Clemency for former Green Beret sets gay rights precedent

Bill Livick
Unified Newspaper Group
Four years ago, the federal

government repealed a nearly
century-old official ban on
homosexuality in the military. And last month, U.S.
Rep. Mark Pocan announced
a bill hed introduced in Congress to help military service
members discharged as a
result of that ban to correct
their military records.
The Restore Honor to Service Members Act is intended
to honor their service to the
country, reverse their lessthan-honorable discharges
and reinstate the benefits they
earned. Its a piece of legislation that resonates deeply
with Stoughton resident Jay
Hatheway.
In fact, Hatheway might
well have played a role in
Pocan and other Democrats
drafting the bill.
A longtime history professor at Edgewood College
who has delivered several
Middle East lectures at the
Stoughton Area Senior Center, Hatheway earlier this
year became the first person
to have his other than honorable discharge for sexual
orientation reversed nearly
40 years after his court martial with the help of Pocans
office.
In February, the deputy
assistant secretary of the
U.S. Army granted Hatheway
clemency for his crime of
being gay while serving as a
Green Beret in the mid-1970s
and awarded him an honorable discharge, dated May
28, 1976.
At the time of that discharge, Hatheway had
been one of the first soldiers to challenge the

Stoughton exhibitor donates half of final fair earnings to cancer center

Kimberly Wethal
Hub Correspondent
Lauren Ace finished her last

year of showing sheep at the Dane
County Fair by commemorating
one of the people who first turned
her on to the hobby.
Lauren sold her Reserve Champion animal for $10 a pound at the
Meat Animal Sale on Thursday,
July 16, donating half of her earnings to the Carbone Cancer Center
as her way to honor her grandmother, Sandy Ace, who passed away
from cancer in May.
The idea to donate came to Lauren on her way to work one day,
and from that point she had no hesitation going through with it.
It was my final year, and I wanted to go out with a bang, Lauren
said. I thought that would be a
neat idea if I could donate half of
my earnings to the cancer center.
Her donation to Carbone Cancer
Center will be approximately $550.
Though Lauren said her love of
with farm chores and spending

quality time with her grandmother
turned into Lauren filling her summers with showing sheep at local
and county fairs all with Sandy
being a trooper and remaining by
her side in the barns and in the arena stands, encouraging her to keep
going.
Ever since I was a little kid, my
grandma was there for me in the
sheep project., Lauren said. So if
it wasnt for my grandma, I dont
know if I would have showed for
so many years. She always told me,
Keep going, keep going, Lauren.
Youre halfway there.
Shes been a fan of us for our
whole lives, Lauren added.

Her decision to donate became
Laurens secret up until final days
before the meat animal sale, where
her generosity brought her father
Jerry Ace to tears during the fair
event.
I was in the back with all of the
other people starting to sell their
animals, and I started to cry, Jerry
said. I started to think about my
mom and I got sad. I was very honored and pleased.
Jerry was touched by his
daughters donation in memory of
his mother, and said Lauren has a
big heart for wanting to do her part
with helping other cancer patients
and their families in their fight.
I think the world should be
grateful that there are kids out there
that want to help and want to support other things other than themselves, Jerry said. They know
the value of money, but it isnt all
about themselves.

A variety of decorative
options are available for
donors who would like to
be permanently recognized
in the memorial, ranging from engraved bricks
($150-$550) to the centerpiece with a bronze eagle
($90,000).
Erickson said any person who served in the U.S.
military and has lived in the
greater Stoughton area is
eligible to have his or her
name placed at the memorial. Anyone can purchase a
brick and put any inscription on they wish. So far,
the group has collected the
names of 2,600 Stoughton

Other changes that were

recommended for approval
included a roughly 2,500

City of Stoughton planning staff wrote in a memo

A group of local activists who announced last

week they had filed a lawsuit against the city for
its inclusion of Wal-Mart
Corporation in a threeparty agreement relating
to Kettle Park West has
decided to withdraw it.
Stoughton Forward treasurer Buzz Davis informed
the Hub on Tuesday that
the organization had withdrawn its lawsuit earlier in
the day.
Davis said he learned
Monday that city officials
had altered their threeparty agreement with
Wal-Mart and KPW developer Forward Development Group. At a July 6
Committee of the Whole
meeting, alders agreed to
remove part of the agreement that would have

allowed Wal-Mart to
use the citys funding to
complete off-site public
improvements leading to
the 35-acre commercial
development.
The council passed a
resolution approving the
revised agreement at its
July 14 meeting but made
no mention of removing
the language. The Hub
incorrectly reported last
week that the resolution
allowed the company to
use the funds in the event
of a developer default on
the project.
Davis group filed the
lawsuit Thursday, July 16,
in Dane County Circuit
Court. Mayor Donna Olson
told the Hub last week the
lawsuit lacks merit.

