County site could be next sports complex

Planners: Until then, put
fields in existing parks
Bill Livick
With the village running out of space

for playing fields, village officials are
narrowing a list of areas where a future
sports complex could be developed.
One suggestion is near Anderson
Farm County Park, Union Road, south
of the village.
Thats the most recent recommendation of village planner Mike Slavney,
who said the village could work with
Dane County to develop the fields over
the next few years.
Slavney and fellow planner Jackie Mich began looking for new sites
in June, and they met with the Village Board on Oct. 10 to discuss their
search. While looking outside the village boundaries for an area suitable
for hosting a sports complex, they
also evaluated areas within the village
where new fields could be located.
Slavney suggested the village could
develop a baseball diamond complex

Village planning report
at Jaycee Park West and continue to
establish fields in Keller Alpine Meadows Park on the villages west side.
That may lead to possible soccer fields; there may be four of them
there, village administrator Mike
Gracz reported.
In August, Slavney and Mich met
with the Park Board to discuss six
potential sites they had identified for a
sports complex all outside of the village.
The planners recommended Site
4, land owned by Dane County on
Union Road, because the county has
indicated an interest in partnering with
the village to provide a park at this
location, they wrote in a memo. The
county would be able to lease the land
to the village at a nominal cost.
They noted that the site is relatively

close to the villages utility network.
Thats helpful because the village
would likely bring sewer, water and
electricity to the site.
But developing a sports complex
there will take years, and in the meantime, the village should begin adding
more playing fields to areas within the
village, the planners said.
They recommended village officials
meet with user groups to learn immediate and future needs.
The village completed a plan for
Jaycee Park West in 2011. It calls for
a four-plex of lighted baseball diamonds, two lighted soccer fields, four
U12 soccer fields, new parking lots, a
new playground and other amenities.
The planners also suggested the village allow youth sports to be played
at small neighborhood parks throughout the village. They said people living next to the parks would likely
get used to it, and said its a way
to stretch your public facilities and tax
dollars.
Its a reasonable way to help

Vote yes on OSD referendum Nov. 8

As a resident of the Oregon area
for over 50 years, weve had experience with the Oregon School
District. In our search for a home
for our family, the school system
was paramount in our decision to
move to Oregon.
Our two children and three
grandchildren are all graduates of
the OSD. I was a teacher in the
district for 25 years. As a parent
and teacher I was able to experience first-hand the quality of our
teaching staff.
The Nov. 8 ballot includes a
referendum to approve a new
Educator Compensation Plan.
Why do we need an Educator
Compensation Plan? Attracting
and retaining highly qualified
educators is critical to maintaining
the high standard of excellence
Oregon is known for. Its no secret
that there is a teacher shortage and
fewer young people are choosing
the field of education. The competition to employ and retain quality
teachers is difficult without a plan
that will ensure their future. State
revenue limits prohibit our school
district to raise revenues without
a referendum. Unlike all Dane
County school districts, the OSD
does not have a teacher compensation plan.
As a community, we have a
responsibility to our students to
provide staff that will ensure that
each student has the opportunity to
reach his/her full potential. Over
the past four years, a committee
of Oregon Education Association
members, district staff and school
board has reviewed compensation
plans from other districts. Their
efforts have produced a comprehensive educator compensation
plan that is structured to attract
and retain the best and the brightest for our communitys students.
The cost of the proposed plan
is $45 per $100,000 assessed
value or about $112.50 for an
average household. It has been
said it takes a village to raise
a child; as a community lets
continue to foster the reputation
of our districts excellence and
why we, like so many families
chose Oregon as their home. I urge
you to join me in voting yes
for the Oregon School District
Referendum on Nov. 8. For more

