By Jule Stroick City of Madison Planning Division The Northside Neighborhood Plan Steering Committee is in the early stages of proposing strategies for the public to react to at an Open House planned for December 13. Recent discussions have generated ideas such as: Main Street: Conceptual designs of the Northside TownCenter have focused on removing and constructing new buildings oriented along a well-defined main street constructed in the interior of the shopping center. Sidewalks would make the shopping center more walkable. New residential, multi-story buildings on the site would provide another housing choice within an urban, retail setting. City of Madison Planning Division A Northside Market Study is revealing some important market insights on the current conditions, trends, and untapped market potential of the Northside. RA Smith National, a market research firm located in Brookfield, Wisc., was hired by the City of Madison to assess the strength of the residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. The Northside Neighborhood Plan Steering Committee wanted to know some basic facts: what do people shop for on the Northside, what consumer dollars are spent elsewhere, and what kinds of growth potential is untapped. Do you have concerns about the Northside's major traffic corridors? North Sherman, Northport/Packers/CV, Aberg & Troy Avenues? Roundabout: Reconfiguring the PackersNorthport-and CTH CV intersection would improve the appearance, traffic flow, and safety at this important gateway to the Northside. A roundabout or t-intersection is one example of how to make the intersection safer, less confusing and more friendly for people walking and biking. Community Forum Identifying potential sites for new Plan, page 10 A market snapshot shows: There is an estimated $165 million in potential retail sales from the Northside’s primary and secondary trade area. About $54 million of the sales are captured within the neighborhood, while $111 million are spent outside the area, also known as leakage. Some of this leakage, which comes from retail nodes at East Towne, East Washington, and nearby municipalities such as Sun Prairie, will continue to limit the potential of retail growth on the Northside. Given this continued competition, opportunities for additional retail will likely be through small-scale retail establishments. Business, page 9 Help us celebrate!

As a nonpartisan organization, NPC does not endorse candidates for elected office MISSING DOG WOES Dear Editor: On Thurs., Sept.11, my four-yearold Field Spaniel, Wynn, escaped through a breach in the perimeter fence at Yahara Heights Dog Park on Highway 113 and County M. Wynn was in the care of dog daycare professionals who exercise the dogs off leash in the park. Yahara Heights Dog Park is operated by Dane County Parks Department and requires a paid permit to use the facilities. Yahara Heights is designated as an off leash facility. Unfortunately there was a two foot by two foot breach in the wire fencing along the parking lot entrance. In addition we discovered a large area of breached fenceline along Hwy 113 where a tree had fallen on the fence. These breaches in the fenceline were reported to Dane County Parks Department on Fri., Sept. 12. We were told they would send someone “right out.” The fences were not repaired. Four additional phone calls were made over the next several days pleading for the fence to be repaired before another dog was lost. As of Wed., Sept. 17, the fences still were not repaired, except for a temporary repair we made with a stick and several feet of rope. Dick Black at Dane County Parks Department explained the lack of repairs being due to “short staffing” in his department. Madison area dog owners must be aware that off leash does not necessarily guarantee a secure perimeter at the dog park. With the help of friends and family we continued to search for Wynn until the morning of Sept. 21, when he was found in a live trap set by the Dane County Animal Control Officers. We hope the Dane County Parks Department will use the funds from the dog permits to provide a safer and more secure environment for our dogs to exercise. Improved safety of the perimeter would include a double gated fence at the entrance to insure the safe transport of dogs in and out of the park. We hope no other dog owner will suffer the trauma of a missing dog. Wynn is home, 10 pounds lighter, but happy to be back. ~ Susan O’Brien Northside Assembly candidates thank their supporters Dear Editor: Running for the State Assembly has been an experience like nothing I could have ever imagined. Besides the birth of my 3 children and my marriage, running for office has been the best experience of my life. It is truly a humbling experience. To have total strangers contribute because they believe in me but yet have never met me. Who would have ever thought a little Hmong boy born in the hills of Laos would one day run for the Wisconsin State Assembly. The thing that made me the proudest was seeing my 3 children getting so involved and so proud of their Poppy. Even though my youngest daughter age 3 cannot read when she sees my yard sign in someone’s yard she says out loud “Poppy Her for State Assembly.” My oldest daughter age 5 walked almost 1 mile during the Waunakee parade proudly holding her Poppy’s sign. After the race my son age 7 said to me, “That’s ok Poppy if you didn’t win. When I run for President, you can vote for me and I will win for you.” To me that’s what it is all about. Even though I may not have won the election I have won just by running.

