Village of Oregon
police chief Doug Pettit is
defending his handling of
the Union Sports Club, as
well as his reputation.
In an interview last Friday with the Observer,
Pettit said he found some
parts of a report in last
weeks edition kind of
disturbing, and to some
degree challenging my
reputation and my ethics.
Last week, the Village
Board unanimously voted
to deny a liquor license
to the Union Sports Club,
which has operated in the
village since 2004 and has
held a liquor license since
2006.
As part of the discussion, village attorney Matt
Dregne presented the
board with a list of violations of the villages liquor
policies and other laws at
the club, all under Pettits

vigorously defended the
club and its management
in the past despite its violations, the scope of which
surprised some board

I would intentionally not

Dairy Days 2014

The Green County celebration Dairy Days came to Brooklyn this past weekend. Celebrations included a street dance, parade with antique tractors
(above) as well as the Brooklyn EMS fundraiser pancake breakfast. Kids
enjoyed fire engine rides as part of the celebrations.
Another tradition is the naming of the Dairy Queens who represent their
city or town. Liz Grady, at right, who is the Dairy Queen of Brooklyn for
this year, was one of the queens featured in the parade and throughout the
Dairy Days events.

Stoughton.
The Stoughton-McFarlandOregon Relay For Life had sunny

weather even among the rainy
days lately for the annual event at
Mandt Park in Stoughton. Supporters and fundraisers camped out at
the June 20 event, with the theme,
Give Cancer the Boot! With
the boot concept, many played
on the country-western theme,
with cowboy boots, hats and the
Nazareth House team even had a

hay bale saloon set up at their
camp.
The opening ceremony featured
speeches from Sue and Denny
Maerz, longtime Stoughton residents who were its honorary survivors, along with Sara Fishwild of
Oregon.
The total funds raised came
to $104,550 that will go to the
American Cancer Society for cancer research. While the goal was
$110K, one of the organizers,
Amy Ketterer, told the Courier

Hub in an email that fundraising
will still be going on until Aug. 30.
The top fundraisers so far are the
Mighty Mites team of Stoughton
and the Holy Mother of Consolation team of Oregon.
Ketterers optimistic the Relay
teams will meet their goal.
Well do it, she said. People just keep giving after such an
inspirational event, and especially
when they know were so close to
our goal.

Rutland still looking for the right fit

On the web
Officials seek ideas

on new town hall

SCOTT DE LARUELLE

Rutland officials are seeking input on possible designs for a town hall to replace the current one.
Below is an artists depiction of a proposed 4,800-square-foot town hall that was voted down at the
April 15 Town of Rutland annual meeting.
updated information on the

towns website.
Comments will be
accepted through June 30,
and though Beske said
thats not necessarily a firm
deadline, comments are
desired as soon as possible
to give town officials and
contractors time to evaluate them and include them
in the Sept. 9 presentation.
Since the vote at the annual
meeting, he said the town
has received a few emails
and a few suggestions on
the website, but he hopes

people will be more vocal
in letting town officials
know what they want.
Were trying to come
up with options at different cost levels, and try to
identify what the benefits
and shortcomings of each
particular cost level would
be in terms of design, he
said, directing residents to
the towns website, town.
rutland.wi.us.
Growing
issue
According to a letter sent
out last week by Beske to

residents, Rutlands population has nearly tripled since
the current hall was built in
the mid-1960s, and with it,
the town has added services
such as EMS, senior center and recycling. He said
the current building has
inadequate space for meetings, tax collection, elections and records storage,
causing officers to operate
out of their homes. Also,
there are no audio-visual
facilities for presentations
UN340574
Strongly rebuffed by voters who rejected borrowing up to $1 million for

a new town hall in April,
Town of Rutland officials
want more public comment and ideas before trying again in September.
For the past half-century
or so, town government
has operated out of essentially a metal garage building, and in the past months,
board members have sought
to replace the office and
records storage portion with
a more modern facility,
leaving the current building
as a garage. After plans for
a 4,800-square-foot building were soundly rejected at
the towns annual meeting
April 15, its been back to
the drawing board, though
town officials want more
input from residents on
what exactly they are looking for.
Rutland town chairman
Dale Beske said the town
officials started talking
seriously about numbers
in March and April, many
residents were up in arms
about the proposal, though
he said it had been on the
agenda for more than 20
meetings. To give more
time for public input and
information-gathering, the
board decided to reconvene the annual meeting on
Sept. 9, and have provided
during meetings, and

inadequate security of
records and employees.
The space is two-thirds
garage space and one-third
meeting/office space, and
the heating system in the
garage area, has no barrier to prevent diesel fumes
and odors from permeating
the entire building, and no
ventilation to bring in fresh
outside air. Beske said the
building is poorly insulated,
with no air conditioning,
and is expensive to heat
during the winter months.
The well and septic system are failing and will
soon need to be replaced
at considerable expense.
Around three years, ago,
the board purchased three
acres north of the existing
town hall to build a new

one. A space needs study
was completed last spring,
proposing a building of
around 5,200 square feet, at
a cost of around $1.08 million. Beske said the consensus of people at the annual
meeting that month was to
proceed with the project.
Late last year, the town
hired an architectural firm
to develop the new building, and signed a contract in
January. The towns building committee started work
that month, and by April,
had trimmed the size of the
building to 4,800 square
feet, and presented the plan
at the meeting, attended by
around 150 people, around
110 of which voted against
the building and financing plans. Voters further
instructed the building committee to revise the scope
of the project and come up
with a proposal that would
be less expensive.

