Although still in its infan-cy, a county park that couldone day include nearly 600acres is slowly taking shapeon the villages southernboundary.

Right now, Anderson FarmCounty Park is mostly farm-land, an idea and a plan. But agroup of volunteers, AndersonPark Friends, has been restor-

ing a forest area that abuts thevillages south side and hascreated about a mile of trail

through the woods.So far, Dane County has

purchased 302 acres fromthe Lyman Anderson FamilyTrust at a cost of $3.6 million,said Laura Hicklin, deputydirector of the countys Landand Water Resources Depart-ment.

A master plan envisionsacquiring a total of 568 acresthrough the countys landconservation fund and vari-ous grants. At full buildout,

the park could extend fromthe villages southern bound-ary south to County Hwy. A,

east to County Hwy. MM andwest to Town Park on Glen-way Road.

Hicklin said when the parkis fully developed, it wouldbe one of the countys largestparks.

The park is still veryyoung, and we have not madesignificant progress in devel-oping (what is in) the mas-ter plan, Hicklin said. Andthats OK. Were really proudof whats happened so far

and particularly proud of theFriends group and the effortthat the community has made

to get the park up and running.Thats a great way for thepark to be established.

Friends lead the wayRoe Parker is president

of Anderson Park Friends,established in 2013, and saidthe group has 72 dues-payingmembers from the Oregonarea . The organiza t ionsboard of directors meets oncea month, and volunteers con-duct a workday the second

Saturday of each month.

unique in it, he told theObserver on Friday, a weekbefore taking part in the 14South Artists Tour.

As a student at OregonHigh School, he took a coupleart and design classes, butdidnt really do much withany of it until about five yearsago, when he tried to make astand for an oversized ham-mock purchased by his wife,Jodi. It didnt take long beforehis creative eye started takingover, and soon, the hammockstand was turning into some-thing quite different..

I got done with it and said,That looks like Viking boat

I need a dragons head, Iglchuckled. Forget the rest ofthe hammock. I tied (the ham-

mock) between two posts.From then, he was hookedon making scrap art, atfirst using what he couldscrounge around his shop tomake small pieces for aroundhis yard. That, in turn, gothim into welding, and thenone thing led to another, asfriends and neighbors startedtaking notice.

Everybodys saying, Oh,make me a piece, make me apiece, Igl said. Pretty soon,I realized there was a com-mercial value to it. Every-bodys like, Wow, man, thisstuff is so cool you need toget bigger stuff.

While Igl has a day job thatsuits him fine, to help scratchthat artistic itch, he and hiswife, Jodi, have been attend-ing fine art shows for the pasttwo-and-a-half years aroundthe area, hauling around atrailer thats packed full of hissculptures. His art has donewell, but getting a first placein the Spring Green Art Showwas a proud moment, and itwas recognition for work welldone that he never could haveimagined just a few years ago.

Ive always had a hardtime understanding whatmakes my pieces so differentand unique than others, Iglsaid. Ive been told that other

people do recycled art, butthey dont do it like I do Imnot sure what that means.

Creating a careerIt all starts with an eye

for function, and using partsfor an endless variety ofways they werent designedfor. Before long, turbines,wrenches, roof tiles, nails,and random spare parts areturned into spiders, bats,birds, and a wide assortmentof creatures and shapes.

Every little piece is dif-ferent, Igl said.

Now that hes gotten areputation as an artist, Igl is

starting to branch out to findnew materials for his cre-ations. His wife is a fan ofgarage sales and auctions,which have been good sourc-es, but as more people findout about him, theyre invit-ing him to pick throughtheir attics and garages insearch of inspiration.

Nowadays, people dontwant to throw it away, theywant to recycle, and they seeI can make a purpose for it,he said.

Last week, the Igls trav-eled to Darlington, wherethey met a lady whose father,

a serious collector of items,had recently passed away.

He was in retail hardwarefor 65 years, but she had nouse for any of it, he said.(She said) come and clean itup, not a dime (of cost). Wehad that pick-up truck justheaped full.

And there will be a sur-prise ending when hes done,as well.

Im going to take herfathers pieces and make hersomething, even though shesaid she didnt want anythingfor it, Igl said.

Using old materials fornew purposes can often haveunintended consequences.The first pick he ever didwas at a neighbors house afew years ago. The man sal-vaged everything, and washaving some trouble givingitems away, which Igl tooknotice of.

