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 1g 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.

Kenosha County has entered the 22nd district state
race with a call for "faith in the future."
·
Maurer, 52, of 5010- 76th St., Kenosha, announced
: he wHl run in the Deffiocratic primary on Feb. 18.
He is the fourth Democrat to seek the Senate seat
vacated by Douglas LaFollette, newiy..:eiected secretary of
state.
So far, no Republican candidate has emerged in the
contest for the remaining two years of LaFollette's term.
This is Maurer's second bid for the state Senate post,
which covers Kenosha- County and parts of Racine and
Walworth counties.
In 1972, he was runner-up to LaFollette in a five-man
·
field in the Democratic primary.
Maurer has been chairman of fast-growing Pleasant
Prairie, Wisconsin's third largest township, for the past
six years. He has been a<;.tive in township affairs for 14
years, first serving on the town board in 1961-63.
"Right now, more than anything, we need leaders wit!l ,
faith in the future," Maurer said.
"All my life, I've been an optimistic person. I am
convinced that we can build a better future for our families, ,
our state and our communities. And I'm ready to put in 16
' h. ours a day in Madison to make it happen.""
Maurer said his primary goal is to "make state government work" for citizens of the 22nd district and all of Wis, consin. He explained:
"Many people today are convincedthatgovernmentworks
against them-- not for them. Inmanycases, they are right.
"We need a much better performance for our tax
dollars. The key is to send representatives to Madison who
have a broad, working knowledge of government at :-aw;.
levels,'"
; _;jy
Maurer said the same principles that producedefficif#ltj_:;:.:
responsive goverrunent for 13,000 people in Plea~
Prairie are badly needed in Madison.
: \;
Maurer pledged "a hard-working, fair-minded, cqmni~:-_
sense'" approach to issues facing the Legislature,

1950. He is a-member of a pioneer Kenosha County fam1[it1;;:-::
llfelong county resident and married to the former Marie~
Bothe, of Kenosha.
'
The Democratic candidate commanded a B-24 bomber
in Italy during World War ll and attended Marquette
University for four years.
He is former chairman of the United Air Lines Council
of the Air Line Pilots Assn. (AFL-CIO) in Chicago. He also
is vice-chairman of the Wisconsin Council on Aeronautics,
board member of the Wisconsin Suburban League and the
Wisconsin Towns Assn. and former board member of the
Kenosha County Democratic party.
With layoffs spreading, Maurer said that state government must "take all reasonable steps to restore a healthy
economy." He also urged an end to the one-week waiting
period for unemployment compensation to ease the "crushtng
effect" on families.
Taxes were singled out by Maurer as a major element
in soaring inflation. He said, "The rapid rise in the cost
of government must be halted by carefully trimming wasteful, non-essential services."
Maurer said that the burden of financing public schools
should be shifted quicldy to where it belongs-- state government rather than local property taxpayers.
Maurer favors new laws to "dignify public employees
with a fair solution to their salary problems"' and avoid
bitter local disputes.
Maurer noted the renewed pressure to consolidate or
close parts of the University of Wisconsin system. He
pledged vigorous support for UW-Parkside, calling it ~vi~
to the progress of southeastern Wisconsin and toopportunffi
ties for our young people."
h<
To restore confidence in government after the Waterg~--:_
', tragedy, Maurer said that all elected officials must demttii.+t ·
-strate "the mdepe!ld.ence and courage to resist spet:i.al
interests."

BRISTOL - Total' opposition to the governor's proposed budget, which would
cut state shared tax revenues to towns and villages,
was expressed today by
Earl Hollister, Bristol town
chairman and head •of the
Kenosha County Towns Associatiort
~
·Hollister sBid he con~
siders the governor's proposaJ discrimmatory, espe-cially since it calls for a cut
in funds to towns and villages, while 'J\]nneling the
added revenue into cities.
"The state is putting
more of a burden on rural
U.Xltayers bY requiring
the, . to finance the cost of
services provided In the
cities from which they re·
ceive little or no benefit,"
Hollister said.
"Kenosha Coubty residents are already discriminated against with the
lower state aids provided
· for K-8 and Union High
Schools as compared to
those awarded to unified
and K-12 districts. With the
power equalization factor
starting to take effect in the
rural schhool districts and
the proposed cut in shared
tax returns, the governor
will tax property owners
right off their land.
"It's just another step
towards eliminating town
goverrunent completely, as
well as eliminating local
control of the school sys-.
terns>"
Hollister pointed out that
under the governor's proposed budget, every munici~
pality iil Kenosha ·county

..

west of the ciiy would suffei
a- loss in state tax returns,
"The eight townships aM_,three villages in Kenoslili:
County would lose an estlmated $844,684 under the
proposed budget at a time
when they're being•required.
to provide more servicet.
"In the prOposed highway
jurisdictional plan for 1990:,
it is proposed that more
miles will be taken over by ,
the towns and Villages,
Hollister continued. "Yet
the governor proposes re;ducing our share of tax
funds. How does he expect
us to pay for the ma'intenance of these roads?"

Last minute predictions of a heavy voter turno·ut
in Tuesday's primary came true as more than
11,000 county voters went to the polls.
The hotly contested Democratic primary for the
State Senate seat was given the credit for pulling
more than the usual 6,000 or 7,000 votes tallied in
the off-year primary.
The total turnout came to 23.6 per cent coun·
tywide. Only: about 22 per cent of city voters went
to the polls. The heavier rural vote was laid to
several primaries fortop municipal posts in town
and village governments

TotheEditor, ,3--,:)J.~?J, ..
The winter crisis of 1975 is
now more than two months
old.- Solutions are just as far
beyond the horizon as they
were at the first dawn of
January, Some in both
parties seem to approach
such wrenching problems as
inflation, recession, energy
and loads of unemployment
with an eye on the partisan
ballots of 1976<
Each of them acts as
though the most important
thing in today's world is to·
try to make certain that the
-other gets no political profit
out of our present sad state
of affairs.
Under the circumstances
it is timely to recall 1933
and the first 100 days of the
Fhulklin D. Roosevelt ad~
ministration.
That too was an era of
anxiety. But government
moved in. The White House
and 'Congress united to do a
job. Whether they did right
or wrong has been a matter
of debate ever since but the
point is that things were
done. True we had a divided
government in those days
but a Democratic president
and a Democratic congress
worked together as one
What will come of all this,
I ask. Who knows, but it
certainly isn't working in
1975. Not with a disgruntled

