Teaching the teachers

OSD staff use summers for development

Unified Newspaper Group

Tuesday marked the start of the new

2015-16 school year, and for Oregon
School District educators, that means
time to put some newly learned skills
and methods into action.
Aside from teaching or helping with
summer school, as many teachers and
staff members do, educators have also
been keeping up on their skills with a
variety of courses available both inside
and outside the district.
Some educators choose to take university credits during the summer,
either to put toward a masters degree
or to keep up on their licensure (if they

were hired before 2004), OSD director

of instruction Leslie Bergstrom told
the Observer on Monday. And some,
she said, opt for other learning experiences outside the classroom, all with
aim of using the break for professional development.
The main focus, she said, is finding
opportunities that will help educators
better understand what students need
to succeed. And educators are a great
source of ideas.
We know some of it from teacher
observation, or (a teacher) or principal
will email me, You know, we think
it would be important if we all knew
more about X, or take a look at this
data, Bergstrom said. What do we

need to learn more to better support

students and their learning?

Making the connection

Bergstrom said one of the more
significant changes over the summer was getting feedback about the
districts English-language learners,
some of whom may appear to be more
advanced than they are.
We looked at what was researchbased and best practices for English
learning and supporting them, she
said.
What district officials came up
with is called Sheltered Instructional

Village of Oregon

Residents learn about proposed sign code

Good turnout for
chamber event
Bill Livick
Unified Newspaper Group

Close to 50 people
turned out last week for
the Oregon Area Chamber of Commerces meeting on proposed changes
to the villages sign ordinance.
Village planner Mike
Slavney, of Vandewalle
and Associates, walked
the group through some
of the proposed changes
and then fielded questions
from residents and business owners. He said the
villages sign ordinance
hasnt been updated since
the 1940s and that almost
all of the new signs here
since 2000 will be in compliance with the new code.
We tried to customize the code to what most
businesses are doing,
Slavney said.
The code regulates all
outdoor signs as well as
signs located in businesses that face outward. The
code also covers things
like garage sale and election signs.
Slavney said the code
would allow more types of
signs and would have the
effect of giving the village a more vibrant, modern look that would allow

the business community to

compete better with neighboring communities like
Verona and Fitchburg.
Village officials hope
to have the new ordinance
in place by the end of the
year.
Slavney said one of
the best things about the
new ordinance is that all
the information will be
in one place and easy to
understand because it will
include graphics.
Currently there are
about six places you have
to look to understand the
rules governing signs,
and its difficult even
for a person like me who
does this sort of thing for
a living, Slavney told the
group.
People asked several
questions about the Max
Creek Guns truck thats
parked daily on Park
Street on the villages
south side. Slavney said
any vehicles parked on the
street and moved regularly
would not be subject to
the rule in the ordinance.
He also said open signs
at businesses dont count
as a sign under the ordinance.
Among the changes that
the planner discussed:
In the current ordinance, the sign area
requirement is based on
the width of a building
front and it has nothing to

do with lot size. The new

ordinance will be based
on any side of a building that faces a street or
public parking area. This
means four sides of a
building will be eligible
for signage. Also, the sign
area regulation will be in
proportion to the size of a
building wall or the property lot size. Slavney said
this would create a more
consistent look throughout
the village and a harmonious relation between the
size of the building and
the size of the sign.
Pole signs and projecting signs will not be
permitted under the new
code, Slavney said, but
freestanding signs are permitted. Also permitted are
feather signs and inflatables that are static (but not
inflatables that move).
Construction and
real estate signs will be
allowed to be larger than
under the current code.
One freestanding sign
will be allowed for each
site, regardless of the
number of businesses
There will be a limit of
one sign for each business
on each building faade.
Businesses will be
limited to one pedestrian
sign, which must be located within 10 feet of a customer entrance and directly in front of the business.

A heroic reading effort

More than 1K books
read for summer
library program
Scott De Laruelle
Unified Newspaper Group

This year's summer reading program slogan at the

Oregon Public Library was
"Every Hero Has A Story,
and with the kind of numbers participants racked
up, that was a lot of stories
these past few months.
Youth services librarian Kelly Allen said it was
another great year for
the librarys annual and
popular program. This
year, 1,390 people of all
ages joined up and collectively spent nearly 5,000
reading more than 1,100
books. More than 3,000
people attended various story times, science labs and
special events, like Worm
Race, Superhero Academy,
and LEGO Creations Expo.
The annual end-of-program
party hosted by the Oregon
Pool was also a big hit
among families.
The reading not only
helped the reader, but supported the community. For
every prize level children
and teens reached, library
sponsors donated 10 cents
to the Oregon Food Pantry,
and $325 raised during the
program.
Allen said the LEGO Creations Expo was definitely

a new favorite this year,

with kids bringing in 37
creations to the library for
judging. She said more
than 200 people stopped in
to see the projects during a
two-day showing.
It's a program driven
by the kids, Allen said. I
love their creativity.
She also said the Teen

Half Lock-in co-hosted

with the Youth Center was
a blast, with teens getting
to spend time and be loud
in the library on a Friday
after closing.
We played games, ate
lots of pizza, and just hung

