A field of freshness
APF, other organizations visualize market garden for park Unified Newspaper Group
As early as next year, visitors of Anderson Farm County Park might see fresh produce popping up in a 12-acre garden at 805 Union Road. Roe Parker, Anderson Park Friends,
Inc. president, told the Observer the field will serve as a market garden, which will likely comprise patches of land for farmers, gardeners and growers to lease, grow crops and sell. The garden would be modeled after concepts like Silverwood County Park located in the Town of Albion and the
Farley Center for Peace, Justice and Sustainability in Verona, Parker said. While the garden concept consists of merely a paragraph in the 2013-established park Master Plan, the University of Wisconsin-Extension conducted

PAC director starts music series EMILIE HEIDEMANN Unified Newspaper Group
For Oregon High School Performing Arts Center director Nate Mendl, planning a Spotlight Headliners Series was a way for him to go back to his performing roots. A former professional touring musician of 15 years, Mendl transitioned into teaching a few years ago with his wife. He wanted to use his performing experience to provide a positive experience for students
and their families. So when he took the director position, he wanted to find a way to use “the beautiful space” that is the OHS PAC. And with the theater having undergone improvements to its sound system, lighting and backstage video monitoring, starting a series made sense. The $20 ticket prices are affordable, in comparison to similar series in the area, he said, and that’s for a reason: He hopes that will help build an audience. He worked to keep ticket
prices down by bringing in acts he got to know personally as a member of a capella group The Cat’s Pajamas and by getting donations from some Oregon individuals and businesses. The first act, on Oct. 12, R&B and jazz vocalist Jane L. Powell, will likely be spontaneous, Mendl said. Powell will feed off her audiences energy and wow them with her talent. Mendl said he first met Powell on Oprah Winfrey’s

Oregonians who need to go to Verona will need to find a new route earlier than they thought. The southern Hwy.

The road will be closed to through traffic between T h o u s a n d O a k s Tr a i l and Fish Hatchery Road,
though businesses will continue to be accessible. The closure is part of a two-phase Department of Transportation project that repaved Hwy. M from Hwy. MM just outside of Oregon to Thousand Oaks Drive in Verona, just before the intersection with Hwy. PB.

After reviewing five applications for the vacant Brooklyn Village Board seat, trustees selected former village employee Daniel L. Olson Monday, Sept. 23. The other four applicants were Agrace Hospice Care supply chain manager Sean M. Brennum; Great Midwest Bank loan officer assistant Nichol Marie Noyce; retiree Todd M. Galloway and University of Wisconsin-Madison housing facility maintenance specialist Gary G. Wackett. Olson will fill the seat left vacant when Scott Rosenow stepped down and moved to Oregon, Vi c k i O l s o n , d e p u t y clerk-treasurer told the Observer. Rosenow’s last meeting was Aug. 26. The deadline for candidates to file was Sept. 20 at 5 p.m. Daniel Olson stated in his application he’s lived in the community for around 47 years.
Now retired, he previously served on the Board of Review for two years, sat on the Brooklyn Planning and Zoning Commission and worked as both an employee and subcontractor in the village. He said he was formerly self-employed in the construction sector. Olson said with his knowledge of how local government works, he would like to “help residents voice their concerns and to also use my knowledge to help our community make the best decisions to operate and to continue to move forward.” Brennum said he was disappointed in the amount of time it has taken for the board to make decisions and that he applied to “be a part of change in my community.” He noted he serves on the Wisconsin Healthcare Purchasing Materials Management Association and as a member and president-elect of the Northern Lights Football League’s board. “I have experience serving on professional committees that I think will help me be a successful Village Board member,”

Oregon School District students performed better than students statewide on the Wisconsin Forward Exam last year. The percentage of students scoring proficient or advanced in each of math, English Language Arts and social studies was above state
averages. The numbers were down from 2017-18 in ELA and math, but up in social studies. On the ELA portion, taken by students in grades 3 through 8, 50.4% of OSD students scored proficient or advanced, down from 52.2% the year prior. The 2018-19 group beat the state average of 40.9%. In social studies, taken by students in grades 4, 8 and 10, 59.7%
of OSD students scored proficient or advanced in those categories, well above the state average of 49%. It was also an increase over the prior year, when 57.9% of OSD students scored proficient or advanced. While a smaller percentage of OSD students scored at those levels in math in the 2018-19 school year than 2017-18 — 54% to 56.4% — it was still above the statewide
percentage of 43.4%. Students in grades 3 through 8 take the math portion. The Forward Exam measures student progress toward achieving the Wisconsin state academic standards. The science portion of the exam was changed last year, so scores were not yet available on the state Department of Public Instruction’s data website.

