Lady Luck smiles on Weber
Spring election
Seth Jovaag
Unifed Newspaper Group
The dime flipped into the
air, bounced on the tile floor of
Town Hall and landed tails up.
The result: Darryl Weber
will remain chairperson of the
Town of Oregon for another
two-year term.
Monday mornings unusu-
al game of chance decided
the victor of a 456-to-456 tie
between Weber and challenger
Chris Johnson in last Tuesdays
election.
To lose to lady luck was
pretty wild, a disappointed
Johnson said after attending
Mondays coin flip. She added
that she would not ask for a
recount.
The coin toss came after
the towns municipal board of
canvassers comprising three
poll workers opened the final
absentee ballot Monday morn-
ing.
That vote could have been
the tie-breaker. But any sus-
pense there dissolved last week
after the final voter Jennifer
Spear, a history professor in
Canada who is currently living
in New Orleans told Chan-
nel 27 in Madison and later the
Observer that she didnt vote in
that contest because she didnt
have enough information about
either candidate. So before the
final ballot was opened, both
candidates knew the tie would
stand.
Johnson, who gave up her
seat on the board of supervisors
to run for chair, was nervous
before the coin flip and very
disappointed afterward. But
she said her husband cheered
her up a bit by making a good
point.
I didnt lose the election, I
lost the coin toss, she said. I
think that speaks a lot about the
support I had and that makes
me feel good.
Weber, who was unable to
attend the coin flip because of
work obligations, said he was
pleasantly surprised by the
outcome.
I was prepared for it to go
either way, he said by phone
Monday afternoon. I will
continue to work hard for the
township of Oregon.
Town of f i ci al s coul dn t
recall another tie vote in the
towns history.
The town had a total of 74
absentee votes, but only one
had not been received by the
end of last Tuesdays election.
It was mailed in time to beat
the 4 p.m. Friday cut off to be
counted.
The poll workers had the
choice of how to decide the
tie and went with the coin
flip. Johnson, her husband and
a handful of other observers
watched as they assigned sides
of the coins alphabetically

Chamber: Village needs a brand and new logo, but planning still in early stages
Bill livick
Unifed Newspaper Group
The Village Board and the Ore-
gon Area Chamber of Commerce
are teaming up to create a new
logo and brand for the Village
of Oregon.
Chamber director Brett Fra-
zier is spearheading the effort and
said the project is entirely in the
early stages. But the chamber has
discussed the need for a new logo
and a brand for the village for at
least a year, Frazier said.
Were getting ready to do two
more Welcome to the Village
signs and we started to think we
really should have a community
brand that goes on there, Frazier
said. Even if it does have the
chamber brand on there, some-
where there should be something
that is a bit of an identifier for the
village, and we didnt really feel
like we had that.
The village has long used Wis-
consins Horse Capital as its
Spring election
Plan avoids cuts
despite threat of
$1M shortfall
Seth Jovaag
Unifed Newspaper Group
Though big questions remain about
next years budget, the Oregon School
Board on Monday approved a plan that
mostly leaves staff levels intact across
the Oregon School District.
The plan tweaks staffing levels at the
districts six schools based largely on
enrollment projections for 2013-14.
For example, it calls for adding the
equivalent of a full-time teacher at Ore-
gon Middle School for science and social
studies classes because enrollment there
is set to rise by 45 students, according
to documents presented Monday night.
But Rome Corners Intermediate School
wont fill a full-time interim position
because enrollment there is expected to
drop by 48 kids.
Overall, the staffing plan approved
by a 6-0 vote calls for adding the
equivalent of about four full-time posi-
tions and cutting about three-and-a-half.
Board member Pam Hughes was absent.
Winners see a
mandate for change
Seth Jovaag
Unifed Newspaper Group
In the past year, three
incumbents on the Oregon
School Board have been
unseated by challengers call-
ing for change.
Dan Krause doesnt think
thats an accident.
Krause and Rae Vogeler
topped a four-way race for
two seats on the board last
Tuesday. By comfortable
margins, they bested two-
time incumbent Lynda Far-
rar and one-term member
Pam Hughes. (Hughes had

Chamber director elected mayor of Milton
Bill livick
Unifed Newspaper Group
Bret t Frazi er, execu-
tive director of the Oregon
Area Chamber of Com-
merce, was elected mayor
for the City of Milton last
week.
Frazi er was al so re-
elected to the Milton Com-
mon Council, where hes
served two 2-year terms as
an alder. He and the coun-
cil will determine who to
appoint to replace him on
the council.
The mayor is a part-time
position with an annual sal-
ary of $2,200.
F r a z i e r
s ai d s er v-
i n g a s
mayor will
not af f ect
his work in
Oregon.
E v e n
before I got
e l e c t e d, I
told our (chamber) board
that my commitment to the
Oregon Area Chamber of
Commerce and to the vil-
lage and the members that
we work with everyday is
not going to change, he
told the Observer Tues-
day. Ive been joking with
people that man cannot live
on a $2,200 a year may-
oral salary alone. Its an
extraordinarily part-time
position.
Frazier grew up in Mil-
ton, a city of 5,546, and
graduat ed from Mi l t on
High School in 1999.
He defeated a two-term
incumbent mayor, Tom
Chesmore, as well as fel-
low council member Nancy
Lader.
Frazier received a total
of 387 votes compared to
Chesmores 331 votes and
Laders 186 votes, accord-
ing to an article in the Mil-
ton Courier.
As mayor, Frazier will
lead council meetings the
first and third Tuesdays of
each month.
Ive been a pretty active
member of the council for
the four years Ive been
on it, he said. Its just
a slightly different role
now.
Frazier began his posi-
tion with the local chamber
of commerce in February
2011. He said he intends to
continue his work here for
the foreseeable future.
I pl an t o be si t t i ng
here in this office for sev-
eral years to come, he
said. So its the same old
Brett.

