Pulling together for the future

OMS students lend muscle to forest restoration project

Tromping around the woods destroying perfectly good vegetation on school property during class time, no less would get most students in serious trouble. But nothing brings a smile to the face of Oregon Middle School teacher Daniel Howard like when his hearty group of volunteers tear asunder invasive buckthorn and honeysuckle roots left and right under the setting autumn sun. Their task is truly the hard part of a long-term project, joining the state,

village and school in revitalizing an overgrown-but-promising 3.7-acre natural area on the schools western perimeter. As the unwanted brush has been slowly but surely battled back, the project is literally gaining visibility, as students have removed old railroad ties that marked a walking trail, as well as chunks of decades-old barb wire fence. Probably back in the day it was an old pasture, said the energetic Howard, walking out to the woods to work with a group of students earlier this month. Who knows with the subdivision and how it all happened, but that natural area grew all into a bunch of brush and invasive species.

Think spring
With the recent news that the natural area was approved to be designated a DNR-Approved School Forest, the project is taking on momentum heading into 2014. Looking ahead to winters thaw, OMS teacher Daniel Howard is putting together community work groups in the spring, pulling invasive shrubs and possibly planting some native species.

If its something you really want to do, youll make it happen somehow. It was those words of parental advice that rang in young Lou Kindschis ears as she dreamed of her future from a small dairy farm in Marshall. Since she was young, shed wanted to learn about the world and other cultures. When it came time to graduate from high school, shed worked and saved for college, promising herself to use the opportunity to travel abroad. She hasnt stopped since. Now coming up on a decade into a distinguished teaching career at Oregon High School, shes using her globe-trotting studies to help students find their way in an increasingly global society and workplace. The 2010 Wisconsin Council for the Social Studies Distinguished

High School Teacher of the Year, Kindschi in the past four years has traveled with students to Central America, earned an Academic Fellowship Study to South Korea, was named a U.S. State Department Teachers for Global Classroom Fellow and received Fulbright Scholar Program grants to develop curriculum about Rwanda and this past summer, India. I was able to make so many more connections to the world and what I was learning, she said.

India meets Oregon

The program was coordinated through the University of CaliforniaBerkeley, with only 12 educators throughout the nation chosen to participate in a semesters study of Religious Pluralism in India. It was an extraordinary opportunity, Kindschi said. Ive wanted to go to India for many years, and out of a lot of the places

Forest View becomes Norm Champion Memorial Park

On a sunny Sunday in October, Forest View Park, on the villages west side, was renamed after an important figure in Oregons recent past Norman Champion. Champion, who died in 2007 at the age of 88, was very involved in the villages social and civic life. More than two years ago one of his

daughters, Ann Benedict, contacted Jon Blanchard, who was then the chairman of the Park Board, to ask about the villages policy regarding naming parks and if the Park Board would consider renaming Forest View in honor of her father. Among other things, Champion was one of the founders of the Oregon Chamber of Commerce, where he served two terms as board of directors president. He was also elected to the

Village Board and served 12 years, including two terms as Village President. Blanchard, who stepped down from the board in April after 27 years, said the Park Board didnt have a specific policy and handled naming parks on a case-by-case basis. So before it could give Benedict an answer, the board wanted to create a policy. Her request sort of got us off the

