Block schedule plan back for 2015-16

planning, intervention

The change aims to give teachers more collaboration time and


a dedicated period for intervention time with struggling students,
while also rewarding successful
students with more choices.
Not all students have the ...
ability to access their teachers
before or after school, VAHS
principal Pam Hammen said.

That becomes an equity issue.


The idea was, How could we provide an opportunity for students to
access teachers to get additional
support during the school day?
That had also been a goal when
the district first proposed the
block schedule in 2012, and the
schedule was almost in place for
the 2013-14 school year before

Not an emergency
Law enforcement agencies from around the area worked with
the Verona Area School District to stage a full-scale emergency
exercise at Savanna Oaks Middle School Tuesday. The exercise
included 11 agencies and more than 100 volunteers, some of
whom got their wounds put on at Memorial United Church
of Christ before the event. Fitchburg police chief Don Bates
said the event was a culmination of two years of training, and
that a third-party company was on-hand to review how they
performed. Another full-scale event will take place next year in
Verona, though Bates could not specify where.

a leadership committee voted


to delay the plan over concerns
about how the resource time
would be implemented.
That schedule had students taking four 90-minute classes one
day, with three different classes on
alternating days. The fourth

Last Thursday, the Wisconsin Grocers Association surprised Carl Miller with a community service award in an
informal ceremony at the back of his grocery store, the
long-standing Verona institution known as Miller and
Sons Supermarket.
The small, brief ceremony with fewer than 10 attendees was just how Miller preferred it.
He doesnt do it for the recognition, explained his
daughter, Andrea Miller, who had nominated him for the
award. Its just who he is.
He was one of three grocers in the state to be honored
this year with the WGAs Community Service Award.
During the presentation, WGA president and CEO
Brandon Scholz explained that the award was made to
recognize grocers who give back without asking for credit.
Miller, who has been involved in his familys grocery
business since he was 10, has used his business for many
years to help schools, chamber events and local organizations, a WGA press release announcing the award
explained.
They told me I was winning something, but I didnt
know what it was, he told the Press after the 5-minute
ceremony.

Safety fair
Resurrection Lutheran Church in Verona
held a health and safety fair and blood
drive on Saturday, Aug. 16. The UW
Med Flight helicopter made an appearance, as well as emergency vehicles
from the Verona police and fire department, Fitch-Rona EMS and Childrens
Hospital Emergency Transport Ambulance
(C.H.E.T.A.). The event exceeded its goal
of having 25 people donate blood to the
American Red Cross. There were also car
seat safety checks, cardiocerebral resuscitation and stress management booths and
other family activities.

Block: Schedule would offer

VAHS: AP enrollment
demographics improving

90-minute period on the


alternate days would have
been used for collaboration
time and extra support.
The new proposal instead
has students taking three
alternating 90-minute
classes each day, with one
skinny class 45 minutes
at the end of each day. The
other 45 minutes would be
used around lunch, in whats
called the A+ period.
Some students would
have lunch followed by the
A+ period, while others
would have the A+ period
and then lunch.
Although details are left to
be worked out, VAHS teacher Annalies Howell, who
worked on the scheduling
subcommittee on the project, said the basic idea would
involve finding which teachers would be available for
which of the A+ periods and
then assigning some students
to certain teachers. Other
students could choose what
teacher they spend time with,
if they want to at all.
What were hoping
this would do is provide
some flexibility, so if you
have a student that decided to stretch and take an
(Advanced Placement)
course and they need that
extra time with a teacher two
or three times a week, this
could be that time, Howell
said. The way that its set up
right now, that just doesnt
exist unless something lucky
happens, like your study hall
is with your AP teacher.
Hammen and Howell
told the school board Monday night they had studied a
group of other area schools
that had block scheduling
and found this schedule style
increased how many options
the school could offer.
I would love to see
teachers offer things based
on interest, Howell said.

We want to continue to
find ways to help kids connect to school.
Those offerings could
focus on students who dont
necessarily need intervention, but instead want to pursue an interest outside of the
normal academic subjects.
The group still has to
determine what program it
would use to schedule these
sessions and the interestbased courses, but it needs
to be an online platform,
Howell said.
An additional component
of the plan would be assigning students a teacher as an
adviser to provide a oneon-one relationship with
someone at the school. Students would meet with those
advisers for the first two
weeks of school, and those
advisers would then help
determine whether a student
needed intervention during
the A+ period or could have
more freedom.
As teachers would each
only be assigned a few
students a year, it would
also generate relationships
among students in different
grades who have the same
adviser, Hammen said.
We really like the idea of
having representatives from
every level, because those
seniors are mentors for the
freshman, she said.
Youre really able to keep
a small family group for all
four years.
Board members were generally positive about the idea,
though no vote was taken on
the proposal. The scheduling subcommittee at the high
school will continue to work
out the details throughout the
upcoming school year, with
no set date for further action.
It sure seems to be a nice
development, board president Dennis Beres said. This
seems to fit pretty well with
what weve been doing but
gives you that flexibility.

benchmark group, so what


we decided to do was actually change our goal, Hammen said. We still want
equity at Verona Area High
School.
Overall, the school saw
a tripling of AP enrollment
among underrepresented
students from 2013-14 to
2014-15, something Hammen was proud of.
Feeling pretty positive
about that, she said. We
have some more work to
do. Were definitely not
here to say were at full
equity. But our goal for
this year is to help ensure
that all of these students
find success in AP.

