What a finish!
Junior Andi McCorkle hits her third shot on the 16th hole Tuesday in the second round of the WIAA Division 1 state tournament. She finished 32nd overall with a 172 (86-86) as the Oregon High School girls golf team stepped up with a season-best score of 336. That gave the Panthers a top-five finish as a team with a 691 for the tournament.

Oregon School District
The Path Forward
Latest OSD position paper addresses future of education

SCOTT DE LARUELLE
For the past quarter of a century, Oregon School Board members have charted
a course for student success by writing
down their strategic vision in position
papers. The eighth such paper, The Path
Forward, was unanimously approved
the board Aug. 12, culminating nearly
two years of work.
Outlining challenges and opportunities facing school districts in a future
with increased emphasis on technology,
the 18-page document lays out how the
district must evolve to keep up with a
dynamic world environment for graduates.
(They) will vie with other similarly talented students, no matter whether their path is post-secondary education, the workforce, military or other

community service or technical school,

the paper states. (We) first need to
understand the new context of our world,
and its profound impact on the education
and preparation of our students.
The paper calls for the school leadership teams at each school to implement
the districts strategic plan and to report
annually to the Oregon School Board.
District superintendent Brian Busler said
the document will guide staff work for
the next 10 years.
(They) become part of school board

policy and are a public declaration of our
direction clearly articulat(ing) what
we expect for our students, what parents
can expect for their children and what
we promise to deliver to all students, he
said.
Board president Steve Zach, who
brought the idea to the board in November 2014 and helped shepherd the project through several revisions, pointed
out several ideas from the paper that
could be implemented in the near future.
Those include individual learning plans
for each student, capstone projects
for graduating high school seniors and a
re-examination of the school day and the
school year.
Zach, who works as an attorney for
area school districts, said the culture

Despite a rash of complaints from residents, the

Village Board affirmed
Monday it wants to enforce
an ordinance that prohibits
signs from being placed
on village right-of-way,
including yard terraces.
Signs have never been
allowed on the terraces,
also known as a park row,
public works director Jeff
Rau told the board Monday. But he said many people dont realize the sidewalk and street terrace are
public land.
Rau inspired Facebook
complaints Oct. 4 when
he drove around the village and placed notices on
between 120 and 140 signs

that had been put up within the village right-of-way.
Most were asking drivers
to slow down for children,
Rau said, and there were
also political signs.
I attached notices telling them to put the sign
back further in the yard,
Rau said.
The notices inform people that the sign is placed
within the village right-ofway, which is not allowed
under village ordinances:
Each property owner is
allowed one yard sign not
exceeding six square feet in
area to be placed within the
private property boundary
and not within the publicly
owned terrace area.
Rau stressed that the
content of signs is not
being regulated, only their
illegal placement.
He said the day after

Thats the idea behind the
Oregon Area Senior Centers new My Meal, My

Oregon is the fourth site
in Dane County to be added to the program, in which
the county partners with a
local restaurant to provide
a weekly meal for seniors.
The cost including the tip
is based on anonymous
donations, so everyone
can take part regardless of

first session was attended by
around 50 people, including
Village President Steve Staton and Dane County Executive Joe Parisi.
Parisi told the Observer

for seniors to get out and be

If You Go
With equalized value in the Oregon

School District up 6.5 percent more than
anticipated this year, the projected cost
of the proposed teacher compensation
referendum has dropped.
Working off an earlier estimate of the
districts tax base, district officials had
previously projected the cost of the $1.5
million recurring referendum would be
around $112.50 per year for the average
assessed house in the district ($250,000).
With the actual number now known, that
number has dipped to $95.
The financial news continues to be
promising, district superintendent Brian Busler told school board members
Village of Oregon
Ice arena gets permanent license

