Way leads a library in transition Oregon resident excited for second ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ opportunity ALEXANDER CRAMER Unified Newspaper Group
On the one hand, Jennifer Way seems disinclined to change: She got her first job at the Prairie du Sac library when she was 16 and eventually worked there more than 20 years, including the last 14 as director. And she’s kept up her second job as a karate instructor since 2002. On the other hand, she embraced change when she oversaw the Prairie du Sac library during its transition into the Ruth Culver Community Library, reinventing itself in a new building, a challenge she’s excited to take on for the second time as the new director of the Oregon Library. Still, starting a new job, which she did July 2, came with some
challenges, Way told the Observer. “I’d been doing (my last) role for 14 years,” she said. “Now I don’t know how to turn the computer on or where the pencils are.” But Way said “everyb o d y ’s b e e n r e a l l y great” helping her with transition since she started as director. “It’s been a really Way busy month,” she said. “The staff has been really welcoming (and) community members have been really welcoming and helpful.” Way had visited the Oregon library for years as a customer, having lived in the village since 2010. She’s taken her daughter Amelia, 5, to storytimes, and would head in whenever she needed to print something, so she “knew the staff a little bit.” Way is taking over a library in transition, slated to move in to a new building in 2020 and in the wake of the abrupt departure of its last
Meet the director The library will host an open house from 4-6 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 14 in the Sue Ames room at the library, 256 Brook St. The meet and greet will be an informal chance to meet new director Jennifer Way and chat about the library.

Parts of the Oregon Rotary Bike Trail have been closed because of flooding for more than a month, and village leaders are taking steps to figure out how to reopen it. T h e Vi l l a g e B o a r d approved a plan Monday to have a consultant survey the flooded segment of the path to figure out a fix. When the nearly $900,000 trail opened in 2015, people had to walk “several hundred feet” off the trail before they hit any open water, public works director Jeff Rau said at Monday night’s Village Board meeting. But now, after record rainfalls, 500 to 600 feet of the trail is under water, in some places to a depth of almost 20 inches. That led the public works department to close the

Someday in the nottoo-distant future, Oregon High School graduates may be on the cutting edge of delivering new solar power technology around the country. And if they do, chances are they’ll have Chris Prahl to thank.
Prahl, an OHS building trades teacher, was among around a dozen educators from around the country selected to attend a national STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) Educator Solar Institute at Madison Area Technical College last month. At the threeday clinic, funded by the National Science Foundation, he gained valuable hands-on experience in a fast-growing industry that he’ll soon be passing along to his students.

Village of Oregon
Commission recommends Civic Campus Plan SCOTT GIRARD Unified Newspaper Group
Plenty could change between now and when the Village of Oregon is ready to build a new Village Hall and senior center. But the village has been working on its Civic Campus Plan nonetheless, providing an opportunity to “explore concepts,” village planner Mike Slavney explained Thursday to the Planning Commission. Commissioners voted
unanimously to recommend the Village Board approve the plan with two maps of downtown Oregon with proposed locations for the buildings. Slavney clarified that both of the proposals are not “specific, definitive recommendations,” given the possibility that other property becomes available downtown. “By the time we’ve got a referendum passed for facilities like the Village Hall … we might have a completely different set of circumstances regarding available properties and interest rates on borrowing,” Slavney said. “I think this will be a more effective tool if we avoid specific recommendations.” The plan initially included five buildings, with the library, youth
center and food pantry in addition to the Village Hall and senior center, but the first three now have established new locations and are either completed, under construction or planned for construction. Thursday’s approval included plans to either expand or construct a completely new Village Hall building and build a larger senior center that would take over the current lot that houses both the senior center and library. The potential expansion of the Village Hall on its current site concerned some members of the public who spoke Thursday, especially those involved with the Oregon Community Band, which holds its summer concert series in the shelter at Waterman Triangle Park. The new Village Hall would
move some parking spots and could even make the park smaller. “The plans that you’re showing for the Village Hall all impede on our best audience,” said Diane Baxter, whose husband Jim is the band director. “That park is full and overflowing every Tuesday night.” She suggested the commission and Village Board “think outside the box” and come up with other solutions. Slavney said that while he understood the concerns about parking, it became “very apparent” during the process that “we can’t have it all.” The commission asked to have the concerns expressed by speakers included in the plan the Village Board will ultimately vote on.
“The plan itself does a good job of expressing the needs of the community,” commissioner Patrick Molzahn said. “It starts, or continues, a dialogue.” Slavney stressed “the importance of keeping on our toes and looking for opportunities that arise, properties selling in the downtown area.” “If we want to keep the facilities focused in the downtown, then we have to ready to pounce on those opportunities when they arise and be prepared to consider them quickly,” he said.

