Huge hotel gets key approval

Hyatt Place/House among
3 Liberty Park projects
that get commissions OK
Jim Ferolie
Verona Press editor
With a franchise already awarded and the biggest city approval

out of the way, a 231-room hotel
on the southeast side of the city is
getting closer to reality.
The 193,000-square-foot, fourstory complex in Liberty Business
Park would be the biggest nonEpic building in Verona by far.
The fact that it would also be the
tallest, at 66 feet, is one reason
it still needs approval from the
Common Council next week.
But the imposing size of
the edifice didnt bother Plan
Commission members, who were

impressed Monday by the architecture and relatively compact
design of the combined Hyatt
Place and Hyatt House.
Hyatt House is a 2-year-old
brand of extended-stay hotels
that, according to the companys
development website, caters primarily to mid- to upper-income
transient and interim travelers
looking to live like they were in
a home. Hyatt Place focuses on
casual 24/7 service in a smartly designed, high-tech and modern environment.
After getting site plan approval
and recommendations on the permit and another procedural matter, developer representative Mike
Green told the Verona Press the
project was very real and could
start anytime in the next three to
nine months, with winter as an
obvious wedge between the two

dates.
Green said Hyatt has already
awarded the franchise to landowner David Reinke, though its not
yet clear who or what company
would run the hotel. Construction
also depends on Hyatts approval
of the design, though architect
Jerry Bourquin of Dimension IV
had indicated in a previous meeting that the design was essentially
a prototype.
Bourquin made several modifications to the configuration
between that June Plan Commission meeting and the July meeting
to produce more parking on the
same space. Among them were
going from three floors to four
and reducing the angle between
the two wings.
Green and KSW Construction president Dean Slaby, who
has recently led development of

Liberty Park, told the Press they
are aware of two other examples
of combined Hyatt Place-Hyatt
House hotels, something they
called a relatively new concept.
In this case, they would share a
large fitness center, pool, courtyard and restaurant but have separate service areas.
The hotel would be one of the
biggest in the Madison area
about halfway between the Monona Terrace Hilton and the Marriott West. Any hotel that size of
course is likely to inspire spinoff
development, and the entire area
south and west of the building is
zoned for retail.
Already Liberty Park developers are planning on at least one
retail building to the southeast,
something that actually inspired

DNR offers timber

advice after tornadoes
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources
is cautioning large landowners who sustained a large
amount of downed timber in the recent tornadoes
and wind that have come
through the area.
A news release from
the DNRs South Central
Region said landowners
should contact a DNR forester or private consulting
forester before accepting or
signing an agreement with
a contractor to clean up
downed timber.
The most affected areas
are likely in more rural Iowa
and Grant counties, but Bob
Manwell of DNR communications said the same principles apply in Dane County if
a resident has a lot of timber
down on their land.

Sometimes when theres
a natural disaster or an event
like this, sometimes some
shady people show up at
your door, Manwell said.
Downed timber can often
have a marketable value
that should be factored into
salvaging operations, the
release said.
Manwell said its especially relevant to high-value
walnut trees in Iowa County.
Manwell cautioned that
this is not for one or two
trees in a yard, but multiple
acres of land with more
trees down.
To contact the South Central DNR, call 275-3266 or
go to dnr.wi.gov.

Hotel: More development planned for business park

Continued from page 1
more discussion Monday

night than the 15 minutes
they spent talking about
the hotel.
Mixed use project

That mixed-use project would feature a restaurant with a pick-up
window (but not a remote
ordering station) and a
karate/yoga studio and
offices above. It required a
public hearing for a zoning
change to have retail in
an area previously planned
for office/industrial space
and will later need a
conditional use permit for
the restaurant.
Developers have
explained that the hard
corner at Liberty Drive
and County Hwy. M is
ideal for a restaurant but
that the rest of the project
makes more sense to be
away from the other retail
areas to the west because
the potential tenant seeks a
quieter location.
Like the hotel, which

commissioners called
attractive and great
looking, the commission,
the mayor and planning
director Adam Sayre were
all happy with the Italianstyle architecture of the
mixed use building, which
Sayre called quite honestly phenomenal.
The design was so striking, in fact, that Sayre
thought it was a shame to
have it so far back from
the two roads.
Most of the commissions discussion revolved
around ways to move it
south and west, and after
the commission produced
a complex motion that
approved it contingent
on Sayres OK, Green,
Bourquin, Slaby and an
engineer huddled outside
City Center trying to figure out the best configuration. That was alright with
them, they had indicated,
as long as they got the
zoning change approved
right away.
Sayre noted that a merger

with fellow Verona company Minitube of America
complicated matters.
The Fairfield Inn
project on West Verona
Avenue and South Nine
Mound Road is making progress after a delay
related to the land deal
with the state that was
approved last month by
the city. Sayre said developer Lee Fischl told him
closing was set for this
week and that it would
start within the month.
The VeloCity bicyclethemed apartment-restaurant project on Paoli Street
and South Nine Mound
likely will be back for an
adjustment. Sayre said the
restaurant hasnt panned
out because of low traffic
counts but another commercial user is working
on a lease and existing
structures are being taken
down.
Flex building
The next ground-breaking in Liberty Park, however, is likely to be the
twin flex buildings a
mix of low-traffic retail
and office/warehouse
that were also approved
earlier in the evening.
The approval was contingent on the councils
approval of a group development, basically a formality.
Slaby said most of the
potential tenants have
already agreed in principle
to move in and the building is ready to go.
Updates
Sayre provided updates,
at commissioners individual requests, on a few previously approved projects:
The AgSource move to
the east, which also would
have come with a restaurant, has been scrapped.

