Engineering for Perry Parkway extension

planned next year
Bill Livick
Unified Newspaper Group

Village officials are planning lots of street improvements in the next few years,
including resurfacing of
streets in Tax-Increment
Finance District 2 near the
Alpine Business Park next
year.
Streets included in the
district are Netherwood
Street, East Richards Road,
Braun Street and Market
Street.
During its budget meetings, the Village Board
approved more than
$600,000 in funding for
engineering and street
improvements next year.
Among projects scheduled
is the south end of Janesville Street. The village and
county will share the cost
of improvements on Janesville Street in and around the
Wolfe Street intersection.
As reported in the Observer
two weeks ago, the village
will split the cost of two
sections of the street and
pay for a third section itself.
The Village Board approved
$90,000 in the 2015 budget
for the work.
At about the same time,
the City of Fitchburg and
Dane County will share the
cost of fixing sections of
County MM north of the
village.
When the State Highway
Department constructed the
roundabouts on MM last
year, it left about 50 yards

to the north and 150 yards

to the south of the roundabouts in decrepit condition, said Oregon Trustee
Jerry Bollig, whos also
a member of the County
Board of Supervisors.
Hed been
trying to
convince
the County
Board and
the City of
Fitchburg
to allocate funds
Bollig
to improve
those segments of MM since he was
elected supervisor in 2012.
He was able to get funding for the repairs in the
county budget his first year
on the board, which was
voted down on the floor,
Bollig said.
The funding was
approved in both the City of
Fitchburg and county budgets for 2015.
There were a lot of new
people who didnt know
what was going on and felt
it wasnt fair that Fitchburg wasnt paying their
share, Bollig explained.
And so weve been kind of
softly talking with staff and
(Fitchburg mayor)Shawn
Pfaff and were able to convince them to fund it.
They deserve thanks
because their residents
dont really use that section
of MM very much, Bollig

was right- or left-handed.
Depending on the style of
apron, the pockets could be
used to hold clothespins,
eggs or cleaning supplies.

Lynn Lokken holds up an old apron in the shape of a

rabbit that would have been pinned on a young child.
The program ended with a poem about apron uses.

Above right, Viola Ellis looks closely at an apron before passing it to Marge
Farris. Some aprons at the program were made by tatting or crocheting,
and others were made from handkerchiefs, dishrags and patchwork quilts.

Former Eagle Scouts body found in Rockies

Jeffris made it to the peak;
search lasted four days

A rough patch of road along Hwy. MM is slated to be repaired next

year. Other sections of road around Oregon are due for repair, as well.

Officials found a former Oregon

Eagle Scouts body in the Rocky
Mountains after an extended search
Thursday.
Peter Jeffris, 25, lived in Oregon but attended and graduated
from Edgewood High School. He
moved to Colorado in 2007 and
graduated from the University of

Colorado-Boulder in
May with a major in
mechanical engineering and a computer
programming minor.
Jeffris attained an
Eagle Scout rank
in 2007 and was
also honored as the Jeffris
United Way of Dane
Countys 2007 Community Youth
Service Award winner for his work
at the Oregon/Brooklyn Habitat for
Humanity.
Officials had been searching for
Jeffris since Monday, Nov. 17,

when he failed to show up for work,

according to a news release from
the National Park Service. Jeffris,
who resided in the Denver suburb of
Broomfield, had left Sunday morning to climb Longs Peak, about 50
miles away, but it was unclear which
route he planned to take, according
to the release.
Peters father Malcolm Jeffris told
the Observer his son had reached
Longs Peak Sunday evening just
after 4:30 but ran into trouble on the
way down on a trail another hiker

