Oregon School District
Referendum a big success

Good turnout as board members
look to probable April referendum
SCOTT DE LARUELLE
Unified Newspaper Group
After the last Oregon School District referendum vote went down in flames in April
2012, it was a bit of a surprise that the latest attempt two separate votes at nearly
twice the cost passed by such a comfortable margin (around 60-40 percent).
But with years of work put in by district
officials to better understand residents
wishes, as well as communicate their own

needs, they said the publics positive reaction indicates the two sides have made
significant progress toward understanding
each other.
In a letter last week to district residents
from Oregon School Board president Dan
Krause and district superintendent Brian
Busler, the two thanked voters for their
consideration of the solutions the district
presented to voters on Nov. 4.
We are pleased the solutions have met
the needs of the district and the community
as a whole, read the letter. We have also
appreciated having an open dialogue with
community members and hearing a variety

of views on how to address the opportunities and challenges we face together. In the
spirit of openness and honesty, this dialogue must continue.
Krause and Busler said that the district
will continue to foster dialogue with community members about the future of its
schools.
We will also continue our commitment
to protecting the educational priorities of
the district and make the most of every single dollar invested by residents into their

Youth center gains

independence,
nonprofit status
With new board

BILL LIVICK

Time was not on its side,

but the Oregon Youth Center is now an independent,
tax-exempt, nonprofit corporation with a new Board
of Directors.
And most importantly,
for the dozens of kids who
visit it daily, nothing has
changed.
That was far from a certainty back in July, when
the YMCA of Dane County
announced it would cease
operating and end its association with the center at
the start of the school year.
The Y later pushed back its
date to sever ties to early
November.
That extra time gave
manager Diane Newlin
and the centers Advisory
Board a few months to transition to independence. In
the end, said Newlin and
others who participated, it
was a seamless transition.
But it required the help of
volunteers from the within

Fall election
Village of Brooklyn
Turnout lower than

expected, higher than ever
Police chief receives written warning
MARK IGNATOWSKI
There were few surprises

in last Tuesdays relatively
local races, as historically
Democratic Dane County
voters continued similar
voting patterns.
Statewide vote totals
were the highest ever
recorded for a regular
gubernatorial election at
54.25 percent, but fell short
of turnout for the 2012
recall election where 57.8
percent of eligible voters
cast ballots, according to
data from the Government
Accountability Board. The
non-partisan election commission said in a news
release that the previous
record voter turnout in a
November gubernatorial
election in the last 50 years
was 52.4 percent in 1962
In comparison, turnout
in the last two presidential elections has averaged
around 70 percent.
Dane County turnout
was at around 73 percent,
according to unofficial
results posted on the county
clerks office website.
The actual number of
ballots cast in the election
will be slightly higher once
local clerks report official
election statistics to the
Government Accountability Board in the coming
month, the board said.
Locally, an Oregon
School District funding
referendum drew nearly
10,000 voters to the polls.

Village and Town of Oregon voters accounted for
nearly 70 percent of those
votes.
Village of Oregon voters
also supported a Move to
Amend question that aims
to amend the U.S. Constitution to limit political contributions to people, rather
than corporations or unions.
The non-binding referendum was supported 3,718997.
In Senate Dist. 15, Democrat Janis Ringhand beat
out Brian Fitzgerald to take
over outgoing Sen. Tim
Cullens seat. The seat covers portions of Dane, Jefferson, Rock and Walworth
counties.
Ringhand had the edge in
the Village of Oregon (999532), Town of Rutland (679397) and Town of Dunkirk
(221-135).
In the 43rd State Assembly district, incumbent
Democrat Andy Jorgensen
retained his seat over challenger Leon Hebert. He
also won in all three areas,
1,012-474 in the Village
of Oregon; 231-117 in
Dunkirk and 684-373 in the
Town of Rutland.
Statewide races
Local election totals differed from statewide results
for the gubernatorial race,
where incumbent Republican Scott Walker was
re-elected over challenger
Mary Burke.
Statewide, Walker garnered 52.3 percent of the