Man charged after
tussle with teens
Seth Jovaag
Unifed Newspaper Group
A 49-year-old Oregon
man was arrested last Tues-
day after he allegedly tus-
sled with three teens after
chasing them in his vehicle.
Daniel R. Denomie was
charged Monday in Dane
County Circuit Court with
three misdemeanor counts
of di sor der l y conduct ,
according to online court
records.
The three Oregon High
School students, ages 16,
16 and 17, admitted to yell-
ing at Denomie from their
vehicle as he was taking his
trash out on the 100 block
of East Ri chards Road
around 11:56 a.m., accord-
ing to a release from the
Oregon Police Department.
Denomie then got in his
vehicle and chased them.
The students said they saw
Denomie run a stop sign
and nearly cause an acci-
dent, the release said.
The students pulled their
vehicle into a driveway on
the 500 block of Orchard
Drive, intending to back out
again and park on the street,
but Denomie blocked their
exit with his vehicle, the
release said.
Denomi e t hen al l eg-
edly pulled a hammer from
his trunk, approached the
teens vehicle and threw a
soda through their window
while yelling obscenities,
police said.
One of the students got
out of their vehicle, and
Denomie allegedly grabbed
him by the sweatshirt and
raised the hammer as if to
hit him. Another student
then got out and confronted
Denomie, who punched him
in the face before returning
to his own vehicle and driv-
ing away, the release said.
The s t udent s cal l ed
police, who later reached
Denomie by phone. During
an interview with police, he
allegedly confessed to get-
ting angry when the teens
yelled at him before chas-
ing and confronting them,
the release said.
Local police initially rec-
ommended more severe
charges of battery, a felony,
and three counts of disor-
derly conduct while armed.
He was also cited for reck-
less driving.
Denomie was released on
a $500 signature bond and
is scheduled for a pre-trial
hearing May 7, online court
records said.

Board members reiter-
ated Monday a goal of
maintaining staffing levels,
class sizes and program-
ming as much as possible
for 2013-14.
However, the boards
vote did not include filling
nearly four more positions
that building principals
asked for, ranging from
extra physical education/
health teachers at Oregon
High School to increasing
staff time for employees
who deal with students
ment al heal t h or al co-
hol and other drug abuse
issues.
Those additions might
have been no brainers in
previous years, said board
member Steve Zach. But
not this year.
Thats because the dis-
t ri ct i s st ari ng down a
potential budget shortfall
in 2013-14 that could top
$1 million.
State lawmakers are still
wrangling over Gov. Scott
Walkers proposed two-
year state budget that could
freeze spending limits for
school districts. If spend-
ing limits are increased
as many have called for
Oregons shortfall could
go down.
The di s t r i ct i s al s o
sear chi ng f or ways t o
reduce a possible 16 per-
cent increase in health
insurance costs that could
dr i ve up expenses by
$850,000 next year, busi-
ness manager Andy Wei-
land estimated. In addition,
raising staff salaries by just
2 percent next year could
tack on another half-mil-
lion dollars in new expens-
es.
Besides helping officials
put together a preliminary
budget, the approved staff-
ing plan allows the district
to issue contracts within
a week or so to teachers
and certain other support
staff for 2013-14. Those
contracts would need to be
returned by June 15.
Those contracts reserve
the districts right to issue
layoffs by June 17 if bud-
get shortfalls persist, but
officials called that a last
resort.
Other cuts or additions
proposed under the plan
include:
adding a fourth grade
teacher at Brooklyn Ele-
mentary School due to a
large incoming class
reducing a half-time
Fami l y and Consumer
Education position at OHS
due to low numbers of
student requests for those
classes
shedding an OHS spe-
cial education position and
an early-childhood posi-
tions while adding less
than one full-time staff
equivalent for occupational
and physical therapy assis-
tants
addi ng a hal f-t i me
information technology
literacy teacher for grades
K-6
adding at least a half-
time position for a mentor
to help guide new teachers.
While the staffing plan
is a critical element in pre-
paring next years budget,
the district still has a lot
of work to do before the
job is done, Zach said.
Boa r d me mbe r Le e
Christensen noted that he
reluctantly voted for a bud-
get last year that includ-
ed dipping into district
reserve funds to cover a
shortfall. He said thats not
a good long-term plan.
Doing the same old,
same old in this budget-
ary environment just isnt
going to cut it, he said.
In other news

approved:

ing from the Wisconsin

Opinion
If you came across two people
about to engage in a fistfight, would
it better to urge calm and get them to
discuss their differences, or would it
better to give them weapons and let
them fight to the finish?
Obviously, it helps to know the
cause of the argument, but common
sense ought to tell us that the best
call would be to encourage discus-
sion and begin the process of finding
a solution to their disagreement
not inflaming the situation.
That, I think,
is the essence of
the problem we
face with school
shootings. Do
we weaponize
schools by intro-
ducing armed
volunteer guards
and teachers in
the halls and
classrooms (and
further provoke
those who would attack them), as
the NRA and others advocate? Or
do we try to understand the causes of
violence in order to ratchet it down,
while taking practical steps to main-
tain better control over our national
arsenal?
School shootings are a particular
type of violence. Because they are
shocking, and because they are
prominent in the media, people
could mistakenly believe that mass
shootings were part of a general
increase in violent crime, but theyre
not: The overall violent crime rate
has been falling for a number of
years.
One of the reasons people offer
for owning guns is to provide for
personal and family safety. A recent
survey by the Pew Foundation found
that approximately 48 percent of gun
owners bought them for personal
protection. And 57 percent of survey
respondents believe that guns protect
citizens from tyrannical govern-
ments.
I can understand why people want
guns. I spent my early adult years in
the Southwest, where gun ownership
is common, and I learned to appreci-
ate the role guns play there, espe-
cially in rural areas, where police
protection is not always available
and social life is even now much less
settled that it is here. I accept that
guns have a role to play in personal
security, despite the fact that I have
been threatened by guns several
times, and was actually shot at by a
careless target shooter in the desert
near El Paso.
Few gun owners ever become
mass killers, of course, but I wonder
whether the fears of governmen-
tal tyranny (as evidenced by the
almost panicky purchase of guns
and ammunition around the nation)
is fueling an unhealthy, generalized
anger at authority, one that includes
our schools.
Psychologists can identify some
of the characteristics that seem com-
mon to mass murderers, who seem
not to have political motives for their
actions. Studies suggest that such
people lack in empathy for others.
They are isolated; they lack a basic
understanding or respect for the
rights of others.
Unfortunately, as their anger
becomes more focused, vulnerable
institutions schools, movie the-
aters, etc. make inviting targets.
Their actions help fuel the current
angry debate between the traditional
rights of gun-owning citizens and
those who fear that mass violence
might take on a political dimension,
with even worse consequences.
It seems possible that there is a
connection between mass shootings
and the larger culture that encour-
ages all of us to focus on ourselves
and our own needs.
Americans are encouraged to
gratify their own personal needs
constantly through advertising. We
encourage children to achieve their
ambitions, often without remind-
ing them that success cannot come
entirely at the expense of others. Its
not too far a stretch to see how nar-
cissism might lead poorly socialized
people to kill for pleasure.
I try to imagine how the routine
presence of guns in Oregons class-
rooms could help students and their
view of school, but other than
equalizing the firepower in an attack
there dont seem to be any benefits
to public education. If schools can
only function under the protection of
armed guards and armed teachers,
arent we ratcheting up the stakes
and inviting more violence?
It seems the presence of weapons
will make schools even more of a
target, as confused and unbalanced
people are encouraged to use vio-
lence against the schools occupants.
Schools will become fortresses,
and weapons will tell students that
theres a real potential cost death
to receiving a public education. Is
this truly how we want to live?
Many Americans see attempts to
regulate gun ownership as a Europe-
an-style effort to limit citizens rights
to protect themselves from crime and
tyrannical governments. Whatever
the purpose of European-style gun
control may be, there does seem to
be a real connection between the rate
of gun ownership and the homicide
rate.
There is no U.S. law that requires
citizens to report all private acquisi-
tions, possession or transfer of weap-
ons, but according to Gunpolicy.
org, there is in Germany and other
western European nations.
In the United States, 67.5 percent
of homicides are caused by firearms.
In Germany, where even private
sales of guns must be recorded, 26.3
percent of murders are by firearms.
In the United States, the 2010
homicide rate by firearms was 3.2
per 100,000, while in Germany the
comparable rate was 0.2 per 100,000
or 1/16th of our rate, according to
the U.N. Office on Drugs and Crime.
Arming teachers or guards in
schools may prevent specific inci-
dents from occurring, but might also
cause long-term harm to education.
The European numbers suggest that
more detailed ownership documen-
tation, combined with background
checks on prospective gun buyers,
might work to reduce the level of
violence, even if the specific causes
of school shootings are hard to
address.
Imposing stricter registration
requirements and keeping potential
mass murderers away from guns will
be difficult for political and societal
reasons. But if we hope to bring kill-
ings under control without resorting
to tyrannical government, we have
to recognize that the roots of these
terrible events lie in deeper social
conditions.
Mass shootings may continue long
into the future perhaps until we
decide to change the way we think
about the needs of others.

