Oregon artist evokes heritage in Bucky on Parade

STEAM curriculum has an environmental focus at OMS

ALEXANDER CRAMER Unified Newspaper Group

Giant, gleaming white Buckys were lined up like terracotta warriors awaiting the journey to their new home last January.

These were no ordinary mascots: instead of the traditional red and white garb of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, they were painted with a white primer because they would be given to local artists to be transformed into public art as part of the inaugural Bucky on Parade celebration.

Bucky on Parade is a public art exhibit in which 64 artists used 85 Buckys as a canvas for Wisconsin themes like sunset at the terrace and green energy.

In September, when the statues come down, thirty of them will be auctioned off for charity.

Artist Jennifer Schwarzkopf said she needed her

Students at Oregon Middle School are doing more than just learning about the environment – they are learning about their place in it and how important they are.

They’re also getting their hands dirty and having fun.

As part of the school’s environmentally conscious STEAM curriculum (science, technology, engineering, art and math), students are getting a “bigger picture” look at what it means to be not just consumers, but stewards of a sustainable environment, OMS health teacher Darren Hartberg told the Observer.

“They’re part of the process, which is important,” he said. “We help make our students aware of why they’re here on the planet and how they can help the planet thrive. Instead of just having an ecological footprint on the planet, try to be stewards of the environment and work toward sustainability of what our world provides.”

OMS, which has been nominated this year for a national environmental education award, has a variety of ways for students to not just learn about the natural world around them, but get outside and experience it. Students have been busy this year growing plants, shrubs and trees for the school forest and butterfly garden, and are getting ready to harvest lettuce for the school’s salad bar.

And whether it’s science, health class or even art, it’s all connected – the larger lesson Hartberg is hoping students pick up on.

“We all work on individual pieces, but they all come together in this interdisciplinary effort to teach students about who they are and why they’re here on the planet,” he said.

husband, Nathan, and his best friend to help her lug the 6 foot tall, 160 pound badger statue into the truck they had rented to get it into the studio in her home in Oregon.

“I had him in the shop for three months, to the day,” Schwarzkopf told the Observer on Sunday, May 6. “I kind of teared up when he left, I spent so many hours with him.

Sending your art into the world is very personal.”

Growing for the future As the school year winds down, the students will take hundreds of the plants, shrubs and trees they’ve been growing all year out around the community to plant in area parks in the next few weeks, as well as around the school. OMS has an oak forest that staff and students have been rehabilitating for the past several years, removing invasive species like buckthorn and garlic mustard and replacing them with native species.

One annual event is the Lerner Park event, scheduled for May 14, as eighth-graders will descend on the park to help plant some of the 2,000-some prairie plants they’ve been tending for the past months. Hartberg credited a “great collaboration” with community members, including the Rotary Club, for the ongoing project.

“We’re working with a number of folks, including the city, to try to held rebuild and reboot some of the natural locations within our community,” he said.

successfully.

Bucky on Parade is raising money for two main causes: Garding against Cancer and the Madison Area Sports Commission. Thirty of the 85 total Buckys will be auctioned off at the end of the project, which lasts until September.

While there isn’t a direct parallel, Cows on Parade raised $363,500 at their auction in 2006, which was nearly $8,300 per cow, according to a news release.

In addition to raising money, Gard said that one of the primary goals of the project is for people to experience parts of Madison that might not otherwise travel to.

“They’ll discover parks, small businesses, and interesting communities and neighborhoods that they’ll return to time and time again well after Bucky on Parade wraps up,” Gard said.

But the program itself has been years in the making, Greater Madison Visitors and Convention Bureau public relations and marketing director Robert Gard told the Observer in an email.

Gard said the program was heavily influenced by both the Cows on Parade project in Madison in 2006 and Herky on Parade in Iowa City.

Herky is the University of Iowa mascot and Gard said they “consulted extensively with the Herky team” about how to do the project Bucky de los Muertos emerges from his trash-bag chrysalis at an unveiling ceremony at the park next to Monty’s Blue Plate Diner on Madison’s east side.

Jennifer Schwarzkopf stands next to her unveiled Bucky de los Muertos at the park that will be his home throughout the summer.

artist’s Hispanic heritage.

Her mother is from Chile and she would travel from Mississippi where she grew up to spend summers there as a girl.

Dia de los Muertos is celebrated more famously in Mexico, but Schwarzkopf has vivid memories of honoring her relatives when she would return to Latin America.

