Oregon School Board

Three vie for two School Board seatsSETH JOVAAGUnifi ed Newspaper Group

On a cold, rainy Saturday ear-lier this month, Rae Vogeler spent five hours at the Town of Oregon dump, sporting a rain poncho as she greeted residents dropping off their recycling.

The unusual campaign stop was emblematic of Vogeler’s drive to earn a seat on the Oregon School

Board on April 2.“If I get elected, and I hope I

am, I’m going to be a civil ser-vant to the community,” she said.

Vogeler and fellow challenger Dan Krause, along with two-time incumbent Lynda Farrar, are wag-ing a spirited campaign for two seats on the board. Incumbent Pam Hughes will appear on the ballot, too, but has dropped out of the race (see related story). All three candidates say they’re

motivated by a chance to give

back to the community and school district where they have raised their children.

“My priority is the kids,” said Farrar, a retired optometrist first elected in 2007 before winning a 2010 contest between three can-didates for a second, three-year term. “It’s important that they have an education that prepares them for the 21st century.”

Krause, an estate planning

attorney and military veteran, notes that he’s the only candidate who will still have kids in Oregon schools after this three-year term is up.

“There’s nothing that makes you care about something more than having your kids involved,” he said.

Oregon Youth Wrestling numbers triple in just one year

ANTHONY IOZZOAssistant sports editor

It has been a couple of years since the Oregon Youth Wres-tling program sent athletes to state, but this year it is sending two, fifth grader Tanner Ser-gent and second grader Tyler Wald.

But that success is not the only promising thing for the program, which also had eight wrestlers finish third at region-als to just miss a spot at state.

With numbers down at Ore-gon High School this past sea-son and only 23 children signed up for the youth program last year, wrestling was in danger

of a decline in Oregon. That changed this season as numbers nearly tripled to 61.

Youth head coach Chad Niday, who has been a coach for two years and with the pro-gram for three, said it comes down to retention.

“If we lose kids, that doesn’t help us but we have a great retention rate. And those kids are telling friends and bring-ing friends, and we are really getting a big push in the young level,” Niday said. “At the kin-dergarten and first-grade level, we had a big jump this year and retained all of those kids. We hardly had any losses this year, so it is really exciting to think

about where we will be next year.”

But numbers were down the last few years, which Niday said is due to the lack of aware-ness in the community. To change that, he and the other coaches wanted to not only

increase its presence but also unite its goals at all levels and treat Oregon wrestling as a kin-dergarten through high school program.

“We don’t want to be the youth program and a middle school program and have gaps in between,” he said. “We all want to be on the same page as coaches. We want to be teach-ing the same philosophies, so when kids do transition it is easy for them.

“There is work to get done there, but we think we are going in the right direction. “

But success, like Sergent and

Senor Peppers opened Wednesday in its new location at 106-108 Janesville St. in downtown Oregon.

Senor Peppers reopens after 2-month hiatusBill livickUnified Newspaper Group

The Village Board Mon-day approved outdoor din-ing permits for two down-town restaurants.

Senor Peppers Mexican Restaurant, which closed in late January and moved from its South Main Street location across the street to 106-108 Janesville St. in the Netherwood Build-ing, will have four or five tables on a front patio area overlooking the World War I monument in down-town Oregon.

The board also approved outdoor seating for Alberi-ci’s Deli at 135 S. Main St. Owner/operator Theresa Alberici-Yttri said she’ll have room for only two tables in the area approved by the Planning Commis-sion last week and the Vil-lage Board on Monday. The deli also has a dining room inside the restaurant.

Senor Peppers reopened Wednesday, almost two months af ter i ts lease exp i r ed and was no t renewed on South Main Street. The restaurant will occupy 1,852 square feet on the first floor of the his-toric Netherwood Build-ing.

Owner Maggie Rich-ter said building the new 40-seat restaurant, with

two dining rooms, took more time than expected. But with some new spe-cials to go alongside old favorites, she anticipates good things this year and into the future.