Kindschi: Oregon High School teacher has traveled to India, Rwanda and southeast Asia
Continued from page 1 Ive traveled, Ive been preparing in some ways. India is such an incredible, complex culture, with a rich, rich history. To be ready to hit the ground running, Kindschi studied for weeks for the trip, including intensive preparation at Berkeley that began just days after she returned from a trip to Indonesia. After the India trip, she traveled on her own to Nepal to further explore the religions of Hinduism and Buddhism. It was quite an extraordinary summer for me, she said. It is an honor, because the people you are with on the trips have keen interest in the country and the topics youre studying, and you go place to place with experts in the field. Its just an incredibly rich learning experience it just generates such rich discussion and observation and reflection. Shes now using her experiences to explore units in her classroom on the use of water in religious ritual and Indias fabled Ganges River. When you write a grant proposal, youre also saying, How am I going to use this information? Kindschi said. This weekend, she worked on an upcoming unit of study about the Ramayana, an Indian epic take with religious significance. Students will consider who their heroes are, and how we grow to identify with cultural heroes, she said. We study the role that rituals play in teaching and reinforcing values and beliefs across the world. Kindschi will also talk to students about access to education across the world, and how that varies across cultures, as well as gender inequality as it relates to pay and opportunities in other countries. Students may not realize their teachers have lived or worked abroad, so its really great for them to be able to hear from people they spend their days with, that its not as unusual as you might think, she said. Kindschi has certainly been to her share of unusual places, from Southeast Asia and Central America to the jungles of Rwanda. There, she studied how a society recovers from genocide as part of a Fulbright study (according to the United Nations, perhaps 800,000 people were killed in 1994). It might not be the first place most people would grab a flight to, but Kindschi knew better. Rwanda is really a dynamic country right now, theres a lot of investment going on, she said, noting its now considered one of the safest countries in Africa for tourists. A surprisingly less stressful encounter in Rwanda was with a troop of mountain gorillas, fulfilling a lifetime dream. Ive always wanted to see the great apes in their natural habitat, Kindschi said. It was really breathtaking, and absolutely fascinating to be up that close. I never felt in danger at all. They are very gentle and really quite passive, actually, when you get really close to them. For her future travels, Asia particularly East Asia is a place where shes barely scratched the surface. Europe received so much from Asia in its own developments, and the Middle East is not really recognized by our students in terms of art, music, food

Global citizens

The lesson will surely be melded into one of many Kindschi has for her students, both in the classroom and as the schools Diversity Club advisor. She said learning about diversity is important regardless of where you live, whether in small-town Oregon or Bombay, India. You will have contact from people from around the world who might have different faith, ideas, traditions and perspectives, Kindschi said. The world is coming to us, and its important that all of our students challenge themselves and also learn where and how they can become more informed about the rest of the world its diversity of abilities, diversity of nationalities and cultures, so its very broad term. When we talk about diversity, were learning about others, and we become more rich in the process. The idea of global citizenship is an initiative at the high school, and a speakers forum every other week lets students hear from experts on international topics, exchange students and others. Last week, students explored various Thanksgiving traditions around the world, including in China and Brazil.

and motifs, Kindschi said. Students sometimes think all of these things came from Europe.

Paying it forward

Kindschi, who has undergraduate degrees in Sociology and Spanish from UWMadison and is also a graduate of the UW Law School (international law/mediation), was in law school when she started volunteering at the Oregon School District, where her son was in school. Impressed with the teachers and their dedication, she noticed her career interest take a sharp turn. I really felt like education was on the front end of investing in society in a positive way a lot of law is dealing with life after events have occurred, Kindschi said. I enjoy teaching and I enjoy learning, so its a perfect

marriage. I realized I could continue to grow for my own edification, but also to bring it into the classroom and hopefully inspire my students to become more global. Many of those students have gone on to study abroad or to work internationally, which she said is very rewarding. I tell kids, Any place you go ends up being the most fascinating place you imagine, Kindschi said. The more you can delve into other culture, the more thats being revealed to you in traditions, art, food, stories ... its fun to stay in contact with them to see it come to fruition. Taking some time this school year to catch her breath in Oregon for a while, Kindschi said its comforting to know she can keep applying for grants and opportunities that will

let her continue traveling and teaching, wherever around the planet that leads. I felt really supported by the district, and that does mean a lot right now, she said. OHS Principal Kelly Meyers said the school is fortunate to have someone so committed to 21st century experiences, with the willingness to share them with others. (Kindschi) affords students rich visual and verbal presentations to help them shape their own thoughts about what it means to live in a global society, Meyers said. Shes passionate about global studies and Im not sure there is an area of the world she has not traversed and brought back photos, artifacts and a deeper understanding of the importance of global citizenry.