“Every time I’d visit we’d go to the mausoleum and visit my mom’s sister and my grandparents,” Schwarzkopf said. “Someone brings you water and soap and you spend the day cleaning the monuments.”

She said it “sounds weird” but she remembers it fondly as a way to connect with and honor her family.

It’s important for people to connect with their heritage, Schwarzkopf said, something that hit home for her when she was attending Notre Dame.

“I didn’t know I was a minority until I went to college,” Schwarzkopf said.

“When I was in Chile, I was an American, la gringa, and when I was here I was Hispanic.”

She made the statue for kids who might feel like she did when she found herself visibly different than the crowd. “(It’s for) kids who may not be Norwegian or German,” Schwarzkopf said.

“It’s something that might be connected to their heritage, their cultures.”

an interactive map at the event’s website, buckyonparade.com.

For Schwarzkopf, Bucky on Parade has been a chance to reconnect with her artistic side. She said she’s been an artist since she was a kid painting pastels on rainy days in the carport in Mississippi, but abandoned art for about a decade after moving to Madison in 2001.

Now, she and her husband are downsizing their home and she is scaling back work with her marketing communications firm to concentrate on art, a decision she said has left her feeling “so much lighter and happier.”

In her decade without art, Schwarzkopf worked in the “office world” and got an MBA, doing everything she was “supposed to do” but began feeling like it wasn’t for her.

The Bucky on Parade event was the beginning of a resurgence in her art, with Schwarzkopf winning a design award shortly after hearing she was selected to paint a Bucky. Though it’s a bit daunting, Schwarzkopf said she’s realized she has to respect her instincts drawing her to make more art.

“No matter what, you always have that pull to what you’re passionate about,” Schwarzkopf said.

“I don’t care where you go to school, if you want to be a poet, be the best poet you can be. If you fight that, you end up fighting against your calling for your whole life.”

Village prepares for Waterfall Motel demolition anticipation of a three-story, 66-room hotel being built at 1120 Park St. Officials have not identified how the former motel parcel will be redeveloped, village administrator Mike Gracz said.

After the hotel is built, Gracz said, the village would reconstruct the intersection of Park and Janesville streets and also completely rebuild Park Street. Preliminary estimated costs for those projects are $475,000 and $1.4 million, respectively.

Public works director Jeff Rau told the board the village is required to have an asbestos inspection prior to demolition to identify materials that must be removed before the building is used by the fire department for a “practice burn.”

The board approved a contract with Advanced Health and Safety LLC for the inspection at a cost not to exceed $2,950.

Farmers market returns If You Go

Unified Newspaper Group

Oregon’s Farmers Market returned last week and will run every Tuesday through Oct. 30. The market is open from 2-6 p.m. at Dorn Hardware, 131 W. Richards Road.

Market manager David Woodcock told the Observer there are quite a few vendors returning and a few new ones, as well.

The market will continue to offer items ranging from produce to soap, flowers to Amish yeast bread, Woodcock said.

Decatur Dairy from Brodhead will offer “50 varieties of block cheese along with 15 varieties of squeaky-fresh cheese curds fresh from the factory that day,” Woodcock said.

What: Oregon Farmers Market When: 2-6 p.m. Tuesdays, May 1 through Oct. 30 Where: Dorn Hardware, W. 131 Richards Road Info: David Woodcock, 873-9943

Rex Porter will carry on a family tradition selling local honey and products like comb honey and honey pollen, Woodcock said. Porter’s fatherin-law used to be a vendor at the market years ago.

The market will once again accept the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) special supplemental nutrition program and the Senior Farmers’

Get Connected Find updates and links right away.

Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP).

Woodcock said the programs aren’t particularly onerous for vendors.

They just have to take a class to become certified to receive a vendor number.

Farmers markets are a great way to put a face to your food, Woodcock said, adding that every vendor has a story and it beats “having to read the chemistry lesson of ingredients” on items at the grocery store.

“The vegetables and fruit can’t tell the farmer what will be ripe that day,” Woodcock said. “It’s always exciting to come down to the farmers market and see what the bounty of Wisconsin is providing on that day.”

For more information, call Woodcock at 873-9943.

Town of Dunn

Grants will bring high-speed internet BILL LIVICK Unified Newspaper Group

The Town of Dunn is getting improved internet service through grants to private companies provided by the Wisconsin Public Service Commission, and highspeed internet could potentially reach 1,600 homes here by the end of the year.

The PSC awarded grants to Charter Communications and Hoyos Consulting, Dunn associate planner and deputy clerk Ben Kollenbroich wrote in an email last month. Charter was awarded its grant last year, and Hoyos informed Dunn officials last month that it had received a grant earlier this year.