Compost decision bad for organic gardeners

After moving to Verona this
last May, we began working in
our new garden at Badger Prairie
Community Garden on the east
end of town.
Another organic gardener told
me of the local compost yard
nearby, which is on the same road
as the Dane County medical center.
Inside the yard were huge
mountains of turned compost. I
was not aware that this system
began years ago. The skills and
efficiency of this team of county
employees work like an army of
ants with the large land moving
machines, creating the rich soil.
Unfortunately, the Dane County
made a decision to close both the
Waunakee and Verona yards permanently.
Why? Call county executive Joe
Parisi and see what answer you
get.
The Verona yard has enough
refined compost to last two years.
The county also decided to give
away the soil this last month.
Everyone I talked to at the yard
who came for their free soil would
be happy to pay for it in the future.
Why did Madison decide to
take their yard wastes elsewhere?
Because the county board wanted

to raise their fees.
All of this could have been
avoided if the county would ask
the landscaping companies &
gardening citizens to pay a little
more for the rich compost. As
it stands with the printing of this
article, we are now without any
natural (chemical free) resources
for our gardens and landscape.
More employees are out of work,
and we sit here with two years
of a sellable resource, from the
backlog of turned compost and
its going to waste. We are losing faith in this County Board.
Enough is enough!
There will be a snowball affect
of problems in the future as a
result of the closing of these
yards. An old line is needed here:
Dont throw the baby out with
the bath water. Theses are our
babies! Leave them out of your
budget Mr. Parisi.
I urge all concerned to call Parisi at 266-4114 or e-mail parisi@
countyofdane.com and ask him to
overturn these closings.
Thanks to all who make the call
or email with their concerns.

Oregon Observer Stoughton Courier Hub
Inspiration had a hand

in moving to Japan
F
our years.
Thats how long Ive
spent deeply caring about
the four communities Unified
Newspaper Group serves.
Last week marked the end of
my job as page designer and
community reporter at UNG.
Like any relationship, while
weve had our ups and downs,
its hard to say
goodbye. But
unlike most
relationships,
Im letting
go of not one
connection,
but rather hundreds of them
through all
Vlisides
of the inspiring people Ive
interviewed and worked closely
with throughout the years.
Getting to know the people in
Verona, Stoughton, Fitchburg,
Oregon and their surrounding
communities are truly what have
made this job memorable and
enjoyable. Of course, Im also
going to miss the incredibly
hard-working, close-knit and
often quirky and fun group of
co-workers at UNG.
But before I talk about my
new life path, theres something
Ive found to be an intensely
narrow experience reporters go
through that I want to point out.
Its the opportunity to, within
minutes of meeting someone,
ask them to tell you about the
most intimate details of their
life. Some of the time, people
are sharing accounts they may
never have had the opportunity
to tell anyone before, and its
not an experience Ive taken
lightly.
We Midwesterners grow up
with this inherent sense of crippling modesty, and through this
job Ive often had to convince
people their story is worth telling. Ive learned that sharing
doesnt have to be bragging.
And each time an individual
chooses to share what are often

deeply sensitive accounts, they
inspire someone else who may
be going through the same thing,
letting them know that its OK
to be open. I want to say thank
you to those who have had the
courage to share both triumphs
and struggles.
Being a journalist has continually pushed me outside of my
comfort zone. Ive interviewed
cancer patients, people whose
families have lived through horrific child abuse cases and even
one woman who was dying.
There have been times the
experience was so visceral, Ive
left interviews and sat in my car
and just cried. But the beautiful thing about journalism is
it always keeps you guessing
whats next, and there have certainly been tears of joy that have
come out of this job, too.
Ive spent years attempting to
tell other peoples stories that I
hope have, in some small way,
humanized issues not many of
us have personally experienced.
I cant shake the idea that community journalists do something
I consider one of the most sacred
honors connecting people.
I think community newspapers remain a relevant form of
news in such an unstable time
for media because they remind
us that we do share a connection
with the strangers we may see
every day. And through these
stories, we find out who the
heck these people are who help
us pump our gas, or serve us our
food or even figure out whats
up with that weird guy who has
the 50 lawn gnomes in his front
yard.
The more we learn about one
another, we realize not how different we are, but how we are
unified through similar struggles
and strengths. Its too easy to
say, That could never be me.
There are always a million
reasons not to do something. But
I have gotten to invite people
to start thinking, Why not me?