Village of Oregon

Board approves revised Dumpster plan

BIll LIVICK
Unied Newspaper Group

Village of Brooklyn

Board approves 2014 budget

SCoTT GIRARd
Unied Newspaper Group

For the third time in less than two months, the Village Board has approved a plan to divvy the use of two Dumpsters in the Jefferson Street parking lot. The village invested about $17,000 in a concrete pad, fencing and a corral for the trash receptacles when it refurbished the parking lot in late September and October. But figuring out an arrangement for four South Main Street businesses to use and pay for the Dumpsters has been a problem. On Monday, the board decided to allow any of

the business owners that submit a letter of intent by Dec. 9 to use the Dumpsters, on a first-come, firstserve basis. The business owners Bonnie and Jerry Thiel, Greg DeBroux, Scott MacWilliams and Kevin Ace can all sign a letter together, or any individual could come forward with a letter and be responsible for the roughly $2,800 per year cost that the village plans to charge for the use of the facility. Village officials want the village to be repaid for its investment in five to seven years, administrator Mike Gracz said. The boards decision Monday reversed a plan approved at a Nov. 4

meeting that would have had the village in charge of leasing the Dumpsters to any business or property owner who signed an agreement to use them, and the village would have been in charge of arranging a contract with a waste hauler. But this week the board decided it didnt want the village in charge of providing the service and collecting the money from users on a monthly basis. So instead the board agreed with Trustee David Donovans suggestion that the village simply lease the Dumpsters to whoever signs on, and receive an upfront payment for the one-year term of the lease.

The board rejected a more complicated plan that village attorney Matt Dregne proposed in which the Dumpster corral would be divided into two sections, with a recycling and trash Dumpster on each side. The Thiels and DeBroux agreed there would not be enough space in the corral to divide it and have room for four Dumpsters. Ace, owner of the Main Tap, said the cost of the Dumpster corral seemed very high, but suggested the parties should all get together, have a beer and figure this out. The plan is to take effect Jan. 1.

Oregon man charged in death of 5-year-old boy in Sun Prairie

An Oregon man was arrested and charged in the October death of a 5-year-old boy in Sun Prairie. Dakota Black, 24, was charged with first degree reckless homicide in the Oct. 22 death of his girlfriends 5-year-old son, Brayden Turnbill, according to a criminal complaint filed in Dane County Circuit Court. He made his first court appearance Nov. 15, and his bail was set at $100,000, online court records show. According to the complaint: Black and his girlfriend had been staying at a friends house in Sun Prairie for around a month when the incident occurred, and Black was the only adult home at the time. The boy came home from school with a friend and asked Black if he could go play at a neighbors house. He returned soon after and went downstairs to lie down. Blacks girlfriend arrived home from work along with the homeowner around 45 minutes later, and heard gurgling noises coming from the basement when she walked downstairs. When she found her son lying on his bed and could not wake him, they called 911. Police noticed bruising on the boys chest area, and the mother said when she dressed him for school that morning the marks had not been present. Detectives asked Black how Turnbill got hurt, and Black responded I dont know but the way he is on my watch. After detectives asked what that meant multiple times, Black said whatever happened on my watch and I am responsible during follow-up questioning. Dr. Barbara Knox, a child abuse pediatrician at the University of Wisconsin Childrens Hospital, where the boy was brought initially and died two days later, determined the boys injuries were diagnostic of child maltreatment. An autopsy showed the child died from blunt trauma to the head. Scott Girard

The Village of Brooklyn board unanimously approved the upcoming budget tax levy at its meeting Nov. 11 after no public discussion. The final levy was set at $708,968. According to the meeting minutes, the board spent time discussing the movement of $46,451 from the general fund to capital projects. Of that, $25,064 will go to the streets budget, and the rest is part of the general capital projects fund with no specific designation. The board also heard from a representative from the Oregon Senior Center, and discussed why the villages payment to the center increased from just over $13,000 in 2013 to $19,280 for the upcoming year. Rachel Brickner from the senior center told the board the increase was due to an additional staff member added as well as an increase in each case managers hours to pre-2011 levels, according to the minutes. In addition, a new funding formula takes localities usages into account, which it did not in the past. Brooklyns usage has increased to between 7.8 and 8 percent of the centers usage compared to 3 percent in the past, Brickner told them.

