With the heat index expected to

eclipse 100 degrees this week, its
safe to say Wisconsin is in the dog
days of summer.
And the Dane County Fair dubbed
its official opener, Wednesday, the
Dog Day of Summer.
The fair runs through Sunday at
the Alliant Energy Center, and that
first afternoon was scheduled to be
filled with various events, such as an
appearance from the Dane County
K-9 unit, agility demonstrations and a
dog-bite prevention class.
The 4-H dog show, however, was
held in advance as one of the pre-fair
events Sunday, July 17. Of nearly 60
youth participants, a few were from

With little discussion

Monday, the Village Board
unanimously rejected a
proposal to build a 99-unit
assisted-living facility on
North Main Street.
The vote upheld a Planning Commission recommendation from the previous Thursday in which
four of seven commissioners sided with what
appeared to be the prevailing sentiment in the
neighborhood just north
of downtown that the
proposed 87,000-squarefoot building would be too

large for the 2.7-acre lot
and cause traffic problems
in the area. The Sanctuary of Oregon had been
proposed as a three-story
low-income facility for
seniors.
On Monday, some of the
same residents who had
spoken against the project
last week addressed trustees. Several said theyre
not opposed to redeveloping the former Peoples
United Methodist Church
site, but the assisted-living facility is not the best
option for the neighborhood.
Those were the words

Art Cart Extra! visits Oregon

The Madison Museum of Contemporary Arts Art Cart Extra! made a stop in Oregon Saturday, July 16 in Triangle Park. The free outdoor art program allows kids
and families to drop by and participate in craft projects, and travels throughout Dane
County during the summer months. After the stop in Oregon, Art Cart Extra! departed
for its next destination, but not before kids made bracelets and necklaces, wrote and
illustrated their own stories and created other trinkets to take home.
With a deadline looming

in about a month, Oregon
School District officials are
putting the pedal to the metal to get things in order for
a fall teacher compensation
referendum.
In a special work session
Monday night, board members and administrators discussed the tight timeline to
get feedback from teachers
and residents on referendum
options and approve a plan
before Aug. 24. Thats the
date when any referendum
language must be approved
by the board to appear on
the Nov. 8 ballot.
The board has been discussing a teacher compensation referendum for several
years, with a goal to recruit
and retain the best possible
educators. After deciding to
not include it with the fall
2014 capital referendums,
they had planned on getting
it on the ballot this November for the presidential election, where a larger turnout
was expected.
Now, that plan is getting
pressed to the last minute,
after board members added
two options to a committee
recommendation earlier this
month. They are hoping to
have enough feedback from
teachers and district residents in time to approve
the ballot measure in time
for the regularly scheduled
board meeting Monday,
Aug. 22.
While details are still
being worked out, a main
difference between the
committees recommendation and the two new options

is the latter two have larger
up-front costs, but subsequent year-to-year costs
would be less.
In order to narrow the
options to a single proposal
to the community, district
administration is looking
for staff feedback. That will
require meetings between
now and the boards next
scheduled meeting, Aug. 8,
leading up to some community focus group meetings
next month.
I would hope we can
come to a consensus as
a board on whatever that
option is, so we can take that
to the community, superintendent Brian Busler told the
board Monday. (District
referendum consultant Joe
Donovan) would really like
us to just take one option to
the community so we dont
create overlapping confusion.
Surveying staff,
community
To make that happen, the
district is setting up four faculty focus group meetings
to start later this month and
run into the first week of
August.
The meetings will be hosted by Busler, district human
resources director/corporate counsel Jina Jonen and
Donovan, who worked with
the district on the 2014 referendums. Donovan strongly recommended the board
get feedback from teachers
despite the time crunch, as
the plan will directly impact
them.
After those sessions, Donovan plans to put together a
report on faculty feedback
for the boards next scheduled meeting, Monday, Aug.
8, Busler said. The board
could then make changes

before some community
focus group meetings next
month, which have yet to be
scheduled.
Donovan will then prepare
a report on the community feedback in time for the
boards Aug. 22 meeting,
where they would like to be
able to make a decision.
Board member Dan
Krause said he would feel
comfortable making decision after the board gets
feedback from the community during focus groups
next month.
I would support setting
up some community meetings now and get the word
out and see if we can get
people interested in coming, he said.
But he didnt want to
muddy the waters by
bringing three plans to the
community, however.
Busler said by the boards
Aug. 8 meeting, it will be
clear which option faculty
think is best. He hopes the
community focus group will
be ready before the boards
Aug 22 meeting, but knows
the clock is ticking.
We really have nine days
after the 8th to get ready for
the 22nd, he said. (Donovan) is trying to get to the
board meeting on the 22nd to
help answer any questions.
Board president Steve
Zach suggested holding
a special board session in
between the Aug. 8 and
Aug. 22 meetings to discuss
the referendum.
Time is tight on this, he
said. That would give us
an opportunity to ask questions without having it as an
action item, necessarily.

