Hitting home
Oregon feeling the pain of heroin/painkiller abuse
SETH JOVAAG
Observer correspondent
Nearly a year after she
found her sons body, Nan-
cy Meyer still has night-
mares.
Last May 18, C.J. Nor-
well overdosed inside his
Madison condo on a combi-
nation of prescription pain-
killers and muscle relax-
ants. He was 30.
Norwel l had l i ved i n
Oregon on and off between
1995 and 2010. During
that time, Meyer said, her
son struggled with men-
tal illness. Worse, he had
developed an addiction to
painkillers. By his 20s, he
would lie about being in car
accidents to get doctors in
different cities to prescribe
hi m more. He grew so
homebound and apathetic
about life that a doctors
appointment shortly before
his death revealed arter-
ies that were 80 percent
blocked.
He was a couch potato
in his last years, said Mey-
er, who moved to Fitchburg
in 2012. It was frighten-
ing. He wasnt taking care
of himself. Once that addic-
tion took place, there is
nothing he wouldnt do to
get those pills.
Nor wel l s deat h was
another statistic in a trend
of rising opiate abuse that
has alarmed area health and
law enforcement officials
for years.
In 2006, there were 123
hospitalizations in Dane
County from heroin or pre-
scription opiate overdoses,
according to data from the
department of Public Health
for Madi son and Dane
Count y ( PHMDC) . By
2012, there were 300, a 144
percent increase. In 2003,
19 people died from over-
doses. That figure peaked
at 61 in 2011 before falling
slightly to 49 in 2012.
Similar trends exist state-
wide, as opiate overdoses
tripled between 2002 and
2012, from 824 to 2,457.
And those stats might
just be the tip of the ice-
berg, said Lisa Bullard
Cawthorne, a health educa-
tor with PHMDC, as many
overdose victims who dont
die or get hospitalized go
unreported.
Much of the attention in
Dane County and the state
lately has focused on hero-
in, which about five or six
years ago began to resur-
face as a cheaper alterna-
tive to painkillers for opiate
addicts. But opiate-based
prescri pt i on pai nki l l ers
such as Vicodin or Oxy-
contin - havent gone away,
either. They still account
for nearly two-thirds of
Dane Countys overdoses,
Bullard-Cawthorne notes,

C.J. Norwell, 30, died last May inside his Madison condo on a combination of prescription painkillers and muscle relaxants. He was 30.
Above is part of the memorial service at his funeral at Peoples Methodist Church. Norwell had lived in Oregon on and off between 1995
and 2010. Below are C.J. with his brother Will Norwell and Brittany Norwell, who live in Oregon, during Christmas 2011.

board seats
SCOTT DE LARUELLE
Unied Newspaper Group
Its been rare recently
for Oregon School Board
races to be so hotly con-
tested, but this year theres
been no lack of candidates,
thanks to some differences
in opinions about relations
between district officials
and teachers.
Six people will vie for
three seats on April 1, fol-
lowing a three-person pri-
mary that eliminated one
contender Feb. 18.
In Area II, represent-
ing the City of Fitchburg,

Court ney Odori co wi l l

In Area III, cover-
ing the towns of Dunn,
Bl oomi ng Gr ove and

Candidates differ on
chamber, bike trail
BILL LIVICK
The differences of opin-
ion were not vast between
four candidates vying for
three at-large seats on the
Oregon Vi l l age Board
when they spoke last week
at a public forum spon-
sored by the Oregon Area
Chamber of Commerce.
There was some dis-
agreement over whether
the village should pave
the proposed Oregon Bike
Trail, as well as to what
extent the village budget
should support the cham-
ber financially.
Chamber president Jim
Murphy moderated the
event, which was held last
Thursday at the State Bank
of Cross Plains-Oregon.