So I came home thevery next day and made

him a little pigeon out ofbutter knives, because hewas always into passengerpigeons, he said. I took itto him, and he started crying.It just meant to much to havesomething back.

Making moreIgl, who documents and

photographs each of hisworks, said hes alwaysworking on multiple projectsin his shop and has complet-ed more than 500 sculpturesin the past several years.

That number includesa staggering variety andquantity of birds, which are

always a big hit for art col-lectors.I cant build enough

birds, he chuckled. Anytime Im prepping for ashow, its make sure Ive got(plenty).

While a simple projectcould take a matter of hours,larger ones can take weeks ormonths. Igl said an averagebird takes about four hours.

During the winter, he tendsto work on fewer projects,

just because of a lack of artshows during the season, butInternet sales are beginningto offset his off season.

The first Packer pre-season game, I finished up alittle pony with the barrel kegin the middle, Igl said. Iposted it at halftime, and bythe end of the fourth quarterit was sold, with three peoplebidding on this. Right now,the return customers are real-ly coming to me, looking forpieces.

And dont look for Igl tostop creating, because at thispoint, he said he cant stopnow.

I get so much enjoymentout of it, Igl said. Even ifI wasnt selling it, Id still bebuilding it.

The birthplace of studio glassRetired UW professor featured in 14 South Artists tour

BILL LIVICKUnified Newspaper Group

Steve Feren worked as anart professor at University

of Wisconsin-Madison for31 years before retiring twoyears ago. Since then, theFitchburgr e s i d e n t whoseg a l l e r yand studiois locatedon CountyMM justnorth ofthe Village of Oregon hasbeen continuing to work onhis glass sculptures alongwith teaching classes at hisstudio.

I offer these three-weekclasses three times a year,Feren said.

He also continues to dis-play his work at special show-cases throughout the state.

Feren has been creatingsculpture for public placessince 1980. Hes worked ina variety of media but is bestknown for glass sculpture.Hes also done glass castrelief murals, fiber optics andglass outdoor environments,and mosaic sculpture andfloors, in addition to his workwith concrete and glass.

Ferens worked with archi-tects, designers, engineers andplanning committees whilecreating art for universities,municipalities, companies

and private collectors.He was born and raised in

Cleveland and came to theMadison area in 1982.

His Fitchburg studio andgallery are open by appoint-ment, and are part of the 14South Artist tour on Sept.12-13.

Feren spoke with theObserver about his work andcareer in June.

OO:How did you hit upon

glass as your primary medi-um?Feren: I went to a craft

school out in Maine called

Haystack Mountain Schoolin 1972 and by chance took

a glass course and have beendoing glass on and off eversince.

OO:What struck your fan-cy about glass as a medium?Feren: I think glass is

inherently beautiful, and itssort of a paradox: its durable,and it can last 10,000 years orbe gone in a second. Its verytemporal. In that way its anamazing medium. Its like amoment frozen in time, whichalways sort of impressed meas a sort of frozen object.

Theres a reason that peo-ple love diamonds. Glass is

really about light, which is anessential medium that causesus all to live. So we actuallyreact very strongly to it. Itssomething that reaches peo-ple.

OO: And how did you

wind up at the UW?Feren: There was a job

open and they wanted a sculp-ture to run the glass program,someone with glass experi-ence. They hired me. I wasout on the East Coast andcame here for the job.

The UW-Madison was thefirst university glass program.

A man named Harvey Mid-dleton started this in the1960s, and so this is really thebirthplace of studio glass.

And the glass program nowis still really quite strong.

OO:Was there a technol-ogy developed in the 1960sthat didnt exist before? Isthat how this art from cameabout, and it didnt reallyexist before that?Feren:It existed in places

like Italy and Czechoslova-kia and other places, but itexisted as a factory art form.And what they did here isbring it into the art school. Itwas basically meant to be sopeople could start to developtechnology that would allowthem to set up their own stu-dio as an individual. That wassort of the breakthrough, andit took many years to be ableto get the skills and technol-ogy for the glass workers todevelop it, because they start-ed out with almost no knowl-edge in the 60s and 70s.And now American glass issort of world-renowned.

