Area churches are send-
ing parishioners on mis-
sion trips this summer, and
while many sign up think-
ing they will help those less
fortunate, they often real-
ize theyve been bettered,
too. That was the case for
18-year-old Hannah Mark-
quart.
Hannah has participated
in mission trips since she
was in eighth grade.
As a member of St. Johns
Lutheran Church, shes been
going to Guatemala every
summer for the past four
years. She says shes grate-
ful for experiences that con-
tinue to shape her as an indi-
vidual.
These mi ssi ons have
changed my life and have
made me the young wom-
an I am today. Markquart
said. I have learned to have
more patience and how to
love deeper, and I have
become a much more faith-
ful person than I already
was.
St. Johns Lutheran
Her father, Paul Mark-
quart, pastor at St. Johns,
was introduced to the Now
is the Time mission in Gua-
temala by mission director
Shawn Smith, a Christian
musician, when he helped
them with a service at their
church five years ago. St.
Johns has been participating
in the mission ever since.
These experiences of liv-
ing in Christian community
and serving others make us
better people, Markquart
said. When we come home
we start to open our eyes
to the needs of others here
where we live.
Joanna Mahnke, associate
pastor and youth coordina-
tor at Peoples United Meth-
odist Church, organized two
missions for the summer,
one for her high school stu-
dents and one for her middle
school students.
Mission trips, I think,
especially for teens, pro-
vide experience for hands-
on opportunities to make a
difference, Mahnke said.
It takes them out of their
normal environment, chal-
lenges them to push their
limits.
She also said it makes
the phrase making a dif-
f er ence mor e t angi bl e
while strengthening bonds
between each other.
In total, five area church-
es are participating in mis-
sion trips.

Rules set for
first dog park
Villages first
official off-leash
play area expected
to open in august
Bill liVick
Unifed Newspaper Group
Do g o wn e r s wh o
plan to use the new Vil-
lage of Oregon dog park
when it opens in August
wont need to pay the
annual user fee the Vil-
lage Board approved last
week.
But t hey wi l l aft er
Jan. 1, said Oregon Pub-
lic Works director Mark
Below.
The $20-per-dog fee
was among a list of rules
the Village Board adopt-
ed last week for the off-
leash area near Jaycee
Park.
Trustee David Dono-
van, a member of the
Park Board, sai d t he
committee created rules
for the dog park that are
pat t erned aft er Dane
Countys. The countys
off-leash areas are part
of a cooperative pro-
gram with the cities of
Madison, Middleton and
Sun Prairie that all share
identical rules.
Donovan said the idea
behind the villages fee
is to help cover future
maintenance costs at the
park.
Homeowners seek help
with flooding problem
Bill liVick
Unifed Newspaper Group
Two men whose prop-
erties on the villages
south side are prone to
fl oodi ng have enl i st -
ed t he vi l l ages hel p
to resolve the ongoing
problem.
If the village agrees, it
would help them extend
a berm onto land in a
neighbors field in the
Town of Oregon.
Ti m Ni kol ai and
Wayne Kaboord met with
the Village Board Mon-
day and explained that
stormwater runoff from
a farm field just south of
their homes on Liliana
Terrace drains into their
backyards, flooding them
during periods of heavy
rain or when rain falls on
frozen ground.
The fi el d i s i n t he
Town of Oregon and
is owned by a bank in
Chicago. The property
was formerly owned by
Veridian Homes of Mad-
ison. The mens proper-
ties are in the village.
Nikolai told the board
hes lived on Liliana Ter-
race for 13 years and has
grappled with flooding
for a long time, but the
problem is gradually get-
ting worse.
The farm field slopes
t owar d us f r om t wo
directions, Nikolai said.
Lately weve been get-
ting more and more water
coming through.
He explained that sev-
eral years ago, he built
an in-ground swimming
pool in his backyard and

