Cutting edge classroom SCOTT DE LARUELLE Unified Newspaper Group
No offense to math, but it’s safe to say Oregon High School students have never had as much fun learning as they do now in the space that hosts the school’s sprawing STEAM lab. And with a new STEAM ( s c i e n c e , t e c h n o l o g y,
engineering, art and math) class this year – Art Tech Workshop – students interested in disciplines that previously were thought to be far apart from one another are seeing how it all comes together. It’s all happening in an area that formerly housed five math classrooms before the school was renovated in 2016. The class was co-designed by art teacher Mike Derrick, who serves as
consultant, and tech ed teacher Ryan Stace, who teaches the course. Fourteen students are enrolled in what is essentially a pilot course, with hopes to expand both the numbers of students and teachers. So far, students have designed and created logos “for a business or personal or whatever they wanted to” and learned “concepts of art and space and relationship and contrast,” using tools like laser engravers, Stace
told the Observer last week. Current projects include using “found” (repurposed) items to create a clock (it doesn’t have to work for a passing grade). The final project has students visiting a junkyard/flea market with a small budget to purchase items to combine into a project. “It takes all those elements: science, technology, engineering, art and math,”

Hwy. 14 will close next year Rerouting will block path to 138, could bring traffic through village EMILIE HEIDEMANN Unified Newspaper Group
Next year and into 2021, Oregon residents might see increased traffic in the village due to U.S. Hwy. 14 improvements. And for two months, the direct route to Stoughton will be shut down completely. Public works director
Jeff Rau warned the Oregon Village Board on Monday, Nov. 4, the closure of parts of the highway could worsen traffic conditions in the village from April through June – most notably at Perry Parkway. That’s an intersection where several residents in recent weeks have asked the village to prioritize making it safer. Rau pointed at a map of the village off of Hwy. 14 and onto Janesville Street and said the improvements will “definitely cause

New STEAM course fitting right in at OHS
Village public works director Jeff Rau hears complaints about Oregon’s worsening water issue almost daily. He’s heard stories about homes and businesses getting flooded, resulting in months of repairs, high costs and sometimes relocation, and he points out that some lower income families might not even be able to pay for the repairs. Even those who aren’t suffering the worst effects of excess precipitation and flooding are dealing with inconveniences. Streets such as
Netherwood Road have been closed, restricting the routes residents take to get to work, school and home. And the trails once used for biking and other recreational activities are now barren. “The majority of complaints we receive are dealing with constantly running sump pumps and then dealing with the water after it passed through the pump,” Rau said. “Some people’s gutters are continuously flowing with water. “And as we head into winter, residents need to figure out alternate locations to discharge (the water),” Rau added. With residents feeling like their local government isn’t doing enough to solve their problems, Rau said, he has organized a public water forum to discuss the issue in detail.

School officer meetings set for next week SCOTT DE LARUELLE Unified Newspaper Group
While the Oregon Village Board and Oregon School District continue to work on a new contract that would keep a police presence at the high school, both groups are holding informational meetings on an issue that’s stirred some disagreement. OSD officials have scheduled a “Schools Resources Officer (SRO) informational session” for 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 14 at the district’s Innovation Center at Oregon High School., 456 N. Perry

According to information mailed last week to parents, people are invited to learn about “the role of SRO in schools (primarily OHS), Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction SRO agreement (and) student interviews.”
The current agreement dating back to last school year remains in effect until Dec. 31. District superintendent Brian Busler told the Observer in an email “it is our collective goal to have an SRO agreement.” “It is important to hear the voices of our parents and factor them into the SRO agreement,” he wrote. “To be successful, we need the support of parents, our district, and the Village of Oregon.” That meeting will follow the second of two village-hosted public sessions on the SRO agreement. The first was Saturday, Oct. 30, and another session set for Monday, Nov. 4, was rescheduled to 11:30 a.m. Monday, Nov. 11 at village Hall. This information-gathering phase is the latest in

