Spring elections
Challengers win 2 OSB seats; town chair tied
Seth Jovaag

Two challengers who cam-
paigned on improving relations
between teachers and the Oregon
School Board emerged victorious
in Tuesday’s election.
Rae Vogeler and Dan Krause
t opped t wo- t i me i ncumbent
Lynda Farrar in a three-way race
for two seats.
Unoffi ci al resul t s Tuesday
night showed Vogeler with 2,087
votes (34.7 percent) followed by
Krause with 1,979 votes (32.9
percent) and Farrar with 1,369
(22.8 percent).
Incumbent Pam Hughes, who
dropped out of the race last month
but was listed on the ballot,
received 578 votes (9.6 percent).
The only other contested races
on Tuesday were in the Town
of Oregon, where a dead heat
between two candidates for the
chair position had not been decid-
ed.
Incumbent Darryl Weber and
challenger Chris Johnson were
locked at 456 votes each, with
one absentee ballot expected to
arrive later this week, said deputy
clerk Jennifer Hanson.
On the town’s board of supervi-
sors, four contestants were vying
for two open seats.
Incumbent Wayne Ace l ed
vote-getters with 577. In second
was Fred Clark, Jr. with 416.
They were trailed by Sheila Spear
(341 votes) and Arlan Kay (319).
Also in the Town of Oregon,
constable Gary Wackett beat
third-time challenger Kurt Maher
by a count of 549 to 308.
Assessor Andy Bl omst rom
fended off a challenge from two-
time challenger Tom Wiedenbeck
by a 629-to-287 vote margin.

Six months ago, Oregon School District
officials were talking about issuing salary
increases to staff “as soon as possible.”
That still hasn’t happened. And with the
2012-13 school year ebbing away, district
and union officials are pointing fingers at
each other.
On one hand, the district says it offered the
highest raises allowable under state law back
in October.
But the Oregon
Education Asso-
ci at i on has not
accepted the offer.
J o n Fi s h wi l d ,
president of the
OEA, cont ends
t hat mor e t han
money is at stake.
For months, the
union has held out
hope that the dis-
trict will negotiate
wi t h t hem over
issues other than
wages, something
prohibited under sweeping state legislation –
known as Act 10 – that passed in 2011.
A ruling last September by Dane County
judge Juan Colas called parts of Act 10
unconstitutional and made it “permissible”
for negotiations to cover more than just wag-
es, Fishwild said.
That ruling is still working through the
courts. In the meantime, union leaders have
asked to use that window to negotiate dif-
ferences with the district over issues such as
prep time and training for teachers, as well

Oregon native Jim Lynch is the Oregon youth archery director who’s helped guide the program to through a steady increase in participation
since about 2007. As director since 2001, he checks scores at the seventh annual Oregon Youth Archery Tournament held in March with 74 kids
competing.
Hitting a Bull’s-eye
Oregon native is the force behind surging archery program

Unifed Newspaper Group
Jim Lynch will say this story isn’t
about him.
“It’s about teaching kids archery,” says
the Oregon youth archery director during
a phone conversation.
It’s not rare for leaders like Lynch to
put others first, but hitting the bull’s-eye,
– in archery and in making a community
program successful – is.
The man behind Oregon’s surging
youth archery program is an “old-school”
truck driver with a hard emphasis on
safety and manners. He doesn’t come
from a professional background in teach-
ing, but as a father of two and a certi-
fied archery instructor, he’s spent more
than 17 years donating time to expanding
youth archery in Oregon, taking over as
director in 2001.
Lynch, 58, runs the “learn to shoot”
program that’s held inside the Oregon
Sportsman’s Club on Sand Hill Road.
It’s a 9-week program held each Satur-
day that offers beginner, intermediate and
advanced instruction.
When Lynch started working with the
program, it had around 20 kids. Roughly
six years ago, participation began to grow
steadily, Lynch said. Youth archery vol-
unteer and instructor Todd Weis said par-
ticipation this year has “almost gotten out
of hand.”
But they’re not complaining.
Since last year, participation in the Sat-
urday program has more than doubled
from about 135 people to about 245.
Parents began to take an interest, too, so
Lynch opened up the classes to adults
this season, which runs from about Janu-
ary to March. He said it was still about 90
percent youth, mostly ages 8 to 18, and
Water well repairs in Brooklyn could top $100K
derek Spellman
Unifed Newspaper Group
Repairs to one of Brooklyn’s two
water wells could top $100,000 after
a “catastrophic” failure in early Feb-
ruary, village officials said.
The village’s drinking water was
never at risk, and, at least for now, it
appears the village won’t have to seek
any kind of rate increase to recoup the
cost of the repairs, Village President
Nadine Walsten told the Observer
last week.
The 600-foot well has been off line
for almost two months, after a loosen-
ing of the rock formation around the
well shaft caused the lower section
of the well’s suction pipe to drop to
the bottom of the well, according to
the description by Walsten, public
works director Mark Langer and vari-
ous meeting minutes. Sand wear also
damaged the bearings inside the well
pump which in turn led to damage in
the well impellers, which bring water
to the surface, and the well motor
gave out, Walsten said.
Langer characterized the well fail-
ure as “catastrophic,” given the extent
of the problems, and said the well is
still “probably two, three weeks out”
from coming back on line.
On the plus side, the well is only
one of two wells the village uses, and
it is not the primary one, officials
said. Langer also said an entirely new

