VAHS grad is youngest ever executive director of the Alliance

Press Correspondent
When Hannah West was in elementary school, her older brother donated a years worth of his
allowance to the humane society.
Since she had always wanted
to be like him, the act served as a
source of inspiration that led her to
take part in a similar cause years
later with the Alliance for Animals
and the Environment.
West, a 2008 Verona Area High
School graduate and Fitchburg
resident, became the youngest ever
executive director of the organization at the age of 24. She began her
role on Sept. 2, but she has been
a volunteer with the organization
since 2010.
The Alliance, a 30-year-old
animal and environmental advocacy organization, helps educate
the public that all animals, human
and nonhuman alike, should not

be treated as property. The Alliance believes that with the right
knowledge, people make the right
choices.
Theres a lot of misinformation
out there, West said. I just like
to provide information for other
people to do the least harm necessary in their lives.
West feels so strongly about the
welfare of animals that she started
Vegan Fest when she was a volunteer at the Alliance. She really
knows how to get the ball rolling.
I have a lot to learn, and its
really challenging, West said.
(But I) cant think of a better use
of my time than doing this ... I love
my job. What Im doing matters.
West seems enthusiastic about

A Verona Police Department squad car was damaged in a residential Verona neighborhood Friday
night as part of a chase
involving nine different
law enforcement agencies.
The officer was uninjured in the incident. VPD
chief Bernie Coughlin
declined to identify that
officer, explaining that
the officer is considered a
crime victim and the case
remains under investigation. The extent of the
damage was unknown
Tuesday afternoon,
Coughlin said, but was at
least $5,000.
The 18-year-old suspect, Austyn Wolford of
West Bend, was eventually arrested in the City of
Madison after crashing the
vehicle into a pair of cars
there, according to a news
release from the Dane
County Sheriffs Department.
Dane County first
reported a stolen blue Toyota Tundra entering the
county from neighboring
Iowa County around 8:23
p.m., Coughlin told the
Press on Tuesday.

City of Verona
OWI task force doubling up next year

City plans to host
two smaller patrols
Jim Ferolie
Verona Press editor
Verona will continue its

high-visibility drunkendriving patrols into a fourth
series, but this time, it will
get two for the price of one.
The city joined the Capital Area OWI Task Force
in 2012, the first year of the
program, and has stuck with
it while its steadily grown.
This summer, that meant
15 officers from 14 agencies patrolling Main Street
and Verona Avenue on a
single night as a deterrent
to drunken driving.
With so many officers
available to the federallyfunded program and most
of the administrative kinks
worked out, the task force
members are starting sooner
on the paperwork this year
and most will plan to have
two smaller patrols in 2015.
The city voted Monday to
sign a new intergovernmental agreement to continue
the program.
Verona police chief Bernie Coughlin called it a
no-brainer to continue to
participate.
Its such a positive
worthwhile effort, he told
the Verona Press on Tuesday.
The splitting of the
patrols generally favored
by the smaller communities with fewer busy streets
to cover is the only major
difference in how they will
operate this year. However, as the task force has

matured, it is also planning
to establish a new mode of
governance.
It has so far been run by
DeForest Lt. Dan Furseth,
whose department started its own high-visibility
patrols in 2009 and ran several of them before beginning the cooperative effort.
It found that drunken-driving efforts had decreased
year-round, including a 38
percent drop in 2012.
Chiefs of each participating agency will vote each
year on a three-person governing board to sustain the
program for the long term.
The program has so far
been entirely funded by a
$30,000 federal grant doled
out each year by the state.
Last years 11 patrols
yielded 22 OWI arrests
among 1,143 stops. The
first years six patrols
totaled one OWI arrest but
many friendly interactions
with drivers, as was the
goal. That number grew to
13 OWI arrests in 2013.
But the goal of the patrols
isnt to catch people driving drunk as much as it is
to prevent it altogether.
Coughlin said theyd prefer
to see the number of arrests
go down, rather than up,
and he said the attention in
the media helps that cause.
That first year, it got
peoples attention, he
said. Several businesses
inquired, asked me about
it.
The program itself had to
build up some momentum,
with some cities and villages taking a wait-and-see

approach and the municipalities working out legal
issues involved in making agreements that would
allow officers to make
arrests outside their normal
jurisdictions and be commanded by other departments.
But the paperwork is
moving much more quickly this year, and Monday,
Verona signed up for the
next round, which technically begins in October but
will probably start patrols
in early spring.
Verona, like other police
departments, has generally found the shifts, which
count as overtime pay,
popular among the citys
officers. But it also found,
like a few other communities, that 15 police officers
on one night on Veronas
few well-traveled roads was
oversaturated and a little
cumbersome.
So this year, while larger participating cities like
Sun Prairie and the City of
Madison (along with the
high-traffic Town of Madison) might go with a single
night, most of the suburban
communities are expected
to have two each.
Coughlin said that was
a strong consensus when
the respective chiefs got
together as a committee on
Sept. 11 in Sun Prairie to
decide how to move forward.
Six or seven squads each
is more feasible, he said.
The Verona Press
Council denies damage claims,

