Still Seeking a Fix

Board prepares
for eastward
expansion

Issues that contributed to 2007 west side flooding persist


Bill Livick
Unified Newspaper Group

Village officials have


not stopped looking for a
solution to flooding on the
villages far west side that
some property owners first
complained about in 2007.
But progress is slow.
In an attempt to find some
answers, the Village Board
last February directed village administrator Mike
Gracz and his staff to work
with the parties involved,
particularly Legend at Bergamont owners Fiduciary
Real Estate Development,
Lathers Road property owner Phil Peterson and village
residents Mike Brant and
Joshua Sebranek, who own
a home at 347 Riviera St.
Brant and Sebranek complained in 2007 about a swale
constructed along the back
of their property that had
flooded and inundated their
backyard with more than two
feet of water and earlier had
flooded their homes basement. Their building contractor made changes to their
basement, and since 2008 its
no longer taking in water.
But runoff in the swale
next to the mens backyard
continues to occasionally
overflow and pool on their
property.
Peterson, who owns a farm
in the Town of Oregon west
of the Bergamont development, has had water running
across his property four or
five months of each year and
said he didnt have a problem until the land next to his
property was developed.
He said a runway on his
farm still has water on it
periodically.
I have now made
arrangements to keep my
airplane off-site whenever
the rain is an issue, for safety reasons, he said.
Petersons neighbors to
the south on Lincoln Road
David Denton and Ken
and Roger Parson have
also complained of more
water running across their
property since the Bergamont was developed.
Though the problems have persisted for
years highlighted by the
August 2007 flooding that

The Village Board Monday decided to have


the Department of Transportation include a
utility casing in its engineering and construction plans for the reconstruction of Hwy. 14.
The project isnt scheduled to happen until
2018 at the earliest.
DOT officials met with the Village Board
in April to discuss its plans for the highway
and said they would need an answer in August
if the village wants to install the casing, or
whats also called a water sleeve.
The sleeve would extend east from the

Oregon residents had to break out the sandbags to deal with the 2007 floods that inundated the village. Most of
the problems were alleviated by the installation of a new culvert, but some residents still have excess water.

the stormwater commitments


and requirements that they put
in when they built the development, Gracz said.
According to Dane Countys
stormwater regulations, runoff
rate levels after development
must not exceed the predevelopment rate. In theory, that means
new development should not
cause additional stormwater to
run onto other properties.
But in practice, that might

When Oregon School District director of technology Jon Tanner found out he won a grant to
host a summer personalized learning workshop on
gamification of classrooms, he figured it would
be a good learning opportunity for district teachers.
The July 24 event ended up drawing nearly 150
educators from all around the state, from as far
away as Green Bay and Milwaukee, proof positive
that not only is personalized learning catching on,
teachers around the state are taking notice of whats
going on in Oregon.
The event was focused on personalizing learning
and how game design can be used to improve classroom learning; a combination of two popular trends
in education, Tanner said. He won the grant from the
Wisconsin Technology Initiative, which paid for the
entire event, including breakout sessions facilitated
by K-12 Wisconsin educators from around the state.

asked Jeremy Balousek of
Dane County Land and Water

the area and recommend ways
to improve the storm-water
management system on the
west side.

Those included 14 presenters


from the district, as well as staff
from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater and UWMadison.
I was surprised it was that
many (attendees), and from
so far away, Tanner said. I
figured it would mostly be
Oregon teachers. People were
sharing what they have been
working on in personalized
learning or games using gamification. I asked one person
from another district why he
attended, and he said this really is a niche event, and there
are not a lot of events like this
specifically directed toward
K-12 teachers.
Its really nice to have people from other districts come
take a look at Oregon teachers
and the great things they are
doing.
Tanner said personalized
learning is reaching a critical
mass at many school districts
in the state.
More and more are realizing they have to find things
meaningful and relevant to
their students, he said.
And with its recent emphasis on personalized learning,
the Oregon School District is
starting to gain a reputation
around the state, as well.
Were right up there, Tanner said. Were known for
being a district where people
come to see what it looks like.
Weve had site visits probably
from 12 districts over the past
year who want to come see ...
what were offering.

