Driving along Alpine Parkway after dark got brighter a

installed new LED streetlights.
The bulbs are part of a pilot

While the benefits are
numerous, said Alliant key
account manager Jeff McCarthy, the program is limited to
places like Alpine Parkway
that were approved by the
Public Service Commission
(PSC) as part of the original
pilot program. The company
is in its sixth year of keeping
rates locked, McCarthy said.
Its unfortunate that we
cant just install these in mass.
But the good side of that is
the reason we cant is because
were trying to hold the line on

The race for Oregon Village Board is shaping up to be nearly a repeat of the election held
two years ago. Then, two incumbents and two
challengers were running for three seats.
This year, the same names will appear on
the ballot. The difference: Phil Harms is no
longer an incumbent but is now the challenger, while Jeff Boudreau and Doug Brethauer
are incumbents instead of first-time candidates for the board.
Incumbent Jerry Bolligs name will also
appear again on the ballot. Hes seeking what
would be his eighth two-year term on Village
Board.
During a public forum held in February,
each candidate talked about his reasons for
running.
Bollig said maintaining the villages strong
financial health and good roads and services
is key to future economic growth and development. He asserted the village has a vibrant
business community and also focused on
recreation amenities like building bike paths.

Dane County is suing

the local towns association
over the results of a recently approved state law that
could change how towns
zone its land.
In February, the state
legislature passed a law
supported by the Dane
County Towns Association
(DCTA) that would allow
towns to opt out of county
zoning regulations in 2017.
Towns that opted out would
create a set of ordinances to
use in place of the countys.
The suit is over whether
or not towns that opt out
would receive any money
from the countys tax revenue to help pay for the planning process.
The DCTA told towns
while the law was being
debated that it would
receive part of the countys
tax revenue to cover its
expenses for planning and
zoning. The county, though,
disputes that there would be
any tax shift.
If a town voluntarily
elects to withdraw from
county zoning, the county
is not transferring responsibility for providing a
service, a memo from a

In the suit, the county

said a decision is needed
before the county budgeting process begins for
2017. Hazelbaker noted that
although towns will decide
whether its opting out in
2017, the earliest it would
affect any potential budget
would be 2018.
Some town officials said
the countys rules are too

no levy shift will occur if a
town withdraws from county zoning.
The suit asks for a declaratory judgment from the
circuit court on the levy
shift. Even if money shifted

officials questioned if it
would be enough to cover
planning and zoning on

Mark Hazelbaker, who

Letters to the editor

Police Explorers helps many

This letter is about Officer Pierce
and how he made a difference in
my life.
He was in charge of the Police
Explorers when I joined. Before I
joined I was having difficulty with
my life and I needed something
to balance it. So I decided to do
Explorers, and it made an impact
that I was not expecting. I no longer
had time on my hands to be in trouble, because I was out helping the
community in one way or another.
The experience that I got from
doing the Explorer program made
me feel better about myself, and

also made me into a better person.

This would not have been possible
if Officer Pierce would not have
been in charge of Police Explorers
and doing a stupendous job.
I will forever be in his debt for
teaching me values and being an
amazing leader. The things that I
have learned from him will stay
with me forever, and I am glad that
I did the program. His teachings not
only helped me, but many others.

Food pantry serves more than Oregon

In the March 17th Oregon
Observer article regarding the
Boy Scouts successful food drive
for the Oregon/Brooklyn Food
Pantry, it was stated that the food
collected will be distributed to
Oregon and Brooklyn families in
need.
Thats an assumption far too
many people make. I just want
to set the record straight because
that assumption excludes many
residents who may need us for
food assistance, but arent sure if
they can come to us for help.
The fact is, we are Oregon/
Brooklyn in name only. We serve
the entire Oregon School District,

an area of 85 square miles, and

anyone that is in need for food
assistance is welcome. At this
time, we are in the process of
changing our name to the Oregon
Area Food Pantry to put an end
to the assumptions that we only
serve those two communities.
Being a lengthy process, youll
hear or read both those names for
us as we make this transition, but
rest assured we are still your community food pantry and we will
be here for all who need us.

