No more
summer
break?
Seth Jovaag
Unifed Newspaper Group
A l ocal el ement a-
ry school is studying
whether to shift to year-
round schooling as ear-
ly as 2014.
Staff from Nether-
wood Knoll Elementary
School got the green
light last week from the
Oregon School Board
to form a task force to
study the pros and cons
of moving to a bal-
anced calendar.
The potential shift
wouldnt add to the
roughly 180 days of
school for teachers and
kids but could do away
wi t h t he t radi t i onal
three-month summer
break, explained school
principal Dan Rikli.
Instead, the calendar
could include several
breaks of three weeks
or mor e. The goal
would be to combat
the summer slump,
in which many kids see
math or reading levels
drop during the long
summer vacation.
School st af f pr e-
sented data to the board
showing that scores on
reading tests between
spring and fall for 40
percent of Netherwood
students. In math, 44
percent of ki ds saw
scores drop.
Rikli said the school
is open-minded to the
change but will survey
parents and do more
research before making
a decision.
If the community
feels this is not for
them, were not going
to push the agenda,
Rikli told the board.
A t a s k f or c e of
20-25 members will
meet twice a month,
beginning in June, and
expects to make a rec-
ommendat i on t o t he
board in January 2014.
The group will include
staff, administrators,
parents, daycare pro-
viders, a school board
me mbe r a nd by
request from school
boar d member Rae
Vogeler a representa-
tive from the Oregon
teachers union.
In a memo t o t he
board, Rikli and other
Netherwood teachers
cited research showing
that year round school
can combat the summer
slump, particularly for
kids from low-income
families, and lead to
better attendance, fewer
disciplinary problems
and mor e posi t i ve
wellness conditions for

Knetherwood Knoll considers year-round school
Village of Oregon
Liquor rules set
after late change
existing Class a
licenses will be
grandfathered
Bill liviCk
The Village Board Monday
heard a second reading and
adopted a new ordinance curb-
ing alcohol sales in the village.
The ordinance was changed
slightly from a version the
board considered in April. At
a May 6 overview and public
forum on the ordinance, busi-
nessman Ted Wallace ques-
tioned a provision that would
have prohibited a Class A
license being granted to busi-
nesses located within 1,056
feet of another business hold-
ing the same license. Class A
licenses are reserved for busi-
nesses that sell alcohol to take
out, such as Wallaces Alpine
Liquors on North Main Street.
Wallace told the board that
provision would make his
business worthless if he had
to sell it.
It doesnt seem fair, he
said.
Trustee Jerry Bollig agreed
and said he would like the rule
amended. Other board mem-
bers also agreed, and after
some discussion changed the
policy to essentially grandfa-
ther existing businesses hold-
ing a Class A liquor license.
The board directed attorney
Matt Dregne to add language
to the provision stating, This

Belows proposal to hire an
engineer to evaluate the vil-

Det er mi ni ng t he l i f e
expectancy of municipal
wells is part of what goes
into the evaluation, Below
said. But the real benefit
of a study is it will show
where there are weaknesses
in the water system and
include recommendations
for future improvements.
He said there would be
two key parts to the study.
First there would be exten-
sive field work getting pres-
sure readings and flow lev-
els off fire hydrants.
The second part involves
creating a water system
model on computer.
That will tell us where

lyze the distribution system

A Lot of Trouble
Growing chorus opposes razing
historic home for more parking
Bill liviCk
Village officials are continu-
ing negotiations on a historic
home at the edge of downtown
Oregon in hopes of buying the
property and turning it into a
municipal parking lot.
But opposi t i on t o mov-
ing or demolishing one of the
villages oldest properties
known as the Ames Home
surfaced Monday when two
women spoke at a public hear-
ing against purchasing the
property at 146 S. Main St.,
currently the home of Deb
Bossingham and Steve New-
ton.
Pat Wilkening, a lifelong
area resident and descendant
of the Ames family, told the
Village Board she opposes the
plan.
Its an important part of
village history, Wilkening
said. If you move or demol-
ish homes like this, we lose the
ability to tell the story of Ore-
gon. It makes no sense.
Julia Meyers, a member of
the Historic Preservation Com-
mission and the Oregon Area
Historical Society, appeared
with Wilkening and seconded
her opinion:
If we take away the charm
of historic Oregon to build a
parking lot, that would be a
mistake, she said. I want
you to think if its important
to remove that home to build a
parking lot.

