Oregon resident Rick

Kessenich keeps a pretty
low profile around town.
If you havent met him at
the Firefly Coffeehouse,
youve probably seen some
of his work on television.
Kessenich is an independent filmmaker, producer and director whos
had a long career in business advertising production. Hes produced and/
or directed television and
radio commercials for lots
of large companies, including Subway, Farm and Fleet
and Duluth Trading Company.
He graduated from high
school in 1978 in Two Rivers and got into the advertising profession after
majoring in journalism
at Marquette University,
where he learned to shoot
and edit videotape back
in the days before digital technology. That gave
him the skills to land a job

The

Alpine
escapes
board action
Liquor store violations not enough
for revoking license
BILL LIVICK
Unified Newspaper Group

With some strong reservations and one dissenting vote, the Oregon Village Board decided Monday not to hold up the alcohol license renewal of
Alpine Liquors.
The large liquor store that entered the village
under controversy three years ago has run afoul
of state regulators, but trustees decided its violations werent enough to
deny the stores existing
license.
The board was perVillage Board
forming an annual routine
Monday, renewing 20
sets hiring
alcohol beverage licenses
committee
and 13 operators licenses
to sell alcohol, as well as
Page 3
granting five new operators licenses. Trustee
Eric Poole asked to consider separately the renewal of Alpine Liquors owner Ted Wallaces license,
and the board discussed it before concluding it did
not have grounds to repeal it.
Wallace had appeared before the board last month
to answer questions about complaints from state
investigators that hed been illegally transferring
alcohol between his Oregon and Madison stores.
Wallace told the board in early May that he had
quit transferring liquor eight to 10 months ago
after learning it was illegal. He also said employees were responsible from much of the transferring and that he had fired some of his former managers who participated in the transfers.
But a complaint filed April 3 by the Wisconsin
Department of Revenue, Alcohol and Tobacco
Enforcement Unit alleged that on Tuesday, March
3, agents inspected Wallaces stores and found
evidence the transfers were ongoing.
Nonetheless, Staton commented that the village
didnt have grounds for not approving the license
right now.
Staton said the entire discussion will serve as a
warning.
We put him on notice that he has to operate
entirely within the law, he said. So hes been
warned. I think hes gotten the message.
Gracz noted that under state law even though
granting them is at the discretion of the municipality liquor licenses are difficult to take away
Once you give a license, it is really hard to
revoke it, per state law.
State law provides the same procedures for not
renewing a license as revoking or suspending one.
It involves a formal summons and hearing that is
similar to a court trial.
Wallace owns retail liquor stores at 905 N.
Main St. in Oregon and 6420 Cottage Grove Road
in Madison. He opened Alpine Liquors in Oregon
in March 2012.

Hillcrest church marks 25 years

Congregation aims to connect, grow and serve

SAMANTHA CHRISTIAN
Unified Newspaper Group

Hillcrest Bible Church in

Oregon celebrated its 25th
anniversary with a blast
from the past on Sunday,
May 17.
Founding pastor Scott
Ziegler and his wife, Linda,
along with three charter
members who still attend
services, were recognized
at the event, which highlighted the churchs history
and values. Other members
who have moved away
recorded videos that were
shared at the celebration
to tell stories and wish the
congregation well.
A Hillcrest Museum
was set up in seven different rooms for groups members to tour, which featured
memorabilia and hundreds
of photographs throughout
the years. A person who
experienced those events
was stationed at each room
to share their story from
that time period.
The church came into
existence on January 9,
1990. What started as a
small meeting in peoples
homes, the town hall and
even a hotel has steadily
grown to a congregation
of nearly 350 people. The
church owns a building and
also rents space at the high
school.
Since April 2009, pastor Eric Vander Ploeg has
led the church, located at

Its a temporary decision, Vander Ploeg said.
Were thinking through
what the futures going to
look like in this space or
wherever, but for now its
served us really well.
Hillcrest is an independent, non-denominational church. Vander Ploeg
described it as a conservative, evangelical Christian church with a lot of
younger families.

