The 12 months Oregon native

Anna Wangen had spent in Sweden in the past year had a profound effect on her and opened
a window to possibilities shed
never considered.
Wangen returned to the United States the last week in June
after spending her time as a foreign exchange student in Lund,
Sweden, a university town of

Mike Brant, left, and Josh Sebranek stand in front of their house in Oregon with their 5-year-old daughter Ella. The couple
married June 6, but is now in a legal limbo after U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb issued a stay one week later on her
decision to legalize same-sex marriage in Wisconsin.

Love in Limbo

Oregon same-sex couple marries, waits for legal resolution

Unified Newspaper Group

Mike Brant and Joshua Sebranek

knew they were getting married in
2014.
They just werent sure whether
it would be in the state where they
live.
The couple had already bought
plane tickets to California for
October because same-sex marriage is legal there and they were
ready. But thanks to U.S. District
Judge Barbara Crabbs June 6

decision to overturn the gay marriage ban in Wisconsin, at least

for a week, they got married just a
20-minute drive from their home.
It was perfect, Brant said.
Im so thankful we had that
opportunity.
One week later, they were left in
legal limbo after Crabb put a stay
on her decision without clearly
indicating whether the more than
550 same-sex couples who had
received marriage licenses over the
week were still legally married.
Brant and Sebranek said they

expected Crabbs stay order, and

it doesnt change how happy they
are to have finally had their marriage recognized, even if it was
briefly.
Were not going to play victim, Brant said. We knew that
was probably going to happen. I
knew wed be in limbo like this,
but Id rather have limbo than
nothing.
The recognition issue is not an
inconsequential decision. Not only

taken an art class since middle school, but something
about working with glass
resonated for her. It didnt
take long for her to run out
of family and friends to gift
with her glass creations,
so she soon began selling
them.
Now, after applying for
the past five years, her work
has finally been accepted to

be featured at the popular

art show. Her current passion is three-dimensional
mosaics, and she tries to
incorporate 3-D elements
and/or the feeling of movement and depth in her mosaics whenever possible.
All of her creations are
made with hand-cut stained
glass, and some have
included thousands of pieces of glass.
Lippert is a green artist, using recycled/found

items as a base or as part

of the elements of most
of her mosaics. Since so
many of her creations are
upcycled, most cannot be
duplicated, and customers
particularly enjoy knowing
their work of art is unique.

Guidelines for Fall election letters

Unified Newspaper Group is
proud to offer a venue for public
debate and welcomes letters to the
editor, provided they comply with
our guidelines.
Political endorsements and other election letters must be submitted about two weeks before the
relevant election.
For the upcoming fall election,
primary election letters need to
be submitted by July 28 and will
be printed July 31. General election letters need to be submitted
by Oct. 20 and will be printed Oct.
23.
Letters will be printed as space
allows.
Other special rules apply during
election season.
Letters should be no longer
than 400 words. They should
also contain contact information
the writers full name, address,
and phone number so that the
paper may confirm authorship.
Unsigned or anonymous letters
will not be printed under any circumstances.
The editorial staff of Unified
Newspaper Group reserves the
right to edit letters for length, clarity and appropriateness. Letters
with libelous or obscene content
will not be printed.
Unified Newspaper Group generally only accepts letters from
writers with ties to our circulation
area.
All letters to the editor should
be of general public interest. Letters that are strictly personal lost
pets, for example will not be
printed. Letters that recount personal experiences, good or bad,
with individual businesses will
not be printed unless there is an

Dates to know

partisan primary letters

overwhelming and compelling
public interest to do so. Letters
that urge readers to patronize specific businesses or specific religious faiths will not be printed,
either. Thank-you letters can
be printed under limited circumstances, provided they do not contain material that should instead
be placed as an advertisement and
reflect public, rather than promotional interests.
Language, quotations, facts
and research that are contained
in a letter but come from another
source should be attributed. Plagiarized material will not be published. Chain letters will not be
printed, nor will letters already
published in another newspaper or
magazine.
Unified Newspaper Group
encourages lively public debate
on issues, but it reserves the right
to limit the number of exchanges
between individual letter writers
to ensure all writers have a chance
to have their voices heard.
This policy will be printed from
time to time in an abbreviated
form here and will be posted in its
entirety on our websites.