the leading edge, partnering


with the UW-Madison School
of Education and their video
game design programs for
student programming. He said
the UW program has a specific
approach to games as they
relate to student learning and
achievement.
(It) allow students to be
very engaged and learn in
a structured environment
What if we think of games as
not games, but learning spaces
specifically designed to learn
a specific thing? he said.
People get that. Its not giving kids an Xbox and expecting them to learn.
Tanner said kids can use
video game terminology or
ideas to help inspire them in
their everyday learning.
Theyre always getting to
a next level, or completing a
quest or getting badges, he
said. Kids are getting rapid
feedback to allow them to
move on.
Gamification also makes
a good fit with personalized
learning methods.
As teachers, you see connections of aspects of personalized learning, like rapidcycle feedback on how you do,
having a meaningful engaged
goal or task and getting recognition for your achievements
those are things video games
do extremely well, thats why
they are so captivating and
compelling, he said. If we
can use some of those things
in the classroom, we can gain
captivation and enthusiasm,
even through working on traditional academic subjects.
All levels of Oregon
schools have various degrees
of gamification going on in
classrooms, Tanner said. A
handful of elementary school
classrooms have taken specific
content area and created activities that kind of look like a
game, with levels and points.
Seventh-graders all participate
in a unit that includes a game
format, and high school students can take a course that is
specifically about designing
and building video games.
And its all not for fun and
games, either. Students are
learning skills that can help
them land jobs in a rapidly
changing workforce.
The video game industry
is bigger than Hollywood and
the music industry combined,
he said. There are jobs for artists, musicians, engineers, programmers and a host of other
jobs and other areas of study.
We are training students to
give them really marketable
jobs in the 21st century.

Village officials are not


happy with the way Wisconsin and Southern Railroad clears brush and small
trees from its rail corridor
in the village.
Businessman Jerry Thiel
brought the matter to the
villages attention several
weeks ago. He complained
about the mess left behind
after Wisconsin and Southern cleared its tracks earlier this summer. Thiel was
most upset about the effect
the practice has on wildlife
particularly nesting songbirds.
Village President Steve
Staton and Trustee Jeff
Boudreau shared his concern.
At its last meeting, the
Village Board discussed the
issue, and Staton promised
to raise it with Wisconsin
and Southerns public relations manager, Ken Lucht.
On Monday, Staton said
he spoke with Lucht, who
was cordial but said the
company had received a
grant to clear the tracks and
it had to be done.

14. He said installing the utility
casing while the DOT is rebuilding the highway saves (the village) a whole lot of money as
opposed to doing it later.
The cost to install the sleeve is
estimated at $100,000 and would
be a village expense.
In April, village planner Mike
Slavney told the board the southeast quadrant is the only area in
or adjacent to the village thats
suitable for large-scale commercial development. Village officials
are interested in the possibility of
annexing more than 275 acres and
developing a business park there.
Slavney told the board there
would be a burst of interest in
redeveloping that area when
Hwy. 14 is rerouted. The DOT
plans to build a new route for
Hwy. 14 between the Hwy. 14
interchange and Hwy. 92 near

Brooklyn.
The DOT anticipates beginning the first phase of the sixyear, $25-$29 million highway
reconstruction project in 2018
although Gracz said the start of
that project could be pushed back
to 2020 or later.
Two property owners in that
area Realtor Eric Grover and
Mo Sweeney have for years
hoped the village would annex
their properties.
Sweeney, along with his brothers and sisters, owns 252 acres
east of Hwy. 14 and south of
Hwy. 138.
Sweeney has indicated his family might be willing to dedicate
land for a new road that would
extend from the old Hwy. 14,
once that road is discontinued as
a highway, and end at Hwy. 138
to serve future development.
Sweeney suggested the offer
to dedicate the property is conditioned on the village installing
the utility sleeve and annexing
the land.
The other relatively large property owner southeast of the interchange is Bullsi LLC, owned by
Grover and Joe Eugster. Grover

told the board they would like


their 22 acres developed, as well.
In April, the board directed village staff to begin meeting with
the stakeholders in the area the
property owners, and officials
from the Town of Rutland, the
DOT officials and Dane County
to discuss the idea of developing
the properties.
We had the first couple meetings, and then I became concerned about the budget, Gracz
told the Observer on Tuesday.
So were pulling back at this
point and not having any more
meetings for now.
It took us some time and
expense to get where we are,
because we did a lot of the mapping and the cost estimates, he
added. So some of the background is done, but we dont have
the time or money this year to do
much more.
Gracz said the initial part of a
business park would probably be
a commercial/retail strip along
Hwy 138. There could also be
an office park or an area of light
industrial development, depending on which part of the area is
developed.