OKs Taco Bell, sirens, VACT loan
Jim Ferolie
Verona Press editor
The Common Council

on Monday denied three
separate insurance claims
that had been working
their way through the Public Works committee for
months.
The citys recently
raised $25,000 deductible
leaves it in the position
of reviewing many more
claims than before. All
three alders who serve on
Public Works expressed
remorse that the city could
not be more helpful but
in the end said they were
swayed by the recommendations of the citys insurer
and its staff that the council should apply its policy
uniformly.
That application is the
standard of reasonable
care, which is to say that
it inspects city facilities
frequently enough and is
responsive to complaints.
But it also meant the city
refused to pay damages
for a tree branch that fell
into a car, a sewer backup
that flooded a house on an
older street and a displaced
water cap on a street that
slashed two tires.
Ald. Evan Touchett
(D-4) made a point to
ask citizens to let the city
know of problems immediately so we can make it
right.
Upgraded sirens
Taco Bell
Dane County is planning

to build two new tornado
warning sirens, replacing older ones in different
locations with more limited range.
The council on Monday
authorized an agreement
for installation and maintenance with the county,
which had worked with the
city to find suitable locations.
The new sirens will be at
Well No. 4 on Cross Country Road and in Tollefson Park, on Gatsby Glen
Drive. They replace older
sirens that were closer to
the middle of the city, at
Community Park and Van
de Grift Park.
Those sirens had been
in the news quite a bit
this summer, with a tornado that smashed up a
couple of northern neighborhoods and a school,
several hard storms that
followed and a change in
policy that resulted from a
nine-minute delay between
the National Weather Services warning and the
sirens. Some residents had
also complained that they
did not hear the sirens.
Ald. Dale Yurs (D-2)
reminded residents that the
sirens are intended to warn
people outside to take cover, not to be heard indoors.
The council approved by

a 5-2 vote a permit for a
Taco Bell off East Verona
Avenue.
Alds. Luke Diaz (Dist. 3)
and Heather Reekie (D-4)
dissented. Diaz explained
that theres too much traffic already, and Reekie
brought up concerns about
overflow parking in that
Hometown Circle area in
front of Farm and Fleet.
The Plan Commission
had approved the site plan
the previous week after an
extensive discussion on the
odd configuration of the
drive-thru lane. Commissioners eventually agreed
there was not a significant
risk of a backup onto the
street.
VACT loan
The council authorized the application for a
$386,000 state trust fund
loan for the purchase and
retrofit of the Verona Area
Community Theater building.
VACT is in the midst
of fundraising for a new
building on the same lot
as the fire station, and the
transaction will take place
when VACT is ready to
build. The city plans to
use the 10-year-old building on Bruce Street as an
extension of its public
works facility next door.
Verona Area School District
Gorrell: Enrollment drop wont force changes

Despite a lower-thanplanned number of students

in the Verona Area School
District that lowered the
districts revenue cap, officials arent concerned about
a major effect on the budget.
Superintendent Dean
Gorrell said Monday that
because of the schedule for
school district budgets, in
which the fiscal year begins
July 1 but budgets cannot
be finalized until late October due to enrollment numbers, flexibility is always
built in.
It just puts every school
district at risk, Gorrell said
of the budget process.
The district had anticipated an additional 121 resident students, but instead
saw a loss of three on the

third Friday count, which
takes place every year on
the third Friday in September and serves as the official count for state aid. That
meant nearly $500,000 less
in revenue cap authority
from the state.
Thats a fairly large differential right there, but its
not one we cant weather,
he said.
Gorrell added that the
district is still calculating
its net open enrollment,
but initial projections look
like there are more students
open enrolling into the
district than officials had
anticipated. That could help
offset some of the loss of
resident students.
That will push some of
this, he said.
The district shouldnt
have to face any major cuts,

Letters to the editor
Walker has earned another term

I urge all readers of The Verona
Press to vote for Scott Walker on
Nov. 4.
Walker has done a great job representing all Wisconsin residents,
and he deserves another four years
in office. Although some will
say the job numbers arent where
wed like them to be, Wisconsin
is in much better shape than when
Gov. Jim Doyle was in office
(along with his sidekick, Mary
Burke).
At 5.8 percent, our unemployment rate is lower than the
national average, our taxes have
been lowered, and Wisconsin isnt
facing the massive deficits and
unfunded liabilities that so many
other states are burdened with.

