Village of Oregon
Board adopts
ethics code
Bill livick
Unifed Newspaper Group
The Village Board last week
adopted a Code of Ethics for
village officials and candidates
that prohibits them from taking
any official action that could
financially benefit themselves,
a family member or an organi-
zation with which theyre asso-
ciated.
The new code also prohibits
officials from disclosing infor-
mation discussed in a closed
session until the information is
determined to be an open record
available to the public under the
open records and/or open meet-
ings laws.
The new code is a direct result
of concerns that were aired about
the possibility of unethical behav-
ior by specific trustees because of
family connections.
It allows the board to sanc-
tion violators with a reprimand
or other disciplinary action (up
to and including a determining
that the violation is cause for
removal from office) and/
or imposition of a fine up to
$1,000 per offense.
The board tightened language

The change has been in the
works for a couple of years but

When Ted Stuntebeck and
his 11-year-old daughter, Lexi,
move into their new house next
week, they will be the 10th area
family since 2008 to have a
home built by volunteers.
The Oregon/Brooklyn sat-
ellite of Dane County Habitat
for Humanity began working
on the single-story house on
Second Street in the Village of
Brooklyn last September.
The project is near comple-
tion, and Stuntebeck is set to
formally purchase the home at
an April 25 closing. But first
is Habitats traditional House
Blessing Ceremony on Satur-
day, when roughly 100 volun-
teers who worked on the home
get together to celebrate.

On course for development
Oregon Golf Association is born with middle school golf club
anthony iozzo
Assistant sports editor
When the Wisconsin Golf
Federation was born in 2012
t o pr omot e yout h gol f ,
president and Oregon High
School boys and girls golf
head coach Ben Cowan felt it
was time to help start some-
thing similar on a local level.
Though junior programs
existed at Foxboro Golf
Course and t he Leg-
end at Bergamont, there
wasnt a unified youth
program tied to any Ore-
gon schools. But a meeting
a few months ago at Mulligans
with local golf parents, includ-
ing Dave Koch, Eric Halverson,
Robert Tarantino and James
Pechauer, changed that.
I tried to get the people that
I knew were involved in golf
in our area and try to get the
people involved locally in our
area and just to see what they
thought, Cowan said.
Cowan pi t ched hi s i dea,
and the Oregon Golf Associa-
tion was born, along with an ini-
tial club for sixth-, seventh- and
eighth-graders. That club which
consists of practices, education
and opportunities for matches
began last Tuesday and will run
for the next six weeks.
It doesnt need to be sophis-
ticated. It can be as simple as,
Hey, we are going to hold some
practices and get the kids play-
ing and give them an opportunity
to play in some tournaments,
Cowan said. Ideally, I would
like to see this progress into
what is now the Oregon Youth
Hockey Association or Ore-
gon Youth Soccer, where we
have hundreds of kids partici-
pating and playing golf.
Thats the eventual goal. But
for now, the association is in its
early stages and just hav-
ing five players join the
club would be deemed a
success.
In the future, my goal
is to structure like some of the
other programs do, where we
have kids at 5 years old in our
learn-to-play program and we
have kids at 8 years old playing
in our mite program, if we struc-
ture it like hockey, he said.
Until then, Cowan said he just
hopes to give young golfers an
opportunity to play.
I wish I would have had that
opportunity as a kid, and if I can
say that now, I know I am on the
right track, he said.
Middle School Golf Club
The first step for the associa-
tion is the Middle School Golf
Club, which also adds sixth-
graders to join the seventh- and
eighth-graders, and the first meet-
ing was Tuesday.
The program pl ans t o run
throughout the spring, about six

