Village of Oregon
Board
looks into
other lots
Staton: Downtown
parking isnt that bad

One at t empt t o expand
parking downtown has failed,
but village officials continue
to look at buying or leasing
other properties downtown.
The Village Board met in
closed session Monday to dis-
cuss the possibility of acquir-
ing one of two rental proper-
ties owned by local commer-
cial developer Paul Lynch.
Last year, officials queried
Lynch about his interest in
selling a property that houses
an auto repair business adja-
cent to the Jefferson Street
parking lot. Lynch told village
staff then he wasnt interested
in selling the property.
Last week he t ol d t he
Observer it was because he
didnt want to displace the
business. He acknowledged
that he had been contacted by
the village recently about the
other properties.
After the closed-session
discussion, the board dis-
closed that it will continue
to talk with Lynch about the
properties.
The board deci ded t wo
weeks ago not t o pursue
negotiations over buying a
historic home at 146 S. Main
St. Officials then began to
look at other properties to

The kids are signed up for triathlon now what?
victoria vliSiDeS
Though the Oregon Kids Tri-
athlon is about two months away,
a new local triathlon training pro-
gram is offering to help kids pre-
pare.
Local fitness trainer and certi-
fied triathlon coach Miranda Bush
runs an eight-week kids triath-
lon training program twice each
Tuesday through her fitness cen-
ter, The Zone Fitness and Train-
ing at 280 W. Netherwood Road.
The training sessions famil-
iarize youth with different parts
of a triathlon, including how to
transition from one sport to anoth-
er, Bush said.
Bush said she recognizes a need
for more youth triathlon training
due to the sport gaining popular-
ity in Oregon and elsewhere in
Dane County.
I n t h e p a s t f e w y e a r s ,
registration for the annual Oregon
Kids Triathlon slated for Aug.
10 this year has filled up weeks
before the August deadline. Addi-
tionally, other area kids triath-
lons in Waunakee, Middleton and
Verona are growing more popu-
lar.
Katie Hensel, organizer of
Verona-based Tri 4 Schools, a
nonprofit that puts together youth
races, said demand keeps growing
as more kids are exposed to the
sport through their parents and the
Wisconsin Ironman race that rolls
into the county each September.
But Bush said kids triathlons
often move to the back burner
behind traditional sports like soc-
cer or basketball. And kids are
more likely to stick with the sport
if they know what to expect when
race day comes.
Bush, a triathlete herself, has
three kids ages 8-10 who partici-
pate in triathlons. She said that
kids at age 9 can get frustrated
because the distances get longer.
For example, in the Oregon
Kids Triathlon, an 8-year-old
would swim 50 meters, bike a
mile and run a half-mile. But
a year later at age 9, the swim
doubles to 100 meters, the bike

Village officials investigate alternatives for recreation trail route
Bill livick
Unified Newspaper Group
After finding out a few
weeks ago that the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service
wi l l not al l ow t he vi l -
lage to build a recreation
t rai l across i t s wet l and
northwest of Oregon, vil-
lage officials say theyre
considering an alternative
route.
Village President Steve
Staton said he would con-
tinue discussing a route
wi t h t he owners of t he
Alpine Dairy that would
skirt the border of its land
and still accomplish the
goal of creat i ng a t rai l
from the village to Fish
Hatchery Road.
Lisa Robbins, the niece
of owners Betty and Dor-
ot hy Kel l er, has t urned
down a request to have the
trail cut through a wood-
land on the north side of
their property. But Staton
said the three may be open
to the trail going around
the perimeter of the farm.
We woul d mi ss t he
woods and go along the
east, south and west border
of their farm land, Staton
explained. The south seg-
ment would be right along
Netherwood Road.
Under the possible new
scenario, the trail would
begin on Cusick Parkway
i n t he Al pi ne Busi ness
Park, turn south 90 degrees
and go t o Net her wood
Road, t hen head west
to the edge of the farm
field along Netherwood,
and then it would go back
north and around Madsen
Circle, Staton said.

