Oregon has a Night Out Oregon held a National Night Out event at Kiser Firemen’s Park on Aug. 7, with representatives from all sorts of emergency departments showing off their gear to kids of all ages. Along with blinking lights and police dogs, there was a rock wall, face painting, board-breaking with martial artists and free food and drink and for all. The annual event outgrew its spot on Spring Street and moved into its new digs this year. Oregon Police Department Sgt. Luke Kass told t h e O b s e r ve r t h e g o a l of the event is to build a sense of community and good working partnerships between citizens and the village’s police and fire departments through positive exchanges with the people behind the badges. “It’s an event to bring the community together for positive experiences with the emergency services,” Kass said.
K-9 sweeps head back to board Committee votes 2-1 to make random searches permanent SCOTT DE LARUELLE Unified Newspaper Group
After two years of temporarily allowing random police K-9 searches of high school and middle school lockers and parking lots, the issue will soon be in the school board’s hands again. The Oregon School B o a r d P o l i cy C o m m i t tee voted 2-1 last week to make the random sweeps, which use multiple K-9 teams from around the area, permanently allowed under Oregon School District policy. Board members Krista Flanagan and Tim LeBrun voted for making the sweeps permanent, with Dan Krause dissenting.

To Ireland, and back
OHS agriculture group lands safely after mid-flight mishap SCOTT DE LARUELLE Unified Newspaper Group
When they boarded a plane home after a week of sightseeing in Ireland, Oregon High School teacher Jillian Beatty and her students were looking forward to returning someday. They just weren’t expecting it to be later that same day. It was an eventful inaugural international trip for Beatty, 21 of her agriculture students and five adult chaperones, who traveled from Madison to Shannon, Ireland, and back. But not before they enjoyed – and endured – some experiences they will
never forget. For Beatty, the trip was a great chance for her students to see how agriculture is done in a country much different from the U.S. in terms of environmental regulations, farming practices and land type. The trip showed the students how agriculture has become a “global community,” Beatty said, and is something that offers many opportunities for students in the future. “I want my students to consider, ‘Is this an option for me?’” she said. “It’s definitely a growing area for students that are going to be graduating soon; it’s good to have that
international perspective … whether they’ll be working for daily producers or for another company or organization representing farmers and trying to advocate for American products or working for businesses internationally that sell products here in America.” It also turned out be an unforgettable bonding experience, as the group grew even closer after their plane had to return to Shannon with electrical and mechanical issues about halfway across the Atlantic Ocean. “It was nerve-wracking, I won’t

Last August, the board voted 5-1 to allow the random sweeps during the 2017-18 school year, but followed the policy committee’s recommendation to extend the program only for that school year. During four random searches in the past two years, the K-9 teams have found minimal amounts of drugs. According to police, “a small amount of THC” was found in an OHS locker during the first sweep in December 2016, drug paraphernalia was found in a car on the street adjacent to the OHS parking lot in the next sweep in April 2017, a “small amount” of THC and also drug paraphernalia was found in one vehicle, and no drugs were turned up during the most recent search this May, despite “several alerts” to lockers and vehicles in the OHS

