Eagles Nest Ice Arena celebrates 20 years
KATHRYN CHEW
Press Correspondent
Five years ago the nonprofit Eagles Nest Ice Arena was in the red. Repairs
were needed. Facilities
were breaking. Day-to-day
operations were struggling
to keep up.
In order to address these
concerns, the Eagles Nest
turned to the Verona community for help and the
Verona Fest, then called
Nest Fest, was born.
In its first year, the fundraiser brought in more than
$28,000, organizers previously told the Verona Press,
enough success and fun that
the Eagles Nest decided to
do it every year.
And thats exactly what
has happened.
This year the 5th annual
Verona Fest will be held at
the Eagles Nest Ice Arena
Aug. 1-2. Hosted by Ice
Inc., a volunteer group that
manages the ice arenas
operations, Verona Fest
will be full of activities for
people of all ages including
a 3 v. 3 hockey tournament,
open skate, food, beer tent,
bounce house, dunk tank,
silent auction and live
music.
Organizers hope the festival continues to raise the
money it has in the past to
help fund building repairs
and other needs.
Despite those needs and
a recent decline in youth
hockey numbers, the past
year has been comparatively good, Eagles Nest executive director Joel Marshall
said, with Learn to Skate
and girls ice hockey numbers increasing. Its a trend

School was missing walls, windows and had
glass and debris strewn throughout its hallways.
In that single month, the areas of the school
damaged by the June 17 tornado have been
radically transformed. While theres still much
left to finish, Verona Area School District
superintendent Dean Gorrell said the progress
is awesome.

On the first day of summer school, 27 students in the enrichment Caring For Our Community class showed up to a room with two
teachers but no agenda. Instead, teachers Jennifer Krantz and Jessica Reed began class with
two simple questions:
Who in our community needs help? and
Who in our community do we want to thank?
The next four weeks were filled with community outreach activities based on the
answers to those questions, thought up entirely
by the kids themselves.
Often times school is confined to the boundaries of the classroom. However, students
in the Caring For Our Community class, run
through the Verona Area School District, took

Cathedral Point neighborhood
residents got a new treat July
16 with the neighborhood parks
opening.
Originally planned to have a
community-build event, as has
been done in the Meister and
Scenic Ridge neighborhoods,
in May, rain ended up delaying
construction all the way until
July. City crews ended up installing the equipment themselves to
ensure the park got built.
I sort of saw the writing on the
wall (after the second rainout),
said City of Verona Parks and
Urban Forestry director Dave
Walker. It took us a month to
put that in and it usually takes
about a week.
The community build saves
money for the city, rather than
having the playground company
install it, Walker said, which
allows the city to purchase a bit
better equipment.
Its nice in new subdivisions
because a lot of these neighbors
havent had a chance to meet
each other, Walker said. It
helps us out a lot too.

The Verona Senior Center hosted the Verona Area Active Adults (VAAA) annual Pie Social and Silent
Auction on Monday evening. Proceeds from the event benefit the VAAAs programs and projects. All
of the auction items sold, including a handmade afghan, captains chair, hotel stay and donations
from many local businesses. More than 200 people attended as country music was performed in the
afternoon by The Paoli Street Pickers and a meal served in the evening. The only kind of pie that was
requested and not available was peach. While final figures were not available as of press time, the
event was considered very successful.

Legal battle brewing over CARPC budget request New Verona Senior Center
SCOTT DE LARUELLE
County officials have called

out the Capital Area Regional
Planning Commission (CARPC) and initiated legal action
after the commission recently
voted for a significant increase
in its 2015 budget that county
officials say is against the law.
CARPC, which serves as
the regional planning and
water quality management
planning entity for the county,
voted 8-3 for just over $1.3
million in funding for 2015
at its July 10 meeting, a significant increase of around
$600,000 from this years
budget. CARPC is governed
by a policy board with 13
appointed commissioners.
In response, the Dane
County Board, responsible for
funding the commission, last
week unanimously approved a
resolution deeming the budget
request unreasonable, laying out the grounds for a legal
challenge to what amounts to
a 76 percent increase.
County Board Chair Sharon
Corrigan said the board is in
no position to add another
$600,000 in taxes.
State levy limits would
force us to make cuts in other
departments, in a year when
were already looking at
cuts, Corrigan said.
The resolution states that
the increase is unreasonable
because the budget change is
greater than whats authorized
by the county panel responsible for determining CARPCs budget, which is both
a violation of its own bylaws
and that of the charter resolution. It further states that the
commissions annual budget
increases are subject to any
levy limitations which apply
to Dane County and limits its
budget charge to a maximum
of .0017 percent of Dane
Countys equalized value.