well would cost between
$1 and $1.5 million.
The village had already
spent $70,000 on the well
repai rs and equi pment
r epl acement when i t s
board of trustees on March
11 authorized the use of
money from two funds for
additional work from the
Oconomowoc-based com-
pany Water Well Solu-
t i ons t hat coul d range
from $29,300 to $38,600,
according to village board
minutes. Walsten said the
village has to “basically…
rebuild the shaft.”
The repair work has also
included removing debris
from the well and replace-
ment of equipment like the
impellers and the pump
parts.
Water Well Solutions is
now is using air pressure
to break off loose parts of
the formation to make it
more solid, Langer said.
Walsten said crews have
been “essentially flushing
out the very, very bottom”
of the well and “sucking
all the loose sand out,” she
said.
Langer said he was not
a well expert and couldn’t
address questions about
why the rock formations
loosen over time, although
he did note that the well
was first drilled in 1957.
The lifespan of a well can
depend on “a lot of fac-
tors,” he said.
Mi ke Judki ns, presi -
dent of Water Well Solu-
tions, told the board at its
March 11 meeting that the
well had an inherited sand-
pumping problem, accord-
ing to the Village Board
minutes.
Walsten said the village
has tapped reserve funds to
help pay for the repairs.
According to the March
11 minutes, once the vil-
lage files its final report
with the state Public Ser-
vi ce Commi ssi on, t he
body that regulates pub-
lic utilities, the village
finance committee will
look at future budget needs
to determine whether the
village should seek a rate
increase replenish those
funds. The finance com-
mittee at its March 5 meet-
ing found there were suf-
ficient funds in the water
account to pay for the
repairs up to that point,
but it also found a need
to explore the long-term
health of the water fund
given the cost of these
most recent repairs and
upcoming well inspections.
Walsten said late last
week that, at least as of
now, she didn’t think the
village would have to seek
a rate increase, although
she also noted “We also
don’t have all the bills in,
either.”
“I’m not sure we’re
going to have to change
our rates,” she said later.
Walsten also said that
the village’s water quality
was never compromised
because of the well fail-
ure or because of any sand
infiltration.
“Our wel l wat er was
never at risk,” she said.

The Village of Brooklyn hopes
to start work on infrastructure for
a new business park over the sum-
mer, the village president said last
week.
The village got the final word
in late February that it had been
approved for a $261,000 Commu-
nity Development Block Grant it
needed to provide water and sewer
service and construct a street for
the park on the village’s east side.
“It’s a pretty small project,”
Nadine Walsten, president of the
village’s board of trustees, said
of the upcoming work, which will
only focus on 10 acres the village
acquired from George Bros. Farm
for the park.
That parcel is part of a 50-acre
area the village has planned for
the park, including 37.3 devel-
opable acres east of the village,
south of State Highway 92 and
east of South Kerch Street. The
village annexed that acreage from
the Town of Rutland, one of the
steps it had to complete to secure
the CDBG grant. Acquiring and
developing the remaining 40 acres
could be done later.
“We’re going to concentrate on
the 10 acres that we own (first),”
Walsten told the Observer.
Village officials have been
pursuing creation of the park to
enhance the village’s appeal to
new businesses. The hope is grow-
ing Brooklyn’s commercial sector
would not only provide local jobs
but also help ease some of the bur-
den of taxes and water and sewer
rates on its residential sector.
Village officials have also
voiced concerns about businesses
it has already either lost or missed
out on due to the absence of a
park.
Walsten told the Dane County
Community Development Block
Grant Commission, the body that
reviews applications for CDBG
money, in late February that the
village had lost several businesses
due to the absence of such a park –
including a gymnastics academy, a
wholesale aquarium supply com-
pany and a plumber, according to
minutes from that meeting. A vil-
lage engineer with the Madison
firm Strand Associates told the
commission that a recycling busi-
ness and organic grower have also
shown interest in setting up shop
in Brooklyn.
The village had faced some high
hurdles in to get the CDBG mon-
ey.
In early August 2012, a county
CDBG subcommittee had told vil-
lage officials that it needed to lock
down a half-dozen details within
the next six months for its grant
application to advance.
Chief among those steps was
the approval of the Capital Area
Regional Planning Commission,
a politically appointed regional
body that is charged with protect-
ing water quality by overseeing
sewer service expansions, with-
out which, most forms of urban
development are not possible.
The village also needed to create
a tax increment financing district
for the planned park and develop
an annexation agreement with the
Town of Rutland.
All those steps have been com-
pleted, Walsten said. The next step
is for the village engineer to draw
up plans for the project and for the
village to solicit bids for the work.
Cemetery fees
Walsten told the village board
about the village getting approved
for grant during its March 11 trust-
ees meeting.
At the same meeting the vil-
lage board approved cemetery fee
increases for Mount Hope Cem-
etery. Under the board’s action,
the fees to purchase a grave plot
rose from $300 to $500 for village
residents and from $450 to $750
for non-village residents, accord-
ing to the village website.
“We had to raise the plot prices
to incorporate the perpetual care”
of the graves at the cemetery,”
Walsten said.
Minutes from the village’s pub-
lic works committee also noted
that part of the rationale is that
contractors have increased their
fees to dig graves.
Walsten said she did not know
the last time the village raised fees
at the cemetery, although she did
know it has not changed them for
at least the last 10 years.
The village’s public works
department oversees the cemetery.
The price of lots is determined by
the board of trustees, and all lots
are provided with maintenance
and care, according to the village
website.

Warm weather could temporarily shut
down some Dane County parks
Dane County is advis-
ing that some county parks
might be closed over the
next few weeks due the
warmer weather.
The i ncrease i n t em-
peratures that began last
week will start to draw out
ground frost, making park-
lands and some facilities
vulnerable to damage due
to the soft ground.
Vehi cul ar t raffi c and
pedestrian use could dam-
age roadways, turf areas
and trail surfaces under
those conditions and may
require some parks to be
closed to the public tempo-
rarily, Dane County Parks
director Darren Marsh said
in a news release.
Marsh has requested that
park patrons stay on sur-
faced pathways and roads.
“If we can reduce the
damages at this time of year
it, reduces our maintenance
costs and allows us to pro-
vide better services through
the rest of the year,” he said
in the news release.
After a few spring rains
and dr yi ng wi nds t he
ground will firm up and
parks will be re-opened, the
release went on. If patrons
have questions regarding a
closed park or facility, they
should contact the Dane
County Parks Office at 224-
3730 or visit our website
atcountyofdane.com/lwrd/
parks.
Some parks also might
be temporarily closed for
controlled burning once the
snow melts. The burning
helps restore preserve and
restore grassland and wood-
land habitat.