Teachers, staff key to

creating Oregons legacy
A letter to the teachers and support staff of the Oregon School
District:
There is a really
good book that I
read a few years
ago by Geraldine
Brooks called
Year of Wonders; a book about
g r o w t h a n d s e l f Maitzen
discovery set in the
17th century. (2001
international best seller). My past
year as a retired teacher of 25
years, now on the Oregon School
Board, has been a Year of Wonders, in many ways.
But what is a steadfast understanding for me is that you have
the most valuable positions in the
school district, helping and teaching our children and guiding them
through the growth process into
adulthood; intellectually, mentally and socially. You are there
in the classroom everyday, in the
counseling office every day, the
nursing office every day, in the
kitchen everyday, making sure the
building is safe and clean everyday so that our children are ready
to learn and grow, and transporting students to and from school
over the roads of our district.
The children our students
are our legacy. Never doubt for
a moment the importance of this
collaborative community effort.

We are entrusted to this great mission - public education - it is not a

business, you are not widgets and
all children need you. Dont let
the non-educators at the Capitol,
that think they know more than
you get you down. We all know
the truth. The children need your
magic, your endless patience and
your expertise.
We have the four Cs - Competency, Character, Culture and
Community as our school districts motto - but I would like to
add a fifth C - Compassion.
Be compassionate to one another; we all make mistakes and we
are all learning: advocate for
each other, the children and their
families. Help each other in times
of need; do what is right even if
it might be a classic example of
thinking outside the box. Do not
fear when what is being accomplished is for the good and the
right thing to do.
Be strong in knowing that once
again, teaching and being there for
our children in a variety of ways,
is a most honorable way of spending our time as adults.
Thank you all for being here
in our schools with our children
and best wishes for a great school
year.
Gwen Maitzen, a retired teacher
and artist, is a member of the Oregon School Board.

Looking forward to
this year and the future
T

his week was the first official day of school for students in the Oregon School
District. Its a day filled with
excitement, energy, hopes and
dreams, as we welcome students
back for another school year.
In Oregon, we get a head start
on the first day of school with
our August two-day district registration event for all students
and families held at Oregon High
School. It was
only part of
a particularly
busy August for
our district.
On Aug. 12
and 13, we also
held an important two-day
conference to
Busler
review our past,
present and prepare plans for the future of our
students and district. This event,
Visioning Conference 2.0, came
from an idea almost a decade
ago.
At that time, the Oregon school
board and school administrators
planned the conference to engage
school staff and community

members in planning for the

future education of our students.
The school boards Visioning Committee (chaired by Jeff
Ramin) then set the wheels in
motion this past February with
the purpose of continuing the
ongoing staff and community
learning and conversation about
our schools.
At this years conference, we
also increased the number of
conference participants from 90
to over 125. This provided the
opportunity to get more school
staff and community members
involved. One of the most
notable moments was a group of
about a dozen OSD students and
graduates sharing what they value in their learning experiences.
The students were awesome, and
conference participants cheered
them at the conclusion of their
presentation.
We also had the conference
attendees prioritize future ideas
to continue to work on and ideas
to explore as future work. Among
them were expanding our personalized learning initiatives and
business-community partnerships
along with finding more ways

to engage students and working

diligently to make sure that no
students fall through the cracks,
so that everyone receives a topnotch education.
As one conference participant
stated in one of our discussion
sessions, I re-learned just how
positive, forward-thinking, and
committed to putting kids first
the community of Oregon is.
As we begin this school year,
I remain inspired and optimistic
by the work of our students and
school staff. As a community,
you can be just as proud of our
students and school staff as I am.
We have a strong school district and a supportive community.
Working together we will continue to serve the needs of students
and families for years to come.
Please visit one of our schools
or attend a school event and see
us in action as we activity build
Oregons 4Cs Competence,
Character, Culture and Community for the betterment of all!
Dr. Busler is the superintendent in the Oregon School District.

Letter to the editor

Burke: Working for village has been a rewarding challenge

The last 15 months with the
Oregon Police Department have
been the most challenging of my
career. But because of what we
have been able to overcome and
achieve, they have also been my
most rewarding.
The cooperation and support
I have received from both inside
and outside the department has
been unmatched and something I
will never forget.
Friendships have been created
that will last a lifetime. The Village staff, especially Mike Gracz,
and the Board, led by President
Steve Staton, have been an absolute joy to work for and I couldnt
have asked for better bosses. The
Police Commission, led by Maynard Stoehr, has worked with me
to hire four new officers and promote three and has also invested

a lot of time and energy over the

past five months in the process
that led to the hiring of new Chief
Uhl. All of these folks deserve
credit for where the department is
today.
I have worked to establish relationships and create partnerships
within the community. My belief
is that once established, each one
becomes an ongoing advocate for
the department and critical to the
long term success of the department mission.
I would like to thank village
attorneys Matt Dregne and Kyle
Gulya for their wise counsel over
many months and through very
difficult times.
Most of all I want to thank the
members of the Oregon Police
Department who through all
the pain and turmoil never once

lost sight of what the expectations were day in and day out
and have continued to deliver the
kind of service that this community deserves and expects. I have
been honored to know them and
serve as their chief. I wish them
and Chief Uhl all the best going
forward and I know that together
they will achieve great things.
Whatever I contributed to the
village, the village and its citizens gave back to me tenfold.
For that I am eternally grateful.
Thank you Oregon for allowing
me the opportunity to know and
serve you.