Teacher pay plan is key to

sustaining district success
mportant things are happening in the Oregon School

District.
The Class of 2016 had a graduation rate of 99 percent, and we
are at the cutting edge of area
school districts in educational
practices, as evidenced by the
districts recently approved strategic plan (The Path Forward).
Our building renovations are
providing our students and the
community
with fantastic
educational spaces at
essentially no
additional taxpayer expense
because the
referendum
funds used to
Zach
finance them
replaced longterm district debt that is paid off
this year.
All of this could not happen
without the tremendous support
of Oregon School District residents, who have time and again
placed trust in the vision for
our district. This trust has been
rewarded by student success and
accomplishment and buildings
that are heavily used by the
community.
This year we are asking for
your support for something a little different.
In the past, we sought referendum spending authority for
buildings and facility needs.
This time, we seek financial
assistance for an element that
is critical to OSD success the
people we entrust to guide our
childrens educational future
our teachers.
On Nov. 8, OSD residents will
be asked to support our recently
adopted educator compensation
plan, which is the result of three

years of collaborative work
among the Board, administration, teachers, and focus groups
of district residents. The fact
that all of these groups endorse
this plan should not go unnoticed.
The proposed plan treats
our teachers as professionals.
It creates a model based upon
professional development and
accountability, is research-based
and has a direct correlation to
student achievement. It is a significant departure from the old
system of pay increases based
upon time and credit attainment
and guaranteed tenure.
The funding for this new plan
requires additional funding.
Without it, we will not be able to
address significant market-driven competition for our teachers.
We rank 16th out of 19 in
average teacher compensation
for Dane County and Badger
conference schools. This is significant, because a Milwaukee
Journal-Sentinel report indicates that 75 percent of school
districts are losing teachers
because another school district
has offered a better salary or
benefits.
We have significant competitive issues with respect to 40
percent of our teachers who are
in the first 10 years of service in
the district. And since 2011, our
teachers have lost 3 percent in
take-home compensation compared with inflation and that
does not take into account additional health-care premiums and
deductibles.
In addition, experienced
teachers are leaving the profession for private-sector employment, and the number of individuals pursuing education degrees
is down 28 percent, perhaps

reflective of the fact that teacher
compensation is 12 percent lower nationally compared to their
peers, taking into account benefits and time spent on the job.
To address these funding
issues, our district has reallocated spending in our budget to
fund 50 percent of the compensation plan cost. But because of
state-imposed restrictions in our
spending authority since 2011,
we have significantly less money
available to fund the entire plan
through our operating budget.
Asking for a modest override
of state-imposed spending limits
is not unusual. This year alone,
over 80 state school districts
have approached their taxpayers to seek authority to exceed
spending limits. More than 80
percent of those to-date have
been successful.
Our plan is economically conservative. Similar operational
override referendums in other
districts, which passed overwhelmingly, have asked for significantly larger funds than what
we are asking. Monona Groves
$137 per $100,000 assessed
home value and Stoughtons $80
per $100,000 were much higher
than our $38 per $100,000.
We know that in the past,
our investment in the Oregon
School District has reaped great
rewards. It is clear that the most
important factor in the success
of our students is retaining,
developing and attracting the
best teachers.
This plan, and our teachers,
are worth the investment sought
by the Nov. 8 referendum.
Steve Zach is president of the
Oregon School District Board of
Education.
Friendship pole arts initiative was a resounding success

A big thank you to all participating community members that
made the Friendship Pole Project,
the first of the Oregon School
District Community Ed Outreach
Arts Initiative, a resounding success. On Saturday, Oct. 8, many
beautiful painted poles were created. This event brought together
friends, families and artists of all
ages on a perfect day to enjoy the

outdoors and to be creative.
A special shout out to the art
teachers that gave some of their
time by volunteering to help in
so many ways. Also, thank you to
the Oregon Fire Department for
providing the event with water,
an essential in keeping those
paint brushes clean and ready
to go! Also thank you to all that

helped to get the word out. Look
for the Friendship Poles around
town soon. More opportunities
will be available in the future to
paint, create and share.

fields come from areas outside the village.
Before we made a
decision on neighborhood parks, Id like to
explore some other areas,
Park Board member Amy
Brauns said. Thats asking
a lot.
Gracz told the Observer
on Tuesday the boards gave
staff the OK to meet with
the different sports organizations in town.
Well be doing that over
the next couple of months,
he said.
He added that the village has a policy that if its

going to build new playing
fields in Jaycee Park West,
the organizations have to
come up with some of the
initial funding.
Village President Steve
Staton said he supports
asking other municipalities
whose residents use village parks to contribute to
the cost of developing new
fields. He also thinks its
a good idea to begin using
smaller parks for youth
sports and suggested the
Park Board take a look at
other areas in the village
and make a recommendation to the Village Board
which parks could be used
for various sports.
The Park Board can
figure out the criteria and
which parks can be used,
he said.

