Four quiet decadesPublic works director ‘invaluable’ to villageBill livickUnified Newspaper Group
Village of Oregon pub-lic works director Mark Below remembers what it’s like to be called out at all hours of the night, in January, to repair a broken water main.
A n d h e h a s n ’ t f o r g o t t e n that when he s tar ted w o r k i n g for the vil-l age a s a street main-t e n a n c e laborer in 1974, he and the two oth-er workers in the depart-ment used to dig graves at the village cemetery – by hand.
He still keeps track of broken water mains and actually enjoys his role as the cemetery sexton, but since he became the public works director in 1993, he doesn’t have to do much physical labor anymore.
On Jan . 15 , Be low passed his 40-year anni-v e r s a r y a s a v i l l a g e employee, and the village commemorated that mark last month.
He says he’s never regretted that the Oregon community became his life’s work.

Board quells ice arena fearsBreaking OASiS lease would be a problem, but new members say that’s not their plan
ScOtt De lAruelleUnified Newspaper Group
What appears to have been a misunderstanding brought Oregon Ice Arena supporters in droves to Monday night’s Oregon
School Board meeting.It was standing-room-only as
about 10 rink supporters asked the board to work with the are-na and not break its lease for an alternative high school because of continuing moisture issues.
If the OASIS program were removed from the building, they said, it could threaten the stability of the ice rink.
The large public showing was

In the 1800s, “knickers” were a part of most every boy’s wardrobe.
In the 20th and 21st cen-turies, not so much.
That created a problem for the organizers of Pio-neer Days at the Oregon Schools District’s elemen-tary schools. The celebra-tion offers a chance for stu-dents to learn how people lived in the 1800s, from games and food to dances and music.
But to get the full expe-rience, teachers would ask the students to dress up, beginning with the early celebrations at Brooklyn Elementary School in the 1970s and as it expanded to the district’s other schools later. Marilyn Murphy, a former fourth-grade teach-er at Oregon Consolidated School, said the results were often mixed.
“Some children, that’s great, they have a grand-ma or an aunt or a mom or somebody in their family that makes them an awe-some outfit, and some could not,” she said. “It’d be nice if all those kids could have those fun outfits.”
That’s when, in 1997 as

A tale of 3 DonkeysAfter companion’s death, 18-year-old welcomes newcomer
Bill livickUnified Newspaper Group
He lived in the Town of Oregon for 18 years, and his death last month stirred an outpouring of sympathy.
Mo, a Sicilian miniature donkey that lived with his lifelong companion Jo at the corner of Fish Hatchery Road and Hwy. CC, died April 25 of laminitis.
He’d developed a hoof abscess and was under a veterinarian’s care, but passed away in the middle of the night.
The donkeys’ owners, Merrlyn and Keith Scho-v i l l e , have pu rchased another Sicilian miniature after Mo’s passing to keep Jo company.
After all, Jo has had a constant companion since they had acquired the male donkeys in 1996.
They gave Mo and Jo a home in a comfy shed. The donkeys also had access to a large pasture, where com-muters regularly saw the friendly animals playing together or munching grass.
“We thought they’d eat a lot, but they really didn’t need that big of a field,” Merrlyn said. “They had the run of the place.”
Many people knew the donkeys’ names because the Schovilles had erected a wooden sign of two don-key heads, with their names painted in bold letters.
“You can’t hardly talk to anyone who didn’t know Mo and Jo,” Merrlyn said.
She noted that Mo and Jo were the same age but had different mothers. She and her husband purchased them because of their gen-tle nature and the calming effect they have on people and other animals.
They’d become part of the Schovilles’ family.
Merrlyn is sti l l a bit shaken over Mo’s pass-ing and feels responsible for feeding him too much grain over the cold winter months.
“I was really pouring it on to them, and I guess they can’t stand that much grain,” she said. “Mo was the one that ate the most, and it gave him laminitis.”
After Mo got the abscess, veterinarians from Coun-try View Veterinary Ser-vice, across the road from the Schovilles, “came over just about every day or every other day,” Merrlyn lamented. “We wrapped his feet. They gave him shots. I gave him pain medicine twice a day, and we thought he was getting better.”
Merrlyn said Sicilian miniatures typically live to be about 30, and she’s been taking Mo’s death pretty hard.
“It did just about break my heart,” she said. “I kept thinking I shouldn’t have done that; I just fed him too much. It was just kind of a fluke. I didn’t know any better.”
The sad story was first reported in the Wisconsin State Journal on May 5. The article said that Jo had
been braying a lot in the days after Mo’s passing, which Merrlyn confirmed.
She said it was obvious Mo’s death was the cause of Jo’s distress.
“He just was not him-self,” she observed. “He wasn’t eat ing. He was mainly standing, crying. He was totally a different don-key. It was terrible.”
A week o r so a f t e r Mo died, the Schovilles acquired another donkey, whom they’ve named Jack. He turned a year old Sun-day, on Mother’s Day.
Jo wasn’t real quick to welcome the stranger to his new home. At first, he wouldn’t let Jack in the shed, but that changed after a day or two.
“The little donkey, it took a couple days for him to adjust because Jo was kind of bossy – it was his shed, it was his water and his field,” Merrlyn said.
They’re adjusting fine now, she added. “Jo’s not standing around and bray-ing anymore.”
Still, Jo’s “the boss,” and “it’s a good thing it’s that way,” Merrlyn said. “He marches Jack around pretty good.”
She observed that like a typical youngster, Jack is more energetic than Jo but also lies down to take more naps.
She said Jack’s “real friendly,” and like his pre-decessor, he’s a big eater.
“Somebody sent me $20 to buy treats for Jo, and so I went out and got treats for them,” Merrlyn relayed. “I’d given them each a treat or two, and when I turned around to go back in from the field I could feel some-thing nibbling on my back and pulling my shirt, and it was that little one. He was wanting more treats.”
‘It did just about break my heart. I kept thinking I
shouldn’t have done that; I just fed him
too much. It was just kind of a fluke.
I didn’t know any better.’

