Twice as Healthy OHS wins second straight national award SCOTT DE LARUELLE Unified Newspaper Group
Whether it’s looking after students’ emotional well-being or simply making sure there are healthy snacks in the vending machines, Oregon High School’s holistic approach to students’ mental and physical health has garnered another national honor. This month, the school won its second straight “A m e r i c a ’s H e a l t h i e s t Schools” award from the Alliance for a Healthier Generation, a national organization that “empowers kids to develop lifelong, healthy habits,” according to a news release from the organization. Schools earn the distinction by meeting criteria for serving healthier meals and snacks, getting students moving more and offering high-quality health and physical education. This year, 461 schools from 26 states were
honored, including 13 from Wisconsin, two from Dane County. Oregon High School was awarded a second consecutive Bronze Award, with the awards given out for two-year periods. This year’s award winners are recognized for the 201718 and 2018-19 school years. Last year, all five other OSD schools received the Bronze Award, and they’ll be eligible again for the award next year. Alliance for a Healthier Generation marketing and communications manager Megan Walcek told the Observer in an email OHS left an impression for its work involving parents and community members in decision-making, getting students moving through quality physical education, offering different fruits every day of the week and offering staff accessible, free or lowcost physical activity and fitness programs to help them stay healthy. OHS health and family consumer science teacher Juanita Weinert told the Observer that even

percent from last year. The votes followed a brief budget presentation by district business manager Andy Weiland, who said the mill rate is back to 2009, pre-Act 10 levels. “We’ve gone up and now back down,” he said. Most important for taxpayers is the $10.9 mill

rate – down from last year’s $11.56 – meaning the owner of a $200,000 home would pay $2,186 in school taxes. While that means a drop of about $130 on that home, increasing property values could negate much of the mill rate drop, though it will vary by municipality.
District growth is expected to dip slightly, from 6.1 percent last year to 5.8 this year. One of the factors still unclear is the amount of state funding from the 2017-19 biennial budget. Weiland said he used a $0 base per student increase in state funding to determine the budget, and an increase in per-student “categorical” aid (for 2018-19 only) from $450 to $654. Those numbers are expected to be in by next month, when the board must approve a final 201819 budget. Email Unified Newspaper Group reporter Scott De Laruelle at scott.delaruelle@wcinet.com.

Food pantry adds second distribution day BILL LIVICK
Remaining pantry days
Unified Newspaper Group
The Oregon Area Food Pantry has added a second monthly distribution day to its schedule. Beginning Tuesday, Oct. 9, the pantry will open the second Tuesday of the month for the rest of the year, and it will continue to open the last Thursday of the month. The pantry will distribute food 9–11 a.m. and 3–7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 9, and again Thursday, Oct. 25. The pantry has traditionally been open the last Thursday of the month for four hours in the afternoon. The board of directors added the morning hours in April. Board members said the increased distribution hours will help OAFP better meet its mission of providing “food and basic necessities to those in need who are residents of the Oregon School District.” “We are hoping for more distribution times in 2019, but that’s our goal for this year,” OAFP board secretary Lynea LaVoy wrote in an email to the Observer. Board chair Tom Kirchdoerfer wrote the additional hours combined “represent a 300 percent increase of our distribution hours in just six months. We have

6,000 pounds of food annually to some 120 families in the Oregon School District, according to the organization’s website. Kirchdoerfer said the food pantry board is always looking for more volunteers. “ To m e e t t h e a d d e d hours and the additional number of guests, we have

