Kids, parents Play and Learn at NKE

Since spring 2013,
youngsters in the Oregon
School District have been
growing through the districts Play and Learn
program every Tuesday
morning at Netherwood
Knoll Elementary School.
The program is a jointly
sponsored by United Way
of Dane County and 4C.
District community education and recreation associate director Cynthia Di
Camelli said each week
two staff members lead parents through a program that
includes active play, story
time, craft and a snack. Parents learn how to use play
to help young children learn
skills that help them understand mathematics, develop
language skills and more.

Barb Roberts, who has

been bringing her 4-yearold daughter, Lizzie, to the
program for two years, said
that the kids (and adults)
have fun with the messy
crafts. She added that the
program helps younger and
older kids get more comfortable interacting with
each other and sharing toys.
Di Camelli said due to the
programs success, the district is in some very, very
preliminary exploration
of offering additional programming for children up
to pre-K ages at the school.

Oregon School District administrators want

to raise the base salary of
starting teachers, and it
looks like the school board
will go along with the plan.
Set to vote on the 201516 Oregon School District
budget in less than two
weeks, Oregon School
Board members talked priorities Monday night, and
teachers were at the top of

the list.
As a result of higherthan-projected student
enrollment and lowerthan-expected fuel costs,
the district has around
$200,000 available for
the school year to meet
additional student needs,
wrote district superintendent Brian Busler in a
memo to board members.
Busler and the districts
administrative team wrote
up a recommendation on
how to spend those funds,
starting with increasing
starting teacher salaries
to $40,000 to remain

In what Village President Steve Staton called

a nice gesture, the Village Board Monday unanimously agreed to pay
the cost of a Dumpster to
remove the Lang Family
House of Terror.
Brandon Lang asked the
village to pick up the $460
cost after village officials

told him last month he

could no longer run the
Halloween-themed haunted house at the family
home on Waterman Street
because it violated a village zoning ordinance.
Officials ordered Lang
to remove the structure
from the driveway and
backyard by Oct. 15.
Staton noted that Lang

The Oregon Community Resource Network evolved in recent months out of discussions between two long-time food pantry volunteers and a village trustee.

One of those volunteers, Linda Fuller,

explained that when the food pantry moved

number has grown to an average of about

150 families, and the space is no longer
large enough to meet demand.
When it was 60 families a month, it was
difficult but doable, said Fuller, a member of the food pantrys coordinating committee. Were to the point now right now
where we can only be open once a month.
Fuller said it became clear to the committee about three years ago the pantry
needs more space. Initially, they thought if

they let the community know they needed

a new location, someone would step forward with some space for the pantry.
They talked with some of the larger
churches in the area, but because of our
size now and the complexity of whats
going on, its not going to fit in somebodys closet, Fuller said.

Water tower photos on display

SAMANTHA CHRISTIAN
Unified Newspaper Group

The historic 1899 pump

house and water tower are
staples of downtown Oregon, but two local photographers have reimagined them
in a series of photographs.
An art exhibit featuring
the photos by Paul Buehl
and Victoria Bitz will be on
display at the Oregon Welcome Center from 1-3 p.m.
every Sunday in October.
During an opening
reception Oct. 1, both photographers described their
six works of art and connection with the medium:

Lynne Johnson and Marty Berman care for the flowers in front of Kwik Trip downtown.

Beautiful buds

Victoria Bitz
Bitz, who moved to Oregon eight years ago, used
to photograph portraits,
nature and landscapes with
her film and digital Konica
Minolta cameras while living in California. She has
been enamored with the
different views and architecture of Wisconsin, and
her favorite season is fall.
She works nearby at
Walgreens and often drives
by the water tower and
pump house. In her artists
statement she said, Im
always looking to capture
our Wisconsin village in
unique and different ways.
She decided to use a small
Nikon point-and-shoot
camera to produce the colorful images in her series.
A paintbrush feature on
the camera renders images
almost like a painting. Bitz
said she enjoys not knowing what the photo will
look like until after she
shoots it. She often makes
cards featuring her prints.
Her series of photographs includes a triptych
of downtown, a snow-covered bench and the pump
house in winter when the
windows were covered in
yellow paintings by local
artist Gwen Maitzen.

