Michaels closes after more than 2 decades

After more than 25 years in Verona, Michaels Frozen Custard has closed its doors for the last time. The fast food and frozen custard spot came to the city in 1987, and for years it was the hottest spot around town for families, kids and anyone just passing by. In the past two decades, however, places such as Culvers, McDonalds, Chocolate Shoppe and Dairy Queen have moved in, along with the upcoming opening of Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt, adding to the fast food and dessert competition in the area. The building, at 407409 W. Verona Ave., just went up for sale and is selling along with the house property next door, for a total of one acre, said John Walsh, who is in charge of the property for Lee and Associates. The current asking price is $595,000, he said. The owners did not respond to email and phone messages requesting comment before print deadline.

Veronas downtown plan has gotten much more detailed and thorough over the past month. But there are still many choices to be made, and planners are hoping Mondays public forum helps bring out some answers. The 6:30 p.m. open house at the Verona Senior Center will feature a lot of maps and a few 3D renderings of potential streets, buildings and common areas around the proposed Four Corners intersection, as well as options for handling traffic flow by the fire station. The plans focus has been narrowed down since the steering committee recommended a signal-controlled intersection at Main Street and Verona Avenue last month. That has allowed planners to create detailed diagrams of transportation corridors and areas likely to be redeveloped and renderings

Church cleared to build columbarium for cremains

A burial ground proposed for a Town of Verona church wont be your typical cemetery lined with tombstones. Instead, leaders at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church next year are hoping to build a columbarium, a series of above-ground walls filled with hollow 12-by-12 inch niches or vaults to store cremated remains.

Last Tuesday, the Verona Town Board unanimously approved a zoning change and conditional use permit to allow the church to construct a columbarium in a small garden space outside its 7291 County Hwy. PD facility. The plan is expected to be approved by the Dane County Board of Supervisors later this fall. After that, the congregation still needs to sign off on

Wisconsin Brewing Co. wont be affected by agency shutdown

The federal government shutdown will not delay Veronans chance to try a new local brew beginning Nov. 1. While an Oct. 9 report from The Associated Press cited possible issues for craft breweries around Wisconsin and the United States due to the closing of the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB), the new Verona brewer, which plans to open Nov. 1, had its necessary permits approved months ago. The TTB has to approve requests from brewers for new breweries, recipes and labels. Wisconsin Brewing Co. received its approval in late July, and does not need approval for its labels because the TTB only cover interstate distribution. So far, WBC executives have said they plan to sell beer only within Wisconsin. We were lucky that we hadpermits in place already, CEO Carl Nolen said. He called any effect on their plans speculation because it would only come into play if the government stayed shut down for a long time. The brewery will begin distribution Nov. 1 in Verona and open up to other markets around the state Nov. 4. Scott Girard

City of Verona

Path cleared for bike trail building

Jim Ferolie
Verona Press editor

A bicycle-themed restaurant and apartment complex along the Military Ridge State Trail got unanimous approval Monday from the Common Council but has one more step left before it can become reality. Alders agreed on the general development plan for the 24-unit apartment building that includes a 4,660-square-foot yet-to-benamed restaurant. That is the citys assurance that a project of that type and scope is acceptable on that property, but it doesnt address many concerns that were brought up Monday and at the Plan Commission a week earlier. Alders asked about a handful of exemptions from standard zoning, including setbacks less than half the normal distance, higher density and less parking. Commissioners had also brought up concerns with stormwater and the potential of expanding the apartment building. All those should be addressed when the developer, VeloCity, returns for the precise implementation plan, the final stage of the planned-unit development process.

That final step often takes a couple months or more. For all the concerns, the project has gotten a warm reception. Ald. Dale Yurs (Dist. 2), the Plan Commission representative, said it highlights one of the shining spots in Verona, the bike trail. And Ald. Luke Diaz (D-3) said everyone wants more restaurants. There didnt seem to be any concern about a restaurant and apartment complex sharing some parking outside of the main downtown area or the concept of putting it between an industrial park and a residential area along the trail. Questions have mostly been confined to its exemptions, the stormwater challenges of the site, its visual impact and the claim that the project will be aiming for silver LEED certification, meaning its environmentally friendly. Planner Kyle Dumbleton said geothermal heating and cooling is very likely, and passive solar power is also possible, along with extra insulation low-maintenance landscaping and a design thats conducive to bringing in daylight. As for the restaurant, which is a bit smaller than the original plan

but still would be among the larger eateries in the city, Ald. Heather Reekie suggested that it would be more successful if it were slow food. Dumbleton wasnt ready to announce what restaurant might be taking the spot, but an agreement has already been reached to cap its closing time at 10 p.m. and he said VeloCity (pronounced like speed, not a bicycle city) is seeking authentic food that truly fits in.

Impact fee
The council also approved the addition of a fire station impact fee to be levied on all new development. The fee of $310 per house, $213 per multifamily unit and $2.10 per $1,000 of assessed commercial value will not count toward existing, refurbished or sold properties. That matches the intent of the fee, explained Vicki Hellenbrand of Baker Tilly-Virchow Krause, saying it matches the growth of the city to its future station needs. Any fees collected and not spent within seven years are subject to refunding, but thats not likely, considering the city has already begun engineering for a new fire station and the citys assessed

value would have to roughly double for impact fees to cover the cost of it. The report calculated that even for low-income apartments well below the average in Verona, the impact of the fee on a typical lease should be less than 1 percent of the rent. The fee will apply to new building permits taken out after publication this week, city administrator Bill Burns explained Tuesday.

leases with other carriers because of its height. U.S. Cellular had originally proposed a 140-foot-tall tower, but the city rejected it and capped the height at 100 feet.

Senior Center chairs

Board adopts technology checkout policy

The Verona Area School District (VASD) continues to grow in this school year, up 124 students from last years September enrollment numbers. As of the third Friday in September, when every school district around Wisconsin must give an official enrollment number to the state Department of Public Instruction (DPI), 5,440 students attended schools in the VASD; an increase of more than 1,000 from just eight years ago. The largest increase came at the middle school level, where 82 more students are enrolled this year than last. Additionally, resident student enrollment, which factors into calculating the districts revenue cap, is up to 5,291, 151 students higher than last year. VASD superintendent Dean Gorrell said the increase was 95 more than district officials predicted. The third Friday count affects student aid from the state, and VASD business manager Chris Murphy said the extra 95 students should increase the districts cap somewhere around $325,000, though the DPI still has to determine the exact number. Pre-K and early childhood students do not count as a full student in the DPIs calculations, Murphy said, so the exact amount could fluctuate depending on what level the extra 95 students are from.

The school board adopted changes to the districts

Policy changes

open enrollment policies in response to 2011 Wisconsin Act 114 at its Oct. 7 meeting. Much of the language of the changes reflected the legislation, VASD direct o r o f c o m m u n i t y s e rvices John Schmitt said when first presenting the changes at a meeting last month. Board member John McCulley raised a question over part of the new policy that differentiated between students with special needs and those without. It is a bit awkward, Schmitt admitted, though he said it reflected the language in the law and came after significant consultation with the Wisconsin Association of School Boards. The most significant change in the policy is in alternative applications that can now be submitted outside of the new Februaryto-April time period for normal open-enrollment applications. These alternative applications can come at any time of year if they fall within one of seven categories, including if a parent or guardian determines it is in the best interest of the student to open enroll. That was a point that brought more questions from the board on the definition of that statement. However, the district will have the opportunity to determine whether it agrees on the students best interest when a student attempts to transfer either in or out of the district. Its an interesting change, because it does demand us to watch this year-round, Schmitt said Sept. 23. At the bottom line, for parents they get an opportunity to have access throughout the year. The board passed the changes unanimously.

