The target? Illegal drugs.

That was the scenario proposed
Monday night to the Oregon
School Board by new Oregon
police chief Brian Uhl, who suggested instituting random searches at the school in by teams of
drug-detecting dogs an effort to

keep students safer.

Though Uhl said the searches
would likely be no more than
twice a year and would not target students themselves, most
board members expressed uneasiness about the idea, particularly
its effectiveness and potential

negative effects on students.

I want to make sure all of our
kids feel safe, and that this is a
positive thing and we dont
end up doing the stormtrooper
thing, said Gwen Maitzen. How
we go about this is paramount.

Village of Brooklyn residents might

pay less in property taxes than originally
thought, but nobody is sure yet what that
rate will be.
The Village Board on Monday night
went line-by-line through the budget to
make more cuts to get the village below
the state-mandated levy limit. The proposal that was up for a public hearing
Monday had called for a 2.7 percent
increase in the mill rate.
As of Tuesday morning, though, clerk

Increasing fire/EMS and

thumbs-up from the multiple Oregon-area municipalities they serve on Oct. 28.
Representatives of the
Oregon Area Fire/EMS District and the Oregon Area
Senior Center got together
in one large meeting with
the Oregon Village Board
and representatives of other
municipalities at the annual
meeting, which was planned
to discuss the 2016 budget
proposals.
The senior center budget
calls for just over a 12 percent funding increase, and in
the days following the joint
meeting, both that budget
and the 7.6 percent increase
in fire district costs earned
approval and will be included in the 2016 budget proposals for each municipality
they serve.

Kids from the Oregon area had a

chance to try hockey for free at the
Oregon Ice Arena Saturday, Nov. 7.
The event included coaches and players from the Oregon High School
hockey program who helped kids
skate around the ice. Some were
pushed on chairs, some used them
for balance and others were able to
stand on their own and shoot a puck
at some mini nets.

Village boards and commissions soon

will have more representation from students in Oregon, particularly by Oregon
High School students.
Before the Village Board last week
unanimously approved ordinance changes, only the Park Board had a student representative Julie Maurer.
Village President Steve Statons proposal to add a student representative to
the Planning Commission, the Library
Board and the Historic Preservation Commission as well as a student alternate to
the Park Board means an increase of
four students serving village government.

Veterans bricks piling up at memorial

Bill Livick

Construction continued Monday between the high school and ice arena east of North Perry Parkway.

Asked and Answered

Whats happening at the

Jaycee Park walking paths?
Question: As a longtime
resident of Oregon and
heavy user of the walking
paths in Jaycee Park-east,
I would love to know what
is going on in that area
regarding the construction.
Several large trees have
been removed and walking
paths dismantled.
Is this related to the Perry Parkway road connection, or are additional sport
fields being created?
Answer: The Oregon
School District has hired
a contractor to install new
stormwater pipes underneath Jaycee Park-east in an
effort to reduce the amount
of water that enters the villages stormwater system.
In August, the Village
Board and school district
officials agreed to a plan to

reroute storm runoff from

Oregon High School into
its own system, separating
it from the villages system.
Officials said the change
would reduce the amount of
water flowing into the villages stormwater system
by 30 to 40 percent. The
goal is to reduce flooding
near the high school and the
amount of runoff entering
a drainage swale between
Lincoln Street and Kennedy Drive.
The reduction in stormwater runoff entering the
drainage swale will reduce
occasional flooding that
happens in Jaycee Park, as
well as neighborhoods near
the high school.
The plan is to send stormwater from OHS property
directly south in the pipes

that are now being installed

beneath the park. The pipes
will convey the water to
a regional detention pond
near Badfish Creek, which
the school district enlarged
to accommodate runoff
from OHS, as well as village property and 128
acres north of the village in
Fitchburg.
OSD business manager Andy Weiland said
work crews had to tear up
some of the existing walking paths to install the new
pipes and that the work
should be completed in
about a month. The paths
will be fixed once the new
system is in place. The
Observer reported on the
project on Sept. 24.

NOV 21 & 22
ALLIANT ENERGY CENTER

For the past four years,

the Veterans Memorial in
downtown Oregon has been
accumulating brick pavers
that recognize and honor military veterans.
Eight more pavers were
added last week, bringing the
total up to around 100 since
Oregon resident and VFW
Post 10272 Oregon/Brooklyn member Oscar Larson
organized and launched the
project.
Larson told the Observer
he got the idea for selling
and installing personalized
pavers one day while he was
mowing the lawn around the
memorial, which was erected
in the center of the village
after World War I.
I thought as long as we
have the memorial, it would
be nice if we honored the
individual veterans for their
service, he said.
Larson made a flier to promote the effort and began
selling pavers, which are
engraved and installed by
Pechmann Memorials, in
2011. Larson ordered 200
bricks and takes orders from
veterans or their families
throughout the year. Each
engraved paver replaces an
existing brick at the memorial.
The pavers are $50 each
and are laid at the memorial
twice a year, on or before
Memorial Day and on or
before Veterans Day, Larson explained.
Its not just Oregon, he
added. It can be a living or
deceased veteran from another town, but the idea is to
honor veterans service.
The pavers typically have
a veterans name engraved,
along with the military

Memorial downtown.

branch they served in or their

rank or what war they were
in, Larson said.
A paver that Larson
had installed for his family
names his father (a veteran of
WWII), himself (he served in
Vietnam), and his son (who
served in the Iraq war).
Of the eight pavers
installed last week, six were
for members of the Grinnell
family, one was for Eldrid T.
Al Olson, and another was
for Merle Kopke.
Dawn Grinnell purchased
the pavers for her parents, a
brother and three uncles, who
are now all deceased. She
also bought one for her best
friend, Al Olson, whom she
joined on a Badger Honor
Flight in April.
Grinnell said she likes
that the Veterans Memorial
is out in the open and in a
place thats not depressing
like a cemetery.

