in Madison. Last week, the teachers

went to several schools in the Oregon
School District, giving presentations
and talking with students and teachers about Russia as they learned all
about America, and Oregon.
Kindschi said she is so proud
of the Oregon community and how
responsive people have been to the
Russian teachers.
Students were curious and eager
to help serve as guides at schools,

Dawn Dragone thought

shed given her daughter Sarah the gift of a
lifetime when she purchased tickets to see One
Direction at Miller Park
on Aug. 25. She could
not have known that an
already unforgettable
night would end with her
daughter frantically telling a total stranger My
mom is still down there
and I dont know if shes
dead or alive.
The worst thing is that
Sarah was awake through
the whole thing, Dragone told the Observer,
wiping tears from her
eyes.
Dragone sustained
four separate fractures
to her neck after a heart
condition caused her to
pass out during the last
few miles on the journey
home. She said she feels
lucky to be alive, after
her car veered off the
road and hit a utility pole,
knocking out power for
nearly 500 people in the
area.

When it comes to helping

sell Oregon as a tourist destination, the more help, the
better.
Thats how a recent collaboration between several
village groups came together to create a new Explore
Oregon brochure that was
published last month. The
idea behind the brochure is
to highlight some of the villages historic attractions,
as well as recent additions
like the newly completed
bike trail, to give people
opportunities to see the area
on their feet, as well as on
their bicycles.
It all started a few months
back when Randy Glysch,
the force behind the recent
water tower restoration
and creation of the Oregon
Welcome Center, suggested
the Oregon Area Historical Society (OAHS) create
a walking tour brochure
of downtown, said OAHS
member Melanie Woodworth. Oregon Chamber

When globetrotting Oregon High

School teacher Lou Kindschi visited and lived with a group of Russian educators during a trip there last
winter, she had no idea shed end up
playing the host just a few months
later.
But when an educator exchange
program run by First Friends of Russian Folklore and funded by the U.S.
State Department had money left

over for a return trip, thats exactly

what happened. Two of Kindschis
comrades from the previous trip
Olga Dorokhova and Elena Shipilova
just wrapped up a memorable week
in Oregon, learning about American
culture and education systems during a trip they said they will fondly
remember.

Water tower fundraiser set for next week as organizer sees momentum building
BILL LIVICK
Unified Newspaper Group

A group dedicated to restoring the villages 1899 downtown water tower is holding a
fundraiser for the Tin Man
project next week.
The event will be held from
5 8:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct.
14, at The Main Event, 119 S.
Main St. It will include a silent
auction, live music by the blues
band Dave Law and the Mannish Boys, hors doeuvres and a
cash bar.
Organizer Randy Glysch told

the Observer last week his goal

is now to raise $25,000 toward
the project up from an earlier
goal of $15,000.
Glysch received two quotes
last summer for painting the
steel structure that overlooks
downtown Oregon. Dixon Engineering estimated it would cost
$90,000 to repaint the tower,
while Lane Tank Company
said it could do the work for
$38,000. (Dixons offer included just one coat of paint, while
Lane Tanks included a primer
and two coats, Glysch said.)
Village administrator Mike

Gracz told the Observer Tuesday the village would request

bids for the project, and then
would borrow to cover the
remaining cost after grants have
been received and fundraising is
completed.
Glysch has applied for two
grants: one from Dane County
for $3,000, and another from
the Evjue Foundation, worth
$15,000. He doesnt know the
results of those grant applications yet.
In the past two years, Glysch
led fundraising and organized
the restoration of the villages

pump house, now the new

Oregon Welcome Center.
The small building sits below
the water tower on Janesville
Street.
Glysch has raised more than
$10,000 so far to restore and
repaint the tower. Last week,
he stood in front of Bills Food
Center and collected $250 in
donations in three hours, he
said.
I believe we are going to get
this part of the project done,
just like we did with the pump
house, he told the Observer.

Budget rises to $572 million Account created for cash seized by police
2016 county budget initiatives

Unified Newspaper Group

Dane County taxpayers

can expect a slight uptick
in their county tax bills
next year, but should see
some local road improvements from the increased
payment.
Dane County executive Joe Parisi unveiled
his proposed 2016 budget
last week with a proposed
levy increase of $0.02 per
$1,000 in assessed value.
Parisi said in his budget
memo that the countys
operating budget focuses on improving mental
health services, housing
and job opportunities.
Meanwhile the proposed
capital budget calls for
$35.9 million in expenses,
mainly for road projects.
This marks a $6.4 million
decrease from last year.
Roads along the western
edge of the Oregon area
are targeted for improvement in the county budget
next year.
Parisis proposed budget includes $425,000 for
resurfacing and drainage
improvements to Hwy.
D between Hwy. CC and
Hwy. M. The project is
partially funded by County Highway Improvement
Program grants from the
state, but roughly $325,000
will covered by Dane
County.
Closer to the Village
of Oregon, a joint project
between the village and
Dane County will result
in a new road surface for
Hwy. CC between Bergamont Boulevard and
Hwy. MM (known locally at Jefferson Street).
The $400,000 includes
$150,000 from the village and will result in an
eventual jurisdictional
transfer that makes the village responsible for future
maintenance and repairs.
A $75,000 bike trail
grant is also included as a
capital project.
County board supervisors will review the proposal this month, offer
amendments and vote on
the budget before Thanksgiving.
In his budget announcement, Parisi touted the
success of partnerships
between county and local
governments, as well as
with businesses, community, civic and faith groups.
I developed my budget for 2016 with a focus
on identifying partners
that when teamed with
the resources of county
government could accomplish the greatest amount

