Walking into school on her
first day at Oregon High School
several years ago, Madi Klonsin-
ski had no idea what to expect.
But by the end of the first hour,
she knew she would be a part of
a club that would change her life.
The class was Leadership
and You, taught by marketing
teacher John Curkovic, who is
also the schools DECA adviser.
The group, formerly called the
Distributive Education Clubs of
America, is an international orga-
nization of marketing students.
That morning, he only brief-
ly explained what the group
was about, but Klonsinksi was
instantly intrigued, and in the
coming months, she began to
learn more.
Now a seni or, Kl onsi nski
has been recently selected to
be the first DECA vice-pres-
ident of event management,

bracelets are very popular with ele-
mentary students this school year,
and Lori Lovells fourth-grade class
at Netherwood Knoll Elementary
decided to turn the students love
for making and wearing the brace-
lets into a service project to help
others.
Students worked together to cre-
ate a plan to purchase and make a
few hundred bracelets, then created
posters to put up around their school
and made a flyer to send home to
their third- and fourth-grade class-
mates. Students sold the bracelets
during lunch and recess, collecting
more than $300 as well as several
dozen bracelets to UW send to
Childrens Hospital in Madison.
Lovel l s ai s s he was ver y
impressed and proud her students
thought of others and their needs,
as well as the teamwork they dis-
played.
It was exciting to watch them get
other students on board, she said.
The whole class worked together
and used their various abilities to
complete this project. Some jumped
into leadership roles and taught
their classmates how to make the
bracelets and others used their skills
to create flyers and posters.
Fourth-grader Hope Flitter said
she thought the fundraiser was a
spectacular idea as well as a lot of
fun for the students.
It was a really good experience
for not just me but my whole class,
she said. I believe that giving to
the hospital is a generous idea.
Those kids really need help.

Year-round idea nears public stage
Netherwood Knoll group almost done researching pros, cons

School all year?
The thought might seem foreign at first
no more three months of summer vaca-
tion for students and teachers.
But taking a closer look at a year-round,
or balanced schedule makes good sense
to Oregon School District administrators
and staff, who are researching the idea and
will soon ask for community input on hav-
ing classes at Netherwood Knoll Elemen-
tary School every month of the year.
Year-round school doesnt mean more
school days, but rather an adjustment of
schedules. In theory, the calendar could
include several breaks of three weeks or
more.
According to the National Education
Association, the most popular form of
year-round education is the 45-15 plan,
in which students attend school for 45 days
(nine weeks) and then have 15 days (three
weeks) of vacation, not including holidays.
Calendars can also follow a 60-20 or
90-30 schedule.
In a memo sent to the school board
last year, Netherwood Knoll staff cited
research showing that year-round school
can improve grades and lead to better
attendance, fewer disciplinary problems

Burst pipe closes
Walgreens for hours
SCOTT GIRARD

Janis Story-DeBoer did
not expect to have a story
to tell before shopping at
Walgreens last Wednesday
afternoon.
But by the time she left,
a sprinkler head had burst
in the front entrance and
everyone was evacuated
from the store.
I said Im going to take
some pictures because no
one will believe me, the
Brooklyn resident told the
Oregon Observer.
The Oregon Fire Depart-
ment was called to the scene
around 1 p.m., Oregon Fire
Capt. Tony Antoniewicz
told the Observer.
The water was contained
in the front entryway and
no damage occurred, a Wal-
greens customer service
employee told the Observ-
er.
DeBoer said she first
heard a whoosh of water
while in the middle of the
store, and then heard an
employee near the front
of the store say oh my
gosh, oh my gosh before
employees decided to evac-
uate everyone through the
back exit of the store.
It looked like a giant
shower room, DeBoer said
of the entryway. There
was probably a good foot of
water. It was quite chaotic.

Longtime Oregon insurance broker Hagstrom sells business, retires
BILL LIVICK
Unied Newspaper Group
Village of Oregon native
Charlie Hagstrom has retired
after 30 years in the insur-
ance business, but his former
policyholders wont have to
travel far to visit the office
that purchased Hagstrom
Insurance.
The office of William
R. Torhorst & Associates,
located at 104 N. Main St. in
downtown Oregon, is direct-
ly across the street from 113
N. Main St., where Hagstrom
Insurance had operated since
the early 1960s.
Hagstrom joined his father
as a broker at the Hagstrom
Agency in downtown Ore-
gon in 1984. He operated the
business until Jan. 1, when
he sold it to fellow insurance
broker Bill Torhorst.
Back in the beginning
when this (negotiations)
started, Charlie said he wants
to keep this as low-key as
possible, Torhorst said.
Weve mailed out letters to
all the policyholders.
His dad started the busi-
ness and the best part is, its
not leaving town, Torhorst
added. Local service, local
flavor, local people that
was very important to Char-
lie and to me.
Hagstrom said the agency
was actually started by the
late Bill Dunn, whose son
eventually ran the business
until he sold it to Hagstrom
in the early 60s, before
moving to New Mexico.
Its in the fourth gen-
eration of ownership, Hag-
strom said of the business.
Torhorst and Hagstrom
have been longtime friends,
so Hagstrom selling to his
former business competitor
made perfect sense. He said
it was more like a merger
than actually selling the busi-
ness.
Bill was the natural buy-
er, Hagstrom said.
Torhorst has been in the
insurance business since
1978 and has operated an
office in Oregon since 86,
he said. He has three full-
time employees.
We understand that we
are employed and have jobs
because local people do busi-
ness with us, he said. We
truly appreciate that, and we
are all about customer ser-
vice.
In retirement, Hagstrom
plans to spend more time
with his family enjoying
their cabin in northern Wis-
consin, where he is an avid
ice fisherman and outdoors-
man.