Village of Oregon
Truck repair shop gets permit

Academy of Sound plans to
rent space in new building
In brief
BILL LIVICK
On Monday, the board amended the villages future land use map to
reflect changes on the ground, said planner Jackie Mich. Mich said
changes to the villages comprehensive plan, which contains the land use
map, were initiated to accommodate Brad Willes desire to have Academy of Sound in his new building in the Alpine Business Park.
Then we looked for other places in the plan that needed amending,
Mich said. Changes were made to three areas in the Oregon Parks Neighborhood and also the southeast side of the village to allow for single family development.
T h e Vi l l a g e B o a r d M o n d a y
approved plans for businessman Brad
Wille to build a 10,000-square-foot
truck repair business in the Alpine
Business Park.
The board also approved a zoning
change to allow Academy of Sound
music school to operate in Willes
building, which he plans to begin
building at 748 Cusick Parkway this
summer.
In April, the board offered owner Wille a $75,000 grant to build his
repair shop at the corner of Cusick
Parkway and Netherwood Road.
Wille said he needs the money to
help prepare a three-acre parcel for
construction. He plans to buy nine
acres from Lycon Inc. at a cost of
$44,000, but only three acres of the
low-lying property is buildable.
Under the agreement, the village
is to reimburse Wille for the cost of
importing and compacting fill material and also for village administrative
and consulting fees.
Willes total project cost would
range from $700,000 to $1.5 million,
he told the Observer. He anticipates

Chief: Urgent need for additional officer
Some officials think

hiring should wait
until next year
BILL LIVICK
Oregon Police Chief Brian Uhl says his request to

create a new officer position for the department is an
officer-safety matter.
U h l t o l d t h e Vi l l a g e
Board at its July 11 meeting that with 17 sworn officers, the department doesnt
always have enough personnel to have each shift covered by at least two cops.
He told the Observer after
the meeting that creating a
new position would allow
us to get to that point where
we can always have two
officers working on staff at
any given time.
Thats an officer-safety issue as well as a service-to-the-community
issue, Uhl added.
A majority of the board
agreed, and last week it
authorized creating a new
police officer position.
Two trustees Jeanne
Carpenter and Jerry Bollig voted against the idea,

while five
o t h e r o ffi cials, including Village
President
Steve Staton,
supported
Trustee Jeff
Boudreaus Uhl
motion to
approve Uhls request.
Carpenter and Bollig
said while they support the
police department and the
chief s efforts to chart a
new direction for the agency, they voted against the
motion because the position wasnt included in
the villages 2016 budget.
They would rather see the
new position created next
year, when its cost could be
included in the budget, they
said.
Uhl told the Observer he
understands the trustees
reasoning but feels getting
another officer on staff is an
urgent matter.
He added hes discussed
the safety need for a
two-officer minimum with
village administrator Mike
Gracz basically since I
started. He said he and
Gracz agreed they would

present the request to the
board, give them information that would justify the
position, and hopefully get
it added on as soon as possible.
At the meeting, Gracz
expressed support for the
creating the position but
also noted the difficulty of
finding money to fund it
now an estimated $82,000
per year because it wasnt
included in this years budget.
He said the board would
have to approve a budget amendment so that the
money could be taken from
the villages fund balance.
Its highly unusual to
take money from fund balance for operations, he
said. We havent done it
before.
But Uhl told the Observer doing so is urgent
especially in light of whats
happening with police-community relations in todays
society.
At last weeks board
meeting, Boudreau voiced
the strongest support for
creating the position. He
argued that because of
the nature of its work, the
police department is more

important than some other
departments in the village.
A police officer is a lifeor-death position, Boudreau said.
Part of the justification
for creating the position
now is that Uhl is beginning
the process of recruiting to
fill a school resource officer
position. The officer in the
role now is leaving Aug. 11
for another job.
Uhl and other officials
said its more efficient and
cost-effective to hire for
two positions, rather than
waiting a few months and
starting the process over.
Its also harder to fill job
vacancies on the department than it used to be, Uhl
said.
The hiring process is not
as fluid as it once was, he
said. Were all competing
for the same pool of limited
candidates.
I need to do the hiring
process anyway, and if I can
get two then Ill go ahead
and do that. If not, then it
may have to wait until 2017
in the budget process.

