Oregon School District
Developer agrees
to split cost
BILL LIVICK
Unified Newspaper Group
The taxpayer cost of a

proposed Oregon hotel
has dropped again, to just
over half of what was initially proposed.
On Monday, Eric Lund,
owner of Verona-based
S&L Hospitality, met
with the Village Board
to continue discussions
that began a year ago
about building a hotel on
the south side, where the
Waterfall Restaurant used
to operate on Janesville
Street.
The developer and village officials talked about
tax-increment financing
and projected occupancy rates of the proposed
hotel, as well as potential
problems with stormwater
management on the small
building site.
Initially, Lund had
requested $1 million in
TIF from the village to
build a 75-room Sleep
Inn and Suites hotel. In

In a sense, the Oregon School District has had a Science, Technology,

Engineering, Art and Mathematics
program for years it just wasnt
called STEAM.
Now, in the midst of multi-million
dollar construction and public support, initiatives at the Oregon School
District are ramping up, invigorated by the addition of art turning
STEM to STEAM and spurred by
good jobs waiting for graduates with
critical thinking and problem-solving
skills.
Its a successful collaboration
between a school district and community with goals of not only producing

a major focus about five years ago.
Were looking at science through
the lens of technology, through the
lens of art and math, so students
are able to clearly see how all these
things are connected, she said. Its a
way of thinking; its how our subject
areas are approached. When theres
relevance, theres more of a natural
inclination to want to know.
District technology director Jon
Tanner said that relevance also provides context, which is important.

January, he proposed
reducing the size of the
hotel to 52 rooms and
scaled back his TIF
request to $650,000.
Now, Lund has agreed
to halve the estimated
cost of construction, or
$561,256, in financial
assistance.
In a March 15 email
to village administrator
Mike Gracz, Lund agreed
with the villages proposal to an even split of
the estimated construction
cost of $1.12 million.
But he balked at another element in the proposal a look back clause
that would force his company to return money if
the hotel performs better
than projected.
Trustee Jeff Boudreau
talked positively about
Lund and the project.
He said the two sides are
very close on the numbers, but responded that
village residents are also
potential investors in the
project through the villages use of TIF. He

TIF: Staton says two sides have reached a comfort level on hotel project
The board discussed

the look-back clause in
closed session Monday,
and when it returned, Staton told Lund the village
wants to keep the clause in
the agreement.
In brief
Tax increment financing is a public financing method used as a subsidy for

redevelopment, infrastructure and other community-improvement projects
by capturing property tax revenue from all underlying taxing jurisdictions
(the city, county, state, technical college and the school district) of the newly
developed property.
Hotel developer Eric Lund met with the Village

Board Monday and agreed to reduce his TIF
request to half the projected cost of construction. The owner of Verona-based S&L Hospitality
is now seeking $561,256 in TIF assistance for
a 52-room hotel, down from his request of
$1 million last year when he hoped to build a
75-room Sleep Inn & Suites Hotel. Village officials
say the two sides are close to a final agreement.
The clause would stipulate that if the hotel realizes a rate of return that
exceeds 17 percent in its
fifth year of operation,
cash flows above that
amount would be split with
the village to reduce its
TIF investment.
We do the analysis, and
by a certain year, if hes
exceeding whats considered in the industry an
acceptable rate of return
on the project, he would
have to give us some of the
TIF money back, Gracz
explained in a telephone
interview with the Observer on Monday.
In his email response to
the village, Lund said the
clause would have to be
two-sided.
If the investors did
not receive 17 percent
annually, the village would

make up the difference,
he wrote. Since that is
not an option, I suggest
we remove the look back
clause.
The developer responded that the clause could
complicate the project for
investors and might deter
them.
If we could eliminate
that, Lund said, it would
eliminate some potential
confusion.
Technical concerns
The board had some concerns about how the site
would accommodate the
project, which Gracz laid
out in an email to Lund.
The village, Gracz told
the Observer, would like
S&L to continue preliminary engineering and
planning on the one-acre

