Village denies lawsuit claims Machovec sues village following rejection of liquor license BILL LIVICK Unified Newspaper Group

A businessman who was denied a liquor license last year is suing the Village of Oregon.

In a complaint filed Aug. 24, Patrick Machovec claims the Village acted negligently and its police chief, Brian Uhl, made “false, defamatory and libelous statements” when the Village Board rejected his application.

Machovec is suing Uhl and the village for unspecified financial compensation for “damages resulting from mental distress, harm to reputation and other losses,” his attorney wrote in the summons.

On Sept. 20, village attorneys answered, denying nearly every statement in the complaint.

Machovec applied for a license in July 2016 and planned to open a liquor

store on North Main Street in the building that formerly housed Alpine Liquors, now Mahen’s Liquor Oregon.

The board denied Machovec’s application in September 2016 on the grounds he had provided false information on his application. Responses on the application indicated he had never been convicted for any offenses, but court records show that Machovec was found guilty in 2010 of three counts of misdemeanor criminal damage to property. Two counts of felony stalking were dismissed after Machovec completed a First Offender program.

In late September 2016, the Village Board voted unanimously to deny the liquor license application.

It was the fourth board meeting on the application. At the meeting, Village President Steve Staton said it was “clear that Patrick Machovec does not have an honest and trustworthy character,” citing his application that wrongly stated he had

There are many good educational opportunities for students in the Oregon School District, but not all students can take advantage of them.

That’s when it helps to have some Friends.

Linzmeier said he has a goal to get the suits in before the end of the year, and they are well on their way to earning enough funds to purchase the suits.

In addition to raising money for the new apparel, EMS volunteers handed out batteries for fire and carbon monoxide detectors as part of fire prevention week.

The Oregon Area Fire and EMS Association held a pancake breakfast on Sunday, raising funds to help purchase new cold water rescue suits.

Chief Glenn Linzmeier told the Observer that more than 400 people attended and around $3,000 was raised, before expenses were accounted for.

The suits will allow rescue crews to submerge in the water and float while rescuing people who have fallen in. During dangerous conditions, like thin ice, it can be particularly difficult for crews to go after people who are in trouble.

“We’re broadening our operational levels,” Linzmeier said. “We’ve already had a few incidents with people out stranded in the water, but also folks who went through the thin ice.”

Haley Bayreuther hands out batteries for smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors.

not been convicted of any offense.

Staton said he didn’t believe that Machovec had been truthful with the village, thereby disqualifying him from being approved as the designated agent for Monumental Enterprises, LLC. Machovec owns liquor stores in Fitchburg, Madison, McFarland and Cottage Grove.

His attorney, Charles Giesen, alleges that a letter Uhl wrote to the Village Board recommending it deny Machovec’s application contained false and libelous statements.

The police chief wrote he was recommending denial “because I believe there is a substantial relationship between Mr. Machovec’s habitual criminality as it relates to stalking of women … three different women from 1995-2009, and solicitation of prostitution and sex acts …”

He wrote that one of the women was employed by Machovec at one of his liquor stores. Uhl alleged that Machovec solicited sex acts while the woman was “on duty” and that “he paid this employee $20,000 for sex acts over a four-year period.”

In the summons, Giesen alleges that “those false, defamatory and libelous statements were presented to the Village of Oregon and

posted on the Village’s website and were therefore communicated directly to third parties and available for the public to view and download.”

He charged that Uhl’s intent was to “lower the plaintiff’s reputations” in the community and that “Uhl did not conduct any independent investigations” and acted “maliciously and with intentional disregard” of Machovec’s rights.

The summons alleges the Village of Oregon “acted negligently in not attempting to corroborate” Uhl’s statements.

Through its attorneys, the village responded that Uhl’s statements were “conditionally privileged” and were “true or substantially true.”

