Stuff the Bus raises $8,500
The Oregon Lions and
Lioness Clubs Stuff the
Bus fundraiser raised more
than $8,500 in cash and
school supplies that will
help support the Oregon
School District during the
coming school year.
That total is almost dou-
ble the amount raised at last
years event.
The Stuff the Bus fund-
raiser, held Aug. 12, offered
residents the opportunity to
donate money and school
supplies to fill the school
bus that was parked at Wal-
greens.
Donations are still being
accepted. Cash and school
supplies can be dropped off
at the administration office,
123 E Grove St.

Oregon Area Senior Center
Brickner brings local focus to senior center
BILL LIVICK
Unified Newspaper Group
Rachel Brickner, the recently
appointed director of the Oregon Area
Senior Center, is a big believer in all
things local.
She lives, shops and works local-
ly. Shes lived in the Oregon School
District her entire life,
save for one year when
she worked as a lawyer
in Appleton.
About the only
exception to that rule
came when she picked
a husband 30 years
ago. His name is Peter Brickner
Hardin, and hes from
New Jersey.
But Brickner even found him
locally in the office of the Oregon
Observer.
Youve got to widen out the net
once in a while, she quipped.
In an interview with the Observer,
Brickner recounted the story of meet-
ing her husband. She began work-
ing at the Observer when she was
13, serving as the Saturday morning
receptionist and later writing high
school sports stories through her high
school and college years.
Hardin had gone to graduate school
at UW-Madison, where he earned a
masters degree in agricultural jour-
nalism. After about a year in Vermont,
he returned in 1979 to launch a dairy
industry publication, The Milkweed,
which he still produces.
He used the Observer office to type-
set and print the magazine, which is,
of course, where he encountered his
future wife.
I met my husband when he was
using the old linotype machines, and
much of the Observer staff was at
our wedding reception, Brickner

The Village Board last
week directed the village
attorney to begin collec-

from a former police offi-
cer who resigned in March
after less than a year on
the job.
Former officer Lucas

with the village, agreed

Chief Brian Uhl told the
Observer that Schuepbach
resigned of his own accord
but failed to pay the vil-
lage, so the village began
garnishing money from his
paychecks, as stipulated in
his employment contract.
When the village was
no longer able to gar-
nish Schuepbachs wages
or collect the remaining
amount owed $597 the
board directed Attorney
Matt Dregne to begin legal
action to recoup the mon-
ey.
Along with the amount
owed, Schuepbach will
also have to pay the attor-
neys fees.

and welcomes letters to the editor, provided they comply with our
guidelines.

edit letters for length, clarity and appropriateness. Letters with libelous
or obscene content will not be printed.

Letters to the editor should be of general public interest. Letters
that are strictly personal lost pets, for example will not be printed.
Letters that recount personal experiences, good or bad, with individu-

compelling public interest to do so. Letters that urge readers to patron-
ize specific businesses or specific religious faiths will not be printed,
either. Thank-you letters can be printed under limited circumstances,
provided they do not contain material that should instead be placed as

Oregon was well-represent-

fifth annual Iron Girl Pleasant

Siblings Claudia, Cara and

of the three trophies for
the event, which had more
than 800 enrollees at Prairie

The Iron Girl is a competi-

only not as long.
Also different, athletes
can compete in the triathalon
alone, competing in all three
of the events (swimming,
biking and running) or the
events can be split out into
relay teams of two or three.
Participants can also choose to
just do two of the three events
(duathon).
The mother- and
two-daughter team of Clau-
dia, Cara and Chloe Schwartz
joined forces to win the three

hour, 14 minutes and 11 sec-

They were a minute-and-

With 10 returning letterwinners and a talented core
of underclassmen, first-year co-head coaches Terry
Oregon girls tennis team can earn its highest finish Bad-
ger South Conference finish in recent memory.
Aiming for a top four finish in conference with a high
number of experienced varsity players, Geurkink said
this years team has the drive to have a successful and
hopefully winning record.
With Geurkink and Onesti, the Panthers have had six
different coaches in as many years after Costin Fink
decided not to return earlier this summer.
Geurkink was a longtime assistant coach at Verona and
has coached with the Oregon boys team the past six sea-
sons.
The Panthers return eight letterwinners who gained a
lot of varsity experience last year, including five senior
captains.
Julia Gerhards returns as one of the senior captains
after going 13-15 at No. 1 singles last year.
Fellow seniors Katie Reisdorf and twins Addie and
Kailey OBrien are also a senior captains. Reisdorf was a
11-15 as a junior at No. 2 doubles and the OBrien sisters
played at No. 3 doubles, going 8-12.
Senior Mary Sanford is also a captain. She went 2-11
at No. 4 singles last year.

