly below the middle of the pack compared to 15 Dane County high schools outside of Madison. Eleven

schools had higher legacy rates; three were lower, according to DPI figures. Using the four-year rate, VAHS outpaced six schools and trailed eight. VAHS topped all Madison high schools in both categories. Data for this years graduating class wont be available until next spring. Statewide, the four-year graduation rate rose half a percentage point to 87.5 percent last year, according to a DPI news release. The legacy rate rose was up one-tenth of a percent to 90.6.

What: Epic traffic impact analysis meeting When: 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 23 Where: Verona City Center, 111 Lincoln St. Info: ci.verona.wi.us Depending on the size of the crowd, AECOM might walk through some of the models in a formal presentation. The company will also have representatives on hand to answer questions from residents. The city and AECOM have previously discussed some details of the traffic study as part of neighborhood planning meetings held by Epic earlier this year for its plans to build two more campuses. Epic is planning road improvements and campus

As Verona continues to grow, it will be in need of a larger community park and a few neighborhood parks. A sparsely-attended public meeting last Wednesday drew little public comment but gave a few residents a better idea of where parks might be planned in the future, and what sort of needs the city has in regards to open space. Jim Brickner, a consultant with JSD Professional Services, noted the studys findings that the city is above the national average for parkland areas, but that continued growth would put the city in need of a large community park, as well as several small, planned neighborhood parks. The company is working with the Parks Commission on a new five-year plan. Community parks provide large, open spaces for sports fields and other recreation such as splashpads. These parks are larger than the typical three- or four-acre neighborhood park that has some playground equipment. Brickner said Veronas proximity to areas like Reddan Soccer Park, Badger Prairie County Park and DNR lands near the Sugar River gives residents access to ample parkland. However, since those areas are controlled by other governmental agencies, they dont count as land residents always have access to. For example, the large cyclocross championship at Badger Prairie kept residents from using that area for other recreation. The city has about 7.6 acres of community parkland per 1,000 residents. Thats short of the citys standard of 12 acres per 1,000 people. According to park plan calculations, the city will be short about 55 acres of community parkland by 2017, assuming no new community parks are built. That gap increases even more as population projections increase. Brickner said long-range projections also call for about nine or 10 new neighborhood parks as the city grows.

needs. Parks director Dave Walker said the city is on a cycle to replace park equipment about every 20 years in neighborhood parks. Brickner said the city might have to consider a shorter timetable for replacement, depending on the desires of the neighborhood. One resident at the meeting implored leaders to consider building a splash pad. Middleton has had one for several years, while Fitchburg broke ground on a site last month. Walker agreed the splash pad park would be a good, cost-friendly addition to the city, but in the past, residents have preferred larger aquatic facility. That sentiment showed in a survey used to prepare the 20132017 parks plan. Survey respondents ranked initiate planning for an aquatic center has their No. 1 priority, followed closely by construct a spray park/splash pad. Parks and Open Space Commission members will review the draft and make changes at their upcoming April meeting. Their final plan will be forwarded to the city council in late May or June, Walker previously told the Press. Their recommendations will be considered by the council as part of the citys master plan, as well as for the 2014 municipal budget.

The public is invited to view the draft of a traffic impact analysis study at a public meeting next Tuesday. Early this week, city officials and representatives from AECOM, the firm hired to conduct the study, were still hashing out details about the meeting at 6:30 p.m., Tuesday, April 23, at Verona City Center. City administrator Bill Burns said the company likely will have maps of the area, along with a 3-D video computer modeling of traffic patterns and flow through the area. Both had been presented to the Public Works committee last month.

additions to handle an increase to 8,000 employees about the number that would be in Verona after Campus 4 and 5 are built and the study considers the potential of 11,000. Major improvements recommended in the study include two new signalized intersections on a four-lane replacement for Nine Mound Road, new offramps for all of the companys parking garages, added turn lanes almost everywhere and extra lanes along Northern Lights Road. The city has already taken steps to address some

traffic issues near the companys campus. The city hired AECOM last week to design a second lane on the U.S. Hwy. 18-151 offramp that feeds onto Epic Lane and continues to Northern Lights. A third lane on 18-151 from Epic Lane to Hwy. 69 is included as part of the recommendations in the traffic study. The Common Council is expected to review the traffic impact analysis at its April 22 meeting. Burns said information about the results could be posted to the citys website, ci.verona.wi.us, as early as this week. New Monthly Class 2-Hour Joint Movement Flow Sat., May 4 10:30 a.m.