Its something thats living to me, she said. I wanted a way once I was gone
that my parents would still
remembered. They did something important.
Larson said once all of the
bricks around the memorial
have been replaced with personalized pavers, hell begin
replacing bricks in a walkway leading to it.
If that gets filled up, then
Ill have panels on both sides
of where the bricks are with
names on them, he said.
Now, this isnt going to
happen in my lifetime, but
after that, over by where the
cannon is (on the other side
of Janesville Street), there
are bricks of the same color
and we could replace them.
Larson said he charges a
little more than Pechmanns
cost, and any money left
goes to local or VFW-organized programs.

After the Village of Oregon had the sign ordinance

90 percent through previous discussions, a United
States Supreme Court ruling turned the plan on its
head.
A new ordinance proposal was back in front of
the village plan commission Nov. 5, and members
generally agreed with its
revised provisions, though
they struck a few. They'll
review the result next
month in a joint meeting
with the board.
The June court ruling in
Reed v. Town of Gilbert
threw a monkey wrench
into every sign code around
the country, said vil lage planning consultant
Mike Slavney, forbidding
municipalities from making ordinances that relate to
the content of a sign. That
complicates making rules
for certain groups of signs,
such as yard signs, which
could include real estate
signs, a slow down for
kids sign and political support, among others.
In its current form, the
ordinance would limit residents to one sign per yard,
which some commissioners questioned. Slavney
explained the complication
that allowing for more than
one would allow someone
to have that many signs
year-round.
We felt that the dilemma was campaign season,
Slavney said. People
can decide, I take down
slow down for kids for the
garage sale and then after
the garage sale, slow down
goes back up.
Enforcement of that,
though, especially during campaign season, was
an additional question that
came up at the meeting, and
it was acknowledged that
enforcement of some rules
can be purposely lax at
times. The village has chosen to not be overly picky
on some signs promoting community events, for
example.
The court ruling is broad,
Slavney told the commission, preventing the village
from even regulating the
content of signs in outlots

Jacob Bielanski

at the entrances to subdivisions.

It could say, Dont take
my guns, or Slow down
for kids, Slavney said.
But we figure if its located in an outlot, we know
what itll say.
The commission also
struck feather signs,
often used to advertise specials or new features like
all-day breakfast at McDonalds, from the allowable
temporary signs. Although
that kind of sign is currently prohibited in the village,
there are some up around
the village that have not
been strictly enforced.
The Village Board was
supposed to convene for a
joint meeting with the commission to discuss the sign
ordinance, among other
topics, but they could not
get a quorum that night.
The two bodies are
expected to hold a joint
meeting Dec. 14 to discuss the ordinance. It could
return for a public hearing
as soon as early 2016, village administrator Mike
Gracz said, though the village will bring the ordinance to the chamber of
commerce to get feedback
first, as well.

Brian Uhl was no stranger to the strife afflicting the

Oregon Police Department
when he took the job as its
chief in late August.
When he started, the village asked him to establish a set
of 30-, 60and 90-day
goals. At the
bottom of
each of those
lists, there
reads in all
c a p s o n e Uhl
consistent
message:
Work toward restoring a
sense of pride in department.
This department has had
its fair share of troubles in
the last couple of years,
Uhl told the Observer. I
was very surprised by the
support I have received
here.
Those changes include
tangible items such as
police body cameras, as
well as less tangible adjustments, such as forming a
committee to develop new
badges for the department
an effort to re-brand
the organization, according
to the goals list.
We are right on track,
Uhl said confidently.
Everything that I put
here we should be able to
accomplish.

Banquet facility

A learning process

An Oregon resident is
hoping to open a new banquet facility to host weddings and other celebrations.
First, though, Crystal
Zuniga will need to provide
more detailed plans to the
commission and the village
board.
The proposed facility
would be in the same building as the Madison 56ers
soccer club, which used
to house the Union Sport
Club. Because of problems
with that business, village
administrator Mike Gracz
said the Village Board
would likely have a very,
very detailed conditional
use permit.
Zuniga said she planned
to speak to the Village
Board at its Nov. 16 meeting to further understand
what she needed to provide.

Among the first goals,

the words develop,
address and meet
appear frequently.
Clearing the list of
goals for the first month
meant meeting with every
employee of the department as well as village
leaders. Compared to his
previous position with the
Whitewater Police Department, Uhl said he feels the
village and the community are very easy to work
with and supportive of the
changes he wants to make.
In addition to preparing for budget season and
police union negotiations,
Uhl set to work figuring
out the needs of the department. That likely includes
hiring two additional officers, he said. The problem,

he added, is that many officers are working six-dayson, three-days-off schedules, while sergeants and
other leaders are on more
traditional 10-hour shifts.
Hiring additional officers, he said, will allow the
department to get everyone
on a more consistent schedule, providing more police
coverage per shift. Uhl said
two new officers should be
hired by the end of November, with a potential third
to be hired in mid-2016.
As a member of the
Wisconsin Law Enforcement Accreditation Group,
he also took it upon himself to immediately begin
researching policy changes, as well as addressing
property room concerns.
Uhl most recently gained
approval from the Village
Board to set up a checking account for cash seized
during investigations.
A state investigation
concluded earlier this year
found the previous officer
in charge of the evidence
room may have taken cash,
in addition to prescription
medications.

purchase and deployment

of on-officer cameras for
the department.
Oregon joins Fitchburg
and Madison as area communities that are developing policies and dedicating
funds to the new technology.
The Whitewater Police
Department used similar
cameras during Uhls time
there, which helped him
understand both how the
technology is used and how
officers typically receive it.
During his interview for
the Oregon position, he
said it was clear that village leaders wanted to see
the cameras in use here.
Pending approval of the
budget, the entire department will begin using them
in the first quarter of next
year.

