what officials had hoped.
Resident students, or the number of school-age children living within VASD boundaries, is
down by three from September
2013. Officials had projected a
121-student increase during the
budget process earlier in the year.
(A three-student drop) in and
of itself wouldnt be anything to
get worried about, but remember
we had anticipated an increase in

resident students by 121 kids,
superintendent Dean Gorrell
explained to the school board
Monday night.
That 124-student difference
will cost the district around
$480,000 in its revenue cap, Gorrell said, though some of that
should be made up by a higherthan-projected number of students
open enrolling into the district
compared with those open enrolling out.

The butts in seats number,
which is unrelated to state aid but
relevant as the district considers
an April referendum to purchase
three pieces of land, also dropped
by 24.

drops were at Country View and

Verona Press
Coming up with a name for the newest massive

building project at Epic was pretty simple.
Its deep and its space, chief administrative
officer Steve Dickmann told the Verona Press as he
walked around the 830,000-square-foot auditorium and
office building in mid-September. Thats as literal as
it gets.
And there was born the name Deep Space, for the
building that houses an 11,400-seat auditorium, one
of the biggest indoor gathering facilities in the state.
It continues a theme at Epics Galactic Headquarters on the west side of Verona that started with the
first buildings on campus, the alphabetically named
Andromeda, Borealis, Cassiopeia and Dened.
It also makes a sci-fi reference (to a Star Trek spinoff series), as seen with names like Endor (the tree
house building) and Yoda (the second parking garage).
This whole astronomical thing we have going
just was double-meaning, Dickmann pointed out.
The new auditorium building has been open for
more than a year, but construction wasnt completely

Verona Area School District
School safety, security

information event Oct. 21
SCOTT DE LARUELLE
SCOTT GIRARD
If you go
School safety can be

about more than what happens inside the walls of
a building during school
hours.
As social media use
becomes more common,
bullying through media
like Twitter and Facebook
have become nationally
discussed issues.
The Verona Area School
District hopes to enlighten
parents on that topic, as
well as what measures do
go on inside the buildings
every day, through a Back
to School Safety Night
Oct. 21.
The event, at 6 p.m.,
Tuesday, Oct. 21, will feature five different presentations.
Representatives from the
Wisconsin Department of
Consumer Protection will
open the evening with a presentation on social media
safety and a pair of Verona
Police Department officers
will follow that with a discussion of bullying.
Sarah Hendrickson,
a law enforcement liaison with Journey Mental Health, will then talk
about teen suicide prevention.
VASD school security
coordinator Todd Endl,
who organized the event
What: Back to school

When: 6 p.m., Tuesday,
Oct. 21
Where: VAHS PAC, 300
Richard Street
Info: verona.k12.wi.us
after seeing that one was
done in Sun Prairie last
year, will close out the presentations with a look at
what safety measures the
district takes and a brief
overview of the new RAPTOR visitation system that
requires a photo ID for visitors to enter a school.
The visitation system
is currently in place at
Verona Area High School
and will spread to other
schools throughout the
district as the year progresses.
Theres so many ways
of trying to contact parents and letting them
know whats going on,
(this event is) just making
another opportunity for
them to see whats going
on in the district, Endl
told the Press.
For more information on
the event, which will take
place at the VAHS Performing Arts Center, visit

Verona women to be honored as cancer champions

When the diagnosis came
last January, Lindsey Snow
had just signed up to compete in a half-Ironman competition.
Clearly, cancer had picked
a tough fight.
A bilingual resource teacher at Verona Area School
District, Snow was 34 years
old, healthy and active, teaching several classes a week
at a local gym while training for one of the toughest
physical events ever created.
Being diagnosed with breast
cancer was one of the furthest things from her mind.
It hit me out of the
blue, Snow said.
Refusing to give in, she ran
five miles before every chemotherapy treatment, and
continued to bike and swim,
trying her best to continue
her normal training routine.
Snows dedication to beat
cancer caught the eye of her
surgeon, who nominated her
to be honored by the Susan
G. Komen Foundation. As
part of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month in
October, Susan G. Komen
South Central Wisconsin is
hosting a private celebration
in Madison on Oct. 10 called
Imagine the Cure where
breast cancer survivors like
Snow will share their stories.
Not to speak for (the

surgeon), but she saw me as

someone who didnt let the
diagnosis define who I was;
it didnt stop or change my
lifestyle, Snow said. Ive
been somebody who has
continued to work and play.
Snow finished treatment this
August, having worked parttime in the Verona School
district since she was diagnosed in January 2013. Last
month, she returned to work
full-time, and said students
and staff were extremely
supportive through it all.
I work in elementary buildings, so the kids dont necessarily know a lot, but the
adults all knew, all the way
down to the nitty gritty surgery stories, she said. It
has been an opportunity for

education, since Im a teacher.
Cancer-free for 22
years
Cara Gavins life
changed with a bit in the
spring of 1992. She and
her family had just moved
from New Jersey to Wisconsin after she accepted
a job to be the librarian at Verona High School.
Then she found out
she had breast cancer.
It came as quite a shock,
but everyone rallied
around me, Gavin said.
Now, eight years after
retiring from her job as
librarian, Gavin has been

cancer-free for 22 years,
and feels it important to
pass along the lessons shes
learned in the process.
Ive tried to reach out
to any and every person
I know through family
and friends, to let people
know there is great hope,
she said. Especially
with Susan G. Komen,
that foundation has given
a lot of hope, and I try
to let people know about
their enthusiasm and support for us survivors.
Gavin has seen a considerable increase in breast
cancer awareness and
participation in events
like the Race for a Cure
in the past two decades.
Its pretty rare to be someone whose family or someone they know has not been
affected, she said. There
are so many women, moms
and wives we have a
small little survivors group
of about five or six of us
and weve been getting
together for a long time.

Taco Bell gets commission OK

Adam Sayre said was unlikely anytime soon.
I think they want to keep
their options open, he said
of parent company Blains
Supply.
The commission had no
major issues with this lowerintensity plan, which features
a right-in, right-out road on
the east end of the lot next to
the bike path. Despite a loop
next to the first building, the
pickup window would not be
a full drive-thru; there will be
no ordering station, making
it similar to the Little Caesars setup.

