Village of Oregon president Steve Staton has played a major role in the bike paths creation. The path is open to users, but signs will be installed
and the area will be landscaped in the coming weeks.

Bike trail nears completion

Unified Newspaper Group

It may be one of the most

scenic 3-mile stretches of
bike trail in the county, and
its ready for you to use.
The Oregon Rotary Bike
Trail is actually 3.4 miles
from its beginning at West
Netherwood Road to its end
at Fish Hatchery Road. The
final two segments of the trail

were paved last week, and

while theres still some landscaping to do and signs to
install, the trail is fully functional.
I just rode it (Monday)
morning, and its great, said
Village President Steve Staton, who introduced the idea
of building it to the Village
Board in 2010.
It took another two years
for the board to finally

approve construction of the

trail, which ultimately cost
$889,000.
The villages share was
roughly $405,000. Other
major funding came from
Dane County, the Town of
Oregon, the Oregon Rotary
Club and American Transmission Company.
The trail begins at Alpine

Before the Village Board decides whether

to grant the Oregon Ice Arena a temporary
license to sell beer, it will try to gauge residents opinions.
The board voted Monday to postpone action
until after it holds a public forum on the matter next month.
Several trustees appeared to have mixed
feelings about the request and agreed with
Jeff Boudreaus suggestion to hold the forum,
which the board scheduled for 5 p.m. Monday,
Aug. 17.
The request stems from a plan to bring
junior hockey to Oregon and concerns about
the arenas financial viability.
Ice arena manager Ben Cowan wants to sell
beer during Wisconsin Whalers games, and
he first met with the Village Board on July 13
to discuss his proposal. He has booked a 22
home-game schedule for the team in Oregon,
beginning Sept. 11. The team had been playing previous seasons at the Hartmeyer Ice
Arena in Madison.
At the July 13 meeting, village officials
considered Cowans request, then came up
with a list of conditions that he would have
to meet in order to be granted the license and
asked village attorney Matt Dregne to draft an
agreement.
But Monday, some board members continued to harbor doubts. Some cited an email sent
by municipal judge Beth Cox, requesting that
it not grant the license because the facility is

circle
Former OHS coach/principal earns award named for his mentor
Anthony Iozzo
Assistant sports editor

When Cal Callaway first met

Americo Mertz Mortorelli, he
was working on his parents dairy
farm in Hayward in December
1959.
He recalls trudging through
the snow after doing his evening
chores and seeing a strange car in
the driveway. Much to his surprise,
a large Italian man was at the dinner table with his mother.
Mortorelli had been invited over

for dinner because Callaways

mother hoped for her son to graduate from college. And when he left
that night, he had persuaded them
that Cal was going to get through
college with his help.
That is what started everything.
From playing for the University
of Wisconsin Superior football
team (then called Superior State
Teachers College) and earning a
bachelor of science degree (1963)
and a masters in educational
administration (1964) to a 33-year
career in the Oregon School District

as a coach, teacher and administrator, Callaway and Mortorellis

lives have now been tied together
with his nomination for the Mertz
Mortorelli Coaching Achievement
Award for the UW-Superior Hall of
Fame, which he traveled from his
home in Tennessee to receive Saturday at a banquet in Superior.
(Mortorelli) is the role model
I tried to emulate throughout my
career in education, Callaway told
the Observer last week. I aspired

6th OWI charge from Oregon
complaint said.
When police asked him to
perform field sobriety test,
he refused, at which point
he was arrested. Wisconsin has an implied consent
law, which states all drivers have, by law, consented
to testing as part of a suspected OWI investigation.
Though drivers can refuse
testing, doing so results in
immediate arrest.
Vike is next scheduled to
appear in court Aug. 3, and
he posted a signature bond
on the condition that he
submit to bail monitoring.
If convicted on the OWI
charge, Vike faces up to six
years in prison and as much
as $10,000 in fines.

