Although the fair officially kicked off Wednesday
and runs through Sunday at the Alliant Energy Center,
some competitions were held early. Nearly 130 youths,
from third-graders to recent high school graduates participated in shooting sports this year, but not many tallied up the number of events Majors-Culp did.
In fact, she would have competed in all nine, but does
not yet qualify for skeet because of her age and inexperience in trap. She intends to add it to the list in two
years.

Stan Gefke sat in awe on

the EF1 tornado left in his
yard the night of June 29.
He was grateful to witness about a dozen expert
volunteers joining together
to tackle a cumbersome
project with ease.
An arborist network had
showed up that morning at
his home perched on a hill
on Schneider Drive to help
remove the numerous oak,
cherry and box elder trees
on his Town of Dunn property that fell or were damaged during the storm.
I was home (and) just

While his home sustained

Referendum talk heats up

Board considering
fall ballot question
Scott De Laruelle

More than two years after

voters rejected a pair of
Oregon School District referendum questions, district
officials are continuing to
gather information about a
potential Nov. 4 referendum thats looking more
and more likely.
Board
members

announced at Mondays
meeting that they have
scheduled a pair of special
meetings later this summer to talk about a possible
referendum 5:30 p.m.
Wednesday, July 23 and
6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Aug.
19. After the clear defeat of
the last referenda, district
officials have made slow,
but steady steps in recent
months to bring the possibility of a new one to the
forefront.
In February 2012, voters said no to a pair of

questions: one that would

have allowed the district to
borrow up to $33 million to
add or renovate parts of the
high school, middle school
and athletic fields south of
the high school, and another to have the authority to
exceed revenue caps by
$150,000 a year to operate
the new high school facilities. The first measure was
defeated 58 percent to 42
percent; the second, 56-44.

Zoo to you
An audience member pets the blue-tongued skink. Unfortunately, the
skink did not show off its colorful tongue while it was out of its cage.

The Henry Vilas Zoo sent some animal ambassadors and their animals to the Oregon Senior Center July 11. The programs attendees
had a chance to pet many of the animals, including a lizard and a ferret, and learn about the animals from the ambassadors.
Above, Valentina Rizzo, 7, of Woodbury, Minn., pets a black-footed ferret, an animal that the animal ambassadors said can be a pet,
but often gets into sticky situations like climbing inside a Lazyboy chair. Rizzo and her brother Antonio, 11, were visiting their grandmother at the senior center.

Vera Hanson adjusts her glasses to get a better look at the horned frog, nicknamed the PacMan Frog
because it eats everything in its way, the ambassadors said.

Oregon Community
Bank will get a new look
both inside and out after
some facade improvements
were approved by the commission.
The bank will have a
small tower feature for the
entrance on Main Street
and new roofing. Other
interior improvements are
planned, as well as some
minor exterior changes.
The bank will have new
walls, ceilings cabinetry,

flooring, a teller line and

customer service areas.
The remodeling project
will begin on Aug. 1 and
is targeted for completion
prior to year end, according to a news release from
the company.
Due to the size of the
remodeling project, and
for the safety of bank staff
and clients, the Main Street
office will be temporarily
closed during remodeling,
the company said. All
bank staff will be relocated

to the Alpine Branch of

the bank (located at 101 S.

A Tomah companys yearslong quest to erect a 486-foot

radio tower in Rutland hit
another roadblock last week.
Backing a June 12 vote by
Town of Rutland officials,
members of the Dane County
Zoning and Land Regulation committee last Tuesday
voted unanimously not to
rezone a 15.5-acre parcel near
Old Stage Road, where Magnum Communications wants
to build the tower to service
Stoughtons first FM station.
Before the vote, an attorney
for Magnum said the town
and county were ignoring a
2013 change in state law that
prohibits municipalities from
rejecting broadcast towers
unless they would harm public health and safety.
Last weeks vote comes
almost three years after the
town and county committee took identical stances. In
both cases, town leaders felt
the tower wouldnt conform
with state and county rules
designed to preserve farmland, and county officials followed suit, saying they were
bound by state law to follow
the towns lead.
Magnum last year unsuccessfully sued in Dane County Circuit Court to overturn
the town and countys earlier rejection. At last weeks
meeting, attorney William
White said another legal fight
could be coming.
The next step is, you
know, here we go again, and
its not really in anybodys
interest to do that, he said.
ZLR committee members
sided with the countys attorney, David Gault, who said in

used for outdoor storage of

finished products. The outdoor storage is necessary,
village documents show,
because there can be a
period of time before our
customers take delivery of
the building. It is during
this period we need to pull
the building outside and
store it until shipping can
be arranged.
The conditional use permit required to allow this
will head to Oregon Village Board for discussion.