Confess Your Sins to Each Other

There is something cathartic about confessing
our sins. The very act of telling others about our
misdeeds and shortcomings seems to relieve much
of the guilt, and we usually get the added benefit of
realizing that we arent alone in our shortcomings.
There is a tendency to think we are the only ones
who have this particular weakness, until we start
talking about it and realize that a lot of our moral
failings are nearly universal. Who has never lied or
taken something which did not belong to them? In
the Epistle of James we are told explicitly to confess
our sins to each other, and this comes in the context
of some general advice about prayer and our duties
to one another. James assures us that the prayer of
the faithful is powerful and says that we should pray
together for the sick and confess our sins to each
other. Just as good medicine heals the body, a good
confession heals the soul.
Christopher Simon, Metro News Service
Therefore confess your sins to each other and
pray for each other so that you may be healed. The
prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.
James 5:16

Pouring it on
Brooklyn veterans memorial construction underway
Scott De Laruelle
Unified Newspaper Group

From Nathaniel Ames

and colonial days to present-day conflicts in the
Middle East, Brooklyn area
veterans have sacrificed
often for their country and
community.
Now, thanks plenty of
ongoing hard work and
persistence, those veterans
are closer to a permanent
memorial to commemorate their service for generations to come. After a
groundbreaking ceremony
Aug. 19 at the site, on Hwy.
92, across from the Fire
Department, work started
on the project Monday, as
concrete foundations were
poured. Its the latest step
in a two-year process thats
been guided by the Brooklyn Area Veterans Memorial Committee.
The project, started in
August of 2013, got a kickstart when the committee
received a donated parcel
of land west of the Brooklyn Town Hall from veteran
Charles Teeter and his wife,
Peggy. The land was deeded to the Town of Brooklyn
with an agreement between

the town and committee

that the town would maintain, conduct grounds-keeping and provide electricity
to the memorial.
The committee has held a
variety of fundraisers since
for the project, estimated
to cost around $75,000.
Including in-kind donations, nearly $55,000 has
been raised to date, with
more fundraisers planned.

Next steps
Committee chairman
Lyle Wanless said it will
take a few months for the
sketching and design work
to be completed, with the
granite for the project is
expected to arrive in January, He said the goal is
for everything to be done
in time to dedicate it on
Memorial Day 2016.
What I am so happy
about is we have members
of our committee that have
vision and commitment to
have a memorial that will
be honorable and flexible,
Wanless wrote in an email
to the Observer. This little
community that corners
three counties will have a
permanent memorial dedicated to honor the men and

women of the Brooklyn

area that went off to serve
this country and defend the
Constitution so we could
have the freedoms we all
enjoy today and a model of
democracy.
Wanless said American
Legion Post 160 has served
as the logistical support
to this project along with
many individuals, industries and governmental
agencies. He credited
committee members for
their hard work, including
coming up with a design
and creating a website,
brooklynareaveterans.org,
to help link the project with
the community.
Basically, you can identify a soldier during a period of conflict and actually
find out their background,
if provided by the family.
Wanless said.

Get involved
The memorial will feature five flagpoles and six
black granite monuments,
with a main entry monument erected on a 60-foot
diameter crown featuring
etchings of combat scenes
as well as those from
Brooklyn during those eras.

Groundbreaking for the Brooklyn Veterans Memorial Park was`` Wednesday, Aug. 19 . Participating
were, from left: Brooklyn Veterans Memorial Park committee members Jim Brown, Howard Williams,
Sharon George, Dannie Leonard, Lyle Wanless, David Pluss (project contractor), Erv Meister and
John Whitman (project electrician); not pictured are committee members Carol Strause and Roseann
Meixelsperger.

The area will feature pavers

to commemorate veterans
that can be purchased.
Committee member
Roseanne Meixelsperger
said more than 60 groups,
businesses or people have
donated to the project

Building a memorial
that reflects our tribute to
veterans and the community
is not cheap, she said. The
committees next fundraiser
for the project is a corn boil
and raffle for a whole hog
and Glock 9 mm handgun

at this weekends Brooklyn

Labor Day Festival.

VETERINARIAN
Q. Why do I need to treat my pets year round with Heartworm preventatives?
A. The incidence of heartworm-positive pets in our own backyard has increased

significantly over the past few years. It used to be found primarily in rehomed animals
coming from southern USA but more and more, we are seeing native Wisconsin animals
testing positive. Several available Heartworm preventive medicines are dually effective
against common GI parasites which is a benefit to your pets and the people they live
with. Animals should be tested annually for heartworms and preventative medication
should be administered monthly.