As the district continues to work toward a personalized learning system for its students, its considering a new checkout system for Chromebooks, iPads and other technology devices being used in classrooms. Imagine having to work somewhere else but you cant take your device with you, VASD director of technology services Betty Wottreng said of the policys necessity. The draft, presented at the Oct. 7 board meeting, would set up a contract for parents to sign and penalties for lost or stolen equipment. The board discussed the proposal for almost a halfhour, with questions ranging from parent liability to the best method for checking out equipment. One part of the proposal suggested students have an option to pay a fee when taking the equipment home in order to lower their liability for a lost device. For example, Wottreng said, the policy could ask each family for $40, then limit the damage fee to $50. (That amount was not a real proposal). However, she said, Wisconsin law apparently precludes the district from charging a smaller fee to everyone

to insure the devices for home use because it would be asking students to subsidize others insurance. Board member Renee Zook suggested trying the first year with a lower waiver fee, and Wottreng agreed to come back to the next meeting with a more specific proposal. So (the) fee to enter doesnt seem as high, but there would still be a deductible fee if damage were to occur, Zook suggested. There were many questions on the policy, but Gorrell said it is important the board

decides whether a policy is needed, because the devices are being used increasingly in classrooms. This is going from a Nice to have to a Need to have, he said. Whatever the final policy decided upon this year, Wottreng said she expects changes and adjustments as the years go on. Anyone thats done it would say what they did in year one may not be what they did in year two, she said. I think this will continue to evolve.

Republicans need to be voted out

The Republican party has used shutting down the government and refusing to raise the debt limit as tactics to force Democrats into positions that the Republicans failed to achieve in the usual means of legislating. These tactics are extreme acts of domestic terrorism instigated by a minority of house members. John Boehner, the Speaker of the House, has relinquished his responsibilities as a leader because of intimidation and fear of the radical members in the house. The ever changing demands of the radicals has caused a fracture within the GOP resulting in incoherent and incompetent messaging. It is unclear to the nation what the Republican goal is because of the inconsistent and crazy antics. The GOP has been characterized as pointing a gun at the President, as a tactic to get what they want when usual procedures have failed. The reality is that the gun is being pointed at the head of every American by closing the government and threatening to not raise the debt limit which will create cataclysmic events endangering us all. The insane and irresponsible behavior of the GOP should disqualify them as a serious political party. We as citizens and voters should respond by not casting any of our votes for a single Republican in state and federal elections. I am not saying that Democrats are the ultimate answer, but the GOP has crossed over a line that should disqualify them for holding public office. Vote for independents and Democrats to negate the influence of GOP radicals that have taken over the Republican party by employing fear and hatred as a means of governing. GOP moderates have cowardly abdicated control of their party to insane members that have no official legitimacy. Elections do have results. As voters we must act responsibly to relegate this dangerous party to the dust bin of history. Bob Menamin Verona

Michaels demise marks end of the beginning

Safety improvements needed near Epic

I was encouraged to read the plans for the road and traffic changes designed to control traffic around the Epic campus. However, something needs to be done sooner rather than later at the intersection of North Nine Mound Road and Hwy. PD. Earlier this month, I saw there was an accident at this intersection and Im surprised it doesnt happen more often. The volume of traffic coming from both the east and the west on Hwy. PD often makes it very difficult to get a break to turn left from Nine Mound onto Hwy. PD during my morning commute. And cars not turning fly by at 50 mph. The situation is even worse when it rains or snows. In the interim until the permanent plan is implemented, this intersection requires a three-way stop or at the very least a reduction in the speed limit, as it is very dangerous.

f there is one thing I have learned since getting into the business of business, it is dont be a sentimentalist. Businesses come and businesses go, and the reasons for success and failure are not always fair or just. Still, while I try to be calloused about these things, when I drove past the former Marilyn Rybowiak Michaels FroCity of Verona zen Custard on Monday, now closed and for sale, I could not help but feel a touch of sadness.

confections. The most commonly asked question around town, always asked with a tinge of childlike enthusiasm, was, Have you tried the frozen custard yet? With the arrival of summer it was common for throngs of people, many of them families with dreamy-eyed children, to mob the front of the store on a humid evening for a twilight snack. You were more likely to see your neighbors standing in line for a sundae or a waffle cone than you were to see them in their own front yards. Prior to the arrival of Michaels, Verona had a root beer stand, and that was all. It was a delightful place, still employing carhops to bring your food to your open drivers side window. It was seasonal. It was steady. It was safe. Michaels was new and exciting. What was this frozen custards stuff? It was sort of like ice cream, but it was at the same time entirely different. Was it the texture? Was it the creaminess? Was it the way the a sundae seemed to glimmer in the glow of the neon lights that decorated the windows? Michaels was also a destination. It was the end point for many a couple on a summer evening walk. It was a place teenagers, many with new licenses, could stop to do the things only teenagers find entertaining. It was a reward after a tough game, a day of yard work, or when a youngster finally passed a tough

level of swimming lessons. But most importantly, Michaels was first. When the store opened, there was a sense Verona had something unique. We felt as if we had arrived. It was where we all went. Verona would explode in the 1990s. With this explosion came busy neighborhoods, more school buildings, a by-pass, and eventually a broad selection of fast food, burger joints, pizza, ice cream and even another frozen custard source. All of these places have filled a niche, but as our choices expanded our experience was also diluted. With time and progress Michaels was no longer a tasty oasis on a summer evening. It was just another option on the fast food landscape. The fact that Michaels succumbed to the competition is really not a surprise to anyone, but for those of us who were here when a little custard stand changed the feeling of summer evenings in Hometown, U.S.A., it is a sad day. I doubt we will ever experience that level of novelty, excitement and community again. That is not nostalgia, it is history. It was truly a special moment in Verona.

Wine and Dine event benefits food pantry

Seven years ago, Verona Area Chamber of Commerce executive director Karl Curtis noticed a void in the chambers yearly schedule of events. We were trying to establish ourselves as an active participant in the community, Curtis recalled, but when I looked at the calendar we were not holding any community functions. Specifically, we were not really giving back to Verona. Curtis and the chambers board of directors put their collective heads together and created an idea for a fun, food-based community event that would help raise funds for a local charity. The Verona Food Pantry was chosen as a worthy cause. We wanted a taste of style event, Curtis said, but the taste of name seemed overused. Mike Petta of Capitol Bank suggested Verona Wine and Dine. The first Verona Wine and Dine was held at the Heights Event Center, and while successful, it was also a learning experience. The concept was for about a dozen Verona restaurants and retailers to provide a food or beverage item for attendees to sample. After visiting each restaurants table, attendees would end the evening well fed. The restaurants in Verona were great about donating food, Curtis said, but we really didnt think about portion size. We had thick slices of meat, complete sandwiches and giant desserts, and by the time you had stopped at two or three restaurant tables, you were stuffed. Despite ending the evening with plenty of leftover food, the event was a success, raising $1,500 for the food pantry. The next year the Chamber learned from the first years event, and the Verona Wine and Dine, now in its seventh year, has become a bright star on the annual Chamber calendar of events. We now have over 20 restaurants donating food, and the menu is outstanding, Curtis said. Since that first year we have been able to donate over $2,000

