OCB, McFarland State Bank merge Combined entity has 11 branches, $1.1 billion in assets JIM FEROLIE Observer editor
Oregon’s oldest bank has now joined with an even older organization. Oregon Community Bank and McFarland State Bank announced Monday, Oct. 7, the entities would merge. It
would take place in the first quarter of 2020 if federal regulators approve. The combined organization would have 11 offices, with one each in McFarland, Sun Prairie, Middleton, Waunakee, Adams, Oxford, Grand Marsh, two in Oregon and two in Stoughton. A joint release announcing the agreement said there are no planned layoffs or staff reductions. It said McFarland State Bank
shareholders will become shareholders of Oregon Community Bank. In January, another growing community bank acquired an Oregon branch when State Bank of Cross Plains took over EvansPeotter ville-based Union Bank and Trust.

Flooding causes more closures on Netherwood Pumping to continue for full 24 hours next two days

Netherwood Road closures resumed again as heavy rains and a stressed watershed required the Vi l l a g e o f O r eg o n t o pump water over it from the north. It’s a short-term plan while the village works on a long-term solution, city officials told the Observer. West Netherwood Road between Cusick and

In a Tuesday, Oct. 8 email, Rau wrote the village is making “good progress” on pumping. While Cusick Parkway and West Netherwood Road remain open, the latest plan is to pump water

2020 budget addresses growth, outdoor spaces
Flooding: Closures of Netherwood Road is short-term plan Continued from page 1
Two programs in the proposed Dane County budget that County Executive Joe Parisi unveiled Oct. 1 would have a significant impact on the Oregon area. Those are $600,000 to construct the recently approved Anderson Farm County Park’s off-leash area and $250,000 for the next section of work planned to resurface and improve the Capital City Trail. Parisi’s 2020 county budget proposal, headed to the Dane County Personnel and Finance committee for a round of public meetings next month, totals nearly $592 million, with a capital budget of more than $61.8 million. It would increase the operating portion of the county levy by 3.9% and increase of around $21.85 on the average home, valued at $300,967 this year, according to a county news release. The County Board is set to vote on the 2020 budget at its Monday, Nov. 11 meeting. Parisi said the budget “makes significant investments in compassionate services for our more vulnerable residents, infrastructure improvements to maintain public safety as our community continues to grow, and efforts to preserve our unique outdoor spaces.” Human services
initiatives totaling $231.1 million compose the most s i g n i fi c a n t p o r t i o n o f the budget, including a $500,000 grant program for community centers to launch new mental and behavioral health work for kids and families, and over $600,000 in new funds for those centers to help address young peoples’ mental health needs. The budget allots $33.6 million for “clean lakes, parks for people to play, and trails,” according to the news release. That includes doubling funding for the “Continuous Cover” program piloted last year to reduce run-off and preserve rural character, due to “overwhelming” interest, according to the news release. Last year, the county awarded grants to convert nearly 550 acres that had been in annual row crops into continuous, perennial cover.

Floodwaters flow across W. Netherwood Road into Lerner Conservation Park on Friday, March 15. than an inch higher than the average precipitation for the entire month – and from Lake Barney to the north. The glacial kettle has grown from a 30 acre body to an 800 one, and with no natural outlet, the water filters out through the groundwater or evaporation. Because there’s so much sitting water, neither option is allows for a quick fix. Oregon’s not alone with
its stormwater issues – Dane County has experienced “record breaking rainfall amounts,” Rau pointed out. Nearly 10% of all agricultural land in Dane County was unplanted this year due to standing water in fields, causing minor flooding and saturated ground conditions, the release stated.

Oregon and Town of Oregon are working on longterm solutions that may include new drainage channels, raising west Netherwood Road and installing culverts and installing new outlet structures and culverts at Cusick Parkway. “Until we see decreases in the flows from the Lake Barney Swamp area, we can expect similar closures in the future,” Rau wrote.