Paul Buehl
Buehl, who has lived
in Oregon for 15 years,
describes himself as an
avid photographer who
uses his artistic eye for
seeing the possibilities as

they present themselves to
his camera.
His background includes
developing film as a child in
a darkroom his father made
in their basement, shooting photos as a recreational
hobby and working professionally in commercial studios and photo labs for over
50 years. But even though
he has since retired and suffered a stroke 20 years ago,
Buehl continues to shoot.
Some of his side projects include Leaves on
the Street and Drive-by
Shooting. His wife, Judy,
has accompanied him on
many of these photo excursions; especially since she

is the one driving while

he shoots landscapes and
other subjects from the
passengers-side window.
Over the years, Buehl has
changed camera equipment
from Nikon and Leica to a
point-and-shoot Panasonic
so it is not as heavy to carry
around. Although he said
black-and-white photos
used to be his forte, he now
uses Adobe Photoshop after
taking color photos to add
artistic touches and remove
distracting objects.
Much like the photos of
the pump house and water
tower Bitz took, those
displayed by Buehl also
appear more like paintings
than actual photographs.
In his artists statement, he
said he looks for composition in nature, patterns of
color, light and shadow, or
specific emotions brought
on by the subject matter as
he creates a visual record
of art in his surroundings.
His series of photographs focuses mainly
on different angles of
the water tower but also
includes a front shot of the
pump house and a close-up
of one of its windows.

Are you girls the Oregon deadheaders?

Donna Disch smirked as she recalls this
question directed at her and a few other
volunteers who maintain the villages potted flowers and flower beds in downtown
Oregon.
For the past seven years, Disch has been
caring for the perennial and annual flowers
from May until things get cold and die.
And shes not the only one. Often alongside her digging in the soil and getting the
latest dirt are friends Lynne Johnson,
Eileen Durkin and Marty Berman.
The ladies can be spotted wearing
brightly colored gloves, watering pots and
plucking dead flower heads along Main
Street on Wednesday evenings when its
not raining.
Disch can sometimes convince her husband, Gary Disch, to help out, but as he
affectionately said: Shes the flower nut.
Johnson said she started helping six years
ago because she loves flowers, but Berman, who joined two years ago, laughed
and admitted shes just there for the social
hour. And thats OK.
At 6 p.m. on a chilly night in late September, the ladies showed up to tackle
the large flower beds in front of Kwik
Trip across from Hitching Park. Johnson
explained that she was removing the tops
of some of the butterfly weed plant because
they were infested with bugs. Some of the
plants were donated by Kathi Esser, former
owner of Seasonal Splendors, which has
recently closed its doors.
Not in any rush while the sun was setting, the ladies enjoyed their time working together. Silence was often broken by
laughter and conversation.
We have a lot of fun talking and getting caught up on stuff, Disch said earlier
in September. Its nice and relaxing.
The ladies are often greeted and thanked
by passersby.
People are so nice, Disch said, adding
that people have offered to buy them a cup
of coffee before. It feels good when you

drive through town.

Compliments aside, the group is just
glad that the community appreciates the
flowers.
Those interested in volunteering should
show up by Hitching Park next to Pizza Pit
at 6 p.m. Wednesdays when it isnt raining. Working (and chatting) generally lasts
until 7:30 p.m. or until it gets dark.

Village of Oregon

Janesville Street work got rid of goo

BILL LIVICK
Unified Newspaper Group

A horrible stretch of Janesville Street thats like a series

of speed bumps during the
coldest weeks of winter has
been repaired and should no
longer be a problem.
Village public works
director Jeff Rau filled the
Village Board in on the project last week as it approved
payment to the contractor
who worked on Janesville
Street and also West Netherwood Street improvements
this summer and early fall.
R.T. Fox Contractor completed the two projects this
summer.
On Janesville Street, the
contractor removed existing
concrete pavement, reconstructed a new 12-inch water
main, removed saturated
soil beneath the pavement
described as goo and
replaced it with granular