vote, receiving 137,607
more votes than Burke. In
Dane County, however,
Burke carried 69.7 percent
of the vote.
In the race for state Attorney General, Waukesha district attorney Brad Schimel
was elected 51.6 to 45.4
over Democrat Susan Happ.
In Dane County, however,
Happ earned 67.3 percent
of the vote compared to
Schimels 29.9 percent.
A statewide referendum
on whether to amend the
state constitution to create
a transportation fund was
approved by voters with
nearly 80 percent of voters
statewide supporting the
referendum.
Dane County
Dane County voters gave
approval to two nonbinding referendum measures.
About 72.6 percent of Dane
County voters would like
the state Legislature to
raise the minimum wage
to $10.10 per hour. Nearly
81.7 percent of Dane County voters thought the governor should accept federal
funds to expand BadgerCare.
Dane County sheriff
Dave Mahoney was reelected, along with county Clerk of Court Carlo
Esqueda .

The Village of Brooklyn

board voted in October to
issue a written warning to
the villages police chief
after a miscommunication
about him leaving town for
a week.
Brooklyn
police chief
Harry Barger left for
Columbus,
Ohio, for
one week
beginning
S e p t . 2 2 , Barger
according to
an employee
discipline form from the
village provided by village
officials after the Observer
requested the warning.
He sent an email Sunday
night to Village President
Nadine Walsten and the
village clerk, but that did
not satisfy the villages
notice requirements, the
village boards personnel
committee decided.
The villages policy,

adopted Nov. 14, 2011,
states a department head
leaving the village for two
days or longer should
communicate the dates,
duration and reason to
their staff, other department heads, the Village
President and the Chair of
the appropriate oversight
committee in a timely
manner at least one day
in advance.
Emails show Walsten
responded to Bargers initial
email Monday afternoon
when she arrived at the
office to check emails. She
said he was in no show, no
call status because she had
been unaware of his pending absence.
I didnt provide her
notice in a timely fashion,
Barger told the Observer
Tuesday. Thats what it
comes down to.
I really didnt believe
a written warning was
appropriate here but it
is what it is.
A memo detailing a
meeting between Walsten

and Barger Oct. 20 states
that Barger felt his email
was sufficient for notification, and emails released
with the warning show he
also pointed to the use of
should instead of shall
in the villages policy to
argue he was in compliance.
The policies within the
village actually conflict
each other relative to this,
Barger told the Observer.
Barger also said in the
emails that he intended
to bring it up at an earlier
safety committee meeting but had forgotten and
that it was on the September department schedule.
That schedule is unofficial,
according to the warning
issued, and therefore does
not trigger the official
notification process.
The villages personnel
committee met Oct. 1 and
7 to discuss the issue and
the Village Board voted
5-2 Oct. 13 to issue the
official written warning to
Barger.
Structure fire damages Town of Rutland home

More than half a dozen
fire fighter crews responded to a Town of Rutland
home that was damaged in
a fire Friday night.
Oregon fire department
responders led the firefighting efforts around
5:53 p.m. Nov. 7, at a
home on Center Road
between Stoughton and
Oregon.
No injuries were reported, however several pets
were unable to be saved,
Dane County Sheriffs

Office Lt. Kerry Porter
said. The home is unlivable
due to smoke and water
damage, officials said.
Lt. Tony Antoniewicz
of the Oregon Fire Department said the fire likely
started in the kitchen, but
the cause has been labeled
as undetermined, as investigators could not locate
the exact cause of the fire.
Antoniewicz said the single occupant of the home
was offered services from

the American Red Cross
but was able to stay with
friends following the fire.
Crews from Stoughton,
McFarland, Brooklyn,
Fitchburg, the Town of
Madison and Belleville all
responded to the rural incident.
Antoniewicz said the

is complete.