Q. Why Does Comfort Keepers Support the Walk to End Alzheimers?

A. Comfort Keepers Is a Proud National Team in the Walk to End Alzheimers.

Comfort Keepers offices throughout the country are honored to support the Alzheimers Association through
participation in the 2015 Walk to End Alzheimers. The Walk to End Alzheimers is the nations largest
event (600 walks) to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimers disease care, support, and research. This
year, Comfort Keepers participants from across the United States will participate and be recognized as a
Walk National Team. As a Member National Team, our goal is to raise $50,000 from our walkers during their
fundraising efforts. The walk is scheduled for October 11, 2015 at James Madison Memorial High School on
Madisons west side. Registration starts at 9AM and the walk will commence about 11AM. If you want to

FACHE, CSA
Keepers Team.
Alzheimers disease is a growing epidemic and the nations sixth leading cause of death. In the United States alone, more than 5 million
people are living with the disease. As baby boomers get older, those numbers will rise dramatically. By 2050, as many as 16 million will
have Alzheimers disease. Comfort Keepers participation in this event can help fuel the Alzheimers Associations care, support, and
research initiatives and is crucial to increasing Alzheimers awareness in communities nationwide.

Learning how to care for spinal injuries

On Monday, Aug. 31, the Oregon High School football coaching staff, Oregon EMS, and the schools athletic trainer from
UW Health Sports Medicine conducted a coordinated emergency drill to review the procedure for pre-hospital care of an
athlete with a suspected spinal injury.
This past summer, new recommendations emerged for pre-hospital care of athletes wearing helmet and shoulder pads
who are suspected of having a spine injury. The coordinated drill emphasized the communication protocol as well as
the techniques to spine board an athlete who is wearing a helmet and shoulder pads. This is one of the first coordinated
drills of its type done in this area. Additional drills will be planned for the future.

Senior running back Matt

Yates topped the 100-yard mark
for the second straight week,
scoring three rushing touchdowns
and catching another Friday as
the Oregon football cruised to a
33-12 victory over Portage.
The Panthers raced out to a
27-6 lead at halftime thanks to
touchdown runs of 38 and 47
yards by Yates, who finished the
game with 180 yards and three
touchdowns on 19 carries.
Fellow backfield partner Lucas
Mathews started the scoring with
a 53-yard touchdown run in the
first quarter as Oregon rushed 38
times for 319 yards a 8.4 yards
per carry average against the
Warriors.
Its going to be whoever gets
their chance teams are going
to have to decide what they are
going to try to stop and which
back to stop, head coach Dan
Kissling said. This is a great
problem to have both are good
runners.
For the second straight week
the Panthers had their problems

holding onto the ball, losing two

fumbles.
Against Sauk on our 25 our
defense held them to three points
and against Portage our defense
held them scoreless, Kissling
said. It was a wet night against
Portage and we had to change
our gameplan up a little, but ball
security is an emphasis for our
team.
Quarterback Trent Ricker, who
lost one fumble, was accurate
in the passing game when the
Panthers needed it, completing
71.4 percent of his passes for 56
yards.

Boys cross country

Inexperienced Panthers aim to remain near the top of conference

Waunakee one week later
for sectionals, while the
state meet scheduled for
Halloween at the Ridges
Golf Course in Wisconsin
Rapids.

Jeremy Jones
Sports editor

The Oregon boys cross

country team returns two of
seven varsity runners from
last year.
Seniors Chris Cutter and
Ben Janes return with the
most varsity experience.
Cutter finished 12th overall
at the Badger South Conference meet and 40 th at sectionals last year. He went on
to race to a fifth-place finish at the WIAA Division 1
state track and field meet in
the 800 last spring.
If Cutter can build on that
success, he shouldnt have
any trouble getting back to
the state cross country meet
this October.
Janes also finished last
season with his best race,
taking 45th at sectionals as
Oregons third runner.
Still, someone is going to
need to step up beyond that
if the Panthers hope to contend for the conference title.
Edgewoods Jason Todd
and Nathaniel Langlie will
likely continue to work
together and place high in
the conference, while Cutter
should make strong competition to earn first team allconference honors.
Among the most notable
of the five departures from
last years team are Josh
Christensen, who was the
Panthers top runner all season until sectionals, Ryan
Barry and Ben Vogt. Also
leaving Oregon this season
was Morgan Ballesteros,
whose family moved to Texas. He ran varsity as sophomore last year.

Seniors for the Oregon boys cross country team (front, from left) are: Jonas Temte, Dalton Foor and Chris Cutter; (back) Nate Beauchaine,
Ben Janes, Justin Owen and Jared Powers.

While the Panthers figure

to have four other upperclassmen figuring prominently into the mix, the team
lacks varsity racing experience. Seniors Jonas Temte
and Justin Owen are joined
by juniors Josh Klahn and
Ben Lokuta. Junior Hayden
Storms is a newcomer to the
team, but should also make
an impact this fall.
We lost several varsity

runners from the 2014 season, however we hope to

continue to make an impact
at the top of the conference,
head coach Erik Haakenson
said.
Monroe figures to be
among the favorite teams
to win the conference this
season, returning several
outstanding athletes that are
coached by an outstanding
coaching staff.