Letters to the editor
Thanks for supporting the Oregon
Youth Basketball League food drive
The Oregon Youth Basketball
League (OYBL) Food Drive held
earlier this year is a great example
of community service.
On behalf of the Oregon/Brook-
lyn Food Pantry Committee and
the families it serves, I am writ-
ing to acknowledge the generous
donations of nonperishable food
items and money collected during
this event.
Through coordination of volun-
teers at the Pantry and at OYBL,
we were able to fill your Pantrys
shelves and provide healthy, nutri-
tious meals for our neighbors. In
particular, thank you to the leaders
of the basketball league for their
efforts in continuing to lead the
Food Pantry donation project. We
also want to recognize the support
of the OYBL Directors.
We would not have been able to
manage the deluge of donations
without the hard work of the tour-
naments high school student vol-
unteers who not only helped sort
the donated food but also distrib-
uted the prizes.
We are also grateful for sup-
port from community business-
es donating to the OYBL Food
Drive.
We sincerely appreciate the
involvement of OYBL coaches,
players and parents in providing
donations to our pantry and are
proud for the opportunity to share
this example of the community
support we have in Oregon.
A complete list of those who
helped with this project can be
found at OBFP.org.
Sincere thanks to all involved!

The Human Condition
The Bible provides us with many good examples of humanity.
Adam, Moses, and Jesus are archetypes of humanity. But, it is
also true that being human is radically different now than it was
in Biblical times. Culture and technology have changed us to such
an extent that being human in the modern world is fundamentally
different than it was in the ancient world, or even a few hundred
years ago. Our species may not have changed much in terms of
biology, but in terms of psychology and culture, the differences
are vast. This goes beyond such superficial questions as whether
Jesus would have a Twitter account or a Facebook page were he
alive today. Part of what defines us as human is that we are cultural
beings. That is, we grow up within a culture and that particular cul-
ture is grafted onto us. This is one of the reasons why the humani-
ties are important as an area of study. They help us to understand
what it is to be human. Works of fiction are sometimes denigrated
by those with a practical bent, but good fiction is often an explora-
tion of what it is like to be a human being. Humanity is constantly
reinventing itself, all the while questioning the implications of that
reinvention. One reason to study the Bible is because it gives a
number of very deep answers to the question of what it means to
be human.
No one can comprehend what goes on under the sun. Despite
all their efforts to search it out, no one can discover its meaning.
Even if the wise claim they know, they cannot really comprehend
it.

Business
Villages only Mexican restaurant reopens
Bill livick
Unifed Newspaper Group
After opening in February 2006,
Seor Peppers Mexican Restaurant
established itself as one of the vil-
lages favorite places to dine.
Customers may have been con-
cerned when owner Maggie Rich-
ter was not able to renew a build-
ing lease and in late January had to
vacate the restaurants original site
on South Main Street in downtown
Oregon.
But Richter said having to move
just across the street to the historic
Netherwood Building and build a
new restaurant turned out to be a
good thing.
The restaurant reopened two
weeks ago. Richter and general
manager Jorge Sanchez (her son)
report that business has been very
good.
The attractive new space features
exposed brick walls in two dining
rooms, as well as the buildings
original hardwood floor.
Building owner Paul Lynch has
been restoring the late-1800s struc-
ture for a few years, and the new
restaurant was built from scratch.
It features large storefront win-
dows overlooking the World War
I monument in the heart of the vil-
lage. In front is an elevated patio
area, where five tables await cus-
tomers and warmer temperatures.
Inside, the restaurant has some
beautiful canvas murals of Mexico
painted by a Chicago-based artist,
and everything is new and shiny,
with seating for 68.
The in-house sound system is
sometimes turned up too loud, but
the food at Seor Peppers is the
same tasty fare that has drawn cus-
tomers from throughout the area.
Richter said the menu has not
changed, although there will be
some new items appearing over
time.
These are family recipes, most-
ly my grandmothers recipes that I
brought from Mexico, she said.
Richter came to the United
States in 2000 and has been in the
Oregon area since opening Seor
Peppers six years later. Initially,
she not only managed the business
but was also the executive chef.
She taught current executive chef
Alonzo Amaya how to cook her
recipes, and hes been training the
staff.
Regarding the staff, there is
more of it now, which translates
into faster service and more satis-
fied customers, Richter said.
We now have 11 employees,
and having more staff makes cus-
tomers happy because there is bet-
ter service, she said.
We have two servers for lunch
so people can get in and out fast-
er, added Sanchez. And we have
three wait staff, two busboys and a
hostess for dinner.
The food is generally out of the
kitchen in 20 minutes or less, San-
chez said, and everything is made
to order.
Everything is cooked fresh,
so it takes a little more time, he
explained. We dont prepare any
food ahead of time.
Seor Peppers serves margaritas
by the glass or pitcher, frozen or on
the rocks, along with bottled beer,
wine and mixed drinks.
It also offers an extensive menu
at affordable prices, including all
the standard fare familiar to most
American diners: enchiladas, faji-
tas, chimichangas, quesadillas,
burritos, tacos and several house
specialties featuring seafood, steak
and combination platters.
Richter said there are a few new
items shes proud to offer, includ-
ing the burrito Mexicano: a big
flour tortilla filled with rice, beans,
ground beef or chicken, lettuce,
tomato and cheese, topped with
sour cream, green sauce and red
spice sauce, for $8.50.
Its the colors of the Mexican
flag green, white and red, Rich-
ter said. Our red sauce and green
sauce are homemade. We literally
roast the peppers, add the spices
and make it all by hand.
Richter said shes thankful to
her customers for waiting and then
returning to Seor Peppers.
We still have great food, great
service and good margaritas, she
said. The only thing that changes on
the menu will be the new specials.

