It didn’t take long for the Veronafreshman football team to show itssupport of friend and teammate SantiGarrido.

Before the season started, Garridowas diagnosed with bone cancer inhis leg. That Aug. 6 diagnosis meantchemotherapy and an eventual sur-gery (scheduled for mid-November)and missing out on the entire season.

So the team – with several play-

ers who have known him as far back

as youth football in third grade oreven earlier – came up with an ideato show he was a part of the group:They each wore wrist bandages withGarrido’s initials at the Sept. 20game against Madison Memorial.

The players made sure it waswithin the rules and made it happenbefore coaches Andy Kruger or JohnCampbell even knew about it.

Garrido, feeling a little betterMonday after a rough couple of weeks, smiled as he reflected on thatmoment while lying on his couch.

“They have been all cool with it

since they knew,” he said. “Verona isreally tight. … Everyone was like, wereally needed Garrido on the field.”

That only reinforced his moti-vation to be able to play again bynext season. He’s already thinkingabout training as he finishes his ini-tial treatment, which is nine weeks,depending on how well he feels andthe blood counts after chemotherapysessions.

And he’s been coming to practiceand watching games as much as his

Bold libraryrequest spursbudget debate

Verona Press Editor

The battle that’s beenquietly brewing over nextyear’s library budget hasmade its way to the Financecommittee.

Verona Public Librarydirector Brian Simons’call for as many as 11 newemployees – about eightfull-time equivalents – gotstrongly mixed reactionslast week and is likely tobecome the most heavilydiscussed topic prior to thecity’s publication of thebudget Nov. 7.

That audacious requesthas overshadowed presen-tations by the fire, police,public works and plan-ning departments, all seek-ing additional staff hours,

as well as plans to get

part-time administrativehelp.

It’s hardly unusual for acity department to ask formore help than it expects toreceive – that’s what allowselected officials to set prior-ities – but if all the LibraryBoard’s wishes were grant-ed, the city’s budget wouldrise by a half-million dol-lars in 2014 for the libraryfunding alone and nearlydouble the city’s 2013 con-tribution.

That would amount to a 7percent increase on the taxbill, or about $100 per yearon the average home.

There’s been no argu-men t tha t the Ve ronalibrary is one of the shiningexamples of the city’s highservice levels. After all, it

Surprise pumpkin patch at NCS Harvest FestNew Century Charter

School hosted its annualHarvest Festival Friday,and kids were surprisedwith a pumpkin patch in theschool’s front yard to beginthe day. The festival lastedfrom 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. andallowed kids an opportunityto play with dirt and pump-kins while also teaching

them math and science les-sons.

The children first made“wormeries ,” or smallworm habitats. Teachersand parent volunteers gavechildren information on theconcept of growing wormsand how that relates tocomposting.

Students also had the

opportunity to pick a pump-kin out of the pumpkinpatch and measure its cir-cumference and weight.After they had their mea-surements, they placed“pumpkin tickets” on twographs, one for circumfer-ence and one for weight,allowing them to see therelationship between the

measurements. Then, kidscompleted a “Harvest FestChallenge Packet,” whichrequired them to work onmath and writing challeng-es relating to the measure-ments they made.

Founder: Michael’s closed

for winter, could reopenscott gIrArd


Michael’s Frozen Cus-tard closed its doors Oct. 12for the winter, and possiblyfor good after more than 25years in Verona.

Michae l ’ s CE O and

founder Michael Dix toldthe Verona Press Wednes-day he has put the propertyup for sale and is “feelingout the market” during thewinter.

“If somebody’s goingto want to do somethingthey’re probably going tobuy it in winter and open in

spring,” said Dix, who citeda focus on developing morein the Madison area as hisreason for looking to sell.

If it hasn’t sold by spring,however, Dix said he wouldexpect to reopen the restau-rant around March 15.

The fast food and frozen

custard spot came to thecity in 1987, and for years itwas the hottest spot aroundtown for families, kids andanyone just passing by.

In the past two decades,however, places such asCulver’s , McDonald’s ,Chocola te Shoppe andDairy Queen have movedin, along with the upcoming

opening of Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt, adding tothe fast food and dessertcompetition in the area.

Dix said there has so farbeen “a lot of interest” inthe location, including fromTaco Bell and other restau-rants.

The restaurant building isselling along with the houseproperty next door, at 407-409 W. Verona Ave., for atotal of one acre, said JohnWalsh, who is in charge of the property for Lee andAssociates.

The current asking priceis $595,000, he said.

Verona Area School District

Board passes technology check-out policyscott gIrArd


The Verona Area SchoolBoard passed a policy Mon-day that would allow stu-

dents to take technologydevices such as iPads orChromebooks home withthem from the classroom.

The policy comes as thedistrict expands the tech-nology it uses in class-rooms, specifically in thenew Exploration Academyhigh school, which will bethe only school to use thetechnology policy for now.

“We’re going to startsmall, if they feel there’sa readiness level or somespecific circumstances …to bring those forward,”said district technologydirector Betty Wottreng.

“Right now we’re lookingat Exploration Academy as

being our first run.”The policy will offer par-

ents a chance to pay a $20fee that would limit theirliability to $100 for thefirst incident if the device

is damaged or lost whileit’s outside of the school.Parents would also havethe option to opt out of thefee, but would then haveto cover the entire cost torepair the device in the caseof damage.

Board member JoanneGauthier worried about par-ents who would not wantthe devices brought home,but eventually the groupagreed finding out the scopeof that issue will be part of the experimental processthis policy goes through inits first year.

“What steps will be tak-

en if a parent says ‘I don’twant this at home?’ How is

each teacher going to knowthat’s what’s happened?”Gauthier said.

Wottreng and the boarddecided to add options to aweb portal that is currently

being built offering parentsthe option to either pay thefee, not pay the fee but havethe device and be liable fordamage or refuse to have thedevice sent home.

While only the Explora-tion Academy will use thepolicy this fall, Wottrengsaid middle schools mightuse it second semester.Regardless of what happensthis year, she and superin-tendent Dean Gorrell saidthe need will only continueto grow.

“There will come a dayin the not-too-distant futurewhere there will be more

devices that will be mobileand have the opportunity to

go home, and if we have theopportunity for a dry run…I don’t think that’s a badthing,” Gorrell said.

The policy passed unani-mously.

Open Enrollment

numbersGorrell gave the board the

final third Friday attendancecount in the district, includ-ing a summary of openenrollment.