The Taco Bell drive-thru has space for eight cars, including three behind the menu board, which was
enough to get the support of the Plan Commission, despite reservations over the sharp turn at entry.
traffic flow.
The 2,006-square-foot
restaurant will have 40 seats
and a 24-seat outdoor patio,
with construction expected
to start in early 2015.
Taco Bell is well known
for encouraging late-night
business a recent advertising campaign promotes
the Fourth Meal but East
Verona Avenue has already
opened the floodgates with
the 24-hour McDonalds.
This site is even farther
from any potentially conflicting residential neighborhoods and is along the
same Farm-and-Fleet outlot
strip with four other food
service restaurants, two of
which have drive-thrus.
County Farm building

The commission also
reviewed a potential retail
building with a pickup window just east of Taco Bell.
The County Farm land,
owned by Tim Neitzel
since the county sold it off
for planned commercial
use in 2007, has had multiple appearances at the Plan
Commission, without success. Previous plans included
a locally based restaurant
called Murphys Hometown
Hideaway, which never
got financing, an apartment
complex that didnt get good
reviews from the commission and a new home for
AgSource (plus a theoretical
hotel and restaurant), which

ran into problems of access.
All plans for this lot will
likely have trouble with
access until Farm and Fleet
decides to allow a connection
to Hometown Circle, something city planning director
The commission pored

over a complete draft plan
for the North Neighborhood,
which the city will need to
finish in order to grow toward
County Hwy. PD.
The city has been working on the plan all year, and
it would be several months
before the city could even consider plans from developers.
But Verona has no other significant residential areas left to
expand into in the near future.
Several commissioners
and the mayor asked to delete
a statement supporting bus
service within the development (as opposed to simply
to it). Commissioner Scott
Manley didnt think that fit
with Veronas image, saying he didnt want the city to
become a light beer version

Unless the Common

Council has objections to
having a late-night drivethru restaurant at the end
of a chain-filled strip of
East Verona Avenue, Taco
Bells plans for Verona are
set.
Despite a detailed conversation about the awkward queue drivers will
face to order their food,
the Plan Commission voted
unanimously Monday to
approve a site plan for the
ubiquitous Mexican-themed
fast-food restaurant with
no changes to the setup
and only one minor change
overall. The trash receptacle will be placed out of the
way of the ordering window, a change Taco Bell
representatives said they
actually preferred.
The commission also recommended approval of the
conditional use permit, a
requirement for all restaurants and all drive-thrus.
Awkward drive-thru lines
are nothing new in Verona,
what with the loop-aroundtwice McDonalds and the
winding, around-the-pond
Dairy Queen setup. Taco
Bells will go around a
stormwater pond just like
in the DQ plan, only drivers will instead enter from
farther east and make an
immediate right turn, rather
than coming from the western edge and making a left.
Commissioners expressed
some concern about that
but eventually concluded
that unlike the Taco Bell at
Fitchburgs Orchard Pointe
(near Hy-Vee and Goodwill), there would be room
for three cars to line up
behind the ordering window
before the queue would
start to complicate traffic.
A suggestion to reconfigure
the Hometown Circle entry
to come from the east was
nixed immediately by the
city engineer because of its
proximity to the stoplight.
Taco Bells civil engineer
said the eight-car queue
meets the corporate target based on the speed of
service. Drive-thru orders
account for 70 percent of
the restaurants business.
The exit is awkward, too,
as drivers will be closer to
the shared driveway with
Dairy Queen than where
they are supposed to go,
but a speed hump and a
sign will be constructed
to encourage the correct
of Madison, and Mayor Jon

Hochkammer said he would
concur.
Commissioner Steve
Heinzen disagreed and rattled
off a list of suburban communities with bus service to
neighborhoods, saying theres
a lot of value in bus service.
Manley also questioned
designing the entire plan
around a school when the
school district has yet to purchase land, but no specific
changes were suggested.
The plan, which recommends high-end design
guidelines befitting its gateway location, includes several maps. The land use map
shows land for Epic west of
Nine Mound Road, mostly
green space east of County
Hwy. M and a mix of commercial and residential in
between, with the commercial
mostly along the main roads
and apartments serving as a
buffer.
It needs city approval as
an amendment to the comprehensive plan, then the OK
from the City of Madisons
Plan Commission. After that,
it would be a piece of a submission for urban service area
expansion to the Capital Area
Regional Planning Commission. Each of those processes
are generally two months or
more, and only then could the
city consider development
plans in the area and plan utility extensions.

Letters to the editor
Assisted suicide gives people a choice

Only four states have complete
respect for our dying citizens.
Only four states in our country
give the power back to those who
have had it taken away by a terminal illness. Terms like euthanasia
and suicide leave a bad taste in the
mouths of people who talk about
Physician Assisted Suicide and
dont even know the details of it.
However, when my uncle was
dying from cancer in his early
forties, his pride and autonomy
were stripped from his soul and all
he wanted was to die on his own
terms- with dignity. Like many
people, he just wanted to have the
last word in his fight with cancer.
Physician Assisted Suicide,
with restrictions such as life
expectancy and psychological
assessments, should be legalized
in Wisconsin.
My uncle was not alone in his
desire to die with dignity. In Oregon, a state with legalized Physician Assisted Suicide, 115 people
requested PAS in 2012 alone .
That is 115 people who had their
choices in life decided daily by a
terminal illness. That is 115 people who took that choice back.
Now dont get me wrong, I do
not support physicians countrywide prescribing lethal doses of
narcotics to every average Joe
who walks into a clinic and asks
to die. There are moral restrictions
policy makers need to heavily

consider. For example, as someone in the Social Work field,
I understand and promote the
importance for someone requested
PAS to be assessed by a professional.
Trained social workers or psychologists would be able to talk
through the clients decision and
give their opinion on whether the
client is making the request out
of depression and anger, or with a
healthy outlook on their situation,
into which they have put extensive thought.
Keep this in mind as you move
forward. Keep my uncles plea to
decide his own fate in mind. Keep
the hundreds of other patients of
terminal illnesses in mind as we
fight to legalize Physician Assisted Suicide in Wisconsin.
When you go through your
days, think of how many choices are yours and be grateful for
those choices, and remember to
voice your support of giving back
choices to those who have but one
choice left. Physician Assisted
Suicide is a noble concept and
should be supported, just as our
loved ones facing death should be
supported.