Libraries have adapted to support Wisconsins communities

Wisconsins public, school, academic, and special libraries have adapted to provide services and resources tailored to a changing world in a challenging economy. Despite tight budgets and increasing demands, our libraries provide new and improved means to access learning and information as well as innovative new services to support local needs. The American Library Association and libraries across the nation are observing National Library Week, April Evers 14-20. The theme this year, Communities Matter at Your Library, rings especially true because libraries of all types support lifelong learning and reinforce the common good, now and into the future. I am proud that libraries throughout the state continue to provide exceptional and innovative services, even under trying economic conditions, facing increasing demands, often with decreasing budgets. The states libraries have provided essential services to support and develop a competitive workforce, with computers, Internet access, digital and traditional literacy training, and other resources to help citizens of all ages learn to find, evaluate, and use information they need for their education, their personal lives, their health and well-being, and their jobs. As our schools incorporate more digital learning, school media specialists are often the go-to people to support and train teachers as well as assist in developing new learning content. And our public libraries increasingly support early learning, so that children entering our schools have a good foundation in language skills and learning concepts. Wisconsins public libraries tailor their services to the communities that establish and operate them. The librarians work with their trustees, elected officials, small business owners, students, and the public at large to discover the needs of their communities and meet them. Whether through new electronic resources and technology classes, materials for English-language learners, programs for job seekers, or support for early literacy, librarians listen to the communities they serve, and they respond. Certainly communities matter at your library. So in honor of National Library Week, I encourage everyone to visit your local library, thank the staff, and let them know that libraries also matter in your community. Tony Evers is the state superintendent of public instruction and a former superintendent of the Verona Area School District.

ith weather like this, its nice to think about spring planting. Badger Prairie Community Garden is moving ahead at full force. This is the first community garden in the Dane County park system, and the county plans to continue to explore expanding options for community gardens on county lands. Please email contact@badgergarden.org or call John Migon at 2177118 if you would like to volunteer, want more information or are interHotchkiss ested in renting a plot. Here are other things happening in the County worth watching. Recognizing April 2013 as Child Abuse and Protection Month (RES. 279) I serve on the Commission on Sensitive Crimes and sponsored this resolution. Child abuse is a community and societal problem that affect great numbers of children in Dane County. The County has dedicated individuals and organizations, including the Coordinated Response Task Force on Child Abuse and Neglect, the Children, Youth and Families Consortium, and the Commission on Sensitive Crimes who work daily to help parents

and the community to achieve optimal outcomes. Acquiring land for county operations (RES. 227) The 2013 county budget anticipated the need for a new highway garage and medical examiners office. A 22-acre purchase located immediately across from the Dane County landfill in the Town of Cottage Grove is suitable for both needs. Locating these County facilities near the landfill will allow the County to take advantage of the green energy generated by the landfill. Purchase of land in the Sugar River Natural Resource Area (RES.226) Last month, Sup. Pat Downing and I submitted a Resolution to purchase approximately 466 acres of land in the Sugar River natural Resource Area from the Bruce Company. The acquisition permanently protects 466 acres with 340 available for public access and includes 2.5 miles of Sugar river frontage. Funds for the purchase are available through the conservation fund and the Lake Preservation and renewal fund. The County intends to promote river access and develop canoe/kayak launches. Providing funds for a housing partnership program (RES. 237) The effort to develop Single Room Occupancy (SRO) housing recognizes a significant need in

Dane County. The focus of this program is to partner with a private group and work together to develop a co-housing facility. This resolution amends the 2013 capital budget to transfer $250,000 from the SRO housing capital project into the new program, which is intended to stimulate the immediate development of affordable cooperative housing options. Limiting trapping permits (Chapter 53, Ord. Amdt. 38 sub 2) This amendment limits the park directors discretion to issue permits for trapping and amends previously designated wildlife areas by prohibiting trapping on those lands unless Stewardship funding requires such activity. This Amendment reduces the amount of County lands opento trapping. New female African lion at the zoo The 2-year-old lion named Shkura came to Madison from the Sedgewick County Zoo in Wichita, Kan. The Lion Species Survival Plan (SSP), which works to preserve a species over generations, sent Shakura to pair with Henry, the older male lion currently at the zoo.

Verona really steps up to help our soldiers

I am writing to you this Monday morning with a full truck and overflowing heart. Thank you neighbors, friends and strangers for the fabulous turnout for the Camo Quilts project for our son, Lt. Will Bishop (VAHS 2007, UW 2011), and his soldiers. Sixty to 70 people showed up for the workshop at Verona Area Community Theater. What a wonderful facility full of memories from our theater days now put to another use. We ran completely out of room. Every socket, every machine, every iron was put to use making the different parts of the quilts. The American Legion came with every sewing machine and iron they could find. Lettie Gauthier, age 5, led the card-making table for six straight hours. The Verona lacrosse team came and helped with the cardmaking and box decorating. The Naxi family came with two huge boxes of fresh warm pastries. Every time we looked up, someone else was coming in to help. Several friends dropped off supplies to ship to Will and his men. I was told there were no baby wipes left in town. A big box with letters and cards is already in the car to the post office. Well, right in the middle of the afternoon, Will skyped his dad thank you for this new way to connect with loved ones. He was not aware of the workshop and was completely surprised by the event. It was wonderful to scan the VACT and show him everyone that was there. I wrote a letter to Verona as we moved to Green Bay to thank you for helping us to raise our family there. Now I am writing to thank you for supporting our family again. There is only one word to describe our feelings for your support for our military unbelievable! Mary K. and Rusty Bishop Green Bay P.S. And yes, we would like to come back next fall and do another workshop as there are 1,000 guys in Afghanistan waiting for these quilts. Please let me know if you are interested in going to Plymouth to make them.

