Tom Bowers, who has been a firefighter for 23 years, took over as chief of the Town of Brooklyn department in January. Bowers said he hopes to continue the tradition established by longtime chief Phil Mortensen.

Answering the call

Bowers settling in as new fire chief

Experienced firefighter says officers are

reviewing department policies
BILL LIVICK
Unified Newspaper Group

After serving as a volunteer

firefighter in Brooklyn since
2009, Tom Bowers took over
as the villages fire chief in
January this year.
Bowers had been a lieutenant and assistant chief with
the Brooklyn Fire Department and stepped up to fill a
vacancy at the top when former chief Leif Spilde decided
he could no longer make the
time commitment. That commitment included an officer
core review of the Fire Departments policies and procedures
in light of a 2012 dispute with
the Oregon Police Department,
something Bowers said he and
the officer core are continuing.

Spilde continues to work for

the department as a lieutenant.
He became fire chief after the
December 2012 death of the
departments longtime chief,
Phil Mortensen, who had
worked as a firefighter for 38
years.
Bowers told the Observer he
hopes to continue a tradition
that Mortensen started when
he created a fantastic fire
department and built a fantastic fire station.
Theres nobody that will
ever be able to fill his shoes,
but were trying to carry on
the tradition of the Brooklyn
Fire Department in his memory, Bowers said. He built
it all. Were just continuing
what he started.
Bowers has been a

firefighter for 23 years. He

worked on the City of Fitchburg Fire Department for 18
years before moving to the
Town of Brooklyn in 2008.
As Brooklyns fire chief,
Bowers is in charge of about
30 firefighters all volunteers.
He said Mortensen provided
a terrific example of how to
work with a volunteer staff.
Even with all the time I
spent in the fire service, I
dont know that theres anybody that I respected more,
Bowers said of Mortensen.
When youre dealing with a
volunteer department, everybodys there because they
want to.
Its not a job where you
can discipline people, he
continued, and Phil was just
excellent at being able to deal
with folks in a way where he
maintained the discipline of
the department but yet was

your friend also. Thats what

kept people coming back.

Serving the community

Bowers thinks theres no
better way to serve a community than to work on its Fire
Department and help people in
need. He admits it takes a special kind of person to do the
job well.
Hes also an EMT firstresponder, but in Brooklyn the
EMS and Fire Department are
separate entities.
We all have other full-time
jobs and leave those jobs when
were called out, Bowers
explained. We spend a lot of
time training and getting the
certification we need.
Theres an enormous
amount of paperwork that
goes along with being the
chief of the department,

Village officials had hoped to begin construction on the first phase of the Oregon
to Badger State Trail bike path in June, but
those plans are on hold while the village
waits for the county.
On Monday, public works director Mark
Below said the village is still awaiting Dane
Countys approval for the stormwater management aspect of the construction plan.
Hopefully thatll get done this week, and
we can begin next week, Below told the
Observer.
Village President Steve Staton introduced
the idea of building the 3.1-mile recreation
trail about four years ago. At the time, village administrator Mike Gracz predicted
that building the trail would be more challenging and take longer than building a new
road.
Time has proved him correct.
The total trail cost is estimated at
$819,000.
The first segment of the trail would
extend 1.8 miles from the Alpine Business

Legal battle brewing over CARPC budget request

SCOTT DE LARUELLE
Unified Newspaper Group

County officials have called

out the Capital Area Regional
Planning Commission (CARPC) and initiated legal action
after the commission recently
voted for a significant increase
in its 2015 budget that county
officials say is against the law.
CARPC, which serves as
the regional planning and
water quality management
planning entity for the county,
voted 8-3 for just over $1.3
million in funding for 2015
at its July 10 meeting, a significant increase of around
$600,000 from this years
budget. CARPC is governed
by a policy board with 13
appointed commissioners.
In response, the Dane
County Board, responsible for
funding the commission, last
week unanimously approved a
resolution deeming the budget
request unreasonable, laying out the grounds for a legal
challenge to what amounts to
a 76 percent increase.
County Board Chair Sharon
Corrigan said the board is in
no position to add another
$600,000 in taxes.
State levy limits would
force us to make cuts in other
departments, in a year when
were already looking at
cuts, Corrigan said.
The resolution states that
the increase is unreasonable
because the budget change is
greater than whats authorized
by the county panel responsible for determining CARPCs budget, which is both
a violation of its own bylaws
and that of the charter resolution. It further states that the
commissions annual budget
increases are subject to any
levy limitations which apply
to Dane County and limits its
budget charge to a maximum
of .0017 percent of Dane

Countys equalized value.