She’s been approved to serve alcohol in the al fresco dining arrangement and said the area will also have the same recorded music that plays in the din-ing room.

The restaurant will now be wheelchair-accessible, Richter said, something she didn’t have in her for-mer building.

“I just want to thank my customers for their patience and promise them good food and service in our new restaurant,” she said.

Restaurants get outdoor seating OK

community more,” Johnson told the Observer.

Weber has served as town chair for six years and has received support from past

town chair Gerald Jensen.Weber said his experi-

ence working with contrac-tors, equipment and erosion control make him a good fit for the next term. He said he’s familiar with the town’s

budget issues and wants to continue to help the township.

The town will also see two supervisors up for election this year.

Current supervisor Wayne Ace will seek his seat again, while newcomers Sheila Spear, Arlan Kay and Fred Clark, Jr. look to join the board.

Ace is a 16-year town board supervisor who oper-ates a dairy fair and school bus business.

Spear has a background in economics and public policy. She has lived in the town since 2004 and previously served on a school board in Massachusetts.

Kay, an architect, has lived in the town since 1969. He has served on the Dane Coun-ty Board of Adjustment and the Village of Oregon Histor-ic Preservation Commission.

Clark, 42, has lived in Ore-gon all but nine years of his life and has spent 21 years in the construction industry.

Voters will also get to weigh in on a race for town constable and assessor. Thomas Wiedenbeck will face Andy Blomstrom for the assessor position. Gary Wackett and Kurt Maher are running for constable.

Village of Oregon

First step toward a ‘civic campus’Study will consider feasibility of combined village-owned propertiesBill livickUnified Newspaper Group

Village officials are tak-ing initial steps to decide what downtown Oregon should look like in 20 or 30 years.

The Village Board last week voted unanimously to seek bids for an expert to guide the creation of a mas-ter plan for village-owned properties downtown.

Officials want a plan-ning and engineering study to look at whether a “civ-ic campus” area – which could inc lude v i l lage-owned properties such as the senior center, library, Village Hall, post office, parks, police, public works, fire station and youth center – is feasible to build down-town.

But don’t expect major changes any time soon.

“There is $15,000 in this year’s budget (for the

study), but we’re not going to make that much head-way on it this year,” vil-lage administrator Mike Gracz told the Observer on Monday. “In the capital improvement plan, we are saying we’ll spend $5,000 this year and really get into it next year and complete it in 2015. And the board at that time will decide what to do with the plan.”

If officials decide in a few years to go ahead with a plan to create a civic cam-pus, the actual project work probably wouldn’t begin until at least 2017, Gracz said.

He noted there are a lot of stakeholders involved.

“It’s a big deal and could possibly shape the future of the downtown,” he said.

According to language in the village’s downtown master plan, the s tudy should “include a discus-sion of the reconfigura-tion of parking in the area, including streetscaping, facility expansions, review-ing existing facility needs which may involve improv-ing the accessibility of vil-lage-owned buildings and

potential redevelopment.”The issue came up at

last week’s meeting, as the board discussed aspects of the village’s capital improvement plan. Oth-er items discussed were improvements to the Oak Street tennis courts, rede-velopment of Jaycee Park-West and installing perma-nent restrooms at Bethel Greenacre Park.

But Gracz said the cre-ation of a downtown civ-ic campus was the most important because of its impact on the rest of the CIP.

He told the board it needs to decide on the long-term future for the properties the village owns.

“What do we do with all these buildings?” he asked rhetorically. “Do we build a combination municipal cen-ter somewhere?”

In a strategic planning process the village conduct-ed a couple of years ago, a survey of residents “made it clear that people want these buildings to remain down-town,” Gracz said.

Two looming i s sues putting pressure on the

decision are flooding of the lower level at Village Hall and the June 2014 expira-tion of the village’s Post Office lease.

“There is no way we can stop this downstairs from flooding without doing some remodeling of the front of the building,” he said. “So long term, if we are going to be in this build-ing, we need to decide what to do.”

Rent payments from the Post Office generate about $44,000 per year for the vil-lage’s general fund.

