‘Inviting spaces’ in new places Collaborative spaces, natural connections a focus in new elementary school SCOTT DE LARUELLE Unified Newspaper Group
The designs for the Oregon School District’s new elementary school under construction off County Hwy MM in Fitchburg put an emphasis on creating “inspiring learning spaces.” They incorporate modern elements while keeping true to existing district standards for elementary schools. In addition to several playgrounds, there are three inner courtyards, a butterfly garden and several dedicated
collaboration areas designed for staff to make presentations to larger groups, or for multiple classrooms to work together on projects. Solving problems collaboratively is an important part of the district’s focus for the future, and those educational ideas are embodied in the new design of the approximately 130,000 square foot building, with dedicated spaces for collaboration and small group instruction. There is also a focus on natural aspects, from the site location itself to outdoor classroom and garden areas to facilitate the district’s ongoing focus on green and healthy initiatives. The school will be the first “net zero” school building in Wisconsin, said Nathan Schieve of Bray
Architects, meaning it will create more energy than it produces. While the building will feature technologies already in use in the district like LED lighting and solar panels, he said the “size and careful coordination of each system” in the new school will enable it to have the “net zero” designation. After the successful referenda last fall to pay for the land and school, district officials established a 19-member design team comprising staff and administrators to work with Bray Architects. The idea was to develop design concepts that would be consistent with the district’s stated goals and values, district superintendent Brian Busler

Businesses explain failures, policies for alcohol checks AMBER LEVENHAGEN Unified Newspaper Group
Some owners and managers told the Village Board on Monday they’re frustrated with their attempts to pass alcohol compliance checks. Three businesses failed the June compliance checks, Senor Peppers, Ace’s Main Tap and Mulligan’s, all for the second time within the last year.
The Oregon Police Department also identified “problematic” behavior in other businesses, such as scanning IDs multiple times before rejecting a sale. Owners of the three businesses were asked to talk to the Village Board Monday night to discuss how they will take action to prevent this issue from happening again. All businesses said they have revisited policy about how to train new
employees and some have even taken the initiative to implement new technology that could help their servers make the right decision. Magaly Richter, owner of Senor Peppers, said she has gotten an app for the server’s iPads that scans IDs and alerts the user if the customers are underage or not. It can also register if the ID is fake. The app isn’t free, but she said she doesn’t care if
she has to pay extra to keep people safe. “I don’t want anymore of this; I feel so frustrated,” she said. “I want to cover my business and my license and I don’t want anything to happen to the kids.” The board didn’t take any action, but trustees offered a few suggestions to prevent compliance issues from happening again.

Brewery proposed Netherwood Brewing Company up for review SCOTT GIRARD Unified Newspaper Group
Netherwood Brewing Company is up for a conceptual review at the Village of Oregon Planning Commission meeting at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 8. The proposal, which would locate the brewery at 201 Concord Dr., across from Headquarters, comes from Headquarters owner Jamie Bush and Supreme Structures president Dan
Bertler, according to the commission agenda. The review is a chance for the developer to get feedback from commissioners on the initial designs, but there will not be any vote yet. The drawings included in the packet show a twophase project that would include outdoor seating, an area for yard games, a tasting room and several small brew kettles. There would also be a covered porch with seating, the plans show. The inside and outside would be connected by glass garage doors, and the