The district has 257 totalstudents open enrolling intoVASD, and 115 open enroll-ing out, including 65 newstudents this year.

However, Gorrell notedthat 50 of the 65 new openenrollment out students havenever attended a VASDschool, meaning their fami-lies have recently movedbut wanted to continue their

schooling where they hadbeen previously.

VASD business managerChris Murphy said the dis-trict should expect to see acontinued increase in open

enrolling out students dueto changes in the laws anda larger window to requestopen enrollment.

“We still have a big posi-tive net, but that increasedefinitely went up this year.With what we’re seeing inthe way the laws are andthe window being bigger,I think that’s somethingthat we’ll continue to see,”Murphy said, adding thatopen enrollment revenueis always on a year-to-yearbasis and used for one-timeexpenditures.

Substitute teacher

pay

T he boa rd vo ted toincrease pay for substituteteachers in the district from$102 per day to $112.

VASD director of humanservices Jason Olson noted

the average among DaneCounty school districts is$110.73, so the district hadtrouble finding subs at cer-tain points this year.

The $112 rate is on parwith Middleton and McFar-land, and Murphy said theincrease could cost the dis-trict up to around $70,000.

Budget ScheduleThe board also approved

the schedule for planningthe 2014-15 budget.

The c i t izens’ budgetmeeting will be June 3, 2014and the budget hearing andannual meeting will take

place Aug. 18, 2014.

City of Verona

Fire station group to pick project managermArk IgnAtowskI


Planning for a new firestation is under way, but itapparently won’t begin inearnest until a project man-ager has been hired by thecity.

The city’s ad hoc PublicSafety facilities commit-

tee hopes to interview and aselect a project manager bythe end of this month, but itstill needs to narrow down alist of potential candidates.At a meeting last week, thegroup voted to have citystaff trim a list of six can-didates who responded to arequest for proposals for theproject manager position.

The city has already hiredFive Bugles of Eau Claireto serve as the architect forthe project; however, SteveGausman of Five Buglestold the committee that thecompany would like to havea project manager for thecity on board soon so theycan work together before theconstruction phase starts.

“I would like to get themon board as soon as pos-sible,” Gausman said.

Having a project manageris new territory for Verona,

which had the public worksdirector oversee construc-tion of its last major munici-pal building, Verona CityCenter. The PM’s job is tooversee the details that gointo the construction of thenew station.

There are several ways thecontract with the construc-tion management company

could be structured, but ingeneral, the constructionmanager oversees the con-tracts for the project andmakes sure the work meetsthe city’s standards, Gaus-man said. The idea is to keepthe financial aspects of theproject transparent and keepconstruction companies onschedule.

When public works direc-tor Ron Rieder oversawconstruction of VeronaCity Center, the job wastime-consuming. The com-mittee has informally rec-ommended hiring an out-side construction managerfor the fire station project,

something that the CommonCouncil first discussed lastyear.

The committee receivedsix proposals for the proj-ect manager position forthe fire station project.

Four companies – Findorff,Kraus-Anderson, Tri-Northand Vogel Bros. – wouldprovide a project managerand a construction superin-tendent who is onsite duringconstruction.

Two smaller firms – Fishand Associates and HomanConstruction – would havethe construction manager

also serve as the superinten-dent for the project. Somecommittee members hadconcerns about the smallercompanies being able tohandle the workload of thefire station project in addi-tion to other jobs.

Costs for the constructionmanager fees ranged from$70,000 to $280,000, basedon an estimated $7 millionproject. However, severalfirms were unclear aboutwhat items would be reim-bursed and what costs werecovered under the con-struction management fee.

City administrator BillBurns planned to get more

information about thereimbursable costs for eachfirm before the next com-mittee meeting, at 4 p.m.Oct. 29.

Police RePoRtsReports collected from the

log book at the Verona PoliceDepartment.

July 285:29 p.m. Two young juve-

nile males were seen strug-gling with one another on the500 block of Melody Lane bypolice. It was discovered thatthe two were twin brothers,and one was attempting tostop the other from runningaway from home until their

older brothers arrived. Therunaway twin was found withhalf of a wooden-tipped cigarand finally agreed to go home.

10:27 p.m. A 49-year-oldwoman was arrested for herfirst OWI after police receiveda report of a vehicle drivingpoorly on Main Street. Thewoman was taken into cus-tody after she refused breathtests.

Letters to the editor

Hometown USA moniker fits city I never thought much about

Verona’s moniker, “HometownUSA,” in my first dozen or soyears as a teacher and counselorin the Verona Area School Dis-trict. Then, on July 27, 2012, we

moved into a house where we cansee the lights of the VAHS foot-ball field from our back windows.I have appreciated HometownUSA every day since.

In the past year, we have bikedto various locations for coffee andice cream cones, Miller’s for gro-ceries, Rhapsody for classes, thelibrary for their summer readingprogram, and everywhere fromEagles Nest to Verona Beach forthe Verona Recreation Depart-ment’s summer park program.We’ve walked to catch the IronMan, eat out, watch VAHS andBadger Middle School sports andtheatre productions, and to see myhusband’s band when it played atHarriet Park’s concert series.

As much as we appreciate theconvenience of our location andits amenities, it’s the heartbeat of Verona that has touched us. Thepark behind our house has pro-vided endless opportunities toplay and converse with friendlyneighbors and passers-by. Last

December, we put a Little FreeLibrary in our front yard, andwithin months, it was, and still is,self-sustaining.

Last spring, we felt the warmembrace of the Verona Area Com-

munity Theater family when ourson participated in one of theirspring productions. Our son toldus yesterday that his Kindergartenteacher at Country View makesthings so fun that students don’teven know they’re learning. And,since school started, we’ve beenexchanging anonymous greetingswith another bike-commuter whocrosses our path. My son honkshis horn, and she shouts, “Goodmorning!”

How exciting that our son willforever know Hometown USA ashis hometown. We are gratefulto the residents, business own-ers, school employees, govern-ment workers and politicianswho give of themselves to make

Verona a friendly, affordable, andsafe place to raise a family, andan excellent location to receive apublic education.

Thanks for sharing different opinionsI would like to thank Mr.

His strong opinions have been

invaluable to me in teaching myboys how a set of circumstancescan be viewed so differently byindividuals.

Glad we all have the ability to

relay those opinions, no matterhow irrational they may appear,as often as we would like withoutrepercussions.