“If the Post Office might be doing something dif-ferent with their lease next year,” said trustee Randy Way, “maybe it doesn’t hurt to get started on this (civic campus plan) and have some opt ions for them.”

He then made a motion to have staff prepare an RFP for the board to consider.

Gracz said that will take some time, “which is why we’re saying most of the planning work would hap-pen next year.”

For the second time in just over three weeks, Oregon police searched a local school after a school employee found a .22-cali-ber rifle shell.

An associate principal at Rome Corners Intermediate School found the shell at 12:25 p.m. Monday on the cafeteria floor, superinten-dent Brian Busler said in an email to parents and staff.

Classrooms were tem-porarily locked as police were called in to sweep the building. Authorities found “no other items of concern” and reported that it was safe to continue classes, Busler said in the e-mail.

“It is believed the shell was accidentally in a stu-dent’s coat/pant pocket and fell out during today’s lunch period,” the e-mail

said.A s i m i l a r i n c i d e n t

occurred Feb. 21, when a custodian at Oregon Mid-dle School discovered a .22-caliber rifle shell near a school locker around 5:30 p.m. Again, police found no other shells or evidence and school the next day was not affected, Busler said.

“We understand that students may accidentally bring items to school that are not school appropri-ate,” he wrote in the e-mail. “Therefore, we are ask-ing parents … to have a developmentally appropri-ate conversation with their child to make sure their coats/clothing pockets or backpacks do not con-tain any items that do not belong on school property.”

Opinion

We support and recommend Darryl Weber for re-election to the office of chairperson of the Town of Oregon. Over the last six years Weber has proven him-self worthy to be re-elected.

Weber has been a good steward of our tax dollars. While cities, villages, and other towns have experienced fiscal problems, he has kept our taxes low without needing to borrow additional funds.

The town has recently expe-rienced some turnover in road patrolmen. Weber created a search and screen committee to review applications and make

recommendations to the town board. The committee was advised of the needs of the town-ship and the search was very suc-cessful, with the hire of two well-qualified employees.

Weber has extensive expe-rience with various types of machinery and equipment. He is able to get highly competitive bids from equipment vendors and relays these recommendations to the board.

As chair of the plan commis-sion, Weber oversaw the final approval of the town’s Land Use Plan. This plan has proven to control growth while respecting

the rights of landowners.Most importantly, Weber is

very open and accessible to the residents of the town. He treats everyone who appears before the town board with respect and allows everyone to speak, even at contentious public hearings.

The Town of Oregon has been fortunate to have Weber’s leader-ship and we urge the citizens of the township to mark their ballot for Darryl Weber.

Letters to the editor

OEA supports Vogeler and KrauseThe teachers of the Oregon

School District are proud to endorse Rae Vogeler and Dan Krause for school board.

The Oregon Education Associa-tion invited all candidates to par-ticipate in an interview process so that we could hear first-hand how each of the candidates stand on serious issues facing our district: being a student-centered district, attracting and retaining high-qual-ity teaching staff, using communi-ty and staff input to guide leader-ship decisions, addressing the cli-mate of fear and uncertainty, and maneuvering through the chal-lenges facing public education.

Rae and Dan have clearly shown the depth of their passion and support for public education

as the only two candidates willing to talk with our interview commit-tee and seeking opportunities to meet with both teachers and com-munity members over the past few months.

The teachers of our school dis-trict feel that our school board needs to refocus and open up com-munication and meaningful two-way dialogue to the betterment of our students, and Rae Vogeler and Dan Krause provide the best opportunity for that process to take place.

Jon Fishwild, teacherPresident, Oregon Education

Association

Vogeler is the right choice for school boardWe have known Rae Vogeler

since both of our now college-age children started kindergarten together at Netherwood Knoll.

We know Vogeler to be a devot-ed mother and hard-working pro-fessional who applies her whole heart, integrity and tenacity to her commitments. As a school board member Vogeler will devote her-self to being a respectful listener to our concerns.

Rae understands that the teach-ers are professionals that should be able to participate in class-room management decisions. As a school board member she would have respectfully listened to our teachers input on this new concept of not grading homework at the high school level.