Inspiration had a hand

in moving to Japan
F

our years.
Thats how long Ive
spent deeply caring about
the four communities Unified
Newspaper Group serves.
Last week marked the end of
my job as page designer and
community reporter at UNG.
Like any relationship, while
weve had our ups and downs,
its hard to say
goodbye. But
unlike most
relationships,
Im letting
go of not one
connection,
but rather hundreds of them
through all
Vlisides
of the inspiring people Ive
interviewed and worked closely
with throughout the years.
Getting to know the people in
Verona, Stoughton, Fitchburg,
Oregon and their surrounding
communities are truly what have
made this job memorable and
enjoyable. Of course, Im also
going to miss the incredibly
hard-working, close-knit and
often quirky and fun group of
co-workers at UNG.
But before I talk about my
new life path, theres something
Ive found to be an intensely
narrow experience reporters go
through that I want to point out.
Its the opportunity to, within
minutes of meeting someone,
ask them to tell you about the
most intimate details of their
life. Some of the time, people
are sharing accounts they may
never have had the opportunity
to tell anyone before, and its
not an experience Ive taken
lightly.
We Midwesterners grow up
with this inherent sense of crippling modesty, and through this
job Ive often had to convince
people their story is worth telling. Ive learned that sharing
doesnt have to be bragging.
And each time an individual

chooses to share what are often

deeply sensitive accounts, they
inspire someone else who may
be going through the same thing,
letting them know that its OK
to be open. I want to say thank
you to those who have had the
courage to share both triumphs
and struggles.
Being a journalist has continually pushed me outside of my
comfort zone. Ive interviewed
cancer patients, people whose
families have lived through horrific child abuse cases and even
one woman who was dying.
There have been times the
experience was so visceral, Ive
left interviews and sat in my car
and just cried. But the beautiful thing about journalism is
it always keeps you guessing
whats next, and there have certainly been tears of joy that have
come out of this job, too.
Ive spent years attempting to
tell other peoples stories that I
hope have, in some small way,
humanized issues not many of
us have personally experienced.
I cant shake the idea that community journalists do something
I consider one of the most sacred
honors connecting people.
I think community newspapers remain a relevant form of
news in such an unstable time
for media because they remind
us that we do share a connection
with the strangers we may see
every day. And through these
stories, we find out who the
heck these people are who help
us pump our gas, or serve us our
food or even figure out whats
up with that weird guy who has
the 50 lawn gnomes in his front
yard.
The more we learn about one
another, we realize not how different we are, but how we are
unified through similar struggles
and strengths. Its too easy to
say, That could never be me.
There are always a million
reasons not to do something. But
I have gotten to invite people

to start thinking, Why not me?

If this person can start their
own nonprofit, or can travel the
world, why cant I?
These stories, though they
might not always be the most
hard-hitting of news, spark communication and empathy in a
country where individualism is
so celebrated, yet we are conditioned to feel that as just an
individual, we cant really make
a difference.
Whats been concretely illustrated to me over and over is
that I that we can make a
difference by simply changing
ourselves. And that is why Ive
left a career I so enjoy: to make
a change that three or four years
ago, I never believed for a second I could.
I am moving to Japan to
become an assistant English
teacher at a high school.
Most people tell me thats crazy; and three years ago, I would
have agreed. But now, after
meeting all of these inspiring
and seemingly regular people
people like me who have lived
in Wisconsin all their lives,
whose parents are good, hardworking Midwesterners that
has lit a fire and helped inspire
me to move on to my next life
goal.
And although I will be temporarily leaving so many wonderful and supportive friends and
family and an amazing boyfriend, I cant help but think that
the only thing crazier than moving halfway around the world is
letting the fear of the unknown
stop me from doing something I
want to do.
Sayonara.
Victoria Vlisides, 27, was an
employee with Unified Newspaper Group from April 2010 to
July 2014. She left her post as
community reporter to pursue
a teaching job in Chiba Prefecture, Japan, where she will be
moving in August.

