the village cemetery by

He still keeps track of
broken water mains and
actually enjoys his role as
the cemetery sexton, but
since he became the public
works director in 1993, he
doesnt have to do much
physical labor anymore.
On J an. 15, Bel ow

Board quells ice arena fears
Breaking OASIS lease
would be a problem,
but new members say
thats not their plan
SCOTT DE LARUELLE
What appears to have been
a mi sunderst andi ng brought
Oregon Ice Arena supporters in
droves to Monday nights Oregon
School Board meeting.
It was standing-room-only as
about 10 rink supporters asked
the board to work with the are-
na and not break its lease for an
alternative high school because of
continuing moisture issues.
If the OASIS program were
removed from the building, they
said, it could threaten the stability
of the ice rink.
The large public showing was
JoAnn Swenson outfits at stu-
dent at the loaning closet. Its
a program set up through the
Oregon Area Historical Society
that allows more than 350
students to have costumes for
Pioneer Days.

In the 1800s, knickers
were a part of most every
boys wardrobe.
In the 20th and 21st cen-
turies, not so much.
That created a problem
for the organizers of Pio-
neer Days at the Oregon
Schools Districts elemen-
tary schools. The celebra-
tion offers a chance for stu-
dents to learn how people
lived in the 1800s, from
games and food to dances
and music.
But to get the full expe-
rience, teachers would ask
the students to dress up,
beginning with the early
celebrations at Brooklyn
Elementary School in the
1970s and as it expanded to
the districts other schools
later. Marilyn Murphy, a
former fourth-grade teach-
er at Oregon Consolidated
School, said the results
were often mixed.
Some children, thats
great, they have a grand-
ma or an aunt or a mom or
somebody in their family
that makes them an awe-
some outfit, and some could
not, she said. Itd be nice
if all those kids could have
those fun outfits.

ers and cards left there are from local community members who became fond of the donkeys through the years.
A tale of 3 Donkeys
After companions death, 18-year-old welcomes newcomer
BILL LIVICK
He lived in the Town of
Oregon for 18 years, and
his death last month stirred
an outpouring of sympathy.
Mo, a Sicilian miniature
donkey that lived with his
lifelong companion Jo at
the corner of Fish Hatchery
Road and Hwy. CC, died
April 25 of laminitis.
Hed developed a hoof
abscess and was under a
veterinarians care, but
passed away in the middle
of the night.
The donkeys owners,
Merrlyn and Keith Scho-
vi l l e, have pur chas ed
another Sicilian miniature
after Mos passing to keep
Jo company.
After all, Jo has had a
constant companion since
they had acquired the male
donkeys in 1996.
They gave Mo and Jo a
home in a comfy shed. The
donkeys also had access to
a large pasture, where com-
muters regularly saw the
friendly animals playing
together or munching grass.
We thought theyd eat
a lot, but they really didnt
need that big of a field,
Merrlyn said. They had
the run of the place.
Many people knew the
donkeys names because
the Schovilles had erected
a wooden sign of two don-
key heads, with their names
painted in bold letters.
You cant hardly talk to
anyone who didnt know
Mo and Jo, Merrlyn said.
She noted that Mo and
Jo were the same age but
had different mothers. She
and her husband purchased
them because of their gen-
tle nature and the calming
effect they have on people
and other animals.
Theyd become part of
the Schovilles family.
Merrl yn i s st i l l a bi t
shaken over Mos pass-
ing and feels responsible
for feeding him too much
grain over the cold winter
months.
I was really pouring
it on to them, and I guess
they cant stand that much
grain, she said. Mo was
the one that ate the most,
and it gave him laminitis.
After Mo got the abscess,
veterinarians from Coun-
try View Veterinary Ser-
vice, across the road from
the Schovilles, came over
just about every day or
every other day, Merrlyn
lamented. We wrapped his
feet. They gave him shots.
I gave him pain medicine
twice a day, and we thought
he was getting better.
Merrl yn sai d Si ci l i an
miniatures typically live to
be about 30, and shes been
taking Mos death pretty
hard.
It did just about break
my heart, she said. I kept
thinking I shouldnt have
done that; I just fed him too
much. It was just kind of
a fluke. I didnt know any
better.
The sad story was first
reported in the Wisconsin
State Journal on May 5.
The article said that Jo had
been braying a lot in the
days after Mos passing,
which Merrlyn confirmed.
She said it was obvious
Mos death was the cause
of Jos distress.
He just was not him-
self, she observed. He
wasnt eat i ng. He was
mainly standing, crying. He
was totally a different don-
key. It was terrible.
A week or s o af t er
Mo died, the Schovilles
acquired another donkey,
whom theyve named Jack.
He turned a year old Sun-
day, on Mothers Day.
Jo wasnt real quick to
welcome the stranger to
his new home. At first, he
wouldnt let Jack in the
shed, but that changed after
a day or two.
The little donkey, it took
a couple days for him to
adjust because Jo was kind
of bossy it was his shed,
it was his water and his
field, Merrlyn said.
Theyre adjusting fine
now, she added. Jos not
standing around and bray-
ing anymore.
Still, Jos the boss, and
its a good thing its that
way, Merrlyn said. He
marches Jack around pretty
good.
She observed that like a
typical youngster, Jack is
more energetic than Jo but
also lies down to take more
naps.
She sai d Jacks real
friendly, and like his pre-
decessor, hes a big eater.
Somebody sent me $20
to buy treats for Jo, and so
I went out and got treats
for them, Merrlyn relayed.
Id given them each a treat
or two, and when I turned
around to go back in from
the field I could feel some-
thing nibbling on my back
and pulling my shirt, and it
was that little one. He was
wanting more treats.
It did just about
break my heart.
I kept thinking I
shouldnt have done
that; I just fed him
too much. It was
just kind of a fluke.
I didnt know any
better.