In Praise of Marriage
There is much to say in praise of the institution of marriage. Beyond the purely practical reason that two can live almost as cheaply as one, there is a great benefit in having two parents to help in raising children. The unmarried birth rate in the United States is now over 40%, and most of Americas poor children live in single-parent homes. The prospects for impoverished children who are being raised by a single parent are bleak compared to their wealthier counterparts with two parents. They are more likely to drop out of school, be incarcerated, and to have children while they themselves are still children, all of which perpetuates the cycle of poverty. This is an old story, and it seems hard to tell it without sounding like a fusty old moralizer. But, perhaps there is good reason for old-fashioned morality here. Human beings are born helpless, we usually die helpless, and there are lots of occasions in between where we need help. That is a pretty good reason for getting married, as if being in love and wanting to spend the rest of your life with someone arent reason enough. Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. Ecclesiastes 4:9-10

Veronan self-publishes Tourism show featuring Verona will air Saturday e-book on Amazon
Author picks Kindle over offer from traditional publisher
Amy Smith
Verona Press correspondent

The success of self-published e-books has not been lost on Verona resident Thomas Christopher. After his agent passed on an offer from a traditional publisher, Christopher decided to take matters into his own hands and selfpublish his futuristic thriller novel, Never Too Far, on Amazons Kindle. Christopher said selfpublishing through Amazon gave him more freedom to really get his book out there. A deal with a traditional publisher puts your book out there but without advertising, marketing or publicity, he said. It definitely was a risk to do that, but I w a s w i l l - Christopher ing to take the risk, Christopher said. It paid off though. This was do or die. This could have been the end of the career right here. After rewriting the manuscript several times, Christopher uploaded Never Too Far as a Kindle e-book in June 2012. To publicize it, Christopher made the book available for free for four days. In that time, Never Too Far was downloaded almost 10,000 times. Christopher said by selfpublishing, he has been able to advertise his book across many formats including blogs, online advertisements, Twitter and Facebook. Through a website, ereadernewstoday.com, that provides followers with information about the top free e-books, Christopher was able to advertise his book to a fan base of 120,000 followers.

Verona resident Thomas Christopher self-published his novel, Never Too Far, on Amazon in June 2012.

advertisement on the website received 30-40 clicks a day. Christopher also participates in blog tours, all online, that expose his book all over the Internet and find different readers. Twitter and Facebook have allowed Christopher to meet other self-published authors. Through a community of self-publishers, Christopher and other authors promote each others work. Though a highly competitive industry, Christopher said they are better off if we all join forces together. This fall Christopher reached Amazons top 10 bestseller list for sci-fi adventure novels and has sold nearly 3,000 books. Never Too Far, a gripping story of love and survival, has been compared with The Hunger Games and The Road by Cormac McCarthy. In a future of scarce resources, where the possession of gas and diesel is punishable by death, a teenage boy and a pregnant girl must save their impoverished family. They risk their lives on a terrifying journey to sell stolen fuel on the black market. Inspiration for the book came from McCarthys The Road, and a book his wife gave him called Long Emergency. Christopher

said he has always been interested in stories with a high element of suspense and those two books got him thinking about global warming and life without oil. Christophers love for writing stems back to a creative writing class he took in high school. The positive experience led him to eventually teach literature and composition at Creighton University in Omaha, Neb. As a professor, Christopher spent much of his free time writing. Never Too Far is his third novel, but he said it was the first book worth publishing. After Christophers wife, Jessica, got a job that brought them to Verona in June 2011, Christopher decided to put all of his energy into his writing. Christopher said his wife has always known he wanted to write. Ill make the money, you go follow your dream, Jessica said of his decision to give up teaching to write full time. Christopher is currently working on his second novel, a psychological thriller. He hopes to publish it before Christmas and will continue to publish through Amazon. Besides having success self-publishing, Christophers short stories have appeared in The Louisville Review, The MacGuffin and Redivider. He was awarded an Irving S. Gilmore Emerging Artist Grant and was a finalist for the Matthew Clark Prize in Fiction. When not writing, Christopher enjoys reading, watching movies, gardening and spending time with his wife and their 2-yearold son, Holton. Never Too Far is available on e-book format only through Amazon for $3.99. Plans are in the works to make the book available through Apple and Barnes and Noble this summer.

