Board expected to

BILL LIVICK
An Oregon resident who

had applied for a liquor
license to sell wine and
beer in the Oregon Ice
Arena has withdrawn his
application.
But Shaun Peterson,
whod planned to open
Lucky Puckers Bar and
Grill, wrote in an email
to the village that the OIA
board of directors would
be submitting an application listing me as the agent
in the near future.

The item was on the Village Boards agenda Monday.
Village administrator
Mike Gracz on Monday
said the village had not
received a recent liquor
license application from
the ice arena board. He
also noted that the school
board had opposed any
alcohol sales in the ice
arena as long as the high
schools alternative program, OASIS, is operating
in the facility.

During tough times, its nice to have

some help, and now families in the
Oregon School District have a growing group of friends who intend to
do just that.
Looking to fill a void in the community, Christine Erickson, Krista Flanagan, Karin Victorson, Wendy Borden
and Julie Swartzmiller all parents of
district students have been working
for months to found the Friends of
Oregon School District. The group is
ready to go for the upcoming school
year that begins Sept. 1, with a goal to
help provide food for district students
in need.
Erickson, who serves as a spokesperson, said the main impetus for
starting the group was to build a

community around the kids in need

and eliminate basic need barriers to
learning as the number of impoverished students grows.
We believe that education is really
the key to building a rewarding future
for those kids, she said, adding a
quote from educator Rita Pierson:
Every child deserves a champion;
an adult who will never give up on
them, who understands the power of
connects and insists they become the

best they can possibly be.
Erickson said that 10 years ago, the
number of OSD students who qualified for free or reduced lunch was
around 5 percent. Today, its nearly
20 percent, including more than 700
students.

McKinley Younggren, who finished sixth in the girls age 5/6 division, begins the bike portion of her triathlon while her teammates cheer her on.
Kids Tri-ing
Oregon played host to the annual Oregon Kids Tri event Saturday morning, with
kids ages 5 to 17 participating in a swim,
bike and run that took them around the village.
The swim leg of the race took place at
the Oregon Pool. When done swimming,
participants went outside to find their bike
and then rode a loop out as far as Schuster Road, though kids ages 5-8 only went
to Veldor Street before starting their return.
The final leg of the race, running, took
ages 5-8 runners to North Oak Street on a
half-mile loop, while those ages 9-17 ran
a loop to North Perry Parkway, with those
between the ages of 13 and 17 running part
of the loop twice. Each running loop finished in Kiser Park, where the festivities
included a raffle, concessions and an eventual trophy presentation for the top finishers in each age group.

Village planner identifies

land for future athletic fields
BILL LIVICK
The village is running out of space

for athletic playing fields and is in the
process of determining where a future
sports complex could be developed.
At its Aug. 3 meeting, the Park Board
considered six potential sites that village planner Mike Slavney, of Vandewalle and Associates, identified for
future athletic fields. All six sites are
outside but close to the villages borders.
The Park Board declined to make any
recommendations to the Village Board,
which met Monday to discuss the list of
sites.
We didnt know what the potential budget impacts might be, Trustee
Doug Brethauer, who also sits on the
Park Board, said in explaining why the
Park Board decided not to recommend
a site.
The Village Board briefly discussed
the list of potential sites at its meeting Monday. But at the suggestion of
village administrator Mike Gracz, it
deferred any decisions until October,
when the Park Board and Village Board
hold an annual joint meeting.
The Village Board authorized
Slavney to begin looking for potential sites in June. He and his colleague
Jackie Mich prepared a map identifying six possible areas and listing the
Future athletic
fields
Potential sites for development of
sports complex
Site 1: an 88-acre parcel north of the
village in the city of Fitchburg, south
of County Hwy. M
Site 2: a 77-acre parcel west of the
village in the Town of Oregon, land
owned by Phil Peterson
Site 3: an 89-acre parcel west of
Union Road, south of the village,
adjacent to Anderson Farm County
Park
Site 4: a 90-acre parcel west of the
89-acre site on Union Road. The
property is owned by Dane County,
was purchased from the Lyman
Anderson family and is included in
a Master Plan for development of
Anderson Farm County Park.
Site 5: an 82-acre parcel at the
southwest corner of the Hwy. 14/
Rutland Dunn Townline Road intersection
Site 6: a 79-acre parcel immediately
west of site 5.
characteristics of each property.
Among the criteria they used in locating potential sites was that they should
consist of at least 80 acres and be contiguous, generally regular-shaped and
free of impediments to development.
The board authorized Gracz to continue working with Slavney and Mich
to narrow the options and prepare a recommendation for the October meeting.
Well probably present both boards
with the top two options, Gracz told
the Observer. I think we could eliminate some from the list and then ask the
boards which of these do you want us to
pursue, if at all?
He explained that the village
wouldnt necessarily have to annex the
property in order to develop a sports
complex. But thats a likely path to
developing the property, Gracz said.
Eventually you would probably
want to annex it because you would
want to run water and sewer for
restrooms, but it wouldnt have to be
something wed have to do immediately, he explained.
Judy Knutson, executive director
of the Oregon Area Chamber of Commerce, told the Observer she got on
the Park Board to make this happen.
We want to have a sports complex
in Oregon, she said. Right now they
have soccer in like four or five different
places.
She noted that the Oregon School
District has been developing more fields
in Jaycee Park East, but they want
those fields for games, not practice. It
would be nice to have tournaments and
games all in one place.
Anyone in the park and rec business
will tell you there are never enough playing fields, Gracz said. That goes without saying, theyre in such demand.