BILL LIVICK
The Oregon Ice Arena

now has a permanent license
to sell beer and wine during
Wisconsin Whalers hockey
games.
The Village Board voted unanimously Monday to
grant the facility a license
with a long list of conditions,
including that no alcohol will
be advertised or stored on the
premises while Oregon High
School students are present. The high school runs its
OASIS alternative education
program in the facility but
plans to remove the program
and put it back in the high
school building next year.
The arenas alcohol agent,
Shaun Peterson, who had
been granted that status the
week before, and Whalers
coach Tom McDermott had
previously told the board
that both the facility and the
Whalers need the revenue
from alcohol sales.
On Sept. 12, the board
granted a temporary alcohol
license whats known as a
picnic license for the Whalers first home game of the
season. That trial run went
off without problems, Peterson told the board.
But despite approving
Peterson as the agent, trustees wanted to give Village
President Steve Staton time
to discuss the matter with
superintendent Brian Busler
before voting on the OIAs
application.
Staton reported Monday
he had spoken with Busler
and School Board president
Steve Zach. He said both told
him that the School Board
preferred that alcohol not
be sold in the arena until

space there, but a School
Board vote in August was not
in opposition to the idea.
The ice arena held a regular liquor license during its
first few years of operation,
when it was run as the Oregon Community Sports Arena. The board that ran the
sports arena voluntarily gave
up the license.
In July 2013, the facility became a nonprofit and
changed its name to Oregon
Ice Arena Inc. It applied
again for a regular liquor
license in the summer of
2015 but withdrew the application after rink manager
Ben Cowan, whod been
representing the ice arena
before the Village Board,
was arrested for his fourth
drunken-driving offense.
The Oregon Ice Arena applied for a temporary
license in September 2015,
hoping to sell beer and wine
at two Whalers games, but
the Village Board denied the
request.

the ice arena board of directors would soon apply for a

him as its agent, which it did
in September.
He told the Village Board
he would remove alcohol
from the ice arena when the
Whalers arent playing, have

deliveries made outside of
school hours, and would
remove all beer advertising

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 presidential election on Nov. 8, general
election letters need to be submitted by Oct. 24 and will be
printed by Oct. 27. 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.
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.

Take a close look at the

Profiler in the Mirror
B
lack Lives Matter. White
privilege. Racist police.
And the dreaded basket
of deplorables.
Racial issues are once again
a hot topic in this nation as
they should be. The brotherhood
Martin Luther King envisioned
a half-century ago remains a
dream for all too many citizens.
In theory, this should not be
the case.
Legalized
forms of racial
discrimination
have been
stricken from
the books in
many cases
replaced by
requirements
Noeldner
that give racial
minorities a
leg-up to compensate for past
grievances. There are no explicit
red-lines on municipal zoning
maps anymore.
We even elected and
re-elected a president whose
father was black.
But when measured in real
lives and real outcomes, great
chasms remain. Illegitimacy.
Poverty. Education. Unemployment. Incarceration.
And violence, all over the
news, especially when the
police are involved. The media
are saturated with videos that
make your stomach turn.
It can seem like these terrible
things are happening far away
from places like Oregon, Wisconsin. But that doesnt stop us
from forming our own conclusions or wanting to come down
on the side of justice.
Hence liberal-leaning whites
(like me) who live in peaceful
middle-class neighborhoods
(like my own) find it awfully
tempting to sit around coffee
tables and Facebook pages and
pass judgment on police officers
who are trying to maintain law
and order in places we ourselves
avoid. Madison Metros South
Transfer Point. The Allied
Drive neighborhood. And huge
sections of Milwaukee and Chicago.
We expect the police to keep
the peace in those places, but
God forbid they ever engage in
anything which smells of profiling.
Hold on. What other word

describes our own reluctance
to enter those bad neighborhoods, much less move there
and enroll our children in the
local schools?
Can any of us truthfully say
our sense of a neighborhoods
badness has nothing whatsoever to do with the appearance
of its denizens? We tend to
instinctively fear places where
the people dont look or act
like us especially when the
safety of our own children is at
stake. Its the same instinct that
so often drives us to lock our
offspring inside those motorized
fortresses we call automobiles.
Also consider the flip side of
the coin i.e. the fierce resistance to densification we see
throughout suburban and smalltown America.
True, concerns about race are
seldom voiced in public, but
there is no comparable taboo
against expressing fears that
Section 8 housing looms just
around the corner if a proposed
development goes through. And
yet its rare for local champions
of property rights to stand up
and point out the irony of protecting surrounding property
values by severely capping any
prospects for significant appreciation.
Certainly there are valid reasons to worry about densification. People who live in Section 8 housing tend to commit
more crimes and engage in more
destructive and objectionable
behaviors than people who live
in single-family, owner-occupied neighborhoods.
It is easy to call such a statement racist if you have no
skin in the game. It isnt easy if
its next door.
The truth is, we all profile.
Indeed, life often requires that
we form judgments about people based on very little information. And most of us would
rather avoid risks than rush
headlong toward them.
These instincts are human
nature; they have been essential
for survival. But they should not
run the show.
In order to end these racial
conflicts we have to recognize
our inherent biases and work
with them.
First, we should not establish