The Plan Commission gave a positive recommendation for the general development plan for “Puppers Club” at Monday night’s meeting. The GDP is the second and most important of a three-step process that allows for exceptions in exchange for a more stringent review. If approved by the Town Board, the project would then need to return to the commission and board for a review of its specific implementation plan, which deals with details such as materials and colors that will be used and specific types of landscaping. The restaurant would take over the space most recently occupied by Cold Fusion, which folded more than a year ago. The three-acre site at 2515 U.S. Hwy 51, just south of McFarland, is best known as the former site of Beck’s Bar and Grill. Located between County Hwy. B and Mahoney Road, it would include a 3,000-square-foot restaurant with up to 94 seats indoors, outdoors and in the bar area. On a “perfect night,” applicant Mary Gilbert told the board, she would expect 70-100 guests inside and out. The plan also allows for an outdoor area with a small “tiki bar” to serve drinks near the dog area. Two fenced-in portions would feature playground equipment for pets, including
a large one where dogs could roam off their leashes. It would follow similar rules as other dog parks, Gilbert said, requiring owners to sign a waiver and proof of vaccinations and that their dog had been spayed or neutered. The bar/restaurant’s proposed hours are from 6 a.m. to 2 a.m., with the dog park to be open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Outside music would end at 11 p.m. Gilbert and her business partner Patty Hustad will have to improve the site’s septic system. The Wisconsin Department of Health has the power to limit a restaurant’s menu based on how much grease its septic system can handle, and former owners had restrictions. Cold Fusion was forced to serve everything in baskets to save on dishwashing, Gilbert said. The existing system is buried under the baseball diamond on the site, and the pair plan to add another system and link the two to allow for a larger menu. Gilbert said the pair had gone through a few name ideas since Hustad purchased the property in March, including “Wisconsin Pupper Club,” which has been shortened to “Puppers Club.” They had hoped to start construction in September and be open early next spring, but are waiting on approvals. Though business development doesn’t go with the town’s environmental ethos, Plan Commission chair James Molloy said after the meeting, “some properties are zoned business and we want to make the best use of (them).” Contact Alexander Cramer at alexander. cramer@wcinet.com.

Dane County
Six-month engagement initiative begins SCOTT GIRARD Unified Newspaper Group
The Dane County Board is hoping to engage community members who “otherwise might not participate in the public process.” Board Chair Sharon Corrigan announced the “Engage Dane” initiative in a July 23 news release, with a goal of “improving communication between elected officials and local residents.” The release specifically mentions people of color, lower-income residents, seniors and rural residents as people whom the Board wants to hear from.
“The idea is to reach out to those who otherwise don’t follow the workings of local government or get involved,” the release states. The six-month planning process for the initiative comprises four phases. The first involves discussions with the Latino Support Network of Dane County and the City-County Homeless Issues Committee. The team, which includes four county supervisors in addition to Corrigan and staff, will also visit the Beacon homeless day shelter and a senior center. In Phase 2, a draft plan will be developed “based
on community input,” followed by a review of the plan by the full board in Phase 3. The final phase includes a “pilot implementation” of the proposal. A survey on the topic asks respondents to grade the effectiveness of different outreach efforts to inform, involve, consult and collaborate with residents. For more information, visit board.countyofdane. com/Engage-Dane. Contact Scott Girard at ungreporter@wcinet.com and follow him on Twitter @sgirard9.

came to the meeting, and when asked for a show of hands, all preferred the taller option rather than one at the shorter end of the 60-100 foot range, with one person saying, “If we’re going to do it, we should do it right.” Amid the nearly unanimous support, one resident dissented, citing research he had done about health dangers of transmitting “microwaves” at the 5 gigahertz frequency. Commission chair James Molloy asked the resident to share his research with town staff. Hoyos Consulting founder Andrew Hoyos wrote in an email to the Observer the firm is “targeting to have things live by the end of the year” and plans to begin building it in October if approvals happen as quickly as they can. Commissioner Lorraine Gardner said she supported the project for the same reason she supported a large cell tower that came before the commission, even though it might be an eyesore: The service provided is a utility people need. “A cell tower does not really fit with what we think of in our township,” Gardner said. “It’s not something we want to look at. It’s a lot more ugly than what else you could be looking at in our town.” But as one resident pointed out, “For those of us who have waited all these years to have broadband, it’s nice.”