Pope defeats Oregon challenger Joseph

Incumbents Ozanne,
Gallagher win
county races
An Oregon man running

for the Democratic nomination to the Wisconsin State
Assembly was soundly
defeated by incumbent Rep.
Sondy Pope.
Luke Josephs race was
among the few contested
elections on ballots in the
Oregon area Aug. 9. Others included the incumbent Dane County District
Attorney and County Treasurer, who each won their

races, and Don Vruwink,
who defeated Anissa Welch
for the Democratic nomination in Assembly Dist. 43.
No Republican primaries
were on the ballot in Oregon.
Incumbent DA Ismael
Ozanne and County Treasurer Adam Gallagher, who
emerged in a three-way race
with 44 percent of the vote,
will both run unopposed in
November.
Pope will also run unopposed in the general election
after defeating Joseph,

whose campaign site listed
positions including concerns
with Common Core education standards, support of
free market with minimal
regulations and the belief
that life starts at conception.
Pope won with 84 percent
of the vote, including a 565
to 113 victory within the
Village of Oregon.
Vruwink will face
Republican Allison Hetz in
the general election for the
Dist. 43 seat being vacated by State rep. Andy Jorgensen. The district covers
the east side of Oregon, a

small part of Stoughton and
parts of Jefferson and Rock
counties.
Vruwink defeated Welch
by 78 votes, 485 to 407,
representing a 9 percent
victory.
Former U.S. Sen. Russ
Feingold defeated Scott
Harbach in the Democratic
primary with 94 percent of
the vote. Feingold will face
incumbent Republican Ron
Johnson in November.
The general election is
Nov. 8.

Bar: High school still at arena

District superintendent Brian Busler mentioned in an
Aug. 4 email that the 201617 school year would be
the final year that OASIS is
housed in the ice arena.
Last year, the Village Board
expressed skepticism about
the OIA board of directors
application to sell beer during
Wisconsin Whaler hockey
games. The board never voted on the matter because OIA
withdrew its application.
At the time, Trustee Jeanne
Carpenter spoke against the
idea, saying the arena is a
youth sports facility and she
didnt think that selling beer
was the way to keep it financially viable.
The Whalers are aged 18
to 21, and I just dont see the

wisdom of serving alcohol
at an event where the kids
playing hockey arent even
old enough to drink alcohol
themselves, she said.
Board members on Monday didnt express opinions
about Peterson withdrawing
his application or his statement that the Ice Arenas
board of directors would
soon apply for a liquor
license.
Rink manager Ben Cowan confirmed Tuesday that
Peterson would be listed as
the agent for the OCI liquor
license. He anticipates the
board considering an application at its first meeting in
September.

