History guru teaches about Civil War eraSCott De LarueLLeUnified Newspaper Group

One-hundred-and-fifty years ago, teenagers and young men right off the farms of Dane County went off to fight – and die – in the Civil War.

Thankfully for the Bad-ger State, batt les were fought far from home, but the effects were felt all over Wisconsin, as more than 12,000 men from the state died during the war, of the 91,000-plus who served. The impact on the area’s history was great, and though it’s faded by the passing of each generation, people like Lyle Laufen-berg do their part to pass on importance of remembering the Civil War, and those who fought in it.

Laufenberg, a life-long Dane County resident and Oregon School District teacher of 41 years, just can’t shake the history bug during his recent retirement years. And the students at Rome Corners Intermediate School who know him as a faithful volunteer and “liv-ing history” guru, they are all the better for it.

Laufenberg, who’s volun-teered at the school for the past five years, sets up shop in an open team area a few times a week during stu-dents’ lunch breaks, talking about history in general, but more specifically about the Civil War.

“It’s an interesting group, and the kids find the Civil War interesting,” he said. “I don’t focus on war and blood and guts, rather the time period that made it quite a shift in this coun-try’s history.”

Not coincidentally, he started getting interested in history at about the same age as the kids.

“I was in grade school

and had a cousin who did some research on the Laufenberg family history and background, and there turned out to be knights and castles over in Germa-ny; part of Charlemagne’s rea lm,” he sa id . “I ’ve

always been interested in history, but my parents were tenant farmers, so we moved frequently and didn’t have a lot of ties.”

Historic Places. He hopes eventually to

turn the building into a wel-come center for Oregon residents and visitors to the community. He also hopes to enlist the help of folks from the Oregon Senior Center in staffing a future welcome center.

“It could be to welcome people coming into town, or also it could be for people in the village to use it for any-thing that seems appropri-ate,” he said.

Glysch planned to discuss the idea with the village’s Historic Preservation Com-mission on Wednesday this week, and later seek Village Board approval.

Glysch last held a fund-raiser for the restoration proj-ect on March 30 at Mason’s

on Main. At that point, he’d almost single-handedly raised $5,000 for the project, which added to an existing village water tower fund of about $3,300.

Glysch told the Observer on Monday that the account now has $12,735, and he plans to hold another fund-raiser as soon as the Village Board approves it.

“We’re going to push brick pavers as a new kind of fund-raiser, for the walkway up to the front door,” he said. “I’ve worked out a good deal with Madison Block and Stone for some really nice pavers.”

The pavers would come in two sizes: 8-inches-by-8 inches, and 8-inches-by-16 inches. “The 8-by-8 is going to be $150 with the

engraving; the 8-by-16 will be $275,” Glysch said.

Glysch said his long-term goal is to raise $40,000 for the project.

At Wednesday’s meet-ing, Glysch was scheduled to discuss and seek approval for tuckpointing the building, cleaning its exterior brick and repainting its trim. He was also planning propose a new “gooseneck lighting fix-ture” for the building.

Once the tuckpointing is finished, he plans to begin planting and making land-scaping improvements on the building grounds.

“All the landscaping plants are waiting for me,” he said. “June 28 is when we’re going to install the landscaping.”

Glysch secured donations of plants and other landscap-ing elements from several area businesses.

He’s also received a new bench that was donated by the family of Dick and Don-na Sheil.

Glysch said once the vil-lage approves his various plans for the pump house, he’ll still needs the approval of the State Historical Soci-ety because the building is on the State Register.

Since the early 1980s, the building has been used most-ly for storage and has gradu-ally deteriorated.

OREGON!St. John’s Lutheran Church wants to thank the community of Oregon for the continued support of our Fish Fry Fundraisers. What started in 2006 as a way to help an individual in need, has become so much more! Since 2006, you have helped our fundraising efforts to raise over $65,000. Our latest events raised $5,300 for the Helping Hands Fund, Oregon Food Pantry and the NINA Fund. Thrivent Financial for Lutherans has approved $2,500 in matching funds to also be distributed between these three local funds. In addition, $63 was given for the Guatemala eye glass ministry.

Only five projects chosen from 86 in stateSCott De LarueLLeUnified Newspaper Group

It’s hard to get students to sign up by the dozens for a class, but that’s exactly what’s happening at Ore-gon High School, where staff recently won a $2,000 grant for the Oregon High School video game devel-opment class.

The OHS proposal was one of only five projects chosen from 86 applica-t ions for a Wiscons in Retired Educators Asso-ciat ion (WREA) grant . WREA officials said it was the highest rated due to its creativity and because they like seeing students develop things, said district tech-nology director Jon Tan-ner. The school has spent a portion of the funds on new monitors for students.