Spring election
School Board, Village Board highlight ballots
MARK IGNATOWSKI
As voters head to the
polls April 1 to cast ballots,
theyll be doing so on new
election machines.
Oregon School District
voters will be voting in the
Oregon School Board elec-
tion where Charles Uphoff
is challenging incumbent
board president Courtney
Odorico for Area II. Lee
J. Christensen is taking on
Barbara Feeney for Seat
III. Wayne Mixdorf faces
Gwen Maitzen for Seat IV.
Voters are asked to cast one
vote for each seat.
Village of Oregon voters
will also be choosing from
four candidates for three
seats on the Oregon Village
Board. The top three vote-
getters among the four can-
didates Doug Brethauer,
Jeff Boudreau, incumbent
Phil Harms and incumbent
Jerry Bollig will win two-
year seats on the board.
Village of Brooklyn trust-
ee Susan McCallum is up
for reelection, and newcom-
er Zachary Leavy also filed
papers to run for a seat,
while Patricia Hawkey filed
Monday night to run as a
write-in candidate. That
leaves three candidates for
three open seats.
Each will serve a two-
year term if elected, though
there is controversy sur-
rounding McCallum as the
village board has recently
discussed removing her
due to what they deemed
i nappropri at e behavi or.
While she admits to raising
her voice in a closed ses-
sion, she told the Oregon
Observer it was due to false
statements being made by
others at the time.
The board has to wait for
a citizen complaint to begin
the process, and after get-
ting advice from a lawyer at
its March meeting, decided it
would be best to proceed in
the process after the election.
In the Town of Oregon,
i ncumbent s St eve Root
and Phil Van Kampen are
both running for reelection
unopposed. They will serve
a two-year term.
Town of Rutland vot-
ers will pick two of the fol-
lowing three candidates
for town supervisor: Alvin
Mikkelson, Jim Lunde and
Jeanette Walker. Lunde and
Walker are both incumbents.
Town of Dunn voters
have no municipal officials
up for election this spring,
but will be able to vote for
school board seats.
All Dane County Board
supervisors in the area are
running unopposed. Dist. 31
supervisor Jerry Bollig, Dist.
33 supervisor Jenny Dye,
Dist. 34 supervisor Patrick
Miles and Dist. 37 supervisor
Bob Salov are all incumbents
who have no challengers.
The Village of Oregon
has three polling locations
(see breakout). All polling
locations open at 7 a.m. and
close at 8 p.m. Voter infor-
mation including sample
ballots, polling locations
and other information can
be found online at myvote.
wi.gov.
New machines
Voters will be using new
ballots in Dane County
starting with this election.
Gone are the days of con-
necting two lines to choose
your candidates. Voters will
now fill in an oval next to the
candidate of their choosing.
The new ballots will be
collected by a new vot-
i ng machi ne. Accor d-
i ng t o a news r el ease
from Dane County Clerk
Scott McDonell, the new
machines will count and
save a photo of the ballot.
The anonymous photo will
be used in case of a recount.
The vote tabulators will
also let voters know imme-
diately if their ballot is valid.
That validation process
will take a few seconds,
McDonell said. Its impor-
tant that people wait just a
few seconds after inserting
their ballot to make sure its
been accepted. If you acci-
dentally overvote or some-
thing else goes wrong, itll
tell you that right away. We
just really want people to
know they need to give it
that extra few seconds.
Judicial races
The April 1 ballot will
also have some county and
statewide judicial seats up
for election, though none
of them have any registered
challengers.
Gary E. Sherman is seek-
ing his seat again as the
Dist. 4 Court of Appeals
judge.
John W. Markson is run-
ning for Dane County Cir-
cuit Court judge in Branch 1
while William E. Hanrahan
is seeking a seat in Branch
7. Both are incumbents.
County referendums
Dane County residents
will also be asked to weigh
in on two countywide ref-
erendums about legalizing
marijuana and changing the
way the state draws redis-
tricting maps.
The first question asks,
Shoul d t he Wi sconsi n
Constitution be amended to
require a nonpartisan sys-
tem for redistricting legisla-
tive and congressional dis-
tricts in the state?
The second quest i on
is, Should the state gov-
ernment enact legislation
legalizing marijuana?
Voters will choose yes
or no for each question.

Straight from the horses mouth
regarding the Rutland radio tower
In response to Mr. Lueders
article (Locals losing their tower
power, March 13), my broth-
er, David Soldwedel, and I own
Stoughton Farms. Weve been
farming in Rutland since 1960.
We no longer raise livestock but
continue to farm the tillable acres.
Weve always been good stew-
ards of the land, good neighbors
and positively engaged in Rutland
Township.
I n e a r l y 2010, we we r e
approached by Dave Magnum.
After several months of reviewing
his tower project and the related
Rutland and Dane County ordi-
nances, we agreed to sell him land
behind a 60 acre field adjacent to
a quarry and CRP acres.
Clearly, towers are lawful; Rut-
land has three all closer to roads
and environmental areas than
Magnums would be. Dane Coun-
tys consulting engineer wrote
that this tower is in the public
interest.
As for lights, a Rutland resi-
dent said during a town meeting
he can see seven lighted towers
from Rutland and didnt want to
see another. He didnt realize he
made the point that lighted towers
arent a new concept. Five towers
between 400-500 feet are in the
region just south of Madison. My
understanding is that land owners
still have property rights. Theres
much my brother and I like about
using this site for a tower.
Of the 15. 5 acres Magnum
would buy, 8.8 are fallow. Of the
6.7 thats tillable, the skinny tow-
er (only 48 inches wide), transmit-
ter shed and anchors take up just
.04 percent of the tillable land.
No trees would need to be
removed and the land would
remain mostly in its natural state,
in essence, a permanent green
space. UW-Madison endured
a similar ordeal before building
their WSUM radio tower.
Dane County Executive, Joe
Parisi, stated he wants to cre-
ate green jobs. Whats more
green than a tower for a radio
station? No smoke comes out;
you apply electricity to it and cre-
ate jobs. Businesses will sponsor
radio coverage of high school ath-
letics.
As for Ms. Polakowski, a Madi-
son lawyer and Rutland resident,
prior to buying the 50 acres to
build her home, she and her hus-
band resided approximately two
miles further east of their present
residence.
Before closing on her proper-
ty, Magnum could be seen driv-
ing Rutland roads in a van dis-
playing large station logos. He
talked with many land owners,
the Town Clerk (one of the three
Rutland towers is on her farm
land and neighbors also battled
her), walked our land with Town
Chairman Dale Beske, and even
appeared before the Rutland Plan-
ning Commission.
Lastly, before the County Board
even voted on the original tow-
er application, Ms. Polakowski
started building her house. Appar-
ently, like all the people who built
houses next to the two WIBA tow-
ers on Fish Hatchery Road, she
realized a tower isnt a reason not
to build.

No matter your choice, go out and vote April 1
As I have no doubt you have
noticed, there will be elections in
Oregon on April 1.
There are more candidates for
both School Board and Village
Board than there are seats. I com-
mend all of these people for their
dedication to the causes and parts
of Oregon they so strongly sup-
port. Have you ever asked your-
self if YOU would ever make
their commitment?
Oregon is great village to be in.
I have recognized that I will not
be likely to be leaving it anytime
soon, if ever. We all want to keep
it that way and we all have those
opportunities.
Some of us will volunteer for
some organization, or an event,
or at the schools, the library, the
senior center. Some of us will run
for an office of one kind or anoth-
er in the village, or in one of the
numerous organizations around
us (sports, philanthropic, social).
Some of us will do nothing more
than vote. All of those actions are
important.
I have made my decisions
based on my experience and on
doing some research and reading
information in various sources. I
urge each and every one of you to
do the same and then to get to the
polls on April 1 and vote.
So many of our neighbors are
putting so much effort into get-
ting their ideas and messages
out to us. They are passionate
about the roles they are hoping
to play in shaping our village. I
do believe those that do not win
seats on their respective boards
will still contribute to the causes
they see as so vital.
We owe it to them, to our kids
and to our village to vote on April
1.