Looking forward
Oct. 24 marked the end
of Uhls first 60 days in
the position. There remains
a list of a dozen items left
to check off before the
holidays. Changes to the

important part of accrediting the process, and he

said he made working with
the Wisconsin Attorney
General and Dane County
Assistant attorney to audit
the property room an early
goal.
Uhl conceded, however,
that this is one area that
may require a little more
time with other things
going on here. Many of
the other changes, however, include administrative adjustments, such as
re-writing job descriptions
for officers, a task he said
is nearly complete already.
A review of the departments social media efforts
is well ahead of schedule,
as the department rolled
out a new Twitter account
to supplement its Facebook account in the last
few weeks. The Facebook
account will highlight the
departments community
outreach efforts, while
Twitter will be used to disperse as-it-happens information about crimes and
traffic issues.
As the department moves
on to the last of those
items, many take on a common theme. The establishment of an honor guard
team, restoring an annual
police day ceremony
and more meetings with
community members dont
seem important to dayto-day policing. They all,
however, seem to be a part
of one goal: pride.

Oregon History
September

100 yrs. ago (1915)

Field Day events, sponsored
by the Oregon Business Mens Club,
were held on Labor Day. At 2 p.m.
Gov. E. L. Philipp arrived by train
and from the depot was taken to the
park where a crowd had gathered to
hear him speak. He spoke for about
45 minutes on the issues of the day
including concerns about our national governments policy relating to
the European War and the political
state of affairs in Wisconsin and his
experiences with the opposing wing
of the party since hes been governor. After speaking he immediately
left by auto for Edgerton. Following
the speech the crowd, led by a band,
proceeded to the ball park where
they witnessed the Oregon ball team
lose to Bellville 3-0. After the ball
game there were tug-of-war events
and foot races on the village square.
The days festivities closed with a
dance at the opera house. Over 200
couples attended. Music was provided by a group called The Badger
Orchestra.
The Oregon Business Mens
Club filed a petition with the State
Railroad Rate Commission for a
new train depot and a shelter shed
over the south bound platform.
Their previous request, pending for
the past year and half, had received
no action. The Chicago and Northwestern Railroad served the community.
Driving a vehicle in 1915
required that you abide by the following speed limits: 15 miles per
hour in cities and villages; 25 miles
per hour on any public highway;
and 8 miles per hour though a cemetery or park or in passing any school
grounds. It was also noted that no
person under the age of 16 shall
operate a vehicle unless accompanied by an adult.
J. F. Litel was the proud owner of a new Buick Six purchased
through the local deanship of Criddle & Kellor.
Need your shoes repaired? Residents were reminded that William
Hayes was in the business of repairing all kinds of shoes. He also had
the following notice in the newspaper: Anyone owing me for over 60
days, please call and pay as I need
my money to pay my bills.
The local opera house will be
a bit more comfortable this coming
winter. L. Buskirk was busy excavating under the Opera House for
the purpose of installing a hot air
furnace. He had purchased the largest size furnace made by the Mueller Company. The prospect is that
patrons will be more comfortable
this coming winter than they had
been in the past.
Local merchants, Prichard &
Cusick , advised area farmers about
the safety of having a silo, stating
that it was the best insurance against
an early frost;. They commented in
their ad: Dont expect your cows to
have greatly benefitted on their milk
flow increase by looking at your
neighbor's silo.
50 yrs. ago (1965)
Isabel Delgado from LaPunta,
Peru is the OHS foreign exchange
student for the 1965-66 academic
year. She will be stayed with Mr.
and Mrs. Erwin Lawry and their
children Bonnie and Randy.
New prices for adult haircuts
were jointly announced by Browns
Barber Shop and Packards Barber
Shop in Oregon; and Curless Barbershop in Brooklyn. Starting Sept.

17-7 win over Middleton. Oregon
scored on a 20-yard field goal by
Mike Statz; a touchdown pass from
Statz to Jim Milz and another touchdown pass from Statz to Dennis
Scheafer. Coach Bob Prahl noted
that when they were in need of short
yardage they were able to keep the
ball moving by using Miles Weaver
and what he termed their jumbo
offense. Their first loss of the season came a week later, losing to
DeForest, 15-6.

Two towns in the Oregon

area Dunn and Rutland
have annual budget hearings planned just before
Thanksgiving.
Residents have the
chance to weigh in on the
towns annual budgets for
2016 prior to approving the
tax levy for next year.
Clerks provided the
Observer with preliminary
estimates for their annual
budgets for this weeks story, but those numbers could
shift slightly prior to the
Nov. 17 public hearings.
Mill rates are given only
for the towns portion of a
residents property tax bill.
The annual property tax bill
in December will include
payments to the town, Dane
County, the state, school
district and MATC.
Heres a look at what the
two towns are expecting for
next year:

Dunn

If you go
What: Town of Dunn
2016 budget hearing
When: 7 p.m. Tuesday,
Nov. 17
Where: Dunn Town Hall,
4156 County Road B.
Contact: 838-1081
Town of Dunn residents
would see a 1.5 percent
increase in the town portion of their property tax
bill if the proposed 2016
budget is approved next
week.
That would mean about
$8 more than last year for
the owner of a $200,000
home on the town portion
of their property tax bill, a
total of $554.
The town is holding a
budget hearing at 7 p.m.
Tuesday, Nov. 17 at Town
Hall, 4156 County Road B.
Overall, the towns revenue is projected to increase
by $52,603, partly due to a
stormwater planning grant
of $32,700 and to increased

