2008 as part of a setting that allows Buddhist monks to live this tradition.

Continuing Sopas mission

Deer Park Buddhist Centers founder died in August at 92
Bill Livick
Unified Newspaper Group

The founder of the Deer Park Buddhist Center has died, but his teachings will continue through the work
of other monks at the monastery.
Gesh Lhundub Sopa died Aug.
28, nearly 40 years after founding the
center, which is now located in the
Town of Dunn, two miles northeast of
Oregon.
The Tibetan Buddhist monastery will stay as-is, Sopas personal

attendant, Lhundub Chowng, told the

Observer last week. It will continue as it had. It is our job as the next
generation of monks to continue the
teaching and practices.
Chowng noted there are only a
few fully operating Tibetan Buddhist
monasteries in the United States, and
the center located about a mile north
of Oregon on Schneider Road was
the first place in the western hemisphere to be blessed by the Dalai
Lama.
Our job is to uphold the monastic

With memories of two

failed referenda in 2012
and lessons learned
clearly in mind, Oregon
School District (OSD)
officials are reaching out
to the public to make sure
their message is heard
loud and clear this time
around.
After district residents
rejected a $33 million
referendum by a 58-42
margin two years ago,
OSD officials spent nearly $10,000 on a survey
that fall to find out what
residents were looking
for. Many people wanted
the district to continue to
press for a referendum,
but they also wanted the
district to be clearer about
what they were asking for
and why.

Mile-long trail open at

Anderson Farm County Park
Friends group
continues work to
improve land
Scott Girard
Unified Newspaper Group

A major Dane County

park acquisition in the
Town of Oregon that began
taking shape more than
five years ago is starting to
come together as volunteers
work on the land.
While the overall project
to bring the 380-acre park
to its ultimate use, which
could include an agriculture
center and campsites, will
be years-long, volunteers
are working to put it together one aspect at a time.
First, a walking trail.
Were looking to get
more and more of the community out, said Roe Parker, president of the Friends
of Anderson Park group.
Some of this, it looks
like it could come out of
a Harry Potter movie, he
added with a laugh.
Volunteers from the
Friends group worked
much of the summer and
fall on a few projects, and
their efforts are showing
as a mile-long trail is now
open for walking.
Its not perfect youll
have to watch for some tree

roots and be sure to put on

some mosquito spray but
Parker said hes seen some
people using it already and
expects that use to only
grow as they continue their
work and getting the word
out.
Currently, volunteers are
clearing buckthorn to eventually help clear more of the
underbrush on the trails.
Earlier in the summer,
volunteers also created a
GPS inventory of the trees
in the forest area, totaling
800 or 900 points, Parker
said.
Itll help us for managing the forest, he said.
Grants are really not gifts,
theyre sort of like a contract of sorts. People are
going to want to know
where they are going to get
the benefit for their money.
Parker said one of the
groups focuses is using the
land for educational purposes moving forward, and
hes currently having conversations with a class at
Oregon High School as well
as Verona Eagle Scouts.
The group is also working
to become a 501(c)3 group
so it can obtain grants for
the park.
Winter uses are still up in
the air, Parker said, as the
group works with the county on potentially plowing
the parking lot on Union

Road at one entrance to the

trail.
With the park jutting
right against the Village of
Oregon limits, including
entrances at S. Main Street,
where an information kiosk
is planned for the future,
and other neighborhood
roads, Parker said he looks
forward to more people
finding out about the park
as the group continues to
expand its uses.
When you think that
something this sort of
native and pristine is available and were less than

half a mile from the village

limits, I think thats whats
unique about the park,
he said. People are really
tickled to learn that theres
such a great resource so
close by.
The Friends group will
hold its next meeting Oct.
15 at the Town of Oregon
hall. There will also be a
Harvest Bonfire celebration
Nov. 8 from 4-6 p.m.