Oregon School District lands $25K grant
The Oregon School District recent-
ly notched a $25,000 grant that will
be used to teach skills and supply
information aimed at preventing
alcohol and illegal drug use among
youth.
The state Department of Public
Instruction awarded $950,000 to 53
projects affecting 87 school districts,
according to a June 11 DPI news
release.
In Oregon, the funds will be used
to update the Oregon High School
health curriculum pertaining to
alcohol and other drugs, support stu-
dent groups that arrange alcohol-free
events and provide training for staff
who work with kids with alcohol or
drug abuse issues, said Amy Miller,
the districts community education
director.

Its not as ideal as the
ori gi nal rout e because
youve got those right-
angle turns, but it does
make t he connect i on
were looking for.
St a t on not e d Da ne
County might be rebuild-
ing Fish Hatchery Road
in the next year or two
and adding a paved bicy-
cle lane. That, he said,
could give added value to
the proposed bike route
from the village to Fish
Hatchery.
It would connect adult
riders up to Madison, he
said.
The Village Board vot-
ed unanimously Monday
to formally accept ease-
ments on land owned by
t he Wi sconsi n Depart -
ment of Corrections and
Emily Harris, who owns
property on Fish Hatch-
ery Road where the trail
would end.
Staton said he and oth-
er village officials have
hear d comment s f r om
several residents in sup-
port of the planned trail.
Those statements are
in line with the results
of the villages Strategic
Plan survey, which indi-
cated that 70 percent of
respondents either agreed
or st rongl y agreed we
should connect with Mad-
ison, Staton said. So
theres a strong desire to
have that.
Additionally, the Ore-
gon Rotary Club has a
st andi ng offer t o con-
tribute at least $10,000
toward the construction
of the trail.
They said it could go
up to $20, 000, Staton
added. If we can get to
the Badger State Trail,
that would be great for
recreational riders.
The village does not
have a cost estimate yet
for the possible new trail
route. Earlier estimates
put the cost to build the
trail at $1.2 million, but
that was when the project
still included an extensive
and expensive board-
walk.
The village has applied
for $730, 000 i n grant
money for the project.
It was awarded a Dane
County PARC matching
grant of $250, 000 t wo
years ago and has since
appl i ed agai n f or t he
same grant.

