Second pool, turf decisions by Sept. 1 Bids on building, road will determine SCOTT GIRARD Unified Newspaper Group
A second pool and turf fields at the new Verona Area High School are still possibilities, but school board members hoping to include them need to see low bids on the rest of the project. An update from staff with contractor Findorff and architect Epstein Uhen Architects to school board members Monday night indicated a decision on those amenities would be needed by Sept. 1. The projects, at a cost of more than $7 million, were cited as items that might have to be cut during some tense negotiations over the past year with the City of Verona over costs for an entry road to the site and area intersection improvements. Findorff project manager Aaron Zutz told the board the construction budget is about $1.6 million over on the $182 million project,
Bids timeline June 27: Final construction documents Late July: Bids due Early August: Review bids Mid August: Tabulated bids Sept. 1: Decision on alternatives of second pool, turf “Basically 1 percent from where we want to be.” “One percent is an excellent place to be,” Zutz said. “That gets us pretty much right where we want to be right now.” That includes the second pool and artificial turf on the soccer and football fields, but those – being bid as “alternatives” to give the board flexibility – would likely be the first cuts if the construction budget needs to be trimmed after bids come in, expected in mid-August.

Unified Newspaper Group
Verona Area Chamber of Commerce executive director Le Jordan wants the Music on Main concerts to feel like more of an “experience,” rather than just sitting in a park. As a result, the Music on Main concerts, which returns for its second year, will permit attendees to carry in their own adult beverages to the concerts, Jordan said. “Based on the Concerts on the Square and other events like that, where people can bring picnics and a bottle of wine to share, that’s one of the ways people like to enjoy a Friday night,” she said. “We felt like bringing in adult beverages just made it more of an experience, and the better
experience you can give people, the more they enjoy events.” Alcohol will not be allowed to leave the park, and there will be people enforcing the city ordinances that prohibit open intoxicants. “As long as everyone consumes it right there in the park, it’s good,” she said. “Certainly, the first year is on a trial basis to see how it goes.” The concerts, held every other Friday at Hometown Junction Park, 101 W. Railroad St., began last year as a way to bring traffic downtown while Main Street was under construction, letting people know businesses were still open.

Feather: State encouraged policy review last year The post, shared nearly 250 times as of Tuesday, June 20, said Verona Area School District officials did not listen to Ariana or even to Ariana’s school counselor about the significance of the feather as a symbol of adulthood. Kristy Baccam said the counselor told administrators she supported Ariana wearing the feather. “A day that should’ve been a proud, joyfully happy milestone was turned into an ugly, sad, disgraceful day by the administration for the Verona Area High School,” Kristy Baccam wrote. “My daughter was bullied repeatedly by the faculty to remove her eagle feather from her cap.” Ariana Baccam spoke to Madison365 about the incident last week, recalling her distress when told by administrators she could not wear the feather. She declined to speak with the Press this week, her mother said, explaining that she remained too upset. Superintendent Dean Gorrell acknowledged the incident in a statement to the press and said administrators were informed about the feather about 30 minutes before the ceremony was set to begin. He said students had been told they were not allowed to decorate mortarboards, a restriction cited on the high school’s graduation webpage, and that restriction along with the time crunch and lack of “policy or mechanism” for such requests led them to deny Baccam using the feather. Two years ago, the district revisited a different part of its graduation policy after Exploration Academy student Noah Currier was initially told he could not participate in the graduation ceremony, as he had planned to finish some of his required credits in the summer. But a community outcry focused on a medical condition that had forced Currier to miss school time, the school board reversed administrators’ initial decision to adhere to a strict reading of the district’s policy. In Baccam’s case, Gorrell said “adequate advance notice” would have provided the time to discuss the matter among administration and “would likely have
resulted in a different decision.” “Nevertheless, one of our graduates’ final experience in our school district was negative when it should have been joyous,” Gorrell said. “For that we are sorry.” The state’s Department of Public Instruction issued guidance on the topic last September to all school districts, encouraging districts to rethink policies that may bar a Native American student from wearing a feather at graduation. “I want to take this opportunity to bring forward an issue that many Wisconsin tribal nations have brought to my attention over the last year – American Indian students being prohibited from wearing items of religious and cultural significance, such as traditional regalia and eagle feathers at graduation ceremonies and school-sponsored events,” wrote state superintendent Tony Evers, a former VASD superintendent. “As part of our conversations with tribal nations in Wisconsin, we have repeatedly heard how important it is for American Indian students and their families to be able to wear cultural and religious items as a way to honor their nation, community, and heritage.” Evers pointed to state statutes requiring districts to accommodate a pupil’s “sincerely held religious beliefs” and the state’s nondiscrimination guidelines, which are also part of the district’s policies. Gorrell said the district will look to put a policy in place before the 2018-19 graduation ceremony to allow all students to have access to a potential exception to the no decoration rule. “As we have many different cultures and religions represented in our student body, there are likely other considerations for graduation regalia we are not currently aware of and will need to review going forward,” he said. “If a process is developed that students can request such exceptions to the graduation attire, we want that process to be available to all students.” Contact Scott Girard at ungreporter@wcinet.com and follow him on Twitter @sgirard9.