Stoughton is also returning many of their key runners and will be looking
to compete with Monroe,
while Oregon looks to continue to make a race for the

Josh worked extremely
hard this summer, running
nearly 300 miles and competing in fun runs across
Wisconsin, Haakenson
said. He definitely was
ready for the first meet of
the year.
Cutter finished 17 seconds back in 44th place,
while Janes (19:03), Lokuta
(19:09) and Temte (19:39)
rounded out the top five in
62nd, 71st and 85th place.
Baraboo senior Joey
Rausch covered the 5k

top honors.
Madison West meanwhile, placed all five of its
varsity scorers in the top
12 for a total of 32 points.
Lakeland (85) and Baraboo

three. Oregon finished ninth
with 270.
The Panthers continue the

While we may have
came up short of a few goals
at the meet, as a team we
look forward to competing

the best in the state will serve her younger

teammates well this year, Debroux said.
Paddock was a second team all-conference athlete in 2012 and part of the Panthers
last state team.
We have a very solid group of senior
leaders with high expectations, Debroux
said. We have several girls that have made
remarkable improvements since last year
and throughout the summer, as well as a
very dedicated group of young freshmen
runners that did a great job of building summer base mileage.
Oregon returns a pair of talented juniors
in Madelynn St. Clair (18th) and Carolyn
Vogt (42nd) and sophomore Taylor Schmidt
(31st) who all had success at conference.
Madelynn and Taylor (along with Maddie) qualified for the WIAA Division I state
track meet last June in the 4x800m run and
that mental toughness and physical training
will most definitely benefit them and thus
our team this fall.
Having talked with several of the seniors
who helped organize and train summer runs,
Debroux said the Panthers could see big seasons from freshmen Kaity Kliminski, Julie
Bull, Lauren Beauchaine and Lexi Karls.
They were most impressive in terms of
consistency of sacrificing sleeping in for a
training run, as well as, their desire to work
hard and improve, Debroux said.
The Panthers last won the conference title
in 2012, something Oregon would like to
change this fall.
Madison Edgewood, led by two-time
defending conference champion Amy Davis,
placed all five of its varsity scores in the top
15 last year to holdoff Stoughton 41-54.
With Davis and several of the Vikings top
runners having graduated the conference
race looks more open than last year.
Madison Edgewood led by senior Estele
Woloszyn and sophomore Maddie McClimon, Monroe and Stoughton enter the season as the Badger South favorites, with Oregon being a potential sleeper.
The Cheesemakers are led by juniors
Ciera Kaderly and Jordan Hirsbrunner and
sophomore Rachel Meier.
Stoughton expects to round out the top
three behind juniors Clea Roe and Aly
Weum.
Fort Atkinson sophomore Arianna Mansavage also figures to be one of the top
returning athletes in the conference.

minutes, 59 seconds for an average 5k time

of 21:48 at the Jamie Block Challenge in
West Bend.
Split into freshman/sophomore and junior/
senior races, team finishes at the meet were
determined based on the cumulative time of
the top five fastest racers from each team.
Hughes led the team in 21:25 good for
32nd place in the upperclassmen race.
Emma is looking very strong in her
workouts and setting a great example to the
younger girls on what it takes to work hard
everyday in practice, she used that confidence from preparing to go after it on race
day, Debroux said.
Underclassmen Bree Bastian (27th) and
Kliminski (30th) finished in the top 30 of
the frosh/soph race in 21:28 and 21:38,
respectively.
Our freshmen class has really worked
hard this summer, participating in all/most
of the team runs. They seem to love working
hard and they all loved the 5K racing distance, Debroux said. Kaity put in over 280
summer miles at a quality pace. Bree and
Kaity worked extremely well throughout the
frosh/soph race.
It was a very inspirational race by all 9
of the those girls (Bree, Kaity, Lauren, Julie
Bull, Sam Kalupa, Natalie Walker, Randi
Selvey, Caitlin Kelly, and Laura Cameron)
that competed.
St. Claire (21:52) and senior Connie Hansen (22:36) placed finished 44th and 54th in
the upperclassmen race.
Paddock and Beauchaine competed, but
did not score.
Oregons JV team finished 10th overall in
2:01.
Our seniors and returning runners have
really set the tone for our teams season
goals, and more importantly, the sacrificing
and preparation necessary to achieve those
goals, Debroux said. It is going to be a
rewarding journey.
Last Saturdays race, as well as all of the
races between now and Conference are for
gaining invaluable experience in racing.We
are fortunate to travel the state and to compete in some of the most competitive invitationals that are out there in preparation for
being the very best at the end of the season
when it counts the most.
One of the Big Eight Conference favorites, Sun Prairie took first place behind the
finishes of seniors McKensey Van Wie
and Katie Hieptas. The Cardinals posted an
average time of 19:20 and a cumulative time
of 1:36.4.
Fellow conference rival Madison West
(1:41.21) and Neenah (1:42.58) rounded out
the top three.