Officials say new highspeed internet will help Dunn businesses, students and residents seeking online health care information.

The town has long sought improved internet service and established a telecommunications committee in 2010 to research how to bring high-speed internet to the community.

Businesses and residents have complained for years that internet service in parts of Dunn is slow, unreliable and prohibitively expensive.

Charter’s proposal is to use $106,395 in matching grant money help pay for the costs of providing broadband internet via fiber to around 100 homes near the north end of Hawkinson Road, Kollenbroich wrote.

Residents in the area may soon see trucks installing

the line along and under the road, with service anticipated to be available the fall.

Hoyos received $31,146 in grant funding to provide internet via fixed wireless/ LTE by transmitting a signal from the McFarland water tower and from a proposed pole tower at the town’s highway garage.

The grant would cover the initial 50 subscribers to the service, Kollenbroich wrote, and the potential range of the service could reach around 1,500 homes.

Service is expected to be available before the end of the year.

The town assisted in writing grant applications for both companies, Kollenbroich said. It secured letters of support from residents, businesses and elected representatives and agreed to waive the fee for applying

Fasting “When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show others they are fasting….

But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, so that it will not be obvious to others that you are fasting.” – Matthew 6:16-18 NIV Fasting, which is abstaining from food, is a spiritual discipline which can profitably be done by almost everyone, though the extent to which one abstains should be carefully considered so that it matches the person’s ability to do so in a healthy way. Fasting should never damage one’s health. Fortunately, there is now considerable evidence that occasional fasting can actually improve one’s health. The purpose of fasting is not specifically to improve one’s physical health or to lose weight, but to improve one’s spiritual health. By fasting, one often humbles the heart and tempers loquacity. Fasting allows one to meditate and pray with a clear and sober mind and gives us the opportunity to test our resolve and offer our efforts to God and our fellow man. One can fast by simply giving up solid foods, drinking only water, juice and perhaps tea for a whole day. A good way to fast for those who may be new to the practice is to eat one moderate meal around mid-day, skipping breakfast and supper, and then eating again around midday the following day. One can abstain from eating meat, or sweets, as a discipline that puts one on the way to practicing a fast where one completely abstains from food. One can live for a long time on very limited amounts of food, but you should never abstain from water. And remember, fasting is a spiritual discipline, and as such it should improve our souls.

STEAM: Showing students their “art in the process” for the environment Continued from page 1 recent additions from the 2014 capital projects referendums, including a new STEAM wing with two large technology classrooms, three science labs and a new greenhouse.

There, students now grow a wider variety of plants, shrubs and trees all yearround for restoration of the woods west of the school, and as well the annual Lerner Park prairie planting.

“It provides us extra space to be able to have them see – literally from seed to back to compost – the cycle of life,” Hartberg said, noting that the greenhouse has been a “great tool” for science, tech ed, health and other classes to help students see “they are part of the process.”

“From planting a seed to caring for the seed, watering, weeding, harvesting and back to composting,” he said.

This year at the greenhouse, seventh-grade science teacher David Spaeth’s students worked on a variety of plant experiments, determining how soil density, type, light intensity and amount of fertilizer influence plant growth. Earlier this year, eighth-grade science teacher Nathan Mahr’s students worked on an integrated color-climate change unit with art students, “Students applied what they learned about light and color and climate change

The Green Team “Green Teams” have been established in schools around the district, and nowhere are they busier than Oregon Middle School, where several dozen seventh- and eighth-graders take an active role setting priorities and taking action to help their environment.

This week, they were busy harvesting lettuce and spinach for the school’s salad bar.

“They are making decisions to help keep the sustainability of our environment healthy and safe,” said health teacher Darren Hartberg. “They are helping with growing (produce), weeding, helping to make decisions with the ecological environment, what choices we should make for food composting, trash and recycling and decisions to help sustain our environment inside and outside the building.”

The Green Team has also grown native plants for a new butterfly garden in Oregon Town Park which will be planted in the next few weeks, as well as new “gravel gardens” around the school that require less water and maintenance. They also constructed eight bluebird houses which will be installed on school grounds.

Mr. Beans wasn’t doing well. He’d been sick for a while and now he was having trouble getting up.

Mary Hougan wanted to do everything she could to help her old friend so she enrolled in an equine masseuse program to learn techniques that could alleviate his symptoms and promote blood flow to his balky rear legs.

“Mr. Beans, he’s my old guy,” Hougan said in an interview. “He’s the one that kind of inspired me to pursue learning horse massage for his benefit.”