Dog owners need to scoop the poop in Town of Oregon
I just returned from a walk in
our Town of Oregon park and
was appalled to count 34 piles of
dog feces either in the middle of
the path or alongside it.
The park ordinance states to
have your dog on a leash, but it
doesnt state anything about pick-
ing up your dogs poop. Wonder
if we need to fix that?
Before you start thinking Im
a dog hating, city-girl wanting to
enjoy a sterile park think again!
I have not drawn a breath on this
earth without being a dog and cat
owner. Ive lived in the country-
side of Wisconsin most of my 53
years, save a few years in my 20s.
Ive lived in the town of Ore-
gon 24 years. I helped build that
park alongside my neighbors
and children. Ive been walking
those paths since they have been
open to the public and have loved
it. Ive also raised farm animals
so I am more than comfortable
with animal feces, it just needs
to be picked up and disposed of
properly.
Now, on my walks there, Ive
seen the occasional missed pile of
doo-doo, but 34!? That seems to
me like willful ignorance and/or
laziness. Even if there is not an
ordinance, a responsible, knowl-
edgeable dog-owner will pick up
their dogs feces when in a public
park.
If we need a new town ordi-
nance instructing people to clean
up after their pets, lets do it.
In the meantime, fellow dog-
owners, please be responsible
and courteous to others trying to
enjoy the park.

On Saturday, March 15, St
Johns Lutheran Church hosted a
blood drive.
We had an unexpected surprise.
Shortly after opening, nine stu-
dents from the Chochrane Foun-
tain City High School walked
in. Four of the students donated
blood.
The students were in Madison
for the Boys Basketball tourna-
ment and they missed the blood
drive at their school. They went
online and found us.
We feel these young adults
should be commended for their
dedication to take time out of a
busy weekend to help save lives.

Pump house restoration fundraiser is Sunday
Oregon resident Randy
Glysch has organized a pump
house restoration fundraiser
at Masons on Main from 1-4
p.m. Sunday, March 30.
Glysch is leading an effort
to raise $40,000 and restore
the pump house on Janesville
Street in downtown Oregon.
The structure was built in
the late 1890s and is on the
National Register of Historic
Places. It has been unused for
anything but storage for the
past few decades and is in a
state of disrepair.
Glysch plans to replace
windows and the small build-
ings front door. The structure
also needs new tuckpointing.
He also has a plan in place
to improve the pump house
grounds.
He established the Friends
of the Historic Oregon Water
Tower last fall and is accepting
tax-deductible donations for
the project through the village.
Donations can be sent to Ore-
gon Village Hall, 117 Spring
St., and will be maintained in
the Preserve the Water Tower
fund.
Glysch has mailed out let-
ters seeking donations, written
and submitted grant applica-
tions and personally called on
area businesses to help with
the project. Hes hoping the
fundraiser on Sunday will
bring in cash donations and
help nudge the fundraising
closer to the $40,000 goal.
If every resident of the vil-
lage would donate $4.33, wed
meet our goal, he said. The
biggest thing we need is dona-
tions so we can get started on
the project. This is how resi-
dents can help.

Brooklyn residents honored
for service to county
Brooklyn residents Janeen
Riese and Roland Arndt
have been awarded for their
25 years of service to Dane
County.
Riese and Arndt received
a plaque of appreciation and
official recognition from
County Executive Joe Parisi
and the County Board Chair.
The countys dedicated
public servants have my
deepest thanks for the work
they do every
day for Dane County,
Parisi said in a news release.
Their work supports and
strengthens families, protects
our residents from harm, and
helps keep our roads and
communities safe every day
of the year.
Riese and Arndt are among
the 41 county employees that
received recognition for their
service this year.
Volunteer honor for OHS senior
Lauded for work
with Three Gaits
Or egon Hi gh School
senior Jenna Ainsworth
received the Prudential Pres-
idents Volunteer Service
Award for her exemplary
volunteer service in high
school.
The award recognizes
Americans who have volun-
teered significant amounts
of time to serve their com-
munities and country. It
was granted by The Pruden-
tial Spirit of Community
Awards program on behalf
of President Barack Obama.
Ainsworth was nominated
by Oregon High School for
national honors this fall in
recognition of her volunteer
service.
Since her freshman year,
she has volunteered at the
Three Gaits Therapeutic
Horsemanship Center, a
program that provides effec-
tive therapy for children and
adults with disabilities and
special needs. Ainsworth
grooms and tacks horses to
prepare them for the upcom-
ing classes in session, and
accompanies riders to ensure
they are keeping proper body
position.
Its important to give
back to the community you
live in because it makes the
community better and stron-
ger, she said.
OHS pri nci pal Kel l y
Meyers said Ainsworth is a
wonderful role model who
has embraced giving to oth-
ers.
(Shes) willingly dedi-
cated herself to making
days brighter for those that
come to Three Gaits, Mey-
ers said. Its amazing to
continuously hear about our
young folks understanding
the importance and reward of
dedicating their time, interest
and expertise through com-
munity service.

