Groundbreaking sets future vision Yet-unnamed elementary school to open for fall 2020 SCOTT DE LARUELLE Unified Newspaper Group

Oregon High School graduate Bailey Jerred shakes hands with school board member Krista Flanagan during the graduation ceremony Sunday, June 9.

Smiles on the way out O r eg o n H i g h S c h o o l seniors said goodbye to high school Sunday, June 9, at the school’s graduation ceremony in the gymnasium. With the stands filled in both the upper and lower decks, students heard from district leaders and three of their fellow students encouraging them in their futures. Principal Jim Pliner, who

began at the school the same year these students were freshmen, told them they would be missed. “Congratulations to you all,” Pliner said. “I love you, 2019.” Students Emmanuelle Hannibal, Grayden Gruchow and Isabelle Krier each offered their advice for growing in the future.

Hannibal encouraged seeking out people with different opinions, Gruchow spoke about the importance of relationships and kindness and Krier recalled how they overcame the fear they had beginning high school — so they can overcome anything that’s ahead. – Scott Girard

Summer Fest is back next weekend New carnival, yoga classes among features EMILIE HEIDEMANN Unified Newspaper Group

Oregon’s kickoff to summer returns later this month, with a mostly familiar schedule and a new twist on a main attraction. Summer Fest 2019 will be filled with the usual favorites – live music, fireworks, athletic tournaments, a car show, “Thrilla on the Grilla” and, of course, the parade on Sunday. This year’s festivities will begin at 5 p.m. Thursday, June 20, and go through Sunday, June 23, on the Summer Fest grounds at Kiser Firemen’s Park, 245 Brook St. Since 1964, the festival has grown

to be a family oriented event that features something for everyone to do, Oregon Area Chamber of Commerce executive director Judy Knutson told the Observer. A new addition this year is a carnival that caters to a more teenage audience, Knutson said, with Spectrum Carnival taking over operations. There will also be free yoga classes before some of the Saturday races, a new endeavor this year, she said. The Spectrum Carnival will offer more ride options to encompass a broader set of people, Knutson said. T h e c a r n iva l w i l l t a ke p l a c e from 5-10 p.m. Thursday, June 20; 5-11 p.m. Friday, June 21; noon to 11 p.m. Saturday, June 22; 12:306 p.m. Sunday, June 23. Midway hours are the same hours as the carnival.

Attendees have the option of purchasing a megaband to ride all weekend, which costs $50 in advance or $60 at the midway. Daily wristbands will cost $20 in advance or $25 at the midway. Presale wristbands are available at the Oregon Area Chamber of Commerce office, 117 Spring St.; Oregon Community Bank, 733 N. Main St.; and Hometown Pharmacy, 815 N. Main St. Jim Saari, public relations manager for the Spectrum Carnival, said visitors will be able to choose from larger rides like the Eli 16 Ferris Wheel, the Zipper and the Gee Wizz or kiddie rides as well. There will also be an assortment of carnival food available, including

Oregon School District officials, students and Fitchburg dignitaries symbolically broke ground on a new elementary school in the new Terravessa development last week. They better keep those shovels handy. For the next several years, Fitchburg – which occupies the far northern portion of the district – will be the epicenter of construction projects, potentially including a middle school the district has already acquired land for. With the student population expected to jump from around 4,000 to more than 6,000 by 2030, the district identified the fast-growing northern section as the most effective location for new schools to prevent overcrowding in existing schools. The grades K-6

elementary celebrated June 6 near the Lacy Road interchange was seen as the most pressing need, with a new middle school planned for the mid-2020s to address the expected increase of students in that age group. The elementary school is expected to open ahead of the 2020-21 school year, with changes to attendance areas still to be determined. Funded by the $47 million referendum approved in November, the district spent about $2.1 million for around 12 acres in the Terravessa development for the new K-6 elementary school, as well as $250,000 for road development. The district also spent $926,080 for around 1 0 7 a c r e s o ff C o u n t y Hwy. M in Fitchburg for a planned middle school. Funding for the middle school would necessitate another referendum as early as 2022, according to district projections.

