City plans appeal, deal on fire department lawsuit

Its pursuing a settlement on order favoring union but still working through courts
MARK IGNATOWSKI
Unified Newspaper Group
The City of Verona is simultaneously pursuing both an appeal

and a settlement in its dispute
with a local firefighters union.
Alders voted 7-1 last week to
proceed with plans to appeal an

injunction that blocked it from
holding an open hiring for firefighters late last year as it prepared to create a new city department from the remains of a fire
district department. Officials
are also attempting to work with
the firefighters Local 311 union

to reach a settlement outside of
court.
The vote authorized attorneys
to file an appeal to an injunction
issued by Judge Peter C. Anderson in Dane County Circuit Court
in May that blocked the city from
hiring new firefighters. The ruling also labeled the city as the
municipal employer of the firefighters and ordered the city to
abide by a collective bargaining
agreement previously approved
by the Verona Fire District.
The council also gave staff the
go ahead to try to reach a settlement agreement with the union.
Details of the proposed
settlement terms were discussed

in closed session last week and
not disclosed. City administrator Bill Burns said the settlement could include language that
would stop the appeal process if
the city and union could agree on
plans for the future operation of
the fire station.

After more than 20

years, the Verona Area
Community Theater group
continues to grow and is
hoping to move into a new
building next to the new
fire station.
This month it expects to
find out what city leaders
think about its plans.
VACT has spent a few
years looking at different
sites in the city, including
parkland next to Epic, but
it never really found the
right fit until city staff suggested an unused area next
to the fire station. While
the location is a great fit in
some respects, the theater
group wants to be sure city
council members are OK
with the plans.
The group has started a
quiet campaign to Follow
the Dream of building a
small theater along with
rehearsal space that will
help expand its programs.
The group has outgrown their current space
on Bruce Street and it has
found space at the Verona Area High Schools
Performing Arts Center
becoming more and more
difficult to book. But
attempts to find a new location have met with some
resistance in the past year.
The group needs to
know if the city is supportive of the plan before any
kind of fundraising campaign begins in earnest,

That would mean allowing
the use of the site and purchasing the current building to repurpose for public

told the Press last week.

Amateur radio
operators have
a Field Day
EVAN HALPOP
Verona Press correspondent
Last weekends thunderstorms and rain didnt

dissuade the Four Lakes
Amateur Radio Club from
camping out at Badger Prairie County Park for their
annual Field Day Event.
After all, the event has
been going on since 1933
and the club that sponsors
it, the Amateur Radio Relay
League, is 100 years old.
Founded in May 1914
by Hiram Percy Maxim,
an American pioneer and
inventor, the club holds a
nationwide annual event on
the fourth weekend of June.
More than 35,000 radio
amateurs gather for friendly
competition in radio use
put simply, they contact
as many different stations
as they can while learning
how to operate the radio
gear in unusual situations
and less-than-adequate conditions.
The Field Day, held June
28-29 this year, also serves
as a campout, picnic and an
opportunity to practice for
emergencies in which their
radio skills, working with
HAM and other radios, will
come in handy. The event is
open to the public, so anyone interested in learning
radio skills can observe.
On Saturday, many of the
club members were working vigorously to help earn
the club points for the contest. Others were taking a
break, having coffee while
chatting with the other club
members. In general, they
looked like they were having a blast just being there
together as a club.
Frederick Baguhn of
Mount Horeb explained
that the call sign they use
when communicating with
other radio stations is how
they identify whom they are
talking to. That includes the
country and region they are
in.
Carolyn Kammen, a Madison resident, said the reason
their group chose Badger
Prairie was because their
radios get the best transmission up on the aeromodeling
field hill. She said members
wouldnt have to drive too
far to reach the gathering
point.
She said the landscape
isnt so hilly and is more
open, which helps their transmissions get out of the park.
Kammen said the group
was using voice, digital and
Morse code during the event.

organization, visit arrl.org.