Trump movement has

come from within
D

elight. Despair. Disbelief.

Outrage. Fear. Hope.
Make no mistake, the lead
story in the 2016 presidential race
is political neophyte Donald Trump
and his astonishing surge to the top
in the Republican primary.
He did so by riling up a hornets
nest of raw emotions in these United
States. Or rather,
a whole bunch
of hornets
nests.
Therein lies
the first trap:
to focus on the
man rather than
the hornets.
Those angry
Noeldner
critters were
beginning to
multiply long before Trump charged
onto the stage, and if nothing is
done to address their grievances
they will continue to swarm long
after he fades into history.
Focusing on the man and not the
movement isnt the only trap we
should avoid. It is also tempting to
become obsessed with emotions
our own in particular.
We can idolize Trump because
he sanctifies our anger. Hate him
because he outrages us. Or be terrified that he is destroying our cherished Republican Party.
Its not that our feelings arent
important. Indeed, even the negative ones can be essential motivators
from time to time. But merely asking, How do I feel? is no foundation for the project of representative
of self-government. We the People
need most of all to think.
The rise of Donald Trump is a
phenomenal learning opportunity.
Its not often in American history
that a national political party crumbles or comes this close.
Fair warning to Democrats: This
is no time to feel smug! The fault
lines in the Republican Party will
inevitably fracture your party, too.
Even setting aside our feelings
isnt enough. We wont gain any
insights into the Trump phenomenon if we let other old habits of

thinking run the show, either. As the

Great Recession proved eight years
ago, there are many ways to learn
absolutely nothing.
One way is to listen to selfproclaimed experts who didnt see
Trump coming the Alan Greenspans and Ben Bernankes of the
political realm.
Unfortunately this category
includes the establishment
leadership of both parties and
most opinion-column writers,
openly partisan news and media,
major funding organizations and
the nations leading think tanks.
The only people among them who
merit attention are those humble
enough to say, I was wrong.
(The freshest and most perceptive
analyses can be found outside the
mainstream; one of my favorites is
TheAmericanConservative.com.)
Another way to learn nothing is to
relish how Trump flaunts political
correctness and gores sacred cows
like free trade while ignoring all
substantive questions of policy and
governance.
But glorifying rebellion for the
sake of rebellion is juvenile. The
spirit of sheer orneriness that infuses
many Trump supporters today also
animated the Tea Party a few election cycles ago, and countercultural
revolutionaries in the 1960s before
that. Overthrow the system, baby!
And then what?
Yet another way is to retreat to
echo chambers where everything
we see and hear and say confirms
that Trump is a monster.
We could go one step further and
lump his supporters together in a
neat, tidy package called xenophobic, racist, sexist, hateful authoritarians. I suspect this is the impulse
which most impedes our learning
ability here in the Oregon community.
All of this is in vain. Our real
challenge is to overcome the forces
that are tearing our republic apart.
And one of those forces is right
there in the mirror: our addiction to
watching, listening to and reading
stuff that makes us angry, afraid and