New library design gets early look Planning Commission to review conceptual plans SCOTT GIRARD Unified Newspaper Group
Oregon’s future library has a design – or at least an idea for one. The village’s Planning Commission will hold a conceptual discussion with renderings at its meeting at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 8, at Village Hall. No action will be taken, but the architects and library director Jennifer Way will have a chance to explain the initial design and get feedback from commissioners on what they would like to see when a submittal comes forward. The Village Board is expected to have its own conceptual discussion Aug. 19, according to the agenda. The design for the new library, which will be at 249 N. Main St., was developed by the Library Building Committee, which began meeting in April. The layout of the site in the commission packet includes more than 100
Library donation An anonymous community member has donated $500,000 to the new library project. Oregon Community Resource Network board chair Randy Glysch shared the news at Monday night’s Oregon Village Board meeting, and library director Jennifer Way called the gesture “amazing.” “We are really excited, it’s a great way to start our campaign and get our campaign moving forward,” she said. “We’re one more step closer to a new library.” Way said the process is a bit behind schedule, as she anticipated having design plans available earlier this summer, but she said the committee has been focused on “moving the right plans forward.” She said that the plan is to have designs available for the joint library and village board meeting scheduled for Aug. 19. parking spots, with the parking lot wrapping around from Main Street to Johnson Street, providing a second entrance and exit. Some community members expressed concerns this year about a lack of green space in the plans, specifically upset about the number of parking spaces that would cover existing grassy areas. A 2015 space needs study determined
a 35,000-square-foot library, about three times the existing building built in 1995, would accommodate the village’s growth to 2030.
The West Nile Virus has arrived in Dane County in the form of infected mosquitoes, though less than 1% of people infected with the virus will become seriously ill, according to a July 29 Public Health Madison and Dane County news release. County health officials, who monitor mosquito traps across the county during the summer, said this is the first positive test for West Nile Virus in county mosquitoes this year. PHMDC Environmental Health Supervisor John Hausbeck said in the release the discovery “means residents need to continue their efforts to prevent mosquito bites to protect themselves from getting the virus,” According to county health officials, 80% of people infected with West Nile Virus do not get sick, and those who do usually experience mild symptoms

which includes asphalt pulverization for repairs and the addition of a shoulder for the village and resurfacing for the town. Trustees said they want to also consider adding a bike trail. Funds for the road improvements would come from a dedicated Lincoln Road improvement account the village has been keeping from area developments, such as Bergamont, and public works director Jeff Rau said the village will put around $800,000 toward the project from the fund.

The village and town of Oregon have been working to establish an agreement on Lincoln Road maintenance and improvements for more than two years. Monday, the Village Board took a significant step forward, approving a resolution to enter an intergovernmental agreement regarding the “crazy quilt” boundary line. The Town Board would also need to approve it, and then the village would have to adopt an ordinance. If the resolution and ordinances are adopted as planned, road improvements could happen as early as next year. The town owns part of the road, and the village owns the other part. As the road continues to deteriorate and becomes more
damaged and dangerous, the two sides need to determine who would be responsible for portions of the upcoming repairs. Town residents shared concerns over the project, mostly about the potential property tax bill that could come to some town residents from the village if the boundary lines are redefined. While village attorney Matt Dregne and some trustees said the tax on a public right of way would likely be “small,” trustees agreed that they want to have those answers before the ordinance, a future step in the process, is approved. “The end goal is to make it easier and cleaner to know who owns what on Lincoln Road and that the village is spending money on an actual village road instead of a town road,” village administrator Mike Gracz explained during the meeting. The resolution establishes an agreement valid until Nov. 1, 2021, including a deadline that both the town and the village would have their portion of the road “cleaned up,”

Letters to the editor
OSD can do better with language accessibility Sitting in a class for University of Wisconsin-Madison’s education program, I had to look at different school districts and what they offered non-English speaking families. I chose Oregon School District, because that’s where I live and where my kids go to school. I was pretty disappointed. Students who had Verona as a district to study smiled and looked down at us as my group sank into their chairs. The Oregon School District website offers only English as an option, three sentences on their “English Language” program and the names of three teachers who apparently cover all six schools in the district. Nothing else, that was it. If you were a parent bringing your student into the district, you would have nowhere else to go. But you may go to Verona. Verona has, according to the 2010 census, roughly the same amount of Hispanic families. Their website and handbook are in Spanish and English, they offer Dual Language Immersion programming in two different languages, Mandarin and Spanish, and they address their goals and funds of education on their
webpage. Their Emergent Bilinguals have a community and a school district that supports them, and you can feel that on the website. Verona’s Dual Language Immersion allows English speaking students, starting in Kindergarten, to be taught in Spanish or Mandarin, becoming bilingual from the beginning of their educational career. Being bilingual is a huge asset for all students, developing and increasing the ability of their brains to think abstractly and creatively. With all of Oregon School District’s many accomplishments, why hasn’t this been a bigger priority? And where are the funds going that should be allotted to the program? Teaching our kids to be more globally effective, teaching them another language and ensuring that those Oregonian families that speak another language at home feel included and are equally educated should be a bigger priority. Please pull it together Oregon Schools. Don’t let Verona outshine us. Kimi Graff Village of Oregon

