Restaurateur David Heide opened Charlies on Main in October on South Main Street in the former Masons on Main location.

For the love of good food

Restaurateur Heide brings hospitality to Oregon

Bill Livick
Unified Newspaper Group

David Heide, the owner of Oregons newest restaurant, Charlies

on Main, opened the business Oct.
22 and says he treated the month of
November as a soft opening.
He wants local diners to discover
the South Main Street restaurant and
bar before marketing to bring in customers from outside the immediate
area, he told the Observer.
Heides approach offers something
of a telling detail about his attitude
toward food and the hospitality business: His emphasis is on hyper local
and affordable, whether its the diners
he serves or the producers he supports.
Thats why most of the food on his
rather tight menu is locally grown,
and its also why he spent lots of time
talking to people in and around the
village about what they want to see in
a local restaurant before opening.
Oregon is a beautiful, wonderful and amazing but small town, and
you only get one first impression in a
small town, he observed.
Along with the restaurant, Heide is
running a catering business from his
South Main Street location, as well
as an intimate subterranean space he
calls a speakeasy.

Charlies on Main
Location: 113 S. Main St., Oregon
Phone: 291-2255 (also the number
for Charlies Main Event and Catering)
Hours: 4-10 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday
Website: charliesmainevent.com
(site coming soon)
Heide believes in buying locally, so
his businesses will feature chocolate
from the Chocolate Caper, coffee from
the Firefly Coffeehouse and flowers
from Oregon Floral, he told the Oregon Village Board in September. He
said every plate of food will feature
something from an area farmer.

Giving people what they want

Heide said in talking with local
folks, he learned that 90 percent of
them liked the bar room best in the
business his restaurant has replaced,
Masons on Main.
So in planning his new ventures, he
decided to use the larger part of the
two buildings hes renting at 113 and
119 S. Main St. about 10,000 square
feet in all for special events like
wedding receptions, anniversaries and
birthdays or fundraisers, like the one

While the Oregon

School District and its
teachers came to a relatively quick agreement on
this years contracts, both
sides acknowledged some
urgency and stressed the
importance of a potential
teacher compensation plan
that could go to voters
within a year.
At its Nov. 23 meeting,
the Oregon School Board
approved contracts for
the 2015-16 school year
that will provide teachers

with a 1.62 percent raise,

the maximum allowed
for the district. Negotiations were brief, with both
sides keeping their focus
on a planned teacher compensation referendum for
Nov. 2016, during the
presidential election.
Oregon School Board
President Dan Krause told
the Observer in an email
Tuesday he was very
pleased to have a settled
contract and noted that
both sides were realistic
and accommodating.
It went very smoothly
and quickly, he said, noting that an agreement was
reached about a half-hour
into the first session.
In an email to the

Turn to School/Page 10

Village of Brooklyn

he hosted in mid-October for the Tin

Man (historic water tower) restoration
project downtown.
Heide calls that part of his new operation, Charlies Main Event, located in
the 119 S. Main St. building.
He said the catering end of his
business has increased exponentially
in the past five years and that hed
been looking for a catering kitchen.
He learned about the space on South
Main Street from Jerry and Bonnie
Thiel, who own the buildings and
are longtime customers at Lilianas
restaurant in Fitchburg, the business
Heide established eight years ago.
Heide is using the 113 S. Main St.
side, which is anchored by a handsome bar and has seating for 60, as
his restaurant and bar venue.
For a quieter, more private space,
Heide also opened Charlies Underground, a speakeasy that the Thiels
had built in the basement during their
renovation of the buildings in 2012.
Another thing Heide learned from
his research is that people here wanted really good food, but $17 was
about the highest they wanted to pay
for an entree.
Entrees at Charlies on Main run
between $14 and $17, and smaller
plates are priced between $4 and $13.

