Coves plan gets a ‘no’ from Plan 60-day extension could prevent fall start of project JIM FEROLIE Verona Press editor

A plan for a 170-acre housing subdivision on the north side of the city got a no-confidence vote from the Plan Commission on Monday, July 1. Forward Development Group could still have gotten what would be a final approval for its Whispering Coves subdivision from the Common Council on July 22. But the vote did not bode well for what essentially is the sixth

As a result, the developer withdrew the application and asked for a 60-day extension, interim city administrator/planning director Adam Sayre told the Press in a July 5 email. That could put its plan to have lots ready to sell this fall out of reach. The commission was shorthanded at the July 1 meeting, with just four of seven members present on the holiday week, including the mayor and the

Cardboard bin aimed at curbing ‘Amazon Effect’ Some complaining 94-gallon recycling bins are not enough JIM FEROLIE Verona Press editor

When the city reduced its recycling pickup to every two weeks in 2012, it provided 94-gallon bins that seemed they’d always be more than enough. That was before the Amazon Effect. Amazon, the online sales giant, ships millions

of packages in the United States every day, and the number grows every year. As its ubiquitous packages have piled up at people’s homes, some residents have complained to alders and city staff that packages from Amazon and other online shipments, mostly in the form of cardboard boxes, are starting to become difficult to accommodate in the bins they have. A few have even paid for additional bins.

As long as Verona resident Jake Barker’s health is good, he wants to use it to improve the lives of others. He does so by competing in cycling challenges, having just finished up the Great Cycle Challenge during the month of June, when he raised $287 f o r c h i l d - Barker hood cancer research and put in 253 miles around Verona and Madison. He is also looking to participate in UW Health’s The Ride in September for a second year, Barker said. “What got me into it originally was just the thought of combining something that I really enjoyed and do for recreation, and also doing a good cause,” he said. “I get motivation to do something that keeps me healthy, while helping others that aren’t as fortunate in their health.” Barker, a Dubuque, Iowa, native, picked up the hobby of cycling six or seven years ago, he told the Press last week, after moving to the Madison area and noticing how large of a presence cycling held. Dubuque wasn’t what he would consider a “bike-friendly environment,” he said, so after he moved, he quickly purchased a road bike. “I kind of took off from there,” he said. In the beginning, cycling was simply meant to be recreational for Barker, and served as his main source of cardio, he said. But two years ago, he participated in a biking fundraiser for land conservation efforts for his birthday.

Survey respondents prioritize environment Unified Newspaper Group

Almost 9,200 people responded in a Madison area survey designed to learn how the population wants to see Dane County grow in the next 25 years. Respondents prioritized, in order: environmental conservation, increased access to opportunities such as education and jobs, expanding transit and housing options and preservation of farming areas. The A Greater Madison Vision-coordinated online survey ran last fall, and the results are intended to guide discussions about how the public wants the region to grow, specifically the Capital Area Regional Planning Commission. The majority of the responses were from white people ages 20-49, who have bachelor’s or

offset the low priority ranking from people in urban areas. The majority of respondents commented they favored preserving smaller farms with diverse products, rather than expanding larger factory farms. Some comments that were in support of developing farmlands suggested using the land to expand conservation areas or increase the region’s housing supply. “I see Madison expanding outward and A1 farmland being developed into housing,” a survey respondent said. “All of this creates more roads, more congestion, more hardscapes leading to flooding, and loss of local community, less land for local food growth and less habitat for wildlife. All of this leads to a lower quality of life for everyone.” Respondents expressed a desire to expand transit and housing options. Prioritization for expanding transit was higher among people in Madison, Fitchburg and Monona, as well as people with higher incomes and years of formal education, the