‘Senior Seminar’

OHS students discuss futures in capstone discussions EMILIE HEIDEMANN Unified Newspaper Group

The room was abuzz with Oregon High School seniors and juniors telling community members and business people what they were going to do with their futures. Some of that planning was guided by what they took away from their Senior Seminar course. Students were paired with two adults for their capstone discussions Wednesday, June 5 – one business or community figure, and an educator. The adults asked the students questions like, “How do you feel ready for your next steps?” and “Which skills and abilities from your high school experience do you think will help you after graduation?” One student, Abby Rau, interviewed with superintendent Brian Busler and Anna Petrie of Pure Integrity Homes, Inc. “While I was very nervous going into the discussion, once I was talking to the interviewers, it was as if

it were a normal conversation,” Rau told the Observer. “I had nothing to worry about because what we discussed was my story, everything that I had worked on up to that moment.” Sara Kissling, business education and information technology teacher and academic and career planning coordinator, has taught the Senior Seminar course since 2017. The capstone discussions are like the punctuation mark for students to reflect on what they’ve learned during the class, she said. Kissling said the students learn financial literacy – how to budget, how to deal with student loans, how to do a labor market analysis on jobs, how to compare colleges, how to build a resume and even how to discuss finances with parents. The students also write an autobiography about themselves and a biography Photos by Emilie Heidemann about a famous person they admire, which is part of a Oregon High School student Faith Trinidad, center, opens up with her interviewers about her aspirations and what her Senior unit on “grit” and “growth Seminar class taught her. mindset,” which encourages self-reflection.

She said the class helps her connect with students on a deeper and more personal level, which in turn helps the students realize it’s okay to be vulnerable and express themselves. They undergo reality checks when they go over budget or find that a career doesn’t offer as much money as they would like, and Kissling said she is there to guide them through every Anna Petrie of Pure Integrity Homes, Inc. and Oregon School District superintendent Brian Busler interview a student during last Wednesday’s capstone discussions. step of it.

‘It’s Their Game’ Unified Newspaper Group

Nothing spoils youth sports programs quite the way adults do. Changing the culture of Oregon area youth athletics – specifically overzealous parents and coaches – is one of the top goals of the district’s Youth Sports and Athletics Task Force, comprising district administrators, teachers and residents. The group is spearheading a major push this year to make athletics in the district more equitable and accessible. Its overall goal, co-chair Krista Flanagan said earlier this year, has been to “ensure youth sports and athletic programs are built upon a foundation of learning and our sports culture is a strong and positive one.” And one of its first recommendations was finding a way to do handle poor sportsmanship. Members of the task force updated school board members on recent progress at Monday’s meeting, including working up a logo and slogan to help emphasize the importance of good sportsmanship. “You can be competitive at the highest level and still be educational,” said school board president Steve Zach, a former OHS athlete who talked about his experiences in youth sports. “I ran youth baseball for 12 years, and I was a game official and I now do neither,” he said. “I frankly got tired of fighting the culture in both capacities, and it think it is a cultural thing that has to happen.” Zach told members of the task force that in his experience, youth sports often struggle to “educate parents who have a different philosophy” about the goals of the programs. “Those who are strongwilled and have the ability by either time or money to dedicate to that can take over a team or sport or a philosophy if you don’t have a solid culture in

She’s a relatively recent addition to the Town of Oregon, but Kimberly Graff is already a “Hometown Hero.” A retired Marine and current president/CEO of Protecting Military Families in Wisconsin, Graff was honored by the Wisconsin Assembly as a “Hometown Hero” at its May 15 session. She was nominated by Rep. Don Vruwink (D-Milton), for her “continued service to her country and community.” Protecting Military Families in Wisconsin is a small but determined nonprofit group working to pass legislation in Wisconsin to help military families with custody situations. It’s an issue Graff became familiar with when she and her husband (also a Marine) ran into custody issues with his children from a previous marriage. Graff, who moved here from Milton earlier this year, told the Observer getting the award at the State Capitol was “overwhelming,” and credited Vruwink for being a “huge proponent” of the group’s efforts. “I kind of cornered him at a listening session and sat down and went over the whole thing, and ever since then, he’s been in my corner,” she said. Graff ended up in the Marines after her life took a terrible turn. She had married her first husband shortly after graduating from high school, and the two were soon involved in a car crash that hospitalized her and took his life. She said it set her on a destructive path. When she decided to improve her lot, she looked at the military and considered the Air Force until she met with a Marine recruiter. “He talked me into going to one of their PT (physical training) workouts, and a couple months later, I was going to boot camp,” she