The church has been

very committed to helping
people who either didnt
grow up in church at all, or
grew up in a church environment but it never really
clicked for them, he said.
We kinda help people like
that figure out what God
is all about and discover

First, connecting people

More local concerns

Those measures are
largely opposed by school
districts around the state,
including Oregon, whose
administrators and school
board members drafted a
letter to Walker and state
legislators in March outlining their problems with
some proposals.
In an email to the
Observer, Busler said hes
deeply concerned with
the Joint Finance Committees action and what this
means both for the OSD
and the state of public education.
Throughout the state
budget debate, little has
been said about the reality that Wisconsin public

have excelled on multiple
measures on a national
basis over time, he said.
We need to celebrate our

BILL LIVICK

According to the Wisconsin Department of

Administration, Wisconsins budget covers a two-year
period from July 1 of one odd-numbered year through June
30 of the next odd-numbered year. In the fall of the evennumbered year, state agencies submit budget requests to
the Department of Administration.
The Governor is required by law to deliver the budget message to the new legislature on or before the last
Tuesday in January, although the legislature can extend the
deadline at the Governors request. To meet the states budgetary cycle, the budget should be signed and effective by
July 1 of the odd-numbered year. If there is a delay, state
agencies operate at their appropriation authority from the
prior budget until the new budget is in effect.
quite unlikely that public
schools will see additional
school funding to help pay
for the continuing costs of
school operations.
In the state budget, it
is clear that the Governor
and Legislators have allocated funds to support pay
increases for state staff,
department budgets and
the ongoing costs of operations, he said.
Busler then listed some
continuing concerns with
the states approach to the
education budget, including:

it would be considered

If the states Joint

Finance Committees
recent decision on school
funding is a precedent for
the future, Oregon School
District voters might have
another referendum ahead.
OSD superintendent Brian Busler said based on his
30 years working in public
education. the district cannot continue to operate in
this funding structure.
Therefore, we need to
give consideration to an
operating referendum to
pay for our cost to continue expenses (utility
costs, raises for staff) and
then consider programming improvement costs,
he said. I wish this was
not the case, but I see the
challenges we face and we
need state support to fund
our public schools or we
have to ask local taxpayers
to pay for our schools with
ongoing referenda. Our
public schools are at the
center of our community
and we want them to thrive
to prepare our students for
the future.
The JFC approved a
decision 12-4 two weeks
ago on a straight partyline vote that restores Gov.
Scott Walkers proposed
$150-per-pupil cut in public school districts, but
could have several negative
effects on Oregon. Those
include prohibiting districts from raising taxes to
replace state aid lost from
private school vouchers in
their district, eliminating
Common Core standards,
providing a new teacher
licensing system with less
qualifications than currently required and allowing
independent charter schools
to open under conditions
specified by the legislature.
Restoring the $150 perpupil credit during the first
year of the budget essentially constitutes a revenue
freeze for public schools.
The committee also added $100 in per-pupil revenues for the second year
of the budget, though in

he number of people living to age 90 and beyond

is exploding nationally,
and the 90-plus crowd is now
the fastest growing segment of
the population.
We certainly see that trend
locally, as well, as the number
of seniors age 90 and over in
our community has never been
higher.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau,
the number
of people age
90 and over
almost tripled
from 720,000
in 1980 to
1.9 million
in 2010. That
population is
Brickner
expected to
more than quadruple between 2010 and 2050,
to about 8.7 million. By 2050
about 2 percent of the US population will be 90 or over.
Each year in preparation for
the Senior Centers Over 90
Celebration in June, I talk with
some of our citizens who have
reached the milestone age of 90
or more. These super-seniors
(as the 90 and up group is
sometimes called) are an amazing bunch. A conversation with
someone in this age group can
help bust a lot of stereotypes
people might have about our
most senior citizens.
The seniors I talk with are the
ones who are still living fairly
independently. Statistically
about one-third of super-seniors
live alone, while roughly another one-third live in a household
with others, and the remainder
live in an institutional setting.
The two biggest challenges
reported by super-seniors are
doing errands alone and mobility related limitations
I ask the seniors a bunch of
open-ended questions to see
what I can learn and what lessons I can glean from all of
their decades of life experience.
The conversations tend to be
lively and fascinating and difficult to condense in a few sentences, but I will do my best.
One woman in her early 90s