City of Verona
Hearing set for hotel, 3 other buildings

JIM FEROLIE
Verona Press editor
The big hotel is back, and

it has a name.
As the Verona Press
research indicated last
month, a proposed hotel
in Liberty Business Park
would in fact be a Hyatt.
Slightly revised plans
submitted to the city on
June 12 are intended to be
reviewed at Mondays Plan
Commission meeting, and
developers have released
the operation name, or
flag, as well as increasing
the size to 231 rooms and
nearly 200,000 square feet.
Its the biggest of three
proposed building projects
at Liberty Park, not including the 25,000-square-foot
building already under
construction. Next weeks
meeting could end up with
site plan approval for all
three the hotel; a mixed
use building with at least
one restaurant, a studio and
other retail on the bottom
and offices on the top; and

twin flex buildings that
would accommodate various commercial users such
as might normally found in
a business park.
All three of the buildings
require public hearings next
week and permits that must
be approved by the Common Council. One requires
a change in zoning, another
a group development permit to allow two buildings
on a lot and the four-story
hotel requires a conditional
use permit because of the
type and size of business.
If all three come to fruition, the park would be well
on track to cover landowner
David Reinkes requirements in the tax-increment
financing deal he made
with the city. That could
help bring about the second planned phase of TIF
construction the extension
of Liberty Drive and the
expansion of Whalen Road.
The most recent submission does not have much
more detail on the hotel

than was provided at last
months Plan Commission
meeting that it would
be a hybrid model serving extended stay travelers
on one end and traditional
overnight guests on the other, that would have a pool,
all surface parking, etc.
However, some changes
have been made based on
commission recommendations. Among them, the
footprint has been reduced
and the height increased to
four stories and 49 feet tall;
parking has been increased,
and visual aspects have
been changed. The color
palate would now blend
better with the Italian-style
mixed-use building and
the landscaping has been
changed, including the creation of a rain garden that
had been suggested.
The other two projects
are nearly identical to what
was presented to the commission in their initial
reviews in May and June,
Verona attorney suspended by state

KEVIN MURPHY
The Wisconsin Supreme

Court suspended Verona
attorney Andrew Bryants law license for four
months for 15 counts of
professional misconduct
involving three clients,
some while his license
was temporarily suspended.
Bryant, who was first
issued a law license in
1992, had it administratively suspended on
Nov. 1, 2010 for failure
to pay his State Bar dues.
Three days later, Bryant appeared in Dane and
Columbia county courts
on behalf of clients. His
license was reinstated on
Nov. 9, 2010.
According the courts
June 24 order:
Five misconduct counts
involved Bryant representing a couple in a joint
divorce petition without
having them sign a conflict waiver, a written
agreement for his $1,500
fee or depositing it in a
trust account as required
by the state Supreme
Court rules.
Although the woman
client wanted an expedited
proceeding because of her
husbands deteriorating
mental condition, a judge
dismissed the petition in
July 2011 after months of

inactivity.
His clients, who had not
communicated with Bryant for a year, were told
by their daughter that their
divorce case had been dismissed. Despite repeated
requests, Bryant took three
months to refile the case.
A spouse fired Bryant
and hired a new attorney in
February 2012 after Bryant
did not seek an expedited
settlement. Bryant then
took six weeks to respond
to a request to send the new
attorney the divorce case
file. At the same time, he
sent the couple a check for
$331 after deducting his
fees and costs from their
$1,500 retainer.
The state Supreme
Court also found that Bryants representation of the
couple violated conduct
rules, including failing to
advance clients interests
and provider files to their
new attorney in a timely
manner.
Bryants failure to file
a list of expert witnesses
with a court resulted in
the permanent dismissal
of another case forgoing
the chance of recovering
damages for his clients
injuries.
Bryant subsequently
admitted that in the year
he represented a man he
failed to interview the
treating physicians and

expert witness the case
needed despite being
warned by a judge to produce a witness list and
assessed $1,000 in sanctions.
The remaining misconduct violations stemmed
from a 2007 divorce proceeding in which the judge
called Bryants statements
in the matter misleading
not true and undertaken for the purpose of
delay.
Bryant agreed that he
had committed 15 misconduct violations and to pay
$1,500 restitution to the
couple he represented in
the joint divorce petition.
Given the presence of
prior discipline, the number of counts of misconduct, the number of clients
impacts by the misconduct
and the seriousness of the
misconduct, a suspension is clearly required,
according to the 27-page
order.
The court conditioned
Bryants license reinstatement on his obtaining a
satisfactory mental health
evaluation and paying the
approximate $2,500 cost
of the Office of Lawyer
Regulations investigation.
Efforts to contact Bryant Monday for this story
were unsuccessful.
respectively.
One would have two
back-to-back flex buildings
designed to accommodate
businesses that might have
some customer interaction,
even some retail presence
but with a basic feel and
style and limited visibility
from the main road. Tenants that were announced
for the flex building thats
already being constructed
are KSW Construction,
Commercial Recreation
Specialists, Budget Blinds
and Cooper Plumbing.
The mixed use project is expected to house a

