Knutson busy, happy, since taking reins of Oregon chamber
Bill livick
Unifed Newspaper Group
Judy Knutson stepped into her
role as the executive director of
the Oregon Area Chamber of
Commerce in June, shortly before
the organization launched Sum-
mer Fest.
For most, it would have been
a daunting way to begin a new
position. But not for Knutson.
She embr aced
the challenge and
the annual com-
munity celebration
which happens to
be the chambers
biggest annual fun-
draiser went off
without a hitch.
Kn u t s o n h a s
maintained her vigor and can-do
attitude in the months since then.
And shes been busy.
Its going absolutely wonder-
fully, she told the Observer on
Tuesday. Im excited to be able
to be out in the community. I real-
ly enjoy that.
Knutsons already begun plan-
ning for next years Summer
Fest, along with preparing for the
chambers 50th anniversary next
year.
Shes also working on the
chambers annual banquet, slated
for January 2014, and a couple
of events closer on the calendar.
On Tuesday, Sept. 10, the cham-
ber holds its annual golf outing,
and the organization has planned
a Womens Expo for Oct. 15 in
Oregon.
Knutson has smaller engage-
ments that pop up around the
community, as well. On Thurs-
day, she planned to attend a
groundbreaking for construction
of Headquarters Bar and Grill.
And she recently took in another
groundbreaking, for Mueller Den-
tistry, in anticipation of Chad
Muellers new office building on
the west side.
Village officials have been
working closely with Knutson and
the chamber on a couple of proj-
ects: the design off the Jefferson

Village, DOT
discuss plans
for new Hwy. 14
Work to create
four lanes,
relocate road to
take place by 2020
Bill livick
Somet i me bet ween
2016 and 2020, the Wis-
consin Department of
Transportation plans to
relocate U.S. Hwy. 14
from the Village of Ore-
gon to State Hwy. 92 at
Brooklyn. When that hap-
pens, the highway will
become a four-lane road.
The long-term goal is to
make Hwy. 14 four lanes
to Janesville.
The new right of way
for the highway is a
66-foot parcel west of cur-
rent Hwy. 14 and east of
Hwy. MM, about half way
between the two roads,
explained Town of Rut-
land chair Dale Beske.
He and DOT project
engineer Mike Rampets-
reiter met with the Oregon
Village Board Aug. 19 to
discuss upcoming chang-
es. While the project is
still in the relatively early
planning stage, Beske
and Rampetsreiter wanted
to keep village officials
informed of the project.
Beske said planners are
trying to determine how to
terminate old Hwy. 14 at
Hwy. 138 east of the vil-
lage. When the new road
is built, existing Hwy. 14
will become a Town of
Rutland road.
Weve looked at sever-
al ways to connect old 14
to 138, Beske said.
One idea is to terminate
the road at the intersec-
tion of Hill Road. Traf-
fic would then be routed
north on Hill Road to
Hwy. 138.
It isnt designed for
todays traffic because it
doesnt have shoulders
and is narrow and hilly,
Beske said, but were
considering it.
Rampetsreiter said the
DOT is discussing build-
ing a roundabout at Hwy.
138 just east of the former
Meuller Implement build-
ing. Its also planning to
create a Park and Ride in
that location, which would
allow a right-turn in, right-
turn out only option, he
said.
The new Hwy. 14 will
reconnect with old 14
near Rutland Road, east
of Brooklyn.
Beske sai d Rut l and
will have to update its
comprehensive plan to
accept old Hwy. 14, and
t he t own woul d need
Village of Oregon and
Dane County approval to
amend its plan.
Vi l l age of Or egon
president Steve Staton
brought up the DOTs
plan of building a road
salt shed near the inter-
section of Hwys. 14 and
138. He said the vil -
lage has opposed the
idea because it is not the
image the village wants
for an important gateway
to the community.

Special to the Observer
The Oregon-Brooklyn
Food Pantry has oper-
ated for many years with
the support of several
churches in the area, and
many community volun-
teers, offering a variety
of food and consumer sta-
ples to local households
experiencing financial
stress. The operation has
become a reliable service
and has met many needs
during its years of opera-
tion.
Duri ng t he growi ng
season, local gardeners
have brought in small
amounts of their surplus
produce but there has
never been enough to
make sure all food pantry
clients would leave with
a variety of fresh veg-
etables. Local gardener

