Doris Magwitz was a long time Bristol Township Treasurer and wanted these materials
to be available to people (11/2007). Her clipping efforts were diligent and provide a nice
bit of history between 1963 and 1999 in 19 scrapbooks! Thank you Doris!
She writes:
Bristol is a typical Wisconsin Township, being a six mile square municipality located in
southeastern Wisconsin. Bristol is bordered on the south by the Wisconsin-Illinois State
Li ne, on the east by 1-94, on the north by County Highway K or 60th Street, and on the
West by 216th Avenue, also known as Town Line Road.
Bristol has experienced continual growth and change.
The first land claim was made in 1835 by William Higgins on the property now at 14800
75th Street. The second claim was by Sereno Fowler on Highway 50 at MB North ( 156th
Avenue). The Fowlers were teachers from the east, so they started a private Girl's
School with Mrs. Fowler being the first female teacher in the Township. She also started
the first Library.
The first farm opened and plowed was in 1836 by Rollin Tuttle at 8001 184th Avenue. In
1837 a road was surveyed from Southport (Kenosha) to Lake Geneva and settlement
concentrated at Highway 50 and 184th Avenue known as "Jacksonville". They petitioned
for a mail route and in 1839 a post office was established in the A.B. Jackson home and
he was named Postmaster. The need for a name brought about the decision for "Bristol"
in honor of the Reverend Ira Bristol, an early settler. By 1850 log cabins were being

replaced with frame buildings, orchards were planted, schools and churches had been
built An agricultural fair was started and in 1853 the first circus in Kenosha County took
place in BristoL
The coming of the KD (Kenosha Division) Railroad in 1857 caused settlement to shift to
the depot area and what today is called the "Village of Bristol". There was a stock yard,
coal and lumber yard, Bowman Dairy, hardware store, meat market, four grocery stores,
two blacksmith shops, harness shop, general merchandise store, ladies hat store, barber
shop, pool hall and a funeral home. The post office moved to the village in 1889.
Woodworth also had a depot, Bowman Dairy, Robert's Feed and Grain, blacksmith shop
and later the U.S. Standard Products Co. (Serum Plant). The last train was taken off in
1939. Trucks had taken over the freight service with their greater flexibility and door to
door delivery. Installation of municipal sewer in 1965 and water in 1968 put the budding
Industrial park on U.S. Highway 45 in a good position to offer an ideal location to small
manufacturing companies. Today there are businesses In the 150 acre park and steps
are in process for expansion. Air service is readily available at Kenosha, Milwaukee
Mitchell or Chicago O'Hare Airports.
Sewer and water allowed nice subdivisions to spring up and flourish along with several
apartment buildings. Seer was extended to the Lake George area in 1971. A second well
was drilled in 1983 a mile north of the village on Highway 45 with piping connecting it to
well #1 thus either well can service the 100,000 gallon storage tower located in the
industrial park.
The new county highway garage and office complex at 45 and 50 will have a big effect
on future growth in that area.
The 1-94 corridor as opened up a whole new development on the east boundary of
Bristol, Hotels, outlet stores, gas stations, fast food, banks, restaurants, mini-storage and
a huge auto dealership stand on what was farm land. A third municipal well was dug
there and sewer service is contracted to Pleasant Prairie. Having three interstate
exchanges in Bristol assures continuing commercial growth in the corridor.
Doris was one of 9 children of Ernst
married Arthur Magwitz.

to take about three years and
will result in a more {:.vorable

BRISTOL - The burgeoning
industrial dcve\opm~nt of Bris·
'"to\ Tpwnship over the past sev. era\ years was highly complim~ted Thursday night by Paul
Pratt. directl)r of the Wiscl)nsm
Department of Resource De·

Pratt was the featured speak·
er at the Hro'.t annual H,ljgQl
£I.an..ning Dilll1er held at the new
Howara-To1iillion Motor Lodge
on the eastern edge of Bristol
along Hy. I-94.
Pratt, who was appointed to
his post May 1 by Governor
Warren Knowles, said he was
"tremendously impressed" with
the dev~lopment of Bristol
"I have never seen such an
operation set up anywhere in
the state. Almost everyone in
the community is involved in
the continuing effort~ to obtain
industries for the township," he
said.
Pratt said he could add littk
in the way of concrete advice to
t h e township's planning com·
mission because it had been doing such an excellent job of pro-moting the township.
He added that Kenosha County is in need of more industries
He said fuat business is good
here, but the labor situation is
tight due ,to low unemployment.
This makes the area unattrac·
live to new industry, he said.

A landmark in the devetnnment of a crura t e planning
guides for l<erosha C<~unty was
reached this week with the completion of a comprehensive soil
survey.
All the field drilling and
sampling has been completed in
th~ two-year project. Completion was marked in a ceremnny
and sceeches during the annual
raad 'tour takeh by Co u n t y
:Board members Tb.ursday.
Detail maps will be finished
durin~ the winter, and shot.!ld
be available to all interested
persons and governmental units
next spring.
The same type of survey,
wh1ch ma'ls out in deta1\ the
tyue ol soil found in every acre
of lar.d in the nunty, has be~n
complet~d lor the m or e than
on~ million ac1·es in the seven
counti~s comprising the Southc lJ s tern Wi~consin Regional
Planning Commissic>n.
George Berteau, chairman of
the planning commission, told
the supervisors the data on soil
properties and chancteristics
which the survey has provided
'·ls one ol the many too1s that
the commission will use in the
preparation of a Regional landuse transportation plan."
''The properties of specific
soih. in specific areas, while not
wholly determinative or controlling, must be taken into account
by subdivider:. developers,
builders, engineers. architects,
farmers, con;;ervationists, anprais~rs, and ass~ssors when
m akin g <levelopment decisions," he said.
··No concept of regional, or
even local, planning can be ef.
fect.!Ve without a most comprehfl'lsive knowledge of our land
and soil properties. The data the
;<;urvey has produced will be
lasting and have utility as long
a.~ the land remains.''
Berteau pointed out the survey waa accomplished by the
Soil Conserv:1tion Service with
the coGperatwn of all officials
of the county and units of
ernment.
The cost to the
about $2,400, he sa

J]Of the Regional Plannlng co ;nmission's project, the cost
v;'ould have been more than
12,000.

AlthOUgh it generally takes two

also helped the greens which
were seeded last August.

fee for class B malt beverages,

"I would have preferred the
OW-Kenosha Center site, but
this is out. I am firmly behind
the present site. I will support
Bill JIIS and do aU I can to see
that it is rassed ~ the University will be a great asset
to the entire county."
He said that having the state
pay for the site would be v€ry
desirable, "bt•t this is not going to be realized''

These remarks are addressed
to "Town Board Bac"ker."

I fully respect your right to
have a d~finite opinion, but your
ouinion of the town board could
~tand a little more thought than
you gave it. Your letter sounds
as though you are not quite
sure yourself of the methods
and motives of tl1e town board.
You say a person should go to

the town mee!ir:>:s and exoress

sues.

Agreed, it should be done this
way, but how can anything be
accomplished when those in
charge refuse to listen or tell
those w'1o spei\k to sit down?
You saY to give the town board
a raise. It seems as thou<;(h your
suggestion is a bit late. One has
already been given to them, a
very substantial one, I might
add. They are paid pretty good.
As for the tax situation, all
you have to do is go out of the
vil!age and talk to some of th~.
farm<'rs and other land owners.
These pro.,le r~n tell you abo~t
taxeo and about unfair assessments. Taxes are supposed to
be assessed according to real
vafue of ~ouses and property,
not value m 10 years.
Also, why are some old homes
and unfinished new homes taxed
higher than others of equal
value? Why should a select few
b~. given a free ta;;:: ride at the
expense of others?
I also agree that the voters
should wake up and become in,
fanned about their township and
how it is being run. Some of the
voters have voted the same way
for so long that \h,;ir minds are
in :1 rut as far as qualifications
are concerned. But. how can
changes be made when people
vote for candidates not because
of their ability or fairnEss but
,because they belong to the same
organization or because thev
odim't belong to the same rcligio~
as the voter?

(Bristol) -- A park was dedicated last SUnday, June 25, and the',
speaker for the occasion !ound In tM project an example of the
better kind of leadership this country needs and a message for the
youth who wUl use the new facility as a playground.

on a bright, sunny Sunday, Marlin Schnurr, WUmot High School
administrator, had a twofold message for the sizeable crowd on
hand for the dedication of the Richard P. Hansen Memorial park,
Ropdully, he said, the young people who w1ll use the park will
remember that Hansen, active In sports as a student at Wilmot,
would want them to play hard, play to win but learn to lose.
"Qu<"i>tion the umpire, yes, but plaY aecording to the rules-and not just the letter of the rules but the spirit,• said Schnurr.
Urgently, he admonished his listeners to keep the park clean,
decent and free from vandalism.
u'The basic trouble with vandalism, • he said, •ts a sick society
that turns away from something wrong.
~Don't depend entirely on the courts of law,~ he continued.
"Young people and all of us must make it our responsibility to

WORKING 'TOGETHER

The park, said Schnurr, is an example of the better kind oi
leadership that marked this country at its best and demonstrates
that it's possible for dtizens to achieve their goals without helP

more comprehensive powers,

Shaufler said he feels that
Bristol can meet the slate requirements for a village. The
township can meet the population requirements, has its own
sewer and water facilities serving the major community on
H;. 45 south of Hy. 50, and ''has
a good development record."

At a meeting recently with
William Kockelman, chief of the

of the southeastern Wisconsin
Regional Planning Commission,
comprehe11sive planning was
initiated for the township.
Kockelman outlined lhe type
of s!Hdy, the development of
the plans, and the methods of
implementing the plans presently being prepared by the
Commission.
The local planning commission
was given information relating
to the use of lhe regional plan
on a local level.
The study stage is expected
to take 6 to a months, with the
planning and development to
follow in the next few months.
Nine areas will he studied by
the local commission, which includes Richard Hansen, Orlln
Rather, James W i r t, Arthur
Magwitz, J ames Redmond,
Meade Walker, Mrs. Harold
Middleton and Mrs. James

Abo11t 40 to 50 persons will be
working under these chairmen
on the study program.
Subjects to be covered include
mapping, regional planning, legislative, community studies, industrial and commercial development and promotion, financial
and conununity communicJ;tion.
Kockelman told the grollp that
lr>eal communities must become
aware of the rapid growth takIng .place in the southeastern

Ambilious Drive
The industrial park, located
on Hy, 45, was the first major
development. The town govern·
ment purchased the a~reage
and embarked on an ambitious
drive to a~cure tenants several
years ago.
With the park a success almost immediately, other de·
velopments followed. Among
them are Bristol Oaks Country
Club private golf course, the
Howard Johnson motel, a trucking terminal, a municipal sewage plant, and a municipal water supply. Recently added are
a recreation area and improved

Like Hollister, Shaufler said
Bristol rrsidents want to plan
their own community "but we
need the powers of a village to
develop to our full potential."
Over the past 10 years, Bris·
tol has developed from a farm·
lng area offering practically no
services to its residents to the
brink of what could be fantastic
gro·wth.

Dutch Gap Canal still
serving a county area
While Suez and Panama canals have som"etimes been ernbroiled in disputes, Bristol township's Dutch Gap Canal flows
merrily on.
In today's pithy language,
Dutch Gap Canal would be
called a drainage ditch, which
it is.
But it was constructed a half
century ago and called a canal,
an entirely correct definition,
though it has no locks and carries no boat traffic.
Mighty Sue:; has been in disUse since the Arab·Israeli war.
The Panama Canal is eventually to be abandoned.
But Dutch Gap Canal "shl!Uld
last forever if it is k e p t
cleaned," in the estimation of
James Waldo, chairman of the
Kenosha c o u n t y drainage
board.
The idea for the canal is cred-

ited to George Shields, a tar
mer, who enlisted his "Bristn!
township neighbors in tbe p
ect around 1910, according
Waldo.

M~s: Marr3aret Maleski retires

Bristol town clerk winds up
nearly 24 years of service
By .JIM MEYERS

)?o-v-i5!ef:

Kenosha News Staff Writer
BRISTOL - She was a 46-year-old widow with four children to
support w\,len she ran for the $600 a year joh of Bristol town clerk
the first time.
Now, almost 24 years later, Mrs. Margaret Maleski wants to
take some time off to visit those children, and her five grandchildren.
Bright-ryed, cheerful and active at t.IJe age of 70, Mrs. Mule5ki
holds the di;;tinction of serving the long~st time in office of any
town official in the county. Her nearest competitor is Somers town
clerk Frank Newman with 22 years in office.
This week Mrs. Maleski submitted her resignation to the Bristol
Wwn board. She will retke on December 31, just about four months
shGrt Gf starting her 25th year GU the job.
It was the $600 a year that propelled her into office the first
time in 1945. Widowed the previous year, she wanted to go back to
office work in Kenosh;>. to provide the money to raise her children.
The youngest was 4
Children Wanted To Stay
But the younllsters rebelled at leaving their home and friends w.
fh<' small rural community on By. 45. The family stayed on. Mrs
Maleski found work in the grocery store and later ran the hamburger stand on the highway.
She entered the election the next spring and won out over oneterm clerk James Waldo by 16 votes. That was the only electwn
competition she had except for last year when a reassessment
brought out a slate of dissident taxpayers determined to take over
town hall.
Without electioneering. she won by 6{) voles.
The only living member' nf the fir~t town hoard she served•
with is Jne Walker. 83. Jn her 24 years, she has served'
two chairmen, Clarence Jackson and present chairman,
IL~ter, who is also chairman of the County Bnard.
Bristol has come a long way since she first took oifice. From
400 voters the total had gone to 1,250 today. One-room s
have given way to a modern, full-service school and a high
district. An industrial ark, a municipal sewer syslcm, and
for incorporating the whole township into a vlllage are accmn·
phshed facts.

BRISTOL - The township's
lo-ng·sought status as a village
received a major setback today
when town officials were notiiled that the state has turned
down an incorporation petition.
Notification came from A. J.
Karetzky, Madison, director of
local and rr.gional planning for
the Wisconsin depar\nlent of
local affairs,
Karetzky opinion was based
on two points of the law which
Karetzky felt were not matched
by Bristol;
l. Requirement that the area
he homogeneous and compact.
2. Requirement that the area
~yond the most densely populated square-mile must have a

po~ntial far development nn a
substantial seale withiu th~ next
tb.ree years.

The petitioners has asked
1\aretzky \1} waive the two requirements because the gfography, wetlands, and terrnin or
Bristol prevent development.
However, the director 3aid
that "to wai,·e consideration
acreage to this extend would hf

'getting a snow job'
To the Editor:
I also ~Ueve Bristol taxpayers are gttting a big snow j(lb.
I went to some of these town
meetmg a few years ag(l and
was told by our town board if
they got industry in, it would
bold taxes down.
On my fann, my taxes bava
tripled. I only hnpe With the increase in board salariu it wnt
inspire some dedieatOO peopl.a
who wm hold the line on t&xet

to run for the p{lsltions.
I believe to hold the line OJl
taxes people should ask for len
services. Everytlme people ask
for serviees, taxes wlll go up. I
believe the town board hu not
been fair with the people by allowing taxes to get so high when
they told us they WQ!lld keep
them down.
The air in Bristol ls polluted
from a tin tee-pee which they
said would not smoke. It also
takes a half day to get a truck
unloaded there. I think we got
along much hetter without Indus·
try. I only wish we could go baclt
to our small local schools where
no buses were needed which
would lower taxes.
Salem b ahead of us. They
co1111olidated years ago, got a
big school and know it was a
mistake, because it is built
where all children must be transported, Now they want a school
in Paddock Lake, one ln Cross
Lake and the one in Salem.
It just doesn't work trying to
get someone else to pay fnr your
children's education. I believe
everyone should ta~ care of his
own as much as possible.
If ynu get state or federal aid,
you pay twice as much, because
yOu have to pay them so they
can pay you back.