more than 325 hours of what
Habitat calls sweat equity.
You can do that in a
number of ways, but I want-
ed to be out there building
the house, he said. It was
really cool and rewarding to
work on my own house.
Longtime volunteer coor-
dinator Bernie Treichel of
Oregon said Stuntebeck
worked hard on the project
and definitely kept his part
of the bargain with Habitat.
Ted has been a wonder-
ful prospective homeowner,
she said. He needed to get
325 hours in. Hes already
gotten that in and hes still
working at the site. And hes
a great worker.
Milestones
2013 marks the 25-year
point since the first Habi-
tat build in the Oregon-
Brooklyn area which was
also the first build in Dane
County. That first home
was built in Brooklyn on
Railroad Street in 1988.
At the time, Treichel was
just beginning as the vol-
unteer coordinator. She has
continued in that role over the
years and has seen the orga-
nization evolve from a local
affiliate to whats now called
the Oregon-Brooklyn satellite
of the Dane County Affiliate.
We changed the name to
the Dane County Affiliate
in 1991, and now were the
Oregon/Brooklyn satellite,
she explained.
In t he begi nni ng, t he
local organization was run
completely by volunteers.
Then in the mid-1990s, it
began adding paid staff and
Treichels role was taken
over by a paid coordinator.
She continued to vol-
unteer for Habitat in vari-
ous ways, and when the
Oregon/Brooklyn satellite
was established in 2003,
she again took on the job of
coordinating the volunteers
for the local builds.
She has kept at it because,
she said, quality affordable
housing, like good food and
health, is one of the basic
necessities of life. And she
enjoys working with the
homeowners and volun-
teers.
What keeps me going
is people being so wonder-
ful about saying yes, well
come and help, she said.
Hardly retired
One such person is Cal
Gilbertson, who has served
as the project manager for all
10 of the homes built by the
Oregon/Brooklyn satellite
since 2008.
Treichel said although Gil-
bertson is retired, he works
almost full-time managing
the projects when the local
satellite is building a home.
Thats true, he said, but he
enjoys the work and all the
friends hes made since step-
ping into the position.
Youre responsible to
make sure the lumber is
there and all the supplies and
everything when the volun-
teers are there, because they
want to work when they get
there, Gilbertson said. I
really like the volunteering
and the camaraderie that the
volunteers often have. You
cant believe the number of
friends you make and friends
you never had before you did
this.
Gilbertson, who retired
from a career at Fabco Equip-
ment Inc. on Jan. 1, 2001,
said the Stuntebecks home
will likely be the last build he
manages, although hed like
to continue to volunteer.
Im thinking I wont
manage any more builds but
will continue to volunteer,
he said.
In the years since forming
the Oregon/Brooklyn satel-
lite, a core group of eight to
12 retired men has played a
key role in the homebuilding.
Gilbertson said the oldest is
in his 80s and the youngest
is about 60.
Most of the guys have
well over 100 hours on this
project as volunteers, he
said.
They t ypi cal l y wor k
together Wednesdays and
Thursdays, and some join the
larger Saturday groups.
St unt ebeck sai d hes
become friends with many of
those volunteers and added he
was surprised at how quickly
his home has been built. He
credited that, in part, to that
core group of volunteers.
Usually it takes nine
months or a little longer,
he said. Mine was ahead of
schedule, largely because
(the group has) been working
really well together and very
efficiently for a long time.
Gilbertson said he got
involved initially because he
was newly retired and had
some free time.
I like to make things and
I like to work with wood, he
added.
He also learned a lot about
homebuilding in the past five
years.
I wouldnt do it for other
people, but I wouldnt be
afraid to do my own house,
he said.

High school graduation rates inch up slightly
legacy rate about
average for county,
higher than state
Seth Jovaag
Graduation rates at Ore-
gon High School inched up
last year.
Of 304 seniors in 2010-
11, 93.3 percent graduated
using the four-year rate,
or the percentage of students
who obtained their degree
within four years, according
to data released last week
by the state Department
of Public Instruction. That
compares with 93 percent
last year and 89.1 percent in
2009-10.
Last years graduation
rate reached 95.5 percent
when using the legacy
rat e, whi ch fact ors i n
students who obtain their
degrees later, either because
they are special-education
students or because they
finished their work after
their senior year ended.
Thats up from one-tenth of
a percent from the previous
year and up from 91.5 per-
cent for 2009-2010.
Di st ri ct l eaders have
made graduation rates a pri-
ority after the legacy rate
dipped to an all-time low
of just under 90 percent in
2007-08.
I n 2008, t he di st r i ct
added OASIS, the high
schools alternative high
school program, which has
helped boost graduation
rates. Several other pro-
grams in recent years have
targeted students deemed
at-risk of dropping out.
Ninety percent of stu-
dent s from l ow-i ncome
homes earned diplomas last
year, too, up from 86 per-
cent last year and just 71.4
percent two years earlier.
This years OHS gradu-
ation rate ranks slightly
below the middle of the
pack compared to 15 Dane
County high schools out-
si de of Madi son. Ei ght
schools had higher lega-
cy rates; six were lower,
according to DPI figures.
Using the four-year rate,
OHS outpaced five schools
and t r ai l ed ni ne. OHS
topped all Madison high
schools in both categories.
Data for this years grad-
uating class wont be avail-
able until next spring.
St at ewi de, t he 4-year
graduation rate rose half
a percentage point to 87.5
percent last year, accord-
ing to a DPI news release.
The legacy rate rose was
up one-tenth of a percent to
90.6.
in the code by removing the
word substantial in a sen-
tence that reads no official
may use his or her public
office to obtain financial
gain or anything of substan-
tial value for private ben-
efit.
It also narrowed the defi-
nition of immediate fam-
ily to mean a persons
spouse or a relative by
marriage, lineal descent or
adoption. The term immedi-
ate family member is looser
and more complicated as
defined in the state statute
covering ethics violations.
The board adopted the
new code on a 5-1 vote,
with only trustee Darlene
Groenier voting against it.
Trustee David Donovan
was absent.
Groenier had previous-
ly told the Observer she
felt the policy was unfair
because it would prohibit
her from discussing or vot-
ing on projects that involve
her son, Jeff, an architect
and local property owner,
who is also a member of the
Planning Commission.
Jeff Groenier routinely
steps away from the table
and does not discuss or vote
on matters that he is direct-
ly involved with, but in
the past his mother has not
always done the same.
On Monday, she repeated
that she has never benefited
financially from her sons
projects. But Groenier said
she understands peoples
concerns and would comply
with the new code. She said
she intends, however, to
seek clarification from the
village attorney on some
issues.
Village President Steve
Staton introduced the idea
of adopting an ethics code
that is specific to village
officials earlier this year
after hearing concerns that
some trustees may be dis-
cussing and voting on mat-
ters that create the percep-
tion of unethical behavior.
I think its important
that we be as transparent as
we can and that there be no
appearance of favoritism to
a person who is related to
a village official, Staton
told the Observer after last
weeks vote. I think this
code will do that. The main
thing (it accomplishes) is
that if a family member
comes before the board
with an issue or a project,
the trustee (related to that
person) needs to step down
and not take part in the dis-
cussion or the vote.
Prior to imposing a rem-
edy or sanction, the board is
required to give the person
accused of a violation an
opportunity to defend him
or herself. The code also
stipulates that it is not the
responsibility of village
staff nor the village attor-
ney to enforce this chapter,
or to investigate, present or
respond to alleged viola-
tions or complaints arising
under the ethics policy.
The policy also allows
any village official to seek
an advisory opinion from
the village attorney on any
matter, and largely prohib-
its the attorney from mak-
ing public the identity of
an individual requesting an
opinion.

