Kind and Joyful Daycare is planned for the lot next to the new Pizza Ranch off East Verona Avenue.
A view of the proposed Arbys restaurant from East Verona Avenue.
Sayre noted that other

planned tenants include a
Jimmy Johns sandwich
shop and an AT&T cell
phone store. Slight facade
changes are being made
to conform with the space
required in each lease.
Commissioners had only
two questions the potential of additional monument signs (only if it were
to return for a separate
approval) and about why
handicapped parking stalls
were bunched up on one
side (to save space).
They were overtly complimentary of the day care,
which upped its design
considerably since coming for an initial review a
month earlier. Commissioner Scott Manley was really
pleased that his complaints
about its look had been

addressed, and planning
director Adam Sayre said
the building has come a
long way.
Sayre noted a question
about its pitched roof,
which matches the somewhat hidden Badger Prairie
Health Care Center to the
northeast but not much else
in that commercialized corridor. He pointed out that
day cares tend to want their
buildings to resemble large
homes for subconscious
reasons.

commissioners agreed that
a proposed Sherwin-Williams paint store next to
Culvers looks correct as

are oriented east-west,
while the current house and

most buildings further east

are instead parallel with
the street. The only notable exception would be the
Verona Ice Arena, which
is oriented with cardinal
directions but also significantly offset from the road
and not angled the same as
its parking lot.
Other discussions
The commission was
predictably cautious about
the large personal storage
facility despite being far
closer to industrial development than residential.
It discussed crime concerns (Sayre said it didnt
come up in a discussion
with the police chief, and
the owner claimed there will
be 12-15 security cameras),
as well as owners policies

about Veronas Exploration
Academy was absolutely lovely. She described the program
very clearly, and she managed
to capture her enthusiasm for
the academy quite beautifully. Plus, shes a skilled writer,
which speaks both to her own
hard work and to the excellent

instruction shes received in the
program. Id predict that, whatever direction her career path
ultimately takes, shell find
well-deserved success.

Verona lucky to have Chief Coughlin

I called Chief Coughlin to
discuss a business question this
morning. Once I was informed,
we ended up talking at length
about my familys well-being
after the passing of my husband
16 months ago (Editors note:
Clarks husband was an officer
in the Oregon Police Department before his death in 2015).
All I can say is, Verona is lucky
to have such a solid and caring
leader at the helm of its PD.
When it comes to compassion,
he puts people business before

police business - something not
to be taken for granted, as we
know firsthand. It was refreshing, reassuring and completely
healing for me to gain his perspective and support, especially
for our children. Thanks, Chief.

Finding adventure
on the scenic route
swung myself up over the side

of the narrow 10-passenger
boat that would take me into the
unknown or at least to the lesser
known. It wobbled unevenly as
I made my way to my seat, and I
immediately noted the absence of
life jackets and paddles, as well as
the beer in the hand of our captain as he fired
up the engine.
It was 9 a.m.,
and this was
already shaping up to be a

Dresser
than Grampa
Simpson.
In all my time
in Costa Rica, I have stuck to visiting places that can be reached by
car and maintain some resemblance
of civilization, but I wanted a little
more adventure this time.
I had always heard about Tortuguero, a small community on the
northern Caribbean coast. It was
in the middle of nowhere or as the
locals say, the anus of the world.
Therein lies Tortugueros appeal:
its proximity to the ocean and the
surrounding rainforest, and the fact
that it is only accessible by plane
or boat.
I would soon realize that just the
journey to Tortuguero alone would
highlight the trip.
The journey to get to the boat
had started in the capital city of
San Jose on paved roads and then
continued through a side-winding,
hair-raising mountain pass. The
route forms a part of a majestic
national park, but the scenery is
difficult to enjoy when you have to
be prepared for landslides, rain, fog
or a broken-down vehicle at every
turn.
After a couple near-misses, we
came down the mountain pass and
hit the hot and sticky Caribbean

