Local businessman Jamie Bush hopes to open his new single-story restaurant/ bar and volleyball facility Headquarters Bar and Grill on the villages south side by mid-September, after the Village Board finally approved his building plan Monday. Bush has been working to win the boards approval for more than a year. Hes made numerous changes to his plan, including moving from the original proposed site to another lot nearby and then

moving back to the original site at the corner of Concord Drive and Wolfe Street. Much of the difficulty has been with earning the villages financial support, which it offered in March after he agreed to a deadline for adding a banquet hall to the facility. The board approved the plan for the 5,940 squarefoot building on a 5-1-1 vote, with Village President Steve Staton and trustees Jerry Bollig, David Donovan, Jeanne Carpenter and Phil Harms in support while Eric Poole voted against the motion. Trustee Darlene Groenier abstained. Its been an unbelievable amount of effort to get this thing pushed through, he

Oregon couple cycles coast to coast, fundraising for autism treatment

It was a fundraiser for Custom Canines Service Dog Academy, and their goal was to raise $40,000 to pay for training companion service dogs for kids with autism who are on the services waiting list in the next year. Lisa and Jeff Arndt didnt reach the fundraising target, but they did accomplish another goal: cycling coast to coast almost 3,000 miles in 47 days of riding. And they managed to raise about $10,000 for the service dog academy in Madison. Along the way, the Arndts learned much about parts of the country theyd never seen. And Lisa, in particular, learned that shes tougher than she knew. Weve kind of talked about doing another ride in another section of the country, maybe going north to south, she said last week, a day after returning from Florida. Its amazing that Im even talking like that, whereas two months ago I didnt know if I could complete a whole day. But Im so glad we did it. The Oregon couples first longdistance bike ride began March 8 in San Diego and ended April 29 in St. Augustine, Fla. They joined 22 other cyclists on a ride organized by Bubbas Pampered Pedalers, a Missouribased business that began offering bicycle trips about 10 years ago. As volunteers, the Arndts have been raising and training companion service dogs for autistic children for the past six or seven years.

When Jeff began looking into a cross-country bike ride last year, Lisa said she would go along only if they turned it into a fundraiser for the Service Dog Academy. When she learned that her employer would not allow the 52 days off she needed to do the ride, Lisa quit her job. The couple shipped their tandem bicycle to San Diego, met their riding companions seven weeks ago and set off for their grand adventure.

Low interest rate prompts borrowing

Board approves $1.8 million bonds sale

The journey

Jeff said his favorite part of the ride came in the first few days, as the couple pedaled from the Pacific Ocean up through the mountains of southern California.

See our Pets Section on pgs 10-15.

The Village Board Monday authorized about $1.8 million in borrowing, which will fund a host of projects, including improving a downtown parking lot, purchasing public works equipment and paying for three years of the villages annual street projects. The money will also help the village buy radios for the new DaneCom communications system and build a segment of a planned recreation trail on the north side. Financial consultant Jim Mann, of Ehlers and Associates, met with the board on April 15 and gave a detailed presentation of the options, noting that the village could save about

$47,000 by refinancing three state trust fund loans, which are coming due in June, because of extremely low interest rates. The board then signaled its intention to go ahead with the borrowing. Mann returned Monday to recommend that the village execute the sale of $1.8 million in bonds as soon as possible because the interest rate had dropped even lower to 1.14 percent over a 10-year period. Thats almost like getting free money, he told the board. The borrowing is expected to increase the average property tax bill by about $14, increasing the current average bill of $254 to $268, Mann said. Village administrator Mike Gracz said this is a good time to borrow not only because of the low interest rate, but also

Bush: Plans for restaurant, banquet hall, volleyball court approved after more than a year
Continued from page 1 said Tuesday. I never expected this level of difficulty. I understand why nobody else has built here (in the village) in a long time. In explaining his opposition, Poole said he had earlier been concerned about the many versions of the plan that Bush had presented over the past year. Bush said many of those changes were in response to the boards concerns. On Tuesday, Poole said he voted against the proposal because he wanted to remain consistent. I voted against this from the start, and if I changed my vote now people would wonder why, Poole said. But now that its approved, I really hope he builds the facility and that his business succeeds. he suspects it will fail, as other large restaurants (Valentines, the Waterfall) in the area have. He said he doesnt want to see another vacant building across the street from his home. Bush, who has owned Deaks bar and restaurant in Stoughton for the past five years, responded that Valentines had opened at the wrong time just as the recession hit in 2007. He promised the neighbors that were doing everything we can to eliminate noise and lights in the area. Weve done everything we can to make this familyfriendly, he said. He explained that Oregon needs a facility like this. As a coach of his childrens sports activities, he said, when families want to get together following their kids games there is no place to go thats local.

Bush said he began the surcharging the week of April 14, almost immediately after he purchased the 2.3-acre lot. The second phase involves building a 2,400-square-foot banquet hall. Bush said one of the most unusual things about his current plan is the indoor/outdoor volleyball courts hes designed. We have an outdoor area that has all four walls that can actually be removed, he explained. In the summertime, the only wall that you have is a wall between the main building and the volleyball area. So its completely outside, like a patio. But then in the winter, you open that wall and close the other three walls and it becomes an extension of the main building. So I can also have an indoor/outdoor fire pit, he added. I worked really hard on that design. Its awesome. Other features of the project include very tall ceilings in the main bar of 16 feet. The main dining room will have about 60 seats, with another 50 or 60 in the bar, Bush said. Itll be around 100 seats, plus more on the left side of the patio, he explained. On the south side of the patio its going to be lower seating, and then as you go north toward the court you run into this indoor-outdoor facility. There will be a bar and then two fire pits as kind of a natural barrier, and then seating on the patio, and then the seating to watch the volleyball. Bush said he plans to have about 50 employees when the business opens; most would be part-time. He also plans to continue his ownership and operation of his business in Stoughton, Deaks Pub and Grill.

