Preliminary
referendum
cost: $190M
Would cover new
high school, athletic
fields, renovations
SCOTT GIRARD

If money grew on trees,

the Verona Area School District would likely have no
qualms about the potential
price tag for a high school
and renovation referendum.
As it is, school board
members want to find out

how the community will
react to a preliminary estimate of $188 million to
$198 million, which would
cause a rise in property tax
rates around the district.
Theres plenty of time for
the board to adjust the plan
to create a smaller cost, too,
but as it is, the proposal
would allow the district to
increase its capacity at all
levels with one project.
The cost, offered Monday

Santi Garrido (back left), who is entering his senior year at Verona Area High School, was diagnosed with Ewings Sarcoma cancer in the bone in his left leg in the fall of 2013. His cancer is now in remission, but he is finally getting his request
from the Make-A-Wish Foundation granted. Santi, his father Rafael (back right), his mother Diana and his younger brother
Andres are headed to Rio de Janeiro for the 2016 Summer Olympics. They leave on Aug. 8 and will return on Aug. 14 or

Santi Garrido sat down on his living-room chair with a little frustration on his face as he adjusted the
screws on his leg brace, but when the
conversation turned to his upcoming
trip to Rio de Janeiro, that annoyance
was wiped away in a matter of seconds.
Garrido, who will be entering Verona Area High School as a senior in the
fall, has been waiting two years for
the Make-A-Wish Foundation to grant
him and his family a trip to Rio de
Janeiro for the 2016 Summer Olympics the same amount of time his
cancer has been in remission.
The wait is finally over, however,
as Garrido, his mother Diana, father
Rafael and brother Andres all leave
on Aug. 8 to get a chance to see the
Olympic games in Brazil.
When we found out we were
going, I was pretty excited because
I have never done anything like that.
I was kind of speechless, Santi said.

anyone with an illness now.

Santi could have chosen anything,
and the foundation would have granted his wish relatively quickly. But he
had the idea of the Olympics pop into
his head, and he asked if it was possible.
Make-A-Wish made sure it could
work, and a little later granted his
wish. Now, all that was left was to
wait until the games started two
years later.
It is kind of like relief that I actually get to do something, Santi said.
The last time I traveled out of the
country was years ago. I am ready to
just leave this place at the moment
because when you are really on vacation you dont really worry about
anything like bills and dogs and stuff
like that.

In brief
VAIS pushes for

charter extension
Verona Area International School Governing
Council representatives
are still pushing for an
extension to their charter agreement, which
expires after the 2016-17
school year.
The Chinese Immersion charter school has
faced problems with
enrollment, but GC representatives told the
CIA committee that they
have a plan in place to
increase their numbers.
CIA members asked
administrators to follow
up with the plans and
make an eventual recommendation on what
should happen next
for the K-5 school that
opened in 2010.
BEST team
proposal
A district-wide behavior team has proposed a
philosophy moving forward.
The Behavioral Emotional Support Team, a
group of administrators
and staff that focuses on
creating consistency in
the districts approach to
behavior and discipline,
brought its proposal
to the CIA committee,
though there was not
time to discuss it.
The proposed philosophy calls for a coordinated system of positive
behavioral support and
instruction around the
district. It also specifically mentions that previous
practices have contributed to over-identification of students in color
for special education and
discipline.

beliefs. The policy specifically governing site council
roles will also have changes proposed, but those are
expected to be discussed in
August after the committee
ran out of time in July.
Board members stressed
to administrators at the
meeting the policy needs
to include language that
clearly states how and
when different people at
the schools can still have
input in the process. Part of
the proposed policy changes states, All members of

those affected by the decisions own and are committed to them.