Last week’s letter was particu-

larly helpful.

very year, state golf is two

days of walking UniversityRidge Golf Course – linedwith colorful trees and rollinghills – while the golfing commu-nity follows each swing and putt.

And yet, most years, betweenthe smiles, tears and trophy pre-sentations, something is missing.Somethingseems off asgirls are beingmobbed byfriends, fam-ily and media,when camerasclick and cheerserupt from thegallery.

Is it becauseseveral ranked

teams through-out the season weren’t there?Could it be that many girls whohad averages worthy of a statetournament were either in streetclothes walking with the galleriesinstead of challenging the field?

For the past 10 years, this hasbeen normal for teams in theBadger South, Badger North andBig Eight for both the girls andboys. It carries a danger of teach-ing golfers that hard work doesn’talways pay off.

Where is the reward when play-ers who shoot lower than two-thirds of the other golfers missstate?

This girls golf season had the

No. 1, No. 2, No. 4, No. 8 andNo. 10 teams in the state. Thismeans there were no more thantwo ranked teams in any othersectional.

I am not arguing that otherteams in the state shouldn’t have achance. They should. But it’s notfair for some girls to never makestate simply because they play inthe toughest sectional every year.

Look at this year’s girls golf state tournament and the slowplay. There were hour-longwaits on the turn in day one and30-minute waits on day two.

That was because of slowerplay by teams with significantlyhigher averages than the rankedfield.

It was even worse in Division

2, where Madison Edgewood– ranked with D1 schools all year– won by 21 strokes and had 50strokes on the third-place finisher.Edgewood’s score would havebeen fifth in Division 1.

While it is great that teams fromaround the state have a chance tomake the field, there’s somethingwrong when the sectional is moredifficult to win than state itself.

Sure, rankings are subjective,but it is no fluke that the MadisonWest sectional had the best teamsin the state.

These teams battled it out allseason in different tournamentsand posted low scores on difficultgolf courses all year. While therecan be a plus-or-minus based on

who is voting, there should beno question whether these teamsdeserved their ranking.

That sectional had some toughstories this year.

No. 4 Stoughton, for instance,would have made state in fourother sectionals based on its score,but it missed out by five strokes.

Individual qualifiers are evenmore of a problem.

Verona’s Jessica Reinecke andStoughton’s Becky Klonglandboth made state out of the Madi-son West sectional, which wasexpected with their low scoringaverages. But that left only oneother spot open for a state berth inthat sectional.

Oregon’s Morgan McCorklemissed state, and based on herscore, she would have made thecut in two different sectionals thisyear – Hartford Union and LaCrosse Central. McCorkle wastied for 29th at state when Oregonwent as a team in 2011 but neverhad an opportunity to get back.

There have been several ideasfloating around to fix this, but it’snot as easy as simply breakingup ranked teams at the end of theyear.

The WIAA groups teams basedon region to reduce travel, and thelogistics of making a change areextremely difficult. Golf coursesneed to be reserved, which iswhy groupings are out before the

season even starts.

The WIAA could guess andsplit up teams, but that couldbackfire. And some years, thatwould mean sending teams to theMilwaukee or far north courses.

But there are two other ideasI can get excited for – reducingdivisions and creating a wildcardqualifying system.

Some believe that going back to one division, at least in girlsgolf, could help. There would bemore qualifiers and there wouldbe more regionals, reducing thechance of having several rankedteams in one tournament.

But smaller schools wouldlikely lose out. A school with 300students has a more difficult timebuilding a program than one with

1,500.Something must be done, how-

ever to avoid rewarding medioc-rity. Talent rises, and hard work should pay off in the end. If aschool, regardless of its size, putsin the effort and starts junior golf programs, it will be able to havequality teams via for a state berthmost years.

As for individuals, wildcardsappear to be the best option. If you reduce the number of auto-matic qualifiers and allow a wild-card selection based on seasonaverage for the rest of the field,then add sectional scores as a tie-breaker, there would be no ques-tion of who deserves what.

The best golfers would go tostate. Period.Maybe these ideas – based on

conversations with coaches andmedia in the state – aren’t theanswer, but spreading awarenessof this problem is important. Leftunchecked, this system will con-tinue to leave deserving athletesoff the state golf courses.

I hope the WIAA realizesthat something must be done tomake sure those who deserve therewards are the ones receiving it.

Verona Police Department

DEA take-back initiative Oct. 26 collects unused medications

T h e V e r o n a P o l i c eDepartment will be partner-ing with the Drug Enforce-ment Agency (DEA) to hostits first National Prescrip-tion Drug Take-Bake Ini-tiative on Oct. 26 from 10a.m. to 2 p.m. at the VeronaPolice Department.

The Take-Back aims toprovide a safe, convenient,

and responsible means of disposing of prescription

drugs, while also educatingthe general public about thepotential for abuse of medi-cations. On the above date,the Verona Police Depart-ment will accept unused,unwanted, or expired pre-scription drug medicationwhich you may find in yourmedicine cabinet, bedsidetables, and kitchen drawers.

Unused m edica t ionsin homes create a public

health and safety concern,because they are highly sus-ceptible to accidental inges-tion, diversion, misuse, andabuse. Rates of prescrip-tion drug abuse in the U.S.are alarmingly high--moreAmericans currently abuseprescription drugs thanthe number of those usingcocaine, hallucinogens, and

heroin combined, accordingto the most recent National

Survey on Drug Use andHealth. The majority of abused prescription drugsare obtained from familyand friends, including fromthe home medicine cabinet.

For safety reasons, wewill not accept sharps,inhalers, or anything underpressure. The service is freeand anonymous, no ques-

tions asked.

The Value of Fasting

There are lots of good reasons to limit our intake of food, rangingfrom health and financial reasons to emotional and spiritual ben-efits. An ancient idea that has recently gained traction is the prac-tice of fasting. Instead of trying to limit one’s calories each andevery day, some scientists are proposing the idea of Alternate-

Day Fasting or ADF. ADF regimens typically allow the person (or

animal, lots of experiments have been done using rats and mice)to eat whatever he or she wants one day and then requires them

to fast or consume a very limited number of calories the nextday. More research needs to be done, but preliminary findings

are promising, suggesting that ADF may reduce the risk of diabe-tes, heart disease and even cancer. Some are even suggesting wecould live longer if we followed an ADF regimen. But, how mightsuch a regimen benefit us emotionally and spiritually? Fasting

and self-mortification can obviously be taken to extremes wherethey become unhealthy and even life-threatening. But, most ofus suffer from the opposite problem: we are too self-indulgent.Delayed gratification and a sense of accomplishment is one of

the byproducts of a successful fast. Eating can bring momentarypleasure but controlling one’s appetites gives a deeper sense of

lasting joy.