Legislative opinion
Everyone deserves clean drinking water From the very beginning of Gov. Tony Evers’ term, he made his priorities clear by declaring 2019 the Year of Clean Drinking Water. During his State of the State address in January, he promoted investing millions of dollars to address water quality, from replacing lead service lines to addressing manure contamination in Wisconsin. Many of our communities face challenges that threaten their health and safety due to polluted drinking water. That’s why Democrats are committed to strengthening clean water protections and addressing this public health crisis. While Evers proposed a bold budget that reflected the voices of the people, who simply want clean and safe drinking water, there is still a long road ahead. Every Wisconsinite should be able to drink water from their tap, but for a lot of people, that is not the reality. Legislative Democrats recently introduced a list of priorities – “Forward Together.” This agenda includes many of the areas that Democrats will be focusing on this fall, including clean water. Below are the Democrat’s top priorities for clean water: · Replace lead pipes to ensure clean drinking water · Promote sustainable water management practices for family farms · Help homeowners fix contaminated wells · Limit runoff pollution from large industrial farms · Prevent toxic PFAS contamination The 2019-2021 budget invests more than $32.65 million in improving water quality. While these investments are essential, there is still more we can do. More than two-thirds of Wisconsin
residents use groundwater for drinking water, through a private well or public water system, and it is our job to enact standards and regulations to protect that supply. One of the ways Evers invested in improving water quality was through increasing bonding authority for Soil and Water Resource Management. He was successful in increasing bonding by $7 million.This program, which is administered by DATCP, provides assistance to farmers to implement conservation practices and reduce pollution from agriculture. This protects our natural resources and increases long-term farm profitability. Additionally, in July, Evers signed an executive order relating to addressing lead poisoning in Wisconsin. The executive order directs the Department of Health Services (DHS) to address this crisis in a robust and comprehensive way through a multi-pronged approach, and to promote collaboration among departments and community organizations to prevent, treat, remove, abate, and survey lead efforts. There is not a single, simple solution to address our water quality issues; however, I am confident that we will be able to work across the aisle to protect this basic right. Everyone deserves to have access to clean drinking water, regardless of where they live, or where their tap water comes from. There is still a far way to go, but the important thing is that, under Evers, we are moving forward. Sen. Jon Erpenbach represents the 27th district of Wisconsin, which includes western portion of Dane County, as well as portions of Green, Iowa, Sauk and Columbia counties.

Being a veteran taught me I could accomplish anything
A
lthough my time in the Navy was years ago, a day doesn’t go by that some memory for those eight years of my life enters my consciousness. It’s where I became the person I am today and where I learned that I could do anything I set my mind to accomplish. As Veterans Day approaches, I often think about my people like my grandfather, was in the Navy during World War I, giving up years of their life to protect us so we can be free. I’m proud of my own eight years of service to my country in the Navy and proud to be called a veteran along with many others. One of the main reasons I chose to enter the military was so I could go to college. That’s a great benefit of being a veteran. My parents did not have the means to send me to college, and they didn’t finish high school; I’m a first generation college graduate. Part of the reason I chose the U.S. Navy was because of my grandfather. He rarely spoke about his time in service, but he had tattoos on both arms that were constant reminders. He passed away before I was old enough to ask him about his experiences. I entered the Navy barely two weeks after my 18th birthday, just graduating from Two Rivers High School. I was a scared naive kid who had no idea how my life was about to change. My entire bootcamp company included young kids like myself from Wisconsin. We were the Milwaukee Brewers Company, Company 157. Bootcamp was bearable being with other Wisconsin recruits, but it was still something I’ll never forget. Reveille was at 2 a.m. the first night, and getting shouted at and called names by our drill sergeant became our normal routine. The drilling, standing at attention for hours in the sun and working together, this is where I learned what teamwork was, to
count on your fellow recruits, and them on you. The teamwork attitude has never left me. After bootcamp graduation, I flew to Glysch a ship in the state of Washington. It was the first time I had ever flown in an airplane, first time being out of Wisconsin. My ship was a nuclear cruiser with two reactors, the USS Bainbridge (CGN-25). I was a yeoman, part of the personnel staff. We worked closely with the commanding officer or the admiral leading our command. In all of my eight years in Navy much of that time was spent preparing for war. Constantly drilling, preparing for nuclear war, rescue missions or playing simulated war games with other countries. Some of these situations I was put into frightened the dungarees off of me. During war exercises, I stood next to the captain, being his radio talker relaying information that we were being attacked and hit with a torpedo. The engine room relayed we were hit, and I had to relay the captain’s commands. Talk about pressure; there was no room for mistakes. I grew up quickly. While still on my first ship, our deployment overseas tested my seaworthiness. When you cross the equator, you go through a ritual that dates back over 400 years. It transforms you from a slimy pollywog to a trusty shellback. It’s something you never forget. It involved crawling around the ship in a diaper and eating disgusting leftovers from the galley, enough said. I earned the title of being a shellback. I still have my cherished card. I remember standing so proudly topside of my ship as we came into ports of different countries. In my neatly pressed
Some of these situations I was put into frightened the dungarees off of me. dress uniform and spit-shined shoes, I stood at muster with my head held high for all the locals to see. I welcomed the chance to experience new cultures, show off our ship and make new friends. I got to see many wonderful places – Japan, South Korea, Australia, Singapore, Tonga, Hong Kong, Guam and Hawaii. Each day, I knew I was representing my command, my country and my family and friends back home in Wisconsin. This was something I was very proud to be part of. I learned that if you worked hard, there were rewards. I could be or do anything I wanted; the Navy had given me tremendous confidence. I was lucky enough to be awarded Sailor of the Quarter and Sailor of Year at two separate commands, to be nominated for Sailor of the Year of the 7th Fleet and also to be awarded the Navy Achievement Medal when I was discharged at the end of my service. Being a veteran afforded me the opportunity to receive to go to college, through the GI Bill. After I left the Navy, I earned a bachelor’s degree from UW-Green Bay and a graduate degree from UW-Madison. The free college tuition military service earned me was valuable, but the education I received from being in the U.S. Navy was priceless. I’m not that young kid who at barely 18 became a veteran anymore, but what I learned in the military has shaped my life, and the lessons resonate still today.

