Marijuana fines varyby communityOos py

If youre caught with

marijuana in Oregon, the$505 fine on your citationis the third highest of 13Dane County municipali-ties surveyed by the OregonObserver.

Our ne ighbor to thenorth, Fitchburg, leads theway with a whopping fineof $1,311, or more than 11times the $114 that Madi-son charges. McFarlandcomes in second at $681.

Those fines could grow inrelevance if recently intro-duced legislation designedto give more power tomunicipalities to pursuemarijuana possession casesbecomes law.

But the fine amountsdont tell the whole story,said Oregon MunicipalCourt Judge Beth Cox,who notes that judges havediscretion in determiningfines.

Someone s topped forerratic driving who also hadpot in the car might drawa stiffer fine than some-one who was caught walk-ing around with just a fewcrumbs in his pocket, Coxsaid. Likewise, someonecaught with nearly an ounceof pot and scales to weighit might be fined morebecause they appear to have

intent to sell it.

She also might choose torefer a first-time offendingteenager for drug counsel-ing, rather than punish theyouth with steep fines, shesaid.

I look at all the circum-stances, she said. Its awhole variety of factors.

Bond amounts for localcitations are approved bythe Village Board based onrecommendations from thepolice chief in consultationwith the municipal court

The Village Board approved a planon Monday to convert a planned pri-vate street in the Legend at Bergam-ont into a public street and relocate agate.

The move is part of a plan byFiduciary Real Estate Development

owners of the Bergamont toincrease lot sales and housing startsat the westside property. The part ofthe development that exists withina gated community has seen slug-gish growth, Fiduciary officials said,while lots on public streets in thearea are beginning to move.

Raven Court is planned to be builtthis fall, said Public Works directorMark Below. When it is, it will bepublicly maintained and not within agated area.

The street will intersect Alpine

Parkway on the east and CarnoustieWay on the west. A small segmentof Carnoustie Way will also be con-verted to a public street from whereit meets Augusta Drive on the northto where it will eventually intersectwith Raven Court a block south ofAugusta.

When Chris Johnsonattended the Town of Ore-gon Board meeting earlierthis month, it was the firsttime shed visited TownHall since April.

That was when she lost a

coin toss and with it therace for town chair.Johnson had given up her

seat as three-term supervi-sor to challenge incumbentDarrell Weber for townchair. After the electiondust had settled, both can-didates had garnered 456votes. Thus the coin toss.

Johnson managed toavoid the next four TownBoard meetings.

But she said a personb e c o m e s e m o t i o n a l l yinvested after serving onthe board for six yearsand putting all that timeand energy in the townsbusiness. And finally, shecouldnt stay away.

Once youve beeninvolved in a board, youdont just walk away andsay Im done with every-thing, she said.

In the bloodJohnson, who retired as

a public school teacher andschool counselor with theOregon School District in2001, lived in the Villageof Oregon with her chil-dren and husband, Bob,for about 10 years before

moving a 24-acre propertyon Union Road 35 yearsago.

She inherited an inter-est in public affairs fromher mother, who had beena newspaper reporter andlater served on the schoolboard in Johnsons home-town of Oregon, Ill.

The idea of public ser-vice and being involved inthe community was just inthe family, Johnson said.My mom passed it to meand my sisters.

Serving on Town Board

has provided Johnsonwith an understanding ofthings about the town andits needs and operations

that she wasnt aware ofbefore.

No one is until youactually get into it, shesaid. For example, theAnderson Park Im justthrilled that its going tohappen. I know its goingto be around long after Imgone, but its in the pro-cess.

So when that first boardmeeting after the elec-tion came around, it was

really tough, Johnson

Once youve been

involved in a

board, you dont

just walk away and

say Im done with

everything.

Chris Johnson

Former Town of Oregon chair Chris Johnson has finally returned to town meetings after losing outon her seat by coming up on the short end of a coin flip after the April election ended in a tie.

Weve all heard thewords.

Ancient, old fogey,blue hairs, over the hill, codger,old fart and biddy. Weve heardthem and maybe weve even

mouthed them under our breathor yelled in exasperation whiledriving the Beltline.

At what point does one becomeold?