If you go
What: Verona Wine and Dine Chamber of Commerce event When: Oct. 24, 5:307:30 Where: Holiday Inn Express and Suites in Verona How much: $25 each year to the food pantry. It is something the Chamber is very proud to do. Something else the Chamber takes pride in is that because of the generous support of sponsors Main St. Dentists, BMO Harris Bank, Culvers of Verona, Holiday Inn Express and Suites, and the Verona Press, every cent from ticket purchases is donated to the Verona Area Needs Network Food Pantry. It is truly a win-win for our guests, Curtis said. You get a great meal and you are helping out a great cause. The seventh annual

Verona Wine and Dine is slated for Thursday evening, Oct. 24, from 5:307:30 p.m. at the Holiday Inn Express and Suites in Verona. The taste of style event features entrees, hors doeuvres, desserts, cheese, wine and other beverages generously provided by more than 20 Verona area restaurants and businesses. By purchasing a $25 ticket for the evening, attendees will be able to sample the offerings of each restaurant and business. There will also be door prizes and music. Verona Wine and Dine is open to the public, but because the food is donated tickets are limited. To reserve tickets for the seventh annual Verona Wine and Dine, call the Verona Area Chamber of Commerce at 845-5777 or purchase tickets directly at the Chamber office, Capitol Bank or State Bank of Cross Plains. Anyone with questions about this event is encouraged to call Karl Curtis at the Verona Area Chamber of Commerce, 845-5777.

I think if people come to this event they will be quite surprised by the great food and atmosphere, Curtis said. Wine and Dine is a

real jewel, and it supports a terrific cause. I encourage all of Verona to check it out.

What: Free e-waste collection When: 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday Where: Public works facility, 410 Investment Court Who: Verona residents residents to dispose of their unwanted electronic waste for free. Anyone dropping off an item must furnish basic proof of City of Verona residency. For information on Saturdays event, call the citys public works department at 845-6695. Last year the city set a fee schedule for the collection of e-waste from $2 to $25, depending on the type, rather than the weight.

Since Sept. 1, 2010, it has been illegal in Wisconsin under 2009 Act 50 to dispose of e-waste in landfills, though undoubtedly many consumers have done so anyway because of limited publicity and enforcement. Under the normal fee schedule for e-waste, cell phones, printers and other computer accessories, such as keyboards and mice are $2 each. VCRs, DVD players, computers, monitors and fax machines are $5. TVs up to 27 inches are $10, and larger TVs are $15. Stickers can only be purchased during the facilitys regular business hours, but items can be dropped off at the usual (seasonally adjusted) waste drop-off times.

Metamorphosis
Most of us probably remember the word metamorphosis from our high school biology class, where we learned that many insects have a larval or immature stage but then undergo rather extreme changes as they enter their adult stage. Caterpillars turning into butterflies are probably the best example, but tadpoles turning into frogs are equally dramatic. Human beings undergo less dramatic physical changes, but we sometimes undergo psychic or spiritual metamorphoses which can be very extreme. Conversion experiences are sometimes that way. A person living a wayward life may be so moved by a religious experience that they completely change their ways, almost overnight. Sometimes the changes are so drastic that they are hardly recognizable to their friends and family. We often describe these experiences as if we had emerged from a cocoon or the scales had fallen from our eyes. But, our blindness is sometimes of our own making. And sometimes we prefer to stay in our cocoons when what we really need is to venture forth and spread our wings in order to experience growth. Indeed, conversion experiences are scary because we dont know what life is going to be like with our new wings, but if we are going to fly we have to take a leap of faith and emerge from our cocoons. Christopher Simon for Metro News Service Flesh gives birth to flesh,but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. John 3: 6

Fitch-Rona Kids seek donations

A first-year non-profit group is raising money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Wisconsin through the Oct. 26 mud run in Verona. Fitch-Rona Kids is a collaborative effort among the children of Fitch-Rona paramedics, Fitchburg firefighters, and Verona firefighters to raise money for Make-A-Wish Foundation of Wisconsin. About 20 kids make up the organization, and the children are setting out to fulfill the wish of a local child with a life-threatening medical condition. The goal is to raise at least $2,000 in donations for the Wisconsin chapter of Make-A-Wish, said EMS Kids organizer Kristy Schnabel in an email to the Verona Press. This is the first year we are doing this with hopes to have a bigger event open to the public and all kids next year, Schnabel said. Its really an event that gives us a chance to help a child make a wish come true and bring our kids together to help do it. Donations can be made directly to the Fitch-Rona kids page on the Make-AWish Wisconsins website at: friends.wish.org/029 -000/page/Kyle-Wells/ Fitch-Rona-Kids-Fundraiser.htm. You can also go to friends.wish.org, click on donate, then scroll down to Make-A-Wish Wisconsin and click the link ; next click on find a friends special event page by clicking here; and finally, click on Kyle Wellss Fitch-Rona-KidsFundraiser.

Verona is well-versed in adult mud runs, but the youngsters get a chance to run, dive and even swim through the mud Oct. 26. Veronas second youth mud run, sponsored by Tri 4 Schools, will host the Halloween-themed mud run for kids 17 and under at Veterans Park. The nonprofit is a local organization that raises money for area schools through triathlon events. The event has three distances, .5, 1 and 2-miles, with different obstacles, all ending in a mud pit. New obstacles this race are a Slip N Slide and a tire tower to replace Mays balance beam and tube crawl. Kids are also invited to participate in a Halloween costume contest. Mays Verona youth mud run sold out with 750 kids, so the they increased the cap for the upcoming run to 850 participants, said Tri 4 Schools executive director and founder Katie Hensel. We received so much positive feedback from the spring mud run; we absolutely had to do another one, she said in a news release.

This years first youth mud run in Dane County was held at Festival Park in Verona in May.

With around 530 participants in the fall run, Tri 4 Schools raised around $14,000 from the May run to go toward athletics in Dane County schools. In the future, Tri 4 Schools aims to provide after school programming.

Six Madison schools will pilot an eight-week training program geared toward preparing kids both physically and mentally for a triathlon or mud run. Additionally, Tri 4 Schools hopes to begin expanding outside of Dane County

to help reach more kids in more places. Registration for the Halloween mud run is now open at tri4schools.com. It is $25 to sign up online and $30 day-of registration. For information,

District presentation discusses recent innovations in classroom

Scott Girard
Unified Newspaper Group

Teachers and administrators at Verona Area High School hope parents will have time between parent/ teacher conferences Tuesday night to learn more about new practices the school is using in classrooms.

Five teachers will present on multiple topics, including flipped classrooms, courses on iTunes, the schools music recording studio and more. Flipped classrooms, which ask students to watch pre-recorded lectures on new material as homework and then come to class with questions, have grown

throughout the district in recent years and received district grants to explore. All of the topics involved are part of the districts experimentation with technology in classrooms, and have grown in use over the last few years. Some students may have experienced these practices at the middle school level or

earlier in their high school careers, while some may be new to the students and their parents. The event will also include information on the schools Twitter account and YouTube channel, where students post twiceweekly announcement videos for the rest of the school.

Her beads for the trip are small running shoes, and a $10 donation sponsors one bead plus a mile of her walk.

