Oregon Summer Fest, held

over four days last week,
couldnt have gone much
more smoothly.
That was the assessment
of the events chief organizer, Judy Knutson, executive
director of the Oregon Area
Chamber of Commerce.
Ive gotten so many
emails from people in the village its unbelievable, she
said Monday. They loved
the fireworks. They loved
the parade. Everything just
worked out wonderfully, and
of course the weather cooperated.
Knutson said shed been at
the festival grounds cleaning
up Monday, and an older
couple came back just to say
thank you.
It makes you smile when
people tell you that, she
said.
Knutson thinks the

fireworks display, which

returned to Summer Fest
after missing the last 12
years, stood out most in peoples minds. They were set
off at dusk on Thursday, and
Knutsons pretty sure theyll
be back as an annual thing.
Weve got to look at it
and make sure it makes sense
(financially), but Im almost
sure well do it, she told the
Observer.
What else stood out? The
live music, the classic walk/
run and the parade on Sunday.
The band Cherry Pie performed Friday night. Their
concert was so well attended
that Knutson has already
booked them for next year.

Tornado damages

Keith Kramer was lying

in bed when a tornado
rolled through the Town
of Dunn Sunday night.
When I heard the roof
of the barn land on my
house I kind of figured
something was wrong,
Kramer said Monday.
He and his wife went
downstairs as he called
9-1-1 to let them know

his house and land, which

includes Triple K Stables
at 4721 Schneider Drive,
had been hit. He also took
a quick look out the window and saw a car sitting
on the road, sitting under
a bunch of live power
lines.
Although the confirmed
EF1 tornado did plenty of
tree damage and tore up
parts of his barn, Kramer
was focused on what was
not damaged.
No biggie, he said.
Nobody got hurt, none of
the horses got hurt.

Dane County

Board reaches deal with employees

Dane County has reached a collective bargaining agreement with its largest employees union through 2016 after the
board approved the deal last Thursday.
According to a press release from Dane County Executive
Joe Parisi, the agreement will include a focus on workplace
diversity, a modest wage increase for workers and will help
control the countys long-term health insurance premium
costs.
Dane Countys employees work hard to deliver critical
services to our residents every day from keeping our communities safe to taking care of the most vulnerable among
us, he said. We are proud to partner with them once again
and provide an example of how collective bargaining works
in Dane County.
Parisi said hes worked with the countys union workforce
to find nearly $4 million in savings in the past three years
through voluntary leave, wage reductions and furlough days
to assist with budget challenges and help protect funding for
the vital services county government provides.
Shannon Maier, president of the joint council of AFSCME
locals 705 and 720, said the agreement shows the wisdom
of working together and honors Dane County values.
The vast majority of Dane County citizens support collective bargaining and quality public services, Maier said.
County board chairperson Sharon Corrigan said the agreement improves wages and respects workers.
We have a long tradition of respect for workers in Dane
County, and Im pleased to continue that tradition, she said.
Our employees are hardworking, dedicated public servants
who have earned that respect, not to mention a bit of a raise.
I thank Dane County Executive Joe Parisi, his team, and
AFSCME locals 705 and 720 for negotiating in a spirit of
good faith and cooperation, and bringing us a contract were
proud to approve.
Whatever anyone believes at the state level, we can do
great things when we work together, Corrigan added. Here
in Dane County, we continue to prove that every year.
According to the press release, the agreement includes
the creation of a joint labor/management committee that
will strive to increase minority recruitment and retention in
the countys represented workforce a key focus of Parisi,
county board members and labor leaders. It also provides
employees with a raise in 2016 of .22 cents per hour, paid for
in part by savings the county will receive from changes in the
employees health insurance plans.
The countys workforce is operating under an existing
contract through 2014. A one-year agreement for 2015 was
approved last year.

