Whatever Verona Area

School District voters
decide April 7 on the land
purchase referendum, the
school board and district
will have plenty of decisions left to make.
Superintendent Dean
Gorrell said the district
would have to wait and
see whether the referendum to purchase two
pieces of land and exercise
condemnation powers on a
third passes or fails.
Well just have to evaluate, Gorrell said about a
potential failure. We just
need to get the land.
If the $8.35 million referendum was to pass, the
issue of eminent domain
would move to the forefront of the conversation.
The board would also have
to make decisions about
whether to officially purchase the land the board
has agreed to with landowners before the option
agreement deadlines pass.
If it fails, the district
would have to look to
alternatives to confront
its predicted problems

Either way, Gorrell said,
theres another referendum coming, possibly in
the next spring election
one year away, for a parcel
of land to the north of the
city to accommodate the
citys planned growth in
the North Neighborhood.
The district was unable
to come to an agreement
with the landowner of that
property before the deadline for a referendum this
year, Gorrell said.
On the ballot
The question on the ballot for voters is whether to
give the school board permission to borrow $8.35

south of the city in the
Town of Verona, is about
18 acres at a cost of $1.44

Seventeen English Language Learner students

perused the shelves at
Barnes and Noble on a
recent Thursday morning.
They found books on
international soccer players
Lionel Messi, Neymar and
Luis Suarez, asking Verona
Area High School librarian
Teresa Voss if they could
include them in their mass
book purchase to stock the
VAHS shelves.
One even asked if
Badass Survival Secrets
was an appropriate book to
have at the VAHS library.
Ill think about it, Voss
told him with a smile.
The field trip to Madison was just one activity
Voss has put in place that
helped her win the Forward
Award from the Wisconsin Educational Media and
Celebrating 19 years as Hometown Veronas

Technology Association.
The award took quite a bit
of work from Voss, including submitting student work
examples, lesson plans and
evidence of professional
growth.
But she said it was worth
it, and she was totally surprised to win.
It was a nice way for
me to get feedback from an
outside source, said Voss,
who has been VAHS fulltime librarian since 2006.
It guides my thinking
about what maybe I should
be doing and it helps my
principal.
She also pointed to her
colleagues at VAHS
teachers and administration
included as key to winning the award.
This is kudos to all, she
said. If the teachers and
the students didnt use the
library, we wouldnt continue to grow the library.
The award entry included
praise from those very same
colleagues.
Voss is absolutely one
of the key instructional
leaders in our building,
VAHS English and English Language Arts teacher
Elissa Jones said in a news
release. She serves in so
many capacities, including
overseeing instructional
mentoring, providing staff
development that integrates
technology with personalized learning, and leading
us through the new Educator E ffectiveness system, keeping our focus on
teacher growth for student
achievement.
Voss was also glad to be
able to show her bosses that
what shes doing is something others in her field feel
is outstanding for evaluation purposes.
Im able to show this
is what I can offer, Voss
said. Sometimes I just do
it and its more natural and
I dont stop and think, Am
I telling people that Im
doing it? Does my administration know?
She said in her time as a
librarian, shes seen many
changes, but the most significant has been incorporating technology into students learning.
Making sure they understand the ins and outs of
technology, she said of
her responsibilities now.
Understanding whats
credible, who has authority
on the Internet.
But, she pointed out,
Kids still love to read and
they still love books.

City of Verona
Vaccine maker gets $700K TIF

Jim Ferolie
Verona Press editor
With little discussion and

even less drama, the Verona
Common Council on Monday approved a complex
taxpayer financing deal with
Fitchburg-based United Vaccines to build a new plant in
Verona Technology Park.
The contract provides for
$700,000 in tax-increment
financing, plus interest, to be
paid back by 2023, when the
district (TID 6) is statutorily
set to close.
Company representatives
told the Press on Monday this
was the last significant hurdle
they faced, with financing
expected to close by the end
of the week and groundbreaking planned for early May.
Though company officials
had previously estimated the
value of the 57,000-squarefoot building will be $20 million or more, the contract takes
no chances and has clauses
that guarantee the company
will pay, in some combination
of taxes and assessments, the
full principal and interest for
the citys bond.
TIF is a development tool
that pools increased property

taxes in a specific area from
all underlying jurisdictions,
including the local school
district and the county, and
puts it under control of the
municipality. The municipality borrows money and
pays back the borrowing
with the increased taxes on
the development under the
understanding that the development would not have happened but for the TIF.
In some cases, that developer incentive levels the playing field for a desired area of
the city against an undesired
area, such as in the case with
blighted inner cities, or helps
with site development costs.
In other cases, it helps a city
compete with other cities.
In this case, UV pleaded
that it would not have been
able to get financing for the
project without the TIF and
insisted that the expansion
will allow the company to
grow in ways that simply
would not have been possible in its current location in
Commerce Park.
Once the new plant is
up and running, in mid2016, the company told city
leaders, it will be able to add

manufacture of vaccines for
other species of animals that
it had previously been forced
to turn down because of lack
of capacity.
City administrator Bill
Burns spent far more time
explaining the complexities
of the guarantees than the
council did discussing them.
The council had agreed to the
deal in principle Feb. 9 during a closed session, and UV
adviser Mike Green told the
Press that attorneys had been
working on minutiae up until
last Friday.
The company is expected to
bring about 75 jobs to Verona
by the end of next year.
Alds. Evan Touchett (Dist.
4) and Luke Diaz (D-3)
called the deal a no-brainer, as the three-person UV
contingent flashed wide grins
from the back of the room.
Id love to see our
employment base get balanced in at least a small
way, Diaz added in an obvious reference to the thousands of his own colleagues
at Epic who work in Verona.
The structure of the deal is
like one the city made more
Council rejects tax claims, reviews traffic study