With the help of some
friends last year, Gail and
Al Brown organized the
st at es fi rst chapt er of
Bicycles for Humanity, an
international organization
that sends used bikes to
people in developing coun-
tries.
The Browns goal was to
ship about 430 road-wor-
thy bikes to a remote part
of Kenya. The couple got
the idea from their daugh-
ter, Donna, who had trav-
eled to the east African
nation as a volunteer and
saw first-hand how valu-
able a bicycle can be.
When she returned to
Swi t zerl and, where she
lives with her husband,
Donna Brown did some
research and discovered
Bi cycl es for Humani t y.
She formed a local chapter,
but had trouble collecting
many used bikes because
of her remote location in
the Alps and because peo-
ple in Switzerland tend to
hold on to such posses-
sions for a long time.
But the United States
is more of a throw-away
society, said Gail Brown,
who recalled her daugh-
ters phone call, with the
message: Mom, you can
do this.
That was all the encour-
a ge me nt Ga i l Br own
needed. She began to look
into Bicycles for Human-
ity about a year ago. Since
then, Bicycles for Human-
ity Oregon Wis. has held
two bike collections and
plans to conduct another
from 8 a.m. 1 p.m. Satur-
day, July 20.
More than 400
collected
So far, the Browns and
their key partners, Jerry
Tyler and Wendell Matzke,
have collected more than
400 bikes. Initially theyd
planned to store the bikes
in Tylers barn, where over
the winter they would swap
parts and fix them up.
Before long, it became
obvious they would have
t oo many bi kes for t he
space. So the Browns con-
tacted a friend, Marshall
Mennenga, who offered to
allow the group to ware-
house them in a building
on the site of the former
Peoples United Methodist
Church, at 249 N. Main St.
in Oregon.
For the past six months
or so, local volunteers vis-
ited bicycle repair shops
in the area asking for any
used part s especi al l y
tires that the shops could
donate for the cause. Over
the winter the local group,
with Matzke as the chief
bike mechanic, organized
the bicycles and recondi-
tioned them.
Word of the warehouse
location and the need for
bikes gradually got out,
Gail Brown said.
We have a bright red
door, she said. We go
there every day and theres
another bike waiting.
The group hopes to col-
lect about 800 bikes in
order to find 430 that they
can refurbish and ship to
Kenya, Brown said.
The real ski nny-t i re
bikes are not ideal, she
added. The ideal bike is
a one-speed old Schwinn
with fat tires. Were get-
ting a lot of kids bikes.
We r e t r yi ng t o s end
half adults and half kids
bikes.
They al so need spare
parts and money. Brown
said it will cost about $25
per bike or $10,750 to
send 430 bikes to Kenya.
The l ocal chapt er al so
needs t o buy a 40-foot
shipping container, which
could cost another $1,000
- $2,000.
Onc e t he bi ke s a r e
shi pped, t he cont ai ner
will stay in Kenya and,
Brown hopes, be used as a
bike repair shop. She also
hopes to sponsor a bicycle
mechanic to go there and
teach the locals how to fix
bikes.
Reaching out
Brown, who is soon retir-
ing as pastor at Brooklyn
United Methodist Church,
said the Oregon Rotary
Club is partnering with
Bicycles for Humanity on
the project. Local churches
have also gotten involved.
Some churches have
taken this on as their mis-
sion project, she said.
She and Al traveled to
Kenya and Uganda in Jan-
uary as part of a Rotary
Club Friendship Exchange.
Whi l e t her e, t hey met
Rotary partners in Kenya
who will receive and dis-
tribute the bikes.
We saw the need and
how bi kes are used for
everything, Brown said.
They use bikes to go get
clean water or to get to
school or to a medical clin-
ic.
Local event planned
The Browns and their
partners are putting togeth-
er a community bike ride
and healthy food fest, ten-
tatively scheduled for Sep-
tember.
We r e d o i n g t h i s
because Oregon has a lot of
wonderful bike trails that
many people are not aware
of, Brown said. We want
to promote healthy food
and biking, which is such
a good form of exercise. In
the process, well be rais-
ing money to send bikes to
Africa.
She said in the mean-
time, the local chapter can
always use more volun-
teers to fix bikes and raise
funds.
If people really want
to help, they can do fun-
draising maybe hold a
bake sale or something,
she said. Its been a joy-
ful project, and once we
get our first shipment out,
well know how to do this
and can make it an ongoing
effort. Its the ultimate way
for people to recycle their
bikes and make a differ-
ence.