became evident there was

a problem, Rau explained.
Typically when you pull
up pavement, you will see a
nice granular base below it.
In this case, Rau told the
board, the contractor discovered a sort of goo that
had to be excavated and
replaced with granular backfill. The company submitted
a $28,600 change order for
extra work required beyond
the original contract in dealing with the problem, which
the board authorized paying last week in addition to
the originally bid price of
$348,485.
Rau said the village will
have to make a second payment for a punch list of
items that were completed
in September, including a
retainage of about $9,400
and a second change order
to cover the cost of extra
backfill needed for Janesville Street.
During last weeks meeting, Trustee Jeff Boudreau
commented that discovering
the poor quality of base soils
below Janesville Street illustrates why village officials

started in 2006 by family

want to hold the countys

work on streets to the villages construction standards.
The county is planning to
transfer jurisdiction of portions of Hwys. MM and CC
to the village by 2020.
Rau agreed with Boudreaus observation.
As a community, weve
determined certain standards
Im not saying theyre
more or less stringent than
the countys but we have
our standards and we want
to make sure that whatever
is built is meeting or exceeding that standard, he said.
The work on Janesville
Street was a joint project
with Dane County because
a portion of the project is a
county highway.
Dane County has yet to
bill the village for its share
of the paving removal and
pavement costs for Janesville Street, Rau noted
in a memo to the board.
Likewise, the village will
be billing Dane County for
their share of some of the
aggregate costs and curbing
costs.

Budget: Administrators want starting teacher base pay hike

competitive with area
schools.
According to the district,
the base salary for beginning teachers in the district
is $37,649, and around a
quarter of all district teachers make less than $40,000.
This recommendation
would positively impact a
significant number of our
staff, Busler wrote.
School board president
Dan Krause said district
administrators have been
recommending an increase
in starting teachers base
salary for a while, but in
the past, the Oregon Education Association OEA
wanted to otherwise distribute they money that
could be used for raising
the salaries to the minimum
level.
While there wasnt a
great deal of discussion
on the matter which was
not an action item Monday
night Krause said he gets
the feeling that raising the
bottom salary for teachers

is generally being supported.

I think that maybe
this year is the time to go
ahead, he said. Its something that people look at
when theyre looking at the
school district. We dont
want to be passed over
by the best teachers just
because of a number.

Other items
A second recommendation from administrators
is to increase funding for
mental health initiatives by
$50,000, as determined by
the districts Mental Health
Task Force. Busler said the
task force will this year
explore ideas like increasing student service staff
time at Oregon Middle
School and Rome Corners
Intermediate School, adding school social work services and/or partnering with
Dane County on a program
to bring two full-time social
workers to the district to
work with students on mental health needs.
A third recommendation

was to increase paraprofessional wages to remain
competitive with area
schools, which would cost
around $55,000 to adopt,
according to the district.
Administrators also
hoped to reduced class sizes, particularly in grades
K-3, according to the budget memo. The memo, provided to board members,
notes that the districts
guideline is 22 students per
section, and 31 classrooms
in the districts three elementary schools are above
that level, though business
manager Andy Weiland
said 20 of those classrooms

are just one student over the

guideline.

Contract talks
Krause told the Observer
Tuesday that the school
board and OEA will probably hold a 2015-16 school
year contract bargaining
meeting in the next few
weeks. In recent months
and years, once-frosty relations between the OEA
and district officials both
administrators and board
members has noticeably
thawed.
I anticipate its going to
be a pretty easy bargaining session, he said, noting that there is no real
timeline to come up with
a deal.

villages reasoning and

easy to work with.
I was glad that the board
approved this, Staton said
Tuesday. I think theres
more goodwill to be gained
than if we didnt do it.
The haunted house
opened in 2006 and, by last
year, was drawing nearly
2,000 visitors. The Langs
had donated admission
proceeds to the Recovery
Foundation in Madison, a
nonprofit that supports people recovering from substance abuse.
Village officials were
aware of the haunted house
but didnt consider the fact
that it violated the zoning
code until someone had
complained about potential
safety issues. Officials convened a meeting, sent the
building inspector to check
it out, and then ordered its
removal last month.
The key thing was there

was a zoning issue, Staton

explained. We could not
set that aside. We have to
follow the law and couldnt
just turn our head and let it
go.
He added that Brandon
Lang clearly understood
that was the case, and he
was very good to work
with.
At Mondays meeting,
Trustee Jeff Boudreau
asked if the village were
setting a precedent by
picking up the cost for the
Dumpster.
Will others approach the
village seeking financial
assistance for a building or
something else that doesnt
conform to an ordinance, he
wondered.
Village administrator
Mike Gracz conceded that
could happen.
Staton responded that
in this case, and in others,
precedents are set, but in
my mind, that doesnt lock
us into anything.