OO:What are the key tools

or instruments involved?Feren:Most of the tools

are ancient tools that havebeen used for a thousandyears blowpipes and handtools, and tools for formingas well as a furnace to meltglass in, and then a reheatingchamber.

OO:I had a friend back inthe 1970s that was very intoglass blowing but he couldnever take it beyond a pasttime. He tried to turn it intoan occupation but wasnt suc-cessful.Feren: Its very difficult

to make a living. The cost ofproducing glass is very highand the hours that it takes andthe amount of labor is veryintensive. So its not an easyroute. There are people whomake good money at it but

its like anything else.Its very labor intensive.

Youve got to work hard.Youre standing in front of afurnace or youre polishingheavy glass. Its nothing forthe faint of heart; you have tobe dedicated to it.

OO:Tell me about some ofyour more established works.Feren:A lot of my glass-

work has been done for pri-vate collectors. But most ofit is commission work, andits not all glass. Ive got fivemajor pieces in Milwaukeeand have pieces all over thecountry. I do a lot with light

as well fiber optics and LEDlight. I also do steel welding.

Retiring from a job that

never felt like workI

ts said that when you loveyour job you never work aday in your life.

For the past 41 1/2 years I havecome to my job first as a PublicWorks crewman, ending as Pub-lic Works Director. I mowed thecemetery with a push lawnmow-er. I walked the streets to readwater meters in home basements.Often times that meant mak-ing appointments on weekendsand fendingoff aggressivedogs. I duggraves by handwith a shoveland pick. Iwas the sewerplant operator.I climbed tothe top of eachwater tower formaintenanceor inspection. I was there whenthe tin man water tower wastaken off line in the middle of

the night. Since that was during asnow storm, I went to plow snowafterward. Many a ChristmasEve and Christmas morning, mykids waited for me to come homefrom plowing before they openedtheir presents. I spent many ofmy evenings at Village Boardand committee meetings.

Whenever you flush your toi-lets, drive on a plowed street,have your leaves disappearfrom your curb, pour a glassof water, take a shower, play agame in a newly mowed park orwalk through a cemetery to say

good-bye to someone special,remember there are many hard-working people behind the scenesthat you may take for granted.

I grew up in Oregon and amgrateful that I have had theopportunity to give back to theVillage in a way that only some-one in Public Works can.

I would like to thank MaynardStoehr and that Village Board forhiring me some 41 years ago. Ithank the past Village presidentsand boards for having faith inme to do what is best for the Vil-lage of Oregon residents. I thankall department heads from thelibrary, senior center, and policedepartment. Our working rela-tionship has always been great,which ultimately serves Oregonresidents well. I thank the Vil-lage administrator Mike Graczfor our working relationship thathas been both professionally andpersonally a pleasure. We haveaccomplished many great things

together. I thank the Villageoffice staff. Lisa, Peggy, Candie,Joy, Beth and Sue, you havealways kept me on my toes. Icounted on your expertise to helpme do my job and correct myhorrible spelling.

Most of all, I thank the Pub-lic Works crew. You have trulymade my job as your departmenthead worry free. Gary Disch,thank you for being my righthand. I relied heavily on youand truly appreciate all you havedone for me. Thank you sewerplant operators Cal, Sonny, and

Jim. Thank you water depart-ment staff Don and Amos. Thankyou building maintenance staffNeil and Mark. Thank you parksdepartment staff Dan and yoursummertime LTEs. Thank youstreet department staff Nick, Jeff,Gene, Billy and Terry. You wereall hired for your special skillsand knowledge. I cant begin totell you how much I respect youall for your professionalism andwork ethic. I know how hard youwork and the sacrifices you makefor your families. I walked inyour shoes. I feel like I haventthanked you enough. I couldntbe more proud to have you serv-ing the residents of the Village ofOregon.

As I leave my employment asPublic Works director I just wantto say to the residents of the Vil-lage of Oregon, I have alwaysdone the best I could for you. Ithas been my pleasure servingyou.

Looking back, I did love myjob so I guess that means I neverworked a day in my 41-plus yearsof employment with the Villageof Oregon.

I plan to stay in Oregon withmy family. My wife Carol andI will travel a bit, spend moretime with our grandchildren, andenjoy more time at the lake. Ilook forward to the new chapterin my life.

Village of Oregon

Parks neighborhood maps forwardedOne of the last steps in approv-

ing the wooded addition to theOregon Parks Neighborhoodmade its way through the villagePlanning Commission last week.