The board had previously set a limit of $14,000 on the payment to the senior center, but changed the limit to $19,238 based on the information presented in the meeting. The final major discussion point, according to the minutes, was with Police Chief James Barger, who talked with the board about getting the old squad car into usable shape. Some board members questioned the necessity, but Barger said it is important for the department to have a backup car. To make it usable, a new radio and data terminal will be installed. The radio will cost around $5,800, and Barger expects a grant to cover the data terminal. Village deputy clerk Kimberly Brewer said they have not set an exact date for when property tax bills will be sent out yet. She also said the first installment of payments will be due Jan. 31, with the second installment due July 31, if residents select the installment plan. Brewer said residents can expect to see the usual information sent along with the tax bills, which includes information on making payments, pet licensing and other things going on in the village.

Letters to the editor

School board must focus on safety

I attended one of four public input meetings regarding a possible school district referendum. I agree with the Nov. 14 Oregon Observer article Safety First. When attendees at this meeting were divided into five discussion groups, independently, without fail, each group reported that safety of precious students and staff is of primary importance, regardless of any other referendum issues. A second point was the desire of citizens to know the costs of individual aspects of any prospective referendum. The community wants a breakdown rather than being asked to vote yes or no to one large package that includes everything from soup to nuts. A third point was the need for more opportunities for input from parents, students, teachers, and citizens with no children in school. I agree with board member Rae Vogeler, who stated in the Nov. 14 article, People were engaged. Sure, wed like more I saw it as the beginning of the process. The meeting I attended included 15 to 20 talkative citizens. That was a good turnout, considering short notice and minimal advanced publicity. One participant, a former Oregon teacher, said he would have been afraid to speak up at such a meeting two years ago, but now that he works in a different district, he feels free to participate. With school districts in the business of educating students, administrators and board members should know that it takes time, effort, and repeated messages to educate the community about referendum issues. A school district that genuinely wants community input will find ways to encourage that input. It is disingenuous of school board member Steve Zach to say he was disappointed in the turnout for the four sessions, noting that 42 residents and 11 staff members participated. Zach did not attend the Fitchburg session that I attended, and he did not attend the other three sessions either. It is nervy of Zach to criticize the community for apathy, when he wasnt there to hear what the citizens had to say. I commend school board member Rae Vogeler for attending all four sessions. The school district must focus on safety now and postpone any broader referendum for another year. A huge package of all or nothing is not what the community wants; that type of referendum failed last time. We need more time to discuss and prepare for a broader referendum or preferably a few smaller referendums from which the voters can choose. Susan Shedivy Fitchburg

Scott Walker. Of that, the South Central Library System received $2 million through a formula that factors in population and service area. In 2012, more than 11.8 million books (and other library materials) were checked out by area residents from our 43 LINKcat libraries.

At a conservative estimate of $25 per book, (averaging the price of everything from paperbacks to reference books) this direct traffic represents $260 million in value to patrons for this service alone because they can borrow books instead of purchasing them. Then there are technology services like email, text and telephone messages that notify customers when their library materials are available. Those alone saved member libraries hundreds of thousands of dollars in postage and printing costs last year from the nearly 3 million messages that were sent instead of mailed. SCLS also funds and maintains central Internet access and e-mail for member libraries;

At a total cost of $875,000 in 2012, the cost to send an item from one library to another within SCLS is only 14 cents. Finally in 2012, more than 1,077 members from all types of libraries attended 52 continuing education programs SCLS produced last year. All webinars are recorded for later viewing, and the 105 recordings have been viewed 10,112 times since February 2009. Working together through system membership, the impact of library resources and services is enhanced and magnified to help serve all residents of the seven-county area. Systems and their member libraries have always been on the cutting edge with cooperative agreements and resource sharing which greatly reduces duplication of services. The relationship between OPL and the SCLS helps ensure we are able to provide quality programs and services to our residents, which is the mission of our system and the library. It is a dynamic relationship that has grown over the past 30 years, and one that will serve us well as we continue to meet the needs and wants of our customers. The library has a great deal to be thankful for. As we leap into 2014 I hope you will continue to use the services of your local library. We are here to be of assistance in helping you find the information you need. Susan Santner is the director of the Oregon Public Library.