Rewriting your life

Writing can help us deal with many of lifes problems. Many teenagers have weathered the storm and stress of those turbulent years
by keeping a journal, and that same practice can help virtually
anyone who can express him or herself in writing. Writing about
our fears and anxieties has a way of making them a little less scary
and often gives us insight into how to resolve the situation. It can
also be helpful to write about our lives in a way that essentially
rewrites the story. Someone who is feeling a lack of courage might
write about themselves displaying courage. We all have stories to
tell, and in thinking about our lives we have a tendency to place
our lives into an overarching narrative. That is, we tell ourselves a
particular story that makes sense of our life. The story we tell as
a teenager is likely to be very different from the one we tell in our
twenties or thirties, and there is obviously some wisdom to periodically updating our story. What is the story that you currently tell
about your life, and how would you like to see it changed? As we
get older, and especially as we approach our golden years, we
should think more about whether our story really does fit the life
we have lived, and the story that we hope our life will someday tell.
We should also remember that the final version cant be written
until our life is complete.
- Christopher Simon via Metro News Service
Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.

Sweden: Oregons Wangen spends year in Europe

hang flowers around your
neck. Then you run up onto
a big trailer, which is decorated, and you have like a
dance party up there and
they drive around the entire
city.
Along with ranging
beyond her musical comfort zone, Wangen also
conquered fears as she
learned to downhill ski in
the French Alps.
Her host family was a
group of avid alpine skiers who took the American with them for a winter
vacation in Switzerland.
I was in like ski school
for the entire day for about
10 days, and I conquered a
lot of fears, she said.

Continued from page 1

Wangen explained.
I took a guest year,
and people here thought I
was out of my mind when
I decided not to go to college right away. Then I got
there, and nobody knew
what they were going to
do after they graduated.
Everyone takes at least one
year off before continuing
their studies. They all go
travel.
Wangen discovered that
taking a years detour from
higher education was very
normal and is common
throughout Europe.
She lived with a host
family in Lund and
immersed herself in Swedish culture. She got an
opportunity to travel
throughout Sweden and
visit a few other countries,
as well.
The experience transformed her, like a flower
blossoming.
Wangen said she left
the U.S. kind of narrowsighted on what my options
were and came back quite
a different person.
Now I just want to travel everywhere, she said.
She reconsidered her
original plan of attending
Lawrence and has applied
to Lund University, one of
Swedens largest colleges.
Wangen wont know until
later this month whether
shes been accepted.
If I dont get in, I kind
of had my heart set on
moving back anyway, she
said. I would probably
work and travel more next
year and apply again.

A lifelong dream
Traveling to Sweden
was a natural choice for
Wangen because shed
been studying the language
since she was 12.
For six years, she attended a summer camp program of Concordia College in Moorhead, Minn.
Concordia Swedish summer camp is part of a large
program called Concordia
Language Villages.
They have this lake
with all these summer
camps around it, Wangen
said. Theyre called language villages, and they
have like 16 different languages.
The idea is complete
i m m e r s i o n i n t h e l a nguage. By the time shed
reached high school age,
she was earning OHS language credits for spending
a month at summer camp.

Just enough

Wangen celebrates Swedish graduation day, called Studenten.

Wangen said visiting

Sweden had been a lifelong
dream fueled by the fact
that her father, Ron, had
been an exchange student
himself more than 30 years
ago.
That explains a very
young Anna studying the
language and developing
an appreciation for Swedish culture.
Id been hearing about
it all my life, she said.

Highlights
But what she encountered
in the Scandinavian country
exceeded her expectations.
For one thing, she loved
her host family and was
easily folded into it. It was
interesting and exciting to
go from being an only child
to living for a year with a
new sister and brother, both
close in age, she said.
Her experience in Swedish secondary school was
also exceptional. A classically trained clarinetist,
Wangen said her musical
horizons broadened beyond
her comfort zone as she
learned about jazz and
improvisation.
I got to high school and
encountered people Id
never expected to talk to
in my entire life, and I was
very scared, she admitted.
They were kind of like

