The human colonists of the new off-Earth community are in trouble, and it’s up to some young engineers to fix the problems and save the day. Who knows? Maybe today’s elementary school exercise might be tomorrow’s “help wanted” ad. Either way, the “City X” project just completed by Oregon School District third- and fourth-graders is just one way students are learning STEAM
teacher Velvet Holmes, one of the district’s leaders in STEAM education, said young students are learning “out-of-the box thinking” and problem-solving skills through STEAM that they’ll use later in school, and The Observer is reporting on how STEAM after that, in the workplace. education is changing around the Oregon “With City X, each citizen has a School District. problem the student needs to solve March: STEAM at OSD overview by creating an invention; it can’t be something already invented,” she told This month: Elementaries/RCI the Observer. “They really have to May: Oregon Middle School empathize and identify the problem, June: Oregon High School and in the end they can use 3D printing or 3D pens to create their invenconcepts to prepare them for a rapidly tion, so that’s been fun.” changing world.

OAFP settles in, expands hours Second date in March a first ALEXANDER CRAMER Unified Newspaper Group
It’s not often in the newspaper business that mixing up dates turns out be a good thing. But that’s what happened after the Observer mistakenly printed the wrong distribution date for the Oregon Area Food Pantry last
month, OAFP board secretary Lynea LaVoy told the Observer. For the first time since its inception in 1986, the pantry held two distribution days in one month. “It actually came about because someone said the Observer posted (March) 22 and 29,” LaVoy explained. “I worked with the interim management committee, (and we decided) that we really needed to be open both days.” The pantry has
traditionally been open for one four-hour distribution day per month, but OAFP board president Tom Kirchdoerfer said “we have no intention to stay that way” – and they’re already adding morning hours to this month’s distribution. After moving into a new, more than $750,000 facility made possible through community fundraising last November, the pantry’s board and management committee have agreed that
they should work toward ex p a n d i n g d i s t r i bu t i o n hours. Making the change, though, has been like “trying to change the engine on a jet plane while it’s moving,” Kirchdoerfer said. “We can’t just say we’re going to take a month off to figure this out.” After fundraising for the pantry kicked off about 20 months ago, OAFP received

K-6 students growing up with STEAM
The 2017-18 school year still has several months to go, but Oregon School D i s t r i c t o ff i c i a l s a r e already figuring out how schools will be staffed for the 2018-19 school year. The Oregon school board talked at length Monday night about administrators’ recommendations to add several positions this fall – some legally required, some to comply with district guidelines. The board is expected to vote on staffing additions at its next meeting on April 23. District superintendent Brian Busler said the district only has funds for about one-third of requests from school administrators. He said some positions are legally required, such as special ed
paraprofessionals, while others are recommended to keep the schools within the district’s preferred class size limits – 22 students or fewer in grades K-3, 25 or fewer in grades 4-6, and 25 students in grades 7-12. Others are on a “watch list” that depends on projected enrollment. In comments prepared f o r t h e b o a r d p a c ke t , Busler said the administrative team “quickly came to the conclusion that the number of positions requested was greater than the available resources.” “Seldom do we have enough funding to address every request that we have,” he told the board. “This is our first draft; we balanced the needed position with the available funds.” District human resources director Jina Jonen said the goal of Monday’s meeting was to explain administrators’ recommendations and “come back to you with a final

The Oregon Village Board approved the design of signs Monday night to go on top of some street signs in the South Main Historic Neighborhood.
No stopping sign-topping in S. Main historic neighborhood SCOTT GIRARD Unified Newspaper Group
Nine street signs in the South Main Street historic neighborhood will soon have their historic designation noted on them. The Village Board approved the design of a street-sign-topper for nine streets in the downtown neighborhood Monday at the request of Randy Glysch, who has worked on historic preservation in the village for years. But the signage, which shows a drawing of buildings in the downtown neighborhood, created some controversy Monday, as well, as Jerry and Bonnie Thiel emailed village officials Friday with objections to the drawn design using images of houses they own. “No contact, no discussion, no request to participate was received by us,” Bonnie and Jerry Thiel wrote in the email. “Our inclusion is only by way of images of certain properties owned by us on a logo which also did not include our approval nor input.” Glysch maintained he had talked with them about the idea and had not heard any complaints about it. “I’ve never heard any word from them until Friday when this was on the agenda,”

Glysch told the board. “I’m just trying to enhance our neighborhood.” While village attorney Matt Dregne said his “gut” told him there would not be a legal problem with using the houses, he also suggested Glysch talk to the Thiels to iron the issue out. “They just seemed to be complaining that nobody had talked to them,” Dregne said. “There seems to be a disconnect here.” The Board approved the design as-is, though the Thiels had requested to “view the signage in person and move forward positively as we have been assured that we are part of the neighborhood.” Trustee Jeff Boudreau took issue with the discussion, as the Thiels were not there to present their side, though the email from the Thiels specifically asked administrator Mike Gracz to “share this information” at Monday’s meeting. “I just would caution that if the community chooses to air their grievances in public, they’re inviting a counter-action,” Boudreau said.

