Keeping track of the ballots
Kathy Danielson and Geneva Forman sort mail-in ballots at Oregon Village Hall on Nov. 8. The two say they have lost
count of the number of times theyve volunteered. Residents also voted at the Town Hall and Peoples United Methodist
Church between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. Tuesday.
Horse parade canceled

Charge for police coverage made it cost-prohibitive
This time last year, costumed riders and horses clopped down Main
Street for the Oregon Horse Associations holiday horse parade. But
the Horse Capital of Wisconsin
will forgo the ninth annual event as a
result of the cost of police coverage
of the event.
OHA president Barb Waters
released a statement on the groups
website, which was then shared by
another member on Facebook in
October, detailing the reason why
OHA is no longer sponsoring the
parade.
Unfortunately, the annual holiday horse parade has become cost
prohibitive mainly due to required
police assistance needed to staff the
parade, she wrote.

Police fee explained
Page 5
In years previous, OHA had never been billed by the Oregon Police
Department for their help with
directing traffic, Waters told the
Observer, but the group typically
gave OPD a donation, sometimes
between $50 and $100.
This year, however, she learned
officers would need to be paid overtime to staff the parade. For five
officers, the police department determined that amount would have been
$400-$500, she said.
Rather than raising registration
fees substantially to cover the cost,

OHA decided to rein in their parade
plans.
We do not feel that we can
increase fees to parade participants
sufficient enough to cover the costs,
Waters wrote.
OHA would have paid for insurance for the event and horse owners
would have costs associated with
costumes and trailers, Waters added, so OHA thought that charging a
higher entrance fee would negatively
affect participation.
Registration used to be about $10
per horse, or $5 for OHA or 4-H
members, which helped offset costs
for printing fliers and for the awards,
such as best holiday, most creative
and best group costume.
The event was never meant to

For teachers and Oregon

School District officials, it
looks like three-plus years
was well worth the wait.
Voters in the district overwhelmingly approved a
recurring $1.5 million teacher compensation referendum Tuesday night, 7,432 to
4,118 in unofficial results,
with 13 of 16 precincts
reporting by the Observers
press time. Teachers, school
board members and administrators have been working on
the plan since 2013 and had
initially planned on making
it part of the $54.6 million
capital projects referendum
passed in November 2014.
Oregon School Board
President Steve Zach told
t h e O b s e r v e r Tu e s d a y
night district officials are

extremely pleased that the
community embraced the
vision for the districts future
and continued their longstanding support for our children and those we entrust to
educate them.
The recurring referendum part of which would
be paid through the districts fund balance asks
taxpayers to exceed OSDs
state-imposed levy limits by
$1.5 million each year in perpetuity, at a cost of about $76
on a $200,000 home. That is
a flat amount with the same
tax impact year after year.
District officials had said
the plan, which addresses compression in OSD
teachers pay scale, was
needed to keep Oregon competitive in recruiting and
retaining top educators.
Village of Oregon
Board makes counter-offer

for former church property
Conceptual
proposal includes
several conditions
BILL LIVICK
The Village Board continued last week to negotiate the purchase of a North
Main Street property that
could house a library or
senior center.
The board offered to meet
the owners latest asking
price but attached several conditions to a conceptual proposal for the
2.7-acre former Methodist
Church property, including preparing the site to be
construction-ready, village
administrator Mike Gracz
told the Observer on Monday.
That came out of a
closed-session meeting
Thursday. Last month, the
board had offered $680,000
for the property. Owners
Marshall Mennenga and
Robin Roberts countered
with a figure of $860,000.
That was down from an
initial request of $985,000
in September, though the
owners at first solicited
interest from the board
without specifying a price.
It is assessed at $687,000.
The board on Thursday
agreed to the new price but
attached five conditions,

The village cut tens of

thousands of dollars through
lower salaries for the clerks
office after the retirement of
Carol Strause, lower costs
for the Fire/EMS District
and more than $40,000 less
than last year planned for
capital projects.
The proposed budget offsets that with a new public
works position, Kuhlman
said.
The village had the opposite problem last year,
spending an hours-long
meeting going through the
budget line-by-line to cut
what it could to avoid a proposed 2.7 percent increase
in the mill rate. After making those cuts, the mill rate
ended up dropping by 6
cents from 2014.
Kuhlman did not speculate on what the board could
consider adding to the budget to bring the levy up.