“Students are getting the training and hands-on expe-rience to take advantage of this cutting-edge opportu-nity,” he said.

The OHS program start-ed in September 2012, w h e n t h e f i r s t V i d e o Game Development class launched as part of the Technology Education pro-gram. Teacher Erik Haak-enson said the impetus for beginning the program was both requests from students and the knowledge that video games are rapidly growing job market with opportunities for program-mers, artists, writers and musicians. Students started with low-level software and have progressed to using high-end, industry-standard 3D game technology. The interdisciplinary work is also connecting students who may not normally col-laborate, with tech ed stu-dents working with the high school music department to develop musical scores for games, and with the art department to develop visu-al art for the games.

Haakenson, who last year presented information on the program to the SLATE (School Leaders Advancing Technology in Education) conference, said the class provides students with con-nections to the “real world,” including bringing in game design professionals from nearby Raven software to answer questions, describe

what it’s like to develop games and give students tips on their work. He said students were “thrilled” to get feedback from a devel-oper who worked on the popular Call of Duty game franchise.

And no doubt, the vide game development class is popular among students, who have already filled two sections for next school year, with a growing wait-ing list.

Oregon named 21st safest city in state

A home security and safety organization named Oregon one of Wiscon-sin’s 50 safest cities.

SafeWise, which focus-es on comparing top secu-rity providers to allow consumers to best protect their homes, compiled the list based on the list of crimes in part one of the FBI Unified Crime Report data.

That data focuses on violent crimes like aggra-vated assault, forcible rape, murder and robbery and property crimes such as arson, burglary, larce-ny-theft and motor vehicle theft.

Oregon placed 21st on the list, just behind Kaukauna and ahead of DeForest.

SafeWise found Oregon

had .32 violent crimes and 12.97 property crimes per 1,000 residents.

"In Wisconsin, direct involvement from both the police departments and citizens helps foster safe and positive environ-ments," SafeWise security analyst Carolyn Heneghan said in a press release. "All 50 cities on our list made an impressive effort to maintain a sense of security for residents, while ensuing an excellent quality of life.”

The city of Freedom topped the l ist , while Altoona ended the list at 50.

Only cities with popu-lation above 5,000 were considered.

Police rePortsReports taken from Oregon

Police log book.

March 287:30 p.m. A 36-year-old

woman reported she had been stranded in Madison since March 25, and could not get to her apartment on the 500 block of South Perry Parkway to feed her cat. She told police she had no way back to Oregon and no friends or family to take care of the cat. The woman asked the officer to provide the cat with food and water, and said her apartment door was unlocked. An officer fed and watered the cat and con-tacted the Humane Society.

March 3010:03 p.m. A 34-year-old

man reported his 36-year-old neighbor on the 500 block on Main Street was using the building’s washing machine, which creates a lot of noise. The man said the noise wakes his child. The 36-year-old said he would try to avoid doing laundry after 9 p.m. when possible. The reporter was concerned neighbors might retaliate for his complaining, and will call back if problems come up.

March 315:30 p.m. A 67-year-old

man reported his 60-year-old neighbor on the 200 block of Oak Street was spreading that he was a thief and stole her oxycodone. The man denied he took any oxycodone and wanted the woman to stop talking about him. Police told the two to not have any further contact with each other.

5:30 pm. A 29-year-old man came into the police station to pay a parking ticket. The man was upset about the ticket and said to

the police department clerk that the ticket was extortion and police “better watch (their) back.” Police contact-ed the man at his residence and told him about the court process to dispute a ticket and discussed his behavior and comments at the police station. The man called the department and apologized to the clerk.

6:30 p.m. A 47-year-old man and woman found a pile of material under a pine tree in their yard on the 600 block of Sumac Street. The material was crystalized with yellow, blue and green colors and had a strong chemical odor. They called the DNR, and after that they suspected it could have been waste from a meth cook. The woman had smelled the odor for around a month, but just found the material the day before around 9:30 a.m. They cleaned up the material in trash bags and hosed the area down.

April 15:35 p.m. A 52-year-old

woman reported a wild ani-mal that looked like a wood-chuck or muskrat was in their family’s window well on the 700 block of Leeward Lane. When police arrived, the family had already freed the animal.

history buff, the two immediate-ly got more interested in the time period, immersing themselves as historical re-enactors and educa-tors.

Laufenberg said he gets a lot out of an authentic “re-enactor” expe-rience, though his body doesn’t respond like it used to.

“I’ve had to be a little bit care-ful with my back after I had back surgery, and the marching is get-ting a little hard on my feet,” he chuckled.