CARPCs blatant disregard of the expectations of
the communities who worked
to establish it undermines the
goals that CARPC purports to
serve, the resolution reads,
noting that the board has
directed its corporation counsel to initiate legal action to
challenge the commissions
budget certification.
Strong words
County Executive Joe Parisi called the CARPCs action
illegal and insulting. In a
letter to county board members, he said the county will
hold the organization accountable.
At a time when county
workers can voluntarily agree
to pay reductions and our
managers are building budgets based on current revenues, CARPCs actions are
inexcusable and ignore the
reality facing every other unit
of local government, the letter read.
In a letter to CARPC members, Parisi expressed astonishment and dismay over the
vote to increase the countys
levy charge for the commission, and asked the group to
hold an emergency session to
rescind its actions.
This action was not only
illegal, it was irresponsible
and, quite frankly, insulting to every elected official
in Dane County government
who works tirelessly every
year to find budget solutions
that allow us to provide critical services to residents of our
community, he said. Perhaps the commissioners who
voted for this 80 percent levy
increase could also suggest
which departments we should
now de-fund to pay for your
suggested increase in CARPCs budget: Child Protective Services, 911, Highway?
nurse advocates self-care
What is CARPC?
The Capital Area Regional Planning Commission,
which covers cities and villages with incorporated
areas in Dane County, is governed by a policy
board with 13 commissioners four appointed
by the Madison mayor, three by the Dane County
executive, three by the Dane County Cities and
Villages Association and three by the Dane
County Towns Association. Created in 2007, it
serves as the regional planning and water quality
management planning entity for the county,
tasked with preparing and adopting a master plan
for development and maintaining water quality
management planning process to manage, protect,
and enhance the water resources of the region,
including consideration of the relationship of water
quality to land and water resources and uses,
according to its website.
Should we de-fund the newly

established non-mandated
school mental health crisis
teams the county is funding
in Verona, Sun Prairie and
Madison?
Going too far?

Forbes McIntosh, spokesperson for the Dane County
Cities and Villages Association, said while the group was
scheduled to meet Wednesday to talk about the situation
and come up with a response,
he said Parisi and the county
board are overstating the case,
noting that a majority of county representatives on CARPC
voted for the increase.
(They) like to say, a 76
percent increase, and the
number sounds huge, but
100 percent of a dollar is just
another dollar, McIntosh
said.
McIntosh said part of
the increase is for hiring an
executive director, which the
organization has gone without since its inception in 2007.
He said the fact that CARPC
still doesnt have an executive

director after seven years is
obvious evidence the county has not adequately funded
the organization.
CARPC staff arent being
paid the same rate as Dane
County employees of the
same education or qualification, experience or position,
McIntosh said. We need to
have responsible and timely
regional planning. Water
quality is a priority in this area
and we need to start treating it
as a priority.
While he said possible legal
action by the county is not
surprising, he said he didnt
like some of the terms being
used.
I dont like throwing
around words like illegal,
he said. It is reasonable or
unreasonable thats the statute test they can challenge,
then its up to an arbitration
panel.
I dont think theres anything theyve done that technically is illegal, but well find
out from a judge.

Board OKs 10-cent lunch price increase

Verona Area School District students will pay 10

cents more for lunch this
year than in 2013-14.
Even with the price raise,
VASD still is well below
average compared to area
districts like Madison, Mt.
Horeb and Oregon, according to data provided by the
district. Lunches will cost
$2.15 at elementary schools,
$2.20 at middle schools and
$2.30 at the high school.
Breakfast prices will not
change.
This marks the secondconsecutive year prices will
rise by 10 cents. Food services director Cindra Magli
told the school board last
week the 2013-14 prices
were lower than the USDA
would like them for the
upcoming year, prompting
the increase.
Among a set of 27 districts
VASD surveyed, Verona
was lowest or second lowest in lunch costs at all levels. Oregon School District
students pay between $2.40
and $2.80, Madison students
pay from $2.60 to $3, and
Mt. Horeb students pay from
$2.25 to $2.45.
Magli said that contrary to
expectations, last years price
raise did not lead to a lower

participation rate in students
purchasing school lunches.
Usually when you
increase it 10 cents, you see
a drop in participation,
she said. Pretty much it was
the same as two years ago.