CARPCs blatant disregard of the expectations of
the communities who worked
to establish it undermines the
goals that CARPC purports to
serve, the resolution reads,
noting that the board has
directed its corporation counsel to initiate legal action to
challenge the commissions
budget certification.

Strong words
County Executive Joe Parisi called the CARPCs action
illegal and insulting. In a
letter to county board members, he said the county will
hold the organization accountable.
At a time when county
workers can voluntarily agree
to pay reductions and our
managers are building budgets based on current revenues, CARPCs actions are
inexcusable and ignore the
reality facing every other unit
of local government, the letter read.
In a letter to CARPC members, Parisi expressed astonishment and dismay over the
vote to increase the countys
levy charge for the commission, and asked the group to
hold an emergency session to
rescind its actions.
This action was not only
illegal, it was irresponsible
and, quite frankly, insulting to every elected official
in Dane County government
who works tirelessly every
year to find budget solutions
that allow us to provide critical services to residents of our
community, he said. Perhaps the commissioners who
voted for this 80 percent levy
increase could also suggest
which departments we should
now de-fund to pay for your
suggested increase in CARPCs budget: Child Protective Services, 911, Highway?

What is CARPC?
The Capital Area Regional Planning Commission,
which covers cities and villages with incorporated
areas in Dane County, is governed by a policy
board with 13 commissioners four appointed
by the Madison mayor, three by the Dane County
executive, three by the Dane County Cities and
Villages Association and three by the Dane
County Towns Association. Created in 2007, it
serves as the regional planning and water quality
management planning entity for the county,
tasked with preparing and adopting a master
plan for developing and maintaining water quality
management planning process to manage, protect,
and enhance the water resources of the region,
including consideration of the relationship of water
quality to land and water resources and uses,
according to its website.

Should we de-fund the newly

established non-mandated
school mental health crisis
teams the county is funding
in Verona, Sun Prairie and
Madison?

Going too far?

Forbes McIntosh, spokesperson for the Dane County
Cities and Villages Association, said while the group was
scheduled to meet Wednesday to talk about the situation
and come up with a response,
he said Parisi and the county
board are overstating the case,
noting that a majority of county representatives on CARPC
voted for the increase.
(They) like to say, a 76
percent increase, and the
number sounds huge, but
100 percent of a dollar is just
another dollar, McIntosh
said.
McIntosh said part of
the increase is for hiring an
executive director, which the
organization has gone without since its inception in 2007.
He said the fact that CARPC

still doesnt have an executive

director after seven years is
obvious evidence the county has not adequately funded
the organization.
CARPC staff arent being
paid the same rate as Dane
County employees of the
same education or qualification, experience or position,
McIntosh said. We need to
have responsible and timely
regional planning. Water
quality is a priority in this area
and we need to start treating it
as a priority.
While he said possible legal
action by the county is not
surprising, he said he didnt
like some of the terms being
used.
I dont like throwing
around words like illegal,
he said. It is reasonable or
unreasonable thats the statute test they can challenge,
then its up to an arbitration
panel.
I dont think theres anything theyve done that technically is illegal, but well find
out from a judge.

committee for a second

look. He argued that the
denial by town and county officials flouts a 2013
change in state law that
prohibits municipalities
from refusing new broadcast towers unless they
would harm public health
or safety.
But opponents have said
the tower would fly in the
face of a separate statute
limiting how land zoned
exclusively for agriculture
should be used.
The board approved the
ZLR committee recommendation to deny the
rezoning by a voice vote.
Earlier this summer,
Magnums attorneys indicated that a lawsuit could
be next. The company
last year unsuccessfully
sued in Dane County Circuit Court to overturn the
town and countys 2011
rejection of its plans, but
they feel the 2013 change
in state law could work in
their favor.

