Verona Senior Center
Seeing the job through
Retiring senior center director led Veronas department
through technology, infrastructure changes
SCOTT DE LARUELLE
Unied Newspaper Group
Her pl ace secured i n
Veronas community his-
tory for helping forge a
new tradition of caring for
seniors, Diane Lanaville
took some time Monday to
celebrate.
The long-time Verona
Seni or Cent er di r ect or
enjoyed a reception held in
her honor among more than
70 friends, neighbors and
colleagues, as she retires
this month from leading the
center for two decades. It
has been 20 years of sweep-
ing changes for how seniors
are cared for in the area,
and Lanaville has been at
the center of it, both locally
and around the state and
nation.
I t s j u s t b e e n a n
enormous privilege to be
here for 20 years, she
said. It sounds cliched,
but Im doing work I love
and having the support of
the city to do it in the way I
think it should be done and
being able to hire a staff
that is second to none.
A longtime member of
the Wisconsin Association
of Senior Centers Standards
a n d A c c r e d i t a t i o n
Committee, she regularly
served as a site reviewer
f o r c e n t e r s s e e k i n g
accreditation. Lanaville
was also the associations
r epr es ent at i ve on t he
Delegate Council of the
National Institute of Senior
Centers, regularly attending
Hill Days in Washington
D.C., to meet with elected
of f i ci al s t o pr omot e a
l egi sl at i ve agenda f or
seniors.
Closer to home, she pre-
sided over the creation of
a new, vibrant senior cen-
ter more than a decade ago,
along with its continued
evolution, as well as the con-
tinued development of the
department that runs it.
Weve been abl e t o
really create a community
service we think makes
Verona a great place for
aging and, consequentially,
for families, because you
never have to leave the
city, Lanaville said. Its
really been very fun to be
part of the process of the
faci l i t y movi ng from a
really small commission
run on its own to be part of
City of Verona.
Tireless advocate
The creation of a senior
center 12 years ago was a
lightning bolt, Lanaville
said, coming on the heels
of things happening around
the state and nation.
It came together pretty
quickly, she said. It was a
matter of knowing what we
needed.
Wh i l e Ve r o n a h a s
developed a reputation for
being a young community,
Lanaville said, it also has a
large aging population that
needs continued services,
now and in the future.
Aging is changing in
that the technology has
preceded the sociology,
she said. We now have
the skills to keep people
funct i oni ng at a fai rl y
high level for a very long
period of time, but our
communities werent meant
t o have t hat many ol d
2014 stories
Politics,
planning
and growth
Familiar themes
with a new twist:
our first mayoral
race in 8 years
T h e d r a m a a n d
intrigue surrounding the
changes in Veronas city
government do not appear
to be abating, and in 2014,
things could get even more
complicated.
At least one political
newcomer has declared
himself a candidate for
mayor, and two former
alders are looking at getting
back their old seats. There
could be other races, as
well, though we wont
know until next week.
Veronas unprecedented
four-person challenge and
subsequent ouster of half
the Common Councils
incumbents in 2013 wasnt
completely coincidental.
The backlash after the 2010
Republ i can- domi nat ed
el ect i ons changed t he
pol i t i cal l andscape i n
Wisconsin and inspired
candidates all over Dane
County. And undoubtedly,
some politically-connected
people at the county and
state level encouraged
these candidates.
But not everything thats
been a source of discord
about the current Verona
Weve been able
to really create a
community service
we think makes
Verona a great
place for aging and,
consequentially, for
families, because you
never have to leave
the city.

Verona athletic training
facility expands
A Verona athletic train-
ing company recently dou-
bled the size of its training
facility in an effort to offer
more extensive program-
ming.
Spor t s Advant EDGE,
located at 403 Venture Ct.
#2 in Verona, opened this
past summer with a 2,700
square foot space, with
Astroturf and a weight-
lifting room, but recently
expanded to 5,000 square
feet with new field turf and
increased weight equip-
ment.
F o r me r Un i v e r s i t y
of Wi sconsi n- Madi son
strength coordinator Brian
Bott, who runs the train-
ing facility, said the expan-
sion gives the company and
those in the community
more options for training,
including having baseball
teams practice there in the
winter with the larger turf
space.
They offer training for
any ages, including profes-
sional athletes Bott worked
with while at UW, but offer
many programs for t he
younger population begin-
ning around third or fourth
grade.
I wanted to also give
back to the state a little
more, Bott said of his
deci si on t o l eave UW.
When you see kids come
in as 18 or 19 year olds
and they cant touch their
toes, they cant do a squat
t hat s fundament al l y
wrong. I want to make sure
that were teaching kids
at a young age to do these
things correctly.
The facility will host an
open house Jan. 5 from 1-5
p.m. to show off its new
additions.
The second winter ses-
sion of classes begin Jan.
12. For more information,