Village of Oregon
Board recycles downtown Dumpster issue
New plan for
Jefferson Street
parking lot
BILL LIVICK
Unied Newspaper Group
It s become di ffi cul t
to keep straight the vari-
ous plans for using Dump-
sters in the Jefferson Street
parking lot that the Village
Board has approved and
later discarded over the past
three or four months.
The latest plan that won
the unanimous approval
of the board at Mondays
meeting looked similar to
ones that have been consid-
ered before.
Since late last summer,
trustees have grappled with
t he quest i ons of whi ch
South Main Street busi-
ness owners coul d use
the Dumpsters, where the
Dumpsters should be locat-
ed, how many Dumpsters
should be allowed, how
they should be arranged
inside the Dumpster cor-
ral that the village had
built, and how the costs
of both hauling trash and
repaying the village for its
investment should be div-
vied up.
At least some of those
questions were answered
Monday.
The board took the advice
of Masons on Main owner
Jerry Thiel and will allow
just two Dumpsters in the
corral one for trash and
one for recyclables.
Thiel argued that the cor-
ral is not big enough to hold
more than two Dumpsters
and still allow reasonable
access for trash haulers.
The corral presently holds
four, which is why the two
receptacles Thiel uses for
his business, Masons on
Main, have recently been
left outside the corral, pos-
sibly impeding the flow of
traffic in the lot.
The board also agreed on
a $520 yearly fee for use
of the Dumpsters and cor-
ral much reduced from
the $2,800 per year fee that
was part of a plan adopted
in early December, and then
abandoned as unworkable.
Village officials initially
set the price high in hopes
of getting a five-to-seven
year payback of the vil-
lages $17,000 investment
i n bui l di ng a concr et e
Dumpster pad enclosed by
the corral and fencing.
The board also decided
to allow the business own-
ers to determine who would
pay Advanced Disposals
fee of $325 per month for
twice-weekly trash hauling,
and how much each would
pay.
A plan similar to the
one adopted Monday fell
apart in November when
DeBrouxs owner Greg
DeBroux objected to using
Advanced Disposal and
instead insisted on the trash
hauler hes used for years
Pellitteri which charges
$535 per month for hauling
trash twice a week.
Once again Monday, the
board directed village attor-
ney Matt Dregne to draft
a license agreement for
business owners to sign in
order to use the Dumpsters,
which are kept on village
property. Those who dont
sign the agreement will be
required to keep Dump-
sters on their own property,
which in hot weather create
odor and insect problems.
Dregne said before he can
write the license agreement,
he needs to know which
property owners and ten-
ants will be allowed to use
the Dumpsters.
Trustee David Donovan
agreed: I think we should
know whos going to use
it. Then we can amend the
agreement if somebody else
comes in.
The board adopted vil-
lage administrator Mike
Graczs suggestion that
business owners must sub-
mit the list of users by noon
Friday, so that Dregne can
draft the agreement and the
board can consider final
approval at its next meeting
on Monday.
More parking
lot issues
Commercial developer
Paul Lynch, who owns
properties next to the
parking lot occupied by
RX Automotive and Rec-
reational Concepts, asked
village officials Monday
to do something about
parking and traffic pat-
terns in the lot.
He said his tenants are
often blocked from hav-
ing access to the drive-
way because of delivery
vehicles parking along-
si de ot her del i veri es
instead of staying in the
loading zone. Lynch also
said tenants of apart-
ments above South Main
Street businesses, as well
as business employees,
randomly park in places
not designated for parking
and make navigating the
lot difficult, and at times
impossible.
He sent emails to staff
and board members with
photos that illustrated the
problem.
Village officials such
as public works direc-
t or Mark Bel ow and
police chief Doug Pet-
tit explained that for
years the lot had a one-
way traffic pattern. The
lot was redesigned and
refurbished in Septem-
ber and October and now
is designed for two-way
traffic. It also has a des-
ignated loading zone in
the lane closest to the rear
entrances of businesses
on South Main Street.
Pet t i t sai d busi ness
owners need to let deliv-
ery drivers know they
cant block the traffic lane
they have to stack in the
loading zone, even if they
have to walk a little.
Village President Steve
Staton suggested the vil-
lage install no parking
signs in areas not desig-
nated for parking as a way
to alleviate congestion.
Lynch also complained
about sur f ace r unof f
thats been gathering on
his property from the lot.
He said hes concerned
about oil and other con-
taminants from the lot
pooling on his property
and asked to meet with
village staff to find a
way to address the matter
before it becomes a seri-
ous problem.