Village of Oregon
Commission holds comp plan hearing
The Oregon Pl anni ng
Commission will hold a
public hearing on the vil-
lages comprehensvie plan
and future land use map at
6 p.m. Monday, April 22 at
Village Hall.
On March 7, the com-
mission voted in favor of
a land use map that would
preclude the type of devel-
opment density that Fidu-
ciary Real Estate Develop-
ment, owners of the Legend
at Bergamont, had needed
in order to go ahead with a
plan toconstruct 160 apart-
ments in 10 buildings on
the villages far west side.
The commission proposed
giving Fiduciary some of
what it wanted by recom-
mending changes to a future
land-use map that would des-
ignate a few acres as Planned
Mixed Use. That would per-
mit the type of multifam-
ily housing construction the
developer is hoping for. But
Fiduciary hoped to get the
designation for almost nine
acres. Instead, the commis-
sion is recommending that
most of the property be des-
ignated for duplexes (Two-
Family Residential), which
would not allow the type of
density the developer would
need to fulfill its plan.
The Planning Commission
is recommending those and
other changes to the Village
of Oregon Comprehensive
Plan. After next weeks pub-
lic hearing on the matter, the
Village Board is expected
to vote on the commissions
recommendation at its meet-
ing on May 6.

Opinion
P
olitical rhetoric has
gotten much uglier lately.
i recently came across a
story in the Milwaukee Journal
Sentinel in which Daniel Bice
reported comments by Sen. Ron
Johnson, speaking to Jefferson
county Republicans at an annual
lincoln Day Dinner.
in a tactic reminiscent of
the late Sen. Joseph Mccar-
thy, Johnson
smeared any-
one espousing
progressive
sentiments.
He suggested
that liberals,
progressives,
Democrats,
socialists and
Marxists
whatever they
call themselves these days,
arent patriots or people who
love freedom or this country.
these remarks are as
unfounded and absurd as they
are offensive. Wisconsin has
a long and proud progressive
tradition, going back to the turn
of the last century, and a former
Republican president, theodore
Roosevelt, was one of the first
to advocate universal health-
care, now being attacked as
socialism by Johnson and his
tea Party fellow travelers.
a Republican-controlled
Wisconsin legislature, in 1911,
passed the first progressive
income tax, workers compensa-
tion, regulation of the railroads
and campaign finance reform.
Gov. Francis McGovern, a
Republican, assailed giant cor-
porations, which he said all too
frequently put arbitrary power
in the hands of a few who have
used this power to oppress the
people and debauch their gov-
ernment.
im sure Johnson would now
decry all of these pronounce-
ments as socialist-inspired, yet
abraham lincoln, in whose hon-
or this dinner was held, in his
first speech as an illinois state
legislator, in 1837, decried capi-
talists who he said generally act
harmoniously and in concert to
fleece the people.
in 1936, time Magazine
featured Milwaukees socialist
Mayor, Dan Hoan, on its cover
and hailed him as one of the
nations ablest public servants
saying that under him Milwau-
kee has become perhaps the best
governed city in the U.S.
Hoan, who served as mayor
of Milwaukee for 24 years, was
re-elected five times. Under his
leadership Milwaukee gained a
reputation for clean government
and was known for its low crime
rates, low per-capita cost of
government and bond indebted-
ness along with excellent parks,
libraries and social services.
is this the socialism Ron
Johnson wants us to be fearful
of?
if using tax dollars to pay
for healthcare is socialism,
what about our parks, libraries,
streets, schools and military?
its time to drop the labels and
childish name-calling and start
talking about practical policies
to put people back to work and
close the tax loopholes that have
allowed too many millionaires to
avoid paying their fair share of
the cost of the services they use
to make their millions.
and it was Wall Street specu-
lators, not socialists, who drove
our economy into the ditch.
Sadly, in his comments, John-
son has shown himself to be as
ignorant of his own partys his-
tory as he is out of touch with
the citizens of Wisconsin.

