A special consultant
has been hired to run the
Oregon Police Department.
With police chief Doug
Pettit on personal leave
indefinitely, the Village
Board Monday authorized
the village to hire Dale
Burke, a retired administrator who worked for the
University of WisconsinMadison police department for more than 31
years. Burke began serving as the director of law
enforcement for Oregon
Police Department immediately.
The move was discussed
in closed session, and the
board approved the motion
without discussion.
Burkes contract with
the village is open-ended
and will depend on the
status of Pettits leave of
absence, said Village President Steve Staton.
No village officials have
been able to confirm on
the record the reason for
Pettits absence or how
long it is expected to last.

SETH JOVAAG
Observer Correspondent

When California Chrome attempts

Saturday to win the Belmont Stakes
and capture the first Triple Crown in
36 years, you can bet Oregon resident
Karen Wiechers will be watching.
After all, she was there from the
beginning.
On Feb. 18, 2011, Wiechers was
working at Harris Farms in California, home to the famed thoroughbred
that won the Kentucky Derby on May
3 and the Preakness Stakes two weeks
later.
Just before noon that day, Wiechers
noticed a mare, Love the Chase, was
in labor. Following protocol, Wiechers led the horse into one of the facilitys eight foaling stalls and, working
alone, helped birth the future champion on a bed of thick straw.
Named for his white markings on
his nose and legs that horseracing
fans call chrome, the new foal was
a beauty, Wiechers said.
When he came out, I remember
saying, Look at the chrome on that
baby. I said, If he doesnt make it to
the racetrack, at least hell be beautiful, she recalled.
Well, he made it to the racetrack.

Karen Wiechers signature on a Foaling

report from Harris Farms.

And Wiechers, an equine lover

since she was a kid, is now a part of
horseracing history.
When I was working (at Harris)
we all thought, Well, we never know,
one of these could turn into a really
big time racehorse, she said. They
were just baby thoroughbreds to me. I
had no idea that I was taking care of a
future Derby winner.

Wanted to be around them

For Wiechers, California Chromes
birth was, at the time, somewhat

routine. She was nearly two months

into a six-month-long stint at Harris, where she worked a seasonal job
of tending to mares and their newborns. During her time there, she and
a handful of specialized staff helped
birth over 200 foals.
But Wiechers road there was anything but routine.
Born and raised in Racine, Wiechers, 61, grew up as the kid always
ready to rescue stray cats or dogs. She
loved animals, but especially horses.
I was just born with it, she said.
I just thought they were the most
beautiful, graceful animals Id ever
seen. And I just wanted to be around
them.
By age 11, she started taking riding
lessons. At age 16, instead of getting
a car, her dad bought her a horse.
Wiechers rode and competed with
that horse and then another through
high school, and she even brought her
second horse with her to college in
Missouri.

Car stories
A passion for old cars could be felt at Cruizin for a Cure Saturday as visitors observed the exhibited meticulously maintained and restored antique cars at the annual event such as the light blue 1957 Chevrolet
Belair.
But a particular wonderful story could be heard about the yellow 1978 Manza. In this photo, Larry Mani tells 1962 Ford Fairlane owners Marty and Martha Long the story of his car. He bought it new in 1978,
but unfortunately sold it later. He missed his car until eight years ago, when his brother Lenny Mani (shown in the photo with his red 1969 Plymouth Roadrunner) discovered the car by accident and subsequently Larrys son bought it back and gave it to his father as a surprise retirement gift.

OHS: Ready to go

Pump house to become a welcome center

Plan still needs state
approval
BILL LIVICK
Unified Newspaper Group

The historic water tower

pump house in downtown
Oregon will eventually
become a welcome center.
The Village Board unanimously approved the idea
Monday, after the villages
Historic Preservation Commission endorsed it last
week.
That is particularly good
news to village resident
Randy Glysch, whos been
leading an effort to restore
the small building that was
built in 1899 and had been
largely neglected since it
fell out of use in 1981.
The pump house and the
water tower it was meant
to serve are both on the

National and State Register

of Historic Places.
Glysch told the board
Monday that in addition to
approval by Historic Preservation and the Village
Board, the State Historical Society must approve
any uses or changes to the
building. Glysch said the
state organization even has
authority over the lawn and
landscaping on the pump
house grounds.
Along with finally determining a use for the building, the board on Monday
approved Glyschs plan for:
tuck-pointing the outside walls of the building
cleaning its exterior
brick
installing outdoor lighting
repainting the trim
replacing concrete slabs
around the building and
gutters
installing walkway

pavers, which will be sold

as a way to raise funds for
the project.
I want to see it used,
Glysch told the board Monday. Its important that it
becomes something.
He noted that a grant
he applied for through
the Dane County Cultural
Affairs Commission had
been denied because the
building did not yet have a
specific purpose or use.
They said you have a lot
of great ideas, but we need
to know what it will be,
Glysch said. The good
thing about the county is
you can apply more than
once.
Village administrator
Mike Gracz said the details
have yet to be worked out,
but the Oregon Area Chamber of Commerce will manage the welcome center.
Chamber executive director Judy Knutson told the

Oregon Observer

Continued from page 1

board shed met with representatives from the Oregon

Senior Center and there
are volunteers who would
love to help staff it. Not
every week, but whenever
theres something big going
on in the village, like the
International Soccer Tournament.
Glysch began expressing
interest in the pump house
shortly after moving here
a year ago. He organized
a Friends of the Historic
Water Tower group, began
soliciting donations and
organizing other fundraising efforts, and secured a
seat on the Historic Preservation Commission.
A water tower restoration
fund had a total of $3,300
a year ago. Now, the fund
is up to almost $13,000,
Glysch said. His long-term
goal is to raise $40,000 for
the project.

