Call it Paul Bunyan diplomacy. Though the leaders of their two countries are not seeing eye to eye, when it comes to folklore, it turns out Russians and Americans are not too different from one another. Thats what Oregon High School globetrotting teacher Lou Kindschi discovered during a recent cultural exchange trip to Russia. The Russian-Ukranian border certainly has the worlds attention these days an unpredictable hot spot in a post-Cold War Eastern Europe beginning to heat up. Kindschi was stationed about five miles from the border, so as the conflict in nearby Crimea raged, she was meeting in schools and small homes, talking to residents about their history and sharing folk stories. The program was offered by an organization called American Friends of Russian Folklore, a group dedicated to promoting American understanding of Russian folklore and traditional Russian life and culture. The groups mission is to travel across the country, documenting and archiving local folklore to preserve it before its lost forever. Russia is so vast and has so many kinds of cultures, she said. The group recently received a grant from the U.S. State Department to send U.S. teachers along to help record the local history and exchange information about American folklore. The offer was wellreceived. The Russian Embassy thought it was a good idea, because we could share our stories of folklore to these rural areas, and we would speak at local schools, Kindschi said. Its so rich with opportunities to really see rural Russia. It also gave the Russian scholars an opportunity to talk with children in those areas, and tell them, Youre sitting on a treasure here when your

In its last meeting before three new members are sworn in April 28, the Oregon School Board couldnt muster the votes needed to pass two resolutions on providing supplemental pay - partly because three outgoing members declined to vote. The additional income would be directed to several district teachers that board members fear could be hired away by other school districts, possibly in the coming weeks.

The board met for about 45 minutes in closed session Monday night before returning to vote on a motion by Dan Krause to direct district superintendent Brian Busler to open discussions with the Oregon Education Association regarding supplemental pay, which would allow the district to pay specific teachers more than usual. Rae Vogeler seconded the motion, but with outgoing members Courtney Odorico, Lee Christensen and Wayne Mixdorf abstaining

OSD: Supplemental pay issue put off

Continued from page 1 and Jeff Ramin and Steve Zach voting against, the 2-2 vote resulted in a failed motion. Krause said the time may have come for the idea of giving supplemental pay for certain teachers, but said it should not be done without first reaching out to the teachers union and getting some feedback. Weve always taken the market into consideration, but in this case, were taking certain teachers in a certain area and saying the market affects them in a way it doesnt affect other teachers, and therefore regardless of seniority or anything else, were going to give them more pay because the market will take them away if we dont, he said. I want to talk to the unions to let them know what were thinking and we value their input. Krause said he asked the board to move quickly on the matter and possibly meet again later in the week for further discussion or action because we may lose our top candidates for an open position. Vogeler said the move would be a very significant change from the way the board has done business in the past, necessitating talking things over with district employees first. It would possibly set up a two-tier scale and cause some disruption and a little bit of angst among the employees Why are some people getting this very significant raise while other people are not? she said. To head that off, its important we engage the employees in this conversation. Vogeler said with three new board members joining in two weeks, final decisions on the matter should wait until then. Any kind of decision like this should be taken in terms of the big picture, she said. Zach opposed the motion,

School libraries receive state funding

According to a press release last week from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, the Oregon School District will receive $108,781 from the states Common School Fund. The amount is based on the number of children ages 4-20 living in public school districts across the state. The Common School Fund was established by the Wisconsin Constitution as a permanent trust fund. The district must use the funds by June 30 to purchase books, digital saying he wanted to take immediate action on the pay increases because of pending recruitment, thats critical to take action on supplemental pay so as to be able to extend an offer. After Krauses motion failed, Zach offered a new motion to offer the resources and technology housed in school libraries. State Superintendent Tony Evers said the funds are integral in helping students develop collegeand career-ready skills needed for their future. The allocations from the Common School Fund are the main and sometimes only funding available to purchase the school library resources digital and print that are accessible to students in our schools, he said.

Local couple buying another historic building

No major changes planned yet

Jerry and Bonnie Thiel have a May 30 closing scheduled for the property at 101 S. Main St., the home of two businesses, DeBrouxs Diner and Academy of Sound.