Hearts and Minds
A good heart is vastly superior to a powerful intellect, since
a powerful intellect wedded to an evil or callous heart is sure
to cause lots of suffering. It would be best to have a good
heart wedded to a powerful intellect, but what matters in
most cases is the disposition of ones heart, i.e., whether
one is inclined to help ones fellows. What usually inclines
us to help our fellow creatures and to alleviate their suffering
is empathy, and its ability to help us to feel, or at least imag-
ine, what our fellow creatures might be experiencing. But,
there are times when empathy can lead us astray and we
need our intellect to help us in determining what we ought
to do. Most of us are more moved to action by the plight of
some individual we can identify with, the guy on the side of
the road trying to change his tire, or the single mother try-
ing to raise money to pay for her sick childs medical care.
But, when it comes to helping people halfway around the
world, refugees from Syria or starving people in Africa, our
empathy often fails to be engaged, and there we may need
to appeal to reason. God gave us hearts and minds, and we
should use them both.
Christopher Simon via Metro News Service

From Bonnets to Hats
Bonnets used to be fashionable
headwear for women. By the 1920s,
though, no modern woman would be

bonnet instead of a stylish hat. Leslie

tiles at the Wisconsin Historical Soci-
ety, will explore the reasons for this
change from bonnets to hats, while
also looking at stylistic changes over
time at 10:45 a.m. Wednesday, April
2 at the senior center.

Jeff Boudreau and Doug
Br et hauer , each del i v-
ered an opening statement,
answered four questions
posed by Murphy, and gave
a closing statement.
Bol l i g has served 12
years on Village Board and
said he was seeking anoth-
er two-year term because
hes retired and has time
to return something to the
community in which hes
lived most of his life. He
described himself as politi-
cally neutral, nonpartisan
and independent. Bollig is
also a member of the Dane
County Board of Supervi-
sors.
Boudreau works as a
bank manager in McFar-
land and has lived in the
village for nine years. The
former U.S. Marine said he
is running for a seat on the
board because he realized
I would have to stop talk-
ing about things that both-
ered me and step up and get
involved. Hes interested
in preserving Oregons past
while preparing it for the
future, he said, by building
strong relationships with
community stakeholders.
Bret hauer, an Oregon
area resident of about 20
years, has served as an
alternate on the village
Planning Commission for
the past four years. He said
after knocking on doors
and talking with residents,
hes convinced that most
are satisfied with the way
the village is being run.
He ment i oned devel op-
ing affordable housing and
maintaining the villages
i nf r ast r uct ur e as chi ef
among his concerns and
keys to his bid for a seat on
the board.
Harms, owner of Advan-
t age Bui l ders based i n
downt own Oregon, has
served on Village Board
for eight years. He touted
the fact that he owns a busi-
ness, created his own clien-
tele and is a former Cham-
ber of Commerce president.
Harms said as a village
trustee, he is concerned
about the salaries paid to
village officials.
His focus is, What do
we base the payroll on, and
can we afford to continue to
pay what were paying?
Questions and
responses
1. The Village of Oregon
currently includes the
Chamber of Commerce in
the annual village budget.
Would you support the
funding of the chamber by
the village?
Al l t h e c a n d i d a t e s
expressed support for the
current level of funding,
which includes $3,000 in
financing, $1,500 in adver-
t i si ng support and free
offi ce space i n Vi l l age
Hall. But they had slightly
differing views on wheth-
er that support should be
increased.
Boudreau said while hes
not sure how much finan-
cial support the village can
afford, the strength of the
village is directly tied to the
strength of the chamber. I
favor doing as much as we
can.
Brethauer gave unequivo-
cal support for including
the chamber in the village
budget. He said its simi-
lar to supporting the senior
center.
I think its reasonable
that an organization like
the chamber receives public
funds, he said.
Harms noted the ques-
tion did not include a dollar
amount. He said he supports
the funding already provid-
ed, which he characterized
as minimal, but thinks
further taxpayer funding
should be considered on a
case-by-case basis.
Bol l i g descr i bed t he
chamber as our first point
of contact for new busi-
ness and called the organi-
zation a job creator.
Yes, he sai d, i t s
important to fund the cham-
ber.
2. Bids for asphalt came
in very good for the first
segment of the bike trail.
If bids come in just as
good for the final two seg-
ments, would you support
paving the trail as it is
completed?
Bollig said whether to
support paving the entire
trail would depend on a
financial analysis of situ-
ation. He pointed out that
the village will have to
borrow money to build the
trail, and paving it would
increase costs.
We have to be care-
ful that we dont spike the
property tax rate by getting
our debt too high, he said.
I would put the whole trail
in as gravel and then try to
get it asphalted through
fundraising, grants or pos-
sibly by finding a corporate
sponsor.
Boudreau said the mil-
lennials people who
reached young adulthood
around the year 2000 are
looking for a place to live
and work and recreate
and bike trails are important
to them.
He thinks investing in
the trail by paving it would
make economic sense as
an incentive to bring more
families to the village, and
he would support paving it
as far out as we can.
Brethauer recognized the
bike trail as an attractive
amenity, but said wed
have to look at the larger
picture the village budget
to see if we can afford to
do it all at one time.
Harms said when Vil-
lage President Steve Staton
proposed the idea of the
trail, it was presented as a
gravel trail all the way out
to Fish Hatchery Road.
He noted that the board
recently voted to proceed
with a crushed limestone
surface, despite construc-
tion bids coming in lower
t han expect ed, because
Dane Count y of f i ci al s
said if the first segment of
the trail were paved, they
would require the entire
trail to be paved in order for
the village to receive coun-
ty funding.
Harms said for the time
being, the trail should have
a limestone surface and
possibly be paved some-
time in the future.
3. Other than finances
and street repair (i.e.
county roads), what is the
most pressing issue facing
the village in the next two
years?
Brethauer said his chief
concern is how the vil-
lage deals with long-term
environmental and social
issues. His focus would be
on affordable housing, cre-
ating a sustainable local
economy and infrastructure.
He thinks the village is well
managed.
Harms said the village
should work with Fitchburg
to activate the rail line lead-
ing to the Alpine Business
Park. Accomplishing that
would open more oppor-
tunities for us to grow the
community, he said.
Bollig said the finan-
cial health of the village
is the most pressing issue.
He thinks its important to
adopt responsible bud-
gets that spend within the
existing revenues. Thats
a challenge that requires
good financial planning at a
time when revenues are flat
but costs are increasing, he
said.
Boudreau thinks village
officials need to encourage
homeownership by attract-
ing businesses that pay
well to the Alpine Business
Park.
In my line of work, we
say that youre either green
and growing or red and ripe
Id like to think Oregon is
the former, he said.
He added t hat bri ng-
ing more businesses like
Thysse Pri nt i ng woul d
stimulate homeownership
out in the Bergamont.
4. What needs to hap-
pen to bring more busi-
ness to Oregon?
Harms said real estate
prices are too high in Ore-
gon. He noted he looked
to buy a single lot earlier
this year and the price was
$99,000.
I t hi nk we need t o
encourage more develop-
ment but at affordable pric-
es, he said.
Bollig said the first step
to bringing more business-
es here is in taking care of
the existing business base
by reacting to issues.
As an example, he cited
the Village Boards deci-
sion to invest in improving
the Jefferson Street parking
lot last year. He also thinks
the village should use tax
incremental financing to
attract and encourage busi-
ness growth.
Business is the engine
that drives the local econo-
my, he said.
Boudreau stressed the
importance of learning and
borrowing best practices
from other communities
that have had good business
growth. He used Sun Prairie
as an example. He said the
crux of that success is a
strong partnership between
the chamber and the village
administration.
Brethauer thinks the vil-
lage should encourage
the development of multi-
family housing within the
village not only in the
Bergamont, but also in the
downtown area as well.
He also supports further
development of the busi-
ness park and noted that
with Lycon and Trachte
already there, the village
shoul d consi der brand-
ing its business park as a
construction-business niche
market.
Questions
1. The Village of Oregon currently includes the Chamber of Commerce in the annual vil-
lage budget. Would you support the funding of the chamber by the village?
2. Bids for asphalt came in very good for the first segment of the bike trail. If bids come
in just as good for the final two segments, would you support paving the trail as it is
completed?
3. Other than finances and street repair (i.e. county roads), what is the most pressing
issue facing the village in the next two years?
4. What needs to happen to bring more business to Oregon?
Forum: Questions cover Chamber budget, bike trail, business