Potential NSA intrusion
doesnt make a police state
I
ve been asking myself
whether I should be con-
cerned about the National
Security Agency specifically,
the federal agencys apparent
ability to monitor not only the
so-called meta-data of our
phone calls and emails, but the
actual content of messages and
calls, as well.
Is it good that the NSA can do
this, or not? I go back and forth.
Perhaps
its good if
the NSA, by
using this
information,
has prevented
terrorists from
attacking our
country, or
if it has pre-
vented foreign
governments
from stealing
our secrets, which is the NSAs
original mission. Perhaps its
bad if these actions represent a
fundamental shift in our under-
standing of our constitutionally
guaranteed rights to protection
from unreasonable searches and
seizures.
Another important question,
though, is whether this is a prob-
lem that I, or any other citizen,
can do anything about.
Few of us would object to any
of the traditional methods police
use to capture criminals or spies,
and keep us safe, because con-
stitutional protections and court
rulings largely spell out the lim-
its to which government can go.
But the rules have changed.
From what we read in the
press, the original assumption
of American justice inno-
cent until proven guilty has
changed, to one that is more
akin to the standards of the old
Soviet Union, where citizen
activities and movements were
tightly monitored and controlled
to serve the interests of the state.
But do we really live in a
police state, as some have sug-
gested? To look for an answer
to these questions, I started by
going to the official NSA web-
site.
Since it was formed in 1954,
the mission of the National
Security Agency has been to
prevent foreign adversaries
from gaining access to sensitive
or classified security informa-
tion; and to defeat terrorists and
their organizations at home and
abroad, consistent with U.S.
laws and the protection of pri-
vacy and civil liberties. Few
people would argue with the
importance of that mission, but
perhaps more is how the NSA
mission is carried out and how
new technological capabilities
have changed the nature of its
work.
What does seem true is that
the technical sophistication of
the NSAs surveillance project
has allowed it to go much far-
ther than anyone ever originally
imagined.
The NSA now has an unprec-
edented potential command of
our personal information. It has
the ability to use powerful com-
puters to collect the phone num-
bers of the people we call, the
frequency of the calls we make
to specified numbers, the num-
bers they call, and the length of
such calls, all in order to analyze
patterns of calling that can lead
to the possible identification of
networks of terrorists.
It has the ability to listen to
the content of the entire nations
phone calls. If I were to talk to a
friend about terrorism, it is pos-
sible but unlikely that the NSA
would know it and put us tempo-
rarily under the microscope.
However, according to recent
news report, the NSA searched
only around 300 phone num-
bers in 2012, and only those
of people suspected of com-
municating with foreign ter-
rorists (This Week magazine,
12/27/13).
In December, the mass col-
lection of data by the NSA (as
revealed by Edward Snowden)
was declared unconstitutional by
Judge Richard Leon. Judge Leon
called the collection of domestic
phone information Orwellian,
and other commentators chimed
in.
Daniel Ellsberg, the author
of the Pentagon Papers, and
William Binney, a former NSA
official who helped create the
electronic surveillance system,
have both made the claim that
we now live in a virtual police
state or that we are very close
to having such a state with little
effort on the part of authorities.
If we are living in a turn-
key police state, many of us
havent gotten the message.
I have asked a number of
people whether they have
become more careful about what
they say on the phone, know-
ing that its potentially subject
to government monitoring. No
one to whom I spoke has made
the slightest effort to change
his or her words or behaviors in
response to the NSA revelations.
I also asked people whether they
would feel uncomfortable mak-
ing political statements on the
phone, and, again, no one said
that theyd be afraid to do so.
I look out my window, and
nothing seems to have changed.
I drive around Oregon, and I see
a well-ordered, completely nor-
mal town, with citizens engaged
in completely normal activities,
unfazed by the NSA controver-
sy. Police states require fear; as
far as I can determine, we do not
currently live in a police state.
It seems to me that as long
as citizens exercise our rights
and insist that our government
respect them, there seems to
be no need for excessive con-
cern about imminent threats to
freedom from the NSA. There
are certainly other threats to
democracy, including the trend
toward corporate dominance of
campaign finance, and growing
economic inequality but that
is another issue.

Guidelines for election letters
Unified Newspaper Group is
proud to offer a venue for public
debate and welcomes letters to the
editor, provided they comply with
our guidelines.
Political endorsements and oth-
er election letters must be submit-
ted about two weeks before the
relevant election.
For the upcoming spring elec-
tion, letters related to the primary
must be received by Feb. 3 and
will be printed by Feb. 6.
General election letters need
to be submitted by March 17 and
will be printed March 20.
Other special rules apply during
election season.
Letters should be no longer
than 400 words. They should
also contain contact information
the writers full name, address,
and phone number so that the
paper may confirm authorship.
Unsigned or anonymous letters
will not be printed under any cir-
cumstances.
The editorial staff of Unified
Newspaper Group reserves the
right to edit letters for length, clar-
ity and appropriateness. Letters
with libelous or obscene content
will not be printed.
Unified Newspaper Group gen-
erally only accepts letters from
writers with ties to our circulation
area.
All letters to the editor should
be of general public interest.
Letters that are strictly personal
lost pets, for example will not be
printed. Letters that recount per-
sonal experiences, good or bad,
with individual businesses will not
be printed unless there is an over-
whelming and compelling pub-
lic interest to do so. Letters that
urge readers to patronize specific
businesses or specific religious
faiths will not be printed, either.
Thank-you letters can be printed
under limited circumstances, pro-
vided they do not contain material
that should instead be placed as an
advertisement and reflect public,
rather than promotional interests.
Language, quotations, facts
and research that are contained
in a letter but come from another
source should be attributed. Pla-
giarized material will not be pub-
lished. Chain letters will not be
printed, nor will letters already
published in another newspaper or
magazine.
Uni f i ed Newspaper Gr oup
encourages lively public debate
on issues, but it reserves the right
to limit the number of exchanges
between individual letter writers
to ensure all writers have a chance
to have their voices heard.
This policy will be printed from
time to time in an abbreviated
form here and will be posted in its
entirety on our websites.

