Summer upgrades bring AC BRMS, Stoner Prairie get climate control
School renovations
SCOTT GIRARD Unified Newspaper Group
Summer break is short this year in the Verona Area School District, but Mother Nature might have its own plans. The extended hot weather could make this summer’s addition of building wide air conditioning at Stoner Prairie Elementary School and Badger Ridge Middle school all the more important when students return Aug. 23. Those two projects, along with additional security

What is futsal? Futsal is played on a basketball court with a ball that is smaller than a normal outdoor soccer ball. The ball is harder and has less bounce than a regular soccer ball, making it easier to control and pass. The international length of a court is 38-42 meters long (124.6-137.8 feet) and 18-25 meters wide (59-82 feet). For U.S. matches, a court is 25-42 meters long (82137.8 feet) and 15-25 meters wide (49.2-82 feet). Unlimited substitutions are allowed. players’ birth years.

Fire chief hiring process begins Applications will be open until Sept. 8 JUSTIN LOEWEN Press correspondent
Applications will open the first week of August to find a successor for retiring fire chief Joe Giver. Giver, who is leaving the role Sept. 27, became Verona’s first full- Giver time chief in 2011. The City of Verona Police and Fire Commission authorized the recruitment
of a full-time fire chief in an Aug. 1 meeting, with an application deadline set for Sept. 8. The job description for fire chief will remain unchanged. It was last updated May 2013, while the PFC was helping to plan to transition from the Verona Fire Commission to being a city department. At the time, Giver was already the fire chief, and the PFC agreed not to hold an open hiring for the position. That decision sparked a lawsuit from the local firefighters union after Giver decided to hold open hiring for his staff. For this opening, the PFC decided to forgo using consultants for advertising and
hiring the position, instead opting to use the services of city human resources coordinator Mitch Weckerly. During the discussion, PFC president Delora Newton brought up the possibility of gathering public input on the hiring process, and the commission initially considered collecting feedback on the position description. The group decided input would be best for screening selected candidates and discussed options that included a public meeting and word of mouth. The PFC settled on an email method, as it was considered the most flexible for people with busy schedules and would allow
feedback to be sent to city staff and relayed to the commission. The PFC is still working on what will be asked of the public. Giver’s official last day is Jan. 2, 2020, but according to the retirement agreement he signed last month, he will use acquired leave after September. Giver told the Press last month he had planned to retire in January 2019 before the firefighters union complained about his leadership and called for his resignation in November 2018. Instead, he said, he stuck around to fix problems that had been raised in a consultant’s report last summer.

Area mosquitoes test positive for West Nile Virus Minimal human health risks, county health dept. says SCOTT DE LARUELLE Unified Newspaper Group
The West Nile Virus has arrived in Dane County in the form of infected mosquitoes, though less than 1% of people infected with the virus will become seriously ill, according to a July 29 Public Health Madison and Dane County news release. County health officials, who monitor mosquito traps across the county during the summer, said this is the first positive test for West Nile Virus in county mosquitoes this year. PHMDC Environmental Health Supervisor John Hausbeck said in the release the discovery “means residents need to continue their efforts to
prevent mosquito bites to protect themselves from getting the virus,” According to county health officials, 80% of people infected with West Nile Virus do not get sick, and those who do usually experience mild symptoms such as fever, headache, muscle aches and rash. Less than 1% of people infected get seriously ill, with symptoms including high fever, muscle weakness, stiff neck, disorientation, tremors and paralysis. Older adults and those with weakened immune systems are at greater risk of developing a case that can be fatal, according to the news release. To monitor for West Nile Virus, the Wisconsin Division of Public Health asks that people report sick or dead crows, blue jays or ravens to the Dead Bird Reporting Hotline at 1-800433-1610.