Big Brothers Big Sisters seeks mentors, recruiter visiting next month Big Brothers Big Sisters of Dane County is working to recruit adult mentors for kids in the Oregon area between the ages of 6 and 13. Recruitment specialist J.D. Engelhardt has arranged an open house here for people to learn more about Big Brothers Big Sisters programs and possibly sign up as a mentor, he told the Observer. He’ll be at the Firefly Coffeehouse and Artisan Cheese from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, Oct. 20, and he said his “main goal” is to try to recruit more “Bigs” – as the organization calls adult mentors – to work with and improve the lives of “Littles.” “We will have a table set up to talk about our programs and help people sign up,” Engelhardt said. “It’s an informal informational session, but if people have detailed questions, I’m more than happy to walk them through the process and have a long
Established in 1966, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Dane County is a youth-mentoring agency. It served 609 children in the county in 2017 and is on track to serve 705 children in 2018, according to its website. Its average mentoring relationship lasts more than three years, with outcomes that “empower children to stay in school, make positive choices, and reach their fullest potential in life.” Its community-based program is designed to help develop strong one-to-one relationships and make a direct and lasting impact on the lives of young children. conversation over coffee. “It’ll be as formal or informal as anyone wants,” he added. Engelhardt said the organization is looking for mentors in the Oregon-Stoughton area because there’s been an increase of families in both areas “looking for our services.” “We have around 25 to 30 kids looking for caring adult mentors,” he told the Observer. “We currently

are also difficult to identify. Researchers at the University of Florida in 2016 evaluated visual breed assessments of 120 dogs made by 16 shelter staff members, including four veterinarians, at four shelters. The lead researcher concluded “reliable inclusion or exclusion of dogs as “pit bulls” is not possible, even by experts. Ultimately, visual identification is largely guesswork. And since most shelters determine a dog’s breed through visual identification, breed labels at shelters are completely unreliable. For many dog lovers, though, that’s no problem. A client of mine recently adopted a dog online, starting her search for Australian shepherd. A rescue presented her with a dog that appeared more like a border collie and was labeled Aussie/ collie mix. She bought a DNA test, and the results came back 50 percent “sporting dog” with equal parts English setter/German shepherd/ white Swiss shepherd. No Australian shepherd at all. But her dog is beautiful, very sweet and easy to train, so my client is delighted. Rather than depending upon labeling, I suggest relying upon the behavior and personality of the dog. That is how I chose my dogs, and it’s why I have no need to prove their breeds. Daniel H.

After-hours voter registration at library First memory cafe Volunteers will register, If You Go inform voters set for Oct. 11 ALEXANDER CRAMER Unified Newspaper Group
The Oregon Public Library is teaming up with the League of Women Voters Dane County to host voter registration drives this fall, allowing residents an opportunity to register outside of Village Hall’s normal operating hours of 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Those hours can be a hindrance to people looking to register, adult services librarian Kara Ripley told the Observer, especially “if you have a normal job where you have to work during the day, and Village Hall isn’t open during the weekend. Volunteers will be setting up a table at the library to register voters on Wednesday, Sept. 26 and Oct. 10, from 6-8 p.m., and Saturday, Sept. 29 and Oct. 6, from 1-3 p.m. The league will direct people how to find out whether they are already registered and where their polling place is, Ripley said. To register, people will have to

bring a proof-of-residence document, like a utility bill, fishing license, car registration or pay stub. Any Wisconsin-issued identification, like a valid driver’s license, will also work. A comprehensive list can be found at elections.wi.gov Anyone who has ever had a Wisconsin driver’s license must have their driver’s license number and the expiration date of that license to be able to register, regardless of whether the license is still valid, director of administrative services Candie Jones told the Observer. Voters are not required to present a photo ID to register to vote, but state statute requires a valid photo ID to
receive a ballot — either on election day or an absentee ballot beforehand. This ID does not need to include the voter’s current address, but must include three things: the voter’s photograph; the voter’s name; and an expiration date after the last general election, Nov. 8, 2016. Wisconsin Department of Motor Vehicles’ offices will provide free photo identification for anyone who needs it. The fall election will be Tuesday, Nov. 6, and polling places will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Voters can register the day of the election. The deadline to register to vote by mail or online is Wednesday, Oct. 17. In-person absentee voting is available Monday through Friday at Village Hall Sept. 24 through Oct. 26 during normal hours, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Oct. 29 through Nov. 2 from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. This voter registration effort is part of the library’s mission to provide educational, cultural and civic activities for Oregon residents, Ripley said.