When it comes to volunteering in and around the

Oregon area, it doesnt get
any better than Nina Noyce
and Irene Draper.
The dynamic duo was
honored last month by
RSVP of Dane County at
its 42nd annual Volunteer
Appreciation event at Madison Turner Hall. They
were among 21 county residents recognized for volunteering 20 years with the
group.
Noyce, who has been
volunteering in Oregon for
more than 37 years, first
got into the act by delivering meals to older adults
in their homes. She was a
founding member of the
Oregon Council on Aging
and served 20 years as a
crossing guard for the Oregon School District.
These days, shes devoting more time to the Oregon Senior Center, which

down. Noyce can often
be found helping out at the
reception desk, where she
said she enjoys the communication and camaraderie with others.
Draper, an Oregon
Senior Center volunteer,
has witnessed the growth
of the facility and spirit of
volunteering in the Oregon
community, remembering
when all senior activities
were held at the Oregon
Village Hall until the new

f a c i l ity was
built in
1980. She
juggles
plenty of
activities at the
center:
Draper
delivering senior
meals,
assisting in the kitchen,
processing newsletters,
working at the reception
desk and whatever else she
can help out with.
Draper said volunteering has a three-fold effect:
helping seniors, assisting
staff and personal satisfaction.
There is always something to do at the center,
and people to meet, she
said.

There will be mill and overlay

Gracz said if money allows,
the village will also mill and

goal is to get the major streets
that need major repair done first
and then go after the Perry Parkway extension. If that transfer
of jurisdiction happens in 2020

that all the roads are in good
shape before we take them.

added. I understand their reluctance but certainly appreciate

the fact that they put in $50,000
to do that road.
Bollig also lobbied village
staff and the Village Board to
work out a cost-sharing agreement for the work on Janesville
Street next year.
Village officials met with two
representatives from the County
Executive Joe Parisis office
and the highway staff in the past
couple of weeks to talk about
Janesville Street, along with
starting the process of negotiations over the future transfer of
jurisdiction to the village of current county roads: Main Street,
Janesville Street and Jefferson
Street.
Per state law, once the county
reaches a population of 500,000
it has the option to transfer ownership of sections of its roads
that are within the municipality.
The county and the village
agreed we would wait until after
the holidays to start the negotiations on the long-term part of
it, Gracz said.
Much of the 2015 street
improvement funding will go
toward engineering work, which
will set the stage for on-theground work in 2016 and 17.
Engineering will be performed
for the reconstruction of North
Burr Oak Avenue from Jefferson Street to Badfish Creek,
reconstruction of Elm Street
and South Main Street and for

Royce Rogers

Royce L. Rogers, age 84,

of Oregon, passed away on
Friday, Nov. 21, 2014, at
St. Marys Hospital. He was
born on July
19, 1930, in
Madison, the
son of Clyde
and Wilma (Ward) Rogers.
He was united in marriage to Eileen McGaw and
together they raised five
boys. Royce later met and
married his soul mate, Judy
Kleven.
Royce enlisted in the U.S.
Navy, serving his country from 1949 to 1950. He
enjoyed softball, coaching
and camping. However, the
greatest joy for Royce was
spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren.
Royce is survived by

seven children, Randy

(Jean) Rogers, Ronnie Rogers (Debbie Greene), Rick
(Cheryl) Rogers, Robin
Bud (Lisa) Rogers, Russell (Angie) Rogers, Deb
(Dan) Crapp and Ken
(Bette) Kleven; 16 grandchildren; 20 great-grandchildren; and a brother, Pat
(Carole) Rogers; along with
numerous other relatives
and friends.
He was preceded in
death by his parents; wives,
Eileen and Judy; five brothers, Jim, Jack, Tom, Bob
and Dick; one sister, Mary;
step-daughter, Brenda; and
grandchildren, Donnie and
Samantha.
Memorial services were
held at Gunderson Oregon
Funeral Home, 1150 Park
St., Oregon, on Tuesday,
Nov. 25, 2014, with the
Rev. Bob Groth presiding.
A private burial of cremated remains will be held at
Prairie Mound Cemetery at
a later date. Royces family would like to thank the
staff at St. Marys Hospital
and the New Glarus Home

