Balls no longer in the air After 21 years, Oregon Juggling Club calls it quits Unified Newspaper Group
Danny Tomaro, founder of the Oregon Juggling Club, is pretty sure the club met for the last time Aug. 30. The club’s last event two weeks ago was cut short due to a heavy rain, but the group did manage to meet at Waterman Triangle Park downtown – as it has for the past 21 years – for about half an hour. “When we got there, it looked threatening for rain almost immediately,” Tomaro recounted. “We were just warming up without any fire, and it started getting real windy. We actually did light up the torches for a
while and we all took a turn, but the wind was blowing the fire out, and it was getting pretty tough to juggle.” The group of five jugglers then took out some glowing balls and clubs that have lights inside them and juggled for another 20 minutes before the rain came and the participants left for the last time.
Opening doors Tomaro’s not happy to see the club end due to a lack of participants, but he is grateful for the many doors that juggling opened since he formed the club 21 years ago. “We didn’t juggle professionally – none of us consider ourselves
professional jugglers – but we got invited a lot of times to juggle for other people,” he said. “We juggled for the Boy Scouts, at the senior center, at New Year’s Eve parties that the community put on, at some of the local daycares and other groups like that.” Tomaro observed that most people found entertainment in watching others juggle, although to him it was more a demonstration than a performance. He learned to juggle when he was 40 by reading a book his wife had given him as a Christmas gift,

Oregon School District officials are pleased how this year’s school year’s budget is looking so far. School board members approved a preliminary budget Monday night with a mill rate of 11.62 per $1,000 of equalized assessed value. That would translate to $2,314 on a $200,000 home, and school district property taxes are slightly more than half a
home’s overall property tax bill. The final rate will be set at the board’s annual public hearing and budget meeting on Sept. 25. The board plans to finalize the entire budget next month. “We are looking very good,” district business manager Andy Weiland told the board, noting the numbers are not yet final. “The staffing plan was covered … and also Year 3 of teacher compensation plan

When it comes to having healthy schools, the Oregon School District is at the head of the class. District schools were honored recently by two national healthy schools programs. Oregon Middle School, Rome Corners Intermediate School, Brooklyn Elementary School, Netherwood Knoll Elementary School and Prairie View Elementary School were among only 15 schools in the state and 323 in the country named to the 2017 list of America’s
Healthiest Schools. The awards are based on criteria like serving healthier meals and snacks, getting students moving more, offering high-quality physical and health education, and empowering school leaders to become healthy role models, according to the Alliance for a Healthier Generation. “ T h e s e s c h o o l s h ave worked to serve healthier meals and snacks, increase physical activity, offer high-quality physical and health education programs, and empower school leaders to become healthy role models,” said State Superintendent Tony Evers in a Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction press release.

Juggling: 21-year-old club’s remaining members recall the early day Continued from page 1 “Juggling for the Complete Klutz.” He turns 62 next month, and in the past 20-plus years he’s taught an untold number of people how to juggle. And he’s juggled in some unusual places, including airports and during visits to Mexico, India and China. He and fellow club member Doug Hultine once juggled for three consecutive nights at the Kohl Center in Madison as part of the UW Marching Band’s annual concert series. “They were doing a performance that was going
to include circus songs,” Tomaro recalled, “and they wo n d e r e d i f w e wo u l d come and stand in the audience. When they did the set, they would shine a spotlight on us juggling and passing clubs to each other. “So even though we’re not performers, we were able to perform in front of a lot of people.”
A kids’ club initially Tomaro, a longtime village resident, founded the club in March 1996 for his kids and their friends. Gradually, as the kids grew up and moved on to other things, their parents
replaced them in the club. “Parents would bring their kids and often stay there rather than drive home, so I got some of them interested in juggling,” he remembered. “And then after the kids quit coming, the parents kept coming in many cases. And that’s who we have left now – some of the adults who joined the club later.” At its apex, the club had about 25 regular participants, but aging and attrition have reduced the group to just five or six, and over the summer only three or four jugglers would show up for the weekly gathering
at Triangle Park. “It’s still fun, but it was a lot bigger in the past,” Tomaro lamented. “I guess all of us are getting older.”
Almost anyone can do it He said juggling doesn’t require a lot of athletic ability, but it does take a lot of practice. He explained that very young kids can learn but tend to lose interest before they master it, while adults are able to learn but it tends to take a long time. “I taught myself to juggle from a book, but I’ve also taught a lot of people over