owner

State, Oregon
graduation rates
continue climb
SCOTT DE LARUELLE
When it comes to measur-
ing the success of schools,
the percentage of students
who graduate is at the top
of the list. And while Ore-
gon School District num-
bers have remained above
Wisconsin averages, those
state numbers have con-
tinued a recent trend of
improvement.
Accordi ng t o a press
release last week from the
Wisconsin Department of
Instruction (DPI), public
schools in the state have
continued an upward trend
in high school graduation
rates, reaching 88 percent
during the 2012-13 school
year.
The Oregon School Dis-
trict has been well ahead
of the curve for the past
few years, ranging between
93.1 and 95 percent since
2007, with 94.7 percent of
students graduating (includ-
ing those who complete
requirements after their
graduation date) during the
most recently calculated
2012-13 school year.
St at e super i nt endent
Tony Evers said the num-
ber s conf i r m nat i onal
reports that put the state
among t he best i n t he
nation for graduation rates.
According to the National
Center for Education Sta-
tistics, Wisconsin is tied
for second with its 2012-13
rate of 88 percent.
Earning a high school
diploma is critical to the
next steps in a young per-
sons life (getting) ready
for college and careers,
he said. Through the hard
work of teachers, school
staff members, parents and
the students themselves,
we are making progress to
improve graduation rates
for all students.

Town of Rutland
Public hearing on radio tower expected
A public hearing tenta-
tively set for next month
will give area residents
a chance to weigh in on a
controversial proposal to
build a 486-foot radio tow-
er in the Town of Rutland.
Tomah-based Magnum
Communi cat i ons want s
to build the tower near
Old Stage Road to service
Stoughtons first FM radio
station. Town and Dane
County officials denied the
request in 2012, but chang-
es to state law last spring
opened the door for Mag-
num to try again.
Town officials discussed
the proposal at two sepa-
rate meetings last week
but took no action. The
public hearing is expected
to be held 6:30 p.m. June
12 at the Rutland Town
Hall, 785 Center Rd. A
joint meeting of the towns
plan commission and board
of supervisors will fol-
low, said town clerk Dawn
George.
A separate public hear-
ing was held April 29 by
a Dane County committee
that drew proponents and
opponents of the tower.
The town has 60 days from
that hearing to vote on the
proposal, though Rutland
officials are expected to
ask for a 40-day extension
beyond that, George said.

Oregon School District Oregon Bike Trail
Board approves
easement agreements
Construction to
begin next month
BILL LIVICK
The Village of Oregon
is moving forward with its
plan to construct a recre-
ation path from the Alpine
Busi ness Par k t o Fi sh
Hatchery Road.
Last week t he board
authorized the village to
enter easement agreements
with two landowners for
use of their properties.
The board approved a
final real estate donation
agr eement wi t h Emi l y
Harri s, who owns l and
on Fish Hatchery Road,
or segment C of the trail
project. The village agreed
to pay $609 to a tenant
who has a lease to farm on
the property.
Actual construction on
the Harris property wont
take place until next year.
The board also approved
a real estate agreement
wi t h t he Kel l er Al pi ne
Dairy that calls for the
village to pay $12,000 to
owners Dora and Betty
Keller.
The si st ers l ast year
agreed to a friendly emi-
nent domai n wi t h t he
village in order for the
trail to be built on their
land, north of Netherwood
Road.
Construction of the 3.1-
mile trail is expected to
begin in June, beginning
with an asphalt-paved path
at t he Al pi ne Busi ness
Park. The first segment
will extend west, past the
north side of the dairy,
for 1.8 miles, at a cost of
$350,000.
The vi l l age i s usi ng
a combination of fund-
i ng sources, i ncl udi ng
$115,000 from the village
TIF 2 District fund, about
$51,000 of borrowed mon-
ey, $175,000 from a 2011
Dane County Partners for
Recreation and Conserva-
tion (PARC) grant, and a
$9,000 contribution from
the Town of Oregon.
The total estimated cost
of constructing the path is
$760,000.
The village also applied
for a Department of Natu-
ral Resources grant in the
last week of April.
Village attorney Matt
Dregne told the board he
is discussing acquiring a
wider piece of property
with the Department of
Corrections.
We do have the origi-
nal 14-foot easement, but
theyve told us we need an
additional six feet to meet
stormwater requirements,
Dregne said.
He said the State Build-
i ng Commi ssi on woul d
consi der t he vi l l age s
request in June.
Village President Steve
Staton told the Observ-
er t hat t he vi l l age had
planned to build a 10-foot
wide path with a three-
foot buffer on each side,
but the DOC requires a
five-foot buffer on each
side.
If by some chance this
falls through with DOC,
we have another option
with Emily Harris, he
said.
The long-term goal is
t o connect t he Oregon
Bike Trail with the Bad-
ger Ridge Trail a couple
miles west of Hwy. CC.
The trail leads south to the
Wisconsin-Illinois border
and north to Madison.