Unified Newspaper Group

The Oregon School District exceeded

expectations last year, according to the Wisconsin Department of Public Instructions
(DPI) annual report cards of public school
districts.
According to the report, the district scored
a 74.8, placing it toward the bottom tier of
the exceeds expectations category, which
ranges from 73-82.9. The grade is the
fourth-highest among 16 Dane County public school districts.
The scores are based on student achievement, student growth, closing gaps and ontrack and postsecondary readiness. Statewide, 159 of the 424 districts earned the
Exceeds Expectations level, with only
nine reaching the highest mark, Significantly Exceeds Expectations. Milwaukee Public
Schools was the only district that Fails to
Meet Expectations, according to the DPI.
State superintendent Tony Evers said in
the release the scores make districts around
the state accountable and are a good starting
point for discussions with parents and others in the community on how schools can
improve.
Most of our public schools and school
districts are providing a solid education to

Masons on Main
closes suddenly
Downtown restaurant
was open for 16 months
Bill Livick
Unified Newspaper Group

Masons on Main, the fine-dining restaurant in downtown Oregon, closed suddenly on Tuesday.
A message on the businesss
Facebook page said simply, It
was a hard decision to make, and
it saddens us deeply to announce
that Masons on Main will be
closing its [sic] doors, effective
immediately. Wed like to thank
our customers and staff for their
dedication.
The restaurant opened in late
May 2013 on South Main Street
after owners Jerry and Bonnie Thiel renovated the former
Masonic Temple (at 119 S. Main)
and the building that formerly
housed Senor Peppers Mexican

Restaurant (113. S. Main St.).

They opened a wall separating the two buildings and built a
casual bistro-style restaurant on
the north side and an upscale dining room with white linen napkins
and tablecloths in the south side.
The Thiels also own a building
on the same block at the corner of
South Main Street and Jefferson
Street that houses DeBrouxs Diner and Academy of Sound.
They often talked about their
respect for the historic buildings and reverence for the skilled
craftsmen who built them.
They painstakingly restored
the buildings over the course
of a year, prior to the opening
of Masons on Main. The north
building was constructed in 1877;
the former Masonic Temple went
up in 1898.
The Thiels didnt return the

They held numerous listening

sessions, offered Coffee with
the superintendent meetings to
talk about the referendum and
allotted time at each board meeting to listen to public comments.
They mailed out fliers, put information on their website and were
very visible about getting the
message out.
Still, in the week leading up
to the vote, several people at
an informational meeting complained they hadnt heard much
at all about the referendum.
Frankly, Im not sure how they
missed it, with articles in the
paper for weeks, fliers and signs
all over town, and quite a buzz
among the populace.
What that shows, however, is
no matter how much is done in
terms of getting the word out,
there will always be some people
who will be unreachable, because
they cant or wont listen.
With the vote just more than a
month away, Oregon School District officials and residents must
in the next few weeks be proactive in both distributing and seeking information. If nothing else,
they must eliminate the excuse
that there isnt enough information out there.
At the recent OHS homecoming parade, Jon Tanner and Andy
Weiland from the district were
passing out information on the
referendum, and school board
president Dan Krause talking to
everyone he could along the way.
Superintendent Brian Busler
recently spoke to an Oregon Area
Chamber of Commerce group on
the subject, and the district has
several upcoming open houses
and tours of schools that will be
most affected by the referendums
(see Page 1). There is also information on the district website,
oregonsd.org.
These are great opportunities

to connect, and more can and

should be found in the coming
weeks, whether its additional listening and informational sessions
around town or just popping in to
local coffee shops to meet with
residents in small groups or even
individually. Maybe a little doorto-door contact wouldnt hurt.
For residents, spending any
more money in a still-recovering
economy with the cost of living
on the rise is a tough sell. And it
likely wont get any easier.
Even though the district has
been able to maneuver financially to keep the tax rate from
going way up despite the nearly
$55 million price tag, saying
No can be appealing for those
who vote their wallet and
dont want to be bothered with
the details. But this vote will
affect the entire district for some
time, and they need to at least
ask district officials questions
tough ones if needed and find
out whether the projects will be
worth the cost to them and their
community.
Two years ago, voters turned
down a pair of Oregon School
District referendums. Many
of them said later they did so
because they were not convinced
of the need. Since then, district
officials have increased their
efforts to find out what residents
were looking for, and they have
tried to provide that in this latest
effort.
With the finish line in sight,
now is the time for a strong final
push for both sides to come
together, make sure the message
is clear and everyone knows
what the stakes are, for the good
of both the schools and district
residents.