Business park
gets first tenant
Spring opening

Scott Girard
Unified Newspaper Group

More than two years

after Village of Brooklyn
officials broke ground on
a new business park, the
first plot has been sold to
a business.
Greg Stahl, who runs
BGS Designs out of rented space in the Swinehart Plumbing building in
Oregon, hopes to have his
7,500-square-foot building
open by late spring. The
Village Board approved
the sale of land to Stahl
Nov. 9.
Broker Kevin Visel,

who has been working

with the village since
early 2015 to get tenants
into the park, said the sale
is the first of a few potentially on the horizon for
the park located adjacent
to Hwy. 92.
The first one is the biggest one, Visel said. Get
something going in there.
We've got some potential
interest in more so we'll
see what happens.
Village President Pat
Hawkey, elected earlier
this year, did not return a
phone call or email Monday requesting comment.
Stahl, an Oregon resident, has had his woodworking business for
eight years and said
recently hes had to turn
away more potential jobs

We just rely on our community for their support,
Kornaus said. We have a lot
of loyal people who donate
food and do food drives and
donate money to the cause, so
its a really good giving community.

Outgrowing its space

The food pantry is also
planning to get a fundraising
campaign started through the
Oregon Community Resource
Network for a new building.
The pantry has been outgrowing its 15-year-old space at
1092 Union Road, seeing an
increase from around 60 families per month served in 2000
to 150 families in 2015.
Kornaus said that although
the ball has barely begun to
roll the process has begun
and we have a decisive wish
list of what our new pantry
will need to bring it up to common food pantry standards.
Some of these wishes
include climate control, a larger
storage area and a grocery store
setting for patrons to shop for
items they want.
Before a fundraising goal
can be set, they first need to
come up with a floor plan, rendering and cost estimate.

on the long-term project and for

Brooklyns Debilzen named

WNA communications director
Oregon High School
Class of 2003 graduate James Debilzen was
named director of communications for the Wisconsin Newspaper Association earlier this month.
Last year, he was recognized by the WNA as one
of five Future Headliners, a two-year program
that honors emerging new
leaders age 30 and under
in the news media industry.
The Wisconsin Newspaper Association has
been in my corner throughout my journalism career,
Debilzen said. Now, its
my turn to be there for the

Debilzen, a native of
Brooklyn, has worked in
a variety of journalism
positions since he started
his career as an intern at
the Milton Courier while
studying at the University
of Wisconsin-Whitewater.
He later served as editorin-chief of the Royal Purple,

Whitewaters student-run
w e e k l y

As part of her request,
Zuniga wrote that a security
guard would be on site during any event that involves
beer or wine, and specifies no alcohol would be
allowed through the customer or other vendors other than
what Zuniga provides at the
request of the customer.
The space is the former
site of the Union Sports
Club, which closed in 2014
after the village board voted
against renewing the clubs
liquor license. At the time,
village attorney Matt Dregne
presented the board with
many violations to the villages liquor policies and
other laws. Later in the year,
the club was a central piece
in a report investigating former police chief Doug Pettit
and other officers using village resources while working
there off-duty.
The banquet hall proposal
would split the space Zuniga
would rent into two smaller
event rooms, a large main
event area, offices and
locked storage space.

The Village of Oregon

Planning Commission will
review plans Dec. 3 for
a new banquet facility to
host events such as wedding receptions and birthday
parties at the former Union
Sports Club site. The discussion will follow a public
hearing on the plan to begin
the meeting.
The commission will also
welcome its new Oregon
High School student representative, Chloe Stoddard,
and discuss proposals for a
sign ordinance and a potential assisted living facility in
the Oregon Parks Neighborhood. The meeting begins at
6:30 p.m. at Village Hall.
The banquet facility, proposed by Oregon resident
Crystal Zuniga, would share
the building at 155 Braun
Road with the Madison 56ers
Soccer Club, though Zuniga
assured the commission at

the last meeting that there

would be minimal conflict
between the two entities.
It would be one of three
new banquet facilities in the
village to open in 2015 or
2016, with one now located
on South Main Street as part
of the new Charlies and
another being built next to
Headquarters on Concord
Drive.
The Thursday public hearing is for a permit to allow
Zuniga to run an unnamed
banquet company. In her
request, Zuniga mentions
birthday parties, wedding
receptions, retirement parties, corporate events and
more as potential uses for the
space.
This venue will create a competitive edge in
Oregon by becoming a true
event venue for all types of
events, Zuniga explains in
the proposal. Clients will
not have to work with multiple vendors, but can work
directly with me for all of
their event planning needs.
Zuniga cites the larger
size, flexibility and her event
planning experience as what
would set her apart from
other spaces in the Oregon
area, like the Brooklyn Community Center, the Legend at