Letters to the editor
Wal-Mart wages, benefits

better than you might think
As a Wal-Mart associate, I
would like to clear up misconceptions that are commonly held
about a company that has proven
to be a very enjoyable place to
work and is very competitive in
the retail market when it comes
to wages and benefits. It has been
accused of only paying minimum
wage, only hiring part time associates and offering no benefits.
When I was hired, it was above
the minimum wage ($7.25/hr. in
Wisconsin), a policy for WalMart. On April 4, the Wal-Mart
starting wage became $9/hr. On
Feb. 1, 2016, that changes to $10/
hr. Department managers (and up)
are significantly higher.
Wal-Mart gives all associates
the opportunity to be flexible with
their hours whenever possible. I
have taken advantage of this and
have never been denied a request.
Wal-Mart posts openings to the
associates both within the Stoughton store and surrounding area.
Associates are encouraged to
pursue these opportunities if they
wish. We have experienced these
moves many times in Stoughton. Wal-Mart now has a clear
path established to achieve any
position. I am currently taking

advantage of this with a significant promotion.
A majority of Wal-Mart workers in Stoughton are in fact full
time. We also employ a number
of part time associates. Many are
current students, retirees currently
receiving Social Security benefits or those who want a second
part-time job. Wal-Mart has been
very flexible with students who
can work only on evenings and/or
weekends.
Wal-Mart has an extensive array
of benefits, including paid vacation, personal time and sick time
for all associates (both full and
part time); health insurance for all
associates; a stock purchase plan
and 401k plan, discount cards and
quarterly cash bonuses (Stoughton
has a great record here).
With all this and a great management team in Stoughton, WalMart has proven to be a great
place to work for myself and other
Stoughton area associates.

sense of humor brightened the

day of every person she ever met.
Syttende Mai got looked forward
to all year long on her corner of
Stoughton. Everybody loved Jo!
Similarly, super men like
Beaner Halverson, and Keith
Slinde always brightened my day
whenever I encountered them
with their cheerful attitude, and
expressions.
Some streets become favorites
of letter as well. For me, Madison Street represents a true cross
section of America. Theres a
fellow who comes up with some
extremely funny anecdotes. He
also knows a bit about photography. Harry, and Hester have a
little white dog. Karen has a dog
named Barney. Adrian is a young
man who will probably go far as
hes the youngest entrepreneur
Ive ever encountered. Dennis,
and Linda Ylvisaker always make
the letter carrier feel special.
Yes, Madison Street has a cross
section of people.
If I had to select my most
favorite person on Madison
Street, it would have to be Alivia
Thompson. Alivia is a little girl
who has taught me the very most
over the past 20 years. Alivia
has a diagnosed case of LennoxGastaut Syndrome. Simply put,
she is blind, cannot walk or talk,

and gets between 25-35 seizures
per day. Her mother is my dear
friend Amber Schwenn. Somehow, my life seems very simple
in comparison to the complexities, and challenges that family
faces everyday. They will move
soon to Colorado in search of
alternative treatment for Alivia.
And, certainly Madison Street
will miss them.
Years ago when I started this
profession, it seemed like the job
was just names, and addresses
going into a box. After twenty
years, the people of Stoughton
become much more. Letter carriers see the joys, the kids grow
up, the weddings, and yes, we
even see the sadness. We attempt
to do what must get done correctly. And its your realness like
the lady Viki who opens a door
for me everyday that makes it all
worthwhile.
Stoughton is a great place to
deliver the mail, and the Stoughton Post Office maintains an
excellent staff willing, and able
to respond to the needs of the
community at large.

Scott Walker needs to re-read a certain book

Scott Walker seems to think
that God is guiding his desire to
become president of the United
States.
God speaks to him.
Which god? There are many
gods referred to in books. Yahweh and Zeus and Apollo, and
Tao, and Vishnu.
Then there is the god of the
mystics that refers to the ultimate
mystery of the powers of the universe. This is the god beyond
all human language. So anyone
who understands the mind of
this god has certain problems of
credibility.
If Walker is not referring to the
mystics god, then he is referring
to one of the gods in a book.
If that is true, then he is not listening to a god, but to a book.
So he reads his book. That
book is a large and wonderful
library of human composition
and editing that deals with many
topics. Those of us who read that
same book see that the candidates
who say they have Gods approval for what they do, do not seem
to have comprehended that literature as well as they might. They
appear to read with a narrow and

sectarian mind.
So Walker, who seems to think
he understands Gods will that he
should be president, really has
only the approval of a book a
book that has a lot in it about the
care of the poor and the selfishness of the rich.
A book he seems not to have
read carefully or understood very
well.

