Application ‘on a whim’ leads OHS senior to possible career Claire Michels builds sets for Fireside Dinner Theatre productions in Ft. Atkinson EMILIE HEIDEMANN Unified Newspaper Group
What started as just a whim has turned into a possible career path for Claire Michels. Michels, who’ll be a senior this fall at Oregon High School, embarked on a theatre internship opportunity through the University of Wisconsin-Parkside earlier this summer. She “applied on a whim” for the chance to work as a technical assistant for UW-Parkside’s Klopcic Scene Shop and for an internship with Children’s Theatre of Madison. Michels was chosen for both, but decided to accept the UW-Parkside/Fireside
internship opportunity. During the course of the internship, which lasted from June 17 to July 15, Michels built sets for Fireside Dinner Theatre productions, based out of Fort Atkinson. She and other students also took part in a “rigorous” program to handle “set Michels and prop construction, painting and installation in a professional setting,” according to a UW-Parkside news release. The show she helped build sets and props for was the production of “Annie the Musical.” According to the news release, the interns built the set “overnight” at the Fireside on Sunday, July 14. Michels said she and her fellow interns were also enrolled in an independent study
in technical theatre through the university arts department. Having little knowledge of how to build sets before this opportunity, Michels said she learned how to use different types of saws, drills and other tools. “Additionally, she picked up on essential crafting and safety skills needed for this line of work,” the release states. “On top of that, she’s gained other skills she didn’t expect, such as learning how to live away from home, with roommates and how to collaborate with other interns on making the set.” She said was on her lunch break at school when she “got the call” that she was accepted. Michels was so elated, she could hardly contain her excitement. Michels said working with a professional theatre company
A violent sex offender will be moved into a home in the Town of Rutland “on or before” Aug. 15, the state Department of Health Services confirmed Monday. Neighbors of the home where the patient will be housed, 3482 Hwy. 138, notified the Town Board of the placement last month. The neighbors told the board at its June 4 meeting they were notified by local law enforcement officials
when an officer knocked on their door and told them about the move. The move is through a supervised release program facilitated by DHS and Sand Ridge Secure Treatment Center, which is one of two secure treatment centers operated by the Division of Care and Treatment Services in Wisconsin. A 2016 state law prohibits local units of government from barring such placements, which are by default in the same counties where the offenders lived prior to being committed for treatment. In general, patients on supervised release face much stricter limitations than other released sex offenders, according to the