County voters to weigh in on wages

Minimum wage referendum on November ballot
Should Wisconsin
increase the minimum
wage to $10.10 an hour?
Thats a question Dane
County voters will get to
decide on in November
after the Dane County
Board of Supervisors last
week approved adding
it to the fall ballot. The
resolution reads, in part,
We cannot expect Dane
County, Wisconsin, or
the nation to thrive and
recover from the current
economic downturn if
people working full time
jobs do not earn enough
money to surviveto
feed and house themselves, let alone their
children and families.
Supervisor Carousel
Bayrd, the lead sponsor
of the resolution, said the
county is joining dozens of other communities across the state in an
effort to raise the minimum wage from $7.25
per hour. According to the
resolution text, if the minimum wage had kept pace
with inflation since 1968,
it would now be nearly
$11 per hour.
Wisconsinites who
work a full days work
deserve enough money
to support themselves
and their families, she

said. Under the current minimum wage, it

is impossible for full
time Dane County workers to feed and house
themselves. We should
be ashamed of that. I
am confident that Dane
County voters, and voters across Wisconsin,
will support an increase
in the minimum wage, to
give all working families
and chance to survive and
thrive in Wisconsin.
Dane County Board
chair Sharon Corrigan
said raising the minimum
wage will lift thousands
of Wisconsinites out of
poverty and reduce reliance on government programs.
This referendum
essentially asks Dane
County voters if they
want to stop subsidizing businesses who pay
their workers so little that
those workers must rely
on government assistance
to survive, she said.
Dane County Clerk Scott
McDonell said the referendum is not likely to
increase the cost of conducting the November
election.

Letters to the editor

Send Sheridan back to state Capitol

I was born with congenital total
deafness in my left ear and partial deafness in right ear. As an
adult while working with UAW
president Mike Sheridan at GM,
I encountered what would be my
worst nightmare in life losing
my hearing completely. In the
year following, I had encountered
my own battle with my insurance. It took a year before receiving my cochlear implant which
has restored my hearing in my
right ear. Mike saw the struggles I
encountered that year.
At the time legislation was
introduced that required insurance companies to cover the cost
for hearing aids and cochlear
implants for children who are deaf
or hearing impaired. After the bill
failed to pass in 2008, I lobbied

Sheridan to push this legislation.

He encouraged me to speak before
the committee about my experience, and he shared my story with
his colleagues. He explained how
I was given another opportunity
at life. I went back to college and
doubled my efforts through community service to help our veterans.
As I spoke my voice, Mike listened. I know Mike will represent
our citizens well in our 15th Senate District.
Lets send Mike back to Madison to fight for us, he listens.

The Oregon area does not have

a formal, comprehensive plan
to address dementia, but it has
put several supports in place.
The senior center has an adult
day program three mornings
each week, which offers mental,
physical and social stimulation
to at-risk seniors, including those
who have dementia. The type of
programming offered can slow
the process of decline at the same
time it offers caregivers a break
from their 24/7 responsibilities.
The senior center offers a caregivers support group each month,
for care providers of all types. It
also helps connect seniors who
no longer drive with transportation to appointments, to the
grocery store, and to the centers
meal site.
The villages police department has recently created a
voluntary registry for families
of people with dementia. People
register information about their
loved one who suffers from
dementia, and the officers then
have that information if they
encounter someone who does not
know where they belong.
Two of the assisted living
facilities in town, Main Street
Quarters and Sienna Meadows, offer short-term care for
people with dementia, which can
allow their caregivers respite,
as well as long-term placement. Oregon Manor can admit
dementia patients for short- or
long-term placement, as well,
if they require a greater level of
care than can be provided at an
assisted living.
These are all valuable resources, but more could be accomplished with more directed effort
and with a broader plan in mind.
Watertown is working to
become the first dementia
friendly community in Wisconsin, and the entire state of Minnesota is striving to prepare for the
increasing number of people who
live with dementia. Many parts
of Europe have been working at
becoming dementia-friendly for
several years.
For a person with dementia,

