Packers legend Donald Driver enters Brooklyn Elementary School through a crowd of students May 12 during a presentation for the
school winning the Driven to Better Health Challenge. BKE was chosen out of more than 125 schools across the state for establishing
healthy practices and charting their progress.

Unified Newspaper Group

Donald Driver knows something

about perseverance.
The former NFL wide receiver rose
from a tough childhood and being the
213th player drafted in 1999 to win a
Super Bowl and end up as the Green
Bay Packers all-time leader in passes caught and yardage.
So when he saw how hard Brooklyn Elementary students and staff
worked to get to the top after falling
just short last year, he took notice.
Driver visited the school May 12

to congratulate students and staff on

winning the Driven to Better Health
Challenge, just a year after coming
oh-so-close as one of four finalists.
This year, BKE was chosen out of
more than 125 elementary and middle schools in Wisconsin that participated in the program, sponsored by
the Childrens Hospital of Wisconsin
to implement physical activity and
healthy nutrition activities in state
schools.
According to a news release from
the Childrens Hospital, BKE went
beyond the school walls to implement its program, reaching into
the local community with over 25

different sustainable nutrition and

physical activities, which the school
routinely documented on its Driven to Better Health Facebook page.
Surrounded by colorful posters and
students and staff mostly wearing
green and gold last week, Driver said
Brooklyn was chosen because they
kept fighting and didnt get disappointed about not being chosen from
among the four finalists last year.
You want to make sure the ones
that dont win get an opportunity, but

Teacher compensation meeting is Monday

Board aiming

referendum on plan
SCOTT DE LARUELLE
Unified Newspaper Group

For around three years,

a committee of Oregon
School District administrators, staff and board members has been working on
a new plan to attract and

retain top educators.

M o n d a y, t h e s c h o o l
board will hold a special
meeting to focus on the
topic, as a planned November referendum to pay for
that plan draws closer. Specifically, they will need to
find a way to sell the plan
to a public that has been
skeptical of the preliminary
plans brought forth so far.
A teacher compensation
referendum was originally intended to be included

with a pair of $54.6 million capital projects referendums that passed in

November 2014, but board
members postponed it.
Partly, they feared of having too many items up
for a vote, and partly they
wanted to spend more time
improving the plan.
In early 2015, board
members considered placing a $2.9 million-per-year

Village will begin

treating 100 ash trees
Of 200 on public
property, half will be
removed
BILL LIVICK
Unified Newspaper Group

The Village of Oregon

will begin treating around
100 ash trees this year in
hopes of saving them from
destruction.
The Village Board voted
Monday to adopt a strategy
drawn up by public works
director Jeff Rau to address
the problem of the tree-killing emerald ash borer beetle, which has reached the
village after several years in
the United States.
Rau and arborist Jeff
Olson met with the Village
Board during Mondays

public forum to talk about a

four-pronged approach to
dealing with 200 ash trees
Olsons company, Arbor
Systems, has identified on
public property in the village.
No one from the public
spoke at the forum.
The village hired Arbor
Systems earlier this year
after learning in December
that the ash borer had been
located in the village.
It has also been spotted
in the Village of Brooklyn. The ash borer was first
identified in Dane County
in late 2013.
Rau reported that in Oregon, 155 ash trees are in
good health and 45 have
been identified as hazard
trees that are dead or dying.

An adjustment to a proof
of credit requirement might
have been the last significant hurdle in negotiations
with a hotel developer.
Eric Lund has been negotiating with the Village of
Oregon for the past year
over the financial details
for a 52-room hotel he
would build on Park Street.
Monday, the Village Board
reduced the amount of
money his company would
be required to guarantee in
a letter of credit associated
with the project.
The village is planning
to borrow $640,000 to use
as a tax-increment financing loan, and the letter of
credit is a form of collateral. The reduction showed

a willingness to assume a
small amount of risk on the
villages behalf.
Gracz said the two sides
are very close to an
agreement and that there
isnt much left to negotiate.
Well present him with
the development agreement
and either he signs it or
not, he said. The agreements pretty simple right
now. The board wants to
close this deal.
On Monday, village attorney Matt Dregne sought
direction from the board on
how to structure a proposed
development agreement
specifically, the amount that
the letter of credit should
cover.
Dregne wondered whether the agreement should
include a payback guarantee that would cover some
of the villages administrative service costs on the
project, as well as money to

healthy is about quality of
life, which is something he
preaches to his own three
children, and its a message
elementary-age students
need to hear.
Its a life lesson he
said. You have to be willing to change the quality of
life to be successful in life,
and I think this is where it
starts, it starts with the kids.
Our kids are very active,
and they love to be out and
playing, and I think if we
continue to change how we
look at life, our kids will