Six injured in Town of Springdale crashes
Two recent crashes in the
Town of Springdale left six
people with injuries ranging
from minor to significant.
The f i r s t cr as h, on
Wednesday, Dec. 25, hap-
pened when a 46-year-old
woman driving eastbound on
Hwy. G at around 2:10 p.m.
lost control and crossed the
centerline.
The car hit a westbound
vehicle, driven by a 57-year-
old Verona woman, head on.
The driver of the westbound
vehicle did not sustain any
injuries, according to a Dane
County Sheriffs Office
press release, but her three
passengers all suffered non-
life threatening injuries and
were taken to UW Hospital.
The driver of the east-
bound car and her 42-year-
old passenger were both tak-
en to UW Hospital. The pas-
senger suffered significant
injuries, the press release
said.
The driver has since been
released and taken to Dane
County Jail on a charge of
Operating While Intoxicated
Causing Injury.
The second crash occurred
Friday, Dec. 27, when a
60-year-old man driving a
pickup truck with a utility
trailer southbound on Spring
Rose Road attempted to
cross the Hwy. 18/151 inter-
section.
He pulled into the path of
an SUV traveling eastbound,
with the sheriffs office
responding around 12:08
p.m., a DCSO press release
said.
The pickup truck driver
had to be extricated, and was
transported to a local hospital
with minor injuries, while
the SUV driver was not hurt,
the release said.
Road rage leads to arrest by DCSO
Verona police and Dane
County Sheriffs deputies
arrested a Middleton man for
an alleged road rage incident
last week in the Town of
Springdale.
Accordi ng t o a news
release from the Dane Coun-
ty Sheriffs Office:
A person called police
around 4:15 p.m. Friday,
Dec. 27, after seeing the
driver of a black Subaru
brandish a handgun while
driving along Hwy. 18/151.
The Subaru was tailgat-
ing and swerving toward the
vehicle (the victim) was in,
according to the report. At
one point during the inci-
dent, the driver of the Subaru
pulled along the passenger
side of her vehicle and point-
ed a handgun directly at (the
victim).
Police responded to the
incident within one minute,
initiated a high-risk traffic
stop and searched the vehi-
cle. Police found a .40 cali-
ber handgun.
The driver of the Subaru
25-year-old Nathan M. Pike
was arrested for endanger-
ing safety, carrying a con-
cealed weapon and disorder-
ly conduct.
Pike is currently being
held in the Dane County Jail,
though no charges have been
filed as of Mondays press
deadline according to online
court records.

City of Verona
Pub, pizza ask for permits
JIM FEROLIE
Verona Press editor
The citys Plan Commis-
sion will hold public hear-
ings Monday for a pair of
restaurants in the same
building off East Verona
Avenue.
Little Caesars Pizza and
Brew Bros. Restaurant plan
to occupy adjoining suites
in the new building at 611
Hometown Circle, in the
outlots in front of the Farm
and Fleet.
Little Caesars was the
restaurant that was in mind
when the developer of the
8,000-square-foot build-
ing got approval to build
a drive-through lane on
its east side. Brew Bros.
announced its plans last
month, expanding from its
original location in Weston
to both Verona and Madi-
sons Junction Road this
spring.
Neither location is near
residential property and
both are along a main road
in the city, so the approval
process isnt likely to be
complicated. Within a few
hundred feet are a 24-hour
McDonalds, a high-traffic
Farm and Fleet, a hotel,
two stoplights, a Dairy
Queen and a baseball field.
Little Caesars is a well-
known national franchise,
but it will be the compa-
nys first drive-through in
Dane County. Pizza Hut
operates a similar drive-
through a few miles away
on Maple Grove Road.
Brew Bros. identifies
itself as a family-oriented
pub, a co-owner told the
Verona Press, and will
have 48 beers on tap and
specialize in hamburgers
priced at $5 to $7.
The l ocat i on al so i s
expected to accommodate
an Orange Leaf Yogurt and
a U.S. Cellular franchise.