A proposal to build a
radio tower in the Town
of Rutland was shot down
again last week by county
officials.
For the second time
in three years, the Dane
County Board of Supervisors voted last Thursday
not to rezone 15.5 acres
of land near Old Stage
Road where Tomah-based
Magnum Communications
wants to erect a 486-foot
tower to service Stoughtons first FM radio station.
In a move that was
largely expected, the
board backed earlier votes
by Town of Rutland leaders and a county committee not to rezone the property owned by long-time
area farmers and siblings
David Soldwedel and Sue
Wollin.
Before the vote, Magnums attorney, Michael
Screnock, told the board
they should send the issue
back to the countys zoning and land regulation

Letters to the editor

Ringhand deserves to serve in senate

The 15th Senate District will be
best represented by Janis Ringhand.
Janis has a proven track record
through her service as Evansvilles mayor and Alderwoman
and in the State Assembly for
steadfastly advocating for all of
her constituents regardless of
political affiliation.
Janis is one of the few politicians in our state (and country
for that matter) who serves the
best interests of each of her constituents by thoroughly researching issues and voting for what is
best for the district she serves
as a whole and not based on

party lines. Janis has historically

worked cooperatively with her
colleagues in the State Assembly
including those from other political parties to draft legislation that
is in the best interest of our state.
How refreshing!
Not only do we need Janis in
the 15th Senate District, we need
more politicians with her work
ethic and cooperative mindset in
all levels of government.
Please join me in voting for
Janis Ringhand on Aug. 12.
Margery Tibbetts-Wakefield

Give Sheridan another shot in Senate

I am very concerned about the

future of our Senate District 15.
We need the most experienced
person, the best leader, the best
communicator, and the most energetic and hard-working candidate
possible and that is Mike Sheridan.
We need someone who has both
great leadership experience and a
great future in out district -- someone with good relationships with
the business, labor, and agricultural communities in our district and
across the state.

Mike has the most experience;

He served in the Assembly for 3
terms and was elected unanimously Speaker of the Assembly: He
earned the vote of both Democrats and Republicans. He has the
ability to work across the aisle
something we desperately need in
these hard times.
Please join me in voting for
Mike Sheridan for Senate District
15 - our home district.

Something is always happening

at the Oregon Public Library

hen I was hired as

library director in
2009, one of the tasks
requested by the Library Board
of Trustees was that I work on
making the building more welcoming to the public.
Over the last few years, you
may have noticed parts of the
buildings interior have been
painted, the circulation desk was
redesigned and the vaulted ceiling and the lobby ceiling tiles
were replaced with acoustical
tiles.
You might remember how
loud it used to be a conversation on one
side of the
building could
be heard on
the opposite
side. A group
of people walking through the
lobby sounded
very similar to
Santner
a herd of wildebeest.
There are still pockets of ceiling tiles that need to be replaced.
They are on my list. Everything
takes time.
This year, we have replaced
the overhead lights with energyefficient ones. Thankfully,
everyone can now see the books
they are looking for and there is
no buzzing or flickering of the
lights over the service desks and
Internet stations.
As many of you may have
noticed, the book drop was
replaced this past spring. The
old one was original to the
building, which was built in
1995. It created a draft all year
round letting in all kinds of
weather and it closed with loud
clang. The noise was very disconcerting during meetings and
programs.
Even worse, if it had rained
the night before, all the returned
items would be damp. The
library needed a more energyefficient model, one that would
also discourage vandalism.
There are now two slots for
returning library materials,
rather than the big pull-down
drawer. One is for media and
the other is for books. When the
library materials arrive inside