Letters to the editor

Interim chief warns of crime wave

In the past couple of weeks, the
village has experienced a rash of
thefts and burglaries.
The overwhelming majority of
these have occurred from unsecured vehicles, garages and in a
few cases residences. Items taken
included cash, tools, electronics,
jewelry and pretty much anything
and everything that might have
value.
The Oregon Police Department
has evidence indicating that those
responsible for many of these
crimes are heroin and/or other
drug abusers.
We want to let the community
know that we believe we know
who is responsible and that we
are actively working to obtain the
necessary evidence to tie them to
these crimes.
In the meantime, residents
should keep their homes (including garages) and vehicles secured
at all times. While many of these
crimes have occurred during hours
of darkness, when a drug abuser
is desperate, the time of day and

level of activity around them will

not be a deterrent to them taking
advantage of whatever opportunity you present them with. Crimes
of opportunity are the easiest to
prevent. You simply take away
the opportunity by keeping your
valuables locked up and out of
sight.
Please keep your outside house
lights on at night as this is a proven cheap and effective deterrent to
residential thefts. Report in-progress suspicious behavior to 9-1-1
and look out for your neighbors.
Crime prevention is a community
effort.
If you know someone who is a
drug abuser, get help for them or
let us know. We will not allow
drug abusers to continue to victimize our residents.
Call 835-3111 if you have information regarding these or any other crimes.
Dale Burke
Interim Chief of Police

driving, booming demand for

urban living, a rapidly aging
rural/upstate population and
higher fuel efficiency all foretell
a profoundly different future. The
very mission of WisDOT merits
rethinking from the ground up.
But turning this Titanic will
not be easy. Consider where
weve been.
Starting with the Interstate
highway program 60-odd years
ago, the federal government has
poured hundreds of billions into
the construction of new highways.
With Uncle Sam providing
most of the funding, states and
local governments saw these new
highways as essentially free.
Why worry about maintenance
costs 25 or 50 years down the
road?
Construction contractors loved
it. So did auto manufacturers and
oil companies. Soon, land speculators, real estate developers,
homebuilders and franchisees of
every stripe learned how to leverage these free new highways
(plus dirt-cheap rural land nearby) into housing tracts, country
estates and shopping centers.
And thus did our nation build
the most extravagant network of
public thoroughfares in history
most of it designed to make
life as convenient as possible for
persons (corporate and corporeal)
who wish to frequently move
large amounts of private property over long distances at high
speeds.
The results were entirely
predictable: Offer highway
infrastructure far below costs
and demand from motorists and
freight haulers skyrocketed.
Meanwhile freight rail, passenger
rail, intercity bus and municipal
transit services none of which
enjoyed the lavish subsidies
for motorists and truckers all
crashed.
Having ignored maintenance

costs from Day 1, our Departments of Transportation compounded matters by failing to

connect costs with demands as
demands soared. Wisconsin drivers who congest roadways at
peak hours still dont pay a cent
more than those who drive at
midnight.
And 18-wheelers have never
been charged nearly enough for
all the pavement they pound into
dust.
The bills are coming due with a
vengeance. Wisconsin must consider whether its ready to steer
by looking ahead or to continue
to gaze into the rear-view mirror.
Before rushing to find more
money, we need to ask a fundamental question: What is the
point of mobility anyway?
Obviously roadbuilders, automobile manufacturers and all
the other stakeholders in Happy
Motoring depend on massive
public and private spending right
now to make profits and pay
workers. But dumping billions
into make-work highway projects isnt something Wisconsin
taxpayers can afford anymore.
Mobility might be the point for
joyriders and sightseers, but for
most citizens it is a means to an
end: access.
We need access to jobs, goods
and services, education, civic and
religious engagement, health care
and so on. And the more that we
can access these things by walking, rolling wheelchairs, pushing
baby strollers, riding bicycles,
climbing stairs, using elevators
and sharing transit, the less budget-breaking highway infrastructure well need.
So rather than the DOT, how
about a Department of Access
instead?