When I was10 years old,my Mom had asurprise birth-day party formy Dad. All theneighbors cameover and thelarge sheet cakewas unveiled.The inscrip-tion read, LifeBegins At 40.

I was devastated! I approachedDad with tears in my eyes andsaid, Are you going to die? Hethrew his head back with laughterand reassured me that he was fineand that he wasnt going to die.

When I was in high school,I thought some of my teach-ers were ancient. They wereprobably in their 30s. Ten years

later, when I turned 25, I thoughtWow! Im a quarter of a centuryold!

By the time I turned half a cen-tury, it was no big deal. At whatpoint do we change our outlook

and the way we think?Maybe some can pride them-selves in saying that they neveruse those common derogatorywords to describe older adults and maybe they dont but Illbet theres one word they do use,a word that also carries negativeconnotations.

I recently ran across this otherword in a blog titled Changin-gAging. That word is still.

Its a powerful word and yet atthe same time its very demean-ing. You know how it is used:My Uncle Bill still drives, andhes pushing 87 years old. Or,My Mom is still able to ski, andshes 75.

Another example was given inthis blog: AARP loves to praiseactive older adults and celebritieswho are still

And heres another example.They recently tweeted: @AARPBroadway legend Chita Rivera isstill fabulous and its her 80thBirthday. Cheers to Chita!

Someone from @ChangingAg-ing tweeted back: @AARP ChitaRivera is fabulous period.

Lose the still, please. Itsrevolting to characterize peoplesworth by what they can still do.

Im sure most of us truly thinkwere praising or boasting abouta loved one by using the wordstill, but it actually makes olderpeople seem less important.

We see daily examples at theOregon Area Senior Center ofpeople staying energetic in everyactivity imaginable, both physi-cal and mental. It doesnt occurto the staff to make note of some-one still participating.

We have people walking in forprograms and classes whose agesspan five decades. They play welltogether, and age is not a factor.

Its a tough thing to get ridof the word still in certainverbiage, and I know Ive beenguilty of using it in the past. Butfrom this point on, Im going totry my best to eliminate it.

Its a tough challenge, but Istill think it can be done.

Alison Koelsch is the direc-tor of the Oregon Area SeniorCenter.

Its what you can do,

not what you still do

Letters to the editor

OSD teacher handbooks oughtto include just cause clause

In the 47 years that we havelived in the Oregon School Dis-

trict, we have seen many changes.Buildings have been built and

remodeled, staff have been hiredand retired (including myself) andcontracts have been negotiatedand approved sometimes with theaid of an arbitrator.

During my tenure as a teacher/counselor at Brooklyn ElementarySchool, I experienced changes incontract language and the supportand impact of administration anda variety of school boards.

An important part of the con-tract was the just cause clause.In simple terms, just causemeans that in order to disciplineor dismiss an employee, theemployer must prove proper andsufficient reasons for the action.

Due to recent legislation, theOregon School Board and teach-ers have created a handbook. Thecurrent version of this handbookdoes not include a just causeclause.

The word jus t indica tesfair, impartial and unbiased evi-dence. Without this we risk

losing excellent and experiencedemployees due to subjective and

biased reasons with no recoursefor the employee. I know first-hand that the Oregon School Dis-trict strives to hire the best and thebrightest. That said, why wouldntthe Oregon School Board wantto keep those very teachers andstaff?

If concerns should arise, thejust cause clause provides a fairand unprejudiced procedure toevaluate employees and appropri-ate actions that can proceed.

It is in the best interest of ourteachers, staff, administration,board and especially our chil-dren that a just cause clause beincluded in the handbook.

High school blues band has album release showKImBERly WEThAl

Observer correspondent

The Blue Sundays, ablues-rock band composedof Oregon High School stu-dents, is releasing an albumof original music at an Aug.31 concert.

The group, made up ofseniors Helen Feest, MasonHiggins, Aaron Gochbergand Hannah Kane and

ju ni or Av er y Ca rp en te r,was formed after the stu-dents were involved in theannual OHS concert namedSchool of Rock.

We simply did not wantto stop playing music, saidFeest, lead singer of thegroup.