NPC Member Profile: Karen Thompson By Ed Garvoille Karen Thompson has been on the Northside Planning Council since its inception in 1993, one of only two people to serve for the entire 15 years of NPC’s existence. Thompson is particularly proud of the NPC because it not only identifies needs on the Northside, but also takes an active role in meeting those needs. As an NPC representative, Thompson also helped raise over $200,000 for the expansion of the Lakeview Public Library. This more than doubled the private donation goal for the library. Thompson sees the role played by the NPC in the building of the Warner Park Community Recreation Center as a top achievement by the council. This included the NPC raising over $800,000 from community donations toward the $4.5 million construction cost. In total, the NPC has raised mobilized $7 million for a variety of Northside projects in its 15-year history. Thompson views the development of Troy Gardens as a big planning and implementation success for the NPC. Troy Gardens is on Troy Drive near Mendota State Mental Health Institute. On 31-acres, Troy Gardens integrates mixed-income green-built housing, community gardens, an organic farm, and restored prairie and woodlands. The NPC is also an active participant in Northside business development. Successfully advocating to bring a grocery store -- ultimately Pierce's Norhside Market-- back to the Northside reflects this activity. Thompson further assists the NPC business development role by representing the NPC on the 80-member Northside Business Association. Thompson developed her business acumen through her 32-year career with Anchor Bank. She now serves as Anchor's Assistant Vice President and has served as branch manager for the Sherman Avenue location for many years. Thompson said the NPC is currently helping support the City’s development of a revised Northside neighborhood plan. The plan, scheduled to be completed early next year, will set forth a number of objectives to be achieved on the Northside within 5 to 10 years. "The council continues to work with Northside neighborhood associations, Northside businesses, city government and others on a number of objectives including economic, transportation, and school issues," Thompson said. She added, "I am working with a great and diverse group of people all working to make the Northside the best place to be in Madison." Happy Autumn!

In 1993, the State of Wisconsin created two competing pieces of legislation. First, the revenue cap (or revenue limit) restricts the amount of funds that a Wisconsin school board can raise from local property tax without going to referendum. This law has allowed an average yearly increase of 2.22% per student above a district’s previous year’s budget. For the 2008-09 budget of the Madison Metropolitan School District (MMSD), this increase is $270 per student or about a 2.5% increase. Second, the Qualified Economic Offer (QEO) requires that “school district professional employee” contracts increase by a minimum of 3.8% to avoid arbitration on economic issues. Employee contracts make up about 85% of the MMSD budgets. When districts negotiate a 3.8% total employment package to avoid arbitration but the overall budget can only increase by an average of 2.22%, the budget gap is created. The community is expected to share responsibility for the gap with the school district through an approved referendum, while the school district continues to make cuts, find efficiencies, and lessen the tax impact. Since 1993, the district has reduced programs and services by over $60 million. How much is the referendum asking for? The referendum asks for the approval to exceed the revenue limit as follows: • $5 million in the 2009-10 year, • an additional $4 million in the 2010-11 year ($9 million total), and • an additional $4 million in the 2011-12 year ($13 million total). It’s a recurring referendum which means that, if approved, the school district could exceed the revenue limit by $13 million in the 2011-12 year and in every year after that. How will the referendum affect my taxes? The projected tax increase on the average Madison home ($250,000 value) will be: • $27.50 in 2009-10, • plus $43.10 in 2010-11, ($70.60 total), and • plus $20.90 in 2011-12, ($91.50 total). The cumulative total increase over three years is $189.60 ($27.50+$70.60+ $91.50). What cuts may still be made in the next three years? The projected budget shortfall for 2009-10 is $8 million, but an approved referendum would only provide $5 million, leaving the following $3 million budget shortfall for 2009-10: $600,000 from staff positions not allocated to schools; $400,000 in yet to be determined areas; and $2 million used from the district’s cash balance for the 2009-10 year. Even with an approved referendum, the school district projects it will still have to make cuts of approximately $2.5 million in the following two years. For more information go to: www.madison.k12.wi.us/mmsdtv/refweb Accessing Art in Theatre GUEST OPINION Is the 2008 School Referendum Just More of the Same? No! By Lucy Mathiak On November 4, the Madison School Board is asking voters to vote yes on a referendum that will increase the property tax support base for Madison’s public schools by a total of $13 million after three years. For owners of a $250,000 home, that translates to an additional $90 in property taxes by the third year. This is not the first school referendum in recent years. But is it just more of the same? No. The need for a referendum stems from our broken system for funding Wisconsin’s public schools, but that is where the connections end. From the earliest planning through the unanimous Board of Education vote to go to referendum, the 2008 request is a big change from what voters have seen in the past. The referendum is about funding a community service – K12 education that is essential to vital neighborhoods and property values, an educated workforce, and, most important, a strong start for the children and youth who hold our future in their hands. Our proposal is one of two major elements in Superintendent Nerad’s vision of a new partnership between the Madison Metropolitan School District and its communities. The second part is commitment to a long-range planning process that will include strong community input, assessment and review of district staffing and programs, and reallocation of resources to critical areas of need. The 2008 plan was developed with input from the community. The final proposal represents more than some people want and less than others want; all comments were taken into account by the superintendent and the board. Additional financial steps that reduce the tax impact on homeowners: 1) Using our 2008 windfall to pay off short term debt and reduce the amount we are asking by $400,000 per year 2) enacting Fund 41 to manage ongoing maintenance and protect the district from losing state aid; 3) decreasing the community service fund (Fund 80) property tax levy by $2 million for one year to offset the referendum’s property tax increases; 4) revising our financial forecasts so that the referendum asks only for what we believe we will need; and, 5) using a recurring referendum so that the district will not face the significant new gap that would occur after a fixed-term referendum. The 2008 referendum does not fix the way that Wisconsin pays for public schools, which has not worked for Madison or other communities. The referendum does not restore programs that were among the $35 million in budget cuts made by the board in the past 5 years, nor does it include new programs. It is one step in our ongoing work to balance school needs with taxpayer means under state laws. Lucy Mathiak is a member of the Madison Metropolitan School District Board of Education.