Roberts said. There needs
to be a standard how the

can make a recommendation or some sort of resolution that doesnt carry any

Board members wanted to make sure all of

Letter to the editor
State of Republican party is dismal

Since Barack Obama was
elected in 2008, the main GOP
strategy has been to demonize
and delegitimize him, with no
attempt to work with him on
issues that needed the attention
of both parties.
In the first week after
Obamas election, Senator
Mitch McConnell stated publicly that his first priority was
to make Obamas presidency
a failure so he could not be
reelected in 2012. The GOP
consistently promoted hatred of
Obama, which was highlighted
by the GOP shutting the government down from Oct. 1-16,
2013.
Obama was painted as an
isolated, incompetent and
treacherous president. They
questioned whether he was born
in the U.S. and even qualified
to be president. Donald Trump
was a major proponent pushing
the birther conspiracy. Another conspiracy was that Obama
was really not a Christian, but
secretly a Muslim. Race baiting
and other hateful lies implying Obama is not one of us
have constantly been promoted
online.
This strategy made it impossible for either party to govern.
Both the GOP-controlled House
and Senate refused to carry out
their responsibilities, which
contributed to the anger of voters regarding their government.
In March 2016, Obama nominated Judge Merrick Garland
as a replacement for the late
Antonin Scalia on the Supreme
Court. It is the duty of the
Senate to give their advice and
consent by holding hearings
and a vote on the nomination
of Judge Garland. The Senate
refuses to do so, and hopes that

Trump will be the next president to make the nomination.
The GOP continues their
same strategy of delegitimizing
Hillary Clinton in a similar
manner. Their use of hate, bigotry, sexism and continuous
lies and distortions is the heart
and soul of their campaign.
A Trump adviser stated that
Clinton should be shot for
treason. At the recent GOP
convention, Governor Christie from New Jersey created a
mock trial format where he
went through an indictment of
Clinton, asking after each point
whether she was guilty or not
guilty. The crowd was easy to
incite, and they began to chant
Lock her up. Christies hateful self-righteousness comes
while he is immersed in his
own scandal. Five of Christies
appointees are being investigated by federal prosecutors
over corruption allegations, and
one of his close allies has just
pleaded guilty to federal bribery charges.
What can we do? Do not
vote for the narcissistic fraud
Donald Trump, or any other
candidate that traffics in lies
and hate-mongering. We need
to bring back truth and respect
for our political opponents. If
we cant do that, then our democratic system based on compromise is doomed.

Like other tech, theres

good in Pokemon craze
A
s my 8-year-old son
and I walked up Main
Street toward the Verona
Cemetery, cell phones in hand
and excitedly shouting out silly
words, we were spotted.
I know what youre doing,
said the man, dressed in light
clothes on a
hot, muggy
day, tipping his
worn baseball
cap.
I knew what
he was doing,
too.
If youve
been part of it,
Ferolie
or your kids
have, you dont
need any clues. Since its July 6
release, Pokemon Go has been a
worldwide craze, consuming vast
amounts of time, cell phone batteries and data while causing car,
pedestrian and bike accidents
and even shootings related to
trespassing.
But like so much other
technology our kids become
obsessed with, it is capable of
very good things.
Twenty minutes after we were
outed at the cemetery, we ran
into the same person at Tuvalu
we had spoken with the night
before wearing the same
sweaty outfit. It was easy to see
he was still trying to hatch his
rare egg by walking the required
10 kilometers.
Yes, walking is an integral part
of the game.
Certainly driving slowly from
Pokestop to Pokestop in a car is
an easier way to replenish essential supplies, and many people
do it. But nothing substitutes for
old-fashioned shoe leather.
Imagine that. Video games getting people physically together
in the same place, introducing
strangers to one another and
encouraging kids to get outside
and walk.
My mother would have done
anything to get my hands on this
game when I was a teenager, and
now its available for free.
It can definitely be dangerous.
Weve all seen Pokemon zombies wandering the streets, eyes