The Common Council
dealt with three separate
claims of excessive assessments Monday, turning down
two and approving a third in
accordance with a previous
lawsuit settlement.
The suit with apartment
management firm Apex was
settled after the 2014 assessments were already recorded,
so the claim was the only way
to consummate that deal.
The city then denied a
claim by Walgreens, which
not only had successfully
sued the city before but has
initiated thousands of such
lawsuits around the country.
In 2009, it got a $4 million
assessment dropped to $2.6
million, and the current claim
asks the city to drop a $2.8
million assessment to $2 million.
Alders and staff indicated
they fully expected another
lawsuit as a result.
Farm and Fleet parent company Blains Supply has filed
similar claims based on the
same principles, and it also
claimed excessive assessment
over its Verona store. That
109,000-square-foot building
on 15 acres is valued at nearly
$8 million, but the company
claimed it is worth no more
than $5 million.
The city denied the claim
based on Blains failing
to appear at the Board of
Review last September.
Each of the claimants has
90 days to appeal to the Dane
County Circuit Court.
Scenic Ridge traffic

The citys Public Works
and Public Safety committees agreed separately that
not only were projected traffic counts in Scenic Ridge
acceptable, but a four-way
stop was not warranted.
A quick traffic study performed at the councils
request projected a peak hour
of 189 vehicles in the morning at full build-out and if
all vehicles leave from West
Chapel Royal Drive, the
northernmost of three exits
in the subdivision. AECOM
reported that federal standards recommend four-way
stops only when the traffic counts are above 300 for
eight or more hours a day.
Both committees agreed
without formal action to have
Vote:
city staff paint crosswalks on

the road to help with safety,
but alders privately suggested complaints about traffic
were aimed not at fixing traffic patterns but at stopping a
planned 47-unit apartment
complex they essentially are
bound to allow.
Lincoln stoplights
than two years ago with Wisconsin Brewing Company,

Burns told the council, and
will similarly use a low-interest state trust fund loan. The
first payment is due in 2017
and total interest charges over
eight years were estimated at
about $112,000.
The highest payment, in
2018, equates to an assessed
value of around $6.5 million.
Even though a typical commercial building of its size
should be worth well over
$10 million (and this will be
far more expensive than an
office or warehouse building), manufacturing facilities
such as this are assessed by
the state, which is notoriously difficult to predict.
WBC, for example, was
expected to cost around $4
million for the building alone
but was assessed at about
half that.
The citys deal requires the
building to be 85 percent finished before there is any payout, and it must come before
June 1, 2016. No payment
will be made before Nov. 1.
Burns told the council the
building is expected to be
done by the end of the year.
The city approved site
plans and conditional use
permits for the facility a
combination of laboratory,
warehouse and offices earlier this month. It is expected
to operate side by side with
the Fitchburg plant until the
end of 2016, and then all the
employees will work from
Verona.
The new plant allows the
company to expand its workforce by about 50 percent
immediately and leaves room
for a 25,000-square-foot
expansion that company officials hinted last month could

be used right away if theyd
had a budget that allowed for
that much construction.
Green, the project manager, told the Press the extra
space will allow UV to
expand its product line of
vaccines which currently
are limited to the niche market of fur-bearing animals
into livestock, domesticated
animals, exotics and zoo animals, among others.
UV is a 55-year-old biotechnology company that
first became independent
in 2006, when it moved to
Fitchburg. It expanded its
current building by 12,000
square feet in 2012.
Green said he expected
to receive term letters Tuesday and the TIF deal was the
final financing contingency.

Letters to the editor
Verona values mirror personal

values of Dist. 3 candidate Wealti
Dist. 3 is about to elect an alder
for the next two years that will
represent them on the city council.
They have a choice between
a lifelong Verona area resident
and the incumbent Luke Diaz.
Rod Wealti has a deep historical
knowledge of Verona that will
serve the city council very well.
Rod is basing his campaign on
values he has lived by and hopes
those values become part of Veronas values as well.
Those values are for adequate
growth, both industrial and residential. Growth in this city must
not be dependent on Epic, it must
contain other industrial growth,
residential growth and growth
in our downtown that will help
make Verona a destination, not
just a place to drive through to get
to Madison, Mt. Horeb or New
Glarus. Responsible growth keeps
taxes low.
Limited debt. We all know
how important good roads are,
how purchasing land to make our

downtown more vibrant, but to
place our city further in debt isnt
always wise. Rod Wealti proposes city finances be like personal
finance, budgets based on paying
the bills, keeping taxes affordable
so residents are not taxed out of
their homes and allow only reasonable, affordable debt,.
Rod also feels that unless we as
humans are 100 percent transparent, transparency in government
will not be 100 percent transparent either. Government should
be as open and transparent as possible so the taxpayers know what
is going on in their community.
That said, the voters have a clear
choice, its up to them to decide
the future of the Verona City
Council.

Diaz is a proven leader in Verona

As a lifelong Verona Resident,
I am pleased that Luke Diaz has
been a leader on the Verona City
Council. He represents most of
the same area I once did on the
City Council and has done a great
job in that role.
Luke is devoted to ensuring
Verona remains a great place to
work and live. He and his wife are
raising their young son in Verona
and he has worked here for over a
decade.
Luke consistently challenges
the city government to think first
about what is best for Verona.
He has advocated for expanding
services provided by the Senior

Center, Library and Public Works
Department. Verona is a wonderful place to live, due in large part
to these services and voters need
an advocate like Luke Diaz protecting and expanding them.
Lukes record speaks for itself.
I encourage all District 3 voters to
support a true leader: Luke Diaz.