said. “I’m someone who doesn’t give up … it was a change, and it was hard, but after everything I went through with the car accident, it was a relief, because I didn’t have to think about anything.” Graff became a chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear defense specialist in March 2013 and later deployed to the South Pacific and Australia. The following year, she remarried, and the couple had a daughter and later moved back to Wisconsin. Things were fine until he was sent away for several months’ training, and they were shocked to find out he didn’t have any say over custody of his two children from a previous marriage. “According to state law, we didn’t have that right,” Graff said. “And she was definitely going to not let us see them when he was gone. My daughter should be able to see her siblings.”

place,” he said. “And that takes time.” The group’s “working draft” theme is “It’s Their Game,” to remind parents kids should be the center of attention. Task force member Tim Erickson said the group has learned there has been a “huge amount of game officials quitting throughout high school sports.” H e r e f e r r e d t o s eve r a l OHS baseball games that couldn’t be made up this year because of a lack of officials. “One of the reasons is they are quitting is coming from the sidelines … from the parents,” he said. “It’s unfair to our kids. We want to get people to understand what it means to be a sport parent, not a screaming parent.” Erickson said the task force wants to use branding methods like logos and slogans to help build that positive culture. Such reminders can eventually be printed in programs and on signage around playing fields and courts. “It’s more powerful if it’s in front of you at the game,” he said. “Everybody should understand what that means when they sit in the stands. It’s a consistent message that goes from youth all the way up to high school; something that brands Oregon.” Zach asked the group to work with OSD athletic director Mike Carr on any items the board might have to budget for later in the year. Carr is currently working on the results of the task force’s survey, sent out earlier this school year, which district superintendent Brian Busler said should be available later this summer. Board members thanked the task force for their continuing efforts. “This is just fantastic,” Barb Feeney said, “How ironic we have to be educating our parents in such a direct way, but I love the directness of your messages and the idea it will be in front of parents in a lot of ways and a lot of spaces is great.” Email Unified Newspaper Group reporter Scott De Laruelle at scott.delaruelle@wcinet.com.

We should embrace our dairy heritage June is National Dairy Month, and every year I look forward to going to dairy breakfasts hosted by families in each of the four counties I represent: Rock, Walworth, Jefferson and Dane. These dairy breakfasts bring back memories of my youth on a dairy farm, when I licked the cream that rose to the top of the milk can, made home-made ice cream with milk from our farm, and ate cheddar cheese with almost every meal. Launched in 1937 as National Milk Month, it is now recognized as National Dairy Month to include the full array of dairy products. Today, our state’s dairy industry rings up $82,500 every minute. Wisconsin ranks second in milk production, only behind California. Dairy supports one out of every 10 jobs and is a $43.3 billion industry here. There was a time when the term “Cheesehead” was said derogatorily by out-of-staters with an air of superiority. However, rather than being offended, Wisconsinites embraced the name and started wearing foam cheese hats to Packer games and other festivities. We don’t shy away from our title of America’s Dairyland; we wear the title proudly. There’s a reason that school kids say “cheese” during a photo shoot: Because cheese makes you smile. Wisconsin makes a lot of cheese and continues to make more every year. In 2018, we broke our cheese production record for the 17th straight year. Wisconsin

accounted for 26 percent of the nation’s cheese production in 2018. If Wisconsin were a country, it would rank fourth in the world in cheese production. We are unabashedly proud of our dairy heritage. Not too long ago, “Eat Cheese or Die” was a popular slogan for bumper stickers and T-shirts – a play on the state motto for New Hampshire, “Live Free or Die.” Roughly 90 percent of Wisconsin’s milk is turned into cheese, and about 90 percent of that cheese is sold outside of the state. Last year, Wisconsin’s 240 cheese factories once again led the nation in cheese production, with 26 percent of the supply produced here and 49 percent of specialty cheeses like Limburger, feta, mozzarella, and Hispanic varieties. June is a special time to celebrate our dairy heritage. I am proud to represent all of the dairy farmers and workers in the 43rd Assembly District. This June, I encourage you to attend the dairy breakfast of your choice. You can find the statewide list at hooraywisconsindairy.com. State Rep. Don Vruwink represents parts of Rock, Walworth, Jefferson, and Dane counties. These include the communities of Whitewater, Milton, Edgerton, Footville, the Town of Janesville, part of the Village of Oregon, and surrounding townships.

