Long-awaited deal for teachers moves ahead, still needs approval
Oregon School District
Seth Jovaag
Unifed Newspaper Group
Eleven months after their
last contract expired, lead-
ers of the Oregon teachers
union last week reached a
tentative agreement with
the Oregon School Board
on a deal that includes wage
increases for the 2012-13
school year.
The new collective bar-
gai ni ng agreement st i l l
requires formal approval by
the board and ratification
from the Oregon Education
Association.
OEA president Jon Fish-
wild said union members
likely wont be able to meet
until August to go over the
details of the agreement due
to summer vacation. The
board is likely to review the
agreement at its next meet-
ing in July.
Th e p r e v i o u s d e a l
expired July 1, 2012. The
new agreement includes a
$1,350 wage increase for
full-time teachers with four
or more years of experi-
ence. It also boosts starting
pay for new teachers from
$33,700 to $36,000 and will
bump annual pay by $4,000
for employees that attained
a masters degree between
Oct. 11, 2011 and June 30,
according to a copy of the
agreement obtained Tues-
day by the Observer.
The increases would be
paid retroactively to last
July, pending approval by
both sides.
Negotiations stalled for
months over various dis-
agreements between both
sides. Union and district
leaders met twice in the past

Class of 2013
Graduates ready to write the next chapter
Seth Jovaag
Unifed Newspaper Group
Kaitlin Tushoski knows what
she wants to be when she grows
up.
A genetic counselor, said
Tushoski, who this fall will ful-
fill a major life goal when she
enrolls at the University of Wis-
consin-Madison.
Tushoski was one of roughly
240 seniors at Oregon High
School who received diplomas
Sunday at a windy-but-rain-free
commencement ceremony at
Panther Stadium.
With plans to major in genet-
ics, Tushoski said she first
learned what a genetic counsel-
or was last year when one vis-
ited OHS. She said she wants to
help families know their genetic
risks before having children.
Like many grads, the Bel-
leville resident is also cognizant
of the cost of a college degree.
Its on my mind all the
time, she said. Im definitely
going to be working all four
years; Im taking out loans, too.
UW is pretty expensive.
Other graduates are heading
to faraway places next year. The
farthest might be Anna Wan-
gen, who is taking a year off
to study abroad in Sweden at a
school for the arts before enroll-
ing in 2014 at Appleton-based
Lawrence University to study
music.
Wangen said she has studied
Swedish for six or seven years
at a language camp in Minne-
sota and felt she couldnt pass
up a once in a lifetime oppor-
tunity that starts with a long-
planned trip overseas Aug. 13.
I dont think Ill be nervous
until I leave, she said.
Heat her McAnul t y wont
travel as far shes enroll-
ing this fall at UW-Madison to
study neurobiology, along with
her best friend from OHS, she
said.
Before college starts, howev-
er, she and her family will head
to the Arctic Circle for a 30-day
wilderness canoe trip, one year
after she tackled a 45-day back-
tracking trip in Alaska last sum-
mer through a Boulder Junc-
tion-based camping group.
Im really excited and ready
to move beyond high school,
McAnulty said.
Other grads are still unde-
cided about their futures. Gra-
ham Otis is heading to UW-Eau
Claire, where he hopes to swim
competitively but hasnt com-
mitted to a major. He admitted
hes very nervous about life
after high school.
Its a big step, said Otis,
who will spend much of the
summer practicing, traveling
and competing with the OHS

Bullying
charge
plagues
board
Newcomer accuses veteran
of yelling
Seth Jovaag
Unifed Newspaper Group
One of the newest members of
the Oregon School Board last week
accused its longest-serving member of
bullying her at meetings.
Rae Vogeler, the top vote-getter
in the April 2 election, said in a June
6 post on her personal
blog that Steve Zach has
repeatedly attempted to
bully her into silence.
In particular, Vogeler
said Zach stymied her
efforts to speak at last
Wednesdays meeting
of the boards Human
As s et s Commi t t ee,
which Zach chairs. And
she said its not the first
time, asserting that Zach
a 14-year veteran of
the board has exhib-
ited similar bullying
behavior including
yelling at me at previ-
ous board meetings.
Vogeler is not a mem-
ber of the committee but said in the let-
ter that she wanted to engage the group
in a discussion about district policies
regarding the termination or discipline
of an employee.
The Observer did not attend the June
5 meeting, and it was not recorded.