Madison Klonsinski, vicepresident Regan Pauls, student council president Jessica

Meyers said the Class of
2014 has represented Oregon
with class and pride in many
ways.
We are excited to have
each graduate take what they
have learned and developed to
the next step in their individual journeys, she said.

Village of Oregon

Board agrees to seek solution to restaurants water problem

BILL LIVICK
Unified Newspaper Group

The Village Board Monday voted to direct staff

to remove sidewalk at
Masons on Main restaurant
to determine how water is
seeping into the buildings
basement.
Owners Jerry and Bonnie
Thiel discovered the problem after renovating a basement room in December
and turning it into a celebration room.
At its last meeting on
May 19, the board authorized the village to have
an engineer meet with the
Thiels and assess the situation.
The engineer, Kevin
Lord, of MSA Professional
Services, is saying based
on a one-time visit that
theres not a problem, village administrator Mike
Gracz said during Mondays meeting.
However, the Thiels are
certain there is a problem
and believe it stems from
when the village renovated
the downtown in 2008.

It appears that the sidewalk was raised to the

point where it required the
metal plates (attached to the
buildings at 113 and 119
S. Main St.) to be lifted as
well, thus causing the pitch
of the plates to go toward
the buildings, the Thiels
wrote in an email to village
officials. We are experiencing water on rainfalls in
both buildings.
After more than an hour
of discussion, the board
voted 5-1 to remove the
sidewalk in front of the
buildings and attempt to
resolve the issue.
Village President Steve
Staton joined trustees
Jeanne Carpenter, Jerry
Bollig, Darlene Groenier
and Jeff Boudreau in voting in favor of Boudreaus
motion to authorize staff
to remove the sidewalk,
evaluate the situation and
determine the next step.
Trustee Eric Poole cast the
only vote against taking the
action. Trustee Doug Brethauer was absent from the
meeting.
Poole argued that the
building belongs to the
Thiels and the problem is
their responsibility to fix.
We had the engineer
look at it and he said its
not a problem, Poole said.

Why should we take your

word over his?
But the rest of the board
disagreed.
Carpenter said the Thiels
had acted in good faith
and that the village should
do the same.
Boudreau commented
that he favored the board
being a friend to the business community.
Lets take care of this,
he said.
Bollig noted that another
business on South Main
Street, Peaceful Heart, also
had water problems in its
basement following the
2008 construction.
Discussions about the
problem went round and
round until we opened it
up, and then we saw the
problem right away, Bollig recalled. I would be
in favor of opening it (the
sidewalk in front of the
Thiels buildings) up.
On Tuesday, Jerry Thiel
told the Observer that the
previous owner of the former Masonic Temple, built
in 1898, had installed an
elaborate 110-foot rain gutter system in the basement
that caught leaking water.
Thiel removed it in order
to renovate the basement
and did extensive waterproofing, but water leaks

into the building regardless,

especially at times when the
wind is blowing from a particular direction.
Time is of the essence,
Thiel said. My big concern is that if its not taken
care of right now, 500-plusyear-old white pine timber thats in there will be
ruined. And if that goes,
thats a major support of the
building. Those timbers are
so dry that with a little bit
of moisture, theyre going
to absorb it and start rotting
real quick.
Thiel added, Were
probably going to end up
replacing the wood floor in
the celebration room and
probably part of the ceiling.
Public works director
Mark Below said on Tuesday hes not sure when his
staff will begin to remove
the sidewalk, nor whether
his staff or an independent
contractor would be hired
to replace the sidewalk
once the work is done.

Letters to the editor

Quality physical education is important

My Name is Mitch Wall. I am
a sophomore at Oregon High
School. I am writing to you to
tell you the importance of quality
physical education.
Personally, I can tell my choice
to be physically active has already
shaped who I am today.
The first reason why quality PE
is important is that it teaches a
good work ethic that carries over
into other aspects of life. I came
into high school with a less than
perfect work ethic, I wanted to fix
it, but I didnt know how to motivate myself. The answer to this
question came to when I was in
gym class.
Because I play football, I needed to also join a more high intensity gym class called functional
performance training. Classes
like this should be treated as a
benchmark for all PE classes, it
focuses on strength, speed, agility and overall fitness. This class
was not easy; you pushed yourself

to your limits every time you were

in there. There I realized that you
can take pride in work and happiness from getting things done.
And because of that quality PE
class, my work ethic in every
aspect of my life has changed dramatically.
The second reason why quality PE is important is because,
obviously, it helps your physical
health a lot.
In Wisconsin more than 27%
of adults are obese. If the kids of
today are given a much higher
quality PE experience, then many
of them can learn to avoid a future
of less than optimal health.
I hope you join with me in getting the message out that quality
PE is very important. Feel free to
write back if you too think this is
an important issue.

Thanks to crew for clearing street

I would like to congratulate the
Oregon maintenance crew on the
fine job they did at our house last
Friday.
About 4 a.m., I heard some
noise outside but nothing more so
I went back to sleep. Upon waking
and able to look out the bedroom
window, I saw that one of our oak
trees very large branches had

broken off and fallen on the sidewalk, berm and into the street.
A call to the village brought
Gary Disch and crew to saw, chip,
remove large sections and clean
up.
Nice job guys!