OPD joins crackdown


on drunken driving
The Oregon Police Department will
join law enforcement agencies around
Wisconsin in a two-and-a-half-week
focus on drunk driving later this month.
The enforcement is part of the Drive
Sober or Get Pulled Over campaign,
which will run Aug. 15-Sept. 1.
According to a news release from
OPD, alcohol-related crash fatalities
dropped from 348 in 2003 to 185 in 2013
thanks to efforts to combat drunk driving. The number of alcohol-related crash
injuries has also dropped substantially,
from 6,445 to 2,660, the release said.
Although were making progress in
preventing drunken driving, too many
people are still being killed or injured
because of the irresponsible decision
to drive while impaired, interim OPD
chief Dale Burke said in the release.
Drunken driving is entirely preventable. You can designate a sober driver or
find an alternative way home.

This is our way of providing

Last year, on average each

While the turnout has been
great, this event is not a fundraiser, clarified Koelsch.
Its just a great place to have a

Kindess or cruelty?
Ultimately, there are only two basic motives which animate us, kindness or cruelty. On the side of kindness is
everything that unites and uplifts us: the kind or encouraging word, the helping or healing hand, the invitation to join
the group and to be a part of the great family of God. On
the side of cruelty is everything that divides and debases:
the mean or cutting remark, the discouraging word, the
clenched fist and the hand which pushes away, the barrier
to inclusion which says you arent welcome here. There
is love and there is strife. Love unites; strife divides. Love
is kind; strife is cruel. There is no third option here. You
cannot be indifferent to the choice between kindness and
cruelty. We should pray that we steadfastly choose to be
on the side of kindness.
- Christopher Simon via Metro News Service
I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good
therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to
any fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer it or
neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.

Orioles upset top-seeded


Verona in Western
Section playoffs
Anthony Iozzo
Assistant sports editor

The pressure was all on Verona,


Oregon Home Talent player/comanager Eric Engler said to his
team prior to the first round of the
Western Section playoffs Sunday at
Stampfl Field.
Englers words proved to be right
after a three-run first inning and a
few insurance runs in the eighth led
the Orioles to a 6-2 win, eliminating Verona (16-1) and clinching a
spot in the semifinals against Mount
Horeb/Pine Bluff.
There was no pressure on us,
and we just said to go out there and
have fun, Engler said. We had hits
today with guys in scoring position,
and that is what we have been missing out on all year long. Today, we
put it together, and it couldnt have
been a better time.
The Orioles put the game away in
the top of the eighth with two runs.
First baseman Eric Engler picked up
an RBI single, and he later scored on
an error.
Oregon pitcher Ben Riffle retired
nine straight to end the game, including striking out the side in the ninth.
I just was able to keep rolling
through and felt like I had great
rhythm all day, Riffle said.
The Cavaliers mustered just five
hits in nine innings, a season-low,
and trailed the entire game after Oregon grabbed a 3-0 lead in the top of
the first.
Engler knocked in third baseman
Ross Galloway after a lead-off walk,
and Jeff Spiwak picked up an RBI
single to center with a blooper just
out the reach of Verona second baseman Klayton Brandt.
Left fielder Blake Watzke finished
the scoring in the inning with an RBI
single to center.
The Cavaliers cut the lead to 3-1
in the bottom of the first after Brandt
led off with a single and scored after
shortstop Kyle Moore overthrew
Engler on a double-play attempt.
Verona threatened in the bottom
of the third with runners on second
and third, but center fielder Sam
Schretenthaler was able to snag a
line drive off the bat off catcher
Derek Murphy to end the inning and
save the runs.

6-2; (at right) Jeff Spiwak (3) celebrates
with Ryan Hoodjer and Ben Riffle (16)
after scoring on an RBI single by Watzke
in the first inning.

If they tie it up, we are young


enough where it would bring us
down a little bit, Engler said. It
was huge to have those plays in the
outfield. Everybody played awesome.
Oregon answered in the top of the
fourth with another run, after catcher
Ryan Hoodjer led off with a double.
Abe Maurice ran for Hoodjer, and
he scored on a passed ball to make
it 4-1.
Veronas final run came in the
fourth. After a delay when player/
co-manager David Burgenske was
tossed by the umpire after arguing
balls and strikes Cole Kroncke hit

Taylor took fifth with an

Final round of
Triple Crown
Challenge
By John Wells
Special to the Observer

an RBI double down the left-field


line, scoring Zach Spencer.
Riffle only allowed one baserunner after the fourth, a single by Kroncke to lead off the seventh.
With this team their one
through nine hitters everyone can
hit, Riffle said. If they get a couple

of guys on, all of a sudden a guy hits


a double and they are back into it. So
limiting the baserunners and leaving them on base was huge in this
game.