Investments finalized
The board also gave final
approval Monday for the
issuance and sale of promissory notes to help fund the
new retirement benefits system approved this summer.
Robert Baird, a national
asset management company,
won the bidding process
with an interest rate of 2.03
percent on the $9,220,000 of
general obligation promissory notes. Other local governments, including the City of
Madison and a pair of Wisconsin school districts, took
on another $24,960,000 of
the districts investment.
Those two loans will
fund the program, and
have an annual total debt
service of less than $2.5
million for the next 20
years.

Tax rate dips lower


State aid increases more than predicted
Scott Girard
Unified Newspaper Group

While no non-school district employees attended the


Verona Area School Districts annual meeting Monday,
the updated budget brought good news for district taxpayers.
In June, when the district first proposed its preliminary budget, it anticipated a mill rate of $12.10 per
$1,000 of equalized assessed value. Mondays presentation from district business manager Chris Murphy
showed that number expected to drop to $12.01.
He said that was a result of an even larger-than-anticipated increase in state aid, based on preliminary estimates from the states Department of Public Instruction
released earlier this summer. The rate would be a more
than 2 percent drop from last years $12.27, and would
save the owner of a $250,000 home $65 on their property taxes.
However, because that number is based on equalized
value, the true amount will vary from municipality to
municipality within the school district.
The budget will not be finished until late October,
when enrollment counts are in and state aid has been
finalized, though district officials are projecting an
additional 121 students from last years enrollment. The
total general fund budget is $62,097,110 for the 201415 school year, with personnel taking up the largest portion.
Those in attendance also voted 9-2 to increase the
school board salaries 2 percent, the same rate the district increased its administrative salaries.
It was Murphys last annual budget meeting, as he
will retire July 1 of next year. He has been the districts
business manager since 1990.
Weve had excellent stewardship of district resources under Mr. Murphy and I want to applaud you for
that, superintendent Dean Gorrell said as the rest of
the school board and other employees in attendance
applauded.

VAIS gets new director again


Earlier hire left for health reasons
Scott Girard
Unified Newspaper Group

The Verona Area International School has a new


director for the second time this year.
Stacey Struessel, who had been hired in May,
resigned from the position earlier this month due to
health reasons, Verona Area School District superintendent Dean Gorrell told the Verona Press.
Barbara Drake, who Gorrell said had interviewed for
the job when it first opened, was tabbed as her replacement.
The opening came after former director Amanda
Mayo, who helped to open the school in 2010, left at the
end of last year, calling it a great point in VAIS development for her to move on, as the school becomes a
full K-5 elementary for the first time in the upcoming
year after beginning with a single class of 22 students.
Ive absolutely loved my time at VAIS and Im so
happy Ive been able to grow the program with a great
staff and great families, Mayo told the Press in May.

After presenting a set


of troubling statistics
on Advanced Placement
enrollment to the school
board in December, Hammen returned to the school
board with good news
Monday night.
In December, she had
outlined the lack of underrepresented and lowincome students signing
up for the college preparation classes, despite a survey that found 94 percent
of VAHS students had college aspirations.
In 2013-14, 60 percent
of 11th- and 12th-grade
white students at a medium or high income level
were enrolled in at least
one AP course, while only
18 percent of underrepresented students were.
The school made it a
goal to reach equity, or
get each underrepresented
group up to 60 percent
participation.
Enrollment figures for the
2014-15 school year, following a number of outreach initiatives helped by the Equal
Opportunity Schools organization, saw an increase
among all of the groups,
though only a few reached
the 60 percent number.
AP enrollment among
white medium- and highincome students also
increased to 72 percent,
meaning the schools
benchmark has increased,
as well, Hammen said.

Many summer itches


can be handled at home

ing.
I look at my phone and
see that my cousin has
sent me a text.
Can you take a look at this
rash? he asks.
He sends me a picture of my
nieces leg and texts, Weve
tried OTC creams and it just
keeps spreading. I think it has
spread to my hand. Its infected
isnt it?
Summertime
is prime time
for different
skin issues to
arise and there
are remedies
you can try
before scheduling a visit with
Lee
your doctor to
prevent those
long waits at the office.
My nieces infection is one
such skin issue. She had something called allergic contact
dermatitis. This most commonly
occurs from contact with poison
ivy.
My cousin swore that hed
never even taken his daughter
to the woods, much less touched
poison ivy. I began to ask him
about the more common plants
that have a similar oil to poison
ivy, such as poison oak, poison
sumac, and stinging nettle, and
he had no idea what they looked
like.
These plants are less wellknown than poison ivy, so most
people dont recognize them.
They can be found in backyards
near wooded areas, around
farms, and can be low-lying and
mixed with other shrubs.

