T h e O r eg o n S c h o o l
Boards goal of a fall referendum on teacher compensation may have gotten
a bit more complicated
Monday, but some members are optimistic about
new options.
Board members and
administrators discussed
for more than an hour
Monday two new versions
of a plan recommended
last month by a district ad
hoc committee. And while
there was some consensus
that the new choices were
better than the original
plan, OSD officials have
yet to hear what teachers
think of them.
That could be a problem,
given time constraints.

Jonathan Hill organized the free fly casting event for

Stoughtons Parkinsons disease support group on July 6.
Century Trout Farm south of Oregon

closed its pond to the public in December after over 50 years in business, but
owners Mark and Jean Hanson agreed
to open for one day last week for a
good cause.
A local Parkinsons disease support
group which typically meets at the
Stoughton Area Senior Center wanted
to hold a fly casting clinic at the pond
July 6. But the goal wasnt to catch fish.
The idea is to be outside,

enjoying friends and
having fun.
Jonathan Hill, co-facilitator of the
Parkinsons disease support group
The outdoor activity was meant to
help those with Parkinsons disease
a progressive nervous system disorder
that affects movement improve balance, coordination and mobility while
enjoying the company of others.

Stoughton resident Jonathan Hill, a
fisherman for more than 40 years, said
the intricacies of tying on flies and the
motions of casting can be both a good
challenge and therapy for people
with Parkinsons. And having lived
with the disease since November 2014,
hes experienced the benefits of fishing
firsthand.
Hill joined the support group about
a year ago, and last month he became
its co-facilitator. It was his idea to

Little Folks day care closes after 35 years

SCOTT DE LARUELLE
It takes a special person to

be able to handle dozens of
toddlers in a day care setting.
To do it for 35 years, well,
you have to be someone like
MaryAnne Hinkes.
Hinkes retired last month
from operating the Little
Folks Growing Center on
537 N Main St., something
she called bittersweet,
though she knew it was the
right decision. The center is
now closed.
Ive worked with many
children and families
throughout the years, and
its just been very rewarding
and exciting to be able to go
to work and teach children
every day through play and
fun and indoors and outdoors
activity, she said. But it
was time, after 35 years, to
retire and spend time with
my husband and family and
grandchildren.
Hinkes started her career
student teaching in Oregon,
then later taught at a parochial school in Madison
before she took the leap in
1980 and started her own day
care business back in Oregon
after seeing there was a need.
The village had put out
a questionnaire asking people what they wanted, and
one of the things was a day
care center, so I looked into
starting one, Hinkes said. I
wanted a home away from
home atmosphere, I found
the house on Main Street,
and thats been my work and
career. Its been very, very

rewarding and exciting, and
wonderful families and children and teachers.
A small center licensed for
30 children, she worked with
kids from 2 years old up to
fourth-graders.
She said one of the best
parts of her job was having a
chance to teach the children
of some of her first classes
of toddlers. Some of them
have come back to Oregon
to work with her and start
careers of their own in child
care and education.
Im very proud of the preschool, childcare and after
school care families served
and wonderful teachers who
taught with me, Hinkes said.
Hinkes had been a part of
the Oregon School Districts
4-year-old kindergarten since
its inception,
4K program coordinator
Mary Weber told the Observer that district officials were
sad to hear of the centers
closing.
She has continued to
provide a nurturing, developmentally appropriate 4K
classroom and a wonderful,
loving child care center for
hundreds of our OSD students, Weber wrote in an
email. Children who have
been fortunate enough to be
part of her center have experienced her calm, loving attitude that encourages individual growth.

Little Folks became one of the Oregon

School Districts 4-year-old kindergarten
providers when the program started in the
2010-11 school year.
After owner MaryAnne Hinkes told
them in April shed be retiring, OSD officials found spots in the 4K program for all
students who attended or planned to attend
Little Folks.
The district currently has six day care
providers that are part of its 4K program
five in Oregon and one in Brooklyn.
Many of the students will still be
together as a group, just within a different
location, said OSD 4K coordinator Mary

Weber. The families were very understanding and flexible.
Hinkes said 4K was a great opportunity
for her and the daycare.
Over the years, weve had that connection with the school, and Ive always kept
that going, she said. When 4K came to
be, it was just perfect to then be on track,
and to enhance our preschool program, and
have it be with the 4K program.