Planning in brief
Ice Arena sale uncertain after proposal to expand on village land
Church plans for Thysse building
A plan that Oregon Ice Arena manager Ben Cowan said would “save the rink” is uncertain to move forward after Thursday’s Planning Commission meeting. Cowan and Shane Hughes appeared in front of the commission to discuss Hughes’ concept for future expansion of the arena and development of the surrounding area, looking for guidance on whether the investment would be worthwhile. Hughes, who said his son has played hockey at the arena for the last seven years, would want to expand the building, add a retail building and storage facility nearby and eventually expand to the east — onto village land — for something like a hotel or large recreational attraction. Hughes said his purchase of the arena, which Cowan
said had a loan coming due, hinged on eliminating the financial “risk” of the arena with something more stable like the storage facility. “Buying this ice rink is not a good decision,” Hughes said. “I’m going to have to do a lot to make this work.” While no vote took place Thursday, commissioners generally seemed comfortable with expanding the arena, and were somewhat amenable to the retail idea. The proposed storage facility and expansion onto Village parkland, though, was a tougher sell. “It would have to be something really, really special,” commissioner John Bieno said. “It could not be another ice rink-type arrangement.” They also made it clear that any sale of Village land would involve the Village Board, and any support would require buy-in from lots of people.
“The community would have to be behind it to convince me to support it,” said commissioner Patrick Molzahn. While Hughes said he had “some decisions” to make and was questioning his plan toward the end of the discussion, Bieno said the commission couldn’t give much more guidance about whether any future proposals were likely to be approved. “I’m not sure we can give

Planned uses for the Thysse Printing building on the Village’s northwest side could include a church, music studio, early learning center, photography studio and a spa. A representative from Community of Life Church, which plans to take over the space when Thysse moves to a new facility, presented conceptual plans Thursday to the Planning Commission that would not expand the building’s footprint at all. Commissioners generally supported the mixed uses, with the only potential sticking point being parking. There are about half the spaces on the site than would normally be necessary for the set of uses, but commissioners indicated they would be willing to compromise, given different peak times for uses of the different businesses. “I think that you’re headed down a good path with this project,” said commissioner John Bieno.

Trail: Unprecidented flooding leads village officials to search for a fix Continued from page 1 a record for the area. Rau said they’d expected the water to recede by now. “Quite honestly, the levels aren’t going down,” Rau said. “With the wet weather we’ve experienced over the last five to 10 years, it’s just something we’re going to see, it raised a little bit over time.” The flooded sections sit in a natural kettle, or low-lying area, Rau said, and the unusually wet weather has inundated the spot with water that has nowhere to go. “It’s not like there’s something out there that’s damming it up that we can go and remove, at least that’s our understanding of the situation,” Rau said. “So you either move the path or you raise the path.” Rau said either would be costly. To figure out how to proceed, staff recommended the village hire its engineering consultant, Ruekert and Mielke Inc., to survey 1,100 to 1,200 feet of the flooded path. “It’s step one in determining what we do for the path out there,” Rau said. The board unanimously approved the work, which the firm estimated will cost $1,000 and take about 10 days from the date it was approved, Aug. 6.
Trail plans date to 2007 The Oregon Rotary Trail has been open for three years, but its roots go back to when current board president Steve Staton assumed office in 2007 after talking about improving the village’s biking and recreation trails. During the strategic planning process in 2010, Staton noted that 70 percent of village respondents agreed or strongly agreed they wanted a trail into Madison. Though that hasn’t come to pass – yet – the Rotary Trail ends about two miles east of the Badger State Trail, which goes to the capital. It can be seen as a first step toward that goal and is even listed on Google Maps as “Oregon Badger State Trail Phase 1.”
the board discussed possible solutions, but none was an easy fit. Trustee Amanda Peterson asked why they weren’t talking about moving the water rather than the path, but Rau pointed out “it’s a lot, a lot, a lot of water.” Doing some quick calculations, Rau estimated the amount of water in the inundated area would equal about one acre under 205 feet of water. Aerial photos displayed at the meeting from 2017 show several disconnected small bodies of water in the area, which is roughly bordered by Madsen Road and Forest Glen north of West NetherNo easy fix wood Road. The section of trail is Before approving the measure, between wetlands owned by the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Alpine Dairy Farm. Trying to move the water would require the village would to devote staff time and money to pump the area at least daily, Rau said, adding that getting a permit from the Department of Natural Resources to create a berm to hold the water might take a long time. There was also talk of using a “bladder dam” – essentially a “big ol’ sausage,” as Rau put it, but that type of thing tends to attract vandalism and would come with similar concerns about permitting, he added.
A long wait After receiving the survey, the
probable next step is to conduct a feasibility study for different ways to fix the problem, such as making the path a boardwalk, filling in land to raise the path or moving that section of trail uphill, Rau said. Gracz said they know it’s a popular path and “people have been very patient with us.” “We know we need to find a fix for it,” Gracz said. The survey should be completed by mid-August, meaning feasibility studies wouldn’t come until September at the earliest. Trustee Jerry Bollig said that waiting might be the prudent thing to do. “I think what I’m hearing is there’s no quick, inexpensive fix for this,” Bollig said. “So it’s going to be costly. If we kind of drag our feet – not drag our feet, but if we kind of just take our time and see if this will possibly reverse itself, that might be the best thing to do.” Acknowledging that he didn’t want to recommend the board spend money on something that might be a one-time problem, Rau said barring a decade of dry weather, this is something that “will happen again.” “I mean, I don’t like it. People use that path a lot. It’s a shame that we don’t have it open all the way,” Rau said. Contact Alexander Cramer at alexander.cramer@wcinet.com.
Filling Groenier’s vacant seat The Village Board seat formerly held by Darlene Groenier has been vacant since her death in June. At its meeting Monday, the board agreed to seek applicants to fill the seat for the balance of the term, which ends in the spring of 2019. Village administrator Mike Gracz said he’d use the same process as he had in years’ past, as it had worked well for the village. Interested candidates will fill out an application and then be asked to attend the board’s Sept. 10 meeting to answer a few questions. Peggy Haag, the Village clerk, said application materials will be available on the village’s website on Wednesday, Aug. 8. The deadline to return the application is noon Friday, Sept. 7. The board will then hold a simple majority vote after interviewing the candidates to determine who will serve out the remaining 8 months of the term. Groenier’s seat has been held empty, with a bouquet of flowers marking the place. – Alexander Cramer

