Twenty years after the
Schmid family broke
ground on the Ace Hard-
ware store at 119 W. Vero-
na Ave., the store is set to
close.
Elaine and Mark
Schmid, who manage the
store, announced the clo-
sure in a June 16 note on
the stores front doors.
Marks parents, Rich -
ard and Sue Schmid, are
the principal owners of
the property and decided
about a month ago to sell
it, Mark said.
It was either invest
heavily, go into more
debt at their age (in their
mid-70s), he explained.
There was an opportuni-
ty at the end of the whole
process to actually sell the
project, and they have a
decision, and they decided
to sell.
Elaine added: Its a
Until that time, the store
was all set to be part of a
proposed redevelopment
on the site along with the
neighboring property that
houses World of Variety
that wouldve brought
apartments and commer-
cial retail to the spot, along
with a scaled-down Ace.
We were excited about
the redevelopment, very,
theres no doubt, Mark
said.
But they got an offer
to purchase the property
from Dean and Doug Sla-
by, who own Verona con-
struction firm KSW, which
had proposed the project
earlier this year. Mark
said KSW plans to move
forward with the project,
which features two three-
or four-story buildings that
combine for about 17,000
square feet of retail and
between 32 and 48 apart-
ment units.
Even if they had stayed
part of the redevelop-
ment, Elaine said the new
space would have been Photo by Amber Levenhagen

In honor of the 25-year anniversary of Dane County Dog Parks, the event featured
food and live music by the Oak Street Ramblers. More photos from
Dancers with Woofs presented three different dance routines with dogs during the Barks for Parks

Concerts to promote

AMBER LEVENHAGEN
For the last several weeks, local
businesses have been feeling the
effects of the South Main Street con-

the full closure of the road through
early August.
But the Verona Area Chamber of

can help.

came during a brainstorming session
just a few weeks ago, after it was
announced that Tuvalu Coffeehouse
and Gallery would not be hosting its
weekly music series, normally held
on Fridays and Saturdays, Chamber
executive director Le Jordan told the
Press.
All of a sudden, the lights went
on and everyone decided it would be
a great thing for the chamber to pick
up and do this summer, as a great way
to promote the downtown still being
open, she said.
The first concert will be held
5-8p.m. Friday, July 7. The concerts,
all free, will be held at that same time
every other Friday until August 18.
The series was previously slated to
begin June 23, but was forced to be
delayed until July 7 to wait for city
approval. The Public Safety commit-
tee approved the event at its meeting
Monday night after rejecting the first,

Verona Area School District

Board approves first Site governance under review

Board debates what
should be reported,
resources Jason Olson
called the idea of three
reports a process over-

referendum borrowing
Structure allows for
tax rate flexibility in
coming years
SCOTT GIRARD
Unified Newspaper Group
The Verona Area school
board began Monday
exercising the borrowing
authority voters granted in
approving the April referen-
dum.
The board voted to apply
for a $5 million loan from
the State Trust Fund Loan
program, which has higher
interest rates than general
obligation bonds, but can be
paid off at any time. Con-
sultant Michele Wiberg of
PMA Financial Network
told the board that taking
out $5 million through the
program this and next year
and $6.28 million the fol-
lowing would help them
deliver on the promised tax
rates.
Youre kind of paying
for the flexibility, which
we think is worth it, she
explained.
The majority of the loans
are still expected to be tak-
en out as 20-year general
obligation bonds, includ-
ing an expected $85 mil-
lion later this year toward
the eventual total of $181.2
million to build a new high
school and renovate exist-
ing schools.
But those bonds cannot be
paid off in the first 10 years,
Wiberg said, which limits
what the school board can do
to affect the tax rate in a giv-
en year. After its literature on
the referendum predicted a
$12.77 rate for each of 2017-
18, 2018-19 and 2019-20,
that could be important.
Depending on the operat-
ing tax rate, which is some-
what out of the districts
control and depends on fac-
tors like local property val-
ues, the board could decide
in a given year to pay off
more or less of the State
Trust Fund Loan debt to
get the tax rate to that target
within a 25-cent range of
operating tax rate.
As that (operating rate)
moves up and down, we
want to be able to move that
(debt) piece up and down to
counteract it, Wiberg said.
Youre going to be safely
within the parameters you
talked about in referen-
dum.
The board approved its
preliminary 2017-18 budget
Monday with that rate of
$12.77.
While the approval
and tax rate wont be
final until October, the
$65.9 million budget isnt
likely to change much, said
Verona Area School District
business manager consul-
tant Chris Murphy.
Districts are required to
approve a preliminary bud-
get by July 1 each year, at
which point the state offers
aid estimates for the
year. Those numbers, partly
based on attendance, will be
finalized after the third Fri-
day in September, when the
state takes its official count
of students in each district.
The State Trust Fund
Loan is expected to close
Aug. 1, and Wibergs pre-
sentation included a plan
to lock in interest rates on
municipal bonds in Septem-
ber for an October loan.