A panel of local and state experts will discuss the effects of recent excessive rains, including flooding, in the Village of Oregon later this month in a public forum. The forum includes government officials, as well as a local meteorologist who lives in Oregon. It will begin at 5 p.m. Monday, Nov. 11, and will be held at Oregon Village Hall, 117 Spring St. The event, organized by public works director Jeff Rau, also will be streamed online and broadcast on
as of Friday, Nov. 1. Rau said the village encourages public feedback at the event. “What we will probably do for our tentative agenda is to have a brief presentation (about flooding issues) from those on the panel,” he said. “We would really like to open it up for a lot of public comments, questions and answers.” The Village Board has been invited to observe the forum, but not in an official capacity, Rau said. “There are great ideas out there that people can recommend that maybe us or our engineers are not thinking about,” Rau told the Observer.

Hate Is Easy- Love Is Hard Hate can be turned on like the flip of a switch. Someone cuts us off in traffic and we are cursing them as if they were the devil incarnate. An unkind word or a slight to our fragile ego can be remembered for years and be a source of resentment we just can’t get over. Political demagogues and bullies are experts at flipping the switch of hatred and resentment. It is easy to convince the native-born that the foreign-born are the source of their problems, or to convince the poor and workingclass that the rich are their enemies. Human beings get defensive very easily, even when the offense against us is merely imagined. Unfortunately, hatred and anger are the default mode for many of us. Love, on the other hand,takes work and must be nurtured.We have to work at creating loving relationships, and though we all crave them, we are admittedly prickly.That is,we are prone to giving and taking offense. Perhaps that is why all of the world’s religions spend so much time and effort trying to inculcate loving kindness and charity.If it were easy and natural there would be no need for it. Work on banishing hate from your life and making your life an expression of love. –Christopher Simon

Panthers a win short of state MARK NESBITT Assistant sports editor
For the past two years, Oregon was a stumbling block in Elkhorn’s path to state, beating the Elks twice in shootouts in the sectional championship. On Saturday, the Division 2 sectional hosts broke through with two early goals to beat the Panthers 2-0. One year after graduating 17 players from a Division 2 state championship team, Oregon (14-7-1) put itself in position to earn a third straight state berth. “This is a group of guys who had big goals and the only one they didn’t realize was getting back to state,” Oregon coach Chris Mitchell said. “I think this team accomplished more than a lot of people expected them to.”
Elkhorn (21-1), the top sectional seed, will play Brookfield Central on Friday, Nov. 8, in the state semifinals. Brookfield East and New Richmond will tangle in the other state semifinal. The Elks got on the board when senior Ben Vogel scored off a corner kick by junior Gavino Perez in the 23rd minute. “We knew they would be dangerous off set pieces,” Oregon senior Aaron Kluck s a i d . “ We r u n a z o n e o n defense and there has been a few times where the clearance goes to the top of the 18-yard (box) and we don’t have anyone there. We can mark everybody. They put one through three or four guys. It’s unfortunate.” Mitchell said it was a ball the Panthers looked to clear inside
instead of outside. “We just didn’t bring our best in the first half and they knew it,” he said. In the first half, Elkhorn was a step quicker.” Elks senior Alec Birbaum added an insurance goal in the 39th minute. “They are physical and that kind of took us off our game in the first half,” Mitchell said. “I wouldn’t be surprised if they did well in the state tournament.” Oregon outshot Elkhorn 5-4, but the Elks finished with an 8-2 advantage in corner kicks. Panthers junior goalkeeper Coltrane LoBreglio had two saves. “We did not let down and didn’t play as intimidated in the second half,” Mitchell said. “I’m proud of them.”