Verona citizens will have

increase at the districts

Verona Press correspondent
Barbara Rasmussen
sat contently behind her
desk at the Verona Senior
Center, which was subtly
adorned with a little flower
in a ladybug pot.
It was small flower, but,
Its those little things in
life that make all the difference, Rasmussen said.
Everyone should take
care of themselves, even if
it is something as small as
buying yourself a flower,
she added.
This is the message Rasmussen lives by and tries to
pass along to others.
Rasmussen is the new
nurse at the senior center,
beginning in the position
at the end of May. While
recently welcomed to its
staff, she is not new to the
nursing world.
Rasmussen has spent
more than 37 years in a
wide variety of nursing
positions, with 18 of those
years spent as a rehab nurse
in the Black Hills. She
even owned her own business, The Independent Living Network, which was
devoted to helping senior
citizens stay out of nursing
homes for as long as they
could.
In 2010, she retired from
her position as nurse coordinator in UWs pediatric
pulmonary specialty clinic.
However, retirement has
not left her any less busy.
Instead, its given her time
to pursue personal interests
such as reading, sewing,
gardening, volunteering at
St. James Lutheran Church
in Verona and making gifts
for her grandchildren. Its
also given her time to put
her nursing experience to
use in more relaxed environments that allow her
to better get to know her
patients.
Thats exactly why Rasmussen jumped at the
opportunity to join the
Verona Senior Center staff.
Now, Rasmussen visits
the center every Wednesday to take her patients
blood pressure, blood
sugar and weight. She follows changes in their vitals
signs, looks for any significant deviations from the
norm and advises patients
to see their
doctor when
needed.
Rasmus sen also
coordinates
a monthly
diabetes
support
Rasmussen
group at
the senior
center where she arranges
speakers and holds informal discussions. These
groups are open to anyone who has diabetes or is
interested in learning more
about diabetes.
But perhaps one of the
most important aspects
of her job is encouraging
people to pursue a healthy
lifestyle.
I try to figure out what
they want to do and how
to be healthy, Rasmussen said. I try to bring up
activity ideas and let people know what would be so
good for them.
Essentially she hopes to
be a trusted resource for
community members to
turn to with questions about
health and well-being.
The one-to-one time with
patients at the senior center
helps her do this by allowing her to devote more
attention to each individual.
The more time you have
with someone, she said,
the more comfortable they
will be to ask you questions.

editor, provided they comply with
our guidelines.
Political endorsements and other election letters must be submitted about two weeks before the
relevant election.
For the upcoming fall election,
primary election letters need to
be submitted by July 28 and will
be printed July 31. General election letters need to be submitted
by Oct. 20 and will be printed Oct.
23.
Letters will be printed as space
allows.
Other special rules apply during
election season.
Letters should be no longer
than 400 words. They should
also contain contact information
the writers full name, address,
and phone number so that the
paper may confirm authorship.
Unsigned or anonymous letters
will not be printed under any circumstances.
The editorial staff of Unified
Newspaper Group reserves the
right to edit letters for length, clarity and appropriateness. Letters
with libelous or obscene content
will not be printed.

be printed under limited circumstances, provided they do not contain material that should instead
be placed as an advertisement and
reflect public, rather than promotional interests.

how bills are being paid or where
accounts are held. The last thing

a family should be stressing
about is whether health insurance
premiums are paid when their
loved one is ill.
There are some key steps that
can be taken - and discussed - to
prepare for the time when others
will need to be involved. I recommend that just about everyone
take some or all of these steps,
both for yourself and with family
members that you will be responsible for (parents, grandparents,
aunts, uncles, etc.).
First, sit down and organize
yourself and put together a summary of what you have and
where it can be located. There are
a number of booklets available to
help you sort and list this information (I have a couple of good
ones and AARP also offers them)
but it can also be as simple as a
summary in a notebook. It should
include at least the following:
emergency contact numbers
for medical providers, family
members and legal, tax and/or
financial advisors
a summary of income sources
including amounts, when and
how received, account number (if
applicable) and contact information
a summary of insurance policies including health, life and/
or long term care with company
name, policy number(s) and contact information
a list of any investment and
bank accounts including account
numbers and contact information
safe or safe deposit box
inventory, location and access
information
a summary of any real estate
or vehicles owned along with the
deed and/or title location
copies of any legal documents including wills, powers of
attorney, etc.
Another important step to
consider is automating as much
as possible financially. Social
security payments are now
almost always direct deposited
but Id strongly suggest doing the
same with other sources of regular income including pensions,
dividends and investment distributions. At the same time

consider setting up at least the
most important of your regular
expenses on automatic bill pay
things like insurance premiums,
loan payments and utilities bills
can be easily set up and shouldnt
be left to chance.
It is also important to understand how others would be able
to assist you and to provide them
with the legal means to do so.

in depth on what I call a living
estate plan which is something
that everyone should have. Basically it involves understanding
how things would be treated if
you are incapacitated and what
will happen to your assets when
you die.
Often there is a lot that can be
accomplished with titling and/ or
company specific forms that you
can place on file but there are
also general legal documents that
should be considered. At a minimum most people should have a
living will (including health care
directives and appointment of
a medical power of attorney), a
durable financial power of attorney and a will.
The most important aspect of
all of this planning though is to
discuss it. Talk with your family about what is in place, where
information and documents are
located and what expectations
and desires are. While this discussion may take you outside
your comfort zone it may well be
one of the most important conversations you ever have.