The Oregon High School girls golf

team finished second on Aug. 26 at the
Portage invite at Portage Country Club.
The Panthers shot a 357, finishing 23
strokes behind Verona. Senior Jenny
Johnson took third overall with a 78,
while junior Taylor McCorkle finished
fourth overall with a 79.
Senior Olivia Davis was third on the
team with a 100, and freshman Sydney
McKee also shot a 100 to finish the scoring.
Veronas Bailey Smith was the overall medalist with a 70, while Monona
Groves Mikayla Hauck too second with
a 76.
Monona Grove finished third overall
with a 372.

years as a village employee
and leaves
behind a reput a t i o n a s a Below
meticulous
records keeper
with deep knowledge of Oregons history.
An 72 Oregon High School
alum, Below was married
a year after graduating and
became a street maintenance
laborer in 74. He told the

Observer he never expected to

spend his entire career at the
department, much less serving
as its director of Public Works
since 1993, in addition to
roles as village zoning administrator and cemetery sexton.
I was just looking for an
outside job where I could use
my hands, he said.
With his institutional
knowledge of the village and
its recent history, Below is
the person that others turned
to for answers about local
history. Last year, in an
Observer feature story about
his career with the village,
Below joked about his long
tenure here.
Im what they call a dinosaur something thats been
in one place that many years,
he said with a laugh.
But I enjoy answering peoples questions; I really enjoy
that part of it. Its nice to help
people in the village when they
need an answer and its also

nice for the people who work

for me. I try to share everything I know about the village
to make their jobs easier.
He witnessed the village
grow from around 2,000 residents to nearly 10,000, and
said he has no idea how many
miles of streets have been
added in the past 41 years. The
number of parks also spiked
dramatically during his tenure.
Below said its gratifying to
have been part of the villages
modernization, including the
rebuilding of the downtown
streets and infrastructure in
2007-09.
Village President Steve
Staton last year said Below
would be hard to replace
when he retires.
Staton noted that Below
quietly goes about his job in
a very thorough fashion, and
that hes always respectful and has a good sense of
humor.
You look in Marks office

evicted in March

and see all the things he has as

far as blueprints and developers agreements and plans and
documents, and you see how
on top he is of all that, Staton
added. Mark is a quiet, unassuming person whos very
dedicated to his job and doing
things right. Hes invaluable
to the village.
Below said he plans to do
some traveling in retirement,
along with spending more
time at his familys cottage on
a lake in Waupaca County.
He said hell miss working
with what he called a great
staff in the Public Works
Department and at Village
Hall.
I like working with all the
different people, he told the
Observer. I couldnt even
begin to tell you all the different board members Ive
worked with over the years.
And of course, Ive liked
working with the community.

building since the Thiels
took ownership in May
2014.
DeBrouxs diner,
on the first floor of the
building, was evicted
in March after falling
behind on rent payments. Former owner
Greg DeBroux told the
Observer at that time that
his rent was increased
from $2,450 to $3,450 a
month shortly after the
Thiels took ownership.
The Thiels countered
that the restaurant had
been tagged with repeated food safety violations.
Roughly two months
after DeBrouxs eviction, the space was
filled by Holstein, which
moved from Brooklyn.
The letter states that the
noise unduly disturbs
the restaurant during its
brunch hours and violates the lease terms.

Chisman told the

Observer on Monday
the current lease was
signed in 2012, before
the Thiels took ownership of the restaurant,
and extends to 2017. She
said theyve offered to
move all drum lessons to
Monday, when Holstein
restaurant is closed.
The Thiels own other
buildings on the same
block in downtown
Oregon. The buildings
at 113 and 119 S. Main
St. housed their own
restaurant, Masons on
Main, for about a year,
until it closed last September. It also previously had Mexican restaurant Senor Peppers,
which was forced to
move across the street
after the Thiels refused
to renew the lease. The
Masons location, which
spanned the two buildings, remains vacant.

Rau: 46-year-old hydraulic engineer has lived in Oregon since 2005

Continued from page 1
interview with the Observer
last week.
It talked about outside
activities and clean water
and family and environment
and everything that we took
as important. So when the
time came to look for what
would be my next position,
we decided that we could
open up the possibility of
looking in Madison or the
surrounding area.
Rau said one of the people who interviewed him
for Strand recommended
the Village of Oregon as a
good fit for his family. He
and his wife looked at other
communities but always
returned to Oregon.
He agreed that both the
community and the new job
as Oregons public works
director is just a great,
great fit.

Specializing in water
Rau and his family were
living in Oregon when the
rain event of the century hit
the village in August 2007.
A so-called 100-year storm
dumped a record 8.13 inches
of rain in less than 48 hours
on the village and caused
flooding in several neighborhoods. Six houses on the former Florida Avenue were so

badly flooded that the village

ended up buying the properties and removing the homes,
as well as removing the street
itself and turning the area into
park land.
As a hydraulic engineer,
Rau viewed the event differently than most people.
I actually was driving
home from a friends house
that evening and my wife was
about ready to jump out of the
seat just because she couldnt
see anything, and Im driving along and all I kept thinking was, this is so cool, he
remembered. As an engineer
who deals with stormwater
and things like that, when you
see a large event like that happen its confirming of all the
things you design for.
Wisconsins abundance of
water was actually a positive
draw in Rau deciding to relocate from the arid West to the
Midwest. He explained that
water rights had become such
a contentious and legalistic
issue in Idaho and elsewhere
in the West that it detracted
from his work.
It was not as much what
I would call traditional engineering as fighting over water
issues, he said.
But Raus expertise goes
beyond hydrology. One of the
strengths he brings to the job
is his experience in various