According to the criminal complaint filed in Dane

After the responding officer

was able to wake him, the
car began moving forward,
at which point the officer
yelled for him to place it

managed.
When questioned later,
Cleasby told officers hed
had eight or nine beers at a

the criminal complaint.
Creasby was released on a

Treatment vs.
removal decisions
will follow
Scott Girard
Unified Newspaper Group

When a tree-killing beetle

was first found in Madison in
late 2013, it became clear the
insect would inevitably find
its way to Oregon.
While the emerald ash
borer a beetle from East
Asia that eats tissues under
the bark of ash trees hasnt
been confirmed in the village
yet, one local tree expert is
guessing its here already,
and the village is taking steps
to ready for the potential
destruction of its ash trees.
That could mean removing or maintaining as many
as one-third of the villages
trees, but theres no exact
count of the number of ash
trees on village property. So
this fall and winter, Arbor
Systems will be counting and
grading the condition of each
ash tree on village property
including terraces of private
homes and businesses.
The Village Board authorized a contract in May with
Arbor Systems for to grade
and count each ash tree this
fall. It will cost between

$6,000 and $7,500, depending on how many trees there

are and how much time it
takes, said public works
director Mark Below.
Owner Jeff Olson said the
inventory is likely to begin in
October.
Im ecstatic about it,
Olson said. Its going to
help the community decide
what to do.
And its just in time,
Olson added, offering a blunt
assessment of what is ahead.
If you dont treat your
tree, it will die, Olson
said. Once it hits generally trees are all going to die
within two years of discovery.
Treatments for EAB must
be repeated every two years
or so, depending on the product, meaning maintaining a
tree can come at a big cost
$10-12 per diameter inch is
what Olson estimated.
The bottom line is it takes
money, he said.
The companys grading
scale is from 1 to 5, with a
1 being a tree that is in terrible condition and not worth
treating and a 5 being a
healthy tree.
Once the inventory is taken, it will be up to the village
to decide what to treat and
how much to spend. Public
works director Mark Below

said the village is looking to

(Arbor Systems) for advice
on this.
The inventory should be
completed by early winter, giving the village a few
months to decide on treatment before the spring comes
along. Olson said the best
time to treat trees is in May,
June and July.
Olson said owners of trees
on private land in the village have been more and
more proactive about getting
ready for EAB, and many
have kept busy having trees
treated or removed in the
past three years on private
property.
For those who are not sure
if they have an ash tree or
what its condition is, Arbor
Systems employee Chris
Heise recommended contacting a certified arborist to
assess the tree and help make
a decision on how to proceed.
Theres a lot of factors to
play into it if a tree should be
kept, Heise said.
Whatever steps the village takes after its inventory
is complete, Below expects
EAB will have a big impact,
estimating 25 to 30 percent
of the villages trees are ash.
Its going to dramatically
change the appearance of the
village, he said.

Firefighters from Oregon Area Fire/EMS extinguished a shed fire Sunday, July 26, near the intersection of Cusick Parkway
and Netherwood Road.
According to a news
release from the department, crews were dispatched to the fire around
7:32 p.m. The fire was
located in an abandoned
barn about a quarter mile
from the road.
Command immediately called for off-road vehicles to respond because
of the distance from the
road to the building, the
departments news release
read. A small fire was
found in the lower level of
two story barn and quickly extinguished by firefighters with numerous
fire extinguishers.
The fire was put out
within 10 minutes, but
mutual aid was requested
from Fitchburg, Brooklyn
and McFarland departments because of the heat
and distance the fire fighters had to travel to put
the fire out. In total, 13
units from four departments were requested to
the scene. There were
no injuries to civilians
or firefighters during the
operation.
Damage was minimal
and the cause of the fire is
under investigation at this
time.
According to the news
release, all property damage was contained to the
area of origin and there
was no damage to the
structures that were located near the fire.

And after Trustee Jeanne Carpenter explained why she would
not support the request, others also expressed reservations,
including Village President Steve
Staton. In recent years, Staton has
led an effort to change the culture of alcohol use in the village.
Trustee Eric Poole also said people had asked him to vote against
granting the temporary license.

Board reservations
Carpenter said several people
in the community had asked
her to vote against the request,
including two former members
of the ice arena board of directors. She also mentioned Cowans history of alcohol problems:
Hes been given three citations
for driving while intoxicated in
2001, 06 and 07.
The bar should be very high to
be issued a liquor license, Carpenter told the Observer after the
meeting.
Her larger concern has to do
with how the ice arena is used.
She doesnt see a need for alcohol
to keep it afloat.
I think in the communitys
mind, the ice arena is primarily
a youth facility, Carpenter said.
The Whalers are aged 18 to 21,
and I just dont see the wisdom of
serving alcohol at an event where
the kids playing hockey arent
even old enough to drink alcohol
themselves.