Six years for 7th OWI

TOM ALESIA
Oregon resident David

A. Kahl received an additional three years in prison in Dane County Court
Monday for a March 31
drunken-driving offense
his 7th OWI in the Town
of Oregon.
Kahl pleaded guilty to
the single-vehicle crash
near Judd Road near
County Road D after leaving the roadway, striking a
power pole and leaving the
scene.
Kahl, 50, will serve a
six-year prison sentence,
which includes three years
for breaking his extended
probation from his sixth
OWI in 2011.
Judge William Hanrahan agreed with the joint
recommendation for sentencing by prosecuting
attorney Shaun OConnell
and defense attorney Jon
Helland.
Because Kahl broke his
extended probation from
the 2011 OWI, he was
already placed in Dodge
Correctional prison in
Waupun.
He needs to go to prison for a while, OConnell
said.
Kahl, a resident of the
5500 block of West Netherwood Road at the time
of the crash, had a blood
alcohol content of .152.
When Oregon police
investigated the crash and
went to Kahls residence,
Kahls mother said she
was driving the vehicle.
That twist was clarified
quickly March 31.
In handcuffs and
sporting a bushy beard,

Kahl spoke to the court.
I promi s e eve r y body
I
wont

a ga i n , h e
said. I
cant promise I wont Kahl
use alcohol,
but Im done driving.
Hanrahan had the option
of issuing a maximum
penalty of 10 years. He
opted for the relatively
shorter sentence despite
Kahl having pressured his
mother into initially taking
blame for the crash.
Another element of
Kahls case caused a plainclothed Madison police
officer to follow Mondays
hearing in court.
Several Madison media
outlets reported in midJune that Kahls DNA
matched a spot on the
clothing last worn by University of Wisconsin-Madison student Brittany Zimmermann, who was murdered at her residence on
517 W. Doty St., on April
2, 2008.
Madison police have not
named Kahl as a suspect.
But Kahl was in the neighborhood that day.
Z i m m e r m a n n s m u rder caused considerable
publicity at the time. The
21-year-old Zimmermann
called 911 before being
stabbed to death in her
apartment during the daytime.
The case remains under
investigation, Madison
police said in a release.

Suspects indicted in use of fake cash

Five Madison residents
have been indicted by a

Oregon.
The indictment alleges
that between Jan. 9 and Feb.
23, Cornelius Stewart, 22,
provided fake $100 bills to
the other four defendants.
They made purchases in

retail stores and restaurants,
the federal report said.
The accused are Stewart;

Guidelines for election letters

Unified Newspaper Group is
proud to offer a venue for public
debate and welcomes letters to the
editor, provided they comply with
our guidelines.
Political endorsements and other election letters must be submitted about two weeks before the
relevant election.
For the upcoming primary election on Aug. 9, general election
letters need to be submitted by
July 25 and will be printed by July
28. Letters will be printed as space
allows.
Other special rules apply during
election season.
Letters should be no longer
than 400 words. They should also
contain contact information the
writers full name, address, and
phone number so that the paper
may confirm authorship. Unsigned
or anonymous letters will not be
printed under any circumstances.
The editorial staff of Unified
Newspaper Group reserves the
right to edit letters for length, clarity and appropriateness. Letters
with libelous or obscene content
will not be printed.
Unified Newspaper Group generally only accepts letters from
writers with ties to our circulation
area.
All letters to the editor should
be of general public interest. Letters that are strictly personal lost
pets, for example will not be

printed. Letters that recount personal experiences, good or bad,
with individual businesses will not
be printed unless there is an overwhelming and compelling public
interest to do so. Letters that urge
readers to patronize specific businesses or specific religious faiths
will not be printed, either.
Thank-you letters can be
printed under limited circumstances, provided they do not contain
material that should instead be
placed as an advertisement and
reflect public, rather than promotional interests.
Language, quotations, facts and
research that are contained in a letter but come from another source
should be attributed. Plagiarized
material will not be published.
Chain letters will not be printed,
nor will letters already published
in another newspaper or magazine.
encourages lively public debate
on issues, but it reserves the right
to limit the number of exchanges
between individual letter writers
to ensure all writers have a chance
to have their voices heard.
This policy will be printed from
time to time in an abbreviated
form here and will be posted in its
entirety on our websites.