Continued from page 1 Way said she was aware of the situation but it hadn’t put her off applying for the job. She’s met with members of the library board and village staff, and said they’re concentrating on “moving forward” and making sure there’s a strong relationship between the library and the village. “I wanted to be a part of the new library and I really felt strongly about wanting to pursue it,” she said.
Career path Way holds two degrees from the University of Wisconsin – Madison, including a master’s in library and information studies, but she initially wanted to be a teacher before having second thoughts. “At the last minute of the last day, I turned down admission to the (College of Education),” Way recalled. “Libraries have everything I like. Every day is different, working with the community, with books and education.” These days, Way said most of her reading is children’s books she reads to her kids, but that’s not the only teaching she does. She’s a fifth-degree black belt in karate and teaches classes to adults once a week. “It’s a good physical activity. Its mentally engaging and it requires dedication,” Way said. “It helps inspire confidence in a lot of people who normally wouldn’t gravitate towards athletic activities.
Family Matters Way lives in the village with her husband, Randy, daughter, Amelia, who will soon start kindergarten, and son, Charlie, 2. Randy is an administrator at Madison College who grew up in Oregon and has served on the Village Board. He taught in the Oregon School District for a time, as did his father, Mike Way. Now, the family’s Oregon roots are growing even deeper. When Jennifer Way told her daughter about the job, Amelia was happy that she’d be working at “her library,” Way said. And Amelia’s mom was happy her commute dropped from “two hours to two minutes.” When I was a teenager, it was something I always wanted to do.”
Building the new library As Way settles in to her new job, there’s a lot left to be planned for the new library, expected to move to the former Methodist Church property at 249 N. Main St., and Way said she’s excited to get working. She brings experience of successes in the last transition she oversaw, and has been taking mental notes on what she wants to add to the space, drawing from her visits to other libraries, like the one in Kansas City where she saw “the coolest parking ramp in the whole world”
as well as a tree in the kids’ area. “Just something really imaginative to get them engaged, and the steps leading up to it were books,” she said of the design. At the Ruth Culver Library, Way saw the public benefit of adding quiet spaces like study rooms. “We thought they might be used by businesses (or to) tutor kids after school,” Way said. “But they’re pretty much in use from when we were open to when we closed.” For Oregon’s new library, Way pictures comfortable spaces for the public to use, including community rooms and maybe a makerspace. Getting there will require fundraising, though, which Way is familiar with from her experience in Prairie du Sac. “Asking people and encouraging people to give money is not the most fun,” Way said. “But people want to live in a community that’s great.” Way said the library raised about $1.5 million in private money in Prairie du Sac. While there aren’t final numbers in Oregon, the total is expected to be much higher here, somewhere between $2 million and $6 million. “It’s not the easiest thing to do in the world, but it’s really meaningful work,” Way said. “It’s not often you get to build a library in the community. You get one chance to do the best you can, it’s neat to be able to make that happen.” Contact Alexander Cramer at alexander.cramer@wcinet.com.
New library fundraising update The Village Board is in the process of hiring a fundraising consultant to “get everyone on the same page,” library director Jennifer Way told the Observer. “We don’t want to set up a goal that is more than is achievable,” she said. “(The consultant will) come back with a recommendation with what they see is a reasonable goal.” The current library is a little over 10,000 square feet and a 2016
space-needs study recommended building a 35,000-square-foot library to serve the village’s needs for the next 20 to 30 years. That building would cost $10-12 million and is a recommendation the Library Board has seconded. The Village Board approved $6 million in funding for the new library, which is scheduled to move into the former Methodist Church site at 249 N. Main St. Consultants have estimated that would provide
room for a 20,000-square-foot facility. Discrepancies over the budgeting process led, in part, to the abrupt resignation of the previous library director, Nikki Busch. Way hopes to be able to start working with an architect yet this year. She said it’s important to get the building to match the historic feel of the neighborhood. – Alexander Cramer