the building they now land into

a padded separated bin.
Yes, it is true people must now
separate their returns before putting them into the return. I am
sorry for any inconvenience. But
its worth the trouble; believe
me, because the heavier books
are no longer falling and crushing the more delicate DVDs and
CDs. There is cost savings on
ordering replacements. Weve
even added an outdoor security
camera.
There have also been many
other small changes throughout
the library, such as the projector
screen in the Sue Ames Room,
additional Internet stations and
the beautiful etched glass window effect in the adult quiet
reading area. The children now
have a cozy reading nook that
was painted by local artist Cheryl Adams, who is also a member
of the library staff. Most of
these changes were funded by
the Friends of the Library and
through donations from generous library users.
I want people to have positive
memories of the Oregon Public
Library. This is a start. There is
still much to do.
It reminds me of one of my
favorite quotes from Maya
Angelou: Ive learned that
people will forget what you said,
people will forget what you did,
but people will never forget how
you made them feel.
One of the most exciting
changes to the library will be
arriving soon.
A generous family whose
children grew up in Oregon and
used the library will be donating a large bronze statue of two
children reading in memory of
their parents who loved reading.
It will be installed sometime this
summer.
I believe this will be one of
the first pieces of public art in
the Village of Oregon. Once
again, the Friends of the Library
have offered to help with the
landscaping around the statue.
Everyone is very excited. So
make frequent visits to the
library to see if the statue has
arrived.
Summer is actually a wonderful time of year to visit the

library, anyway. The four Summer Reading Programs are in

full swing. There is fun and
excitement and there are programs and prizes to be earned
for all ages.
Registration opened June 9
and the programs run through
Aug. 23. Stop in and register at
the summer reading desk, where
we have brochures for all four
programs, or you can register
online at oregonlibrary.org
One new program I would like
to highlight for the little ones
ages 0-3 is the Rubber Ducky
Club. While their older siblings
are reading and earning prizes,
the little ones can also earn ageappropriate prizes just by having
someone read to them.
The Rubber Ducky Club helps
build early literacy skills in
children by encouraging a love
of language and books. Studies
have shown that babies, toddlers and preschoolers with an
environment rich in sounds, letters and listening to books enter
school ready to learn.
Even moms and dads can join
in the summer fun by reading
to their kids. After all, parents
and caregivers are the best first
teachers. Kids that are read to
grow up to be readers themselves. If you can read, the
world is an open book.
Our readers this summer will
not only be developing their
reading skills but will also be
supporting families in need in
the Oregon community. When a
reading log is completed a dime
will be donated by the Friends to
Oregon Food Pantry.
I would also like to thank the
Oregon/Brooklyn Lions Club
and the Oregon Rotary Club for
their support of library programming. The staff would not be
able to reach our goal of sharing
the importance of literacy without your support.
Another favorite quote of
mine is from Maria Robinson:
Nobody can go back and start a
new beginning, but anyone can
start today and make a new ending.
So start reading today.
Susan Santner is the director
of the Oregon Public Library.

Village of Brooklyn

Dollar General
opens in Brooklyn
SCOTT GIRARD
Unified Newspaper Group

Village of Brooklyn residents have a new option for

last-minute gifts, household accessories and other
knick-knacks with a new
Dollar General store.
The store opened its
doors July 4 after purchasing the land at 303 Douglas
Drive from Union Bank and
Trust late last fall, Village
President Nadine Walsten
told the Observer.
Walsten said the village
did not have to get involved
in the process to recruit
Dollar General to come to
Brooklyn, instead finding
the company was strongly
interested thanks to the size
and location of the community.
They look at villages

like Brooklyn that have a

need for the kind of store
that they have, Walsten
said. The kind of research
they do is to look for communities that would really benefit from having a
store.
And those benefits will
be many, Walsten said,
especially having the convenience factor of a store
in the village.
The Dollar General will
provide products that normally we would have to
drive to Oregon for, she
said. That will be a real
advantage.
Dollar General will have
around 12 employees,
according to the villages
July newsletter.
The store is open from 8
a.m. to 10 p.m. seven days
a week.

a bit more state aid to add
to its budgeting for the
2014-15 school year. In
numbers released earlier
this month by the Wisconsin Department of Public
Instruction, the state projects to increase its general aid by 3.73 percent,
up to $19.3 million. In
the 2013-14 school year,
OSD received $18.6 million in state aid.
OSD finance director
Kara Newton said the district had not yet projected

for the state aid, and will

use the DPI estimate as it
moves forward in its budget process. The district
will hold its annual meeting in September, she
said.
Statewide, 53 percent
of districts are expected
to receive more aid than
in 2013-14, while the other 47 percent can expect a
decrease. Total state aid
is expected to increase to
$4.5 billion for the 201415 school year; a 2.1 percent increase compared to
2013-14.
Official state aid numbers will be finalized Oct.
15.