Mixed messages on balanced calendar
Task force wants
more information
SCOTT DE LARUELLE
One year after a school
board task force began study-
ing a balanced calendar for
Netherwood Knoll Elemen-
tary School, it has recom-
mended spreading the idea
even wider.
That despite an apparent
lack of support from district
parents and even its own
study.
On Monday, the task force
presented a summary of its
findings to the school board,
suggesting that despite a
solid majority of district par-
ents being opposed to the
idea of a balanced calendar,
the district should look into
a balanced calendar for all
students from kindergar-
ten through eighth grade.
A recent survey of district
parents revealed a higher
amount of support for a bal-
anced schedule if all schools
were on the same schedule,
instead of one.
The r ecommendat i on
was not an action item on
the agenda, so the board
made no decision Monday
night, and it remains to be
seen how they will react to
a proposed expansion of a
balanced calendar in light
of the task forces findings.
According to a summary of
findings presented Monday
night, the task force did not
find definitive research that
would contend that a bal-
anced calendar has a positive
impact on student achieve-
ment.
Pr ompt ed by a 2007
school board vision paper
on a balanced calendar, the
task force has met since last
July, conducting a parent
survey in March. Of the 163
responses to supporting a
balanced calendar (distrib-
uting 176 school days over
10 or 11 months instead of
nine), 55.2 percent wanted
to keep the same schedule,
with 38.7 percent preferring
the balanced calendar (6.1
percent had no preference).
Asked their support of a bal-
anced calendar if all district
schools were included, 55
percent said yes, with 45 per-
cent against the idea.
Monday night, the task
force recommended it con-
tinue to meet to study the
feasibility of partial imple-
mentation of a balanced cal-
endar to appeal to the 38.7
percent of respondents who
support a balanced calen-
dar without the district-wide
condition, and that a sepa-
rate district-wide task force
be formed to study the feasi-
bility of at least a K-8 bal-
anced calendar. Task force
chairman Dan Rikli, prin-
cipal of Netherwood Knoll
Elementary School, cited
pretty significant summer
learning loss as a main impe-
tus for seeking information
on a balanced calendar, as
well as stress issues for stu-
dents and staff.
Things are different than
a few years ago, he said.
The task forces FAQ on a
balanced calendar states that
changing academic expecta-
tions and government chal-
lenges and mandates have
significantly changed the
way school looks and feels.
Many of the staff feel that
these changes have created
a more stressful and intense
learning environment, it
read. There is a general con-
sensus among the NKE staff
in support of spreading out
the required 176 school days,
with more frequent breaks;
thus reducing stress and sum-
mer learning loss, while cre-
ating happier and more suc-
cessful students.
Task force member and
second-grade teacher Andrea
DeNure sai d t he group
spent a lot of time looking
at achievement data, both
before and after the summer
break.
There is some significant
learning loss in that three-
month time, she said.
District parent Jeff Kling
of Oregon said the group was
doubling down on a bal-
anced calendar when a large
percentage of parents made
it perfectly clear they didnt
want it.
When did No become
Yes? he asked. When 61
percent of parents said they
didnt want a balanced calen-
dar, and Mr. Riklis response
is the same concept, but now
going through K-8, disrupt-
ing more parents lives in the
district.
If mat h and readi ng
scores and lower than we
want them to be, lets do
more math and reading in
school.
Looking to the future,
member Steve Zach said
board members need to start
thinking about larger items
like personalized learning,
teacher compensation and a
possible balanced calendar,
and how they fit into the dis-
tricts long-term planning.
If were going to do
some visioning, we need to
look at all of those together,
because all of them are com-
ing together and bumping
up against the barriers, and
we need to make a deci-
sion, how far we want to
go with it, he said. If you
want to move forward with
where education is going in
this world, that means some
fairly dynamic paradigm
shifts. Weve played around
the edges for the last five
years, if were going to move
forward on any of them, its
going to take some work and
some collaboration and look-
ing at all of these together.
2014-15 Capital
Maintenance Plan
Board members approved
three projects be completed
for $93,5000 as part of the
2014-15 Capital Mainte-
nance Plan: $43,500 for
removing asbestos flooring
and replacing carpet with
Marmoleum flooring in four
rooms at Brooklyn Elemen-
tary School, replacing car-
pet with Marmoleum floor-
ing in five rooms at Prairie
View Elementary School
for $25,500 and spending
$24,500 (which includes
$16,400 from the insurance
company) to resurface the
main gym floor at Oregon
High School to correct water
damage from last year.
The floors are scheduled to
be installed this summer.
Personalized learning
update
Citing progress made and
work yet to be done, the
board approved spending
$75,000 from the districts
2014-15 Fund 10 for profes-
sional development for per-
sonalized learning during the
next four school years. The
money will not come out of
the districts fund balance.
Growing numbers
For the 2014-15 school
year, 35 will open enroll out
of the district, and 117 will
open enroll into the district,
said superintendent Brian
Busler.
New approach