Vote Sheridan for 15th Senate district

Im writing to express my personal support for Mike Sheridan
for State Senate. Sheridan and I
agree on most issues.
Because I taught in Janesville
for 33 years, I especially value
Mikes opinion: Too much money
has been cut from public schools.
Wisconsin used to boast that we
had one of the best school systems
in the country. This is no longer
true.
Mike feels that our tax money
should not be spent to support private voucher schools. I agree.
It bothers me that our tax
money is going to voucher
schools that dont have to prove
that their schools are meeting any
educational standards that public

schools have to meet.
There have been studies showing that private voucher schools
are not as good at educating our
children as public schools.
I strongly believe that Mike
Sheridan can make a difference
in Madison due to his experience,
fairness, and his ability to work
with both sides of the aisle.
We have three Democratic candidates from which to choose. Im
choosing Mike. Please vote for
Mike Sheridan on Aug. 12.

What an old dog

can teach you
I
m a guy who has lived with

dogs for 35 years, spent five
years in a dog daycare and
started my own dog training
business.
You might think I know a lot
about dogs.
Youve likely heard the old
saw, You cant teach old dogs
new tricks. You know, humans
are the teachers and dogs are the
students. They just need to stop
what they are doing and pay attention so they can learn something.
I prefer to imagine what might
happen if we stopped to pay attention to what our dogs are trying to
teach us.
On May 29, my wife and I lost
our dog Jake at 16 years, four and
one-half months of life. He was a
spunky -- or crazy -- young black
Labrador. His youth was spent in
typical Labbie enthusiasm.
Jake joyfully pursued Frisbees
and balls, splashed in pools and
ran off whenever he escaped his
leash, which was often. Once, he
chased a snowmobile for a quarter-mile. Whee!
Usually, he romped around
neighboring farms, chasing deer
or livestock. Jake would not come
when called and seemed to delight
all the more when I chased after
him. Whee! Whee!
In frustration, I often found
myself waving my arms like a
monkey chasing the other monkey
who had just stolen his banana.
Jake loved a great game of chase
even more than catching Frisbees.
I wondered what I was going to
do with this dog.
His recklessness led to accidents and injuries, such as when
Jake walked across the path of
our 1,100-pound horse while
she passed through a gate. He
sprawled across the ground, twice.
Once, while cleaning the horse
stall, Jake scooted past me to salvage the rest of the horse apples
before I could hog them all and
was kicked in the head.
Thanks to Jake, our veterinarian
and I became closely acquainted.
By age 12, Jake had developed
spinal arthritis and I came to
know another vet who practiced
acupuncture.
We took him to several training
courses that left us with all of our
Antolec and Buddha
original problems and frustrations.

Then there was the agility class
in which he kept getting into dog
fights.
At times I was quite sure he was
beyond training. I scratched my
head and wondered what I could
teach such a crazy dog, but the
real issue was what he could teach
me.
As he aged, Jake settled into a
calm snuggle bunny, still eager to
play but slowing in step and no
longer inclined to pursue adventures off our property.
In his final minutes he settled
against me as I sat on the floor,
his head resting in my hands as
we exchanged glances and shared
long heartfelt embraces.
I gently stroked his gray face
and serenaded him with loving
words, softly spoken as I massaged him into a relaxed and
peaceful state. I held his cloudy
brown eyes in mine as he quietly
slipped away.
My tears washed away all lingering doubt and fear. Jake knew
he was well-loved and that I
would take care of him to the final
breath, whether his or mine.
Jake found safe haven in my
heart, far from want and worry,
secure in my love. I took away the
pain that debilitated him, and now
I carry that burden for him.
It was my privilege, and my
enduring sorrow, to perform

a final duty for such a loving
soul. Jake taught me much about
patience, empathy and compassion.
We Americans dont seem to
deal well with death and loss
and too often live in denial. Jake
taught me how to love, and how
to lose those I love.
Jake lived joyfully in the
moment. He forgave past wrongs
and my human failings. Perhaps
an old man can learn new tricks,
after all.
My dog was showing me the
way all along, but being human, it
was hard for me to just stop what
I was doing and pay attention. On
May 29, I paid attention.
Dogs joined us 30,000 years
ago. I think they came to teach the
most valuable lesson in life: How
to become a Human Being.
Please honor your dogs; they
have earned it.

Fear Not!
What is the root of all evil? Some say selfishness, and Saint Paul
said it was the love of money, but perhaps it is really just fear,
since fear is at bottom the unwillingness or inability to trust God.
While we should be a bit dubious about reducing everything,
especially something as complicated as sin or evil, to one simple
thing, the more we reflect on this the more we see that fear does
indeed reside at the basis of many sins. Consider how greed
(or the love of money) derives from a fear that our future will be
destitute and that money will somehow guarantee our security.
Negative emotions like jealousy and envy are often borne of the
fear that we will lose our loved ones to more attractive or talented
rivals. Anger is quite often just fear that has turned outward: the
startled response to a slammed door is quickly replaced by anger
directed at the door slammer. But, perhaps this is as it should be:
anger and fear are appropriate at the right time and place, and
when tempered by reason and mercy. Perhaps no one thing is the
root of all evil and perhaps there are many roots of many evils.
Greed is one thing, while fear and anger are another, or to quote
Joseph Butler, everything is what it is and not another thing.
- Christopher Simon via Metro News Service
So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am
your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you
with my righteous right hand.