Attorneys Ted Waskowski and Kyle Engelke, who represent the village and Uhl, said the plaintiffs – which are Machovec and his business, Monumental Enterprises – “may have failed to mitigate their damages,” and “failed to state a claim upon which relief may be granted.”

The attorneys cited Wisconsin statute 893.80, which says acts done by an officer in an official capacity cannot be sued for unless a complaint is made within 120 days of the alleged violation, and it has “an itemized statement of relief.”

Letters to the editor

How to avoid nuclear war Here are some suggestions which could help President Donald Trump and his administration avoid a mutually devastating nuclear war with North Korea.

1) Use respectful language with our adversaries.

2) We will abhor it, but the United States may have to grudgingly accept that North Korea will never give up its nuclear weapons because North Korea and its leaders are convinced they need such weapons to feel secure.

3) Affirm a “no first use” nuclear weapons policy toward North Korea.

4) Negotiate a formal end to the Korean War which reassures North Korea that they won’t be attacked, and that their sovereignty is recognized by the United States and South Korea.

5) Freeze U.S-South Korean military exercises and other demonstrations of force.

6) Reestablish diplomatic relationships with North Korea.

7) Adopt a policy of deterrence

toward North Korea, while maintaining sanctions and incentives to limit their nuclear weapons program.

8) Commit to implementing the Non-Proliferation Treaty which promotes nonproliferation of new nuclear weapons states, real disarmament by existing nuclear weapons states and peaceful use of nuclear energy.

9) Adequately resource the United Nations International Atomic Energy Agency which provides verification to insure nonproliferation of nuclear weapons and nuclear weapons technology.

We have found a way to keep a fragile peace, nurture economic and diplomatic relationships and provide for deterrence for far more menacing foes, i.e. the former Soviet Union, Russia and China and can do the same with North Korea.

Keep pets comfortable, safe during Halloween

H

alloween has always been my favorite holiday.

While a bag full of treats and scary costumes make me happy, these things can be a real terror for some pets.

The hazards come in two flavors: environmental and edibles.

Environmental hazards generally involve the heightened stress levels that come with many visitors over the course of a few hours.

The edible hazards come with the treats, many of which are toxic to Antolec dogs and cats.

I trained a Dachshund puppy named Sparky, and he was a happy little guy until he entered adolescence and a developmental fear stage. Then he became alarmed at every person passing by his home. He often stood guard at the window waiting for scary things to bark at.

For Sparky, environmental things threatened him.

His owners called me to help Sparky a few weeks before Halloween. We agreed since Sparky was already frightened by passersby, the prospect of dozens of strangers wearing costumes parading up to the front door and entering the home would likely terrify him.

Some intensive training and behavior modification enabled Sparky to develop confidence, and he coped very well with the 70 or so trick-or- treat visitors the family hosted Halloween evening.

Had the owners not planned ahead, poor Sparky would have been spooked.

Another problem that comes from greeting Halloween visitors repeatedly through the afternoon or evening is that frightened dogs or cats could easily rush out the door and become lost.

Any holiday or special event in which people are coming and going can expose pets to risk,

which is why Fourth of July is the single busiest day of the year at pet shelters due to frightened animals getting lost.

Preparing a pet safe haven, as Sparky’s owners did, gives pets a secure and comfortable place to go, preferably with a companion and toys to play with.

A safe haven is a space set aside for a pet to be away from guests and visitors, secured by a door.

Locking the door prevents accidental release. If a family member can remain with the pet during the activity, then engaging in play or training games provides companionship and distraction.

A professional pet sitter might also be engaged to fill that role.

If nobody is available to help, consider placing your pet in the safe zone with food-filled toys to play with, such as a Kong, Wobble Kong or Magic Mushroom.

Calming music such as iCalmDog or Through A Dog’s Ear reduce stress. Lavender essential oil has calming effect, as does an Adaptil diffuser for dogs and Feliway for cats. Zylkene is a safe canine calming product derived from cow’s milk and comes in powder or capsules.