Fur business cruel and unnecessary in todays economy

I am writing to voice my concern over North American Fur
Auctions (NAFA) located in
Stoughton (Fur Auction asks for
TIF July 13 Courier Hub).
Like many of my neighbors, I
was shocked to learn that more
mink are raised and killed in
intensive confinement in Wisconsin than any other state; apparently workers at NAFA just down
the road from me in Stoughton

handle, on average, 1,000 mink
pelts every day.
With so many quality faux-fur
options available today, killing
animals for their fur is cruel and
unnecessary.
Being the largest producer of
mink fur is certainly not something that I, as a proud Wisconsin resident, want our state to be
known for.
I think its time that companies
like NAFA stop facilitating the
unnecessary death of millions of
mink and come into the 21st century an era in which the best
businesses know what it means to
be both profitable and humane.

Envy is a Bitter Root
Perhaps nothing tears at the social

fabric like envy. Comparing ourselves
to others will invariably make us feel
either arrogant and superior or bitter and inferior. When we compare
favorably to others were likely to feel
superior and therefore risk being arrogant, while comparing unfavorably to
others is likely to make us bitter and
feel dejected. Life is not a contest, and
while it is only normal to want to know
how we did on the test relative to other
students, or how much we earn relative to our colleagues, invariably we
are not going to be at the top of every
list, or perhaps even at the top of any
list. Most of us are going to be bunched
up around the middle, and thats okay.
Envy is not only a root of bitterness
at work and in school, but often also
within families. Sibling rivalry is natural,
and competition can be a good thing,
but many families have lasting scars
from sibling rivalry that was taken too
far, and envious feelings often outlast
childhood. So put a check on your envy
by avoiding unhealthy comparisons.
Youre fine just the way you are.
Christopher Simon
For you created by innmost being;
you knit me together in my mothers
womb, I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works
are wonderful, I know that full well.

Trip of a lifetime
SHS dancers take in sights, sounds of Norway

The Stoughton Area High
School Norwegian Dancers
enjoyed a trip of a lifetime as they performed 12
times throughout a 10-day
tour of Norway last month,
including a memorable stay
at Stoughtons sister city of
Gjovik.
Angie Olstad, who
planned the tour and chaired
its committee, along with
her husband, Eric, said the
goal of the trip was to promote Stoughton as a destination, show young people
in Norway how much fun
Americans have dancing their folk dances and
to learn ways to make the
group more authentic.
Building upon the solid
foundation that the dancers
made on the 2010 Norway
tour, this years group deepened friendships and made
new ones, Olstad wrote in
a release to the Hub.
Director Staci Heimsoth
said by strengthening the
bonds between Stoughton and Norway, the group
also brought further education and sharing, as well
as some straight talk when
needed.
We now have friends
there who feel comfortable
enough to tell us when we
arent doing something correctly, she said. This will
be extremely helpful going

Home Talent League
Merchants slide into first
Stoughton take 1/2 game

lead over Utica with victory
against Albion at home
Jeremy Jones
Sports editor
Unlike the teams previous

meeting, the Stoughton Home
Talent team got on top Sunday
and held on against the Albion
Tigers, 6-4.
Merchants starter Erick Sperloen worked 8 2/3 innings before
he ran into trouble for the win
and TJ. DiPrizio and Max Fuller
each supplied a pair of RBIs.
While the Merchants forged
a valiant comeback bid en route
to a 10-9 loss July 12, it was
Stoughton that was the aggressor
early on Sunday.
The Merchants built a 6-0 lead
through five innings and then
saw themselves having to hold on
at Norse Park this time around.
Albion doesnt give up
either, Stoughton manager Dale
Seffens said. Theyre a good
team. Theres a reason they were
up in first place.
The win ended a two-game losing slide by the Merchants the
longest during Seffens tenure as
head coach and gave Albion a
third-straight loss.
Sailing through seven innings
without a problem, Sperloen gave
up a one-out double to counterpart Adam Gregory in the eighth.
Though Stoughton was able
to work out of the inning only
allowing a sacrifice fly to Josh
Eastman, it seemed to give Albion new life.
One out shy of the complete
game, Sperloen walked Jim Eastman to start the ninth and then
gave up singles to Aaron Laskowski and an RBI single to
Gregory before being pulled.
Jeremy Dunnihoo, who struggled in his start at Albion earlier
this month, got off to another
rocky start Sunday, hitting Josh
Eastman and allowing a Kyle
Johnson single to load the bases.
Kris Agnew then stepped in
the batters box representing the
game-winning run and singled
home another run to pull the
Tigers to within two, 6-4. Dunnihoo and the Merchants escaped
another further damage one batter later though as Tyler Oren
grounded to first baseman Max
Fuller, who took it himself for
the final out.
We play each other twice during the regular season and we
saw each other during the playoffs last year, DiPrizio said.