the years how to juggle, and it’s easiest for teenagers to learn,” he said. “They just have the better hand-eye coordination and quicker reactions and such.” He noted that one club member learned to juggle when he was in his 60s, and a decade later he’s still at it. Carol Lochner was another late bloomer. In a 2010 Observer article about the club, Lochner said she learned to juggle when she was 50 and was still at it 12 years later. And she was one of the few remaining members when the club met for the last time Aug. 30. “My husband said I could never do it, so that was the challenge,” she said in the 2010 article.
In the nearly 20 years since she learned to juggle, Lochner has taught the skill to others. “It took me about two months to learn to juggle three balls,” she said, “but kids can learn in five minutes.” Lochner said she finds juggling fun and therapeutic. Tomaro also thinks it’s fun and sees it as a way to reduce stress. “When you’re focused on learning something, you’re really in the moment,” he said. “So every time we met, it was a kind of stress reliever for me.” Contact Bill Livick at bill. livick@wcinet.com.

With a late-October target move-in date approaching, the Oregon Area Food Pantry has set a Sept. 26 organizational “town hall” meeting on its new 4,232-square-foot headquarters off Alpine Parkway. “We want this pantry to be a successful community resource,” OAFP board member Jenny Wagner said in a Sept. 8 telephone interview. “So we want to get people’s input on everything from its operations and the goods and services we will offer to learning how to volunteer or support the new food pantry and help with food donations. That’s the purpose of this meeting – taking our organizational efforts to the next level.” The meeting is scheduled from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Holy Mother of Consolation Church, 651 N. Main St., Oregon. OAFP board members and other officials will be available to answer questions and provide feedback, Wagner said. Wagner also reported that construction of the new OAFP building— behind Peoples United Methodist Church — is on schedule and on budget, boosted by cost-cutting and in-kind donations of supplies and labor throughout the construction process. She specifically mentioned recent donations such as $8,000 worth of new shelving by Kwik Trip, Inc., and in-kind labor, construction and supplies by Dan Bertler, of Madison’s Supreme Structures, Inc., which

Fee-waiver delay At its Aug. 21 meeting, the Oregon Village Board delayed a decision until sometime in December on a OCRN request to waive more than $10,000 in permit and impact fees for the new building. While trustees voiced continued support for the new building at that meeting, finance director Lisa Novinska reported that the village has only $10,000 remaining in its 2017 contingency fund. OCRN’s request amounted to $10,255. The Village Board also waived construction consultants’ fees and made a

The district will complete the 2006 sale of the former high school building to Gorman and Company property. District superintendent Brian Busler said a six-foot strip of property that was mistakenly not included in the purchase will be sold to Gorman for $1. He said the mistake came to light after Gorman and Company began looking to purchase some adjoining land, and noticed the six-foot piece of land had not been included in the 2006 deal with the school district.
Ground was broken at the new OAFP site in April after a community push for a new building that began in 2013. The new facility will more than triple the food pantry’s current size and be wheelchair-accessible.

It will also feature more storage space, a loading and sorting area, a walk-in cooler and freezer, shopping area, meeting room, administrative office space and restrooms. Other improvements will include better temperature control – the current building has no air conditioning or heat – and a waiting area so visitors no longer need to stand in line outside during harsh weather. The new building will replace the current food pantry, located in a 1,200-square-foot warehouse at 1092 Union Rd. donated by Charlene and Ed Hefty 16 years ago. Between 2000 and 2015, the number of families served by the OAFP increased from around 60 to 150.

Wagner emphasized that the food pantry’s organizational efforts are separate from its fundraising activities through OCRN. “OAFP and OCRN are separate organizations, so the delay (on OCRN’s August permit- and fee-waiver request) wasn’t a factor in setting this town hall meeting,” Wagner said. “And that delay hasn’t delayed progress on the new building at all.”