Weat her has al ways
been a passion for Jeff
Nachreiner. So when the
Oregon resident got the
chance to go storm chas-
ing in northern Texas this
May, he couldnt say no.
As an insurance adjuster
for Property Loss Special-
ists, Nachreiner was asked
to attend an annual three-
day storm chasing event
in northern Texas held by
the company May 15-17.
The event, always sched-
uled during prime tornado
season, is a chance for
clients and employees to
experience and learn more
about weat her t hat can
occur.
The group had a 0.05
percent chance of seeing
a tornado at the annually
scheduled event, Nachrein-
er said, but this year, they
were lucky enough to see
three. The storm that ripped
through Granbury, Tex.
May 15 was the biggest the
annual storm chase has ever
seen.
Just days before the dev-
astating May 20 twister in
Moore, Okla., Nachreiner
and 24 other people headed
in nine SUVs to spot tor-
nados throughout northern
Texas. Shortly after head-
ing out, they received a call
from the head of the com-
pany telling them to stay
where they were. A torna-
do had turned left instead
of going straight, and the
group was now trapped on
a highway near Granbury,
southwest of Fort Worth,
between two tornados.
The head of the com-
pany used to be the head of
the National Weather Ser-
vice, so when I heard the
shakiness in his voice as he
made the decision for us to
stay, I started getting wor-
ried, Nachreiner said. I
didnt lose it on the outside,
but I lost it inside, he said.
A s 6 0 t o 8 0
miles-per-hour winds shook
their SUVs, they watched
helplessly as truck drivers
passed them without hav-
ing any way to stop them,
Nachreiner said.
According to Nachrein-
er, they couldnt really see
the tornados, so there was
no way for other drivers to
know what was ahead of
them. The deadliest torna-
dos are the ones you cant
see, he said.
At this point, Nachreiner
began texting his wife, who
was confused to be hearing
from him. I didnt want to
worry her, but I was getting
ready to say goodbye, he
said.
The group was finally
given the okay to move and
headed to a nearby gas sta-
tion. Nachreiner, who was
driving, said it was just
good to get out of the vehi-
cle because my hands were
so sore from gripping the
steering wheel.
The tornados Nachreiner
and his group witnessed
were only two of the 16 that
swept across Northern Tex-
as that Wednesday night.
The storm took six lives
and left hundreds of people
homeless.
Gr anbur y, wher e t he
group was stuck, received
mos t of t he damage,
though. The weather ser-
vice said the preliminary
st orm est i mat e for t he
Granbury tornado was an
EF-4, based on the Fujita
tornado damage scale. An
EF-5 is the most severe, but
an EF-4 tornado has wind
speeds of 166 to 200 mph.
Through his work, Nach-
reiner has traveled all over
the east coast and Midwest
to assess damage caused
by storms and has actually
been in seven hurricanes.
But this was easily the
craziest storm he has ever
experienced. I have never
seen rain like that, he said.
He hopes to be part of the
storm chase again next year
but is not sure if his wife,
Katey, will let him. As for
his three kids, they think
their dad is pretty cool.
His oldest son is a little
scared of his dads busi-
ness trips, as Nachreiner
called them, but his middle
son enjoys sharing with his
friends at school, who think
his dad is a little crazy, he
said.
The deadliest
tornados are the
ones you cant see.

Board creates area for small dogs in new dog park
Bill livick
Unifed Newspaper Group
At the request of a couple
of village residents, offi-
cials have decided to cre-
ate a separate area for small
dogs in the villages first
official dog park. The park
is expected to be developed
and open this year.
In March, the Village
Board approved the use of
$12,000 in developer fees
to plan the park, purchase
a fence and create the dog
park.
Then at its May 20 meet-
ing, the board unanimously
approved the use of an
additional $5,000 for fenc-
ing an area within the park
that will be designated for
small dogs.
The details and rules gov-
erning the park, as well as
the possibility of an annual
fee, have yet to be deter-
mined. No tax money will
be used for the project.
Residents Sheila Kirsch-
baum and Chelsey Trgo
sent an email to the Park
Board in April requesting
an area for small dogs.
Allowing very small
dogs to run with large dogs
can be a very dangerous
situation for the small dog,
the pair wrote.
They warned that large
dogs sometimes perceive
smaller dogs as prey, and
that the average pet owner
is not prepared to break
up dog fights and cant
comprehend how quickly a
large dog can kill or seri-
ously injure a small dog.
The 12.5-acre park will
be established on the east
side south of Jaycee Park,
where dog owners have
walked their pets for years.
The park will be bordered
on the north by the Ore-
gon branch of the Badfish
Creek, on the east by U.S.
Hwy. 14, on the south by
Park Street and on the west
where North Perry Parkway
will eventually be extended
to connect with South Perry
Parkway.
The Park Board has yet
to come up with rules and
guidelines for park users.
Former Park Board chair
Jon Bl anchard t ol d t he
Observer in December that
there may be a small permit
fee for using the park. He
also said the park would be
double-gated to allow vil-
lage mowers to enter the
site without allowing dogs
to escape.
He said if North Perry
Parkway is extended, the
vi l l age mi ght consi der
building a parking lot for
the dog park, but until then,
parking would probably be
limited to the north side of
Park Street.
That would prevent peo-
ple from crossing the street
with their dogs, he said.