Letter to the editor

Combating terrorism will require

fighting hopelessness, despair
Measured in todays dollars, by
conservative estimates, the cost of
the war in Iraq by 2017 (estimated by the Congressional Budget
Office at $2.7 trillion dollars) will
be at least 15 times greater than
the cost to the U.S. of the Marshall Plan to rebuild Europe after
World War II. And this doesnt
count the human costs, the loss of
life or the long term costs of caring for the injured, disabled and
traumatized veterans who will
bear the costs of the Iraq War for
the rest of their lives.
If were serious about combating terrorism, we need to counteract the extremism, hopelessness
and despair that has spawned the
rise of terrorism around the world.

Hope is the strongest antidote

for terrorism. Investments in the
Middle East, helping to rebuild
the schools, hospitals, homes
and infrastructure that have been
destroyed by war, as we did in
Europe, would do far more to stop
ISIS and terrorism than all the
drone attacks and bombs dropped
by Russia, France, Jordan and the
U.S.-led coalition forces.
Dropping bombs and killing
both terrorists and innocent civilians just breeds more terrorists. It
is an unending cycle that does not
make us or the world safer.

For Natalie Nemeckay, owner

of A Leap Above Dance studio,
this years presentation of The
Nutcracker Dream is a true family affair.
In the studios 13th year of
the show, Nemeckay directs and
appears along with her 6-yearold twin daughters, Summer and
Lacy, while her mother serves as
stage manager and her father as
house manager.
This year is super exciting for
me, because my daughters turned
6 and its the first year they get
to be in it, Nemeckay said.
Theyve been counting down for
years!
A cast of just over 120 kids

and adults perform in the show,

scheduled for 7 p.m. Saturday,
Dec. 5 and 2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 6.
Rehearsals began in September.
A condensed version of the
original Nutcracker, The Nutcracker Dream consists of four
major scenes that Nemeckay said
adhere to the traditional ballet
and Tchaikovsky's score while
still keeping things fresh and a
little more kid-friendly.

Adjustments are made to the

choreography annually, and parts
have been added to accommodate
a growing cast over the years.
Nemeckay said that shes especially excited for this years performance not only because her
daughters are joining the production as Bon Bons, but because
her first group of 3-year-olds
she taught after opening the studio are now performing as high
school seniors. Two of them have
appeared in all 12 previous runs
of the show.
Thats really special to me
Its definitely something that
I feel like kids look forward to
doing year after year, Nemeckay
said.
Tickets are $10 and are available for purchase at A Leap
Above Dance studio, 742 Market
St., or at the door.
For information, call 835-1747
or visit aleapabovedance.com.

Ask The Oregon

VETERINARIAN

ADVERTISING

Q. Why do my dogs eat poop?

Q. How do I get on this page?

A. That is a question many pet owners ask and, although it is a normal behavior in many
species, we humans find it rather offensive. Winter time is an especially popular time for
this behavior to emerge. What can you do? Picking up the yard is important and one can
feed specific supplements to pets in multi pet households to deter this behavior. Feeding
pineapple chunks and other remedies have shown some success for some pets. Avoiding
wildlife waste can be harder. It is important that your dog have regular intestinal parasite
screenings done as you dont want your pet infected with worms or other organisms, and
sometimes a determined effort on our part to look the other way is the best we can do.

A. Its simple, just call (608) 835-6677. We can fill you in on all

Spread Good News

There is something in us that seems to crave bad news.
Why do we listen with such keen interest to the news
story of the latest horrific crime or natural disaster? We
just cant seem to
resist telling everyone about our cares and woes, and
even when we know the car crash is going to be ugly,
we have to look. Rather than spreading the news about
how bad it was, maybe we should focus on the good
works of those who came to the rescue. Instead of talking about how poorly things are going, maybe it would
be better to talk about what is working. That might spur
others to follow the good example. There will always be
plenty to complain about in the world, but there is also
a lot of good news. Many parts of the world are actually
safer and less violent than in previous ages and people
are living longer than ever, but since we live in a world
of instant access to all of the worlds news its easy to
understand why people think the world is horribly violent
and unsafe. Horrific crimes and violence are newsworthy
precisely because they are relatively unusual. People
helping each other and treating others humanely is the
rule; violence is the exception. Perhaps we should spread
that good news, and encourage others to do likewise.