Age: 46
Hometown: Nampa,

Village resident: 2005
Family: Married, spouse
Jill, children, Dan, Hannah,
Abby
Education: Bachelors
degree civil engineering
(1992); Masters degree
civil engineering (1994)
areas of civil engineering, he
said.
Hes specialized in conveyance engineering for
sanitary sewers, pumping stations, rehabilitation of wells,
rehabilitation of sanitary
sewage pumping stations,
and also served as a municipal engineer in the Village of
Bristol I was a municipal
engineer jack of all trades,
he said and as the utility district engineer in the Town of
Salem in the southeastern part
of the state.
Although I kind of specialize in hydraulic engineering, I always made a point of
learning about many different
aspects, whether its roadway
maintenance, roundabout and
roadway design, bike path
designs and layout all those
different things that I figured

in the end would strengthen

me, Rau said.
As an engineer at Strand
Associates, he also had
looked at stormwater matters
in Oregon. He attended a Village Board meeting last week,
where he was introduced as
the new public works director, and later told the Observer he was happy to hear that
the village and the school
district are working on a combined stormwater retention
pond that would be down in
the ice rink area.
Those were some of the
things that we were kicking
around many years ago at
Strand while looking at the
projects down in that area,
he explained. We kept asking what makes most sense
here, and what we came up
with was a regional basin
rather than four or five little
individual basins. So I was
very happy to hear they are
pursuing that concept.

Changing of the guard

Rau said he and Below
would overlap schedules
for the first few days, and had
agreed to meet occasionally
afterward to go through a
laundry list of questions that I
may have.
The move from the private
sector and traditional engineering to the public sector

obviously has unique challenges, Rau observed, but

hes confident that his experience and background is very
well suited for the position.
Oregon is poised for
growth over the years, and
Id say the last 10 years has
been a time for Oregon to
catch up and really take care
of some problems, Rau said.
But looking forward, we will
still have challenges when it
comes to stormwater, and as
development comes in those
challenges will continue. The
stormwater problems never
go away.
Village administrator Mike
Gracz told the Observer the
staff at Village Hall feels
very fortunate to have hired
Rau.
Were excited about having him here, Gracz said.
Obviously were going to
miss Mark dramatically not
just as an employee but as a
person. Hes a great guy.
Gracz noted that with two
new hires at the management level Rau and Chief
of Police Brian Uhl village
administration is experiencing something of a changing
of the guard.
Along with Uhl and Rau,
the village hired Lisa Novinska as a new finance director
in 2012 and Peggy Haag as a
new clerk in 2013.
Since hiring Lisa, weve
gone through quite a few
personnel changes at the
management level, Gracz
acknowledged. It brings new
ideas to the village, which is
always healthy.
For his part, Rau said hes
excited to be taking the new
job for two reasons.
I think my professional
background is a great fit,
but secondly no one has to

convince us how great Oregon is, he said.

Family values
Part of what makes Oregon
special, in Raus opinion, is
its family appeal.
Its a nice small-town feel,
its safe and has great schools
all the things we really
would love to have, and its
proven to be that and more,
he said.
Rau and his wife, Jill, were
junior high school sweethearts and have been married 23 years. They have three
children: Dan, a sophomore
at University of WisconsinPlatteville whos a Chancellors Scholar; Hannah, 17, a
senior at Oregon High School
and captain of the swim team;
and Abby, 13, a student at
Oregon Middle School who
enjoys playing softball and
volleyball and is a Chinese
adoptee that we welcomed
into our family at 14 months,
Rau said.
Also, we just welcomed
a foreign exchange student
on Tuesday for 10 months
from Bolivia, he added. So
we effectively have another
daughter in our house. Shes a
junior this year at OHS.
The family attends Hillcrest
Bible Church, and Jeff and
Jill have volunteered in the
churchs humanitarian and
mission work at an orphanage
in Honduras. Jill has made
two trips to the Central American nation, and Jeff made his
first visit in July.
Really its about building
relationships with these families that turn into long-term
faith-based relationships, he
said. I would call it a lifealtering experience. It has
been and will be an important
part of our familys life.

Obituary
Joyce Francis
Radcliffe

Joyce Francis Radcliffe

Joyce Francis Radcliffe,

age 83, died peacefully on
Aug. 30, 2015, at Agrace
HospiceCare in Fitchburg.
She was born on April
14, 1932, the only child of
Howard A. and Loraine
(Knight) Francis, in Owosso, Mich. Joyce graduated
from Owosso High School,
then came to Wisconsin on
April 27, 1952, and lived
in Stoughton, Janesville
and Black River Falls.
She moved to Madison on
August 13, 1976, and graduated from Madison Area
Technical College in Madison.
Joyce worked at Family Service, Vet Center, and
Dane County Job Service
before retiring. She moved
to Oregon in 2003, and is
a member of Holy Mother
of Consolation Catholic
Church in Oregon.
Joyce is survived by her
11 children, John L. Brayshaw, Jr., Cory H. Brayshaw, Elizabeth J. (Bruce)
Oftedahl, Kathleen H.
(Antonio) Gonzalez, David
R. (Debbie) Radcliffe,
Sarah L. (Michael) Kubitz, Anthony J. Radcliffe,

and Madeleines children:
Adam (Erin) Chisman and
Rachel Chisman.
She is further survived by
many great-grandchildren;
and step great-grandchildren too numerous to name.