To the Editor~
"I -pledge allegiance to

of America.,." And with the
ring of these words in my
ears and the, thrill that
causes me to quiver inside
at the thought and privilege
of being a:n American, I and
over 300 people of Bristol
Township gave attention to
our very capable school ad*
ministrator, Mr. Virgil Hecob, as he introduced over
20 candidates for elected
positions of our township
ahd school board.
~y I fi-rst express a sineire word of thanks to the
fflidents of 'Bristol TownShip for your tremendous
tesponse to- -this special
forum. I was very en-~
couraged by your willingness to 'be involved.
Having the privilege of
knowing personally many of
our elected officials and
some of the challenging
candidates, I find it difficult
to choose between them. I
believe that each one will do
the very best he or she can
as each serves our township, There will always be
differences in Opinions and
foresight, but I believe that

AN OPEN LETTER
TO BRISTOL VOlERS
the beginning of the current campaign for Bristol Town Chairman many Bristol
ters, such as myself, were very willing to listen to the man running against Earl
ollister the incumbent chairman. After all, Earl has been
office a long time.
Jthough experience is important in thai job, I was interested in what his opponent
1ad to say about the issues. Many voters in Bristol have known and liked the man
.·unning against Earl. Many of us felt tom between our friendship for Noel, and our
friendship and respect for Earl Hollister, and
job he has done.
It seemed to me however, that as the campaign went on, Noel and his supporters
got owoy from the issues of the campaign. They instead tended to use any and all
tactics for the sole purpose of winning. Their game seems to be: "Win" no matter
how you do it. I don't like this kind of attitude.
It seems they have started rumors claiming everything from bankruptcy to you name
it. They have torn down Earl's campaign posters. Those posters they left up they
smeared with paint. This doesn't seem to many of us to be the type of people we
wont running Bristol Township.

Many feel that Noel has not been personally involved
these tactics. I agree. What
troubles me is that he has not taken a stand against them. He has not spoken out
to put a stop to such behavior. With all the very great problems that town
governments will be facing oil across the covnlry in the ned few years, we in Bristol
can not afford someone who allows himself to become involved in small and petty
situations. Bristol needs Earl Hol!isler.
All of this is of course my own opinion. Bristol voters must decide in their own minds
which man better represents what !hey want for Bristol's future. As for me I think
Earl's opponent has greatly discredited himself during these iast few weeks of the
campaign. I hove made vp' my mind to vole for Earl Hollister. Earl's experience,
integrity, and proven ability me too volvable for Bristol to lose.

All of the offices in the six Kenosha townships west of I·
94 will be vacated this month, but only three of the town·
ships - Bristol, Salem and Wheatland - have a number of
contests in Tuesday's election.
Brighton and Paris candidates are unopposed, and
Randall's only race is the three-way .competition for two
constable posts.
Most of the attention is focused •on the town chairman
races where incumbent Earl Hollister of Bristol is being
challenged by two-term supervisor, Noel Elfering~ Salem's
incUmbent chairman Maurice Lake has strong competition
from newcomer Ed Homer, who led the four-way primary

Voter ~'"'"out

A prediction of heavy turnouts in several rural
areas materialized, in Tuesday's election, bringing
, totals believed unprecedented in non-presidential

'election years.
The county's total voter turnout was 27,031, or
48,5 per cent of those registered to vote.
In all six of the townships and villages with hotly
contested local races·-Bristol, Salem, Wheatland,
PaddoCk Lake, Silver Lake and Twin Lakes-more
than 60 per cent of the registered voters went to
the polls
'l'he heavy dty vote was due to the special
election for state Senator, as well as two school
advisory referenda and Ule filling of two School
Board posts.
Nearly half, 44.3 per cent, of the city's registered
voters pulled back the election machine arm. In
the February primary, only 22.1 per cent voted,
close to the county·wide turnout that month which
was also believed to be high for an off¥year
, primary,

t he told Mrs. Hansche that Mr. Hollister was using the Achievement

Comments to the

BRISTOL TOWNSHIP

''JUNK M IL''
In regards to the junk ffiail that was sent to the editor of the Kenosha

News stating that the only people who get it are those that can be
brainwashed, And that the letters are not accurate. The claims are out of
proportion.
The correct information is that the letters are not out of proportion, they
are not trying to brainwash the people, but only giving you the information
that you as a citizen need.

Also stating that the Planning Board is out of order because it has not
had a change on the board, Qnly two in the past four years. An mdividual's
term lasts for three years. He may succeed himself again if he so desires
and is appointed by the Chairman and confirmed by the two supervisors,
which they, have done. The members have done an excellent job planning
and laying out the programs for the community of Bristol Township. and
I think they should be commended for the job they have done. The ¥{01'~
not easy on a Planning Board. Everyone does not ·want to serve ott
because he just does not have the time. People have been asked and. them
has been no complaint by Mr, Elfering to anyone. If I was to say that many
things are inaccurate in what is going on in our town hall, and we need a
Chairman who,Js. moreJnterested in the people than our present Chatrman,
I would hate to think that Mr. Noel Elfering is more qualified to fill this
job,
Due to the fact, Ladies and Gentlemen, he admitted the other evening
that he told Mrs. Hansche that Mr. Hollister was using the Achievement
Center as a political footbalL He made a Statement that he wanted the
Center placed up around the Bristol Grade SchooL He never brought this
up at a Village Meeting at anytime. He never complained about the
situation being other than his constituents stated that they were against it
going into the Industrial District, because that was used to help defray their
taxes,
It makes no difference where this particular piece of property would have
gone, the same tax basis would have been lost because it is a tax free
institution.
At the meeting in which he voted for the acceptance of the Achievement
Center I asked him after the meeting why he voted for it At that hme, and
not at the first meeting, he stated he had his constituents in the aud1ence
and they never voiced a single complaint against it going in, so he felt that
if they couldn't complain why should he do so. This, to me, does not qualify
a man to be Chairman of a Town where a decision has to be made and
letting 4 or 5 people, whom he calls his constituents help him make his
decisiop, and to make the other people in the community abide by it

You want by his sman innuendOs th'at he is so .great in passing on in-telling
you that these are the things that are needed for the community.
He also belittles our Fire Department and our Rescue Department_ I
thank God that we have got them. I have seen the work they have done. I'm
proud to be a member of Bristol township to have a Rescue Squad that is
capable of taking care of anyone. These gentlemen have done this on their
own time. The township of Bristol has not paid one penny towards their
schooling. We are fortunate that the people they work. for will allow them
to leave their work to go on a call. These are the things that are so
important to have in our community, I grant you that the young people in
the community do many things that are important, but they certainly do
not save your life or mine as they are not qualified.
I wish that you would sit down and think, then let your own thoughts and
well being tell you what is good for you and the community.