achieving a goal she set
back in 2010 to attain a
state leadership post in
the organization. Its a
position she started work-
ing toward in the fall of
2012, putting together a
campaign by building a
portfolio of her academic,
extracurricular and volun-
teer achievements.
After a selection com-
mi t t e e ga ve he r t he
thumbs-up during an ini-
tial screening phase, she
was then invited to Madi-
son last February for addi-
tional review, and later a
state conference, where
she was a final candidate
for a state office. After an
agonizing and long pro-
cess, she was selected
an honor she said is both a
lot of work, but also a lot
of fun.
I am responsible for
hel pi ng pl an l ocal and
state events, setting the
state officer agenda, and
making sure everything
runs smoothly, she said.
Kl onski nski sai d t he
best part of becoming a
state officer has been the
chance to host the Cen-
tral Region Leadership
Conference in Milwau-
kee l ast mont h, whi ch
was of particular impor-
tance because it was the
first time in more than a
decade the event was held
in Wisconsin.
High praise
Ti m Fandek, educa-
tion consultant with the
Wi sconsi n Depart ment
of Public Instruction and
Wisconsin DECA char-
tered association advisor,
said Klonsinski demon-
strated outstanding pub-
lic speaking skills in front
of the more than 2, 200
attendees from around the
country at the conference,
and has accompl i shed
much i n her t i me wi t h
the organization, includ-
ing strategic use of social
medi a t o get feedback
from the states 10,000
member s on ways t o
improve upcoming events,
Because her position is
newly created, she is blaz-
ing a trail for all who fol-
low.
A l l o f h e r
a c h i e v e m e n t s a n d
accomplishments this year
will create a legacy for
our organization, he said.
While DECA is known
for its business emphasis,
Klonsinski said the group
al so i ncl udes commu-
nity service, networking
and building professional
skills that can be used
far beyond the marketing
classroom.
Being a DECA mem-
ber provides opportunities
the normal high school
student will never have,
she sai d. What real l y
sparked my interest was
watching the state officers
at my first district com-
petition command a room
of over two thousand with
leadership very few could
exhibit. In that moment I
knew I would eventually
be a state officer, too.
Dur i ng t he l ast t wo
year s, Kl onsi nski has
qualified and competed
at state and international
conf er ences, t r avel i ng
across t he count ry and
meeting thousands of
the leaders of the next
generation, all the time
building invaluable pro-
fessional skills.
True leader
Cur kovi c s ai d he s
s uper pr oud of her
for being so active and
involved during the past
few years.
Shes always displayed
the characteristics of a
dependable and respon-
sible young woman and
many positive attributes
of bei ng an i deal rol e
model in this school com-
muni t y and t he DECA
organi zat i on, he sai d.
As a marketing student
and state officer she has
been a leadership event
organizer, and a constant
volunteer for many causes
we have had her.
She is a model student
and thats an understate-
ment.
Curkovic said being a
DECA offi cer requi res
self-direction, self-moti-
vat i on and t he abi l i t y
to take on tasks without
di r ect i on f r om ot her s.
Citing her achievements
in making the OHS Hon-
or Rol l and success i n
DECA state competitions,
Curkovic said Klonsinski
has always taken pride in
her accomplishments with
a refreshing sense of
tenacity.
By far what separates
Madison from others is
her genuine enthusiasm
about taking on respon-
sibilities and leadership
activities, he said. Mad-
ison is the kind of person
people are drawn to and
cant help but respect. Her
ability to have such sin-
cere integrity and resolve
is inspirational. She also
has an amazi ng abi l i t y
to be a great negotiator,
dealing with difficult situ-
ations and making them
ri ght . As an observer,
Madison will successful-
ly take charge and make
those around her change
for the better as she dem-
onstrates a sincere con-
cern and caring for others.
Its been wonderful to
watch her grow.
Busy schedule
These days, Klonsin-
ski is keeping busy plan-
ni ng t he St at e Car eer
Devel opment Conf er -
ence in March design-
i ng T-shi rt s, searchi ng
for keynote speakers and
trying to make the con-
ference the best it can be.
She is also about to pub-
lish a Fundraising Action
Plan, which enables local
chapters to raise funds to
attend events for DECA.
At the same time, shes
studying and working to
qualify for a third time to
the international confer-
ence held in Atlanta in
May all this while she
waits to see where she
will attend college in the
fall.
A l ot t o do, but she
wouldnt have it any other
way.
DECA is about put -
ting yourself out there,
knowi ng maybe youl l
fail, maybe youll embar-
rass yourself, but youll
most likely succeed and
at least learn something
new about yourself, she
said. Its about building
those skills that you strug-
gled with before, trying
new things and finding a
passion. I have an undy-
ing love for DECA that
allows me to be involved
in things so much larger
than myself.

The Appendix
If you studied human anatomy twenty or thirty years ago, you
were probably taught that the appendix (or vermiform appen-
dixthe small wormlike pouch that hangs from the cecum
of the large intestine), was a useless structure, perhaps some
vestigial organ that served a purpose in our long-distant past. I
distinctly remember an argument some thirty years ago between
my father (who argued that it must have some purpose) and my
brother (who was in his first or second year of medical school,
and who argued that it had none that could be discerned). My
fathers argument was based on his belief that God would not
have created something without a purpose. He didnt necessar-
ily know what the purpose was, but there must be one. People
do just fine without one, my brother rejoined, and he asked,
furthermore, what is the purpose of eyebrows? To keep sweat
from getting in your eyes was my fathers answer, and wouldnt
we look pretty strange without eyebrows? Medical science now
believes that the appendix is a repository for the good bacteria
that colonize our intestines and which aid in all sorts of impor-
tant functions, from digestion to our immune system. So score
one for Dad, and the view that to everything under heaven there
is indeed a purpose. We may not always know that purpose but
should trust to Providence that there is one.
Christopher Simon via Metro News Service

for the day of trouble.