Introducing NEW Outdoor Classes at The Zone
owner and businesswoman
Bonnie Thiel and local his-
torian Melanie Woodworth
wrote in separate emails to
village officials.
Vi l l age admi ni st rat or
Mike Gracz acknowledged
there is a segment of the
community that does not
support the plan to replace
the building with a parking
lot. But since the public dis-
cussion over 146 S. Main
St. emerged a few weeks
ago, most downtown busi-
ness owners, the Chamber
of Commerce and the Vil-
lage Board have supported
the idea.
The board has twice vot-
ed unanimously in favor
of making an offer on the
property the most recent
at the May 13 meeting and
has talked about spending
as much as $400,000 to pur-
chase the property and build
a 50-stall parking lot.
Gracz sai d t he dol l ar
amount and number of stalls
is preliminary. The village
hasnt reached an agreement
with the property owners
and hasnt hired an engineer
to design a lot, he said.
Observer phone calls to
homeowner Bossingham
were not returned.
The concern over a lack
of downtown parking has
come to the fore with the
reopening of Senor Peppers
Mexican Restaurant a few
weeks ago and the antici-
pated opening of a new res-
taurant Masons on Main
this week.
But Bonnie and Jerry
Thiel, who own the build-
ings that will house Masons
on Main, are strong believ-
ers in preserving historic
homes and buildings. While
they recognize the need for
more parking downtown,
they dont support removing
the Ames Home to build a
new lot.
Addi t i onal par ki ng
gained by the destruction
of the site/trees would be
a shame, and I oppose this
type of progress, Bonnie
Thiel wrote in an email to
village officials.
Arlan Kay, an architect
who specializes in historic
restoration, is chair of the
villages Historic Preserva-
tion Commission. He hasnt
formed an opinion about the
villages plan for the Ames
Home, he told the Observer.
He said the issue came
up kind of fast at a com-
mission meeting several
weeks ago.
Were trying to get an
assessment of how historic
it is, he said of the home.
At the meeting, there was
concern that it came up kind
of quick.
Kay added hes not sure if
the location is the best place
for a parking lot.
They tend to be a little
bit of a barricade, and that
discourages pedestrian traf-
fic, he explained.
Gracz said he detected a
lack of support for the plan
when he mentioned it at the
commission meeting.
I did it as an FYI at a
Historic Preservation Com-
mission meeting, and some
commission members had
the same reaction about the
property that hes heard
from other preservationists.
Village President Steve
Staton said its clear the
village needs more park-
ing stalls downtown. He
responded cautiously to the
statements from Wilkening
and Meyers at the public
hearing Monday.
I think its fair to say it
was good information to
hear, he said. Downtown
parking has a lot of inter-
est and a lot of pros and
cons. Everybody agrees
its needed, but every place
you look, there are pros and
cons.
After discussing the mat-
ter in closed session Mon-
day, Staton said village staff
would be conferring with
the owners of 146 S. Main
St. on Tuesday.
For her part, Wilkening
said she understands that the
Village Board is trying to
do the best it can.
Still, she thinks there
must be some better things
that can happen for a park-
ing lot than taking down
some of the historic homes
in that area.
She said Oregons done
a good job of preserving its
historic areas and hopes the
village will continue that
policy.
Thats a historic neigh-
borhood, and I would hate
to see that house go, she
said. I know its been
neglected, and its lost a
lot of its charm, but there
might be an opportunity for
someone to restore it or fix
it up. I just hate to see this
happen, because once they
take one theyll start to take
more houses in that neigh-
borhood.
I know parking is a prob-
lem, she added. I under-
stand that, but Im for pre-
serving our history as much
as we can.

Local historians dont know exactly when the house at 146 S. Main St. was built, but most believe it was in the 1850s. The village is
attempting to buy the home and use the property for a future parking lot.
I know its been
neglected, and
its lost a lot of
its charm, but
there might be an

OHS students article gets
WNA honorable mention
Oregon High School junior Jackson Schneider recently
received an honorable mention from the Wisconsin News-
paper Association for an article he wrote for the school
newspaper in March.
Schneider, who wrote in the Paw Print about local
steps to improve school security in the wake of the San-
dy Hook school shooting last December, was honored in
the editorial category for large schools with more than
1,000 students.
Pettit receives
glowing review
But village Board
has concerns about
how the police
chief handles
complaints
Bill liviCk
Oregon pol i ce chi ef
Doug Pettit received a
g l o w i n g
j o b p e r -
f o r ma n c e
evaluation
in his 2011-
12 review.
Vi l l a g e
administra-
t o r Mi k e
Gracz eval-
uated Pet-
tits work in March. Based
on Graczs written com-
ments, Pettit would seem
to be an ideal employee
and police chief.
The onl y i t em t hat
raised a question about
Pettit came in a narra-
tive from the chiefs last
evaluation, when Gracz
wrote, As this evalua-
tion illustrates, Doug is
an excellent employee and
department head. Howev-
er, Doug and the Village
Board need to discuss an
ongoing issue regarding
the Boards perception of
how Doug handles com-
plaints and inquiries from
the public regarding the
Police Department.
Gracz wrote that Pettit
and the board should dis-
cuss developing an effec-
tive communication sys-
tem to communicate about
this type of item, but also
annual goals.
Gracz also suggested
that Pettit and the board
should discuss how to
establish a better work-
i ng r el at i onshi p. He
commented that the chief
has superior knowledge
of police activities and
continues to take on extra
work for the village.
He noted that Pettit is
constantly training and is
always looking to improve
his police and manage-
ment knowledge, and
that he takes on new duties
when t he j ob requi res
whether asked to or not.
Pettit was hired by the
village on Dec. 1, 1975.
He became chief of the
Oregon Police Depart-
ment on May 21, 1985.
His current annual salary
is $89,481.60, according
to village records.