Columbarium: Becoming popular option

Continued from Page 1 the plan in January, said Good Shepherds lead pastor, Brent Campbell. Campbell said hes heard no opposition to the proposal, which reflects a growing trend toward cremation, rather than traditional burials with caskets. Were finding that folks in their late 40s to early 60s are particularly interested, he said. At the earliest, construction on the columbarium would begin next spring and wrap up later in 2014. The church has proposed beginning with 220 niches that could possibly double in 5-10 years, Campbell said. The town approved up to 300 niches and required a future town review if the church wanted to exceed that number. Campbell said church members floated the idea a year or two ago. He said the church feels it is good stewardship to offer families a place to inter their loved ones on site, yet the church doesnt have enough land to build a traditional cemetery. Its an old idea, he said. We want to offer a final resting place in a setting thats meaningful to families. fees. The new columbarium would only take up about an eighth of an acre, but the church needed to rezone its entire 13.2-acre property to comply with county ordinances, said town planner/administrator Amanda Arnold. The board also limited the lands use to religious uses, schools and a columbarium, according to meeting minutes. Columbariums are growing in popularity, said Ben Foley, director of operation for Arizona-based Homecoming, Inc., which designs and builds columbariums for clients nationwide. Demand for the 29-yearold company used to center in large, landlocked cities on the coasts, but in recent years business has boomed in the Midwest and deep south, Foley said. Theres no part of the country untouched by this (trend), he said. Thats no surprise, given how cremation rates have risen in recent decades. In 1970, fewer than 5 percent of corpses were cremated; in 2012, rates exceeded 43 percent, according to the National Funeral Directors Association. Meanwhile, Good Shepherd is poised to dedicate another building project at an Oct. 13 church service. The church recently wrapped up an expansion that added four offices, a conference room and space for a future music room in an effort to have more of a staff presence at the Verona campus, Campbell said. Between its two locations in Verona and Madison, Good Shepherd has about 5,000 baptized members. The Verona campus opened in 2003, added a gymnasium in 2008 and expanded again in 2010 when it spent about $1 million to add worship Photo by Seth Jovaag space, classrooms and more room for its lobby and fel- Columbariums such as this one at Roselawn Memorial Cemetery in Monona are growing more common. lowship hall.

More common
Columbariums arent new in Dane County. Luther Memorial Church in Madison built one inside its University Avenue facility in 1996 that has roughly 220 slots for cremains, said its pastor, Rev. Franklin Wilson. Roselawn Memorial Cemetery in Monona also has more than 250 niches in its outdoor columbariums, said Jamey Shaw, a counselor at the cemetery. At Luther, Wilson said that in addition to offering members a place to be buried in the church, the columbarium serves several purposes. Its a teaching resource that helps parishioners ponder weighty topics like mortality; its a practical option less expensive than traditional casket burials; and it affords mourners more time to decide when to hold funerals, as cremains dont need to be interred within days of a death. It really serves our parish well, he said. I think it actually serves to diminish the creepy factor (of death). Death or mortality are not so distant or out of sight. At Luther, slots are $1,500 for one person or $2,000 for a couple. So far, 34 are filled and 60 more have been sold or purchased, according to church administrator Kim OLeary. At Good Shepherd, rates to purchase a spot in the columbarium havent yet been determined, Campbell said. Likewise, church leaders havent finalized the columbariums design or how much it might cost to build. He expects it will be largely self-funding through burial

And the Wildcats did it with only one senior on varsity Rachel Hernandez, who shot a 173 (88-85), Hernandez and Reinecke were the only two upperclassmen on the team. Bailey Smith, Emily Opsal and Hanna Rebholz are sophomores.

Even with 23 shots on goal, Tuesdays regional semifinal at Reddan Soccer Park was anything but a sure thing for the No. 4 Verona boys soccer team, which defeated No. 5 Beloit Memorial 2-0. In fact, it was a defensive play that kept the game scoreless after the first half that proved to be one of the biggest plays of the game. The Knights had a shot that forced senior goalie Connor Rortvedt to come out of the net to try and challenge it, but Rortvedt was caught out of position. Beloit nudged a ball toward the net for what seemed to be an easy goal until senior defender Pat Stevens stepped in the way and kicked the ball away. Connor scares me all the time. He is so confident in his abilities that he comes barreling out and 90 percent of the time he is good, head coach Jake Andreska said. But that must have been a little hockey player in Stevens you know those hockey players know to cover the crease area, our goal area. It is very relieving to have a senior back squad with three out of the four guys being seniors besides Kye Hanson. Still scoreless in the second half, Verona finally converted on its opportunities with two goals in less than a minute. The first came in the 65th minute, when senior Harry Seid forced a turnover and came to the right side of the field. He nudged a ball past midfield and junior Sawyer Quade picked up the ball. As Quade raced down the right side, senior forward

Junior running back Case Baio finds a hole in the second quarter Friday against Madison East at Lussier Stadium. Verona won 56-14.

Win sets up playoff-like game in week 9

Anthony Iozzo
Assistant sports editor

Fridays 56-14 win against Madison East at Lussier Stadium moved the Verona football team back to .500 (4-4), but it also set up a do-or-die game in week 9 against Madison West. West (4-4) knocked off Beloit Memorial 44-6 last Friday, and it will visit Verona at 7:30 p.m. this Friday to decide which team moves on to the playoffs. There is an opportunity to make the playoffs at 4-5 but only if there arent enough eligible teams and even then, it is unlikely the loser gets through. West sends an interesting weapon with senior wide receiver/defensive back Terrell McFadden being a quarterback who can run and throw. McFadden is 49-for-105 for 653 yards, three touch- Verona 56, Madison East 14 Tackett and Schmid each had four downs and four interceptions.

passes for 163 yards and four touchdowns. Wests other quarterback is senior Adrien Reilly. Reilly is 30-for-55 with 590 yards, 10 touchdowns and three interceptions. Senior quarterback John Tackett and junior running back Eric Schmid lead Verona this season. Tackett is 59-for-90 with 918 yards, 15 touchdowns and one interception. Schmid has 816 yards on 99 attempts and 11 touchdowns. Junior running back Cameron Tindall (six touchdowns), junior running back Case Baio and senior running back Travis Murray also see touches. Senior split end Mitch Flora, junior split end Colin Griffin, Tindall and Schmid have all combined for 11 touchdown catches.