The preliminary and final platmaps for the neighborhood were

forwarded to the Village Board atthe commissions Sept. 3 meeting.

The Village Board will vote onthe maps at its Sept. 21 meeting,village administrator Mike Graczsaid.

The plat maps show whereroads, utility easements and lots

will be placed within the 21-acresubdivision. The lots are beingmarketed as wooded lots androughly 70 percent of mature treeson the property will have to bemaintained or replaced as the par-cels are developed.

The subdivision will include 32single-family lots and 12 duplexeson the remaining lots. The yet-to-be-built street will have drain-age swales, rather than traditionalcurb and gutter.

Study: Influenza first hits schools, then communityResearchers tracked

OSD absences

When it comes to fig-uring out when the flu

is going to hit a commu-nity, check the sick lists atarea schools. Thats whatresearchers are saying afterreviewing first-year data ina UW School of Medicineand Public Health study.

The study is led by Ore-gon native Dr. Jon Temte,professor of family medi-cine at UW, who saidresearch pointed to wide-spread flu activity in thecommunity one to twoweeks after the flu appearsin school children.

The children then takeit home to their moms anddads, younger siblings and

grandparents, he said.Temte and his team ofresearchers tracked influen-za-like illness and absences

in the Oregon School Dis-trict during the last flu sea-son that ended in spring.The flu activity in schoolswas then compared to theactivity seen in UW Health

clinics visited by Oregonresidents. The researchersfound a high correlationbetween school absenc-es for influenza-like ill-ness and positive flu casesreported by the clinics.

District participationIn the Oregon Child

Absenteeism Due to Respi-ra to ry Dis eas e S tudy(ORCHARDS), parentswho call the Oregon SchoolDistricts absentee phoneline get an automated mes-sage about the study. Themessage directs those inter-ested in participating inthe study to call the studyphone number for a briefphone interview.

If the child is eligible,

a research team membermakes a home visit to col-lect information on symp-toms and to collect noseand throat specimens. Oneis used for a rapid flu test

that allows the researchersto provide results within45 minutes to two hours.Another specimen is sentto the Wisconsin StateLaboratory of Hygienefor molecular testing thatcan identify 17 respiratoryviruses.

During the first yearof the three-year study,researchers conducted 129home visits, and Temte saidresearchers were thrilledwith the response from theOregon community.

Our staff was welcomedinto their homes and par-ents said they were grate-ful for the rapid flu testresults, he said.

During the school year,the research team receives

daily reports from the dis-trict on the number ofschool absences, how manystudents were absent withillness and how many wereabsent with influenza-like

illnesses.Our hope is to have anearly warning system thataccurately tells us wheninfluenza is hitting a com-munity and to be able togeneralize the system toany school district that haselectronic records, Temtesaid.

Temte received $1.5 mil-lion over three years forthe study from the Centersfor Disease Control andPrevention. As part of thepartnership with the OregonSchool District, each schoolreceives $4000 per year indiscretionary money fromthe grant. In addition, eachparticipating child receivesa $20 gift card and a lot ofinformation on influenza.

Lupus walk hits homeLocal woman raising awareness of incurable condition

JACOB BIELANSKIUnified Newspaper Group

Five months into her firstpregnancy 26 years ago,Oregon resident Patricia

Saunders developed a rashher doctors dismissed aspregnancy spots.

Today, those spotshaunt Ana as an incurableand, in her words, largelyunknown disease calledLupus. And on 10 a.m.on Sept. 12, Saunders andmany others will make aroughly three-mile trek fromFiremans Park in Middle-ton to the Pheasant BranchConservancy to raise aware-ness of a condition whichafflicts 1.5 million in theU.S., according to the LupusFoundation of America.

Lupus is a condition

where the bodys immunesystem attacks healthy cellsand tissues in the body. Themost persistent symptom ofLupus includes joint pain,rashes, fever and exhaus-tion.

Imagine flu-like symp-toms living with this

24/7. Saunders said in an

email to the Observer.She said when the dis-ease itself is not damagingher organs, the treatmentsoften can. Treatments forlupus include anti-malarialmedications and low dosechemotherapy. Researcherscurrently dont know what

causes lupus. Saunders saidshe is the only lupus war-rior in Oregon, but that

the disease affects over28,000 people in Wiscon-sin.