Boys hockey

Panthers go 2-1 to open season

Jeremy Jones
Sports editor

Oregon boys hockey opened the season by

scoring a five goals in a pair of non-conference games. The Panthers then jumped right
into the deep end of the Badger South Conference, facing defending champion and seventhranked Madison Edgewood but fell 5-0.

Oregon 5, Green Bay United 1

Dylan Ziomek recorded a hat trick to help
Oregon roll to a 5-1 shellacking of non-conference Green Bay United on Saturday.
Ziomek scored twice a little more than four
minutes apart in the second period to help the

The lead was more than enough for sophomore goalie Henry Roskos, who stopped 11 of
12 shots on goal for Oregon in the win.
Senior defenseman Brandon Michek got
the scoring started with the lone goal midway
through the first period.
Ziomek then took control of the second
period, scoring an even-strength goal at 3:30
and a power-play goal at 7:50. He capped his
hat trick with a third goal 12:39 into the third
period six minutes after Green Bays Santana Pinkert scored Uniteds lone goal.

Oregon 5, Germantown 4 (OT)

Oregon opened the season two days before Oregon sophomore goaltender Henry Roskos makes one of his 37 saves Tuesday evening as Madison Edgewood forward Blake Richter (16) tries to redirect
the puck. The Panthers dropped their Badger South Conference debut 5-0, allowing two power-play goals and a power-play goal in the loss.

Thanksgiving at home against Germantown

and won 5-4 in overtime.
Scoreless through the first period, the Panthers and Ice Bears exchanged goals over the
second and third period to eventually force
overtime.
Through the first period of that game, we
thought we had executed our game play systems fairly well, and it was just a matter of
time before some of the chances we were generating went in, head coach Mike Jochmann
said. In the second, it seemed like we started
to finally get the shots through to the net, and
we picked some nice corners and finished our
second chances in front of the net.
Once in the extra frame it didnt take Oregon long to put the game out of reach as Tyler
Damon scored his second goal of the game
three-and-a-half minutes into overtime to
secure the 5-4 victory.
Sam Hakes pressured the puck along the
far boards in overtime, and dumped it through
traffic to the front of the net where the Germantown goalie mishandled the puck. The
puck was laying behind the goalies skates and
Damon managed to hammer it in.
Damons first goal came 1:12 into
the second period to answer the goal of

Germantowns Austin Phillips 52 seconds earlier.

Phillips scored again two-and-a-half minutes later to put the Ice Bears back up and
capped his hat trick with a third-period power
play goal.
Oregon showed a lot of resiliency though,
tying and eventually taking the lead in the second period on back-to-back power-play goals
by Ian Schildgen two-and-a-half minutes
apart.
It was Dylan Ziomek who sent the game
to overtime, though, answering Phillips third
goal five minutes into the third period.
I thought we did well continuing to answer
Germantowns scoring, Jochmann said.
There was never a moment of defeat from
our guys, which was nice to see from a young
club early in the season.The back-to-back
power-play goals were huge. Those were a big
boost to the teams morale and confidence.
Roskos finished the night with 30 saves,
while Paul Perdzock had 20 for Germantown.
The Panthers looked forward to a big earlyseason test next week against Madison Edgewood.
Edgewood hasnt won a game entering the

match up, tying Verona before losing to ninthranked SPASH 2-1 and fifth-ranked Hudson
2-0.
Edgewood has had some pretty good competition so far, and everyone matches up differently, Jochmann said. Were obviously
hoping to be able to dictate the game play, and
continue our win streak.Well be focusing
on what we can control first, and getting after
them with some solid fore-checking.
If we can keep the game close, I think
we have a good shot at gaining, or keeping
a lead.Thats how our guys are driven so far
this year.