Continued from page 11 Garrett Grunke was racing toward the net. Quade hit a cross right to Grunkes foot inside the penalty box, and Grunke finished the play with a roller past Beloit junior goalie Luis Pedroza, who had 21 saves on the night. I was calling for the cross, Grunke said. I have gotten a lot of goals off of crosses like that this year, and I knew I just had to put everything toward it to get the goal. I just had to crash the net hard because I didnt want my season to end. The second goal was by junior Kyle Monson, his first of the season, and it gave the team some breathing room. Rortvedt finished with five saves, all of which came in the first half. The Wildcats will play at No. 1 Madison Memorial Thursday in the regional final. Verona lost 3-2 in overtime to the Spartans in the regular season after having a -0 lead at halftime. But Grunke said he knows the Wildcats will be ready this time. I think everyone believes in ourselves that we have a chance, he said. It was such a close game the first time. No one is going in thinking we dont have a chance. I know it is going to be a real competitive game and maybe go into overtime, but we are really hoping to pull it off and make

Boys second at Sun Prairie invite Big Eight Tournament set for Saturday
Upperclassmen Jonah Tollfefson and Nick Stigsell helped the Verona boys cross country team run to a runner-up finish behind the host Cardinals at Saturdays fourth annual Sun Prairie Invitational at Sheenan Park With several teams resting their top runners, it was Tollefson that paced the Wildcats in 18:03, though Stigsell followed one second later to help Verona to a team-score of 50 points 19 back of the Cardinals. Sophomore Brady Traeder crossed the finish line in 18:09 to give Verona three finishers in the top 10. Fellow sophomore Alec Shiva (18:12) and senior Chris Williams (18:13) rounded out the varsity scoring in 11th and 12th place, respectively. Though they didnt score for the team, seniors Elliot Imhoff (118:19) and Zach Miller (18:25) were only seconds off the pace. The scoring showed the good depth and balance we have this year, Marks said. I feel we are one of the top five JVs in the state, Marks said. We beat La Follette, Stevens Point and have finished in the top five in JV in every big meet. Holding its top three runners (Ryan Nameth, Luke Waschbusch and Ben Feller) out of the race, Verona head coach Randy Marks was pleasantly surprised in what he saw on Saturday as the Wildcats posted seven personal bests. Jonah won the senior race and he is a guy that could easily launch himself into the conference picture if he really laid one down on Saturday, Marks said. Verona travels to Rockport Park in Janesville on Saturday for the Big Eight Conference meet. This year the varsity girls will run first at 9:30 followed by boys varsity at 10 a.m. Still, out of that group at least two guys have to really step it up Saturday at conference for a victory, he said. We may do that and still lose, but a great showing against the top two teams in the state last year would be a good way to enter the tournament. Defending state champion Madison West expects to repeat as conference champions, while Verona, Sun Prairie, Madison La Follette and Madison Memorial all figure to battle for top three spots. On paper I see us finishing third, anything less would be disappointing, anything more would be very exciting,Marks said. The Big 8 (10) all have guys who can lay it out there on a given day. It will be the team that does it Saturday that carries home the gold ball. Our Achilles heel is the distance between our No. 3 and 5 runners. If we can not close that to maybe 10-15 seconds we will not win the Big 8.

The Verona Area High School Volleyball team is the third seed for Saturdays Big Eight Conference meet at Beloit Memorial. The Wildcats went 7-2 in the Big Eight this season (20-10 overall) with the only losses to top seeds Sun Prairie (9-0, 35-4) and Middleton (8-1, 24-14), both in five sets. Senior Maddie Vogel (215 kills, 41 aces), sophomore setter Victoria Brisack (551 assists, 57 aces, 34 total blocks) and junior Morgan Schmitz (146 digs) are the leaders. Sophomore outside hitter Kylie Schmaltz (195 kills, 40 aces, 136 digs) and junior middle hitter Jessica Coyne (30 total blocks) were near the top. The tournament begins at 8 a.m.

Girls
Though the girls team took last weekend off, head coach Dave Nelson is confident his team can finish strong with a week of rest heading into Saturdays conference tournament. We are hoping to be healthy come this weekend and more importantly for sectionals the following weekend, Wildcat girls head coach Dave Nelson said. At this point, we figure to be fifth at Conference. Defending conference champion Madison West could very well leave Rockport Park without a team trophy on Saturday. Middleton sophomore Samantha Valentine leads a very talented Cardinal team, while Sun Prairie is guided by sophomore Katie Hieptas. Madison Memorial could also find itself in the mix behind junior Siena Casanova and sophomores Allie Trask and Delaney Eigenberger.

We look through every match of everyone thats looking to get in, as well as the seeding of the tournament, Happel said. The one thing we preach here is that you cant have a bad loss. Its OK to lose to state qualifiers, but at 1 and 2 singles and 1 doubles we had no bad losses and we beat some people who qualified for the state tournament.

States largest invite cant slow Cats

Sophomore Beata Nelson secured an individual victory in the states largest invite Saturday, while helping guide the Verona/Mount Horeb girls swimming team to a third-place finish. Nelson, the defending Division 1 state champion in the 100-yard backstroke, posted a meet-best time of 55.54 seconds at the Homestead Invitational. She also finished runner-up to Cedarburg sophomore Katie Drabot in the 200 individual medley (2:04.4). The Wildcats watched Beata Nelson, freshman Kristi Larsen and juniors Sammy Seymour and Shelby Rozeboom swim to a third-place medal in the 200 medley relay behind Waukesha South/Mukwonago and Germantown in 1:51.70. Verona continued to show its underclassmen depth on its fourth-place 200 free relay where freshmen Maizie Seidl and Larsen and Beata Nelson comprised threefourths of team, which along with Rozeboom touched the wall in 1:41.15. We have a good group of underclassmen who have really stepped up to the plate and are becoming top swimmers on our team and against some major competition, V/MH head coach Halley Johnson said. We got to see a lot of the top competition that we will see at state and it was nice to be able to see where we were at compared to them. Rozeboom added a third-place finish in the 50 free with her time of 25.28, while Seymour took fifth in the 100 butterfly 1:02.7 one spot ahead of teammate Lindsay Craig. Held out of the Wildcats dual the previous day at Madison East, senior Maddy Nelson posted a fourth-place finish in the 100 backstroke (55.54). Defending state champion Waukesha South/Mukwonago secured three individual and two relay titles to pace the 16-team field. Middleton posted 268.5, while Verona/Mount Horeb posted 259.

Verona 138, Madison East 32

The Wildcats swept all 11 events Friday at Madison East en route to a 138-32 Big Eight Conference dual victory. Beata Nelson claimed a pair of individual wins on the evening, claiming the 200 free in 1:55.36 and the 100 butterfly in 57.51. Fellow state medalist Rozeboom secured the 50 free in 25.27, while senior Mallory Olsen took the 500 free in 5:27.84. Sarah Prescott added the 200 IM in 2:27.44, while underclassmen Seidl (100 free), Sarah Schultz (100 back) and Rose Parker (100 breaststroke) helped Verona take their respective events in 58.02, 1:08.25 and 1:47.43. Julia Ver Voort, Rozeboom, Larsen, Seidl and Beata Nelson all had a hand in a pair of relay wins. Ver Voort and Rozeboom and Larsen joined Seymour to open the meet as Verona swam to a 200-medley relay victory in 1:58.78. Rozeboom, Larsen and Nelson followed that up later in the 200 relay where Seidl helped the Wildcats swim to first place in 1:43.04. Seidl, Ver Voort and Nelson helped Verona cap the meet with Becca Wilson, taking the 400 free relay in 3:49, Veronas JV team also cruised, 134-29.