A Mallorcan holiday
greeting for any occasion
Molts danys, I said from

the door of the cafe before
stepping out into the humid
winter chill. All of the patrons
and wait staff echoed the phrase
back at me, some with a fond
wave goodbye and others with-
out even glancing up from the
newspaper.
Many years. I average this
phrase a handful of times each
month, but it becomes a true
reflex dur-
ing the final
few weeks of
holiday-heavy
December.
Walking
into the post
office, leaving
a restaurant,
passing near
someone on the
street, respond-
ing as someone else leaves the
post office. In Mallorca, many
years is the universal greeting
and goodbye for any holiday
and is meant to be used liber-
ally.
The occasions to say it are
many. Easter, New Years Eve
and January first, Christmas Eve
and Christmas Day. The Three
Magic Kings Day, town festi-
vals, birthdays, anniversaries.
And dont forget to keep track
of Saint Days theres a dif-
ferent one for every day of the
year and you dont want to for-
get to wish every Francesc and
Francesca molts danys on Saint
Francis day. Anything thats
recognized as a celebration is
fair game.
Considering how we wish
each other well in different
languages can reveal cultural
mentalities so basic that we may
not even notice them at first. In
English-speaking countries, we
focus in. We wish a happy or
merry day with the emphasis on
the here-and-now, the holiday
happening before our eyes. In
Mallorca, where families have
rooted into one town for genera-
tions, the people take a more
long-term approach; may you
have many years of celebra-
tion. May the joy last and repeat
itself no matter the occasion.
Thats not to say that a catch-
all phrase for any celebration
means that holidays are generic
in Mallorca. Spain has a long
Catholic history that has shaped
its holidays into colorful and
complicated events. Christ-
mas traditions in particular
are downright biblical -- Saint
Nick was not present at the
birth of Jesus, so he doesnt
have enough street credit to be
portrayed as the Christmas gift-
bringer. Instead, the three wise
men (the three magic kings)
who brought Jesus their famous
luxuries of gold, frankincense
and myrrh now return each year
to distribute Christmas cheer.
And the wise men dont just
sneak in through the chimney.
Baltazar, Malchor and Gaspar
parade through the streets on
horseback with their kingly reti-
nues on Jan. 6 to hand-deliver
gifts to children at each home.
The tradition is organized and
maintained by the town hall and
all the participating parents in
the village. Kids believe ada-
mantly in the authenticity of the
three wise men because its hard
to say, its really your parents
when regal Baltazar dismounts
his horse outside your house,
wishes you molts danys and
gives you the Nintendo 3DS XL
you were hoping for. When the
wise men finally ride back to
the east, theyve made every kid
feel like a prince or princess for
one night.
Despite the pomp and cir-
cumstance of some Christmas
traditions, the people of east-
ern Spain have still managed
to inject their salt-of-the-earth
humor into the celebrations. In
fact, Catalans can be downright
scatological. In Barcelona, chil-
dren spend days feeding a tree
trunk a traditional holiday nou-
gat called turrn until the trunk
is full. Then, the children sing
a song and hit the trunk with a
stick, -la-piata, and it poops
gifts.
Most families also spend a
lot of time creating a big nativ-
ity scene in their homes full of
heirloom figurines and minia-
ture landscaping. And some-
where amid the tiny animals,
houses, trees and rivers with
real flowing water, Catalans
will place a figurine of a man
in the act of pooping. Spotting
the caganer always elicits a few
laughs, but more importantly, it
serves as a reminder that even at
the birth of Jesus, humanity was
still, well, human. Simple.
And so wishing well to others
in Mallorca is also as simple as
can be no matter the occasion.
Many years. Many years to
enjoy not only this holiday, but
the next, and all the deep roots
that have grown since holidays
past.
Molts danys from Mallorca
this holiday season, into 2014
and well beyond.