Lower taxes mean weve all
been able to keep more money in
our pockets, and Walker was able
to achieve this while also eliminating the $3.6 billion deficit left
by the Doyle administration.
We should all want our state
to be on sound financial footing,
which is what Scott Walker has
achieved during his first term as
governor. Lets keep that going.
On Nov. 4, vote for fiscal
responsibility. Vote to keep moving Wisconsin forward. Vote for
Scott Walker.

Essential supplement
vs. extra supplements
I
t was just a routine phone

call with my dad. Thats
what I thought initially
when I asked how things were
going.
Thats when he got frustrated
and asked me, The red pill, the
one with the line, the one for
my heart, my vitamin C pill, my
multivitamin, my iron pill. Do I
need all these
pills!?
I asked him
why he was
taking the iron
pill when hes
not anemic, the
vitamin C pill
and the multivitamin. He
Lee
didnt remember and thought
his doctor told
him to at one point.
Are they necessary? he
asked.
My dad is not the only person whos tired of taking so
many pills, nor the only person
unsure about taking vitamins
and minerals. Some studies say
multivitamins are helpful, while
others say theyre not.
If youre like my dad, youre
probably wondering what to do.
I try to make things simple. If
you have a reason to take it you
should, otherwise stop cluttering your pillbox.
Multivitamins are meant to
supplement your diet if youre
not eating a balanced one. If
you eat fruits and vegetables
of all colors, different grains
and proteins throughout the
week and if the main parts of
your meals do not consist of
fast or processed foods, then
youre probably doing just fine.
Therefore, you dont need a
multivitamin.
If you are on a healthy diet
and take a multivitamin, it
probably wouldnt hurt you,
either, because the majority of
the extra vitamins and minerals
in the pill would either be urinated out or excreted from your
body. For people who arent
100 percent sure about their
diet, I suggest taking a multivitamin every couple days.
But what about individual
vitamins and minerals?
For example, my dads iron
pill. He started taking it a few
years ago, after he lost a lot
of blood from a surgery. Even
though his iron levels and blood
levels have been fine, he was
never told to stop taking it.
And his vitamin C pill? He
started taking it when he had a
cold, and then he forgot why he
was taking it and continued it.
But there are some vitamins
and minerals that might be useful long term.
A lot of women, as they get
older, are told to take vitamin
D and calcium. This is because
women are especially at risk for
osteoporosis, a condition where
the bones become fragile.
Bones are made of calcium,
and vitamin D helps the body
use that calcium.
After they go through menopause, women are especially at
risk because their bodies lose
calcium faster than men. The
body starts to use the calcium
from the bones, making the
bones softer, and softer bones
increases the likelihood that the
bones will fracture.
Getting extra vitamin D and
calcium slows this process
down. It probably is possible to
slow this process down without
pills, but its difficult.

A natural source of vitamin
D is in sunlight, but in Wisconsin especially, that vitamin D
sunlight is difficult to come by.
Part of the reason is because
our latitude decreases the specific sunlight thats best for
vitamin D. The other part is
that were often bundled up and
cover our skin from sunlight.
Another technique to keep
the calcium in the bones is to
perform regular low-impact
exercises.
Most people do end up taking
a vitamin D pill with or without
calcium, since sunlight vitamin
D is hard to come by and it gets
harder to exercise as we get
older.
There are a lot of different vitamins and minerals out
in stores. Depending on your
health, you may or may not
need to be taking any of them.
My dad, for example, was able
to cut down his medications
from six pills to three.
If you dont have a good
reason to be taking a specific
vitamin or mineral supplement,
then dont take it. As always
though, if you have any questions you should check with
your doctor.
We really do want to help
you cut down on all your pills,
even if it may sometimes seem
like we just keep adding pills to
your medication list.