sort, along with other retail

Verona 2nd-best
in Wisconsin for
home ownership
A national consumer data
analysis website named Verona the second-best city in Wisconsin for home ownership.
NerdWallet, which offers
financial advice, looked at a
variety of factors to determine
the rankings, including homeownership rate, homeowner
costs as a percentage of household income and 2010-12
population growth.
The city had the highest
population growth among the
85 cities on the list at 6 percent.
The study also found a
69.7 percent homeownership
rate and a 28.2 percent rate
for costs as a percentage of
household income. That was
a theme among the top cities
in the studies, with eight of
the top 10 featuring a number
lower than 30 percent, which
meets the standard of affordability from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development.
NerdWallet found the
median home value in Verona
was $241,200, second-highest
among the top five cities.
A NerdWallet article on the
study mentioned Epic and the
citys proximity to Madison,
as well.
Suamico was ranked first,
while Verona was followed
by Howard, Waunakee and
Franklin in the top five.

Hoffman receives state

agricultural educator award
A recently retired Verona
Area High School teacher
received an agricultural
educators award in June.
Kevin Hoffman, who
grew up in Verona himself
and taught Agricultural
Education for 24 years at
VAHS, received the Honored Educator Award from
the Wisconsin Association
of Agricultural Education at
a conference June 18.
The award recognizes
members of the association
who provide key leadership and input at the local
and state level, according
to a news release from the
organization.
Teachers much have
at least 20
years experience to
be considered for the
award.
Adviser, mentor,
Hoffmann
colleague,
t e a c h e r
and friend are a few of the
titles that Kevin holds, the
release states. He has given time, talent and himself
without hesitation.
The release touches on
his time as a board member for the organization and
other roles as an educator as
factors in the award.
VAHS students stranded at

OHare after bus confusion
A group of Verona Area
High School students and
chaperones travelling to
Spain had an eventful trip
from start to finish.
The group left the morning after the tornado came
tearing through the city and
destroyed parts of Country
View Elementary School.
But when they returned,
it wasnt weather that created an issue; the bus that was
supposed to pick them up at
OHare airport in Chicago
wasnt there.
First Student bus company had driven the group
of 19 down to OHare and
was supposed to pick them
up. But June 26, when
they returned, the bus was
nowhere to be found, Don
Beauchamp, who had a
child on the trip, said.
Beauchamp said he spoke
with the company, which
said it had a driver at the
airport who was unable to
locate the students.
Im still at a loss as to
how they missed each other, Beauchamp said. Im

just disappointed in the
whole thing. I believe that
its an honest mistake.
He said the biggest issue
was that as parents and
chaperones called the company to figure out what
was happening, the emergency option led them to
leave a message, but then
the opportunity to actually
leave the message never
came.
It wouldve helped if
First Student actually had
an emergency number that
was actually an emergency
number, he said.
First Student did not
return an email or phone
call requesting comment.
The group was able to
purchase tickets for an 11
p.m. Van Galder bus to
Madison, so although there
were moments of frustration, in the end its a happy
ending, Beauchamp said.

in the wind. Oh, its quiet again,

thats good, right? Or is it really,
really bad?
Fortunately, by the time we
had that dreadful thought, I was
able to finagle some TV reception again and see that the storm
had passed us for good. But we
couldnt shake that sinking feeling that not being on a farm or in
a trailer park or some rural subdivision wasnt going to protect us
from the fickle wrath of Mother
Nature.
It felt a little like running
across a lightly traveled freeway blindfolded chances are
well get to the other side, but
it wouldnt have anything to do
with our skill or strength or attention to detail, just dumb luck.
So I cant imagine what it must
feel like to be one of the families
whose homes got damaged on the
early morning of June 17. While
only a handful got hit so badly
they still couldnt return to their
homes that night, the better part
of two neighborhoods felt some
sort of direct impact, heard some
awful noise coming from their
house or watched a piece of their
property get torn away and dance
in the air.
I dont know how any of them
will ever sleep again through a
thunderstorm.
As if the late-night reprise
Sunday werent bad enough, the
weather didnt wait even one
more day to tease us with yet
another awful thunderstorm that
caused flooding all over Madison
and another screaming alert from
our cell phones.
Hearing the storm sirens come
on while I was still in the office
Monday evening and while
many people were either driving home or planning on it just
added to the feeling of helplessness. For the better part of an
hour, I and just about everyone
else in Dane County had to just
wait it out and hope we were
spared.
Thank goodness we were, and
thank goodness all this madness
seems to be finally over for a
while.
Odds and ends