Pro-choice is more complex than recent abortion laws

have been in conversations on Facebook concerning the recent laws passed against rights for a woman or girl to decide whether to terminate a pregnancy. The assumption that an abortion equates to murder by some Christian ideologues is disturbing. And the scope of what becomes illegal is, as well. In some cases, women who h ave m i s c a rriages could even be publicly suspected of and forced to defend themselves against criminal charges in what should be Maitzen a very private matter. Some states even would force a female to maintain a pregnancy in the case of rape and/or incest and would promote no protection for the health of the mother or for healthcare professionals. This is cruel and unusual punishment. These “right to life” proto-laws are really about power and control, and they are neither godlike or commonsensical. In reality, politicians have been using the misguided logic of this single voter issue to gain power. Many politicians are complete hypocrites and only care if they are re-elected or elected. But they use people who are sincere in their beliefs, even if they are perhaps uninformed. My understanding of a spiritual existence – which can include a superior being or not – is that one cares for and loves the planet, our home, animals, people and creativity and practices

forgiveness, love and respect. This excludes control, power, greed, destruction and dogma in any form. I learned these basic things m a ny y e a r s a g o i n S u n d a y school. But pro-lifers refuse to address the complicated issues that are included in that big picture. T h i s i n c l u d e s a ff o r d a b l e health care, access to birth control and access to safe gynecological care, all things that can reduce the demand for abortions. It also includes a lack of repercussions for the male’s involvement in the case of rape and/or incest, the ripping of children from their parents who seek a better life for their families, access to safe food and water, the reduction of hate crimes and gun control. These same politicians who support stricter abortions laws support our liberal gun laws, which do not promote a “prolife” ideology. According to Amnesty International’s website, more than 30,000 people are killed with guns each year in the United States, which accounts for 80 percent of all gun deaths among high-income countries. The morals they claim to embrace should address underfunded social services, such as public education, the pervasive problem of poverty and homelessness, fair laws, equitable justice for those who can’t pay into the legal system, an acceptance of the importance of science (which shouldn’t be diametrically opposed with religion) and many other issues. These important issues are essentially all about life and the

protection of life as we know it. Ultimately it is not my business, your business or the state’s business to deny the right to make informed and safe reproductive decisions. It is between the woman, family, husband, healthcare professionals and their god. If you are philosophically opposed to abortion, don’t choose it. These laws are not about the God-given right to choose, but the right to control a woman’s body, particularly those of lower economic classes. The rich will always have reproduction choice. They can afford to send their daughters, wives and mistresses to another state or country for whatever procedure might be needed. This kind of thinking and voting is not concerned with forgiveness, love and respect or allowing women and their healthcare experts to do the right thing in their particular situation. But it does seem futile to try to change thinking based on dogma. People will not take the time to think and research. It might be too hard, or maybe it takes too much time. The positive solution to these complex issues is to vote, and to do so thoughtfully. If you like government control over women’s health concerns at the exclusion of other important political decisions, then vote on a single issue. You will not like the results. Eventually, it will take us down a road that will be most difficult to return from for the people of the home of the responsibly free and brave. Gwen Maitzen is a Village of Oregon resident.

An article in last week’s edition of the Observer about the new Oregon Youth Center contained statements that misrepresented the educational experiences of Rome Corners Intermediate student, Tavaris Funderburg, before finding the center. When Funderburg previously attended Leopold Elementary School in Madison, he was in a dual language immersion program and didn’t know much English, making him feel lost and scared. Once in the Oregon School District, he decided to give the youth center a try as a fourth grader. Since using OYC resources, Funderburg has learned to volunteer, master his English skills and embrace what the Oregon community has to offer him. The Observer regrets the misrepresentation.