A proposed 100-foot tower on public land would bring broadband internet s e r v i c e t o u n d e r s e r ve d parts of the Town of Dunn with help from a Broadband Expansion grant. The Plan Commission on Monday night unanimously recommended the Town Board approve plans for a conditional use permit for Hoyos Consulting to build a broadband tower “up to 100 feet” tall on the parcel of town land behind Town Hall. T h e To w n B o a r d i s expected to vote on the plan Aug. 20. It would then go to Dane County’s Zoning and Land Regulation committee on Aug. 28. Will Bischoff, a network engineer with Hoyos, said the company hopes to gain about 30-40 customers from the project, but that the tower will reach and be able to serve “a lot more” than that. The town receives internet coverage from AT&T and Frontier, and in a few weeks, Charter will join the mix. But many homes are unserved or underserved, according to the grant application and statements from residents who attended the meeting. The application claims the tower will reach 1,836 homes and 58 businesses throughout the town. It also includes letters from
school districts, businesses and residents who support the tower project to help students with their homework, potential small businesses, and those who just want to stream their favorite shows. One woman who came to the meeting to support the proposed tower said she had just purchased a home on Sand Hill Road. “Had we done our research and known there was no Wi-Fi, we would not have bought a house in the Town of Dunn,” she said. Bischoff said the antennas that broadcast the wireless internet can reach as far as five miles in some cases, but it all depends on whether there are hills or trees that obstruct line-ofsight service. Town Hall will receive free Wi-Fi from the project, but the town passed on potential fees it could have charged the provider to increase its chances of receiving a Broadband Expansion Grant from the Wisconsin Public Service Commission. T h e t ow n a n d H oy o s Consulting received the grant this spring, and it will pay for 49 percent of the cost of the project, with Hoyos picking up the remainder. The total project cost is budgeted to be $63,564, according to the grant application. Originally, the application was for a 60-foot tower. But after receiving feedback that a taller tower might provide more coverage for more people, the commission decided to recommend approval for a tower up to 100-feet tall. More than 20 residents

Letters to the editor
Thankful for weed clearing On a recent, very hot Saturday, we observed a hard working couple clearing weeds from the round-a-bout on the eastside of Oregon. They had also done this on the other round-about a week or two earlier. Curious about who they are, we made a few inquiries. We found out that the volunteers that are taking care of these beautiful gardens on their own time, are none other than assistant Public Works director Gary Disch and his wife, Donna.
We would like to offer a huge thank you on behalf of all of us that use this gateway to enter and exit our village on the eastside of Oregon. You do an amazing job, clearing away an enormous amount of weeds, so that the plants and shrubs are now once again visible for all to enjoy. Our sincere thanks to both of you for volunteering your time. Jim and Judy Fischer Village of Oregon

Bad training methods can hurt a pet’s psyche It can be confusing for pet owners to know what sort of help they need and where to find it. The lack of regulation and transparency in the industry can lead pet guardians into pitfalls. One local example of this is from a family I know who had an 8-week-old puppy. Like all puppy owners, they were struggling with potty training. A week later they installed an electronic containment (shock) system in the back yard. And the installer led the puppy to the edge of the yard to shock it, purportedly to teach the boundAntolec ary. What the puppy learned, unfortunately, was the backyard was a scary and painful place. It refused to leave the house. So the unintended consequences of a professional not understanding the situation were failed housetraining and a fearful puppy. That’s a risk people face when seeking training help, as well. Among approximately 50,000 dog trainers in the United States there is no educational standard or regulation of methods and equipment. Anyone may declare themselves a “trainer” and do practically anything to a family pet, with virtual legal immunity in most jurisdictions. That is one reason it’s important for pet guardians to understand the difference between training and behavior modification. Training is about teaching dogs how to do things like sit and lie down on cue. There is no emotional component, and dogs choose behaviors in response to consequences which follow those choices. Trainers use operant conditioning for this. Behavior modification is about changing the way a dog feels about something, like fear of the vacuum cleaner. There is an emotional component, and change occurs on a subconscious level.
Trainers use respondent conditioning for this. Recently, I worked with a 100-pound Labrador who would perch himself at the picture window, barking at everything which passed by or approached the home. He launched himself against the glass until the person approached the door, such as for mail delivery. Then he ran to the entrance and launched himself against the storm door window. If a visitor entered the home, the highly aroused dog would jump on the person’s chest and clamp his mouth onto their arm, holding it while his eyes flared. Even if he settled down after a while, the Lab would jump and grab the person again whenever the visitor moved. In that case, I first addressed the underlying emotional component and then taught the dog alternative behaviors. Today, he quietly watches from the window, and if a visitor approaches the door, he runs to his bed in the kitchen and lies patiently until he is released. Then, he approaches the visitor and sits, paying attention to his owner. If I had thought of this as a training case, I would not have addressed the underlying stress and could not have modified the arousal. The unwanted behaviors would have continued unabated and somebody could have been injured. If the dog’s trainer would have used aversive methods that remain common in the industry, the dog would have been punished for the unwanted behaviors without regard to underlying causes. The goal of aversive punishment is to suppress behavior, and it might feel more intuitive or “normal” to some people, but research has shown that doing so creates more emotional instability in 75 percent of dogs and aggressive responses in the rest. Some of my behavioral clients have experienced this. To avoid this problem, be sure you choose a professional with accreditation or certification. This proves knowledge of learning theory, behavior, equipment and pet care based on a standardized
examination testing. Several reputable entities offer this certification, such as the Pet Professional Accreditation Board, Academy for Dog Trainers, Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers and International Association of Behavior Consultants. These organizations maintain biographies of certified professionals that usually indicate their areas of expertise and have websites with search tools. Don’t stop there. Interview the trainer. The trainer should have questions for you about your pet, but remember, you are the one conducting the job interview in consideration of hiring them. Ask about certifications and memberships, then research and verify that information is correct. Ask about the trainer’s methods – what happens if the dog gets it right or wrong. These questions will identify the professional’s philosophy, methods and equipment. Finally, ask what outcome you can expect. True professionals do not make promises or guarantees of results. It is unethical, and unrealistic to do so. However, it is ethical to talk about probabilities based upon experience with other dogs and to explain the pros and cons of each option. Options in any case include management, training and behavior modification. The professional should write a plan for your consideration, with options from each category. Working as a team, you would then determine which options you are willing and capable of implementing, with coaching and support from the professional. Finding the right help for the right problem is both a consumer rights issue and an animal welfare concern. Sadly, some of my clients were surprised when trainers they trusted failed to divulge their methods or the potential harm to their pet. Let the buyer beware, and be your dog’s best advocate.

