Letters to the editor policy

Unified Newspaper Group is proud to offer a venue for public
debate and welcomes letters to the editor, provided they comply
with our guidelines.
Letters should be no longer than 400 words. They should also
contain contact information the writers full name, address,
and phone number so that the paper may confirm authorship.
Unsigned or anonymous letters will not be printed under any cir-
cumstances.
The editorial staff of Unified Newspaper Group reserves the
right to edit letters for length, clarity and appropriateness. Letters
with libelous or obscene content will not be printed.
Unified Newspaper Group generally only accepts letters from
writers with ties to our circulation area.
Letters to the editor should be of general public interest. Let-
ters that are strictly personal lost pets, for example will not be
printed. Letters that recount personal experiences, good or bad,
with individual businesses will not be printed unless there is an
overwhelming and compelling public interest to do so. Letters
that urge readers to patronize specific businesses or specific reli-
gious faiths will not be printed, either. Thank-you letters can be
printed under limited circumstances, provided they do not con-
tain material that should instead be placed as an advertisement
and reflect public, rather than promotional interests.
Unified Newspaper Group encourages lively public debate on
issues, but it reserves the right to limit the number of exchang-
es between individual letter writers to ensure all writers have a
chance to have their voices heard.

This policy will be printed from time to time in an abbreviated

form here and will be posted in its entirety on our websites.

In 22nd year with On the Web

SAMANTHA CHRISTIAN
Unified Newspaper Group

As the son, grandson,
nephew and brother of bank-
ers, Jim Tubbs has been
exposed to the banking
industry his whole life.
Since 2011, Tubbs has
been the
president and
CEO of State
Bank of Cross
Plains, which
has nine
locations in
Dane Coun-
ty, including Tubbs
one at 744 N.
Main St., Oregon. And this
year, Madison-based InBusi-
ness Magazine named him
the Medium Company Exec-
utive of the Year.
Tubbs attributes the award
to his philosophy of being
extremely transparent and
keeping open lines of com-
munication with his employ-
ees, who nominated him for
the award.
Ive always had a true
belief that you lead by exam-
ple, he said. The more
knowledge we can provide
our employees to understand
how they make a difference
within our bank and within
the communities they serve,
the better theyre going to
be.
To be successful, Tubbs
believes its important to
surround himself with great
people, which he sees exem-
plified in the bank family
of directors and nearly 200
employees.
Our employees are our
most important asset, he
said.
In his time as bank pres-
ident, Tubbs created an
employee stock ownership
program, revamped the stra-
tegic plan and hired a ded-
icated learning and devel-
opment officer to help with
employee development.
Tubbs started the ESOP
at the bank in 2012. Since
then most of the employees
have become shareholders,
and they are kept up-to-date
about the bank financials and
strategic plan.
Tubbs said the very
robust, brand new strate-
gic plan, which has been
in the works for the past
six months, has enabled the
company to start considering
the possibility of expanding
into other communities. The
bank has seen tremendous
growth in loan activity and
gathering deposits, he add-

For the first time all season,
the Oregon High School base-

losing end of a Badger South
Conference game.
The Panthers hosted Fort
Atkinson on Tuesday and fell
6-1.
Oregon loaded the bases
in the bottom of the seventh
inning with one out, and Jack
Haufle had an RBI walk to
plate Jordan Helmkamp. But
that was the only scoring for
the Panthers.
Nik Richardson, Eric
Modaff and Carson Timber-
lake were all 2-for-4.
Cedric Girard took the loss.
He allowed four earned runs
on six hits in five innings,
striking out five and walking
two.
Brandon Knobel finished
the game and allowed an
earned run on three hits in
two innings, striking out four.

The Panthers used four
pitchers to preserve a 5-0
win Friday at nonconference

Ian Schildgen earned the
win, allowing a hit and two
walks in two innings, strik-
ing out three. Girard followed
and allowed a hit and a walk
in two innings, striking out

Oregon, MG (ppd.)
Oregon was supposed
to travel to take on Mono-

but the game was postponed
once again due to rain.
The originally scheduled
matchup with Watertown was
also canceled.

announced by the Observers
Tuesday deadline.
JEREMY JONES
Sports editor
The Oregon boys track and field team
traveled to Monona Grove for a trian-
gular Tuesday against the Badger South
rival Silver Eagles and Fort Atkinson.
The host Silver Eagles won the meet
handily, scoring 96 points. Oregon was
second with 46 and Fort Atkinson fin-
ished third with 44.
I wouldnt count us out just yet,
coach Ned Lease said in regards to con-
ference. The boys have the goal to
repeat. We just have to put ourselves in
a position to win. It all comes down to
being competitive.
Someone might look at us winning
last year and say it was because of some-
one like Alex Duff, but where the confer-
ence title comes from is guys like Lucas
Mathews, who scored in the 100, 200
and 400. Thats the difference between
fourth and eighth place.

push the Oregon girls track and field
team past the host Silver Eagles.
The Panthers ultimately fell just shy of
Monona Grove 72-68, while Fort Atkin-

Logan Meier added the 400 dash title
in 51.75, but it was Jahlil Turner, who
posted a 52.67 for second place in his
first time running that event that drew the
praise of coach Ned Lease.
Jahlil has always been solid in the
100, and weve just kept moving him
up, Lease said. Hes been a really self-
less teammate this season, doing whatev-
er we as coaches ask him to do.
Nick Borden was another standout on
Tuesday, winning the 3,200 in a personal
best 11:15.