A new state law could help the Town of Dunn with new development projects. Gov. Scott Walker signed Senate Bill 338 earlier this month, which allows large, urbanized towns to create tax increment financing (TIF) districts as a way to encourage development. TIF is a development tool in which tax increments above a certain base value are placed in a special fund and used to pay for improvements inside the TIF district. Cities and villages have been able to create TIF districts for many years for revitalizing blighted areas, attracting lucrative industries and more recently to mix developments in ways that might not be possible otherwise. But critics say its too often used for projects that dont need the help. The law requires the town to have a population of at least 3,500 people

and equalized values of at least $500 million. The Town of Dunn meets both criteria, but town officials said they have no specific plans to use TIF in the near future. Town chair Ed Minihan said the town would likely look at TIF on a caseby-case basis for development projects. We are exploring how we might be able to use that concept creatively, Minihan told the Hub. Town land use manager Erica Schmitz said she was reviewing the details of the law and that the Town Board has yet to discuss the new law. She noted that the town doesnt have much development outside of singlefamily residential homes, but that other future projects might be eligible for TIF. The town didnt have any role in drafting the law, Minihan said. The bill was drafted by Sen. Jerry Petrowski (R-Marathon) and Rep. Ed Brooks (R-Reedsburg).

The couple that bought and renovated the two b uildings that are now Masons on Main restaurant and bar on South Main Street confirmed Tuesday that they have an accepted offer to buy another historic building on the same block in downtown Oregon. Jerry and Bonnie Thiel have a May 30 closing scheduled for the property at 101 S. Main St., the home of two businesses, DeBrouxs Diner and Academy of Sound. Jerry Thiel told the Observer buying the building is just a long-term investment and he doesnt foresee any significant change of use for it. Were hoping that Greg (DeBroux, owner of the diner) is going to elect to stay with us and that the downtown only gets better, and that he can prosper along there with everybody else, Thiel said. I think theres enough business to go around for everybody. Were buying the building hopefully to enhance his business going forward. The building was listed for sale at $495,000, and was assessed last year at $393,100. Thiel said he believes the building was constructed in about 1898, the same year that the Netherwood Building in the 100 block of Janesville Street was reconstructed

after it burned down, and the former Masonic Lodge was built on South Main Street. That building is now one half of Masons on Main. Thiel said the only change planned for the 101 S. Main St. building is replacing a door that current owner Jeff Aebly had installed more than two years ago. It has been the subject of numerous discussions and potential legal action by the village because its in violation of the South Main Street Historic District Ordinance. We dont want to change anything except that door, Thiel said. Were hoping the village will give us a little time after we purchase it to put in a historically correct

door. Thiel said a rumor that he and his wife were considering opening a brew pub in the building is not accurate. It is a possibility, but I dont believe that is going to be the venue or the building for it, he said. He noted the building theyre buying is in relatively good shape. We hope to straighten out a few things and make it last another 100 years or so, Thiel said. Academy of Sound music studio occupies most of the buildings second floor, along with a two-bedroom apartment. Thiel also confirmed that he and his wife had made

Letters to the editor

Thank you to outgoing school board

As the new school board members accept their new positions, I congratulate them for stepping up to a volunteer position with a lot of time out of their personal lives in an attempt to improve the Oregon school system. That said, I would also extend a sincere thank you to Wayne, Courtney and Lee for their many hours, and years, spent on our behalf. A thankless job well served in my book. As the new board members take their place, I am hoping that they see beyond the base platform on which they ran. Making nice with the teachers seems great, but I question whether it was even an issue. The just cause banner seems overrated. Were any teachers dismissed because they wore the wrong shirt? Were any teachers dismissed because they own the wrong car? Of course not. Regardless of just cause language, the present board had no interest in dismissing teachers dedicated to their position, and dedicated to educating our children. I am hoping the incoming board decides that debating ridiculous issues like whether to move the tables off the stage is an utter waste of board time. I am hoping that the incoming board recognizes that any referendum proposed should include non-academic improvements to the infrastructure. Athletics is an integral part of high school life, so improvements to athletic fields, the field house, etc., should be included in any proposal. I am hoping the incoming board recognizes that the current procurement system is totally broken. Introducing bidding processes, mandates on when requests for proposals are needed, and oversight on awarding of contracts would align the Oregon School District with what corporate America does every day. If and when referendums are passed, this will be key to effective cost control for awarded contracts. Without overhaul of the lax purchasing mechanisms currently in place, I would urge a no vote to any referendum proposal. Best of luck to the incoming board. Steve Johnston Village of Oregon