On behalf of the Madison Area Youth Soccer Association I would like to extend our sincerest gratitude to numerous groups and individuals who were extremely helpful with the recently completed Irwin A. & Robert D. Goodman Pitch and UW Health Sports Medicine Pavilion projects at our Reddan Soccer Park facility. First and foremost, the Irwin A. & Robert D. Goodman Foundation whose generous gift made the state-of-the art field named in their honor possible. Thousands of children, adults and their families will benefit from this playing surface. It's durability, consistency and quality make it a special venue for athletes of all ages. Additional help and support for this field came from the US Soccer Foundation and their award to us of a Footprint Fields grant in conjunction with FieldTurf which makes the best synthetic sports surfaces in the world. Other highly skilled contributors include Lone Oak Interests and H&H Civil Construction. The UW Health Sports Medicine Pavilion, built by J.H. Findorff & Son, underscores our commitment to the health, safety and performance of all athletes who compete at Reddan Soccer Park. UW Health Sports Medicine, Unity Health and American Family Children's Hospital were early champions of our capital campaign and we could not be more thankful for their endorsement. Reddan Soccer Park is part of the Dane County Parks system and is tremendously proud of that fact. We benefit from the guidance and advice of their staff and Commission. Similarly, the City of Verona has embraced our facility and facilitated its growth and success. In particular, Mayor Jon Hochkammer, Alderman Mac McGilvray, Administrator Bill Burns, Director of Public Works Ron Rieder and Planner Adam Sayre. Their thoroughness, fairness and directness are assets to the community. Verona Area High School and Edgewood High School could not be more positive in their use of the facility and we take pride in the fact that their excellent soccer programs call Reddan "home". Local youth clubs who made contributions of money and enthusiastic backing include Verona Area Soccer Club, Magic Soccer Club, Regent Soccer Club and Middleton United Soccer Club. The vision and gifts and the Madison 56ers were particularly essential. Finally, JSD Professional Services, Inc., located in Verona, has steered numerous projects at our venue, ensured that everything came together seamlessly and on time. Many more deserve thanks and praise than can be mentioned in this letter. Not the least of which are the countless families in South Central Wisconsin and throughout the Midwest who we look forward to hosting for many more years at the beautiful Reddan Soccer Park.

It was so cool to see so many people come out and support girls golf, Hernandez said. It is so hard to explain, but it feels real. You work for this. This is it. You have done everything you could, and this is just such an amazing feeling. Verona entered Tuesdays meet 10 strokes back of Arrowhead and one stroke back of Middleton. But the Wildcats leapt Middleton in the first three holes and never looked back. Instead, Verona had its sights on catching Arrowhead, a feat that seemed very plausible as the girls hit the back nine down six strokes. With Reinecke picking up a birdie on six to go to 3-under, it stirred possible drama as the gallery seemed to multiply on the final

Timeline
March 23, 2010: President Barack Obama signs ACA into law Oct. 1, 2013: Health insurance marketplaces open Dec. 15: Deadline to sign up for coverage beginning Jan. 1, 2014 Jan. 1, 2014: Coverage begins for those who signed up March 31: Last day to sign up in 2014 healthcare exchange

Many of the roughly 20 people who attended an Oct. 2 informational talk in Verona on the Affordable Care Act wondered how the law will affect their Medicare coverage. Sen. John Erpenbachs answer: It wont. Erpenbach held one of a few listening sessions around his district at the Verona Senior Center, and much of his talk focused on explaining the new law has no effect on Medicare to the largely senior audience. Medicare doesnt change at all, he said. The way it is today, what youre used to, what youre used to dealing with, is the way its going to be tomorrow. Mike Bare, a District 4 alder and the research and program coordinator for the Community Advocates Public Policy Institute, joined Erpenbach and presented a host of other information on the law. He cited three essential functions for the new marketplaces the ACA set up: Be a traffic cop and help direct people where to go, manage competition and deliver subsidies. Getting to the point where everyone is starting from the same page is the goal, Bare said. Bare also focused on the changes to Wisconsins Medicaid program, BadgerCare, which will force some Wisconsinites to act quickly after they are notified if

they cannot continue in the program because of funding changes to the program. Those who will no longer be covered will be notified Nov. 18, and will have until Dec. 15 to enroll in the ACA marketplace and pay their premium for new health coverage to begin on Jan. 1. Dec. 15 is a very important date, Erpenbach said. While the marketplace will remain open until March 31, 2014, for enrolling this time around, if a person signs up after Dec. 15, their coverage will not begin until the first of the month one month after they sign up. Someone signing up Dec. 16, for example, would get coverage beginning Feb. 1. Erpenbach and Bare were both excited about the marketplaces beginning to open, even as the website, healthcare.gov, faced issues due to

the high volume of traffic it received. Erpenbach said that showed people are ready and excited about the law going into effect. At a similar forum later that night at the Oregon Public Library, Erpenbach encouraged the audience to be patient, reminding them there is plenty of time until the Dec. 15 deadline. The two presenters touted the new requirements the law puts on insurance companies, including covering children up to the age of 26 on their parents plan, banning refusal of coverage based on preexisting conditions and banning lifetime and annual limits on coverage, among other new reforms. Weve all had friends, families, neighbors who end up with cancer, who end up with an extremely expensive situation and all of us have gone to fundraisers, whether its at a tavern, whether its at a church, whether its in a senior center, whatever the case may be, because their insurance ran out, Erpenbach said. One of the best things about this is, God forbid something happens to someone close to you or something happens to you, you dont need to worry about bumping up to that cap. Erpenbach estimated the law will affect around 700,000 people in Wisconsin, mostly those who are uninsured but also some who may want to change their insurance policies and shop around.

The 30 or so attendees at a Wednesday night talk on the school districts achievement gap werent ready for the discussion to end when the Verona Public Library was getting ready to close at 8:30 p.m. So they just kept going. We could have gone longer, said Verona Area School District superintendent Dean Gorrell, who had given a much shorter talk on the subject to a chamber of commerce meeting a few weeks earlier. Gorrell joined Kaleem Caire, the CEO of the Urban League of Greater Madison, in discussing the topic, which has vexed Verona for several years. It refers to the difference in test scores between minorities and white students. Gorrell and Caire both spent about 20 minutes afterward the meeting speaking individually with attendees who wanted to know more or share their ideas. The event, titled The Economic Impact of the Achievement Gap,

focused on the gaps not just between students of different races but also income levels. It eventually turned into a discussion on the merits of early childhood education, which Caire believes could fix many of the problems creating the gap. Verona added a 4-yearold kindergarten program, called Pre-K, last fall, joining the more than 80 percent of Wisconsin districts that already had such a program. The crowd offered many of the reasons the achievement gap exists, including expectations from teachers, a lack of positive role models or mentors, poverty and the stress of sheer survival some students have to face every day. Many in the audience expressed support for the ideas behind Caires early childhood education, optimistic that it could help overcome some of the factors they had mentioned. Gorrell pointed to specific gaps in Verona, especially between income levels and races, that exist in both test scores and in the numbers of students in Advanced Placement classes. The fact that were not proud of it and were willing to (talk about it) is the only way were going to crack this nut, Gorrell

said. That has to be the first step to doing something about it. Gorrell also presented national information from a 2009 study by McKinsey and Company that said if the four achievement gaps were closed (between the United States and other countries; between black and Latino students and white students; between students of different income levels; and between similar students in different systems or regions of the U.S.), it could increase the U.S. GDP up to 30 percent. Imagine if you could do something 30 percent better than you do it now, he said after the event. Tonya Benz, who has two children in Verona elementary schools, said she attended the talk because she knows the achievement gap exists, but wanted to understand it better. I want to know what I can do to help, she said. She found the discussion and presentations thought-provoking, and although the economic facts shown were a little bit overwhelming, she hopes to get involved in mentoring or volunteering in the schools in whatever ways she can.