Reverence Thyself
From ancient times it has been noticed that morality is
part of our nature. We cannot help but feel the pangs of
conscience when we have sinned and the rewards of selfapproval when we have acted justly or charitably. It is not
just that we have a conscience, but also that we have the
ability to make moral decisions. We are a law unto ourselves.
Part of what it means to be moral is that we must decide for
ourselves how to act and must take the responsibility for acting. Our conscience, which is our internal sense of right and
wrong, is almost always a perfect guide to what we should
say and do, if only we have the presence of mind to listen
to what we are telling ourselves. Of course it is possible to
override our conscience and sin, or to corrupt our conscience
by convincing ourselves that sin and vice are not really sin
and vice. But, we will pay for it when we refuse to listen to
our conscience. The pangs of conscience are impossible to
silence, and at some point we must realize that following our
conscience is the easier and better path. So, we should reverence ourselves by heeding our conscience.
Christopher Simon
For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature
do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even
though they do not have the law. They show that the work
of the law is written on their hearts, while their conscience
also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts accuse or
even excuse them.
Romans 2:14-15

Burpees for Green Beret

The Oregon High School track was the site of an unusual event on Sunday, Sept. 21. Team Cole and
the Gang, who runner members are all from southern Wisconsin, spent three hours collectively doing three miles of burpees as part of the
Burpee 5K event. One burpee consists of starting in a standing position, dropping both hands to the ground and kicking your feet back into a
pushup position, then bringing your feet toward your hands into a froglike position before broad-jumping forward. The event raises money for the
Green Beret Foundation, which provides benefits to disabled Green Berets and their families.
Cole and the Gang Burpee 5K participants included Rebekah Harms, Heidi Stewart, Emily Brzoznowski, Liz Zajicek, Rachel Wittrock and Sydney
Jackson.

to its current home in 1981.

In the summer of 2008, the
Buddhist Center added a
$6.1 million temple to its
13-acre site on Schneider
Road.
Sopa, a UW-Madison
professor emeritus of
Tibetan Buddhist studies,
was one of the most prominent and revered Buddhist
scholars and practitioners
in the U.S. He was the first
Tibetan to be tenured at an
American university and
taught at UW-Madison for
30 years.
Sopa was a close friend
of the Dalai Lama and
hosted the spiritual leader
at Deer Park on many occasions.
Another close friend was
longtime Town of Dunn
chairman Ed Minihan, who
told the Observer that Sopa
enriched American culture
by teaching coexistence
with fellow humans and the
environment.
Sopa was a committed
to peace and served on the
International Committee for
the Peace Council, an organization of religious leaders
based in Madison that promotes the peaceful resolution of differences.
Minihan said he met Sopa
about 34 years ago and had
the honor of being introduced to the Dalai Lama
as a good friend.
Wed met the Dalai
Lama several times before,
but during the dedication of
the temple he had me stand

Buddhist
Center on

Road are

up, Minihan recalled. It

was embarrassing, but I
was saved by the fact that I
dont understand Tibetan.
He could have been saying the worst things about
me and I wouldnt know,
he added, with a laugh.
Minihan noted the incongruity of an Irish Catholic
and Tibetan Buddhist being
neighbors and friends in the
Town of Dunn.
He had Deer Park and I
had the town, and we knew
what made each other tick,
Minihan observed. We
were both building something pretty unique.
Minihan recounted how
on several occasions Sopa
had brought foreign guests
and visitors to Deer Park in
his role as a representative
of UW-Madisons international program.
He said people from other
countries would invariably
ask what religions are practiced in Dunn.
Id go, Well, we have
a Lutheran Church and a
Tibetan Buddhist temple,
and so far, to a group, they
wanted to see the temple,

Minihan said.
So he (Sopa) repeatedly, with 10 minutes notice,
would have chai and cookies set up for them and
would entertain them at the
drop of a hat.
Minihan said Sopa liked
people, but more importantly, it was his way to have
people learn about Tibetan
Buddhism and what he was
doing here.
Minihan said Sopa made
education about Tibetan
Buddhism his lifes mission
and said hes left a legacy
of spreading those teachings to Americans.
He brought the teachings of Tibetan Buddhism
to the United States in a
way thats been most effective, Minihan said. Many
of the people at Deer Park
are American-born folks
who have embraced Buddhism, and I think its
because of him.
I think we have a lot of
people now who are Buddhists in the United States
and I think, at least in this
part of the country, he is
responsible for that.