Oregon band releases third album July 30 Distant Cuzins to play at Madison’s High Noon Saloon on Aug. 4
If You Go What: Quick and Painless and Distant Cuzins – CD Release Party When: Doors open: 6:30 p.m.; Show starts: 7:30 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 4 Where: High Noon Saloon, 701 E. Washington Ave., Madison Info: distantcuzins.com
EMILIE HEIDEMANN Unified Newspaper Group
Oregon’s own Distant Cuzins, a band whose sound has evolved from an experimental “metal and surf” past into its own brand of high-energy “ska,” will release its third album, “Songs About Girls” July 30. At least, that’s how guitarist and vocalist Sam Miess put it during a phone interview with the Observer last week. Distant Cuzins consists of 2017 Oregon High School graduates Miess, guitarist Nate Krause, drummer Ben Lokuta and bassist and lead singer Nic Tierman. The band will perform as part of an album release party at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 4, at High Noon Saloon, 701 E. Washington Ave., Madison. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. “We’ve been described as a ska band but without the horns and that one always gives a good chuckle,” he said, referring to the band as
comparable to a “less geeky Weezer” with the onslaught of “Songs About Girls.” A removal from its metal “side projects” that were Distant Cuzin’s first two albums, Miess said “Songs About Girls” highlights the band’s character. The Distant Cuzins website states the band “carries on the mission” of its “rock forefathers,” which is “leaving the audience breathless.” It states there are “still a few brave keepers of the light prowling backroad bars with Les Pauls and Stratocasters … serving up righteous rock to the faithful … It
is there you will find Distant Cuzins.” Miess built on that premise and said rock is a rebellion genre – its about “talking about things that aren’t necessarily appropriate” and reveling in the ironic humor of heartbreak, sadness and “hopelessness.” He said that’s a lot of what “Songs About Girls” wishes to tell its audience, with an already-out single like “Everything’s Fine.” Miess said “Everything’s Fine” was written about a previous relationship and breakup – it has a cheery tone, but the lyrics prove the opposite. Miess said Distant Cuzins has drawn a lot of its inspiration from bigger ska bands like Reel Big Fish. But if people want a true feel for the Distant Cuzins sound, Miess said live shows are the band’s forte. “We are absolutely crazy on stage,” Miess said, also discussing how Krause has done backflips on stage. He said the band members pretty much “go all in” during concerts, even “jumping over each other.” Miess said Distant Cuzins got its start when all members were sixth graders on Oregon. He reminisced that at one point, they lived within mere blocks of each other in the
village. And the work over the years has paid off, as Distant Cuzins has won a considerable amount of awards. Miess said Krause and Tierman are two-time winners of a statewide youth battle of the bands competition known as “Rockonsin” at Milwaukee’s Summerfest. They’ve also been named 2017 Youth Band of the Year at the Madison Area Music Awards, winning other categories as well. Lokuta even received the MAMA Student of the Year award and the Clyde Stubblefield Scholarship. Now, though the band is “spread out” – some members pursuing higher education and one an apprenticeship. It doesn’t stop Distant Cuzins members from pursuing their passions as musicians, however – especially doing shows. “The music is only half of what our band is,” Miess said. “Most of the people that follow us and come to our shows – it’s because of how we perform live.” Email Emilie Heidemann at emilie. heidemann@wcinet.com or follow her on Twitter at @HeidemannEmilie.
Sheriff’s office warns residents of deputy impersonators The Dane County Sheriff’s Office will never call you to ask you to pay a fine, and it won’t ask you to pay it using prepaid money cards. That’s what DCSO stated in a news release earlier this month, sent out after a Madison woman got a call saying she had missed jury duty and there was a warrant
out for her arrest. The woman lost $700 to scammers impersonating a DCSO officer. In the release, DSCO said this scam has become “very elaborate” and has been “plaguing our area for years.” Virtually untraceable because scammers are using technology that masks
their real telephone number with one from the DCSO, the impersonators have been known to use the names of deputies within the department and sound knowledgeable to the average citizen. The woman realized she was scammed after looking at the card’s conditions, and filed a report with the
Madison Police Department. Any time a caller asks for payment via a prepaid money card, that should be a red flag, the release said, because taxes or fines cannot be paid with money cards. “Please help us put these impersonators out of business by spreading the word
about this scam to everyone you know,” the release states. “The only way to completely stop this from happening is to educate the public on their tactics, so that no one else falls victim to their money making scheme.”

Brooklyn man killed in vehicle crash July 19 A 47 year old Brooklyn man died in a motorcycle versus SUV crash in Madison in the early morning of Friday, July 19. The accident occurred around 1:45 a.m. on John Nolen Drive near North Shore Drive, according to a news release from the Dane County Medical Examiner’s Office. Craig W. Schley, 47, was the sole rider of the motorcycle, and was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash. The Wisconsin State Journal reported that according to police, Schley failed to stop at a red light at the intersection, striking the side of the SUV as it traveled north on John Nolen Drive, which was shut down for more than two hours as crews worked at the scene. Additional testing is underway and the case remains under investigation by the City of Madison Police and the Dane County Medical Examiner’s Office. – Scott De Laruelle

Alcohol: Police also note concerns with three additional businesses Continued from page 1 perpetually being on our list,” Uhl told the board. “As per always, when businesses fail, I send a letter to them, and because some of the businesses it’s their second offense or more in a rolling 12 month period, my normal course is to recommend them to the board for review.” Trustees expressed frustration and brainstormed options for resolution, as both Ace’s Main Tap and Mulligan’s have failed for the second time in a rolling 12 month period. A letter from Sgt. Cindy Niehaus to village officials states that during the June 25 compliance check, a waitress at Mulligan’s stated “she didn’t think about (checking ID)” and a waitress at Senor Peppers said “he looked old enough,” adding that she doesn’t card anyone “unless they look younger than 23.” The employee at Ace’s Main Tap was “apologetic” and took full responsibility, Niehaus wrote, and the employee at SeÑor Pepper’s said she was not trained
‘We’re seeing all three perpetually being on our list.’ – Brian Uhl, Oregon police chief appropriately and asked “how (am I) supposed to know about checking IDs?” Those were the only businesses that failed the check, but Niehaus identified few other concerns at Kwik Trip and Bill’s Food Center. Kwik Trip South had failed its previous compliance check, and this time, employees at both Kwik Trip North and South never looked at the ID initially, Niehaus wrote. She reported the North employee scanned the beer and ID and only looked at the ID after the scanning system rejected the sale. A South employee scanned the beer and ID multiple times without looking at the ID, and the ID was checked only after the system denied the ID three or four times. At Bill’s, Niehaus said, the employee