Dane County
Police Department
gets another officer
County ordered
to pay towns
association legal fees
Board votes to add

new position
BILL LIVICK
The Village Board voted

Monday to add a full-time
officer to the Oregon Police
Department this year
Police chief Brian Uhl
had requested the addition because
he said his
department is
understaffed
and adding
the position
at the same
time as anoth- Uhl
er anticipated
opening helps
recruiting, he said.
The board approved the
request on a 5-2 vote, with
Jeanne Carpenter and Jerry
Bollig opposing it. Village
President Steve Staton joined

trustees Jeff Boudreau, Eric
Poole, Darlene Groenier and
Doug Brethauer in supporting the motion.
Carpenter and Bollig
agreed with adding the position but argued it should be
created as part of the 2017
budget.
Funding the position
costs about $82,000, village
administrator Mike Gracz
said, adding that it would
be a challenge without tapping into the villages fund
balance a practice he said is
unprecedented in his tenure
here.
But he also recognized the
importance of the request
and said he and his staff
would look to find the money in the current budget.
If we cant (find it), then
well wait until next year to
fill the position, he said.
Uhl said the departments
school resource officer is
leaving the department on

Aug. 11, and hell be looking to fill the position. He
plans to create a list of possible candidates for the two
jobs and noted that he would
probably have more success
recruiting new employees if
applicants knew there were
two job openings in the
police department.
Trustee Jeff Boudreau
spoke strongly in favor of
the police chiefs request and
moved to approve it.
Carpenter said adding a
position to a department midway through the year would
be unfair to other village
departments that could also
use more help.
Boudreau responded that
given the nature of the work,
the police department should
be a higher priority than other departments. He called the
job a life or death position.
He also noted that it takes
longer to hire and train a
police officer than other jobs

in the village, and that Chief
Uhl is trying to turn this
department around quickly.
This is an urgent issue,
Boudreau said.
Bollig said he would need
more information about the
villages financial situation
before he would vote to create a position thats not in the
budget.
Staton said he could see
merit in both sides of the discussion.
Public safety has to be
our No. 1 priority it has to
be, he said. But we should
do it in our budgeting process.
That said, he joined the
majority in approving the
request.
Uhl didnt return phone
calls before the Observers
publication deadline to comment.

Hotel deal near completion

Development
agreement could be
ready by next week
BILL LIVICK
The Village of Oregon

appears to be on the cusp of
an agreement with a hotel
developer to build the first
hotel here in modern history.
The Village Board met in
a closed session Monday to
discuss negotiations with
Eric Lund, owner of S&L
Hospitality, over details of
a tax-increment financing
plan.
In emails between Lund
and village administrator
Mike Gracz, Lund agreed to
most of the main elements
of a proposed developer
agreement.
But, Lund wrote, property
owner Barb Grover wants

the village to pay interest
on unpaid principal at 5
percent annually instead of
the villages proposed rate
of 4.5 percent.
On Tuesday, Gracz told
the Observer the board
agreed to Grovers request.
Lund and Grover previously agreed to whats
known as a pay-as-yougo TIF in the amount of
$561,000.
Under the plan, the village would sell to the developer a bond or note promising to repay the developer
over time for costs to build
the hotel up to a certain
amount. The payments
would be made over several years as many as 23,
according to statute and
be limited to an obligation
to repay only if and when
sufficient tax increment is
generated.
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
the school district) of the
newly developed property
and giving the village control over it.
Lund plans to build a
52-room Sleep Inn and
Suites hotel at 1053 Park
St. on the villages south
side, where an efficiency
motel now exists.
Gracz said village attorney Matt Dregne will begin
drafting the development
agreement unless Lund
raises other concerns and
said the agreement could
be ready for the boards
approval at its July 18
meeting.
We worked under the
assumption that if Eric and

Barb said the terms were
acceptable, wed begin
working on the agreement,
Gracz said of the boards
decision Monday. Well
try to get that done for the
July 18 meeting, but it may
not be until the first meeting
in August.
Last month, Lund said
hed like to submit building plans to the Planning
Commission in August and
begin construction on the
foundation in October.
They want to try to get
the foundation in before
winter, Gracz said.
He told trustees Tuesday
that the village is very
close to an agreement with
the developer.
The village would require
that the hotel be completed on the site by Dec. 31,
2017.