on their phones, not watching
traffic or worse, driving while
looking at their phones.
But with a set of safe parameters (look up when crossing a
road or driveway, stay on sidewalks, avoid major roads) it can
be good for the mind and body.
Its ultimately a viral version
of geocaching a 16-year-old
GPS-based treasure-hunting recreation that has roots in a 19th
century activity called letterboxing, something most parents
would be happy to see their kids
involved in.
I have met so many parents
rolling their eyes over their kids
latest obsessions and wish they
would just end, but there is value
in stepping into these worlds
with our children.
Take Minecraft, another
worldwide sensation with a
surprising number of positive
real-world applications. I cant
count the number of times Ive
been able to explain a concept of
geology, geography, agriculture,
metallurgy, automation or botany
in terms of the game.
Though it does tend to keep
kids indoors and glued to their
screens, its interactive when
played with others, and Ill take
that construction-and-discovery
process over watching videos
any day.
It can also be great family
time. My son and I fight and
build and craft magical items
together; meanwhile, he and his
mother explore architecture, aesthetics and design in the games
creative mode.
Some of us who grew up in
an age where computers werent
everywhere can be a little uneasy
about the way technology dominates our lives, how we drive
to work with a GPS, work on a
computer all day, come home to
our DVR and fill in the gaps with
email on our smart phones. And
then you look at your kids fixated on their devices and wonder if
theyll someday just be squishy
couch potatoes with superagile
thumbs spending their lives texting or even sending telepathic

messages while losing all
touch with reality.
If youre in that frame of mind,
it cant be any less worrisome
to see the proliferation of iPads
and Chromebooks in our schools
which this year will now have
one device assigned to each student.
But Ive seen some amazing
learning through them, both
recreational and academic. And
with the right supervision, they
are already providing opportunities we never dreamed of.
When I was a kid, we had a
pen-pal class in another country,
but we didnt get to share a video
screen with a class in Pennsylvania and critique one anothers
homework. We didnt get to take
a digital camera all over our
schools neighborhood to document the important infrastructure
of a city. We couldnt create our
own inventions and control them
robotically.
Now our kids can do all these
things, and they have a blast
doing it. The other day, my son
said he was excited to go back
to school and it was only the
beginning of July. What?
One of these days, the
Pokemon Go insanity will die
down and there will be another
hot trend that sweeps the world,
turning everything on its head.
But these games are getting smarter and some go well
beyond passing the time.
When I was a teenager, it
was Flight Simulator, the closest thing most of us got to real
flying. A couple of years ago,
I boosted my guitar skills with
Rocksmith. Before that, the
physics-heavy Angry Birds was a
ubiquitous fad.
Some games are mindless
entertainment, sure, but others
have gotten my son to do the
things Ive always wanted him
to do anyway learn, practice,
exercise, socialize and explore.

Though the Aug. 9 election is officially a primary,

it will be the publics only
chance to vote for many
countywide offices.
In left-leaning Dane
County, the Democratic
primary often serves as the
final decision for who will
win in the November general election, as many races
do not feature Republican
candidates.
Though a federal judge
recently struck down parts
of the Voter ID law, no
changes will be made for
Tuesdays election, and
voters must have an ID for
their vote to count. Find
acceptable IDs at BringIt.

Democratic primaries
for county offices are for
District Attorney, where
incumbent Ismael Ozanne
is facing challenger Bob
Jambois, and a three-way
race for County Treasurer between Patrick Miles,
incumbent Adam Gallagher
and Richard V. Brown, Sr.
Democratic voters will
also choose between former
U.S. Sen. Russ Feingold
and Scott Harbach. The
winner will face Republican incumbent U.S. Sen.
Ron Johnson in the general
election.
District 80 residents
Dane County officials

will begin a comprehensive
zoning code revision this
month.
The changes are a
response to complaints from
towns in the county about
the zoning process. Those
complaints resulted in a
new law passed by the state
legislature that allows towns
to opt out of county zoning
rules and create their own.
Towns dont have to

make a decision until early next year on opting out,
but the county has disputed
claims by the Dane County Towns Association that
some of its tax levy money
would go to the towns to
cover their zoning expenses.
The DCTA recently won
a judgment over the county
in a suit on that topic after
the County Board did not
grant approval for the lawsuit.
The countys timeline
The Verona Press
for the zoning review has

the board adopting the new
zoning in November 2017,
well after towns will have
opted out. Monthly meetings until then will take
place in the City County building in Madison
and at town halls around
the county, including the

2017, at 6:30p.m.
The first meeting will
take place Aug. 15 in Madison at 4p.m.