Justice, referendum votes important for Supreme Court

Spring elections are notorious
for low turnout. However, the
results can affect how our state
is governed for years to come.
There is no better example than
this Aprils election regarding the
Wisconsin Supreme Court.
The vote for a Justice will
affect the makeup of Wisconsins highest appellate court for
a decade to come. Also, if the
Supreme Court referendum on
the ballot were passed, it would
alter Wisconsins Constitution. It
is, indeed, a very important election.
When choosing a Justice, the
most important trait we want in a
candidate is impartiality. Justice
Ann Walsh Bradley has served

with distinction for two decades,
with a proven record of judicial
independence. Bradley has said,
When people come to court, I
dont ask if theyre Republican
or Democrat. Wisconsin deserves
judges who are fair, impartial,
and nonpartisan.
The same philosophy cannot be
said to be held by her opponent.
He has aligned himself wholeheartedly with the current majority party. One of his ads states that
these are historic times for Wisconsin. Unfortunately, plans to
stop the common-sense changes
Gov. Scott Walker is making are
already being made.
He describes Justice Bradley as

a threat to block the commonsense reforms that are moving
Wisconsin forward.
Whether you agree or disagree
with the current regimes actions,
Wisconsins Supreme Court Justices should not act as political
cheerleaders, but as impartial
judges. Only one candidate meets
that threshold of impartiality, and
she is running for reelection. Our
votes and support will be for Ann
Walsh Bradley on April 7, and
no to the politically motivated
Constitutional Referendum.

The most important election

this year is the one on April 7 for
Supreme Court. While the ads
with the scary lady voice will
most likely talk about crime.The
Supreme Court rarely deals with
criminal cases.
Their focus instead is on key
civil cases related to state law and
how it affects Wisconsin citizens
under our constitution.Given the
massive rule changes in the proposed state budget,the Supreme
Courts cases will more likely

involve citizens right to vote,
environmental issues like tainted
wells, the states more aggressive tax audits, seniors access to
health care and local control of
schools than crime.
Justice Ann Walsh Bradley
has years of experience on the
Supreme Court. She also has an
election committee that is bipartisan (including Dale Schultz and
others), a refreshing rarity at this
point in our states history. We

need a judge who is independent and fair as increasingly our
states policies are driven by out
of state political donors.
Please vote for Judge Ann
Bradley on April 7. Absentee ballots are available now. It is the
most important thing you can do
this year to preserve your rights.

Voting yes on VASD land referendum would save money

Im writing to urge Verona residents to vote yes on the upcoming school referendum.
For my husband and me, a yes
vote is all about saving money:
The land deals that the school
board has worked out, at their
current prices and interest rates,
will only be available for a limited time. If we miss this opportunity, the window closes, so to
speak. Deadlines pass, interest
rates increase, agreements expire
and landowners are free to pursue
other, potentially more lucrative

options with other buyers.
And if we lose out on these
particular pieces of land, so wellplaced for the schools needs,
whos to say what might or might
not be available in the future, and
at what cost?
Its clear that Verona schools
need more space. Some of our
elementary schools are already
over capacity, as are some areas
of the high school, and the district is growing. Our own sons
graduated in 2003 and 2005, but

other children deserve the same
excellent education (including adequate space) that ours
received, plus, an educated populace benefits us all.
In the long run, a yes vote now
saves us greater expenditures,
and headaches, down the line.

Vote Diaz for Dist. 3
Too soon for referendum
As a Dist. 3 Verona resident, Im writing

to express my support of Alder Luke Diazs
re-election.
Luke is hard-working and very responsive
to constituent concerns. I can vouch from
personal experience.
I also support his efforts to improve the
way the city of Verona communicates with
residents. Government at all levels could use
more transparency.
I urge you to vote for Luke on April 7.
The referendum to purchase land for future schools is

premature because the VASD has not yet fully explored all
of the options.
According to the districts Long-Range Facilities Plan,
the majority of Veronas projected future growth is in the
North neighborhood but VASD did not have time to pursue land in that area before the filing deadline.
The VASD should take the time necessary to fully analyze and explain to taxpayers the pros and cons of EACH
of the viable purchase options. Until that happens, we urge
you to vote no on purchasing land for a long-term plan.

Dont Worry About Your Own Happiness

One of the supreme ironies of human nature is the fact
that being overly concerned about our own happiness
usually diminishes it, while working diligently to improve
the welfare of others usually adds to our own happiness.
And, while it is true that we should be the primary caretakers of our own welfare, and should tend to our own
health, education and well-being with care, it is still the
case that being overly concerned with our own happiness almost always interferes with it. Happiness is usually a byproduct of other activities. Perform your work well
and youll probably feel good about it. Cultivating your
relationships with family and friends pays big dividends
in terms of our happiness. Limit your desires for material things. Greed and envy are preventable obstacles to
happiness; money and material things are a very fleeting
source of satisfaction. So, do what you can to help others, and do it with a pure heart, seeking only the good of
the other and not your own.
Christopher Simon

Officials have identified

the victim of a fatal crash
in the Town of Montrose as
27-year-old Jeremy Schnabel of Madison.
Dane County Medical
Examiner Barry Irmen said
in a news release that preliminary results indicate
Schnabel died from injuries
sustained in a car crash last
week.
According to a news
release from the Dane
County Sheriffs Office,
Schnabel was pronounced
dead after police responded
around 6 a.m. March 17 to a
single-vehicle crash on Sun
Valley Parkway.
He had lost control of the
truck while driving west
on Sun Valley Parkway

and struck a guard rail and
bridge railing.
The driver was not wearing a seatbelt, and speed
is also considered to be a
contributing factor in the
crash, DCSO public information officer Elise Schaffer said in a news release.
DCSO deputies, along
with Verona police, Belleville fire and EMS and
Fitch-Rona EMS, were
called to the scene. UW
MedFlight responded but
Schnabel was pronounced
dead at the scene.
The crash remains under
investigation.