Communication concerns in administrator’s first year Mikorski gets high marks for finance, long-term planning JIM FEROLIE Verona Press editor
In his first full year running the city administration, Jeff Mikorski was above average in most facets of his job but struggled to communic a t e e ff e ctively with the Common Mikorski Council and employees, according to his annual performance review. The review, his first since moving here from West Virginia in August 2016, was completed in January, finalized in late March and provided to the Press in late April. It uses a scale from 1 to 5, with 1 being “poor” and 5 “excellent.” It rates his performance in nine categories, with four subcategories
for each. Of the 36 categories, he scored 23 marks of 4. All but one of his marks was a 3 or higher, but there were no 5s. Mikorski scored his highest marks in fiscal management and longrange planning, where the Personnel committee said he brought a “new perspective” and “works to stay up to date” on legislative changes. Reviewers, led by Personnel chair Elizabeth Doyle, commended Mikorski’s “ s t r o n g k n o w l e d g e ,” research, objectivity and initiative throughout the evaluation, as well as his use of technology. However, comments in seven of the nine categories included a reference to improving communication, and his lowest mark, a 2, was in “availability to public officials” and providing timely responses to questions and requests for information. A 2 indicates “Below average – usually does not meet the performance standard.” Among the comments indicating concern for

Letters to the editor
Treatment of immigrant families is ‘cruel, unacceptable’ The current immigration policies of detaining immigrant families for misdemeanors and separating children from parents is cruel and unacceptable. For those that have immigrated illegally, regardless of what they have done, they should be treated humanely and this should remain a civil matter. For those seeking asylum, is this really the way we should be representing a country that’s cornerstone is “freedom?” Is the first impression you want to give
to a family seeking aid from cruel conditions more cruelty? These processes need to stop. The administration needs to stop cowering behind laws or the Bible as an excuse for the way immigration law is being enforced. This current landscape is reminiscent of Japanese internment camps or Nazi Germany concentration camps, and history will judge accordingly. Katherine Carpenter City of Verona