rock stars.
I did learn how to play
jazz clarinet and improvise,
which was very much out
of my comfort zone prior to
this year, she added. Then
I got to be in like jazz combos at school.
She also joined a wind
ensemble and a celebrated
choral group that traveled
to compete internationally
in Malaga, Spain.
Choir was the best
because I got to learn about
Swedish traditions, Wangen recalled. Choir singing
is a very important part of
the culture there the folk
culture. I got to learn about
a lot of old traditions and
traditional songs. The choir
was very good and had a
long history of winning a
lot of competitions.
She said a highlight was
celebrating high school
graduation Swedish-style.
That was my favorite
thing. There is no mortar board and diploma and
walking across the stage
in a football stadium, she
recounted. Basically its
a huge celebration. You
wear white and you kind of
run around the city and you
make a lot of noise.
The graduation ceremony
is everyone kind of runs
out of the school and they
have a big sign, and people

Language, reading and

writing, music, food and
travel Wangen said all
of her strongest passions
became more focused and
intense during her time
abroad.
She was fascinated with
Swedens political and
social culture. It was her
first time seeing democratic socialism practiced on
a large scale, and she was
impressed by it.
The country is very liberal, and it works very well
for them, she observed.
She noted the Swedes
have like seven or eight
political parties.
Seeing so many parties
and witnessing how well it
functioned left me thinking its a really robust discussion environment, she
said.
She discovered a culture
that is kind of understated
in contrast to American culture, which is sometimes
too much and over the top.
It seemed like the right
environment and matched
my personality quite well,
Wangen said. It just felt
right.
She was also very interested with a philosophy of
life that pervades Swedish
culture. She discovered a
concept and a term lagom
that has no equivalent in
the English language.
Lagom is their idea of
ideal, Wangen explained.
Its their idea of perfection, which means not too
little and not too much. Its
the perfect amount of something or the perfect feel.
Its not overly positive,
she continued. The ideal is
not to have as much as possible. Like, its enough and
its just right. The word is
very pervasive in how people live their lives.

Previous Badger Boys
State graduates are prominent today as leaders in
public office, business and
the armed forces.
The week-long Badger
Boys State program ran
from June 14 through June
21 in Ripon. The annual
program brings together
approximately 850 high
school students from across
Wisconsin to create a 51st
state known as Badger
Boys State.
Badger Boys State participants develop their own
party platforms, pass local
ordinances and utilize a
state patrol and judicial
system to enforce the laws
and constitution of the 51st
state.
Additionally, citizens
choose from a series of
schools of instruction ranging from law school
and peace officer school,
to schools on lobbying and
campaign strategies.
Badger Boys State participants also have an
opportunity to participate
in a variety of team sports
that compete throughout the week, a band and
choir, Color Guard, and
write for the Badger Bugle
Citizen, the official newspaper of Badger Boys State.

Mount Horeb/Pine Bluff at Oregon High School.

Still in the playoff hunt

Errors prevent Orioles
from perfect weekend
Anthony Iozzo
Assistant sports editor

Player/manager Eric Engler said

last weekend was going to be make
or break for the Oregon Home Talent team, and it looked to be positive
after a 2-1 win against Hollandale
last Friday.
But defense and lack of hitting
Sunday against Mount Horeb/Pine
Bluff put a blemish on the attempt to
stay in the playoff hunt.
Four errors in the top of the fifth
led to four runs and an eventual 8-1
loss, dropping the Orioles to 6-7 on
the season.
We needed them both, Engler
said. This puts a lot of pressure on
us to beat Verona next week, which
is obviously going to be tough.
Oregon still holds the sixth spot
for the playoffs, but Engler said the
Orioles probably need to win two
of the final three games. The next
game is at 1 p.m. Sunday at Verona
(13-0). But the final two games are

at Monroe (July 20) and

against Ridgeway at home
(July 27).
If we go 2-1 in the last
three, we will have our
spot, Engler said. Against
Verona, we have to put our
heads down and do our thing
and play good defense, but I
dont think we have to win
out.
Oregon is a young team
with high school graduates Abe Maurice, Ross
Galloway, Logan Laski Jere
Bauer, Colin Byron, Tyler
Mortensen, Bryan Putnam
and Will Reinicke that has
shown spurts of success this
season, but it will need to
be more consistent, Engler
added.