A new site governance
structure in the Verona
Area School District is
closer to approval after the
full school board discussed
the concept Monday night.

centralize some decisions
and leave site councils to
focus on specific goals at
their site based on collect-
ed data calling the groups
continuous improvement
teams has been in the
works for more than a
year, superintendent Dean
Gorrell noted.
The changes include two
policies and two rules to
outline the new structure,
including establishing
implementation teams
to carry out the work the
continuous improvement
teams establish as priori-
ties.
Most of Mondays dis-
cussion focused on wheth-
er keeping the board thor-
oughly updated would
load.
Im not sure we feel
like we have the capacity
and the systems to get that
in place, Olson said.
The board also discussed
the format of those reports
and wondered whether
simpler reports could ease
the burden. Board member
Meredith Stier Christensen
said a careful balance is
important.
If were saying we (as
a board) are committed to
being accountable to con-
tinuous improvement in
the district, then we need
to know (whats happen-
ing), she said. But not
at the expense of you
being able to continuously
improve.
Board member Amy
Almond said shorter, more
regular updates would
also help her avoid feeling
overwhelmed during an
in-depth process, as she
sometimes has in the past.
Id like to focus more
on the annual report being
the end-of-the-year kind of
things that we put togeth-
er, Almond said. Also I
want to hear whats going

Charter wait list policy reconsidered

Committee discusses
allowing parents to rank
programs
SCOTT GIRARD
Unified Newspaper Group
Verona Area school board mem-
bers will discuss allowing parents to
rank their choice of charter schools in
future years.
The current policy requires parents
to choose only one of the districts
choice options, which include three
elementary charter schools and the
Two Way Immersion Spanish-lan-
guage program.
The idea, discussed at a June 21
committee meeting, came about after
a charter enrollment period that saw
wait lists for kindergarten spots in
three of the programs and 10 open
spots at another, Core Knowledge
Charter School. If a ranking system
were in place, parents on the wait lists
at those other three programs would
have an option to move to CKCS if
it were among their choices, and it
would provide the school with the
opportunity to fill those spots.
But there are plenty of concerns
partly based on the idea that the pro-
grams are all different, which means
parents choosing one should do so
with the specific instruction and pro-
gramming in mind, rather than simply
because its a charter.
Board member Meredith Sti-
er Christensen told the curriculum,
instruction and assessment committee
June 21 that there may be reasons
that people want to be on the wait list
for more than one charter school,
especially given the similarities
between VAIS a Chinese-language
immersion program and the TWI
program.
It could be the smaller school feel,
it could be the community, Stier
Christensen said. It could be relocat-
ing within the district without uproot-
ing the child.
Board member Renee Zook stressed
that the logistics behind the scenes
of policy change would have to be
well thought-out and the group should
consider outrageous scenarios when
trying to draft a policy.
It would need to be very clear in
our language how a lottery is going to
be done, Zook said. Stuff will come
up when you have parents who want
something for their kids.
Superintendent Dean Gorrell also
get off of a wait list and one school
and take an open spot at their second-
or third-ranked school. Director of
curriculum and instruction Ann Fran-
ke wondered what would happen if a
parent moved to their second school
only to have a spot open at what had
been their number one choice.
Theres a lot of moving parts, I
think, that will have to be taken into
consideration, Franke said.
Gorrell also expressed concerns
about the already inconsistent demo-
graphics at the charter schools, which
are supposed to mirror district demo-
graphics for special needs students
and free/reduced lunch students. He
said that while CKCS has at times
come close, the schools in general do
not.
This year, for example, CKCS has
20.8 percent economically disadvan-
taged students compared to 28.2 per-
cent district-wide. NCS had 12 per-
cent and VAIS 16.1 percent.
Gorrell said the current policy
leaves room for move-in families who
are economically disadvantaged or
special needs to fill those open spots
and help even up those demographics,
and changing this could get rid of that
possibility.
The policy is expected to be consid-