Irish agriculture
Different practices Junior Nick Brown said the differences between agricultural practices in Ireland were evident right away. “They’re more environmentally friendly with regulations – you barely see any tractors,” Brown said. “They don’t grow many crops because its rocky there and it’s hard to grow much, so they free-range all their animals all year long except for a couple months of the year when it’s too cold for grass to grow, and they ship in all their grain.” Junior Izzy Finstad said she noticed a lack of the “huge machinery” she sees on

Finstad particularly enjoyed a demonstration of how sheep dogs operate – critical to the herding of the thousands of sheep covering the island. “We got to see how they train their dogs in different languages and different words for going right and going left, and herding the sheep,” she said. “Just two or three dogs led a whole herd of sheep.”

During the weeklong trip, students got to see a variety of examples of Irish agriculture, which has developed differently than in America, mainly due to the scarcity of good cropland. To compensate, the Irish place an emphasis on maintaining large animal herds, which can graze in the rocky, hilly soil where most food crops can’t grow. One of the highlights was a visit to dairy farmer Michael Murphy, who has hundreds of cows roaming around huge pastures. “He manages his pastures to rotate rows from one pasture to the next while maintaining the production,” Beatty told the Observer last week. “It was really neat for my students to have conversation with an international leader in dairy.” Ireland has many pastures – mainly for sheep – which give the entire country a pastoral feel. “Ireland is just beautiful,” she said. “I’ve never seen a place so green in my entire life, it really is the Emerald Isle.”
“dropped a little bit.” “It was very scary, because all we could see was clouds, and underneath that was the ocean, so we’re like, ‘Well, we’re either going down here or were going to make it back.,” she said. “We’re all pretty close now.” Email Unified Newspaper Group reporter Scott De Laruelle at scott. delaruelle@wcinet.com.