Letters to the editor
The city council is indeed functional
Theres no doubt Veronas new
political climate should be 2013s
top local story. However, I take
exception with the Verona Presss
characterization of the City Coun-
cil: Some progress was made
toward cooperation, but many
issues left the council as divided
and dysfunctional as state and
national legislative branches
Having worked in the U.S. Sen-
ate during debates about wars,
health care, and Supreme Court
nomi nat i ons, and gi ven t hat
Republicans shut down the federal
government over disagreements
about health coverage, I can con-
fidently say were not as divided
or dysfunctional as Congress.
Given that members of the Council
havent fled to Illinois and havent
been recalled, I can confidently say
were not as divided or dysfunc-
tional as the Legislature.
In recent months, there were two
major policy issues that deeply
divided this council: the firefight-
er hiring process, and a budget
amendment about library staff-
ing. Debate on important issues
is healthy and should be expect-
ed. Its refreshing that voters are
actively engaged in the process.
Thats what representative democ-
racy should be about.
Much progress was made in
2013. This council had construc-
tive and healthy debates on devel-
opmentVeronas biggest chal-
lenge and greatest opportunity as
Wisconsins fastest growing city.
Weve approved many good devel-
opments with no division, includ-
ing: Epics food service building;
Epics Campus 4; the Velocity
development that includes a new
restaurant; a new hotel that will
bring room tax dollars and other
economic impacts that we were
losing to other communities; Phase
5 of the Scenic Ridge development;
and new senior housing and market
apartments at Prairie Oaks. This
council has also approved a plan to
relocate a U.S. Cellular tower, pro-
gressed towards a new fire station,
and helped the new brewery.
Weve listened to neighbors
input and taken their concerns into
account, and weve asked devel-
opers to stick to the development
standards that have made Verona
great. We even strengthened those
standards when the Finance Com-
mittee, then the Plan Commis-
sion and then the City Council all
unanimously passed ordinances to
require new developments to pay
city fees and taxes before receiving
assistance.
This council also purchased
equipment to ensure the integrity
and efficiency of elections, new
chairs for the senior center, and
new stop signs that improve safety.
This council approved a new con-
tract for our police officers, and
added a police lieutenant to help
manage the growing department
and keep our community safe. We
compromised on adding funds
for an additional part-time library
assistant. We added an additional
equipment operator for the Public
Works Department to help keep
our streets clear and safe. We also
increased senior center staff time.
We are a legislative body that
is functional, representative, and
responsibly managing the citys
affairs. We owe much thanks to
the citys excellent staff, who have
been professional, patient, and
helpful.
I challenge Congress and the
State Legislature to be as function-
al as this City Council. I also chal-
lenge us to continue our responsi-
ble governing in the New Year in a
civil and positive manner to add to
2013s progress.

School We Learn From Our Mistakes
We hear the advice to learn from our mistakes so often that
it almost seems a clich, but perhaps we need to push this
advice a bit further. Isnt it the case, after all, that we learn
most when we make mistakes? We send children to school
for twelve long years, expecting they will make plenty of
mistakes, but knowing they will learn to read and write and
do math and science better by continually improving on their
mistakes. In medicine nowadays, common mistakes are
taught in medical schools, so that new doctors and nurses
might avoid them. In some areas, mistakes are sought after
as portals of discovery.
In jazz music, the so-called blue note or what seems a
clear mistake, is often the start of an inspired improvisation.
Poets too seek the blue note in language, the place where
a mistake in usage or grammar leads to some insight or a
nice turn of phrase. A genius is not necessarily someone
who makes fewer mistakes, but rather someone whose mis-
takes are often productive or beautiful. So, we should learn
from our mistakes, but perhaps more importantly, risk mak-
ing mistakes in order that we might grow and learn.

wicked stumble in times of calamity.

JEREMY JONES
Sports Editor
Verona boys hockey (9-0-
2 overall) got through one
of its toughest weeks to date
unscathed over the holidays.
Verona 5, Middleton 1
The Wildcats showed
their depth in a 5-1 win over
Big Eight Conference rival
Middleton on Saturday, Dec.
21, inside the Eagles Nest Ice
Arena.
Verona saw five differ-
ent players score goals as the
team improved to 7-0-0 and
remained the lone undefeated
team in the Big Eight Confer-
ence.
Senior forward Brogan
Bakers short-handed goal 11
minutes into the second peri-
od broke a 1-1 tie and proved
to be the game-winner.
Grant Smith added an
even-strength goal close
to five minutes later, while
sophomore Josh Novotny and
Zach Ritter chipped in third
period goals.
Smith recorded two assists
to go along with his goal,
while Brodie Roehrig also
assisted on a pair of Verona
goals.
The loss dropped Middle-
ton to 5-4-1 overall (4-1-1
conference).
Zach Lanza power-play
goal just over three minutes
into the first period gave the
Wildcats an early lead before
Casey Harper pulled the Car-
dinals even just under five-
and-a-half minutes into the
second period.
Wi l dcat s sophomore
goaltender Alex Jones was
solid the rest of the evening,
stopping nine of 10 shots
on goal. Middletons Tony
Wuesthofen faced 28 shots in
the loss.

ly ever since losing last years

Junior Liam Schmitt and
senior captain Charlie Parker
each scored in the second
period Thursday as the Wild-
cats ended in a 2-2 tie.
Jones, who allowed six
goals against Eau Claire in
last years state title game,
stopped 28 of 30 shots this
time around. Nick Schreiter
turned aside 39 shots for the
Old Abes.
Charley Graaskamp set up
a first period power-play goal
to give the Old Abes a 1-0
late in the first period and his