BRISTOL - A recount

versed the results of
Tuesday's election for
Bristol town chairman.
Incumbent Earl Hollister,
originally declared the winner of his 10th consecutive
term, today lost- in the recount to first Sup. Noel
Elfering by eight votes.
The official canvass, c-ompleted after three hours of
recounting this morning,
gives Hollister 599 votes and
Elfering 607.
The original count gave
Hollister the win, 611 to 599
for Elfering.
"I'm sure it was an
honest mistake," Elfering
said this noon. "The people
counting the votes were
very tired Tuesday night.
They worked from 8 p.m. to

In the recount, 13 ballots

We used to-be a townshiP· til'_

sides, not talking or ~ring

Mr. Noel Elfering states that the Town Board is responsible for the school
tax. In no way is the Town Board responsible for the school tax. The schooi
board is responsible for levying the school tax. It is collected by the Town

and dispersed to the different school districts; but in no way is the Town
Board responsible for it
The letter also says that the utilities are supported by the people in the
district Yes, they are. They are very fortunate to have a utility district.
Many of us living in the area are unable to have a district to take Care of
our waste materials or supply us with water. Maybe the general fund of the
community is used to help these people out, but that's what the general fund
is for- helping the people in the community. We are sorry that it can't
help everybody, but it does help a good many of our people.

!Weather chills farm outiook
By BARBARA COLJCKI ..e--l¥"" ?J~
Area Page EdUor
v
,- Unseasonably cool, -wet weather has been posing
pOtentially serious problems for- farmers in Kenosha

'County as well as those across the country, and weather
'-,during the next four weeks will detennine the extent

and

quality of this year's food production"

~ Improved conditions last weekend provided the op~

'partimity for many Kenosha County farmers to begin
planting com, a key -local crop, Many have been workIng well into the night attempting to offset the delay
caused by rain and cold weather·as best they can_
Typical were Mr. and Mrs. James (Sue) Rogers, who
·operate a- farm on Hys. C and 45 and who are in the
midst of planting 1320 acres of No. 2 yellow corn, a feed
crop.
Rogers' equipment, which includes a new eight-row
International 400 Cyclo Air Planter, enables him to
Plant up to 100 acres of cOrn in a: single day, He began
planting- last weekend but estimates he is about three
weeks -behind schedule because of the weather.
_ "We were 'way behind with anhydrous ammonia
(fertilizer) which usually goes on in AprU or as soon as
you can get out," said Mrs_ Rogers,
Six row planters used to be the big thing, recalled
Mrs. Rogers, but the equipment seems to be getting
·bigger and bigger.
"We were the first ones in this area to have a big one
'(eight rows) when we got ours last year. There are a
few more now, and I've beard some are even going to
"12 rows," she said,
Equipment Posed Problem
Last year, the Rogerses had problems trying to
tr_anSport the com planter fr:om their home farm to
acreages they rent two or three miles away_
Their new implement carrier was not delivered on
s_chedule, and the corn planter, which is 27 feet wide,
had to be towed down the bigbway taking up most of the
and presentma a distinct hazard to traffic and
ment
_
posted warning flags on the planter and
f}agged down oncoming motorists. She recalled at least
one narrow escape when a motorist drove around her
-W_arning flags and went speeding toward the slow~
..,..,.,; ..... ,.,..,..,. ...... """' 1"'"' despite her efforts to stop him.
a Sheriff's Department escort
r:;;~'-,-#t:d.o that again.
r-jr~0s.'-.lfti_wever, their -implement carrier, a 30-

foot trailer, has arrived to alleviate the transportation
probh:m. They estimated they WOltld finish seeding
their home farm by mid-week and thrm would be out on
the road with the equipment, if the weather holds.
Heat, Moisture Vi1.al
Lee Smith, county horticulturist, r oted that warmer
weather and adequate (not excessive} moisture are
vital for good germination in corn.
It's little consolation that the cool, wet weather also
hinders some insect development, Smith said, because
the same weather conditions also serile to nourish plant
diseases.
Smith said the winter wheat crop i1e has observed in
Kenosha County "looks reasonably good" except for
some areas of winter kilL
"Vegetable crops are a bit behind but catching up in
the last few days," Smith said,
He warned, however, that last yeru• a col.d spell about
May 24 nipped many vegetables and the year before,
there was frost in late May or early June.
Apple trees should be in blossom ir:l the next 10 days,
Smith said, and weather during this period is critical to
the fall apple crop. Sunny, warm days will encourage
bees to be out working polUnating the apple crop, and
without good weather during this pEriod, the fall yield
will be skimpy,
Corn b: Key Crop
However, it is the corn crop that IS the key to much
of what Americans eat includin;~ beef. pork and
poultry, The U.S. Department of Agriculture reports
that serious problems in planting a1·e occuring across
the nation. As of last Sunday, only 13 per cent of the
corn crop nationally had been planted compared with
31 per cent last year"
Last year, farmers ill some areas had an early start
planting corn, but heavy rams coutinul.ng for weeks
caused field damage. Extensive rep:,anting lasting weU
into June was necessary_
Early freezes last fall killed much corn whi.ch had not
matured enough for harvest, and production was far
short of expectations.
The Wisconsin Statistical Reporti11g Service reported
that at the end of last week, only 8 per cent of the oats
crop in Wisconsi.n had been sown •:ompared to SOper
cent at the same time last year~ Tht! report said spring
plowing is 10 per cent completed cGmpared to SO per
cent last year and 45 per cent nonnally;

because she had pneumonia and the

between Saigon and Oregon, the base of
the adoption agency, was poor. "Ore-gon didn't know if Deborah was on the