Town of Verona
Reports collected from the

log book at the Verona Police
Department.
Sept. 1
9:54 p.m. Police responded to a call about a possible
disturbance. Upon arrival,
they found two juveniles who
had gotten in an argument
over a school project. Police
counselled the juveniles on
how they had disturbed their
neighbors.
Sept. 2
8:19 a.m. Police assisted
EMS with an 87 year old
woman who passed out in the
shower.
9:41 a.m. Police responded
to a misdialed 911 call. The
caller had been attempting to
call India and hit 911 instead
of 011.
Sept. 4
1:41 p.m. Police inspected
three pond areas from Gatsby
Glen to Old PB after a caller
complained that her dog had
to be rescued from one of the
ponds because he got tangled
in the weeds. She felt that
since he wasnt able to swim
through the water, the area
should be barricaded with
some type of warning tape.
Sept. 5
10:06 a.m. A caller notified
police that he and his wife
had been followed numerous
times throughout the summer
from Verona to New Glarus.
Police determined that the
person following them was
a Verona School District
employee attempting to verify
where they live for school
attendance purposes. Police
explained this is legal because
schools are allowed to verify
that students reside within
their district, unless they are
accepted under open enrollment from another school.
10:34 p.m. A woman who
wanted to get personal items
from her ex-boyfriends house
called the police department
after he refused to let her into
the residence. Police could not
contact the ex and suggested
the woman set up a time to collect her belongings with police
presence.
Sept. 7
1:48 a.m. Police pinged a
womans cell phone to find
her location after she sent text
messages to friends and family about ending her life. When
she was located, she admitted
to ingesting a large amount of
prescription medications and
alcohol. EMS took her to the
hospital.
5:28 p.m. Police conducted
a welfare check on a juvenile
who had received text messages and phone calls telling
him to kill himself. His friends,
concerned for his well-being,
had notified police of the situation.
Sept. 8
6:51 p.m. A woman was
issued a ticket for failing to
obey a traffic officer when,
despite a sign indicating no
right turn and the officers
motions to go straight, she
made a right turn in between
cones and came within several
feet of an 11-year-old Ironman
volunteer and her mother.

Epic software initially cited

in U.S. Ebola case
Hospital backs off
claim records system
was at fault
Scott Girard
As the Ebola virus ravages African nations and

dominates headlines worldwide, the first case in the
United States got quite a bit
of attention in recent weeks.
And at least at first
Verona-based Epic was at
the heart of the news.
Thomas Eric Duncan, a
Liberian national, had traveled to the U.S. from Africa,
and was initially released
from a Dallas hospital Sept.
25 although he had told a
nurse he had recently traveled from Africa and exhibited flu-like symptoms. He
died Oct. 8.
A news release from
Texas Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas initially said
that a flaw in the way the
physician and nursing portions of its electronic health
records system, made by
Epic, had interacted had
caused the travel history
portion to be missed.
The hospital later released
a clarification, stating that
the patients travel history was documented and
available to the full care
team in the electronic health
record, and that there was
no flaw in the electronic
health record system related to the case. Initially, the

hospital said it had fixed the
workflow issue.
We have made this
change to increase the visibility and documentation of
the travel question in order
to alert all providers, the
statement said. We feel that
this change will improve
the early identification of
patients who may be at risk

for communicable diseases,
including Ebola.
The mix-up made national
news as the patients condition worsened, and articles
from CNBC and Bloomberg
mentioned Epic and examined the growing role of
electronic health records.
Epic did not comment on
the issue.

Asking Questions and Accepting Answers

How often do you ask someone a question when you
already know the answer and just want to be reassured
that you are on the right track? Sometimes we need feedback from our boss or our teacher that we are completing
a task or doing our work correctly. Getting feedback is
prudent if we think we might be going down the wrong
path, but having to be constantly reassured is tiresome
and frustrating to those who are being asked the same
question over and over again. When we really dont know
the answer to important questions we should be quick to
ask, but also willing to accept that we might not like the
answer we get. If we are genuinely interested in knowing
how we look, or how we are doing at work or at school,
we should accept the bitter truth that we might not look so
great, or that were performing below par in certain areas
of our lives. Knowledge can be a bitter pill, but if we want
to improve, and all of us should certainly want this, we
should ask questions of those who will tell us the truth.
We can always ask ourselves these hard questions, but
we should realize that we are usually our easiest critics. Its
easy to see the speck in someone elses eye while missing
the log in our own.

Faithful are the wounds of a friend, but the kisses of an
enemy are deceitful.

INVESTMENTS
Q. What is the 2014 tax rate on Capital Gains?
Greg Andrews, CPA
Q. We just moved into an existing home, when should we clean
A. For short term gains held a year or less, the answer is simple the rates on ordinary income apply.
Its much more complicated for gains on long term property held more than a year. Theres no
Federal tax at all (0%) if these gains land in the lower tax brackets. The 0% rate ends when taxable
income exceeds $73,800 on joint returns and $36,900 for single taxpayers.
The rate on long term gains jumps from 0% to 15% for incomes above this and below $457,600
married ($406,750 single). Long term capital gains above the $457,600/$406,750 thresholds, are
taxed at 20%.
The Net Investment Income Tax (NIIT) adds two more rates. Investment income above $250,000
(married) and $200,000 (single) is subject to the 3.8% NIIT, so the 15% and 20% rates become 18.8%
and 23.8% to the extent that the NIIT applies.
A complete answer would explain how the Alternative Minimum Tax and Wisconsin capital gains tax
could add to these rates. But thats another column.

