three area lakes and plans to tackle the

Gooze told the Observer this month that
long-distance swimming both takes her
mind off the disease and strengthens her
body. The swimming and her blog, she
said, are therapeutic and make her feel like
shes taking charge of her situation.
When you get a diagnosis like this, its

Mueller said the experience taught her to trust herself, and said if there is any
message she can give people
based on her experiences, its
to know your body. She
said that can help in early
detection of cancer, a crucial step that often means the
difference between being a
cancer survivor and being a
victim.
Dont be afraid if you
have a question or if something is different in your

and to come together to fight

The three-community
event, which she said has
been going on for nearly two
decades, has been a great way
to bring people together who
ordinarily might not connect.
They can be rivals in
things like sports or schools
and can have that kind of
excitement at the community
level, but when it comes to
something like cancer, were
all in same fight together,
she said. That has been
something that over the years
has just given me goosebumps over and over again,
knowing that people put aside
their community rivalries for
the purpose of raising money
for the American Cancer
Society and helping people
get healthy, stay healthy and
live longer, post-diagnosis.
All over, its just people coming together, and I love that.
The event will go on
regardless of bad weather,
said Ketterer, to show support
for cancer patients and survivors who have to endure far,
far greater discomfort.
We have a 13-hour event

clearly remembers those
words spoken by her physician during her treatment
for breast cancer, after being
diagnosed in 1997.
Thanks to some knowledge of disease, and a determination to be proactive
about her own health, Mueller is alive and well, and she
is glad to pass on her knowledge and experience to others who may one day need it.
Mueller is one of three
cancer survivors who will
be honored at this years
Stoughton-McFarlandOregon Relay For life this
weekend, along with Kathy
Breuchel of Stoughton and
Bill Kaether of McFarland.
Her story is a particularly
interesting one, because her
career and her assertiveness likely saved her life.
A longtime physical therapist who works in the breast
cancer program for Dean
Clinics, shes seen a lot
when it comes to diagnosing
breast cancer, encountering
many patients and watching and helping as they dealt
with its terrible effects. She
said shed often wondered
what she would do if she
was diagnosed with breast
cancer.
The frightening news was
not long in coming.
When she learned she had
malignant melanoma nearly
20 years ago, many things
went through her mind
because of her training.
What should you do a

Launchpad is an annual
statewide competition of
high school bands. A panel
of judges evaluated each
band on expression and creativity, technique and synergy. Bands received a written
evaluation as well as a private verbal critique.
Distant Cuzins, which
had made it to last years
finals as well, had competed
in Launchpads regional

to qualify for the finals last
Saturday. Considering the
quartet comprises sophomores, its prospects for the

initial construction that were

beyond his control.
In the March 2013, the
board approved almost
$68,000 TIF assistance for
Bush to build a 6,000-squarefoot restaurant with two volleyball courts. The banquet
facility was part of the TIF
contract and was to be completed by Dec. 31 this year.
The TIF help that the board
approved Monday is in addition to Bushs previous loan.
On Tuesday, Gracz told
the Observer Bush wont
receive the TIF loan until
the banquet hall is open for
business, which reduces any
financial risk to the village.
Gracz also said the board
wanted to see the entire project completed that it agreed
to more than two years ago.

The board provided the
additional money so that the
village has a banquet hall on
that side of the community,
and they still wanted to get to
that goal, Gracz said.
Bush said the new facility
would create about 20 new
jobs, along with offering an
affordable venue for receptions, reunions and parties.
He said based on current tax
revenue projections, the village would be repaid in about
five years.
He opened Headquarters in February 2014 and
employs about 60 people in
the winter and 80 in the summer months, he said.
Busler said he was alerted

to the problem right before
the band was scheduled
to perform the song, and
decided to go on with the
show rather than delay the
ceremony.