TIF offered

Headquarters Bar and Grill will get $67860 in taxpayer assistance.

In March, the board offered Bush a total of $67,860 in TIF assistance in the form of three grants, all but $9,000 of which will be paid back through the increased taxes the project generates. The $9,000 TIF grant is because hes in a TIF District, and thats appropriate, village administrator Mike Gracz explained in March. Bush will also receive a $42,860 grant to build the banquet hall and up to $16,000 for permit and connection fees.

Gracz said the $42,860 is the incentive for Bush to build the banquet hall. The board feels theres a need for that in the community, and so theyre giving him an incentive to build one, he said. The financial assistance was offered on the condition that Bush provide the village with a letter of credit for about $42,000 and that he has the restaurant substantially complete by Dec. 31 of this year. He is also required to build the banquet hall by Dec. 31, 2015. If he doesnt meet the deadlines, hell have to repay $42,860 grant to the village,

according to the terms of the agreement.

Some opposition

The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the project last Thursday before voting unanimously to recommend that the Village Board approve it. Several neighbors living in condominiums and apartments near the site raised concerns. Most said they feared that noise and traffic would interfere with the residential character of their neighborhood. In response, village planner Mike Slavney recommended

In math, it was 68.2 percent for non-disadvantaged students and 41.6 percent for disadvantaged students. The proficiency standards for three other subjects tested by the WKCE language arts, science and social studies remain unchanged from last year. As for those results, 80.2 percent of Oregon students tested proficient or better in language arts, compared to 80.4 percent in November 2011. In science, scores improved, from 84.3 percent

Less than half of Oregon students tested proficient or better in reading under the states standardized exam last fall, while 63 percent reached that mark in mathematics, according to results recently released by the state. School officials across Wisconsin had warned that student scores for this school years Wisconsin Knowledge and Concepts Examination, the states longtime standardized test, would fall compared to past years because the state is now applying a more rigorous method of determining student proficiency on the exam. That higher standard is meant to prepare school districts for a new, computer adaptive standardized test that all students will begin taking within two years. A total of 47.8 percent of the Oregon students who took the WKCE exam in November 2012 were either proficient or advanced in reading, compared to the 63 percent in math, according to results released in late April by the state Department of Public Instruction. By comparison, 88.4 percent of the students who took the WKCE in November 2011 attained proficient or better in reading under the less rigorous standard, while 88.9 percent reached that mark in math.

in 2011 to 87.4 percent this year. In social studies, results remained largely stable, with 90.2 percent of students making proficient or better in 2011 while 89.8 percent did so in November 2012. Students in Grades 4, 8 and 10 take tests in reading, math, social studies, language arts and science for the WKCE, which consists of a series of multiple-choice tests. Students in Grades 3 and 5-7 take only the reading and math tests. School districts are already eyeing the new standardized test that is being developed by a consortium of states and that will replace the WKCE in the 2014-2015 school year. Both measures are part of Wisconsins waiver from the federal No Child Left Behind law. The more rigorous proficiency standards for the WKCE in the intervening time are meant to give school districts and the public a preview of higher expectations. Statewide, 35.3 percent of the students who took the test scored at proficient or better in reading, while 47.1 percent did so in math.

Fire causes $5,000 in damage

Firefighters spent about three hours at an apartment fire Friday night on Janesville Street. No injuries were reported, but the fire caused about $5,000 worth of damage, according to Capt. Robin Powers of the Oregon Fire Department. Powers said the fire was going to be classified as undetermined because the departments investigation couldnt pinpoint an exact cause. The fire was contained to a wall near an outside deck on the first floor, Powers said. Firefighters were called to the scene around 8:30 p.m. Bystanders said fire alarms went off in an apartment complex and residents headed outside. - Mark Ignatowski

Take notice of the world outside our windshield

owhere in our democracy is a tyranny of the majority more evident than in our transportation priorities. Tragically, most of our politicians represent Wisconsins voting majority far too well. Consider the ramifications of two attitudes which prevail among the motoring public: I have a right to drive everywhere I dont have any choice but to drive everywhere Different as they seem, both amount to the same ultimatum: If you want me to patronize your grocery store, restaurant, Main Street, mall, church, Noeldner school, library, community center, health club, amusement park whatever you had better make sure its easy for me to drive there and park. Elected officials, planners, developers, retailers, and organization leaders who fail to accommodate the motoring majority are quickly driven out of business. The result is a pernicious (if unintentional) form of self-segregation, one that makes community access more dangerous, difficult, unpleasant and sometimes impossible for a growing minority of Wisconsin citizens. Some of the people in this majority include people who cant afford a car, those who dont qualify for a drivers license, those who dont have family or friends (or staff) to chauffeur them and those who simply dont want to drive everywhere, for whatever reason. Its tough for them to survive where motorists dominate the landscape. But this isnt visible from the inside of a windshield. You cant begin to understand the world of non-motorists if you dont have skin in the game. The motoring majority does not. Instead, this majority has excellent reasons to keep on driving everywhere: No time to do anything else. Only creeps and losers ride the bus.