The havoc of the tornado
brought out some good and bad
locally.
For one thing, recovery efforts
have been nothing short of
outstanding.
It was simply awesome to see
emergency responders and other
municipalities offering up all
the help they could. The initial
cleanup was beyond fast in
fact, ruining some photo opportunities like the downed stop sign
near my house that was already
repaired by 7 a.m.
The flip side of that was the
slow dissemination of information that really needs some work.
Sure, Im biased here, as it
affects how I do my job, but I
certainly wasnt alone in this
feeling, and the rise of instant,
prevalent social media has made
this even more important.
You cant have people kicked
out of their homes and a worry
about the possibility of downed
power lines and leaking gas lines
scaring an entire neighborhood
and have to wait four hours to
have a spokesperson available
to clear up information. In the
absence of facts, people will
make up their own, and that is
never a good thing.
Yes, I realize midnight is
not an ideal time, but the chain
of command needs to be more
responsive. The emergency
response plan must be more clear
and have more people available
to connect with the media even
the nontraditional, uncredentialed
media so people know what
they can and cant do and what
they should and shouldnt do.
It was a surreal experience
to see homes on the other side
of the street from the wanton
destruction virtually untouched,
to see residents that evening
straightening out their lawn decorations or looking for scratches.
Just some random, curious
facts here:
Only 622 of more than 20,000
summer tornadoes in the United
States since 1950 have been rated
EF3 or higher, according to a
map produced by the Washington
Post last week. Wisconsin is No.
10 in having the most tornadoes,
somehow two spots below Florida. But it was host to the nations
last F5, in 1996.

Dane County
County voters to weigh in on wages this fall

Minimum wage
referendum on
November ballot
Should Wisconsin
increase the minimum
wage to $10.10 an hour?
Thats a question Dane
County voters will get to
decide on in November
after the Dane County
Board of Supervisors last
week approved adding
it to the fall ballot. The
resolution reads, in part,
We can not expect Dane
County, Wisconsin, or
the nation to thrive and
recover from the current
economic downturn if
people working full time
jobs do not earn enough
money to surviveto feed
and house themselves, let
alone their children and
families.
Supervisor Carousel
Bayrd, the lead sponsor
of the resolution, said the
county is joining dozens
of other communities
across the state in an effort
to raise the minimum
wage from $7.25 per hour.
According to the resolution text, if the minimum
wage had kept pace with
inflation since 1968, it
would now be nearly $11
per hour.
Wisconsinites who
work a full days work
deserve enough money to
support themselves and
their families, she said.
Under the current minimum wage, it is impossible for full time Dane
County workers to feed
and house themselves.
We should be ashamed of
that. I am confident that
Dane County voters, and
voters across Wisconsin,
will support an increase

in the minimum wage, to
give all working families
and chance to survive and
thrive in Wisconsin.
Dane County Board
chair Sharon Corrigan said
raising the minimum wage
will lift thousands of
Wisconsinites out of poverty and reduce reliance on
government programs.
This referendum essentially asks Dane County
voters if they want to stop
subsidizing businesses
who pay their workers so
little that those workers
must rely on government
assistance to survive, she
said.
Dane County Clerk
Scott McDonell said the
referendum is not likely
to increase the cost of
conducting the November
election.

