Right, Kyllan Wunder measures the length of a ga-ga ball pit frame during a work day for his Eagle Scout project on Saturday, May 11, at Glacier Edge Elementary School.
A measure of success Eagle Scout rank candidate Kyllan Wunder is trying to make the Glacier Edge Elementary School playground a little more fun. On Saturday, May 11, and Sunday, May 12, Wunder, his parents and three dozen volunteers built two “ga-ga ball” pits along the side of the
building. The game, similar to dodgeball, is played where children stand inside the pit and attempt to remove others from the game by making contact with the ball on their legs. Wunder, a Verona Area High School student, told the Press he came up with the idea after speaking with
a teacher at GE, and has learned a lot about being a “project manager” throughout the process. Email reporter Kimberly Wethal at kimberly.wethal@wcinet.com and follow her on Twitter @kimberly_wethal.
Police increased their presence at Verona Area High School May 10 after responding to three separate fights at the school the day before that resulted in three student arrests. Superintendent Dean Gorrell told the Press the fights were a result of “longstanding personal disputes” and that there were no weapons involved. Gorrell Verona Police Dept. Lt. Dave Dresser provided a similar summary to the Press, adding that there “were no gang overtones to these particular fights.” “For some of these kids, it’s just an ongoing feud,” Dresser said. “They’ve known each other for a long time.”
One of the fights led to “several upset parents” coming to the school, “yelling, threatening staff and creating a disturbance,” according to a VPD news release. The release states that two juveniles and one staff member were injured during the fights, and three students were arrested. Dresser told the Press VPD arrested a 15-year-old Verona girl for interfering with an arrest, a 15-year-old boy from Fitchburg for battery and disorderly conduct and a 16-year-old girl from Madison for disorderly conduct. He said they anticipate more charges for others involved in the fights, but the investigation is ongoing, including reviewing video of the incidents. VAHS principal Pam Hammen sent an email to parents Thursday night that said students involved in the fights were suspended, as were some students who were initiating “social media chatter” about ongoing conflicts. Gorrell told the Press that

Icki Sticki OK’d despite reservations
Middle school schedule goals include ‘enrichment’ period
A downtown cold treats and breakfast food restaurant has the go-ahead to move into what used to be a liquor store. Icki Sticki, which opened in Mount Horeb in January, plans a second store in Verona this year, at 103 S. Main St., in the same building as Goochi Poochi, Ginkgo Tree and Toot and Kate’s Wine Bar. Its owners plan to serve Chocolate Shoppe ice cream, shaved ice, coffee, bakery items and Belgian waffles. Two alders voted against the proposal Monday, with both saying they appreciated the business but had strong reservations about
the location. The 13-yearold building is next to a gas station and near the Main Street-Verona Avenue intersection, and both Kate Cronin (Dist. 3) and Christine Posey (D-1) said the layout could compromise the safety of young children who are sure to patronize the business. Yet Cronin said it’s “exactly the kind of business I’d like to see coming downtown.” Planning director Adam Sayre told the council it’s difficult to make a case for denying the permit over such concerns. The week before, the Plan Commission reviewed the site plan, which addresses traffic and parking, among other things, though being an existing
building narrowed the scope of the commission’s review, as well. “From our standpoint, the use works there,” Sayre said. “There are limited things we can change about a building and how it is designed and how it is built.” Ald. Sarah Gaskell (D-2) said this issue is an opportunity to review how the intersection operates. Ald. Evan Touchett (D-4) was more worried about how the perceived safety issues would affect the business. He called the Orange Leaf Yogurt and Dairy Queen closures elsewhere in the past two years “embarrassing,” and said putting the business in that spot is risky.