CERTIFIED
CONTRACTOR
after the two emerged from
a primary that eliminated
candidate Justin Zander,
who has endorsed Maitzen.
The elections could be
particularly important for
the district, with a possible
referendum looming in fall.
The last referendum in Feb-
ruary 2012 failed.
Yet, the districts finan-
cial future and referendum
priorities have taken a back
seat to disagreement over
the boards recent relatio-
nahsip with teachers, par-
ticularly the controversy
over Just Cause language
removed from the employee
handbook and later restored
in part by the school board.
In a candidate forum ear-
lier this month, the three
challengers didnt have much
quarrel with the boards han-
dling of budget issues com-
monly a point of difference
in elections and in some
cases praised the boards
work. But significant dif-
ferences remain in opinions
over how the board and dis-
trict administrators have
worked with teachers in the
wake of the states Act 10
legislation three years ago.
School board terms are
three years in length.
The Or egon Educa-
tion Association (OEA),
which represents more than
270 district teachers, has
endorsed Maitzen, Uphoff
and Feeney.
Area II
Odorico, who has served
on the board since 2005 and
has been president the past
two years, said she would
not revisit Just Cause, cit-
ing the boards recent 6-1
vote on the matter.
Changes were made
after significant input from
educators and the public
and much consideration
from the board over the past
two years, she said. The
handbook is always open to
review and revision.
At last months candidate
forum, Odorico said based
on her conversations with
them, teachers in the district
feel really supported right
now.
We need to continue
to look forward, let teach-
ers know we respect them,
she said. My experience is
we have very good relation-
ship between teachers and
administrators.
Uphoff, who served on the
board form 1993-02, said he
was prompted to run again
because of a disconnect
between the board and staff.
At the candidate forum,
he singled out the recently
adopted Just Cause language
as a little bit disturbing.
How can you set the bar
any lower? he said. What
kind of message does that
send to staff? It really puts
the burden on employees to
demonstrate Just Cause was
not followed, instead of the
other way around.
Uphoff said the incident is
one example poor communi-
cation between school board
members and staff.
The things in most in
need of repair in the district
arent the buildings, he
said. Respect doesnt cost
a dime.
Area III
Chri st ensen, who has
served on the board since
2011, noted that the Just
Cause language in the hand-
book was approved by a
6-1 vote by the board and
included input from teach-
ers and all stakeholders.
He said the document is
always fluid, though he
would not want to revisit the
matter.
At the candidate forum,
he disagreed that repairs to
the relationship between
the board and teachers are
needed, citing a pretty sta-
tistically sound survey that
recently placed the boards
approval rating as 85 per-
cent on its communication
with district stakeholders.
I think the norm for a
school district is somewhere
around a 40 percent approv-
al rating, Christensen said.
While we can always get
better at communication, I
feel were fairly strong at it,
and well continue to look
for ways to improve that.
Feeney said she is increas-
ingly concerned about the
direction of the district when
it comes to the relation-
ship between the board and
teachers.
Re l a t i o n s h i p s a r e
strained, she said. Com-
munications have not been
what they should or could
be, and some decisions of
the board reflect that they
are operating in a bubble.
Feeney called the boards
handling of the Just Cause
i ssue as unnecessari l y
divisive, and said a better
approach would have been
to establish a special com-
mittee including community
members, employees, board
members and administrators
to find a solution.
Thi s c ol l a bor a t i ve
a ppr oa c h c oul d ha ve
addressed all stakeholder
concerns and built a founda-
tion for further cooperative
efforts, she said.
Area IV
Mixdorf, who has served
on the board since 2011,
said at the candidate forum
the board spent a lot of
time and effort writing the
handbooks Just Cause lan-
guage similar to that of the
recent collective bargaining
agreement, and said he did
not want to take it up again.
We need to move for-
ward, he said.
He said the board has
done an excellent job
managing taxpayer money
in the past three years by
freezing the levy while rais-
ing teachers base salary and
maintaining the highest pos-
sible bond rating.
Maitzen, a former district
art teacher, said shes con-
cerned how teachers are
treated and respected.
They are the keystone to
education, she said. With-
out excellent staff, we will
have trouble fulfilling those
needs for the students.
Maitzen said the board
needs to re-evaluate the
Just Cause language.
The burden of proof
should fall on administra-
tors, she said. Talk to
teachers a lot of teachers
are not happy.
OSD: Candidates differ on teacher relations, need to revisit Just Cause standard