Because your body comes


into contact and reacts to the
oil, it is important that you wash
the area with water and a gentle
soap. Be sure to also wash your
fingers and your clothes. This
helps to break down the oil.
Unfortunately, the oil can last
for a few days, so when you
scratch, the oil spreads and new
areas of irritation can appear.
The rash will usually have redness with vesicles (bumps filled
with fluid).
To calm the rash, you can
gently apply cool cloths to the
area. If the area is very itchy
you can take an antihistamine
like Zyrtec, Allegra or Claritin
during the daytime or Benadryl
at night. You can also try an
over-the-counter topical steroid.
Also be careful when you are
in lakes or rivers because sometimes your body can react to
similar plants in the water. If
youre a gardener near the countryside, be sure to wear gloves.
Another common summertime
problem is bug bites, and they
can appear similar to infections.
Mosquito bites and bee
stings seem to be some of the
worst. Luckily, Ive never been
stung by a bee, but I react very
strongly when stung by mosquitos. Worse still for me is that
mosquito bites swell to about
two inches in size, and you can
always tell when Ive recently
gone to a picnic or have been
outside because the bites stay
on me for up to five days.
The biggest, and most obvious
tip is not to scratch. Scratching releases more histamine in
the body and causes the urge to

scratch to get stronger for longer.


Similar to the treatments used
for allergic contact dermatitis,
some people find an antihistamine cream helpful. Some more
natural remedies that may help
and are unlikely to hurt include
capsaicin cream, aloe vera and
basil.
A summertime rash that is
slightly more concerning is a
yeast infection, or candida. This
is more commonly seen by parents on their children as a diaper rash. This is different from
the previous rashes mentioned
as this is a type of infection.
Summertime is a perfect time
for yeast infections, because
yeast likes to grow in moist
damp places, like armpits,
groin, feet covered in socks,
under breasts or in other body
folds.
Unlike the other two rashes,
an over-the-counter fungal power or cream helps. This wont
stop the yeast from returning
though, so trying to keep those
body areas dry is most important.
Summer is a great time to be
out, be active, and have fun,
but it is also important to take
protective measures. Hopefully
being aware of possible summer rashes will allow more time
enjoying the outdoors and less
time in a doctors office.

three years, performing an
average of three shows per
week.
Along the way, Cring,
who is also an international
columnist, will stop in at
universities to do seminars
on screenwriting. Spirited

and two short films were
featured on PBS, according to a news release. The
program is described as an
entertaining Broadwaystyle inspirational show
with a variety show feel,
said Clazzy.
Its awesomely fun, she
added.
The first shows were
based off of Crings book,
IM: The Legend of the
Son of Man, but every
year they come out with a
different set of shows and
they know how to perform
on the fly.
Its becoming more
insertions of a variety of

Robustness and Resiliency


There are two ways to enhance our chances of survival:
robustness and resiliency. Robustness is a measure of
how much damage can be done to an organism and it
will still function. Plants are robust because they can lose
their leaves and the majority of their limbs and yet survive.
Resiliency refers to the ability of an organism to adapt to
changing circumstances. A tropical plant may be robust, but
it won't survive in a harsh environment such as a desert.
Human beings are hardy because we combine robustness
with resiliency. We are robust insofar as we can survive
without our teeth, could lose a few limbs, and some of
our vital organs are paired, such as the kidneys and lungs,
allowing us to survive with just one of them. Though not
as robust as plants, we are more resilient, since we adapt
well to change, as evidenced by our living in virtually every
environment on the planet. Religion is one of the tools that
help us to adapt. The Bible is full of advice on how to get
along under trying circumstances. The early Israelites were
enslaved in Egypt and then had to survive in the desert,
and even once they were established as a nation, they were
surrounded by hostile neighbors. This remains true for
them today, and there is a lesson here on the value of resiliency and robustness. Increase your robustness by staying
healthy and increase your resiliency by being adaptive.

the way they are to live and how they are to behave.