Former pastor does

VICTORIA VLISIDES
A former Peoples Unit-
ed Methodist Church pas-
tor will preach as part of a
homecoming event at the
church this Sunday, May
18.

when he was

t o anot her

Hi n t z ma n t o l d t h e
Observer in a phone inter-
view that 15 years is a long
time for a Methodist pastor
to be at the same church,
but his work with help-
ing the church do a build-
ing campaign kept in at the
church as part of Gods
plan.
The new building, locat-
ed at 103 N. Alpine Pkwy.,
was finished a year or two
before he was reappointed.
Hintzman returns to preach
at 9 and 10:30 a.m. services
at the church to be followed
with a potluck at noon.
The community is invited.
Bring a dish to pass.

due no doubt to a well-cir-
culated email sent Friday
by a rink supporter ask-
ing people to attend Mon-
days meeting, claiming
the school board informed
us they intend to break the
5-year lease for the OASIS
space at the Oregon Ice Are-
na facility. The lease with
the district, signed last sum-
mer, was a contingency for
the rink board to sign on to
operate the facility.
The email said board
member Gwen Maitzen and
her new school board col-
leagues have been pointing
to the unhealthy environ-
ment at the facility as a
reason to move the OASIS
program and break the lease.
The board did not discuss in
detail the situation Monday
night, as the item was not on
its agenda.
Board member Charles
Uphoff did say the issue of
closing the rink had never
before been brought to the
board, so I hope people
arent overly concerned
about that.
He told attendees he
looked forward to oppor-
tunity to work with par-
ents involved with the rink
in addressing any issues
involved with the use of the
facility.
This is a good show of
interest on your part, he
said.
On Tuesday, board mem-
bers Rae Vogler and Mai-
tzen told the Observer that
the board has not talked
about ending its lease with
the OASIS program. At the
meeting, Maitzen said mis-
information spread in the
email about her opinion on
the ice rink was hurtful.
The way this got orga-
nized was something I dont
think you really want to
teach your children about,
she told the crowd. The
ice rink is very important. I
never said it wasnt. In the
future; lets talk openly and
collectively and get your
facts straight. We are here
to work together to make
this the best school district
together. I really do believe
we are on the same page, so
thank you for coming out
tonight.
On Tuesday, Maitzen,
who got a round of applause
after making her comments,
told the Observer shes got-
ten several apologetic emails
since the meeting from ice
rink supporters.
I appreciate those people
who stepped up, she said.
Ongoing issues
Th e $ 2 . 5 mi l l i o n ,
42,000-square-foot arena,
which opened in 2008 and
includes a National Hockey
League regulation-size rink,
was in the news last summer
with an ownership change
that saw the State Bank of
Cross Plains refinance its
mortgage and forgive a sig-
nificant portion of debt.
Were very encouraged
with the opportunity to keep
it an ice rink facility and
move forward with the new
board of directors, said
Jim Tubbs, president of the
State Bank of Cross Plains,
in July.
Representatives of the
new board signed a five-
year lease agreement with
the Oregon School District
in last summer, as the dis-
trict houses Oregon High
Schools OASIS (Oregon
Alternative School and Inte-
grated Studies) program in
the facility and had been
paying about $40,000 annu-
ally to rent the space. The
arenas revenue sources
also include Oregon Youth
Hockey, Or egon Hi gh
School Hockey, the Oregon
Skating School and a variety
of hockey camps.
Ice arena board member
Tim LeBrun, speaking to
the crowd Monday night,
said there has been a lot of
rumor and misinformation
about the ice arena and the
OASIS program. He talked
about ongoing attempts to
remedy the moisture issue
at the rink and said the rink
recently passed a third-party
test conducted at the behest
of the district.
He said the carpet has
been replaced with lami-
nate flooring, and ceiling
tiles have been replaced.
Environmental monitoring
decides were also installed
so we can better under-
stand the conditions that
are causing any moisture
issue.
He also thanked school
officials for their support.
The Oregon ice area
would not exist without
the school district, he
said. This facility was
developed, came to light
and operates as a commu-
nity asset for the benefit
of youth and money other
activities. Without your
support, that facility will
close.

The Best News
I have sometimes lamented that the problem with life is not that we
are not loved, but that we are not loved sufficiently. We all desire to be
loved just a bit more than we currently are and perhaps appreciated a
bit more for just how wonderful we think we are. But, in reality, we are
loved perfectly by God. We shouldnt expect so much from our fellow
man; family and friends do their best to love and be loved in return,
but we are not the best lovers. The prize for best lover clearly goes to
God, who made each of us perfect in our own way, and who loves us
despite our failings. And what is more, he made the ultimate sacrifice,
humbling Himself to appear in human form, being born in the hum-
blest of circumstances, and subsequently suffering an ignominious
death usually reserved for the worst of criminals, and doing all of this
to give us a good example and to atone for our sins. So rejoice in this
best of news: you are infinitely loved!
- Christopher Simon via Metro News Service
In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent
his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. In this
is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his
Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

Ask The Oregon
VETERINARIAN
Q. Why does my dog love to play loose with other dogs but barks and growls at
other dogs when were walking on a leash?
A. Dogs behaviors can change dramatically between off and on lead for a variety of reasons,
and the change that youre seeing is not at all unusual. Continuing to socialize your dog off
lead is very important, but I would suggest that you also seek out a good group obedience class
to teach your dog how to greet politely on a leash in a safe, supervised environment. This will
make a huge difference.