Living in Two Worlds

Ambivalence, the holding of two contrary attitudes or
feelings, is built into us. We are spiritual creatures who
seek God while living in a material world. That there is
much to love and savor about our physical existence
makes the ambivalence all the more unsettling. We
know that we should seek Gods kingdom first, but we
hold tightly to the things of this world. Ambivalence can
be unsettling in many ways. Being attracted to something while simultaneously being repelled by it think
of the cheesecake that threatens to sabotage your diet
creates a mixture of positive and negative feelings that,
for lack of a better word, just feels yucky. Psychologists tell us that these feelings tend to be processed by
different sides of the brain, and those uncomfortable
feelings are literally caused by our simultaneously experiencing opposing emotions. It would perhaps be better
if the right hand did not know what the left was doing,
but we cannot ignore or hide from ambivalence. It is in
our significant relationships, in our passions and values,
and in our very being. But where possible, we should
minimize it. We cant love our enemies as much as our
friends and we shouldnt love the world as much as we
love God.

The holidays may seem

distant, but preparation has
already begun downtown
after the Oregon Area Chamber of Commerce and Winterland Nursery teamed up to
plant a new Christmas tree in
Waterman Triangle Park last
month.
Chamber executive director Judy Knutson told the
Observer in an email that
installing a new tree has been
a goal of hers since she started the position. She was even
more motivated to pursue
that project once the chamber
purchased holiday lights two
years ago to display along
Janesville Street and several sections of Main Street,
which accompany the lights
that are already installed
each year on light poles
downtown.
I love the idea of Christmas caroling and getting the
community together to start
the holiday season out right,
Knutson wrote. Now the
tree makes it complete.
When Knutson first
stopped by the nursery to

pick out an 8-foot tree, she
teased owner Jay Gould that
she actually wanted the taller blue spruce, which stands
about 14 to 16 feet, in the
front yard. To her surprise,
he agreed to donate it, and
the tree was transported by
the S.S. Lingard Company
to Waterman Triangle Park.
It was transplanted on Monday, Sept. 19, with assistance
from Gary Disch, the assistant director of the village
public works department.
Knutson said the chamber plans to light the tree
for the very first time and
hold a holiday sing-along
at 6:30p.m. Friday, Dec. 2,
before families can head to
the Oregon Fire Department
for hot chocolate, cookies
and, possibly, a visit from
Santa. She added that the
chamber encourages people to bring their ornament
to hang on the tree, and that
those with other suggestions
on how to decorate it with
weather in mind should
contact the chamber at 8353697.

Headliners 4-H Club members held a fabric donation drive that resulted in enough for 86 pillowcases and more than 40 blankets for St. Marys.
With the 22nd annual Oregon

Firefighter/EMT Association Craft
Fair approaching on Oct. 22, the
Oregon Headliners 4-H club is
reflecting on the fabric donation
drive it held at last years event.
The club more than doubled its
initial goal of making 40 blankets
and pillowcases for patients at St.
Marys pediatric unit, ultimately
getting enough fabric to produce
86 pillowcases and more than 40
blankets.
The project was made possible
by the 4-H endowment program,
where clubs are granted money
to do community service projects. The club will return to the
craft fair this year to sell food and
baked goods.

The Oregon High School football team rallied behind sophomore quarterback Nolan Look
on Friday, but they couldnt find
a way to secure their first Badger South win of the season,
falling 10-7 to Stoughton.
Decimated by injuries all season, the Panthers entered their
final game of the season without starting quarterback Steven
Moravec and offensive lineman
Hunter Schultz, who were both
knocked out earlier in the season.