Bristol votes state audit of town books
.r-13--?.-

By JAMES ROHDE

Staff Writer
BRISTOL - The town
board voted laSt night to
proceed with a complete
audit of town books by the
State of Wisconsin.
Tbe controversy over the
number of years to be
audited still exists since the
resolution calls for the
auditing of books for fiscal
1974. Despite the fact that It
also provides for the ex,
amination of accounts prior
to 1974 if auditors deem it
necessary, opponents
wanted the audit to go back
the full 14 years of Earl
Hollister's term of office or
not do it at alL
The audit controversy
stems from the last election
itr·fttcb Noel Elfering nar·
~wly defeated incunll1"'nt

Holllster for the post of
townchairmaninabit.terly·
fought campaign_
Improprieties in the han·
dUng of town funds was
hintedduringthe·campaign,
which resulted in the sugp
gested state audit of books.
Hollister supporters 'want
the14-yearaudittoclearhis
name of any wrongdoing
while Elferlng supporters
feel a one-year audit would
provide a clean slate for the
new board.
The measure was deferred two weeks ago
because of a difference of
opinion over the length of
time to be audited, Last
night, a motion to bring the
resolution back for action
passed by a 2 to 1 vote with
Sup. Dale Nelson opposed.
Nelson also voted against

the adoption of the resolu·
tion, which passed 2 to l,
The resolution calls for
the state Department of
Revenue Bureau of Munici·
pal Audit to examine the
accounts of the town together with audit..<> of Utili.ty District 1, Units A and B, and
the municipal water utility
district.
Cecil Rothrock, town at"
torney, said the audjtors
will begin work about the
middle of June or beginning
of July_ He said their practlce was to pick up the affairs for the past year and
go from there if any 'questions or discrepancies exist
Grass Cutting Bid
Only one bid was received
last night for the town's
grass cutting contract Paul
Bloyer submitted a bid of

$1.000 for the year which

The board approved

Blfering reported he reo
ceived an offer to purchase
the deep wen water pump
which the town installed at

other residents also expressed interest in the submersible heavy duty pump,
the board approved a motion to advertise the sale of
the pump. Bids wiil be accepte<t until the next board

The board accepted the
resignation of Alvin Heiden~

last night and instructed the
clerk to send a letter of apprectation to Reidenbach
for his years of service to
the town.
Sup. Nelson called for a

which was passed by the
board, and introduced a motion calling for the clerk to
send five-day written no~
tices to persons allowing
junk or junk autos to stand

A suggestion from the
senior citizens organization
to purchase 10 to 12 card
tables on a w-50 basis with

auditing of books for fiscal
1974. Despite the fact that it
also provides for the examination of accounts prior
to 1974 if auditors deem it
necessary, opponents
wanted the audit to go back
the full 14 years of Earl
Hollister's tenn of office or
not do it at alt
The audit controversy
stems from the last election
itr:Whfcb Noel Elfering narrowly defeated incumtw>nt

Hollister for the post of
town chainnan in a bit.terly·
fought campaign.
Improprieties in the han·
dling of town funds was
hinted during the·campalgn,
which resulted in the suggested state audit of books.
Hollister supporters 'want
the 14-year audit to clear his
name of any wrongdoing
while Elfering supporters
feel a one-year audit would
provide a dean slate for the
new board.
The measure was deferred two weeks ago
because of a difference of
opinion over the length of
time to be audited. Last
night, a motion to bring the
resolution back for action
passed by a 2 to 1 vote with
Sup. ·Dale Nelson opposed,
Nelson also voted against

.

the adoption of the resolu·
tion, which passed 2 to 1.
The resolution calls for
the state Department of
Revenue Bureau of Munid·
pal Audit to examine the
accounts of the town together with audits of Utility District 1. Units A and B, and
the municipal water utHity
d1stnct.
Cecil Rothrock, town attorney, sai.d the audjtors
will begtn work about the
·middle of June or beginning
of July, He said their practice was to pick up the affairs for the past year and
go from there if any 'questions or discrepancies exlst.
Grass Cutting Bid
Only one bid was received
last night for the town's
grass cutting contract. Pao!
Bloyer submitted a bid of

$1,000 for the year which
includes cutting tile grass at

the Bristol baseball
di_amond for $550, water
utility property, $100; sew€'r
plant. $100; a lot at Lake
George, $100, Gaines Park,
$00. and the town hall, $70.
The board approved
Bloyer's bid. Last year the
work was eontraded for
$740

Elfering reported he re'-'eived an offer to purchase
the deep wen water pump
which the town installed at
Beaver Transport Co. Since
other residents also expressed interest in the submersible heavy duty pump,
the board approved a motion to advertise the sale of
the pump. Bids wi.ll be accepted until the next board
meeting May 27,

Fire Protection Pact
The board discussed but
took no action on the fire
protection contract providing equipment to handle
fires in Paris Township.
Board members were ex·
pected to review the agreement Which expires July 31

in which. Somers and Pleasant Prairie as well as
Bnstol provide fire protection in Paris.
Rothrock reported .$Orne
questions remain unanswered concerning the liability insurance coverage
of specia11vents, especially
the ftreworks display, during Progress Days_ He said
he expected and answer to
several questions within a
week
The board accepted the
resignation of Alvin Reidenbach from the town planning commission effective
last night and instructed the
clerk to send a letter of appreciation to Reidenbach
for his years of service to
the town
Sup_ Nelson called for a
joint meeting of the town
board and planning com·
mission prior to May 27,
which was passed by the
board, and introduced a motion calling for the clerk to
send five-day written notices to persons allowing
junk or junk autos to stand
on township rights-of-way.

A suggestion from the
senior citizens organization
to purchase 10 to 12 card
tables on a 50-50 basis with :
the town was taken under
advisement by the board.
Anthony Eibl, sewer plant
operator, told the board that
the new contract offered
him by the township was
llnsatifactory, (Elfering reported two weeks ago, when
the old contract expired,
that Eibl requested a 40 per
cent increase in salary.)
He and the board were
scheduled to confer following the board meeting in an
attempt to reach a settlement.

take over ambulance services
By JIM MEYERS -. 'J ..7 ~Staff Writer
V 'f
Towns and villages will take over ambulance rescue
service outside the city if a recommendation from the
County Board's Sheriff committee is followed.
Committee chairman Sup. Angelo Capriotti told 15 Board

members at a special meeting Thursday night that the
county should drop its free ambulance service.
Kenosha County's use of deputies to provide free

am~

bulance service countywide is one of only three such.
systems irLthe state.