New burning ordinance stalls
Senior housing OK’d
Unified Newspaper Group
A proposed burning ordinance prompted a spirited debate Monday between the Oregon Village Board and a resident who said he’d have “big issues” if he were prohibited from burning brush in his backyard. The ordinance would effect ive l y b a n bu r n i n g b r u s h throughout the village. Don Gray has used the boulder-lined fire pit in the backyard of his home on Jefferson Street to burn brush for years. He told the board logistical reasons prevent him from bringing
the material to the street for pickup and that he didn’t see the need to “legislate common sense.” Trustee Jeff Boudreau said he respected Gray’s stance, but opposed changing the ordinance for one particular situation. Boudreau advocated the ordinance be written broadly enough to allow the fire department discretion in enforcement, and recommended Gray work with the department to work out an equitable solution. Boudreau cited the recent example of a Town of Dunn man with decades of experience whose brush fire went out
of control and caused thousands of dollars in damage. “Fire is a beast,” Boudreau said. “Just because it hasn’t happened doesn’t mean it won’t happen.” The board decided to table the ordinance because of potential issues with its language brought up by village attorney Matt Dregne. It will revisit the measure in a future meeting, and instructed Gray to work with public works director Jeff Rau to resolve issues specific to his situation.

candidates on the ballot for the Democrats, though two of them – Andy Gronik and Dana Wachs – have withdrawn from the race and endorsed other candidates. The eight remaining candidates are state superintendent Tony Evers, former Democratic Party of Wisconsin chair Matt Flynn, former Wisconsin Democracy Campaign executive director Mike McCabe, Professional Fire Fighters of Wisconsin president Mahlon Mitchell, lawyer Josh Pade, former Rep. Kelda Roys, Madison Mayor Paul Soglin and Sen. Kathleen Vinehout. While Walker faces a primary challenge in Sun Prairie business owner Rob Meyer, he is expected to win the Republican nomination. Also on the Republican ballot is a five-person race for the nomination to face Democratic U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin in November. The two highest-profile candidates are Sen. Leah Vukmir and businessman Kevin Nicholson. The other three candidates are

“Bergamont Senior Living,” the working title of the age 55-plus housing development north of Drumlin Drive and east of Bergamont Boulevard, received Oregon Village Board approval for its site plan Monday. The nine duplexes will hold 18 units and cost in the “high $200ks” each for the 1,700-square-foot ranch-style homes, developer Brett Riemen said. They also include a 700-square-foot basement homeowners may choose to finish. Riemen told the board he worked with neighbors concerned about flooding issues, meeting personally with a few of them to walk through the site and speak with the project’s engineers.

Police peacefully resolve 2-day standoff
Unified Newspaper Group
Police arrested a 38-yearold man on July 31, without incident, two days after he allegedly brandished a shotgun during an argument with his mother at their home. Officers surrounded the home Sunday night, July 29, but could not establish contact or get him to leave until Tuesday afternoon, Oregon Police Department chief Brian Uhl told the Observer. The man has been charged with misdemeanor disorderly conduct involving use of a deadly weapon with domestic abuse assessments. Although other news outlets have reported the man’s name, it is the Observer’s policy to only name those charged with felonies. During the argument that began on July 29, the man pulled out a shotgun and began making suicidal statements, Uhl said. His mother left and told police she didn’t feel safe in the home on the 100 block of West Lincoln Street. After she called the police, officers surrounded

but his brother offered to help the department communicate. The man responded to his brother and the situation was brought to an end when officers arrested him without incident, Uhl said. As of Thursday, Aug. 2, the man had bailed out of jail and Uhl said there was no danger to the public. As a precaution before officers approached, the department placed a “reverse
911 call” to residents in the immediate area to either leave their residences or shelter in place. A woman wrote on Facebook she received a call from the Dane County emergency system that told her to “lock doors, stay inside and away from windows.” Contact Alexander Cramer at alexander.cramer@ wcinet.com.