Senior forward Maddy Gits and
junior point guard Kelsey Jahn led
five selections on the All-Badger
South Conference list for the Oregon
girls basketball team this season.
Gits, a unanimous selection, and
Jahn both were voted onto the first

Gits, who was a first-team selec-
tion all four years, finished with 20.3
points per game for a total of 457
and shot 54 percent from the field.
She also collected 8.1 rebounds per
game and 20 blocks and shot 70 per-

Boys sprint to third place at invitational
JEREMY JONES
Sports editor
Despite being shorthanded at Saturdays
Tri-State Invitational, the Oregon boys track
and field team looked unphased.
While head coach Ned Lease said a full-
strength Panthers team could very well have
won the meet, the squad settled for a third-
place finish to start spring break.
Oregons 4x200 quartet of sophomores
Lucas Knipfer and Lukas Mathews, junior
Brennen Deegan and senior Jawon Turner
raced to first place in 1 minute, 38.9 seconds.
The Panthers went on to finish third over-
all, behind Sun Prairie (102) and Davenport
West (87) with 85 points.
New to track and field this season,
Mathews (24.65), sophomore Matthew Yates
and senior Lance Peterson helped Oregon
place three runners in the top five of the
200-meter run inside UW-Plattevilles Wil-
liams Fieldhouse.
Mathews led the way finishing runner-up
to Mount Horeb senior Juan Aguilar, while
Yates and Peterson finished fourth and fifth.
Peterson (6.94) and Yates added a third-
and eighth-place finish in the 55 dash, while
Mathews went on to post a third-place finish
in the high jump with a clearance of 5-6.
The Panthers were even stronger in the
1600 where junior Joshua Christensen
(4:57.82) finished second to River Valley
senior Alec Bass. Sophomore Chris Cutter
and Ben Vogt placed third and fourth, respec-
tively.
Christensen (10:53.95) and Vogt went on
to add a fourth and fifth-place finish in the
3200.
The 4x400 relay of Cutter, Deegan, Jonas
Temte and Nick Kaputsa posted a 3:53.4 to
finish fourth.
Senior jumper Jawon Turner leapt 39-7 1/4
to win the triple jump and 18-6 1/2 for fifth
place in the long jump.

Lacrosse
coach Corey Sielaff said.
Jahn scored 7 points per
game for a total of 161 and
shot 70 percent from the
free-throw line. Despite
not having huge numbers,
Jahn was recognized for
her work controlling the
offense and doing the little
things, Sielaff said.
We r e a l l y mi s s e d
Jahns l eadershi p when
she was not on the floor,
and she really controlled
the game. For her to get
that honor was pretty awe-
some, Sielaff said.
Senior forward Hannah
Kane, junior forward Riley
Rosemeyer and sophomore
guar d Cassi dy Ni kol ai
joined Gits and Jahn on the
list as honorable mentions.
The five selections tied
Oregon for the most with
Stoughton and Madison
Edgewood.
Sielaff said it shows the
hard work the team put in,
finishing 16-8 overall and
8-4 in the Badger South.
But she said she did see
Rosemeyer as someone
with a chance for the first
team this year.
Rosemeyer finished with
8.2 points, 7.3 rebounds
and 2.1 steals per game,
a nd s he c ol l e c t e d 16
blocks. It was rare to not
see a game where Rose-
meyer wasnt battling for
a loose ball, falling to the
ground and getting stepped
on and jumping right back
up t o somehow get t he
rebound.
But Sielaff said that the
Badger South had so much
talent that it was hard to
choose this year.
Rosemeyer got votes
from a couple of coaches.
She wasnt overshadowed
by anyone, Sielaff said.
This coming year, I think
that teams will finally give
her the credit that she is
due because t hey dont

Track: Panthers open season on high note
Lacrosse Club receives $1,000 for new scoreboard
ANTHONY IOZZO
The Oregon Lacrosse
Club received a check for
$1, 000 from the Madi-
son Area Sports Commis-
sion to help pay for a new
scoreboard for both boys
and girls high school and
youth games on March 10.
T h e c l u b p u t a n
application in for the funds
back in January, and it was
one of several area pro-
grams that received the
grant money.
Cl ub t r easur er Lyl e
David said that the plan for
the scoreboard came about
due to the quick growth the
club has had in its three-
year existence. The club
started out with a high
school team with about
30 girls, and it has since
grown to approximately
140 players with a boys
and girls high school team,
a girls youth team and
three boys youth teams.
It is really nice that we
can do a professional job at
the field so the players and
the fans can see what the
score is, he said.