When I can, I savor the luxury of a clothesline
Y
esterday, I washed my comforter and bed sheets and hung them out on my ample clothesline. Today, my jeans, T-shirts, undies and dish towels now hang out in the back yard on this beautiful summer day. Yes, I still hang my laundry out whenever I can because it saves me energy costs and I can proudly say I use solar power. More importantly, the simple act of hanging laundry outside floods me with childhood memories of the rites of Maitzen summer: The smell of sunkissed sheets, racing to beat a storm. Everywhere I have lived, I have had a clothesline. The best are modeled after the old farmhouse lines with multiple lines and strong support poles. I have had a couple of umbrella clothes lines in a pinch because of trees, but I respect the farmhouse style for they were the favorite of my mom’s. She liked their economy of space and they could be close to the house. Today, there are many communities that do not allow clotheslines in back yards, a concept that historically stems from the diverse economic strata of society. People without a lot of money did their own laundry and dried clothing and towels outside because they could not afford washers or dryers; people that were well-to-do had servants do their laundry or sent it out. Later, neighborhoods mandated laundry rules because it designated the class of people living in that area. The neighborhood covenants, of course, never stopped my mom. Wherever she lived, she put a discreet clothesline up close to the house so she could hang out her laundry. Now, buying washers or dryers is common, and if they are unaffordable or break down, we go to the laundromat. Our machines are very efficient, and we are all so busy, we often have washers and dryers running far into the night. I now think it is a luxury that
I have the time to hang out my laundry. When my family moved to Wisconsin in 1996 to a very old house with a large back yard, it had the best laundry line that I ever had, and it inspired a poem which conveys so well my love of the clothesline. You will not see me hanging out clothing or sheets in January. But in the summer, my dryer gets a rest. Enjoy the poem.
Laundry It is my symphony of organizational perfection, Quite contrary to winter methodology. Summer becomes an athletic event; A study in time management and cost effectiveness, The apex of the week, a summer art form. The night before, the piles are delivered, coded, monolithic Six in all, blacks, whites, colors, small, large, sheets and towels Waiting, fermenting, right side out. The final act, consultation with the Weather Channel High pressure in place, the stars too confirm the forecast A gentle morning breeze, takes the sleep away Before coffee, before shower, it begins... the first load washes Survey of the backyard, the air fresh Line wet with undried dew, the sun not quite high enough... It is time to begin. The washer makes it claim to completion. Clunk The heavy clothes thrown into the basket My daughter follows me wrestling out to the yard Laughing because we still have our pajamas on The sun warming and we are happy Weathered pins wait to hold the first jeans, then the colors. The sky blue of crisp Northern sky. Blue that penetrates into the
pores of skin, Green grass on foot, sheets flapping in the wind Daughter running face first into the cloth of sun I did the same when the summer was forever.
Clouds are sculpted, their massiveness casting gentle shadows Passing quickly by, midday sun, high... Three loads complete, folded, put away the neighborhood gossip absorbed The light intense, the old magnolia shade. Socks matched on the line Dried towels paper stiff Beloved T-shirts, a garden of color and opinion Copa cabana shorts with frayed edges, maybe one more summer.... Underwear brazen and bold The afternoon slows, shadows lengthen Tomatoes and beans weeded. Watering, birdbath with robin refreshing, the final load Wrens scolding us all day long Children playing in the yards. Sunflowers facing the West Dinner time, turn out the basement lights We finish folding the last bits of clothing together The beds are made, teeth brushed Swallows chirp, bats fly and crickets sing Finally all is quiet, the darkness floats in My daughter’s face beautiful in twilight dreams Tired, cleansed, into bed the smell of freshness blankets us Each thread perfumed with the sky, grass, sun, the day. The composition complete, The final note played. The prize is won ... Everything is Good. Gwen Maitzen is a Town of Oregon resident.