T
he most important parts of
a library’s existence are
circulation, funding and
donations. Each has an effect on
the other, and without these three
pieces there would be no public
library in Oregon.
I’ve been encouraged to share
some little-known facts about
how the library system works,
and it seems
most people
are unfamiliar
with how our
circulation is
counted and
how it affects
our local library
and its budget.
While much
of our funding
comes directly
from village taxpayers, a large
portion is also appropriated from
Dane County based on our cir-
culation, or the number of items
checked out in a year. The more
people borrow materials from our
library, the higher our level of
funding.
Of course, a single library can-
not possibly own every piece of
reading material or information
members of the community might
want. That’s where the South
Central Library System has pro-
vided many wonderful benefits.
We can share collections through
a statewide delivery service that
allows people to borrow materi-
als from other libraries all over
the system for free. Library card-
holders can place a hold on the
first available copy of a piece of
material, and in most cases it will
be delivered to the Oregon library
for checking out in a matter of
days.
After it arrives, the patron is
notified that the material has been
delivered to the library. When
the patron comes in, the material
will be checked out as if it were
Oregon material and the Oregon
library gets a credit for the cir-
culation. This is an outstanding
benefit not only for library patron
but also the library. It’s a positive
transaction.
On the other hand, when an
Oregon cardholder doesn’t want
to place a hold but decides to
physically go to another library
in Dane County or in the sys-
tem and checks out materials at
that library with their Oregon
card, that library gets credit for
the circulation. It’s a positive
transaction for them, but a nega-
tive one for the Oregon library.
The Oregon library now has to
reimburse the lending library for
the use of their materials by an
Oregon cardholder.
This brings us back to how cir-
culation affects the budget.
The library has four main
sources of revenue. The first is
from Village taxes. The second
is from Dane County, for use
of Oregon library materials by
Dane County library patrons
who don’t live in the Village of
Oregon. The third is the same
payments from Rock and Green
Counties, also for their citizens
who use Oregon library materi-
als. According to the statistics
from the South Central Library
System, the circulation of Oregon
materials decreased by 2.66 per-
cent in 2012. That drop, from
302,281 items checked out in
2011 to 294,248 in 2012, means
the library circulated 8,033
fewer items and cut the Oregon
library’s Dane County reimburse-
ment by $7,000 for 2013.
A fourth source of income is
from donations and the Friends
of the Library, who support all of
the library programming efforts
through their bi-annual book
sales and membership drive.
Many people make donations in
the memory of a loved one, and
several generous people make a
charitable contribution at the end
of the year. Still others list the
library in their wills. The Brun-
ing Foundation and the Madison
Community Foundation have also
been making donations for many
years.
Area service groups, including
the Oregon Rotary and Oregon/
Brooklyn Lions Club, made
donations in 2012 to support the
library’s literacy and humanities
programs. Many local businesses
show their support for the com-
munity and the library during the
summer reading program by pro-
viding reading incentive prizes.
Still, the most important sup-
port you can show for the library
is simply by taking part in the
free programs or by using our
materials. It’s very much like
the great social movements and
marketing campaigns across the
country for citizens to shop local,
recycle, refurnish and support
local farmers and small busi-
nesses.
In order for communities like
Oregon to thrive and grow, citi-
zens need to support local busi-
nesses. If the businesses thrive,
the Village will thrive and there-
fore the people will thrive. More
people will be intrigued to visit
the community, and if they enjoy
the friendly atmosphere here,
perhaps they will decide to move
here or locate their business in

Letters to the editor
Not all Catholic priests are bad
Recently there has been a great
deal of criticism directed at Catholic
priests in the national press and even
locally.
I would like to take this opportuni-
ty to tell the readers about my cousin
David Strenski, a missionary priest
who worked with the poor in Lima,
Peru for 22 years.
He dedicated most of his adult
life to fighting for social justice and
human rights in the name of Jesus.
Unfortunately, he died of a rare
disease when he was only 56 years
old.
Dave was generous and caring and
from my perspective he was a great
guy. I think it is important to remem-
ber that his commitment to putting
others before himself is a trait shared
by many thousands of priests and sis-
ters in this country and all over the
world.

Sequester isn’t a spending problem
Faced with the prospect and con-
sequences of the “sequester” it is
important to understand that, contrary
to popular myths, our current deficit
isn’t the result of excessive spending.
In fact, the rate of government
spending is at its lowest level since
the 1950s.
Our deficit and current “fiscal cri-
sis” are the result of wars and past
excesses that weren’t paid for, and
declining revenue brought about by
tax cuts and a prolonged recession.
Republicans aren’t really opposed
to tax increases. They’re just opposed
to closing tax loopholes that are
available only to the very wealthy.
That means increasing taxes for
everybody else.
It seems they’re totally OK with
that.

First-world solutions are self-serving
It should surprise no one that the
cleverest and most educated among
us (the so-called creative caste)
should proclaim that the solutions to
the existential problems which con-
front mankind – climate disruption,
resource depletion, economic dislo-
cation of workers, even death itself
– should comprise the very things
which clever and highly educated
people enjoy doing most:
• Governing (of course!)
• Making new scientific discover-
ies
• Inventing breakthrough technolo-
gies
• Creating new industries and mar-
kets
• Teasing man’s vices to bring
forth ever-increasing desires for more
and better goods and services
• Designing laws and regulations
to elicit socially-constructive behav-
iors from corporations, consumers,
and other amoral persons
• And (re-) educating worker
drones who are constantly being dis-
placed by the remorseless march of
economic progress
We-the-clever and we-the-educat-
ed particularly enjoy these solutions
when we can earn a salary in the pro-
cess – or even better, acquire great
fame, wealth and power.
No, the astonishing thing is that
so many purportedly clever and edu-
cated people should actually believe
these “solutions” are objectively
legitimate – rather than blatantly self-
serving.