Letters to the editor
Nedelcoff supporters should be

aware of coachs background
This letter is to clarify any misinformation that was disseminated
to teachers and parents of youth
basketball players, which prompted support of Jon Nedelcoff at the
School Board Meeting on Oct. 27,
2014.
I was impressed with the outpouring of support for Jon Nedelcoff. I think it is important for
people to stand up for what they
believe in and for what is just and
true. Having said that, I would
be remiss if I did not provide the
facts surrounding our complaint,
so that those of you who showed
up to support Jon Nedelcoff are
accurately informed of what you
are all in support of.
Our complaint involves concerns with repeated violations of
the District Bullying Policy 163
by Jon Nedelcoff in his position as
varsity head basketball coach, not
in his position as a teacher or with
his involvement in the youth basketball program. Complaints have
been made each season to administrators, including Mike Chapes,
athletic director at the time, and
subsequently, Mike Carr and
superintendent Brian Busler.
Parents were ignored, and no
meaningful investigations were
ever conducted. Our district has
created an environment where
concerned parents and students/
athletes are afraid to speak up for
fear of retaliation by the district
and/or by this coach.
Administrators failed to meaningfully address and resolve
this matter. Our only option
was to seek support from the
school board and speak publicly.
The Human Assets Committee

attempted to provide us an opportunity to share information regarding Jon Nedelcoff, Mike Carr,
and Brian Buslers violations of
the Bullying Policy, in a private,
closed meeting environment, only
to have meetings canceled at the
direction of superintendent Brian
Buslers office.
All of the accolades given to
Jon Nedelcoff by supporters at the
meeting are irrelevant and do not
negate the facts of our complaint.
The facts are that Jon Nedelcoff
repeatedly violated District Bullying Policy 163 on several occasions.
Brian Busler and Mike Carr
are in violation of this policy by
allowing these repeated bullying
behaviors of Jon Nedelcoff and
allowing him to continue coaching
with no consequences.
I will never be all in at the
expense of our kids/high school
athletes.

who acted with class when things

got nasty on the floor and Hazel
Green won.
After high school many of us
from the small town surrounding UW-Platteville commuted to
classes there. Given my history
with Cuba City, which included
being the target of bullying for
being the geek I was, I took the
opportunity to find a new group
of friends and wound up with
a group of people from Hazel
Green which included Jon Nedelcoff. From my perspective Jon
had nothing to gain from becoming my friend. He was well on
his way to a coaching career,
was working with Bo Ryan and
did not need this friendship. But
thats not Jon. The geeky kid
from his rival town and Jon did
become friends. Not once during
those college years did I see him
treat anyone disrespectfully. Not
once.
After college our careers have
taken us different directions, but

we did keep in touch. It was clear
when we had those opportunities to talk that Jon has a passion
not just for basketball but for all
the kids who come through his
classroom. When I heard Jon was
coming to Oregon to coach, I
was thrilled to know our community was getting not only a great
coach, but a great person.
None of us are perfect, but to
hear an accusation that Jon verbally assailed a student to the
point of bullying is counter to
everything I know of Jon that
goes back over 30 years! I am
honored to be able to call Jon a
friend.
Oregon should be proud to
have someone like Jon as a teacher and coach now, and for a long
time to come.

This letter is in support of Mr.

I am 47 years old and grew up

life. I know everything about Jon
and what he stands for. You will
not find a more focused man who
stands for the education process
in school and on the court.
Jon is a gifted father, teacher,
mentor and coach. Hes taught
hundreds of young men and

women both in the classroom and
on the court. Whatever the situation was that transpired, I am sure
Jon was trying to get more from
his team and he knew it was in
them.
Hearing the truth is not always
pleasant and rushing to the aid
of your child can also make you,
the parent, look bad. It is a shame
that parents have to come forward and slander a man like this.
Just sad!