Dairy farmers challenges

deserve our appreciation

rom October 2013 to April

2014, the Oregon area
went almost 200 days
without the temperature rising
above 70 degrees.
Needless to say, it was the
kind of brutally cold winter we
havent seen for quite some
time.
Our daily lives were challenged with these extreme
conditions and many days were
miserable just
trying to do
normal, everyday activities.
I think we can
all relate to
the amusing
Johnsonville
Brats ad that
highlights our
Martin
un-proud
moments this
past winter: I knocked the head
off my neighbors snowman
because I thought it was mocking me.
As bad as it was, it could have
been worse for those of us who
were able to do our jobs indoors
and protected from the brutal
cold. Other workers were not so
fortunate.
We must appreciate and thank
all of the municipal workers
and service technicians who
had to deal with water main
breaks, electrical outages, furnace repairs, clearing snow and
ice, etc. Theyre the reasons our
daily lives could proceed as normally as possible.
But as we begin June Dairy
Month and put the cold behind
us, we also need to thank and
appreciate the 11,000 Wisconsin
dairy farms for the challenges
and extra workload they endured
this past winter.
Most of us were able to make
the necessary preparations for
our homes and pets ahead of
winter weather events. For my
family of five, we could easily
get to the grocery or hardware
store to stock up on the necessities.
But while farmers can also
prepare for bad weather, it
becomes more challenging when
theyre also responsible for a
barn full of animals and a team
of employees.
Farmers dont have snow

days. They cant close the business for a day or two until conditions improve.
Livestock must be fed,
watered and provided clean and
dry bedding every day no matter what the weather conditions
are. And dairy cows need to
be milked, equipment must be
maintained and employees need
to be provided a safe working
environment.
All of this becomes much
more difficult when the mercury drops well below zero.
Extreme cold affected equipment, animals and employees.
The reality is that, while the rest
of us stayed indoors as much as
possible, it took farm employees
twice as much time to get their
daily work done.
One farmer told me, The
colder the temperatures, the longer the work days are.
So farmers actually had to
spend more time outside to deal
with increased challenges of
frozen feed, waterers, equipment
and employees. I know a lot of
people who said it was too cold
to walk the dog. Imagine having
to care for 500 animals in those
conditions.
Caring for baby calves is
especially important and challenging in extreme weather, as
well.
Many modern dairy farms
have great calf barns or hutches
that work quite well in temperatures between 10 and 90
degrees. Normally, calves are
fed milk twice per day. But
when it gets cold, baby calves
burn more energy to try to stay
warm, so consequently they
need to be fed more feed more
often. In addition, many farmers
provide calf jackets for an extra
layer of insulation.
Many of us are familiar with
the upright silos standing next
to barns throughout rural Wisconsin. They make for a good
picture, but these structures
were very challenging in cold
weather.
In many cases, stored feed
froze and could not be accessed.
That meant the farmer needed
to quickly source and purchase
alternative feeds to continue
feeding the animals until feed
thawed once again. This adds to

the costs and time demands.

As temperatures warm and
rural landscapes green, it is
nice to see animals roaming on
pasture. But think of what that
picture would have looked like
this winter and think about the
animals welfare if they had to
endure that severe cold.
Pasture-based systems can be
great during the more moderate
months of the year, but they can
be deadly during severe weather
events. Ranchers in South Dakota experienced that firsthand last
October when they were caught
in an early blizzard resulting in
catastrophic losses. That is why
many farms have modern facilities designed to provide fresh
air, opportunity for movement,
continuous access to fresh feed
and water and protection from
both the cold winter and hot
summer.
The winter was by no means
a cakewalk for those of us who
dont live on farms. Many of us
had to deal with frozen pipes
and other problems. But we
could also go to our local stores
to buy water until the water lines
were fixed. On farms, you had
no choice but to immediately fix
the water lines so animals could
have access to water. Thats
costly, time-consuming and
labor-intensive.
For June Dairy Month, lets
pause to appreciate the hard
work, extra expenses and long
hours farmers invested to care
for their animals this past winter
and provide food for our families. As they were on call 24/7,
this extra work led to a lot of
extra stress and lot of tired farmers. Regardless, as we shopped
at grocery stores this winter,
we still had no shortage of food
choices.
As we celebrate our states
signature industry and enjoy all
of our great dairy products, lets
also make sure we thank those
who work hard every day in
all conditions to produce the
foods we so enjoy.

Brooklyn resident with 25 years

With this years bitter

cold winter and cool start to
spring still fresh in memory,
summer seems to be sneaking up on us this year.
All the same, summer will
be here later this month, and
with the pending change in
season comes a wealth of
new activities around Oregon, beginning with the summer reading program kickoff week, June 14.
Registration for programs
for the youngest to the oldest
and everyone in between will
start June 9, with programming continuing throughout
the summer. Oregon Public Library director Susan
Santner said during kickoff week, library users will
have a change to win $10 in
Chamber Bucks, good at area
businesses.