Village of Brooklyn residents would get a 72 cent

drop in their tax rate if the
board approves the 2017
budget as proposed.
But village clerk Linda
Kuhlman doesnt expect that
to happen.
More than likely, that is
not going to stay, Kuhlman
told the Observer. We just
cant take that big of a jump
down, because in the next
year or two it would probably be hurting us as far as
the levy goes.
The Village Board will
hold a public hearing on the
budget Tuesday, Nov. 15, at
6:30p.m. at Village Hall.
As proposed, the budget would bring the 2016
mill rate down to $8.44 per
$1,000 of property value,
from $9.16 last year. The
owner of a $200,000 home
would pay $144 less for the
villages portion of their
property taxes. The exact
rate will differ depending on
residency in either Green or
Dane county.
But that $60,000 drop
in the levy, Kuhlman said,
would create a lower starting point that would limit
the towns ability to spend
next year.
If something were to
come up that the village
needed money-wise, then
we dont have enough to
cover it, she explained.

Hit and run driver out on bail

The driver who allegedly hit
and killed a bicyclist in the Town
of Oregon earlier this year is out
of jail on bail.
Online court records show
Kevin Meister, of Brooklyn,
posted $5,000 Nov. 3, which
combined with a previously posted $5,000 to reach the $10,000
level.
Meister faces up to 50 years in
prison on charges of hit and run
involving death,
second-degree
reckless homicide
and possession of
drug paraphernalia.
The 36-yearold man allegedly hit and killed Meister
33-year-old bicyclist Shelton Berel the morning of Aug. 5. The police incident report reports witnesses
described Meister drove entirely on the wrong side of the road
that morning.
After allegedly hitting Berel,

Meister continued his drive to
work. Police identified him later
in the day based on a tip related
to the description of his truck,
according to the report.
Meister previously got out
on bail and eventually faced a
charge of bail jumping after he
allegedly tried to use fake urine
to avoid the discovery of drugs in
his system.
The Wisconsin State Journal
reported that police now suspect
Meister was using heroin the
morning of the accident and are
awaiting test results.
Conditions of Meisters bail
include that he cannot drive, use
or possess drug paraphernalia or
have any contact with any family
member of Berels.
A status conference is set for
Dec. 1, with jury trial expected
to begin the week of Feb. 20.

Stoughton Courier Hub Verona Press
Bringing out the inner

optimist in all of us
hen I was in high

school, I was invited to
attend the scholarship
ceremony.
That blew my mind.
Sure, Id had reasonable
grades to get into college, but
our class was extremely competitive with advanced coursework
and my 3.2 GPA at the time
landed me in the 50 percent area
for ranking in
our school. So
it was hard to
conceive that
I would be
considered for
a scholarship
by any adult
with a sound
mind when
Snethen
there were so
many other
students who had better grades
than I did.
I saw the $300 Art Club scholarship from my high school
art teacher as an incredibly
generous contribution toward
my future education. It was particularly useful considering the
financial issues my parents had
to deal with in a one-income
household at the time.
When I asked my teacher why
she awarded me the scholarship
over so many other deserving
students, her answer also blew
me away. She said simply that
she enjoyed how optimistic and
passionate I was about my art
and going to college for interior design and that she knew
I would go places in the world
with that kind of attitude
something I didnt realize I had.
Now, 15 years later, I find
myself reflecting on that
moment as I learn about the
local Oregon Optimist Club
(OOC) and its scholarship
programs from its president,