Don’t be a slave to money “In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’” – Acts 20:35 NIV The pastor Andy Stanley has defined generosity as the “premeditated, calculated, designated emancipation of personal financial assets.” Many of us think that we are being generous when we spontaneously give because our heartstrings are pulled or our conscience nags us. But Stanley’s point is that we should think about and therefore have a premeditated, calculated plan to give our money to people or organizations that will do the most good with those resources. Pastor Stanley also points out that this planned generosity has the virtue of freeing us from our money, or as he puts it, “Freeing your money frees you from your money.” There is indeed something liberating in knowing that we are going to give it all away. Mother Teresa often spoke in a similar way about the freedom of poverty. Having only the clothes on their back frees them to devote their lives to the spiritual and material needs of others. We can be preoccupied, tied down, and virtually enslaved, by our wealth and possessions. Whether you have much or little to give, reflect on how you can do the most good and have a plan to emancipate your assets. – Christopher Simon

Oregon opens season against DeForest
Oregon falls to Milton Assistant sports editor
The Oregon girls golf team dropped a dual meet to defending WIAA Division 1 state runner-up Milton 170-191 on Tuesday at Oak Ridge Golf Course. Alyssa Schmidt led the Panthers with a 7-over-par 43 in the nine-hole match. Sydney McKee carded a 48 and both Ally Payne and Brooke McCallum shot a 50. “Today’s round at Milton was a good microcosm of our season,” coach Eric Instefjord said. “We saw some very good play on individual holes, but could not maintain that consistency throughout the round and that led to some players seeing too many double and triple bogeys.” After three matches in the first week, Instefjord said having the capability of preventing a high score on a hole is something each player has to work on. “Consistent ball striking and better decision making will allow that to occur and individual growth and improvement will occur,” he said.
Stoughton scramble Oregon took second at the Stoughton scramble Monday, being edged by the host Vikings 61-62. The Panthers won the Scramble last year by one shot and this year the Vikings turned the tables. “This year the results were reversed,” he said. “Each of the girls provided solid contributions throughout the round. O r eg o n fi n i s h e d e i g h t h a t the season-opening Madison
Edgewood invite. The 20-team invite featured seven of the top eight teams from the WIAA Division 1 state meet last year. The Panthers finished eighth as a team with a 360, six strokes behind seventh-place Stoughton. Schmidt finished 16th after shooting an 83 and Sydney McKee tied for 17th after carding an 84. Payne tied for 26th finishing with an 87. Andrea Schleeper craded a 91 to tie for 34th. Hartland Arrowhead’s Emily Lauterbach was the medalist, after shooting a 4-under-par 68. She led the defending state champion Warhawks, to the team title with a 322, which was four strokes ahead of Kettle Moraine. Brookfield Central took third (331) and Madison Edgewood was fourth (339) and Middleton was fifth (344). “The Edgewood invite gave a good baseline for the possibilities that this team can achieve, as it was our first match of the season,” Instefjord said. “Each of our varsity players have shown the capability of producing low scores.” The Panthers will focus on making improvements in practice Wednesday and Friday. “Being more consistent in our management of the round is vital to playing a consistent nine or 18 hole match,” he said. “That’ll give us an opportunity to address those issues of consistency prior to our three conference dual matches next week. Our goal is to improve every day and carry that improvement into a match.”

Panthers hope to serve up some upsets JEREMY JONES Sports editor
The Oregon girls tennis team returns six of 10 starters from last season’s 4-9 team, including three-quarters of its singles lineup. But there will be competition at the top three singles spots. Coach Terry Geurkink told the Observer the strength for this season’s Panther team is its positive attitude and ambition to improve. He added that the team needs to work to compete at higher level. “My expectation for the season includes significant improvement for every player and maximum effort in every match,” Geurkink said. “Perhaps we will be more competitive in some Badger South duals.” Isabella Krier and juniors Anna Donovan and Jordana Burkeland open the 2018 season in competition for the top three singles spots. Fouryear starter Julia Gerhards had played at No. 1 singles the past two years but is now competing for a spot on the UW-Eau Claire women’s team. A four-year varsity player,

Krier went 16-11 last season the first Panther in the past day of the Badger Conference at No. 2 singles and became two years to reach the second tournament. Krier, the sixth
seed at conference, finished a team-best fourth at the Badger Conference tournament last season. Donovan and Burkeland were the only other players to win a match at conference last year. Donovan earned the sixth seed at the Badger Conference tournament at No. 3 singles but missed in the second round, falling to third-seeded Maelia Dziedzic of Monona Grove. Burkeland was also seeded sixth at conference last year with former teammate Addie O’Brien at No. 3. They beat Waunakee but fell to Beaver Dam in the second round. Rather than finding a new partner and moving up the doubles lineup, it looks as though Burkeland will jump over to singles. Senior Rachel Depuydt played at No. 4 singles last year. Where she plays this season could depend on how the rest of the lineup shakes out. Seniors Sophia Choles and Ashley Johnson are both twoyear doubles players, who