The walk would be thesecond such walk in theMadison area, Last yearsevent brought in nearly$63,000 in donations. Asof Tuesday, Saunders

personal donation site hadgarnered $2,205 in dona-tions, beyond her goal of$2,000 towards the Wis-consin chapter of the LupusFoundation of America.

These donation came inaddition to sponsorshipfrom her employer, ClearyBuilding Corp. of Verona.

Donations to the founda-tion will be used to furtherthe organizations goal ofproviding research, edu-cation and advocacy toimprove the quality of lifefor sufferers of lupus.

For Saunders, who wasborn and raised on a farm,the effect of lupus can betoo much. Dealing withher illness often involveslimiting her time outside inthe sun, and wearing longsleeves and high-SPF sun-

block in those instanceswhen she must.I want to be able to con-

tinue living my life, shesaid. Riding my horses,riding motorcycles andwatching my step-daugh-ters beautiful little girlgrow up.

Asking for Wisdom

When Solomon was invited by God to ask for whateverhe wanted, he asked not for wealth, or long life, or even

good health, but for wisdom, the discerning heart to knowright from wrong (1 Kings 3). While those other things

(wealth and health) are good in their own way, or condi-tionally good, wisdom is unconditionally good. Wealth andhealth are only good if they are associated with a person ofgoodwill, but if the person in question is evil, their wealth

only aids them in their evil designs. But wisdom, by its very

nature, causes one to be good. The wise man is the manwho is concerned, first and foremost, with doing the rightand good actions befitting him. It would indeed be a contra-diction to say that someone was very wise but also proneto frequent moral failings. This doesnt mean that the wiseperson never does wrong. No one except God is perfectlywise or perfectly good. The wise person is always strivingto do the right thing, both in the big and small decisions

of life. It is noteworthy that Solomon, in the conclusion toEcclesiastes, a book highlighting the vanity and emptinessof wealth and most human endeavors, including the searchfor knowledge, says that our ultimate purpose is to fear God

and keep his commandments. Christopher Simon, Metro News Service

Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of thematter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this isthe duty of all mankind. For God will bring every deed intojudgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good

or evil. Ecclesiastes 12: 13-14

Parker explained that hisgroup works closely withDane County parks officialsto implement items in the

master plan, drafted in 2012,which lays out a vision forthe next 20 years.

While many details in theplan have yet to be finalized,the outline calls for devel-opment of Anderson FarmCounty Park in three phasesthat span 20 years.

There were eight or ninecommunity input meetingsleading to the final plan,Parker told the Observer.

The Friends group has alist of specific goals it hopesto accomplish in the next fiveyears.

Components includedeveloping an informal rec-reation area on the east side

of Union Road (now a soy-bean field), a 40-acre off-leash dog exercise area nearthe intersection of CountyA and Union Road, a balldiamond, a disc golf course,primitive campsites, hikingand biking trails and severalareas for agriculture projects.

Those plans will be clearernext year, Parker said.

In January each year,we propose things wed liketo do and the county workswith us to help us accom-plish them, he explained.We hold a joint meeting andagree on goals for the com-ing year.

Parker said one of theagriculture areas would bededicated for an emergen-cy food pantry garden thatwould serve 20 to 30 fami-lies. Another would serve asa market garden, while athird would be set up for edu-cation and demonstrations.

The Friends group hasalready been using the parkas an opportunity to teachkids about the natural world.In early March, second- andthird-graders from BrooklynElementary School took afield trip and learned abouttapping maple trees to makesyrup. Oregons Gene Ber-man explained and demon-strated the process, whileWayne Ace provided trans-portation through his bus ser-vice.

We wanted the kids toknow that food comes fromthe ground and from thetrees, not from the grocerystore, Parker said.

The Friends group hasnot limited itself within theOregon School District, pro-viding other opportunities togo with special events suchas Arbor Day. This yearsArbor Day included localresident Jeff Olson, of Arbor

Systems, who organized fivelearning stations for fourth-graders from Prairie View.

Among other activities,Olson did a demonstrationof how to climb trees with

ropes and harnesses, andthen kids could climb withthe safety equipment if theywanted, Parker recalled.