A Harriet Tubman $20 bill will be meaningful to the country

hat would it mean to have a Harriet Tubman twenty dollar bill in your pocket to use toward purchases at Miller’s or one of the gas stations or as a contribution to your church’s collection plate? The sad fact is that, in time, it will mean very little. Those who use cash for their transactions will pay as little attention to Tubman on the 20 as they now pay to Hamilton on the 10 or Lincoln on the five. Even so, the controversy surrounding the Tubman 20 signals that having Yurs her face on U.S. currency will mean something powerful at least in the short term. The controversy began some years ago, when the idea of placing the portrait of a woman on one of our bills was first proposed. There were several nominees to be the new face, and Tubman, a leader along the Underground Railroad in the days of slavery in America, was selected. It was announced three years ago that Tubman would begin appearing on $20 bills, replacing Andrew Jackson, in 2020. Treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin, however, recently announced that no changes will be made to $20 bills until at least 2028. Mnuchin’s declaration sparked various kinds of responses ranging from relief to calls for a Senate investigation to the use of rubber stamps imposing Tubman over Jackson on current $20 bills. Finding a place to stand in the controversy, whether one even takes the controversy seriously, depends upon how one answers the question of what it might mean,

practically, in day to day business, to have Harriet Tubman’s portrait on the bill. For one thing, it would be a statement that white men have no exclusive claim to power in this country. A face on a piece of currency is a symbol, not simply of respect and honor, but of power and authority. It is not for nothing that Queen Elizabeth II appears on British banknotes. A friend of mine from England told me the difference between the British and Americans is that Americans are citizens but the British are subjects. Every British banknote is a reminder of subjection to the Queen. The U.S. puts no living person on its currency. It has used the portraits of persons other than white men, but white men seem to dominate. The Sacagawea coin and the Susan B. Anthony dollar were not well accepted, largely, I think, because coins are less convenient than paper currency. A Tubman $20 bill might succeed where the Sacagawea coin and the Anthony dollar failed. If so it would be a symbolic breakthrough against the hegemony of white men. Tubman on the bill would also be a daily reminder that creative dissent has contributed to the building of this nation. We celebrate majority rule. We do so for very good reasons central to our nation’s identity. But what is popular at the moment, and therefore in the driver’s seat, is not necessarily right. What is legal is not necessarily moral. The highest moral act can be the breaking of an unjust law. Jefferson said as much in our Declaration of Independence. Dissent and civil disobedience have had a shaping role in our nation’s past. Tubman’s work on the Underground Railroad is one instance of the righteousness of a

subversive activity. Her face on our currency can remind us that dissent and civil disobedience can keep us true to the heart of what we want to be as a nation. Further, a Tubman $20 bill would call our attention to the historic fact of slavery, a blight on our nation’s past that cannot be erased. It happened. Because it happened, it set trajectories in motion and some of them are still moving in painful directions. These trajectories lead to the question of reparations, which came before Congress this summer. It is a question profoundly difficult, one that will countenance no easy answer. Putting Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill is not an answer to the question of reparations, but it is a start. Her face as we have it in the proposed portrait – stern, determined, and reflective of a hard life – can be a stark reminder that the negative effects of slavery did not end with the Emancipation Proclamation or with Lee’s surrender at Appomattox. The troubles of slavery – troubles for whites as well as blacks – are not things of the past but matters that have currency today and require attention. Tubman’s face on our money would be a hopeful sign that a nation can change its sense of itself. It would not solve a single problem, but it would be a public and official confession and promise that we are ready and willing to be different from what we are and better than we were. Harriet Tubman helped escaping slaves find their way along the Underground Railroad. Maybe now she can lead the rest of us to a new train of thought. The Rev. Dr. Mark E. Yurs is the lead pastor at Salem United Church of Christ.

A Dane County jury awarded an Oregon couple $435,000 in a malpractice case this spring after finding their doctor “failed to disclose” information about a surgical procedure that resulted in injuries after the woman gave birth. A state cap will reduce the award amount to $300,000. The finding was for her pain, lost wages, past health care and her husband’s loss of consortium. Matthew, Verona Police Department sergeant, and wife Melanie Dart sued UnityPoint Health-Meriter in May for medical malpractice, claiming negligence by doctor Jay Lick resulted in the need for a hysterectomy, or the removal of her uterus. That came after a firstyear medical resident performed a dilation and curettage procedure that caused a puncture in Melanie’s uterus, despite Melanie explicitly stating twice she did not consent to medical students or residents operating on her, according to

the complaint filed with the Dane County Circuit Court. According to the complaint, despite Melanie’s health record demonstrating risks of her uterus being “fragile” postpartum, the procedure was performed without an ultrasound or guidance to avoid the risk of puncture. The circuit court jury found Lick guilty of failing to disclose information about the risks and guided ultrasound and/or hysterectomy. The finding states the jury determined “if a reasonable person, placed in Melanie Dart’s position, had been informed” they would have accepted the guided ultrasound treatment and the failure of Lick to educate Melanie was “cause of injury.” The summary states Lick and the first-year medical resident both failed to note or discover they had punctured Melanie’s uterus. As a result of Melanie’s uterus being punctured, the jury agreed, she developed Asherman’s syndrome later underwent a hysterectomy in April 2015, according to the complaint.