If this person can start their
own nonprofit, or can travel the
world, why cant I?
These stories, though they
might not always be the most
hard-hitting of news, spark communication and empathy in a
country where individualism is
so celebrated, yet we are conditioned to feel that as just an
individual, we cant really make
a difference.
Whats been concretely illustrated to me over and over is
that I that we can make a
difference by simply changing
ourselves. And that is why Ive
left a career I so enjoy: to make
a change that three or four years
ago, I never believed for a second I could.
I am moving to Japan to
become an assistant English
teacher at a high school.
Most people tell me thats crazy; and three years ago, I would
have agreed. But now, after
meeting all of these inspiring
and seemingly regular people
people like me who have lived
in Wisconsin all their lives,
whose parents are good, hardworking Midwesterners that
has lit a fire and helped inspire
me to move on to my next life
goal.
And although I will be temporarily leaving so many wonderful and supportive friends and
family and an amazing boyfriend, I cant help but think that
the only thing crazier than moving halfway around the world is
letting the fear of the unknown
stop me from doing something I
want to do.

County reaches deal with employees
VASD students wear caps to cure cancer

Badger Ridge and Core
Knowledge Charter middle
school students spent a day
wearing hats and hoodies
around school as part of a
cancer fundraiser.
On April 17, students were
allowed to wear their hats
and hoods for the day for a
$1 donation that went toward
finding a cure for childhood
cancer.
The Cap for the Cure
fundraiser, organized the student council and promoted
through posters and the song
Happy by Pharrell Williams, raised $445, student
council adviser Suzanne
Hartjes said in an email.
The happiness and support for the day by students
and staff was overwhelming, Hartjes wrote in a letter

to the UW Childrens Hospital.
The cause was bolstered
by former student council
member and current ninthgrader Santi Garridos cancer treatment, which has
been covered in the Press
previously.
VASD
District projects
to see increase
in state aid
The state Department of
Public Instruction released
preliminary general state
aid projections July 1, and
it brought more good budget news for the Verona
Area School District.
When VASD planned
in its own budget, it projected $25.4 million in general state aid, up from last
years $23.9 million.
The state projections
released July 1 are even
friendlier, with a preliminary $25.7 million in general aid.
That would amount to a
nearly $6 million increase
from the 2011-12 school
year, illustrating the districts rapid growth and the
financial boon provided by
including 4-year-old kindergarten students in the
student population.
VASD is among 53 percent of districts statewide
that are expected to receive
more aid than in 2013-14,
while the other 47 percent
can expect a decrease.
Official state aid numbers will be finalized Oct.
15 after final population
counts in September.

6:26 p.m. A 19-year-old
woman was cited for two
counts of disorderly conduct after starting a fight
with her mother over not
being able to find a missing car key. The mother
had locked herself in her
room with her son after the
daughter yelled at her using
profane language and threw
items at her and around the

father arrived, he removed
her from the house after she

Dane County has

reached a collective bargaining agreement with its
largest employees union
through 2016 after the
County Board approved
the deal earlier this month.
According to a press
release from Dane County
Executive Joe Parisi, the
agreement will include
a focus on workplace
diversity, a modest wage
increase for workers
and will help control the
countys long-term health
insurance premium costs.
Dane Countys
employees work hard to
deliver critical services
to our residents every day
from keeping our communities safe to taking
care of the most vulnerable among us, he said.
We are proud to partner
with them once again and
provide an example of
how collective bargaining
works in Dane County.
Parisi said hes worked
with the countys union
workforce to find nearly $4 million in savings
in the past three years
through voluntary leave,
wage reductions and furlough days to assist with
budget challenges and
help protect funding for
the vital services county
government provides.
Shannon Maier, president of the joint council of
AFSCME locals 705 and
720, said the agreement
shows the wisdom of
working together and honors Dane County values.
The vast majority of
Dane County citizens support collective bargaining
and quality public services, Maier said.
County board chairperson Sharon Corrigan said

the agreement improves
wages and respects workers.
We have a long tradition of respect for workers in Dane County, and
Im pleased to continue
that tradition, she said.
Our employees are hardworking, dedicated public
servants who have earned
that respect, not to mention a bit of a raise. I thank
Dane County Executive
Joe Parisi, his team, and
AFSCME locals 705 and
720 for negotiating in a
spirit of good faith and
cooperation, and bringing
us a contract were proud
to approve.
Whatever anyone
believes at the state level,
we can do great things
when we work together,
Corrigan added. Here in
Dane County, we continue
to prove that every year.
According to the press
release, the agreement
includes the creation of
a joint labor/manage ment committee that will
strive to increase minority
recruitment and retention
in the countys represented
workforce a key focus of
Parisi, county board members and labor leaders. It
also provides employees
with a raise in 2016 of .22
cents per hour, paid for in
part by savings the county
will receive from changes
in the employees health
insurance plans.
The countys workforce is operating under
an existing contract
through 2014. A one-year
agreement for 2015 was
approved last year.