Oregon woman convicted of fifth count of operating while intoxicated
victoria vlisides
A 40-year-old Oregon
woman was sentenced to
48 months in the Wisconsin
Prison System last Wednes-
day after being convicted
of her of a fifth operating
while intoxicated charge, a
felony.
N o e l l e
M. Ha r t ,
500 bl oc k
o f No r t h
Perry Park-
way, pleaded
guilty at the
t ri al at t he
Dane County
Court House
i n front of
Circuit Court judge Nicho-
las McNamara.
Co n d i t i o n s o f t h e
supervision include Harts
l i cense bei ng r evoked
for 36 months, an igni-
tion interlock device being
installed on any vehicle
she owns or operates for 36
months, an AODA assess-
ment and follow through,
active participation in alco-
hol and drug treatment, no
alcohol or drugs without a
prescription, random urine
and blood samples, no drug
paraphernalia and no con-
tact with her alleged boy-
friend who introduced her
to heroin without written
permission of an agent.
Court fees and fines came
to $1,449.
Hart , who' s previ ous
OWIs were in 2000, twice
in '01, and '07, was arrest-
ed by Madison police in
October after she drove off
the road on South Whitney
Way and hit a tree with her
vehicle that also had a pas-
senger who fled the scene.
Authorities arrested Hart
for operating while under
t he i nfl uence-5t h OWI,
possessi on of schedul e
II narcotic, possession of
drug paraphernalia, operat-
ing after suspension- 3rd
offense, failure to have con-
trol of vehicle, and operat-
ing a motor vehicle without
insurance.
Har t was pr evi ousl y
charged with three counts
of f el ony chi l d abuse,
which the district attor-
ney's office amended to be
one count of misdemeanor
child neglect. Hart pleaded
no contest to this charge in
June 2013.
At the trial, Hart's attor-
ney, Rober t Hur l ey of
Hurley Law Office, LLC,
argued she see minimum
jail time for the offense -- 6
months -- so she could still
see her 4-year-old son.
Hurley cited her progress
in substance abuse coun-
seling, stress and anger
management programs and
holding a maintenance job.
Hart told McNamara she
wanted to change.
"I don' t want to go to
prison," Hart said between
sobbing. "I've worked too
hard for what I've got, and
I don' t want to lose my
child."
Assistant district attorney
Joseph Mimier said Hart is
a danger to society and to
her child because of sub-
stance abuse.
"We're not saying Nicole
Hart abused the child," he
said. "What we' re really
saying is she just wasn' t
paying close enough atten-
tion."
McNamara said he saw
progress but it wasn' t
enough.
" Th e r e ' s n o t mu c h
patience for a fifth OWI
conviction," he said.

Village board
approves hiring
new municipal
accountant
Position used to
exist in village Hall
but was eliminated
several years ago
Bill livick
The Vi l l age Boar d
last week approved hir-
ing Susan Poole as the
villages new municipal
accountant.
The position used to
exist in Village Hall but
had been eliminated sev-
eral years ago.
Finance director Lisa
Novinska recently reor-
gani zed her st aff and
brought the municipal
accountant position back.
Poole will also work with
billing for the water util-
ity.
Lisa felt that she want-
ed to have a little more
account i ng experi ence
back in the front office,
explained village admin-
istrator Mike Gracz. So
she decided to combine
the positions the accoun-
tant position and the util-
ity billing clerk are now
the municipal accountant
position.
Gracz sai d when he
advertised job opening,
we said you had to have
at least a two-year degree
in accounting. That really
cut down the number of
applicants.
He told the board that
only 10 or 11 people had
applied for the job.
Poole had two inter-
v i e ws b e f o r e b e i ng
offered the job, which has
a starting salary of $18.50
per hour.
Poole is married to vil-
lage Trustee Eric Poole,
who did not participate in
the discussion or vote at
last weeks meeting.
Susan Poole has worked
for 20 years as an accoun-
tant for a plumbing busi-
ness.
Im moving out of the
construction field, she
said. I need a change,
and this position interest-
ed me
She said there will be
a learning curve with the
new position but I ought
to be able to pick that up
without a problem. She
will begin work Tuesday,
Sept. 3.
The Pooles have lived
in the village for 25 years
and have an adult daugh-
ter who lives in Verona.
Couple leads Golden Retriever benefit
setH Jovaag
A Town of Oregon cou-
ple with a penchant for
pooches is hoping area resi-
dents support a fundraiser
next week to help dogs in
distress.
Amie and Bryan Trupke
are helping organize the third
annual Dog Day After-
noon, a fundraiser for a
non-profit dog rescue group,
Wisconsin Adopt A Golden
Retriever (WAAGR).
The Sept. 14 fundraiser at
Lilianas restaurant in Fitch-
burg includes games for kids,
obstacle courses for dogs and
appetizers or a four-course
dinner option. And yes, dogs
are welcome, too.
Amie Trupke is president
of WAAGR, a volunteer-run
group that takes in Golden
Retrievers and Golden mixes
that are abandoned or surren-
dered by their owners.
An attorney by day in
Madison, Trupke joined the
organization in January 2010
and took over as president in
May 2011.
Tr upke sai d she got
involved with the group
simply because she loves
Goldens, including the two
7-year-old dogs she and Bry-
an keep in their home in the
Raven Oaks neighborhood.
The couple has fostered oth-
er Goldens, most recently
Sadie, a young Golden they
have cared for since April.
Sadie was found, along
with her brother and sister,
under the porch of an aban-
doned home in Kentucky.
After being seized by animal
control workers there, Sadie
was placed in a foster home
in Kentucky, but she was so
fearful of humans that the
placement didnt work out,
Trupke said.
She was terrified of
everything, she said.
So Trupke offered to house
the pet and it was transported
to Wisconsin by a WAAGR
volunteer.
After months of training
and hard work, Sadie is now
very affectionate with me
but still wary of strangers,
Trupke said.
Its a work in progress,
she said.
That story isnt unusual
among the core group of
roughly 50 volunteers who
chip in to provide temporary
shelter to an ever-rotating
group of Goldens that at any
given time numbers about
25. The goal is to eventually
pair the dogs with permanent
owners.
WAAGR has no paid staff
but rings up expensive veter-
inary bills by caring for sick
or injured pets, Trupke said.
All proceeds from the Sept.
14 fundraiser will support
those efforts.
The event at Lilianas
includes live music, a story-
teller, face painting and other
games. Bryan Trupke is bar
manager at the restaurant,
which will cap off the event
with a four-course meal with
wine pairings from 5:30-7:30
p.m.
A silent auction will give
visitors a chance to bid on
gift certificates to restaurants
in Oregon, Verona and Mad-
ison, American Girl mer-
chandise, dog daycare and
training lessons, artwork and
more.
WAAGR s ma i l i n g
address is in Brookfield but
its operations are spread
throughout the state, Amie
Trupke said. This is the
groups largest annual fun-
draiser.