site while it works out
financial issues with the
village because of challenges about how it would
work on the site.
Stormwater management appears to be particularly challenging, Gracz
wrote in the email.
Gracz told the Observer theres probably not
enough land area on the
parcel to build a satisfactory stormwater retention
pond. The additional planning could help clarify the
cost, he said.
You can do it underground, but its challenging and can be expensive,
Gracz said.
Trustee Jerry Bollig said
the village wants to be sure
that stormwater costs dont
become a deal-breaker.
But Lund told the board

he plans to move forward
with the project regardless
of stormwater management
costs.
Occupancy rates
Bollig also questioned
Lunds projection of a 71
percent occupancy rate
once the hotel is stabilized after three years of
operation.
Bollig cited a recent
newspaper article that
indicated hotel occupancy
rates statewide were at
52 percent in 2015. Lund

Flanagan has varied experience

I was so glad when I heard
Krista Flanagan was running for
the Oregon School Board! She
possesses such a varied experience that I think would benefit the
board and our schools.
She has management experience and has shared that with
many small businesses in her role
as a consultant. She has marketing experience in both small and
large markets, and as a consultant,
she has had the opportunity to see,
firsthand, many different situations and she has learned from
them all.
She has experience in our
schools in various volunteer roles,
including being a tutor, leading
committees and working to help

at-risk students.
Krista was reminded by many
people that she had the skills and
the personality that could benefit our education system, and I
am very glad that she listened to
them. I have known Krista for
many years through her board
work at the Madison Festival
events and wholeheartedly support her as a school board member!
Please join me in voting on
April 5.

Flanagan active supporter of schools

Krista Flanagan has our vote
for Oregon School Board on
April 5 and heres why:
She is an active supporter of
our schools. Not only is she a
parent of a freshman and a 4th
grader, she shows her commitment to Oregon schools and our
kids by serving as a Netherwood
Knoll Elementary volunteer,
an OMS Schools of Hope tutor,
the parent representative on the
OMS Referendum Design team
and is also working with a group
of parents to assist our at-risk
students by alleviating some of
the basic needs barriers to learning.
She has board experience.
Krista has served on three different non-profit boards for a
combined 18 years, plus has five
years of board leadership experience under her belt. It is important to have board members who
are clear on the role of a board
and understand the value of listening, seeking varied input,
working collaboratively and

being a critical thinker in order
to address the important issues
before our district. We know
Krista has this experience and
possesses these necessary skills.
She has a professional background that can serve our district
well. Krista has both nonprofit
and private sector experience in
the fields of strategic planning,
fund development, marketing
and management. With her background, we know Krista can be
an important voice in helping
our district continue to move forward and serve the best interests
of our students.
As parents and long-time residents of this community, we are
so glad to have someone like
Krista Flanagan running for Oregon School Board. Please join us
in voting for her on April 5.

Flanagan, Carpenter best for Oregon School Board

I would like to encourage Oregon School District residents to vote for Krista Flanagan and
Uriah Carpenter for seats on the Oregon School
Board.
Both Krista and Uriah have supported Oregon
schools during their years in Oregon, understand
the importance of our schools in impacting the
future of our students and respect the significant
role our schools play in the health and vitality of
our community.
Uriah has always been very active in the community and is currently the President of the Rotary
Club. He understands that educators must recognize that students have varied learning styles and
that teacher instruction must accommodate those
varied styles, that our district must continue to
develop and implement innovative learning strategies, and respects how these things work together
to prepare our students for their future. Uriah has
always appreciated and respected the significant
impact that our teachers have on their students,
and will be supportive of attracting and retaining
the best teachers.
Krista is a strong advocate for students and
teachers, and will be diligent in working to provide
the best learning environments possible for them.
She is a good listener and a thoughtful person
with strong problem-solving and critical-thinking
skills. Krista has the experience of serving on several boards and understands the importance of collaboration and consensus-building. She is actively
involved in our schools as a volunteer at Netherwood Knoll and a Schools of Hope tutor at Oregon
Middle School. Education is continually evolving, and Krista is a forward-looking person who
is well-suited to moving the Oregon schools into
the future.
Both candidates support students, teachers and
administrators and recognize that they have a
common mission to support, educate and prepare
our students for their future. It is also important
to note that both support educational policies and
strategies that ensure that students with special
needs will receive the support they need, and that
this will not detract from other students instruction.
Uriah and Krista are separate and distinct candidates who will bring diverse skills and experiences
to the school board. I believe that our students,
teachers and administrators will benefit with them
as members, and urge you to vote for them on
April 5.
Steve Staton,

