More than 40 teachers applied this year, and a board committee whittled down a list of finalists that was unanimously approved
by the full board Monday. About $10,000 of the Savanna Oaks grant will pay for software to track student progress and extensive training for a sixthgrade teacher who will oversee kids using the 180 new Google Chromebooks. The laptops cost about $500 each and are easy to use they boot up in eight

Students and parents were thrilled to be going home last Thursday (above, at Country View elementary) after all 10 Verona schools were put on a hard lockdown while the FBI and local authorities searched for a dangerous criminal in the area around Nesbitt Road.
In the 11 months since his company put on Hometown Days for the first time, Brad Zaugg has had a lot to think about. In addition to the immediate crisis of deciding whether to switch the annual festivals date to avoid a conflict with nearby Mount Horeb, hes had to re-evaluate the many elements of Hometown Days, from the fireworks to the parade and everything in between to determine if any should go away or get more attention. For the most part, Bravas second shot at Hometown Days which will

An FBI manhunt last Thursday sent Verona schools into an extended lockdown and prompted an apology from the superintendent. Now officials say theyve already taken steps to improve communication with parents in the future. A Chicago fugitive and homicide suspect, Paris Poe, 33, was arrested by Madison police on that citys east side around 7 p.m. last Thursday. But before that, a massive, daylong search for Poe by area police and The
FBI agents in Fitchburg and parts of Verona and Madison sent all 10 of the Verona Area School Districts schools into a hard lockdown, beginning at about 1:20 p.m. That meant all doors were locked, lights were turned off, kids were kept away from windows and no one was allowed to go in or out of the building. When the school day ended, students were allowed to leave with parents or guardians who showed photo identification. Buses werent allowed to pick up elementary school students until 3:45 p.m., followed by middle and high school students at 4:30 p.m., or about an hour later than normal. That led to some disarray at local schools. At the high school, traffic was backed up to Main Street as
parents waited to retrieve their children. At Country View Elementary, cars backed up down the block and some parents were seen carrying children in their arms and running back to their cars. In a May 3 letter to parents, superintendent Dean Gorrell said hed heard concerns from parents who didnt know what was going on. The district has about 5,000 students, but only 600 parents have signed up for the voluntary text message alerts and 1,650 for email alerts, Gorrell wrote. The district also posted five updates on its website between 12:45 p.m. and 3:29 p.m., but obviously, not every parent knew about the lockdown. I want to acknowledge that the

tournament, according to a schedule included in its application to the city. The commission, which had the power of final approval, had few comments or questions on the plans, which include a sports medicine facility sponsored by a $250,000 UW Health grant that provides 10 years of naming rights. The brick facility will accommodate an ambulance and provide a place for injured players to get attention from trainers, soak in an ice bath and warm up on bikes or elliptical trainers before returning, as well as allow referees (but not athletes) to shower after games. It will be in addition to the existing clubhouse/ concessions facility. The plan also features a 22-foot-tall press box, an 8-foot-by-12-foot LED scoreboard, a ticketing entry plaza, bleacher seating, a donor wall, paved walkways and some minor traffic-flow, landscaping and stormwater improvements. But of course, the star of the $3 million project that started in 2009 is the $800,000 synthetic championship field, which the project description says will be on par with the fields at Middleton High School and on the University of Wisconsin campus. The fenced-in field will substantially improve player safety and field playability conditions for championshiplevel soccer events, the project description said.

the beginning for Campus 4 and 5. The three items allowed the move of Northern Lights Road, the building of one of two 1,500-stall parking structures and the annexation of land for more geothermal well fields and a wind power substation. It also rezoned several plots of land to allow the construction of the Campus 5 buildings, though those would be subject to separate public hearings later, as will a second parking garage. The sequence of events and proposals bothered commissioner Jack Linder, a former District 1 alder who lives in Epics shadow and cast several no votes against the various pieces of project. The Westridge neighborhood resident said he had been hearing questions from neighbors, and he wondered why the location of buildings was not shown. He also questioned the rezoning of 38 acres of residential land from a residential developer and whether it could force the city to allow undesired developments if the sale were to fall through. When Linder asked about the right-of-way dedication for a new signalized intersection at Cross Country and Northern Lights roads since it might not be big enough for a roundabout Epic chief administrative officer Steve Dickmann assured the commission the company would provide whatever land was necessary. Nobody, however, voted against the annexation of 40 acres along Country View Road that will provide a place for another geothermal well field and an electrical substation to connect with its six-turbine wind power facility in the Town of Springfield. Commissioner Pat Lytle wondered why it had to be in the city to which Dickmann replied that having all its utilities in one jurisdiction greatly simplifies government applications and commissioner Jeff Horsfall stated that the rural agriculture zoning was weird, considering the power-producing use of the land.