told me she thinks one of the

biggest challenges of a long life
is financial:
I never expected to need to
make my money last so many
years, she said. If I had
known I was going to live this
long, I would have worked longer and retired later.
This squares with the Census
Bureaus findings that financial resources for those over 90
are less than they are for any
other group of seniors. That
should give those of us still in
the workforce reason for pause
as we consider our own future
retirement years.
On the other hand, at least
a few of the super-seniors I
have spoken with still have
jobs. They work at jobs they
enjoy and appreciate the sense
of accomplishment that their
employment offers. These
seniors seem in no hurry to
retire fully, having found a balance that works for them.
Most of the 90-plus crowd
is not employed, but many are
busy with volunteer work of
one sort or another, in addition
to keeping up with their own
chores at home. As one supersenior told me, Im not really
retired. How can you ever
retire from housework? She
noted that she does everything
more slowly than she used to,
but she still gets it done.
Another task that keeps some
of the over 90 group busy is
care-giving. Part of this group
is providing hands-on care for
a loved one, usually a spouse
or partner, but sometimes a
child or grandchild. In contrast,
several of the group are the
recipients of care, provided by
a spouse, partner, child, grandchild, friend or neighbor.
I like to ask super-seniors
why they think they have lived
so long. The answer that came
up most commonly boils down
to luck.
Some super-seniors have
other long-lived family members and claim there may be a
genetic component to their longevity, but many do not. Some
gave credit to the miracles of
modern medicine, and a few

people half-jokingly referred to

clean-living as the reason for
their long life, but mostly people attributed it to just luck.
I also asked the super-seniors
that I spoke with to sum up
what it is like to have lived so
long. One woman answered, It
is hard to picture that youve
gone through 90 years sometimes it went fast and sometimes it went slow, but it is all
gone now every minute of
every day of those weeks and
months and years.
Another told me, You look
back on things that were incredible, like the Depression and
World War II, and wonder how
you ever got through them.
Later generations have no idea
what hardship is.
One trait shared by many in
the group I spoke with was a
tendency not to think of themselves as old.
When I asked one senior in
her early 90s if she was surprised to have lived such a long
life, she laughed and replied, I
never thought about getting old
and slowing down, and I still
dont.
She admitted that she doesnt
get as much accomplished in
a day as she used to, but also
acknowledged her days are
filled with classes and volunteer work: I still want to be
involved in a lot of things, she
said. There are so many interesting things to do.
The super-seniors are busy
with a lot of interesting
things, including educating the
next generation about what living into your 10th decade can
be like.
One of the conversations I
had that made me chuckle was
with a 90-year-old who patiently answered some of my questions, and then told me she had
a question that maybe I could
answer. She wanted to know
how to renew her passport for
another 10 years she has some
international travel planned.

Smile! It Will Make You and Others Happy!

There is a very interesting psychology experiment where you trick people into either smiling
or frowning without their knowing it (by telling
them to hold a pencil either in their teeth, to
make them smile, or with their pursed lips, to
make them frown), and while they hold that
facial position you tell them a joke. Those who
are holding the smile usually rate the joke as
being funnier, presumably because they are
already halfway laughing to start with. The moral
of the experiment, if experiments can be said to
have a moral, is that our bodies often take the
lead in making us feel happy or sad, or calm or
anxious. Droopy, lackadaisical posture will make
you feel defeated while standing up tall and
strong will make you feel like a winner. So smile,
even when you dont feel much like smiling, or
perhaps especially when you dont feel much like
smiling. And an added benefit to smiling is that
it tends to spread the happiness. Have an attitude and a countenance that is worth catching.

Coda for the maestro

Sanyer built music program from the ground up

SCOTT DE LARUELLE
Unified Newspaper Group

When Leyla Sanyer came

to Oregon High School,
there were about a dozen
students enrolled in orchestra in all four grades.
For next fall, registration in the strings programs
alone at OHS is 125, part of
a district program of nearly
600 students, supported by
more than five full-time
teachers.
That says it all about
Sanyer, who is retiring this
year after teaching at OHS
for 28 of her 38 years in
education. She built a program from the bottom up
to one that is renowned for
both its quantity and quality.
In the process, shes been
active promoting music
education throughout the
state and country, having
served as president of the
Wisconsin Music Educators Association and currently president-elect of
the National Association
for Music Education North
Central District.
It all started when Sanyer
was a child. Her Europeanborn parents were always
playing music at home, taking her and her brother to
concerts and encouraging
music study in schools. She
started playing the violin
in fifth grade, and studied
in sixth through 12th grade
under Thomas Buchhauser,
then the Madison Memorial High School orchestra
teacher and now a conductor for the Wisconsin Youth
Symphony Orchestras.
He was a big influence
on my decision to pursue
music after high school,
Sanyer said. As a junior in
high school, I knew I wanted to teach.
After receiving a fouryear tuition scholarship
from UW Summer Music
Clinic, she decided to take
the plunge and enrolled as
a major in music education
at the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus.
After graduation, Sanyers
teaching career started
in the Manitowoc Public
School District, where for
10 years she taught string
classes in grades 5-8.
It was a wonderful way
to break into the profession, she said.
In 1986, she married Brad