Vote Steve Root for Town of Oregon Supervisor

As a resident of the Town of Oregon, when I
vote for an elected official to represent me, I look
for someone that is honest and has integrity, common sense and dedication to the office to work
in the best interest of the township. Steve Root is
such a person.
Steve has served two terms as a Town of Oregon
Supervisor. During his tenure, he has shown that
he is committed to implementing the responsibilities of a board supervisor. He is reliable, resourceful and thorough when doing research, accessible
to town residents, supportive of town staff and has
the organizational and management skills to work
well with other local and state agencies.
Steve is a problem solver and team player. He
has been the chairman of the Park Committee for
29 years, and in that capacity has shown that he

is fiscally responsible by monitoring and managing the town/park budget in a prudent manner. As
chairman of the Park Committee, Steve has spearheaded the Eagle Scout program coordinating the
scouts projects to enhance and maintain our town
parks. He assisted local residents with the coordination of the Della Neighborhood Park.
Steve Root is a committed, fair, honest, and
responsive Town of Oregon supervisor and will
have my support and vote on April 5th, I encourage you to do the same.
Chris Johnson
Town of Oregon
Vote for Flanagan and Carpenter on April 5

I endorse Krista Flanagan and Uriah Carpenter
for election to the Oregon School Board. I have
interviewed both candidates, and listened to them
at the Oregon Area Progressives village candidate
forum. I urge district voters to elect both of these
candidates on April 5.
Krista has lived in Oregon for many years, and
has two children attending Oregon schools. She
has degrees in marketing from UW-Madison and
Indiana University. Krista has worked for several
companies, and currently owns a marketing consulting firm. In addition, she has served on many
boards and committees.
She has taken the initiative to talk to teachers and others to further her knowledge of the
schools and meet more of the staff. Krista has a
sharp brain and great enthusiasm which stands her
in good stead as a volunteer in the district. I have
found her to be open to new ideas and information.
In addition, she is a strong leader, is easy to talk
with, and will help move the district forward.
Uriah also has lived in Oregon for many years,
and has a daughter who attended Oregon schools.
Uriah graduated from UW-Platteville, and works

in the information technology field. A steady
thinker and a quiet personality, Uriah would fit
nicely on the Oregon School Board. He is flexible,
and will not make up his mind until presented with
complete information about a subject. Then he
will sift and winnow all of the facts before taking a position. Uriah is the current president of the
Oregon Rotary Club, and has developed the leadership skills needed as a school board member.
Krista and Uriah have complementary skills,
and the Oregon School District will be greatly
enhanced if they are elected as members of the
school board. Please mark your calendars to vote
on April 5, and vote for both of these excellent
candidates in this important spring election!

Putting on the Armor of God

The sixth chapter of Ephesians advises us to be strong
in the Lord, and to protect ourselves from the evils of this
world by putting on Gods armor. And while there is both
natural and moral evil in this world, natural evil being
such things as famine, natural disasters and illness, this
armor is intended more as a protection against moral evil,
the kind of evil carried out by human beings of their own
volition. We dont have to look far to see human beings
taking advantage of their fellow human beings, kidnapping, enslaving and even killing them. The worst of these
actions are the ones done in the name of God. When
you see someone killing innocent men, women and even
children in the name of God, you can be sure that you
are in the presence of Gods enemies. Notice how Pauls
description of the armor serves also as a criterion of what
is good. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled
around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness
in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that
comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this,
take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish
all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of
salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of
God.Ephesians 6:14-17 NIV

A dream come true

first-team
selection
Jen Brien signs Letter

of Intent to play soccer
for Division 1 Southeast
Missouri State
ANTHONY IOZZO
Assistant sports editor
It has been quite a year for senior