We know that Vogeler will lis-ten with respect to the concerns

of the parents in our community. Right now she is actively doing just that. She bundles herself up –goes out into the freezing cold and knocks on door after door and lis-tens to parents’ thoughts and opin-ions about our educational system.

She is also respectfully listening to the voice of the students them-selves. She is currently review-ing the data of an Oregon student opinion poll concerning the no grade homework policy.

Vogeler is a highly intelligent, thoughtful person who cares deep-ly about our community.

Please join us in proudly voting for Rae for School Board on April 2.

Sam and Kaye Cooke Fitchburg

I encourage Oregon School Board community members to vote for Rae Vogeler for Oregon School Board on April 2.

Vogeler will bring something that is missing from the current school board – more open com-munication and collaboration with members of the community and the Oregon Education Asso-ciation (OEA).

She is committed to work-ing with the community by get-ting input on topics related to the Oregon School District through

public listening sessions. One of her goals is to increase the amount of time for community input during regular school board meetings. Our current board doesn’t consistently offer enough opportunities for listening to community members on impor-tant issues. Vogeler will make her decisions by considering the voice of the community and car-rying those ideas forward.

She is interested in collaborat-ing with educators to improve learning for all of our students.

Our current board has not collab-orated with the OEA or listened to concerns of educators over the past few years while developing the current employee handbook.

I see Rae Vogeler as someone who will bring her strengths to a board that needs to improve the quality of education our students and our community receives.

Kelly SullivanOregon

I am writing to encourage resi-dents of the Oregon School Dis-trict to vote for Rae Vogeler for the Oregon School Board.

In my experience as an edu-cator, school board members need to have effective skills of communication and be willing to listen to the viewpoints of all

stakeholders (parents, students, teachers, administrators, support staff, and residents).

Rae has excellent communica-tion skills and has a history of working collaboratively to reach the best decision possible.

Rae is a person who is respect-ful, thoughtful, honest, caring,

hard-working, and considerate of all. She has the skills to be an exceptionally effective school board member and I encourage you to vote for her in the April 2 election.

I’m a resident of Goodland Park for 38 years. On Wednes-day, Feb. 27, around 4 a.m., I was driving up the hill and got stuck.

I called my husband Art right away - he said he'd be right over. Instead, the snowplow came first.

He got out with his shovel and shoveled all around the whole car.

Bless his heart - his name was Dale. I shook his hand and asked if he likes homemade bread. He said yes - banana. I told him he'll

be getting his bread, and a gift certificate would be nice, too.

Thanks again and best of luck to you!

Construction of a long-planned splash pad at McKee Farms Park can go ahead after the city gave its approval.

The council approved construc-tion of the splash pad March 12, which means it should be open by July. A groundbreaking ceremony will be held at 10:30 a.m. on March 26 at McKee Farms Park.

The $655,000 project includes $170,000 from the Fitchburg Opti-mists Club, $235,000 from the City of Fitchburg and $250,000 from Dane County.

Under the agreement with the county, Fitchburg will construct a road in the Town of Madison (which will eventually annexed by Fitchburg) in exchange for the

$250,000 donation. The agreement was necessary because the county cannot legally pay for a road in a township.

Optimist member and project leader Joan Mohr said without that funding, “it would not have hap-pened this year.”

She said the group aims to keep fundraising to buy more water jets, shade structures, benches, bike racks, and other amenities.

“This is going to be such a great facility for children of all abilities,” she said. “I am so proud that we can do this for all the kids.”

Optimists are shooting for a July 4 grand opening, Mohr said.