H
umans relationships
with dogs can be dif-
ficult. We dont always
have the time or inclination
to give them the attention and
exercise they need; sometimes,
were lazy about disciplining
them.
For their part, animals do not
always behave
well and are
not always
kind or obedi-
ent. Despite
good treatment
great food,
dog parks, soft
beds, winter
clothes and
even spas
there are times
when dogs
behavior is over the top, and we
simply must deal with the ani-
mal side of them.
This is nothing new, but there
is still a changing nature of
our relationships with animals,
especially dogs. Psycholo-
gists have observed that many
people, especially those in
advanced countries, are coming
to rely on their pet dogs to be
their best friend, their confidant
and their emotional outlet jobs
that used to be met by friends
and family.
As our relationships with
canines become more complex,
some of us seem increasingly
unwilling to treat them as the
animals they are and more as
individuals, akin to the way we
treat each other.
As they are asked to meet our
emotional and psychological
needs, questions of discipline
and punishment take on greater
urgency. Do we beat our dogs
or yell at them? Or do we try
to understand their behaviors
as reflecting their individuality
and life experiences and then
respond appropriately?
The following show how two
people handled biting animals;
they are stories of tough love
with a modern twist, examples
of the greater efforts that
humans companions now go to
ensure respectful and humane
treatment.
In the first, a young woman I
know from Madison adopted a
Catahoula hound from a rescue
society about a year ago.
Catahoulas are bred to hunt
wild boars in the swamps of
Louisiana. The dog, for the most
part, was gentle and affectionate
to those humans it considered to
be members of its pack. How-
ever, it had a Jekyll-and-Hyde
personality, and for no apparent
reason it would turn on other
dogs and small humans and bite.
After paying for others vet
bills, and after spending a con-
siderable amount of money and
time on training to no avail,
the owner decided enough was
enough, and put the dog up for
re-adoption per her adoption
agreement rather than seeking
to have it put down. After six
months, a family in a rural part
of Maine offered to take her in.
The journey to Maine was
coordinated by the breeds res-
cue society. The owners obliga-
tion was to bring the dog from
Madison to the first handover in
Cleveland. From there the dog
was transported to Buffalo, and
from there step-by-step to the
final destination, where it was
able to begin a new life suited
to its genetic makeup (or so it is
hoped).
The second incident was
related to me by a young Ital-
ian friend, who told me, with
some sadness, that his familys
pet dog, a boxer, was serving an
extended sentence in a local dog
prison for having bitten sev-
eral elderly people.
In Italy, the law prohibits
the killing of dogs except for
the rare case of a dog killing a
human. Instead, the Italian gov-
ernment hires veterinarians to
serve as judges to determine the
fate of biters.
The state operates a series
of kennels where biting dogs
are kept until they receive their
sentences. In some cases where
dogs are determined to not be
rehabilitable, they are kept in
government facilities for the
remainder of their natural lives.
In my friends case, the dog was
transferred to a private prison
and the family was required to
pay about $350 per month for
room and board.
Conditions in the prisons are
said to be harsh. Owners are not
encouraged to visit their former
pets, since contact only kindles
memories of the relationship.
The dogs life is reduced to a
routine not unlike that which
faces hardened human crimi-
nals: occasional exercise in the
yard, boring and bad food and
overcrowding but not death.
The family had argued that
the dog was gentle and not
generally a threat to others.
After negotiation, the official
veterinarian decided the dog
could be released if the family
was willing to construct a tall,
escape-proof fence around the
back yard. The fence was duly
constructed and the dog was
released from prison.
He was one of the lucky ones,
since many Italians live in small
apartments where a fenced yard
would not be possible.
Traditionally, many dogs are
put down by people who are
not willing to expend the effort
necessary to find adequate
homes for pets that have com-
mitted serious offenses against
humans. As our relationship
with dogs continues to deepen,
society seems to be taking an
increasingly dim view of what
we now call animal maltreat-
ment.
Some would say these out-
comes show a remarkable
evolution in human thinking,
away from the idea that man has
dominion over all animals, as
expressed in the Book of Gen-
esis, toward a more compassion-
ate and respectful point of view
that treats animals as fellow
creatures. Others would argue
that we are spending time and
effort on animals that should be
better spent on alleviating the
suffering and misery of our fel-
low humans.
The line may have been drawn
between humans and animals,
but it is shifting, and where it
stops is hard to know.

Oregon resident.

Letters to the editor
School board should recognize bullying
I am disappointed that some
Oregon School Board members
do not recognize bullying and or
intimidation of other members of
the school board as stated in the
Thursday, June 13, 2013 Oregon
Observer.
I witnessed the intimidation
toward Rae Vogeler at the Human
Resource Committee meeting on
June 5.
Other citizens witnessed this
unnecessary display of disrespect
as well. I have also witnessed
this kind of behavior at school
board meetings, not only toward
Vogeler, but other members in the
past and a disregard to citizens
and staff.
This is indicative of how the
school board and some adminis-
trators in the district office oper-
ate. This is a poor choice for a
leadership style.
The leadership style needs to
change. The citizens of the Ore-
gon School District are aware,
intelligent and watching.

Disability Advocate graduates
from leadership program
Dani el Bl omgr en, of
Oregon, graduated from
Partners in Policymaking
on May 11, a leadership
program from the Wiscon-
sin Board for People with
Developmental Disabilities
(BPDD).
I really enjoy advocat-
ing for myself and others,
said Blomgren. I hope we
can increase transportation
options for people with
disabilities in Wisconsin.
Wisconsin Partners in
Policymaking is in its sec-
ond-year as an advocacy
and systems change lead-
ership program that pre-
pares self-advocates and
family members of people
with disabilities to work on
policies and initiatives that
will support full participa-
tion and inclusion of peo-
ple with disabilities in all
aspects of life. It includes
six sessions that cover top-
ics such as employment,
inclusive education, advo-
cacy, disability policy, and
systems change. Nation-
wide, there are close to
15,000 graduates working
to make changes in their
communities.
Partners in Policymak-
i ng equi ps part i ci pant s
with the knowledge and
tools to make a difference
in the lives of people with
disabilities in Wisconsin,
said Beth Swedeen, execu-
tive director of the BPDD.
I am confi dent Dani el
Blomgren will continue to
be a strong advocate for
people with disabilities in
his community.
BPDD is dedicated to
i mprovi ng t he i ndepen-
dence, productivity, and
integration of people with
developmental disabilities.
It was established to advo-
cate on behalf of individu-
als with developmental dis-
abilities, foster welcoming
and inclusive communities,
and improve the disability
service system.