He said some churchgroups and other social orga-nizations have pitched in todevelop the park. OregonBoy Scout Troop 50 wasout in force on Aug. 8,helping to open the path to amaple tree grove and removeinvasive plants.

In January, youths fromOperation Fresh Start inMadison came to the park toclear trails, burn brush pilesand create wildlife habitat.

Church groups involvedin the parks development

have included Holy Motherof Consolation CatholicChurch, Community LifeLutheran Church and St.Johns Lutheran.

Valuing natural areasBob and Sue Eagle joined

the Friends group almost twoyears ago, and Sue was soonelected to the groups boardof directors.

Bob Eagle told the Observ-er he and his wife place ahigh value on natural spaces.

We really appreciate theoutdoors and the efforts toprotect the land, he said.Theres nothing wrong with

housing and development,but if everything becomeshousing and development,you dont have any wildlifeanymore.

Were not radicals, hewas quick to add. We like todo our part, and I think therehas to be a balance.

Eagle noted that DaneCounty cant maintain itsparks without the Friendsgroups, and said he was gladto be one of literally thou-sands of volunteers through-out Dane County that main-tain the parks that the countyprovides.

He and Sue have pitchedin by clearing brush andremoving invasive species tomake room for wildflowersand other native plants.

Eagle said hes been sur-prised at how much localinterest there is in the park.

There are two entrancesat the north and the east end,at Main Street and RidgeView Lane, he said. Theneighbors come by, and wetalk with them and they seemto be excited.

County targeted areaThe original idea for a

park in the area came from

the Dane County Parks andOpen Space Plan, a docu-ment the county updatesevery five years. The plancalled for a county recreationpark located somewhere in

south-central Dane County.So that need was iden-

tified, and then at somepoint the Anderson familyapproached us and said theywere interested in workingwith the county to establisha park on their property,Hicklin explained. We onlywork with willing sellers,and this happens to coincidenicely with our Parks andOpen Space Plan.

She said the county likespark developments to hap-pen slowly so the commu-nity has an opportunity toget involved and to helpdrive some of the decision-

making.Roe and the Friends havedone a nice job of that andtheyve been a real assetto the park, Hicklin said.The county really enjoyedworking with the Andersonfamily on the purchase, andwe think that we created theframework for a wonderfulpark.

But, she said, its reallybeen the Friends and thecommunity that propelledthat vision forward and kindof fostered the developmentsooner than we would havebeen able to on our own.

Sign of quality careCountry View Veterinary Service gets new display, award

MARK IGNATOWSKI

Unified Newspaper Group

It took almost a year, butCountry View Veterinary

Service has a new sign infront of its building at thecorner of Fish Hatchery Roadand County Hwy. CC.

The 14-year-old clinic itselfis set back from the road, soyou might not even know itsthere. And it took a while toget all the approvals becausethe sign is located along ahighway, explained one ofCountry Views owners, Dr.Emily Leuthner.

It was the talk of the townbecause it took forever,Leuthner said. Were reallyproud of it.

The sign gives some namerecognition to the building

located at the busy intersec-tion.And while the sign is new,

the full-service veterinaryclinic has been an Oregonbusiness for more than adecade. Formed after a splitwith Oregon VeterinaryClinic, Country View hasoccupied their building justoutside the Village of Oregonsince 2001. The clinic offersa host of veterinary servicesand has about a 50/50 split oflarge animal vs. small-animalpatients, Leuthner said.

Since opening, CountryView has had an active rolein the community and hasprovided routine and emer-gency care for pets, horses

and livestock. Most recently itwas named the top vet servicein the region by a nationaltherapeutic horsemanshiporganization. One of its vets Dr. Laura Anderson wasalso recently certified in atype chiropractic care for pets.

The clinic also has groom-ing and boarding services, inaddition to training programsthat range from puppy classesto specialty programs likeagility courses and trackingclasses.

PATH awardOne of the clinics biggest

honors was being named asthe regions Veterinarian ofthe Year by The ProfessionalAssociation of TherapeuticHorsemanship Internationalgroup.

Its really pretty incred-ible, Leuthner said of theunexpected nominationby Three Gaits Therapeu-tic Horsemanship Center in

Stoughton.Leuthner said Dr. Judy

Batker and other CountryView staff spend a lot of timeworking with Three Gaits,an organization that providesequine-assisted activitiesand therapies that enhance

the lives of people with physi-cal, emotional or intellectualchallenges. Country Viewdonates a lot of in-kind care,as well.