lowlands. From there, the towns
became fewer and fewer and the
paved road eventually dissipated
into gravel, then dirt. Finally, we
were at a small boat landing in the
middle of a banana plantation.
We pushed off from the boat
dock and made our way down a
narrow waterway with the rainforest teeming on all sides, muddy
waters, and crocodiles sunning
themselves on the shore. The
waterway was littered with rocks,
trunks and submerged tree branches. Some of the trunks that had
been brought to shore had tribal
faces carved into them, almost as
if to warn the boaters of their trespassing.
From the incessant cicada bugs
to parakeet canopy chatter, the
sounds were amazing The only
thing not Jurassic about this experience was the missing dinosaurs.
Everything was going well
until we had to make a tight pass
between two tree trunks. Our boat
was about halfway through when
there was a big clunk and the motor
died.
An eerie, dead silence shuddered through the boat. The casual
chatter came to an abrupt halt. We
were stopped dead in our tracks,
no paddles/lifejackets and muddy
waters with who knows how many
predators.
I was recalling the tribal carvings and wondering if this was a
trap when I heard a splash. Our
captain had just abandoned ship.
Maybe he knew something we
didnt?
Instinctively, I was waiting for an
ensuing crocodile attack when the
captain emerged, standing in water
that was barely knee-deep. He
walked up along side the boat and
began washing the place where the
clunk had happened.
I dont like it when they critique
me, he chuckled, as he passed by
on his way to the front and calmly

pulled us through the rest of the
pass.
After a while, with the engine
back on, it turned into a guessing
game as to how he would navigate
the hazards. I began to notice how
he instinctively stayed away from
the sandy side of the canal and kept
us close to the rocky edge. You
could tell he had some experience,
or at least instincts when it came to
this waterway.
Id find out later that the water
level was at a record low, and that
only suffering one engine-stopping
clunk was actually impressive.
Shortly after that, we exited the
narrow waterway and entered a
more traditional river. We began
to notice scant signs of civilization
along the banks mostly boat landings surrounded by a few homes
on stilts.
We pulled into one of the landings to drop off some passengers,
and the silence was deafening.
There were no noisy motorcycles
or loud buses, as I had grown
accustomed to in my town. There
was peace and quiet.
This continued all the way to
Tortuguero; with the exception of a
few single-engine fishing boats, we
were the only ones making a wake.
The fishermen all used canoes, and
the most sophisticated ones had
small electric motors to drift in and
out of the river inlets and marsh
areas.
When the captain docked us in
Tortuguero, we all let out a sigh of
relief, as this officially concluded
our adventure for the day. I cherished that sigh, as I knew it would
only last a few days until we got
back on the boat to journey out of
Tortuguero and back to the paved
land.

The Town of Verona is

almost ready to begin building a new Town Hall.
With a written agreement
from Epic ready to buy its
excess land at a massive profit
and an OK from both electors
at the annual meeting and the
Town Board, all thats left is
signing contracts and a few
formalities.
The Town Board voted
Tuesday, April 26, to give
Town Chair Mark Geller the
authority to sign a contract
with JP Cullen for the more
than $3 million construction
project that will include a
new Town Hall, maintenance
building and salt shed. Cullen
is one of Epics primary contractors, and Epic provided its
architect, Cuningham Associates, for the design work.
The buildings will take up
six acres of the 43 the town
purchased in December 2014
for $700,000 from a bank that
had foreclosed on a home
there. Geller confirmed to
the Press that Epic would be
purchasing the excess land for
$2.4 million.
A week before the Town

Boards vote, town residents
voted at the annual meeting to
allow the board to move forward with construction. Many
residents had expressed some
hesitation about the timeline, wanting more assurance
that the land sale would go
through at the expected price.
Geller said he did not have
a formal, written offer in
hand that night, but he called
Epic the next day to get assurances the deal they had previously discussed could move
forward. The company then
sent over a letter saying it was
willing to pay $65,000 per
acre, which would total $2.4
million, Geller said.
For me, Im confident that
the deal is pretty much done,
but Ive also heard the message that everybody would
just feel better if you went
ahead and closed the deal, he
explained of his call to Epic
the morning after the annual
meeting.
The deal with Epic can be
finalized after the town completes survey work, approves
a new certified survey map
and gets the City of Veronas approval for the building plans over the next few
months, Geller said.

Delighting in the Misfortunes of Others

It is surprising that we dont have an English word for taking pleasure in the failures or misfortunes of others, given
how common the experience is. The Germans have a word
for this, Schadenfreude, which literally means harm joy,
and this experience can range from enjoying the spectacle
of seeing someone being punished who really deserves
it, to getting pleasure from seeing your least favorite team
lose, to the less respectable exper ence of laughing when
we see someone slip and fall. This is not one of humanitys
greatest attributes, but its universality suggests there might
be some function that it serves. Perhaps its just a way to
make us feel better, to feel that in comparison to those who
we work and go to school with, we really are superior. After
all, when I get an A and the guy behind me gets an F, this
just reflects my superior intelligence and better efforts at
studying. And if the guy behind me didnt study, didnt he
deserve to get an F? Perhaps the deeper meaning of this
experience is that it points to our innate sense of justice.
We want to see criminals punished and lazy st dents fail
their exams. However,we shouldnt take too much pleasure
in the misfortunes of others, and should remember that
compassion is the glue which holds society together.When
people get their just desserts, its okay to smile a bit, on the
inside of course, and not too enthusiastically.
Christopher Simon, Metro News Service
Do not gloat when your enemy falls; when they stumble,
do not let your heart rejoice. Proverbs 24:17 NIV

