those having any prior experience.
But after qualifying for state last season,
the club sanctioned as a club by Oregon
High School and recognized as a community sport in Stoughton with no affiliation

in its third season, with 16 returning juniors
and seniors.
Still, even with retention levels remaining

Oregon School District
Board looks to increase bullying awareness, education after complaints

Scott De Laruelle
It could not have been easy for a pair of

Oregon High School girls to go in front
of the school board Jan. 11 and talk about
how they had been bullied and sexually
harassed at the school, but their act of
courage is having an effect.
The girls, whose names are being
withheld to protect their privacy) gave

emotional pleas to board members, talking
about how the incidents affected their lives
and how they wanted to see a change
in how the district treats bullying. A parent of one of the girls wrote a letter to the
district, asking for changes to be made in
the co-curricular code before the end of the
school year to start the journey to a safer
high school environment.
After several months of meetings and

refining the districts laws and language
on bullying, the school board is preparing some stronger changes, said policy
committee chairperson Gwen Maitzen,
whose committee was scheduled to discuss the districts bullying policy at its
Tuesday night meeting before sending the
matter back to the board. The policy was
discussed several weeks ago at a board
meeting, where members voted to take it

back to the policy committee for some rewording.
Maitzen credits the girls for coming forward and telling their very personal stories
to the board and the audience at the school
board meeting. She said their actions started the boards recent movement on adjusting the policy.

begin April 13 and will culminate
with Oregon joining in the celebration of International Pay It
Forward Day on April 30.
This week, watch for Pay It

throughout our community. Share

Perhaps someone you didnt
know shoveled your driveway or
paid for your coffee. Or maybe
you helped someone without that
person knowing about it. Let us
know about it so we can show the
rest of the community just how
much kindness there is.
There will be boxes and cards
for you to jot down your story in
businesses and other locations
around town. Youll also be able
to post your own experiences
and follow the experiences of
others on our Facebook Page:

can donate food to the Oregon/

load their groceries into their car.

Bake some cookies and share
them with a neighbor or even
with someone you dont know

telling them about an outstanding

Send flowers to someone.
Acts of kindness can be as
local as your next door neighbor
or as international as a special

finish on April 30, International
Pay it Forward Day. On that day,
people in 70 countries will participate in over three million acts
of kindness around the world.
After Pay it Forward Day,

When the Worst Actually Happens

It is generally good advice to not take our fears and
anxieties too seriously. What we fear the most usually
doesnt happen and thus weve worried and fretted for
nothing. Moreover, the worry and fretting isnt usually
very productive unless it leads to constructive action.
But, what should you do when the worst actually happens, when the job loss you feared actually happens,
or the test results are positive, meaning you have the
disease or condition you feared the most? When this
occurs, it helps to have a strong faith and a good support network. I saw this in action recently when the
school where I taught closed its doors. We had very little
advance notice that this was going to happen, and so
the last week was spent in trying to wrap things up in
the best way possible, for students, teachers and staff.
There were a lot of tears, some gnashing of teeth and
other emotional outbursts, but mostly people expressing their faith that God would work things out for all of
us. Perhaps even more inspiring than the expressions of
faith were the many concrete offers of help and support,
usually given with a hug or a warm handshake. When
the worst actually happens, we have two considerable
sources of support, God and our fellow man. Dont be
too proud to ask for help.
Christopher Simon
And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the
Father may be glorified in the Son. You may ask me for
anything in my name, and I will do it.

Season starts with top competition

Panthers edge Crusaders
for first conference win
Jeremy Jones
Sports editor
In the midst of developing a young

program, the Oregon softball faced
the Division 2 state runner-up and the
Badger South Conference champions
before earning the teams first win of
the season last week.
New London 7, Oregon 0 (5 inn.)

The Panthers opened the season
against New London, which won the
Division 2 state title two years ago
and finished runner-up last season.
Part of a four-team tournament held
in McFarland, five innings Saturday
was all the team would see.
A young team comprised of mainly
underclassmen, Oregon found itself in

a big hole early, allowing seven runs
on four errors in the first inning.
It wasnt a shock to give up a big
inning like that right out of the game,
Panthers head coach Michael Derrick
said. We havent even made it outside to practice so far this spring, so
facing a team like New London in the
first game was a big challenge.
Twenty-nine degrees at the time of
the first pitch with a predicted high in
the upper 30s, Derrick said field conditions began to degrade rapidly as
the ground warmed.
We had a lined drive hit toward
our second basemen which just hit the
ground and stuck in the mud, he said.
The conditions eventually forced
the game, and tournament to be called
after just five innings.
All-in-all with the conditions and
competition we faced, I thought we
played pretty well, Derrick said.