Small increase to tax

rate in budget proposal
Public hearing set

Members of the Verona Area Childrens Theater rehearse recently in preparation for two shows of Getting to Know the Sound of Music,
to be held at the Oregon High School Performing Arts Center next weekend.
Get to know The Sound of Music Nov. 21-22

The Verona Area Childrens Theater is performing
Getting to Know The Sound
of Music in Oregon later
this month, bringing their
own touch to a classic tale.
The story centers on a
nun named Maria, whose
passion for singing and
dancing has caused some
trouble in her abbey. Her
superiors, seeing her unfit
to be a nun, send her away
to be the governess of Captain Von Trapps seven
rather troublesome children, who she teaches to
sing.
The children come to
care for the governess fairly
quickly, and all seems well.
Until the Nazis invade Austria, forcing the family to
flee.
The cast is made up of
60 members from the theater group, ranging from
the ages of 8-14. The play
features Corinna Smith
and Virginia Morgan, who

play Maria, and Noah Strube ,who plays Captain
Von Trapp. The cast has
been working under director Terry Dvorak since
the middle of September. Since then, they have
learned the songs, which

were directed by Sue Mielke, and the dances choreographed by Alyssa Dvorak.
The set design was created by Dick Vock and Dee
Baldock, and the costumes

Action slated for

Nov. 20
MARK IGNATOWSKI
The Dane County Board

of Supervisors is slated to
take action on the county
budget next week.
A vote on county executive Joe Parisis budget,
along with any changes
proposed by supervisors, is
expected at the boards regular meeting Nov. 20.
The countys Personnel
and Finance Committee
has a budget deliberations
meeting scheduled for 5:30
p.m. Nov. 17. Further budget deliberation meetings
for the county board are
scheduled for Nov. 18 and
Nov. 19, if needed.
Agendas for next weeks
meetings had not been posted as of press time Tuesday. For information, visit
countyofdane.com.
Locally, specific projects

include additional money
for road projects and recreation improvements.
The proposed budget
includes:
$110,000 for joint
repairs with the Village of
Oregon on County Hwy.
MM
$25,000 for a well at
Anderson Farm County
Park
Countywide, the budget includes a $4 million
investment in DaneCom,
investments in snow plowing operations and phosphorus reduction in lakes.
Nearly half the budget goes
towards human services
programs and operations.
Taxpayer impact
Parisis proposed operating budget includes a $6
million levy increase to
bring the total to around
$530 million for 2015. Parisi
said this increase falls within the state-imposed limits
with a 4.07 percent increase.

The county is working
with a $509 million operating budget this year. Parisi
said it would cost the county about $3.5 million to
maintain the same level of
service as this year.
Parisi said the countys
portion of a homeowners
property tax bill accounts
for about 15 percent of the
total. The projected tax
rate $3.118 will rise by
about 1 cent per $100,000
in assessed value compared with last year, but an
increase in assessed values
means taxpayers will pay
slightly more. Actual tax
rates vary by municipality
due to different assessment
calculations and special
levies for libraries or public
health initiatives.
The county executive has
proposed a smaller capital
budget for 2015 $39 million compared to last years
$44.7 million.

Town of Dunn residents

will see a slight bump in
the towns portion of their
property tax bill this year
if the towns budget proposal is approved.
Last years rate of $2.64
per $1,000 of assessed
value would jump to $2.69
this year under the proposal, accounting for an extra
$10 on a $200,000 home.
One of the biggest
changes in the budget,
according to the town
newsletter budget summary by town clerk Cathy

more money to the road

Tuning up for winter

Oregon students
to help fix
snowblowers
Winter is just around
the corner, and nothing
is more handy around the
house than a snowblower.
Later this month, Oregon
students are teaming up to
help make sure people can
remove snow as efficiently as possible.
Oregons SkillsUSA
Chapter is conducting
snowblower tune-ups
through Nov. 19. For $25,
students will clean the outside and inside of snowblowers, checking the
spark plugs and replacing
them if necessary, changing engine oil of the snow
blower, filling tires with
air, replace the air filter
(requires extra payment),
and completing an overall visual inspection of all
engine and mechanical
parts.
People can drop off

snowblowers at the high
school anytime between
7:15-9 a.m. and 3-4 p.m.
through Nov. 19, near
the large automotive bay
doors near the back of the
field house. The proceeds
from this fundraiser will
go towards paying for
SkillsUSA members district competition fees.
SkillsUSA is a nonprofit
organization whose goal
is to prepare students, college students, and teachers
for careers in trade, technical, and skilled service
occupations.
The Snowblower Tune
Up gives students the
opportunity to provide a
community service while
applying technical skills
theyve learned in class,
said one of Oregons
chapter advisors, Dennis
Haakenson.

