Group to give recommendation to board Feb. 12 SCOTT DE LARUELLE Unified Newspaper Group

Voters in the Oregon School District could see a referendum for new schools as soon as this fall.

A district task force has concluded new schools are needed within the next few years to avoid overcrowding.

T h e d i s t r i c t ’s t h r e e elementary schools and intermediate (grades 5-6) school will be “out of capacity” within two years, according to an informational letter prepared by district superintendent Brian Busler.

And since building new

schools requires a voter referendum, district voters could see a referendum on a new school or schools as soon as this fall.

“Taking action now will prevent our children from experiencing overcrowding,” Busler wrote.

The letter refers to a 10-member task force the school board created last January to take a longterm look at growth and how to best proceed with any expansion of existing schools or construction of new ones. The district is faced with a student population expected to rise 50 percent by 2030 – mostly from developments planned in Fitchburg and west of the village of Oregon.

Rae Kosharek readies herself to add the final cup to her tower during the Winter Carnival at Brooklyn Elementary on Feb. 2.

Beating winter blues Teachers at Brooklyn Elementary School used their creativity to try to beat the winter blues last Friday afternoon, leading their classes through several activity-stations that involved music, movement and, in a couple of instances, competitive cup-stacking.

One activity had students dance around a circle made up of numbered pieces of paper. When the music stopped, the student standing on the number that was picked was the winner.

There was also a

card-writing station, where students wrote messages that the school will send out to veterans. Most had a valentine’s day theme, and one was a particularly apt rendering of a cat.

Kindergartners in Mrs. Huenick’s class had a dance party set to Pharrell’s song “Happy” that included a how-to for the dance moves.

Mrs. Clemment’s first grade class participated in the cup-stacking game.

Students worked to create a tower of red solo cups with a piece of paper

separating the layers.

When they were done, the challenge was to rip the paper out Jenga-style and have the tower collapse on itself level-by-level.

It was tough sledding for most, with solo cups flying amidst shouts of surprise and condemnation. Those who tasted the rarefied air of success were overjoyed, jumping for joy and pointing their collapsed tower for all to see.

Jaycee Park plans advance User groups would contribute to $3.7 million project BILL LIVICK Unified Newspaper Group

The village is moving ahead with plans to expand and improve Jaycee Park West.

The $3.7 million plan, which would involve a contribution from user groups, got support from the Village Board on Monday. The board asked the consultant that designed the plan to return with a phasing approach, and the

Park Board, which participated in the joint meeting, agreed.

Local sports organizations endorsed a proposal for the village to borrow $1 million for the first phase of redevelopment after the groups raise $650,000 for the project.

The design, presented by the Rettler Corp., shows four ball fields and eight soccer fields, along with two new parking lots, walking paths, three new pedestrian bridges and a “concessions plaza” on 25.3 acres.

The Oregon and Madison police departments are searching for a 17-year-old suspect in the Jan. 31 Max Creek Outdoors burglary.

OPD chief Brian Uhl said police believe Armon Vaccaro, of Madison, is connected to the gun store theft in which 17 Vaccaro firearms, a silencer and cash were stolen from the business around 3:30 a.m. He is being considered “armed and dangerous,” according to an MPD incident report, and is described as 5’10” and 120 pounds.

MPD public information officer Joel DeSpain told the Observer Tuesday morning that MPD’s Burglary Crime Unit has probable cause to bring him into custody in connection with burglaries in the City of Madison, as well as suspected weapons violations.

“We are working very closely with the Oregon PD and Janesville PD, as well as other agencies, as we have several suspects who have been involved in a number of car thefts and burglaries that we believe are connected,” DeSpain said.

While one of the guns stolen from Max Creek was recovered in a stolen car in the City of Madison later that same day, police have not located the other 16 weapons taken from owner Steve D’Orazio’s store.

D’Orazio recalled his n e r vo u s n e s s a s p o l i c e entered his building after an alarm was tripped the morning of the robbery.

“I prayed that they came out of my building safe, and they did,” D’Orazio said. “I truly respect the

Valentines also became more comical than romantic, and much more colorful, with new characters like the Campbell Soup Kids, Felix the Cat and Betty Boop.

The 1930s brought the Disney influence, and Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Snow White and others. During World War II, soldier, sailor and airmen became popular images in cards with a heavy influence on patriotic themes.

By then, smaller cards were sold in sets and targeted to schoolchildren, Woodworth said, and in grade schools across America, they

made boxes for exchanging valentine cards. Teachers also received many Valentine’s Day cards — Woodworth said OAHS founder Florice Paulson was one such teacher who “saved everything,” much to the benefit of the group to which she left many items and artifacts.