Oregon moved runners into scoring
position twice in the second inning,
but was unable to drive them home.
Sophomore pitcher Lacy Fluckiger
allowed four earned runs on three
walks in five innings. She struck out
three.
Fellow sophomore Julia Schmidt
finished the game 2-for-2 to pace the
Panthers, while the lone senior on the
team, Sara Anderson, was 1-for-2.
Weather forced the Panthers to
cancel their March 26 game against
Parkview and the teams March 28
showdown with McFarland, which
advanced to the Division 2 state semifinal round last year, and AdamsFriendship.
31 at Monroes Twining Park against

the defending conference champion
Cheesemakers and looked much more
competitive.
Though the Panthers lost 9-3,
Oregon struck for three runs in the
fourth for the early lead before Monroe stormed back with nine runs in the
home half of the sixth.
The wheels kind of fell off in the
sixth with such a young team, learning their positions, Derrick said.
Oregon committed five errors in the
decisive inning as Fluckiger allowed
three earned runs, walking four and
striking out two. She gave up 10 hits.
Junior Quincey Newton went 2-for3 at the plate to lead the team, while
Mackenzie Kressin finished 1-for-3.

Boys lacrosse
Panthers shut out in opener

Anthony Iozzo
The Oregon High School boys lacrosse team

opened the season Tuesday at Connor Field in
Verona against the defending champion Wildcats.
Despite holding Verona scoreless for nearly
six minutes, the Wildcats proved to be too much
for the Panthers to handle in a 19-0 Madison
Area Lacrosse Association loss.
Verona senior captain attacker Trey Kazda
led the way with three goals and six assists,
while freshman attacker Graham Sticha had
three goals.
Junior midfielder Dom Sabbarese and sophomore midfielder Jake Keyes added three goals
and an assist each, and freshman midfielder Ian
Edwards picked up two goals.
Oregon allowed nine goals in the second
quarter after falling behind 5-0 in the first.
Verona scored three more times in the third

and added two goals in the fourth.
The Panthers didnt have a shot on goal in the
loss, but they did earn a couple of opportunities.
The best came in the fourth quarter when a
Verona penalty allowed Oregon to have a rare
offensive possession. However, a shot was
blocked and scooped up by the Wildcats.
The Panthers also shot wide of the net early
in the fourth quarter. There was a running clock
in the second half.
Oregon continues the season at 5 p.m. Friday
against Madison Memorial at OHS before traveling to Sauk Prairie at 5 p.m. Tuesday, April
14.
The Panthers host Baraboo at 5 p.m. Friday,
April 17, and it hosts the Shorewood/Whitefish

error to lead things off before
being doubled home by
Schmidt, who later scored the
game-winning run on Kressins game-winning single
back up the middle.
A back-and-forth game the
entire way, Edgewood took
a 3-0 lead in the third inning
thanks to a triple, single and
home run before Oregon
sophomore Jayme Zander
drove in a run in the fourth
and fellow sophomore Jenna
Gratz singled home another
in the fifth. A passed ball
allowed the Panthers to tie the
score.
Were starting the season
off against a quality stretch
of opponents, Derrick said.
So far weve had a number
of girls stepping up to get us
headed in the right direction.
MG 11, Oregon 0 (5 inn.)

Although the temperature at game time was listed
as an optimistic 48 degrees
Tuesday, a gradually increasing wind steadily chilled the
Panthers en route to an 11-0
loss at home against Monona
Grove.
Meanwhile, the Silver
Eagles, who brought their
own heater, came out red hot.
Monona Grove loaded
the bases with three straight
singles in the top of the first
inning before a Panther error
allowed two runs to cross the
plate. Alexis Killerlain then
singled home a run and Jordan
Houghton doubled in another,
while Carly Patterson hit a sac
fly en route to a five-run first.
It was disheartening to
come out and get down early,
Derrick said. That wasnt the
same team that beat Edgewood last week. We didnt
come out ready to play like
we should have and to their
credit, MG hit the ball well.
The Silver Eagles got production out of the top of its
lineup all night as Bre Feiler
(2-for-4), Cassidy Gerothanas (3-for-4) and Natallie
Mikalsen (3-for-4) combined
to got 8-for-12, knocking in
one run a piece.
Monona Grove sophomore
Autumn Lesniak walked four,
but finished the game with
five strikeouts. Oregon avoided being no-hit with a Jenna
Gratz infield single with two
outs in the bottom of the fifth.
Fluckiger allowed five
earned runs on 13 hits and one
walk.
Oregon travels to
Baraboos Pierce Park for a
Badger Conference crossover
game Thursday. They then
face Marshall on Monday,
April 13 before returning to
conference action next Tuesday at home against Milton.
The first pitch is slated for 5