Reining in their talent

Sisters JoAnn and Brooke Ace take their talent of horse showing beyond the pasture
KIMbERLY WETHaL
Observer Correspondent

Theres no such thing as horsing around when it comes to sisters JoAnn Ace-Schraufnagel and Brooke Ace and their passion for showing horses. Competing in the Morgan Grand National and World Championships on Oct. 17-19, both took home awards, with Ace winning the Youth Challenge and the Green Rider competition, and Ace-Schraufnagel becoming the youngest competitor to win the world championships in the pro category, a class reserved for those who teach and train. Ace-Schraufnagel also won the Open Grand National Free Style class, and Ace won Reserve Champion Non-Pro Free Style and placed in the Non-Pro World Championship Top Ten. This year marked the 40th anniversary of the event, which is held in Oklahoma City each year. The competition takes hundreds of hours of preparation and is done months ahead of time. Ace started training right after she finished showing at the Dane County Fair the past two years. Its like an athlete training, said Dee Ace, the sisters mother. You cant just decide a week or a month ahead of time that youre going to compete. Thatll hurt the horse. Brooke Ace said she went riding every day after school for three or four hours during the months leading up to the championships. It really impacts your social life, she said. Brooke Ace, age 13, is an eighth grader at Oregon Middle School and belongs to the Oregon Headliners 4-H Club. Ace-Schraufnagel is 24 and married, but still finds time to ride. The class the two sisters compete in a is called reigners, and the competitors in this category tend to be a lot more friendly and a little less intense than many others in attendance at the championships. People there can be rude, Brooke Ace said. They want to be the best of the best. They can be really high-tech they dont even let their horses see

other horses. The reigners just let the horses be horses, she said. The intensity of the competition isnt just limited to the competitors themselves, but to the performance itself. The riders start off with a score of 70, and are either rewarded or deducted a half-point for doing exceptionally well or making penalty mistakes that many watching would look at as miniscule. A penalty would be (something like) the horse opening his mouth, Brooke Ace said. Riders are required to perfectly perform one of 12 pre-determined patters that include maneuvers such as spins and sliding stops, where the horse abruptly comes to a halt during the routine. The horse is also required to go at every fast speeds; one misstep from the rider or the horse will lead to the teams score being an automatic zero. Many horse shows judge either on the rider or on the horse, Brooke Ace said. This one judges on both and how well you work together. Even the simple act of going the wrong direction can bring a poor grade to a

performance. You might accidentally go right instead of left, Dee Ace said. Thatll disqualify a rider. Ace-Schraufnagel made her first trip to the championships at the age of 16 back in 2005, and the Ace family has gone each year since. This year marked Ace-Schraufnagels eighth year of competing, and Brooke Aces second. Let me tell you, the first year JoAnn rode and did this, I was petrified, Dee Ace said. When those horses start doing some of those spins and they get running really fast or doing those sliding stops, its really different when youre there watching versus watching it on TV or video. I was little on edge last year because it was Brookes first year. Brooke was only 12. Thats a lot for a 12-year-old to undertake. She was really scared this year, Brooke Ace said. No matter how their girls do at the national and world championships, Dee and her husband Wayne will always be pleased with their girls accomplishments. Were proud of all our kids with the stuff they do, Dee Ace said. They take a lot of pride and put in a lot of hours were always very proud.