Edgewoods conference title streak on the line in 2017
Edgewood has won the last eight Badger South
titles, but the two-time defending Division 2 state
champion Crusaders graduated a lot of talent coming
off of a 19-0 season, which culminated with a 7-0 vic-
tory over Stevens Point Pacelli.
Ranked No. 1 in the state coaches poll all year, the
team graduated the state champion doubles team of
Maddie Molitor and Abby Fox and a pair of seeded
individual state qualifiers in Emma Sango and Jessica
Inman.
Molitor and Fox earned the No. 1 seed at state and
only lost six games in four matches on their way to
the title. Sango meanwhile, played her way to a third-
place finish at the Division 2 state meet, while Inman
fought into the round of eight.
Junior Kinsey Kessel and the Drake sisters, Grace
(senior) and Lizzie (sophomore) hope to lead the team
to a third state title. Other returning varsity players are
Claire Stein and Julia Hess.
Monona Grove could be the team to beat in the Bad-
ger South this season with sophomore Hailey Munz
and senior Amanda Newman both returning. Rotating
at No. 1 singles through most of the regular season,
the duo went on to earn a No. 9 seed at state where
they played their way to the quarterfinal round.
The Silver Eagles No. 2 doubles team of senior Sara
Paulson and sophomore Jewel Lindwall also returns.
Realignment brings Watertown to the Badger South
and Beaver Dam to the Badger North this season.
Watertown returns two special state qualifiers in senior
No. 1 singles player Ricki Budewitz and half of the
teams No. 1 doubles team in junior Jenna Koepp.
Seniors Celeste Bayer (No. 2 singles) and Meghan
Petroski (No. 4 singles) are also back as solid players.
Stoughton was near the top the past two seasons but
were never able to overtake Madison Edgewood. The
Vikings expect to have some growing pains early this
season as they replace Sarah Benoy, who finished in
the round of eight at last years Division 1 state tour-
nament.
Stoughton also graduated its top two doubles teams
in Kendra Havlerson and Marissa Robson, and Anna
Nelson and Sydney Johnson.
Halverson and Robson won two rounds at the state
tournament last season, while Nelson and Johnson
(No. 2 doubles) won their bracket at sectionals and
went on to take a round at state.
Senior Krissy Pohold went 16-10 last season at
No. 4 singles and finished second a sectionals, she is
expected to step in at No. 1 singles.
Milton graduated its state qualifying doubles team
of Faith Dittman and Bethany Crandall but returns a
pair of young doubles players in junior Katie Chese-
bro and sophomore Christina Choi who are looking to
have success.
As new co-head coaches, we have been pleased
with the excellent levels of enthusiasm and effort that
we have seen from the varsity competitors in the first
few days of practice, Terry Geurkink said. If our
players consistently exhibit high levels of ambition
and coachability, we hope to steadily improve, and
challenge for a top four spot in the Badger Conference
tournament.
Oregon, which plays in a loaded sectional that fea-
tures Middleton, Madison West, Verona and Waunakee
among others, hasnt advanced anyone through sub-
sectionals since 2007 when Natalie Fuller and Amber
Cook qualified for individual state at No. 1 doubles.

Andi McCorkle was 32nd at state in
2016 and is currently 43rd in the Player
of the Year standings. McKee was 42nd
at state last year, and Payne was tied for
43rd at state.
McCallum (77th at state) also adds
stability in the varsity lineup.
Junior Jane Mautz also returns this
season. Mautz started in a few tourna-
ments last season, including the Cru-

Spill: Hazardous material mostly contained to truck, none found in roadway

Continued from page 1

Linzmeier did not identify.

The driver parked the truck
in the parking lot of Wisco
Industries and reported the
spill to the fire department.
Linzmeier told the
Observer because of expo-
sure to the material, the
driver was sent to hospital
for further health inspec-
tion.
Linzmeier said the spill
was mostly contained to the
truck, with no spill found
on the roadway, though the
initial investigation also
found another leaking spot
in the loading area of the
building. Firefighters evac-
uated the building, blocked
the parking lot and closed
the nearby street while
working on absorbing the
leaking material.
According to a news
release from Wisco Indus-
tries, the chemical was not
being delivered to Wis-
co and is not used by the
company. After the chem-
ical was neutralized, the
employees re-entered the
building at 2:10p.m.
Linzmeier said the street
closure was just a precau-
tion, as the top priority was
to make sure the public was
safe.
Theres no environmen-
tal hazard, Linzmeier said.
Nothing to worry about for
the community.