Sidewalks are empty. Everything is too far away to walk. Roads are too dangerous to bike. Its too hot, too cold, too wet, too dark. The bottom line is: Im not going anywhere without my car. As though people who cant drive dont have to cope with these obstacles every day. As though people who drive everywhere dont make life worse for those who cant. Whats true for the motoring majority is even more true for very important people like legislators and the governor. Walk to the grocery store? Roll a wheelchair to the bus stop? Push a baby stroller to the library? Ride a bicycle to church? On a regular basis? This is a joke, right? No, we need public servants who know first-hand what life is like for people who cant drive. But redressing the injustices wrought by more than a half-century of automotive self-segregation will take more than self-locomoted politicians. We, the people, need to put our skins in the game too. Our first step is to reject a vision of community access which grovels to speed, power and armored self-defense. It is not merely unjust for us to focus on making life as convenient as possible for persons who wish to frequently move large amounts of personal property over long distances at high speeds (i.e. to drive everywhere). It is ruinous financially, crippling socially and unsustainable ecologically. Our second step is to commit to ourselves to attitudes and habits that make our own street, our community and the world around us safe, practical and welcoming for other people to walk, roll wheelchairs, push baby strollers, ride bicycles and share motorized forms of transportation. And our third step is to start stepping. Those of us who are physically able need to learn firsthand what life is like for people who cant drive to live where we live. That means we need to regularly walk and bike and push baby strollers and ride the bus and spend some time in a wheelchair too. The point isnt to never drive

Without this visceral experience, we cant begin to imagine how we must change our attitudes, habits, infrastructure and laws to welcome everyone into the places we call home.

Please contact your legislators, members of the Joint Committee on Finance and governor as soon as possible and tell them the following: Highway spending is clearly out of control. State and Interstate highways, which make up 12 percent of the lane-miles in Wisconsin, gobble up more than 50 percent of the budget, according to statistics on the state Department of Transportation website. Yet even this isnt enough to pay for repair and maintenance. Forget more borrowing, its time to put the WisDOT on a diet and cut highway spending by 10 percent. Thats $300 million. Local government, which owns 88 percent of lane-miles, deserves a 20 percent increase ($164 million). Goodbye potholes and broken sidewalks; hello stoplights and pedestrian crossings. Public transit essential for those who cant drive or afford a car merits a 30 percent boost, or $65 million. How better to reduce our demand for costly highways than to share vans and buses and commuter trains, rather than driving alone?

After 34 years, accordion festival is no more

Rudy Burkhalter Memorial Jamboree was held in Oregon for past decade

Unified Newspaper Group

If you missed the annual Rudy Burkhalter Memorial Jamboree last weekend, its not your fault. For the first time in 35 years, the gathering of area accordionists did not take place. Burkhalter and some friends started the jamboree in 1978 as a way to get together and play their accordions and concertinas. The event was held in the Oregon High School Performing Arts Center since about 2001 no one seems to know for sure what year it was first held in Oregon but the group of players is getting on in years and decided last year to disband the event. After Burkhalter who started the well-known Burkhalter Travel in Madison passed away in 1994, the jamboree became a memorial for the master accordionist. Eighty-seven-year-old

He had a lot of students, hundreds from around Madison and the area, McDermott recalled. He had a degree in music, and many of us took lessons from him. It was a real going thing. McDermott spoke with the Observer last week and answered some questions about the event and its founder.

Letter carriers help stamp out hunger

The United States Postal Service, National Association of Letter Carriers, and the Campbell Soup Company are looking for help in their mission to Stamp Out Hunger in Oregon. To participate in the annual Stamp Out Hunger food drive residents can leave a bag of non-perishable food items, such as canned soup, canned vegetables, peanut butter, pasta, rice or cereal, next to their mailbox prior to the time of regular mail delivery Saturday, May 11. Letter carriers will collect these food donations as they deliver the mail and take them to Oregon/Brooklyn Food Pantry. Now in its 21st year, the annual food drive has grown into a national effort that provides assistance to the millions of Americans struggling to put food on the table. The need for food assistance exists in every community in America, no matter how rich or poor. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, more than 50 million Americans are food insecure, meaning they live at risk of hunger. Food banks and pantries often receive the majority of their donations during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday seasons. By springtime, many pantries are depleted, entering the summer low on supplies at a time when many school breakfast and lunch programs are not available. For more information about the annual Stamp Out Hunger food drive, visit helpstampouthunger. com or facebook.com/ StampOutHunger, and follow the drive at twitter. com/StampOutHunger.

Love All of Gods Creation

Love all of Gods creation, even that which seems unlovable. Its easy to love kittens and bunnies and roses and rainbows. But, we have trouble when it comes to loving the cockroach or the rat, or the stench from the sewer. But, that stench is Gods creation too, microscopic life doing exactly what God created it to do. That doesnt mean you want to bathe in it. The stench may be natures way of telling us to keep our distance. There may be good reasons why we are naturally repulsed by spiders, snakes and other venomous critters. But, that doesnt mean we cant love and admire them on some level. Most of us will never have the same warm fuzzy feeling for a rat, a bat, or a snake that we will have for a kitten, but that doesnt keep us from admiring the amazing way in which bats navigate their environment or the amazing way in which rats have managed to survive despite our best attempts to wipe them out. All of Gods creation is lovable, every grain of sand and every creepy crawly thing and every prickly plant and every form of radiation. We should strive to love all of Gods creation without bias. Love all Gods creation, the whole and every grain of sand of it. Love every leaf, every ray of Gods light. Love the animals, love the plants, love everything.If you love everything, you will perceive the divine mystery in things. Once you perceive it, you will begin to comprehend it better every day. And you will come at last to love the whole world with an all-embracing love. Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Mackenzie Turbidy got his first taste of theater last winter, when he played the role of Tic Toc the Time Machine in the Oregon High School production of Ozma of Oz:A Tale of Time, in February. On Thursday, Turbidy will tackle a new theatrical challenge when he directs Basest of Companions, a play he wrote in just under two months after Ozma wrapped up. Tickets are free, though organizers are suggesting a $5 donation to benefit a Hawaii-based non-profit organization, Far Corners Community Musical Theater, that helps stage dramatic productions in poor or isolated communities worldwide. OHS drama supervisor Kathleen Tissot is directing and producing a Far Corners play in Costa Rica for the group this summer. The suggested donation was Turbidys idea, Tissot said. Hes a super creative guy and humble and I think it was really big-hearted of

said. The 17-year-old junior said he and some friends were inspired by a studentwritten play last year, The Prank Committee, by then-senior Alice Gehrke. Encouraged by his classmates, he offered to write a play himself. He decided on a mystery that mixes suspense with some comedic lines, similar to the movie Clue. The plot involves a wealthy, old inventor named Nicholas