tax revenue, Dunn clerk

treasurer/business manager
Cathy Hasslinger told the
Observer.
The plan calls for spending $320,000 next year on
road reconstruction. That
includes mill and overlay
projects pulverizing the
surface pavement and laying down new asphalt
on Duncan Road, Geihler
Road, Lynch Circle, and a
mile of Town Road in Bayview Heights.
Other capital projects
include $127,000 to complete the Dyreson Bridge
restoration, $75,000 to
replace the town garage,
and $56,000 in equipment
improvements.
Town officials anticipated completing the bridge
restoration in late October
or early November, but an
engineer determined the
bridge needed new bearings, which have to be custom built. Officials now
expect the project to be
completed in late January
or February.
Hasslinger said the highway garage is very old
and needs to be replaced.
She said the cost for materials is $75,000, with town
staff doing all the labor and
making the building worth
twice what the town is
investing.
The budget also calls
for spending $40,000 to
replace the towns Case
tractor, $12,000 to replace
a Woods mower, and
$4,300 for a new electric
pressure washer.
Other proposed spending includes a contribution
of $15,000 to the Oregon
Area Senior Center and,
for the first time, a payment to Stoughton Area
EMS of $16,586 because
the service is no longer
generating revenue and is
relying on contributions
from the municipalities it
serves.
The 2016 budget proposes no new borrowing.
Designated fund balance
amounts will be used to
meet the budgeted costs for
capital projects, Hasslinger
said.
The proposed levy

increase is $36,000, from

$1.75 million to $1.78 million. If approved by voters, the towns portion of
the 2015 tax rate would be
2.77 on $1,000 of property
value.

Rutland

If you go
What: Town of Rutland
budget public hearing and
town meeting
When: 6:30 p.m.
Tuesday, Nov. 17
Where: Rutland Town
Hall, 785 Center Way,
Stoughton
Info: 455-3925, town.
rutland.wi.us
Town of Rutland residents would see an 3.62
percent increase in the town
portion of their property tax
bill if the proposed budget
is approved.
That would mean $20
more for the owner of a
$200,000 home.
In an email to the
Observer, Rutland chairman Mark Porter said the
main increases in the budget were from EMS services in Oregon, Stoughton
and Brooklyn.
These were primarily
offset by Stoughton paying
a five-year amount of compensation in lieu of property taxes for the town land
they've annexed, he said.
Porter said another
change is that the town has
contracted to purchase a
new heavy truck but, due
to prudent budgeting in
the past is able to pay for
it completely from reserves
created for that purpose.
There's no net impact on
taxes or rate, he said.
Porter said the decrease
in assessed value is due to
the annexation by the City
of Stoughton of car dealers
in the township.
The board is also set to
approve 2016 highway
expenditures in excess of
$229,250.

Community band marks 35th year with fall concert

After wrapping up their
annual summer music series
in July, the Oregon Community Band will begin its 35th
season with a performance
of entirely new material for
their fall concert next week.
The concert, which will
take place at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 17 in the Rome
Corners Intermediate School
commons, is the only performance during the winter
months for the band.
The band practices the
new music for about seven
weeks after rehearsals commence in September, Jim
Baxter, the bands founder
and director, said in a phone
interview with the Observer.
The band has 45 members
several of which travel to
Oregon from nearby towns
and even neighboring counties to participate.
This years program
will begin with John Philip

Oregon resident to run half marathon

for ulcerative colitis awareness
Son was diagnosed
in 2011

WERE
ALL
EARS

Looking forward
When Cameron recently
wrote a personal narrative
for a school assignment
about something thats had
an impact on him, he chose
not to focus on his love for
soccer, hockey a sport

hes played since he was

3 or another of the many
activities hes involved in.
Instead, he wrote about his
battle with colitis.
One of the pieces I made
sure I involved is how much
it means to me that I know
that everybody is there to
support me, Cameron said.
That includes the support
of his teachers, his extended family and his friends as
well, especially those hes
made at the CCFAs Camp
Oasis, a camp for kids with
colitis and Crohns thats
held every summer in Elkhorn.
Cameron said he hopes
every kid with colitis can
have a similar support system.
(Find) a good friend you
can trust so you know you
can talk about it with them
too, not just your parents and
your doctors, Cameron said.
As for his dads race on
Sunday, Cameron said he
plans to memorize his bib
number so he can try to
find him in pictures online.
Because runners are outfitted with timing chips, he
can also follow his dads
progress as he makes his
way through the course.
Bill added that he hopes
to borrow a friends GoPro
to film the race and share it
with Cameron and his two
younger sons, Simon and
Elliot, as well.
Taking steps towards a
cure, even 13.1 miles, is
just a small part of a larger effort towards ending
Crohns disease and colitis.
I know it takes a while
to find cures, but I really
want to see them find a cure
for colitis, Cameron said.
Theyve been wanting to
find a cure for a long time.

lactose-free diet has seemed

to help ease his symptoms
as well.
The Muellers have also
been involved in the community surrounding colitis
for the past several years.
They began participating
in CCFAs Take Steps for
Crohns and Colitis event in
2012, the year after Camerons diagnosis, and formed
a team of family, friends
and other supporters under
the name Camerons Colitis Crushers.
Held annually in locations across the nation,
the community walk event
includes live entertainment,
games, lunch and other
activities and aims to create a supportive community
around those battling the
diseases.
Its more like a big party, where everyone goes for
a walk, Bill said.
Bill was first alerted to
Team Challenges involvement in the half marathon at
the 2014 Take Steps walk,
the same year Cameron
was selected as the events
Honored Hero. A new
representative is chosen
every year and is invited to
share their story by giving
a speech in front of all participants.
I was nervous talking in
front of all of those people,
as much as I love talking,
Cameron said.
The Muellers plan to participate in next years walk
as well, which will be held
June 11 at McKee Farms
Park in Fitchburg.

Your opinion is something

we always want to hear.