State, Oregon graduation rates continue climbScOtt De lAruelleUnified Newspaper Group
When it comes to measur-ing the success of schools, the percentage of students who graduate is at the top of the list. And while Ore-gon School District num-bers have remained above Wisconsin averages, those state numbers have con-tinued a recent trend of improvement.
According to a press release last week from the Wisconsin Department of Instruction (DPI), public schools in the state have continued an upward trend in high school graduation rates, reaching 88 percent during the 2012-13 school year.
The Oregon School Dis-trict has been well ahead of the curve for the past few years, ranging between 93.1 and 95 percent since 2007, with 94.7 percent of students graduating (includ-ing those who complete requirements after their graduation date) during the most recently calculated 2012-13 school year.
S ta te super in tenden t Tony Evers said the num-ber s conf i rm na t iona l reports that put the state among the best in the nation for graduation rates. According to the National Center for Education Sta-tistics, Wisconsin is tied for second with its 2012-13 rate of 88 percent.
“Earning a high school diploma is critical to the next steps in a young per-son’s life – (getting) ready for college and careers,” he said. “Through the hard work of teachers, school staff members, parents and the students themselves, we are making progress to improve graduation rates for all students.”

Public hearing on radio tower expectedA public hearing tenta-
tively set for next month will give area residents a chance to weigh in on a controversial proposal to build a 486-foot radio tow-er in the Town of Rutland.
Tomah-based Magnum Communications wants to build the tower near Old Stage Road to service
Stoughton’s first FM radio station. Town and Dane County officials denied the request in 2012, but chang-es to state law last spring opened the door for Mag-num to try again.
Town officials discussed the proposal at two sepa-rate meetings last week but took no action. The
public hearing is expected to be held 6:30 p.m. June 12 at the Rutland Town Hall, 785 Center Rd. A joint meeting of the town’s plan commission and board of supervisors will fol-low, said town clerk Dawn George.
A separate public hear-ing was held April 29 by
a Dane County committee that drew proponents and opponents of the tower. The town has 60 days from that hearing to vote on the proposal, though Rutland officials are expected to ask for a 40-day extension beyond that, George said.

Oregon School District Oregon Bike Trail
Board approves easement agreementsconstruction to begin next monthBill livickUnified Newspaper Group
The Village of Oregon is moving forward with its plan to construct a recre-ation path from the Alpine Business Park to Fish Hatchery Road.
Last week the board authorized the village to enter easement agreements with two landowners for use of their properties.
The board approved a final “real estate donation” agreement wi th Emily Harris, who owns land on Fish Hatchery Road, or segment C of the trail project. The village agreed to pay $609 to a tenant who has a lease to farm on the property.
Actual construction on the Harris property won’t take place until next year.
The board also approved a real estate agreement with the Keller Alpine Dairy that calls for the village to pay $12,000 to owners Dora and Betty Keller.
The sisters last year agreed to a “friendly emi-nent domain” with the village in order for the trail to be built on their land, north of Netherwood Road.
Construction of the 3.1-mile trail is expected to begin in June, beginning with an asphalt-paved path at the Alpine Business Park. The first segment will extend west, past the north side of the dairy, for 1.8 miles, at a cost of $350,000.
The vi l lage is using
a combination of fund-ing sources, including $115,000 from the village TIF 2 District fund, about $51,000 of borrowed mon-ey, $175,000 from a 2011 Dane County Partners for Recreation and Conserva-tion (PARC) grant, and a $9,000 contribution from the Town of Oregon.
The total estimated cost of constructing the path is $760,000.
The village also applied for a Department of Natu-ral Resources grant in the last week of April.
Village attorney Matt Dregne told the board he is discussing acquiring a wider piece of property with the Department of Corrections.
“We do have the origi-nal 14-foot easement, but they’ve told us we need an additional six feet to meet
stormwater requirements,” Dregne said.
He said the State Build-ing Commission would cons ider the v i l lage’s request in June.
Village President Steve Staton told the Observ-er that the village had planned to build a 10-foot wide path with a three-foot buffer on each side, but the DOC requires a five-foot buffer on each side.
“If by some chance this falls through with DOC, we have another option with Emily Harris,” he said.
The long-term goal is to connect the Oregon Bike Trail with the Bad-ger Ridge Trail a couple miles west of Hwy. CC. The trail leads south to the Wisconsin-Illinois border and north to Madison.