On Plan Commission

In announcing the selection,
the board noted that Mrs. Magwltz has served on the Bristol
planrting commission since its
inception ln September, 1965,
and has had considerable expe·
rience in business.
She was employed for five
years in the bookkeeping and
billing departments of the Slm·
mons Co. prior to operating the
store.
Hollister noted that the business and town government experience "was a very important
consideration in making an ap.
pointment at this time a~ there
will be practically no opportun·
ity for the applicant to become
familiar with the office of town
treasurer before the preparation
of tax bills and collection of
taxes."

SHstollndustrial Park facility
makes new electric barbecue grill
By JAMES ROHDE

Ken()sha News Staff Writer lo ) l "?.,
Outd()(lr barbecuing has become a way ol life
enjoyed bv millions of Americans, particularly
during thC summer months. After initial efforts,
many amateur chefs soon decide to replace
their initial equipment with units that are more
sturdy and also eliminates the charcoal mess.
To meet the need for clean home barbecue
equipment, Beatrice Manufacturing Co. initiated
production of the Electro-Grill, manufacturing it
in a plant which opened about six months ago in
the Bristol Township industrial park on Hy. 45.

Bealrke Manufacturing is a unit of the
C h em i c a I and Manufacturing Division of
Beatrice Foods, Chicago-based food processor
and d1stributor.
Officers of the company anticipate prnduction
ot about 50,000 Electro-Grill units by the end of
1971 and are predicting that 1971 sales may
flltlge from $2 1 > to $3 million.
The grill is all electric, constructed ol cast
aluminum and stainless steel and operates on
house voltage. One of its prime
features is that its location is at the option of
the owner since it does not require a permanent
installation
~tandard

The amateur chef can decide on whether he
prefers a portable patio base. portable cart, or
a permanent post mllunting. Since it is rustproof
and rugged, the Electro-Grill can be used the
yeaNround.
Ele<!ro·Grill has as large a cooking surface
as can he heated effectively with 120 volts_ The:
ef!ectiv cooking area is 12 by 18 inches and the
self-cleaing griH is operated by an infmite
control termostat.
Becaus•of market acceptance of the ElectroGrill, conany l)fficers repurt tbat Beatrice
Manuiactllu:g will start an addition this montb
to incrcaS~he facilities tQ 5{1,000 square feet.
Present ID'Jfactul'ing is in a building 100 by

He went on to say that, "An
attempt is presently under way
to set forth in writing possible
terms and conditions so that
factual information can be ob"
tained on which to make a proper decision."
Lists 11 'Must' Items
Hollister then listed 11 items
which must be considered by
the board. They include:
- Detailed plam and specifications showing such things as
traffic, rights-of-way, utilities,
location of units, building stan~
da:rds, operating rules, restrict~
ions, drainage, and all other
matters pertinent to the entire
development.
- Proof of financial backing
for the project, fully documented by responsible financial
institutions.
-An obligation on the part of
the developer to incur, assume,
and pay all developments costs
and expen.s<os connected with
the project and the complete
reimbursement to the Town of
Bristol for any ex:pense on the
part of the town.
- Cnntn'butinn of an exact
dollar amnunt, when determined by the engineer, toward
the construction of a sewage
treatment plant, mains and
lines cnnnected therewith, and
the respnusihillty for tile appropriate percentage llf operational
expense. 'The principal portion
of such Slim is to be available
for draw during any possible
constructinn perilld of any proposed mnnicipal sewage plant.
- Obligation on the part of
the developer to install all improvements, utilities, water,
sewer, etc, within the confines
of the development at its sole
and absolute e:q;ense.
Resident Density Basts
- The projection of the
planned development upon the
basis of a resident density of
not to exceed 12 persons per
acre, with a contractura! provision which will provide adeqtmte sureties or guarantees so
that no burden wilt be placed on
the community for services, in
particular school service.
A contemplated provisioo,
with preliminary figures, would
indieate the development could
adequately support up to 31l()
children with no biU'den on the
community, and a further con-

tractural agreement whereby
the developer would pay the fall
educational cost for each. child
over and above the norm prior
to such child or children enter·
ing the school year with appropriate adjustment using the average daily membership attendance as a guide.
Hollister listed additional
items to include:
- Provision that the planned
community shall remain an integral part of the Bristol C()mmunity and l'lill not be subject to
annexation, detachment, incor·
poration, or otherwise.
- Delineation of the stages of
construction, reside'nt areas,
commercial areas, etc.
- The obligation of the developer to pay or provide for any
extraordinary services which
the Town of Bristnl does not
now nnrmally provide for its
citizens so that no additional
bwden will be placed on the
community by the development.
- A form of surety or cash
bond to secure construction of
the first development stage.
- 0 the r ~rtinent contractural language which may
develop during the course of negoti.>tions.
Hollister said the board would
hold additional informational
meetings as more details are
obtained from the devdoper,
Kenosha Land, Inc.
He warned the citizens that it
would be detrimental to property owners if a hard line policy
were followed in prohibiting future development. He also said:
"This community should not
pre·judge anything bnt instead
should follow the basic common
sense rules of obtaining ali per•
tinent facts before arriving at a
decision."
During the evening, a petition
containing 300 signatures was
presented to the board which
slated·:
"We, the undersigned, do desire to show our disapproval of
a modular home development in
our township and we respectfully request that the govern-ing
board take this under consideration when deliberating the
above matter."
In other business, the board
denied a petition which asked it
to construct a town road south
of Hy. 50 near the Bowmen
Club.

~quence chart with -technical-vocational emphasis.
The major curriculum addition this school year was the
Jroduction of Power Mechanics and Welding at Bradford High

Jrth $U,900.00 has been purchased for the classes.
In order to stimulate thinking among the students for an early,
:lection of an occupational goal, the teachers in Business
jucation and Industrial Arts have developed course sequence

The creation of a new Burlington County is called for l.rl a pian
for •two-level local governm<mt~ which the WisconsinMeh·opolitan

Alliance, Inc., presented rer.ently toGovernor Lucey's
Study Committee.

~trcpolitan

The plan proposes creab.ng the Burlington County out of those
portions of Racine and Ken,osha County which are west of Interstate

94, leaving Racine and Kenosha counties as they exist east of l-S4.

The rationale for the division is that areas of one large int2rrelated economic and social system should be under one regional
government The needs oil rural Raci~ and Kenosha counties cannot
be met by the same gm.·ernment Which provides the services to the
cities of Racine and J<:e.nosha, the report implied.
' The philosophy beaind two-l€V€llocal government is that there
are some needs in a given interrelated area which can only be met
by a large regional government, level two, and at the Sam€
the area is so diverse that many needs can only be met on a
area basis, level one, by the people liVing in that area. The level
one government would be small enough to be close to li:te pBople.
Some services would be provided exclusively by the !!!vel two
government and some by the level one, but most would be performed partly on both levels.
The study listed freeways, museums and welfare as countywide
services and schools and fire protection as local services, exclusively. Splitting services would be the dominant pattern, however,
for example, with refuse collection on level one and refuse disposal
on level two; neighborhood parks on level one, large parks, zoos,
horticultural facilities, etc., on level two; pa.rlting and traffic by
local police and specialized crime control, detection, etc,, a eounty
function; water purified and piped in trunk lines by tile regional
government and distributed by, the local government.
The Alliance's stUdy proposed financing the level-two torm of
government with an "urban-county" income and sales tax package
which would reduce property taxes to abouthalftheir present level.
The system would work in the large metropolitao areas like
Milwaukee by dividing the city into Villages Which would handle the
level-one services, and the regional servlces would be handled by
the metropolitan government, the equivalent of the county government in a rural area.
The Alliance called their plan •not merely a Band-Aid type
~ure• but sufficiently far-reaching to •really do the job.~ lt wou!f!
! l'f e'\i:minate the conglomeration of"anthorities, ~"districts,~ ~boards/
m-'".commissions/ etc.
Implementing the plan would be difficult, the Alliance conceded,
~and might reqUire constitutional amendment.

{Milwaukee) -- Regional planning as an alternative to chaos was
the theme of the discussion which Earl Hollister, Brtstol town
chaJ:rman, P.articipated in at a conference on land uSe in Milwaukee
Jan. 19. l't'J'L
Hollister was one of 15 officials who participated in a panel
discussion, KChaos or Control," that was part of the conference,
sponsored by the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional PLanniRg Commission and the Department of Urban Development.
Many of the speakers in Hollister's discussion emphasized that
the only way to avoid ohaos w:u; to give more controls to the
agencies that draw up regional plans. These agencies previously
had little or nothing to do with implementing the plans.
Former governor Warren P. Knowles, chairman of the land
resources committee, said the committee wUI recommend tbat a
state appeals agency be established to insure that state guidelines
are met in land use decisions made at the local level o! government.
Henry J. Schmandt, chairman of the department of politieal
science at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, emphasiZed
that the situation in land use currently is chaotic and needs change.
Be listed four alternatives, one of which he considered workable'
and politically feasible.
The alternative would be to strengthen the regional planning
body by freeing it from dependence on local governments for financing. Schmandt said the body should also be given some review
powers.

The quarter horse has taken a sudden surge upward in popularity
during the past few years, so there's a iot of horses that need
their hoofs tended by the farrier.
"The horse's feet are an all-important part of his body," said
Reed. "If you don't have a horse shod properly, it n.,1 put you out
of the prize ribbons at the shows. The farrier has an important job
in the horse world."
It's also a dangerous one, and Reed 11as l0 be on constant guard
when he's putting a shoo on a horse. TheY can crowd, buck, kick
and even bite when the farrier has his back turned.
Reed owns the Reed Stallion Station, where he h::u; five different
stallions standing at stud. "We have Arabian, thoroughbred, q_uarter
horse and a Pony of Ameri~;as stud," said Reed. ~we have Corky
Britches, Twist!n and Skip, quarter horse studs, Bronze Fnry, a
thoroughbred stud, and Burkabees Shawnee, a POA stallion. We
stand ready to service any animals in ll1e immediate area."
The stables are located on a 10-acre tract of land, and Reed
looks forward to unwinding from his work as a fu.rrier at the horse
shows on weekends, He has won quite a collection o[ trophies over
the years he has been competing in the showrings,

Phil Krumm of Bristol considers 0 lymp,ics too big
By JAMES R. ROHDJF

"The summer Olympics have gotten too big

They're getting out of hand," remarked Philip

Krumm, vice president of llie U.S. Olympic
Committee at his home on 40(1 acres in Bristol
i township.
: Krumm, who is likely to be nominated for
the presidency when the nominating co.mmittee
meets on Nov. 8, had just rfllurned from Denver and was between flights to Indiana and
New York before returning to Wisconsm and a
' meeting in Milwaukee.
"In Mexico City, we had a total M 8,000 athletes competing in the summer games but in

"THE OLYMPICS is still the greatest media

remarked in answer to the criticism of the recent games and to its suggested suspension by
some opponents.
The tragic deaths of the 11 Israeli's Which
G\:curred when tf.rroris!s entered the Oiympic
village despilf. security seemed. to buck up
Krumm's suggestion for limitations,
"With the number of athletes, coaches, doctors and officials at Munich, there were 2.0,000
people enlerins- and leavmg the village daily,
which is just too big to control," he explained.
In regard to the basketball controversy,
which Krumm a~ w··ll as others blamed on olric'1ling, he. saJd he felt the committef. would

' He offered two possible S~Jlutions to the prob. !em which he plans to present to the Olympic

FIRST, HE SUGGESTS that some of the
: events at the summer games be transferred to
' the winter games and ~econdly, he wants to
cut the number of entries irl each event from 3
to Z from each ~ountry
"'Basketball, along with boxi:1g, wrr~lling a~d
f~ncing, could easily be intltlded in the winter
gam~s as well as a few others," K;umm sug·

IN REGARD TO THE incident in which
Vince Matthews and Wayne Collett were han·
ned from fllrther games because of their attitude on the award stand, Krumm felt the International Olympic Con;mittee (lOC) overstepped their aathority.
"The IOC had no right to d,squalify those
athletes, the matter should have been referred
lo the U.S. OJyrnpii' Committee," he remarked.

HrRE SEWER MAINTENANCE MAN
The board agreed to offer Lloyd Magwitz the position of assistant
sewer and water maintenance man. Magwitz, a licensed plumber
who formerly operated Bristol Hardware, will be a part-time
assistant to Anthony Eibl, the present sewer plant operator.
A preliminary plot was presented to the board for a 38-acre
development near Hwys. 45 and AH by realtor Nicholas Wade and a
representative of Lehman Trailer Mart, Waukegan, The development
would be a 125-unit senior ciUzens' mobile home nark,
The proJect would include homes on 50-foot by 80~foot lots and
would have lhe stipulation that no person under the age of 45 could

Installation and maintenance of roads and to provide for all require~
ments set by town ordinances.

requires an extensiOn of sewer
serv;ce to the area.
He oald there were only two
uptions open to the hoard that of requiring instaUation o(
holding tanks which would be
costly to residents in the area
or the extension of sewer lines.

Before taking any action, the
board agreed to contact the
slate hoard of health for recommendations to alleviate the
problems.

The board appro\·ed a motion
'tnstrucling
the
engirreering
firm of Jens~n and Johnson.
Elkhorn, to have a railing installed at the old sewer plant,
acccrrding to industrial commis~ion requirements.
An estimate of the cost for
!he 1> inch pip€ railing was
given at $940.56. The board ord~red the work completed \lith·
out bidding since it posed a
hazardous condition for anyone
. working at the plant.
The board received an application for a package retail
beer license from Tom Webb,
new owner of tbe grocery store
at Hys. 50 and 45. The license
will allow o~Jy for tile sale of
package goods and not onpremises drinking.
AHhough no opposition was
staled, the board ~greed to
have the town attorney check
requirements of a puhlic hearing before proceeding on the
request.
In regard to another petition,
this one for fencing, from Kenneth Brown, the board instructed the attorney to investigate
the request and get the names
of adjoining property owners.
In the only other actions, the

(Bristol) -- To acquire the largest piece of fire-fighting

ment in the county calls for something special, and that's
town and fire department officials received last Thursday afternoon,
Jan. 4, when they arrived in town with a huge pumper picked up
earlier in Kenosha at Peter Pirsch and Sons.
A surprise welcome awaited the men and their machine as they
rounded the corner of Hwys. 45 and AH. Out of tile firehouse
streamed a group of schoolchildren carrying a htJge "Wekome"

sign and waving flags. They were accompanied by a handful of
adults and led by the lady who planned the event and whose name
was used in the evening "christening" of the 34-foot engine, Mrs.
Judy Hansehe.

"Miss GabbY," the triple combination pumper, costing
is the first of its kind to be delivered in Kenosha, G>:>orge
vice-president of Peter Pirsch, stated.
The first diesel-powered fire engine in the county is powered by
a Detroit engine and equipped witt\ a tandem rear axle fCtr better
weight distribution and stability for its 46,000-pound load.
It took a year and one-half to build and another year and one- haif
to plan. It's eXpected to handle the future needs, as well as prese'lt
ones, of ttle township and may lower fire insurance rates.
The engine has a 1,250-gallon-per-minute pump with maximum
capacity of 2,000 gallons per minute and carries a 1,500-gallon
water tank and a full complement of 1,000 feet of three-inch hose.
· Bristol's fire department also has a 750-gallon-per-minute
fire engine, a 2,000-gallon tanker, an equipment truck and a rescue
squad unit. The department serves parts of Paris Township as
well as Bristol and its large industrial park. A staff of 30 volunteers
maintains the department. The men will now be trained to use fne
new vehicle which will be operated for large rural fires and others
requiring a large volume of water and high pumping capacity. It
will take six- weeks before the truck will be in service.
Meanwhile, a future open house is being planned so area resJdents can i.1spect the new truck.