A New Glarus man is in
jail following an attempted
burglary in the Town of
Montrose.
Dane County Sheriffs
deputies responded around
9:15 a.m., Monday, March
23, to the 6000 block of
Sun Valley Parkway after a
homeowner went to check
on a noise in his basement
and discovered the burglar.
The burglar fled out
the back door of the residence, the same way he
entered, DCSO public
information officer Elise
Schaffer said in a news
release. However, the
victim was able to provide
the 911 dispatcher with a

very detailed description
of the suspect, along with
a description of his 1999
Chevrolet Tahoe.
A sheriffs deputy located the SUV on Paoli Road
and made a traffic stop.
Gregory Grinder, 37, of
New Glarus, was arrested
and booked into the Dane
County Jail on a charge of
burglary.
No charges have been
filed in Dane County Circuit Court as of press time

The Town of Verona

board will hold its April
meeting early next month
to avoid a conflict with the
spring election.
The meeting is planned
for Thursday, April 2, rather than the first Tuesday of
the month as it normally is.
The agenda has many
items, but town administrator Amanda Arnold said
none of them are major.
The board is expected to
discuss the abandonment
of two roads, Wesner and
Littleton, though Arnold
said not to expect a decision on Wesner as they
work out details with the
county and church that is
on the road.
Were farther along
with Littleton than we
are with Wesner, Arnold
said.
Another item is an
authorization to start
boundary agreement discussions with the City of
Verona. The two have
been discussing the potential of an agreement for
months, but this would be
a more formal commitment, Arnold said.
Other items include

he got to San Juan, Puerto
Rico, for the awards ceremony.
Schumacher went down
to accept the award for Best
new building over $200 million, but the Grand award is
only given to a single winner
among the 23 categories. Epic
does not typically share the
costs of its building projects.
I really didnt have a lot
of faith that we were going
to win the Build America
award, and then to win the
big one just says a lot about
what happened on that project, he said.
According to a news
release from AGC, which represents 26,000 member firms,

the Alliant Build America
Awards highlight significant
construction projects around
the nation. They are chosen
by a panel of judges representing all areas of construction for their complexity, use
of innovative construction
techniques and client satisfaction, among other criteria.
The 11,400-seat Deep
Space serves as Epics newest
auditorium. It was conceived
when the companys annual
Users Group Meeting, which
brings Epic clients from
around the world to Verona
for a week of learning from
one anothers experiences
and hearing updates from the

company, outgrew the 5,300seat Epicenter auditorium.
Deep Space also hosts the
companys monthly staff
meetings. The workforce has
far outgrown the Epicenter
auditorium, as well.
The building includes
offices and meeting rooms,
and it took some creativity
to get to what Epic needed,
Schumacher said. For starters, that meant building
down, rather than up, to
accommodate a five-story
auditorium.

we were going to bury

creative minds went to

work, Schumacher said.
Once you turn it over to
everybody thats been doing
this for years, its amazing
what good ideas come out.
Though the building was
designed by Minneapolisbased Cuningham Group,
Schumacher said many of
the concepts were collaborative efforts with 60 subcontractors and consultants.
They included how to
make the building seem
non-existent from one side
of it by fitting into the landscape, constructing the roof
on the ground and lifting the
8-million-pound structure
to its final place, as well as
prefabricating the buildings
escalators off-site and dropping them into the building
fully operational, according
to the companys entry for the
award.
From the main campus,
the roof of the building looks
like an open field full of grass
which is exactly what it is.
The immense weight of that
sod over the roof presented its
own engineering challenges.
But from the west, the
outside of the building was
modeled after an actual
quartz site in Baraboo Bluff.

Schumacher ultimately credited for the award.
Its really about all the
people from Epic to Cunningham to Cullen to all the
tradespeople, said Schumacher. Its probably a oncein-a-lifetime thing for a lot of
people.
Schumacher said being
involved in Epics creative
building designs has been a
good experience.
I like it because I get to be
involved day-to-day with
helping create the vision, he
said. (CEO) Judy (Faulkner

has) really set the vision,
but to help create the vision
is whats so special about it.
You dont get that with other

Schumacher, who said

Park Printing leaves its mark on Kohl Center

Verona business

graphics for UW
basketball home
Scott Girard
The Badgers are done

playing at the Kohl Center
this season, but a Verona
business is sharing a special connection with the
mens basketball team as
makes its way through the
NCAA Tournament.
Park Printing Solutions,
which has been in Verona
since 1968, has worked
with the University of Wisconsin-Madisons athletic
department for years, said
director of operations Bob
Battista. Most recently,
they added a bit of flair to
tables in the Nicholas Suite
at the end of the court.
Just about all the graphics youre going to find in
there (are by us), Battista
said. We did everything in
the Nicholas Suite.
Battista said the company also designed head
coach Bo Ryans office,
locker rooms and all of the
display cases in the concourse outside the stadium.
Sales associate Mike
Stolen said while walking around the stadium,
he and others suggested
to the department that it
add something to the bare
tables.

Park Printing designed and printed the tabletop graphics for tables
in the Kohl Centers Nicholas Club for both basketball and hockey
themes. The Verona company has worked with the UW-Madison
athletic department for years.
We were walking

bunch of tables, Stolen
said. We said, You guys

Battista said watching
the team have success this
year including a No. 1

department in general, he
said. (The teams success
is) just kind of icing on the
cake.

Kellerman dribbles to the first team

Anthony Iozzo
Assistant sports editor
Senior Will Kellerman helped the

Verona Area High School boys basketball team win a second straight regional title this season, and his success this
season has been awarded with a firstteam All-Big Eight selection.
Kellerman finished with 358 points
261 in Big Eight regular season
games and averaged 14.5 points per
game. He scored a team-high 30 points
against Madison Memorial on Feb. 26.
Madison Memorial senior Shareef Smith who was also named
Big Eight Player of the Year Beloit
Memorial senior Kyan Pleasant, Sun
Prairie senior JT Ruffin and Madison
East junior Deang Deang also made
the first team.
Joining Kellerman on the list was
junior Cole Schmitz, who earned a
second-team selection.
Schmitz scored 338 total points
270 in Big Eight regular season
games and averaged 13.8 points per
game.
Madison Memorial senior Henry Houden, Madison East senior
DeShawn Burks, Middleton sophomore Tyree Eady and Janesville Craig
sophomore SanTrell Payton also
made the second team.