Jen Brien.
After helping the Oregon High
School girls soccer team win the
first state title in school history as
a junior, Brien began to get ready
to make her college decision to
continue her soccer career one
that ultimately led her to sign a
National Letter of Intent to go to
NCAA Division I Southeast Missouri State in February.
I have always dreamed of playing at the collegiate level so it was
definitely a huge moment for me,
and it was actually really emotional for me because to see everyone
there supporting me really meant
so much, Brien said. I am loving every second of it. The state
championship was amazing. It was
something I will never forget, and
to be an official Redhawk I just
cant put it into words. It is just
awesome.
With her college decision locked
up, Brien said she can now focus
on helping Oregon make state for
the second straight season this
spring and defend the Panthers
title.
For this year, as a team, our
expectations wont fall short of
back-to-back state appearances.
Coming off of a phenomenal season last year, I think it will really
motivate us to keep pushing ourselves and to continue our dominant drive against our opponents,
Brien said. Every year, to me,
I take it as that I can improve my
game and grow as a player and
give me another opportunity to
work on skills and then hopefully
to bring them over to the collegiate
level too.
And she said the motivation is
there for her and her teammates to
once again make Oregon history.
We know teams are after us.
Knowing what we are capable of
doing and when we work together
and how amazing the end result is
a motivator in and of itself, Brien
said. So being there and having
that experience and bringing home
the gold ball, I think it definitely
will play a huge part with how we
prepare for this season and how we
enter into each game.
Choosing SEMO
It was not a difficult choice for
Brien to pick Southeast Missouri
State, but there were a few obstacles she had overcome in order to
get an offer.
Brien played basketball and ran
cross country through her sophomore year, but when she became a
junior, Brien decided to put all of
her efforts into soccer, especially
since she learned that colleges tend
to begin looking at players during
their junior season.
SEMO recruiters first saw Brien
her sophomore year during her
club season with the Madison
56ers, without Brien even knowing
they were there.
SEMO recruiters began contacting the club coach that month.
SEMO caught my eye because

Koopman finished the

She also finished with 58

the team is incredibly talented both

on the field and in the classroom.
They have great success in the
Ohio Valley Conference and, academically, hold the second-highest
team GPA in the nation, Brien
said. The coaches and the team
were so welcoming on all of my
visits, and they just really made me
feel a part of the family right off
the bat.
The interest remained as recruiters visited Oregon High School
on May 12 for the Panthers game
against Monona Grove.
But Brien was injured during
that game, and the recruiters had to
reschedule another time.
That time happened to be the
rematch with the Silver Eagles in
the WIAA Division 2 regional final
on June 6. Brien scored two goals
and added an assist in that win.
Brien verbally committed to
SEMO soon afterward.
It was great. I am so blessed to
go to SEMO and play for them.
I definitely think it is a perfect
opportunity that came around, and
it was one of those where you just
had to take it, Brien said. I am so
lucky to be able to get an opportunity to go there.

Growing up with soccer

Brien began to kick soccer balls
around when she was four or five
years old, and it was a sport she
instantly fell in love with.
Brien loved the competitiveness
of soccer, and she enjoyed its physicality and aggressiveness, as well
as the speed and the atmosphere
during games.
Brien also played basketball and

ran cross country, even qualifying
for state as a sophomore, but in the
end she chose soccer.
I love to run, so I thought it was
just a great fit at a young age, she
said.
Besides playing with the Oregon
program, Brien also played club

Brien: Helping the Panthers make another state appearance on her list of goals
for the Madison 56ers. Together,
both programs shaped her into the
player she is today.
Whether it was Oregon head
coach Julie Grutzner or assistant
varsity coach Dariane Schneider
or any other coaches and players
she learned from, Brien said she
was gaining confidence in herself
and learning how to play with different teammates and styles.
No matter what the team was,
as long as I was playing soccer, I

was happy, Brien said. Everything I have learned can be credited to Oregon and my club team.
I will definitely carry that over to
SEMO.
As a sophomore, she scored
six goals and had two assists, but
her junior role changed, allowing
her to be a starting forward where
she finished with 23 goals and 15
assists.
Despite being a member of varsity since she was a sophomore
and taking on an expanded role

as a forward last season, Brien is
now going to have the added role
of being one of the senior leaders
for the Panthers.
While a little different than
before, Brien said she is ready
to embrace that role and use this
season as a means to add to her
skills and help mentor the younger players along. But most importantly, it is about enjoying the
final year in an Oregon Panther
uniform.

