Seventeen months after vot-
ers shot down a $33 million
referendum, Oregon School
District officials are showing
a sense of urgency Monday
about trying again.
I n Mar ch, t he Or egon
School Board approved a
report listing up to $60 mil-
lion in potential upgrades to
local schools. But since then,
the group hasnt nailed down
a plan for when it might try
another referendum or which
projects would be included.
Board members signaled
Monday that time is wasting.
We are missing out on the
opportunity of a lifetime,
said board member Lee Chris-
tensen, noting that the low

creeping up. Our window of

A financial cloud and rumors of foreclosure have hung over the Oregon Community Sports Arena (which the interior of is shown here) for much of the past year.
However, things are looking brighter for the Oregon sports arena in recent weeks.
No more thin ice
Banks debt forgiveness, refinancing key Oregon Ice Arena survival
Bill livick
A financial cloud and
rumors of foreclosure have
hung over t he Oregon
Community Sports Arena
for much of the past year.
Both disappeared this
week with the news that
ownership of the indoor ice
skating facility will soon
change hands and that the
State Bank of Cross Plains
has agreed to refinance its
mortgage and forgive a
significant portion of the
debt.
Actual numbers were
unavailable before papers
are signed.
Its been kind of com-
mon knowledge that the
rinks been in some finan-
cial trouble for a while,
said Jeff Madson, who
will lead the Oregon Ice
Arenas board of directors
when the facility changes
hands Monday.
Along with the change
in ownership, the facilitys
name will also transition
from the OCSA to the Ore-
gon Ice Arena.
F o u n d e r s o f t h e
42,000-square-foot build-
ing celebrated its open-
ing in October 2008 after
br eaki ng gr ound t hat
April. The facility, which
includes a 2,000-square-
foot community room and
a National Hockey League
regulation-size rink, cost
some $2.5 million to build.
But in the nearly five
years since building it with
mostly volunteer labor, the
OCSA board has found
itself struggling to make
the mortgage payments.
J e f f Gr o e n i e r , t h e
outgoing board of direc-
tors president and a key
person behind the plan-
ning and development of
the ice arena, said projec-
tions about the facilitys
revenues had been pretty
accurate but our costs and
i nt erest expenses were
higher than anticipated.
Thats why it was so hard
to get it to work out finan-
cially.
In addition to forgiv-
ing an undisclosed portion
of the facilitys debt, the
State Bank of Cross Plains
refinanced its loan so the
ice arenas monthly pay-
ments will be affordable.
This agreement will
meet the needs of our bank
and the ice arena, and also
of the user groups, which
in the end are the ones that
pay the bills, said Jim
Tubbs, president of the
State Bank of Cross Plains.

Soaking
It Up
Some farmers
fare well with
record rains
Seth Jovaag
Last year at this time, a bru-
tal drought and scorching tem-
peratures had farmers praying
for rain.
The prayers got answered
maybe a little too much,
j oked Dan OBri en, who
farms roughly 1,000 acres
with his brother, Mark, in the
Town of Oregon.
So far, 2013 has swayed to
another extreme, as the first
six months of the year were
the wettest on record in the
Madison area.

Winning!
Shadow Armada awards pile up
The local marching band contin-
ued its winning ways last weekend.
The Shadow Armada summer
marching band from Oregon High
School last Saturday claimed the
first-place trophy from the Mid-
America Competing Band Direc-
tors Association competition at the
University of Wisconsin-Whitewa-
ter.
The group also captured five
caption awards for music perfor-
mance, visual performance, visual
general effect, high percussion and
high color guard.
The band has won the MACB-
DA title almost every year since
2006. Led by director Nick Lane,
the group includes more than 100
students. This years routine was
titled Red Shift: The Music of
Astor Piazzolla.
Between June 21 and last week-
end, the group took first place in
every field competition it entered
this summer, winning competitions
in Racine, Milton, Traverse City,
Mich., Sun Prairie, Fort Atkinson,
Appleton and Greendale, accord-
ing to the MACBDA website.

