Stoughton Area School District
Board makes final offer to SEA

Votes to declare impasse on
teacher contracts
Scott De Laruelle
Unified Newspaper Group
School board members declared an

impasse in negotiations with the Stoughton Education Association for 2015-16
contracts Monday night and made a final
settlement offer after months of disagreement on teacher compensation.

Board members voted 5-3 on three items
Monday night offering the SEA a base
wage increase of 1.62 percent per full-time
employee, declaring an impasse in contract negotiations for this school year and
approving an employee relations committee recommendation on supplemental pay.
The board split into two camps on all three
votes, with president Liz Menzer, vicepresident Donna Tarpinian and members
Brett Schumacher, Scott Dirks and Bev

Fergus supporting the resolutions and
members Wanda Grasse, Yolibeth Fitzgibbon and Allison Sorg voting in opposition.
Board member Joe Freye, who has voted
in the past to support the SEA, was not at
Monday nights meeting.
Dirks said after district officials had two
very lengthy meetings with SEA negotiators, it certainly was the consensus of
those involved in the discussions that further discussion wasnt going to result in
anything different.
Thats why were at an impasse, he
said.
The supplemental pay, which Menzer
said should start appearing as pay raises
in the next staff paychecks, offers no supplemental pay to 2015-16 new hires and a
range of $1,063 to $1,600 for other teachers. Some teachers and district officials
have been at odds over supplemental pay

Stoughton Vietnam
vet honored Monday
Scott De Laruelle
In the mid-1960s, when

Don Heiliger sat on a
lonely South Korean runway with just his thoughts
and his nuclear-armed jet
fighter, he had plenty of
time to think about never
returning home.
A few years later, those
thoughts turned into a
haunting possibility during six years in captivity
as a P.O.W. in North Vietnams infamous Hanoi
Hilton.
On Monday, the longtime Stoughton area
resident and former Dane

County Board member
was honored by
Gov. Scott
Walker,
Stoughton Mayor
D o n n a
Olson and
Heiliger, during his o f f i c i a l s
active service days f r o m t h e
Wisconsin
Department of Veterans
Affairs during Don Heiliger Day at Stoughton
VFW Post 328. The event
was a part of a department
initiative to honor Vietnam veterans during the
50th Commemoration of
the conflict.

Stoughton Hospital CEO Terry Brennys announcement last Thursday that the hospital broke ground
on a $13.2 million project to renovate and expand the hospitals emergency room and urgent care
facility. The work is being done by Janesville contractor J.P. Cullen and is expected to be completed
in early 2017.

Bill Livick
Stoughton Hospital
CEO and president Terry
Brenny announced last
week that construction has
begun on a $13.2 million
renovation and expansion
project that he anticipates
being completed in early
2017.
The hospital hired
Janesville-based contractor J.P. Cullen to renovate
and expand the Emergency
Department, Urgent Care
and a new laboratory.
Other improvements will
include expanding outpatient day surgery facilities
and physician specialist
clinic space, which will be
located in the ER/Urgent
Care area.
Brenny told the Courier
Hub earlier this year that
the hospital has outgrown
the facilitys current space
and layout. When the hospitals Emergency Department was constructed in
the mid-1990s, the hospital
He announced that the

Bryant Foundation has
given the project a gift of
$1 million, and the Wahlin Family Foundation has
contributed $100,000.
In July, the hospital
completed reconstructing
its main entrance, a project
that increased the elevation of the street leading to
the entrance by more than
five feet and reduced the
elevation of a hill by the
entrance and the emergency room garage by almost
two feet.
The entrance work, combined with reconfiguring
parking areas and discontinuing Ridge Street and
the top of Church Street as
public thoroughfares, completed a year-and-a-half of
construction in front of the
hospital.
The work corrected
some of the slopes to make
the area more uniform,
helping to alleviate runoff
water in the winter months
that caused hazardous
icy spots for visitors and
employees.
Construction of the
new entrance cost nearly
$350,000, began in early
May and was completed in
mid-July.
was averaging 8,000 visits a year to its emergency

room and Urgent Care. It
now has about 20,000 visits a year, Brenny said.
Our current facilities
simply werent designed
for the nearly 20,000 annual visits we see each year,
he said during a groundbreaking ceremony at the
hospital last Thursday,
Oct. 29.
Other aspects of the
project that will directly
impact care include having all private rooms, making improvements to the
lab and Ambulatory Infusion Center, and adding
more space for day surgery and clinical offices
for physicians and visiting specialists, as well as
another ambulance bay,
Brenny said.
The Stoughton Hospital
Foundation has launched
a fundraising campaign
Life.Giving.Care with a
goal of raising $2 million
toward the project cost. The
capital campaign is being
led by co-chairs Bill Mansfield and Peter Sveum.
Sveum said last week the
effort has already garnered
$1.2 million and will continue through spring 2016.
Felonies include
alcohol, attacking
police
Jacob Bielanski
Drinking and threatening