The 30-minute program by Discover Wisconsin will feature Verona, Baraboo, Janesville and Whitewater as communities that line the curving, 1,100-mile Ice Age Trail between Door County and the Wisconsin-Minnesota border.

Energy: Utility bills exceed $1M a year

Continued from page 1 projects included, the payback on roughly $4.4 million of work would be around 20 years. Verona would need to pay for the work upfront, likely through borrowing. But if utility savings dont match expectations, the company is on the hook to make up the difference, meaning taxpayers wont have to bear the burden, company vice president Josh Kaurich told the board. up-front payments. H and H would oversee the work, and Kaurich said Monday the company has subcontractors lined up to start next month and finish most of the work by fall. Gorrell said the district vetted H and Hs proposal with local experts and came away impressed. School board president Dennis Beres said Tuesday the arrangement could help the district. I think this is a good way for us to get some of this long-term maintenance done and save energy, Beres said. Kaurich added Tuesday that if the 112-year-old company were to go bankrupt or fold, its insurance would still cover its obligations to Verona. Tuesday. Faucets could also be adapted to use less water. Kaurich also estimated that a couple of thousand light fixtures could use high-efficiency LED bulbs, cutting wattage by an average of 65 percent. Motionactivated lights or sensors that dim lights when daylight increases could also be installed. Two big-ticket items include replacing old cooling units at Country View Elementary School and Savanna Oaks Middle School with new models that do most of their work overnight, rather than cranking up during peak hours, which can drive up electricity rates. Another project would capture and recirculate heat given off by the VAHS Natatorium. Windows and walls throughout the district would also be better sealed to reduce leaks, said building and grounds director Ken Kietzke. In other news Monday, the board administered the oath of office to board members Amy Almond and Ken Behnke, who were re-elected to new threeyear terms on April 2.

Steps remain

As of Tuesday, it remained unclear whether the work will get underway soon. By state law, the board would need to pass a resolution authorizing the amount it would borrow, then hold a public hearing and allow district residents up to 30 days to petition against the project. The board took no action Monday, and superintendent Dean Gorrell said Tuesday that officials this week will delve into the details of how to finance the projects through borrowing or possibly some

Ways to save

Veronas annual utility bills currently exceed $1 million. H and H estimates the district could knock 18 percent off those costs. More than 120 toilets could be replaced or retrofitted into low-flow models that use about 1.6 gallons per flush, about half of what they do currently, Kaurich said

A. No, It is not! If Dr. Oz had consulted the overwhelming majority of scientic evidence, he would have spoken differently. Silver amalgam llings are estimated to be present in the mouths of 100 million people. They are durable, inexpensive, long lasting and safe. In a March 28th Dr. Oz Show episode titled Are your silver llings making you sick?, Dr. Oz and a guest dentist blamed silver amalgam llings for being toxic and for causing neurological symptoms, fatigue, headaches and autoimmune disorders. He makes sensational statements without strong scientic evidence to support the accusations. Multiple health and safety organizations including the American Dental Association, the CDC, the FDA, the Mayo Clinic, the MS Society, the Autism Society and the EPA all support that there is little scientic evidence to show that the health of people is compromised from Silver amalgam teeth llings. Silver amalgam is one of several safe and effective choices available to dental patients. Over the last several years, technology has developed alternative materials, such as composite resin (white llings), that many dentists consider to be better for a variety of reasons. Every lling option has pros and cons so talk to your dentist. If you have further questions contact our ofce for an appointment or ask your dentist.

bruising becomes more common with the mildest bump or blow. Our capillaries age and become more fragile and prone to rupture. Our skin also becomes thinner, losing the protective fatty layer that helps to cushion blood vessels against injury. Frequent bruising usually starts to show after age 55, but long-time sun worshippers may see changes earlier. The problem may be compounded if you smoke. Certain dietary supplements such as sh oil and ginkgo, as well as some medications used to treat Stephen Rudolph allergies, asthma and eczema can also cause easier bruising. To reduce bumps and falls, FACHE, CSA de-clutter the house. Dress your elder in long-sleeved shirts and pants to add an extra layer of protection. Limit sun exposure and use sunscreen outdoors. There isnt much that can be done to treat a bruise once it has formed. Most bruises disappear within a week. Remember, though, that easy bruising can be an indication of a more serious condition such as a blood disease or a clotting problem.