To prevent the alarming repetition of knocking and doorbell ringing, you might consider stationing yourself outside the front door wearing a costume, offering treats before children startle your pet.

Your veterinarian can also prescribe fast acting anti-anxiety medication for the event.

Each of these options has been suggested to me by several board-certified veterinary behaviorists to reduce anxiety and fear.

While the noises and interruptions of Trick-or- Treaters are obvious problems, less wellknown are the dangers posed by treats themselves.

Some fruits and candies can sicken pets and should be kept away from curious animals through strict management.

Keeping a dish full of treats by the door might be convenient to hand out but can also be snatched by hungry dogs when nobody is looking.

Most people know chocolate is harmful to dogs, but it is also bad for cats. Solid chocolate is worse than a thin coating, and dark chocolate is more dangerous than milk chocolate.

Grapes and raisins are even worse, and eating a single one could kill a dog.

Those who prefer handing out sugar-free treats should know that xylitol is an artificial sweetener found in hundreds of products including gum and candies.

Eating even a little can cause severe liver damage or death.

The safest strategy is using careful management keeping treats and pets away from one another and carefully inspecting each treat your child brings home. Children may enjoy offering their treats to pets, so careful supervision is critical.

If you suspect your dog has eaten something harmful, call the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435 or Pet Poison Helpline at (855) 764-7661. Both are available 24 hours a day, year-round. Also identify in advance the emergency veterinary clinic nearest your home and post that information on your refrigerator beside the poison hotline numbers.

You might also consult your veterinarian prior to the holiday and seek emergency advice for “what if” scenarios. It is hard to think clearly and remember things during a crisis, so written notes will help you do what is most beneficial and in a timely manner.

Plan to keep your kids and pets safe so you can enjoy the creepiest holiday of the year.

Josephine Gregory

Josephine Marie Gregory was born on Feb. 24, 1923, in Phillips, Wis., and died on Tuesday, Oct. 10, 2017, at home in Oregon surrounded by her family.

Josephine was the daughter of Judge Felix August Kremer and Alice Marie (Lowe) Kremer.

She graduated early from Phillips High School with the class of 1940 (second in her class at age 17, behind the superintendent’s son, a gentle rival), where she made her early lifelong friends, returning for and organizing class reunions for over 60 years. She followed her brother John to UW-Madison to study English literature and pursue her passion for books, poetry, and politics.

She was active in the young Progressives, following in her father’s footsteps after he served as a Progressive in the Wisconsin State Assembly in 1937. Unable to continue her studies due to World War II, Jo completed secretarial school and worked for John Teeporten, Wisconsin Director of the Department of Vocational, Technical, and Adult Education. Jo made another set of lifelong friends during those years, including Betty Klusmann. Together they formed the Chat Club, a group that continued to meet for over 45 years. In 1953, along with Betty, Mary, and Margaret Klusmann, Jo moved to Lake Monona where they enjoyed boating, hosting social and political parties, and her dreamy pink Pontiac

Mike loved living life, sought out adventure, a good challenge, hard work, and treasured his family and good friends. He lived life to the fullest and enjoyed every minute! He enjoyed the fruits of a two Bone Marrow Transplants in October of 2009 and November 2016 which provided many more wonderful years of life.

Mike is survived by his immediate family: his wife of 14 years, Judi; a daughter, Victoria Kipp (Wade Olson), Randall (Jennifer) Way; Richard (Heather) Way; six grandchildren, Griffin Kipp, Westin Kipp, Tyler Olson, Amelia Way, Charles Way, Tighearnan Way, his sister Patricia (Richard) Heller, many more extended family members and special friends.

Mike and family would like to extend his sincere appreciation to Dr. Albert M u s a a n d D r. E d wa r d Prendergast with the Dean Health Systems for having the courage to make a Bone

Marrow Transplant possible.

He also would like to thank the doctors and staff at the UW Carbone Cancer Center and the UW Hospital, especially Dr. Walter L. Longo, his team and the Nursing Staff at the UW Hospital (6E) whom provided the support and excellent care.