long from the energy acquired during meditation at these times. In meditation, we simply close the eyes, breathe deeply to quiet the mind and open up to the creative or abstract area of our consciousness. Like a radar dish, we turn our awareness to that area known as the no thinking zone, ready to receive impressions from our divine nature. Connecting for just 15 minutes a day can make a difference in our overall well-being. Like most people, my experiences with meditation have always lacked a WOW factor. No bright lights, no angels or other super cool experiences. Just me sitting quietly, waiting for something that never seems to show itself. I guess one could say that I meditate on pure faith that something good is happening. Having over two decades of meditation experiences, I totally understand why people are resistant or too busy to devote any time to it. While there is an immediate benefit of relaxation, meditation is mostly an abstract experience. Since our divine nature is formless energy, we cant really tell when weve connected to it. When this abstract energy does filter down into our consciousness awareness, it can show up as a feeling or desire to make a positive change in our life. Or perhaps we come to a deeper understanding about a troublesome situation or relationship in our life. These experiences are

subtle and seem like they come from within us, so we fail to connect these happenings with our meditations. The benefits of meditation are far-reaching, but they are subtle and hard to define. Its challenging for the mind to see its usefulness when we are trained to value only physical effects or material things. It takes faith that there is something more to it than meets the eye. Its up to each of us as an individual to begin to see life and live life as a co-creator of our divinity. Meditation could be our best connection. Through meditation, I have found clarity in the midst of upheaval and confusion. It is a tool I use to help me navigate lifes challenges and let go of worry and anxiety. I use meditation for contemplation, as a time of reflection, and an inner connection to that quiet stillness that recharges my batteries. I often fall asleep, too, but thats OK. Even if you are not completely sold on the practice of meditation, I would suggest trying it during the upcoming full moon cycles in April, May and June. Its simple, it doesnt take long, and we can load up for the whole year. The benefits of meditation are never lost; no matter how much or how little, it all adds up.

Persuasion
Aristotle claimed that there were three basic ways we can persuade others: logic, emotion and character. Often we want to know the reason why we should do something. A physician who explains how a medicine will benefit her patient is appealing to logic. And when she tells him the terrible consequences which are likely to result if he doesnt treat his condition, she is appealing to emotion, in this case, fear. And by convincing her patient that she really is a kind and compassionate physician who has her patients best interest in mind she is appealing to character. We are all more likely to listen to someone who we believe to be a genuinely good person. A fourth means of persuasion that can be effective, and which must be combined with character or moral persuasion, is the rule of seven touches. Sales and marketing folks know that they are more likely to make a sale after repeated contacts, and the rule of seven touches says to not give up on a potential sale until after youve had seven contacts. Familiarity, while admittedly sometimes breeding contempt, can also breed trust, at least when we are becoming familiar with someone who is friendly and seems genuinely interested in us. So if you want to persuade someone, combine your logical, emotional and moral arguments with a genuine interest in the other person, and make frequent contact with them. Christopher Simon via Metro News Service With patience a ruler may be persuaded, and a soft tongue will break a bone. Proverbs 25:15

Zing-A-Ding enters 20th year in business

Oregon couple runs paint-free dent repair company from home

Now that the snow and ice has mostly melted from your car, its a good time to look for dings from a runaway-shopping cart that might have hit your vehicle this winter. Thats where Zing-ADing, Inc.- an instant paintfree dent repair company could come in handy. Zing-A-Ding is owned by Oregon couple Jane and Matt Rolfsmeyer, who have been serving Dane Countys dented cars for the past 20 years. Our specialty is removing small dings and dents from vehicles using the process of paintless dent removal (PDR) without using fillers or repainting, Jane told the Observer in a news release. The process takes about an hour and can be done at the customers home or business. They also have shop space in Middleton where customers can bring their vehicle for repair, but the bulk of their business is done as on-site work at local car dealerships. The PDR process works by slowly massaging the dent from the back of the panel with specialized tools, according to a national trade organization for PDR a group that Zing-A-Ding is a member of. The dent is removed while the paint is still in tact, rather than scraping away the paint to repair the dent and then repainting. When we perform this service, our customers are amazed at how fast and