Sanyer Outstanding Orchestra

Student Scholarship
While Leyla Sanyer is leaving her employment in the district, there will always be a part of her spirit that remains.
The Oregon Friends of the Orchestra, along with students,
alumni and parents of current and former orchestra students are working to establish a scholarship in her honor.
The $500 scholarship will be awarded each year, beginning
in spring 2016, to a graduating student who has shown
dedication to orchestra, consistently exhibited leadership
and a welcoming and encouraging attitude to fellow orchestra students, and who has broad interests and an overall
passion for learning.

Tim Martinelli, Oregon High School - 21 years

Lisa Weilader, Oregon High School - 30 years
Beverly Ballweg, Oregon High School - 22 years
Schneider (also retiring this
year, as Middleton High
School band teacher) and
the new couple moved to
the Oregon area as she finished her masters degree in
music education from UWMadison and began playing
with the Oakwood Chamber Players and the Madison Symphony/Wisconsin
Chamber Orchestra. In
the fall of 1988, she began
teaching in the Oregon, but
there werent many students to teach.
There were about 15
students in the high school
orchestra class two were
playing violin in eighth
grade but the beginning
class of 50 fourth-graders
restarted a little enthusiasm
for stringed instruments
here, she said.

Bittersweet tune
Sanyer said shes kind
of (in) denial about retiring, and will miss her students and colleagues every
day.
I dont feel tired, just
ready to move on to other
ways of teaching there is
no question about that, she
said. Oregon has been a
great place for me.
Sanyer said the studentcentered nature of her
work has been most satisfying part of her job. Students and families as well
as district leaders have
been open to music students
making decisions on what

path they would like to follow in their studies, she

said. So there are orchestras, rock bands, Celtic
bands, composition work,
improvisation study, integrated units, Winter Music
Clinic, cultural trips and
much more. Collaboration
is more honored than competition.
Oregon is unique, Sanyer
said, because of its unusual commitment to arts
education, due mostly to
the great overriding understanding that a flexible,
well-rounded education is
critical for every child.
Over 28 years, I think
I can comfortably say that
this support is bearing out
in successful lives for Oregon music students, she
said. I hope that the current stressors on public education in our state do not
change this kind of enthusiasm.
Busler, who said he was
fortunate to have two
children as Sanyers students, said shes a state- and
nationally recognized educator who will be missed.
Leyla Sanyer has taught
our students to appreciate
and love music, he said.
Her influence on students
has been remarkable, and
we thank her for her service
to our students and know
that she will continue to
advocate for music education for students in Wisconsin.

The Brooklyn kid

Schulz came back home in 1981 and never left

SCOTT DE LARUELLE
Unified Newspaper Group

The famous 1970s TV

sitcom Welcome Back
Kotter told the story of
young man from Brooklyn who returned to his old
high school to teach a new
generation of students.
Of course, that was set in
Brooklyn, N.Y., not Wisconsin.
While Dale Schulz might
not have been a Sweathog
like Kotter, the Brooklyn,
Wis., native was indeed
coming back home to teach
in the very spot he once
learned.
In Schulzs busy classroom Monday, he proudly
showed an Observer story
from 1981 about his returning to teach at Brooklyn
Elementary School. His
mentor was Betty Manson,
who was also his fifthgrade teacher, though it
took her a while to realize
it. Schulz would later student teach under her direction, and that fall was hired
on permanently.
And 34 years later, Im
still here, Schulz said with
a wide grin. I started kindergarten in this school and
went to sixth grade, I student taught in this school,
and then I taught here my
entire career 41-and-ahalf years Ive been in this
building.
His retirement at the end
of this school year completes his roundabout trip
back to Brooklyn that started when he graduated from
Evansville High School
in 1974, after his family moved out of the district. He joined the Marine
Corps, then later through
the G.I. Bill was able to go
to school at UW-Madison,
where he studied education.
Teaching seemed to be
pulling me in that direction,
but I didn't realize I could
be lucky enough to student
teach in Brooklyn , because
living in Madison, Brooklyn was a perfect spot, he
said. I chose Brooklyn,

Brooklyn Elementary School teacher Dale Schulz points to an Observer story from 1981 announcing
his student teaching assignment at the school, where he once attended as a child. Schulz is retiring
later this month after teaching 34 years in the district.

if they had a teacher who

would take me, because of
my roots here. I didn't realize I would find a former
teacher of mine taking me
in.
Schulz credits a guidance
counselor in Evansville for
suggesting he teach elementary grades instead of
high school, which he had
been leaning toward.
In the 1980s, very few
men were in elementary
(education), and he said,
You would be a great fit

for an elementary school

setting, so I switched my
major, he said. I was
very lucky, because this
fourth grade in Brooklyn
is the only grade Ive ever
taught.