At the same tfrne, Capriotti's committee recommended
that the county train all deputies as emergency medical
technicians in order to provide backup service to the rural
emergency services.
The county is faced with a minimum $331,000 startup
expense if it is to stay in the ambulance business, according
to Capt Roger Schoenfeld of the Sheriff's department
Schoenfeld said a n~w state law prohibits use of ~tation
wagon ambulances as used by his department and requires
all emergency vehicles to be full scale ambulapces with 60inch headroom inside.

He said the county would need at least four ambulances
at a total cost of $100,000, 12 more deputies at an annual ct)!lt!
of $200,880, and training for 6() men at a cost of ~1
or $30,080.

•

THE TOTAL COST of $330,969 would be the minimum
required to continue the present level of serviee provided-by
the deputies ln station wagon squads Schoenfeld said,
The state law sets a deadline of Jan. 1, 1979 for meeting
the new ambulance standards, and a_ July 11 1977 deadline
for certifying ambulance attendants as emergency medical
technicians with 80 hours of training.
-There are four existing rescue services out$ide the city
operated fire department service. There are volunteer
rescue _squads in the towns of Brb~tol and Salem and in the
villages of Twin lakes and Silver Lake,
'These serviees· could be expanded to serve the entire
county west of 1-94, Schoenfeld said, but Somers atrtl ;;
Pleasant Prairie townships would face the necessity' of :,
starting from scratch to create, or contract for, a rescue
'
service.
Schoenfeld noted that the county is not required by law_ to
provide ambulance service, but it is required to see that
such service is available to all its citizens under the 1973

and passed in the negative, the motion was lost

the application of two class

class A package goods
Hcense resulted in the
Bristol Town Board rescind~
ing action and rescheduling
the date for a public hearing
on the three license applica~
tions,
A public hearing was
scheduled at 8 p.m, last
night on the applicatons of
Russell Taylor and Richard
Winfield for class B malt
beverage licenses and
Benson Oil Co., Inc. for a
class A package goods
license.
The beer licenses were
approved by the board
without opposition from the
floor, but when the package
good license came up for
discussion, two citizens
questioned whether the legal publication requirement
had been met
They alleged that the
licenses only appeared in
the June 4 issue of the
kenosha News, not three
diys as required by law.
_Town chairman Noel
E}fering said that he had
eu:t out the notice from the
;'June 4 Issue which stated
that the notice would ap·
pear in the JUne 3 through 5
lss:ues.
Town clerk Fred Pitts
told the board that in any of
h.is instructions to the news~
paper the license applica~
tions were to be published
for three days..
He said that he had not
yet received the affidavid
from the paper verifying
the three day }iriblicatlon.
As the town baard de·

take on the application, a
number of persons questioned the issuance of a

to insure that no liquor is

A representative of the
corporation denied any
knowledge of the incident
and vowed to keep close su~

if approved by the board,
Pitts said state law requires only licensed opera·
tors to sell liquor and that
hours of operation be lim~
ited to between 9 a.m. and 8
p.m.
He said the license fee
was set by the board a year
ago at the $500 minimum set
by the state.
Attorney Cecil Rothrock
said some sort of collapsible
gate would have to be ltistalled at the store located
at Hy. 50 and 45 to tnsUre

granted.
He instructed the
to

going to do. It's ESP_ I'm
about 99 per cent right,
too~"

Walt has been kicked at
by a lot of horses, but with
his ESP working, they never connected. Except once
"That didn't coun't
because it was my own
horse," said Walt "I had to
have 10 stitches l.n my leg."
Walt is at his busiest now
through October when the
horse show season ends, By
then, be may have shoed
another 100 or more horses.
A blacksmith, Reed
pointed out, can do any kind
of iton work including making his own tools.
"But I am a horseshoer,
not a blacksmith," he said.
"All the old time black·
smiths are gone now except
for a few up north."
Walt believes the threemopth courses on horse
shoeing offered by some
schools are of questiOnable
value.
''They get out and still
don't know how to shoe a
horse,'' he declared. "It
takes a year of working with
horses six days a week to
learn how to shoe a horse
and do it right"
Hot Shoeing Best
Walt believes in "hot
shoei0g" rather than cold
shoeing. Hot shoing Involves
heating the metal until it is
pliable enough to shaPe it to
the horse's foot
The cold shoe process necessitates rasping or filing
the hoof to fit the shOe.
"You can get a lot better
fit With hot shoeing," Walt

Walt Reed works on one of his own horses preparing to fit new shoes.
(Kenosha News pbotoa
believes, makes better ones

declares, "Students learn
hot shoeing when they take
a norse shoeing course.
When they graduate most of
them go to cold shoeing
because its easier and
faster, but it weakens the
foot."
Walt first removes the
horse's old shoes, if he has
any, and checks and trims
the feet. Like shoes for pro.
ple, the hoof tends to wear
down on one side or the oth·
er and must be leveled so
the horse's legs are
straight. If the horse is
small and light boned, it
gets a light shoe_ If it is
heavy and big boned, a
heavy shoe. Walt's shoes
come from Japan which, he

than the U.S.

The shoe is heated in the
forge in the back of his
truck where he "draws" or
shapes a toe clip (one for
the front ·feet and two for
the back feet) which helps
keep the shoe in place when
the horse makes sharp turns
such as in barrel racing.
"When I shoe a horse, I
want the shoe to stay on and
not have to come back and
replace it.''
Like people, horses have
right and left feet that are
shaped differently_ "A lot of
people don't know that,"
Walt comments
The hot shoe is hammered
into shape at the forge and
checked by holding it
against the hoo.L Most
times, it's a perfect fi t.
"It gets pretty easy after
your lOth year/'
The hot metal does not
hurt the horse, who doesn't
even flinch when it is placed
against his hoof, The hoof is
notched where the toe clip
will ·go, and the shoe goes
back intO the forge wh'ere
any alterations can be
made, then into a bucket of
water to cooL The new shoe
is nailed in place into place
only when it is a perfect fit.
"The hor-se's foot reminds
me ;of ~L~pie:ce o.f wood
because it has grain and
may grow a half inch a
month," said Walt. "Every
eight or 10 weeks, the shoes
loosen up and need attention. Some people with show
horses have them checked
every six weeks. Others
for~et about their horses af*
ter the last show in the fall
w1til spnng.
"Personally, I think the
norse should have Joot care
all year around. I usually
recommend that shoes be
taken off in the winter_ Jt
takes a real good shoe if the
horse' is going to be ridden
much in winter"
For those who plan to ride
during 'cold weather, Walt
puts sharp shoes on their
horse which enables it to
cross ice and snow without
slipping,
di usually ask people
where they are going to ride
(grass, pavement, sand)
and choose a shoe accord*
ingly," said Walt.
Aids in Injuries
Walt is often called by
veterinarians when special
shoes are needed following
rn injury,
"I had one last winter
when a horse stepped on a
disk and cut its foot in two.
It was 10 below zero, and I
went out and made a bar
shoe to hold it together to
heal," he said.
Ponies are seldom shod