“Her collection has added numerous Valentines (and other cards) to the OAHS collection,” Woodworth wrote, noting that the public is welcome to visit the museum, located at 159 W.

Kjellstrom Park gets OK Unified Newspaper Group

The village is ready to go out for construction bids for the Elving Kjellstrom Memorial Park, located at the corner of Braun Road and Market Street.

In a joint meeting Monday, the Village Board and Park Board each unanimously approved a design for the park, and the Village Board authorized public works director Jeff Rau to seek construction bids for the project.

Brian Berquist, of Town and County Engineering, explained the park design

In 2016, the village accepted a donation of the half-acre parcel from the Kjellstrom family, where the small park will be developed near the bike trail as a memorial to the family patriarch.

Elving Kjellstrom, who died in 2012, founded Wisconsin Mold and Tool Company at 895 Market St. in 1946 and incorporated three years later. The company changed its corporate name to Wisco Industries in 1969 and remains one of the village’s largest private employers.

Village administrator Mike Gracz explained that when the village extended Braun Road into the Alpine Business Park several years ago, the extension created a small vacant parcel at the corner of Braun Road and Market Street. The

Kjellstrom family owns the property and recognized it was not useful to the company but would be a nice place for a park to memorialize their father.

Trustee Doug Brethauer asked the designer if it would be feasible to bring water to the site, since it will likely serve as a natural rest stop for cyclists on the Oregon Bike Trail.

Public works director Rau said he hadn’t considered the idea but would look into it, noting the site will have electricity.

The village borrowed $82,000 last year to pay for the park design. Other costs will be paid by the Kjellstrom family.

CC townhomes looking less likely Commission remains opposed, would need to sign off SCOTT GIRARD Unified Newspaper Group

The Village of Oregon Planning Commission is still not in favor of putting townhomes along Hwy. CC as part of the Bergamont development.

And that could sink the plan.

Despite the Village Board’s support for the idea – which administrator Mike Gracz said it had expressed in December – the commission’s approval would be required to make it happen.

That’s because the two lots that Fiduciary, which owns the property, wants to build on are zoned for commercial development in the comprehensive plan, which requires commission approval for amendments.

“Even if the Village Board … wants something approved, if the commission doesn’t approve it as part of the comp. plan, it can’t move forward,” Gracz told the commission.

The Feb. 1 discussion about the idea, four months after the commission first expressed skepticism, indicated approval was unlikely at this point. A third lot the developer wants to turn into townhomes, to the east of

Bergamont Boulevard and north of Drumlin Drive, seemed to have a better chance at approval.

The plan would bring a total of 12 four-unit townhomes to the Bergamont development, with five of those along Hwy. CC and the other seven in the spot to the south.

But commissioners seemed not to be ready to give up on the Hwy. CC properties as commercial developments, even though Fiduciary claims they’ve been on the market since 2003 and received little to no interest for that type of development. Commissioner Scott Meier, a real estate agent, said he was not sure it was an “entirely accurate statement” that they’ve been on the market since 2003, as he couldn’t recall seeing them on real estate websites.

“I don’t think the premise here is necessarily correct,” Meier said. “I don’t think it’s had a fair shot at market value either.”

Meier’s information persuaded commissioner Patrick Molzahn, who had said during an October discussion on the idea that he was OK with townhomes in that spot, now to be “pretty lukewarm” about changing the zoning at this point.

After that initial discussion in October, Gracz brought the proposal to the Village Board in December to get their thoughts. Trustee Jeanne

Carpenter, who sits on the Planning Commission, said board members “wanted to get some property tax revenue” out of the land, but would “respect the plan commission’s recommendation.”

Commissioner John Bieno said he understood why Fiduciary wanted to develop the property as townhomes, but he still opposed the idea.

“We have the benefit of time on our side,” Bieno said. “I still have not heard a good enough argument to give up on the prospect of putting some commercial property here.”

Gracz offered to have Fiduciary come to the next meeting to discuss the proposal, which the commission was open to but not asking for, commission chair Greg Schnelle said.

“If they feel they want to talk to us, fine, otherwise we’re not encouraging them to come here and convince us,” Schnelle said.

While the seven townhomes proposed to the south received far less discussion, Schnelle was also “uncomfortable” with those, as they would be next to single-family homes.

While he said he was “open” to them, he still needs “some convincing.”

With a few suggestions about paths to the building and lighting, the Village of Oregon Planning Commission was mostly happy last week with the concept proposed for the new Oregon Youth Center.

Dan Bertler, the owner of Supreme Structures, which built the new food pantry building, had to make sure at the end of the 10-minute discussion.