The younger Egwuonwu sister added

makes up for in ferocity, coach Ned

has owned the hurdles with Alexis out,
and her field events are starting to come

Oregon Relays
The Panthers saw solid performances
from a couple of sprint relays and field
events Friday to finish second at the Ore-
gon Relays with 44.6 points.
Greg DeBroux, Matt Kissling, Tony
Akale and Turner won the 4x100 relay
in 45.71, and Logan Meier, John Auer,
Kugel and Kissling added the 4x400 in
3:35.43. Oregon and DeForest were both
disqualified in the 4x200.
Nathan Buchert, Josh Klahn, Kugel
and Meier finished second to DeForest
(10:58.3) in the 4x1,000 with a time of
11:29.87.
Auer (20-0) and Turner (19-4 3/4)
went 1-2 in the long jump to give Oregon
top honors. Conner Drake (45-0) and
Sam Reynolds (40-0) matched the feat in
the shot put, and Reynolds won the dis-
cus with a 113-0 to lead Oregon to vic-
tory there.
Turner won the triple jump (39-5 1/2)
but Oregon finished second as a relay.
McCorkle (33-9 1/2) and Jamie
Schrimpf (30 1/2) held the shot put on
lockdown, finishing 1-2-3 for the teams

Its great to count on those girls
for points, but I know they are not sat-

ships, he expects to mainly run
the 800, 400 and occasionally the
600 during the indoor season for
the Badgers. Kugel said he didnt
begin thinking about running col-
legiately until his junior year and
he knows hell have to work much
harder in the offseason to enjoy
the same sort of success in col-
lege he has in high school.
Part of the reason he hasnt had
to train much in the offseason
may be the natural ability Kugel
has been blessed with it. But he
works hard during the track sea-
son, ran cross country for the
first time last fall, cross trains
and plays CYO (Catholic Youth
Organizations) basketball in the
winter.
In an age of specialization,
Hudson is a multi-sport athlete,
who has reaped the benefits,
Oregon coach Ned Lease said.
Still, Kugel knows there is plen-
ty more hard work on the horizon
when he gets to college.
Hes already talked with the
coaches at UW about doing some
track meets over the summer,
including the Midwest Distance
Classic at Benedict University (
Lisle, Ill.) the day before grad-
uation, June 10. He said he will
probably practice with the UW
cross country team and maybe
compete in a few meets with the
team, but he wont officially be a
member of that squad.
Until this year, Kugel has rare-
ly been the top 800 runner on his
team growing up in Oregon.
I guess it all started in sev-
enth or eighth grade, Kugel said.
I dont want to say Ive always
been in Chris (Cutter) shadow. I
have always been kind of chasing
him, trying to beat his records and
not quite getting there.
That all started to change
during the final three weeks of
last season.
Cutter broke the school record
at regionals and again at sec-
tionals, where Kugel tied the
new mark. Kugel then set a new
benchmark by .02 seconds at the
WIAA Division 1 state meet in
1:54.97 which was good enough
for second place.
I didnt think it was even pos-
sible. Nothing is ever guaran-
teed, he said. I think Ive always
kept that in the back of my head.

Ordinances: Caution over
police department tool
Continued from page 1
chief Brian Uhl suggested
he had a specific building
in mind but did not identi-
fy it.
In each case, trustees
asked if there was an exist-
ing problem, and in both
cases Uhl said yes, but not
necessarily a large one he
rather preferred to be pro-
active.
That wasnt a problem
with the animal ordinance,
which could cover chickens,
bees, ferrets, goats and the
like and could even address
what animals might be ille-
gal to own in the village,
such as exotic pets.
The nuisance ordinance,
however, was a far more
touchy subject, with some
trustees concerned it could
have unintended conse-
quences and fail to address
the root causes of problems.
Anecdotal evidence pre-
sented by Village attorney
Matt Dregne and his staff
suggested enforcement in
smaller communities typ-
ically doesnt go beyond
a letter sent to a building
owner (in larger cities it
can be used to clear drug
houses). However, the
effect can be discrimina-
tory, attorney Holly Wil-
son acknowledged.
It affects primarily peo-
ple of color and low-in-
come residents, she said.
Landlords abate through
eviction.
After an extended dis-
cussion on that point, the
board decided not to invest
heavy attorney fees devel-
oping the ordinance until
it has more information.
Board members will do
some of their own research
on the effects of such ordi-
nances, the police depart-
ment will check with oth-
er departments to find out
how theyre being used,
Dregnes staff will provide
copies of such ordinances
and the board will discuss
it further at another meet-
ing.
At that meeting, Lt.
Get Connected
Search for us on Facebook as Oregon Observer and then LIKE us.
Whats next
Staff will return with
information on both
ordinances, likely at the
June 5 meeting, for
corrections or further
guidance. If trustees are
happy with them, theyll
return for a second
reading.
Jennifer Pagenkopf will be
on hand to provide a fem-
inine perspective for the
department. Trustees Jenna
Jacobson and Jeanne Car-
penter worried that Uhls
zeal to make the commu-
nity safe could come at the
expense of vulnerable res-
idents, including battered
women.
All thats going to hap-
pen is the landlord is going
to evict those people and
try to get better tenants in,
Carpenter said. I dont
know what that serves
except those people now
have no place to live.
Village President Steve
Staton agreed with the con-
cerns of both sides.
At some point theres
got to be a consequence,
he said. Problem is, there
arent a lot of services.
Uhl suggested that solv-
ing the problems of poverty
is outside the scope of his
mission.
Our job is to make sure
our community is safe and
that people want to live
here, he said.
Trustee Jeff Boudreau
said the village should trust
in the police and the per-
son it hired to lead them to
apply it appropriately.
Im inclined to want
you to support the chief
with all good caution and
a properly written ordi-
nance, he said.