Officials signal approval for change to public street
Village of Oregon
Fiduciary plans to
build Raven Court
this year in bid to
spur development
Bill liviCk
The Village Board and
Planning Commission each
si gnal ed t hei r approval
recently for the owners of
the Legend at Bergamont
to change what had been
planned as a private street
into a public street.
Raven Court has not
yet been constructed, but
Craig Raddatz, vice presi-
dent of Fi duci ary Real
Estate Development, told
the board last week that his
company wants to build the
street this year in order to
open more lots for devel-
opment in the mid-level
price range.
The street would intersect
with Alpine Parkway on the
east and Carnoustie Way on
the west. A small segment
of Carnoustie Way will also
be converted to a public
street from where it meets
Augusta Drive on the north
to where it will eventually
intersect with Raven Way a
block south of Augusta.
A gat e mar ki ng t he
entrance of the gated sec-
tion of the development
at t he nort hern end of
Carnoustie Way will be
removed and relocated a
few hundred feet south, so
that Raven Court would not
be within the gated part of
the neighborhood. Another
gate would be added farther
east and just south of where
Carnoustie Way, which is a
U-shaped street, will inter-
sect Raven Court to the
east.
Car noust i e Way wi l l
remain private south of
Raven Court.
Publ i c Wor ks di r ec-
tor Mark Below did not
oppose the idea of making
the street public, although
he di d comment t o t he
Planning Commission that
with the winters the way
theyve been, the last thing
we need is another public
street.
Other than plowing and
salting and some future
maintenance, theres not
much to it, he added. Its
only a block-and-a-half
long.
Thats all private prop-
erty right now, so theres
some legal paperwork to
do, he added.
All the streets in the
Bergamont are out l ot s,
owned by Fiduciary. So it
would go from an outlot to
a public street.
With the winters
the way theyve
been, the last thing
we need is another
public street.

These remarks were delivered
to the Oregon School Board last
week. Throughout this commen-
tary, the word administration
refers to both the District Office
and the Oregon School Board:
A
fter last years referendum
was
defeated,
the administra-
tion went back
to work.
This time,
surveys were
studied, conver-
sations with staff
and commu-
nity scheduled,
schmoozing in
the various philanthropic clubs in
town, on the golf courses, etc. The
outcome was a new approach and a
doubled price tag for the Facilities
Master Plan.
Intense marketing began. It
convinced me that we have some
structural and maintenance prob-
lems that should be addressed. But
the price tag seemed disproportion-
ate to the previously voted down
referendum.
The new Master Plan seemed
like it was being pushed through
without detail or real public trans-
parency, a common practice with
this administration. Frankly, this
methodology leads to poor results
and bad feelings.
No offense, but the administra-
tion looked a little desperate and a
little foolish with its lack of detail
and transparency about the refer-
endum.
So the administration decided
to shelve the Facilities Master
Plan and blamed the union for this
decision, teachers as scapegoats, a
lousy, shameful practice.
More recently, there was a
nicely written plea by Courtney
Odorico in the May 2 issue of the
Oregon Observer for the referen-
dum to be a community concern
and to justify how important it is
for the district and students. It con-
cluded that a community task force
should be formed.
Excellent idea, but the problem
is that the administration is still
not really listening. Why? I do not
know. Maybe the administration
isnt listening because of personal
agendas, worries about legacy or
an inappropriate need to wield
power and control.
The administration needs to
wipe the sleep out of its eyes
and realize there have been sev-
eral wakeup calls that must be
answered. To date, they have been
quite blatantly ignored.
Some members of the admin-
istration need to understand that
many voters in this district do not
like that their childrens schools
are being run based on the contem-
porary business model.
What do we really want for our
local community schools? What
do we really want for our children?
Do we want to be a part of the edu-
cational industrial complex where
community members, students and
employees have little or no say in
this great social system called pub-
lic education?
The current administration needs
to align itself with the community.
The administration needs to be
more humanistic. The administra-
tion should not follow bad prac-
tices that put our schools in danger
of not being the best that they can
be, practices that really do not help
children become intelligent, think-
ing, caring and creative lifelong
learners.
Our schools in Oregon have
always been among the best. Our
children have many resources to
help them learn, but they are still
very dependent and need our tal-
ented and creative teachers and
support staff for their continued
quality education. Marginalizing
our teachers and staff and beating
them down is detrimental to our
childrens learning in so many
ways.
It seems teachers are the loyal
and loving dogs of society that
have been beaten down, but
because they have to eat, they con-
tinue to take the abuse. This prac-
tice needs to stop and stop now.
Educators strive to reach out to
our students and work with their
individual needs and concerns and
build those relationships necessary
to help students grow emotionally
and academically. Is the adminis-
tration paying attention and build-
ing positive relationships with
staff? Is the contemporary business
model an excuse for control and
autocratic top down management
style? Is this really the best prac-
tice?
The administration should not
follow the standard line of thinking
from pundits that are not qualified
to mandate educational policy. The
administration also must admit that
it is the problem that is keeping the
OSD from really moving forward.
The administration should start
by giving respect and dignity to
its employees. If you really have
heart, support your teachers and
staff, give them a livable wage
and decent benefits, eliminate the
fear and punishment philosophy
as a control method, conduct your-
selves with civility and decency,
then and only then will the people
of this community support a refer-
endum.
If any of you cannot see the big
picture, cannot be part of a more
positive change for OSD, or can-
not accept the challenge to work
for and together with employees
and a wide variety of community
members in a respectful manner,
then you should step down and
let another work for that positive
change.
The administration needs to
understand that the rejected refer-
endum a year ago was really a vote
of no confidence. No confidence
in planning, no confidence in set-
ting priorities and no confidence in
the fair and equitable treatment of
teachers and staff.
I am confident we can make
do with what we have until these
issues are addressed. Change is dif-
ficult but we can all work for the
common goal of educating future
generations.
The choice is yours you must
listen to the voters of this district,
again they have spoken loudly at
the polls.
I will not vote for this referen-
dum or any other until the adminis-
tration changes how they treat and
manage their employees, because
in the final analysis, people are
vastly more important than build-
ings. Have courage everyone to
change and change for the better.