Board approves
$8,800 for stateof-the-art video
technology
BILL LIVICK
OCA Media is about to

improve its image not the
organizations public persona, but the quality of its
product.
Cable Access director Paul Zwicker told the
Observer that our spirits
are soaring after the Village
Board Monday unanimously approved the organizations request to spend about
$8,800 on new equipment.
Its all about putting out
a better product, he said
Tuesday. Now we can go
to local businesses and have
the equipment to do a really
good job for their marketing
videos.
OCA Media plans to buy
two professional level
camcorders at a cost of
about $5,700 along with
about 20 other items to support the matching camcorders, which Zwicker said
have good optics and light
sensitivity.
But its not only local
businesses that will benefit
from OCAs improved technology. Zwicker said the
new equipment will have
multiple camera applications and allow OCA staff
to cover a football game
or a high school graduation with better results and
clearer images.
He and OCA Media
Board of Directors president John Bonsett-Veal
played a two-minute promotional video for the Village Board Monday in their
pitch to get the funding.

Were only as good as
the equipment we have,
Bonsett-Veal quipped when
Zwicker had some trouble
getting the video to play for
the board.
The village collects Charter Communications franchise fees to fund OCA
Medias budget. Village
administrator Mike Gracz
estimated theres about
$150,000 in the fund.
Zwicker and Bonsett-Veal told the board that
cable access staff members have often used their
own personal equipment to
improve coverage.
We had limited resolution and poor imaging in
the past, Bonsett-Veal said.
I began volunteering for
OCA Media in 1989 and
used my own equipment.
He said the organization
needs to stay current with
technology changes.
Trustee Jeanne Carpenter voiced support for
the request. She said staff
members like Tim Olson
and Frank Caruso are
award-winning videographers and shouldnt have to
use their own equipment.
Trustee Jeff Boudreau,
who sits on the OCA Media
Board of Directors, called
the organizations staff
highly dedicated and highly motivated before moving to approve the funding
request.
Zwicker told the Observer hed hoped to have the
new equipment in place
for the first Oregon High
School football game on
Friday, but thats not going
to happen.
We expect to have them
next week, he said.

Solitary confinement is mental torture

The 22,500 people incarcerated in Wisconsins prisons are
largely hidden. Although the
United Nations has declared solitary confinement for more than
15 days to be torture, about 20
percent of Wisconsin inmates are
held in solitary confinement each
year some for weeks, some for
decades.
Imagine spending 23 hours a
day in your walk-in closet and
almost never having human
contact, all because you broke a
minor rule, were labeled as dangerous a decade ago or sought
legal action against your prison.
While 15 days of solitary confinement may be a useful tool for
controlling some prisoners and
punishing more serious infractions, isolation has been shown
time and again to cause and exacerbate mental illness if used for a
longer period of time. In the past
two months, six or more Wisconsin inmates most at Waupun
Correctional Institution have

participated in a hunger strike to
protest the liberal use of solitary
confinement in our state. They
are hoping that if enough people
get involved and show support,
legislators and the Department of
Corrections will stop long-term
solitary confinement. Meanwhile,
other states have reduced the use
of solitary confinement and have
seen violence against prison staff
decrease.
If you support ending torture
and violence in our prisons,
please show your support for the
Dying to Live campaign to end
the mental torture of those currently in prison. Contact your legislators, sign the Waupun Solitary
Torture petition on Change.org
and find out what else you can do
to help.

Common senior mistakes

can leave you vulnerable
he seniors I interact with on

a daily basis are generally
a fairly wise bunch. They
have been around long enough to
accumulate a lot of experiences
and have learned from lifes
lessons.
Yet I see many seniors making the same mistakes that leave
them vulnerable. These relate to
everything from falls and scams to
driving and social needs.
Be a smart
senior, and
avoid these
common errors.
Many seniors
invest in a
personal emergency response
system, such as
Lifeline. This
Brickner
is great. But if
I had a dollar
for every time I visited a seniors
home and spotted a Lifeline hanging on a doorknob or sitting on a
counter, I would have a tidy sum
to donate to my favorite charity.
When I call people out on this,
they tell me they dont think they
need to wear it all the time. This
boggles my mind. They cant control when they fall or when theyll
have an emergency.
All too often, people fall and
cannot get help because they cant
get to a phone. This sad situation
is even sadder when the person
actually had invested in the means
to summon help and chose not
to keep it near enough to benefit
from it.
Another problem relating to
falls is throw rugs. Most seniors
would be wise to get rid of them.
Some people seem to have a
house full of throw rugsand
every one of them is a hazard.
Often people are reluctant to part
with them.
I have never understood how a
throw rug could be dearer to people than their own bones, but that
seems to be the case. Be your own
best friend and ditch the rugs.
Another common error that
many seniors make has to do with
Medicare Part D, which covers