WKCE
Less than half of Verona students tested proficient or better in reading under the states standardized exam last fall, while 57.8 percent of students reached that mark in math, according to results recently released by the state. School officials across Wisconsin had warned that student scores for this school years Wisconsin Knowledge and Concepts Examination, the states longtime standardized test, would fall compared to past years because the state is now applying a more rigorous method of determining student proficiency on the exam. That higher standard is meant to prepare school districts for a new, computer adaptive standardized test that all students will begin taking within two years. Just over 47 percent of Verona students who took the WKCE exam in November 2012 were either proficient or advanced in reading, compared to the 57.8 percent in math, according to results released in late April by the state Department of Public Instruction. By comparison, 86.1 percent of Verona students took the WKCE in November 2011 attained proficient or better in reading under the less stringent standard, while 82.8 percent reached that mark in math. Donna Behn, the districts director of instruction, said in past years the district sees a little bit of rise and falls in scores when it comes to WKCE results. Not so this year, when

scores varied quite a bit by grade level. The scores were just all over the place, she said. The gap between Veronas student performance based on economic status, also known as an achievement gap, was more than 36 percentage points in reading this year and more than 42 percentage points in math under the new standard, according to DPI. Nearly 56.5 percent of the non-economically disadvantaged students were proficient or better in reading in the 2012 test, compared with 20.2 percent for economically-disadvantaged students. In
math, it was 68.7 percent for non-disadvantaged students and 26.5 percent for disadvantaged students. As for the districts achievement gap based on ethnicity, 57.6 percent of Veronas white students were proficient or better in reading, compared to 19.7 percent of black students and 12 percent of Hispanic students. In math, 68.9 percent of white students tested proficient or better, compared with 22.2 percent of Hispanic students and 24.1 percent of black students. The proficiency standards for three other subjects tested by the WKCE language arts, science and social studies are unchanged. In those, 77.6 percent of Verona students were proficient or better in language arts, compared with 77.2 percent from November 2011. In science, scores dipped slightly, from 82.1 percent to 81.4 percent. In social studies, scores improved from 86.6 percent proficient to 87.9 percent in 2012. Students in Grades 4, 8 and 10 take tests in reading, math, social studies, language arts and science for the WKCE, which consists
of a series of multiple-choice tests. Students in Grades 3 and 5-7 take only the reading and math tests. Districts are already eyeing the new standardized test that is being developed by a consortium of states and that will replace the WKCE in the 2014-2015 school year. Both measures are part of Wisconsins waiver from the federal No Child Left Behind law. The more rigorous proficiency standards for the WKCE in the intervening time are meant to give school districts and the public a preview of higher expectations. Statewide, 35.3 percent of the students who took the test scored proficient or better in reading, while 47.1 percent did so in math.

However, many foods are now fortified with vitamin D, and supplements are readily available. These forms are highly effective, very safe, and have the added benefit that the amount of vitamin D intake can be monitored. Also, the amount of time in the sun needed to get adequate amounts of vitamin D is far less than the average person gets during a typical summer day. For many, including myself, being out in the sun is associated with a sense of general well-being and good health that cannot be overlooked. We tend to be more active and exercise more when the sun is shining, which is very important to living a healthy life. And of course, time spent outdoors in the summer months is often spent with family and friends, which can lead to better mood and improved quality of life. With the harmful effects of the sun, along with the benefits and unavoidable nature of being outside when the weather is nice, we are left to wonder how to approach sun exposure. So let me make the issue even more unclear for you: There is no safe level of sun exposure, and nobody quite knows how much is too much. Like most things that have both risks and benefits, we should partake, but in moderation. Be sensible, be safe, but dont let fear of the sun keep you from enjoying the beautiful days that surely lie ahead. Benjamin Scherschligt is a thirdyear resident at UW-Health Family Medicine in Verona.