Obituary
Jeffrey Wyman J e ff r ey A l a n Wy m a n passed away Sept. 15 at his home in Oregon (age 73). Jeff was always at home in his garden celebrating the gifts of the earth and enjoying time with family and friends. He also loved travel and new experiences, living life to its fullest in everything he did. His kind heart, thoughtful and generous nature, and easy smile touched those around him. Jeff is survived and loved dearly by his wife, Patricia Ann Wyman (nee Dussling); children, Andrew (Wendy), Megan (Paul) and Benjamin (Heather); and grandchildren, James and Katherine. He will also be dearly missed by his siblings, nieces, nephews and extended family. Born at Stable Cottage in Ampney St. Peter on June 10, 1945, Jeff grew up in the Cotswolds of England with his parents Sydney and Freda and his seven siblings (Raymond, Cecelia, Pauline, Ivor, Janet, Mary, and Lesley). He shared many fond memories of his childhood and young adulthood.
After graduating from the University of Manchester, he traveled to the U.S. as a Fulbright Scholar to pursue graduate school at UW-Madison. While at UW, he participated and enjoyed playing rugby and met the love of his life, Patricia. They were married June 21, 1969 and started their grand adventure together. That adventure included moving back to England before returning to the States and taking a position at the University of California-Riverside. Jeff and Pat returned to Madison for his position in the Department of Entomology at the UW in 1979. Jeff took a sabbatical to England (Wellesbourne) in 1988 with Pat and family, which gave them a chance to reconnect with his beloved family and roots. Although he loved England dearly, after returning to the States, he truly felt that the United States was his home, so he proudly became a U.S. citizen in 2002. He enjoyed a fulfilling career as a Professor of Entomology at UW-Madison, specializing in Extension-based pest management research in vegetable crops. He chaired the department from 1984 to 1988. He was passionate about working closely with farmers, researchers, and industry colleagues to develop progressive and sustainable pest management systems that were both economically and environmentally sound. Jeff mentored numerous masters and PhD students

fan, attending many games across a variety of sports, particularly Badger and Packer games. After retirement, the development of the yard and garden took on a new dimension with expanded landscaping and the completion of the longdreamed of pond. And, he did all the work himself. Jeff had incredible mental and physical strength and endurance throughout his life. Jeff enjoyed lifelong friendships and close connections with a diverse community including fellow colleagues at the university, vegetable crop farmers and industry scientists, the rugby circle, fellow students and classmates, family friends, neighbors, and generally everyone he met. He will be missed. A memorial service will be held at the University of Wisconsin Arboretum (1207 Seminole Hwy., Madison) on Thursday, Oct. 4, from 4-7 p.m. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Jeffrey A.

Seeking Refuge “When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your nativeborn. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God.” – Leviticus 19:33-34 NIV According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, there were more than 22 million refugees in 2016, the highest number on record. 2017 may turn out to be even worse: according to the Internal Displacement Monitoring Center, some 12 million people fled from violence and almost 19 million were displaced by catastrophic weather events or natural disasters in 2017 but managed to stay in their own countries. How should decent people respond to these unfortunate people seeking refuge? As individuals, there are limits to what we can do, but shouldn’t a civilized society try to help them? As a large and wealthy country, we can and probably should do more to help the relatively small number of refugees at our borders, whereas the huge number of refugees coming from the Mid-East and from Africa present an overwhelming problem in Europe. Despite what politicians and demagogues may say about this issue, the Bible is clear on this issue. There are numerous passages that tell us to care for and show kindness to the refugee or foreigner: Leviticus 19:9-10 and 19:33-34, Deuteronomy 10:18-19, Exodus 23:9 and Malachi 3:5 are just a few of many verses that tell us to help the foreigner and the poor and not to oppress them, reminding us that we were all once foreigners ourselves. – Christopher Simon