Helping Others to Help Themselves “For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat.” – 2 Thessalonians 3:10 The nineteenth century British philosopher John Stuart Mill argued persuasively for a variety of social reforms, and especially for state-supported public education, on the grounds that it “is help towards doing without help.”That is, education makes people more likely to be able to take care of themselves and live healthy, independent lives. It may be easier to just give people food or money to meet their immediate needs, but in the long run this may only foster a state of dependency,whereas if we take the time to teach the person how to fend for himself, he might fare better in the long run. Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day but teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. There are lots of ways in which we can help others to help themselves, whether it is teaching them a skill or trade, or teaching them how to drive or to read. Reading opens doors to a whole world of help, because once you teach someone how to read, it gives them access to the entire fund of human knowledge. We should consider how we might help the people in our community, or even in our own families, to be more independent. – Christopher Simon

After surviving Sauk Prairie on Saturday, June 8, junior Brooklyn Kane hugged her teammates to celebrate a return trip to state. As a defender, it was Kane’s goal on a header off a corner kick in the 61st minute that gave the Panthers the only score they would need in a 1-0 victory in the WIAA Division 2 sectional championship game.

When the Oregon girls soccer team won its last state championship in 2015, none of this year’s players were in high school. But the Panthers have been back to state every year since. Oregon rolls into its WIAA Division 2 state semifinal undefeated at 16-0-1, but with unfinished business. The Panthers were the state runner-up last year. First up in their quest to win another title is Brookfield East (8-12-1), at 7 p.m. Thursday at Uihlein Soccer Park in Milwaukee. In the other sectional semifinal, top-ranked and top-seeded Whitefish Bay (23-1) will play fourth-seeded Marshfield (14-7-2). A vital cog in Oregon’s offense has been junior forward Avary Fanning, who leads the team in goals, with 18. She is looking forward to making this trip to state one to remember. “I think we want it more than last season,” Fanning said. “We want the gold ball. It’s been a really good season, so I want it to carry on.” Oregon has thrived with its defense. The Panthers have 14 shutouts, and junior goalkeeper Melia Moyer has 38 saves, with only five goals allowed. Oregon features a defense that has four defenders and a goalie who earned Badger South All-Conference honors led by senior defender Sydney McKee, junior defender Brooklyn Kane

Coach Nelson Brownell said as soon as the Panthers turn the ball over, the player closest to the ball becomes the first defender. Brownell said the focus in practice this week will be on fine-tuning the little things like making passes on the ground since the game will be played on a turf field and communicating. But Fanning said the Panthers should not mess too much with a good thing. “I don’t want anything to change the next couple of games,” she said. “If we just play like we have been this whole season we will do great.”

Better chemistry One of the best weapons for a defense is a high-powered offense. Oregon averages 5.7 goals per game and have the firepower with eight players who have scored six or more goals this season. Fanning, in her second year year playing with junior forward Ashley Hanson and senior forward Ella Hughes, said the chemistry with the forwards is better this season and her confidence is stronger. “We struggled with the

MARK NESBITT Assistant sports editor

Six Oregon baseball players were named Badger South All-Conference last month, led by senior first baseman Matt Rusch, who was named firstteam. Rusch hit .400 with two home runs, eight RBIs and 10 runs scored. Senior first baseman Noah Brindley, junior shortstop Eddie Saucedo and sophomore pitcher Spencer Buskager were each honored as

second-team all-conference. Buskager hit a teamhigh .414. He went 3-4 on the mound and posted a 3.75 ERA with 41 strikeouts and 20 walks. Saucedo hit .302 and Brindley hit .349. Seniors Jack Haufle and Cameron Carpenter were named honorable mention. Madison Edgewood’s Thomas Hartlieb was named the player of the year. Monona Grove’s Michael Zande was pitcher of the year.

Senior Lauren Rieder and freshman Shannon Gibbons may be be on opposite ends of their prep lacrosse careers but the girls will forever before linked by one thing. Each starred on a team Friday, June 7, that gelled to win the inaugural Wisconsin Lacrosse Federation Girls Lacrosse Invitational Championship 14-9 at Schneider Stadium on the Carroll University campus in Waukesha. This season marked the first time that the

Wisconsin Lacrosse Federation decided on a state championship and a state invitational bracket for both boys and girls lacrosse. All the teams are split into two brackets with the top 16 playing for the state championship and the remainder battling to play in the state invitational championship. “The number of girls and boys lacrosse programs are growing and there is a large gap between new and emerging teams and well established programs,” coach Josh Klein said.