living in a dementia-friendly
community means being able to
live safely and independently,
engaged in the community, for
a longer period of time. For
caregivers, living in a dementiafriendly community means more
and better support. For society,
it means reducing the high costs
associated with the institutional
care that many dementia sufferers require.
A dementia-friendly (or
dementia-capable) community
is one that supports its citizens
living with dementia, as well as
their caregivers.
It provides education to its
population about dementia. It
offers training to its business
people and others who deal with
the public. It offers services such
as transportation, adult day programs and memory cafes (gatherings with planned entertainment
or activities where caregivers and
those with dementia can enjoy
social interaction).
Becoming dementia-friendly is
a process that starts with evaluations to determine what a community has and what it lacks.
It involves putting together a
committee of interested people,
including people who serve
seniors, but also other community, faith and business leaders,
as well as people who live with
dementia or who have loved ones
living with dementia.
If you are intrigued by the possibility presented by a dementiacapable community, Google
Minnesotas statewide initiative
(known as Act on Alz) and look
at the toolkits for communities
that Minnesota has been using.
Becoming dementia-friendly as
a community is a large undertaking, but one with many potential
benefits.
Rachel Brickner is a case
manager at the Oregon Area
Senior Center. If you are interested in serving on a committee
to begin the process of becoming
a dementia friendly community,

Charges filed
against roofer
Worked in county
fixing 11 hail damage
After complaints from
customers in three counties,
including Dane, the state
has charged Daniel Steiner,
owner of Midwest Roofing,
with theft by contractor for
alleged incidents in 2011.
In a press release issued
this week, Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen said
the complaints allege Steiner contracted with homeowners in 2011 to repair
hail damage to their roofs.
After the homeowners paid
the defendant, the defendant stopped returning their
calls and did not repair

their roofs, according to the

complaints.
According to the Dane
County criminal complaint,
Steiner charged homeowners in Madison and Middleton for work on their roofs
that was never completed.
Steiner told investigators he
filed for bankruptcy. He is
facing two felony charges
of theft by contractor.
The matter was referred
by the Wisconsin Better
Business Bureau and investigated by the Department
of Justice Consumer Protection Unit. Victim services are being provided by
the Wisconsin Department
of Justice.

John Dugglebys Kitchen Band

At 10:45 a.m. Friday, July 25, the
senior center is hosting musician John
Duggleby. He has brought music and
drumming many times to the Oregon
Senior Center, and his Beat Generation kitchen band raids the pantry for
pots, pans, homemade shakers and
other found instruments to cook
up a free-wheeling stew of familiar
songs.
As zookeeper for this musical
menagerie, he simultaneously plays
tricked-out kazoos and washboards,
and brings along a genuine washtub
bass for someone to join the reverie.
Its sonic serendipity, loose and lively.

Be Yourself
All too often in life there is pressure to conform to what others
think we should be. Parents may pressure their children to be
what they think of as ideal sons or daughters. Young people feel
the pressure of looking, talking and acting the right way so that
their peers will perceive them as being cool. In our work lives we
are expected to live up to the organizations standards and to be
the face of the organization while we are at work and representing them. And of course we all think that everyone should believe
as we do on important matters of faith and morals. But, since God
created us, then perhaps we should trust that our true nature will
not lead us astray. God has implanted instincts in all of us which
serve both for our own survival as well as for the survival of the
species as a whole. We spend too much time and effort wearing
masks when we should really just try to be ourselves. How boring it would be if everyone conformed to others standards. We
should trust that God has made us perfect in our own way and
strive to be the best version of ourselves that we can be.
- Christopher Simon via Metro News Service
Do not let your adorning be externalthe braiding of hair and the
putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear but let your
adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable
beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in Gods sight is very
precious.
1 Peter 3:3-4

Making a map
Kids at Netherwood Knoll Elementary School will be able to learn geography as they play outside,
thanks to a recent community service project. On May 28, volunteers from AT&T Pioneers and
Dorn Hardware in Oregon teamed up to paint a 20-foot by 30-foot mural of the United States on the
Netherwood playground.

turned out to be unfounded.
They filled the tent, so we
were OK with that, she said.
Knutson estimated that the
parade had 80 to 90 entries
well above last years number.
We have five marching bands in it and a lot of
floats, she said.
The folks at Oregon Community Bank and Trust
judged the parade and chose
Faith Evangelical Lutheran
Church as the best float, followed by second-place winner Langs Family Terror.