Sectarian Violence and True Religion

The history of organized religion is filled with what can only be
described as sectarian or partisan violence. There have been
disagreements from the beginning of Christianity over what
should constitute the correct form of both practice and belief.
And these disagreements are only natural: when finite, fallible
human beings try to determine what their infinite, infallible God
expects of them, there is going to be disagreement. But, wise
men and women should realize this and not let these disagreements turn to armed conflict and bloodshed. Sadly, this sort
of religious violence has been all too common. Catholics and
Protestants waged a series of wars for much of the 16th and
17th century. Shia and Sunni Muslims have waged war against
each other for centuries, and of course there seems to be no
end in sight to the violence which Muslims and Jews perpetrate against each other in the Mid-East. This is most unfortunate, since we all claim to believe in a loving and merciful God
who abhors violence and the spilling of innocent blood. We
should pray for peace among all of Gods children and do what
we can in our lives to foster a spirit of religious unity.
- Christopher Simon via Metro New Service
For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one
body, whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free, and we were
all given the one Spirit to drink.
1 Corinthians 12:13

The Oregon Public Library held its first LEGO Creations Expo on Thursday, July 17. There were 37 entries in four categories: kindergarten to first
grade, second to third grade, fourth to sixth grade and team/family. Judges for the original creations were officer Cindy Neubert, Chamber of
Commerce president Judy Knutson and architect Arlan Kay. Winners from each category received a LEGO trophy, and all participants received a
certificate and brick candy. Above, Anthony Kopp, 7, of Brooklyn, browses the LEGO entries, including one entitled Bat Jet.

were political newcomers.

Uphoff, who previously

served on the board from
1993 to 2002 and already
enjoyed some name recognition with voters, said
he was trying to keep his
campaign spending under
$1,000, but had to go over
that amount to share advertising costs with the two
other challengers.
I made a personal commitment to try to keep
the amount down, he
said. I think you can do a
campaign without spending a lot of money. It just
requires some shoe leather,
and more contact.

Oregon 10U Americans Caleb Adams scores a run on

an RBI single by Eli Hauffle in the bottom of the fourth
last Saturday against Madison East.

Oregon Youth Baseball held its

annual 13U, 12U, 11U and 10U tournament at Oregon High School, Jaycee Park and McGaw Park (Fitchburg)
last weekend, and the 10U Oregon
National (team photo on page 10) won
the championship.

The 10U team defeated Sun Prairie

7-4 in the title game, and it defeated
Elkhorn in the semifinals.
The 13U Oregon National team
made the quarterfinals before falling
to Grand Chute in the quarterfinals.
Reedsburg won the 13U tournament.
Middleton won both the 11U and
12U titles.

Sundays 6-3 win at Monroe puts the Oregon Home

Talent team (7-8) in a tie for
sixth place in the Western
Section playoff race with Hollandale (7-8).
With one game left in the
regular season, the Orioles
can secure a No. 6 seed for
the playoffs with a win over
Ridgeway (6-9) at 1 p.m.
Sunday at home.
Ridgeway defeated Oregon
6-4 on May 11, but Manager/
player Tom Curtis said that
Oregon is a different team
with a fuller lineup and more
experience.
A loss doesnt eliminate the
Orioles from the playoffs, but
Oregon is playing to win.

in, Curtis said. We would
take a playoff spot any way
we would get it, but we would
like to have some momentum
going in.
And if Oregon can secure
the sixth spot, it most likely
will play Mount Horeb/Pine