Edgewood 5, Oregon 0
Oregon dropped the puck on the Badger
South Conference schedule Tuesday inside
LaBahn Arena against defending champion
Madison Edgewood. While the Panthers were
hoping to carry over some of their momentum
from the first two games, the host Crusaders
had other ideas.
An obvious step up in competition compared to anyone the Panthers had faced so
far this season, the seventh-ranked Crusaders used their speed and special teams unit to

Boys swimming

blank the Panthers 5-0.

Compared to the first two teams we played
this season, Edgewood is obviously just a way
better team with two talented lines, Jochmann said. They beat us to loose pucks. They
worked harder than we did, moved the puck
faster and made their decisions much more
quickly.
Having beaten Edgewood once in program
history, Oregon was looking to get out to a fast
start, but it was the Crusaders that came out
fired up.
Edgewood jump out to a 1-0 lead with
a goal 48 seconds into the first period and
tacked on another less than 4 minutes into the
first period and never looked back.
We came out as if we were David and they
were Goliath, Jochmann said. We talked the
team up in the locker room before the game
and thought they would come out with more
of a spark. Once we got out on the ice, under
the lights, it just didnt happen.
Of the Crusaders five goals, three came via
their special teams, racking up two short-handed goals and a powerplay tally in the blowout.

Oregon senior David Heim and

Belleville senior Eli Rule return to
captain a talented Oregon/Belleville
boys swimming co-op for the second straight year.
They highlight a group of eight
returning letterwinners from last
seasons team.
Seeded 20th, Rule broke his
own school record in the 100-yard
breaststroke at last years WIAA
Division 1 state swimming meet. It
was the third straight week he bested his own mark, finishing more
than a second faster than his previous PR with a time of 1 minute, 6
seconds.
Rule opened the state meet with

another school record along with

Jacob Larsen, Ian Charles and
Jackson Marsden, swimming to a
14th-place finish on the 200 medley relay. The quartet broke their
own benchmark for the sixth time
last season and third week straight,
posting a .17 PR in 1:40.73.
Larsen followed up the medley
relay, scoring a point in the 200
free with his 16th-place finish with
a time of 1:47.6. He later missed
scoring points by two spots in the
100 butterfly, taking 18th place in a
personal-best 53.47.
Seniors Ryan Wood (distance
freestyler), Joe Schwartz (sprint
freestyler) and junior Josh Greene
(free/breast) return for what the
Panthers hope will be a deeper team
this season.

Freshman Collin Braatz and

sophomore Josh Lohmeier expect to
be key newcomers this season.
Oregon has plenty to build off of
from last season, a year in which the
Panthers ended a five year Badger
South Conference winless drought
against Madison Edgewood.
Larsen, Rule, Marsden and
Charles ended an eight-year Oregon
drought at conference last season,
tying the Badger South record in
the medley relay (1:41.40) and capturing the programs first title since
2007.
The Panthers carried the momentum over throughout the meet, adding three more individual titles on
the day.

Assistant sports editor

The Oregon High

School girls basketball
team was down three with
four seconds left when
senior Katie Uhl launched
a 3- point attempt Nov.
24 against Stoughton,
and despite missing, she
was awarded three free
throws.
Uhl, who finished with
10 points, drained all
three to send the game
into overtime, and the
host Panthers were able to
do enough to pull off the
64-62 win.
For a kid at any level
to step up and make those
... I mean they were no
doubters. That shows
how good she played and
how much confidence she
has, head coach Corey
Sielaff said.
O r e g o n a n d S t o u g hton went back- and-f orth
for much of the game.
The Panthers led 20- 18
after the first half, but the
Vikings fought back to
grab the lead in the second half.
But despite Stoughton
winning the rebound battle 42-27 and the Panthers
having 19 turnovers to the
Vikings 17, Oregon was
the team that pulled away
at the end.
Senior Cassidy Nikolai led the way with 21
points, including four
3-p ointers, while senior
Leah Koopman collected
11 points including two
3-pointers six rebounds,
three steals and a block.
Cassidy and Leah
stepped up huge. We had
to go small for a long
time, and we had our
bench step up, Sielaff
said.