Spiritual Exploration
The Bible is full of spiritual explorers, men and women who
ventured out into the unknown, often against great odds and the
advice of their friends or family. The Old Testament Prophets are
perhaps the paradigm of spiritual explorers, challenging both
the secular and religious authorities who governed them. There
is a temptation to play it safe in religion and to play the dutiful,
obedient servant, but that risks stagnation. If you want to grow,
you need to explore, and that may require going to places where
you wouldnt expect to find religion. The prophet Hosea married
a harlot in order to experience Gods relationship to Israel. Jesus
interacted with the dregs of society, tax collectors and people
of questionable morals, and wasnt shy about criticizing those
thought to be the pillars of society. But, perhaps most relevant
to spiritual exploration is Jesus sojourn in the desert. Indeed, a
sojourn in the wilderness has become a metaphor for spiritual
exploration. The journey into the wilderness is both an escape
from the everyday hustle and bustle of life and a chance to com-
mune with God. We should find our own best way to commune
with God, whether that involves going off alone to a quiet place or
interacting with folks with whom we wouldnt normally interact.
Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was
led by the Spirit in the desert, where for forty days he was tempt-
ed by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and at the end
of them he was hungry.

miles and the run covers
1.2 miles.
I just think if theyre
ready for it, theyll enjoy it
more, Bush said.
Training sessions, for
ages 9-12, offer assistance
to familiarize youth with
different parts of a triath-
lon running, biking and
swimming so they can
learn how to pace them-
selves. They train outside,
in the fitness center and
at the Oregon Community
Pool.
I t s al l f un- based,
Bush said of the activities.
Sessi ons st ar t ed l ast
week and run through July.
With two sessions to pick
from on Tuesdays, one in
the morning and one in the
afternoon, kids can still
join for $12 a week.
For children who want
to do a one-time training,
Zone Fitness is also offer-
ing two clinics in August.
One-hour clinics Aug.
1 and Aug. 2 are for ages
5-12 and will have bike
and run training, nutrition
advice and transition tips.
Bush hopes kids being
more prepared for a triath-
lon will keep them in the
sport.
Its all in the training
one step at a time, liter-
ally, she said.
Oregon Kids Triathlon filling up fast
Victoria Vlisides
Oregon youths are again
gearing up to bike, run and
swim their way through
the Oregon Kids Triathlon
held in August but parents
ought to act fast, too.
That s becaus e t he
eighth-annual event already
has 300 participants signed
up, said event coordina-
tor Deb Bossingham. The
triathlon for youth ages
5-17 caps at 500 partici-
pants. The $32 registration
which raises funds for the
co-organizers, the Oregon
Community Swim Club
and the Oregon Community
Pool is open until August
but usually closes before
that.
While the first event in
2006 had 260 kids total,
last years race filled up
by mid-July with kids on
a waiting list. Bossingham
expects the same this year.
Right now it seems to be
what the community wants
and needs, she said of the
triathlon.
The obvious question is
why not expand the event,
but Bossingham said its
not that simple.
Wed love to, she said.
But adding participants
could strain the ability of
volunteers to monitor their
safety.
With a kids triathlon ,
you have to be concerned
with their safety first, she
said.
Instead of expanding,
organi zers cont i nue t o
tweak the volunteer-run
event to improve safety.
For example, last year more
lifeguards were on duty at
the community pool, where
the swim portion is held, to
oversee younger swimmers.
The triathlon encompass-
es six different age groups
between 5-17.
They begin the swim-
ming portion of the event
in the Oregon Pool, then
transition to get shoes, hel-
mets and bib numbers for
the cycling leg of the race.
Contestants start at 30-sec-
ond intervals between 7:30-
10 a.m.
Course lengths get longer
with age. The 15-17 and
13-14 age groups have the
most challenging course,
i ncl udi ng a 200-met er
swim, a 5.5-mile bike ride
and a 1.6-mile run.
For the cycling course,
12-and-under racers loop
up Oak Street and back on
Soden Drive, while the old-
er racers do a return loop on
Schuster Road northeast of
the village.
The run takes 12-and-
under athletes on a loop
from Brook to North Oak
streets while the older ath-
letes will loop through Jay-
cee Park. The finish line is
located in the field east of
Netherwood Knoll Elemen-
tary School.
Each athlete gets a par-
ticipation medal, a goodie
bag and a wicking ath-
letic T-shirt, and top male
and female finishers in each
age group receive trophies.
There will also be a raffle
and silent auction.
The Aug. 10 triathlon is
run by about 200 volun-
teers, but theyre always
looking for more.
Its not just me running
the show, Bossingham
said.