Oregon 2, Hollandale 1
The week started off
with a complete game win
by Ben Riffle as the host
Orioles scored twice in the
fourth inning to give him all
the run support he needed.
Defensively, we played
great, and Ben pitched awesome, Engler said. He was
around the plate he just
did what he always does,
kept his head down and kept
pushing through.
Abe Maurice singled, and
Jeff Spiwak followed with a
double to put runners on second and third.
Sam Schretenthaler followed with an RBI groundout, and Engler came up
with an RBI sacrifice fly.
We scored the two runs
early, and I didnt think two
runs were going to get it
done that day, Engler said.
Riffle did the rest, allowing a run on five hits. He
struck out six and walked
none.
The only Hollandale
run was scored after Mike
Schlimgen doubled and
came in to score on a sacrifice fly by Jared Rear.
Roy Hehn took the loss
for Hollandale. He allowed
two earned runs on two hits.
He walked three and struck
out two.

1-0 lead with two outs in

the top of the fifth when the
errors began.
After an error and a double put runners on second
and third,
Another two errors led to
two runs. The Orioles committed another error, and a
2-run single made it 4-1.
One error is OK. You
can get over that, Engler
said. But when it is one
after another, it just piles on.
And Neil was throwing fine.
He was getting the groundballs, but we werent doing
the right thing with them.
The Bluffers added four
more runs in the top of the
seventh. Engler replaced
Neil Carney on the mound
and allowed two singles
before giving up a walk.
The bases remained loaded after a fielders choice
went awry, and a sacrifice
fly led to another run to
make it 6-1. However, a
throw to second from home
led to another run as the
ball sailed into center field.
Mount Horeb/Pine Bluff
added another run to cap the
inning.
Oregons offense didnt
do much to help either. The
lone run came in the second
when Engler picked up a
bunt single and catcher Ryan
Hoodjer reached on an error
by the third baseman.
Left fielder Blake Watzke
followed with an RBI single.
Second baseman Kyle
Moore then picked up a sacrifice bunt to put runners on
second and third, and right
fielder Ian Galloway was hit
by a pitch to load the bases.
However, a strikeout and
lineout ended the threat, and
Oregon only had a runner in
scoring position one more
time for the entire game.
We had the errors today,
and they were putting the
ball in play, Engler said.
Nobody in the infield
played well, but still, one run
is not going to do it.
When we get guys on
base, we have to capitalize.
Carney picked up the loss,
allowing no earned runs on
seven hits in six innings. He
walked three and struck out
four. Engler pitched the final
three innings and allowed
three earned runs on four
hits. He walked one and
struck out one.

The student is the master

Antolec uses new approach to old training

Scott De Laruelle
Unified Newspaper Group

Dan Antolec might be in

charge around his two black
Labrador retrievers, Buddha
and Gandhi, but hell quickly
tell you that he, not they, is
the student.
After all, the only true
dog experts are dogs,
Antolec said.
Antolec, CPDT-KA
(Certified Professional
Dog Trainer Knowledge
Assessed), is the owner of
Happy Buddha Dog Training, and not surprisingly,
he takes a very Zen-like
approach to his work. Raised
on Madisons east side, he
and his wife have lived in
rural Brooklyn for more than
30 years, enjoying the wideopen spaces and scenery for
their variety of animals.
But it wasnt always that
way for Antolec, who grew
up always wanting a dog,
but with a father who didnt
believe the city was the right
place for one. Thats a bit of
knowledge that was passed
on to the son, who has taken
the care and compassionate
training of dogs to a whole
new level.
After recently retiring
from a 30-year career in law
enforcement, part of which
he spent training police officers, he took a job at a dog
day care, for the fun of it.
Soon, he fell in love with
the animals, and was particularly intrigued by dog behavior.
I was seeing a lot of communication I didnt understand, mostly body language, he said. In order to
take care of groups of 40 or
50 dogs, if you dont know
what youre seeing, occasionally there would be an
argument, and if you didnt
preempt what was happening
it might turn into a fight.
Antolec started studying
canine body language and
behavior, and soon was asked
by the day care to start training dogs. Two years ago, he
formed his own business and
took a more serious approach.
The more I go into it, the
more I wanted to know,
Antolec said. Its really satisfying, because its really
about problem-solving.