The Spiritual Gift of Administration

In Pauls first epistle to the Corinthians he ranks various offices of the church: God has appointed in the church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, then healers, helpers, administrators, speakers in various kinds of tongues. (1 Corinthians 12: 28) From its beginning, Christianity was built on a foundation of helpers and administrators. Jesus appointed 12 disciples and sent them forth two by two, giving them explicit instructions about what to take and what to do. Jesus was Christendoms first administrator and it is clear that there was to be some organization. In the book of Acts we see the beginning of church administration in the period following Jesuss death and resurrection, and we also witness the beginning of divisions within the church, there being disagreements over the issue of circumcision and Jewish dietary law, for instance. There is considerable discussion of these issues in the epistles, but the important thing for us to realize is that there were people who were charged with organizing and leading their church communities, including resolving disputes within the church. We should consider whether we have a knack for organizational leadership and where it might fit into our churchs structure. Can we help our church with our organizational or administrative talents? Christopher Simon via Metro News Service Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood. Acts 20: 28

Monona Grove (8-4) shared the conference title with Stoughton last season. The Vikings bring back nine players, including All-State honorable mention junior forward Nick McGlynn, and are picked as the favorites to win the Badger South by the Wisconsin Basketball Coaches Association. The Vikings are ranked No. 10 in Division 2. McGlynn led Stoughton with 394 points, nearly averaging a doubledouble with 14.8 points per game and 9.9 rebounds. Senior PJ Rosowski (guard), who started with McGlynn, also returns. He scored 81 points last season. Two of the nine returners, seniors Tanner Kahl and Brady Brusegar, are out for the season with torn ACLs. Fort Atkinson loses the most out of Hocketts contenders with just 250 of 1,174 points returning. Senior scoring guard Alex Bakken is back. He was second on the team with 169 points. Senior guard Andrew Dahl collected 59 points for the Blackhawks. Fort Atkinson was tied for last in the conference with Milton (4-8) last season. Monroe (7-5) was second last season and loses its top four scorers, which combined for 893 of the Cheesemakers 1,210 points. Monroe does return seniors Charlie Kind (forward), Jake Hirsbrunner (guard) and Kylan Helmeid (guard). Kind had 98 points, while Hirsbrunner and Helmeid had 92 and 51, respectively.

Champion: Park renamed for Oregonian

Continued from page 1 dime on that issue, said current Park Board chair Daniel Olson. She made the request pursuant to that policy, and the Park Board agreed it met the criteria and we gladly granted the request and changed the name. Olson explained the board looked at policies from other municipalities. The criteria were the obvious kind of things, Olson said, including people of distinction in the community. Norm Champion certainly qualified for that category, Olson said. In 1964, he was one of six businessmen to found the Oregon Chamber of Commerce. He was also a founder and longtime member of the Oregon Rotary Club. In 1983 he was the clubs first member named as a Paul Harris Fellow. (Paul Harris founded Rotary International in 1905.) Champion also was a member of the fire department for 22 years and served six years as its assistant chief. He was also a local businessman who started and ran Oregon Heating and Air Conditioning with his brother-in-law, Earl Gransee, for almost 30 years. In 1971, the chamber named Champion the villages Small Businessman of the

Year. Champion was also a lifetime member of St. Johns Lutheran Church, served as president of the Oregon Area Historical Society, was a Master of Oregon Masonic Lodge No. 151 and a patron of Oregon Eastern Star. Champion married Pauline Gransee and together they raised three daughters. As one of those daughters, Benedict noted the words about her father engraved on a plaque at the new park: Friend to all; Service to many. She said those words were truly fitting to remember and honor her dad. He was a friend to all,

she recalled. If you walked into a room and didnt know who he was, you would by the time you left. He would always go up and introduce himself, and it didnt matter who you were. He treated everyone the same and was very well liked by just about everybody. He was a huge promoter of Oregon, she added. He had the idea for the Booster Band and was in it. These guys would dress up and go to play all over to promote Oregon, and they started the Summer Fest. His wife, daughter and granddaughter and great grandchildren attended the Oct. 13 ceremony renaming the park.