Being rich at the beach,

one of these days...
T
here seem to be countless

opportunities in Costa
Rica. Everything seems
possible. Business, vacations,
cultural exchanges, volunteering
are always being talked about.
There isnt a week where there
isnt something like that to keep
me up thinking at night. Most
ideas never get much past the
sketch on a napkin stage, but
nevertheless
the dreams and
possibilities are
what keep me
occupied every
week.
Recently I
was stuck on
the idea that I
had to invest
Dresser
at the beach.
Something
about having nothing but the
deep blue ocean in front of you
and nothing but a plush rainforest behind you, waking up each
day with a walk to the beach and
a dip in the pool, pina colada in
hand, seemed like paradise to
me.
I was certain Costa Rica Frika
2 was opening sooner or later at
the beach. I just had to make sure
this wasnt a phase like Power
Rangers or Pokemon was as a
kid growing up. So like all good
investors do, I scouted it.
I had been to this particular
beach before for two to three
days at a time, but I still felt like
a tourist every time I arrived
there. I just hadnt been able to
find a property that fit what I was
looking for.
Until this time. It was a small
apartment complex situated on
top of a mountain with a direct
ocean view a few minutes walking from town.
This was right up my alley, and
from the pictures on the Internet
and having direct contact with
the owner when I made the reservation, I knew this could be a
very good visit.
Lucky for me I was only staying as a guest, and not as an owner. Because it wasnt anything
like what I had expected.
You see, marketing is really
an amazing tool. Done well, you
can dress up just about anything
to look and sound like the Taj
Mahal. Fortunately, this wasnt
dream Costa Rican vacation,
because the only thing I dreamed
about during my stay there was
how much better this place could
be with some substantial investment.
The website didnt lie; you can
definitely see the ocean, and the
property borders a private wildlife reserve in which we were
able to see howler monkeys playing in the trees the first day we
arrived. The pool was even nice
and well-kept.
That is about where the pleasantries ended.
Even when lounging at the
pool, I couldnt help but notice
the overgrown grass, the plants
growing wildly out of control,
and dirt caked on the sidewalk,
having eroded from last nights
rainstorm. As I turned to look
back at the apartment building,
I noticed that some of the units
appeared to have been under construction at one point but were
abandoned, that there had once
been three floors to the building
and there was now a makeshift
roof over the concrete floor on
the second.
And the whole place looked
like it could use a paint job, as
the salt and humidity in the air
has had its way with the apartment complex.
I felt blessed to have only prepaid for one night, instead of the
three Id planned on. We arrived
to find the advertised wi-fi didnt
work, the water might not work
and we couldnt unlock our safe
in our room after we had locked
our valuables inside it.
At least we had the pool while
we waited for the locksmith.
Im sure some people would

have turned around and left at
this point, and not too long ago
I would have done the same
myself. This is obviously how all
disaster vacations begin, right?
But maybe since I came with
an investors mindset, the only
feeling I could strongly identify
with at that point was pity. I felt
bad for the owner.
I knew he didnt intentionally
not mow the grass or maintain
the garden and that it wouldnt be
cheap to run the must-have wi-fi
signal all the way up the hill to
the apartments.
And so the longer I sat at the
pool the more I felt sorry for
this guy. Maybe he had come to
Costa Rica with big illusions of
developing a great tourist business but for one reason or another things havent quite worked
out. If I had to guess, he probably
underestimated the amount of
money it would take to renovate
and maintain a place like this.
My wife and I speculated it
would cost maybe a half-million
dollars to bring this up to dreamlevel vacation standards. Were
not quite at that level of investment (read: nowhere near), but
we did spend some time at the
pool thinking of what could be
done to this place.
In the end we were reminded
of a common Costa Rica phrase
Cuando sea grande It means
When Im a grown-up
Thats the phrase thats often
used when talking about things
that you dont believe you will
ever do. This was a humbling
experience for me, as I realized
beach ownership isnt quite what
its all cracked up to be.
I stayed my few nights, but
then I was on my way... on to the
next opportunity.

great-nieces and nephews,

and all kinds of wonderful family celebrations, and
youll be there for all of them.
You just want the next clear
scan; thats all youre looking
for. It really does consume
your every waking moment.
Now cancer-free, Hanson
wants to help other people
in their battles against breast
cancer and to increase the
awareness about the disease.
Theres so much to talk
about these days, and the reason is because people are simply surviving theyre alive
to talk about it, she said.
Hanson said the unsung
heroes in the fight against
breast cancer are the
researches who work in anonymity in laboratories across
the world.
They have done so much
to make the treatments be
both more successful and
more manageable and find
ways to make it easier for
people to go through it with
the least amount of problems, she said. Whether
its finding different ways
to target the cancer, or ways
to get earlier diagnoses, or
to prevent or minimize side
effects, they dont get enough
attention because theyve
done us all a world of good
and so many of us are here
and alive because of them.
I dont have a single face
I can think of, because Ive
never met a cancer researcher, so I could say, Thank
you, but gosh, I think about
that.
Town of Verona
Yard waste drop off Oct. 18

Other options for
disposal after
Verona compost site
closes in July
As Town of Verona residents rake leaves and pick
up fallen branches around
the yard this fall, they may
be unsure where to bring
that yard waste.
In July, Dane County
closed its Verona compost
site, but town officials want
to let residents know the
options that remain.
That includes a one-time
yard waste drop-off day
Saturday, Oct. 18, at the
town hall between 9 a.m.
and noon. An email from
town administrator Amanda Arnold to residents said
there might be a second day
if demand is high.
Rules for the drop off
include that you cannot
leave bags with the yard
waste, a limit to one truckload per person, town staff

cannot unload a vehicle and
that the event is only for
individual town residents.
Arnolds email also
mentions a county compost site at 7102 Hwy. 12
and 18, a half-mile east of
Interstate-90, and across
from the Yahara hills Golf
Course in Madison.
Another option is burning the waste, which is
allowed in the town. However, Arnold asks residents
to notify the Verona Fire
Department ahead of time if
you plan to burn the leaves.
Arnold also suggests
home composting, with
information found online
and a possible county staff
presentation on the practice
in the near future, or landscape companies that can
be contracted to pick up
yard waste and brush.

Hilary was a
procrastinator.
She learned breast
cancer isnt.
Hilary crammed a lot into life. Family. Friends. Work. Travel. Some things just had to wait.
Like her mammogram. To give her a nudge, the care team at Meriter UnityPoint Health
called Hilary until she got tested. Her results: breast cancer. Her doctor immediately pulled
together a team of specialists. Together they collaborated to develop one treatment plan
that caught Hilarys cancer in time. Coordinated care is about surrounding you with
care that can save your life. Right down to a phone call from our nurses.
The point of everything we do is you.