King told board members
two weeks ago he strongly
supports the move toward
personalized learning, but
he did not cite any specific
goals over the next year.
I bring general abilities
to the board, rather than a
laundry list of things I want
to attack, he said.
The 10 candidates interviewed individually for
a total of two hours last
month. But the most recently elected member of the
board, Noah Roberts, was

also someone whos willing
to take a different stance
than everyone else on the
board and the best ideas
come from constructive

Soon after, King was
appointed with no discussion and a 4-1 vote.
After the oaths of officer
were administered, Roberts
questioned the lack of discussion.
I just think we owe it
to all of the candidates to
point out our reasons why
before making a decision,
the 2015 Verona Area High
School graduate said.
Before the voting began,
board member Tom Duerst
asked about the process

and intervening weeks had
served as enough time for
board members to make
their decisions on whom to
approve.
At the end of the meeting,
Roberts again brought up
his disappointment in the
process.
As the meeting went on
I just became reaffirmed in
my disappointment of how
the process happened, he
said, reiterating his position.
Beres sharply responded,
You made your comment.
Procedure is done. Whats
done is done.
Theres no way to vet
out all the candidates any
more than we did, he added. Everybody had an
equal chance to state their
case. The board has made
a decision and its time to
move on.

interview.
She also stressed the
importance of communicating the districts successes and long-term goals,
especially on personalized
learning and growth, and
said sitting on the Savanna
Oaks Middle School site

perspective of the importance of those bodies as
the district moves toward
increased centralization.

not have dreamed of when

she thought of the plan last
fall at Homecoming was
passing the Prom Queen
crown she won last year to
one of those mentees, Elizabeth Paul.
Passing down the queen
tradition to Elizabeth was
very exciting, and I shed
lots of happy tears doing
it, Sarbacker said in an
email May 1, one day after
prom. Elizabeth being one
of my best friends, there is
no one else I would have
rather crowned.
W h i l e S a r b a c ke r a n d
f e l l ow m e n t o r A l l i s o n
Ruphard, who are both also
respite care providers, told
the Press before prom night
that the choice to invite
their mentees was not that
big of a deal, the parents of
at least one mentee certainly felt it was.
I hadnt really planned
on her going, at least not
with a date, said Kelly Strutt, whose daughter
Morgan is one of the mentees in the class.
The not that big of a
deal attitude may have
made it an even bigger deal,
added Janis Henslee.
Its unique for kids to

actually have that perspective today, Henslee said.
These kids dont see what
theyre doing.
The pre-prom experience
included a group photo
shoot at one of the students
houses, dinner at Grays
Tied House and a ride in a
Mad City Party Bus limo to
the dance itself, where Sarbacker said they danced
the night away.
Then we went to post
prom and had lots of pizza
and ice cream, took photos in the photo booth and
played in the bouncy houses, Sarbacker said in her
email. Some of the other
mentors agreed that this
prom was just as good, if
not better than our junior
prom.
Ruphard told the Press
she first met some of the
mentees through the cheerleading team, and has
become close with them all
since making the prom idea
easy to get behind.
Everyone in the class
is like my best friend,
Ruphard said. Its just kind
of going to prom with our
friends.

Library officials, past and present, said the window-filled interior, above left, dazzles newcomers and longtime visitors. Many Verona-area residents worked to give the library
its inspiring look during the design process, above right.

be, Wow, Kasieta said.
We didnt want your runof-the-mill box library that

itself to doing something

Eighteen months after the Verona Public Librarys

new building opened in May 2006, its director, Susan
Hedrick, left her job for the same duties in Waunakee.
In particular, she would guide that village through a
new library building process.
I came to Waunakee because I had enjoyed building so much in Verona. Waunakee came knocking and
said, Come here, were going to build a new library
and we want you to help us build it, Hedrick said.
After I came to Waunakee, there were some changes in the village administration, which really slowed
the project down for a number of years. Were back on
track now.
Theres hope for groundbreaking in spring 2017.
Does it have a bittersweet feeling after several years? It does, Hedrick said. But patience is
rewarded and were getting there now.