Live fireWhen he really wants to get up

close and personal with the Civil War, Laufenberg helps load, aim and fire an authentic 12-pound 1863 “Napoleon” cannon from Battery B of the Wisconsin 2nd Infantry, a group of southern Wis-consin-based re-enactors. The gun (which Laufenberg said is techni-cally a gun/howitzer because it can be elevated like a howitzer but fired like a gun), belongs to the Wisconsin National Guard and was forged by the Revere Copper Company, founded by Revolution-ary War icon Paul Revere.

In history, the soldiers of the 2nd Wisconsin Volunteer Infan-try Regiment (as well as the 6th and 7th) were comprised of sev-eral units from Dane County such as the “Stoughton Light Guard,” “The Randall Guards” and “The Anderson Guards.”

The 2nd Wisconsin was one of the first regiments to fight in 1861, suffering severe casualties at the inaugural Battle of Bull Run (Manassas, Va.), where their gray uniforms with black trim caused friendly fire, Laufenberg said, one of many humbling events for a confident Union army.

“There was a great amount of enthusiasm to get the war over in 90 days in one good battle,” he said.

Laufenberg said there are a variety of types of people who are Civil War re-enactors. Some of the hard-core, detail-oriented ones call themselves “progressive or authentics,” (otherwise known by some a bit derisively as “stitch-counters”), while Laufenberg said he and his comrades in the 2nd Wisconsin simply try to match their gear to that of the day, as best as possible, without getting their wool britches in a bundle.

“We just try to be reasonably authentic, because you can never totally re-create it from back then - the weaving was different, slightly different materials,” he said. “The uniforms I have are made from patterns of the time, the materials are as close as we can get.

“The Civil War was a non-stan-dard war – the uniforms were of a lot of variety, because they tended to need things in a hurry.”

Battery B is made up of around

two dozen members from all over the southern part of the state and as far north as Green Bay, who have participated in events around state and as far away as the Get-tysburg in southern Pennsylvania. The group does much of its work with schools, giving presentations throughout the year to groups big and small. Members also spend considerable time on training, to make sure everyone is capable of different roles, depending who can make an event on a particular day.

“One fellow used to drive in all the way from Fargo,” Laufenberg said.

Passing on knowledgeSo why in the world do people

drive to Dane County from Fargo, and visit schools every week to talk about something that hap-pened so long ago?

It depends who you ask, of course.

For Laufenberg, the Civil War is and always will be important for kids – and adults – to know about, because it ended slavery and fun-damentally changed the nature of how all Americans viewed them-selves and their country.

At a terrible cost in blood, the union had been preserved.

“Up until 1861, you were the 34 ‘un-tied’ states, and everybody

said, ‘Well, we could break off if we really wanted to,’” he said. “Massachusetts talked about it during the War of 1812, South Carolina in the 1820s and ‘40s and ‘50s before they were actually the first to do it.

“Before the war, the United States ‘are’ a country - after the war, the United States ‘is’ a coun-try.”

Perhaps just as important, his-torical re-enactors like Laufenberg honor the everyday people who experienced the horrors of the Civ-il War, hoping to keep their lives as normal as possible before they returned.

“These were real people going through real things away from home, and trying to get back information; they’ve got friends and families,” he said. “It’s tough times. It isn’t all blood and bugles and glory. It’s dealing with life as you have it.”

To help carry home the very personal nature of what soldiers were going through, Laufenberg carries a beat-up, Civil War-era tintype – about 2 by 3 inches – of two young girls. The identity of the owner of the tintype – and the girls – is probably lost to history, but the message remains.

“My two daughters are grown up now, but at one time they were about the age of 4 and 6 – about the ages of the girls in this picture – and my girls would have looked somewhat like that,” he said. “It’s one of those things you would have carried; family was impor-tant.”

Benefit car show set for May 31Supports Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation

For Jason Frederick, this fundraiser is personal.

He started the car show four years ago to ben-efit the Crohn’s and Coli-tis Foundation, because he knows first-hand the deb i l i t a t ing e f fec t s o f the diseases. He has suf-fered from Colitis since the eighth grade and for the past seven years has developed Crohn’s Dis-ease.

Frederick, 22, had five surgeries last year due to the diseases, and lost his uncle, Denny Knoble, who suffered from Colitis. But he said he’s not taking his situation lying down.

T h a n k s t o g e n e r o u s car enthusiasts from all over the area, last year’s

fundraiser collected nearly $3,000 to help fight the diseases, and he’s hoping to exceed that total May 31 at Prairie View Ele-mentary.