Dane County executive Joe Parisi announced his proposed 2016 budget Oct. 1, with a focus on partnerships to
provide services to county residents.
Parisi again stressed the need to protect natural resources
and area lakes, enhance mental health services and make
job opportunities and affordable housing accessible.
Major initiatives include:
$1.7 million for Six New Compressed Natural Gas
Snowplows
$1.4 million Storm water controls
$750,000 Affordable Housing Developments
$750,000 Day resource center improvements - renovations
$500,000 Re-Entry Housing
$500,000 for Lake Clean-Up Phosphorus Elimination
System
$500,000 for Zoo Bathrooms, Improvements
$415,000 Solar investment
$364,000 New Countywide Recycling Stations
$260,000 to create an Office of Equity and Inclusion
$252,000 School Based Mental Health Teams
$144,000 Clean beach treatments
$82,000 Mobile Community Crisis Mental Health Teams
to assist police

On the web

countyofdane.com/exec/
budget.aspx
of good for the people we
work for, Parisi said.
Those partnerships
allowed this proposed
budget to remain roughly
$500,000 under the stateimposed revenue limit cap
while providing a cost of
living increase for some
employees and $0.87 perhour wage increase for all
county employees.

Taxpayer impact
The proposed $572 million operating budget represents a nearly 8 percent
increase over last years
$530 million budget. The
proposed mill rate of $3.14
per $1,000 in assessed property value an average estimate for Dane County since
different municipalities have
different assessments practices and levies is $0.02
higher than last years budget. The county levy represents approximately 15 percent of a homeowners total
tax bill with state, municipal, school district and technical college budgets making up the rest of the annual
tax bill.
The operating budget
brings Dane Countys
reserve fund to nearly $25
million, which has helped
improve the countys bond
rating, Parisi said. That
better rating allows for
more favorable borrowing
rates, although this years
budget seeks less money

Its time to cut back the

perennials, prune the
shrubs, feed the trees
& mulch the beds.

The Village Board Monday agreed with police

chief Brian Uhls request
to create a separate checking account for money
that police seize and have
been keeping in the departments evidence room.
Uhl told trustees that the
money is not evidence, that
it is photographed after
its seized, and that keeping it in a separate account
would take away the
opportunity for someone
to remove the cash.
Uhl was apparently
referring to an internal
investigation that took
place earlier this year
when it was discovered
that prescription drugs and
cash had been removed
from the evidence room.

Shade trees
In other business,
the board unanimously
approved a residents
request to sign on to a grant
application with the American Transmission Company.
Kim Sorbet told the
board if awarded the
$5,000 grant, she would
like to use the money to
buy trees for the Netherwood Knoll Elementary
School playground. She
said the playground has no
trees or shade.
Its brutal in the summer, she said.
Public works director
Jeff Rau said the village
would be the intermediary for the funds. ATC
requires that the funds go
to a municipality, he said.
Sorbet asked the village
to sign the application,
and said volunteers would
plant the trees.

The investigation concluded that the late Lt.

Karey Clark, then secondin-command of the department, was responsible for
the missing items.
Uhl said creating a separate account for the money
is a step toward having the
Oregon Police Department
become accredited by the
Wisconsin Law Enforcement Accreditation Group,
which is one of his stated
goals. He is an assessor for
the organization.
As part of the motion to
approve Uhls request, village finance director Lisa

In response to a question from a trustee about

Letters to the editor

Downtown renovation is admirable,

but tenants might not afford the rent
I admire the work that the
Thiels have put into the buildings
in downtown Oregon; it would be
very sad to lose the history that is
connected with the properties and
the quaintness of our downtown.
Certainly, as land owners, and
ones that have put money, time
and sweat into their properties,
they should be able to do as they
wish with their property, within
the guidelines of the existing laws
and regulations.
What Im not as sure about is
whether they should be the ones
deciding which businesses our
little downtown needs. Given the
history of their own upscale business, Im also not so sure they are
qualified.
They pushed Senor Peppers to a
different location to open Masons
on Main. Senor Peppers appears
to be thriving with the larger more
visible spot, but, as we know,
Masons did not stay open long.
They were able to get DeBrouxs
closed down to create a spot for
Holsteins; time will tell how well
both Holsteins and Charlies will
do. I do not have a firsthand experience yet, but I will hope for good
things.

Oregon is a wonderful place

to be and the more people have a
reason to come here and to stay
here, the better.
It would be interesting to
know what more upscale business they have in mind for the
upper floor of 101 South Main,
since it appears they dont think
Academy of Sound fits their bill
(you dont bring in a lawyer right
away unless you are planning on
an eviction and want to hasten the
process). It would just be so very
sad to have a business that focuses
on teaching people music as well
as giving them the opportunity
to perform their music by way of
recitals be forced out of such an
ideal location.
I just worry that if things keep
going this way, the whole block
may end up empty and that would
make downtown Oregon a very
lonely spot. All the work the
Thiels have done to renovate will
be for nothing if the buildings
remain empty for fear of renting
from them.