brand, but Frazier thinks
that might have become
dated. He hopes to form a
committee to look into the
matter and come up with
some fresh ideas.
Village officials have
talked about doing a differ-
ent logo for a while, Frazier
said. The City of Fitchburg
recently wrapped up an
extensive effort to create a
new logo and brand, which
got Frazier thinking about
how to get the community
involved and not just devel-
op a logo, but also a com-
munity brand and a brand-
ing strategy of how were
going to promote and imple-
ment that brand, he said.
My ultimate goal would
be that this process would
culminate in the identifica-
tion of a logo and a tagline,
but more than that an identi-
fication of how we represent
ourselves both internally and
also to folks who are visit-
ing and may not be familiar
with the village, Frazier
explained. Itll be a little bit
of a process, but I think the
outcome will be worth it.
He said discussions with
village officials have been
only preliminary at this
point, and the Village Board
has signed on to the idea but
not dedicated any money yet
to the effort.
Frazier thinks the first step
will be to form a committee
that will seek to chart a way
forward, possibly using a
communitywide survey to
gauge peoples feelings on
the subject.
After that, well want
to get someone to come in
whos objective, Frazier
said. Probably some kind of
marketing consultant whos
familiar with the process of
community branding and
can help us through a discov-
ery process that will help us
identify what we think inter-
nally that Oregon is, but also
equally important to deter-
mine what is Oregons cur-
rent brand.
He said ideally, the vil-
lages logo and brand would
be something that people on
the street are familiar with.
You know, when they
see the logo they recognize
it; when they hear the tagline
theyre proud of it, Frazier
said. And it could be almost
a formalization of the things
that were already prideful
about as a community, such
as nice residential neigh-
borhoods, parks and a great
school system.
He has not sure what the
village might spend on such
a project, but it doesnt have
to be as costly as Fitchburgs
effort, he said.
Were going to fit things
into the means we have here
and were going to do some-
thing that is specific and
makes sense for Oregon,
Frazier said.

Connor said Stoughton

look to be the best teams in

Experience returns to mound
Conference repeat in sights
Anthony Iozzo
Assistant sports editor
Oregon girls soccer Julie
Grutzner told the Panthers to
remember how it felt after
they dropped a WIAA
Division 1 regional final
game against eventual
state champion Madison
West.
She said to come back
the following season and
get better and to finally win
that regional title and possibly go
further.
That time is now for the Panthers,
which finished 14-4-1 overall and a
flawless 6-0 en route to the Badger
South Conference title.
Oregon returns 18 players and 10
starters from last season, with 12 of
them being seniors.
Grutzner said those girls are ready
to defend the conference title this
season.
We will be adding more speed
with the addition of a handful of
new players, she said. We remain
solid in all areas and will continue
to work on our overall attacking
game.
The good news is that
the Panthers have four
of their top five scorers
returning, as well as,
starting goalie and most
of the defense.
Senior forward Lauren
Hughes, senior defend-
er Kayla Kaeppler, senior
defender Kara Jahn and sophomore
midfielder Kelsey Jahn, all first-
team all-conference selections, look
to lead the team again this year.
Hughes (12 goals, five assists)
and Kelsey Jahn (six goals, six
assists) are joined by senior mid-
fielder Aimee Urben (nine goals,
two assists) and senior Annie
Zavoral (four goals, three assists) on
the offensive attack.
Senior midfielder Jenny Deegan
and senior goalie Brit Peckham,
both second-team all-conference
selections, add the finishing touches
on the field. Peckham had an .890
save percentage last season.
The other seniors are midfielder
Sarah Jacobs; defenders Kelsey
Beyler, Sidney Peach and Erica
Petersen; and forward Hayley
Engelhart.
The other returning letterwinners
are junior forward Hailie Schnabel,
junior midfielder Dani Ironmonger,
junior midfielder Eliza Neidhart,
junior defender Jess Kutz, junior
defender Lara Franksen junior mid-
fielder Megan Lowe, sophomore
midfielder Paityn Fleming and soph-
omore defender Brenna Petersen.
The three newcomers are fresh-
men midfielders Taylor Martin and
Jess Jacobs and forward Jen Brien.
Conference outlook
The Panthers were champions last
year, but Grutzner said other teams
have improved in the conference as
well.
She said Oregon is a strong con-
tender, but Madison Edgewood and
Monona Grove will get better as the
season progresses.
Some key games this season are:
at Middleton (7 p.m. April 15), vs.
Monona Grove ( 7 p.m. April 25),
at Verona (5 p.m. May 7), vs. Madi-
son Edgewood (7 p.m. May 13), vs.
Waunakee (7 p.m. May 17) and vs.
Madison West (7 p.m. May 21).

Unifed Newspaper Group
Oregon girls softball head
coach Michael Derrick is
anxious to get back on the
diamond this spring follow-
ing a delay due to unseason-
able cool weather.
The Panthers enter 2013
as a young, inexperi-
enced group led by
a few veterans that
will take the field
for t he second
year coach once
weather turns.
The Panthers (9-13
overall, 4-8 Badger South
Conference) return only
three starters.
Were going to be very
young, Derrick said. Were
just going to be trying to play
our best people wherever we
can.
The Pant hers wi l l be
anchored on the field by two
senior co-captains in the bat-
tery pitcher Hailey Morey
and catcher Alyssa Damon
as well as junior outfielder
Dani Moore, the only non-
senior elected captain by her
teammates.
A fourth captain, senior
Alexa Nelson, will provide
leadership off the field. Nel-
son, a three-year starter and
two-time unanimous selec-
tion to the all-conference
first team, will miss the
season after tearing her
ACL and MCL play-
ing basketball earlier
this year. Nelson led
the conference in bat-
ting average a year
ago and also paced the
team in home runs and
RBI.
She has been a strong vet-
eran presence despite the
injury, leading the teams
winter open gyms and help-
ing out at practices.
Shes been like an extra
coach, Derrick said of Nel-
son. Im a big believer that
sports teaches life lessons,
and shes not quitting. Shes
still showing that shes part
of the team. Our motto this
year is life is 10 percent what
happens to you and 90 per-
cent how you respond to it.
Outside of the captains,
the Panthers also have a pair
of infielders returning in
junior Sophia Knaack and
sophomore Jasmine England
who will be looked at to fill
larger roles this season. Eng-
lands debut will be delayed,
however, as she continues
to work her way back from
knee surgery that ended her
freshman campaign.
Derrick said he has a small
but talented group of fresh-
men competing to fill the
other spots in the starting
lineup, but with that inex-
perience comes concern for
Derrick.
The hardest thing this
year with all the inexperience
and young kids is being con-
sistent, Derrick said.
With the loss of Nelsons
bat, it will be difficult for
Oregon to break into the
upper echelon of the con-
ference. Fort Atkinson and
Monroe have finished first
and second in the confer-
ence for three straight years,
and will likely be formidable
again. Derrick, however,
isnt focused on that just yet.
He said the team is just
focused on winning more
games than last season.
We r e goi ng t o be
extremely young but I think
were going to be competi-
tive, Derrick said. I think
were going to surprise some
people.