Time is a SpringEvery day is a new day! Each day is literally a new creation,

the unfolding of something divine. The sun rises and sets with only slight variations every day, just as the seasons return at their appointed time each year. Time literally pulses or oscillates, like a perpetual spring. Even the longer periods of time appear to have

this characteristic oscillation. The universe is expanding, and will eventually reach the point of maximum expansion and start contracting, only to contract back to the point of a giant cosmic

implosion, which will set the universe expanding again. But, time is also like a spring from which life-giving water flows. That is, time is a never-ending source of being. It continually flows and

all beings arise within the fabric of time. Only the ultimate Being, God, is outside of time. As finite, temporal beings we cannot wrap our minds around the nature of time, and we might feel a bit like

Einstein when he remarked that “the only reason for time is so that everything doesn’t happen at once.” Presumably for God all things

are experienced simultaneously, but we can only imagine what that might be like. Time is truly a spring, a never-ending source of

wonder.

“Whatever is has already been, and what will be has been before; and God will call the past to account.”

Ecclesiastes 3:15

Outdoor enthusiasts who visit southwest Wiscon-sin’s Driftless Area, which includes parts of Verona and Fitchburg, for fishing or other kinds of outdoor rec-reation are invited to share ideas to improve fishing access and management of state lands.

As the Wisconsin Depart-ment of Natural Resources

begins the process of pre-paring a master plan for these state properties, it will hold public input meetings. Four meetings are scheduled for DNR’s South Central Region, including one in Fitchburg March 28 from 4-7 p.m. at Fitchburg City Hall, 5520 Lacy Road.

People attending the meet-ings can see a decade’s worth

of information showing fish populations in the affected streams, view maps of exist-ing public access, and learn how climate change is pro-jected to impact the future distribution of trout and bass throughout the Driftless Area.

In Wisconsin, the Drift-less Area occupies the west-ern and southwestern por-tion of the state that escaped the last glacial period and is characterized by rugged topography, springs, cold-water streams and rock out-croppings. The public meet-ings are part of a long-term master planning process for more than 200 properties that will guide DNR’s habitat

management and land acqui-sition efforts in the Driftless Area over the next 15 years.

Most of the properties are narrow strips along some of the most desirable trout and smallmouth bass fishing waters in Wisconsin. Local fisheries biologists will be on-hand at the meetings to make short presentations and answer questions.

DNR currently owns about 28,000 acres in the Driftless Area and holds easements on more than 8,000 acres of land that allow anglers access to more than 300 streams.

As a first step in the devel-opment of the master plan, DNR staff created a back-ground report describing the streams, the size and

abundance of trout and bass in different watersheds, the relative resilience of streams to climate change and a host of other issues.

The report is available on the DNR web-site, dnr.wi.gov, by searching for “master planning” and clicking on the Driftless Area link.

BarB Feeney and Charles UphoFFSpecial to the Observer

Candidates who will be on the ballot for the upcom-ing elections, April 2, spoke at a Candidate Forum spon-sored by the Oregon Area Progressives March 12 at the Oregon Village Hall.

Oregon High School senior, Ryan McGuine, was the moderator for the forum.

Local school board candi-dates were introduced first and answered questions submitted by the audience.

Dan Krause and Rae Vogeler were present and gave opening statements and talked about why they were seeking election to the school board. Candidate Linda Ferrar was unable to be present but sent a state-ment, which was read to the audience.

Pam Hughes also sent in a statement indicating that she would be moving out of the state in the near future and thus would be unable to serve, though her name will still be on the ballot.

The school board candi-dates responded to ques-t ions about anticipated funding shortages, their positions on a proposed ref-erendum and the removal from the District’s Employ-ees Handbook of a “just

cause”requirement for dis-cipline or termination of District employees.

Whi le Oregon Town Board Chair candidate Chris Johnson was present, incumbent Darryl Weber was unable to be due to his wife’s recent surgery.

All of the Oregon Town Board candidates Sheila Spear, Arlan Kay, Wayne Ace and Fred Clark, Jr. spoke about their qualifica-tions and reasons for run-ning for office.

The candidates were asked questions about the Town’s role in planning and maintaining the pro-posed Anderson Park and plans for a bike path con-necting the Village of Ore-gon to Fish Hatchery Road.

Although unopposed, Village of Oregon Trustee candidates Darlene Groe-nier and Jeanne Carpenter also gave brief statements about their qualifications and reasons for running for office.