The groups genre canbe classified as blues-rock,but Feest said the band hasnever been interested into

fitting into the one-genremold with their music.

We find that writingto a genre stifles creativ-ity, so we are hesitant tolabel ourselves, Feest said.Instead, we invite ourlisteners to decide whereexactly our unique soundfits.

The idea to producean album came from thebands songwriter, guitaristand manager Mason Hig-gins, who thought it wouldbe a great way to gain abigger audience and lead tomore show bookings for thefuture.

He spent a few weekslooking up various record-ing studios, but none ofthem seemed right, Feestsaid. Then he found Sonsof Thunder in Brodhead andeverything just clicked.

The group hopes to selltheir album around Oregon,and members are optimis-tic about possible sales inMadison. The album canalso be found on majoronline music retailers suchas iTunes, Spotify, iHeart-Radio, Google Play andseveral other online stores.

The CD will be availablefor purchase at their releaseconcert at Triangle Park in

downtown Oregon for $10,and the band will be avail-able after the concert tosign the CDs for fans.

Feest and the rest of theband encourages anyone to

come and watch the showdespite their genre affilia-tion, saying they continueto bring new elements totheir performances withtwo new band members.

Our new percussionist,Aaron Gochberg, broughtus new style and flair to theband that we are very excit-ed to show off, Feest said.Our new bass player, Han-nah Kane, is still learning,

but she brings enthusiasm,comedy and a great can-doattitude to every rehearsaland show.

Give, But Give Wisely

It is good to give to charity, but we should do our homeworkbefore giving our money away. Giving to a poorly-run charity is

tantamount to lining the pockets of unscrupulous hucksters. Evenwell-meaning charities sometimes run afoul of the basic guide-

lines for a well-run charity. Charity Watch (charitywatch.org) ratesnational charities, and in their view, a well-run charity shouldhave at least 60% of their operating expenses going to chari-

table programs, and preferably at least 75%. Charity Navigator,another organization which rates charities, recommends that yoube proactive in your giving (i.e., avoid knee-jerk reactions), avoid

charities which are not transparent, and be careful of charitieswhose names may sound like reputable charities but are not.Charity Navigator even has a Top Ten list of best practices for

savvy donors. By all means, give to charities, but do it in such away that your money has the most bang for your buck.

Christopher Simon for Metro News Service

But since you excel in everything, in faith, in speech, in knowl-edge, in complete earnestness and in the lovewe have kindled in

you,see that you also excel inthis grace of giving.2 Corinthians 8:7

Boys soccer

Goals to go back to stateOgo ovs o Divisio2, looks o wi fif

saig Badg SouCofc capiosip

AnthOny IOzzOAssistant sports editor

Expectations are high after theOregon High School boys soccerteam made state for the first timesince 1998 last season.

But with 13 letterwinners gonefrom last season, including All-

State selections Scott Odorico andColin McReavy, nine returnersand some newcomers will have tofill in the gaps.

Odorico led Oregon with 10goals and six assists last season,and McReavy added five goals andtwo assists and was the captain ofthe defense.

Oregon also loses Andrew Jendand Adam Bessemer to gradua-tion, Both players combined for 10goals and three assists.

We try and set ourselves upto fill voids as kids graduate.The older guys step up, and theyounger guys always want to be inthe mix, and so it is always reallycompetitive to fight for varsity

roster spots, which is always goodfor a program, head coach KevinMay said. We have plenty of tal-ent to fill in some gaps we lost,and we have plenty of talent andexperience to move guys aroundand fill those gaps as well.

Ryan Machonga returns afterscoring four goals and picking upfour assists last season.

Shaw Storey had the secondhighest point total of any returner.He collected two goals and sevenassists in 2012. Nick Steidemannalso returns after scoring thegame-winning goal in the sectionalfinal last season.

Dan Dombrowski returns to thegoal after collecting 75 saves and

allowing 10 goals in 19 games.Jere Bauer returns as a backup

goalie. He had four saves in twogames last year.

Also returning are Spencer Pear-son, Nate McWilliams, Sam Mosi-man, Cam Kursel and JacksonSchneider.