A
s consumers, we are very
interested in how our
food is grown and what
goes into it.
A balanced diet based on
proper caloric intake, along with
exercise and a healthy lifestyle,
is the key to minimizing the
risk of obesity and premature
disease that is
so prevalent in
todays society.
But finding
the answers
to our ques-
tions isnt an
easy task. With
strong opinions
and conflict-
ing informa-
tion shared
every day on TV, online and in
our own conversations, its no
wonder we get lost in all of the
arguments. How do we know if
foods are safe and nutritious?
Some say this food discus-
sion has even become a new
religion. Weve started judging
our neighbors moral character
based on what they buy in the
grocery store.
Its a needlessly polarizing
topic. It seems to me that in
recent years, it has gone from
being science-based and logical
to very emotional and somewhat
illogical.
Amid the arguments, the ulti-
mate goal is still simple: All
of us want our food to be safe,
nutritious and accessible to
everyone, including future gen-
erations.
Sifting through the opinions
and bringing back the logic is
actually simple, too. Just as the
medical field relies on thorough
research to discover new treat-
ments that are both safe and
effective, the same thought pro-
cess needs to apply to our food
discussion.
We need reliable sources
that repeatedly demonstrate the
safety and nutritional value of
the foods we eat.
Lets use the topic of raw
milk as an example. As con-
sumers, we appreciate having
numerous choices of products
in the dairy case. However,
consuming raw milk and other
non-pasteurized dairy products
presents a public health safety
issue.
According to the Center for
Disease Control (CDC), the rate
of food poisoning outbreaks
caused by raw milk and unpas-
teurized dairy products is 150
times greater than outbreaks
linked to pasteurized products.
These outbreaks may be on the
rise given the emotional popu-
larity of raw milk products.
Even though our modern
dairy farms are much cleaner
and better-managed than years
ago, all animals naturally harbor
bacteria and present a risk if this
food is not processed correctly.
Pasteurization is a great exam-
ple of a thoroughly researched
technology that has removed
a potential health risk without
compromising dairy products
nutritional value.
It was interesting to listen to
radio call-in shows one day con-
cerning this topic.
One caller, for example,
firmly stated that he had con-
sumed raw milk all of his life
and he can count on one hand
how many times he has been
sick. Thats great for him, but it
leaves out a lot of information.
He might be fortunate to
have minimal family history of
disease. We dont know if he
gets enough exercise and sleep
or whether his diet is well-
balanced. Does he practice good
hygiene? We cannot say that
one single choice has led to his
outstanding health as many fac-
tors are most likely at play.
To prove that raw milk was
indeed the source of his great
health, we would need to see
similar results from thousands
of people with all different
backgrounds, lifestyles and
genetics. However, peer-
reviewed research does not
show a health benefit and actu-
ally shows a much higher risk
for illness associated with raw
milk.
Lets use another example
genetically modified foods
(GMOs) and this one has an
even wider ironic twist. Its
interesting to see the strong
movement for the legalization
of raw milk sales when research
repeatedly shows significant
health risks from this food. At
the same time, we see a strong
movement to ban food produced
with GMO technology even
though piles of research show
that it improves crop health (and
subsequent yields) and reduces
chemical and mechanical inputs.
Prior to the approval of GMO
crops 20 years ago, thousands of
research trials and years of uni-
versity research were invested
to verify GMO crops show no
differences in food safety than
conventional crops.
Here in the Oregon area, we
can drown out a lot of the noise
and personal information about
complicated and can be confus-
ing topics such as GMO and
raw milk by turning to some
nearby resources. I encourage
you to seek out University of
Wisconsin experts when look-
ing for credible information on
your food choices and food pro-
duction practices. After all, the
university has some of the best
researchers in the world.
As we look to the future, we
need to sustainably bridge the
gap between population growth
and food supply. We need to
find the ways we can safely pro-
duce wholesome and nutritious
foods for billions of different
people and lifestyles. We will
need to continue to do more
with less and find the balance
between adapting new technolo-
gies and reducing any potential
risks that may exist.
University research will play
a crucial role in our future in
order to scientifically verify
new technologies and ensure
they are safe, socially respon-
sible and economically viable.