Q. Why should I get my duct work cleaned?


A. There are a lot of reasons why people get their duct work cleaned. The two most common rea-

sons are indoor air quality and energy savings. Through normal everyday life, we generate a great
deal of contaminants and air pollutants, a common home generates up to 40 pounds of pollutants
per year in their air ducts. These pollutants are then pumped through your air ducts 5-7 times per
day. This creates problems for people with environmental allergies, respiratory health conditions,
and autoimmune disorders. The other most common reason, is to save some money. According to
the U.S. Department of Energy, 25 to 40 percent of the energy used for heating and cooling a home
is wasted. Contaminants in the heating and cooling system cause it to work harder and shorten the
life of your system. When an HVAC system is clean, it doesnt have to work as hard to maintain
the temperature that you desire. As a result, less energy is used, leading to lower monthly bills.

you save energy dollars and look great at the window, you can feel even better. There
are many great window fashions which will preserve your views of the outdoors,
allowing varying degrees of sunlight in, while keeping harmful direct sunlights
UV rays from damaging your interiors. Some have the quality of reflecting what
overheats your room in full summer sun, saving you cooling dollars. The right
shading choice, mounted in the correct place can add tailored beauty to your home,
so you can save money and upgrade at the same time!

for seniors offer graduated living options. Many facilities have 2 or 3
levels of living that range from no care needed, to some care needed,

look around, visit several places, ask a lot of questions about activities and what price options
they have. You will find the right place for you. Planning ahead today will make the transition

your life such as investing. Youll want to work to identify your goals and follow a consistent investment
strategy. Knowing where you want to go and how you want to get there, can help make your investment
journey a lot less bumpy along the way. Also, work to know your own risk tolerance. This awareness can
help keep you from making inappropriate choices. And youll want to work to avoid bad habits, such as
chasing after hot stocks which can cool off pretty quickly. Finally, you and your financial advisor
should consistently review your progress toward your financial goals.

now the plumber has sent a lien notice. Can the plumber place a lien on our house?

A. Maybe. In Wisconsin, if a subcontractor files the proper lien notices, it can place a lien on your house,

even if you paid the general contractor in full. For the subcontractor to lien the property, they would have
needed to properly serve two copies of an identification notice on you, within 60 days of when they started
work or if after 60 days any lien is only to the extent of the cost of work starting when the lien notice was
served. The subcontractor would then need to properly serve a notice of intent on you 30 days before filing
a claim for lien. The claim for lien must be filed within six months of the date of the subcontractors last
work, and then properly served on you within 30 days of filing the claim for lien. If all these steps are

full, you may have a claim for theft by contractor, which can create personally liability for the owners of the
general contractor. There is also a very consumer friendly law called ATCP 110 which may provide remedies, such as double damages
and attorneys fees. Whenever you hire a contractor to do work on your house, insist on lien waivers from the general contractor and
all subcontractors who perform work on your house. Saul Glazer is a construction attorney at Axley Law Firm in Madison.

Q. What is the difference between a short sale, foreclosure and REO?


A. A short sale, also known as a pre-foreclosure sale, occurs when the lender agrees to

take less than the balance remaining on an owners property. The homeowner is most likely

Q. Skin Cancer in the Elderly.


A. While it is never too late to begin protecting your skin from damaging UV rays, experts say sunburns

Q. I feel like my eight year old knows if he argues long enough,


I will give in. How can I help this situation?

A. Children can be determined. If they have seen a parent cave

in to demands, they have likely learned that the technique works.


This situation demands consistency. Calmly repeat the statement
you made and keep repeating it in the same calm voice. If need be,
give yourself a break by walking away temporarily. (I think I have been clear about what you
need to do. I can see that you dont want to but its not a matter for choice. I will check back in
a few minutes to see how you are doing.) Stay strong and keep repeating yourself as needed.
When your child complies reinforce the action by saying, Im sure you feel better with that job
taken care of!

brushing sometimes misses some of these intricate structures on the chewing


surfaces of your teeth. Sealants are a thin resin material that is applied to the
biting surfaces that help prevent bacteria and other debris from getting into
the deep crevices on your teeth.
Sealants were developed about 50 years ago, but didn't become commonly
used until the 1970s. Today, sealants are becoming widely popular and
effective. Young children are great candidates for preventative measures like
sealants because in many cases decay has not had a chance to form. Childrens
teeth tend to benefit more from sealants because the pits and groves that are
sealed arent fully calcified. Most children tend to be pretty terrible brushers,
so sealants (along with brushing and flossing assistance from mom or dad)
help to get them through the learning process.

experienced early in life can cause skin cancer in later years. However, damage caused by the suns rays is
cumulative, spanning a persons entire lifetime in the sun. Knowing this, it may not be surprising to learn that cases
of skin cancer among seniors are more prevalent than in the younger population. Skin cancer among seniors is a
serious matter as over 50% of deaths associated with it occur in people over the age of 65. Perhaps this is because
some older adults are not aware of the suns continuous damaging rays or think the danger of skin cancer is not as
high as they age. Aging skin loses its ability to protect itself so it is critical that seniors protect their skin from the

sun. Wrinkles, decreased elasticity, age spots, dryness and other skin conditions make it harder to detect abnormal
cancerous lesions. Seniors who develop melanoma are not as likely to have a good prognosis as younger generations.
Early detection of melanoma can mean the difference between life and death. If a mole is raised, changes shape, has jagged edges, discolorations,
signs of bleeding or you notice other skin abnormalities, a doctor should be seen immediately. While not all skin cancer lesions are malignant, it is
important as a person ages to be proactive in detecting skin cancer. Regular self-examinations and yearly appointments with a health pro are crucial.