Dane County will

pay $10,000 in attorney
fees to the Dane Count y Tow n s A s s o c i a t i o n
following dismissal of a
recent lawsuit over zoning.
The county had sued
DCTA over its claim to
member towns that if they
withdraw from the countys zoning laws under a
recently approved state
law, some of the countys
tax levy will be shifted
to help them cover those
costs.
Both parties actually
sought dismissal from the
suit, filed in March, as
the association deemed
it non-justiciable and
said the county failed
to exhaust administrative
remedies and that the
Countys position is simply wrong, according to
the judges June 29 decision. The county sought
dismissal after its board
of supervisors failed to
adopt a resolution authorizing the lawsuit. Supervisors voted against the
resolution May 5 on a
vote of 18 to 16.
That left the town saying the county should
cover its legal fees, and
circuit court Judge John
Markson agreed.
While the issues here
are relatively straightforward, the Associations
counsel still had to find
the cases and write a
brief, Markson wrote.
The time spent and rate
charged are not unreasonable.
The judge also faulted
the county for not obtaining authorization from the
board before filing suit.
There is no reason that
couldnt have been sought
and obtained before the
suit was begun, he wrote.

Dane County Executive
Joe Parisi filed the lawsuit
after the state Legislature
approved a law earlier
this year that would allow
towns in Dane County to
opt out of county zoning
laws and come up with
their own regulations.
D C TA , w h i c h l o b bied strongly in favor of
the law, told its member
towns that some of the
countys tax levy will
shift over to them if they
choose to opt out. The
county has questioned
that assessment.
Dane County still
reserves the right to any
remedy, including legal,
to stop what we believe is
a poorly thought-out land
use policy that threatens
our quality of life, natural
resources, and agricultural economy, Parisi said
in a statement. The merit of the case remains: if
Dane County Towns want
to harm the rural makeup
of our county they, not
County taxpayers, should
pay the bill.
Before the bill passed,
town leaders took offense
t o t h e c o u n t y s q u e stioning of their desire to
maintain a rural feel.
The opt-out window for
towns opens in January.

Oregon needs multi-generational center

Recently I visited the Waunakee Village Center, which
promotes itself as a place for
seniors, youths and (those)
in-between. It is a 10-year-old
building that looks like it just
celebrated its grand opening.
The place is very well-maintained and displays colorful artwork from local residents, both
young and old. Everyone I met
was clearly proud of not just the
beautiful physical design, but
the vital services provided to
citizens.
The center contains rooms
for adult classes, meetings and
youth activities, a commercial
kitchen, senior center, fitness
room, computer lab, an arts
and crafts room and space to
rent out for reunions and other
events. It has ample windows to
let in lots of natural light, and
provides gorgeous views of the
trees and landscape outside. The
place has been an incredible
boost for Waunakees downtown
area.
The concept of a multi-generational center there evolved as
the result of forums and meetings with community groups to
decide exactly what the facility
should include. The building
grew out of residents discontent with an earlier proposal for
senior housing on that land.
I could not help but think how
wonderful such a facility would
be for Oregon. Our Village
Board has already held meetings
about a civic campus, which

would include a new senior
center, youth center, library and
village hall. However, a community center has not been part of
the discussion. I think it should
be. This kind of building could
provide much needed space
and services for all Oregon residents. What a perfect way to
bring people together.
Oregon has open land at the
old Methodist Church property
on Main Street with beautiful
terrain and lovely trees that
would be ideal for a park and
community center. Such a structure would be less than half the
size of the massive Sanctuary
assisted living facility proposed
for that site. Neighbors, including myself, oppose the project
because it would cause flooding
issues, traffic problems and the
demise of our neighborhood
green space.
An assisted living structure,
if needed, could be built on the
outskirts of town where it would
fit more naturally and not ruin
an existing, historic neighborhood. This would be a win-win
for all parties.
If you want to express your
views on this topic, please
attend the Planning Commission
meeting at 6:30p.m. Thursday,
July 14 at Village Hall.