When youre going

through something as troubling and life-threatening as
cancer, its nice to hear from
someone who has already
gone to battle with the disease and won.
Verona
Area Senior
Center director Mary
Hanson is
one of the
nicer people
youd ever
hope to meet. Hanson
But when
it came to
fighting breast cancer, she
was one tough customer who
battled through the disease
and beat it. Hanson will be
talking to people at the center
Friday morning and sharing
what she learned from her
experiences.
She was diagnosed in 2004
and went through a lumpectomy and chemotherapy with
no recurrences. Despite the
success, the brush with death
has changed her outlook on
life.
The takeaway for me
was you gotta love the days
youve got, because you
dont know what is going to
happen in your life, or how
much time any one of us
have on this planet, Hanson
said. It definitely changed
me and the way I look at
things. Im always striving for the next step of this
or that, but Im really more
mindful of what really great
things are going on in this
moment.
Battling a disease that
has taken so many lives is
stressful and scary, Hanson said, and it caused her to
take life one day at a time.
You work your way
through it, she said. It
would have been wonderful
if someone would have said
to me, Youre going through
this bad thing, but 10 years
from now, youre going to
be well and happy and have
three new grandchildren and

Having Faith
The injunction to have faith seems to suggest that
we must do something in order to have faith, or that faith
is something we can possess. But, in reality, having faith
is sometimes simply a matter of letting go of our skepticism or unbelief. In this sense, having faith is not so much
something we do, but something we let happen. When
you see the work of God manifesting itself in your life,
allow yourself to believe that this is God at work in you.
Sometimes we just need to have the simple faith of a child
and believe what is before our eyes. This doesnt mean
we have to completely throw our rational mind overboard.
There is a time and a place for science and skepticism, but
science and skepticism are simply tools that should be
used when they are needed. Having faith is more like the
pervasive sense that we are surrounded by Gods loving
presence. We are surrounded by air whether we believe it
or not and in the same way we are surrounded by Gods
presence, whether we know or believe it, and sometimes
we just need to let that awareness happen. Dont try to
force it, just let it be!
Christopher Simon via Metro News Service
For we live by faith, not by sight.

Dane County
Local road projects part of 2015 budget
The proposed operating

budget includes a $6 million levy increase to bring
the total to around $530
million for 2015. Parisi said
this increase falls within the
state-imposed limits with a
4.07 percent increase.
The county is working
with a $509 million operating budget this year. Parisi
said it would cost the county about $3.5 million to
maintain the same level of
service as this year.
In preparing the budget,
Parisi instructed department heads to only propose
new spending if the funding
came from new revenue,
through new partnerships
or by reallocating existing
dollars to reduce the need
for taxpayer dollars, Parisi
said in a news release.
Parisi said the countys
portion of a homeowners
property tax bill accounts
for about 15 percent of the
total. The projected tax
rate $3.118 will rise by
about 1 cent per $100,000
in assessed value compared with last year, but an
increase in assessed values
means taxpayers will pay
slightly more. Actual tax
rates vary by municipality
due to different assessment
calculations and special
levies for libraries or public
health initiatives.
The county executive has
proposed a smaller capital
budget for 2015 $39 million compared to last years
$44.7 million.
The average mill rate

per $1,000 in assessed
property value
2015* $3.12
2014 $3.11
2013 $3.01
2012 $2.87
2011 $2.73
2010 $2.55
2009 $2.37
2008 $2.38
2007 $2.44
2006 $2.55
* County executive
proposed
Overall county tax
rates. Actual rates will
vary by community
because of different
assessment methods
and the appropriation
of special levies (i.e.
library and public
health).

Taxpayer impact
Countywide changes
include a $4 million capital
investment in DaneCom,
a communication system
project several years in the
making that aims to allow
different agencies to work
together on one radio system.
More than a half-million
dollars will also be used
to cover operating costs of
the new system, which is
expected to fix some holes
in coverage.
Parisis plan calls for no
new local government contributions, a move that was
praised by the Dane County
Cities and Villages Association. The DCCVA and
county were at odds several years ago, when local
governments were asked to
chip in a share of the operation and maintenance fees.
The money will be used
to help pay for four additional transmission towers
built by Harris Communications and will provide
stronger coverage for radios.
It will also be far and
away better than any coverage proposed as part of the
original $30 million design
that was widely supported
by public safety associations across the county,
Parisi said in a letter to
county board supervisors.
In addition to the DaneCom improvements, Parisi
is asking to add five new
staff members to the countys 911 call center and
$630,000 for a 911 training
and back-up dispatch center.
As in years past, human

services accounts for the
more than half of the county budget.
The proposed budget also
includes $1.5 million in
funding to continue Joining
Forces for Families offices
and the continued cooperation with the United Way
and its early childhood
learning zones.
Mental Health Crisis Stabilization teams will continue to be funded, along
with $35.4 million of other
programs aimed at helping
people with mental illness.
Nearly $80 million will
go toward programs that
assist people with developmental disabilities.
Work continues on finding solutions for a daytime homeless shelter in
Madison, Parisi said. About
$750,000 is allocated to help
homeless families move into
affordable housing.

Public works projects,

safety improvements and
human services continue to
top the list of county budget
priorities for this coming
year.
Dane County executive Joe Parisi released
his 2015 executive budget
last Wednesday, with an
emphasis on communication systems, road projects,
personnel costs and county
lands and lakes.
His proposed budget
will be reviewed by county
committees and eventually
the full County Board. The
budget is usually adopted
by Thanksgiving, with
discussions slated for this
month.
Locally, specific projects
include additional money
for road projects and recreation improvements,
including the largest capital
budget initiative for County
Hwy. M.
The proposed budget
includes the following:
$6 million for the
reconstruction of Hwy. M
between Valley View and
Cross Country roads
24-hour plowing on
M between Madison and
Verona and on County
Hwy. PD between Fish
Hatchery Road and Nine
Mound Road
$22,000 for a small
dog park at Badger Prairie
County Park

Deep Space: Contractors built roof on ground, then raised it more than 45 feet
Online
Continued from page 1

finished until early September, just before the companys 2014 Users Group
Meetings, which brings
thousands of Epic customers to Verona for a week
each year.
It was those thousands of
visitors, up to an estimated
10,000 this year, that created a need for a new auditorium. Previously, the company used the 5,300-seat
Epicenter, built in 2007, to
host the huge general sessions.
But nowadays, that
wouldnt even hold all of
the companys everyday
employees, up over 7,500,
for their monthly staff
meetings.
We need a venue like
this, Dickmann said.
Deep Space serves as
more than just a meeting
space for thousands of people, as the five-story building also includes plenty of
pre-function, space, or
areas to mill around while
waiting for something to
begin, along with smaller
meeting rooms and offices
for Epic employees.
It seems like every week
or so somebody comes
up with, Can we use it
for this? Can we use it for
that? Is there space in it
that we could grab and put
this function in? Dickmann said. Its (constantly) evolving. I dont think
well know for another two
or three years all the uses.