Panthers go cold in 10-run loss to West

Anthony Iozzo
After dropping a heartbreaker to Beloit Memorial the game before, the

Oregon High School baseball team struggled to put
the bat on the ball Thursday
against Madison West.
The Panthers fell 11-1 in
five innings with the only
run coming from an RBI
double by senior Mitch
Weber in the bottom of the
fourth, scoring senior Luke
Mueller.
That hit was Webers
second of the game, the
only hits Oregon was able
to get in the loss.
Head coach Jake Soule
said despite the tough opening to the season, the Panthers remain positive in a
season that is expected to
have some growing pains
with only two starters back
from 2014.
I knew we werent
going to come out of the
gates steaming, Soule said.
I didnt anticipate this, but
we are young. And we are
just going to improve. They
are a committed group of
kids, but they understand
that we didnt even start
conference yet.
They are excited to get
that going, so we are moving on at this point.
Oregon did load the bases
in the bottom of the second after a Weber single
and walks to Pat Sommers
and Ben Weiland. But

Senior Luke Mueller zips a fastball in the first inning Thursday in a non-conference game against
Madison West at Oregon High School. The Panthers fell 11-1 in five innings.
West pitcher Simon Rosenbloom-Larson struck out

the side.
Rosenbloom-Larson
struck out five Panthers
in three shutout innings to
pick up the win. He walked
two and allowed one hit.
Hank Freyberg pitched
the final two innings and
struck out three Panthers.
He allowed a run on one hit,
a hit batsman and a walk.
West scored seven runs
in the top of the third, all
coming with two outs and
all unearned.
After Mueller walked
Rosenbloom-Larsen, he
picked up two outs.
A good throw by center fielder Chris McGuine
kept a run from scoring, but
a throwing error on Sommers from third base to first
on what would have been
the third out started a West
rally.
Mueller gave up an RBI
single to Tommy Hill, an
RBI single to Declan Callisto, a 2-run double to
Rock Cates and an RBI
single to Rosenbloom-Larson before being pulled for
reliever Jake Odegard.

Rugby: Season opens at Oregon Middle School Wednesday, April 15

The boys have to recruit
themselves, and that is really
the big difference with being
Division 2 and Division 1,
Bergemann said. Once you
get that support from the
whole community, then you
really skyrocket with the bigger-sized guys. That is what
separates D1 and D2. D1
teams are getting this huge
support from the athletic programs.
If one thing can help garner community support, it is
the unique rugby tradition
that requires every home
team host a social following
a match. Socials take place
next to the field, and with
food and drink provided,
players, coaches, friends and
family can interact with each
other. Players are encouraged
to think and act on their own,
even talking with members of
the opposing team.
It is a different status quo
for a sport, and it is a bonding sport all the way around,
Bergemann said. It takes
injuries down because you
are not out to hurt anyone.
You are just out there to play
rugby. It builds their confidence. They are not being
spoon-fed by adults. They
have to step up and be their
own leaders, be their own
men.
Starting up
Bergemann started the rugby club in 2013 when his son,
Richie, showed interest.
He was a member of the
Fort Knox Rugby Club in
1984 and played for two
years, and then he transferred
to Bamberg, Germany where
he played for the Bamberg
Rugby Club for two years
including one year in the U.S.
Army in Europe league for a
season.
From 1988 to 2004, Bergemann was an active member of the Wisconsin Rugby
Club.
That experience allowed
Bergemann to gain support
from VFW Post 1072 and a
few local sponsors to help
purchase jerseys and cover
event costs.
After securing the sponsors, the next step was to get
coaches. That is when Jeff
Woods and Paul Zwicker
jumped on board.
Zwicker also has rugby
experience, playing for the
University of Wisconsin Madison and being a member
of the Wisconsin Rugby Club
could pull those big guys, we

would be competing at state
every year.
Rugby Union rules

Rugby Union was
invented in 1871 at Rugby
School a boarding
school in England.
There are several unique
rules to rugby union play,
starting with 15 players on
the field.
To gain yards, a player
has to run or kick the ball,
but the ball can be thrown
laterally or behind.
After a tackle, the
possessing team has a
ruck or a scrum. A ruck
is when the ball is rolled
from 1984-1991.
Woods was a former soccer
player who was transitioned
into being a rugby coach.
After everything was in
place, the club then became
an official part of Oregon
High School retaining only
community sport status in
Stoughton. OHS provides
gym and field space.
Talk of a new rugby pitch
with the high school and
Oregon High School athletic
director Mike Carr are in the
preliminary stages. Bergemann, however, said the new
field is still a long way from
becoming a reality.
As of now, the club consists of 26 Oregon players,
10 Stoughton players and one
Verona player. There are 26
juniors and seniors with 16
back from last season and
eight freshmen and sophomores. There are two players
to an attacker who tries