Getting rid of anger and bitterness “Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” – Ephesians 4:31-32 NIV We all sometimes hold on to anger and bitterness for too long. There is something in us which wants to savor the bitterness of real or imagined wrongs which have been done to us. We obsessively return in our mind to what the person said or did, like touching the sore of a wound. But just as your mother reminded you to stop picking your scabs, we would do well to let go of anger and bitterness. In the book “Flourish,” the psychologist Martin Seligman reports that “Holding on to anger and bitterness maintains depression and undermines well-being.” Besides being the Christian thing to do, and a reflection of God’s forgiveness, forgiving others allows us to move on with our lives. It’s always better to forget the wrongs done to us in the past and move forward with plans for a better future. Some people are blessed with the ability to almost immediately let things go, while others are cursed with a long memory for grievances. So even if you cannot manage to forget the wrong done to you, you might still find it in your power to forgive. – Christopher Simon

Bringing home the silver Special Olympics team finishes second at state The Oregon Special Olympics softball team finished second at the Wisconsin State Games last weekend despite a couple injuries and temperatures in the 90s. Oregon never gave up and played through some tough competition from Team Milwaukee Blaze and the Stevens Point Dawgs, though. The team’s lofty goal since early April, they earned the invitation to play at state, held at Carroll College in Waukesha after playing in two other tournaments this summer. The Panthers played in the Middleton Battle of the Bats on June 23, finishing second. They also played again in the District Softball tournament on July 14 in Onalaska where they again finished second.

Home Talent League
Orioles’ streak ends abruptly against top-seed Cavs MARK NESBITT Assistant sports editor
Despite finishing the reason with a blowout loss to Verona, the Oregon Home Talent team got to show the development of some of its young players down the stretch. Prior to Sunday’s 18-1 loss in the first round of the Western Section playoffs, the Orioles had won four games in a row to finish 6-11. That got them into the playoffs for the first time since 2014. And it
tripled their win total from 2017, when they finished 2-14. So losing to the Cavaliers didn’t faze Oregon manager Will Reinicke. “It’s Verona,” he said. “It’s nothing to be surprised about. They hit the ball exceptionally well. They were on their ‘A’ game. We made the playoffs. That was goal No. 1.” Reinicke pointed out the Orioles had three first-year players in the league who were new to using wooden
bats, which are required in Home Talent. “Getting used to the league and pitching is a lot different than high school,” he said. “It’s a different competitive level. These guys are the real deal. They are not going to come and mess around.” Reinicke said a moment he will always remember from this season is the walk-off win over West Middleton in the first win of the four-game winning streak. “They and Verona are our
big rivals,” Reinicke said of West Middleton. “They are always coming in hot-headed. It’s just nice to beat them.”
Verona 18, Oregon 1 Oregon’s four-game winning streak came to an end in the first round of the Western Section playoffs as Verona crushed the Orioles 18-1 in seven innings. A trio of Verona pitchers combined to toss a no-hitter at Stampfl Field against the Orioles, who were making their
first playoff appearance since upsetting top-seeded Verona as the eighth seed four years ago. Verona starting pitcher Jason Erxleben pitched four no-hit innings for the Cavaliers, retiring 12 straight batters and striking out four to earn the win. Verona third baseman John Moynihan went 3-for-4 with six RBIs as the Cavaliers (152) pounded out 19 hits. Every player in the starting lineup had at least one hit as the
Cavaliers went 11-for-21 with runners in scoring position. With the victory top-seeded Verona advances on to host fifth-seeded Pine Bluff-Mount Horeb in the Western Section semifinals at 1 p.m. Sunday. Verona shortstop Justin Scanlon led off the first inning, smoking a double to left field off Oregon starting pitcher Logan Laski. Derek Burgenske then lined a single to center and Mike Jordahl