Downtown: Looking for feedback on short-, long-term ideas

Continued from Page 1 will see how such choices in the 20-year traffic plan could turn out from the five-lane main intersection to a more extensive park at Hometown Junction and help shape other choices, like the difficult Lincoln Street-East Verona Avenue intersection. There are some things that are not yet narrowed down, MSA planner Jason Valerius told the Verona Press last week. We will explain the recommendations that have been made We will be showing the recommended alternatives.

Core and gateway

While past public meetings have had some disagreement among members of the public, planners have identified some common themes and points of agreement in what theyve presented to Veronans. In general, theres been consensus that the downtown area should be a meeting place and center of community social life. City leaders and those who have attended prior forums tend to agree that there are really two parts of downtown: the core area extending a few blocks from the Four Corners intersection and the downtown gateway areas to the east and west of the core. Design feedback showed Veronans tended to want wider sidewalks with paved

Renderings courtesy MSA

Some of the diagrams that will be available at Mondays open house include (above) one of several options for fixing a looming traffic problem at the Lincoln Street intersection, where the fire station is housed and (left, top to bottom), the north, central and south areas along Main Street.

terraces, trees and planter boxes. They want to see consistent streetscaping in the downtown core, but wanted a different look from the gateway area. Buildings should have 5- to 15-foot setbacks from the sidewalk and should only be two or three stories tall in the core area. Taller buildings 3-4 stories were considered fine in the gateway areas. Residents have been open to losing on-street parking if accommodations are made for off-street parking, and they have been receptive to time-of-day restrictions for some on-street parking.

Many of the plans presented Monday would not happen for a few decades and would require significant public and private investment.
that is now the Military Ridge State Trail, and previous downtown plans have considered options for that space. If Ellis were to move in the next few decades, its site could be a possible location for condominiums. The plan goes as far west as Legion Street, where it considers what could replace Wildcat Lanes, which went into receivership last year but is still operating. On the western edge of the downtown core, a twostory mixed used building with parking could fit on the corner of Legion Street and West Verona Avenue. A proposed dropoff area near Westlawn Avenue could make the intersection safer near the two schools, day care center and senior apartments that are located within a block.

would be costly. Add a signal at Lincoln Avenue and move the Enterprise Drive signal to Horizon Drive. Planners added the fourth option since the last steering committee meeting and explained that keeping the signal at Enterprise and adding one to Lincoln would put the lights too close together to function properly.

Long term, short term

Many of the plans presented Monday would not happen for a few decades and would require significant public and private investment. But they would provide goals to work on. A few are shorter-term improvements that could be made to improve traffic flow, building access and pedestrian safety. For example, in the next two years, the city could install pavement markings to make driveways more accessible and add parking behind the Sows Ear and Avantis. Silent Street could be connected and a new dropoff site near the middle school could help traffic flow. Medium term fixes within the next five years or so could include temporary lane additions to the Four Corners intersection, improvements to Lincoln Street and more downtown parking. Landscape features could enhance the look and feel of the downtown area, too. Longer-term plans for the next few decades are more planning tools for city staff and elected officials. These plans will guide future land use and allow officials to plan for right-of-way acquisition. Mondays meeting wont be the last chance for residents to share their thoughts on the plan. The downtown steering committee will review the feedback from the public meeting and incorporate it into what they hope to be the final draft plan. That plan will head to the citys Plan Commission and Common Council for public hearings and reviews as early as December.

Accommodate growth
A citys plans can only go so far to determine how the downtown can grow, but choices in roads and parking help narrow down what sort of development is likely to happen. At Main Street and Verona Avenue, the plan shows a left turn lane in each direction, along with a single through lane and a mixed through/right turn lane will be found in each direction. Fitting those in probably would force out the current Kelleys Market gas station, and one of the maps shows how that corner could be rebuilt to add a larger retail building downtown and better accommodate parking, as well. At the northern entrance to downtown, near Silent Street, the plans suggest townhomes along the west side of the street and an office building at the longplanned connection of Silent Street to Main Street. North Main Street could eventually be filled with a mix of retail and residential buildings and parking accommodations. The south entrance to downtown would focus on retaining parking with the widened street and adding public facilities, like a band shell or other park amenities in Hometown Junction Park. The plan also considers what could happen if Ellis Manufacturing were to relocate. The power tool manufacturer was originally built along a railroad corridor

Lincoln Street fix

One spot that is still up for debate is the area near Lincoln Street and East Verona Avenue. That block could be redeveloped with a mixture of office, retail and multifamily housing buildings, but there isnt yet a clear answer for how traffic might be handled in this part of town especially with plans for a new fire station in the works. Four options will be presented, all with their own particular challenges. Leave Lincoln Street asis, though there are sightline challenges for traffic and pedestrians. Align Lincoln Street with Gilman Street, which creates a costly redevelopment proposal. Realign Lincoln Street to Enterprise Drive through the area currently home to the ice arena which also

Verona History
August
40 years ago
The Verona school board approved a bid of just over $14,000 to build a new hardsurface, six-lane, all-weather asphalt track at the high school. That track was rebuilt last year at a cost of more than $1 million, though that included fixing drainage issues and the turf and expanding the track to nine lanes. Representatives from the University of Wisconsin Foundation presented plans for two golf courses and a $25 million residential development to the Town of Verona and Verona school board. The area, at County M and PD, did eventually get a golf course called University Ridge but not until 1991, and it did not include a residential development. A 16-year-old Verona boy died a month after being run over and dragged by a car for about 70 feet on a rural road west of Middleton. The boy, David Steva, had been lying curled up on the road after arguing with his parents about staying out with friends. Population estimates showed that the village had grown 14 percent since the 1970 census, to 2,653. The population of the village and town were almost identical in 1970. The Kamm-Ann Bowl opened after months of construction. The 12-lane alley, which included a restaurant, facilities for live music and a banquet area, is now known as Wildcat Lanes. School started for 1,625 students in the district, up 2.5 percent from the year before. State superintendent Herbert Grover addressed Verona school staff during the annual welcome back inservice. for a drug search, police found 70 pounds of marijuana, a street value of $96,000, bailed into five packages in a suitcase. They also found $10,000 cash in the apartment. One arrest was made, a 22-year-old woman, but the suspect of the original warrant remained at large. The Dane County Board authorized its parks department to purchase an 80-acre site from the Dane County Sheriffs Office that had formerly served as a firing range for area law enforcement. The range, west of Range Trail and north of Sunset Drive, had closed in the early 1990s as neighbors raised concerns over noise and safety. The land, purchased and later rehabilitated with part of the more than $500,000 that had been willed to the Parks Commission from Riley native Walter R. Scheidegger, officially opened in 2010 as Scheidegger County Forest. The Verona Area Board of Education decided to sell three residential lots next to the Stoner Prairie Elementary School in Fitchburg to a developer. The revenue was put toward the purchase of land in the Tollefson development now known as Hawthorne Hills on Whalen Road, which would become the site of Glacier Edge Elementary School in 2006. The deal was postponed after neighbors argued they bought their houses with the belief that the land would be turned into a park. A string of thefts involving golf clubs hit the Cross Country Heights and Raywood neighborhoods. Beer was also a target in two garage break-ins in the neighborhoods. The beer was reportedly heisted by teenage youths, based on what witnesses estimated. The golf clubs stolen had an accumulated worth of $3,300. The Sugar River Gardeners held their first annual garden contest to honor those who work to beautify their lands, and therefore beautify Verona. The Green Thumb Award went to Jack and Judy Ferreri. The Creative Design Award went to Tom and Lauri Hartjes. The Color Burst Award went to Ken and Marsha Behnke. Members of the Matts family dedicated a monument at Firemans Park. The family is descended from Josiah H.B. Matts, the pioneer of Verona who emigrated from Pennsylvania in 1844. Curt Leister returned from a competition in England as a member of the USA Young Eagles U-21 rifle team with a gold and silver medal. The team competed in the 134th Imperial Meeting and the World Long Range Rifle Championships. The team won the Astor Tankard Trophy and gold medals at the Imperial meet, while coming in second and earning silver at the World Long Range Matches Ashley Luginbuhl, 9, was chosen as a state finalist in the National American Miss Wisconsin Pageant.