THANK YOU FROM THE FAMILY

OF KERI BEHNKE EVERT
Words dont adequately express our love and appreciation for all the
deeds of kindness by our friends, neighbors, co-workers, relatives
and extended family. Hugs, food brought to comfort and sustain us,
trips for medical appointments, care and concern expressed and
prayers helped us through one day at a time. We also appreciate our
farming friends and neighbors who gave unselfishly of their time and
machinery to help us get our hay crop in last weekend.
We sincerely thank you for the memorials and Rich Wisdon and staff
of J.L. Richards for the excellent meal after the funeral service. Laura
James and Susie Martin did a wonderful job of sharing some of their
experiences with Keri some bringing laughter and sometimes tears.
Pastor Rebecca Ninke had kind words to comfort us as she shared
stories and memories. Southerncare Hospice and the caregivers at
Agrace Hospice were wonderfully supportive, and we appreciate their
helpfulness.
The Oregon-Brooklyn School District has been behind Keri and her
family helping from day one taking her to treatments, providing
food and comfort, hats and many visits. We can as a community be
very proud of our schools and the examples being set for our children.
The Brooklyn Mighty Mites 4-H Club families raked the lawn this spring
and cleaned the flower beds. They also brought food for the family.
All of you have a special place in our hearts. God Bless You.

Building their future
Trade skill students construct a house each year

SCOTT DE LARUELLE
With demand for skilled

trade workers soaring, some
Oregon High School students are setting themselves
up for success after graduation.
OHS technology and
engineering teacher Christopher Prahls year-long
building trades course produces one new house a year
(this years house recently
had an open house), and he
said its a great way to get
students involved in the
construction trades, either
directly or indirectly. He
said about half of his 18 students this year have already

Fireworks provide spark

for Chambers 50th
SCOTT GIRARD
A 50th birthday usually

means an extra candle on
the birthday cake.
But the Oregon Chamber of Commerce is going
a bit bigger than candles.
Instead, a new fireworks
display will highlight
Thursday night at Summer
Fest in celebration of the
Chambers anniversary.
Everyone is excited,
said chamber director Judy
Knutson.
The fireworks will be
launched at Jaycee Park,
which will be closed to
pedestrians during the
show, and Knutson said not
even the parks neighbors
expressed any concerns.
Ive had calls from the
neighbors over there, we
just need to know so we can
take care of the pets, she
said. Nobody has given
me bad why are you doing
this?
But fireworks dont
come free, and the OregonBrooklyn Lions Club is
doing its part to support the
new feature after a group of
Lions sat around wondering
Why dont we have fireworks? said Lions Club

vice president Rich Wisden.
We thought itd be a
great way of doing something for the community,
Wisden said.
Wisden, who has lived
in Oregon nearly 30 years,
said he remembers fireworks on and off, but
theyve never been a consistent Summer Fest feature, despite the festivals
proximity to July 4.
This is just kind of a
nice thing, especially for
families with kids and stuff
like that, he said. I just
think its something that
Oregon really needs.
And while the Chambers
50th anniversary provides
a nice excuse, Wisden said
the Lions dont expect the
fireworks to be a one and
done feature.
Our whole idea is this is
something we want to continue, he said.
Wisden made sure to
point out that the funds for
the fireworks are coming
mostly from Ribfest sales,
and without its sponsors for
that, it likely wouldnt be
possible.
If you go
What: Summer Fest

When: Thursday, June
26, after dusk (rain date

Where: Launched from
Jaycee Park; Watch in
Kaiser Park
Its not like the Lions

have got a lot of money,
he said with a laugh. When
our sponsors are helping
out, theres a huge part of
it. Its pretty much a community thing.
Knutson said they expect
people to watch the fireworks, which will begin
at dusk, from Kaiser Park.
North Perry Parkway will
also be closed during the
show for safety reasons,
Knutson said.
Wisden was simply
thankful for the opportunity to provide something
he said the community has
sorely needed for years.
Thank our sponsors,
thank the chamber, thank
everybody, he said.

The Oregon-Brooklyn
Lions Club-sponsored
event will feature a barbecue dinner, drawing and
live entertainment and is
slated for June 29 from 11

music entertainment tent.
The proceeds will benefit the Lions Club, with
a portion helping fund the

Summer Fest fireworks
display.
Richard Wisden, owner
of JL Richards, said the
event is the perfect way
to wind down from the
parade and enjoy what
Summer Fest has to offer
on Sunday.
Its after the parade,
and we start serving

Hopefully, people will
keep summer fest going

to get 1,000 people out for
the event.
In its third year, Thrilla
on the Grilla features barbecue baby back ribs or a
half barbecue chicken dinner with your choice of
sides: salad, baked beans,
or roll and butter. Tickets

Hot air balloon rides take flight this year
Summer Fest schedule
Picture yourself soaring

above the bustling Summer
Fest grounds as you take in a
beautiful sunset view.
If that sounds appealing, a
tethered hot air balloon ride
at this years festival could be
just what youre looking for.
Oregons Pure Integrity
Homes of RE/MAX Preferred Realtors and other
local businesses will host the
new ride this year on Friday
night from 7-9 p.m. just north
of the softball diamonds.
A limited number of rides
on the full-sized hot air balloon are available for a suggested donation of $20 per
ride. Proceeds from the rides
will go to Oregons historic
pump house restoration project. Oregons Pure Integrity
Homes owner Tony Antoniewicz said his company would
match funds up to $1,500.
Rides will last between
5-10 minutes and are dependent on wind and weather
conditions.
Weather conditions last
year prohibited what would
have been the inaugural
event, Antoniewicz said.
The goal is to have this be
an annual event, he said.
The balloon is tethered to
one spot and floats around
100 feet up in the air for a
few minutes, Antoniewicz
said.