(Washington) -- First District Congressman Les Aspirt<$
nounced this week that the Treasury Department on Friday mi{h
$1,105,753 in revenue-sharing fWlds to Kenostla Coi!Rl

Aspin expressed ~disappointment" that the new revenue fig\U1
had not been released earlier, "I believe that the Treasury s!Wii
have released accurate figures earlier so that local governniJl
could adequately plan their budgets," he sald.
,~.
The total of revenue shari11g differs from original esti~
b€cause of a recalculation of complicated formulas used to ctete'J
mille revenue sharing, Aspin noted.
Kenosha County's revenue sharing is as follows; Kenosha coqD,t

4-H'ers Make, Sell }lv~I 6,0011 l'inas

(Bristol) ~- It's easy to accePt a factory operation putting
together 6,000 pizzas and distributing them by the tnmdreds to lots
of stores. But It fairly boggles the mind to accept that numbe-r
being assembled and distributed by amateurs~- and young people,
at that.
Yet that's what happened on Friday lU!d Saturday, Jan. 2S-Z7,
When over 300 4-H members, with a hand from their leaders, some
parents and friends, got together at Bristol School and made
over 6,000 cheese and sausage pizzas for delivery to buyers¥
had previously ordered them in the big proJect tile 4-H'ers [Jd on
to raise fu!lds for the planned 4-H building at the Kenosha
fairgrounds.
Supplies were purclla~ed from the Pizza Steak Co. of M;\lvaukee.
The crust was partially baked, dry enough to handle, the s~usage
measured out in square pats with paper b€tween the uniform
amounts. Sauce was distributed down the long aisles of tables in
big kettles carried on grocery store carts; the shredded ch;:-ew
was measured in paper cups.
The operation \V'.ls done in three shifts, wH11
members arriving at about 3;30 p.m. for their st
others at specified hour~. The boxed pizzas were
!rigerated trucks for delivery on Saturday.
County 4-H agent Gerry Glas, acknowledging the fine
lion and comparative ease with which the project was
hinted that the clubs might just try it again!
~d why not? The pizzas were a bargain at $1.25, and too clubs
'"~~~ to make $3,000 from the proJect.

Eggs to rise to $1 a dozen
J

Bac¥, fo?wnships
Governmental rev1sionists who seek to eliminat<e townships under the guise of eC'onomy are flourishing more than
ever in Illinois_ The theory of doing away with townships as
being archaic and wasteful has special appeal in urban
areas where there is little or no unincorporated territory. A
battle over elimination of township government is bei
w~ged in Niles Township which will be settled at the polls
April.
Elimination of the townships in suburban or rural areas
would be a grave mistake, in our opinion. Evidence comes to
our attention almost daily where township officials perform
important services to the people. The township assessor
encounters untold public relations work in st.raighlening out
tax problems. We can't conceive of any centralized bureau
doing a better or fairer job of administrating relief than the
township poormaster. We can imagine how impersonal
highway fuctionaries would treat citizens living on rural
roads who rely on the understanding and helpful township
road commissioner for solving highway problems. Supervisors have a difficult time as it is seeing that building and
zoning regulations are enforced. It's hard to conceive a
citizen receivmg a positive response from an aide in the
building office miles away.
No, we still are sold on the importance of tt:lwn.~hip
government. We hope the anti·township movement doesn't
spread to our locality, but if it does we shall fight it.

Salvation Army Provides Wonderland For Campers
BY JOANNE SPRINGMAN

f

~~

f';
.

(Camp Lake)-- Camp Wonderland will be the site of the
l$alvation Army's annual pilgrimage, with three days of
evangelisti-c meetings and Bible seminars, scheduled for
Aug. 31 to Sept 3.
On Friday, Aug. 31, the opening rally will be held.

Friends of the Salvation Army and churches are invited to
join the Salvationists from greater Chicago and northern
Illinois.
That area's unified commander, Lt. Col. AndrewS.
Miller, ,said, ~we are anticiPating a great time of Christian
fellowship during the events of the weekend. It is our desire
that our friends will come and see our beautiful camp and
share in the Christian fellowship which is ours through
Jesus Christ our Lord.~
"CHRISTIAN CAMP"
Edward Homer, the director of Camp Wonderland, which
is owned and operated by the Salvation Army, Chicago, said

that the camp is a "Christian camp,~ the primary purpose
of which is •to help people lmd a right relationship with
God through Jesus Christ.»
Established on 86 acres of land on Center Lake, the
camp accommodates 600 cam!J€rs and 105 staH members,
per session during the summer (June I to Labor Day) and
492 campers and 20 staff members in the winter (the weekend following Labor Day to May 1).
A. total of 6,000 persons stayed at the camp
entire summer, and 7,000 persons stayed last winter,
was the first winter that the camp was: open, This year,
20,000 persons are expected to stay at the camp.
Camp Wonderland actually consists of three camp areas,
,,all of which are utili~ed in the summertime-- Will Rogers
Memorial Shagbark Camp, Wonderland Village lUld Hil
Shagbark's facilities are used by such groups a5
Salvation Army, northern Illinois division, Girl Guards,
'Roy Scouts, Sunbeams and Cub Scouts, and the progra.rn
also includes a music camp.
Hilltop accommodates vacationers, training· institutes
and small conferences.
WONDERLAND VILLAGE
Wonderland Village is a community service camp,
providing a senior citizens' encampment, two camps for
mothers and children age 12 and under, and facilities for
four different age groups, from age 8 to 14, all of whom
are invariably from Cook County, Ul.
In Wonderland Village a seven-day camping program is
operated by college students and teachers. The main objective of the program, Homer said, is to try to help chHdren
"go home with a better self-image.~
Campers and counselors live and participate in all
activities together and "establish a commillli;tY in which

activities.
Wonderland Village is the only one of the three area~
which is utilized durin(;' the winter by such groups as the
Boy Scouts, Girl Scout-; and church team groups and for
various activities such as adult retreats, public scLool
outdoor education and small conferences.

CAMP FACILITIES
Facilities at Camp Wonderland, which will celebrate its
50th anniversary next March, include 80 buildings, two large
dining halls, staff and camper quarters, two chapels, two
concession stands, a general store, a beach house, a beach
with two swimming docks and boat-loading ramps, rowboat

land Village, who participate in the program free of charge,
are referred through the Salvation Army Chicago Family

of the Ed Kozak family. The Kozak property has just been
registered as a certified Backyard Wildlife Habitat by the
National Wildlife Federation as a link in it5 nationwide
network of mini·refuges for wildlife in residential neighborhoods.

Steps taken by the Kozaks to attract wildlife indude the
planting of 10,000 l!"ees , digging a pond, planting fruitbearing bushes and trees, and a winter feeding program
which starts in late fall and ends in spring.
The kozak property totals 42 acres. Their home is situated
on two acres where about 20 mallards plus black and tea\
ducks enjoy the pond that the Kozaks put in two years ago
Across the road are 40 acres containing about l2 acres of
virgin land where the 10,000 trees are planted. Large stands
of beautiful oaks and other big trees surround the area. As
~oon as snow deprives the wildlife of their food, the Konks
begin the winter feeding program, followed religiously
because·· "once you start, you must continue to put food
where it's become a custom," Mrs. Kozak points out,
otherwise the wildlife will starve. So hundreds of pounds of
seeds plus other goodies are taken to a cleared area every two
days all through the winter.
Mr. and Mrs. Kozak are former genera14-H clllb leaders.
As the leader of the club's bird project, Mrs. Kozak
encouraged the members to enter the Backyard Wildlife
Program and set a fine example, the result of which is the
recently acquired certificate
Other residents who would like to encourage wildlife
to nest and feed in their yards may write to Backyard Wildlife
Program, National Wildlife Federation, 1412 • 16th Street

property registered as a certified Backyard Habitat, they

The Bnstol Town Board has Jpproved'i'
resolution dedicating the old town hall
property to the Kenosha County Park
Commission w1th the under~tanding that the
commission restore the old town hall as a
museum to retain the historical value to the
township
The board also stipulated that the county
maintain the property as an historical site
once the restoration to its original condition
is completed.
TOWN CHAIRMAN Earl Hollister raised
the question of disposing of the former town
hall property. It is located on the south side
of Hwy. C between Hwys. D and MB. lt is
currently being leased to the Beauti Vue
Products Co. for storage.
The town attorney was instructed to check
on the lease to determine when the transfer
could be made once the county agrees to the
proposal.
Hollister told the h0<1rd members that the
county park commission has expressed an
interest in the one-acre parcel as a possible
museum and entrance to the 180-acre
county park to be developed in Bristol
Township.

Copies of the proposed 1974-75 town budget were>
distributed to the audience. A public hearing on the budg~,
will be held Nov. lO at 9 a.m, in the town hall, with adoption
set for the Nov. 26 board meeting. The proposed "budget of
$173,748 is approximately $40.000 higher than the 1973-74
budget of$133,925, although the town tax of a half mill will be
maintained.
Holliste; said there is a possibility of a decrease in the
town's shared taxes from the state, which could have a
disastrous effect on next year's budget. The state legislature
requires the town board to keep the same town mill tax as the
previous year, but no provisions are made for increases which
could affect current town obligations. He stated the need for
"moving" property both in the industrial park and the
township and the need for a new census next spring to enable
the township tu receive the proper proportion of shared tax
funds. He also said serious consideration should be given to
constructing a new municipal building.
The board also approved the purchase of a cassette tape
r;:corder, at a cost of $70, to record town meetings.

decrease in state aids.
The board also approved the relmbursement of $3
registration fees to teachers, paid while they attended the
Westosha inservice training session, held at Central High
School.
The board also signet! a revised fiand contract for Cen• tral High School, providing instrumental instruction by Jol:m

The Merkt Cheese Company:
80 Y1aars of Tradition , , ,,
(Brist(Jl) -- The story of the Merkt Cheese CompanY,
~heese manufacturing firm in Kenoslla co~.;nty,
really be1;ins about 80 years ago on a farm in Hartford,
Wis., where Fred Merkt made sal!Sage which was peddled by his seven sons, George, Gl:lrvase, Edward, Norbert,
Frederick, Herbert, and Joseph.
The family subsequently moved to Milwaukee, where the
boys continued to peddle the sausage, some of whicll wa.s
purchased from outside sources, in addition to that which
the only

ME!rkt made. EventuallY, all the Merkt sons be!!:an making

sausage,

married,

and

started their

own- individual

businesse:-.
George and Carol Merkt were married in 1937 a.lld
came to Salem, where they opened an establishment called
Merkt's C~eeS€ and Sausage, on the site of the present
Brass Ball Cheese Mart. There they made sausage and
acquired ctr;mse from other firms.
The following year, tlle Merkts moved their business
to a location across from theil' home in Paddock Lake,
adding fresh meats to their line of products. Georg-e Merkt
also began a route to farmers in !he area, delivering cheese,
sausage, and' fresh meats, while Mrs, Merkt "held Ute fort"
at the store.
FIRST CHEESE SPREAD
Finally, in the basement of the present, building in
Bristol, Merkt contiml€d making sausage and began ex··
perimenting with making cheese spread. Then, approximately
in 1959, the first ]ar of cheese spread was actually made
there, but not sold.
In 1960, Merkt's Cheese Company was established i::J
Salem, and, in 1966, while retaining the store in Salem,
the company moved to the present building in Bristol,
which had been a locker and beef plant owned by Mr. and
Mrs. Edwin Muhlenbeck. There, in addition to tile clmese
spread, bacon and liver sausage were included in the Merkt
line, with fresh meat and regular sausage eventually discontinued.
In time, the original 5pread flavors of cheddar and
swiss were increased in number to 13, including baeon
cheddar, brandy cheddar, garlic cheddar, toasted onion
cheddar, pepper cheddar, smoked cheddar, wine ~.heddar,
horseradish cheddar, almond swiss, blue swiss, and c
,;fflss. A cheese mail order service, begun in the
o.i:dies at S:J.lem, was also built up.
In December, 1971, upon the death of her IJUsl!and,
Mrs. Merkt, who had been taking care of the bookkeepwg,
took over the business with her nephew, Tom Merkt, w110
is currently manager of production. Mrs. Barbara Young
is the manager of th.e retail store in Salem, where ilSe of
the display window is encouraged for projects by ;oclwols
and youth organizations.

BUSINESS PROSPERS
In addition to over-the-counter sales, three Merkl
brothers--Herbert, New Berlin; Norbert, Milwaukee; and
Gervase, Thiensville--continue independent distribution of
their late brother's products, and customers include Kohl's
and Sentry supermarkets in Wisconsin; Holiday Inns tn
Wisconsin and Illinois; many night dubs and supper clubs
in Wisconsin; and other small retail stores.
Besides the eheese spreads, Merkt's supplies
which is hand-rubbed, home-cured, and smoked,
braunschweiger style liver sausage to retail outlets arolilld
Wisconsin. Merkt products are also available at stores
owned by Tom Merkt in West Allis and near downtown
Milwaukee.
Moreover, exhibits of Merkt products have been featured
at many fairs in Wisconsin, including "the state fair, and
at fairs in St. Louis, Mo., and Toledo, Ohio.
QUALITY PRODUCTS
The Merkt products are high-quality cheese spr<Jacts,
made from the Merkt formula, with no preservatives,
art~ficial flavoring, and no fillers. TflEl 'rade"A, state-

brand ct8ese for the cheddJr derivatives comes in4b-pound
b!ocks from Outagamie cn:mt;·, Black Creek, Wis., and the
swiss ch.eese, also Grade
state-brand, comes from Green
Cheese, Monroe,
;, Merkt describes n,~ inc;i-edients of her products as
"sweet and simple." and, ill widrtwn to the principal cheese,
they ir.dt1de whey solids, w.ttn. c:'·cese c·oloring, and churned

said. "I like to think that was forced to discontinue use llf the phrase, and he drop·

Octogenarian Loves Angus Breeding
BY WALLY E. SCHULZ

Mathias Kassnel, rural Bris·
tol. has a record of breeding
sleek Black Angus cattle for 38
years and at the age of 80 was
just awarded another top
award in the state. At a
meeting of the Wisconsin
Angus Association, held at the
Heritage House. Madison. the
local breeder was presented a
plaque which reads: "'f<Jf long
and meritorious years of service to the Ang-us Breed of
cattle. 1974 .. presented by the
Wiscon;m Angus A~socia·
tion:·
"'I was really honored to
receive thi> plaque.·· said
K~ssnel. ""I've been out of
breeding aetivcly since ! sold
my fRtm. remarried and moved
to Bristol a few years ago:·
Kassncl has led a storvbook
life. He made his way to
America on a ship from
Hungary about the year 1911.
'"I recall wanting to be a
farmer since l was a very
young hoy.'" said the friendly
breeder. '"! recall telling my
father that I wanted to be a
fal"1nCr. Then he'd shatter my
dr~am and say ! was too little
and not strong enough to be a
beef raiser. But l never gave
up that dream. l found 11 to
bc~umc a realitv in this
e<Juntry.'"
But it was a tottgh struggle
for Kassncl before he realized
his dream. He first took a job
as a barber in Chicago where
he first set foot. After that
came jobs of operating a milk
wagon, running a grocery
store -- and qving all the
money he could to buy a farm.