Homecoming rout
Player of the Week From Sept. 19-26
Defense, ball control offense carry Panthers to win over rival Vikings JEREMY JONES Sports editor
Oregon senior running back Keion Szudy remembered the feeling of last year’s three-point loss at Stoughton all too well. On Friday night, Szudy rushed for 80 yards and a pair of firsth a l f t o u c h d ow n s i n a 3 5 - 1 0 shellacking of the previously undefeated Badger South rival Vikings. The Panthers raced out to a 21-0 lead in the first half on a pair of 10-yard touchdown runs by Szudy and a 5-yard touchdown run on a naked bootleg by quarterback Nolan Look. A natural rivalry was made bigger by being the host on homecoming weekend, Szudy said. “Last year, we went to their place and lost by three on homecoming, and it felt terrible,” he said. “We had the grit. We came back and just went hard tonight.” The Panthers need one more win to become playoff-eligible for the second consecutive season. Oregon travels to Breese Stevens Field at 7 p.m. Friday to face Madison Edgewood. Stoughton moved the ball in the first half, but two of its possessions ended in a fumble and an interception at the goal line. “We knew coming into the game, it was going to come down to who’s tougher,” Look said. “We knew even though they were driving, our defense was going to step up.” The Vikings cut the deficit to 21-10 after Cade Spilde hit a 34-yard field goal as time expired before halftime and scored on their first possession of the second half. The Vikings drove 79 yards on 10 plays before senior running back Dwight Walker found some daylight and ran 11 yards into the end zone. Walker rushed for a game-high 156 yards on 21 carries. But Oregon followed with a 21-yard touchdown run by Look on a designed run toward the sideline called a waggle keep. “We tried that run and kept getting first downs,” Look said. “Matt Rusch and Dylan DiMaggio picked up a pair of great blocks, and I cut right off of them.”

Offensive coordinator Scott Krueger celebrates a second-quarter touchdown run with quarterback Nolan Look. The Panther quarterback told the coaching staff Stoughton was overpursuing on the running back and scored one play later on a naked bootleg. Oregon beat the rival Vikings, 35-10.

Look ran for 62 yards and completed 4 of 9 passes for 65 yards. One of them was a 5-yard touchdown pass to Mason Grender in the fourth quarter. DiMaggio had 79 yards rushing on 16 attempts as Oregon gashed Stoughton for 270 yards on 46 carries to keep the Stoughton offense of the field. Vi k i n g s q u a r t e r b a c k A d a m Hobson rushed for 122 yards on
17 carries but completed just 9 of 26 passes for 68 yards an interception. Drew Anderson caught four balls for 38 yards. “From watching film on them, we knew they were aggressive defensively,” Oregon coach Dan Kissling said. “They remind me a lot of how Monona Grove plays. I think they thought we were a 3-2 team and they were undefeated. “ I t h i n k t h ey w e r e m a y b e

Oregon came out, punched us in the mouth and scored on that first drive,” Stoughton coach Dan Prahl said of his alma mater. “They’re good at what they do and when you get behind a team that likes to control the ball, it feeds right into their strategy.”

Payne lead Panthers to fourth Seniors finish third in final conference tournament MARK NESBITT Assistant sports editor
When the Oregon girls golf team has its full lineup, the Panthers proved they can be a team that can contend for some hardware. The return of senior Ally Payne to the Panthers’ lineup gave them a spark and Oregon finished fourth at the Badger South Conference tournament with a season-best score of 356 at the Legend of
Bergamont. “It’s one of those years where we trying to get a core group together,” coach Eric Instefjord said. “Today we had them. It’s a good little step into tournament play.” Senior Ally Payne shot an 81 to tie Stoughton sophomore Caylie Kotlowski for fourth. “I think it’s really good anytime you get someone back who can score in that range,” Instefjord said. “It’s good to have

It’s the second straight conference loss for the Panthers, who lost in four sets to first-place Watertown Sept. 13. “ We k n e w g o i n g i n that Milton was going to be tough. They are very senior-heavy with a lot of talent that returned from last year,” coach Katie Heitz said. “The outcome wasn’t what we wanted it to be, but we saw some good things.” Heitz was disappointed to see her team lose momentum after building a slim lead in the second set. “We were never able to regain our footing after