“So, no negativity?” he said, looking around to shaking heads.

The Feb. 1 discussion was at a conceptual level only, with the developers wanting to get a feel for what they would need to fix before putting together a full proposal, including a site plan. Bertler said the “barn” concept presented to the commission was one of two they initially brought to the OYC board and students and that both groups liked this concept.

One of the only criticisms came from commissioner John Bieno, who suggested creating more “connectivity with the street” and sidewalk. “ We ’r e a c a r - d r i v en society, especially in

suburban America, but it’d be nice to have something that references back out to the sidewalk and how kids are getting there, as well,” Bieno said.

Commissioner Patrick Molzahn, who called the project “exciting,” also wanted to make sure there was room for the building to expand, given recent discussion in the Oregon School District of projected enrollment growth.

Architect Brett Rottinghaus of OPN Architects said there is about 800 square feet to the south of the building that could become an addition, but they “tried to accommodate that (growth) with this current design.”

Bertler said the next steps will include getting civil engineering on the site, which is not level, before bringing the proposal back in front of the village.

Commision chair Greg Schnelle summed up his thoughts as the discussion came to a close: “This is a great idea, great project.”

Contact Scott Girard at ungreporter@wcinet.com and follow him on Twitter @sgirard9.

Planning in brief Zoning complaint A complaint from a neighbor about noise and light coming from an industrial business on North Burr Oak Avenue sparked a long conversation about the zoning code.

While the Planning Commission did not make any judgment about public works director Jeff Rau’s decision that there had been no violation, the village planner and attorney recommended some changes to the zoning code that could make it more clear. At issue were the definitions of “ambient sound” and what makes a building “enclosed.”

Some of the commissioners were initially hesitant, feeling the code was clear enough and, as commissioner Scott Meier said, they were “trying to fix a problem that doesn’t exist.”

But after attorney Matt Dregne insisted there was a lack of clarity on those items, the commission agreed to let staff proceed with proposing changes and bringing them back for approval.

Other amenities will include a bicycle rack and sidewalk connections to Market Street and the village’s bike path on Braun Road. Landscaping will provide shade trees and evergreens for screening along the park’s southern boundary.

“It’s not a complex site,” Berquist said in presenting his plan.

To see what pedestrians face, we need to walk in their shoes

I

t might seem obvious that using a car is much safer than walking or riding a bicycle or trying to get around in a wheelchair.

What isn’t obvious is whether those of us who drive are willing to acknowledge our own roles in creating the risks everyone has to deal with, much less do anything to reduce them.

One thing is certain: You won’t begin to understand any of it until you try doing some of your workday errands and trips without using a car.

If you are walking and Noeldner bump into someone by accident, you might make them drop their coffee or inconvenience them in some other way.

It is even possible that you could leave them with a skinned knee.

But the chances you would seriously injure them are very low. Oregon does not hire crossing guards to protect schoolchildren from adults who are walking to work.

The same is true if you are pushing a baby stroller or rolling a wheelchair. People on Main Street don’t forbid their children to play in the front yard for fear of people who use these means of getting around.

Bicycling is a bit more dangerous. You can go quite a bit faster, and the rigidity of your bicycle can cause real harm to people who don’t get out of your way in time. Even so, bicycle-pedestrian fatalities are rare.

The risks you create by driving fall into an entirely different category. If you hit someone with your car when driving at 25 mph, it is likely that you will seriously injure that person. If you are going 45 mph or more, you will probably kill him or her.

Bicyclist Shelton Berel would not have been fatally wounded on Lincoln Road on Aug. 5, 2016, if Kevin Meister had been walking or bicycling while distracted rather than driving.

Our knee-jerk reaction – to choose to drive in order to protect ourselves from the risks imposed by other drivers – results in a

motorized arms race. Tragically, we end up creating a riskier community for everyone. And the greatest impact of driving as far and fast and often as most Oregon-area residents do today can’t be measured in broken bones or burials. No, it is that we destroy possibilities to not drive.

In addition to making walking and bicycling and wheelchair use more dangerous than they ought to be, our driving tends to make these means of community access impractical, unpleasant, and sometimes even impossible. Plus the high levels of traffic we generate makes driving itself more hazardous, too.

It’s not fun to honestly confront our own responsibility for creating the risks associated with our use of motor vehicles. Drivers’ education and WisDOT’s bare-bone licensing exams don’t begin to drive enough fear of automotive killing-power into us.