Q. Im starting my own business. Should I set up an LLC? A. As the economy nally picks up steam, it might be a good time to start that new business you always dreamed about. From a tax standpoint, your choice of entity (LLC, Corporation or Sole Proprietorship) is a key issue. Setting up an LLC gives you not only liability protection, but a good deal of tax exibility. If your business has losses on the front-end, you can deduct those losses, reducing your tax bite from other income. If your business is protable going forward, you can elect to have your LLC taxed as an S Corporation, and save ongoing taxes especially employment taxes by structuring your compensation to take advantage of S Corporation rules. There are plenty of tax pitfalls to navigate when setting up a new business. We have extensive experience helping small businesses maximize their tax savings, so if youre starting up a business, give us a call.

short answer is no, as long as your existing air conditioner is functioning. However the limits on R-22 production have significantly increased its cost. So if you have a system that needs to regularly get recharged, you should consider replacing it.

have a referral for Physical Therapy for hip and leg pain with a diagnosis of piriformis syndrome. What is this?

Q. As part of my running workouts, I have been doing more interval training and
have developed pain in the top part of my hamstring. I have been stretching it but it does not seem to be getting any better. How would you recommend treating it?

CHIROPRACTOR

Susan Armstrong, MPT Physical Therapist

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

It sounds like you may have strained the biceps femoris tendon or more simply, the upper hamstring attachment. This is a common injury for runners doing speed work or stride work. You can continue to stretch the hamstrings, but you should only Lee Unwin, do so to the point that you feel the stretch in the middle of the muscle, not at the upper CMT, CSCS attachment point. Stretching too far only re-aggravates injury. Also, get a sport specic massage to treat the injury. Treatment should consist of a technique called cross ber friction followed by icing of the area. This treatment only takes 15 minutes 1-2 times per week for approximately 4 weeks. It is a very effective and economical treatment that promotes proper healing. Lastly, watch your form. You should be working to strike the ground mid-foot and not with a heavy heel strike. Striding too far out and landing on the heel will also re-aggravate this type of injury.

Such coverages include business interruption insurance, property insurance, liability insurance, commercial auto insurance, crime insurance, etc. Based on your companys specific needs, you can alter what is included in a BOP. Typically, a business owner will save money by choosing a BOP because the bundle of coverage often costs less than the total cost of all the individual policies on their own.

Errors lead to tough loss

After nearly three weeks of postponements, the Verona Area High School baseball team expected a little rust Tuesday against Janesville Parker at Riverside Park. But Verona head coach Brad DOrazio didnt expect five errors and 12 unearned runs in a 14-10 loss. The Wildcats allowed seven unearned runs in the second and five unearned runs in the fourth. Still, one positive was the offense, which piled on 10 runs in its first game. I think we swung the bat better than we anticipated, DOrazio said. We have only been outside a couple of times but to have five errors and give up 12 unearned runs was definitely disappointing. The second inning featured two errors, a hit batter and a walk to erase a 4-2 Wildcat lead. Verona cut the deficit to 9-7 in the top of the fifth with sacrifice flys by senior Derek Witte and junior Mitch Flora and an RBI single by senior Sam Sharer. But Janesville came back with five unearned runs after two more Wildcat errors in the bottom of the inning. Verona scored three more in the sixth with RBIs to Witte and senior Trevor Kermicle, but it wasnt enough. The Wildcats opened the game with three in the first, including a two-run single by Witte and added another in the second on an RBI single by junior Jake Armstrong. Witte picked up the loss allowing eight runs, only two earned, on two hits. He walked four. Sharer (2-for-4), Kermicle (2-for-4) and freshman Ben Rortvedt (2-for-3) were the leading hitters. Verona hosts Madison East at 5 p.m. Thursday and travels to Madison West at 5 p.m. Tuesday.

The cancellation of Saturdays boys tennis tournament at Manitowoc Lincoln left the Verona boys tennis team scrambling for a replacement tournament. Fortunately, the Wildcats were able to get into the flighted West De Pere tournament at the Green Bay tennis Center, which also gave Verona senior No. 1 singles player Andrew Argall, a three-time state qualifier, a preview of this years state tournament. He went 1-1 on the day, including a 6-3, 6-2 loss to West De Peres Nick Dykema. Dykema was ranked sixth at last years individual state tournament. Senior Brian Davenport nearly faced the same level of competition at No. 2 singles and was also 1-1 on the day, including a 6-1, 6-0 loss to Dykemas younger brother Jack. Jack Dykema was an individual state qualifier as a freshman last year. Junior Philip Rudnitsky and freshman Alex Pletta won matches against West De Pere and Oshkosh West to finish 2-0 at No. 3 and 4 singles, respectively. Senior Alex Hadjiev and sophomore Austin Gerdes added an undefeated tournament at No, 2 doubles, taking matches against West De Pere and then De Pere, 7-5, 6-2, after being down 2-5 in the first set. Sophomore Nolan Fink and senior Elliot Schad, as well as Matt Blessing and Tanner Breisch, ended up going 1-1.