Downtown parking
The Village Board on Monday rejected the lone bid to install utilities under the Jefferson Street parking lot that’s under construction. Village public works director Jeff Rau explained that the only bid that came in – after the deadline – was more than $140,000 above what the village’s engineering firm on the project had estimated. He said the timeline was a concern with some of the potential bidders he spoke with, and hoped that rebidding the project with a different schedule could help lower those numbers. Rau said he spoke with the contractor on the parking lot project, which is being redone partly for the neighboring Jefferson Crossing apartment building that will be moved into this July, and “they were very good to work with.” he cautioned that rebidding was not a foolproof option, but he said it was the best at the moment. “We could end up with zero bids,” Rau said. “We’ll have to cross that bridge when we get to it.”
Administrator Mike Gracz brought some good news about downtown parking issues. Faith Lutheran Church, 143 Washington St., has offered its parking lot for public use at all hours other than 9-10 a.m. Sundays. “It’s amazing outreach by them and a wonderful offer,” Gracz said. The board is expected to have a full update on downtown parking at its April 16 meeting. The update had been scheduled for April 9, but Village President Steve Staton was unable to be there and asked to be part of the discussion.
PD gets new cameras The Oregon Police Department will soon have new security cameras. The Village Board unanimously approved spending $28,940 for the new cameras from Enterprise Systems Group. OPD chief Brian Uhl said while the bid was not the lowest, it would save money in the long run because it would not require yearly license renewals.

Village of Oregon residents will have a new spot to bring their brush and yard waste this year. Ly c o n h a s o ff e r e d a corner of its property off Cusick Parkway to be used by the village, which public works director Jeff Rau said was a “nice opportunity.” “We had looked at many different places and lands owned by the Village,” Rau said Monday. The idea for the Lycon space was suggested by Trustee Jeff Boudreau at the March 26 Public Works committee meeting, and Rau said he reached out to Lycon officials the next day. “(The owner’s) response was, ‘Absolutely,’” Rau said. The vote Monday allows the village’s legal counsel to draft an agreement with Lycon that outlines the use
of the property, including the timeline, which would cover mostly the spring and summer season, during construction on Perry Parkway. According to a map of the proposed site, there would be a 3,000-square-foot gravel pad for vehicle access and a 5,000-square-foot waste area. The area would have “silt fencing as required” and temporary signage for those using the site.

“We appreciate all the support the Village has provided and hope to continue this strong relationship through our expansion into a new building,” Thysse wrote in the letter. “I am optimistic that our growth and new building will open the door for another great company to move to the Village of Oregon, occupy our current space and enjoy the benefits of this community like we have.” The TIF funds, as proposed by Thysse, would cover the land purchase at $800,000 and up to $300,000 to cover a down payment for a real estate loan, moving expenses, site work to rectify “poor soil conditions” and the solar and geothermal work. The letter states Thysse would cover the debt service payment on the TIF loan with its yearly property tax payment.

taxing jurisdictions under the condition they would not occur “but for” the assistance. It can be used, among other ways, to clear or renew blighted property, to make an area or a municipality competitive with others or to close a gap in financing capability. The letter requests a “minimum 10 percent TIF commitment” toward the total project costs, estimated around $8-10 million, including $800,000 for a land purchase, up to $100,000 for moving and $250,000 to $500,000 for site work costs due to soil. Solar and geothermal expenses will add to that, though the letter does not give an estimate. The requests in the letter include asking the village to purchase the current building at market rate by Aug. 1, which Thysse would then rent back until the time of its move to cover the debt service on the building. Thysse would then assist the village in recruiting a business to purchase the building.

Graphic designer Loren Zemlicka explained to the board that as Thysse has grown – from 13 employees in 2012 to 80 today – it has also expanded to a national customer base, making its new facility a key for attracting that business. “We want to put the best face forward for the facility,” Zemlicka said.

