Still Climbing the Mountain
$10M fire station mostly approved
Quick doors, fire pole included
JIM FEROLIE
Verona Press editor
With bids for the new Verona
fire and EMS station coming in
higher than anticipated, alders
looked hard for ways to cut costs
Monday night.
They came to consensus on
only a handful of them, and
theyll be hard-pressed to come
close to last months estimate of
$10.4 million.
A few strategies were suggested
by Tri-North Builders, the citys
construction manager for the
project.
With the city following new
procedures, it has the ability
accept bids from individual sub-
contractors, rather than just take
one general contractors price.
That means some additional cost
and quality control, but it also
makes for some complicated dis-
cussions to get there.
Much of the 75-minute dis-
cussion involved going through
noncontroversial bid items that
nevertheless needed careful con-
sideration because of the delicate
logic puzzle presented by decid-
ing on bids for 19 individual proj-
ects and nine alternate options. In
following recommendations giv-
en by construction managers and
the fire chief, the city rejected six
bids, awarded 13 and agreed on
six optional additions or subtrac-
tions.
The most notable of those were
easy pickings for pernicious types
Verona Area School District
No referendum
in November
Need to ensure land is
purchasable, finalize second deal
SCOTT GIRARD
Unified Newspaper Group
Despite hopes from officials earlier in the
year and a preliminary land purchase agree-
ment, Verona Area School District voters will
not vote on a land purchase referendum in
November.
VASD superintendent Dean Gorrell told the
Verona Press on Friday morning there was
simply too much left in the process to ask the
school board to pass a resolution in August to
get a referendum on the ballot, which would
be required.
That includes a desired second land purchase
in addition to the agreement reached earlier in
the year to purchase 40 acres in the West End
property owned by Vanta Properties, formerly
T. Wall Properties. That purchase, which is big

Veronas Govek in 20th year of MS fundraising ride
SCOTT DE LARUELLE
For years, when it came to helping out
those suffering from Multiple Sclerosis
(MS), Rick Govek was there to grab his
gear, climb on his bike and ride to raise
some money. After two brothers were
afflicted with the debilitating disease, it
only served to increase his efforts.
This year, with one brother doing fine
while another is facing many life chal-
lenges from MS, the Verona resident is
participating in his 20th straight fund-
raiser, the MS150 Best Dam Bike Ride,
and he hopes to continue to spread the
word about the disease. In that time, hes
been able to raise more than $55,000 for
MS research.
When Govek, 50, started the ride, he
had no idea how much MS would affect
his family. He already had a couple
good family friends who were fight-
ing the disease, and as a bicycle enthu-
siast, he saw a way he could help. A few
years later, though, his older brother
Drew, now 51, was diagnosed with MS,
and 18 months later, his younger brother
Ed, now 48, got the news that he also
had the disease, which he said redou-
bled his fundraising efforts.
Govek said much remains unknown
about the disease, as researchers are still
trying to figure out if there are environ-
mental or genetic or both that facili-
tate its spread.
Theyre still learning about what
causes it, theyre not really for sure, he
said. They do know that people in this
part of the country tend to get MS at a
much higher rate than the Deep South.
There are about one in every 500 peo-
ple with MS in Wisconsin, and one in
10,000 in Texas.

Swimming
with sharks
Marine biology field study
takes Verona native to
Bahamas
KATHRYN CHEW
Press Correspondent
Saoi rse Keel y-Zi nkel
jumped into the turquoise
blue water and was soon
surrounded by several big
Caribbean reef sharks. But
unlike most people, she did
not want to get out.
It was so cool watch-
ing them swim around and
observing what they did,
Keely-Zinkel, 18, wrote
in an email to the Verona
Press. Sometimes they
got really close and would
swim under me.
The 2014 Verona Area
High School graduate was
one of twenty high school
students chosen from the
mi dwest by Chi cago s
Shedd Aquarium for the
High School Marine Biol-
ogy (HSMB)
program -- a
h a n d s - o n
marine biol-
ogy research
exper i ence
i n Bi mi ni ,
B a h a ma s ,
t hat ended
on July 19.
T h e
40-year-old program took
the students behind the
scenes at the Shedd Aquar-
ium to grasp the fundamen-
tals of marine biology and
get introduced to the Baha-
mas unique plants and ani-
mals. Then the students set
sail on the Shedds research
vessel, the R/V Coral Reef
II for a week-long field
study. There, students snor-
kelled around various eco-
systems collecting data and
practicing different scien-
tific methods.
The main ecosystems
we explored were sandy
bot t om, seagrass beds,
coral reefs and tide pools,
Keely-Zinkel said.
Within each ecosystem
the students employed a
wide variety of different
scientific methods to learn
more about t he nat ural
aquatic state of Bimini and
the different species that
inhabit it.
We did fish counts to
see what species and how
many species were in a spe-
cific area, Keely-Zinkel
explained.
The group also used a
transect sampling method,
which involves counting
the number of occurrences
of an object of study in a
section of a natural feature,
to compare the amount of
seagrass near a beach to
further out into the water,
said Keely-Zinkel.
The highlight of the trip
for Keely-Zinkel, however,
was swimming with sharks
and visiting Shark Lab, a
biological field station in
Bimini.
Thi s was t he perfect
opport uni t y for Keel y-
Zinkel given her particular
interest in sharks.
Ive found sharks fas-
cinating since I was a little
kid, Keely-Zinkel said.
And Ive done everything
I can since then to learn
as much as I can about
sharks.
Planning to work hard
through college and get
a PhD in marine biology
or shark biology, Keely-
Zinkel hopes to become
a marine biologist with a
focus on shark conserva-
tion.
Although the HSMB pro-
gram was a tiring experi-
ence, complete with early
mornings and late nights,
Keely-Zinkel believes it
was all worth it because it
nurtured her passions and
helped prepare her for the
future.
Not only did Keely-Zin-
kel gain practical marine
biology experience but,
one of the most important
things I learned was how to
work with a team of people
on a boat, she said.
I was with the same peo-
ple all day, every day for a
week, Keely-Zinkel added.
This has helped me see my
own strengths in a group
environment and how the
others and I can use these
skills to our advantage.
Thi s upc omi ng f a l l
Keely-Zinkel will continue
her journey toward becom-
ing a marine biologist as a
freshman at UW- Stevens
Point.