St . J ohn s Lut her an
Church sent 26 members
to Guatemala between mid
June and the third week
of July as it continued its
five-year relationship with
Now is the Time mission.
The group ranged in ages
from 8 to 74. While there,
they worked on building a
female house to accompany
the Hogar Miguel Magone
boys orphanage in order to
reunite brothers and sisters,
most of whom were sent
there because of abuse and
neglect.
They also installed floors
and stoves, worked at a
humanitarian aid station
that offered medication
and shoes and clothing for
children to attend public
schools, and they hosted a
vacation Bible school for
hundreds of children. They
also maintained an eyeglass
clinic that was started by
member Teri Mitchell four
years ago.
Carrie Odden participated
in St. Johns trip to Guate-
mala with her husband and
two children. She said she
cherished the interactions
she and her family had with
the villagers and orphanage
inhabitants.
For our family, it was
to help serve people who
needed help and to expose
ourselves and our children
to people who dont have
the kind of lives that we
do, she said.
First Presbyterian
Ten members of First
Presbyterian Church went
to Kentucky for eight days
beginning Saturday, July
20.
The group compri sed
four young adults just out
of college, and six older
adults, most of whom are
recently retired.
As part of Burnamwood
Appalachian Mission, the
group worked in the Central
Appalachian region, where
they helped repair homes
for t hose who coul dnt
af f or d t he r epai r s and
chipped in with other local
initiatives.
Peoples United
Methodist
Two trips planned by
Peoples United Method-
ist Church are taking youth
across the country.
In June, a group of mid-
dle schoolers went to Chat-
tanooga, Tenn., where they
helped at a nursing home.
In July, another group of
high school students went
t o Bost on, wher e t hey
worked at My Brothers
Table, a privately funded
soup kitchen, by prepar-
ing, serving and cleaning
up after meals and mail-
ing labels for a fundraising
campaign.
They also helped at the
Boys and Girls Club where
they planned activities and
interacted with children and
they helped move furniture.
Community of Life
Community of Life also
has a group traveling to a
different state for its mis-
sion work. A multi-gener-
ational group of 12 people,
ranging from children to
adults in their 50s, is going
to Pine Ridge, S.D., to par-
ticipate in Next Step Minis-
tries beginning this Satur-
day.
Based in Madison, Next
Step Ministries offers par-
ticipants a cultural expe-
ri ence as t hey work i n
building, remodeling and
children and youth minis-
try. The group will spend a
week there.
Hillcrest Bible
Thirteen youth and two
adults, ranging from sev-
enth grade to a graduating
senior, from Hillcrest Bible
Church have been partici-
pating in a variety of local
outreach ministries.
In early July, these youth
assi st ed Lake Waubesa
Bible Camp with landscap-
ing, painting and demoli-
tion to improve the quality
of the campus. They also
spent a day painting, stain-
ing, putting together furni-
ture, steam cleaning carpet,
demolishing and organiz-
ing items at their churchs
campus in preparation for
the churches vacation Bible
school comi ng up next
week.