flashing lights and gates.
Gracz told the Village
Board in November that he
and public works director
Mark Below thought the
estimated $250,000 cost
to install gates and flash-
ing lights was unnecessary
because only two-to-three
trains per week will run on
the rail line. Instead, the
village wanted to install
crossbucks and stop signs.
The Wi s c ons i n a nd
Southern Railroad expects
to operate the trains to serve
Lycon Inc.s new ready-
mix concrete facility in the
business park when the line
is reactivated in the spring.
The line has been closed
since around 1997. At least
initially, trains will run only
from the Alpine Business
Park to Madison to serve
Lycon.
But the railroad commis-
sioners office foresees a
time when the line will be
activated south of the vil-
lage and serve more users.
In denying the villages
request, the railroad com-
missioner noted that the
crossing would have three
sets of tracks because of a
spur off the main line that
will reach into the business
park to serve Lycons pro-
duction facility.
Lycon is building a rail
spur off the main line so
that freight cars hauling
aggregate can reach its
plant in the business park.
The presence of mul-
tiple tracks is one of the
key factors warranting the
installation of automatic
flashing lights with gates,
the commissioners office
wrote in a letter to the vil-
lage.
In September, Gov. Scott
Walker approved a $2.29
million grant to reacti -
vate the 10-mile rail corri-
dor between McCoy Road
i n Fi t chburg and West
Netherwood Road in Ore-
gon in order to serve the
Lycon facility.
Trains running on the line
will be restricted to travel-
ing at 25 mph, and 20 mph
when reaching Braun Road
and the business park.
Given those speeds and
the number of trains that
will use the line, village
officials felt the order to
i nst al l aut omat i c fl ash-
ing lights with gates was
overkill, Below told the
Observer in November.
On Monday, Gracz told
t he Vi l l age Board t hat
while he didnt agree with
or want to justify the com-
missioners decision, he
did feel that if the village
would ever have to install
the warning devices, now is
a good time because the vil-
lage has the funds in its TIF
2 account.
The Alpine Business Park
is in the villages Tax Incre-
ment-Financing District 2.
The vi l l age was al so
ordered to raise the eleva-
tion of Braun Road at the
rail crossing by one foot.
When the village construct-
ed Braun Road in 2010, it
decided to build the road
with a surface elevation
slightly more than eight
inches below the existing
top of rail.
But Wi s c ons i n a nd
Southern Railroad wants
Braun Road to be about
four inches above the top of
the rail.
Village officials initially
objected to the change,
but Gracz told the Village
Board Monday the village
had withdrawn its objection
and that Lycon had agreed
to pay the cost of changing
the crossing elevation.

Sophomore guard Leah Koopman (middle), junior forward Riley Rosemeyer (left) and senior forward Katie Boehnen celebrate following a 69-64 win Thursday, Jan. 9, at
Oregon High School against Monona Grove. The win moved the Panthers into sole possession of first place in the Badger South Conference.
Panthers claw back
No. 10 Oregon erases
15-point deficit, defeats
No. 4 Monona Grove 69-64
ANTHONY IOZZO
Assistant sports editor
Time was running out on the Ore-
gon High School girls basketball team
last Thursday against Monona Grove,
and the No. 10 host Panthers needed a
spark as they trailed by 15.
That spark came off the fingertips
of senior guard Megan Brugger in the
third quarter, who nailed a 3-pointer
while being fouled. She later knocked
in the free throw and began a run
that pushed Oregon to a 69-64 win
to remain in first place in the Badger
South Conference.
I knew we were down, and I was
really excited because I knew we
needed the points to get back into the
game, Brugger said. I knew that
that gave us the momentum going
forward. In my head, I knew we had
the momentum now.
The 4-point play was just the
beginning for Oregon (9-2 overall,
5-0 Badger South). After a 20-8 run,
it was senior forward Maddy Gits and
junior forward Riley Rosemeyer who
took over. Gits, who scored 13 of her
team-leading 20 points in the fourth
quarter, drove to the basket for a score
and a foul with under three minutes to
play. Gits knocked in the free throw
to tie the game at 55.
After a Monona Grove (6-2, 2-2)
basket by senior guard Taylor Nelson,
Gits came right back with another
basket and a foul, though she missed
the free throw this time.
The Panthers got the ball back
twice and knocked in three free
throws, one by junior Rosemeyer and
two by Gits.
Rosemeyer then helped create
some separation with a basket from
a pass by Brugger and an offensive
put back to make it 64-59. Rosemeyer
scored 15 points.
The Panthers held on in the last
minute with free throws by sopho-
more guards Cassidy Nikolai and
Leah Koopman.

High School. The Panthers were edged 31-29.
Boys basketball
Defensive struggle comes up short
ANTHONY IOZZO
Assistant sports editor
The Oregon boys basketball
team was looking for a big win
Monday, coming into a makeup
game with Stoughton as one of
the last-place teams in the Badger
South Conference.
And although neither offense put
up huge numbers, the host Panthers
had their shot after coming back
from a 13-point deficit to go up by
one with 2 minutes, 38 seconds to
play.
But the comeback was for naught
in a 31-29 loss after a 3-pointer by
Stoughton senior PJ Rosowski and
a missed basket with time running
out by Oregon senior guard Jon
Conduah.
They turned it over a couple of
times, and we capitalized, head
coach Jon Nedlecoff said. That is
basketball. Hopefully once you get
over that hump, you can seal the
deal. But we didnt seal the deal.
It seemed like the Panthers (4-6
overall, 1-4 conference) had all
the momentum after senior guard
Shaw Storey drove into the lane for
a basket and a foul to tie the game.
Storey missed the free throw, but
Conduah later gave Oregon its first
lead since the first quarter with a
2-pointer to make it 27-25.
Stoughton senior Will Clark
(seven points) nailed a 3-pointer
to give the Vikings the lead back
at 2:58, but Oregon senior forward
Andrew McCauley made a putback
30 seconds later to make it 29-28.
After nearly two minutes of
scoreless basketball, including two
missed free throws by Stoughton
junior Nick McGlynn, Rosowski
worked to get open on the perim-
eter and drained the 3-pointer with
14.4 seconds left.
Conduah gave the Panthers a shot
to send the game into overtime by
working his way to the inside and
sending up an open shot, but the
ball hit the rim and shot to the other
side of the floor where Rosowski,
who scored nine points, secured the
rebound and was fouled.
They hit two threes. You tip
your hat, and you move on, Nedel-
coff said.
Defense was the main reason
why Oregon had that opportunity in
the first place, with players not only
challenging the ball handlers at the
perimeter but also by clogging the
paint and double and triple teaming
McGlynn.