What: Downtown plan and traffic study public meeting When: 7 p.m. Tuesday, May 14 Where: Verona Senior Center, 108 Paoli St. Info: ci.verona.wi.us the intersection and the downtown area in general. Those are a traffic signal, a roundabout and a pair of one-way streets. The plans steering committee which includes representatives of the citys business community reviewed the three options last month.
For years, city officials have pondered what to do with traffic downtown specifically the intersection of Main Street and Verona Avenue. Tuesday, theyll be asking for the publics opinions on the intersection for the second time in five years at the citys second downtown planning meeting. City staff and engineers from MSA Professional Services have come up with three options for
Each option would have some impact on some existing properties, but changes are necessary as traffic volume is projected to increase during the next 20 years. Each option comes with challenges, including limited existing right-of-way space, traffic flow and backup problems, as well as parking and access limitations to businesses. The signalized intersection would be similar to what is there now, but it would have two through lanes and one left turn lane in each direction. The roundabout likely would have two lanes going around it and would affect fewer properties further away from the intersection because less space would be needed for backed-up cars.
The paired-one way would use Main Street as the southbound street and Franklin Street as the northbound street. The Verona Press detailed each of the options in an April 28 story. MSA Professional Services project manager Kevin Ruhland, who was hired to guide the city through the planning process, said the steering committee and staff didnt have a preferred alternative and would like residents to comment on all the options at the meeting. We want to get feedback on all the alternatives, Ruhland told the Press. We want to hear what they like and dont like about all them. Ruhland said planners will
present maps of each option and will host a short presentation describing each intersection plan. Residents will be asked to fill out comment sheets and will be able to ask questions after the presentation. Anyone unable to attend or would like more information about the downtown study can contact Ruhland at 242-7779. Written comments regarding the downtown project can be mailed to Kevin Ruhland, MSA Professional Services, 2901 International Lane, Suite 300, Madison, WI 53704, or emailed to [email protected].

For those who have had a few too many after the show (or just want to take a different way home), Hometown Days will have transportation options. A courtesy bus will be available for most Verona neighborhoods outside of a roughly 1-mile radius, and the festival will also run a Safe Ride program, with cabs on alert. The courtesy bus, Zaugg said, didnt have a lot of riders last year, but he thinks many people simply werent used to it. Were going to keep doing it until people figure it out, he said. Despite a years experience running the show, Zaugg still suggests theres a lot of experimenting left to do and quite a bit left to learn. Were trying some different stuff, and well keep what works, he said. But the one thing hed never want to change is the overall community-oriented effort of the festival, which is a big effort from and a big benefit to several local nonprofit organizations. You could not do this if it wasnt for the huge effort of the volunteer groups, he said. Theyve got their parts all down perfectly.

Hans
Owner name: Doug and Katie Hensel Pet name: Hans Pets age: 4 What kind of pet: German Shepherd dog How long you have had your pet: We got him when he was 9 weeks old! What makes your pet special? Hans is the best dog a family could ask for. He is incredibly loving and playful - he is a running partner, a cuddle buddy, a family protector, and most importantly, our daughters best friend. He not only allows our 18-month-old daughter to crawl on him, hug and kiss him, and follow him around, but he licks her, plays fetch, and sleeps outside her room. Watching their relationship grow since she was born has been the sweetest thing. Hans has done German Schutzhund Training, which involves obedience, tracking, and protection work, and is very well-behaved and sociable with other animals and people of all ages! Funny or cute story about your pet? Hans likes to nap in the laundry room behind the dryer. Our daughter will follow him in there and sit down next to him. The other day I was watching them from the doorway and she hugged him, patted his back and goes Good Boy, Hansy! Then she gave him a kiss on his snout. He licked her face and I started crying!

Junior Adam Stiner won the discus at Tuesdays Verona triple double with this throw of 136 feet, 1 inch. The Wildcats finished with 61 1/2 points well behind first place Middleton, which had a team score of 90. Sun Prairie was a distant third with 34 1/2.