– Christopher Simon via Metro News Service

“When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, forthey disfigure their faces to show others they are fasting.”

Matthew 6: 16

New vet aims to stay ‘True’Scott Girard


True Veterinary Careopened two months ago inVerona, and veterinarianSarah Kalstrup wants to besure to stay “true” to thecompany name.

“I want to be honest, Iwant to listen to people,”she said, adding that vet-erinary decisions must bemade for both the animaland the family. “I hate…when (vets) try and talk likethey’re above you.”

Kalstrup said it was “timefor me to do my own thing”after working at a seriesof clinics since graduatingfrom the University of Wis-consin-Madison vet schoolnine years ago.

T h a t “ o w n t h i n g ”involves also staying true to

the community around her,with the office featuringpaintings of animals froma local artist, blinds from aVerona company and work-ing together with other vetclinics already in the area.

“Whenever we can we

use local,” Kalstrup, wholives in Monticello, said.

Kalstrup has enjoyedworking with the otherlocal vet clinics in the area,saying that while they canprovide plenty of care at herclinic, the emergency clinicmight be better suited forcertain situations and thatother clinics may specializein exotic animals that shedoes not.

“There’s no reason to bein competition,” she said.“There’s plenty of pets inthis area. I love workingwith my local vets.”

The True clinic focuseson dogs and cats, Kalstrupsaid, and that has made uptheir client base so far forthe most part.

She said that while sheis the vet in the family, she“could not have done this

without” her husband Tom,who helped to researchequipment and other tech-nical aspects involving thebuilding itself.

T h e c l i n i c , l o c a t e dacross from Gray’s TiedHouse a t 901 Kimbal lLane, Sui te 1500, fea-tures two exam roomswith fold-down tables andL-shaped benches, a digi-tal X-ray machine and asurgery room.

More than yoga at this studioScott Girard


A new place for “well-n e s s - m i n d e d p e o p l e ”opened last month in Vero-na, and offers a wide range

of practices within its space.Therapeutic Bodywork

and Movement, located inSuite 109B at 161 HorizonDr. (next to The Fifth Quar-ter), is owned by JenniferGetz, who lives in Veronawith her family.

Her studio, which openedSept. 3, offers space to“independent contractors”to use for teaching theirc lasses , which inc ludeyoga, tai chi, personal train-ing and massage therapy.She allows each instructorto run their own business.

“A lot of studios have afocus,” she said, mention-

ing yoga or pilates as exam-ples. “But there aren’t a lotof places you can go thatare all in one.”

G e t z s a i d s h e p r e -fers “instructors who arecommitted” to the area,

generally only offeringsix-month or longer leases,with a few exceptions.

The renters include expe-rienced instructors whobrought clientele with themas well as people “building

from the ground up,” whoare working to grow theirclient base.

Pau l Mros s , a yogainstructor, has taught yogafor 13 years but is excitedto bring his class to Verona,where he previously had nopresence.

“I do a lot of rural yogaclasses, and I think trying toget access to yoga is reallyimportant,” he said.

He said TBM first attract-ed him because of Getz’sconcept of bringing manydifferent therapeutic prac-tices to the area.

“I think the whole con-

cept of what she’s tryingto do is great,” he said.“Verona doesn’t really havea strong presence for yogaspecifically, and I think it’sgoing to be a good thing forthe community.”

Getz and the renters arealso working toward holding“community nights” four

to six times a year at whichinstructors will offer mini-courses at a discount, withthe money going to charitiesaround the area.

Advance Auto Parts opens in VeronaScott Girard


A new auto parts storeopened in Verona Oct.18, bringing a years-longsaga involving the prop-erty to a conclusion.

T h e n e a r l y 7 , 0 0 0square foot AdvanceAuto Parts store is new toVerona, with the closestprevious location for thebusiness in Stoughton.

Years ago, the lot washome to the GrandviewMotel, but since that wastorn down it has seenprospective tenants comeand go, including a bank.

The area also sat asan empty lot for years,which led to people leav-ing cars and other items forsale on the property untilthe city council passed anordinance banning thatpractice.

Construction workersbroke ground on the facil-ity around May, and it took

just one week to fi ll thebuilding with auto suppliesranging from air freshenersto oil once the work wascomplete.

The Verona Chamber of Commerce held a ribboncutting ceremony Friday towelcome the business.

The store is open 7:30-9

p.m. Monday through Sat-urday, and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.Sundays.

While Wilson and her partner junio r Steph Ker yluk wer en’ t ateam a lot of people were expectingmuch from, the duo with somethingto prove, went on to advance all theway to the round of 16 at the WIAADivision 1 individual state tennistournament.

“I think we proved ourselves aftergetting in as special qualifiers,” Wil-son said. “We got a lot farther than Ithought we would.”

Keryluk trusted that the Wildcats

1 doubles team would reach stateshortly after she and Wilson were puttogether.

“We work really well togetherand feed off one another’s energy,”she said. “So I feel like (head coachMark) Happel and (assistant coachNancy) Platto kind of figured fromthe beginning of the season wewould make it here.”

Burlington and Badger entered thestate as the top two seeds from theLake Geneva sectional, and specialqualifier Verona ended the seasonsof both teams.

Wilson and Keryluk (13-10)opened the tournament, defeatingBurlington seniors Olivia Lueck

and Alli Zeman 6-0, 7-5 on Thurs-day. The win advanced Verona intothe second round, where they faceda Badger doubles team of juniorsJoanie Williams and Andrea Chiro-nis that hadn’t lost a match all sea-son. That is until Keryluk and Wilson

found a way to dig themselves out of a 4-1 hole in the second set to takethe match 2-6, 7-6 (4), 6-2.

“This team has been streaky allyear,” Happel said. “They can rattleoff five or six in a row just as easy asthey can give them back.”

The second-round win secureda second team all-state spot for thesecond straight year for Verona.

Wilson and Keryluk finally sawtheir season come to an end Fridayafternoon, falling 6-1, 6-0 to KettleMoraine junior Haley Reynolds andsenior Maddie Strunsee (27-8).

While Wilson had played the sameteam earlier in the season with a dif-ferent partner (Anna Maria Hadjiev),

she said, “I don’t really remembertoo much from the previous match,but I would have to say they weredefinitely better than I remember.”

