Proposed hikes next year inhealth care costs for OregonSchool District staff wererolled back last week by theOregon School Board.

District officials earlier thismonth worried union lead-ers with a proposal to imposenew health care deductiblesof $500 annually for individu-als and up to $1,000 for fami-lies while requiring higherco-pays on prescription drugs,emergency room visits andCT or MRI scans.

But in a special meetinglast Thursday, the board vot-ed 5-0 to dip into a districtreserve fund to reimburse

At first glance, it mightappear that 75 sixth grad-ers in three adjoiningclassrooms at Rome Cor-ners Intermediate Schoolare slacking off.

One student lies under atable with headphones on.Another group of four girls

is talking at a table, note-books and books spreadout. Others are clusteredon the floor, and a cou-ple of boys are relaxingin beanbags in a corner.Almost all of them are tap-ping at iPads.

But if you talk to kids inTerra Cotta 1, the clusterof classrooms that spentthis school year experi-menting with one-to-onecomputing, youll hear adifferent story.

Theres always some-thing to work on, saidstudent Ashton Wenger,displaying a checklist of

assignments on her iPad.

You can work on what-ever you feel like workingon, or if youre behind onsomething you can catch

up.

The pilot program atRCI has received a lot ofattention this year, as itrepresents a new way of

personalizing education

for every student, a move-ment touted by OregonSchool District officialsas the wave of educationsfuture.

The three-class cluster atRCI earlier this year issued62 iPads to kids at a costof roughly $23,500 to theOregon School District to get the program offthe ground. The other 13

tablets were brought fromhome by the students.

Three teachers DawnaWright, Heather Molnarand Dave Kean lead theclasses and say theyvenever worked harder buthave never enjoyed teach-ing as much, either.

The traditional model oflecturing to students whotake notes, work on assign-ments and then take testshas largely been upended,Kean said.

Ins tead, Kean oftenspends much of his daychecking in with indi-vidual students some-

times three-dozen a day

to see how they are pro-gressing on projects orgoals.

Its just problem solv-ing with students all daylong, said Kean, whospecializes in social stud-ies but, along with Molnarand Wright, helps studentsout with assignments inscience, math or Englishwhen they need it.

Its just more pertinentto what kids need, hesaid. And theyre enjoy-ing what theyre doingmore , which helps usenjoy our jobs more.

Typical dayA typical day in Terra

Cotta 1 this year begins ina large-group meeting areaadjoining the three class-es. For 10 or 15 minutes,teachers go over the week-ly or daily assignments sokids know whats expectedof them.

those deductibles in 2013-14 (board members WayneMixdorf and Rae Vogelerwere absent).

This is good for thepocketbooks of not onlyour teachers, but also ourcustodians, support staff,etc., Jon Fishwild, presi-dent of the Oregon Educa-tion Association, write in

an email to the Observerafter the vote. I am verypleased with the outcome.

The district in Aprillearned that health insur-ance costs are set to rise upto 16 percent next schoolyear. That translates intoan $850,000 increase thatwould fuel a $1 million-plus deficit for next schoolyears budget.

A board committee hadpreviously recommendedimposing new deductiblesbut did not specify howthey would be funded. Theboard on May 13 tabled adecision by a 4-3 vote after

a contentious debate.Most district staff pay 10percent or more of the dis-tricts health insurance pre-miums or roughly $1,500to $2,000 annually for fam-ily plans and no deduct-ibles beyond that.

T e c h n i c a l l y , s t a f f insured through the districtwill still be charged the

deductibles, but the districtwill reimburse them usingup to $400,000 from fundbalance, a reserve fund ofsorts that accounts for dis-trict assets versus liabili-ties.

The amount of moneyin fund balance varies dur-ing the year but is set tobe about $11 million onJuly 1, the start of the nextfiscal year, said businessmanager Andy Weiland.

Dis tr ic ts often hes i-tate to dip into fund bal-ance because doing so canharm their credit rating,which can drive up inter-est rates on loans. And ifit gets too low, districtsoften are forced to take outshort-term loans to coverexpenses before state aidand end-of-year property

tax payments refill theircoffers.

But because this is aone-time fix, the districtshould be in good shape,Weiland said.

Board member SteveZach he was comfortableusing fund balance thisyear to reimburse teachers,especially after teacherstwo years ago essentiallytook a nearly 6 percent paycut when a change in statelaw required them to paythat much into their pen-sion.