No pain, no gain in the fight

against climate disruption

he cost of a MedFlight
helicopter ride to save a
childs life might be about
the same as the cost to fly a tourist to a remote mountainside for
a bit of recreational skiing, but
only an economist would claim
neither is more important than
the other.
Anyone with a functioning
heart knows there is an enormous
difference: Saving the child is the
clear winner, as the tourist can
easily find other
ways to play.
The term for
this is triage,
or as MerriamWebster.com
puts it, the
process of
deciding which
Noeldner
patients should
be treated first
based on how
sick or seriously injured they
are.
Triage is most often associated
with medical care in wartime, but
the concept is applicable to our
emissions of greenhouse gases
today. As is the case with the two
uses for the helicopter, nearly all
of our current purposes for burning fossil fuels fall somewhere
between essential for life to
frivolous in the extreme.
There are many ways to amuse
ourselves that require little or
no coal or oil or natural gas,
but there is no substitute for a
667-horsepower MedFlight helicopter when the goal is to rapidly
transport a child to an emergency
room 10 or 20 miles distant.
The good news is we dont
have to cease all burning immediately to greatly diminish the
risks of catastrophic climate
disruption. There is an enormous
difference between the effects
of all of us continuing to burn
as much fossil fuel for as many
purposes as we do right now and
none of us burning these fuels

again.
We still have critical needs for
these fuels, and it will take time
develop alternatives. But we do
need to get dead-serious about
triage i.e. curtailing our nonessential uses of fossil fuels. The
prospects for Mans survival on
Earth hinge upon it.
The bad news is politicians
are terrified to merely broach the
topic of triage, much less to urge
us to embrace it.
If pressed about emissions,
they usually insist we shouldnt
have to give up any of the purposes for which we consume fossil fuels at present. And why not?
All too few of the people who
elect them have indicated we are
willing to give up any of these
purposes.
No wonder so many of our
leaders still pooh-pooh the risks
of climate change. No wonder
those who admit the need for
action say the top priority must
be to rapidly develop and commercialize green energy
things like solar, wind, biofuels
and efficiency. A small but growing minority want to accomplish
this by levying a fee on carbon
fuels.
The bottom line for many of
our leaders is clear: When it
comes to fighting climate change,
technologies and policies are
supposed to do the heavy lifting
not you or me.
Betting the farm on such things
may delight green entrepreneurs,
research scientists, engineers,
Wall Street quants, public policy
wonks and voters. But avoiding
the question of purpose amounts
to kicking the can down the road.
It is our seemingly insatiable
appetites for technological power
that have led to the threat of
climate disruption in the first
place. If we dont rein in those
appetites, we will continue to
find reasons to be dissatisfied
with whatever amount of power

we have at the moment and no

amount of green energy will
satisfy us, either.
Given all the other Earthly limitations we are crashing into now,
solving the climate problem
via energy supply alone would be
a temporary reprieve at best.
Getting serious about averting climate chaos means asking
tough questions and demanding
real action. Not of our leaders,
but of ourselves. They wont
change until theyre convinced
you and I are willing.
How much driving and flying
and power-lawn-mowing are we
willing to give up? How much
heating and cooling? How much
snowmobiling and waterskiing
and ATV-riding?
We must decide whether we
will foreswear bucket lists that
entail burning hundreds or thousands of gallons of gasoline or
jet fuel, whether we will pursue
activities for our children that are
within walking or bicycling distance and give up most motorized
chauffeuring.
We adults must decide if we
can commit to walking and biking and riding transit a lot more
not for exercise, but as normal
means of transportation. We need
to consider downsizing our living
quarters and lot sizes and figuring out how to have great vacations without driving to some
vacation property up north.
We have to decide whether well
continue to support the Fourth
Estate if they can no longer survive
on revenues from advertising all
the non-essential fossil-fuel-intensive stuff we buy today.
Its time for action, Oregon. If
we continue to wait for painless
solutions or worse, deny the
risks it will be too late.
Hans Noeldner is a Village of
Oregon resident.

Extrication challenge
The Oregon Area Fire & EMS District took third place in an extrication challenge last month in Roscoe, Ill. The five-member team
faced various challenges ranging from a snowmobile lodged
in a car windshield to a round bale of hay on top of a vehicle.
The training throws many unique challenges at the groups who
participate. The team consisted of front row, from left: FF/Intern

Tin Man: Glysch hopes to add lighting, weather vane

Featured

Continued from page 1

Because of the success of
the pump house, the support
for restoring the water tower has never been higher.
He said the fundraiser
scheduled for Wednesday
is crucial to raise the necessary funds to get the Tin Man
restored and repainted.
In addition to the fundraiser at The Main Event,
the Friends of the Water
Tower are selling T-shirts
and 4-inch by 8-inch
engraved pavers for the Tin
Man patio (price is $125
per paver) to be placed to
the right of the Welcome
Center. Both items are on
display at the Firefly Coffeehouse, and T-shirts are
also on sale at Village Hall.
Glysch also hopes to light
the tower and has received
approval from the State
Historical Society.
The Welcome Center and
water tower are on the State
and National Register of
Historic Places. Any changes to the structures must
receive their approval.
We are thinking we
would probably place
L.E.D. lights shining up on

floodlights on the cat walk
illuminating the actual tower, Glysch said.
Hes also asked permission to paint the word
Oregon on the tower, and
to add a weather vain to its
top, which we understand
was once there but rusted
off, he said.
The lighting, lettering,
and weather vain suggestions would have to come

approval.
Glysch said The Main
Event owner/chef David
Heide and his staff have
been wonderful to work
with in putting the fundraiser together. He said its
also a chance for Oregon
residents to see the new restaurant before it opens to the
public Thursday, Oct. 22.
Glysch has been a whirlwind of activity since moving from Madison to the
village in June 2013. Along
with the pump house/Welcome Center success, which
involved raising more than
$50,000, he recently proposed the idea of creating
a walking tour brochure,
Explore Oregon, for residents and visitors.