the music, which Elmer Kapusta describes as modern, yet classical and syntagmatic. “Hands-down my favorite part of the play is the music,” said Elmer Kapusta. “There are scenes with dialogue but there is almost never a time where you don’t hear music.” Although Elmer Kapusta makes her directing debut with this production, she is no amateur to OSHP. She’s been with the company for 17 years, spending every summer since the age of eight working on the shows. An Oregon native, she’s experienced many roles within the theater, including onstage actress, production staff and musical director. She could not be more thrilled to be back working with her OSHP family on this “beautiful show,” she wrote in a news release. The mainly volunteer cast, crew, staff and orchestra is comprised of nearly 100 participants of all ages from Brooklyn, Fitchburg, Madison. McFarland, Mount Horeb, Oregon and Stoughton.

Cultivate Your Friendships “Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.” – Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 NIV The advice to cultivate your friendships is good advice on a variety of levels. Having good and reliable friends provides the social support that all of us need. And there is good evidence that loneliness is a serious health risk, increasing your risk of high blood pressure, depression and dementia. The advice to cultivate your friendships is also particularly relevant in today’s highly mobile society. People often relocate because of school or work, and while technology can keep us connected even when we’re halfway around the world, too often we spend our free time diverted from the quality time we should be spending with people who matter to us. There are many ways to cultivate our friendships, and they all start with spending time with our friends and communicating with them when we can’t be with them physically. As always, the golden rule applies to friendship as to every other relationship, and counsels us to do the things for our friends that we would like them to do for us, such as lending an ear, helping in times of need, and just being there to share the good times and the bad. – Christopher Simon

This rendering shows the front entryway of the new elementary school under construction in Fitchburg. The K-6 school, funded by a referendum last fall, is scheduled to open in September 2020.
School: Building includes feature for continuity with current schools said. These include ensuring “safe, appropriate, and inspiring learning environments for students, staff and community; equitable access to resources which provide opportunities to participate in meaningful, appropriate learning experiences; and innovative, flexible learning environments that support dynamic and evolving educational approaches.” A focus on a more natural balance is shown in the increased use of “green” energy conservation technology like solar panels, geothermal heating and cooling
Construction timeline March 2019: Site work starts April-June: Work begins on bid projects 2 and 3 October: Foundation expected to be complete November: Structure complete December: Enclosure complete July 31, 2020: Building “substantially complete” Aug. 28, 2020: District takes occupancy of building Sept. 1, 2020: First day of school and even the location of the building itself, sited to bring in as much natural light as possible. Schieve said providing natural light to all core spaces was an “extremely
high priority” for the building, with a goal to reduce reliance on artificial lighting. “We arranged our large group resource spaces
directly adjacent to classroom spaces hoping to maximize their use by students and staff, and also take advantage of natural light with exterior windows facing multiple directions,” he wrote the Observer in an email. Busler said the school will also have secure entrances and is “designed with safety and security as a priority.” Other buildings in the district got upgraded security features after the 2014 referendum. But while the new building will have a more modern look and feel compared to the current elementary schools
now serving their second and third generations of OSD students, the idea is to keep some continuity in those buildings. An important part of the design philosophy was “providing similar high quality experiences across all our elementary schools,” said OSD communications director Erika Mundinger. “I’d say there are more similarities than differences (in the design),” she wrote in an email to the Observer. Busler said the design team guided the process based on
This month, Oregon School District officials will send invitations to community members to help name the new K-6 elementary school being constructed in Fitchburg. The suggested criteria includes historical importance, topographic or land features in the area and alignment with the district mission, with OSD students getting the final vote.
Staffing solutions OSD superintendent Brian Busler said the district would like to name a principal for the new school by mid-September, with staff interviews for positions at the school to follow. The district would then post vacancies created at its other schools in February. All building principals will be involved in the interview process, as it will affect all district schools, he said.
Boundary recommendation due in fall The addition of a new elementary school has prompted OSD officials to re-examine their process for determining how students are assigned to

New OSD elementary school in brief schools. Currently, parents can request the school they want their children to attend. But as the district grows and becomes more spread out, that could become more difficult. In May, the district created an attendance boundary committee comprising administrators, staff, and families of current K-6 students, which is scheduled to deliver a recommendation to the school board in early fall. Busing routes will then be finalized for the 20202021 school year.