Happel was quick to put things inperspective, even if his doubles teamwasn’t quite ready.

“If you had told those twothat they were going to be sec-ond team All-State 48 hours ago,they would have probably beengiddy,” he said. “It’s tough to loseyour final match like that, butKettle Moraine was just on fire.“I talked to the Kettle Morainecoach, who I’ve known for a longtime and he said it’s the best he’sever seen them play. That’s hard todeal with. They weren’t missing any-thing.”

Top-seeded twins Shelby and TillyChorney (19-1) lived up to their bill-ing, becoming the first area doublesteam since Annie Nelson and EmilyAppen in 1994 to win a state title

with a 3-6, 6-3, 6-2 victory againstsenior Mardee Merar and freshmanKatya Mikhailanko (32-2).

Verona also saw one of its twosingles players advance through the

Junior Ryan Nameth ranto a runner-up finish at theBig Eight Conference meetfor the second straight yearSaturday at Rockport Park inJanesville.

Nameth, who has yet to beMadison West junior OlinHacker head to head finished

three seconds behind hisrival, in 15 minutes, 26 sec-onds.

“I was happy to set a newPR, but I was trying to winthe race,” Nameth said.

Wildcats head coachRandy Marks meanwhilesaid, “Ryan has progresseddespite his five months of lost training last winter andspring,” he said. “He hasclosed the gap on Olin andstill has a shot at a state title.

“I am sure he would haverather won the Big Eight titlebut we can’t control howother people run. We canonly control ourselves, and Ibelieve he is doing very wellat that.”

Hacker’s finish, alongwith the Regents placing allfive varsity scorers in the top18, was enough to help theRegents defend their confer-ence title with a team scoreof 47. Trailing the Regentsby nine points through threerunners, Madison La Fol-lette (49) fell just short of West, even though the Lanc-ers’ fourth and fifth runnersactually placed ahead of theirRegent counterparts.

Verona finished a distantthird overall as a team with92 points – 43 behind Madi-son La Follette, but well

ahead of fourth place Mid-dleton (139).

It was all over in a flash.That is what senior quarterback John Tack-

ett and the rest of the Verona Area HighSchool varsity football seniors thought fol-lowing Friday’s 38-21 loss to Madison Westin week 9.

The loss not only ended Verona’s sea-son (4-5), but it also ended a streak of ninestraight playoff berths that went from 2004-2012.

“It has flown by. I have been playing withthese guys since fourth grade. It is crazy. I amnever going to play a down with those guysagain,” Tackett said. “It is definitely hardmoving on.”

It didn’t always look like the Wildcatswould be returning their equipment earlyduring the game. Verona held a 14-6 lead athalftime – holding the Regents to 134 yardsof total offense and picking up 148 on theground alone – but that changed quickly inthe third quarter.

After a fumble by junior running back CaseBaio, West just needed three plays to score.Senior quarterback Adrien Reilly foundsenior wide receiver Christian Graf on a20-yard touchdown pass.

Reilly followed that up with a pass to seniorwide receiver Malik Clements for the 2-pointconversion to tie the game at 14.

Verona junior running back Eric Schmidthen followed the next drive with three runsof 34 yards to bring the ball to the West46-yard line, but Tackett was picked off onthe next play.

Again, it only took three plays for West toscore as Reilly found senior wide receiverTerrell McFadden for a 54-yard touchdown.

“They are just tough to stop,” Verona headcoach Dave Richardson said. “They have a lotof athletes who can spread the field, and theyare going to get big plays.”

The Verona offense once again stalled onthe next drive, and a fake punt gave Westanother short field. Two plays later, Reilly

Verona goalie Connor Rortvedt (right) is about to make one of his eight saves during the WIAA D-1Regional final with Madison Memorial Friday at Breese Stevens Field in Madison. Memorial defeatedVerona 2-0.

Wildcats shut out by SpartansAnthony Iozzo


Two first half goals were too much for theVerona boys soccer team to overcome in lastFriday’s 2-0 loss to Madison Memorial in aWIAA Division 1 regional final at Breese Ste-vens Field.

Junior Hunter Brandon made a big blow inthe 36th minute to make it 2-0 before halftime.

Head coach Jake Andreska said that whilethe goal made it tougher, he told his team athalftime that one goal could change all themomentum.

But the Wildcats needed to win 50-50 balls

and control the center-midfield to stop Memo-rial’s attack, Andreska said.“That is what gave them a lot of the posses-

sion, and it is hard to stop them from there,”he said.

Junior Ty Pelton Bryce broke a scoreless tiein the 20th minute for the only other goal of the game.

Senior goalie Connor Rortvedt finished hishigh school career with eight saves, whileMemorial junior goalie Paul Koebke-Barsicpicked up three.

Verona finishes the season 17-5-1 and lostfor the second time against Memorial this sea-son. The first game was a 3-2 overtime lossafter Verona held a 2-0 lead at halftime.

Andreska said the season was a successdespite the loss, especially with Verona

knocking off Madison West for the first timesince Andreska became a coach at Verona andalso taking third in the Big Eight Conference.

“It is a huge stepping stone with our pro-gram itself,” he said. “It shows we can playwith those type of teams, and hopefully wecan build off that success for the future.”

Seniors Joe Stevens, Pat Stevens, GarrettGrunke, Christian Perez, Ben Solomon, Har-ry Seid, Santi Azcarate, Shaman Zaman andSam Douglass and Rortvedt all played in theirfinal high school soccer game.

Andreska said the seniors brought leader-ship this season, helping the team jell on-and-off the field. He hopes that is passed down to

the returners.The Wildcats return juniors Kye Hanson,Casey Thompson, Evan Bailey, Kyle Mon-son, Sawyer Quade, Nicolas Graese and Con-lin Bass and sophomore Robert Wagman, allof whom received significant playing time thisyear.

Juniors Kevin Cashman and Kenny Gomez-Cruz also return.

In the net, the loss of Rortvedt will bebig, but junior Alex Hofstetter was able toget some experience this season and will beexpected to be the replacement next year.

Andreska said these players will be the“heart of the team.”

“We are excited for next year,” he said.“We are losing a lot, but we have a lot of experience back from this year.”

first round on Thursday as sophomore GretaSchmitz defeated fellow special qualifier,Whitefish Bay senior Asia Butler 6-3, 3-6(10-8) in the opening round.