Luke Mueller brings down Fort Atkinson running back Preston Strasburg Friday, Sept. 26, in a Badger South game at Fort Atkinson. The Panthers won 38-21 to become
playoff eligible for the first time since 2003.

Drought comes to an end

Panthers become playoff

eligible with 38-21 win at
Fort Atkinson
Jeremy Jones
Sports editor

Oregons offensive line continued

to dominate Friday night, opening up
holes for a Panthers ground attack
that rang up 337 yards and three
touchdowns against Badger South
rival Fort Atkinson.
Senior running back B.J. Buckner
and junior Matt Yates accounted for
295 yards and a pair of touchdowns in
the 38-21 victory over the host Blackhawks.
Our offensive line is doing a great
job working together, Oregon head
coach Dan Kissling said. We are

starting one senior and two sophomores and I think they are coming
together great.
While the Panthers have their deepest stable of running backs in recent
years, Kissling said its the O-lines
ability to adapt during games that has
been the teams key to success.
Running our offense, we really see
a lot of teams change their defense
from week-to-week to stop us, our
kids do a great job adjusting during
the game, Kissling said.
Though the Panthers are playing
about eight along the O-line, Kissling
highlighted the play of center Zach
Novotny and Jake Odegard as leaders
in the trenches.
Zach is our center, he is the one
making the right calls, our kids all
gelled and are playing well, Kissling
said.

Despite accounting for more than

1,300 yards on the ground (more than
880 in the last three games) and 22
touchdowns, Kissling acknowledged
the Panthers passing game needs to
improve if the team hopes to have the
balance needed to make a run in the
playoffs.
We really have not needed to pass
the ball and we will when we start
playing these last three games and on
into the playoffs.
Despite limited opportunities,
Kissling said junior quarterback Trent
Ricker has played very well so far this
season.
Ricker, who has connected on sixfor-21 passes for 391 yards seven
touchdowns against one interception
this season, hit Charlie Soule and
Alex Duff on scoring strikes of 6 and
25 yards Friday.

Trent is making great reads and

throwing the ball where it needs to
be, our guys are getting open, but
we have too many dropped balls in
games, Kissling said.We need to
be moreconsistentand balanced andI
think the next three games will be
huge for us with the passing game.
Fridays win made Oregon (5-1
overall, 3-1 conference) playoff eligible for the first time since 2003.
It is a big boost for our program,
Kissling said. We have stressed all
year long about our goals and our kids
have bought in. We are just taking it
one game at a time and it will fall into
place.Our stretch of Stoughton, Milton and DeForest is going to test our
kids and hopefully get us ready for the
playoff run.
Oregon hosts the rival Vikings (2-4,
2-1) at 7 p.m. Friday.

The Oregon High School

boys soccer team clinched
at least share of the Badger
South Conference title Tuesday with a 3-0 win at Fort
Atkinson.
The Panthers (11-1-1 overall, 5-0 Badger South) scored
twice in the first half to run
away with the win.
Senior Zach Rampetstreiter scored unassisted in the
12th minute and junior Zach
Hanson added a goal in the
18th minute off a corner kick
by senior midfielder Colin
Hughes.
Hughes added another
assist on a free kick in the
80th minute as junior Zach
Stone scored the goal.
Senior goalie Dan Dombrowski finished with one
save. Fort Atkinsons Caleb
Basu picked up 13.