lofty standards for the police
that we ourselves will not
honor, nor should we focus on
police-on-black violence while
turning a blind eye to far higher
levels of black-on-black crime.
Expressing outrage over
police conduct to prove that we
ourselves are not racist might
score points with our Facebook
friends, but it does absolutely
nothing to bring peace and order
to people who need it most.
Second, we need to recognize
that life is much more complicated than any sophomoric
ideology. It is not merely hypocritical to demonize all forms of
profiling, it is unproductive.
As things stand right now, it
seems prudent for some black
people to be wary of police officers. Thats profiling.
It may be prudent for you
and me to be wary of some
neighborhoods (which is to say,
wary of the people who occupy
them). Thats profiling.
Meanwhile, the police have
little choice but to be wary of
almost everyone they dont
know (in addition to some they
do). They have to rely on the
best indicators of risk that are
available. Thats profiling.
It is the knowing part that
is key to healing our nations
wounds. If we encounter members of other races or cultures
whom we do not know under
circumstances where we do not
feel safe, we would be fools to
not be cautious. But we should
not rush to conclusions.
The possibility of brotherhood
lives in our willingness to seek
and form bonds with strangers.
That means setting aside as
many assumptions as we can
whether based on skin color
or level of education or even
a Donald Trump sign in their
front yard.
Approaching each person as
an individual rather than a category means getting way out
of our comfort zones. And that
is something our police and
teachers and government cannot
possibly do for us.

Oregon resident.

Parisi is asking to add

more school districts outside of Madison to expand
upon the Dane County Mental Health Crisis
Teams established in 2013.
To h e l p c o m b a t t h e
effects of mental illness, Parisi is also proposing adding $100,000
to the Community Crisis
Response program budget.
The effects of mental
illness are far reaching,
affecting classrooms, families, and workplaces, he
said. Citing increasing
incidents of gun violence,
Parisi is proposing an additional team leader to the

Focusing on unprecedented investments for the

and shoring up critical
infrastructure, Dane County Executive Joe Parisis
proposed 2017 budget is
now on the table for county
board members to amend.
The budget, issued Sept.
26 and titled, An Investm e n t f o r o u r F u t u r e ,
totals $585 million:
about $500,000 under the
state-imposed levy cap.
The county will hold a
public hearing Oct. 19 and
typically votes on the budget in November.
In the news release, Parisi focused on several topics
addressed in the proposed

gangs and gun violence,
opiates, homelessness and

Whistle While You Work

Music is truly a universal language. We dont need
to understand the lyrics to know whether a song is
happy or sad because the music literally speaks the
language of our souls, pulling our heartstrings or
uplifting our spirits in the process. It is amazing how
readily our spirits can be moved by music. Armies
have harnessed the power of music for centuries with
marching music and fight songs, and we all know
the power of music to make us weep. Under the right
circumstances, a sad song will move everybody to
tears. One of the more potent uses of music is to help
us complete our work, especially when the work is
long and hard. When armies march, theres a reason
they sing cadences; it keeps them all in step and it
motivates them. For work that were not particularly
enthusiastic about, a happy upbeat song can keep us
going. Most activities can be improved with the right
music, so whether you are literally or figuratively
dancing to the music, sing a song unto the Lord and
use music to enhance your life.
Christopher Simon, Metro News Service
Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord,
always giving thanks to God the Father for everything,
in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Ephesians

Stepping up at state
Player of the

From Oct. 3-10
Panthers shoot a
season-best 336 to
finish fifth overall
Anthony Iozzo
Assistant sports editor
It was a special year for the