relocated to accommodate
construction, but there are
always plenty of STEAM
activities going on inside.
On any given day, students
could be working on anything from 3D printing and
computer coding to testing
the opaqueness of plastic
filters illuminating their
model of an ancient Egyptian tomb.
At Rome Corners Intermediate School, home to
the districts fifth- and
sixth-grade students are
studying engineering and
technology, and how they
go together.
Oregon Middle School,
already home to the Hoop
House greenhouse, will
also get a new Ecocenter by the end of the year,
Bergstrom said, to help
learners to see the connection between the healthy
diet they discuss in health
class and the food they
grow in science class.
In the coming years, the
school will receive larger
music spaces and rooms
specifically designed to
support a STEAM curriculum, including two new
technology classrooms connected to three science labs
to increase opportunities to
integrate the two subjects.
At Oregon High School,
until a dedicated STEAM
space is available after
referendum construction, activities are embedded into daily classroom
learning. A variety of programs is always going on,
from an adventure photography class that uses
Not only do many educators believe STEAM education is a better way for students to learn, its a way to
gain a competitive advantage in a rapidly changing
workforce. Tanner said
there has been a big push
from the federal and state
governments for academic
and career preparedness"
with a special emphasis on
STEAM careers to avoid a
future shortage of technically skilled workers.
A lot of industry leaders
want to have developed students so they have people
they can hire in the future,
he said, Its smart. Companies are looking for skilled
workers who can approach
challenges in a multidisciplinary way, and solve
creative problems, but with
a highly technical skill set.
There are some pretty good
job opportunities.
DPI science education
consultant Kevin Anderson, who helps coordinate
the states STEM Leadership Team, said demand is
growing quickly for graduates with experience in
those programs, citing a
recent conversation with an
executive from Milwaukee.
She emphasized repeatedly how important the type
of thinking is that STEM
education provides and how
important STEM programs
are for the jobs pipeline,
Anderson said. Its about
providing all students with
a specific type of problemsolving, thinking, and quantitative analysis skills that
will help them in almost
any type of job.
Bergstrom agreed, and
said critical thinking and
problem solving skills
will be important for OHS
grads, no matter what
career path they take.
We need to create lifelong learners who will be
successful in any field,
she said. Weve all heard
statements about how often
people in the future could
be changing careers the
thing they take with them is
the ability to think creatively and critically.

problem where you have to
learn that math, you understand why you learned it.
Those subjects, in turn,
share the integrated lessons
of STEAM.
What you learn in math
is applied in science, and
what you learn with engineering is applied with
math; and technology is
used in all of them, he
said. You have a common
thread going through all of
them, how theyre related
and support each other.
OSD school to career
coordinator Greg Granberg
said thats a huge difference from how those
courses were taught 30
years ago.
Then, it was the teacher
lecturing to the students;
being the deliverer of the
information and the student (showing) they understood, he said. Theres
been a shift in education,
and our STEAM curriculum really exemplifies
that, to where our students
are more problem-solvers,
and our curriculum is more
problem-based or projectbased, allowing students
to take ownership of their
learning.