Sensitive Egos
My brothers and I were recently engaged in a conversation about
our childhood in which we all felt compelled to apologize for our
youthful teasing and taunting of each other. What was interesting
to me was that we all felt that in one way or another the teasing
and striving with each other had made us more prepared to deal
with life. One brother even expressed the worry that we are so
over-sensitized to emotionally abusive people these days that
we are cultivating a whole generation of young people who are
unable to handle any kind of threats to their fragile egos. When
they are bullied they react in ways that are hugely disproportion-
ate to the situation, i.e. suicides, mass shootings, etc. Perhaps
the teasing banter and rough and tumble play of childhood is
preparation for life in a world that isnt always sensitive to the
fragile vagaries of our ego. It would be nice, albeit boring, if we
lived in a world where everyone was always kind and deferential
but until that ideal world arrives, perhaps we should let kids
engage in the rough and tumble world of childhood in a way
that will prepare them for the real world. Resolving conflict is an
important skill that is best learned early in life.
Christopher Simon for Metro News Service
A hot-tempered person stirs up conflict, but the one who is
patient calms a quarrel.
Proverbs 15: 18

SENIOR CARE
Q. How can I help my senior eat a nutritious diet?
A. No matter what your age, good nutrition is one of the best ways to stay healthy and
daily food choices can make an important difference. Managing the nutritional needs of
your senior can be a challenge, but here are some practical diet tips that can help. Healthy
eating can increase mental acuteness, help to resist illness and disease, promote higher energy
levels, faster recuperation times and better management of chronic health problems. Eating
a balanced mix of healthy foods can be a key to a positive outlook as well as help prevent
diseases such as heart, stroke, type 2 diabetes, bone loss and some kinds of cancer or anemia.
Be sure to check with a doctor or registered dietitian about foods to include or avoid. Here
are a few suggestions: Whole, enriched, and fortied grains and cereals such as brown rice
and 100% whole wheat bread; Bright-colored vegetables such as carrots and broccoli; Deep-
colored fruit such as berries and melon; Low-fat and non-fat dairy products such as yogurt and low-lactose milk; Dry
beans and nuts, sh, poultry, lean meat and eggs; Liquid vegetable oils and soft spreads low in saturated and trans fat;
Fluid intake and foods with high water content such as lettuce, vegetable juice and soups; Making small changes can
help a senior enjoy meals and assure that he or she gets the nutrients and energy
needed for healthy, active living.

VETERINARIAN
Q. What should I do if I nd injured or orphaned wildlife?
A. Trying to help injured or orphaned wildlife can be dangerous to both you and the
animal you are trying to help. Many carry diseases that can be transmitted to humans
and pets and frightened animals may bite or scratch trying to protect themselves from
you. If possible, place a cardboard box or laundry basket over the animal to contain them
until you are able to contact a licensed animal control ofcer or wildlife rehabilitator.
Different species have very specic dietary and medical needs and it is against the law
to rehabilitate wildlife in Wisconsin without a proper license.