Senior Emma Ray doubled off the wall to drive in a run and struck out eight Tuesday as the Verona softball team opened its season with a 5-0 drumming of Big Eight Conference rival Madison La Follette. Scoreless through two-and-a-half innings, the Wildcats posted four unearned runs in the third inning. Claudia Keplers single was the only other hit of the game for Verona. Its kind of unbelievable, said Verona head coach Todd Anderson, who watched his team strike out 13 times and only collected two hits off Lancers ace Nichole Newman. Newman was already good, but shes improved. Shes going to give everyone fits this year. Ray nearly drove a one-out Nicole Newman offering over the wall in the fourth inning, but settled for an RBI double to

score Leslie Banzhaf, who had walked earlier in the inning. It was the Wildcats lone earned run. Tuesday was the first game for each team. Not being able to get out on a field for practice but once or twice this spring ... I think that was a direct result of what you saw tonight, Anderson said. The Wildcats got in trouble in the second as La Follette loaded the bases off an error and two walks. Ray worked out of the inning with a strike out, though. The Lancers, who threatened again in the third, left two of their nine runners on base in the inning as Ray struck out one and induced a pair of pop outs to herself.

Track and field

Verona boys and girls track was finally happy to get outdoors Tuesday, traveling to Janesvilles Monterey Stadium for a Big Eight Conference dual against Janesville Parker. Senior Matt Dietlin won three individual events and helped a Wildcats sprint relay race to a 94.5-51.5 win over the host Vikings. Dietlin led a sweep of the top three spots in the pole vault with a clearance of 12-6. He went on to lead a 1-2 Verona finish in the high jump, clearing 6 feet. Far from done, he added the long jump (19-4 1/2) and the 4x100 relay (:45.7), joining Cameron Parks, Josh Beckam and Cameron Tindall.

Parks, Beckam and Tindall had been joined earlier in the meet by Jacob Fauble to take the 4x200 relay in 1:37.1. Veronas sprinters added a 1-2 finish in the 200-meter dash led by Tindalls :23.8. Steven Hartnett (:16.2) led another Verona sweep in the 110-high hurdles, while Alan Brown led a 1-2 finish in the 300s (:43.8). Matt Zingler won the triple jump with a leap of 39-3. Alex Anderson took the 800, leading a 1-2 finish in 2:04.1, while Sean Happel covered the two-mile course in 10:13.2. Anderson, Peter Scott, Erik Wickstrom and Andrew Husbands went on to take the 4x800 relay in 8:56.5. Parker is a young team

going through a rebuilding year, but it was good for us to have a strong meet out of the gate against a program with a strong tradition within the conference, Verona head coach Joff Pedretti said. Everyone was very enthusiastic and we had a lot of personal bests. Both the boys and girls return to action at 4:30 p.m. next Tuesday when the Wildcats host Madison West at the newly-renovated Curtis Jones Stadium.

Girls

Sophomore Shannon Kerrigan, freshman Cheyenne Trilling and junior Jenni LaCroix helped Verona take every running event from the 100 to 800 Tuesday as the Wildcats posted a 79.566.5 win against Parker.

Kerrigan (:13.1) and Trilling (:27.9) took the 100 and 200, while LaCroix secured the 400 (1:00.9) and 800 (2:30.9). Senior hurdler Katy Miller took the 100-high and 300-meter low hurdles Junior Nicole Zimbrick cleared 8-6 to win the pole vault, while senior Jordan Bartholf added the shot put with a heave of 35-2. Verona head coach Mark Happel said it was the first time competing for nearly 75 percent of his team. With the limited training weve been able to do indoors ... I was really pleased with what we were able to do, he said. The ladies travel back to Monterey Stadium at 4:30 p.m. Friday for the Janesville Invite.

Weather forced few outside practices for the Verona Area High School girls soccer team this season, and the inexperience on the grass and bigger field showed in the first game of the season at Janesville Craig Tuesday, head coach Jennifer Faulkner said. Craigs Kate Heap scored on a penalty kick after an elbowing call inside the penalty box in the 65th minute to lead the Cougars to a 2-1 win. It was a close game, and the first game of the season is always a barometer for how things are going to go during the year, Faulkner said. We are a young team, and we

need some time to gel and improve. Sophomore forward Felicia Retrum scored in the 75th minute, but it was too late. Craigs Samantha Champion scored first in the 28th minute. Veronas games Thursday against Sun Prairie and Friday at Hartland Arrowhead were postponed. Verona hosts Madison La Follette at 5 p.m. Thursday and travels to the Middleton Soccer Complex Friday and Saturday for the Middleton tournament. Games begin at 9 a.m. both days.