Matt has competed in international dent repair competitions in order to keep his skills sharp and learn new techniques. Matt has placed in the top ten three times in the last decade at the Dent Olympics in Florida, Jane said. The business is run out of their Oregon home with Jane taking care of the billing and office work while Matt runs the repair work. The pair started their own business after working for an auto glass repair company in Madison. The company had created the dent repair division

Zing-A-Ding owner Matt Rolfsmeyer works to repair a dent in a car as part of the paint-free dent removal business. The company uses special equipment and techniques to remove dents without having to repaint parts of the car. Rolfsmeyer and his wife Patty have owned the Oregon-based company for 20 years.

only to shut it down after a few months. Matt had learned the trade had Jane and helped create the marketing materials, so they decided to buy the division and create their own company. They took out a loan and bought the equipment they

needed. Theyve had a few employees come and go in their 20 years, and have toyed with the idea of franchising the company, Jane said. But after years of hard work, we decided to keep things simple, she said.

Two-and-a-half months is a long time to keep a big secret. Thats something Academy of Sound executive director and founder Erin Peterson learned between Dec. 21, when InBusiness Magazine emailed her to inform her she was on its 2014 40 Under 40 list, and March 1, when she was t e c h n i c a l l y Peterson allowed to share the big news. I was so excited, Peterson, 32, said. I wanted to tell my family and stuff, but I knew my family would be too proud to keep it to themselves. Instead, she told one close friend who she knew could keep a secret. Otherwise, it was between her and the magazine. The list comprises 40 rising young business stars in the Madison area and celebrates that youth at least in their case is not wasted on the young. The magazine wrote that Peterson embodies community investment through her involvement in the Oregon Chamber of Commerce, the Oregon Historic Preservation Commission and the Wisconsin Music Educators Association. It also mentions the nonprofit she co-founded, Historic Community Renewal, Inc., which focuses on acquiring and preserving historic properties. The list went outside of the candidates business

experience, also taking into account hobbies and outside activities. For Peterson, that includes salsa dancing, world traveling and hiking. In February, Peterson took part in a video shoot and sent in photos for the magazine to use, a process she said was so much fun. The video asked those on the list three questions. Petersons answers to two of them illustrate how she feels about her business and where she hopes to take it. In choosing who she would have dinner with if anyone in the world, dead or alive, were an option, Peterson chose Walt Disney because he took his dream and turned it into a reality thats still going on after his death and still continuing to grow. I would love to do the same thing with the Academy, Peterson told the Observer. The second question asked what she would tell her 21-year-old self that she knows now. Peterson said that was tough because 21 was the age she started Academy of Sound. I can look back and mostly I wouldnt change anything that I did, she said. I wish that I couldve told myself which activities would actually help the business grow and which would be a waste of time. Nothing that Ive done is entirely a waste of time. Overall, she said it was an exciting experience that rewarded the hard work shes put in throughout her career. Its hard to put (the feeling) into words, Peterson said. It was sort of like everything that Ive been working toward over the last 10 or 11 years in my business, its like everything came full circle. All in this one point in time, its really hard to explain.

Country View earns honor from state department

Country View Veterinary Clinic was named one of eight Business Friends of Education in Wisconsin by state superintendent Tony Evers this month. The awards recognize businesses that help students graduate well prepared for college and career. The collaborative partnerships fostered between industry and education play a key role in preparing Wisconsin students for the future, Evers said in a news release. These supportive relationships make a difference in students lives and strengthen our communities for years to come. Amy Robinson of Country View Veterinary Clinic has lent her expertise as a veterinarian to improve the educational experiences of Oregon High School students and its career and technical education program. In just the past four years, Robinson has worked with 14 agriculture youth apprenticeship students, providing handson experience and skills to help them pursue their interests in veterinary or animal fields. In addition, Robinson volunteers her time as a member of the local agriculture advisory committee and works with instructors to create pet care/veterinary science and horse and animal science curricula that are engaging and relevant for students. The 2014 Business Friends of Education awards were presented April 11 during the annual Wisconsin Association for Career and Technical Education Professional Development Conference in Middleton. The honorees also participated in a panel discussion to share their experiences integrating academic knowledge, technical and career education and workplace learning skills.