Eric Poole and Village Board President candidate Steve Staton, who are also running unopposed, were unable to attend the forum.

The upcoming elections will include races for a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court and for Dane County Circuit Court.

The first meet of the sea-son, Carpenter led all scorers for the Panthers, taking eighth place with a clearance of 8-6 in the pole vault. Carpenter went on to finish ninth in the 55-meter hurdles, just missing the finals with a time of 9.72 seconds.

“I think both the boys and girls teams have promising seasons ahead of them,” said first-year head coach Kathy Mentink, who was an assistant with the Panthers since 2006.

Junior Valerie Jones turned in a ninth-place finish in the high jump (4-10).

Cary-Grove (Ill.) (65.5) held off Milwaukee King (64) for first place, while Oregon finished last out of 25 teams with one point.

“Nelson Daniels is certainly a competitive meet,” Mentink said. ”Having a few Illinois schools present certainly con-tributes to that, but the number of athletes competing in gen-eral (30 plus in most events) increases the level of competi-tion.”

Oregon’s boys team was not at full strength for Friday’s JV meet or Saturday due to some athletes having prior co-curricular commitments, while some were just banged up from the first two weeks of practice head coach Ned Lease said.

Matthews was the Panthers’ top finisher, tying for ninth in the high jump with a height of 5-10.

Deegan, Jawon Turner and Mathews took top honors for the Panthers, finishing ninth in 1:38.85.

Oconomowoc (54) and Arrowhead (51) separated themselves from the rest of the field.

Lease said the first compe-tition of the season is impor-tant from a coaching stand-point because it is a real ‘live action’ situation.

“The past two weeks of practice have shown a little of what could be hiding inside of an athlete, but when the gun goes off, that truly tells the tale,” he said. “It’s also an opportunity for the athletes to go out there and knock the winter rust off or showcase their preseason gains.”

Wald’s, doesn’t hurt. Niday said athletes like them are telling their friends and demonstrating how fun and rewarding wrestling can be.

And that only makes next

year even more exciting than this one.

“A very high percent-age of the parents said they had a positive experience. They saw personal growth in their kids, and that is what we are looking for,” he said.

“Hopefully, those kids all bring a friend next year, and we are going to have to try and figure out what to do for space. And we will have a problem that we are looking forward to handling.”

State grapplersSergent, 11, (69 pounds)

and Wald, 8, (120) said they are both looking forward to state Friday and Saturday at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison.

“It feels good because the last three years, I have been trying to make it. So to make it this year is a good

experience,” Sergent said. “I just want to have fun and be good.”

Wald, who has wrestled since he was two, took it one step further.

“I want to get first at state,” he said.

But for both wrestlers, the program has been more than success. They both said they like to be with friends and learn the sport while still being able to have fun.

And both wrestlers have dreams to one day wrestle for the Oregon High School varsity team, which is what Niday said the program is all

about. “It is nice to have kids

going to state this year, and we always celebrate when we have kids go to state,” he said. “But really, our goal is to feed the high school. My goal would be to have all these kids be on the podium at high school and not grade school. Not many people remember the fifth-grade state champ.”

Both Sergent and Wald are in the advanced program with youth wrestling, but there is also a beginner’s program that is a little less intense.

Niday said the advanced program is not unlike a high school practice session, some athletes working two to four nights a week to pre-pare.

“They are very dedicated

to it,” he said. “They are coming here, working hard and are very disciplined. Making the state tourna-ment at this age, with all the amount of kids out there, is just as much of an accom-plishment as at the high school level.”

Starting youngWhile Niday said it is

important to start younger children to prepare them for wrestling success in the future, he doesn’t want to burn kids out either.

In order to continue the growth in the program, he wants to not only teach fun-damentals and discipline but also keep the sport fun.

“If we can start them that young and keep them com-ing back, then we are doing the right thing,” he said.

Teachers ’ roleBut beyond the candi-

dates’ shared commitment to better local schools, dif-ferences remain.

Krause last year ran a write-in campaign that gar-nered more than 1,000 votes despite not having his name on the ballot.