SENIOR CARE
Q. As I age, what can I do to protect my muscles, bones and joints?
A. Muscles, joints, and bones are vital to movement. They enable us to accomplish complex feats
such as downhill skiing and simple tasks like writing with a pencil. Bones provide our basic body
structure, joints allow exibility of movement, and muscles hold them together to make it all possible.
It is important to pay attention to these body parts all the time, not just when they hurt, and to care for
them as we age. As we age, our bones lose density, muscles lose exibility and joints become worn.
This affects mobility and balance, making us more at risk for falling and fracturing bones. Elders are
especially prone both to falling and diseases such as osteoporosis and arthritis. Experts say healthy
eating habits and moderate exercise can improve and maintain joint mobility, muscle mass, and bone
strength. A diet rich in calcium and vitamin D helps maintain bone density. Vitamin D also acts as an
anti-inammatory in regards to joint pain, as do omega-3 fatty acids found in sh such as tuna and salmon. Maintaining a healthy
weight decreases the pressure on our joints and prevents inammation of joint tissue. Limiting fat intake from other sources will
help maintain a healthy weight and keep fatty tissues from developing in muscles, which weakens them.

INVESTMENT SERVICES
Q. Ive heard there are many different options to think about with taking social security what
should I do?
A. www.ssa.gov/estimator. The retirement estimator gives estimates based on your actual Social Security
earnings record. The website form will ask you for a number of facts, including your name, Social Security
number, date and place of birth, your mothers maiden name, additional information you provide about future
earnings, and the age at which you expect to stop working. Based on this information and your actual earnings
history as maintained by the Social Security Administration, the Retirement Estimator generates an estimate of
the amount you would receive if you were to retire at age 62 (the earliest date you can receive benefits), the
amount if you waited until full retirement age (which currently ranges from 65 to 67, based on year of birth), and
the larger benefit you would receive if you continued working until age 70 before claiming retirement benefits.
You should talk with a financial professional to get more personalized advice.

ATTORNEY
Q. How can an attorney help us with a For Sale by Owner home sale?
A. An attorney can save a lot of headaches on a FSBO sale. Your attorney will help prepare your
real estate condition report and review (or even draft) the offer to purchase. He or she will draft
any counter-offers, addendums and amendments required, work with your title insurance company
on the closing preparations, review the title insurance commitment, go over the settlement state-
ment with you, and advise you on any issues that may arise along the way. Choosing your attorney
before listing your property will avoid scheduling issues and ensure you have the professional
guidance you need, when you need it.

Wisconsin prepared to cel-
ebrate its sesquicentennial
the following year, grants
were made available for
historical societies around
the state to help commemo-
rate the event.
Sarah Orvick from the
Oregon Area Historical
Society went to Murphy,
who told her that 20 out-
fits each for boys, girls
and adults would be a huge
help for Pioneer Days.
After the process played
out, OAHS received a state
grant to create a Loaning
Closet to help with Pio-
neer Days.
In November 1997, a
committee at OAHS put out
a request for seamstresses,
and Dorothy Tauchen con-
tacted the Oregon Senior
Center about using space,
fabric and whatever help
it could provide from the
Craft Afternoon for sew-
ing. Thats when a core
gr oup of seamst r esses
stepped in, and sewed many
of the clothes the closet still
offers today.
A group including Janet
Keenan, Pauline Champion,
Tauchen, Dorothy David-
son, Ruth Hauta, Phyliss
Hanson and Nina Noyce
made shawls, petticoats,
dresses, bonnets and more
cl ot hi ng i n t he Pi oneer
style.
After all the children
were able to have a cos-
tume, they genuinely par-
ticipated in it, Murphy
said. Before it was like
okay Once they had
that costume on, they were
pioneer children.
It really did make a big
difference.
The clothes come without
a rental fee, though OAHS
does ask for donations when
students come for their
clothing fittings a week or
two before the Pioneer Days
celebration at their school.
The fittings involve a quick
measurement by a volunteer
and then a quick try-on of
potential outfits.
At first when they go try
it on, theyre like ah I dont
know, said Brooklyn Ele-
mentary teacher Kelli Brew-
ster. But once they see that
everyone else is wearing it,
they really like it.
That enjoyment also is
passed down to younger
children at the school who
havent experienced Pioneer
Days, but generate an inter-
est when they see their older
peers wearing clothing that
stands out from an average
21st Century outfit.
It also generated a lot of
interest in the younger chil-
dren in school, said former
Brooklyn Elementary teach-
er Betty Manson, who was
around for the first Pioneer
Days. The little kids would
see them and it was oh,
whats going on? They look
forward to fourth grade and
Pioneer Days probably from
kindergarten on.
The closet also offers
rentals for fifth-graders
going through their Wax
Museum project in which
they dress up as a histori-
cal figure they choose. The
closet stocks viking helmets,
cowboy hats and Native
American dresses among
their many offerings to try to
cover any figure chosen.
We have an awesome
collection of stuff, OAHS
director Melanie Wood-
worth said. We can just
Google and Wikipedia and
get pictures of those char-
acters and we tell them
well do the best we can to
get what you need and then
we give them ideas.
The partnership between
the schools and the museum
surprises some parents, but
when they find out about it,
theyre generally apprecia-
tive of the chance for their
students.
The parents have been
very grateful, said Amanda
Wallisch, who took over
coordinating the closet last
year. The biggest comment
that Ive heard is we didnt
even know this place exist-
ed.
Looking for volunteers
Woodworth said as the
student population has grown
(the closet outfits 350 or so
students every year between
Pioneer Days and the fifth-
grade Wax Museum), repairs
and new clothing can be
tough to come by.
On the front end you
had this core of women who
sewed, she said.
Its a lost art, Wallisch
added.
Anyone interested in vol-
unteering for the closet or the
historical societys museum
or donating clothing can con-
tact the historical society at
835-8961.
Pioneer: Closet outfits 350 or more Oregon School District students each year