"Some horses are spoiled,

some are just mean,
"In 12 years of shoeing, I
have come across two
horses J,couldn't shoe. L
don't like to gi~ up though,
and I try to get the shoes on
without hurting them. You
never know what a horse Is
going to do.
- "I did give up on a couple
because the owners didn't
have enough experience to
help me. But that was after
a pertty long time, and I
saw I might get hurt."
Walt advises horse
owners to get their animals
accustomed to having all
four feet picked up. Training should start as early as
three months.
Walt travels all over
southeastern Wisconsin and
as far as Deerfield, Ilt, to
shoe horses. Until three
years ago, he used a coal
forge and kept it burning
day and night in the back of
his truck, As more coal
companies closed, he found
it harder and harder to obtain good forging coal and
eventually made the switch
to the propane gas powered
forge which is· run off the
battery of his truck. With
this equipment, he can shoe
a horse anytime, anywhere-.
"I like to do my best for
the animal," said Walt, "It
would bother me if I put on·
a shoe was wasn't the best.
I like to get Some satisfaction too, because then I go
away feeling good. It's old

The A & P moved out and Mario and Nello Ventura have
the building up for lease or sale. Nellie Kalb also owns a
portion of the block, along Sheridan Rd,, now leased to the
post office for vehicle parking.

•

AT THE MOMENT, however, the favored site for the new

jaH and Sheriff's headquarters is the block north and west
of the Courthouse block That land has been purchased by
the county and is being used as a parking lot for employes
for the time being.
Capriotti satd this would be the most economical site to
use since the land is paid for.
A progress report on the jall study program will be
presented to the County Board next Tuesday :night; along
with a request to seek the meeting with city officials.

tnan1ese infants find new

'"Eight Weeks ago, the Republic of Vietnam feU and it
br:ought many changes to the lives of millions of
persons, hundreds of thousantds of whom reside outside
.of Southeast Asia.
Fqr two children - too ;young to understand the
r :conflict but as a direct resu-'lt of it - the change was
· drastic .
It fueant leaving a homelnnd they had never really
kt.1own and perhaps never wi.ll. It meant a fresh start,
though, a chance to grow.
J<'or Thomas Lu and Debot·ah Lynn it was to mean a
. neW'· home, complete with parents - something they
' h<idn''t known in Vietnam. 1rhey had been abandoned

then, but wouldn't be any IQ•nger.

"They called me the next day," Karen said.
That was on the fifth or sixth of February. The next
step was the completion of the paperwork in Vietnam
and they were told it would be the end of summer. So
again they waited - but not so long this time .
THE MILLITARY SITUATIONT deteriorated rapid~

"We would call them (the agency) when we heard all
the reports on the TV and they said they had just called
Vietnam and would continue to process as many chil~
dren as the could," Beverly remembered.
It was April 4, when the Muhlenbecks got the good
word. The call came Friday evening at about 6 o'clock,
telling them the flight would come into O'Hare Interna·
tional Airport at 8:45 a.m. Sunday (April 6)
''They told us that Friday not to bring anyone ~· no
grandpareants, children, or anyone- because so many
parents alone would be there," Beverly said.
After learning that the two orphans were coming, the
next day and a half were difficult for the Muplenbecks.
"We were just exhausted. We couldn't sleep Friday
or Saturday mghts and we JUSt couldn't get anything
done,,, Beverly noted,

"EVERYONE WAS REAL EXCITED for us and
really happy, A couple of days before T-Qmmy came,
several of my friends that I haven't seen for a while,
called and asked 'Had we heard anything?'.,, They
were worried as much as we were about it (the
situation in Vietnam)," Beverly said.
"They were worried and prayed right along with us,"
Karen said.
"After the phone call came," Karen recalled, "We
just sat around and didn't do a whole lot. AI was telling
me the night the call came al_ld he was doing the
milking, that after the call came, he didn't know how
•those cows got milked, because he didn't remember
finishing up, They (Al and Gilbert) still had to do
chores, but they'd come in often asking if we'd heard
anything or if we thought they (the children) had left
yet"
'
"I've never been that excited - even our wedding
days weren't that traumatic apd exciting, but that's
because they were so planned," Beverly said" "And we
·
rehearsed it," Karen added.
The four of them went to meet the plane early
Sunday, but everything wasn't going to work out just
right Late Sunday morning, Karen and AI got disappointing news,
"We didn't know until, when was that - about 11
a.m.?- a lady called us into another room and told us
they had gotten a phone call and when the plane was
loaded in Seattle, they checked off the ones they put
back on and Debbie was not on that list So they just
assumed that when they landed in Seattle and had taken
the sick children to the hospital, and put the children

SO THE WAIT FOR THE PLANE was not quite as
enjoyable as they wished it would have been.
Karen said, "I wanted them (Gilbert and Beverly) to
be happy and excited and not upset that Debbie wasn't
coming."
Beverly recalled, " Joe {Gilbert) and I were still
relieved that tommy was still coming, but we were
very upset about Debbie not coming. But with Karen
and AI there, we didn't want to stay and talk about it."
"There was no neutral subject to talk about," Karen
summarized.
Th.e Muhlenbecks went home that Sunday with only
ThomaS; and the·uncertainty of Debbie's whereabouts"
It wasn't until Wednesday that the call came froq1 Holt
telling them where Debbie was,
Beverly recalled:
"They didn't know much. I talked to one of the men
because Karen was out with the kids and AI was out
·working and it was on my shoulders to tell them Debbie
was still in Saigon. The man promised that they'd get
Debbie out no matter how sick she was . But I told them
I couldn't tell them (Aland Karen) they said someone's
going to have to and when AI came in a little later, I
told him and told him to tell Karen because I couldn't
,
tell her, l just CO'Uldn't. So AI did."
Days passed and' there was little communication. The
next time they were notified was April 26 when they

1\.spin explained that the Environmental Protection Agen(EPA), which allocates funds to the states for wastewater

~funds.