arrogant; suspicious, cynical and

bitter; vengeful, petty and feeling
sorry for ourselves. It should be no
wonder political spin doctors can so
easily manipulate us.
True, the Internet and Facebook
and a plethora of unabashedly
biased media channels have made
it easier than ever before to tune in
to whatever echo chamber boils our
blood and confirms our prejudices.
But this doesnt excuse what we are
doing to ourselves.
At the root of all this is cowardice. Fear of admitting we might be
wrong. Fear of seeing things from
the other fellows perspective. Fear
of walking in his shoes. Fear of
stepping outside the pathetic, little
intellectual prison cells we have
built around ourselves.
Worst of all is avoiding political conversations with people who
might disagree with us family,
friends, neighbors, coworkers, congregants, politically active acquaintances and officials from that other
party.
It is ludicrous to expect adult
behavior in Washington if we arent
willing to civilly discuss and resolve
our differences much closer to
home. We must find the courage to
reach out and listen, truly listen.
At a time when famous people
seem to grab all the attention
leaving the rest of us wondering
whether anyone cares to hear what
we have to say the gift of listening
is whats needed most of all.
One promising venue for civil
conversations is the newly founded
Blue Jean Nation headquartered
right here in Wisconsin. This nonpartisan grass-roots organization is
committed to bridging our differences and rebuilding democracy
from the ground up.
If you want to find out more, visit
BlueJeanNation.com. Its time for
us to get back in the drivers seat of
our own government.

Hans Noeldner is a Village of

Oregon resident.

Mixed feelings about recent, upcoming expansion in village

I see there is lots of building going on in Oregon.
When I moved here 17 years ago, I liked that we were
a small village (I love being called a village) but we
had few stores. I think most people go to Madison or
Stoughton for their shopping. I love shopping at Bills:
no gas to pay for, very friendly people and they take
groceries out to the car. I am disabled and this helps a
lot. I also like to spend my money locally.
Anyway, back to all the building. I have mixed feelings, part of me being an old cogger that resists change.

But, I also embrace change.

One thing I am against is TIF funding for $1 million
for a motel. I realize that from time to time, a motel may
help, but we are 12 minutes away from many hotels. I
doubt it will get used a lot. When I go in to Stoughton, I
rarely see much activity at their motel. Is there enough
business for two motels one here and one in Stoughton, 10 minutes away?

principal Jim Pliner, in an

email to the Observer, said
Johnson is very deserving of the recognition and
that the school is proud of
his accomplishment.
He is constantly looking for ways to make curriculum more engaging,
more relevant and more
rigorous, Pliner said. He
is always willing to go
above and beyond expectations for students and colleagues.
Oregon Area School
District superintendent
Brian Busler noted that
Johnson was selected by
his teaching peers in the
area.
(That) reflects his outstanding teaching and
scholarship, Busler wrote
in an email to the Observer. We are fortunate to
have such a terrific science
teacher and individual at
Oregon High School.
Johnson, in an email to
the Observer, gave a lot
of credit to my colleagues
in the science department.
The OHS science
department is incredibly
collaborative, and an honor for one is an honor for
all, he said. I consider
it a privilege to work with
the amazing teachers and
students in Oregon.

Three Words to Live By

If you want to live and be well, then you should be
generous, calm, and virtuous. Being generous can be difficult for those of us who have the virtues of the squirrel,
storing up food for the winter by burying our acorns. Its
good to save some of what we earn, but its also important to be generous with what we have. It can be difficult
to be calm in the noisy, jangling disarray of modern life.
We live in a technological pandemonium of buzzers and
bells that seem designed to sabotage our equanimity.
There are many ways to cultivate calmness, from prayer
and meditation, to time management and a firm resolve
to practice patience. And while we have to cultivate and
practice that inner quietude of spirit in order to be truly
calm, it really does help to quiet the outer bells and whistles. Turn off the television and silence the cell phone,
and you will begin to understand why silence is golden.
Finally, the surest and most direct route to living well and
truly being well is by living virtuously. Only those who are
kind, and generous, and genuinely trying to be the best
that they can be are truly living well.
Christopher Simon, Metro News Service
One person gives freely, yet gains even more; another
withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. A generous
person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be
refreshed.
Proverbs 11: 24-25 NIV

Saturday, March 26 at the Oregon
Fire/EMS Station, where both kids

Afterwards, many families headed
to Prairie View Elementary School
for Community of Life Churchs

The Village of Brooklyn could be excluded from the next Oregon Area Senior Center agreement
after Brooklyn officials indicated in January that they were unlikely to renew the deal for 2017.