A play written and directed by OHS junior Mackenzie Turbidy will be him to offer that, Tissot Sinclair who, to ensure that performed Thursday at the schools Performing Arts Center.

his wealth will be looked after properly after he dies, invites several guests to a dinner party on a rainy night, Turbidy said in a plot synopsis. But as the rain strengthens into an aggressive storm the party takes a turn for the worst, the summary said. The 70-minute production has a 12-person cast including a one-line cameo by Turbidy himself that has been rehearsing roughly two hours a day after school

since mid-March. Turbidy said that while theater piques his interest, his passion is for film. With friends, he has made some short films already, including one shown at the high schools recent Fine Arts Week. After high school, he hopes to study film and directing at Tribeca Flashpoint Academy in Chicago.

two events this month to help Far Corners. The other, an open mic night at Firefly Coffeehouse, is set for 6-8 p.m. Friday, May 17 at the Firefly Coffeehouse. Students will perform songs, jokes or skits and open the microphone to audience members, too, Tissot said. Admission is free, but donations are welcome. Tissot, a 13-year teachCosta Rica connection ing veteran at OHS, found Turbidys play is one of out about the organization

through a former OHS exchange student, Luis Dario Villalobos, a Far Corners alum from Monteverde, Costa Rica, who was active in theater during his year at OHS in 2010-11. Dario said that this program changed his life, and I wanted to be part of something that powerful, Tissot said in an email. Villalobos put Tissot in touch with Far Corners organizers in Monteverde, and the group flew her to Costa Rica over spring break. On June 17, Tissot will leave again for Costa Rica for nearly two months to direct and produce a musical, In the Heights,for Far Corners. The cast will consist of kids from five area schools ranging from ages 11 to 19, she said. The organization has a shoe-string budget, Tissot said, that depends on volunteers, college interns and donations like those she hopes to raise in Oregon this month. She hopes to broadcast the open mic event online so the Costa Rican group can watch and perform their own acts, too.

Chocolate Caper owners to retire

Popular store to end retail operations this year
Bill Livick
Unified Newspaper Group

In brief
Chamber outing set for May 21

For the past quarter century, area chocolate lovers have been drawn to the little shop in downtown Oregon where they still make homemade chocolate by hand, one batch at a time. But a good business, like a delicious piece of chocolate, doesnt last forever. And the owners of the Chocolate Caper, Claude and Ellen Marendaz, are beginning to wind down their operation. Basically, well be closing to the public at the end of the year, Ellen Marendaz said last week. Ellen explained that she and Claude will both soon be turning 68 and they find themselves very tired at the end of each season. Theyve traditionally taken a break during the summer months, both because of the high cost of air conditioning their shop and also because theyre sensible people who think theres more to life than work. The couple began making chocolate out of their Oregon home in 1984 and sold the product at the Dane County Farmers Market. They opened their first retail store here in about 87 or 88 they couldnt remember for sure off the top of their heads. Since then, The Chocolate Caper has gained a sort of regional fame for the quality chocolate and also for Claude and Ellens personal approach to doing business. The boxes of free

The Oregon Area Chamber of Commerces annual golf outing will take place May 21 at the Legend at Bergamont golf course. The chamber is now accepting registrations for the event, which is also a fundraiser for the chamber. Registration costs $135 per golfer or $500 for a foursome and includes dinner and hole prizes. Hole sponsorships are also available. This years outing also features a traveling trophy (handicaps and average scores will be taken into account), the chamber said, while features like the ball drop, silent auction and pin prizes also return. The event begins with registration at noon, followed by a 1 p.m. shotgun start. The cocktail hour starts at 5:30 p.m., followed by a barbecue buffet at 6 p.m. and the award presentation at 6:30 p.m. For more information or to register for the event, visit the chamber website at oregonwichamber.com or call 835-3697.

Claude and Ellen Marendaz, owners of The Chocolate Capers, plan to close to the public by October. Their business has been a popular chocolate shop for people of all ages in Oregon since the late 1980s.

OCB welcomes Mortensen to board

samples that sit on a counter next to the cash register have delighted kids and adults alike for years. As in years past, The Chocolate Caper will close for the summer after Memorial Day. The shop will reopen for retail business on Sept. 17, but will close somewhat permanently on Oct. 12. Between mid-October and mid-December, the couple will work on making chocolate for Thanksgiving and Christmas. But in order for you to buy some, youll have to place

an order by July 1. Thats the deadline. If you want chocolate for both holidays, Ellen and Claude ask that you fill out two order forms one for each celebration. Its the only way we could think to do it so that people could have a chance to get what they wanted, because if we just put what we make out for retail, somebody could come in and take 15 boxes and theyd be gone, Ellen explained. If people dont get their order in, theres nothing

we can do. If we can produce more than people order, then we will, but we cant guarantee anything. If theres anything left over, well put it on the table for the dates well be open. Those dates are: Nov. 23, 25-27 and Dec. 9-14. Customers can get an order form from the Chocolate Caper website chocolatecaper.com and mail it or drop it off at the store at 105 S. Main St. by July 1. They ask that customers do not order by phone or email. In their annual letter to

customers and friends, the couple explained their plans and reasoning, and noted that present customers get priority. Were both going to be 68 this year, and you cant make chocolate forever, Ellen told the Observer . Lately weve had reminders that everyone is mortal and you cant work forever. To find an order form or learn more details, visit chocolatecaper.com.

