OCA creating
promotional video
for the village
KIMBERLY WETHAL
Observer correspondent
Creating a snapshot of
the village has been Ore-
gon Cable Access summer
project.
An idea first brought to
them by Judy Knutson,
executive director for the
Oregon Area Chamber of
Commerce, OCA is work-
ing on a promotional video
that highlights the commu-
nity feel of the village.
Knutson works with the
Wisconsin Chamber of
Commerce Executives and
has seen other promotional
videos created by munici-
palities around the state to
highlight their communi-
ties. That inspired her, she
said, to have something
similar for Oregon.
We want to highlight
how vibrant we are and

Our motto is Live, Work,

to work with.

5 things to know for the 2017-18 school year

School District students, Tuesday
marks the first day of the 2017-
18 school year a year where
most of the dust has settled after
months of construction, and the
focus is now expanding programs
in the new areas.
In the Observers annual list of
things to look for in the new year,
three of the top five items concern
how the district will now make
use of the new spaces and places
constructed for students through
the $54.6 million capital projects
referendum passed in 2014.
The No. 1 thing to watch is how
educators and students adapt to
the high school, where work con-
tinued throughout the summer to
renovate the old part of the high
school, constructed 50 years ago.
Both there and at Oregon Middle
School, students will have a full
year in new spaces, including a
new gym at the high school and
a commons area expected to be
completed this fall.
Second, as part of renovations
at OHS and OMS, the districts
STEAM (science, technology,
engineering, art and math) pro-
grams have gotten a boost, with
dedicated spaces for STEAM
classes and larger collaborative
areas where multiple classes in
different subjects can get together
to learn. The STEAM expansion
is also tied into the third thing
to watch, the districts contin-
ued expansion of personalized
learning, where students can help

No. 4 on our list is how the

school was located off-campus,

The district is zeroing in on
the completion of the $54.6 mil-

dent Brian Busler put it. The final

completion in late October.
The projects are on budget and

torn up during the last few months
as workers completed a variety of
projects.
The Library Media Center was
restored, and the schools science,
technology, engineering, arts and
math center were demolished to
make way for a new one in the
former math area. Some science
classrooms were also renovated,
as well as some of the older parts
of the school to establish col-
laborative work areas similar to
those in the new academic wing.
Pliner said the new areas in the
high school will provide students
with wonderful new learning
environments.
The spaces allow for flexible
grouping (and) include furniture
that optimizes collaboration and
provides students with open and
well lit spaces to spark creativity,
he told the Observer in an email.

Why did you want to work for the
Oregon Fire Department?
I enjoyed the family atmosphere
that exists here with these guys and
girls and loved that the department
does so much for the community.
Why did you become a firefighter?
I know it sounds cliche, but I truly
love helping someone in need. I can
guarantee that if you asked anyone
else at the station they would have
the same answer and also truly mean
it.
What interests you about Oregon
as a community?
The first time I was in Oregon it
reminded me a lot of the small town
I was born in and it felt right to me
to be here. I love the friendly people
and the closeness and support the
People of the Village have for one
another.
How have your first few weeks
on the job been? Any early high-
lights?
The first few weeks have been
great. The people in the department
are always willing to train and show

Why did you want to
work for the Oregon Fire

I wanted to finally spread
my wings and get out to my
own department and find
my own place after follow-
ing in my family footsteps
of four generations of fire-
fighters.
Why did you become a
firefighter?
I always wanted to be a
firefighter ever since I can
remember. It is almost like
a family business with me
being the fourth generation
to become a firefighter.

about Oregon as a com-

As a community it seems
very well grounded and
rather unique, with all the
community events going

an opportunity of a life time

life career choice.