the state. He appeared before the
board Monday looking dejected
and thanked members for their
patience.
Wallace opened Alpine Liquors
at 905 N. Main St. in March 2012.
At the time, he was also operating
a store with the same name on
Cottage Grove Road in Madison.
Both stores are now closed.
Wallace experienced a bumpy
ride from the start.
He first appeared before the Village Board in May 2011 seeking
a liquor license. A few weeks later, the board voted 4-3 to deny
his application. The majority felt
there was a glut of liquor outlets
on the north side and the village
didnt need another.
Wallace enlisted the support
of Brett Frazier, then-executive director of the Oregon Area
Chamber of Commerce, and in
August 2011 the board reversed
itself and voted to grant him a
license to sell alcohol.
But when he went to the state
licensing agency, Wallace learned
that the name hed used on his
liquor license application had
already been reserved by a competing Oregon liquor store owner
in an attempt to thwart Wallaces
plans. So he was forced to return
for a third vote on his application,
which the board approved in September 2011.
He ran into more problems,
however, in May 2015, when a
state agency notified the village
that Wallace had been illegally transferring alcohol products
between his stores in Madison
and Oregon. Wallace initially told
village officials he was not transferring alcohol but later admitted
that he did.
A complaint filed in April 2015

by the Wisconsin Department of
Revenue, Alcohol and Tobacco
Enforcement Unit noted that multiple agents had inspected Wallaces stores and found evidence
that the alcohol transfers were
ongoing.
Last month, Wallace ran into
more problems when the board
began initiating a non-renewal process for his liquor license.
He had been behind in a personal property tax payment to the
village, and an official with the
Wisconsin DOR had informed
the village he wouldnt have a
valid sellers permit after June
30 because of an unpaid debt to a
liquor distributor.
Wallace later told the board
that he had a silent investor
who would help him clear up his
debts. That plan didnt work out,
Wallace admitted to the board
Monday.
On Tuesday, village administrator Mike Gracz said two other parties have come forward
expressing interest in taking over
the vacant store on North Main
Street.

Liquor: Discussions to continue during August meeting

School runs its alternative school
program, OASIS. The high school
hockey team also practices and
plays in the building.
In September, the board rejected the ice arenas application
for a temporary license to sell
beer at Wisconsin Whalers hockey games. Village attorney Matt
Dregne told the board it could
approve or deny Petersons application and it could place conditions on the applicant.
You can craft the conditions
that you feel might be appropriate
for this type of alcohol license,
Dregne said.
Peterson said he would not sell
alcohol during WIAA competition, but that would be the only
time he would limit sales of beer
and wine. His business would
be open during all other events,
including practices and youth
hockey games. He also plans to
host live entertainment bands
and DJs in the venue.
His license application indicates the business would focus
more on food than alcohol, and it
states that Peterson would like to

the arena had a liquor license for

the first five years of its existence
and that there was never a problem with it.
The board that came in to run
the arena following Groeniers
departure from the organization decided to give up its liquor
license, he explained, only to seek
another when the Whalers hockey
team began playing in the arena.
Trustee Jerry Bollig moved to
table the license request until the
boards next meeting in August.
He and others said theyd like
to know how the Oregon School
District board and superintendent
Brian Busler feel about the application.
Bollig also said hed like to
know what Village President
Steve Staton thinks of the request,
as Staton was absent from Mondays meeting. Staton, a former
middle school teacher, has pushed
in past years for more restrictive
alcohol laws.

operate anywhere on the property,

including outside areas and in the
bleachers. He told the board hes
an experienced, licensed bartender and has never had a problem
as an alcohol server. He said that
anyone who sells alcohol for him
would be a licensed bartender.
Petersons application hit a
snag, though, when trustee Jeanne
Carpenter asked him about a citation hed received for having
an open intoxicant in a vehicle.
Peterson said he received the
ticket last year for an open can of
beer left in the back of his truck
and added that hes never been
arrested for driving while intoxicated or any incidents related to
alcohol.