Village of Oregon
Board expects parking lot
upgrades before end of 13
Bill liVick
Unifed Newspaper Group
Village officials are mov-
ing forward with plans to
refurbish the municipal
parking lot behind the row
of busi nesses on Sout h
Main Street.
The Village Board Mon-
day selected one of two
design options for the lot
that will reconfigure park-
ing stalls so that they are
perpendicular to the drive
aisles instead of the current
angled parking. The change
will allow for three addi-
tional parking spaces.
The lot will be resurfaced
and restriped, and a Dane
County civil defense warn-
ing siren will also be relo-
cated within the parking
area.
The board decided to let
village staff decide where
to locate the siren.
Public works director
Mark Below said he would
work with MSA Profes-
sional Services the firm
that has done the engineer-
ing and planning work on
the project and Oregon
police chief Doug Pettit to
determine the best location
for the siren.
Well send the county
a map of potential loca-
tions to move it to and get
their feedback and go from
there, Below said. The
board wants to move the
siren because its sort of an
obstacle where it is.
The i deal si t uat i on
would be to move it and
burying the electric lines,
he added, but it doesnt
sound like the board is
going to spend the money
on that.
The el ect r i cal power
pole that serves all the
businesses on South Main
Street will stay where it is,
and a Dumpster corral will
remain where it is, as well.
Below said its too early
to have a good cost esti-
mate for the work. Village
administrator Mike Gracz
has budgeted about $50,000
for the project.
MSAs Kevin Lord pre-
sented the board with two
design options for the park-
ing lot. Its an odd-shaped
parcel with limited room,
he told the board.
The first option would
have changed the lots con-
figuration very little. The
lot has a one-way loop, in
which traffic enters through
the west driveway and exits
further to the east.
Th e s e c o n d o p t i o n
squares up the aisles and
lets you gain a few parking
stalls, so youd go from 27
stalls to 30, Lord said.
In order to construct it
this year, we need a deci-
sion very soon, he said.
Trustee Eric Poole asked
if either option would allow
for a semi-truck and trailer
to pull straight into the
lot to unload its cargo, or
if those types of vehicles
would still have to back in,
the way they presently do.
Lord said a full-sized
semi-truck would still have
to back in, although the
loading zone would be two
feet wider under the option
the board chose.
Tr ust ee Jer r y Bol l i g
asked which option would
better lend itself to expand-
ing the lot, should the vil-
lage acquire property adja-
cent to it in the future.
Lord sai d t he second
option the one the board
selected would allow for
future expansion.
Downtown property own-
er John Diets, who owns
Peaceful Heart Gifts and
Books with his wife, Doris,
said he would like to see
the Dumpsters moved away
from the buildings because
of the terrible smell during
the summer.
Below responded that
the Dumpsters would have
to remain where they are
unless the board is will-
ing to spend a considerable
amount of money to bury
power lines and move the
warning siren. The estimat-
ed cost to bury the power
lines is $250,000.
Businessman Jerry Thiel
injected a note of skepti-
ci sm i n t he di scussi on,
saying the village should
leave the lot as is and save
its money until a property
owner he didnt name but
described as a slum lord
is willing to negotiate in
good faith and not try to
make a killing selling his
rental property next to the
lot to the village.
Thiel clearly was refer-
ring to commercial devel-
oper Paul Lynch. The vil-
lage has discussed purchas-
ing the rental property next
to the lot with Lynch, but a
deal does not appear to be
imminent.
Lynch did not return a
phone call seeking com-
ment Tuesday.
Thiel also called on the
village to adopt a mini-
mum housing code and
force the property owner to
clean up the rental property.
He alleged that place is
a hangout for a bunch of
thugs and drug dealers.
The board did not address
that part of Thiels com-
ments, but Trustee Phil
Harms sai d t he vi l l age
needs to take steps now to
make a decent parking lot
back there for the business-
es on South Main Street.
The l ot has not been
resurfaced since the 1970s,
according to village staff.
Work on the project is
expect ed t o begi n next
month.
Seth JoVaag
Unifed Newspaper Group
It depends on what youre
definition of pricey is.
The last week in June, the
district did spend more than
$3,600 to send administra-
tors to Green Lake Confer-
ence Center for a two-and-
a-half day administrative
workshop, said superinten-
dent Brian Busler.
The mid-summer get-
away has been a tradition in
Oregon for about 20 years,
Busler said.
But its hardly a vacation,
Busler insisted. Instead, prin-
cipals, associate principals
and other administrators
usually between 15 and 18 in
all spend the time working
on each schools goals and
focusing on a particular topic
related to curriculum. This
years main topic was about
personalized instruction,
or how to customize educa-
tion for each student. And
the group was to discuss how
to provide more technologi-
cal devices to teachers who
are clamoring for more tab-
lets and laptops, Busler said
in an interview before the
workshop.
If you talked to a couple
of administrators, I think
most of them would say,
we start early, we work late
and its kind of an exhaust-
ing experience, Busler said.
Its not intended to be a
posh two-and-a-half days.
Its meant to be a (time to)
work hard.
Costs for this years retreat
included $2,125 for lodging
at the conference center and
$1,485 for meals.
In 2011 and 2012, the
retreats focused primarily on
how best to evaluate teacher
performance. The district
brought in a guest speaker
in both 2010 and 2011 at
a cost of between $1,200
and $1,500 annually, Busler
estimated but felt it didnt
need a speaker the past two
years.
Administrators are sala-
ried and arent paid extra
during the workshop. They
meets outside of Oregon to
have uninterrupted time,
free from cell phones and
interviews with job appli-
cants, to focus on big pic-
ture topics for the district,
Busler said. He called it a
wise investment of tax-
payer money.
The workshops are a
cost-effective alternative
to sending administrators
to national conventions that
can easily cost $500 per per-
son, he said.
We get to tailor the
workshop to what were
doing as opposed to going to
a workshop, listening about
a topic that we then have to
modify and bring back to
the district, he said.
Busler said such work-
shops arent unusual at
all in Wisconsin, though
he didnt have data to sup-
port that, as districts arent
required to report such trips
to the state Department of
Public Instruction.
Its not all work, he con-
ceded. The group does set
aside time for volleyball in
the evenings for staff bond-
ing. But thats about it, he
said.
We dont get pedicures,
we dont do spa days, he
said.