Village Board takes
Senior Center compromise
Bill livick
Unifed Newspaper Group
The Village Board last
week agreed to a compro-
mise in how the Oregon
Senior Center will be fund-
ed by the four municipali-
ties that contribute to it.
The board approved rec-
ommending a 7 percent
limit to the annual increase
in the Oregon Area Senior
Center budget over the
previous years budget.
It will need the formal
approval of the three other
municipalities before it can
be written into an updated
Seni or Cent er fundi ng
agreement.
That figure is a compro-
mise devised by a work-
ing group after the boards
unanimous May 20 vote to
set the limit at 10 percent.
Representatives from the
Village of Brooklyn and
the towns of Rutland and
Oregon preferred to limit
the amount of increase to 5
percent.
The agreement is being
updated in part because the
Town of Dunn has with-
drawn from the agreement,
although its seniors con-
tinue to receive some ser-
vices in Oregon. The town
also continues to make a
financial contribution to
the center.
The Village Board voted
6-1 to accept the compro-
mise, with only trustee
Phil Harms dissenting.
He argued that because
the village provides the
building and other sup-
port services, it should
set the allowable percent-
age of increase higher in
case unexpected expenses
should surface.
In a draft agreement
among the participating
municipalities that has
yet to be approved, the
year-to-year budget cap
will be in effect unless
the governing bodies of
three of the four parties
to the agreement consent
(to increase it). If three
of the four parties to the
agreement do not consent,
and the Village of Oregon
approves a budget in which
the net Senior Center costs
exceed the prior years net
costs in excess of said 7
percent, then the net bud-
geted costs in excess of
said 7 percent shall be paid
by the Village and shall
not be allocated to the oth-
er parties.
Vi l l age admi ni s t r a-
tor Mike Gracz explained
that the most likely cause
of having to unexpectedly
increase the budget would
be a cent er empl oyee
enrolling in the villages
family health insurance
program.
If someone needs to
get on the villages health
i ns ur ance dur i ng t he
year, we were concerned
that wed have to get the
approval of all the par-
ticipating municipalities
to increase the budget for
that, Gracz explained.
Its mainly family health
i ns ur ance t hat r eal l y
increases your budget.
He said finance direc-
tor Lisa Novinska figured
that would increase the
budget less than 5 percent,
depending on when it hap-
pened in the year.
Then we could just add
the person to the health
insurance without getting
approval from the other
communities, Gracz said.
Our board was saying
they wanted it to be 10
percent, because you dont
know whats going to hap-
pen during the course of
the year.
Gracz said the village
has adjusted the budget to
absorb such fluctuations.
The towns and Brook-
lyn were nervous that our
Village Board could just
increase the budget and
theyd have to pay without
any say, he said. So this
says for anything over 7
percent, wed have to get
their buy in.
In discussing the issue
last week, Gracz and vil-
lage attorney Matt Dregne
suggested the board accept
the compromise. Dregne
noted the agreement will
be in effect only for three
years. It will then be revis-
ited for possible changes.
Probably in two years
well start working on the
next agreement, and well
have experienced this for a
couple years and Im sure
well tweak the next one,
Gracz said. A point I
was making to the Village
Board is were going to be
scrutinizing that closely
because we pay the biggest
share.
He sai d one per son
enr ol l i ng i n t he f am-
ily health insurance plan
could increase the budget
by as much as $15,000, or
4.8 percent.
Gracz said he expects
Dregne to submit a final
draft of the agreement by
June 27. The other com-
munities boards will con-
sider the agreement and
were going to try to meet
again July 29, and Im
hoping we can all vote on
it then, Gracz said.
Its been a very good
group to work with, and
Im confident this is going
to work.
Main points
Four municipalities that contribute to the
Oregon Area Senior Center budget are working
on a new funding agreement.
Village Board wanted a 10 percent cap on
how much the centers budget could increase
from one year to the next before having to get
approval for the increase from three of the four
municipalities.
Other parties wanted to set the cap at 5
percent.
A working group suggested a compromise of
7 percent.
Village Board last week approved the
compromise figure.
Im confident this
is going to work.

Oregon School District
OMS principal steps down
Seth Jovaag
Unifed Newspaper Group
Jim Pliner, principal at
Oregon Middle School since
2010, is resigning this month
to return to his roots in Madi-
son.
Pliner said Monday that he
has accepted a job to become
associate principal at LaFol-
lette High School, where he
previously served as athletic
director and baseball coach.
Ive had a great experi-
ence out here and have loved
every minute of it, Pliner
said. I just think (the new
job) was the right opportunity
at the right time.
Pliner was chosen in 2010
from 63 candidates to lead
OMS after working two
years as associate principal
at Sennett Middle School in
Madison. In all, he worked
20 years at schools in LaFol-
letes attendance area, includ-
ing seven years as a fourth-
grade teacher at Elvehjem
Elementary and seven more
as a teacher at Sennett. He
also coached the LaFollette
baseball team from 1995
to 2008, twice earning City
Coach of the Year honors. I
feel like Im going back to
place Ive been invested in
for a long period of time. Its
a community I know well and
that knows me well, he said.
The Oregon School Board
approved Pliners resigna-
tion Monday. Superintendent
Brian Busler said Pliner will
be missed.
One thing about Jim, he
knew all the students and
did a tremendous job build-
ing a wonderful culture at the
middle school for students
and staff, Busler said. If I
heard that once, I heard it a
thousand times from parents
over the last three years.
Busler acknowledged that
the middle school experienced
some turmoil at the position
prior to Pliners tenure, as two
principals were reassigned to
ot her posi-
tions within
the district
in 2007 and
2010.
Jim was
such a calm
and stabiliz-
i ng force,
Busler said.
It goes with-
out saying that we were dis-
appointed and sad that hes
going to be leaving us, but we
understand this is an oppor-
tunity for Jim to go home, so
to speak, and follow his pas-
sion.
The process for hiring
Pliners successor will be
ironed out this week, Busler
said, noting that no decision
has been made whether the
next principal will come from
within the district.
During Pliners tenure at
OMS, he helped guide the
school through major changes
in the districts grading poli-
cy. He said he also sought to
foster a collaborative cul-
ture in OMS and create a
place where students feel safe
and were very student-cen-
tered.
Pliner, 45, said he hopes to
enroll in a doctoral program in
education and is eager to help
Madison tackle its struggles
with an achievement gap
between students of color and
their white peers.
Its been wonderful here,
he said. Im going to miss
the kids, the parents, the com-
munity and the staff.