~The money in question," said Aspin, "is the $9 billion
-i'ecently-released water pollution control funds, which
I been impounded in fiscal years 1973-75."
"Even though EPA now has a new formula which is
;ed on state needs as they exist today, they have disbuted the $9 billion to the states, based on the formulas
.t were in effect in the years the money was appropriated,"
pin continued.
According to the old formulas, Wisconsin is slated to
~eive $145.3 millJ.on in water pollution control funds.
•If this legislation is passed, Wisconsin's share of the
billion would increase to $181.9 million," said Aspin.

1e early frost and heavy spring rains that caused
farmers to get their com planted a month late
,ned to create a disaster of major size.
EXPLANATION OF PROGRAM
te feed grain program was started in 1961 to cut pro·
m of feed grain because there was a large stored
IS which was depressing market prices. By selling
ored corn, the federal government made payments to
•rs to cut their production of feed grain, (Later the
ents came from tax monies.)
>r this program, acreage allotments were set for each
ln the country, These allotments were set in 1959-Sl.
neuts were the Dumber of acres a farmer could plant
:h gram. The allotments can be changed, but many
remained the same since they were set.
•st year was thf" first all-out production year. This
t farmers could plani as many acres of whatever
~ they wanted.
so established about 1960 was the expected bushel
:n:· yield for each individual farm, Some farmers have
1sed their yield, some have decreased theirs and
have remained the same.
1ch year an estimated national allotment is set for the
1, and each farm's allotment is increased or decreased
~ingly _ This year and last year there have been no
1ents: all-out production is allowed.
1e way the Emergency Disaster program figured its
s last year was to divide the- total output ot the farm
1shels) by the number of allotted acres. Then that
~was compared to the farmer's expected yield. If the
~was 49.~8 per cent of the expected yield or less, the
was eligible to receive a grant from the Emergency
ter program,
nder this system, some Kenosha County farmers
ineligible for the grants.
any Kenosha County farmers planted more than
.allotted anes which by law was permissible_ Even
;h they may have gotten only a small fraction of their
·t~!d yield based on all the acres planted, the way the
am was figured they were ineligible.
EXAMPLE
nmf'r Jones planted 100 acres of com. He usually
lOO bushels per acre. He got only 30 bushels per acre
1se of the frost,
Jones had been allotted 100 acres, he would have
;ed a grant of $3,220 because he got only 30 per cent
; expected yield.
owever, if Jones had been allotted only 50 acres and
E'd 100 aeres of corn, he would not havE' received
•ing- from thE' Emergency Disaster program.
mf's' 3,000 harvested bushf'ls would have been
~d by his allotted acres, 50, to get a "figure of SO per
wrll above the- 49.88 pe.r cent figure.
law has been passed that changes this procedure so
the lo~sf~ _,would "be figured on the. actual acres

planted, not the allott8d acres. Howevec this inequity was PI""'""- $561.66.: Getald Poep)'l~~­

I was very interested in
' the Kenosha News article
about 12-inch fastpitch fading away. The article was
very true but I would like to
add another possible reason
for its demise. It is the lack
of publicity and exposure by
i the News,
This is especially true of
teams in the county where
fastpitch is thriving. there
are 18 men's teams alone,
plus Intermediate (up to
age 18), Cub (up to age 14),
and girls.
Last fall uur team
(Channglow) put on one of
the better tournaments in
the area, the Charmglow In·
vitationaL The best teams
from the city and county,
plus a couple from outside
the county, participated in
the annual event. It was
well attended wl.th a standing room only crowd watch·
lng the finals at Bristol.

There are probably more
than 700 county residents
'playing in the county
leagues, most of whom, I'm
. sure, take the News. They'd
like to read about more
about fastpitch
So is it any wonder

He disputed the claim
that h!s store oold !mr to
minors.
"I told my employes if
anyone sold beer W a m_loot.
it is cause for dism~t"
He said he thought some
good Bristol citizens migb~

the store ill an attempt to
set the Benron Oil Co. up for

an arrest
"If the teen-ager were
successful in purchasing the
beer" be said "then a reo
por'i would, g, to the
Sheriff's Department and a
citation would be issued!'
He said at least one·S!tch
attemp_t was made 'since the
meeting two weeks ago_ The
staged attempt to buy beer
by two young girls was
thwarted.

two weeks ago that Wllre
just out and out lies," he

of beer to minors at the

"She must be here tonight, ana 1 wooid like her

she did $325 a day in sales.
Now we are doing about

achs fights his way back
BY JERRY KUYPER 7~~ •lJJ~
Staff Writer
Most people would agree It is better to be alive than
dead, Richard Wachs, 41., a Kenosha detectivec is one
of that maJority.
Wachs lived to tell the tale of IUs shooting. The man
who shot him didn't
A year and a half have passed since the nlght that
Tommy Russell of Kenosha, a 26 year old robb«y
suspect, shot Wachs in the gut and Patrolman Joseph
Huber in the leg. Rus:selJ was buried a few days later.
He died in a shootout with Det. Wllliam Powers_ Huber
recovered from his fractured leg. Wachs Is still re·
covering.
It took lOJ.<a months for his collapsed right lung and
almost severed liver to heat He returned to the job for
maybe 7V. months before he was sent back to the
hosp1tal for corrective gurgery in June, 1974
He walked back into work in October and was on the
job until this spring_ He's been back with the doctors
for more tests and his most recent layoff has now
lasted another two monthS.
"They tell me that 'what I have now has no relation
to the shoothig. AU I know is that I never had anything
wrong Wlth me before I got shot, bnt afterwards it
~seemed my entu:e l;lody fell apart. I'm being~ this
time for thyroids and high blOOd pressure. Last sum·
mer they went .in and got the ruptffi'es out, but the
pain's still there. I haven't been right since I got sbol

'Then there are just the nuisance calls like tavern
fights I wouldn't say I manhandle anybody but I've
been m some fights. When Washmgton Bowl had the
bike races there were always fights there we had to
break up
"With these barroom fights you always come out
with a lot of aches and pains. You don't want to hurt
anybody. just overpower him. If you hit a guy bard
enough. you can k).ll him. Of course, there are guy-s who
really want to disable yuu hut gfill, you can't do what
you might like tu do to him.