Town of Verona
Complaints
send stable
back for permit
No citations issued
for alleged violations
SCOTT GIRARD
A local horse stable is once
again facing a battle on zon-
ing requirements.
Liberty Stables, which had
to be rezoned in 2009 after it
was found that the land the
business operated on was
incorrectly zoned and nar-
rowly prevailed at both the
town and county levels, is
now asking for a new condi-
tional use permit after a series
of complaints from a neigh-
bor.
That neighbor, Town of
Verona Sup. Gregg Miller,
has lived next door to Lib-
erty Stables owner Mandy
Thomas since she moved
there around eight years ago,
and said the problems hes
seen have been consistent
throughout that time.
Liberty Stables owner
Mandy Thomas said the alle-
gations were a case of neigh-
bors picking on her.
Ive been cleared of all
of (the complaints), Thom-
as told the Press. Its been
going on all summer long and
Im sick and tired of it.
She said the complaints
involved her current con-
ditional use permit (CUP),
much of which is out of date
and involves items that are
no longer on her property and
includes a limit of 18 horses
on her property at any given
time.
Thomas said shed like
to increase that to an unlim-
ited number during business
hours and 25 overnight to
allow flexibility for riders.
Obviously if I cant have
as many horses as I want
out here theres going to be
a lot of kids that cant ride
their horses, she said. I can
keep all the horses I currently
have, but were constantly
having to shuffle horses just
so these kids can ride.
Miller, however, told the
Press his main complaint
involves dust from an area
60 yards away from his front
door that gets kicked up into
his house when the horses
ride on it.
Im looking out here right
now and theres kids out
there using it and theres dust
in the air, he said over the
phone Monday afternoon.
He also maintained that
another Town Board mem-
ber, Manfred Enburg, initi-
ated contact with the county
earlier this year when he
drove down White Crossing
Road and saw cars parked on
both sides of the road because
of a gathering at the stables.
That prompted a letter to
the county asking it to do
something about her alleged
CUP violations.
Her acr oss- t he- st r eet
neighbor, Bill Krell, also got
caught up in the process, as
he keeps around 20 horses on
his property but has a permit
that limits him to 10, Thomas
said.
Miller said Krell would
like to increase the limit to
25 horses, a number he said
he could support for both
Krell and Thomas prop-
erty because they are large
enough. He said he does not
plan to recuse himself on the
vote.
I would not be able to
support a conditional use
permit for unlimited animals
on a parcel of land thats 10
acres or less no matter where
it is or whos involved, Mill-
er said.
The town Plan Commis-
sion will discuss Krell and
Thomas applications for
new permits at its meeting
Thursday, July 31, at 6:30
p.m. at Town Hall.
County building
Thursdays meeting will
also feature a discussion of a
conditional use permit pro-
posal from Dane County on
the Badger Prairie Health
Care Center property at 1100
E. Verona Ave.
The new permit is related
to the countys blanket rezon-
ing process, which has been
going on the last few years to
bring zoning in line with state
laws. County real estate coor-
dinator Jan Zimmerman said
the new zoning will allow
the Consolidated Foods and
health center to continue their
operations, while also offer-
ing a chance for the county
to lease out an administra-
tive building that is currently
mostly vacant.
The new zoning, A3,
would allow for a govern-
mental, religious, institution-
al or non-profit to lease such
a space.
City of Verona
Taco Bell plans east-side store
JIM FEROLIE
Verona Press editor
Probably the most common answer
to what does Verona need is more
restaurants.
Whether that includes fast food or
the fourth meal depends on whom
you ask.
Apparently, Taco Bell believes
theres sufficient demand, as the
multinational chain of Mexican fast
food restaurants is looking to build
a 2,000-square-foot location off East
Verona Avenue, just four miles from
a Fitchburg store and five miles from
one in Madison.
Following in the footsteps of Dairy
Queen and Little Caesars Pizza, it
would fill the third or four outlots in
front of Farm and Fleet, on Home-
town Circle, continuing a chain of
chain restaurants along Verona Ave-
nue that includes McDonalds and
Culvers.
The proposal, submitted by Ohio-
based GPD Group on behalf of Taco
Bell of America, looks strikingly
similar to the Dairy Queen setup in
the adjacent lot, with a small, 40-seat
restaurant, parking to the east and
a rear-loaded drive-through queue
snaking around a stormwater pond.
The hours of operation will be
determined by the local manager,
but can be assumed to be open from
7 a.m.-2 a.m. with extended weekend
hours, the proposal states.
The proposal also states that 70
percent of business is drive-through.
City planning director Adam Sayre
said there could be some question
about its placement in the middle of
the lot, with nearly 40 feet of lawn bor-
dering the eastern sidewalk that will
curve around Hometown Circle when
complete. The plan isnt clear about
signage, but the Plan Commission
allowed Dairy Queen to violate the
original rules for the 28-acre Home-
town Circle development that afforded
only common monument signs.
The commission is expected to
give an initial review of the project
Monday at its regular meeting, which
begins at 6:30 p.m. at Verona City
Center and is televised on local cable
on VHAT, Ch. 98. No action will be
allowed, only feedback for the devel-
oper.