Registrat ion star ts at 9 a.m. and the show runs from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The registration fee is $10 per car , and spectators are free, with donations “much appreciated.”

Dash plaques wil l be given to the first 50 cars and trophy plaques will be given out for first and

second place in 12 dif-ferent categories. Food, drinks and baked goods

will also be available for sale.

F r e d e r i c k a l s o h a s a team walking in the “Take S teps Walk fo r C r o h n ’ s a n d C o l i t i s ” event at Warner Park in Madison on June 14 and welcomes anyone who wishes to join along.

And the beat goes onAnother art award for OHS’ Zernick

Oregon High School senior Jen-nifer Zernick is cleaning up the awards this year. She earned sec-ond place in the recent Annual Congressional Art Competition entitled “An Artistic Discovery.”

Her painting was a creatively designed acrylic painting titled,

“Faces of Us.” At an April 24 cere-mony at the Verona Public Library, she received her award from U.S. Rep. Mark Pocan of Wisconsin’s 2nd District. There were 30 entries from various schools in the district.

Zernick’s winning piece will be displayed in Pocan’s Washington D.C. office for the next year. “It is such an inspiration to see the cre-ative artwork as I head to the house to vote,” Pocan said.

The Good News

Imagine a newscast every evening with headlines such as “Crime Is Down” and “Charitable Giving Is Up” and “People Are Helping Others

Everywhere.” Miracle of Miracles, that is indeed the case in many places around the world, but you wouldn’t know it from watching the news. But, perhaps one way to put all of this good news in perspec-tive is to realize that people helping others is such a commonplace practice that it doesn’t make the news unless it’s something really extraordinary. Likewise, the millionaires and billionaires who give

generously have become so commonplace that they even have their own club and well over a hundred have signed onto a pledge, the so-called “Giving Pledge,” which commits them to give away the

bulk of their fortunes. People who perform horrific acts of cruelty or commit heinous crimes are pretty much the exception to the rule of

people acting decently, and that is why their heinous crimes make the news. It’s just too shocking to ignore. So, perhaps we should remind ourselves every day of the Good News that is all around and spread

the word to others.

From the fruit of his mouth a man eats what is good, but the desire of the treacherous is for violence.

Stamp of approval OHS students place in national art contest

The coming of spring brings the return of ducks and all sorts of waterfowl to Wisconsin, so it’s only fitting that this time of the year marks the return of a national duck stamp competition.

Ten Oregon High School stu-dents were recognized for their recent submissions for the annual U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Junior Federal Duck Stamp com-petition, including several who earned top finishes. Senior Eliza Neidhart took first place with her watercolor painting of a pair of blue-winged teal, while fel-low seniors Abby Meier and Jen Zernick garnered second place finishes. This was the third year Zernick placed in the competition and the second for Meier. Junior Marissa Wedderspoon earned a third place ribbon with her acryl-ic painting. Earning honorable mention awards were: seniors Ashley Quamme and Ellerey Nault, juniors Rosilyn Phillips and Alyssa Sieger and sopho-mores Samantha Girard and Jil-lian Moss.

The contest was created more than two decades ago to raise awareness and appreciation for wetlands and waterfowl con-servation for students in grades K-12. It is modeled after the Federal Duck Stamp Contest for adult artists. Students create original artwork showing North American ducks, geese, or swans in their natural habitats.

The national competition is held on Friday, April 18,, and the top winner’s piece will be made into the Junior Duck Stamp, which the U.S. Fish and Wildlife

Service will sell for $5 to raise money for wildlife awareness and education.

OHS art instructor Michael Derrick said the competition was the perfect opportunity for students to learn about conserva-tion and meet many of the state and national standards regarding the inclusion of environmental education into the curriculum. They began the project with a presentation about the conser-vation movement that began in the 19th century to protect natu-ral resources and habitat for the future, and learned many promi-nent leaders of the conservation movement had Wisconsin ties, including John Muir, Aldo Leo-pold and the “Dean of Wildlife Artists,” Owen Gromme.

“Students were impressed to discover that John Muir was actually a teacher in the Oregon School District early on in his conservation career,” Derrick

said. Gromme, a Fond du Lac

native, was one of the first artists to use his art and influences to raise millions of dollars for con-servation causes.

Find out moreThe 2014 Wisconsin Junior

Duck Stamp Design Contest drew 392 entries from students across the state. The top 36 win-ning entries from the state will be showcased in two traveling dis-plays across the state from May through March 2015.

“Each year the amount of detail these young artists achieve in their artwork is amazing,” said Katie Goodwin, Wisconsin Fed-eral Junior Duck Stamp State Coordinator.