Adding a period for focused work with individual students and more time for core classes are among the priorities for any changes to the middle school schedule in the Verona Area School District. The district plans to “align” Badger Ridge and S a va n n a O a k s m i d d l e schools, in both scheduling and class offerings, by the 2020-21 school year. Staff presented an update on the scheduling plans to the school board’s curriculum, instruction and assessment committee Friday, May 3.
TDS fiber-optic installation project put on hold Verona Press editor
The city has ordered TDS to stop drilling on its fiber-optic installation project, which has been going on and off in Verona for several years. The most recent segment began last fall and has drawn many complaints from residents for “a lack of restoration work,” interim city administrator Adam Sayre told the Common Council at its regular meeting Monday. Sayre said the work stopped entirely at one
City in brief Llanos beacon The first step in improving safety in front of Badger Ridge Middle School is making progress. The city has installed bases for its rectangular rapid-flashing beacon, which has been ordered and is expected to arrive in 4-6 weeks, interim city administrator Adam Sayre told the Common Council on Monday. City staff will install it. City and school district staff discussed short-term and long-term options for improving safety at a May 1 meeting, Sayre reported. He said both are working on educational materials for both drivers and children and have them ready before the school year starts. He told alders he didn’t
expect the minimum distance for children to be bused to change, but as the traffic patterns change with the school becoming an elementary in 2020, he said the city plans to continue working with VASD.

Normally, that step provides the developer assurances it can build, but this one is concurrently going through a planned-unit development process, as well, meaning it will require a general development plan. In this case, that’s notable because city leaders at various levels have questioned several high-value items, such as the use of “pocket

AoS executive director Erin Chisman told the Press in an email the nonprofit, located at 408 N.

The school district’s request to leave space for a potential school also has complicated approval of the plan, which Forward Development Group has modified several times since bringing to the city in late 2017.

Consultant Michael Rettig is working with the district on the initiative. The key questions for him from staff include: • The relationship between student behavior and the number of teachers a student sees each day and throughout the year • The appropriate balance between core subjects like math and social studies and encore classes like music • How many subjects a student should be enrolled in at any one time District staff plan to review research on middle school scheduling, expand the committee making decisions to include teachers and staff and seek feedback from students and families. District director of curriculum and instruction Ann Franke wrote in an email that feedback will be gathered sometime next fall, with planning this summer.

point, but city staff, TDS and its contractors worked together to get on the same page about the city’s expectations. “Some of the restoration work was not to our standards of what we would expect,” he said. “Our position is they need to address those before they can continue to keep drilling elsewhere in the city.” Any complaints about the project can be directed to city public works director Theran Jacobson at 848-6801. TDS also typically has its own point person on each project to hear concerns from residents, whether they are customers are not.

An enrichment or intervention period would provide time for staff to work directly with students on challenging subjects or offer students a chance to focus on an area of study especially interesting to them. The challenge of making any changes, like considering the needs of the Two Way Immersion program that will be new to the middle schools next year, is that, “to put something in you must take something out,” as one of the presentation slides stated. The goal of any changes, according to the presentation, would be “removing predictability of students’ outcomes,” which is one of the priorities identified in the district’s strategic plan created last year. That includes bringing up test scores and grades for traditionally underrepresented student groups, both by race and socioeconomic status.