Upon further review

Complaint prompts Bielemas house re-assessment

Scott De Laruelle
Unified Newspaper Group

Former UW football
coach Bret Bielema may
have moved on long ago
for the supposedly greener
pastures of Arkansas, but
his unsold house in the
Town of Dunn is still making local headlines.
Prompted by a neighbors complaint about a
low assessment earlier this
year, the towns board of
review re-set the houses
value last Tuesday, a move
that will raise the taxes for
the coach who left Madison amongst some controversy in December 2012.
Town of Dunn clerk
Cathy Hasslinger said
the initial assessment of

$809,000 did not include

more than 2,000 square
feet of finished space on
the lower level. Town
assessor Dean Peters recommended the assessment
be adjusted to $1,338,000,
and the board of review
voted unanimously to take
his advice.
The house was completed before January 1,
2014 and a full assessment should have been
made, but the assessor had
the home listed as not yet
complete, Hasslinger said.
He recommended correcting the error by increasing
the value.
The Bielemas, who never
lived in the house, did not
attend the meeting and did
not send a representative,

Submit photos from Dane County Fair

The Courier Hub is looking for submitted photographs from the Dane County Fair
of area youths participation. If you have a
camera, bring it along and snap a few photos.
Were looking for mostly individuals with
their animals or projects, whether youth are
showing them, getting them ready or turning
them in.
We will run these photos in our annual
Dane County Fair section in the July 31 edition.
Posed and non-posed photos are OK,
however, we like action shots whenever

possible. Group photos are also good, too.

Please include a brief description of whats
happening in the photo, the first and last
name of the youth in the photo, and what
organization they are from.
Please submit photos by July 25 via email
to: communityreporter@wcinet.com.
Please note that larger photo file sizes
(more than 1000K) for the photos are better
for print quality.
If you have any questions, please dont
hesitate to ask Samantha Christian at 8459559 ext. 249.

and aside from a member

of the media, no other residents attended. Hasslinger
said the Bielemas have the
right to appeal the decision, but said town officials do not expect it.
According to a recent
Channel 3000.com report,
Bielema is asking nearly $2.2 million for the
6,600-square-foot home,
located on Waubesa Avenue, overlooking the lake.

Bond ratings might not

sound too exciting, but Dane
Countys top administrator said some recent changes
have provided welcome good
news on the countys financial health.
According to a press
release Monday from Dane
County, both of the countys bond-rating agencies
Moodys Investments and
Fitch Ratings praised its
restored reserve fund, with
Moodys removing the negative outlook label put on the
countys bond rating in 2011,
upgrading it to stable.
Dane County Executive
Joe Parisi said the move is a
significant financial milestone and recognizes the
work done to rebuild the
countys fiscal foundation.
It is good to receive positive feedback for sound fiscal management, he said.
But more importantly, this is
good news for our taxpayers
because capital projects will
cost less due to a better borrowing rate.
Fitch Ratings also revised
the countys fiscal outlook
to stable, adding, financial
management is strong and has
improved with more conservative budgeting and recent
implementation of multi-year
forecasting the county has
restored structural balance
and demonstrated an ability
to maintain adequate financial flexibility despite a 2010
state law that limits growth in
property tax revenue.
Moodys awarded the
county with an Aa1 rating,
citing a stable and strong
local economy, the General
Fund reserve and limited
fixed obligations.
According to county officials, Dane Countys general
reserve fund has gone from
a negative balance during
the recession to its current
$20.9 million. Parisi said as
the 2015 budget process soon
begins in earnest, there are
reasons for cautious optimism about the countys
financial situation.
Making tough decisions
together in recent years now
means important work like
cleaning up our lakes and
rebuilding our roads can be
done at a lower cost in Dane
County, he said.