Getting Out of God’s Way For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. – Ephesians 2:10 The late writer Flannery O’Connor kept a devotional journal when she was in her twenties and a student at the Iowa Writers’ Workshop. It has recently been published under the title “A Prayer Journal.” O’Connor was a fervent Catholic and her journal is filled with interesting reflections on spirituality, as well as writing, which she saw as a way to express her spirituality and hopefully lead others to God. She laments early on that “I do not know you God because I am in the way. Please help me to push myself aside.” Throughout the journal we witness an earnest young woman struggling heroically to be more pious, and striving to get out of God’s way, i.e., how to get rid of the ego and let God fill up the space. Her simultaneous struggle to destroy the ego while seeking literary fame is sometimes the focus of her reflections, as when she says “Don’t let me ever think, dear God, that I was anything but the instrument for Your story, just like the typewriter was mine.” God desires to work through all of us, through our words and our deeds, if we can only get our egos out of His way. – Christopher Simon

Cycles: Dubuque native discovered love of cycling after he moved to the Verona area Continued from page 1 “I had a lot of fun doing that, and I had the idea to keep my eye out for other fundraisers from that point, because it’s something that I enjoy and I can (help) a good cause in the process.” Barker found out about the Great Cycle Challenge from a post on his Facebook feed, a fact he said he hates to admit. “With different groups that I follow on Facebook, and Facebook doing what Facebook does with the algorithms and what not, that was something that popped up,” he said. With the Great Cycle Challenge, Barker said he was allowed to set his own goals for how much he wanted to fundraise, and how many miles he wanted to put in during the month of June. He set for himself a goal of $250 and 250 miles, surpassing both. With the Great Cycle Challenge behind him, Barker is shifting gears to fundraise for The Ride, which took a backburner during the month of June. Last year, Barker found out about The Ride only a few weeks ahead of the event, so in order to participate, he donated his own funds, but this year, he has the time to fundraise.

How to help Barker’s fundraising pages for both the Great Cycle Challenge and The Ride can be accessed online and are open for donations. To view the page for the Great Cycle Challenge, visit greatcyclechallenge.com/ Riders/JakeBarker. The Ride page can be found at theridewi.org/event/ fundraising, where his name can be searched.

Barker said the riding he did for the Great Cycle Challenge was good – when he could actually get outside, considering the rainfall that took place last month. Barker was also sidelined partway through the month by a recurring shoulder injury, where his left shoulder will occasionally pop out of its socket, and it forced him to take a few days off. “That was my biggest fear,” he said. “I had an incident with this shoulder where I reinjured it about halfway through the month, and the next week was pretty tough.

Cavaliers outlast Bluffers MARK NESBITT Assistant sports editor

Tucker Teskey went 3-for-4 to lead Verona to a 9-5 win over Pine Bluff/ Mount Horeb on the road Sunday, July 7. The Cavaliers (11-0) lead Pine Bluff/Mount Horeb by 3 1/2 games in the Western Section North Division with five games left. Verona, the defending Home Talent League champion, is one win away from clinching the No. 1 seed for the Western Section playoffs. “If we get the No. 1 seed, we will have home field in the playoffs,” Verona player-manager David Lund said. “We really want to get that home field. That is something we are shooting for.”

Verona 9, Pine Bluff/ Mount Horeb 6 Jason Erxleben struck out five and allowed three earned runs in seven innings to lead the Cavaliers to victory. Verona broke the game open with a five-run second inning. John Moynihan had an RBI double in the fifth, and Luake Yapp had an RBI single to spark the Cavaliers. Lund, who went 2-for4, said the Cavaliers were putting good swings on the ball and being patient. Moynihan also went 2-for4.

