Village of Oregon
Board moves to improve safety on Lincoln

BILL LIVICK
Almost three-and-a-half years ago,

Oregon resident Trevor Passmore
asked the village to improve the safety of Lincoln Road.
He met with the Village Board and
suggested at least lowering the speed
limit on the narrow road from 55 to
45 mph, but the village learned that
the Wisconsin Department of Transportation would not allow it.
Passmore and fellow Bergamont
resident Matt Gerlach were back in
front of the board Monday with ideas

about improving the road.
After much discussion, the board
voted to have an engineering consultant study options for making the
road safer and prepare a cost proposal for the board to consider.
Possible options could include laying down a new asphalt surface and
improving the gravel shoulders, creating an off-road path for people to
use so theyre not on the roadway,
and widening the road.
The road is just 22 feet wide with
little or no shoulder for most of its
length from Union Road in the village to Fish Hatchery Road in the
township. It also has a few steep hills
that can obstruct the view for drivers,
and posted speed limits range from

45 mph just east of Fish Hatchery
to 55 mph for a mile or so, and then
back to 45 and finally 25 mph in the
village.
The Village of Oregon, the Town
of Oregon and the State of Wisconsin each have jurisdiction over specific segments of the narrow, hilly
road, but the Wisconsin Department
of Transportation has the final say on
speed limits.
It is well-known in the area that
Lincoln Road is dangerous and not
conducive for pedestrians and bicyclists, public works director Jeff Rau
wrote in a board memo.

Officials respond to
residents concerns
A fire at Oregon High

School on the morning of
Jan. 5 led to the arrest of a
student later in the day.
Gavin Brown, 17, of
Belleville, was charged in
Dane County Circuit Court
Jan. 9 with felony arson,
with a penalty of up to 40
years in prison or a fine of
up to $100,000. The Oregon
Police Department and the
Oregon Area Fire/EMS District announced the arrest in
a news release the afternoon
of the fire, but Browns
name only became public
after the criminal complaint
was filed Monday.
The Observer is publishing the name of an accused

minor because he is charged
with a felony
as an adult in
a high-profile
crime.
The fire,
which started
just before
10:30a.m.,
caused disBrown
trict officials
to shut down the school
for the rest of the day. Fire
departments from Oregon,
Brooklyn, Fitchburg and
McFarland responded after
the schools fire alarm system was activated when
someone detected smoke.
No one was hurt in the fire,
and it was isolated to a single room, according to the
release.

Firefighters responded Thursday morning to a fire at Oregon High School. While the
school closed for the rest of the day, it reopened Friday.
Fire: Student admitted setting fire

Continued from page 1
police that while he was in
the bathroom, he took the
lighter he had with him and
he was putting the exposed
flame on the plastic handle of the paper towel dispenser that was the source
of the fire.
(Brown) stated several
times he never saw fire in
the bathroom before leaving
the bathroom, but did admit
he was probably the last
one in the bathroom, and he
was using his lighter on the
paper towel dispenser prior
to leaving the bathroom,
the complaint states.
Oregon Fire chief Glenn
Linzmeier said the first
crews on the scene reported heavy black smoke
coming out of that door

near the auditorium, eventually determining the fire was
located in a bathroom adjacent to dressing rooms.
It took crews hours to
get the smoke out, including
shutting down the HVAC
system and the use of pressure fans, the news release
said.
There is definitely some
damage there, he told the
Observer.
OHS principal Jim Pliner
wrote in an email Monday
that the school was able
to use the music wing the
next morning, when school
reopened.
We had a professional cleaning and restoration
company working around
the clock to address the
lingering odor of smoke and

other damage, Pliner said.
They continued working
throughout the weekend
and the area is looking, and
smelling, infinitely better.
According to the complaint, a camera near the
door showed that approximately five to 10 minutes
before law enforcement
was alerted to the incident,
a white male had been in
the area. The OPDs school
resource officer identified
the person as Brown.
A status conference
is scheduled for Jan. 30,
according to online court
records.