In defending his proposal,

Cowan said he would meet the
boards conditions, and that the
arena has hosted alumni hockey
tournaments in the past where
beer was sold without a problem.
Those tournaments were held
over three days and included a
beer tent on the property.
Cowan said the Whalers will
add $40,000 in annual revenue
and help the ice arena to remain
viable. He also said the facility
has never been a youth-only ice
rink.
Trustee Darlene Groenier
spoke in favor of the application.
She said when the organizers

Proposed conditions
1. The premises where alcohol beverages are served and
consumed shall be limited to areas inside the building.
2. The police chief must approve a written plan specifying
where beer will be stored, the manner in which it will be
secured and accessed and the people who will have access.
3. Beer may be sold one hour before and until the end of
Whalers games against league opponents.
4. No beer specials may be used, advertised or promoted.
5. A security plan must be approved by the police chief no
later than two weeks prior to an event where beer is sold.
The plan must include managing the sale and service of beer,
disturbances or disorderly conduct, carry-ins, carry-outs and
service to minors.
6. The license shall expire annually and the Village Board
will have an opportunity to evaluate whether to issue a new
license.
7. No beer is allowed to be stored on premise - it must come
in the day of the game and be gone the next day.
of the arena (including her son,
Jeff) first brought their idea to the
board, the village didnt stand
behind it.
I dont want to see the ice
arena fold, and it might, she
warned. Im afraid were going
to lose it.
Boudreau asked the board to
consider supporting Cowans
application. He said if the facility
was designed for youth hockey,
its failed.
Ben is trying to bring in adults
to keep it going, he said. I
would encourage us to view the
ice arena the way the Alliant Center is used.
Trustee Jerry Bollig and Staton explained the board decided
not to use tax dollars to support
the arena when it was being built
because its numbers dont add
up.
Bollig argued there is no comparison between the two facilities, and said, Im going to have
trouble supporting this.
Cowan said if the board doesnt
approve the license it will inhibit
our opportunity to move forward
and make this a viable facility.
The Whalers are such a huge
positive for us, not only at the
rink but in Oregon, he added.
It brings much needed attention
to our village, people will come
from all around the area to see

Q. Why Prune?
A. Pruning makes trees and shrubs more healthy and makes their

adno=418893-01

photosynthetic factory more efficient. Good pruning is a mixture of

knowledge, skill, science and art. Removing dead wood reduces
the amount of decay entering the tree. Thinning removes crossing
or interfering branches that compete for light. By selecting strong,
well spaced branches, a framework is developed for healthy, future
growth. Each species has a characteristic growth form that can be
accentuated with proper, artful technique.

After the meeting, Carpenter

said the residents of Oregon try
hard to make the community one
of the few villages in the state
that doesnt revolve around alcohol.
Thats very much a part of
our culture, and if you looked at
any of the things weve done in
the past few years, weve tried
very hard to make Oregon not a
community where you need to
have a beer to have a good time,
she said. That was Bens entire
argument in front of us tonight. It
did not resonate with me.
The board held a public hearing on Cowans application at its
July 13 meeting but no one came
to speak at it.
Village administrator Mike
Gracz said Monday the village
would publicize the forum on
its Facebook page and website
in hopes of receiving more public input. The board agreed on
the Aug. 17 date because, if the
application were approved, Cowan would still have time to meet
the conditions laid out in the villages alcohol license agreement.

Trail: Long-term goal is to link up with Badger State Trail

Continued from page 1

Adoring Girl (Kaeli Matula) gets movie star Josephs (Jacob

Berggren) autograph during a recent rehearsal of Joseph and the
Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