Schmitz went on to fall 6-0, 6-0 in thesecond round of the tournament to ninth-seeded senior Emily Mone of Nicolet. “Idon’t really know why, but I was freakedout and really nervous for my secondmatch,” Schmitz said. “Those nerves neverreally left.”

With a her first state experience out of theway, Schmitz said she’ll be more a lot more

confident entering next season.“It was a great experience, I am hoping Ican earn my way back again next season,”she said.

Hadjiev ran into an undefeated Emily

Oberwetter (28-0) of Middleton in her firststate appearance. Simply describing theexperience as “scary” Hadjiev fell 6-2, 6-2.

Happel simply hopes the experiencemakes Schmitz and Hadjiev hungrier.

“I hope it makes them both want to work on their game to get better and get to thatnext level, which is hardest level to get too,”he said. “Getting here is really hard, but get-ting in that top 16 or top 8, that’s going totake a lot of work and hopefully it’s some-thing they are looking forward too.”

West Bend West freshman Lexi Keberle,entered the tournament as the second seedwith a 25-0 record but went on to add fivemore victories on her way to knocking off

defending state champion Emily Konon of Homestead 6-4,0-6, 6-3 in the champion-ship match. The loss snapped a 108-matchwinning streak for Konon, who battled legcramps for most of the third set.

threw a dart to Clements for a 21-yardtouchdown.

Richardson said the opening of the sec-ond half was what did the Wildcats in.

“Those first three possessions were kill-ers,” Richardson said. The game wasn’tover then, but it sure built their momen-tum and turned the game around a littlebit.”

Verona wasn’t done yet. Tackett, whotook a vicious hit on the previous fakepunt, powered his way to the end zonewith a 3-yard gain and a 2-yard touch-down run to cut West’s lead to 28-21.

“I was pretty dizzy, so I couldn’t tellwhat everyone else was doing, but theuplift was pretty good,” Tackett said. “Itis the last game of the year, and I can’tlet anything hold me back. I always toldmyself to get up. As long as you can getup, you can play.”

Tackett also picked up a pair of touch-down runs in the first half. He rushed

seven yards on the first drive to break ascoreless tie, and he added a 5-yard runwith five minutes to go in the secondquarter to make it 14-0.

That final Verona score of the first half was made possible after a fumble recov-ery by sophomore linebacker Sam Favouron the West 39-yard line.

Verona’s rally in the fourth quarterstopped after Tackett’s third touchdown,however. West senior kicker Peter Stabehit a 23-yard field goal with eight minutesleft, and senior defensive lineman AubreyJohnson sacked Tackett, forced a fumbleand ran it back 30 yards for a score tomake it 38-21.

Tackett was intercepted one more timeon an attempt for a big play with two min-utes left.

Tackett was 9-for-20 for 81 yards, and

he added 14 yards on three carries withthree touchdowns. Schmid had 117 yardson 22 carries. He also caught five passesfor 38 yards.

Reilly was 16-for-30 with 250 yards andfour touchdowns for West. Senior running

back Marquise Pollard had 74 yards on15 carries. Graf led receivers with eightcatches for 85 yards.

McFadden had four catches for 92yards, and Clements had four catches for61 yards.

West (5-4) moved on to the playoffswith the win. Verona is in a place it isn’tused to being in, but Richardson said he isgoing to make the best of it.

Per WIAA rules, the Verona foot-ball team will bring the sophomores and

junio rs together to get to know each other,and the seniors will come back to coachthem in a scrimmage.

Richardson hopes it gives a glimpseinto what the future may hold and alsogives the seniors a chance to pass downtheir knowledge to the younger class.

“The silver lining is all of this is that weget that extra week to look at next year’steam and align things with those youngerkids and start looking to next year,” hesaid. “This will be new to us, but we willhave fun with it.”

Verona seniors Tackett, Alan Brown,Mitch Flora, Travis Ballweg, GrantFurniss, Nathan Procell, Travis Murray,Mike Dahloff, Kenny Keyes, Zach Nech-vatal, Colin Daniels, Zach Boebel, ScottRohlfing, Grant Langer, Adam Stiner,Jorge Fernandez, Brandon Keene, TrevorNierman, Logan Postweiler, Taylor Watz-ke, Kade Zenner and Kale Murphy allplayed their final high school game.

“I am happy with what we have donewith the game in terms of teaching thegame of life with these seniors, because Ithink they get it,’ Richardson said.

with his 16:27, which wasgood enough for 12th place.“Luke has worked very

hard since last year and hasdropped over a minute off his time,” Marks said. “Heis a graceful strider who hasput some real power into hisracing lately. Him makingthe all-conference team iswell-deserved for a seniorcaptain.”

Fellow senior Brady Fellerwas just off the pace, finish-ing 19th in 16:37.

Sophomores Brady Traed-er (16:51) and Alec Shiva(17:02) rounded out theteam’s scoring in 27th and32nd place.

Upperclassmen Nick Stig-sell and Jonah Tollefsonboth competed on varsity,but did not score.

“Every varsity runnerhad a personal best, and thegreat part was the 34-secondspread from Luke to Alec

Shiva,” Marks said. “Thathas been near a minute inmost of our meets, and thatalone makes us a tougher,more dangerous team in sec-tionals if we can repeat thatagain.”

Verona finished with25 personal bests from theentire team.

Verona hosts sectionalsat 11:45 a.m. Saturday andis hoping it and MadisonLa Follette are the teams tobeat.

“We hope that is the casebut you have to bring it onthat day,” Marks said. “Whatyou have done in the pastmeans nothing if you aren’tready to compete that day.

“Badger High Schoolin Lake Geneva has a fine

team that won their confer-ence and Craig is a perennialcontender, so we are takingnobody for granted.”

Individual ly , Namethremains confident he’s righton course to meet his post-season goals.

“There is no doubt in mymind that I will win section-als, and I am confident that Ican win state,” he said.

GirlsThe Lady Wildcats did not

get anyone on the all-confer-ence team, with senior JenniLaCroix going home sick before the meet started.

Fellow senior AyliseGrosenbacher-McGlamerystepped up in LaCroix’sabsence, leading the teamwith a 17:05 – good enoughfor 31st place.

Freshman Franny Don-ovan also competed on

varsity, but did not score asVerona finished sixth overallwith a team score of 188.

“Felicia started well,but came down with somebreathing issues in the sec-ond mile and ended up asour fifth runner on varsity,”Nelson said. “Aylise andKayleigh ran nice races,which we will need this Sat-urday.”