History museum improvements completed
Bill livick
Unifed Newspaper Group
The Oregon Area His-
torical Society recently ful-
filled a Dane County Capi-
tal Grant to improve and
update the history museum
when four custom-made
cabinets were delivered
from Madison College.
The $1, 500 mat chi ng
grant required the His-
torical Society to pay 60
percent of the grant total.
Much of the money went
toward the four cabinets,
which were made by stu-
dents in an MATC class
taught by Oregon’s Patrick
Molzahn. Molzahn’s son
Alexander made two near-
ly identical cabinets as an
Eagle Scout project three
years ago and donated them
to the Historical Society.
Pat ri ck Mol zahn sai d
four teams of three stu-
dents each built a cabinet
over a three-week period
in February and March. He
figured between 60 and 70
hours went into each cabi-
net. On the commercial
market, he said, one cabi-
net would cost from $1,200
to $1,500. He charged the
Historical Society about
$600 per cabinet.
“They’re a glass-faced
cabinet, solid oak and ply-
wood construction,” Mol-
zahn explained. “We sort
of took the design of Alex-
ander’s cabinets. They’re
solid oak frame and oak
panel construction, and
an upgrade from what the
museum had.”
The cabinets were built
in Molzahn’s lab, and stu-
dents used traditional tech-
nology and tools, he said.
“We do a group project
every year,” Molzahn said.
“The idea is to get these
students aware of time and
budget.
“It was a good challenge,
a nice product and just
the appropriate amount of
time,” he added.
“It ’s a wi n-wi n. The
students need that reality
check, and it gets a prod-
uct made at a reasonable
cost to the outside world.
We like to support the work
of the Historical Society.
They do a lot of good work
on a shoestring budget.”
Getting the grant
The grant was awarded
to the Historical Society in
the fall of 2011. Historical
Society Board of Directors
member Julia Meyers wrote
the grant application, which
reads, in part: “The goal of
the project is to focus on
fewer artifacts with more
contextual information and
a better understanding of
the broader context of the
exhibited items. This proj-
ect is a priority at this time
to change from a museum
with an accumulation of
various objects from vari-
ous times around Oregon
to a time-oriented, topic-
focused, educational exhib-
it highlighting important
events and historical points
in Oregon’s early history.”
The exhi bi t i ncl udes
the geological history of
Oregon, prehistoric and
historic Native American
artifacts with an interac-
tive sandbox for children to
learn and discover archaeo-
logical artifacts, and maps
and information of the lead
trail that brought early set-
tlers to the Oregon area.
The museum also has on
display an exhibit of the
early settlers of Oregon, a
6-foot by 3-foot model of
the early 19th century Ore-
gon train station and depot,
furniture from a one-room
schoolhouse and the origi-
nal furniture of the first
Oregon Public Library.
I n t he cent er of t he
exhibit area, six cabinets
now show artifacts and
information from Oregon
businesses, past and pres-
ent, and an exhibit of the
hi st or y of Boy Scout s
in Oregon, which a high
school student created as
part of his Eagle Scout
requirements.
Meyers said money from
the grant was also used for
a new coat of paint inside
the museum and creating
lettering for the individual
exhibit areas.
T h e Or e g o n Ar e a
Historical Society Muse-
um is located at 159 W.
Lincoln St. in the Village
of Oregon. The museum
is open 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.
every Tuesday and t he
same hours the first Satur-
day of the month, Septem-
ber through May. It is also
open every Saturday in the
summer, June – August,
and by appointment.
To make an appointment
or for more information,
call 835-8961.

Money from a grant went toward the four cabinets (pictured above) for the Oregon Area Historical Society, which were made by stu-
dents in a Madison College class taught by Oregon’s Patrick Molzahn. Students who worked on the project are Dillion Bielfeldt, Jon
Compean, Major Glennon, Jordan Henkel, Jared Johnson, Spencer Kelsey, Orin Kurth, Micah Muraski, Antonio Rivas, John VanNatta,
Marcus Voights and Claire Wunnicke.

We all seek love
The Persian poet and mystic Rumi was intoxicated by love and
his poems are so filled with outpourings of love for his fellow man,
for creation, and for God that one is almost embarrassed upon
reading them. When reading his poetry, one feels almost as if one
is reading the intimate diaries of someone who is gushing over his
beloved: “When I am with you, we stay up all night. When you’re
not here, I can’t go to sleep. Praise God for those two insomnia’s!
And the difference between them.” Rumi taps into the almost
infinite longing within all of us to be united to our beloved, and
ultimately, to be united to the source of our very existence. The
mystical epiphany for Rumi was that what we have been seeking
has actually been seeking us, and we need not go to the ends of
the earth to find it because it’s actually within us: “What you seek is
seeking you.” Rumi tells us “The minute I heard my first love story,
I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers
don’t finally meet somewhere. They’re in each other all along.” We
all long to reunite with the primal source of our being. The ancient
Greeks explained this by saying that before birth we were joined
to a complementary being which was essentially our other half.
Nowadays people talk of having a God-shaped hole within us. Rumi
said “My soul is from elsewhere, I’m sure of that, and I intend to
end up there.” He also said “There is a candle in your heart, ready
to be kindled. There is a void in your soul, ready to be filled. You
feel it, don’t you?”

SENIOR CARE
Q. Does the elder in your life often have unexplainable bruises?
A. As alarming as these purplish marks can be, they’re usually harmless. As we age,
bruising becomes more common with the mildest bump or blow. Our capillaries age
and become more fragile and prone to rupture. Our skin also becomes thinner, losing
the protective fatty layer that helps to cushion blood vessels against injury. Frequent
bruising usually starts to show after age 55, but long-time sun worshippers may see
changes earlier. The problem may be compounded if you smoke. Certain dietary
supplements such as fish oil and ginkgo, as well as some medications used to treat
allergies, asthma and eczema can also cause easier bruising. To reduce bumps and falls,
de-clutter the house. Dress your elder in long-sleeved shirts and pants to add an extra
layer of protection. Limit sun exposure and use sunscreen outdoors. There isn’t much that can be done to treat
a bruise once it has formed. Most bruises disappear within a week. Remember, though, that easy bruising can
be an indication of a more serious condition such as a blood disease or a clotting problem. You should consult
a doctor if you notice unusually large or painful bruises that develop for no reason.