Hougan, an admitted lifelong “animal nut,” is turning this passion into a business. She went through a weeklong, ten-hour-a-day program and earned a certification in equine sports massage therapy in March. She’s since started Equistroke, LLC and has done “quite a few” messages since.

She is also a part-time veterinary technician and the office manager at Chalet Veterinary Clinic, 1621 E. Main St. in Stoughton, and balancing the two businesses allows her to be around animals “all the time.”

Hougan grew up on a farm in Stoughton and “was always rescuing kittens and wildlife.” Her mom thought she might get hurt on a horse, so she didn’t get first one until she was 23. Now she lives on a farm

She started rescuing horses from “kill pens” in the south in 2015, and adopted one in each of 2015, 2016 and 2017. Though slaughtering horses is illegal in the U.S., Hougan said the “kill buyers” get around it by

shipping the animals to Mexico or Canada where they are processed for, among other things, their meat, which is a delicacy in Europe.

The horses being sent to slaughter are often thoroughbreds or quarter horses who arrive at the kill pens “by the truckload” if they’re unsuccessful

Municipalities have similar leash laws, use differing language Learning the ropes SCOTT GIRARD Unified Newspaper Group

Many dog owners feel a bond with their dog that they are confident will keep their dog under control – leashed or not.

But state law and local ordinances try to avoid the risk of potential damages from an unrestrained dog, with localities building on the state’s law to create their own specific rules, along with penalties for violations, that are generally similar.

Except while hunting, state law is that “a dog is considered to be running at large if it is off the premises of its owner and not

under the control of the owner or some other person.”

While many area municipalities have specific areas for dogs, like the Village of Oregon’s dog park or the county dog parks in Verona, other parks are much more restricted. The Village of Oregon and cities of Fitchburg, Stoughton and Verona consider unleashed dogs in city parks to be a violation of ordinances.

Fines in these municipalities for first offenses can range from zero to as much as $500, with subsequent offenses usually bringing an increased minimum and maximum fine.

Some have exceptions for certain activities. In Ve r o n a , f o r e x a m p l e ,

large if it is on a leash and under control of a person physically able to control it or is trained and in the immediate company of a Fitchburg person to which it immedi$0-50 first offense; $0-500 for second and subse- ately responds and obeys if quent offense such person is over the age of twelve (12) years,” the Verona ordinance states.

Oregon Others do not make such $10-500 first offense; $25-500 subsequent offenses exceptions, as in Fitchburg, where it is a violation to Stoughton have an animal in any city park or public recreation$25-100 first offense; $50-200 subsequent offenses al areas, “unrestrained by rope, cord, leash, chain, Verona harness, or bridle.”

The only exceptions to $25-100 first offense; $100-400 subsequent offenses requiring a dog to be on a leash in Oregon is when an animal is in an automobile, restrictions, according to playing a game of fetch on private property or in a in a field or a dog walk- the city’s ordinances.

Village park that has a sign “A dog or cat shall not be ing alongside its owner would not be subject to the considered to be running at stating animals are allowed

Local penalties

to be off-leash.

Stoughton goes as far as including an ordinance banning dogs on school d i s t r i c t p r o p e r t y, s p e cifically, unless for an approved Stoughton Area School District activity or event.

When an animal is found to be at large, some local ordinances, like in Stoughton, allow “any person” to “seize, impound or restrain any dog or cat which he finds running at large.”

Others, like Verona, only give the power to seize and impound an animal-atlarge to an animal control or law enforcement officer.

Massage: Routine massage betters performance, prevents injuries, equine masseuse says at the track, Hougan said.

“The kill pens tend to feed off of people’s heartstrings,” Hougan said. “The more adoptable horses they put on their (web) pages and they put up a bail price (to save them).”

Worth the ‘strain’ As Hougan’s desire to help Mr. Beans has turned into a second career, Hougan said she didn’t realize how “physical” the work would be.

“Most I’ve done in a day is three (massages). That was an exhausting day,” Hougan said. “Just the strain on the hands, arms and shoulders.

“When I’m done, I could use a massage myself.”

A massage takes an hour, Hougan explained, 30 minutes for one side and 30 minutes for the other.

She works from the front toward the back and the top down, starting with the neck. Sometimes she uses a tool called equistix on “trigger points.”

“Horses are athletes whether you use them for recreational riding or just keep them,” Hougan said.

“A routine massage program will not only better the performance of the horse but also prevent injuries.”