D
ane County is a nationally
recognized leader in biking,
with over 200 miles of trails,
premier events like the IronMan
competition, and numerous cycling
industries calling our region home.
I meet regularly
with residents,
cycling organiza-
tions, and cycling
businesses that
give me valuable
perspective on
how to increase
cycling safety,
and strengthen
this key recre-
ational and economic asset.
This year were continuing to
move forward on a number of key
recommendations from our com-
munity.
This spring, communities and
organizations will be able to apply to
fund projects such as signage, road
striping, bike trail crossing improve-
ments and lighting from the $25,000
included in my county budget to
enhance safety.
A number of trails will move for-
ward this year, adding to our exten-
sive network of on and off-road
trails for cyclists and pedestrians that
link our parks, natural spaces and
communities.
First we
will connect
the Mili-
tary Ridge
State Trail
to Brigham
County
Park. The
trail will be
a little over
one mile
long, paved
10 wide
and traverse
through some of the most scenic
areas of Dane County. Construction
will most likely begin sometime this
summer with completion anticipated
by July 2014.
Planning for phase one of the
Lower Yahara River Trail will
also be finalized, with construction
anticipated in 2014. This trail would
connect the Capital City Trail in
Madison to McFarland and eventu-
ally will extend to Stoughton.
The county continues to partner
with the City of Madison on the Ice
Age Junction North Trail, connect-
ing county highway PD to Raymond
Road in Madison and county high-
way M.
Development of a missing trail
link between the Glacial Drumlin
Trail and Capital City Trail that
could connect Madison all the way
to Milwaukee continues as well as
a county-wide trail signage project,
allowing cyclists to better navigate
across the county for day or week-
long cycling trips.
Our efforts are making this fun
and easy sport for families and peo-
ple of all ages safer and even easier
to get into. For more cycling info

restriction shall not apply
to the issuance of a new
license where premises
have been operating and
open for business under the
same class of license within
the preceding 12 months.
Village administrator
Mike Gracz said the change
would allow somebody
to have a Class A license if
they were to move a prop-
erty or sell it.
Other key provisions of
the ordinance that remained
intact include restricting
licenses to businesses that
sell prescription medica-
tions and prohibiting the
sale of single servings of
fermented malt beverages
by businesses that also sell
gasoline.
The or di nance al so
requires that when serving
samples of alcohol, a serv-
er is required to check IDs
for anyone who appears to
be under the age of 30 and
tightens the guidelines on
server training.
We also made our appli-
cations for licenses much
more complete and thor-
ough, which sends the mes-
sage that you need to do
things right, said Village
President Steve Staton, who
has led the effort to tighten
regulations on alcohol sales
and consumption.
Last year t he board
passed a new social host
policy that applies to parents
and other adults. A similar
policy has since been adopt-
ed in other communities,
i nc l udi ng
St ought on
and Middle-
ton.
S t a t o n
said that in
c o n j u n c -
t i on wi t h
area schools
conducting
the Parents Who Host Lose
the Most campaign and the
social host ordinance, advo-
cates of tighter regulations
on alcohol sales and con-
sumption are making head-
way.
The long-term goal, Sta-
ton said, is to change the
states culture of alcohol,
which he said is too accept-
ing of alcohol consumption
as an everyday way of life.
He sai d i n order t o
accomplish the goal, com-
munities need to enact
stricter local policies, which
is how the statewide smok-
ing ban went into effect.
That started in isolated
places, and it spread, too,
he said.