Voice Sanctuary project concerns at Thursday Plan meeting

Stars and trees: Thats what
I currently see out of my backyard. Its quiet and peaceful
sitting out on our patio table. A
47-1/2 foot high building with
99 individual air conditioning
units will be what I hear and see
in my backyard if the assisted
living Sanctuary project is
allowed to be built.
I work in commercial construction, and have had many
meetings with communities and
neighborhoods to be sure were
working with them and designing/building spaces that work for

the customer were building for,
as well as the community were
building in. Having been through
this process now as a neighbor,
I dont feel that any of the concerns we raised have been listened to or addressed.
If you havent heard about
the project or our concerns,
please stop by any of the 22
homes that touch the project on
Main, Grove, Market or Johnson
streets.
We are asking now that the
greater community support us in
speaking out July 14 at the Plan
Commission meeting against
them revising this quiet area to
Planned Development, and thus
changing the very fabric of our
neighborhood and the gateway
to downtown.

OHS graduates art

show opens Tuesday
SCOTT DE LARUELLE
When it comes to giving

people a proper welcome
to Oregon, what better way
than to show off some of
the artwork of the villages
finest?
The newly restored Oregon Water Tower Welcome
Center is set to host its
first art show exhibition
Connections to the Past
featuring the photographic work of Oregon High
School graduates as well
as that of their former high
school instructor, Michael
Derrick. OHS is celebrating 20 years of photography in its art curriculum.
This is the first of what
the Oregon art department
and the Welcome Centers
curator, Randy Glysch,
hope will be a tradition
for many years to come,
Derrick wrote in an email
t o t h e O b s e r v e r. T h i s
years artist lineup includes
Stephanie (Frautschy) Nutt
(Class of 2000), who uses
light painting techniques
to create images that depict
fantasy in which a figure is
caught in a moment of isolated contemplation.
Next is Beth Skogen,
Class of 2003, a documentary photographer of
life who operates her own
photography studio in the
Madison area.
Every story has a beginning, middle, and an end,
she said Ive always been
drawn to the middle. I
mean, after all, there are
only so many ways to start
and so many ways to wrap
things up. But in the middle . . . thats where the
interesting stuff happens.
The OHS Class of 2009
is being represented by
Richard Richie Russell,
an extraordinary wildlife
photographer, Derrick
said.
Russell has a unique
ability to be in the right
place at the right time to
give the viewer a little
glimpse into the hidden
and rarely seen lives of his
subjects, he said.
The newest member of
the alumni list is Class of
2016 graduate Madeline
Knaack, whos heading to
UW-Whitewater this fall
to study photography and
business in hopes of opening her own studio someday. Her work focuses on

Rounding out the show
will be photos by Derrick, a longtime OHS art
instructor and nature photographer, said he likes to
showcase the everyday
moments that are often
overlooked in the great
outdoors.
As a teacher, I hope I
have been able to encourage and inspire the creative talent that has passed
through OHS, he said.
The artistic ability I have
seen the past 20 years has
been incredible, and it is
an honor to do a show with
these former students. Its
also important for people
to see that there are successful careers for those
who have followed their
artistic dreams.
The opening is free and
open to the public to view
the art with an artist meet
and greet. The show is set
to run through Aug. 21.

True Confessions
A confession, to be genuine and true, is usually something
which is shameful for us to admit because it reflects poorly
on our character, and something for which others may not
forgive us. The minor faults and foibles which are easy to
confess and easy to forgive are window-dressing on the
true confession. The true confession is the actual window
on our soul which says to others, as it were, take a look at
the real me. This is the horrible thing that I did, or failed to
do, or merely thought, and I am ashamed. Shame is not
something which we praise or advocate much in our modern
culture, but when we confess our deepest and darkest sins
we will probably be ashamed, and perhaps that is the mark
of a true confession. One should face the prospects of confession with fear and trembling, and not expect that one will
be forgiven immediately, if ever. A confession which lowers
you in the eyes of others is probably a more genuine one
than one which makes you look good. We should also be
wary of the confession which builds us up as it goes along,
or offers extenuating circumstances for what we did. A good
confession is honest, penitent, and while accompanied by a
certain amount of shame its also likely to be cathartic.
Christopher Simon, Metro News Service
When I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my
groaning all day long. For day and night your hand was heavy
on me; my strength was sapped as in the heat of summer.
Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my
iniquity.