Former Oregon woman

victim of embezzlement
Nearly $200K
allegedly taken by
housecleaner with
power of attorney
Jacob Bielanski
A former Oregon resident was recently identified as the victim of nearly

$200,000 in theft as part
of an investigation by the
Stoughton Police Department.
The 83-year-old woman reportedly cried when
investigators told her of
the extent of the theft allegations against Deanna
Braaten, of Stoughton,
who is accused of embezzling the money from her
between 2010 and 2015.
Braaten is also accused
of embezzling more than
$86,000 from the Stoughton Vikings Wrestling
Club since she became the
groups treasurer in 2009.
During that investigation,
detectives uncovered evidence that she may have
also taken money from a

vulnerable adult living in
Stoughton.
Detectives said the
alleged victim told them
she could not believe
Braaten would try to get
away with stealing that
much money. The victims
sister told investigators that
the trust fund from which
Braaten allegedly embezzled which was to help
the woman with expenses
in her remaining years
would be gone by December.
According to the criminal complaint, the victim
was a resident of Oregon
until 2004, when she was
moved to an assisted living
home in Stoughton. Braaten was the womans housecleaner, and was granted
power of attorney over the
victim.
Braaten was released
after posting $5,000 in bail,
and now faces 12 felony
charges of theft in a business setting. If convicted,
she faces a maximum of 82
years and three months in
prison, and up to $175,000
in fines.

Time to thank Pettit for service

To my Oregon neighbors,
Do you know that the man
who served you well for almost
40 years has little time to be
left with his family? Do you
know that he took medical leave
because he has cancer? Do you
know he retired to put up a fight
with this awful disease?
His infraction has been dealt
with. Now it is time to say thank
you for those many years he led
our police force. There isnt a

lot of time left and it is the right
thing to do as he says goodbye
to his family and grandchildren.
Grandchildren he will not be
able to see grow up.
Thank you Chief Pettit for
watching over us all these years.

Farewell to an incredible
year as Dairy Queen
I still remember the first time
I met a Dairy Queen. I was in
fourth grade and she came into
our classroom to read us a story
about cows.
Dressed in a formal gown with
her crown and banner on, she truly looked like a queen. Everyone
in class was amazed.
I was devastated when she said
wed have to wait to be in high
school to apply. I wanted to be
Dairy Queen
right then.
But I kept that
image in my
mind, telling
myself one day
that could be
me.
Years later,
I met another
Grady
Brooklyn Dairy
Queen at an
event, and she persuaded me to
apply. After the application and
interview process, they called my
name on the crowning day, and
I was overjoyed and excited for
what the next year would entail.
My fascination with becoming
Dairy Queen wasnt just because
I love my cows. I have a huge
passion for both dairy and agriculture in its entirety. I knew a
year as Dairy Queen would give
me countless opportunities to
express my passion and help others develop theirs.
And I knew being a Dairy
Queen would allow me to spread
my knowledge of the industry
and help community members
see the impact that dairy has on
our community, county and state.
Ive gotten to do that and so
much more.
I spent the first few weeks at
other community crownings to
meet the girls I would be spending the year with, because I was
one of 13 Dairy Queens in Green

County. I was attending events
almost every weekend over the
summer, and it never seemed to
slow down until mid-winter.
I went to community festivals,
parades, fundraisers, car and tractor shows and county and state
fairs to promote the agriculture
and dairy industries. Once winter hit and the community events
were in off-season, I got to host
bingo parties at nursing homes,
give presentations in elementary
school classrooms, do grocery
store dairy promotions and even
spend a whole day at preschool.
My duties at these events
often varied; some days I walked
around with a cheese tray or a
jug of milk, while others I would
be making announcements or
getting kids excited about agriculture.
No matter the event, I was
able to practice public speaking
and collaboration with a variety
of people from all ages. Talking
with people gave me the opportunity to boast about agriculture, especially the dairy aspect,
which grew my passion more
than I ever thought was possible.
This year has been filled with
unforgettable memories and
experiences I never expected.
For one, I tried my first piece
of limburger which I hated
and then met the Limburger
Queen the next day.
In August, I somehow managed to keep control of a daycare
class while giving them a tour
of the Wisconsin State Fair. We
also attempted to take professional pictures in the middle of a
field with a herd of Brown Swiss
swarming around us, and we
climbed to the observation deck
at the Capitol during Cows on
the Concourse.
Lastly, I took my first steps