Roehri g, assi st ed by
Schmitt, answered a Roches-

in the third period Friday to
help the Wildcats finish in a

nament, with the team jump-
ing out to a two goal, first-

The Middleton Metro Lynx girls hockey
co-op remained in contention for its first
Badger Conference title, defeating the rival
MSO Icebergs 2-1 over the holiday break.
Amanda Holmen had a hand in both
Metro Lynx scores Saturday, recording a
goal and an assist.
However, it was fellow Verona Area
High School teammate McKenzie Imhoff
that iced the game, scoring with just under
four minutes remaining in the second peri-
od inside the Madison Ice Arena.
Stoughtons Casey Marsh netted the Ice-
bergs lone goal six minutes after Holmen
slid a rebound past Kenzie Torpy, who had
40 saves in the loss.
Lynx senior goaltender Hunter Kurbel
faced half the number of shots on goal as
Torpy, making 20 of 21 saves.
By the eighth period of a three-game
stretch, all 11 skaters for the Icebergs were
noticeably gassed against the host Metro
Lynx, taking several penalties in a decisive
second period.

The Metro Lynx opened the Culvers
Cup with a 3-2 loss against the Superior
Spartans on Friday. Middleton and the
Stevens Point/Wisconsin Rapids co-op

over the Baraboo Badger Thunder co-op to
close out the tournament.

Senior captain Erik Wick-
strom didnt waste any time
in setting the bar for the
Verona/Mount Horeb boys
swimming team Saturday at
the Highlander Invitational
in Mequon.
Swimming in the first
event, Wickstrom took third
overall in the 400-yard indi-
vidual medley with a time
of 4 minutes, 31.52 seconds.
It would be the Wildcats
top finish for rest of the
meet, however.
Verona, ranked ninth on
the Wisconsin Interscho-
lastic Swim Coaches Asso-
ciation Division 1 state poll,
finished seventh overall
with 172 points.
Two teams from Illinois
in Libertyville (382) and
Lake Forest (361) secured
top honors, while Arrow-
head, ranked No. 2 in Wis-
consin, rounded out the top
three with 343 points.
This meet was differ-
ent than many of our other
meets ... in addition to the
regular high school events,
there are longer events that
college swimmers compete
in, Wildcats head coach
Bill Wuerger said.
Cullen Meurer had the
most exciting race of the
day in the 1000 free.
Trailing Rob Bretl of
Marquette for the first 39
lengths, Meurer made up
a body length on the last
25 meters and touched out
Bretl by .05 seconds to win
his heat. Meurer finished
ninth overall.
Mount Horebs Jimmy
Conway dropped 14 sec-
onds from last year in the
200 fly, and also had a sea-
son-best time in the 100 fly.
Will McMillan and Bryce
Hoppe also both had life-
time bests in the 100 breast-
stroke, while Magnus Kit-
tleson added a lifetime best
in the 100 free.
Adam Francis swam to a
final lifetime best relay split
while anchoring the 200
freestyle B relay.