police officers has earned a
Stoughton man two years in
prison.
Robert Crapp, 51, was
convicted Oct. 20 in the
Dane County Circuit Court
for a fifth-offense operating with a prohibited
alcohol concentration. He
face additional charges
of attacking a police officer during an earlier OWI
arrest. In that case, officers
allege he growled and
kick at their knees while
awaiting an alcohol blood
test for which he refused to
give consent.
The terms of his release
from those charges stipulated that
Crapp have
no alcohol
in his system and,
additionally,
not visit any
business
who priCrapp
mary purpose is the
sale of alcohol. During his
release, he was pulled over
for doing approximately 20
miles over the speed limit
on Hwy. 51 near McFarland and admitted to having a few drinks. He told
the arresting officer at the
time that he was probably
screwed.
After serving his prison
term, Crapp will spend
three years under state
supervision. He will have

his licensed revoked for
three years, and for three
years after having his
license re-instated, he must
have an ignition interlock
device installed. These
devices prevent the vehicle
from starting until the operator blows cleanly into an
alcohol breath analyzer.
Crapp was additionally
found guilty of battery to a
police officer and a misdemeanor 3rd-offense OWI.
The judge ruled that he was
eligible for the Substance
Abuse Program.
Prosecutors asked to dismiss felony charges of bail
jumping, as well as a misdemeanor charge of operating with a revoked license.
In addition to his sentence,
Crapp was also fined
$1,569 by the court.

Halloween decorations went too far

Last night I took my children to
visit my father who is living in a
nursing facility in your beautiful
town. We had a very nice visit and
always look forward to visiting
Stoughton.
Unfortunately on our way home
we passed a house that had a yard
full of disturbing and horrifying
Halloween decorations, that my two
and four-year-old saw, especially
because it was lit up with colorful
lights to attract peoples view.
I would have pulled over and
politely talked with the property
owners if my childrens wouldnt
have been exposed more to their
inappropriate decor.
Since seeing this, I have been
wondering why you allow this type
of things to be displayed in your

community for unsuspecting little
children to see? Science is clear
about how gore and these things
psychology affect a childs neurological development.
What are you saying as a town
when you allow these things to be
displayed for the next generation of
Stoughton residents? Movies and
video games have ratings to warn
parents of age appropriate viewing.
Why is it okay for your town to
publicly display the same things
with no warnings to unsuspecting families? I hope in the future
this will be something you will
change. What about childrens
rights?

Correcting grammar was unneeded

I have just finished reading
SUM to hold first big fundraiser on page 7 of the Oct. 29
edition of the Hub and as an
erstwhile newspaper reporter and
copy editor, I want to register
my disappointment at the Hubs
holier-than-thou correction of an
interviewees verbal grammar.
I restate the articles 11th paragraph: ... Once they decide to
ask for help, they do not know
who(m) to turn to for assistance.
Seriously the copy editor saw fit
to insert a parenthesized m after
the interviewees who?
The interviewee can be swiftly
forgiven for using the subject pronoun in conversation rather than the
object pronoun the Hubs copyediting policy, however, which

seems designed only to belittle the
interviewee and to flaunt the newspapers command of English grammar, is a different matter. Especially
since a cursory reread of the article
turned up no fewer than 11 errors in
editorial grammar/style/clarity
The next time the Hub entertains such pedantry as insertion
of a parenthetical m following
an interviewees colloquial use of
who instead of the Kings English-prescribed whom, would
that the Hub endeavor first to
scrub the numerous imperfections
from its own copy.

Thanks, SHS, for helping us host 8-man event

My name is Cory Anderson, and I am the athletic director at Prairie Farm. We are a small farming community, and our high school enrollment is
right around 100 students. We have been fortunate
enough to have a strong eight-man football program the past four years.
Last spring, I got a call from the eight-man state
champions from Lawrence, Mich. It worked out
that we had the same week open, and we decided
to set up a game. We decided that the Madison area
would be a great place to meet.
After about two months of trying to find a place
to play, many phone calls and emails later I got the
email I was looking for. Mr. Mel Dow, the athletic/
activities director from Stoughton High School,
emailed and told me to give him a call. I told him that
we were looking for a place to host a game for us: It
would be the Wisconsin eight-man Jamboree Champions vs. the Michigan eight-man State Champions.
The next words out of his mouth knocked me on
my heels! He said, We can do it, what do you need
us to do? He was excited to help provide a group

of kids from separate states a great opportunity that
most peers will never experience, the opportunity
to play the best from another state.
Two strong football programs played four quarters of hard-nosed football and represented their
schools and communities with great pride! After
talking with Eric Adams, the athletic director from
the Lawrence, Mich., administration, and coaching staff from both schools, they all agree that the
Stoughton District provided a great experience for
our student athletes.
The School District and Community of Prairie Farm would like to thank the community of
Stoughton for making this possible and hosting
an event that we will be talking about for years to
come!