Libraries have adapted to support
Wisconsins communities
W
iSconSinS public,
school, academic, and
special libraries have
adapted to provide services and
resources tailored to a changing
world in a challenging economy.
Despite tight budgets and increas-
ing demands, our libraries provide
new and improved means to access
learning and information as well as
innovative new services to support
local needs.
the american library associa-
tion and libraries across the nation
are observing
national library
Week, april
14-20. the
theme this year,
communities
Matter at Your
library, rings
especially true
because librar-
ies of all types
support lifelong
learning and reinforce the common
good, now and into the future.
i am proud that libraries through-
out the state continue to provide
exceptional and innovative services,
even under trying economic condi-
tions, facing increasing demands,
often with decreasing budgets.
the states libraries have provid-
ed essential services to support and
develop a competitive workforce,
with computers, internet access,
digital and traditional literacy train-
ing, and other resources to help
citizens of all ages learn to find,
evaluate, and use information they
need for their education, their per-
sonal lives, their health and well-
being, and their jobs.
as our schools incorporate more
digital learning, school media spe-
cialists are often the go-to people to
support and train teachers as well
as assist in developing new learning
content. and our public libraries
increasingly support early learning,
so that children entering our schools
have a good foundation in language
skills and learning concepts.
Wisconsins public libraries tailor
their services to the communities
that establish and operate them. the
librarians work with their trustees,
elected officials, small business
owners, students, and the public
at large to discover the needs of
their communities and meet them.
Whether through new electronic
resources and technology classes,
materials for English-language
learners, programs for job seekers,
or support for early literacy, librar-
ians listen to the communities they
serve, and they respond.
certainly communities mat-
ter at your library. So in honor of
national library Week, i encourage
everyone to visit your local library,
thank the staff, and let them know
that libraries also matter in your
community.

Would you rather live in

Hans noelder never
ceases to entertain!
Perhaps noelder should
ask folks in the under-
developed world whether
theyd rather live without cell
phones, light bulbs, penicil-
lin, insulin, the polio vaccine,
nitrogen fertilizers, etc., all
of which were developed in
north america or Europe.
With a nod to Margaret
thatcher, Mr. noelder
would rather have the poor
be poorer so long as the
rich were less rich. the
poor, though, surely do
not see it that way.

Poet Mark Kraushaar will

ing to his online biogra-
phy. after traveling and
living in Vermont, Bos-

an oregon program
that helps local residents
in need got a big boost
recently.
oregon residents and
chur ches r ai sed mor e
than $10,000 in donations
between november and
March to the Helping
Hands Fund administered
by St. Johns lutheran
church.
that earned the fund
a $5,000 matching grant
from the thrivent Finan-
cial for lutherans Foun-
dation, which had already
provided a $5,000 grant to
the fund last fall. add it up
and the fund swelled by
more than $20,000 in less
than six months.
thats a lot of money,
and yet it goes so fast
because the need is there,
said St. Johns lead pastor
Paul Markquart.
last year, coordinators
doled out $12,100 to about
100 families in the oregon
School District to help
pay for rent, utility bills or
other necessities, said St.
Johns financial accoun-
tant Shirley Schiffner.
the fund was officially
established in 2007, and
other local congregations
began to funnel donations
to it in late 2011, accord-
ing to St. Johns applica-
tion for the thrivent grant.
local need for financial
assistance has grown since
the economy soured in
2008, Markquart said.
i think in some respects
theres a perception here
in oregon that the needy
are maybe not in our midst
except for those who
maybe arent trying hard
enough, he said. thats
not been my experience.
Job losses, medical bills
or reduced hours at work
can suddenly force resi-
dents into hard times. By
helping pay rent or other
bills, the fund can get peo-
ple out of that cycle and
back on track, Markquart
said.
We try to use this fund
judiciously to help people
get out of that desperate
situation and stand on their
own feet again, he said.
What i keep remind-
ing people is that these
are not just the nameless
or faceless poor, Mark-
quart said. these are our
friends and neighbors.
the fund is open to dis-
trict residents who can set
up an appointment with
Markquart or St. Johns
associate pastor Emily
tveite by calling 835-
3154 to see if they qualify.
the fund complements
the oregon/Brooklyn Food
Pantry and a similar pro-
gram the neighbors in
need of assistance fund,
or nina run by Dane
county social worker Joe
Sullivan. nina also helps
residents cover utility or
rent bills or other necessi-
ties but is limited to fami-
lies with minor children.
Demand for assistance
from nina had steadi-
ly increased from about
$19,000 in 2008 to about
$30,000 in 2011 but fell to
just over $20,000 last year,
Sullivan said. He didnt
know exactly why demand
dropped but hoped it was a
sign of an improving econ-
omy.
Still, both funds fill a
major need in the commu-
nity, Sullivan and Mark-
quart said. and Markquart
added that local pastors
are grateful to the commu-
nity for stepping up dona-
tions to match the thrivent
grant.
its really heartwarm-
ing for us as pastors to set
that, he said.

In Praise of Marriage
There is much to say in praise of the institution of marriage.
Beyond the purely practical reason that two can live almost as
cheaply as one, there is a great benefit in having two parents to
help in raising children. The unmarried birth rate in the United
States is now over 40%, and most of Americas poor children live
in single-parent homes. The prospects for impoverished children
who are being raised by a single parent are bleak compared to
their wealthier counterparts with two parents. They are more likely
to drop out of school, be incarcerated, and to have children while
they themselves are still children, all of which perpetuates the cycle
of poverty. This is an old story, and it seems hard to tell it without
sounding like a fusty old moralizer. But, perhaps there is good
reason for old-fashioned morality here. Human beings are born
helpless, we usually die helpless, and there are lots of occasions
in between where we need help. That is a pretty good reason for
getting married, as if being in love and wanting to spend the rest of
your life with someone arent reason enough.
Two are better than one, because they have a good return for
their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up.
But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.