Police: Investigation
the Rose Bowl with the
UW Football Team. And
he served as Emergency
Operations Center manager at the UW during
President Barack Obamas
campaign appearance in
the fall of 2012.
Burke will earn
$1,846.15 per week during
the time he works for the
village. His contract with
the village as a special
consultant is at will and
may be terminated by
himself or by the Village
Board at any time and for
any reason or no reason,
according to a clause in
the contract.
Through my limited
interaction with Chief
Burke, Ive been very
impressed and I think that
our officers, our command
staff and the public will
appreciate his leadership
during the time that hes
here, Staton said. Reading through his resume, he
has some excellent experience and that will serve
him well while hes here.

The library has a new

reading program for babies
and toddlers through age 3,
called the Rubber Ducky
Club. Santner said the
group will help build early
literacy skills by encouraging
a love of language of books.
Studies have shown that
babies, toddlers and preschoolers with an environment rich in sounds, letters
and listening books enter
school ready to learn, she
said.
The group will focus on
six early literacy skills: I hear
words, I like books, I know
letters, I see words, I know
words and I can tell a story.
For every activity sheet
turned in, the Friends of the
Oregon Library will donate
ten cents to the Oregon/
Brooklyn Food Pantry.
For kids ages 4-11, Fizz,
Boom, Read! provides a
chance to complete an activity log for prizes, including

Summer reading

Members of the Oregon Police Department are

being investigated by village officials as well as
a state agency, according to sources who would
talk with the Observer only on the condition that
their identities not be revealed.
The board has been discussing potential
disciplinary actions in meetings closed to the
public for the past few months. The agenda
from Mondays Village Board meeting included
a closed-session notice that the board would
discuss the investigation of charges against
specific persons and consider a personnel
medical issue and scope of service during leave.
Village President Steve Staton and
administrator Mike Gracz declined to comment.
The Village Boards ethics rules do not allow
officials to reveal details of closed-session
discussions.

In an official statement,
Staton said the village
respects his decision and
his privacy.
Pettit has been Oregons
chief of police for more
than 29 years and is the
states longest-serving
police chief.
Staton told the Observer
that the village had begun
to seek someone to lead
the police department in
Pettits absence just in
the last few days.
Burke retired from
the UW-Madison police
department in December
2010 and has since served
as a special investigator for the UW-Madison
Dean of Students office.
He also worked as interim
police chief in the Village
of Clinton from May to
December 2013.
In addition, Burke was
hired by UW Chancellor
David Ward to conduct
an independent investigation into the behavior of a
UW Athletic Department
employee during a trip to

No summertime blues here

Are You All In?

The expression all in refers to wagering ones entire stake
in poker, and thus has the connotation of being entirely
committed to ones hand, or by extension, to whatever one
is doing. One could commit oneself entirely to a business
proposition by investing all of ones savings, for instance.
Committing yourself to God is a lot like declaring that you
are all in. That is, we cant play half of our stake or only
invest half of our resources in the kingdom of heaven. We
must be completely committed to the spiritual life, wholeheartedly and single-mindedly giving our lives over to God.
Anything else and you just arent all in.
- Christopher Simon via Metro News Service
With my whole heart I seek you; let me not wander from
your commandments!

Town of Rutland

Residents to weigh in on tower tiff

Seth Jovaag

If you go

Unified Newspaper Group

For the second time in

three years, Town of Rutland officials next week
will vote on a controversial
proposal to erect a radio
tower between Oregon and
Stoughton.
Both sides of the debate
claim to have state law
on their side, which could
make for a tense June 12
public hearing at Town
Hall, when residents can
weigh in on the 486-foot
tower proposed by Tomahbased Magnum Communications.
The town board and plan
commission are expected
to vote on the proposal following the hearing.
Magnum has tried for
years to build the tower
inside a 15.5-acre patch of
farmland near Old Stage
Road owned by siblings and
long-time farmers David
Soldwedel and Sue Wollin.

What: Public hearing

for Town of Rutland
Topic: The application
to build a radio tower in
the Town of Rutland
When: 6:30 p.m.
Thursday, June 12
Where: Town Hall, 785
Center Rd.
More info: town.rutland.wi.us
The town board denied the
proposal in 2011, siding
with opponents who said
the towers size and lights
would mar the rural landscape and reduce nearby
property values. The Dane
County Board later backed
the towns decision.
Magnum appealed, only
to have a Dane County
judge uphold the towns
decision last September.
The company reapplied
with Rutland in February,

citing a 2013 state law

change that prohibits
municipalities from denying broadcast towers unless
the structures would harm
public health or safety.
The tower would service
FM channel 95.9 WBKY,
currently in Portage. Proponents of the tower including many municipal and
school leaders in Stoughton and Oregon have said
a local radio station could
improve communication
during emergencies and
air broadcasts of local high
school sports.
Last month, an engineers report concluded
the towers location and
size are appropriate, the
station would serve the
public interest, and the
tower could host other cell
phone or wireless companies transmission devices,
thus reducing the need for
more towers elsewhere. The
report - paid for by Magnum but conducted by an
independent firm selected

a separate letter argued the

towers impact on the rural
landscape would be minimal compared to recently
arrived residents who built
their big new houses that
have trashed farm land,
displaced wildlife, and
increased traffic.
In her April 25 letter,
Polakowski also said the
potential of ice falling from
the tower poses a safety
hazard. In rebuttal, Magnum solicited statements
from city of Portage and
Sauk and Columbia County officials saying towers there have never posed
safety concerns.
The town board denied
the rezoning request at a
May 28 meeting, but that
vote was cast simply to
comply with state-imposed
time limits and could be
overturned at the June
12 vote, explained town
chair Dale Beske. Attorney
White said in an email that
the vote was very unusual but that its import will
depend on how the board
acts June 12.
Beske would not speculate on how the board might
vote but did anticipate a
lively hearing.
I think there is still a
lot of interest in the town,
especially among the neighbors, in terms of how this
petition is going to end up,
he said.
If the town or county
were to reject the proposal
again and ignore the clear
directives of state law,
Whites memo hinted more
lawsuits could be coming,
saying that the company
is exploring its options to
enforce its rights.