Leuthner said the PATHInternational group will selectone of the six regional final-ists this fall to be named theveterinarian of the year.

In addition to the PATHaward, Country View donatestime and services to manyother groups in the area. Theywork with pet rescues servic-es and host adoption events.Staff also work with local4-H groups and help at theDane County Fair, Leuthnersaid. They are also a large-animal internship location

for the UW School of Veteri-nary Medicine, and they hosta variety of talks and work-shops for animal groups.

Vet servicesThe national recogni-

tion has been welcome and

unexpected, Leuthner said,but added that the clinic hasalways focused on providingquality care.

We see a lot, but were notwhat I would consider a high-volume practice, Leuthnersaid. We try and focus on thebest individual patient carethat we can.

The clinic has eight doc-tors on staff, six certified vettechs and nearly two dozenassistants, support staff andgrooming staff member onthe payroll. Not all the doc-tors are currently practicingveterinary medicine, Leuth-ner said, but they split theirspecialities evenly betweensmall and large animals.

Staff are always trainingand learning new methods,Leuthner said.

Anderson, for example,was recently certified inVeterinary Spinal Manipu-lation Therapy which isthe equivalent of chiroprac-

tic care for large animalsand dogs.The highly-acclaimed pro-

gram has given her a moreholistic approach to largeanimal care, Leuthner said.For example, Anderson hasbeen able to use the spinalmanipulation techniques incombination with traditionaldrug therapy to treat lamenessin horses.

Pet careIn addition to the veterinary

services offered at CountryView, the clinic has training,grooming and boarding ser-vices.

Dog training classes rangefrom puppy socialization

and play groups to a several-weeks-long board and trainprogram where a dog is board-ed on-site and receives train-ing throughout the day whilethe family is on vacation.

While your dog stays withus, they will work with the

training staff daily to learnpositive behaviors and com-mands, and to regress nega-tive behaviors, the programdescription reads.

There are also agility andtracking classes, and specialprograms for shy or hyperac-tive dogs.

Country View has dogand cat boarding services including a five-star cathotel with the option formultiple rooms in theirfeline enclosure. Groomingservices range from a bathand brush to full hair cutsand pawdicures for pets.

Panthers dominate Silver EaglesOregon shuts out MononaGrove in Badger South

opener

ANTHONY IOZZOAssistant sports editor

It wasnt just the offense thatimpressed during the Oregon

High School football teams firstwin over Badger South Confer-ence rival Monona Grove since2008, but it was the defense, ledby senior lineman Jake Odegardand junior defensive back Cullen

Gahagen, that stole the show in the21-0 victory.

The host Panthers had a tallorder trying to stop two-time first-team All-Badger South senior run-ning back Toren Young and a verylarge offensive line, that averagesover 6 feet and 200 pounds, butit was obvious that Young wasntgetting the gaps he needed.

The reason for that was not onlythe defensive line winning the lineof scrimmage, but it was also thelinebackers and defensive backsreading the run and group-tacklingYoung when he did get past theD-line.

Young, who had 476 yards in thefirst two games of the season, wasstopped on a fourth-and-2 runningplay in the first quarter, and thatset the tone. Young finished withonly 77 yards on 21 carries.

Before the game when we werein the locker room, I kind of calledeverybody in, and my main focusI told them was dont overlookthis game and dont underlook thisgame. They are just another if weexecute, said Odegard, who fin-ished with two sacks and anothertackle for a loss. Our defense, thewhole time, was playing like it was0-0. I told everyone to play like it

was 0-0 until the clock ran out.The defense also made the play

that sealed the Silver Eagles fate.After senior quarterback TrentRicker (5-for-11, 70 yards) threwan interception early in the fourthquarter, the Silver Eagles had theball with a chance to get back inthe game, down 14-0 at the time.

But Gahagen stole the momen-tum right back for the Panthers,picking off the first of two passeson the night.

After the first interception, itwas apparent that it was Oregons

But senior Zach Stone

put Oregon back up in thesecond half with a goal inthe 68th minute, proving tobe the game-winner.

It was big to get the win.It was hopefully a motivat-ing, eye-opening positionto be in, head coach KevinMay said. Hopefully, wecan swing forward withthe win today and keep themomentum rolling.