But, Zach added, Wecannot be using fund bal-ance, as a general practice,to fund operational needson an ongoing basis.

The board didnt com-mit to funding deductiblesbeyond next year, nor didthe union ask them to.The future of the districtshealth insurance plan ismurky, in part because ofthe unknown ramificationsof the federal Affordable

Care Act.F i s hwi ld ca l l ed the

change a viable short-term fix, though he saidhe hopes the district willwork with staff in thefuture to examine optionsbeyond having teachersshoulder new deductibles.

This health insurancescenario is not sustainablein the long run, not for any-body, he said.

OSD: Zach warns about using fund balanceContinued from page 1

In briefOregon School

District staff wont haveto shoulder new healthinsurance deductibles

after a vote last weekby the Oregon SchoolBoard. Instead, the

costs will be paid

through the districtsreserve fund for the

2013-14 school year.

Fewer retirements this yearSeth Jovaag


The percentage of stu-dents from low-incomefamilies dipped this yearin the Oregon School Dis-

trict, according to datareleased last week by thestate Department of PublicInstruction.

For the 2012-13 schoolyear, 16.9 percent of OSDstudents qualify for free orreduced lunch rates, a keyindicator for determiningif a student is consideredeconomically disadvan-taged, or low-income.

Thats down from a peakof 18.9 percent last schoolyear but still the second-highest rate in six years ofdata, according to DPI sta-tistics.

In 2007-08, just 8 per-cent of OSD students weredeemed low-income, butthat rose steadily until last

years peak.Statewide, the number

of economically disadvan-taged students increasedto 43.2 percent this schoolyear, up from 42.5 percentin 2011-12 and 29.5 per-

cent in 2003-04.The federal governmentsets income requirementsfor families to qualify forfree or discounted schoolmeals. This year, a familyof four must earn $29,965or less to be eligible forfree lunches, or less than$42,643 a year for reducedrates.

The DPI data releasedlast week is derived frominformation provided lastOctober by school dis-tricts . It is more accu-rate than data shown on awidely used state website,WINNS, that relies on Sep-tember enrollment figures,explained DPI spokesper-son John Johnson.

As investors approachretirement, its com-mon for them to wonder

whether they should allocateless or even none into equi-ties. Often, this question is amajor factor in overall financialdecisions.

Its worth considering, but itsrarely necessary.

My conversations with pro-spective clients have made itclear that its important to givethem an understanding of how awell-diversified portfolio works,so at the veryleast, theyreusing accurateinformation intheir decisions.Wise investorsmake sure theybuild a glob-ally diversifiedportfolio withpassively man-aged invest-

ments that is,requiring little or no attentionfrom the investor that reflectyour need, willingness and abil-ity to take risk.

Certainly, as you approachand enter retirement, you mightbe less inclined or able to takefinancial risks.

With a shorter investmenthorizon, you dont have as muchtime to wait out the inevitablebear markets or suffer the psy-chological strains that resultfrom them. And if you are nolonger working, you dont havethe same ability to replace orrecover from the financial loss-es, either.

So its logical for investorsto feel the need to reduce theamount they have tied up in themore volatile equities and lookinto bonds and other, more sta-ble funds as they reach or evenapproach the retirement stage oftheir lives.

While you might wish toreduce some of that risk, histori-cal evidence suggests a portfoliocan actually become too con-servative. Doing so might causeyour portfolio to fail, leavingyou without the financial assetsneeded to support the lifestyleyou have worked so hard toachieve.

Lets take a hypothetical caseof three investors, Conservative

Charlie, Moderate Mike andAggressive Adam, from the timeframe of 1926 to 2012.

Charlie is so conservative thathe has invested all his financialassets in long-term governmentbonds (following a 20-yearmaturity Treasury strategy).

Mike is also conservative,with most of his assets in long-term government bonds, but 20percent of the portfolio is allo-cated to stocks well tie it tothe S&P 500 Index.

Adam, meanwhile, allocates30 percent to the S&P 500Index.

As the attached table shows,Mike, with his conservative, butnot overly conservative strategy,earned higher returns (6.9 per-cent vs. 5.7 percent) and experi-enced less volatility (8.8 percentvs. 9.7 percent annual standarddeviation) than Charlie, whothought he was playing it safe.