Straw Hat Players to present

Joseph and the Amazing
Technicolor Dreamcoat
Instead of traveling through
Israel and Egypt, Joseph
ventures to Hollywood, as
the Oregon Straw Hat Players give a timeless parable a
fresh spin in their production
of Joseph and the Amazing
Technicolor Dreamcoat.
The production re-interprets
the Biblical story of Joseph in
Hollywood during the 1950s.
Joseph is portrayed as a movie
star and the audience watches
his pursuit to fame.
The shows director, Sarah
Karlen, arts and communications pastor at City Church in
Madison and drama director
at Abundant Life Christian
School, directed a production
two years ago at Abundant
Life, but wanted to do a different take this time around.
I choose to take a small
idea and tell it on a larger
scale, she said.
The musical appeared on
Broadway in 1982, where it
ran successfully for almost two
years. Andrew Lloyd Webber, also known for his musical composition in the classic,
Phantom of The Opera, also
composed the score.
Jacob Berggren, who plays
the role of Joseph, has been
acting since the age of five,has
won three Overture Center for
the Arts Tommy Awards. He
also relates to the story and
believes its relevant for him
and others in this day and age,
as the show has made him
reflect on his own principles.

If you go
What: Joseph and The
Amazing Technicolor
Dreamcoat
Where: Oregon High
School Performing Arts
Center, 456 N. Perry Pkwy
When: Aug. 8-15

My dream as an artist is
to connect to and touch other
people with my work, Berggren said.
Joseph is this guy who
has a dream to touch other
people and that is part of my
dream as an artist as well. We
all have dreams and question
how we will pursue these
dreams and deal with lifes
challenges in that pursuit
what I love about Joseph is
his integrity.
The musical runs for one
and a half hours, (shorter than
the average musical) and Karlen said that makes the show
great for families. The cast
consists of 70 actors, 30 of
which are children.
We can all understand
what it is like to have a dream
and to pursue that dream,
she said. This story shows if
we do that with integrity, we
can also help people when
we reach that dream. Its a
joyous, upbeat and freeing
show.

Initial idea
Staton gave credit for the
initial trail route to Brian
Munson of Vandewalle and
Associates. In 2009, village officials were working on master planning for
its bike paths and Munson
spotted an area for a trail
that was mostly on public
lands.
Hes the one who
planned the initial trail,
Staton said.
He also credited Below
for organizing and overseeing the construction.
When Staton introduced
the idea at a Village Board
meeting in 2010, some
trustees were skeptical
and felt the village should
spend the money on streets
instead. But he took his

lot more cyclists in
Oregon.
Steve Staton
time, never forcing the
issue, and village administrator Mike Gracz looked
for grants and other funding sources.
Staton got a boost from
the community for the
project during strategic
planning sessions in 2010,
when some 70 percent of
residents responding to a
survey said they agreed
or strongly agreed that
developing more bike and
pedestrian trails was a priority.
The Oregon Rotary Club
also backed the project
and promised to contribute
$10,000 to its construction.
The strategic plan
showed that people strongly supported this happening, and I think this meets
the wishes and needs of
our residents, Staton said
Tuesday.
When the Village Board
finally approved the
trail concept in September 2012, Gracz warned
that building a bike trail
can be more complicated
than building a new road
words that proved prophetic.
Initially, the board
approved the less costly
approach of building the
trail with a crushed limestone surface. But late last
year, the board decided to

Final touches
Along with signs and
landscaping, trail plans call
for the construction of a
couple of observation platforms.
Staton said the funding for the decks and their
exact locations, havent
been determined. But he
expects one will overlook
Lake Barney, a popular
spot for migrating birds
and waterfowl.

A long-term goal is to
connect the path from Fish
Hatchery Road to the Badger State Trail near Purcell
Road, which heads north to
Madison and south to the
Wisconsin-Illinois border.
In addition to cyclists,
the path could also serve
people walking for a view
of scenic wetlands northwest of the village.
The residents told us
they want access to Madison via a bike trail, Staton said. I think when this
trail gets put through to the
Badger State Trail it will
be the brightest thing on
the horizon for continued
economic development
downtown.
He noted that Dane
County has helped us all
the way through the project with grant funding, and
they also have blacktopped
from County M south to the
bike trail. When they paint
it, there will be a 4-foot
bike lane along the side of
Fish Hatchery extending all
the way to Madison, Staton
said.
I wouldnt recommend
that for young kids or just
recreational bikers, but for
avid cyclists they can now
ride from Oregon to Madison on blacktop all the
way, he added. I think
fairly quickly well see a
lot more cyclists in Oregon.

pave the entire length with

asphalt.
The plan initially called
for building a boardwalk
over wetlands near Swan
Pond and Lake Barney, but
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service informed the village
in April 2013 it would not
allow the boardwalk.
Village officials then
began looking for alternatives and considered
using its power of eminent
domain to gain access to
the Keller Alpine Dairy
property, which would
allow the path to go around
the wetlands.
In October 2013, Lisa
Robbins, the niece of Dora
and Betty Keller, owners of
the Alpine Dairy on West
Netherwood Road, agreed
to allow the village to
build part of the trail across
the Keller property, in
what her attorney called a
friendly eminent domain.