Guarding Our Tongues

While it may be a clich to say that everyone
has their own opinion, the fact that dissension
often arises from this diversity of opinion is worth
noting, and worth doing something about. Being
well-informed about social or political affairs may
be a virtue in certain circles, but not if it makes us
opinionated and difficult to be around. Even the
best of friends and close families can sometimes
be divided by strongly expressed opinions. It can
be difficult to hear others expressing opinions
which run counter to our own, especially in matters
of faith and morals, and it requires a strong will in
those circumstances to hold our tongue, but the
person who is quick to counter the opinions of the
opinionated comes across as opinionated himself.
As the saying goes, its better to hold your tongue
and be thought a fool than to open your mouth
and remove all doubt. So realize that we all have
opinions, and when we are asked for ours it makes
sense to give it, but otherwise opinions are usually
best left unsaid.
Christopher Simon, Metro News Service
Those who guard their mouths and their
tongues keep themselves from calamity.

Conversation starter
Coffeehouse, Mr. Brews

Taphouse and Orange Leaf.
The GPS-based augmented reality game already has
an estimated 75 million users
worldwide. They are swept
up in the gotta catch em
all craze, first made popular
in the 1990s by the Pokemon
anime series, video games
and trading cards.
Created by Niantic CEO
John Hanke, with help from
Google and Nintendo, the
game has been many years in
the making. But in a matter
of weeks, its spread all over
the country and will soon be
all over the world.
While some people praise
the game for its ability to get
kids (and adults) socializing and exercising outdoors,
others are concerned about
the increase of trespassing
and distracted driving. Police
officers remind residents to
respect private property, stay
out of parks and cemeteries
after hours and keep their
heads up while crossing the
street.
Shana Fisher, a manager at
Mr. Brews Taphouse, which
is right on top of a Pokemon
gym, has noticed the games
influence around the city.
Fisher, who is a player
herself, said that the game
brings people in here,
often providing the incentive
to at least stop in for a small
bite to eat.
I think its a good thing,
Fisher said. It gives us a
reason to chit chat.
M a r y O s t r a n d e r, a
youth services librarian
at the library who led two
Pokemon-related events in
July, said that the library has
two Pokestops and a gym.
Pokemon Go is a draw
for the library for sure,
she wrote in an email to the
Press.
The library also has a
Pokemon display in the childrens section and a scavenger hunt available for kids to
do whenever they please.
While attracting visitors is
great for the library, Ostrander said that the game also
has led to some interesting
conversations around the
library, including one she
had with a group of teens
about taking over gyms and
what cool Pokemon they had
caught recently.
This game is a really
great way for people of different generations to connect, she said.
Fisher brought up a recent
situation in which a table full
of kids came into Mr. Brews
with Pokemon gear on.
I was like, You guys
know youre on top of a
gym, right? Then they had
to all go grab their phones,
she said.
Playing together
The game seems to be creating many different types
of interesting interactions
between people. Cassie

and a Bulbasaur under her
belt.
She has mostly played at
parks around Verona, and
said that she even ran into a
friend at Veterans Park who
was playing it in the same
spot.
Kniess said that her
Pokemon-playing friends got
her into the game, although
she says she watched the
animated version when I was
little.
Ostrander, who plays the
game with her husband, said
they both grew up with
Safety first
Pokemon Go is a simple
game in a complex world
Pokemon: Library, parks, local businesses are hot spots

Continued from page 1
The Verona Press
Pokemon through the card

game, GameBoy games and
the television show, so we
were both excited about the
game.
The pair downloaded the
game the day it was released
in the United States.
Usually, we would get
home from work and my
husband would walk our dog
and I would start dinner,
she said. However, since
Pokemon Go came out, I go
on way more walks with him
and our dog.
Pokemon Go is basically a worldwide scavenger hunt.

At its core, its a simple game, with the basic
goal to collect Pokemon
a Japanese contraction
for pocket monsters. The
Pokedex includes 250
of them.
The soul of the game,
however, is more complex, as are typical massively multiplayer online
(MMO) games which
have become popular in
the past decade or so.
Unlike many traditional video games that have
a start and end, a finish
line, Pokemon Go leaves
the journey up to the
player.
Some might do everything they can to get to
higher levels, where they
get progressively more
useful tools and stronger
Pokemon. Others might
set their focus on the control of Pokemon gyms
(which are often located
a few blocks from one
another), for the blue, red
or yellow team. Another important goal is collecting the most different
kinds of Pokemon possible.
Essential to all those
goals, however, are two
things: visiting Pokestops
and collecting Pokemon.