VETERINARIAN
Q. When is the best time to test my dogs and cats for heartworm disease?
A. Since heartworm disease is transmitted by mosquitoes, the general “heartworm season”
in Wisconsin is April through November. Most owners give heartworm preventative May
through December because the preventative works for the month previous to the given dose. We
recommend testing your pet each spring before starting heartworm preventative. It is especially
important to test before giving the first dose of preventative because the preventative can make your
pet sick if they already have heartworm disease. The producers of the preventative medicine will
pay for any costs of treating heartworm disease if the animal is tested annually and the medicine is
given 12 months per year. Treating year round has the added benefit of treating intestinal parasites
the pet may acquire in the winter months. If you have any questions about heartworm testing please
contact your veterinarian.

well as a proposed overhaul
of the traditional salary
schedule that automatically
rewards teachers for years
of experience and attaining
educational credits.
I f t he uni on s i mpl y
accept ed t he pr oposed
sal ary i ncreases, t hose
other issues wouldn’t be
addressed, Fishwild said.
“Absol ut el y we want
to get raises to teachers,”
Fi shwi l d sai d. “But we
basically close the door (on
other issues) when we settle
that one piece of it.”
That’s not how school
board member Steve Zach
sees it.
He doesn’t foresee the
district returning to the
traditional mode of nego-
tiations, where union and
district leaders used to bar-
gain over non-wage issues.
Instead, the district has cre-
ated a system that allows
any teacher or union rep to
raise concerns at committee
meetings. And many work-
place issues are covered
by new “employee hand-
books,” required under Act
10, that relied heavily on
teacher feedback, he said.
Zach contends that the
board has gone out of its
way to offer staff the best
raises possible, even creat-
ing a budget deficit to do
so. And with the school
year al most over , any
changes on non-wage issues
for 2012-13 are becoming
moot.
“We’re far from being
anti-teacher,” Zach said.
“In fact, we’re bending
over backwards to help
them through this.”
Letter riles union
The latest bickering adds
to chilly relations between
union and district leaders
t h a t h a v e
p e r s i s t e d
for several
years.
U n i o n
represent a-
t i ves have
c r i t i c i z e d
the district’s
t wo - y e a r -
old grading
policy, protested a change
last year that made it easier
to discipline or terminate
teachers and publicly stated
that morale among many
t eachers i s
low.
Tha t s e t
t h e b a c k -
drop for last
O c t o b e r ,
whe n di s -
tricts admin-
istrators and
t h e O E A
swapped proposals for a
one-year contract.
The district offered to
boost salaries by 2.8 per-
cent and bump annual pay
by $4, 000 for empl oy-
ees that attain a master’s
degree. It also offered to
increase starting pay for
teachers from $33,700 to
$36,000. The previous con-
tract expired July 1.
But union leaders bris-
tled at a proposal to scrap
the salary schedule, which
they said provides teach-
ers a clear path for how
to advance their careers
and earnings. The district
is currently investigating
alternative compensation
models.
More recently, the school
board’s “Human Assets
Committee” sent a letter
to staff March 4, saying
that the salary offer still
stands but has been delayed
because the OEA canceled
two scheduled negotiation
sessions.
Fishwild called that let-
ter “unethical,” saying it’s
“sole purpose was to create
dissension among our mem-
bers.” He also said the two
sessions were postponed
because legal battles over
Act 10 had not been settled.
He questioned why the
district refuses to bargain
with unions over non-wage
issues.
“We don’t understand
how that’s good for this dis-
trict,” he said.
But Zach, who chairs the
committee, said the March
4 letter filled a “moral obli-
gation” to keep staff updat-
ed on their pending raises.
“There’s absolutely noth-
ing wrong with the district
advising its employees what
its financial proposal was
for the past six months,” he
said.
More at stake
When t he boar d l ast
mo n t h i n d e f i n i t e l y
postponed a potential major
referendum, Zach pinned
part of the blame on the
union’s lack of support.
Fishwild felt that was
unfair. Surely, he said,
other board members had
a variety of reasons for not
pursuing a referendum one
year after a $33 million pro-
posal was voted down by
district residents. But only
Zach spoke up.
Moreover, union leaders
have contended that while
the board spent a lot of time
laying the groundwork for a
referendum, they’ve shown
“much less zeal” in deal-
ing with staff concerns over
curriculum and assessment
and the retention of expe-
rienced teachers, Fishwild
said in a statement to the
board earlier this winter.
Zach disagreed, noting
that while investigating a
possible referendum, board
members met extensive-
ly with staff to hear how
potential building upgrades
could help them do their
jobs. The board has also
set aside time for tours and
listening sessions at each
school this year.
“Any suggest i on t hat
we’re not spending suf-
ficient time on curriculum
and educational matters is
ridiculous,” he said.
More broadly speaking,
Fishwild and others con-
tend that the board in recent
years has curtailed collabo-
ration with staff or, in the
case of changes to district
grading policies, made a
show of hearing teacher
input only to reach prede-
termined decisions. In fact,
two challengers for Tues-
day’s school board elec-
tion – Dan Krause and Rae
Vogeler – made improved
communication a central
point of their campaigns.
Gat heri ng st aff i nput
in committee meetings –
instead of the bargaining
table – still leaves deci-
sion-making in the board’s
hands, Fishwild contends.
But the March 4 letter
suggests the door is open
for the OEA to have input
on major decisions, includ-
ing future changes caused
by the Affordable Care Act
and the district’s compensa-
tion models.
Front and center, how-
ever, are the proposed sal-
ary hikes for 2012-13. The
board hoped to give the
raises before the end of
2012 so employees could
avoid paying higher taxes
that kicked in this year,
according to the March
4 letter. And Zach says
there’s “no reason” that
deal shouldn’t be settled,
especi al l y wi t h anot her
one-year contract looming
for 2013-14.
But Fishwild says that,
for now, uni on l eaders
aren’t looking to budge.
“Our plan has been, let’s
just hold fast until they are
ready to talk about some
of these things,” he said.
“Honestly, I don’t know
what the next step is. … I
just can’t accept that this is
the way it’s going to be.”