Chamber of Commerce
director Judy Knutson said
she plans to get some of the
brochures in the hands of
other chambers to promote
the village.
Glysch said the Welcome
Center has been getting lots
of visitors.
We are seeing more and
more people come into the
Welcome Center, he said.
We were setting up for
the photograph exhibit last
weekend and had the door
open, and two large groups
of people came in to see the
Center.
I ended up taking pictures of one group in front
of the building, he added.
A lot of Oregon residents
are bringing their out-oftown families to visit the
Welcome Center.

Along with the new

Explore Oregon brochures,
Glysch organized an October exhibit of photographs
of the pump house and
water tower taken by two
local photographers. The
exhibit opening took place
last Thursday night. The
Welcome Center will be
open from 1-3 p.m. on Sundays in October.

We invite you to bring your family and friends

to our upcoming open house as we say...

Like-minded people
started meeting in October
of 2010 to explore the possibility of forming a local
historical society for Brooklyn, founding the group the
following April. The society
is affiliated with the Wisconsin Historical Society
and has a goal to preserve
the history of the Village
of Brooklyn and the four
surrounding townships of
Brooklyn, Oregon, Rutland
and Union. Ultimately, the
goal is to have a museum
site in Brooklyn.
The society is hosting its
fifth annual open house from
1-4 p.m. Saturday at the
Brooklyn Community Building, and there is plenty in the
schedule. The theme this year
is Dancing into the Past,
and will feature a transferred
reel to reel film of Brooklyn
proms from 1954 to 1962.
There will be DVD copies
for sale. There is also footage
of the original Brooklyn high
and elementary schools.

Tripping Others
Jesus gives a stern warning to anyone who might
cause a believer to stumble in their faith: If anyone
causes one of these little ones--those who believe
in me--to stumble, it would be better for them if a
large millstone were hung around their neck and they
were thrown into the sea. (Mark 9:42 NIV) If raising
theological questions damages your faith, or the faith
of others, then perhaps the questioning has gone too
far. There is a point beyond which the intellect cannot
go, though faith, hope and love may take you there.
Dietary and other customs might also cause a person
to stumble. Paul tells us that all things are clean to eat
and drinkGod does not require us to be vegetarians
or teetotalersand when you are eating as a guest to
eat whatever is put before you. But if eating meat or
drinking wine would cause someone in your company
to stumble then we should abstain. In other words,
offend no one, as far as possible. Taking a vegetarian
to a steakhouse is as inconsiderate as drinking alcohol
around a recently recovered alcoholic.
Christopher Simon, Metro News Service
Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food.
All food is clean, but it is wrong for a person to eat anything that causes someone else to stumble. It is better
not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything else that
will cause your brother or sister to fall.
Romans 14:20-21 NIV

Unified Newspaper Group

A new martial arts studio that opened early last

month brings a black-belt
instructor with international
experience to Oregon.
Luke Palmer opened
Infinity Martial Arts on
Sept. 3 in a 5,500-squarefoot space next to Bills
Food Center. The 27-yearold has been studying martial arts since he was 10
and teaches what he calls
sports karate to a small
but growing number of students here.
Palmer, who grew up
in Verona and Fitchburg,
comes from a family of
black belts, including his
parents and three brothers.
We all started karate
together and have been
training ever since, he
said.
Palmer comes to Oregon
with 12 years of experience
as a martial arts instructor.
For the past seven years, he
was the chief instructor at
an Infinity school in Middleton, and before that, he
took an 18-month mission
trip around the world that
included karate.
The style he teaches is
American taekwondo or
sports karate.
Our base style is traditional taekwondo, so I teach
the traditional routines, and
we also teach very practical

We also learn about avoiding confrontation and being
aware of whats going on
before you get into a physical altercation.
While those lessons stem
from traditional taekwondo,
sports karate is not traditional, Palmer said.
Its a little more modernized faster and flashier
and it incorporates spinning kicks, 540 kicks, 720

Focus on framing

Full-service frame shop comes to Oregon

We are seeking your favorite recipes for our
16th annual

MARK IGNATOWSKI
Unified Newspaper Group

Tucked into a small office suite on Netherwood Road is Oregons only full-service
frame shop.
Natural Spaces Framing & Gallery opened
in September and business has been picking
up for owner Dave Miess.
Miess a nature photographer has lived
in Oregon for nearly 20 years. The new gallery at 165 W. Netherwood Road gives him
space to display his work and a local place for
people to pick out frames, mats and get photo
restoration work done.
We have no frame shops weve had them
in the past, Miess said. Its the right amount
of space for me.
Miess used to share space with some other
artists in Mineral Point, but decided to open
his own shop last spring. When he wasnt
showing his photography work at one of the
seven to 10 shows he does per year, his
display space was limited, he said. Having to
share a gallery limited what he could do as far
as framing, too.
The big part of it is the framing thats
really what I want to do for the village, Miess
said.
He began framing his work about half
a decade ago and is eager to help people
sift through the hundreds of frame and mat
options.
Miess said picking a frame and mat can be
overwhelming for some people, so he tries to
work with customer by listening to what they
want to do. There are modern frames, more
traditional frames both in metal or wood
and hundreds and hundreds of mats, he said.
Miess said hell make suggestions for folks
based on the artwork they want framed or
what color wall it might hang on.
The idea is to start narrowing it down to
find the right combination for them, he said.
In addition to the extensive frame options,
Miess offers some low-cost options that help
get your kids artwork from out of a box in the

Infinity: Palmer has taught martial arts for 12 years, has studied karate for 17 years

ranging from 4 years old

to adults in their 50s and
60s. His courses incorporate practices that involve
stretching, strength-building and a good deal of
cardiovascular exercise.
Its strength and conditioning and also the cardio
workout, he said. So its
a well-rounded program.