The effort of the day,however, Nelson said wentto freshman Judy Wat-ters. Watters’ time in theJV1 race was the Wildcats’fourth-best time on the teamSaturday and won her a spoton varsity this weekend.

Verona hosts sectionals at11 a.m. Saturday.

“We should have every-

one ready to run this Satur-day on our home course,”Nelson said. “We certainlyhave the people running whocan qualify our team for thestate meet, but each memberof the team has to believethat it can happen.”

body has allowed.But he knows it won’t

be easy. Even if he can get

his body back in shape thatsoon, he hasn’t been ableto learn all the new playsand counts and other basicsthat helps pave the way for

advancement in the pro-gram.

Gar r ido knows he ’ l lhave to “work that muchharder” to make the teamnext year.

“ I am ou t o f s hapebecause I can’t exerciseany more,” he said. “As

soon as I can go full on,I am going to get my legsback in shape and do what-ever it takes. If I have towear a leg pad to protectit from getting destroyed, Iwill do whatever.”

A shocking diagnosisG a r r i d o ’ s p a r e n t s –

Diana and Rafael – hadnoticed something wrongas far back as April butassumed it was a sportsinjury.

At the time, Garrido wasinvolved with track andfield workouts. And aftera doctor’s visit, the pain inhis leg went away for a fewmonths.

He began working atthe local Culver’s, and thepain came back with swell-ing. This time, his pediatri-cian didn’t like what wasgoing on.

After a trip to the emer-gency room and an MRI,Garrido was admitted fora biopsy and rest. He wasreleased that Friday andstayed with his cousin forthe weekend. But when hisfather came to pick him up,everything had changed.

Rafael was quiet at first,but when Sant i f ina l lyasked him about the diag-

nosis – of Ewing’s sar-coma – that’s when a littleshock crept in. Cancer hadalready been discussed andconsidered unlikely.

“I didn’t really believeit,” he said. “Especiallywhen during the biopsyand that whole week, I gotsomething from the doctorthat said they found a littleliquid. I was thinking thatwas a good thing becausethey said when there is liq-uid it is not cancer.”

It was doubly shock-ing for his mother, whowas helping her father inColumbia after his own

recent diagnosis of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Shewas by Santi’s side threedays later.

As word spread, friends,teammates and coacheswere all taken aback by thenews.

I t f i n a l l y h i t c o a c hCampbell after practiceone evening, when his wifeasked routinely if therewas anyone not at practicehe wished were there.

“I tried to answer her,but I was too choked up totell her, ‘Yeah, someonewasn’t there because theyhave bone cancer,’” saidCampbell, who knew Gar-

rido from the Badger RidgeMiddle School, where heteaches.

He had been excited to

coach Garrido after the twobuilt a rapport the previousyear, talking football 25 to30 times.

Coach Kruge r foundout before Campbell did,hearing it from Garrido’sfather.

“All of a sudden, hisworld changes becausenow he is going to chemo-

therapy and fighting off cancer instead of worryingabout getting in shape andgetting ready for the foot-ball season and the schoolyear,” Kruger said.

Progress and recoveryAccording to the St. Jude

Children’s Hospital web-site, Ewing’s sarcoma is arare cancer, with 200 newcases each year, but it’smost commonly devel-oped during puberty, whilebones are still growing.

I t ’s the second mostcommon form of bonecancer, and the long-term

survival rate is more thantwo-thirds if it’s caughtbefore it spreads to otherparts of the body, as it wasfor Garrido.

He started chemothera-py Aug. 13, but even twomonths later he has beenhaving good and bad days.

He went through sev-eral days last week wherehe couldn’t do interviewsbecause he needed rest andwasn’t feeling himself.

But then other days arelike Monday, when spokewith the Verona Press afterspending the earlier part of the day joking around and“acting like a typical teen-ager,” his mother said.

“It is basically like arollercoaster. You neverknow what day I am going

to be feeling like crap,”Santi said. “After chemo, Idon’t feel good, and thereare weeks when I feel likeit is any other day when Ifeel fine. And then, thereare weeks when I am justup and down.”

But he’s had supportfrom family and friendsand other members in the

community as he fights toget healthy.

Coach Campbel l andKruger both make i t apoint to check in withDiana, who also works atthe school, or Santi whenthey can.

“As often as I see himin the halls, I try to makesure and make it a point togo ask him how he is doingand how things have beengoing,” Kruger said. “Iknow he has unfortunate-ly missed a lot of schoolbecause of the treatment,too, so I definitely try tomake contact with him

the days he is around andmake sure he is on track and doing OK.”

The chemotherapy hastaken its toll not just onhis body but on his school-work.

Diana said her son hadbeen a straight-A studentwho would play sports ,come home and finish hishomework religiously. Butwith the foggy mind andloss of concentration thatcomes from the treatment,that hasn’t been so easy.

For example , he jus tturned in a history assign-ment a few days ago thatwas due three weeks agofor everyone else. Theschool has been accommo-dating, but Garrido said he

just wants every thing to go

back to the way it was.“I was really paranoid. I

would get A’s and get mywork done on time all thetime,” he said. ‘There isa lot, but I will get donewhat I can get done.”

Getting back to the

football field

If there is one thing thatis really driving Garrido,it is his desire to be back with his teammates nextseason.

But he won’t know howlikely that is until after hissurgery next month.

Sometimes, doctors rec-ommend s t ay ing awayfrom sports, he said, andsometimes they don’t.

Regardless, Garrido saidhe will find a way.

“If you believe you cando something, you can doit,” he said. “Even if theysay I can’t play football, itdoesn’t mean that I can’tplay football. I will do the

strength and conditioning.I will wake up at 8 a.m.and go down to the track. Iwill do what I need to do.

“And if I really can’tplay football, I can stillalways be a kicker.”

Nothing would make histeammates, coaches, fam-ily and friends happierthan to see Garrido jointhe Wildcats on the fieldagain.

“It is hope, the hope thathe is not just going to be onthe sideline watching buthe is going to be in uniformin the future,” Kruger said.“And that is what everyone

in the program and anyonearound him is hoping for… that we see him … withhis teammates on the field,where he belongs.”

winner of the 2013 Wis-consin Library AssociationLibrary of the Year award.But some city leaders arequestioning the cost of aim-ing so high.