The last part is the obstacle course, in which horses

are driven through a cones
course. Horses are directed
through narrow obstacles
formed by the cones, which
have balls resting atop
them. Each ball dislodged
gains a penalty as the driver
races to meet the specified
time for the course.
The lowest score in each
division becomes the champion.
The competition will start
at 9 a.m. and go until about
5 p.m., with an awards ceremony. The community is
encouraged to stop by and

Marty-Schmid Family
Reunion scheduled for July 6
Descendants of the
Mathias and Susanna
(Schmid) Marty family will have their annual
reunion on Sunday, July 6,
at the Forest of Fame Park
in Mount Vernon. Mathias
and Susanna came over
to the United States from
Switzerland in 1884, settled in Mount Vernon and
raised 13 children.
The log cabin they lived
in is on the site of Dane
Countys Donald Park on
Hwy 92 between Mount
Vernon and Mount Horeb.
They lived for a time in the
Wisconsin Rapids area.
The family is attempting

to contact descendants of
the Christian and Susanna
Schmid family of Frietigen, Switzerland, to participate in this reunion and
meet relatives they probably did not know they had.
Some of Susannas brothers were Samuel, Peter,
Johannes and Jacob.
If you are a descendant of this Schmid family, please contact Linda
Marty Schmitz of Waunakee at 850-5400 to get
further information on the
reunion.

Be Yourself
All too often in life there is pressure to conform to what others think we should be. Parents may pressure their children
to be what they think of as ideal sons or daughters. Young
people feel the pressure of looking, talking and acting the
right way so that their peers will perceive them as being
cool. In our work lives we are expected to live up to the
organizations standards and to be the face of the organization while we are at work and representing them. And of
course we all think that everyone should believe as we do on
important matters of faith and morals. But, since God created us, then perhaps we should trust that our true nature
will not lead us astray. God has implanted instincts in all of
us which serve both for our own survival as well as for the
survival of the species as a whole. We spend too much time
and effort wearing masks when we should really just try to
be ourselves. How boring it would be if everyone conformed
to others standards. We should trust that God has made us
perfect in our own way and strive to be the best version of
ourselves that we can be.
- Christopher Simon via Metro News Service
Do not let your adorning be externalthe braiding of hair
and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you
wear but let your adorning be the hidden person of the
heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet
spirit, which in Gods sight is very precious.

A day in the field

Glacier Edge Elementary School, above, and New Century Elementary School, right, held their Field
Days in early June as an end-of-year celebration for students. The other elementaries in the Verona
Area School District also held field days in late May or later in June. The days provided a chance for
students to get outside, get some exercise and play fun games with each other.
Above, a GE class launches a group of balls using a quick down-up-down with the parachute. They
later all huddled inside of the chute, among other activities, at the June 6 event.
Above right, GE student Fletcher Hauski carries a plastic egg on a wooden spoon as part of a relay
race. The teams also took part in a sack race after the egg race.

The second annual Animal Hospital of Verona Dog
Wash and Brat Stand was a huge success. The organization washed over 50 dogs, sold almost 80 brats and
raised $1,450. Funds raised benefit the hospitals HelpA-Pet Fund (HAPF), established in 2000 to help cover
the cost of necessary medical care for patients whose
families need some assistance.
The funds are also used to help cover basic medical
costs for stray and surrendered animals while they are
in the hospitals care. In the past two years, the HAPF
has provided assistance to over 50 pets. Donations are
always accepted and much appreciated. A huge thank
you goes out to sponsors and all those that participated and staff members who gave up their time on a
Saturday to get dirty with the dogs.

hung from a sturdy oak
branch, survived unscathed.
Several hikers that night
at the shelter and nearby
are not as fortunate. Later,
thru-hiker Cruise shows me
his titanium spork, bent in a
lazy S. We laugh at what
a bear did to his eating
utensil. Still, Im saddened
by all this bear misbehavior. It seldom ends well for
panhandling bears that lose
their fear of humans. The
situation is almost always
caused by people with sloppy camping habits.
As I descend toward the
finish, I replay the varied
scenery and terrain Ive
walked through. In the
Grayson Highlands of Virginia, the green tunnel of
the A.T. yielded to scenery
reminiscent of a western
movie set. Boulder-covered
hills surround high plains
with grazing wild ponies.
I think about Memorial
Days unrelenting climb up
Beech Mountain to Buzzard
Rock. This heartbreaking
stretch gains 1,500 feet
of elevation in two miles.
I wondered if Id ever
reach the top. Once there, I
quickly picked a camping
spot in nearby woods. At
5,080 feet, Buzzard Rock
sits just below Whitetop
Mountain, once thought to
be the highest peak in Virginia.
Later, better surveys
gave the honor to nearby
Mount Rogers at 5,729
feet. Mountains like this are
quite a contrast to Wisconsins gentle hills.
Suddenly, the trail
reaches State Highway 11,
my destination. Across the
road, Sparky, Axe Man and
Waldo fill the benches at
a gas station. Im in luck.
Section hiker Waldo has
a shuttle coming to take
him back to Damascus. He
offers me and Sparky a free
ride to our motels.
In Marion, Va., I bid
Waldo farewell and begin
the task of washing clothes,
taking a much-needed
shower and eating copious
amounts of food. Tomorrow, its back to the world.