Pat would eventually become the main caretaker of his parents’ herd, which includes about 40 main milking cows, allowing him to become the skilled in everything about cattle.

Learning, growing and caring for farm animals are values Pat aims to pass on to younger generations.

His farming experience, education, including a 1988 farming and industry asso-ciate degree at University of Wisconsin-Madison, and passion for the animals has led him to allow youth, from ages 8 or 9 to high school, to show his herd, which has a total of 112 Brown Swiss cattle.

It’s something he learned to enjoy through watching his parents Tom, 81, and Jeanne, 80, as 4H leaders when he was a kid.

But Pat said his teachings go beyond showing cattle. He wants students to know how to care for their animal thoroughly – from ensur-ing a proper diet to how to groom it – and he watches as they build a bond that goes beyond simply using the cattle to win fair competi-tions. His goal is for them to also learn sound animal care, cultivation and breed-ing from the start of a calf’s life.

Always availablePat’s dedication to teach-

ing kids about cattle is part of what makes him an “amazing teacher,” said Becki Clark, parent of Baily Clark, who’s shown with Caine for nearly three years.

“He’s constantly telling them what’s going on with the calf,” she said. “All the ins and outs about ‘This is how it’s born, and this is how it eats.’ The kids are extremely comfortable with him and have a great time.”

Though it’s not uncom-mon for local kids who are growing up in the suburbs to find a farm that lets them use their animals for show-ing, said Becki, Pat’s flex-ibility in working with the kids’ schedule and always

being willing to answer their questions makes him an invaluable mentor.

Parent Pam Beyler said Caine is always willing to work around her daughter’s schedule. Jordan, an OHS sophomore is showing cattle with Caine for the first time, and her younger sister Cait-lin, who’s been showing with Caine for nearly three years, will reach out weekly to come out to the farm.

“They just call him up, and he says, “Yeah, come on over to the farm,” Pam said.

Beyler and Clark agreed Caine’s students adore him. Oregon FFA adviser Jillian Beaty, who spoke with the Star last week, added that a group he mentored last year even made T-shirts in his honor that read “Team Caine.”

They also agreed that Caine is the last person who would want to receive any recognition for the time he spends teaching the kids.

“He says he’ll do it as long as kids want to show,” Becki said.

A coach and teacher The students show their

cattle at the Stoughton Junior Fair, World Dairy Expo and Dane County and state fairs.

C a i n e ’ s t e a c h i n g i s “hands-on,” said Becki, meaning he’ll walk with the student to illustrate how to show the animal as well as care for it. And he invites them to come learn on their own time. For example, the Clark family went out to the 300-acre farm on a Saturday in March to see one of the new calves being born.

Typically, Caine works with about eight to 10 kids weekly and helps out during competition time, too. Caine provides the transportation for animals to the fair while the families pay for items like hay bales for the cattle.

Even though he works full time on a dairy farm with one farm hand and helps out his parents, Caine still finds the time to make each com-petition.

“During fair time, Pat is there as soon as he’s done milking his cows to 11 p.m. at night,” said Becki Clark.

Long-time showersEven though Caine has

been working with kids for years, the process to get started is pretty informal.

There’s no application process. The kids start working with him by simply asking.

“Whoever wants to show … they can,” Caine said.

Most hear about h is

mentoring through word of mouth or because their parents know him through growing up in the Oregon-Fitchburg area. Kids have to have a certain amount of education “points” or credits built up in their respective organizations to ensure they are familiar with the animal and its needs before they can begin. When asked how much time he spends work-ing with the kids, he said it was hard for him to estimate that because “it’s not about time.”

“You know, the way I look at it, it’s great for the kids to do this,” he told the Star. “It’s a good way to introduce some of the farm practices … for kids that don’t have the opportunity to work with cattle.”

Caine’s mother, Jeanne, recalls their family first started to show animals in the Stoughton Junior Fair around 1947, and said she isn’t surprised her son has continued to work with youth as long as he has.

“He does it because the kids want to show,” she said.

Strong bondsIn addition to the edu-

cational value, Pat insists having fun and being safe are his priorities for the stu-dents. For the most part, he said, they are dedicated, and he’s never had a safety or behavioral issue.

“Throughout the years,

I’ve worked with some of the best kids and some of the best parents that you could ever ask for,” he said.

Although Caine doesn’t have kids of his own, Becki Clark said he loves his cattle as he would his children. The kids pick up on the strong bonds he has with his herd.

“You develop a relation-ship,” Caine said. “My own cows have got individual personalities. I treat them as individuals, not as a group.”