HEATING/COOLING

Q. How do I select a whole house high efficiency air cleaner?


A. Several different types of air cleaners are available today. The most basic types are

Dave Kaltenberg

made just to keep the HVAC equipment clean. The next type of air cleaner provides
equipment protection like the first type, and filters out pollens, mold spores, and pet
dander. These filters were originally developed for people with allergies, but are often
used as a good general purpose air cleaner. The last type of air cleaner is the electronic
type. They filter out the smallest of particles like smoke, viruses and bacteria. These
are the best choice for anyone with asthma, or otherwise interested in providing the
cleanest environment. Beyond efficiencies, the frequency of maintenance should be
considered when selecting an air cleaner. For help with selecting the right air cleaner
for your home contact Dave at OK Heating and Air Conditioning.

Q. How can I make sure I dont get tripped up by the new, higher brackets?
A. With new taxes on investment income and wages, higher brackets, the return of

phase outs and the survival of the dreaded Alternative Minimum Tax, managing tax
brackets has become more complicated and more important in 2013 and beyond.

Greg Andrews, CPA

A large gain in single year youre selling your business for instance - could put you
in the maximum rate. If you could arrange to split the gain between two or more tax
years, you might avoid those high brackets, and a lot of tax.
Exempt investments such as municipal bonds and the income deferral offered by
annuities are more attractive when rates are higher. Roth IRAs are another potent
planning tool.
Tax planning becomes a premium when rates go up. Give us a call if you need help.

PHYSICAL THERAPY

Q. What is a partial knee replacement?


A. A partial knee replacement, also known

as a unilateral knee replacement, is


considered when only one compartment of the knee has compromised articular
cartilage. This procedure has the following benefits: a smaller incision is required,
there is less blood loss from the procedure, the patient tends to recover more quickly
and the remaining intact cartilage of the knee is not disrupted. The existing ligaments
in the knee joint, particularly the ACL, need to be intact for a successful partial knee
replacement and recovery. Many patients will wait until the pain and/or damage

Q. With the start of school right around the corner, what recommendations do you have for
preventing back pain from heavy backpacks?

A. Every year we see more and more kids with neck, shoulder and back pain as a result of over weight

and/or improperly worn packs. Lets start by first getting them the correct backpack. A good pack
should have function first and fashion second. Find a pack that is sturdy, or slightly rigid as well as
padded on the portion that rests against the spine. This will protect the back and force the items inside to
sit properly. Make sure the pack has wide padded shoulder straps in order to help distribute the weight
Jill Unwin,
evenly. Look for a pack that has at least one waist strap and if possible, a chest strap as well. Using these
D.C., C.C.E.P
straps will keep the weight from shifting when you move. A good pack will cost between $50 and $150.
Finding the right back pack is only half of the equation; how you wear it and how much you put in it determines the risk of injury.
A pack should not be carried on one shoulder or below the waist. Both of these positions put undue stress on the shoulders and
back. Proper position is always on both shoulders and above the beltline. The weight of the pack should be no more than 10-20%
of the persons body weight. If your child does complain of neck, shoulder or back pain a thorough chiropractic evaluation is in
order to determine any damage to the nervous or musculoskeletal system.

Verona resident Kent Hanna turned his garage into a gym to train for the Annual Muay Thai Classic kickboxing tournament in Des Moines, Iowa. Signing up originally to
give him and his family something to do while his son was back from college, Hanna won the 2014 TBA-SA Sr. Welterweight title. His wife Kathy fought and won her first
of two fights at the tournament back in 2013.

Landing a championship kick

Hanna wins Senior Super Welterweight Muay Thai championship following two years of training
Jeremy Jones
Sports editor

From turning his westside garage


into a make-shift training gym to traveling to Iowa the past two summers
for the Annual Muay Thai Classic,
when Verona resident Kent Hanna
sets his mind on something he goes
all in.
Two years after walking into a
local martial arts studio looking for
something to do with his son while he
was back from college, Hanna found
himself hosting the 2014 TBA-SA
Sr. Super Welterweight Muay Thai
championship belt in Des Moines in
late June.
Getting in the ring, you can try

to describe it, but its something you


really have to experience, Hanna
said. You have your coaches and
team cheering you on, but when you
get in the ring everything around
you becomes really small. Its quite
intense.
Hanna started down his auspicious
past, walking into The Blast Muay
Thai Kickboxing PLUS studio back
in 2012 and decided to sign-up for a
free intro lesson.
It was around the same time his
family decided to join that he heard
several members of the club were
going down to the Annual Muay Thai
Classic the largest Muay Thai tournament in America put on by the
Thai Boxing Association-Sanctioning
Authority.