Oregon freshman Dasha Vorontsov (72) races a pack of runners to the finish line at the Division 1 state meet Saturday, Nov. 2, at The Ridges Golf Course in Wisconsin Rapids. She finished 46th with a time of 19:37.4.
Full steam ahead for “The Siberian Express” ADAM FEINER Sports editor
Dasha Vorontsov was a steady force for the Oregon girls cross country team all season. The talented freshman, nicknamed “The Siberian Express,” was consistent as ever in her first race of the season without her teammates. She finished 46th out of 189 runners with a time of 19:37.4 at the Division 1 state meet Saturday, Nov. 2, at the Ridges Golf Course in Wisconsin Rapids. “I was really nervous because I didn’t know what to expect,” Vorontsov said. “I watched a video of a race on the course, but you don’t truly know until you run it with all those people.” Her time was the fifthbest among all freshmen, as well as 27.2 seconds and 35 spots better than conference champion Grace Jenny of Stoughton. “I didn’t set any limits for Dasha. There’s no
need to,” Oregon girls coach Doug Debroux said. “I think the sky’s the limit for her. She pushes her teammates, and I’m really proud of what they all did this year.” Vo r o n t s o v a v e r a g e d 7:06.5 per mile. She was 46th after the first mile (6:01.8), moved up three spots after crossing the two-mile mark at 12:31, and crossed the finish line in a large park of runners. “I ran the first two miles pretty well,” she said. “I felt like I could’ve run the third mile faster, but overall, I think I did pretty well pace-wise.” Debroux kept Vorontsov’s training normal in the week leading up to the state meet. He said the entire team peaked at the conference meet, and tried to maintain their peak until the end of the season. “We cut down on the mileage, but not on the sharpness,” Debroux said. “We’ve been able to do our long run Monday, Tuesday is our recovery day, Wednesday is our hard
workout, then we go in the pool and run in the wells Thursday. We finish with a nice pre-race run Friday.” Even though she competed alone, Vorontsov trained with her teammates all week, and the team made the trip north to support her at state. “It makes me really happy knowing I don’t have to do anything by myself,” Vorontsov said. “It’s a close-knit group that bonds well by working hard,” Debroux added. “They aren’t a group that needs artificial things to bond. When it comes time to run seven miles in the summer or run in the snow at sectionals, they’re ready to run for each other.” Muskego won the Division 1 team title with 72 points, as all seven of its runners finished in the top 38. Onalaska junior Kora Malecek crossed the finish line first with a time of 17:44.6, almost 30 seconds better than runner-up Lauren Pansegrau of Middleton.
Oregon sophomore Yordanos Zelinski qualified for the Division 1 state meet by keeping things as simple as possible. Thus, there was no reason for him to stray from the training and running style that allowed him to compete against a stacked field Saturday, Nov. 2, at the Ridges Golf Course in Wisconsin Rapids. Zelinski finished 82nd out of 190 runners with a time of 17:03.5, the 10th-best time among all sophomores. “It felt like another 5K race,” he said. “I didn’t want to psych myself out. I was chill about it, and nothing really affected me.” Zelinski averaged 6:10.5 per mile. He was 81st after the first mile (5:12.5), and crossed the two-mile mark in 85th (10:53). “He ran a great, consistent race,” Oregon boys coach Erik Haakenson said. “His PR is just south of 17 minutes, so that’s a good time on a challenging course. He was very smooth and calm.” Zelinski ran into the same challenge that faced the other runners. The first mile is flat, but the final two miles are full of small yet steep hills. “I used the downhills to my advantage. I’d pass four or five kids on them,” he said. “Then I tried to move up and maintain with a new group.” Haakenson had Zelinski back off on mileage leading