Paying it forward at FANS 5K

It was a picture-perfect
Oregon morning last Saturday as several hundred
people gathered at Oregon
Middle School to celebrate
the life of Allyson Norland
and raise scholarship funds
in her name.
In the second year of
FANS (Friends of Allyson
Norland Scholarships) run/
walk and tug-of-war competition, 227 people participated in the events, which
helped raise around $5,000
in scholarships for the Oregon High School Class of
2017, said Norlands aunt
Tara Homme.
Allysons mother, Krysta Norland, was understandably emotional as she
thanked people for coming
out to support the cause
on an idyllic early summer
day.
The communitys been
wonderful, she said, holding back tears. The weathers perfect. And its not

the starting line for the 2-mile walk at the FANS fundraising
event on Saturday. A top scholar and athlete at OHS, Norland
was a standout track and cross country performer for the
Panthers, and many of her fellow runners from OHS both
graduates and current students participated in the 5K run.

have thought it would be.

As people lined up to
begin the events, the front
of the middle school was
filled with people young
and old, including family
members, friends, former
classmates, and community
members looking to help
the cause. OHS class of
2016 member Jonas Temte,
one of Allyson Norlands
classmates who sometimes
ran with her in track practice, said it was gratifying
to see how many people
came out to participate.
Its really nice to see this
big turnout for everyone
that supports Allyson and
runs in her name, he said.
OHS class of 2015 graduate Will Sanford said the
event is a good way to do
something positive in honor
of Norland, who was killed
in a car crash in February
2015.
(Her death) is something
that happened in the past
that we cant do anything
about unless we remember her and fundraise for
her and her scholarship,
he said. So there is something we can do. Thats the
important thing.

Q. We want to get a family dog. How do we find a perfect match for us?
Q. How do I get on this page?
A. Adopting a new puppy is a very exciting time! Once youve decided to bring a new puppy
into your home, its important to consider which breed will fit in with your family and lifestyle.
Consider exercise and training needs - do you work ten hour days, seven days a week? A
border collie probably wouldnt be happy in your house. Do you want a dog that sheds or
one that needs professional grooming? Do you have small children or other pets in the home?
Consulting a professional trainer can help narrow down the breeds of dogs that would fit best
with your family and can even help you decide which puppy within the litter would suit your
needs. Make sure to do your research so you can have an enjoyable pet for years to come!
A. Its simple, just call (608) 835-6677. We can fill you in on all

with the Oregon School District and in particular, Oregon Band Boosters, Inc., for helping it
get to where it is today.
(They) provide the logistical backbone for
all things Shadow (not to mention all things
Oregon Band) and without them, we would certainly not exist today, he said, noting the ability
to procure professional-level equipment, staff
and facilities.
Lane said the goal of the group, which comprises around 70 percent OHS students, is to
provide an unparalleled summer music experience to the students of Oregon and beyond.
The group has around 120 members this summer, including musicians from as far away as
Texas and Alabama, and Lane said he hopes to
field a 150-member band by 2020. Students can
participate through the summer following their
senior year in high school. The cost for membership in the group, which has a seven-week
performance schedule, is $1,390.
Lane said the group has been invited by DCI
to participate in 11 shows in four states this season.

team may not make the playoffs this season, but the only
thing the Orioles can do is win
out to give them a chance.
The push to build the young
teams confidence began with
a 6-1 win over Muscoda Sunday as Logan Laski pitched a
complete game and Ryan Galloway (2-for-5), Ryan Hoodjer (2-for-3), Abe Maurice
(2-for-4) and Sam Schretenthaler (triple) all came up big
for the offense.
Laski struck out 11 and
allowed just five hits and no
earned runs in the victory.
Oregon is now 3-9 with
four games to play, including
a make-up game against firstplace West Middleton. If the
Orioles won out, they would
be 7-9.
There are currently 10
teams with better records than
Oregon, and the Orioles are 2
1/2 games behind Blanchardville and without the tiebreaker for the eighth and
final spot for the playoffs.
Besides a loss eliminating
the Orioles, a win by Dodgeville and Blanchardville
this week would also end any
playoff hopes.