Ed Spoon is a Verona
resident who hiked 150 miles
on the Appalachian Trail in
May. Below is a first-person
account of his trip.
atures wake-up
comes early this
time of year. In my
ultra-light tent 40 yards
off the trail, the early birds
sound like theyre perched
on my sleeping bag.
Its day 14 of my 150mile section hike on the
Appalachian Trail. What a
spectacular Sunday morning to finish my hike. I
have a gentle seven miles
left an easy climb up
Glade Mountain, then
mostly downhill to the road
crossing near Atkins, Va.
This section hike began
in May, soon after my son
Evan graduated from the
University of WisconsinEau Claire. I flew to TriCities airport in northeast
Tennessee, where a local
hiker met me.
He dropped me off at
a trailhead outside Roan
Mountain, Tenn. A previous section hike ended
abruptly here two years ago
when some nasty-looking
weather convinced me
to quit early. That nasty
weather turned out to be
Superstorm Sandy winding
up for a sucker punch to the
East Coast.
On the trail ahead, I
wouldve slogged through
10-plus inches of heavy,
wet snow guaranteeing
wet boots, wet everything
with little chance of drying out. So, now Im back.
From here its 75 miles
through sparsely-settled
Tennessee mountains
to an overnight stop in
the famous trail town of
Damascus, Va. If all is
well, Ill leave Damascus,
bound for Atkins 75 miles
further up the trail.
On this gorgeous morning, my food bag is tiny.
It holds instant coffee, a
few bites of dried fruit
and some homemade oat
bark. Oat bark, a cousin to
homemade fruit jerky, is
quite good. On the trail, I
filter my drinking water,
heat enough to cook my
dried meals and enough
extra for a cup of tea. As
I munch the last of my
food, Sparky happens by
and spots my camp. Hes a
30-something information

London, England. Weve

Cavaliers: Two games scheduled this week

much in, Spencer said.

When I got my curveball
going about the third or
fourth inning, I had control of that pitch and kind
of kept (Ridgeway) off balance from there.
Verona (11-0) grabbed
the lead in the bottom of
the fourth after first baseman Matt Gust was hit by a
pitch and second baseman
Klayton Brandt reached
safely on a bunt single.
Right fielder Mitch Flora
tied the game on an RBI
single to center field, and
left fielder David Lund
gave the Cavaliers a 4-3
lead with a sacrifice fly
RBI.
If we are down, we
know it is a long game,
and we just need to keep
chipping away and putting
good swings on the ball,
Lund said.
Spencer followed with
an RBI single to make it
5-3, and he was a part of

the four-run eighth inning
as well.
Mitch Flora led off the
eighth with a single and
stole second, and Lund,
who was 3-for-4, blasted
an RBI double.
I was looking for good
pitches to hit, and I got
good pitches and put good
swings on them, Lund
said. If you put a good
swing on the ball, you get
good results usually.
Derek Burgenske followed with a bloop single
to center, and Spencer connected on a 2-run double to
make it 8-3. Spencer later
scored on an RBI single by
Landon Flora.
Ben Wallace came in to
pitch the ninth and picked
up a strikeout, a groundout
and a flyout after a lead-off
single to clinch the win.
Veronas first two runs
came in the bottom of the
third. Lund hit a one out
double, and Burgenske
followed with an RBI single. Burgenske later scored

on a passed ball.
Ridgeway scored a run
in the first inning and two
more in the third.
Spencer picked up the
win. He allowed three
earned runs on six hits in
eight innings. He struck
out five and walked one.
Spencer said that the
Cavaliers havent had a
full team for most of, if
not all, of the games so far,
so to be 11-0 puts the club
in a good position when
everyone does come back.
Once we get guys constantly being here and get
our normal lineup going, I
think we will be more dangerous and more intimidating at the plate, he said.
Verona plays twice this
weekend. The Cavaliers
travel to Mount Horeb/
Pine Bluff at 1 p.m. Friday,
July 4, and they host Dodgeville at 1 p.m. Sunday,
June 6.