A massage costs $60,

and is one of a few services Hougan offers through EquiStroke, including limb stretching and grooming.

She has worked on everything from mini-horses to thoroughbreds – even a donkey once. Hougan, who stands 5 feet 3 inches tall, said she once had to stand on a hay bale to reach the top of a huge draft horse she was working on.

At first, some horses are a little unsure about all the hands-on attention they’re getting, Hougan said.

“As you progress, they really start to relax, they fall into the zone as you call it. Their eyes start to soften, they put their heads down (and) they look like they’re falling asleep,” Hougan said.

When she spends a lot of time on a particularly tough spot, she said the horse will express relief by letting out a big yawn.

“Those are the rewarding moments,” Hougan said.

“When they’re out and about in the pasture, they way they show affection is by grooming each other and nibbling on each other.

When they start doing that to you, that’s the ultimate reward.”

Hougan works on her client Vinny’s foreleg. She says the most massages she’s ever done in a day is three, and afterward felt like she could use a massage herself.

Reverend Kathleen Cook Owens blesses a photo of Christy Archer’s cat, Sally, at First Presbyterian Church in Oregon on Earth Day, April 22. The blessing adcknoledges the love and joy that animals bring to our lives and asks for the continued health of the whole family, human and animal alike.

Nolan McDermid, 8, does his best to hold on to the aptly named Wiggles the guinea pig.

Celebrating all creation: Blessing of the Animals an 800-year-long tradition ALEXANDER CRAMER Unified Newspaper Group

Wiggles the guinea pig and his pal Hopscotch seemed to be enjoying their time outside, munching contentedly on a piece of lettuce and soaking up the sun.

They had every reason to be content on this perfect late-April day: They had just been blessed by the Rev. Kathleen Cook Owens as part of a special Earth Day Blessing of the Animals event at First Presbyterian Church in Oregon.

Wiggles and Hopscotch were joined on the lawn outside the church by all sorts of animals, as well as by the humans who had come to celebrate and acknowledge their relationship with their pets. There were horses and dogs, and one woman brought a picture of her cat, Sally.

Owens said the event is a way to celebrate the special relationship humans have with their animals.

“So often, the pets that we have are such an important part of our lives,” Owens told the Observer. “To acknowledge that

and build it into worship is a good way to celebrate that.”

Owens pointed out that humans often have deep relationships with their pets, but they’re mostly private.

One of her favorite aspects of Blessing of the Animals is bringing these relationships out into the open and sharing them with neighbors.

It’s an event where people “bring the whole family, pets included. We share our loved ones that don’t come with us when we go to church,” Owens said. “People really liked it and to be able to introduce their pets to one another.”

On the church lawn, on one of the first great spring days, there were pockets of humans chatting in small groups as their dogs got to know one another, and introductions made when people came by to say hello to a horse. People offered snacks they had brought and talked about funny things their pet had done.

Fr. Bill Stout, Order of Friars Minor, a friar of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Province based in Franklin, told the Observer the blessings are a

Ruff

Has Fido Been A Little On Your Flooring?

“wonderful” way to bring people together.

“They know that (pets) expand and fill their life in a special way,” Stout said.

“Going to the blessing brings them into communion with similar people. It highlights the gift of animals and our responsibility to treat them as family.”

Centuries-long tradition Owens said she decided to have a Blessing of the Animals to “highlight an aspect of creation or care for creation that we don’t normally do.”

“God’s love and creative power is far beyond the human realm, and animals are a big part of that,” Owens said.

Blessing animals has its roots in the Old Testament. Before He created man, God created all the other living creatures and blessed them with the same words he would use to bless mankind: “Be fruitful and increase in number,” according to the New International Version of the Bible.

Owens bestowed a slightly different blessing upon Wiggles and Hopscotch (perhaps thankfully for the McDermids, their human family.)

Her blessing instead thanks God for the “joy and love” an animal brings into the world and asks for continued blessings on both the animal and its human household.

Blessing of the Animals most often takes place in autumn around St. Francis’ feast day Oct. 4, though Owens decided to

celebrate with her congregation in April because Earth Day fell on a Sunday.

The modern idea of blessing animals started with St. Francis in the 13th century and has been kept alive by all manner of Franciscans in the intervening 800 years, said Stout said. “(Francis) had a spirit of welcoming, affection, reverence and respect for animals and all created things,” Stout said.

“He had a deep sense of the inner value of all things created by God and treated them with great reverence and as sacred and as a friend.”