Senior center: One-year contract likely

The Town of Dunn also contributed
$15,000, despite withdrawing from the
contract last year.
Koelsch told the Village Board she
doesnt anticipate a similar contribution from Brooklyn. She said the level
of funding from Dane County $58,000
this year would not be affected by the
change.
A senior center working group, made
up of representatives from the four communities included in the 2016 contract,
met last month with village attorney Matt
Dregne and suggested they drop Brooklyn from the 2017 contract and that the
new agreement be for only one year, with

a one-year renewal option.

Previous contracts were for a threeyear period.
Village administrator Mike Gracz recommended making the contract for the
shorter time period because the village is
working on a civic campus plan and officials are unsure what will happen with
the center in the coming years.
The board unanimously approved the
working groups suggestions for the contract. Once the document is ready, the
village will forward it to the other communities to consider.
The board also appointed Trustee
Jeanne Carpenter to represent the Village
of Oregon on the working group.

Lights: More expensive but last longer

Continued from page 1
earth-friendly and sustainable option
available.
Other benefits include that all of the
light goes down, McCarthy said, which
helps neighbors not have to see glare,
and the bulbs have longer lives compared to the old pressure sodium ones.
But, he also noted, the bulbs are more
expensive, meaning higher initial capital costs.
Village of Oregon public works
director Jeff Rau said most of the initial feedback has been positive, but he
wants more, because this will help
shape the configuration of lights for
future changeouts. He acknowledged
that while he likes that they dont
bleed out beyond the right of way, it
is a change.
Its one of those things just getting
used to the different kind of light, Rau
said.

Harms Response
This letter is in reply to the Village Presidents recent letter in the Observer. Im referred to as a possible new trustee, and it is insinuated
that the timing would be wrong with my election. Let me remind Village President Staton and the board that I already have eight years of
prior experience with the board on the same issues that confront this
board today. Nothing has changed in my two-year absence the village is still trying to find a hotel developer for our east side entrance
without antagonizing existing property owners in the area further.
A $50,000 expenditure to design a downtown campus plan that so far has
shown that the library needs to be enlarged possibly to three times its current
size,andtheseniorcenteratleasttwotimes,whichIsupport.Iwouldquestion
moving on with demolition or remodeling the existing Village Hall at this time.
The letter refers to decisions being made that have the support of the
significant majority of village residents. I was always under the assumption that the insignificant minority per se could also feel that they were
represented equally. Has that changed?

Feedback
The Village of Oregon is seeking
feedback on the new lights. Send
thoughts to village public works
director Jeff Rau at jrau@vil.
oregon.wi.us or mail comments
to Public Works at 117 Spring
St., Oregon, 53575. Rau said the
feedback would be forwarded to
Alliant Energy.

Village residents during my two-year absence continue to contact me with

questions about what was happening due to the fact that issues that were
prevalent during my tenure were still ongoing. I will close by asking village
residents for their continued support, as I feel I am a candidate that feels
all village residents are significant.

Panthers sprint to fourth at Tri-State Invitational in Platteville

JEremy Jones
Sports editor

Oregon girls track and field showed

plenty of sprint depth Saturday,
March 19 at the Tri-State Invitational
at UW-Platteville.
Sophomore Alexis Jackson led the
way for the Panthers, who finished
fourth overall, posting a meet-best
55-meter dash time of 7.57 seconds.
The time was good enough to hold off
Mount Horeb senior Nadia Williams
by two-hundredths of a second.
The Panthers showed plenty of
sprint depth behind Jackson though as
freshman Scarlet Egwuonwu (7.89)
and senior Cierra Collins (7.99) finished fourth and fifth, respectively.
It was special to see three athletes
in the finals of the 55, and Im very

proud of all of our competitors and

their performance at our first competition, Oregon head coach Ned
Lease said. Im looking forward to
the upcoming competitions where we
will have our team at full strength.
Egwuonwu (28.62) and Collins
(28.82) went on to add a third- and
fifth-place finish in the 200 dash as
well, while Egwuonwu went on to
added a fourth-place finish in the high
jump as well, clearing 4-8.
Scarlet is a nice young talent that
performed well against tough competition in her first meet, Lease said.
The Panthers finished fourth overall out of the eight teams competing
with 81 points. Freeport placed 26
points ahead of the host Hillmen for
first place with 123 points. Platteville scored 97, while Mount Horeb

rounded out the top three with 91.