Simplify Your Diet

How much time do you spend each day planning and
preparing meals, not to mention shopping for them and of
course eating them? While there are people who enjoy all
of this, and not just the part which involves eating, some
of us wish it could be simpler and easier to accomplish
this basic task of getting nutrients into our bodies. A
single product that provides all of our nutritional needs is
surely not far away. In fact, there are already products on
the market that claim to do just that. But, perhaps we need
not take the simplify your life advice this far. Maybe
just adding more rice and beans to the diet would do it. It
would certainly simplify our shopping and make us healthier if we cut out the nutritionally questionable snack foods,
such as candy, chips, and soda. Most of us would be better off just drinking water and having some fruit for dessert. We dont need to be vegetarians, but cutting some
or even most of the meat out of our diets would probably
leave us both healthier and wealthier. Perhaps the best
advice we can follow to simplify our diets is to remember
the old adage: Eat to live; dont live to eat.

10-year resident opens dental practice in Oregon

SCOTT GIRARD
Jeff Sharkus has lived in

the Village of Oregon for
10 years, but until this year,
the dentist had worked in
the City of Madison.
That changed when he
opened Sharkus Hometown
Dentistry July 1 at 787 N.
Main St., in the same complex as Bills Food Mart.
I always wanted to just
do a small town, Sharkus
said last month of opening
his own practice here.
And in the four months
since opening, patients
have rewarded him for taking that step as the office
is above the number of
patients Sharkus had projected for the beginning of
the business.
He estimated he currently
sees between four and six
patients a day.
Starting out, I thought if
we saw one to two people
a day, that was going to be
great, he said.
One key to that sudden
increase, Sharkus said, is
the location so near Bills
Food Center.
It was between this and
potentially trying to find a
piece of land to build on,
he said. But I just loved
the location, and weve got
a lot of foot traffic.
That was kind of the big
thing was just the exposure.
For Sharkus himself,
theres another benefit to
where he ended up opening
the practice: Its almost in
his backyard.
I live about 600 feet
away, he said as he pointed out the front window

patients demands it.
across the parking lot.

That allows him to be
around as his twin 5-yearold daughters begin kindergarten this year.
Its just easy to get
involved in any activities
that theyre doing, he said.
Im really close by and its
going to be nice down the
road.
The bad part is I cant
really call in if we have a
big snow storm or something, he jokingly added
later.
Sharkus said he and the
two hygienists currently on

staff put a premium on getting to know their patients
as individuals, something
that sometimes doesnt happen at larger dentist offices
like the one he most recently worked at in Madison.
We dont want to just
shuffle them in and out,
which youll find in a lot
of the larger offices, he
said. But at the same time,
weve got all the technology.
That technology includes
a PreXion 3D scanner
(Like a CT scan for your
head, as Sharkus described
it) and a reverse osmosis
water system to ensure the
water they use for washing
tools and rinsing mouths is
clean.
Its purer than the bottled water that you can buy
out at the store, he said of
the osmosis system. Its
not cheap, but I think its
worth it. Putting yourself
as a patient, to have a doc
think of that, I think is really a nice thing to do.
Sharkus said he encourages anyone with a dental
question to call them, or
just stop in to say hi, part
of the small-town feel
the UW-Madison graduate
wants to emphasize through
more than the homemade
bread and cookies they
offer patients.
How many people are
excited (to go to the dentist)? he said. Most people dread it. But nine times
out of 10, people walk out
of here and they really had
a good time. It feels great.
Lighting up the village from end-to-end