Senior Morgan Yaun

added six rebounds,
and sophomore Ellen
McCorkle had a block.
Senior Kendra Halverson led Stoughton with
23 points. She was 8f or
10 from the free- throw
line and added two steals.
Senior Hannah Hobson
picked up eight points
and eight rebounds, while
junior Marissa Robson
had eight points and 14
rebounds.
Junior Payton Kahl finished with 15 points, five
rebounds and three steals,
and junior Jenna Gardner
scored five points and had
eight rebounds and three
steals.
I wasnt sure how we
would fare with them,
Sielaff said. They are
picked to win the conference and are such a good
team. It was more for us
to believe.
Oregon travels to Madison Edgewood at 7:30

Icebergs buried by early goals in Badger

Conference debut against Rock County Fury
Jeremy Jones
Sports editor

The Icebergs girls hockey

co-op dropped the puck on
the Badger Conference season Tuesday, Nov. 24 inside
Beloits Edward Ice Arena.
Despite continuing to
show signs of improvement,
the Icebergs skeleton roster
lost as the Rock County Fury
ushered in the Dave Soddy
era with an 8-1 victory.
Fury senior Alyx Richards had two goals and two
assists in the game. The
Fury had sixdifferent goal
scorers in the game four
in the first period alone as
Maggy Henschler, Richards,
Danielle Heitsman and Anne

Runde found the back of the

net to give Beloit a 4-0 lead
after one period.
The second period saw two
more goals scored asRiley
Burke and Kayla Kaufman
scored to make it 6-0.
TheIcebergs (0-4-0 overall, 0-1-0 conference) played
better in the second period,
getting on the board thanks
to Samantha Eyers. Fury
goalie Molly Gross made the
initial stop only to watch the
puck end up squeezing by
her and rolling into the net.
Icebergs center Ariah
Koratko assisted on the goal.
Richards stemmed any
possible Iceberg momentum
and pounded home a pair of
goals for the 8-1score after

twoperiods.
Both teams threatened in
the third period but could
get nothing but iron as a few
shots rang off the posts for
both teams.
McKenzie Nisius stopped
20-of-28 shots on goal for
the Icebergs, including nine
saves in the first period and
seven in the third.
Molly Gross (13) and
McKaylie Bueschler (four)
combined for 17 total saves
for the Fury.
The Icebergs host their
first game of the season on
Saturday against the conference rival Viroqua Blackhawks (0-1-0). Viroqua
finished 0-19-0 overall last
season.

Charles added a fourth-place finish in
1:53.69.
The Oregon/Belleville tandem upped
the ante in the 100 butterfly, this time
turning in a 1-2 finish in 55.46 and 55.71,
respectively.
Rule went on to garner medals for Oregon/Belleville in all four of his events,
including a third-place finish that he
admitted was surprising in the 200 IM
(2:07.54) and a conference championship in the 100 breaststroke, smashing the
school record with a time of 1:01.35.
Marsden, who entered the meet seeded

third in the 50 free, added the teams most

unexpected title, tying Monona Groves
Alex Kimmell for first in 22.57.
The quartet of Larsen, Charles, Rule
and Marsden nearly capped the meet with
a fifth conference title in the 400 free
relay only to ultimately fall eight seconds
off the pace of Monona Grove in 3:26.18.
Following a solid showing at the states
fastest sectional in Middleton, the Panthers also tied for 31st out of 35 team at
last years state meet with 14 points.
Oregon/Belleville still has a way to go
in order to compete with the conference
elites as Monona Grove, Milton and Fort
Atkinson return strong teams with a solid
core and plenty of depth.

Our special team units

kind of went along the same
lines as the rest of the game
tonight, Jochmann said. We
didnt have enough urgency
and we werent making decisions quickly enough. Were
definitely going to try and
pick up the tempo in practice
to try and emulate what Edgewood did because we know
were going to see that kind of
aggressiveness again.
Fred Richards went topshelf, hitting the crossbar and
ricocheting the puck into the
back off the net 49 seconds
into the first period.
Two minutes later Oregon
almost immediately gave
up a short-handed goal on
a lackadaisical pass in front
of its own net. Shortly after
Carter Hottmann shot a puck
through the neutral zone and
one Roskos, who mishandled
the puck as Edgewood went
up 2-0 with just 3:40 having
elapsed in the game.
Oregon continued to
struggle on the power play
in the second period. While
it looked as though the Panthers might be able to finally
get some momentum after
a 5-minute penalty was
assessed to Edgewoods Jack
Royer for boarding, it was
the Crusaders that capitalized
again, forcing Dylan Ziomek
to turn the puck over in front
of his own net.
We talked to the team after
each period about making the
smart decision, which is often