Hip Hop: Verona kids find excitement, motiation performing in an emerging dance genre
Continued from page 1 on weekends March through June, these dancers have a full schedule. But mention one word about dance to them, and its clear they wouldnt have it any other way. Hed be in the basement trying to spin on his head with cushions, Colleen said. I was afraid he was going to break his neck. To his moms relief, he now practices those tricks in safer areas, but the family has also had to work through Colton being diagnosed with juvenile diabetes almost a year ago. Thats caused some adjustments, Colleen said, but it was important for her and husband Stan to ensure Colton could keep dancing. And he has, attests Sutton. Its not something that scared him away, she said, adding hes more aware of his blood-sugar level and takes more frequent breaks now. While working on conquering diabetes and his dance moves, Colton has no worries about the stigmas attached to boys in dance, and neither do the other males in his dance crew. He was never one to be a joiner, Colleen said, so its been a joy for her to watch her son exude confidence on stage. But he wasnt always comfortable doing this. Growing up, Colton influenced Maeves interests in dancing, making up routines and having dance studio at home, so finally her family made a makeshift one with mirrors and wooden flooring. When shes home, thats where she spends her time, Butzbaugh said. As her parents looked to start classes, they had trouble finding a studio for just hip-hop dance, Butzbaugh said. Maeve didnt want to learn classical types of dance, and the studios they looked at offered hip-hop as secondary to more formal dance programs like ballet or jazz. Move Out Loud appealed to Maeve because it lets kids start with hip-hop. In fact, hip-hop is the studios most popular class, with about three-fourths of kids enrolled, Sutton said. The moves are much less rigid than many other genres, such as ballet are much less rigid, and theyre lower to the ground and more aggressive. Sutton said Maeves diva showmanship on the dance floor fits right in with the hiphop style. But dont think shes all about fitting in. I can do my own style, Maeve assures. Maeves personality is preceded only by her wild style. On a given day, you might see her with leopard-print pants and an unconventional haircut she dreamed up herself one side short and one side long. Some kids at school thought it was weird, but she said shes used to standing out. After all, some think her hip-hop dancing is weird, too. I think its cool, and thats really all that matters, she said. An independent attitude is what her mother wants to foster through Maeves dancing, and she said she appreciates Sutton as an inspiration to her female students that its OK to be a strong, fierce woman, Butzbaugh said. Mollys mom, Julie Bauhs, who said Molly has grown in her stage confidence. As a third-grader at Glacier Edge Elementary School, Molly is one of the youngest competitors at Move Out Loud. Shes also doubled her commitment to dance, doing hip-hop and jazz competitions, Julie said, and practices on average eight hours a week. She started dancing before she was 1, but Julie jokes thats no thanks to her parents. She was adopted when she was a baby, Julie said. And were terrible dancers, so she obviously has this in her. In her fourth year of dancing, Mollys ability often goes beyond her years. She received a $250 dance scholarship from one of the dance conventions and was picked to showcase a dance out of a group of hundreds of kids, most of them older than her. That was a defining moment for Molly, Sutton says. Molly is amazing because she has a very shy, sweet personality, between she dances shes this extreme fireball, Sutton said. Shes electric she moves people. Hip-hops appeal has continued to climb through a greater presence in media such as YouTube, reality television shows like Americas Next Best Dance Crew and even the dance movies such as Step Up. Sutton says part of what draws the younger generation to hip-hop dancing is because they can relate to the music but that doesnt mean she wont edit or cut parts of songs to make them appropriate for kids. The dance form hasnt just taken hold for youth. After seeing their kids thrive with it, parents want to see what hip-hop is all about, too. Theres an adult hip-hop class at Move Out Loud this summer, but also a workshop for adults coming up on April 27. Parents see their kids having so much fun, Sutton said. They want to try it, too.

Colton

Colton, whose roots are in karate, began as a selftaught dancer a few years ago and got his black belt last year. That background helps him do tricks like flipping upside-down that other dancers dont have the strength Sutton for yet, said Stephanie Sutton, lead choreographer and owner of Move Out Loud, which has about 250 kids enrolled. What he can do is astonishing, Sutton said. Before the Savanna Oaks Middle School seventhgrader had a formal outlet for dance, hed look up YouTube videos of dance moves and would practice in his basement. It was an often-worrisome endeavor for his parents.

battles at home. Maeve later returned the favor after she helped recruit Colton who was shy to perform in front of others to try classes at Move Out Loud. Maeves been there three years and Colton for about two years.

Maeve

Maeve found dance around age 7. She tried other sports like soccer and swimming, but they just didnt match up, she said. Maeve, a New Century School fourth-grader, dreamed of having a dance