Man accused of stealing assault rifles
Mark ignatowSki
Unifed Newspaper Group
A Town of Brooklyn man who faces
three felony theft charges for allegedly
stealing weapons from his grandmothers
home is scheduled to go to trial.
Weston M. Hoare-Baltes, 20, was
charged June 7 with the three theft charg-
es, along with a felony burglary charge for
allegedly arming himself
with a dangerous weapon,
according to a criminal com-
plaint filed in Dane County
Circuit Court.
The complaint alleges that
Hoare-Baltes broke into his
grandmothers house in the
Town of Dunkirk on May
12 and took three weap-
ons a .22 caliber rifle and
AR-15 and AK-47 assault rifles that had
belonged to her late husband. The weapons
were allegedly sold to a man in Stoughton
for $1,100. Hoare-Baltes initially denied the
thefts.
In a meeting with detectives, the com-
plaint alleges, Hoare-Baltes admitted to tak-
ing the weapons and selling them.
Hoare-Baltes had previously been part of
the courts deferred prosecution program.
He had pleaded guilty to the felony charge
of being party to a robbery for planning a
robbery in 2010 at Grandpas Gun Shop in
Madison.
Online court records show that Hoare-
Baltes is also on probation for bail jump-
ing, violating a domestic abuse restraining
order, drug charges and making threats.
Hoare-Baltes could have completed his
probation for these charges and would have
had the felony charge from the gun shop
robbery dropped.
Hoare-Baltes was also indicted by a fed-
eral grand jury on June 27, according to
a news release from the U.S. Attorneys
Office. He is charged with possessing fire-
arms while facing felony charges. Federal
law prohibits an individual facing felony
charges from receiving a firearm.
If convicted, Hoare-Baltes faces a maxi-
mum penalty of 10 years in federal prison,
the release stated.
If convicted in the Dane County charges,
Hoare-Baltes faces up to 15 years in prison
for the burglary charge and six years each
for the felony theft charges. He also faces a
felony burglary charge and a misdemeanor
theft charge in Rock County.
A final pre-trial meeting for the Dane
County charges is set for Aug. 27, with a
jury trial tentatively set for Oct. 3.
Hoare-Baltes
A reader aired concerns that the Oregon School District is sending administrators
on a pricey, multi-day retreat this summer on the taxpayers dime. Is that true?
Is teacher retreat on taxpayers dollar?

B
usinesses face many
competitive challenges in
todays fast-paced econ-
omy, but turning to the Oregon
Public Library for assistance is a
sure-fire way of gaining a com-
petitive advantage.
Todays librarians are infor-
mation professionals who know
the best resources and quickest
methods to
help business
owners find
the informa-
tion they need.
Libraries pro-
vide a wide
range of refer-
ence materials,
such as numer-
ous online data-
bases, profes-
sional encyclopedias, books and
magazines (many electronic).
Considering the vastness of
the Internet, its usually easier
to find scholarly works through
the public library. And librarians
are able to support your research
because they know the best
resources or an in-house expert
or can tell you where books and
other resources are located within
the library.
We can help businesses find
important information for new
products and/or new markets.
In addition to serving as an
information resource, the Oregon
Public Library has high-speed
Internet access available to all of
our customers, and its evident
that the library is an incredible
business resource. The library
also has a photocopier and scan-
ning services that are useful for
small businesses.
Business owners often assume
they cant turn to the library to
get their questions answered
or get assistance with research
projects. But we are here for
the benefit of all our customers,
including business owners. They
are important clientele like any
others.
For many people, just getting
away from work to avoid distrac-
tions might be the greatest ben-
efit of using the library. You can
minimize the interruptions that
destroy deep concentration when
trying to analyze information,
and if you need to work with col-
laborators, the library is a great
option.
Some of the business databases
that the library provides are:
Morningstar Investment
Research Center
library.morningstar.com
Financial information on the
New York Stock Exchange,
American Stock Exchange and
NASDAQ stocks, as well as
comprehensive financial infor-
mation on thousands of mutual
funds, on hundreds of exchange-
traded funds with up-to-date
information on returns.

Residents should takes steps to protect
themselves after case of West Nile
State and local health officials
announced Monday that the first
human case of West Nile virus
(WNV) was diagnosed in a Dane
County resident. Health officials are
reminding people to protect them-
selves against mosquito bites.
According to a news release
by the Wisconsin Department of
Health Services and Public Health-
Madison and Dane County, this is
the first case of human WNV ill-
ness reported in the state during
2013. During 2012, 57 Wisconsin
residents developed symptomatic
WNV infection, and five of these
reported cases occurred among
Dane County residents.
Officials also confirmed that
statewide, 10 dead birds have tested
positive for WNV so far this sea-
son. The birds were found in nine
counties: Chippewa, Dunn, Fond du
Lac, Jefferson, Oneida, Rock, Vilas,
Washington, and Wood. Infected
birds serve as an early warning by
indicating that WNV is present
in an area, underscoring the need
for residents to protect themselves
against mosquito bites.
The likelihood of contracting
WNV infection is low and most
people infected with the virus will
not have symptoms. Those who
do become ill may develop a fever,
headache, rash, muscle and joint
aches, nausea, vomiting and fatigue
that can last a few days. Symptoms
may begin three to 15 days after
being bitten by an infected mosquito.
In rare cases, WNV can cause
severe disease including encepha-
litis and meningitis. Severe symp-
toms include high fever, muscle
weakness, stiff neck, disorienta-
tion, mental confusion, tremors,
convulsions, paralysis and coma.
Older adults and people with com-
promised immune systems are at
an increased risk of severe disease
caused by the virus.
There is no specific treatment
for WNV infection other than to
treat symptoms. If you think you
have WNV infection, contact your
healthcare provider.
WNV is spread to people through
the bite of an infected mosquito and
is not transmitted person to person.
Although few mosquitoes actually
carry the virus, it is important to
take steps to minimize your expo-
sure during mosquito season:
Limit time spent outside at
dawn and dusk, when mosquitoes
are most active.
Apply insect repellent to cloth-
ing as well as exposed skin because
mosquitoes may bite through cloth-
ing.
Make sure window and door
screens are in good repair to prevent
mosquito entry.
Properly dispose of items that
hold water, such as tin cans, plastic
containers, ceramic pots or discard-
ed tires to prevent mosquito breed-
ing. Turn over wheelbarrows, wad-
ing pools, boats and canoes when
not in use.
Clean roof gutters and down-
spouts for proper drainage.
Change the water in birdbaths
and pet dishes at least every three
days.
Clean and chlorinate swimming
pools, outdoor saunas, and hot tubs;
drain water from pool covers.
Trim tall grass, weeds and vines
because mosquitoes use these areas
to rest during hot daylight hours.
The Department of Health Servic-
es and Public Health-Madison and
Dane County will continue surveil-
lance activities for West Nile virus
in dead birds until October. As part
of the surveillance effort, residents
are encouraged to report sick or
dead crows, blue jays and ravens to
the Dead Bird Hotline at (800) 433-
1610.