Finallv one day he had b<lilt

(Bristol) -- Tuesday, Feb. 12, the Bristol Volunteer
Fire Department and Auxiliary celebrated the unit's 75th
anniversary, altllough the official date of the department's
organization is Feb. 16, 1899. A special anniversary for
the entire community will be held during the annual Bristol
Progress O:)ifs, July 6-7.
HISTORY
From the department by-laws, adopted in 1899, up to
the present time, Bristol has kept a substantial record
collection, including department records written in pencil, dozens of cancelled checks, plus photos, pictures,
citations and other memorabilia, all on display at the
oelebratlou.
Pictures of the party were taken by WlSN, Channel 12,
Milwaukee, and were scheduled to be shown on the 6 and 10
p,m. news broadcasts on Saturday, Feb. 16.
The first fire department was housed in the rear of
the build~ that is presently Merkt's Cheese Factory.
Later it was moved across the street in the rear of the
I,Jlacksmith shop and next to the telephone office. In 1936
equipment was housed in a room at the north end of Merten's
Garage and in 1941 to the present town hall. In 1960 an
addition was built to house new equipment This facility
now houses the town offices while the department is across
the street in the old Krahn garage which was purchased and
renovated in 1966.
From a hook-and-ladder on a three-spring wagon with
ladders 3nd fire buckets hanging on the sides the hose on the
bed, and a pump hooked on the rear, the department acquired
its first motorized purn~r from the Peter Pirsch Co.,
Kenosha, in 1936 at a cost of $4,208.80.
Last vear a 1,600 gallon pumper, the first dieselpowered apparatus of its kind in the county was purchased
from Peter Pirsch for $48,907.
In 1969 3ll equipment van was converted into a rescue
squad with about 12 volunteers 3nd on Jan. 28 this year
bids were opened for a sec.ond rescue unit to be delivered
later in 19'14.
The first officers were a captain, Sam Knapp, equal
to tile present day chief, Bill Bohn; a first lieutenMt,
Donald A. Wtc:ks; Md a second lieutenant, Frank R. Lavey.
Botln'S assistant is Arthur "Spudn Magwitz. From the original 6 to 10, the department has gi"own tO a staff of 30.
"U it wasn't for \he dedicated members who served
the Bristol Fire Department over the past 75 years, this
township would not have progressed to iis present sta~, •
Earl Hollister, town chairman, said. aMaybe someday
we'll come to full-time paid help, Meanwhile, we're more
than happy for our volunteers.~
He mil;ht have added that the present support of the
department l:Jy tne town wasn't always the case. In 1935
when Chief John Runge approached the board and requested
a motorized truck he was turned down. rt took a petition
with enough signatures to get approval.
The department, itself, collected a $Z5 fire call fee
before the board begM to handle the collections and to
take care of equipment maintenance, Later, the town
chairmM offered the department anythlng it needed. Chief
Runge's request was for helmets, coats and boots. They
got the coats and helmets but pald for their own boots.
Runge, who joined the department lu 1SZ7 and was
elected Chief in the early 30's, resigued and moved to
Kenosha iu 1938. He was unable to attelld the celebration
because of illness. His successor, Fred Pitts, and the
latter's assistant, Fred Maleski, and former assistant
Marshall Bishop were oo hand.

Here are some seeds for
thought for the residents of
Pleasant Prairie as to where
we stand today as a com·
munity and how we might
possibly look 10 years from

oow
Much of the large farm
areas are now owned by
large land brokerage firms,
banks, and other private
interests.
We are losing, nibble by
nioble, bits and chuuks o!
Pleasant Prairie to the city
of
Kenosha,
This
strengthens their tax rolls
and weakens ours.
We will in time all erode
to the same end. Why then
couldn't Pleasant Prairie
become a fourth class city?
We could build our own
sewage treatment plant in
the central hub of Pleasant
Prarrie and grow outwards
to meet our four directions.
Our own shopping centers
and residential areas would
outstrip the city's. Let's es·
tablish industrial parks.
I think that if 1,000 new
homes were to be built in
Kenosha County they would
all be built in Pleasant
Prairie, especially if we had
a sewer system_
Watch it grow when
there's a shopping ceuter,
drugstores, banks, theaters
and a park_ As for doctors,
patients may have to come
out here to find them. It
scares me to think the people of Pleasant Prairie do
not have a hand in their own
future. I'm not sure this is
by choice or chauce
I would also like to see us
out of the Unified School
District quagmire just as
soon as our growth potential
warrants it. Time is running
out for us to act iu this direc"
tion
Eventually we will have to
pay the city of Kenosha for a
sewage treatment plant and
for sewers. What will it cost
us then?
We will grow or the choice
is ours. l would hate to see
us just another metropolitan
bureaucratic part of
Kenosha. Jake Kammerzell
had a belief along these lines
some years back but Wf! shot
him down in flames

Earl Hollister, town chairman, told the board, "I'm
not opposed to these re·
quests, but I'm certainly not
going to vote in favor of installing streetlights
throughout the township
withoot first having a study
made by the Wisconsin
Electric Power Co."
Sup. Noel Elfering
introduced a motion calling
for the board to take the
petitions under advisement
and have the power company prepare a plan for installing street lights in the
township that would be
presented at a meeting with
the full board present.
DlscuHs Road Plan
The proposed Kenosha
County highway jurisdictional plan also came up for
discussion last night.
Hollister asked the board
and
residents
for
recommendations on the
plan which is expected to
come up for a vote of the 15member highway jurisdictional
committee
Wednesday,
The plan prepared by the
Southeastern Wisconsin
Regional Planning Commis·
sion for implementation by
1990 could turn over to the
township 35 to 40 miles of
roads now maintained by the
county.
Hollister fl!ceived support
on a suggestion to have Hy.
MB in the township remain
as a county highway rathl!l'
than having it fl!Vert back to
the township as proposed in
the plan.
Subdivision Planaed
Hollister also reported on
the progress of a proposed
subdivision in the George
Lake area. He said tbe
prel.lminary plat with 125
homesites and 25 mUltiple
dwellings proposed in the
development known as
"Chateau Lake George"
received the approval of
both the planning board and
Town Board.
He said the developer of
the area east of Hy. 45 and
south of 106th St. (Mallard
Dr.) is currenUy checking
the CQSt of extending the
town water system to the
area.
The board previously ask·
ed for an escrow deposit
prior to the extension of
sewer service.
"If we're required to put
an extension on the sewer
plant in the future, I want
the money to be available to
the township." Hollister
said.
In other acQon, the board:

the PMO is a paragraph
ordering farmers to move

(Paddock Lake) -- The Paddock Lake village board adopted
an ordinance to increase Sewet f:itesat th'Ei Feb. 20 meetmg.
For residents in District 1, rates were increased from :S3
per month, which included sewer ami water, to $6.50, with
$S to cover plant operation and maintenance and $1.50 for
water, until the Public Service Commissio.n establishes a
new rate.
For residents in District 2, the rates were increased from
$7 to $10 per month, with $5 for plant operation and maintenance and $5 for retiring the bond. The rates were raised
on washing machines in laundromats from $1.25\o$1.75 per
machine per month.
A connection fee of :poo was also established, replacing
the former lateral fee of $300 for new Installations, beg:lnning March 1, 1974.
The board also expressed hope that the building moratorium in the village may be lifted, possibly as early as
May 1. Lifting the moratorium would be accomplished
without enlargin& the sewer plant or constructing a second
digester.
A plan was explained for hauling treated sludge from the
plant twice a Year, to delay eXpanding the plant. Plant
engineers would haul treated sludge to area farms In the
spring and fall to be cultiYated in the soil for fertilizer.
A motion was introduced to authorize the Jensen and
Johnson engineering firm, Elkhorn, to proceed with plans
needed for approval of state grants to install a digester, but
the motion died for lack of a second,
ln proposing May 1 lor ending the moratorium, Phillip
Dunek, village president, said that it would depend upon
adoption of proposed OI'dinunces pertaining In part, to the
zoning and building codes.
In other action, the board:
--Adopted two ordinances to establish a comprehensive
code for the village and to designate no parking areas m
village locations.
--Autllorized a Waukesha firm to inspect and film 300 feet
Gf s:mitary sewers on an easement, at a cost not to exceed
$250.

--Approved the transfer of $16,423 from the village fUnd
to the sewer account, due for IS?Z.
--Authorized spending up to $250 to redecorate the village
h:UL
--Approved purct1asing a used generator through the
offke of emergency government on a 60-day trial basis,
with the cost not to eJ<<'eed $400.

State Rep. Adeline J. GeoKaris,
31st
District.
Republican, has drawn the
praise and thanks of the
Taxpayers' Federation of
Dlinois for her efforts to
control property tax rates
withm the state.
In a letter to the legislator,
Maurice W. Scott, executive
vice president of the tax·
payers' organization said.
"My staff and I wish to
thank you for your good
work in the meetings of the
Il!inois General Assembly in
1973. You had a good record
in opj.>Osing legislation which
would have authorized local
governments to increase
property tax hmits''
Scott pointed to Rep. GeoKans' vote on Senate Bill444
as an example of her concern for the taxpayer. The
bill, if enacted, would have
eliminated any limit on the
garbage fund cities and
villages could impose
In addition to her oppositlOn to Senate Bill 444,
Rep Geo-Karis supported
workabk
tax
relief
measures introduced in the
GenerJ.l A%embly durmg
1973 and is a vocal supporter
of a freeze on residential
real estate tax limits !or
senior citizens
E:xplairung her ~tand on
real estate tax levels, the
Zion Republican said, "We
must consider the plight of
our senior citizens who have
worked, saved, invested
their earnings in a home and
mamtained that home, and
now find their equity en·
dangered by constantly
rising property taxes.
"!! we do not find a
method of ending the constantly increasing property
taxes they face, these people
are likely to have a life of
hard work lost simply
because their fixed incomes
will no longer stretch far
enough to cover the absolute
necessities of life and their
property taxe5," she said

Report On Tax Referendum
'·;y
~.

!

(Bristol) -- Bristol residents heard a report on the
constitutional amendment to provide preferential taz treatment for agricultural and undeveloped land at the Marcil
Z5 meeting of the Bristol town board.
The referendum, to t.ave been submitte\1 to voters
April 2, asked: "Shall Sectionl of ArticleS of the Wisconsin constiintion be amended to permit the Lc>girlature to
define ru;ricuHural land and undev<?loper! lan<J and to alJo;.·
that taxali@ of such clas',€S of lanJ neeJ not be uniform
''-'ith one another, nor with the taxation of other real
property?"
Dale Nelson, representim; th·2 Kenosha Coeaty Farm
Bureau. said that passage of the amendment was important
to tlolh urban and rural r€sident~ liecau~-e it would presene llte green belt, area and <;ontrol . urban ·;prawl.
To1;n chairman, Earl !-lolli~ter, a,'rL0d that t!tere
should be chan;:!!S in tile overall tax structure, but b~
~.-;d that he was hesitant about the proposld amendment,
Hollister said that approximately ·10 per cent ofassesS~Jd
value of Bristol current!) lif's in ar;ricalture. If the
amendment were approved, he addo-,d, valuation of that land
could drop from 50 to 20 per cent.
ln other action, Fred Pitts, tow,n clerk, was in,·;tructed
to sign the deed for the transfer or the old town hall property to the county parks comrmssion, with the condition
that the commission maintain the e~istim· buildm~s i_n

BRISTOL - Construction
of a new fire station and
town hall was the primary
topic of discussion last evening at one of the quietest
annual town meetings in recent years.
Earl Hollister, town
chairman, told the audience
of about 50 persons that
space needs for housing fire
department vehicles is becoming critical, especially
with the addition of the new
rescue squad unit which will
be delivered within the next
60 days.
The new rescue unit will

bring to seven the

associate pastors occupied the pulpit.
"Beatrice at the organ has given us continuity in music
to enhance the ritual and the spoken word of each minister," Mrs. Roberta Smith said in a tribute to Mrs. Wehner.
The organist began here career in music in 1910 by taking
piano lessons with a Chicago teacher who came to Kenosha
to teach young ladies piano.
After graduating in three years from Lawrence Conserva

voice teacher. She picked up sight rt>.ading of music.
Her parents gave her six weeks' study at Arens Art Col

To the Editor: !:"-..' 1-'"'4
The voten of Bristol
township should realize that
they may soon be paying for
a new town ball and fire
station that could cost them
upwards of $250,000 when
completed.
There are those who say it·
is an absolute necessity.
As a concerned voter and
taxpayer in Bristol, I say
that the present fire station
rombined ·with the present
town hall to be converted to
fire station facilities would
be more than adequate for a
good long time.
The town offices could be
moved into some other adequate or even an existing
building. (Davidson's old
store is a possibility.)
Large town meetings and
the annual meeting could be
held at the new school
which we taxpayers "are
paying dearly for now.
If you are against endless,
needles spending, call your
Town Board members and
tell them so or be at the
town meetings the second
and fourth Monday nights of
each month at 7:30p.m. and
voice your opposition to this
spending.

~Misleading percentages•
BRISTOL, Wm.-'The media are showing their irresponsibility by reporting the
increased fitst quarter earnings Qf oil
companies compared to a year ago as
percentage figures, amd rro more.
There are other factors which should
be C<Jnsidered - d<lllar sales, return on
investment, and returns per share. Maybe the last year's f1rst quarter earnings
were far below what would be a fair
return on investment. It is a fact that
the 1972 return on investment for the
oil industry was bel<lw that for manu·
facturing. That was just cne of the
reasons for the decline in well drilling
and the leveling off in the constructwn
of new refineries.
I ncte from your financial pages that
a conglomerate increased its first quarter 1974 earnings per share by 95 per
ct1nt, from 69 cents last year to $1.J5
this year. What about the A&P Tea
Company, which reported fourth quarter
net earnings of $12,497,000 compared
to a loss of $1,25-8,000 a year earlier?
How do you figure a percentage on
this? This sounds like a fantastic increase but it was a return of only 0.7
per cent on each dollar of sales. So in
reporting a company's earnings more
than a perrentage figure.dsdwce.ssary

Spaeth, 58, a management

on the Democratic ticket
for the sb.t currently held
by Russell Olson (RBassett).
In announcing bls can·
didacy, Spaeth said, "On
March l, 1975, the United
States officially begins celebrating its 200th an·
niversary. We need not wait
until then to show a new
spirit of '76 in which we
demand the very best of our
e!eeted officials and at the
same time pledge ourselves
to a revitalization of the ideals Eor which the American
Revolution was fought.
"Good government starts
within each of us and is best
expressed through concern
and participation in our village, county, city and state
affairs.
"As tbe U.S. moves into
its third century, there is no
other course of action if we
are to heal and strengthen
the fibers of our great country. The electorate must
show concern and be prepared to take an active role.
"If we are to entrust others
to govern for us, we share
some of the responsibility
by actively showing interest
and demanding accountability from those in whom
we have placed out trust,"
he added.

while saying that quarterly
profits for beef farmers are
down 1,000 per cent.
Along with inflated costs,
Olson blames the plight of
the livestock farmer on a
chain of events. They mclude a misguided boycott
on beef, the imposition then
removal of price controls,
truck strikes, excess chain
store profits and the end resuit of a decrease in meat

consumption by a confused
public. Olson said Ute only
way for the meat industry
to return to stability and
sanity !S for the federal government to resist hysteria
"and keep its hands off and
allow the supply-demand
factor to work."
He said the American
farmer could then "a,ontinue to produce food more
economically than anywhere else in the world."

Olson said is important to
the local area.
Olson also said the various state agencies and
bureaucracies must become
more respolll!ive to the public.
"Too much of the
Legislator's time is taken
up just trying to convince
state employes that their
first responsibility is to the

Olson cited the need for
strong representation for
the agricultural sector in
the State Legialture. As one
of the few active farmers in
the Legislature, Olson has
worked closely with farm

affecting the vital business
of farming.