Oregon upset DeForest on the road 24-14 last but each team opens this season with question marks. Both teams made the playoffs last season, finishing with identical 6-4 records overall, and 5-2 marks in the Badger North and South, respectively. Oregon returns only one starting offensive lineman and will need to replace the explosive plays of wide receiver Kardelle Phillips and the thump of co-Defensive Player of the Year Sam Reynolds. Phillips had 24 receptions for 516 yards and six touchdowns to go along with 10 rushing touchdowns in the Panthers’ wing-T offense that averaged 24.5 points per game. Nolan Look, Corey Moore and Eric Victorson have had a good quarterback battle to start the season. Look saw some time under center last season, as well as at defensivel back.

Juniors Gianna Schultz and Sarah Boerigter could also be in play on the doubles side. Schultz could also see some time at No. 4 singles. Krier, Choles, Johnson, Donovan, Burkeland and Boerigter have all put in extra time training during the offseason and might show significant improvement, Guerkink said. Senior Caitlin Beyler, junior Joanie Sommers and sophomore Jordan Streiff are newcomers who will see varsity time. Geurkink said Beyler is an improving doubles player who will also compete for a spot.

The Oregon girls golf team is banking on experience paying off this season. The Panthers return every starter from a team that finished third in the Badger South Conference last year and took second in the conference tournament (361), 34 strokes behind Milton. “Our team has a group of five returning letterwinners that has had success over the last few years,” Oregon coach Eric Instefjord told the Observer. “That success should pay dividends as they become more consistent in their competitive play.” The Panthers lost Andi McCorke, who shot a 72 and just missed capturing the individual conference title on a playoff, to graduation. Oregon has plenty of experienced and up-and-coming golfers, Instefjord said. Seniors Sydney McKee and Ally Payne each have played varsity for three years. They also return senior Brooke McCallum and sophomores Alyssa Schmidt and Sam McKee. Payne shot a 90 in the

Peaceful Heart goes through ‘rebirthing’ BILL LIVICK
Peaceful Heart
Unified Newspaper Group
The owners of Peaceful Heart Gifts and Books in downtown Oregon celebrated 15 years in business last year and decided it was time to renovate two facades of their South Main Street building. Owners John and Doris Deits were the first business owners to take advantage of a facade-improvement grant program the Village Deits Board revised in June 2017. The Village Board this month approved an extension for one of the two $5,000 grants they received – for the west wall – because it has to wait for the village’s delayed parking lot project. Doris Deits told the Observer last week they had been waiting a long time to fix their historic building’s facades. She said along with the facade improvements, she and her husband are doing some interior renovating – painting and moving a stairway that leads from the ground floor to a lower level. “We had our 15-year anniversary last year and thought this would be a nice rebirthing process,” Deits said. “And since we decided to do the outside, we thought we might as well do the inside.” Their contractor will move the stairs from the front to the rear of their building next month, she said, and in the meantime, she her husband will spend weekends painting and making other improvements, such as installing new carpet. She expects most of the project to be completed by the end of year. Peaceful Heart’s south facade was in serious need of

The west wall, when completed, will look similar. repair, Deits said, adding she and her husband had heard that years ago there was a building next to theirs that burned down. After workers removed an outer layer of brick, Deits explained, the wall behind it “definitely looked burned and charred, and you could see where the beams from the other building were.” “The two were kind of built together,” she added. Once previous layers of the exterior were removed, the contractor “had to do a little bit of framing, to be able to install a siding,” Deits said. The south wall now has a cement-board siding that looks like wood. Eventually, that look will wrap around to encompass the west wall as well.