Childcare provided. Artist Marilyn O’Brien with her work at Eastgate Theatre By Marilyn R. O'Brien Madison artist I am an artist who has been struggling to show my work. I am handicapped, and art is great therapy for me. I had been struggling with where and how to show my work. Since I had been going to the Eastgate Marcus Theatres on for years, I thought, "Why not here?" After working up the courage to present my artwork and ideas, I approached Tom Reichelt, the General Manager for the Eastgate Theatre. He came out of his office to shake my hand and then he proceeded to ask me which month I would like to do an art show. After showing Mr. Reichelt three of my paintings we negotiated and there I was -- the first artist ever to have the opportunity to be showing my work at a major movie theater in Madison with an average attendance of 20,000 people per month. My show was on display through November and December. I have always wanted to represent the Northside Artists Group (NSAG) and the Northside of Madison in its best light. Now I have created a plan for great advertising for myself and other artists, and have begun to execute it. I also want to honor the personnel in businesses in Madison who are so caring and sensitive to my needs as an artist as Tom Reichelt. Another person who guided me was the president of the NSAG, Steve Roffler. When I was totally struggling to be noticed, he saw my work and mentored me immediately. Steve passed away in April 2007, and is dearly missed. He was such a joy and a talent. I have great joy in feeding an assortment of animals who walk and fly into my yard. You can usually find me carrying my camera and taking photos which I then sketch and oil paint. Please visit www.artbymarilyn.etsy.com or www.artbymarilyn.net This is a paid advertisement.

Dave Travis, D-Waunakee, for the 81st Assembly District in the Democratic primary held Tues., Sept. 9. Travis has represented the district, which includes the Northside, since 1978. Roys, the former Executive Director of NARAL ProChoice Wisconsin, received 31 percent of the vote. “I want to thank the voters of the 81st district, my neighbors, who have placed their confidence in me. I am so honored to have received their votes and support and also to share their concerns and ideas with me on their doorsteps,” Roys said. “I ask them to continue sharing their thoughts with me, because I really think that participatory government and responsive government is what our state needs and I will do my best to represent them with all the skills that I have, to listen and to be the best representative that I can be.” Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk, a Roys supporter, said that she is “excited and grateful to the voters in the 81st district because they will have a great legislator going to bat for them. She is so qualified and experienced. I’ve known her my entire life, so I can vouch for her great integrity and the values that she brings to this job.” As for the other candidates in the election, Justin Sargent came in second with 27 percent of the vote, John Laubmeir was third with 16 percent, Eric Englund received 14 percent, Tim Kiefer received seven percent, and Peng Her received five percent. No other candidate has registered to run against Roys in the November election. Timebank turns three! Dane County Timebank turns three and tops 800 members county-wide.