proposed tower than as

(exclusive farmland), she
wrote. In fact, most town
residents would argue that
the opposite is true.
In April, a Dane County
staff report sounded a similar note. Submitted to a
county committee charged
with reviewing the tower
proposal, it said the current zoning petition would
be subject to the same standards that doomed the 2011
application.
The zoning question is
the critical piece, said
James Danky, a Town of
Dunkirk resident and president of the local non-profit
advocacy group, Preserve
Our Rural Landscape.
Magnums attorney, William White, disagrees. In a
May 22 memo to town and
county officials, he said
the new statute included in
last springs state budget
severely restricted local
authority when it comes
to siting radio towers and
trumps the zoning question.
In fact, White argued, the
new statute means Magnum
doesnt need to rezone the
land at all. The company
is going through the process only to allow local and
county officials a chance to
tack on any conditions to its
approval.
Sue Wollin, a long-time
area farmer, has also rejected the notion that the tower would use up valuable
farmland.
In a March letter to th
Hub, she said only 6.7
acres are tillable of the 15.5
her business, Stoughton
Farms, would sell to Magnum. Of that, the tower and
its anchors would take up
less than one percent. Her
daughter, Kelsey Wollin, in

- recommended approval,
with several minor conditions.
But opponents feel they
still have the upper hand.
Town officials are
expected to first vote
whether to rezone the land
in question from an exclusive agriculture district
before deciding whether to
issue a conditional-use permit to build the tower.
State statutes say such
zoning changes should
only occur if they fit with
local farmland preservation plans and if the land
would be better suited as
non-farmland, according to
an April 25 letter to Dane
County officials from Jessica Polakowski, an attorney
who lives on 50 acres she
and her husband purchased
in 2010 near the proposed
site just before they learned
about the tower proposal.

Prom 2014
The Roaring Twenties prom theme was a big hit and many students unknowingly
matched the theme colors of teal and gold. Present to pass the crown were last years
king Ian Williams and queen Cosette Sommers with this years king Peter Kane and
queen Hannah Joswig.
Oregon celebrated prom 2014 on May 17 at the Inn on the Park in downtown
Madison. With the closing of prom 2014, the committee is now planning for prom
2015 which will be held on May 9 at the Monona Terrace. The prom committee decided they would like to offer a dinner with the dance in 2015.

SENIOR CARE

Q. Why should Comfort Keepers care for my elderly mom or dad?

A. Comfort Keepers provides home care for senior loved ones who are still living independently in their

homes, independent living facility or assisted living facility. As people age, they become weaker and more
susceptible to injuries from common activities like picking up objects or going down the stairs and even
falling. Comfort Keepers offers families the opportunity to be proactive about the safety and happiness of
their senior loved ones. The home care provided by Comfort Keepers covers a spectrum of care services
such as personal care (bathing, ambulating, incontinence) transportation, Alzheimers and dementia care,
light housekeeping, post-surgery care, and even skilled nursing care. If a family member or an elderly loved
Stephen Rudolph
FACHE, CSA
one calls to set up a free consultation, a Comfort Keepers home care specialist will visit their home to assess
the seniors living situation. At that time the caregiver can conduct a free home assessment to allow for better
maneuverability, to eliminate fall-risks, and discuss what they think the best care schedule for the senior will be. Whether its a couple
times a week, a couple hours a day, or even around the clock, Comfort Keepers can help your loved one! To learn more about home care
call Comfort Keepers today at (608) 442-1898. We have been serving the Dane County area with quality caregivers for nearly 15 years.

VETERINARIAN

Q. My horse is older does she really need to be vaccinated every year?

A. Yes! Unless your horse has medical reactions to vaccines, it is important to have
them vaccinated annually. The core vaccinations for horses differ by region of the
country, but in our area include Eastern and Western Equine Encephalitis, Tetanus,
West Nile Virus, Influenza, Herpes and Rabies. Research studies show that protection
from vaccination usually doesnt last longer than one year and is even shorter for
influenza and herpes. Protection from disease is always better (and more cost effective)
than having to try and treat a potentially life threatening disease.