Town of Verona
Board expected to pass

county rezoning Thursday
School supplies,

SCOTT GIRARD
The Town of Verona

board will re-visit the county blanket rezoning at its
Thursday meeting.
The rezoning has been a
months-long process that
included letters sent to
affected property owners,
public informational meetings and an agenda item at
the June Town board meeting that was tabled.
Town administrator
Amanda Arnold said she
expects the board to take
action Thursday, though,
after taking comments last
month and working with a
handful of property owners who still had concerns.
The rezoning process
began in recent years as

Farmers Market heats up

Hot temperatures didnt keep people from the Farmers Market on Tuesday. With half a dozen vendors participating, Verona residents came out to Hometown Junction Park to enjoy the bountiful
harvests.

a response to a change in
state law and relates mostly to tax benefits from the
state.
Fitchrona Road
The board also held a
special meeting July 17
to look at two upcoming
issues with Fitchrona Road.
The board looked at proposals to lower a piece of
the road near the Quarry Ridge development
between Goose Lake and
Quarry Vista drives, as well
as the roads overall condition in relation to a potential road haul permit for a
proposed quarry on Grandview Road.
Arnold said the items
would likely be on the next
regular plan commission
agenda in August.
Corrections
Below, Kevin Oppermann, one of the vendors at the Farmers Market, talks to customers about his
product.
An information graphic in last weeks Verona Press

made an incorrect reference to the beneficiary of a charity
event planned by Culvers of Verona next week. Culvers
will be donating a portion of its proceeds July 28 to the
American Red Cross for disaster assistance for those who
were affected by the Verona tornadoes. The other fundraisers are designated for the Country View Elementary
School PTO.
Photo cutlines and an article in the July 3 issue incorrectly said radio operators were demonstrating morse
code. Instead, they were using digital modes.
Helping hand
Chris Mand, Verona
School social worker, said
When kids have the school
supplies they need, they are
able to walk confidently into
their new classroom ready to
be engaged and learn.
At the end of the Stuff the
Bus drive all supplies collected will be dropped off at one
of the schools where the social
workers in the district will get
together and divide supplies
among the schools.

the community to help them
Stuff the Bus with school
supplies from Aug. 4-8.
All donations are welcome;
specific lists of needed supplies are available at the Verona Area School Districts website, verona.k12.wi.us.
School supplies can be

Tara Osterholz and Lindsey Reitzner, co-chairs for
the Verona Lions Club Stuff
the Bus project, said In the
Verona district 1,331 students out of 5,316 are on free
and reduced lunch making up
roughly 25 percent of the student body.
The average cost to get
a child ready for the school
year is $635. With your help
the donated school supplies
will make a difference in the
lives of our local children and
will give them the supplies
they need to be successful in
school.

Sectarian Violence and True Religion

The history of organized religion is filled with what can only
be described as sectarian or partisan violence. There have
been disagreements from the beginning of Christianity over
what should constitute the correct form of both practice
and belief. And these disagreements are only natural: when
finite, fallible human beings try to determine what their
infinite, infallible God expects of them, there is going to be
disagreement. But, wise men and women should realize this
and not let these disagreements turn to armed conflict and
bloodshed. Sadly, this sort of religious violence has been all
too common. Catholics and Protestants waged a series of
wars for much of the 16th and 17th century. Shia and Sunni
Muslims have waged war against each other for centuries,
and of course there seems to be no end in sight to the violence which Muslims and Jews perpetrate against each other
in the Mid-East. This is most unfortunate, since we all claim
to believe in a loving and merciful God who abhors violence
and the spilling of innocent blood. We should pray for peace
among all of Gods children and do what we can in our lives
to foster a spirit of religious unity.
- Christopher Simon via Metro New Service
For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one
body, whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free, and we were
all given the one Spirit to drink.

rooms one dedicated to
dramatic play and imaginative materials where
kids can dress up and role
play, a music and movement area and an art and
science room.
Were trying to give
them experiences in different things they might do,
Plumer said. This weeks
theme is transportation,
so were bringing in cars,
trains and planes, giving
them context and language
about that theme.
In the movement, area,
the idea is to provide different things in order to
develop a sense of balance
and strengths, with activities like yoga and dancing.
The science and art area is
very hands-on, she said,
with plenty of opportunities
for kids to experiment.
We try to keep things
new and fresh, and also try
to repeat core skills kids use
in those different areas,
she said.
Seventeenth Radish has

two full-time staff members
in addition to Plumer, and
also offers outside instructors in music, science, yoga
and karate, with more programming to come.
Its a one-stop place
where they can try things
out, she said. When kids
are 1-3, its giving them a
lot of exposure to a whole
bunch of things, since they
dont have to pick a career
path right now.
Plumer said the center is
starting to make the rounds
on mom blogs and other
social media sites.
Moms are a great audience; very grass-roots and
like to talk to each other,
so thats good news for us,
she said.
The word is already
spreading, with children
coming in from as far away
as the east side of Madison
and Evansville.
Weve seen a good variety, Plumer said. Im
really excited about all the
things were seeing, and the
kids really cant wait to get
in and get their hands dirty,
and thats exactly what
were hoping for.

from a moms point of

she noticed a gap in what
was available in the area,
from talking with parents.
They were looking for a
place where they could get
kids involved on more of a
limited-hours basis, as they
are stay-at-home parents or
didnt need or want fulltime child care, but wanted
their child to have the experience of a group setting,
she said. Or they wanted
some help figuring out what
their child is capable of at
a young age. It was something people were really
interested in.
So she started Seventeenth Radish (named for a
tale in a Dr. Seuss book),
which opened last month.
The licensed child care center offers flexible classes
that include art, music,
movement and dramatic
play.
Plumer said there
are often few options
for younger children in
enrichment activities at
most child care providers.
I have two young girls,
and we do swimming,
gymnastics and karate, and
those are great but they
all cost a lot, she said.
Youre looking at anywhere from 30 to 50 dollars an hour if you have
a 30-minute class once a
week, and those are things
parents have to stay there
to be there for their child.
We wanted to do something
a little more flexible, so we
focus on offering shorter
hours to be flexible for people.
The center has three
and home equity issues.