Recent OHS graduate Meghan Sharkus added another
award to her growing collection last month for her Expression-med.com business. She submitted a 90-second
video, and won a $5,000 grant from The Bizzy Project.
The Oregon community was very supportive and,
thanks to everyone, the video received over 10,000
views, and 1,500 shares, Sharkus wrote in an email to
the Observer. The money covers a portion of my initial
manufacturing order and will be super helpful.

heard about it from a tour
guide at a campus visit to
the University of St. Thomas who introduced her to
TheSkimm, a daily newsletter designed to fit into
millenials busy schedules.
Initially, she was intimidated, as it was the first time
she competed against adults.
I was very nervous,
Sharkus said. (But) my
biggest takeaway is that
adults arent scary and finding people with common
interests can lead to great
conversation, regardless of

The 2016 Oregon High

experience and showing
her skills after finishing
in the top 10 in the DECA
International competition
this spring and winning
TheSkimms Get Off the

starting her own company.
Sharkus developed an
interest in business after
joining Oregons DECA, a
co-curricular organization
devoted to the preparation of emerging leaders
and entrepreneurs, according to the DECA website.
S h e wo n m a ny awa r d s
during her time at OHS,
where DECA adviser John
Curkovic described Sharkus
as an incredible young
woman, noting she was
competing against other
individuals MBAs and
30-year-olds in the Off
the Couch competition.
It was through DECA
that she began to develop
her own company, ExpressionMed, which creates
products that go with medical devices like insulin
pumps, allowing children to
choose the design.
Using infusion sets is
a scary process for young
children, Sharkus said.
There are needles involved,
the products look very medical and lifeless (but) they are
something diabetics need to
use everyday.
Her inspiration for starting the company came from
wanting to improve the daily lives of children living
with chronic diseases.
They have hardships in
their lives that affect them
every day, that they dont
deserve and cant control,
she said, citing an experience with a friend who
had misshapen tan lines
because of her infusion set.

Sharkus did not expect to
win the competition and said
it was unbelievable she
did. Sharkus also appreciated the opportunity to work
directly with TheSkimm
founders Danielle Weisberg
and Carly Zakin.
It has been almost a
month since I won and I
still have the same excitement of getting to work
with Carly and Danielle,
she said.
As far as the future of
ExpressionMed, Sharkus
hopes to expand the company through her current work
with manufacturers to create her first order of adhesives and by running advocacy campaigns to show
community support for
young diabetics. She also
wants to try to form licensing deals with sports teams,
or kids shows, to further
the customization options
and possibly create a version for cancer patients.
Considering her broader
goals and entrepreneurial
future, Sharkus hopes to
be a serial entrepreneur
and get involved in multiple

July
100 years ago (1916)

Oregon held its fourth
annual chautauqua, offering residents a wide variety
of lectures, music and other
entertainment. To accommodate many of the activities

the corner of South Second
Street (Washington St.) and
South Main. Musical highlights of the event included
the Highland Lassies seven
lady musicians clad in Scottish costumes singing and
dancing, the Otterbein Male

of Oregon citizens were at
the depot Saturday afternoon
to cheer the soldier boys of
the first regiment as they
passed through on their way

Sanctuary: New proposal has 99 rooms, down from 106; entire building three stories
in again on the new plan for The
Sanctuary project at the July 14
Planning Commission meeting,
which begins at 6:30p.m. at Village Hall.
Though the public hearing
on the plan for the project was
closed in June, the commission
included a public input session
on the agenda for this month after
receiving dozens of letters opposing the development since the
June 3 meeting.
Developers initially reported
to the Village Board that the plan
was well received by neighborhood residents, but area residents
at the last two commission meetings asked the commission to not
approve the rezoning that would
be required.
The parcel at 249/267 N. Main
St. would require a rezone from
residential to planned development. A different three-story,
96-unit assisted living project was
approved for the property in 2008,
but the developer decided not to
move forward with it during the
weak economy, and the rezoning
that was approved at that time has
expired because no project went
on the property.
The zoning was part of a
planned development, which
has special rules specific to the
approval that is granted. The villages zoning ordinances state
that All portions of an approved
PD/GDP not fully developed
within five years of final Village
Board approval shall expire, and
no additional PD-based development shall be permitted.
A letter from Robin Roberts,
one of the property owners, states
neither he nor his partner understood nor were we notified that
the zoning for this property would
revert back after a period of time.
Since the last meeting, where
the commission delayed a vote
on the project to give the developer a chance to alter it, the
three- and four-story building has
been downsized to three stories
in its entirety. That comes with a