prescription drugs. Too many people choose an initial plan provider
and never review that decision in
subsequent years.
Seniors are entitled to change
plans every year during open
enrollment in the fall. It is often
economically advantageous to
switch to a different company.
Brand loyalty can hurt you in the
pocketbook, so have the staff at
the Oregon Senior Center or your
pharmacy help you review your
Part D choice each fall.
Driving is another problem.
Over the years I have worked at
the Senior Center, exactly one
senior has contacted me asking
how to get his driving skills
assessed to see if he was still safe
to be on the road.
I cant tell you how many other
conversations I have had with
people about seniors and driving.
Generally they fall into two categories: people expressing their
concerns about someone who is
no longer safe to drive or seniors
upset that anyone is questioning
their driving ability.
People tend to forget that driving is a privilege rather than a
right. Seniors need to invest in
themselves and keep their skills
sharp.
Take advantage of the AARP
driving courses that are available,
participate in CarFit to make sure
your car fits you, use some of the
great online resources to improve
your driving. And when your family, friends, neighbors or doctor
start making noises about your
driving, listen to them.
We are a car-centric society, but
alternatives to driving your own
car everywhere do exist, even here
in Oregon.
Something that can be difficult
to imagine getting you into trouble is being polite. But it can. If
seniors could get over their aversion to hanging up on telephone
callers, fewer of them would be
the victims of scams.
This is because callers with
less-than-pure motives prey upon
seniors who do not want to be

perceived as rude. Remember the
old caution about not talking to
strangers? Apply that maxim to
your own incoming phone calls
and you will greatly reduce the
odds of being caught up in a telephone scam.
Some seniors will chat with
strangers on the telephone simply
because they are lonely. Loneliness is a fact of life for many
older people, but it doesnt need
to be. Too many people stop making efforts to stay connected with
other people.
The reasons for this are as many
and varied as the seniors themselves.
The unfortunate choice I see
many seniors making, is to continue with the same lonely routine. It
often requires a change to escape
that loneliness, but too many
people do not want to make any
changes.
For some, a commitment to a
volunteer position would help
greatly, for others moving into a
setting that provides daily human
contact would be a way address
the problem.
Spending time at the senior center can help with loneliness, but
it is interesting how many people
think they are not old enough to
come to the Center. Believe it or
not, I have had people over 90 tell
me that the senior center is for
old people.
I guess many of us perceive
ourselves as perpetually young,
while we think everyone around
us is really getting old. That is the
only reason I can come up with
that would explain why people in
their 80s and 90s think that the
60- and 70-somethings at the center are too old to hang out with.
Be a savvy senior and invest
in yourself. Be safe and listen to
those who want you to be safe,
and dont let loneliness, complacency or ageism keep you from
socializing.
Rachel Brickner is a case manager at the Oregon Senior Center.

If You Go
After raising $1,000 last year for

Neighbors In Need of Assistance, the
fourth annual Grill For A Cause will
again benefit the nonprofit at the Aug.
27 event.
The fundraiser will run from 11a.m.
to 6p.m. in Brooklyns Legion Park,
with yard games, chicken bingo and
live music at 1p.m. provided by Back
40.
Organizer Milly McCartney said in

party in her backyard evolved into a
cook-off when she realized she could

DCSO Drive Sober campaign starts Friday

In a joint effort to fight the effects of drunken driving which claimed 190 lives in the
state last year the Dane County Sheriffs
Office will participate in the national Drive
Sober or Get Pulled Over campaign.
Drivers can expect additional enforcement on the roads for the annual campaign.
It runs Friday through Sept. 5 and is funded
by a grant money provided by the Wisconsin
Department of Transportation that aims to
focus solely on intoxicated drivers, according to a DCSO news release.
The sheriffs office suggests people arrange
for a designated driver before they begin
drinking, report impaired drivers by calling