Rife & Scope
council was about political
points of view. Much of
what caused a ruckus was
simply the new groups
desire to make changes
quickly.
That insistence rankled
veteran alders, who are used
to seeing new alders watch
and listen for a year before
asserting themselves. And
the veterans insistence
on keeping tradition and
maintaining what they saw
as existing momentum upset
members of the new group,
who believed their election
represented a political shift
among constituents, if not a
mandate.
The gusto that carried
four people to last years
sweep might have taken
some people by surprise, but
nobody will be able to make
that claim this year. So if
Chad Kemp is able to win the
mayoral race and Ald. Mike
Bare, who was appointed in
June, holds off a challenge
from Evan Touchett, it will
signal the voters desire to
make changes, and it will
lend credence to the claims
of the newer group of alders.
If Mayor Jon Hochkammer
holds off his challenger and
Touchett regains his District
4 seat, it would be a clear sign
that voters arent looking for
changes as quickly as some
have suggested.
Kemp, who told the Vero-
na Press he was inspired
by last years elections, held
his first fundraiser in mid-
December, and has been crit-
ical of the citys handling of
the fire department change-
over and said the city needs
a stronger vision from its top
elected office. Hochkam-
mer officially announced his
re-election bid a week later,
with his news release touting
the citys accomplishments
during his time both as may-
or and District 1 alder before
that and his ability to work
with both sides of the politi-
cal spectrum.
Also running is former
District 1 alder Jack Linder,
who vacated his seat in 2008
when he inadvertently moved
a block outside the district
and was unable to regain a
seat when he challenged Ald.
Scott Manley the following
year in District 2. Manley has
become an outspoken fiscal
hawk who battled with the
new group over the budget in
November.
Manley wont be running
for re-election this time,
however, having submitted
his declaration of non-
candidacy on last Fridays
deadline.
Voting turnout could also
be revealing. Last years
winners averaged just under
300 votes apiece, or about
16 percent of their districts
electorate. But Touchett
got more than 600 votes (in
a disproportionately large
district) when he won a race
for an open seat in 2011,
and Hochkammer earned
nearly 22 percent of eligible
votes (58 percent of those
cast) when he defeated
Bob Kasieta for the open
mayoral seat in 2006, his last
contested election.
Ci t y i ssues are a bi t
different now. Then, the
city was feuding with the
t own over annexat i on
whi l e s i mul t a ne ous l y
exploring a merger, and it
was desperately seeking to
expand its industrial and
commercial tax base while
developers were beating
down the doors to put big
box stores here.
Now, the council will have
to deal with the dwindling
supply of housing in Verona,
the continuing saga of the
fire department which can
never seem to get more than
a year or two without some
sort of controversy and
work together on solutions
for the future of downtown,
none of whi ch wi l l be
satisfying without some
difficult choices.
And at the end of the year,
theyll have to come up with
agreements on spending for
the 2015 budget, which will
be the last one before Epics
Campus 1 and 2 come out of
the TIF district and back onto
the general fund tax rolls.
Just as significantly, how-
ever, that budget will carry
a windfall of its own, the full
valuation of the Deep Space
auditorium, which could be
as big as everything in the
TIF district Veronans have
been waiting for so many
years to close.
So the question will not
only be which way do voters
go with the April election,
but also how well will city
leaders accept the situation
and personnel on the council,
whatever it may be?
VASD expansion,
possible referendum
Over the past few years,
the Verona Area School
District has seen triple-fig-
ure increases in enrollment.
District officials expect
that trend to continue into
the 2014-15 year, and that
creates a space problem
for the district, with some
schools already over capac-
ity (based on 2006 capacity
estimates).
For t hat r eason, t he
Verona Area School Board
began talks of land pur-
chases, new schools and
possible referenda just as
2013 was coming to an end.
Di scussi ons ar e j ust
beginning, but expect plen-
ty of the boards time in
2014 to be devoted to the
issue and all of the topics
that come with it, including
possible rezoning.
The board first discussed
it in detail at a special Sat-
urday meeting in Decem-
ber, where district busi-
ness director Chris Murphy
explained the financials
of possi bl e expansi on.
He noted that debt from
schools built in the 1990s
is dropping off the budget,
suggesting now would be a
perfect time to expand.
The district asked PMA
Securities Inc. to project
the changes in the districts
tax levy and mill rate over
the next five years, under
the assumption it would
purchase two pieces of land
and build two new school
buildings.
The fi rst referendum,
projected to come in 2014,
was projected for $16.5
million, while a second,
$17.5 million referendum
was projected for 2018.
Murphy caut i oned t hat
the numbers and timing of
those referenda were sim-
ply estimates, and are unre-
lated to either of the prop-
erties under consideration.
Factoring in those refer-
enda, PMA projected the
districts mill rate to remain
at $12.29 for 2014-15 after
a l arge drop brought i t
to that level for the cur-
rent school year. In the
following years, it would
rise to $12.54 in 2015-16
before dropping drastically
to $11.29 in 2016-17 as
Epics TIF district closes.
While some members of
the school board expressed
uncertainty at how the pub-
lic would respond to a ref-
erendum, especially when
the effects of being over
capacity are not necessarily
being felt yet, most seemed
open to the possibility and
discussion.
Wh i l e mu c h c o u l d
change in enrollment fig-
ur es i n comi ng year s
changi ng f ut ur e pl ans,
expect further discussion,
and possibly even a refer-
endum, on school expan-
sion in Verona in 2014.
Downtown update
Dont expect any major
changes downt own yet .
But by the end of 2014, the
city should have a thorough
plan for the areas future.