Bristol ok's KAC workshop
(

By JAMES ROHDE
Staff Writer

BRISTOL- The Kenosha
Achievement Center found
a home in Bristol Township
last night for its proposed
workshop facility.
A unanimous vote of the
Bristol Town Board authorized the ~le of Z¥.! acres
land in the town's industrial
park on Hy. 4ft south of Hy.
50, which will house the
12,000 square foot building.
The sale of land to KAC
appeared to be in doubt two
weeks ago when a motion by

Earl Hollister, town chairman, failed to get a second
by either Noel Elfering or
Chester Boyington, town su-

pervisors.
Boyington, however, said
last night he and Elfering
favored KAC's locating in
Bristol but both questioned
the industrial park site
because of comments by
some constituents.
Dr. John Richards, chair-

_). }.. /¥

man of the KAC executive

committee, said other locations in Bristol were investigated but the industrial
park was the only available
site offering both sewer and
water.
Boyington requested that
Hollister submit the question of the sale of land to
KAC to a vote of the approximately 40 to 50 persons attending last night's meeting. When a show of hands
was requested, no one
raised his hand m opposition.
One resident, Dale
Nelson, was applauded
when he said, "I think we've
got the procedure changed.
We should be asking KAC to
locate here rather than
them asking us for permission to come."
The vote to authorize the
sale of land at approximately $4,000 an acre came on a
motion by Boyington with
Elfering seconding it. After

it was adopkd, Hollister

A final tabulation shows
the county made $25,610 in
the auction of tax deed land
held Friday night.
"It was the most suc·
cessful auction ever," said
the auctioneer, County
Clerk Edward J. Wavro.
A total of 52 parcels of
land were sold to the
highest bidder. Only 10 of
the 63 were left over, and
this week some of those
were being sold by Wavro
who by law lets them go at
the prices set by the County
Board's finance committee
after the auction.
Ruth Radatz, county
treasurer, said most of the
tax certificates involved
dated back 14 years, to 1960.
"I'm delighted we're getting these parcels back on
the tax rolls," she said.
While it was probably the
largest number of tax deed
parcels sold at one time,
there are going to be more

sold this year.
Mrs. Radatz said she ex.
pectj! to turn over more
than' 50 parcels to Wavro,
ready for auction, some
time next month. These will
be viewed by the finance
committee which will set
minimum prices on them
and then a second auction
can he held. Normally the
county only holds one auction a year.
"We are making continuous strides to cut dowrl
on the abundance of delinquencies in our files," Mrs
Radatz said.
The majority of the
parcels sold to some 40 or 50
bidders at the Courthouse
Friday night went for more
than the asking price, wjjh
some doubled and trip16I,
One parcel listed for $225
was auctioned off finally for
$3,600.

Ground was broken this week for a 1~,000 square foot
building in the W~~!!__s:h.:t.Development Industrial
Park to house the processing and packaging facilities
of the Kernen Sausage Co. of Kenosha.
Founded in 1936 by J. J. Kernen, the company manufactures 11 different types of sausage products and
notes particular success with Braunswager and liver
sausage.
Company products are distributed in Kenosha,
Racine and Walworth Counties of Wisconsin and ex·
tensively in Northern Illinois.
John H. Kernen, who joined the business in 1936, is
now president of the company. Charles E. Nass joined
the firm in 1949 and is now vice president. They are the
principal owners. Clifford Plaisted, a long-time employe, is in charge of shipping and receiving.
The firm employs 18 persons fu11 time and an addi·
tiona! 11 part-time employes.
The building will be constructed by Watring Brothers
who own the industrial park. The building will be of
steel, concrete and glass and will include approxil!l~~e-

The Kenosha County Civil Defense Department has
issued the following suggestions for citizens to follow in
case of a tornado. Although tornados can occur at any
time of the year, the spring and summer are when they
are most prevalent.
All of the civil defense sirens ttrroughout the city and
county are actirated by radio signal from a special console
at the Kenosha county sheriff's department.
Upon notice by teletype, radio or telephone to "sheriff's
department that a tornado war~ is in effect for Kenosha
county or near vicinity by the National Weather Service
or other reliable agency, or that a tornado funnel cloud
was actually been sighted, !tte sirens will be immediately
activated.
For a #tornado warning," the sirens will sound in a
long steady tone for three to five minutes. This means
that a tornado has actually been sighted in our vicinity
and to take cover immediately. If you have a basement,
take shelter in the southwest corner, If you have no
basement, go to the opposite corner of your bouse-- the

BRISTOL, Wis. (UPI) The rattle of musketry
echoed off the hillsides and
puffs of white smoke from a
score of blackpowder guns
rolled gently with the wind,
Like a page from the history b<XJks come to life, Civil War soldiers from the
North and South got to·
gether here recently in a
weekend of marksmanship
and historical pageantry.
The event was a two-day
shoot put on by the NorthSouth Skirmish Association,
a national organization of
some 3.000 members dedicated to shooting replicas of
Ctvil War muskets the same
way the original combatants did more than a o:..-entury ago.
Dressed in uniforms that
were historically authentic
down to the last shiny brass
button, teams from WisconHlinois and Michigan
a team title and for
honors in two

days of shooting in hot, humid weather under a blazing sun,
The team champion was
Company A of the 6th Wisconsin Volunteers, an outfit
named after a unit that won
fame and glory as part of
the illustrious Union
Army"s Iron Brigade during
lb€ Civil War.
The members of the 6th
Wisconsin are from
Milwaukee and are known
for their authentic uniforms, which hav€ garnered
several prizes and not even
sultry temperatures that•
pushed into the mid 90s
could make them shed their
hot-looking finery.
"No sir, we take pride in
correct dress,"" ~aid one
member of the Volunteers,
who dropped sweat with
every word. "It"s a matter
of tradition.'"
And than the way it was
for members of the 15 other
units who kept on hats, leggings, long pants and heavy·
looking coats through the

~lfrlstol defers action

on liquor ordinance
By JAMES ROHDE
Staff Writer" ;_- ''f
BRISTOL-A proposed ordinance to prohibit the
transportation, !!llle, or consumption of liquor, beer,
malt or intoxicating
beverages in any public
place in the township was
introduc~d .at Monday
night's meeting of the
Bristol Town Board.
The problem of trying to
exclude the fire department
from the ruling resulted In
the board's referring the ordinance back to town attorney Cecil Rothrock for
modification.
The ordinance has been
discussed for some time
since complaints of alcoholic beverage consumption at
the beaches and the town
ball park resulted in com·
plaints of abusive language
aswellasthelitteringofthe
areas.
Since the ordinance defined a public place as "publie beaches, recreational
areas, athletic fields, public
parks, streets, roadways,
buildings, and any other
places under the jurisdiction
of the Town Board," the
OOard felt that specifying
buildingswouldprohibitthe
fire department from havingbeerinthefirehouse.
The board also eJ<pressed
doubt as to the constable's
ability to enforce a paragraph prohibiting profane
language, which town chairman Earl Hollister said
could be difficult to prove in
court, possibly leading to
false arrest charges against
the township_
The ordinance did not pro·
hibit bona fide groupa,
clubs, associations, lodges,
or homeowner associations
from acquiring special one
day beer licenses for the
sale or consumption of beer
at designated areas of the
George Lake or Lake
Shangri-La beaches or at the
Hanson Park,
Hollister announced that
the board had entered an
agreement with Henry
Poplar, who agreed to
pUrchase 7'h acres of land
in the Industrial park and
take an option on an addi·
tlonal 10 acres.
He said Poplar paid $3,000
earnest money towards the
7¥.1 acre purchase plus an
additional $3,000 on the 10
acre option.
Hollister said the sale
price was set at $4,000 per·
acre, and that. a Btlpulation
wat written Into the agree-

ment, requiring that a
building be coostructed on
the property within one
year. He said Poplar. had
expressed plans to bmld a
10,000 squar,e foot structu~e
duringthehrstpbaseofhls
plans.
In other action, the
board:
-Approved a motion for
the purchase of approximately 30 good citizenship
award ribbons, which will
be presented to children
who assisted in cleaning up
Hansoo Park following the
annual Progress Days celebration.
-Passed a motion rejecting a request for the installation of a stop sign at
the intersection of 199th
Ave. and 82nd St.
-Approved a motion
referring a comprehensive
sewage system plan
p r oPos e d b y t he
Southeastern Wisconsin
R e g ion a I Planning
Commission to the town
planning commission for
study and recommendation.
-Announced that the
township had been notified
bY the Fed e r a 1
Com m U n l c a t i on s
CommiSilion it had granted
the application !or authority
to operate a local
government radio service
system in the township.
-Approved a motion
accepting the deed of a 66
foot roadway (205th Ave.) in
the Oak Arbor Subdivision
on Hy. K , west of Hy _ 45_
The board in!!tructed the
at tor ne y to draft a
resolution for the formal
acceptance of the road to
receive state aid.
Hollister informed the

board that a building
scheduled to be razed on the
I94 frontage road was
delayed hecau_se the. fire
department !S awa!twg
permiss1on
Lim Department o, Natural
Resources.
Under t.':!e new state
ruling, fire departments
planmng to raze abandoned
bmldings must first apply
for a permit from the DNR
before any action IS taken.
Hollister told the board,
""The smte has been after us
to raze that structure on the
D i b h l e property for
sometime. H they won't
give our fire dep<~rtment
permission to burn it, then
they can level it. We're not
goin_g to spend town funds to
h1re a buildozer to clean up
tl1.e area.," he remarked.
He reminded the hoard
that a meeting was
scheduled on Wednesday at
4 p.m. with the developer of
the proposed Chateau Lake
George subdivision in
regard to changing the plans
to include more mult!ple
dwe!lings
The board also has
meetings with the planning
board tonight ar. 7:30p.m. to
review plans on the
proposed fino station, and
withtheTown'sAssociation

Wednesday night at 8 p.m.
In the only other action,
the board denied ~ request
!rom Charles Bizek for
authority to act as constable

attorney informed the board
it was unfeasible without

Land Is Purchased
'"

' Earl Hollister announced
Town Chairman
at the Bristol Town Board meeting that an
agreement had been made with Henry
Poplar, a George Lake resident, who agreed
to purch~seseven and one-half acres of land
in the industrial park and take an option on
an additional 10 acres.
TilE SALE price was set at $4,000 per

acre, and a stipulation was written into the
agreement requiring that a building be
constructed on the property within one year.
Poplarhadexpressed plans to build a 10,1)00-square foot structure during the first phase
of his plans.
Poplar has a gear business elsewhere.
The new structure will not necessarily be of

that type.
Hollister said Poplar paid $3,000 earnest
money towards the purchase plus an addltional $3,000 on the to-acre option.
An ordinance to prohibit the tran·
sportation, sale, or consumption of liquor,
beer, malt or intox.icating beverages in any
public place in the township was introduced
at the meeting.
After discussing the ordinance and
deciding that the paragraph on profanity
would be almost impossible to enforce, and
also that the prohibiting of beer in buildings
was vague, the board referred the ordinance back to Town Atty. Cecil Rothrock
for modification.
THE BOARD rejected a request for the
installation of a stop sign at the intersection
of 199th Ave. and 82nd St., while they accepted the deed of a 66-foot roadway (205th
Ave.) in the Oak Arbor Subdivision on Hwy.
K, west of Hwy. 45
A motion was approved to purchase approx.imately 30 good citizenship award
ribbons, which will be presented to the
children who assisted in deaning up Hanson
Park after the annual Progress Days
celebration.
Hollister informed the board th.ii.t the
razing of a building on the Hl4 frontage road
was delayed because the fire department is
waiting for permission from the Dept. of
NatUl.""al Resources.
Under a new state ruling fire departments
planning to raze abandoned buildings must
;first apply for a permit fro!TI. the DNR

Dairy ' farmer wins battle with state
"

By JAMES ROHDE
Staff Writer

BRISTOL A dairy
farmer in Keoosha County

joihed forces with a city legislator to fight the St.:lte of
Wisconsin, and, believe it or
not, the State bas conceded
the battle.
Russell Mott, a Bristol
Township farmer, has been
fighting the State of Wisconsin generally and the Department of Natural Re50urces (DNR) specifically
during the past two years
over a ruling concerning
well pits.

The DNR orlginally issued an order calling for all
farmers to place their wells
at least 25 feet away from
their cow yards.
Under the order, they
wou!d have had the choice
digging a new we!!
the cow yards

cases. their
25 feet away
origifla! site.
Mott disagreed with the
order stating that. if the well
was chc-i::ked periodically

He also argued with other
s of the ruling which
have made it mandawry for farmers to paint
indoor walls and ceilings once a veu, and insure that
all nilws in the barn were
dust.

"How in the !leek C811 you
operate a dairy farm when
fmve gome jerk from
DNR who bas probably
neva be?.n ln a barn before
comhlff around to cbeclr

your pipes for dust?" Mott
asked.

He said the harrassment
of dairy farmers throughout
the state would only force
more of them out of operation amid already dwindling
numbers.
After a year of little or no
progress, Mott approached
neighboring State Rep.
George Molinaro from
Kenosha mainly because, he
said, he had no one else to

Plans Are Unveiled

foot,

$245,000 town hall and fire station complex

were unveiled at the Bristol Township
public hearing August 26.
Baine, Nelson Inc. of Kenosha presented
the details for the steel building to township
residents who attended the special meeting.
THE COMBINATlON building
!S
proposed to be built on land owned by the
township and is to be directly behind the site
of the present fire station on l90th Ave.
The building, a split level design, is
planned with the fire station to consist of
three vehicle bays, radio room, chief's
office, lounge, kitchen, storage area and
meeting room for 100 persons.
For the town hall section, the plans show a
meeting room for 2.00 people; offices for the
clerk, treasurer and building inspector; a
record vault, board room, storage area and
kitchen.
A fourth bay, next to the town hall would
be a maintenance bay and also !wuse the
snowplow.
THE COMPLEX IS designed for future
growth, making it possible to add one and a
half to two bays to the garage area, as well
as a second floor of living quarters above
the lounge area in the event the department
went to full time personneL
A snorkel unit could be housed also, if one
was ever purchased,
Some 139 people had submitted a petition
to have the fire station located in the
geographic center of the township. Bristol
Frre Chief Bill Bohn disagreed with the
proposal stating, "I don't know how we
could move the fire department out of the
village proper since the majority of men
currently live here."
Town Chairman Earl Hollister supported
Bohn by adding that the Town of Bristol was
the fastest growing area in the township and
the locatron was selected because it was in
the town's sewer and water district.
FINANCING, according to Hollister, will
be over a period of 10 to 20 years and the tax
rate should not be raised over one half miH
during any one year
When asked by Hollister if the town should
go ahead with the building plan and hire an
architect, the group present voted 10 lo one
to proceed with the proposition
When final plans are ready, an annual
meeting will be called to give all Bristol
residents an opportunity to vote on the
project
During the business meeting the board
approved borrowing $75,000 from the First
National Bank of Kenosha for 10 years at
five-and-a-half per cent to finance construction of the iron removal and filtration
plant

A deed for roads m the Oak Farms S\Jb
divisiOn was ac.:epted and Merten's Garage
was authon,;ed to tow abandoned vehicies
off of town property on !90th Ave.

The fact that Mott was
from amother district made
no difference to Molinaro.
The only thing of importance was that Mott felt
he was right in his fight
against the state, and
Molinaro agreed to fight the
battle with him.
'fhey worked together 1il
preparing a resolution
'which was introduced
before the Joint Rules Committee of the Legislature
which, in effect, calls for
existing pump and pit installations which do not
comply with the new code,
to be allowed to continue to
operate as long {l.S they provide adequate and safe supplies of water fit for human
co,nsumption.
The DNR and the Department of Agriculture were
also asked to submit prOposals to the Joint Rules
Committee which would
correct inadequacies of the
present well code. They
have until Aug. 29 to come
up with proposed changes.
"We've got them in the
palm of our hand and we'rt!
not going to release them

Mott declared.

In the operation of child feeding programs, no child

Under the provision of the policy. the manager of

he may make a request either orally or in writing to thoc
administrator, Charles DeLuka, at the school, for a

outline of the hearing procedure.
The school and the district office have copies of the
complete policy, which may be reviewed by any interested
party.