times the easiest decision,

Jochmann said. These kids
have been playing hockey
since they were 5 years-old.
They know where the safe
areas and the safe passes are.
Theyre just making things a
little more complicated than
they have too right now.
Grant Reichenbacher
picked up the puck and
promptly backhanded a goal
past Roskos.
One of the best teams in the
area on the power play, Edgewood finally scored a manadvantage goal at 15:34 from
Cale McCoshen.
Reichenbacher capped the
Crusaders scoring with an
even-strength goal from the
slot 3 minutes into the third
period.
Roskos finished the game
with 37 saves, while Edgewoods Shane Ryan stopped
all 13 shots on goal he faced.
Oregon dropped to 2-1-0
overall, 0-1-0 conference with

the loss, while Edgewood

picked up its first win going
1-2-1, 1-0-0.
We have set a bar after
each game, Jochmann said.
It took us overtime to beat
Germantown and then we
took care of Green Bay United and got a little cocky. We
talked to the guys following tonights game and said,
Look we just played a team
that is twice as good as those
other teams. We set a new
bar tonight and know where
we have to get in order to
compete with that caliber of
team.
The Panthers return to nonconference action Saturday at

Beyond the contract agreement, Johnson cited the districts Employee Handbook
and a new teacher compensation plan as topics in ongoing, informal conversations
between the OEA and Oregon
School Board.
The OEA hopes our conversations on Employee
Handbook and other issues
continue to be productive,
as this is where real action
on maintaining and improving positive learning environments really happens,
he wrote. All parties also
remain laser-focused on creating a new compensation
system which will provide
educators in Oregon a clear
path as to how their experience and contributions will
lead to increased compensation.

To help make the district
more competitive in attracting and retaining the best

that took several months less

to complete than the previous one. The contract for
the 2014-15 school year was
approved in February 2015,
while the 2013-14 contract
wasnt approved until June
2014, in the waning weeks of
that school year.
After it took nearly the
entire 2013-14 school year
to reach a deal between the
Oregon School District and
teachers, Krause said then he
wanted to break the cycle
of negotiations lasting all
year. A year-and-a-half later,
that appears to be happening,
While in theory, hed
like contracts settled before
the new school calendar
starts in July, he said that
isnt practical, since the district doesnt receive key budget information until October.
Since that is the case, we
decided to wait until after
the numbers came in before
scheduling a bargaining session, he said.

than 100 students this year

(including 50 new non-district
open enrollment students)
easily the highest increase in
the past five years Krause
cited enrollment growth in the
district creating more money
to work with than we had
originally estimated, which
meant the board was able to
offer teachers the maximum
1.62 percent raise allowed
under state law. He said this
years deal with teachers
took only about 30 minutes to
complete during the first bargaining session.
(That) was unique this
year as far as I know, he
said. We are very grateful to
the OEA and its bargaining
team for working with us to
get this completed. And, of
course, we are grateful for all
the outstanding teachers we
have in our district.
We wish we could pay
them what they deserve.

compensation referendum for

November 2016. Some board
members and administrators
had considered including it
with the $55 million building
referendums on the November 2014 ballot, but decided
it was not ready, instead targeting a larger planned voter
turnout for the fall of 2016.
Krause said because of
recent changes in state law,
the district has not had a
comprehensive teacher compensation plan since 2011.
That makes it very hard to
recruit teachers, since they are
unable to chart their expected
career progression and pay
rates, he said. In order to get
teacher compensation corrected, the school board has been
working on a comprehensive
pay scale that will bring teacher pay to a level that more
closely fits their experience
and value to the district.