Generations
Schulz has seen Brooklyn
grow both the community
and school over the years.
When he attended school,
there was only one classroom per grade; now there
are four.

As students keep passing

through, so does time. A
few years ago, Schulz said
he started to see a transition, with children of his
former students now coming up through the ranks
and into his fourth-grade
class.
This year I have a little
girl in my room and I taught
her father in my first class,
and now I get to have his
daughter in my final class,
so that family kind of bookends my career, he said.

That's been a real honor

for me too, to sit at a conference with a former student and now talk about
their child.
It isnt just parents,
either. When a new substitute showed up at the office
a few years ago, she found
out he had taught her husband at the school years
before.
Thats when I knew I
was getting up in experience, when substitutes
are coming up and saying
I taught their husbands,
Schulz chuckled.
But perhaps his best
memories are of helping
young teachers get their
start, just as Betty Manson
helped him. A favorite story is when one of his first
students graduated college
and was headed to Texas to
become a teacher. But not
before spending some quality time once more with Mr.
Schulz.
She wanted me to just
talk to her about teaching,
and brought a spiral-bound
notebook, he said. She
remembered her fourthgrade experience, and she
wanted to take some of the
information and knowledge
I had ... to her brand new
classroom.
Another story is when his
son, Kyle, graduated from
UW-La Crosse and was
able to student teach in his
classroom.
I took a personal day
just so I could hand my
keys from my classroom to
my son, and say, Go teach
my kids today start your
teaching career with my
class, Schulz said, filling
with emotion. That was
a cool moment, but then
on another day he actually
subbed for (the teacher next
door) and actually being
able to stand out in the hall
next to my son, that was a
very humbling and touching moment. Also, my
daughter-in-law, one of her
first long-term sub jobs was
in Brooklyn, so not only did
I get to teach side-by-side

with my son, I got to teach

my daughter-in-law as they
entered a teaching career of
their own.
They both had a chance
to be here with me.

A cornerstone
Long-time Oregon
School District superintendent Brian Busler said
Schulz is a terrific person
and an even better teacher
who has served for many
years as a positive influence
on students.
The Mr. Schulz lessons in his room have been
brought to life for students
for years and we thank
him for being such a great
teacher and role model,
Busler said.
Brooklyn Elementary
School principal Kerri
Modjeski said its hard to
know where to even start
when honoring Schulz, who
she called a cornerstone
at the school for 34 years.
She said what impresses her
most is that his foundation
is built upon developing citizenship, responsibility and
respect in all his students.
He sets these expectations first and the learning
follows, Modjeski said.
He has been a brother
figure, a father figure, and
a friend to staff. He has
had the perfect balance of
knowing when to listen and
when to coach. As a mentor to all, he has earned
the nickname of building
elder.
She asked students to
choose one word to describe
him, and they chose determined.
They felt like that is
how he approaches teaching determined to help
kids succeed, determined
to have kids be their best
and reach their potential,
Modjeski said. The students also shared Dale's
quote: Make today your
masterpiece.
That, I believe, encompasses it all he has made
his career a masterpiece.

Q. What is colic in horses and why does it happen?

A. Colic is usually caused by abdominal pain and there are a variety of causes.

Rich grass in the spring causes gas colic. Bitter cold in the winter can contribute
to impaction colic (constipation). Common symptoms of colic in horses include
pawing, rolling, not eating and looking at their sides. While most colics are
successfully managed medically, they can rapidly become life threatening if the
intestines become blocked or misplaced. Call your veterinarian if signs of colic
are observed.

some time for themselves.
Respite care not only benefits the senior caregiver. Seniors appreciate respite
care as it provides them an opportunity to socialize and converse with
someone other than their primary caregiver. The variety of having someone
else come into the home adds to their enjoyment of life.