to be participating in this.” The board agreed to send letters to the managers or owners of the three violating businesses, asking them to attend the next meeting to discuss what they plan on doing to prevent them from failing again. The board discussed how the police department deploys its training program, which it offers to businesses in the area to share how to check IDs and serve alcohol responsibly. It also discussed an incentive plan as a way to encourage businesses to participate in such a program, but ultimately trustees decided to wait to impose any action until they could talk with business owners about the problem. Village attorney Matt Dregne said not many municipalities are as diligent in alcohol issues as Oregon is. “I’ve spent probably as much time as any municipal attorney in the state working on these issues, and I’d say this village is on the cutting edge of paying attention to these issues and doing a lot to really try and encourage the behavior you want to see,” he said.

looked at the ID, which had a date of birth of 2000, and still scanned it. The machine refused service and the employee called another employee over to help, and that other employee denied the sale. “This is a huge issue, as underage persons could use someone else’s ID, as the employee didn’t even glance at the name or the photo,” Niehaus wrote in the letter. State statute makes revoking or suspending licenses difficult, and the law changed within the past two years, making servers now subject to fines, rather than the license holders themselves. Alcohol licenses can be suspended from 10-90 days, which could be economically debilitating to a bar reliant on alcohol sales. For servers, the fine is $370, which trustees said could be a lot for a server who is reliant on tip wages. “The bartenders are the first line of defense,” trustee Cory Horton said. “We’re not looking to take money out of their pockets, but ultimately they are the ones we need

Don’t confuse training with behavioral problems in pets
O
ne common point of confusion I see among dog owners regards the differences between training and behavioral issues. It’s crucial to find a professional with the right education and skill set to meet their pet’s needs. A dog’s life could be at stake. On average, family veterinary practices lose 15 percent of their clients annually due to euthanasia for behavioral problems, reports Dr. Amy Pike, a board-certified veterinary behaviorist with whom I Antolec am acquainted. With 70-80 million dogs in the United States that is staggering to consider. Training is about teaching a dog how to do something. Like sit, lie down or walk on leash without pulling. The dog engages in thoughtful actions to achieve results. The dog learns “If I put my butt on the ground when my owner says ‘Sit’ then I get a treat. I think I’ll do that.” Behavior modification is about creating new neural pathways in the brain so the appearance of an environmental stimuli leads to a different emotional response, which in turn leads to a different behavioral response. The process is subconscious. Fear-based behavior is a good example. Let’s say an owner takes a dog for a walk and his/her dog sees another dog in the distance and then pulls hard on the leash, barks and growls as the dog approaches. An owner might think the dog has a training problem and approach an obedience trainer for help teaching the dog to walk without pulling. If the trainer is not educated in behavioral
problems, he or she might punish the dog and try to inhibit the behavior. However, a trainer educated (and hopefully certified) in canine behavior might recognize the dog’s response to the appearance of another dog is based in anxiety, frustration or fear. Punishment would not address any of those possible root causes, but can make matters far worse. Recently, I had conversation with a dog owner whose puppy engaged in such behaviors during walks. The owner went to a trainer who put the puppy in a room with other dogs and used a shock collar to suppress the anxious puppy for any communication of anxiety or fear, or even for merely being distracted. Pulling on the leash, barking and growling are called agonistic behaviors. The function is to create distance and avoid conflict, not initiate conflict. When a dog is punished for communicating, the result could be silence, which could escalate to biting. In another example, I observed a trainer teaching a group obedience class. He insisted every dog wear a choke collar and personally fitted it to “maximize the pain,” as he put it. His expressed intent was to punish a dog until they complied with the training command, and then the punishment would be withdrawn. In psychology, that is called positive punishment/negative reinforcement. Numerous scientific studies have shown its opposite – positive reinforcement/ negative punishment – is the more effective and least harmful method of training. Setting obedience training aside, one of the families in this class had recently adopted a German shepherd who exhibited behaviors associated with separation anxiety. Separation anxiety is a veterinary diagnosis of a behavioral disorder that is considered by many professionals
to be among the most difficult to remedy. In humans, the equivalent would be a panic attack. Nobody chooses to have a panic attack; it is a subconscious response to stress. Both of my dogs had separation anxiety when we adopted them. Over five weeks, I watched this poor German shepherd’s behavior deteriorate into what animal behaviorists describe as stereotypic behaviors. As soon as he entered the room, he circled constantly in a frenzied manner, and without any purpose. Each week, the owners appealed to the obedience trainer for help, and each week, he repeated the same advice. The dog owners, who desperately wanted to help their dog, were asking a (former military) trainer how to address a difficult behavioral disorder that was completely out of his expertise. My advice to pet owners is to consider whether your dog is having difficulty learning a task or is responding in an emotional manner to things or circumstances in the environment. Behavioral issues must be addressed by professionals who have specialized education and training in behavioral disorders. Otherwise, it is rather like asking your fitness trainer to help your child who has ADHD and is struggling in the classroom and falling behind. The professional’s skill set must match the challenge. To set your dog up for success, please interview potential trainers as to their specific qualification and experience. Daniel H.