Idolatry
Idolatry is usually thought of as the worship of idols, idols
being things or forms which are not God. Idolatry can take
many forms, from worshipping creatures rather than the
Creator, to worshipping an image.
The original Greek word, eidololatres, is a simple combination of two Greek words, eidos, meaning form, and
latreia, meaning service, suggesting that the term originally
entailed worshipping (or serving) an image or form.
For whatever reason, human beings are strangely disposed to this grave sin, perhaps because we are material
beings and our minds and hearts are so easily drawn to
images and material things which can then seem by their
power or beauty to be divine.
The history of the early Israelites is replete with examples
of idolatry, most notably the worship of the golden calf
in the 32nd chapter of Exodus, but also earlier in Genesis
31:19, where we are informed When Laban had gone to
shear his sheep, Rachel stole her fathers household gods.
Household gods is a translation of the Hebrew word
teraphim and in this passage there is barely a hint of
Gods disapproval. In Exodus 32, however, three-thousand
of the Israelites were struck down by the sword for their sin
of worshipping the golden calf. Shortly thereafter the Lord
struck the people with a plague
because of what they did with the calf Aaron had made.
(Exodus 32:35) We would all do well to remember Gods
first commandment.
Christopher Simon
You shall have no other gods before me.
Exodus 20:3

Boys basketball

Oregon
brings back
experience,
athleticism
Anthony Iozzo
Assistant sports editor

The Oregon High School

boys basketball team brings
back seven of 13 letterwinners from last season and
expects to use an inside-outside approach to challenge
other Badger South contenders, head coach Jon Nedelcoff said.
Nedelcoff said the Panthers
return athleticism and experience, and they will need it in
one of the tougher defensive
conferences in the state.
The question will be outside shooting, communication and size off the bench,
Nedelcoff wrote in a preview.
Being able to handle a new
rule change in regards to how
a defender can play against
a ballhandler/dribbler could
also prove important in the
physical Badger South, especially early in the season.
It will now be a foul if a
defender 1) touches a ballhandler/dribbler with two
hands, 2) extends its forearm
on a ballhandler/dribbler, 3)
places and keeps a hand on
the ballhandler/dribbler or 4)
contacts a ballhandler/dribbler more than once with the
same or alternating hands.
Referees have been
instructed to watch for these
fouls closely this season.
Oregons returning core is
led by senior Markus Tobias,
who averaged 9 points per
game (PPG) and 8 rebounds
per game (RPG) last season. Senior Josh Sromovsky
is also back. He averaged 5
PPG and 4 RPG in an injuryshortened season.
Seniors Mitch Morhoff
(4 PPG) and Peter Kissling
(3 PPG) and juniors Charlie Soule (3 PPG, 2 RPG)
and Alex Duff (3 PPG) also
return this season.

Senior defender Spencer Pearson was named as a First Eleven member for the 2014 Wisconsin Soccer Coaches Association All-State team; (below) senior midfielder Colin
Hughes made it as an honorable mention.

Panthers get All-State nods

Pearson named to First Eleven,
Hughes earns honorable mention
Anthony Iozzo
Assistant sports editor

Seniors Spencer Pearson and Colin Hughes were

both named to the All-State team by the Wisconsin
Soccer Coaches Association.
Pearson was a standout defender and captain for
the Panthers, and he earned a designation on the
First Eleven, the equivalent to first-team All-State.
Pearson helped anchor an Oregon defense that
only allowed seven goals in 21 games, as the
Panthers (17-2-2 overall) made state for the third
straight season.
It is just a great honor to have, Pearson said.
Oregon has been great, and I love hanging out
with those guys. I have been extremely blessed my
entire career.
It was difficult for Pearson to receive an individual award as he said it couldnt have been done
with the rest of the team, and it was his time at Oregon that was truly special for him, especially without the success the Panthers had during Pearsons
career.
We put Oregon soccer back on the map, he
said. I wouldnt have wanted to play anywhere
else. We are all excited how we got to state, and
now it has become an expectation. I think that is

cool because four years ago nobody would have

guessed we would make it to state.
Hughes was named to the Best of the Rest section as a midfielder, the equivalent to an honorable
mention. Hughes was a key passer and scoring
threat for the Oregon offense, picking up five goals
and 14 assists.
Hughes had a goal and four assists on the Panthers run to state.
It is very cool and a special feeling, Hughes
said. It is also cool to be on the team with Spencer.
It was helpful for me to be on such a great team.
Sometimes, they made me look really good, and
that helped me get that award.
Both Pearson and Hughes hope to continue to
play soccer at the collegiate level, but neither player
has decided officially yet.
The other 10 players that made the First Eleven
All-State were Brookfield East senior forward
Peter Raymonds (Player of the Year), Kenosha
Tremper senior forward Jamie Colin, Marquette
University High School junior forward Alec Phillipe, Eau Claire Memorial senior forward Marcus
Wollak, Brookfield East senior midfielder Winston Markusse, Marquette senior midfielder Samson DAmato, Kettle Moraine senior midfielder
Brandon Strobel, Brookfield Central senior
defender Johnny Dusing, Madison Memorial
senior defender Teon Fountain and Brookfield
East senior goalie Drew Johnson.