Verona took the lead in the third inning
when Volker knocked in both David
Rogowski and Sam Favour, who had both
reached on singles.
Verona put the game away in the fourth
inning when Kleghorn hit a 2-run single,
scoring Jason Frahm and Jake Toman.
West 11, Verona 0 (5 inn)

The Wildcats fell 11-0 to Madison West
on June 17 at Stampfl Field.
Veronas young pitchers struggled early
giving up five first inning runs issuing five
walks and two hits. West took advantage of
three more walks over the next two innings
combined with four hits and four errors.
Madison Memorial 14, Verona 4

Verona also lost in five innings on June
24 to Madison Memorial, 14-4.
Memorial took advantage of four Verona errors in the first three innings to score
four unearned runs on only three hits. The
Spartans then broke through with 10 runs
on eight hits in the fifth.
Volker picked up the loss giving up four
unearned runs in the first 3 2/3 innings,
allowing three hits, three walks and four
strikeouts.
The offense was led by Volker and Kleghorn who each collected two hits.

Lawsuit: Appeal would need

to be filed by July 14
Ald. Luke Diaz (Dist.
3), who routinely votes
against holding discussions in closed session,
was the only member of the
council to speak about the
citys motion last week. He
uncharacteristically split
with Ald. Elizabeth Doyle
(D-4) in voting in favor.
This is a compromise
proposal, he said. I know
for a fact not everyone is
100 percent happy with
how everything has turned
out, but I think this motion
gives the city the best range
of options.
Burns said a draft settlement had been sent to
Local 311 lawyers, but a
response had not yet been
received as of Monday. He
said that given the upcoming holiday, a response
wasnt expected until next
week. The union could send
a counterproposal, Burns
said, and the Common
Council would discuss it at
a future meeting.
The city has until July 14
to decide whether to appeal
the injunction. Burns said
the city could also file the
appeal and later drop it if a
settlement is reached outside of court.
The six-month long legal
debate began at the end of
December 2013 when the
firefighters union filed a
lawsuit to block the city
from reorganizing the
department and holding and

open recruitment process.
Union lawyers contended
that the city was essentially
the same employer of the
firefighters as the Verona
Fire District because the
city had covered the lions
share of the budget. The
city had argued that the
new organization and oversight constituted a new
department and that officials were right to hold an
open recruitment process.
That process and the
decision not to hold an open
hiring for the fire chief was
decided by the citys Police
and Fire Commission,
though alders voted to fund
it.
Judge Anderson ruled in
favor of the union, declaring that the city was the
municipal employer of the
current union and that it
had to abide by the collective bargaining agreement
signed by the Verona Fire
District at the time, the
city and town of Verona
in 2012. That agreement
was automatically renewed
and in effect until Dec. 31,
2014.
Burns said he had not
recently seen updated costs
for the legal proceedings,
but he said the city already
had reached its $25,000
deductible for the case and
that current and future fees
are covered by the citys
insurance.

was determined that the man
had been kicked out and had
tried to return after standing
in the parking lot for ten minutes. The man was then told
to leave again and had to be
pushed aside from the doorway after trying to prevent the
employee from reentering the

bar. The man had been told
back in October that he was
no longer welcome at the bar,
and was warned for trespassing.
8:30 a.m. A 30-year-old

the woman, the neighbor had

Author: Attitudes about

Islam slow to change
DEBRA SEUBERT
His book addresses misconceptions about the religion and presents an overview through history on how
the nonviolent behavior of
Muslims has affected other
countries in a peaceful way.
It provides countless examples to support the idea that
the Islam religion means
peace and how threatening situations are dealt with
through nonviolent means.
Rockin with
Rhapsody
One example it mentions
is how Pakistans General Pervez Musharraf was
forced to relinquish power
in 2008, a result of the heavily populated country being
infiltrated by the strong, nonviolent activities of Muslims
and causing a shift in power.
Pals book explains how
Musharrafs support of militant groups to derail India,
his hatred for democracy
and his disrespect for womens rights created strength
among Muslims and Islam
as they unseated the dictator.
The Muslim league presided
over Pakistan as they sought
hope and the development of
a judiciary, according to the
book.
Around the same time,
non-violent Muslims and
Islam followers marched
on as they dethroned Asias
longest serving leader, Maumoon Abdul Gayoon of the
Maldives.
The liberating power
of nonviolence proved to
be too much for Gayoon,
and democracy prevailed,
according to the book.
But three years later, negative attitudes in America
prompted controversy when