Troy Gardens Housing Receives Home Depot Award Madison Area Community Land Trust recently won first place and $75,000 for its Troy Gardens project from the Home Depot Foundation in their annual awards program for “Excellence for Affordable Housing Built Responsibly”. The 30 condominium-style homes built at Troy Gardens in 2006 are the most recent component added to the unique 31-acre Troy Gardens property, which also includes one of Madison’s largest community gardens, Madison’s only urban community–supported agriculture farm, and restored natural areas. The fruit of 12 years of collaborative work to realize a still-evolving community vision, Troy Gardens project has won numerous national and local awards since the Northside community banded together in 1996 with MACLT and other partners to save the property from unwanted development. The Troy Gardens homes incorporate numerous green features, such as energy efficient appliances, low-flow fixtures, solar panels, rain barrels and bike paths. Troy homeowners have adopted a “co-housing” form of community, jointly sharing resources and responsibilities. Twenty of the 30 homes were purchased at belowmarket rates and will be kept permanently affordable through the land trust model. The Home Depot Foundation cited the Troy Gardens project as “among our nation’s most outstanding examples of affordable, sustainable communities that bring real savings in energy, transportation and maintenance costs to families.” MACLT was selected from more than 50 applicants nationally by a panel of experts in the fields of environmental science and sustainable community development.

October / November 2008 z Northside News 7 COMMUNITY North hside Farmer’s Market Annuaal One Pot Cook Off, Oct.. 12 By Jim Franck On Sun., Oct. 12, the Northside Farmers Market will host its “Second Annual One Pot Cook-Off”. It’s an open contest, where the cooks actually do their magic at the Market, and anyone can enter. Most importantly, everyone who comes to the Market has the opportunity to sample the dishes and cast their vote for “One Pot Chef” of the day. Cash prizes will be awarded for the “Peoples’ Choice” winner and the “Market Judge” winner. If last year is any example, this year promises to offer an even greater variety of truly outstanding dishes. And, the recipes will be available on the Market’s Web site. An added ingredient will be musicians John Duggleby and Chicagoan Lance Brown who will provide music they say is known to whet appetites. And of course, as usual, the Market will feature more than 20 vendors with the highest quality locally grown fall produce and fruit available in Dane County. In addition, there will be a variety of quality meats from bison to poultry, dairy products, baked goods, fresh herbs, honey, and eggs. At last year’s “One Pot Cook-Off”, the chefs provided a happy crowd of Market goers with a varied sampling of terrific meals from Mike Basford’s chicken and andouille gumbo to Mimi Jett’s lamb stew to Ken Wulf’s white bean chili to Marilyn Dralle’s “Hamburger Special” and more. This year’s event looks to feature even more chefs with an even greater array of dishes to sample. Dale Matthews, the event organizer, said he hopes to get as many as 20 cooks this year. The cooking rules are simple: Each cook must prepare a one-pot meal down at the market—a stew, soup, chili, gumbo or other entrée—using a propane stove. They must use at least three ingredients available at the Market plus one ingredient available from Pierce’s Northside Market. Cooks should plan on being down at the market at 7:30 a.m. for a cooks’ meeting. There will a public sampling from 11:05 a.m. until 12 noon when the prizes will be awarded. The entry fee is $20. NFM Events Manager, Dale Matthews, has the application forms with more detailed information about the event. Dale also has some cooking utensils available for chefs who don’t have their own to bring. For additional information contact Dale at 217-9631 or email [email protected] The Northside Farmers Market is located at the corner of Sherman Avenue and Northport Drive across from Warner Park. It runs on Sunday mornings from May through October, 8:30 am to 12:30 pm, rain or shine. Further information about the Market, its vendors, a wide selection of recipes, a list of goods available at the Market updated weekly, and a way to subscribe to the NFM weekly e-newsletter, visit its website at www.northsidefarmersmarket.org.