Q. Is The Open Enrollment Period A Great Time to Review Your Retirement Plan?
A. If you work for a medium-to-large company, you may now be entering open enrollment that
time of year when you can make changes to your employee benefits package. And one of your most
important benefits is your 401(k) or similar employer-sponsored retirement account. So consider taking
these steps to get the most out of your plan: First, boost your contributions, if you can afford to do so.
At a minimum, contribute enough to earn your employers match, if one is offered. Next, review your
investment allocation to ensure that its still appropriate for your risk tolerance and long-term goals.
Brendon Diers, AAMS Also, try to spread your dollars around a variety of investments. If you have too large a percentage of
Financial Advisor
your account in a single type of asset, your portfolio could take a big hit in a downturn that primarily
affects that asset. Finally, review your beneficiary designations to account for any changes in your
family situation over the past year. Take full advantage of your retirement plan because it can make a big difference in your life.

How can I make my existing window coverings safer for children?

A. About one child each month dies as a result of corded window coverings, according
to U.S. regulators. Children can get caught in the cords which hold blinds together or the
cords which raise and lower. New tougher guidelines were implemented last year on all
manufacturers of corded blinds and shades. Make sure all roman shades you purchase
include completely hidden cords or shrouding products to eliminate the threat of forming
a deadly loop around a childs neck. Ensure all tie-downs & tension devices are secured to
the wall or molding. Eliminate all other loops and install cord stops to shorten excess length,
and secure unused cord high up out of a childs reach. Free retro-fit kits and instructions are
available from the Window Covering Safety Council (www.windowcoverings.org), and I
urge parents to use only cordless products in young childrens bedrooms.

A. Many of these prescription pain medications have Acetaminophen (Tylenol) in them. Make sure your elder does
Q. Why do I get cold sores and can I do anything about them?

A. Cold sores are painful blister-like sores that usually form on the outer lip or corner
of the mouth. They are caused by the HSV-1 virus which typically remains dormant
within the nerve until an outbreak occurs. Cold sores are actually not related to colds or
fevers but can be triggered by any illness, fatigue, stress, sun or wind exposure. Cold
sores are contagious and can be spread to other people and other parts of your body
once the blisters appear.
Some people get warning that a cold sore is developing by feeling a tingle or
Dr. James Sands, DDS itchiness at the spot on the lip where the sore will erupt. It is during this moment,
before any sore is visible, that immediate preventive medications can be effective. The
over-the-counter medicated cream, Abreva, can reduce the healing time slightly by
helping to dry the sore. Prescription creams are also available that may reduce healing
time, but with mixed results. Once the blisters appear, follow a few simple rules. Do
not burst the blisters. Do not apply Vaseline, Carmex or lip balm. Always wash your
hands following any contact with the sores. Once the blisters appear, healing usually
takes between 7-10 days.

not take Extra Strength Tylenol (Acetaminophen) with this medication. Unknowingly, acetaminophen overdose is
actually the leading cause for calls to Poison Control Centers across the US-more than 100,000 instances per yearand, each year, is responsible for:
More than 56,000 emergency room visits
2,600 hospitalizations
An estimated 458 deaths due to acute liver failure
According to data from the Acute Liver Failure Study Group registry, acetaminophen
poisoning is responsible for nearly HALF of ALL acute liver failure cases in the U.S.!
When used in proper dosage, acetaminophen is an effective and safe medication. Be sure to ask your doctor about
ALL your medications before deciding to take any other types of pain medicines, including Acetaminophen.
However, there are instances where its use can become dangerous, especially if used excessively or in amounts
higher than the recommended dosage. The more your elder is informed about medications, the better their chances
are of maintaining good health and safety.

HEATING/COOLING

Q. My furnace is not working. Is there anything I should do before calling for
service?
A. First be sure that the thermostat is in the heat position and the temperature is set above
the indoor temperature. Next, check for power at the furnace by turning the fan switch (on the
thermostat) to the on position. If the furnace blower does not turn on, check the circuit breaker
for the furnace and the switch at the furnace, to ensure they are on. Also check the air filter to
ensure it is clean. If you have LP gas or oil heat, ensure that you have sufficient fuel. Some LP
gas furnaces have pressure switches that will not allow the furnace to run if the tank is low on
fuel. Even though the water heater sitting right next to the furnace lights and runs, the pressure
may be too low to allow the furnace to light. If you have a high efficiency gas furnace with pvc
vent pipes, be sure that the piping is clear of obstructions such as snow, birds or rodent nests.
Also look to see if there are any flashing diagnostic lights on your furnace. For all your heating
and air conditioning questions, contact Dave at OK Heating and Air Conditioning.