Back to school time offers new beginnings at the library
T
New chapters come in a variety of forms at the library this season. We will of course be continuing our two regular book clubs for grownups. Great Beginnings book club happens the first Wednesday of each month at 10:30 a.m. and takes place at the Senior Center. Our Brown Bag book group meets on the third Wednesday in the Library’s Sue Ames Room. You’re welcome to bring your own lunch to the Brown Bag if you like; chocolate is provided. Each group explores a variety of genres and focuses on a book new to the club each month. Free and open to the public, we welcome you to stop in the library and check out a few new chapters with a book club. Sometimes the opportunity to explore a new chapter doesn’t come in the form of the written word. Oregon Public Library is delighted to be hosting “Storytellers and Their Traditions: Our Shared Humanity” on Tuesday, Sept. 19, from 6:30-7:30 p.m. with Hmong storyteller Mai Zong Vue. The oral storytelling traditions span many cultures, times and continents. Sharing stories is a way to bring people together. This event is geared to teens and adults and is made possible through a grant from the Beyond Page Endowment, the Madison Community Foundation and the National Endowment for the Humanities. Of course, there’s always
new learning happening at the library. In addition to our collections of books, DVDs, Maker Kits (STEM stuff), and more, your library card provides you with access to online resources that would normally cost you beaucoup bucks. Consider learning a new language this month with Mango Languages, research your family history with Ancestry.com (in library only), or do a little business research using A to Z Databases, Morningstar and Valuline. Finally, if you prefer the human touch for your new learning, Oregon Public Library also has a nice line-up this fall with featured speakers on topics ranging from the Horse-Human Connection (Karen Diegel) to A Gentle Talk about Alzheimer’s and Dementia (Michael Hecht). Also, keep an eye out for upcoming technology classes. Here’s something for nearly everyone: Trivia Night at the Firefly on Sept. 29, sponsored by the Friends of the Library, will cover every topic imaginable and be a great time. No matter your age or interests, back to school time at the library promises new beginnings, new chapters, lots of learning, and tons of fun – which is enough to get all of us excited about the fall.

he start of a new school year is always an exciting time – even for me, many years after finishing my formal education. It might be the fresh, crisp autumn air, or perhaps it’s the change in pace at the library from the all-day fun of the Summer Reading Program to the relative daytime hush and the wild after school rush. I think in my heart of hearts, though, the start of a fresh school year simply remains a time of new beginnings, new chapters, and new learning – even for those not sitting in a classroom. Speaking of new beginBush nings, we’re trying something new for the little ones: Mix it Up Fridays will start Sept. 15. Each Friday morning there will be a different activity for little ones, like art, dance parties, and STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics). These fun and creative sessions are a new take on storytime, are aimed at ages 2-6 (no registration required), and are great ways for caregiver(s) and child to explore together. For those of you who prefer a little nostalgia, no worries. We’ll still be enjoying traditional storytimes on Tuesdays and Wednesdays throughout the fall.

As time slips by, so do our knowledge and connections to the past. The job of the historian is to preserve enough of it all to make sense for future generations. Eeda Lumley wasn’t necessarily a historian when she saw the old blacksmith shop on Main Street being torn down one day back in 1987. But that sight – along with some helpful motherly advice – spurred her into action. Florice Paulson, on the other hand, was a historian, for years writing a column for the Observer called “Walk Back in Time,” which she later turned into a book. When a fledgling history group was in need of both space and materials, she graciously provided both. As the Oregon Area Historical Society celebrates its 30th anniversary Sunday with the unveiling of a history book and cemetery tour, Lumley and Paulson’s contributions to preserving the area’s history should be celebrated as well.
Taking action The society was founded in 1987 by the guidance, inspiration and willpower of Lumley, who was walking downtown one day and saw workers tearing down the old blacksmith shop on Main Street (site of the Pizza Pit restaurant). OAHS

Downtown scavenger hunt Saturday Downtown Oregon will be sprinkled with clues Saturday as part of the Autumnal Equinox scavenger hunt. The event, organized by the Oregon Area Wellness Coalition, will allow anyone interested to begin between 9 and 11 a.m. at the library. The hunt is expected to take about 30 minutes. Oregon Public Library youth services coordinator Kelly Allen said the hunt should be fun for all ages. “Hopefully it’ll get people familiar with some of Oregon and just be a fun, active thing to do on Saturday,” Allen said. “It’s just a nice walking around downtown, making you think about the different places.” Participants will have the option to use a free phone app, GooseChase, or paper. The hunt asks participants to find clues and either search for another or complete an activity based on what the clue says, with photos of their activities helping teams get more points on the app. The team that completes the hunt in the fastest time will be crowned the winner and get a certificate. Allen said she and Oregon Pool director Deb Bossingham came up with the clues and had plenty of “fun” while deciding where to send participants and what “little fact” or “clever way” they could move the hunt forward. No registration is required for the event. For more information, call 835-3656 or email orelib@oregonlibrary.org. – Scott Girard