Oregon High Schools winter sports games
live starting this week on the villages cable
access TV organizations production of Friday Night LIVE.
OCA Media is enlisting the help of students in the Oregon School
District, especially high
schoolers, who will be paid
(along with staff) while gaining experience producing live
television. Everyone will have
an assigned duty, with opportunities in videography, audio,
scripts, editing and announc- Zwicker
ing.
OCA Media Sports will be live broadcasting six Panther sports games every Friday
night from Jan. 13 through Feb. 17, including
two games each of hockey, boys basketball
and girls basketball, on its ORE 984 cable
channel. The broadcasts will also stream on
OCA Medias YouTube account.
Paul Zwicker, who is starting his second
year as OCA Media coordinator, said in an
email to the Observer that the multi-camera
production with (a) pre-game interview segment and in-camera replays will be a pretty big undertaking.
Were gonna try a lot, he told the Observer. I dont think we have limited ability. I
think we have limited bodies.
Although Zwicker said OCA Media has
been involving high school kids for years,
this production will provide an in-depth look
into a live situation and require the most
hands on deck. He is still looking for more
people to sign up, since each game will need
a crew of up to 10 people putting in four to
six hours each Friday night to run smoothly.
I am estimating that we will put in at least
40 hours of pre-production, readying our
gear and coordinating crew, scripts, editing
new video opens, etc., he wrote.
OCA Media typically budgets for one
high school videographer and a couple of
announcers if possible at each sports game.
But Friday Night LIVE will pull out all the
stops.
You have up to three camera operators,
you have somebody switching those cameras
and directing, an audio operator, a couple of
announcers, somebody doing tape replay and
possibly someone overseeing it that might
be me and possibly somebody helping with
cables, Zwicker said.
He expects it to be a costly production
for the small nonprofit station, but Oregon
Community Bank has agreed to sponsor
Friday Night LIVE to help offset some of
the expenses.
I typically would not do very much programming if I didnt have that support from
our community businesses, he added.
Depending on how the winter sports season goes, Zwicker said hed consider offering another kind of production in the spring,
possibly with more features like post-game
interviews.

Theyre our bread and butter for backup,
Zwicker said. And I need those bodies out
there.
He hopes more and more people get
involved, learn how to edit video and maybe
put on their own shows.
There are certain people who are drawn to
this type of work, he said. TV is a lot more
fun than flipping burgers, in my opinion.
Students are trained and sent out to shoot
an event before reviewing their tape with
OCA Media staff, who provide critiques and
suggestions for the next game.
Its sort of a learn and go kind of thing,
he said.
OHS has a multimedia class where they
can use camera equipment and learn to edit
video, but Zwicker said OCA Media is trying to expand those opportunities for their
personal and professional growth.
At least were exposing them to a technical skill that I think they can use throughout their life, he said. The world is always
going to be filled with video.
Zwicker said he hopes to introduce videography to other people in the community, too,
since staff can only cover so many events.
Were always encouraging parents or anyone to grab one of our cameras and go videotape something, he said. Well put it on
air.
OCA Media values and relies on its handful of volunteers as well, some of which help
announce sports games.
Since many people have other evening
plans during sporting events, Zwicker is
trying to reach out to more parents who are
already attending the games to volunteer.
It takes a community to do this, he said.
And we have a great community and great
support Were kind of like the archivists
of what goes on in this town.
I think were just going to start here and
move forward as we can, he said.