Review Town Hall Plans ,
(Bristol) -~ Baine, Nelson, Inc., of Kenosha, presentecl
preliminary plans for a new town hall and fire station
complex to Bristol township residents at a public hearing
Aug. 26.
Approval was also given to the town board to hire an
architect to prepare final plans for the proposed complex:,
to be constructed directly behind the current fire station
on l90tll Ave., on land owned by tll-J township.
Tl1e complex, estimated to cost $245,000, is designed
a.s a split-level building. The fire slatiofl will include
t11ree vehicle bays, a radio equipment room, a chief's
office, lounge, kitchen, storage area, and meeting room.
The town hall would include a main meeting room, an
office for the clerk, treasurer, and building inspector, a
record vault, board room, storage area and kitchen.
A fourth bay, to be located in the station area, next to
the town hall, would be utilized as a maintenance bay and
lic,rse the snowplow. The building is also designed to
accommodate future growth.
In discussing the disposition of the present town hall,
Earl Hollister, town chairman, said that the township could
sell th.at building to realize some funds. Hollister also

Bohn said the present fadlily wa~ in;tdeqllate for
housing ihe township's six

·'We have only one drain
in the present buildmg mak·
ing it neccessary to wash
vehicles and hoses outdoors,
which is difficult during the
winter months. There are
no facilities currently for
drying the hose," Bohn
added.
Representatives of BainNelson Inc. said that the
building was designed for
future growth, making it
possible to add one and a
half to two bays to the garage area, as well as a second floor of living quarters
above the lounge area in the
event the department went
to full time personnel. They
also mforme.d the audience
that it was designed to hold
a ~norke! unit lf the township purcltaBed one.
Concern over the avail·
able financing was expressed by some residents,
but Hollister told the audience, "l think we can
build thts building by finanring <he cost over a period of !() to 20 years and not
having to raise over one half

Sell Old Building
The disp05ition of the current town hall building
across the road from the
proposed structure was also
questione'.i. Hollister said
he f€lt the township should
b,3 able to sell the building
to realize some funds.
In answer to a question as
to why only a fire station is
being considered, Hollister
satd he felt there would be
less maintenamce and utility el<pense by housing all
town service.~ under one
roof.
After the plans were presented, Hollister told the
audience, ''If we're going to
go any further on the pro,
ject, we'll have to hire an

architect to finalize plans
and get a closer estimate of
final costs."
He said that although the
Town Board was authorized
at the annual meeting to
gain information on a new
town hall-fire station com·
plex, he wanted an indica·
lion from the people prcsenl
last night whether or not th~
board should go ahead.
He asked for a standin~
vote which consisted of a1
approximate ten to on~
margin favoring a go-ahea(
with sil< persons opposin1
the project.
Hollister said that afte
an architect has been hire~
and final plans are pn
pared, an annual meetin
will be called to give Brist(
residents an opportunity t
vote on the project.
During the business mee 1
ing, the board :
- Approved the borro1•

Mrs. Rivera said the l'net Crowe

wrtten extensively on a!! sorts of
weird happenings from ghosts to
UFOs, monsters and other unexplainable happenings.
The Sun-Times story describes
Crowe's first visit to the site. It
reports that "Kay," (Kenoshan
·Kay Parker) told Crowe that a
group of Chicago gangsters bought
a cottage about 11 miles outside
Kenosha just off Hy. 45 in Paris

a weekend drinking spot. Legend
has it that a rival gang found the
site and shot several of the

'Senior Power'

''SeniorPower'' 6u;st!n th~~cene Tuesday, Oct. 1, at the
Lake County Conference for Older Americans held in
Waukegan. Representing an estimated 35,000 persons, the
organization is seen as a new political force hereabouts,
It's probably high time that such a force came into
existance. Not that older people ln this locality have been
getting a raw deal ~ intentionally. It's jllllt that they
frequently have been neglected or overlooked. Special
vehicle sticker rates and free tickets to school events can be
considered recognition of our senior citizens, but they are
tokens compared to the bread and butter problems of health
care, inequitible taxation and transportation.
That's what "Senior Power" is all about. A spokesman
frankly admitted that the PllrJlOSe of bringing the seniors
together is to use voting power to bring pressure to bear to
get senior citizens a square deal. You can hardly blame
them.

Uphold Assessing System
!<"

,,

>(

The state Supreme Court, ina unanimous decision Oct. 1,
upheld the Kenosha County countyv.ide assessor system,
rejecting an appeal from three K!~UOsha County residents,
who challenged the constitutionality of the law.
The three challengers, who initiated th.e appeal on behalf
of ,11 county municipalities, were Charles Thompson,
Bristol, Earl Hollister, Bristol town chairman, and Jack
McLa!ferty, acting president of Paddock Lake when the
suit was filed.
On Aug. 1, 1972, Kenosha County 2-dopled the county
assessor system, which replaces localassessors in munici~
palities with a central county a.s~essing office, Kenosha
County was the first county in the state to do so, under a
1969

state

Bode, on Oct 4, D72, dt'nied a request for an
to halt implementatil'll '-'f the assessor system,
that the rounty board ,,,_d foliowed stale law in the
\lecisJOn to adopt tne plan.

law.

The three plaintiffs contended that the countywide
system violated the state constitutional provision for
uniform town government and that local assessors would
continue to be elected in the rest of the state while Kenosha
County assessors were appointed by the Kenosha County
board.
However, Chief Justice Horace Wilkie, in writing the
decision, stated that each county in the state has an equal
right to decide on adopting a countywide assessor system,
and that residents also have an equal right to participate
in making that decision, by voting for and petitioning county
board members.
Wilkie added that the legislature has recognized assess,
ing as a local function, but, to achieve statewide uniformity,
assessment districts should be large enough to support 3n
adequate and welt-trained staff, and the entire process
should be supervised by the state.
According to the current law, a three-fifths vote of
the county board is needed for _adoption of a countywide
system, but, when Kenosha County adopted lhe system, a
two-thirds vole was required.
The case went to the high court after Circuit Judge

Mr. and Mrs. William Schllt:ten, Sr.

Open house set
Mr. and Mrs. William
Schutzen, Sr., Rt. l, Box 417
Bristol, will celebrate their
golden wedding anniversary
With an open house Saturday from 3 to 7 p.m. at their
home.

Miss Eda Postma married Schutzen in Kenosha on
Oct. 3, 1914. They lived !or
19 years in the city and then
moved to the county.
The couple have three
daughters, Mrs. Hugo
(Jeanette) Hartman,
Bristol; Mrs. Bennett (Violet)
Jurgens,
Gelndale,Ca\if.; Mrs. Peter
(Virginia) Retzinger, Reseda, Calif.; one son, the
late WilHam Schutzen, Jr.,
as well as 20 grandchildren
and 19 great-grandchildren.
Schutzen worked at the
Simmons Co. for 15 years
and farmed at Bristol for 22
years. After retiring the
couple traveled extensively
throu~h the states.

The business looked like this in 1935 when
the Benson Oil Co. was born at the corner uf
Hys. 45 and 56 in Bristol. It was a combined
grocery and gasoline station.

''BRISTOL- Would your dog defend you 1f you were

attacked in your home by a burglar?
Many pets would attempt to defend their homes and
families to the limit of their ability. They are tbe
natural Watchdogs who bark and might bite, according
to Jim Perry, director of training at Pasha Kennels,
Hy. 45. .
Other dogs, even big dogs hke German shepherds,
bark and look ferocious but will cower when directly
challenged. Perry classifies them as "fear biters,"
unsuitable for protection work.
Still others refuse to take anyt\ung seriously They
are always ready to play, undoubtedly the kind of dog
'that licks the hand of the burglar as he makes off with
your TV set and silver. He's a nice pet but rates zero
as a protec.tor.
Concern. about personal attacks and break-ins lS
increasiug the demaud for persoual protection dogs for
the home and guard dogs for business and industry, and
rightly so, according to Perry. Demand !or protection·

Jim Perry, Pasha Kennels trainer, works w1th Irish

setter "Ty'' (McCartney's Tyrone of Tburles), believed
to be the first of his breed in this area to be trained as

a home protection dog.

'There's no problem teaching the dog, lt's teaching
e to handle it that presents problems,"· he said,
tell people in the- beginners training classes that
we should have the people at tht other end of the
leash

To what extent is the owner of a protection dog liable
for possible damages'?

Perry said that in a precedent case in Kenosha about
15 years ago, the courts ruled that tile parties involved
shared the responsibility. In that case, a child was
badly bitten after aggravating a dog.
However, business firms employing his dogs have
been advised by legal counsel that they have a right to
protect their property in any way they wish, he said.
Insurance companies asked only one thing of firms
using the dogs. They insisted that aU outside doors bear
signs reading "Guard Dog on Duty."
Similar signs, Perry advised, should be displayed at
homes and in cars where there are protection dogs.
Don't use signs like "Beware the Dog," which are too
ambiguous. There are also stickers which can be
purchased for home and cars.
·
Do burglars flod ways of circumventing the guard
dogs?
Perry said some have tried bringing in a bitch in
season to distract the male, but this doesn't work whe'n
a male-female team is on duty. Others have tried to
feed poisoned meat to the dogs, but this doesn't work
either when the guard dog is trained to eat only food
offered by the handler or special persons.
Perry bas been working with dogs since he was in
high school and enlisted in the Army to do sentry dog
traming. He completed military police school and was
promoted to instructor, serving in Germany from 1963
to 1966.
Carrently, he serves as director of training and
president of the Kenosha Kennel Club and director of
training for the Milwaukee Great Dane Club,

Consider Sale.of Jndustrial Park
(Bristol)
At a nl<!'eting or-- the Bristol Town Board
Sept. 24,Ear! Hollister, town chairman, raised the possibility
of selling the remaining acreage in the town industrial park to
a private developer. Hollister had received a request from a
person interested in purchasing the property for the
construction of duplexes and asked the town supervisors for
their opinion.
He also raised the question of sel!ing the remainder of the.
park to a private developer or broker, thus allowing the town
to realize an immediate return on its investment in the par~.

TIME IMPORT ANT
Supervisors Noel Elfering and Chester Boyington said
they would like additional time to consider both proposals,
but Hollister asked the board for a decision in the very near
future because the developer of the duplexes will purchase
land elsewhere if the town is not interested.
Hollister added that the only disadvantage of the proposal
is that town would lose local control over the type of industries
in the park,

Dyke Supports Equal
School State Aid: Olson
State Rep. Russ Olson
reports that, after meeting
with Bill Dyke, he has found
the GOP gubernatorial
candidate to be in full
support of equal state aid for
union high school and kindergarten through eighth
grade school districts, such
as the western Kenosha
County school districts.
Olson also said that this is
opposite to the stand taken
by the Lucey-Schreiber
team, who have consistently
opposed equal aid, unless it
was accompanied by a
mandatory reorganization
into huge centralized K·12
systems.
The only opposition to
equal aid in the past session
of the Legislature came
from the governor's office,
and this action of Lucey's
has cost the local district

WASHINGTON (UPll - The Republican Congressional
Campaign Committee newsletter this week offers some
light-hearted guidelines for telling the differences between
Republicans and Democrats;
"Democrats buy most of the books that have been banned
somewhere. Republicans form censorship committees and
read them as a group.
"Republicans consume three-fourths of all the rutabaga
produced in this country. The remainder i_s thrown out.
"RepubUcans usually wear hats and almost always clean
their paint brushes
"Republicans employ exterminators. Democrats step on
the bugs.
"Republican boys date Democratic girls. They plan to
marry Republican girls, but feel they're entitled to a little
fun first.
"Republicans sleep in twin beds-some even in separate
rooms. That is why there are more Democrats."

Local horse is champ
)C

By JIM KORNKVEN
Sports Editor
"Everybody said we were
winning, but I couldn't visualize a National Cham-

pion," Ken Davis, local
raher of Arabian horses,
said of his thought as he sat
at ringside in Albuquerque
two weeks ago.
His son, Ken Jr., had just
finished riding Royal Mace,
a chestnut with a flaxen
mane, around the ring with
the 10 finalists from a field
of the 73 finest Arabian

horses in the United States.
"I wasn't that nervous
when I was in a submarine
during

the

World

War,"

Davis Said, "Just making
the top 10 had been a great

thrilL"

"I heard the ring announc-

er call out the first
number ... Royal Mace was

the only entry wearJng a
300 ...and I knew we had
won .. .I don't remember an-

ything else for the next 2(1
miQutes," Davis said.
Royal Mace, a 10-year-old
Arabian stallion whose
home is a fann just south of
Hy. 5_0 and west of J-94, is an
Arabian Grand National
Champion.
THE HANDSOME horse
had rebounded from an accident-a tragedy for the
Davis Family-that almost
ended his career and took
the life of another Davis
Arabian.
Three of the Davises,
Mrs. Ken (Doris), Scott, 18,
and Barbara, 14. were

headed for the Nationals in
Oklahoma City a year ago
when their trailer suddenly
swayed and tipped over on
t.he highway south of Joliet.

Royal Mace landed on _the
grass at the side of the road.
suffering a hairline fracture
of the jaw. The other horse,
Hanibal, hit the concrete
pavement and died minutes
later.
The loss of Hanibal was
crushing. He had been the
family favorite.
"Every one of our kids
had ridden Hanibal to a
championship. He had won
more than 400 trophies. We
had given up showing
around here because he won
aU the prizes," Davis said
His daughter, Barbara,
had qualified for the N ationals on Hanibal by winning five prestigious shows

back to his stall in Bristol to
live on a carefully select<i'd
diet of soft feed.
"We took him to an outstanding horse vet wb.o advised us to let the jaw heal
on its own," Davis said.
"The accident happened in
August last year, but we
waited until the jaw was
perfectly healed last April
before putting a bit in his
mouth."

his jaw, but it 1S

Volunteer assistance will be extended on an emergency
basis only and does not include emergencies which require
the professional services of the rescue squad or police

emergency baby sitting, meal preparation, transportation for
a doctor's appointment, and other such services, Additional
service will be extended to include friendship and help

The Village Inn, Twin

honored Olson, the 68th

briefly to the guests.
KENNETH

Olson as a man who "always

and has led in the fight for
Union high schools, is a
vigorous proponent of fann
issues, is for local government rather than big city
encroachment and concluded that Wisconsin would
not have the highest taxes in
the land if there were more
Russ Olson's in Madison.
OLSON TOLD the group
why he voted against the
state budget bill. He stated

that because the bill included $791 million in in·
creased spending programs,
instant parole for convicted
criminals and a 58 per cent
mcrease in pay !or

good conscience approve
such a bill.

Olson for Assemblyman
The Standard Press, Westine Report and Westosba
Report were represented on the panel that interviewed the
candidates for assemblyman for the 66th District, and the
vote was unanimous for the incumbent, Russ Olson,
Republican from Bassett.
In citing their reasons, one panelist emphasized the
incumbent's straigh_tforwardness and sincerity. Another
noted that Olson outlined his reasons for his voting pattern
as a fiscal conservative most convincingly. Olson was
articulate in explaining his negative votes on bills that
seemed to be generally app('a!ing, his argument bem:g
that parts of these bills were poorly written. He cited his
vote against the budget as an example.
Olson has fought vigorously for aids to union high
schools, for senior citirens and for vetezans' programs.
Panelists were in agreement that Olson's experience and
record make him the preferred candidate for dealing with
the problems that face the state in the next two years.
We applaud the enthusiasm and ideals of Robert
~paeth, running on the Democratic ticket. He has
conducted an ambitious crunpaign, and WP. sincerely hope
he sustains his interest in community affairs.

Olson Charges Tax Assessor
Office With Disc~imination,,.,

After a recent investigr,tion of the Kenosha County Tax
Assessor's office, State Rep. Russ Olson reports that
practically the whole stalf has spent its entire time
re-assessing areas west r,f I-94.
Olson questions the interest of city officials who were
the real instigators of '.he county tax assessor's system.
If they really wanted fair and equal assessment, why is
the City of Kenosha being completely ignored or being left
until last?
The city has not had a thorough house-to-house assess-

ment since sometime in the 50's, while many of the townships
such as Randall, Wheatland, Bristol and Salem have, in ihe
last, few years, gone through total re-assessment by pro·

fessional assessors, paid for by town tax receipts. City officials must find it hard to defend this action.
Olson said, • Altb.ough most town officials and taxpayers
were firmly against the county assessor's system, they
have adopted a policy of cooperation and ~wait and see;'
but now this action by whoever sets policy for the assessor's
office has made it hard to believe that city officials really
favor fair and equal assessment."
Olson pointed out that the whole state is watching the
operation of Kenosha's County Tax Assessor's office
because it is the first and only such system in the state and
that if this system is going to be used to milk rural townships of their tax funds, it should be oi state-wide interest.