Girls swimming

Panthers win second conference dual meet Tigersharks train with champions
Jeremy Jones
Sports editor

The Oregon girls swimming team accomplished something they hadnt done all last
season on Tuesday and won their second Badger South Conference dual meet.
The Panthers won all three relays and added
two individual wins on their way to a 95-75
victory over the host Monroe Cheesemakers.
Freshmen Carolyn Christofferson and Katie
Reisdorf were joined by senior Abby Schmitt
and junior Willow Kugel on the 200 medley
relay, which set the tone with a first-place
time of 2 minutes, 18.75 seconds.
Christofferson went on to add the 200 freestyle title in 2:27, while sophomore Grace
Przybyl turned in a meet-best 5:18.14 in the
400 free.
Oregon added relay wins by the 200 free
quartet of junior Hannah Rau, Schmitt, Christofferson and Kugel in 2:02.65 and a meet best
4:48.76 by juniors Amber Cody and Rau,
freshman Grace Roemer and Przybyl on the
400 free (4:48.76).
Tonight was a fun meet for the girls, head
coach Karissa Kruszewski said. Every girl
swam events she would not usually swim at
a dual meet.

Kruszewski continued by saying it was

great to see the girls swimming different
events.
Some of them actually surprised me with
their swims and times, she said. It was great
for the girls to mix things up and go into races
with no pressure. I am happy that we walked
away with our second win, but as a team we
are striving for more.
Finishing 1-6 overall during last seasons
dual meet season, the Panthers are 2-2 halfway through this season.
Oregons JV team rolled 87-18.

Plymouth Invitational
Christofferson, Schmitt and juniors Logan
Fahey and Kugel helped the Panthers to a
third-place finish Saturday at the Plymouth

were later joined by junior Hannah Rau to finish third on the 200 free relay in 1:49.33.
Oregon finished the meet with 303 points,
while Plymouth won the title with 423.5.
Pulaski placed second with 423.5.

John Dobrinsky
Special to the Observer

The Oregon Community Swim Club Tigersharks hosted a Fitter and Faster Swim Tour
Clinic Sunday, led by three-time Olympic
freestyler Kara Lynn Joyce, World Championships finalist and butterflyer Tom Luchsinger and UW Badger and U.S. National team
member Michael Weiss.
The clinic, entitled The Essentials of Fast
Fly and Free, focused on the training and
proper fundamentals for the butterfly and freestyle strokes, as well as the dry land training
that is essential for every swimmer to focus on
to be in peak condition for competition.
Over 120 participants from Oregon and the
upper Midwest attended the clinic. They were
trained and lectured poolside by Joyce and
Luchsinger while they watched Weiss swim
live stroke technique demonstrations in the
Oregon Pool.
Joyce and Luchsinger also demonstrated
their near-flawless strokes in the pool, and all
three champions were in the pool coaching up
participants as they worked on their drills and
skills for better stroke technique.
Participants ranged from six years old
through high school and they were able to
train and swim side by side with the champions.

again Saturday at the 77th
annual Midwest Invitational

Hughes posted a team-best
time of 21 minutes, 6 seconds

Bree Paddock continued to
regain the form that helped
her to Badger South All-Conference honors two years ago,
taking 124th place in 22:39.
Emily Zernick, meanwhile,
completed the varsity scoring
in 135th place with her time of
23:08.
Alexa Peterson and Hannah

Jeremy Jones
Sports editor

Oregon boys cross country failed to

place anyone in the top 100 at Saturdays
77th annual Midwest Invitational.
Senior Josh Christensen once again led
the way for the Panthers, finishing 112th
at the Blackhawk Golf Course in Janesville with a time of 18 minutes, 6 seconds.
Teammate Ryan Barry came across the finish line in 130th place in 18:22.
Oregons final three runners finished
with 13 seconds of one another, but the
pace wasnt enough to help the Panthers
best rivals Monroe or Stoughton.

Sophomore Morgan Ballesteros (18:44)

led Ben Janes (18:47) and Ben Vogt
(18:57) to the 5K-finish line. Joshua Klahn
and Izaac Nelson both competed on varsity, but did not score.
Madison La Follette dominated the meet
behind the second-place finish of Finn
Gessner. The Lancers placed their five varsity scorers in the top 15 to finish with 41
points 85 ahead of runner-up Arrowhead.
Middleton rounded out the top three with
145. Oregon (747) finished 28th out of the
37 schools.
The Panthers travel to Stoughton for the
Vikings annual invitational at 9 a.m. Saturday.