Chamber looks for
donations to spread
holiday lights
beyond downtown
SCOTT GIRARD
The Oregon Area Chamber of Commerce is hoping

to spread the holiday spirit
beyond downtown this year
with new lights.
The chamber is asking for

donations to create a holiday welcome to everyone as
they enter town by adding
lights along the entrance
corridors to the village,
according to a recent chamber newsletter.
The chamber is working with Alliant Energy
to upgrade the street light
posts so they could take

Freshmen Carolyn Christofferson and Katie Reisdorf joined

juniors Hannah Rau and Willow
Kugel as the only members of the
Oregon/Belleville girls swimming
team to reach the medal podium
Saturday.
Competing in one of the fastest
Division 1 sectionals in the state,
Christofferson, Reisdorf, Rau and
Kugel posted a time of 1 minute, 56.07 seconds for sixth place
inside the Beloit Memorial High
School natatorium.
Though a season best by more
than four seconds, it was not
enough to earn a spot at this
Saturdays Division 1 state meet as

Waukesha North/Kettle Moraine
earned the final 200 medley relay
spot at state with a time of 1:52.06.
Verona Area/Mount Horeb won
the event in a pool record 1:46.55.
The top six sectional champions
across the state automatically qualify for state, while the next 18 fastest times round out the field of 24.
The Panthers just missed the
podium on the 200 free relay where
sophomore Claire Candell joined
Christofferson, Rau and Kugel to
finish ninth with a three-and-a-half
second PR in 1:44.16.
Oregon/Belleville returns every
girl on the 200 medley and 200

four seconds from last year and are
close to school records.
The girls have been wanting to
break 2 minutes in the 200 medley
and to finally do that at sectionals let alone by 4 seconds and get
to the podium the girls deserved

that race, Panthers head coach
Karissa Kruszewski said. The
girls missed out on state by a four
seconds, thats only a second per
person, which each girl is more
than capable of doing.
As coaches, we are excited to
see the relays continue to improve
next year.
Christofferson added a 12thplace finish in the 50 free (25.33)
and 14th-place finish on the 100
backstroke (1:03.15).
Kugel finished 13th in the 50

Rau cut nearly three seconds to

Kissling, Chase earn first-team honors

JEREMY JONES
Sports editor
Senior Peter Kissling and junior

Max Chase were key cogs in an
Oregon football team defense that
allowed 18.2 points per game and
helped the Panthers return to the
playoffs this season.
Last week, both Kissling and
Chase were honored by being named
first-team Badger South All-Conference defensive players.
Peter, a 6 foot, 180 pound defensive back, finished fourth on the
team with 71 tackles and led the
team with three interceptions.
We put Pete on the opponents
best receiver and he shut them
down pretty good, head coach Dan
Kissling said.
Despite being an undersized linebacker at a 5 foot 10 inches and 175
pounds, Chase led the team with 85
tackles and four fumble recoveries.
Max has the demeanor and motor
to play defense, Kissling said.He
was always around the ball, and
conference coaches were impressed
with his play.
Oregon finished second overall in
the Badger South Conference (4-2)
thanks in large part its strong running game, which averaged 183.6
yards per game and accounted for
27 touchdowns behind second-team
running back B.J. Buckner and honorable mention Matt Yates.
Bucker, a senior, played through a
partial shoulder separation following
the first game of the season to finish 10th all-time in school rushing
history. He accounted for 699 yards
on 89 carries and seven touchdowns
this season.
Splitting time with Buckner in the
backfield, Yates racked up a teambest 729 yards and nine touchdowns
on 119 carries.