Letter to the editor

Taking issue with coverage

This letter is addressed not
only to the Oregon Observer,
but to those who profess to have
firsthand knowledge of business
details regarding the unfortunate
sensationalized situation with The
Academy of Sound.
Our attempts to resolve the
drum issue over the last six
months have been unsuccessful as
it relates to the entire building and
all tenants. The only issue of discussion is infiltrating drum noise.
It has grown into much more as a
result of media intervention and
the weaving in of unrelated stories.
We can take the responsibility
for trying to resolve the situation
and we do. Thats what a landlord
is supposed to do for their tenants
and all of their tenants.
A very unfortunate decision was
made by The Academy of Sound
to share legal correspondence
with the newspaper. An even
more unfortunate decision was
made by the Observer to accept
it as news. This is a contractual
business matter driven by a lease,
in this case, drafted by The Academy of Sound and challenged by
the Academy of Sound.
It was relayed by us to the journalist that this was not an appropriate time and the more interesting story would be the hopeful
positive resolution at a future
time. The result of this questionable journalism was even more
devastating as a social media
forum was hyped up with lies, bad
manners, inappropriate and profane comments that were designed
in an organized effort to do harm
from a social media site that professes to eliminate negativity.
To these participants we are
ashamed and are embarrassed for
them. They are generated from

adults who know better.

Having firsthand knowledge
of facts is essential before accusations, assumptions are made
and harm done to individuals and
businesses. The local newspaper
is not the manual to follow as fact.
Having communication from
the Observer staff that they need
to know details of negotiation or
a story will be run amounts to
extortion. A list of questions to
discuss from the Observer staff
was presented to us that was totally irrelevant and invasive. Having
to know the details of our personal relationships, anniversaries and
children is over the line.
There are many individuals in
Oregon who hold a great passion
for their community and choice of
contribution. Ours is no less.
The Oregon Observer incorrectly states that we own an entire
block of South Main St. This is
inaccurate and does not credit the
other downtown property owners
and businesses that have put their
hearts and souls into the downtown for years.
Bonnie and Jerry Thiel
Village of Oregon
Editors note: In the editing
of the Oct. 1 story, Sound
off, the decision was made to
summarize the Thiels ownership
of downtown buildings as an
entire block of South Main.
In analyzing property records,
the block in question refers
to the contiguous nature of
from 101, to 123 S. Main st.,
of which Thiel Properties LLC
owns the majority. The Thiels
ownership, however, is broken up
by buildings at 123, 111 and 105
South Main.

Correction
A Coming Up event published in last weeks Observer about the Oregon Rotary Clubs recycling
event included incorrect information received through the Oregon Area Chamber of Commerces
e-newsletter.
The recycling event was not a fundraiser for Rotary, and the club received no funds because it was a
community service project.
The Observer regrets the error.

Tithing and the Secret of Living Abundantly

Abundance and synergy are built into the very fabric
of our world. Put a small seed into the earth and with
the addition of a bit of rain and sunshine it returns
a hundredfold. The energy stored within every atom
manifests a similar superabundance. There is much to
be said for giving and living abundantly. When we do
so we almost always reap more than we sow. We may
not understand the secret connections and mechanisms
underlying abundancewho but the botanist and the
Creator really understands how the tiny acorn becomes
the mighty oak?but we can trust that it is there.
Perhaps nowhere do we see this more clearly than in
those who give of themselves unselfishly. These saintly
people who give it all away are from all appearances
the happiest people in our midst, while the misers who
cant bear to give anything away often seem small, petty, and unhappy by comparison. So give and live abundantly, and most of all, do not skimp in your giving back
to God. It will return to you many times over, though the
riches you reap may be spiritual rather than material.
Christopher Simon, Metro News Service
Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there
may be food in my house. Test me in this, says the
Lord Almighty, and see if I will not throw open the
floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing
that there will not be room enough to store it.
Malachi 3:10 NIV