Stoughtons Simon Maurice scores in the fifth inning as the ball gets past Albion catcher Kyle Johnson. Teammate Rory Menzer looks on. The host Merchants, who
led 6-0 until the eighth, held on to win 6-4. The victory gave Stoughton a 1/2 game lead over Utica in the Southeast Section.
Both teams are capable of a

comeback, weve seen each others pitchers so many times. We
were just hoping we could get
that last out. Eventually we did.
Despite an emotionally charged
finish, the beginning was all
Merchants.
Stoughton scored once in the
home half of the fourth inning
to break a scoreless tie before
pounding Albion starter Adam
Gregory for five more runs on
five hits and a walk in the fifth.
Center fielder Tanner Klitzke,
batting ninth, got things rolling
with a single and stolen base to
leadoff the fifth. Simon Menzer
and Simon Maurice followed suit
with singles the latter of which
drove in Klitzke. A walk to
Winder Fuentes quickly loaded
the bases with no outs before an
Albion timeout.
Showing no signs of slowing
down, Fuller continued the

onslaught with a two-run single.
Two outs later Stoughton added
another run on a delayed steal
and an RBI single by DiPrizio.
Sperloen allowed four earned
runs on seven hits and five walks.
He struck out three. Dunnihoo
picked up the save, hitting a batter and giving up two hits.
Erick got the start today based
on how Jeremy threw in Albion
and because Jeremy wont be
here the next two weeks, Seffens said. It paid off for us.
Erick threw a nice game.
Despite battling a right knee
injury for the past couple weeks,
DiPrizio went 2-for-4 as the designated hitter.
T.J. saved me a little bit
today, the boys have been on me
a little bit to sit him on the bench
to let his knee get right, Seffens
said. But T.J. is a gamer and has
been petitioning to play. He came

up with two big hits today and
made me look good.
A 13-year HTL veteran,
DiPrizio acknowledged not wanting to sit out such a big game.
Its a pretty good feeling
knowing that you are still contributing, DiPrizio said. I
want to be out there playing my
spot, but Winder has been doing
a great job at short. Jake (Wenzel) wasnt here today, but Brad
(Knickmeier) did a great job at
third.
With Fuller and Alex Zacharias leaving the team soon for
college football camps and Kris
Rosholt leaving the team earlier
this season, the health of veterans
like DiPrizio will be all the more
valuable in a couple weeks.
We have such a great bench
here with a good mix of young
and veteran guys. Its something
we never had when I played for

Whitewater, DiPrizio said. I
would have had to play shortstop
like this on that team.
Stoughton and Albion entered
the day tied with identical
records. Sundays victory, however, gave the Merchants (11-3)
a 1/2 game lead over Utica (103) for first place. Utica defeated
Albion twice over the past two
weeks to setup an interesting
final two games.
I believe us and Utica are the
only two teams left that control
our own destiny, Seffens said.
Stoughton hosts Deerfield at 1
p.m. Sunday, while Utica has a
make-up game in Lake Mills on
Saturday before hosting McFarland on Sunday.

able to keep LeFave behind
him but never by less than a

Buchs continued to lead

It looked like Handeland

until he slowed coming out

allowed Evink to motor his

Handeland was not about to

As the two distanced themselves from the pack, a good

Stoughton first baseman Max Fuller tries to pick off Albion baserunner Jim Eastman in the fifth inning. Eastman was called safe, though
the Merchants worked out of the inning and didnt allow a run until the eighth inning en route to a 6-4 victory.
HTL: Merchants have two games to wrap up first place

season finale Aug. 9 at
Utica Fest. If both teams
win next week their Utica
Fest game would determine first place in the section.
Its great to have Utica
Fest potentially meaning
so much, DiPrizio said.
They have such a great
crowd there. Its going to
be a lot of fun. The atmosphere is phenomenal.
The top two teams from
the East and West Division
are in unless one of the
third-place teams on either
side have an equal or better
record and a head-to-head
win over the second-place
team from the other side.
If two teams finish the
season tied for second
place in the same division, the second playoff
spot will be based on headto-head records and then
against teams within the
division. If that doesnt
determine a tiebreaker, teams will compare
records against all playoff
teams from both divisions,
then records against first
place teams from the same
division and finally a coin
toss.
If Stoughton and Utica
ended the season tied in
first place, the top playoff seed would be decided
on head-to-head records,
records against teams
within the West Division,
records against playoff
teams from both divisions
and finally a coin flip.