Preparing for growth

With the teacher compensation referendum finally

checked off the to-do list,
officials are turning their
sights toward preparing for
expected growth and a
possible new school in the
not-too-distant future.
That process took a couple steps forward Monday
night as school board members created a task force to
study district population
trends and schools capabilities and listened to information about a new Fitchburg subdivision that could
eventually bring more families into the district.
Real estate agent Phil
Sveum and Fitchburg city
administrator Patrick Marsh
told board members about
the Terravessa plat, part
of the planned Northeast
Neighborhood in the vicinity of Lacy Road, County
Hwy. M and Larsen Road.
While Sveum said it was
still a very general idea at
this point, developers are
considering adding a school
to the neighborhood.
A handout provided to
school officials showed
10.25 acres earmarked for
a possible school, just a bit
northeast of the Lacy Road/
County M intersection.
Sveum emphasized that the
part of the development
starting this spring does not
include the land where the
school could be sited.
It could be done along
the lines of whatever timetable you have, Sveum
said. Were excited to
accommodate this and
be part of a very sustainable
neighborhood in Fitchburg.
Ready to cooperate
Board president Steve
Zach noted that a district
task force on growth
which was approved later in the meeting would
include a Fitchburg resident. He said district officials will be in contact with
Sveum and Fitchburg leaders in the future about the
development, and the possibility of a school being
located there.
Were going to be probably talking with your guys a
lot about this, he said.
District superintendent
Brian Busler, who said hes
been talking with Sveum
and Fitchburg officials
abou t th e devel opmen t
since November, said the
project is coming along
at a really good time. He
noted that any new school
built there would likely be
an elementary school or
a grades 4-5 school, like
Rome Corners Intermediate.
The timing is perfect,
Busler said. This is a very
beginning starting point.
We wa n t e d t o p r ov i d e
(board members) with a
picture of what the future
might look like.
New task force

The district has created
a task force of district residents, parents, staff, administrators and a school board
member to complete a oneyear study on the districts
long-term population, and
its capacity to support that
population. It will examine
whether additional facilities are needed, and if so,
the location and grade level
needed, and how that would
affect existing facilities,
according to a board handout.
The task force will be
under the guidance of the
school boards vision steering committee and will prepare a written report for that
committee by Dec. 1, 2017.
The board will begin work
later this month.

In an email to the Observer on Tuesday, Sveum said
development on the property (owned by Fitchburg

into four phases over 10-12
years, with the first phase
starting construction in
March, and a goal of having
building permits available
for homes and apartments
in November.

completed will have around

Sveum said the preliminary plat and acreage has
been approved by Fitchburg
officials.
He did not yet have an
estimate on how many students would be added to the
district from that area.
Marsh said there is a lot
of projected growth in the
area, and if a new school
were to be built in the
development, it would be
easier to reach for students
from Fitchburg or the Town
of Dunn.

Lincoln: Engineer to study options

But before the Village Board
makes a decision about what to do
to improve the road, village administrator Mike Gracz suggested having an engineer study the options
an idea the board agreed with.
Gracz noted the Bergamont
developer has been placing money
in escrow to put toward improving Lincoln Road and is obligated
to provide about $915,000 toward
that effort.
In 2001, the village received an
estimate of more than $2.2 million
to reconstruct the road.
Town of Oregon Board chair
Wayne Ace attended Mondays
meeting and suggested revising
an agreement between the town
and village over jurisdiction and
responsibility for maintaining the
road.
Currently the town is responsible
for maintaining the southern half
of the road from Union Road to
Glenway Road, while the village is
responsible for the north side of the
road. Ace proposed that the village
take responsibility for both sides
from Glenway Road east to Union
Road, and the town take over maintenance of the road west of Glenway. He received a nod of approval
from village officials, and said he
would bring the idea to the Town
Board for its consideration.
Gracz agreed: It would be a
lot easier to do a lot of things if
we knew what everyone owns and
maintains and so forth.
He said if the town agrees, the

parties would revise an intergovernmental agreement on maintenance of the road thats existed
since 2002.
I think its a good idea, Gracz
said. It doesnt make sense for the
village to do half the road.
In 2013, police chief Doug Pettit
said in order to get DOT approval
to reduce the Lincoln Road speed
limit, the village would have to
conduct a speed study showing
that most people actually drive
close to the proposed limit.
DOT official Ryan Mayer had
written an email to the village
stating that in order for him to be
convinced the speed should be
reduced, the village would have
to provide a study showing that
roughly 85 percent of motorists
drive near the proposed speed limit.
Village President Steve Staton
on Tuesday said that didnt seem
logical.
I dont understand the idea that
the prudent speed is the one that
most people drive, he told the
Observer. Cant they analyze the
road and the shoulder and decide
what is an appropriate speed, as
opposed to saying the speed they
drive is whats good?
He said the village is committed
to increasing the safety of Lincoln
Road and would continue to work
to make it happen.