Russia: Teacher got a close-up look at Ukraine crisis while studying Russian culture
Continued from page 1 was heading into the village of Bryansk Oblast to do a school presentation when she noticed Russian special forces units in a van with a big satellite dish facing a large valley. As they drove by, people in their group asked what was going on. The driver said, Russia has invaded Ukraine, she said. I said, What? Kindschi said most people in the area were not real happy about Russias actions, saying Russia had a stronger military and was forcing itself on Ukraine. At the same time, others said that historically Crimea (the region Russia forcibly annexed) was more related to Russia than Ukraine. Tensions were not necessarily high, but there was certainly an added level of concern about Kindschi and the other American teacher who accompanied her. For the next three days, U.S. Embassy personnel checked on their well-being. They were (initially) there to see if their money was being well-spent; if it was a project we should continue to encourage, Kindschi said. But we were in a pretty rural areas, so it was also could we tolerate

One of the traditional celebrations she encountered was Maslenitsa, a weeklong festival similar to Mardi Gras, which she said has over time taken on both the trappings of pagan and older Christian celebrations. It was a pagan ritual which celebrated the end of a long winter and hopefully a rich spring and eventually a rich harvest, Kindschi said. They have a Lady Maslenitsa doll which they burn at the end of the week and they sing songs, then they bury her ashes, which is supposed to help bring rich crops. When Christianity emerged in the region, residents adapted the ritual into a pre-Lenten celebration, where people consumed lots of pancakes, butter, and other rich foods every day of

a small rural area. Not surprisingly, they wanted to know lots of things about America and Americans. They asked lots of questions about our schools and students how do they get to school, what do they study, how much homework do they do, she said. They were also curious about what the two cultures had in common, and to their great surprise, they found it in the larger-than-life Wisconsin folk hero Paul Bunyan and his trusty blue ox, Babe. Living in an area of Russia covered by thick woods, the lumber business and the clearing of land for farming as with the early pioneer days of Wisconsin is critically important. But the similarities didnt end there. There are a lot of similar challenges with the weather and cold, and having to work with animals, Kindschi said. They noticed that like Paul Bunyan, they eat a lot of pancakes, too (during Maslenitsa), and they were fascinated by the tale, and the common attributes of our folk tales.

In a very rural area, Kindschi saw the many differences between the lives of the Russians and her neighbors back in Oregon but she also sometimes surprisingly saw many similarities. She lived in the home of an older woman, or babushka, in an extremely small village with a fellow American teacher and two female translators. The roads had no vehicle traffic people either walked where they were going or rode horses or carts. They still plow fields using horses, and in that village, they use sleighs to transport hay for horses theres no seats, just straw stacked up, Kindschi said. The same kinds of sleighs theyve been using for hundreds of years. It was really amazing. Every morning, the teachers got a taste of warm milk, fresh from the cow, as well as plenty of Russian staples like cabbage, onions and potatoes. We ate very well, Kindschi said. The teachers gave frequent presentations at two schools that focused heavily on English skills, something she wasnt expecting in such

In the evenings, the groups would meet at various womens houses, where they would talk, record folk songs and enjoy the local hospitality. One woman even gave her a weaving made by her mother a one-of-a-kind gift that overwhelmed Kindschi. It was her first time in Russia, and even for someone with her lengthy experience traveling around the world, the kindness and generosity of the people took her aback. This one woman told me, This has been the best day of my life, Kindschi said. She said, I never knew what to think about Americans, and now I meet you and you are simple folks, just like we are. Were real people and that really impressed them. She also gained a higher degree of respect and understanding for the teaching profession. Teachers have so much in common, because we love our students and we want to invest in their future, so its hard not to care about someone else who also loves kids just like you do, Kindschi said. We werent there as politicians or bureaucrats we experienced the same joys of connecting with students. It doesnt matter where you are; we are the same. We work hard because we want whats good for kids, and that was really wonderful. When it was finally time to say goodbye, it was difficult for people on both sides. Knowing we were there because we care about kids, it really opened doors for us they were so receptive, she said. We felt really close to a group of people I never expected to meet, and to be accepted into their community, from the little ladies along the road to the man chopping wood every day in front of the house. It was wonderful to be a part of their community.