Walker visit greeted with protests
About 30 people protested last
Thursday outside The Legend at
Bergamont golf course, where Go.
Scott Walker appeared for a cam-
paign fundraiser.
Walkers visit was part of
his third annual golf outing that
charged $1,000 per person or
$2,500 to sponsor a hole, according
to information about the fundraiser
posted on wispolitics.com.
The Oregon Area Progressives
organized a demonstration that
drew protesters from as far away
as Middleton and Rock County,
according to group member Charles
Uphoff. The group held signs and
formed lines on the sidewalk in
front of the Legend to voice opposi-
tion to Walkers policies and recent
biennium budget, Uphoff said.
Cutbacks in funding for public
education, statewide expansion of
funding for underperforming pri-
vate voucher schools, along with
assaults on womens healthcare and
reproductive rights, sand-mining
and provisions that allow for no-
bid sales of State property, were
some of the issues that drew the ire
of protesters, who were orderly but
vocal, Uphoff said in an e-mail.
Uphoff said the only dust-up
occurred when a guest allegedly
swerved his golf cart toward one of
the protesters, narrowly avoiding a
collision, then laughed as he drove
away.
Phone calls and e-mails to two
of the events coordinators, Mary
Stitt and Colleen Coyle, were not
returned. Attempts to reach the dep-
uty campaign manager of Friends
of Scott Walker were unsuccessful.
Registration for the event started
at 11 a.m., golfing began at noon
and a reception was held from 5-6
p.m., according to the event listing.

A group of volunteers will
meet Tuesday to discuss how
they can assist Dane County
officials plans to create a new
park in the Town of Oregon.
The Friends of Anderson
Park will meet from 7-9 p.m.,
July 23, at the Town of Ore-
gon hall, 1138 Union Road,
to discuss the master plan for
Anderson Park and organize projects for later this year. Any-
one is welcome to attend.
Eighteen people met last Sunday to tour the property,
including a woodlot that group founder Roe Parker said could
include trails through tall pine trees.
Located just south of the village of Oregon, the Anderson
Farm County Park has been in the works for years and could
eventually convert several hundred acres of mostly farmland
into a park replete with hiking and biking trails, a 40-acre off-
leash area for dogs, a baseball diamond and start-up plots for
small-scale vegetable farmers.
The park is named for
Lyman Anderson, the politi-
cian and local farmer who died
in 2005 after a long career in
town, county and state govern-
ment.
The Friends group hopes to
chip in labor on the park, fun-
draise and apply for grants.
For more information, contact
Parker at 608-835-3580 or

Anderson Park group will meet Tuesday to further assisting with county plans

New chamber signs another welcome to Oregon
victoria vliSideS
Two new Chamber of
Commer ce si gns wer e
installed in late May.
The signs, one on North
Main Street outside Union
Bank and Trust, and one
out s i de Te c h Ma r ke t
Works at 165 W. Nether-
wood Road, act as a wel-
come to the Village but
also as a Chamber member
benefit.
They wer e i nst al l ed
and are run by the Cham-
ber and members can post
event info on the signs.
They are 6 feet high and
8 feet wide, according to
Lundgrens Sign Service,
the business who made
the signs. On the post they
reach about 9 feet high.
Tech Market and Union
Bank and Trust sponsored
and paid for them, said
Judy Knutson, chamber
director. Both businesses
were so kind to let us put it
in there property, she said.
The signs come after a
new welcome sign was
put up in June 2012, a
project that was overseen
by former chamber direc-
tor Brett Frazier. Located
on the east side of town
by the roundabouts, the
28-foot-by-15-foot struc-
t ure boast s a si gn t hat
spreads 15 feet wide and 10
feet high.
The new signs replace
older signs, which were
on wheels and often had
flat tires, Knutson said.
Theyre no longer in use,
she said.

