The last thing Nicki Wagner remembered about the

pleasant early fall morning
of Oct. 1, 2015, was stepping out of her car with some
groceries in the parking lot
outside Gorman and Co. The
next thing she knew, she was
on a hospital bed in Madison,
wondering what happened.
That was Oct. 18.
In between, there were
a lot of events for family,
friends and doctors to fill her
in on including the fact that

actions of Oregon and Madison EMTs.

Wagner doesnt remember
the folks who helped save
her life after she was found
sprawled out on the concrete,
without a pulse or breath. But
on Friday, she got a chance
to meet and thank those who
were involved in her rescue
in a ceremony a day ahead
of an annual county event
honoring survivors of cardiac
arrest and the first responders
who helped save their lives.
The day of the incident,
Wagner, an Evansville
resident who was working
at Gorman and Co. at the
time, was heading into work
with a bag of potatoes she
planned to bake in the companys kitchen for a potluck
meal for her sons soccer
team. She usually parked in

The Village Board has

taken some additional steps
to curtail sales of alcohol to
underage buyers.
The board decided Feb.
8 to begin citing businesses
that fail two alcohol-sales
compliance checks in a
12-month rolling period.
The board also directed
village attorney Matt Dregne
to draft a policy that includes
the possibility of a license
suspension for the agent
holding the liquor license if a
pattern of compliance violations is detected.
This goes back to our
emphasis on accountability
and reducing underage drinking, said Village President
Steve Staton. Every year at
license renewal time, agents
have to sign off that they
have done a review training
of all their employees about
the appropriate way to sell

alcohol so they dont sell to

underage drinkers.
The new policy is the latest in a series of steps the
board has taken to reduce
alcohol consumption, especially relating to underage
drinking.
Staton said it is in part a
result of the Oregon Police
Departments last compliance checks, about six
months ago when nine businesses failed the test. It
was the first time the police
department didnt tell businesses in advance it would be
conducting random compliance checks.
OPD conducts the checks
by sending underage buyers to businesses that sell
alcohol. If a server doesnt
check for an ID and sells
to an underage buyer, that
server is are issued a citation.
Under the new policy, a second failed compliance check

the company lot, but by the
time she arrived around 7:30
in the morning, it was full,
so she instead parked at the
public lot a half block away,
in front of the Oregon Fire
Department/EMS building.
The last thing she remembered was getting out of her
car with the bag of potatoes,
she told the Observer. Wagner had suffered a cardiac
arrest, and collapsed, unconscious, in the parking lot.
When I fell, so did the
bag, and (the potatoes)
went everywhere, she said.

showed up, he was like,

this type of outcome, hopefully, he said. We have a great
working relationship with
(Madison EMS). Every time
we meet up, it just kind of
meshes and we work hand in
hand and youd never know
the uniforms were different.
Antoniewicz said a variety of Oregon EMS personnel helped out on the call,
including himself, Steven
Woodstock, Lisa Antoniewicz, Mike Venden, Adam
King, Mlnarick, Tom Eithun
and Alex Crandall. They
were later assisted by Madison EMT/firefighters Bob
Wallace and Aaron Babcock,
who provided additional
medications and drove Wagner to the hospital.
Speaking after Fridays

lots of hugs, smiles and
laughs, Wagner reflected on
the incident, and how lucky
she was that she ended up

some including a few Oregon and Madison EMTs.
Lots of miracles happened that day, Wagner
said.

New life
When Wagner finally
regained consciousness in
the hospital more than two
weeks later a nurse asked
her what date it was.
I threw a date out there
and they said, Well, its
the 18th, she said, noting that her husband and
son were with her throughout the ordeal. For them,
it was the harder part; I was
unconscious. Apparently I
had been responsive a few
days before, but I just dont
recall.
Wagner, who has a history
of atrial fibrillation (AFib)
essentially an irregular

heartbeat was later shocked

to find out she had a cardiac
arrest.
(AFib) is very different
than what caused the cardiac
arrest, she said. I was thinking it was related to my heart
history, but I didnt realize
how serious it was until I was
told where I was, which was
UW (Hospital). I was like, I
normally go to St. Marys, so
why am I at UW?
Doctors installed a defibrillator in her chest to shock
her heart back into a normal
rhythm if she ever has another similar incident.
Hopefully it doesnt have
to work for me, Wagner
said. It does also pace my
heart, because the medication you take after something
like that slows your heart
down so its not working so
much.
Wagner, who joked that
she made the circuit of
Madison hospitals, as she
was initially taken to St.
Marys and then UW Hospital before finishing her rehabilitation at Meriter Hospital,