Clarification
A headline in the Dec. 15 Observer may have been misleading. The
page 8 article was headlined Reese to take over American Family
Insurance. The body of the article more directly stated that the two
branches of American Family Insurance in Oregon would be merging effective Jan. 1. Though Reese will lead the combined branches,
Diane Sliter will continue working at the new, merged organization,
as the article stated.

and 25 or March 11.
Parents may enroll their children
for any of the classes by registering at oregonsd.org/community,
at the Oregon Pool or OSD office.
The cost is $15 per student to cover
expenses and materials provided to
the students. There is no deadline
for registration.
Monday night, about a dozen residents attended to question the

boards intentions. Village President Pat Hawkey tried to reassure
them.
You can assure the people
that we have a year in order
to negotiate this, she told a real
estate agent. We are still in negotiations.
Those will continue Jan. 18 at
a 6:30p.m. meeting at the Town
of Oregon hall, where Town of
Oregon Chair Wayne Ace hopes
board members from each of the
five municipalities represented in
the district will attend.
I want to get this contract done
and get it over, Ace said Monday.
The district covers the Village
of Brooklyn and the towns of
Brooklyn, Oregon, Rutland and
Union. The district board recently
refinanced and raised costs, which
village representatives said Monday their attorney advised them
was illegal.
(The lawyer) says its illegal, we have to listen, said Kyle
Smith. We have to get through
the language to make it legal.
At issue is a provision that
requires the district to cap tax revenue for the EMS department at
$15 per capita unless there is an
outstanding revenue bond. That
existed until recently, when the
bond became a general obligation
bond through refinancing, which
the village said in its withdrawal
letter was illegal.
Four of the five municipalities
recently approved an amendment
to the contract that the village did
not support and voted against. The
contract states that support from
four municipalities would suffice
for an amendment.
The district also would have
raised costs for EMS service to
Contract language
With respect to the budget limits imposed on the Commission, the
budget payment schedule for the Municipalities and the description
of the property located in the Territory, This Agreement may only be
amended by approval of 4 of the 5 Municipalities, subject to also obtaining the express written consent of holders of 75% or more of any
revenue bonds or other any debt instruments issued by the District then
outstanding. In all other regards, this Agreement may be amended by
the approval of 4 of the 5 Municipalities or an affirmative vote of 4 of
the 5 Commissioners of the District, subject to also obtaining the express written consent of holders of 75% or more of any revenue bonds
or other any debt instruments issued by the District then outstanding.
almost $60 per capita, but Trustee Heather Kirkpatrick said the
withdrawal was not about the
money.
This is about how do we fix
the contract so everybody is comfortable with how we operate,
she said. Everybody agrees we
need to pay what we need to pay.
However, the village did not
pay more than $53,000 of its portion of the costs last year, Town of
Brooklyn fire district board member John Marx previously told
the Observer. It also stated in its
withdrawal letter that it would pay
only $15 per capita for 2017.
Hawkey said she had asked
the district what the money was
needed for, and that she had not
received an answer.
We have asked for that information and we have not received
that information, she said.
If the Jan. 18 meeting does not
go well or the village decides to
look for other options, its unclear
where they would turn for services. But they said the withdrawal was necessary to get negotiations going.
We were left with a choice of
accepting the amendments of a

Camilla R. Schloemer
Camilla Schloemer
Camilla R. Millie
Schloemer passed away
Tuesday, Jan. 3, 2017, at
6a.m. at Skaalen Nursing
home.
She was born on Feb. 6,
1922, in West Bend, the

to Rudolph and Rebecca
(Borkenhagen) Schloemer,
both descendants of pioneer Wisconsin families.
Camilla graduated from
West Bend High School,

and travel and spent many
weekends at Loon Lake.
Camilla is survived by
her longtime caring friend,
Fern Klug; eight nieces and
nephews; 20 great-nieces
and nephews; 24 great-great

nieces and nephews; and
extended family and friends.
She was preceded in death
by her parents; siblings,
Edna, LeRoy, Rudolph, Anita, Lloyd, Robert W., Earl
and Myrtle; and many nieces and nephews.
A memorial service will
be held at 1p.m. Friday, Jan.