INVESTMENT SERVICES

Q. How can an attorney help us with a For Sale by Owner home sale?

Q. Should women be concerned about different things than men about retirement

A. An attorney can save a lot of headaches on a FSBO sale. Your attorney

will help prepare your real estate condition report and review (or even draft)
the offer to purchase. He or she will draft any counter-offers, addendums and
Carrie Santulli Schudda
amendments required, work with your title insurance company on the closing
preparations, review the title insurance commitment, go over the settlement statement with you,
and advise you on any issues that may arise along the way. Choosing your attorney before listing
your property will avoid scheduling issues and ensure you have the professional guidance you
need, when you need it.

have longer lifespans than men, so they may need to fund additional years in retirement with
fewer financial resources. One study found that the average retirement savings for a woman

a chip on its shoulder all season long.
Returning a solid core of seniors
to go along with a pair of phenomenal freshman and a couple sophomores, the Panthers beat Madison
Edgewood for the first time in
a dual and went on to tie for the
Badger South Conference title
also a first.
Last Thursday, the Panthers
season-long quest to make history
was finally rewarded as the program
punched its first WIAA Division 1
team state berth with a 42-39 victory
over Madison West at Badger High
School in Lake Geneva.
Holding a 22-20 advantage entering sectionals, Oregon needed every
point it could get even if it didnt
know the exact score.
We didnt want to know how
close it was, head coach Ben Conklin said. We wanted to win that 1
doubles match no matter what and let
the points fall where they may.
With three matches remaining at
sectionals, the Panthers could secure
team honors in any scenario other
than letting Madison West walk away
victorious from all three courts.
That exact scenario nearly played
out, however, as the Regents won
titles at No. 3 singles and No. 3 doubles. Those two wins left the fate of
the Panthers state team tournament
berth solely up to senior No. 1 doubles players Alec Onesti and Dakota
Tollakson.
Onesti and Tollakson breezed
through their first sectional match,
defeating Badgers Josh Bakken and
Liam Bailey 6-0, 6-0 to qualify for
this weeks individual state tournament.
Its a great feeling and something

Oregon High School No. 1 doubles players Dakota Tollakson (left) and Alec Onesti celebrate their 4-6, 7-5, 6-1 comeback win
over Madison Wests Will Simonson and Matt Munns. The victory helped the Panthers secure their first-ever WIAA Division 1
state team tournament berth. Oregons No. 1 singles player Jackson Schneider and No. 2 singles player Calvin Schneider will
first both join the Panthers No. 1 doubles team at individual state this Thursday at Nielsen Tennis Stadium.

weve been working toward since the

beginning of the season, Onesti said.
They did way more to help out
their team, however, going on to add
a 6-0, 7-6 (8-6) win over top-seeded
Janesville Parker before closing out
the tournament as sectional champions.
Conklin was confident in his
teams changes despite Onesti and
Tollakson having lost to head-to-head
against West last month.
Once they got that second set,
I was feeling it, Conklin said.
Theyre seniors, and that was a huge
advantage. You could really feel it
when we jumped out to the lead in the
third set.
Having lost to the Regents top
doubles team in three sets last month,

Onesti and Tollakson earned a 4-6,

7-5, 6-1 comeback win over Madison Wests Will Simonson and Matt
Munns.
This is the best moment of my
life, a choked up Tollakson said after
clinching a ticket to team state. I
cant describe it.
Onesti and Tollakson (18-5) make
their first state appearance Thursday
at 1:30 p.m. against Appleton North
senior Sam Moeller and junior David
Brooker (13-4).
The seasons not done yet, Onesti said. Its unimagineable.
They wont be alone, senior Jackson Schneider punched his secondstraight individual title berth following a 6-1, 6-0 win over Beloits Blake
Farr. He followed that up with a 4-6,

7-6 (9-7), 10-7 win over top-seeded

Andrew Dahl, who he hadnt defeated since his sophomore season.
Jackson went down 5-2 in the second set tiebreaker, but still felt if he
kept battling, hed have some chances. We somehow pulled out the tiebreaker and did the same thing in the
third-set tiebreaker.
Going back to state individually
is awesome, said Schneider, who
lost 6-1, 6-2 against second-seeded
foreign exchange student Iram Turrubiartes. I would take going to team
state in two weeks over individual
state any day of the week, though.
Schneider (12-9) will face Whitefish Bay senior Wentong Zhang

Junior Josh Sromovsky races to the finish line in the 4x200 relay last Friday in the Janesville Parker
track and field sectional at Monterey Stadium. The team just beat out Kenosha Indian Trail for third
place and the final state berth in 1 minute, 30.78 seconds.

The goal for junior John Hermus all season long had been to qualify for this weekends WIAA Division 1 state track meet in
the 110-meter hurdles.
Hermus earned the final state berth in the

Fridays WIAA Division 1 Janesville

Senior pitcher Logan Laski came

games, and head coach Kevin Connor had confidence with him on the
mound.
Despite falling behind 2-0 early on,
the Panthers scored three times in the

distance and striking out seven in a
3-2 win.
I was impressed with the way
Logan threw, Connor said. ... It was
great to see what he did today against

Oregon manufactured its runs in
the fifth to take its lead. Senior Ross
Galloway had a bunt single and senior
Pierce Peterson followed with a single.
Junior Andrew Pliner then loaded
the bases with a bunt single, and
senior Jere Bauer and junior Mitch
Weber followed with sacrifice fly
RBIs. Laski followed with the eventual game-winning RBI double.

The Oregon High School

girls soccer team earned a No.
3 seed for the WIAA Division
2 playoffs, finishing 11-5-1
overall.
Head coach Julie Grutzner
said that while the strength of
schedule was probably harder
for the Panthers, she knew it
would be tough to jump No. 2
DeForest or No. 1 Waunakee
due to overall record.
You still have to play
Waunakee if you get that far,
so Im OK with that seed,
Grutzner said.
The Panthers open up
regional play at 7 p.m. Thursday against No. 14 Westosha

Grutzner said Oregon has
tons of confidence going into
the playoffs after coming back
to share the Badger South title
and scoring 16 goals in its
final three games.
Oregons games at Madison
West and against Middleton
were cancelled last week, but
the Panthers defeated Sauk
Prairie 4-1 on May 28.
We are a little disappointed that some of our non-conference games got cancelled

we are excited to take some

said.