to gain yards. A defender
cannot touch the ball until
the offense has.
In a scrum, no one has
possession, and both
sides engage in a grapple
until the ball can cleanly
gain ground, giving
possession to the team
that can win the ball.
During a scrum, the ball
cannot not be driven more
than a meter, or roughly
three feet, allowing safety
for the players.

schoolers
The top two teams in each division make state.
This summer will mark the
first year that the club will
have a rugby camp for middle
schoolers and a flag rugby
program for seventh and
eighth graders.
The hope for the camp is
to not only teach rugby fundamentals at a younger age
but to also help grow interest
in the sport to garner more
balance with numbers from
freshmen to seniors.
The hardest part is getting
players, Bergemann said.
Retaining players is not difficult; our retention once they
get on the field is huge.
goals for the club is to get bigger, and by adding the middle
school programs and getting
more community support,
Bergemann said he hopes
more big players join the club.
Whether those players were
wrestlers or football players or
hockey players doesnt matter, but Bergemann said that
with a lot of those bigger players going out for track it had
been very difficult to get the
size the team needs to be successful.

The rugby camp will be in

an eight-week program, and

Stoughton to help bring in
players from both communities.
To sign up for the camp
and flag rugby, contact
Bergemann at rich@trachteusa.com or go to ohsrugby.
com.
The over arching goal of the

club is to promote leadership,
social skills and confidence,
and that happens with not
only the matches, but at the
post-game socials.
On the field, the players
are taught to make decisions,
with very little coaching possible from the sidelines. That
means that more leaders have
to emerge if the team is going
to have success.
Last season, OregonStoughton upset Green Bay at
state and finished state runnerup.
By doing that, the recognition of Oregon-Stoughton,
statewide, took a jump up,
Bergemann said. Mostly, it
was because of the ways the
guys played and their attitudes on the field. It wasnt
the winning record. We had a
fun group of guys that played
honestly and know the ethos
of rugby.
It was that experience that
has Bergemann believing that
the team can once again make
state and improve on their season record as well.
The season starts April 15
as Oregon-Stoughton hosts
PeppNation from Milwaukee.
Games are at 5 p.m. on the
Oregon Middle School field.
Oregon-Stoughton is in one
of two divisions and is one of
five teams in its division. The
top two teams in each division
make state at the end of the
seven-game season.

Holstein Restaurant owner Scott Zeitler will move the business from
its location in the Sunrise Shopping Plaza in Brooklyn to the historic building that formerly housed DeBrouxs Diner in downtown
Oregon. Building owner Bonnie Thiel said she expects the move to
happen in mid-May.
Holstein: Moving into village

two-and-a-half years ago in
the Sunrise Plaza on Brooklyns north side.
On Monday, Jerry Thiel
said Zeitler had contacted him
about moving into the vacant
space.
Scott contacted us because
he knew that Greg (DeBroux)
wanted out and was selling
pieces of his equipment,
Thiel said.
Bonnie and I have been
eating down at Scotts place
for the past couple years and
found his food to be very
consistent, he added. Every
time I go in the kitchen unannounced, the place is immaculate.
Zeitler didnt return phone
calls before the Observers
Tuesday deadline.
Thiel said Zeitlers got the
integrity and experience to
make the restaurant work in
Oregon.
Hes not afraid of work
and not afraid to do things
right, Thiel said. Its not
the fastest food but it is very
good.
The Thiels hope to have the
space ready for the new restaurant by mid-May but said
there is a lot of work to do
before the move.
They were planning to
evict the former tenant, Greg
DeBroux, but DeBroux
closed his business when he
learned the Thiels had started
an eviction process. He was
behind in rent payments.
The Thiels said their decision to begin eviction proceedings was due more to
public safety concerns than
financial reasons.
In January, Public Health
Madison and Dane County
cited DeBrouxs Diner for
16 violations of the public
health code, including an