Be proactive to reduce risk of falling, dying
O
ne out of every three senior citizens falls each year. While falls may be common among seniors, research has shown they are preventable and are not a normal part of aging. Seniors in this state need to be aware of the subject, because Wisconsin has the unfortunate distinction of ranking second in the country in seniors who die from fallBrickner ing. Seniors in Wisconsin are five times more likely to die as a result of a fall than are seniors in Alabama, the state with the lowest rate. At least one contributing factor is obvious: winter. Every year, people of all ages fall on icy sidewalks, parking lots and driveways. They slip on wet floors where snow has melted off footwear. Winter weather increases the risk of falling. But many states have severe winters without as many falling-related deaths. There are obviously other factors involved. One is alcohol. Wisconsinites in general drink at a higher rate than the national average, and seniors are like their younger counterparts in that regard. A Capital Times story last August explained Wisconsin had a nearly 50 percent increase in alcohol-related fatal falls among seniors between 2010 and 2016. Even more sobering, it noted the resulting deaths ended more lives since 2008 than drunk driving deaths across all ages. Another factor in Wisconsin’s unusually high number is actually a good thing. Wisconsin seniors enjoy a greater life expectancy than seniors in many other states. Age increases a person’s risk of falling and the risk of dying as a result of the fall. States with poor life expectancies do not have as many seniors of advanced age, so they do not suffer as many fatal falls. Still, nobody wants to live a
How to get help If you are interested in either the Stepping On class or the Comprehensive Medication review, contact Oregon Senior Center staff at 835-5801. We’ll be glad to note the names of seniors interested in either and then to notify people when those opportunities are next available. good, long life only to have it end by falling. A variety of programs has been designed to reduce the risk of Wisconsin seniors falling and dying. One of the most successful is a seven-step class called Stepping On, which is evidence-based (scientifically proven) and touches on a number of subjects that contribute to falls risk. The Oregon Area Senior Center recently offered a Stepping On class. Participants heard from a variety of professionals whose disciplines have an impact on a person’s risk of falling, including a pharmacist, a physical therapist and a vision specialist. They learned what an important role balance plays in preventing falls, along with simple exercises they can do at home to maintain and improve their balance. From what I could overhear, the participants seemed to be enjoying themselves throughout. Several made a point of telling me how valuable they found the classes and how thankful they were they had taken it. Statistically speaking, completing that seven-week course reduced their risk of falling by 35 percent. Another initiative is the United Way-sponsored Comprehensive Medication Review. About 85 percent of seniors take at least one prescription that increases their risk of falling. These can cause sedation, vision changes, confusion or changes in coordination and balance. During the medication review,
seniors meet one-on-one with a pharmacist and learn how they can reduce the side effects of their medications or find alternatives with fewer negative effects. The Oregon Area Senior Center offers this free service twice annually, giving 24 seniors the opportunity to take part. Another way seniors can invest in themselves and reduce their risk of falling is by exercising to improve balance and strength. Lack of exercise leads to weakness and increases the risk of falling. The Harvard Medical School recently did a study to determine the effect of tai chi on older adults. During the study, inactive older people who did tai chi three times each week decreased their risk of falling by 55 percent compared to the control group. That is an amazing reduction in falls risk. An unsafe home also contributes significantly to falls. Some of the most common contributors are throw rugs (throw them out before they throw you down), poor lighting, clutter, extension cords in walkways, lack of handrails on both sides of stairs, inappropriate stepstools and a lack of grab bars. A home safety evaluation can help people reduce the risks posed by their own homes. While most falls do not result in serious injury, one in five causes a head injury, a broken bone or other serious injury. Most hip fractures and traumatic brain injuries are caused by falls. Falling generally leads to the fear of falling again, and as a result, seniors who have fallen become less active in an attempt to avoid another fall. This inactivity leads to increased weakness and a resulting increased risk of falling again. Rather than curtailing activities because of a fear of falling again, seniors who have fallen would do better to talk with their doctors and address some of the causes of the fall and consider strategies for reducing their risk in the future. Rachel Brickner is the director of the Oregon Area Senior Center.

With extraordinary growth on the way that could increase district enrollment by 50 percent by the time this year’s kindergarteners graduate from OHS, the district is planning for a likely fall referendum to build new schools to keep up. This week, district officials are continuing a month-long series of community engagement sessions to talk about their plans, answer questions and listen to people’s concerns. The first meeting was held at Netherwood Knoll Elementary School last week, and they will continue through May 12 throughout the district. District officials, led by consultant Mark Roffers, have determined the current kindergarten through eighthg r a d e fa c i l i t i e s c a n n o t accommodate this increase. It’s estimated that within two years, Rome Corners Intermediate and the district’s three elementary schools will be overcrowded; Oregon Middle School will approach capacity by 2025.