Q. How can I use my auto policy to protect my family?

A. I have interviewed hundreds of people injured in auto accidents and too many family
members who lost loved ones in fatality accidents caused by someones careless driving. Sadly,
it is often only after an accident that people realize the other drivers insurance is inadequate
and the familys own auto policy is also inadequate. Wisconsin Legislators substantially
lowered minimum auto coverage. Drivers with bad records now carry only $25,000 (25/50/10).
For a serious accident $25,000 is a fraction of coverage needed for medical bills, lost wages,
pain and disability, etc. For a very small price your own auto policy can protect your family.
Attorney
Ask your agent to add Uninsured Motorists (UM) and Underinsured Motorists (UIM) coverage.
These are the least expensive coverages you can add to an auto policy. For example you can add
John Walsh
$100,000/$300,000 UM coverage for about $10. Another $10 buys UIM of $100,000/$300,000.
These are the minimums I recommend. UM and UIM protect those traveling in your auto your
children, spouse, grandparents from drivers with no or inadequate insurance. Consult your agent.
Q. How do I get on this page?

It is really exciting.
It was a team effort all season, which included Big Eight,
regional and sectional championships, as each girl was able to
contribute with low scores when
needed.
This time, it was juniors Bailey Smith and Emily Opsal, who
tied for sixth and 17th, respectively.
Smith shot a 157 (76-81),
Verona dominated the

second half with three unanswered touchdowns against
the Cardinals, including a
53-yard pass from senior captain quarterback Noah Roberts to senior split end Christian Baltes early in the third
quarter to give the Wildcats a
24-20 lead.
Senior running back Eric
Schmid and Roberts clinched
the win in the fourth with
1-yard touchdown runs.
Verona also took a lead
in the second quarter after a
32-yard field goal by junior
Robbie Freitag, but the Cardinals came back with a touchdown before halftime. JP
Curran found Maastricht for
a 27-yard touchdown, but the
extra point was missed.
Noah Diaz scored on a

A year removed from sitting at

home wondering whether or not
they would reach the WIAA Division 1 individual state tennis tournament, senior Steph Keryluk and
junior Greta Schmitz took control of
their fate Thursday.
Keryluk and Schmitz (21-5)
cruised to a 6-1, 6-1 victory over
Onalaska senior Lucee Laursen and
sophomore Veronica Johnson (104) at the Waunakee sectional, which
automatically qualified them to
reach this seasons state tournament
at No. 1 doubles.
Though each team held serve
through the first two games, Verona
rattled off the next five to take the

first set. They were equally dominant in the second set as well.
We definitely had a few nerves,
but I think we shook those off after
a few games, Keryluk said. We
know how to handle each other
on and off the court, so everything kind of clicked right away.
Schmitz and Keryluk ended up
finishing third at sectionals following a quarterfinal loss against Middleton junior Abbey Webber and
senior Allison Ragsdale (28-1).
Schmitz played No. 2 singles last
year, while Keryluk played No. 1
doubles with Marissa Wilson. Both
earned special qualifiers to last
years state meet.
Diagnosed with patellofemoral
syndrome in her left knee, caused

by a wearing down of the cartilage under the kneecap, Schmitz
was unable to run enough to play
singles this season.
Coach Happel really wanted
me to play doubles this year and
Steph and I had always wanted
to play together, so we thought
it was a good opportunity,
Schmitz said.
Keryluk and Schmitz are seeded
14th entering this weekends 44th
state tournament inside Nielsen
Tennis Stadium. They open play
against senior Gillian Suhre and
junior Joanne Walczynski (23-2) at
2 p.m. Thursday.
The winner advances on to play 9
a.m. Friday morning.

until tonight, Smith said.
We couldnt have done
it without each other. We
all just support each other,
and it is really nice that if
one of us has a bad day, we
are there for each other and
pick each other up.
The championship also

built up a lot of confidence
and was really feeling good
about my swing, Opsal
said. I knew that, today,
I just needed to put something doable out there.

had good rounds.

while Biesmann who
didnt have her score count
for the team was tied for
32nd overall with a 178
(86-92).
There were 78 golfers in
the Division 1 tournament.
They were so mentally
tough and fought for every
stroke, but they just stayed
focused and stayed tough
and put it all out there for
the team, head coach
Bailey Hildebrandt said.
They are a team that I
knew could do it, and I am

on varsity has had a cold or been sick,
Marks said.
TJ Manning missed three meets while
ill and is just getting back into racing
shape again. Alex after an exciting hard
working summer has been plagued by

asthma and hasnt been able to race to his
ability this season.
For a runner who should have been in
our top three, running JV after being fifth
runner as a sophomore that has really
put a dent in our top five that we havent
been able to repair so far, Marks said.
Marks said while the Wildcats ran
in Beloit back in the 70s he doesnt
remember much about the course.
Verona heads to the conference meet
at 9:30 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 18 at Leeson
Park in Beloit.
Since an incredible seven of the Ten
Big 8 teams are or have been ranked in
the top 20 in the state this year, I would
say our absolute great day might give us
third, Marks said. A poor day would
give us seventh.