Big Fish, bigger dreams

OSHPs summer musical features first-time director Jacob Berggren
If You Go
When 19-year-old Cottage Grove native Jacob

Berggren approached the
Oregon Straw Hat Players last fall about potentially directing its summer
production, the response
encouraged and terrified
him.
Nearly a year after making his pitch which placed
Berggren at the helm of
Big Fish, which debuts

his biggest offstage role to

When the opportunity
came, it was like, OK, lets
see what happens! It was
something that was exciting for me to be even able
to talk about the possibility of growing in that way,
Berggren said.
Based on the 1998 novel
by Daniel Wallace and the
film directed by Tim Burton, the musical version
of Big Fish debuted on
Broadway in 2013. OSHPs
production, however, marks
the first time its been performed by a Madison-area
community theater group.
Oregon native Sarah Karlen, who serves as the vice
president of OSHPs board
of directors, said Berggrens choice to direct a
full-fledged, full-length
musical like Big Fish
would be challenging for
most directors, let alone

this season, he said.
Its easy to teach technique or placement but
its hard to teach a willingness to people. And if a cast
is not willing to go there
for the good of the show,
then its hard to convince
(the audience), he added.
Thats been beyond words
to express how grateful I
am to the team, that theyre
willing to go there.
Berggren credits not only
the cast, but the crew of
Big Fish (which includes
set designer Erin Baal, costume designers Stephanie
Drahozal and Gerry Karlen
and choreographer Allison
Kenison) for helping him
execute his own vision for
the show while bringing
their own artistic visions
to their respective characters and roles. The result,
he said, has made a largerthan-life story relate with
audiences.
One of the beautiful
powers of theater is that
when you put real life
people onstage, you see a
real story come to life, even
if its one full of dreams
and over-exaggerated stories, he added. You see a
heart to it.

believe because its comforting, but we are comforted because
we believe. This was a nice turn of phrase and certainly comforting words for a funeral, where we are all hoping that we will
see our dearly departed again. But this turn of phrase is also
good advice for those of us who dont want to be lazy about
what we believe, and want to believe things because they are
true rather than simply because they are comforting. Its easy to
fall into the trap of believing things either because we want them
to be true or because we fear the alternative, and its tempting to
view a lot of religious beliefs as falling squarely into one or the
other of these cases. So the real question becomes what we are
justified in believing, and in the realm of religion, where the subject matter clearly transcends the realm of experience, we must
rely on faith. As Saint Paul rightly noted, faith is confidence in
what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
(Hebrews 11:1 NIV) Many areas of life require this leap of faith.
Every friendship and every marriage starts with a leap of faith
which hopes, but cannot know in advance, that things will work
out well. Likewise, when we invest our money or invest our time
and effort in studying, we are hoping that those investments will
pay off. When it comes to believing in God and the afterlife, we
cannot know with certainty, but our faith gives us confidence,
and in that there is great comfort.
Christopher Simon, Metro News Service
Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even
though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled
with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the
end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
1 Peter 1:8-9 NIV

(3-for-4) then followed with

Home Talent League

Orioles eliminated from playoffs in 10-0 loss at Verona Edmunds is big winner at MIS
ANTHONY IOZZO
The Oregon Home Talent team

was officially eliminated from the
playoffs Sunday with a 10-0 loss to
Verona in seven innings at Stampfl
Field.
Zach Spencer allowed just one
infield hit in a complete game as
Verona improved to 11-4.
We are out of the playoffs now,
but all we can do is prep for next
year and build, Will Reinicke said.
We just have to have fun and try to
win against Hollandale and Muscoda.
Spencer struck out seven and
walked four for the win in seven
innings. He also was 1-for-3 at the
plate with an RBI and a run scored.
Luke Yapp had a 2-run single in
the first, while David Lund reached
on an RBI infield single.
In the third, Derek Murphy had
an RBI single, and Klayton Brandt
picked up a 2-run single to make it
6-0.
Spencer picked up his RBI in
the fifth, and Justin Scanlon added
an RBI single to make it 8-0. Joey
Scott and Spencer both scored on
an error in the seventh inning to end
the game.
Oregon threatened in the second
inning. Sam Schretenthaler walked