The office is near Klinke
Cleaners, Cost Cutters and
Postal Connections.
As the number one mortgage lender in Dane County
and a leader in financial
education, we are excited
to offer Verona-area residents competitive rates, low
closing costst, and quick
responses, along with guidance for sound financial
decisions, CEO/president
Kim Sponem said in a press
release.

Tree: Wollerman will climb at international competition

Continued from page 1

a June 17 tornado on Madisons southwest side. She and her coworkers from Steven R. Bassett, Inc. spent long days cleaning up

states first female entrant

at the ITCC in five or six
years when she qualified
in 2011. At the ITCCs, she
competes against 15-20 of
the top female climbers from
around the world.
Wollerman, 29, grew up
on a dairy farm near Fond du
Lac and played four sports
in high school. She didnt
climb trees much as a kid,
but her first job as a teenager
was for a landscaping firm in
her hometown. She liked the
work and decided to study
horticulture and landscape
design at the University of
Wisconsin-River Falls.
I knew I liked to be outdoors and I knew I couldnt
have a desk job; its not who
I am, she said.
In 2009, she was hired at
Bassett and moved to Fitchburg. Early on, she did routine maintenance and landscaping for the company
or worked as a groundie,
hauling and chipping brush
and preparing gear for her
co-workers in the trees. She
became a certified arborist in
2010.
When two of her co-workers left the company in 2010,
Wollerman was asked if she
wanted to join the tree crew.
She said yes and, to prepare,
lifted weights to strengthen
her upper body. It didnt help
much.
I was so sore the next
day, she said of her first day
of pruning. You cant really
train for it.
But she liked the work and
kept at it, eventually becoming a crew foreman. She
rises most days at 4:30 a.m.,
checks the weather and gets
to work as early as 6 a.m.
to prep equipment for that
days job.
The climb
Fitchburgs Shelly
Wollerman will
represent Wisconsin
at the International
Tree Climbing
Championship,
Aug. 2-3 at Mount
Mary University in
Milwaukee. For info,
visit itcc-isa.com.
A co-worker in 2010 also
suggested she try her hand
at competitive tree climbing,
which requires contestants,
armed with gear like harnesses, ropes and handsaws,
to perform a variety of tasks
that require speed, strength
and agility.
What really piqued Wollermans interest, she said,
was that ITCC qualifiers
could get a free trip to that
years event in Australia,
courtesy of the Wisconsin
Arborists Association.
I said, Sign me up, what
do I have to do? Wollerman said.
Competitors are scored
individually in five events:
Aerial Rescue, Work
Climb, Secured Footlock,
Belayed Speed Climb and
Throwline.
Wollerman doesnt do
much specialized training for
the contest. After all, hoisting chain saws while scaling
trunks during her day job is
training enough.
Her best showing at internationals is 11th place,
though this year shes hoping
to snag a top-three finish in
the work climb or aerial
rescue competitions.
Shes particularly qualified
for the latter contest, a timed
test that requires climbers to
save a life-sized dummy

from a treetop. She has been

an emergency responder in
Belleville since June 2013.
Wollerman said she
became an EMT because of
the dangers of her day job.
If you use a chainsaw
in a tree, she said, its
dangerous. I thought the
more prepared I was to deal
with something like that, it
couldnt hurt.
Wollerman said shes
driven, in part, by the desire
to disprove people that as
a woman, she can handle the
physical rigors of climbing.
But her arborist co-workers
and fellow contestants have
been completely supportive,
she added.
Theyre just a big bunch
of friendly guys to work
with, and they give you
credit where credits due,

she said.
Though this years ITCC
in Milwaukee wont take her
to faraway lands, shes excited to compete in her home
state.
Everybody I know is
going to be there, she said.
All the guys I work with,
my familys going to be
there, so it should be fun.
In addition to competing at
ITCC, Wollerman has other
goals in mind, including
doing more landscape design
work to satisfy her creative
side and scaling some of the
nations tallest trees.
I want to climb a redwood, she said. I havent
done that, and it would be
pretty interesting.