While Bill more or less

knew what to expect in
terms of symptoms his
brother was diagnosed with
ulcerative colitis in his late
teens the first several
years after Camerons diagnosis proved difficult, he
said.
After multiple medications and unsuccessful
stints of an IV infusion that
required Cameron to miss
a day of school every two
months, Cameron underwent an endoscopy, colonoscopy and a diagnostic
imaging test at Childrens
Hospital. After determining
Cameron was likely on too
much medication, Bill said
doctors recommended scaling back to a single drug.

When Bill Muellers son,

Cameron, was diagnosed
with ulcerative colitis in
January 2011, his familiarity with the disease did
nothing to numb that initial
blow.
At first, it was a lot
about, Wow, thats kind
of a bum draw, Bill said.
Because I think at that
point, the doctor said that
95 percent of people who
have colitis are diagnosed
between 15 and 25, and he
was 5.
A subset of Inflammatory Bowel Disease, colitis
caused Cameron to suffer
from symptoms including
fatigue, weight loss, anemia
and frequent pain and discomfort as doctors worked
to find a combination of
medication that worked for
him.
While Camerons
symptoms have steadily
improved after a visit to
the Childrens Hospital
of Wisconsin in Milwaukee in 2013, his fight, and
those of the approximate
700,000 other Americans
with ulcerative colitis, is
far from over. No cure is
known, and about a third of
people with colitis eventually require surgery, often
to fully remove the rectum
or colon, according to the
Crohns and Colitis Foundation of America.
In an effort to bring
awareness to colitis while
celebrating Camerons
progress battling the disease, Bill will be running
the Rock n Roll Half Marathon in Las Vegas on Sunday, Nov. 15.
A former high school
cross country runner, Bill
began training in early
August while also focusing
on fundraising. He will join
about 30 other members of
the CCFAs Team Challenge Wisconsin, and as of
press time, had already met
80 percent of his $3,300
goal.

Junior Mikayla Kapalczynski finished 16th at the WIAA Division 1 Middleton sectional in the 200-yard
individual medley with a time of 2 minutes, 31.84 seconds.

The Oregon/Belleville girls swimming

quartet of sophomore Carolyn Christofferson and seniors Logan Fahey, Hannah
Rau and Willow Kugel posted a teambest seventh-place finish Saturday at the
WIAA Division 1 Middleton sectional
meet.
Just missing the podium by one spot,
the 200-yard medley relay team posted a
season-best time of 1 minute, 55.95 seconds, but fell 4.34 shy of the state qualifying standard (1:51.61).
Junior Claire Candell, Christofferson,
Rau and Kugel later missed the podium
by two spots as they swam to an eighthplace finish in the 200-yard freestyle
relay with a time of 1:44.25.
Their time was little less than twoand-a-half seconds slower than the state
qualifying time standard of 1:41.8 as the
Panthers were unable to advance anyone
on to this weekends state meet.
We told the girls before the meet to
be prepared because youre swimming
against the fastest sectional in the state,
Oregon assistant Michael Keleny said.
If you finish in the top eight here theres
a chance you can make it to state.
Its not guaranteed, but if you make
the top eight here, youre among a pretty
elite group in the state of Wisconsin.

Oregons top individual finish and

closest to a state qualifying time both
came from Kugel.
The senior finished a team-best 10th
overall in the 50 freestyle (25.07), while
her 54.71 in the 100 free was good for
12th place just .66 behind the state
qualifying standard (54.05).
Christofferson turned in a 12thplace finish in the 50 free (25.6) and a
15th-place finish in the 100 backstroke
(1:04.58). Rau added a 17th-place finish
in the 500 free (5:39.8).
Oregon senior Quincey Newton added a
13th-place finish in the 200 IM (2:24.67),
while Makayla Kapalczynski took 16th
place (2:31.84).
Senior Logan Fahey posted an 18thplace finish in the 100 breaststroke
(1:16.36). Rau (2:06.6) and Grace Przybyl (2:09.08) finished 18th and 19th in
the 200 free.
Individually, a lot of the girls are really happy with their times, Keleny said.
It was cool to see the seniors have good
times because it was their last meet.
Oregons 400 free relay (Amber Cody,
Candell, Przybyl and Kapalczynski) finished ninth out of the 13 schools competing in 3:59.24 to closeout the meet.
The Panthers scored 88 points, five
more than Janesville Craig, to finish
eighth out of the 13 teams competing.
Middleton edged defending sectional
champion Verona Area/Mount Horeb by
three points for top honors 371-368.
Madison Memorial (320), Madison
West (312.5) and Sun Prairie (224.5)
rounded out the top five.

Football

Talented senior class earns several spots on all-conference team

Jeremy Jones
Sports editor

Senior defensive end Jake Odegard

earned unanimous first team Badger
South all-conference honors last week
after leading the Oregon football team
with 18 tackles for loss. Odegard, who
finished third on the team with 72 total
tackles, was the Panthers only unanimous
all-conference selection.
Every coach ranks each player and
votes, every coach voted him their No. 1
choice at DE, head coach Dan Kissling
said. I can not vote for my players.
Oregon finished 7-2 overall and 4-2 in
the Badger South during the regular season thanks in large part to an explosive
offense that averaged 25.5 points per
game.
Still, the Panthers lost to Monroe and
Milton on their way to second place in
conference. Oregon went on to avenge
the Milton loss with 14-7 victory over
the Red Hawks in the Division 2 Level 1
game, however, the teams first playoff
victory since 2004.
At 6 foot, 3 inches tall and 180 pounds
with sprinter speed and the ability to high
point the ball, Oregon wide receiver Alex
Duff was a matchup nightmare for opposing defenses all season.
Last week the senior, who paced the
Panthers with 23 grabs for 470 yards and
six touchdowns, was named to the firstteam all-conference squad.
Duff wasnt alone, though, as Matt
Yates and Colton Rader were also tabbed
as first-team picks.
Yates led the Panthers, who averaged
200.1 yards rushing per game and finished
with 2,201 total rushing yards on the season, with a very physical 976 yards on the