With many of the Oregon boys
track and field teams youngest
returners competing well into
the postseason last year, first-
year Panthers head coach Ned
Lease couldnt be happier to
get the season started.
That experience a year
ago has fueled the goal setting
and work ethic of this team for this
season, Lease said.
Though Oregon didnt advance
anyone on to the WIAA Division 1
state track meet at UW-La Crosses
Veterans Memorial Stadium, the
Panthers have plenty of reason to be
optimistic.
Sophomore Josh Sromovsky
leads a talented group of return-
ing sprinters/jumpers that includes
sophomores Brennen Deegan,
Lucas Knipfer and junior Jawon
Turner.
With Sromovsky and junior Joe
Milz, the Panthers also return half of
their 4x400 sectional relay team.
Fellow sectional qualifier senior
high jumper Graham Otis is a very
mature athlete and leader, as is Jeff
Jaeggi, a sectional qualifier in the
1,600, Lease said.
Sophomore Christian Alcala and
Brock Buckner are explosive ath-
letes who should help Oregon out in
both the hurdles and sprints, while
senior Cordell Weber and juniors
Jack Mares both worked hard in the
offseason and will lead the team in
the throwing events.
Sophomore Josh Christian-
sen adds some much needed
depth in anything from the
800 to the 3200.
Lease said that while he
inherits a very young team,
Oregon should also be very
talented.
There are also some key upper-
classmen that are holding them-
selves to a high level of expecta-
tions, along with taking over the
reins of leadership, Lease said.
This year also promises to show-
case some of the freshman talent
both on the track and in the field.
Oregon, which only had one full-
team indoor meet this season (Nel-
son-Daniels Invite at UW-Whitewa-
ter), has seen mixed results so far.
The Nelson Daniels is always
a competitive meet at a beautiful
venue, Lease said. It draws teams
form all over the area and gives
many athletes a chance to establish
themselves early on as a post season
contender. For some elite athletes,
its their only opportunity to mix
it up with elite competition before
their states prospective postsea-
son.
The meet gave the Panthers a taste
of what some individuals can do, but
moreover indicated that we have a
versatile and deep team to work with
this season, starting with the Badger
South Conference, Lease said.
Thi s year promi ses t o be
competitive throughout the very
strong conference.
The perennial powers (Monroe
and Monona Grove) will undoubted-
ly leave their mark, but the Panthers
look to stand up and be recognized
as a force to be reckoned with,
Lease said. Im excited to shed
the blanket of winter and see what
these young men can do. Hopefully
that means fun in the sun at UW-La
Crosse come June.

qualifiers. Jones and Steinberg also give
the Panthers two of the top high jumpers in
the conference, easily able to clear 5 feet.
Jones, Steinberg and junior Jamie Wood
give Oregon three-fourths of last seasons
19th place 4x400 relay, while Cara Knip-
fer graduated. Wood returns following a
17th-place finish in the 400-meter dash.
Senior Maranda Ricker, along with
Jones and Steinberg, helped the Oregon
girls cross country team run to the state
cross country meet last fall. The trio has
reached the state track and field meet the
past two seasons, including last seasons
21st-place 4x8 relay which only graduates
Mackenzie Wilkinson (now running at
UW-River Falls).
Still, this years girls team is a unique
mix of returning veterans and brand new
high school track athletes, Mentink said,
with 21 freshman and four newcomers.
Senior Lydia Russell was an alternate
for state in the 800 and took fifth in the
1600 at regionals. Fellow senior Brooke
Debroux finished sixth in the 3200 at
regionals.
Junior Ruby Carpenter was a 4x400
alternate, following her fifth-place finish
in the 100-meter hurdles at regionals. She
is also the teams top 300 hurdler and pole
vault.
Many of those ladies will be perform-
ing in a big way once we get to the con-
ference and the regional meets in May,
Mentink said. In this early part of the sea-
son, we will be learning many things as a
team and as individuals, especially how to
work hard and how to compete well.
The Badger South Conference will be
anything but easy to take this again this
season. Stoughton has been strong for the
past couple of seasons, winning back-to-
back titles and figure to be so again this
year, while Fort Atkinson could be com-
petitive as well.
The Panthers open the dual meet season
at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 16 at Milton.
Stoughton comes to town for a big meet

ed about last year, we are
still in our building process
looking at 2014 as a big

the most talented group of
players to have ever played
in Oregon, Cowan said.

and will have leadership
opportunities, Cowan said.
The other two returners
are sophomores Tyler Hake
and Collin Bundy. Austin
Busler is a third sophomore
joining the team this year.
We are going to be
extremely young, which
i s great , Cowan sai d.
Torhorst is the returning
No. 1 player from our var-
sity team last year, and I
know he has worked really
hard over the last summer
and even into this winter
working on his game.
With cold temperatures
and snow on the ground in
to April, the full starting
team wasnt chosen yet.
But Cowan said he expects
Bundy and Eyers to crack
the starting five, while
Hake is on the bubble to be
No. 5.
Oregon did lose four let-
terwinners from last season,
making the starting lineup
very new besides Torhorst.
Alec Coleman, who grad-
uated, was the lone Panther
to make sectionals last sea-
son.
Conference outlook
Cowan doesnt expect to
win conference this season,
but he said the team should
place higher than fifth.
Torhorst is expected to
contend for all-conference
honors this season.
He is popping out of his
shell, so it will be interest-
ing to see what he can do,
Cowan said.
Stoughton and Madison
Edgewood are expected
to be battling for the top
spot.
Stoughton is led by
senior Henry Klong-
land, who finished
tied for second at state last
season, and Edgewood
i s paced by j uni or
Johnny Decker, who
tied for first in the D2