A 27-year-old man was

killed in a Town of Primrose crash early Saturday
morning. According to a
news release from the Dane
County Sheriffs Office,
deputies were called around
5:30 a.m. to Hwy. 92 just
south of Mt. Vernon to the
report of a vehicle on its
roof.
The preliminary investigation indicates a 2005
Ford Ranger pick up truck
was traveling southbound
on Highway 92 when it
failed to negotiate a curve,
the report said. The vehicle then left the roadway
and rolled before landing
approximately 50 feet off
the roadway in a creek area
of a farm field.
The man, Joseph A. Stehura, of Madison, died
from injuries sustained in
the crash, according to a
news release from the Dane
County Medical Examiners Office.
Speed and alcohol appear
to have contributed to the
crash, police said.
The crash remains under
investigation by the Dane
County Sheriffs Office and
the Dane County medical
Examiners Office.

Rewriting your life

Writing can help us deal with many of lifes problems. Many
teenagers have weathered the storm and stress of those
turbulent years by keeping a journal, and that same practice
can help virtually anyone who can express him or herself
in writing. Writing about our fears and anxieties has a way
of making them a little less scary and often gives us insight
into how to resolve the situation. It can also be helpful to
write about our lives in a way that essentially rewrites the
story. Someone who is feeling a lack of courage might write
about themselves displaying courage. We all have stories
to tell, and in thinking about our lives we have a tendency
to place our lives into an overarching narrative. That is, we
tell ourselves a particular story that makes sense of our life.
The story we tell as a teenager is likely to be very different
from the one we tell in our twenties or thirties, and there is
obviously some wisdom to periodically updating our story.
What is the story that you currently tell about your life, and
how would you like to see it changed? As we get older, and
especially as we approach our golden years, we should
think more about whether our story really does fit the life we
have lived, and the story that we hope our life will someday
tell. We should also remember that the final version cant be
written until our life is complete.
- Christopher Simon via Metro News Service
Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of
wisdom.

do-it-yourself campaign
to launch a career shes
dreamed of since her first
solo in middle school choir
at age 11.
Timmins was featured in
the Press in 2009 after she
released her single, Magazines, on iTunes as a
VAHS junior.
In 2010, she enrolled at
the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston,
which offers a rare major in
songwriting.
Her coursework often
required her to write a
song or two a week. One
semester, her teacher was
former American Idol
judge Kara DioGuardi, who
required students to craft
and produce radio-ready
songs each week.
That was probably the
most grueling class, Timmins said. It was like a
full-time job basically. But
it was amazing.
The daughter of Jim and
Laura Timmins, Caitlin
graduated from Berklee
in three-and-a-half years,
aided by a full scholarship
her final two semesters. She
also got a financial boost in
2013, when a crowdsourcing campaign on Kickstarter.com netted her more than
$4,000 to fund an album
shes still working on.
After graduating last
December, she stayed in
Boston to work and save
money until late May, when
she moved to Los Angeles
with her boyfriend who
is also her producer to be

in the center of the music

world.
In L.A., she works as a
photographers assistant,
but her free time is devoted
to making and promoting
her music as Caity Copley,
the stage name she adopted
in February. It was a college nickname combining
her first name with Copley
Square in Boston.
For now, Timmins is
simply trying to build up
her fan base. She releases
her songs for free through
her YouTube channel and
on noisetrade.com. When
people download her songs
from the latter site, she adds
them to her mailing list.
In addition to singing,
A walk in the woods led me to ...
Timmins also plays piano.

During college, she played
live gigs in Boston at hotels
or other venues, and had
her first Los Angeles concert last month in West
Hollywood.
Her short-term goal is
to land a contract with a
publishing company that
would pay her to write
songs for other artists or
commercial campaigns.
That money would free her
to work on her own career,
she said. Her newest single
also landed her a deal with
Yamaha to use their keyboards and potentially play
at future company-sponsored concerts.
Timmins said she wrote
Audrey Hepburn Legs
with college friend Charlie Puth, whose songs on
YouTube have gone viral
and earned him an appearance on the Ellen Degeneres Show. Now, Timmins
hopes she can gain similar
fame.
Its all kind of a guessing game and a risk, but
its all worth it, I think,
she said. Its just that love
of music, thats what it all
comes down to.

He walked four, hit a batter and struck out four.

Shortstop Jacob Slonim makes a diving catch in the fourth inning.