Don’t take your children’s well-being for granted I t was 20 years ago this week – June 18, 1998. I was the new editor of the Verona Press, with my first edition under my belt. After years of underachieving professionally, things were finally going my way. I was happily married, I had two great kids, I owned my own home, and the future was bright. And then it went black. My oldest son, Cameron, age 9 and a gifted student with a tuft of unruly blond hair, had been having headCurtis aches for about two weeks. We’d been to the clinic, and he was being treated for a sinus infection. The other three members of my family suffer terribly from allergies, so this diagnosis seemed to make sense. Then came a bout of double vision when Cameron was trying to pitch in a Verona Little League game. The next day we brought Cameron to Walmart optical for a check-up because it was the only place that would give us an appointment. At 1 p.m. he had his eyes examined. At 3 p.m. he was seeing an ophthalmologist in Madison. At 5 p.m. he was being prepped for emergency brain surgery. It happened that quickly. Medullo blastoma is a type of cancerous brain tumor that at the time, doctors told us, affected about 1,500 people in the United States annually. Why us? Twenty years later I still can’t describe in words what it is like to have something this horrible
and unexpected happen to one of your children and your family. Think of the worst thing you can imagine, and take my word, it is far worse. There will be some readers who know what I mean because they have lived it, but for the rest of you I hope you never fully understand. In addition to surgery to remove the tumor, 9-year-old Cameron underwent 30 radiation treatments followed by nearly a year of chemotherapy. These were dark days, a hellish meat grinder where death was cheated and sanity maintained but at an incredible cost. I shared some of these experiences in the newspaper column I wrote at the time. I used a borrowed laptop computer and wrote many articles and columns from Cameron’s hospital room. Honestly, I don’t know how I kept up with, or simply kept, my job. Cameron turned 29 in March. He survived cancer, and on this point I constantly have to remind myself things could have been worse. He was damaged by the experience, however. The cure left him with only partial use of his right side and a traumatic brain injury that dogs him to this day. The once gifted student now struggles with basic math, remembering the most commonplace things and anything that involves balance, dexterity or endurance. He deals with anxiety and depression, struggles in social situations and has difficulty making friends. All this has made finding fulfilling work difficult, and living independently is a goal he has yet to achieve. Cameron doesn’t realize he is the most courageous person I have ever known, and from a parent’s point of view, that may
be the worst of the worst. Before he turned 10 I watched him endure horrors and indignities most people can’t imagine, and due to this he was deprived of so many of the joys of childhood: playing sports, driving to high school, having a gang of friends to hang with. Yet he endured. He graduated college. He performed lead roles in both high school and college plays. He eventually got his driver’s license. He’s maintained a steady job for years. He is incredibly kind and giving. I have seen him get up and trudge forward on days when many people would have stayed in bed with the covers pulled over their head. I am more proud of him than I can ever say. And if there was any way I could go back in time and reverse our roles, with me being the patient and him the caregiver, I would do it without a second thought or moment’s hesitation. I hope readers will forgive me for this self-indulgent column. I would like to conclude it with an admonishment very similar to one I made the first time I wrote about Cameron in this space, which was a little less than 20 years ago. Hug your children. It doesn’t matter if they are nine, 29 or 59. Hug your children. Because you can never know what might happen tomorrow, and it can happen just that fast.

Swimming, biking, running for cancer Chamber to be absent from Oregon woman diagnosed with terminal cancer to race in Verona BILL LIVICK Unified Newspaper Group
For the past five years, Mary Gooze has been on a quest to educate people about metastatic breast cancer and raise funds to find a cure for the fatal disease. She’ll continue the edu- Gooze cation part of her mission Saturday when she, another woman diagnosed with Stage IV breast cancer and their oncologist compete as a team in the Wisconsin Triterium Triathlon in Verona. The race, in its 15th year, takes place at Fireman’s Park in Verona starting at 7 a.m. It features individual and relay versions of sprint and Olympic-length triathlons. The sprint distances are a one-third-mile swim, 11-mile bike and 5K run. Olympic distances are 1.5K swim, 25.5-mile bike and

10K run. Both swim races will take place in the quarry. Gooze’s team will take on the sprint. Gooze, a 67-year-old retired teacher from Oregon, will swim the quarter-mile, her friend Erin Jacobson, of Spring Green, will cycle 11 miles and their oncologist, Dr. Yamil Arbaje, will run five kilometers. Unlike similar efforts t h a t h av e s e e n G o o z e swim miles across lakes to raise funds and awareness, Gooze isn’t swimming next week to raise money but only to increase people’s understanding of the disease, which kills an estimated 40,000 people annually in the U.S. alone. She said most people haven’t heard of metastatic breast cancer and aren’t aware that it’s different from breast cancer, which itself is not lethal.
“It’s still amazing to me how when you’re in the middle of something, you think everybody knows,” she observed. “But when you step outside the circle, you find out that people still aren’t aware of what this disease is.” Gooze launched her One Woman Many Lakes’ swimming campaign in 2014 after learning the breast cancer she’d been diagnosed with two years earlier had metastasized. She joined with others in the Stage IV community to advocate for more research toward a cure and shine a light on a disease that most people don’t know much about. In 2015, at age 64, Gooze swam more than 25 miles in 23 lakes – including five in Dane County – in her campaign to garner publicity in hopes of educating the public. She raised around $200,000, sending $109,000 to METAvivor, a national organization that
funds stage IV breast cancer research, and nearly $90,000 to the American Cancer Society. She’s continued the effort annually and plans to keep going as long as she can – or until a cure is discovered. “Last year alone we raised $500,000 for the More For Stage IV fund for the UW Carbone Cancer Center,” Gooze wrote in an email to the Press. “One-hundred percent of all donations goes directly into research.” She said only about 10 percent of research dollars go toward studying the lethal form of the disease. “The funding tends to go toward awareness of breast cancer in general and not to the research or treatment of those already diagnosed,” she observed. “I’m not sure why. Years ago, people simply died too quickly so there wasn’t an uproar. But now that people are surviving longer, people like me are standing up and saying we are still living and thriving for a longer time and we need more money and research.” To l e a r n m o r e a b o u t G o o z e ’s c a m p a i g n onewomanmanylakes.org.