Happy memories
Antoniewicz said the Oregon EMS team wont soon
forget how they helped save
a life that was perhaps minutes from ebbing away.
Its one of those goals
you hope to have in your
career, he said. It doesnt
happen often, and we hope
not to have these calls ever,
but thats what we do train
for.
Mlarnik said it was good

for his EMTs to be able to

meet Wagner Friday and talk
about the incident.
Sometimes we dont
always get to hear what
happens at the end, and its
always nice when somebody can come in and tell
us they made it, and be able
to walk and talk and start a
normal life again, he said.
Its a pretty humble group,
but they would tell you its a
good day when you can see
the results turn out like this.
Wagners sons soccer
team never did get their potatoes, but they did get something back that was far more
important.
Im very lucky and very
grateful, I dont even know
how to thank them; its just
over the moon and back,
she said. My husband and
my son and I are just very
fortunate to still be a family
unit.
So thanks for that, and the
years ahead.

On Saturday, Dane County Emergency Management

Services and Dane County EMS association honored
EMTs and volunteers for their service, as well as 31
survivors of cardiac arrest from last year. That included Nicki Wagner and the EMTs who helped save her
life after she collapsed in Oregon on Oct. 1. In a press
release last week, Dane County Executive Joe Parisi
credited the use of 12-Lead EKG technology in Dane
County ambulances for helping save lives like Wagners.
Even before a patient gets to a hospital, doctors
know whether cardiac surgery is needed, bypassing
the need for a patient to be evaluated in the emergency
department, he said.
Parisi, who was in Oregon Friday morning to honor
Oregon and Madison EMTs who helped save Wagners
life, said Dane County Emergency Management helps
coordinate a seamless network of emergency responders that team together, regardless of municipal boundaries, ensuring every day that those with the most critical
emergencies receive the highest level of care.
Our emergency services network shows how well
public services can work together for the betterment
of all, he said. Because Dane Countys emergency
dispatchers, fire, police and medical service providers,
work as a cohesive system they have saved the lives
many of our community members.
Parisi said the county 911 center receives around
184,000 emergency calls a year, including 37,000 EMS
calls.

Dane County

Towns could opt out of zoning under legislation

Scott Girard
Unified Newspaper Group

Development in Dane
County townships could
change dramatically if Gov.
Scott Walker signs a bill
recently approved by the
state Assembly.
The legislation, which the
state Assembly approved
last week and the state
Senate was expected to
approve Tuesday after the
Press deadline, would
allow towns in the county
to opt out of Dane Countys
zoning regulations, which
many towns have considered too restrictive at times
to allow development.
For decades, now, the
process has been dominated
by a county board and zoning committee that has had
a particular agenda, Dane
County Towns Association
legal counsel Mark Hazelbaker said. They believe
that development should all
go in cities and villages.
But Dane County officials have a different take
on the legislation and dont
support the change.
County Executive Joe
Parisis chief of staff, Josh
Wescott, told the Observer
that the county seeks a balance on development, noting that if towns have their
own zoning, it could create
stark differences across the
street for residents who live
on the borders of two towns,
often separated by streets.
We think the process
works pretty well right now
as it is, and allows for a
central place to coordinate

and facilitate a number of

different entities that are
involved in development,
Wescott said.
The current system has
joint review of approval for
rezoning between the towns
and the countys Zoning
and Land Regulation board,
which some towns see as
overzealous in its decisions
to preserve farmland.
With some towns suffering and some even
opting to cease to exist as
towns the DCTA is worried that cities and villages
will overtake more towns
using their extraterritorial
jurisdiction, or the ability
to claim land and use it for
development.
Towns would not be
required to opt out of the
zoning, though, and many
officials in the towns surrounding Oregon/Stoughton
said they are happy with
their relationship with the
county on zoning.
Whether or not they opt
out themselves, though,
officials acknowledged it
could significantly change
the planning landscape for
some towns.
The county put together a
last-minute effort earlier in
February to keep the legislation from passing by offering to work with towns on a
comprehensive overhaul to
zoning. Unless Gov. Scott
Walker refuses to sign the
bill, though, the effort will
likely be without success,
though rewriting the zoning
code could keep more towns
in the zoning process when
they have the option.
Towns that choose to opt
out under the law would
all work together to create
a shared zoning ordinance,
Hazelbaker explained.
Towns would then decide
how the different zones
applied to their own