Junior quarterback Cedric
Girard, who had played well
the previous week in Oregons
lone win, didnt complete a
pass until the teams third possession of the third quarter and
was replaced by Look early in
the fourth quarter, with the team
trailing 10-0.
Cedric wasnt clicking like
last week, missing high on his
throws today, head coach Dan
Kissling said. We werent moving the ball, so we wanted to try
something different, to see if we
could make something happen. Oregon defensive lineman Dillon Hein tackles Stoughton wide receiver

Kugel earns first team all-conference honors

Last spring, Senior Hudson Kugel burst onto

the scene for the Oregon boys track and field
team and ran his way all the way to a silver
medal at state.
This fall, Kugel took another leap and joined
the Panthers cross country team Saturday to
earn first-team All-Badger South Conference
honors, helping Oregon finish fourth with a 92
at Stoughton High School.
Kugels season has seen its fair share of
ups and downs during his inaugural season,
though.
Its a big learning curve and really a mental
game, which is a tough thing to learn, he said.
Its something that didnt click for him until
two weeks at the Baertschi Invitational, a week
after his worst race of the year at the Stoughton
Invitational.

It wasnt a good race for me, Kugel said. Senior Hudson Kugel only took up cross country this season, but still managed to earn firstteam Badger South all-conference honors with his sixth-place finish Saturday in Stoughton.

Boys XC: Sectionals is next

Everybody has those days.
That just happened to be my
day.
Two weeks later, Kugel
was back at the same course
focusing on the conference
championship race.
I was just trying to not
mentally psych myself out,
he said. I knew I had a bad
race here last time, but I felt
great today and I just wanted to go out and run a better
race.
Kugel covered a soggy SHS course around the
high school in 16 minutes,
58 seconds good for
sixth place, while teammates Joshua Klahn and
Sam Hakes both earned
second-team all-conference
honors.
Kugel, who went from
the Panthers second-fastest
800 runner during the track
and field season to a state
runner-up last season, said
teammate Klahn has taken
on the role of former teammate Chris Cutter.
I didnt think Id ever
be this fast at the beginning
of the season. I thought
Josh might be because he
put in a lot of work over
the offseason, Kugel said.
Hes definitely the one
who pushed me this season
to get better just like Chris
during the track season.
Klahn finished 12th overall in 17:23.8 and Hakes
ended up 13th in 17:26.8.
Senior Nathan Buchert
crossed the 5K finish line in
17:57.2 as the teams fourth
runner, placing 21st. Junior

Connor Brickley was the
Panthers final team scorer, placing 40th overall in
18:44.3.
Senior Ben Lokuta and
sophomore Steele Mellum
also competed on varsity
but did not count toward the
team score.
Hudson, Josh, Sam and
Nathan all had outstanding races at the conference
meet head coach Erik
Haakenson said. Having
four young men in the 17s
was nice to see at the conference meet. But even
many runners on the junior
varsity had outstanding races for their last race, including Carson Timberlake, Tait
Baldus and Damien Rice. I
look forward to seeing these
men out and running next
year to compete with the
top in the conference.
Oregon travels to the
newly constructed Windsor
Sports Complex at 11a.m.
Saturday for the DeForest
sectional.
I definitely want to qualify for state, if not that, I
want to at least try to finish
in the top 20, Kugel said.
Among the field are
top-ranked Madison West,
13th-ranked Madison
Memorial and 15th-ranked
Middleton.
It will be a difficult field
to run through, Haakenson
said. However, I believe
we have individuals on the
team who can compete
for the fourth or fifth spot
individually to qualify for
state.