Nile virus in Wisconsin, visit: dhs.

the recent Green County Dairy Days in June.

Mariah is the daughter of Rod and Susie Martin.
William Sever, a junior
at Oregon High School,
achieved the rank of Eagle
Scout l ast Sunday, an
award he began working
on when he was a Tiger
Cub in Cub Scouts over 11
years ago.
Sever earned 23 mer-
it badges on his path to
Eagle Scout. One such
badge was the cycling
merit badge, which he was
awarded after a 50-mile
bike ride into the various
parts of Dane County,
which Will describes as,
One of the most beautiful
and exhausting rides Ive
ever done.
He also had to take on
the responsibilities of a
patrol leader, assistant
patrol leader, troop guide,
Order of the Arrow, den
chief, scribe, historian and
several other leadership
roles on his way to Eagle
Scout.
The final step was a ser-
vice project, which was a
project at St. Marys Cem-
etery. Several headstones
had fallen into a state of
disrepair and were moved
over time. Sever organized
several adults and youths
and in August of 2012,

Gods Wrath
It is almost always more comforting to imagine that God is pri-
marily loving rather than vengeful, but perhaps we should view
Gods wrath as part and parcel of his loving nature. To use an
analogy, a loving parent would be justifiably angry with anyone
who abused his or her child, and the parent might be suspect
were he or she too quick to forgive their childs abuser. Since the
child is the victim, it may not even be the parents place to for-
give. Likewise, Gods wrath is often appropriate, especially when
viewed in the context of someone harming His children. Our
anger is often justified, but we should seriously consider what the
appropriate response to that anger should be. Justice tempered
by mercy is undoubtedly the Christian response to most wrongs
that are done to us. As good parents often tell their own children,
I love you, and because I love you I must punish you. The
sometimes unforgiving God of the Old Testament is undoubtedly
a God who was correcting humanity at a stage of our develop-
ment when we needed plenty of moral education. We should
consider how often we are all in need of Gods correction.
Blessed is the one whom God corrects; so do not despise the
discipline of the Almighty.

Brother-sister duo carries on decades-long soap box derby family tradition
Kimberly Wethal
Observer correspondent
Madison will be sending
the Oregon-native brother-
sister duo of Natalie Gan-
shert, 14, and Ian Ganshert,
12, to the Soap Box Derby
International Championships
in Ohio, on July 27.
The kids father Paul Gan-
shert says the familys inter-
est in soap box derby racing
began with the kids grandfa-
ther more than 75 years ago.
My father, Pete, started
it all back in 1936 when he
built his first car, Ganshert
said. People ask about our
longevity in soap box (that
my dad started). I say it
means we are very persistent
or very lousy.
It had been Petes dream to
compete in the international
championship, and that same
drive to get there was passed
down to Natalie and Ian.
Natalie started her racing
career at age 7 in 2007 and
will be racing in the Super-
stock division. Ian started
two years later and will be
competing in the Stock divi-
sion. The Super-stock divi-
sion is open to girls and boys
aged 10-17 years old and
weighing up to 150 lbs., and
the Stock division is open to
those that are 8-14 years old
and weigh up to 110 lbs.
According to the All-
American Soap Box Derbys
website, participants can
either win their divisions at
the local races to get to the
championship or attend rally
races throughout the year and
accumulate enough points
to be invited. Paul said that
Natalie and Ian had to beat
out around 30 other contend-
ers at the local race, which
was on June 22 in Fitchburg.
There was quite a spread
of experience in other drivers
at the local race, said Gan-
shert. Anything (ranging)
from first-timers to an inter-
national champion.
Despite being in different
divisions, Natalie and Ian
credit each other for propel-
ling themselves to the cham-
pionship. They work togeth-
er by practicing and main-
taining their cars as a team.
Paul says its funny seeing
what is most exciting for the
kids as they build their cars
from kits.
Its ranged from just
using a power drill and
screws to the amazement that
you can drill a hole or cut
through metal, he said.
Natalies motivation is
also fueled by beating Ians
race time, and vice versa.
Ian is also driven by the
possibility of placing at the
championship.
According to Paul, the kids
left last Saturday for Akron
for a week prior to the race
filled with parades and trial
runs.
Pete Ganshert may not
have made it to the inter-
national championships in
his lifetime, but he will be
with his grandkids in spirit
through pictures of him in
their cars and in Natalies
good luck locket. Ganshert
said that his father was
smiling down on them as
they won their divisions.