Environmental issue
along rail corridor
Thiel also asked the
board at its June 16 meeting
to look into a problem he
noticed along the rail corridor through the village.
He complained that someone, presumably the railroad company that owns the
line, had gone along both
sides of the railroad track
and created an appalling
mess by shredding trees

and brush, and in the process destroying 60-some

songbird nests.
For a citizen to interfere
with that many songbirds is
a felony, Thiel said at the
June meeting. This is our
community. I wish there
was a better approach.
Trustee Jeff Boudreau
asked that the matter be
put on the boards July 7
meeting agenda. At that
meeting, Boudreau asked
the village for some sort
of formal action to show

that were paying attention,

and we dont appreciate it.
He asked if the village
could send a letter to the
rail company expressing
our displeasure.
Staton agreed, and said
he would personally call
Ken Lucht, representative
of Wisconsin & Southern
Railroad, to discuss the
issue.
The board agreed to
revisit the matter at its July
28 meeting.

Also last week, the board

heard from businessman
Jerry Thiel that work the
village performed to prevent water leaking into his
Masons On Main restaurant was successful.
Village workers removed
sidewalk on South Main
Street in front of the buildings at 113 and 119 S. Main
St. to allow a contractor
access to the problem area.
Thiel said they discovered areas beneath the sidewalk and near the building walls that were open
cavities. Those voids were
filled, and the contractor waterproofed exposed
parts of the building. Thiel
thanked the Village Board
for its help in fixing the
problem.

A lifetime of achievement
Oregons Latimer honored by United Way

For more than 33 years,

Jim Latimer has volunteered around the Oregon
area, helping to make
beautiful music, with no
signs of letting down.
That didnt stop the
United Way from honoring him with a Distinguished Service Award
for Lifetime Achievement at the recent United
Way Community Volunteer Awards in Madison.
In addition to Latimer, a
dozen individuals, groups,
businesses and organizations were honored for
having the greatest impact
in the Dane County area.
During his decades of
work with the Capitol City
Band Association and as
music director/conduc tor of the VFW Volunteer
Band, Latimer has programmed and conducted
a band of volunteer community musicians in up to
20 free concerts each year.
But his volunteer work
doesnt stop when the
music ends.
Latimer also edits and
produces video recordings
of concerts that broadcast on five community
access television stations,
and works with the parks
department to allow easy
access for those who are
less able to commute. If
commuting isnt an option,
he works with activity
directors of care facilities
and senior centers to bring
live music to them.
His nominator, Nancy
Riesch Flannery, said,
Jim is just an ordinary
man who finds in his
heart the courage to do

United Way of Dane
County President and
CEO Leslie Ann Howard
said the
nearly 100 nominees
this year collectively provided more than 45,492
hours of community service in the past year, with

$1 million.
By providing so many
hours of support and serving in so many roles within organizations our community has become better
educated, safer and healthier, she said.

An appreciation for the
school janitor: George
Theobald, who has been the
faithful and efficient janitor
of the school building for a
number of years, was given
a very pleasant surprise one
day during commencement
week. He was called into
the opera house and ushered
onto the stage where he was
presented with a beautiful
rocking chair by the senior
class. The gift was a token
of esteem and respect.
It was reported that the
Oregon Telephone Company had strung a cable
along Janesville Street.
The cable, with 52 pairs
of wires, is large enough
to take care of the increasing business for years to
come. It was stated that this
was only one of the many
improvements made to the
system since the Pease boys
had taken over the plant.
Criddle & Kellor
installed a new gasoline
pump in front of their
garage. The pump, standing between the sidewalk

tank buried in the ground. It
was noted that this arrangement is the latest development for gasoline retailers,
providing convenience and
simplicity in handling the
oil (gasoline). It does away
with the old way of measuring and lessens waste.