Letting the kids name the cattle – yes, they all have names and Pat knows each one by heart – helps nurture that bond so they “make friends,” with the animal they work with, Caine said. Caitlin Beyler will again show the same animal she did a year ago, a winter yearling heifer she named “Munch.”

Beaty describes him as an “open and caring” per-son who has been involved with Oregon FFA for a long time and who has enriched the area with his efforts and who also has won the FFA’s annual Outstanding Family Farm Award in 2013.

“He’s just such an asset to the community,” she said. “(He’s someone who) we all love.”

Jeanne said Pat’s work with the kids “is a lot of fun” but it doesn’t just benefit the community.

“It’s been a great thing for both him and the kids,” she said. “For all of us really, I should say.”

What’s fair time like?

Participating in a fair is similar to a weekend-long sporting competition that youth prepare for starting in April. Showing is done in front of judges and the student will present their cattle, which will be judged on different criteria from how they look to how they act.

The kids will spend all day at the fair-grounds on fair days. That can entail get-ting up before 5 a.m. to wash and groom their cattle and clean out their pens and, of course, show them in competition. The day can last past 11 p.m. or longer.

Panthers earn No. 7 seed for WIAA D1 playoffsAnthony IozzoAssistant sports editor

The Oregon High School baseball team learned it is a No. 7 seed in sectional 5 for this year’s WIAA Division 1 playoffs.

The Panthers open the playoffs with a regional semifinal matchup against No. 10 Monona Grove. Last season, Oregon defeated MG on the road to make the regional final.

This season, the Panthers host the regional semifinal on June 3. The winner trav-els to No. 2 Stoughton on June 5 for a chance to make sectionals.

Oregon continues the sea-son with two home games – Thursday against Monona Grove and Tuesday against Oconomowoc. Both games are at 5 p.m.

Ft. Atkinson 9, Oregon 0Senior Pierce Peterson

picked up the only two hits for the Panthers on May 14 in a 9-0 loss at Fort Atkin-son.

Sen io r Logan Lask i picked up the loss. He went 3 1/3 innings and allowed three earned runs on six hits. He walked two and struck out one.

Junior Travis Fluckiger pitched 2 1/3 innings and allowed two earned runs on four hits. He walked two. Junior Luke Mueller fin-ished the final 1/3 inning and struck out a batter.

Andrew Hozli picked up the win for the Blackhawks. He pitched five innings and allowed one hit and two walks. He struck out seven.

oregon’s relays, hurdles propel Panthers at Badger South Conference meetAnthony IozzoAssistant sports editor

Oregon boys and girls track and field head coach Ned Lease did the math and figured Monona Grove and Monroe were going to score above

140 points before Tuesday’s Badger South Conference meet at Stoughton High School.

He expected around 90 for his squad.

But on the strength of a first and two-place finishes by the relays and two first in the hurdles, the Panthers were able to finish in third with 110 points, exceeding some expectations.

“We have one of the most well-rounded teams out there,” Lease said. “We have the hurdles covered. We have the jumps covered. We

have the distance covered. We have the sprints covered. We have the relays covered.

“I was pleased.”The 4x200 team of senior

Lance Peterson, sophomore Lucas Mathews, senior Jawon Turner and junior Josh Sromovsky took first in 1:31.81. That same team took second in the 4x100 in 44.07.

Senior No. 1 doubles players Dakota Tollakson (right) and Alec Onesti celebrate a point in their third-set victory over Madison Edgewood last Wednesday. Tollakson and Onesti started slow but finished strong, winning 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 to help propel the Panthers to a 4-3 victory that is believed to be the team’s first win over the Badger South Conference rival Crusaders.

Panthers finally put away CrusadersJeremy JoneSSports editor

In a Badger South Conference dual match chalked so fully of drama that you could have cut the tension with a knife, the Ore-gon boys tennis team finally got the better of Madison Edgewood on Wednesday at Quann Park.

With players and coach-es bickering back-and-forth throughout the evening, it was the steady play of freshman No. 2 singles player Calvin Schnei-der that helped the Panthers secure the 4-3 victory.

“The first time in school his-tory, it’s huge,” said Schnei-der, whose win helped sent the seniors, including his older brother Jackson, out with their first win against the Crusaders.

“It’s a big deal for all these seniors. They’ve worked so hard everyday in practice, it was just good to finally get the win.”

Calvin breezed through his first set against Billy O’Brien before having to fight back to force a third set breaker.

“I had a couple of match points there and I thought if I could just find a way to battle those off, I’d have a good chance at deuce,” Schneider said. “I thought I had the momentum and could get him in the breaker.”