If both teams in the final

Hohol: Council will decide how to fill seat in August

prepared for meetings. He
was a strong and consistent
supporter of the proposed
Kettle Park West commercial development, although
he also demonstrated a willingness to alter his position
based on changing circumstances.
In April, after a majority
of voters in his district indicated in a nonbinding referendum they didnt support
using tax increment financing for KPW, Hohol told the
council and the KPW developer he would not support a
third version of the development agreement that Forward
Development Group had
requested if it involved using
the citys TIF funding mechanism.
But he continued to back
the project, recognizing that
District 4 voters did generally
approve of the development.
Votes on
key points
with Kettle
Park West
over the past
year have often been 6-6, broken by mayoral tiebreaker.
Mayor Donna Olson told
the Courier Hub on Friday
she appreciated Hohols service to the city.
His institutional knowledge and common sense and
expertise will certainly be
missed, Olson said. Were
losing a lot with his move out
of town.
She noted that as a member
of CARPC, Hohol was able
to provide important information to the citys Planning
Commission and Common
Council.
Hohol, 45, is a plant manager for DuPont Inc. in
Madison. Hes married with
four children, and he said he
and his family had wanted
to move to a larger property

Its what weve always
wanted to do, he said. We
found a really nice place
thats exactly what we were
looking for.
He noted the family is still
in the Stoughton Area School
District, only about three
minutes away from Stoughton.
Hohol said hell miss serving the community, will
enjoy some time away from
public service and might run
for school board and the Dane
County Board of Supervisors
at some point in the future.
He told the Hub community service is something of
a family tradition. He father
was a founding member of
the fire department in the
community where Hohol
grew up outside of Green
Bay.
One of my grandparents
was a school board member,

and my great-grandparent
was a mayor, he added.
Hohol was a bit philosophical about his time in public
service.
You try to make a difference, and sometimes people
dont like what you do,
he observed. One thing
I learned is you never can
make everybody happy.
You try to do the right
thing, but youre not always
right, he added. So you
do the best you can for your
community.
Olson said theres a
number of ways to fill the
vacant council seat, and that
the council would probably
decide how it would like to
fill this vacancy at its first
meeting in August.
In recent years, the Common Council has had some
difficulty filling seats in District 4.

visibility. The plaques shall contain all
information deemed appropriate for the
landmark by the commission.
Sec. 38-39. - Rescission of landmark designation.
(a) Designation may be rescinded
upon petition to the commission and
compliance with the procedures as follows:
(1) Petitions for rescission may be
submitted to the landmarks commission
for consideration and public hearing.
(2) When considering rescission
of a landmark designation, the commission shall consider whether the
landmark or district no longer meets the
criteria for designation.
(3) The commission shall make a
recommendation to the City Council
including a report regarding whether
the landmark or district does or does
not continue to retain significance and
integrity.
(4) The Council shall make its decision only after the above procedures
have been followed.
(5) The Council shall rescind a designation only upon a finding based on
the commission recommendations that
the designated landmark or district no
longer meets the criteria in accordance
with section 38-34.
(a) If the person listed as owner of
record of a landmark site at the time of
its designation is unable to find a buyer
willing to preserve the landmark or landmark site, such person may petition the
commission for a rescission of its designation. Such petition shall contain a
statement under oath that the person
has made reasonable attempts in good
faith to find and attract such a buyer, as
well as such further information deemed
reasonably necessary by the commission for the purpose of evaluating the
petition.
(b) Following the filing of such petition, the owner and the commission
shall work together in good faith for up
to six months to try to locate a buyer
for the subject property who is willing
to comply with the designation. If at the
end of the six months no such buyer can
be found and if the owner still desires
to obtain such rescission, the commission shall rescind its designation of the
subject property.
(ca) In the event of rescission, the
commission shall notify the city clerk,
building inspector and assessor of the
rescission and shall cause the rescission to be recorded at its expense in the
county register of deeds.
(db) Following any such rescission,
the commission may not redesignate
the subject property as a landmark or
landmark site for at least five years from
the date of rescission.
Sec. 38-40. - Procedures.
(a) Before establishing any landmark or landmark site, the commission
shall hold a public hearing thereon after
giving at least ten days written notice
of such hearing and appeal procedures
to the owners and occupants of the affected premises and the owners of land
located within 200 feet of the affected
property. Notice of such hearing shall
also be published as a class 1 notice
under the statute. The commission
shall also notify the building inspector
and the public works committee of the
hearing and they may respond to the
commissions proposed designation in
writing or by appearance. At any time
after the closing of the public hearing, the commission may recommend
that the city council designate the affected property as either a landmark or
landmark site. Upon the request of any
aldermember or the owner of a landmark or landmark site, a public hearing
shall be held by the city council before
it votes on whether or not to establish
the landmark or landmark site. Notice of
such designation shall be given to the
property owner, the city clerk, building
inspector, assessor and the county register of deeds.
(b) The owner of any landmark
or landmark site may, following the
designation of the property, enter into
voluntary restrictive covenants on the
property with the commission. The
commission may assist the owner in
preparing the covenants in the interest
of preserving the landmark or landmark
site and the owner shall record such
covenant in the county register of deeds
and notify the assessor thereof.
Sec. 38-41. - Historic districts.
(a) The commission may select
geographically defined areas for recommendation for designation by the city
council as historic districts and shall
prepare, in ordinance form, an historic
preservation and land usage plan for
each such area. The designation criteria for such historic district shall be in
accordance with section 38-36. Each
historic preservation and land usage
plan shall contain specific guidelines for
development, a list of appropriate and
banned land usage and a statement of
preservation objectives within the district.
(b) The commission together with
the ordinance committee shall hold a
public hearing when considering the
plan for a historic district. Notice of the
time, place and purpose of such hearing
shall be given by publication as a class
2 notice under statute in the official city
newspaper. Such notice shall also be
sent by the city clerk to the aldermember of the aldermanic ward in which the
historic district is located as well as the
owners of record, as listed by the assessor, of property located at least in part
within the district at least ten days prior
to the date of such hearing. Following
the public hearing, the commission and
the ordinance committee shall by joint
and combined vote to recommend, reject or withhold action on the plan. The
recommendation, if any, shall be forwarded to the city council for its action.
(c) Upon receipt of such recommendation, the city council may by majority
vote either designate or reject the historic district. The city council shall hold
a public hearing prior to its vote on designation at which all interested persons
shall be given reasonable opportunity
to be heard. Designation of the historic
district shall constitute adoption of the