Oregon man allegedly
brought gun to courthouse
Seth Jovaag
An Oregon man allegedly
attempted to enter the Dane
County Courthouse with a
gun last Friday, according to
a news release from the sher-
iffs office.
The 44-year-old man was
arriving for a traffic court
hearing with his two children
when a weapons screener
found the gun in his back-
pack, confiscated it and
alerted deputies working as
bailiffs in the courthouse, the
release said.
In an interview with a
Dane County detective, the
man, who has a valid con-
cealed carry permit, alleged-
ly said he knew it was wrong
to enter the courthouse with
a gun but forgot it was in his
backpack, the release said.
The man was released and
the incident is under review
by the Dane County District
Attorneys office. The man
was not named in the release.
Weapons are prohibited
in the courthouse except for
on-duty law enforcement
officers.
In parts of the state, the
wet weather has wreaked
havoc. Central Wiscon-
sin has been hit hardest,
with many farmers unable
to plant cash crops in May
or even June. The U. S.
Department of Agriculture
on July 4 designated 24 of
the states 72 counties as
disaster areas. Dane County
wasnt on the list.
For the most part, local
farmers say the rainfall has
been welcome, even if it
has drowned out pockets of
corn or soybeans and made
fields too muddy at times
for tractor work.
Id rather see it wet than
dry, said Wayne Ace, who
raises corn, soybeans and
alfalfa and about 40 dairy
cows on 160 acres in the
Town of Oregon.
Ace s ai d he s been
lucky, as his land is high
enough that his crops have
largely avoided damage
from late June rains that
dumped 10 inches in about
five days. As of late last
week, the Madison area
received nearly 33 inches of
precipitation, for the year,
almost 15 inches above nor-
mal.
OBrien guessed they
might lose 15 or 20 acres
of corn and soybeans that
stood too long in pools of
rainwater. But overall, his
crops look good and are
on pace to easily surpass
last year, when the drought
reduced hi s yi el ds by
about half.
Hay crops are also boom-
ing, though area farmers
often struggled to get their
first cuttings baled during
the soggy June weather.
Thi ngs ar e l ooki ng
great, said Jerry Jensen,
former Town of Oregon
chair who raises corn, soy-
beans and hay on roughly
150 acres.
Bad for some
Not everyone is faring so
well.
Dale Secher said the June
rai ns were di sast rous
for his strawberry crop at
Carandale Farms on Tip-
perary Road in the Town of
Oregon.
The farm annually offers
pick-your-own strawber-
ries for up to two weeks in
late June to area custom-
ers. This years rain cut that
back to one day. And the
total strawberry harvest was
about one-fourth of whats
normal, Secher said.
As a result, Carandale
had to dip into its cata-
strophic insurance policy
for only the second time in
45 years, Secher said.
That was totally unprec-
edented, with the rainfall
coming right during harvest
season, he said. Its just
not a good situation.
Another berry grower,
however, said the rains
couldnt have come at a
better time.
At Bl ue Ski es Farms
southeast of Brooklyn, Paul
Maki raises raspberries and
vegetables on 2. 5 acres
that he sells at area farmers
markets. His raspberries,
which customers can pick
themselves, usually peak in
mid- to late-August.
After last years drought
cut yields dramatically,
those same raspberry plants
have soaked up the rain and
are about one-and-a-half
feet taller than last years,
he said.
I absolutely love it, he
said.
Likewise, his carrots,
beets, beans, onions and
other produce are growing
beautifully. And his 14
apple trees, six pear trees
and grapevines are load-
ed with fruit like hes nev-
er seen before.
At Mitchell Vineyards
just east of Oregon, owner
Dave Mitchell said his six
acres of grapes are also
flourishing.
That has, however, cre-
ated a lot more work, as he
and his seasonal staff has
been hustling to keep fast-
growing shoots and leaves
clear of grape clusters that
need exposure to wind and
sun to stave off fungus
growth, he said.
Last years drought is
likely to decrease the yield
on his concord grapes, one
of 11 varieties grown at
the 4252 Sunny Ridge Rd.
vineyard. But the other
varieties should fare well,
provided the weather stays
relatively warm and dry.
One other offshoot of
this years rains: Staff are
constantly barraged by the
unofficial state bird.
The mosquitoes have
been horrible, Mitchell
said.
Another fan of this years
weat her i s Greg Hann,
owner of Hanns Christmas
Tree Farm on Tipperary
Road.
Las t year s dr ought
wiped out about 1,200 of
his roughly 40,000 trees.
And he spent a lot of time
irrigating young trees. Not
so this year.
For the trees, its been
wonderful , Hann sai d.
They can suck up anything
that gets dumped on them.
Theyve gained a lot of
inner density. Theyll make
a great product for custom-
ers.
Farmers: Some fare well, but other farmers called the rains disastrous

Though heavy rains this spring drowned small patches of crops, several farmers said their crops are
thriving, like this corn in the Town of Oregon.