Mixed messages on balanced calendarTask force wants more informationScoTT De LarueLLeUnified Newspaper Group
One year after a school board task force began study-ing a “balanced calendar” for Netherwood Knoll Elemen-tary School, it has recom-mended spreading the idea even wider.
That despite an apparent lack of support from district parents and even its own study.
On Monday, the task force presented a summary of its findings to the school board, suggesting that despite a solid majority of district par-ents being opposed to the idea of a balanced calendar, the district should look into a balanced calendar for all students from kindergar-ten through eighth grade. A recent survey of district parents revealed a higher amount of support for a bal-anced schedule if all schools were on the same schedule, instead of one.
The recommendat ion was not an action item on the agenda, so the board made no decision Monday night, and it remains to be seen how they will react to a proposed expansion of a balanced calendar in light
of the task force’s findings. According to a summary of findings presented Monday night, the task force “did not find definitive research that would contend that a bal-anced calendar has a positive impact on student achieve-ment.”
Prompted by a 2007 school board “vision paper” on a balanced calendar, the task force has met since last July, conducting a parent survey in March. Of the 163 responses to supporting a balanced calendar (distrib-uting 176 school days over 10 or 11 months instead of nine), 55.2 percent wanted to keep the same schedule, with 38.7 percent preferring the balanced calendar (6.1 percent had no preference). Asked their support of a bal-anced calendar if all district schools were included, 55 percent said yes, with 45 per-cent against the idea.
Monday night, the task force recommended it con-tinue to meet to “study the feasibility of partial imple-mentation of a balanced cal-endar to appeal to the 38.7 percent of respondents who support a balanced calen-dar without the district-wide condition,” and that a sepa-rate district-wide task force be formed to study the feasi-bility of “at least” a K-8 bal-anced calendar. Task force
chairman Dan Rikli, prin-cipal of Netherwood Knoll Elementary School, cited “pretty significant” summer learning loss as a main impe-tus for seeking information on a balanced calendar, as well as stress issues for stu-dents and staff.
“Things are different than a few years ago,” he said.
The task force’s FAQ on a balanced calendar states that changing academic expecta-tions and government “chal-lenges and mandates” have “significantly changed” the way school looks and feels.
“Many of the staff feel that these changes have created a more stressful and intense learning environment,” it read. “There is a general con-sensus among the NKE staff in support of spreading out the required 176 school days, with more frequent breaks; thus reducing stress and sum-mer learning loss, while cre-ating happier and more suc-cessful students.”
Task force member and second-grade teacher Andrea DeNure said the group spent a lot of time looking at achievement data, both before and after the summer break.
“There is some significant learning loss in that three-month time,” she said.
District parent Jeff Kling of Oregon said the group was
“doubling down” on a bal-anced calendar when a “large percentage” of parents made it perfectly clear they didn’t want it.
“When did ‘No’ become ‘Yes?’” he asked. “When 61 percent of parents said they didn’t want a balanced calen-dar, and Mr. Rikli’s response is the same concept, but now going through K-8, disrupt-ing more parents lives in the district.
“If math and reading scores and lower than we want them to be, let’s do more math and reading in school.”
Looking to the future, member Steve Zach said board members need to start
thinking about larger items like personalized learning, teacher compensation and a possible balanced calendar, and how they fit into the dis-trict’s long-term planning.
“If we’re going to do some visioning, we need to look at all of those together, because all of them are com-ing together and bumping up against the barriers, and we need to make a deci-sion, how far we want to go with it,” he said. “If you want to move forward with where education is going in this world, that means some fairly dynamic paradigm shifts. We’ve played around the edges for the last five years, if we’re going to move forward on any of them, it’s going to take some work and some collaboration and look-ing at all of these together.”
2014-15 Capital Maintenance Plan
Board members approved three projects be completed for $93,5000 as part of the 2014-15 Capital Mainte-nance Plan: $43,500 for removing asbestos flooring and replacing carpet with Marmoleum flooring in four rooms at Brooklyn Elemen-tary School, replacing car-pet with Marmoleum floor-ing in five rooms at Prairie View Elementary School for $25,500 and spending
$24,500 (which includes $16,400 from the insurance company) to resurface the main gym floor at Oregon High School to correct water damage from last year.
The floors are scheduled to be installed this summer.
Personalized learning update
Citing progress made and work yet to be done, the board approved spending $75,000 from the district’s 2014-15 Fund 10 for profes-sional development for per-sonalized learning during the next four school years. The money will not come out of the district’s fund balance.
Growing numbersFor the 2014-15 school
year, 35 will open enroll out of the district, and 117 will open enroll into the district, said superintendent Brian Busler.
New approachLooking to gather more
input at meetings, board president Dan Krause said he’s going to open up meet-ings in the future to let audi-ence members “chime in” during the meeting itself, and not regulate their comments to the traditional public com-ment period at the beginning of meetings.