plan district in ordinance form prepared
for that district and direct implementation of such plan.
(d) Every person in charge of any
landmark, landmark site or improvement
or improvement parcel in a historic district shall conform to the guidelines for
development of land usage for property
within the district as well as any regulations developed under this article.
(e) Following the designation of the
historic district, the city council shall
direct the department of planning &
development staff plan commission to
modify the official zoning map to reflect
this change show the property within
the historic district as special overlay
district H.
(f) To the extent to which such is
reasonably possible, the commission
is empowered to invoke the provisions
of sections 38-36 and 38-37, giving due
consideration to the larger area of land
involved and the degree to which the
proposed change would materially affect the preservation objectives and design criteria of the historic preservation
plan as duly adopted by the city council.
Sec. 38-42. - Maintenance of improvement on landmark site or within
historic district.
Every person in charge of an improvement on a landmark site or within a
historic district shall keep in good repair
all of the exterior portions of such improvement to prevent it from becoming
damaged or falling into a state of disrepair. This section shall be in addition to
all other provisions of law relating to a
premises repair.
Sec. 38-43. Penalties for violations.
(a) Failure to perform any action required by the Ordinance or performance
of any act prohibited by the Ordinance
shall constitute a violation. Any persons
violating any provision of this ordinance shall be subject to a fine of up to
five hundred dollars ($500.00) for each
separate violation. Each and every day
during which a violation continues shall
be deemed to be a separate offense. Notice of violations shall be issued by the
building inspector.
(b) Additionally, the commission
may seek reversal of prohibited work
without regard to economic hardship.
Procedures for the reversal of prohibited work shall be outlined in a COA approved by the commission.
Sec. 38-443. - Commission records.

ORDINANCE OF THE
COMMON COUNCIL
Amending the City of Stoughton

Municipal Zoning Ordinance Sections
78-206(4)(r); 78-105(4)(b)2; 78-105(4)(c)
and Appendix C
Committee Action: Planning Commission recommend Common Council
approval 6 - 0 with the Mayor voting.
Fiscal Impact: N/A
File Number: O - 3 - 2015
Date Introduced: June 23, 2015
The Common Council of the City of
Stoughton do ordain as follows:
78-206 (4) Commercial land uses.
(r) Artisan studios and Artisan production shops.
Description: A building or portion
thereof used for the preparation, display
and sale of individually crafted artwork,
jewelry, furniture, sculpture, pottery,
leathercraft, hand-woven articles, and
related items, as either a principal use
or accessory use. A studio is used by
no more than three artists or artisans.
An artisan production shop is an artisan
studio used by more than three artists
or artisans.
1. Regulations:
a. Artisan Studio is not allowed in
the Neighborhood Office (NO) District.
ba. Facility shall provide a bufferyard with a minimum opacity of .620
along all property borders abutting
residentially zoned property (section
78-610).
2. Parking requirements: One space
per 300 square feet of gross floor area.
Adequate on-site parking is required for
all customer and employee vehicles. Not
applicable in the CB Central Business
district.
(b) Planned Business (PB) District:
1. Description and purpose: This
district is intended to permit large and
small scale commercial development
which is compatible with the desired
overall community character of the area
in general. Significant areas of landscaping are required in this district to
ensure that this effect is achieved. A
wide range of office, retail, and lodging land uses are permitted within this
district. In order to ensure a minimum of
disruption to residential development,
development within this district shall
take access from a collector or arterial
street.
Rationale: This district is intended
to provide the principal zoning district
for commercial development which occurs after the adoption of this chapter.
The standards of this district are designed to provide a clear distinction
from the Central Business District in
terms of permitted intensity of development, treatment of outdoor sales,
and required green space areas. The
desired suburban community character
of the development is attained through
the landscape surface area ratio (LSR)
requirements. Together, these requirements ensure that the desired community character is maintained as long as the
planned business district designation is
retained, regardless of how much development occurs within that area.
2. List of allowable principal land
uses: (per article II)