L
ast year, a bill introduced
by lawmakers would have
required women seeking an
abortion to subject themselves to
an invasive probe procedure.
Many saw this as a punitive
and abusive action against wom-
en rather than an improvement to
our health care system. This bill
did not pass, but only by a nar-
row margin.
So its no
surprise that the
reproductive
rights of wom-
en are again
under siege.
But this time,
Republicans
were ready with
stealth and cun-
ning, shock and
awe. It appeared that almost no
discussion was allowed for oppo-
sition on Senate Bill 206, which
limits access for women seeking
an abortion and requires a wom-
an to undergo an ultrasound.
In a YouTube video, I watched
Democrats being silenced with
yelling and gavel-pounding when
they attempted to speak on the
subject. The democratic process
was overruled that day.
Gov. Scott Walker then let it
be known throughout the land
that he was eagerly waiting with
pen in hand for the bill to arrive
at his desk for a speedy passage.
I have never before seen a bill
processed and signed into law
with such lightning efficiency.
Many of us are unable to over-
look the hypocrisy of the states
Republican Party becoming the
new right to life advocates.
Its strange how concerned they
are about a fetus while its in
the uterus. I guess its just an
unfortunate coincidence that once
babies are out of the uterus, all
those new mothers appear to be
on their own.
No universal health care, no
equal pay for women, few jobs
with livable wages or affordable
child care. Thank goodness wom-
en are resilient and resourceful if
they just put their minds to it.
We all know how easy it is to
work two jobs, maybe get a col-
lege education, pay off the medi-
cal bills and care for a newborn
its just a myth that women
need sleep.
But not to worry, for those
women without the resources to
achieve Wonder Woman status,
there is government assistance.
Women raising children on wel-
fare are always treated with the
utmost respect and dignity.
Perhaps it would be easier if
we just overlook the fact that
those caring, baby-loving Repub-
licans are busy, busy cutting
away funding for programs that
assist women and children in
need.
And what a coincidence that
Texas is also taking advantage
of special sessions in its leg-
islature, passing similar laws
that limit and restrict access of
healthcare options for women
seeking an abortion. Yes, Not
Helping Women is high on the
Republican priority list in a coun-
try where women represent 50.8
percent of the population (2012
U.S. Census).
Of course, we all know that
abortion is not just a financial
issue. Its a civil rights issue.
Women are not second-class
citizens, but the right to make
their own decisions about their
bodies is being compromised.
We have a large political group
of (mostly) older, wealthy, south-
ern white men, spending huge
amounts of money, time and
resources to erode, reduce and
control basic human rights for
women.
One cant help but wonder why
so much effort is being channeled
into a sustained, ongoing attack
against womens rights. We
have to ask ourselves the obvi-
ous questions: Why is this issue
so important to these rich white
guys? Why are they so deter-
mined?
Why now?

Letters to the editor
Thanks to Brooklyn for fireworks display
I wanted to thank the Village
of Brooklyn and specifically the
Recreation committee for putting
on a wonderful Fourth of July cel-
ebration in the Village of Brook-
lyn at Legion Park again this year.
Contrary to last weeks article
in the Observer, we did have the
celebration with fireworks last
year, and the village has hosted
this event for the better part of the
last 10 years. This is a wonderful
event for Brooklyn, on par with
any other community in the area,
and I am privileged to be a small
part of it.
I would also like to thank all of
the volunteers from the Brooklyn
Fire and EMS who help out at the
park every year.
Lastly I would like to thank all
those who helped with the setup,
rigging, and shooting of the fire-
works this year.