Pokestops are located
everywhere, especially in
parks and cemeteries and
at landmarks like statues.
Those provide essential
supplies including balls
to catch wild Pokemon
and potions to heal
Pokemon after battle.
Wild Pokemon can be
anywhere in your car,
in your house, at work
but are most commonly found by the roadside and in other places
where there is lots of foot
traffic. So they might
be tough to find in your
suburban neighborhood,
but schools, popular
businesses, libraries and
Pokestops can be jackpots, particularly if a
player has cast a lure to
attract the wild Pokemon.
Another way to get
more Pokemon is by
hatching eggs, which
come by getting credit for
walking either two, five
or 10 kilometers each.
Each Pokemon caught
comes with candy that
helps players make similar types of Pokemon
stronger, so even if a
player has more Rattatas
than are useful, catching
more still has value.

Because so many players are out and about catching

Pokemon, the app reminds users to remember to be
alert at all times, as playing can become a distraction.
Verona Police Department Chief Bernie Coughlin
said that there may be benefits of playing Pokemon,
but dont become so distracted that you put yourself in
harms way.
He advised users to have fun, but remember that your
safety and the safety of others should be your first priority.
While Pokemon Go is not intended to be played while
driving, the reality is that people are getting distracted behind the wheel. Thats something the Wisconsin
Department of Transportation State Patrol wants to end,
especially since two crashes in the state have already
been attributed to the game.
Shortly after the game was released, the message
Drive now catch Pokemon later scrolled across interstate signs, and last week the DOT released a statement
warning motorists not to let the Pokemon craze drive
them crazy.
If you must travel longer distances to catch the rarest
Pokemon, designate a driver or check out free ride services in your area, the news release said.

Wainwrights gardens selected for beautification award

The garden of Sue and
Mark Wainwright at 217
J e n n a D r iv e h a s b e e n
selected to receive Sugar River Gardeners 2016
Civic Beautification Award.
This local garden club has
been awarding the honor
to Verona gardeners since
2003.
Sue and Mark retired
from teaching six years ago
and that is when Sue could
focus on her gardens. Over
the six years they have
created an interesting and
inviting garden in full sun
which enhances the front
entrance to their home.
This garden primarily contains well selected perennials.

The back of their home
is well shaded so they have
selected a wide variety of
plant textures. Sue said this
spring was the best yet for
the shade loving ephemerals in this garden.
Sue says her mother was
a devoted gardener but she
didnt feel much interest
as she grew up. Now she
shares her Moms passion
as you will see if you drive
by.

ANTHONY IOZZO
ANTHONY IOZZO
It was a learning experience

for soon-to-be Verona Area High
School junior Garhett Kaegi during
his trip to Australia from June 26 to
July 1 for the Down Under Sports
Tournament.
Kaegi who qualified for the
WIAA Division 1 state tournament
as a sophomore ended up taking
third overall in the two-day tournament with a 155 (78-77) to help the
United States defeat Australia for
the first time in 28 years, but it took
a practice round at Emerald Lakes
Golf Course to learn the conditions
in the area, before the actual tournament at the par-72 Palmer Colonial
Golf Course.
Since it is drier in the region, the
greens were faster than what may be
expected in the United States, especially in Wisconsin, and the grass
was different than any courses in
the Midwest. So besides adjusting
to putting speeds, Kaegi also had
to adjust to shots from the rough
around the fairway.
Instead of hitting down or sweeping through the ball, Kaegi instead
had to trap the ball or risk shanking
his shot.
I adjusted really well to the green
speeds that they had down there and
also learned how the course needed
to be played really quick, he said.
Kaegi also had to adjust to newer
pin placements on the second day of
the tournament.
And those tweaks are things Kaegi said he is bringing back with him
for his mental game. The reward of
being able to finish high in tough
conditions with good competition
was great, he said, but sharpening
his game will allow him to lower his
scores when the high school season
begins.
It gives me a lot of confidence
because coming back from there,