Verona 28, Ridgeway 2 Jacob Slonim went 2-for3 with six RBIs to power the Cavaliers to a five-inning win last Thursday. Verona pounded out 16 hits. Nick Cheaney went 2-for-3 with five RBIs, and Teskey was 2-for-5 with five RBIs. Justin Scanlon went 3-for-5. Mike Jordahl and Rob Capener also finished with multi-hit games, each going 2-for-3. The Cavaliers erupted for nine runs in the second and 10 in the third. Verona’s Kyle Nelson pitched four innings and gave up one earned run on two hits. He struck out eight and walked one.

Verona Little League hosted the 11th annual Mid-Summer Classic Tournament on Saturday, July 5 and Sunday, July 6 at Ceniti Park. Most of the games were rained out on Saturday. Verona had two teams in each age division for the 8U, 11U, 12U and 13U tournaments. There were 24 teams that competed in the tournament. The championship game at each age level featured at last one Verona team. Charlie Huckelberry, the president of Verona Little League, said the

Verona 12U Outsiders play tournament at Cooperstown The Verona Outsiders 12U team had the experience of a lifetime playing baseball at Cooperstown All Star Village. Twelve families made the 14-hour trip to Upstate New York on June 28 after spending the last two years planning and fundraising. Cooperstown All Star Village hosts week-long tournaments where teams across the country come to play baseball. Their mission is to provide kids with a Major League Baseball experience complete with professional fields and uniforms, a commemorative tournament ring and All-Star treatment. The players also traded team pins and thanked player Patrick Alt’s grandmother, Eileen Alt, for making pin-holder books for each player to display the pins they collected from other teams. In all, 60 teams participated

in the tournament. The first night was complete with opening ceremonies and a skills competition. The Outsiders’ Alex Rech participated in the Fastest Person in Camp competition. Each of the 60 teams entered their fastest player to run the bases, and Rech finished second. The 12U team played nine games during the tournament and faced some tough competition, but were pleased with their record. Teammates Hayden Duffy, Bryson Kundinger, Brady Patten, Jackson Quinn and Rech excited their fans by hitting home runs. Not only did the team have plenty of fans cheering them on at the ballfield, but fans back home were able to stream the games and the watch the action live. This Outsiders team has played ball together since they were 9 years old, and

has the reputation of working hard, having fun, and never giving up. A baseball club created by Heidi and Craig Neuroth, Verona Outsiders was established to allow young baseball players the chance to play tournaments with their friends. Their goal is not to win every game, but rather to teach winning and losing with dignity and respect and to instill the love of the game to all players. Coaches Bill Patten, Scott Kundinger and Kilby Willenberg have led this group of boys since the beginning, and stayed with the players in the bunkhouse. The team was also able to visit the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York, during their free time.

Cardboard: New bin already getting ‘significant’ use; city considering a larger replacement Continued from page 1 The City of Verona has taken its first step to alleviate this cardboard overload by opening a cardboard-only recycling bin at its public works facility. It’s already getting significant use in its first couple of weeks, and the city is considering getting a bigger one. The bin is located in the dropoff area behind the public works building – across from the yard waste and electronics recycling – and is available during regular waste dropoff hours for city residents. City staff and alders have discussed other ways to keep the recycling load manageable, and one of the biggest things could simply be better communication with residents about what should and should not go into recycling bins. Waste Management has told the city only about 70 percent of what is put into bins can be used at its recycling facility near Milwaukee. That’s usually either because it’s an unacceptable type of material, such as polystyrene (Styrofoam), or because it’s been contaminated, such as wet or greasy cardboard. The facility also does not take items that have been put into other bags.

It doesn’t help that rules for recycling vary from community to community – and even within different operators in the same community – and seem to change all the time. At one point, for example, public works director Theran Jacobson told the Press this week, there was a bigger market for recycling Styrofoam, but that has dried up and Waste Management does not accept it. The City of Madison’s website, however, indicates it accepts some forms, and a Waunakee facility that once accepted Styrofoam no longer does. “It’s just people putting things they think are recyclable,” Jacobson said. “Greasy cardboard is one of them. And wet cardboard. Once it gets wet, it’s not recyclable.” To that end, the city has revised its recycling page with a 13-page indexed listing of how to dispose of just about any item a person can think of. It contains 89 links to listings on the page, along with links to 67 other resources with information on what people can do with various unwanted items. At a Public Works committee meeting June 10 in which the bin got the committee’s unofficial blessing, alders pointed out that the