Verona History
January
40 years ago The Village combined the elected part-time clerk and treasurer positions into a full-time appointed position and established a full-time combined coordinator and assessor position. The setup at the time was a part-time elected clerk who estimated he was getting paid about 50 cents an hour and a full-time combined position of elected treasurer and appointed assessor. Proponents said it would help the city run more efficiently. A few years later, the village (which became a city in 1978) turned that coordinator position into an administrator. The Village Board unanimously denied an effort to bring a 35-unit elderly and low-income housing complex through a county program. Trustees said the village already had enough low-income housing and should not allow the county to take control of property in the village. The Town Board denied a permit by Madison Gas and Electric to build power lines along Woods, Midtown, Nine Mound and Cross Country roads. Several town residents had objected at a public hearing, saying suggested it should be built along County Highway PD, and the Village Board also recommended a denial. MG&E said the PD idea would not work because of higher costs and interruptions in service. The Verona Fire District debated whether to build its own fire station or have the village buy it and lease it to the district. The district ended up building one a few years later. 30 years ago Construction began on a self-help housing project on Lucille Street between Todd Street and Nine Mound Road. The 12 federally financed homes, built by the South Central Housing Corporation, were designated for low-tomoderate-income families, requiring a time investment of 1,200 hours of labor as a substitute for a down payment. Several other new homes were being built in the new Cross Country Heights subdivision, which would become a Parade of Homes site later in the year. The city welcomed new building inspector Henry Mikula by compiling a list of the three years worth of backlogged inspections that needed to be done. Some on the council wanted to punish the outgoing inspector for not completing the inspections, but he noted that the state law required people with new homes to contact him to request inspections and said most didnt. Ald. Joe Wineke lost by a 5-2 vote an attempt to restrict the use of City Hall for a candidate forum. He had argued that public buildings should not be used for political events. Several parents pushed the school board to do more to build a solid wrestling program. With a part-time coaching position unfilled for three years running, they argued that having students teach the sport wasnt enough to establish continuity. District and school officials noted that there were more than 900 coaching vacancies statewide because of the difficulty of finding the right teacher-coach combination. School district staff reported that the schools had a total of 18 Apple II computers and had been holding workshops to teach students and teachers how to use them. Still to be determined was what grade to begin teaching keyboarding. The girls basketball team defeated DeForest for its first victory of the season after a nine-game losing streak. They would end up winning three home games in a row. 20 years ago A funeral was held for Alexander D. Miller, who served the Bank of Verona for 67 years before his death at 92 after a long illness. The one-time village president was the son of bank founder Alex G. Miller, and at one point during the Great Depression, he had to drive to Milwaukee to borrow money to keep the bank afloat. The bank ended up surviving for 23 more years before being sold to State Bank of Cross Plains. A group of Cross Country Estates homeowners gathered support and raised money to pay legal fees in an attempt to stop Wingra Stone from adding 40 acres to their mine along on Nine Mound Road. The lawsuit had gone in Wingras favor and was heading to the state Supreme Court, and legal bills at that point were over $18,000, plus another $3,000 expected to move the case to the next level. Wingra eventually prevailed at the Supreme Court, which ruled that it was not affected by a mining ordinance that was passed after the mine began operation. Physicians Plus opened a 5,000-square-foot clinic at 118 W. Verona Ave. with a single family-practice doctor, Robert Cape. As a result of a growing number of developer proposals, the Plan Commission recommended a new ordinance that would require developers to submit more detailed information with their applications, including landscaping and grading plans for certain types of complex subdivisions. Linda Stemper left the school board to give more time to her job and family. Verona High School officials produced a report with recommendations for dealing with a recent spate of incidents of racial conflict, including hate graffiti and physical confrontations. The initiatives included ongoing training for teachers, workshops for students, extracurricular clubs, more multiculturalism in the curriculum and recruiting minority teachers. The city and town continued to discuss the possibility of a merger to block Madisons expansion, but officials were not optimistic it would get very far. Police officer and former chief Herman Daniels retired after 33 years on the force. More than 150 people attended his retirement party at the Kamm Bowl. Local skater and future Olympian Casey FitzRandolph, 17, claimed the final spot on the U.S. Junior World Long Track Speedskating team that was set to travel Europe. Verona High School junior Marshall Burkes won the American Legions county oratorical contest. Jim Ferolie 10 years ago The Verona Area school board acknowledged problems with its fund balance, which had fallen to 4 percent of the total general fund. The average school district in Wisconsin averaged a cash reserve of about 15 percent. The board cited getting less state and federal aid as a cause. It decided to shell out $45,000 for a functional analysis of the school districts finances and operations. The Common Council decided to wait another year to build the four much-discussed baseball diamonds on the southeast side of the city. The Councils reason for pushing the decision back was a tight budget and uncertainty as to whether the state would chip in for the $750,000 project. The Little League complex opened at what is now known as Ceniti Park in May 2006. The Common Council discussed construction of on and off ramps from West Verona Avenue onto Highway 18/151. Reconstructing Railroad Street and installing new water run-off infrastructure on South Franklin Street were also topics of discussion. The Verona Area High School parking lot and the nearby on-street parking areas had a series of daytime auto break-ins. Most of the stolen items were valuable electronics, like CDs and car stereos. Town chair incumbent Don Beauchamp announced that he would not run again for the position. The City and Town of Verona continued discussions on new boundaries, each reviewing the plans the other drew up. Rob Kitson