Numerous high-profile
exhibits ranging from
two on Abraham Lincoln to
African-American baseball
history have helped the
librarys popularity during
the last decade.
For four weeks in 2011,
for example, a 25-foot-long
dinosaur skeleton was on
display near the large wall
of windows, what some
librarians cheekily refer to
as the prow of the ship.
The librarys exhibits
have been supported by
American Library Association grants and funded by
the National Endowment
for the Humanities, said
Trudy Lorandos, adult programs coordinator. This
kind of national support is
rare and often goes to major
urban libraries, such as Milwaukees.
Being named Wisconsin
Library of the Year helped
r e i n f o r c e t h e l i b r a r y s
image among the public.
But current library director Stacey Burkart, who
joined the staff as a library
assistant in March 2006,
said growth in popularity
kept building over the past
decade.
Between 2005 and 2015,
Burkart said, library cardholders doubled as did
m a t e r i a l s c h e c ke d o u t .
Classes and events offered
jumped from 238 to 728
and participants in those
classes nearly reached
30,000.
Although books and materials remain the librarys
core, Burkart emphasized
the importance of extra
learning opportunities.
Those include an origami
class to film screenings to
scholarly lectures.
Libraries, she said, are
going in that direction.
director in Verona, Middleton and Stoughton. From

the moment he walked into
the Verona Library for the
first time with its 35-foothigh wall of windows, its
open spaces and access
among areas, he wanted to
be in Verona.
Like many, he said, he
stopped in his tracks and
soaked in the design.
Its what other places
should be aiming for, he
said. Not all places have
the same foresight and
resources. But not every
community is like Verona.
Very, very, very few of them
have that stability with an
Epic-like employer and the
foresight of an elected body
that can see something like
that as a need. Then to build
a space people want to be
in.
The library, however, has
one fault: It lacks sufficient
space for its staff. Burkart
said the librarys staff is the
equivalent of 17 full-time
employees. Staffing was at
about 10 when the building
opened.
When it was built, the
idea behind it was it would
last space-wise for 20 to
25 years. And that has held
up fairly well in the public
areas, said Burkart, but
not for staff space.
As the buildings 10th
anniversary approaches,
those close to the library
are quick to emphasize the
positives.
Burkart recalled staff
being blown away by how
proud we were, when it
opened.
People still bring in family and friends visiting from
out of town to show off the
building, she said.
Hedrick said, The community of Verona should be
proud of what they accomplished. Verona wanted a
public building that was
worthy of the community
and they definitely did it.
Lorandos said she savors
working in the building.
Every day I think that,
she said. Its such a privilege to work here. It truly
is.

Wildcats win a

JEREMY JONES
Sports editor
Coach Marks gave me great

advice. I mean 50 years of coaching experience hes got a lot of
wisdom, Traeder said. Whether
youre nervous or whatever, on
race day he knows how to get you
riled up and ready to race.
Going from a mile or two-mile
runner in high school, Traeder
could now find himself doing the
5,000 or 10,000 meters in college, while his high school 5K
will get bumped up to an 8 or
10K.
I really think Ill be able to
handle the transition well, especially with the new training that
Milwaukee has to offer, Traeder
said. Itll just be different workouts and different mileage.
Traeder joins Ryan Nameth,
who joined the UW-Madison

The seventh-ranked Verona Area High School boys

tennis team hosted their
annual invitational against
several of the top teams in

for the most part the Wildcats held their own.
Verona took two matches against fourth-ranked
Nicolet to start the tournament Friday afternoon, and
their duals against the topranked Division 2 University School of Milwaukee
and sixth-ranked Brookfield
Central were even closer.
Wildcats fell 5-2 Friday
afternoon against Nicolet.
Verona picked up a 6-4,
6-4 win by Will Tennison
over Jaden Aranda at No. 1
singles. The Wildcats also
got a victory from Patrick
Conley at No. 3 singles 6-4,
4-6, 10-4 at Sunil Sabnis.
The action continued
with a 4-3 loss Friday evening against USM.
While the Wildcats won
three of four singles flights,
they were unable to take
any of their three doubles
matches against either USM
or Brookfield Central.
Patrick Conley defeated
Nabeel Quryshi easily 6-0,
6-1 at No. 4 singles, while
Vivek Swaminath secured