Girls golf sectionals are Tuesday
The Oregon High School girls golf team
hosted regionals at Foxboro Golf Club on
Wednesday, but results could not make
the Observers Tuesday deadline.
Sectionals are at 9 a.m. Tuesday,
Oct. 7, at Pleasant View Golf Course.
First-ranked Verona and second-ranked

Middleton are expected to make it through

regionals to make it tough for any team to
make state, but junior Jenny Johnson and
sophomore Taylor McCorkle look to be in
the mix for individual spots. Senior Ashley Brechlin and junior Olivia Davis will
also be at sectionals if the Panthers can
make it through regionals as a team.

Tobacco harvest
There are numerous tobacco farms in the Oregon area. This is a postcard from August 1917 of an early
tobacco farmer in Rutland, Adolph Johnson. He had 16 acres of tobacco. In 1933, the USDA implemented the Agricultural Adjustment Act and this affected four crops in Wisconsin tobacco, wheat and
the corn, hog programs. Tobacco farmers were required to reduce the acreage to 50 percent and were
paid $33-35 per acre for the land taken out of production.

Gooze: Spent two years in Togo with Peace Corps teaching agricultural practices
Continued from page 1

Fitting in

land in West Africa wedged

between Ghana, Benin and
Burkina Faso.
As a Peace Corps volunteer, Gooze lived and
worked in a Muslim village
of about 2,000 inhabitants,
where people spoke virtually no English. He communicated in French (a second
language for him and his
hosts), and taught villagers
how to raise honeybees and
harvest honey.
He also helped people
improve animal husbandry skills raising chickens
and generally helped out
in agricultural fields in his
free time.
Living in a remote village without running water
or electricity let alone an
Internet connection meant
Gooze had plenty of free
time.
It really helped that I
played soccer, the universal language, he said during an interview with the
Observer last month. It
was amazing. We had so
little in common in terms
of religion, background,
education and language. I
learned that its not so hard
to fit in with people who are
so different.
Luckily, they were very
open to talking with me and
accepting me.

Once he arrived in Togo,

Gooze was fortunate to
quickly meet a work partner, a roughly 60-year-old
man, who became his closest friend.
He was somebody in
the community who was
respected and worked hard,
and he could read and
write, Gooze explained.
He would help translate
and he was very, very welcoming. Having him really
helped me integrate into the
community.
Gooze joined the man
and his family most evenings for a meal and spent
most days in his company,
as well.
He said the people of
Kemeni accepted him with
ease. It helped that the
Peace Corps had previously
sent a volunteer to the village and that he was a
soccer player and also had
a guitar.
In his free time, when he
wasnt helping the locals in
their fields, Gooze would
watch or join in the frequent village dances. That
was a main form of entertainment, which Gooze
characterized as second
nature to his hosts.
There was not much to do
with free time except play
soccer or dance outside.
I was the white man who
played soccer, he remembered, with a laugh.
Gooze said life in Togo is
hard. The work is physical,
the food bland and the heat
exhausting.
The reward, from his perspective, came in what he
learned from the two-year
experience.
I learned that we are all
kind of similar, he reflected. I look at that experience and its like I was in
the ultimate extreme of
different cultures, but we
can still laugh and have the
same kind of understanding.
Africas not as scary as
people think, he added. I
know that Ebola is scaring
people, but its not in Togo.
Really, the world isnt as
bad as we all think it is.

Peace Corps volunteer

Gooze, 26, is an Oregon
High School graduate who
earned a bachelors degree
in political science at the
University of Oregon in
Eugene, Ore., in 2012.
Even before his college
graduation, he began the
year-long process of being
accepted into the Peace
Corps.
When the organization
asked where he was willing to go, he replied, anywhere.
Initially he was assigned
to live and work in Mali, a
large country in northwest
Africa. He was reassigned
after the Malian government was overthrown in a
coup.
I said Id still like to go
to West Africa, and a Francophone country, so they
asked if Id like to go to

Photos submitted

Above, in the village of Kemeni, dancing is like second nature to the people, and a main form of recreation. Below, village women and
children at work.