And when you schedule respite care to give yourself valuable downtime,

youll likely be more enjoyable company for your loved one, as you will be
more rested and relaxed.
Without respite care, youre more likely to become resentful, depressed and more susceptible to

LeBrun
leads
Oregon
to state
JEREMY JONES
Sports editor

Schneider, who defeated Alex

Pletta to win the No. 2 singles bracket in order to reach the state tournament last year, faced the Verona
junior once again Thursday with
Schneider prevailing 4-6, 6-4 (10-7)
despite battling a migraine.
I knew it was going to be a good
match, but I felt confident having
beaten him twice, Schneider said.
Schneider (21-8) went on to finish runner-up to Madison Memorial

A confident Maddie LeBrun earned her first sectional

title in the 400-meter dash
Friday at the WIAA Division 1 Janesville Parker sectional, racing to first place
by more than a second-anda-half in 58.97 seconds.
During the race its just
me and it doesnt matter
how anyone is running,
LeBrun said. If theyre
ahead of me, Im going to
catch them and if theyre
behind me I cant see them
anyway.
The junior finished a spot
away from medaling in the
400 at state last year, finishing seventh overall as a
sophomore with a school
record 58.24. She enters this
weekends state tournament
at UW-La Crosse seeded
11th.
I think the goal is definitely to medal this year,
LeBrun said.
Sophomore Madelyn St.
Clair, freshmen Jenna Igl
and Taylor Schmidt and
LeBrun opened the meet by
earning the final state qualifying spot in the 4x800. The
quartet posted a 9:54.51 for
third five second behind
Kenosha Indian Trail and a
little less than three seconds
behind Stoughton.
I think just running at
state on both relays is goal
enough for us, LeBrun said.
Thats what we wanted to
do and once we get there, I
guess we just give it our all
and see where it takes us.
She then joined freshman Alexis Jackson, junior
Samantha Girard and senior
Riley Rosemeyer to help
Oregon close out the meet
with another sectional championship, defeating Milton
by a full second in 4:02.19.
Its really indescribable,
LeBrun said. I knew we
could do really well if we
put our hearts into it, but
we did so much better than
I even thought we would. I
didnt see a win in the 4x4
coming, I thought wed get
second or third and we won
it comfortably.
Despite entering the 100
hurdles as one of the favorites, Jackson clipped a hurdle and fell, leaving her out
of state.
Alexis was leading the
race and kind of trips up in
the hurdle, but thats the
gamble thats the hurdles,
Panthers head coach Ned
Lease said. It was tough for
her teammates to see her go
down and I think it kind of
affected some of the others.

Oregon High School senior Josh Sromovsky won the WIAA Division 1 Janesville Parker sectional title in the long jump with a leap of 21 feet, 2 inches on Friday.
Sromovsky also helped the Panthers 4x200-meter relay of Brennen Deegan, Peter Kissling and Lucas Mathews reach this weekends state tournament. He will be joined at
state by John Hermus (pole vault), Chris Cutter (800-meter run) and Alex Duff (300 hurdles).

A leap ahead

Sromovsky wins sectional

long jump title, Cutter
breaks 800 record
JEREMY JONES
Sports editor

Senior Josh Sromovsky

scratched his first two jumps
in the prelims of the long jump
Friday at the WIAA Division 1
Janesville Parker sectional, and
then on his third attempt posted
a jump of 21 feet, 2 inches that
held up through finals to win
the competition by seven-and-ahalf inches over Kenosha Indian
senior Manny Jones.
I wasnt too happy about the
jump. Im just happy that I won,
said Sromovsky, one of four individuals and part of the 4x100

relay that qualified for this weekends WIAA Division 1 state

track and field meet. It means a
lot knowing I won sectionals, but
Id have liked to jump a little better.
Junior Chris Cutter broke a
41-year-old Oregon High School
record in the 800 to finish runnerup by six-hundredths of a second
behind Westosha Central senior
Shane McNealy in 1:55.5.
Chris just ran a picture-perfect race, head coach Ned Lease
said. He got out in good position, maintained good position
and kept a cool head when things
could have gone a little crazy and
then finished up great. Hes a racer and hes still got more in him
yet.
Senior John Hermus added a
second-place finish in the pole
vault with a lifetime best height

of 13 feet, 3 inches. Wilmot

junior Wyatt Heckel won the
event at 13-6.
Just clearing 13 feet was a huge
goal to give Hermus some confidence going into this weekends
state tournament.
Last year I couldnt get opening height, which was 13 feet,
Hermus said. Making 13 feet
tonight, now I know I can get it.
There are so many people at state
and the atmosphere is so great, I
am hoping I could do better than
normal.
After just making the 110 hurdles at state by the skin of his
teeth last year, Hermus (15.28)
finished a hundredth of a second
behind Waterford senior Collin
Chart for the final spot in the 110
hurdle hurdles.
It was a bit of a bummer. I
ran really bad, Hermus said. It