Stroll down memory lane
at the chamber singers
fall concert
The Stoughton Chamber Singers, under the direction of John
Beutel, will present their fall
concert at 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov.
12 and Friday, Nov. 13 in the
Stoughton Village Players Theatre, 255 E. Main Street.
The concerts theme, Gershwin and Friends, aims to highlight 20th century composer
George Gershwin and his brother
Ira, a lyricist. The Gershwins
blended popular songs and classical traditions, writing familiar songs such as Embraceable
You, Ive Got Rhythm and
Someone To Watch Over Me,
and were among the great American (musical) geniuses of the
century, Beutel said.
In addition to works from the
Gershwins, the concert will feature more popular music from the
1920s through the 1940s taken
from The American Songbook,
a collection of prominent composers from that time period.
Weve never done a whole
concert devoted to that time of
music, Beutel said. It was a
change of pace and just in keeping with our mission statement of
doing a wide variety of music for
the singers and the audience.

David Bromberg
David Bromberg, the
Godfather of Americana,
is coming to Stoughton
Friday, Nov. 13, with his
quintet in a show that will
demonstrate the results of a
lifetime at the highest level
of American music.
A virtuoso on guitar,
mandolin, fiddle and other
stringed instruments, Bromberg was a folk-rock mainstay through the 1970s. He
was one of the music businesss most in-demand session players and performed
on three of Bob Dylans
albums, as well as hundreds
of others over the course of
his career.
Bromberg retired from
performing in the mid1980s and enrolled in the
Kenneth Warren School of
Violin Making in Chicago.
Around 2000, he opened
David Bromberg Fine Violins in Wilmington, Delaware.
But his passion for music
Western KoshKonong Lutheran ChurCh
never subsided, and by

2006 he was back in the
studio making another
album, Try Me One More
Time. The album, Brombergs first since 1990, was
nominated for a Grammy as
the Best Traditional Folk
Album.
He returned to the studio in 2013 to make his
13th album under his own
name. Only Slightly Mad
enlisted the help of the late
Levon Helms former studio and touring musicians.
On his website, Bromberg says as a kid, he listened to rock n roll and
whatever else was on the
radio. I discovered Pete
Seeger and The Weavers
and, through them, Reverend Gary Davis. I then discovered Big Bill Broonzy,
who led me to Muddy
Waters and the Chicago
blues. This was more or
less the same time I discovered Flatt and Scruggs,
which led to Bill Monroe
and Doc Watson.

vehicle for a trove of angstridden songs he wrote in high
school, explained the bands
cellist, Peter Thomson, in a
telephone interview.
He was in a rebellious state
and needed space to find who
he was, said Thomas, whos
also a cellist with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra.
His outlet was music.
Im Not A Pilot released
a self-produced EP in 2009
followed by a full studio
album in November 2010,
Need for Rocket Fuel.
The album is the bands
best-seller so far and gained
the attention of the music
industry in Milwaukee and
beyond for the explosive
rolls and crashes of Steve
Vorass drums and lush textures of piano and cello.
Critics have lauded Glatzels dark lyrical content
and warm vocal melodies,
as well as the bands unique
sound.
The band released a second EP in November 2013

and a full-length album,
Im Not A Pilot Live, in
June 2014. The live album
was recorded with accompaniment by the Milwaukee
Youth Symphony Orchestra.
Thomas said the bands
unusual instrumentation
wasnt by design, but may
have been influenced by one
of Glatzels favorite artists,
Sufjan Stevens.
Mark really liked the
instrumentation, how it
wasnt your typical bass guitar, lead guitar, drums and
singer, Thomas observed.
He liked the sound of
strings, and thats why he
asked me to come and join.
We never really intended
to be a guitar-less band,
Thomas added. It ended up
being that way because of our
instrumentation and because
I kind of play hard stuff that
can sound like a guitar player.
Its the instrumentation that
makes us unique and has garnered us a bunch of different
awards and attention.
Im Not A Pilot was voted
Best Rock Band in Milwaukees Shepherd Express in
2010, 2011 and 2013. In
2014, it was nominated for
Band of the Year 2012 at
the Wisconsin Area Music
Awards.

recordings of performances
recorded at Big Top Chautauqua, near Bayfield. Perry
and the Long Beds have
performed there a few times
and last year released a live
album from one of their
shows.
The bands music falls
somewhere between country
and indie folk rock. Perry
said hell bring along a couple of accomplished musician friends Molly O on
fiddle and Andy Dee on lap
steel guitar to fill out the
bands sound.
Perry is modest and selfdeprecating about his skills
as a musician. He credits his
band for the groups success.
I play guitar with all
the finesse of a man cutting brush, he said. Its an
insult to guitar players to say
thats what I do.
While Im not the greatest guitar player in the world,
I have a great little band and
Im just really fortunate to
have access to good musicians, he added. Weve
become friends, and so much
of what I do is solo work. I
write alone; I go on book
tours alone, so its fun to
have friends around to play
music.