into a radio station, where I had
the opportunity to record radio
reports at three different times
during this year. And those were
just a few of the hundreds of
events.
Now that my year with the
crown has ended, I remain
grateful to have been given this
opportunity and for everyones
support. The experience gave
me more knowledge about the
dairy industry, gave me a chance
to meet the amazing people of
this community and county and
allowed me to practice leadership
and speaking skills.
On June 4, we held the Passing of the Crown ceremony at
the Brooklyn Methodist Church
where I gave my farewell speech
and had the privilege of crowning Natalie Gefke as the 20152016 Brooklyn Dairy Queen and
recognized Kajal Russell as the
runner-up.
Gefke, daughter of Robert and
Lisa Gefke, is an OHS junior
who has served as the President
of the Oregon FFA and exhibits
dairy heifers at the Stoughton
Fair each year, as well as working at Country View Vet Clinic.
Kajal, daughter of Ron and Alicia Russell, is an OHS sophomore who participates in 4-H and
exhibits beef cattle at the county
fair as well as runs on the Oregon
Girls Cross Country and Track
Teams.
Please be sure to congratulate both of these ladies on their
accomplishments.
I know Natalie will be an outstanding representative for this
community and industry. I hope
her year is as incredible as mine.
Liz Grady will be a senior this
fall at Oregon High School.

The Age of the Selfie

The term selfie, used to describe a picture one has
taken of oneself, usually with ones cell phone camera, is
loaded with insinuations of narcissistic self-centeredness,
and perhaps with good reason. The vast majority of the
pictures taken throughout the entire history of
the world have reportedly been taken in just the last
few years, with the advent of the digital camera and its
ubiquitous cousin the cell phone camera. There are now
small video cameras that mount just about anywhere and
enable their users to get footage of just about anything,
from skiing down an alpine slope to deep-sea diving,
which has added to our ability to document our lives.
But what is the point of all of this documentation? Are
our friends and families that interested in looking at all of
these pictures and videos of us or are they for our own
viewing pleasure? Or do they really just serve to certify
that we were actually at the concert or visited the Eiffel
tower? Its nice that we can so easily share pictures and
videos, but we run the risk of missing the experience
in question if we are only interested in getting the great
picture or video, and perhaps more perilous still is the
prospect that a self-absorbed generation and culture will
become even more so. We would all do well to remember
that many experiences are best experienced by just being
there and dont need to be photographed or recorded.
Christopher Simon
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit.
Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not
looking to your own interests but each of you to interests
of the others.

Shes also driven to help thats why Im out there

Shes received lots of
local support. The Firefly

held fundraisers or donated

If you ask, people are

Finally
Mary Gooze, who is living with Stage 4 metastatic breast cancer,

receives help with her wetsuit from Beth Birk of Oregon, before

About metastatic (stage IV)

breast cancer
Median survival after diagnosis is three years
All breast cancer deaths occur because of
metastasis
40,000 deaths annually, or 15 percent of all
cancer deaths nationally, since 1985
30 percent of patients diagnosed with earlierstage breast cancer develop it
About 155,000 people have been diagnosed with
MBC
Only 2 percent of breast cancer research dollars
fund metastatic breast cancer
Source: Metastatic Breast Cancer Network
Im in the middle of it, I
think, why arent people
screaming about getting
more funds to combat
this? she said.
She was initially diagnosed with breast cancer in
January 2012. She underwent nine months of treatment that involved surgery,
radiation and chemotherapy.
At the end of those nine
months, Gooze believed
she was cancer free. But
20 months later, during an
examination for hip pain,
she learned the cancer had
metastasized to her bones
and some organs.
Now the real fight had
begun, she wrote on her
website (onewomanmanylakes.net). The only words
I clearly remember my
oncologist saying is metastatic breast cancer (Stage
IV) is incurable.
She now finds it remarkable how little people know
and talk about MBC, probably because its not a story
with a happy ending.
A lot of breast cancer
organizations like to tell a
happy story of survivors,
which is wonderful, she
observed. But there are
155,000 of us who have

gone on to this disease. ...
You hear a lot about
breast cancer, but its that
next recurrence after it
metastasizes that people
dont know about.
She notes that only 2
percent of all funds that
are raised for breast cancer
research go to metastatic
breast cancer, and 30 percent of all initial breast
cancers go on to metastasize with 40,000 deaths a
year. She said the mortality
figures have been relatively static for the past three
decades.
So despite all you hear
about breast cancer, theres
been no change with metastatic breast cancer, Gooze
said. People just dont
know the facts because they
dont need to, but now Im
trying to make sure that
they do know the facts.
Local support
In addition to her blog,
7777+days (referring to
beating the record for longest survival with MBC),
Gooze has created a website to raise awareness and
educate others.