The lessons offered by St. Francis’ example are worth remembering these days, Stout said. Living in a bubble can close us off from outside experiences, Stout said, and communicating with animals reminds us to cultivate an openness to receive them. “(Francis’ example) is a spirit of wonder that sees encounter with creation as an opportunity, something we can look forward to and fascinate us,” Stout said.

“We’re at our best when we notice the otherness and appreciate it.”

Be cautious, observant when bringing new friends home Many people are excited by the prospect of introducing a new pet into their homes. In the midst of such excitement, it can be easy to overlook the potential feelings existing pets may have about sharing their homes with new animals.

Pets don’t get to know one another with a handshake and a “hello.”

In addition, pet owners cannot force companion animals to like one another. What they can do is make the introduction process as positive as possible.

According to Healthy Paws Pet Insurance, 42 percent of American

households are multiple-pet families, so peaceful cohabitation is possible. Whether the introduction involves animals of the same species or a hopeful friendship between cat and dog, follow these tips to increase the chances for a successful first meeting.

• Employ sense of smell. Some dogs and cats will “posture” if they make eye contact with a new animal, according to PetMD. Submissive or dominant responses can cause stress to the animals and may create a negative first meeting. Sometimes it’s best if pets meet through scent

instead of sight. Separate the pets in different rooms or cages, allowing them to grow accustomed to the smell of the other animal before actually meeting it. Exchange blankets with each pets’ scent between the cages.

• Contain and release. Let the new pet have roam of the house for a little while before containing it to a room or cage. This allows the animal to start leaving its scent around the house. Follow the same technique with the other pet. Eventually the animals will grow a deeper bond through scent articles and

grow accustomed to the sounds and smells of each other.

• Introduce dogs or cats on neutral territory. Existing pets may feel the need to defend their territory or protect their owners if they meet a new animal inside of the house. When the time comes for a face-to-face meeting, introduce the two animals outside of the home in a neutral area, such as in a neighbor’s yard or in a park, offers The Humane Society of America. Reward positive behavior during this initial encounter with treats.

• Have new toys and items

available. Dogs and cats can both be territorial. Even if they accept the new animal, they may not want to share their toys, food bowls or other baubles. Make sure there are items for both of the pets so there will be no bickering or actual fights.

The introduction process is not something pet owners should rush.

Such a process can take a few days, weeks or even longer. Pet owners who remain patient and encouraging may find that their pets ultimately learn to live together peacefully.

Buddha’s original family lost their home and could not keep him so they went to a Humane Society. The staff declared him an “aggressive” puppy and were going to euthanize him. The family then placed him with a friend who crated Buddha 20 hours a day, inducing separation anxiety. My wife and I adopted Buddha, resolved his anxiety, trained him, and today he is a registered therapy dog and a helper in my dog training business. Bud-

Owner’s name: Kerry Vogel Residence: Oregon Pet name: Smokey Pet’s age: 9 What kind of pet? Domestic Longhair How long have you had your pet? 9 years What makes your pet special? Smokey had a rough start in life until she found her forever home with me.

I originally found her on a friend’s farm. She had been abandoned by her mom and was all alone. She was severely underweight and so sick that her eyes were crusted shut. I immediately took her to the humane society where she stayed while she was recovering and I adopted her shortly after she was declared healthy. The once unloved and underweight kitten is now a pleasantly plump and spoiled rotten cat.

Funny or cute story? One day I was searching for Smokey in the house and I absolutely could not find her.

I checked every room and in every closet. I was starting to get worried. Then I walked into the bedroom and noticed one of my dresser drawers was open. I don’t usually leave them open so at first I was confused. I went to push it shut and it got stuck. I thought maybe some socks got stuck behind it and were preventing it from closing. So I took the whole drawer out and to my surprise I found Smokey inside my dresser all the way behind the drawer. From that day on that dresser has been her favorite hiding spot.

Tips to banish pet odors

Photo submitted

Frequent cleaning and good ventilation are key to keeping your house odor-free. dogs may have their share of accidents. Cats may avoid litter boxes if they are not cleaned frequently and then soil around the house. Be sure to clean up pet waste messes promptly. Baking soda and vinegar solutions are all-natural ways to clean up and can help remove urine odors more readily. Also, look for safe deodorizing cleaning products that can be used on carpeting, flooring and upholstery.

• Purchase an air purifier. Air purifiers can help remove odors and allergens from the air. They’re relatively inexpensive and can be placed in rooms that pets frequent.

• Wash pet blankets and beds.

L a u n d e r p e t b e d s , c l o t h t oy s ,

blankets, and any other items that pets lounge on. Sweat, saliva and dander can cause these fabrics to become stinky, and, in turn, make the house smell worse.