He’s back this year, he said, with a similar mission – to improve the relation-ship between Oregon teach-ers and administrators.

Teachers, he said, “feel kind of powerless” in the district, in part because of state laws that have under-cut public unions but also because they’ve had a mini-mal role in some major local decisions.

“We’ve got to find a way to bring the teachers and the employees into the deci-sion-making process.”

L i k e w i s e , V o g e l e r emphasizes the need for more “communication and collaboration” between the district and its staff, resi-dents and students.

While knocking on “hun-dreds” of doors during her campaign, she’s heard too often that residents felt uninformed about last year’s failed $33 million referendum that sought major improvements to Ore-gon High School, Oregon Middle School and the ath-letic fields south of OHS, she said.

Students, parents and teachers have also com-plained that a controversial grading policy, first imple-mented in the fall of 2010, isn’t working, she said.

Krause also questioned that policy that says most homework o r in -c l a s s assignments shouldn’t count toward a students’ final grade. Instead, those “for-mative” assignments should give students a chance to practice skills, while their grades would be based on “summative” assessments – such as final exams, essays or projects.

“ I t ’ s n o t w o r k i n g , ” Vogeler said of the grading policy. “Some students are really falling through the cracks. … That’s something we cannot allow to continue to happen.”

Both said the policy takes away a teachers’ discretion on how to educate kids.

“You’re tying (teachers’) hands in yet another way,”

Krause said. “I think that’s unnecessary.”

‘The overall picture’Neither challenger lev-

eled criticism directly at Farrar. But Farrar counters the notion that the board hasn’t done its best to com-municate with residents and staff.

“I think that’s wrong,” she said.

The board hosted hours of tours and listening sessions before the failed referendum last year, and met many times with staff before the grading policy was passed. In recent months, it relied on staff input to create a “master list” of potential construction projects, too.

She also noted that con-stituents call her at home, stop her in the grocery store and are free to speak at any public meeting – but don’t always show up.

“I think we do listen, we do give opportunities,” she said.

Farrar backed the grading policy, saying it’s central goal – that grades should reflect what students know, rather than how hard they worked – is a good one that needs time to work out the kinks before it’s judged a success or failure.

Farrar had been lukewarm to both the 2012 referendum and the grading policy but eventually supported both. That speaks to her ability to “listen to all angles” before making “snap decisions,” she said.

“You have to see the overall picture to know what you can afford to give the best education for the buck,” she said.

During the two years the board has discussed potential referenda, Farrar has constantly said it must judge whether projects are “needs” or “wants.”

“Can we give a good education without it?” she said. “That’s how I judge a need.”

Krause said he voted for last year’s referendum, though – like many, includ-ing Farrar – he supported some aspects of it more than others. He’s glad the board recently postponed any decision on future ref-erenda, though he feels “it’s important to do a referen-dum soon.”

Vogeler voted against last year’s proposal, though she says school buildings do

need improvements. Again, she feels the board first needs to take more time to hear from constituents first, who will feel “invested” if they have a say in decisions.

Different perspectivesAll three candida tes

blasted the recent state budget proposal that would freeze spending for public schools yet increase funding for vouchers. Krause and Vogeler commended the board for penning a letter earlier this month that blast-ed Gov. Scott Walker’s pro-posals as an “all-out attack

on public education.” But Krause and Vogel-

er also said they want the board to revisit its “employ-ee handbook,” passed last year, that replaced collec-tive-bargaining agreements between staff and adminis-trators in a post-Act 10 era. Krause said the handbook here is mostly fine, though he’d like the district to roll back a change that made it easier to terminate or disci-pline employees, something he spoke publicly about last year.

Vogeler, a former Green Party candidate for U.S.

Senate in 2006, and Krause – who describes himself as a “left-leaning progres-sive” - both earned endorse-ments from the local teach-ers’ union and two regional employers’ unions, AFSC-ME and the South Central Federation of Labor. Farrar said she didn’t seek those endorsements to “remain independent.”