OCSC Tigersharks
Rugby
Tigersharks finish top 10 at state meet The Oregon Community Swim Club (OCSC) had their second consecutive state championship top-10 finish at the 12 and Under Long Course State Championship swim meet, held July 27-29 at the Schroeder YMCA in Brown Deer, finishing eighth out of 45 teams participating. In addition, 10-year-old Oliva Sina was state champion in the 100-meter backstroke and the 50 back, the first for the club in over a decade. The team’s talented group of young swimmers populated the top-eight podium 23 times, setting several new club records long the way, as well as earning nationally ranked times.
10-and-under highlights The OCSC’s 10-and-under girls placed third overall in part to their bronze-medal relays in the 200 medley (Alyse Block, Lilian Page, Sina butterfly and Kennedy Faris) and in 200-meter freestyle (Sina, Block, Faris and Rylee Olson). On Friday night, 10-year-old Block medaled in the 400 free with her seventh-place finish. Saturday morning, the 100 back brought two Sharks to the podium, with Block taking fourth and
Sina, breaking the old club record by more than four seconds, with a time of 1:17.60. The Sharks also scored in the 100 free. Sina took silver with her runner-up performance. The morning concluded with Sina medaling again, this time in the 200-individual medley. She finished fourth. Sunday started with the 10-and-unders back for more. The 10 and under girls repeated their relay bronze in the 200 free relay. Six Sharks swam the 50 back. Block took sixth and Sina won the event. Her 35.70 wrestled the club record from Block and was also a best time. Block also medaled with her fifth-place finish in the 50 free. The 10-and-under meet concluded with Sina taking silver with another best time. Matthew Johnson swam the 50 free for the boys, dropping 5.09 seconds and getting the qualifying time in what had been a bonus event.
Twelve-year-old Savannah Acker came from fifth at the 150-meter mark to barely get touched out for third in the 200 fly, grabbing the club’s first medal of the meet with her bronze. The swim was also Acker’s first new club record. The Friday night session concluded as Acker medaled for the second time with her fourth-place finish in the girls’ 400 free. Acker dropped 17.54 seconds Sunday, bypassing all but one opponent for a silver medal and another club record in the 400-individual medley. The afternoon concluded with another bronze medal, best time and club record by Acker, 10:03.42, in the girls 800 free. Twelve-year-old Spencer Stluka finished fourth in the boy’s 800 free with a zone cut and new club record, 10:17.87, on Saturday. He also took bronze in the 200 free, shattering the club record in the event with his 2:16.87. Stluka also placed fifth in the 400 free. The boys 50 free brought the Tigersharks to the medal podium for the second time as Stluka finEleven and 12-year-olds ished eighth. Stluka and Finnley Conklin, The 11-and-12-year old meet started out great Friday night when 11, finished fifth and 12th in the 100 free, respectively. Stluka set the girls won the 200 butterfly.

another club record and medaled again. Stluka swam the 400 individual medley and dropped 28.89 seconds to become the only Shark to medal in all six swims and set one more club record. Conklin took bronze in the 200 breast and was fourth in the 50 breast. He also set a new club record with his 36.81. Conklin later medaled with his fourth-place finish in the 100 breast. His 1:12.66 was another club record. Next up for the OCSC Tigersharks will be the 13 and Over State meet where 14-year-olds, David Stevenson and Alexandra Olson will swim. Simultaneously, six other Sharks will join team Wisconsin to compete in the Central States Zone Championship meet at the University of Minnesota Natatorium. Those swimmers are Savannah Acker (400 free, 200 fly, 50 back and 1,500 free), Alyse Block (50, 100 back), Izzy Block (50 free), Finnley Conklin (50 breast), Olivia Sina (100, 200, 400 free, 50 and 100 back and 200 IM) and Spencer Stluka (50, 100, 200, 400 and 800 free).

All we can do is build off that.” The Cavaliers’ offense didn’t let up, posting a threerun second and three-run third. Laski pitched three innings and gave up nine runs on 10 hits, while striking out two and walking five. Erxleben and relief pitcher Kyle Nelson combined to retire 16 straight batters. Oregon’s Jack Sommers broke up the perfect game bid when he coaxed a walk off Nelson in the sixth. Ian Galloway then walked to give the Orioles their first runner to reach second base in the game.