Senior Brook McCallum finished with a 95 to round out the top four for the Panthers. “Everyone played pretty well today,” Instefjord said. “We had a few big hole numbers every now and then. I’m proud of what they did. Overall, you have to have four pretty good scores.” The Panthers had several highlights in the tournament. The consistency in strong play is what stands out for Instefjord. “I think it was just the consistency we were able to play at,” he said. “Alyssa (Schmidt) was really good. Syd (Sydney McKee) shot an 86 and that is a good number for her. “McCallum maybe shot her best of the year with a 95 for 18 holes.” Oregon played in the WIAA Division 1 Middleton regional on Wednesd a y. R e s u l t s w e r e n o t available before the O b s e r ve r ’s p r e s s t i m e , and results will be in next week’s paper. After the conference tournament, Instefjord said she was looking forward to the strong play rolling into the regional. The top four teams from the regional advance to the sectional. “If we can shoot consistently in the 85 to 90 (range), we will be in the mix,” he said of his top four golfers. “We are in the range where we are pretty consistent as a group. “If anyone has a good number beyond that, we could compete for the upper echelon.”

Oregon breezes by Stoughton in Badger South clash MARK NESBITT Assistant sports editor
The Oregon boys soccer team had two more shut outs last week and reamined undefeated in the Badger South Conference.
Oregon 5, Stoughton 0 Senior forward Madison Conduah scored two goals to power the Pnathers to a 5-0 win over Stoughton in a clash for Badger South supremacy on Tuesday at Collins Field. “Coming into this game we knew they (Stoughton) were undefeated and hot,” Conduah said. “Coming into their stadium, and getting a 5-0 win is a great stuff.” I t m a r k s t h e s eve n t h shutout this season for senior goalkeeper Duncan Morgan and the Panthers (10-2, 4-0 Badger South), who have won nine straight games since a 2-1 loss to McFarland on Aug. 30. “I feel going into every game we are the more talented team,” Conduah said. “Obviously, just wanting it more than the other team is really carrying us past our opponents.” The win puts Oregon in the driver’s seat to win the conference title. “We kind of control our own destiny,” coach Chris Mitchell said. “It’s a good feeling.” Morgan has shut out six c o n s e c u t ive o p p o n e n t s and the Panthers have outscored their opponents 37-2 during the winning streak. “We set one of our goals at the beginning of the year to get 10 shutouts,” Mitchell said. “At the beginning of the year, it seemed like it would be a rough one to get there.” S e n i o r f o r wa r d Z a c h Bennett had a goal off a cross at 6:56. Conduah had his first goal on a pass from senior senior midfielder Colin McCOmbs at 8:42 to give the Panthers a 2-0 lead. “They came out oragnized with a plan and put a lot of guys inisde the box, which I expected they may,” Micthell said of the Vikings. “Those first 10 minutes of the game were

really important because we didn’t want them to start feeling even more and more organized. “I felt like a quick strike for us was really important and we got two of them.” McCombs then scored on a cross from senior Zac Schultz at 37:08 to extend the Panthers’ lead to 3-0. Junior Aaron Kluck scored on a rebound after j u n i o r m i d fi e l d e r C o l lin Bjerke’s shot went off Stoughton senior goalkeeper Nolan Meyer’s hands at 71:58. Conduah capped the scoring with a goal in the 74th minute. “I’ve been a little slow fading in and out recently,” Conduah said. “Scoring those two goals gives me the confidence going into the end and stretch of the season.” The Panthers outshot the Vikings 17-2. Meyer had 12 saves for the Vikings. “When you play against a good team like that you learn about possession and grit,” Stoughton coach Michael McIntosh said. “They have great coaching, players and a program behind them,. We are disappointed we lost, buit we are not devestated.”