A special thanks to my first Bone Marrow Donor, my friend for life; Niels Biewer of Osnabruck, Germany.

When there was no hope, these people gave us a miracle! Mike’s second donor stem cells came from newborn cord blood donated by altruistic parents. But most of all; for the love and care that his wife Judi gave him in achieving a second chance at life.

convertible. Through her brother Felix, Jo met Ivan Gregory, and they married in 1958. Jo then left state employment and moved to Oregon to raise her children. She volunteered and was active in many pursuits, including First Presbyterian Church, Eastern Star, the Madison Saddle Club, the Madison Charity Horse Show, 4H, and as a Brownie leader.

In 1972, Ivan designed and built the Stable Supper Club which he and Jo operated for five years. Jo did the bookkeeping during the day and the hostessing during the evening. There, they demonstrated the principles of hard work for their three growing children, who all had their first jobs at the Stable. Deep family bonds and friendships with employees and customers were created during the Stable years, serving Friday fish fry, Sunday brunch, and wedding parties for 350 guests.

In 1977, Jo went to work for Dane County. She was arraignment clerk for George Northrup, and when he became a judge, they were the first to work in the newly created Branch 14. Jo wrote the daily Looking Backward column for the Capital Times for over 20 years. She enjoyed researching Madison area people and events from microfiche newspaper editions from 10, 25, and 50 years past and got great pleasure from hearing how much those who were featured appreciated her efforts.

Retiring at age 72, Jo was able to devote more time to her church and community, serving as a Session Elder, secretary of Sienna Crest, president of Town and Country Women’s Club, and supporting the Friends of the Oregon Library, among many other interests.

Jo delighted in the joy of gardening, the companionship of her dog Duchess, watching the birds, nurturing her beloved grandchildren, coaching the Packers from her living room, and taking

multiple trips to England and France.

In retirement, every night was Friday night, and every day was Saturday. Annual trips to Lake Namakagon, east of Cable, Wis., began in the 1930’s at Jo’s family’s cottage where Lakewoods Resort is now located. They continued through this summer at Four Seasons Resort where Jo and her family maintained their tradition for the past 43 years. Jo loved fishing, first rowing, then operating runabouts, and finally piloting her own powder blue Lund to the same Namakagon hot spots in search of that next walleye.

Jo is survived by her children, Gail (Karen Ludvigsen) Gregory of Oregon, Dale Gregory of Monona and Jill (Terry) Arndt of Brooklyn; her grandchildren, Lindsay (Travis) Engelhart of Oregon and Ryan Arndt of Brooklyn; special niece, Diane (Robert) Jenkins; nieces, Kay Smith, Donna Rae Riley and Betty Minor; nephews, John M. Kremer III, Scott Kremer, Mark Kremer, Greg Gochnour, Mark Gochnour, David Gregory, Paul Gregory and Bill Gregory; sisters-in-law, Dorothy Kremer, Ruth Gochnour and Roseann Gregory.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Ivan D. Gregory; and her brothers John M. Kremer and Felix A. Kremer.

Funeral services was held at First Presbyterian Church, 408 N. Bergamont Blvd., Oregon, at 10 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 14, 2017. Burial was at Prairie Mound Cemetery.

Visitation was held at Gunderson Oregon Funeral and Cremation Care, 1150 Park St., Oregon, from 4-7 p.m.

Friday, Oct. 13, 2017, and at the church from 9 a.m. until the time of the service on Saturday. Memorials may be directed to First Presbyterian Church, Oregon, Agrace HospiceCare, or to a charity of your choice in Jo’s name.

Virgil G. Lamb

Virgil Lamb

Virgil Glenn Lamb, age 94, was honored with his Heavenly Wings after passing away on Saturday, Oct. 7, 2017, at Stoughton Hospital following a brief illness. Virgil’s life was filled with love for his family and especially for his wife, Mary Lou, of 76 years and his many friends.