HE CITED the Lucey plan
to force union high schools,
such as Wilmot and Central
to consolidate into K·l2 units
as one example of too much
control
from
central
government.
Dyke has covered 67
counties in his bid to unseat
Lacey and return the
government to the people, he
said.
A graduate of DePauw

Bradley University, Peoria,
and later the University of
Wisconsin Law School where
he received his law degree in
1959.

of Transportation's Urban Transportation Advisory Council,
he has also served as an

advisor to the U.S. Secretary
of State's committee on

THE $649,000 HEADACHE
That's the estimated cost of the proposed industrial
J)a.J:"k the Salem Town Board is trying to palm off on the
Salem townspeople.
If the town board's $649,000 industrial park ever
becomes a reality, woe to the Salem Township taxpayers.
They'll have to assume the liability for this highly speculative and questionable project.
SOME COMPARISONS
The Bristol Industrial Park was organized ten years ago
at a cost of $270,000. The cost includes land, sewers, roads
and water. The industrial sites sell for $4,000 an acre. At
present, eight industries comprise the park. After ten
years of operation, the town still has a $100,000 indebtedness on the park.
The Bristol Industrial Park is located 5 '12 miles from
Salem's proposed industrial park, while the Antioch
Industrial Park is only 2% miles away. Can you conceive of
any sizeable industry paying $"7,400 an acre (estimated
cost of Salem's industrial park sites) as against the $4,000
an acre Bristol is asking? Can you conceive of any sizeable
industry locating here when they can locate at the Antioch
Industrial Park or other industrial sites where industrial
taxes are lower? How can Salem compete with these two
industrial centers?
IN RETROSPECT
At the MarCh 29, 1973, special town meeting called by
the town board, the electors voted against the purchase of
the land for the proposed industrial park. The board
ignored the vote and purchased the land anyway. At the
May 10, 1973, annual town meeting, the citizens voted
overwhelmingly against the development of the park.
- NOV. 5 REFERENDUM
At the April30, 1974, annual town meeting, the .Sa!em
electors approved by vote a referendum to be held on
Nov. 5 election. At this time the Salem townspeople
have an opportunity to vote to sell the 87V. acres the l-awn
board purchased against the will of the people. By their
actions then, the citizens can remove that pesky $649,000
headache.

number given, state your need and the

The FISH movement started in England
in 1961 by an Anglican pastor, lhe Rev
Derek Eastman and a layman, Dr. Donald
Richards. The Rev. Robert Lee Howell of
the Church of the Good Shepherd in West
Springfield, Mass. was the first to establish
a FISH chapter in the United States in 1964
Soon after its formation, FISH took on
present ecumenical character as
churches JOined in its sponsorship.
THE PURPOSE of FISH is to bring back
some old fashioned neighborliness for

others in need.
A year ago, a group of Christian people m
the Westosha area organized a chapter
known as Westosha FISH. It was U1eir in·
tention to gain the support of all Westosha
tovmships. Since enough interest and action
was not obtained to function properly, the
chapter was dissolved.
Many people from the Bristol area were
involved in the Westosha Chapter, so a
planning group decided to f01m a new
chapter, on a smaller scale, to be known as
Bristol Area FISH. The Rev. Cornelius
Kanhai, pastor of Bristol and Wesley
Chapel United Methodist churches was
elected chairperson and Mrs. Rosemary
Horton, member of St. Scholastica Catholic
Church, secretary-treasurer

program for service to the community to be

He or she will have a catagorized list of
persons who have volunteered to assist in
various situations. Volunteer assistance will
be extended on an emergency basis only and
does not include emergencies which require
the professional services of the rescue
squad, police or fire departments. For
example FISH will provide emergency
babysitting, meal preparation, tran·
sportation for a doctor's appointment, etc.
ADDITIONAL service will be extended to
include friendship and help for the elderly
and lonely. For example, Dial-a Visit, per·
sonal visit, house and yard work, shopping
trips, reading, letter writing and tran·
sportation to church and its functions.
FISH sei"Vice is absolutely free to ail

area residents regardless of age, race,

bv NANCY POULER
Do i.urkeys really drown in
a rainstorm .
Norm
Seitz,
farm
mamager of Hawkeye
Turkey Farm, answered
that he hadn't heard of that
one, but he did think they are
the dumbest creatures he
has ever raised.
SEITZ SAID a turkey will
starve to death if its feeding
dish is moved more than
three feet from its accustomed place.
The gobblers are also
cannibals and will -begin
eating one another at the age
of two weeks and therefore
they must be de-beaked at
that tender age or most of
them will get no older.
Newborn chicks are very
delicate, more so than any
other fowl, and the touchiest
to raise, acconting to Seitz.
The four ounce bits of fluff
must be sheltered because
they will sit in the rain and
get pneumonia rather than
go under a roof. Any change
in temperature is also a
danger to them.
THE HAWKEYE Farm
located in Kenosha County
on the Frontage Road of l-94
1s the J.ast turkey raising
facility in southeastern
Wisconsin and has been in
business at that spot for 18
years.
Back in 1955 they moved to
their Bristol site from the
original turkey farm in the
city of Kenosha. Pershing
Shopping Plaza is now on the
land where the turkeys used
to roam
After the move to Bristol
Township, I-94 was built
right through their new
acreage and so once again

they had to re-locate, this
time about one-half mile
west adjacent to the
Frontage Road.
Selling turkeys to local
people through the sales
room at the farm, or
wholesale all over the
United States, the Hawkeye
Farm dresses and freezes
the birds at about five
months of age. Some tom
turkeys reach the weight of
35 pounds in that short time,
although the average is W·22
pounds. They are the fastest
growing of all poultry.
Kenneth Hayes is the busy
owner of this unique all year
long operation, and at
Thanksgiving time is run·
ning around "like a turkey
with its head cut off."

Olson Only Republican
Winner In Ker~;,l?~ha County
Beef farmer Russell Olson from Bassett
was the only Republican to come out a

of the votes cast He won his sixth term as
assemblyman with a margin of 3,486 in
Kenosha County to 3,170 foc Spaeth. In
Radne County, it was Olson, 1,369 to 932 and

We would like to say a few
words about the horrible

LIJese people hav€

been working extremely
hard over the past years for
the growth and progress of
Bristol and we feel they de~erve better working faclliti€S. And we, as part of th1s
community, deserve
privacy in our personal
matters. You cannot go into
the present town hall
without everyone knowing
what you are there for.
For those of you who were
frightened by the $250,000
figure, this is no more than
the levy of one year county
tax to Bristol Township. If
we do not build this new fire

and town hall now,
in a couple of years we will

But to do this is somewhat
like putting the cart before
the horse. In my opinion the
deputles should be fully
trained first then given the
tools to work with, otherwise you might ask
yourself, if I call the
sheriffs department for
emergency ffiedical assistance, will 1 get one that
is or is not trained. If he is
not trained will he know the
possible dangers connected
with the use of excessive
oxygen?
This leads to a point that
involves the state of Wis·
consin and its newly formed
Emergency Medical Service Div.(EMS}. Witlnn a
year or so EMS will be mandatory and will affect every
ambulance and rescue
squad in the state, requiring
that thse services meet certain requirements such as
training, eqmpment and vehicles
I can only guess that if
enforced, the sheriff's department will no longer be
able to use the station wagon type ambulance they
have now and wil! have to
do something to counteract
thi~ situation.

More than 49 per cent of Kenosha County voters
went to the polls Tuesday, about twice as many as
predicted. with speculation that disenchantment
may have been a factor along witil a city library
referendum and two Assembly races.
The turnout was fairly uniform over all of the 12
municipalities in the county, indicating that strictly local issues were not much of a factor in
in!luencing turnout.
&lth city and rural districts turned out about
half, which County Clerk Edward J. Wavro termed
an extremely good result for a non-presidential
election
In the similar election two years ago, a presidential year, 76 per cent was the county turnout which
came close to setting a record

17 cents. This means that
the total marketing margin
has risen by six cents, and

now far lower than it has
been at any time since 1947.
But ... everyone involved

Salem dump to be restricted

Municipalities must find new landfill site
By JERRY KUYPER
Staff Writer
A majority of the villages and townships west of the
City of Kenosha ha,•e a garbage problem.

Wednesday night, representatives of most of the
county municipalities met at the Salem town hall with
members of the County Board's zoning and highway
committees.
Purpose of the meeting was to determine who would
~e

interested in a county landfill site.

Somers Town Chairman Howard Blackmon said his
township was interested.
"We have a year and a half to go on our present site
We have to go somewhere then. We're definitely in·

terested."
Pleasant Prairie Town Clerk Roger Prange said his
township was interested, too.

"In another five years or so we'll have to start
looking for another site."
Currently the township and the city of Kenosha have
an agreement. The city can use 35 acres of township
land for garbage purposes. In return, the city must
operate the site not only for the city, but also for the
toW!lship, which has a 25 acre site next to the city's.
Bristol Not Interested
Bristol Township was not interested. Town Chairman
Earl Hollister said, "Presently we're not interested
and I wouldn't want to say if we Would be or not in five
years. We have made provision for our taxpayers."
Officials from Brighton, Salem, Wheatland and the
Village of Silver Lake all indicated interest.
Mark Starzyk, a Randal! Township supervisor, said
his town would not be interested. "We have another n20 years to go yet on our present site," he said.
There was no representation from the Town of Paris,
and the villages of Twin Lakes and Paddock Lake
Paddock Lake was holding its annual budget meeting.
Salem Town Chairman Maurice Lake spoke for that
village.
"I think it's relatively safe to say they're interested
right now," be said.
Nobody representing the City of Kenosha showed up.
"I guess that means they aren't interested," said
County Board Sup. James Amendola.
Site to Close
The reason for everybody else's interest is mainly
that Salem plans to close its site on Hy. B to everybody
but township residents. Everybody in the area, includ~
ing haulers from Kenosha, used the Salem site in the
past.
Lake said, "We have a 10 year lease on a parce! of
land that is now almost totally filled. We've only
utilized three years of that lease."

"There'll be some trouble "'ith area residents," said
Lake "Nobody wants a \andfiU in their backyard."
Even if they don't they might get one. First, the
zoning committee must make a recommendation, then
the County Board must approve it. If such approval is
gwen. the land would probably be leased to interested
municipalities at a nominal sum, say $1 a year, then
those municipalities would operate the site,
"That means it wouldn't be supported by tax money
people in the county not using it," said Sup.
iS Pitts, chairman of the County Board's highway
cammittee
The vi\ lages and townships would operate it and that
would include a compacting machine, last estimated at
$75,000 in the showroom
tf a site is not forthcumH::g soon. Lake said, the
county mlght have to hire smother 15 or 20 men to pick
the garbage along th.e s•de of the road. "That's

The s1te, if approved by committee and the County
Board, would be restricted to \ocai haulers for Kenosha

Landfill Site

(Salem) -~ On Nov,' ZO, representatives of many of the
municipalities in Kenosha County met at the Salem town
hall with members of the county board zoning and highway
committees to consider the possibility of a county landfill
site.
Of those municipalities which were represented, interest
was expressed by officials from the townships of Somers,
Pleasant Prairie, Brighton, Salem, Wheatland, and the
villages of Silver Lake and Twin Lakes. Representatives of
Bristol and Randall townships indicated that they currently
have no Interest in such a project.
There was no representation from the villages of Paddock
Lake, but Maurice Lake, Salem town Chairman, indicated
that the village of Paddock Lake, which was holding its
annual budget meeting that evening, would probably be
interested in a county landfill site,
Part of the interest in a county landfill site stems from
concern about the Salem landfill site, Which may be closed
to everyone but township residents. In the past, other
municipalities have utilized the Salem site, but Lake said
that the land is now almost totally filled.
Zoning committee chairman Stanley Kerkman suggested
50 acres of county land on Hwy. NN, near Hwy. K in Brighton
Township, as a possibl€ sit€ for the'county landfill. TI1e site
is located a quarter-mile away from any resid€nc€ and a
quarter-mile off the road and is surrounded by trees
and owned by the county,
Regarding the county landfill, the zoning committee
must first make a recommendation, and then the county
board must approve it. lf such an approval Is given, the
land would probably be leased to interested municipalities,
and those municipalities would then operate the site.
If a county landfill site were approved by the zoning
committee and the county board, the site would be restricted to local haulers, for Kenosha County refuse and

J

MOUNT PLEASANT For the first time in :rl or
more years. Mount Pleaslint Township in Racine
County just north of Somers
will levy a town tax.
Henry Rohner. town
chairman, annonced this
week that a two mill town
tax will be levied for general town operations in 1975.
He said the tax will be
needed to raise $1l8,996 for
the general fund. He blamed
nsing costs and the state's
new method <of revenue distribution. which lowered the
township's revene~, for the
Jack of funds neec;led to operate the township.

Rohner was critical of the
state's population estimate
for fue township of 17,084
persons, a reduction of 372
since 1973. He said the town
issued occupancy permits
for 120 apartments and 112
new homes during this period.
The state allocates $35
per person to the
municipality under ilie present revenue distribution
program Under the old
plan. Rohnn said. 20 to 25
per cent of the personal in<'Ome tax paid to the state
was returned to the township which was sufficient to
cover town expenses.

not quite 300 turned out
when tllere was a vote on

whether a new fire station

should be built. It was voted
down. much to my regret.
Bristol is a progressive

things tllat happened this
year was when the Kenosha

Going back to the needs

out that U!e Rescue Squad

proved the difference
almost between life and

At the close of the Oct, 10, 1974, town board meeting,
speaking on the land for the proposed industrial park that

Maurice Lake said: "We'll abide by the decision of the
voters. If they want us to sell it, we'll sell it, If they want
us to develop it we'll develop it," (Kenosha News, Oct, 11,

To tbe Editor: , , 1
BRISTOL - We have
been asked why are we
ag;~inst the new town hall·
fire complex that Bristol is
contemplating.
I. We are not against a
new fire halL We just want
to know some facts before
we vote "yes ·
2. The town meeting on
this building brought out
many questions of which
few were answered, only
because the issues were not
thoroughly investigated as
to all aspects.
3. To quote Proud Citizen
of Bristol. "All who voted
against this issue are
fools!" Why? Because we
want to know more pertinent facts before w~ agree
to a large proposal as this.
4. No one feels more
proud of our hard working,
dt'diated, knowledgeable,
diligent fire and rescue
men They are doing an excellent and commendable
job. I know they will re·
spond to any call regardless
of place or person. All they
need to know is that they
are needed, and they will be
there
5. We will continue to
speak out. lf we verbally
step on toes, it is because
we are concerned about pre.
sent issues. We do not now,
nor will we ever, hold any
·~nimosity toward a person
with a different viewpoint. I
only hope Proud Citizen can
·come to understand this.
6. 4s to tlle future site,
many people are upset with
the_ present loation. Then'
why not put it on or near tlle

industrial park? But !et'g
get it where there is room tll
park and perhaps expatld.
again in the near future. ft
perhaps will cost more. but
if we are going to build, let's
look to the future and not
just look at the present volunteer status
7. Let's not condemn
those that are reticent at
this time. Let's get all the
facts and data in on all the
issues.
8. We love Bristol because
it is a nice place to live i!!!l
work. We will stay and hope
to help make it even bigger
and better

$60 million, he said, altho his staff said that their fiscal year
11174 figures are not yet complete for the PXs. Amung the

R1s awointment was announced today by Paul Affeldt, Sparta, Wis., presi·
dent of the region board
which met here.
With the selection of its
top management official,
Affeldt said the board followed the directive of the
asSociation's Corporate
Board, which last week authorized a deCEntraU:w.tion
of':the multi·billion dollar
dairy cooperative through
~-principle of federation.
Affeldt and Walter
Kirchner, Chicago, associate regional manager,

have been designated to
work with representatives
of tile two other regiollll to
develop the working plan of