SWITCHING

look at it the same way and

be successful.
Driver told students that
even though they won the
award this year, they have
to maintain what theyve
started. He said he always
tells his own children that
the most important thing in
life is health.
Even though you have
changed all your activities
and eating habits, you have
to continue that as long as
you live, he said. I mean,
look at me. I still look good,
and Ive been retired three
years. Guys, if you want to
look like me when you get
older, youve got to eat your
vegetables.
After the presentation,
students got a chance to
ask Driver a few questions,
including: whats his favorite exercise (running), how
he got so fast (running from
dogs), favorite memory as a

Packer (80,000 fans chanting his name), and the best

Packers quarterback (Bart
Starr). Later, he met with
students and staff on the
playground.
B K E p r i n c i p a l Ke r r i
Modjeski said the Driven
to Better Health program
has positively impacted
not only the school, but the
whole Brooklyn community.
The ripple effect of better health through physical
activity and better nutrition
can be seen in our halls
every day, she said. Having Donald Driver here to
congratulate the students
and staff on their accomplishments will drive us to
continue these efforts.

Hotel developer Eric Lund has rejected several proposals in negotiations with the village over the past year.
One was a look-back provision that would have
required the developer to return a percentage of the
tax-increment financing assistance if his hotel exceeds
an 18 percent rate of return. He also rejected a proposed
TIF arrangement known as pay-as-you-go, in which
much of the financial risk is put on the developer.
The village previously offered to provide $561,000 in
financial assistance in the form of a TIF loan in order
to help Lund build a 52-room hotel at 1053 Park St., the
site of an existing motel on the villages south side.
The village would have to borrow an estimated $640,000 to provide the TIF assistance because
it would need to make interest payments on its borrowing until the hotel begins generating tax revenue,
which Gracz said this week would not come until the
year following the hotels opening in 2018.
Lund, owner of S&L Hospitality in Verona, initially asked for $1 million in TIF a year ago when
he planned to build a 75-room Sleep Inn and Suites
Hotel. He has since downsized the project.
In exchange for abandoning the pay-go TIF and the
look-back provision, village officials requested that
Lund provide a letter of credit to pay the villages
annual debt service on the $640,000 of borrowing.
The village also proposed providing the TIF grant
30 days after the project is done and an occupancy
permit has been issued, Gracz wrote to Lund.
In his response, Lund said he could provide the letter of credit but he would need the TIF assistance at
the start of building the $1.2 million project.

Sometimes when educators go out of their way to

make a difference, few people notice. But last month,
a group of staff members
from Netherwood Knoll
Elementary School were
honored for their work
with a student with special
needs.
Community Partnerships
hosted its ninth annual
Circle of Hope fundraising event on April 1 at the
University of Wisconsin to
raise funds and awareness
for mental health, wellness and early childhood
services for area families
impacted by mental illness. Honored at the event
because of their advancement of mental health care
in the Dane County communities, according to a
Community Partnerships
news release, were NKE
paraprofessionals Amy
Janssens and Billie Farrar,
special education teacher
Nikki Jagdfeld, occupational therapist Laura Flood
and district director of special education Candace
Weidensee.
In an email to the Observer, Flood said the group
was chosen because of their
significant advocating for
a child with mental health
needs to receive outside services, including following
up with meetings, phone
conferences and emails on
how to create continuity
and coordinate care across
multiple agencies for the
student.
Flood said they want the
student to thrive and grow
cognitively, physically and
psychosocially.
We worked diligently
to maintain a positive environment for the child in
the school throughout his
challenges, and the individualization of services
he received was extensive,
she said.

Expanding the

pay for part of the villages

cost for public improvements to Park Street and
intersections in TIF District
4, which includes the intersection of Janesville Street
and Wolfe Street.
T h o s e i m p r ove m e n t s
would involve installing
new water mains and other
utilities, as well as resurfacing the pavement.
The village would use
new tax revenue generated by the hotel whats
known as the increment
to repay the TIF loan.
The board decided Monday to include neither the
cost of village administration for the financing
nor the cost of the public
improvements in the credit amount. That reduces
the amount to what the
village actually borrows
and needs for debt service
$640,000. With administrative fees and some of
the cost of public improvements, the developer would
have had to provide a credit
guarantee in the amount of
$820,000.
Earlier drafts of the
development agreement
wo u l d h ave a s ke d t h e
developer to cover a State
Trust Fund loan of about
$180,000, the estimated
amount of debt service for
the public improvements
loan, as well as $2,500 for
the administrative costs.
We were saying that
about 25 percent of the
increment from the hotel
project was going to go
toward the fixing of the
street and water main and
things like that in the area,
Gracz explained.
A letter of credit is a
bank-backed guarantee that
the village would be repaid
for its borrowing and debt
service if the hotel fails
to generate enough increment to cover the villages
expenses.
Under the proposed
development agreement,
the amount guaranteed in
the letter may be reduced