Hanna ended up buying and watching the pay-per-view fights. Right


away he knew it was something that
he could do.
I had never fought, he said. Id
always watched the MMA, UFC
fights and kickboxing when it became
popular in the 80s, but I never had
any inkling that I would have the
opportunity to get into the ring.
A year later there he was, winning
his first amateur fight in the senior
divison and losing his second to a
long-time trainer.
I really wasnt prepared for people of that skill level, Hanna said.I
immediately thought I wasnt going
to compete again because I was too
old and preparing for a fight is a grueling process.

Girls golf

Looking to get back to state


Anthony Iozzo
Assistant sports editor

Each season has been better than the last


over the past four years of the Verona Area
High School girls golf program, and last
season the girls finished WIAA Division 1
state runner-up.
With four returners from the state tournaments starting five, including two-time
defending state champion senior Jessica
Reinecke, the Wildcats expect to make
another run at the state title.
But as always, in one of the toughest sectionals in the state, it wont be easy. And
winning the Big Eight Conference wont
be easy either.
We finished very well last year, and
with four of the top five returning this season, I am hopeful that we can do well again
this year and hopefully improve on our finish in the conference, head coach Bailey

Hildebrandt wrote in a fall survey.


Reinecke, who was named All-Big Eight
Conference and All-State Player of the
Year last season, isnt the only one back
from the state runner-up.
Junior Bailey Smith is also back after
earning first-team all-conference and thirdteam All-State selections. Smith finished
10th at state last season, and she also tied
for sixth at sectionals and took third at
regionals.
Juniors Emily Opsal and Hanna Rebholz
also started on varsity in the playoffs last
season. Opsal was tied for 34th, while Rebholz was tied for 56th.
The one player on the starting five this
season that was not on the state-qualifying
team was junior Melissa Biesmann, but she
does have varsity experience and played
in several summer tournaments before the
start of this season.

Conference outlook
The Wildcats traded places with Middleton
and Madison Memorial in several tournaments
last season, but they fell three shots shy of their
first Big Eight title in school history in the conference tournament.
Verona would like to change that this year,
but Hildebrandt expects Middleton, Madison
Memorial and Janesville Parker to challenge
for the top spot with the Wildcats.
But Middleton and Parker both only have
one returning starter from their state qualifying
teams.
Madison Memorial, which fell 17 strokes
from state, returns three starters from its sectional qualifying team, including state qualifier
senior Claire Franken (tied for 29th). Seniors
Robyn Blanchard and Tatum Jones also return.
Middletons lone returner is junior Loren
Skibba, who took fifth at state last season.
Parkers lone returner is Kailey McDade, who
was tied for 38th at state.
Verona opens the Big Eight season at 9 a.m.
Friday in a quadrupel dual against Madison La
Follette, Madison West and Beloit Memorial
at Tumbledown Golf Course.
The Wildcats return to Tumbledown for a

Hanna: Wins amateur kickboxing title


Continued from page 9
Camp, Hanna also worked out several times
a week, rigging his garage roof to support a
140-pound banana bag (longer than a traditional boxing punching bag, fighters use for
knees and low kicks) constructing a 21 foot,
6x6.
I wasnt sure my 50 year old body could
handle it, Hanna said.
It took him about two hours to reconsider,
though.I guess I dont like to lose, he said.
I didnt want to have to think about that.
With no one in his bracket for a long
time when he signed up, Hanna decided
to move up a division only to have that
opponent dropout due to injury.

In the end, Hanna needed one fight


to win his title, going down a weightclass against Extreme Thai Boxing chief
instructor Sam Adams, who had moved
up a class.
My coach Mike Vaughn and I had a
pretty good suspicion based on his bio
that I would have a reach advantage,
Hanna said of Adams. So we worked on
strategies to keep him at long range.
While possibly trying it again in 2016,
Hanna said he doesnt expect to try to defend
his title next summer.
Winning the belt was really the main
goal, he said. I lived it every single day
workouts and nutrition. Ill never be in that
kind of shape again. Theres just no way.

The District 45 meeting


was very productive. District
Deputy William Paar had
past State Deputy and present State Deputy in his audience. He gave several good
remarks about our council.
The month of September
will start the charity fundraising events, a wonderful opportunity with the
Ironman Championships.
There will be two tents for
the event. The large tent
will be located on North
Main Street near the western entrance to the church
parking lot, and the second tent will be located on
Silent Street near the north
Jefferson intersection. This
tent will attempt to capture
the bus traffic, drinks, coffee and donuts, and several
treats will be offered during
the morning hours of the
event.
Join a committee to be
involved: A small group of
officers will be organizing
events to bring the council
into the limelight. Posters

will be created to illustrate


programming. Officers
have been going over pictures of the last four years,
enlarging several and creating large posters for display
during this drive to gain
attention within the church
and community.
Youth director Knight Bill
Kuchenbecker will organize three youth events that
will start at 10:30 a.m. on
the green space north of the
church parking lot, including a soccer challenge, a
free throw contest and Punt,
Pass, & Kick competitions.
Contact chairmen Clyde
Hellenbrand or Kuchenbecker to offer your services
for the events.
The Diocese KC meeting,
an opportunity to visit with
Knights from southwest
Wisconsin, will be held the
second weekend of September. The state deputy will
chair the event.
Thank you to Knight
Andrew Zielke for documenting the 22nd