Van Liere said a federated c!Kip structure would
preserve the C!Kip's strong
financial status while allowing the MidStates Region to
concentrate on its milk
marketing activities by
serving both the dairy
farmers and the buyers in
the huge Chicago Milk Market.
Last year, the 18,500 dairy
farmers in the region pro-duced nearly 7 billion
pounds of milk, accounting
for sales of $600 million. The
region has members in Wisconsin, Illirlois, Indiana,

To Ute Editor:
As a SOuth Bnstol resi·

sneers we've gotten over
how irre''elent our Town
Board and volnteer departments are.
Well, to all of you jokers,
may you never have a loved
one experiencing a heart attack or a child trapped in a
burning building.
These men volunteer to go
out in any kit1d of weather
any time of the day or night
because they care. lt"s a
shame some unfeeling people don't apprec}ate them
As far as our Town Bo~rd
is conoerned, "ho in the
world has the right to complain about a board like
our~·~ They have !ought to
krep our taxes down while
Sl!H providing for our convenience.~. When the oewer
proposal was brought up for
Lake George, everyone
Jnught it because it cost tJo
much. Then when the
sewers were put Jn later,
gripes were heard because
the cost had risen
Now the fight's on again
We need a new town hall

teel these people who have
spported us desen·e this
new hall? is It L~ for the

has done ail he can to 1\:eep
our taxes down. Are '"e
going to be too cheap to help

Salem Couple Turns Old Mink
Barn Into Private Museum

WEST OSHA REPORT Wed., Dec, ll, 1974
Page 7

BY WALLY E. SCHULZ
(Salem) -- Gilbert Tuttle and his wife, Who live on a
fa:rm nea:r Salem, have turned an old mink drying and shipping room, on the discontinued mink-raising· farm, into a
museum, The r.ouple have spent many years hunting for
Indian arrO\v heads, stone axes and other Indian weapons
since they were kids,
Toda;:, they have built up one of the mosi amazing collections in ttle area. He likes to share his collection wilh
the public, too, so he often gives t:l.Jks and lectures at
schools and clubs.
"But I've had to slow down since I suffered a heart
attack in 1960," said Tuttle. "I don't give as many lectures
as I'm called to do, The heart attack forced me to give up
mink raising, and my son-in-law and daughter wok over.
Now ttley've left it, too."
The Saiem couple have traveled all over ltlis nation in
search of Indian relics, They've also visited many Indian
reservations and claim the Indians to be the nicest people
you'd like to befriend. Their home and museum bulges at
the seams with Indian treasures of all kinds, which they've
discovered all over the nation.
ANTIQUE COLLECTION
Among their interesting collection of antiques is an old
Baldwin organ, Which is the only one Tuttle has ever seen.
It slides up to another organ or piano.
"It takes a 65-note-roll, instead of the customary
88-note,~ said Tuttle, "I found this old Baldwin in a muse11m
that folded up. You pump the organ, and it fingers the keys
of the organ or piano to which it is connected. It is an
'1878 model and rolls for it are hard to find. 1 found one a\
Mukwonago for 50 cents. If the seller had known its adual
worth, he would have charged $5.~
He also has a Celestaina, which he winds and plays,
and music comes out like organ grinder music. It's an
1874 model, and you operate it by hand. It was made in tlw
United States,
«This instrument uses rolls, too, and lhey are hard lo
find," said Tuttle, "l was lucky to find some rolls for it on
my travels and searching around. It operates on paper rolls,
and I found mine in Mukwonago, •
Another fascinating music-maker is the "Regina Musir
Box,~ made in 1800, It is folded up and looks like a tlny
casket sitting on the table. It plays a28-inch diameter disc,
The older discs are made out of sheet metal, and the newer
ones were made out of brass in 1900,
"The box is made of cherrywood, and I follnd it ir: an

"I'm a self-taught beadworker and have studied many books
on the subject, which I've gotten from libraries."
Up in their museum, which was formerly the In ink-drying

and sea shells. There's also 450 varieties of rocks and
minerals. The special visitors can browse for the hour and
not see all the collection.

said Mrs, Tuttle. "I like to come and sit in that old rocking

On the table sits a soup ladle and tureen, Which used to
belong to her grandmot11er and is about 75years old, An old
couch, symbolic of that period, is placed nearby, which was
gotten from an old settler in the Salem area.
In another section of the museum are old pioneer tools,
old musical instruments, old type11T\ters, pipes and a ci~·ar
press for Pressing cigar5. You're liable to find just abou!
anything imaginable up in the Tuttle museum.
Many schools and c.\urches in tile area have had the
privilere of hearing Tuttle speak on his Indian collection
of relics and tools and clothing.
"But I'm off collectmg so much of the time, !haven't
got too much time for speaking engagements anymore," said
Tuttle. "I have a couple who lives at my place wben I am
gone."
DISPLAYED IN MUSEUMS
Some of the pieces in the Tuttle collection have been on
display in the Milwaukee and Green Bay museums.
"An Indian ceremonial piece is one such piece, which my
dad found as a youngster," said Tuttle. "This stone ha.~
holes drilled throurh it, and we've never seen another one
like it. It's plenty rilre and valuable,"
An unusual relic used by Indians in the state of Florida
long ago was referred to as a "digger." They used it to diz

this old tool to be B.C.
During the winter months, Tuttle spends his time doill6
some of his authentic headwork. The hours fly by for him,
as the llldian pieceo; seem to com€ to life- in an authentic
manner.
"We sure enjoy searching the countryside for old items,"
said Mrs. Tuttle. "Many of our old furniture pieces have
been found right here in southern Wisconsin. We've found
them in Old houses, attics, cellars and sheds. There's
never a dull moment in our lives as we scour the state and
nation for old Indian things and antiques.~·

(Kenosha) -- The Kenosha County American Revolution Bicentennial Commission met Monday, Nov. 25, at
the Kenosha Woman's Club.
Nicholas C. Burckel, commission secretary, reported
that the Smithsonian Institution was preparing a variety of
traveling exhibits which local communities can nmt for
three weeks for approKimately $150-$250 per exhibit. The
Wisconsin ARBC has akeady lmoked four of these for the
summer of 1975, and Edwin Andersen, commission chairman, has requested that two of these_ be shown in the

Kenosha area. These exhibits are self-contained and need
only be uncrated and displayed.
-Burckel also reported that Parkside is attempting to
negutiate directly with the Smithsonian for two displays tb
"be &vailable dudng the frrst few months of 1976. It was
decided that the Heritage Committee should undertake
the responsibility for contacting local banks and businesses with the intent of independently funding some
'-exhibits. Burckel was to receive a report of the inquiry, so
-:that displays might be hooked.
FREEDOM TRAIN
Andersen reported that he had repeatedly inquired
about the possibility of having the Freedom Train stop
Kenosha and Racine on its way between GQicago, IlL, a
Milwaukee. As yet, he has received no response to his
letterll. He also reported that he had written to the Navy to
investigate the possibility of "Old Ironsides" touring the
Great Lakes. Although no plans for such a tour have been
confirmed, the Navy did promise to keep him abreast of
•developments .
.. -·. Andersen also noted that Burckel had agreed to serve
aS histodan for the commission and directed the member'"ship to keep him informed of activities so there will be a
'inofe complete record than the minutes afford .
. _, "Mrs. Frances Jaeschke, the only subcommittee
(:hainnan present, gave a summary report and plan of
action for the Festival Subcommittee. Specifically, she
asked that the commission print certificates of appreciation
for individuals who have pedormed services on behalf of

Bicentennial, to be availabl-e early in 1975.
In addition, she mentioned that the Chamber ol
has agreed to provide Lelephone service for
scheduling of events, the speakers' bureau, location of
Bicentennial events and per~<:>ns to contact to assist
organizations in implementing their ideas. She also asked
~val to add members to f. he Festival Subcommittee

April 29, 1974, which asked the cnunty board t.o designate

Over wei! pi! requirements

Kenosha farmer battles D N R
'('

By JAMES ROHDE
Staff Writer
BRISTOL - A modern
day version of the Biblical
story of David and Goliath
IS currently taking place in
Kenosha County involving
Russell Mott, a gentleman
dairy fanner from Bristol,
as David battling his
Golia;th in the form of the
State of Wisconsin, more
specifically the Department
of Natural Resources.
Mott, who operates an office supply business in Chicago, also owns a dairy
farm in Bristol Township
which produces over 2,0()0
pounds of milk daily from
his herd of 70 milkers.
The farm is a hobby, so to
speak,· that provides Mott
with relaxation from the
business World and an opportunity to work outdoors
and to be close to nature
when time permits
Because of his business
requirements, the farm is
operated by hired hands
With the grade A milk produced at the Bristol site
shipped to Spinney Run in
Libertyville, Til.
Mott's problem began over two years ago when representatives from the Department of Natural Resourees inspected his dairy
operation and threatened to
remove his grade A milk
pennit because of the exsistence of a well pit less
than five feet from his cow·
yards.

• t r-"';'

Safeguards Apparent

The fact that hts weB 1s
completely enclosed
reinforced concrete;
land around the water
source is sloped away; the
well is over 165 feet down
through blue clay and has
been operating for over 2~
years without any proof of
contamination made no dll·
ference to the state representatives.
Their basis for threatening to remove the permit
was due to the location of
the well pit, not the purity
of the water which, according to the state code, mus:
he located a minimum of 2~
feet from any cowyard or
septic system
The ironic part of this
whole situation, which affects Mott as well as other
dairy farmers, restauran;s,
motels, tavems, filling stations or any otller places of
business that .~erve the public with the exception of wdustrial plants, IJosp
and detentiOn hGmes,
that he was actually willmg
to cGmply with the code and
ordered a new well constructed until the state r

He said that Molinaro told
the Department of Health
that he (Mollnaro) was instrumental in the drafting
of the first well code over 20
years ago. "Don't you think
tbat in 20 years we cuuld
have made a few mistakes
and should review it," he
quoted Molinaro as saying.
''Our position is to leave
all existing wells wherever
they are located and to have
water samples tested once a
month to determine if the
water is safe for human
consumption. The state· of
:"'ew York tests their
samples every six months
without problems," Mott
explained
"The state told us that
water testing was no
criteria !ur sa!e water. If
that's really their positiun,
then why do they presently
require water testing every
two years. It doesn't make
sense," he added.

"We ship over 2,000
pounds of Grade A milk a
day which 1s tested by the
dairy on arrival. If we sent
m a batch that was con"
taminated the whole load
would be dumped and they
would have examiners at
my !ann within hours to determine where the con"
taminalion came from,"
Mott said.
Although the battle is far
from over, it appears that
some progress is being
made if only the state agencies can get together and
work out a solution that the
farmers and businessmen of
the state cJn live and work
with.
If nothing else is accomplished, Matt and his at.·
torney have found that
although the state claims it
adopted the Pasteurized
Milk Ordinance (PMOJ, in
effect the state only adopted

the enforcement standard
rather than the standard
Uself.
"All we are really uklng
Is that wC put some common sense back Into our
every day l!ving, and amen·
ding the well construction
code is not going to violate
the PMO or destroy our out
of state milk markets,"
Matt told the Joint Committee for Review of Administrative Hules when he ap·
peared before it on April 16
of this year
"l have discussed this
matter over the telephone
with the Federal Food and
Drug Administration in Chicagu and was told that the
PMO was the standard that
was used in interstate
shipments. that the Hedlund
Dairies out of Chicago use

about the well codes of the
State of Wisconsin.
"I think what it all boils
down to is the theory of an

Olson said he supported
suspension of the rule to see
whether the federal govern·

interstate shipment of pure,
inspected Wisconsin milk.
"State agencies have delendect the well code, s:J.ying
that any relaxaUon could
Jeopardize interstate milk
shipments," Olson sJid. ''After the hearing a year
ago, it was apparent there
were not enough votes on
the C~)mrrnttee to su.~pend

Olson said he .1sked farm
organization representatives to meet with the
state agenctes and attempt
to reach a compromise beneficial to farmers
After several meetings, it
was agreed to eliminate the
1956 date which would then
:tllow noncomplymg well
p1ts to be brought into compliance. Olson said.

Bureau and the Department

bought this compromose with the reserval!on that we could fight for
more flexibility when the
well code came be!ore the
1975 Legisbture for comreviSIOn. I had a rnaof the committee
committed to spport it."
"Mr Mott and Rep,
Molinary rejected the compromise saylng it did
nothing. They may have
been nght, but the real test
wJ!l be how it was inlerpn~ted and how it was
enfor~ed by the Department
of Agricultre."
The committee withheld
action because o! Mott's
and Molmaro's objections,
Olson said.
"Molt's determinatwn is
admirable," said Olson,
''but hrs critici~m of the
-··--""·--~.

Farm Bureau and myself is
completely unjustified.
"If this compromise
would benefit 3,000 farmers,
lt should at least be tried,"
Olson said.
Olson said he told Matt at
an AMPI meeting nearly
two years ago that the well
code would not be corrected
unless dairy farmers had
statewide support, and to
get statewide support they
needed a united effort by
!arm organizations.
Olson said he though factors that played a part in a
change ofattitude by some
committee members was
the arrogance of state agency representatives, the fact
that the well ende is has
really not been enforced
during all the time thisquestion has been before the
comittee wrth no resultant
cutoff of milk shipments,
the off-the-record
statements by dairy co--op
representatives that they
drd not want to rock the boat
for fear of retaliation by
state agenc1es in the form
of different inspections and
the DNR"s inability to jnstify wme of the well code
provrswns.
Olson said three of the
follr Republican members
and one of the five Democrats have indicated they
may take action on the
original proposaL
Olson pointed out that any
action taken by this com·
m1ttee would only be temporary and would have to be
reaffirmed by the 1975 Legislature
Mott said, "l doubt if you
will see any further harrassment of dairy farmers
since the Legislature is
going to rewrite the code so
that dairy farmers C-ln continue to operate Witbo;.:t
bemg forced out of busines-s,
"1 am sure the new code
will provide for some type
ol testing of the wells to
msure the purity of water,

BRISTOL - A man who
foqht the state of Wiecon•ln for two years before

making the bureaucracy
back down !1 not about to

stand still for remarks
made by his legislative assemblyman.
Russell Mott, a dairy
farmer and businessman
from Bristol, who fought
the state over a well pit
code he felt was unjust and
proved it, disa.srees With
State Rep. Russell Olson's
(66th District) comments

on

a

recent

legislative

meeting in Madison.
Last week, the two year
battle reached a climax
when the joint legislative
rules committee met and
deferred action on Matt's
petition to leave all exsisting farm wells intact until a
new well code could be
drafted and approved.
During that meeting, the

committee also agreed to
throw out a compromise
plan agreed upon by everyone except the main principals, Mott and State Rep,

George Molinaro,

D~

Kenosha.
The compromise, to remove the Jan. 1, 1956, effec. 7Uve ~te- from_ the well
code, offiy reqwred farmers

such as Mntt to comply with
NR12.15 which meant they
would have had to reconstruct thelr well pits to
conform with the well code.
"That compromise
reached by Olson, the Farm
Bureau and the DNR was
totally unacceptable to
Molinaro and myself," Mott
remarked.
Mott stated that in an
article about this meeeting
in tbe Kenosha New~. Olson
said that "I accused him of
faiHng to act on behalf of
the farmers which is untrue. I never stated anything of the sort. In both
articles written on the issue, I told only what
Molinaro was doing not
what Olson failed to do.
"He also stated in that
article that my 'critism of
him and the Farm Bureau
was unjustified.' I never
criticized him or the Farm
Bureau.
"The only reference I ever made to the Farm Bureau was in an article which
appeared in the Oct. 4 issue
of the News in which I said
that I got no cooperation
from any farm oriented

group !ncltu.!lng the Farm

Bureau, the National
Farmers Organization or
the American Milk Pro·
duces Institut<' Mott retorted