Opinion
Its the little things
that really matter
A
fter curiously perusing the
aisles of Miller and Sons
Supermarket, the Costa
Rican crew traveling with me
settled on some familiar cans of
pop and headed for the checkout.
Just as they were about to leave,
one of them remembered to ask
the cashier for straws.
The straws are located in aisle
10, she replied
politely.
There was an
awkward pause
punctuated only
by the beeping
of the check-
out machines.
I imagine the
cashier was
wondering why
we asked for
straws after we paid.
But the Costa Ricans were defi-
nitely wondering, Why wont she
just give me a straw?
In Costa Rica, when you buy a
can or bottle of pop at the super-
market, you usually get a compli-
mentary straw. Alter talking up
the friendly, hometown service at
Millers, this was a difficult one
to explain and it was one of many
surprises my Costa Rican family
would encounter on their 10-day
quest through the Midwest.
I first began traveling to Costa
Rica in 2006, and after experienc-
ing the hospitality and kindness
of the Costa Ricans, it has always
been my dream to share that same
experience with a Costa Rican in
Wisconsin. That became a reality
last fall when guest writer Bernal
Blanco shared his one-month
experience in Verona, but this
time would be different.
I married my lovely Costa
Rican wife in January, and word
soon got out that she and I were
planning a trip to Wisconsin.
I knew I was marrying into a
large family, but I wasnt sure of its
proportions. I found out quickly.
I had invited the in-laws, but
before long, aunts, uncles and
cousins came calling to see if they
could get in on the experience,
too. In the end, there were eight of
us and a 10-month-old infant.
Im sure this had a lot to do with
safety in numbers. Costa Ricans
are known to travel in packs.
As an example, San Jose Cos-
ta Ricas capital is 60 minutes
by bus from San Ramon, and my
27-year-old wife has never gone
there by herself. If she cant go
with her parents or a friend, she
wont go.
The majority of our family trav-
elers didnt have passports and
had never been on a plane before.
As you can see, telling someone
here that they dont get out much
really takes on a whole new
meaning.
The pack mentality became
apparent when we decided to
cram all of us into one large vehi-
cle to visit Minnesota rather than
dividing up into two comfier cars,
and it became even more apparent
when the whole group spent one
gleeful night on air mattresses in
my parents living room.
For them, being together while
seeing the sights, hearing the
sounds, and smelling the smells
both good and bad is what
makes the experience special for
them.
I knew this coming in, and I had
repeatedly pledged to keep the trip
simple. I just didnt realize how
simple they wanted it.
We spent close to 10 hours in
Target and Walmart, and we may
be responsible for the uptick in
sales at the Verona St. Vincent
de Paul store, but I overestimated
when purchasing water park tick-
ets for the group.
I had envisioned screams of
fear and excitement as they expe-
rienced the water park rides, but I
was only able to get half the group
to go into the water. The other
half was content hanging out at
the hotel and relaxing.
I even got passes to the indoor/
outdoor water park so they
couldnt say it was too cold out-
side, but nonetheless, my raging
river idea went over a little more
like a trickling stream.
I soon realized that I had been
going for the big impression when
they were looking for the little
things. Watching the squirrels
run around the yard, seeing the
ducks at the park and riding our
lawnmower were just some of
the small details that they really
enjoyed.
For them, the most fascinating
mystery of my hometown was
how anything survived the winter.
Being from a tropical country
where plants bloom year-round,
they were particularly perplexed
by this dormant period.
Where do the squirrels and
birds go? Do you have to replant
the grass every year? What about
the farm animals? What about the
cows? Does their milk freeze?
As for those cows, a trip to
Wisconsin wouldnt be complete
without a dairy farm visit, and for
once I was able to impress them
with something big.
Cattle and dairy farming are
very common in Costa Rica, and
if you have even 15 cows, thats
considered a lot. We took them to
a local farm where approximately
600 cows are milked three times a
day, and they were wowed by the
level of efficiency, organization
and calculated production that
happens in our local agricultural
industry. Thats something that
doesnt exist in Costa Rica.
In the end, the little things
always win us over. Seeing the
awe and appreciation for our
small corner of the world through
the eyes of my Costa Rican in-
laws was definitely the best part,
and even if they couldnt get
straws at the supermarket, at least
they had the experience of learn-
ing to drink from a can.