and three-quarters of opiate
users recovering or current
say their addiction started
with prescription pain meds.
Wasnt on the radar
In Oregon, local officials
stop short of saying heroin
and other opiates are rampant.
But police and fire personnel
say an uptick in overdoses
in recent years has remained
steady.
Police and EMS officials
here dont track heroin- or
opiate-specific data. But
between 2007 and 2011, there
were 36 hospitalizations in
Oregons 53575 zip code for
drug overdoses, according
to PHMDC. Thats about an
average rate for communities
surrounding Madison.
Local ambulances in 2004
started carrying Narcan, a
drug used to counteract over-
doses from heroin or other
opiates, said Oregon Area
Fire/EMS District Capt. Tony
Antoniewicz. But local EMTs
rarely, if ever, needed it for
the first few years. Last year,
first responders administered
Narcan twice. The depart-
ment doesnt have data for
previous years, but Antonie-
wicz said overdose calls are
much less rare than they used
to be.
Oregon police note simi-
lar signs. As the evidence
room manager for the Ore-
gon Police Department, Lt.
Karey Clark said he noticed
a change a few years ago.
He estimates police by 2011
were confiscating four times
as much heroin paraphernalia
needles, cookers, tie-offs
than marijuana paraphernalia.
By mid-2013, there was a
lull in heroin-related confis-
cations hes not sure why
but it has picked up again
lately, he said.
People we are arresting
saying its getting bad again,
Clark said. Were seeing it
from all demographics, too.
Ten years ago it wasnt even
on the radar.
Police dont often confis-
cate actual heroin, he added,
because users typically use
the drug immediately where
they get it. And Oregon users
often tell police they procured
the drug in Madison or else-
where, he said.
Examples abound. Last
May, an off-duty police
officer in Madison pulled
over a 24-year-old Oregon
man for erratic driving and
found a heroin needle stick-
ing from his arm. In July
2012, a 24-year-old Oregon
man was arrested after crash-
ing his vehicle on Madisons
southeast side while high on
heroin. A month earlier, a
26-year-old Oregon man and
a 22-year-old Brooklyn man
were among eight men bust-
ed for trying to buy heroin
in Portage. In October 2011,
Madison police reported that
a 21-year-old Oregon man
nearly died after shooting her-
oin purchased in a Madison
grocery store parking lot.
One counter-example: an
Oregon EMT in January had
to administer Narcan to a
38-year-old woman who had
a seizure in the Walgreens
parking lot after she and a
30-year-old man shot up
heroin using needles they had
just purchased in the phar-
macy.
Most heroin in Dane Coun-
ty comes to Madison via Chi-
cago, said Lt. Jason Freedman
of the Dane County Narcotics
Task Force. While most users
still come to Madison for the
drug, he said dealers are trav-
eling more to the suburbs in
recent years.
Im very confident this is
not an urban-only problem,
he said.
Clark also says police
also believe the rise in opi-
ate addiction in recent years
fueled many petty thefts in
Oregon, as addicts sought
money to feed their habits.
Any number is bad
Bullard-Cawthorne and
others said theres a concern
that first-time users of heroin
or painkillers are starting at
younger ages.
But whi l e opi at e use
appears to be rising, local
teens arent using them in big
numbers, according to local
responses to the 2012 Dane
County Youth Assessment
survey.
Just over half of Oregon
High School students said
theyd tried alcohol or ille-
gal drugs before, and nearly
half of seniors surveyed said
theyd ridden in a car driven
by someone whod been
drinking. Nearly four in 10
OHS students had tried mari-
juana.
By contrast, more than 98
percent of respondents said
theyd never tried heroin,
while 93 percent said theyd
never illegally used prescrip-
tion drugs. Both figures mir-
ror countywide stats.
The numbers obviously
are not huge, said Amy
Miller, director of commu-
nity education for the Oregon
School District. But in our
world, any number is bad
because the risk of death from
an opiate is so much greater.
Lisa Barleen is the student
assistance program coordi-
nator at OHS. She facilitates
alcohol and other drug abuse
educational groups for stu-
dents struggling with those
substances.
In her first year at OHS in
2011, Barleen said knew of
one student whod used hero-
in. That number has grown,
she said, though she doesnt
have precise numbers.
Shes heard stories of teens
who buy heroin in Madison
and serve as mules, trans-
porting it here for others as a
way to fund their own habit.
She says seeing teens strug-
gling with addiction is hard to
watch.
These kids are super peo-
ple under all that (struggle),
she said. But it does change
them.
Raising awareness
As awareness of opiate
abuse has grown, so have
efforts to combat it, Bullard-
Cawthorne said.
One example is the Safe
Communities initiative of
Madison and Dane County,
a program that, for example,
has pushed for med-drop
boxes in communities to
eradicate supplies of painkill-
ers and is reaching out to the
medical and dental profes-
sion to curb how many of the
drugs are prescribed.
Miller said theres still
work to be done to see addic-
tion as a disease that requires
treatment, not just punish-
ment.
Bullard-Cawthorne said
stigmas that addicts are junk-
ies on the street are outdated.
It s j ust t hi s wrong
perception, she said. These
are your neighbors, your
neighbors kids. Its a wide
spectrum of people.
One local example high-
lights the highly addictive
nature of opiates.
In 2011, the Observer told
the story of Brandon Lang, a
recovering heroin addict who
spoke out locally about the
perils of opiate abuse. At the
time, he was a success story.
But in less than two years,
after a doctor prescribed him
painkillers to help with kid-
ney stones, he relapsed. He
was convicted last September
of stealing from his dad to
pay for heroin and remains on
probation.
Nancy Meyer also knows
how addiction can affect
anyone. When her son died,
she found him in his apart-
ment face down in a pool
of blood. It still haunts her
dreams.
But so does the period
before his death, when she
said his relatives were often at
a loss for where to seek help.
She hopes more people learn
about groups like the Parent
Addiction Network, an online
resource center that formed
last year to help families
answer questions about addic-
tion, signs and symptoms of
drug abuse, treatment options
and more.
I want to spare other people
from what we went through,
she said. I want to make sure
that C.J.s life mattered by
sharing his experiences.
Overdose: Just over half of OHS students said theyd tried alcohol or illegal drugs before
Oregon drug drop box
Oregon added a tool in late 2012 to curb abuse of
prescription painkillers in the community.
The police department installed a prescription drug
drop box in the lobby of its 383 Park St. building
where residents can anonymously drop off unused
or expired prescription or over-the-counter drugs, as
well as medications for pets, vitamins or inhalers. Its
available 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday through Friday.
Police Lt. Karey Clark said they often dispose of a
buckets worth of meds each week, keeping them
from potential abusers, landfills and water supplies.