Togo, Gooze recalled. I

said, Why not? I had to
look it up on the map again
to figure out exactly where
it was.
He left the United States
in July 2012 and was sworn
in as a Peace Corps volunteer on Sept. 6.
He called it definitely
the coolest, craziest experience of my life.
Im still trying to figure
out exactly what Im taking
from it, Gooze said.

Prayer and jokes

After a couple months
training, Gooze arrived in
Kemeni, a small village in
central Togo. He lived in a
two-room house it was
about as small as a twobedroom house can get
and began learning how to
live off the grid, without
phone service or electricity.
Like the rest of the village, he had to haul water
from a communal well.
One of the most immediate things that Gooze had
to adjust to after arriving
in Kemeni was the Islamic
call to prayer, or adhan,
which happens five times a
day.
My house was right
next to a mosque, so every
morning at around 4:30
they had the call to prayer
in a little battery-powered

microphone, he recalled.
It took a while to get
used to, but eventually I just
woke up when they did the
call to prayer. I always had
to sleep outside because it
was too hot to sleep inside.
So Id wake up, go inside
and sleep another hour and
get up by 5:30 or 6.
Another adjustment
what some might call culture shock stemmed from
the fact that Gooze was the
only Caucasian within
40-some square miles.
Another volunteer was
about four hours away.
You get there and you
realize that, as a white guy,
everyones staring at you,
he explained. That was the
biggest thing to get used to
just the attention at every
single moment of every single day.
He clarified that in Kemeni, where people knew him,
that unending attention was
different.
There, they would still
be very happy to see me,
and I felt like a celebrity
everywhere I walked, and
Id be waving to people,
he said.
It was more awkward in
cities.
Complete strangers
almost assumed that they
could come up to you and
just start talking in a weird

way like, Oh, white man,

how are you, white man?
Would you buy me a gift?
Gooze said. Thats very
acceptable in their culture.
Its kind of like all for one,
or a whats yours is mine
kind of idea.
Their thinking was
that if youre a white man,
youre a European and
youre rich, and you can
give me something.
Gooze said it took a
while to understand that it

was also a joking culture.

I mean, somebody
would say, Hey, are you
going to take me to America? And I would say, if
you buy the plane, I would
take you to America.
He said just learning how
to exist in the culture was
one of the biggest challenges. That was more difficult
because he could communicate with people in French,
a second language for both
parties.

SENIOR CARE

Q. Is your elder in pain and taking prescribed medicine such as Vicodin or Percocet?
A. Many of these prescription pain medications have Acetaminophen (Tylenol) in them. Make sure your elder does

Stephen Rudolph
FACHE, CSA

not take Extra Strength Tylenol (Acetaminophen) with this medication. Unknowingly, acetaminophen overdose is
actually the leading cause for calls to Poison Control Centers across the US-more than 100,000 instances per yearand, each year, is responsible for:
More than 56,000 emergency room visits
2,600 hospitalizations
An estimated 458 deaths due to acute liver failure
According to data from the Acute Liver Failure Study Group registry, acetaminophen
poisoning is responsible for nearly HALF of ALL acute liver failure cases in the U.S.!
When used in proper dosage, acetaminophen is an effective and safe medication. Be sure to ask your doctor about
ALL your medications before deciding to take any other types of pain medicines, including Acetaminophen.
However, there are instances where its use can become dangerous, especially if used excessively or in amounts
higher than the recommended dosage. The more your elder is informed about medications, the better their chances
are of maintaining good health and safety.

VETERINARIAN

Q. Why do I need to bring my indoor, healthy cat to the veterinarian?

A. Annual check ups are important for everyone. Cats hide illnesses very well,

and they are exposed to diseases such as rabies and heartworm disease even
inside your home, needing protection. Dental disease leads to painful infections
for cats, and how often are you able to check all their teeth safely and thoroughly
at home? It can be hard. Your veterinarian can detect problems early on and
work with you to prolong the healthy life of your cat. Ask us how to make your
cats trip to the office less stressful for you and your feline family.