Living in the 1800s
Pioneer Days first came
to Oregon through Brooklyn
Elementary School, where it
began in 1976. In the 1990s,
it spread to the Oregon School
Districts other schools and
became a tradition for the fourth-
grade classes to take part in.
Students play games like
marbles, learn how to make
candles or soap and see
demonstrations on knitting or
basket-weaving. Brooklyn and
Netherwood Knoll elementary
schools held their festivals earlier
this year, and Prairie View will
hold the final event this year May
23.

Panthers fall short at Stoughton in 2-1 loss
JEREMY JONES
Sports editor
Oregon softball clawed
back to knot the score in the
top of the sixth inning Friday,
but were unable to close the
door on the host Stoughton
Vikings.
Stoughtons Sarah Seaton
and Maddie Sehmer connect-
ed on back-to-back doubles
in bottom of the sixth inning
Friday to power the host
Vikings past Oregon 2-1.
Sehmer, who finished
2-for-3 at the plate with a pair
of doubles, saved her best for
last, knocking in the go-ahead
run off the base of the left-
center field fence.
Seaton tossed a two-hitter
over seven innings, striking
out 12.
Thought the Panthers
lead-off hitter reached base in
the first two innings, Seaton
respond by striking out the
sides. Seaton finished 3-for-3
at the plate with an RBI.
The scored remained 1-0
Stoughton until the top of
the sixth when back-to-back
walks with one out helped
the visiting Panthers knot the
score.
Dani Moore dug in and
laced an RBI single to center.
Oregon freshmen center
fielder Julia Schmidt and
catcher Jayme Zander high-
lighted a much-improved
Panthers defensive effort.
Schmidt made a superb div-
ing catch to rob lead-off hitter
Samantha Tepp of a basehit
in the bottom of the third.
Like Ive said before,
theres a lot of potential all
over, head coach Mike Der-
rick said. Its just finding that
right combination and putting
the pieces together.
Vikings lead-off hitter
Samantha Tepp scored the
games first run after reach-
ing base on a check-swing
single. Two batters later the
clean-up hitting Seaaton sin-
gled into left to place Tepp.
Freshman Lacey Fluck-
inger took the loss for Ore-
gon, allowing two earned
runs on seven hits over six
innings.
Or e g o n h a d b e e n
10-runned in its last four-
straight games. The Panthers
lost 7-1 to Stoughton earlier
in the season.
The Panthers travel to
Monroe on Friday and to
non-conference Evansville
next Monday.
Seedings for the WIAA
playoffs will take place next
Wednesday.
Mount Horeb Quad
Fluckinger threw what
Derrick said was her best var-
sity game yet, tossing a one-
hitter through five innings as
Oregon cruised to a 14-3 win
over New Glarus in Mount
Horeb on Saturday.
She finished with five
strikeouts, but hit two batters
that ended up scoring.
Between the Stoughton
game and the Mount Horeb
tournament, Moore com-
bined to got 6-for-8. She was
2-for-2 against New Glarus
with three runs scored, five
RBIs, a double and a triple.
Kate Spierings (2-for-3),
Allie Green (3-for-4) and
MacKenzie Kressin com-
bined to drive in eight runs.
Zander finished 3-for-3 with
a double.
Affectionally dubbed
Wild Thing in reference
to Charlie Sheens character
in the movie Major League,
freshman Jenna Gratz got the
start in the circle in the sec-
ond game Saturday against
Dodgeville.
While she maybe the hard-
est thrower in the Panthers
bullpen, striking out eight
in 4 2/3 innings, Gratz lived
up to her nickname, walking
eight and hitting two.
Trailing 4-3 entering the
fifth, the walks eventually
caught up with Oregon.