Not only that, by increas-ing the equity allocation evenfurther to 30 percent, Adamearned greater returns (7.5percent) than both Mike andCharlie. However, Adam alsoexperienced higher volatilitythan Mike (9.2 percent), and

his worst single-year loss washigher than both, at almost 17percent.

As you can see, adding asmall amount of equities to anall-bond portfolio raises returnswhile actually reducing volatil-ity.

While stocks are obviouslymore volatile than bonds (thestandard deviation of the S&P500 Index at 20.2 is more thantwice the standard deviation oflong-term government bonds),they have low correlation (0.01)to those same bonds. Thatmakes the portfolio includingboth more diversified, whichboth reduces its volatility and

increases its return rate.So its not necessary or

even a good idea to becomeso conservative that you removeall equities from your portfolio.Historical evidence shows thatinvesting as much as 30 percentinto globally diversified equitiesand shorter-term fixed incomeassets is likely to produce great-er returns with similar or evenlower volatility than a portfoliofull of safe longer-term gov-ernment bonds.

Discussing your portfolioallocation with a financialadviser is a great starting pointin understanding your invest-ments and overall portfolio.Finding a financial adviser whowill follow a prudent approachto investing while taking afiduciary role as your adviser isvery important so you know thatthe adviser is working in yourbest interests.

Finally, following an invest-ment strategy that offers com-fort and understanding helpsyou and your adviser create theright plan, while avoiding thetemptation of being too conser-vative.

position with the Rock CountyHumane Society.

Frazier, who moved up fromCity of Milton alder to mayor inApril, said it was a tough decisionto leave Oregon, but hes joininga much bigger organization withroom for career advancement. Itsalso closer to his home and cuts hiscommute down to almost nothing.

Frazier began working for theOregon chamber in February2011. He recalled that on his sec-ond day of work, a big snowstormhit the area.

I dutifully drove here only tofind that none of the bankers ornobody on our board had botheredto come in, he said with a laugh.I remember Judy Knutson and Iwere about the only people in townthat day. I saw her driving to workas I was driving to work.

In addition to organizing lastyears Summer Fest, which was

our best ever by far, Frazier feelshes leaving the chamber in goodshape.

This Chamber of Commercenow, as compared to what it wastwo-and-a-half or three years ago,its just night and day, he said.Two years ago the chamber wasin the basement of a bank and now

we have this great office space.The next person coming in here isset up for success.

He noted that every storefrontin downtown Oregon is now occu-pied, which wasnt the case whenhe came here in early 2011.

I would have liked to get moredone on the north side and theJanesville Street areas, he said.Those will be for the next directorto really focus on.

Its been a heck of a good timeand I definitely am going to missit, Frazier added. Ive offered asmuch help as the board needs toprepare for Summer Fest and tofind the next person. Well see.

Lifelong Education

It is almost a clich to say that education must be continuousthroughout ones life. We all know that we live in a rapidly chang-ing world and that technology isnt waiting around for us to catch

up. The more important reason for lifelong education is that ittakes a lifetime to figure out how to be a decent human being.This is one reason why its important for young people to listen

to their elders and to read the classics. The wisdom of the eldersis the received wisdom of our culture, in much the same way asthe classics contain the wisdom of the ages. Having to figure outeverything on our own would be tantamount to reinventing the

wheel. Education is a much more efficient way of adapting to lifein a complicated and often dangerous world.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; foolsdespise wisdom and instructions.Proverbs 1:7

Eat FreshFood cart at Oregon MiddleSchool will help promote

student produceVictoria Vlisides


Healthy eating optionsjust got more util ity at theOregon School District.

Oregon Middle Schoolgot a new food cart earlierthis month to help properlychill and serve in-house

produce at lunch. Its oneof two food carts in the dis-trict and goes in hand withserving vegetables grownby students at the middleschool.

The plastic cart lookslike a smaller version of asalad bar one would see ata restaurant. It has wheels,is just under six feet highand three-and-a-half feetlong, with a plastic sneezeguard. Additionally, it hastemperature control throughan ice chiller unit and iskept in the freezer over-night, said Robyn Wood,school meal program direc-tor.

Previous to the bar, pro-duce, like salad greens,grown in the schools hoophouse, was served on a

metal cart in pans. Thatwasnt ideal for keepingfood chilled nor for stor-age, said Holly von Allmen,food service products man-ager.

Its a huge upgrade,von Allmen said. It washard to have a salad bar offa metal cart.