Issuing a citation to an

My thought it would be a

or four days to start, he said.
Were not looking to put
somebody out of business.
We want them to follow the
law.
The board opted to have
the village attorney draft a
policy on compliance instead
of amending or revising
village ordinances, which
would have been more costly
and time consuming.
Dregne is expected to present his draft for the boards

to the senate and assembly

bill sponsors, Parisi asked
for the state to allow for a
local solution.
Under the circumstances, in the interests of resolving the discord in our community on both sides of this
issues, it is evident that a
comprehensive rewrite of
the Dane County zoning
ordinance would be a more
judicious approach; it will
best serve all town governments and citizens of Dane
County, while not having
to change state law, Parisi
wrote. Those towns wishing to opt out of county
zoning will be able to do
so once the ordinance is
rewritten, and those wishing to remain have the
opportunity to adopt the
revised ordinance.
The County Board officially adopted a resolution
to create a subcommittee to
work on zoning at its Feb.
4 meeting. Parisis letter
stated that committee could
have an ordinance introduced within 18 months.
Hazelbaker said the
DCTA supports rewriting
the zoning ordinance but
did not see it as a reason
for the legislature to vote
against the bill.

Another option
Between creating new
zoning and determining
the costs for towns to plan
their own growth, Walkers
signing the bill would leave
plenty to work on in the
coming year.
First, the towns would
have to decide if they wanted to opt in or not.
Itll be interesting to see

how many towns actually decide to proceed and go

on their on with planning
and development, Wescott
said. It could make local
town politics, something
that not a lot of people
pay attention to, a lot more
engaging at the local level
which may be some of
the lemonade what otherwise we think is a real bad
piece of legislation.
Ace, for one, acknowledged that although the
town does not necessarily
support the bill, the town
board would have to look at
it as an option.
This isnt just my decision, he said. Once the
legislature decides, they
open that window for us to
look at it, yes we will look
at it.
But, he said, on its face
the change would seem to
cause the town to have to
start all over with its zoning plans.
I think itd be a lot more
work and a lot more costly, he said.
Porter, in Rutland, said
that he hopes the legislation can spur action at the
county level, though, and
that the county needs to
dedicate staff and other
resources to update Dane
Countys Zoning Code.
This is something thats
been discussed and neglected for years, he said. If
this effort forces that effort,
then something positive
will have emerged from
this.

Community Voices

Kindness, generosity
strengthen community
I

n my role as an outreach worker

at the Oregon Senior Center, I
am privileged to witness some
of the acts of generosity that spring
from our community each year.
On behalf of our local seniors,
I would like to
acknowledge
and thank various community
members and
groups for their
efforts.
Throughout
the year, and
especially near
Brickner
Christmas,
people reach out
to local seniors with a variety of
kind gestures. Often these people
wish to remain anonymous, with no
desire to be recognized for the good
deeds they are doing.
They come to the senior center
for help getting the fruits of their
generosity into the hands of seniors
who can benefit from them. Generally, the recipients of the gifts are
unknown to the giver and the giver
remains anonymous to the recipient.
This past year, for example, we
had families come to the center
with gas station or grocery gift
cards they wanted to donate to
local seniors who could use them.
The families experienced the joyful
feeling that comes from giving, and
the seniors benefited from a little
extra in their budgets.
A local youth organization also
brought in gift cards. How wonderful to realize that this generation is
being raised to think of others, and
to share resources with their elders.
In addition to embracing the
spirit of the holidays, these acts
of generosity also build a sense of
connection that is vital to a healthy,
vibrant community.
One way a holiday is made
brighter is through the chance to
indulge in traditional foods, and
these donated gift cards can help
seniors afford holiday indulgences.