(c) Central Business (CB) District:
1. Description and purpose: This
district is intended to permit both large
and small scale downtown commercial development at an intensity which
provides significant incentives for infill
development, redevelopment, and the
continued economic viability of existing development. To accomplish this
effect, minimum landscape surface
ratios (LSRs) permitted in this district
are much lower than those allowed in
the Planned Business District. A wide
range of office, retail, and lodging land
uses are permitted within this district. In
order to ensure a minimum of disruption
to residential development, development within this district shall take access from a collector or arterial street.
There are Nno requirements for onsite
landscaping or parking are required in
this district. This district is strictly limited to the central city locations.
Rationale: This district is intended
to provide an alternative, primarily infill
development, designation for commercial activity to the Planned Business
(PB) District and is designed to assist in
maintaining the long-term viability of the
central city.

Hatheway: Less-than-honorable discharge leads to life of political learning

The attorney said,
Do you know that
this is one of the
most important
decisions related
to gay rights
discharges that we
have?

what got me into actually
becoming an academic historian. I was so angry at
what had taken place that I
was driven to learn a little
bit more about the politics
of discrimination, basically.
Spurious charge
Hatheway was a Special
Forces Green Beret intelligence officer commissioned through ROTC.
He had grown up for a
large part of his youth in
Iran, the son for a petroleum engineer. After
receiving his education
through ROTC, he joined
the Army to fulfill his military service obligation.
I was a jumper, and
my assignments included
among other things, ironically, missions to Iran,
where I grew up, he said.
Hatheway was a 26-yearold first lieutenant stationed
at Bad Tolz, Germany,
when, just days before his
planned discharge from the
Army in 1975, he accepted
the invitation of another GI
to stop by his room for a
drink.
The man, also gay, made
a pass, and about that time
his roommate walked in.
Hatheway said the soldier
panicked and turned both of
them in.
Hatheway was falsely
charged with sodomy, he
said, a violation of Article
125 of the Uniform Code of
Military Justice.
What ensued was months
of agony. Hatheway is
sure the military wanted to
make an example of him.
They found some people
who were willing to testify against me because I
was stupid enough to have
been caught drinking with
a GI the night before I was
leaving, he recalled. We
were convinced the military
wanted me to kill myself.
The pressure was intense.
The military attorney assigned to represent
Hatheway at his court martial felt he couldnt do it
because the case was too
explosive, he said.
Instead, the ACLU represented him and employed a
strategy of challenging the
constitutionality of the militarys ban on gays, which
they felt was discriminatory.
He recalls his attorneys
telling him they probably
were not going to win the
case, but it was part of the
organizations effort to
overturn the militarys policies relating to homosexuals.

As Charged: The
True Story of a Gay

Hatheways discharge documents
from the Army.
The ACLU saved my

life, Hatheway said. The
attorney who represented
me, Chris Coats, kept me
from going crazy.
During the five months of
the court-martial proceedings, Hatheway said he was
subjected to violence and
torture.
I was beaten up, shot at,
there were issues with psychological testing and brutalizing they stuck pins
in my head and there was
blood running down my
face and neck, he remembered. Really brutalizing
things.
In the end, although the
military attorney had wanted Hatheway incarcerated,
the court convicted him and
then dismissed him. Within
24 hours, he was on a plane
to California.
Academic life
Hatheways court-martial has been written about
extensively in books,
including his own Guilty
as Charged: The True Story
of a Gay Beret, published
in 2001.
That book and others hes
published including one
he released last year about
growing up in Iran and
others about homophobia