Oregons top relay finish came
from the 4x400 quartet of sophomore
Jenna Igl, junior Madelyn St. Clair,
senior Jessica Forster and Jackson,
who posted a time of 4:30.06 to finish
second only to Platteville by seventenths of a second.
Alexis won the 55 in fine fashion
and was just nipped in the anchor leg
of the 4x400, Lease said. Alexis is
fighting off a basketball injury so she
was limited in her events.
Igl also joined junior Sawyer
Wilkinson, freshman Lauren Beauchaine and senior Connie Hansen for
third place on the 4x800 in 11:56.91.
Forster placed fourth in the
55-meter hurdles in 10 seconds and
matched the finish in the triple jump
with a distance of 28-11 3/4.

Fellow senior Willow Kugel also

finished fourth, posting a time of
1:09.27 in the 400 dash.
Senior Emma Hughes placed sixth
in the 800 (2:54.58), but it was the
two mile where she turned in her best
finish, taking third place in 13:25.47.
Only Waunakee junior Emily
Royston (12:49.49) and Freeport
junior Kyla Wilcox (12:52.52) were
faster. Oregon junior Ellen Horsnell
finished seventh.
St. Clair (6:01.38) and sophomore
Breanna Bastian (6:04.71) took fifth
and sixth place in the mile.
I was very impressed with how
professional all of our athletes performed, Lease said.
Oregon returns to UW-Platteville
for the Benton Invitational at 10 a.m.
on Saturday.

Senior Charlie Soule was

vital to any success the
Oregon High School boys
basketball team has had the
past few seasons, and this
year was no different.
Soule not only earned
first-team All-Badger South
Conference honors and was
named the Badger South
Player of the Year, but he
also was named as a Division 2 honorable mention
All-State by the Wisconsin
Basketball Coaches Association.
Soule who also was
selected to the WBCA Division 2 South All-Star team
collected 462 points and
178 rebounds this season,

Election: Towns of Rutland, Oregon both have four candidates for two seats
Harms, a former Trustee
and owner of Advantage
Builders in Oregon, said he
is running to provide better oversight of the villages
spending and represent an
older population residing
here.
Brethauer has been a village resident for 12 years
and said he enjoys volunteering for community
causes like the food pantry. He works as substitute teacher in the Oregon
School District and is also
a consultant with a Wisconsin Dept. of Administration
housing program. He added
that developing independent
living facilities for senior
citizens is an emerging issue
here.
Boudreau, a bank manager in McFarland, said
that one of the biggest challenges facing the village in
coming years will be managing the increase in low- to
moderate-income families.
He said he believes in building consensus and always
about trying to find the
how; everyone should win
a little bit.
Key issues the next Village Board could face
include completing and
implementing a plan for a
civic campus, the possible
development of a hotel on
the villages south side,
more development downtown, and continuing financial challenges in maintaining basic services in light of
a state-mandated levy cap.

Oregon School Board

Three candidates are running for two open seats,
with incumbent president
Dan Krause facing two challengers, Krista Flanagan and
Uriah Carpenter. The other
incumbent, Rae Vogeler, is
not seeking re-election.
Vogeler and Krause were
elected to the board for the
first time in April 2013,
defeating incumbent Lynda
Farrar in a three-person
race for two seats. Krause
has been elected the boards
president the past two years.
School board terms are three
years.
Krause, an attorney in
Oregon, said the district has
grown stronger over the past
three years hes been on the
board, work he said hed
like to continue, and to
keep working on a concept
of environmental focus for
our schools.
Labor relations have
turned around, the schools
are getting a much-needed
physical update for modern
methods of learning, and we
are working on a promising
plan to keep our schools at
the top of the heap for the
foreseeable future, he said
in an email to the Observer.