Tennis: Panthers finish sixth overall in final Badger Conference standings Continued from page 7 Badger South-best 36 points. Oregon travels back to Nielsen Tennis Stadium on Monday, Oct. 1 for the WIAA Division 1 Waunakee subsectional. The subsectional features fifth-ranked Madison Memorial, sixth-ranked Middleton, 11th-ranked Madison West and 13th-ranked Verona. “It’s an incredibly difficult subsectional,” Geurkink said. “I’m sure it’s by far the most
difficult subsectional in the state. For our girls to advance out of the subsectional will take an absolutely superior performance.” In the conference meet, Choles and Johnson, who were seeded seventh entering the tournament, beat Monroe seniors Becky Thoman and Sam Huizenga and then pulled off a 6-4, 4-6, 6-1 upset of second-seeded Mikayla Beckman and Amber Fabian of DeForest in the second round.

Choles and Johnson faced third-seed and eventual champion Sydney Linskens and Abby Marr of Watertown first thing Saturday morning and fell 7-5, 7-5 to start Day 2. “I thought our girls played with great effort and great c o u r a g e ,” c o a c h Te r r y Geurkink said. “We just came up a little short in two sets. That’s part of tennis.” The Oregon seniors bounced back to finish out the tournament with a third-place finish, beating top-seeded Olivia Austria-Kemble and Kylie Chaimson 3-6, 6-3, 6-2. Senior Rachell Depuydt had just one conference loss coming into the tournament, but after battling an illness for eight days, she didn’t have enough to get into the second round. A fourth seed, Depuydt was upset 6-2, 7-6 (4) by Fort Atkinson’s Martina Walling. “Rachell was just out of sync,” Geurkink said. “She just about won the second set. As a No. 4 seed, we had high hopes, but I think the illness was just too much for her to overcome under the pressure of a conference tournament.” Oregon played Madison Edgewood at Nos. 1-2-3 singles. Senior Isabelle Krier beat Stoughton’s Kayla Rippe 6-0, 6-3 in the opening round but fell 6-2, 6-0 to eventual No. 1 singles champion Baluck Deang in the second round Friday.

Healthy: Student, parent involvement, mental health part of national award criteria Continued from page 1 the school’s academic and career planning service can help students’ emotional well-being, “I had one student say, ‘that has nothing to do with health,’ and I said, ‘Sure it does,’” she said. “That has a lot to do with how you’re going to feel, and if you love your job and career, you know how that plays into your health later in life.” Amy Miller, the district’s community education/gifted and talented coordinator, wrote in the school’s application that the school’s wellness policy is “no longer a policy that is reviewed every few years.” “Instead, our policy has come to life in all our buildings,” she said. OHS principal Jim Pliner wrote in an email to the Observer the award provides feedback that the school is “on the right track.” “Our students are engaged with programming Photo by Kimberly Wethal that is designed around From left, Juanita Weinert and Cade Sullivan present the students with their Alliance for a Healthier Generation award banner healthy choices, active during the homecoming pep rally on Friday, Sept. 21, at the high school. lifestyles and personal the Friends of the Oregon reason, we have places they do or don’t like. said. improvement,” he said. “Students give some great And these days, students School District, a parent-led set up in the school where Involvement feedback,” she said. have many more healthy volunteer group that helps we can make sure they get They are also making options in snack machines provide healthy snacks for something.

top priority – whether it’s eating healthy or getting enough exercise – school staff also keep a close eye on students’ mental and emotional health. For the past several years, OHS has worked with area mental health clinics, offering consultations at the school. “It’s nice, because parents don’t have to worry about transportation and leaving work,” she said. “And they have a spot where they meet with students, and nobody knows about it.” OSD superintendent Brian Busler said helping students understand the importance of making healthy choices is the “foundation for lifelong health and success.” “We know that healthy students are better learners,” he wrote in an email to the Observer. While the banner celebrating this year’s award has only just been raised at the school, Weinert said she, Miller and phy ed teacher Brian Hookstead will be meeting soon to talk about plans to “ramp it up even more” for the next round of awards. “We really want to get some students involved; that is one of our main topics,” she said. “What more we can do with the school?” Email Unified Newspaper Group reporter Scott De Laruelle at scott.delaruelle@wcinet.com.