Safety day
Families got a closer look at Oregons safety equipment at the safety day held Saturday, May 4, at Prairie View Elementary
School. Inside the gym, kids were treated to free bags with various information about how to stay safe. Local businesses and organiza-
tions also hosted information booths as well. Fingerprinting for
kids and eye screenings for all ages were available, too. Above,

Oregonians to star in Verona
production of Peter Pan
Oregon native Bridget
Zach and t eacher Mi ke
Ducett will star as Peter Pan
and Captain Hook, respec-
tively, in the Verona Area
Community Theater presen-
tation of the classic story of
Peter Pan at the Verona
Performing Arts Center
June 21-29.
The character of Peter
Pan was created by the
Scottish novelist and play-
wright, J.M. Barrie. It was
made into a musical and
premiered on Broadway in
1954. It was later made into
many different films.
The musi cal t el l s t he
story of a fearless little
boy (Zach) who refuses to
grow up. Peter Pan spends
his never-ending child-
hood advent ure on t he
small island of Neverland
as the captain of his gang,
the Lost Boys. The shows
advent ures begi n when
Peter teaches Wendy, John
and Michael how to fly and
invites them to come with
him to Neverland.
Throughout their adven-
ture together, they meet
Tiger Lily and her Indi-
ans, the notorious Cap-
tain Hook (Ducett) and his
loyal friend, Smee, and
the hilarious pirates, along
with many other fun and
adventurous characters.
The production will enter-
tain people of all ages and
includes flying, magnificent
musical numbers, dancing
and sword fighting. Some
of the memorable songs
include I Gotta Crow,
Never, Never Land, and
I Wont Grow Up.
Missy Holcomb directs
the show with the help of
producer Dee Baldock.
Taki ng a t r i p back
to Neverland and work-
ing with over 50 enthusi-
astic performers to bring
this magical story to life is
both fun and exciting, said
Holcomb. Peter Pan is a
favorite childrens story for
many, and I am so thrilled
to be able to bring it to life
on the Verona stage.
Peter Pan opens at the
Verona Area High School
Performing Arts Center on
June 21 with additional eve-
ning shows on June 22, 27,
28, and 29 at 7:30 p.m., and

develop more downtown
parking.
Th e Or e g o n Ar e a
Chamber of Commerce
has pushed for more park-
ing, and most downtown
busi ness owners have
agreed. But some are say-
ing the village might not
need more parking in the
area.
On Tuesday, Village
President Steve Staton
told the Observer hes not
sure it is even an issue.
Ive driven through
town a number of times
and made a point of going
down there in the eve-
nings, especially on week-
ends, and can you park
right in front of the res-
taurants? No, you cant,
St at on sai d. But you
cant (park in front of) any
place thats a good res-
taurant. You have to park
and walk a block or block-
and-a-half, and the Hitch-
ing Park was basically
empty.
The village owns three
good-sized parking lots
downtown: the Hitching
Park, the lot next to Vil-
lage Hall and the lot on
Jefferson Street. There
are also parking spaces
along Janesville Street
and North and South Main
Street.
Its a short walk (from
the parking lots), Staton
added. The problem is
you cant see the restau-
rant from the parking lot,
but for people who know
the village just a bit, its
an easy walk down there.
Meanwhile, the Village
Board Monday discussed
potential improvements to
the Jefferson Street park-
ing lot, including where to
place a corral for trash
receptacles and how to
better police the area.
The Chamber of Com-
merce has suggested sev-
eral ways to upgrade the
lot: regrade and resurface
the pavement; reconfigure
stalls to maximize space;
relocate shared Dumpsters
to a corral in a corner of
the property; create a more
functional traffic pattern;
relocate the electrical and
warning siren poles; and
create better lighting.
The board also autho-
rized village staff to get
a proposal from the engi-
neering firm MSA to cre-
ate additional signage for
downtown parking lots
and to produce maps for
downt own busi nesses
showing parking in the
area.
We r e not s pend-
ing any money, village
administrator Mike Gracz
said Tuesday. This is just
getting a proposal. The
board may decide not to
do it, but several people
have suggested getting
a map to put in the local
businesses. Well share
that with the chamber and
see where it goes from
there.