Letters to the editor
Register to vote Aug. 12 at the polls
On Aug. 12, there will be a
primary election and all of the
polls will be open from 7 a.m. to
8 p.m. If you recently moved or
just became eligible to vote, this
is an ideal time to register to vote
especially if you plan to vote in
the November election.
Voter turnout at primary elec-
tions tends to be low so poll work-
ers have more time to help people
register.
In contrast, in Springdale where
I volunteer to help with elections,
November elections for governor
or president have over 90 percent
turnout and usually about 100
people registering to vote.
So, to make things easier for
everyone in November, if you can,
come in and register Aug. 12.
We will be glad to see you.

As many of you know, this
years National Night Out will
take place on Tuesday, Aug.
5th. This event will certainly be
a night of fun and entertainment,
but it also serves as an opportunity
for civic engagement.
Events like National Night Out
create an environment to build
relationships with public safety
professionals and learn about their
job. Unfortunately, the majority
of our interactions with these men
and women come during our bad
days and emergencies. Due to our
normal interactions, it is difficult
to look past our own experiences
to see the positive service that the
Verona Police, Fitch-Rona EMS,
and Verona Fire provide. National
Night Out allows these profes-
sionals to showcase their efforts.
I want to thank the Verona
Police Department for organizing
this event and Fitch-Rona EMS
and Verona Fire for their partici-
pation and collaboration. I hope
to see many of you there using
this opportunity to become more
involved in your community.

Get Off Your High Horse
If there is any sin which religious people are particularly
prone to, it is perhaps the sin of religious pride, and espe-
cially the sin of thinking that we are somehow holier than
the mass of humanity. Religious people who teach, preach
or write about these subjects are probably more at risk for
this than the average person, since they are in some ways
called upon to exhort others to act and believe piously.
There are lots of dangers of being on this moral and reli-
gious high horse, not the least of which is that we have
farther to fall the higher the horse. Indeed, Jesus reserved
his most scathing criticisms for those high-minded teach-
ers and Pharisees who seemed to relish the prospect of
casting stones at sinners. The woes enumerated in the 23rd
chapter of Matthew's gospel and the 11th chapter of Luke's
are directed at various forms of religious sins, and we would
do well to study these chapters and honestly ask ourselves
which of these high horses we might be riding on, perhaps
without realizing it.
- Christopher Simon via Metro News Service
The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses'
seat. So you must be careful to do everything they tell you.
But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what
they preach.
Matthew 23:2-3 NIV

Climate Change
Speech
Ve r o n a n a t i v e a n d
recently retired judge, Dick
Smith, will give a presenta-
tion on the Citizens Climate
Lobby (CCL) at 7 p. m.
Tuesday, Aug. 5, at the
Mount Horeb Community
Center, 107 N. Grove St.
The free program is open to
the public and is sponsored
by the Southwest Wiscon-
sin Area Progressives.
His program will shed
light on the CCL, the work
they do, their accomplish-
ments and the future prom-
ise of the organization. But
his real message is about
what ordinary citizens can
do locally, back home in the
district, to make a real dif-
ference on climate change.
Its a two-step process: get
educated and get political.
Smi t h has become an
accidental activist with
experience lobbying for
sensible measures to com-
bat climate change and
helping Republicans and
Democrat s i n Congress
find a workable solution.
He recently joined more
t han 600 ot her CCLers
from around the country
in Washington D.C. for a
series of small-group meet-
ings with nearly 500 mem-
bers of Congress and their
key energy advisors.

Marimba music
Verona Senior Center was graced with the musical stylings of
marimba musician Ricardo Miguel Vasquez as part of its Tropical
Day Thursday, July 24, in the afternoon. Later that evening, seniors
got to take part in a Polynesian Dance with Malia and Family. The
day also featured non-alcoholic margaritas.
Above, known as the Marimba Man, Vasquez played a wide variety
of songs for participating senior citizens, including the ever popular
You Are My Sunshine.

Thursday evening.
Top Chef
Verona area teenagers had
a chance to show off their
kitchen skills at the Top
Chef event Wednesday, July
22. The group made chicken
salad sandwiches and fruit
pizza in teams, and their
final products were judged
based on the presentation.
They didnt go home hungry
though, as after the judging
they had a chance to try their
(hopefully) tasty treats.