play other courses. It shows that I Verona Area High School incoming junior Garhett Kaegi visited the Gold Coast in Australia from June 26 to July 1

year, he said.
A trip to the Gold Coast

Kaegi received an invitation to
golf with the Central Conference
team in Australia back in October
2015. The invitation was due to
his scores during summer and high
school golf, which qualified him for
the team.
He jumped at the opportunity
and arrived in Australia on June 26,
where he played a practice round
with the team so the players could
get their swings back and learn the
courses.
After the tournament, the players
were able to check out some sights
with temperatures hovering around
65-70 degrees.
He snorkeled by the Great Barrier
Reef, which he said was really colorful and full of life, and he also saw
the cities of the Gold Coast, including Surfers Paradise in Queensland.
I made great friends down there
and really bonded with a group of
people I felt like I have known
them my whole life, Kaegi said. I
made great connections and had a
great experience.
Playing the
toughest
course in
Hawaii
Besides going to Australia,
Garhett Kaegi also was able
to visit Hawaii with the team
from July 2-July 5.
There, he played the
third-hardest course in the
world, Koolau in Kaneohe,
Hawaii.
Despite the course reputation, Kaegi said he was able to
play well there.
I can see why people would
put it there because the layout
of the course was difficult but
in hindsight the greens werent
hard at all and I think the
greens is what makes a course
hard, he said.

An itinerary
up in the air
Santi chose swimming,
gymnastics and track and
field for the events he
wanted to see. The foundation also included fencing to accommodate some
of the other 20 families
who are also in Rio for
Make-A-Wish sharing
transportation and staying
at the same hotel wishes, as well.
But there is a lot more
that isnt decided yet.
The Garrido family
arrives in Rio at 7:45a.m.
Monday after overnight
travel, and they will be
staying with the other families in the Hotel
Transamerica Prime Barra
during the week.
While the events Santi
chose are set, there is a lot
ConnectVerona.com
Rio: Trip begins on Aug. 8
that will be decided while

they are in Brazil, including other events or sightseeing.
We are leaving spaces
because they said a lot of
people possibly donate
last-minute tickets. So
we can possibly go and
see other sports too. It
all depends on what is
available, Santis mother
Diana said.
Then there is the possibility of going with
volunteers who help the
families see sights in Brazil, such as the beaches,
the Cristo Redentor statue
and others.
While the family knows
Spanish, Brazil is a Portuguese-speaking country, so the Make-A-Wish
Foundation is also sending interpreters to help the
families go into the city
and around.

Santi and his family will
be watching swimming,
track and field and gymnastics for sure, but there
are things that may also
open up when they get
there.
I honestly dont care.
Any event would be cool
to see, he said.
Make-A-Wish is providing money for the entire
trip, including the hotel,
transportation, food and
even some extra money for
the children to bring back
souvenirs.
That is why we are so
grateful for this, Diana
said.
But there can also be
donations in Rio.
The Garrido family was
informed that Make-AWish is working on having the families visit the
Olympic Village to meet
some athletes, and there
are several cases when

Football!
people donate last-minute

tickets to events that might
not be on their initial list.
A lot of the plans will be
made at breakfast each
day when the organizers
let them know all of the
options.
It is not 100 percent but
they are working on it. We
kind of have an idea, but
it is kind of, Lets wing it
and have fun and whatever
happens, happens, Diana
said.
Santi is now working
his last few days at Culvers which he said had
been very accommodating
during his time in-and-out
of the hospital before
his vacation begins. And
although the two-year wait
is finally coming to an
end, it is still growing on
his mind.
It is kind of difficult,
but I just try not to think
about it until we get really
close, he said.
That wait ends on Monday.