Trade Center. Many people

found this idea offensive in
light the 9/11 attacks, Pal
explained.
Sufis, a mystical sect that
supports ideas of peace, love
and reconciliation, were
active in helping to plan the
construction of the mosque.
But Pal said people were not
so much concerned about the
construction of the mosque,
but with their distaste for
Islam.
Tainted attitudes
Though the followers of
the Islam religion represent peace, God-loving and
reaching compromises without the use of violence, Pal
said, such tainted attitudes
toward Muslims are widespread in America. Planned
mosques in California, Kentucky and lower Manhattan
all were condemned by the
public, Pals book explains.
He also noted what he
called an example of profiling, with the Los Angeles
Police Departments plan to
create a map detailing where
in the city there were high
concentrations of Muslims.
Changing this will require
American Muslims to do
more to educate people
about Islam, Pal said. Intense
media coverage of intolerance gives rise to more
young Muslims taking negative, violent paths, which
leads to further media-grabbing headlines, he said.
We have to emphasize the
alternative tradition of nonviolence within religion,
he said. Even if a few have
strayed over to the dark side
are prevented from doing so
by works such as mine, I will
have considered my project
successful.

During the presentation, he
had a lively dialogue with a
member of the audience who
was well versed in Sufism, a
particularly peaceful sect of
Islam. Other attendees asked
questions of Pal as the discussion ended.
Though many people have
an image of Islam as a violent religion, Pal explained
that statistics do not bear that
out. He said there are approximately 1.57 billion Muslims
around the world, including
about 2.5 million Americans. Though 1 in 15,000 is
recruited to get involved in
violent activity, it is the acts
of the few that have dominated public space, he said.

VACT: Council could weigh in on theater groups plans at July 14 meeting

programs to split into
groups and rehearse different parts of shows, VACT
hopes to have its own small
theater to put on smaller
performances.
In return for use of the
land, VACT would allow
the building to be used by
the citys recreation department and other groups.
If things move quickly,
the group could get an
agreement for use of the
property as soon as August.
That could mean construction next spring and a fall
2015 opening.
The latest plans, taking
the southern section of the
fire station lot, would nearly double the current facilitys space, to about 9,000
square feet.
It would have multiple
areas for kids to break out
and rehearse different parts
of shows. There will be
dance and music rooms,
costume storage and a setbuilding area. The small
stage could accommodate
148 audience members.

The Verona Area Community Theater group hopes to build a 9,000

square foot facility near the fire station.
It could also share some

parking with the fire department on busy nights. VACT
members have already discussed avoiding Mondays,
when firefighters hold their
weekly training sessions.
Baldock said the prairiestyle architecture would
match surrounding buildings, too.
Financial details
Financial details were
vetted during last Mondays
finance committee meeting.
Ald. Jack Linder (Dist.
2) played devils advocate
with city staff and representatives from the theater
group to make sure the
city needs the space and to
make sure all the logistical
The groups current facility on Bruce Street could be purchased by the city and used by the streets and
parks departments.
aspects of the move have

been covered. He asked
how useful the old building
would be for public works,
what it would cost to build
a new building or an extension of the current facility
if the city doesnt come to
a deal and how soon more
space would be needed.
The committee also
discussed arrangements
that would accommodate
the financing and timing of
the fire station construction.
One possibility is the group
could lease the land near
the fire station temporarily
and the city could purchase
the old building in the 2015
budget cycle, staff said.
The city has proposed
a few other locations in

recent years, but none have
worked out.
One option was to have a
second location across the
street, at Firemans Park.
That would be more expensive, VACT representatives
Dvorak and Dick Vock said
last week. A new location
in the Meister Addition to
the Westridge Estates subdivision was received poorly by neighbors because of
concerns about additional
traffic and having a large
building in a neighborhood
park.
City staff then came up
with the idea for the lot
near the fire station. Baldock and Dvorak said its
ideal because its a walkable destination for some
participants and it cuts their
costs by lumping in stormwater management as part
of the new fire stations
construction.
Details about the plans
and what the city might
support will likely be discussed at the next finance
committee meeting and
Common Council meeting this month. Both those
meetings are planned for
Monday, July 14.