Oregon High School girls golf
team, and the teams final round
was the best yet.
While expectations were high
this season, head coach Tom
Boockmeier said that the Panthers WIAA Division 1 state
tournament exceeded all of
them.
Oregon shot a season-best
3 3 6 Tu e s d a y a t U n ive r s i t y
Ridge Golf Course to follow up
a 355 on Monday, and the Panthers took fifth overall with a
691.
It is a pretty cool feeling for
them and a pretty cool feeling
for me as well, knowing that it
came together all at the right
time, Boockmeier. This is the
best field of the year. This is the
state tournament.
Senior Taylor McCorkle was
the leader all season long as
she carried momentum from
earning Player of the Year on
the Wisconsin Junior PGA tour
over the summer.
But on Tuesday, it was the
other team members that picked
her up.

improving and to hear how they
shot today in their last high
school round of the year, it was
really nice, Taylor McCorkle
said.
Taylor McCorkle still finished tied for 11th overall with
a 158 (77-81), but her second
round was over her season average.
While that tends to hurt some
teams, the Panthers didnt even
flinch.
Sophomore Ally Payne finished with eight pars and eight

Highlights: Finished with a 73 to
win the Badger South Conference
tournament and finished as No. 1
All-Badger South Conference. She
also helped the Panthers finish
fifth as a team at state.
Sophomore Ally Payne tees off on the 16th hole Tuesday in the WIAA D1 state meet. Payne finished with an
84 in the second round and was tied for 43rd overall with a 181 for the tournament. The Panthers finished
fifth overall with a 691 (355-336).
bogeys to shoot an 84.
Sophomore Sydney McKee
was five-over on her final 14
holes after a tough start to finish with an 85, and junior Andi
McCorkle parred her final three
holes to get an 86.
We feed off of each other when we are doing good,
Payne said. We try to boost
each other, and the morale is
high when we are doing good.
Andi McCorkle ended up

32nd with a 172, and McKee
was 42nd with a 180. Payne finished tied for 43rd with a 181.
Sophomore Brooke McCallum whose scores were
thrown out both days also
improved on her first round
score with a 116, finishing 77th
with a 239.
It is good to see their games
peaking at the right time,
especially as a group all together, Boockmeier said.

Taylor McCorkle, who is
playing golf for North Dakota State next year, was a little teary-eyed after her round,
which concluding her high
school career.
She was glad she could be
here with her team one last
time.

The Oregon High School volleyball team

looked poised to make it far in Saturdays Badger South Conference tournament, despite only
winning one conference match during the regular season.
The Panthers began the day with a 2-1 (25-21,
22-25, 15-5) win over Madison Edgewood, earning some revenge from a loss earlier in the year,
and they took the first set over Monona Grove in
the next round.
In that first match, we were ready to play,
which isnt normally the case for us at 8 a.m.
during a tournament, head coach Katie Heitz
said. Against Edgewood and MG, we had really good tempo and feel for the ball. I think we
caught MG flat footed that first set. They were
kind of shocked with how we came out swinging.
But Oregon was edged 25-19 and 15-12 in the
next two sets to drop the first match of the day.
The Panthers then awaited their opponent,
which turned out to be Milton after the Red
Hawks eliminated Monroe.
Oregon defeated Milton during the season, Senior Liz Andriacchi (8), sophomore Emily Konop (5) and the rest of the Oregon High School

Kardelle Phillips caught two touchdowns Friday as the host Oregon

High School football team defeated
non-conference Reedsburg 21-0 for
its first win of the season.
We completed some passes early and that opened things up for our
passing game, head coach Dan
Kissling said. We were seeing teams
put eight and nine guys in the box and
we were having a hard time completing the passes. Kardelle had a great
game, and he can make big plays.
Phillips hauled in 16- and 45-yard
touchdown receptions in the second
half from Panthers quarterback Cedric
Girard, who replaced Steven Moravec
after he was knocked out for the rest
of the season two weeks ago against
Monroe. Girard completed six of
eight passes for 128 yards and a pair

up and shown our underclassmen and
juniors, whats expected.
Ania has such a great personality.