Lake Barney, Swan Pond

and the extensive wetlands

side.
The village began building the trail last fall and
completed the first 1.8mile segment in November.
Construction of the final
two segments began in
May, and a ribbon cutting
is scheduled for 10 a.m.
Aug. 29.
Public works director
Mark Below said the trail is
longer than others built in
Oregon and was more complicated because it required
easements and permission
from several private landowners and public entities.
It was a fun project, he
said. It was hard to envision what it would look
like when we first began
talking about it and planning it. The brush was so
thick you could hardly
walk through it.
Its built on some of the
most scenic land around,
he added. You go past
Lake Barney, and then if
you get off the trail and
walk up to the top of the
hill, the view is just magnificent.
He noted it was one of
Statons pet projects.

Envy is a Bitter Root

Perhaps nothing tears at the social fabric like envy.

Comparing ourselves to others will invariably make us feel
either arrogant and superior or bitter and inferior.
When we compare favorably to others were likely to feel
superior and therefore risk being arrogant, while comparing unfavorably to others is likely to make us bitter and feel
dejected. Life is not a contest, and while it is only normal
to want to know how we did on the test relative to other
students, or how much we earn relative to our colleagues,
invariably we are not going to be at the top of every list, or
perhaps even at the top of any list.
Most of us are going to be bunched up around the middle, and thats okay. Envy is not only a root of bitterness at
work and in school, but often also within families.
Sibling rivalry is natural, and competition can be a good
thing, but many families have lasting scars from sibling
rivalry that was taken too far, and envious feelings often
outlast childhood. So put a check on your envy by avoiding
unhealthy comparisons. Youre fine just the way you are.
Christopher Simon
For you created by innmost being; you knit me together in
my mothers womb, I praise you because I am fearfully and
wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that
full well.

However, a 4-3 loss in 11 innings
at Ridgeway (4-9) Friday and a 15-4
loss in seven inning against Monroe
(4-9) Sunday ended Oregons (4-9)
Western Section Sunday League
season earlier than expected.
Ridgeway, which defeated Oregon twice and Monroe once in
head-to-head matchups, won the
tiebreaker for the eighth and final
playoff spot in the Western Section.

Oregons Eric Engler pitches against Monroe Sunday at Oregon High School in the
Western Section Sunday League regular season finale. The Orioles, which needed
just one win to clinch a playoff spot in the final two games of the season, fell 15-4
in seven innings and were eliminated from the playoff race.
Ridgeway (4-9) won both head-to-head matchups against Oregon (4-9) and won
the head-to-head matchup with Monroe (4-9) to earn the No. 8 seed.

12 July 30, 2015 Oregon Observer

Callaway: Spent 33 years in Oregon as a teacher, coach and administrator
to make a positive difference in the lives Ive been
fortunate enough to touch
in teaching/coaching and in
positions of leadership and
responsibility I have held.
The Oregon School District
provided that platform on
which to pursue my goal of
making a positive difference.
Life sometimes has a funny way of connecting events,
and this award would bring
things in full circle for me.

Career-making visit
Callaway was the oldest
of eight children and attended Hayward High School
from 1954-58, where he was
named as an All-State football player with varsity letters in football, baseball, basketball and track and field.
While helping out on his
parents farm and going to
school, Callaway earned
interest from several colleges
hoping to recruit him.
He thought he was headed
to the University of Wisconsin-Madison, but when
a scholarship failed to materialize, he was later given an
opportunity by St. Thomas
College in St. Paul, Minn.
However, after enrolling
in pre-veterinary science and
playing football and basketball as a freshman, Callaway
learned of a hunting tragedy involving his next-oldest
brother Dale.
In the late summer of 1959,
Callaway learned Dale had
been shot and killed, which
prompted him to return home
and resume responsibilities
on the farm.
Then came the visit that
would change not only Callaways life, but the lives of
several others, as well.
I had to go back home
and help my parents save the
farm, Callaway said. Little
did I know, my mother was
determined that I go back to
school. We had a lot of
discussions and decisions,
and ultimately, I enrolled
back in school in 1960.
That year, he was a starting fullback/running back at
Superior, and he played three
seasons being named an
All-Wisconsin State College
Conference fullback in 1961
and an honorable mention in
1962.
The 1962 Yellowjackets finished 7-1-1 in the
WSCC and are regarded
as the best team in school
history a distinction that
cant be topped now that