If elected, Krause said he’d like to push the district to pursue more eco-con-scious “green” curriculum and seek ways to reduce the district’s carbon footprint.

Both Krause and Vogeler also oppose how the district has “outsourced” several evening cleaning jobs over the past three years to pri-vate firms after local staff retired or left.

“I think we should keep the jobs local,” Vogeler said. “This is public edu-cation. We need to keep it public.”

The son of a teacher and an appliance salesman, Krause joined the Peace Corps in 1992 and taught English for two years in

Kenya, where he was also a school administrator. After the Peace Corps, he earned a law degree from New York University.

Vogeler says she’d bring a fresh perspective to the board based on her expe-rience as a social worker and technical writer who has developed curriculum, designed online courses and led trainings.

Of the three candidates, Farrar has lived in Oregon the longest. Among her priorities if she were re-elected, she said the district should continue exploring how to train staff and fund schools to expand the effec-tive use of technology in classrooms. But she said her experience on the board has taught her to be mindful of both students and taxpayers.

“You have to look at what your outcomes are going to be for what you’re paying,” she said.

OSB: One candidate drops out of race, 3 still vying for two spotsContinued from page 1

Hughes drops out, name remains on ballotSeth JovaagUnified Newspaper Group

The April 2 ballot for the Oregon School Board will still have four names on it, but one candidate has apparently dropped out of the run-ning.

In a voice message last Tuesday, incumbent Pam Hughes told the Observer she will be moving, pos-sibly after April, and won’t seek re-election, but did not elaborate. Phone calls seeking further comment from Hughes were not returned.

Unofficially, that makes the four-way race for two spots on the school board a three-way contest. But it’s too late to remove Hughes from the bal-lots.

As of early this week, Hughes had not informed district officials of her

plans. If she garners enough votes to finish first or second April 2 and decides not to ful-fill her term, the board could appoint someone to fill a one-year term, then that seat would be up for re-election next April for a two-year

term, said Jayne Wick, district admin-istrative assistant.

Hughes was elected to a three-year term in 2010 and represented the vil-lage of Oregon on the 7-member school board.

Hughes, 51, joined the board in 2010 by finishing second in a three-way race for two seats, ousting one-time incumbent Guy Trgo. A mother of three, she worked as a substitute teacher and had previously taught

special education and English in mid-dle schools, as well as at the elemen-tary school level, in several states.

During her three-year tenure on the board, Hughes was often the lone vote against the majority. She opposed a board policy that most homework – dubbed “formative assessments” – shouldn’t factor into students’ final grades. She also opposed a letter from the board in 2011 to Gov. Scott Walker that criticized how the state funds public schools and the one-year extension of teachers’ collective bar-gaining agreement shortly after Walk-er proposed what became Act 10. And she voted against holding a $33 million referendum last February that was ultimately defeated by voters.

Candidates had to file nomination papers for the school board race Jan. 3.

Oregon High Students advance to state DECA conferenceOregon marketing stu-

dents competed at the Dis-trict DECA Conference held at Sun Prairie High School.

The conference was held in January, with approxi-mately 35 students from Oregon participating. More than 500 students from the Badger Conference com-peted and we have a total of 16 qualifiers who will be representing Oregon high school at DECA state for a shot at Nationals held this

year in California.The high school students

competed in multiple busi-ness events covering topics in economics, finance, mar-keting/business math, and management.

The simulation (role-play) events related direct-ly to a student’s interest in business and market-ing. Students had the opportunity to choose from several different categories that matched their choice in business simulations.

Topics included busi-ness law, marketing man-agement, communications, hospitality and tourism to name a few. A total of 19 students managed to win multiple awards, 34 med-als in all, in their selected events as well as in both economic and career cluster exams.

These events allow stu-dents to apply different competencies from the classroom in a real-world setting. Approximately

100 business professionals from around the area were involved in judging these young business profession-als.

Moreover, Oregon DECA will be sending 16 students to DECA State. From these 16 students Oregon DECA will move onto National competitions in Califor-nia. Oregon DECA would like to extend congratula-tions to all who competed.