downsize in rooms, too, from the
originally proposed 106 to 99.
Letters from the public included in the commissions meeting
packet, released July 8, overwhelmingly asked the commission to vote against the idea.
Many are from people who spoke
at the June meeting, but some are
from others adding their voices to
the opposition.
Their questions echo those
expressed in person, including
whether the project fits in the
neighborhood, parking issues and
if a demand for the housing truly
exists.
Roberts, in his letter, wrote
that the project would replace an

empty church that is attractive

to trespassers, and would create
dozens of full-time jobs. He cited
a market analysis that showed the
demand for low-income senior
housing in the area is more than

150 units currently.
Marshall and I have worked,
in good faith, for 12 years and
invested hundreds of thousands of
dollars to deliver a project which
provides high density housing as
desired by the Village of Oregon,
Roberts wrote. We have, and will
continue to, work with the neighbors and modify plans to address
their concerns. However, a significantly smaller project does
not meet the Village of Oregons
objectives, or justify the cost of
the site.
Other changes from the developer since the June meeting
include an increase in parking
Teachers: Board has August deadline for fall referendum

The board will hold a special meeting July 18 to talk more about plan
options, but the clock is ticking to
get the referendum on the fall presidential election ballot as planned.
Per state law, the board would have
to approve a referendum by Aug. 22
to have it on the Nov. 8 ballot.
While details of the plans are still
being worked out, the biggest difference is the two new options introduced by several board members
who built off the committee recommendation have a larger up front
cost, but subsequent costs on a yearto-year basis would be reduced, said
district business manager Andy Weiland.
That helps us in the future, that
hopefully we wont have to keep
coming back to the community every
year, asking for additional funds,
which is something other districts
are doing, he told the Observer
Tuesday.
Board president Steve Zach said
while the new options are essentially the same structure as the committees recommendation, the board has
feedback work to do.
Were getting more information
and exploring options, he said. The
premise of the plan is recognizing
that there is an opportunity for a
career ladder; weve kept that intact,
weve just changed where the numbers fall in it.
District director of human resources Jina Jonen said shes nervous
Whats next?

about how teachers will react to the
board exploring new options just
weeks after a committee made up of
district administrators, teachers and
board members made its recommendation after several years of study.
(The new options are) in the spirit
of what we talked about as a committee, but we have not gone to the
staff about this, she said. The committees charge was to retain, develop and recruit staff.
Board member Dan Krause, who
was in the minority supporting the
committees recommendation, said
while hes open to the changes if
they are approved by teachers, he
wants the district to consider all
options on the original plan.
We worked very long and hard
with very many people inputting,
he said. Three years of (committee) work, and now were pushing it
aside.
Time crunch
Last month, district referendum consultant Joe Donovan, who
worked with OSD on the successful
$54.6 million capital projects referendums in 2014, suggested pushing
the teacher compensation referendum back to spring, citing a lack of

needed focus group feedback. Previously, hed advised the district to
hold a referendum during the presidential election for a chance at better turnout, but said getting feedback
from residents on the plan was even
more important.
Zach said the board needs to settle on an option, and then get out to
constituent groups and get feedback
before we have to make a decision
on the referendum by the August
deadline. Busler instead suggested taking all three options to focus
groups, noting that in order for them
to be effective, they have to know
what the plan is.
Its a chicken-and-egg thing,
he said. If we knew the board was
reaching a general consensus around
a particular plan, I feel we would
have some authority to get started on
that focus group process.
Busler said he believes we could
get it all done if the board still wants
to hold a referendum in November.
He said he doesnt want to wait until
August to start that process, though.
Were going to need more than
a couple of days in order to have a
real conversation with various focus
group constituencies, he said. If
teachers say (options) two and three
arent the right thing we leave that
and continue to work on the project.

spots from 42 to 47, a plan to

save certain trees, and agreeing to
potential changes to parking lot
access and the roof.
Developers approached the Village Board about $1 million in
financial assistance earlier this
year. Neighbors at the June meeting suggested using that money
instead to fund a community center on the property.
The commission is expected to
discuss the proposal and make a
recommendation to the Board after
hearing the public input Thursday.