due no doubt to a well-cir-culated email sent Friday by a rink supporter ask-ing people to attend Mon-day’s meeting, claiming the school board “informed us they intend to break the 5-year lease for the OASIS space at the Oregon Ice Are-na facility.” The lease with the district, signed last sum-mer, was a contingency for the rink board to sign on to operate the facility.
The email said board member Gwen Maitzen and her “new school board col-leagues” have been pointing to the “unhealthy environ-ment” at the facility as a reason to move the OASIS program and break the lease. The board did not discuss in detail the situation Monday night, as the item was not on its agenda.
Board member Charles Uphoff did say the issue of closing the rink had never before been brought to the board, “so I hope people aren’t overly concerned about that.”
He told attendees he looked forward to oppor-tunity to work with par-ents involved with the rink in addressing any issues involved with the use of the facility.
“This is a good show of interest on your part,” he said.
On Tuesday, board mem-bers Rae Vogler and Mai-tzen told the Observer that the board has not talked about ending its lease with
the OASIS program. At the meeting, Maitzen said “mis-information” spread in the email about her opinion on the ice rink was “hurtful.”
“The way this got orga-nized was something I don’t think you really want to teach your children about,” she told the crowd. “The ice rink is very important. I never said it wasn’t. In the future; lets talk openly and collectively and get your facts straight. We are here to work together to make this the best school district together. I really do believe we are on the same page, so thank you for coming out tonight.”
On Tuesday, Maitzen, who got a round of applause after making her comments, told the Observer she’s got-ten several apologetic emails since the meeting from ice rink supporters.
“I appreciate those people who stepped up,” she said.
Ongoing issuesT h e $ 2 . 5 m i l l i o n ,
42,000-square-foot arena, which opened in 2008 and includes a National Hockey League regulation-size rink, was in the news last summer with an ownership change that saw the State Bank of Cross Plains refinance its mortgage and forgive a sig-nificant portion of debt.
“We’re very encouraged with the opportunity to keep it an ice rink facility and move forward with the new board of directors,” said Jim Tubbs, president of the
State Bank of Cross Plains, in July.
Representatives of the new board signed a five-year lease agreement with the Oregon School District in last summer, as the dis-trict houses Oregon High School’s OASIS (Oregon Alternative School and Inte-grated Studies) program in the facility and had been paying about $40,000 annu-ally to rent the space. The arena’s revenue sources also include Oregon Youth Hockey, Oregon High School Hockey, the Oregon Skating School and a variety of hockey camps.
Ice arena board member Tim LeBrun, speaking to the crowd Monday night, said there has been a lot of “rumor and misinformation” about the ice arena and the OASIS program. He talked about ongoing attempts to
remedy the moisture issue at the rink and said the rink recently passed a third-party test conducted at the behest of the district.
He said the carpet has been replaced with lami-nate flooring, and ceiling tiles have been replaced. Environmental monitoring decides were also installed “so we can better under-stand the conditions that are causing any moisture issue.”
He also thanked school officials for their support.
“The Oregon ice area would not exist without the school district,” he said. “This facility was developed, came to light and operates as a commu-nity asset for the benefit of youth and money other activities. Without your support, that facility will close.”

The Best News
I have sometimes lamented that the problem with life is not that we are not loved, but that we are not loved sufficiently. We all desire to be loved just a bit more than we currently are and perhaps appreciated a bit more for just how wonderful we think we are. But, in reality, we are loved perfectly by God. We shouldn’t expect so much from our fellow man; family and friends do their best to love and be loved in return,
but we are not the best lovers. The prize for best lover clearly goes to God, who made each of us perfect in our own way, and who loves us despite our failings. And what is more, he made the ultimate sacrifice, humbling Himself to appear in human form, being born in the hum-blest of circumstances, and subsequently suffering an ignominious
death usually reserved for the worst of criminals, and doing all of this to give us a good example and to atone for our sins. So rejoice in this
best of news: you are infinitely loved!
- Christopher Simon via Metro News Service
In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his
Son to be the propitiation for our sins.1 John 4:9-10

VETERINARIANQ. Why does my dog love to play loose with other dogs but barks and growls at
other dogs when we’re walking on a leash?
A. Dogs’ behaviors can change dramatically between off and on lead for a variety of reasons, and the change that you’re seeing is not at all unusual. Continuing to socialize your dog off lead is very important, but I would suggest that you also seek out a good group obedience class to teach your dog how to greet politely on a leash in a safe, supervised environment. This will make a huge difference.

SENIOR CAREQ. As I age, what can I do to protect my muscles, bones and joints?
A. Muscles, joints, and bones are vital to movement. They enable us to accomplish complex feats such as downhill skiing and simple tasks like writing with a pencil. Bones provide our basic body structure, joints allow fl exibility of movement, and muscles hold them together to make it all possible. It is important to pay attention to these body parts all the time, not just when they hurt, and to care for them as we age. As we age, our bones lose density, muscles lose fl exibility and joints become worn. This affects mobility and balance, making us more at risk for falling and fracturing bones. Elders are especially prone both to falling and diseases such as osteoporosis and arthritis. Experts say healthy eating habits and moderate exercise can improve and maintain joint mobility, muscle mass, and bone strength. A diet rich in calcium and vitamin D helps maintain bone density. Vitamin D also acts as an
anti-infl ammatory in regards to joint pain, as do omega-3 fatty acids found in fi sh such as tuna and salmon. Maintaining a healthy weight decreases the pressure on our joints and prevents infl ammation of joint tissue. Limiting fat intake from other sources will help maintain a healthy weight and keep fatty tissues from developing in muscles, which weakens them.