Budget: Impact fees bring in hundreds of thousands

There are a lot of variables in this years budget, city administrator
Bill Burns explained in an
email Monday night.
Only one meeting
has been scheduled for
Finance, but these out-ofthis-world numbers seem
unlikely to be settled in
one setting.
Theres plenty of time
-- the city has until Nov. 3
to prepare a public hearing
notice and its budget legal
advertisement -- but also
plenty to consider, particularly since staff werent
even sure just a few days
before next Mondays
meeting about what sort
of scenarios they would
prepare or even how much
money would be available.
Theres much more
information ready about
how much the various
departments are requesting
in staff increases and other
expenses, as each made
detailed presentations and
pitches over the past three
weeks.
But trying to plan ahead
for consistent debt service payments would
mean planning for Epics
growth, which even Epic
hasnt been able to do.
Spreading the relief

Over Mayor Jon Hochkammers eight years on
the council and prior to
that as an alder on the
Finance committee, hes
been an ardent supporter of
keeping tax increases predictable, even if that means
holding on to extra money.
Whatever the city needs
to spend, hes reasoned, it
should be consistent and
budgetable so that homeowners arent ever shocked
when they get their bills in
December.
That concept became a
point of contention nearly
a decade ago, when the
city realized it had more
money saved up than it
needed to hold and began
a slow drawdown of funds
from that excess. That
drawdown has been as
high as $400,000 a year
and is expected to continue
until the 2017 budget year,
when the tax-increment
financing district that covers Epics first two campuses likely closes and
replaces that annual source
of funding.

of addition of stormwater
utility fee
It started in the 2006

budget year, when alders
voted 7-1 (with Hochkammer against) to go beyond
the Finance recommendation and accelerate the
drawdown for increased
tax relief. But the following year, with Hochkammer fresh off his first mayoral election victory, they
voted 7-1 on his recommendation against a similar request.
So its a safe bet staff
will prepare at least one
scenario designed to apply
an amount of funding from
impact fees that the city
can sustain for several
years. Its just hard to tell
what that amount could be.
Last year, the city
applied $250,000 in police
department impact fees,
$50,000 in fire department
impact fees and $10,000 in
library impact fees.
But much more is available, owed to the construction of Epics Campus 4.
While the police fees are
roughly similar between
commercial and residential
construction and library
fees come exclusively from
new homes, fire station fees
are heavily skewed toward
commercial construction,
at $2.10 per $1,000 of
assessed valuation.
The 2014 numbers arent
final yet, obviously, but if
all of 2013s growth were
included, for example,
that would bring in about
$600,000 for the fire station alone.
The fire impact fee has
the greatest potential to
increase as our debt service

costs for the fire station are

going up in 2015 and our
impact fee collections have
been strong, Burns wrote
Monday. I dont want to
speculate at this point on
what that number will be.
We will be presenting recommendations for applied
impact fees as part of the
debt service budget (Oct.
20).
While there will probably be a similar spike
over the next year or two
with Campus 5, it could
be a few years after that -or never -- before theres
another inflow of that size.
What to spend
Related, yet separate, is
the decision of how much
of the needs and wants of
city departments it should
grant this year and how
much to pass off to ensuing
years or pass on entirely.
Unlike last year, the
city is more than capable
of funding every single
department request, but
whether that happens will
be a matter of prudence.
On Sept. 29 and Oct. 6,
Finance heard pitches from
each department head,
seeking additional funding
for a total of seven fulltime equivalents for six
departments.
The biggest request was
2.0 FTE from the library,
which requested far more
last year and ended up
with 0.5 after some bitter debates. Director Brian
Simons told the committee his top priority was
increasing the youth services position from part-time
to full-time to deal with 20
percent circulation growth
(and 35 percent program
attendance growth) since
the last librarian addition,
and he also asked for an
administrative assistant to
take pressure off his own
schedule and that of other
management-level librarians, as well as a half-time
librarian to fill in at the
often busy reference desks.