We definitely have set ourexpectations high now, May said.We have the hunger to get back.The boys know our goals are sethigh now. We expect to win, andwe expect to play well. We aregoing to push ourselves to makesure we put ourselves in the best

spot to make state.

Move from D1 to D2In January, the WIAA Board of

Control voted to add another divi-sion to boys soccer. The changecreated a new cutoff for Division1 and Division 2 schools based onenrolment.

Oregon was right on that line butfell below the Division 1 cutoff,which happened to several BadgerSouth teams.

The move puts Oregon in abracket with Baraboo, Burling-ton, DeForest, Elkhorn Area, Fort

Atkinson, Milton, Monona Grove,Stoughton, Portage/Poynette,Reedsburg, Sauk Prairie, Water-ford, Waunakee, Westosha Centraland Wilmot Union

Conference preview

Oregon is once again the favor-ites in the Badger South, winning24 straight games and four titlessince 2009.

Everybody in conferenceknows it, and we continue toexpect to do well in conference,

Girls golf

Panthers return all

and look to surpriseAnthOny IOzzO

Assistant sports editor

Head coach Ben Cowansaid he was excited forthe youth and experiencethe girls would bring in2013, and with seven girlsreturning, including No.

1 Morgan McCorkle, thefuture looks bright for theOregon girls golf team.

B u t d e s p i t e h i g h e rexpectations that comewith age, McCorkle is alittle bit more reserved.

Playing in one of thetoughes t confe rences ,regionals and sectionals inthe state, McCorkle saidthat the most importantthing for the girls to do isto just play their game andenjoy it.

Anyone has a chanceif they play well, but ourgoal is just to have fun andget better, she said. If

we move on, great. If we

dont, we will still have alot of fun doing it.

Jennifer Johnson was theNo. 2 golfer last season,and she is joined by OliviaDavis, Ashley Brechlinand Jessica Nankivil fromlast years team.

Morgans sister Taylor

also joins the team thisseason after playing inseveral summer tourna-ments.

I am really excited, andI am going to have a lot offun, Morgan McCorklesaid. The team is reallyclose, and I think we willhave a really good sea-son.

Conference preview

As is the case every sea-son in the Badger South,Madison Edgewood is theteam to beat along withMilton.

Second-year head coachJamie White knows thatthis season is going to be arebuilding year for the Ore-gon girls tennis team afterlosing seven of 10 starters.While the Panthers wereaware of the graduationof their six seniors, junior

Kayla Whip moving out ofstate came as a surprise.That being said, White

acknowledged that as aresult, there is going to beplenty of opportunities fornew faces at the varsitylevel.

While the team onlyreturns three letterwinnersfrom a year ago, two ofthose are seniors.

Michelle Peterson went4-5 at doubles last year,while Danielle Keller was6-6.

Peterson is expected tomove from No. 1 doublesinto one of the teams topsingles spots.

Sophomore Leah Koop-man (10-7) figures to moveup to the other singles spot.

A fantastic goalie on theice, junior Kenzie Torpy isa newcomer to the team thisyear and will start the sea-son out at No. 3 singles.

Kenzie has been a wel-come surprise to our team,White said.

Juniors Claire Masseyand Kaci Bausch are bat-tling for the No. 4 singlesspot.

Stoughton finished thirdlast season behind Edge-wood and Milton. It hada 3-2 record in duals andscored a 370 in the confer-ence meet.

It returns Becky Klong-land, a two-t ime s ta tequalifier.

Oregon hosts Milton at10 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 27,at Foxboro Golf Course toopen the dual season.

It then travels to Kosh-konong Mounds CountryClub at 10 a.m. Thursday,Aug. 29, to take on FortAtkinson.

Oregon travels to Coach-m ans Gol f Course a t3:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept.10, and it hosts Madison

Edgewood at Foxboro at3:30 p.m. Monday, Sept.16.

Oregon finishes the dualseason at 4 p.m. Tuesday,Sept. 17 at Monona GolfCourse.

Sectional preview

Of course, after the con-ference, the road to stateis even harder, especiallywith Madison Memorialand Middleton both beingin Stoughtons sectional.

Besides those two teams,the Panthers a lso haveto contend with BadgerSouth powers Stoughtonand Monona Grove and theBadger Norths Waunakeealong with Watertown andBeaver Dam.