When President Thomas
Jefferson appointed Meri-
wether Lewis and William
Clark to explore the newly
purchased Louisiana Ter-
ritory, he probably had no
idea their path would make
such a cool summer trip for
kids more than 200 years
later.
But Westward Bound
is more than just a fun way
to follow in the footsteps of
the countrys two leading
explorers. In June, a group
of 20 eighth-grade students
and five chaperones trav-
eled nearly 2,000 miles as
they explored the West and
reflected in the glory of the
lands that Lewis and Clark
not to mention genera-
tions of Native Americans
once walked.
While there were plenty
of new things to learn and
see along the way, some
of the greatest discoveries
were of themselves.
T h e p r o g r a m wa s
approved last fall by the
Oregon School Board to
help at risk eighth grade
st udent s t ransi t i on i nt o
high school by building
their confidence and lead-
ership skills, and helping
them feel more connected
to their school and com-
munity. The foundations of
the program are building
connections, learning about
the outdoors, experiencing
hands-on learning and find-
ing out more about diverse
cultures.
The course is the brain-
child of Oregon Middle
School teacher Amy Vatne-
Bintliff, who previously led
students on three similar
cross-country summer trips
while teaching in Minne-
sota. The stories from those
trips and how they affected
those students formed the
basis of her 2001 book,
Re-engaging Disconnected
Youth.
Vatne-Bintliff said the
transition from eighth to
ninth grade is a time when a
lot of students really strug-
gle, making a program like
Westward Bound particu-
larly useful.
Especially those first
mont hs of hi gh school ,
t he y c a n f e e l r e a l l y
overwhelmed, she said.
Participants are chosen
for the program based on
t eacher or st aff recom-
mendations. The course
is geared toward students
who have struggled with
truancy, schoolwork, fam-
ily problems or low self-
esteem or who have gotten
into trouble in or out of
school. Eighty percent of
students on the trip failed
one or more classes last
year.
Westward Bound was
f unded t hr ough near l y
$9,000 in donations from
t he communi t y, i ncl ud-
ing the Oregon Education
Foundation, the Oregon
Rotary Club and the Madi-
son South Rotary Club, as
the cost per student was
more than $700.
Learning experience
The program began with
two full summer school
cl assroom days, where
st udent s l earned camp-
ing skills, Lakota history,
westward expansion history
and steps to investigate sci-
ence along the journey. The
group then boarded three
vans and headed out on a
week-long camping trip to
Devils Tower, Wyo., stop-
ping at historic sites along
the way, including the Akta
Lakot a Museum, Crazy
Horse Monument, Badlands
National Park and Custer
State Park.
Lessons on caring for the
environment, Leave No
Trace camping and lead-
ership skills were taught
along the way by three
teachers licensed in lan-
guage arts, history and sci-
ence. Students saw many
animals, interviewed Native
American artists and saw
a fossil workshop at Bad-
lands National Park.
Each evening on the trip
and each class, the group
met in a Restorative Jus-
tice Talking Circle, said
Vatne-Bintliff.
We use a talking piece
that is passed around the
circle, she said. When
someone has the talking
piece, it is their time to
speak. When they dont,
it is their time to listen. It
serves to connect the group
and form trust along the
journey, she said. It also
serves as a way to reflect on
the days experiences and
the lessons learned.
Vatne-Bintliff said some
of the best memories of the
journey centered around
students supporting and
encouraging each other as
they tried new things.
One student participated
in a hike that challenged
his fear of heights, other
students worked through
missing their families, still
anot her shared feel i ngs
during circle, she said.
Through all these things,
st udent s used words of
encouragement and praise
wi t hout any prompt i ng
from adults.
Students also volunteered
at a camp for people with
disabilities called Meet-
ing the Need in Otho,
S.D. They listened to Dal-
las Dietrich, founder of
the camp, share his stories
of resiliency, then worked
hard on forest fire preven-
tion and cleaned ditches
along the camp.
The st udent s di d an
amazi ng j ob, Vat ne-
Bintliff said. They came
together and were work-
ing as a team by the second
day.
This was the first year
Vatne-Bintliff took kids on
the trip that were as young
as eighth-graders, but she
said the group was great
and the trip was wonderful.
They did an amazing
job, she said. They really
came together as a group.
Our service project helped
with that and our evening
circles solidified it.
When students returned
from the trip, they met
again as a class and devel-
oped a newsletter and par-
t i ci pat ed i n i nt ervi ews
about t he t r i p and i t s
impact. They will continue
to meet in circle through-
out this year. Returning
to that circle space will re-
connect the group and will
allow students to explore
the joys and challenges of
the transition, said Vatne
Bintliff. The camping trip
serves as a model for how
resilient students are and
the leadership that they
showed during the jour-
ney.
Students speak
Eighth-graders who par-
ticipated were: Jayme Zan-
der, Emma Lust, Joshua
Klahn, Marcus Robey, Josh
Rudolph, Kassidy Aberle,
Faith Vaughn, Jeremiah
Kadl ec, Brayan Lopez,
Jamts Batbaatar, Lily Lin,
Chris Haggerty, Melanie
Blatterman, Alexus Jensen,
Nic Tierman, Alisha Chat-
field, Tim Soderman, Alex
Peschl and Karla Ortega.
Ninth-grader Rachel Gold-
berg served as a mentor.
Haggerty said the trip
was definitely worth spend-
ing some of his summer
vacation.
Its something youre
not going to forget for a
long time, he said.
Haggerty had heard from
friends about the trips in
years past, and made it a
point to go along this year.
He said he learned a lot
from the journey being
away from home and mak-
ing new friends.
It was about just get-
ting out more and not being
so lazy, Haggerty said. I
also appreciate going on the
trip for free, when it was
kind of expensive.
His favorite place to visit
on the trip was the Black
Hi l l s, and hi s favori t e
moment was when massive,
shaggy bison would walk
right up to vehicles.
That was pretty cool
to see up close, Haggerty
said.
For any students who
might be thinking about
joining up for the trip next
summer, Haggerty said it is
well worth it.
Go on the trip if you
have the opportunity to take
it, he said. You might not
be able to see something
like that ever again. You
wont regret going.
Zander said shes wanted
to go on the trip for some
time, and was not disap-
pointed.
I hadnt really known
any of the people who went
very well, but now I have
some really good friends,
she sai d. Every ni ght
we sat in a circle around
a campfire with a talking
piece, and it was kind of
deep (conversations) and it
was easy to share. I dont
have a lot of friends, but it
was good because we had
to be together, and by the
end we just wanted to be
together the entire time.
Adventure time!