We told them, Dont
let the other team dictate the
pace and be the aggressor all
the time. Go attack and make
things happen, head coach
Corey Sielaff said. We
believe in our rebounding.
That is a huge strength. We
have great size, and we just
have a knack for finding the
ball. At 15, we told them we
had to claw, and we did.
Senior guard Dani Iron-
monger, Nikolai, Koopman
and Brugger all had to help
in bigger roles than normal at
the end, as well. Senior guard
Kelsey Jahn fouled out with
5:04 left.
Jahn, who scored 11 points,
is the leading ball handler for
the Panthers and normally
takes the ball up the court and
helps set up the offense. But
with her on the bench, oth-
ers had to step up to fill that
role and handle the full-court
pressure of the Silver Eagles.
I think by her fouling
out it kind of gave us more
momentum because we knew
we had to push even more
without one of our starters in
the game, Brugger said.
That full-court pressure of
the Silver Eagles was similar
to the defense Oregon plays,
and it showed early as both
teams combined for 19 turn-
overs 13 by the Panthers
in the first quarter.
Despite the double-digit
giveaways in the first quar-
ter, the Panthers only trailed
15-13 after one, but 3-point-
ers by Kelsey and Stinson
helped the Silver Eagles build
a 10-point lead in the second.
Senior guard Kelsey Jahn
hit a 3-pointer to cut into that
lead, but Nelson scored with
time running down to give
Monona Grove a 36-27 lead
at halftime.
But after Bruggers 4-point
play, everything started to
click on offense for Oregon.
Gits, Nikolai and Jahn all
followed with baskets to cut
the deficit to eight, and Jahn
hit two free throws to cut the
Silver Eagles lead to 50-44
after three.
It helped that Silver Eagles
were also in foul trouble.
Seni or guar d Al exa
Kelsey, senior post Kaitlyn
Long, senior guard McKen-
zie Clary, junior wing Kelsey
Stinson, sophomore wing
Autumn Ogden and Nelson
all hit three or four fouls at
the start of the fourth quarter.
Ogden, Stinson, Clary and
Nelson all fouled out by the
end of the game.
We got the mismatches,
and that allowed our post to
get more to the outside, and
that allowed our guards, like
me and Megan and Cassidy
and Leah, to get on the inside
and really work the paint
too, Jahn said.
The Panthers came into the
game up a half a game and
left still in sole possession
of first place in the Badger
South. The start to this season
is the best Gits and the rest of
the seniors and juniors have
had in their Panthers careers.
I think that after this win,
our team is going to go into a
lot more games knowing that
we can actually get far in the
tournament. When any team
sees that we have beaten MG,
theyll be like, Oh wow,
this team is actually going to
put up a fight, Gits said. I
hope teams view us differ-
ently now that we are No. 1
in conference right now I
just really hope to get 2014
on that basketball banner, and
we are going to do it.

son with two non-conference
games this week. First, the
Panthers host Portage at 7:30
p.m. Friday. They then trav-
el to Jefferson at 7:15 p.m.

Lack of depth
sinks Panthers
JEREMY JONES
Sports Editor
Oregon/Belleville boys
swimming moved its Bad-
ger South Conference dual
meet against rival Stoughton
from Friday up to Tuesday to
accommodate a rescheduling
of the Panthers dual at Mil-
ton to this Thursday.
In doing so, the Panthers
avoided having back-to-back
conference meets later this
week.
Despite hanging with vis-
iting Stoughton throughout
much of Tuesdays meet,
the Panthers lack of depth
caught up to them in the
200-freestyle and 200-meter
individual medley.
Stoughton, which won
seven of 11 events, finished
1-2 in the 200 free and went
1, 3, 4 in the IM.
Other than those two
events, we pretty much
swam with Stoughton all
night, Oregon head coach
Scott Krueger said. Fin-
ishing races is obviously
somet hi ng we have t o
work on.
Freshman Jacob Larsen
and fellow underclassmen
Eli Rule, Jackson Marsden
and Josh Greene continued
to shine in the loss.
Larsen highlighted the
meet picking up individual
wins in the 100 butter-
fly (1:06.56) and 400 free
(4:44.56).
Larsen, Rule and Marsden
were joined by senior Brad
Rehrauer to take the 200
free relay in 1:50.90. Rule,
Larsen and Marsden opened
the meet with senior Sam
Phelps, taking the 200 med-
ley in 2:00.84.
Phelps was the only other
Panther individual to earn
a victory, taking the 100
breaststroke in 1:19.99.
The Panthers travel to
Milton 6 p.m. Thursday for a
conference dual rescheduled
from Jan. 7.
Lightning Invite
Larsen swam to the Pan-
thers top finish Saturday at
the Appleton North Light-
ning Invitational, taking fifth
place in the 100-yard butter-
fly in a season-best 59.42.
The Panthers top relay
finish came via the 200
free relay quartet of Rule,
Greene, Larsen and Mars-
den, which posted a 1:38.64
for sixth place.
Rule and Larsen both
finished seventh in the 100
back (1:02.01) and 500 free
(5:28.26) individually for the
Panthers.
James Lemke (200 free,
100 fly, 50 free, 100 free)
posted season-best in all
four of his swims Saturday
in Appleton, while Math-
ias Gregerson (50 free, 50
breast, 100 breast) and Sam
Phelps (50 free, 100 free,
100 breast) all posted three
best times in Appleton.
David Heim, Ben Kaep-
pler, Ryan McKirdy, Brad
Rehrauer, Jonas Temte
and Larsen each added two
season bests, while Josh
Greene, Ryan Wood and
Rule had one.
Krueger said several other
swims were just off best
times by tenths of a second.
The host Li ght ni ng
(484.5), Oshkosh West 370
and Ashwaubenon (356)
rounded out the top three
schools. Oregon finished
seventh out of 10 teams with
25 season best times.
This was a great test for
our young team, Krueger
said. After missing some
practice time at the begin-
ning of the week because
of the cold and a long trip
to Appleton the boys
responded to the challenge.