Life sometimes has a funny way of

connecting events, and this award would
bring things in full circle for me.
Cal Callaway
former Oregon High School football coach
UW-Superior discontinued
its football program this year.
Callaway was supposed to
be a graduate assistant coach
for the Superior Cathedral
High School football team in
1963 while working on his
masters, but
he and Merv
Schaefer
were promoted to co-head
coaches after
Mortorelli
resigned.
After Cal- Callaway
laway earned
his masters,
he spent a year as a biology/general science teacher,
head track and field coach,
assistant football coach and
freshman basketball coach
at Elkhorn High School in
1964 before being recruited
to Oregon in 1965, a place he
remained for 33 years.

Coaching success
His first job in the district
was Oregon Senior High
Schools head football coach
and biology teacher.
I was fortunate, Callaway said. At the time I
thought I was ready, but I
really wasnt. I was pretty
inexperienced I was succeeding Irv Kissling, who
had just come off a championship season, so they really
took a chance.
And I didnt know at that
time what an opportunity that
was. I didnt fully appreciate
it because I never had to look
for another job.
Callaway was promoted to assistant principal in
1968 after three years but
remained the football coach
for nearly the entire time he
held that position, something
rarely even allowed anymore
by school districts.
From 1965-1983, Callaway compiled a 108-46-10
record as a football coach,
winning 78 percent of his
games. The Panthers won
a combined 10 conference
titles in the Madison Suburban and Badger Conferences
during that time, and they
added runner-up (1978) and
fourth-place (1980) finishes
in the WIAA state playoffs.
But it did take a few years

When we found
Sienna Crest, it was
as if everything fell
into place. It was
home, it was perfect.
Now when we see
Grandma, we get to
just enjoy her.

Callaway started to coach
those successful teams. The
first undefeated season under
Callaway was in 1970.
Not being successful right
away, I had to step back and
really analyze what I needed
and what I had to do differently to become successful,
Callaway said. I had all the
talent in the student-athletes.
They were fantastic people
to work with. I just had to get
my stuff together, and I had
to come up with a group of
assistant coaches that were
good teachers and were able
to put into practice the kinds
of things that we believed in
that we wanted to see represented on the football field
with our athletes.
Callaway was also interim
head coach for the wrestling team in 1966 the year
heavyweight Greg Trosper
became the first state qualifier in school history and
the interim head coach of the
girls track and field team in
1971 when the team won
sectionals and finished runner-up at state.
Callaway also served as
the secretary-treasurer/executive secretary for the Wisconsin High School Football
Coaches Association from
1975-1989. As one of the
founding members of the
WFCA, Callaway was on
the organizing committee for
the Annual Wisconsin High
School Football Clinic and
also served on the advisory
committee to the Wisconsin
Interscholastic Athletic Association helping to establish
the present day football playoff procedure and bringing
the WIAA and University of
Wisconsin together to make
Camp Randall Stadium the
site for the state championship football games.
In 1989, Callaway was
inducted into the Wisconsin
High School Football Coaches Hall of Fame, and he later
received the Distinguished
Service Award from the
National High School Coaches Association in 1990. Callaway was then inducted into
the NHSCA Hall of Fame in
2006.
(All of these awards) feel
different, Callaway said.
One goes back prior to
having a career in coaching
and education, and the other
ones are because of coaching
and leadership in the State
Coaches Association.