An officer started to feel sick while searching a car during a traffic stop, prompting Verona police to call the City of Madison Hazardous Incident Team on the night of July 31 night, but no foul substances were discovered. The incident blocked off a lane of traffic on East Verona Avenue for more than an hour, drawing curious onlookers, who were told to keep a safe distance. Lt. Mark Horstmann told the Verona Press it began with a traffic stop, which the police log classified as a drug investigation. He was on the scene the entire time, along with several other local first responders, as materials were tested and repeatedly came up negative for a wide variety of potentially dangerous

When immersed, failing is harder than you’d think T he server jotted down his order, nodded her head and went back to the kitchen. No follow up questions, no odd looks. My cousin, now three weeks into his visit to Costa Rica had just ordered a hamburger, no tomato, no ketchup, with cheese, lettuce and onion – in Spanish. I was excited. Three weeks earlier, that order would have been a disaster; however, now that his Spanish had picked up and he nailed the order. In early Dresser April, he had contacted me about coming down for a few weeks this summer to help me with my business and immerse himself in the culture. He was going to graduate high school and wanted to do an extended stay, as during his previous visits he had been on vacation or participating in an exchange program. I said sure, knowing we’d be in for some fun. My cousin, you see, has the perfect personality for cultural immersion. He knows no shame and will throw himself into any situation, whether or not he has the vocabulary. He might embarrass himself, but he learns a lot from the experiences and will tell you all about them. For this particular trip, he decided to journal every day about his experience and shared it with friends and family to follow. It was excellent insight to how someone would react to being in a new culture and a great way for me to see just how immersed and uncomfortable I could actually make him.
Knowing his personality, I had no trouble abandoning him when he needed me most. There was the day I waited in line with him at the bank to exchange money, only to promptly duck out when his turn came. He played it cool afterward, though his journal described nervousness and exhilaration that by just saying “dollars, colones” and putting the cash down on the counter was enough for the teller to understand him. There was also the day we had a volunteer in town who was looking for a place to eat lunch. Without hesitation, I sent him on this solo mission with her to a local restaurant a few blocks down the street. He said everything went fine, but his journal depicted the major breakthrough being when, at a total loss for words, he asked for the “menu” using the English word, only to find out that they use the same word in Spanish. You might look at these as small accomplishments, but this reminded me so much of what I went through during my first extended cultural immersion experience. A string of many nervous moments where dumb luck bailed me out. My Costa Rican friends told me that to avoid having to rely on sheer luck, it would be best to find a Costa Rican girlfriend. I used that strategy, and it was no accident that I ended up staying in Costa Rica because of it. So I’d be lying if I said my wife and I didn’t have someone lined up for him. Our family friend has a daughter his age wanting to learn English, and knowing my cousin wants to improve his Spanish, we couldn’t let this opportunity pass. I previously said my cousin
has no fear of anything, but it turns out his Kryptonite is putting him in a room with a beautiful girl who doesn’t speak English. I have to say this silent version of my cousin was something I’d rarely seen. He would always find a way to fill any silence, but he was at a loss for words with this girl. As much as I wanted to help him, I knew that I would only impede and take away from their opportunity to practice speaking with each other. After they went out the first time, I didn’t even have to wait for the journal entry. He was like a balloon about to burst with all the things he wanted to share. What words he learned, what words he taught, where they went and even the bracelet and cologne she gave him. Culturally, the gift caught him off guard, but he saved face by paying for dinner. A week later she invited him over for lunch, and he made it a point to bring her flowers. My cousin has now returned to the United States, and as much as he missed his friends and family, I’m sure he wouldn’t have minded staying another month if he could. I don’t doubt he will be back, and he might come back so much that he’ll get sick enough of leaving and find a way to stay. Whether he’s back for the language, culture, families or even the girls, it will only add to his experience. Next time, I’ll teach him how to order a double cheeseburger, or maybe a well-done steak. The possibilities are endless. Dustin Dresser is a 2004 Verona Area High School graduate living in Costa Rica.