Prahl: Looking to take lessons learned back to students
Obituary Harold Gilbertson
Harold Leroy Gilbertson
Harold Leroy Gilbertson, age 87, passed away on Wednesday, Aug 1, 2018. He was born in Stoughton, to the late Gustave and Alfie Gilbertson. Harold served in the U.S. Air Force from 1951 to 1955 in Korea, in the 3241st Test Squadron. He r e c e ive d d i s t i n g u i s h e d medals including the United Nations Service Medal, Korean Service Medal and the Good Conduct Medal. Harold was a retired service and repairman who ran a shop in Brooklyn. Prior to this, he worked as a machinist at Gisholt in Madison and traveled around doing various other jobs. Not only did he love “tinkering” with sewing machines to bicycles to clocks, but his true passion was in photography.
He loved capturing perfect photos of farms, birds, families, flowers and scenery. Harold is survived by his wife, Carmen Virginia Gilbertson, and step-daughters, Maria Carolina (Tim) Sanchez, Victoria Morrison, and Esther (David) Moore. He had a twinkle in his eye for his grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-nephew. He is further survived by his niece, Carole LaRoche, and nephew, Don Dodge. He was always so very proud of them all. He was preceded in death by his parents; brother, Earl Gilbertson; and sisters, Gladys Gilbertson and Marge Dodge. Funeral services were held at Gunderson Stoughton Funeral and Cremation Care, 1358 Hwy. 51, Stoughton, at 11 a.m., on Wednesday, Aug. 8, 2018, w i t h t h e R ev. G e o r g e Kaminski presiding. Visitation was held at the funeral home from 10 a.m. until the time of the service on Wednesday. Special thanks to JoAnn Van Norman and Agrace HospiceCare. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be gifted in Harold’s name to the Oregon Food Pantry and Oregon Library. Online condolences may be made at gunderson fh.com.
Continued from page 1 “I was able to make the same mistakes they will, and develop a better overall understanding of what concepts and tasks are easier or more difficult to understand and perform,” Prahl wrote in an email to the Observer. “The class was very informative and extremely well laid-out.” Attendees installed several residential solar energy systems and connected them to the electrical grid. They also learned fundamental solar and electrical principles, demonstrate processes to ensure electrical safety and code compliance. Prahl said getting handson experience was a “great advantage, and he’ll take what he’s learned for his students to perform in the classroom – in particular, introducing his Construction Exploration classes to the installation and performance side of solar panels. “I am hoping to modify an activity that was done in the institute regarding solar panel installation, that teaches how it is installed, wired into the home electrical system, and incorporate a battery storage system that can be used as a backup or be supplemental,” he wrote the Observer.

Science Foundation program called CREATE (Center for Renewable Energy Advanced Technological Education), a national program that holds workshops around the country. Ken Walz, the Madison College chemistry and engineering instructor who runs the clinics, said around 15 educators participated; about half from Wisconsin and half from other parts of the country, from both high school and college. He said teachers are chosen by CREATE, which seeks educators “who have a vision to be able to take what they learn about solar technology and be able Bringing it back home to take that back to their own Madison College is a lead students.” “They’re looking for institution for a National
experienced educators with a direct record of working with their students,” Walz told the Observer. “They fill out some essay questions that ask about prior experience with renewable energy and what their plans are for implementing that teaching in their own classrooms.” At the clinic, once participants have “learned a bit about the technology” and gotten some hands-on experience, they start designing their lesson plans, and how they want to integrate their learning back into their classrooms. Prahl said he’d like to conduct a cost analysis on installing a solar system on a future student trade house, which the class builds and puts on
the market each year, to see the practicality in partnering with a local contractor to give the students a “realworld” example. With Alliant Energy recently releasing its longterm goals to close down its coal plants and increase solar and wind power, Prahl said “this is potentially a topic that will impact students in the not-too-distant future and doesn’t seem to be going away.” “The Oregon School District does a great job of supporting student careers in the various trades, where they can be very successful,” he said. OHS principal Jim Pliner credited Prahl for making learning “relevant to the lives of the students in his classes.” “He looks for ways to expand his knowledge of industry trends and shares that information with students to give them a handson understanding,” he wrote the Observer in an email. “New learning applies to adults as well as students. Without such opportunities to learn about the latest in renewable energy and the associated construction principles, we would become irrelevant quickly.” Email Unified Newspaper Group reporter Scott De Laruelle at scott.delaruelle@wcinet.com.