JEREMY JONES
Sports Editor
McFarland senior defense-
man Katie Glover scored a
pair of goals Tuesday as the
MSO Icebergs girls hockey
co-op skated to a 2-0 Badger
Conference win inside the
Mandt Community Center.
Stoughton forward Rachel
Dvorak and Monona Grove
defenseman Sara Wollin
assisted on both scores.
The victory improved
the Icebergs to 19-5-2 over-
all and 3-1-1 in the Badger
Conference, while the Rock
County Fury fell to 7-7-1, 1-3-
1.
Tonight was a good per-
formance for us after having
a postponed game, a canceled
game and a canceled practice
resulting in five days off,
Icebergs head coach Mike
Jochmann said.
Kenzie Torpy stopped 25
shots in the win.
The Icebergs travel to Viro-
qua Community Arena at 7:30
p.m. on Friday for a confer-
ence game against the Black-
hawks (0-7-0, 0-5-0) and then

Icebergs, Ice Bears
(canceled)
Fr i day ni ght s game
between the top-ranked Bay
Area Ice Bears (12-1-0) and
10th-ranked Stoughton Ice-
bergs was canceled due to
unsafe travel conditions.
No make-up date had been
announced as the Courier
Hub went to press on Tues-
day, though Jochmann said a
make-up game doesnt look
likely.
conference, Oregon travels to Hart-
meyer Ice Arena Tuesday, Jan. 28
for a game against the Silver Eagles
that could determine the outcome of
the Badger South.
Oregon returns to conference
action at 7 p.m. Thursday at McFar-
land (3-8-0, 1-3-0).
Mullet tournament
Senior captain Nick Strycharske
scored 11 minutes into the first peri-
od against the ninth-ranked Wauke-
sha Friday evening inside the Mullet
Ice Arena, but Oregon was unable
close out the Wings in a 2-1 loss.
Leading by a goal for nearly a
full 17 minutes, the Panthers proved
unable to get anything else past one
of the states top goalies in Wauke-
sha senior Jake Kupsky, who fin-
ished with 24 saves.
One of the states top scorers since
his freshman season, senior for-
ward Zed Dietrich took care of the
rest assisting linemate Joe Mason
on the game-tying goal before put-
ting Waukesha ahead for good eight
minutes later in the second period.
Neither team scored in the third
period as Oregons Jordan finished
with 28 saves.
Saturdays game against unranked
Arrowhead provided a completely
different result as the Panthers went
down 4-1.
Sophomore Dylan Ziomek scored
Oregons lone goal in the second
period, but it wasnt enough as the
Warhawks took control, lighting
the lamp three times in the decisive
period.
Jordan finished with 27 saves. No
Arrowhead stats were available as
the Observer went to press Tuesday
evening.
Oregon will make up its game
against third ranked Verona at 3:30

Senior Chad Walsh (160 pounds) dominates Fort Atkinsons Nate Krause last Friday in a Badger
South dual against Fort Atkinson at Oregon High School. Walsh won the match by technical fall,
16-1, in 4 minutes, 29 seconds. However, Oregon lost the dual, 48-26.
Panthers drop nine of 14 against Fort Atkinson
ANTHONY IOZZO
Assistant sports editor
The Oregon High School varsity wres-
tling team looked to do better in its Bad-
ger South dual against Fort Atkinson last
Friday than in its previous dual against
Mount Horeb/Barneveld.
And the host Panthers did despite fall-
ing 48-26 to Fort Atkinson.
Oregon won five of 14 matches, which
nearly doubled its wins from the Milton
match, and four of the five wins all had
bonus points.
Seniors Jawon Turner (126 pounds),
Will Frauchiger (145) and Chad Walsh
(160) and Andrew Nyenhuis (192) all
picked up wins alongside freshman
Chris Haggerty (106).
Haggerty, Nyenhuis and Turner all
had pins, while Walsh picked up a tech-
nical fall. Frauchiger had the line deci-
sion for the Panthers.
Haggerty pinned Brendan Kind in
3 minutes, 15 seconds, while Turner
pinned Tony Smith in 3:17.
Nyenhui s got t he fal l over Bret t
Dunkleberger in 1:38.
Walsh defeated Nate Krause 16-1 in
4:29, while Frauchiger edged Mitch
Brus 2-1.
Smith and Brus were both sectional
qualifiers last season. Frauchiger and
Turner did not make sectionals last year.
Oregon continues the season at 7 p.m.
at Evansville and then travels to Lake
Geneva Badger High School for the
Badger Invitational at 10 a.m. Saturday.
The Panthers then have two more dual
meets before the Badger Conference
tournament on Feb. 8.
Oregon travels to Stoughton at 7:30
p.m. Friday, Jan. 24, and it travels to
Milton at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 31.

Mad City Pond Hockey
Championships
The inaugural Mad City
Pond Hockey Championships
are set for Jan. 24-26 at the
Vilas Park Lagoon. The 4-on-
4 round robin tournament
features nine divisions from
squirts to seniors open.
Registration is $280 for
adult teams (four to seven
players), $240 for youth teams
and is still open up until the
tournament.
Modeled after the pond
hockey tournament in Eagle
River, which pulls in peo-
ple from 38 different states,
the Mad City Pond Hockey
Championship will take place
the weekend between NFL
championship week and the
Super Bowl.
Unlike Eagle River, the
Mad City Pond Hockey
Championships have a youth
division.
A Winter Carnival, with
bouncy houses, small carnival
games, hockey shooting lanes
and much more entertainment
to enjoy, will be held inside
the UW Carbone Cancer
Pancreas Cancer Task Force
tent, fully enclosed with heat.
One hundred percent of the
proceeds raised from the car-
nival will be donated to the
Pancreas Cancer fund.