The Oregon Summer Fest

car show has a new location
this year.
The annual show will

Expecting more than 100

advantage of the car show
at Park Street is its closer
to the fairgrounds, she said.

We get such great cars,
she said. And the owners

Theyre all very nice.
The event features dash

more than 10 classes ranging from the 1930s and prior to the 1990s to present. It Classic and custom cars will be on display in a new location this year. The car show has moved to Park Street.

One local band and two big names make festival music
Most importantly, Sparby said she and the rest of
Super Tuesday love getting on stage and performing.
It really is fun to get
up and sing, and going
back to places where you
played for years is always
a good time, she said.
BILL LIVICK
One of the things

thats guaranteed to draw
throngs to Summer Fest
takes place in the entertainment tent, where some
of the areas top festival
band take the stage.
This year, Oregons
Universal Sound makes
the music on Thursday
night, followed by the outrageously 80s look and
feel of Cherry Pie on Friday. On Saturday, Super
Tuesday returns to perform a variety of upbeat
dance tunes and hard rock.
Super Tuesday
Super Tuesday formed
in 1996 as a four-piece
alternative pop and rock
band. Nearly 20 years later, the band has six members and is one of southern
Wisconsins most popular
club and festival bands.
Theyve regularly
appeared at Oregon Summer Fest, as well as events
like Verona Hometown
Days and the Wisconsin
Fair. Theyre also fixtures
at area watering holes
such as Badger Bowl,
Pooleys and Club Tavern
in Middleton.
The good news is that
lead singer Dia Sparby
returned to Super Tuesday last year after taking a
couple of years off following the birth of her second
child.
Along with Sparbys
energetic stage presence, the band features
Doug Skinner on bass and
vocals, Jeff Hermans on
guitar and vocals, Maryellen Jenson on keyboards
and vocals, Shane Sparby
(Dias husband) on drums,
and Shane Tracy on lead
guitar and vocals.
Dia Sparby said she
returned to the band out of
necessity and shes glad
she did.
Its like home, she
said. We have a really
good chemistry. Weve
had so many changes over
the years. My husband
and I have been like the
consistent members, and
weve had a couple rounds
of guitar players and bass
players.

Skinner - are two of the

reasons Sparby returned
to the stage, but the main
reason is the other singer
just wasnt working out,
she explained.
She said she felt horrible that it wasnt working out, and with her husband and close friends still
performing, she was compelled to rejoin the band.
Sparby recalled that
when she first performed
with the new band members, we just gelled
immediately. Theyre
seasoned professionals.
Theyve been playing way
longer than Ive been singing. Theyre just pros.
Another reason for Dias
return is that Super Tuesday may be nearing its
last go round, she said.
We dont know the
end date for Super Tuesday, but its definitely out
there. Weve been doing
this for 13 years, and I
thought if I come back
and finish, it makes total

sense vs. having someone
else finish out what I was
involved with for so long.
Super Tuesday takes its
cues from such artists as
Bon Jovi, Jason Aldean,
Journey, Little Big Town,
Bryan Adams, Sugarland,
Michael Jackson, Poison,
and Bruno Mars, among
others. Performances are
high energy and made for
dancing.
Sparby said the bands
music is a variety of all
kinds of music.
Theres so much country music out there now,
she observed. Thats
what we interchange. We
dont have a lot of it, but
we change it out all the
time because theres so
much.
But weve still got the
80s staples in there and
some of the old stuff that
weve done forever that if
we ever were to get rid of,
people would be upset.
Light shows, loud music

and big hair in the style of
1980s rock. Thats Cherry
Pie, an award-winning
band based in Milwaukee
but popular throughout the
Midwest.
The band formed in
1999 and in 2000 changed
its name Cherry Pie. It
features Dave Zettle on
guitar, John Swenson on
lead vocals, Shane Loy
on bass and vocals, Frank
Babeck in drums and Josh
Becker on keyboards, guitar and vocals.
In an interview, Becker
told the Observer the band
tends to ignite things on
stage.
Frank, the drummer, is
a real showman always
twirling his sticks and
drawing attention to himself, Becker said. Johns
singing is especially
impressive, because whatever you think about the
vocal stylings of Journeys
Steve Perry or Motley
Crews Vince Neal, those
hyper tenors are not easy
to imitate. Hes a great
frontman, too.
Becker described the
bands shows as part

machismo and part kitsch.
He admitted that what the
band does is sort of silly
on one level, but with a
high level of musicianship
and commitment.
He said the band takes
its craft seriously and
takes pride in its music,
but we try not to take
the whole thing too seriously.
Were paying tribute
but also sort of mock ing all at the same time,
Becker said. We are good
at what we do, but we
dont want to be taken too
seriously. I think thats
the antithesis of what
the 90s were about. Ive
always felt that the bands
of the 90s, like Nirvana
and others, always took
themselves seriously without taking their craft seriously. Were like the other
way around.
The band has averaged
about five shows a month
for the last 14 years and
has been recognized with
Wisconsin Area Music
Industry awards.
To get a sense of what
to expect, Becker listed
some of the bands favorite artists: Bon Jovi, Beck,
Rush, Van Halen, Slayer,
Stevie Ray Vaughn, Alice
Cooper.
He said the band thrives
on performing for big
audiences.
One of the biggest
thrills for me, personally, is like when we play
Wanted Dead or Alive

by Bon Jovi, usually the
crowd will sing along
really loud, he said. And
during that whole first
verse, its really nothing
but acoustic guitar and
lead vocal. And a lot of
times John will stop singing and the whole crowd
will sing the first verse
while I play acoustic guitar. When youre doing
that for like 3,000 or 4,000
people at a festival, that is
unbelievable.
Universal Sound
Established in 1972,
Universal Sound is one of
the areas longest running
bands, according to Dan
Sutter, who plays bass and
sings. He joined the band
in 1999. Other band members include Scott Nabholtz on keyboards and
vocals, Alan Maslowski
on drums and vocals, and
Randy Glodowski on lead
guitar and vocals.
We play old rock and
roll, a touch of country,
and whatever else we
feel like playing. Thats
why its universal sound
theres something for
almost everyone, Sutter
said. Really its goodtime, danceable music.