Veterans ID now accepted

High turnout projected for primaries

Gov. Scott Walker recently signed a bill allowing a

Veterans ID card as an acceptable form of photo ID
to vote. The change begins with the April 5 election.
The state legislature first passed the voter ID law
in 2011, and it was in place for a single spring
primary election in 2012 before court challenges
delayed its implementation. It was back in place
for the February primary this year, but veterans ID
cards were not accepted at that point.
For more information on the Voter ID law, and to
find a list of acceptable forms of ID, visit bringit.
wisconsin.gov.

The state Government Accountability

Board is projecting 40 percent turnout
across Wisconsin.
That would be the highest turnout in a
presidential primary since 1980, when
45 percent of voters went to the polls,
according to a GAB news release.
Kevin Kennedy, Wisconsins chief
elections official, said the high projection
is largely due to the presidential primaries
that have drawn historic turnout in other
states, especially on the Republican side.
We expect Donald Trump to bring
new voters to the polls for and against

board drastically changed in
2012-14, we have retained
our administrative team
and have recruited others to

Flanagan, a marketing and
management consultant for
nonprofits and small businesses running in her first
election, said shes running
for school board because
she believes in the power
of education and the importance of working together.
My 20 years of professional work in planning,
fundraising, marketing and
management, coupled with
my service on three different boards required critical thinking, listening and
problem solving skills that
relate directly to the work of
this board, she said. I will
work hard, listen, seek input
and I believe my experiences can be helpful in how we
approach, understand and
address issues.
Carpenter, a software
engineer also running in
his first election, said in an
email to the Observer that
having lived in Oregon for
20 years, hes grateful for
the communitys support
in his bid for a seat on the

Primary, he said in the release. We also

expect the battle between Bernie Sanders
and Hillary Clinton to continue to generate interest in the Democratic Presidential
Preference Primary.
While many candidates in the Republican primary have dropped out, as has
Democrat Martin OMalley, their names
will still appear on the ballots because of
when they had to be printed.
On the Republican side, only Donald
Trump, Ted Cruz and John Kasich are
still actively campaigning. The remaining
Democrats are Hillary Clinton and Bernie
Sanders.

Supreme Court
Incumbent state Supreme Court Justice Rebecca
Bradley faces challenger Joanne Kloppenburg for a
10-year term. Gov. Scott Walker appointed Bradley
to the court to succeed justice Patrick Crooks, who
died in September 2015.
Kloppenburg previously ran for a seat on the court
in a 2012 race against current justice David Prosser
in what many saw as a referendum on Walkers
controversial Act 10. She and Bradley emerged as
the top two vote getters in the February primary
election, beating out Joe Donald.

business owner has given
her a good perspective on
town governance. She said
her primary reasons for running are trying to maintain
a rural flavor of our community, as well as creating thoughtful commercial
development to increase the
tax base.
Its a real conundrum,
with our tax base being lost
and increased costs, Nedveck said. Weve got to
balance that.
Zentner, who ran

unsuccessfully for a supervisor position in 2013, told

the Observer its time for
new blood on the town
board.
Sometimes, we get set in
our ways, he said, noting
the constant recent discussion about building a new
town hall thats on the
board agenda all the time.
We need a new town
hall, but not a Taj Mahal,
he said.
Zentner said keeping the
towns budget balanced is
his top priority.

Town of Oregon
Town of Oregon voters
will have a similar choice
with four candidates for
two seats. There, though,
both of the incumbents,
Steve Root and Phil Van
Kampen, are running for reelection, to be challenged
by Arlen Christensen and
Jason Marshall.
Unified Newspaper Group
reporter Scott Girard
contributed to this story.