Installation of Officers ceremony last month. GK Bill


LaBerge and DGK Clyde
Hellenbrand have organized
a fraternal year. Please make
an attempt to volunteer and/
or attend a monthly meeting
during the upcoming year.
On the horizon are the
Respect Life events during the month of October,
opportunities to volunteer
and offer help in many
events offered to gain recognition for KC obligation
of LIFE for all. Chaplain,
Father Vernon has offered
several opportunities for
involvement. The council
supports several of these
organizations during the

BOARD BUSINESS
Consider approval of minutes
Motion (Almond) second (Gauthier) to
approve the minutes from the May 19,
2014. Motion carried (7-0).
Presentation on proposal to stabilize other post-employment benefit
costs Jason Olson attended to present to the Board the proposal to stabilize
Other Post-Employment Benefits Costs
(OPEB). Jason, Dean, Chris Murphy,
Greg Verhelst (representing VAEA) and
Mariann Kropp (representing VESPA)
have been working collaboratively for
over a year on a plan that will stabilize
the financial exposure the district has to
ever-escalating costs.
Jason presented a power point presentation to the Board detailing the specific changes of this plan. Currently the
district has a pay-as-you-go model to
cover OPEB financial obligations, which
means the district has not pre-funded
post-employment benefits and covers
each years OPEB cost with money
from the general fund. In the 2008-09
school year, the pay-as-yougo amount
of OPEB was $819, 342; this year that
amount will be nearly $2.3 million. Those
costs are anticipated to increase to over
$5 million in the next twenty years.
The plan involves:
Borrowing between $30-35 million dollars (not through referendum to
be invested and paid back over twenty
years
Creating a 4 Tier system of OPEB
benefits based on proximity to retirement eligibility (age and length of service in the District)
The plan does not affect those already retired.

Chris Murphy attended to summarize
the 2014-15 Budget Brief that will be reviewed in detail at tomorrows Citizens

tax levy and mil rates. Chris noted that
these are only projections; the final budget will be available at the August 18th
Annual Budget meeting.
Chris also discussed a few important dates in the budget process
June 16, 2014 - Board will approve
a preliminary budget for next year (according to state statute)
July 1, 2014 Preliminary state
aide estimates from DPI
August 18, 2014 Annual Budget
Meeting
Review of Guiding principles used
in past regarding attendance area
boundaries As a result of questions
that arose from the first Future Schools
Committee, Dean would like to discuss
with the Board the guiding principles
regarding attendance boundaries. It
would be helpful if the Future Schools
Committee knew if the guidelines are
fixed points or not. It was suggested
that the Board meet at a special session
to discuss the guiding principles; a date
for this meeting will be determined at
another time.
Report on CESA II Convention
Renee reported that she attended the
CESA II convention on May 20th as the
VASD representative. CESA conducted
some routine business of electing new
members to their Board and they also
revealed their new logo. There was also

was done to make it easier for school
districts to utilize their services and to
better navigate their website to find the
individuals that they are interested in
speaking to.

Presentation of Exploration Academy Schedule Mike Murphy, Chad
Welty and Alexa Butzbaugh attended to
present to the Board the 2014-15 Exploration Academy schedule. Mike is proposing changes that would utilize staff
and staff time in a more flexible manner.
This includes altering late start Mondays
and not requiring students to attend on
those Mondays. This would allow students to work more flexibly and/or get
out into the community and explore
outside collaboration through work experiences.
Nine of the eighteen (50%) late
starts would be dedicated to staff working collaboratively on campus as well
as visiting with student off campus, the
other 50 % would be flexible time for