Panthers drop Milton in Badger South Conference debut
Jeremy Jones
Sports editor
One of two seniors on the Ore-
gon girls tennis team with varsity
experience this season, Michelle
Peterson knows her coaches and
teammates are counting on her
experience more than ever this
season.
Such was the case Tuesday in
the Panthers Badger South Con-
ference debut as the No. 2 singles
player found herself down three
games to Miltons Emma Davis in
the first set.
Fighting back to 2-5, Peterson
rattled off five-straight wins to
close out the first set and three
more to start the second in a 7-5,
6-2 victory that clinched a 4-3
win over the visiting Red Hawks
in Oregons conference debut.
Coach came out and definitely
tried to get me to cool down my
emotions during that first set,
Peterson said. I just needed to
play strong and not let anything
get in my head because its such a
mental game.
Sophomore Leah Koopman
was the first Panther off the court,
rolling 6-2, 6-1 at No. 1 singles.
Junior Kenzie Torphy followed
that up, winning her No. 3 singles
match 6-4, 6-1.
The Panthers went on to drop
the next two matches, falling 7-5,
6-4 at No. 2 doubles, and 6-2, 6-4
at 2 singles.
Deadlocked at 2-all, Oregon
picked up a vital 7-5, 6-2 win at
No. 4 singles from junior Claire
Massey.
The Panthers had a chance to
extend their lead to 5-2 with No.
3 doubles still on the court.
Sophomores Jess Bartelt and
Madeline Bjerke were unable to
match their magic from earlier in
the week, however, falling 6-4,
4-6, 7-6 (7-3).
Still it was quite a change from
a 6-1 loss to a Milton team that
typically battles for one of the top
three spots in the conference.
Today was a huge win to not
only win, but win the way we
did, co-head coach Eric Gavin-
ski said. To fight back after
being down at 2 and 4 singles was

Panthers earn revenge
on milton after a regional
loss in 2012
Anthony Iozzo
Assistant sports editor
From the first point the Ore-
gon High School volleyball team
scored l ast Thursday agai nst
Milton, it was evident the match
was going to be big, despite being
the first Badger South Confer-
ence game.
And the energy and momentum
continued throughout as the host
Panthers earned revenge on the
Red Hawks for knocking them
out of regionals in 2012 with a
3-0 sweep (25-22, 25-16, 25-16).
We were really pumped when
we were get t i ng ready i n t he
locker room, junior middle hitter
Riley Rosemeyer said. You can
tell the excitement. We wanted
the revenge. This is conference.
We wanted to be on top, and we
knew this is what we needed to
do.
Milton (0-1 Badger South, 0-1)
overall) didnt have much going
for itself until the third game,
when the Red Hawks scored eight
out of nine points to take a 13-11
lead. But a kill by senior outside
hitter Maddy Gits, who led the
Panthers with 21, a few points
later changed all of that.
Oregon (1-0, 2-0) went on to
score 11 of the final 12 points,
including a couple of key blocks
by j uni or mi ddl e hi t t er Kena
Hinker, and took the game 25-16.

Panthers
stumble late
Jeremy Jones
Sports editor
Oregon scored 26-unan-
swered points Friday at
Mount Horeb/Barneveld, but
were unable to cement the
win late, dropping the Badger
Conference crossover game
46-39.
Panthers head coach Dan
Kissling called it one of the
most exciting high school
games hed ever been part
of, even though there was no
doubt hed like to rewrite the
ending.
Mount Horebs offense is
very hard to simulate in prac-
tice, Kissling said. It took
us a little while to adjust, but
simply put, we have to elimi-
nate the big plays.
Oregon rallied from an
18-point deficit, driving 75
yards before halftime to setup
the second of four touch-
down passes from senior
quarterback Jack Krueger to
junior wide receiver Josh Sro-
movsky.
Pushing the ball inside the
Vikings 1-yard line, the up-
tempo Oregon offense forced
MH/B to call timeout on
fourth down before Krueger
found Sromovsky open in the
rightside of the end zone.
That was a huge momen-
tum shifter, Sromovsky said.
It gave us a lot of confidence
that we were the better team.
Krueger went on to connect
with Sromovsky on scoring
passes from 44 and 57 yards
to start the third quarter.
Luke Knipfer forced a
fumble on the ensuing kickoff
before Oregons offense final-
ly stalled, going backwards
and punting on fourth-and-15.
Still, the Panthers defense
came up with another stop,
while junior Brock Buckner
tacked on an 8-yard touch-
down run to push the teams
lead out to 39-31.
We felt that we had con-
trol at that point, but we also
understood that we are a very
good team, Sromovsky said.
We couldnt take a play off.