Brennum wrote. Noyce wrote in her application she felt like she had a “realistic view” of what the village can and can’t do. “I would like to see us grow and develop so the ‘we can’ list meets the needs of the village,” Noyce wrote. “I have a strong background in numbers and breaking them down to people.” G a l l owa y s a i d h e ’s lived in Brooklyn for 25 years and has seen both good and bad changes. He said many residents felt the board doesn’t listen to them and isn’t responsive. “I want to help the people’s voice be part of the solutions to the problem,” Galloway wrote. “A trustee should help the people by listening and acting.” Wackett wrote in his application that he was “interested in this position to help residents … in keeping their taxes down and making Brooklyn their place to live.” Wackett served for 18 years as Constable for the Town of Oregon, on Oregon committees and as town representative to the Oregon Fire/EMS District. “My current and past job also brings me knowledge of (the) municipal budgeting and bidding process,” he wrote. “I bring a positive attitude and listen to all residents’ concerts and will work to make their concerns (heard) and work to resolve any issues that surface.”

It’s time for Oregon to get a public transit system T he handwriting is on the wall, whether or not Oregon is ready for it. Madison — the top employment center for our growing bedroom-suburban community — isn’t going to widen its streets so that more of us can drive there. Nor is that city about to add more free or heavily subsidized structured parking for us at a cost of $35,000 per stall. They shouldn’t, when we don’t contribute one red cent to the main source of funding for all that budget-busting Noeldner infrastructure. Stated bluntly, the world beyond the end of our driveways won’t continue to magically arrange itself so we can enjoy the unsustainable privilege of driving virtually everywhere. Forget capacity expansions. Our gas taxes, drivers’ licenses and vehicle registration fees fall far short of maintaining what we already have and Madison’s Isthmus and near-west side don’t have room for more of us to bring along 15 or 20 feet of private property whenever we go from A to B. Instead, we should be thinking about public transportation in Oregon. Madison’s new mayor (a former transportation system analyst at UW Madison) has made it a top priority to reduce auto dependence in that city even as Madison’s population of human residents is expected to increase by 100,000 by the year 2050. The only alternative would be to raze most of the Isthmus to make streets wide
enough and parking lots big enough for an additional half-million car trips there. Mayor Rhodes-Conway has shifted planning for Bus Rapid Transit service from West Towne to East Towne into high gear, with an ambitious goal of system startup in August 2025. Faster, more frequent travel across town will make public transit a lot more practical and attractive for commuters. Drive lanes and parking lanes will give way to dedicated bus lanes. Intersections and stoplights will be configured so buses can leapfrog the congestion that single-occupancy motorists create. Other Dane County cities are preparing for an auto-lite future. Sun Prairie, once a hotbed of transit opposition, now has a mayor and city council who see the light. Madison Metro just launched express commuter bus service to Sun Prairie a few weeks ago, and Route 23 from Sun Prairie’s Walmart Supercenter to the Capitol Square already has more than 100 rides per day. Madison Metro has served Fitchburg since the 1970s, and its newest route goes all the way south to Fitchburg City Hall, its library and the treasure trove of employers on Cheryl Parkway. In Middleton, bus routes reach nearly all of that city, from Bishop’s Bay on its northeast corner to the municipal airport on its northwest, as well as south into the jobrich commercial area along the West Beltline. In Verona, express commuter service to employment behemoth Epic in Verona averages between 500 and 600 rides per day. This substantially exceeds initial projections, thanks in part to Fitchburg residents who “reverse commute” to Madison on Route
75 buses heading back to the Capitol Square along County Hwy. PD and Fish Hatchery Road. Commuter bus service is realistic in Oregon. Measured in time, our community is closer to downtown Madison than much of Madison itself is, not to mention surrounding municipalities like Sun Prairie. The infrastructure for rapid bus service already exists — it’s called U.S. Hwy. 14. The tens of thousands of single-occupancy motorists on Hwy. 14 every workday make the potential for commuter bus service to central Madison obvious. As pleasant as summer here has been, we have no right to ignore the disastrous impacts of climate change. Some of our neighbors have already been hit hard, as was made clear in the recent Observer story about the rise in our water table caused by record-breaking precipitation. Emissions from our cars make our transportation sector the leading cause of greenhouse gas emissions in the US. We don’t have luxury of switching over to electric cars fast enough. We need to drive less, a lot less. Sharing vehicles – our children using buses to go to school and us riding transit on the way to work – are essential first steps. All that are lacking are vision, will, and a sense of urgency. Look down at your feet. Then look at how much bigger your car is. The size of our footprints on the world is up to us. Let’s start to live as though it matters. Contact your elected officials and demand action. Then demand action from yourself too. Hans Noeldner is a Village of Oregon resident.