as new tax base is created

by the hotel.
Once the building is
completed, Dregne told
the Village Board, we just
need to cover the borrowing.
Gracz explained that the
increment generated by the
hotel wouldnt be enough
to pay for the cost of the
public improvements at
least $1 million. He added
that engineering and planning those improvements
would take about a year
to do and the actual work
would be performed after
the hotel is built.
We would try to have
the hotel built before we
start fixing Park Street, he
said.
Gracz also proposed
Monday that the village
give its borrowed money to
an escrow agent and handle
the TIF like a bank loan.
So once the foundation is built and approved
by a licensed architect, the
escrow agent would pay the
developer for that part of
the project, he explained.
TIF is a public financing
method that is used as a
subsidy for redevelopment,
infrastructure, and other
community-improvement
projects by capturing property tax revenue from all
underlying taxing jurisdictions (the village, county,
state, technical college
and Oregon School District) of the newly developed property.
On Tuesday, Gracz said
Lund wants to open the
hotel in warm weather, so
its probably going to push
the whole project out an
extra year.
Its not going to be
open by Dec. 31 this year,
he added.
So rather than have tax
increment coming to the
village in 2018, its probably going to be 2019,
Gracz said.

Letters to the editor

Sanctuary Project seems unnecessary

The purpose of this letter is to
clarify and elaborate on the concerns of the community members neighboring the site of the
proposed Sanctuary Project at
249 N. Main St. The most disconcerting aspect of the proposal is its size, scope and the
potential negative effects it may
have on the Oregon community.
As proposed, the building
would be three and four stories
in height and have a density
of 39 people per acre, both of
which require a zoning exemption. The size of the 106-unit
low-income assisted living facility, with over 40 parking spaces,
would not be in keeping with
the historic nature of the single-family homes that neighbor
this property.
The primary driveway to the
Sanctuary Project is located
on North Main Street, directly
across from Netherwood Knoll
Elementary Schools parking
lot, and the increased traffic
in the area should be cause for
concern for those who use that
lot, including teachers and parents of children in the After
School Club. The increased
number of deliveries and emergency vehicles will also affect
both traffic and noise levels in

the surrounding area. Additionally, the noise levels will also

be increased by the 106 window
air-conditioning units.
The proposal includes plans to
build a sizeable water-retention
pond in an attempt to control the
pre-existing runoff-related problems, which affect the Johnson
and Market Street residences.
However, with the substantial
increase in hard surfaces, it is
unclear if the pond is enough to
resolve the problem of flooding
yards and homes.
It is not an issue of having
an assisted living facility in the
area; it is an issue of having one
so disproportionately large in
the community. Currently our
assisted living facilities are not
at capacity, so concerns of this
being a successful venture have
been raised at previous meetings. Imagine a building this
immense standing empty.
The next hearing is at 6:30
p.m. Thursday, June 2 in the
Village Hall Board Room. The
Planning Commission will vote
immediately after the meeting,
so now is the time for your voice
to be heard.
Laura Gochberg,
Village of Oregon

Oregon needs better road fixes

I am so glad that more will be
done to fix our roads. They have
been hard on my car, hard on
me, and frankly an embarrassment to the village.
It seems little has been done
for years; plus, what has been
done has been a quick and cheap
fix that falls apart rapidly. The
village has grown from around

7,500 residents when I moved

here 17 years ago to 9,500 these
days. That means around 40 percent more traffic beating up our
roads. We need more and better
road fixes.

Downtown civic campus

represents an opportunity

he Village Board has

reviewed the growth projections for our community,
and village department heads have
submitted their estimates of how
much additional space they believe
they need for a civic campus.
A few weeks ago the villages
planning firm led a community-wide workshop where teams
of citizens arranged Lego pieces
on giant maps to envision various
possibilities for
this campus in
the heart of our
downtown.
Whats next is
to take a good,
hard look at
what this project
can do for Oregons bottom
Noeldner
line.
The Old
streets bring big
spending lead story in the May
12 Oregon Observer is a perfect
reminder of whats at stake. Where
will the village find $2 million for
street repairs? What will pay for
that several-hundred-yard-long,
$1.4 million extension of Perry
Parkway through a swamp?
Property taxes, mostly.
The math is simple. If property taxes per foot of street arent
enough to cover the costs of repair,
maintenance and policing, Oregon
has a problem. Communities all
over Wisconsin are in this bind
especially where things are spread
out a lot.
If you thought gas taxes and
registration fees cover the costs of
local streets, guess again. The Wisconsin Legislature pours the lions
share of motorists revenues into
state highways, which means the
crumbs they return to the village