the charter schools throughout the state


are going to a more flexible schedule.
Consider action on preliminary
2014-2015 budget Chris Murphy attended to review with Board the preliminary 2014-2015 budget that was discussed at the last Board meeting. There
have been no changes since that time.
This is only a proposed budget and by
state statute this proposed budget has
to be approved by the Board prior to
July 1st deadline.
There will be several key things
that will occur between now and the end
of October when the final budget is approved by the Board. This includes approving the proposed budget tonight,
planning for the annual meeting in July
14th, and the finalizing of the budget in
the fall once we have all the information
on 3rd Friday count in September and
we have the final numbers on what our
state aid will be. The Board has to approve a final budget prior to November
1, 2014.
Motion (McCulley) second (Behnke)
to approve the proposed budget of $62,
097,110. The levy associated with that is
$32,971,819. That equates to a projected
mil rate of 12.10. Motion Carried (7-0).
First reading in proposed changes
to Employee Handbook related to OPEB
Jason Olson attended to review with
the Board the proposed changes to the
Employee Handbook related to the discussion the Board has been having on
OPEB (Other Post-Employment Benefits). There is proposed language for
each of the four groups; VAEA, VESPA,
Non-Support Staff and Administrative
staff. This was just a first reading, no action was taken.
Consider resolution authorizing the
borrowing of not to exceed $35,000,000;
and providing for the issuance and sale
of general obligation promissory note
therefor Chris Murphy, Jason Olson
and Phil Hohlweck of PMA attended
to explain the borrowing mechanism
and timeline for the changes that were
just outlined in the Employee Handbook. Denny explained that the district
currently has a large obligation in the
pay-as-you go plan and this allows the
district to trim and stabilize the financial obligation by allocating money to a
bonding resolution and pre funding the
amount of future obligations. This will
stabilize the districts annual obligation
to roughly $2.5 million and drastically
reduce the total obligation to the taxpayers. The money flows to the trust and
the benefits are paid on behalf of the
employees until completion of the plan
and the obligation is met in that trust.
Chris added that if the district was
not doing this stabilization, over the
next 20-30 years that annual cost would
increase to over $5 million for the plans
as they currently are. Also, the district
is doing this without going to referendum which means that we are covering
the $2.5 million pay-as-you go payment
within our existing budget; doing so
means no increase in taxes to the property taxes payers.
Phil Hohlweck explained the borrowing mechanism. The first step is to
approve the resolution authorizing the
borrowing not to exceed $35,000,000,
son thereafter finalizing the 20-year
permanent financing. Motion (McCulley)
second (Behnke) to approve the resolution authorizing the borrowing of not to
exceed $35,000,000.
First reading on Board Policy and
Rule 652.1 Employee Benefit Trust Fund
Investments Chris Murphy discussed
and reviewed the changes to policy
652.1 Employee Benefit Trust Fund Investments and Rule 652.1 Guidelines for

Miller: Longtime Verona grocer recognized by state grocers association


Continued from page 1

History
The Miller family entered
the grocery business in 1916,
when it partnered with an
existing local general store and
renamed it Stewart and Miller.
In 1950, it was renamed to be
Miller and Son for Carls dad,
Keith. Then in 1958, it was
renamed again to be called
Miller and Sons, for Adrian,
Greg and Carl. Carl took over
the business in 1997.
Carl and the store are recognized as the Verona grocery
store. Scholz said.
He added that Millers connection with the community
and, the fact that hes been
with the business so long
helped make him a standout
candidate for this award.
Miller said his family history, going back to when
Verona was a village of fewer
than 500 residents, contributed
to his role as a community
member.
As long as I can remember, (helping the community)
is what we did, and its the
way I was raised, he said.
Its part of being in a small
community, you have to give
back.
Today, he is continuing the
family tradition of passing
on knowledge by training his
daughter and nephew in the
grocery business and involving them in the stores operations.
Andrea Miller wrote in her
nomination letter to the WGA
that the business is technically
groceries, but what he knows

Associations 2014 Community Service Award.

is people, and that has fueled


his 50-plus years in the grocery industry.
And she said that personal
connection is why she nominated him.
Hopefully it will let him
know how I feel about him,
she said.

Community service
Veronans dont have to
look hard or far to see the
impact Miller has made in the
community.
Scholz found that out himself as he was preparing for
the ceremony to start.
Just as I was standing here,

a woman stopped by to ask


what was going on, he said.
I told her Carl was getting
an award for community service. Then she began telling
me a story about years ago
when she used to coordinate
a kids football team. One day
she realized the kids needed

something to eat so she called


up Miller and Sons and Carl
came and gave them buttered rolls before the kids bus
drove away. He just dropped
them off and left. He never
said its from Millers or anything.
Marked by his humility and

willingness to give, Miller


also supports all of the area
schools, is a regular buyer of
FFA livestock at the Dane
County Fair, collects daily
donations for the food pantry and hosts a Senior Day
every Wednesday, where
seniors get 5 percent off of
their purchase.
But it extends beyond the
exchange of money, the award
letter added.
Carls selfless and generous ways can also be seen
in his store, where he often
hires people with challenges
to afford them possibly the
only opportunity for a job,
as well as seniors who stock
shelves and countless students
to check and bag groceries, it
noted.
Verona Area Chamber of
Commerce executive director
Karl Curtis added that Miller
also gives to Chamber events
and is generous with his brat
sales for many organizations
in town.
Nobody in Verona
deserves this award more than
Carl, Curtis said. For the
things that we know that he
does and the things that we
dont know he does.
Miller, who will get the formal award presented to him at
the chairmans banquet during
the WGA Innovation Expo on
Oct. 15, at the Kalahari Resort
in Wisconsin Dells, said he
doesnt ever expect to get
anything back in return for his
giving. Instead, he said does
what he does because making people happy is kind of a
fun thing.

Verona resident receives award for rosemaling


Jan Norsetter of Verona

Folk Art in the Norwegian
Tradition at Vesterheim,