infestation of cockroaches.
Records show the business
was inspected on Jan. 15,
2015, and cited for 16 violations. The Observer previously reported that the diner
had been cited for eight violations. The restaurant was
inspected again on Jan. 21
and nine violations had been
corrected, while four of the
original violations had not
been corrected.
On Friday, the Observer
visited the building with the
Thiels after workers and
removed most of the remaining structures following an
auction held Sunday, March
29. The couple pointed out
where grease from the kitchen
area had saturated the floor
and walls and run down pipes
into the basement. The walls,
pipes and floors were covered
in a thick coat of grease.
That all has to be
replaced, Jerry Thiel said
Monday. Theres black
mold everywhere and a lot
of critters running around.
The cockroaches were everywhere.
So were getting that all
under control and rebuilding
the floors, which should be
done by the end of the week.
Thiel said he had talked to
a couple of grease remediation experts, and its going to
cost a lot of money to get it
back to what its supposed to
be.
He said restoring the space
is probably going to require
sticking about $60,000 in it.
The building was constructed in 1890 and also
houses an apartment and a
business, Academy of Sound,
on the second floor.
Phone calls to DeBroux on
Monday were not returned
before Tuesdays deadline.

Bernard R. Bernie or jobs, including delivering

cement and coal for Castle
Buzz Brickner
& Doyle, before settling
Bernard R. Brickner
In his younger years
Bernard R. Bernie or
Buzz Brickner, age 89,
passed away on April 1,
2015, at home in Oregon
with his beloved wife at his
side.
Bernard was born in Scott
Township, Crawford County, on Dec. 23, 1925, to Ora
Lando and Clara (Peck)
Brickner. His family struggled during the Depression, and he
learned early
the meaning
of hard work
and the value of a dollar.
When he could be spared
from the farm, Buzz attended country schools in Crawford County, Belleville and
Stoughton.
Bernie proudly joined
the U.S. Navy in February
1944, and was honorably
discharged as a machinists
mate second class in June
1946.
On Feb. 22, 1947, Buzz
married Emily Theresa
Briggs of Oregon at Peoples Methodist Church.
They celebrated their 68th
anniversary in February.
Bernards formal education was limited to the
eighth grade, but he could
master whatever he tackled.He could fix anything,
build anything and solve
any problem. He was the
strongest, most fair and
honest man anyone knew,
a priceless friend or neighbor, and a treasure to his
family.
Bernie worked many
into a career with the state

Division of Corrections,
where he held positions at
the Oregon School for Girls
and Oakhill Correctional
Facility. He was an active
member of labor unions
throughout his working life.
Bernard is survived by
his devoted wife and their
five children, Gordon
(Kaye) of Sun Prairie, Timothy (Valery) of Oregon,
Roger (Roberta DeVries)
of Randolph, Rachel (Peter
Hardin) of Brooklyn, and
Ruth (Joel McNair) of
Brooklyn. Also surviving are his grandchildren,
James Brickner, Amy (Kevin) Ziegler, Dylan Brickner,
Angus and Molly McNair,
and Louis and EmmaLeah
Hardin; a great-grandchild
expected in July; brothers,
Harry Charles and Robert
William; sister, Virginia
Fenske; many nieces and
nephews; and cousin, Clifford OKane.
Bernard was preceded in
death by his parents;sisters,
Mabel Sainsbury and Shirley Verzani; brothers, Gerald and Bert Clyde; beloved
grandfather, Fred Peck; and
numerous in-laws, nieces,
nephews and cousins.
A funeral service will
be held at Peoples United
Methodist Church, 103 N.
Alpine Pkwy, Oregon, at
11 a.m., on Friday, April
10, with the Rev. Jason
Mahnke presiding. Burial
with military honors will be
at Prairie Mound Cemetery
in Oregon. Visitation will
be held at Gunderson Oregon Funeral Home, 1150
Park St., Oregon, from 4
p.m. until 7 p.m., with a
pass and review at 6 p.m.,
on Thursday, April 9, and
at the church from 10 a.m.
until the time of the service
on Friday. A luncheon will
follow the service.
The family would like
to extend special thanks
to Dr. Orest Kostelyna for
the many years of exceptional care he provided to
Bernard, which not only
extended the length of
Bernies life, but greatly
enhanced the quality of that
long and amazing journey.

Church in Oregon.

of reviewing bullying codes

I would say it was the
tipping point, Maitzen
said. It made us stop
and look very carefully
at what we did and try to
align, not only policy, but
state statutes and also our
co-curricular athletic code
and individualized school
handbooks; trying to make
sure all of this stuff is easy
access for parents and anybody, so its not confusing
to find the information.
While the process of
changing the language in

the various documents is
still ongoing and will be
even after board approval
Maitzen said the board
has trimmed it down and
made it clearer to define
bullying and harassment,
including cyberbullying
through social media, and
what the penalties are.
Theres clarification,
she said. Its a stronger
policy. This makes it very
clear the district is taking
the whole concept very
seriously.