Compassion fatigue
Compassion fatigue is a term that is often applied to people who
work in the helping professions, such as doctors, nurses, teachers,
and social workers, and refers to the gradual decrease of compassion which these people sometimes feel in response to others
suffering. It may be that after seeing so much suffering we become
desensitized to it. Indeed, there is some evidence that everyone
may be prone to compassion fatigue through the medias portrayal
of suffering people. Hearing everyday about Syrian refugees or the
homeless in America may make us less likely to respond compassionately than if we were hearing about these unfortunate souls
less often. People who are experiencing high levels of stress and
who have inadequate support networks are more likely to experience compassion fatigue, perhaps because they feel that no one is
helping them with their problems and they feel like they have nothing left in their bucket to share. Since compassion is one of the
essential callings of the faithful, we should do our best to prevent
compassion fatigue by managing our own levels of stress and by
ensuring that we have a good support network in place. And, we
should remember that God is always there to back us up.
- Christopher Simon via Metro News Service

Fair: 4-H member competes

in eight shooting events
Continued from page 1
event of the day indoor
archery.
She held a serious and
quiet demeanor while aiming with her bow, but
as soon as an arrow was
released, she was all smiles
whether or not she hit the
target.
My aim was so bad
when I first started, she
joked, noting that through
the years, shes updated
her bow to include a sight,
release and stabilizer.
Now its just breathing
control and focusing and
having fun. Mostly having
fun though. If you dont
smile, youre not going
anywhere. I try to have my
friends with me so I actually smile.
Seated behind her in
the cramped room were
her closest friends, Caitlin
Beyler and Cole Xander.
When the arrows had finished smacking the targets
and the whistle was blown
after each of the 12 rounds,
she turned to them for support and a few laughs to
help remind her to enjoy the
sport.
In fact, it was watching Beyler participate in
archery and air rifle in 2008
that led Majors-Culp to get
involved with 4-H in the
first place. An only child,
she considers Beyler and
Xander as the closest shell
ever get to siblings.
Theyre the ones I mainly hang out with, theyre
just a blast, she said.
After the archery event,
she leaned over the scorekeepers shoulder to sneak
a peek at her results.
Thats the best Ive ever
done! she beamed, quickly
scribbling the score 251
with 11 Xs on the back of
her target.

New popularity
Archery participation
has seen a definite increase
in recent years, said fair
spokesperson Janet Keller.
The popularity of the bowwielding character from the
book and movie series The
Hunger Games may be

one contributing factor, but

Majors-Culp said thats not
the reason she started.
I think its kind of cool
they (have) a movie with
a girl doing archery, but a
lot of people think (we) do
archery because Katniss is
doing archery, she said.
We do it because its fun
and its our thing. We were
doing it before (The Hunger Games).
Her favorite events are
shooting trap and muzzleloading.
All my instructors are
great, so if I had to choose
one I couldnt, she said.
While she admitted she
wasnt on her game during
the previous trap shooting
event, she said the score
matters but its not the biggest deal as long as I have
fun. She certainly had fun
in another muzzleloader
event two weeks prior to
the pre-fair competition.
Majors-Culp and Xander
competed in River Falls on
June 14 for a qualifier to
the National 4-H Shooting
Sports Invitational, which
will be held in Nebraska
next June. They should find
out the results by Christmas, but only four people
will be chosen to move on
from Wisconsin.
The incoming Oregon
High School freshman will
be making a second trip to
Pierce County at the end of
August. She was recently
notified that her essay and
application to participate
in a youth bear hunt with
someone with the Wisconsin DNR was accepted.
Theres not a lot of girls
that hunt, and I wanted
to get into bigger game,
Majors-Culp said, adding
that she got her first deer
last year gun hunting.
She is used to being busy,
having competed in swimming and lacrosse in middle
school and has been practicing nearly year-round for
shooting events. MajorsCulp is not finished with
4-H events, however, as she
plans to show dairy cattle
for the first year and chickens for the second year at
the fair this week.