golf tournament fundraiser KIMBERLY WETHAL Unified Newspaper Group
The Verona Area Chamber of Commerce isn’t representing the Verona area at the AmFam Champions golf tournament this year. Even though the host University Ridge Golf Course is in “Verona’s backyard,” executive director Le Jordan said, the chamber wasn’t prepared to shell out double the fee it paid last year to provide information on Verona to the thousands of visitors who will be a mile away each day. Last year, Jordan told the Press, the “powers that be” provided the chamber with a discounted rate because they weren’t selling anything; rather, it was agreed the chamber was giving out information on Verona and what amenities are available in the city to attendees of the pro golf tournament, Jordan said. “All we’re doing is giving coupons for people to come to Verona,” she said. “We’re saying, ‘hey, welcome to Verona.’ People would say, ‘Where’s Verona?’ We’d say, ‘it’s on the other side of those trees.’” This year, organizers of the golf tournament
classified the chamber as a standard vendor, rather than a nonprofit, sticking to their standard vendor fee of $5,000. “Because other vendors are paying $5,000, the Chamber would have to do the same,” tournament director of corporate partnerships told Jordan in an email she provided to the Press, dated June 15. “Hopefully we can make some changes that will make more chances for everyone next year.” Jordan said it’s a disappointment the chamber won’t be in attendance during the golf tournament, which began on Sunday, June 17, and goes until Sunday, June 24. “This is not something we make any money off of,” she said. “I think it’s weird that we’re not represented out there because U-Ridge is in Madison, but it’s our backyard. It’s right there, and I felt like they were inflexible with their guidelines … they really didn’t look at the situation and the circumstances.” Email reporter Kimberly Wethal at kimberly. wethal@wcinet.com and follow her on Twitter @ kimberly_wethal.
Music: Familiar artists to return along with new bands for upcoming concert series Continued from page 1 throughout the three hours that musicians played – but those who attended really enjoyed it, Jordan said. She’s hoping the addition of carry-in beverages will increase attendance at music events. The first concert on June 29 features Old Soul Society, who will be playing their second performance in Verona in two months after playing Saturday at Hometown Days. The second concert on July 13 will also feature Hometown Days alum Katie Scullin. The July 27 and Aug. 10 concerts will feature Casey and Greg and Mark Croft, respectively. Food trucks will be on hand at some of the concerts – the Wisconsin Foundation’s “Get The Scoop” truck selling Babcock Dairy ice cream will be at the June 29 event – and some of the concerts will line up with other events happening in Photo by Evan Halpop Verona on the same day.

“When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show others they are fasting…. But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, so that it will not be obvious to others that you are fasting.” — Matthew 6:16-18 NIV Fasting, which is abstaining from food, is a spiritual discipline which can profitably be done by almost everyone, though the extent to which one abstains should be carefully considered so that it matches the person’s ability to do so in a healthy way. Fasting should never damage one’s health. Fortunately, there is now considerable evidence that occasional fasting can actually improve one’s health. The purpose of fasting is not specifically to improve one’s physical health or to lose weight, but to improve one’s spiritual health. By fasting, one often humbles the heart and tempers loquacity. Fasting allows one to meditate and pray with a clear and sober mind and gives us the opportunity to test our resolve and offer our efforts to God and our fellow man. One can fast by simply giving up solid foods, drinking only water, juice and perhaps tea. – Christopher Simon