Long and short of itWhile a half-million dol-lars of operating and capitalincreases are on the LibraryBoard’s official submittedbudget, Simons clarifiedto the Finance committeelast Wednesday that he waspresenting the “long view,”a plan to eventually get thelibrary to a situation whereit could be open on Sun-days.

About half the request, infact, shows what it wouldcost to begin Sunday hoursin 2014.

But what really drews t rong reac t ions f romFinance committee mem-bers was Simons’ insistencethat four FTEs – five newemployees and additionalhours for three others –would be needed simply tokeep services as they are.

Simons explained thatmost employees have been“tied to a service desk”simply to accommodate theincreasing level of circula-tion and that the situationhas been building for a fewyears while other depart-ments got more city fund-ing. He noted that he haswarned the three-memberFinance committee beforethat the library’s capabil-

ity to meet its obligationsto the greater South Cen-tral Library System – whichcovers almost half its fund-ing – would eventually hit awall.

“This is the year we’reoutstretched,” he said.

In prior years, such arequest from any depart-ment would have been notonly unusual but treatedas ridiculous. However,at least in concept, it hasdrawn strong support fromseveral alders.

All four who were electedin April pledged supportfor the library during their

campaigns, and Ald. MikeBare, appointed to Dist. 4in June, said he thinks thelibrary is a major reasonmany people move here andthat the strong participationnumbers in the library’sextensive programming areevidence.

“You should be happythat you have a communitythat values the library,” hesaid.

Tough choicesWhether that translates

into a willingness to raiseproperty taxes more sharplythan ever before is anothermatter.

Af te r a l l , wh i l e thelibrary hasn’t exactly beenthe city’s top priority dur-ing the economic downturnof the past few years – it gotthe minimum increase in2011, followed by a 7 per-cent cut in funding in 2012,when the state eliminatedits “maintenance of effort”provision – it isn’t the onlydepartment with needs.

T he po l i ce and f i redepartments made compel-ling cases as usual, thoughpolice chief Bernie Cough-lin had to admit he’d havea hard t ime get t ing tofull staff if he did get the

requested patrol officerbudgeted. He put higherpriorities on increasing thecurrent lieutenant’s salaryand creating a second lieu-tenant position.

Fire chief Joe Givers iscreating a new city depart-ment, and his staffing plan

is predicated on being ableto bring in lower-wagepaid-on-premises personneland re-creating the adminis-trative staffing structure towork toward 24-hour cov-erage. His plan essentiallyrequires an additional 0.5FTE spread among the cur-rent number of employeesto ensure that one full-timeemployee who’s qualifiedto drive the truck is on thepremises 24 hours a day.

Even departments that areused to maintaining withwhat they have are steppingforward with extra requests.

Public works, which last

asked for a new employeein 2006, wants an additionalmaintenance worker, partlyso it can get snow plowedmore timely and safely.Planning and public worksare looking to share anexpanded GIS position thatwould help both depart-ments, though the extracost would be paid for byutility ratepayers. And thecity administration is hop-ing to get its long-desiredhelp with human resourcesby hiring a consultant (or

joining a consortiu m) andbringing aboard an intern.

If all departments gotwhat they’ve asked for, thecity would add 11.5 FTEsand 15 or more employ-ees and the mill rate wouldincrease by about 20 per-cent, according to numbersprovided by the city.

“At some point we haveto say no to people,” saidfinance committee memberAld. Scott Manley (D-2).“It seems there’s a discon-nect between the level of service (desired) and whattaxpayers can afford.”

Library needsAld. Mac McGilvray

(D-1), the Finance com-mittee chair, challengedSimons on the library’sneeds last week, suggest-ing that if the staff wereoverextended and morale

is suffering as much as heclaimed, it would indicate a“management problem” andthat perhaps some servicesthat have been stretchingthe resources should havebeen expendable.

“I’ve been a supporter(of the library) … but otherdepartments are not sayingtheir service levels havedropped,” he said. “Fourpositions for me is unattain-able.”

Simons pointed to a graphin his 16-page budget narra-tive that showed Verona’scirculation per FTE wellabove comparable libraries.He explained that a largepart of the stress on thestaff is simply respondingto the 70 people per hourwho come to the library – asmall percentage of whomare angry because staff isnot able to respond quicklyenough to their requests orconcerns.

Simons admitted that thecity’s $250,000 investmentin radio tagging of materi-als in 2010 was supposedto have saved four or fiveFTEs. That has been thecase, he said, but it onlybought time, given the mas-sive increase in library useover the years.

“We’re just trying tomaintain,” he said.

The conversation – whichhad been scheduled for ahalf-hour but went wellover an hour – turned intoa powerful debate aboutcommunity priorities andthe role of the library. Someargued that its growingreputation as a communitygathering place was stretch-ing beyond its intendedpurpose, while others saidthat function is part of

what makes Verona a safe,family-friendly communityand that money put towardthe library is money thatdoesn’t have to be spent onadditional school programs.

“Nobody’s going to movehere because we have nicemunicipal parking lots,”Ald. Luke Diaz (D-3) saidhalf-jokingly.

Bare, who moved herefrom Milwaukee in Janu-ary, said he and his wifehad lived a block awayfrom a library but didn’tlike visiting it because itwas always dark and quiet,unlike the energetic atmo-sphere here.

McGilvray didn’t disputethat – in fact, he called thelibrary’s function “impor-tant” and said Simons’accomplishments were“amazing” – but he suggest-ed the current service levelwas an “overreach” and thatall city departments haveimportant programs that

could get better with extrastaffing.

“In 10 years (as an elect-ed official), I’ve never seenanyone want to increasetheir personnel that much,”he said. “We may have toscale back.”

AlternativesFinance committee mem-

ber Ald. Liz Doyle (D-1)said she didn’t understandwhy Simons should bechided for presenting anaggressive vision of whatthe library could be. Shecountered Manley’s con-tention that “low crime” iswhat brings people to Vero-na by saying good librariescan help reduce crime.

“Word gets around aboutgood libraries,” she said.

But if the city doesn’t

provide enough funding tomaintain, Simons acknowl-edged he could tailor thebudget to whatever he gets.

The easiest way, he said,to make the numbers work out would be to cut Satur-day library hours in half.A less noticeable but per-

haps more complicated cutwould be reducing outreach– having librarians visitschools, the senior centerand day cares – and grant-writing to get special exhib-its.

He noted, however, thatthat such choices will bemade by the Library Board.

“We can repurpose staff and cut programming,” hesaid. “There’s a need forprogramming because thepublic wants it. But circula-tion … is what it is.”