Michael Perry is well

established as a Wisconsin
author, but his music career
isnt as widely known.
For the past decade, Perry
has been leader of the Long
Beds. Hes the groups chief
vocalist and songwriter, and
along with his three band
members has released a trio
of albums in the past 10
years.
Perry and his band will
make their first appearance at
the Stoughton Opera House
tonight in a show that he
promises will be spontaneous while featuring storytelling and humor along with the
songs.
In a telephone interview,
Perry said the band performs
only 10 to 20 shows per year,
depending on his writing and
book-touring schedule. But
hes excited to bring his band
to the Opera House, where
hes appeared several times
to talk about his writing.
I cant tell you how much
Im looking forward to the
show in Stoughton because
I love that theater, Perry
said. Its such a great venue.
Ive had so many wonderful
shows there, and now I get
to share an evening with my
friends on stage.
Like his prose work, Perrys songs often have a comical bent thats drawn from
real-life experiences living
on a farm in western Wisconsin. He bills himself as an
author, humorist and amateur
pig farmer.
A few years ago, Perry
became the host of Tent
Show Radio, a weekly program on Wisconsin Public Radio that features live

Christians believe a lot of things

which many non-Christians find incredible, starting with the fact that God
became man in the form of Jesus. That
an all-powerful, all-knowing God would
take the form of a human being is a
stumbling block for many. Christians
also believe that Jesus was perfect,
never sinning during his thirty-plus
years here on earth. At the end of this
sojourn, Jesus allowed himself to be
executed, and after dying, and being
dead for three days, we believe that he
rose from the dead and that he walked
and talked and ate with his followers for
a brief time before ascending bodily to
heaven. Christians believe that God then
sent the Holy Spirit to minister to us,
and literally to enter into us. We believe
that God is inside of us because we hear
the still small voice of conscience, and
believe that this is the voice of God. And
we believe that we are guided by that
voice, the Holy Spirit. Sometimes our
faith is troubled by these things. They
are indeed incredible in the literal sense
that they can be hard to believe. But
perhaps we believe them because we
have Gods spirit within us. And perhaps that spirit within us is what makes
us enthusiastic about these incredible
things, and perhaps they ring true to
us because they are true to our inmost
being.

Sophomore Maddie Kooima finished

a team-best fourth place Saturday at the
Badger South Conference swimming meet
in Stoughton.
Kooima touched the wall of the 200-yard
individual medley in 2 minutes, 21.99 seconds, finishing behind only Madison Edgewood senior Maggie McNeil (2:15.87),
Milton junior Olivia DeRemer (2:20.14)
and McFarland junior Emma Linaberry
(2:21.64).
Kooima added a seventh-place finish in
the 100 backstroke with a time of 1:05.18.
Maddie was happy to be on the podium
and proud to be representing Stoughton,
What: WIAA Division 1 sectionals

When: 1 p.m. Saturday
Where: Middleton High School
head coach Katie Liebmann said. We
were pleased with her performance at conference, since she wasnt fully tapered yet.
Were really looking forward to sectionals.
Stoughtons only other varsity trip to the
podium came via the 400 free relay team
of Kooima, junior Ashley Foss, freshman
Sophia Thompson and senior Sophie Pitney with a sixth-place time of 4:00.84.
The Vikings finished second-to-last out
of the eight teams competing with 138
points 10 ahead of Fort Atkinson.
Madison Edgewood, ranked No. 1 in

Division 2, took home top honors, 128
points ahead of second-ranked McFarland
519-391. Monona Grove (326) rounded out
the top three.
Stoughtons JV team finished fifth overall with 224 points, thanks in part to junior
Bella Lenz taking fourth in the 100 breaststroke and sophomore Amira Castillos
finishing fifth in the JV 500.
The Vikings top JV relay finish came in
the 400 free where Hailey Brown, McKenzie Nisius, Amira Castillo and Erin
McCune finished fourth.
Hannah Moody, Maria Mateus de Silva,
Nisius and McCune took sixth in the 200
free relay. McCune also finished eighth in
the 100 backstroke.
The Vikings JV 200 medley Aubrey
Schleppenbach, Jessica Merzenich, Bella
Lenz and McKenzie Nisius added a seventh-place finish.