It was Slonims first game with the Senior Legion squad. He was
playing for the Junior Legion team this summer.
The Verona Senior Legion team was

down by a run Monday when walks allowed
a Madison West insurance run.
The Wildcats scored in the seventh but
ultimately fell 6-5 at Stampfl Field.
The Regents other five runs came in the
bottom of the third with only four being
earned, but head coach Fred Volker said it
was the free passes that really hurt Verona.
We kind of created our own tough luck
with walks. You cant defend walks, he
said. When you walk guys, you can get an
error to open the flood gates. It really comes
down to throwing strikes.
But with eight total hits, three for extra
bases, and a chance to win, Volker said the

young Wildcats just need to regroup and
remain around the plate.
If we throw strikes and make the plays,
we will be OK, he said.
West led 5-4 in the bottom of the sixth,
when Verona pitcher Sam Mandarino
walked the bases loaded and allowed an
RBI groundout to Mark Alesia.
Verona came back with a run in the seventh. Mandarino tripled, and shortstop
Jacob Slonim brought him home on an RBI
single.

school varsity and Madison 56ers goalie is headed
to the Division II Upper
Iowa University in Fayette to continue his soccer
career this August.
And it looks like Rortvedt, who is majoring in
business management, will
have a chance to start or at
least play in his freshman
year.
Upper Iowa lost three
goalies from last year, and
it is bringing in two other
freshmen with Rortvedt
leaving the starting role to
a competition when camp
begins in mid-August.
I would like to have it,
but one of the guys is bigger than me so I will have
to try and get the edge,
said Rortvedt, who is the
only player with a scholarship on the team.
But getting that edge is
one of Rortvedts goals as
he plans to not only start
all four years but also possibly win some awards as
a junior or senior and help
Upper Iowa make a deep
playoff run.

Home Talent League
Cavaliers clinch No. 1 seed for the Western Section playoffs

Anthony Iozzo
The Verona Home Talent team

had a few changes this season
with the retirements of players
Matt Peetz and AJ Stoffels and
manager Dale Burgenske, but
the returning veterans and new
faces still came out with familiar
success.
The Cavaliers 10-runned
Mount Horeb/Pine Bluff 14-3
last Friday and followed up
that game with a 12-0 drubbing of Dodgeville. Those wins
move Verona to 13-0, clinching
the No. 1 seed and home-field
advantage for the playoffs.
It is certainly different,
especially not having Dale

around, but he was really good
with keeping all of us involved
with all the things he did, comanager Nick Krohn said. He
always listened to our input, so
it was not as huge of a transition. There are certainly some
new faces but we have all jelled
really well.
It also helps that without a full
lineup once this season, Verona
has been able to play some of
the younger players on the team.
Those at-bats and experience
will help in the long run, Krohn
said.
The Cavaliers continue the
season at 1 p.m. Sunday against
Oregon (6-7), but despite
clinching the No. 1 seed, Krohn

said not much will change with
the approach of the club.
16-0 would be a good goal,
but on the other hand, we are
not going to jeopardize a playoff
run, he said. We are going to
be smart to our pitching and if
some of our guys are banged up,
we will give them rest.
But we arent going to change
anything really. We are just
going to keep plugging away and
try to win every game.
But when the playoffs come
around, Krohn said the guys are
excited to play at home.
It is always good to play at
home. It is a good routine for
us, Krohn said. The park is
pretty fair in terms of nothing

being goofy about it no odd
dimensions.
We enjoy playing at home
and feel pretty comfortable
there.

Local athletes help U17 Dane County lacrosse

The Dane County Coyotes U17 Lacrosse Team, which is made up of local lacrosse players from Verona, Oregon, Stoughton, Sun Prairie, DeForest, Waunakee and Edgewood High Schools, recently claimed
back -to-back championships at the Lax Geneva and Windy City Lax Bash tournaments.

school, but he didnt always know he
would be playing soccer.
Rortvedt played baseball, basketball and soccer in youth and when he
first got to high school, but that slowly changed as he grew up.
Soccer seemed to take off more so
than the other sports, so I just stuck
with it and chose to quit or ease up
on the other sports, he said. And I
got even better and now made it to
college.
And he will now represent Verona in Division II along with former
teammate Garrett Grunke who
is playing soccer at St. Marys
University of Minnesota this fall.

But it wasnt just club or high
school soccer by themselves that prepared Rortvedt for the next level. It
was both, together.
High school was big because I
had to take on the leadership role on
the team with three other guys, but I
felt like my club more prepared me
because we were playing higher competition of teams and everyone was
playing at a higher level, he said.
The choice
Rortvedts choice for college came
down to five schools including
Edgewood College, Clark University, Viterbo University and Cardinal
Sport shorts
Stritch.
That choice came in December
after Rortvedt visited the campuses
and practiced with a few teams, but it
came down to two things: size of the
school and the athletic program.
I felt it was the best fit for me
because I am not a very outgoing
guy, and I think a big school like
Madison wouldnt fit me well, he
said.
It also helped that Rortvedts
mother Kim OLesky who is an
accountant in Verona graduated
from Upper Iowa University, making Rortvedts decision the possible
beginning of a family tradition, he
joked.