and Nazi Germany were
the result of the major life
change he went through as a
result of the trial.
While awaiting a decision
on his appeal, Hatheway
enrolled in school on the GI
Bill which he could access
as long as his appeal was
pending.
He used the GI Bill to
pay for a masters degree
in international relations
in German language at the
Monterey Institute in California.
A book that Hatheway
read in one of his courses
was written by the late UWMadison historian George
Mosse, a renowned scholar
best known for his studies of
Nazism.
Hatheway wrote to the
professor, telling him his
story, and Mosse suggested
Hatheway apply for a Ph.D.
program at in Madison.
He was accepted into the
program in 1979, earned a
doctorate in modern German history with an emphasis on the SS, which served
as Adolf Hitlers personal
bodyguards.
Hes now head of the History Department at Edgewood College, where hes
worked for almost 25 years.
A flippant appeal
in Pocans office, offered to

help with the application.
Hatheway printed a copy
and filled it out in ballpoint
ink, not even paying attention.
I was so flippant, he
said. If I made a mistake,
I just crossed it out. It was
very unprofessional, but I
thought Im not going to pay
attention to it.
He scribbled a few
things, mailed the application, and also sent a copy to
Pocans office.
McInnis contacted the discharge review board office
and learned it would take
about a year to get a decision.
I thought nothings going
to happen, he said.
But in February 2015,
Hatheway received a packet in the mail containing
a cover letter saying two
things were included. One
was a copy of the proceedings of the discharge review
board, and the other was a
letter of memorandum from
the Assistant Secretary of
the Army which he actually didnt get until later that
month declaring his request
had been granted in full.
I read proceedings of
the three-member discharge
review board, and it said
denied, denied, denied,
because what Hatheway
did was a crime, end of story just as I expected, he
explained.
When he finally got the
missing letter in the mail,
it stated that his discharge
is fully honorable because
what he was accused of isnt
a crime.
Francine C. Blackmon,
deputy assistant secretary
of the Army, had overruled
the Army Board, Hatheway
recounted.
Contrary to the discharge
review process and denial,
I overturn it, it said. And
while regulations prohibited
the board from actually overturning a conviction, it may
act to provide clemency as to
sentence.
After Pres. Bill Clintons

Dont Ask Dont Tell
policy of allowing gays and
lesbians in the military as
long as they didnt talk about
it was ended in September
2011, some of Hatheways
friends suggested he apply
to have his other-than-honorable discharge overturned.
Initially, he thought, why,
but then thought what the
hell? he recalled.
Its been nearly 40 years,
he figured. And the reality is, the discharge wasnt
going to affect my life one
way or the other.
He contacted Pocans
office in 2013 and asked if he
were to apply for a discharge
upgrade, can a discharge
review board do that for a
court-martial conviction?
Pocans staff thought that
was a possibility and later
sent an email to that effect.
The following year, a
friend persuaded Hatheway
to just go for it send an
application and see what
happens. So he went online
and filled out an application with the Army Board Resolution, tidal wave
for Correction of Military
After receiving official
Records, asking to have his
confirmation
that he would
discharge upgraded to honbe
receiving
an honorable
orable. Margaret McInnis,
discharge, Hatheway did a

real fast search on Google to
find out if my former attorneys were still alive, he
said.
He discovered they are
and contacted them with the
news. His ACLU attorneys
Coats and David Addlestone were surprised and
elated.
It was more meaningful for them, Hatheway
said. I contacted them, and
they said youve got to send
everything you received.
The attorneys have been
fighting to get honorable
discharges for gays discharged in other than honorable conditions since the
end of Dont Ask Dont Tell
and long before that.
Hatheways appeal is the
first that has been successful.
One of the attorneys said,
We did all this work for all
of these years, and you just
sit down and get this! he
recounted.
The attorney said, Do
you know that this is one of
the most important decisions
related to gay rights discharges that we have?
Hatheway said the attorney predicted the decision
could affect upwards of
50,000 to 60,000 people.
I was absolutely
floored, he said.
Hatheway observed that
the American Bar Association and the ACLU were
facing nightmares with all of
these discharges and how to
proceed with them.
His case appears to have
set a precedent that will
make their work easier and
more successful. He admitted that getting his discharge
changed may have opened
the floodgates for big changes relating to the law, the
military and gay rights overall. After all, it came before
the Supreme Courts decision on gay marriage.
Hatheway is quick to
point out that his court martial was not overturned nor
was he pardoned.
I was just given clemency, and the clemency then
allowed someone to give me
an honorable discharge, he
said.
Hes not sure how Pocans
proposed legislation will
affect court martials.
I dont know if this legislation will impact court martials or not, Hatheway said.
But there are ABA and
ACLU attorneys in Washington D.C. who are looking at the verbiage from my
clemency as a key to assisting all of those thousands of
GIs who have yet to get an
honorable discharge.