Raising the roof

JP Cullen broke ground
on the facility in May 2011,
and the path to completion
was not always traditional,
in construction terms.
To begin with, architects
and designers had to work
to figure out how to construct a five-story building that wouldnt block
the view of farmland and
neighboring properties.
These buildings arent
boxed in with a five-story
building sitting there,
Dickmann said of the Campus 2 buildings that surround Deep Spaces roof.
You have no idea theres a
building here.
That goal was accomplished through some creative design, with three
sides of the building basically underground, a
green roof on the top,
complete with a mature
prairie, and the fourth turning into what looks like a
giant entrance to a cave.
But they still had to actually put the building together, including a massive roof
that presented some challenges. The idea of building it in the air, as roofs are
traditionally constructed,
seemed daunting.
One day, Dickmann said,

er-friendly. While this is a

big venue, it feels comfortable.
One factor Dickmann
said contributed to that was
a mix of red, green, blue,
purple and orange chairs
throughout the auditorium,
rather than the traditional
dark red seating, creating a
totally different look than
a normal theater setting.
Despite trying to make it
feel smaller than it is, the
company had to acknowledge the reality of trying
to communicate a message to up to 11,400 people
spread around a large room:
Acoustics and slideshows
can be a challenge.
But the company confronted both of those, as
six giant screens -- three at
the front and three hanging in front of the back
seats -- offer a chance to
better show off slides that
are often full of important
The auditorium
Once the roof was in
place, crews got to work
building the massive auditorium that rivals the size
of the Kohl Center in Madison, where the Wisconsin
Badgers hockey and basketball teams play.
But Dickmann said they
certainly did not want it to
feel that way.
So many large performance venues are very
high-rake, multiple balconies, its very hostile, Dickmann said as
he pointed to the slightly
sloping seats and lack of
balconies that make it feel
even more gigantic than it

statistics they want to

ensure their users see.
To deal with acoustics,
the company included a
set of acoustical panels on
each side wall, though they
look more like pieces of art
than functioning pieces of a
giant auditorium.
Those walls are a key
element of the acoustical
treatment, yet they have this
artistic (look), Dickmann

said. Its a function.
Flexibility
When so much thought
and design goes into a
building, it would seem
waste for it to only be used
for one day a month at
monthly staff meetings and

someone walked into the

room with the idea to build
the roof on the ground and
raise it as a complete unit.
Your initial reaction is,
Were talking about doing
what? Dickmann recalled.
But the more you thought
about it, the more that made
just tremendous sense.
And it worked. Saturday,
Oct. 27, 2012, Dickmann
arrived at the site around 8
a.m., and the roof was up
to about my knees, he said.
I left at about 10
oclock and we were about
12, 14 feet, he recalled.
Back at 4:30 (p.m.), we
were at 45 feet.
Once there, a pair of steel
beams supported the roof
while construction was able
to continue on the rest of
the building.
The alternative method
allowed mechanical, electrical and fire protection
work to be done all from
the much safer ground level
instead of 50 feet up in the
air.
It was really exciting,
Dickmann said. It was one
of those things you probably never see like that
again.
While the different
approach was certainly fun
to see for those involved,
the bottom line was still,
well, the bottom line.
Doing it all over again,
wed do it exactly the same
way. It was absolutely the
right way to do it, Dickmann said, mentioning that
the approach was not only
safer but less expensive.

Deep Space: Cave meeting rooms designed with flexibility in mind

one week a year for UGM.
But Dickmann said its
been designed to be much
more than that, similar to
how the Epicenter building
was years ago. He expects
Deep Space to follow a trajectory like Epicenter has in
its seven years of existence.
People said, How are
you going to use Epicenter? Are you going to use
it one day out of the month
for staff meetings and for
UGM? Dickmann said.
Well that facility is used
just about every day of the
week.
Those uses could include
the sets of meeting rooms
directly off the main auditorium, neither of which were
included in the original
plans. The Ice Cave and
Precious, full of icicles
and stalactites, respectively, can each seat more than
100 people for larger group
meetings, or be split into up
to six smaller separate spaces, as Precious was just
before UGM.
Flexibility is really the
name of the game, he said,
mentioning that the spaces
can also be used as prefunction space while people wait to begin the main
meeting in the auditorium.
That flexibility also
extends to the seating in the
auditorium, as it includes
the option to expand the
auditorium by an additional 3,000 seats through
balcony seating, something
that could come in handy
for a company that seems to
grow more each year.
Dickmann said no decision has been made on
using that ability, but the
company is considering
it.
If we continue to grow,
something we may have to
(do), he said.
The cave
The inside of the building might actually be the
less impressive part, at least
compared with the cave
wall outside, featuring two
waterfalls and modeled
after an actual quartz site in
Baraboo Bluff.
The wall even features

A cave of its own

The cave theme prevalent throughout the Deep
Space building isnt all fantasy. A hallway to the
Yoda parking ramp includes photos of spelunkers
climbing through a cave on Epics own campus.
The cave was discovered while excavating for the
parking structure, chief administrative officer Steve
Dickmann said, and the company documented it
and surveyed it before sealing it up.
It was just sort of like Cave of the Mounds where
they clipped the edge, we clipped the edge of this
one, Dickmann said.
It isnt nearly as big as Cave of the Mounds, he
added, estimating it at 130 feet long and 5 or 6 feet
high.
He said it created a no-brainer when they were
looking for photographs for the hallways walls.
Well, weve got cave pictures from our own
cave, he said. Its sort of like, Duh.
some actual rock from that
same site.
The people who did
that would actually go
up there and make molds
of the Baraboo rocks so
they knew what it looked
like, Dickmann said as he
pointed to the grooves in
the wall.
And they even included a
walkway up the side of the
cave entrance with balconies and places to stop and
gaze over the neighboring
green space, something that
was done frequently by visitors at last months UGM.
Once you get to the top of
the walkway, though, its
pretty easy to forget you

were just looking at what
easily couldve been the
side of a cave.
Thats because on top of
the roof is a walking path
and prairie grass to help
with stormwater management and maintain the
atmosphere of the rest of
the campus.
Not only is it kind of
cool up here, from an environmental standpoint, (but)
if this were all hard and
loose, the stormwater management would be much,
much tougher, he said.
Plus itd be God-awful
ugly.