911 and opt for taking a cab or a bus if they
feel theyre even remotely near the 0.08 BAC
limit.
Drivers can also download a free Drive
Sober mobile app, created by the Zero in
Wisconsin traffic safety program, by visiting zeroinwisconsin.gov. A number of area
taverns and restaurants also participate in a
Safe Ride program that offer customers a ride
home; for information, visit tlw.org and click

Living in Harmony with Others

We all know at least one person who seems to get along
with everyone, the person who always has a smile on his
or her face and who never has a cross word for everyone.
What we should learn from them is that people are nicer
the nicer you are to them. In other words, kindness is
contagious, and people act as mirrors for other peoples
emotions. Good public speakers know that its easy to get
a crowd riled up, or calmed down, because we are emotional creatures who mirror the emotions of those around
us. Modern neuroscientists have discovered that we have
mirror neurons which trigger emotional responses in
ourselves after seeing them in others. The practical import
of this is that its easy to improve our world by simply
treating others with loving kindness and trying to live in
harmony with those around us. When those around us are
friendly and return our kindness this is quite easy, but it
becomes considerably more difficult when those around
us are angry or hostile, especially if they are attacking us.
In that case we have to make a conscious effort to overcome what our brains and bodies are prompting us to do
and to turn our scowls into friendly grins.
Christopher Simon, Metro News Service
Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not
curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those
who mourn. Live in harmony with one another.

Returning to the links
Three starters, four

letterwinners back in 16
Anthony Iozzo
Assistant sports editor
Frank LaVoy helped start the Oregon High School girls golf program
18 years ago, and after being called
back to coach the team last fall after
a six-year hiatus last season, LaVoy is
back for his 12th time at the helm.
With three returning starters and
four letterwinners back this fall, the
experience is there for the Panthers.
And it helps to have a steady No. 1
player as senior Taylor McCorkle returns to start on varsity for the
fourth time. McCorkle was named
team captain this season.
Currently in first place (1,365
points) in the Player of the Year
standings in the Wisconsin Junior
PGA, she has won four tournaments
this summer including the Wisconsin Junior Championship in June
and also represented Team Wisconsin
in the annual Wisconsin-Minnesota
PGA Junior Cup.
McCorkle qualified for the WIAA
Division 1 state tournament last season, finishing tied for 29th (82-88170). She also earned first-team All
Badger South and second-team AllState nods following the season.
She is being called upon to lead the
team after the Panthers lost graduates
Jenny Johnson (first-team All-State,
honorable mention All-State), who
was captain for the Panthers in 2015,

Varsity players and returning letterwinners for the Oregon girls golf team (from left) are: Sydney McKee, Andi
McCorkle, Ally Payne, Taylor McCorkle and Brooke McCallumm.
and Olivia Davis, who LaVoy called
the glue that kept the team together
last season.
We have one of the best examples in the state for the Oregon girls
to learn from, LaVoy wrote in a preview questionnaire. She (McCorkle)
comes to practice with a purpose and
is focused on a goal, always working
on different parts of her game.
She is fantastic with her
teammates, players from other

schools and even their parents and
anyone who ever approaches her. So
our team is solid and in good hands
with her leadership.
Also back in 2016 is Taylors sister
Andi McCorkle and sophomore Sydney McKee. Both girls went backand-forth between the No. 4 and No.
5 starters on varsity.
LaVoy said both have been
working on improving their game

for this upcoming season. Andi
McCorkle has finished as high as tied
for eighth in the Yahara Hills/Bucket
of Hope tournament at Yahara Hills
Golf Course during the Wisconsin
Junior PGA summer tour. In seven
tournaments, she has a 45.875 average per nine holes.
Andi McCorkle finished with a
105 at regionals and a 104 sectionals
in 2015, while McKee had a 102 and