Next month, contractors will begin tearing up the last piece of country road between Epic and Madison. The City of Verona has set a meeting for Thursday, Aug. 15, to present its plans to the public for the County Hwy. PD reconstruction between County Hwy. M and Woods Road. It runs from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the Verona City Center council chambers, 111 Lincoln St. The $1.5 million project (not including land acquisition) is scheduled to begin Sept. 9 and end in fall 2020. It will link two larger projects – the in-progress County Hwy. M upgrade and the Northern Lights/Nine Mound Road expansion from two years ago. The PD and Northern Lights projects are both direct results of increased traffic because of Epic,
At the Aug. 15 meeting, public works staff plan to be on hand to answer any questions and address comments. “Rest assured that we understand the importance of providing access to your residence and/or business at all times,” the city’s letter to nearby residents and businesses reads. The project is expected to be suspended during the winter and restart in the spring. “Please note that all construction schedules are subject to change,” the letter states. For information on the project or the meeting, call the public works department at 845-6695.
Ve r o n a ’s A m e r i c a n Legion Post 385 will commemorate the national organization’s 100 year anniversary this month. The legion will open its doors to the community from 1-4 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 18, for an open house at 207 Legion St. The event will include military exhibits, informational booths and free hot dogs and brats, according to a news release from the Legion. Verona Mayor Luke Diaz will also proclaim Aug. 18 as American Legion Day, according to the release. The legion was founded on Feb. 16, 1919, the release states, by Lt. Col. Theodore Roosevelt Jr., Maj. Eric Fisher Wood and Lt. Col. Franklin D’Olier. The U.S. Congress
chartered the organization seven months later. Nineteen World War I veterans would organize Verona’s legion post 14 years later. The post, founded on Nov. 20, 1933, was named in honor of Pvt. William Mason and Pvt. 1st Class Frank Lindsay, according to the release. Mason died in 1922 at the age of 28, having returned to Verona in 1920 and marrying in March 1921. He developed tuberculosis after his service in World War I. Mason lived in Verona his entire life other than while serving in the war, the release states. Lindsay ran a barbershop in Verona after the war, and died in 1926, according to the release. He had complained of a headache the morning of Dec. 16, but went to work and was later found unconscious by an employee, later dying at his father’s home.

Cultivate Your Friendships “Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.” – Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 NIV The advice to cultivate your friendships is good advice on a variety of levels. Having good and reliable friends provides the social support that all of us need. And there is good evidence that loneliness is a serious health risk, increasing your risk of high blood pressure, depression and dementia. The advice to cultivate your friendships is also particularly relevant in today’s highly mobile society. People often relocate because of school or work, and while technology can keep us connected even when we’re halfway around the world, too often we spend our free time diverted from the quality time we should be spending with people who matter to us. There are many ways to cultivate our friendships, and they all start with spending time with our friends and communicating with them when we can’t be with them physically. As always, the golden rule applies to friendship as to every other relationship, and counsels us to do the things for our friends that we would like them to do for us, such as lending an ear, helping in times of need, and just being there to share the good times and the bad. – Christopher Simon

Cavaliers outduel Braves to advance MARK NESBITT Assistant sports editor
There haven’t been many games Verona has been outhit this season. That was the case in a first-round Home Talent League playoff game on Sunday, Aug. 4, against West Middleton, but the Cavaliers turned two double plays and made a couple of highlight-reel catches to beat the Braves 2-0. “Our defense was unbelievable,” Verona player-manager David Lund said. “Those double plays were huge. Our infield played great, and Nelly (pitcher Kyle Nelson) feeds off that.” West Middleton outhit Verona 5-4. The Cavaliers’ Mike Jordahl delivered a timely two-out, two-run single in the bottom of the fifth inning to give Verona a two-run lead it would not relinquish. West Middleton had to forfeit three games earlier this season for using an ineligible player but snuck into the playoffs as an eighth seed looking to upset top-seeded Verona, which is looking to repeat as HTL champions. “It’s heated every time we play them and it means something,” Jordhal said. “It’s kind of weird facing them now because they
probably would have been a two or three seed. We would have had to face them regardless at some point.” Verona (15-1) advances and will host Shullsburg/ Benton in a second-round playoff game at 1 p.m. Sunday at Stampfl Field. Verona shortstop Justin Scanlon made a diving catch in shallow left field in the top of the fifth. Later in the inning, center fielder Derek Burgenske threw a runner out at the plate by six feet. Those two dazzling defensive plays sparked Nelson, who tossed a five-hit shutout to earn the win. “He’s been like that all year,” Lund said of Nelson. “Ever since he has come to pitch for us and has been in this league, he has been a workhorse.” West Middleton was 0-for5 hitting with runners in scoring position and stranded eight. With two runners on base in the sixth, Dakota Daniels hit a line drive that Verona second baseman Klayton Brandt made a leaping catch on. The Braves had a golden scoring opportunity in the seventh with two on and one out, but the Cavaliers turned a 4-6-3 double play on Drew Haack’s grounder to end the Photo by Mark Nesbitt threat.