He was a true patriot, a hero, and was passionate and dedicated in serving our country, his community and his fellow citizens.

Virgil was born April 28, 1923, to Jack and Fannie Lamb on the family farm located on King Road south of Brooklyn, Wis. As a young man, he worked on the family farm, and joined the family trucking business while attending Jug Prairie Country School and Brooklyn High School. He married his high school sweetheart, Mary Lou Jordan, at Wisconsin Methodist Church in Oshkosh, beginning a loving partnership that blossomed with five children.

Early in their married life with two little children and helping to run the family trucking business, World War II ramped up and Virgil was drafted into the U.S. Marine Corps.

While valiantly serving in the South Pacific as a part of Headquarters Company, 21st Marines, third Marine Division, he was wounded on top of a mountain on Iwo Jima. Virgil was transported by hospital ship to Saipan, but the hospital was full, so they flew him to Tinian where he recovered. He was sent back to

When “The Bomb” was dropped, the war ended and they shipped everyone home on ships to California and then trains back h o m e . Vi rg i l r e t u r n e d home on the day his youngest daughter turned two years old.

He rejoined the trucking business hauling cattle to market, lime to area farmers, and canned milk to the Bowman Dairy Plant in Brooklyn. Virgil converted his canned route to the new technology of a bulk milk truck and served area farmers for many years.

He eventually sold his business and worked for Dane County Highway Department, maintaining the roads until his retirement in 1980. Virgil was especially dedicated and proud to keep Highway 14 and 138 clear of snow and ice.

Being a man who always served others, even while enduring significant pain from his war injuries, he was a proud member of the Oregon-Brooklyn VFW Post No. 10272, Brooklyn American Legion, Brooklyn Area Booster Club, Brooklyn Village Board (25 years) and as its president (5 years), and as a member of the Brooklyn Volunteer Fire Department for about 40 years. He was additionally honored with induction to the Forty and Eight (La Société des Quarante Hommes et Huit Chevaux.)

Virgil is survived by his wife, Mary Lou Lamb; son-in-law, Jack Thornton of Janesville; daughter, Shirley (Larry) Gilbert of Oregon; and sons, Vi r g i l ( D o n n a ) L a m b of Puyallup, Wash., and Alan (Susan) Lamb of McFarland; grandchildren, Scott (Dora) Thornton of Oxnard, Calif., Trisha (Brent) Rust of Janesville, Robert (Rhonda) Gustafson of Dane, Melinda (CJ) Gustafson-Gervasi of Madison, Annique (Dane‘) London of Minneapolis, Minn., Jeremy (Jill) Gilbert of Hillsboro, Jon (Annette) Lamb of

A funeral service with military honors was held at Brooklyn Community United Methodist Church, 201 Church St., Brooklyn, at 11 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 14, 2017. The family welcomed friends at the church beginning at 9:30 a.m. until the time of the service on Saturday. Everyone is welcome to join the family in the church basement for lunch following the services. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be directed to the family.

A Deep Yearning “If you would be loved, love,and be loveable.”

—Benjamin Franklin We all desire to love and to be loved, and we all know the pain of loneliness and lost love. The desire to understand others and to be understood is at bottom an attempt to feel connected.We are simply not whole by ourselves and require the connection with others that comes most completely through love to regain our sense of wholeness. This is perhaps the most pressing problem of the modern world— loneliness, alienation and disconnectedness.Much of what is said about the value of the individual and his or her right to live as he or she sees fit contributes to people “doing their own thing” at the expense of building relationships with others that might give them this connectedness and satisfy this deep yearning. Of course, there are many ways to relate to others.We can do it through friends and family.We can do it through our jobs and our hobbies.

And we can even do it through modern technology, e.g.,social media. But ultimately, it all comes down to being kind and loving to the people we interact with.

So nurture the yearning to love and be loved, first and foremost by making yourself worthy of love.