Oregon Area has 10
Memorial Day ceremonies
W
hile the Oregon
area has many
Memorial Day
celebrations, many people
carry on national traditions
on this day. Here are a few
traditions and their origins,
according to PBS.org.
Displaying the flag
On Memorial Day, the
U.S. flag should be dis-
played at half-staff until
noon. I n t he mor ni ng,
the flag should be raised
momentarily to the top,
then lowered to half-staff.
Americans can also honor
prisoners of war and those
missing in action by flying
the POW/MIA flag.
Visiting grave sites
Memorial Day was origi-
nally known as Decoration
Day because it was a time
to honor the nations dead
by decorating their graves
with flowers. Many Ameri-
cans make special flower
arrangements and deliver
them as a family to grave
sites of their loved ones and
ancestors.
Nat i onal Moment of
Remembrance: In accor-
dance with a congressional
resolution passed in 2000,
Americans pause wherever
they are at 3 p.m. local time
for a moment of silence to
remember and honor the
fallen.
Memorial Day Parades
The Me mor i a l Da y
parade is a time-honored
tradition in cities and towns
across Ameri ca, where
neighbors come together
to remember with pride
for those who sacrificed so
much for our country.
Memorial Day poppies
The tradition of red pop-
pies on Memorial Day was
inspired by the 1915 poem
In Flanders Fields by
John McCrea.
Seeing the poem and its
colorful illustration in a
magazine, Georgia teacher
and volunteer war worker
to Moina Michael made a
personal pledge to always
wear red silk poppies as an
emblem for keeping the
faith with all who died.
She also began a cam-
paign to make the poppy a
universal symbol of trib-
ute and support for veter-
ans. Through her efforts,
the idea was adopted in the
United States and spread to
England, France, Austra-
lia and more than 50 other
countries.

From remarkable fam-

The Widows Mite
The gospels of Mark and Luke both tell the story of the poor
widow who gives two small copper coins to the temple treasury.
This would have been the rough equivalent of putting in two pen-
nies, but Jesus tells his disciples that she has actually given more
than all the others. They have given from their abundance while
she has given from what she had to live on. With income inequal-
ity growing in many countries we have a much larger number
of both impoverished and wealthy people and consequently a
hollowing out of the middle class. In the United States, the
U. S. Census Bureau reports that 15.9 per cent, 48.5 million
Americans, fell below the poverty line in 2011, while the Wall
Street Journal reports that the wealthiest 1% of Americans saw
their income increase by 275% over the last three decades. What
income growth there has been in the United States during the last
few years has been reaped mostly by the wealthiest of us. The
poor are indeed getting poorer, the rich are getting richer, and
more middle class folks are falling into poverty. It is certainly nice
when the wealthy share their riches, but when billionaires donate
a million dollars they are literally giving one thousandth of their
wealth away. When someone living below the poverty line, whose
net worth may be less than zero, gives a single dollar, they are
literally giving of their very life. How many of us, whether rich or
poor, can actually heed the call of the gospels to give of our sub-
stance, not just our abundance?
Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all of
them; for they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out
of her poverty put in all the living that she had.

An Evening
of Elegance
Oregon High School held
prom off campus for the first
time on Saturday, April 20.
Approximately 325 students,
accompanied by about 25
chaperone volunteers, came to
the dance at Sheraton Madison
Hotel on John Nolen Drive.
The theme of the night was
Hotel Royale An Evening of
Elegance.

Asked by the board if
Netherwood teachers are
supportive of the idea, Rik-
li answered, I would not
stand here if didnt have
(a) critical mass of teachers
supporting this.
Year-round school i s
relatively rare in Wiscon-
sin, but a state Depart-
ment of Public Instruction
spokesperson said the state
doesnt track how many
schools do it. Rikli said
he knows of only a dozen
to 15 schools that do it,
though its more wide-
spread in states like Minne-
sota and Colorado.
Th e s c h o o l b o a r d
broached t he t opi c si x
years ago in its Vision-
ing paper that questioned
whether the agrarian cal-
endar, designed to give
kids time off to work on
farms in summers, was out-
dated.
The task force is using
the term balanced calen-
dar because year round
school leads people to
t hi nk s t udent s woul d
exceed the normal 180 days
of instruction, Rikli said in
a separate interview.
According to the Nation-
al Education Association,
the most popular form of
year-round education is
the 45-15 plan, in which
students attend school for
45 days (nine weeks) and
then have 15 days, or three
weeks, of vacation, plus
the normal holidays off.
Calendars can also follow a
60-20 or 90-30 sched-
ule.
In year-round schools,
students can all follow the
same calendar or blocks of
students can attend school
at di fferent t i mes wi t h
different vacations, which
some districts do to combat
overcrowding, the associa-
tions website explains.
Critics of year-round
schooling often say it can
lead to scheduling head-
aches f or af t er - school
extracurricular programs
and for parents with kids
in schools with different
schedules.

