Legislative Opinion

Thanking the teachers in

our communities
I am pleased to recognize our
states many devoted educators
during National Teacher Appre-
ciation Week May 8-12. We
have all had teachers who have
inspired our growth, shaped our
futures or impacted our lives,
and it is essential we remember
and thank them.
I am also proud to be a
co-sponsor of the joint resolu-
tion that designated this week
as Teacher Appreciation Week
in Wisconsin. However, it is
important to remember that the
real work of showing we value
our teachers happens every day.
Surely, we should thank our
teachers during this week, but
we should also remember their
dedication and hard work year-
round.
I n t h e s t a t e l eg i s l a t u r e ,
strengthen public schools,
teachers and students. It is
important that we fully fund
our schools and support our
teachers with the resources
necessary to teach successful
students. Our states children
are our future and we must
invest in those who will help
them make it a bright one.
I offer my sincere thanks to
Wisconsins K-12 educators
and I encourage all in our state
to take the time to thank teach-
ers this week. We all owe them
a great deal of gratitude for
their tireless, dedicated work
for our children.

Complaint leads to sign ordinance discussion

No changes yet after
letter about signs
near cemetery
SCOTT GIRARD
Unified Newspaper Group
The signs wishing local
athletes luck as they head to
major tournaments on Hwy.
MM have been in violation
of the villages ordinances
for a long time.
But a recent complaint
through a letter submitted
to the Observer is the first
time village administrator
Mike Gracz can remember
hearing of any issues with
them.
Since the Village Board
passed a sign ordinance last
year that continued mak-
ing those signs a violation,
staff brought the discussion
to the Planning Commis-
sion on Thursday to discuss
whether there were any way
to make the signs compli-
ant.
Legally, the village can-
not make an exception
b e c a u s e , f o r ex a m p l e ,
trustees like those signs,
and it cant not enforce the
ordinance there, based on
a Supreme Court decision
from 2015 that required
municipalities to be con-
tent-neutral. Instead, the
sign ordinance must be
written based on the types
Whats next
Village staff will contin-
ue to monitor signs and
issues that come up with
the ordinance before
bringing back a larger
package of changes,
with no timeline estab-
lished for that.
of signs and where they can
and cannot be placed.
O u r n ew s i g n o r d i -
nance does not allow us to
single out nonprofits and
allow things like salmon
dinners and fish fries and
neighborhood pumpkin
sales and all those kind of
things, explained public
works director Jeff Rau. All
of which we agree are very
good and help make our vil-
lage a nice place to live.
The complaint that
brought the matter to the
villages attention was not
related to the sign ordi-
nance itself. Instead, the
writer stated it was disre-
spectful to have the signs
in front of the cemetery
and suggested the signs be
moved to the other side of
the road or elsewhere.
But even in that case,
they would still not con-
form to the sign ordinance,
which leaves officials in a
challenging position related
to enforcement. So far, Rau
said he has enforced the
ordinance village-wide as
time permits, and commis-
sioners felt he should con-
tinue that.
They tried to spitball
some creative ways to
comply with enforcement
requirements while creating
a de facto allowance for the
signs, but that is unlikely to
work.
The Village attorney has
emphasized that the enforce-
ment of the sign code cannot
be selective, Village plan-
ner Mike Slavney told the
commission.
Commissioner Patrick
Molzahn suggested Rau
continue his practice of put-
ting notes on non-compliant
signs asking homeowners
to take them down. He sug-
gested creating a timeline
of required compliance that
would outlast how long the
athletic signs are up, which
is typically just a few days.
For now, though, Village
staff told the commission
they have seen some other
small issues come up with
the ordinance and will wait
for more before asking the
commission and Village
Board to make changes.

Oregon High School graduate.
The schools mock trial pro-
gram reached state competition
for the fourth straight year, fin-
ishing 10th out of 24 teams at the
annual Wisconsin State Bar High
School Mock Trial Tournament
last month in Madison.
This years team, coached again
by teacher Brian Towns, was bro-
ken up into two squads, which
finished second and third at the
regional tournament in February.
The team that finished second
Jeremy Bonno, Emme Hannibal,
Michael Ramin, Kim Gehrmann,
Caitlin McReavy, Tristen Brzez-

went on to garner a top 10 fin-
ish at state competition March 11,
winning three of four trials.
Gehrmann, a senior, was Top
Attorney two years ago and this
year was honored in a group of
Best Attorneys.
Towns said the team met twice
a week, with input from attorney
coach Tim Edwards. They par-
ticipated in scrimmages this
year with four other schools in
preparation for the tournament
River Valley, DeForest, Madison
Memorial and Lakeland.
Two of the sessions were held
at the UW-Madison Law School
building. Scrimmages and tourna-
ments are judged by professional
attorneys and judges, who score
and offer feedback.
During the competition, each
team member performed at least
two roles, which could be a wit-
ness, lawyer or both.
This years case was a first
degree reckless-homicide case,
in which a teenager with cys-
tic fibrosis died at a party where
he had taken Oxycodone. The

donated $8,575 for his trip
in the past month. A friend
pitched in, too, organizing
a fundraiser at Christys

a mom who lost her son the

HELU WANG
Unified Newspaper Group

Stopping by curbs and steps,

waiting at the door and sitting under
a chair are three out of the 20 com-
mands guide dogs have to learn
before working with people who are
blind.
Barb Schultze, president of the
Madison-based OccuPaws Guide
Dog Association, said the process of
training a guide dog is very chal-
lenging, and it can be up to 18
months before theyre ready to help
blind people navigating the world
safely.
To ensure their guide dogs have
calm personalities, OccuPaws only
picks specific breeds like standard
poodles, Labradors and Golden
Retrievers from breeders with clear
health histories going back several
generations. The dogs must even give
up some canine habits to become
certified. For example, as long as
they have a harness on, they are not
allowed to play.

How to handle, care for hedgehogs

Interacting with reactive dogs
How to tell if a pup
is stressed
AMBER LEVENHAGEN
Unified Newspaper Group
Even though dogs have
basic flight or fight instincts
like humans, they commu-
nicate stress and discomfort
differently. There are even
more signs to watch for
with reactive dogs, like
barking or lunging espe-
cially if they are tethered on
a leash.
Reactive dogs have
behavioral issues with sen-
sory triggers in public,
explained Dan Antolec of
Oregon-based Happy Bud-
dha Dog Training. This typ-
ically means they respond
aggressively to cars, oth-
er animals, people or just
walking on a leash.
Because owners should
act as advocates for their
dogs wellbeing, Antolec
said its important for them
to learn how dogs commu-
nicate stress. Owners can
then learn how to alleviate
those stressors and help
dogs overcome their fears.
Its about teaching dogs
how to cope with things
theyre not doing well
with, he explained. Were
looking to reduce the fre-
quency, duration and inten-
sity of their response.
A support group for own-
ers of reactive dogs takes
place each month in Ore-
gon, and its Facebook page
has gained more than 170
followers since March. The
group addresses strategies
for comforting pets, ensur-
ing a high quality of life,
and prioritizing the safety
of the animal and everyone
else around it.
The first session on April
29 was led by Antolec, and
he explored the warning
signs of stress and how to
help comfort anxious pups.
He said there are many rea-
sons a dog can be scared,
but most of the time it can
be attributed to genetics or
a lack of socialization when
the dog was a puppy.

How to approach a new dog
1. Stop several feet away from the dog
2. Ask owner for permission to interact, and respect if
they say no
3. Crouch to the dogs level
4. Rest hand at side and let the animal come to you
5. Pet the dogs chest or the shoulder; avoid their face
6. Stop after brief interaction and gauge their response