Overall, the Vikings nailed down 24
more best times with nine of the girls getting best times in both of their individual
events.
Stoughton travels to Middleton at 1 p.m.
Saturday for the WIAA Division 1 sectional where they will face the third-ranked
Cardinals and second-ranked Verona Area/
Mount Horeb. Madison West and Sun Prairie are also ranked from the sectional field.
Were surrounded by great teams at
every postseason meet we attend, Liebmann said. Thats not a bad thing or a reason to make excuses for ourselves.
Its an opportunity to look at where we
want to be and measure how far we need
to go. If you surround yourself with great
swimmers, youll become one.
Cross country
Wozniak, Kittleson finish

in top 100 at state meet
Jeremy Jones
Sports editor
Stoughton freshmen Anna Wozniak and Abby Kittleson culminated

their season together Saturday at the
WIAA Division 1 girls state cross
country tournament in Wisconsin
Rapids.
For the first time this season it was
Wozniak that crossed the 5,000 meter
course first albeit by only a few
hundredths of a second, taking 95th
place out of the states top 190 runners in 20 minutes, 29.30 seconds.
Her time was 38 seconds faster than
last weeks race at Ripp Park.
Kittleson, who sat at 88th place at
the two-mile mark, fell back to 96th
place finishing two-hundredths of a
second behind Wozniak in 20:29.32.
Her time was eight seconds faster

than at last weeks sectional meet.
Overall, I think they were very
proud of their races, Vikings head
coach Susan Zaemisch said. The
first mile was extremely fast and
miles two and three are challenging.
Zaemisch said she spent the week
leading up to state trying to prepare
her runners for the experience, yet all
the preparations cant prepare a runner for the meet.
The state cross country meet for
any runner is a little overwhelming,
Zaemisch said.This experience for
two freshmen, who have never been
seen the state meet in person, produced wide eyes and extra nerves.

It was particularly challenging for
these two as they are used to running Stoughton freshmen Abby Kittleson (88) and Anna Wozniak (89) race at the WIAA Division 1 state cross country
meet Saturday at the Ridges Golf Course in Wisconsin Rapids. Wozniak finished 95th in 20 minutes, 29.30 sec-

Emma Crowley, Haven Polich, Sam Zweck and Kelsey Taebel (pictured from left) were all named to the Academic All-State girls golf team this
season.
Students are nominated by GCAW member coaches if they have a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.25, participate in at least 75 percent of their teams varsity matches and are at least a sophomore in high school.
The Wisconsin High School Golf Coaches Association announced 307 girls from 89 high schools have been honored this year for maintaining
high academic standards in the classroom while competing in varsity golf. The average cumulative GPA of this years honorees is 3.8.
in the front of the pack.

The Division 1 race had over 190 runners,
however, who all run similar times and produced a little more contact than the girls were
used too.
The plan for the girls was the same plan that
we have used all year, Zaemisch said. The
only difference was we knew the first mile was
going to be faster than normal.
The state meet course provides a lot of challenges with the hills and speed and quality of
runners you are racing against.
Kittleson and Wozniak had not raced against
themajorityof the field, so there was no familiarcompetition.
They ran within seconds of each other and in
the final push crossed the finish line within twotenths of each other.
That showed the teamwork and effort that I
have seen all year with these two, Zaemisch
said.
Eau Claire Memorial senior Aubrey Roberts
was the only runner to break 18 minutes, covering the course in 17:49.98. Whitefish Bay Cami
Davre finished second and will return as the top
runner next year. Sun Prairie senior McKensey
Van Wie rounded out the top three.
Eleventh-ranked Eau Claire Memorial placed
its five varsity scorers in the top 57 to top thirdranked Arrowhead 117-169.
Sixth-ranked Appleton North (174) topped
seventh-ranked Sun Prairie (183) for third place.
The 15th-ranked Divine Savior Holy Angels
(193) finished fifth.
I am excited about the future, Zaemisch
said.Were already planning on how to take
this team to the next level as that is what will
need to happen to get back to the state meet.

Olson said a big initiative for next year and the
following four years will be
to invest nearly $10 million
in street improvements. The
Capital Improvement Team
has recommended increasing
the citys annual borrowing
from $1.5 million for capital
improvements to an average
of $1.8 million per year for
five years.
It averages $1.8 million
but next year its really $2.1
million, Sullivan explained.
Thats total borrowing,
mostly for streets.
Sullivan added that borrowing an additional
$300,000 annually would
increase the tax levy beginning in 2017 by about 23
cents per $1,000 of property
value, or $46 on $200,000 of
value.
Olson also proposed again
Board split
adding $50,000 to the citys

equipment reserve fund. The
city adopted a plan and has
been adding that amount
to the fund until it reaches
$500,000, which will happen
in two years.
Olsons budget would
fund about $13.25 million
worth of city services in
2016. Those services constituted 63 offers for services
in the citys annual Budgeting for Outcomes process,
which ranks suggested services as either above the
line (intended to be funded)
or below the line.
Under the mayors budget
proposal, Stoughtons total
levy for 2015 would increase
4.55 percent to $7.9 million,
a jump of $344,111 from the
year before.
The Common Council,
which has already reviewed
the budget in Committee
of the Whole sessions, will
hold a public hearing on the
budget at 7 p.m. Tuesday,
Nov. 10 in council chambers
before voting on whether to
approve the budget.