Mary Kay Clark.
Clark has been described by
her fellow club members as
someone who truly embraces
optimism in her heart through
her volunteering and leadership.
I had the opportunity to hear
her speak about the OOC at a
presentation several weeks ago,
reciting the Optimist Creed,
which can best be described as
something each of us should
read to ourselves as we get
ready to start each day to bring
about a positive attitude.
The word optimist really fits the OOC mission: By
providing hope and a positive
vision, optimists bring out the
best in youth, communities, and
themselves. OOC has brought
this mission to life through their
tireless work in the Oregon
community. They focus on the
bringing out the best in kids in
the Oregon community through
community service programs.
What you might not see is all
of the hard work by the OOC
and other community members
to bring the Oregon Splash Pad
idea to fruition.
OOC member Margaret
Straub has taken on the leadership role for this particular
project. Even as I sat across
from her at lunch to hear out her
story on the fundraising efforts,
I could tell she was exhibiting
not just the optimist attitude that
OOC creed displays, but passion passion to bring together
community businesses, clubs,
and individuals to bring this
great project to the Oregon community.
It is the OOCs desire to bring
the idea of a splash pad to life
so that children in the community could have a little joy and
laughter on a hot summers day

for years to come.
Straub paired up with Deb
Bossingham, aquatics director
at the Oregon Pool, to help
get the project underway. The
team dedicated to the project
is almost done with the plans
and has already started talking
to local business and individuals about fundraising efforts
through monetary donations,
construction materials and volunteer time.
OOC has spent countless
hours exploring how other
splash pads in the area were
conceived and financed in
order to come up with the most
cost-effective approach while
maintaining the fun of a splash
pad for Oregon.
At OOC meetings held the
first Thursday of the month
members evaluate community
needs they see and begin sharing
ideas. Each member takes on
her or his own ideas for community work.
OOC also gives out awards at
each of their meetings to middle
and high school students displaying positive character traits.
One high school senior receives
a $1,000 scholarship each year
from the pool of seniors recognized at the monthly meetings.
As it turns out, my high
school art teacher was right
about optimism and passion. It
really can make you go places in
the world, and the Oregon Optimist Club is a perfect example
of human beings with the right
attitude in place to get a mission
done right here in Oregon.
Rachel Snethen is the president of Oregon Rotary Club.

Police overtime fee applies to

Continued from page 1

be a fundraiser for OHA,
but Waters said the group
cant absorb the cost.
Its more of a breakeven thing, she said. The
whole idea is to try to promote business in downtown
Oregon and promote it as
the horse capital.
Waters told the Observer she started making plans
for this years event in late
June, which also included reserving the Oregon
High School parking lot as
a staging area and for families to see the horses up
close after the event. She
told the Observer it took a
couple of months (end of
August, early September)
before she found out about
the traffic control fees from
the police department and
village staff.
We didnt have sufficient time to find a sponsor
to cover costs, she said.
We didnt feel confident
that we could pull it off and
still be able to advertise.
Waters said she could
not say for sure whether
the event would return

next year; because of the
time and effort it takes to
organize the event and the
new costs, it really just
depends.
We would consider it
if we had the appropriate
sponsorship, she added.
If someone commits every
year, that would be different.
The Oregon Area Chamber of Commerce, which
had sometimes been
referred to as one of the
sponsors, used to have a
bigger role in the event
when the parade first started
in 2008. In recent years, the
chamber has mainly been
responsible for designing
the fliers and promoting the
event through its newsletter
rather than providing financial assistance, Waters said.
In response to the statement on the OHAs Facebook page, Alice Seeliger
said she was president of
the chamber when there
was a push to change the
v i l l a g e s h o r s e s l o g a n
since new people didnt
identify with the theme.
Without a presence such

as the parade, it could lose
its significance again, she
wrote. I hope something
can be done to keep this
alive.
Someone else suggested
the parade could be moved
to Evansville, where there
are no parade duty fees.
Waters appreciated the
thought but told the Observer the meaning of the event
would be lost without the

Scott De Laruelle
construction engineer Greg

Petersen told the Observer
the county has been doing
the same permit process
for 10 years to ensure safety and so events are not in
conflict with transportation, but it does not charge
for a permit fee.

police fee can be directed

has not happened yet.
OHA president Barb
Waters said 2016 was the

The shadow of a horse and rider, dressed as the Wicked Witch of the West, is shown during
the holiday horse parade in 2014.
The Oregon Horse