The Verona Area School District again raised its lunch
prices by 10 cents for next school year as its required to

public debate and welcomes
letters to the editor, provided
they comply with our guide-
lines.
Letters should be no longer
than 400 words. They should

will not be printed. Letters that
recount personal experiences,
good or bad, with individual
businesses will not be printed
unless there is an overwhelm-

graph paper. Part of the editors
job was to piece together, like a

jigsaw puzzle, a combination of
text, photos (all black and white
at the time), and advertisements
to make an attractive newspaper
page.
This is where the term cut
and paste comes from.
New technology changed all
that for the better, and I was
happy to ride the wave.
Now, the technology in most
smart phones is ages ahead of
what I used at the newspaper.
That is the problem. I think of
myself as a smart guy, but I am
not nearly as sharp with the
technology in my smart phone as
I was with the emerging newspa-
per technology two decades ago.
Every once in a while, Ill do
something with my phone and
have no idea how to undo what I
just did. So I hand my phone to
my son, who can fix the problem
in about 30 seconds.
I used to be the guy who could
fix these problems, but not any-
more.
This is not the only way I am
not keeping up with technolo-
gy, and it makes me feel like a
dinosaur. For example, I still use
the U.S. Mail to pay my bills,
something that prompted some
ribbing from a younger in-law a
few weeks ago.
Dont you just pay them
online? she asked, incredulous.
The answer is yes, I do pay
some of them online, but some
I still send in the old-fashioned
way. I tried to explain to her
why, but my logic made me
sound paranoid.
While I struggle with this
dinosaur label, there is one area
of life where I simply refuse to
admit the new way is the better
way. I am starting to believe
I am one of the few people in
America who stills carries cash
in his wallet, but I will not
budge on this one.
Many has been the time
when Ive waited in a fast-food
drive-thru and saw the person in
front of me purchase an 80 cent
soft-serve cone with plastic. I
have to wonder why the person
didnt have a lonely dollar bill
she could have used, a quick and
easy exchange.
It is not the overuse of credit
cards that bothers me so much.
It has more to do with the old
Boy Scout motto, Be prepared.
You can use cash just about
anywhere, but your credit cards
are just one power outage away
from uselessness.
Ive seen it. People who

at the golf course because the
previous nights storms had
knocked out the cash registers.
Giant lines at the department
store when the computers mal-
function.
The worst case happened to
me and my buddy Tom a few
years ago. We planned a canoe
trip in Northern Wisconsin with
two of Toms younger friends.
The canoe company represen-
tative met us at the river launch
point, which was in the middle
of a forest, with the canoes. As
you might expect, he wasnt let-
ting us have the canoes without
payment, and since there was no
cell service in the middle of the
woods he could not take credit
cards.
And the two boys didnt have
any cash.
Luckily, Tom and I came extra
prepared, but to this day it amaz-
es me than two intelligent young
people would travel to one of the
most remote parts of Wisconsin
with no cash for emergencies.
That last little rant makes me
wonder if while I am transition-
ing into a dinosaur I am also
becoming a curmudgeon.
More to the point, it makes
me wonder why it is happening.
How did someone who helped
bring the Verona Press out of the
Stone Age just two decades ago,
and enjoyed doing it, become so
technology averse?
Of course, back at the Press
there were older employees who
fought and complained about
the transition to the new way of
putting the paper together, too.
It makes me wonder if there is
a point where people just nat-
urally stop learning, evolving
and adapting, and becoming a
curmudgeon is a defense mech-
anism.
And that, I believe, is what
worries me most of all.

draw a few hundred peo-
ple, many of whom relax in
lawn chairs or bring their
kids to play while taking in
the music. The Verona Area
Chamber of Commerce has
sponsored the free event
since its inception in 2009
and looks to continue the
tradition in 2017.
Three of them Down
from the Hills, Chicken
Bakin, and Thirsty Jones
have performed at previous
Concerts in the Park, while
Mad City Jug Band is this
years newcomer.
Down from the Hills
kicks off the series July 6.
The band, which performed
in 2014 at Concerts in the
Park, plays a lot of bluegrass
but isnt afraid to break out
a Chuck Berry tune, band
member Pat Downing told
the Press.
We are really glad to be
back, he said.

Home Talent League

Cavaliers shutout Hollandale for ninth Western Section win

ANTHONY IOZZO
Assistant sports editor
The Verona Home Talent team
won its seventh straight game
Sunday 13-0 at Hollandale,
improving to 9-1 overall in the
Western Section North Division.
While the Cavaliers have the
entire team back in the mix,
availability issues have made it
difficult to get a consistent line-
up on the field.
But with a mix of veterans,
college players and high school
graduates on the team, there is a
lot of upside for Verona, which
is a half game ahead of Mount
Horeb/Pine Bluff for first place
in the division.
Things are going well so far,
manager Nick Krohn said. I
think we feel pretty good about
where we are at.
It also doesnt hurt that Kyle
Nelson is back healthy on the
mound after injuring his ACL
before last season. Nelson is the
ace of the Cavaliers and one of
the big reasons Verona won the
2015 HTL title.
Krohn said having Nelson
back is a big plus because it
makes the team play looser and
with more confidence.
(Nelson) is such a workhorse
out there, Krohn said He is