INVESTMENT SERVICESQ. I’ve heard there are many different options to think about with taking social security — what
should I do?
A. www.ssa.gov/estimator. The retirement estimator gives estimates based on your actual Social Security earnings record. The website form will ask you for a number of facts, including your name, Social Security number, date and place of birth, your mother’s maiden name, additional information you provide about future earnings, and the age at which you expect to stop working. Based on this information and your actual earnings history as maintained by the Social Security Administration, the Retirement Estimator generates an estimate of the amount you would receive if you were to retire at age 62 (the earliest date you can receive benefits), the amount if you waited until full retirement age (which currently ranges from 65 to 67, based on year of birth), and the larger benefit you would receive if you continued working until age 70 before claiming retirement benefits. You should talk with a financial professional to get more personalized advice.

ATTORNEYQ. How can an attorney help us with a “For Sale by Owner” home sale?
A. An attorney can save a lot of headaches on a FSBO sale. Your attorney will help prepare your real estate condition report and review (or even draft) the offer to purchase. He or she will draft any counter-offers, addendums and amendments required, work with your title insurance company on the closing preparations, review the title insurance commitment, go over the settlement state-ment with you, and advise you on any issues that may arise along the way. Choosing your attorney before listing your property will avoid scheduling issues and ensure you have the professional guidance you need, when you need it.

Wisconsin prepared to cel-ebrate its sesquicentennial the following year, grants were made available for historical societies around the state to help commemo-rate the event.
Sarah Orvick from the Oregon Area Historical Society went to Murphy, who told her that 20 out-fits each for boys, girls and adults would be a huge help for “Pioneer Days.” After the process played out, OAHS received a state grant to create a “Loaning Closet” to help with Pio-neer Days.
In November 1997, a committee at OAHS put out a request for seamstresses, and Dorothy Tauchen con-tacted the Oregon Senior Center about using space, fabric and whatever help it could provide from the “Craft Afternoon” for sew-ing. That’s when a core group of seamst resses stepped in, and sewed many of the clothes the closet still offers today.
A group including Janet Keenan, Pauline Champion, Tauchen, Dorothy David-son, Ruth Hauta, Phyliss Hanson and Nina Noyce made shawls, petticoats, dresses, bonnets and more clothing in the Pioneer style.
“After all the children were able to have a cos-tume, they genuinely par-ticipated in it,” Murphy said. “Before it was like ‘okay…’ Once they had that costume on, they were pioneer children.
“It really did make a big
difference.”The clothes come without
a rental fee, though OAHS does ask for donations when students come for their clothing fittings a week or two before the Pioneer Days celebration at their school. The fittings involve a quick measurement by a volunteer and then a quick try-on of
potential outfits.“At first when they go try
it on, they’re like ‘ah I don’t know,’” said Brooklyn Ele-mentary teacher Kelli Brew-ster. “But once they see that everyone else is wearing it, they really like it.”
That enjoyment also is passed down to younger children at the school who
haven’t experienced Pioneer Days, but generate an inter-est when they see their older peers wearing clothing that stands out from an average 21st Century outfit.
“It also generated a lot of interest in the younger chil-dren in school,” said former Brooklyn Elementary teach-er Betty Manson, who was
around for the first Pioneer Days. “The little kids would see them and it was ‘oh, what’s going on?’ They look forward to fourth grade and Pioneer Days probably from kindergarten on.”
The closet also offers rentals for fifth-graders going through their “Wax Museum” project in which
they dress up as a histori-cal figure they choose. The closet stocks viking helmets, cowboy hats and Native American dresses among their many offerings to try to cover any figure chosen.
“We have an awesome collection of stuff,” OAHS director Melanie Wood-worth said. “We can just Google and Wikipedia and get pictures of those char-acters … and we tell them we’ll do the best we can to get what you need and then we give them ideas.”
The partnership between the schools and the museum surprises some parents, but when they find out about it, they’re generally apprecia-tive of the chance for their students.
“The parents have been very grateful,” said Amanda Wallisch, who took over coordinating the closet last year. “The biggest comment that I’ve heard is ‘we didn’t even know this place exist-ed.’”
Looking for volunteersWoodworth said as the
student population has grown (the closet outfits 350 or so students every year between Pioneer Days and the fifth-grade Wax Museum), repairs and new clothing can be tough to come by.
“On the front end you had this core of women who sewed,” she said.
“It’s a lost art,” Wallisch added.
Anyone interested in vol-unteering for the closet or the historical society’s museum or donating clothing can con-tact the historical society at 835-8961.