APPROVED: ________________________________ /s/ Steven L. Staton, Village President ATTEST: ________________________________ /s/ Peggy S. K. Haag, Village Clerk Approved: July 23, 2018 Published: August 9, 2018 WNAXLP *** ORDINANCE NO. 18-13 VILLAGE OF OREGON DANE COUNTY, WISCONSIN AN ORDINANCE CHANGING THE ZONING CLASSIFICATION OF LOT 499 OF THE PLAT OF THE BERGAMONT TO A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT (PDD) RECITALS 1. The Spanos Group, (“Applicant”), on behalf of Bergamont Real Estate Holding Company LLC (“Owner”) has requested a change to the zoning classification of Lot 499 in that certain plat called “The Bergamont” (the “Property”). Applicant and Owner are requesting that the Property be placed in a Planned Development District (“PDD”). 2. The Planned Development District is intended to provide a voluntary regulatory framework designed to encourage and promote improved environmental and aesthetic design in the Village by allowing for greater design freedom, imagination and flexibility in the development of land while insuring substantial compliance with the basic intent of the Village’s Zoning Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan. 3. Applicant has submitted a set of documents which collectively constitute a combined General Development Plan and Specific Implementation Plan (the “GDP/SIP”) for the Property, and which is attached as Exhibit A hereto. 4. On August 2, 2018, the Village Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the application, recommended changing the zoning classification of the Property to PDD, and recommended approving the GDP/SIP for the Property. 5. The proposed GDP/SIP requests the following flexibilities: A. While single-family dwellings are not allowable uses in the Institutional District, the Property may be used for single-family dwellings in either a duplex or a twin-house as described in Section 17-206(1)(a) of the Village Code of Ordinances. B. While multiple principal structures are not allowable in the Institutional District without a conditional use permit, nine principal structures (duplex or twin-house) may be constructed on the Property. C. The proposed development will not meet the front yard setback of 30 feet for the two dwelling units fronting Bergamont Boulevard. Specifically, a minimum 30 feet is required. (1) The northern dwelling has a minimum setback of 24.5 feet. Its angled position results in a maximum setback of 39 feet. The average setback for the northern dwelling along Bergamont Boulevard is 31.75 feet — just over the 30-foot requirement. (2) The southern dwelling has a
minimum setback of 28.6 feet. Its angled position results in a maximum setback of 48 feet. The average setback for the southern dwelling along Bergamont Boulevard is 38.3 feet — well over the 30-foot requirement. D. The proposed development will not meet the building separation requirement of 20 feet between Buildings #2 and #3, and Buildings #3 and #4. In both instances, a 15-foot separation is provided. (1) The site plan results in six instances of typical side-to-side building separation — three on the north side of the project, two on the south side of the project, and one on the east side of the project. The average building separation in these six instances is 20.17 feet, or just over the standard 20-foot requirement. E. The total Impervious Surface Ratio for the site is 51.3%, just over the 50% requirement. (1) The T-turnaround adds 3,168 square feet of impervious surface area. Without the T-turnaround, requested by the Village Staff, the Impervious Surface Ratio is 49.12%. 6. With respect to the General Development Plan, the Village Board finds as follows: A. The GDP/SIP will expand and improve senior housing options in the Village, specifically residences for active seniors. Except for the requested zoning flexibilities, the requirements of the zoning ordinance are met. The Comprehensive Plan includes several goals and objectives relating to providing housing options for senior citizens. B. The GDP/SIP responds to a desire to provide additional senior housing options in the Village. It also responds to evolving market trends for active seniors. C. The proposed development of the Property is and will continue to be surrounded by a wide range of residential uses. The project will serve as a transitional land use between apartments to the north and duplexes to the south; and between apartments to the west and single-family dwellings to the east. Overall, the project will be within 2% of the maximum 50% required Impervious Surface Ratio required to the TR-6 zoning district, and it will meet the landscaping required for the TR-6 zoning district (the TR-6 district being an appropriate district for comparison purposes). 7. With respect to the Specific Implementation Plan, the Village Board finds as follows: A. With the exception of the approved flexibilities, all standards of the Zoning Ordinance and other applicable Village, state and federal regulations are met. B. The public health and safety is not endangered. C. Adequate public facilities and utilities are provided. D. Adequate control of stormwater and erosion are; provided and the disruption of existing topography, drainage patterns, and vegetative cover is maintained. E. Appropriate traffic control and parking are provided, including for emergency vehicles. F. Appropriate landscaping and open space areas are provided. Specifically, the project will meet the landscaping that would be required for the TR-6 zoning district. G. The appearance of structures maintains a consistency of design, materials, colors, and arrangement with nearby properties of similar use, which comply with the general architectural guidelines provided in subsections (1) through (5) below: (1) Exterior construction materials are consistent with Section 17-718 of the Village of Oregon Code of Ordinances. (2) Exterior building design or appearance are not of such unorthodox or abnormal character in relation to its surroundings as to be unsightly or offensive
to generally accepted taste and community standards. (3) Exterior building design or appearance are not so identical with nearby buildings so as to create excessive monotony or drabness. (4) Exterior building design or appearance is not constructed or faced with an exterior material which is aesthetically incompatible with other nearby buildings or which presents an unattractive appearance to the public and from surrounding properties. (5) Exterior building, sign and lighting design or appearance are not sited on the property in a manner which would unnecessarily destroy or substantially damage the natural beauty of the area. H. The proposed development is and will continue to be surrounded by single-, two-, and multi-family family residential uses. The proposed project creates gentle north-to-south and east-to-west land use transitions; and thus the desired consistency of land uses, density, and impacts in relation to neighboring properties. I. The proposed buildings will not create an increased impact on neighboring properties as they are the same height or shorter than most properties on the block. J. The overall amount of paving will not greatly increase over planned amounts. Overall, it will be within 2% of the impervious surface ratio required for the TR-6 zoning district. NOW THEREFORE the Village Board of the Village of Oregon, Dane County, Wisconsin adopts the following ordinance: Section 1. The recitals set forth above are material to and are incorporated in this ordinance as if set forth in full. Section 2.