very smart. He obviously has a
lot of talent, but he knows how
to pitch.
It is not just rear back and
throw. He gives our entire team
a lot of confidence, not that we
didnt when we had Zach Spen-
cer throw or whoever we had
last year. But it is at a little bit
of a different level.
Verona brought in four high
school graduates to build some
depth pitchers Jeff Bishop
and Brad Laufenberg, outfielder
Jacob Slonim and infielder Tyler
McClure. All four players have
been in the lineup, though most-
ly on Thursday nights.
Krohn said they are versa-
tile and can be put in the game
wherever they are needed, which
has been good so far this season.

Junior Chandler Bainbridge (22) was named
as an honorable mention All-State selection
after scoring 12 goals and adding five assists
this season.
ANTHONY IOZZO
Assistant sports editor
Junior midfielder Chandler Bainbridge
has earned honorable mention All-State
honors this season.
Bainbridge will be a senior leader on the
Verona soccer team next season, and she
told the Press the award motivates her to
continue to work toward her goal of playing
soccer in college.
People say that I am good enough to go
far, but I never really believed it for myself,
Bainbridge said. But being honorable men-
tion All-State makes me realize that I can go
far and do better things if I decide to go play
college soccer, which I want to.
Bainbridge, a first-team All-Big Eight
Conference selection, finished with 12 goals
and five assists on the year.
Bainbridge had the assist on the
game-winning goal in the regional final to
upset top-seeded Middleton, and she also
scored a goal to tie Oconomowoc in the sec-
tional semifinal.
She said her added production was just as
much a product of her team as her new role.
It meant a lot to me because I feel like
I worked really hard for my team, Bain-
bridge said. It was also about them. I
helped them improve, but they also helped
me improve because they all have different
abilities to make each other better.

facility that will last far lon-
ger this time perhaps 50
to 70 years.
With budget season just
around the corner, a con-
sultant presented a report
Monday to the Common
Council, recommend-
ing a 70,000-square-foot
main building with room
to make it 90,000, plus a
20,000-square-foot cold
storage facility.
No cost estimate was
given, but based on typi-
cal construction costs not-
ed, the full buildout likely
would be $10 million or
more and likely would need
the city to buy new land
next year.
Barrientos Design plan-
ner Doug Forton noted a
variety of problems with
the current facility a
39,000-square-foot main
building and 14,000 square
feet of storage. In addition
to the overcrowded garage,

he said, the cramped office
areas often do double duty
advantage.
A single facility either
accommodating multi- within or adjacent to city
ple people or storage and limits with that sort of
theres poor traffic circula- space leaves only a handful
tion. of options.
Forton pointed out that The existing site could
the existing site is limit- be expanded to 64,000
ed and that few sites can square feet in total at a cost
accommodate the 12-18 of about $5 million, which
acres that would be need- wo u l d p r ov i d e e n o u g h
ed, at least not close to the garage space for now but
citys core and with good would require building
vehicle access. And while parking atop the stormwater
having two garages is not facilities, would not solve
unheard of, it could create a the traffic circulation prob-
new set of problems, Forton lems and would not leave
and public works director room for future expansion.
Theran Jacobson said. Jacobson and Forton told

Forton said as one exam- began processing recycling

Jacobson pointed out that expanded significantly in
communication and collab- 2007 into asphalt, mixed
oration at the current sin- compost and construction/
gle facility creates a huge demolition debris recycling,
causing a brief controver-
sy over smells and floating
debris.
Ald. Brad Stiner (Dist. 3)
questioned the location and
convenience of that option,
which is a few hundred feet
from County Hwy. M and
about one-tenth of a mile
farther from downtown than
the existing Bruce Street
building. He also recom-
mended finding a way to
continue using the existing
facility because of its con-
venient location.
Mayor Jon Hochkammer
called the proposed loca-
tion a pretty good site
and noted that much of the
citys growth in the past
several years has been near
there. Its bordered on two
sides by the Cathedral Point
subdivision, one of the last
remaining spots in the city
with buildable lots.