Internship: Student one of four selected for UW-Parkside program Continued from page 1 was a goal of hers, since she planned on pursuing a career in the field beyond high school. She had to submit an application along with letters of recommendation from Oregon School District teachers. Michels then went through interviews with UW-Parkside staff and she was among four candidates selected. And after staying on the UW-Parkside campus for almost a month, Michels said she’s going to apply for college there this winter. “Overall, I’m glad I took a risk in applying for and accepting this internship,” Michels said. “It has taught me a lot about myself and the world of theatre. That will help me as I am applying for schools in the next year.” Email Emilie Heidemann at emilie.heidemann@wcinet. com or follow her on TwitPhoto submitted ter at @HeidemannEmilie.

Love and Strife The two fundamental moral forces at work in the world are love and strife. Love nurtures and comforts us while strife depletes and annoys us. Love unites us while strife divides us. Love is the spirit of reconciliation and patient, unselfish endurance that allows us to get along with our fellow man, while strife is the spirit of struggle and selfish egoism that creates divisions among us. And while it is true that God is love, and that love is associated with virtue and holiness while strife tends toward vice and sin, the truth is more complicated. After all, God uses strife to help us grow and develop.The patriarchs of the Bible all encountered strife in their lives.The Israelites were enslaved, driven from their homeland, and forced to live in the desert. Jacob literally wrestled with God, and was renamed Israel after this struggle, a name which means “he who strives with God.” Perhaps the ideal way to think about the twin forces of love and strife is that love is the force that allows us to prevail when we strive. Love is usually the best way to settle strife; we don’t overcome hatred by hating, but by love. We know we will be challenged in our lives, and how much better to meet the myriad challenges of life than to know that we are loved, and loved unconditionally. –Christopher Simon

Oregon’s Carson Kakuske pitches during the fourth inning against the Stoughton Senior Legion Team on Thursday, July 18. Kakuske tossed two innings in relief of starter Jack Walter, as the Panthers lost 5-2 in five innings.
Panthers drop finale Stoughton Senior Legion beats Oregon for second time in three days ADAM FEINER Sports editor
Two days after being shut out by Stoughton, the Oregon summer baseball team had more success at the plate on the Vikings’ home field. The Panthers’ effort was not enough, however, in a 5-2 loss on Thursday, July 18. The game was called
after five innings due to darkness. Oregon tied the game at 1 with two outs in the top of the second inning, as Thor Abraham ripped a double to score Tyler Soule. Stoughton took the lead for good with three runs in the bottom of the second, helped by a pair of Oregon errors. Rylee Carpenter