win certainly wasnt anything
new for MH/B head coach
Travis Rohrer as over the
past six years, the Vikings
coaching staff has won 40
percent of their games after
trailing.
Oregon on the other hand,
which has won just five
games over the past three
seasons, is still learning how
to close out a game with the
lead.
We just arent used to
that, Sromovsky said. Its
part of getting that experi-
ence ... our minds were rac-
ing faster than we were play-
ing.
You could tell we werent
that comfortable, just because
we have never been in that
position.
The Vikings answered
back with a 24-yard strike to
Alex Field from Max Mey-
lor, who one possession later,
ran 48 yards to push MH-B
ahead 46-39 with just over a
minute on the clock.
Though MH/B was only a
game from state a year ago,
its not the same team.
We only have two back
on offense three or four
on defense, Rohrer said.
Were young, so it was
huge just to be able to bat-
tle through some adversity
tonight.
Krueger finished 15-of-
24 for 276 yards in the loss,
while Sromovsky caught
eight passes for 188 yards.
Buckner led the way on the
ground, racking up 114 yards
on 19 carries.
We can play with any-
body, theres just not going
to be any easy games in
the Badger Conference,
Kissling said. They had a lot
of mistakes, we just couldnt
capitalize and finish it.

has been the key so far this
season, and she said it was
what helped keep Miltons
attack off-balance.
We have been work-
ing mainly on our blocks
this year, and they have
surprisingly picked up,
Rosemeyer said. We saw
it in the last two games,
and i t has been a key
aspect because Milton has
some good strong hitters.
If we can block them, they
cant stop us.
Milton made a run in the
first game, as well after
Oregon took a 23-15 lead.
The Red Hawks scored
seven of t he next ei ght
points to pull to within
two. That prompted Ore-
gon head coach Kristen
Kluck to call a timeout and
calm the Panthers down.
Oregon came out of the
t i meout and scored t he
clincher for a 25-22 win to
set the tone for the rest of
the match.
I n t he second game,
Milton once again tried to
hang around, but the Pan-
thers scored five of the
final six points, including
two kills by Gits, to win
25-16.
The Panthers had some
trouble closing games and
matches last season, but
that is not the case so far
in 2013. Kluck said that
was a goal from the start of
practice.
Looking at last year, we
decided one of our goals
would be to not be a roller
coaster team, Kluck said.
So as soon as we feel
ourselves going into one
of those slumps, we just
really focus on our serve
receive and to get a great
pass to the setter so we can
get a good swing in.

Barbara Larson
Prestegard
Barbara Larson Preste-
gard, 92, of Oregon, passed
away on Aug. 31, 2013, at
Sienna Meadows Alzheim-
ers Care Center in Oregon.
After a long journey with
Alzheimers it is easy to lose
sight of all that a person
was.
Who is Barbara Preste-
gard?
Her life story began on
September 12, 1920, in
Readstown, Wis., when she
was born to her beloved
parents, Bernie and Annie
Callaway, one of five chil-
dren.
She married Russell Lar-
son and was blessed with
four sons. Losing her hus-
band to cancer at a young
age proved her persever-
ance through difficult times
by earning her teaching
degree to support her fam-
ily. In her own words:
raising her four boys was
her greatest achievement in
life.
Passion for education and
learning encompassed a
twenty year teaching career
which began in four differ-
ent one room schools and
ended in Oregon, where
she moved when marrying
Orlan Prestegard. Her final
career was with UW Exten-
sion guiding others on their
career path.
Creativity and multiple
interests radiated through
her musical, sewing, cook-
ing, gardening, and flower
arranging talents.
Al ways an organi zer,
she was i nvol ved wi t h
Boy Scouts, Little League,
Homemakers, school and
church groups.
Satisfying her interest
and curiosity of other cul-
tures, she traveled to every
continent except Antarctica
with her husband Orlan.
She often shared her knowl-
edge through public presen-
tations.
She had compassion for
others and reached out in
time of need through her
church and community.
Barbara is survived by
three sons: Brian (Cheryl)
Larson of Elmwood, Stuart
(Mary) Larson of Burling-
ton, and Paul (Terry) Lar-
son of Stoughton; daughter-
in-law: Nancy Larson of
Baraboo; one sister, Lois
Catrambone; sister-in-law,
Carol Callaway; 11 grand-
children, 32 great grand-
children; and other nieces,
nephews and friends.
She was preceded i n
death by her parents, her
husbands Russell Larson
and Orland Prestegard; her
son Frederick Larson; a
grandson: Bjorn Larson;
a granddaughter: Amy Jo
Larson; one brother: D.
Blayne Callaway; two sis-
ters: Emily Squire and
Normalee Dutch.
We would like to thank
the caregivers of Sienna
Meadows for five years of
care and compassion.
Visitation will be from
9:00 a.m. to the time of
service at 11:00 A.M. on
Saturday, Sept. 7, 2013, at
Peoples United Methodist
Church, 103 Alpine Park-
way, Oregon. Private inter-
ment will be in the Read-
stown Cemetery. Memo-
rials may be given to the