Library aims to keep kids reading during the summer I n a few short weeks, memories of freezing temperatures will start to fade as the summer sun starts to shine. And legions of children will wrap up their school year, grab their library cards and descend on the public library for the annual Summer Reading Program. This year, the program has gotten longer, even as the summer break has gotten shorter. It will run all summer instead of just the first six weeks after school lets out. Burkhart Summer reading programs have been around almost as long as there have been public libraries, with the idea to encourage kids to keep reading books over the summer. The concept is simple, with the library offering prizes and coupons for area treats and attractions. There are also lots of opportunities to keep their young minds engaged like science classes, children’s performers, arts and crafts and story times. The main reason to encourage kids to read is so their reading skills don’t stagnate or slide during the long summer break from school. They hold on to the skills they’ve acquired and return to school ready to build on their reading skills instead of needing to play catchup. It’s good for children, good for teachers and schools, and in the big picture, it is good for
everyone who wants to continue to live in a society of educated citizens. Perhaps sometime in the notso-distant past, librarians came up with the summer reading program idea so they could live vicariously through these young readers who can take home piles of books and have the free time to read them, and if that wasn’t enough, be awarded with bonus prizes for reading. Temporarily freed from the rigors school days and homework assignments, summer is a time when the pace slows down a bit and kids have a little extra space to explore their own reading interests. My own kids went through phases of devouring books on various topics ranging from outer space, the Titanic, Greek mythology, secret agents, comics and joke books, to name a few. Some of my favorite moments working in the library happen in the summer. The excitement of the first days of summer vacation is in the air and the library parking lot is full. We often have 500 children sign up the first day of the program. We get to see the pride and accomplishment kids have when they bring in their reading records. A particular favorite was a brother and sister who raced each other through all 190 Hardy Boys books and then immediately started in on the 175 Nancy Drew books. They checked out as many books as they could carry at a time, and we never found out who finished first. We also get to see enthusiastic preschoolers dancing along to
songs in story time and quiet kids who don’t often say much but come back week after week. This summer, the reading program theme at most libraries is “A Universe of Stories.” At the Verona Public Library, we will be offering lots of space-themed programs and events based on this theme. Our extended program – lasting the summer for the first time – is a result of a generous donation from the Friends of the Verona Public Library and the support of many area businesses. We are anticipating 3,000 or more kids and teens to join us at the library this summer, and we hope they all bring their sense of discovery and their library card. Summer reading is for grownups, too. We encourage everyone to read, and as part of that, we do a weekly summer prize drawing for gift cards to area restaurants. Just stop by the library and fill out an entry form with the title of a book you read over the summer to enter. There is no wrong way to be a reader. You can read slowly, quickly, intensively, or extensively. Their brain benefits whether your child re-reads the Harry Potter series for the fifth time or discovers new favorites. You can read books with plots or books with facts. All reading is good reading, and summer is a good time to do it. Stacey Burkart is the director of the Verona Public Library.

The Less We Have, the More We Can Give “Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.” – Romans 12:13 NIV The freedom that comes from voluntary poverty is related to the fact that having few material possessions allows us to give more of ourselves and to be free of the worries and hassles that come with cars, houses, and other material things that require upkeep. Be happy with what you have and happy with what you don’t have. Mother Teresa exhorted her followers to give until it hurts, to relish their poverty. The Bible has several important messages about poverty. First, it is clear throughout the Bible that someone who exploits the poor is committing a serious sin for which the Lord will exact punishment: “Do not exploit the poor because they are poor and do not crush the needy in court, for the Lord will take up their case and will exact life for life.” (Proverbs 22:22-23 NIV) Secondly, we are told that our charity and generosity must be done willingly and with an eye to helping our fellow man: “Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, ‘Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,’ but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it?”(James 2:15-16 NIV) And finally, remember that love is an action, and not simply an emotion. We are commanded to love, and we do this through our everyday actions with the people we meet. –Christopher Simon