ground and eight touchdowns on his way

to first team honors. He also caught a pair
of touchdowns.
Oregons only returning first team athlete next season will be junior tackle
Colton Rader.
Colton was our most consistent player
on our O-line, we tried to run behind him
as much as we could, Kissling said. He
is only a junior and will get much better.
He moves really well for his size.
Senior tight end Charlie Soule and

senior receiver Sam Mueller highlighted

the second team honorees by the Panthers.
Mueller finished second on the team
with 359 receiving yards and five touchdown grabs and third in rushing yards
(175). He was also selected as a first team
defensive back. Also making the second
team were junior guard Hunter Schultz
and Duff (kicker).
Seniors Trent Ricker (quarterback),
Lucas Mathews (running back) and Logan
Hurda (guard) were all named to the

honorable mention team.

Ricker rang up nearly 1,300 yards
through the air, connecting on 55 percent
of his passes for 13 touchdowns and eight
interceptions. He also rushed for five
touchdowns.
Mathews meanwhile, finished second
on the team in rushing, posting 740 yards
and six touchdowns.
Oregon had a pair of second team linebackers on defense in seniors Brenen
Womack and Max Chase.
Womack led the team with 111 total
and 33 solo tackles. He also had a picksix against Milton.
Chase finished second for the Panthers
with 87 total tackles and 17 tackles for
loss.
Junior defensive lineman Tony Akale
and senior defensive back Elliot Jacobs
rounded out the Panthers all-conference
selections as honorable mentions.
Akale had 48 total tackles and nine
tackles for loss on the season, while
Jacobs finished with 38 tackles in seven
games.
The last two year our seniors played a
lot and gained some valuableexperience,
Kissling said. We arelosing22seniors
and yes, it will hurt us a bit next year, but
we did have quite a few juniors play for
us and get someexperience.
Oregon will bring back most of its
offensive and defensive lines back.
We will lose two seniors in Nathan
Govier at center and Trevor Cloud at
tackle, but neither of those guys played
the full year because of injuries, Kissling
said. We won a couple of games with
Davis Christenson and Garret Johnson at
center and tackle. So we are going to be
young, but we do have some talent coming back to help us compete.

Senior: Brooklyn votes no
Senior budgets
Each of the respective
boards approved the senior
center budget proposal over
the past two weeks except
the Village of Brooklyn,
which Monday night failed
to pass a motion to increase
the seniors budget by more
than 7 percent.
The contract governing
the centers funding formula requires a vote of each
contributing municipality
the villages of Brooklyn
and Oregon and the towns
of Rutland and Oregon if
the centers proposed budget increases by more than
7 percent in any given year.
Brooklyn clerk Carol Strause said Tuesday
that although the Village
Board tied 2-2 on the funding increase, it will still be
required to pay its share
of the proposed budget
because if three of the four
municipalities approve
the increase, the other is
required to go along.
The amount we are
assessed is in the 2016 budget for our portion, she
said. So were going to
fund our whole allotment.
Brooklyns contribution
to the centers 2016 budget
will increase by $1,105, to a
total of $21,084.
Senior Center director
Alison Koelsch explained
that her proposed budget is
increasing more than 7 percent because of a roughly
$10,000 loss in adult day
care program revenue coupled with a $10,000 increase
in health insurance costs for
the centers new nutrition
manager.
Koelsch said she kept her
budget proposal as close
to no increase as possible.
The only extra increase she
requested was to reclassify

Drugs: Chief had heard schools didnt allow police dogs

Continued from page 1
Board president Dan
Krause, an Army veteran,
echoed similar comments,
saying the idea of random
drug dog searches is a really difficult issue for him.
I see this as escalating,
in a military way, regarding the kids and drugs, he
said. If you do this once
or twice a year and the kids
are locked down, they know
their stuff is being searched
where they cant see it,
it creates an atmosphere
where its clear, We dont
trust you.
Uhl said it had come to
his attention that drugsniffing police dogs were
not allowed in the schools
per board policy, and wanted an explanation from
board members as to why.
Board member Steve
Zach quickly shot down
that mistaken assumption,
noting that the district contacted the department on
multiple occasions in recent
years to bring its K-9 into
a building, but were told
it was not available. OHS
principal Jim Pliner said
earlier this school year, he
asked the department to
bring in the dog, but was
told it was not available.
In each case, however,
those were based on specific incidents.
Currently, district officials operate by contacting
police for a search of student
property on school grounds
if there is reasonable suspicion that they have drugs.
Weve felt we always
had authority to do those
isolated searches if we had
reason, said district superintendent Brian Busler.
Those locker searches
timing is of the essence.
Uhl said he wants to see

The Village of Oregons

funding for the Fire/EMS
District is expected to
increase by 7.6 percent next
year, to a total of $465,077.
Thats 62.5 percent of the
municipality contributions
to the districts budget,
which matches the villages
population percentage.
The towns of Oregon,
Dunn and Rutland follow
with 20.4 percent, 11.6 percent and 5.3 percent, respectively.
District chief Jack
Mlnarik has proposed a 4.5
percent increase in next
years budget, due to salaries being added for two
full-time firefighters and an
annual physical program for
all members an expense of
$7,500.
He requested allocating
$200,000 to purchase a new
ambulance, which all of the
contributing municipalities
have agreed to.

the districts policy change

from reasonable suspicion of students to one
allowing random searches
by K-9 units. Zach, a longtime school board member
and an attorney for other
area school boards, said
there is a fundamental theory in education of using
the least restrictive methods available, and then
moving to most restrictive
ones if those are not successful.
Why have the least
restrictive means not
worked to take us to the
most restrictive path? he
asked. A lockdown of the
school and bringing in K-9
units across the county into
our building? I need that
rationale.