Nine Panthers earn Badger South honors Beale edges Riddle for NASCAR Late Model win MARK NESBITT Assistant sports editor

The Oregon girls soccer team had nine players garner Badger South All-Conference honors. Four Oregon players were named first-team all-conference — senior defender Sydney McKee and juniors Avary Fanning (forward), Brooklyn Kane (defender) and Melia Moyer (goalkeeper).

McKee was one of two players named unanimous all-conference, joining Madison Edgewood senior Jordyn Rothwell. Fanning led the team in goals (18) and Kane was second (10) this season. Moyer along, with McKee and Kane, contributed to 14 shutouts this year. Junior defender Emma Halverson, senior defender Cassie Kluck and senior

Brian Beale took home his first checkered flag of the season, winning the 30-lap NASCAR Late Models feature at MIS as part of Kids’ Night. Bobby Frisch (MISfitz), Steve Dickson (Bandits), Alex Hartwig (Bandoleros) and Dan Bishop (6Shooters) also picked up wins.

midfielder Maddy Swartzmiller were named second-team all-conference. Swartzmiller has seven goals this season. Halverson and Kluck are part of a defense that has given up only five goals this season. Both senior midfielder Katie Eisele and junior forward Kaitlyn Schrimpf were honorable mention all-conference.

Beale wins Late Model Beale edged Zack Riddle to win the 30-lap feature for the NASCAR Late Models. Pat Richgels was fastest in qualifying with a lap of 96.1 mph. Bobby Wilberg won the Dash. Wilberg and Riddle were the heat winners.

State: Panthers to play Brookfield East Continued from page 9 chemistry last year, but it got better as the season went on and it carried into this year,” Fanning said. “It makes it easier to score.” Brownell said Fanning is a lot more vocal this season, taking on a bigger leadership role this year communicating with the other forwards. “If you start as a freshman you don’t feel like you have really much of a leadership role on the team,” Fanning said. “You are just there.”

Corner kicks One area the Panthers have excelled on our set pieces like corner kicks. “The corner kick is one of the only plays in soccer you get to set up and if we run it right 100 times we should

2008. The Spartans won the state championship in 1989 before the divisional format. They finished eighth in the Greater Metro Conference this season, which was won by Division 1 state qualifier Divine Savior Holy Angels and last season’s Division 2 champion Brookfield Central. “Their record doesn’t show how good of a team they are,” Brownell said. Brownell said he expects Brookfield East to find film and watch to see how the Panthers handle attacking corner kicks. The Spartans won four straight games and clipped Cedarburg 1-0 in a sectional Brookfield East final to reach state. “If you get on a roll and Brookfield East is making its making its fourth appear- win four straight that’s all ance at state and its first since it takes to make it to state,” Brownell said. score 100 goals,” Brownell said. “We know the plays like the back of our hand.” Bronwell said the key is getting to the open space first. Kane is second on the team with 10 goals. She scored all three goals in two sectional games on headers off corner kicks. Brownell said having a defender like Kane scoring so many goals is not something he expected to see at the start of the season. “It comes down to who wants the ball more,” he said. “Brooklyn has done a good job of fighting for the ball and being the first one before a defender.”

Two in a row for Frisch Bobby Frisch picked up his second straight win in the 20-lap feature for the Dave’s White Rock MISfitz. Scott Riedner was fast time with a lap of 89.6 mph. Gary

Continued from page 9 The Panthers had three shots on goal in the first four minutes of the second half. Senior Katie Eislele had a shot sail over the top of the cross bar. It all changed when Kane scored her third goal in two games on a header off a corner kick by Halverson in the 62nd minute. It marked Kane’s 10th goal this season. Sauk Prairie goalkeeper Bridget Fabian made a diving save of junior forward Avary Fanning’s shot in the 59th minute. The Panthers used a faster tempo in the second half. “We got away from it in the first half, which is why we didn’t have as many opportunities in the first half,” coach Nelson Brownell said. “We were just trying to do what we have been doing all season. They didn’t have a whole lot of subs. With the way we play and sub we were able to take advantage of that.” It appeared that Fanning had scored in the 76th minute to give the Panthers a two-goal lead. The goal was wiped out because of an offsides call. Sauk Prairie had two golden opportunities in the 83rd minute, including one shot that went over the crossbar. “I think we all wanted it so bad to go back again for the

seniors and everyone,” Fanning said. Brownell said Fabain played fantastic in goal for Sauk Prairie. “We kept putting pressure on and taking shots,” he said. “The thing about this team is we are not going to let things get to us. We are going to continue to attack and put balls on frame.” Oregon junior goalkeeper Melia Moyer had one save. Brownell said the team has to keep putting shots on goal and make sure they are finishing opportunities. “We may not get that many opportunities,” he said.