Jane L.

Powell told the Observer she will do what she said she does best – gauge her audience and perform covers based on how she’s feeling. She said one of her favorite songs was “Yesterday,” by The Beatles, so that’s one that might show up in her lineup – but not even she will know until that night. Before the show, all OHS students will be invited to attend a meet and greet with Powell from 4:405:30 p.m. in the choir room. “This is an opportunity for any high school students interested in music to get to work with Jane up close, ask questions and learn from a master performer,” an event flyer states.

Powell has also put on a show for Queen Elizabeth II and has made cameos in films like The Bachelor (1999), starring Renee Zellweger and Chris O’Donnell. Powell said she is semi-retired, having returned to her native Roanoke, Virginia, where her father encouraged and performing there from time to time. She said she still finds joy running into old friends who ask here where she’s been and always has a story to tell them. Powell said that Roanoke is a town where “everyone knows everyone,” and she’s excited to come to Oregon. But at the same time, she’s not sure what to expect, just as her audience won’t be. Powell said she might plan out her first song and perhaps an encore, but the rest will come from her heart.

“ReVoiced are guys I could call at any time,” Mendl said. ReVoiced formed when one of the lead singers from The Cat’s Pajamas – of which Mendl was a part of from 2005 to 2013 – decided he wanted to form a different business plan. According to the event flyer, ReVoiced has performed on Broadway and on television shows like American Idol and The Sing-Off. They’ve also raised over $60,000 for music programs across the United States.

are gone? What if they’re not working?
A. Antibiotic drugs get a lot of attention and it’s not all positive. Words like “resistance” and “superbug” might follow, or maybe phrases like “didn’t work” and “waste of money.” It’s frustrating hearing these things while being faced with deciding whether antibiotic treatment is the appropriate choice for your pet. Rest assured, veterinarians don’t make this decision lightly, either. We prescribe antibiotics to target certain classes of bacteria, using the most effective mechanism of action to eliminate them, and the minimum amount of treatment required to reduce the infection to such levels that your pet’s immune system can handle the rest. The best thing you can do as a pet owner is to give your pet their antibiotics exactly as prescribed: the appropriate number of doses, frequency, and for the number of days specified—even if symptoms resolve before the full course of treatment has been given. If symptoms persist a bacterial culture and sensitivity test should be considered to identify which bacteria specifically is causing the infection, it might require a different drug or course of treatment. Even if you have them, never give leftover antibiotics from prior infections! Their efficacy may have weakened, they might target the wrong bacteria, and they could contribute to the development of resistant bacterial strains. With any questions and for all your pet’s antibacterial needs, never hesitate to visit your local veterinarian.

Be Proactive, Not Pro-anxious Being proactive entails creating or controlling a situation by causing something to happen rather than waiting for it to happen and then reacting to it. In this context,“proactive”is usuallycontrasted with “reactive,” and we areoften open to the criticism that we should be more proactive. Knowing that your car is having problems, the proactive response would be to make the repairs ahead of time rather thanwaiting for your car to break down on the side of the road. When thinking about the future, it is common for us to worry about events that may or may not happen, and thus we are often “pro-anxious,”when we might be proactive. Anxiety can serve a useful purpose in our lives; it has been aptly described as an alarm which warns us of danger. When we have legitimate anxieties, it is like the smoke alarm telling us that something is burning, but when we have anxiety over nothing, that is like the false alarm when nothing is on fire. When the anxieties are real, it is best to be proactive.When there is nothing we can do about the situation, the biblical advice to “not worry about tomorrow”is appropriate.When there is something we can and should do, we should follow the advice given in Proverbs, and be like the ant who stores up its food forthe winter. –Christopher Simon

‘Letting kids be kids’ Oregon Daycare, Inc. celebrates 30th anniversary
EMILIE HEIDEMANN