cover less than 15 percent of street

expenses. That leaves property taxpayers holding the bag.
And thats after the county and
school district and MATC take their
slices of the pie.
So if the village were run like a
business, it would try to generate
as much revenue as possible from
projects like the Civic Campus
redevelopment. A considerable
amount of high-value downtown
land is in play, but the buildings
occupying it right now contribute
little to the property tax rolls.
The best way to discover the
potential for the Civic Campus
acreage is to bring in some private
developers and ask them what they
would build on the available land.
Gro-Mor has erected several urbanstyle buildings downtown and is
now pursuing a complex on Jefferson Street. Gorman and Company
has done fantastic urban projects in
other towns. There are many other
developers in the area.
This is a perfect time to pursue a
bold vision the market is hot right
now.
Finding the upper limit on
tax-revenue generation potential
means asking those developers
what they would construct if there
were no height limitations, no density restrictions, no off-street parking requirements or other red tape.
These scenarios, in turn, would
establish a tax-revenue baseline for
evaluating all other plans.
Dont want buildings that tall?
OK, here is the property tax hit.
Want a parking lot rather than a
building over there? Here is what
the village stands to lose in tax
revenue. This is bottom-line, lookto-the-future thinking.
Downtown Oregon has great
development potential but not

if we continue to treat our civic

campus area like a suburban strip
mall. Just look at what is going up
in downtown Madison and the
urbanizing portions of Fitchburg
a few miles north of us. Surely we
can lure some of that development
here along with hefty property
tax increases that require no new
streets, sewers or other public infrastructure.
Downtown Oregon could
become a magnet for the next generation of technology workers who
are looking for an urban lifestyle
(think Epic). Sooner or later, they
will start families, and you wont
find any neighborhood in Madison
that packs so many family-friendly
amenities into a five-block area.
Business owners have made
major investments in revitalizing
our the heart of our community,
and public infrastructure improvements a few years ago have left us
with a package that is as bright and
shiny as a new penny. Just imagine how wonderful it would be for
downtown business activity if there
were enough new customers living
in our downtown to make parking
capacity a minor issue.
The real question before us isnt
what those of us who are already
living here want. It is what the people we want living here 25, 50, and
100 years from now will want and
need.
They will want a real city not
a bedroom suburb of Madison, not
a municipality that cant afford to
maintain its public infrastructure or
services. Lets become that Oregon.

Serving on Oregon School Board was a privilege

I would like to thank residents of the Oregon School
District for having elected me to the school board for
the past three years. It was an honor and a privilege
to have served as your representative on the board. I
appreciate your interest in public education and all the
times you provided input to the school board through
phone calls, emails, conversations and attendance of
public meetings. True democracy comes from citizens
engaging in the democratic process and public officials
listening to and representing their constituents. I am
grateful for your engagement.
I would also like to thank each and every employee
of the Oregon School District for your hard work and
dedication to the district. You make this district strong
by providing exceptional education to our students.
Many of you put in extra hours and long days because
you care about our students. It is your commitment,

compassion, expertise, and skill that make this district

great. I want you to know that your service is very much
noticed and appreciated.
As I announced earlier, I decided to not seek re-election to the Oregon School Board so that I could devote
more time to my family. I have taken on the role of
caretaker for a number of relatives who have had serious medical conditions. Although I step back from my
life as an elected official at the moment, I may consider
public office again in the future. In the meantime, I will
focus my efforts on my family and providing volunteer
hours to the community.
Again, thank you for allowing me to have served on
the Oregon School Board.

218 boxes of prescriptions
drugs were collected in the
county May 2 as part of
a Wisconsin Department

The boxes were

collected by members of
the task force and delivered to a regional drop-off
site for proper and safe
disposal. The weight of
the boxes was estimated at
3,805 pounds.
According to a county press release, unused
prescription medications
in homes can create public health and safety concerns, because they can be
accidentally ingested, stolen, misused and abused,
according to the news
release.

According to the Centers for Disease Control

and Prevention, in 2015
more people died in the
U.S. from drug overdoses
than in any other year on
record. Overdose deaths
involving prescription opioids have quadrupled since
1999, and so have sales of
prescription drugs. The
most common prescription
drugs involved in overdose
deaths are Methadone,
Oxycodone and Hydrocodone.

Being Who You Are

Part of the difficulty of authenticity, of being who we truly
are, is that we are free to be whoever we want to be.There
are of course limits to human freedom, but within those
limits we are free to act honestly or dishonestly,to act with
integrity or not, depending on the circumstances. Perhaps
the reason why the sting of conscience can be so painful
is that when we did the thing that we now regret, we know
that we could have done otherwise. When we make a conscious decision to lie, or steal, or otherwise act contrary to
the dictates of conscience, we are bound to regret it later.
Its also difficult to be who we truly are because we are all
in the process of becoming who we shall be. The act of
becoming is perhaps the essential project at the core of
humanity. It is the life project that every human being must
work out, on their own,with fear and trembling, but also
with quiet reflection. Who are you, really, and who are you
becoming? Answering these questions requires being honest with oneself, and involves reflecting not only on issues
of character, but also on our relationships with others, and
our careers, and even our likes and dislikes. Be yourself,
but perhaps more importantly, become the best version of
yourself that is possible.
Christopher Simon, Metro News Service
The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People
look at the outward appearance, but
the Lord looks at the heart.