month as a preferred walk-on in
front a large group of supports.
Among the supporters were
Traeders track and cross country
coaches, his VAHS distance crew
teammates and his family.
It was the culmination of a
nearly two-year long process for
Traeder, who said he started the
recruiting process right around
the time he qualified for the Division 1 state track meet as a sophomore for the 3,200-meter run.
Theres a lot of excitement,
he said. None of this would have

been possible without the support
of my coaches, teammates and
family.
Coming across NCSA (the
National Collegiate Scouting
Association Athletic Recruiting)
an organization that connects
middle and high school student-athletes with college coaches he began contacting coaches
shortly after, narrowing his top
three schools down to UW-Oshkosh, UW-Whitewater and Milwaukee.
I really loved Milwaukees
school of business, and I really
liked coached (Pete) Corfeld and
(Jake) Reilly of the mens cross
country and track programs, he
said. I really fell in love with the
business school they have there,
and the track program was phenomenal.
Traeder added that he also
loved the city of Milwaukee,

especially the UW-M campus
which is so close to Lake Michigan.
Contact with Milwaukee began
in December for Traeder who had
an unofficial visit shortly after
and attended a couple UW-M
track meets.
I definitely began to think
about running in college during
my sophomore season as my
times continued to drop into a
more competitive range, he said.
I sat down with my family and
we talked about whether or not
this was something I wanted to
pursue while I was in college
getting my degree. We decided
ultimately that it would be a great
opportunity.
Traeder finished 54th at last

cross country meet with head
coach Randy Marks.

Knueppel strikes out 11 as Verona tops Madison West

ANTHONY IOZZO
Senior Keaton Knueppel continued to dominate

on the mound Tuesday
as the host Verona Area
High School baseball team
topped Madison West 5-2.
Knueppel struck out 11
batters in a complete-game
victory and is now 3-1
with a 1.35 ERA and 48
strikeouts in five games.
Knueppel did walk a
batter, but his total is still
only at eight for the season, giving him an 6-1
strikeout-to-walk ratio.
Knueppel even stranded the bases loaded after
a c o u p l e o f d e f e n s iv e
miscues in the third by

striking out the 3-4-5 hitters.
He covers up if you are
not able to have a good day
at the plate or defensively,

said. We feel great when
he is out there.
Sam Favour (3-for4) doubled home Jacob
Slonim in the third, and
he added a 2-run single
to score Slonim and Ben
Rortvedt in the seventh.
Jason Frahm added an
RBI single in the third, and

picked up a single in the
first that didnt initially

Austin Cotharn had an

for West. Drake Baldwin
(2-for-4) and Eli Sorensen
(2-for-3) had multiple hits
for the Regents.
Knueppel allowed two
earned runs on seven hits
in the win.
Sorensen took the loss
for West. He allowed three
earned runs on five hits in
four innings, striking out
two and walking four.
Max Golden allowed a
hit and a walk, while striking out one in two innings.
Colin Pulkrabek allowed

Verona scored once in

the fifth to take a brief 2-1
lead, as a McClure sacrifice fly scored RJ Woppert. The Wildcats first

single by Steven Davis that
scored Mason Sergent.
Ben Weiland and Steven
Davis were 2-for-3 for the
Panthers, while Rortvedt
was 2-for-3 for Verona.
Reagan Klawiter earned
the win. He allowed two
earned runs on seven hits
in six innings, striking out
seven. Lund collected the
save by striking out the
side in the seventh.
Jordan Helmkamp took
the loss for Oregon. He

outscoring the Cardinals

6-1 for the win.

How long have you had your pet: 6-1/2 wonderful years
What makes your pet special: She is very well

When Buddy of Mine

call from a pet owner seeking
help, he can often hear the
raw emotion in their voice.
Those exchanges reaffirm
the powerful role the organization strives to play for people and animals in need. It
also conveys the bond those
people and their pets share
a bond that, in Eiferts experience, can be stronger than
any human relationship in
their life.
Pets give you unconditional love, Eifert said.
People dont always do
that.
Eifert, a longtime Stoughton resident, started Buddy of Mine named for his

themselves, they probably
need food for their pets (as

PuppyUp walk raises over Pet Talk

Tips for caring for older pets
$131K for cancer research
Over 1,100 humans and their 700 canine
companions gathered at McKee Farms
Park on May 1 for the annual PuppyUp
Madison.
The 2-mile walk celebrates the heroes,
honors the survivors and remembers those
lives who have been lost to canine and
Pets are more than just