chicken at the start of the competition. Before they began, they were shown the

Hernandez chooses UW-
Stout to play, learn the
business side of golf
ANTHONY IOZZO
Assistant sports editor
Gol f wasnt
something Vero-
na Area High
School gradu-
ate Rachel Her-
na nde z t ook
seriously at a
young age, but
that all changed
her sophomore
year playing for
the varsity girls
team.
Hernandez has since gained last-
ing friendships and was a key part
of the teams recent growth and suc-
cess, including a team state berth last
year, and that led her to the dream of
one day owning, managing or being
a golf professional at a golf course.
Hernandezs dream got a little
closer two weeks ago when she
decided to play golf at the Division
III University of Wisconsin-Stout
and also major in the Golf Enterprise
Management program to learn the
business side of the game.
I enjoy being on a golf course
so much and, with how golf has
shaped my life from high school to
now, I wanted to do something that I
enjoyed, she said. I saw that Stout
had that program, I thought it would
be so much fun to do and still have
golf in my life.
Learning the business side
Hernandez is joining a GEM pro-
gram that has over 90 percent work
placement after graduation for wom-
en, who make up about 20 percent of
the students in the program.
Besides honing her skills on the
golf course and learning to teach
the game, she will also be learn-
ing food and beverage operations,
merchandising, technology, market-
ing, player services, club fitting and
repair all the components that are
necessary for a golf club to be suc-
cessful and profitable, said Howie
Samb, the UW-Stout womens golf
head coach and GEM teacher.
Samb said that many women have
gained jobs all over the United States
in sales, event planning, marketing,
golf operations, etc.
Hernandez has a great future
ahead of her. That is for sure, he
said.
She just hopes that her future at a
golf course is someplace warm, Her-
nandez joked.
Chance to play right away
Hernandez looked at a few other
schools, but since UW-Stout was
the only school in Wisconsin that
offered the GEM program and D I
schools that offered it were so com-
petitive, she settled on being a Blue
Devil.
And she joins the program at an
opportune time. With four seniors,
no juniors and a sophomore, Her-
nandez can not only learn from old-
er, more experienced players but can
also vie for a starting five position
for a few tournaments her freshman
year and possibly consistently in her
sophomore year.
Samb, who has been in contact
with Hernandez for about a year
watching her play in high school and
now in Wisconsin Junior PGA sum-
mer tournaments, said he has noticed
her improvement.
Samb said that her abilities and
work ethic show she is just going
to continue to get better, and he
wouldnt be surprised if she was able
to make the starting five for a few
tournaments.
That is really exciting because
those are the types of girls that pri-
marily make up our team, Samb
said. Being D III, we do not get
the high-profile players. I try to find
young ladies that have potential that
are willing to work hard and get bet-
ter, and Rachel certainly fits that
mold to a tee.
Hernandez leaves for UW-Stout
on Aug. 25 with the season starting
soon afterward. The team plays in
the fall and spring, but Samb said
the main part of the season in the fall
because that is when the Wisconsin
Intercollegiate Athletic Conference
championship is with the win-
ner earning an automatic bid for the
NCAA Division III championship.
UW-Stout plays tournaments
against teams from Minnesota, Illi-
nois and Wisconsin, and it will also
travel to Warren Golf Course the
home of the University of Notre
Dame to play teams from across
the country.
In the spring, there are five tourna-
ments before nationals.
Hernandez said she is excited to
see where she stacks up with the

JEREMY JONES
Sports editor
Derek Burgenske, Mat-
thew Gust, Justin Tune and
Luke Yapp each drove in
two runs as visiting Verona
capped its Western Section
regular-season finale with a
19-7 victory in eight innings.
Verona jumped out to a
3-0 lead through three-and-
a-half innings only to watch
Hollandale take its first lead
with five runs in the home
half of the fourth.
Anyt hi ng but det erred,
Verona posted 16 runs over
t he fi nal four i nni ngs t o
remained the Home Talent

team.
The Cavaliers scored four
times in the top of the fifth
and added six more to go up
13-5.
Hollandale putted up its
final two runs of the game
in the home half of the sixth
to cut the Cavaliers lead to
13-7. It was as close as the
Rockies would come though
as Verona scored one in the
seventh and five times in the
eighth to cap off yet another
undefeated regular season.
The Cavaliers have lost a
combined two regular season
games over the past three
years.
Having won four of the
last six HTL titles, including
three-straight championships
from 2008-10 top-seeded
Verona opens the Western

The Cavaliers beat Oregon

graduate Brittany McNett-
Emmerich this season and
has been in contact with sev-
eral seniors that are helping
her with the transition.
It is nice to know that they
support me too and what to
see me do well, she said. It
is a confidence builder for me
to know that I can still play
golf outside of high school
and keep going on to do good
things.
Remembering VAHS
Hernandez started learn-
ing golf at a young age, but it
wasnt until high school that
she began to work hard to
hone her skills.
And it also was beginning
of friendships that helped
shape her personality and how
she acts on-and-off the golf
course, she said.
She plans on repaying the
favor before she leaves for
UW-Stout by attending a few
tournaments and practices,
and also plans on cheering
Verona on as it tries to follow
up on a state runner-up finish
this season.
If they make it state this
year again, I will be so happy
for them and I will do every-
thing I can to get down there
to watch them again, she
said. They really just helped
shape who I am, and I really
want them to be successful
even when I am gone.

Clinics for a cause
Verona Area High School boys track and field coach Joff Pedretti
put on several free one-hour triatholon clinics for Verona Area
School Districts on Sunday at Badger Ridge Middle School to help
students prepare for the next Tri 4 Schools triathlon in Middleton
on Aug. 16.
Pedretti is also training for the upcoming Ironman Wisconsin race
to raise awareness and donations to the Tri 4 Schools program. Tri
4 Schools is a nonprofit organization that uses athletic events as a
platform to get kids active and fight childhood obesity.