The final supplemental pay plan approved by the

school board Monday calls for the following:
No supplemental pay to 2015-16 new hires;
Teachers in "Green"* range: $1,063 minus the
base wage increase;
Teachers in "Purple"* range: $1,213 minus the
base wage increase;
Teachers in "Blue"* range: $1,406 minus the
base wage increase;
Teachers in "Orange* range: $1,600 minus the
base wage increase; and,
Teachers who opt out of teacher compensation
model placement: $1,213 minus the base wage
increase.
*The color-coded categories are part of a new
system of compensation that divides teachers
into four categories Initial Professional (green),
Collaborative Professional (purple), Innovative
Professional (Blue) and System Professional
(yellow), depending on a variety of criteria and
factors.
set by Career Ladder (the

SASD staff compensation
system), Menzer wrote.
What the board approved
last night will allow our
district to reward our educators for their great work,
live within our means and
honor the Career Ladder
framework developed by
our staff.
In an email to the Hub
on Tuesday, SEA spokesman Jack Bernfeld said
the group is disappointed
with the decision by the
majority of the board,
and said the SEAs offer
provided a fairer basis
for compensating teachers.
Their plan exacerbates an already highly
subjective and unfair compensation plan that is not

in the best interests of
students, teachers and the
community, he said.

After making a motion

which was ultimately
defeated to not declare
an impasse in negotiations
with the SEA, Grasse said
there seems to be a large
group of the teachers voting no to the districts
offer.
It feels important to
continue to negotiate, she
said. Weve already got
an unhappy workforce, we
dont want to continue to
go down that road.
In an email to the Hub
on Tuesday, Menzer
said during the past few
months, the employee
relations committee made
a good faith effort to
negotiate with SEA leadership and reach a pay
package that would be
acceptable to all stakeholders, noting that the
final offer represented
the maximum increase to
base wage allowable under
Act 10. She said Monday
nights vote continues the
boards track record of
providing educator compensation that is both fiscally responsible and very
competitive with other
Dane County school systems.
Impasses are rare for
us, but as a district, we
cannot operate outside the
legal constraints of Act 10,
and we need to follow the
compensation parameters
Supplemental pay
November 25, 2015 Great Dane Shopping News

About $10 million in new

growth in 2014 was evenly
split between residential and
commercial development,
allowing the city to increase
tax revenues by at little more
than $75,000 in its 2016
budget. That means that no
city services will be cut next
year, Olson and Sullivan told
the Hub on Monday.
In fact, an anticipated
$125,000 gain in health
insurance savings next year
due to the city changing
from a self-funded insurance
program to an HMO would
allow officials to establish
a new daytime duty crew at
the fire department and add
seasonal staff in city parks,
under the mayors proposed
budget, which will go to a
public hearing next week.
That would leave Stoughton taxpayers with a 0.9
percent increase from 2014
taxes, at an estimated $8.63
per $1,000 of assessed value. That number translates
to an increase of 8 cents per
$1,000 of assessed value,
meaning the owner of a
$200,000 property would
pay $12.96 more than last
year, for a total of $1,725.40
in city taxes.
In addition to the staffing
increases, the budget being
presented to taxpayers proposes to increase salaries for
all full- and permanent parttime employees by 1 percent
(a cost of about $48,000) and
contribute another $28,635
to the salaries of 16 employees to bring their wages up to
the minimum market rate.
The revenue generated
from new growth, coupled
with the health-care savings,
will also allow the city to
increase operating expenses,
including $80,000 more in
funding support for Stoughton EMS and adding $21,000
to the police department
overtime.
The proposal anticipates
increasing the funds the city
allocates for retiree payouts
next year by $70,000, for a
total of $120,000.
I normally budget about
$50,000 for that, Olson
explained, but weve got a
few retirements coming up.
Still, the reality of what
remains one of the lowest rates of growth in Dane
County means the city cant
fund everything department
heads have requested. Streets
superintendent Karl Manthes request for two new
employees in his department
failed to get the mayors

Veterans: Heiliger ran numerous missions as pilot, navigator of nuclear-armed jet

For Heiliger, the hard
part was not knowing how
long the war would last,
and how long he could
make it.
We all knew sometime
we would get home; I dont
think were was much question of that, he said. The
question was How long
are we going to survive
this?