Healthy: Schools can display plaques, banners Continued from page 1 Those schools — as well as Oregon High School — also placed in the HealthierUS School Challenge, out of 33 chosen nationwide, with all receiving “bronze” certification. The awards, announced Monday and sponsored by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, are given to schools for meeting or exceeding federal standards for school meals and snacks, offering breakfast daily, implementing wellness policies and providing students with at least 60 minutes of physical education per week and ensuring physical activity throughout the school day. The schools will each receive an award plaque and banner to display, as well as $500. The certifications are valid through April 2021. Last year, all six district schools received gold ratings at the Wisconsin School Health Awards, and OHS received a national bronze award from the Alliance for a Healthier Generation.

recreation director and district coordinator of advanced learning Amy Miller said the awards are a product of the district’s “whole child approach” to education. “Our Board of Education and our school administration know that healthy children are better learners, and we are committed to transforming our schools to support this vision,” she said in Approach an email to the Observer. comprehensive Miller said teams in Community education and each school have “led the
charge” in creating environments where “eating healthy and being active throughout the school day is common practice.” She also praised “active community members” who are “great role models to our students and are also incredibly supportive of the school district and our whole child vision.”

Sins that cry out to Heaven “Do not exploit the poor because they are poor and do not crush the needy in court, for the Lord will take up their case and will exact life for life.” —Proverbs 22:22-23 NIV There are sins that cry out to heaven for justice. The slaughter of Abel by his brother Cain is the primordial example. A premeditated murder of one’s brother certainly cries out for justice. The oppression of the Israelites in Egypt is another sin that cried to heaven, and throughout the Bible we see the oppression of the poor, of orphans and widows, and of refugees as sins that God is particularly inclined to avenge. The Book of Exodus makes this principle explicit: “Do not mistreat or oppress a foreigner, for you were foreigners in Egypt. Do not take advantage of the widow or the fatherless. If you do and they cry out to me, I will certainly hear their cry. My anger will be aroused, and I will kill you with the sword; your wives will become widows and your children fatherless.” (Exodus 22:21-24 NIV) This is a moral exhortation that is all too relevant today, when millions of refugees have no place to call home and widows and orphans are all around us. Ask yourself who in your community fits the bill of the widow, the orphan or the foreigner. We might call them by different names, i.e., single mothers, or undocumented immigrants, or the homeless and working poor, but these people are God’s children, and they have a special place in His heart. – Christopher Simon

Smithback, Giese named to ‘40 Under 40’ list On the Web
SAMANTHA CHRISTIAN Unified Newspaper Group
Read about all of the “40 Under 40” Oregon business profes- selections:
sionals Elyse Smithback and JJ Giese keep finding they have more and more in common. Both have three kids (including a set of twins), serve on the Oregon Area Chamber of Commerce board of directors and organize sporting events for Summer Fest. But it’s their commitment to their careers, civic involvement and close age that landed them on the 2017 “40 Under 40” list through Madison-based InBusiness Magazine earlier this year. Smithback and JJ Giese applied to be selected, and they found out at the end of December and were sworn to secrecy for two months before the magazine publicly made the announcement.
ibmadison.com/InBusiness-Madison/ March-2017/40-reasons-foroptimism/ “Nobody really likes to toot their own horn,” Giese said. “It’s a lot easier to give credit to a team … but they really try to get you to focus on what you have done yourself and what’s going to make you appealing as an individual to a committee.”
Smithback Smithback, 33, is the vice president of treasury management and private banking at Oregon Community Bank. The University of Wisconsin-Whitewater grad has
been in banking since 2000 and with OCB for three years, where she aspires to become the bank’s market president. “At the end of the day I just like to Smithback do whatever makes things easier in my clients’ lives,” she said. She is also the vice president of the chamber board and on the board of the After School Clubs, Inc., Oregon Community Resource Network and the Wisconsin Bankers Association retail banking section. The great schools and welcoming, “tight-knit community” drew Smithback and her husband to Oregon. And when she’s not working or with her family, she’s training for the Ironman in
September. In the future she sees herself working to help clients at OCB and “continuing to stay active and healthy.”
Giese Giese, who just turned 40 in June, has worked for four years at Thysse Printing Service, which he considers an “exceptional organizational.” He said his age was a bit of motivation, in addition to the business recognition, for him to apply Giese for this year’s award. He attended Madison College for printing in the 1990s and went back to get his associate’s degree in marketing in 2014. G i e s e a l s o s e r ve s a s the past president of the
chamber board and president-elect of the American Marketing Association-Madison chapter board. In both of those positions he gets to know “bright people … in different roles and connect with them.” He grew up in Union Center, a much smaller community than Oregon, but he said it still “feels like home” – especially with the familiar golf culture and Kwik Trip gas stations. His uncle Oscar used to be a postman in Oregon and his aunt Marcy was a teacher in the Oregon School District, so he would come here every year to visit for Thanksgiving. He hopes to continue working “as hard as I can” in various sales and marketing roles at Thysse “to make this place as outstanding as I know it can be.”