SCOTT GIRARD
Unified Newspaper Group

At the beginning of April,

Oregon Floral owner Sarah
Lopez and her staff pretty
much lived (at the store) for
the weekend.
They were moving into
the insurance agency space
that had previously been
the business neighbor, and
because Lopez is someone
who simply likes to have
things done, they stayed
closed on Saturday and
worked through Sunday to
have it decorated by that
following Monday.
It was worth it for Lopez,
who bought Oregon Floral,
which provides wedding
designs, flowers and small
gifts, two years ago after
having been its manager for
the previous four years.
The Wednesday after
( t h e m ove ) I s t o o d
up front and cried, she
recalled on a recent Monday in the store. Its a lot
of hard of work.
Hard work is a continuing theme for the lifelong
Oregon resident who started out simply doing flowers for weddings out of her
home. She recalled the time
in 2015 when Mothers
Day and the Oregon High
School prom fell on the
same weekend something
that did not happen again
this year.
We w e r e h e r e u n t i l
6a.m. on Saturday making all (of the corsages),
she said. Then I went to
my moms in Oregon, slept
until 8:30 and came back
(for Mothers Day).
Lopez has kept the family
atmosphere at the shop that
existed before she bought
it, with her sister working
there and her mother regularly coming in to help.
That was something she
told the Observer was a
goal of hers two years ago
when she purchased the
business.
Shes also come to appreciate some of the tougher

times for a florist, such as
funerals, after originally
only focusing on days of
celebration with weddings.
When asked her favorite
thing about being a florist,
she recalled what she did
for her own fathers funeral years ago with a Weber
Grill decked out in flowers.
After losing my dad and
my father-in-law, I always
feel like when doing a
funeral piece, I know thats
the last gift a family can
give their loved ones and I
can give their loved ones,
Lopez said. I really like to
be creative.
She still enjoys the weddings, though, and was
recently recognized on the
cover of a major wedding
planning magazine.
We really do the full circle of life, Lopez said.
In addition to flowers,
Lopez hopes to establish
Oregon Floral, officially
called Simply Glamorous
Designs at Oregon Floral, as a one-of-a-kind
gift shop that can provide
locally made items passersby could not find anywhere else. That includes
metal bookends and custom
bird-feeders, both made by
Oregon residents.
When I go out of town
to a small little town, I love
to check out the little gift
shops, because you find
those one-of-a-kind little
gem pieces, she said.
Lopez can relate to those
homemade gifts. Before she
even began her home business of wedding flowers,
she handled flowers for her
own wedding.

The Diane Sliter American Family Insurance agency

announced a new partnership in April.
Christopher Reese, who has worked with American
Family for 12 years and recently left a management
position to pursue running his own business, joined the
agency at 850 Janesville St.
Diane and Troy Spilde look forward to have Chris
join forces in providing the insurance knowledge and
great service to Oregon and surrounding communities,
the agency said in a news release.

Oregon Floral recently took over space from its former neighbor and has used it to set up more wedding rentals.

Wedding Planner
and Guide cover
Oregon Floral owner Sarah Lopez remembers seeing the Wedding Planner and Guide publication at her
mothers office growing up, and always asking to grab
a copy.
Ever since I was a little girl Id go to my moms
work and theyd have these every single year sitting
on the counter, she recalled.
But she never dreamed her own business would be
featured on the cover. This January, she received a
box full of the guides, which are available at her store,
with a picture of a wedding setting she designed on
the front.
I was on the phone with my rep from Wedding
Planner and Guide and she got to hear my emotions
when I opened the box, she said. She called me for
something different.
It was a good beginning to 2016 for Lopez, who
was named Business Person of the Year by the Oregon
Area Chamber of Commerce in 2015.
Scott Girard

I had nine bridesmaids

and thought, How am I
ever going to afford this?
she recalled with a smile.
I ended up taking a class
and doing my own wedding
flowers.
From there, she became
a friends florist and eventually grew that into a business out of her home.
Now, standing at the

Oregon native to compete in national wind energy competition

Oregon native Alex LeBrun (center) will participate in the 2016 U.S. Department of Energy Collegiate Wind Competition with fellow members of the University of Wisconsin-Madison WiscWind team.
The competition challenges undergraduate students to design and construct a functioning wind turbine and develop a business plan to
market their creation. LeBrun is pictured here with teammates Ryan Rodenkirch (left) and Joe Snodgrass (right) of Fitchburg and their
turbine prototype.