2016-17 staffing levels set

SCOTT DE LARUELLE
Board members approved

keeping current sixth-grade
teaching staffing levels
and adding a second-grade
teacher to keep (class) sizes within the board guidelines, according to a recommendation from administrators.
Based on potential student enrollment over the
balance of summer, the second-grade class sizes will
likely be over 24 students
without a new teacher, read
information in board members packets.
In brief
Meal prices set
Lunch prices for K-4 students will increase 5 cents
to $2.60 for the 2016-17
school year, as required by
the USDA National School
Lunch Program, according to information in the
boards packet. Breakfast
($1.80), milk (40 cents)
and lunches for students
in grades 5-8 ($2.80), 9-12
($3) will remain the same
as last year.
District business manager Andy Weiland said
District officials plan to

meet later this month to
determine which school
will get the additional
class, though the tentative plan is for that to be at
Brooklyn Elementary. The
move is planned because
of the addition of nine second-graders to the Brooklyn area.
District superintendent
Brian Busler said the projected second-grade class
sizes with the additional
second-grade class would
be 20 at Brooklyn, 22.5 at
Netherwood and 22 at Prairie View.
Scott De Laruelle
its anticipated the food
service fund will end the
2015-16 school year with
a balance of $191,000,
which provides some
cushion in case of a poor
performing financial year
as well as some funds to
replace equipment when it
is needed.
Moving on
The board accepted the
resignation of Oregon

Oregon Observer
Fishing: Fly casting clinic connects those with Parkinsons disease, helps with mobility
organize the fly casting event.
Hes considering organizing
another fly fishing event with other area support groups in the fall.
The idea is to be outside,
enjoying friends and having fun,
Hill said while untangling a line
caught in a tree above him. Any
movement and activity you can do
is very therapeutic.
Senior center assistant director
Hollee Camacho, who previously
led Stoughtons support group,
said the outreach event is a way to
show there are other people out
here to support you and to give
them a break from their normal
routine.
Day at the pond

The Hansons, now in their
70s, have been gradually slowing
down to make life on their Oregon farm more manageable.
Aside from reducing the size
of their property from 17 acres to
just five, they also shut down their
backyard trout fishing side business. The spring-fed pond, which
ranges between two and 13 feet in
depth, used to hold thousands of
rainbow and brook trout for public fishing, but now there are less
than 100 swimming in its cold
waters.
If the Hansons want to go fishing, they travel elsewhere. The
pond, hidden from the traffic on
Hwy. 14, has become a tranquil
spot across from the horse pasture
for their grandkids to catch and
release fish, and for their swans
to swim. After their family spent
Fourth of July weekend at the
farm, they were happy to welcome the support group as guests

just two days later.

The support group typically
attracts 15 people to its monthly meetings, and a few of them
including Stoughton residents
Gary Jones and Jimmy Hahn
showed up to learn how to cast a
fly rod. They were paired up with
Hill and fellow Southern Wisconsin Chapter of Trout Unlimited
members John Strauss of Oregon,
Greg Vodak of Stoughton and
Andy Davidson of Mount Horeb.
Davidson, who has taught a
fly fishing class for 25 years and
is also involved in Badger Fly
Fishers and Wisconsin Smallmouth Alliance, was eager to help
at the pond last week. The event
was especially meaningful to him
since his wife, Marie Wilhelm,
has Parkinsons.
He said she takes a boxing class
to help improve her agility, and
Hahn, whom he was helping cast,
does the same. Hahn was diagnosed with Parkinsons almost
nine years ago and goes to Rock
Steady Boxing in Fitchburg. He
also just joined a rowing club at
Lake Mendota.
Getting out and doing stuff is
the biggest plus, Hahn said.

clinic for people with Parkinsons disease on July 6.
The social component of the
hobby even just talking with
other fisherman in the parking lot
before getting to the water is
what reeled Strauss in, too. He
and Vodak also teach veterans fly
fishing through Project Healing
Waters.
Strauss said the event, which
included a demonstration on setting up the poles and casting, was
supposed to be fun and whet
their appetite for fishing.
You dont get them all, he
said, referring to getting people
hooked on the activity. The same
could be said about getting fish to
stay on the line.
Thats why they call it fishing,
not catching, Hill joked.