ADAM FEINER Sports editor
Oregon High School athletic director Mike Carr is entering his third year as an official in the NFL. Carr will be a down Carr judge, or head linesman, for the second year in a row, according to operations. nfl.com. He was a line judge his first year. The down judge, also known as head linesman, stands at one end of the line of scrimmage (usually the side opposite the press box). He or she looks for possible offsides, encroachment, illegal formation and other fouls before the ball is snapped. C a r r, a C o l u m bu s native, received degrees from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Edgewood College b e f o r e b eg i n n i n g h i s career as an official in the college ranks. He served as a head linesman in the Big Ten through 2015, and served as a center judge in his final season in the college ranks. His last collegiate game was the 2016 Tex a s B ow l b e t w e e n Texas A&M and Kansas State. Alex Kemp will be the referee of Carr’s crew in 2019-20, according to operations.nfl.com. Carr and side judge Dale Shaw served on J e r o m e B o g e r ’s c r ew last season and will be o n Ke m p ’s c r ew t h i s season. K e m p ’s c r e w a l s o includes Rich Hall (umpire), Jeff Bergman (line judge), John Jenkins (field judge), Steve Freeman (back judge), Mike Chase (replay official) and Marvin LeBlance (replay assistant). The NFL’s preseason started Thursday, Aug. 1, with the Hall of Fame game. T h e r eg u l a r s e a s o n kicks off Thursday, Sept. 5, when the Green Bay Packers visit the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field. Carr is entering his seventh year as Oregon’s athletic director.

WIAA full-contact rule cuts concussion rate by 57% MARK NESBITT Assistant sports editor
The rate of sport-related concussions during high school football practice in Wisconsin decreased by 57% after a rule change limited the amount and duration of full-contact activities during practice, according to a new study by researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s School of Medicine and Public Health. “I’m not surprised,” Oregon football coach Dan Kissling said. “Football is safer than it was 20 years ago.” Kissling said he would have his teams do a lot of live tackling when he first started coaching. The only live tackling Oregon does now is during a scrimmage which this year is on Friday, Aug. 16, at Sauk Prairie. “We do a lot of dummy (tackling) and barrel work,” he said. “The old timers would think that would hurt us down the road, but it really hasn’t.” The study, which was published online in The American Journal of Sports Medicine, examined whether new rules passed by the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association before the 2014 season reduced the rate of sport-related concussions compared to the

The two defenders were flagged on the play. previous two seasons. The rules prohibit full-contact activities during the first week of preseason practice and limit full contact to 75 minutes in week two and 60 minutes per week (excluding games) in week three and beyond. The rules were among the first in the nation designed and implemented to reduce the incidence of sport-related concussions during high school football practice. “Our analysis shows that targeted rule changes can have a beneficial effect on lowering the risk for
concussions,” said Tim McGuine, a scientist in the department of orthopedics and rehabilitation at UW SMPH. “It’s imperative that we identify strategies that keep our student athletes safe while still maintaining the integrity of the game, and this particular measure appears to do both.” A total of 2,081 high school football athletes enrolled and participated in the study in 201213 (before the rule change), and 945 players participated in 2014 (after the rule change). Players
self-reported previous concussion and demographic information and athletic trainers recorded athletic exposures, concussion incidence, and days lost for each concussion. An athletic exposure during practice was classified as being full contact (full speed with contact); drill contact (full speed until contact above the waist, and the player is not taken to the ground); or no contact (no full or drill contact). Researchers found there were 15 concussions per 1,000 athletic exposures during practice in 2014 compared to 86 per 1,000 athletic exposures during the previous two years. Opponents of the new rules argued that limiting contact during practice would lead to poor technique, ultimately increasing the risk of injury during competition. However, the data did not support that argument, with the rate of concussions in games during the 2014 season remaining the same as it was before the rule change. Other researchers on the study include Drs. Adam Pfaller and Alison Brooks, both with the UW Department of Orthopedics and Rehabilitation, Division of Sports Medicine; and Scott Hetzel, UW Department of Biostatistics and Informatics.