Saturday to finish third
overall at the conference
meet, three points ahead of
Monona Grove.

the charge for the Panthers, finishing a teamhigh 11th in 20 minutes,

Sophomores Kaity

Kliminski took 13th

running the course in middle school made it a little

I was really aiming to
finish first-team, but the
goal was to beat Stoughton because they are our
biggest rivals, Kliminski
said. I didnt really know
what to expect today. I
tried to stick with Zoe the
entire time. We (and Lauren) pushed each other the
entire race and just did our

The move nearly worked, too.
Junior linebacker Brett Wannebos
helped set up Oregons offense with
its best starting field position, recovering a fumble at the Stoughton 40.
Looks first pass to Austin McCormack drew a pass-interference flag
to move the sticks. Two plays later,
the sophomore found junior receiver Kardelle Phillips, who outran and
outfought Stoughton defensive back
Weston Beyler for a 30-yard touchdown pass.
T h a t t o u c h d ow n wa s h u g e ,
Kissling said. Our defense was
playing pretty well, but Stoughtons
punter put us in some pretty difficult
situations. Following that touchdown, our kids were energized and
we had all the momentum.
O r eg o n m ove d f r o m i t s ow n
15-yard line to its own 44 on another pass-interference call following
a 56-yard punt Stoughtons Jaece
Newman on the ensuing drive. But
the Panthers ran out of gas on thirdand-8.
The Panthers defense came up
with one more stop, but the Vikings
punter this time pinned the Oregon
offense on its own 1-yard line.

Look and the offense had hope
following a 30-yard pass to Cullen
Gahagan. Four plays later, however, Stoughton junior linebacker
Gavin Miller had a strip sack which
was recovered by senior defensive
lineman Nathan Krueger to seal the
game with 45 seconds remaining.
The Vikings lone touchdown
came early in the second quarter
after they took a 15-yard personal
foul penalty for unnecessary roughness on a punt return.
Junior quarterback Jonathan Malueg caught Oregon defensive back
Cullen Gahagan looking in the backfield on the next play and burned
the Panthers with a 43-yard strike to
senior wide receiver Darvell Peeples
all alone across the field on a oneman route.
Stoughton added a go-ahead
touchdown on its first possession of
the second half, when Dylan Bennett recovered a fumble to set up the
Vikings on the Oregon 39.
The Vikings drove to the eight
before Sam McHone split the
uprights with a 25-yard field goal.
Oregon finished 1-8 overall and
0-6 in the Badger South, while
Stoughton ended the regular season

6-3, 4-2 to earn the teams second
playoff berth in the past three seasons.
Its true, Kissling said. We lost
possibly another starter (Noah Karpelenia) tonight with a knee injury.
Its just been one of those seasons
for us.
Schultz missed nearly the entire
season, playing only in one game,
while Davis Christensen missed
a good chunk of the season. Jon
Klus was limited and Moravec was
knocked out for the season with
three games remaining.
Oregon graduates 18 seniors from
this season but returns a lot of talent
next season.
Theres definitely a chance were
a playoff team again next year, but
weve got to stay healthy, Kissling
said. Were losing all of our line.
Despite the injuries, our line was
still a big thing for us this year.
Weve got to get some guys that can
fill those positions.
We may be a little thinner next
year and have more guys that need
to play both ways, but it should be
exciting.

The Oregon Fire Protection District revealed plans
to build a new station in the
area next to the Village Hall
and the present fire equipment garages located on
the site of the former Jens
Anderson home. The village had acquired property
about three y ears earlier.
(Note: This new building
was part of the building prior to the present structure).
D r. J o h n P l u m m e r
was appointed to the Village Board to fill the term
of Erwin Olson, who had
accepted a position with
the police department. The
permanent employees at
the police department were
chief Joe Lockwood, Leo
Whit and Erwin Olson. Jay
Bossingham and Don Bunnell served as substitutes
whenever needed. Later in
the month Bill Newton was
hired as a full-time police
officer with Erwin Olson
reverting to a part-time position.
The Womens Club welcomed 21 new members at
a Get Acquainted Tea
held at the home of Mrs.

move the operations of the
old store known as The Corner Store Super Market, to
the new facility. This older
store, located near the area
of the present day Madsen
Park, was once the site of