Zoo in
Brooklyn?
While working as a nurs-
ery school teacher, Noelle
Tarrant discovered an
exciting and safe way for
children to imagine and
explore the world of ani-
mals. Bringing animals into
her classroom and then into
private homes, she has been
a licensed animal educator
for over 20 years.
She presented animals in
Brooklyn last month includ-
ing a giant marine toad (left)
a bearded dragon (far left).
The bearded dragon is
a common name for a
Pogona, which is a genus
of reptiles comprising eight
species.

In addition to the annual
fee, the rules call for a $5
daily user fee for people
who dont purchase the
annual permit, or if they
bring a different dog from
one t hey have al r eady
licensed.
The annual fee will be
collected at the same time
as dog licenses are issued,
Donovan said.
Each person will be lim-
ited to three dogs in the
park at one time. Donovan
said that is similar to what
the county has, though at
county parks the limit is
listed as a recommended
point of etiquette, rather
than a rule.
Du r i n g d i s c u s s i o n
pri or t o vot i ng on t he
motion, trustee Phil Harms
asked if the village would
assume some liability for
problems that might occur
in the park, given that it is
charging a an entry fee.
Donovan poi nt ed out
that the first rule on the list
states: Dog owners are
legally and financially lia-
ble for injuries or damages
caused by their dog(s).
Other rules, from the vil-
lages document:
* Dogs using the park
must be licensed, vaccinat-
ed and healthy. Each dog
is required to wear a visible
municipal license and ID
tags, per state statute.
* Any dog exhibiting
aggressive behavior must
be removed from the park
immediately.
Dog owners must be
in control of the pet at all
times. The dog must be
wi t hi n vi ew and under
voice control of the owner/
handler.
Female dogs in heat are
not allowed, and dogs must
be leashed and restrained
when entering and leaving
the park.
Dogs must be super-
vised by an adult (someone
at least 18 years old) and
children are not allowed
in the park without adult
supervision.
Harms also asked who
would enforce the rules,
including ones that require
a dog to be licensed and
vaccinated.
Donovan and village staff
suggested the police depart-
ment and possibly staff of
the public works depart-
ment, could do random
compliance checks.
The village has budgeted
$17,000, to be taken from
developer fees, to create
the park on 12.5 acres south
of Jaycee Park, where dog
owners have walked their
pets for years. The park will
be bordered on the north by
the Oregon branch of the
Badfish Creek, on the east
by U.S. Hwy. 14, on the
south by Park Street and on
the west where North Perry
Parkway will eventually be
extended to connect with
South Perry Parkway.
Below said the park fence
will be installed this month
and the park should be open
by early to mid-August.
Donovan said the rules
adopted last week will be
posted prominently at the
park entrance.
The annual permit can be
obtained at Village Hall,
117 Spring St. Daily per-
mits can be obtained at the
park entrance.