“It’ll be a bit more protective when we use that entrance than it had been,” Deits said. The couple estimated the facade improvements to cost $39,000. The village’s facade program is limited to properties in or immediately adjacent to the downtown tax-increment financing district – TID 3. It allows village funding of up to 25 percent of total project costs, not to exceed $5,000 per facade, and it requires property owners to document their matching contribution to the project. As part of the grant, the Deitses were required to have the work completed in one year, by July 2018. But while the couple is done with improvements to the south facade, the western facade faces the Jefferson Street parking lot. And the village decided to postpone completion of improvements to the lot until next year because of a lack of appropriate bids. The project, which will reconfigure and restripe the lot, includes burying electric power lines. “ T h e b a c k fa c a d e i s delayed until they get the e l e c t r i c bu r i e d ,” D e i t s explained.

Jefferson Crossing apartments have sold out Unified Newspaper Group
The new Jefferson Crossing apartment building in downtown Oregon is filling quickly. Every unit in the three-story building has been rented, and residents began moving there in July – even with some exterior and parking lot work left to be done, co-developer Brett Riemen told the Observer last week, after reporting similar

2019 construction season. Riemen said the change delayed finishing the outside of the building he and Brian Spanos mostly completed this summer, “but hopefully by the time we have the open house on Aug. 30, everything will be cleaned up and looking good.” The two began building the complex in May 2017. The apartment building is on 1.3 acres and replaced six parcels that comprised private homes and an auto repair shop. Riemen said parking in the area has turned out to be one of the biggest issues to work out with village officials and businesses. Jefferson Crossing has an

Area Chamber of Commerce, particularly executive director Judy Knutson, for “a great job helping us promote it.” Riemen said his building’s parking lot will be finished soon, but work in the Jefferson Street parking lot won’t be completed until next year. In June, Oregon public works director Jeff Rau told village officials the parking lot wouldn’t be completed this year because bids to install underground lighting and new electrical service to South Main Street businesses had to be rejected. Two were incomplete and a third was over the village’s budget, he said, adding he plans to rebid the work in November for the

news to the Village Board. “All 61 leases have been signed, and people are moving in between July and September,” Riemen told the Observer last week. “There’s a half-dozen coming in September.” That “exceeded our expectations by about six months,” Riemen said, attributing the success to the building’s downtown location and the lack of new apartments in the village over the past decade. “There was pent-up demand,” he observed. “And it’s just a great and a very visible location. It’s so easy for people to walk to downtown restaurants and businesses.” He also credited the Oregon

K-9: Minimal drugs found in recent sweeps Continued from page 1 parking lot. In a news release following the May K-9 sweep, Oregon Police Chief Brian Uhl said K-9 alerts that don’t result in drugs found don’t necessarily mean a “false hit.” “What is more likely is they alerted on lockers and vehicles that either contained drugs at some point in the last several weeks or there was residual odor from clothing or backpacks,” Uhl said. “The K-9s are very effective and can detect residual odor of drugs for several weeks after it has been removed.” Before allowing random K-9 searches for the 201617 school year, the district’s policy was one of “reasonable suspicion” before calling police to search
students’ lockers or vehicles. Flanagan, the committee chair, said committee members and other board members in attendance spent “considerable time” reviewing and discussing the process and procedures school staff and law enforcement follow during the searches. They also analyzed data from previous sniffs and rationale for using random canine sniffs at OHS and OMS. The committee heard from OHS principal Jim Pliner, OMS principal Shannon Anderson, director of student services Candace Weidensee and OSD legal counsel Jina Jonen, in addition to Lt. Jennifer Pagenkopf and officer Josh Kohlman of the Oregon Police Department. Flanagan said board members also reviewed the
recent Dane County Youth Assessment data, survey data from staff and students specific to K-9 sniffs, and what other school districts in the area are doing in relation to random sniffs. She said members also asked about the privacy rights of students. “Concerns were expressed about when using K-9 sniffs on the streets near the school as part of the random sniffs,” she wrote the Observer in an email. “Doing so is solely a Village of Oregon Police Department decision, as the streets are not within OSD’s authority.” Email Unified Newspaper Group reporter Scott De Laruelle at scott.delaruelle@wcinet.com.