Retire: District moves forward with new administrators as two retire

bilingual programming,
community education and
the Kindergarten choice
program.
In some ways, thats
what I love about the job is
that it was never the same,
he said. It might be the
same for six months or a
year, but there was always
something that was new or
something on the edge that
I had the privilege to try.
Combined with the exit
of director of instruction
Donna Behn, who will also
retire after four years here
and 38 in education overall,
the district office will go
through significant changes
before the next school year
begins.
VASD superintendent
Dean Gorrell, who has been
in the district nine years
himself, said both will be
missed greatly.
You can always fill
a position, but you cant
replace the institutional history that goes with it, he
said. I take it for granted
Ill just be able to go two
doors down and say John,
do you remember when?
Can you fill in the blanks
and tell me about this?
Schmitt said most of
all hell miss the people
theyve worked with while
in the district.
Whenever I would meet
or talk with my colleagues,
I knew that we all had the
best interest of kids in mind,
Schmitt said. That just
makes it worth coming to
work every day when you
know that the people youre
with have that in mind.
26 years of change
Just weeks after Schmitt
arrived in the district, the
board hired a new superintendent: Tony Evers.
Today, Evers is the state
superintendent, in charge
of education policy across
Wisconsin.
Schmitt recalls Evers giving him a chance to expand
beyond the Gifted and Talented program into community education, with the
idea that schools are kind
of bought and paid for by
the community, and that
learning should be cradle to
grave, Schmitt said.
I shared some ideas
with Tony and he said,
Yeah, go ahead, run with
it, Schmitt said. Its neat
to see 20-some years later
that we still have community education going strong
in the district.
Years and four superintendents later, he said he
still finds that support for
experimentation and new
ideas everywhere he turns
Here, weve always

been encouraged to
try new things, to be
innovative, to look
for whats important
for kids.
Working with
staff and the
administrative
team is incredible
here. Very hardworking group of
individuals.
John Schmitt
Retiring after 26 years
in various community
outreach roles
Donna Behn
in the administration.
The climate here allows
us to be able to venture
out and try something,
he said. But if you dont
do it, you feel like youre
just stagnant. Here, weve
always been encouraged to
try new things, to be innovative, to look for whats
important for kids.
Its led to lots of changes
for Schmitt and what his
job focuses on.
Over the years, that has
included helping create the
districts first two charter
schools, New Century and
Core Knowledge, in the
mid-1990s; building up the
summer school program;
instituting open enrollment,
now an annual financial
boon for the district; and
advancing programs for
English language-learners.
The last one stands out as
significant to Schmitt, who
began working with the
program when there were
around 40 English languagelearners across the district.
Today, there are nearly
800. Eventually, he helped
to develop the Two-Way
Immersion program that
began in the 2013-14 school
year with positive feedback
from parents and waiting
lists for both Spanish- and
English-speakers at the kindergarten level. Next year,
it will grow next year into
first grade with the expectation that it will eventually
become a K-5 program, and
possibly roll into middle and
high school.
Thats probably been the
most significant learning in
my career and some of the
most valuable to be able
to really understand and
appreciate the cultural differences that now are in our
district and that has really
enriched our district, he
said. Thats been a very
rewarding part of my career
to be part of that.
Schmitt also recalled one
specific time with a student
in the district that was a
touching moment for him.
It was a few years ago,
after administrators in the
district had begun to work
with one student every

week on reading. Schmitt

did this weekly on Tuesday
mornings until his retirement, and the first-grader
he was working with was
asked to introduce him to
his classmates.
After a bit of hesitation,
the boy said something
Schmitt wont ever forget.
He says, Well, this
is Mr. Schmitt, and he
called me up, Schmitt said.
Well can you tell the class
who Mr. Schmitt is? and
hes like, Um, hes my
friend.
Out of a first-graders
mouth, Schmitt continued.
Those are memories that
stay with you. Somehow
weve built a relationship
there that he considers a
friend.
In retirement, Schmitt
plans to spend more time
volunteering with Living
Water International, an
organization that works to
bring water to communities in South America and
a place he has worked with
for years already. He also
hopes to start his own lifecoaching organization to
help others find their purpose in life and spend time
with his grandchildren,
including a newborn granddaughter.
Im so excited about
whats next, he said.
A short, eventful stay

Behn also was in charge
of developing programs
while here.
She came to the district
from a similar position in
the Janesville School District after realizing Janesville was too big for her.
I wanted more handson kinds of things, said
Behn, explaining that her
position in Janesville was
much more administrativefocused.
It rapidly becomes
home at Sienna Crest.
Care is excellent and the
staff are family.

One of her major projects

here was developing the
districts 4-year-old kindergarten program, which
began in fall 2012. She had
previously done the same in
Janesville.
That happened right
away when I came on
board, Behn said. Im
one of the few directors of
instruction that have started
programs like that in two
districts.
Behn spent much of her
time on professional development with teachers and
working to implement the
recently adopted Common
Core standards.
In late June, the morning
before she left for a vacation
to Spain, Behn was in the
Verona Area High School
K-wing, working with teachers on a writing workshop
to enhance their skills as
classroom teachers.
Working with staff on
professional development
has also been a highlight for
me, she said. The writing workshop that we just
are working on, this is great
seeing this room was full
of people.
She also reworked the
high school science curriculum after talking with
the Grade 6-12 science
teachers and seeing how
classes needed to adjust
to meet newer standards.
That resulted in changing
the high school freshman
science class from physical
science to biology.
Those are the kinds of
things that happen when
people get together and
they collaborate together
and work together to dig

deep into what youre
doing, she said.
Shell officially end her
time in education at the
end July and looks forward
to possibly volunteering at
Agrace Hospice and a veterans hospital, traveling,
reading and spending time
with her 13 great-nieces
and nephews.
I think Ill find plenty to
keep me busy, she said.
But shell miss a lot of
things as well, especially
the staff.
Working with staff and
the administrative team is
incredible here, she said.
Very hard-working group
of individuals.
District moves forward