Living in the 1800s“Pioneer Days” first came
to Oregon through Brooklyn Elementary School, where it began in 1976. In the 1990s, it spread to the Oregon School District’s other schools and became a tradition for the fourth-grade classes to take part in.
Students play games like marbles, learn how to make candles or soap and see demonstrations on knitting or basket-weaving. Brooklyn and Netherwood Knoll elementary schools held their festivals earlier this year, and Prairie View will hold the final event this year May 23.

Panthers add two more Badger South Conference dual meet victoriesJeremy JoneSSports editor
Oregon boys tennis lost a total of six games in three flights of sin-gles action Tuesday as the Panthers cruised to a 6-1 conference win over Stoughton.

Brady Behrend and Charles Dono-van capped the win with a 6-1, 6-0 and 6-2, 6-2 win at No. 2 and 3 sin-gles, respectively.
Alec Onesti and Dakota Tollakson took their No. 1 doubles match 6-3, 6-3, while Spencer Kresbach and Matt Reisdorf added a 6-2, 6-2 win at No. 3 doubles.
Oregon’s only loss came at No. 2 doubles where with Jackson Wilhelm out sick, Drew Christofferson and Dan Griffith fell 7-6 (4), 6-4.

Panthers fall short at Stoughton in 2-1 lossJeremy JoneSSports editor
Oregon softball clawed back to knot the score in the top of the sixth inning Friday, but were unable to close the door on the host Stoughton Vikings.
Stoughton’s Sarah Seaton and Maddie Sehmer connect-ed on back-to-back doubles in bottom of the sixth inning Friday to power the host Vikings past Oregon 2-1.
Sehmer, who finished 2-for-3 at the plate with a pair of doubles, saved her best for last, knocking in the go-ahead run off the base of the left-center field fence.
Seaton tossed a two-hitter over seven innings, striking out 12.
Thought the Panthers’ lead-off hitter reached base in the first two innings, Seaton respond by striking out the sides. Seaton finished 3-for-3 at the plate with an RBI.
The scored remained 1-0 Stoughton until the top of the sixth when back-to-back walks with one out helped the visiting Panthers knot the score.
Dani Moore dug in and laced an RBI single to center.
Oregon freshmen center fielder Julia Schmidt and catcher Jayme Zander high-lighted a much-improved Panthers’ defensive effort. Schmidt made a superb div-ing catch to rob lead-off hitter Samantha Tepp of a basehit in the bottom of the third.
“Like I’ve said before, there’s a lot of potential all over,” head coach Mike Der-rick said. It’s just finding that right combination and putting the pieces together.”
Vikings’ lead-off hitter Samantha Tepp scored the game’s first run after reach-ing base on a check-swing single. Two batters later the clean-up hitting Seaaton sin-gled into left to place Tepp.
Freshman Lacey Fluck-inger took the loss for Ore-gon, allowing two earned runs on seven hits over six innings.
O r e g o n h a d b e e n 10-runned in its last four-straight games. The Panthers lost 7-1 to Stoughton earlier in the season.

Derrick said was her best var-sity game yet, tossing a one-hitter through five innings as Oregon cruised to a 14-3 win over New Glarus in Mount Horeb on Saturday.
She finished with five strikeouts, but hit two batters that ended up scoring.
Between the Stoughton game and the Mount Horeb tournament, Moore com-bined to got 6-for-8. She was 2-for-2 against New Glarus with three runs scored, five RBIs, a double and a triple.
Kate Spierings (2-for-3), Allie Green (3-for-4) and MacKenzie Kressin com-bined to drive in eight runs. Zander finished 3-for-3 with
a double.Affectionally dubbed
‘Wild Thing” in reference to Charlie Sheen’s character in the movie Major League, freshman Jenna Gratz got the start in the circle in the sec-ond game Saturday against Dodgeville.
While she maybe the hard-est thrower in the Panthers’ bullpen, striking out eight in 4 2/3 innings, Gratz lived up to her nickname, walking eight and hitting two.
Trailing 4-3 entering the fifth, the walks eventually caught up with Oregon.

Kickers bounce back from first conference lossAnthony IozzoAssistant sports editor
The Oregon High School girls soccer team bounced back from its first Badger South Conference loss on May 6 with a win and a tie last week.
The Panthers knocked off Monroe 5-0 on Thurs-day and followed up with a scoreless tie in two over-times at Monona Grove on Tuesday.
Oregon (7-4-1 overall, 2-1-1 conference) had a 14-game conference win-ning streak – which started in 2011 – snapped in a 1-0 loss to Fort Atkinson on May 6.
But head coach Julie Grutzner said the Panthers are playing like the bet-ter team despite the close games. They just aren’t get-ting the bounces to go their way yet.
In Tuesday’s win, not only did Oregon outshoot Monona Grove, but they also held the Silver Eagles to just two shots.
A lot of that comes from holding two girls Grutzner said will most likely be All-State players and who are also being looked at by Division I schools – Sava-nah and Sienna Cruz –to no goals.
“We are attacking and attacking well with num-bers,” Grutzner said. “It
was a great defensive effort. When you only give up two shot to a team like that, it is really good. I am excited from what I am seeing from our girls, and the level of play has really picked up.
“... We still have an out-side shot to win conference, but our goal is still to go to state.”
Oregon had a goal called back on an offsides call and another ball hit the post in Tuesday’s tie.
Freshman Abby Bre-itbach finished with two saves, while MG’s Saman-tha Kinsler collected six saves.
The Panthers continue the season at 5 p.m. Thursday at Whitefish Bay and trav-els to Mansfield Stadium to take on Madison Memorial at 8 p.m. Friday.
Oregon finishes the week at 7 p.m. Tuesday at home against Milton.
Oregon 5, Monroe 0The Panthers scored three
times in the first half to run away from the Cheesemak-ers last Thursday.
Makenna Fanning and Kr i s t in Marsha l l each scored two goals, while Paityn Fleming added a goal and an assist. Kelsey Jahn added two assists, while Holly Kaboord added an assist.