new public works facility the city is working on will make some of this easier by providing more options for bulk waste and 24/7 access. But that’s at least four years away. The other option tossed around at that meeting but never taken seriously would be to return to weekly recycling. At $25 per stop for 3,900 stops, that would be around $100,000. So far, Jacobson reported, 16 people have opted for a second recycling bin, which costs each person $60 a year. In the meantime, the cardboard Dumpster is a start. It’s is freely accessible during managed dropoff hours (Monday evenings 4:30-7 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.). It is also open during regular office hours for the public works office (8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday), but in that case, anyone with dropoff material is asked to stop in at the office to check in and verify their residency.

The cardboard recycling bin behind the city’s public works building is full and used frequently, but the city is considering getting a larger one soon.

Coves: Subdivision developer withdraws application, seeks 60-day extension on project council’s representative to the commission, Ald. Sarah Gaskell (Dist. 2). Commissioners who spoke were irritated some of the changes they had requested in earlier stages of the process had not changed for this version. Those included a stormwater plan that required significant changes, terraces too thin to hold all the snow the city gets and a parks plan that was not updated and considered insufficient. “I’m really frustrated, because I like this project,” Mayor Luke Diaz said. “I’m frustrated that I can’t vote yes to it because ultimately I do want to vote yes for it. But in the

condition it’s in, we have to recommend denial to the council.” The developer showed frustration, too, particularly with what the delay could mean. The plan has been more than two years in the making, and the principal landowner brought his first concept to the city more than a decade ago. Developer representative Ron Henshue said all along the project has been timed so it would have lots ready when the sewer main was installed for the County Hwy. M project and that a delay of a month or two would scuttle those plans to have them this fall. A previous version of the plan got no recommendation from the commission

in February after city staff listed off several concerns, including about a mile’s worth of retaining walls, roads that didn’t match up with the city’s plans, six “pocket parks” using culde-sacs the city typically pushes snow onto, inadequate stormwater facilities and the skinny terraces. M a ny o f t h o s e i t e m s had changed by April, but some had not or were still there in part. At that point, commissioners voted 7-1 to recommend moving the subdivision to the final step in its process – the final plat and general development plan – but expressed reservations about those items while doing so.

In the meantime, the Parks, Recreation and Urban Forestry Commission reviewed the plan Wednesday, June 19, and recommended approving the plan with several changes. Those included expanding its central park that connects all the “linear parks” – along a 12-footwide trail – to make room for recreational facilities; not accepting pocket parks w i t h i n t h e d eve l o p e r ’s required parkland dedication; and providing half credit of parkland dedication for a restored kettle pond.

Sayre said the plan could return for another hearing at the Plan Commission level when the items are fixed. At the time, Diaz said the application would still go to the council July 22 despite the commission’s recommendation against it. “I would encourage the applicant to take staff concerns seriously and come back with a completed application,” he said. “Based on Alder Gaskell’s comments, I think we can all guess how it’s going to end up at the council.”

Gaskell and Diaz said the stormwater problems alone were enough to prevent them voting in favor, particularly in light of last year’s flooding and continued complaints from residents about water problems around the city.

Verona Little League coach Cory Fulton said that whenever costs for baseball players and their families can be reduced, that’s a winning situation. That’s exactly what a fundraiser held May 18 at It’s Time Bar did, raising $3,000 for the Verona Little League. The event consisted of a raffle and an all-you-can-eat buffet, with 10 percent of the proceeds going toward the organization, he told the Press. This year’s event was the second of its kind, bringing in three times as much money as the previous year, Fulton said, and with more people in attendance. Proceeds from the fundraiser will go toward lowering costs for tournaments and uniforms for children involved with higher-level teams.

A MODERN TREATMENT FOR RECEDING GUMS

Gum recession affects persons of all ages. It may be caused by clenching and grinding your teeth, crooked or misaligned teeth, aggressive brushing, tobacco use, or gum disease. When gum recession occurs, the root structure of your tooth becomes exposed and may be sensitive. Tooth decay may occur along the gum line and damage to tooth roots may occur.