Mortensen started All-Color Powder Coating in January 1996, and the company has grown to be one of the largest in the village, the bank said. He also previously served as a president of the villages board of trustees. Mr. Mortensen has a long and valued relationship with Oregon Community Bank & Trust, Steve Peotter, president and chief executive officer of Oregon Community Bank & Trust, said in the release. He is a wellknown business person in the community and will make a great addition to our Board of Directors.

Masons on Main, the upscale yet welcoming new restaurant thats coming to downtown Oregon, will open later this month. So says Bonnie Thiel, who along with her husband, Jerry, and their son Hans, will own and operate the new business on South Main Street in downtown Oregon. Thiel said they plan to have two dining rooms in the 3,600-square-foot

a good selection of locally brewed beers on tap. The south dining room will be elegantly casual, with tin ceilings and an open kitchen. In addition to the craft beers, the restaurant will offer a full selection of fine wines. The Thiels are partnering with executive chef Jonathan Cross and plan to offer lunches, daily specials, smaller entrees and

Knowing household dangers can save your pets life

Household pets are adorably curious, but they cant read labels or plant their own gardens. One of the biggest mistakes pet owners can make is to underestimate a pets curiosity and overlook dangers of common household items, both indoors and outdoors. Its up to us to read labels for them, make sure cleaning chemicals and other toxins are out of reach and maintain gardens that stimulate our pets curiosity with safety in mind. Responsible pet ownership is about more than feeding your pet nutritious meals and going on walks. Its more holistic its a lot like caring for a child, says Dr. Tiffany Bierer, health and nutritional sciences manager at Mars Petcare US. You need to anticipate certain dangers and remove them from the realm of possibility. Thats what we did in our office, and it only takes a little effort to do the same at home. Mars Petcare US knows all about designing spaces with pet safety as a top priority. Safety measures are fundamental since the companys employees are encouraged to bring their dogs to work each day. Pet owners could borrow a few tips from the makers of Pedigree, Cesar and Sheba pet foods: Be mindful of toxic plants. Many common plants, such as Azaleas, Oleander, Daffodils, Lilies, Tulips and Hyacinth, are toxic to pets and should be avoided in indoor and outdoor areas where pets are free to roam. Many mushrooms also present dangers, including death. Its important to do your research since mushrooms can be difficult to identify. Use caution when applying garden poisons, insecticides and fertilizers. Many gardeners use traps for small rodents, snails and slugs. These are extremely toxic if consumed, requiring immediate veterinary attention. Most over-the-counter insecticides and fertilizers

Ralf, a Daschund.

Ralf
Owner name: Kerry Vogel Pet name: Ralf Vogel Pets age: 1 year, 5 months What kind of pet do you have? Daschund How long have you had your pet? Since he was a few months old What makes your pet special? The Dachshund breed is known for their stubbornness and aggression towards unknown people and dogs. Luckily, Ralf has none of these qualities. He is aggressive towards no one and is very accepting of other people and dogs. Another special quality about Ralf is that he loves to drive. He insists on being on the drivers lap with his paws on the steering wheel. Of course this is unsafe so the passenger must hold him. He gets over it rather quickly as long as the passenger window is rolled down so he can put his head out of the window. Lastly, I would like to mention that Ralf is a proper gentleman. When Ralf is being held he insists on sitting in the crook of your arm and sitting upright like a little human. Funny or cute story about your pet? I took Ralf to a cookout one summer for a play date. I knew the people throwing the party also had a wiener dog and I figured they would have a great time playing. However, I was a bit surprised to learn that they ALSO had a Bull Mastif named Tiny, a Saint Bernard, and two New Foundland mixes. I was a bit worried that Ralf would be intimidated or scared of several big dogs. Surprisingly, Ralf hardly noticed the size difference. (see picture of Ralf and his friend Tiny). All of the bigger dogs simply laid down for Ralf to smell them and give them kisses. After all the sniffing was done they would roll around and Ralf would crawl all over them.

Owner name: Lisa and Norm Draeger Pet name: Buddy Pets age: six, end of May 2013 What kind of pet do you have? Buddy is our domestic shorthair cat. How long have you had your pet? We have had Buddy five years. He was adopted as a stray, at a year old by vets estimate. What makes your pet special? Buddy is very affectionate, not at all stand-offish as cats often are thought to be. He is very bright and inquisitive. He sleeps in bed with us every night. He is a bit shy around strangers, until he gets to know them. Funny or cute story about your pet? We have oak cabinets in kitchen and bath that opens just by pulling on the edge of a door -- no latches. One evening, my wife told me that Buddy was in the main bathroom, playing with a cabinet door. Sure enough, a few minutes later, he was in the small powder room off the master bedroom. I

heard thump-thump as he opened a lower cabinet door and let it close again. You could see by the expression on his face that he was fascinated by this. He has never repeated this (that we know) -- guess he figured it out to his satisfaction, and the novelty wore off!

Safety: Plants can be toxic

Continued from page 10 can upset a pets stomach, but some contain more dangerous chemicals that can cause death if consumed. Its important to follow directions when applying a chemical to your yard and keep pets away from the area. Inform neighbors when applying insecticides and fertilizers since these products can drift in light winds, and always store them in controlled areas. Always store household cleaning supplies in controlled spaces. Like insecticides and fertilizers, household cleaners should be stored in controlled spaces since they can cause death very quickly. Batteries, fire logs and glue should also be kept out of reach of pets. Keep toxic foods and medicines out of reach. Chocolate, raisins, sugarfree gum, star fruit and grapes are toxic to pets and should be kept out of reach, just like ibuprofen and amphetamine medications. Following these tips is the next best thing to teaching pets to read labels, says Dr. Bierer. It not only makes your home a safer place for your pets, it makes it safer overall. If you suspect your pet has consumed a toxic substance, immediately contact your veterinarian or the Pet Poison Hotline at (800) 231-6680.