Rau said with the impending rain expected Thursday, Oct. 10, and Friday, Oct. 11, pumping will continue for the next two days for 24 hours each day. His Oct. 2 release stated pumping during evening hours was to “ideally” keep West Netherwood Road open during daytime hours to reduce impact to residents. “ E m e rg e n cy s e r v i c e s should evaluate options considering the fact Hwy. M is closed as well,” Rau stated in the release. In a separate email Oct. 2, Rau told the Observer that due to heavy overnight rainfall, the village pumped that morning until 6:30 a.m., opened Netherwood until 9:30 a.m., and closed the road until 3 p.m. for more pumping. “ U n f o r t u n a t e l y, w e can’t control the timing of the rainfall and how it approaches Netherwood,” he wrote. “We do have signage out there including signs showing a 15 mph zone through the water, however not many people are adhering to that,” Rau said.

OPD started the accreditation process shortly after Uhl became chief in 2015, and it gained core accreditation in 2017, meaning it met 49 standards relating to its disciplinary system, use of force, records security, evidence collection, temporary detention procedures and training.

Persistent flooding plaguing the Village of Oregon doesn’t seem to be going away, and some village leaders believe it’s time to get the public involved in figuring out long-term solutions. At Monday’s Village Board meeting, public works director Jeff Rau updated trustees on the ongoing Netherwood Road closures and suggested holding a public water forum in the next several weeks. Trustees who spoke seemed to agree it was a good idea. Rau said a forum would provide an opportunity for members

of the public to ask questions and see that the board is listening to their concerns, even though certain projects take time. “I spend a very large part of the day dealing with frustrated members of the public (about the flooding issue),” Rau said. “I feel for them.” The Oregon Rotary Bike Trail, for example, has been submerged for most of the past two years, but with Lake Barney having expanded from about 30 acres to around 800, there’s no quick fix. “We’ve talked exhaustedly about (flooding) in the past – how it’s affected our bike path,” he said. “It’s been (at its worst) with the amount of water we are getting.”
Rau said his department’s priority is to keep Netherwood Road open “as much as possible,” especially in accordance with bus schedules, though that’s mostly been limited to peak hours over the past week as the village pumps water across the road. “We have to pump for another two weeks under our plan,” Rau said. Rau suggested a good time for a water forum would be near the end of October or early November, but an exact date still merits discussion with the village.

The comments also address the Police Commission and how it “rarely meets in a transparent and statutorily appropriate fashion.” The village’s web site shows three Police Commission meetings have been held since early 2017.

Oregon Community
Bank was established in 1976 and has operated independently in Oregon ever since. It began expanding in 2016 with a mortgage service center in the village, then opened branches in Waunakee, Adams, Oxford and Grand Marsh over the next two years.

“This merger is an excellent fit for both organizations and will create one of the largest community banks in Dane County with over $1.1 billion in assets,” Locke wrote. “It brings together two locally-run, family-owned banking organizations that have strong, customer-focused staffs and a culture rich in service to the community.” The release noted local donations made by the two banks over the past year.

Manure ordinance raises standards JUSTIN LOEWEN UNG correspondent
A new ordinance has increased standards and requirements for manure spreading in Dane County. Chapter 49 of the Dane
County Code of Ordinances went into effect July 1, replacing subchapter 1 of the county’s older manure ordinance, Chapter 14. Along with cleaning up some confusing language, the new ordinance incorporates recommendations from Dane County’s Healthy Farms, Healthy Lakes Task Force. These include adopting state standards and prohibitions, broadening manure storage requirements, adding a certificate of use
On the Web
View the complete ordinance at:
countyofdane.com program and expanding the county’s winter spreading permit. State agricultural performance standards require that farmers must retain soil on their land, cannot till up to streams of banks and must comply with the state phosphorus index. Farmers must also operate manure
storage facilities properly and abandon them if there is a health threat, must have clean water diversions and must have a nutrient management plan on file. Agricultural prohibitions maintain that manure storage facilities must not overflow, manure piles in a water quality management area must not be uncovered and there must be no direct runoff into water of the state. A 20-year manure storage permit costs $1,000
and requires that new structures have a 350-foot setback from property lines and roads. Permit users must also include storage systems that can process wastewater and collect runoff from barnyards. To ensure farmers are following these requirements, the ordinance is introducing a certificate of use program for all manure storages. If the county receives the application by Nov. 1, 2020, it will waive the $1,000 fee. The ordinance also