Herkert leaps
to top finish at
Nelson-Daniel
Jeremy Jones
Sports editor
Jack Herkert helped the

Verona boys track and
field team follow the lead
of their Wildcat female
counterparts Saturday at
the Nelson-Daniel Classic
at UW-Whitewater.
Just like the on the girls
side, a sophomore underclassmen high jumper
stepped up to lead their
team as Herkert finished
fourth in the boys high
jump with a height of 6
feet.
Jack will be a key athlete for us this year. We
were expecting big things
in the high jump and
potentially the pole vault,
said Wildcats head coach
Joff Pedretti, whose team
placed 15 th out of the 20
teams competing with
14.33 points. His hurdle
performance was above my
expectation, so I was very
pleased with that effort.
Kettle Moraine sophomore Ben Psicihulis held
off Lake Forest junior Stephen Mathew, Arrowhead
senior Justin Konen, Herkert, Waukesha Norths
Kendall Gould and Franklin junior Tri Pham for top
honors based on attempts.
This was a very competitive meet. Some of the
best teams in the state were
present, Pedretti said.
Middleton proved that
they are the favorite for a
third straight conference
title. We will have to keep
improving all season to get
within striking range.
Though he didnt score
points, Herkert also placed
11th in the 55-meter hurdles
(8.44) and pole vault.
Hurdler Luquant Singh
was not at the meet due to
a family commitment.
Franklin held off Big
Eight Conference favorite Middleton, which finished fifth at state last year,
64-55 for top team honors.
Cary-Grove (Ill.) rounded
out the top three with 52
points.
Despite Ryan Nameth

sitting out the meet with
an injury, Verona was
able to pick up points from
junior Brady Traeder,
who finished fifth in the
1,600 meter run (4:42.84).
Sophomore T.J. Manning
missed scoring by two
spots, finishing 10th in
4:48.
Brady and TJ both did
more running this winter and it paid off. They
already started their seasons with personal records
and thats difficulty to do
in the distance events,
Pedretti said.
Sophomore Obi Ifedoria
also scored, taking fifth in
the 400 (53.22). Coming
off breaking the 400 freshman record last year and
medaling at the conference
championship last year, he
is the No. 3 returner in the
Big 8 in the event.
Senior Jacob Auman and
sophomore Josh Madalinski were the final two point
scorers for the Wildcats.
Auman leapt 40-4 in the
triple jump and Madalinski
finished in a three-way tie
in the pole vault completion at 9 feet, as both took
eighth place.
Jacob will be a factor in
both horizontal jumps this
year (TJ and LJ) as well
as on the sprint relays,
Pedtretti said.
Madalinski tied the
freshman pole vault record
last year and hopes to
break his way into the top
group of vaulters in the Big
8 this year.
Overall, I felt OK with
how we did, Pedretti
said. Obviously, without
Nameth we lost out on
some potential big points.
Although we didnt score
big points, we had some
good efforts and showed
depth. We are a stronger team than we showed
and I cant wait until we
can prove that at the next
meet.
Verona travels to the
UW Shell at 4:30 p.m.
Saturday, April 4.
Girls track and field
Olson rises to lead Wildcats at Nelson-Daniel Classic, Verona finishes 16th overall
Jeremy Jones
Sports editor
Sophomore Kailey Olson
posted a team-best finish in the
Verona Area High School girls
track and field teams season
debut Saturday at the NelsonDaniel Classic inside the UWWhitewater Kachel fieldhouse.
Olson turned in a third-place
finish in the in the high jump
competition, clearing 4 feet, 10
inches in the high jump. Only
Brookfield East senior Khadiya
Hollingsworth (5-6) and Waukesha South freshman Grace Dargiewicz (5-0) were more impressive in the first meet of the season.
Kailey looked great. She
worked very hard in the offseason to get stronger and she got
off to a great start, Verona head
coach Mark Happel said. My
expectation for her is just to get
bet better everyday, but I know
she has some high expectations
for herself.
Still, the Wildcats finished 16th
out of 24 teams competing with

12.50, as only two other individuals scored points on the day.
Last years WIAA Division 1
state runner-up, Brookfield East,
took top honors with 66 points.
Cary-Grove (Ill.) finished second (53), while Beloit Memorial
was third with 46.
Senior Ogi Ifediora placed
fourth in the 400-meter dash in
1 minute, 4.61 seconds, while
fellow senior Hannah Semmann
reached eight feet to tie Niles
West senior Hannah Palmer for
seventh place in the pole vault.

Ogi ran a great race and Hannah looked very good, Happel
said.
Wildcat junior Lexi Alt also
cleared eight feet, but was
unable to score points for the
team, taking ninth based on
attempts.
I know Hannah and Lexi are
both hoping to go higher this
season, but it was a good start,
Happel said.
Senior Shannon Kerrigan tied
Milwaukee King sophomore
Mariah Williams for ninth place

in the 55-meter dash and just
missed the finals in 7.77 seconds.
Junior Europa Christoffel added a pair of 10 th-place finishes
in the long jump (15-2 ) and
triple jump (32-0), respectively.
Verona returns to UW-Whitewater at 9:30 a.m., Saturday,
April 4 for the W/TFA invite.
Its the beginning of our
spring break, so well see who
we have available, Happel said.