The program grows let-

in the schools hoop house.
Students also maintain 18
flower gardens around the
building. Produce grown in
the hoop house is taken to
the farmers market for sale.
Donated two years ago
by the Rotary House, the
hoop house is maintained
by science classrooms dur-
ing the school year. Inside,
the students grow rhubarb,
Swiss chard, green beans,
watermelon, tomatoes and
other vegetables. The sum-

to harvest the crops that
started during the academic
year as they become ready.
During the school year,
most of the lettuce grown is
harvested for the new salad
bar at the school. Pushed
for by Stout, the lettuce is
given away free at lunch to
students who want a salad.
This summer, students
are still enjoying fresh sal-
ads every day one group
is tasked with cleaning the
lettuce and preparing sal-
ads for the other students.
But the majority is taken to
the local farmers market.
The first stint at the mar-

called it. While getting to
the market may have been
an adventure they got a
late start after struggling

2012 CONSUMER CONFIDENCE REPORT
PWS ID 11302511, OREGON WATERWORKS
Introduction
We are pleased to present this years Annual Water Quality Report to you, dis-
cussing the water quality and services delivered to you every day. Our goal is to pro-
vide a safe and dependable supply of drinking water. We want you to be aware of our
ongoing efforts to improve the villages water treatment process and at the same time
protect our water resources. We are committed to ensuring the quality of your water.
Drinking water for the Village of Oregon area retail and wholesale customers
is provided from three (3) ground source wells. The wells are located in different
stone formations such as Glacial Drift, St. Peter sandstone, Prairie Du Chien Dolo-
mite, Trempealeau Formation, Franconia sandstone, Galesville sandstone, Eau Claire
sandstone and Mount Simon sandstone.
The Village of Oregon currently operates the water system with two full time
employees that are licensed through the State of Wisconsin Department of Natural
Resources (DNR). These employees are responsible for sampling the water quality
that includes daily testing of fuoride levels. Chlorine levels are tested twice weekly
and nine (9) bacteria tests and one (1) split sample testing for fuoride are conducted
monthly with the State Laboratory of Hygiene. One (1) bacteria test of raw water from
each well occurs quarterly. These same employees also maintain 49 plus miles of
water mains, 526 fre hydrants and 713 water main valves.
In addition to the three wells, the Village also has three underground reservoirs
and two standpipes and one water tower that store approximately 1.36 million gallons
of water for consumer consumption and fre protection. In 2012 the Village of Oregon
pumped over 270 million gallons of water.
The Village has adopted a wellhead protection plan by ordinance to protect
groundwater at its three existing wells. This plan may be reviewed at the Village Hall
during normal business hours.
We are pleased to report that our drinking water is safe and meets federal and
state requirements.
Water System Information
If you have any questions about this report or concerning your water utility,
please contact Oregon Water Department at 835-6294. We want our valued custom-
ers to be informed about their water utility. If you want to learn more, please attend
any of our regularly scheduled Public Works meetings. They are normally held on the
fourth Monday of each month at 117 Spring Street and begin at 5:45 p.m. Please call
the Village Clerks offce to verify meeting date and time (835-3118).
Health Information
Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain
at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does
not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about con-
taminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental
Protection Agencys safe drinking water hotline (800-426-4791).
Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than
the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer
undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people
with HIV/AIDS or other immune systems disorders, some elderly, and infants can be
particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking
water from t heir health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means
to lessen the risk of infection by cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants
are available from the Environmental Protection Agencys safe drinking water hotline
(800-426-4791).