Water System Information
If you would like to know more about the information contained in this report,
please contact Leif Spilde at (608) 455-1842.
The Village Board meets the second Tuesday of each month at village hall at
6:30pm.
Health Information
Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain
at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does
not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about con-
taminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental
Protection Agencys safe drinking water hotline (800-426-4791).
Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than
the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer
undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people
with HIV/AIDS or other immune systems disorders, some elderly, and infants can be
particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking
water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means
to lessen the risk of infection by cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants
are available from the Environmental Protection Agencys safe drinking water hotline
(800-426-4791).
Source(s) of Water
Source ID Source Depth (in feet) Status
1 Groundwater 616 Active
2 Groundwater 670 Active
To obtain a summary of the source water assessment please contact, Leif Spilde
at (608) 455-1842.
Educational Information
The sources of drinking water, both tap water and bottled water, include rivers,
lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs and wells. As water travels over the sur-
face of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and,
in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the
presence of animals or from human activity.
Contaminants that may be present in source water include:
Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from
sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations and wild-
life.
Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally- oc-
curring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater
discharges, oil and gas production, mining or farming.
Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as
agriculture, urban stormwater runoff and residential uses.
Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chem-
icals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and
can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff and septic systems.
Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of
oil and gas production and mining activities.
In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations that
limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems.
FDA regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water, which shall pro-
vide the same protection for public health.
Defnitions
Term Definition
AL
Action Level: The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers
treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow.
MCL
Maximum Contaminant Level: The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in
drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best
available treatment technology.
MCLG
Maximum Contaminant Level Goal: The level of a contaminant in drinking water
below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin
of safety.
MFL million fibers per liter
MRDL
Maximum residual disinfectant level: The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in
drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is
necessary for control of microbial contaminants.
MRDLG
Maximum residual disinfectant level goal: The level of a drinking water disinfectant
below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect
the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants.
mrem/year millirems per year (a measure of radiation absorbed by the body)
NTU Nephelometric Turbidity Units
pCi/l picocuries per liter (a measure of radioactivity)
ppm parts per million, or milligrams per liter (mg/l)
ppb parts per billion, or micrograms per liter (ug/l)
ppt parts per trillion, or nanograms per liter
ppq parts per quadrillion, or picograms per liter
TCR Total Coliform Rule
TT
Treatment Technique: A required process intended to reduce the level of a
contaminant in drinking water.
Detected Contaminants
Your water was tested for many contaminants last year. We are allowed to moni-
tor for some contaminants less frequently than once a year. The following tables list
only those contaminants which were detected in your water. If a contaminant was
detected last year, it will appear in the following tables without a sample date. If the
contaminant was not monitored last year, but was detected within the last 5 years, it
will appear in the tables below along with the sample date.

Contaminant Health Effects
LEAD
Infants and children who drink water containing lead in excess of the action level
could experience delays in their physical or mental development. Children could
show slight deficits in attention span and learning abilities. Adults who drink this
water over many years could develop kidney problems or high blood pressure.
Additional Health Information
If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially
for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from
materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. Brook-
lyn Waterworks is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot
control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has
been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by
fushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or
cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your
water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you
can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at
www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.
Information on Monitoring for Cryptosporidium and Radon
Our water system did not monitor our water for cryptosporidium or radon during
2013. We are not required by State or Federal drinking water regulations to do so.

Obituary
June Adelia Ross
June Adel i a (Eberdt )
Ross, age 89, of Tucson,
Ariz., went to be with the
Lord March 6, 2014. Born
June 4, 1924, t o Theo-
dore and Eunice (Orchard)
Eberdt in Warrens, she was
a 1942 graduate of Tomah
Hi gh Sc hool . Dur i ng
WWII, June first worked
for the telephone company
in Madison and Chicago,
then with the U.S. Weather
Bureau in West Lafayette,
Ind., and Louisville, Ky.
After the war, she married

June was a chiropractic
assistant at the Breitbach
Chi ropract i c offi ce for
17 years, before becom-
ing office manager for the
family business, Madison
Scale Company. She was
a life-long learner, avid
reader, and loved to travel.
She and her husband vis-
ited England, Scotland,
Israel, Alaska and Hawaii.
June was very artistic and
active, and enjoyed home
decorating, sewing, needle-
work, and painting. She
and her husband l oved
woodcarving, as well as
activities like golf (June
was an extraordinary put-
ter), and downhill skiing
which they started in their
fifties but gave up when
t hey ret i red t o Tucson.
Most of all, though, June
loved her Lord, her family,
and her friends.
June was preceded i n
death by her parents, sib-
lings, husband, and one
great-grandchild, Nevaeh
Wallace.
She is survived by her
children; six grandchil -

children; sister-in-laws,
Leone (Wakefield) Ross
and Patricia (Moore) (Don)
Heinrich; brother-in-law,
Duane Pete (Carol) Lam-
bert; many nieces, neph-
ews, and friends.
June was a devoted wife,
mother, friend, and Chris-
tian, who wanted all to
know the saving grace of
Jesus. She will be greatly
missed.
A local celebration of
life is planned for 10:30
a.m., May 24, 2014, at City
Church, 4909 E. Buckeye
Road, Madison.
The family offers thanks
to the staff of the follow-

in lieu of flowers, suggests
memorials be made to Fel-