Rosemeyer, Leah Koopman and Cassidy Nikolai.

It is a new era for the Oregon

High School girls basketball team
as head coach Corey Sielaff begins
her second year on the sidelines.
The Panthers return six of 13 letterwinners from last season, including three starters, but they will have
to adjust to the loss of Division I
recruit Maddy Gits, who led the
team in scoring and was key on
defense.
But even with a younger team

with seven underclassmen and

only five upperclassmen Sielaff
said the team can develop into a
contender for the Badger South
Conference crown if it can use its
speed, team defense and do so with
discipline.
If we can be disciplined, especially with the new rule changes,
and play tough defense, we will be
able to go a long way, she said.
The new rule changes Sielaff
mentioned are significant ones as
they change the way a defender can
interact with a ballhandler/dribbler.

It will now be a foul if a defender

1) touches a ballhandler/dribbler with two hands, 2) extends its
forearm on a ballhandler/dribbler,
3) places and keeps a hand on the
ballhandler/dribbler or 4) contacts a
ballhandler/dribbler more than once
with the same or alternating hands.
The referees have been ordered
to watch for these fouls closely, so
it is expected to be a challenging
adjustment for players and teams
for the start of the season.
But there are veterans coming

Boys dominate in Tigershark Pentathlon meet

The Oregon Community
Swim Club (OCSC) hosted
its annual Fall Pentathlon
swim meet at the Oregon
Community Pool Nov. 1.
Swim clubs from all over
Wisconsin sent swimmers
to compete in the age division meet.
Oregon Tigershark boys
dominated single-age competition in the pool.
Hunter Dobrinsky, 9, won
the 9-year-old boys division
with 85 points, while Spencer Stluka, 9, finished third
with 43 points.
Nik Achtziger, 11, won
the 11-year-old boys division with 82 points, while
Collin Braatz, 13, won his
division with 83 points.
Oregon High School

Arnold, 7, second place;
Dan Heiser, 7, third place;
Finnley Conklin, 8, second place; Isabella Block,
9, third place; and Jenna
Dobrinsky, 12, third place.
In a pentathlon meet,
swimmers compete in up
to five individual events
and the top 16 swimmers
get points for their finish.
The cumulative points a
swimmer generates across
five events are totaled, and

standings are then generated within age groups.

Swimmers ranged from 17
to 5 years old, while high
school girls could not compete as their WIAA season
was still underway at the
time of the meet.
High school boys could
compete in the swim meet
as their WIAA season had
not started at the time of the
meet.

coach of the Oregon Tigersharks. Deb Bossingham is

Oregon boys hockey enters

the 2014-15 season with several questions. Chief among
them: Where will goals come
from this year?
Leading scorers Jackson Schneider (18 goals, 16
assists) and Nick Strycharske
(7G, 26A) led the Panthers to
a 13-11-1 finish last season,
(7-3-0 conference). Junior
defenseman Tommy Hill
(12G, 5A) would have been
the teams leading returning
scorer, but he chose to play
with the Madison Capitols
this season.
Senior forward and captain
Joey Andriacci returns as
the Panthers leading scorer
with seven goals and 11
assists. Junior forward Dylan
Ziomek (6G, 4A) and senior
forwards Collin Hughes (5G,
12A) and Alex Robson (5G,
9A) round out the top offensive threats.
The Panthers have no
room for error in net this

season as sophomore Henry

Roskos returns as the teams
only goaltender. He posted
a 4-2 record last season.
Roskos posted a 2.17 goals
against average last year with
a shut out and an .897 save
percentage.
Senior defensemen Nate
Anderson (3G, 13A) and
Cole Hefty (3G, 7A) have
been named alternate captains. They, along with fellow senior defenseman
Collin Bundy (3G, 7A) and
sophomore defenseman
Lucas Hefty (5A), should
give the Panthers a solid blue
line.
With several questions on
the ice, Oregon head coach
Rick Fleming said Madison
Edgewood should once again
be the top team in the conference because of the Crusaders returning and incoming
players. Despite losing the
states top point getter and
second leading goal scorer
in Zachary Johnston and
twin brother Travis, Fleming
said he also expects Monona

Grove to be near the top.