Heiliger, 78, was born
in Madison, graduating
from Madison East High
School in 1954 and UWMadison in 1958, where he
was a part of the Air Force
Reserve Officers Training
Corps. And while he was
destined to be a pilot, he
said flying was the furthest
thing from his mind when
he signed up.
When I went to college you had to belong to
ROTC, he said. I didnt
like the army hats and the
navy was already set up so
I chose the Air Force. Honestly.
It took some time before
Heiligers talents were
realized in that arm of the
services, though. At first,
he failed the pilots test
before he figured out what
Air Force officials were
really after when they asked
him what he liked to do in
his spare time.
Id say, Well, I like to
listen to Beethoven symphonies, Heiliger said.
Ah, thats not what they
want. (They want) I like to
ride motorcycles.
So the next time I took
the test, I wanted to ride
motorcycles, he chuckled.
The Thunderchief
After finishing at the top
of his class as a navigator,
Heiliger began training as a
pilot, where he also rose to
the top of his class. Upon
earning his wings in 1965,
he was assigned to the 36th
and 80th Tactical Fighter
Squadrons at Yokoto Air
Base, Japan. There, he
would learn to harness the
supersonic power of the
bulky F-105 Thunderchief,
the main jet he would fly
during his career.
It was a fighter-bomber
designed to carry and
deliver a payload of
nuclear weapons to targets
either in North Korea or
southern Russia. Heiliger
said the bombs were up to
20 times the power of the
one that leveled Hiroshima
in World War II.
That was a baby compared to what I carried, he
said.
For the several years,
every other week Heiliger
would fly from Japan to
U.S. bases in South Korea,
sitting on nuke weapons,
prepared for a launch order
he hoped would never come.
Thankfully, it never did.
Once you took off, you
were on your way, you
couldnt come back, Heiliger said. If we dropped
em, there probably
wouldnt be a place to come
back. It was a one-way mission. You do the best you
can.
By the end of 1966,
though, Heiligers nuclear
watch duty was broken up
by more pressing matter
for the Air Force in nearby
Vietnam, where U.S. forces were becoming more
engaged. They needed more
pilots in the theater, and
took many from Japan and
other Pacific bases.
Heiliger still flying the
F-105 flew from a base in
Thailand, so far away that
he required in-air refueling
for every mission; which
wasnt made any easier,
considering the Thunderchiefs flew only at night.
Kind of scary, he said.
Going home
Photo by Scott De Laruelle
At his home on Lake Kegonsa Monday afternoon, Don Heiliger

shows a photo of he and his F-105 Thunderchief in action in a book
called The MiG Killers.
After 43 successful missions, Heiligers luck ran

on out May 15, 1967, when
he and a co-pilot were flying alone to bomb railroad
yards northeast of Hanoi,
the North Vietnamese capital. As they began their
bombing run, their F-105
was struck by something
fired from the ground to
this day, he doesnt know
what it was.
We were coming in on
target from the Gulf (of
Tonkin) and we could see
the radar was on us, but that
doesnt mean they hit you,
its just theyre vectoring
you, Heiliger said. All of
a sudden, about 30 seconds
before bombs away, we felt
a tug in the back of the airplane something hit us, so
I climbed.
Heiliger was also hoping to get back to open
water, where U.S Navy vessels roamed, but before he
could, the fire started by the
enemy guns had reached his
co-pilot, who had to eject
while still over North Korea
at around 19,000 feet.
About a minute later, his
cockpit in flames, Heiliger
followed, cussing all the
way; typical fighter pilot.
I was not in good
shape, he said.
Taken prisoner
The following day, Heiliger was captured, but he
was heartened to see his
co-pilot was alive, though
also in captivity.
That was good for both
of us, he said, noting he
didnt see the man again
for five years.
The aviators joined hundreds of captured U.S.
service members - mainly
pilots - in the so-called
Hanoi Hilton complex
with other P.O.W.s like Air
Force ace Robby Risner
(who, coincidentally, was
on the cover of Time Magazine this previous month)
and future U.S. Senator
and Presidential candidate
John McCain, who Heiliger didnt see much of.
(McCain) got shot down
about five months after I
did, he said. He was in
pretty bad shape when he
got shot down, and a few
people took care of him
from our side which probably brought him through.
While in captivity, the
men tried to keep track of
who was there by memorizing names. They came