A relay to overcome The annual Relay for Life of Stoughton McFarland and Oregon took place at the Mandt Center Friday, July 19. There will be more than one million people diagnosed with cancer this year, said committee member Kristine Annen. “Our survivors and those no longer with us is the reason we need to keep coming together,” Annen said.

Supervised release is granted once a patient is determined by a court to be no longer likely to reoffend. Then, the patient is released to his or her original county of residence. In this case the county was given 90 days to submit a plan for the release in May 2017. Those plans were delayed for 790 days. Part of the supervised release program mandates an offender must be placed in the county he was originally from before serving prison time, as long as it fits within the “buffer” requirements that restrict an offender from being placed near schools, parks and churches, and is not near the people who were victims of his sex crimes. Court records do not show the previous address of the man, but the assaults occurred in Madison.
He then grabbed and dragged her outside of the building, grabbed her buttocks and slapped her several times, according to the complaint.

Finding a home
A March letter from Jessica Ecker, behavioral health program specialist at the county DHS, said that within the first 120 days after the court order, the county DHS office sent 475 letters to individual addresses that would meet the criteria for housing the patient. Of those, only 11 responded asking for more information and none remained after that. She wrote that 100 more homes were pursued, but none were viable options. Her letter explained that as of that date, 157,701 rental properties exist in Dane County. Of those, 3,187 met the buffer requirements Only 605 met further criteria after manual review. According to her letter and court records, the home in Rutland is the only remaining that met all of those requirements and had an interested landlord willing to work with a convicted sex offender and the state’s program.

served their time for crimes but have been committed because they were considered likely to reoffend. According to a state Department of Justice petition, the man, now 66, suffers from mental conditions that predispose him to engage in acts of sexual violence. He was convicted in 1985 for two separate incidents against two women occurring the same night, within 15 minutes of each other. The six charges were two counts of attempted second-degree sexual assault, two counts of false imprisonment and two of misdemeanor battery. The county DHS has struggled to find a home for the man, having explored hundreds of potential locations in the area before settling on the one at 3482 Hwy. 138. Neighbors who had been notified of the placement by law enforcement took their concerns to the Rutland Town Board and were told the town had no means of fighting the placement because of a state law enacted in 2016. The man had been sentenced to 37 1/2 years in the Wisconsin state prison system and was set to be released on July 2, 2013, but the DOJ filed a petition under the state’s sexual predator law on June 27 of that year, alleging he is a sexually violent person and should be committed for treatment, according to online court records. The court ordered DHS
to conduct an evaluation to determine whether he is a sexually violent person in August 2013, which could have been heard and decided on at a jury trial that year, but the man’s attorney withdrew the request for a jury trial and agreed to the “sexually violent person” commitment at Sand Ridge Secure Treatment Center, located in Mauston. Sand Ridge houses an average of 330 adult men who have been committed to treatment after completing a sentence for their sex crimes within the Department of Corrections.

here; president Steve Stanton worked very hard to have a culture here,” she said. “I’m 47, I expect to show my ID.”
Respectful discourse The business owners shared their perspective on the realities of training new employees with a high turnover rate while embracing the suggestions the board offered. Bridget Ace, of Ace’s Main Tap, said 85% of the bar’s business is alcohol sales, so enforcing safe serving laws is a high priority. She said she employs people who have bartending experience and should know better. In this case, she said, the employee who violated the compliance check told her she was in a rush and wasn’t paying attention. She said the employee has a mixology degree and prior bartending experience. “We stress the importance in
training to make sure they’re aware of the things that could result from a compliance check,” she said. “I can understand that it’s a fairly fast paced job, I can understand that it gets going so fast, but I also know that’s an incredibly important piece of the job.” The board suggested implementing quarterly check ins with employees to go over how to check IDs and revisit those policies. Richter said she already has something similar to that, as she goes over with all of her new employees the consequences of selling alcohol to people who are underage, how to tell if someone is already inebriated and how to avoid overserving. “I am so frustrated, because I pay for the license and the class, I train the employees, and in two months they leave, this is the situation,” she said. “Every day, I have to tell the waiters to don’t forget to check ID.” Contact Amber Levenhagen at amber.levenhagen@wcinet.com.