MG should be another
top team as the loss of the
Johnston twins will allow
others to be more accountable, Fleming said.
The last spot in the conference is up for grabs between
Stoughton, Monroe and the
Panthers. Newcomer Milton joins the Badger South
for the firs time this winter,
replacing McFarland.
Oregon played at ninthranked Madison Memorial
in a game that did not make
the Observers Thanksgiving
Day deadline. See Connec
tOregonWi.com for a recap.
The Panthers return to action
Tuesday, Dec. 2, at home
against DeForest. Oregon
hosts Appleton East (Dec.
5) and returning state champion and pre-season favorite
Verona (Dec. 9) the following week.
Oregon opens the Badger
South season Dec. 9 at home
against Milton before traveling to Monona Grove a week
later.

Icebergs go winless in Waupun

Jeremy Jones
Sports editor

The Icebergs dropped the

puck on the 2014-15 winter season, losing twice and
tying at the Early Bird tournament in Waupun over the
weekend.
Stoughton bookended a
2-1 loss against Fond du Lac
and 5-1 defeat at the hands of
Northland Pines around a 1-1
tie against Appleton United.
The Icebergs, who were
outscored 8-3 for the tournament, did not net a third
period goal.
Freshman forward Sydney
Urso scored two of the teams

three goals. Junior defenseman Maddy Hess scored

the seasons first goal on the
power play. She also added
an assist over the weekend.
The Icebergs allowed a
pair of short-handed goals,
including the game winner in
the opening game to Warbird
Kendalynn Acheson.
Stoughton pulled its goalie
with 1:30 left in the game for
the extra attacker. Though
they managed six shots over
that span, they were unable to
come up with an equalizer.
Urso and Appleton Uniteds Natalie West exchanged
goals in the first period of
what Jochmann called a great

back-and-forth game. Neither team was able to find the

back of the net again, however, as Torpy stopped 35 shots
on goal and Appleton netminder Emily Fischer turned
away 18 of 19.
Torpy, who turned away 49
of 54 shots against Northland
Pines on Saturday afternoon,
finished the weekend with a
2.55 goals against average
and .937 save percentage.

baskets, a silent auction and
vendor booths for those who
prefer to shop in addition to
catching some great hockey.
An off-ice skills competition
is also planned with individual
awards for skills like hardest
shot or most accurate shooting.
Oregons own Bantam B
team enters the tournament as
a strong contender.They are

unbeaten and have scored 26

goals to their opponents four.
Goalie Carson FurnissSmedley has recorded two
shutouts in five games. The
potent Panthers offense is

goals), while Matt Rusch
(4G, 4A) is highest in average
points in only three games.
Alex Barnish and Max

defense that has a 0.8 goalsagainst average.

back for Oregon, which

Sielaff expects to help the
younger players progress
throughout the season.
Senior Riley Rosemeyer
returns as the Oregon defensive player of the year. She
was also the leading rebounder and one of the better passers in the area, Sielaff wrote in
a preview.
Starting point guard Kelsey
Jahn, who Sielaff called the
heart of the team, also
returns.
Junior Leah Koopman is
back to help the outside shooting, but she also developed
driving techniques over the
summer to make her more
versatile.
Junior Cassidy Nikolai is
also a key returner, as she is
expected to take on an even
bigger role this year. Nikolai,
who started all 24 games last
season, also worked in the
summer to better her game.
Raegan Tervort is also back
from last season.
Some newcomers to the
varsity team, both of whom
are expected to play a significant role off the bench, are
sophomore Danica Kiesling
who was brought up to varsity
at the end of last season and
freshman Ellen McCorkle.
Kiesling is a long player
for defense but can also use
her speed to get to the basket.
McCorkle is going to play
in the post and will be used
to help Oregon score in the
paint.
It will be fun to see how
the young kids develop and
the returners lead them to
victory, Sielaff said. We
are going to be smaller than
last year but faster and a little
deeper on the bench.
Besides Gits, the Panthers Barneveld 67, Oregon 48