metastatic breast cancer in

June 2014, Gooze an avid
sprint runner and triathlete
for the past 20-plus years
was told by her oncologist
she could no longer run.
But she could swim. And
it was while swimming
at the Oregon community
pool that she got the idea of
the long swims as a sort of
therapy.
So in August 2014, she
and her husband, Rob,
headed to Seattle, where
one of their sons and his
spouse live.
Thats where Gooze took
her first long swim a
2.25-mile trek across Lake
Washington, with Rob paddling a kayak alongside for
safety.
It was two weeks after
my radiation treatment,
and I was very tired at that
point, she recalled. I
wasnt sure if I could do it,
but I did.
Gooze recounted how
a storm had blown in and
the lake grew choppy with
whitecaps.
I thought the worst that
can happen is Ill hang on
to a boat and have them pull
me across, she remembered. But I got in, swam
across, and when I got out I
just felt so powerful. It felt
like I can beat this disease.
I thought, I can swim and
maybe I can start spreading
the word and people will
take notice of it.
Her next swim was in
March in Arizona. In her
wetsuit, she swam just over
two miles in 58-degree
water.
When she reached the
shoreline, she found Oregonians Gail and Al Brown,
who spend winters in the
Southwest, waiting for her.
Gail had read my blog
and they showed up on the
shore, Gooze recalled. So
I had an audience of two.
In May, she swam over
two miles at a lake in Kansas City, Kansas the home
of METAvivors, an organization dedicated to raising
funds for metastatic breast
cancer research.
And so far in June, Gooze
has swum 1.8 miles in Lake
Wingra (June 2), 2.8 miles
in Lake Waubesa (June 10),
and two miles in Lake Kegonsa (June 16).
Her support has grown,
with dozens of people
either participating in the
swim or waiting on shore to
cheer and congratulate her.
On Tuesday, June 23, she
plans to swim three miles in
Lake Monona, from OlinTurville Park to Olbrich
Beach, and the following
Tuesday, June 30, Gooze
plans to swim a whopping 4.5 miles across Lake
Mendota, from Governor
Nelson State Park to the
Memorial Union.
She encourages friends
and supporters to join in
any of the swims, either
with her in the water or on
it by canoe or kayak.
I thought, I can
swim and maybe I
can start spreading
the word and people
will take notice of it.

What: D2 state final

When: 3 p.m. Saturday
It has been a goal for the

Oregon High School girls soccer team all season, and Saturdays 7-0 win over Waterford
in the WIAA Division 2 sectional final made the goal of
advancing to state for the first
time in school history a reality.
It seemed more inevitable
as the year progressed as the
Panthers (21-0-1) never lost
a game heading into regionals, with a 0-0 tie to The Prairie School the only blemish on
what has been a near-perfect
season so far.
Even after losing a two-goal
lead to DeForest (22-2) in the
sectional semifinal, the girls
never panicked and willed their
way to a goal in the final minutes to earn their third straight
trip to a sectional final.
After coming so close the
past two years dropping a D1
game to Middleton in 2013 in
a 2-0 shootout and falling in a
D2 final to Waunakee in 2014
with a 2-1 loss by an own goal
the third time proved to be
the year Oregon girls soccer
finally took the leap to the next
level.
The last two years, it was
hard. I wanted to cry with the
girls. We came in this year saying this could be it. This could
be our year, head coach Julie
Grutzner said. It is by far the
best team I have had in our
10-year program. We built for
this and conditioned for this. It
is unbelievable. This has been
something I would have loved
as a player, and now I get to
experience it as a coach with a
great group of girls. I am having a blast this year. It has been
wonderful.
The differences this season
from the past few was more
than the 16 shutouts Oregon
posted and more than just the
4.09 goals per game average.
It was more than having three
Division I recruits Jen Brien,
Kelsey Jahn and Paityn Fleming or any individual player.
The word that echoed
throughout OHS soccer was
chemistry.
The chemistry started with
our trip to the Gulf Shores.
We went with that idea that
we had to believe. We had to
believe that we can beat anyone, Grutzner said. Our confidence was up. Our scoring
was up. When you score, good
things happen. We could get
more players in, so then they
are ready should we need them
to step in and not miss a beat.
You saw out here. I played
everyone, and (Waterford) still
couldnt score.
For the girls who came so
close for two years before

good to have the fun game

just have fun with each other.
Especially since we are
the first Oregon girls soccer team going to state in

Whitefish Bay knocked

We have never been

going to be nervous come
Friday, Grutzner said. We
know what they are capable
of. We know it is going to be
a challenge. Any team that
makes it to state is going to
be good. Hopefully we can
just keep this going and see
what we can do at state.
But as before, team chemistry might be the difference
between an early exit and a