– Christopher Simon

Panthers roll into playoffs behind three straight wins JEREMY JONES ​Sports editor

Granted a short respite from the rain Friday, senior quarterback Cedric Girard connected with junior Jack Haufle and the Oregon defense did the rest as the Panthers escaped Monroe with a 7-0 victory.

“The rain was terrible,” coach Dan Kissling said. “The field turned pretty much into a muddy mess.”

Girard, who completed half of his four passes in the Badger South Conference win at T.R. Holyoke Field, hit Haufle, who ran 47 yards to the end zone for the game’s only score.

“Monroe was stating to put eight or nine in the box and Jack ran a fade route past the Monroe defender,” Kissling

Assistant sports editor

The Oregon High School boys soccer team’s tough non-conference schedule went a long way this season, as the Panthers earned the No. 2 seed in the WIAA Division 2 playoffs.

Monona Grove, which defeated Oregon in the regular season and ended the Panthers’ eight-year Badger South Conference title streak, was given the No. 3 seed.

But there was no appeal, coach Kevin May said, because right from the start all the teams gave the Panthers the No. 2 seed.

“The signature wins we had played in our favor to have enough coaches respect our strength of schedule,” May said. “They also saw we had more shot opportunities than (our opponents) had in the bad losses.”

Oregon/Belleville girls swimming honored its seven seniors Tuesday evening and also picked up a final Badger South Conference victory.

The Panthers won eight of 11 events to defeat Monona Grove 91-79 at home and recognized their seven seniors following the 50 freestyle.

“Every swimming meet from my freshman year to now has been a great experience with all of my teammates,” senior Ellen Martin said. “It’s kind of a bittersweet ending. I really enjoyed swimming all four years. I got a little emotional.”

Martin helped Oregon/Belleville secure a 1-2 finish in the 200-meter freestyle, and senior Carolyn Christofferson did the same in the 100 backstroke.

Martin took second in the 200 free behind freshman Halle Bush (2:24.63), and Christofferson was second to freshman Zoe Rule (1:12.04) in the 100 back.

really cooled you down.”

Oregon finished last out of the eight teams competing, with a team score of 190. But coach Erik Haakenson was stunned by the performance of his top runner.

“Sean ran out of his mind today,” he said. “All week long he said he wanted to make second-team all conference. He was so fixated on it. Today was by far the best race of his life.”

Until Saturday, Bychowski had never run in the 17s.

To the junior’s credit, he got out early (in 16th place) and just kept moving up throughout the race.

While the field was grouped together for the first mile or so, Bychowski knew

who the leaders were.

“You could see the group that was going to take off,” he said. “I kind of stuck where I was and pushed up a little bit. From about 10th to 15th place, we were kind of spread out, and I just kept working up.

“It’s a great feeling and it sets me up for a great season next year.”

A tennis player in the spring, Bychowski doesn’t get in as many summer miles as some of his teammates. But what he lacks in training miles, Haakenson said Bychowski makes up in competitiveness.

“To come into today and just blow it out of the water, that’s awesome,” Haakenson said. “It’s exactly what he wanted.”

Senior Ben Boerigter was the

Panthers’ second-fastest runner, covering the 5K course in 18:44.8 in 37th place. Fellow senior Connor Brickley, who has been battling injuries, was 42nd in 18:55.1.

Junior Will Oelke finished 50th in 19:20.7. Senior Tait Baldus was the final Oregon scorer, placing 51st in 19:23.3.

Freshman Brenden Dieter and junior Steele Mellum, who was also battling injuries, competed on varsity but did not score.

Watertown senior William Kitzhaber won the final race on his home course in 16:24.8. His finish wasn’t enough to help the Goslings overtake Monona Grove, which finished 2, 3, 4, 9 and 13 to score a conference-best 31. Watertown finished second with 54 team points and Monroe (82) was third.

of the Vikings’ eight runners earned all-conference honors, though only the top five counted toward the final team score.