Verona 6-1, 6-3 in the semifinals
before Norman and Johnson fell

the third and a 1-yard run by
senior quarterback Jordan
Carlson (9-for-20, 83 yards) in
the fourth to cut into the lead.
However, a failed 2-point
conversion on the Copus
touchdown meant that the
Lancers would need another
touchdown in the final seven

Senior quarterback Noah

The Verona Area High

crossed one of its major
goals Tuesday in a 3-0
(25-5, 25-21, 26-24) win
over Madison Memorial.
The win clinched the
regular season Big Eight
Conference title, and it
also keeps the Wildcats
(22-3 overall, 9-0 conference) in the conversation
for a No. 1 seed in the
WIAA Division 1 playoffs.
Head coach Kelly Annen
said the girls set large and
small goals for this season,
and they will continue to
prepare the same. But the
communication and confidence has grown since
the season began 10 weeks
ago.
And that is only going
to lead to more success as
goals come closer to being
reached.
It is a team that has
great mental focus,
Annen said. Having the
ability to have that mental toughness and mental
focus, I think is going to
continue to shine through
with this group.

It was a battle for first
place in the Big Eight
Conference Thursday at
Sun Prairie, and the Wildcats blind sided the preseason favorite Cardinals
3-0 (25-17, 25-18, 25-13).
Annen said Verona was
able to dominate the match
by sticking with its game
plan, holding the serve and
forcing Sun Prairie to win
on the outside.
The Cardinals middle
attack is their biggest
strength, and the Wildcats
neutralized it by limiting
their servicing errors to
nine and also added nine
team aces.
Our servers had a huge
impact to be able to maintain the control, Annen
said.
When the Cardinals
tried to adjust, Annen said
that the ball control and
aggressive attack coupled
with the communication
and energy on the court
allowed Verona to dictate
the match and end any
large runs Sun Prairie did
manage.

aces, while senior outside

with a time of 2 minutes, 11.47 seconds in
the medley relay.
Senior Shelby Rozeboom (27.51) led a
sweep in the 50 free, while sophomore Kristi Larsen (1:03.25) carried the 100 free.
The seniors had a little extra to swim for
in their final home meet on Senior Night,
Wuerger said.
The all-senior 200 free relay of Carrie
Snodgrass, Sammy Seymour, Ada Avlund
and Rozeboom was seeded third based on
individual 50 free times, but stepped up to

the 200 free to finish second.
Sophomores Natalee Drapp, Lindsey
Steinl and Seidl and Seymour capped the
victory in 4:20.32.

wall of the 200 IM, while Seidl (4:40.84)
and Henshue guided Verona to a 1-2 finish
in the 400 free.
Juniors Olivia Prescott (1:25.16) and
Hannah Nybroten matched the finish in the
100 breaststroke.
Senior Sammy Seymour had an impressive 100 butterfly after swimming a long fly
set at morning practice, winning the event in
1:08.35. Nelson added the 100 backstroke in
1:03.35.
The Wildcats JV team added a 138-13
victory.

Sectionals: Wildcats win regionals, sectionals en route to second state berth

Memorials Robyn
Blanchard.
Biesmann followed up
her career-low round at
conference with an 88,
which tied Middletons
No. 4 golfer, sophomore
Morgan Narowetz.
The course played pretty hard today, Biesmann
said. There were a lot of
missed shots on both sides.
I am sure everyone can
count at least one stroke,
so we just tried our best
and came out on top.
Rebholz finished the
scoring for Verona with
an 89. Middletons other
scorer was senior Rachel
Thornton with an 86.
Madison Memorial (342)
and Waunakee (365) were
the other sectional qualifiers. Portage seniors Jayde
Curley (82) and Julia
White (93) and junior
Natalie Lindman (91)
were individual qualifiers.
Madison West junior Kate
Scholz (95) also made sectionals.
The Wildcats edged

Middleton 331-332
Wednesday, Oct. 1, in the
WIAA Division 1 Madison
West regional at Odana
Hills Golf Course.
Every stroke mattered as
the courses greens played
tough for all the teams, but
the Wildcats and the Cardinals were tied going to
the last hole. That is when
Reinecke (73) stepped up
and parred the 18th. Middleton junior Loren Skibba
(75) bogeyed the hole.
It is tough out there,
especially when the pressure is on and you are
playing against good teams
and you know you have to
do your best if you want
to come out on top, head
coach Bailey Hildebrandt
said. These girls put a lot
of pressure on themselves.
They have high goals and
expectations for themselves.
A lot of it is about grit
and pushing through and
making each shot the best
that you can.
Smith also did her part,
edging Middletons No. 2
golfer, sophomore Alexis
Thomas, 81-83. Smiths
score was good for third
overall, tied with Madison

said. We will be ready for

it.
Veronas sectional title
was overshadowed a bit
by a three-team playoff for
the other state berth.
Middleton was able to
hold off Stoughton and
Madison Memorial to
claim the other spot at
state in two playoff holes.
But that type of competition is nothing new to Rebholz and the Wildcats.
There are a lot of good
teams this year, she said.
I didnt think it would be
this close with so many
teams shooting in the 330s,
so it is crazy.
Madison Memorials
Tatum Jones and Robyn
Blanchard both qualified
as individuals. Stoughtons
Ashli Stolen also made it
to state, winning a playoff
against teammate Kailey
Taebel.
State is at 8 a.m. Monday and Tuesday at University Ridge Golf Course.
We are just going to
prepare like we would for
any other tournament,
Reinecke said. We know
we can do well if we just
focus.
Verona and Middleton
will be joined at state by
Tomah, Rice Lake, Milton,
Notre Dame, Kaukauna,
Mukwonago, Whitefish
Bay, Brookfield Central,
Milwaukee Homestead and
Hartland Arrowhead.
The Wildcats enter the
state tournament ranked
No. 1 in the Division 1
Wisconsin High School
Golf Coaches poll.