Continued from page 1

Palmer graduated from

being home-schooled in
2006 and found joy teaching karate immediately.
He spent about 18
months traveling abroad
doing mission work that
combined martial arts
instruction with his religious beliefs.
I went to Fiji, Brazil,
Australia, Canada, Scotland, and around the U.S.,
Palmer recalled.
He called it an awesome opportunity to travel
and do karate.
He completed the mission work in 2007, and the
following year spent two
months studying jiu-jitsu
and Thai martial arts in
Thailand.
It was an incredible

Night Out activity on Aug. 4.

experience, he said.
Palmer said he opened
his business in Oregon
because he has family living here and was aware
the community would be

receptive to his practice.

He sees a growing interest
as more people learn that
theres a professional martial arts studio in Oregon.
Palmer has 17 students

Palmer offers three basic

levels of instruction: Ninjas and Kinder Kickers
(4-7 years old); Kids Karate program (8-13 years
old), and a Teen and Adult
program.
Ninjas and Kinder
Kickers are in a pre-karate
program that teaches a different life skill each week,
along with the kicks and

punches in class, Palmer

explained.
Those very young students earn a stripe on their
belts based on achieving a
skill such as self-control,
teamwork, respect and discipline.
Theres a separate
progression for the little
ones, Palmer said. The
classes are split up by
belt level. So its not like
beginners are working
with advanced students.
Once students turn 8,
they start on the Kids
Karate program or level
one.
When they turn 14 they
can start in the Teen and
Adult program.
Kids classes are half-anhour long, and adult classes are 45 minutes, Palmer
said.

Palmer receives support

from the national franchise on the business end
of things.
If I ever need any help
here teaching classes, people from the other schools
will come and help me
out, he said.
He said he shapes his
instruction based on students abilities and interests.
It depends on what students want to learn, he
said. A new student coming in from day one to earn
their black belt doesnt
have to learn the front
and back flips, but they
do learn the sports side of
things its a little more
exciting to watch.

Senior wide receiver Alex Duff celebrates his second touchdown catch of the evening in the third quarter Friday at Collins Field in Stoughton. Duff caught two balls for 116
yards and a pair of scores from quarterback Trent Ricker as Oregon won 41-33.

Panthers hold off

Stoughton, one game from
securing conference title
JEREMY JONES
Sports editor

Quarterback Trent Ricker

didnt go into Friday evenings
Badger South game at Stoughton
thinking hed be the focal point
of the Panthers offense, but the
two-year starter certainly didnt
wilt under the pressure.
Coming into this game I
wasnt expecting up to throw the
ball much, Ricker said. I was
expecting a low scoring, ground
and pound style game, but as soon

as we got that first touchdown I

think coach really realized we had
an advantage over that defensive
backs.
Half of Rickers six completions, however, ended up in the
end zone and the senior quarterback rushed for a pair of touchdowns for good measure to lead
Oregon to a 41-33 victory over
the rival Vikings.
Ricker finished with a seasonhigh 220 yards passing, finding
senior wide receiver Alex Duff
on touchdown strikes of 78 and
38 yards.
That first one was originally a
hitch pass, but Alex saw the corner was pressing. We made eye
contact, called a little audible and
changed it to a go route, Ricker

said. I think that got the confidence up for both of us.

The second play from scrimmage, saw Stoughton defensive
back Darvell Peeples jump early,
leaving a wide open field of 78
yards for Duff.
I knew that ball was going to
soar a little further than he had
planned on, Duff said. When I
turned around there was no one
there and just a wide open field.
Oregon continued to come up
with explosive plays through
the air to build an 18-point lead
(28-10) through two quarters
on a 47-yard pass to Sam Mueller, while Ricker added a 9-yard
Ricker touchdown run, following
which he as flagged for taunting
after pretending to rip open his

jersey ala Cam Newton of the

Carolina Panthers.
I know we talk about not being
selfish, but that was definitely a
selfish move on my part, Ricker
said. I apologized to my team
for that. Im sure Ill be paying
for it in practice next week.
Stoughton rallied from a threetouchdown deficit in the fourth
quarter Friday without starting
quarterback Jake Kissling thanks
in large part due to the effort of
sophomore running back Brady
Schipper.
Schipper accounted for 194
yards and a pair of second half
rushing touchdowns to pull the
Vikings within an on-side kickoff

With the regular season

nearing its end, the Oregon
High School volleyball
team is looking to make
some big leaps this week
and pull of some upsets at
Saturdays Badger South
Conference tournament.
The Panthers travel to
Monroe at 7 p.m. Thursday to close the conference
regular season and then
travel to Monona Grove
at 8 a.m. Saturday for the
conference tournament.
While the seeding wont
be decided until Friday,
Oregon will most likely be
a lower seed and will need
to play a tough first matchup in the double-elimination bracket.
We have struggled
with consistency and confidence in our abilities
this season. I feel like we
turned a bit of a corner
this past weekend at our
invite and started playing as a team again, head
coach Katie Heitz wrote
in an email. We are not
where we would like to
be in terms of conference
standing but looking at the
results from the last week
of conference play - any
team can come out on top
on any given day.
We have played some
of the top teams competitively at points during our
games - now we just need
to put together a whole
match of consistent play
and we could end up surprising some teams.