Oregon Daycare, Inc. operates on the same premise as it did three decades ago when it opened its doors – “letting kids be kids.” Linda Slater, executive director of the daycare, located on 172 N. Main St., led the Observer on a tour through the nonprofit space. What used to take up only the downstairs has since expanded into the former First Presbyterian Church’s upstairs, including the sanctuary that used to house a congregation; it’s now a learning space for 4K students. Everywhere you looked, children were laughing and playing. Some were putting their arms through their jacket sleeves on to go outside. More were in a group digging around to find items in a sandbox. Even more were designing colorful crafts – of the many that already adorn the walls along with photos of memories from past classes. Slater said the daycare is now at full capacity with 70 children. The 4K program is run by the Oregon School District, she added. Back when the nonprofit opened Oct. 5, 1989, it housed 25 children. Slater said that when she opened her doors three decades ago, there was “just a demand for a center that would be open all day” to take in that amount of youngsters. That was around the time she said she was finishing up a human services degree while her daughter was on the brink of toddlerhood. Slater reminisced about seeing an advertisement in the Observer asking if there

Slater said she knew she was going into daycare anyway, so making the move seemed like a good fit. That’s when she got up from her desk to point out a photo on her office wall depicting her first class. “After we got started, Winnie taught me more about childcare than any textbook,” Slater said. But after 10 years of Slater teaching, Baker and then-board of directors were planning on building a bigger center, now La Petite Academy of Oregon. “We thought this smaller center would blend in with that bigger center,” she said. “But the parents didn’t want to leave. “I’ve been running it on my own ever since,” Slater added. Then in 2009 came the prospect of First Presbyterian Church gaining its current 408 N. Bergamont Blvd. building. The church moved out of the location in 2011. “They built the church and so I had no place to go,” Slater said. “I love being in this area next to the schools, the pools … there wasn’t anything available.” That’s when her husband

And so as the daycare increased its capacity, so did the demand for quality childcare in the community. Slater said it’s hard to find a facility that’s easy for parents to trust, especially in the modern age – one that allows kids to “feel safe and loved.” “Children need to feel that unconditional love,” Slater said.
And so she would like to think she’s accomplished that feeling for the kids, with the various activities she does with them. Every spring, Slater said she makes May Day baskets with the kids, who fill it with treats and flowers made out of pipe cleaners. On May 1, they take them to local houses, ring the

Grender sparks Panthers ADAM KREBS For the Observer
Oregon coach Dan Kissling left Monroe pleased with his team’s 28-7 victory over the Cheesemakers on Friday, Sept. 27. “We’ve had a little bit of an injury bug with kids that are hurt, and our younger kids came out and played well,” Kissling said. “It was just a great win for us. (Monroe) is a good team and is going to do some damage yet this year.” Monroe squandered an opportunity to put points on the board in the first quarter by fumbling inside the Oregon red zone just as a downpour began. The brief deluge turned into a lightning delay that lasted more than an hour. “They were loose in the locker room, and sometimes that makes me nervous,” Kissling said. “We’ve had these (weather delays) before where our guys have been loose like that and the opposite happens in the game.” Oregon senior Logan Woodson intercepted Max Golembiewski after play resumed late in the first quarter. On the next play from scrimmage, Mason Grender took a handoff around the left side of the line and went untouched for a 65-yard score. “One guy not doing what he’s supposed to do leads to three other guys not being able to do what they are supposed to do, and then the result is a big play,” Monroe coach Toby Golembiewski Photo by Adam Krebs said. “It’s the same offense, Oregon’s Clay Hagerty (44) and Corey Moore bring down Monroe running back Trevor Rodebaugh (right) during the second but it’s playing disciplined quarter Friday, Sept. 27, in Monroe. The Panthers improved to 3-3 overall and 2-2 in the Badger South with a 28-7 victory. defense. If you don’t do
your assignment, there is a domino effect that affects everybody else – and we had that happen multiple times.” Grender finished the game with 150 yards rushing on seven carries and 206 yards of total offense. “(Grender) kind of took over. With his speed and the field conditions, I was a little surprised,” Kissling said. “It definitely helped. Monroe’s linebackers are good, and we were just trying to get that little bit of misdirection to get them off balance. We thought that was one thing we had to do. If we kept running our powers and our bellies, I thought they were going to stop that.” Grender’s second score came with 9:03 left in the second quarter on a 59-yard run. Four minutes later, quarterback Erik Victorson rolled right and found Grender open on a corner route for a 56-yard touchdown. Oregon (3-3, 2-2 Badger South) capped a 10-play, 67-yard drive in the fourth quarter with a touchdown pass from Victorson to Donovan Johnson. Victorson finished 5 of 7 passing for 94 yards. Monroe (3-3, 2-2) avoided the shutout with a 23-yard touchdown run by Trevor Rodebaugh with 6:21 remaining. Oregon outgained Monroe 329-261 and held possession at nearly 50% despite running 20 fewer plays than the Cheesemakers. The Panthers will host defending conference champion Monona Grove on Friday night. The Silver Eagles (2-4, 2-2) are coming off a 44-20 win over Madison Edgewood.