170 (82-88) at the University of Wisconsin- Madisons University Ridge
Golf Course.
That puts her in the
company of other Oregon
High School girls who
have made state Abby
Busler (fourth in 2009),
McKenzie Parks (19th
in 2008, tied for 20th
in 2009, sixth in 2011)
and her sister Morgan
McCorkle (tied for 29th in
2011).
And McCorkle gets to
come back as a senior next
season to try and perhaps
lead the Panthers back as
a team.
McCorkle could not be
reached for comment following the meet.

Round one
McCorkle started off
very well Monday, ending with an 82 which was
good enough to tie her for
eighth.
She had one triple
bogey and three double
bogeys, but she also collected three birdies and
seven pars on a day when
the wind was gusting up to
40-miles per hour.
Most of that came in
the first five holes when
she was at 2-under par,
but she went through a
rough stretch on holes six
through eight.
On the back nine,
McCorkle picked up a
birdie on the 11th hole,
but she stayed consis tent with either a par or a
bogey until the 18th.

Panthers knock off Monroe at conference

ANTHONY IOZZO

Assistant sports editor

The Oregon High School

volleyball teams only wins
in the Badger South Conference came against Milton earlier in the season and
Monroe on Thursday.
But the win over the Red
Hawks, coupled with how
well the Panthers had started
matches against other opponents, gave some confidence
to score another big upset.
Unfortunately for Oregon, the girls never got that
chance falling to Monona
Grove 2-0 (18-25, 23-25)
and later being eliminated
by Fort Atkinson 2-1 (22-25,
25-17, 6-15) at the conference tournament last week.
We played well on
Thursday and brought the
fun back in the game for
the girls, head coach Katie
Heitz said. That carried
over to the conference tournament. We played a lot less
tight.
We gave up early points
against Monona Grove and
then were able to come back
on them in the second set,

unfortunately ending on a
couple of errors on our side
of the net.
The lone win at the conference tournament was against
the Cheesemakers after both
teams lost their opening
matches in the double-elimination tournament.
The Panthers held a twopoint lead in the first set
before rattling off four of
five points to go up 1-0.
Oregon once again had a
quick start in the second set,
jumping out to a 10-5 lead
and then building that to
21-13 before putting Monroe
away.
Alyssa Milski led with 13
kills, while Lexi Doering,
Samantha Girard, Amanda
Sagen and Milski all added
aces.
Sagen also collected 17
assists, and Emily Konop
finished with 10 digs.
Then, Oregon played Fort
Atkinson, which lost to Milton twice to take runner-up
at the tournament, in the next
elimination match.
After dropping the first
set, the Panthers rallied to
force a final set. However,

the girls fell behind 11-4 and

never recovered.
Milski had 21 kills against
the Blackhawks, while
Emmie Wiedemann had two
aces. Sagen collected 41
assists to help the offense,
and Konop finished with 15
digs.
Girard and Wiedemann
each had four blocks.
Oregon hosts non-conference Baraboo at 7 p.m.
Thursday on Parents Night
to close the regular season.
The seeding meeting is
coming up this weekend
with regionals beginning on
Thursday, Oct. 22.

Oregon 3, Monroe 0
The Panthers won their
second conference match
of the regular season Thursday with a 3-0 (26-24, 25-8,
25-21) sweep of the Cheesemakers.
Girard and Liz Andriacchi each had nine kills,
while Sagen finished with 26
assists.
Milski picked up four
aces, and Konop led with 11
digs. Amber Zahn had four
blocks.