Despite persistent rain throughout the day, the Wildcats boys track team traveled to Madison Memorials Mansfield Stadium for the 45th annual Spartan Invite against 13 of the top teams in the state. Senior Matt Dietlin once again turned in Veronas top honor, finishing runner-up in the high jump with a high of 6 feet behind only Stevens Points Sean Dietlin VanHelden (6-2). Stevens Point won the meet with 140 1/2 points well ahead of Racine Park (92). The host Spartans and Madison West tied for third with 75 points, while Verona and Racine Horlick tied for sixth with 54.
Senior Caleb Baltes putts on the seventh hole Tuesday at Yahara Hills Golf Course. The Wildcats played Madison East and won 301-332. Baltes shot a 75. The win propelled Verona to a 9-0 Big Eight Conference dual record.

Toward the end of high jump tonight, it felt pretty bad, Dietlin said. Earlier in the meet he jumped a lifetime best 41-8 to take the triple jump. Adam Stiner added the discus title in 136-1, while Joe Pagura finished second in the shot put (45-5 1/2). Steven Harnett added the 110 high hurdles in 15.4. Ryan Nameth, who has been battling a injury this season, took the 3,200 in 9:56.9. Alex Anderson capped Veronas first-place finishes, winning the 800 in 1:58.3. Ben Feller (4:36.5) and Cameron Tindall (11.1) finished runner up in the 1,600 and 100, respectively.
Girls
Freshman Shelly Wing and the rest of the Verona girls soccer team could have given up Tuesday against sixthranked Oregon. Wing was reeling from an injury after a collision with Oregon senior goalie Brit Peckham, and the Wildcats found themselves down 1-0 with only three minutes left in regulation. Instead, Wing split the defense with a pass up the middle of the field to freshman Ellery Roark in the 78th minute, and Roark finished the play with a fast roller past Peckham to tie the game. That 1-1 score remained after two overtimes. They are definitely a good team, ranked in the top 10, and so we needed to come and show up to play, Verona head coach Jennifer Faulkner said. Digging back after that late goal takes a lot of grit. And so did Wings play through an injury. In the 62nd minute, a ball was played through the middle near the top of the penalty box, and Peckham came out to play the ball. Wing was there too, and she and Peckham collided, with Wing taking a kick to the stomach. Faulkner said Wing played tough to get through the shake up, and it is a theme that other underclassmen seem to be following as well. Our freshmen are really stepping up and giving us great minutes, she said. They are giving us good energy and effort up top. Shelly threaded the needle with that pass, and Ellery was there to finish. That was beautiful. Oregon struck first in the 70th minute after senior Annie Zavoral found junior forward Eliza Neidharts head.

The Wildcats have put up runs, and even won a game, with less hits this season. But an offense struggling to put the ball in play against one of the states best teams proved too much to overcome Saturday as Verona fell 10-0 in six innings at Sun Prairie. Despite the clout the Cardinals are carrying off of last years success, head coach Todd Anderson was expecting a much closer game, I knew they were capable of something like this Sun Prairie is a great ball club, he said. We didnt hit the ball well and made a few mistakes. You cant do that against a good team. After reaching new heights in 2012 including the programs first Big Eight title and a shot at the WIAA Division 1 state championship the Cardinals come into this season with their sights set on repeat performances on both counts. Its a high bar and a tough goal, but it is definitely achievable, head coach Jamie Olson said. If were going to get back there, this is the group of kids that can do it. And I have all the faith in them to do it. The squad returns eight of nine starters from last years team, which went 24-4 overall and fell 4-3 to Chippewa Falls in the Division 1 championship game. Kristen Hoppman, an all-conference and All-State pitcher as a junior, allowed two hits to Ray, while striking out four with no walks. Undefeated Sun Prairie, which finished with 14 hits, led off the bottom of the sixth with three-straight singles before Jenna Dammen singled home Brianna Peterson to cap the 10-run victory. The host Cardinals jumped out to a 4-0