and stole second but Spencer struck
out the side. Ross Galloway had an
infield hit in the top of the sixth to
break up Spencers no-hitter.
We are hitting the ball but just
have to place it, Reinicke said.
Verona gets guys on and they hit
a double or place the ball really
well. We have to do that, but we are
young and can learn.
I think years down the road, we
will be a pretty good team.
Logan Laski took the loss for
Oregon. He allowed eight earned
runs on 12 hits in five innings, hitting two batters, walking four and
striking out one.
Ross Galloway allowed two runs
on two hits, a walk and a hit by
pitch in 1 1/3 innings.
Laski is obviously a good pitcher, and we have Adam Heath, as
well, who is pitching next week,
Reinicke said. It is pretty solid for
the future, I think.
Ross can come in for a couple
innings, and Schretenthaler can
throw a couple of innings too. I
think we can go deep.
Oregon hosts Hollandale at 1p.m.
Sunday and travels to Muscoda at
1p.m. Sunday, July 31.
Verona is now 11-4 in the Western
Section.

Strause: Served as clerk in two locations for more than 37 years

changed, not just electronics.
Through those changes,
Strause worked to become
one of 41 clerks statewide,
among 1,852 total, with an
international certification
acquired in 2009.
It takes awhile to get it
but you want to do the
advanced training anyway,
she said. Even after all the
years Ive been doing this,
you just never have it all 100
percent, because every day
the rules change.
That has helped her keep
up on the continual changes
that clerks have to deal with,
whether to election law or
utilities billing. The knowledge she has from going
through those changes makes
it hard to explain the value of losing Strause, Village
President Pat Hawkey said in
an email.
I recognize Carol for her
dedication, commitment,
accomplishments and many

years of service to the Village of Brooklyn, Hawkey
wrote. Her knowledge of
this position and the historical knowledge of the Village
and Village Board policies
and procedures will be greatly
missed.
Strause will miss the job
too, especially the people
shes met and the feeling of
helpfulness she gets from her
job.
When you live in a small
community, you know a lot
of people, she said. With
the feeling that youre there
to help, you just do what you
can.
Learning from the past

Strause recalled her early
elections, when she and the
election workers would get
set-up for the then-9a.m. start
times and be in the office until
2 or 3a.m. the next morning.
Although technology has
made those days shorter, the

hot topics in municipalities
are still often the same, she
said.
Every municipality has
the same issues, operates pretty much the same way, she
said.
The way she got her two
clerk jobs was pretty much
the same, too. In 1979, Monticello had recently fired its
clerk, Strause said, and a
trustee from the village asked
her if shed like the position.
The then-medical secretary
decided it would mean better
hours and gave it a try.
I remember him now saying, Its not too much work,
she recalled with a laugh. Of
course, he didnt tell me they
were three years behind an
audit and things were a little
messy.
Twenty-nine years later,
she left that job. Just in time,
the Village of Brooklyn had
an opening.
Her time here has been

highlighted, she said, by
working on economic development, specifically the
Brooklyn Business Park,
which was a hot topic and
still sort of is.
It costs a lot of money,
she said of economic development.
That contributes to the other hot topic shes experienced
in Brooklyn: increasingly
challenging budgets.
Each year seems to be a
little tougher, she said.
Loving the job

Despite those tough times,
Strause said she has gotten in

her car every morning since
1979 and been excited to go
to work.
I know thats not typical,
she said. But its the way it
is.
Though she acknowledged
a few tough days in her 37
years, she said serving the
people has made it worth it.
Were here on this earth to
help others, she said. Im a
people person and I just like
to help others if theyre in
need.
Her duties have included
elections, utilities billing and
collections (almost fulltime itself) and budgeting
and tax collections, much of
that behind the scenes from
what people see if they see
anything at all.
People that are not
involved dont have a clue
what we do, she said. A lot
of people in Brooklyn work in
Madison, so they dont even
know that we exist here.
All of those subjects have

changed regularly, too, so
Strause has had to keep up
with seminars, and more
recently, webinars, which has
made it much easier.
You need to take advantage of those situations,
because otherwise you cant
keep up, she said. Otherwise, if you mess up any of
that, the municipality could
get in big trouble for what
seems like a small infraction.
Although shes ready for a
pair of vacations to warmer
climates planned for this winter and babysitting her three
great-grandchildren, she said
July 28 will be a bittersweet
day as she leaves the office.
Ill miss the job, Ill miss
the people, she said.
But, I think Im going to
enjoy not working, she added.