Panthers all tied up at Verona

A link to the future

Rebuilding year starts to show potential
Anthony Iozzo
Assistant sports editor

Things looked bright for the Oregon girls soccer team during a sunny Tuesday contest at Verona. The Panthers were up one goal with three minutes to play, and time was ticking away. But then Verona freshman Shelly Wing struck. Wing split the Oregon defense with a pass up the middle of the field to freshman Ellery Roark in the 78th minute, and Roark finished the play with a fast roller past senior goalie Brit Peckham to tie the game. That 1-1 score remained after two overtimes. We got caught defensively, got caught out a place, Oregon head coach Julie Grutzner said. (Wing) had a nice touch, and (Roark) had a nice finish. Oregon struck first in the 70th minute after senior forward Annie Zavoral found junior midfielder Eliza Neidharts head. Neidhart smashed the ball into the goal for a 1-0 lead. Oregon had other opportunities to score in both the second half and in overtime but came up empty handed. That is something Grutzner said is going to be important in the final weeks of the season. We had some chances that we should have put in the back of the net, she said. We had some crosses where we passed right to the keeper. We have to make it a bit more dangerous and be a bit more dynamic offensively. Peckham finished with 12 saves, while Verona senior goalie Sarah Schoeberle collected 11. Oregon (9-1-1 overall, 3-0 conference) plays three conference games this next week as it vies for its second straight Badger South title. Grutzner said that one of the Panthers goals is to defend that title. Oregon travels to Stoughton at 7 p.m. Thursday, and it hosts Monroe at 7 p.m. Friday.

I was close to her when I was younger, and for the tournament as a whole, I think it puts a more positive light on it, Cowan said. This just isnt about hockey and drinking beer. It is about coming together, being with your friends, sharing those old memories and supporting a cause that is worth fighting for. This is the fourth year for the alumni tournament but the first as a fundraiser to fight pancreatic cancer. Cowan said the tournament belongs to Becky now.

Becky Temple, the wife of former Oregon High School head coach Gene Temple, passed away on May 9, 2012 from a battle with pancreatic cancer. Becky Temple was a hockey mom to many of the community hockey youth, including alumnus Ben Cowan, and helped out when she could. So this year, the Labatt Blue Alumni Hockey Tournament at Oregon Community Sports Arena is honoring her by attempting to raise $10,000 or more for the UW Carbone Cancer Center Pancreas Cancer Research Fund with the tournament, May 10-12, and a 9 p.m. Saturday concert in a Buckys Rental Tent by the arena. For Cowan, who helped organize the event, this means a lot more than just reunions and good

Young is one word to describe the Oregon boys golf team this season. Rebuilding is another. Head coach Ben Cowan said that the Panthers are primed for success in 2014 and 2015 when he said he expects the best team in school history, or at least one as good as the 2000 squad that made state. But with only two seniors on the squad this season, there have been flashes of potential, as seen by Torhorst No. 1 sophomore Carson Torhorsts 4-under par 32 against Monona Grove on May 1 at The Oaks Golf Course. The Panthers lost 150167, but Cowan said that is the Carson he knows. (Carson) puts a lot of pressure on himself to play well, Cowan said. He has been at that No. 1 spot half of last year and all of this season, so he expects to play well maybe a little too much pressure on himself. But he really broke out at The Oaks blew the field away. Add freshman Grant ODonnell, who is No. 2 on the Oregon depth charts, and his consistent scores between 39 and 43 this season, and Oregon is shaping up to have a formidable duo along with the other freshmen and sophomores who are learning about playing the game and balancing school life as the youngest team in the conference. ODonnell shot a 1-over par 37 against the Silver Eagles. Cowan said that his early career success stems from his time on the ice for the Oregon boys hockey team. (ODonnell) is not intimidated by anyone, Cowan said. He is not going to go up there and shoot a 46 because he is worried of who he is up against, which I love. He just wants to win. He is a consistent, good ball striker. Sophomore Tyler Hake, another young varsity golfer, shot a 46 against Monona Grove, while senior Zach Eyers finished with a 52. Oregon finished the conference dual season 1-4. But besides the young players, senior Charlie Groenier, who has played

Golf
Continued from page 15 for the junior varsity, and Eyers are just as important to a rebuilding team. The balance of sports and school can be difficult for some of the younger players. For example, the Panthers golfers miss Wednesday and Thursday this week to compete in the Morgan Stanley Shootout at Hawks Landing Golf Course. Next week, they miss Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday for the Spartan Invitational (Monday), the Badger Cup (Tuesday) and the Badger South Conference Tournament (Wednesday, May 15). With grades to worry about, family and social life and finals on the horizon, this stretch is one of the toughest on any student golfer. It is tough, especially for these young guys, to miss so much school and play good golf, Cowan said. For these guys to be freshman and sophomores playing varsity and missing school, it is really going to open their eyes to how hard they are going to have to work while they are there. As for expectations for the finish to this season, Cowan said he doesnt have any. He just would like the team to have fun and compete to the best of its ability. I just want them to work on getting comfortable out there and their short game eliminating the big numbers. That has been one of our issues this year, Cowan said. They will go out and have mostly birdies, pars and a couple of bogeys, but then there will be one big number. It seems like that one big number, especially in ninehole matches, just kills you. The second round of the Stanley Morgan Shootout is at 8 a.m. Thursday, while the Spartan Invitational is at 12 p.m. Monday at Blackhawk Country Club. The Badger Cup is at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday at The House on the Rock Resort Golf Course. The conference tournament is also at the House on the Rock. That meet begins at 8:30 a.m.