porate donation, make a check

Boys BB: Oregon falls to 1-4 in the Badger South after back-to-back losses
McGlynn, who averages 16 points a game, was
held to just eight, while the Vikings as a whole
were held to 26.8 percent shooting from the field
(12-for-42).
The only problem was that Stoughtons
defense also limited the Panthers to tough shots.
Oregon shot 32.5 percent (13-for-40) from the
field.
I thought they were relentless at times and
really did a nice job with how they rotated it
defensively from when the ball got swung and
when we reversed it, Stoughton head coach
Matt Hockett said.
Another big discrepancy was the rebounds,
with Stoughton outrebounding Oregon 38-24,
including 9-3 on the offensive glass. Half
of McGlynns points came from offensive
rebounds. That coupled with a 4-1 advantage at
the 3-point line was enough to keep the Panthers
on the wrong side of the W-L column.
Sometimes you can play your best game and
it doesnt mean a W. Sometimes you play
a really bad game and can get the W. That is
life, Nedelcoff said.
Conduah led Oregon with 10 points, while
McCauley scored six.
Oregon continues the season at 7:30 p.m.
Thursday against Monroe. The Panthers then
travel to Randolph at 6 p.m. Friday before finish
the week at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at Milton.
No need to feel sorry for ourseleves, Nedel-
coff said. We play Monroe Thursday night, and
it wont be any different. We just have to find a
way to get into the left side of the win column.
Edgewood 53, Oregon 51
Oregon also lost a close game last Friday at
Madison Edgewood, falling 53-51.
The Panthers trailed by 10 at halftime but
clawed back to make it a game in the fourth quar-
ter. But once again, they couldnt finish the deal.
Sophomore guard Alex Duff scored 16 points,
while Conduah and McCauley added nine and
eight, respectively.

These districts are intended to
implement the urban design recommen-
dations of the Comprehensive Master
Plan by preserving and enhancing the
aesthetic qualities (historical and visual)
of the community, and by attaining a
consistent visually pleasing image for
various portions of the Village. As em-
phasized by said Plan, these districts are
designed to forward both aesthetic and
economic objectives of the Village by
controlling the site design and appear-
ance of development within the district in
a manner which is consistent with sound
land use, urban design, and economic
revitalization principles. The application
of these standards will ensure the long-
term progress and broad participation
toward these principles.
(2) Defnitions.
(a) cornice: The topmost projecting
portion of the entablature, or top portion
of a building. This term also refers to any
crowning projection of a building.
(b) header: A brick laid so that the
end only appears on the face of the wall,
as opposed to a stretcher, which is a
brick laid so that the side only appears.
(c) kickplate: A horizontal area on
the faade of a building located between
the sidewalk/entrance pavement and the
lowest storefront windows.
(d) sign band: A horizontal area on
the faade of a building located between

typically opaque and provides a location
for signage indicating the name of the
establishment.

or bottom of a door or window casing.
(f) transom: A horizontal bar of
stone, wood or glass across the opening
of a door or window.

dential purposes are excluded from the
provisions of this Section. All other de-
velopment applications or alterations
to sites or structures in the Downtown
Design Overlay Zoning District or the

and more positive well-
ness conditions for teach-
ers.
Furt hermore, Net her-
wood Knoll principal Dan
Rikli said, there is a criti-
cal mass of Netherwood
teachers who support the
idea. Now, if district resi-
dents have a large role in
deciding whether the dis-
trict gives it the green light,
and will be asked their
opinions in the coming
months.
Logi cal l y, i t makes
sense, but change is hard,
he said.
Stopping the slide
School officials started
meeting in July to look into
the possibility of a bal-
anced calendar, though
Rikli said the group is still
in the fact-finding stage.
Were looking at what
does research say about
it, what are other districts
doing, what do they like,
(whats) the impact on stu-
dent learning, the stress on
kids and staff? he said.
Ri kl i sai d one of t he
main motivating factors in
exploring a balanced calen-
dar is eliminating the dread-
ed summer slump, where
students lose some of what
theyve learned because
theyre away from classes
for nearly three months.
Last year, 40 percent of
Net her wood s t udent s
scores on readi ng t est s
between spring and fall. In
math, 44 percent of kids
saw their scores drop.
A second major factor is
the level of stress in schools
during the past few years,
relative to student achieve-
ment, he said.
School i s di f f er ent
than it used to be, Rikli
sai d We have a l aser-
sharp focus on st udent
achievement, and we do
see stress levels of children
and staff elevating because
of that. Would a differ-
ent calendar help alleviate
that? Some research says it
does.
To find some answers,
st af f have t al ked wi t h
school administrators in
Indiana, where the year-
round model has been com-
monplace for some time,
and are planning to travel
soon to Aurora, Colo., to
speak with school district
officials about their year-
round school calendar.
In Wisconsin, its rela-
tively new, but Indiana,
Iowa, Minnesota, Colorado,
its not that new of a con-
cept, Rikli said. Some
folks in Wisconsin are start-
ing to take a look at it, as
far as its merits.
Next steps
Rikli said the earliest
a change could be made
would be for the 2015-16
school year, providing a
years worth of planning if
OSD were to approve the
idea this fall. He said the
group will update the board
on its findings next month,
but just as importantly, is
planning some parent infor-
mational nights later in the
school year to invite people
to hear whats been discov-
ered and provide feedback
that will ultimately provide
the deciding factor whether
or not to make the change.
A website is also being
developed to provide infor-
mation.
Based on whether or not
the community as a whole
can support this that will
determine whether we rec-
ommend it to the board,
he sai d. Once we get
some communication out
there, we can offer parents
a forum. We value their
input.
Balanced: District will seek public input on proposal for Netherwood Knoll this spring

If district residents approve the idea, Netherwood Knoll Elementary School could turn into a year-round school as soon as the 2015-16
school year. A school staff task force will make a recommendation to the Oregon School Board later in the school year.