10 percent adults.
As participation increases,
so has Lynch’s involve-
ment. His longtime girlfriend
Pam VanderSanden recalled
Lynch spending a couple of
hours each Saturday doing
instruction when it began,
but now the classes go from
around 8 a.m. to about 4 p.m.
In the past seven years, the
program has blossomed to
include youth leagues and an
annual youth archery tourna-
ment.
Lynch said he gets partici-
pants from all over the region
in both the Saturday classes
and youth tournaments. Eric
Tidstrom, of Poynette, has
watched his 15-year-old son
shoot in the youth archery
tournament in Oregon for
five years, including this
year’s March 16 tournament
which had 74 kids compet-
ing from places such as Cuba
City, Janesville and Monroe.
Lynch, an Oregon native,
has been a bow hunter since
he was a teenager but got cer-
tified to teach archery around
2001 along with VanderSan-
den, who’s also an instructor.
Vol unt eers l i ke Wei s
and VanderSanden have
helped him with the tech-
nical aspects of running
the archery program, as he
admits he isn’t much of a
computer guy. But he is big
on manners, safety and mak-
ing sure each kid gets a fair
chance to shoot.
That’s something Lynch
said isn’t always the case
for kids in some mainstream
youth sports.
“They go to play, and
they sit and they don’t get
a chance to play,” he said.
“The one thing about archery
is as long as you’re safe,
you’re going to get to partici-
pate.”
In a sport where – at its
most basic level – there are
lots of sharp objects flying
around children, Lynch’s
number one concern is safe-
ty. He’s proud to say he’s
never seen an injury in his
years of teaching and attri-
butes that to his sometimes
strict teaching style.
Sportsman’s Club mem-
ber Don Dillman said not
everyone might agree with
Lynch’s teaching style but he
notes that for anyone wanting
to learn archery, Lynch will
find a way to make it happen
safely.
Dillman recalls Lynch
working with a youth with
physical limitations to ensure
he could try shooting by
pulling the string back for
him and letting the student
tell him when to release.
“Now he can pull the string
back by himself,” Lynch
said.
Archery as a lifestyle
Lynch is the oldest of sev-
en children and a father of
two daughters now in their
20s, and his motivation to
continue to teach archery
comes as no surprise to
VanderSanden.
Archery has been a big
part of their lives as a couple,
too. It’s what they did on
their first date, more than 13
years ago. She helps Lynch
out with the tournaments, as
do a handful of other people
including Weis, Dillman,
Steve Wagner and Teresa
Schnabel. The list of vol-
unteers could go on and on,
which is why Lynch has been
able to keep expanding the
youth archery program.
Along the way, he also got
a lot of support from his late
father James “Red” Lynch,
who passed away in Febru-
ary, Lynch said.
Not only has the rise in
archery interest increased the
Sportsman’s Club’s member-
ship by about 20 or so mem-
bers, but it’s “opened up the
club to the public,” Dillman
said.
Because spor t sman’ s
clubs are often perceived as
a “good old boys’ club,” the
youth archery program has
brought in new blood and
Dillman says it shows that
it’s not just for hunters.
“You got your hardcore
hunters, your weekend war-
riors and then you got guys
like me who just want to
shoot archery,” he said.
Many of the club members
and youth archery tourna-
ment goers expressed grati-
tude for the program Lynch
has built.
“The club is very proud
of what he’s done,” Dillman
said. “These kids are sav-
ing this club. They are our
future.”

With the ground still fro-
zen and temperatures slowly
moving into the 50s, this
Thursday’s Badger South
Conference game at Mon-
roe is likely to be postponed.
That would leave the Ore-
gon girls softball team with
six games to make up before
even getting outside for a
single practice.
They are not alone.
“So far, the closest we
have been to being outside
is fly balls in the parking
lot,” head coach Michael
Derrick said. “The gym is
testing the coaching staff’s
creativity for drills to keep it
fun and productive.”
The outlook isn’t any
brighter for the Panthers’
boys tennis team, which
opens the season Friday at
McFarland. Oregon has yet
to get outside, opting rather
to find a little space at Hit-
ters Sportsplex in Middleton
where the team was able to
get a few courts.
The boys and girls track
squad is one of the last
teams to get outside, a result
of opening the season with
at least a few indoor meets.
It hopes to be the first group
to get in a meet this spring,
as it’s slated to attend the
Badger Chal l enge meet
Tuesday, April 9, in Por-
tage.
Oregon already had to
reschedule its non-confer-
ence meet at Belleville from
Tuesday to April 12.
Girls soccer
Al t hough t he Oregon
girls soccer team can play
in more difficult conditions
during a season, including
rain and mud, the snow-
covered fields have caused
problems.
Not only has the weather
prevented any practices out-
side, but the team was also
forced to cancel a scrim-
mage March 23. And head
coach Julie Grutzner said it

Gavin, who is a student at Brooklyn Elementary School, and Damian, who is a student at RCI, said they wanted to enjoy winter sports one
last time on their spring break.
Boys hockey
Carignan nets
All-State honors
Jeremy Jones
Sports editor
Oregon’s boys hockey
team struggled through
injuries and
suspensions
for much of
its season,
which made
it rare for
the Panthers
t o have a
full comple-
me n t o f
pl ayers at
any time this season.
Midway through the sea-
son Oregon found itself on
the wrong side of a WIAA
postseason playoff ban
– a result of three game
disqualifications.
Through it all though the
one constant for the Pan-
thers was junior goaltender
Kyle Carignan. Last month
the Wisconsin Hockey
Coaches Association took
note, awarding Carignan as
an honorable mention All-
State goaltender.
“Obviously, I would have
liked to meet the team goals
of winning conference or
sectionals, but getting on the
All-State team does mean
a lot because there were
some very good goalies in
the state this year,” said the
5-foot, 8-inch, 145-pound
Carignan, who turned in a