Last season, the Oregon
boys tennis team had talent
but not much experience.
A year later the Panthers,
who finished 7-2 in the Bad-
ger South Conference (10-6
overall), are hoping the expe-
rience of their 10 returning
letterwinners will help carry
the team to new heights.
While conference champi-
on Madison Edgewood once
again figures to be the team to
beat in the Badger South, the
Panthers are hoping to chal-
lenge them for the top spot.
The Cr usader s, who
advanced all the way to
the state team tournament,
graduated seven state quali-
fiers from a year ago, includ-
ing eventually doubles state
champions Ben Winding
and Tyler Piddington, No. 1
singles player Patrick Carney,
Zach Munns and five of six
state qualifiers at doubles.
Edgewood, however ,
should be able to reload
behind the talents of returning
state qualifier Billy OBrien,
a sophomore singles player,
and Patrick McKenna, who
along with Barney went 24-3
last season.
Oregons ability to contend
for a conference title this sea-
son will start with its singles
lineup where the Panthers
return all four starters, who
advanced into the conference
semifinal round last year.
All four enter this season
with a chip on their shoul-
der in the hopes of finally
knocking off the Crusaders.
Junior Jackson Schneider
returns at No. 1 singles after
going 16-7 last season. His
only loss at conference a year
ago came against eventu-
ally champion Calvin Clarke
of Waunakee. Clarke is also
back as a senior this season.
Onesti, who posted a 14-8
record throughout the regu-
lar season at No. 2 singles,
entered the conference tour-
nament seeded fourth overall.
After flying through his first
two rounds at conference he
settled for fourth.
Senior No. 3 singles player
Brian Johnson (14-4) also fin-
ished fourth a year ago at the
Badger Conference tourna-
ment.
The Panthers top-seeded
player at conference, Dakota
Tollakson (18-3) reached the
semifinal round at No. 4 sin-
gles where he fell to another
Warrior in Waunakees Jacob
Yaeger.
Seniors Alexander Nasser-
jah and Nick Hepner fin-
ished 6-10 at 1 doubles, while
senior Adam Bessemer and
Brady Behrend ended the sea-
son with a 5-2 record.
Though Bessemer and Beh-
rend earned a No. 2 seed, they
ended up finishing fourth.
Junior Dan Griffith finished
1-3 at No. 3 doubles, playing
with Kyle Wood, who gradu-
ated following last season.
Oregon will open the sea-
son by experimenting a little
with its lineup head coach
Ben Conklin said. Behind
Schneider and Onesti, Tollak-
son figures to step up to No.
3 singles, while Behrend
rounds out the singles
flights.
Johnson, mean-
while, will start the
season out by joining
Nasserjah at 1 doubles,
while Hepner and Bessemer
open the year at No. 2 dou-
bles. Though Griffith returns
at No. 3 doubles, he is locked
in a battle with Jackson Wil-
helm, Drew Christofferson
and Mike Kundert at the
moment.
Though Oregon had a good
showing at conference, finish-
ing second to Madison Edge-
wood, the Panthers didnt get
anyone through the first round
of a stacked subsectional
against the likes of Madison
West, Waunakee, Middleton
and Verona last season.
The Panthers lost Middle-
ton and Waunakee from their
subsectional and sectional,
but kept Verona and Madison
West.
Only Onesti and Tollakson
won first-round wins at sub-
sectionals, while Schneider
and Johnson both dropped
tough three-set losses.

Panthers score
shutout against
Spartans
Anthony Iozzo
Assistant sports editor
Wintry condi-
tions finally gave
way last Friday in
time to allow the
Oregon girls soc-
cer team to play
its home opener
against Madison
Memorial.
Despite not hav-
ing a scrimmage or
much practice outside, the Panthers
were able to shut down the Spartan
offense and came away with a 1-0
win.
Senior defender Kara Jahn picked
up Oregons (1-0) first goal of the
season in the 24th minute of the first
half.
Head coach Julie Grutzner said
the game felt more like a scrimmage
because the Panthers had only been
outside once, while Memorial was
outside for the first time.
But Grutzner was still impressed
in the first 20 minutes.
We really knocked the ball
around, she said. We controlled
the pace of the game. ... We kept
pressuring and kept pressuring.
The defense did the rest, hold-
ing Memorial (0-1) to four shots on
goal.
Grutzner said the plan was to
hold senior midfielder Mary Erick-
son, who was one of the Spartans
leading scorers last season.
And despite the possession being
back-and-forth in the beginning of
the second half, Oregon came back

Getting outside has been a
bleak proposition for the Ore-
gon girls track and field team
this spring.
Already forced to cancel
the teams non-conference
dual meet at Belleville last
week, it skipped Tuesdays
Badger Challenge meet in
Portage, opting rather to
reschedule the Sugar River
Quad this Friday.
W/TFA
Oregons lone individual
returning state qualifier,
junior Jamie Wood, got a
chance to show her mettle
Saturday at the W/TFA State
Indoor Championships at
the University of Wisconsin-
Whitewater.
Competing against 48 oth-
er competitors, Wood went
on to finish a team-best 14th
overall in the 400-meter run
with a time of 1 minute, 2.55
seconds.
The W/TFA meet is a state-
wide meet with qualifying
standards in each event in
order to limit participation to
the more elite athletes and
create a type of champion-
ship meet.
Because of that, we did
not bring a full team, but
rather entered ladies that we
felt could withstand the more
intense competition, Pan-
thers head coach Kathy Men-
tink said. We also had a few
ladies unavailable due to prior
commitments in other extra-
curricular activities.
Fellow junior Valerie Jones
went on to take 15th in the
800 (2:27.95) before tying for
17th in the high jump with a
clearance of 4-10.
Junior Ruby Carpenter was
the only other Oregon athlete
to tie for 20th place in the
pole vault with a height of
7-6.
Overall, the ladies did
quite well, Mentink said.
We had a few hiccups due
to the hardships of a large
meet on an indoor track (it is
crowded on the corners a
couple girls took some falls).
Maddie LeBrun placed
48th out of 109 in the 800,
while the Panthers 4x400
relay of Wood, LeBrun, Car-
penter and Jones placed 25th
(in the top half) despite a fall
in the third lap.
Milwaukee King won the
meet easily, finishing 30
points ahead of crosstown
rival Milwaukee Riverside,
65-35. Neenah rounded out
the top three, one point back
from Riverside.