the community. The idea is
a long-range look at creating
a vibrant community area by
improving traffic flow and
redeveloping some under-
used properties.
Its been in the works
for almost a year, and the
public will have a few more
chances yet to weigh in as
it continues to take shape.
MSA Professional Services
has sought i nput from
residents, business owners
and the school system in a
variety of forms at public
forums, in brainstorming
sessions, in focus groups and
in surveys.
The resulting draft called
for an expansion of the
current four-way, signal-
controlled intersection at
Verona Avenue and Main
Street, buildings as tall as
four stories at gateway
points and a redesigned
core with common parking
areas. About 50 people saw
drawings and diagrams from
that draft at a public forum
this fall.
Meanwhile, the Verona
Area Chamber of Commerce
released its own report,
calling for changes to traffic
flow outside the downtown
area in order to reduce
pressure at the Four Corners
intersection.
An advisory committee,
which included chamber
represent at i ves, gave a
thumbs-up to the MSA draft
in early December. The
next phase will be a public
hearing and review by the
citys planning commission
possibly in January or
February of this year.
Be c a u s e t h e p l a n
would amend the citys
comprehensive plan, the
Common Council will have
to sign off on the document,
as well.
That leaves plenty of
points where the plan could
change, but whats being
proposed would include
several changes that would
i nvol ve i mport ant ci t y
decisions.
MSAs plan for Four
Corners would have a left-
turn lane, one through lane
and one shared right-turn/
through traffic lane in each
direction.
Within the core area
roughly a few blocks in
each direction from there
some properties would
be up for redevelopment,
with new buildings being
built between two and three
stories high. It would call
for a mixture of residential,
commercial and greenspace
with some restricted parking
and uniform streetscaping.
Further out, the gateway
areas outside the core would
have buildings as tall as
four stories and entryways
that would clue visitors
that theyre entering the
downtown area.
The long-term switch to
a larger intersection likely
wont happen for more than
a decade, but short term
traffic and parking solutions,
such as time-of-day parking
restrictions, could happen in
the next few years.
Fire district decision
Wi t hi n t he next f ew
months, a legal decision
is expected to determine
whether the city can hire
officers from outside the
current union.
One way or another, that
should put an end to years of
on-and-off controversy in the
fire department, which has
grown from an all-volunteer
operation shared by three
municipalities about a decade
ago to a city department
that is planned to soon have
a 24/7 professional crew
supplemented by interns and
volunteers.
The legal entanglement
started in April, when the
City and Town of Verona
made plans to dissolve the
Verona Fire District and turn
over assets to the city.
Wi t hi n t wo mont hs ,
the citys Police and Fire
Co mmi s s i o n d e c i d e d
to hire the current chief
without a search but hold
an open hi ri ng process
for firefighters. Later in
the summer, the Common
Council twice delayed a vote
on the funds for that hiring
process, then voted against
it and finally overturned that
vote.
In late November the
firefighters union, Local
311, filed suit against the
ci t y, argui ng i t shoul d
continue to be the sole
representative of the five full-
time firefighters. Less than a
month later, Dane County
Circuit Court judge Judge
Peter C. Anderson issued
a temporary restraining
order in favor of Local 311,
barring the city from laying
off any Verona Fire District
employees.
That decision has put
on hold plans to have the
city run the fire department
as was approved in the
dissolution agreement signed
by the city and town earlier
last year.
The city contends that it is
a new entity and should be
able to hire new employees.
The union says the city is
merely continuing its role
in operating the district
and should be bound to the
current collective bargaining
agreement that was approved
by the district.
A motion to dismiss the
lawsuit was filed by the city
on Dec. 20; the union has
until Jan. 3 to respond; and
the city will have another
five days to reply before a
hearing on Jan. 17.
If the motion to dismiss is
denied by Judge Anderson,
a ruling on a temporary
injunction will be held Feb.
19.
Epic expansion
Sure, the explosive growth
of Dane Countys largest
employer is predictable
to a certain extent, but the
decisions are no longer as
automatic for the city as they
once were.
The nearly billion-dollar
campus sits on more than
800 acres owned by the
company, and yet i t i s
running out of room to grow.
A year ago at this time,
company representatives
were working to soothe
t he concer ns of some
neighbors so Epic could
expand eastward, into an
area previously planned
for houses. They were also
negotiating with a power
company to connect their
10-megawatt wind power
farm and awaiting the citys
report on what it would have
to do to handle traffic as
the company grew to 8,000
employees and beyond.
The thing is, Epic will
probably hit that number
within a year or so. And
while it can accommodate
t hat number wi t h t he
approved traffic plans and
the two new campuses it is
working on (one approved,
the other in the design stage),
it clearly has to be thinking
farther out.
The city likely wont see
any plans for Campus 6
in 2014, but while Epics
archi t ect s and pl anners
put t hei r focus on t he
finishing details of the
Wizards Campus (4) and
bring the design for the
Authors Campus (5) for
city approval, the company
will undoubtedly be thinking
about it. And it will have
some interesting decisions to
make regarding where to put
it.
There clearly isnt enough
room to build a full campus
the same size as the others
near the under-construction
Kings Cross Station food
service building, and there
might not be enough room
closer to Nine Mound Road,
which is being rebuilt and
rerouted to accommodate the
massive load of traffic in the
mornings and evenings.
Wi t h envi r onment al
cor r i dor s compl i cat i ng
things, that could mean
heading northwest, toward
its industrial facilities (a
well, reservoir, electrical
substation and solar field).
And that could mean adding
to the companys urban
service area, which could be
a time-consuming process.
But its hard to imagine
another campus not being
needed unless its growth
suddenly slows this year.
In any case, Verona can
cert ai nl y l ook forward
this year to seeing the
construction of the Kings
Cross Station food service
building, the beginnings
of the Harry Potter-esque
Wizards Campus and the
completion of the 11,000-
seat cave-themed Deep Space
auditorium, which was used
for the annual Users Group
Meetings in September but
was still under construction in
many places.
Its not clear when plans
for the Authors Campus will
be submitted, but planning
director Adam Sayre said he
wouldnt be surprised if they
were submitted this year.
Emerald ash borer
Expect to start seeing the
effect of the emerald ash
borer around Verona this
year.
The inevitable finally
happened in late 2013, when
the insect, a beetle that kills
ash trees, was officially
detected in Dane County.
Local muni ci pal i t i es,
i ncl udi ng Ver ona, had
expected it to come sooner or
later, and had been preparing
for it for years.
Although Verona parks
and urban forestry director
Da v e Wa l k e r c a l l e d
t he di scovery a l i t t l e
disappointing when it was
found in late November, he
also said the city had already
developed a plan to remove
almost all of the 500 or so
ash trees on public land.
The remaining couple
dozen highest-value ashes
will be injected with a
chemical to keep the beetle
away, at a cost of around
$150 per tree.
Over the next four to five
years, and beginning as soon
as 2014, the city will have to
remove trees that the beetle
reaches and replace them
with new trees.
That could have a big
effect on the citys tree
landscape, though officials
already had taken steps to
reduce that, such as not
planting ash trees next to one
another.
For a private citizen with
an ash tree, or a bunch of
trees of unknown species,
Wal ker r ecommended
contacting city officials or
an arborist and discussing
options for removal, which
could cost between $200 and
$1,000, or injections to keep
the trees healthy if they have
avoided EAB to that point.