Season ends in tough regional against La Follette

Jeremy Jones
Sports editor

Fifteenth-seeded Oregon
softball knew what was
ahead of it when the Panthers traveled to secondseeded Madison La Follette in the first round of the
WIAA playoff last Wednesday.
Facing one of the top
pitchers in the state in Lancers ace Nicole Newman,
Oregon could do nothing
offensively.
Newman, a Drake University recruit, pitched a perfect
game, striking out all 15 batters she faced in a 12-0 victory at Olbrich Park.
Ally Courts (2-for-3) and
Newman (2-for-3) each added a home run for La Follette.
Freshman Lacey Fluckinger was charged with the
loss. Fluckinger worked 4
2.3 innings, allowing seven

earned runs on 11 hits and

two walks. The Panthers
committed five errors.
La Follette went on to
defeat seventh-seeded
Madison East 4-3 to setup
a sectional semifinal game
against sixth-seeded Middleton.

All-conference

Senior Dani Moore was

named a second team AllConference utility player.
A three-year varsity starter/
letterwinner and two-time
captain, Moore split time
between catcher and shortstop this season
She batted .395 and led
the team in doubles (five)
and RBIs (12). Moore was
second on the team in hits
(15) and voted 2014 co-Outstanding Player of the Year
by her teammates.
Senior Cee Cee Herale
was tabbed as an honorable mention all-conference

infielder.
Herale returned to softball
after a injury caused her to
miss her junior year and limited her role as a senior. She
started on varsity since her
freshman year, earning three
varsity letters. Herale spent
most of the season at shortstop with some pitching and
a couple games in the outfield to save her arm.
She batted .290 and led
the team in home runs (two)
and RBIs (12). Herale
was also second in doubles
(four) and third on the team
with hits (11). She was voted 2014 Co-Outstanding
Player of the Year by her
teammates.
Sophomore MacKenzie
Kressin rounded out the
Panthers all-conference
honorees. Kressin was
selected honorable mention
all-conference infielder.
After being second team
all-conference last year
as a utility player Kressin

implanted herself as the

permanent third baseman.
She had 23 put outs and 17
assists.
Kressin was once again
one of the teams leading
hitters avoiding a sophomore slump, Derrick said.
She batted .321 and led the
team with hits (18) and was
second on the team with
doubles (four) and runs
(12). Amazingly she had
a hit against every team in
the Badger South Conference and only stuck out four
times in 64 plate appearances, Oregon head coach
Mike Derrick said.
All three helped the Panthers improve to a 4-16
record (2-10 Badger South)
from 2013 to 2014, Derrick
added.
The teams batting average also improved 40 points
over that span, while the
Panthers strikeouts were
down by 20 (in five more
games).

remained on the course.

But after a nervous wait,
the scores rolled in, and he
remained as the top individual.
After Middleton
(305) and Holmen (309)
advanced as teams,
Torhorst didnt need
to wait any more as he
advance to the Division 1
state tournament.
I am overjoyed right
now. I am really happy,
Torhorst said. It has
always been one of my
goals and one of dreams
to make state, and I finally did it after a couple of
tough years.
Torhorst didnt think
he was going to make it
in with his score with so
many coaches regarding
this sectional as one of, if
not the, toughest sectionals in the state. And after
his tough hole on the 17th,
he thought he would have
to play a playoff to make
state at the very best.
I finally just put on my
headphones and went and
putted, he said on waiting for the final scores to
come in. I was so nervous watching everybody
come in, especially with
that little one I missed. I

settled down and prepared
myself for a playoff.
I thought there was
going to be one, but obviously there wasnt, and I
am moving on and that is
what counts.

toward the team score.

Head coach Bill Scheer
said the team may have
had their expectations set
a little too high after its
regional round.
I think we were on such
a high after that we had a
little bit of a letdown, he
said. I think they maybe had too much trying
instead of relaxing and just
playing their game.
But with the entire varsity squad slated to return,
Scheer thinks the guys will
learn from the experience
from the past few weeks.

They know they can

play with the best teams,
and they proved that at
regionals, Scheer said.
They are really young,
and I think they are going
to take that experience for
the future. We will work
on our games and make
sure we get back here and
maybe get a state tournament berth next year.
As for Torhorst, his season continues at University Ridge Golf Course June
9-10 for the state tournament.
There are a couple of

things in my game I need

to work on, and ball striking is one of them, he
said. I am excited and

Although, we have time
to get better, I knew we
were going to be pretty good
as a team, Cutter said. I
think we all wanted to get
better this year and that hard
work really paid off for us.
Oregons 4x200 sprint
relay of Peterson, Sromovsky, Turner and
Mathews earned the final
state qualifying bid, taking
third place by breaking the
school record for a third time
this season in 1:30.78.
That was amazing,
Mathews said. It felt pretty
good, but we all feel we can
do even better at state, if we
can get our handoffs down.
Its believed to be 15 years
since the last time Oregon
advanced a sprint relay to the