Old school, new

school
If theres anything a law
enforcement officer learns
during three decades on the
job, its problem-solving.
Having also studied martial
arts for years and taught selfdefense courses, Antolec was
a natural instructor as well,
but when he surveyed the
training methods used for
dogs, he was shocked.

I bought a training book,

and the author was critical of
trainers using harsh methods,
(but) his chapter was describing the proper ways to hit a
dog, Antolec said, shaking
his head. And he was one of
the gentler guys. I tried using
those methods, and things
werent working. I understand now.
The proverbial light came
on when he started reading
the works of Ian Dunbar,
who promoted training dogs
as puppies rather than waiting until they developed bad
habits. He also used positive
reinforcement, which led to
much better results.
While that method is
much more prevalent today,
Antolec said there are still
essentially two camps of dog
trainers.
Traditional trainers use
a lot of punishment, forcing
dogs into positions, he said.
It might include slapping or
choking, hanging the dog,
electric shocks, a lot of yelling.
These trainers use dominance theory, which
Antolec said has no basis in
science.
The assumption is the
dog is always challenging the
person and you need to make
them submit, he said. Its
kind of a strange concept
when a five-pound puppy is
accused of being dominant.
Dogs are 100 percent dependent.
Instead of using negative
reinforcement, Antolec sides
with virtually all animal
behaviorists in using positive reinforcement and negative punishment.
If I ask for a sit and I get
a sit, its Yay, good boy,
he said. Its a lot of verbal
praise. Im always looking
for ways to set the dog up to
succeed.
Antolec said dominancebased trainers are simply
controlling and commanding dogs, which keeps the
animals from living a happy,
joyful life because theyre
only doing what theyre told.
What animal behaviorists will recommend is to
give dogs more freedom of
choice, just be selective in
what youre rewarding,
he said. You want dogs to
think for themselves. Thats
how you teach a dog good
manners.

Second career
While Antolec trains dogs
on his property or at the Village Animal Clinic, he prefers making house calls to
get at the root of problems.
A lot of the behavior
issues are really based in the
environment, he said. One
family wants their dogs to be
off-leash, but they live near a

road, so were teaching basic

obedience look, sit, down,
touch, wait, come.
For the past few years,
Antolec has worked with
around 80 animals a year,
usually in six-week cycles.
Hes passionate about dogs,
but also about their training,
and strongly suggests people
have their pets trained by a
certified professional.
You have to develop
some experience, he said.
There are about 50,000 dog
trainers in U.S., but only
about 2,400 have certification. You could have a good
trainer whos not certified,
but you dont know. Its all
about fixing the problem,
and doing it in a way thats
fun and that people can continue.
Antolec belongs to several other training groups,
including Force-Free Trainers of Wisconsin and the Pet
Professional Guild. He said
there are highly successful ways to train dogs without using physical abuse, so
when he sees trainers using
those methods, he cringes.
And dont get him started
on Cesar Millan, the Dog
Whisperer, made popular
by his TV show. Antolec
said many people see the
harsh methods used and
think thats the only way to
train an animal.
Thats what scares me

about the dominance theory

we see represented there,
because people dont see the
disclaimer that says, Dont
do these things, Antolec
said. (Millans) a very
charming guy, a great entertainer, very charismatic, (but)
its an entertainment product
to sell the advertisers products. What he does flies in
the face of what scientists
have found, but its the power of television. What if I go
into your home to do training and I say, Well, now
Im going to do this, but you
dont do this?
Antolec said one of the
main reasons many dogs
dont make it past their early
years is behavioral problems,
caused many times by poor
training, or none at all. When
he teaches bite prevention,
he actually shows an episode
of The Dog Whisperer to
show what not to do.
Hes provoking the dog
to bite him, which it does,
Antolec said. Its called the
Lion Tamers Syndrome. If
I provoke your dog to show
me aggressive displays and
then I change what I do, I can
inhibit the behavior temporarily yay, I can conquer
the fierce dog! And thats
what the lion tamer has to do
to entertain the public, but
every now and then, it backfires. And Cesars been bitten numerous times.