Above, a classroom that offered an unplanned view of the playground following the June 17 tornado has a new wall, right. The playground equipment will also be replaced.
Construction: Replacing roof, playground

When he first toured the
damage the morning after
the tornado, Gorrell said he
was left scratching (his)
head saying how is this
coming back together?
He maintained a hopeful
attitude about the school
reopening in time for the
school year, though, and
reiterated that optimism
Tuesday.
I am reasonably certain
teachers will be able to
come back August 25, he
said. Its how much stuff
will be in the way.
With just over a month
until that August deadline,
theres still much left to
do, including finishing a
reinstallation of the gymnasium floor, reconstruction
of destroyed classrooms,
the roof installation and
re-tiling the damaged area.
The re-tiling will also have
a twist, as Gorrell said CV

principal Michelle Nummerdor is going to pick out
a special tile to mark the
area affected by the storm
and remember what happened.
Gorrell said the district
decided to upgrade the roof,
which had been ballasted
with rocks that were thrown
all over the grounds in the
storm, with a fully adhered
roof that wont include any
ballast rocks. The upgrade
comes at a $140,000 cost,
but he said the school
would have needed a new
roof in five years anyway,
when it likely would have
cost more without insurance covering part of the
damages.
Crews will also replace
the playground equipment
behind the school, much of
which was embedded with
glass shards or scratched
up heavily due to the
storm. The timeline on that

replacement was unknown
as of Tuesday, but Gorrell
indicated he hoped it would
begin soon as new asphalt
will need to be laid in the
area around it as well.
Even once students
return, there will be at least
one last project left, as the
permanent windows for the
destroyed classrooms arent
expected until mid-September. In the meantime, Gorrell said the district would
install temporary windows
to take their place.
He expressed gratitude
to Findorff and its contractors who have completed as
much work as they have.
I made one phone call
(after the storm) and it was
to (project manager) Mike
Dillis at Findorff, Gorrell Debris, glass and damaged tile is now concrete and construction equipment around the school. New
said. And it was the right tile will have a different style than the rest of the school to signal what areas sustained damage in the
call.

Ice: Eagles Nest anniversary

something to do, said
president of Ice Inc. Mike
OBrien. It teaches them
a lot of things about sports,
camaraderie and teamwork. And it gives them
the chance to do something
other than sit at home.
Inside the Eagles Nest is
an Olympic sized ice sheet,
spacious locker rooms, concession stand, pro-shop,
heated mezzanine and
meeting rooms.
This year, there was an
unprecedented amount of
participation in the rinks
Learn to Skate program,
which caters to people of all
ages.
It at least doubled in
size compared to the past
year, Marshall said. It
was huge.
Marshall also said that
hes seen, more birthday
parties here in the last eight
months than Ive seen in the
last three years.
Half-jokingly, he attributes this years rise in participation to two little girls
- Frozens Elsa and Anna.
He also thinks the Olympics played a positive role
in increasing participation.
While Frozen and the
Olympics may bring more
people out to skate, it is the
community and camaraderie that keep them coming
back, he said.

This past year, the Verona Wildcats High School

Verona native Jordan

Schmaltz was a 2012 first
round draft pick by the St.
Louis Blues. His brother
Nick Schmaltz was a 2014
first round draft pick by
Chicago Blackhawks. NHL
players Phil Kessel, Jack
Skille and Adam Burish
also grew up playing ice
hockey in the Verona area.
People dont realize
how many NHL players are
from this area, Marshall
said. Its a pipe dream but
its possible.
And when people make it
to the big leagues, they like
to thank the communities
that help them get there.

When Burishs team won
the Stanley Cup in 2010,
he brought the Cup back to
for a day to share it with the
community.
Guys like that always
want to give back, Marshall said.
Helping to make dreams
like that a reality has been
one of the many highlights
over the past twenty years,
and those in leadership
positions at the arena hope
to continue the tradition
into the future.
20 years of wear
To have that success,
however, organizers will
have to continue to overcome the challenges of running a large ice arena, as 20
years of communal use also
means 20 years of wear and
tear. Today the building is
in need of some much needed upgrades, given that ice
rinks are extremely difficult
to maintain, said Marshall.
During the summer it
is expensive to keep the
ice at the desired temperature, and during the winter it is expensive to keep
adno=359802-01
the air warm enough to

be comfortable, Marshall
explained. Just this past
year the Eagles Nest spent
over $75,000 on facilities
fixing large, unseen issues
such as the dehumidification and refrigeration systems. These fixes were only
possible because of the success of past Verona Fests.
Yet there is still much to
be done.
OBrien hopes that this
years Verona Fest will
raise enough money to help
fix the doors, that are all
rotted out and rusted out.
After that, the next big
goal for the ice rink is to
fix the roof. Currently,
has the same roof it did 20
years ago and if you get
out there when its been
80+ for three or so days,
it drips pretty badly with
all the condensation, said
Marshall. Its not pretty.
Marshall estimates that
fixing the roof may cost
anywhere between $75,000
to $300,000.
So while the day-to-day
operations are generally
covered by ice time, the
Verona Fest is still needed
to raise money for bigger
repairs and improvements,
said Marshall.
While sponsorships
from local businesses are
particularly important to
the success of the Verona
Fest, every dollar here and
there is helpful, explained
OBrien.
Despite needs for expensive repairs and a recent
decrease in youth hockey
participation, hopes for the
arena are high. The publics overall involvement
in the arena has increased,
OBrien said, and the girls
ice hockey program continues to grow each year.
OBrien hopes that sometime down the road they
will be able to afford to
build a womens locker
room, expand to more classes, build a weight room and
get the youth hockey numbers back up.
Our five-year goal is to
get those things all done,
OBrien said. And we
have to do it through fundraising.