Oregon teen a Miss Wisconsin finalist Bowers: New chief reviewing policies
Continued from page 1

Lorenz to compete
next month in
Wisconsin Dells
Jessica Lorenz, 13, of
Oregon, has been selected as a state finalist in
the National American
Miss Wisconsin Pageant
to be held Aug. 24-25 at
the Chula Vista Resort in
Wisconsin Dells.
The National American
Miss pageants are held
for girls ages 4-18 and
have five different age
divisions. Lorenz, who
will be an eighth-grader
at Oregon Middle School
this fall, will participate in
the preteen age division.
Her activities include participating in the school
choir, playing the alto
saxophone and maintaining high honor roll grades.
She also enjoys playing
competitive soccer, horseback riding, camping,
reading and spending time
with friends and family.
Lorenzs sponsors
include Dairy Queen on
Mineral Point Rd., Dream
Closets, Unwind Therapeutic Massage, Associated Machinery Sales,
Wicked Maintenance
Solutions and family and
friends.
The winner of the pageant will receive a $1,000
cash award, the official
crown and banner, a bouquet of roses and air transportation to compete in
the national pageant in

Bowers said.
Youre dealing with
everything from maintenance of the building and
the vehicles to personnel
issues, he noted. Everything pretty much goes
through the chief.
Along with the paperwork, one night each week
is dedicated to training.
Bowers, married and a
father of three, said it takes
an understanding family to
put up with a husband and
father who holds a fulltime job and also works for
the Fire Department.
In his day job, Bowers
is the fleet manager for the
State of Wisconsin Department of Administration and
is in charge of approximately 1,500 state-owned
vehicles, he said.

Policy review

Photo submitted

Jessica Lorenz, 13, of Oregon, has been selected as a state finalist in the National American Miss Wisconsin Pageant to be held
Aug. 24-25 at the Chula Vista Resort in Wisconsin Dells.

California, where she will

receive a complimentary
Tour of Hollywood and
two V.I.P. tickets to Disneyland.
Lorenzs mother Sandra
said the whole family is
excited about the opportunity.
She participated last

year as well, and shes

looking forward to this
year, and being in some
new competitions, she
said. Its just a fun experience, and she enjoys
meeting the girls from
all over Wisconsin. Its a
good time.

With more than six

months under his belt as
fire chief, Bowers and the
departments officer core
are reviewing the departments policies and procedures.
That process began in
2012 after an incident
reported by the Observer.
Brooklyn firefighter/
EMT Dan Dean received a
pager alert while filling his
gas tank in Oregon and he
sped off to respond.
On his way to the Brooklyn Fire Station, Dean
turned on a flashing light
in his personal vehicle and
also exceeded the speed
limit. Oregon police officer

Photo by Samantha Christian

Village of Brooklyn fire chief Tom Bowers also works as a fleet

manager for the Wisconsin Department of Administration.

Ted Gilbertson noted that

Dean was speeding and
pursued him, with his siren
going and lights flashing.
But Dean failed to pull
over because he felt he was
responding to an emergency.
Both vehicles arrived
at the Brooklyn Fire Station, where the Gilbertson
ordered Dean to remain in
his car and approached the
drivers side with his pistol
drawn.
A squad car video of the

adno=359802-01

incident showed Gilbertson pointing his gun and

placing it inside the open
drivers side window, just
inches from Deans head.
The men talked, and Gilbertson then withdrew his
pistol, defused the situation
and left without issuing a
citation.
About three weeks later,
Gilbertson asked Dean to
come to the Oregon Police
Department, where he
issued Dean a ticket for
failing to yield to a police
officer.
Dean fought the charge,
which was eventually dismissed by a judge in Dane
County Circuit Court. He
also filed a claim against
the Village of Oregon for
excessive use of force,
which he eventually
dropped.
At the time, Chief
Mortensen defended
Deans actions and criticized Oregon police for
interfering with a firefighter responding to a call.
Mortensen died about six
weeks after the Observer
first reported the incident.
Spilde then took over as
fire chief and said the officer core would be reviewing the incident, along with
all of the departments
policies such as allowing a firefighter to exceed
the posted speed limit when
responding to an emergency.
In an interview, Bowers
said that review of policies
is ongoing.
At this time, the officer
core is reviewing all of our
policies because many of
the policies that have been
on the books eventually
get outdated as technology changes and as personnel changes, Bowers
explained.
When firefighters are
responding in their personal vehicles, theyre advised
to follow all traffic regulations and get to the station safely, he added. If
theyre involved in an accident on the way to the station, theyre not helping the
situation at all.
So until we actually get
policies that we can enforce
and deal with, my message
to the members is follow
all the traffic laws and get
to the station safely.