scored after a throwing error by Oregon third baseman Braden Fry. After Soule’s second error of the game, Ethan Yahn blooped a single into shallow right to score Kadin Milbauer and Brady Estervig. T h e Pa n t h e r s i n c h e d closer in the third, as Alex Jameson scored on a wild pitch by Vikings starter
Owen Chase. Yahn’s sacrifice fly in the fourth capped the scoring. Jameson finished 2-for-3 for Oregon. Jack Walter took the loss, allowing four runs (one earned) on five hits, three walks and three wild pitches. Carson Kakuske allowed one earned runs on three hits in two innings of relief.
John Klus, a 2019 Oregon grad, made five total tackles for the South Large team in the final Wisconsin Football Coaches Association All-Star Game on Saturday, July 21 at Titan Stadium on the campus of Wisconsin-Oshkosh. Four of Klus’ tackles were solos. He recorded his first solo and half a sack on consecutive plays in the first quarter. He also had a solo and an assist midway through the third. The former Panther made a touchdown-saving tackle in the fourth quarter and recorded the final tackle of the game for the South squad, which lost 19-11. Former players at two former Badger Conference schools hooked up for the South’s only touchdown of the game. Sun Prairie’s Cooper Nelson, a preferred walk-on at UW-Madison, caught a 31-yard TD pass from Derek Schwarting of McFarland with 2:04 left
in the second quarter. Blake Wilcox, a preferred walk-on at UW Madison out of Kettle Moraine High School, converted the extra point. A pair of former defenders from the Badger North each recorded a safety for the South squad. Becker Mayer of DeForest had a sack in the end zone, and Chase Maier of Waunakee caused a fumble that rolled out of the back of the end zone. David Hayden of La Crosse Central finished with four interceptions to lead the North to victory, snapping the South’s sixgame winning streak in the Large game. The Large game was the third and final contest on Saturday. The 8-man AllStar Game was cut short due to inclement weather, with the South leading the North 21-6 at halftime. The North Small squad beat the South 21-14. Each player that participated raised at least $750 in funds for Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin.

Orioles can’t snap slump at plate MARK NESBITT Assistant sports editor
A hitting slump derailed any hopes Oregon Home Talent had of moving off the playoff bubble after a 6-1 loss to Belleville on Saturday, July 20 at Belleville Community Park. “I think we looked too much at their record and not at their talent,” Oregon player-manager Parker Debroux said. “They weren’t playing for anything, but they were ready to play.” The game went into a 30-minute rain and lightning delay in the top of the sixth inning and ultimately was called. Oregon drops to 5-9 and trails West Middleton and Argyle with two games left. “All we can do is win out,” Debroux said. “The last thing you want to do is have the fate of your team in the hands of another team.” Belleville’s Andrew Nimtz

Oregon’s Logan Ludlum looks to drive a pitch against Belleville on Saturday, July 20. The Orioles lost 6-1 in five innings. carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning before Oregon’s Will Reinicke ripped a single to left. Nate Reuter had an RBI single up the middle to score Reinicke. Nimtz was dominant early on, retiring the first 13 batters.
The Orioles had only three baserunners in the game and only one reached second. “We came out and looked at too many pitches,” Debroux said. “When we did swing the bat, we didn’t make solid contact.”
The Raiders got off to a hot start against Oregon pitcher Adam Heath. Tyler Dahl singled and stole second, and Jayden Winkers walked. Sam Urqhart, who went 2-for-2 with four stolen bases, recorded an RBI single to center to score Dahl. Blake Noel reached on an error, which led to another run for the Raiders. Urqhart stole home on a double steal to give Belleville a 3-0 lead. The Orioles committed two of their three errors in the fifth, including an overthrow by Heath, which led to two more runs for the Raiders. Belleville’s Coleman Brecke and Sean Schriener each had RBI singles to help the Raiders take a 6-0 lead. “The defense and our hitting didn’t give us a chance to win,” Debroux said. “Adam was pitching his heart out. When you are not swinging the bat and playing good defense, it can be a lonely spot out there.”

Record-breaking summer for OCSC’s Conklin ADAM FEINER Sports editor
Finnley Conklin, 12, of the Oregon Community Swim Club met with Kristian Lee on Wednesday, July 17 to commemorate Conklin breaking two of Lee’s state records this summer. On June 21, Conklin swam the 50-yard breaststroke in a time of 29.15 seconds in a time trial at the Carthage College swimming camp in Kenosha. His time was four one-hundredths of a second faster than Lee’s time set in the
fall of 1991. A week later, Conklin swam the 50-meter breaststroke in 32.76 seconds at a meet in Pleasant Prairie. His time was .36 seconds faster than Lee’s previous record, and is also the fastest in the nation in the 11-12 boys division. Conklin and several of his teammates will compete in the 12 and Under State Championship meet, which runs Friday, July 26 to Sunday, July 28. He will represent Team Wisconsin at the Central Zones Meet the following week.