Wood put a handful ofbids out in March for thebar that cost about $1,600.Through fundraising, OMSstudent council donated$200 toward the new bar aspart of a way to give backto the school.

Student council adviserKevin Gasner said the foodcart allows the students tohelp out with somethingtheyll use every day.

Since the hoop housewas built, the kids love eat-ing the food they grow, butthere hasnt been a verygood way to present it, hesaid.

Within the district, Ore-

gon High School has a sim-ilar cart used in the sand-wich line for fixings andcondiments.

Senior Danielle Steinberg isno stranger to big meets. Shehelped the Oregon girls crosscountry team reach state lastfall, and shes already run onmultiple state track relays forthe Panthers.

So if anyone was goingto appreciate the efforts ofteammate Valerie Jones itwould be S te inberg, whohelped Oregons 4x800-meterrelay secure the first of three

sectional titles Thursday in 9minutes, 51.24 seconds at theWIAA Waterford sectionaltrack and field meet.

Getting out to a comfortablelead, the Panthers watchedtheir lead deteriorate, fallingback into third place with thebaton still to go to Jones.

Vals capable of any-

thing, Steinberg said. Sheteases people in the 800. Vals

just a beast.Junior Jamie Wood wasted

no time in setting the pacebefore passing the baton toSteinberg, who kept the pedaldown. Newcomer freshmanMaddie LeBrun fell back tothe pack a bit before hand-ing off to Jones, who lateradded a sectional title in the800-meter run, holding off

Verona junior Jenni LaCroixfor first in 2:23.06.

The same quarter cappedthe meet with a runner-upfinish in the 4x400 relay in

4:09.85 four seconds behindVerona.

I wouldnt l ike havinga race thats easy to win ...because at state its not goingto be easy, Steinberg said.Im glad S toughton putsomeone like Nikki (Staffen)in to give Val someone torace.

Junior Jamie Wood addeda runner-up finish to Water-ford senior Jenny Gilbreath

(59.70) in the 400-meter dashwith a time of 1:00.37.

Schneider advances to stateJeremy JonesSports editor

Junior Jackson Schneiderhad been dreaming about thismoment ever since losing athree-setter at sectionals a yearago.

It was frustrating, saidSchneider, who acknowledgedthat the loss also served as moti-vation to get through to thisweeks individual state tennistournament.

Schneider put all the frustra-tion behind him Thursday atthe Lake Geneva Badger sec-

tional meet, cruising to a 6-1,

6-1 straight-set victory overBadger sophomore Liam Baileyinside Four Lakes Athletic Clubto earn automatically qualify for

state. He became the Panthers

first state-qualifier in nearly adecade in the process.

Matt Stein and Justin Crossenqualified at No. 1 doubles backin 2004.

Its a big deal for the team,Schneider said. We have a deepteam, and this will be encourag-ing for future players.

The victory set up a second-round match against rival juniorAndrew Dahl of Fort Atkinson,which he lost 6-4, 7-6 (4).

Schneider finished the thirdtournament in the third-placematch, which he won 7-6 (7),

Freshman Grant ODonnell shot an 80 in hisWIAA Division 1 sectional debut Tuesday atRiver Run Golf Course in Sparta.

Boys golf

ODonnell shoots an80 in his WIAA D1sectional debutAnthony IozzoAssistant sports editor

Grant ODonnell said he started off feel-ing confident at Tuesdays WIAA Division1 Sparta sectional at River Run Golf Courseafter making a par putt.

The Oregon freshman entered his firstsectional meet trying not to let the pressureget to him, but acknowledged he did geta little desperate to go for some birdies totry and get back into the mix following thefront nine.

ODonnell could not, however, and hisinaugural varsity season came to an endwith an 8-over par 80, which tied him for27th overall.

I missed a lot of putts today, ODonnellsaid during a phone interview. If I couldhave gotten it rolling and made a few putts,I would have been right in it.

But with Holmens Tyler Church (72),Sauk Prairies RJ Budd (72) and La CrosseCentrals Devin Terry (73) all qualifying asto state as individuals with low numbers,

ODonnell said he knows he has to work onhis short game to reach state next season.

He also believes the entire Oregon teamcan go next season.

I think our team has a seriously goodchance to make it through sectionals nextyear, he said. I wouldnt count us out atall. I think we are going to be a good teamnext year.

The Panthers will have their work cutout, however, as Onalaska and Stoughtonadvanced this season with a 296 and a 299,respectively.