W
ell, this is it. Two-
and-a-half years after
taking the helm of
the Oregon Area Chamber of
Commerce, Im walking out that
door for the last time tomorrow.
As Observer readers already
know, I submitted my resig-
nation three weeks ago and
accepted a job running another
nonprofit organization in Rock
County. Its been a difficult
decision to
say goodbye
to Oregon, but
Im so proud of
the way I leave
this organiza-
tion and I want
to tie a bow
on things.
When I
began to write
this column,
my intent was to recount all the
successes of my time in Oregon.
And there have been plenty.
Why, just in the few weeks
surrounding my departure the
chamber will have sent six
Oregon High students to Busi-
ness World, our latest edition of
the Community Guide will be
out, new Welcome to Oregon
signs have been installed, a
new community map featur-
ing Member locations is ready
for print, Trachte is expanding
and Lycons concrete factory is
nearing completion. I would be
remiss if I didnt also note that
with the opening of Masons on
Main a couple weeks ago, the
downtown of Oregon is now
officially at 100 percent occu-
pancy.
Its incredible to look at this
community today, and Im so
proud of the part Ive been able
to play. This chamber, through
the efforts of your staff and our
members, is fiscally strong and
the future is bright.
The structural debt we had
when I arrived is gone, Sum-
mer Fest is more profitable and
weve successfully taken over
the job of producing our own
community guide. Not only that,
our relationship with the village
is strong and closer than ever,
both figuratively and literally,
with our office now located at
Village Hall.
Its hard not to crow about
these successes and recount
each one in detail, but Id rather
say a few thank yous to the
people who helped make them
happen.
First, I want to thank the
Village of Oregons staff and
board. Working with you all
has been an honor. While we
havent always agreed, we have
always shared a common goal
and a mutual respect. This vil-
lage is in good hands with the
strong leadership of President
Steve Staton and the Village
Board.
And Id like to thank the com-
munity as a whole for welcom-
ing me in and making me a part
of Oregon. I cant tell you how
much Ive enjoyed getting to
know you all.
Id like to thank our Mem-
ber Services manager Kristin
McGuine. Kristin is Oregon
through and through, and
she has not just been a great
employee of the chamber, she
has also become a great friend.
This chamber and this com-
munity is beyond lucky to have
someone of her talent and cali-
ber working on your behalf.
Finally, Id like to thank our
members. A chamber exists to
serve its members and to advo-
cate on their behalf. Thats the
part of this job Ill miss the
most.
Working to advance and pro-
mote the strong entrepreneurial
business owners and managers
of the Village has been a true
honor and an experience Ill
treasure. Thank you for the trust
you have put in me and in the
chamber.
I would have liked to stay
in this job for a lot longer, but
sometimes things dont go
exactly how you plan. Thats
life and thats business. Its how
we adapt and react to the unex-
pected, both the opportunities
and the obstacles, that counts.
As I move on Ill miss this
job, Ill miss this community,
Ill miss the people that I have
served. But I have every confi-
dence that the chamber I leave
behind is well-positioned to
serve the needs of the Oregon
area and to continue to nurture
a strong business climate that
balances commerce with com-
munity.
So thats it. Thanks for every-
thing and so long.

Letters to the editor
America is winning the race to the bottom
Were winning the race to the
bottom, but do we really want to
go there?
The United States is the wealth-
iest nation in the world but were
currently last among the worlds
21 most affluent nations where
it really matters, with the high-
est level of poverty, the most
inequality, lowest life expectancy,
highest infant mortality and least
maternity leave.
Were also near the bottom, in
terms of the material well-being
of children, mental health ser-
vices, obesity, spending on social
programs as a percentage of GDP,
paid annual leave and overall
environmental performance.
Is this really the future we want
for our children?

OSD gets tech grant
Efforts to bring more
technology into Oregon
High School got a big
boost last week with a
$71,214 grant from the
Wisconsin Technology
Initiative.
The grant will allow
OHS to equip 22 class-
rooms with interactive
whiteboards, document
cameras, mi crophones
and software to provide
a modern learning envi-
ronment and spread the
use of blended classes
t hat i ncorporat e bot h
online and traditional for-
mats, according to a news
release.
Students are going to
benefit from these tech-
nologies as teachers cre-
ate more visual, interac-
tive lessons, and make
them available online,
J on Tanner , Or egon
School District technol-
ogy director, said in the
r el ease. Many OHS
teachers are already put-
ting some of their les-
sons online so students
can review them anytime,
anywhere. This grant will
make that available in
nearly all classrooms.
The gr ant ai ms t o
reduce t he fi nanci al
barriers of integrating
instructional technology
into OHS classrooms,
the release said.
WTI was established
in 2010 by John P. and
Tashi a F. Mor gr i dge
t o i mpr ove academi c
achi evement by fund-
ing instructional technol-
ogy in schools throughout
Wisconsin, the release
said. It doles out about
$2 million annually to
schools, plus about a half-
million dollars each year
for teacher training, said
executive director Mike
Kerr.
John Morgridge is a
Wisconsin native and for-
mer CEO of Cisco Sys-
tems whose many philan-
thropic donations include
a 2007 contribution of

Family fun night
The Oregon PTO held its annual Family Fun Night on May 29. There were plenty of activities and fun for
all. Wayne the Wizard delighted the crowd with his magic tracks (picture attached). In addition there
was face painting, a disc jockey had all the kids dancing along with him (picture attached). The Oregon
police spent time with the kids and let them explore a patrol car, and the ever-present bounce activities
were popular as always. Little Buddys donated popcorn and Kwik Trip donated fruit.