To say auto collisions are “accidents” is doublespeak. Cars don’t accidentally start themselves or accelerate themselves to speeds which can easily injure or kill (although Google is working on it!). And to claim that roads are “dangerous” is baloney, too – even if the “solutions” are usually great for roadbuilders and traffic-circle-designers.

The bottom line is we have absolutely no business getting behind the wheel if we don’t know perfectly well that it is our attitudes and behaviors that make driving dangerous.

One thing you can do is demand honesty and accountability from yourself, your family and friends, your co-workers and members of your congregation. Commit yourself to driving affectionately, as though every person on the other side of the windshield is someone you dearly love.

If you are physically able, do at least one errand per month without a car. Starting now – during winter!

Shopping for groceries is a great way to find out what life is like for non-motorists and lite-motorists. If you live more than three miles from the grocery store, drive to within three miles and do the rest without a car. Not hundreds of pounds at a time, but amounts you can stuff into a

backpack, load on your bike panniers, or haul in a Radio Flyer.

Then tell other people what you are doing and what you are learning from your experience.

Challenge them to ditch the car for some of their errands.

The point isn’t to never drive, it is to not always drive.

We should also demand changes in our public conversations about transportation planning and policy. Right now, it is all too common for government officials and participating citizens to assume that driving, walking, riding bicycles, and sharing transit are primarily matters of individual choice and personal convenience. This is nonsense.

The risks we impose on others because of our transportation mode choices can amount to the difference between skinning a knee versus taking a life.

Nor should we accept the notion that “freedom of movement” basically amounts to a “right to drive,” and to heck with people who can’t or don’t want to drive everywhere. The vehemence of car-centric beliefs is starkly revealed in the hostility that often greets proposals to divert public funds to non-automotive transportation modes and the outcry one hears when landuse plans fail to give the highest priority to automobile-based access.

We also should tell our Planning Commission and Village Board to shelve their ill-considered plans to develop along U.S. Hwy. 138 on the east side of U.S. Hwy. 14. Nobody in his or her right mind expects more than a handful of people to walk or bike through that traffic-circle-clogged interchange on a regular basis. Oregon should be pursuing development options that generate less car traffic, not more.

Despite what some claim, we already have an abundance of space to build up within our existing boundaries. All that is lacking is a vision of a community scaled for human feet rather than automobiles.

Posessed by God “No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God.” – 1 John 3:9 NIV We tend to think of possession in a negative light,for example,saying that someone is possessed by a demon or thinking that someone is possessed by a spirit of greed or envy.But possession can be a positive thing.We can be possessed by God or by a divine spirit,such as love or compassion, to such an extent that these become something constant in our lives. Possession is more than just obsession. When one offers up all of one’s daily thoughts and activities to God, one is on the way to being possessed

by God. When one stays in constant communication with God, praying becomes second nature, and the Biblical advice to “pray without ceasing”becomes a description of our inner life rather than a prescription for how we ought to live. Being possessed by God won’t necessarily change the outward appearance of our lives; we will still have to get up every morning and go to work, but we will do it with a sense that all of these mundane activities are being offered to God, and are being done as a devotion to God. Every breath and every step we take becomes a prayer and an act of devotion, and we are then on the way to living in the constant presence of God. – Christopher Simon

New partner on ‘Wellness Way’ Soleil Wellness and Day Spa expands services, welcomes new business partner ALEXANDER CRAMER

release treatments.

The spa is also planning to sell cannabidiol (CBD), which is an oil extracted from hemp that Pollock says helps fight inflammation.

“The (active ingredient in marijuana) THC is removed from it so … it takes out the element of getting a high,” she explained, noting it will be the only store in the area to sell CBD oils for pets and humans.

Both Malkasian and Pollock view wellness as something independent from traditional western ideas about being sick and getting healthy and look at issues like the over-reliance on painkillers as an example of the system’s shortcomings.

“It’s kind of amazing that in this block alone that we have so many practitioners who are able to treat people without opiates,” Pollock said. “No one should have to live with pain.”

A lot of people she refers for alternative therapies are people who have unsuccessfully attempted to manage their pain using opiates, Pollock said.

Malkasian estimates they have over 1,000 clients who come in on a semi-regular basis. For a business that only has two employees, that adds up to a lot of work. But both Pollock and Malkasian are glad to be busy and able to help people.

“I think if you’re in the wellness practice, you care about people,” Pollock said. “(It’s about) getting their whole body in balance: mind, body and soul.

“Anything we can do to improve people’s wellness, we want to offer here.”

The businesses in “Wellness Way” collaborate in other ways, hosting yoga and spa days where clients split time between two or more businesses, and they’re planning more events like this in the future.