(These are) skilled and
amazing people.
She said the most sustainable thing that can happen with wood is to take it
to sawyers who can sell it,
mill it and get it into the
hands of a woodworker to
make furniture, flooring
or art for the homeowner
where the tree came from
in the first place. To do
that, Jan-McMahon said
the general public needs to
be educated about what is
really in trees.

Wisconsin Urban Wood

is committed to preserving
urban woods unique characteristics, bringing life
to dead trees by creating
products of lasting value,
according to its website.
(We want) people to
buy (wood) as a local
resource instead of at a big
box store, she said.
Fred Clark of Baraboo
Woodworks said one white
oak measured in at 30 inches in diameter and probably
stood about 80 feet tall. He
plans to keep the wood in
the area to send to mill.
The mission of Baraboo
Woodworks, according to
its website, is to restore
the connection between
people and land by producing beautiful, artisanal
wood from well-managed
trees and forests right here

where we live.
Connections were certainly made Saturday. And
although one day was not
enough time for all the
remaining branches and
limbs to be picked up by
the group, their efforts
went a long way to help a
grateful veteran.
John Gefke expects
the rest of the cleanup
to take a solid couple of
days between clearing the
debris, cleaning up little
branches and trying to relandscape.
But the bulk of it the
stuff we really couldnt do
without help is done, he
said. I just really appreciate that there are groups
like Jeffs that are going
out and helping people that
really cant afford this type
of help.

We were ready to have
(Jeff) come over and do the
work, John Gefke said.
He explained how much
work there was going to
be and I really thought it
was reasonable, (because)
I know how much arborists charge. So I told him,
Yeah lets get on the
schedule come on over,
we have to do something,
said John.
Since Stan is a veteran on
a limited income, though,
Olson considered the
options and turned the job
down. Instead of making a
profit he decided to make a
difference.
I slept on it and thought,
Why dont we do it for
free? he said.
John Gefke was
shocked when he
received the call the next
day from Olson, who had
also reached out to Evan
Slocum, executive director
of Urban Tree Alliance, to
put the arborist networking group to the test.
Several professionals
from the area gave freely

his wife, Joan, passed away
in 2010, but he still drives
his car and keeps busy. But
sawing down trees isnt on
his to-do list anymore.
So Gefkes son John and
his family came over right
away to help the morning
after the storm.
His driveway and
garage doors were
blocked, John Gefke said.
So my wife, two daughters (and I) spent half a day
just clearing things so he
could get his car out and
down his driveway. It was
kind of a safety issue.
The Gefkes soon realized
they would need the help of
professionals to manage the
rest of the tree damage on
the property, as the insurance company would only
help with the cost to fix the
damage to the house, not
with removing the trees and
cleaning up the brush.
Theres only so much I
can do, John Gefke said.
(This is) a bit beyond my
expertise. Especially with
the one (big oak) tree in
the backyard. You needed
somebody to climb it. I
dont have any safety gear
and (could have) damaged
the house trying to bring
that down.

Two big innings in a row led

to Sundays 11-1 loss to Verona, but the Oregon Home Talent
team (6-8) is still in the playoff
hunt.
With the top two teams in the
North and South Divisions automatically moving on, that leaves
the next best four in the Western
Section to make the playoffs.
Verona (14-0), Argyle (11-3),
Mount Horeb-Pine Bluff (9-5),
Wiota (9-5) and Dodgeville (8-6)
have all clinched a playoff spots.

That leaves Blanchardville (6-8),

Hollandale (6-8) and Oregon as
the other three teams if the season ended today.
Monroe (5-9) and Ridgeway
(5-9) are on the outskirts with
two games to go, but the Orioles hold their own destiny. If it
defeats Monroe at 1 p.m. Sunday
and then takes down Ridgeway at
1 p.m. Sunday, July 27, Oregon
will be in the playoffs.