Worthiness
Shame and fear are the twin enemies of feeling worthy. Most of
us feel that there are certain things that we dare not share with
others, dark secrets so shameful that were we to reveal them no
one would accept us. But, all have sinned and fallen short of the
glory of God, and we should not doubt that God loves us even
so. Gods making us was no mistake, and he certainly knew the
many ways in which we would fall short. Gods only requirement
for us is that we have the courage to confess our sins and own
up to our shortcomings. Confessing those sins and shortcom-
ings to our fellow man takes even more courage than confessing
them to God, but the payoff is worth it. We will thereby discover
which of our friends and family members will accept us just as
we are. One of the earliest meanings of the word courage is to
speak ones mind, or literally to tell ones heart. And indeed,
courage is required to tell ones heart. Remember, though,
that being worthy is less about being blameless and more about
opening our heart to others and trusting that they will accept us.
Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each
other so that you may be healed.

band. Im going to have
to take care of myself next
year. Ill be accountable for
my own decisions, which
will be cool but is a little
scary.
Lizzy Temte wont know
any of her classmates when
she arrives this fall at Colo-
rado State College, where
she hopes to study psychol-
ogy and play music. She
said she loves the moun-
tains and has family in the
area, but notes shell have
to be a good friend-maker
when she arrives at her new
school.
Twin sisters Caitlin and
Natalie Shirk are also tak-
ing a plunge of sorts by
part i ng ways. Bot h are
headed to schools they fell
in love with Natalie to
UW-Madison after working
this summer at a sandwich
shop, Caitlin to the Uni-
versity of Minnesota after
working this summer at a
research lab at UW.
Natalie said it will be
hard and very different to
be apart from her sister.
But I think it might be
good for us to experience
life without always having
the sibling right with you
the whole way, she said.
Natalie added that the
final week of school was
bittersweet.
There was definitely a
nostalgic feeling, thinking
back to kindergarten when
all of us were together, she
said.
Other students, includ-
ing Makyla Rusch, said
they are ready to move on.
Rusch is heading to UW-
Stout to study early child-
hood education after work-
ing this summer at Oregon
Daycare.

Middleton in their WIAA Division 1 sectional final at Badger Ridge Middle School in Verona.
Oregon falls 2-0 in a
sectional final shootout
AnthOny IOzzO
Assistant sports editor
Not one but two loud clanks off
the post and crossbar sealed the No.
2 Oregon girls soccer teams fate Sat-
urday during a shootout in the WIAA
Division 1 sectional final at Badger
Ridge Middle School in Verona.
After playing 100 minutes of
scoreless soccer, the Panthers and
No. 5 Middleton needed a shootout to
decide who was going to state. But a
knock off the post by senior forward
Annie Zavoral and a smash off the
crossbar by sophomore forward/mid-
fielder Kelsey Jahn was too much to
overcome in a 2-0 shootout loss.
You never like a game to end
that way, head coach Julie Grutzner
said. Technically, it is a tie, and
then there is a shootout to go to state.
Sometimes for me, it is better to lose
it in the flow of play and have a goal
scored than to have it come down to
that.
Oregon had several opportunities
to score throughout the game, but
none stood out more than one in the
77th minute by senior forward Lau-
ren Hughes. Hughes broke through
the defense and was open in the pen-
alty box about 10-15 yards out from
the goal but had a missed opportunity
as the ball was blocked away.
A few minutes before that, Hughes
made a nice pass to Zavoral who
passed back to Hughes as she rushed
into the penalty box but the shot was
wide right.
In the 56th minute, the Panthers
once again missed a chance to the
right after freshman midfielder Tay-
lor Martin found freshman midfielder
Jess Jacobs for a shot.
I felt like that was how our offense
was. We get in there. We would
battle and battle, but then we would
miss kick it or hit it wide, Grutzner
said. If you looked at how they were
playing, they had five defenders back
every time we were attacking with
our three, so it was really hard to get
any momentum going forward.
But that didnt mean Middle-
ton didnt have its opportunities, as
well. The Cardinals looked poised to
score several times during the game,
including two times when Oregons
defense stepped up to make the block
save on balls that would have went
in.
All week, we have been mentally
ready and practicing hard, harder
than we usually were, and we had a
lot of team bonding, senior defender
Sidney Peach said. We knew how
important it was.
Senior goalie Britt Peckham, who
finished with 11 saves, was battling
a muscle injury on her calf follow-
ing a collision in the sectional semi-
final. She was barely able to walk on
Friday, her father Paul said, but she
was able to play Saturday.
A few times, she was caught in a
tough spot after a save or odd bounce.
But other times, she had to make
some spectacular stops on one-on-
one attempts.
In the 54th minute, she kept the
Inches from state