October, the pair marked their new partnership by changing the name to focus more on wellness and renovating their space, which involved knocking down and moving walls, redoing the floors and painting. They did a lot of the work themselves, and say they agreed on almost every decision.

“We renamed because we really wanted people to know that this is a place for people to receive wellness services,” Malkasian explained. “We didn’t want people to think there’s new ownership, but there is a new partnership.”

Over the last few months, Soleil Wellness and Day Spa has undergone quite a few changes: there’s a new name, a new ownership partner, a newly refurbished space and a new and expanded menu of services.

When Linda Pollock bought the business in 2007, it was called Tanlines Optional and offered mainly tanning and red light therapy. In the interceding decade-plus, the business has increasingly focused on whole-body wellness.

In October, licensed aesthetician Megan Malkasian came aboard as a partner and co-owner, allowing the business to offer services like microdermabrasion therapy — a kind of mechanical exfoliation.

“I like to bring more advanced skin care treatments that are the least invasive anti-aging correctives,” Malkasian said.

Soleil is one of a number of businesses in downtown Oregon that focus on wellness: It’s next to The Inspired Mat and Hamm Chiropractic and Wellness and a few doors down from Pivotal Point.

“We joke that this has become ‘Wellness Way’,” Pollock wrote to the Observer in an email.

It’s a lot of competition in a small area, but perhaps unsurprisingly, those in the wellness business don’t quite see it that way.

Tales from the beekeeper Bee Barf Honey owner shares experiences

ALEXANDER CRAMER Unified Newspaper Group

Sue Richards shared stories from her 15 years as a beekeeper on Thursday, Jan. 25 at the senior center. She talked to a rapt audience about what it’s like to own bees, what kind of tricks she uses to keep them happy and what consumers should look for when buying honey.

Richards owns Bee Barf Honey and cautioned those who buy honey in stores to always check the first ingredient, lest it be the dreaded

“partially hydrogenated corn syrup.” She also cautioned against organic honey because bees can fly one or two miles from their hive, making their territory a circle with a roughly four-mile diameter. Surely someone in that area gets Chem Kill on their lawn or Round Up on their corn, Richards said.

Besides one island in Hawaii that is known to be pesticide-free, “if someone’s selling you organic honey, they’re selling you a story,” Richards said.

Richards also explained how she uses smoke to calm the bees in her hives. When bees smell smoke, they think they are in danger, Richards explained. They dive to the bottom of the hive and load up on honey in case they

need to escape and take it with them. In addition to the smoke making the bees docile, this full load makes it logistically difficult for the bees to sting.

If you’re thinking about investing in hives, make sure to befriend your neighbors first, Richards warned.

She recalled that her bees loved to hang out near her neighbor’s pool, which didn’t particularly suit the neighbor.

All her stories were told with a smile, and it was evident that she loves her hobby. “Bees are great creatures,” Richards said.

Brooklyn Elementary hosts winter festival

T h e O r eg o n M i d d l e School band will participate in the Wisconsin Winter Plunge this Saturday, Feb. 10 as a fundraiser.

The plunge team will jump at 1:30 p.m. at the Christy’s Landing, 2952 Waubesa Ave., on Lake Waubesa in Madison. The event benefits seven different nonprofit organizations.

Anyone who wants to help can stop by to take a quick dip in the icy waters of Lake Waubesa. Plungers can pop by anytime between noon and 3 p.m. to be a part of the fun, whether it’s to take a dive on the cold side or donate to the causes.

O ve r t h e p a s t t h r e e years, the event has raised

2 0 1 7 , p a r e d d ow n 1 2 options to four possible “paths’” the district could take, and will present those to the school board at its Monday, Feb. 12, meeting.

All options that will be presented include building a new elementary school and either a new intermediate or middle school, and all but one involve some grade reconfiguration among the schools, the letter explained. In an email to the Observer on Tuesday, Busler said the recommendation did not mention specifically where a school should be built, but identified two areas — the Village of Oregon and Lacy Road interchange.

Busler said he anticipates the school board reviewing the ideas and “likely selecting a hybrid of few ideas.”

Impact uncertain If there is indeed a fall referendum on new schools, it could have a

bigger financial impact than the district’s last two successful referenda.

The most recent one, a teacher compensation referendum in 2016, was for $1.5 million per year, to help the district adjust pay scales to reflect market conditions and the postAct 10 recruiting environment.

That came on the heels of a $56 million capital projects referendum in 2014 that passed by a 2-to-1 margin, just two years after a $33 million capital projects referendum failed by a large margin.

The 2014 referendum passed largely because of the reduced cost to residents, as it was timed to “hit” when the district was shedding debt by paying off earlier projects. While more expensive overall, it only cost $36 per year of $100,000 in property value, versus $50 for the previous attempt.