Sprint relays power boys to Stoughton Invitational title

Jeremy Jones
Sports editor

Panthers head coach Ned Lease knew entering Fridays Stoughton Invitational that the Panthers were in for a big test perhaps their biggest to date. Oregon showed no signs of wilting under the pressure though, winning the meet, which was pelted by constant rain, with 114.5 points. Only four points separated second-place Sun Prairie (98), who finished 16.5 points back from Oregon, and the host Vikings (94). Waunakee rounded out the top three with a score of 97. Once again the Panthers sprint relays led the way as freshman Lucas Mathews, sophomores Brock Buckner and Lucas Knipfer and junior Jawon Turner took both the 4x100 (45.71) and 4x200 (1:35.46) relays. Oregon continued to get strong showings from its underclassmen sprinters as Buckner (11.66) and Mathews (11.80) finished third and fourth in the 100-meter dash. Turner (41-4) and Buckner (1811) also came through big in the jumps, finishing second and fourth in the triple and long jump, respectively. Sophomore Christian Alcala won the 110-high hurdles (16.60) and classmate John Hermus came away in fifth. Freshman Alex Duff

Panthers shut down Vikings Oregon still searching for answers after loss A constant offense attack for Badger South victory by Badger South Conference

Badger South
Team W-L Stoughton 6-2 Milton 6-2 Madison Edgewood 3-2 Fort Atkinson 4-3 Monona Grove 2-4 Oregon 3-6 Monroe 0-5

The last time junior pitcher Logan Laski faced Stoughton, he was on the losing end of a one-run game. Oregon baseball head coach Kevin Connor said he knew that Tuesdays game against the Vikings would be just as close as Laski took the mound once again. This time, Laski shut down Stoughton, and the Panthers used a four-run sixth inning to top Stoughton 4-0. Junior Will Reinecke started the scoring with an RBI bunt single. Junior Austin Adams added an RBI on a fielders choice, while senior Simon Maurice capped the inning with a two-run double. Stoughton never reached third base. Oregon (3-7 overall, 3-6 conference) was only the second team in the Badger South to knock of firstplace Stoughton (8-6 overall, 6-2 conference) this season. If we can keep battling and getting some clutch hits like we did tonight, then we can play with anyone, Connor said. Laski went all seven innings and allowed three hits. He struck out two.

Milton doubleheader
The Panthers hosted Milton in a doubleheader last Thursday, the first game being the final few innings of a game played on April 9. Oregon lost that game 6-3, and it dropped the second game 9-1. In the second game, the Panthers were held to two hits and only one run in the bottom of the seventh. Zach Ragels picked up the loss. He went five innings and allowed one earned run on three hits. He struck out five and walked three.

rival Stoughton was more than the host Panthers could handle Tuesday, falling 12-1 in six innings. Oregon managed just three hits off Vikings ace Sarah Seaton but still managed to leave six runners on base in the loss. It was the same old story, Oregon head coach Mike Derrick said. Were competitive. We just cant get over the hump. The Panthers lost by one run at Stoughton earlier this season. Jeremy Jones

was one of two secured by the Panthers last weekend as Oregon tied Waunakee for fourth place with 79 points. Sun Prairie (142.5) distanced itself from the host Vikings (104) to take the title, while Madison West (80) rounded out the top three. Oregon juniors Ruby Carpenter, Valerie Jones, Jamie Wood and senior Danielle Steinberg held off Sun Prairies 4x400 relay to close out the Stoughton Invitational in first place with a time of (4:12.38). The quartet figured prominently in the Panthers scoring throughout the meet. Jones won the 800-meter run in 2:22.55. She was joined in the top five by Steinberg. Jones (4-10) and Steinberg (4-8) also helped Oregon out in the field events, placing runner-up and sixth overall in the high jump. Wood and Jones posted a pair of top-five finishes in the 400-meter dash. Wood led Jones to

the finish line of the 400 in 1:01.63 before adding another third-place finish in the 200 (27.48). Carpenter added a fifthplace finish in the 300 hurdles (51.65) and placed sixth in the pole vault (8 feet). The Panthers traveled back to Stoughton on Tuesday for a Badger South Conference triple dual, dropping both ends to the Vikings and Fort Atkinson. Two-time defending champion Stoughton posted a 103-34 win over the Panthers, which also fell 84-62 against the Blackhawks. Oregon picked up wins from Steinberg in the 400 (1:03.8) and Wood in the 800 (2:25.8). Jones finished runner-up in the mile (5:41) and 200 (27.1), as did Wood in the long jump (15-2 1/2).

Village of Brooklyn

Former public works director sues village, officials

Unified Newspaper Group

Bonds: Low interests rates help fund projects

Continued from page 1 because pre-2005 borrowing will soon be paid off, and the roughly $114,000 the village was making in payments wont be able to be recaptured in the levy because of a state law passed last year. That means the levy would likely drop sharply, but then the village would have to borrow for projects at a higher interest rate and cause a spike in the levy. Were amortizing debt very quickly, Mann told the board. The goal is to smooth out the debt burden on the village. The most difficult thing for any community to deal with is peaks and valleys along the way. When you have a tax burden that drops and then goes back up, its always difficult to explain why. Another advantage to selling bonds is that the

Main Street parking lot $55,000: Purchase DaneCom radio $56,000: Purchase public works toolcat $37,000: Purchase public works tractor money is flexible and can be used for a variety of projects that village officials think need to be accomplished. That includes resurfacing the parking lot behind South Main Street businesses, possibly reconfiguring that lot, and doing additional mill and overlay projects, plus resurfacing South Main Street and South Burr Oak Avenue from Jefferson Street to the Badfish Creek. The year, the village budgeted $137,000 for mill and overlay on Cledell Street, Cherrywood and Hayler Court. The village spent a total of $362,517 on mill and overlay projects from 2008-12.