Legend at Bergamont part of home tour

Kay merges restoration
Parade of Homes
business, work will continue runs through June 28
Bill Livick
Town of Oregon resident Arlan Kay says architects never retire, but they
do sometimes merge their
business.
Thats what Kay, 74,
has done with Architect
Network Inc., the firm he
established in the mid1970s specializing in historic building restoration.
He has folded his business into one owned by the
woman he once mentored,
Kelly Thompson, and
his offices on East Dayton Street in Madison are
now home to KONTEXT
Architects, LLC.
But, he said in a nod to
Mark Twain, rumors of
his retirement are greatly
exaggerated.
Theres always another
problem to be solved,
he said in response to the
Observers question about
last weeks news release
announcing his retirement.
Kay said he does plan to
slow down. He has obligations at his home in the
Town of Oregon, but will
continue to work on projects of his choosing with
Thompson and others.
Were still going to be
working together on projects, and theres a lot of
community projects that
need help, he told the
Observer. And I seem to
have an appetite for getting
involved with them.
My work will now be
done under the name of
KONTEXT Architects, he
added, and I'm looking to
make the community even
better.
Kays work restoring
historic buildings in Dane
County and beyond is the
stuff of legend in Wisconsin architecture, and his
fingerprints seem to be just
about everywhere.
Kay (pronounced like
eye, with a K) has been a
professional architect since
the late 1960s. He was a
founder of the nonprofit
Design Coalition in 1972,
the group of associates
that rescued and restored
the historic Fess Hotel in
downtown Madison now
home of the Great Dane
Brew Pub and Restaurant.
It was Madisons first
commercial building to be
listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Design Coalition was
nonprofit, but Kay had to
make a living and founded
his own business, Arlan
Kay & Associates, a few
years later. He changed
the name to Architecture
Network in 1989 as a way
of drawing in other people
and not have it just be me,
he said.

opening of the Oregon Welcome Center in May.
The annual Parade of

Homes is a good place to
look for people ready to
build a new modern home,
to be inspired by the latest trends or to look for a
future builder.
The Legend at Bergamont is once again part of the
annual tour.
Sponsored by the Madison Area Builders Association (MABA), the twoweek event (June 13-28)
has become a Madison-area
tradition.
Regional homebuilders
showcase their building and
design talents in 33 custom
homes during the tour. The
parade shows off the latest in styles, sizes, designs,
furnishings, colors, energy
efficiency and in-home
technologies.
With the housing market improving, and interest
rates still relatively low,

Kay: Has lived in the Oregon area since 1969
have things last, he said. In
Japan they have 500-year-old
wooden buildings. Its amazing, and you can do it.
He said a key is educating
people about the economic
advantages of restoring an old
building as opposed to leveling
it.
Its not only a financial
advantage, he argues, but also
a psychological one for both
individuals and communities.
In the restoration and the
revitalization of a core neighborhood, youll find that the
neighborhood has a much better attitude about itself on the
residential end and the business end, Kay observed. If
you start knocking this down
and that down and putting in
parking lots, you end up kicking the teeth out of some of the
core elements of the neighborhood, and that is very had to
come back from.

Everything had to be new,

sleek. When I graduated from
school (in 1966), urban renewal was still going strong. You
had to fill the superhighways
faster and faster.
But the Iowa-born farm boy,
who came to Dane County
after college and moved to
rural Oregon in 1969, somehow developed a different
view of the world and its old
structures.
Part of it was just learning to
appreciate the remodeling projects he tackled as a beginning
architect, Kay explained. And
then there were the messages
he gleaned from architecture
history courses as a university
student.
I remember my professor
saying you need to understand
the history, but were not trying to teach you to design like
this, Kay recalled in a 2010
interview. And I learned what
can be termed the language of

architecture. If you look at the
language of building in 1850
and 1900, it has the language
of how the spaces were organized, how it was built and
how it was finished.
Somebody spent a lot of
time thinking about the proportions, the finishes, the spaces.
If you can learn to appreciate
it, and then exploit it and bring
that kind of building kicking
and screaming into the next
century, and give it that couple
of generations of more life, its
a thrill, he said.
But bringing the neighborhood around to your way of
thinking can be a challenge
often more so than figuring out
how to do the actual physical
restoration.
He said you can keep buildings going for centuries, noting, theyve done that in
Europe, except when they
crank up another war.
But even there, you can