Ask the Verona
DENTIST
VETERINARIAN
Q. Help! My dentures don’t seem to fit anymore. What can I do? A. If you’ve had your dentures or partial for more than 3-5 years it’s possible that it doesn’t fit as
well as it used to. Any time teeth are removed, the bone that used to hold those teeth in place starts to dissolve away. Dentures that were made to fit your mouth several years ago, were made to fit the way things were, not the way they currently are. Denture wearers often compensate for this by using more and more adhesive until the desired fit is achieved. This leads to more rocking and moving of the dentures and a faster loss of bone. We have several options available to treat these problems. Typically in a well-made denture or partial, Dr. James Sands, DDS we can take an impression with your current denture and have the inside of the denture re-fit or relined to better match the inside of your mouth. In cases where there are several problems with the existing set, sometimes a new set needs to be fabricated. In most cases, we also have the ability to place implant anchors into the mouth that can make your denture feel almost like your natural teeth. You no longer need to suffer with ill-fitting dentures. If you have any questions about what options are available to you or what we can do to make things more comfortable, please give us a call to set up a consultation.
Q. What is Leptospira and should I vaccinate my dog for it? A. Leptospira is a bacteria that can cause kidney and liver failure in dogs. Dogs
become infected by this bacteria when abraded skin comes into contact with infected urine or with water contaminated with infected urine. Bite wounds, reproductive secretions and even consumption of infected tissues can cause this infection. The organisms can quickly spread through the blood stream and accumulate in the liver or kidneys to cause failure of these organs. Symptoms Christopher Voss can include fever, depression, not wanting to eat, nausea, joint pain, excessive D.V.M. drinking, jaundice and bleeding problems. This infection can be treated by your veterinarian if treatment is started soon with antibiotics and intravenous fluids. It is possible to prevent infection with a Leptospira vaccination at your annual check-up. The vaccination immunizes dogs against the five most common strains of Leptospira.

When searching for a permanent residence for a senior, there is no better choice than where the elderly loved-one is most comfortable: their own home.

Q. How efficient is my air conditioner, and should I consider replacing it?
A. The efficiency of your air conditioner is defined by its seer rating. In 2006 the 10 seer minimum got increased to 13 seer, which was about a 23% jump in efficiency. In this part of the country, 13 seer is still the minimum, but 16 seer and up are achievable and offer increased energy savings and possibly rebates.

these days. You’d think pricing high in a seller’s market would make sense, but it seems to be having adverse effect. Buyers have adapted quickly to this market and they are trained with the mindset that they will likely have to pay near or maybe even above asking price. Any buyer that has looked at a few houses in your neighborhood knows if your house is overpriced. As a result, many will just skip over your house and not even look at it if it’s priced too high. Or worse, they might look at your house, but not even offer if they aren’t willing to offer near asking price. It only takes about 3 weeks on the market Keith & Kinsey Schulz for buyers to start questioning, what’s wrong with that house? Why does nobody else want it? So, the house sits on the market until the seller has done a few price reductions. At this point the house is Real Estate Team priced where it probably should have been priced to begin with. The big difference is there are very few people looking at it now, and the buyer gains more negotiating power. Sellers are really having the best outcome if they price a home accurately. If your house looks like a deal compared to your neighbors overpriced houses, you will likely get multiple offers and you’ll be sitting in the position of power for negotiations. Pricing a home accurately really seems to have the best outcome for sellers right now. adno=73522
to a tax-advantaged 529 education savings plan. But first you’ll want to better understand some of the myths surrounding these plans. Here’s myth No. 1: You need a lot of money to invest in a 529 plan. Actually, you can invest small amounts on a monthly basis. Myth No. 2: If your child doesn’t use the plan, you’ll lose the money you’ve invested. But in reality, you can switch beneficiaries to another eligible family member. Myth No. 3: A 529 plan eliminates financial aid opportunities. This isn’t necessarily true. Several factors determine financial aid packages – and building significant assets in a 529 plan could outweigh the potential loss of some needsbased financial aid. Before investing in a 529 plan, study its program description, which lists Brendon Diers, AAMS® investment options, fees, risks and other key information. Also, check with your tax advisor Financial Advisor before investing, as tax issues for 529 plans can be complex. But don’t let “myths” scare you off from one of the best college-savings vehicles.

PHYSICAL THERAPY
Q. My doctor’s office told me that I have to go to one of their clinics for PT. Is this true?
A. An order for Physical Therapy from a licensed physician in the State of Wisconsin allows you to go to any clinic in Wisconsin that you desire for outpatient Physical Therapy treatment. A majority of the referrals from large hospital systems will list clinics associated with their system. This doesn’t prevent you from requesting a specific PT clinic. In fact, the doctor’s office should inform you that you are allowed to choose your place of service.