ro_seq_no=134803
Educational Information
The sources of drinking water, both tap water and bottled water, include rivers,
lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs and wells. As water travels over the sur-
face of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and,
in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the
presence of animals or from human activity.
Contaminants that may be present in source water include:
Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from
sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations and wild-
life.
Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally- oc-
curring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater
discharges, oil and gas production, mining or farming.
Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as
agriculture, urban stormwater runoff and residential uses.
Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chem-
icals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and
can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff and septic systems.
Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of
oil and gas production and mining activities.
In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations that
limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems.
FDA regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water, which shall pro-
vide the same protection for public health.
Number of Contaminants Required to be Tested
This table displays the number of contaminants that were required to be tested
in the last fve years. The CCR may contain up to fve years worth of water quality
results. If a water system tests annually, or more frequently, the results from the
most recent year are shown on the CCR. If testing is done less frequently, the results
shown on the CCR are from the past fve years.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Save Money When Sprinkling Lawns
When sprinkling lawns, youll lower your water bill by following this advice:
Sprinkle lawns early in the morning or in the evening. (On hot days, as much as
75 percent of the water evaporates when you sprinkle between noon and 6 p.m. Why
pay for water that wont reach the grass and plants roots?)
Dont sprinkle lawns more than once a week. (Light frequent sprinkling isnt
good for your lawn because it encourages a shallow root system rather than a deep,
healthy root system. Established lawns need about one inch of water a week. To
check sprinkling effciency, place a cup on the lawn when you sprinkle. When water
reaches the one inch mark, turn off the sprinkler).
Water Hardness - 18.25 Grains = 310 P.P.M.
Calcium and magnesium - two minerals that cause water to be hard - are found
in groundwater throughout Wisconsin, including the Village of Oregon. At 18.25
grains, the Village of Oregons water hardness is at a level that responds well to a
home water softening device.
Because water is softened by adding salt, install a softener only on your hot
water supply or leave the kitchen tap unsoftened. That way, youll avoid adding sodi-
um to your drinking water. Dont forget: water softeners require regular maintenance,
regeneration, and salt purchases.
If You Have Water Problems
Be sure to call the Village of Oregon Utility if:
water backs up in your basement,
you smell sewer gas,
your water pressure is low,
your water is discolored, or
you see water running into the street.
If water is backing up in your basement, stop using all water. Then, call the Vil-
lage of Oregon water utility before you call a plumber or private drain cleaning com-
pany. Village of Oregon utility workers will come out and help you determine if the
problem is in the Villages line or yours. If the problem is in the Villages lines, the
Village will fx it at no charge. If, however, the problem is in your line, you are respon-
sible for cleaning or repair.
If you are experiencing unexplained high water use, we can also check your
homes plumbing for leaks or faulty fxtures. (There is no charge for this service.)
If you experience a water/sewer problem between 7:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., call
(608) 835-6294. If you have water/sewer problem after hours or on weekends, call the
police dispatcher at 835-3111. The dispatcher will contact a utility employee to check
the problem.
About Bottled Water
Under federal law, water bottlers are subject to less rigorous testing, treatment
and public notifcation requirements than community water suppliers. In addition,
bottled water does not contain fuoride, which has been shown to help prevent tooth
decay.
Also, bottled water is more expensive than tap water. If you drink three 20-oz
bottles of water each day, it will cost you over $1,000 a year. The same amount of
Village of Oregon tap water will cost you 40 cents for the year.
CONCLUSION
Thank you for allowing us to provide your family with clean, quality water. In
order to maintain a safe and dependable water supply we sometimes need to make
improvements to the water system. These improvements are sometimes refected in
rate structure adjustments. Thank you for understanding.
Please note it is important to keep the area around the fre hydrants free of snow,
debris, weeds and plantings to ensure the water department is able to maintain hy-
drants properly.
At the Village of Oregon, we are constantly working to provide top quality water
to our customers. We ask that our customers help us protect our water sources,
which are important to our quality of life and future. Thank you for taking the time to
review this report, and please call our offce if you have questions and/or comments.