lead through two innings as misfortune struck Verona from the start. Inducing Sun Prairie lead-off hitter Katelyn Huemmer to hit the ball harmlessly on the infield, it looked as though the Wildcats would start the game by putting away the All-Conference and AllState third baseman. Looks proved deceiving, though, as the first base ump ruled Bailey Buisker off the bag. Veronas ills grew larger from there when Brianna Peterson tripled over the head of Bea Kealy in right field to plate the games first run. Hoppman helped her own cause, adding a bloop RBI single into right field. Peterson tacked on two more with a two-run RBI single in the second. Sun Prairie added three runs in the fourth and sixth to put the visiting Wildcats away in six innings. Verona only threatened in the top of the fourth when Emma Ray hit a single over second and Claudia Kepler singled back up the box with no outs. Hoppman and the Cardinals got out
of the jam, inducing a pair of pop outs in foul territory and a ground out. With three days standing between his teams first loss and a second meeting with the Cardinals, Anderson continued, We know what we need to work on. After winning big some teams might relax, I dont know if Sun Prairie will, but I know the pressure if off us. We have a mark in the loss column now and we can come back and play a lot looser. Verona was able to reschedule game at Sun Prairie from Friday to Saturday as the Wildcats had already cancelled their non-conference doubleheader at home against Kaukauna.
Three days after being shut out on the Cardinals home field, Verona welcomed Sun Prairie to the Country View softball diamond. Despite being held to just three hits, the Wildcats, which eventually fell 2-0, saw

Parents wait in line, backed up to Main Street, to pick up students who were on lockdown last Thursday.
Lockdown: Superintendent
says he would make same call
Continued from Page 1 events of May 2 may have been terribly upsetting to your child in a locked down classroom and for you as parents in not having adequate (or any) communication about this, he wrote. For that I apologize. Communication could improve through a new deal the district wrapped up last month, when it signed a $19,000 contract for a new notification system called SchoolReach that extends until August 2015.

The FBIs Chicago bureau circulated these photos of Paris Poe, who was considered extremely dangerous.
Would do it again
Poe was presumed armed and dangerous, and law enforcement officials at one point spotted him on foot near the intersection of Nesbitt and Fitchrona Roads after he had left an area hotel. All Verona schools are within about two miles of that spot, prompting the district-wide lockdown, Gorrell said in the May 3 letter. Poe was later seen around noon near the Copps grocery store at 6655 McKee Road, according to multiple news reports. With the suspects whereabouts unknown, we did not want to prematurely send students out of school and off buses potentially
into harms way, the letter said. Two nearby Madison schools were also under lockdown, but students werent held in classrooms and were dismissed on time, according to Channel 3 News. But Gorrell defended the districts decision to extend its lockdown beyond the school day. Given the same information at the same time, we would have made the same decision again, he said. Its always easier afterward, when theres more information, but you have to remember, in the moment, you have to go with what information do you have at that time. In a hard lockdown, students arent to leave classrooms, even to go to the bathroom, though some classrooms have bathroom access. Gorrell confirmed media reports that in one instance, some elementary school students were in a gym with no bathrooms and had to pee into buckets in a janitors closet. While not ideal, Gorrell said the teachers in that case followed protocol for keeping students out of hallways. The question is, what if that were happening right next to your kids school? Would you want them in the hallways? he said. The district has rehearsed hard lockdowns before, but never for protracted periods like last Thursday. We learned a lot from it, he said, adding that staff did an awesome job handling a difficult situation.

Cold camp-out
Some hardy boys and adults from Verona Boy Scout Troop 349 recently enjoyed an overnight camp-out in sub-zero temperatures late this winter. Their activities included sledding and animal tracking. A blazing campfire was an especially popular place to gather.
No illnesses have been reported after a potential bacteria problem caused the Verona Area High School Natatorium to close April 24. A routine test last month showed the possibility of high levels of bacteria, natatorium director Angie Lucas told the Verona Press. The Public Health Department of Madison and Dane County tests the water at the pool every month, Lucas said, and last months results showed the possibility of
high levels of bacteria including E. coli and total coliform. Lucas said the chemical levels were normal. The results prompted staff to close the pool and filter the pool, which takes about five hours. A follow up test the next day indicated no dangerous bacteria levels. Lucas said it was highly unlikely that any body could have gotten sick, and that the bacteria results could have even been false-positive test. Someone would have had to drink a large amount of water (to get sick), Lucas said.