Conklin: OHS coach enters 16th year with Panthers

Continued from page 9
rival Madison Edgewood head-to-head
in a dual meet, tying for top honors at
the Badger Conference meet, making
the state rankings, qualifying a schoolrecord four players for individual state
and reaching the WIAA Division 1 state
team tournament with a 42-39 victory
over Madison West.
Coach Conklin absolutely deserves
the award, and notjust for the unprecedented success our team had this
spring, varsity assistant coach Terry
Geurkink said. He has had a 15-year
commitment toOregon boys tennis(as
head coach), administers a no-cut program (thus athletes of all levels have
the opportunity to train and compete as
team members), does an excellent job

of communicating with players, parents,

assistant coaches, and he deals with both
success and failure in an even-keeled,
humble manner.
It has been my good fortune towork
with Ben the past three years.
Sporting the smallest enrollment in
Division 1, Conklin and the Panthers
went on to reach the WIAA team state
semifinals.
With the team accomplishing winning conference, making it to the state
tournament, and a ton of other program
firsts, it says a lot about our coaches and
our players, Oregon athletic director
Mike Carr said. I am so happy for him,
his family and our program.
Of this past season Conklin summed
it up in one word, historic.
Personally it makes me really feel
a part of something ... like I belong,

Itll be a steep climb, but weve done it

McCorkle sisters finish in top

15 at Sherri Steinhauer invite

The Orioles started well with pitcher Ben Riffle shutting out the Cavaliers for five innings, but then the
sixth came.
Derek Burgenske singled to start
the inning, and Luke Yapp walked
two batters later. Danny Koss followed with an infield single to load
the bases.
That is when first baseman Cole
Kroncke put Verona up for good with
a 2-run single. Koss later scored on
a wild pitch, and Flora picked up an
RBI on a groundout. Shortstop Justin Scanlon hit an RBI triple to score
Kroncke to finish the inning.
After Veronas Zach Spencer
pitched a 1-2-3 seventh, the Cavaliers offense once again strung hits
together.
Derek Burgenske and Spencer each
singled, and both later scored on a
two-out 2-run single by Kroncke.
Mitch Flora followed with an RBI
single, and Logan Laski came in to
pitch.
After a walk to Brandt, Scanlon
ended the game with a walk-off 3-run
home run to left for a 10-run rule.
You are not going to find a better
hitting team than those guys, and Ben
was around the plate making pitches
like he needs to, Engler said. Part
of the mental toughness that we dont
have as much is that when we get
down, it starts to crumble a little bit.
It just comes with time. We have a lot
of young guys, and it is going to happen. It is a learning experience.
Part of that mental approach also
involves playing a little smarter at
times. There were a few times in the
sixth and seventh when a ball came
in from the outfield to home plate
instead of the cut-off man, allowing a
runner to get to second base.
That is the mental aspect of the
game that a lot of people overlook,
Engler said. Everybody knows what
they need to do, but in the heat of the
moment, those lapses happen sometimes.
Oregon grabbed a 1-0 lead early,
but before that, it was the pitching
and defense that set up the lead.
Verona threatened in the bottom of
the third to score after Flora walked
and second baseman Klayton Brandt
singled to put runners on the corners.

Pump house

Photos submitted

Randy Glysch and other volunteers have raised more than $22,000 in their quest to restore the villages pump house.

Fundraising reaches halfway mark

Organizer: landscaping
completed, building work is next
Unified Newspaper Group

A month ago, the Village Board approved turning the historic pump house
in downtown Oregon into a
welcome center. Now the
project organizer says hes
passed the halfway point in
his fundraising goal.
Oregon resident Randy
Glysch told the Observer
this week that the Friends
of the Oregon Water Tower
fund now totals $22,280.
He began soliciting donations to restore the 1899
pump house and landscape
the grounds last June.
Along with raising money for the project, Glysch,
a scientist working for
the state and also a master
gardener, has managed to
secure donations of materials and labor.
He said Moyers Landscape Services completed
the edging on the property
July 1.
I think the site looks
fantastic, Glysch said in
an email to the Observer.
I heard someone talking
about it last night at the
band concert (in Triangle
Park, across the street from
the pump house). Now on
to the building, inside and
out.
The fundraising effort
got a big boost when Gorman and Company donated
$5,000 toward the project.
And Pure Integrity
Homes of Re/Max recently donated $1,500. Tony
Antoniewicz, a partner in
Pure Integrity Homes, said
his team which includes
his brother, Troy, and fellow Realtor Joe Voell
planned to match up to
$1,500 in funds raised
from hot air balloon rides