child, Joyces greatest wish
in life was to have a large
family and she certainly
succeeded.
Joyce was preceded in
death by her father, Howard Francis and her mother,
Loraine Koss; her former
husbands, John L. Brayshaw, Sr., Harry E. Munro
and Robert W. Radcliffe;
her grandsons, Alexander

Gary Wankerl presiding.
Burial will be at St. Marys
Catholic Cemetery in Oregon.
Memorials may be directed to Holy Mother of Consolation Catholic Church.
The family would like
to thank the staff at Sienna
Crest Assisted Living Facility in Oregon, where Joyce
resided since November of
2012, for their wonderful
care. She truly loved every
one of you.
The family would also
like to thank Dr. Douglas
Davenport of St. Marys
Hospital and Dr. Kim Kinsley and the staff at Agrace
HospiceCare in Fitchburg,

her way, and although she
wasnt with you long, we
know that you will not easily forget her.

Teachers: Focus on student communication
Continued from page 1

Hitting the books

Observation Protocol
(SIOP), which Bergstrom
said is a way to help teachers think really clearly
about what they are communicating to those students, right down to the
words being used. In short,
it makes sure students are
learning the academic
language theyll need to
succeed in school, as well
as the conversational language. This year, so many
teachers signed up for the
course, they could have
filled the class twice, Bergstrom said.
(Academic) takes much
longer to learn, she said.
Even those English-language learners who converse with friends in the
lunchroom, and everything
seems fine, they also need
more support with academic language. It gives the
teacher a sort of framework
to examine their lesson
plans.
Nearly 70 teachers also
took advantage of the districts summer Curriculum
Academy, and 43 teachers
applied for additional hours
to work collaboratively on
curriculum.
Our staff is very committed to ensuring the curriculum we use meets the
needs of all of our learners,
she said. They want it to be
engaging, rigorous, and relevant to the lives of the learners and that means that summer work is a large component of what they do.

Group studies on a variety

of books to help educators
is another popular summer
activity.
In June, the district hosted
a three-day literacy academy, with many OSD teachers or community members
serving as instructors on a
variety of subjects. More
than 50 district educators
attended.
Bergstrom said more than
20 teachers were involved in
a book study on teaching students in poverty, and another
group attended a class on the
Nurtured Heart Approach
to classroom discipline,
which emphasizes positive,
rather than negative behaviors.
People were learning
from one another, and we
invited people from other
school districts, and they
really bring a whole other
layer of depth, she said.
Youre talking to them
about things going on in
Oregon, and they can tell you
things they are doing in their
school district.
Sometimes its contentspecific; sometimes its
things we all have in common as educators. It really
enhances the conversation.
Around 30 teachers participated in a summer book
study on math and encouraging a growth mindset for
students.
We are learning more and
more about the importance
of learners having a growth
mindset, and they won't have
it unless the adults in their

lives are modeling it, Bergstrom said.

The program facilitator,
OHS math teacher Dave
Ebert, said the program
is now in its fourth year
of bringing together K-12
teachers for a weekly email
discussion on books of their
choosing.
We start with some questions to think about on a certain chapter or topic in the
book, and we kind reply back
and forth and share ideas,
he said. We end up using it
sometimes to create lessons,
or sometimes just change
things weve done in the
past; do something different
to hopefully keeping learning
and growing.
Ebert said the summer
break creates more impactful
opportunities for teachers to
reflect on long-term learning
goals, away from the day-today pressures of the school
year.
Once you start the year,
its like, OK, hold your
breath, here we go and see
you in June, he said. Its
just been kind of reinvigorating to have this period of rest
and reflection step away
from what we do, but also
think about what we do and
reflect and work on improving what we do every time.
Ultimately, he said the lessons learned turn into an
ongoing thing and the book
study is getting more and
more popular.
Its really growing and
kind of catching fire, people are already asking what
were going to read next,
Ebert said.

In a time where state

funding cuts for public
schools have cut deep, the
Oregon
Online First
School
Districts
parentConnectOregonWI.com
teacher
organizations (PTO) are finding
ways to raise funds, one
medicine bottle cap at a
time.
Its a program started last September with
Oregon Hometown Pharmacy, and its quite simple for every bottle cap

from medicine collected

that was purchased at the
pharmacy, the pharmacy
donates a dime toward
student programming at
the districts elementary
schools Brooklyn, Prairie View and Netherwood
Knoll. Oregon PTO copresident Donna Fosler
said people can drop off
the caps either at the pharmacy or at the three elementary schools.
We just wanted to give
something back to the
community, said Kim
Schumaker of Oregon
Hometown Pharmacy.
We have a presence in
the community, and helping out the school is a
good way, we thought.
Fosler said the pharmacy has donated more than
$200 to the PTOs since the
program began.

This is a great opportunity that they are giving

our non-profit organization to be able to help our
kids and schools here in
Oregon, she said.
Fosler said the Oregon
and Brooklyn PTOs provide additional funding
to different programs in
the schools that would
not otherwise be in the
school budgets, including
extra money for technology, books, math learning
tools, classroom needs,
and with events for families like the PTO Science
Fair, Art Fair, NINA Fun
Run (sponsoring Neighbors in Need in Oregon)
and Family Fun Night.