He did just that to take the match 6-2, 2-6, 7-6 (6) nearly simultaneous to the win of soph-omores Matt Reisdorf and Spen-cer Kresbach 6-4, 4-6, 6-1 at No. 3 doubles.

Schneider was one of four freshman to win their singles

flight as fellow underclassman Charles Donovan cruised 6-2, 6-2 at No. 4 singles, while Madi-son Edgewood’s Philippe Cam-pos and Cecil Ingrad survived against a pair of Panther seniors.

Campos held off Brady Beh-rend 3-6, 6-4, 6-0 at No. 3 sin-gles, while Ingrad defeated Jack-son Schneider in one of the most competitive two-set matches you’ll ever see 7-6 (4), 7-6 (6).

The Crusaders secured the first match of the evening with Noah Colletti and Thomas Thelen roll-ing 6-3, 6-4 at No. 2 doubles. Oregon however, answered with Donovan’s win at No. 4 singles and then picked up a huge win by Dakota Tollakson and Alec Onesti at No. 1 doubles.

Home Talent League

Riffle chased in four-run eighthAnthony IozzoAssistant sports editor

Pitcher Ben Riffle pitched against the Verona Cavaliers in the Home Talent League Final Four for Stoughton last season, but this year he joined Oregon.

The Orioles rejoined the Home Talent League after a seven-year hiatus this season, and Riffle looked to continue his recent suc-cess against Verona.

He didn’t allow a run until the fifth, but it was the eighth inning that ended Riffle’s day in an 8-2 loss.

Derek Murphy reached on an error and stole second base with two outs, and Bill Engelhart drove him in to put the Cavaliers up 3-2. An error by Oregon’s third baseman allowed Danny Koss to score, and Matt Gust followed with an RBI single to right field.

Eric Engler came in to pitch for Riffle, and he allowed an RBI single by Justin Scanlon.

Engler later surrendered a 2-run home run to Koss in the ninth.

At the plate, the Orioles were only able to get two runs in the sixth during a dominant performance by pitcher Ben Wallace.

After singles by Blake Watzke and Engler, Jeff Spiwak hit an RBI double, and Ryan Hoodjer followed with an RBI single to tie the game at 2.

Verona struck first in the fifth with an RBI double by Derek Burgenske that scored David Lund. Zach Spencer followed with an RBI single.

Riffle took the loss. He allowed two earned runs on nine hits in 7 2/3 innings. He struck out two and walked seven.

Wallace went all nine innings for Verona and struck out 15 while walking one. He allowed two earned runs on four hits.

Oregon travels to Hollandale at 1 p.m. Sun-day and travels to Mount Horeb/Pine Bluff at 1 p.m. Monday.

Panthers control destinyAnthony IozzoAssistant sports editor

The Oregon High School girls soccer team defeated Mil-ton 5-0 Tuesday putting the Panthers at 3-1-1 in the Badger South Conference.

Oregon hosts Stoughton at 7 p.m. Friday. A win clinches at least a share of the Badger South Conference title. The Panthers close the week with a nonconference game at 7 p.m. Tuesday against Sauk Prairie at home.

Whitefish Bay 1, Oregon 0Freshman Madelyn Peach

made 11 saves last Thursday, but Oregon fell 1-0 to White-fish Bay in a nonconference game.

Amanda Pandl finished with three saves for Whitefish Bay. Erin Corrigan scored the only goal.

Oregon 2, Memorial 1Sophomore forward Jen

Brien and the rest of the Pan-thers decided enough was enough at halftime last Fri-day at Madison Memorial’s

Mansfield Stadium.The Panthers hadn’t scored a

goal in five games despite aver-aging 10-plus shots on goal per game, but that changed in the first 10 minutes of the second half in the 2-1 win.

Brien dribbled into the penal-ty box on a 1-on-1 and nudged the ball past the goalie to the center of the goal. That is when sophomore forward Makena Fleming finished the play to tie the game in the 45th minute.

Brien once again was at the center of a play a little more than three minutes later. A corner kick led to a scramble for the ball in front of the goal, and Brien came away with it. She found the upper right-hand corner of the net to make it 2-1 Oregon.

“We just had our prep talk in the locker room,” Brien said. “We were pumped up and sick of losing. Once you start off strong in the second half, then the mentality got up and the energy and the positive-ness.”

Head coach Julie Grutzner decided to switch up the for-mations after trailing 1-0 in the first half. She moved Fleming

and Brien up in hopes that the two friends would connect with each other.

“I knew we were faster offensively,” she said. “They are friends and worked off each other and got those two great goals. Finally, we scored.”