ordinance changes that allow the village

president to appoint OHS students to
various village boards and commissions:
the Park Board, the Historic Preservation
Commission, the Planning Commission
and the Library Board.
Julie Maurer is the regular student
member on the Park Board and has voting rights. As the alternate, Syth will be
allowed to attend meetings but can vote
only when Maurer is absent. Students
serving on other bodies do not have

voting rights.
All appointments are made for a oneyear term and are subject to the Village
Boards approval.
Staton said each student representative will be paired up with a regular adult
member of the body as a mentor.
Also last week, the Village Board
approved a real estate agreement with
Lutheran Church Extension Fund Missouri Synod for the purchase of 1.79
acres for a new well site for $100,000.
The new well will be sited on the villages west side. There is no established
date or timeline for drilling the well.

Heide: Charlies on Main specializes in gluten-free, locally-sourced offerings
Continued from page 1
The previous high-end
restaurants that were there
couldnt make it because
theres only about 9,500 people in Oregon, and even if
they support it once a month,
thats still not enough to keep
the place going.
Thats one of the reasons
we have the bar open all the
time and why we turned what
was the dining room into an
event space. I think having
too much space in a smaller
town can actually really hurt
you, he explained.

Personal background
Heide was born and
raised in Fitchburg and has
lived there all his life with
the exception of about five
years.
He trained at Cordon
Bleu Culinary School in
Minneapolis and has about
15 years of experience in
the restaurant business. He
is the owner/operator of Lilianas restaurant in Fitchburg, which he launched on
his daughter Lilianas birthday, Nov. 1, 2007.
His operations in Oregon
are named for his 5-yearold son, Charlie.
During his time away
from Wisconsin, Heide
studied in Minnesota,
worked in some wellknown restaurants in southern California, and traveled extensively visiting
renowned eateries in the
U.S. and Europe.
In California, Heide
worked under the celebrity

A few of the items from the menu at Charlies on Main: deep-fried

cheese curds, butternut squash soup and mushroom pasta.

This is hospitality. If you dont love people

then you picked the wrong business.
David Heide
chef Gavin Kaysen, who
competed on the Food Network series The Next Iron
Chef.
After marrying and living
out of the state for several
years, Heide and his family
moved back to Dane County. He worked at a couple of
kitchens in Madison before
deciding to open Lilianas
eight years ago.
We have such a strong
farm-to-table chef movement here, he said. This
is where I wanted to open a
restaurant.

A passion for food

and people
Gregarious by nature,
Heide likes engaging people and is also passionate
about food. Thats why
he can become so excited
when talking about a menu
that changes seasonally, or
a kitchen where most things
are made by hand, or a
menu that can offer almost
everything gluten-free.
The way the menu is set
up now, the left half is stuff
thats going to be available
all the time, he explained.

Charlies on Main owner David Heide sits at the bar Saturday a few minutes before opening for business. He launched the new restaurant/bar combo in October.

Thats stuff we source

from local farmers and have
an indefinite supply of.
The right side of the
menu is going to be changing, he continued. There
is no fixed amount of time
that itll be changing, but
whenever we run out of
supplies from our farmer,
then well bring in something else from a different
farmer or the same farmer
or whatever. The idea is we
keep changing up our menu
many times throughout the

year.
Heide said hes really
proud that his new restaurant will kind of specialize in the ability to make
everything on the menu
gluten-free.
Our fryers are 100 percent gluten-free and all of
our batters are gluten-free,
he said.
That means his awardwinning cheese curds and
fish fries wont have gluten
because their batter is made
with rice flour instead of

wheat.
As passionate as he
is about the food, Heide
seems equally excited about
creating a space where people can gather and interact
around a meal or a drink.
For me, eating is a thing
of the soul, he said. Its
all about getting people
engaged and talking to each
other and not isolated.
For the most part, I
love that people are totally
engaged and theres some
community. Thats what
Oregon is all about.
Heide relayed that people often ask him why he
wanted to be a chef. His
response: Its a way to get a
physical reaction from people just by cooking something.
The reason I opened my
own restaurant is to make
people happy, he said.
That was my goal and
what I wanted to do. Theres
something soulful about
being able to watch somebody eat something youve
made and watch their eyes
close and really enjoy it.
This is hospitality, he
added. If you dont love
people then you picked the
wrong business.