How it would work

In response to a question
from board member Charles
Uphoff on what precipitated
the request, Uhl said district
students have been cited for
having drugs at school, and
that there is a drug epidemic in the community.
All Im trying to do is
get the schools to be a safe
place and drug-free zone,
he said, noting that the
searches could be extended
to staff areas and vehicles
if the board wished. Having the dogs go through a
couple times a year will
keep it in the kids minds, I
shouldnt be bringing drugs
to school because I might
get caught.
Uhl said ideally, the
sweep would be done within one class period, but said
that depends on how many
K-9 teams the department
can bring in from around
the county, as the OPD has
only one. He said the dogs
can sniff out most illegal
drugs, including prescription drugs, but not alcohol.
He said two teams comprised of a police officer,
K-9 and a school official
would sweep the middle
school, with four teams
sweeping the high school.
Students would be put in
lockdown in their classes
and would have to place
their backpacks, bags and

Uphoff said he had

potential constitutional
issues raised concerning
the rights of students and
minors.
It seems to be reasonable
suspicion or probable cause
should be something given
thoughtful consideration
when deciding whether or
not to conduct a search,
he said. Absent reasonable
suspicion, I am concerned
about going ahead with this
kind of program for random
searches.
Board member Barb Feeney said she was concerned
about the effects of the
searches on students.
Its kind of a presumption of guilt if every locker
is sniffed, and every backpack, she said. My primary

Administrators
recommendations
Board members asked
Busler and Pliner for their
recommendations on having random drug dog
sweeps of district schools.
Busler said he and his
administrative team needed
more time to examine the
issue, saying its a balancing test.
One thing we dont want
to do is treat all students as
though they are violators of
the policy, he said. On
the other balancing side,
I get a lot of phone calls
from parents about making
our schools as safe as possible. If this is a tool that
can make our schools safer
than they currently are from
a drug standpoint, Im in
favor of it. Were not doing
our job if were not listening to parents who ask us to
do random searches. Were
not doing our job if were
not listening to our chief of
police who has advocated
this as a deterrent.
Pliner said while he wanted to see more information
on exactly how the OPD
would conduct the searches,
he said having them every
once in awhile could flip
the balance of power and
culture of silence that can
be bred among students
afraid to report drugs in the
schools.
It gives people something to wonder about, he
said.

Board concerns

concern is what it creates in

the way of a school culture;
that our kids would be perceiving what we as a school
board and adults in the community think of them.
Feeney said she also
wants to know more about
the effectiveness of random searches versus other
methods to try to get at drug
abuse at the school. When
asked by board member
Rae Vogeler on statistics on
the effectiveness of random
searches as deterrents, Uhl
deferred, saying he needed
to do some research on
that.
Krause questioned how
much safer the schools
would be with a few random searches a year.
Safer in the sense that
theres less drugs in the
school? Great, I love it, I
want that, he said. But
safer in the sense of knowing that your administration, your teachers and the
people you trust are going
to trust you back?
Thats going to, I think,
have some affect on that.

purses in the hallways for

the dogs to check them.
Student lockers and
all vehicles in the parking lot would also be
checked, though Uhl said
student vehicles parked
on the street would not be
searched unless there was
reasonable suspicion
drugs were inside. During
the drug sweep, students
would not be able to leave
their classroom.
(Students will) make
up an excuse to go to the
bathroom, and theyll go to
a locker and retrieve something that maybe shouldnt
be in their locker and dispose of it, Uhl said.
Uphoff asked Uhl what
the point of the searches
would be if students know
police cant check them
personally.
If thats understood,
(drugs) would not be out in
a backpack or locker, he
said.
Busler said he would not
want the searches to extend
for more than one class
period, noting that drug
dog searches in the schools
would be disruptive.
If youve ever been to a
drug dog search, the dogs
are not silent; theyre making noise as they go through
the hallways, he said. We
dont want to create anxiety
for students with anxiety
issues. We dont want this
to take an entire morning.
Uhl said he couldnt
guarantee the searches
could be concluded within
a class period, as it depends
on how many K-9 teams he
could bring in.
Its going to take a little
bit of research and trial and
error on our part to make
sure we get it done in a
(class) period, he said.

Brooklyn: Compromise saves youth center

Continued from page 1
Carol Strause was still
going through the cuts the
board decided on to figure
out the new projected rate.
I have to redo everything, Strause told the
Observer. I cant even tell
you where were at.
Proposals at the meeting included a cut for and
nearly a full defunding of
the Oregon Youth Center,
which could have forced
it to close, as well as an
increase in what the village
will pay to the Fire/EMS
district. And the board ended up cutting two proposed
new positions.
But many of the cuts
were $1,000 here and there
for public works items or
other smaller cuts.
As of last week, Strause
said she had the budget
under the levy limit. But
that did not factor in an
increase in payment to the
Fire/EMS district that had
been requested or funding to set up a documentation system for all village
emails.
Once those and a few
other small items were added back in, the board needed to cut around $32,000
Monday night to get below
the levy limit, Strause said.
To get there, the board
will use expenditure
restraint funds to help fill
the gap, rather than putting
them in reserve.

Fire/EMS increase
Although the full increase
to the fire and EMS budget
was questioned before the
meeting, the board ultimately decided to fund the
full amount.
The public budget hearing that opened the meeting
included testimony from a
pair of groups that were on
the cutting block, or at least
potentially not getting all of
the funding they desired.
Dan Dean, the Brooklyn
EMS chief, told the board
the departments service
had been misrepresented in
recent comments that said
the village did not have
24/7 coverage.
Before rash decisions
are made you should have
all of the facts on the table,
Dean told the board.
The board ultimately funded the increased
amount the fire district
requested, contingent on
a new contract agreement
being signed by the end of
February.
The previous contract
called for the village to contribute $15 per capita, Village President Pat Hawkey
explained. But in recent
years, the village had added
a donation that brought
the total compensation to
$40 per capita.
This year, the district
requested an increase to
$60 per capita, including
debt that was transferred
to municipalities this year.
After doing some math on
the fly, trustees moved the
debt to the villages debt
service which doesnt
count against the general
fund levy and approved
funding the rest of it at
$54.74 per capita.
That increased the cost by
more than $28,000, Strause
said Tuesday, but much of
that will be covered by the
expenditure restraint funds.