Sophomore Josh Sro-
movsky was the only Panther

Schneider cruised to a 6-1, 6-1
victory over Timmy Vallon atop
the Panthers singles lineup, while
junior Dakota Tollakson matched

Fellow juniors Alec Onesti and
Brady Behrend finished out the

Onesti was down 4-1 both sets to

After losing three
games to cold tempera-
tures and melting snow
wreaking havoc on the
Oregon High School
ballfield, the Panthers
finally found their way
on the baseball dia-
mond last Friday.
The day was origi-
nally scheduled to be a
non-conference matchup against
Madison West but instead became
a makeup game from Thursday
against Badger South rival Mon-
roe.
Not missing a beat, junior
pitcher Logan Laski threw
six shutout innings to help
the Panthers pull out a 3-0
win to open the season.
Laski allowed four hits
and no walks while striking
out five, and senior pitch-
er Zach Ragels came in to
record the save in the sev-
enth.
Ragels walked three hitters to
put the tying run on base but was
able to get out of the inning. He
also had a strikeout.
Senior shortstop Simon Mau-
rice was 2-for-3 with a double to
lead the hitting.
Oregon scored twice in the sec-
ond inning and once more in the
fifth.
The Panthers continue the sea-
son at 5 p.m. Thursday against
Portage at home before traveling
to DeForest at 11 a.m. Saturday
for a doubleheader.
Oregon closes the week against
Badger South rival Stoughton at 5
p.m. Tuesday, April 16, at home.
Oregon, Milton (PPD)
Oregon was supposed to travel
to Milton last Tuesday to play
the Red Hawks, but the game
was postponed due to heavy
rain, dampening fields that were
already a little soft due to the late
winter thaw.
There was no makeup date
announced at the time of the

the Panthers once
again postponing
their season opener
against non-confer-
ence Evansville.
Field conditions at Oregons
varsity field forced the team to opt
instead to move the game to Jaycee
Park.
Liz Auer tripled and walked in a
run as the Panthers built a 4-0 lead
through four innings. Oregon was
unable to retain that lead, however.
Evansville rallied with two runs
over the next two innings before a
Sara Krueger triple and a third Ore-
gon error allowed the Jays to push
ahead 7-6.
Hailey Morey allowed five earned
runs to take the loss, striking out
seven and walking one in a com-

No one may be more excit-
ed about Oregon restarting
the defunct boys lacrosse pro-
gram this season than senior
Cole Yates.
Having played three years
of lacrosse with the Stough-
ton/Oregon youth program,
Yates is simply excited about
being able to play again after
rupturing his ACL and MCL
his freshman season.
Following the morph-
ing of the Oregon boys
lacrosse team into a co-op
with Stoughton over the past
couple of seasons, the Pan-
thers will go it alone this
spring under the direction of
first-year varsity head coach
David Kean, who coached at
the Stoughton youth level for
the past two seasons.
Oregon had a boys
lacrosse squad for a short
time prior to Keans involve-
ment before it dissolved.
Truth be told, Yates and
junior Christian Poe might
still be playing in Stoughton
if the program hadnt become
a school-only sport, meaning
you had to be enrolled in the
Stoughton Area School Dis-
trict in order to play for the
Vikings lacrosse team.
Its going to be fun play-
ing in my hometown because
I know all of these guys,
Yates said. When I started at
Stoughton I only knew three
of my teammates, who also
happened to be from Ore-
gon.
With quite a few new play-
ers to the sport, Yates has
done his best to answer ques-
tions, though until the team
gets outside for practice and
a game situation, its going
to be hard to set everyone
straight.
While Kean said he thinks
there will eventually be
enough interest to have sev-
eral levels of competition, as
more people are exposed to
the sport, the boys will only
field a varsity team this sea-
son.
It takes some decent foot-
work, good hand eye coordi-
nation and a willingness to
work in order to be success-
ful, said Kean, who has been
able to gather up 19 players,
half of which have been play-
ing at other places.
It certainly wont give the
Panthers much depth, how-
ever, as 10 players start each
game.
All of the athletes that have
come out so far are picking
the game up very well he
said.
Poe got his start with
lacrosse as a sixth grader,
playing up until he opted for
track and field his freshman
year.
Despite lettering as a jump-
er his first season with the
Panther track team, Poe said,
track got kind of boring. I
wanted to play a more physi-
cal game and build my body
up for football.
Running was alright, but
getting in the weight room
and playing lacrosse was just
more fun.
Several of the players on
this seasons team have fol-
lowed Poe from the gridiron
to the lacrosse field.
Freshman Trent Ricker is
one of the youngest players
on the team, but dont let that
fool you hes also one of
the more experienced.
Seeing Poe and friends
playing lacrosse, Ricker
talked his father into buying
cheap sticks shortly after.
Ricker went on to play
three seasons in Verona, and
a year at Stoughton and Mad-
ison West.
I quickly fell in love with
the sport, he said. Its going
to mean a lot to be part of the
first team here as we restart
the program.
Kean, who first became
involved with the sport as it
was really taking off in Colo-
rado back in the early 90s,
continued playing in college
as a player/coach at Gustavus
Adolphus College.
With lacrosse really taking
off in Minnesota now, Kean
said, I am excited as I see
Wisconsin primed and ready
for the same explosion I saw
in both Colorado and Minne-
sota.
The hardest parts to pick
up for the uninitiated with
lacrosse are the rules.
As far as that goes, Kean
said, I guess we will find
out more about that when we
actually get outside for some
games.
Oregon postponed its first
two games against Madison
Memorial and rival Stough-
ton.
jump in the 21 foot range,
while Green Bay Prebles
Robert Starnes won the event

Oregon finished 39 out of

Green Bay Preble domi-
nated the competition with a
team score of 63 more than
30 points ahead of second-
place Homestead (29). Madi-
son Memorial (26) rounded
out the top three schools.
Sromovsky went on to
help Oregon turn in its top
relay finish as well, join-
ing Brock Buckner, Jawan
Turner and Lucas Matthews
to finish 13th in the 4x200
(1:35.30).
This was definitely one
of the better teams weve put
together so far this season,
Lease said of the relay.
It was the first time com-
peting in the relay this season
for Sromovsky and Bucker,
who replaced Lucas Knipfer
and Brennan Deegan.
Turners leap of 41-4 tied
for 12th in the triple jump.
Matthews added a 17th-
place finish in the high jump,
where his clearance of 5-10
tied five other competitors.
Teammate Graham Otis tied
for 23 at 5-8.
Chris Cutter and Jeff
Jaeggi (800) and Ben Vogt
(1,600) also had solid races
for the Panthers.
Oregon travels to Bel-
leville at 4:15 p.m. this

to be at 4:30 p.m. Thursday,

If we had opportunities to
practice shooting, we prob-

of those. Grutzner said. It
was nice to get a win against
Memorial, but it is very early

little confidence in these early
stages.