Jeffris: Those who knew him will remember his energy, brilliance and adventuring spirit
Continued from page 1
had died on earlier this year.
It took him eight hours,
but he made it to the peak,
Malcolm said over the phone
Monday. Once he set a goal
he was unstoppable.
One of those goals earlier
in his life was becoming an
Eagle Scout, a process that
requires hours of hard work
and a multitude of skills to
acquire the necessary badges.
For many, its unlikely
theyd love to do it all over
again. But that would have
been perfect for Peter, his
parents said.
When he got his Eagle
badge that was just his
pride and joy, Malcolm said.
Jeffris former Boy Scout
troop leader Tim Lebrun,
who worked with him from
2003-2007, said taking on
a challenging climb fit with
Jeffris adventurous spirit.
It didnt surprise me that

he had gone out hiking and

climbing. It didnt surprise
me that he was going to take
on a challenge that most
people wouldnt have taken
on, Lebrun said in a phone
interview with the Observer
on Monday. It did surprise
me that he didnt come back.
Weather, including extreme
winds and below freezing temperatures, posed a challenge
for the search team through
Wednesday, but calmer winds
Thursday allowed for the use
of a helicopter, which located
Jeffris body, according to the
release.
If it had been about the
weather, that he got caught in
bad weather, I definitely feel
he couldve survived that,
Lebrun said, recalling building emergency and snow
shelters with Jeffris.
The Boulder County Coroners office had not determined a cause of death as of

Monday.
After the helicopter located the body Thursday, four
search-and-rescue team members were flown to a landing
spot and climbed approximately 1,800 vertical feet to
the body, the release said.

Changing lives
His time in scouts, with
both Lebrun and another
troop leader, Doug Brethauer, made a huge difference
in his life, Peters mother
Jeanne Jeffris said.
During those scouting
years, though, he also spent
time working with Habitat for
Humanity, building duplexes
and finding relationships that
were important at that time in
his life, his mother said.
It was a really special
group and they just took
Peter on and really made
him feel valuable, she said.
He had just lost both his

grandfathers at that point, so

they acted kind of like surrogate grandparents to him.
It became an even greater
experience when he got to
meet the family that moved
into a duplex hed helped
construct.
That was one of the highlights of his life. Jeanne
said. Not only did he have a
blast with the entire Oregon
Habitat for Humanity and
learned a lot from them about
how to build, but he was
actually doing something
really, really valuable in giving somebody who needed it
their own home.
Lebrun cited Jeffris
energy brilliance and
his adventuring spirit as
the dominating qualities he
remembers.
Hes someone who
always pushed himself
well beyond people around
him, Lebrun said.

Hands-on guy
Lebrun said that self-motivation was demonstrated by
Jeffris work at a robotics
company in Colorado, doing
cutting-edge stuff. The
main project he was working
on at Altius Robotics, Malcolm said, was a robotic arm
to go to the space station and
pick up rocks from asteroids.
Peter was the brightest, sharpest and most hardworking of all those interns,
Malcolm said of what Peters
bosses at Altius have told
him, adding that he would
have soon been offered a fulltime job with the company.
Peter was not at all into the
money side of things. Hes
just into knowledge and creating things.
Malcolm said he also
loved disassembling and
reassembling things, including his Suzuki motorcycle,
spread out in pieces in his

apartment, and his Jeep

Wrangler, which he did all of
his own work on.
He was a very hands-on
kind of guy, Malcolm said,
laughing as he said hed have
to get the Jeep checked out
before driving it back to be
safe.
As of Monday afternoon,
more than 250 people had
joined a Facebook group in
memory of Peter, with photos and tales of his adventures
and his love for building filling up the page.
Lebrun said Jeffris death
was a loss for everyone.
Its just unfortunate that
great things arent going to
happen because he isnt going
to do them, he said with an
emotional crack in his voice.
He just was a great kid.

or offering memorials for
Peter, see the obituary on