LoBreglio played a pivotal role in helping the Panthers post their 12th shutout of the season in the sectional semifinals Friday, Nov. 1, at McFarland High School. It’s the second time this season the Panthers shut out the Silver Eagles (13-4-4). With snow blending in with the ball, LoBreglio made a critical save on Isaac Becker’s penalty kick shot in the 15th minute. The stop by LoBreglio kept the game scoreless and fueled Oregon to the sectional championship. “Cole made some humongous saves in the game to give us energy and momentum as a team,” Oregon junior Ben Statz said. Moments later, Statz capitalized on a handball in the box, scoring on a penalty kick in the 25th minute to give the Panthers a 1-0 lead. “Once you get that first goal, everything starts flowing,” Statz said. “We played really well as a team.” L o B r eg l i o h a d s eve n saves, including a diving stop in the 56th minute that preserved the one-goal lead.

OHS students Clark Anderson and Matt Kissling and Art Tech Workshop instructor Ryan Stace check out some measurements.
STEAM: Students learn to think spatially Continued from page 1 he said. “By then, they’ll have experience with a bunch of tools and they can take that and apply it.” In the STEAM lab, students are using tools that cost $10,000 and sometimes more, including plasma cutters, laser engravers, CNC routers, 3D printers and more. This summer, the lab added a sublimation printer, which can be used to print images and heat press them onto objects. “We are continually adding,” Stace said. “We’re lucky the district invested in this space … to have everything accessible.” The idea for the lab was something Derrick had been thinking about for years. He began talking with Stace about it when the high school was renovated in the summer of 2016. When the former math wing was relocated, it opened up some room for innovation. To no one’s surprise, Derrick, an artist by trade, was thinking spatially – and also into the future. “He thought maybe the class could fit into those spaces and be a really good blend between some of the machinery in our STEAM center and some of our art classes,” Stace said. For the class, Derrick and Stace requested that students enrolled in the course be at least sophomores, and while there’s no set prerequisites, they were looking for those with a variety of experiences. “Since it’s such a new class for us and combines so many different areas … we just wanted to throw it all together,” Derrick said. “I was telling Ryan, ‘We would be the perfect poster child for STEAM,’ You get the design, engineering (and) you can see where it all comes in with science and technology, and then welding, that’s a whole new area.” While students have fun designing and building projects, they’re also learning fundamental lessons about working together, using multiple disciplines, and – as a result of the art component – “learning how technology can open new avenues for self
A school resource officer is back inside Oregon High School. On an interim basis, the Oregon Village Board gave its approval Monday, Nov. 4, to continue the existing arrangement until it expires Dec. 31 or a new deal is reached. The interim agreement, which the school district has approved, allowed the SRO to be back inside the school as early as Tuesday, Nov. 5. The officer had been introduced to the school last week, trustees said at Monday’s Village Board meeting. The interim SRO agreement comes after the Oregon School District and village sought more time to gather parent and
community feedback to discuss the new agreement for the 2019-20 school year. It is an extension of the previous school year’s deal. The village will conduct a public information session on a new SRO agreement at 11:30 a.m. Monday, Nov. 11, at Village Hall, 117 Spring St. The school district will also hold an information session on the SRO agreement from 6:30-7:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 14, at the OSD Innovation Center inside the high school, 456 N. Perry Pkwy. In October emails to the board, local Facebook group the Oregon Allies and residents identified as Coral and Jesse Goplin expressed their concerns to the board. The Allies stated that “other districts” have SROs “engaged in classroom teaching, specific d ive r s i o n a r y p r o g r a m s , running mental health and
a n t i - bu l l y i n g p r o g r a mming, crisis training for teachers and other programs. They also inquired about how much of a voice parents and children have i n t h e n ew a g r e e m e n t , how successful the current agreement has been in preventing incidents and how they can hold the SRO accountable. The Goplins wrote to trustees that they are appreciative of both parties hearing what the community has to say. “It is really apparent that the concerns shared by parents and residents earlier this year were taken seriously,” they wrote. For information about the upcoming sessions, call the village at 835-3118 or the OSD office at 835-4000.