Sights like this one at the Oregon varsity softball diamond have become common occurrences as snow, water and mud sit atop most local
fields, forcing teams to postpone games and keep practices indoors longer than usual. Though some non-conference games may not be
able to be rescheduled, most Panther athletic teams are hoping to get outside by the end of this week.
Postponements continue as spring temperatures slowly rise

could have an effect for the
first game, scheduled for 7
p.m. Friday against Madi-
son Memorial.
The girls weren’t able
to practice outside until
Wednesday, and their game
might need to be moved
from t he Oregon Hi gh
School field to Jaycee Park
if the grass isn’t strong
enough yet. But they are
still focused on doing what
they can, especially with so
many other teams suffering
the same fate this spring.
“We are just trying to get
the girls ready for when we
can be outside,” Grutzner
said. “We have been work-
ing on small-sided stuff in
gymnasiums whenever we
can find time, usually later
at night so we have more
space for our team. We just
talk about what we want to
do outside and about the
season and just get them
fired up, so that when we
actually can get outside, we
are rearing to go.”
Baseball
Things are a little tough-
er for the Oregon baseball
team, which has already
lost two games this year
and loads of practice time
due to the weather.
Head coach Kevin Con-
nor said it reminds him of
growing up in the north,
when you couldn’t get out-
side until late because snow
was on the ground. He
doesn’t remember a spring
like this one in the Oregon
area.
The latest game to be
postponed was Tuesday’s
game at conference rival
Fort Atkinson, which was
rescheduled to April 22.
Oregon now has games
scheduled for 5 p.m. Thurs-
day against Monroe and 5
p.m. Friday against Madi-
son West.
Connor said he doesn’t
expect Thursday’s game
to happen, but he is hope-
ful the team can reschedule
Monroe for Friday. That
would also knock Madison
West off the schedule, with
little chance of reschedul-
ing non-conference games.
Despite difficulties with
practice and simulating
game situations, Connor
said the Panthers can use
this as a teachable moment.
“Indoors is not ideal. It is
not how baseball is meant to
be played, but we are asked
to do it right now because it
is out of our control,” Con-
nor said. “We have to get
mentally tough and get bet-
ter and work on the things
that we can inside, knowing
we are eventually going to
get out there. We just don’t
know when.”
The team has shagged
some fly balls in the park-
ing lot to prepare for the
time when the field is ready.

Delays: Teams struggle to get outside
Catching up with ...
Oregon graduate Skyler Debilzen has his
sights set on helping to pitch the University
of Wisconsin- La Crosse baseball team to
a second consecutive Wisconsin Intercolle-
giate Athletic Conference (WIAC) title.
Debilzen is a relief pitcher and has been
since he graduated from Oregon in 2008,
and he has also pitched in the Northwoods
League for the Wisconsin Rafters.
The Observer recently caught up with
Debilzen with a short questionnaire, and
these are his answers:
OO – The Eagles won their first outright
league title since 1978 a season ago and
also won their second WIAC tournament
title (2000).
Yet despite returning 17 letterwinners,
the team is picked to finish second behind
Whitewater in the WIAC this season. How
do you feel about the team’s prospects?
SD – I feel that our team will be a very
strong competitor to repeat as conference
champions in the WIAC.
The WIAC may be the toughest confer-
ence in all of Division III athletics. Each
game and series in conference is a dog fight
to the end.
Last year, we went on quite a remarkable
run posting a league best 21-2 conference
record, and we hope to do the same this year
as we return some big bats and many key
arms in the rotation.
OO – You’ve come mostly out of the
bullpen up to now. As one of four
returning pitchers, do you expect
to see more i nni ngs thi s season?
SD – This year will be pretty similar to
last year as a bullpen guy. After doing it
for a couple years now and establishing
that role, my number will most likely be
called on a little more this year.
So I would say I will probably see
a few more appearances and innings
pitched.
OO – How difficult has it been to
break into the rotation of a top-flight
program?
SD – When I first came into UW-La
Crosse, I wanted to be a starting pitcher.
But after my experience of coming out of
the bullpen, I would not want it any other
way now.
It’s a huge adrenaline rush coming in
with guys on base and shutting down the
opponents’ inning.
As for establishing yourself as a go-
to out of the pen, the biggest and hard-
est part would being able to come in, no
matter the situation, and push the nerves
to the side and be able to throw quality
strikes and record outs.
Once you can do that, it makes the pen-
role exhilarating.
OO – What has been the highlight for
you so far playing at La Crosse?
SD – My biggest highlight playing for La
Crosse was last year, winning the confer-
ence tournament.
I was able to pitch in the championship
game, and after we recorded the final out,
we had a big dog pile in the middle of the
diamond.
That is a moment I will never forget.
OO – You pitched the past two sea-
sons for the Wisconsin Rafters of the
Northwoods League. What was that
experience like?
SD – Pitching in the NWL for the Raf-
ters was an opportunity I never thought I
would get.
I remember when I was younger going
to Mallards’ games to watch Darin Ever-
son coach for the Woodchucks and just
dream of one day getting the chance to
play at that level.
I was fortunate enough to stumble my
way into a temp contract and then ran
with the opportunity. The past two sum-
mers were some of the greatest baseball
experiences of my life.
Being able to go out to the park 70
times to play a game in the summer may
be the closest I will ever get to feeling
like a professional baseball player.
The talent that the league holds is
remarkable, and I feel blessed to have
played in the league.
OO – With graduation right around
the corner, what are you looking to do
after school?
SD – After graduation, my plans are up
in the air right now, but I would like to
get into strengthening and conditioning
athletes for a year or two and then head
back to graduate school and become a
physical therapist.