Sectionals: Season ends on high note despite no state berths

spot from last season to finish 10th overall out of the
15 teams competing with 85
points.
Verona Area/Mount
Horeb, ranked fourth on
the Wisconsin Interscholastic Swim Coaches Division

1 state poll, won the meet
with 348 points. It was the
Wildcats first sectional title
in program history.
Meanwhile, fifth-ranked
Middleton (326) and sixthranked Madison Memorial
(321) rounded out the top

three.
Abby Schmitt was the
lone senior participating at
sectionals for Oregon.
Abby played such a significant role this year as a
captain, Kruszewski said.
She has fought the last two
years through sicknesses

and injuries to still make it
on the sectional teams.
Im happy she got to
walk away with all best
times at her last meet.
Schmitt being the only
senior at sectionals this season speaks to the depth of
the Panthers for next year.
We moved up places at
both conference and sectionals, the girls want to
be at the top and as a team
are making those improvements to get there, Kruszewski said. Next year, our
goals will be the same, but
tweaked a bit; we want to
continue to progress up
the placements at all our
meets.

Caring for our Green World since 1978

Oregon School District superintendent Brian Busler speaks to a sparse crowd at the Oregon Senior Center on Oct. 22. A statement from
Busler and board president Dan Krause touted the districts accomplishment in instilling a sense of ownership among voters.

Referendum: Board looks ahead to April teacher pay vote

schools, they wrote. One of our
major accomplishments as a result of
this seven-year effort (to pass referendums) was that community members
expressed to us that they felt a sense
of ownership of their district.
The last time the district went to
referendum, voters soundly defeated
a $33 million plan to upgrade the
high school, middle school and athletic fields and a second referendum
to exceed revenue caps by $150,000
a year to maintain the new facilities.
This time around, the $54.6 million
plan covered improvements to all of
the districts schools except Rome
Corners Intermediate School, which
is the districts newest building.
Referendum projects that can now
get underway include a variety of
projects throughout the district.
Brooklyn Elementary will get a
$1.3 million roof replacement and
maintenance project, a $2.3 million
cafeteria and kitchen addition and
$809,000 classroom addition. Netherwood Knoll Elementary gets a $1.5
million HVAC upgrade, and Prairie
View Elementary will get a $777,000
storm water improvement and outdoor classroom.
Oregon Middle School will get a $3
million music addition, $1.8 million
STEAM addition and a $954,000 new
secure entrance.
And at Oregon High School, there
will be an $8.2 million two-story
classroom addition, $5 million physical education addition and locker
room renovation and a $4.4 million
three-station gymnasium.
April referendum?
School board member Rae Vogeler
told the Observer the positive vote on
the referendums shows the community supports investing in our schools,
and she pointed to an upcoming likely
referendum in April on teacher compensation that was postponed earlier
this year.
We want to draw and retain our
excellent teachers so that we can keep
our schools strong, she said.
First-rate education is not

just about the buildings,
but those who teach
and learn inside those
buildings.
Rae Vogeler
But the major reason for deciding to

wait until April for the teacher compensation referendum was the lack of
a clear, final plan. Although the initial proposal had a $3.5 million recurring number tied to it, members of
the Teacher Compensation Committee indicated the details needed to be
ironed out before the district could try
to sell a plan to voters.
The board has been working with
the Oregon Education Association
in recent weeks to make progress on
the plan, including a closed session at
Monday nights school board meeting.
Earlier this year, Krause said the
new teacher compensation plan will
eventually put the district head
and shoulders above the competition when it comes to attracting and
retaining new and skilled teachers.
Weve had enough money to keep
our buildings running, weve had
enough money to make all the repairs
we needed to make, and were in
good shape mainly because and largely because these sacrifices that our
teachers and staff have made in their
salaries, he said. We are not overlooking that.
Vogeler said quality education is an
asset to Oregon because it helps put
us on the map as a good place to live,
drawing families to the community to
help it thrive.
First-rate education is not just
about the buildings, but those who
teach and learn inside those buildings, she said.

