Captivating science
The Oregon PTO Science Fair Pi Day of the Century was held at
Prairie View Elementary School on Saturday, March 14. Students
showed off their projects and had the chance to watch demonstrations by University of Wisconsin students and professors.

student through his demonstration for the stroke cycle using an old
lawn mower engine, including the intake, compression, power and
exhaust.

Village of Oregon
Oregon School District representatives Monday discussed the possibility of partnering with the village
in developing a regional stormwater
pond south of the Oregon Ice Arena.
OSD business manager Andy Weiland met with the Village Board and
said the idea of expanding a stormwater pond thats south of the ice arena
had just come up in the past couple
of weeks.
He said the idea, which is only a
concept at this point, would be to
eliminate two of three existing detention ponds and expand the size of the
one near the ice arena.
The school district would reconfigure a stormwater conveyance system
near the high school and direct runoff
away from the neighborhood west of
the school, sending it south of the ice
arena instead of its current flow pattern west to a concrete culvert along
Oak Street.
Village administrator Mike Gracz
told the Village Board that he and
public works director Mark Below
think its a good idea to build this on
the east side of the village.
Below explained that water from
more than 100 acres north of the village flows to the Oregon branch of
Badfish Creek during heavy storms,

A Wisconsin Department
of Transportation study of
the State Hwy. 138 corridor between Oregon and
Stoughton has concluded
the road does not require
more lanes or additional
right-of-way.
The DOT presented its
conclusions to local officials at a Feb. 10 meeting
in Stoughton. The study
arose from public comments at a similar meeting
in the fall of 2012 that drivers were traveling too fast
on Hwy. 138 especially
given its frequent use by
farm equipment.
Theres no plans for
four lanes in the near
future, Oregon public
works director Mark Below
told the Observer.
The DOT studied a 6.5mile stretch from the interchange with U.S. Hwy. 14
in Oregon to the Silverado/
Hoel Ave. intersection in
Stoughton and found there
were slightly more crashes
than normal for roads of
similar size in the state
(75 accidents per 100 million vehicle miles traveled

versus 71 on average).
The report indicates
there are 97 access points
to the highway between the
two communities, a higher
density than normal for a
corridor of this length, but
noted that traffic flows
well along the corridor,
with the exception of the
intersection with U.S. 51 in
Stoughton.
That intersection is
planned for a major
upgrade when Kettle Park
West is built.
The report suggested that
improved signage would
help at the highways intersection with Sunrise Road
during high-use events
at Madison International
Speedway, but additional
right-of-way in the area is
not necessary.
The DOT is going to
do some intersections
improvements and probably some turn lanes, and
then theyve also limited
driveway access, Below
said. Theyve already
implemented the limited
field and driveway access
to the highway, but they
havent said when the turn

lightly. In fact, one might question if they fall into the category
as questionable actions (legal)
described by the board president.
As a family (including an OSD
teacher and coach) that works and
lives in the Oregon School District,
I believe our school board should
be reflective of all the needs of the
public school system and have the
balanced and experienced view to
serve in their position.
Committees are effective and
long-standing functions of many
boards. They have a history of
demonstrated results. Why is it that
these committees are no longer a
solution for the board to conduct
their business? Is it simply because
two board members have a disregard for policy and procedure?
Observing these board meetings,
The Oregon School District is fortunate to have a person of the caliber of Steve Zach serving as a member of
the school board and being so dedicated that he seeks a
fifth term. He is highly respected as an attorney who specializes in school law.
As members of other local area school boards, we
have attended professional development training taught
by Steve and have worked with him in the Dane
County Consortium of School Boards. He demonstrates a strong commitment not only to maintaining
excellence in the Oregon School District, but also to
standing up for public schools across Wisconsin.
When local boards held a press conference at the Capitol some months ago, Steve spoke eloquently about the
challenges facing public schools and the need for appropriate support from the state.
Steves in-depth knowledge of the workings of schools
and the district, his commitment to doing what is best for
Oregons students and staff, combined with his legal
understanding make him an obvious choice for voters to
return to the Board this April. We strongly endorse Steve
Zach for Oregon School Board.

Walkers budget also proposes a new teacher licensing system for grades 6-12.
The change, according
to his budget brief, would
expand the pool of licensed
teacher options for schools
by creating a competency-based license option
for those with a bachelors
degree and real world experience in a given field. The
license would be valid for a
three-year period.
The specifics of the
licensing program have not
been outlined. The letter
from district officials notes
that there is no required
training for alternative candidates in how to become

gather enough online information to impersonate a loved one, Chalmers said. This
is a scam we hear about on a regular basis
in Wisconsin.
Other frauds include callers impersonating members of the IRS, FBI, and any
number of state and federal agencies. The
representatives, however, do something
that a public would not, and cannot, ever
do: ask for personal information over the
phone. The same occurs frequently with
email, Chalmers said, and the same rules
apply.
So as the scammer wind down their
Medicare fraud efforts and turn to spring
break, now is maybe the time to give your
son, daughter, or grandkids a call you
know, ask where they plan to be, in case
theres any real trouble.

Simple ways to maintain your mental acuity with a routine of diet and exercise
Many people know that a
combination of a healthy diet
and routine exercise is the
best way to maintain their
physical health. But what
about mental well-being?
Memory lapses are often
assumed to be an accepted
side effect of aging, but
such an assumption is incorrect, as there are many steps
men and women can take to
maintain their mental acuity
well into their golden years.

Hypertension
Also known as high blood
pressure, hypertension
is a largely symptomless
form of heart disease. The
AHA notes that the idea
that hypertension produces
symptoms such as difficulty
sleeping, facial flushing,
nervousness, and sweating
is a misconception.
Symptoms typically do
not alert men and women
to the presence of hypertension, highlighting the
emphasis men and women
should place on routine visits to the doctors office,
where their blood pressure
can be taken.

games have grown steadily over the past 32 years,
although there were times
when participation had
declined and it was hard to
recruit organizers.
But the mission has
remained the same: to provide an outlet for seniors to
compete against individuals in a similar age group.
Its about competition
and camaraderie, and its a
social event, he said.
Competition will take
place in nine Dane County communities: Fitchburg, Madison, Middleton,
Monona, Mount Horeb,
Stoughton, Sun Prairie,
Verona and Waunakee.
Hennessey, 72, said
he got involved with the
senior games in 2000, playing three-on-three basketball. He recalled that games
were not well attended that
year and there was talk of
discontinuing them.
From out of the blue, he
got a telephone call from
one of the organizers saying he had been recommended to take it over as
event chairperson, which
Hennessey did in 2002.
He joined the board
of directors in 2004 and
became board president
two years later.
Hennessey said he is
motivated by a chance to
compete in a social and
friendly environment. This
year hell play basketball
and golf.
Weve really grown
over the years, Hennessey
said. Back in the 90s,
they had like 26 events,
and now we have up to 48
events.
He explained that events
get added or removed from
the annual games depending on their popularity.

Busler said changes
at Brooklyn Elementary
School will provide it with
21st century school space
to address the growing student population. The referendum cost for upgrades at
the school was just under
$4.2 million.
The projects will add new
kindergarten classrooms
and a main office, and a
new, more secure entrance
in the center of the building.
The library and two special
education classrooms will
be updated and a new cafeteria will be built to double as large group space for
school and community use
during off-school hours.
The current cafeteria will
be used to create additional
classrooms, which he said
will be a great help.