Fitchburg resident Mike

Thorson had many questions
Monday about the Verona
Area School Districts referendum.
Thorson was among six
people who attended the districts information night Monday at the Fitchburg Public
Library. Although he came
in against the referendum,
school board president Dennis Beres answers during
their hourlong conversation
were apparently satisfactory.
I came in biased against
(the land purchase), and, after
a fairly lengthy discussion
with Dennis, I support it and
find it a fairly elegant solution, Thorson told the Press
as he left the meeting.
The other five, who spoke
with superintendent Dean
Gorrell and public information officer Kelly Kloepping,
were not as convinced.
Three told the Press they
remained undecided, while
the other two said they were
opposed.
I dont think its a good
location, Fitchburg resident
Michelle Gigot said of the
proposed land purchases on
the west and south sides of
Verona. I think a location
closer to Fitchburg (with a
second, smaller high school
campus) would be better.
Gigot said she expects some
of the farmland in the area to
become available in coming years before the 25-year

is realized, and she expects it
would come at a cheaper rate.
But district officials have
maintained throughout the
process that they expect the
most growth to come in the
City of Verona rather than
Fitchburg, where 34 percent
of the districts students reside,
according to district statistics.
The student population
from Fitchburg has been
going down over the years,
Gorrell said.
Gorrell has also said they
dont need to be as concerned
about location with a high
school, because more students
drive, rather than walk as
elementary students do.

Gorrell and Kloepping said
theyve heard questions from
residents, which were reiterated Monday night, on why
the district is building a second high school in Verona.
Rather than a second high
school, Gorrell said, the West
End and Erbach lands would
be used for a new high school
campus while the current
building is repurposed for
other uses. Gorrell and other
officials would not commit
to the land as a high school
campus immediately after
the purchase, but have since
acknowledged that would be
a fit for the size of land there.
While there is some growth

expected in the recently
approved North Stoner Prairie neighborhood and Quarry
Vista, which both are around
Stoner Prairie Elementary
School and Savanna Oaks
Middle School, Gorrell said
possible changes to where
charter schools are housed or
grade configurations at those
schools could free more space.
Gorrell said a recent look at
data showed the center of
the district by where students
live is right near Reddan Soccer Park, and while it might
fluctuate slightly in coming
years, he expects it to remain
more or less the same.

might not be the big dream

that we imagined, but I think
its land we can do really
great things with, Almond
said. I would not be disappointed if we just had Herfel
and Erbach. I think we could
make wonderful things happen there, as well.
It is undetermined when
construction on any buildings would begin, and the
district would almost certainly go back to referendum
to get approval for those
projects. The Future Schools
Committee, which the school
board created last year to
help outline solutions to the
growth, is expected to continue meeting after the referendum to recommend a timeline and order of building.
Gorrell had previously
indicated that the committee would decide on the use
of the larger properties, but
he has been more plain in
recent weeks about the likelihood it would be used for
a high school campus.
In order to make use of
the Herfel property, the
district would also need
to get approval for sewer
connections (urban service
area amendment) by the
countys regional planning
body.
If all properties are purchased at the expected price,
the referendum would have
an impact of 15 cents per
$1,000 of property value
on property taxes, according to district projections.
Exact estimates will depend

If the referendum is
approved April 7, the school
board will have one meeting before the option agreements must be exercised on
the two properties they have
agreements to purchase.
Both the Erbach and Herfel properties must be purchased by April 21, 2015,
or the agreement would
be void and the district
would not get its options
fees back. Those fees total
$50,000.
While the 18-acre Herfel property is planned to
house an elementary school
on its own, the main reason to purchase the 63-acre
Erbach property was to
partner it with the 44-acre
portion of the West End for
a high school campus.
Neither is large enough
on its own to house a new
high school campus, including various athletic fields.
Gorrell said he was not
sure what the board would
do with its option on the
Erbach property, as it
would have to put its faith
in the outcome of continuing negotiations on the
West End or the eminent
domain process.
Even without the West
End piece, some board
members have said there
is value in purchasing the
Erbach land alone.
When the board decided
to move forward with the
referendum for all three
properties at its Jan. 26
meeting despite uncertainty on the West End, board
member Amy Almond said
the Erbach property on its
own could still be attractive.
Its still a lot of acres. It
One of the more prominent concerns raised has

been the potential use of eminent domain, which
allows the taking of land for public use through
condemnation after paying fair market value.
Gorrell said even with voters approval, the district
would prefer to avoid using that tactic.
There would be a renewed effort to try to find a
non-legal resolution, Gorrell said. Well just have
to see.
The eminent domain question was added to the
referendum at the last minute during the final
school board meeting one day before the question
had to be approved. It came up because Vanta,
which owns the 45-acre West End property, could
not satisfy the purchase agreement by the deadline.
Vanta did want to sell the land, but because the
land was originally zoned as a condominium plot that
included common space, all of those with an interest
in that space had to sign off on the purchase.
T. Wall Enterprises, which has apartments that
neighbor the property the district would like to
purchase, did not agree to the purchase terms. Its
owner, Terrence Wall, is the former CEO of T. Wall
Properties, which last year became Vanta.
Wall told the Press in January some of his
questions about road changes and potential
stoplight installation were not being answered and
that he was not given much time to make a deal.
We werent getting answers to the questions we
had, Wall said. We said were not signing off until
we get answers.
Gorrell said he hoped having an approved eminent
domain option would help the stalled negotiations
restart and bring all parties to an acceptable
agreement. Wall purchased a half-page ad in the
Verona Press this week urging a vote against the
referendum.
If there is a yes vote but no agreement, the
district would be free to pursue seizing the land,
which would involve another survey to determine a
fair price. That price could push the total cost out
of the price range set by the referendum, or it could
come cheaper than the original purchase agreement
price.
It could be challenged in court, though, and the
district could decide whether to fight for it.