Oregon had numerous chances in the second half and held Madison Memorial to just one shot on goal. Freshman goalie Abby Brietbach fin-ished with three saves. Memo-rial freshman forward Jen Roth scored the first goal in the sixth minute.

The Panthers had two shots on goal in the first half and sev-en in the second half. Memorial senior goalie Dani Stroud fin-ished with seven saves.

“They don’t give up many goals. They are kind of like us. We don’t give up a lot of goals,” Grutzner said. “After they scored their goal, we settled in a bit. We didn’t play a great first half, but in the sec-ond half, I felt we really picked it up.”

She continued, “(Stroud) is

What made the night even sweeter for Brien and the Panthers was that Milton

and Madison Edgewood tied 2-2. That score put Oregon’s Badger South destiny back in its hands.

“We have been playing really well,” Grutzner said. “We are jelling, and I am moving players around. Most games, I am getting everyone in. We just haven’t had that quality finish, so this was a nice notch

going forward.”

Swartzmiller takes the goldSophie Swartzmiller, a

9-year-old third grader at Prai-rie View Elementary, brought home the gold at the 2014 Wisconsin State Gymnas-tic meet held on March 20 in Brookfield.  

Swartzmiller won the beam with a 9.6 and added the floor exercise competition with a 9.450. She went on to finish runner-up on bars (9.475) and fourth on vault (8.875), com-peting in the 10 and under level 8 division. Her 37.400 all-around score earned her the title of “All-Around State Champion.”  

In addition, Swartzmiller secured a spot on the Super 8 Regional Wisconsin 2014 team.  

Regardless of age, the level 8 “Super 8 Team” consists of

the eight highest All-Around top level 8 gymnasts of Wis-consin. She scored the second-highest all-around score giv-ing her one of the eight slots to represent Wisconsin.  

Schwartzmiller headed to regionals in North Dakota on April 11, where she com-peted as a level 8 junior (11 and under) for team Wiscon-sin and as an individual all-around.  

Team Wisconsin took fourth place.

Swartzmiller placed fifth on floor, seventh on beam and took 13th as an all-around in Region 4, which consists of seven states in the upper Mid-west.   

In 2013, she was ranked in the top 100 9-year-olds in the nation.

Losing big after a lacklus-ter start to the first set, the Panther seniors responded by taking the final two sets with relative ease on their way to a decisive 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 win.

“Despite a sluggish start,” Onesti said, “We knew we had it within us. We just had to find it in time. That second set we started to have some fun and went on to take the match.”

Panthers head coach Ben Conklin, who had never beaten the Crusaders, said, “It means everything to win tonight, but this was really the icing on the cake. Team state is still the ultimate goal.”

Herbert Urban Haas

Herbert Urban Haas, age 84, of Fitchburg, passed away unexpectedly on Sat-urday, May 10, 2014, at St. Mary’s Hospital. He was born Dec. 16, 1929, the son of Norbert F. and Adelia (Fass) Haas and grew up on the home farm in Rox-bury. Herbert and Frances Meicher met while they were in high school and were married on Feb. 12, 1952, at St. Aloysius Cath-olic Church in Sauk City.

Herbert was drafted into the U.S. Army two years later and they were moved to Colorado Springs where he served as a Battery Clerk for two years. In 1956 they returned to Wisconsin where he continued to serve in the Army Reserves until his discharge in 1962. He worked as a painter for Pal Mar Painting for the next couple of years; and then he and Fran purchased Pal Mar Painting, Inc. and went into the painting business, which his son, Brian, now owns and operates. Herb continued to work with Brian until his last day, delivering paint to job sites. He also continued farming, purchasing their farm on Irish Lane, where they raised Black Angus cattle. Herb also maintained a collection of Minneapolis Moline Tractors. He was a

regular at McDonald’s in Oregon for his morning cof-fee to start the day and was lovingly referred to as the “Old Grouch” by his cof-fee cronies there and at his delivery stops. He enjoyed hunting as a younger man. Herb was a member of Holy Mother of Consolation Cath-olic Church in Oregon, the Oregon VFW and American Legion. Herb was a fam-ily man first and foremost; and will be remembered as a good husband and wonderful father.

Herbert is survived by his wife, Frances Haas; his son, Brian Haas; a brother, Roman (Charlotte) Haas of Roxbury; a sister, Joan San-sone of Madison; sisters-in-law, Nancy Coffey, Lor-raine Jackson; brothers-in-law, Wilfred (Vivian), Wil-liam and Robert Meicher.

The family is grateful to the EMS staff and the doc-tors, nurses, chaplains and staff of St. Mary’s E.R., Father Gary Wankerl and staff of Holy Mother of Con-solation for their compassion and care at a difficult time.