Knutson thinks the chamber made more money than
last year at its biggest annual fundraiser. On the other
hand, the chamber shared the
cost of the fireworks with the
Oregon Lions Club.
We spent quite a bit of it

because the Oregon police
officers were there in uniform.
We felt that was a big part
of the well-behaved crowd,
Knutson said. All of the
police officers said that about
the crowd. There were no
fights or anything like that.
The Safe Ride Home program was well used on Friday and Saturday nights,
Knutson said.
She mentioned that the
carnivals earnings were
up 25 percent, a fraction of

well.
Everything just fell into

that the weather was a big,
big part of the success.

Ask The Oregon

SENIOR CARE

Q. Why cant I taste my food like I used to?

A. We are born with 9,000 taste buds, which work with your sense of smell, which relies on odors. Your sense

of smell and taste change as you age because the number of taste buds decreases. The rest begin to shrink, losing
mass vitals to their operation. After age 60, you may begin to lose the ability to distinguish the taste of sweet, salty,
sour, and bitter foods. The sense of smell begins to fade after age 70; which exacerbates the loss of taste for those
affected. Loss of taste can result in loss of nutrition. Losing the senses of taste and smell can diminish appetites.
The aroma of a delicious meal suddenly does not smell or taste as it once did, so you may not eat as well. You
may lose interest in fruits, vegetables and other dishes that provide nourishment critical to maintaining good

health. Saliva production also diminishes with age resulting in dry mouth and difficulty swallowing. Overcome
these obstacles by adding spices and seasonings to food to enhance flavor. For example, you can add garlic to
mashed potatoes or marinate your favorite meat. Remember to always check the expiration date on all food. Losing your senses of taste and
smell may not be fun, but it does not mean that the good life is over. You can prepare yourself for these changes in advance. Be prepared to
accept change, adapt, and be aware of potential hazards. By doing so, you can commit to aging gracefully every step of the way. Bon Appetit!

VETERINARIAN

Q. Im seeing lots of ticks. Should I be concerned for my animals?

A. Ticks can carry diseases such as Lyme disease and Anaplasmosis. Both of these

tick-borne diseases may cause fever, reluctance to move, and decreased appetite in
dogs and horses. But there is hope! Spot-on flea and tick control is available for cats,
dogs, and horses. Some products offer stable fly, gnat and mosquito control but the
products are not created equal and some are not safe for cats. Ask your veterinarian
which products are the best for your dog, cat or horse.

Kelsey Jahns year, which included firstteam all-conference honors and a trip to her
second straight sectional final, got even better as she was named on the Wisconsin Soccer Coaches Association Best of the Rest
All-State list.
Jahn, a midfielder, helped lead the Panthers as a captain after the team lost 12
seniors from 2013, and Oregon was able to
not only share the Badger South Conference
its third straight title but also get back to
within a game from the state tournament.
Jahn finished with 10 goals and eight
assists this season.
The First Eleven on the All-State list were

Home Talent League

Weekend could make-or-break Orioles season

ANTHONY IOZZO
Assistant sports editor

An 11-1 loss at Dodgeville (8-3) in seven innings last Sunday was not what the
Oregon Home Talent team was hoping for
in the thick of the Western Section playoff
race.
However, Hollandale lost to Mount
Horeb/Pine Bluff, which keeps the Orioles
(5-6) in sixth place, clinging on to the final
playoff spot.
And that means that the next weekend
of home games vs. Hollandale (5-6) at 1
p.m. Friday and vs. Mount Horeb/Pine Bluff
(6-5) at 1 p.m. Sunday could make-orbreak Oregons season, player/manager
Eric Engler said.
We lost three weeks ago to Argyle 10-0
and put it behind us and bounced back with
three wins, Engler said. We are pretty
resilient I dont think the Dodgeville
game is going to affect us moving forward.
Oregon also started the season 0-4 and
bounced back, which Engler said is because

the younger high schoolers that joined the

team including Ross Galloway, Abe Maurice and Logan Laski were able to improve
and excel and the rest of the team improved
on both defense and timely hitting.
The team that was on the field for those
four games that went 0-4 compared to the
team that we have now with the addition of
high school players we are a much stronger team, Engler said. We have a lot more
options.