people in them.
Lanaville said in the past,
churches and other social
organizations took up roles
that today fall on senior cen-
ters.
People are active and
planning programs, but we
need more support, she said.
Senior centers are critical to
the community; for every-
body. Weve been helping
people stay vital and active.
A passion for making
sure senior centers are up
to par has been Lanavilles
career calling, as she works
as an accreditation advocate
at the state and national lev-
els. She has served as a state
committee chair and helped
create accreditation guide-
lines.
I feel we can raise the bar
for everybody by having a
higher level of professional-
ism, she said.
Lanavilles work on the
national level was very
exciting professionally, she
said, and was only possible
after a career spent working
hard in the field.
You cant do that when
youre starting your career,
she said. You have to do it
once youve established your
credibility.
While she calls her deci-
sion to retire bittersweet,
Lanaville said its the perfect
time to walk away and leave
the center in good hands, cit-
ing a medical issue.
There are things I have
not done, she said. There
were still contributions I
could make (but) I dont
have quite the energy.
Its a very, very high-
energy position, and Im
kind of running out of steam.
Weve had great support
from the (city) administra-
tion and the community. Its
been a good ride. Im really
excited to see the (centers)
next direction.
Building a program
Chris Nye, VSC program
director, said Lanaville has
been a fantastic advocate
for senior issues, both locally
and nationally.
She has built the Verona
Senior Center into a very pro-
fessional organization that
excels in providing services
for adults in Verona, he said.
Verona has been very for-
tunate to have someone like
Diane leading the way. She
was never afraid to take a
chance on ideas that others
might have shied away from.
Becky Losby, case man-
ager for the VSC, said
Lanavilles dedication set
the stage for what senior
services now look like in
Verona.
She truly is one of the
bi ggest advocat es Ive
worked with in the field,
she said. Her presence will
be missed.
At her retirement party,
Ald. Brad Stiner regaled the
crowd with an extended tale
of how she fought for the
facility, which the city built
for not a penny more than
$1 million in 2002 after
running it for several years
out of the basement of Sugar
Creek Apartments.
Stiner then broke out into a
song he wrote for her.
For mer mayor J ohn
Volker, whose administra-
tion hired Lanaville as a
part-time employee in 1993
before quickly realizing she
had plenty of work to do, got
her laughing as he added to
Stiners story, then had her
blushing as he sang her prais-
es in a more straightforward
way.
Shes raised the bar pretty
high for whoever will come
in and succeed her, he said.

Retiring Verona Senior Center director Diane Lanaville chats with well-wishers at the end of her retire-
ment party Monday. Several speakers discussed Lanavilles devotion and energy, and one, Ald. Brad
Stiner, even sang her a song he wrote.
She truly is one
of the biggest
advocates Ive
worked with in the
field. Her presence