the costly, quick-acting
bi-fold doors ($349,000)
and a fire pole ($40,000).
But the majority agreed
both were worth the extra
cost.
Were only going to
build this building one
time, Mayor Jon Hoch-
kammer noted, advocat-
ing strongly for the extra
seconds of response time
afforded by the doors.
The council will still
need to debate how much
concrete to put around the
station (whether to furnish
the back apron, not just the
front), and whether to use
colored concrete in part
of that area, considering
Verona Area Community
Theater could be sharing
the parking lot. And it will
need to decide whether to
pay for a glass partition to
separate an area where the
departments antique fire
station would be stored and
an acoustical partition to
allow the training room to
break into two sections.
Theres t i me yet for
those decisions and one
more series of bids yet to
be selected.
Three bids were rejected
for not having a qualified
bidder, though one that
could not get bonded could
be included under a general
contracting item. Three
others were significantly
more than projected and
the city will consider ways
to reduce the scope of the
project and rebid.
Drywall assembly bids
were nearly double what
was expected, and alu-
minum and roofing were
a combi ned $147, 000
over what was projected.
Cont ract manager Bi l l
Pennoyer put some of the
blame on a bad market,
explaining that it was hard
to find qualified bidders
because many contractors
are too busy right now.
As a result, the city will
look to resubmit most of
those for bids next month,
some trimmed down, in
the hope of getting a better
response.
Alders also agreed unan-
imously to go with a diesel
backup generator to save
$64, 000 and ski p PVC
roofing and a vertical setup
for its geothermal loop. But
there was vigorous debate
over the bi-fold doors and
the fire pole.
The doors, which open
about 40 seconds faster
than overhead doors, will
clearly improve response
time, and nobody was will-
ing to say the front doors
were not worth the cost.
But having the same sys-
tem in the rear was ques-
tioned more heavily.
Most apparatus will exit
the station through the
front, though at least two
machi nes and possi bl y
more in the future would
need the rear exit current-
ly those are a tender, or
a water-tanker truck, and a
brush truck, both of which
are mainly used for rural
fires.
Chief Joe Giver pointed
out that the slower motion
would cause more heat to
be lost during the winter
and the difference in the
two operations could make
a mishap more likely.
Al d. Heat her Reeki e
(Dist. 4) wasnt buying it.
People that Ive spo-
ken with or have emailed
me are flabbergasted at
the price, she said. Im
all for energy savings and
making sure our fire and
EMS personnel are well
cared for ... but if its not
going to interfere with that,
then I think we need to
make the hard cuts.
She was joined by Ald.
Dale Yurs (D-2) in voting
against adding both sets
of doors, but it still passed
5-2. Ald. Evan Touchett
(D-4) and Luke Diaz (D-3)
also expressed some skep-
ticism on the rear bi-fold
doors but voted in favor.
Touchett, however, did
not vote in favor of the fire
pole, and neither did Yurs
or Reekie, but it passed
4-3.
Giver said the fire pole
could cut 20 seconds from
the time it takes for fire-
fighters to respond from
the second floor, which
will house sleeping quar-
ters and fitness and com-
mon rooms. But months
before he had character-
ized it as somewhat of a
PR item and shrugged off
its utility, noting that not
every firefighter will use it.
And city administrator
Bill Burns reported that the
citys insurance carried did
not recommend the sys-
tem, as there are sometimes
workers compensat i on
claims from ankle injuries
and the like.
Still, Ald. Jack Linder
(D-2) argued that the addi-
tional way down would
be useful should there be
something blocking the
stairs or an excess of traf-
fic and the extra speed
justifies the cost and the
risk, particularly since the
most common and gravest
of work-related firefighter
injuries are away from the
station.
I think 20 seconds, if
its your family members,
your fri ends, coul d be
extremely important, he
said. Weve spent a lot of
money on this fire depart-
ment to make response
times quicker, and now
another 40-some thousand,
which is, what, 0.4 percent
of the total budget, you
want to cut the cost there?
In other action
The council decided
Monday to rescind an April
decision to amend the bud-
get by $14,875, as it would
have put the city in jeop-
ardy of losing its annual
Expenditure Restraint pay-
ment of $176,000.
The budget item will
instead be reallocated from
some unused staffing and
will fund a compensation
survey to determine appro-
priate wages for some key
city positions.
Mayor Jon Hochkam-
mer commended the good
catch by staff that pre-
vented what could have
been a budgetary night-
mare.
The council approved
changes t o t wo st reet s
in the Westridge Estates
neighborhood near Epic.
One will put a four-way
stop at Breckenridge Road
and Jenna Drive, rather
than just stop signs on
Breckenridge. The other
will remove stop signs
f r om Br eckenr i dge at
Glenwood Drive and add
them to Glenwood.
Pol i ce chi ef Ber ni e
Coughlin said the result
makes Breckenri dge
which contains the subdivi-
sions only exit to Northern
Lights Road more of a
throughway.