likely would be used as an

elementary school site to
help alleviate Glacier Edge
Elementary Schools capacity issues. The land is adjacent to the growing Scenic
Ridge and Cathedral Point
neighborhoods, which comprise most of the citys undeveloped single-family lots.
The other two properties
are adjacent to one another
off of West Verona Avenue near the Hwy. 18-151
bypass. The district has said
they would likely be a fit for
a new high school campus
as the current high school
has outgrown its common
spaces.
The district first agreed to
purchase the West End land
in May 2014, and it revised
that purchase agreement
in September, when it also
agreed to purchase the neighboring Erbach property.
Together, the two parcels
total more than 100 acres,
with 85 of those developable including some land
across the Military Ridge
Bike Trail, according to the
district. The rest would be
stormwater drainage.
That purchase and use
would depend on the outcome of the eminent domain
process for the West End
if the referendum were
approved. Eminent domain
is the power to take land in
exchange for fair market
compensation when public
projects are involved.
Approval would authorize
the district to make the purchases, but it would not guarantee the purchase of any or
all of them.

Charters: Schools say major challenge is getting portable electronic devices for all students
incorporate even more personalized learning techniques into their classrooms
as the district works toward
its goal of every student
having a personalized
learning plan by 2016-17.
At CKCS, for example,
students have for years
responded to a teachers
snap of the fingers with an
answer in math to emphasize the focus on direct
instruction. Now there is
also a focus on learning
through community service
at the K-8 school, which
Stousland said provides an
opportunity for personalization.
NCS, the districts first
charter school, opened in
the 1990s with a plan to
include multi-age classrooms and project-based
learning. Since its original charter, the school has
added an environmental
focus and most recently a
plan to cover STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) topics heavily. Director Jim Ruder said
the STEM focus often leads
to open-ended questions
or problems with multiple
answers, which is a perfect
fit with personalized learning.
VAIS is the districts
newest charter school. It
is a Chinese languageimmersion school, and has
students learn for half of
the day in Chinese and the
other half in English. The
schools teachers are beginning to allow more room
for creativity on student
projects, with open-ended
topics and more student
control of how they present
what they learn.
Directors, teachers and
parents from the schools
told the Verona Press they
see advantages and disadvantages to the way the
charter schools are instituting personalized learning.
They also know there is
work left to do both at their
sites and on a district level.
NCS site council member
Kaitie Smith has a secondgrader at the school and
said they are waiting for
continued direction from
the district, such as how to
store personalized learning plans for students and
acquiring technology to
help with the transition.
There have been conversations around what are our
expectations, and what are
the districts expectations?
she said.
Doing it already
Smith said a recent survey of NCS parents showed
many parents felt personalized learning was already
going on through projectbased learning before the
couple of students just to

find different approaches
that would work for them,
she said. Thats where the
strong parent involvement
can only help with personalized learning.
At VAIS, Drake said its
especially important for
parents to remain involved
in their childrens language
immersion, which is part
of their personalized learning, and it can help enhance
the students school experience.
(Students) see that the
parents trust the school,
they trust the teachers, they
know them, she said.
The whole premise

is that its something
thats student-driven
by student interest.
Brett Stousland,
CKCS director
district brought the initiative there.
The same survey showed
less parent support for the
initiative than other things
happening at the school,
Smith said. She said shes
heard from parents that
they just dont know how
the teachers are going to
incorporate another thing.
Finding what projects a
school does that already fit
in the mold could be key to
lessening the load on teachers. One example is the I
Wonder project at NCS,
in which a student picks
any question he or she wonders about and then has to
research that question to
find and present an answer.
Those projects had been
discontinued last year but
were brought back, said
director Jim Ruder.
NCS teacher Lee Lohr
wrote in an email that I
Wonder is very much in
the Personalized Learning
realm, and he suggested
that while it fits with the
ultimate goal of personalizing learning, it can create
more work for teachers.
Over time as more and
more things became added
to teacher plates, the time
commitment and effort
involved to produce them,
along with new and different long-term learning
opportunities led us down
a different path away from
these projects, he said.
(Theres) a little bit of irony that we are going back to
something that was such a
mainstay for us for years..
At CKCS, Stousland
pointed to the schools service learning as an example
of outside-the-classroom
learning thats engaging
for students. He said they
get to choose projects to
be involved in and even
come up with ideas themselves, using an example of
a group recently helping at
a childrens hospital.
The whole premise is
that its something thats
student-driven by student
interest, he said. Its
always about the kids thinking about more than whats
in front of them.
Those projects continue into middle school at
CKCS, and math resource
teacher Ashley Tarkenton
is instituting more personalized learning techniques in
her classroom with grades
6-8 students struggling in
math.
Funding challenges

other students work on independent projects on laptops or paper at Core Knowledge Charter School.
Below, Saul Duran-Nunez, left, reads a book while Gabriel Leake, center, and Alex Prout work on projects on laptops at Verona Area International School.
On a recent day at VAIS,

students in Sarah Shaws
classroom sat around a
U-shaped table working on
research projects on any
historical topic. Shaw said
the students ideas included
topics as diverse as D-Day,
factories using machinery
and ice cream.
The students then got to
present their projects any
way they want, Shaw
said, and they embraced
the choice they had in the
research.
Theyve been crazy in a
good way, Shaw said.
Small schools
Each of the charters is
limited to lower enrollment
than those of the attendance
area schools due to space
constraints. While that may
have some funding disadvantages, it also creates an
atmosphere in which teachers can get to know every
student well and can have
an easier time collaborating.
Lohr and NCS co-worker

Heidi Konop share their
fourth- and fifth-grade students for some units and
trade off based on what
unit they understand best as
teachers.
Working with just one
staff as a close co-teaching
partner has its advantages,
but compatibility is crucial, Lohr told the Press.
It is also much easier to be
aware of upcoming students
strengths and challenges as
4/5 staff have several years
to get to know kids through
the many cross-grade level
activities that happen at the
school.
VAIS director Barbara
Drake echoed that idea,
saying her teachers have
to work together to get to
know students strengths
and weaknesses. She added
that having teachers work
with students at multiple
grade levels is a huge boost.
We have an advantage as a very small charter school, Drake said.