Water issue could involve


obscure drainage district
Longtime board
member finds fault
with village
Bill Livick
Unified Newspaper Group

The problem of flooding


caused by stormwater runoff can be difficult and
expensive to resolve.
One avenue for property
owners to consider when
their land is subject to
such flooding is to petition
the Dane County Drainage Board. But that option
applies only when the
affected property is located within an established
drainage district.
There are two such districts within the Village
of Oregon the Badfish
Drainage District, formed
in 1908, and the Badfish
First Addition, which was
established in 1917.
The Badfish Drainage
District is the larger of the
two, encompassing an area
thats roughly bordered on
the north by Rutland-Dunn
Townline Road, on the
south by Hwy. 138, on the
east by Flint Road, and on
the west by the villages
center.
The First Addition
extends east to South Main
Street, north to Netherwood Road, west to Alpine
Parkway and south to a
few blocks south of Jefferson Street. Lerner Park
and Keller Alpine Meadows Park are included in
the First Addition.
Its difficult to determine the exact boundaries of the districts from
looking at a map of the
c o u n t y s 3 5 - 4 0 d r a i nage districts. And neither
of the drainage districts
in the village is considered an active district,
said Leonard Massie, one
of three members on the
Dane County Drainage
Board. What determines
whether a drainage district
is active or inactive?
Money, Massie said.
They have money in an
account at the county treasurers office, and the people in the district respond
to the annual report from
the Drainage Board
about the condition of the

district.
Massie said a person or
group could petition the
board and prompt an investigation. But he admits few
people know that drainage
districts and a Drainage
Board even exist including most local government
officials.
Village of Oregon officials were surprised when
they learned there are two
drainage districts within
the village. They found
out when a former village property owner, Joe
DiMaggio Jr., was concerned about flooding
on his familys former
16-acre property at 455
Jefferson St.
He met with Massie, a
retired UW-Madison professor with a Ph.D. in civil
and environmental engineering and Dane County
Drainage Board member
since 1980, and the states
former drainage engineer,
Seth McClure, last year.

Village responsible?
DiMaggio felt the village was responsible for
flooding on his familys
property that used to be
productive farmland. The
family has since sold the
property to the village,
which turned most of the
land into a park and has
put the house up for sale.
Massie said anyone
whose property is in a
drainage district and is
experiencing flooding
can petition the Drainage
Board to get involved and
begin investigating the
causes. But, he said, investigations are expensive and
the cost is paid by property
owners in the district. And
there is no guarantee of a
swift and satisfying resolution, he said.
In the DiMaggio matter,
Joe DiMaggio charged that
the village was responsible
for flooding on his familys property by allowing
developments such as the
Bergamont without receiving approval from the
Drainage Board.

Village President Steve


Staton disagreed, saying the village had gotten
all the required county
and state permits for all
the developments it has
approved.
Massie said thats not
the case.
When there is a drainage district involved,
theres a local governing
body and we are in charge,
not DNR, he asserted.
The Bergamont development, according to an
investigation by the state
drainage engineer, (Seth
McClure, at the time),
found that they had hooked
on to the end of Addition
One without permission.
And they are now running
an enormous amount of
water down through the
district, with the outlet
ditch in very poor condition.
But there has not been a
hearing, and Massie said
he is unaware of any petitions and the board will
not act until it has one.
With no money in the
district, we cant do anything until the people in
the district agree because
theyre going to pay for it
based on the benefits that
they receive, he said.
And much of the land in
the district is now owned
by the village.
Massie said to bring
records of the district up
to date would cost tens
of thousands of dollars,
and to pick a fight with
the Village of Oregon over
what needs to be done to
mitigate their stormwater
management actions and
so on, could also cost a
great deal of money.
He said if the Drainage
Board was petitioned by a
property owner in the district, we would then hold
a hearing to determine the
facts of the situation and
the current status of the
lands and the damages that
have been done and so on.
And the people that will
pay that bill are the people
whose lands are on that
ditch.