A s s o c i a t i o n m a y h ave
said Whoa to the holiday horse parade, but the
Village Boards policy
charging for police presence affects other entities,
too.
All special events and
the school district are also
subject to police overtime
fees.
Village finance/treasurer Lisa Novinska said the
Oregon School District has
been required to pay overtime for police presence
in the school buildings
and at events, such as
home football games and
dances, for the past couple of years.
We charge them at
the overtime rate because
thats above and beyond
the normal hours of any
of our police officers,
she said.
Novinska said the policy stems back to
the police department
cannot work outside of
the realms of working
for the village. So anytime theyre working for
the village and theyre in
uniform, they have to be
paid.
Vi l l a g e a d m i n i s t r a tor Mike Gracz told the
Observer that the policy
is not typically something we deal with on a
regular basis since there
are not many special
events in the village. He
said a bike ride in June
and some events at Summer Fest qualified this
year.
This is a boards decision to start trying to
recover police department overtime for budgeting reasons, he said.
Gracz did not remember how the horse parade
was handled last year and
could not recall the timeline that conversations
took place between the
village and OHA.
Through the chamber,
we made the offer to the
organizer, if she wanted to she couldve come
and talked with the board
about asking to have
those waived, but we
couldnt do that administratively, Gracz told the

Waging Peace
Our society often glories in war and the waging
of war, and we justifiably praise the virtues of the
good soldier, whose courage and fighting skills
help to keep us safe and protect us from our enemies. But should we not also praise those who
devote their lives to peace and who try to find
peaceful means of resolving disputes? Wise Generals agree that war should be a last resort, and in
our personal lives too we should find every means
of avoiding conflict before coming to blows or
even engaging in verbal warfare. Are you a source
of peace and calmness at work and in your home
or a source of strife and division? There are those
who seem to thrive on strife and like to argue and
sow division wherever they go. If you cant turn
them around with a kind word or a soft look, then it
might be best to just leave them alone. Its hard to
have a fight all by yourself, though some people try
hard to do just that. Strive for peace in your life and
see if it doesnt spread to those around you.
Christopher Simon, Metro News Service
Make every effort to live in peace with everyone
and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the
Lord.

From Nov. 1-8

Grade: Freshman
Sport: Swimming

Freshman Jenna Dobrinsky finished 15th overall in both her individual events Saturday with a season-best 2 minutes, 1.29 seconds in the 200yard freestyle and a 5:24.1 in the 500 free, respectively.
Seconds shy of state

JEREMY JONES
Sports editor
The Oregon/Belleville girls

swimming team knew two of
its relays at last weeks WIAA
Division 1 sectional meet in
Middleton would be on the cusp
of making state.
They barely missed in both.
Junior Carolyn Christofferson, Polish exchange student
senior Ania Grzelewska and
freshmen Mary OMalley and
Jenna Dobrinsky opened Saturdays meet with a seventh-place
finish in the medley relay with
a school-record 1 minute, 53.43
seconds.
Even though it was a season-best by 4.75 seconds, the
quartet missed the state cut by

2.1 seconds, as Hudson wrapped
up the 24th and final state qualifier in 1:51.33.
The same Oregon quartet finished eighth overall in the 200yard freestyle relay (1:42.79),
but Chippewa Falls/McDonnell
Central earned the final state
qualifier in 1:41.37.
Oregon hasnt had a state
qualifier since Natalie Shirk in
2011.
Qualifying for state was the
goal all season, but no matter
what, we were all super happy
with our time, Christofferson
said. Its been so much fun
working with the two freshman
and Ania this year.
Swimming in the same lane
every day at practice, the girls

have all gotten close over the
course of the season.
When we heard we were getting an exchange student, we all
wanted to know where she was
from, Christofferson said. Ania
hopped in the pool the first day
and she was amazing. Shes been
swimming for 10 years and she
just wowed up from day one.
OMalley had an individual-best 13th-place finish in the
100 breaststroke for the Panthers
with a time of 1:11.97. She also
took 14th overall with nearly
a two second PR in the 200 IM
with a 2:19.34.
Dobrinsky finished 15th overall in both her individual events
with a season-best 2:01.29 and
5:24.1 in the 200 and 500 free,

respectively.
Christofferson placed 17th in
the 50 free (25.58) and the 100
backstroke (1:02.93). Grzelewska matched the finish in the 100
free (57.33).
Seniors Grace Przybyl,
Makayla Kapalczynski and
Katie Uhl and junior Ellen Martin closed out the season by taking 12th place with nearly an
eight-second PR on the 400 free
relay.
While the Panthers faced the
top two teams in the Division 2
last week at the Badger South
Conference meet, it was a big
step up to face some of the best