Q. My dog has been chewing at her feet a lot lately. I don't see anything on her skin. What could be causing this? A. Just like humans, pets may develop allergies during their lifetimes. While we tend to sneeze and have itchy eyes with seasonal allergies, dogs often develop itchy toes. They will chew at them and lick them, sometimes causing the hair to develop an orange or reddish tinge. There are some exciting new long acting allergy drugs available for dogs that work at the cellular level to quiet down their immune response to allergens. We are also able to test pets for allergies with a simple blood test that may identify specific triggers in your home. The days of relying only on steroids to quiet down itchy dogs has passed. Ask your veterinarian about new ways to make your itchy dog comfortable again.

Headed in the right direction Oregon’s conference win streak ends but bounce back Saturday
Player of the week From Sept. 5-12
ANTHONY IOZZO Assistant sports editor
Thursday’s 1-0 loss at Monona Grove was the Oregon High School boys soccer team’s first Badger South Conference since 2008, but it was apparent Saturday that the Panthers had already moved on. Oregon defeated nonconference McFarland 3-1 and the offensive attack was different from the start, coach Kevin May said. Against Monona Grove, the Panthers had seven shots on goal, mostly toward the end of the game. Against McFarland, Oregon had eight shots on goal in the first half and had four more shots on goal in the second half, not including a ball that hit the post. “It is how bad you want it, and we didn’t get that until late in the MG game,” May said. “In this game, we were hungry from start to finish, which is what we need and is the only way we are going to be able to win.” It took over 16 minutes to get the first goal, but the intensity was apparent from the start with chances by senior John Auer and junior Madison Conduah that were saved by McFarland senior goalie Justin Quist. Auer later found Conduah on another chance that was shot over the net in the 11th minute, but it wasn’t until 16:01 that Oregon finally got on the scoreboard. Conduah was able to battle for position in the middle of the penalty box to allow senior Kyle Rehrauer to battle for possession and get the ball to open junior Ian Moran at the top of the box. Moran blasted the ball past Quist for a 1-0 lead.

Senior quarterback Cedric Girard threw for 210 yards and four touchdowns Friday as Oregon held off the host Fort Atkinson Blackhawks 34-27. “We were moving the ball both running and passing and it became a matchup issue,” coach Dan Kissling said. “As the game moved on we knew we were a little better than the Fort defenders.” The Panthers (2-2 overall) improved to 1-1 in the Badger South with the victory with close to 400 yards of offense. “When we put Kardelle Phillips, Jahlil Turner, Brett

Donovan loss a close first set but rallied to beat Phoenix Novak in the next two sets for a 4-6, 6-0, 6-2 victory. The win was Donovan’s third straight via three sets. “I think I just need a set to warmup,” the 14-year-old said. “I’m really hard on myself. If I lost the first set, I have to win the second. And if I get to a third, I have to win it.” Over the summer, I did a lot of group lessons at Cherokee and in the winter as well.” Isabelle Krier beat Grace Var Dem Heavel 6-2, 6-3 at No. 2

Oregon medley relay beats Crusaders JEREMY JONES Sports editor
Oregon/Belleville girls swimming stayed right with the defending WIAA Division 2 state champion Madison Edgewood Crusaders through the first four events Tuesday. The Panthers were unable to keep pace with one of the top teams in the state coming off out of the break, however, as Edgewood swept the top three spots in the 100-meter freestyle and 400 free. Oregon’s 200 medley relay team of freshmen Zoe Rule and Mattea Thompson and seniors Ava Magee and Christofferson showed that the Panthers can compete with anyone, beating Edgewood by 12 seconds with a time of 2:12.41. “The girls knew they had to swim fast in a meet like this, and they stepped up to the

Rule also led a 2-3-4 finish by the Panthers in the 200 IM with a time of 2:44.6. Tuesday marked the first time Oregon did not have a relay DQ this season. “That’s an improvement from last week,” Keleny said.