We had a few diving catches, and that was huge.” T h e C ava l i e r s b r o k e through in a picthers’ duel against West Middleton’s Justin Langley in the bottom of the fifth. Brandt walked and moved to second base on a passed ball. Scanlon reached on an error, and Burgenske reached on an infield single to load the bases. Jordahl then came

through with a two-run single to center. Verona loaded the bases in the seventh, but Langley struck out Jordahl to end the threat. “His curveball was working good, and his fastball plays way up because of his curveball,” Jordahl said of Langley. “You have to kind of grind out at-bats.” Verona turned its second double play in the eighth, and Brandt made a leaping catch on Langley’s line drive in the ninth to end the game. Verona will play at Middleton in the Night League playoffs tonight.

Futsal: Aman-Lavicky among 5,000 who competed for spots Continued from page 1 Aman-Lavicky said. “The atmosphere was amazing. People went crazy when someone scored.” Aman-Lavicky and her teammates also visited local futsal and soccer clubs on days they did not play. “Going into it, I didn’t know any of my teammates, but I made some amazing new friends,” AmanLavicky said. “Playing where the Argentine national team trains and plays was really cool, too.” More than 5,000 girls and boys tried out for 12 spots in six age groups, but AmanLavicky beat the odds and was selected to the 2004 U.S. Youth National team. Every state has its own tryouts for the national
futsal teams, but due to low numbers in Wisconsin, Aman-Lavicky went straight to Kansas City for the national tryout on June 30. “I was definitely not expecting to be selected,” she said. “I didn’t even hear about it until a month before my tryout.”

Renovations: Study shows AC helps student learning Continued from page 1 were the major renovation work around the district this year. Next summer is expected to be busier, with extra time built in to allow for classroom remodeling and building moves as the new high school opens and other schools shift. The air conditioning could have an effect on student performance, according to a working paper issued in May 2018 by the National Bureau of Economic Research. Four researchers showed “the first evidence that cumulative heat exposure inhibits cognitive skill development and that school air conditioning can mitigate this effect,” according to the paper’s summary. Using student scores on the PSAT, a high school standardized test, they showed that “hotter
school days in the year prior to the test reduce learning, with extreme heat being particularly damaging” for low income and minority students. “New data providing the first measures of school-level air conditioning penetration across the U.S. suggest such infrastructure almost entirely offsets these effects,” the summary states. “Without air conditioning, each 1 (degree Fahrenheit) increase in school year temperature reduces the amount learned that year by 1%.” Next year’s planned renovations include adding classroom sinks and toilets for some rooms at Badger Ridge, which will become Sugar Creek Elementary School in fall 2020. Rooms will also be renovated to become art, music, makerspace and large-group instruction rooms.
Expected work on the K-Wing includes getting a secure entrance, classroom modifications, restroom renovations and some classroom sinks. That building will be home to the New Century School and Verona Area International School charters. The current high school building, which Badger Ridge and Core Knowledge Charter School will move into, is set to get an additional secure entrance, some classroom remodeling and renovations to add an elementary library and cafeteria.

Gum recession affects persons of all ages. It may be caused by clenching and grinding your teeth, crooked or misaligned teeth, aggressive brushing, tobacco use, or gum disease. When gum recession occurs, the root structure of your tooth becomes exposed and may be sensitive. Tooth decay may occur along the gum line and damage to tooth roots may occur.