game scoreless by diving to
her left to punch a ball away.
Middleton also shot a couple
of balls over the net or wide
despite being open in front of
Peckham.
In the shootout, Middleton
senior goalie Meghan Ledin
(six saves) had some extra
help with the post and cross-
bar, but she did stop the final
shot by junior forward Hailie
Schnabel to clinch the win
after four shooters. Senior
Bridget Arnold and freshman
Grace Douglas scored for
Middleton (14-4-4).
Last year, we lost to West,
and we didnt want it to hap-
pen again, Peach said. I am
glad we made it all the way
through play, but the shootout
sucked.
Oregon finishes the season
17-2-2 with a Badger South
Conference title, its second
straight, and a regional cham-
pionship.
And Peach and Grutzner
said the Panthers will be back
in this position next year. Ore-
gon loses 11 seniors that all
contributed, including Peck-
ham, Peach, Zavoral, Hughes,
midfielder Deegan, midfielder
Sarah Jacobs, forward Hayley
Engelhart, defender Kelsey
Beyler, defender Kayla Kaep-
pler, forward Aimee Urben
and defender Kara Jahn. But
they do have several under-
classmen that contributed all
year, including Kelsey Jahn,
sophomore Paityn Fleming
and freshmen Taylor Martin,
Jess Jacobs and Jen Brien.
Grutzner said that the expe-
rience gained goes beyond
handling the pressure of
being in a sectional final. Last
years champion Madison
West was knocked out in the
regional final, while Waunak-
ee, ranked second in the state
and in the top 20 regionally,
was knocked out in the sec-
tional semifinal.
It shows that to win games
like this, they are going to
have to work in the offseason.
There is no guarantee, she
said.
Oregon 2, Mad. Memorial 0
Zavoral wasnt used to tak-
ing free kicks for the Oregon
girls soccer team. That job
normally goes to Kara Jahn.
But Zavoral was surprised
to see Grutzner calling for her
to take the kick in the 53rd
minute of a scoreless WIAA
Division 1 sectional semifinal
between No. 2 Oregon and
No. 3 Madison Memorial.
And with a swift kick,
Zavoral buried the shot to
the upper left corner past
Madison Memorial fresh-
man goalie Amelia Heusek.
Kelsey Jahn added another
goal a few minutes later, and
the Panthers moved on to the
sectional final with a 2-0 win.
I looked over the corner
of my eye and coach was
screaming for me to take (the
shot), said Zavoral, who was
robbed of a goal by Heusek
(four saves) in the first half.
So I went over there, didnt
think about it and my gut
instinct was upper 90. It
was so amazing. It was sur-
real. I didnt even know what
was happening, and everyone
started screaming.
The two goals were a con-
trast to the previous 10 min-
utes of the second half when
the Spartans held posses-
sion, forced corner shots and
blocked the Panthers from
getting any through balls past
its defense in the middle of
the field.
Oregon did have a break
when Kelsey Jahn found her-
self alone on the left side of
Heusek in a one-on-one, but
Heusek robbed her of a goal
with a diving stab to her right.
Soon afterward, though,
a Spartan foul gave the Pan-
thers a free kick about 10
yards out on the top of the
penalty box. That is when
Grutzner decided to go with
Zavoral instead of Kara Jahn.
She has a great shot, and
it was in her range, Grutzner
said. Not that Kara couldnt
have done it, but I just felt that
Annie, who scored her 10th
goal of the season ... When
you are a goal scorer, you
want to be in those situations.
I called her name, and she had
a spectacular goal.
The switch in momentum
continued as the Panthers
kept the ball in the offensive
zone and put a couple shots
near the net. Memorial wasnt
able to clear the box on one,
and Kelsey Jahn was right
there to scoop up a bouncing
ball, knocking into the lower
left corner for a 2-0 lead.
At the time, adrenaline
was pumping, and I knew we
got this, Zavoral said. At
that moment, I knew we had
the game in the bag.
Memorial put some pres-
sure on Oregon for the final
15 minutes with three corner
kicks and a free kick about the
same distance as Zavorals.
But the Panthers and Peck-
ham, who finished with five
saves, were able to keep the
shutout intact.
The first half wasnt as
exciting on offense minus a
couple of shots. The Panthers
possessed the ball the first
10-15 minutes, and the Spar-
tans finished the half with
control in the last 10-15.
And both teams estab-
lished physical play early on
with contested passes, short-
lived passing lanes and many
bumps and knockdowns.
The Panthers also had a
scare in the 33rd and 34th
minutes. Peckham made a
save but couldnt handle the
rebound and was stranded
away from the net in a pile of
green and white jerseys.
Luckily for Oregon, the
ball was cleared to the mid-
dle of the field and Peckham
returned to her post. Memo-
rial charged one more time,
but Peckham was there again.
So was a Spartan, however,
and a collision quieted the
crowd and the bench as Peck-
ham lay on the field holding
her ankle.
After a five-minute injury
timeout, she was able to walk
it off and finish the game.
Grutzner said that tough play
from a program like Memo-
rial, which made state two
years ago, is to be expected.
It was good for my girls to
know that is how you play,
she said. You play physical,
not dirty. You just play physi-
cal and smart, and I think we
did that today.