But there are also other, more

direct ways some members of this
community put seasonal food into
the hands of our seniors.
One talented, generous local
woman bakes Christmas cookies
every year for dozens of seniors
who live in local senior housing
complexes. She and her crew of
capable helpers (whom we know as
elves) create beautiful, festivelypackaged homemade treats that
senior center staff deliver.
From the reactions of the people
receiving those goodies, we know
without a doubt those Christmas
treats were truly appreciated.
The Oregon/Brooklyn Lions
Club also deserves thanks for its
efforts to get traditional foods into
the hands of seniors during the
holiday season.
Each year, the Lions put together
boxes with supplies to create a
holiday dinner and deliver them
to about a dozen recipients.
That means a dozen boxes with
Thanksgiving turkey and fixings
in November, another dozen boxes
with ham meals for Christmas and
another dozen with ham at Easter.
Each fall, members of the Brooklyn Community United Methodist
Church contact the center wanting
to reach out to seniors who could
benefit from a little extra cheer
in their lives at the holidays. The
members put together boxes of
goodies, many of them homemade,
along with poinsettias, and sometimes even personalized gifts.
One year, I told them I was
aware of a homebound gentleman
who loved reading western novels.
He received a box full of treats and
those novels, and his smile filled
the room when I delivered them.
The church members do not
know the names of the recipients
of the boxes, but they happily create boxes full of holiday cheer
and boost their own spirits in the
process.
In addition to the help with
distributing donations that come

through our doors, the staff at

the senior center is also aware of
other daily acts of generosity from
the community that benefit local
seniors.
Many seniors rely on the Oregon/Brooklyn Food Pantry each
month, and it is the generosity of
local private donors that allows the
pantry to purchase and distribute
gift cards to Bills Food Center during the holidays and Kwik-Trip gift
cards all year long. And to all of
you who made sure that a seniors
snow was cleared or who carried
the mail up the driveway or gave a
ride to an elder who doesnt drive,
thank you.
Another thank you goes out to
the people who volunteer at the
center during the holidays and all
year long. We are grateful for our
regular volunteers, as well as those
thoughtful people who show up at
the holidays offering an extra set of
hands to help out however necessary.
We also send out thanks to the
seniors who remember the staff
during the holidays. Those treats
arent really necessary, but they
sure are enjoyed.
It is a privilege each year, as
the holiday season approaches, to
work in a community as generous
of spirit as this one. My fellow staff
members and I do our best to distribute the resources that the kind
citizens of our area make available.
For the givers, there is the joy
that comes of giving, the opportunity to teach the next generation
that same joy and also a sense of
responsibility to our fellows, and
for the recipient there is the surprise of a little something extra and
unexpected in the holiday, and the
happiness of being thought of at an
often hectic and sometimes lonely
time of year.
Rachel Brickner is a case manager at the Oregon Senior Center.

Oregon Police Department

Officers get new

job descriptions
Uhl plans to have
yearly evaluations
for staff
Scott Girard
Unified Newspaper Group

Some personnel in the

Oregon Police Department
hadnt had a performance
evaluation in seven, eight
years when Brian Uhl
arrived as the new chief.
Uhl hopes to change that,
telling the Observer Monday that he will have yearly
evaluations for OPD staff.
Everyone needs feedback, whether its positive
or negative,
Uhl said.
That was
part of the
motivation
for OPD
job descriptions that the
Oregon Vil- Uhl
lage Board
approved Monday, Feb. 1.
When I went through
and looked at what we had
here, we did not have job
descriptions, the chief,
who began in August, said.
It means that the officers
understand what their job
duties are in a little more
formal context.
The descriptions outline
job duties for each of the
departments positions:
chief, lieutenant, support
services supervisor, patrol
sergeant, detective sergeant, detective, school
resource officer, patrol officer, canine officer, police
clerk and police secretary.
Each description includes
a job summary, essential
duties and responsibilities,
skills such as reasoning or
math, physical demands
and other qualifications.
Uhl said the performance
reviews, based on the job
descriptions, would factor
into an employees potential for promotion. If an
officer has two evaluations
that find improvement is
needed, he explained, that
officer would not be eligible for promotion.
Those types of things are
important for our officers to

know our expectations

going forward, Uhl said.
The chief added that
there will be a more informal, semi-annual review
midway through the year so
officers are not surprised at
what they hear in their official evaluation.
Uhl took over the chief
position from interim chief
Dale Burke. Prior to Burke,
Doug Pettit retired amid
controversy in the department over his and other
officers alleged use of village resources for off-duty
security work.
Uhl said he was not
surprised at the lack of
job descriptions when he
arrived.
Its not completely
unexpected, he said. I
had no idea what had been
done here in the past. Part
of my plan was to understand how we can make
improvements and that
was one of the glaring
things.
Staff was appreciative of the plan for yearly
reviews and the formalized
job descriptions, Uhl said.
How can a department
move forward with their
goals and expectations if
theyre not evaluating their
staff yearly? he said.