‘Air time’ for lung cancer Verona resident leads yoga team in fundraising for research KIMBERLY WETHAL Unified Newspaper Group
Verona resident Jaime Faus doesn’t often see lung cancer research get much breathing room among different forms of cancer. “It doesn’t get much attention because there’s all these other (forms of cancer) that are competing attentions,” she said. Twice now, Faus has done something about it. She was one of 206 participants in the “Free to Breathe” yoga challenge, held on Sunday, June 17, at Lake Farm Park off of Lake Waubesa, which raises money for the Lung Cancer Research Foundation (LCRF). “It was really incredible to see all of the people there that were there in support of this form of cancer that doesn’t really get much air time,” she said. LCRF hosts two “Free to Breathe” events each year, one in Madison, and one in Baltimore, Md., to help fund its mission of improving lung cancer outcomes through researching the disease, Emily Krimbel, director of marketing and communications for LCRF, told the Press. “Yoga, I think, kind of fits into the whole ‘free to breathe’ lifestyle vibe,” she said. Faus participated in her first challenge in 2016 after a friend who had an aunt diagnosed with lung cancer had asked her to join a team. Through Dragonfly Hot
Yoga, one of Faus’ employers and the event’s main sponsor, her name was circulated as someone who might be interested in leading a team – something she was “excited” to do. Dragonfly Hot Yoga’s ow n e r, M eg a n R y a n , wanted to see each of the company’s four locations throughout Dane County raise $3,000 per studio in the months leading up to the Free to Breathe event. As Faus began her team, comprised of herself and five friends and employees from Dragonfly’s sister cycling studio Flyght Cycle, they were competing against the other studios to see who could raise the most. Faus had done fundraising before as an individual and as a member of her first Free to Breathe team in 2016, but as the leader of her own team, the responsibility of fundraising to their goal of $3,000 was a different experience. “You feel responsible for encouraging everybody on your team, and I really, really wanted to make sure we met the goal … especially since there are four other yoga studios at Dragonfly that were doing it as well,” she said. “I wanted to make sure we were carrying our weight.” It required her group to get creative in how they were going to rake in funds, Faus said. One of their fundraisers started with a single-worded text message: “Kegger?” “The wheels started spinning in my head,” Faus said. “I was like, okay, we’re at the age now where it’s kind of nostalgic to think back on being in college and going to a keg party, so I thought it would be fun to recreate that.”

Participants at the Free to Breathe event held Sunday, June 17, work on yoga poses. Over $77,000 was raised as of last week Friday for the organization by all participants for lung cancer research.
Faus’ team was just under their $3,000 goal, she said. Faus said in an interview last week that she looked forward to participating in the event in an outdoor setting – her first year, the event was held indoors, and she wasn’t able to attend last year when the event was moved outside – and all of the additional services and booths set up for attendees to take advantage of. “They put so much work into making it a fullParticipants were led through all levels of yoga classes at the Lung Cancer Research Founda- day experience for peotion’s Madison Free to Breathe Yoga Challenge. ple, which I think is really great,” she said. “Obviously a little bit threw a college-esque “keg- event and team members less grungy and sketchy, ger” party in a friend’s base- individually reached out Email reporter Kimberand a little more focused on ment where people bought to people they knew to ask ly Wethal at kimberly. raising money,” she added into a beer pong tourna- for donations to meet their wethal@wcinet.com and with a laugh. ment.

back to someone who may have played an important part in your life, allowing for a genuine reconnection. Caring for a parent, in particular, can be especially valuable, as there is often a sense of things coming “full circle.” However, even in the most ideal situations, caregiving can ultimately become a demanding job – one that’s taxing on the mind, body, and spirit. And for those who work a full-time job and have a family to take care of, assisting a loved one can add a great deal of stress. It seems only natural that family caregivers would desire a break, but we often push ourselves past reasonable limits, with the mentality of “I can do it all” and that anything less would be Stephen Rudolph seen as a sign of weakness. In reality, asking for help is anything but selfish. Respite care allows seniors to still receive the appropriate level of care, even in the absence of a family caregiver. Having a care professional substitute can help reduce feelings of guilt that you or your senior might feel. Trusting your loved one with someone else is not an easy decision, but with the compassionate, professional caregivers at Comfort Keepers®, you can trust that he or she will be in capable hands.

getting away from your regular endeavors. But one part of your life should never take a break – your investments. Review your portfolio periodically to make sure it’s still helping you make progress toward your goals. If not, you may need to make some changes. Also, choose the right investments for the right goals. For example, for your longer-term goals, growth-oriented vehicles are important. But for shorter-term objectives, you should consider investments that offer greater protection of principal. Finally, you may want to look for investments that work extra hard for you, such as stocks that can potentially pay dividends. You can reinvest the dividends to buy more shares – and as you increase Brendon Diers, AAMS® your share ownership, you’ll help yourself keep working toward investment success.