Saturdays Middleton
Cardinal Invitational provided the Oregon girls
swimming team a chance
to see how they would fair
against several of the teams
they will face Nov. 7 at the
WIAA Division 1 sectional
meet.
Probably the Panthers
best shot at reaching the
WIAA Division 1 state
meet, the 200-yard medley
team of Carolyn Christofferson, Logan Fahey, Hannah Rau and Willow Kugel
finished sixth overall with
a time of 2 minutes, 00.09

place in 1:47.65.
Claire Candell, Kugel,
Rau and Christofferson
went on to match the teambest sixth-place finish in the
200 free relay (1:46.85).
The 200 medley and
200 free relay present great
potential at conference and
our sectionals, Panthers
head coach Liz Schneider
said. The girls are setting
high goals for these relays
and Im hoping that we have
a shot.
It will all depend on rankings in other sectionals as
well but, if we place high
enough at our sectionals,
which is the fastest in the
state, I believe we could
make it.

turned in the teams next
best finish, taking seventh
in the 300 backstroke relay
(50-100-50-100) with a time

400 free relay.
The Panthers JV team

JEREMY JONES

Rather than staying in the area and

competing against the same Badger
and Big Eight Conference competition, the Oregon girls cross country
team traveled east for the Chocolate City Invitational in Burlington
on Saturday for the second straight
year.
And despite racing without their
top two runners (Emma Hughes and
Taylor Schmidt), the Panthers still
managed to turn in a solid performance, finishing sixth overall out of
14 teams with a score of 160.
It was a very fast course, the
weather was perfect for racing and
the girls are preparing to peak in
October, Panthers head coach
Doug Debroux said all influenced
the teams fast times Saturday.I
thought our girls competed hard,
knowing that we still have two or

senior Olivia Davis concluded her
high school career with a 109.
Taylor McCorkle said that the other
girls on the team were vital in keeping
her composed, especially when she
had a bad hole or two.
It was really fun and was probably one of the best years, Taylor
McCorkle said. They always kept
me positive ... I dont think I would be
able to this without them.

Monona Groves Mikayla Hauck

(76) were the other individual qualifiers to state.
Head coach Frank LaVoy knew that
the WIAA Division 1 Oregon regional was going to be tough Wednesday,
especially with windy conditions
making Foxboro Golf Course tougher
than it already was.
But he still looked at the matchup
as favorable for the Oregon girls golf
team, especially with the steady play
from the top two golfers, Johnson and
Taylor McCorkle.
And the Panthers did play well,
finishing second and advancing to
sectionals with a 363, but LaVoy
expected the girls to be a lot closer
to regional champion Monona Grove
(334).
I felt that we gave away a lot of
strokes, but we ended up with pretty
good scores, LaVoy said. We have
really been working hard to cut out
those giveaway strokes, and they just
didnt manufacture them.
It is there, and we will keep building and maybe it will work out for us
next week at Odana.
Even with the thought that Oregon
could have finished better than it did,
LaVoy still saw lots of positive signs
from the girls.
On the fifth hole, in particular, the
girls demonstrated sound judgments,
he said.
They hit it up the middle. They
didnt try to bomb it all the way up,
and they went next to the green and
got out in three, he said. That is
smart golf. I saw that more and more
today.
Taylor McCorkle ended up third
overall with a 77, while Johnson was
fourth overall with an 83. Behind
them was Davis (101) who LaVoy
said played fantastic and McKee
(102).
Andi McCorkle shot a 105 but had
the score thrown out, but she nearly
made a hole-in-one on the fourth
hole, missing the cup by about four
inches before tapping in for birdie.
It was the best hole-in-one I have
ever seen that didnt go in, LaVoy
said with a laugh.

and a touchdown.
Its to bad we couldnt
send our 21 seniors out
with a win on Senior Night
and in our last home game,
but weve got to refocus
for Monona Grove for this
week, Vikings head coach
and former OHS alumni
Dan Prahl said.
A win Friday would
have given Stoughton a
third conference win and
made the team playoff eligible for the second straight
year, while an Oregon victory officially locked up a
second playoff spot for the
Panthers.
Stoughton outscored
Oregon 23-13 in the second half, but was unable to
keep the Panthers out of the
end zone, finding itself in
a 24-point deficit early in
the fourth quarter despite
second half Schipper
touchdown runs of 3 and 9
yards and a fourth quarter
touchdown rushing touchdown of 5 yards by junior
back-up quarterback Noah
Guerin.
Guerin found Adam
Krumholz on a pair of
fourth quarter 2-point
conversion touchdown
passes to pull Stoughton
within eight points, but
the Vikings were unable to
recover a late on-side kick
and watched Oregon run
out the clock.
Noah came in and
stayed the course, Prahl
said. He played an