VICTORIA VLISIDES
A new event at Oregon

Summer Fest doubles as a
charity fundraiser.
In its first year, the
Motorcycle Poker Run is a
motorcycle (or car) ride that
includes four stops, each at
a different spot in the greater Madison area.
Dont be fooled by the
name.
Its really a ride, more
than a run, said organizer
Dave Mastos.
The June 28 ride includes
a $20 donation that benefits PAWWS To Heal.
Its a local organization
that offers animal-assisted
therapy and activities to
children healing from abuse
and to help cope with physical disabilities.

hed been thinking about

how to incorporate a motorcycle ride in the festivities.
After learning about the
charity, he thought itd be a
good fit for the event.
We hope to raise some
money for their good cause,
and hopefully bring some
more people into Oregon
for the Summer Fest activities, as well, he said.
Participants can buy
refreshments at each stop
and will get a playing card

at each stop, too. That will
add up to a poker hand, and
first, second and third prizes will be given out to the
top hands.
Registration for the ride
is day-of at 116 Spring St.,
from 10-11 a.m. The ride
will begin at Oregon Summer Fest grounds around
11:10 a.m. and goes until
about 5 p.m.

Summer Fest: A few familiar events return

Marching bands and floats will make their way down Main Street Sunday during the annual parade. A
marching band competition is slated for Sunday night at Oregon High School.
experience, Knutson
admits that planning this
years festival has been
smoother than last years
trial by fire.
The organizing is definitely a little easier this
year, she said.
Its a big year for the
chamber because the organization is celebrating 50
years of existence. That
fact also makes it a big
year for Summer Fest, the
chambers largest annual
fundraiser.
After 12 years, the
chamber is bringing back
a fireworks show as a way
to celebrate its anniversary. That will take place

Thursday night at dusk
(with a Friday rain date).
Thursday is also family
night, with Oregons own
Universal Sound band performing in the entertainment tent. Other musical
entertainment includes
classic rock with Cherry
Pie on Friday night and
alternative rock by Super
Tuesday on Saturday.
Saturday will be a particularly active day for
Summer Fest goers, with
a daylong softball tournament, the classic walk/run
beginning at 9 a.m. and
a tug-o-war starting at 1
p.m.
The chamber is sharing
a table at the Summer Fest
grounds with the Oregon
Area Historical Society.
OAHS will have a few
items on display to highlight the chambers anniversary.
They will have the
drum that we (the chamber) used to use in the
band 50 years ago, Knutson said.
She also noted a lifesized fiberglass horse
the chambers old mascot
has been pulled out of
storage, restored and will
be on the grounds and in
the parade.
(She credited Denny
Erfurth for being nice
enough to fix it up.)
Speaking of the parade,
its happening Sunday
beginning at 12:30 p.m.
The chamber has chosen
Bill Urban as its Grand
Marshal this year.
Urban retired two years
ago from the Oregon
School District 50 years
after he began his career
in education.
Hes helped many,
many business employees find work with chamber members, and we felt
he would be very good as
Grand Marshal this year,
Knutson said.
Oregon Community
Bank and Trust is helping
with the parade as well, by
donating $1,000 in prize
money for the float judging. Knutson said there
will be about 70 entries in
the parade. The first-place
winner will receive $500,
with $300 going to the
second-place winner and
$200 for third place.
Also Sunday is the
Parade of Bands Competition Show, which begins
at 7:30 p.m. at Panther
Stadium. Gates open at
6 p.m., with concessions
provided. Ticket prices
are $9 individual and $25
for a family up to six. The
famous Kilties Drum &
Bugle Corps will perform
in exhibition.
Last week, Knutson told
the Observer that the arts
and crafts show, which
takes place 8 a.m. 4 p.m.
Saturday in the entertainment tent, was low on
entries. This is the first
year for the event, and on
Monday, Knutson said its
filling up.
She thinks the entire
community is pulling
together to make Summer
Fest a big success.
Were working well
with the village, she said.
Theyre helping us block
off the streets. The police
and fire departments have
been wonderful to work
with.
It seems like everything is falling into place
because everyones willing to work together, and
I just think thats really a
community effort.

Madison International Speedway
Brown remains points leader in Super Trucks

JOHN WELLS
Special to the Observer
Blake Brown (American Ethanol Super Trucks), Will Rece

(Daves White Rock Sportsman),
Aaron Moyer (Roto Rooter Legends) and Dan Snyder (Pellitteri
Waste Systems Bandits) picked
up the overall wins in the their
respective divisions as part of
a Night of Features at Madison
International Speedway.
Clean sweep for Brown in