Junior Erik Moller scoredthe first goal 15 secondsinto the game with an assistto senior AJ Breitbach.Brietbach later picked up agoal of his own in the 15thminute.

The Panthers (2-2-1overall) have had a toughschedule to start the season,but May said he wanted theguys to play good teams tochallenge the guys.

We are still trying tofigure out a few things andare trying to hit our stride,May said. It is not goingto get any easier for us.

One area May hopes theteam improves is in regardto the high number of pen-alty kicks that have beenawarded to the opposition

Oregon senior Sam Mueller celebrates his 59-yard touchdown inthe first quarter with teammates Friday. Mueller rushed for 100yards.

night when senior runningback Sam Mueller fumbleda handoff only to have theball bounce right back intohis arms. He then stormedpast the defense for a14-yard touchdown.

It all starts with the line,Mueller said. We workevery day about 90 percentof the time on the run atpractice. It works here. We

jus t pound the rock everytime, and we know it isgoing to work every time.

Mueller, who rushed for100 yards on six carries,also scored the first touch-down of the night. He brokeloose on a 59-yard run tothe end zone.

T h e P a n t h e r s l a t e rgrabbed a 14-0 lead in thefirst quarter when seniorrunning back Matt Yates(20 carries for 96 yards)broke through the middlefor an 8-yard touchdown.

Monona Grove juniorquarterback Mitch Kelsey(4-for-11, 49 yards) had ascary moment in the secondquarter when he was tacklednear the Oregon sideline ona running play. He landedon his leg awkwardly andwas carted off the fieldbefore being taken to thehospital.

Three other quarterbacksattempted to take his place,but the Panthers defensemade it tough on them.Senior Jake Soderholm was1-for-3 for 21 yards, while

sophomore Alec Ogdenthrew both interceptions toGahagen. Senior CarmeloCuratola was 0-for-1 andwas sacked by Odegard.

They had some keyinjuries that definitely hurtthem, but pretty much over-all, we dominated them,head coach Dan Kisslingsaid. It is a huge win, and Icant say enough about howour kids responded.

Senior running backLucas Mathews also hada decent night running theball with 11 carries for 52

yards.Oregon (3-0 overall, 1-0Badger South) looks to con-tinue the momentum intonext week with a chance tomatch the best start for theprogram since 2004. ThePanthers take on MadisonEdgewood (0-3, 0-1) at Bre-itenbach Stadium in Mid-dleton at 7 p.m.

We can play this good,but I think we can still playbetter, Odegard said. Noone is going to play perfect,but we can get closer to per-fect next week and everyweek after that.

But until then, Oregon isgoing to cherish one of the

biggest wins under Kissling.We needed something

like this. Our guys believedin the game plan. They gotbetter, and as they believedit more and more, they justcame to play, Kisslingsaid. Once we get confi-dence, I think we are a real-ly good football team.

better long-term fit.Whalers president Ben Kluesner,

part of an ownership group thatincludes Oregonian Ben Cowan, toldthe Observer this week the Whalersare a gritty, competitive bunch, inpart because Tier 3 players are lessheralded than the Tier 1 colleaguesplaying on teams like the MadisonCapitols of the USHL (U.S. HockeyLeague). While those top-tier playershave a better shot of playing Division1 hockey and having a shot at the pros,its all the same goal when they get onthe ice.

All the kids in junior hockey aretrying to do the same thing go playhockey in college, Kluesner said.And every hockey player at that agelevel thinks theyre going to play in theNHL some day.

With a long schedule that runsthrough March 12, playing teams incities like Chicago, La Crosse, Roch-ester and Peoria, the Whalers are rep-resenting the state and theyre doingso in a small village with a big hockeycore.

Local connectionsWhen Kluesner and his ownership

group bought the Davenport, Iowa-based Quad City Junior Flames inspring 2013, and later received permis-sion to relocate to Wisconsin, Oregonwas already in the back of his mind asa possible destination. Kluesner and

his family had already visited the areaquite often, as his son had been tutoredby Oregon resident and noted goaliecoach Larry Clemens.

My son would come up and playand work out with Larry and the goal-ies, and all summer, hed stay Sundaynight to Tuesday or Wednesday night,Kluesner said. We just love the com-munity there and the ice arena, andtheyve treated us very well.