Amazing animals of science

Dr. Dino from Natures Niche, an animal rescue center in Stevens
Point, visited the Verona Public Library on Thursday, July 17.
Showing off a wide variety of animals, Dr. Dino explained many different ways science relates to nature. Natures Niche gets 95% of
its animals from confiscations or private owners realizing they do
not have the means to propertly care for the animals.
Some of the animals at Natures Niche become permanent education animals, called creature teachers. These creature teachers
assist Dr. Dino in educating kids about science and animals.
Left, Dr. Dino picks a volunteer out of the crowd of eager children
to help him show off a bunny that was bred to be abnormally large.
Bottom left, Kaydence Simmons, 8, of Oregon, carefully carries a
guinea pig around for others to see and pet.
Bottom center, volunteer Amanda Ross, of Verona, carries an albino
snake around the crowd so kids have the chance to see it up close
while Dr. Dino explains the difference between snakes and glass
lizards.
Bottom right, Dr. Dino rubs a young teen alligators belly to keep
him still while children anxiously look on.

The Cavaliers moved to
15-0 on the season after Platteville (1-14) was forced to
forfeit for not being able to put
enough players on the field.
All that stands in Veronas
way for an undefeated regular season is Hollandale (7-8),
which is fighting for one of
the final three playoff spots.
That game is at 1 p.m. Sunday.
The Cavaliers are already
guaranteed the No. 1 seed in

but the rest of the field is up in

Argyle (11-4) is guaranteed
a No. 2 seed after winning the
South Division, and Mount
Horeb/Barneveld (10-5) looks
to be the No. 3 seed. Wiota is
currently No. 4 (9-6), while
Dodgeville is No. 5 (8-7).
The other three spots are up

Connor Volker celebrates a 7-4 Verona win over Waunakee with Jacob Slonim
Thursday, July 17, at Stampfl Field.
Two leads disappeared against

Waunakee on July 17, but the
Verona Senior Legion offense
was ready to overcome the mistakes.
Three runs in the bottom of
the fifth put the Wildcats up for
good at Stampfl Field in a 7-5
win.
They played hard and did put
some big swings on the ball, and
that is all you can ask for, head
coach Fred Volker said.
Shortstop David Rogowski
and left fielder Evan Fernandez
started off the inning with walks
before pitcher Connor Volker
singled to load the bases. First
baseman Tecoa Whitehead followed with an RBI fielders
choice.
Catcher Tyler McClure singled to load the bases again, and
right fielder Charlie Mrkvicka

picked up an RBI single. Center
fielder Nate Cleghorn capped
the inning with an RBI sacrifice
fly.
Waunakee scored a run in the
top of the sixth, but Volker finished the complete game for the
win.
The Wildcats jumped out to a
2-0 lead in the first inning after
an RBI double by Rogowski
that scored third baseman Jacob
Slonim. Rogowski later scored
on an RBI single by Volker.
Two errors in the bottom of
the inning led to two runs, however, and Waunakee took a 3-2
lead in the third after a walk and
a triple.
The Wildcats took the lead
again in the bottom of the third
with two outs. Fernandez singled, and Volker drove him in
with an RBI triple. Volker later scored on an RBI single by
Whitehead.
Waunakee tied the game at 4
in the fourth on a passed ball.
They didnt hit the ball that
well, but we gave them a lot of
runs, Fred Volker said. Something we have harped on all year
is that we cannot give up 90 feet
in the Big Eight and expect to
win ballgames. They are hard
lessons to learn, and I hope they
are learning them.
Volker went all seven innings
and allowed four earned runs on
four hits. He walked four and
struck out nine.
The season concludes this
week. Verona plays at Portage at
6 p.m. Thursday. A mini-tournament scheduled for Saturday and
Sunday was canceled.