Super Trucks
Blake Brown increased his
point lead in the American Ethanol Super Trucks after sweeping
the field Friday. Brown set a fast
time and won both 20-lap features
en route to picking up the overall
win.
Steve Dobbratz and Jerry Wood
brought the field to the green in
the first 20-lap feature with Wood
taking the advantage. Meanwhile,
Brown was working his way up
through the field and on lap seven passed Kurt Kleven for third.
Next on his radar was Camden
Murphy who he was able to pass
on lap.
Now it was time to catch the
leader. On lap 10, he was able to
find room on the inside of Wood
for the lead and the two raced
side by side for four laps before
Brown was able to take the lead.
The caution flag would come out
on lap 18 for a spin setting up a
double file restart with two laps to
go.
Both Brown and Wood chose
the inside with Chester Ace moving up to take the spot alongside
Brown. Brown was able to hold
off Ace, but not without a fight, to
pick up the victory.
It was a lot of fun. These guys
are great to work with and my
truck was really set up well, said
Brown.
In the second 20-lap event,
Joshua James took the lead after
a spin on lap 1 and was in command from the start.On lap three,
Kevin Knuese passed John Beale
for second place while Brown
was working his way through the
field after starting in last.
On lap six, Brown powered his
way past Jerry Wood for third and
began chasing down Knuese. As
the race stayed green, James continued to show the way out front
while Brown moved into second
on lap 16.
The question was would
Brown have enough time to catch
James.As the laps counted down
the lead began to shrink and with
two to Brown was on the tailgate
of the leader and eventually found
room on the inside to take the lead
and pick up the clean sweep.
I have to thank the guys for
getting this truck set up perfectly.
Chad and the guys did a great job.
This truck is so fun to race and
to win twice is pretty nice, said
Brown.
White Rock Sportsman. Point

leader Kody Hubred took the
checkered flag in the second
15-lap feature.
Jason Dunn took the early lead
in the first 15-lap feature and held
it until lap five when Rece powered by him on the outside coming out of turn four.Rece quickly
built up a sizeable margin over
Dunn with Matt Lundberg and
Ryan Goldade fighting it out for
third.On lap 13 Goldade moved
past Lundberg for third and on
the final lap surpassed Dunn for
second but wouldnt have time to
catch Rece.
Its great to get this first one,
said Rece.
In the second feature, Jason
Thoma took the lead from Mike
Taylor on the first lap with Kody
Hubred up to second.A spin coming out of turn two brought out
the caution flag on lap nine, setting up a double file restart.
Hubred was able to get by
Thoma and led the rest of the way
to pick up his third feature win of
the season.
This was better. I definitely
didnt get it done in the first one,
said Hubred.
Based on combined finish in
the two races, Rece was the overall winner. It was a lot of work
tonight.After starting in the back
of the second race we really had
to work hard to get to finish
third.
and the checkered flag in both

15-lap feature races.
A caution at the start of the first
feature almost took out the entire
field, but Snyder was able to
avoid it.He took the lead after the
restart and never looked back and
easily picked up the win.
I was just happy to avoid the
first lap issues, said Snyder.
In the second feature, Jeremy
Simmons took control of the race
from the start before the caution
flag came out on lap eight.On the
restart Snyder was up to challenge
for the lead and on lap 10 tried
to go by Simmons on the outside
going into turn four but quickly
dove to the inside to make the
pass, take the lead and the win.
Point leader Brandon Delacy finished second.
I saw him get high in four and
I made the move inside, said
Snyder.
Moyer, Talaska split features

in the Legends
Aaron Moyer and Cory Talaska each picked up a win tonight

in the 20-lap features for the Roto
Rooter Bandits, but Moyer was
the overall winner based on his
first- and second-place finishes.
The first feature was clearly
one of the more unusual races
fans have seen at MIS.
Johnny Kringas took the early
lead over Kyle Jusits before a spin
Rece takes top honors in
on lap 5 brought out the caution.
Sportsman
Snyder Sweeps the Bandits On the restart Moyer overtook
Powered by a win and a thirdKringas with Cory Talaska quickDan Snyder was the big winner ly up to second and before long
place finish, Will Rece was the
overall winner in the Daves in the Pellitteri Waste Systems the two were racing side-by-side.
Bandits after picking up fast time
Then after 16 laps were
completed, the two leaders slowed

on the backstretch and the entire
field except for Kyle Vergata
headed to the pits thinking the
race was over. After being quickly hustled back out to race, Vergata inherited the lead but would
lose it to Talaska who spun on lap
18 bringing out the caution.
From there it was all Moyer,
who picked up his second feature
win of the season. When asked
about the confusion, Moyer commented, That was kind of crazy. We all thought the race was
over.
The second race was all Talaskas as he notched his third win of
the season after leading from start
to finish. A caution on the first
lap promoted him to the front row
and it was money in the bank for
the point leader.
I didnt mind getting moved
up to the front row after the caution, said Talaska, who admitted
a mistake in the first feature cost
him the overall win tonight.
Moyer added, This was a lot of
fun tonight. We werent going to
catch Cory in the second race, but
Im pretty happy.
Its a big night at MIS on Friday, June 27, when its Salute to
America Night featuring Thunder
Cat Fireworks and the areas biggest and best display plus the Big
8 Late Models, Great Northern
Sportsman Series, and Vintage
cars.
All military personnel (active or

Mike Barry (above) purchased a 16-year-old Clydesdale horse that

will pull a four-seater carriage. Below, Barry, his son Pat Barry,
as well as Stacey and Dave Anderson hitch Silas to the cart last
Thursday morning in the Barry Stables inside arena.

Silas takes Stacey and Dave Anderson, of Oregon, for a ride Thursday morning. The Clydesdale horse came from New York and was purchased by Mike Barry of Barry Stables, located at 5556 County Highway M in Fitchburg.
New addition to stable is hard to miss

VICTORIA VLISIDES
Mike Barry of Barry Stables got a new horse that

comes with a lot of history
and is hard to miss.
Silas, the 16-year-old,
1,800-pound Clydesdale
horse, hails from New York
and is now owned by Barry.
Silas came to the County
Hwy. M horse stable two
weeks ago and is adjusting
nicely to his new home.