RBI and two runs scored.
Panthers run wild in win
Anthony Iozzo
Assistant sports editor
Wild pitches helped the Oregon
Senior Legion grab an early 5-run
lead July 16 against Verona at
Stampfl Field.
Verona pitcher Jake Armstrong
had a tough time finding the plate
in the second inning with four wild
pitches and four walks, following an
easy 1-2-3 first.
The Panthers Ross Galloway
knocked Armstrong out of the game
later in the inning with a 2-run sin-
gle that eventually proved to be the
gamewinner in a 9-4 win over Vero-
na.
Oregons top of the second started
with a walk to Jere Bauer and a sin-
gle up the middle by Andrew Pliner.
Bauer later stole third, and Ben Ror-
tvedts throw went into left field
allowing Bauer to score and Pliner to
reach second.
Pliner later scored on a wild pitch
with two outs, and Will Reinecke,
Tyler Mortenson and Abe Maurice
all walked. Reinecke scored on a wild
pitch, while Mortenson and Maurice
both scored on Galloways single.
The Wildcats did nearly turn
around the momentum in the bottom
of the sixth when John Moynihan
ripped a 2-run double into the left-
center field gap, bring home Mitch
Flora and David Rogowski, to cut the
score to 6-3.
Moynihan had relieved Armstrong
in the second and finished with no
runs on one hit in 2 1/3 innings. He
had three strikeouts and one walk.
But after Moynihan brought the
Hitmen closer, the Panthers followed
with three more runs in the top of the
seventh to put the game out of reach.
Pierce Peterson started off the sev-
enth with an infield single, and Logan
Laski followed with a walk. A wild
pitch by Jeff Reinholtz put runners
on second and third, respectively, and
Pliner later knocked them in with two
outs with a high chopper that went
over third base and into left field for
two RBIs. Pliner later scored on an
error.
Oregon scored another run in the
fifth on an RBI walk by Pliner to
score Pierce Peterson.
Verona scored its first run in the
second after Armstrong reached on
an error and later scored on an RBI
infield single to make it 5-1 at the
time. The Hitmen scored again in
the bottom of the seventh with an
RBI double by Flora to score Corey
Miller.
Maurice earned the win for Ore-
gon, going seven innings and allow-
ing two earned runs on nine hits. He
walked two and struck out two.
Armstrong picked up the loss for
Verona. He allowed four earned runs
off two hits and five walks in 1 2/3
innings. He struck out one.
Abe Maurice hurls a strike in the third inning at Verona. He earned the win and went seven innings and allowed two earned runs
on nine hits. He walked two and struck out two.

Workers help mulch trail at Stone Ridge Park on Cherry Wood Drive this summer after heavy rains.
Church leads trail project
Victoria Vlisides
Unifed Newspaper Group
A group lead by Com-
munity of Life Lutheran
chur ch pi t ched i n and
mulched a local nature trail
last week.
Anne Michels, who led
the efforts, said the recent
heavy rai ns eroded t he
trail at Stone Ridge Park
on Cherry Wood Drive.
Around 50 people helped
mulch the trail and get rid
of invasive plant species
like garlic mustard, she
said.
Gary Disch at the Oregon
parks department had about
five truck loads of mulch
for the volunteers to use on
the 25 yards of trail.
They did a nice job for
us, Disch said. Whenev-
er residents do something
like this, we, the Village,
really appreciate it.
Michels and the church
took on the project as part
of their annual Sunday ser-
vice event where the church
does a local service job.
Michels said area neigh-
bors joined in to help, too.