The school board approved a charter school resolution to give it the option of starting a charter school the following year. No school had been planned, but the state had told superintendents that the first 10 districts to submit requests would be approved. Eventually, New Century School and Core Knowledge Charter School were among the first charters in the state, established in 1995 and 1996, respectively. The school board narrowly voted to create one early release day per month for teachers planning by adding a few minutes to each school day. A plan to use substitute teachers for staff development times had been cut out of the budget, and this was a last-minute replacement, effective immediately. The citys contracted planner, Michael Slavney, warned that the city needed stronger zoning laws to protect it with Madison growing closer. Slavney, of Vandewalle Associates, said Veronas ordinances were the loosest in the county other than Stoughton. The school district began installing Help boxes in each school to allow students to report vandalism and other problems of interest to police. The idea came from crime prevention officer Steve Ottman, after he picked it up from a training session.

Sec. 3-6-3 - Fire Impact Fee. (a) Short Title. This Section shall be known and may be cited as the Fire Impact Fee Ordinance. (b) Authority and Purpose. Pursuant to the authority of Sec. 66.0617, Wis. Stats., the local impact fees enabling legislation, the purpose of this Section is to establish the mechanism for the imposition of impact fees upon new development to finance the capital costs associated with constructing fire facilities, the demand for which is generated by new development. This Section is intended to assure that new development bears an appropriate share of the cost of capital expenditures necessary to provide appropriate fire facilities in the City. (c) Definitions. The definitions set forth in Sec. 66.0617(1), Wis. Stats., and any amendments thereto, are hereby incorporated and made a part of this Section. In addition, the following words and terms shall be used: (1) City. The City of Verona, Wisconsin. (2) Common Council. The Common Council of the City of Verona. (3) Capital Costs. The capital costs to construct, expand or improve public facilities, including the cost of land, and including legal, engineering and design costs to construct, expand or improve public facilities, except that not more than ten percent (10%) of capital costs may consist of legal, engineering and design costs unless such costs relate directly to the public improvement for which the impact fees were imposed and actually exceed ten percent (10%) of the capital costs. (4) Impact Fee. Cash contributions that are imposed on a developer by the City under this section. (5) Land Development. The construction or modification of improvements to real property that creates additional residential dwelling units within the City or that results in nonresidential uses that create a need for new, expanded or improved public facilities within the City. (6) Developer. A person that constructs or creates a land development. (7) Public Facilities. For purposes of this Section, as defined in Sec.

ORDINANCE NO. 13-834 AN ORDINANCE CREATING SECTION 3 OF CHAPTER 6 OF TITLE 3, FIRE IMPACT FEE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF VERONA

***

66.0617(1)(f), Wis. Stats., means fire protection facilities. (8) Service Area. For purposes of fire protection needs analysis, the service area is defined as the City of Verona as well as territory outside of the City of Verona that is served by the Verona Fire Department. (d) Impact Fee Revenue Administration. (1) Revenues from each impact fee that is imposed shall be placed in separate, segregated, interest-bearing accounts and shall be accounted for separately from other City funds. Impact fee revenues and interest earned thereon shall be expended only for the particular capital costs for which the impact fees were imposed, unless the fee is refunded under Subsection (2). (2) Impact fee revenues imposed and collected but not used within ten (10) years after collection to pay the capital costs for which they were imposed, along with any interest that has accumulated, shall be refunded to the current record owner or owners of the property with respect to which the impact fees were imposed, subject to a three-year extension for extenuating circumstances as described in Subsection (3). (3) The ten-year time limit for using the impact fees may be extended for three (3) years if the Common Council adopts a resolution stating that, due to extenuating circumstances or hardship in meeting the ten-year limit, it needs an additional three (3) years to use the impact fees that were collected. (e) Use of Impact Fees. Funds collected from impact fees shall be used solely for the purpose of paying the proportionate costs of providing public facilities that may become necessary due to land development. These costs may include the costs of debt service on bonds or similar debt instruments when the debt has been incurred for the purpose of proceeding with designated public facilities projects prior to the collection of all anticipated impact fees for that project, to reimburse the City for advances of other funds or reserves, and such other purposes consistent with Sec. 66.0617, Wis. Stats., which are recorded and approved by the Common Council. (f) Payment of Impact Fees. All required impact fees, unless expressly exempted in a section of this Chapter, shall be paid in full upon the issuance of a building permit. Impact fee payments shall be assumed to be the responsibility of the developer or the property owner. (g) Appeals. The payment of an impact fee imposed under this Section may be contested as to the amount, collection or use of the impact fee to the Common Council, provided that the applicant files a written notice of appeal in the City Clerks office within thirty (30) days of payment of the impact fee. Such notice of appeal shall be entitled Notice of Appeal of Impact Fee and shall state the applicants name, address, telephone number, address (if available) and legal description of the land development upon which the impact fee is imposed, and a statement of the nature of and reasons for the appeal. The City Clerk shall schedule the appeal for consideration by the Common Council at a regular meeting as soon as reasonably practicable under the circumstances and shall notify the applicant of the time, date and place of such meeting in writing by regular mail, deposited in the mail no later than at least ten (10) days before the date of such meeting. Upon review of such appeal, the Common Council may adjust the amount, collection or use of the impact fee upon just and reasonable cause shown. (h) Basis for Determining the Fire Impact Fee. The basis for the imposition of this impact fee is the impact fee report titled City of Verona Report on a Fire Protection Impact Fee and Public Facilities Needs Assessment prepared by Baker Tilly Virchow Krause LLP dated July 31, 2013, which is on file in the office of the City Clerk of the City of Verona. These impact fees shall be collected and expended until the capital costs associated with the projects specified in the City of Verona Report on a Fire Protection Impact Fee and Public Facilities Needs Assessment have been incurred and satisfied. (i) Impact Fee Schedule. At the time a building permit for land development is issued, the developer shall pay impact fees for fire protection public facilities as follows: (1) Fire Protection Impact Fees. a. Residential: i. Owner Occupied: ($310) per unit. ii. Renter Occupied/Multifamily: ($213) per unit. b. Nonresidential: i. Fee per One Thousand Dollar ($1,000.00) valuation: $2.10. (j) Review. The impact fees contained herein shall be reviewed by the Common Council periodically. (k) Severability. If any section, phrase, sentence, or portion of this ordinance is for any reason held invalid or unconstitutional by any court of competent jurisdiction, such portions shall be deemed separate, distinct, and independent provision, and such holding shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions thereof. (Ord. No. 13-834, 10-14-2013) The foregoing ordinance was duly adopted by the Common Council of the City of Verona at a meeting held on October 14, 2013. CITY OF VERONA Jon H.