Oregon 5, DeForest 2 Kane has a knack for being in the right spot at the right time on corner kicks. Kane used her leaping ability to score two goals on headers to lead Oregon to a 5-2 win over DeForest in a WIAA Division 2 sectional semifinal Thursday at Huntoon Field. “Honestly, I’m so excited for all of the seniors, especially (coach Brownell) because it’s his last year with us,” Kane said. “We really want to win it (state title) for him and the seniors” Brownell is moving to Washington in July for a new job. Three of the Panthers’ five goals against DeForest were

scored off corner kicks. “Sydney McKee and me work really well in the box,” Kane said. “It’s always us two trying to get our head on the ball or a volley.” Kane credited senior Emma Halverson and junior Hanna Rohrer for serving good corner kicks. Kane said if it wasn’t for Halverson and Rohrer, the Panthers wouldn’t score off corner kicks. The Panthers led 1-0 at the 50-minute mark, when the teams began picking up momentum, adding five goals in around three minutes. Senior midfielder Maddy Swartzmiller scored on a penalty kick in the 50th minute to give the Panthers a 2-0 lead. Moments later, Kane had her first goal on a header off a corner kick by Halverson to extend the Panthers’ lead to 3-0. A minute later, the Noskies scored. Kane scored her second goal on a header to give the Panthers a 4-2 lead. DeForest’s Mandy Fitzgerald scored 30 seconds later to slice Oregon’s lead to two goals with 11 minutes left. Junior forward Ashley Hanson added a goal on an assist by Fanning in the 81st minute. The Panthers got on the board first with Anna Roherer scoring on a corner kick at 11:47.

“I feel this was a good decision by the WLF. It encourages all teams to play in the games and it gives new and emerging programs a chance to experience bracket play without the David vs. Goliath aspect.” Rieder struck first for Oregon Friday but Westside freshman Sophie Gebhardt answered with three straight goals five minutes to give Westside a 3-1 lead early. The Panthers proved more than capable of showing their own quick-strike offense as senior Autumn Copus, junior Ellie Tomczyk and Gibbons

scored 28 seconds apart to put Oregon up 4-3. It was a lead the team would never relinquish, as a goal by junior Emma Wollangk and two more by Rieder and Gibbons pushed Oregon’s lead to 8-4 at halftime. Westside (10-5 overall, 5-4 conference) had beaten Oregon 19-11 during the regular season, a game in which the Panthers were down five starters. Madison West senior Haley Meskin had six goals and an assist in that game but she did not play Friday as she was on a college visit. Freshman Daryn O’Malley scored her first goal with 16 minutes remaining in the

second half goal for a 10-7 lead. Goals by sophomore Payton Urfer, Copus and Wollangk extended the lead to 13-8 with a little more than 8 minutes remaining. Klein called the team, “the best mental conditioned team,” he has ever coached and said the girls as “a total team.” “While we don’t pay much attention to the scoreboard, we do feel winning is important,” Klein said. “But helping form young athletes into young productive employable adults is more important. Winning is a byproduct of a highly functional total team philosophy.”

School: ‘Net zero’ elementary building to have geothermal heating,cooling, solar panels Continued from page 1 celebration” of the beginning of construction on the district’s fourth elementary school. “This new school will help us continue the long-standing tradition of having schools closely located to where students live,” he wrote in an email to the Observer. The approximately 130,000 square foot building will have state-of-the-art energy efficiencies, designed to be a “net zero” building, which means it will produce at least as much energy as it uses. Some energy efficiency features include solar panels, geothermal heating/cooling and a building location strategically placed to take advantage of natural light. Staff were also included on the design team to ensure the school meets the district’s educational goals, and have incorporated features known to create relevant and empowering learning opportunities, with warm and inviting classrooms, group collaboration spaces, small group instruction rooms, an outdoor classroom, three inner courtyards and a butterfly garden.