Carignan: .932 save percentage this season
.932 save percentage.
Carignan finished the sea-
son with two shutouts and a
2.50 goals against average.
“This year was definitely
tough on the team and I,”
Carignan said. “It wasn’t
always easy facing so much
adversity, but I think it
helped us become better
hockey players as well as
tougher individuals off the
ice.”
The backstop for a very
young team with eight soph-
omores and two freshmen in
the lineup every night, Cari-
gnan finished the season with
a 6-13-2 record in 22 games.
“Kyle’s record doesn’t
indicate his performance
at all,” Oregon head coach
Rick Fleming said. “I think
Kyle’s All-State honor was
noted from the coaches who
played against us. I believe
that all of the coaches under-
stood what he meant to us.”
Fl emi ng and co-head
coach head Brad Masten-
brook were both instrumen-
tal in Carignan’s decision to
open-enroll at Oregon two
years ago.
“I liked the school a lot
and knowing coaches made
me a lot more comfortable
moving here,” said Carignan,
who transferred to Oregon
following his freshman year.
Carignan, who also plays
for the Team Wisconsin U16
team just saw that season
end in regionals. If they had
won the team would have
advanced on to nationals
without Carignan, who was
unable to play due to injuries.
“Kyle has a remarkable
ability of preparing himself
for every game,” Fleming
said. “He’s a true competitor
in every way.”
Fleming compared Cari-
gnan to another All-State
goal t ender he coached;
Stoughton’s Andrew Martin,
who led the Vikings to their
first state tournament appear-
ance as a senior.
“Kyle is a smaller goal-
tender, who like Andrew
moves well, competes at the
very highest level, and has
the ability to play the puck
with his stick,” he said. “I
have complete confidence in
Kyle when he comes out to
play the puck. He’s kind of
like a third defensemen back
there.”

Obituaries
Norman Erway
Norman D Erway, age
90, died Easter Sunday,
March 31, 2013, at home.
He was born June 24, 1922,
in Barry County, Mich.,
the fifth child of Louis and
Nina (Otis) Erway.
Norm spent part of his
early childhood in Florida
and then lived in Kalama-
zoo, Mich., and spent his
summers and weekends
with his cousin, Harold
Otis, on his grandparents’
farm near Hastings, Mich.
He gr a dua t e d f r om
Kalamazoo Central High
School in 1940 and attend-
ed Kal amazoo Col l ege,
where he won several priz-
es in chemistry and gradu-
ated in 1944 with majors in
chemistry and physics. Nor-
man worked on the Manhat-
tan Project of the Atomic
Energy Commission at the
University of Chicago dur-
ing World War II.
On June 9, 1945, he
and Wilma Fechter were
married at their college
chapel in Kalamazoo, and
together they moved to Chi-
cago for a year. In 1946,
t hey moved t o Oregon,
where Norm attended grad-
uate school in chemistry at
the University of Wiscon-
sin.
In 1947, t hey formed
a partnership and started
a scientific glassblowing
business making and repair-
ing scientific glass appa-
ratus for the University of
Wisconsin and other uni-
versities and laboratories all
over the country and over-
seas.
Norman was most proud
of being the glassblower
for many Nobel Prize win-
ners at UW-Madison. John
Ames joined them in the
shop in 1959. The business
celebrated its 65th anniver-
sary in 2012.
The Erways were blessed
with three daughters; Kim
in 1953, Tracy in 1955 and
Ricky in 1957; and with
one granddaughter, Cath-
erine, in 1992. The Erways
traveled all over the United
States and Canada. In 1964,
they built a vacation home
on the Petenwell Flowage
of the Wisconsin River,
where they spent much of
their time.
Norm loved downhill ski-
ing and skied frequently in
the Midwest and western
states, as well as Austria
and Switzerland. Norm con-
tinued to downhill ski until
he was 87 years old. He
also enjoyed cross-coun-
try skiing, snowmobiling,
ice-boating, ice-fishing,
whitewater and flat water
canoeing, camping, hiking,
boating, sailing, swimming,
snorkeling, fishing, hunt-
ing, beach combing, and
visiting and photographing
light houses.
He and Willie traveled
extensively, visiting six
continents, most recently
China in 2007. They took
adventurous trips on dories
through the Grand Canyon
on the Colorado River, on
old sailing ships off the
Maine Coast, and on river
cruises in the US, Canada
and Europe.
With their family, they
took a horse pack trip in
Montana, chartered sail-
boats in the Caribbean,
whitewater rafted in Idaho
and Ut ah, and enj oyed
houseboat vacat i ons i n
Utah, Minnesota and Mis-
souri.
In recent years, Norm
was passionate about the
conversion of the family
farm he enjoyed as a youth
into the Michigan Audubon
Society Otis Farm Bird
Sanctuary. He and Willie
helped finance and led the
building of a floating board-
walk through the marsh and
the renovation of the barn
into a nature center.
Norman is survived by
his wife of 67 years, Wil-
ma; three daughters, Kim
(Bill) Birck of Missoula,
Mont.,Tracy (Baxter) Bur-
ton of Effingham, Ill., and
Ricky Erway (and partner
Ted Brooks) of Redwood
City, Calif.; a granddaugh-
ter, Catherine Rose Burton
(the light of his later years),
who is attending Millikin
University in Decatur, Ill.;
his English Springer Span-
iel, Nellie; many cous-
ins, nieces and nephews
in Michigan; and by their
friend and coworker, John
Ames and his family.
He was preceded in death
by his parents; two broth-
ers, Frederick and Charles;
two sisters, Betty (Harry)
Meech and Marion (Serafi-
no) Gesmundo; many cous-
ins, including Harold Otis;
and several dear aunts and
uncles.
There will be no visita-
tion or formal services. His
ashes will be scattered at
their vacation home on the
Petenwell and at the Otis
Farm Bird Sanctuary. In
lieu of flowers, memorials
may be made to the Otis
Farm Bird Sanctuary (c/o
Michigan Audubon Soci-
ety, Box 15249, Lansing,
Mich. 48901).
The family would like to
thank the staff of Agrace
Hos pi c e Ca r e , Da r c e y
Nett and the caregivers of
Always Best Care Senior
Services, and especially to
John and Carol Ames and
their daughter Dana Lind-
sey for the loving care pro-
vided to Norm and the fam-
ily.