Girls golf
Oregon builds momentum
Panthers finish sixth at
Crusade Fore a Cure invite
ANTHONY IOZZO
Assistant sports editor
The Oregon High School girls golf
team took sixth Monday at the Cru-
sade Fore a Cure Invitational at Maple
Bluff Country Club.
The tournament is a little more than
just any golf event, however. Each
team is asked to raise money for the
Susan G. Komen Foundation for
breast cancer research, and the girls
all wore pink in support of those with
breast cancer.
The tournament ended up taking
about seven hours to complete with
some holes backing up due to slow
groups, but that didnt stop Oregon
from finishing with a 384.
Junior Ally Payne tied for 16th with
junior Sydney McKee, both finished
with a 91. Senior Andi McCorkle tied
for 20th with Miltons Claudia See-
man, shooting a 93.
Freshman Alyssa Schmidt finished
the scoring with a 109. Sam McKees
118 was thrown out.
Bay Ports Jo Baranczyk won the
meet with a 76, and Miltons Mia See-
man followed with a 77. Franklins
Courtney Matschke and Miltons Tay-
lor Hakala finished tied for third with
79s.
Milton took first with a 346, and
Middleton was runner-up with a 350.
Verona took third with a 377.
Portage invite
The Panthers traveled to Portage
Country Club on Aug. 23 for the Por-
tage invite and finished third out of 17
teams with a 373.
Payne finished third overall with an
84, and McCorkle tied for ninth over-
all with an 87, joining Stoughtons
Caylie Kotlowski and Osseo-Fair-
childs Grace Eide.
McKee followed with an 88, which
was 12th overall, and Schmidt fin-
ished the scoring with a 114.
Middleton won the meet with a
354. Waunakee (370) and Verona
(377) finished second and fourth,
respectively.
Boys soccer
Oregon focuses on
getting back to state
ANTHONY IOZZO
Assistant sports editor
The 2017 version of the Oregon
High School boys soccer team has
a lot of turnover, but that the over-
all goals havent changed.
After coming a few penalty
kicks short of making state last
season, the Panthers are not only
expecting to continue its run in
the Badger South Conference but
is also looking to get back to state
after missing out the previous two
seasons, coach Kevin May said.
It wont be easy, however, as
Oregon returns three of eight
starters and two of nine all-Bad-
ger South Conference selections.
The Panthers graduated 13 of
24 letterwinners from last sea-
sons team that finished 14-4-2
overall. They get back junior hon-

5 things: OASIS moves to OHS, personalized learning expands around the district
Continued from page 1
2. STEAM expansion
The newly renovated
STEAM area in the high
school is also nearing com-
pletion, Pliner said. In a few
weeks, the impact will be
felt, he said, as staff will
move in and set up furniture
and equipment.
Our staff is looking for-
ward to using this space to
allow students to create,
problem solve and innovate,
he said.
Busler said the new space
will include a Makerspace
lab for students to create,
design and manufacture
small projects or products.
This creative space sup-
ports the personalized learn-
ing approach, where a student
is leading their learning with
a creative idea and bringing
this idea to a prototype or
market ready, he wrote in an
email to the Observer. The
problem-solving and critical
thinking required are two
examples of 21st-century
learning and thinking.
At OMS, the new STEAM
space, completed earlier this
year, includes three state-
of-the-art music rooms, two
technology innovation labs
and a design lab in the new
science wing that will give
students the ability to study
science with a hands-on
approach. The science lab
is also connected to a green-
house to bring agri-science
and plant-based studies into
the middle school curricu-
lum.

Oregon Observer
Oregon High School English teacher Janet Fandrey, center,
passes out an assignment to her students last year. The new
space upstairs has an open configuration with a variety of
furniture.
There is a strong history
of Oregon teachers having
a high interest in STEAM
fields and working on the
interconnectedness of sci-
ence, technology, engineer-
ing, the arts and mathemat-
ics, Busler said
3. Personalized
learning expansion
In the sixth year of the
districts personalized learn-
ing initiative, the program
will continue to evolve and
expand at all the district
schools, Busler said.
One of the ways person-
alized learning will work
throughout the district is
breaking students up into
more flexible groups
based on level of under-
standing, district director
of curriculum Leslie Berg-
strom said earlier this year,
with teachers using regular
assessments to figure out

the emphasis on personal-
ized learning, the district is
focusing on the creation
of relevant and empowering
learning experiences, one
of the districts core values.
Our goal is to create
students who are owners of
their learning, she wrote
the Observer in an email.
To this end, we are focus-
ing on the use of learning