experiences everyones had

that become useful.
After work on the project began in September,
the team cycled through
numerous turbine designs
before settling on an unconventional one that they soon
discovered could be used in
a variety of ways.
As a vertical axis with
helical (spiral-shaped)
blades, the design stands
out from the more standard
(and familiar) horizontal-axis turbines and has
fewer moving parts, requiring less maintenance. The
modular, 3D-printed blades
can be easily removed and
replaced, and can respond
to wind coming from any
direction.
Choosing a vertical axis

was definitely giving us a

challenge right off the bat,
but it also shows our confidence in our team, LeBrun
said.
The team was motivated
to pursue a versatile design
because of the turbines
capacity to potentially perform well across applications as varied as powering
refrigerators for vaccines
in hospitals or lighting or
heating homes in a rural
village. But the prevailing
goal of the turbine and
the theme of this years
competition is to create a
wind-driven power system
that can provide electricity
in places off the grid.
After exploring several options and consulting
with potential customers,

He added that providing
wind energy resources and
other green energy options
in developing countries
like India is especially vital
for ensuring that their own
industrial revolutions
are more forgiving on the
environment than those of
Western countries.
When they (developing
countries) talk about how
difficult it is to sort of skip
over that step and develop quickly without going
through the dirty part, market-driven cost-effective
green energy is key to that,
LeBrun said.

WiscWind built a design

that could mount on telecommunications towers
in India, where conditions
create almost a perfect
storm for wind energy,
LeBrun said: a situation he
saw firsthand when he visited the country over spring
break.
Grid reliability is nonexistent in many areas,
and most towers are powered by expensive, emissions-heavy diesel engines,
yet India has a wind-energy
potential among the highest
in the world and already
ranks fifth globally in wind
power installed capacity,
according to the Indian
Wind Energy Association.
It was sort of bittersweet
to see how real the need
was for things like this,
LeBrun said of his trip. I

The design is a hit with
kids, too during Aprils
Engineering Expo on campus, dozens of young,
fledgling engineers lined
up to hop on a bicycle to
power the turbine and see
how many LED lights they
could turn on.
Despite months of hard
work on the turbine, the
team hopes theyll part
with it after the competition: The winning turbine
will be put on temporary
display in the Department
of Energys headquarters in
Washington, D.C.
Thats the goal, is to not
come back with this, LeBrun said with a laugh.
While LeBrun will have
to participate on a separate
senior design project next
year, he already plans to
rejoin WiscWind if the team
is involved in next years
competition. His final year
is sure to be a busy one: He
is a member of the universitys Clean Snowmobile
Team and also works in the
student machine shop and
the UW-Madison Engine
Research Center.
Despite the hours of
work and sleepless nights
that come with pursuing an
engineering degree, LeBrun is still reveling in the
little things if that little
thing is a wind turbine
from Wisconsin built to
provide power to people
living halfway across the
world.
I couldnt imagine a

As wind energy and other renewable power sources

expand their reach in the
United States and beyond, a
group of University of Wisconsin-Madison students is
joining forces to make an
impact of their own on the
rapidly-growing industry.
Oregon native Alex
LeBrun will participate
alongside 14 of his fellow
UW-Madison students in
the U.S. Department of
Energy Collegiate Wind
Competition, set for May
23-26 in New Orleans. The
inaugural team, dubbed
WiscWind, is one of only
12 teams representing universities across the nation
to garner a spot.
The annual event, which
began in 2014, provides an
opportunity for undergraduate students across various
disciplines to design and
construct a functional wind
turbine. Business students
on the team, meanwhile,
conduct market research
and develop a business plan
to market the product.
Because its a nearly
yearlong process from the
application and team selection stage to the actual
competition, the highly-intensive project also tests
students interests in pursuing wind energy as a career
path. A junior majoring in
mechanical engineering
and an Oregon High School
graduate, LeBrun, 21, told
the Observer his longtime
interest in design and fabrication motivated him to join
the team, where he serves
as co-lead.
LeBrun said hes particularly enjoyed learning
alongside his teammates
on the business end, and
credits them for bringing
outside perspective to the
design.
(The business plan) really guides our design a lot
more than most competitions or design projects,
he explained. We are continuously surprised at the

Oregon senior Chris Cutter (center) and Hudson Kugel raced to a 1-2 finish for the Panthers in the mile Tuesday evening at the Badger South Conference meet in Fort
Atkinson. Cutter won the race in 4 minutes, 32.45 seconds while Kugel crossed the line in 4:33. The Panthers won the meet with 166.5 points for the 16th championship
in history, but their first since 1989.

Duff wins four conference

events as Oregon ends 27
year drought
JEREMY JONES
Sports editor

By the end it was all Alex

Duff could do to stay upright at
Tuesdays Badger South Conference track and field meet in Fort
Atkinson.
Crossing the finish line of
the 300-meter hurdles with yet
another victory, the three-time
defending champion collapsed

on the track with his head in his

hands.
Im tired, but Im grateful for
this opportunity to compete in
all these events, Duff said. Our
coaches believed in me and I just
wanted to go out and give it my
all.
The senior was utterly spent
having given everything he had
on a night where he scored nearly a quarter of Oregons meet-best
166.5 points, winning four events
for a total of 40 points.
That helps, Oregon head
coach Ned Lease joked. Just
w a t c h i n g A l ex w a l k a r o u n d
school today before the meet, you
could tell he was zoned in.