Tin Man project hits zoning bump

Public hearing
slated for March 3
Bill Livick
Unified Newspaper Group

The Village Board two

weeks ago agreed to ask
the Planning Commission
to hold a public hearing
for lighting the downtown
water tower, after officials learned that fixtures
mounted higher than 25 feet
require special approval.
The Commission will
conduct the hearing at its
March 3 meeting.
Village planner Mike
Slavney informed the Historic Preservation Commission and other officials two
weeks ago that the villages
zoning code requires special
approval from the Planning
Commission and Village
Board to light the 75-foot
tall water tower. The HPC
has already approved the
plan.

Village President Steve

Staton told the Observer he
views the requirement as a
technicality and doesnt
foresee any problems in
gaining approval for the
lighting plan.
Randy Glysch, a member
of HPC and the organizer
who led the successful fundraising and renovation of
the pump house into the
Oregon Welcome Center,
said village administrator
Mike Gracz indicated the
zoning issue isnt likely
to affect Glyschs plan to
restore the Tin Man and
light it. Glyschs plan also
calls for painting the tower,
with the word OREGON
on the water tank.
Its just a technicality to
go through to make it OK
to light the water tower,
Staton told the Observer
on Monday. Between the
pump house refurbishing
and the water tower, its
going to be a really nice
downtown once we get that

done.
Glysch has raised about
$25,000 toward the Tin
Man project, which
includes painting the 1899
structure and lighting it.
The lighting plan consists
of two LED floodlights on
the legs of the 75-foot-tall
tower and 12 floodlights
mounted around the catwalk, at a cost of $9,700.
He also got permission to
install a weather vane that
was previously attached
to the top of tower and
had rusted off, as well as
removing a defunct warning siren. The total project cost is expected to be
around $40,000, with the
village borrowing to cover
the balance beyond what
Glysch raises for the project.

Who Are Your Brothers and Sisters?

A brother or sister is much more than someone who shares
the same parentage. A brother or sister is someone who
loves and supports you, who has your back when enemies
surround you and gives you shelter when no one else will.
Holy men and women have always reminded us that the
family of man makes us all brothers and sisters. The Bible
tells us repeatedly to treat widows, orphans and immigrants
well, for they are Gods children and thus our brothers and
sisters. Mystics and saints have taken this one step further
in telling us that all of creation is Gods handiwork, and
thus both the animate and inanimate parts of nature are
also quite literally our brothers and sisters. Modern science
elegantly demonstrates that we are all made of the same
basic stuff; the carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in every cell
of our body is the same material from which the stars and

we are all children of the same God.

Eli Rule qualified for the WIAA
Division 1 state meet in individual events Saturday while helping
the Oregon/Belleville 200-medley and 200-yard freestyle relays
also qualify.
Larsen qualified for this weekends state meet as an individual, finishing fifth overall at the
Middleton sectional in the 100
freestyle (48.55 seconds) and is
seeded 13th at state.
Rule posted best times in the

100 breaststroke (1:00.67) and

on his 50 free split in the 200 free
relay. He is seeded 12th after just
missing the podium at state last
year, taking 10th place.
It would mean so much for me
to be able to walk out of the Nat
with a medal. These guys have
pushed me so hard at practice.
Its just awesome to be able to
go with a group like them, Rule

ninth overall after finishing 14th

We came into sectionals kind

state. We just wanted to see how
fast we could go today and break
that record, Rule said. It just
kind of sets the pace for next
week as were hoping to go even
faster.

Their 200 free relay time of

1:30.74 was more than three-anda-half seconds faster than their
seed time, earning the foursome

Of the multitude of clichs coaches often find

themselves saying is something about the difficulty of
one team to be beat another
three times in a season.
After dropping a pair of
one-goal games to Monona Grove twice during the
regular season, though,
something had to give Tuesday when the ninth-seeded
Panthers dropped the puck
inside Hartmeyer Ice Arena
against the eighth-seeded
Silver Eagles.
Unfortunately, what gave
for Oregon faithful was the
teams defense and Monona
Grove skated to a 4-1 victory.
The host Silver Eagles
jumped out to a 3-0 lead in
the first period and never
looked back.
We had a rough go over
a three-minute stretch in
the first period and that was
the difference in the game,
head coach Mike Jochmann
said.
Oregons Calvin Schneider cut the lead to two with
a second-period power-play
goal, but Monona Grove got
the goal back in the third
thanks to an empty-net goal
by Tanner Smith his second goal of the night.
Henry Roskos had 34
saves in a losing effort
for Oregon, while Andryi
Nahirniak stopped 43 for
MG.
The Silver Eagles advance
on to face top-seeded Middleton on 8 p.m. Friday
inside Capitol Ice Arena.
Oregon finishes the year

106-pound finals Saturday in the WIAA Division 1 Sun Prairie regional. Mellum took second
and advanced to sectionals.