Barry described him as a
kind and gentle horse
with a lot of experience
pulling carriages. He is
used to being one of the
two lead horses on the
8-horse hitch, Barry said.
Its kind of neat, said
Barry, who celebrated this
80th birthday this month.
I dont know, we might
even put him in a couple of
parades or something like
that.
Barry also said he
thought itd be nice to give
carriage rides with Silas
to clients who house their
horses there and friends.
Last Thursday, he was
hitched up for the first time
to a four-wheeled carriage
in the indoor arena at the
stable that houses about 35
horses.
Oregon residents Stacey
and Dave Anderson, who
are friends of Barrys and

have worked with Clydesdales for 30 years, helped
Barry get the horse hitched
up to the carriage thats
black and has red leather
seats and took him for a
spin around the arena.
Barrys son, Pat, who has
worked at the stables all his
life, took a drive, too.
Hes really responsive
for a big horse, said Pat, as
he drove the carriage.
Foster youth graduation event celebrates academic success

Sarah Welby of Oregon
High School was among a
group of 38 foster youths
honored this week at a
unique graduation party
hosted by the Wisconsin
Department of Children and
Families (DCF). First Lady
Tonette Walker and DCF
Secretary Eloise Anderson
presided over the celebration, held at the executive
residence, recognizing
former foster youth who
recently graduated from
high school or completed
milestones in post-secondary education.
While most of the
students at the ceremony

were celebrating their graduation from high school,
two students celebrated
completion of their Bachelors Degrees.
According to a press
release from the Wisconsin Department of Children
and Families, youth in foster care often face significant obstacles in achieving
academic success. Nationally, with around 54 percent graduating from high
school, only 2 percent will
go to college.
Most suffer not only
the loss of their biological
family, but have had to

face multiple foster home
moves, changes in case
workers and being uprooted
from friends and schools.
On average, foster kids will
move six times between
kindergarten and 12th
grade.
Anderson said the students deserve to be recognized for their academic
achievements.
They are shining examples that despite whatever
hardships a person might
face, you can still achieve
your goals through hard
work, determination and

perseverance, she said.
For more information on
Wisconsins foster care services or to find out how to
become a foster parent, visit
the Department of Children
and Families website at dcf.
wisconsin.gov/children/foster/ or visit the Coalition for
Children, Youth and Families website to learn more

Storm campaign at fosterparentsrock.org.

20 June 26, 2014 Oregon Observer

Chief: Pettit is currently on medical leave from the village
further from the truth, he
said. Ive been a police
chief in this community for
29 years, and Ive always
put the communitys interest before mine or before
the police departments, for
that matter, and thats the
way Ive always policed
this community.
Dregnes presentation
noted the club has had 344
incident reports requiring a
law enforcement response
between 2006 and May of
this year. That included 59
reports in 2013 and 25 incidents as of May 27.
Village President Steve
Staton told the Observer
that Pettit should have
reported that information
to the Village Board but
chose not to.
It raises questions
about why the Oregon
Police Department hadnt
informed the village board
about all these incidences
over the years, Staton said.
Statons complaints to
the Observer noted that
the club had been raided
by the state Department of
Revenue in 2012.
The board should have
been informed of that right
away, he said. And at the
very least, at the time of the
annual renewal of liquor
licenses in June, the chief

of police should have been
reporting these things to the
board.
Pettit is on medical leave
from the village and said he
doesnt want to get into a
back and forth over the
villages decision to deny
the Union Sports Club a
liquor license.
But he felt it was important to explain a few things.
He said there was no
defined procedure in terms
of reviewing the liquor
license what we provided
the Village Board every
June when theyre reviewing liquor licenses for any
facility.
It is part of our review
of all of the establishments
in the Village of Oregon
that has a liquor license to
make the board aware of
any concerns or problems
that exist, Pettit said.
He didnt make a point
of emphasizing the sports
clubs history, he said,
because the number of incidents reported to the police
didnt seem excessive, given the number of people
who attended large dances
held there usually on Sunday nights.
The clubs dances were
often attended by 300 or
400 people, Pettit said, and
ConnectOregonWI.com
I dont want anybody to take this that Im

criticizing the Village Boards actions Im
not. I dont know that the Village Board is
being advised in a way that is in the best
interest of the village right now.
Doug Pettit

sometimes more.
Pettit stressed that he is
not criticizing the board for
its decision.
Im just stating that I
didnt think that was excessive and others do, he
explained. This is based
on my experience and what
Ive seen in other operations that hold large numbers of people.
He believes the club was
the most heavily regulated business in the village.
Oregon police officers were
routinely hired to work
off-duty to supplement the

clubs own private security
personnel.
Pettit said police probably knew more about what
happened at the Union
Sports Club than at other
businesses in the village
that sell alcohol.
We dont know because
were not there, he said.
Pettit explained that when
determining whether a business is a public nuisance,
it also is based on what type
of cooperation are you getting from the liquor license
holder or the owner of the

business or the agent.
He said the clubs former
owner, Jose Alfredo Razo,
was always cooperative
with Oregon police and
willing to make whatever
changes they recommended.
Dregne also told the Village Board last week that
the DOR inspected the
business last month and
revoked its sellers permit.
But the operation continued
to sell alcohol.
He noted the DOR allegedly found illegal gambling machines and sales
of liquor and beer acquired
from an unauthorized
source.
Pettit said he was never
informed of the DORs raid
of the business in 2012, nor
of its inspection in May.
I agree the DOR
should have notified the
village, he said. If they
dont contact us, how
would we know?
Pettit said hed had
numerous conversations
with the village administrator about the facility
and had also invited board
members over the years to
visit the club, but only two
ever took him up on the
offer.
I dont want anybody to
take this that Im criticizing
the Village Boards actions
Im not, he said.
But, he added, I dont
know that the Village Board
is being advised in a way
that is in the best interest of
the village right now.
Village administrator
Mike Gracz did not return
phone calls seeking a comment before press time
Tuesday, nor did Village
President Staton.