Pliner said the class promotes the idea of “art as a career field,” noting that recent graduates have gone into medical illustration and other art related careers. In fact, Derrick said when he and Stace look at STEAM-related job opportunities, “we have pages and pages of jobs that are related to what we teach.” That’s not something to take lightly, he said. “We’re really hoping to hit on the real critical thinking and problem-solving skills you hear about needing in the workplace,” Derrick said. “A lot of times, schools want test scores; they want results, and sometimes I feel that gets a little bit to the side; that there are jobs out there.”

Water: Data show trend that needs attention from local governments and the public Continued from page 1 The forum is set for 5 p.m. Monday, Nov. 11, at Village Hall, 117 Spring St., and will feature a panel of experts who can discuss the causes and effects of the excess precipitation and flooding from a meteorological, hydrological and governmental perspective. Rau brought up the idea after the most recent flooding endeavor in the village – the closure of Netherwood Road, which was plagued by flooding earlier this month. The village pumped water over the road overnight and during the middle of the day for several days. He said some people who have reached out to him have felt the village isn’t considering their pleas Graphs courtesy of Wisconsin State Climatology Office for help or doing enough Last year was a record year for rainfall and groundwater levels in Dane County. Rainfall got to reach a solution. But up to just above 50 inches. any action the municipality could take will take not only a large amount of money but also a lot of time. And, Rau said, the village has been listening. “We want to relay to people that this is indeed happening and that this is happening regionally,” he said. Rau also said one reason the flooding has continued to worsen is where Oregon is located, built on a reservoir. Those are some of the topics he expects the experts will discuss at the forum. “We have to deal with the facts,” Rau said.
A continuous cycle
Precipitation levels in Dane County are on track to being the highest on record in 2019. complaints from residents. Rau pointed to data from the Wisconsin State Climatology Office (WSCO), which keeps tabs on things like rainfall amounts, temperature changes and snowfall. Precipitation levels in Dane County are on track to being the highest on record in 2019, he said. A WSCO study depicts
Highway: Largest impact during spring Continued from page 1 people some grief,” especially if they are driving to Stoughton or vice versa. In addition to onramps and offramps, the closure will block the road between the two roundabouts. “(Highway 14) will be totally closed through here for about two months, and during that time, all traffic south bound will be rerouted,” Rau said. A memo Rau sent to village administrator Mike Gracz states the Wisconsin Department of Transportation intends to “repair or replace a total of six bridges located at WIS 138, CTH MM, Cyrne Road and McCoy Road,” which will also include safety improvements including
cable median barriers. “At times, traffic will be re-routed using crossovers, lane restrictions and detours,” the memo states. “At times, this may impact traffic in and around the village significantly.” The largest impact to the village will take place during the spring and early summer of next year, when the bridge deck at WIS 138 will be replaced. Since it is a dual lane bridge, with an alternate bridge unavailable for traffic rerouting, the DOT will reroute traffic on Highway 14 southbound and northbound onto the on/off ramps at WIS 138, blocking access to and from that road. The memo states access to Highway 14 and 138 will be “severely limited” or “impossible” during the
aforementioned time window. “A n t i c i p a t e d q u e u i n g lengths (backup lengths) on Highway 14 … and at the WIS 138 area during rush hour could exceed one mile,” the memo states. It said residents who commute to Madison will experience traffic delays, as well. “We ask for patience as these important repairs, replacements and safety improvements are made,” the memo states. “We will continue to monitor and project schedules and determine how it will affect our village projects and traffic patterns.” Email Emilie Heidemann at emilie.heidemann@wcinet. com or follow her on Twitter at @HeidemannEmilie.
how cumulative rain levels have increased up to just over 40 inches within the last year. From 1981-2010, there is a “statistically significant” uptick in precipitation, which Rau said suggests that Wisconsin has become a wetter climate. A 2018 study shows a
Village Public Works Director Jeff Rau similar trend – it was a record year for rainfall and groundwater levels in Dane County. Last year, rainfall got up to just above 50 inches.
Seeking solutions
Regardless of opinions on the causes of climate change, Rau said, data clearly show a trend that needs attention from local governments and the public. For now, that attention comes in the form of immediate solutions. When Netherwood Road flooded again this year, public works pumped water to the north for days on end. West Netherwood Road, between Cusick and Alpine Parkways, was closed during evening and overnight hours throughout the first week of October and continued into a second week to allow water from the north to be pumped over the road into the Keller Alpine Park area. That, however, was only the final straw. Lake Barney had already expanded to 800 acres from a
previous size of 30 acres starting last October and continuing throughout this past spring and summer seasons. That caused flooding in people’s homes and submerged the Rotary Bike Trail, which still faces overflow even after recent improvements. Jefferson Street residents saw similar conditions – all from the rising water table. While the forum will focus on long term solutions for Netherwood Road — one project of many upcoming ones for the village, Rau said – it will focus on solutions in general. “We want to build public trust,” he said. “We hope people come out of (the forum) with a greater trust in the village board and the direction staff is (going) to make improvements.” Email Emilie Heidemann at emilie.heidemann@ wcinet.com or follow her on Twitter at @HeidemannEmilie.