our companions they are
a part of the family. As your
pet ages, it is important to
consult your veterinarian
for help providing the proper care for your senior pets
changing needs.
Every animal is different, so the senior life stage
occurs at different ages in
different pets. For instance,
dogs are typically considered seniors at seven
years old, but older dogs
age quicker than smaller
dogs. Cats can be considered mature at 7 years and
seniors at 11 years old.
Breed and species aside,
your pets genetics, nutrition, health and environment will ultimately determine when your pet is considered a senior.
One of the telltale signs
of increasing age in pets is
a decline in physical activity. For instance, previously
active pets may not play as
much and both dogs and
cats may need assistance
climbing on and off the bed
or couch.
Dr. Stacy Eckman, clinical assistant professor at
the Texas A&M College
of Veterinary Medicine
& Biomedical Sciences,
explained when pet owners
can expect this transition
into senior pet behavior.
A decrease in physical activity depends on the
breed, size and genetics of
human cancer.
The event hit a national record of over
$131,000 raised through teams, sponsors
and donors to further the study of comparative oncology.

House, of Fitchburg, while nearing the starting line for the PuppyUp walk.
the pet, she said. However, some older pets are still
quite active in their senior
years.
In addition to a decrease
in physical activity, older cats and dogs tend to
develop more degenerative
health problems.
A visit to the veterinarian every six months can
help determine what is
normal for your pet so that
any changes in behavior or
health can be detected early.
Aging cats and dogs are
also prone to arthritis, dental disease, loss of sight and
hearing and a decrease in
mobility. Just like humans,
pets may need more assistance getting around and
taking care of themselves.
Despite this change in
mobility and physical activity, it is important to keep
your dog and cat active to
slow the progression of
joint pain and arthritis. In
addition, a healthy diet that
adequately nourishes your
pet is also key in reducing
your pets risk for obesity,
which can also contribute
to joint pain.
The single most important aspect in helping your
pet stay as happy and
healthy for as long as possible is maintaining a healthy
weight throughout their
lifetime, Eckman said.
A healthy weight should
be coupled with regular
exercise and activity.
Letting go
Perhaps the hardest part

about having an aging furry best friend is accepting
when they are no longer
happy in everyday life. It is
never easy to let go of a pet,
but in some cases, euthanasia is the most humane
option.
Making the decision to
euthanatize a pet is a personal and difficult decision, Eckman said. The
decision is dependent on
what signs and symptoms
the pet is showing or what
disorder the pet is experiencing. When owners are
questioning if they should
euthanize their pet, they
should discuss it with their
veterinarian to help guide
the decision-making process.
As much as we would
love our pets to live forever,
they grow old and need special care. To ensure your pet
lives a long, healthy life, be
sure to visit your veterinarian regularly to discuss your
pets diet, exercise habits,
and overall health.

Re: Ehlers Summary and Recommendation Regarding

Closure of Tax Incremental District
No. 7. Todd Taves, of Ehlers & Associates, provided an explanation of the impacts of closing the TIF at this time. The
district is now in a position where it has
accumulated sufficient cash to retire all
current and expected cost obligations.
With the closure of this TIF, the city will
receive a one-time payment of an estimated $6 million. Additional levy authority of approximately $1 million will also be
created. At the same time, the property
tax rate will decrease.
Administrator Burns listed possible considerations for use of increased
levy limit funds: payment of administrative costs linked to the TIF; elimination of budgeted use of fund balance;
an increase in cash funding of mill and
overlay of streets, which offsets the need
for future borrowing for that purpose;
additional funding for replacement funds
which, again, could offset the need for future borrowing for capital replacements;
and funding the citys share of a potential
increase in the Fitch-Rona EMS operating
budget. Motion by McGilvray, seconded
by Linder, to direct staff to work with
Ehlers to prepare a TID closure resolution for action by the Common Council.
Motion carried 6-0.

At least one group of

Verona Area High School

The group of 30 traveled
to Peru to visit Machu Picchu and experience a different culture for the week.
Peru was a really amazing opportunity to improve

knowledge about foreign

cultures and build friendships, Jordan Pertzborn
wrote in an email. Staying
with a host family was an
amazing way to really see
what the everyday life is
like for people from Cusco,
Peru.
For Evan Fernandez, who
also went on the trip, it was
a new perspective.
Seeing a country thats
so vastly different from
what I am accustomed
to here was humbling,
and it reminded me that I
shouldnt stay so caught up
in my little world here at
home, Fernandez said in
an email.
Students also went out
on Lake Titicaca, ate local
food and climbed mountains during their trip,
which was chaperoned by