Police rePortS
April 16
9:30 a.m. Police investigat-
ed a report that an 18-year-
old man allegedly showed
nude photos of a 15-year-old
boy to two teenage girls in
Oregon. Oregon police listed
tentative charges of sexual
exploitation of a child and one
count of possessing child por-
nography, but those charges
had not been filed by the Dane
County District Attorneys
office as of early this week.
1 p.m. Police were called to
the 600 block of East Nether-
wood Street by a local woman
who claimed a 16-year-old
passenger in her car had done
heroin that afternoon and tried
to jump from the vehicle rath-
er than go to the hospital. The
teen was taken to a hospital.

Behrend, Wilhelm lead Panthers
3 doubles team to conference title,
Oregons first since 1998
Jeremy JOnes
Sports editor
Brady Behrend and Jackson Wilhelm were
barely out of diapers the last time Oregon boys
tennis crowned a Badger Conference champion.
Saturday the duo did just that, becoming the
Panthers first champions since Mark Heller and
Tom Bandow back in 1998 at No. 2 doubles.
The top seed entering the tournament, Beh-
rend and Wilhelm fought off second-seeded Nick
Contezac and Austin Lacey 6-4, 6-0 in the cham-
pionship match.
I know its a big deal for Oregon, Behrend
said. Personally, it hasnt sunk in yet.
With both teams coming off tight three-set
matches earlier in the day, it was the top seeded
Wilhelm and Behrend that jumped out to a 3-0
lead.
Earlier in the week the Crusaders had taken the
same Oregon team into three sets.
We played a lot better today, Wilhelm said.
We got off to a good start today and knew that
we could finish.
Despite having the top seed, Wilhelm contin-
ued, we knew it wouldnt come easy.
The duo advanced on to the title match follow-
ing a 6-7 (5), 6-1, 6-2 victory over fourth-seeded
Mitch Ernst and Josh Cordell of Waunakee early
Saturday morning.
Behrend and Wilhelm (12-1) will once again
have their hands full at the Madison Memorial
subsectional meet on Tuesday.
Madison West, which swept all three doubles
flights at last weeks Big Eight Conference meet,
is expected to earn the top seed. Verona, which
just held off the Panthers earlier this season and
the Spartans, also expect to be tough at 3 doubles.
With both of us being lefties especially, it took
us some time to get everything to click, Behrend
said. If we play as well as we did in the champi-
onship match today, we should be alright.
Despite finished tied for third with Monroe (21
points) at conference, the Panthers retained sec-
ond place overall in the Badger South, finishing
with 8 points in the final standings. Edgewood,
which finished second overall at conference
behind Waunakee, 44-41, earns its fifth straight
conference title with 12 points in the final stand-
ings.
We didnt have our best tournament, but we
hung on to an overall second place in the Badger
South, OHS head coach Ben Conklin said. This
was largely in part to 3 doubles winning the con-
ference championship. They saved their best for
last.
Junior Alec Onesti played to his third seed
at No. 2 singles, defeating sixth-seeded Willy
Lemke of Fort Atkinson 6-0, 6-2 before drop-
ping a 6-2, 7-5 decision to second-seeded Billy
OBrien of Madison Edgewood. Onesti closed
out his tournament with a 6-2, 6-3 victory over
Monroe Groves Kevin Noriega in the third-place
match.
Panther junior No. 3 singles player Dakota
Tollakson was unable to bounce back to take
third place, dropping his first set 6-2 against Matt
Monahan of Monroe before a pulled calf muscle
forced him to retire with the match tied at 3-all in

Torhorst, ODonnell rise up at conference
AnthOny IOzzO
Assistant sports editor
Sophomore Carson Torhorst and
freshman Grant ODonnell may not
have a lot of postseason experience, but
it didnt show Wednesday in the Bad-
ger South Conference Golf meet at the
House on the Rock Golf Resort.
Torhorst (75), playing in his second
conference meet, and ODonnell (77),
making his tournament debut, finished
third and fourth overall, respectively.
That play, which helped Oregon
finish fourth overall in the meet with
a 337, coupled with the conference
dual season also earned both golfers a
spot on the All-Badger South Confer-
ence list. Torhorst was No. 6, while
ODonnell was No. 7.
For Torhorst, he said it meant a lot to
medal with Stoughtons Henry Klong-
land (76) and Madison Edgewoods
Johnny Decker (73).
I have gotten better as conference
has gone on. It showed today, Torhorst
said. I shot a 32 before this and then
came out today and shot a 35 and a 40.
It is just getting better as the year is
going on, and hopefully, it means some
good things in the progression of the
year.
Torhorst said he kept his composure
on the course, which features trees,
water and swirling winds, by staying
aggressive.
Whenever I did have a bad hole, I
just knew that there were a lot of bird-
ies out there, and whenever I needed to
make a birdie I knew that I could, he
said. I just didnt quite make as many
birdies as I would have liked on the
back.
That same aggressive approach was
what ODonnell used in his first confer-
ence meet.
Our team wasnt going to win it,
so I figured that I should just go out
there and shoot the best that I could,
ODonnell said. I knew that if I got
down on one hole, I could make it back
on the next couple.
Austin Busler and sophomore Collin
Bundy finished Oregons scoring with a
92 and a 93, respectively.
Madison Edgewood won the meet
with a 327, while Stoughton took sec-
ond (331).
Edgewood and Stoughton both fin-
ished with 10 1/2 points in the Badger
South to share the conference title.
Regionals
ODonnell said he felt no pressure
at the conference meet because no one
expects anything from a freshman.
He took the same approach Tuesday
at Pleasant View Golf Course for the
WIAA Division 1 Middleton regional,
and it paid off with a sectional berth.
ODonnell shot a 78, finishing sec-
ond among individual qualifiers, to
advance to play at 9 a.m. Tuesday, May
28, at River Run Golf Course.
I am honored to be representing
Oregon, ODonnell said. It should be