Youth: Centers managers want to increase visibility of tin shed building

Oregon, Dunn and Rutland,
and from Dane County
Department of Human Services.
Board president Kris Halverson told the Observer
that she expected to sign the
centers new contact with
the village Wednesday.
And they have high hopes
for the center, to not just
keep existing programs but
to grow and to increase its
visibility in the community.
Those goals started with
the efforts of the board
members who fought to
keep a good thing going.
There are six women on
the board who were total
strangers that came together
to form not only a board
but also a team, Halverson said Tuesday. We all
worked really hard and got
everything done that we
needed to do, and were
moving forward.
Keeping home base

Manager Diane Newlin and assistant manager
Alex Luther will continue
to run the centers day-today operations, and the programs that serve as many as
35 kids a day will remain in
place.
If fact, Newlin and the
new board hope to expand

serve as a community center. But for now, the center

will remain dedicated to
serving kids.
This is the age where
kids start feeling less comfortable going to their parents, Newlin said. And
so giving them an outside
adult to come to thats
what were here for.
Newlin sees it as a place
in the center of learning
and home.
The youth center is a
drop-in program thats free
to kids in grades 6-8. They
come and go as they please,
Newlin said.
She explained that kids
often come to the center
after school, sign in and
grab a quick snack she
buys 30-40 pieces of fruit
a day and fills a bowl thats
there for all.
A lot of our kids will use
us as a home base, Newlin said. They come in and

If they choose to leave,
they dont come back, she
said.
The center also has a
lending closet and a very
small care closet, which
runs on donations and is
open to everyone.
We have school supplies to hand out if kids
need them and we hand out
clothes if kids need them,
Newlin explained. They
can choose anything they
want and as much as they
need. Ive found that kids
dont take more than they
need.
Aiming for growth

Halverson said the Board
of Directors and the centers managers have a list
of goals, most having to do
with increasing the centers
visibility in the community.
She thinks too many people
dont know that the center
even exists, housed in its
drab tin shed.
One of the short-term
goals is to implement a
publicity campaign to show
that the youth center is free

and a healthy environment.
She said next year center
staff and volunteers hope to
raise funds to publicize the
program and purchase signage for the building.
In addition to doing more
fundraising, they plan to
improve the look and feel
of the center. Some of that
work has already begun.
Weve got a team of
volunteer eighth-grade and
freshmen girls who are
spearheading the redesign
of one of the rooms, Halverson said. Were going
to do it a room at a time,
and all of the children who
attend are going to have a
chance to be involved and
learn new skills.
She added that the center
is working with the Nehemiah Center (from Madison), law firms and other
groups to help develop programs that will benefit the
children and their families
who attend the youth center.

While increasing the centers profile is a priority,
apparently there are many
people who are aware of the
centers needs and value its
role in the community.
Halverson said people
from every walk of life
stepped forward to help
make sure that this youth
center succeeded as it was
transitioning to independence.
Theres an old saying
that a community is only as
strong as its weakest member, she said. The youth
center was struggling there
for a while and we werent
sure if we were going to
make it. There are so many
people who played a role in
this.
If a community is only
as strong as its weakest
member, this speaks highly
of Oregon.

A notice was published

by Oregon Fire Department
Chief, P. H. Cusick and Dept.
Foreman, E. G. Booth, notifying members of Engine Co.
No. 1 that the following motion
had been adopted at their last
meeting: Any member not
present at a regular meeting

The bank closed during the
depression of the 1930s.
Auto bandits stopped a
local farmer: Four bandits
driving an auto stopped Perry
A. Outhouse, a local farmer
living on the Oregon-Madison
road. He and his family were
returning home from a neighboring farm around 1:30 a.m.
Two of the bandits had
guns and demanded that Mr.
Outhouse hold up his hands
which he did.
According to Outhouses
account: He first met the
machine [auto] coming from
Oregon. It went past him at
full speed, crowding him into
the ditch. A few minutes later
the robbers returned and
stopped in front of his rig.
Two men jumped out and
grabbed the horses. As soon
as the carriage was stopped,
all of the lights on the car were
extinguished.
Two other men drew revolvers and accused Mr. Outhouse
of insulting their driver. He
had not said a word up to this
time.
Then the robbers saw that
the occupants of the rig,
with the exception of Mr.
Outhouse, were women and
jumped back into the car and
returned towards Madison.