• Keep pets clean. Most pets are very good at self-grooming, but can benefit from a spa treatment once in awhile. Dogs that spend ample time outdoors or frequently get wet and dirty may need routine baths. Ask a professional groomer what he or she recommends to address potent pet odors.

Neutralizing pet odors takes effort, but it can make for a more pleasant-smelling home environment.

visits is often determined by the veterinarian, breed and age of the animal, and the preferences of the pet owners.

The vets at The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine say that kittens or puppies may need to come in once a month for preventative shots until they reach 16 weeks of age. New pet parents also may need more guidance on training and housebreaking and can benefit from more frequent interactions with a vet early on.

After pets receive all of their initial immunizations, vets typically see healthy pets annually for well visits. If the pet has a specific condition, he or she may require more frequent visits.

According to the pets division of WebMD, senior dogs, or those around age 10, should get twice-yearly checkups, as advised by most vets. Changes to hormones and major systems of the body may occur rapidly in aging pets, and more frequent visits can help discover illnesses, such as canine diabetes.

Vets also can be an educated sounding board for facing an elder pet’s end-oflife issues.

Veterinarians play an essential role in maintaining the health, happiness and comfort of pets. A great relationship is established early on.

Routine well visits are an important part of maintaining overall health for adults and children. The same can be said for ensuring family pets are thriving, as well.

Veterinarians should be consulted for more than just illnesses. Their input is a key component of proper pet care. Having a solid relationship with the vet is in the best interests of the pet and its owner.

Open communication and familiarity with companion animals helps to avoid health issues before they appear, according to Dr. Krista Magnifico, DVM, and founder of Pawbly.com.

Wellness exams facilitate discussion when the animal is not under duress and the general health of the pet can be properly assessed.

According to the pet resource iHeartDogs.com, common components of well visits include the vet asking questions about exercise frequency, appetite, behavior, and any breed-specific issues.

A vet will examine the pet, check gait and movement, as well as look at the eyes, ears and mouth.

Routine vaccinations also are typically discussed and administered.

Veterinary Practice News advises taking a new pet to the vet a few days after he or she comes home, even if the pet’s medical history has been documented extensively. This establishes a clinical file and a relationship between pet and vet and vet and pet owner.

Dogs, cats, birds, and lizards have evolved from wild animals and outdoor companions to become beloved, largely domesticated members of the family. The number of pets in homes across the country continues to grow.

According to Statista, as of March 2017, 94.2 million cats and 89.7 million dogs were estimated to live in the United States as pets. Canada’s Pet Wellness report estimates that there are approximately 7.9 million cats and 5.9 million dogs in Canada.

Over time, pet owners grow accustomed to their pets’ antics, messes and even their odors. Dealing with smells is par for the course for pet owners, and many become desensitized to certain common smells. But when company is on the way or people are thinking about selling their homes, pet odors must be addressed.

Even though it will take effort, homeowners can freshen their homes and eliminate unpleasant pet-related smells.

• Find ways to ventilate. Odors can build up inside closed environments and prove overpowering.

Opening windows when applicable, using exhaust fans and encouraging cross-breezes can air certain odors from the home.

• Clean frequently. Cats and dogs can leave behind fur, dander, food messes, and more. Eliminating the debris that pets create can reduce odors. Sweeping, vacuuming and mopping floors can help as well.

Don’t forget to vacuum draperies and furniture, and consider purchasing cleaning appliances specifically designed for homes with pets.

• Keep on top of accidents and litter boxes. Puppies and even adult

First baseman Megan Bloyer (18) keeps her foot on the bag for the first out in the bottom of the second inning. Oregon beat Edgewood 13-3 in five innings. It was the second of two games Monday as the Panthers had beaten Janesville Craig earlier, 10-2.

The Oregon softball team started out the season strong, going 5-0 out of the gate, before getting into some problems with errors. After winning three of four over the past week, they’re 11-4 overall, 5-3 in the Badger South.

“We had a lot of errors, but I honestly think as a team, we started to separate,” second baseman Meghan Detra said Monday after the Panthers defeated Edgewood. “That was only for a couple of games, and I think we got back together and worked through it.”

The Panthers sure hope so, as they have seven Badger South games coming up over the next week – against Milton, Watertown (twice), Stoughton (twice), Fort Atkinson and Monroe.

Coach Sydnee Wyss was confident they’ll be ready.