U13 girls Crush competition

The visiting Portage Warriors were the Panthers latest victim on Tuesday as Oregon cruised to yet another 7-0 victory in the Badger Conference crossover dual. Senior Jackson Schneider and younger brother Calvin rolled 6-0, 6-0 atop the lineup against AJ Sierra and Nathan Hazard, respectively. Brady Behrend and freshman Charles Donovan capped the singles sweep at the No. 3 and 4 spots, winning 6-1, 6-0 and 6-0, 6-1 against Jeffrey Scamar and Sam Clemmons. Oregons top doubles team of Jackson Wilhelm and Alec Onesti took care of business 6-1, 6-1 against Taylor Knochor and Layne Morrin. Meanwhile, Dakota Tollakson and Drew Christofferson knocked off Douglas Anderson and Adrian Smovy 6-0, 6-1. The Panthers No. 3 doubles team of Matt Reisdorf and Spencer Krebsbach finished out the evening with a quick 6-0, 6-0 victory. Oregon heads north to Reedsburg for a 4:30 p.m. dual against the Beavers before traveling to Fort Atkinson on Tuesday, April 22, to open the Badger Conference season. Fort Atkinson, next week, will have a couple of really tough players, Panthers Ben Conklin said. Jackson Schneider has yet to beat the Blackhawks No. 1 singles player Andrew Dahl.

Tennis: Oregon buries Portage at home for another sweep

Continued from page 9 Memorial Quad on Saturday. It was good to get three convincing wins, though they were a lot closer than the scoreboard showed, Conklin said. Oregon beat Winona (Minn.), who Conklin said was a good team, 7-0. The match of the day came from Brady Behrend, who won a third-set super tiebreaker at No. 3 singles 5-7, 6-1, (10-8) against Tim Dimarais. Senior Alec Onesti defeated Cee Jay Schaffner in a close match at No. 2 singles, but stayed steady to outlast his opponent 6-4, 6-3. Conklin said it was the same thing for Jackson Schneider, who beat Ryan Ortega 7-6 (3), 6-3 at No. 1 singles. Oregon swept another team in the second round, blanking the host Spartans, who were without their No. 1 singles player, 7-0. Again the Panthers had to fight through some close matches to earn the victory, however. All three doubles were close against Madison Memorial with Jackson Wilhelm and Onesti taking their No. 1 doubles match 6-3, 6-3. Dakota Tollakson and Drew Christofferson followed that up with a 6-2, 6-3 win at 2 doubles, while Nate Ironmonger and Michael Hall held on 7-5, 6-2 at 3 doubles. Behrend stepped up and won a close match at No. 2 singles, 6-3, 7-5. Brady had a great day overall, Conklin said. Ironmonger also stepped

Led by captains John Peterson and Ryan Hale, the Oregon Rugby Club split matches with the Parkway Patriots and St Anthonys last week. Monday was the season opener and the club travelled to Milwaukee to play the Parkway Patriots. Oregon started nine rookie players against an experienced team. After a couple rookie/first-game mistakes, the club found itself behind by four tries but started to settle into the match. The second half play was better controlled, which transpired into a couple well-earned tries. The first try was set up nicely, beginning with a 20-meter rumble by John Peterson, stopped 5 meters short. Ryan Barry picked up a ruck ball and pitches a perfect crash ball 5 meters out to Matt Sampson (Oregon), who drove between defenders to score. Minutes later Will Zeichert (Stoughton) scored from 5 meters out, off of a penalty play. JJ Rogers made both the conversions, but Oregon still lost the match 46-14. Oregons Second Fifteen lost 25-7 the only try coming from a nice run by Amond Galtney (Stoughton) from 20 meters out. Ryan Barry on the conversion. Oregon fared better Friday Night defeating St Anthonys, 60-0. Rogers scored four tries, tying the club record of Most Tries in a Single Game with Matt Sampson. Ryan Hale and Sampson both scored a pair of tries. Payton Raeck and Troy Zahn scored a try each. The Second Fifteen won 19-10 against the Middleton B Side. Barry scored twice and Amond Galtney scored once. The Oregon Rugby Club is in second place in the Badgerland D2 Conference with 5 Super League Points (SLP).