The board also clarified that it would need
control of the entire site,
Gracz said. In an email to
the owners, he wrote that
the board had learned the
owners may be interested
in maintaining a lot on the
north side of the property
to build a duplex or some
other structure but that the
village would not agree to
such an arrangement.
He said the village
would begin drafting a formal purchase agreement if
the owners are interested.
Gracz suggested that
environmental issues
would likely be included as contingencies in
the purchase agreement
and asked that the owners
provide the village with a
copy of the Phase 1 environmental assessment of
the site they had previously conducted.

proposal to build an assisted living facility on the site
after neighborhood residents objected to the idea,
largely because of the size

the village was in the midst

contacted the village about
buying the land for a new
municipal building there.

End-of-season goal
Girls soccer team
spends last practice
picking up trash
SAMANTHA CHRISTIAN
Rather than having the

Oregon Soccer Club U-1314 team run drills for their
last practice of the season,
coach Don Ledwidge had
another goal in mind.
Garbage bags in hand,
the group of girls in orange
swarmed downtown Oregon Thursday, Nov. 3, picking up everything in their
path. They spent a couple
hours that afternoon filling over four bags of trash
they found while wandering through the skate park
and fields at Jaycee Park,
as well as the Netherwood
Knoll playground, pool,
library, senior center and
Waterman Triangle Park.
I feel so good cleaning up the community,
12-year-old Maddy Grender said while looking for
garbage outside the library.
The girls then walked next
door to the senior center
and giggled upon spotting a
bunch of cigarette butts by
the bushes. Each find had
a story, even if it was just
trash.
Ledwidge said he was
inspired by the sixth grade
football teams leaf raking
day and came up with the
idea for the girls to clean up

the village, adding that public works assistant director
Gary Disch suggested places
that could use more attention.
We as a sports community need to give back to the
community who are here to
cheer us on, he said.
Its our civic responsibility, added assistant coach
Skeeter Stull.
The activity started as
a way to help the village,

but it also provided an outlet for the girls to have fun
and build teamwork. After
their excursion, the team
walked to Marias Pizza to
treat themselves for a job
well done. Their final soccer
game was Saturday, Nov. 5.

Distant Cuzins win

breakthrough artist
competition
Jim Robarts, Lisa Case Doro (hidden), Dale Ward, Lorie Docken and Bob Batyko make up the Sparetime Bluegrass Band.
Bluegrass band
performs at library
The Sparetime Bluegrass Band performed at
the Oregon Public Library on Friday, Nov. 4. The
Madison area band includes Bob Batyko (guitar), Jim Robarts (banjo), Dale Ward (mandolin
and dobro), Lorie Docken (upright bass) and Lisa
Case Doro (violin).

At right, Josh Homulos, of Oregon, and his daughter
Claira, 2, applaud the band after moving to the beat
of a song.
The rock band Distant Cuzins, composed of four Oregon High School
seniors, won the Madison Area Music
Associations Breakthrough Artist of
the Year competition last weekend.
On Saturday, the band OHS seniors
Nate Krause, Ben Lokuta, Sam Miess
and Nic Tierman competed against
seven other emerging Madison-area
bands covering a variety of genres. Distant Cuzins was the youngest band in
the competition, which was judged by
music industry professionals.
The band won a package of prizes,
including recording time at Blast House
Studios in Madison and a performance
at the MAMA Annual Awards in June
2017.
Distant Cuzins also won the 2016
Rockonsin state competition for high
school garage bands at Milwaukee
SummerFest in July.
Miess, lead guitarist and Lokuta, the
drummer, began making music together
in 2008 when both were fourth-graders.
They formed a band that lasted a few
years and decided to get more serious by
the time theyd reached seventh grade.
In 2011, Krause and Tierman joined
them and the band became Distant Cuzins. All four are multi-instrumentalists,
with Tierman serving as the bands lead
singer, bassist and keyboard player, and
Krause performing on rhythm guitar
and vocals.
The Madison Area Music Association
raises money to foster the next generation of musicians by helping fund youth
music programs. The MAMA works
with area school districts and community groups in the Madison area.