After a tie against

Monona Grove earlier this
season, the Oregon High
School boys soccer team
knew it needed to wake
up if it was going to win
another Badger South Conference title.
The Panthers went on to
win the next five conference matches, including
Tuesdays 2-0 win against
Madison Edgewood at Reddan Soccer Park, and they
have now claimed their
seventh straight conference
title outright.
I am definitely happy. It
feels good to have another
conference title sealed up,
head coach Kevin May
said. The MG game, that
tie, really woke us up. We
cant just assume going
into any game, and we need
to make sure we play well
to get wins. We definitely
bounced back and have
played well in the course of
the conference play.
Erik Moller connected on
a goal in the 60th minute
to give the Panthers a twogoal lead. But before that,
senior David Heim and
senior AJ Breitbach both
had opportunities.
Heim hit the crossbar,
and Breitbach blasted two
shots on goal that were
saved.
Edgewood had a couple
of shots later, but senior
Matt Reisdorf made both
saves, finishing with four
on the night.
We played well, May
said. Offensively when we
click and play together and
play quickly, we do some
good things and got some
good oportunities and were
able to finish them.
Breitbach scored the other Oregon goal in the first
half.
There was a bit of a scare
when Drew Christoffersons father, Pete, collapsed
late in the match and had to
be taken to the hospital.
The game wasnt stopped
right away, but it came to a
halt at 85 minutes when the
ambulance came.

and several audience members.
A few minutes afterward
when play continued and
Drew nearly picked up an
assist after a quick pass to
Breitbach on a breakaway.
Oregons seeding meeting was Wednesday, which
didnt meet the Observers
Tuesday deadline.
The Panthers travel to
Sun Prairie at 6:30 p.m.
Thursday to close out the
regular season.
Sun Prairie will be a
really good test for us to put
in check again and let us
know what level we have
to play at to make it back to
state, May said. As long
we play well and play at a
high level like we know we
can, good things will happen.
The trick is that we
cant let up. We cant take
any game for granted.
Regionals begin on Tuesday, Oct. 20.
There is a possibility that
Oregon will have a rematch
with Monona Grove in the

regional.
I think we will be pretty
fired up if it does happen,
May said.

Madison Memorial, falling
2-0.

poll.
Matt Reisdorf finished

goals en route to a 3-2 win.
Erik Moller had a goal
and an assist, while Matt

With so many online choices for pet supplies and medications, how do I know who to trust?

A. Many online companies sell medications and supplies at lower costs than veterinarians can
offer due to the retail-only nature of their businesses and the volume of products they purchase for
resale. What they dont offer pet owners is a trusting personal relationship, a wealth of medical
knowledge and a desire to truly help their patients. Veterinary clinics can offer their own online
pharmacies which combine the personal attention to detail clients and pets deserve with prices
comparable to the big box retailers. It is a great convenience for pet owners, particularly if their
animals need long term medications or prescription diets and it maintains thorough medical
records. Your veterinarian is a key part of your pets health care team and this is just another way
we are adapting to meet your needs in a changing world.

Senior captains Hannah

Rau and Willow Kugel each
had their hands in helping
the Oregon girls swimming
swim team to a near victory
Tuesday evening at home on
Senior Night.
Honored, along with their
five other senior teammates
before the start of the meet,
Rau and Kugel were joined
by Claire Candell and Carolyn
Christofferson on the victorious 200-meter freestyle relay
(1 minute, 59.84 seconds).
I woke up a little sad, but
as the day went on everyone
was getting really pumped
up, Kugel said. I started getting really excited knowing it
was our last time swimming at
home.
Kugel also added the teams
lone individual win, taking the
100 free in 1:06.79, though
Oregon fell 90-79.

Willow, Hannah and

Quincey (Newton) all do a
great job leading the team.
All the seniors do a fantastic job and everybody was
really pumped up for the meet
because it was senior night,
assistant coach Michael Keleny said. Everyone swam hard
and it was a very close meet.
The Panthers trailed by
just a point (70-69) late in the
meet before Monroe piled up
some points with a 1-2 finish
in 100 breaststroke and 400
free relay.
The girls get to push
the coaches in if they win,
Keleny said. They definitely
wanted us in the water.
Oregons JV team also fell
just shy of Monona Grove,
70-52.
Senior Logan Fahey (50
free), Ellen Martin (200 free),
Kathleen Reif (100 breaststroke) and the 200 medley
relay supplied wins for the
Panthers.