Its only going to get better when the construction is
completed. Bergstrom said
the new STEAM spaces
will make space conducive to working on interdisciplinary projects in order
to highlight to students the
connectivity of all they are
learning. OHS principal
Jim Pliner said the new
areas will enable us to take
our project-based learning
to the next level.
From STEM to STEAM

Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics education offers students an opportunity to engage
with meaningful problems beyond the application of
isolated pieces of science, technology, engineering and
mathematics learning,
according to the Wisconsin Department of Public
Instructions website.
STEM education is For information about STEM, visit:
more than the sum of its
dpi.wi.gov/stem
parts, functioning as a
metadiscipline that provides a way of approaching problems across contexts,
the DPI website explains. In the 21st century, major
societal problems do not belong to any one discipline;
they must be solved through multiple approaches and
perspectives.
Some school districts are also adding art elements to
STEM curricula hence STEAM. The objectives of the
STEAM movement include encouraging integration
of art and design and influencing employers to hire
artists and designers to drive innovation, according to
stemtosteam.org.
DPI science education consultant Kevin Anderson,
who help coordinate the states STEM Leadership
Team, said many districts already have STEM/STEAM
programs and many more are starting to look. Not that
those programs are without challenges, though. While
in Oregon, STEAM programs are thriving, Anderson
said Wisconsin seems to be falling behind its neighbors in funding initiatives, noting that DPI requests for
creation of a central STEM hub for the state and continuation of a school grant program were not approved
in the state budget.
On the web
Oregon gets an A for STEAM

While the DPI lists
STEM initiatives, like
many other school districts, in recent years,
Oregon has added art elements to create STEAM.
Former district art teacher
and current school board
member Gwen Maitzen
said thats only natural,
as art and science have
always been great friends
throughout time.
Recent history has
separated art and science
and most subjects, but culture is coming back to the
understanding that it is all
interconnected, she said.
Maitzen cited as a forerunner of todays STEAM
curriculum collaborative
projects like the Blue
sculpture outside the high
school created by her OHS
art students around 15
years ago with the help of
retired OHS psychologist
Mark Jung and WISCO
employees.
They cut the pieces
out using laser cutters and
then the shop class student
welders put it together,
she said.
The project showed art
is a natural pairing with
the sciences, Maitzen said.
(Theres) its relationship to chemistry (ceramics, sculpture and paint),
physics (light, optics heat,
refection, perspective,
photography), engineering
(architecture and sculpture), biology, sociology
and psychology and of
course now the big one,
21st Century Technology.
Art hasnt been just a
complement to STEM
programming, either, but
a significant part, said
OHS art teacher Michael
Derrick, who credited staff
for coming up with innovative and progressive
ways to include the arts
in their curriculum, and
administrators for providing freedom to experiment.
The Oregon School
District values the educational worth that the arts
provide students, he said.
District technology
director Jon Tanner said
the addition of art to the
previous STEM programming is a key component,
because it gets closer to
the skill sets the job market is requiring.
We need engineers who
are also creative problemsolvers, and who can bring
artistic sensibilities and
draw inspiration from other
fields to come up with new
solutions, he said.
Derrick who said when
educators and employers
say they want high school
graduates to be critical
thinkers and problem solvers, the arts can help.
Research shows the
arts develop higher-order
thinking skills and create
students that are inventive
problem-solvers that better grasp complex materials, he said. With the
evolution of technology
and new discoveries, educators are often instructing
students to compete for
jobs or careers that dont
even exist yet.

Community ties go way back

Strong support provided to Oregon School District
science programs by the Oregon Rotary Club reach es
back decades, highlighted by the ongoing Lerner Park
projects to re-establish native plants and animals.
In recent years, Rotarians helped fund a hoop house
at Oregon Middle School, where students grow food for
the schools cafeteria, as well as a composter for recycling waste food and paper products.
Oregon Rotarian Larry Mahr said the group puts a
priority on supporting STEAM objectives and projectbased or problem-solving based learning, including
a new Ecolab at Oregon Middle School to include
greenhouses and renewable sources of energy, set to be
completed during the upcoming school years winter
break.
Combining efforts; you bring a lot to the table right
away, Mahr said. We want to be a part of that; to provide those resources for teaching and for students to
have those experiences. We can have one of the best
programs in the state, and that will happen when everybody is on board with it.
School board member Rae Vogeler, who has
observed other programs around the state, praised the
vital role played by Oregon Rotary members in supporting STEAM initiatives in the district.
We in Oregon are fortunate to have such dedicated
staff and community members leading the way, she
said.