“This team is never out of any

Panthers tie MG as conference race heats up Oregon take runner-up in final mini-meet ANTHONY IOZZO Assistant sports editor

Oregon girls soccer tied Monona Grove 1-1 Friday, and the Panthers are now 3-0-2 in the Badger South Conference.

With games against Madison Edgewood and Milton still on the schedule, Oregon can still clinch at least a share of the conference title if they win out.

But a loss or tie to Madison Edgewood (5-0-0) or Milton (3-1-0) could put the Panthers’ conference title streak in jeopardy. Oregon has won or shared the past six titles.

The Panthers fell behind by a goal to the Silver Eagles in the 75th minute after a goal by senior Jordyn Metcalf, but sophomore Brooklyn Kane scored the equalizer in the 80th minute with an assist to sophomore Hanna Rohrer.

Baseball

Offense clicks but defense, pitching still look to improve ANTHONY IOZZO Assistant sports editor

The Oregon baseball offense has been clicking in 2018, but that hasn’t translated into consistency yet.

The Panthers have scored 105 runs in 13 games this season, an average of 8.08 runs per game. But Oregon (7-6 overall, 6-4 Badger South) has also allowed 59 runs in its six losses, and coach Jake Soule said it has been one bad inning or inconsistencies at the beginning of the game that have kept the Panthers from winning more.

“I look forward to a better second half of the season,” Soule said. “I think we are going in that direction. We just have to clean up our pitching and our defense …

It comes down to us avoiding big innings and throwing strikes.

“If we do that, I think we can be compete with anybody, including (conference leader) Watertown.”

The pitching and defensive troubles in the first half can also be attributed to the weather at the start of April.

Due to postponements, Oregon played 10 games in 14 days. That has led to some tired arms on the staff and a lack of situational practice for the defense.

Soule said the practices have been different to help keep players healthy, and it affects the game because Oregon hasn’t looked at defensive alignments as often as they would like.

“It was the worst and best thing that happened to this group because they had to learn really fast,” Soule said.

“When you are learning really fast, obviously we took some bumps in the road, but also they were thrown into it, and this is what varsity baseball is all about.”

Oregon 13, Monroe 3 The Panthers’ offense continued to shine Friday in a 13-3 win against Monroe.

Oregon scored seven runs in the third and added two runs in each of the next three innings to win in the bottom of the sixth.

Junior Cameron Carpenter had the walk-off RBI single to score senior Carson Timberlake.

Nate Newton slides back into first base safely Saturday in a nonconference game against Elkhorn. The Panthers fell 10-5.

What’s next Oregon travels to Milton at 5 p.m. Friday, hosts Madison East at 5 p.m. Monday, May 14, and travels to Watertown at 5 p.m. Tuesday, May 15.

Senior Tyler Damon continued to tear it up at the plate with another multi-hit game.

He was 3-for-3 with two doubles, three RBIs and two runs scored. Junior Noah Brindley added a two-run double, and junior Zach Tower and junior Duncan Morgan each picked up two RBIs. Spencer Buskager allowed three earned runs on three hits and eight walks in six innings to earn the win. He struck out eight.

Elkhorn 10, Oregon 5 The offense continued to hit the ball hard Saturday against nonconference Elkhorn, but the Elks jumped ahead big early and held off the Panthers 10-5.

Oregon trailed 8-0 in the fifth but scored five times to get back into the game.

Brindley was hit by a pitch, and senior Quinn Adler followed with a single into the left-center field gap. Senior Nick Wacker followed with a single to center field to load the bases with no outs.

Timberlake knocked in Brindley on an RBI sacrifice fly for the first out, and Damon (2-for-4) roped an RBI double to right-center field with two outs. Senior

Matthew deFiebre followed with a 2-run double to make it 8-5.

Morgan took the loss. He allowed five earned runs on two hits and five walks in two innings.

Oregon 13, MG 3 Oregon split the season series with Monona Grove Monday with a 13-3 win in six innings, marking the fifth time the Panthers have scored 10 or more runs this season.

Morgan, Timberlake and deFiebre had back-to-backto-back RBI doubles to start a four-run bottom of the sixth.

Oregon won on an error that scored deFiebre.

Brindley was 2-for-5 with two RBIs, and deFiebre was 3-for-5 with two doubles, two RBIs and four runs scored.

Cameron was 3-for-4 with two RBIs and a run scored, and Tower was 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored.

Damon was 3-for-4 with a run scored, and Morgan was 2-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored.

Brindley went the distance for the win. He allowed three earned runs on nine hits in six innings. Brindey walked three and struck out two.