You may have noticed
the exhaust tower on the
villages north side. Its
the most obvious sign that
things are moving forward
in the Alpine Business Park.
Construction of Lycon
Inc.s new ready-mix con-
crete plant in the business
park is on schedule, and it
should be up and running by
October.
The company, which pur-
chased 80 acres in 2005
from t he Al pi ne Dai ry
for the business park, had
delayed construction of the
facility by more than six
years from its original plan,
due largely to the recession
and the accompanying lack
of residential and commer-
cial construction.
Lycon now owns almost
16.5 acres in the business
park, north of Braun Road
and east of Cusick Parkway.
The new facility is being
built on four acres and is
expected to provide jobs for
12 or 13 people, village offi-
cials have reported.
Repeated telephone calls
and an email to company
officials have not been
returned, but village offi-
cials confirmed it is on
schedule.
Public works director
Mark Below said the com-
pany has agreed to pay for
engineering to build a rail
crossing at Braun Road on
the villages north side.
Its a new crossing, so
we have to petition the
Office of the Commissioner
of Railroads to have rails
cross Braun Road now,
Below explained. Lycon is
taking the lead on it because
they also need to run a spur
off the main line into their
facility.
There really wasnt a lot
of engineering for us, he
added, but as long as they
were doing it for their facil-
ity, they agreed to do the vil-
lages as well.
The tracks will go back in
where theyd been removed
when Braun Road was
extended into the business
park a few years ago. Below
said some kind of safety
measure will be built at the
crossing, whether its the
crossing arms with flashing
lights or just a stop sign. The
OCR will determine that.
The company scaled back
its facility to about half the
size of the plant it originally
intended to build, when a
protest from Oregon Area
Pr ogr essi ves accompa-
nied the villages approval.
Lycon presented a revised
building plan at Planning
Commission meeting last
November.
As part of its operation,
the company also plans to
use the long inactive rail
line thats jointly owned by
the Village of Oregon and
the City of Fitchburg. Trains
have not run on that section
of track since 1997, Below
said.
The Village of Oregon
and the City of Fitchburg
own the tracks from Butts
Corners Road, just north of
Evansville, to McCoy Road.
Wisconsin and Southern
Railroad is in the process
of improving the line from
McCoy Road to Nether-
wood Road. Lycon plans
to use the rails only as far
south as Netherwood Road.
Theyre going to activate
the whole line but only use
that portion of it, Below
said. Theyve inspected
all the railroad crossings
between McCoy Road and
Butts Corners Road to see
what kind of safety devices
they need at all those cross-
ings. Its all in anticipation
of activating the line.
The rail cars will carry
aggregate to the Lycon plant
to make concrete.

ter, Oregon Community Bank & Trust president and CEO,

After almost seven years
in business, the owners of
Oregon Liquors decided to
call it quits about two weeks
ago. Their last day in busi-
ness was Tuesday, May 28.
Ross and Sharon Berge
are disheartened that what
Sharon predicted as the Vil-
lage Board debated approv-
ing the opening of a competi-
tor Alpine Liquors in the
summer of 2011 has come to
pass.
This is directly related to
the Village Board and their
decisions, Sharon Berge
said last week. Weve lived
in Oregon all our lives. My
familys been here 67 years.
Its really hard when
you have bad business part-
ners, and thats our Village
Board.
Berge also took a shot at
Brett Frazier, the outgoing
director of the Oregon Area
Chamber of Commerce,
who appeared in support of
Alpine Liquors owner Ted
Wallace at Village Board
meetings.
The chamber shoul d
focus on keeping existing
businesses instead of bring-
ing in new ones, she said.
We lost a lot of money.
Back in 2011, Berge said
repeatedly that if the board
were to approve Wallaces
application for a liquor
license, it would drive Ore-
gon Liquors out of business.
The board first denied
Wallaces application in June
2011. But Wallace didnt
give up and returned to apply
again a month later, with
Frazier supporting the appli-
cation.
The board reversed its
initial decision in August,
when trustee Darlene Groe-
nier switched her vote. But
when Wallace went to the
state licensing agency, he
learned that the name hed
used on his liquor license
application had already been
reserved by Sharon Berge
in an attempt to thwart his
application, which the board
approved a second time on
Sept. 6, 2011.
Alpine Liquors opened in
April 2012 on North Main
Street, one block away from
Oregon Liquors, in a store
more than twice its size.
Ross Berge, who managed
Oregon Liquors, said the
weak economy also played a
part in the demise of his busi-
ness.
The year was l ook-
ing OK, and then that store
opened up, he said. A
small business like we had,
if you take 10 percent away
thats a big hit.
Like his wife, Berge was
critical of the Village Board
and the chamber leader.
Its a matter of mathemat-
ics, he explained. You put
too many spots in the village
that do the same thing and it
makes everybodys living a
little slimmer.
I had customers coming
in for the last year saying,
What is wrong with the Vil-
lage Board? Why would they
allow that? I understand
competition and all of that,
but that was just wrong.
Berge said hes looking for
work and while he doesnt
have anything locked in,
he has seen lots of opportuni-
ties.
Well be all right, he
said. Its just really disheart-
ening.
Oregon Liquors closes its doors after almost seven years in business