Controlling Our Desires “The Old Testament story of Esau giving up his birthright for a bowl of stew illustrates a variety of important lessons, and perhaps the most relevant one is that our appetites can make us impulsive and prone to bad judgement: “Once when Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came in from the open country, famished. He said to Jacob, ‘Quick, let me have some of that red stew! I’m famished!’Jacob replied, ‘First sell me your birthright.’ ‘Look,I am about to die,’Esau said. ‘What good is the birthright to me?’But Jacob said, ‘Swear to me first.’ So he swore an oath to him, selling his birthright to Jacob.Then Jacob gave Esau some bread and some lentil stew. He ate and drank, and then got up and left. So Esau despised his birthright.” (Genesis 25:29-34 NIV) Like Esau, we often make bad decisions and act impulsively because our appetites get the upper hand. Not only are we prone to the loss of our assets, but we are likely to say or do things we will regret.The lesson here is as much about controlling our impulses as it is about being careful to not make important decisions when our appetites are engaged. Going to the grocery store when you’re famished is a bad idea. Conversely, it is possible to make your desires and appetites work for you. As the saying goes,“Hunger is the best sauce.” Desire is not inherently bad; it can be used for good or ill. Staying hungry, as it were, can be a strong motivator. Consider how to harness your appetites in order to improve your life.” — Christopher Simon

Panthers collect marquee wins MARK NESBITT Assistant sports editor
A heads-up play by Oregon junior Pat Brognano led to a goal off a direct kick and lifted the Panthers to a 1-0 win over Monona Grove on Tuesday, Oct. 8, in a Badger South Conference showdown at Huntoon Field. “Not many people expected this result,” Brognano said. “It makes a statement that we can compete with those top teams. We can battle, fight and get the result we want against any team.” Oregon (8-4-1, 4-0 Badger South), ranked ninth in the Division 2 Wisconsin Soccer Coaches Association state poll, are in the driver’s seat to win a third straight conference title after the win over the seventh-ranked Silver Eagles. “It was a playoff atmosphere,” Oregon coach Chris Mitchell said. “It’s conference and both teams know the eye on the prize is more than that.” The Panthers went on the road and shut out Mount Horeb 2-0 on Thursday, Oct. 3.

strike before the Silver Eagles could set up a wall for the direct kick, resulting in an easy goal in the 11th minute. “I thought it was supposed to be a penalty kick since I thought I got fouled inside the box,” he said. “The ref put it right outside the box. They were not expecting me to take it quick. If they set up a wall the way they should have right in front of me, I would have done everything completely different. It was just really easy to catch them off guard.” Oregon junior goalkeepe r C o l t r a n e L o B r eg l i o had eight saves and had to leave the game twice in the final 19 minutes after being knocked down. LoBreglio made a critical save in the 66th minute. Two minutes later, Monona Grove junior Connor Bracken fired a shot off the post. LoBreglio was ran into in the 72nd minute and forced to leave the game because of an injury. Fellow junior Lincoln Martin came on as a substitute, and minutes later, senior Ethan Vandermause made a sliding clear of the ball to preserve the lead.

I had full confidence that they could take care of the work out there.” “He’s a tough guy to score on,” Mitchell said of LoBreglio. “There was one big save on a set piece that really stands out in my mind where no other keeper I’ve seen this year makes that save. “He’s really gained some discipline as a keeper that he lacked at the beginning of the year. He’s such a great shot-stopper.”

Senior Collin Bjerke scored two goals to propel the Panthers to a nonconference win over the Vikings. Bjerke scored his first goal via penalty kick in the 43rd minute. He added another goal off an assist from Alex Rodriguez in the 55th minute. Oregon put nine shots on goal to Mount Horeb’s four. LoBreglio picked up the shutout in net.