Oregon watched Milton score
16-unanswered points to take
the game in heart-breaking
fashion.
The Red Hawks answered
Oregons lone touchdown
with a 5-yard Billy Pitzer
touchdown run in the second
quarter to knot the score at
7-all until late in the fourth
quarter.
I give them Milton credit,
theyve played in these types
of big games, head coach
Dan Kissling said. We stuck
it to them on there field last
year and they battled back to
share the conference title.
Ricker completed 15-of-28
passes for 160 yards for Oregon, including a game-high 84
yards to Charlie Soule.
Milton (7-1 overall, 5-0

conference) claimed at least

a share of the conference title
with the victory. The Red
Hawks can claim the title
outright with a victory Friday
night at Monona Grove (4-1).
A Silver Eagles victory
would force Milton to share
the title.
Oregon (6-2, 4-2) dropped
out of the hunt with the loss.
Unfortunately, we dont
have another conference
game. If you look at it, we
shouldnt have been in this
position in the first place. If
we take care of business down
in Monroe, were still cochampions.
The Panthers finish out the
regular season 7 p.m. Friday
at DeForest (5-3, 4-2). A win
would almost certainly secure
an Oregon home playoff
game.

Debroux said. Its been

their goal since the end of
last season and with the
distance track racing experience, the summer base
work, and the two-a-days
throughout the season,
these girls are confident in
their preparation and will
race their hearts out on
Saturday.
The girls host the Badger South Conference meet
9:30 a.m. Saturday at Lake
Farm Park.
Monona Grove,
Stoughton, and the Oregon
girls will be battling for
the conference championship, Debroux said.

Krzystof then reached out to
other organizations around
the county and learned that
groups existed with the sole
purpose of supporting food
pantries.
For example, the Verona
Area Needs Network became
the Badger Prairie Needs
Network, Fuller said. Their
pantry outgrew itself, and
this organization formed to
help them raise funds and
organize for their food pantry.
At some point, Fuller and
Krzystof became aware of a
great program in Sun Prairie and learned that Village
Board Trustee Jeff Boudreau
was involved in the fundraising arm of the food pantry
there.
They met with him, and
the idea of a resource network grew out of those discussions.
We as a committee realized that we needed help
from the community as a
whole, Fuller said.

The resource network

began meeting in May,
and now meets monthly at
Oregon Community Bank
& Trust. OCRN has formed
a Board of Directors and
has applied for a nonprofit
501(c)(3) status.
Its board consists of about
six members now but is not
yet fully constituted, Boudreau said. He thinks a 12- to

15-member board would be

appropriate for a fundraising
board (versus a governing
board, which could operate
effectively with fewer members).
Among the networks
board members are Fuller,
Krzystof and Randy Glysch,
who was largely responsible
for creating the Oregon Welcome Center and is presently
working to restore the historic downtown water tower.
Boudreau believes the new
resource network will have
a long-term mission in the
Oregon area.
Our mission is to provide
for the basic needs of people
living in the Oregon community, because we recognize
that while the project that is
in front of us right now is the
food pantry, there are probably projects beyond this that
are going to need fundraising
and education.
He said socio-economic
changes in Dane County
have meant an increase in
low- and moderate-income
households a trend that
Boudreau thinks will only
continue into the future. So
he anticipates an ever-greater
need for the resource network to help area residents
with the basic needs of food
and housing.
Its time for us to start
to look forward to the next
10-15 years and the growth
that Oregons going to go
through and the shifting
demographics, he observed.
The number of low- to

moderate-income households
not only in Oregon but Dane
County in general is increasing, and the elderly would be
included in that as the Baby
Boomers continue to retire.
Boudreau said OCRN has
set a goal of raising $500,000
for buy land and build a new
food pantry. Its looking for
volunteers to serve on its
board of directors, and is also
hoping for help marketing
the organization and building
a website.
He said the resource network is following a 10-step
process for conducting a capital campaign that involves
educating and reaching out
the community the food
pantry serves families living
in the Oregon School District. The campaign will also
appeal to foundations that
exist to help provide basic
needs, and also corporations
that have a history of giving
back to communities.
We believe that were
working on behalf of the
community to focus resources into this project, Boudreau said. Im so excited
to think that the community
is going to be able to come
together, each bringing their
own talents to the table, and
out of that were going to
have this beautiful building.
Theres really no limit to
what the building could be
used for except for the vision
of the directors of the food
pantry. Its up to them how
far they want to go with it.