Keast, Mellum reach podium at Badger Conference meet ANTHONY IOZZO Assistant sports editor

S e n i o r D ev i n Ke a s t a n d junior Steele Mellum both earned spots on the podium Saturday at the Badger Conference meet at Waunakee High School.

Ke a s t t o o k t h i r d a t 1 6 0 pounds, with his only loss against top-ranked Stoughton senior Tyler Dow, and Mellum finished fifth at 126 pounds.

“When I was coming in here, I knew I needed to wrestle my best,” Keast said.

Keast was 4-1 at 160. After being pinned by Dow in 4 minutes, 23 seconds in the semifinals, Keast came back with a pin over Beaver Dam’s James Brown in the consolation semifinals to earn a spot in the third-place match.

He didn’t waste time going to work against DeForest’s Jared Stuttgen. Keast led 7-2 after two periods and added two takedowns, a reversal and a two-point near fall in the final period to run away with a 17-6 major decision. “(Stuttgen) was really strong and really good, and he put me in a lot of bad positions,” Keast said. “I had to actually work through them, and I persevered to get that major.”

Now Keast has his sights set on bigger things in the WIAA postseason. Despite not making it to sectionals before, he said he has high hopes this year after his performance at conference.

“I have a lot of confidence getting third at conference, which is one of the toughest conferences in the state,” Keast said. “Definitely, I am feeling good about it, and I am thinking I can go quite far.”

Panthers fall flat at rival Stoughton ANTHONY IOZZO Assistant sports editor

The Oregon girls basketball team started fast Tuesday at Badger South rival Stoughton, but its early lead quickly eroded in a 50-33 loss.

“They are the second best team in the conference for a reason, and on their home court they know how to play,” coach Adam Wamsley said.

“Yeah, our shots didn’t fall, but we weren’t ready to play tonight ... We weren’t focused and lacked the factor that you need to win a game against Stoughton on the road.

“It was an opportunity for us tonight, and we may have cost us a home game in regionals because of it.”

Balanced attack leads Panthers over Edgewood ANTHONY IOZZO Assistant sports editor

Oregon boys basketball rolled Madison Edgewood 57-31 Saturday to get back to .500 in the Badger South Conference.

The Panthers (8-10 overall, 5-5 Badger South) led by as many as 28 points in the second half and went on a 31-6 run from midway through the first half until midway through the second half.

Senior forward DeAndre Burrell started the run with a putback, and junior forward Carter Erickson followed with a 3-pointer.

Junior guard Nolan Look then knocked down a shot inside and later connected on a 3-pointer to make it 31-14 Oregon.

Senior forward Brandon Blanke started the second half with a 3-pointer from a kickout by Look, and freshman guard Erik Victorson nailed two 3-pointers at the top of the key to make it 40-20 Panthers.

Senior guard Jack Weiland followed with a jumpe r, a n d L o o k k n o c k e d down a layup following a Burrell steal and long pass.

A furious rally by the Icebergs fell one goal shy of forcing overtime Friday as the team lost 3-2 to the conference rival Metro Lynx’s 3-2.

Hockey: Panthers’ season comes to a close Saturday after being DQed from postseason Continued from page 10 of discipline when we get to that power play.”

Teammate Jake Schmaltz added his second goal of the night two minutes later to push the Edgewood advantage out to 4-2.

Hottman tacked on a third-period insurance goal to secure the win, while senior Ben Cegelski stopped 14 shots on goal to preserve the win. Oregon junior Jacob Ayers made 17 saves on 22 shots.

“It’s a tough loss but things weren’t clicking for us,” Libert said. “We weren’t controlling the puck and couldn’t pull the goalie. We’re down by three and you’re just going to make it worse for ourselves, and make the chirping worse, if I don’t protect the guys there. You can’t just tell them to go out there and get it, when we’re not controlling the puck.”

The Crusaders took a

by Drew Lenz but Oregon regrouped to pop in a pair of pucks 26 seconds apart for a 2-1 lead with two minutes remaining in the period.

Junior forward Matt Strassman backhanded a one-time 14:29 into the second period and sophomore Colton Eyers forward scored on a wrap-around 26 seconds later.

U n f o r t u n a t e l y, f o r the Panthers that was enough time to give up the game-tying unassisted goal to Jake Schmaltz with one-and-a-half minutes left before the first intermission.

“We went out and tried as hard as we could, and we were killed for a couple of shortcuts we tried to take,” Libert said. “But I think the guys are finally starting to understand that doing something big is a process. Unfortunately, the

process hasn’t been part of the program for a while.”