The Library Board and Womans Club held a reception at the public library hall. On a cold blustery January evening the hall was filled to capacity to hear a lecture by the Hon. A. H. Sholts entitled Lights from American Literature. Following the lecture a lunch was served during which Donald McGill provided Victrola music. (A Victrola was one of the first phonograph machines that became very popular at this time that played music from discs.) The Oregon Business Mens Club protested to the Village Board against the granting of a electric light franchise to any company composed of non-residents and went on to recommend that if any franchise be granted it be to residents and property owners of the Village. An electric company from Evansville had recently been in the area taking a survey of the residents concerning electrical service. R. Pease appeared before the board recommending the establishment of a local electric company. A fire broke out just prior to the foreclosure sale of J. F. Genins blacksmith shop. However, the fire was gotten under control before much damage was done and the sale went on as scheduled. The property was sold by the sheriff to the mortgagee, Nettie Horton, for $750.00. Local butter maker, A. C. Hillstad, received one of the highest scores for his butter (91.66) at the annual meeting of the Wisconsin Buttermakers Association held in Madison.

EPA Begins Review of City Disposal Corp. Landfill Dunn, Wisconsin

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is conducting a fiveyear review of the City Disposal Corp. Landfill Superfund site on Sand Hill Road in rural Dane County about 7 miles south of Madison. The Superfund law requires regular checkups of sites that have been cleaned up with waste managed on-site to make sure that the cleanup continues to protect people and the environment. This is the fourth five-year review of this site. EPAs cleanup of tetrahydrofuran contamination at the abandoned landfill consisted of capping, fencing, controlling landfill gas, pumping and treating contaminated groundwater, implementing site controls, and monitoring. More information is available at the Dunn Town Hall, 4156 County Trunk Highway B, McFarland; and at www.epa.gov/region5/sites/city. The review should be completed by February 2015. The five-year-review report is an opportunity for you to tell EPA about site conditions and any concerns you have.

Brazil: Program designed to help understand global perspective of agriculture

Continued from page 1 funded in part by Farm Credit Service and Monsanto. She was one of only 10 people from around the nation selected by American Farm Bureau to attend. Im excited they gave me this chance to get this message back to my kids, she said. Its going to help me be a better leader. The program is designed to provide some understanding how the United States fits into a global perspective, Beaty said. The sheer number of potential future population 36 years from now gives an idea of how quickly the world is growing. How do we feed 9 billion people and make us strong economically? she said. How are we going to feed the extra 2 billion people in 35 years without destroying our environment? Everyone I talked to (in Brazil) is concerned about it. These are the problems my students are going to have to worry about. The trick, of course, is doing something about it, which is just what the group had in mind when traveling to observe different agricultural practices in action. Weve got to collaborate, Beaty said. Which countries have the best systems to grow things?
One of the differences OHS teacher Jillian Beaty noticed about food during her trip to Brazil is how genetically modified food is labeled by law, unlike in the United States. They mark it with a yellow T, and they have not seen a drop in how much people are consuming, she said.

They are amazing at producing ethanol, Beaty said. Theyre trying to produce quality sugar that competes with our sugar industry, with corn and corn syrup, she said. They are our competitors, and they continue to grow in quality and quantity of products.

That was interesting, she said. They eat a lot of meat they eat a third fewer vegetables than Americans by day four, I was craving lettuce, with all this meat. She said one thing Brazilians and Americans have more in common is their concern for environmental impacts of agriculture. Theyre farmers, Beaty said. Its fascinating a lot of media talk about how Brazil is growing because they are cutting rainforest, but www.kopkesgreenhouse.com thats not really happening (because) here are so many regulations and consequences. Even while keeping its forests intact, Brazils abundance of land makes it a prime candidate for plenty of future growth, she said. South America is such a rising star when it comes to agriculture they still have land to farm, and growth is happening because theyre embracing technology to allow them to improve production, Beaty said.

With a population of more than 184 million to feed, Brazil is as good a place as any to start looking for answers to this generations agricultural solutions. According to National Geographic, it ranks fifth in the world in both population and area, and is seen as a key to a region on the rise. One of the countrys key exports is sugar cane used for a variety of products. Beaty said sugar cane mills number around 400, with harvests used for making either raw sugar or ethanol, depending on the market. And theres plenty of promise in the cane fields that can reach up to 16 feet tall, as when converted,