They built this city
3-D project is real-world math perspective for NKE students
Amy Smith
Observer correspondent
Netherwood Knoll Ele-
ment ary fourt h-graders
gained a real-life lesson in
measurements this month.
They applied their knowl-
edge of area, perimeter,
scale, fractions and percent-
ages to create their own
three-dimensional city, then
displayed it for parents last
week.
Fourth-grade math teach-
ers Meghan Konopacki
and Sue Jerzewski said the
hands-on project, called
We Built This City, gave
students of all learning
styles the opportunity to
excel.
Jerzewski explained that
students have many dif-
ferent learning styles that
todays curriculum doesnt
always accommodate.
This project let many
different learners shine,
Konopacki said. This is
my 10th year teaching, and
this is the most rewarding
project Ive ever done.
Each student first filled
out a building application
listing their building inter-
est, which they needed to
gain approval from by their
teacher. They then fol -
lowed a strict design pro-
cess, which included apply-
ing for a building permit
from Principal Dan Rikli,
who acted as the building
inspector.
Once approved, students
began the actual building
stage.
Using a scale of 1 inch to
10 feet, the students con-
structed anything from sin-
gle-story homes to airports
to farms. They could either
work in groups or alone.
During the course of the
two-week unit, a profes-
sional architect and con-
t ract or al so vi si t ed t he
classroom to share real-life
experiences.
We really wanted to
get students thinking about
their future to see if maybe
this would be something
that interests them, Kono-
packi said.
Konopacki added that
the two teachers definitely
plan to repeat the project in
future years.
I dont think Ive ever
seen them so engaged, she
said.

Young scientists from Oregon Middle
School and Oregon High School recently
fared well at both regional and state compe-
titions of the Science Olympiad.
The Olympiad competitions are often
described as academic track meets and
comprise a series of about two-dozen team
events, where students compete individu-
ally or as partners.
Fourteen students on the OMS team,
which included grades 6-8, competed in the
regional competition Feb. 9 at Waunakee
Middle School and won numerous medals.
Students earning awards included:
-Kim Gehrmann and Mya Lebakken,
who won first place in the crime busters
category
-Ben Lakota and Sam Miess, first in
sounds of music
-Jennifer Eisert, first in mousetrap vehi-
cle
-Miess, third in metric mastery
-Lakota and Mike Higgins, third in
Reach for the Stars
-Gehrmann, fourth in food science
Twelve students then competed March
16 at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh.
Award winners there included:
-Gehrmann, first in food science
-Lakota and Miess, second in sounds of
music
-Miess, second in water quality
-Miess and Reinhard Kessenich, second
in rocks and minerals and fifth in metric
mastery
-Lebakken and Gerhmann, second in
crime busters
-Eisert, fifth in mousetrap vehicle
Other team members included Michael
Ramin, Matthew Lampman, Jayme Zander,
Nic Tierman, Isaac Ebert, Clara Nickel and
Hannah Sears.
The OMS team was coached by science
teacher Tim Paneitz with help from parent
volunteers.
Fifteen members of the OHS team com-
peted at regionals Feb. 16 in Madison and
at state Saturday, April 13, in Milwaukee.
Earning regional awards were:
-Jamie Wood and Morgan McCorkle,
first place, forensics
-Zack Petrie, first, gravity vehicle
-Nick Adler and Wilhelm Kessenich,
second, radio lab
-Caylan Laundrie and Jason Fourdraine,
third, circuit lab
OHS students were shut out of the state
awards, given to top-six finishers, though
Adler and Kessenich placed seventh in
radio lab.
Other team members included Jere Bau-
er, Trevor Caldwell, Sam Cutter, Megan
Eisert, Kayla Evans, Alex Knight, Bailey
Lubinsky, Jon Peterson, Mitch Spierings
and Kurt Stetzer. They were coached by
Nathan Johnson.