The proposed Stop-N-Go would be built at 3520 Packers Ave., which is the corner lot of Scott Lane at Packers Avenue. Currently, the property is owned and in use by the Appliance Repair Center. In order for Stop-N-Go to obtain City approval to move forward with the project, a number of items need to be addressed, including holding a neighborhood meeting with Buy a cookbook to fund Northside student’s DC trip Hello Northsiders! I’m looking for your help. I’m selling cookbooks that my family and I put together with 112 recipes from family and friends throughout Wisconsin. This fundraiser is to help pay for a Student Leadership Forum in Washington, DC that I’m going to in October. Last school year, Principal Kelley, from Black Hawk Middle school nominated me for this trip through the People to People program. So, in October, I’ll be flying to Washington by myself to learn about our country, its government and its history. Hopefully I’ll be more prepared for its future! Back to the cookbook - this collection of recipes is available for only $8! If you’d like one, or two, please email my mom at [email protected] or call me at 608-6636384. Thank you so much for your support! Yours truly, Robert Sanders Jr Taste of Asia to participate in 2008 Dueling Chef Competition Mai Zong Vue, co-owner and chef at Taste of Asia, is competing at the Dueling Chef competition during the Madison Food and Wine Show, Oct. 17-19. At the competition both chefs will be given one mystery ingredient, a matching set of supplemental ingredients and 30 minutes to prepare two dishes. The final prepared cuisine will be judged based on presentation, creativity and taste by three celebrity judges and one audience member. For Vue, the competition is about “the joy of preparing foods with surprised ingredients, a live audience, and judges. Anything could go wrong and often times it does in front of everyone.” She welcomes the Northside to be part of the audience and cheer on a Northside resident!

Lakeview Preschool began in 1959, in a small room in the Sherman Avenue United Methodist Church. Also in 1959, Alaska and Hawaii were admitted to the Union, Xerox manufactured the first plain paper copier, and Barbie (the doll) made her debut on store shelves. During this entire 50-year span, Lakeview Preschool has occupied the same location on North Sherman Avenue, although it long since moved to a larger space within the church. Beginning next September 2009— roughly a year from now—and continuing through the end of the school year in 2010, Lakeview Cooperative Preschool will commemorate its 50 years of achievement and service to generations of Madison area students and parents. This momentous school year will culminate with an anniversary celebration in the spring of 2010. Details about the time, place, program, and event activities will be finalized as this year progresses, but you can be sure that the Lakeview Cooperative Preschool’s 50th Anniversary event will be a memorable one. The Lakeview Preschool 50th Anniversary Planning Committee has begun to compile student and teacher names, stories, photographs, and school memorabilia from the last half century. We hope to reach as many past students and teachers as possible; please—if you know anyone who may have taught at or attended Lakeview Preschool, have them contact the planning committee at Lakeview50@gmail .com or 249-3584. Or, if you are willing to share your own recollections of the preschool, please let us know! We would very much appreciate your input! The planning committee also welcomes any volunteers who may be interested in helping out! If you would like to get involved, please don’t hesitate to contact us at the above phone number or email address. Or, just stop by one of our monthly meetings: the first Monday of every month throughout the 2008-2009 school year, from 6:30 to 7:30 pm at the Warner Park Community Recreation Center. Please join us! 15th Anniversary Celebration Friday, October 10 See page 3 for more information A new and expanded Winter Market is coming to the Northside of Madison! The Northside Arts, Crafts & Food Faire will be held from 9 am to 3 pm every Sunday through November and December in the old Meikle’s True Value Hardware location at the Northside TownCenter. This off-shoot of last year’s Winter Market will feature many of the same artists, craftspeople and food vendors that made last year’s market such an unqualified success. And, as usual, the Market will feature many of the vendors with the high quality, locally grown fall produce and fruits available from the farmers markets. There will be a variety of quality meats from bison to poultry, dairy products, baked goods, fresh herbs, honey and eggs. Many of the well-known Southern Wisconsin vendors will be present with all kinds of produce, specialty meats, cheeses, milk and eggs. In addition, representatives of the Northside Artists Group (NSAG), the Timebank, high schools and other civic and volunteer organizations will contribute their time and talents. This is a community-inspired project, sponsored by the community merchants and brought into being by volunteer community participants. The folks putting this together hope for a great deal of Northside participation by individuals and non profit groups. Highly interesting and unique Christmas gifts and holiday decorations will be emphasized throughout. All kinds of wonderful and exotic foods will be served throughout the day. A special brunch will be served from 10 am to 2 pm each Sunday. All artists, craftspeople, cooks, bakers, illustrators, decorators and civic and volunteer groups who have an interest in building an even stronger and more creative community on the Northside are heartily encouraged to come and participate in this ongoing holiday festival. Musicians, entertainers, singers, clowns, poets and magicians are all needed, and the occasional mime is welcome! Volunteers are now needed to help with advertising, publicity, signage, cleaning, decorating, cooking, food service, and even management (all the one-thousand-and-one little jobs that go into making an ongoing event like this a success). To be a vendor or a volunteer (and hopefully both!), contact Larry Zoucha at 556-3423 or [email protected].