(Teachers) really get to

know the students pretty
well.
Parent involvement
A key to setting up personalized learning plans is
parental involvement.
This is particularly the
case at the elementary
school level, where kids are
still discovering how they
learn best and their interests. And it tends to work
well at the charters, which
have goals determined by
parents and often get a high
level of parent involvement
in everything from fundraisers to classroom help.
I think there is more parent involvement in charter schools because it is a
parental choice to put their
student in that school,
VAIS governing council
president Teresa Corning
said.
Smith said she sees personalized learning play out
when she goes to volunteer
in classrooms at NCS.
When I go in to volunteer I am often asked
by the teacher to sit with
either a single student or a
But with smaller schools

also come smaller budgets,
and with technology being
immensely helpful for personalized learning, schools
are having to face the challenge of getting portable
electronic devices for every
student.
Lohr cited regular availability of technology during key content times as
one of the major challenges
instituting personalized
learning at a smaller school.
Stousland said fundraising is key for the charters
in keeping up with technology, pointing to a purchase
of more than 100 Google
Chromebooks and pro grams CKCS has bought
to help students have more
reading opportunities at
home.
Lohr added that finding
concrete examples of successful personalized learning techniques is also a
challenge. He added that
limited resources, for both
staff help and devices, present another block for teacher to get past.
Both in terms of one-onone technology and additional staff support for those
kids that are struggling the
most, he said. We still
have to get students who are
behind caught up, that takes
time and interventions. We
dont have the luxury of an
additional staff member who
is available to pull out or and
provide supplemental / remedial work time with students
who are struggling.
But personalized learning is also about more than
each student getting a oneon-one device, Corning
said.
It means more that the
student is more in charge
of that learning and what
the learning plan looks like
along with that students
parents and the staff and the
teachers, she said. I truly
think personalized learning
can be a great advantage
and opportunity for all students if it is implemented
in the right way and its not
just seen as if students have
a one-to-one device, that
means personalized learning.

CITY OF VERONA
MINUTES
COMMON COUNCIL
March 9, 2015
Verona City Hall
1. The meeting was called to order

by Mayor Hochkammer at 7:00 p.m.
2. Pledge of Allegiance
3. Roll Call: L. Diaz, E. Doyle, J.
Linder, Mac McGilvray, H. Reekie, B.
Stiner, E. Touchett and D. Yurs. Also
in attendance: City Administrator, B.
Burns; City Engineer, B. Gundlach;
City Planner, A. Sayre; Police Chief, B.
Coughlin; and City Clerk, K. Scofield.
4. Public Comment:
* Peter Filandrinos, 139 W Chapel
Royal Drive spoke on the Scenic Ridge
apartment proposal. His concerns involve increased traffic and failure to
obey traffic laws, having only one access point to the apartment that is
through the neighborhood, and the safety of school children in the area. Mr. Filandrinos requests that the Council delay action on the item until these issues
are more thoroughly examined with
hopes that a solution can be reached for
some of the concerns.
5. Approval of Minutes: Motion by
Yurs, seconded by Reekie to approve
the minutes of the February 23, 2015
Common Council meeting. Motion carried 8/0.
6. Mayors Business
7. Administrators Report
8. Engineers Report
9. COMMITTEE REPORTS
A. Plan Commission
(1) Discussion and Possible Action
Re: Resolution R-15-009 Approving a
Conditional Use Permit to allow for the
Construction of a 37.5-foot tall Senior
Living Complex on Lot 30 of the Second
Addition to the Prairie Oaks Subdivision. Motion by Linder, seconded by
Yurs to approve Resolution R-15-009.
Motion carried 8/0.
(2) Discussion and Possible Action Re: Resolution R-15-010 Approving
a Conditional Use Permit to allow for a
Group Daycare Center Land Use on Lot
1 of the Prairie Oaks Subdivision. Motion by Linder, seconded by Doyle to
approve Resolution R-15-010. Motion
carried 8/0.
(3) Discussion and Possible Action Re: Resolution R-15-011 Approving a Conditional Use Permit to allow
an Apartment Land Use on Lot 1 of the
Scenic Ridge Subdivision. Ald. Linder
provided information on the item and
comments and concerns raised at the
Plan Commission meeting. The biggest
concerns revolved around increased
traffic and the one entrance that goes
through the neighborhood to the apartment building. The Plan Commission
discussed the option of adding stop
signs in the subdivision to potentially
remedy traffic concerns.
The other question was regarding
the stormwater drainage and where that
would go once these apartments were
constructed. Mr. Gundlach addressed
this stating that currently that site drains
half to the stormwater basin and half to
the West, offsite. After these units are
built and the grading is completed the
drainage to the West will decrease and
Tinas Home
Cleaning, LLC
about 2/3 of the water will be draining

into the stormwater detention basin
which is in accordance with our ordinances and NR-151 (the States stormwater ordinance).
Mr. Gundlach addressed the traffic
concerns brought up this evening during public comment and similar concerns raised at the Plan Commission
meeting stating that West Chapel Royal
Drive was designed to handle the increased traffic from the apartments and
when the subdivision is built-out.
Motion by McGilvray, seconded by
Doyle to approve Resolution R-15-011.
Motion by Diaz, seconded by Doyle to
postpone action on the Conditional Use
Permit until the City can perform a traffic
analysis and put a plan in place to mitigate some of the traffic concerns and
ensure pedestrian safety. A roll call vote
was requested by Ald. Diaz. A roll call
vote was taken with the following voting aye: Diaz, Doyle, Linder, McGilvray,
Reekie, Stiner, Touchett and Yurs. There