Junior pitcher Logan Laski hammers in a strike in the second inning Tuesday at Badger South Conference rival Stoughton. Laski pitched a complete game and held the
Vikings to two runs, but it wasnt enough in a 2-1 loss.
Panthers drop pitchers dual
Anthony Iozzo
Assistant sports editor
Oregon junior pitcher Logan
Laski and Stoughton junior pitcher
P.J. Rosowski both kept zeros on
the scoreboard Monday in a Badger
South Conference game at Stoughton
High School.
But with the game tied at one in the
bottom of the seventh, it was Stough-
ton sophomore Cade Bunnell who
hurt Laskis chance at a win.
Bunnell hit a soft grounder to sec-
ond base with one out and the bases
loaded in the bottom of the seventh.
The throw to home was late, and the
Vikings picked up a 2-1 win.
Head coach Kevin Connor said it
was great to see Laski pitch so well
on the mound and was nice to see
the defense step up behind him, but
in the end, Oregon has to score more
runs if it intends to be successful this
season.
We cant rely on our pitchers to
only give up two runs if we cant
score more than that, Connor said.
Obviously, (Rosowski) did a great
job, but I felt that we got into some
situations where we werent taking
advantage of fastballs early in the
count. I think we can do better.
Stoughton scored first, and with
the way Rosowski was pitching
holding Oregon to just two hits it
looked like Stoughton was on its way
to a shutout.
However, Laski was able to reach
first to lead off the top of the seventh
on a dropped third strike to start a
rally.
Junior Abe Maurice followed with
a bunt, but Stoughton senior Ben
Gerber threw the ball into his back
putting runners at the corners.
Junior Jack Krueger was then hit
by a pitch to load the bases and senior
Jack Kleitsch tied the game with a
sacrifice fly to left field that brought
Laski home.
Rosowski was able to get out of
the jam with two strikeouts to end the
inning, helping to set up the final at-
bat heroics for Stoughton.
That shows (Rosowskis) resil-
ience on the mound, Vikings head
coach Jeremy Dunnihoo said. Bases
loaded and one out, any time you can
get out of that and only give up one
run is big.
Rosowski went seven innings,
allowing the run and two hits. Roso-
wski also had a walk and hit a batter.
He took the mound like a true ace
today, Dunnihoo said.
The Vikings scored first in the bot-
tom of the sixth against Laski, who
was also holding his ground on the
mound.
Gerber started the inning off with
a bunt single, and Bunnell followed
with walk. Senior second baseman
Dane Schultz advanced both runners
with a sacrifice bunt, and senior Tony
Volk was intentionally walked to
load the bases.
Junior centerfielder Chris Lund
then hit a towering flyball to center
field, allowing Gerber to score.
Laski went 6 1/3 innings allowing
two runs on seven hits. He struck out
one and walked three.
Logan did a heck of a job pitch-
ing, and you cant ask for anything
more, Connor said.
Oregon also played Monday at
Milton, but the game was stopped
in the sixth due to rain and will be
made up on May 2 at Oregon before
the scheduled game against the Red
Hawks. Milton led 6-3.
Oregon travels to Monona Grove
at 5 p.m. Thursday and hosts Wis-
consin Lutheran and Madison La
Follette at 10 a.m. and noon, respec-
tively, Saturday. Oregon finishes
the week at 5 p.m. Monday at Fort
Atkinson and at 5 p.m. Tuesday at
Madison Edgewood.

Junior Jawon Turner won
the 200-meter dash and triple
jump Tuesday as the Pan-
thers finally got their outdoor
season underway, traveling
to Milton High School where
the Oregon boys posted an
80-66 Badger South Confer-
ence victory over the Red
Hawks.
Turner clocked a time of
24.23 seconds to take the 200
and then leapt 40 feet, 5 3/4
inches to secure the triple
jump.
Sophomore Brock Buck-
ner won the 100-meter dash
(:11.33), while Peter Kane
(2:19.74 ) and Jeff Jaeggi
(4:50.3) added the 800 and
1,600, respectively.
The Panthers final indi-
vidual win came in the high
jump where Lucas Mat-
thews cleared 6 feet.
Oregon went on to sweep
all four relays thanks in large
part to Lucas Knipfer, Turn-
er, Matthews and Buckner,
who won the 4x200 (1:34.8)
and 4x100 (:45.98) relays.
Vince Selvey, Isaac Nel-
son and Kane won the 4x800
(9:47.5), while Chris Cut-
ter, Jared Novitzke, Joe Milz
and Jaeggi won the 4x400 in
3:43.
I love track and field to
begin with, Oregon boys
head coach Ned Lease
said. Watching everyone
improve and compete tonight
was a beautiful thing.
Girls
Juniors Jamie Wood and
Ruby Carpenter both collect-
ed a pair of individual wins
as the Panthers doubled up
Milton 96-48.
Wood led a 1-2 Oregon
finish in the 200 (:27.2) and
also claimed the 400 (101.6).
Carpenter led another 1-2
finish by the Panthers, win-
ning the 300 hurdles in :54.9.
She then added the pole vault
with a clearance of 8 feet.
Lauren Wysocky and Car-
penter both proved invalu-
able on the Panthers relays as
well.
Wysocky teamed up with
Danielle Steinberg, Val
Jones and Wood to take the
4x400 relay in 4:21.3, while
Rebecca Zerbe, Brooke
Debroux and Carpenter
helped Oregon take the
4x800 in 11.16.
Carpenter, Maranda Rick-
er, Bailey Adkins and Halie
Osborne combined for a
first-place time of 2:01.5 in
the 4x200.
Osborne, Jones (hi gh
jump) and Adkins (triple
jump) helped the girls team
sweep the jump.
Osborne won the long
jump in 14-5, while Jones
cleared 5 feet to lead a 1-2
finish in the high jump.
Adkins secured the triple
jump with a distance of 29-4.
Katie Boehnen added Ore-
gons final individual win in
the discus (101-4).
Boys tennis
Doubles lineup helps Oregon smash Fort
Jeremy Jones
Sports editor
Wins came convincingly for the
Oregon boys tennis team in its sea-
son debut Tuesday in Fort Atkinson.
Led by wins at No. 2- 4 singles,
as well as a sweep of all three dou-
bles spots, the Panthers opened the
Badger South Conference season
with a 6-1 drubbing of the host
Blackhawks.
I think we found some doubles
teams for the moment, Oregon
head coach Ben Conklin said.
Wed been switching them around
at No. 1 and 2.
We now have Brian Johnson and
Nick Hepner at 1 doubles and Alex
Nasserjah and Adam Bessemer at 2
doubles.
Johnson and Hepner cruised to a
straight-set victory, 6-1, 6-1, while
Nasserjah and Bessemer rolled 6-3,
6-0.
Overall, it was a great night,
Conklin said. It was just great to
get a match in.
Junior Jackson Schneider dropped
his No. 1 singles match against
Andrew Dahl, 6-1, 6-0.
Dahl is a very good player ,who
played doubles for the majority of
last year, Conklin said. Dahl was
really on and Jackson was off.
Oregon was also supposed to play
a dual match against Reedsburg last
Thursday and at the Janesville Craig
invitational Saturday, but both
meets were postponed due to poor
weather conditions.
The Panthers also moved Thurs-
days dual at Portage to May 6.
They next play Friday and Satur-
day in the Madison East Invitation-
al.
Oregon finishes the week hosting
a Badger South dual against Madi-
son Edgewood.
That match is at 4:30 p.m.