Obituaries
James R. Reisdorfer
James R. Reisdorfer, age
62, of Oregon, passed away
on Thursday, July 18, at
UW Hospital after a very
hard-fought and courageous
battle with brain cancer.
Jim was born July 27, 1950,
in Huron, S.D.
He was the oldest child
of Edward J. and Lorraine
M. (Heikes) Reisdorfer.
He lived in South Dakota
and Iowa and moved to
Worthington, Minn., while
in junior high school. He
graduated from Worthing-
ton High School in June of
1968. From there, he went
to the University of Min-
nesota in the Naval ROTC
program and graduat ed
with a degree in Mechani-
cal Engineering in May,
1973. On August 13, 1971,
he married Ann Christensen
at Sacred Heart Church in
Waseca, Minn. After gradu-
ation from college, he was
commissioned an Ensign
in the U.S. Navy. He and
Ann spent four years on
the east coast, living in
Newport, R.I., Charleston,
S.C., and Norfolk, Va. Jim
spent many months at sea
and thoroughly enjoyed
the navy experience and
the wonderful places he
visited all over the world.
Through his Navy experi-
ence, Jim made many last-
ing friendships. In January,
1975, Jim and Anns first
son, Jeremy was born in
Waseca, Minn. and in Octo-
ber of 1976, their second
son, Jeffery was born in
Portsmouth, Va. In 1977,
Jim left active duty and
took a job at AMF/Para-
gon Electric in Two Riv-
ers. The family lived there
for 6 years and then moved
to Fort Dodge, Iowa, where
Jim worked for CRL Com-
ponents. In 1989, the fam-
ily made their final move to
Oregon.
While in Oregon, Jim
worked ei ght years for
Johnson Controls in Water-
town and four years in the
Johnson Controls Head-
quarters in Milwaukee. For
the past seven years Jim
has worked as a Sustain-
ing Engineer at Accuray
Incorporated in Madison.
In 1995, he retired from the
US Naval Reserve with the
rank of Commander, hav-
ing given over twenty-two
years of service. Jim was
the kind of guy who would
do anything for anybody.
He loved life and always
had a smile and a kind
word. He loved to talk and
knew a little something
about everything. While
his sense of humor was a
little offbeat, it was the very
essence of who he was.
When his sons were grow-
ing up, he coached their
football, basketball and
track teams and was a Scout
Leader. He had many hob-
bies, including: collecting
sports cards and memora-
bilia, HO and Lionel trains,
woodworking, gardening,
yard work and working on
his computer.
Jim loved the Packers,
Badger hockey and spend-
i ng t i me wi t h hi s fam-
ily. His three grandchil-
dren were the light of his
life. He also had a love for
learning and was continu-
ally looking for more infor-
mation on a wide variety of
subjects. He went back to
school, while working full-
time and graduated from
Cardinal Stritch Univer-
sity, in 1999, with a Master
Degree of Business Admin-
istration.
He was a member of
Holy Mother of Conso-
l at i on Church and was
involved in many activities
through the church. He is
survived by his best friend
and wife, Ann; his son,
Jeremy of Marshall, his
son, Jeff (Mary) and their
children, Addison, Beck-
ett and Charlotte of River
Falls. He is also survived
by his brother, Greg (Bar-
bara) Reisdorfer of Lake-
wood, Wash.; his sister,
Julie (Steve) Surprenant of
Oregon; his sister-in-law,
Paula (Jeff) Schmitz of
Reno, Nev.; many neph-
ews, nieces, cousins and
special relatives, Don and
Verla Larson and Jeanne
and John Andrews. He
was preceded in death by
his parents; a brother, Paul
Reisdorfer; and his mother-
in-law and father-in law,
Lois and Roy Christensen.
Funeral services were held
at Holy Mother of Consola-
tion Church, 651 N. Main
St, Oregon, at 10 a.m. on
Thursday, July 25. Visita-
tion was held on Wednes-
day, July 24, from 5 until 8
p.m. at Gunderson Oregon
Funeral Home, 1150 Park
St., Oregon, and also from
9 a.m. until the time of the
service on Thursday at the
church. Burial followed at St.
Marys Cemetery in Oregon.
In lieu of flowers, the
family requests memorials
to be used for a scholarship
in Jims name that will be
given to an Oregon High
School student who is inter-
ested in pursuing an engi-
neering major in college.

James Reisdorfer
used the dirt to construct a berm
to prevent storm runoff from
reaching his property and that of
his neighbor, Kaboord.
The berm has helped but hasnt
been completely effective, he
said, adding that in June a large
rainstorm resulted in his entire
backyard and swimming pool
being filled with both water run-
off and topsoil from the field.
The men said all the homes in
their neighborhood have swales
designed to direct runoff to storm
drains on Liliana Terrace or to a
catch basin near their homes. But
the swales arent doing the job,
they said.
Nikolai said his home also has
a history of water seeping up from
the ground into the basement.
He said theres not much that
can be done to prevent it. He and
Kaboord use sump pumps to deal
with that issue.
The men said theyve had land-
scape engineers assess the situ-
ation, and they think they have a
potential solution a bigger berm.
They contacted Oregon pub-
lic works director Mark Below
two weeks ago about the flood-
ing. Below met with them at their
properties and agreed with their
suggestion.
Nikolai and Kaboord told the
board theyve talked with a vil-
lage resident who installs swim-
ming pools, and he would allow
the men to use the dirt from three
pools hes planning to build this
summer. Nikolai and Kaboord
suggested they could extend and
increase the size the berm theyd
already put in place.
They said there is a utilities
easement along the edge of the
field that is draining onto their
properties and that would be the
place to build a big berm to keep
water out of our yards.
I think its the least expensive
approach, Below told the board.
Itll keep the water out of their
backyards.
The berm is a temporary fix,
he added, but if you can get a
berm in there and get some good
growth established on it, thatll
last a long time.
Village administrator Mike
Gracz noted that water coming
from the township into the vil-
lage would be an issue Dane
County should address. He sug-
gested having Below contact
Jeremy Balousek, an employee
of the countys Land and Water
Resources Department whom
the village has hired to work on
stormwater issues in the past.
Gracz also said the village
would be in a better position
than individual property owners
to contact the bank that owns the
farm field, should work on that
property be required to reduce or
redirect storm runoff.
On Tuesday, Nikolai told the
Observer he was pleased with the
villages initial response.
Were not looking for sym-
pathy from anybody, he said.
Were just trying to get it fixed
so it doesnt happen again. In
the long run, you want a solution
so that when you go to sell your
house, you can do it in good con-
science.