day.

Mathews, advanced in

Josh has been hurt for

it was really nice having
him back, Turner said.
We didnt have a lot of
time to practice together
between conference and
tonight, but handoffs
were right about where
they had been.
Sromvosky also con-
tinued in the pit, stretch-
ing the long jump tape to

said.
Fellow junior Jamie

up the competition in the

championship in 1:01.92
Jones and Wood also
led a quarter of Oregon
High School girls that
i ncl uded sophomor e

the second set.
Oregons top singles player, junior Jack-
son Schneider, was unable to reach Satur-
day, dropping a 6-4, 5-7, 6-2 decision to
Patrick McKenna. Schneider, the fourth
seed at conference, had gotten the better
of the fifth-seeded McKenna the previous
week.
Third-seeded freshman Drew Christof-
ferson fell 0-6, 6-1, 6-4 to sixth-seeded
Gabe Rowley of Stoughton in his first
match at 4 singles.
Oregon was forced to make a last min-
ute substation at No. 1 doubles as Dan
Griffith stepped in to play with Brian
Johnson, falling 6-3, 6-0 against Madison
Edgewood.
Dan did an awesome job its tough
for him to be the 11th man, Conklin said.
Im seeing signs that hell have a starting
role next year.
The Panthers No. 2 doubles team also
bowed out in the first round as Alexander
Nasserjah and Adam Bessemer went down
6-0, 7-5 to Sauk Prairie.
Madison Memorial subsectional
Oregon was back at Nielsen Tennis
Stadium on Tuesday for the WIAA Mad-
ison Memorial subsectional meet where
Schneider and Onesti each advanced
through to sectionals.
Schneider improved to 13-5 at No. 1
singles, while Onesti upped his record to
16-5 at 2 singles.
The Panthers failed to get any of their
three doubles flights through to section-
als.
Oregon travels to Badger High School

Oregons Juan Cardenas and Payton Raeck tackle a Kettle Moraine High School rugby player Mon-
day with teammates Nick Miller and JJ Rogers in support.
Rugby club battles to earn two victories
The Oregon High School rugby club
defeated St. Anthonys in Milwaukee on
May 8 by a score of 42-12. Team co-cap-
tain J.J. Rogers scored the first try with a
short break around the outside.
The next try was scored by Juan Carde-
nas who jumped on the ball after a hard
tackle by Rogers against their winger. Pey-
ton Raeck scored twice more before half
with Juan Cardenas making three of four
conversions. Giving the OHS Ruggers a
26-5 lead at half.
The second half was dominated by the
running of team co-captain Mat Sampson
who went on to score four trys, giving
Oregon it first win of the season.
The ruby club won a hard match against
Elkhorns B Side 3-0 on Monday. The
match was a very physical one, with Ore-
gon having their backs to the try line many
times. With 15 seconds before halftime
Juan Cardenas scored a penalty kick at the
25-meter line.
Oregon went on to hold Elkhorn out of
the try line securing its win.
The OHS rugby club is 2-3 this season
with its last game at home against Wauke-
sha West on Wednesday, May 22. Game
time is 5 p.m. at the Oregon Middle School
football field.

fun.
With high winds, the course definite-
ly wasnt easy, especially the back nine,
which was the Lake 9 course.
But ODonnell fought through with a 37.
I just tried to keep the ball back in my
stance to keep it low and out of the wind,
he said. I was really worried about losing
my hat, though, because it was blowing
pretty bad. It definitely helped not having
a lot of pressure. It feels good to make it
through as a freshman.
Torhorst, who also had high hopes of
moving on, didnt have the same luck on
the final nine holes.