The board hired successors for both Schmitt and
Behn earlier this year.
Schmitts, Laurie Burgos,
was officially hired at the
May 5 school board meeting with a new title: director of bilingual programs
and instructional equity.
That change from
Schmitts director of community services role comes
with some small changes in
the job description to focus
the position more than it
had been over Schmitts 26
years.
John wears many hats
and Johns position has
really changed over time at
the service of whoever the
superintendent was, Gorrell told the board at the
Feb. 17 board meeting as
they developed the description to post for candidates.
The job now will focus
on developing the bilingual

programming, including the
Two-Way Immersion program, and working to close
achievement gaps -- differences in standardized test
scores and academic success among students of different races and socioeconomic statuses.
Other duties Schmitt had
performed included overseeing the Kindergarten
choice program and getting information to parents
of incoming students about
their options. That duty will
now fall to a new public
information specialist the
district has yet to hire.
Burgos, who last worked
in the Racine School District, told the board when
she was hired that the district feels more like a family than a school district.
I wasnt even really
looking for a job, she said.
I feel like its a really great
fit, and Im looking forward
to coming here.
Eau Claire Area School
District director of secondary education Anne Franke
will take over for Behn as
the director of curriculum
and instruction.
She was officially hired
at the June 2 board meeting
but was unable to attend the
meeting.
Gorrell said both Frankes and Burgos experience in positions similar to
what theyll do in VASD
will help smooth the transition.
In the hiring process
youre just really cognizant of those kinds of big
pieces and just trying to
find somebody who is, not
a lookalike, but somebody
who has an understanding
of it either from their own
professional experiences,
he said.
Gorrell said Schmitt and
Behn would be missed.
Both John and Donna
are going to leave so many
great things and people will
be talking about them for
years.

The school board and
teachers union opened negotiations with a wide disparity
teachers asked for a 30 percent increase in salary overall,
while the board countered with
an offer to increase 2.3 percent.
The Verona Area Education
Association explained that
teachers had lost more than
10 percent in annual compensation during the past two
years compared to the consumer price index. During that
time, the salary increase had
been 9.5 percent. The impact
of the VAEA proposal would
have added another $1.2 million to district residents taxes.
VAEA also had a variety of
other requests, relating to such
items as class load, longevity
and sabbatical leave.
The Verona boys basketball team just missed out on
what would have been its first
appearance at state, falling
58-56 to Mauston in the sectional final at Wisconsin Dells.
The team had risen to a
statewide ranking of 17 among
small high schools.
St. James Lutheran Church
pastor Al Braunschweig
decided against a transfer to

instead decided to stay in
Verona.
There is much I can still do
here, he explained. I like it
here; I love the people.
A former Verona resident
living in England wrote a letter to the Press describing
the energy crisis his town is
enduring and the steps the
government was taking to deal
with it.
From increasing oil lamp
usage and sales to restricting heating, to reducing the
speed limit from 70 mph to
50 mph, to ending TV shows
early, England was employing
a wide variety of techniques,
he said. But gas prices had
risen to $1.25 a gallon.
The Town of Springdale
agreed to follow school district boundaries in its planned
attachment to the Verona
Fire District. However, the
Town Board and Fire District
Commission disagreed on the
how much the purchase of
the share in equipment would
cost.
Superintendent Morgan
Poulette advised the school
board of a developers plan
to build 243 homes in an area
near where Savanna Oaks and
Stoner Prairie schools are
now.
The Town of Verona held
a nine-candidate primary election for three supervisor seats.

Eliminated were Alan Lillesand,
George Little and Ray Palmer.
A Mount Horeb area couple
died in a head-on collision on
U.S. Hwy. 18-151. A 22-yearold woman from Dubuque had

The school district held
a public viewing of an informative film by Art Linkletter
concerning the issue of drug
abuse. It also had a sheriffs
department representative and
a doctor for Q&A after the film.

The Chamber of Commerce
began surveying residents on
their feelings about downtown
revitalization in conjunction
with the citys financial feasibility study looking into the use of
taxpayer funding for the area.
The chamber survey, conducted by the University of
Wisconsin-Extension, had
been used in several area communities and asked residents
about such things as marketing, their shopping habits and
area recreation and needs.
A neighborhood on Lucille
Street began filling with selfhelp homes, built with a down
payment of 40 hours of labor
per family per week for several
months.
The program, one of two
types of FHA loans, was coordinated by the South Central
Housing Corporation and is
similar to what Habitat for
Humanity does today.
Veronas DECA chapter
produced more students eligible for attending nationals
than any other Dane County
high school, with seven of
eight advancing at the state
competition.
The city and town put
questions on the April ballot asking voters about the
possibility of purchasing land
from the county for its first
large community recreational
park. The joint venture would
purchase 17 acres and lease
another 13 for 99 years.
The area is now known as
Community Park and includes
softball, baseball, skateboard
and hockey facilities.
The city began making a
change to its police cars to
use blue lights, rather than red
ones, at a cost of $100 per car.
The city reached a settlement with Payne and Dolan
on repairing faulty pavement
on Hemlock and Mahogany
streets in the new Cross
Country Heights subdivision.