SETh JOvAAg
If you had six hours to cre-
ate a three-dimensional design
of a house from scratch, could
you do it?
That was the task faced by
Oregon High School junior
Colton Purdy in April at the
two-day state SkillsUSA
Leadership and Skills Confer-
ence in Wisconsin Dells.
Purdy, 17, bested roughly
50 competitors from high
schools across Wisconsin
in the architectural draft-
ing competition. His victory
earned him a trip last month
to the 49th annual national
SkillsUSA conference in Kan-
sas City, Mo., where he placed
29th out of 48 contestants on
hands-on and written tests.
At the April 11 statewide
competition, participants were
given the basic dimensions of
a house to design for a small
family with two pets, Purdy
told the Observer earlier this
spring. After sketching basic
plans by hand, he used Soft-
Plan home design software to
design a one-story home about
90 minutes before the six-hour
cutoff.
The task was exhausting,
and Purdy said he was sur-
prised when he was named the
winner at an awards ceremony
the next night.
I was pretty much going
there just to feel it out and see
where I ranked among other
people, he said.
In all, 12 students and two
teachers from OHS attended
the state conference of Skill-
sUSA, a non-profit partner-
ship of students, teachers and
businesses that aims to build
a skilled workforce in Amer-
ica, said OHS technology
and engineering teacher Erik
Haakenson.
Other OHS competitors at
the state meet included: Nick
Bieno (who finished second
to Purdy), Clayton Schulz
and Jake Wall, architectural
drafting; Brock Padley and
Alec Steensland, automotive
service technology; Mitch
Condon and Ben Kaeppler,
CO2 Dragster; Cody Dorn,
computer maintenance tech-
nology; Dan Tourdot, power
equipment technology; Elliot
Moravec, Nicolas Romero
and Douglas Steinberg, tech-
nical drafting.
Purdy said several OHS
courses including architec-
tural drafting, engineering
drawing, principles of engi-
neering, foundations of tech-
nology, honors physics and
AP calculus prepared him
well for the competition. And
he studied the SoftPlan soft-
ware on his own time, too.
After graduating next year,
Purdy is thinking of studying
engineering or architecture at
Iowa State University.
SkillsUSA advisors at OHS
include teachers Haakenson,
Ryan Stace and Ned Lease.
Stace and Haakenson also
attended the June 24-28 con-
ference.

and move forward with the
new board of directors.
Representatives of the
new board expect to sign an
extended lease agreement
with the Oregon School
District on Monday. The
district houses Oregon High
Schools OASIS (Oregon
Alternative School and
Integrated Studies) program
in the facility and has been
paying about $40,000 annu-
ally to rent the space.
The ice arena was built
on six acres a quarter-mile
sout h of Oregon Hi gh
School, next to Jaycee Park
East.
Once we si gn t he
extended lease with the
school district, this new
group will buy the rink,
Madson told the Observer.
We have come to an agree-
ment where the rink will be
financially stable the day
we take it over.
How it was saved
A little more than one
year ago, two groups of
supporters began work-
ing to save the rink from
foreclosure and maintain
it as the communitys only
indoor skating facility.
One on those groups
included Tim LeBrun, Ran-
dy Karls and Jim Torpe.
A member of the out-
going board of directors
contacted LeBrun because
of his background in bank-
ing and asked if I might
be able to lend a hand just
in working with the bank
on their situation, LeBrun
recalled.
He, Karls and Torpe
kind of joined forces
t o sal vage what each
recognized is a valuable
community asset, LeBrun
explained.
LeBrun said with Karls
expertise in energy usage,
Torpes experience with
hockey and his knowledge
of banking, the trio was
well positioned to devise
ways to make the ice arena
operate more efficiently.
A key to that process
was the energy component.
The arena is a huge pow-
er user, LeBrun said, an
observation Groenier con-
firmed.
It doesnt take much
to spike the utilities bill
for that building, Groe-
nier said. Our utility bill
was between $100,000 and
$120,000 a year. Its been
as low as $80,000, but its
been as high as $120,000,
so if we have a warm win-
ter or spring or fall and our
utility bill is $120,000, that
takes $30,000 out of your
operating revenue.
About the same time,
Madson received a phone
call from a bank official,
Oregon resi dent St eve
Machotka, who told me
that it was going to be fore-
closed on this year.
At that point, I started to
try to find a group of peo-
ple to get together to try to
work with the bank, Mad-
son said.
It didnt take long for
Madsons group to learn
that another group was
working toward the same
end.
We ended up kind of
combining our efforts, and
then we added some others
to fill the new board, he
said.
Madson and LeBrun
credited bank officials
Tubbs and Machotka for
supporting the ice arena and
advocating that the banks
board of directors forgive
debt and restructure the
loan.
The bank had to weigh
the benefit of foreclosing on
the facility vs. keeping it an
ice rink and benefiting the
rest of the community, LeB-
run observed.
I t s a speci f i cal l y
designed facility, and to
create anything other than
an ice rink there would be
difficult and costly given
village expectations and
zoning and those types of
things, he said.
Th e y h a v e b e e n
extremely patient as we
worked through this pro-
cess, and its a big pill to
swallow for any organiza-
tion.
He sai d Tubbs and
Machotka worked for a
mutually beneficial solu-
tion, and I definitely think
they have it here, LeBrun
added. It is back to a lev-
el of debt that the rink can
afford, based on the original
projections and based on
the near-term projections. It
is definitely at an affordable
stage.
Staying the same
The ice arena will oper-
ate largely as it has for the
past five years, if a bit more
organized, Madson said.
Its revenue sources will
remain in place, includ-
ing the school districts
OASIS program, and sell-
ing ice time to Oregon
Youth Hockey, Oregon
High School Hockey and
the Oregon Skating School.
The rink is also used for
income-generating hockey
camps.
Rink manager Larry Cle-
mens is expected to stay on
and continue holding his
annual goalie camp at the
facility.
Madson, LeBrun and
Groenier all agreed the tran-
sition to new ownership has
been amicable.
It takes a very commit-
ted group of people to get
something like this built,
LeBrun noted.
He said the amount of
volunteer time and energy
Groenier, Ed and Dan Hefty
and others have contributed
to establishing and operat-
ing the facility cannot be
overstated.
It simply takes a little
bit different set of resourc-
es and commitment to run
it for the unforeseeable
future, LeBrun said.
He added that the outgo-
ing board was interested in
stepping aside as anxiously
as the bank was looking for
some new direction, while
a new group of adults was
looking to step in and help
run it. Theyre all volun-
teers, of course.
Along with the bank, the
other vital element in keep-
ing the arena going has been
the Oregon School District.
We could not have done
this without them, he said.
We could not have gotten
it built, and we could not
be here five years later, and
frankly we could not go for-
ward without their support.