Other sites had challeng-
es Forton and Jacobson
didnt like.
A site across Bruce Street
from the existing facili-
ty, near Firemans Park, is
close to the existing facility
and has enough space but
has challenging topography
and wetlands, complicating
construction and limiting its
configuration. A site further
south on Range Trail could
be adequate but is too big,
has problems with differing
elevations and would require
either a sideways traffic flow,
around the building rather
than directly in, or an unfa-
vorable configuration.
There isnt anything of
that size except these three
sites that are within town,
Jacobson said in response to
Stiners location concerns,
noting that the only others
that large are the Verona Area
School District site off West
Verona Avenue and the adja-
cent 14-acre Erbach property.
Ald. Jack Linder (D-2)
wondered why the facility is
needed already when the city
has not yet even taken pos-
session of the adjacent Vero-
na Area Community Theater
building. He noted that when
the city agreed to purchase
the building for $360,000
nearly three years ago, city
staff had promised it would
buy some time.
Jacobson said the timeline
has not changed and that the
parks department will use it
as overflow storage tempo-
rarily to declutter the drive
aisles. He explained the
ideal move-in would be
in 2021, with land acquisi-
tion next year, engineering
in 2019 and construction
throughout 2020.

City in brief
Northwest meeting
The city will hold a public information meeting this
week on the new Northwest Neighborhood plan. The
plan has been developed as a response to the high-rise
Legends End proposal at County Hwy. PD and Northern
Lights.
The meeting begins at 6:30p.m. Thursday, June 29, at
Verona City Center.
Liquor license denial
A liquor license for Prairie Heights Event Center will
lapse after the operator could not meet obligations for
payment of distributors and facility inspection.
The banquet facility on the citys south side has had
lapses before under its current management, agent Chad
Leppien, based on unresolved issues with city building
and fire inspection but has always resolved them. Leppi-
en operated both Prairie Heights and Picassos for many
years, but he closed Picassos in February after nearly
17 years, telling the Wisconsin State Journal he would
focus on his catering business.
Senior apartments meeting
The developer of a proposed senior facility on North
Main Street is holding a neighborhood meeting to dis-
cuss the project next month.
The facility would contain 140 apartments, some of
them assisted living, at 841 N. Main St. The proposal
got mixed reviews from the Plan Commission and Com-
mon Council, with concerns over the number of apart-
ments.
The meeting is 6-7p.m. Tuesday, July 11, at the Vero-
na Public Library and is also hosted by the citys Dis-
trict 3 alders.
Forward Development Group held a similar meeting
March 30. A memo from FDG notes revisions to that
proposal.
Capital borrowing
The Common Council approved borrowing $5.3 mil-
lion Monday for street improvements and $3.1 million
for other capital improvements.
Road projects include the County M and PD inter-
section, Park Lane, Shuman and Railroad streets and
the bike and pedestrian plan upgrades. Other projects
include replacing the senior center climate-control sys-
tem, development projects in the downtown tax-incre-
ment financing district, utility upgrades and improve-
ments to the library and the Lincoln Street channel and
basin.
Administrative policies
The city made several changes to the senior cen-
ters administrative policies in order to earn accredita-
tion. They include behavior, bodily fluid management,
closing due to weather, handling cash, use of facilities,
confidentiality, recruitment, documentation, emergency
management, staff safety and responding to grievances.
Ald. Luke Diaz (D-3) said a lot of thought went into
the changes, and he credited senior center director
Mary Hanson for them.
Still no Plan rep
The Common Council still has no representative for
the Plan Commission after alders voted 4-3 along famil-
iar lines, needing six votes to confirm either Ald. Jack
Linder (D-2) or Diaz.
Until the April election, Linder was on the commis-
sion either as an alder or a citizen representative for
more than a decade. The council has held five votes, all
split either 4-4 or 4-3, depending on absences, and all
with little or no discussion.

she said, which wouldve
created an express for-

That decision was based
on general changes in the
retail market, Elaine said,
including both brick and
mortar stores and online
competition.
Twenty years ago, there
wasnt anything at the oth-
er end of Verona, she said,
referring to the expan-
sion of the city that now
includes a 114,000-square-
foot Farm and Fleet store.
Consumers have multiple
choices (now).
The Schmid family first
bought the business in
1971, when it was known
as a Coast-to-Coast hard-
ware store. It became Ace
Hardware in 1990 on the
current World of Variety
property before moving to
its current location in 1997.

Mark and Elaine took
over the business in 2002.
It was enjoyable, Mark
said. When its a family
business, its kind of differ-
ent than just a job.
The store is closed this
week as they prepare for
a liquidation sale. Every-
thing must be gone from
the store by mid-August.
The store will re-open
July 6 for at least the
month of July, depending
on how the sale goes.
Elaine said she hopes
the KSW project and other
proposals in the downtown
area can help revitalize the
area in Verona, even with-
out Ace.
We both, and Marks
parents, firmly believe that
this block might be a cat-
alyst to some good things
right in the heart of down-
town Verona, she said.