ATTORNEY
Q. Why should you have a Will? A. Short Answer: Your Will, your way.
Having a Will is one of the most important things you can do for yourself and your family. It allows you to determine how your probate estate is distributed. If you die without a Will there is no guarantee that your wishes will be carried out. Through estate planning documents you are able to designate who you wish to care for your minor children. If you die with probate assets over the amount of $50,000.00, your estate will to be probated and the process is likely to be more Terese M. Hansen time consuming without a Will. Family members may argue over who should Attorney-At-Law manage your estate and how your assets should be divided. People wishing to leave something to a charity, or exclude specific family members are able to designate their wishes in a Will, whereas distributions directed by law fail to take individual wishes into account. By naming a trusted individual as your Personal Representative in your Will, you decide who manages and distributes your assets after your death. Even if you have a Will, it is important to periodically review and update your document as your life evolves. 111 E.

Senior Max Herkert’s signature event remains the pole vault, and he proved it again with a Big Eight Conference title. But Herkert showed his range in the 300-meter intermediate hurdles for the first time and finished as the Big Eight Conference runner-up on Friday, May 10, proving he would do what he could to end Middleton’s dominance. He captured the conference title in the pole vault (14-feet) and was second in three other events — the 110 high hurdles (15.79), high jump (6-2) and 300 hurdles (41.49) — at Lussier Stadium in Madison. Herkert racked up a meet-high 34 points.

The Verona boys tennis team lost its first dual meet of the season last week at Sun Prairie and finished in a three-way tie for first place for the dual meet portion of its season. Earlier in the week, the Wildcats leaned on their singles lineup strength to post a 3-0 record at the Sun Prairie invitational. The three Verona players who went unbeaten were senior Will Tennison, junior Kush Nagpal and senior Christopher Queoff. Verona, ranked sixth in the Division 1 Wisconsin High School Coaches

Remiker repeats as 800 conference champ MARK NESBITT Assistant sports editor
As the defending Big Eight Conference champion in the 800-meter run, Verona junior Leah Remiker wanted to live up to her performance from last year. She did just that, winning the race on Friday, May 10, with a time of 2 minutes, 22 seconds at the conference meet at Lussier Stadium in Madison.
“ T h e r e wa s a l o t o f pressure for me personally because I won it last year,” Remiker said. “I have a lot of really good competition and there was a lot of pressure to win it again.” It was one second away from her season-best time. “It was a little rough because I knew I had to go out faster,” Remiker said. Remiker said she got boxed-in at the 200-meter mark.
“I was just like, ‘I need to get ahead of them,’” she said. “I guess it just amped me up for the last 400.” Remiker had the best of Verona’s 12 top-five finishes, as the team took fifth in the conference meet with 62 points. It was a close race for the conference championship as Sun Prairie (152) edged Madison Memorial

and Ellen (Evert) Anderson. Virginia graduated from West High School in 1956, receiving top award in commercial class, which ensured her a job after school with the State Department of Securities. Virginia married James Schumann on July 6, 1957. A friend talked her into taking a job at CUNA Mutual Insurance where she started at the bottom of the secretarial pool and worked her way up to the second highest secretarial position. Virginia retired from CUNA Mutual in 1970, after her daughter Shannon was born. Her daughter Erin arrived in 1974 and Virginia stayed at home until both her daughters
were in school. She then returned to the workforce at the Verona Area High School as a librarian assistant. Virginia was an organist at St. James Lutheran Church in Verona for over 30 years. She worked for the Wisconsin Associated of Life Underwriters (WALU) and Minitube of America in Verona. She enjoyed volunteering at Henry Vilas Zoo, especially handling and showing Clyde and Julius Squeezer, the boa constrictors. Virginia loved animals and had numerous dogs, horses and cats over the years. She also enjoyed playing the piano and target shooting with her pistols.
Virginia is survived by her husband, James; two daughters, Shannon Verbos and Erin (Mike Roberts) Schumann; brother, Duane (Marcia) Anderson; sister-in-laws, Joyce Prochnow and Gloria (Mike) Mullvain; brother-in-law, Eugene (Jean) Schumann and many nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews.