Is Self-help Oxymoronic?
Is the concept of self-help an oxymoron, that is, a contradiction in
terms? There is clearly something oxymoronic about self-help
books, since they are written by someone else. A true self-help
book would be one written to help its author work through some
problem or issue. Perhaps that is a good way to approach our
problems, i.e., by researching them as if we were going to write a
book illustrating how to solve that problem. Self-help may also be
contradictory in the same sense in which it is ridiculous to expect
people to be able to lift themselves up by their own bootstraps.
When you are sinking in quicksand you need someone on dry
land to throw you a rope or reach out to you, in the same way
that you just cant pull yourself out of many of lifes problems.
And lastly, there is the irony that self-help gives us the illusion
of independence, when we are in fact dependent on others, and
especially on God, from whom our best help often comes. We
should not cut ourselves off from Gods help.
My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.

Oregon Senior Legion
pitcher Lukas Mueller was
not only ahead of most
batters last Friday against
Milton in the Stoughton
Senior Legion Invitational
tournament opener but also
finished the deal to lead the
Panthers to a 5-2 win.
Mueller fanned 12 Red
Hawks at Stoughton High
School, and he scattered
five hits, three walks and a
hit batter in seven innings.
Only one of the runs he
allowed was earned.
Mueller also helped his
cause at the plate, ripping
an RBI single to left field
in the top of the fifth. At
the time, it put Oregon up
5-0, which was more than
enough support for the right
hander.
Mueller also was able to
escaper trouble in the sixth
and seventh innings with
limited damage.
After a walk and two
errors l ed t o t wo runs,
including a stolen base at
home plate that cut Ore-
gons lead to 5-2, Mueller