Coworkers in the Service of God “For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building.” – 1 Corinthians 3:9 NIV The creation of the world and the salvation of the souls therein is a work in progress. Every dawn is, in some ways, a vestige of creation, but more than just a vestige, it is indeed a new creation. The world is clearly in the process of becoming what it will be, and we are cocreators with God in determining how things will work out. Just as the physical universe is in flux,so too the moral universe. Good and evil are locked in mortal combat, and we are all called to do our part on the side of God and the angels. It can sometimes be discouraging to see how depraved people can be. Governments, which should serve their people,sometimes seem more bent on subjugating or otherwise taking advantage of them. Wars and rumors of wars there will always be, but we can take heart that most of us cringe when we see people acting cruelly, and the human heart is more moved by pity, compassion and kindness than by cruelty and evil. And while there may be a bit of larceny in every heart, most of us are more desirous to become better human beings and to help our fellow human beings than to fleece them. So take up your cross (or your shield), and help God and your fellow man fight the good fight. – Christopher Simon

STEAM: K-6 students across OSD learn importance of creativity, trial and error, teamwork Continued from page 1 And that’s the way learning should be, Holmes said. “It’s supposed to be fun to learn, and the kids that are coming through right now just have a different brain than we had when we went to school, so ‘sitting and getting’ is really not an option anymore,” she said. “Third- and fourth-graders have Chromebooks all day, so if they have a question they can look it up. “We want them to actually do more thinking and problem-solving and learning how to work together.” To do that, the district’s three elementary schools (grades K-4) and one intermediate (grades 5-6) school have increased their emphasis on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) components that allow Photos submitted even the youngest students in the Netherwood Knoll students work on their “Design Thinking Model” earlier this year in the school’s new innovation lab. district to work together and solve problems.

But the No. 4 and No. 5 spots on the varsity lineup are still up for grabs, and those players will help dictate where the team finishes in both the Badger South Conference and the sectional. “Last year we struggled to find our footing after losing a lot of varsity leadership and experience from the prior year,” coach Sara Mess wrote in a preview questionnaire. “There was

Both golfers advanced to

OAFP: New facility opened last November, increasing hours serve growing community need Continued from page 1 a $550,000 gift from an anonymous donor, which, when coupled with the roughly $200,000 raised by the community and contributed through in-kind donations, turned into a brandnew facility for collecting, storing and distributing food to families in need. The grand opening was in November 2017, and Kirchdoerfer said things are so much better in the new building he “doesn’t know where to start.” With the new accommodations, “when you talk about how much better things are, everything’s better,” Kirchdoerfer said. “Patrons don’t have to wait outside anymore. It’s neat, it’s clean, the parking is better, all of those kinds of things.” The pantry now distributes about 6,500 pounds of food to a little more than 100 families every month, a 25 percent increase over a year ago, Kirchdoerfer said. Extrapolating from the school district’s figures about how many kids receive free and reduced lunch, Kirchdoerfer thinks the opportunity is there for the pantry to feed 200 or 300 families. This growth is managed by the pantry’s all-volunteer staff and board of directors, most of whom “have jobs, families (and) other volunteering that we continue to do,” interim management committee chair Diane Sliter wrote to the Observer.