weeks, and will consist of
one-and-a-half-hour practice
sessions at the Legend of Ber-
gamont, team participation
and a match against Stough-
ton middle-schoolers.
The cost of the program
is $150 and includes a Team
Adidas shirt. The next meet-
ing is at 6 p.m. Tuesday.
There will also be regional
tournaments that the program
will help participants sign up
for.
Depending on the success
of the club, Cowan said more
practices could be added.
We had to get some infor-
mation out and get people
talking about it, he said. I
wouldnt mind doing a whole
summer thing as well and
helping these kids play in
these junior tour events and
help them with transportation
and definitely get them back
in the fall to help with the fed-
eration events.
Team atmosphere
There are many other
aspects that go along with the
start of a youth club, and one
is the development of athletes
for high school and beyond.
The Oregon Youth Soccer
Association and the Oregon
Youth Hockey Association
both have high participation
numbers and several athletes
who continue to play into high
school.
Oregon soccer has had suc-
cess the past few seasons with
many starters who also went
through the youth programs
together including a state
berth for the Oregon boys in
the fall. All-State players Scott
Odorico and Colin McReavy
are among them.
This is something Cowan
said hed like to see down the
line for the Oregon Golf Asso-
ciation and the high school
teams. This past fall, he had
only 11 girls come out for the
team, despite high numbers of
girls in the junior programs at
Foxboro and Bergamont.
I think that by adding this
option and giving more of
a team feel to it Youre a
part of the team, and were
going to have team practices,
I think that is going to help
keep more kids involved in
playing golf in high school,
he said. I want kids to con-
tinue to be a part of something
that is bigger than just an indi-
vidual sport.
But like all organiza-
tions, gaining numbers at a
young age and keeping them
throughout their time in high
school is another challenge
altogether.
Like any sport, learning to
play through growing pains
can turn students off and turn
fun into frustration, but that
is something Cowan does not
expect with the middle school
club or any other potential
clubs in the Oregon golf
Association.
It is our job to keep it
interesting. Every day is not
going be, We are just going
to hit golf balls, Cowan said.
We are going to play mini-
golf. We are going to take the
team to go play laser tag.
Hopefully, if there are
any tournaments in this area,
we are going to take them to
see the tournaments and just
change it up.
And he hopes that the bond-
ing leads to an identity on and
off the golf course.
Soccer families have spa-
ghetti dinners. We will do
the same thing, and I already
do that with my high school
teams. We have fun, he said.
It is just a different mentality
of development. It is not that
you have to go to the range
and hit 1,000 balls a day to
become a great player. Would
that help? Absolutely, but golf
is a lot more than just hitting a
golf ball.
Educating parents
In addition to teaching
youth players, Cowan said
that he also hopes to educate
younger parents not familiar
with what golf is about or the
steps needed if their son or
daughter wants to play in high
school or college.
It is really creating a plat-
form to give these kids the
most opportunity they want,
and we are going to be there
to help them every step of the
way, he said.
And he also wants parents
to know about the lessons golf
might teach for maturity, one
being the opportunities that
open up in the business world
if you can play a round of golf
with your boss, Cowan said.
It is incredible what you
can get accomplished in a
four-hour golf round if you
are a good player, he said.
And you dont even have to
be that good. You just need
to know what you are doing.
And that is what we are going
to teach these kids. Teach
them the rules. Teach them
the etiquette. Teach them to
be good people.
Future of the association
Despite being the one who
pitched the idea, Cowan wants
to help but not be the face of
the association.
He hopes to not only gain
participation from different
coaches to possibly start a
high school club in the future,
since WIAA rules state that a
high school coach cannot be
in contact with players from
their team once the season
ends, but also to have a board
of directors to help start and
build more programs in the
future.
Cowan said that the initial
group he talked to has similar
visions for the future of the
association.
We all want to see Oregon
be successful, definitely at
the state WIAA level but also
want our kids to be playing in
summer junior tournaments
and be playing in all these oth-
er state events, he said. We
want to see Oregons name
come next.
Association: Oregon begins youth golf program with middle school club
Softball
Panthers fight to the end in pair of losses
Jeremy Jones
Sports editor
Oregon softball twice held a one-run
lead Tuesday evening at Stoughton. The
Panthers proved unable to hold either
however, falling 4-2.
We need to gain some confidence
and learn to finish, Oregon head coach
Mike Derrick said. You could tell we
looked tentative.
Hopeful that confidence will come
with experience, Derrick watched the
Panthers commit back-to-back errors
following the lead-off single of Stough-
tons Holly Brickson in the bottom of
the sixth. The second error scored two
runs and pushed the Vikings ahead for
good.
Hailey Morey had seven strike outs
for the Panthers in the loss, while Dani
Moore doubled and singled to drive in a
run. Oregon only collected four hits.
Monroe 7, Oregon 2
What started out as one of only a
handful of warm spring days Monday
quickly saw temperatures drop quickly
and left Panthers right fielder Quincey
Newton standing in ankle deep water.
Desperate to get games in anywhere
they can, the Panthers had little option
but to go ahead as planned.
The Panthers rallied from a three-run
deficit in the first inning to pull within
one in the fourth inning but still lost 7-2
at Monroes Twining Park.
Sarah Anderson and Alyssa Damon
led off the fourth with a pair of walks.
Both were then sacrificed into scoring
position by Morey before Randi Ort-
mann lined a two-run RBI between first
and second.
Liz Auer later walked to lead off the
fifth and freshman MacKenzie Kres-
sin doubled but Oregon stranded both
runners as Monroes Becca Armstrong
struck out the side for three of her game-
high 13 Ks.
Kressin finished the game 2-for-
3. Oregon only had three hits. Morey
worked 5 1/3 innings and allowed six
earned runs on five hits, while striking
out three and walking two.
Despite the loss, Derrick said, the
Panthers continued to make strides in
their fielding.
Its hard to simulate spacing and
bounces in a gym, as weve only gotten
outside for practice once this spring.
With so many young kids in different
positions, Derrick said, every new situ-
ation is a learning experience.
Girls soccer
Oregon improves to 3-1
The Oregon girls soccer
team (3-1) defeated Apple-