The group took no action
Monday but agreed to try to
hammer out a plan later this
summer.
Mondays meeting also
served as a way for new
board members Dan Krause
and Rae Vogeler to get up
to speed on what has been a
multi-year planning process.
Krause said he thinks the
group should act soon, though
he added that the board
should strive to add energy-
saving projects to the list,
even if it costs more money.
Vogeler suggested the
group should first ask com-
munity members what theyd
like to see in a referendum.
But other board members
countered that theyve done
that repeatedly in the past,
either through poorly attend-
ed public meetings or through
a communitywide survey last
fall that asked staff, students
and residents to prioritize
potential construction proj-
ects.
That same survey found
that 77 percent of respondents
wanted the board to keep try-
ing to refine a referendum.
In February 2012, vot-
ers shot down a $33 mil-
lion referendum by a 58-42
percent margin that would
have upgraded OHS, Oregon
Middle School and athletic
fields south of OHS. The new
master plan includes many
of those projects, plus expan-
sions at Brooklyn Elementary
and upgrades at Prairie View
and Netherwood Knoll Ele-
mentary.
Board members agreed that
to pass a referendum, theyd
need support from the local
business community, service
groups and other local lead-
ers. But Vogeler and Krause
went a step further, suggest-
ing that to garner support
from local teachers, the board
should offer to change district
policies that would make it
tougher to discipline or termi-
nate staff, a contentious issue
tied to recent debate over
employee handbooks that
govern working conditions.
Board member Jeff Ramin
noted that the proposed ref-
erenda both last years
and likely the next one are
inherently a tough sell to the
community because they lack
a single focus, such as build-
ing a new school due to over-
crowding.
After the $33 million
measure failed, he said he
doubts whether residents
would approve a more expen-
sive measure.
The board is unlikely to put
all $60 million in projects on
the ballot. Deciding which
projects are top priorities,
then, should be the boards
next mission, said board
member Steve Zach.
We are now at a time
where we have to quit pass-
ing the buck, Zach said.
We cannot wait any longer.
The needs are there we
deferred on it, and its time to
make a decision.
OSD: 77 percent of survey respondents wanted board to keep trying to refine a referendum

Villages first little free
library sparks interest
Seth Jovaag
One day last week, Carol
Lochner arrived at home to
find a box of donated books
on her front step.
The books were meant
to stock her Little Free
Library, the first in Oregon,
that volunteers and friends
helped her erect in front of
her 112 Sterling Drive home
May 13.
Thats what I love about
this is the spirit of it, said
Lochner, who has lived in
Oregon since 1967. We get
books coming and going all
the time. It has been phenom-
enal.
The idea for the little free
libraries was hatched by two
Wisconsin men in 2009 as
a way to promote reading
and to spark conversations
among neighbors. Since
then, its grown into a cul-
tural phenomenon.
The small, decorative book
boxes come in all shapes and
sizes, but are usually about
the size of a doll house and
can store a couple dozen
books or more that folks can
take or drop off for free.
More than 6,000 of the
libraries have been built
worldwide. Scores are in
Madison, and three are in
Brookl yn, accordi ng t o
a map on the non-profit
groups website, littlefreel
ibrary.org.
More could be in the works
for Oregon, too. On Monday,
the Oregon Village Board
approved a request from resi-
dent Wendell Matzke to add
another inside Bethel Green-
acre Park on the 300 block
of South Burr Oak Avenue.
Aspiring Eagle Scout Nathan
Feest has volunteered to
build it, according to village
documents.
Residents can install the
libraries on private property
without village approval, but
Matzke said a small group of
local residents hopes to add
more in the villages Tot
Lots, or small neighborhood
parks around town.
Lochner said she wanted
to have her own little library
after hearing about them
from co-workers at her job
in Madison. A colleague
offered to build one for her,
and she picked out the design
a one-room schoolhouse
with a bell on top.
I wanted to get peoples
attention with it, she said.
Since May 13, she said
people have stopped by her
library every single day to
browse the titles or drop off
their own. Childrens books
are particularly popular, she
said, but its also generated
conversations with residents
shed never met before.
Lochners library was also
selected for distinction on
the non-profit groups web-
site. She even got a certifi-
cate commending her model.
Owners are called stew-
ards and help ensure the
libraries are stocked with
books and maintained. Loch-
ner hopes more will pop up
in Oregon soon.
People want them, she
sad. Were hoping to gener-
ate more interest.

and Sterling Drive.