announced l ast mont h
that shed be moving and
wouldnt serve another term,
but her name remained on
the ballot).
I think its somewhat of
a mandate for some chang-
es as far as the way that we
deal with teachers and oth-
er school employees, said
Krause, an attorney and
military veteran with two
kids in the district.
Kr ause and Vogel er
separately campaigned on
improving communication
between the board and Ore-
gon School District staff,
students and residents.
And they both garnered
endorsements from the
local teachers union.
So di d Jef f Rami n,
who last spring unseated
15-year board veteran and
president Deedra Atkinson.
Ramins campaign includ-
ed criticism that the board
should have focused less
on preparing a $33 million
referendum that failed in
February 2012 and more on
boosting staff salaries and
morale.
Vogeler, a technical writ-
er and former social worker
who has lived in the district
17 years, said last Tues-
days vote signaled that
residents were unsatisfied
with the status quo.
As I was knocki ng
those doors (during the
campaign), I kept hearing
over and over again that
(residents) felt the school
board was removed or
disconnected, Vogeler
said.
I really feel that the peo-
ple spoke.
Vogeler already plans to
continue holding monthly
listening sessions she start-
ed during her campaign,
and shell host a blog (rae-
forschoolboard.com) she
hopes will spur residents to
give input.
I want to be very active
and out there, she said.
For her part, Farrar said
she was disappointed in last
weeks vote but grateful for
the wonderful experience
of serving on the board.
She noted that her oppo-
nents outspent her, which
may have contributed to
her defeat.
Ca mp a i g n f i n a n c e
reports filed in late March
showed that Vogeler, a
former Green Party candi-
date for U.S. Senate, had
raised $4,189 and Krause
had raised $2,132. Farrar
was not required to file a
pre-election finance report
because she pledged to
keep her receipts under
$1,000. (She estimated
that she spent about
$850.)
She wi shed t he
wi nner s wel l but
added that she hopes
t he board doesnt
become a ring for
people to do their
political action at the
detriment of the kids.
That has been my
priority all along,
she said. The school
board should be for
the students and not for the
adults at all.
Farrars final meeting
was Monday. Vogeler and
Krause will be sworn in at
the April 22 meeting.
Both newcomers said
theyre eager to get start-
ed. During her campaign,
Vogel er t our ed ever y
school and knocked on
hundreds of doors.
Im taking this very
seriously, she said.
Among his priorities,
Krause said the district
should continue pursuing
a referendum, though hed
favor breaking a multi-fac-
eted referendum into pieces
so voters could show which
building improvements are
most important to them.
Hes also interested in ask-
ing taxpayers to pay more
to bolster pay for district
staff.
If were going to have a
great school district, were
going to have to pony up a
little bit, he said.

workers stood in an open

tossed the dime and all three
crouched down to see the
outcome.
It was kind of surreal,
Johnson said.
After losing by luck alone,
Johnson said she plans to
remain involved in local
issues.
I care a lot about the town
and hope that things continue
to be positive for the town,
she said.

Jennifer Hanson.

Mark IgnatowskI
Unifed Newspaper Group
Bucking the trend of low
voter turnout typically found
in elections without many
state and national candidates,
the Town of Brooklyn logged
a 57 percent voter turnout last
Tuesday.
The town will have a new
chairperson in Jim Scrivner.
Scrivner had previously led
campaigns to combine the
towns clerk and treasurer
positions and to make them
appointed positions moves
that were rejected by voters in
2012.
Scrivner, who served as
town chair from 1997-2003,
collected 294 votes compared
to challenger Alistair Carrs
144.
Jeffrey McNeel y was
elected Supervisor 1 with 325
votes over Cathy Cryor Burg-
wegers 95 votes.
Voters also chose to oust
incumbent clerk Melinda Carr
by giving her challenger Dan
Meixelsperger 317 votes com-
pared to Carrs 119.
John Davis and Russell
Cichy, both unopposed, were
elected as Supervisor 2 and
Treasurer with 345 and 342
votes, respectively.
Other local municipalities
saw less turnover on their
boards.
The Village of Oregon fea-
tured uncontested races with
Steve Staton earning another
two-year term as village presi-
dent. On the Village Board,
incumbents Darlene Groenier
and Eric Poole received 980
and 976 votes, respectively,
and newcomer Jeanne Car-
penter garnered 1,027. Staton
received 1,322 votes.
Total turnout for the April 2
election was 26 percent, with
1,764 out of 6,715 registered
voters casting ballots, accord-
ing to village clerk Peggy
Haag.
In the Village of Brooklyn,
village president Nadine Wal-
sten will serve again.
The village had three Board
of Trustees seats available,
with only two registered can-
didates. Incumbent Dorothy
Frandy and newcomer John
McNaughton were elected.
Current supervisor Todd
Klahn will fill the other seat,
said deputy clerk Kim Brew-
er.
Todd Klahn got majority
of the write-in votes, Brewer
told the Observer, despite
Klahns plans to not run again.
In the Town of Dunn, new-
comer Jeffery Hodgson will
fill outgoing supervisor Stan-
ley Solheims seat. Longtime
Town Chair Ed Minihan and
supervisor Steve Greb will
continue to serve, as well.
In Rutland, all incumbents
ran unopposed. Town Chair
Dale Beske and board super-
visor Milton Sperle earned
new terms. Town clerk Dawn
George and treasurer Kim
Sime kept the same positions,
too.
Shawn Hillestad and Nels
Wethal ran for two constable
seats.

Headliners
donate to
salvation army
The Oregon Headliners 4-H
Club received a grant enabling
them to complete a service project
over the youths spring break.
The Headliners received a grant
from the Dane County 4-H Lead-
ers Association for $475 and addi-
tional club money was used for
the project.
Club members decided on a
project to help provide for the
homeless and the goal was to
make slumber packs to donate
to the Salvation Army in Madison.
Members visited fabric stores
buying fleece and made as many
tie blankets as there are kids in
our club during February and
March. Families also shopped for
pajamas and donated books.
Anot her shoppi ng t ri p was
arranged for youth to purchase
toiletry items including sham-
poo/conditioner, brush and comb,
toothpaste, toothbrush, toothbrush
holder and a bar of soap.
During their spring break in the
end of March, they met at the Ore-
gon Town Hall to assemble and
delivered slumber packs.
The slumber packs included
a blanket, pair of pajamas, age
appropriate story book and a bag
of toiletry items. Each pack had a
hand made card attached.
The group delivered 34 slum-
ber packs to the Salvation Army
along with boxes of books and
extra toiletry items.
They then met with a Salvation
Army representative who gave the
group some history on the shelter
and a tour.
During their spring break in the end
of March, the Oregon Headliners met
at the Oregon Town Hall to assemble
and deliver slumber packs to the
Salvation Army.