Oregon fought back with four runs over the final four innings, but was unable to dig itself out of an early six-run deficit.
Ridgeway’s Aaron Cal-vert sparked a five-run first inning for the host Cardi-nals with a two-run double.
Zach Arnerson worked 7 1/3 for Ridgeway, striking out seven and walking. He scattered five hits, but did not allow a run.

Oregon rugby club qualifies for state
The Oregon/Stoughton rugby club secured a state playoff spot and will be a No. 4-seed when they defeated the Madison West rugby club 12-5 last Mon-day.

The second half was a game of defense with strong rucking.
O/S held West off until the closing minute when West finally scored, but missed the conversion, final score 12-5.
F r i d a y s m a t c h w a s against the Middleton rug-by club decided the team’s seeding. Middleton was No. 2 in state last year.
Once aga in though , O/S showed great ruck-ing, but in the last minute of the first half Middleton scored its second try and led 10-0 at half. Middleton
dominated O/S scrums in the second half and stole all hooks.
After a couple overloads to the backs, Middleton ended up securing the third seed with the 36-5 win.
Will Zeichert (Stough-ton) scored a nice try from a quick penalty play 10 meters out.
The Oregon/Stoughton Rugby Club will play the Pulaski rugby club on May 22 in Neenah.
The top four teams from the Badgerland Conference will play the top four teams from the North East Wis-consin (NEW) Conference.

all the different people,” he told the Observer. “I couldn’t even begin to tell you all the different board members I’ve worked with over the years. And of course, I like working with the commu-nity.
“When I first started, it felt like I knew everybody in town and where they lived and what kind of cars they drove,” Below add-ed. “But that was back when the village had 2,000 people.”
Growing painsNow, with the village nearing
a population of 10,000, Below said he’s enjoyed being a part of Oregon’s growth. He thinks vil-lage officials have planned that progress “very methodically” in a “well-thought out” way, and “overall the village has improved over the years.”
But the subdivisions that sprang up on the west side in the late 1990s and “all through the 2000s” (until the latest recession) also caused some headaches.
“There were subdivisions going in one after the other,” he recalled. “People couldn’t move here fast enough.”
As the village’s zoning admin-istrator and public works direc-tor, Below had his hands full keeping track of it all. It meant more parks and streets to main-tain and more paperwork to stay on top of.
Around the time the Great Recession hit in 2007 and the building slowed, the village’s budget for supplies and person-nel also started to dry up and public works lost three of four
temporary summer-employee positions.
And then it got really tough.In August 2007, a so-called 100-
year storm dumped a record 8.13 inches of rain in less than 48 hours on the village and caused flooding in several neighborhoods.
Below remembers the event and its aftermath as one of the most challenging times in his ten-ure here. The village eventually bought and removed six homes from Florida Avenue, along with the street itself, which was turned into parkland.
But he also considers the work the village did the following year, replacing a 72-inch stormwater culvert and renovating the down-town, as a couple of the munici-pality’s biggest accomplishments of the past 40 years.
‘On top of’ everythingAt a Village Board meeting on
April 21, Village President Steve Staton praised Below for his years of service.
He recalled first being elected to the board and thinking that being the director of public works “can’t be that tough a job – you cut grass and plow snow and keep people happy,” Staton said.
He has discovered otherwise.
“There’s so much more to it than that,” he said. “You look in Mark’s office and see all the things he has as far as blueprints and developers agreements and plans and documents, and you see how on top he is of all that.”
Below’s knowledge of the vil-lage, Staton said, is particularly remarkable.
“With every property, he knows what type of water line goes to it, whether it’s lead, and what needs to be done and what’s under the streets,” Staton said. “Mark is a quiet, unassuming person who’s very dedicated to his job and doing things right. He’s invaluable to the village.”
Later asked about Staton’s com-pliments, Below admitted feeling a little embarrassed. Then he put his own spin on being the person that others always seem to turn to for answers about village history.
“I’m what they call a dino-saur – something that’s been in one place that many years,” he said with a laugh. “But I enjoy answering people’s questions. ... It’s nice to help people in the vil-lage when they need an answer and it’s also nice for the people who work for me. I try to share everything I know about the vil-lage to make their jobs easier.”
Grew up hereBelow was born in Clintonville
and moved to Oregon in 1961, when his dad, an employee with the Department of Corrections, was transferred to Oakhill Cor-rectional Institution.
He’s lived in the village almost his entire life since then. He graduated from Oregon High School in 1972, married in 1973 and started working for the vil-lage the following year.
He and his wife, Carol, have three adult children and four grandkids.
The family owns a cottage on a lake in Waupaca County, about 2.5 hours away.
“We try to get there most week-ends in the summer,” Mark said. “Up there I swim and I go fishing quite a bit. My brothers and I have some hunting land up there, too, and we do some hiking.
“I used to hunt real hard, but I’ve kind of backed off and I’m more the camp cook now,” he continued. “We go up once or twice a year to deer hunt. We play poker, and I help the guys drag the deer back. But I don’t like the cold and don’t have the patience anymore.”
“It’s hard to imagine him not having patience in any situation.”
Staton noted that Below quietly goes about his job in a very thor-ough way, and that “he’s always respectful and has a good sense of humor.”
“He’s just fun to work with,” Staton said. “His knowledge and experience just can’t be replaced. He just does a really, really good job.”