Panthers run to Baertschi title

Jeremy Jones
Sports editor
Oregon girls cross country

placed all five varsity scorers
in the top 22 Saturday to win
the Baertschi Invitational in
Albany.
Four tenths of a second is
all that separated freshman
Zoe Frank and sophomore
Lauren Beauchaine.
Frank once again led the
Panthers, finishing sixth overall in 21 minutes, 2.4 seconds.
Beauchaine followed .4 second later, taking seventh place
in 21:02.8.
Eight seconds separated
sophomore Kaity Kliminski
and freshmen Ana Verhagen
who finished 11th and 12th,
respectively.
Kliminski posted a time
of 21:13.8 to lead Verhagen
(21:21.9) to the finish line.

Fellow freshman Sarah
Adams was Oregons final
varsity scorer, taking 28th
place in 22:32.3.
Less than 1 minutes is
all that separated the Panthers
five varsity scorers.
Sophomore Julie Bull also
competed, but was not counted toward the team score.
Our teams 19-second gap
for our top four was extremely exciting and a positive sign
that the girls are trusting each
other, working together, and
starting to peak at the perfect time, head coach Doug
Debroux said.
Belleville senior Noelle
Maire won the meet in
19:18.5.
Platteville (80) and Monona
Grove (88) rounded out the
top three schools. Stoughton
finished sixth but was without Anna Wozniak, Clea Roe,

Grace Jenny and Aly Weum.
The Panthers return to
Stoughton for the second time
in three weeks at 10:10a.m.
Saturday for the Badger South
Conference meet. Oregon and
Stoughton are expected to
contend for the title.
In regards to conference
on Saturday, our focus has not
changed, Debroux said. We
are concerned daily with our
preparation both physically and mentally and we are
getting ready to do our absolute best race of the season at
conference.
We have the same expectation and mindset for every
girl on our team, and that is to
race with all of our hearts at
conference ... and the Oregon
girls are ready.
Boys cross country
Kugel bounces back to lead Panthers Saturday

Jeremy Jones
Sports editor
Senior Hudson Kugel

bounced back from an off day
a week ago to lead the Oregon
boys cross country team Saturday at the Baertschi Invitational in Albany.
Kugel posted a time of 17
minutes, 27.2 seconds for
sixth place out of the 11-team
field and fell 41 points shy of
ninth-ranked Monona Grove
with a team score of 62.
Hudson was able to position himself near the top of
the race from the very beginning, head coach Erik Haakenson said. Nearing the end
of the season, his endurance
has improved and he is now

able to remain near the top
throughout the entire 5k.
The Silver Eagles placed
all five varsity scorers in the
top eight for team score of 21.
Stoughton, which was without
Owen Roe and Tristan Jenny,
rounded out the top three with
a score of 81.
Seven seconds separated
Joshua Klahn (17:47.5) and
Sam Hakes (17:54.8) who finished as Oregons No. 2 and 3
runners, taking 10th and 12th
place.
Nathan Buchert (18:10.6.)
and Benjamin Lokuta
(18:22.1) rounded out the
all-senior top five, taking 16th
and 18th place, respectively.
Oregon junior Connor

Brickley and sophomore
Hogan Schulz also competed
but did not count toward the
teams score.
While the times may not
have reflected how well the
team ran as a whole, nearly
everyone had a great race,
Haakenson said. From the
junior varsity placing third to
varsity placing second. Everyone is peaking at the right
time in the season.
The Panthers travel back
to Stoughton High School
at 9:30a.m. for the Badger
South Conference meet.
The Badger Conference is
competitive as always, Haakenson said.
Volleyball: Regular season ends Thursday

set, but Milton, which pushed
eventual runner-up Stoughton
in their first match, came back
with a 25-22 win to force a
decisive third set.
The Panthers fell behind
7-2 but battled back to a 13-11
deficit, but the conference season came to a close in a 15-11
loss.
Although Oregon was hoping to make it further during
the tournament, there were
some positives throughout the
day, including the win over
Edgewood and the first set
against Monona Grove.
Senior Liz Andriacchi and
junior Alyssa Milski were
both hitting well, and sophomore Emily Konop did her
best in the back row. Sophomore Rachel Schofield also
made some plays in the win
over Edgewood and throughout the tournament.
Against Edgewood, Junior
Jenna Igl finished with three
blocks, while Milski had 10
kills. Konop collected 13 digs,
and sophomore Erin Flanagan led the Panthers with 23
assists and three aces.
Against MG, Milski had
two blocks and two aces, and
Andriacchi had nine kills. Flanagan picked up 24 assists,
and Konop added 14 digs.
In the last match against
Milton, Andriacchi had seven
kills and eight digs, while Flanagan added 21 assists.