Libert, who was hired as an assistant the day before the season started, inherited a team with all kinds of problems when former coach Mike Jochmann stepped down on Jan. 5.

Those problems boiled over in the locker room between teammates and the coaching staff alike and eventually played a role in the team being disqualified from the WIAA playoffs for the second time in five years, as well as the team’s stop scorer parting ways with the team.

“A lot of people will look at this group and say you ended your season ignominiously,” Libert said.

“Inside of that locker room we know better. We can be proud. We did the right things and we’ve grownup and become people that care about other people.

“That’s probably the best gift they could give me in the world.”

Oregon 9, Milton 2 The Panthers returned to Stoughton on Tuesday to face Milton in its final conference game of the year and rolled 9-2.

Junior defenseman Drew Reynolds scored his first varsity goal and assisted on three others in the win.

Perhaps even more impressive, Oregon went the entire game without a penalty, taking the team’s first in the final 40 seconds.

Jacob Ayers made 14 saves to earn the win, while Jason Burke stopped 33 shots on goal for Milton.

The Red Hawks (3-15-2 overall) finished the season winless in the Badger South with an 0-10-1 record.

The Panthers close out the season 2 p.m. Saturday at home against the Brookfield Stars.

“Everyone is kind of down right now, but we just have to try to play with pride for the rest of the season,” senior captain Carson Timberlake said.

Libert unsure of return next season With one game left this season, interim coach Tony Libert said he is on the fence about whether he will return to coach Oregon next season.

It will depend, he said, on what sort of support the school’s administration can offer.

He said it hasn’t expected enough of coaches in the past or offered enough assistance in terms of planning, organization and preparation. The result, he said, was a situation comparable to the classic dystopian novel, “Lord of the Flies,” in which children left alone on a deserted island form a brutal culture.

“These kids tried to take responsibility for the game because they didn’t see any adults helping them,” he said. “They did it by the way they knew how, by yelling at belittling each other because that’s how

their coach had done it (after coach Tony Renlund left in 2011).”

Libert said the players “still respect” Renlund.

But they ended up being blamed for the culture that followed under successive coaches while adults failed to be held accountable, he said.

One result has been two disqualifications from the WIAA playoffs in five seasons as a result of its style of play.

“I don’t know what happened before, but … they pointed fingers at those kids and said, it’s your fault,” Libert said. “The kids didn’t know what to do, so they just doubled down on what they knew.”

Libert said he will discuss the entire situation with administrators and “let them decide”.

“I don’t want to leave these kids, but they deserve better,” he said.

Senior guard Paige Halverson added a 3-pointer, and Oregon ended up down, 44-25, with just over nine minutes to go.

McCorkle scored inside twice more to cut the deficit back to 15, but that was as close as the Panthers would get.

“We will find out on Saturday what direction we are going to go,” Wamsley said. “We have to get our shots back once we get into the tournament, because if you don’t get stops and don’t hit shots, it makes the job tougher.”

McCorkle was getting i n s i d e f o r O r eg o n e a rly, but unlike the previous game, when she had 20 points in the first half against Milton by dominating the post, the Vikings went to a 2-3 zone to limit her possessions in the paint.

Due to the Panthers not connecting from outside in the second half, they couldn’t break the zone, and it allowed Stoughton to pull ahead.

It was a similar result in the 100 butterfly, where only Monona Grove senior Eric Storms bested Lohmeier’s time of 57.02.

The medley relay Lohmeier swam the third leg on was only two seconds off its season-best time despite the absence of senior Ian Charles.

“You have to give props to Blake for stepping up,” coach Rachel Walsh said.

Oregon opened the meet with a slightly surprising third-place finish on the 200 medley relay. Although the Panther relay has posted one of top five fastest Division 2 times in the state this year, that was with senior Ian Charles who sat out this second straight meet for academic reasons.

Lohmeier said the relay’s time of 1:48.87 was good motivation after feeling down about possibly losing Charles for the rest of the season “Even without Ian, we’re looking at a really good time,” Lohmeier added. “It was good to see we can still do a lot without him, but it would be great to see what we can do with him, as we’re seniors and it could be our

“If he is back, we were going to try to qualify for three relays, and those guys on the relays would swim one individual event,” she said.

Oregon February History 100 years ago (1918) • Plans were being made for Dane County high school and grade school boys to become farm hands for the coming season; helping alleviate the farm labor shortage due to the war. The Boys Council of Defense League hope to organize 10,000 boys statewide for the coming spring farm work. Those participating will be given special training in agricultural work during the months of February, March, and April and will also be able to complete their school studies with full credit by April 15th. Many from the Oregon School District plan to participate in the program.