Kickers bounce back from
first conference loss
ANTHONY IOZZO
girls soccer team bounced
back from its first Badger
South Conference loss on
May 6 with a win and a tie
last week.
The Panthers knocked
off Monroe 5-0 on Thurs-
day and followed up with
a scoreless tie in two over-
times at Monona Grove on
Tuesday.
Oregon (7-4-1 overall,
2-1-1 conference) had a
14-game conference win-
ning streak which started
in 2011 snapped in a 1-0
loss to Fort Atkinson on
May 6.
But head coach Jul i e
Grutzner said the Panthers
are playing like the bet-
ter team despite the close
games. They just arent get-
ting the bounces to go their
way yet.
In Tuesdays win, not
only did Oregon outshoot
Monona Grove, but they
also held the Silver Eagles
to just two shots.
A lot of that comes from
holding two girls Grutzner
said will most likely be
All-State players and who
are also being looked at by
Division I schools Sava-
nah and Sienna Cruz to no
goals.
We are attacking and
attacking well with num-
bers, Grutzner said. It
was a great defensive effort.
When you only give up two
shot to a team like that, it
is really good. I am excited
from what I am seeing from
our girls, and the level of
play has really picked up.
... We still have an out-
side shot to win conference,
but our goal is still to go to
state.
Oregon had a goal called
back on an offsides call and
another ball hit the post in
Tuesdays tie.
Freshman Abby Bre-
itbach finished with two
saves, while MGs Saman-
tha Kinsler collected six
saves.
The Panthers continue the
season at 5 p.m. Thursday
at Whitefish Bay and trav-
els to Mansfield Stadium to
take on Madison Memorial
at 8 p.m. Friday.
Oregon finishes the week
at 7 p.m. Tuesday at home
against Milton.
Oregon 5, Monroe 0
The Panthers scored three
times in the first half to run
away from the Cheesemak-
ers last Thursday.
Makenna Fanning and
Kr i st i n Mar shal l each
scored two goals, while
Paityn Fleming added a
goal and an assist. Kelsey
Jahn added two assists,
while Holly Kaboord added
an assist.

all the different people, he told
the Observer. I couldnt even
begin to tell you all the different
board members Ive worked with
over the years. And of course, I
like working with the commu-
nity.
When I first started, it felt like
I knew everybody in town and
where they lived and what kind
of cars they drove, Below add-
ed. But that was back when the
village had 2,000 people.
Growing pains
Now, with the village nearing
a population of 10,000, Below
said hes enjoyed being a part of
Oregons growth. He thinks vil-
lage officials have planned that
progress very methodically in
a well-thought out way, and
overall the village has improved
over the years.
But t he subdi vi si ons t hat
sprang up on the west side in the
late 1990s and all through the
2000s (until the latest recession)
also caused some headaches.
There were subdi vi si ons
going in one after the other, he
recalled. People couldnt move
here fast enough.
As the villages zoning admin-
istrator and public works direc-
tor, Below had his hands full
keeping track of it all. It meant
more parks and streets to main-
tain and more paperwork to stay
on top of.
Around the time the Great
Recession hit in 2007 and the
building slowed, the villages
budget for supplies and person-
nel also started to dry up and
public works lost three of four
temporary summer-employee
positions.
And then it got really tough.
In August 2007, a so-called 100-
year storm dumped a record 8.13
inches of rain in less than 48 hours
on the village and caused flooding
in several neighborhoods.
Below remembers the event
and its aftermath as one of the
most challenging times in his ten-
ure here. The village eventually
bought and removed six homes
from Florida Avenue, along with
the street itself, which was turned
into parkland.
But he also considers the work
the village did the following year,
replacing a 72-inch stormwater
culvert and renovating the down-
town, as a couple of the munici-
palitys biggest accomplishments
of the past 40 years.
On top of everything
At a Village Board meeting on
April 21, Village President Steve
Staton praised Below for his
years of service.
He recalled first being elected to
the board and thinking that being
the director of public works cant
be that tough a job you cut grass
and plow snow and keep people
happy, Staton said.
He has discovered otherwise.
Theres so much more to it
than that, he said. You look
in Marks office and see all the
things he has as far as blueprints
and developers agreements and
plans and documents, and you
see how on top he is of all that.
Belows knowledge of the vil-
lage, Staton said, is particularly
remarkable.
Wi t h every propert y, he
knows what type of water line
goes to it, whether its lead, and
what needs to be done and whats
under the streets, Staton said.
Mark is a quiet, unassuming
person whos very dedicated to
his job and doing things right.
Hes invaluable to the village.
Later asked about Statons com-
pliments, Below admitted feeling a
little embarrassed. Then he put his
own spin on being the person that
others always seem to turn to for
answers about village history.
Im what they call a dino-
saur something thats been in
one place that many years, he
said with a laugh. But I enjoy
answering peoples questions. ...
Its nice to help people in the vil-
lage when they need an answer
and its also nice for the people
who work for me. I try to share
everything I know about the vil-
lage to make their jobs easier.
Grew up here
Below was born in Clintonville
and moved to Oregon in 1961,
when his dad, an employee with
the Department of Corrections,
was transferred to Oakhill Cor-
rectional Institution.
Hes lived in the village almost
his entire life since then. He
graduated from Oregon High
School in 1972, married in 1973
and started working for the vil-
lage the following year.
He and his wife, Carol, have
three adult children and four
grandkids.
The family owns a cottage on
a lake in Waupaca County, about
2.5 hours away.
We try to get there most week-
ends in the summer, Mark said.
Up there I swim and I go fishing
quite a bit. My brothers and I have
some hunting land up there, too,
and we do some hiking.
I used to hunt real hard, but
Ive kind of backed off and Im
more the camp cook now, he
continued. We go up once or
twice a year to deer hunt. We
play poker, and I help the guys
drag the deer back. But I dont
like the cold and dont have the
patience anymore.
Its hard to imagine him not
having patience in any situation.
Staton noted that Below quietly
goes about his job in a very thor-
ough way, and that hes always
respectful and has a good sense
of humor.
Hes just fun to work with,
Staton said. His knowledge and
experience just cant be replaced.
He just does a really, really good
job.
Below: Public works director enjoys being part of growing village
When I first started, it felt like I knew everybody
in town and where they lived and what kind of cars
they drove.
But that was back when the village had 2,000
people.
Mark Below, retiring Public Works director
Student art displayed
Oregon High School held the
15th annual Fine Arts exhibi-
tion and auction on April 17,
featuring 2013-2014 student
artwork. Drawings, paintings,
photographs and sculptures were
exhibited on tables and verti-
cal boards with about 100 stu-
dents, teachers, family members,
local artists, board members and
administrators in attendance.
There was high traffic around
State Silver Key Art winner
Jen Zernicks anatomy illustra-
tions, and a lot of chatter about
junior Alexa Uselmans photo-
realistic charcoal and pastel por-
traits. Sophomore, Daisy Garrett
dazzled viewers with her dark,
yet comical illustrations, while
senior Dani Loomis fascinated
viewers with her charcoal por-
trait and mixed media pieces.
Another senior, Casey Bonno,
impressed viewers with her digi-
tal drawing illustrations. Amanda
Blackwell showed her leadership
skills by helping as the spokes-
person for the art auction and
Mystery Box fundraiser. With the
assistance of OHS teachers and
students, the Seeds of Inspira-
tion were thrown on the pottery
wheel, designed with glass as a
mosaic, and planted with some
of the agriculture departments
greenhouse plants.
A combination of student art-
work, community members art
pieces, and the Seeds of Inspira-
tion potted plants helped earn
$500. This will allow the art
department to continue the tra-
dition of an art scholarship to a
senior this year. To make a dona-
tion, or for information, contact art
chair Mike Derrick at mjderrick@
oregonsd.net.