Kressin leads trio of PanthersJeremy JonesSports editor

FreshmanMacKenzieKressin andseniors Hai-l ey Moreyand AlyssaDamon wereall selectedto the BadgerSouth All-Conferencesquad l a s tweek.

Kressin, autility playerwho playedevery spoton the infieldexcept firstb a s e a n deven pitched

25 innings, earned the topnod.

She led the team in hits,doubles and RBIs, whilehitting .333 overall (.310 inconference). Kressin struckout only five times on theseason.

In his 18 years around theprogram, head coach MikeDerrick said Kressin is thefirst Oregon freshman hecould recall getting such rec-ognition.

Were a young team,and I think Mackenzie andthis honor are signs of ourpotential and better things tocome, Derrick said.

Morey received honorablemention honors as a pitcher.As the Panthers ace struckout 50 in 12 starts.

A control pitcher, whowas always around the plate,she posted a nearly 4-to-1

strike out to walk ratio onlyallowing 13 free passes onthe season.

Though her average wasdown at the plate, Damonearned an honorable men-tion nod for her defense.She posted 50 put outs frombehind the plate and 17assists, including eight bas-erunners caught stealing.

Shes going to play atEdgewood College next yearwhere she plans to study tobecome a nurse

All junior pitcher LoganLaski needed is a few runsTuesday in a WIAA Divi-sion 1 regional semifinalagainst No. 7 Monona Groveat Firemens Park in CottageGrove.

Laski threw a completegame in a 4-1 win for theNo. 10 Oregon baseball team(5-13 overall) to keep its sea-son alive for another coupleof days and to knock of theco-Badger South champions.

With the offensive sup-port, which hasnt come allseason, it is good to come ina regional game when it mat-ters, Laski said.

Clutch hits didnt come bythat easily in the beginning ofthe season, but things startedto turn around in the lastweek.

Still, head coach KevinConnor was not going totake anything for granted ashe turned to small ball fromthe start, calling for sacri-

fice bunts and hit-and-runsregardless of where batterswere in the lineup.

But even with executionto move runners into scor-ing position, the Panthers

still needed to get the hits,and they did in the top of thefourth when they put up athree on the scoreboard.

Senior Adam Brauns start-ed the inning with a sharpsingle to center field, and

junior catcher Collin Byronwalked a batter latter to puttwo on and one out.

Junior Lance Peterson wascalled in as a courtesy runnerfor Byron, and junior JackKrueger blooped a single tocenter field to load the bases.

That is when the clutchhits began falling.

Junior Austin Adamsstarted it off with a chopperpast the third baseman andshortstop for an RBI single,and senior Simon Mauricefollowed by roping an RBI

single of his own to centerfield. Junior Ross Gallowaycapped the inning with anRBI groundout.

All season, once we get ahitting streak like that going,the energy, you can just feelit building up in the dugout,Laski said. I really expectthe guys to keep it up afterthat.

That was all Laski neededas he only allowed a run onthree hits in seven innings.He struck out three andwalked none.

In fact, two of the three hitsagainst Laski were by DrewElbe, who hit a game-tyinghome run in the bottom of thesecond and a double in theseventh.

Oregon started the scor-ing with a run in the top ofthe first. Maurice walked andreached second on a bunt sin-gle by Galloway.

Maurice stole third, but thethird baseman threw the ballover the pitchers head andpast the first baseman allow-ing Maurice to score.

Oregon travels to BeloitCollege at 5 p.m. Thursday totake on No. 3 Beloit Memo-rial in the regional final.

Connor is not sure who hewill throw on the mound yet.

We are going to talk withthe coaching staff and figureout what is the best move tomake, Connor said. We

will figure out who is betterin relief and all of that.

Waunakee 5, Oregon 2The Panthers traveled to

Miller Park in Milwaukee totake on Waunakee in a non-conference game May 22 andlost 5-2.

The Panthers tied the gamein the third, but they allowedtwo runs in the bottom of theinning and never recovered.

Junior Jere Bauer was theleading hitter for Oregongoing 2-for-3.

Senior pitcher Zach Ragelspicked up the loss. Heallowed three earned runs onseven hits and one walk.

Junior Tyler Morten-son finished the game. Heallowed two earned runs ontwo hits. He walked one andstruck out one.

Baraboo 1, Oregon 0The Panthers concluded