Fights: Conflicts result in two juveniles, one staff member being injured, three arrested Continued from page 1 students brought the social media information to the attention of staff members. “We get information, frankly, from other kids,” Gorrell said. “That goes to the relationships that staff have built with kids over the years so that they feel comfortable doing that.” He said the fighting created “no threat to the general population, because it was very targeted.” But incidents
like this can “have a collateral impact,” he added, as there is a difference between “your personal experiences with safety, and then your perception of safety.” “For people who have no personal experiences other than a positive place to be, supportive staff, caring environment, ‘I feel safe here’ — they’ve had no other experiences other than that, things like this that happen in their environment, makes them think, ‘Gosh,’” he said.

Three fights The first fight began around 11:55 a.m., when the police school liaison officer stationed at VAHS reported “what appeared to be a large fight in the commons area,” the VPD release states. School staff separated the participants, and many of those in the area were believed to be gathered around watching and recording the fight, not actively fighting. An hour later, the officer reported another fight in the hallway outside the performing arts center, according to the release. The officer had “a difficult time calling for assistance over the radio” as he physically restrained a student who was trying to fight, and the sounds of an officer in distress on the radio prompted a “large law enforcement response” to the school, which included Dane County Sheriff’s deputies. By the time that fight was over, the parents had arrived at the school, and officers stood by until that group left. During the disturbance, the
police school liaison was kicked by a juvenile and a student injured in the fight was taken to the hospital by his father. At 2:56 p.m., the PSL asked for an ambulance to respond to the high school for a student injured as a result of a fight. Officers who responded “found a highly agitated group of juveniles,” while Fitch-Rona EMS attended to the female student who “suffered a reported medical emergency while trying to break up the fight.” “She was not injured as a result of the fight,” Dresser said. “She was trying to break the fight up and had a medical emergency.” Another female student was taken into custody after punching a police officer, according to the release, and a male student was taken into custody for his role as a “primary aggressor” in the fight. Soon after, another female student was taken into custody after flipping over a table. “It was also learned that a staff member had been
battered during the fight and sought medical attention,” the release states. In October, a lunch period was ended early after a fight in the VAHS cafeteria and “several other fights” in the rest of the school. Those incidents involved no reported injuries.
School response Thursday’s letter from Hammen states that there were two separate “classroom holds” issued during the day, which has students remain in their classrooms and instruction continue throughout an incident. During the hold, students are not allowed to enter the building. She wrote that additional school consequences beyond suspension “may be issued if warranted at the conclusion of our investigation.” The letter home was sent at 8:47 p.m., 27 minutes after the VPD sent out its release to news outlets. “We work to get information out to families as
quickly as possible,” Hammen wrote. “In some cases, as in this one, that notice is not as timely as we’d like it to be and not as timely as you need it to be. Our staff and administration were very consumed with separating and interviewing students, reviewing video and contacting parents in an effort to provide you with reliable information.” District director of human resources Jason Olson told the Press there was an allstaff meeting Friday morning “in part to reassure staff but also to give them as much information as they could.” Gorrell said the staff and other students are key to keeping a positive environment after a day like Thursday. “Our staff are incredibly caring and resilient. They’re reaching out to kids all the time,” he said. “We also have kids that are doing the same. We don’t want to forget that the vast, vast majority of kids in that school want that to be a place that they’re proud of, that they feel safe in.”

New Century and Sugar Creek Elementary schools were put under a “building secure” threat level Monday for about 20 minutes, though the nearby potential threat ended up being a hunter. The Verona Police Department received a report of a man walking “with some kind of a long gun”
on the Military Ridge Bike Trail at 11:42 a.m., according to a VPD news release. While officers were unable to locate him in the City of Verona, a state Department of Natural Resources game warden located the man, who said he was hunting in the public grounds west of Verona. “It was determined there was no