accus at i on, Zach s ai d
he has not spoken to her
directly about it but pro-
vided a written statement to
the Observer Tuesday.
I am disappointed that
Rae has made public accu-
sations regarding a continu-
ing internal Board discus-
sion regarding Board mem-
ber protocol during meet-
ings, he wrote.
Zach said Vogeler was
given the opportunity to
speak at the HAC meeting
at the appropriate times
and at those times she asked
questions of and voiced her
opinion to the committee.
In an interview, Zach said
that, in general, commit-
tee discussions are limited
to members first, and audi-
ence members including
board members are given
separate opportunities to
chime in at the appropriate
time.
Board meetings have a
certain protocol so they are
run efficiently and orderly,
he said.
He added that the com-
mittee and the board as a
whole plans this summer
to address Vogelers con-
cerns about the districts
empl oyee handbook,
including sections about
employee discipline, and
that teacher input will be
welcomed.
Resident Matt Zebell also
attended the June 5 meeting
and, in an email to board
members, said Zach should
apologize.
You may not like it, sir,
but Ms. Vogeler represents
many thousands of this
communitys residents,
Zebell wrote in the email he
also sent to the Observer.
In fact, she represents the
majority. You may not per-
sonally like Ms. Vogeler.
But in a public forum, you
are expected to treat fel-
low board members with
t he respect t hei r offi ce
deserves.
Backi ng Zach, how-
ever, were board president
Cour t ney Odor i co and
member Lee Christensen,
who attended the June 5
meeting and in separate
interviews disagreed with
Vogelers take.
I dont agree with her
accusation that he was bul-
lying her, Odorico said.
My observation was quite
the opposite, I felt (Zach)
ran the meeting in an effi-
cient and professional man-
ner.
She said Zach did rebuff
Vogelers attempts to speak
during a committee discus-
sion but opened the floor to
her and other community
members later in the meet-
ing.
Quite frankly, Im dis-
appoi nt ed t hat Vogel -
er made the accusation,
Odori co sai d. I dont
feel its appropriate board
behavior.
Christensen also said he
felt Zach ran the meeting
properly and gave Vogeler
multiple chances to speak.
Vogelers letter is the lat-
est in a series of dust-ups
on the board since the April
election.
She has ruffled feath-
ers by addressing audience
members or asking them to
speak to the board without
seeking permission to do
so, leading to some awk-
ward moment s bet ween
herself, Odorico and Zach.
She and fellow newcom-
er Dan Krause have also
questioned whether spe-
cific agenda items were
properly worded to let the
public know what was to
be discussed. And Vogeler
has criticized the board for
holding committee meet-
ings at times when employ-
ees cant attend.
On Monday, she and
Krause cast rare vot es
agai nst appr ovi ng t he
school board meetings
agenda after Vogeler had
lobbied to include a discus-
sion about the human assets
commi t t ees power and
procedures.
Vogeler had asked Odori-
co in late May to add the
discussion to the agenda,
but Odorico declined her
request, saying she felt
it was inappropriate to
debate that topic when the
committee was wrapping
up negotiations with the
teachers union (the two
sides reached a tentative
agreement on a 2012-13
collective bargaining agree-
ment last week).
Board policy is unclear
on whet her Vogel er s
request should have been
gr ant ed. I t says mem-
bers must make a written
request to place an item on
the agenda 10 days before
a meeting which Vogeler
did but it doesnt state
whether the president must
accept that request.
For her part, Vogeler said
Tuesday her intent was to
spark discussion of how
board committees operate,
how decisions are made,
minutes are kept, all of
that.
The goal is not to be con-
frontational, Vogeler said,
but to fulfill a campaign
promise to keep board busi-
ness open and transpar-
ent.
Board members on Mon-
day seemed in agreement
on one thing the group
needs to meet soon to hash
out its differences.
Odorico said Tuesday
that she hopes to schedule a
board meeting soon to dis-
cuss meeting protocols and
procedures.
The goal is to get us
moving together as one uni-
fied group, she said. That
doesnt mean we always
have to agree. Great things
can come out of disagree-
ments on the board. But
were just really distracted
right now by issues that
arent helping kids.
In other news Monday,
the board approved:
The resignations of Deb
Dagitz, librarian at Brook-
lyn and Netherwood Knoll
elementary schools; OHS
special education teachers
Julie Jossart and Lisa Bar-
man; OHS English teacher
Andrea Prater, and NKE
advanced learning teacher
Jori Pauli
The retirements of Patti
Thorp, special education
teacher at NKE; and David
Freitag, physical education
teacher at NKE
The purchase of three
empty lots on the Village
of Oregons west side for
$225,000. The lots at
690 and 665 Prairie Grass
Road and 117 Onyx Court
will be set aside for future
homes built by students
in the high schools home
const ruct i on cl ass. The
yearlong class sets aside
roughly three class periods
each afternoon for up to 15
students to learn on-the-job
skills and has been in Ore-
gon since 2001.
Updated versions of two
policies outlining prohib-
ited uses of school comput-
ers or internet service, rang-
ing from cyberbullying to
downloading inappropriate
material to communicating
in an improper romantic or
sexual nature.
The board voted 6-1 to
approve, with Rae Vogeler
voting against. She said she
agreed with the intent of
the policy but had concerns
that the policy might over-
reach because it applies to
both personal and district-
owned devices.
OSB: Some members didnt see accusation as appropriate

month with a mediator from
the Wisconsin Employment
Relations Commission to
hammer out an agreement.
Before that, union leaders had
called for broader negotiations
to cover issues like prep time
and training for staff and for
keeping the traditional sal-
ary schedule, which provides
automatic raises for years of
experience and educational
credits.
Those issues were not
addressed in the tentative
agreement. Asked to com-
ment Tuesday, Fishwild said
he was hesitant to discuss
the details in the press before
union members had a chance
to review the deal.
Regardi ng t he sal ary
schedule, superintendent
Brian Busler said a team con-
sisting of OEA and district
officials will work this sum-
mer and fall to hammer out a
recommendation to the board,
possibly by January 2014.
Last weeks agreement also
said the board intends this
summer to review district pol-
icies regarding how teachers
are disciplined or fired, a topic
that has stirred controversy
locally for nearly two years.
The agreement also calls
for teachers to be reimbursed
up to $210 for each graduate
school credit they earn, and to
boost pay by $600 annually if
they have completed a pro-
fessional development plan,
which is required by the state
for teachers to renew their
teaching licenses.
Deal: Board intends to review district policy