The Oregon High School volleyball team had a tall order Thursday in a 3-2 (2125, 20-25, 25-21, 26-24, 6-15) loss against Stoughton in the Badger South Conference. Senior outside hitter Alyssa Milski tweaked her knee and is out a few weeks, and the host Panthers (10-4 overall, 1-2 conference) got their first taste of life without what coach Katie Heitz called the “heart and soul” of the team. “We definitely are excited to have her back and get her back in the rotation, but after tonight, we realized we could play without her if we need to, not that we want to,” Heitz said. After falling behind with losses in the first two sets, Oregon showed what it is capable of without Milski, with senior outside hitter Leah Rogers and junior outside hitter Bekken Pearson stepping up with kills. Rogers and Pearson each finished with 13 kills. Junior setter Erin Flanagan (33 assists) played a huge role by placing the ball for Rogers and Pearson, and junior libero Emily Konop (23 digs) protected the court on Stoughton’s kill attempts with some momentum-shifting digs. Pearson was playing middle before Milski’s injury but was shifted back to the outside, and junior middle blocker Sydona Roberts came off the bench to log significant minutes on the court. “We are a very, very deep team this year,” Heitz said. “It is not fun to have Alyssa out right now, but we kind of have the next-man-up-mentality.” Oregon ran out of gas a little bit in the fifth set as Stoughton jumped out to a 9-2 lead and closed out the match, 15-6. But the Panthers battled in the third and fourth sets. The Vikings led 19-16 in the third set before Oregon closed on a 9-2 run. Most of the points were on balls hit out or errors, but Rogers also added two kills on the run. Stoughton once again had a chance to close out the Panthers in the fourth set with a 23-21 lead, but Oregon closed on a 5-1 run with junior middle blocker Bekken Pearson getting a kill to finish the set with a 26-24 win. The defense was also key for the comeback. Wriedt had six blocks, and senior middle blocker Jenna Igl finished with four. “I am super proud of the girls,” Heitz said. “Any time you go down 0-2 and can at least bring it back to a fifth set, I think that is going to show you have the confidence to do it. They sometimes lack that confidence and belief in themselves, and so we have to call a timeout and instill in them that, ‘You can do it. You just have to go out there and make the plays.’” The first two sets belonged

Junior right-side hitter Erin Wriedt and Pearson combined for three kills to help the Panthers close the deficit to 19-17, but Stoughton (7-2, 1-2) played stingy defense and made point hard to come by. Stoughton junior libero Hannah Wirag had 31 digs, and junior setter Megan Adams had 28. “We just could not put the ball away,” Heitz said. “Hats off to them for a great defensive effort.”

Soccer: Oregon moves to 1-1 in Badger South Conference Continued from page 9 of the scoring for the Panthers, there were plenty of other chances that nearly went in. In the first half, Conduah beat the goalie on a one-one-one, but the ball was slowed enough that a defender was able to clear the ball away right before it crossed the goal line. Auer blasted the post in the 49th minute, and Conduah had a header that knocked Quist back a few steps, barely hanging on for the save in the 52nd minute. “I think we definitely brought it today,” May said. “The opportunities were solid, and we were able to finish, which was key.” Defensively, Oregon was going for a shutout and held McFarland to four shots on goal, just one in the first half. But once lapse in the 73rd minute ended the bid. The Spartans had a corner after pushing the ball down the left sideline and both teams battled for possession after a throw-in.

Oregon was 48-0-2 since the last loss in the conference, which include Badger South titles from 2009-2016, but it doesn’t mean that the season is lost. With so many new starters on the team, ups-and-downs were expected, and May said that what matters most is that
the team is getting better every game and playing their best soccer at the end of the season. “There are guys that haven’t played any varsity that are playing 80-85 minutes now,” May said. “They are still brand new to this varsity thing. The more we play and the more they get experience, the more the season will be solid. We are not worried. We are not concerned.” Sophomore Isaac Becker scored the lone goal for the Silver Eagles, and senior Henry Hill-Gorman had seven saves. Senior goalie Shane Sullivan had eight saves for the Panthers.
Oregon 8, Monroe 2 Oregon improved to 1-1 in the Badger South on Tuesday with an 8-2 win over Monroe. Conduah scored three goals and junior Zach Bennet scored a goal and added two assists.