up with a tapping code to
communicate, using a fiveby-five matrix of 25 letters
(C and K were considered
the same sound).
A is one-one, B is onetwo, F would be two-one
and so forth, he said.
During his first year,
Heiliger had to share a
10-by-18-foot area with
two other P.O.W.s. The
routine was a simple one,
he said.
Get up and eat and
clean up your room and
go to bed, Heiliger said.
Stay out of peoples way.
Youre supposed to be
pretty quiet, otherwise they
come in and beat you.
Heiliger said the torture applied to the prisoners by the North Vietnamese guards was very
bad when he first arrived,
and was again after an illadvised and failed escape
attempt by one of his
roommates.
Not good, he said simply of the incident and its
aftermath, in which one of
the escapees was tortured
to death. He and one of the
guys picked a night in May,
second year we were over
there, and they left and the
torture came again, bad. We
all made it through, except
for Ed Atterbury.
Heiliger said his captors
were pretty weak in general in their methods of
torture.
Im not trying to sound
brave or anything, its just
I dont think they were
very good, he said. A lot
of it was what they called
self-inflicted, because
they have you sitting on
your knees for hours and
hold up your arms on a
cement floor, and thats
hard. Of course, you had
roommates, and theyd
(check) the doors and the
windows, and if nobody
was around, you could get
off your knees for a while.
North Korean soldiers
tried a bit to brainwash
prisoners with propaganda,
but Heiliger said both sides
realized it wasnt much use.
They didnt try to convince us they had the right
system; they knew they
couldnt do that, he said.
They knew what we had
over here, and we knew
how poor they were over
here.
During Christmas of
1972, Heiliger said he and
his fellow P.O.W.s began to
think the end of the war was
near.
The camp radio (North
Korean propaganda radio
station) Voice of Vietnam, would put out something, and youd kind of
follow your news by that
as untrue as it was, he
said. We knew (peace
talks) were getting close.
Around 300 of the men
were moved to a camp
near China, and were told
they would return when the
war was over. In January
1973, the men were brought
back to Hanoi, and heard a
reading of the Paris Peace
Accords, which ended U.S.
combat in Vietnam. The
men were released on Feb.
18.
(It was) Oh, good,
were going home, and
then we walked back into
our rooms, Heiliger said.
We tried to (take it in
stride). We didnt want to
show em.
Back in the U.S., Heiliger
continued his education,
earning a Masters Degree
in Latin American Studies.
In 1975, he started training
for assignments in South
America as an attache. He
married his current wife,
Cheryl, and spent several
years in as an Air Force
attache in Uruguay and
later Chile; the senior Air
Force representative to the
country.
When you come back,
they give you a choice of
what you want to do, Heiliger explained. I wanted
to stay and get more education, because I hadnt seen
books for so long.
It was with the Embassy, so it was a lot of entertaining, Cheryl Heiliger
said with a laugh. It was
wonderful.
Shes the greatest hostess youve ever seen, Don
added.
After several years, the
couple returned to the U.S.
and spent several years
working at the Pentagon
before Heiliger served a
three-year stint as Defense
and Air Attache to Israel
before retiring as a colonel in 1985. In his military
career, he logged more than
1,000 flying hours, more
than 2,000 hours as a navigator, an impressive assortment of medals and honors,
including a Purple Heart
and Silver Star with an oak
leaf cluster.
In 1987, the couple
decided to return to Heiligers roots in Dane
County, though he stayed
active, continuing to serve
his country on State Board
of Affairs as appointee of
the governor, and also as
a Dane County Supervisor
from 1992 to 2004.
You can never truly feel
how great this country is
until you have missed it,
he said.
Don Heiliger Day

Gov. Scott Walker and Wisconsin Veterans Department secretary John Scocos visited Stoughton VFW
Post 328 Monday morning to honor Stoughton resident
and Vietnam veteran Don Heiliger for his service. Heiliger received an engraved plaque that will be displayed
at the VFW.
It was nice of him to come down to Stoughton,
Heiliger said of Walker.
In a press release, Walker cited Heiligers exceptional conduct.
Despite constant torture as a prisoner of war in
Hanoi, Colonel Heiliger remained steadfast in protecting his country and refused to comply with his captors
demands, the statement read. He did so at great personal risk, and today, we honor his bravery and unwavering devotion to the United States of America.
Wahlin donation boosts

veterans memorial
With about a year to go until its planned opening, the
Stoughton Area Veterans Memorial Park Fund received
a tremendous boost last month with a $50,000 pledge
from the Wahlin Foundation, said project spokesperson
Bud Erickson. The money will be used to fund the archway entrance to the memorial park.
According to a press release from the Stoughton Area
Veterans Memorial Park committee, the broad program
of the Wahlin Foundation is to support the charitable
needs in the general areas where the manufacturing
plants of Stoughton Trailers are located. Wahlin Foundation executive director Betsy McClimon said the goal
of the foundation is to enrich the lives and promote
opportunities in the communities where our employees
work and live.
According to a press release, Stoughton Trailers -founded in 1961 by military veteran, Don Wahlin and
his wife, Carol -- has awarded nearly $3 million to philanthropic efforts in Stoughton, Brodhead and Evansville since 1999.
Ground was broken Sept. 26 at the site, the corner of
Country Club Road and County B in Pleasant Springs.
The project goal is $800,000, and as of press time,
Erickson said the group has raised around $230,000.
The goal is to open the memorial Nov. 11, 2016.
For information about fundraising, contact Randy
Robertson at 764-5881. Donations can be made to the
Stoughton Area Veterans Memorial Park and sent to PO
Box 16, Stoughton WI, 53589.
For more information about the project, contact
Erickson at 873-5305 or visit the Legions website at
post59.org.

in those schools, said Stoughton American Legion
Post 59 member Bud Erickson.