a 122. Regionals was at Foxboro
Golf Course, Oregons home course.
Sectionals was at Odana Hills Golf
Course.
Both (Andi McCorkle and McKee) have great upside and are very
athletic, LaVoy wrote in a preview
questionnaire. (They have) Great
swings and a good mind for the
game.
Sophomore Ally Payne also
returns after starting in a few meets
in her first season. LaVoy said she
showed progress throughout the season and is now showing a determination to be better in 2016.
She worked hard on her game this
summer, and I expect to see more
consistency from her and less frustration, which golf does to anyone who
wants to be good, LaVoy wrote.
There are others in the mix to
either start on varsity or be one of
the top girls on junior varsity at times
this season. Lavoy said he saw a lot
of potential in Anna Urbanowicz and
Shannon King who both joined the
team late in 2015, and he added that
Alex Dempich, Brooke McCullun,
Jane Muatz and Maggie Simpson all
showed progress in their games by
the end of the season.
LaVoy is also hoping to recruit a
few members to the mix this year.
So far, three girls have contacted
me about playing. Im always looking for that diamond in the rough or
those girls that just want to give it a
try, he said. There are so many
great values to learn in playing golf.
Girls tennis
Quartet to lead Oregon at the net

Jeremy Jones
Sports editor
An assistant coach with the program a year ago, Costin Fink inherits
a young Oregon girls tennis team this
season with just four returning letterwinners.
Junior Julia Gerhards finished last
season 10-8 at No. 3 singles, taking
fourth place at the Badger Conference tournament. She opens this
season as the Panthers No. 1 singles
player.
Sophomore Isabelle Krier went
6-10 last year at No. 4 singles and
shell play No. 2 singles this season.
Freshman Lisa Dombrowski,
sophomores Rachell Depuydt and
Ashley Johnson, juniors Katie Reisdorf and Mary Sanford and senior
Cortney Mullenberg are all key newcomers Fink said could contribute to
the varsity team this season.
Dombrowski has been playing
No. 3 singles, while Mullenberg and
Dorn have split time at No. 4 singles.
Senior seniors Kalli Choles (6-12)
and her younger sister, sophomore

Sophia Choles (1-2), look to hold
down the No. 1 doubles spot.
Oregon begins the season looking
for the right mix between Johnson,
Depuydt, Reisdorf and Sanford at
No. 2 and 3 doubles.
Senior Jess Bartelt tore her ACL
and will miss the season.
While Madison Edgewood once
again looks like the team to beat in
the Badger South.
Oregon finished third in the Badger South dual meet last season with
a 4-2 record and then placed sixth
overall with 17 points at the conference tournament.
Bay Port Invitational

Oregon opened the season Monday and Tuesday at the Bay Port Invitational.
The Panthers went 2-1 in the opening round Monday, defeating Antigo,
5-2, and West DePere, 4-3, before
being shut out by Franklin, 7-0.
Oregon finished the tournament 3-3
overall.
Gerhards, Dombrowski and

Gianna Schulz earned wins at No. 1,
3 and 4 singles against Antigo.
Gerhards rolled 6-1, 6-1 at No. 1
singles, while Dombowski took her
No. 2 singles match 6-0, 6-4 and
Schulz won 6-2, 6-2 at No. 4 singles.
Sanford and Reisdorf were victorious 6-1, 6-1 at No. 3 doubles, while
Depuydt and Johnson added a 2-6,
6-3, 10-7 win at No. 2 doubles.

to avoid poisonous rattle
snakes and tarantula spiders.

enforcement
The Capital Area OWI
Task Force event in Oregon earlier this month
included 50 stops by
police on a Friday night.
The Aug. 5 overnight
enforcement was split
between Stoughton and
Oregon, and included 12
citations for open intoxicants, operating after
r evo c a t i o n a n d o t h e r
violations, DeForest Lt.
Daniel Furseth said in
an email. There were 94
traffic stops between the
two communities in total.
The Stoughton stops
included three arrests for
Operating While Intoxicated and a felony armed robbery suspect from Juneau
County being taken into
custody, Furseth, who leads
the task force, said.
Among the OWI
arrests, Furseth noted
one was a second offense
in which the driver had
a high blood alcohol
content of .16, double the
legal limit of .08.
The task force is a state
grant-funded program
that uses officers from
more than a dozen departments in one community
to provide a high-visibility presence.
Furseth has said in the
past that the goal of the
enforcements is more
about awareness than
arrests. He hopes it will
get people thinking so
it prevents them from
drinking and driving.