Panthers see season end at Waterford
Jeremy JOnes
Sports editor
Oregon was a decided
underdog as the 14th seed
t ravel i ng t o Wat erford
Tuesday for the first round
of t he WIAA regi onal
against the third-seeded
Wolverines.
Unable to string together
hits and find the gaps for
most of the season, the Pan-
thers offense struggle con-
tinued once again in a 10-0,
five inning loss.
Waterford, which jumped
out to a five-run lead in the
first, improved to 15-4 on
the year with the win, while
Oregon finished its season
1-15.
It was the final game
for seniors Hailey Morey,
Alyssa Damon, Sara Wend-
landt and Lexi Nelson, who
was injured for the entire
season.
Head coach Mike Der-
rick said in his 18 years at
Oregon he cant remem-
ber a stranger season with
weather, injuries and a
squirrel with babies that
forced visiting Stoughton to
sit outside the dugout.
All of the girls showed
a lot of character to keep
fighting all season, he
said.I couldnt be more
proud of them all.
MG 5, Oregon 1
The Panthers pounded out
sevens hits in a 5-1 loss last
Thursday at home against
Badger South Conference
rival Monona Grove.
Morey went the distance
striking out four, while
allowing four earned runs
on seven hits. Morey helped
her cause, going 3-for-4 at
the plate, while Mackenzie
Kressin (2-for-3) also col-
lected two hits.
Kelsey Stinson struck out
14 for the Silver Eagles.

Kenneth Sampson
Ken Sampson passed
away on Sunday, May 19,
2013, from complications
associated with Alzheim-
ers disease.
He is preceded in death
by his parents, Raymond
and Iva Sampson. He is
survived by his beloved
wife, Judy; as well as chil-
dren, Mike (Missy), Dan
(Melanie) and Jenny Schi-
avo (Jim). He is sorely
missed by his six grand-
children, Max, Jacob, Matt,
Maggie, Nicole and Saskia;
sister-in-law, Sandra Moore
(John); cousin, Molly; and
numerous friends.
Ken grew up in Morenci,
Mich., the only child of
Raymond and Iva. He put
himself through Hillsdale
Col l ege and Mi chi gan
State University, graduat-
ing with a degree in Dairy
Science. He married Judy
Lockage soon after gradua-
tion, and they started their
life together in Moorhead,
Mi nn. They event ual l y
found their way to Green
Bay, where they raised their
children, with a brief inter-
lude in Utah.
Ken worked his whole
career in the cheese indus-
try, working his way up to
vice president of numerous
cheese companies in Wis-
consin. He sat on the Board
of Directors of the United
Way of both, Green Bay
and Monroe. Prior to and
after retirement, Ken also
helped Judy out with her
Christmas store businesses.
His passions in life includ-
ed the Green Bay Packers
and downhill skiing, as well
as playing with his grand-
children and watching them
grow.
He often mentioned that
it was a good thing that he
met Judy before he learned
to ski; otherwise he would
have lived the life of a ski
bum. Heaven is one long
powder run, Papa Ken, and
the lift never shuts down.
Funeral services will be
held at Gunderson Oregon

St., Oregon, at 11:30 a.m.

Obituaries
estimates for repairs. And
there will be a general
report on the entire sys-
tem.
To get a comprehen-
si ve underst andi ng of
the villages water sys-
tem and needs, engineers
would look at pumping
records for the last five or
six years and determine
future pumping projec-
tions, Below said.
Theyll also look at
the wells and the status of
the water levels in them
how theyve increased or
dropped over the years,
he said.
Below said there are
many four-i nch wat er
mains in use, which are
substandard by todays
standards. The evalua-
tion would locate those
mains and likely recom-
mend upgrading them to
eight inches, he said.
The engi neers wi l l
look at that and also at fire
flows, pressures, improve-
ments we should make
with water lines stuff
like that, he said.
Below has wanted to
hire a firm to evaluate and
update the water system
master plan for the past
few years. He had intend-
ed to have the work done
last summer, but with the
severe drought, he didnt
think it would be a good
t i me t o undert ake t he
project.
St at i c wat er l evel s
dropped five or six feet
last summer due to the
lack of rain recharging the
water table, Below said.
With the drought we
had last year, the static
wat er l evel s (of aqui-
fers beneath the village)
were dropping, he told
the Observer. Then I
thought, wed better get
this done sooner rather
than later.
The village has three
active wells. The study
Below plans to have done
will give a projection of
when the village would
need to drill a new well.
Officials have already
located a site on the vil-
lages west side for that
well. Village administra-
tor Mike Gracz told the
Public Works committee
the village has been col-
lecting impact fees from
developers to pay for a
new well.
But its hard to know
how soon the well will be
needed.
Thats determined by
population projections
and which way the village
is going to develop in the
future, as well as future
water demand, Below
said. There are lots of
factors that determine
that.
He recommended hir-
ing the engineering firm
Ruekert & Mielke Inc. to
conduct the study because
its engineers have worked
on village water matters in
the past and have records
on file.
This study is going to
tell us if we need to take
a well out of service or
drill it another 100 feet to
keep us out of potential
trouble, Below said at
the January public works
meeting.
