Finally finished
Oregon Middle School renovations complete after 19 months

If you think road construction sea-
son lasts a long time, just ask Ore-
gon Middle School staff and students
about the nearly two years of projects
that just wrapped up.
The extensive renovations and
additions to the school part of the
successful $54.6 capital projects ref-
erendums of 2014 started in July
2015 and finished earlier this month.
While it hasnt even been two weeks
of quiet around the school, OMS
principal Shannon Anderson told the
Observer she does miss part of the
construction process.
We developed a really nice rela-
tionship with the staff at (contractor
J.H.) Findorff (and Sons), so we miss
the people that came to our building
every day to work. Otherwise, she
paused, then laughed. Its nice not
to have to problem-solve and nego-
tiate the elements of constructions
during that process.
It feels good to focus on other
things, she added. We feel very
grateful for the support the Oregon
School District community has given
so we can have these spaces for our
learners.
Long process
When workers finished up the
flooring of the expanded cafeteria
about 10 days ago, it marked the final
piece of the puzzle that started in
January 2016, when the schools new
entrance and redesigned main office
space was completed.
That took first priority because it
was a security and safety issue, said
district superintendent Brian Busler,
who noted that the previous set up
had the office located in the center
of the school with no direct access or
supervision of the entrance area.
The second phase was interior
remodeling, which was completed by
the end of last summer including
enclosing the library, putting in new
flooring and furniture in the library,
and also expanding a nearby main
staircase. Anderson said the new
stairs have gotten rave reviews from
students.
Every single year on our end of
year survey, (students) were con-
cerned about the staircase, which
was too narrow, she said. Now the
students love that.
Some of the changes last summer
were meant to improve spaces for
collaboration between classes, and
even disciplines. Some walls were
knocked down, Anderson said, and
some were added to provide some

different configurations of spaces.
The teachers had a lot of input on
the type of furniture, and trying to
use those larger teen spaces for dif-
ferent types of learning. she said.
They did a really nice job with that.
Anderson said the new, modu-
lar furniture is conducive to small
group collaborations but also flexi-
ble enough that if a student needs to
work by themselves they can. She
said its in line with the districts
emphasis on personalized learning.
Its putting in a structure to give
teachers more options to better meet
the needs of the learners they are
serving, she said. Theres more

The latest projects included an

Zagrodnik sparks Panthers Oregon powers past rival Stoughton
to second conference win JEREMY JONES
Sports editor

ANTHONY IOZZO To Oregon softball coach Sydnee

Assistant sports editor
Connor Zagrodnik played
a huge role in Oregons 7-2
win over Monona Grove
Monday.
Zagrodnik not only tied
the game at 2-2 in the bottom
of the third with a two-run
single, he also knocked in a
run in the fifth and finished
3-for-4 at the plate.
Zagrodnik put the Pan-
thers on the board with a sin-
gle to left-center that brought
home Cedric Girard and Ian
Schildgen (2-for-3).
Then in the fifth, after
Schildgen scored on an error,
Zagrodnik singled to right to
score Eric Modaff (2-for-3)
and make it 4-2.
Oregon blew the game
open in the sixth with three
more runs. Carson Timber-
lake scored on a sacrifice fly
by Girard, and Schildgen sin-
gled home Nick Wacker and
Tyler Damon followed with
an RBI single to bring home
Schildgen.
Brandon Knobel came in
to strike out the last batter
in the seventh for the save.
Ben Prew started and earned
the victory. He went 6 2/3
innings and allowed two
earned runs on six hits and
four walks, striking out four.
Marshall Lehman took the
loss for the Silver Eagles. He
allowed three earned runs
on eight hits and two walks
in five innings, striking out
three.

The Panthers (3-4 over-
all, 3-0 Badger South Con-
ference) traveled to Milton
Tuesday and continued to
rack up wins in the confer-
ence, earning a 4-1 victory.
Schildgen had a double
and an RBI, and Helmkamp
picked up a double and a run
scored.
Nik Richardson and Hau-
fle also picked up RBIs, and
Cole Scott finished 2-for-3.
Girard earned the win on
the mound. He allowed an
earned run on six hits and a
walk in five innings, striking
out five.
Knobel picked up the save,
allowing two hits in two
innings and striking out four.
Wyss, the difference between this sea-
sons team and the one she took over last
year is a combination of maturity and
perseverance.
The Panthers needed every bit of both
qualities Monday evening to survive a
3-1 pitchers duel at Badger South Con-
ference rival Stoughton.
Pitcher Hannah Christiansen scattered
five hits over seven innings and battery
mate Jayme Zander cracked a two-run
home run in the first inning to help the
Panthers improve to 3-0 in conference
for the first time in more than a decade.
Stoughton had a chance to tie or steal
the win in the bottom of the seventh,
after Stacy Benoy reached on an error
by shortstop Meghan Detra.
Kayley Novotny, who represented
the tying run, singled to second base
with no outs, and Sophia Klawitter
advanced both runners into scoring
position with a sacrifice bunt. But Chris-
tiansen bore down in the circle, striking
out Lela Brashi before getting lead-off
hitter Maddie Brickson to hit a full-
count ground ball to third base. Despite
one-hopping the throw to first base,
Kyrsten George was able to record the
final out. Photo by Jeremy Jones

team still has work to do on

The third-ranked Panthers
(2-0-2 overall) generated
14 shots and finished with
eight shots on goal. Much
of their inability to find the
net can be attributed to los-
ing 90 percent of their scor-
ing from the last few years,
but there are also chemistry
issues that are natural at the
start of a season.
The good news for Ore-
gon, coach Julie Grutzner
said, is the talent and poten-
tial is there.
We have to figure out
how we can generate
offense with other girls that
are just as talented but dont
have the experience quite
yet, Grutzner said.
The Panthers have an

lot of players in, putting

taxes on new or improved

underlying taxing jurisdic-
tions under the condition
they would not occur but
for the assistance. It can
be used, among other ways,
to clear or renew blighted
property, to make an area or
a municipality competitive
with others or to close a gap
in financing capability.
As the board had dis-
cussed in broad strokes last
month, the new district is
more than anything intend-
ed to be an overlay of the
old downtown TIF district,
meaning it would essen-
tially override the old one
and assume all property
taxes from increased value
in the district. Creating the
district would allow the vil-
lage to take on new projects
including the Jefferson
Street Crossing redevel-
opment downtown that
might not be feasible with
the 15 years remaining in
debt-ridden TID 3.
Before the board was
ready to give its blessing
to the boundaries which
would go through a Plan
Commission review in July
and return to the board in
August trustees got a
refresher from Vandewal-
le on the rules of TIF, the
villages three existing dis-
tricts and the financial situ-
ations of each one.
And because the bound-
aries had been more or less
determined, pending the
boards consent, Vandewalle
had more detailed informa-
tion on the projected $32
million incremental value
of the district which gives
a sense of how much the
board can spend on it.
Planner Dan Johns told
the board the new district
essentially restarts the
clock for TIF downtown
after the economic downturn
of 2008 to about 2013.
TID 3 has been kind of
underperforming a little bit,
but thats largely because
of the recession, he said.
There was a lot of devel-
opment that we expected to
occur around 08-09 that
didnt occur for economic
reasons. We feel the market
is now right for those things
to occur.
Already, three major
projects are planned with-
in the district Jefferson