excellent second half and

gave us a shot at the end.
Krumholz caught four
balls for a team-high 65
yards and senior receiver
Gage White hauled in one
ball for a 3-yard touchdown
in the second quarter.
These guys love each
other like a family and
they dont want this ride to
end, Kissling said.
Oregon (4-1) hosts undefeated Milton (4-0) at 7
p.m. Friday. A win by the
Panthers would guarantee
Oregon at least a share of
the conference title for the
first time in 25 years.
Its a huge game. Last
year we went down there
and took it to them pretty
good and almost knocked
them out of the conference race, but they came
back and won two more
ball games at the end to
beat MG and tie them for
conference, Kissling
said. Right now, were
in the drivers seat. Weve
played two back-to-back
decent games together.
I think we can play with
anybody, we just have to
finish the game. I guarantee Milton is going to
be all fired up because of
what we did to them last
year.
Monona Grove (3-1)
hosts Stoughton and then
finishes the regular season
Oct. 16 at Milton (4-0).
The Panthers end the
season Oct. 16 at DeForest
(4-3) in a Badger Conference crossover game.

Thanksgiving.
In response, the community has rallied around her.
In addition to donations,
members of the surrounding
community, led by the mother of a child Dawn cared for
prior to the accident, have
helped the Brooklyn family
make ends meet. The road to
recovery, however, could be
a long one.

The Oregon police department originally attributed
the accident to Dawn falling
asleep, but later updated to
say she had a medical condition. Its a heart condition
dilated cardiomyopathy
that Dragone has only known
about since 2009, but she
said it never before caused
the problems she experienced in August.
The condition is the result

of Hwy. 18 in Oregon and to

take County Hwy. MM south
shortly after midnight. It was
at that point she called her
fianc to tell her they were
almost home.
The next call he would
receive would be from his
frantic daughter.
I remember looking at
Headquarters (Bar and Grill)
and thinking Oh I am so
wide awake right now, this
is crazy, Im going to get
home, get comfy cozy, then
Im going to lay there and
its going to take me three
hours to get to sleep, Dragone said. We got to the top
of the hill and thats the last
thing I remember.
Its at this point that Dawn
has to refer to others recollections. The vehicle rolled
so violently after striking a
utility pole that, according to
Dawn, a headlight was found
at the top of a nearby tree.
The utility pole came
down on the vehicle, which
she suspects was responsible for fracturing her neck.

Sarah said she saw her mom

hunched up and over the
steering wheel, and began
trying to wake her mother
up.
Dragone said she feels
lucky that her and her daughter survived.
My (deceased) mom was
watching over me, I swear to
God, Dragone said.
Even after being transported to UW Hospital, she
said she didnt remember
much until three days later.
Dragone spent the next three
weeks in the hospital, while
doctors tried to determine
what exactly happened.
Today, she wears an external defibrillator that detects
when her heart is out of
rhythm and returns it to normal pace. She said she might
require heart surgery to have
a pacemaker installed.
In the wake of the accident, GoFundMe and Mealtrain accounts have been set
up online by Desiree Brekke,
the mother of an infant for
which Dragone formerly
cared. She said when she
saw the amount that was
raised currently just over
$1,600 as of Tuesday she
just started bawling.
Dragone told the story of
her first night home from
the hospital, when a total
stranger showed up with 13
bags of groceries. Brekke,
she said, showed up the
weekend before last with 26
bags of donated groceries.
The amount is so impressive,
Dragone said, the family is
using a spare bedroom to
store the non-perishables.
It has helped us tremendously, Dragone said. We
cant even begin to thank all
these people Im the type
of person that wish I could
thank each and every one of
these people personally.
Those wishing to donate
can do so online, at gofundme.com/782swu6w, or sign
up to cook and deliver the
family a meal at mealtrain.

properties, he wanted to do
the same.
Preserving the history of
any community only adds
to the charm and significance, Glysch said. It's
about bringing our past into
the future.
He said the brochure is a
way to give people another reason to visit Oregon,
whether they are driving,
walking or making use of
the villages new bike path.
We want to encourage
residents and visitors to
come and enjoy these new
biking opportunities, he
said.

Come and get them

Oregon Chamber of
Commerce executive
director Judy Knutson said
the brochures are available
at no charge at the Oregon
Village Hall, Chamber of
Commerce, senior center, library and Village of
Oregon Welcome Center.
They include QR codes
to link smartphones with
the Oregon Chamber of
Commerce and historical
society websites for more
information.
Were trying to get
people to come to Oregon,

we thought this would be

an annual fall event, she
said. People can walk,
and its for anybody whos
really interested in history;
it shows some of the buildings, some of the houses,
and we also added the new
bike trail on there to bring
people into town. The
hope is to get this out to
other communities to bring
people in to patronize our
businesses.
Knutson said the brochure is a great example
of collaboration between
like-minded groups in the
village the Friends of
the Historic Oregon Water
Tower, the Oregon Chamber of Commerce, the Oregon Historical Society and
the Village of Oregon.
It turned out wonderful;
were very pleased with
it, she said. Were hoping this fall, with the welcome center open, we can
have people in for a tour,
and they can walk about
and see the old buildings
and know what they were.
We just ask that they
pick one up and come on
and explore Oregon.