Oregons Liz Kepplinger unloads produce for the Oregon-Brooklyn Food Pantry.
In 2012, Keppl i nger
began making contacts with
large local growing opera-
tions, soliciting donations
of fresh produce for the
monthly food pantry distri-
bution day. The first year
went well so the initiative
continued in 2013 with a
new component the dis-
tribution of tomato and
pepper seedlings early in
the growing season so that
food pantry clients with
the space to have a plant or
two would have an ongoing
source of fresh produce in
the summer months. Plants
were donated by Kopke's
Gr eenhous e and K&A
Greenhouse.
At the most recent food
pantry distribution day held
on Aug. 29, fresh produce
was available in quantities
large enough so that every
food pantry client left with
a variety of fresh items.
Ac c o r d i n g t o Ke p-
pl i nger , t he ef f or t has
been personally reward-
ing beyond what she ever
expected.
So many people have
stepped up to make this
happen it is wonderful
to see people who them-
selves enjoy fresh produce
and want their neighbors to
have access to it as well,
she said.
Local gardeners con-
tinue to drop off their gar-
den surplus. Large quanti-
ties of produce have been
donated by Tomato Moun-
tain Farms and Old Stage
Vegetable Garden, both of
Brooklyn. The garden and
hoop house at the Oregon
Mi ddl e School and t he
Oregon Community Garden
have also been sources of
donated produce. Donations
of locally produced bakery
items from Steiny Jos Bak-
ery of Brooklyn have been
a welcome addition.
Kepplinger, with the
help of volunteers, picks up
and distributes the produce
and bakery goods on the
food pantry day, so that the
regular Food Pantry volun-
teers can continue to focus
on the job of helping food
pantry clients obtain the
food staples offered at the
pantry. The fresh produce
initiative operates from
May through September.
Accordi ng t o regul ar
food pantry volunteer Dot-
tie Richardson, there were
a record number of cli-
ents and volunteers for the
August distribution day,
demonstrating that the need
for food assistance is still
strong despite the improv-
ing economy.
The issue of food and
housing insecurity in the
Oregon area will be the
topic of an Open Mic at the
Firefly Coffeehouse this
Thursday from 6 8 p.m.
Pantry: Record number of volunteers in Aug.
10, the chamber holds its
annual golf outing, and the
organization has planned a
Womens Expo for Oct. 15
in Oregon.
Knut son has smal l er
engagements that pop up
around the community,
as well. On Thursday, she
planned to attend a ground-
breaking for construction of
Headquarters Bar and Grill.
And she recently took in
another groundbreaking, for
Mueller Dentistry, in antici-
pation of Chad Muellers
new office building on the
west side.
Village officials have
been working closely with
Knutson and the chamber
on a couple of projects: the
design off the Jefferson
Street parking lot, which will
be refurbished this fall, and
the design and production of
parking maps for visitors to
downtown Oregon.
Were ironing out dump-
ster problems and have been
working with the village on
all that, she said, adding
that chamber members are
invited to a meeting about
changes to the parking lot on
Wednesday, Sept. 11.
Knutson said she and vil-
lage administrator Mike
Gracz have looked the
map all over and made a lot
of changes to it. We added
some more restaurants and
parking spots, and were put-
ting a blue line on the map
to show where there is street
parking, because we want
people to know that is avail-
able too.
The chamber is helping to
fund the map design and pro-
duction, although the details
of exactly how much and for
what service is undecided,
she said.
Knutson said a big goal
this year is to research the
hotel study and get that
back in the forefront.
I really want a hotel in
Oregon because theres so
much going on but no place
to stay, she said.
The chamber has also
teamed up with other local
entities, led by the Oregon
School District, on a project
called the Oregon Area Well-
ness Coalition.
Were trying to get
people out to walk and be
in the community and have
a healthy lifestyle, she
explained.
Earlier this week, in fact,
Knutson and Amy Miller,
Community Education and
Recreation Director for the
school district, presented the
concept to the Oregon Rotary
Club.
During all the activity,
Knutson and the chamber
continue to recruit new mem-
bers. She said the organiza-
tion has enlisted nine new
members since she began in
June.
And she continues to work
closely with village officials
and staff to better the com-
munity.
I do have to give hats
off to the village, she said.
Theyve been great to work
Knutson: Goal this year is to research hotel
study and get that back in the forefront
Fun and games

Joseph Zuehlke at the Kiser Park Shelter last week. The games are part of the Summer Playground
program put on by the Community Education and Recreation Department of the Oregon School
District.