When he works with a new

dog, Antolec said he actually
does very little instruction,
much less physical, hands-on
control.
Im encouraging the dog
to think and make choices,
he said. Freedom of choice
reduces stress. If Im letting
the dog figure something out,
its a much stronger learning
process.
Training a dog is all about
relationship-building,
Antolec said, and establishing a common language.
The first thing the people
said to me last night when I
was working with their dog
was that I was working magic, he said. I said, It is magic, and Im going to teach you
magic. The reason it looks so
easy is Ive done it a lot more
than the average person.
Thats one of the advantages to having a certified
trainer, Antolec said, to provide an objective, trained set
of eyes.
Wed had dogs for 30
years, but I didnt know
much about dogs, he said.
So I had to actually study,
and thats when I realized
how little I knew. Thats
the advantage of going to a
trainer someone whos been
there, done that. If you think
your dog has a unique problem, Ive probably seen it. (If)
I dont feel qualified, I know
who to refer people to.
When deciding on a pet,
Antolec said the critical
question is your own lifestyle.
If I live in downtown
Madison and work all day, I
may think border collies are
the most beautiful dogs in the
world, but if I get one, its
going to be an unhappy dog
and an unhappy owner, he
said. A dog like that needs
lots of work and lots of attention.
You cant bring a genius
into your home and then
expect it to sit around and do
nothing.

What was termed a mass
meeting was held at Daniels
Opera House to address the
issue, Are Saloons a Good
Thing for Oregon? Members
of the local clergy speaking to the issue were Father
Condon, the Rev. Nelson,
the Rev. Allison and the Rev.
Foster. A joint choir of the
local congregations provided
music along with Mr. Joslin
who played two cello selections with organ accompaniment. The issue was resolved
at the spring elections when
the Oregon electorate voted
127 to 98 in favor of keeping
Oregon dry and against the
issuing of liquor licenses.
Criddle & Kellor, a local
implement dealer, announced
that they had just received a
car load of new Moline and
Flying Dutchman Manure
Spreaders with return and
endless aprons.
The old blacksmith shop,
recently occupied by J. F.
Ginin, was torn down to make
way for the Village Hall which
will be moved onto the site.
(This is in reference to the
former wooden structure serving as the Village Hall) The lot
now occupied by the Village
Hall was purchased by T. H.
Grady who will build on the
site a modern brick commercial building.
Village President R. C.
Richards, along with the vhairmen of the towns of Oregon,
Fitchburg, Dunn and Rutland,
called for a referendum vote on
May 9 concerning a decision to
proceed with a proposed union
high school.
The special events listed
on the billing of the local opera
house were wrestling and athletic exhibitions; a three-mile
walking match between W.
H. Brown and Nels Quale; a
catch-as-catch-can wrestling
match between Chas. Brown
of Rutland and Eddie La Roy
of Dayton, Wash. LaRoy would
also perform feats of strength
and acrobatic jumping.
Frank Daniels announced
that he was installing an electric dynamo in the opera house
to operate a moving picture
machine. He intends to present
moving picture shows every
Wednesday and Saturday evening.
The Rev. E. M. Nelson,
who had been pastor of the
Danish Lutheran Church (now
St. Johns) for the past three
years, accepted a call from a
church in Sycamore, Mich.,
and will leave Oregon in midMay.
50 years ago (1964)
Milton J. Wischhoff celebrated 50 years in the jewelry business in Oregon. He
started his apprenticeship in
1912 at the H. H. Ratcliff Co.
Jewelers in Madison after