Oregon History September
100 years ago (1917) • A warning to auto drivers from the village marshal, S. R. Therkelsen: “Driving in the village without the tail lamp lighted is contrary to state law. Failure to comply could result in you being fined and/or arrested.” • The first contingent of the “draft army” left for training at Camp Grant in Rockford, Ill. Oregon resident Axel Johnson was a part of this group. • The World War I “Pal Program” was described in The Oregon Observer as follows: “R. D. Ozburn is the first Pal to be chosen from Oregon and he appreciates the compliment thus paid him. The County Council of Defense has asked each soldier to choose a Pal at home who will look after his affairs and keep him in touch with the interesting happenings of the home town. Axel Johnson, the first conscripted soldier from Oregon to be called to training, has named Mr. Ozburn, who is much interested in the soldier boys and understands what will be of interest to communicate and will undoubtedly do his share to brighten the hours of the soldier who is giving himself to his country.” • Olson’s Opera House featured a free lecture by A. M. Sophore from Brooklyn, New York. The title of the lecture was “The World on Fire: Are We at the End of the World?” His subject matter was based on Biblical prophecy. • Geo.

Urban Johnson, Dane County Manager for W.P.& L., welcomed Bob at the district office in Oregon. • Ruth Ames Recognition Day was celebrated
Sept. 23, 1967. Ruth was honored for her 32 years of service to the Oregon Consolidated School District as a member and clerk of the school board. She had the honor of being escorted from her home on South Main Street to the new high school where over 200 attended a special reception luncheon celebrating her years of service. Atty. Lyall Beggs was toastmaster for the event. Speakers included Superintendent of Public Instruction William C. Kahl; Congressman, Robert Kastenmeier and State Senator, Carl Thomson.

Members of the building committee were Orrill Ferguson (chairperson), Mrs. Marvin Campbell, Maurice Nielson, Clinton Knutson and Vernon Mitchell. The landscaping was taken care of by Dr. Norris Breitbach, Clinton Knutson and Durlin Pawlisch. A service of dedication was read by Pastor Immanuel Peterson • The Oregon Home Bakery held an Open House. The bakery was now owned and operated by Merlyn Hanneman. His staff included Mrs. Merlyn Hanneman, Mrs. Anna Booth, and Mrs. Lucille Johnson. • The OHS football team won their first conference game with a victory over Waterloo, 32-6.

Parks: Subdivision adds 34 new residential lots to original 54 Continued from page 1 Kassander Way is under construction and will loop to the west off North Alpine Parkway. It’s been approved to have drainage swales instead of traditional curb and gutter, as well as sidewalk on both sides. The street would have an extrawide 66-foot right-of-way with a 2-foot “protective concrete ribbon.” Ladopoulos said he hopes
to be “lucky” and get the street paved by the end of the year, but that will depend on the weather. “We’re not real far along with it,” Ladopoulos said. “They’re grading, putting in detention ponds and underground sewer and water pipes.” T h e s u b d iv i s i o n ’s requirement to preserve at least 70 percent of the 401 existing trees (a total of 289) was initially part of the Capital Area Regional
Planning Commission’s demand before it approved the extension of utilities to the parcel in 2008. The village annexed the land in June 2007 and later adopted a tree preservation requirement in an ordinance. The subdivision is an addition to the original Oregon Parks development, which has 54 dwelling units. It will have 21 single-family and 13 duplex lots. Construction of homes in
the subdivision can’t begin until the village approves the street and infrastructure that’s being built by the developer’s contractors. The construction includes s a n i t a r y s ew e r s , s t o r m sewers, detention ponds, water mains and connection pipes, streetlights and signs, green ways, erosion controls and a bike path that will connect to an existing path built by the First Presbyterian Church to the south.
The developer will be required to provide the village with a letter of credit for one year following its approval of the utility work. Ladapoulos said he expects the lots to sell “fairly quickly, faster than average, because we’ve gotten a lot of phone calls since we put the sign up and people knew we were actually starting this.”