The WAMI Showcase
Thanks to a $19,222 state

grant, the Oregon School
Districts Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) will take
another step forward for the
2014-15 school year.
According to a press
release last week from the
Wisconsin Department of
Public Instruction, the district was one of 15 chosen to
receive the one-time funding, which will help enhance
STEM offerings for students
in grades K-5, said state
superintendent Tony Evers.
STEM education is
vital to our students and
the future, he said. These
courses take an innovative
approach to engage, motivate and inspire students to
spark their interest in careers
in science technology, engineering and mathematics.

These fields hold so much
potential as the source of
innovation and entrepreneurship that drive economic
development and the knowledge-based economy.
The program requires
that the districts provide a
matching amount equal to
25 percent of the grant, and
evidence of sustainability
beyond the grant was also
part of the evaluation process, Evers said, with 70
districts applying for funding. Grant applications were
based on a needs assessment
and included measurable
objectives and a process for
identifying school and student participants.
Demand for funding
to expand student access
to STEM coursework was
strong, he said.

Gerald F. Peterson
Gerald F. Peterson, age
82, entered into eternal
peace surrounded by his
adoring family on Sunday,
June 22, 2014. He was born
on July 28, 1931, on a farm
in Morris, Ill., the son of
the late Martin and Agnes
Peterson.
Jerry graduated from
Lewis High School and
attended one year at Lewis
College before the call of
the river just became too
strong to ignore. Typical
of the high achievement
that punctuated his life,
he became
the youngest Captain on the upper
Illinois River at the age of
19. He later graduated from
Lewis University. Jerry met
the love of his life, Barbara Frobish, in February
of 1951, and for the next
63 years they built a life
together that was filled with
love and adventure.
In his journey Jerry
became a stock car driver,
a golden gloves boxer, and
a pilot just to name a few.
Most of all he loved and
lived for his family. Jerry
never missed a baseball
game, recital, volleyball
game, or anything else that
his children or grandchildren were involved in. He
SELL IT
NOW
Gerald F. Peterson
In his younger years
was ALWAYS there.

Jerry served his country
for six years in the U.S.
Navy before entering the
corporate world and earning many awards and promotions. His greatest passion and joy in the business
world was the company
that he founded later in life,
Ampro Data Services. Jerry
relished the relationships
that he built through the
business and treated everyone to a funny story or one
of his famous jokes. He was
especially proud that he
built Ampro with the help
of his daughter and grandchildren and everyday at
Ampro was like Christmas
morning to him. Jerrys
beloved company will continue in honor of him.
Jerry is survived by his
wife and soulmate, Barbara; children, Mark (Cindy)
Peterson of Oregon, Kim

(Ray) Doyle of Oregon, Karen Larson of Lodi, and Mitch
(Jill) Peterson of Clearwater
Fla.; ten grandchildren; and
five great-grandchildren.
He is now with his grandson who is already with the
Lord.
Jerry will also be missed
by his loyal friend Bentley,
the wonder dog.
Funeral services will be
held at St. Johns Lutheran
Church, 625 E. Netherwood
St., Oregon, at 11 a.m., on
Saturday, June 28, 2014.
Visitation will be held at
the church from 5 p.m. to
7 p.m. on Friday, June 27,
2014, and from 10 a.m.
until the time of the service on Saturday. In lieu of
flowers, please direct donations to St. Johns Lutheran
Church and Lutherdale

The Headliners 4-H Club makes fun items like silly putty and play-dough over their spring break to donate to the Rainbow Project of
Madison. Pictured in the group photo are Claire Michels, Liz Grady, Amelia Spilde, Samantha Derricks, Russell Outhouse, Grace Bergeland,

Headliners 4-H Club service project benefits local kids

This year for the endowment project the Oregon
Headliners 4-H club chose
the Rainbow Project.
The Rainbow Project is
a local organization that
helps kids and their families get though traumatic
times through play and art

therapy. It also has other
programs for teachers and
Spanish speakers.
The club helped the
Rainbow Project by making watercolor paint, finger
paint, play dough and silly
putty. They also bought

them games, and everyone
in the club donated soothing CDs and Kleenex.
After finishing the project
during spring break, they
dropped off the supplies
at the Rainbow Projects

Oregon bookworms have

another resource for finding
and sharing their favorite
reads.
The Planert family,
including parents Ryan and
Carrie and their son Owen,
unveiled a new Little Free
Library May 31 at 567 Hillcrest Drive.
Little Free Libraries are
small boxes, often creatively designed, that offer
an opportunity for people
to drop off and pick up any
books they want.
The project originally
began in 2010 in Madison
and has grown across the
United States and around
world.
The new Oregon LFL
is stewarded by Lorraine
Frederickson, and was
designed by Bruce Planert
of Appleton.
Frederickson said in a
news release she expects
the LFL to occasionally
include themed kits, like
gardening books with seed
packets, or seasonal books
such as Halloween books
for kids in October.
For more information on
LFL, visit littlefreelibrary.