Dancing
with dogs
Amy Ammen of Amiable Dog
Training entertained an audi-
ence of more than 100 kids at
the Verona Public Library on
Thursday, July 24. As one of
the most popular events of the
summer thus far, the parking
lot was full and finding space
to sit was nearly impossible by
the time the show began.
Themed, Dancing with Dogs:
How to Be a Dogs Best
Friend, Ammen brought
up numerous volunteers to
explain the dos and donts of
doggie interaction.
In the end it was two German
Shepherds and a rat terrier
who stole the show.
Ammen used hand signals
and verbal commands to
communicate with the dogs.
Photos by Kathryn Chew
Above, Brady Rockow, 6, lets a German Shepherd smell his hand before he pets it one of the vital
steps one should take when meeting a new dog, says dog trainer Amy Ammen. First, ask permission
to pet the dog. Second, let the dog smell your hand. Third, pat the dog, do not hug it. Below, Ammen
picks a volunteer from a crowd of eager children to help her teach some fundamentals of dog handling.
Obey, Ammens obedient rat
terrier, sits patiently through-
out the show waiting for her
turn to be center stage.

enough to accommodate
a new high school, includ-
ed many contingencies,
and Gorrell said more time
is needed to ensure the
land is purchasable.
You dont want to put a
referendum in front of peo-
ple to purchase land that
you cant purchase, Gor-
rell said. That would look
bad. That would be bad.
The second piece of land
is undisclosed, but has been
discussed in closed session
multiple times at school
board meetings. The school
board had previously pin-
pointed separate potential
elementary school sites on
the north and south sides of
the city.
The contingencies Gor-
rell was referring to include
a long list of items, from
road access and zoning to
a stormwater pond agree-
ment. The access question,
particularly, is a big one, as
it has plagued the potential
projects at the site since
2007, when developer Ter-
rence Wall first attempted
development.
With U.S. Hwy. 18-151
to the west and the Mili-
tary Ridge State Trail to
the south, the only access
point is likely from West
Verona Avenue, as Gor-
rell indicated building an
expensive overpass to con-
nect to Paoli Street was
cost-prohibitive when
the purchase was agreed to
in May.
The district will also now
will have more time to sur-
vey the land and ensure it
suits the needs for a school,
another part of the contin-
gency agreement.
It just wasnt coming
together as quickly as it
needed to, he said. And
we need to be able to know
that the land is purchas-
able, so all the contingen-
cies are off.
Gorrell said an April ref-
erendum is now the most
likely outcome, but that
even to get that, the dis-
trict would have to get our
ducks in a row.
The delay in the second
land purchase and the lack
of finalization on the West
End is also slowing down
another district initiative
outlining the long-term
makeup of the schools, as
the district expects to grow
by triple digits once again
for the upcoming school
year.
That growt h has put
schools around the district
at or near their capacity,
and while the effects of
overcrowding arent being
experienced yet, district
officials want to tackle the
problem before they do.
Late last year, the district
formed a Future Schools
Committee, which first met
in May this year, to look at
what grade levels potential
new schools should include
and how to redraw bound-
ary lines.
That brought about a
school board discussion of
the districts guiding prin-
ciples, which have been in
place for over a decade and
helped outline decisions on
boundary lines when Gla-
cier Edge was built.
The board had decided
to revisit those guidelines
at the request of the Future
School s Commi t t ee so
committee members knew
what their limitations were
and could avoid bringing a
proposal to the board that
members would be unhap-
py with.
The principles include
a focus on neighborhood
schools and balancing
the free and reduced lunch
demographics around the
district. Those ideas often
compete with one another,
especially in the northeast-
ern section of the district,
where a majority of the
students getting free and
reduced lunches live.
But at the July 14 school
board meeting, board mem-
bers and Gorrell agreed
to leave the principles as
they were, deciding against
any changes to emphasize
neighborhood schools over
balanced populations, Gor-
rell said.
Al t hough t hose pri n-
ciples give a better out-
line for the Future Schools
Committee to work with,
it will not meet again until
the board votes on the sec-
ond land purchase current-
ly in discussion, Gorrell
said.
Gorrell said the most
important thing now will
be to ensure that the dis-
trict is clear on what it asks
voters to approve, whenev-
er a referendum does come
along.
We just want to make
sure that what we put in
front of the voters is some-
thing that, whether they
approve it or not, they can
rest assured that weve
done our due diligence, he
said. Thats kind of a min-
imum set of expectations.