With only two spotsavailable, it becomes clearthat Oregon will need topost some low numbers to

make it past that gauntlet.Some good news is that

the two courses Oregonhas to play in the postsea-son are Watertown Coun-try Club (regionals) andOdana Hills Golf Course(sectionals) which are bothlocal courses that the Pan-thers know well.

Some of the invitation-als we go to are really dif-ficult, and it is the samein the sectional with someof the top area teams toplay against and in con-ference as well, MorganMcCorkle said. I thinkthat wil l jus t bring uscloser together, and if wecan just work together asa team, we can do greatthings.

Oregon just missed mak-ing sectionals as a team bytwo strokes last season atWatertown Country Club.

Tennis: Girls rise to challenge before them

Cassandra Krier.Sophomore Jess Nytes /

senior Cosette Sommers,freshmen Renee Lawan-dowski/Katie Pliner andsophomores Jess Bartelt/Madeline Bjerke are all inthe mix for the other twovarsity doubles spots.

The third of those teamswill be Oregons JV teamand a varsity alternate.

With so many new faces,its anyones game, Whitesaid. Weve challengedthe girls to take advantageof this opportunity and a

few have really stepped upand taken advantage of anopportunity that they maynot have thought was goingto be there.

Wi th the McF ar landInvite on Wednesday, ahome dual against Wau-nakee on Thursday, a JVInvite over the weekendand a doubles tournamentin Baraboo on Monday White said she is optimisticabout sorting out the lineupby early next week.

Our challenge matcheslast week didnt necessarilyfall the way we expected,so its made things interest-ing, she said.

As far as the way theBadger South Conferenceraces shapes up? MadisonEdgewood is again the topcontender. The Panthersended up tied with Monroefor third last season.

Despite all the departures,though, White doesntexpect play to drop off allthat much.

Last year was the bestfinish our team has had atconference while I havebeen involved with coach-

ing and I hope to do just aswell this year, she said. Itwill be a challenge, but Ithink out team is up to it.

June and July came andwent. But when the Augustmeeting came up, I decidedI needed to go, she said dur-ing an interview last week.

Johnson had been keepingup with the meeting agendas

and knew there were a cou-ple of issues at the Augustmeeting that shed workedon. She wanted to be there tosee them resolved.

I thought it would be real-ly nice to go to this one, butto be honest with you, it washard to walk through thatdoor, she said. And it washard to sit on that side of thetable. But I did it, and nowthe first time is over with, soit probably wont be so diffi-cult next time.

Difficult choicesServing on the board is

a tough job, Johnson said,because it means sometimesmaking decisions that arentpopular.

A relatively recent case inpoint was her support of theplan to remove a dozen or soold oak trees from Nether-wood Road just west of theVillage of Oregon to allowAlliant Energy to install newpower lines.

She had faced a similarsituation not long after beingelected. American Transmis-sion Company had soughtapproval for new power linesand a substation along FishHatchery Road in the town-ship. Again, Johnson votedto support the project despite

strong opposition from someproperty owners in the town.

Its difficult because youknow residents are upsetwith you and it does affectyou personally, she said.

But its the old not in mybackyard type of thing. AndI think as a member youhave to sit down and look atthose types of things and ask,whats the best for the great-er good?

She said in both cases, itwas similar to experiences

she had working with parentsas a teacher and counselor,that compromise was neededon all sides.

If you work with some-one youll get much furtherthan if you fight someone,she said. We hated to losethe trees, but we needed thepower. And some trees weredonated and replanted, soI think things have workedout.

Another example cametwo years ago, when John-son decided to take a standagainst Gov. Scott Walk-ers Act 10 legislation. Shedrafted a resolution that putthe Town Board on recordopposing the bill.

The resolution passed on a3-1-1 vote but was opposedby many of Johnsons town-ship neighbors, where politi-cal views tend to run moreconservative than in DaneCounty cities.

Johnson said even someof her own family memberscriticized her for authoringthe resolution.

When I was running forre-election, I had a couple ofphone calls from people whoquestioned me quite deeply,and they just finally said, Ithink youre too liberal forme, she recalled. And I

said, Thanks for being hon-est. I try to do the best forthe town, and its not alwayspopular. I have to thinkwhats best for the town-ship.