Those concerns included how the town is notified, what information is shared regarding the crime committed and the person involved, and how the community is protected, as well as the patient. “It’s not a fun situation, and the community concern is absolutely understandable,” Tessmann said at the meeting. “You have to put your faith in the treatment that has been provided at Sand Ridge and faith in the

judge making a good decision about the appropriate protocols for the person being released.” Sand Ridge houses an average of 330 adult men who have been committed to treatment after completing a sentence for their sex crimes within the Department of Corrections. It is required that the patients have a mental disorder that predisposes them to commit future acts of sexual violence, the DHS website states. Because the sex offender is a patient, his identity is protected by patient privacy laws and cannot be disclosed, a communications specialist with DHS said.
No local recourse State law governs most terms of the release, how such patients are placed and how communities are notified of the impending release. Town chair Peter Loughrin told the Town Board at its July meeting municipal officials explored preventing the move but found they aren’t able to do much to avoid a sex offender being placed in their community.
“It’s going to happen, and there’s nothing we can do about it.” Town chair Peter Loughrin “(We) tried to put forth an argument that made sense about the use of the home and if it fits in the land use of the town… we found a state statute was passed (a few) years ago stating categorically no municipalities can put any ordinance or zoning law or fight preventing this from happening,” Loughrin said. “It’s going to happen, and there’s nothing we can do about it.” Act 156, passed in 2016, prevents municipalities from restricting a sex offender from residing at any specific location, as long as the individual is participating in the supervised release program and is compliant with the court orders. Act 156 is an update to a law that goes back to at least 1993, Wis. Stats. 980.08. One of that statute’s provisions requires a committee made up of trained professionals to notify neighbors of residences used to house patients on supervised release. Neighbors aren’t
allowed to be notified before a judge approves the terms of the release, and the community is notified through either flyers, door-to-door contact, a press release or a community meeting. A patient is released to his or her original county of residence, as long as they aren’t near any of the victims of the sex crimes with which they were convicted. DHS officials could not confirm whether the patient previously lived in Dane County. Loughrin acknowledged neighbors’ concerns for their safety but said the move is up to the courts. “(The program) releases violent sex offenders back into the community as long as the judge who hears the cases approves the plan and the house being put up for use meets its requirements,” Loughrin said. “They’ve done their time, so they’re allowed to live.”

are participating in supervised release out of more than 25,000 convicted sex offenders living in Wisconsin, the DHS website states. Patients who participate in the supervised release program have been previously deemed likely to reoffend but have been court ordered for release for making “significant progress” in treatment. After the inmate’s criminal sentence is finished, the state Department of Justice or a county district attorney files a petition for commitment at Sand Ridge. Once admitted, patients are assessed to determine the level of their mental disorder, the results of which determine their treatment track. Once a year, these patients are able to petition their committing court, and if the court determines the patient has reached a point in his treatment where he is no longer likely to reoffend, the court orders either supervised or unsupervised release. To participate, patients must show the treatment can be sustained while on supervised release and it must be “substantially probable” the individual will not engage in an act of sexual violence while on supervised release. Patients are tracked by GPS by the Department of Corrections, and monitors from the Supervised Release Program visit the individual’s resident at scheduled and unscheduled times. These checks monitor both their wellbeing and whether they are complying with the more than 70 program rules. Among the program rules is that patients are prevented from leaving their house unsupervised for the first year, even for such reasons as grocery shopping or yard maintenance.

Active shooter trainings take place at OMS
Photos by Emilie Heidemann
Verona police officer Greg Gentz helps barricade an entrance way to Oregon Middle School with other officers to keep Emergency Medical Technician staff safe in the instance of a school shooter.
A group of police officers all stand with their backs to each other watching for any perpetrators during a scenario to track down the suspect of a shooting. They searched around for evidence and found a shirt with a gun laying on the ground by a wall soon after, so it was clear to them the suspect was nearby.
One of the training scenarios during last week’s active shooter trainings at Oregon Middle School for safety officials around Dane County included what to do when there is a casualty.
McFarland police officer Sydney Peterson scopes out her surroundings in a scenario to find the suspect of a school shooting.