serving and serve receive was the difference in the match. “In the fourth set, we did nothing but miss serves and we still won,” Gierhart said. “It was just the consistency through all of our skills in all five sets. “Our big hitters felt the pressure of the fifth set and couldn’t put the ball away.” Oregon jumped out to a 5-1 lead to start the match, but couldn’t maintain its advantage. The Panthers bounced back to win the next two sets. The Vikings had a service error at the end of the second, and Oregon’s Emma Swenson slammed a kill to end the third. Stoughton overcame six service errors to win the fourth set. Malcook had a team-high 14 digs for Oregon, while Hyde added 12 digs in her first varsity match.

Park: UW study showed need for more fresh food, organic options Continued from page 1 a study five years ago indicating a need for more fresh food options in Dane County – especially access to organic food for low income residents. And Parker said the Anderson family’s original intent for a park included a focus on passive activities and agriculture, anyway. APF is partnering with Dane County Parks, the UW-Extension and Community Groundworks in Madison to create an action plan this year and implement a pilot garden project in 2020 with around five or six growers, Parker said. He said the goal would be to have 35 to 50 farmers. Parker speculated that a grower would lease a patch of land for a few years. “It will be a transition to get there,” Parker said. According to an APF August 2018 report, the primary recommendations for implementing a market garden include a threephase plan. Phase 1, which started last year and goes until 2020, includes the pilot project. Phase 2, from 2021 to 2023, includes demonstration plots for farmers, employment, agricultural careers and public education. Parker said the house located at 805 Union Road might eventually be turned into office space for a farm manager to aid the growers. Phase 3 would include a public education component, which spans beyond 2023. He said the house would also provide space for those opportunities. Parker also speculated partnering with area Future Farmers of America groups to help them learn more about agriculture. While APF and its partners are closer to their 2020 pilot garden goal, Community Groundworks
still needs to compile an action plan to be discussed at APF’s October meeting. Then, the plans would be contingent upon a Dane County Parks Commission vote before they could come to fruition, though Parker said he was hopeful. The project has already gained some unexpected momentum, with APF acquiring a $23,000 tractor. After thieves stole thousands of dollars of equipment from the APF garage in August 2018, a market garden seemed like a long way off. But it bought the tractor last January, after fundraising efforts, including an anonymous $7,000 donation. The Friends of the Dane County Parks Endowment awarded APF $1,175 over the summer for a reartine rototiller to assist organization volunteers with the Oregon Area Food Pantry garden and with other projects like the market garden. Parker said APF plans to purchase that rototiller in November. One question that remains is whether growers would be certified to use the equipment themselves, or whether it be operated by a farm manager. That portion of the plan is still being discussed, Parker said. But if all works out, Parker said park-goers would eventually see more accommodations, like electrical improvements, space for refrigeration and freezing of produce, hoop houses, more storage space and separate preparation areas for organic and non-organic foods. “It’s about partnership and collaboration to mutually benefit all the communities,” Parker said.

APF receives grant for more equipment SAMANTHA CHRISTIAN Observer correspondent
Map courtesy of Anderson Park Friends Inc.
A map depicts the 12-acre space that would eventually be the market farm. By 2020, the hope is to have 5-6 growers in a pilot project.
Anderson Park Friends, Inc. is a Friends of Dane County Parks Endowment grant recipient through the Foundation for Dane County Parks. Anderson Park Friends received a grant of $1,175 for the purchase of equipment to assist volunteers with the pantry garden, other volunteer activities related to public demonstration plots and restoration at Anderson Farm County Park in Oregon. Eleven nonprofits focused on conservation were awarded a total of $17,284, according to a county news release. The funds will be used to help provide educational programming, interpretation and enhance volunteerism in local parks. “We are ecstatic to be able to use the endowment built by our generous donors to provide grants to improve the Parks and help build the County Parks over 3,000-person volunteer base,” Foundation President Bill Lunney said in the news release. “Our foundation’s commitment to volunteerism education, interpretation, in the parks helps create a backbone of continuing support for our extraordinary park system.”