which he furthered his education in the trade before coming

to Oregon in 1914 and buying
a local jewelry shop from Mr.
H. Laughlin, whose store was
located on the west corner
of the Netherwood Bldg. (the
present location of Murphy
Dental Office). In 1950, he
moved his store to the north
end of the Bank of Oregon
Bldg. where he and his son,
an optometrist, shared a store
front.
During Speed Queen
Week Billings & Fahey
Hardware of Brooklyn advertised Speed Queen Model
50 wringer washers for $99
plus a trade-in. The washers
would do up to seven loads per
hour. However, if customers
wished to invest a bit more
money they could purchase a
12-pound capacity Automatic
Multicycle Washer for $195.
OHS hosted a section of
the Madison Suburban League
Music Festival which included
503 events (327 solos and
176 ensembles). Students
from Oregon participating
as Class A entrants were
Nancy Jallings, Carol Manion,
Kathryn Ringhand, Betty Knox
and Rich Olson.
An old tobacco shed on
the Clarence Johnson farm
located north of and across
from the HMC Church and
school was torn down. It
was noted that the view from
the school grounds would be
much improved as a result
of the sheds removal. The
farm is being operated by Leo
Crapp.
Lee Hendriksen, owner
of the Home Owned Grocery
Store (Firefly Coffee House
today), expanded his refrigeration system including a selfservice meat case which will
enable him to introduce several new lines of meat and produce. It was also noted that
the store was opened every
Sunday morning.
The OHS senior class presented a production of the

But eight years later, the
couple knows the issue is
moving in the right direction, and sooner than they
thought.
In my lifetime, I just never foresaw this happening,
Brant said.

Mike and Joshua

The two have been together for 12 years and moved
to Oregon in 2007 looking
to raise a family and raise
a daughter. They say they
have been treated well ever
since.
Its been a non-issue,
and if it ever had been an
issue, people had worked
toward correcting the issue
or toward making things
better, said Sebranek, who
works as an anesthesiologist
at UW Hospital.

more of an issue, but I think
people realize its not an
issue. Were the same.
They still get noticed,
though, as two gay guys
with a pit bull and a mixed
race daughter, they joked.
But that awareness, rather
than leading to disagreements or issues, has helped
their local community move
forward with little things,
such as changing the preschool application form to
say Parent 1 and Parent
2 rather than Mother and
Father.
That meant a lot, said
Brant, who is a stay-at-home
dad for Ella. For someone
in my position where I have
to cross out the word Mother and put Parent 2.
Its something he said followed a theme of support and
recognition from the community around them, which
could see how they functioned as a family and how
they cared for their daughter.
My day is the same as
every other mom, every other parent out there, he said.
They realize and appreciate
that and respect that.
And to be able to finally
recognize their relationship
in a way that heterosexual
couples have for centuries,
just eight years after a constitutional amendment denied
them that chance for the foreseeable future, the couple is
grateful.
The people that were (at
the courthouse)they did
an amazing job, Brant said.
They were on top of it and

With so much changing

over the last year, Brant and
Sebranek are confident its
only a matter of time until
same-sex marriage is legal
and recognized across the
country.
Even before full recognition, theyre hoping that U.S.
Attorney General Eric Holder will soon make a decision
to recognize those marriages
that took place in Wisconsin
between June 6 and 13 for
federal benefits, something
hes done for others who
have faced similar situations
in other states such as Utah.
They would have had
those rights had they waited
until October to get married
in California as planned, but
they said the chance to be
part of history in the state
they live in was a chance
they couldnt pass up.
Our getting married as
part of a bigger movement is
such a small thing compared
to people whove lost their
lives, who are getting bullied
or abused, Sebranek said.
But its important to have a
group or a cohort of people
who got married when they
could. That was one small
thing that we could do, not
only for us but maybe also
for the quote-unquote movement.
Other likely action
includes a decision on an
appeal from Wisconsin
Attorney General J.B. Van
Hollen of Crabbs ruling, as
well as the possibility of the
U.S. Supreme Court taking
up a Utah decision, recently
upheld by a federal appeals
court, similar to Crabbs.
Brant and Sebranek simply hope their story, and
others around the state and
the country, will continue to
move the issue forward.
(Same-sex couples visibility has) made a difference
on a national level and itll
make a difference in the Bergamont development in Oregon, Wisconsin, Sebranek
said.
Its harder to oppress, or
be mean, or berate someone
or take a right away if you
know that person or if you
see them or you see that we
all struggle, Brant added
later.