12
times, the board approved
changes to an old policy to
allow students to bring per-
sonal computing devices
such as tablets, laptops or
smart phones to school for
specified classes or projects.
The musicals policy stems
from a 2009 controversy, in
which the OHS production
of the musical Chicago
was briefly canceled by dis-
trict officials over concerns
that the story line centered
too much on adultery and
murder.
Students garnered hun-
dreds of signatures petition-
ing the decision, and within
days administrators back-
tracked and allowed the
show to run. But officials at
the time said a new policy
should be created to avoid
future episodes.
The new policy says pro-
ductions should enrich and
support the curriculum and
consider the varied inter-
ests, ability and maturity
levels of the students and the
communi t y-based audi -
ences. It also said drama
directors will present a list of
possible productions to the
school administrator, with
the principal having the final
say.
Meanwhile, the new cum
laude system that will affect
this years sophomores will
honor top students based on
their grade-point averages.
Students with GPAs of
3.2-3.59 (on a scale of 0 to 4)
would graduate cum laude,
3.6-3.79 GPAs would earn
magna cum laude honors
and summa cum laude
honors would recognize
GPAs of 3.8-4.0.
The high school would still
track students class ranks
internally for use on college
applications.
Also beginning in 2015,
OHS will give special rec-
ognition to kids who tackle
tough classes. Students
who attain six credits in
advanced courses will
be given highest honors.
Students who attain four
or two credits in advanced
courses will be given high
honors or honors, respec-
tively. Each credit equals
two semesters of a typical
class. Which classes qualify
as advanced will be deter-
mined by OHS administra-
tion and approved by the
board.
La s t we e k s pol i c y
changes followed another
approved in February that
will require 2017 graduates
this years eighth grad-
ers to take an extra year of
science and math classes and
complete at least 10 hours of
community service.
Rules: OHS allows students to bring computing devices

Prairie View to have a
new principal for a year
Michelle Gard will serve as inter-
im principal of Prairie View Elemen-
tary School next school year, Oregon
School District officials announced
last week.
Gard will take over for Heather
Sveom, who is leaving in August for
a one-year leave of absence as her
husband will be working in Guam
and Saipan through the U.S. Attor-
neys office.
Gard has worked in the district
seven years, including a past stint as
associate principal at Prairie View.
She is currently principal of the dis-
tricts 4K program.
Sveom has been principal at Prai-
rie View since 2008 and will return
for the 2014-15 school year.
The district plans to fill the 4k
principal vacancy later this month,
said superintendent Brian Busler.
OSD officials slam state budget
Oregon school leaders had
harsh words last week for
Gov. Scott Walkers pro-
posed state budget at a news
conference inside the state
Capitol.
The first words that came
to mind when I read Gover-
nor Walkers budget proposal
were disaster and unfair,
superintendent Brian Busler
said at the event organized
by the Dane County School
Consortium.
Or egon School Boar d
member Steve Zach was also
among nine speakers who
said Walkers plans would
undercut public school dis-
tricts and funding for special
education while boosting
funding for voucher or inde-
pendent charter schools.
Speakers included school
b o a r d me mb e r s f r o m
Madison, Middleton-Cross
Plains, Marshall and Mono-
na Grove school districts, as
well as two business owners
and a parent.
Oregon school officials
have been loudly critical of
Walkers proposal since it
was introduced two months
ago, saying it could lead to
a $1-$2 million OSD budget
shortfall next year. The board
in March sent a 3-page letter
to lawmakers slamming the
proposed 2-year budget as
an all-out attack on public
education in Wisconsin.

sper and Ravyn Swanson.

Helen; a daughter, Linda
Raught; and a grandchild,
Kala Trosper.
A Memorial Service was

Bluff View Room Thurs-
day, April 11, 2013. In
lieu of flowers the fam-
ily asks that donations be
made to the Badger Honor