Monday: Vote includes 4

separate items
estimated $237,000 annual
cost after that. A recurring
referendum would allow
the district to exceed its
annual revenue cap each
year indefinitely by $1.5
million, unless a time limit
is specified.
Board president Steve
Zach told the Observer on Tuesday the board
will vote on four different
motions Monday night.
The first two deal with
spending fund balance to
pay for around half of the
cost of the plan through
the districts operating
budget, which requires a
five-vote super-majority
from the seven-member
board.
The other two include a
formal resolution authorizing a recurring override
of the districts levy limit
and a resolution to go to
referendum.
School board members and administrators
have been working on the
teacher compensation plan
for several years, working
with teachers and the Oregon Education Association with a goal to attract
and keep the best teachers.
District officials originally
hoped to include it with
the 2014 capital projects
referendums but decided
to take more time to formulate a better plan, and
hold it during a presidential election to get as many
voters at the polls as possible.
Informing the public

If the motions are
passed, district officials
will ramp up the process
of getting feedback on
the plan from district residents, something Zach
said has already informally started. He said the
board and administrators will talk more Monday night about what the
administrators and board
members can legally do
for a referendum in terms
of advocacy or sharing
information with the public.

the planned teacher
compensation
referendum, call Oregon
School District superintendent Brian Busler at

OSD superintendent
Brian Busler said the district will follow a plan
similar to the one used
with the successful $54.6
million capital referendums of 2014.
In an email to the
Observer on Tuesday, he
said a group of district
speakers is available to
meet, explain the referendum and respond to
questions with community groups or community
members right up to Nov.
8. District officials will
prepare public information
on the referendum to be
disseminated throughout
the community, and they
plan to host a few community meetings to share
information about the referendum as well.
Busler said he will also
be available to meet with
community members or
respond to any questions
throughout the next few
months.
Our goal is provide
background information
about the referendum, why
this referendum is important, what it costs and
how it help transform the
OSD, he said. We look
forward to visiting with
the community on this
important referendum and
sharing the informational
story supporting it.

Board approves funding

for Jaycee Park fields
$1.2 million also
includes money for
splash pad, PAC
SCOTT GIRARD
The sports complex at Jaycee Park East could open by

next spring after the Oregon
school board approved most
of the funding necessary for
the buildings there Aug. 8.
The $950,000 the board
approved makes up a major
portion of the $1.18 million
needed to finish the project,
according to a memo from
superintendent Brian Busler
to board members.
The board approved an
additional $92,000 for a new
sound system at the high
school Performing Arts Center and up to $150,000 as a
contribution to the Oregon
Optimist Splash Pad project.

The Jaycee Park projects funded by the money
approved at the meeting
include a bathroom and concession building, lights for
the baseball and soccer fields,
press boxes, electrical service and a three-story band
building. The difference in
what is needed to completely
finish funding the complex is
expected to be made up with
private sources, district business manager Andy Weiland
said.
Board members discussion
at the meeting turned into a
short debate on the merits
of funding athletics vs. academics, with board member
Gwen Maitzen saying some
people in this particular town
say thats a lot of money to
spend (on Jaycee Park). Maitzen was citing the expected
$1.18 million total to cover
completion costs at Jaycee

but dont qualify, she said.

Almost one in five needs
some kind of help, and we
need to be the connector
piece, to connect those families to resources in the area
and help break down some
of those barriers, so teachers can focus on teaching
students who are in the best
place they can be to learn.
To get started, group
members conducted listening sessions with administrators and teachers in each
of the districts schools
this past winter and spring.
They learned there are four
basic need barriers for
students: hunger, transportation, technology and adult
role models. The group is
first going to address the
hunger issue, Erickson said.
We intend to tackle each
topic but need to do them
sequentially and get a system in process so we do
them right and its a sustainable model, she said.

When we look at what

looking at how weve met
the needs but how used they
are, Zach said. Every one of
these projects is going to be
used over the years.

while the Splash Pad is still

Board member Krista Flanagan supported the funding,

Relevant learning experiences happen inside and outside the classroom, Flanagan