Shirlee Martinson
Shirlee A. Martinson, age
78, passed away May 6,
2014, at University Hospital,
Madison after a brief illness.
She was born May 22, 1935,
in Madison to Elmer and
Catherine (Gutzmann) Men-
igoz.
As a child Shirlee lived
in Madison and Michigans
Upper Peninsula. Returning
to Madison with her fam-
ily as a teenager, Shirlee
worked so she could attend
Edgewood High School.
She will be greatly missed
by her special friends from
Edgewood Graduation Class
of 1953.
During the time when
Shi rl ees ki ds were i n
school , she worked for
Oregon Middle School as
a teachers aide. She loved
snow days when she could
stay at home; make a big
pot of soup and homemade
bread while her kids played
in the snow.
Shirlee loved the out-
doors, especially camping
at Devils Lake and cross
country trips in the station
wagon with the camper in
tow, visiting many of the
national parks during her
lifetime. She passed this
love for the outdoors on to
her kids and grandkids.
Shirlee worked as a sec-
retary for Martinson Imple-
ment in Brooklyn for many
years and finished her career
working as an administra-
tive assistant for a group of
doctors in Madison.
She was an avid seam-
stress, making clothes for
herself and kids as they
were growing up. She also
made beautiful quilts for
herself and her family. She
also enjoyed gardening and
planting wildflowers. Her
home was always surround-
ed by beautiful flowers.
In her retirement years,
Shirlee and her husband Bill
would spend their summers
on Lake Wisconsin and their
winters in Florida. They
made many dear friends
at the South Shore Resort
in Lake Wales. They later
bought a home in Lake Ash-
ton near Winter Haven.
Shirlee is survived by
her husband of 35 years,
Bill; children, Rick (Cathy)
Schmal e, Kat hy ( Ji m)
Beyer, Lisa Grumann, Teri
(Don) Nolden; Bills chil-
dren, Paula (Brian) Ricker,
Martha (Eric) Grover, Bill
(Chris) Martinson; eleven
grandchi l dren and four
great-grandchildren. She is
further survived by her sis-
ters, Mary (Don) Janquart,
Joan (John) Paitl; sister-
in-law, Michelle Menigoz;
speci al aunt , Margaret ;
extended family in Upper
Michigan and many nieces
and nephews.
She was preceded in death
by her parents and a brother,
Joe.
The family would like to
thank the St. Louis Univer-
sity Hospital ICU doctors
and nurses and the caring
doctors and nurses at UW
Hospital in Madison.
A Mass of Christian Buri-
al will be held at 11 a.m.
on Tuesday, May 20, 2014
at Blessed Trinity Roman
Catholic Parish, St. Patrick
Church, 515 Fair St., Lodi,
with Father Chad Droessler
presiding. Visitation will be
at the church on Tuesday
from 9 a.m. until the time of
Mass.
In lieu of flowers, memo-
rials may be made to the
Auxiliary Hospitality House
at Saint Louis University
Hospital or Friends of Dev-
ils Lake State Park. To view