was disappointing, but thats over

now.
Junior Alexander Duff took the
final spot of the 300 hurdles in a
personal best 39.33.
Brennen Deegan stepped in for
Brenen Womack who tweaked
his hamstring and helped seniors
Peter Kissling, Lucas Mathews
and Sromovsky earned the last
spot to state in the 4x100 with a
time of 43.44.
I was great to help my teammates get back to state again,
Deegan said. Its crazy, how
much depth we have in the sprints
this year. If one guy goes down
we have someone to step up and
run just as fast.
It was especially gratifying Lease said after a fall during a relay handoff in the 4x2 at

Oregon boys tennis advanced

its No. 1 and 2 singles and No. 1
doubles team through Thursdays
WIAA Division 1 Madison Memorial sectional meet at Nielsen Tennis
Stadium. The Panthers were unable
to advance back to the state team
tournament, however, settling for
third place with 29 points.
Madison Memorial scored a sectional-best 20 points, but ended the

tournament tied with Madison West

with 32 points after subsectional and
sectional scores were combined.
The Regents, who lost 45 games
overall during the day, edged the
Spartans (57 games lost) for the title
to secure the programs fourth overall appearance in the WIAA team
state tournament, which will be held

Oregon sophomore Calvin
Schneider advanced back to the
individual state tournament June 4-6

with a 6-3, 6-2 victory over Beloit

Memorial junior Drew Collins (1012) in the first round to earn an automatic state-qualifying berth at No. 1
singles.
I knew I had a pretty good shot
to reach state again this year despite
moving up from No. 2 to 1 singles,
Schneider said. I was pretty relaxed
until I lost three games in the first
set.
He was finally able to relax in the
second set after quickly going up 3-0
and rolled from there.

Torhorst
advances to state
ANTHONY IOZZO
Assistant sports editor

Senior Carson Torhorst

believed he would need
to shoot around even par
if he was going to have a
shot at making state for
Oregon High School Tuesday at the WIAA Division
1 Reedsburg sectional at
Reedsburg Country Club.
Torhorst finished the
day with a birdie on hole
nine on a putt about 15
feet from the cup, and he
pumped his fist. That putt
gave him a 72 (even) on
the day, and it was good
enough to be the second
individual qualifier on the
day.
It makes me really
happy to go back to state.
I am going to enjoy it in
my senior year, especially
in this sectional because
there are no guarantees,
Torhorst said. To come
out and shoot a 72, I am
quite happy with myself. I
just have to go out and perform well at state now.
Torhorst is back at state
for the second straight year
now, and those expectations from last season left
him a little disappointed in
some of his earlier rounds
during the year.
But as head coach Bill
Scheer expected, Torhorst
gave his best effort when it
counted.
I am so proud of Carson because I know he
hasnt had the year that he
thought he would have,
Scheer said. He has
played good at times, and
he hasnt played up to his
ability at times, as well.
I kind of thought that he

would peak toward the end

of the year, and he has.
He is very excited, and
I think him having been
there last year at state is
going to lead to a really
good experience for him
this year.
Torhorst wasnt the only
Panther to have success
at sectionals. The team
shot a 317 overall. That
score was only the fifth
best, but it was just nine
strokes away from secondplace Middleton (308) and
13 away from Madison
Memorial (304).
Senior Collin Bundy
finished with an 80, while
junior Brandon Michek
shot an 81. Senior Austin
Busler finished the scoring
with an 84.
We werent that far
away from being able to
go as a team, so I am pretty proud of them, Scheer
said.
And being able to share
the experience of playing
with the team one more
meet was almost better for
Torhorst than his individual success.
It means more to me
that I was with those guys,
and those guys played well
again today, he said.
Despite the season being
over for Bundy and Busler
and Torhorst looking to
medal at state, the future
remains bright for the Oregon golf program.
Scheer said that there
were 10 players that could
have or did play varsity
this season but some never
even cracked the top five.