Russell and Gladys Miller

celebrated their 50th wedding
anniversary.

A Blue Ribbon Committee
began studying ways to stop
Madison annexation from
encroaching on the Verona
community.
Among the topics was citytown consolidation, something that has been brought
up multiple times in the past
half-century. That course of
action was encouraged by
Doug Morrissette, mayor of
Fitchburg, which had incorporated an entire town just over
a decade earlier for the same
reason.
Other suggestions included a
boundary agreement between
the city and town and the town
encouraging development near
Madison, as Middleton did.
Verona senior Neil Walker
set state records in the 100yard backstroke and 200
individual medley. His 100
time, set at the University of
Wisconsin natatorium, was
better than any posted by a
UW swimmer.
Walker would go on to win
four Olympic medals, in 2004
and 2008.
Superintendent Bob
Gilpatrick presented the results
of his year-and-a-half-long
project, establishing standards
and assessment methods for
student achievement.
In addition to several standardized tests, his plan was
to rely on portfolios kept from
kindergarten through 12th
grade and gateway experiences at certain grade levels.
U.S. Rep. Scott Klug honored middle school special
needs teacher Mary Moroder
as a Friend of Education.
Moroder is now the associate principal and special ed
coordinator at Country View
Elementary.
A 16-year-old VAHS student was suspended for at
least a semester-and-a-half for
drug possession and holding
a knife to the chest of a classmate. Three other students
served suspensions related to
drug activities as a result of
a bust at the high school and
middle school.
Verona senior Luke Sullivan
finishes third at the state wrestling tournament and junior
teammate Ben Mikla finished
seventh at 152 pounds.
Contractors moved the
home of Russ and Rose
Johnson from its foundation on County Highway PB
to make way for the Verona
bypass.
The city committed
$25,000 to study traffic patterns around the high school
and redesign services for connecting streets in the area.
A large group of Verona
Area Middle School parents
turned out to a PTO program
aimed at curbing student
drinking.
A VAHS custodian agreed
to retire a year early after being
accused of hitting a student.
Country View fifth-grader
Kyle Hausmann-Stokes earned
a black belt degree at the age
of 11.

Superintendent Bill
Conzemius surprised the
school board with a proposal
to expand bus service to more
elementary school children.
The proposal, which added
the Westridge and Wildwood
South neighborhoods, also
surprised the large crowd of
parents who had showed up

to oppose a plan to cut all bus
service for kids living less than
two miles from their home
school.
That plan had been introduced in recent months as
a budget cutting measure
but also because the growth
in Verona was making busing more and more expensive and because parents had
questioned the fairness of an
exemption for some neighborhoods.
You cant really put a dollar figure on the head of any
child, Conzemius explained of
his plan which wouldve cost
less than $100,000.
The board approved the proposal, to bus all kids more
than 1.25 miles away, in April
and worked out the details in
committee.
The school board voted 5-1
to adopt a weekly late start for
all of its elementary schools,
beginning with the next school
year.
The idea was part of a plan
to save money on substitute
teachers during the teacher
planning period. It was one of
three options presented.
A Verona Area School
District survey had found most
parents preferred having a
consistent late start one morning per week, rather than 18
late-start days and five days
off.
Angie Murphy took a position as the Verona varsity girls
head basketball coach, despite
her doubts about taking a job
that didnt include teaching
math, as well.
Verona athletic director
Mark Kryka said, I wasnt
sure if she would coach somewhere she wasnt teaching. I
was pleased to see that she
applied.
She said she was eager to
build a program where kids
couldnt wait to get to varsity,
but also have fun.
Veronas Leyla Sanyer, an
orchestra teacher in Oregon,
was awarded the Elizabeth A.
H. Green Award, a national
honor given to one public
school teacher in the United
States who is seen as a leader
in the field, by the American
String Teachers Association.
Chris Benetti stepped down
as the basketball coach of the
Verona varsity girls team, saying it needed a higher level
than he could provide. Benetti
still works as a history teacher at Savanna Oaks Middle
School.
Veronas
Elizabeth
Kraemer was named the 200304 School Psychologist of the
Year by the Wisconsin School
Psychologists Association.
She had worked for the district
for several years.
Verona Area Community
Theater began building a new
facility on Bruce Street. It
has recently begun looking
at building a larger facility in a
new location.
Danny Bartkowiak began
playing for the Superior
International Junior A Hockey
League. At the age of 11, he
had traveled to Sweden as
part of an elite national hockey
team.