Oregon’s season comes to a close ADAM FEINER Sports editor
Oregon junior Alyssa Schmidt had momentum coming into the Division 1 Madison Memorial Regional after winning the individual title at the Badger South Conference Tournament. Schmidt’s aspirations of leading the Panthers to the DeForest Sectional and a finish at or near the top of the leaderboard came to an end after seven holes on Friday, Oct. 4. She tried to fight through an injury on the front nine at Madison’s Blackhawk Country Club, but was ultimately forced to withdraw. “She battled and tried to play through it,” Oregon coach Eric Instefjord said of Schmidt’s injury. “That was a huge blow to us. She carries us with that low score. When you lose that, you don’t have the option of canceling out the high score.” The Panthers rounded out the seven-team field with a score of 488. Junior Sam McKee placed 19th with a team-best 110. Freshman Tori Disch tied for 27th with a 120, freshman Kennedy Gladden was 32nd with a 126, and freshman Reece King rounded out Oregon’s counting scores in 35th place with a 132. “For the most part,

Madison Memorial won the regional title with a team
score of 376. Stoughton (394), Jefferson (425) and Fort Atkinson (432) also advanced to the DeForest Sectional. Stoughton senior Myranda Kotlowski earned medalist honors as the only player to break 80 with a 7-overpar 79.

Silver Eagles stymie Panthers ADAM FEINER Sports editor
Oregon looked as though it might run right over Monona Grove after a dominant first drive Friday, Oct. 4, at Panther Field. Instead, the Silver Eagles won the line of scrimmage en route to a 21-7 win over the Panthers. Monona Grove out-gained Oregon 435-180 yards, with Brady Killerlain rushing for 167 yards and three touchdowns on 18 carries in the first half. Oregon (3-4, 2-3 Badger South) drove 80 yards in 11 plays to begin the contest. Austin Saunders took a counter play around the left side for a 27-yard touchdown with 6:45 left in the first quarter. “I came around the corner and saw a hole outside,” Saunders said. “Two guys crashed to the outside, so I cut it up and had to break a couple of tackles on my way to the end zone.” The Panthers had just 13 yards on its next six possessions. Oregon entered MG territory twice more in the first half, but both drives fizzled. “We were missing assignments,” Oregon coach Dan Kissling said. “We kept things simple and stayed ahead of the chains in the first quarter,

The Panthers lost 21-7. but started to make mistakes later in the game.” Monona Grove (3-4, 3-2), the defending conference champion, responded with a swift five-play, 70-yard scoring drive. Killerlain capped the drive with a 39-yard
touchdown burst at the 5:06 mark of the first. The Silver Eagles forced a three-and-out and went ahead for good with 11:03 left in the second quarter, as Killerlain capped an eight-play, 57-yard drive with an 11-yard
touchdown. Oregon’s defense held MG at bay for most of the second quarter, but Killerlain capped a seven-play, 67-yard drive with a 2-yard touchdown plunge with 35 seconds left in the first half.
A holding penalty wiped out Mason Grender’s 30-yard touchdown run late in the third quarter, and the Panthers’ drive ended with a turnover on downs at the MG 27-yard line. The Oregon defense forced a turnover on downs deep
in its own territory midway through the fourth, but fumbled on the ensuing possession. The Silver Eagles stopped the Panthers in the game’s final minute to preserve the second-half shutout. Killerlain finished with 33 carries for 229 yards. Quarterback Casey Marron was 12-for-20 for 163 yards passing, rushing six times for 36 yards. Oregon’s multi-pronged rushing attack was held to 82 yards on 32 carries. Grender led the way with eight carries for 26 yards. Saunders (nine carries) and Damien Johnson (four carries) each had 19 yards on the ground. Erik Victorson finished 8-for-21 for 98 yards passing. Matt Kissling intercepted a tipped pass in first quarter. Brady Gagner forced and recovered a fumble in the second quarter. Nate Hall had a sack in the fourth quarter. Oregon will look to keep its playoff hopes alive at home against Watertown (5-2, 3-2) on Friday. The Goslings are coming off a 25-14 loss to Stoughton. “It’s my job to instill confidence in these kids and get them back on track,” Dan Kissling said. “We have playmakers, and when we give them opportunities, we can score a lot of points.”