Village will back out of

municipal court deal
The Village of Brooklyn is operating on a tight
timeline to plan how it
will handle court for citations next year.
Earlier this year, the
village entered an agreement with the Village of
Belleville to share municipal court services, but the
board voted Monday to
leave that agreement.
Trustees cited an unexpected cost increase as
their reason for wanting to
get out of the agreement.
Clerk Carol Strause told
the Observer its likely

Oregon Youth Center

The board initially put
the youth centers future in
doubt by denying the entire
$3,800 that was requested,
but eventually a compromise found $3,000, which
OYC board members said
should be enough.
Three people spoke on
behalf of the center during
the public hearing Monday,
including a Brooklyn resident who attended the center
growing up.
I now have a chance to
make something of my life
and be happy, said Oregon
High School junior Brianna
Anders. The youth center
gave me that chance.
After the initial funding
request failed 2-2, the board
later brought back $3,000 of
that funding.
While that leaves an $800
hole in the centers budget,
director Diane Newlin said
it likely would have had
to close had the board not
provided any funding at all.
She explained the center
receives funds from Dane
County, but those are contingent on it also receiving
funds from at least half of
the municipalities that use
the center.
The Village and Town
of Oregon both included
funding in their budgets,
but Newlin said the City of
Fitchburg does not provide
funding and the Town of
Brooklyn was an unknown.
To make the $3,000 provided as budget-neutral
as they could, the trustees
also cut the summer recreation budget from $5,900 to
$3,000. That could present a
challenge for that program,
but trustee Sue McCallum
said it was worth the change.
I remember before there
was an Oregon Youth Center and how much trouble
we had with the kids,
McCallum said. $200 per

the village will use Green

County courts for at least
part of 2016 while deciding
what to do in the future.
The board will meet
next Monday to officially
withdraw from the agreement, and Strause said
Belleville will have to
adopt an identical ordinance, though she had not
spoken with anyone there
about that yet.
Im not sure what happens if (Belleville doesnt
adopt an identical ordinance), she said.
Scott Girard
child were spending on
(summer recreation), but
were not willing to spend
$158 (per child for the youth
center).
The board also offered to
include fundraisers or supply drives in its online newsletter for the youth center.

Other cuts
While most of the other
cuts were smaller items like
public works gas costs, it cut
two proposed new positions
a part-time public works
position and a utilities clerk.
The board also shortened
the training time for the new
village clerk who will succeed Strause in July when
she retires. The budget had
called for the new person to
work in May, June and July
with Strause, but the board
cut two months of that.
In that timeframe, whoever it is isnt going to get
a whole lot of experience
doing other things, said
trustee Kyle Smith, referencing elections or tax experience.
Most of the other cuts
made during the three-plus
hours of line-by-line budgeting focused on making more
conservative estimates on
items that were under budget for 2015, such as attorney fees. The board also
cut a project to do work on
Railroad Road, which saved
$10,000 in the capital budget.
The board attempted
to take a stand against an
increase in Oregon Senior
Center fees, but it likely will
not matter. Trustees voted
2-2 against funding the
senior center increase, but
as long as two of the municipalities that use the center
approve the increase, all
members of the center will
have to pay.
The board will meet again
next Monday to approve the
final budget.

The amount of students
receiving state vouchers
to attend private schools
in Wisconsin rose dramatically in the past year.
According to a press
release last month from
the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction,
private school vouchers
were issued to 2,514 students in the Wisconsin
Parental Choice Program
(WPCP) for the 2015-16
school year, after just over
1,000 students were in the
program last year. Of the
1,640 new students in the

voucher program, nearly

20 percent attended a public school last year.
The number of schools
participating in the program also rose, from 31
last year to 82 this year.
Changes to state law
recently eliminated the

Students: Unusual number

Obituary
Richard Charles
Norton

wanted to serve on boards

Continued from page 1
Non-student alternates
were also added to the
Park Board and Historic
Preservation Commission.
All appointments are
made for a one-year term
by the village president
and are subject to the Village Boards confirmation.
Only the student rep
and alternate on the Park
Board will have voting
rights. Student members
on the other bodies will
not be permitted to join in
closed sessions and wont
be counted in determining
whether a quorum is present.
In discussion prior to
the boards vote, Staton
said the village had an
unusually large number of
OHS students interested
in serving on boards and
commissions this year.
He didnt want to refuse
any student who wanted
to serve, he told the board,
so he worked with village
administrator Mike Gracz
to come up with a plan
to increase the number of
possibilities.
Village trustees were

supportive of the change,

although Jeff Boudreau
questioned why students
serving on the Park Board
would be authorized to
vote but not the others.
Staton and others said
the Park Board tends to
deal with less technical
issues than some of the
other entities, and he noted that anything approved
by the Park Board ultimately goes to the Village
Board for final approval
anyway.
The ordinance change
added one more member
to the Park Board, for a
total of eight.
The Park Board
includes representatives
from the Oregon Area
Chamber of Commerce,
Oregon Rotary Club and
the Oregon School District. The village president appoints one member nominated by each
organization, in addition
to a high school student, a
student alternate and one
non-student alternate.
Other members of the
Park Board are village
residents who apply for a
seat on the board and are
confirmed by the Village
Board.