at Oregon Summer Fest,

which his company sponsored, but the balloon never
got off the ground because
of windy conditions, so
they were not able to do it.
So the team just decided
that since we were originally going to match up to
$1,500 in donations that
were raised from the balloon rides but couldnt,
we would just provide that
donation of $1,500, he
said.
Antoniewicz said his
team chose to support the
pump house restoration
because its going to be a
great place for people visiting town or those who live
in town just to go and get
some information about the
village.
Its obviously a historical moment in the village,
so its important to us and

its great to see it come

back for the community,
he said.
The pump house and the
water tower it was meant
to serve are both on the
National and State Register of Historic Places. The
pump house had been used
as a storage site for the

village since 1981.

Glysch said now that the
landscaping is completed,
he and other project volunteers will turn their attention to tuck-pointing the
outside walls of the pump
house, cleaning its exterior brick, repainting trim,
installing outdoor lighting,

replacing concrete slabs

around the building and
gutters and installing walkway pavers. The engraved
pavers will be sold for fundraising.
Glysch is planning an
Open House with free beverages at the site from 1-3
p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 10.

That day, the pump house

will be open for tours.
Folks can take a stroll
around the new landscaping, and sign-up for a walkway brick, Glysch said.

Oregon history

Board aims for better

relations, retention
Staff will consider
compensation,
improving
environment
Debra Seubert
Unified Newspaper Group

Though the 2013-14 Oregon School District budget

has been approved and in
place for several weeks,
school board members
expressed concern Monday
night about recent teacher
resignations and the need
to retain top district staff in
the future.
The discussion centered around improving the
employment environment
for all teachers, looking
into not just the supplementary compensation options
that have been discussed in
recent months but also finding out what teachers want.
Board members said they
want to improve the situation for teachers and that
they are seeking input.
Board president Dan
Krause said there are things
that are not monetary that
teachers may be interested
in.
The board proposed that
the human assets committee meet and confer with
staff and bring back some
ideas. They recommended
that school district business

manager Andy Weiland

work with his administrative team to examine
potential options, including
providing additional supplemental pay and teacher
compensation.
A handful of technology and agriculture teachers in the district received
supplemental pay for the
2013-14 season as part of
the 2013-14 school year
collective bargaining agreement between the school
district and Oregon Education Association finalized last month. In some
cases, the amount was up
to $10,000, as an incentive
because they hold positions
that are difficult to recruit
and retain.
However, the three newest board members all campaigned heavily on improving relations between the
district and teachers.

Lunch prices
Taking the advice of the
U.S. Department of Agriculture, and citing the higher cost of fruits and vegetables, the board approved
a 5-cent increase on school
lunches, effective for the
upcoming school year.
Weiland said the district
had not raised lunch prices
in the past two years.
The next board meeting is
set for 6:30 p.m., Monday
Aug. 25.

School: Possible referendum

Continued from page 1
wanted to hear more refined
plans about the needs of the
schools.
Since that time, district
officials have made a point
to include the public in
the process, most recently
holding teacher, staff and
community focus group
sessions in the fall. The
districts values, goals and
priorities were discussed,
as well as possible capital
projects.
In the past year, the board
has approved a report listing up to $60 million in
potential facility needs,
which will provide a framework for any future referendum, according to district
officials.

Earlier this year, district

superintendent Dr. Brian
Busler called the referendum planning process
comprehensive, and that
board members are gathering information from
community survey results,
teacher and staff meetings
at all schools with Bray
Architects and the focus
group sessions.
This deliberate approach
has provided Oregon teachers and staff and community members with multiple
opportunities to share their
thoughts, ideas and questions, he said. We have
learned a great deal from
these engagement sessions
and this has improved
and strengthened the potential referendum projects and
their design.

Youve gotta
have Faith
You couldnt miss the colorful float
from Faith Lutheran Church at the
recent Summer Fest parade, nor the
three confetti-cannon salute to the
Oregon Chamber of Commerce at
the end.
The church took first place in the
parades float contest.
The float, built in around one week
on the Klahn family farm outside
of Oregon, was a team effort from
youth from the congregation, and
featured American flags and the
seals of five armed forces: Army,
Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast
Guard.