She s a id mos t whoopposed her stand againstAct 10 focused solely on theanti-union aspects of the bill.They criticized her becauseas a former teacher and unionmember, they felt she wasacting in her own self inter-est.

But there was much morein the bill than language cur-tailing the power of public-

sector unions, Johnson noted.I pointed out that the res-

olution had multiple layers toit, she said.

One was a Medicaid provi-sion that she said affected a

fair number of people in thetown. And another allowedthe state to sell propertywithout bids, which she saidgoes against the grain ofpublic property.

She knew the resolutionmay not make a differencein the outcome at the statelevel, but she took comfortthat at least weve had ourvoices heard.

I thought I spoke for a lotof different factions in thetown when I did that, shesaid.

Town in good handsAfter living in the town-

ship for 35 years and teach-ing and working as a coun-selor in Brooklyn, Johnsonsaid, there is no way to sepa-rate herself from the commu-nity regardless of whethershe serves again as an electedofficial.

Im a part of the com-munity, she said. I haveso many relationships in thetown, and those things dontgo away.

Johnson said no longerbeing a member of the TownBoard has left a small hole,although she now has timefor personal things that shedidnt before.

But leaving it all wouldcreate a big void, she said.If things come up that Ithink need a voice, I certain-ly would be there to speakup. I think its important todo that.

One of the things she miss-es most about leaving theboard is the regular interac-tion with staff at Town Hall.

I really miss Jennifer(Hanson, deputy clerk) andDenise (Arnold, town clerk)and the road crew (AbelSchultz and Ryan Zurfluh),Johnson said. We had agreat time together and I hada great relationship with allfour of them. I do miss that,that personal side of it.

Arnold told the Observerthat feeling is mutual.

Someones there for allof your meetings and all thesudden theyre gone, she

said. It was hard. When Isaw Chris at the meetingtwo weeks ago, I felt like sheshould be over here on theother side of the table.

Johnson said leaving the

board is a bit easier knowingthe town is being run by aprofessional, effective staff.

I told someone I feel badthat I lost the coin toss andthat Im off the board, shesaid, but I feel really goodthat we have four excellent,exemplary employees and

the town really is in goodhands.

Johnson: Drafted Town Board bill to oppose Gov. Walkers Act 10 legislationContinued from page 1

deve l -opment

at the northern end of CarnoustieWay. It will be removed and relo-cated a few hundred feet south, soRaven Court will not be within thegated part of the neighborhood.

Another gate would be add-

ed farther east and just south ofwhere Carnoustie Way, which isa U-shaped street, will intersectRaven Court to the east. CarnoustieWay will remain private south ofRaven Court.

Trustee Jerry Bollig asked whyFiduciary wants to make the chang-es, and engineer Bill Ohm said thedecision was market-driven. He

said there has been no develop-ment within the gated section ofthe neighborhood, while lots in thepublic section of the area have beenquite active.

We just accepted three offerson Augusta and have a deal on fiveother lots, he said, adding that 13

out of 18 lots there are already spo-ken for.Fiduciary has reduced the size of

the lots and the homes it will buildin the area. But it has bumped upour lot prices, Ohm said.

The board also discussed theLegend at Bergamont sign on Car-noustie Way, which will remain inplace on what will now be a private

street. Below said he initially wasskeptical of allowing the sign toremain, but later worked out amaintenance agreement with thedeveloper.

When we first started discuss-ing this probably a year ago, myopinion was just get rid of all that

stuff (the sign, gates and archesthat marked the start of the privatearea) and straighten out the streetso it looks like a typical residentialstreet, Below said. Then we hadsome discussions with them (Fidu-ciary) and the Planning Commis-sion, and at the end of the day theydecided the arches and gates aregoing to be gone but the island and

sign and ornamental stuff couldstay.

Craig Raddatz, Fiduciary vicepresident, told the board last springthat his company wants to buildthe street this year in order to openmore lots for development in themid-level price range.

Below said the change will havea small impact on the street depart-ment because the short segment ofstreet will have to be snow plowedand maintained by the village.