Food lines the shelves at the food pantry on Nov. 13. In March, the pantry held two distribution days for the first time in its 30-year history. OAFP is adding morning distribution hours for at least the next three distribution days. And when distribution-day coordinators have full-time jobs, they often have to take vacation days to fulfill their duties with the pantry, Sliter wrote. The board and management committees agree on the goal of adding hours, Lavoy said, but need to be mindful of the needs of the patrons and volunteers alike. “Let’s slow down and make sure we get this right and have the right procedures in place,” LaVoy said. “We need to ensure it’s a respectful, good experience for those who need us.”
Consistency key To reach its full capacity, the pantry will have to manage the growth of three things at once: the number of patrons, the amount of food donated and the amount of volunteer hours. The trick is
to make sure one doesn’t outpace another. Consistency is key in serving the at-risk communities that rely on the pantry. Knowing when the pantry will be open helps families that might be struggling with homelessness and instability to plan ahead, Kirchdoerfer said. “We want to get to a consistent date so that people know automatically what the best time is for the patrons to be there,” Kirchdoerfer said. LaVoy said this emphasis on consistency was a major factor in deciding the pantry “had to be open” once the Observer printed the wrong date: OAFP didn’t want to run the risk of someone who counts on the facility showing up on the wrong day and having to go hungry. Once that decision was made, “we put a call out and immediately — it almost
seems like we had too many volunteers,” LaVoy said. “What we’ve found is that the volunteers in the Oregon community are incredible.” In some ways, Kirchdoerfer says, the extra day was beneficial for the volunteers, as well. “With having two distributions, it simplified the process a lot,” Kirchdoerfer said. “There was less stress all around for both patrons and volunteers.” Still, staffing a regular extra distribution day is different from responding to a one-off emergency. “We don’t want to have a lot of volunteers to show up and no patrons,” Kirchdoerfer said. LaVoy said OAFP is working to avoid such a situation by concentrating on marketing the pantry to attract more people to its services.
A better experience Though he made clear that he was voicing his personal opinion and not necessarily that of the board of directors, Kirchdoerfer said his eventual goal for the pantry is to be consistently open once a week. “I don’t know if that’s achievable with the volunteers’ schedule and the number of patrons (we have now),” Kirchdoerfer said. “With 100 patrons, I don’t know if that’s necessary, but (it might be) with 200.” That would allow OAFP to offer more produce and a better experience for patrons,
Kirchdoerfer explained. LaVoy, for her part, said the board has more modest goals: “For the end of the year, if we can successfully be open twice a month, we can re-evaluate community need and align our services for that.” “We want to ensure that we have the right infrastructure in place,” LaVoy added. “Do we have it marketed to the right people? Do we have enough food? Enough volunteers?” OAFP has decided to remain open one day per month for the next three distribution days, but is adding two additional morning hours. The pantry will be open from 9-11 a.m. and 3-7 p.m. on its next distribution day, which is Thursday, April 26. The transition to the new building and the process of adding more distribution hours has underscored for LaVoy, Kirchdoerfer and Sliter how generous the Oregon community is. “It’s giving and caring and we are looking at innovative ways we can help,” LaVoy said. “(The new building is) truly appreciated. It’s made a real difference in people’s lives — both the volunteers and the patrons,” Kirchdoerfer said. “We have the opportunity to create a lot of good things in the future and we’ll work for that in a careful and controlled way.” Contact Alexander Cramer at alexander.cramer@ wcinet.com.
How to help Tom Kirchdoerfer, president of the Oregon Area Food Pantry’s board of directors, said the pantry can use food donations, cash donations and volunteer hours, and currently, volunteer hours are the most useful. To volunteer, visit obfp. org or email oregonfoodpantry@hotmail.com. Those interested in helping the pantry can also purchase Bill’s bags at Bill’s Food Center, 787 N. Main St., which can be filled to help stock the pantry’s shelves. Also at Bill’s Food Center, the State Bank of Cross Plains is hosting a food drive, with collection dates ongoing until April 20. The pantry hosts in-person donation days every month and asks people to bring whatever they can, including books, toiletries, cash and food. The next opportunity is from 1011 a.m., Saturday, April 14, at the pantry.
Brooklyn Village-wide
Friday - Saturday May 18th-19th (Distribution) Day in the life ALEXANDER CRAMER Unified Newspaper Group
Each distribution day at the Oregon Area Food Pantry has one or two volunteers who take on the task of organizing it. This month, it’s Diane Sliter’s turn. Sliter, who also is the interim management committee chair for the OAFP, described to the Observer what it’s like to organize the distribution of 6,500 pounds of food in a four-hour period. “The weeks leading up to pantry day are very busy for a coordinator. One receives a grocery list of items that are available … in a limited quality (from The Emergency Food Assistance Program, a federal emergency nutrition aid program) and places an order. This is then delivered the second Thursday of the month. (We) need to be at the pantry to accept the order, weigh it and put it away. This can be anywhere from 500-800 pounds of food. In addition the Community Action Coalition is another resource where we are able to go and pick up ‘free’ food. Again, it is limited inventory and limited quantities. That means driving out by the airport and loading up and
bringing it back to pantry — weigh(ing it) and put(ting it) away. Then you need to inventory the stocking shelves and shelves in the pantry to see if anything additional needs to be ordered. Also we evaluate with any drives or donations coming in. Once we have that in place we now start to fill in the slots for volunteers on pantry day. Pantry comes around and the final meat order is received and put in the freezer ready for distribution. With everything in order and all the volunteers in their place, pantry day for the coordinator should run very smoothly. When done a report needs to be completed with the results of (the number) of families, (the number) of guests, how much food left the pantry with a couple other items.” This is done by a group of volunteers who have outside responsibilities, some of whom routinely use vacation days to come to the pantry for distribution days. “We set our hours, we get our volunteers, we oversee all donations and food drives, we make sure the pantry is cleaned and sidewalk shoveled,” Sliter wrote. “I refer to this wonderful group of individuals as the ‘worker bees.’”