The fire department is
also asking for 1.0 FTE
and then some, as it looks
to staff the new station
with interns and paid-onpremises personnel and
add another full-time lieutenant as the department
continues to work toward
(or reaches) 24/7 staffing.
However, all of those
would be midyear additions, which cuts the 2015
budget impact in half. And
though chief Joe Giver put
four interns in his request
(two first-year and two
second-year), theres some
doubt whether it would be
possible to find secondyear interns, which would
delay the full 24/7 staffing.
The most intriguing
request was the addition of
a junior planner to allow
planning director Adam
Sayre to focus on economic development, significantly expanding the scope
of his job duties. Some
other area suburbs have
economic development
directors, though generally
only larger cities, such as
Fitchburg and Sun Prairie,
have dedicated positions.
And naturally, building inspection is looking
for more help, what with
all the construction going
expected to come up in the
immediate future and the
citys 2-year-old power of
conducting its own commercial plan review. The
department is asking for 1.0
FTE, which would partially
be offset by a reduction in
contractor hours that have
been used more and more
recently and an increase in
forecast permitting fees.
Fitch-Rona EMS is preparing a plan to take on
a third ambulance crew
when Fitchburg absorbs
part of the Town of Madison and builds two new
fire stations to accommodate that geographic
problem. But more immediately, its dealing with a
middle management shortage, chief Brian Myrland
explained, and is asking
for a new captain.
If that request is granted at the annual meeting
this week, the citys share
will be close to half, plus
an overall increase as its
equalized value rises compared to the Town of Veronas and the City of Fitchburgs.
The police departments
request of another patrol
office is a continuation
of last years plan, when
alders decided to fund one
of the two new positions
chief Bernie Coughlin had
asked for.

West: Animal lover started early with influence from brothers activism
to her job while keeping in
mind that its easy to burn
out.
The older people (in
the group) told me that my
strength in being young is that
I have so much enthusiasm to
bring and so much energy,
she said with a smile.
Starting young
West had an affinity for
animals at a young age.
Then, in middle school,
she studied modern-day slavery and began making some
connections with vegetarianism, coming to the conclusion that animals and people
seem to be oppressed by the
same sort of dynamics.
The cows cant speak and
the chickens cant speak and
the pigs cant speak and fight
for themselves, she said. I
couldnt live any other way
than to start living a life of
least harm.
West has been a vegan
since ninth grade. In high
school, she had three friends
who were vegan, and as a
group, they would debate
with their science teacher

about veganism.
Our teacher would be
like, But bacon, and wed
be like, Facts, facts, facts,
she said.
As a volunteer for the Alliance, West started the Mad
City Vegan Fest. After seeing a similar festival in Portland, she felt as though Madison should also have one.
When first organizing
the Vegan Fest, West said,
it was a lot of email(ing)
people and calling people.
Then, after getting help from
different people, I figured
out what I was doing
The more the volunteers got
involved, the less I did.
She founded the Mad City
Vegan Fest in 2011. The festival, which is held in June,
now attracts over 2,000
attendees and multiple sponsors, exhibitors and raffle
donors.

took up a love of music, too,
earning a music education
degree from the University

A lot of things in my life
I can trace back to wanting
to be like my brother, West
said.
But because of her passion
for animals, which she calls
the gentlest creatures and
least destructive to the world,
she decided to seize the
opportunity with the Alliance
to advocate on their behalf.
Because the Alliance is an
educational organization, it
allows West to leverage her
education degree for the benefit of the organization.

have to sort of have a hand in
controlling the energy in the

room, in what direction its
going.
West finds many similarities between teaching music
and working for the Alliance.
With music, you can
teach racial diversity and
youth empowerment if you
teach (about) hip hop, she
said, because young people
of color were the ones who
started hip hop, which is now
this worldwide phenomenon.
Thats so empowering for
kids to learn.
West was surprised to find
the Alliance job available
this summer while she was
applying for teaching jobs.
She had planned on teaching
for a while and then eventually working full time at the
Alliance.
Its not that it was never
on my radar, she said. Its

would happen some time in at the East Side Club.

Exploring empathy
The Empathy Explorers visited Core Knowledge
Elementary School Thursday, Oct. 9, to offer students lessons on bullying and empathy. The program, from Elevation Education, uses a character
named Action Hero and his role in a movie to
explore the issues of bullying and how to handle
certain situations. The program also has students
respond anonymously to questions about bullying
at their school to provide data to administrators on
students thoughts on bullying.
At left, Action Hero explains his background to the
students and sets up the coming story about his role
in a movie.
At right, a student puts in her response to one of the
questions during the program. Students were asked
to first identify terms associated with bullying and
later about bullying at their school specifically.
Photos by Scott Girard
Above, one of the actors gives students their signal to say Be a good friend in response to how to
handle a situation.
Above, the program explored four main topics within bullying and empathy.