Oregon freshman Steele Mellum is going to

sectionals after taking second place Saturday
in the WIAA Division 1 Sun Prairie regional.
Mellum made the 106-pound finals and
took on Stoughtons Hunter Lewis. While
Mellum fell by pin in 4 minutes, 21 seconds,
he didnt need a wrestleback to finish second
and will be able to prepare for at least one
more meet.
He is one of the hardest workers we have
in the room, which counts for a lot in the
sport of wrestling, head coach Ned Lease
said. He is a very coachable freshman, and
he is very technically sound. He doesnt
make a lot of bad mistakes.
Mellum defeated Sun Prairies Wyatt Thiel
4-3 in the semifinals after receiving a bye to
start the meet.

The Icebergs girls hockey

co-op closed out the regular
season against the Cap City
Cougars and then traveled
to Beaver Dam for the playoffs last week.

Cougars 8, Icebergs 5
Despite a valiant comeback, the Icebergs were
unable to cap the Badger
Conference regular season
with a victory Thursday
in McFarland, falling 8-5
against the visiting Cap City
Cougars.
The Icebergs fought back
to within a goal with a fivegoal second period after
digging themselves into an
early four-goal deficit.
Teagan Rupiper and Maddy Hess opened the second
period with power-play
goals a little over a minute
apart to cut Cap Citys lead
to 4-2.
The Icebergs pulled within a goal thanks to the evenstrength goal of Hess with
45 seconds left in the second period, but were unable
to draw even.
The Cougars answered
the even-strength goals of
Samantha Ayers and Shannon King in the second
period and added two more
goals in the third to extend
their lead back three for the
8-5 final.
Jada Ward had three goals
and three assists for the

Cougars, while Hess scored

twice and assisted on another. Ayers had a goal and an
assist for the Icebergs.
Stoughtons McKenzie
Nisius kept the Icebergs
in the game with 31 saves,
including 16 in the first
period. Taylor Thornton
(eight) and Lucy Rosenthal (five) combined for 13
saves for the Cougars.

Icebergs 8,
Beaver Dam 3
The ninth-seeded Icebergs opened the WIAA
playoffs Tuesday inside the
Beaver Dam Family Ice
Center against the eighthseeded Beavers and rolled
8-3 behind their biggest
offensive outburst of the
season.
Hess scored three goals
in the blowout, including
a pair of first period goals
as the Icebergs built a 6-0
lead through two-and-a-half
periods.
Beaver Dam scored three
times in the third period, but
the Icebergs kept a healthy
five goal cushion with three
goals of their own. The Icebergs advance on to face
the top-seeded Middleton
Metro Lynx co-op at 8 p.m.
Friday inside Madison Ice
Arena.
The Metro Lynx won the
Badger Conference title
this season, beating the Icebergs a combined 17-0 in
two regular season games.

Oregon keeps conference hopes alive

The Oregon boys basketball teams

57-37 Badger South victory at Fort
Atkinson on Tuesday kept the squads
chances of sharing a conference title
alive.
But those chances still remain
small with all the help the Panthers
need. Besides Oregon (13-7 overall, 7-4 conference) needing a win
against Monona Grove in the conference finale at 7:30 p.m. Friday, the
Panthers also need the Silver Eagles
to lose once more, Stoughton to lose
twice and Madison Edgewood to lose
once.
Regardless, the only thing Oregon
can do is win out, and Tuesdays win
was exactly what was needed.
The Panthers led by 10 points at
the end of the first half, and they continued to lead with a 30-20 advantage
in the second half.
The offense was led by three
double-digit scorers. Seniors Charlie Soule and Alex Duff collected
18 and 17 points, respectively, and
junior Michael Landry added 11.

Sim Man visits OHS

Students in the Oregon High School health science occupation class got a visit
Friday afternoon from Sim Man, a medical mannequin used by Madison College
instructors to train first responders and also area high school students on a variety of medical procedures. Wendy Hinz of the non-profit Wisconsin Area Health
Education Center that helps bring Sim Man to area schools at no cost, said health
care workers are in great demand; something that will continue as high school students reach the workforce. We are in a crisis right now, and its only going to get
worse as there are fewer of them to take care of more of us, Hinz said.