The team title was the 16th

in program history, but the first
since 1989 as Oregon knocked
off defending conference champion Monona Grove by 34.5
points.
A lot of our guys were still
kind of reeling from last year,
Lease said. We had a really good
team coming in last year, but we
ended up dropping a 30-point athlete and losing by 20. That stuck
in these guys craw a little bit.
Duff defended his 400 dash
title in 49.68 and then went on to
break his own school record in the
110 hurdles with a time of 15.3.
His second time triple jumping,
Duff also broke the OHS record

and added a conference title with

a leap of 44-4.
Reaching the 44 mark. Im
speechless. I dont even know
what to say about that, Duff
said.
Fellow senior Chris Cutter lead
a 1-2 Oregon finish in the 800
run, a 1-2 finish in the mile and
then anchored the Panthers 1,600
relay to a conference champion
for his third title of the night.
Cutter posted a 1:56.07 to lead
junior Hudson Kugel (1:57.76) to
the 800 finish line and later posted a 4:32.45 to take the 1,600.
Kugel followed Cutter to the line

Scarlet Egwuonwu may have been terrified before every race Tuesday at the
Badger South Conference meet in Fort
Atkinson, but the freshman certainly
didnt look scared.
Instead, Egwuonwu proved herself as
the fastest girl in the conference, winning
both the 100- and 200-meter dash titles
to help the Panthers to a third-place finish three points behind Monroe with
139 points. Stoughton repeated as conference champions for the sixth straight
year with 154.5 points.
Egwuonwu claimed her first conference title in the 100-meter dash, posting
a time of 18.84 seconds. She and sophomore teammate Alexis Jackson gave Oregon a 1-2 finish in the 200, posting times

of 25.95 and 26.0, respectively.

I was really terrified before both races, but I love our team, our coaches and
with running Alexis, Egwuonwu said. I
wanted to help out the team and score as
many points as a I could.
Though she missed out on all-conference honors in the high jump, Egwuonwu
cleared a season-best 5 feet and scored
four more points with a fifth-place finish.
The Panthers looked to be within striking distance of the defending conference
champion Stoughton Vikings late in the
meet only to suffer a costly disqualification.
Trailing Stoughton by eight points late
in the meet, the Panthers 800 relay, was
DQed after passing the baton out of an
exchange zone.

Panthers edge rival Vikings with

walk-off bases on balls
ANTHONY IOZZO
Assistant sports editor

It could have been worse for Oregon High School baseball pitcher Jordan Helmkamp on Thursday
against Badger South Conference
rival Stoughton.
Helmkamp allowed a game-tying
2-run home run in the top of the seventh and then allowed two straight
bunt singles before getting out of the
jam.
The host Panthers rewarded Helmkamp with patience in the bottom of
the inning, loading the bases with
two outs after a hit batsman and two
walks.
Ben Prew then iced the game for
Helmkamp and Oregon with a walkoff bases on balls for the 5-4 win.
I was just trying to stay calm,
watch the ball on the way in and hit
it if I needed to, Prew said. Thank
God it was a ball so I didnt have to
deal with that. But it is a good feeling.
The seventh began with a walk to
Nick Woodstock, and he made it to
second base on a passed ball. But it
didnt matter where Woodstock was
on the bases because Zach Kirby
crushed the ball over the wall in left
field to tie the game.

Baseball: Panthers eliminated in Badger South Conference title race

It is so huge for him to
just kind of battle through
it. That is hard. We have all
been there as baseball players, and for him to battle
us out and give us a chance
with a tie game is great,
Oregon head coach Jake
Soule said. Ideally, you
want to win it right there,
but at the same time, if we
keep it a tie game and give
us a chance, it is about time
one of these goes our way.
Jake Kissling, who
relieved Nowicki after the
fourth inning, got two flyouts to start the bottom of
the seventh, but then he hit
Jake Odegard and walked
both Jared Jones and Josh
Gomoll to load the bases.
Brock Wanninger came
in to pitch to Prew and a
third straight walk led to
t h e ga m e - w i n n i n g r u n ,
scoring pinch runner Nik
Richardson.
I think we came out
defensively really strong.
Toward the end of the game
we started to slump a little
bit, but we came back and
got the win and that is all
that matters, Prew said.
Stoughton fell behind
3-0 until the top of the
fourth. Schipper tripled,
and Nowicki hit a sacrifice
fly to bring him in.
Varese then walked and
Michael Gerber later singled to put runners on
the corners and two outs.
Nick Waldorf then hit an
RBI single to center field
to bring home Varese and
make it 3-2.
The Panthers added a run
in the bottom of the fourth.
Back-to-back infield singles by Sam Mueller and
Dominic Maurice allowed
Steven Davis to drive in
Mueller with two outs on a
single to center.
Oregon started the scoring in the second after
Mueller doubled home