Russian: Surprised every five minutes
Continued from page 1
staff and administrators
welcomed the teachers and
families stepped forward
and opened their hearts and
homes, she said.
I am grateful to have
the opportunity to see my
community through the
eyes of Olga and Elena and
I want to thank everyone
who contributed to their
journey of discovery here.

Surprises at UW
Shipilova, who served
as translator during the
teachers interview with
the Observer last week, is
an English teacher Gymnazium No. 2 in Bryansk
who hosted two groups of
American teachers during
the past two years, including Kindschis group last
winter. Dorokhov teaches
history and is principal of
a school in the village of
Sagutievo. She also hosted
two groups of American
teachers, including Kindschi in 2014.
Shipilova said during
the first week in the country, the teachers visited the
UW campus and met with
students and teachers from
the UW Center for Russia,
East Europe and Central
Asian Studies. She said
was impressed how many
American college students
study Russian.
They know so much
about Russian culture,
their Russian is fluent,
Shipilova said. My first
question was, Are you
Russian?
The teachers were pleasantly surprised to find
out how many Russians
live in Madison, some of
whom they had the chance
to meeting, including one
man from Bryansk Province, where they are from.
That was so exciting,
wow, Shipilova said. It
was really wonderful, now
we have Russian friends
here, and we have American friends here.
After touring the campus and doing some shopping, the teachers had a
chance to admire the
lakes surrounding the
city, and to try some local

cuisine Wisconsin specialty cheese.

Its a gorgeous experience, she said. We do
have cows and cheese (in
Russia) but no competition, youre the winners.

Hospitality in Oregon
During the second
week, the teachers visited
Oregon High School, the
middle school and several elementaries, including Brooklyn Elementary on Friday, and were
impressed with everything we have seen, she
said.
I keep telling Lou
Kindschi that we are surprised every five minutes,
Shipilova said. Of course,
we expected to gain experience, but we never could
have expected this experience to be so tremendous.
Warm welcoming, hospitality, openness, smiles,
curiosity, new ideas we
have so much to speak
about when we are back
home. Every moment is
surprising; every experience is so helpful.
The Russian teachers
were delighted at how
curious the Oregon students were, and how many
questions they had, particularly about the differences between schools in
the two countries.
For example we have
11 grades instead of 12,
and (students) start at 6
and a half, Shipilova said.
We have every grade in
one building, and we have
uniforms in our schools,
and your students dont.
You have lots of posters
and visual images and its
very supportive, its very
nice your classrooms
are extremely equipped,
ours are not.
Dorokhov, who teaches
10th and 11th grade history in a village in Bryansk
Province, said through
Shipilovas interpretation that she was really
impressed with Oregon,
which was much larger
than she imagined.
We were told its a village, but from our point of
view, a village is different in Russia, Dorokhov

ConnectOregonWI.com

said. We consider it to
be a town, something
like that. Our villages are
pretty much different from
yours.
She also came away
quite impressed after several meetings with district
teachers, and watching
how they interact with
their students.
Were surprised the
level of education and the
dedication and inspiration
of teachers is really fabulous, its wonderful; and
such a warm welcome and
hospitality, Dorokhov
said. Were surprised by
that level of cooperation
between teachers and students, though it seems its
a bit free nevertheless,
they know all the rules,
and follow the instruction and they are really
wonderful, their behavior
is gorgeous, and they are
really curious, in the way
that students are supposed
to be.

Inspiring experience
Dorokhov said the
teachers are very thankful to Kindschi for organizing and hosting them
in Oregon, and for all the
students and teachers they
met in their week in the
village.
We are inspired by
young people who want
to study; who want to
learn; who want to gain
this experience too, she
said. And for our young
people, they are also eager
to find out something for
them. Every experience is
positive, inspiring.
Shipilova said she was
fortunate to be able to
spend more time with
Kindschi, who she considers a role model as a
teacher.
Shes such an amazing
lady an inspired teacher
and an inspiring one, that
is why I think its great
experience just even to sit
next to her and look at her
and follow the way she
teaches, Shipilova said.
That is why this experience will be of great use;
we have made so many
friends to keep in touch.

Mortensen
honored
A bronze bust of Phil Mortensen,
Brooklyn Fire Chief for 38 years,
was dedicated following the
Brooklyn Fire/EMS pancake
breakfast on Sunday, Oct. 4.
Representing the departments,
above from left, are John
Beranak, firefighter; Evelyn Hall,
EMS; Tom Bowers, Brooklyn Fire
Chief; Bill Brockman, firefighter;
Kyle Mortensen, firefighter, and
Todd Mortensen, sons of Phil
and Sandy Mortensen.
A plaque near the bust, lower
right, reads: This statue recognizes the significant contributions of
Chief Phil Mortensen to firefighting, emergency services and the
Village of Brooklyn. He devoted
much of his life to the fire service
to protect and serve the community he loved. He always gave
more than he had to give and
made every effort to help those in
need. He led the department by
example and deeply touched the
lives of everyone he encountered.
He was loved by his friends, family, colleagues and community,
and was greatly respected for his
compassion and extensive knowledge of firefighting.
Phil joined the Brooklyn
Volunteer Fire Department on
Jan. 1, 1966 and became Fire
Chief in 1974. He served the
department for 46 years, 38 of
those as chief. He was instrumental in the formation of the
Brooklyn EMS Service in 1996
and his tireless efforts made it
possible to obtain funding for,
design and build the current
facility housing the Brooklyn Fire
and EMS Services since 2006.
Chief Mortensen was truly a local
hero.