Sanctuary: Assisted living

facilities not best option
Wunsch, who along with
four other neighborhood
residents addressed the
Village Board. Wunsch
said he and his neighbors
had invested large sums of
money in their properties
and feared the Sanctuary
project would cause home
values to drop.
The proposal would
have required some village investment, as well.
Tim Tremble presented
the proposal to the Village Board in February,
calling for $1 million in
t a x - i n c r e m e n t fi n a n c ing assistance to build a
three- or four-story wood
frame building on at 249
N. Main St. with 106 units
of residential housing in an
assisted living setting for
low- to moderate-income
seniors. The developer later downsized the project to
three stories and 99 units
in response to concerns
voiced by neighbors and
the Planning Commission.
It would have been a
partnership between a
Florida-based company,
SCA Properties LLC, and
a Minneapolis-based company, The LaSalle Group.
The developer had proposed a 15-year payback
of the TIF, which would
have been structured as a
pay-as-you-go TIF.
On Monday, in response
to a trustees question, village administrator Mike
Gracz said the Sanctuary
developers could return
with a new proposal and
begin the approval process
again.
But, he said, the developer had indicated he
couldnt make a smaller
project work financially at
the site.
And in its current form,
its gotten little support.
Last week, four members of the Planning
Commission Jeanne
Carpenter, Scott Meier, Eric Smithback and

The building used to

United Methodist Church,

A school was constructed on the site behind the

2004 when the congregation built a new church on

Since then the buildings

Caitlin Beyler trots around the showmanship ring with her

Australian Shepherd, Cinder, at the Alliant Energy Center on
Sunday. They won Reserve Champion in that event.

Brynn Mancusi takes a break from the dog show with her
Newfoundland, Bentley. They took second place in the
pre-novice obedience event.
Fair: Dog show experience an exercise in practice, preparation

Youth competed by grade-level
groupings in separate show rings for
events like obedience, showmanship,
rally (completing the judges obstacle
course) and brace (showing two dogs
as a pair).
Even with all of the activity going
on, the showroom was nearly silent.
Dogs on their best behavior rarely
barked or whined.
Exhibitors kept a respective distance from the others in the room,
finding their own spots away from the
rings during downtime to let the dogs
play, relax or enjoy a treat.
Showtime
As Beyler, an incoming Oregon
High School sophomore, waited for
her turn in the showmanship event,
youngsters in a neighboring ring trotted in sync with their canine companions. Well, almost. Heels dug in and
arms extended, a girl dressed in blue
hung onto the leash with all her might
to slow down her golden retriever.
Moments later, a composed Beyler
entered the ring with 5-year-old Cinder. Four others followed with their
pets close to their sides.
Judge Giene Keyes watched each

movement closely, asked questions
about their breed as she inspected their teeth, tail and stance and
reminded the 4-Hers to be confident
and consider making courtesy turns
before each pattern.
Beyler and Cinder came away with
a reserve champion award in the
showmanship competition, as well as
in rally, Beylers favorite.
But not all events go as planned or
practiced, as Beyler experienced next
in the brace competition with Cinder and 2-year-old Dakota. Dakotas
youth and excitement was apparent during brace, when he often wanted to jump on Cinder and play while
Beyler walked with them side-by-side
around the ring or made figure-eight
patterns around two volunteers.
This is the first year theyre doing
brace together, and (Dakota) had too
much energy, Beyler later told the
Observer.
Even so, she still placed second in
the pre-novice brace event, and later
second in novice obedience and third
in pre-novice obedience.
Now in her eighth year of 4-H,
Beyler is also participating in all
of the shooting sports, dairy, cake
decorating, photography and drawing

at this years Dane County Fair. Beyler said she likes competing in the dog
show because its fun and gives her
and the dogs experience.
Mancusi found success in her first
year in the dog show, placing second
with Bentley in pre-novice obedience.
The duo has been attending training
sessions through 4-H for the last few
months.
Bentley followed the stay, down
and heel commands in his furry black
coat even though he had trouble sitting, Mancusi said.
We were there (at the Exhibition
Hall) for awhile (before the show),
so he was tired out by that time, she
said. But it was really fun we
worked hard.
The incoming Oregon Middle School seventh-grader is also
involved with other events during her
first Dane County Fair. She already
competed in 3-D and indoor archery
on Saturday, and she will enter a hat
she made into the knitting category,
as well as a walking stick she whittled
for woodworking.