Stoughton junior Anna Wozniak repeated as the conference champion by the slimiest of margins, leaning ahead of Fort Atkinson freshman Lauren Haas in 19:58.9 seconds. Her time was .2 seconds faster than Haas.

Fort Atkinson sophomore Jenna Lovejoy was third but the Blackhawks settled for third with 83 points as Monona Grove took second with 79.

Oregon freshman Clara Hughes was the team’s second runner, taking 19th place in 21:41.7. Fellow freshman Julia Hutchinson also cracked the top 25, taking 24th place in 21:59.1.

Bree Bastian was the only senior running varsity on Saturday and finished 26th

(22:15.4). Sophomore Zoe Frank was Oregon’s final varsity scorer, placing 27th in 22:19.3.

Junior Julie Bull and sophomores Ana Verhagen and Bryanna Salazar also competed.

Oregon placed third out of eight teams in the JV race.

Sophomore Eden Meidl passed several girls after the mile mark to place second out of 96. T performance earned her a position on the Panthers’ sectional team.

14 Wilmot Union.

Oregon 3, Beaver Dam 0 The Panthers hosted Beaver Dam in a Badger Crossover Thursday and won 3-0 (25-23, 25-15, 25-22).

Senior Alyssa Milski, who was originally said to be shut

down for the season, was cleared to finish the season on the court for Oregon. Milski came back and finished with 13 kills Thursday in her first action since early in the fall.

“We are excited to have her leadership and her skills back on the court,” coach Katie

said. “It was a great pass and catch.”

As the game went on from there, the conditions continued to deteriorate, which forced the Panthers to rely on their O-line and backs.

Senior Kardelle Phillips helped keep the chains moving for much of the game, leading Oregon with 95 yards rushing on 11 carries.

Monroe meanwhile, struggled to generate much in the way of offense as quarterback Alex Witt threw two incompletions, including an

interception by Oregon senior defensive back Jahlil Turner.

The Cheesemakers’ ground game didn’t find much more success, as Jordan Montgomery led Monroe with 41 yards on 11 rushes.

“We fumbled a couple of times and gave Monroe a short field to possibly score, but we came up big with huge stops,” Kissling said.

Junior linebacker John Klus was a monster on defense, racking up 14 tackles.

Oregon (6-3 overall, 5-2 Badger South) finished third in the Badger South standings behind Monona Grove (9-0, 7-0) and Stoughton (8-1, 6-1).

Heitz said in an email.

Senior Brooke Mussehl finished with seven digs, and junior libero Emily Konop had six. Junior Bekken Pearson added seven kills, and senior Jenna Igl had two blocks. Junior Lexi Karls collected three aces.

Memorial (ranked second in D1) 3-0 earlier this season.

May said he told the team that the path is now set up for Oregon to do special things this postseason.

After the first match Thursday, which May said could be tricky to make sure you play well enough against the lower seed, the Panthers are familiar with either team they could face in the regional final.

The sectional semifinal holds a potential rematch with Monona Grove, which May said will give Oregon an opportunity to show why they deserved the 2 seed over the Silver Eagles.

Then in a potential sectional final rematch from a year ago, the Panthers could play Elkhorn at Wilmot Union again.

The Elks bested Oregon in a shootout to go to state last season.

“We just have to go out and prove that we are who we say we are and represent Oregon soccer like we can, based on the performances we had during the season,” May said.

The Panthers host No. 15 Poynette/Portage at 7 p.m.

Thursday in the D2 regional semifinal. The winner will play the winner of No. 7 Stoughton and No. 10 Westosha Central Saturday in the regional final.

Monona Grove hosts No. 14 Burlington. The winner will take on either No. 6 Baraboo or No. 11 Fort Atkinson.

Elkhorn Area earned the No. 1 seed and will host No. 16 Wilmot Union. The winner will take on the winner of No. 8 Waunakee/No. 9 Reedsburg.