• A letter from Pvt. Elmer Peterson to L. E. Pennewell from Camp Grant (Illinois) dated 27 January, mentioned the cold winter nights and how he was just recovering from the grip [flu] and a bad cold, due in part to his having guard duty on cold winter nights when the temperature would frequently sink to zero and below. His unit had recently been equipped with rifles and was now having manual of arms and machine gun drills. Next they will have gas mask drills. He noted that gas was “one of the most important features of the modern warfare.” They were required to put on a mask and adjust it in eight seconds. Entertainment at the base frequently consisted of a “smoking party” or a talent program. The Y.M.C.A. and K. of C. (Knights of Columbus) provided the troops with many other opportunities for entertainment during the week as well as Sunday Services.

• The partnership between Blaine Hughes and M. J. Wischhoff was dissolved.

The jewelry business will be continued by M. J. Wischhoff. Hughes and Wischhoff had purchased the business from W. J. Laughlin four years ago.

• The high school offered t h r e e n ew c l a s s e s t h i s semester: Practical Agriculture, taught by Mr Balliette; Bookkeeping with Miss Shannon; and Library Methods with Miss Chapman as instructor.

• The school had a half holiday on February 1st when the septic tank became filled.

• The business of Cusick, Richards, & Roberts gave the following notice to their coal consumers: “Owing to the extreme shortage in (the harder) anthracite coal and the strict regulation of the fuel administrator, we will be able to furnish only (the softer) bituminous coal for furnace consumption from now on.”

• Frank Fincher made a trip to Woodstock, Illinois to purchase a “car load” of horses.

• John Cusick entertained a card club at his home.

The hostesses were Misses Mary Cusick, Nelle Kivlin, and Mrs E. F. Kramer. Four tables of 500 were played, with prizes won by Mrs. John Cusick and Mrs. Geo. McDermott.

Park: Trustee says money better spent on library Continued from page 1 involve grading and preparing the site with utilities and parking, at a cost of about $1.5 million.

Village administrator Mike Gracz said “it’s probably going to be at least a month or two� before the Rettler Corp. can provide a phasing scheme for the project, along with the costs associated with each phase.

Trustee Jeff Boudreau was the only board member who clearly didn’t support the overall approach, saying redevelopment of the park is important but not a top priority. He said the village should concentrate on building a new library first, and he cited a new Village Hall and senior center as higher priorities than Jaycee Park West.

Trustees Jerry Bollig and Doug Brethauer also expressed reservations about the project cost, particularly at a time when there are major fundraising campaigns for the library and a new youth center.

But Village President Steve Staton and Trustees Jeanne Carpenter and Darlene Groenier supported moving forward with a phasing plan for the park.

They said the village can work on several projects at the same time. “I feel like I have to think big and broad and not look at one project at a time,� Carpenter said. “We have people here willing to fundraise, so why not do it?�

Bollig asked if there’s a strong demand for redeveloping the park. Gracz responded there is much demand for more playing fields in the village.

He explained that with the extension of North Perry Parkway scheduled to happen this year and the construction of a hotel,

more people would be coming to the village and using the park. “I think the development of athletic fields is pretty important for the village,� he said.

Staton said he understood the financial concerns but said the park would be an amenity that would keep the village competitive in terms of future growth.

He added that “each board each year will have to decide what to borrow for and what to build.�

Boudreau suggested the money the village borrows for the park would be better spent on building the library. “I have not heard how we’re going to move forward with the library project,� he said. “To me, that is the most important project, and the last I knew we were $2 million short of what the Library Board said it needed.�

Speaking on behalf of the sports groups, Oregon resident Jamie Bush said he “loves� libraries but feels the park improvements would affect every family in the village. He estimated there are 2,400 kids playing youth sports in the village and said he’s confident the sports organizations can raise $650,000 for their share of the project cost.

Staton said getting kids involved in sports activities is important for their development as contributing members of society. “I support moving ahead with several projects that are important to the village,� he said.

Groenier agreed and talked about how her children benefited from athletics when they were kids.

She said the park needs to be improved: “I think it’s a great idea.�

Millie was an avid reader and a huge sports fan. She also made it a priority to attend her grandchildren’s sporting and extracurricular school activities and was a frequent staple on the sidelines.

Millie enjoyed travelling back to Finland and Sweden to visit her extended family. She was also the family historian and had countless stories she shared

at reunions and family gatherings. Mostly, she cherished spending time with her family. Millie was one of the kindest and most fiercely independent persons that we ever knew.