Betty Jean Pigott

Betty Jean Pigott, age 70,

passed away unexpectedly,
on Monday, June 1, 2015,
after a brief illness.
It is with great sadness
that we share the passing
of a wonderful wife, mom,
grandma, and friend.
Born Dec. 27, 1944 in
Madison, to Sanford Sandy and Elnora Eleanor
(Janke) Wick. Betty spent
her childhood on her parents farm off of Lake Farm
Road in Oregon. She graduated from Oregon High
School in 1965. After high
school, Betty attended and
graduated from UW Platteville with a bachelors
degree in Education in 1967
and went on to UW Madison for her Masters in Education.
Betty married Carl Richard Pigott on June 11, 1966.
She and Carl purchased
their starter home in Madison in 1969 where they
raised their family and Betty tended to her flowers and
garden. Betty taught second grade for a few years
in McFarland, and worked
for the Wisconsin Council
of the Blind, and Trinity
United Methodist Church
on Vilas Ave.
People knew Betty for
her love of gardening, sewing, and helping others. But
her greatest love was for

therapists for their wonderful care and support during

Kassis lifetime.
Kassi is survived by
her parents, Martin and
Martha Long; a brother,
Creighton; younger sister,
Mercedes; maternal grandparents, Erwin Bud and
Joyce Sholts; and paternal

her only grandchild, Katelyn Jean. She loved cuddling on the couch to read
books with Katelyn, taking
her to Bookworm Gardens

49 years, Carl; her two
sons, Andrew (Aida) Pigott of Chicago, Ill., and
Mark (Amy) Pigott and
their daughter Katelyn, of
McFarland; and brother,
David (Jayne) Wick of Oregon.
She was preceded in
death by an infant son, Matthew; and her parents.
A celebration of Bettys
life will be held at Gunderson Oregon Funeral Home,
1150 Park Street, Oregon,
at 4 p.m., on Saturday, June
6, 2015. Private family
interment will be at Roselawn Memorial Park.

service on Saturday.

can get to through my website; theres a link to my

video page that has some
samples. Theres a short film
on the second page of those
samples called Happy Birthday. Thats a film that I did
with some friends of mine
for a timed short-film competition called the 48 Hour
Film Project.
I think its pretty good.
Its about a working-class
clown, and the guy who
plays the clown used to be
the Farm and Fleet spokesperson for our TV spots
before he moved to Texas.
So you might recognize him.

Oregon twice, from 1995 to
2001, and returning in 2006.
He spoke with the Observer by telephone in April
while traveling to Janesville

Farm and Fleet.
OO: Youre on your way
to shooting a commercial
at Farm and Fleet?
RK: Yeah, we have some
people coming in to play
customers, and were doing
like employee-customer
interaction shots. Most of the
Farm and Fleet spots feature
products, price and item.
There will be some customers shopping for lawn and
garden supplies, and then
youll see three products
with sale prices.
Im directing these. We
have a very small crew on
these, usually like 3 or 4
people, but sometimes more
depending on the complexity.
So Im directing these, and
I write some of the Farm and
Fleet spots, although they

Its kind of unusual that I
would be doing that, but they
gave me a shot a few years
back and so far they havent
told me to stop.
OO: This is an interesting line of work. How did
you get into it?
RK: I went to Marquette
to study journalism, because
I was into newspapers and
that was the time of Woodward and Bernstein. I was
the editor of our high school
newspaper at Washington
High School in Two Rivers.
While I was at Marquette
I got a job working for the
university at their in-house

department. We produced

So I learned how to shoot

time we were using tape
and so I had those skills
and decided that I liked that

although I write to this day.
But I decided to go into that

it into a series about the bike

TV had some interest in it. I

OO: Who are your main

contracts with these days?
RK: Lately Ive been
pretty busy working on these
web videos for Subway. Im
actually hired by a production company called PWG.
They produce large corporate conventions, and so
Subway has been a client
of theirs for some time, and
they do Culvers annual convention, and several other
pretty big companies. But
they also do video production for the meetings, and
Ive worked on those over
the years. Like I went out
to State of Washington and
shot apple picking and apple
production because that was
a promotion that Subway
was doing when they were
launching their apple slices.
I went to Kansas and shot
the wheat harvest for a story
about bread. I was in Philadelphia in January shooting
the plant where they slice the
roast beef for Subway.
So those were like meeting videos that Ive worked
on for several years, but
as a result of that work or
through that work, PWG got
a contract to produce these
videos for Subway.com.
And thats what Ive been
working on the last couple of
months, which has been fun.
Ive been traveling to Connecticut; went out there three
times to shoot their employees. One of the videos is on
nutrition so we shot their
corporate dietician. And then
we shot some interviews
with consumers about nutrition and health.