Forest: Oregon Middle School students work to remove invasive species near school
Continued from page 1 For years, the area had sat vacant and overgrown, but during the summer, the village installed a new drainage system, giving the effort a pathway to success. It used to be all cattails and it was disgusting, but now when they play football or soccer games here, people can come up here and actually watch, he said. Its really been a collaborative effort. Taking the idea further, teachers proposed creating an outdoor classroom. The project officially got off the ground last year, when staff applied for and received a $5,000 DNR grant through the village, which they have to match with volunteer labor. Thats where the students and Howard hopes eventually community members can lend a hand. When students stay after school, thats $9 an hour local people we get to bill out at $25, he said. So we keep track of all that labor. Eighth-grader Owen Boyer knows a thing or two about maintaining the outdoors he has his own lawn care business. Hes also been a very visible presence working on the project, pulling more than his share of unwanted buckthorn and honeysuckle. I like the work more than the study, so I just come out here and mess around and pull up weeds, he said. I get out as much as I can. Ive come out after school and done stuff. Hes giving back to his community, and he doesnt even know it, Howard kidded Boyer with a wide grin. Yeah, he knows it. with the Dane County Forester to identify trees to be trimmed and to cut, as part of an overall management plan. This way, we can manage it to last a long time, Howard said. Weve got a good variety of oaks, some nice cherries, some shagbark hickories. Now its about how to manage them so they dont grow and run into each other. With the grant money secured, the project is now in the second of three phases in what could be a decade-long project, he said - getting rid of all the invasive species. Workers will start planting replacement foliage in the spring in areas already cleared out, but Howard said it will take years before everything is finished. Were working small, starting in one area and trying to get it all taken care of, and then well slowly work our way up, he said. Because next year, well have to come back here and clear it up, because you miss spots, or seedlings drop. Once the work gets close to neighboring houses, Howard said the school will reach out to them to make sure everyone is on the same page with the project. He said a letter was sent out this week to apprise everyone of the plans. We want it to be native (vegetation) back there, but also so they still have their privacy, Howard said. We want to work with the community members, and if they want to come work and help, we want them here.

Sweat equity

Working together

While the woods have valuable trees like oaks, hickory and black cherry, for years theyve been systematically chocked out by seemingly endless thickets of garlic mustard, honeysuckle, buckthorn and other unwanted foliage. The neglected area came up several months ago when Howard, who teaches technology education, was chatting with a group of science teachers about what a shame it was the area had become so

overrun with invasive species. Every spring for the past several years, students have gone out to pull garlic mustard, but the efforts didnt accomplish much, and the area was left mostly unused. The science teachers wanted to use it, but couldnt even

get to it because of the overgrowth. Howard was at a parentteacher conference when a students father who works for the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) suggested the area be revitalized with walking trails.

Before any grand plans must come quite a bit of hard work, though, and likely several years of it, Howard said, and students like Boyer have answered the call. Working during their study hall time with work gloves and large weed wrenches, they have become living terrors for any invasive plants unlucky enough to lie in their path. This was the first year to buy the weed wrenches, and they are just unbelievable tools that are able to pop these buckthorn and honeysuckle out, he said. If you dont get the root system, theyll come right back. Anything thats green right now, theres a good chance its invasive. The school is also working

Once the project is completed, Howard said there are many things that could be done to help students and the community, from walking paths to an outdoor classroom. We want this to be part of the seventh-grade life science curriculum, with plants and the processes of science, he said. Some day we could harvest trees, we could have a sawmill, a solar calendar out there - the ideas are endless. This is just the beginning. Were getting kids active in a different setting than a traditional classroom. Oregon Middle School principal Shannon Anderson said school staff are excited about the educational opportunities the woods area will provide students. Through the dedication of our staff and community members, our students will have interdisciplinary, handson, and collaborative learning opportunities in this space for years to come, she said. Howard thanked village officials, including president Steve Staton, for their support on the project, as well as Nathan Mahr, Tim Paneitz, Jason Synes and Jim Pliner, who helped write the grant along with Howard and Staton. He said it is truly a community effort. (DNR employee) Mark Guthmiller met with us last Wednesday for about two hours about what we need to plant in the spring to replace this - and hes doing this on his own time, Howard said. Its fun, its exciting, and its all about the kids when its all said and done. Theyll be able to come by in 15 years, and say, I had a hand in starting this. This is not just for the middle school; this is for the community.