Oregon runs to fourth in Stoughton MARK NESBITT Assistant sports editor
Oregon freshman Dasha Vorontsov ran a season-best time of 19:58.4 at the Stoughton Invitational on Saturday, Oct. 5. It was the first time all season she broke the 20-minute mark, finishing ninth out of 78 runners. “My goal is always to get less than 20 (minutes),” Vorontsov said. “I started out a little too fast and I felt it later on. I have to push myself to the limit and really believe
in myself.” The Panthers had four of the top 27 runners to take fourth with 126 points. Senior Zoe Frank took 21st (20:50.4), and junior Clara Hughes finished 25th (20:58). The top 25 runners medaled. “This team has some very high goals for the end of the season, and the neatest thing about that is that they are willing to work hard and make the necessary sacrifices to achieve those goals,” Oregon coach Doug Debroux said. “This mentality of working hard, continually
improving and being willing to give it everything you have – in practice and in racing – for the team is what makes Dasha and many of her teammates set personal records.” Julia Hutchinson took 27th (21:01.7) and Bryanna Salazar placed 44th (22:03.4) to round out the Panthers’ lineup. Middleton (39 points) edged Big Eight Conference rival Madison West (43) for the team title. The Cardinals’ Lauren Pansegrau crossed the finish line first with a time of 18:04.1.

“You won’t win many close matches when you miss 13 serves,” Oregon coach Jenn Grulke said. The Panthers got aces from Cochems and Abby Schroeder to build a 16-9 lead in the first set. Oregon went through a rough stretch with two hits into the net and a tip that went out of bounds, and Monroe battled back to tie the score at 24 and ultimately take the opening set. “We were very competitive at times,” Grulke said. “At other times, we lost our focus and lost a little bit of the confidence and got flustered. We had a lot more unforced errors than we are used to.” The Cheesemakers jumped out to an 8-1 lead in the second set. Malcook had a key ace to tie the set at 14, and Monroe def.

O r eg o n p u l l e d a h e a d 20-12 in the third set after an ace by Christenson and kills by Swenson and Engel. Monroe’s Katie Hayes notched two aces and scored four straight service points to slice the Panthers’ lead to 23-20, but Engel capped the set with a kill to extend the match to a fourth set. Monroe charged out to a 10-3 lead in the final set. Oregon chipped away at the
deficit, as Cochems came through with a kill to give the Panthers a 15-14 lead. The two teams traded points before the Cheesemakers eventually pulled away to end the match. “ O u r s e r v i c e r e c e ive showed up,” Grulke said. “We just didn’t execute our offense. Our defensive passing was mediocre, and when you are not passing well, it’s hard to get your middles involved.” Cochems recorded a team-high 13 kills. Swenson added 10 kills and three blocks. Christenson finished with 36 assists. Malcook racked up 24 digs and served a team-high six aces. The Cheesemakers targeted Malcook with serves throughout the match. “I was really surprised because they kept on serving to her,” Grulke said. “I wasn’t going to complain. I think she kept us calm in the back row when we got flustered. She stepped up and made big plays.”

Bobby Nichols has been named the new head coach of the Oregon varsity girls soccer team. Nichols replaces Nelson Brownell, who moved out of state after the 2019 season. “I am very excited to have the opportunity to enhance the already impressive academic and athletic performance of our current and future athletes at Oregon,” Nichols said in a press release obtained by the Observer. “A great soccer coach requires being a dedicated and organized individual with strong leadership skills, excellent communication skills and the ability to build relationships among athletes, coaches, administrators and community members. I cannot wait to get started.” Nichols, a Missouri native, played collegiately at NCAA Division II Missouri Southern State University. For the past 27 years, he has held coaching positions at Missouri Southern State, Sedalia Smith-Cotton High School (MO), Edgewood College, the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, Milton High School and Wisconsin Rush (Yahara-MYSC) Soccer Club. Nichols coached the
girls soccer team at Milton for 18 years, and coached the Red Hawks’ boys soccer team for five Nichols years. “Coach Nichols comes to Oregon as a highly-respected coach who has worked and had success across a variety of levels of soccer” OHS athletic director Mike Carr said in a press release. “He has had a positive impact on student-athletes throughout his career. We are confident that with his extensive coaching experience, his passion for working with young people and his love of the game, he will continue to build on our championship soccer tradition.” Nichols has been on the faculty at Milton for 25 years. He holds an undergraduate degree in physical education and a master’s degree in curriculum and instruction. He is also licensed by the U.S. Soccer Federation. Oregon finished last season 18-0-1, winning their second Division 2 state championship in their fifth straight state tournament appearance. The Panthers were ranked 24th in the nation by USA Today. Oregon returns 14 letterwinners from last year’s squad.