Occupation(s):
Groundskeeper/Assistant
Tournament Director for
Reddan Soccer Park and
MAYSA (Madison Area Youth
Soccer Association)
Occupation duties:
Tournament and Leagues
Manage tournament HQ and
staff, and scheduling MAYSA
leagues.
Reddan Park Pretty much
anything and everything:
paint fields, landscaping, lawn
mowing, maintain irrigation
and machinery, and various
construction projects like, reshingling the picnic shelter, to
building a fence, to demolishing the old awards terrace.
Most enjoyable part of

your job: Being outside on
a sunny day working on the
fields when the breeze is just
right.
Most challenging part:
The weather especially with
the storms this year. We had
a lot of debris from the tornado that hit Verona. We found
lots of rocks and shingles and
even a hack saw in the new
stadium.
How long have you lived in
the area: 15 years
What brought you to the
area: School at UW Madison
How else are you active
in the community: I love animals so Ive done volunteering
for the Dane County Humane
Society.
What do you like best
about your community?:There is always something going on in Madison.
Its really easy to be active and
to get out and have something
to do.
Favorite trip outside of
Verona: One summer my
family drove out to Colorado
crammed into a van. We
stopped at Mt. Rushmore and
the Badlands and did a lot of
outdoor stuff like mountain
biking and swimming. It was
fun, because it was really only
big family trip we ever managed.
What are your hobbies and
interests: Big surprise I

love soccer! I play as much
as I can. A couple summers
ago I was on 6 teams at the
same time. I also love music.
Ive never bought an album
digitally. I think Im one of the
few people left who still enjoy
reading the liner notes and
looking at album art. I also
have the stub to every concert
Ive ever attended. It must be
up to at least 50 by now.
Library and Instructor at Kehl

School of Dance
Occupation duties: As
a dance instructor, I spend
a lot of time creating choreography, giving personal
feedback to dancers, and losing my voice (talking to kids
over loud music will do that
to you). At the library, Im in
charge of teen collection management and programming,
as well as daycare outreach
at local childcare facilities.
Basically, in one day I may:
buy books, fill 46 water balloons with diluted paint, help
a parent find the best series
for her nine-year-old son,
make sushi, or practice telling
painful preschool jokes in a
strange voicewith puppets.
So, if you see me at Millers
with flour in my hair and paint
on my face, please be kind!

my expectations. My coworkers also make it difficult for
me to leave the building
because theyre so encouraging and gracious!
the area: Im a Verona native,
and I attended UW-Madison
for my Bachelors and
Masters, so Im quite a
homebody. Its actually a
little nerve-wracking giving
presentations at schools, as
my former teachers are often
watching (and mentally grading, I know it!).
about your community: I love
all of the community support!
Our residents and local businesses care about the youth.
The only way I can provide
awesome opportunities for
teens is through the support
of people who live and thrive
in Verona!
Favorite trip outside
of Verona: I look forward
to hiking and backpacking the mountains around
Breckenridge, Colorado every
summer.
interests: I enjoy embarrassing myself with family, hiking
with my dog while listening
to audiobooks, dancing (obviously, although tap is my
favorite), cooking, playing

Students Julia Sanders, 8, Laney Jahnkey, 9 and Audrey Stoesz,

9, man the peanut-free concession table for people who like baked
goods but are allergic to peanuts.
Caring: Students fundraise

through summer school class
out into the community.
The class was a four-week
enrichment course, meeting
every morning Monday to
Thursday.
Students made blankets
for the humane society,
Play-Doh for preschoolers
and bookmarks for Fitchburg and Verona Public
Libraries. They also wrote
thank-you letters to the military and cards for hospitalized children. They even
made life-saver packs for
local firefighters and handdelivered them to the fire
station.
The best part is that the
kids came up with everything, said Sugar Creek
Elementary School principal Todd Brunner, who
spent time at a recent bake
sale fundraiser the class
organized.
Not only were students
able to spread messages
of thanks and hope, but
through such actions they
learned the importance of
community service.
It is important to help
out the community so we
have a better world to live
in, said Glacier Edge Elementary student Alexander
Rios, 9.
This sentiment was
shared by practically all of
the students in the class.
Alicia Rush, 9, from
Country View Elementary, particularly enjoyed
making cards for hospitalized children because it is
doing something to make
Youre the point of

everything we do.
At Meriter, weve always focused on whats best for our patients.
Thats why weve joined forces with UnityPoint Health, one of the
nations leaders in reshaping health care. This makes us stronger
than ever, so we can better coordinate care between your clinic,
hospital, insurance company and home. Well work together
around a single purpose. You.
them feel good and feel

happy.
Krantz and Reed dreamt
up the idea of this class in
an effort to come up with
something fun that was
based off a pay it forward,
random acts of kindness
idea said Krantz. While
they really didnt know
what to expect, the response
from the community and
the students has been fantastic, they said.
The class was open to
K-5 because we liked the
idea of having older kids
helping out younger kids,
Krantz said. And it has
worked beautifully.
Older children have taken
leadership roles within the
class to help the younger students gain as much
from the experience as they
could.
On Wednesday, July 16,
the second-to-last day of
class, the students held a
bake sale fundraiser to help
Country View Elementary
School in the aftermath
of the tornado that tore up
half the school June 17.
They sold a variety of items
including cookies, pastries,
goldfish, Lifesavers and
lemonade. In less than two
hours, the bake sale sold
out of all 405 items available, raising $516.43.
We were completely
amazed by the overwhelming generosity of the staff,
students and parents,
Krantz exclaimed. The
kids were so proud.