Budget: Increase in road construction budget

average-value home.
Part of the reason for the
additional funding ability
is a 6 percent increase in
the villages assessed value, from $933.9 million to
$990.6 million.
The average home value in the village has been
assessed at $257,300, up
almost 4.8 percent from last
years value of $243,600.
That equates to a $64.46
increase in the villages portion of the property tax bill,
compared to about $35 last
year.
Gracz said getting the
overall figure below $60 is
going to be tough.
If we have some people during open enrollment
take family health insurance,
then it wont happen, he
said. But if nothing changes, Ill be going to the Nov.
14 meeting with some possible adjustments to get to that
levy.
Gracz said the villages
various departments will
receive close to what they
requested in spending next
year. The most apparent
exception is OCA Media,
the villages cable access
TV, which requested about
$127,000 but was approved
Monday for $112,000.
The organizations treasurer, Kermit Traska, told the
board if that $15,000 difference remains in the adopted
budget, it would be made up
in employee salaries.
The total tax levy in the
adopted preliminary budget
increases 5.23 percent, from
$5.1 million to $5.4 million.
Proposed increases
The largest increase in
spending proposed for next
year is in the police department, which would add an

2013: $415,973
The village is receiving
$87,547 less over the
past two years.
* Increase from part time to full time

officer at a cost of about
$90,000.
In addition, the Village
Board approved $151,000
for a new records-management system and $37,000
for a squad car, though both
are capital items that will
be put on the villages debt
load.
The village is spending
about $24,000 more on the
Oregon Area Senior Center next year, although the
centers budget is increasing only by $6,000. About
$18,000 of the increase is
a result of the Village of
Brooklyns decision to withdraw from a multi-municipal agreement to fund the
center.
Gracz told the board that
with its 2017 contribution,
the village will have spent
about $100,000 more than
usual on the senior center
over the past four years.
Our support for the center has gone up, he said.
The preliminary budget
shows a $31,518 increase
in spending on the library,
to $516,945 in 2017. The
increase is part of an anticipated four-year effort to
get the library to meet Dane
County standards, a requirement for the library to continue receiving county funding, which is a little more
than a quarter of its total
budget.
The village plans to spend
some $26,000 more next
year by making the deputy clerk position at Village
Hall full-time, and the budget includes a one-time levy

increase of $48,000 for sick
leave (from $18,500 this
year to $66,429 in 2017).
Thats a result of retired
Public Works director Mark
Below receiving a cash payout for accrued sick leave.
Instead of paying Mark
out over a certain number
of years, were going to pay
him out at the beginning of
next year, Gracz explained.
Next year well fix the program for the rest of the people who are eligible for it
so it doesnt happen again
going forward.
Graczs plan includes a
$30,000 increase in the legal
budget and also calls for a
1.5 percent across-the-board
increase in employee salaries for $20,000 in market wage adjustments.
More streets spending

The board approved
spending almost $100,000
more next year on improving street surfaces, from
$211,500 this year to

$310,000. The villages
reconstruction projects budget increases from $296,000
to $310,000, with a reconstruction of Jefferson Street
from the railroad bridge to
Ash Street and rebuilding
North Burr Oak Avenue
from Jefferson Street to the
culvert at Badfish Creek.
I t s a l s o a l l o c a t i n g
$20,000 for crack filling
and $80,000 for chip sealing. And the preliminary
budget includes $50,000 for
relocating the villages compost site in anticipation of
extending North Perry Parkway in 2018.
The capital equipment
budget includes $120,000
for replacing three public
works trucks and $15,000
for computer replacements.

Reimens plan calls for
a three-story building with
63 dwelling units mostly
studio and one-bedroom
apartments. Reimen said
the facility would have
underground parking, and
he proposed enlarging the
parking area behind the
South Main Street businesses and sharing the
space with the village.
He said the apartment
building would appeal
primarily to young professionals and empty-nesters.
Reimen told the board
he intends to present a
general development plan
to the Planning Commission next month and
would seek tax-increment
financing assistance for
the project.
Rau said the traffic
study would be a great
opportunity to fix some of
the ills in the area, which
he said suffers from too
many access points.
He also praised the
developers building plans
and said a traffic study
would show how increased
traffic in the area could
work.
Village attorney Matt
Dregne added that the
project is targeting a
critical piece of property downtown, and that a
traffic study for the area is
necessary.
With the Spanrie Group
paying half the cost of the
study, This is a good time
to do it, he said.