Student art displayedOregon High School held the
15th annual Fine Arts exhibi-tion and auction on April 17, featuring 2013-2014 student artwork. Drawings, paintings, photographs and sculptures were exhibited on tables and verti-cal boards with about 100 stu-dents, teachers, family members, local artists, board members and administrators in attendance.
There was high traffic around State Silver Key Art winner Jen Zernick’s anatomy illustra-tions, and a lot of chatter about junior Alexa Uselman’s photo-realistic charcoal and pastel por-traits. Sophomore, Daisy Garrett dazzled viewers with her dark, yet comical illustrations, while senior Dani Loomis fascinated viewers with her charcoal por-trait and mixed media pieces.
Another senior, Casey Bonno, impressed viewers with her digi-tal drawing illustrations. Amanda Blackwell showed her leadership skills by helping as the spokes-person for the art auction and Mystery Box fundraiser. With the assistance of OHS teachers and students, the “Seeds of Inspira-tion” were thrown on the pottery wheel, designed with glass as a mosaic, and planted with some of the agriculture department’s greenhouse plants.
A combination of student art-work, community member’s art pieces, and the “Seeds of Inspira-tion” potted plants helped earn $500. This will allow the art department to continue the tra-dition of an art scholarship to a senior this year. To make a dona-tion, or for information, contact art chair Mike Derrick at [email protected].

Shirlee Martinson
Shirlee A. Martinson, age 78, passed away May 6, 2014, at University Hospital, Madison after a brief illness.
She was born May 22, 1935, in Madison to Elmer and Catherine (Gutzmann) Men-igoz.
As a child Shirlee lived in Madison and Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Returning to Madison with her fam-ily as a teenager, Shirlee worked so she could attend Edgewood High School. She will be greatly missed by her special friends from Edgewood Graduation Class of 1953.
During the time when Shir lee’s kids were in school, she worked for Oregon Middle School as a teacher’s aide. She loved snow days when she could stay at home; make a big pot of soup and homemade
bread while her kids played in the snow.
Shirlee loved the out-doors, especially camping at Devil’s Lake and cross country trips in the station wagon with the camper in tow, visiting many of the national parks during her lifetime. She passed this love for the outdoors on to her kids and grandkids.
Shirlee worked as a sec-retary for Martinson Imple-ment in Brooklyn for many years and finished her career working as an administra-tive assistant for a group of doctors in Madison.
She was an avid seam-stress, making clothes for herself and kids as they were growing up. She also
made beautiful quilts for herself and her family. She also enjoyed gardening and planting wildflowers. Her home was always surround-ed by beautiful flowers.
In her retirement years, Shirlee and her husband Bill would spend their summers on Lake Wisconsin and their winters in Florida. They made many dear friends at the South Shore Resort in Lake Wales. They later bought a home in Lake Ash-ton near Winter Haven.
Shirlee is survived by her husband of 35 years, Bill; children, Rick (Cathy) Schmale , Ka thy ( J im) Beyer, Lisa Grumann, Teri (Don) Nolden; Bill’s chil-dren, Paula (Brian) Ricker,
Martha (Eric) Grover, Bill (Chris) Martinson; eleven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. She is further survived by her sis-ters, Mary (Don) Janquart, Joan (John) Paitl; sister-in-law, Michelle Menigoz; special aunt, Margaret; extended family in Upper Michigan and many nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents and a brother, Joe.
The family would like to thank the St. Louis Univer-sity Hospital ICU doctors and nurses and the caring doctors and nurses at UW Hospital in Madison.
A Mass of Christian Buri-al will be held at 11 a.m.
on Tuesday, May 20, 2014 at Blessed Trinity Roman Catholic Parish, St. Patrick Church, 515 Fair St., Lodi, with Father Chad Droessler presiding. Visitation will be at the church on Tuesday from 9 a.m. until the time of Mass.
In lieu of flowers, memo-rials may be made to the Auxiliary Hospitality House at Saint Louis University Hospital or Friends of Dev-ils Lake State Park. To view and sign this guestbook, please visit: www.ryanfu-neralservice.com.