Flood: Village at an impasse over water


Continued from page 1
not be the case. And Mesbah said that ultimately
points back to the village.
It looks like the swale
(behind Riviera Street) may
not be deep enough or have
enough capacity, Mesbah said. Checking that is
the developers engineers
responsibility. And the village has a responsibility to
make sure, because the village is the lead management
agency for stormwater.
In 2008, Mesbah told the
Observer that when the village applied for an urban service amendment from CARPCs predecessor agency
during the approval process
for the Bergamont development, the agency had recommended acquiring the land
rights to make adjustments as
needed.
"At the time the Bergamont was going through
approval, we made it clear to
the developer and the village
that we thought it was important to have an easement for
storm water through Peterson's property, so that it can
be maintained and problems
won't arise, Mesbah said.
(Peterson told the village)
he didn't want to do this, and
the village basically said if
it becomes a problem, we'll
deal with it at that time. So
this is the time, I guess.

Where swales
converge

File photo

The flooding of 2007 was so extreme in some areas that people


used canoes to get around.

where the new swale would


end. Alternatively, a pond
could be built on Drumlin Drive in the Bergamont
development.
Either way, water from
the pond would slowly
be released to the Oregon
Branch of Badfish Creek and
would ultimately flow to the
creeks main body.

At an impasse
When village and county
officials discussed the idea
in 2008, Peterson told the
village he would consider
selling some of his land and
would like to have it annexed
by the village.
But his offer was contingent on a satisfactory
resolve to the surface water
that is being discharged onto
my farm from the Bergamont
Golf Course.
Discussions did not go
further because some village trustees were opposed
to spending tax dollars to pay
for engineering, construction
or acquiring property.
Peterson has 510 acres that
he would like to have eventually developed.
At the February meeting, Balousek said a retention pond could be built on
Drumlin Drive, on property
owned by Fiduciary, but he
thought the best location
would be at County Hwy.
CC, at the bottom of a hill on
Petersons land.
The village should do a
thorough engineering study
of the Legend at Bergamonts storm-water system to
be sure a pond at Hwy. CC is
the best option, he said.
On Monday, Gracz said
thats where the matter
stands at the moment.
Phil Petersons waiting to
see and were waiting to see
what Fiduciarys storm water
calculations look like, he
said. Its really in Fiduciarys corner right now. Once
they have that information,
theyll come back and well
discuss it.

The root of the problem for


Riviera Street property owners is that the swale along
the back of their properties
comes down a large hill off
Fiduciarys property. Under
certain conditions, it conveys
a great deal of water.
Near Brant and Sebraneks
home, that swale is joined
by another coming from the
west off Petersons property.
Those two swales converge
and take a relatively sharp
turn toward the east near
Brant and Sebraneks backyard.
Gracz said the system was
approved that way in the
Bergamont stormwater plan.
Were trying to work out
a plan where the water that
comes off Petersons property would not end up in the
swale on Bergamont land,
he said.
Instead, it would flow
down a new, as-yet unbuilt
swale, and on to a pond near
Jefferson Street.
Thats the idea that officials think holds the most
promise.
It would involve constructing the new swale and berm
on the east side of Petersons
property, west of the existing swale that runs along the
back of the Riviera Street
properties. The berm would
divert runoff to the new Multiple issues
Gracz told the Observer
swale, and a new retention
pond would be built near that the flooding on Riviera
Hwy. CC (Jefferson Street), Street hasnt been much of
also on Petersons property, a problem since 2008, but if

the area were to get a substantial rainfall while theres


deep frost and snow cover,
the runoff would have no
place to go and would likely
flood again.
But, he said, concern over
flooding on Riviera Street is
not the only problem.
Theres a few issues, he
said. Phil Petersons runway is wet for much of the
year. Theres the situation on
Riviera, and theres the Dentons and Parsons (property
owners on Lincoln Road),
who are having issues with
their waterway.
Gracz said the village
would like to address all the
issues. Were just going
to kind of do it in steps, he
said.
Brant told the board at
the February meeting that
finding a solution to flooding along Riviera Street is a
safety issue. He noted that
the swale running along his
backyard conveys water
from the Peterson property and possibly from a hill
south of his home on land
owned by Fiduciary.
You have 100 acres drain
through the swale in our
backyard, and it just takes
an inch to an inch-and-a-half
of rain to create two to three
feet of runoff, he explained.
We would like the village
to get an easement to find a
solution for homeowners on
Riviera Street.
My hope is a diversion
swale could be installed, he
said.
That would require leasing
or buying land from Peterson, who has said that can
only happen if storm water
runoff on his property is also
resolved.
Gracz said the situation is
complex and theres not a
simple solution.
Weve talked to Fiduciary and Peterson, and its like
C cant happen unless A and
B happen and so forth, he
said. Its complicated and
kind of hard to understand all
this.
He expects village trustees to revisit the matter after
Fiduciary completes its study
about the best place to send
and store runoff.