Besides his upcoming trip to Brazil, Santi Garrido hopes

he can continue his travels later in life.
He said he visited Mexico when he was two but doesnt
remember anything from that trip. He also visited Colombia, which holds family background, as his mother Diana
lived in Colombia for a few years and her parents still
resided there.
The only other country he has been to was Canada in the
Niagara Falls area.
But he would also love to visit Europe, Asia and Australia, and he even has a plan to go to Spain and backpack and
take trains to the Netherlands, possibly even going to see
the electronic music festival Tomorrowland at some point.
I want to travel. I like traveling, he said. Seeing different cultures will be cool.
HOCKEY
Santi Garrido was diagnosed with Ewings Sarcoma, a rare disease in which
cancer cells are found in
the bone or in soft tissue,
in his left leg as a freshman
during the fall of 2013.
After nine surgeries and 12
months of chemotherapy,
he was given the all clear.
Santi was able to go to
school without missing
many days from the fall
of 2014 to the summer
of 2015, but an infection
forced him to get a leg
brace installed with screws
in August 2015, which was
designed to grow his bone
back, as it is not currently
thick or dense enough.
I am fine now, but all
Santi will be needing to

take care of his leg while in
Rio, as the water will not be
sanitary enough to keep it
clean.
While the family has
received vaccinations for
common illnesses that are
found in Brazil, there will
also be physicians available
through Make-A-Wish that
could prescribe antibiotics
or other medication if needed during the trip.
Then there is the concern
of the Zika virus, a disease

Taking care
of a rare
cancer
of a sudden this happened

during the summer, Santi said. It is not as bad as
what happened years ago,
obviously. So I wasnt too
worried. It is just another
year of doing a bunch of
crap.
He will be visiting doctors after he gets back from
his trip to Rio on Aug. 14
or 15, and they will begin
to schedule how he moves
forward whether they put
in a plate and bar permanently or figure out another
process.
When his brace is finally
removed, Santi will begin
to strengthen his leg again
and should hopefully be
back to full health in a year.
As soon as this is all
done lets say we are
done by next year he will
be able to be like a normal

do all of that stuff, Santis
mother Diana said. It is
just a long process, but it

have symptoms such as
fever, rash and whiteness
of the eyes, but only one in
five people know they have
it.
Regardless, that is something the Garridos are not
worried about. It is technically winter in the southern
hemisphere, so nighttime
temperatures in the 50s will
help keep mosquitoes away.
And they will not be
near the jungle or areas
with stagnant water that are
highly infested with mosquitoes. As long as they
use bug spray, Diana said,
everything should be OK.

Cost: Potential projects include new high school, VAHS and BRMS renovations
Refining the plan
night by district referendum

consultants, would cover
a new 2,200-student high
school campus on the West
End, including athletic fields
and an auditorium, and renovations to the current Verona
Area High School and Badger Ridge Middle School
buildings.
Those two buildings would
be repurposed under the
proposed plan, with BRMS
serving as a higher capacity elementary school, while
the middle school students
would move to VAHS. The
current high school building
would also house New Century School, which could
expand from K-5 to K-8, and
Core Knowledge Charter
School.
New Century and Sugar
Creek Elementary School
would no longer be used by
the district, given their old
age and extensive renovation
needs.
But before the plan gets
too far, the district is simultaneously working with another consultant to put together
a survey for the fall to gauge
the communitys feelings on
a price tag and priorities in
what theyd want included at
a new high school site.
The increases in capacity
at each level are one reason
they are leaning toward the
high school first rather than
an elementary school on
another property purchased
last year, the Herfel site on
the southern side.
A school on that site could
be slated for the mid 2020s,
depending on what the board
would want as a capacity in
the Badger Ridge building.
With modern educational
spaces, that building could
have a capacity of around
800, larger than any of the
districts current elementaries.
The schools enrollment
would be far from that number initially, but it would
leave space for projected
continuing growth at the elementary level. Board members indicated they were OK
with that capacity, depending
on how the school would be
broken up.
The number alone doesnt
hold meaning, said Meredith Stier Christensen. I
want to see how those communities look. How do we
make the communities within a large school?
Theres plenty more for
board members to consider,
as well, as they move toward
an April referendum, which
would require an approved
resolution in January with
the ballot language.
Among the decisions
ahead: balancing the desires
of the educational environment with the price tag.
At public presentations
earlier this year to get initial feedback on potential
options, the district said a
$120 million referendum
would allow the property tax
to remain nearly level going
forward. A $200 million
referendum would have the
average mill rate rise about
$1.78 per $1,000 of property
value, assuming a conservative 4 percent interest rate,
district business manager
consultant Chris Murphy
said.
Were way over what we
were hoping to be at, said
board member Tom Duerst.
With that difference in