Panthers can’t keep up with Crusaders MARK NESBITT Assistant sports editor
Madison Edgewood, the top-ranked Division 2 team in the Wisconsin Interscholastic Swim Coaches Association state poll, won 10 of 11 events to hand Oregon a 10466 loss on Tuesday, Oct. 8, at the Oregon Community Pool. The lone win for the Panthers came from junior Zoe Rule, who finished first in the 100-meter butterfly with a time of 1:09.65. Oregon dropped to 3-3 in Badger South dual meets. Edgewood (6-0 Badger South) has won four straight WIAA Division 2 state championships and has its sights set on the top prize once again. “We have really set a standard where you have to earn a state title every year,” Edgewood coach Emily Schwabe said. “You don’t just repeat it. At the end of the day, we have a young team with new girls, and this is our year to
do what we want to do now.” Edgewood freshman Izzy Enz and senior Maeve O’Driscoll each had a hand in winning four events. Enz won the 200 individual medley (2:31) and 100 backstroke (1:09.81). O’Driscoll finished first in the 100 breaststroke (1:23.27) and 400 freestyle (4:51.04). Enz and O’Driscoll teamed with sophomores Claire Sweeney and Abby Reid to win the 200 medley relay with a time of 2:08.29. O’Driscoll and Sweeney teamed with senior DeeDee Walker and freshman Sophie Reed to take first in the 400 free relay (4:14.06). Abby Reid also won two individual events – the 100 free (1:03.44) and 200 free (2:15.43). The Crusaders’ 200 free relay team of Enz, Walker and the Reids took first with a time of 1:54.18.

underclassmen the ropes and what we do to maintain that culture.” Oregon freshman Izzy Block took second in the 100 butterfly (1:10.43) and 200 IM (2:36.83). Junior Halle Bush finished second in the
100 free (1:05.19) and 200 free (2:21.97). The Panthers’ 200 medley relay team of Block, Rule, junior Victoria Helvig and freshman Noelle Marsh placed second with a time of 2:14.05. Block, Bush,
Rule and Marsh also took second in the 200 free relay (1:56.80). Bush and Marsh teamed with freshmen Jane Ciambrone and Hailey Sieren in the Panthers’ second-place 400 free relay (4:29.32).

Badger Conference realignment set for 2021-22 school year MARK NESBITT Assistant sports editor
Beginning in the 2021-22 school year, Oregon will no longer be in the same conference as Stoughton for all sports. On Monday, Sept. 30, the Badger Conference principals and athletic directors announced a conference realignment plan for all sports except football to go into effect in the 2021-22 school year. The conference will realign with an East/West format, according to a news release from the conference. Oregon is being placed in the Badger West Conference’s South Division, and Stoughton will be in the Badger East’s South Division. Fo o t b a l l h a s a s e p arate realignment plan that changed schools in the Badger, Big Eight and Rock Valley conferences. The plan will take effect next fall. When Watertown and Beaver Dam joined the Badger Conference in 2017, the principals voted to re-examine conference alignment after two years. The conference principals in the fall of 2018 directed the athletic directors to review the alignment, taking into account geographic locations, the distance each

Badger West — South Division: Madison Edgewood 497, Monroe 723, Mount Horeb 776, Oregon 1,149. Badger East — North Division: Beaver Dam (1,067), DeForest (1,017), Watertown (1,302), Waunakee (1,303). Badger East — South Division: Fort Atkinson (957), Milton (1,126), Monona Grove (1,076), Stoughton (968). school travels, school size and competitive balance. In spring 2019, the athletic directors proposed an East/West Division format. That proposal was approved by the principals at their April meeting. The rationale behind the move is that the East/ West alignment creates a more equitable distribution of total miles traveled throughout the conference, according to the release. Reduced travel on school nights was a priority to minimize missed class time for
student-athletes. T h e E a s t / We s t D iv i sions better aligns schools, according to enrollment with the East containing seven of the eight “large” schools and the West containing seven of the eight “small” schools. Oregon and Fort Atkinson are the exceptions. Athletic directors the rest of this school year will create scheduling concepts to utilize the four-school divisional format, aligning it to the specific scheduling details for each sport.