Verona Area School District
New look
for VASD
District to unveil
new website Aug. 1
SCOTT GIRARD
Verona Area School Dis-
trict parents and students
looking for information on
their school will have a new
way to find it Aug. 1 as
the district unveils its new
website.
The site, run through
SharpSchool, a company
that specializes in K-12
content management sys-
tems, aims to offer better
navigation for residents as
well as making it a little
bit easier for our end users
who are actually devel-
oping and posting con-
tent, said VASD director
of instructional technol-
ogy Betty Wottreng. Work
began in April, she said,
shortly after a report from
Voss Communi cat i ons
highlighted some of the
current websites weak-
nesses, including poor nav-
igation, and offered ideas
of what a successful site
would look like.
Weve got a lot of great
stories to tell, and we want
to fold that in and do a bet-
ter job of sharing stories
about whats going on in
the district, Wottreng said
of one expected advantage
of the new site, which will
cost $16,000 to develop
and host in the first year,
and around $4,000 per year
thereafter. She cautioned,
though, that everything
wont be perfect Aug. 1.
Its a work in progress,
Wottreng said. The day
we go live everything will
not be completely done.
She recommended any-
one who finds issues with
the specific school sites to
contact that school, or con-
tact her with any problems.
Teachers attend international conferences
Connections with
others highlight July
trips
SCOTT GIRARD
Two Verona Area School
District teachers attended
international conferences
on technology in education
in July.
Karie Huttner, an edu-
cational technology coor-
dinator at Stoner Prairie
Elementary School, and
Verona Area High School
ETC Rita Mortenson vis-
ited opposite coasts July
13-18 to meet hundreds of
educators around the world
and take in sessions on
technology in education.
Huttner was among 150
attendees from the U.S.,
United Kingdom and Can-
ada who attended the Dis-
covery Educator Networks
Summer Institute (DEN-
SI) in Nashville, Tenn.
Mortenson was also invited
to the DENSI conference,
leaving VASD with two of
Wisconsins four invitees,
though she instead attend-
ed the Apple Distinguished
Educators conference in
San Diego.
Huttner, who has par-
ticipated in DENSI for
the last five years and sits
on its leadership council
in Wisconsin, even had a
chance to present to her
colleagues about her use
of 3D printing at Stoner
Prairie and her I make, I
learn blog. That allowed
her to share what Ive
been learning and some of
the mistakes Ive made,
she said. Huttner also got
to hear from other teachers
from around the world and
learn about the techniques
theyve used in their class-
rooms.
For a week you are sur-
rounded by people just say-
ing positive things about
what youre doing, and
that goes a long way, she
said. All of a sudden it
fires another idea that you
wouldnt have had your-
self.
But the most reward-
ing part, Huttner said, was
making connections with
other teachers that will last
into the school year and
impact her own students,
whether through a potential
partnership with a Cana-
dian classroom or simply
knowing she has someone
to go to with a question on
a new piece of equipment.
Some of the people who
are at DENSI are some of
the leaders in technology
education, Huttner said.
To be able to sit down
with them and for them to
say wow, thats really cool
what youre doing, you
dont realize that everyone
comes at it from different
directions. The people that
I look up to the most are
some of the most humble
educators Ive ever met.
Mor t e ns on f ound a
similar experience in San
Diego, where she was one
of around 350 educators
from more than 30 coun-
tries to attend.
Theyre really interest-
ed in making global con-
nections, she said of her
fellow conference attend-
ees.
Mortenson said her big-
gest takeaway was the pas-
sion she saw from every-
one there for education and
the ability to see different
perspectives of the same
idea.
It really opens my eyes
as to you kind of get used
to what youre currently
doing in your schools or
your district or your state,
and it just allows you to
have a different perspec-
tive, she said. It just real-
ly gets me excited, more
reflective on my practice
and makes me motivated
to want to do more for our
district and our students.
Mortenson said specifi-
cally, she hopes to look
into the idea of the district
creating its own textbooks
through iTunesU, a free
Apple service, stood out to
her after seeing a district in
Philadelphia that had com-
pletely eliminated its hard-
cover books.

Thats why we do these
events and try to raise money.
While Drew originally
had tingling in his body and
affected vision, he has been
symptom-free for the past
15 years.
Eds journey has been
much more difficult. The
father of two young girls, he
had to quit his job a year ago
because of the effects of MS,
and now uses a motorized
scooter to get around.
His seems to have been
different right from the
start, even though it didnt
affect him a whole lot in the
first five to seven years,
Govek said. The last cou-
ple of years, hes gotten
progressively worse, where
the whole left side of his
body is weak, and hes got
problems with balance.
Its just really hard on the
rest of us there are a lot of
people pulling for Ed and
hes got a great attitude, but
its really hard to see him
decline the way he has.
Biking for a cure
The Aug. 2-3 race, which
got its name when it used
to end in Beaver Dam, is
now in its 31st year, and it
will feature around 1,700
cycl i st s and vol unt eers
from the region. The event
will benefit the National
Multiple Sclerosis Society-
Wisconsin Chapter and is
expected to raise around
$1.5 million.
The 150- mi l e r out e
stretches from Waukesha
County Technical College
in Pewaukee to UW-White-
water on Saturday, then on
Sunday to the WPS Health
Insurance campus in Madi-
son.
There are a lot of great
biking runs, Govek said.
You realize that Dane
County is just an amazing
place for people to go bik-
ing, and its a perfect place
to ride your bikes and train
for events like this.
Govek said he hopes that
people who hear his per-
sonal story can use it to con-
nect with the many people
in Wisconsin who are facing
life with MS.
Getting the word out to
more people and making
them aware is one way to
try to increase the contribu-
tions for the research, he
said. There are all kinds of
really worthwhile causes to
support, and of course, Dane
County has a lot of events
like this. But this one for
obvious reasons hit close to
me, and I always appreciate
people making donations to
this particular cause.

Find out more
Wisconsin is believed to have one of the higher
incidence rates of multiple sclerosis in the nation.
It is an unpredictable, often disabling disease of
the central nervous system that interrupts the flow
of information within the brain, and between the
brain and body.
Events such as Bike MS raise funds that advance
research for treatments, finding a cause and a cure,
as well as providing services for those whose lives
are affected by MS. For more information, visit
bestdambikeride.org.

Maintaining
a presence
Drivers around Verona
Saturday night likely saw
more than the usual police
presence around town.
Thats because it was the
third OWI Task Force patrol,
which included the full fleet
of Veronas police cars as
well as officers from 13 other
departments around Dane
County. The officers patrolled
the area from 8:30 p.m. to
1 a.m. as part of an initia-
tive aimed at curbing drunk
drivers.
Above, drivers entering
Verona were alerted to the
patrol via large signs.
Right, a Deforest officer
speaks with a driver after pull-
ing them over.

officer checks a cars informa-
tion in his truck early in the
evening.