mind, board members will
consider whether to offer
multiple referendum questions covering different
levels of spending for different possibilities at the high
school site or put it all
together.
Representatives from
Eppstein Uhen Architects and
Findorff construction, both
consulting with the district on
the project, said its a common decision-making process
for districts at this stage.
This is the first step in
providing a conceptual budget, said Findorff senior
project manager Matt Breunig. Things change.
Breunig added that the
group will align the budget
constraints and the goals of
the district and come up with
a feasible plan.
The initial estimate
includes funds to build
another performing arts center, new athletic fields and a
pool at the new building. The
money would additionally
fund renovations at BRMS
and VAHS to make them
more suitable for the age of
students that would move in,
and create more collaborative
spaces for classes in those
buildings.
The board could cut the
cost by cutting or separating
some of those items out.
The discussion of changing the Badger Ridge capacity if it adjusted to an elementary school would affect
when that new school would
be needed. The lower the
capacity, the sooner another
school would be needed, the
consultants said.
Later on, the high school
would need an addition
around 2030 to accommodate its own growing capacity. The plan calls for a referendum for that project in
2028.
Approval of the 2017 referendum would not tie the
district to either future plan,
and would allow the board to
wait and see what conditions
are at those times, though the

cost of construction would
also rise with inflation.

Referendum breakdown
On the web
Survey coming
Board members wont
likely make a decision on
that part until after a September survey is sent out to the
community to both inform
and gather feedback.
Bill Foster of School Perceptions, which is designing
the survey, told board members it would likely be eight
pages long, mostly with
information to tell the story
of what were considering.
Our job is really not to
so much design or build
the building, he said of his
company. Our job is to say,
What is it your community
really wants? If the referendum reflects what the community wants, itll be successful.
The interactive newsletter, as Foster described it,
will have an option to fill out
online or on paper. Foster
expects an 18 to 20 percent
return rate on the survey that
will likely go to every VASD
household around the third
week of September.
Once we know how much
well be able to get and what
peoples priorities are, it goes
back to this group and they
try to reverse-engineer a
plan, Foster said, referencing the EUA and Findorff
consultants.
He encouraged the board
members to not solidify their
positions until they get that
information.
Let the survey kind of
inform you, he said. We
dont know.
Future referendums
The plan outlined by the
consultants Monday included two potential future referendums well beyond 2017.
If the high school plan
goes through and gets voter approval, it would solve
the elementary school space
crunch for a few years until
about 2026, according to
projections. The plan covers
that with a new elementary
school referendum in 2024.

Obituary
Sofia Luna
Sofia Luna
Sofia Helena Luna, age

12, passed away after a
6-month fight with cancer.
Her struggle ended on July
25, 2016 at Rady Childrens
Hospital in San Diego with
her family at her side.
She was born May 23,
2004 in Madison, the
daughter of Antonio and
Jenny (Aspero) Luna. She
attended Savanna Oaks
Middle School in Fitchburg.
If you met Sofia, you
instantly loved her. Her
beautiful smile, laugh, and
genuine love for everyone are just a small part of
what made Sofia so special.
She loved to dance, cook,
craft, talk with her friends,
and was the best big sister
her younger brother could
ever ask for. She enjoyed
helping others and had a

passion for her community.
Sofia is survived by her
parents, Antonio and Jenny; two brothers, Diego and
Yovani at home; grandparents, Nick and Polly Aspero, Rafael Luna and Carmen Castro; and numerous
aunts, uncles, cousins and
extended family.
The family extends their
gratitude to the community,
friends and family for all
of their support during her
illness. They draw comfort
in knowing how loved and
supported she was by all.
A funeral service will be
held at 11a.m. Thursday,
Aug. 4 at Memorial Baptist
Church, 201 South Main
St., Verona, with the Rev.
Jeremy Scott officiating.
Burial will follow at Verona Cemetery. Visitation will
be from 4-8p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 3, at Ryan Funeral Home, Verona Chapel
and again at the church on
Thursday from 10a.m. until
the time of service.