Save Something for a Rainy Day

The advice to save something for a rainy day probably has
its roots in agricultural traditions, since we cant harvest our
crops in rainy weather, and too much rain can threaten the
entire crop. Likewise, most peoples moods are better during
sunny weather than when its raining, which suggests that
during the sunny times we feel our resources are growing
and somehow diminishing during the rainy times. Though
most of us no longer work in agriculture, we still feel how
apt the advice is. It is natural to feel more secure when our
bank account is growing and our investments are doing well,
and to feel anxious as our bank account dwindles and our
investments take a hit. While we shouldnt worry too much
about our bank accounts or other material things after all, it
shows faith and trust in God when we can live like the birds
of the air and the lilies of the field we must know that winter is coming, and if you havent stored up some food for the
winter (or some money in the bank), youll soon be begging
a handout. And while there is nothing inherently wrong with
asking for help, its always better to be on the giving rather
than the receiving end of a handout. So be diligent in your
work, and create a plan, such as a direct deposit, to save a
little bit from every paycheck for that rainy day.
Christopher Simon, Metro News Service
Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring
wealth. He who gathers crops in summer is a prudent
son, but he who sleeps during harvest is a disgraceful
son.

early Saturday at Oregon High School.
Something had to give when a pair

of undefeated Badger South rivals met
inside Oregon Ice Arena on Saturday.
And while the Oregon boys hockey
team played well in spurts, the team,
which had been averaging 4.69 goals a
game, went ice cold in a 4-1 loss against
Madison Edgewood.
Tonight was kind of a benchmark
game for us to see where we are as a
team, Oregon head coach Mike Jochmann said. That was definitely the best
team weve played so far this season.
We had some good shifts, but Edgewood worked the puck around and
caught us running. Like I told the guys
after the game, I think thats a team we
can hang with.
Oregon entered the game undefeated
overall (11-0-1), while Edgewood was
5-7-1. The Crusaders had played a much
tougher schedule, however, falling twice
to third-ranked Waukesha, fourth-ranked
Stevens Point and honorable mention
University School of Milwaukee among
others.
Despite dominating the first period,
with nearly double the shots on goal and
power-play opportunities as Edgewood,
Oregon came up empty.
That was rough, Jochmann said.
When you have opportunities like that
against a good team, you have to take
advantage. Going 0-for-4 (0-6 overall), I
thought wed do better than that. To their
credit, Edgewood did a nice job. They
were the first team weve played that was
really aggressive with the penalty kill,
and I think that rattled us a little bit.
Edgewood turned the tide for good

Monona Grove 68,

Oregon hosted conference rival Monona Grove on
Tuesday and held its ground
in a 68-61 loss.
Makenna Warnock led
the Silver Eagles with 31
points, but Keisling defended her well for much of the
night, holding Warnock to
six points in the first half.
Warnock did most of her
damage at the free-throw
line, finishing with 17
points.
While the Panthers trailed
27-24 at halftime and hung
in there, they couldnt get
the big basket to pull ahead.
Wrestling
McCorkle scored 12
points in both halves to finish with 24, and Uhl picked
up all of her 16 points in the
second half.
Uhl didnt play much
in the first half due to foul
trouble.
If we had Uhl in both
halves, it could have been a
different game, Sielaff said.
Despite already having
four losses in the Badger
South Conference, Sielaff
said the girls look to continue to improve and hopes to
pick up some big wins in the
second half of the conference season and hopefully
do damage in the playoffs.
She said the girls werent
afraid to take on the Silver
Eagles (8-2, 3-2) and hopes
that confidence continues.