Town of Rutland
Town of Rutland voters
can choose two of the four
candidates for town supervisor, as incumbent supervisor Jim Lunde is running for re-election against
challengers Gary Howards,
Nancy Nedveck and Richard Zentner. The other
supervisor seat opened
since the last election when
Mark Porter moved up to
fill an opening as town
chairman. The supervisor
positions are at large and
terms are two years.
Lunde, who has been on
the board for around 15
years, said his main concern is taking care of town
roads.
Its a huge thing, Lunde said. Were always nine

Oregon resident planning bike ride in memory of friends father

Samantha Christian

Oregon resident
Christine Schultek,
left, organized a fourday bicycling event
across Wisconsin
in May 2015, raising awareness and
over $16,000 for the
Pancreatic Cancer
Action Network. She
and 11 others rode
in honor of Doug
Krueger, center, the
father of her friend
Stacy Charles, right.
Schultek is in the
process of planning
a one-day celebration
of life bike ride for
Krueger, who died
March 19.

Unified Newspaper Group

Last May, Oregon resident Christine Schultek

led a charity bike ride to honor a friends father
while he battled cancer. His death on March 19
prompted her to begin forming another ride: to
celebrate his life.
Doug Krueger, the father of Stacy Charles
(Oregon resident and Schulteks friend), died
at age 71. A New Rome resident, he inspired
Schultek and others to raise awareness and
funds for the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network.
Although Krueger received a pancreatic
cancer diagnosis in 2014, he had been stumping doctors in a good way in 2015 when
scans throughout his chemotherapy treatments
revealed no tumor growth or spread of the cancer, which is typically aggressive.
With this good news, Krueger and his wife
of over 45 years, Kathleen, took an extended
vacation to Florida in February 2016, according to his familys blog posts on CaringBridge.
org. For most of the five weeks there the couple
enjoyed the weather, visited friends, went fishing and shopping and relaxed. But on March 13,
Krueger suddenly didnt feel well.
A few days later he flew back home and went
to the hospital. Doctors determined that his cancer had not changed or spread, but he had pneumonia in both lungs as well as failing kidneys
and internal bleeding. His wife and daughters
were by his side and shared many memories.
We are obviously heartbroken, but so thankful he never had to battle through weeks-long
chemo treatments and was able to enjoy his
quality of life right up until the week of his
death, Charles said in an email to the Observer.
A funeral service for H. Douglas Krueger
Jr. was held Wednesday in the Town of Rome.
According to his obituary, he was a man that
never followed the road most traveled, mostly
because he knew a better way to get there.

How to help
To make a donation to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network
in Doug Kruegers memory, visit:

pancan.org/donate
Doug was known to the ones that loved him
most for his quick wit, dry sense of humor, his
bigger than life smile and his unique ability to
give directions that would rival any navigation
system to the minute, notable landmarks,
best places for a clean bathroom and cheapest
gas along any route.
In May 2015, Krueger greeted the 12 bicyclists of TeamHope Team Doug in Sauk
City along their four-day, 300-mile Pedal
Across Wisconsin route from La Crosse to Milwaukee. Half of the riders were from Oregon.

Doug was very proud of his girls not just

throughout his life but for also riding across
Wisconsin in his honor, and being able to raise
over $16,000 for (pancreatic cancer) research,
Schultek said in an email to the Observer.
A Facebook post from March 20 on the
Team Doug - Ride For A Cure page featured a picture of Krueger with his grandson,
Ian Charles, that said: We love you Doug! All
of our prayers are with you and your family. It
was a great honor to have known you. May that
smile be the path that lights our ways. RIP my
dear friend. Team DOUG!
Schultek said that the one-day celebration of
life bike ride still in its initial planning stages
will most likely start and end in Oregon and
will be open to anyone. All donations will again
go to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network.