Dodgeville 11, Oregon 1

Oregons lone run came in the sixth
inning. Kyle Moore walked, stole second
and third and later scored on a wild pitch.
Moore also had a chance to score in the
third inning, which would have tied the
game at 1 at the time, but he was thrown out.
There werent many more chances for the
Orioles, which finished with just four hits.
Dodgeville blew the game open in the
bottom of the third with five runs.
After an out, an error on what could have
been a double-play ball led to seven straight

Oregon School District superintendent Brian Busler, speaking on
his personal opinion and
not an official position
of the school board, said
its always important to
start the school year with
a settled contract with
employee groups. He
said he was pleased when
Krause suggested the sides
actively work on the 201415 school year contract
for a timely settlement.
Though in the past few
years, negotiations have
dragged out to the end of
the school year, Busler said
that in his time at the district, thats been the exception, rather than the norm.
There has always been
an interest in reaching a
voluntary contract settlement in a timely matter,
he said. However, post Act
10, this has been exceedingly challenging due to the
numerous legal opinions on
what the law means, how it
should be interpreted and
its impact on the local bargaining process.
OEA member Jon Fishwild said in the past, the
school board has held hard
and fast to a pretty strict
interpretation of Act 10,
even when some of its provisions have been called
into question by a judicial
body. He said the OEA
has in turn offered language
that allows the sides to
reopen negotiations in the
event a final ruling definitively shows something
in the bargain ran afoul of
state law.
Until very recently, the
school board has shown no
interest in going down this
road, he said.

fallen further and further

behind. He said the districts human assets committee (HAC) has been
cognizant of this disparity and adjusted its thinking, which he appreciates.
We are not opposed to
increasing the starting pay
for a teacher in an attempt
to attract qualified candidates, Lindsey said. It
just cannot continue to take
place without looking at
compensation reform for all
teachers.
The district has been
steadfast in its approach
to wage increases for staff,
Fishwild said, though citing improvement this past
year. At best, this holds
teachers to the same salary,
in real dollars, perpetually,
he said. It wasnt until this
last bargain that the school
board even entertained the
concept of supplementary
pay to recognize the impact
of Act 10 on teacher salaries.
Crediting the new membership of the school board
and HAC as being more
willing to discuss issues
with the OEA, Fishwild
said they seem to be empathetic to the effect of Act 10
on teachers.
They ask, Whats going
on? rather than reply with,
No, and, We havent
heard that before so it must
not be an issue, he said.
That alone has been very
refreshing.

Betty grew up on the
familys dairy farm on Fish

three sisters. She graduated
from Madison West High

with research at the Fish
Hatchery. In 1969, she and
her brother, Al, and sister, Dora, moved the farm
to Oregon and built one of
the first free stall barns in
the area with an automated
milking parlor.
Until Als death in 1976,
they also operated Country Boy Dairy in Stoughton, which included four
retail stores. Bettys skill in
observation and attention to
each animals needs, interest in genetic improvement
and new technology, along
with tireless work ethic,
helped to develop one of
the highest quality producing herds in the state. As
president of Alpine Dairy,
she shared her knowledge
and experience by allowing many university and
school groups to study their
dairy operation. Agriculture leaders from around

Kellers hosted students

Above, damage at Triple K Stables included a tin roof flying off. Owner Keith Kramer said he heard the sound of the roof hitting his houses
roof from his bedroom. The damage to his stables should be covered by insurance. The storm also caused tree damage, right, but Dane
County Emergency Management only received two or three other damage complaints.

Dane County Emergency

Management public information officer J. McLellan
said the agency only received
two or three other damage
reports in the area beyond
Triple K Stables from Sundays storm.
But McLellan also cautioned people to take an
active role in understanding
the severe weather around
them when it takes place.
If you hear a warning,
youre in the warning area,
McLellan said. Youve got
to have a second source of
warning information, have
some sort of redundancy.
People need to be actively
engaged in how they get their
warning information.
With no one hurt, it seems
many did just that Sunday
night and Monday as another
round of severe storms came
through Dane County.
Kramer said the Oregon
and Fitchburg fire departments were extremely helpful, bringing lighting to help
him and the 25 neighbors
and employees start the
cleanup process even without
electricity.
Kramer said he expected
insurance to cover the damages, and with that knowledge and no injuries, I was
having fun with it, including
a call to DirecTV to report
his satellite wasnt working.
The damage is done, he
said. Youve got to learn to
live with it.