this season as now only two

off Madison Memorial (2-5)

instructions to individual
learning styles, whether
thats working in small
groups or from reading a
lesson in a book.
That includes developing plans for each student
and working closely with
parents, who know their
children best, especially at
early ages.
Around the district,
schools are trying new
strategies including nontraditional classrooms
with multiple teachers and
more students, teachers
that focus on one subject
for multiple classes and
classrooms with options
for working space besides
desks.
Just really letting them
experience with how they
learn best and teaching
them to advocate for themselves in that way, said
Glacier Edge Elementary
School principal Theresa
Taylor of the classrooms.
GE also tried Ready,
Set, Go conferences at
the beginning of the school
year for three grade levels,
and every parent attended
to help the teachers begin
the year with a plan for
each student.
Every principal mentioned both time for training in personalized learning and technology as
challenges the schools face
moving forward with personalized learning plans.
In addition, some said
there are parents who
expressed skepticism at the
beginning of the year about
the teaching strategies
that are so different from
what they had experienced
themselves in school. The
principals said most who
had come to observe a
class, though, had changed
their minds.
One parent who came in
and saw it and she compared what was being done
to conducting an orchestra, Savanna Oaks Middle
School principal Sandy
Eskrich said, saying the
parent noticed the teacher
knew what was going on
with every student in the
classroom. It was really
heartening to have this parent come back to us with
that as her takeaway.
The hope is that personalized learning will help
deal with the achievement
gap issues and improve
scores overall.

down 33 and 24 students in
seats, respectively.
The district bases its projections off of UW Population Lab estimates, which
recently switched its modeling to focus on actual
births within the district
rather than projected births
as it had in the past.
That was intended to
make the projections more
accurate. Gorrell said the
district still had to look
at the kindergarten numbers this year to see if the
new method had at least
improved that estimate.
School board president
Dennis Beres said the numbers sort of gives you
pause to be that far off
again after thinking the
estimates would be more
accurate.
Gorrell said another
factor was that the areas
around the schools seeing the largest drops often
have the most mobility,
something that can be so
unpredictable.
Were so small relative
to (Madison Metropolitan
School District), if your
mobilitys off by a few
percentage points from one
year to the next it makes
this kind of difference for
us, he said.
Board member John
McCulley, whose children attend Country View
Elementary, said the lack
of land to build a house on
in the schools attendance
area is likely a major factor.
You cant build a house
in that area, he said.
Theres nothing open to
build, so a lot of folks are
building on the south side
rates between white and

non-white students. The
district itself scored two
points lower this year than
last year in the category.
Board members said the
struggling scores in that
category fortified the need
to continue work on closing that gap, as there is
both a human cost of people who are not achieving
what they should be and it
looks bad for the districts
overall performance, as
Beres said.
Franke, who came to the
district this summer, said
she thinks VASD is on the
path to solving the issue.
Im optimistic, she
told the board. I feel like
finally we know what
needs to be done and there
is the impetus to get it
done.

Historical society
discusses Valley
View School
The VHS will continue
to examine rural schools at
its Oct. meeting set for 3
p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 15,
at the Verona Senior Center.
This months discussion will focus on
V a l l e y V i e w S c h o o l .
The school on Sugar River
Road transitioned from a
tiny original structure to an
impressive one-room brick
building with long windows.
The original brick
building was replaced
by a structure with fourclassrooms and a gymnasium. After closing, the
school was remodeled for
use as a personal residence.
The event is open to the
public, especially Valley
View former students who
may want to share their
experiences.
School history
Don Stewart, 91, gave
a presentation on Veronas school history at
last months meeting.
He said Veronas first
grade school was a log
building built in 1845 near
the present-day Carnes

Corp D near Badger Mill,
where most of the early settlement in Verona
sprang-up (near Badger
Mill).
However, the location was not deemed suitable, so the next year a
second school replaced
it on the west end of the
old County Farm property. Amy Thornton
was the first teacher.
In 1900, the two-story red
brick school along highw a y s 1 8 / 1 5 1 w a s c o nstructed, with three classrooms.
Around 15 years later, a
first floor gym was added,
and students were divided
into the three classrooms
by grade levels.
The original high
school on Marietta Street
was built in 1899 as a
t h r e e - y e a r i n s t i t u t i o n .
The hill along the highway
between the grade school
and original high school
was lowered in 1934 by the
highway department, so
the current baseball field/
playground is on relatively
flat land.
In 1934-35, seventh- and
eighth-graders took field
trips to see the original
state capitol in Belmont.
Elmer Gordon was the
principal of the grade
school from the early

1920s until after 1952, and
Stewart described him as a
very good man and a conscientious one, making
sure everyone could participate in activities.
The janitor was Jake
Maurer, who shoveled and
mowed and kept the furnaces filled. In very cold
weather, Maurer would
stay and sleep by the boiler
to keep the buildings warm
for the students the next
day.

September notes
Last month, members
discussed the historical marker for the White
School. Georgia Zink, who
initiated the application
for a plaque, is working
on the discrepancy among
researchers as to who
owned the land on which
the school was built.
Next years officers were
announced: John Volker,
president; Art Cresson,
vice president; Ruth Jensen, secretary.
The society now has
around 30 framed photos
of Verona activities, buildings and people that used
to be on the walls of Wildcat Lanes. Members are

30 years ago
The city responded to
complaints by postponing the
creation of a second tax-increment financing district, this
one downtown, at the same
time it was working on a third
District.
The Plan Commission had
voted unanimously in favor of
it despite objections from all
37 landowners in the district,
one of whom called it an open
checkbook.
That TIF district did get created, but it was never successful, and it was dissolved and a
new TIF district put in its place
years later.
The school board held a
secret, unannounced meeting
20 years ago
Verona residents Ed and
Dorothy Faber travelled to
Verona, Italy to learn more
about the Italian city with the
same name as their hometown.
They brought letters, patches and flags from Verona
Mayor Art Cresson and police
chief Ed Moffett to the Italian
mayor. In return, the Italians
gave the Fabers a plaque, flags
and other mementos.
Verona Area School
Districts Strategic Planning
Council agreed on a specific
proposal to change the VASD
mission statement after eight
three-hour meetings.
The new statement refers
specifically to academics,
whereas the previous one had
not.
Gov. Tommy Thompson
approved a $5.2 million contract to construct two interchanges on the Highway
18-151 Verona bypass to
swing around the south side
of the city with Mashuda
Contractors, Inc. of Princeton.
Many residents had preferred
the northern route, but the
Department of Transportation
chose to go south after several
meetings and public hearings
over the course of a few years.
The exterior walls were
erected for Ice Inc.s $1.2
million skating facility at
Community Park, which is now
known as the Eagles Nest.