Boundary: Roughly northern third of students will attend the new school being built Continued from page 1 Corners Intermediate School. Board members voted to move their next meeting date back a week to Monday, Dec. 16 to give them more time to process information from all three sessions. President Steve Zach said the district is seeking public feedback “as much as we can.” “Boundary changes are significant to parents,” he said. District superintendent Brian Busler said the sessions will be similar to referendum meetings in recent years, with several stations for people to view information and ask questions, as well as a “real short presentation.” “ The goal isn’t for parents to come listen to us,” he said. “The goal is to provide information to parents and get their feedback.”
‘Logical transitions’
In its “conceptual approval” the board essentially OK’d the recommendation of a district task force comprising OSD administrators, staff, parents and community members that had been working since spring on boundary plans. Those new boundaries will take place when the new K-6 elementary school in Fitchburg opens Sept. 2, 2020. Criteria included transportation safety/efficiency, students attend schools close to where they live,” and “planning lead(ing) to logical subsequent transitions.” The plan calls for roughly the northern third of students to attend the new K-6 school being built to the east of the Lacy Road/ Hwy. 14 interchange. The central third would attend either Netherwood or Prairie View Elementary and Rome Corners Intermediate, and the southern third would attend Brooklyn Elementary and RCI. All students will attend Oregon Middle School and Oregon High School regardless of boundaries. Busler said the task force provided a “rational and reasonable model,” and now the goal is to create “as smooth a process as possible” for the new boundaries. He said the district is continuing to use the concept of “dynamic boundaries,” which he said has been a standard since before his arrival in 2006. “We gave parents a lot of choices and feedback in terms of which school they like their son or daughter to attend and we’ve

Meeting date change Board members voted to move their next meeting back a week to Monday, Dec. 16, to give them more time to process information from the district listening sessions, which are scheduled to run from Dec. 2-12. continued that approach, t h o u g h w e ’r e s t a r t i n g to color in some frameworks for where the kids will move from,” he said. “Remember, every dollar we spend on transportation is a dollar we can’t spend in the classroom.”
Plan details
While final details are pending, the proposal has three basic parameters: Students would go to the school closest to their home, with an exemption process available to families and simplified busing zones for each attendance area. According to the plan, each K-6 student will be assigned a school based on where they live, with “every attempt to honor the current placement of K-4 families” in the central and southern sections. Students entering fourth and sixth grades will be prioritized in the school assignment change process “as we recognize that some students may prefer to stay in their currently assigned school for their final year,” it read. The plan would also call for moving five sections of incoming fifth-graders to the new Fitchburg K-6 school to “alleviate overcrowding at Rome Corners” and “allow for optimal utilization of the new school building while the neighborhoods near the new school continue to grow.” “As every student entering grade 5 in the fall of 2020 is making a transition, it is an appropriate time to move up to 5 sections of incoming grade 5 students to (the new school),” the plan reads. The process for determining which incoming grade 5 students will attend the new school has yet to be determined by district officials.

BKE fourth-grader Will Radke uses a microscope to check out a science experiment at the Wisconsin Science Festival, held in Madison.
From visiting the state Capitol, to hands-on science experiments, Brooklyn Elementary School fourth-graders had a busy field trip Thursday, Oct. 17, in Madison. The morning started with a guided tour of the Capitol, as students learned about state government, met government officials and had a chance to sit in the governor’s conference room. In the afternoon, students participated in the Wisconsin Science Festival, held at the UW Discovery Building. At hands-on activity stations, students made slime, tested the gel used in diapers to absorb water and got to work with real organs. Students also got a chance to see science demonstrations in the areas including medicine, chemistry, engineering and astrobotany.