school district and on local

sports long after his football
coaching career ended.
He was asked to step down
as head football coach to
commit more time into being
an administrator, later being
promoted to OHS principal
in 1989. He held that position
until 1991, when he became
the districts director of curriculum and instruction.
Callaway also organized
the Oregon Community
Summer Recreation program
in 1966, the Oregon Athletic
Booster Club in 1975 and the
Oregon Youth Football program in 1979.
In addition, he was a member of the Oregon Optimist
Club and a charter member
of both the Oregon-Brooklyn Jaycees and the Oregon
Emergency Medical Services.
And those accomplishments dont even include
how important Callaway was
to those he knew during his
time in Oregon.
I went into coaching and
teaching, ultimately, because
I wanted to be a positive
influence on young people
the way my coaches were for
me, Callaway said. Having successful seasons and
winning while they were
in high school was exciting and thrilling, but if that
is all it is, you could end up
with just a bunch of inflated
egos if it doesnt transfer
into the lessons young athletes learn about themselves
in how to organize their lives
to achieve goals and be productive.

Support for the award

From former players to

former co-workers, Callaway received much support to receive the Mertz
Mortorelli award, including
being nominated by former
Community man

Among the many wellknown Oregonians who

wrote recommendation letters about Callaways career
were Dave Ahrens, a former OHS football player
and retired NFL linebacker;
Kevin Bavery, a former
OHS football player and
now a head coach/teacher
at Middleton High School;
Jim Snow, OSD employee
and former OHS football
player; Dr. Linda Barrows,
retired OSD superintendent;
and Steve Staton, retired
OHS athletic director/middle
school principal and current
Village Board president..
Bavery, who was a freshman at OHS in 1971, was
the starting quarterback for
the varsity football team for
three seasons, learning much
of what he uses today as a
head coach/teacher.
For Coach Callaway,
the moniker becomes a title
because for him it is not a
nickname but rather an identity, Bavery wrote. Yes,
a coach trains athletes, but
that is not my definition of
a coach. My coach is a mentor. Wise, trusted, influential, loyal. My coach leads
by example. My coach wants
me to succeed. My coach
motivates. My coach values
others. My coach has integrity. My coach is respected.
My coach is admired. My
coach is accessible, supportive, constructive, insightful,
knowledgeable and inspirational. My coach is Coach
Callaway.
Barrows, who worked
with Callaway as superintendent from 1988 until his
retirement in 1998, had a
similar viewpoint as a colleague, regarding Callaway
as an exceptional educational leader.
Perhaps the trait that I
have always admired most
is the ability to develop
people, Barrows wrote.
That ability begins with
a deep sense of respect for
each individual with whom
he works and extends to the
acumen to assess each persons strengths and needs,
the understanding of what
skills need to be cultivated
in that individual to ensure
growth, the aptitude to break
those skills into teachable
units and the insight to provide encouragement and
motivations as needed.
Cal has consistently
demonstrated this ability to
develop people in his coaching life, his teaching jobs and
his administrative roles.

Staton who is serving his fifth term as Village

Board President of Oregon
worked with him from 19781987, while Callaway was
an OHS assistant principal
and director of pupil transportation.
Later, Staton was the principal of the Oregon Junior
High School while Callaway
was the principal at OHS.
And just like Dr. Barrows
and other supporters, Staton
regards Callaway as one of
the best he ever worked with
during his 36-year career.
There are two or three
who might have been as
effective as Cal, but there are
none better, Staton wrote.
Cal was an outstanding
leader who was a team player, compassionate, honest,
hard-working, practical and
innovative. He was respectful, caring, loyal and fully
committed to the success of
all students and colleagues.
For Callaway, the words
from all of his former players/co-workers is what
makes the process of being
nominated for the Mertz
Mortorelli award that much
more special.
That was one of the best
parts of this whole process,
to talk and catch up with
them and see how well they
are doing, Callaway said.

Quiet retirement
Callaway retired in 1998
and received a Merit Certificate from the State of
Wisconsin Department of
Public Instruction.
Since retiring, Callaway
has moved to Madisonville,
Tenn., with his wife, Peggy,
and enjoys watching mountain sunsets and planting
wildflowers on his property. He is also involved in
his communitys housing
development committee.
But even as he enjoys his
retirement time, Callaway
said he still thinks about
and owes everything to the
community of Oregon and
the Oregon School District,
the place that took a chance
on him a chance that several are forever grateful for.
I have a lot of memories
and history here, Callaway said. Being here at the
time, we were challenged
to reshape our program to
meet the new standards
and higher levels of student
achievement accountability
that is a testament in and
of itself for this community.
We are proud of what we
did.