After 46 years running the
Verona pharmacy, the Bongey
family closed it down.
The pharmacy had opened
in 1958 after Don Bongey
heard that the town could use
one. He ran it by himself for
five years, keeping meticulous
records by hand and typing up

every label on a typewriter.
He eventually partnered with
Bob Shimon, and Bongeys
children, Gary and Pam, eventually joined the business.
Years later, the pharmacy
burned down, and the siblings ran the pharmacy out of
their own home until a space
opened up at Miller and Sons
Supermarket.
Pam moved on to the new
Walgreens, where she still
works. Gary created a new
pharmacy business in part of
the Millers building.
The city parks department was saved from major
fire damage when a passerby
happened to notice something
odd at its new park shelter on
Lincoln Street.
Fireworks had set off a fire
in the shelter. The fire made
its way up from the ground to
the ceiling, where it melted PVC
pipes which lead to the shelters
bathroom. The melted pipes
spewed water, keeping the fire
from damaging too much.
A passerby saw a stream of
water coming from the shelter
and upon investigating, noticed
the fire, then called 911.
The Verona Area school
board discussed putting a referendum on the February ballot once it decides officially
on a site for the new elementary school.
As the new school year
started, Sugar Creek was
forced to use a portable classroom to house students and
had to turn the step room into
a classroom and offices into
special ed classrooms. Stoner
Prairie was forced to move
one of its fifth-grade classroom into the nearby middle
school, Savanna Oaks.
A visually impaired Verona
resident asked Mayor Volker
to post signs about the White
Cane law after she was almost
hit by two cars.
Karie Prater noted that the
White Cane law guarantees
equal access to public facilities
and transportation for those
who are visually impaired. It also
states that drivers should give
those with a service animal or
white cane should yield and give
that person the right of way.
She told the mayor cars had
driven past her while she was
walking in the crosswalk on
many occasions, and that concerned her as a Verona Area
School District employee who
worked with students who are
visually impaired.
The Common Council
held off redevelopment of
Hometown Village after a tie
vote on the proposal.

One of the biggest concerns
about the plan was a private
road looping around it. It
would have only been 27 feet
wide, which would allow for
only two lanes and no parking
on the road.
Eventually, the land was sold
to Farm and Fleet, which built a
store there in 2007.
Sugar River United Methodist
Church opened in Verona.
Verona resident Len Daniels
was part of the committee
that spent a year planning
the church. He had wanted
his three boys to grow up as
members of a local church.
Sugar River got help from
a Madison church, Asbury
United Methodist, which had
been looking at building another site in Verona.
The church has expanded
rapidly since then and has
moved twice. It now inhabits the former Wildcat Lanes
building on West Verona
Avenue.
Dependable Carstar, an
autobody shop in Verona on
Paoli St., celebrated 30 years
of operation.
Now owned by Mark
Noworatzky and Matt Deal, it
was opened by Kevin Foreyt
and Mike Willett, who had run
the shop under the name of
Dependable Auto Body until
they joined the Carstar franchise. Willett still works for the
shop as the marketing representative.
Music by Mickey, a Verona
musical arts center, was one
of 10 businesses honored in
the 22nd annual Dane County
Small Business Awards. It was
the first Verona business to
make the list.
Average property taxes in
the school district were expected to rise $122, and the perstudent cost in the $44 million
budget went up by $371.
The increase was blamed on
the high number of students
attending school.
The Verona Firefighters
Association gave its approval
for a new look for the Verona
Fire Station. The face-lift
included new numbers, the
name of the department, and
the firefighters badge on the
bay doors.
Culvers began an expansion that was to add 40 seats
to the restaurant and more
parking to the north of the Post
Office.
Verona locals Robert and
Audrey Schmidt celebrated
their 50th wedding anniversary.

The Verona Village Board

approved the creation of the
Verona Fire Protection District.
However, debates continued
over the particulars of the contract.
The Verona Fire District
Commission and officials of
the Verona Fire Department
and the Town of Springdale
had already agreed to the new
fire district agreement.
The agreement included
changing the name of the fire
department, expanding the fire
district into part of Springdale
and changing the budgeting
operations.
That district agreement
stayed in effect until 2011,
when Springdale exited. The
took over fire department
operations in 2014.
The Dane County Board
sold eight acres east of the
Village of Verona along U.S.
highway 18-151 to the Town
and Village of Verona.
The site cost $20,000 and
was split evenly between the
town and the village. The
agreement allowed five years
to develop the land for municipal use or it would have had to
been sold back to Dane County
for the same price.
It was used for the fire station and for Community Park,
the eventual site of Eagles Nest
Ice Arena.
The Village Board annexed
63 acres at the request of landowners Alex Miller and Lester
Thompson.
Verona Town Board began
discussing legal action to stop
the county from operating a
proposed landfill on the Dane
County Hospital and Home
land with County Supervisor
Jonathon Barry.
The two entities were concerned the landfill would affect
the areas water supply. The
landfill was built later that
decade and closed several
years ago.
The Verona school board
began a public bidding process
to sell the Camp Badger school
building on McKee Road.
The building went through
several owners before being
demolished two years ago to
make way for apartments.
The State Historical Society
announced the placement of
the Herbert A. Jacobs house,
441 Topfer Avenue, Madison,
on the National Register of
Historic Place. Herbert Jacobs
was brother to Ralph Jacobs
of Verona.
Designed by Frank Lloyd
Wright, it had been recognized
for its architectural significance.

and Sen. Russ Feingold (D-27)
about education and curent
legislation.
Both legislators told the
Press they assumed the meeting had been noticed.
The saga of the Rowleys
Garage salvage yard continued,
with the Town Board taking up
a controversial zoning request
that was passed by the County
Board. Rowley had purchased
the land on Riverside Drive and
gotten initial approvals before
a complaint was lodged by a
neighbor who objected to the
sight of salvaged cars on the
land.
The salvage operation continues to exist today.
As the newly formed
Capitol High School Hockey
Conference began preparing to
field teams including Verona,
the Verona Press gave credit to
co-commissioner Mary Feldt
and husband Gary, who helped
start Veronas first high school
hockey team four years earlier.
The city approved the purchase of 17 acres of county
land for what would become
Community Park. The city
faced a deadline to get $25,000
in matching federal funds.
Several residents of Cross
Country Estates protested the
potential rezoning of what
would eventually become the
Wingra gravel pit on County
PD and Nine Mound Road.
A group of residents gathered to dedicate a maple tree at
City Hall in memory of former
fire chief Ed Hendricks, who
served in the early 1940s.