Our passing game was
improving with Steven,
Kissling said. Our receivers
and him were getting better
each week. Now with Cedric we are starting over in
a sense, but he really did a
nice job Friday night taking
charge of the offense.
Cullen Gahagan rushed
for a team-best 95 yards on
11 carries and also caught
a pass for 41 yards. His
60-yard touchdown run gave
Oregon a 7-0 lead in the first
quarter.
Reedsburg, which typically has a very strong running
game, finished with 188
yards on 43 carries. The Beavers, who are already playoff
eligible, fell to 4-4 with the
loss.
Playing a team like
Reedsburg, you really need
to be disciplined against
the option and our kids did
an excellent job of preparing for them, Kissling
said. We learn a lot from
our playoff game last year
against Lake Geneva Badger, which runs the same
offense. Our kids really
stuck to our game plan.
We had a great week of
practice, and our kids have
been really positive. They
have come to practice and
worked their tails off, and
it was fun seeing them play
like that. As each minute
passed, they became very
confident in what they were
doing. They needed that.

In The Path Forward, school board members make the

Our community is becoming increasingly diverse. The

opportunities for success for all students.
Reflecting motivations
Learning and achievement, at any age, are more apt to
occur when learning opportunities reflect the interests and
motivations of learners.

Information is ubiquitous and easily obtained, thus the
role of education is to help our students learn how to find,
analyze and apply knowledge, rather than simply learn
content.
Mentors, coaches, facilitators

There is a balance between technology and personal
interaction. Technological tools enhance our ability to personalize learning; they do not diminish the importance of
educators, but rather reinforce the significant role of educators as mentors, coaches and facilitators of learning.
While looking to the

future, the school board also

Liquor: Store in former Alpine Liquors building
commented that the Village

Board worked many hours
to revise the sign code last
year and she would like it to
be enforced. Village President Steve Staton agreed,
and the board appeared to
have consensus.
Rau said he would instruct
his staff to remove signs
that are in the right-of-way
and that people could come
to Village Hall to get them
back.
My goal was to address
all the signs in a single day,
sort of a shot across the
bow, he told the board. I
did not knock on doors, and

to go on private property to
move a sign.

stores in three communities Lodi, Sauk and two
in Madison and plans to
open in the building that
formerly housed Alpine
Liquors.
He and another liquor
s t o r e ow n e r, Pa t r i c k
Machovec, had both
applied for a license to
open a store at the site.
T h e Vi l l a g e B o a r d
rejected Machovecs bid
on Sept. 19, citing what
Police Chief Brian Uhl
characterized as a record
of habitual criminality. (Machovecs attorney
has filed an open records
request with the village in
the case.)
The board didnt spend
much time discussing
Namasivayams application. Staton praised his

record as a liquor store
owner, which Uhl said
consists of only two violations in more than two
decades.
But the board attached
a number of conditions in
approving Namasivayams
application: that he obtains
a lease for the building,
obtains a sellers permit
from the state and that the
village receives evidence
that the lease which has
been held by Machovec
is terminated.
Justin Oeth, an attorney
for the buildings owners, Gary and Kathy Suter, told the board he is in
the process of terminating
Machovecs lease, which
was to expire Aug. 31 if he
had not obtained a license

to sell alcohol in the village. Oeth told the Observer on Tuesday that hes in
the process of notifying
Machovec that his lease is
being terminated.
Namasivayam told the
board he has a sellers permit, but its inactive until
he begins operating the
new store.
He and Machovec
first appeared before the
Vi l l a g e B o a r d i n e a rly August, each seeking
a license to open at the
North Main Street site.