Gomoll, and the Panthers

added two in the third with
an RBI double by Jones to
score Odegard. Stoughton attempted to throw out
Odegard at the plate, and
while the umpire called
him safe, the ball slid past
the catcher to the backstop.
That allowed Jones, who
reached third on the throw,
to come all the way around
to score. Stoughton argued
the call, stating that Odegard blocked the plate, but
the umpires had a conference and ruled in favor of
Oregon.
We want to beat Stoughton when we play them. We
wanted to get them back
for the one they got against
us early, Soule said.
Helmkamp picked up
the win for Oregon. He
allowed two earned runs
on three hits in one inning,
walking one. Adam Heath
started and allowed two
earned runs on seven hits
in six innings, striking out
three and walking one.
I h av e b e e n f a c i n g
Stoughton my whole
life, and I really learned
what their hitters are like
through the years. I was
just trying to stay true to
what I was doing just
stick to my game plan. It
ended up working, Heath
said. It is huge. All we
want to do this year is win
conference, and it is always
great to beat Stoughton
one of our biggest rivals.
Kissling took the loss,
allowing an earned run
on three walks and a hit
by pitch in 2 2/3 innings.
Nowicki started and
allowed four earned runs
on four hits in four innings,
striking out six, walking
four and hitting a batter.
Wanninger walked the only
batter he faced.

teacher compensation plan on the
April ballot but again decided to
wait, ultimately picking the presidential election in November
2016 to roll out a new referendum.
A committee has been working
on a proposal, a draft survey of
which was discussed at a March
14 board meeting. The committee consists of board member
Charles Uphoff, Oregon Education Association members Colleen Christenson, Dave Ebert,

Jon Fishwild and Colleen Schell

and administrators Leslie Bergstrom, Jina Jonen and Andy Weiland.
At the time, most board members said more work was needed
to better explain why a referendum is needed, and how it would
ultimately improve students education and the community itself.
Its an important piece of
information and we want to make
sure we do it right, c district
human resources director Jonen
said at the meeting.
Jonen said the survey is intended to get a temperature check

on how residents feel about a

teacher compensation referendum and how much they would
be willing to pay to support it.
She said the committees goal is
to make a final recommendation
on the details of the referendum
to the board before summer and
the survey is a critical tool in
the process of creating a teacher
compensation referendum that
voters will pass.

the boards first scheduled meeting, and
the board may waive that requirement up
to the end of the 5th day of the session
or up to the end of the final day of the

Ash: Plan applies to public trees only

Continued from page 1

He said there are 49 healthy

trees of 10 inches in diameter or less that will likely be
removed.
Arbor Systems survey
includes only trees that are
on property owned by the
village. Rau recommended
that private property owners
in the village seek information from qualified arborists
in the care and treatment of
their ash trees.
Arbor Systems created a
map showing the location of
each tree on public land. The
hazard trees will all be taken down in the next year or
two, while healthy trees will
either be removed or treated
with an insecticide to protect
them from the ash borer.
Raus plan calls for treating larger healthy trees every
two years. He estimated
the cost at $23,000 to treat
all 155 healthy trees and
$19,000 to treat trees that
are 10-inches in diameter or
larger. The board voted for
the latter option, and the cost
is to be built into the villages
annual budget.
Rau asked the Village

Board to approve borrowing

$50,000 this year to begin
treating some trees and
removing others. Trees that
are removed will be replaced
with a diverse population.
Olson said the village
could treat trees through late
July. He said untreated trees
that become infested would
likely die within two years.
Olson said he initially felt
the village could wait until
next year to begin treating
healthy trees. But, he said, in
the past few weeks hes seen
a greater problem than anticipated and feels the village
should begin treating healthy
trees this year.
The largest concentration
of ash trees on public property was found at Jaycee ParkWest, where 38 were identified.
The men also talked about
the reuse of wood from felled
trees. They said ash is typically used as firewood. They
said ash can be used for lumber but is not as desirable
as other hardwoods, and it
would be unlikely the village
could make money off the
wood because of the glut of
ash trees on the market.

Local Girl Scout Troop

2290 celebrated the 104th
birthday of Girl Scouts on
March 7 at the State Bank
of Cross Plains community room. The troop invited
family members to join in
the celebration.
During the event, the
members of the troop honored past troop leaders,
shared information about
the history of Girl Scouts
and presented items for a
troop time capsule. After
the presentations, members
and their families enjoyed
cupcakes and listened to a
troop-curated playlist.
The time capsule will
be buried on the private
property of one of the Girl
Scouts near a garden where
the troop has planted
pumpkins over the years to
help earn gardening badges. The capsule will be dug
up 10 years later.
By coordinating this
event, Troop 2290 earned
t h e G i r l S c o u t Wa y
badge.
The Girl Scouts organization was founded on
March 12, 1912, by Juliette
Gordon Low to provide
an opportunity for girls to
learn independence and
focus on service to their
communities.

Troop 2290 member