The Village of Brooklyn has been sued by the former longtime public works director it fired in December 2010. In a lawsuit filed March 29 in Dane County Circuit Court, Robert M. Anderson alleges that village president Nadine Walsten and village clerk-treasurer Carol Strause sabotaged his attempt last fall to be hired as public works director in the city of Darlington. And the suit claims Walsten damaged Andersons reputation with false, negative public comments about his job performance. Anderson worked 24 years for the village, including more than 20 as its public works director. He was verbally reprimanded by the village Board of Trustees in December 2009 for what Walsten at the time said were disturbing behaviors that undermined the public trust in local government. A year later, the board voted 5-2 to fire Anderson after a village committee claimed he engaged in unprofessional conduct that included fudging time sheets, missing key deadlines for testing village wells, being verbally aggressive toward the village clerk and Walsten and not following bidding

policies. Anderson, however, disputed those claims, as did several supporters who felt Anderson was being unfairly targeted as a result of a personal feud with Walsten. According to a complaint filed April 16 by Andersons attorney, Jessica M. Kramer: Anderson was orally offered the public works director job in Darlington last October by Darlington officials. But the offer was rescinded later that month after Walsten and Strause allegedly told one or more Darlington city council members not to hire him, the complaint alleges. Lori Lubinsky, an attorney representing the village, declined to comment on those specific allegations, citing pending litigation. But in court documents filed April 19, she denied all of Andersons key allegations. Darlington Mayor Dave Breunig told the Observer last week that no one from Brooklyn discouraged Darlington officials from hiring Anderson. He confirmed that Anderson was a finalist for the job, but said attempts to talk to Brooklyn employees about Anderson were met with silence. I tried to make some contact with some employees, he said. They were basically under a gag order not to talk to us.

Breunig said any comments about Anderson by village officials came from past articles of the Oregon Observer. Andersons claim also alleged that Strause told Darlington clerk Phil Risseeuw last October the city should not hire Anderson. Risseeuw and Strause each declined to comment. Anderson is seeking an undisclosed amount in damages, according to the complaint. Citing state law, Kramer declined to say the amount Anderson is seeking. I will say that Mr. Anderson has suffered, at a minimum, loss of income and opportunity as a result of the actions of Ms. Walsten, Ms. Straus, and the Village of Brooklyn, Kramer wrote in an email. Anderson unsuccessfully challenged Walsten in the April 2011 election for village president. The next month, a judge for the states division of unemployment insurance ruled against a village appeal to stop paying $363 a week in unemployment to Anderson. The judge in that ruling found no evidence that Anderson was grossly negligent in his duties or that he engaged in misconduct before his firing.

Lisa and Jeff Arndt pedal up mountains and through desserts to raise money for autism companion dogs.

Arndts: Oregon couple bike

from Calif. to Florida
Continued from page 1 The best experience for me was to finally be able to bike in the mountains and experience 10-mile climbs being surrounded by snowcapped mountains, he recalled. But once we got out of the mountains we experienced the desert, which went on for days. The headwinds were one of the biggest surprises, he added. Riding west to east, you expect to have a tailwind at least half the time. But that wasnt the case. The first three days going up and down the mountains were what I most wanted to experience. Lisa suffered some leg muscle cramping during those first few days, but after that neither of them had any physical problems. Beyond the mountains, the Arndts agreed that greeting and interacting with people they met along the way was a trip highlight. Bubba Barron organized the journey and knew exactly where the group would be spending each night. That included camping in RV parks and other campgrounds most of the time, but also staying in National Guard Armories, schools, churches, a couple of hotels and once in a bed and breakfast. Bubba employed a team of about 10 support staff to assist the riders including a traveling chef and assistant chef who prepared breakfast and dinner each day. The company also did things like setting up and taking down tents, carrying the riders personal items, and establishing stations every 20 25 miles with snacks and water. A staff mechanic serviced the bikes every day, lubricating bike chains and inflating tires. The Arndts said they were overwhelmed with peoples kindness and generosity. Each day wed meet people and talk to them about the ride, Jeff said. It was great to find out what life is like for them, and they were willing to share their stories along with food and water to help us out as much as they could. For Lisa, the entire trip was just amazing, from the people they met to the diversity of scenery along the southern-most part of the U.S. The couple crossed mountain ranges and deserts, and marveled at the lush green landscapes of Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi and Florida.

The trip wasnt all easy riding. Persistent headwinds and camping almost every night got old, as did the long stretches of desert. And there was the occasional motorist who did not want to share the road with cyclists. We all kind of complained about going through New Mexico and west Texas that whole dry area with very little in between but sand and heat, Lisa remembered, quickly adding that despite those conditions, its really a beautiful part of the country. People in cars in Texas were probably the worst, Jeff said. They didnt want to share their roads with us non-taxpaying bikers, but thats probably one of out every 100 people. The cyclists averaged 65 miles a day, but maxed out at 95 miles one day with a tailwind. We had a couple 86-mile days and some under 60, Lisa said. Mostly we had headwinds. That was a challenge, and some days you were so sick of the wind you could hardly stand it. Both struggled to find the words to explain their feelings as they neared the East Coast and the journeys end. It felt like such an accomplishment, and to be there with all these people who had become our friends was amazing, Lisa said. To do that together was something well never experience again. Just achieving our goal was quite awesome, Jeff added.