To have both the 400 and
800 relay do it is a big credit
to coach Diaz, Lease said.
Sophomore hurdler Alex

her first-ever sectional title
on her final discus throw,
launching a season-best toss
of 113 feet, 5 inches to finish more than a foot ahead of
Miltons Brianna Jordahl.
Honestly, I felt more
fluid on my last throw,
Boehnen said. After watching the Milton girl, I really
settled down and focused.
Lease compared it to hitting a walk-off home run to
reach the World Series.
Boehnen, who would have
bettered the school record
(120-4) earlier this season if
not for scratching, said she is
aiming to break the record in
her final meet Friday.
Senior Valerie Jones was
hoping to advance through
last weeks sectional meet
in all four events. Instead the
senior settled for three-outof four.
Jones wrapped a sectional
title in the 800-meter run
(2:19.05), helped the Panthers 4x400 finish runner-up
to Stoughton in 4:05.03 and
also secured the final spot in
the 1,600 run (5:23.29).
I felt so much pressure,
I knew this could be there
last race, said sophomore
Maddie LeBrun, who joined
seniors Ruby Carpenter,
Jones and Jamie Wood on
the 4x400. Theyre my best
friends on the team and I
would never let them down.
High jump was the only
event she was unable to

carry into this weekends

WIAA Division 1 state track
and field meet, finishing
sixth.
I cant say enough about
Val, doing the 800, 4x400,
the mile, Lease said. Shes
just an iron woman, but she
does it and does it in really
good form.
LeBrun (59.95) finished
runner-up to Stoughton
freshman Alyson Weum
(58.26) in the 400.
I really thought I could
qualify for state in the 400,
I didnt leave anything on
the track for the 4x400 later, LeBrun said. I knew
I would find the strength in
the end.
Wood, who was coming
back from a stress fracture
in her foot, just missed out
on state in the 400, finishing
fourth overall.
Freshman Isabella Musillam placed sixth in the shot
put.
Sophomore Emma Hughes
and Carpenter finished seventh in the 1,600 and 100
hurdles, respectively. Oregons 4x200 sprint relay also
finished seventh.
Defending state champion
Kenosha Bradford (96) won
the sectional title, last years
sectional champion Stoughton (90) and Verona (60.5)
rounded out the top three.
Oregon finished fourth (59).
There were a lot of
nerves out there, but in the
end, we got the jump done,
Lease said. Everyone will
be all rested for La Crosse.
Thats all fun.

contact with the wall.Johnson would regain
the lead only to have Feiler sail by him on lap
20.

rest of the field tried to keep him in their sites.
Chris Wimmer appeared to be the fastest and
by the competition yellow and 10-minute
break at lap 75 was up to second.
Feiler elected to restart on the inside with

Chrome: Won the Kentucky Derby, Preakness in 2014

Continued from page 1
But other interests soon
took over, and Wiechers
eventually gave her horse
away to her college roommate. Decades would pass
before she got another one.
In the late 1970s, she
moved to Madison and
started a career working
with computers. In the early 1990s, she switched to
selling real estate for two
years, then began selling
furniture at Madison-area
stores. She thought about
owning another horse, but it
sounded too expensive.
A co-worker in the late
1990s, however, had a
horse and invited Wiechers to come see it. Wiechers interest returned. She
started looking into getting
her own, and in 2006, she
decided to purchase one
from a rescue facility near
the Twin Cities.
In 2008, Wiechers moved
to Oregon to be closer to
her horse, which was boarded by Jen Williams, owner
of Saddle Up Horse Training in the Town of Oregon.

In 2008, Wiechers moved to Oregon to be closer to her horse, which was boarded by Jen Williams,
owner of Saddle Up Horse Training in the Town of Oregon.

A year later, she was

unexpectedly laid off from
her job. She collected
unemployment and spent
her free time at the stables.
An ad on the internet asking

for short-term labor at Harris Farms caught her eye.

She applied, but was turned
down and told she needed
more experience.
Over the coming year,

mares give birth. And in

at Harris called to see if she
still wanted a job there.
I jumped right on it,

In late December 2010,

Wiechers drove her SUV
across the country to the
desert highlands of Central
California, got an apartment and starting working.
Her typical workday lasted from noon to 10 p.m.,
six days a week. She was
paid $10 an hour to administer and track medications
and monitor mares before
and after they gave birth.
After her six months
were up in June 2011, she
returned to her apartment
in Oregon with the best
memories of my life and
a parting gift.
That spring, California Chromes first trainer,
Per Antonsen, had offered
Wiechers an unbroken mare
for free. Wiechers said she
called Williams for advice,
and Williams agreed to help
break and train the horse,
which, by the way, is not
related to the Triple Crown
contestant. So she brought
the thoroughbred back to
Wisconsins horse capitol.
Wiechers thought the story might end there. But this
March, a co-worker told her
that California Chrome had
qualified for the Derby, and
that his foaling certificate
had her name on it.
I went totally nuts,
Wiechers said. It was all I
could think about and talk
about.
On the day of the Derby,
she was working at a furniture store on the Beltline, but
her managers said she could
go home early to watch. She
did, alone, and was elated
when he won. She followed the same routine for
the Preakness Stakes. In an
interview last week, Wiechers said shell probably do
the same on Saturday.
Im extremely nervous,
she said, yet confident that
Chrome will become the
first Triple Crown winner
since Affirmed in 1978.
I think hes going to
make it, she said. From
what Ive seen and heard
and what other people who
have owned Triple Crown
winners say, hes got what
it takes.