Every situation is different. If your child still needs to get up at the same time in the summer to get to childcare, camp, or summer school, the best bet is probably to keep the same bedtime as the school year. If your summers are less structured and your child can sleep in, it may work fine to allow a later bedtime. If you do stretch bedtime until a little later, you will probably want to ease back into the school year routine a few weeks before school resumes in the fall to help smooth the transition back.

commonly referred to as the “dog bite” statute, provided for doubled damages if the offending dog injured a person, a domestic animal, or other property and the owner had notice that the dog had previously caused one of these types of injuries without provocation.

Q. Are powered toothbrushes better than manual brushes? A. If a manual toothbrush is used for the appropriate amount of time and done
with the proper technique it can perform just as well as a Sonic or powered toothbrush. The reality is that most people don’t brush for the recommended two to three minutes. If they do brush for the recommended time, sometimes the technique isn’t what it needs to be. People with limited dexterity, arthritis, orthodontic brackets or braces, and those with periodontal disease usually benefit the most Dr. James Sands, DDS from an electric toothbrush. Children are also good candidates for powered brushes as their brushing habits tend to be less than optimal. The cost for some of the best powered toothbrushes can be upwards of $150. Does everyone need one of these brushes? They certainly do not. However, if you’ve recently needed any dental work, chances are good you’d benefit from a powered brush. Ask your dentist if you have any questions about what brush might be best for you.

of paging through a broker’s books full of property listings. Internet marketing is the primary method of reaching today’s home buyers. One new trend we’ve used for our listings is 3d scanning. This allows a buyer to use a link within the property listing to maneuver through a home almost like a video game. Buyers can see all areas of a home this way rather than just a sampling of pictures. Another method, we’ve been using is putting listings on Waze (a navigation app). This shows people who are using Waze for navigation or traffic our property Keith & Kinsey Schulz listing on the map as they are driving nearby. Lastly, targeted social media advertising has become a key method of advertising homes for sale. Many social media sites now allow us Real Estate Team to target location and demographics of advertisements. This allows us to push out relevant property listings to consumers. If you are considering selling your home, make sure your agent is doing all they can to generate more showings for your home. Even one more potential buyer for your home could equate to thousands of additional dollars in your pocket.

Shoe drive raises $1,780 A shoe drive by the Verona Area High School boys soccer team nearly doubled the group’s goal to help fund new uniforms. Parent Missy Prout told the Press in an email the team was proud of how the “Verona community really came through” and how many shoes were dropped off at Miller and Son’s Supermarket. The team raised $1,780 from the drive, collecting 3,525 pairs of shoes. That included 80 brand new pairs. The donations filled up 141 bags of 25 pairs each. The team loaded up a truck with the shoes on Friday bound for Orlando, where they will be shipped to developing countries.

An early rendering from the northwest of the new Verona Area High School, with the pool facility and performing arts center in the foreground. School board members are still hoping to include two pools at the school, as shown here, with one offering community use during the day.
VAHS: Construction budget about 1 percent over, officials expect savings from bids Continued from page 1 It’s unclear whether the costs for purchasing land required for the entry road from South Nine Mound Road into the site will be known by then, which would complicate the decision for the board.
The board and city debated – often in closed session, but sometimes in public barbs – which entity should pay for the entry road that was not part of the initial plan when voters approved the capital and maintenance referendums in April 2017. At that
point, district officials hoped to have a second entry to the site from Paoli Street to the south, a road city officials have said would have provided wider benefits to the community. But later that year, alders on the city’s Public Works
committee indicated they would not support the district’s push for an exception from the state Department of Transportation for how close the road could be to Hwy. 18-151. That left the district to search for an alternative, which it eventually found in
a connector road from South Nine Mound Road. The cost of that road, minus a $4.5 million contribution from the city in return for excess land, is expected to be higher than what the district projected during the referendum process. Planners

have cited complicated engineering and expensive land acquisition for a bridge over a dry tributary to the Badger Mill Creek. Zutz said Findorff will need a final decision on the second pool shortly after bids are received in August. A decision on installing artificial turf could likely wait another year or more, he said, though “sooner on those would be advantageous.” Board member Meredith Stier Christensen said she expects the board to look at those as a “combination decision.” Board member Tom Duerst said that while the second pool and turf would be nice, they’re not necessary. “The new building has to have at least what the old one has, concession stands, those are all things that we’ve got to make sure it’s at least as good as what we’ve got,” Duerst said.