ON DEC. 6, 19'13, shortly before 9-30 p.m., police got
!1--eQ!l on an armed robbery at Freddle's Bar. 2718 ~2nd

'5L:'Four men had entered the bar, pistol whipped a
-~mer, and escaped ·with an acceptable amount of
-j::ii:O!ice combed the area for a half hour before Officer
Je't3.uld D. Dieter noticed a man, who 'fit the descrip_tfoitof one of the suspects, in a phone booth at 30th Ave

Jerry was talkmg to him and as we got out. Russell was

Wachs took off after him "I chased him, caught him
and spun him around by the right shoulder. Well, I
guess it was the wrong shoulder to grab him by since
be was a southpaw. As I spun him around be reached
into his pocket with the left hand and brought the gun
right up against my stomach He sfioved it in and pulled
the trigger, In a way, I suppose, I was fortunate the gun
was that close. If it bad been further away the bullet
would l;tave exploded iniide me. As It was the initial
force jUst shot it through me and left a big bole''
The big hole was left by the bullet of a ,357 magnum
"They c-all tt the toy ca~ncifr," said Wachs.
"When the guy whipped:the gun nut and into my
stomach I didn't even feel it," said Wachs. He didn't
feel the bullet either.
"The next thing I was thtnklng_of was what that sharp
loud explo,_'iion -.yas. Then I was lying on the ground
feeling nothing but wondering about that noise. Then all
this pain came. I just lay there until the ambulance
came_ I just lay there thinlong

Dec. 6, 1973, wasn'l the first time Wachs bad been

Pair pedals
way from
west coast
By RUTH HAMMOND
Sialf Writer
It would apparently take more thad SiX mountain ranges,
13 flat tires, several dry tre!uc through deserts, and a June
snowfall _at Yellowstone National Park to stop two ardent
bicycllsts.
Maggie Knight, 6712 3rd Ave., and Janet Hawkins, Bristol,

both May graduates of the. University oL WisconsinMadison, recently completed a nearly 3,000.mile bike trip
t!mt treated them to all that and more,
The two women fl~w to San Francisco on May 23 and.
started up the coast from there. Their route, planned day
to day by visiting town Ubral'les and asking people for
advice, took them north to Eugene, Oregon, and then east
through Idaho, Yellowstone National Park and the Grand
Tetons in Wyoming, the Black Hills of South Dakota,
Minnesota, and Wisconsm_
The only thing that made them pick up their bikes and

hitch was a ro-mile stretch of a Minnesota highway wbich
was servrng as a detour for HIO.
THE ROAD HAD BARELY enough room for auto traffic,
Maggie said, much less two bikes that jolted out into the
paths, qf sem~-trucks each, pothole they hit. Knight and
Hawkins thumbed their way across the last 30 miles of that
route.

The women, who had both had considerable riding eX·
penence on the1r H}speeds before undertaking this trip,
chose a west to ~ast route bec1ll18e that's also. the 'WUY

had them going against the wind on their way up the
California coast

BRISTOL - The first class A package goods
license in Kenosha County west of the interstate was
approved Monday night by the Bristol Town Board
climaxing a two>-month controversy in the township.
The license was granted to the Benson Corners
Grocery located at Hy. 50 and 45 following the
adoption of a new 13 page ordinance regulating the
sale and consumption of alcoholic and malt
beverages.
'rhe application first came before the board on
June 10 but questions regaroing the publication requirements resulted in the board ordering the republication for pu!bic hearing July l.
At the July 1 meeting action was deferred Willi the
board could pass an ordinance setting forth wgulations to govern the sale of package goods, specifl., cally the separation of package goods sales from
other enterprises.
Monday rught the ordinance wall introduced and
adopted by the board setting the license fee for
package goods at $500 per year ('300 more than the
current retail class B license) and'requiring separa·
tion of operations.
The ordmance limits the township to three class A
package goods licenses for the first 3,000 population,
with one addihonallicense permitted for each addi·
tiona!. 3,000 population increase. It requires a solid
unbroken partition without doors or entrancewa)'l:l
for use by the public, completely separating the area
devoted to the package goods sales from any other
busmess conducted on the same premises,
,
The ordinance does allow an opening between the
two areas where the owner or operator may transact
sales fur both section but sales of package goods
have to be made separately and the seller must hold
a valid operator's license.
As the ordinance was introduced town chairman
Noel Elferlng told the people that the board had
spend ronsiderable bme on the law changing lt a
number of times before agreeing on its final form.
He explained that it probably was not perfect but
that lt was the best the town board could come up
wtth to protect the township,
The ordinance was then approved on a motion by
Chester Boyington, and seconded by supervisor Dale
Nelson and carried.
A .motion was then introduced also by Nelson and
Boymgton for the granting of the class A package
goods llcense to Benson Corners, subject to the
requirements of the new ordinance. It passed on a
two to one vote with Elfering voting in the opposi-

tion.

Soil O:mservation Service {SCS) for not developing flood
prevention plans for the Des Plaines River in Kenosha
County as part of its floodwater management plan for the
entire river
The SCS recently completed a -fivl'-year study .:if thl'
flooding problems along the Des Plaines in IllinoiS and
Wisconsin, As part of the study SCS has suggestOO.
projects that should be implementE>d to W-Solve the prob·
!em. Total cost of their re<:omrnendations is estimated to
be at over $69 million.
In a letter to Agriculture Secretary Earl Butz, Aspin
said, "I commend the SCS for completing the study.
But, the report fails to recommend any action for resolving
the flooding problem of agricu)ture land in Wisconsin:'
'
The Wisconsin congres$IDan pointed out that nearly
' ali the projects suggested are for the Illinois portion ot
'the Des Plaines and its tributaries in Illinois.
"The recommended projects will undoubtedly resolve
':many of the flooding problems in illinois hut what about
the 21 miles of the Des Plaines River in Wisconsin that
'flows through prime farm land?'' Aspm stated.
The congressman asked that the Agriculture Department review the plan before it is finalized and "take
· s~ps to include alleviating thp flooding problems in
Wisconsin.
"The Agriculture Department's SCS ought to be
concerned with Wisconsin agriculture !and as well as
Illinois '-!Uhurb<ln and urban areru.," Aspin concluded in
b.is letter,

came to a close, tl.S_ farm export totals were $570 million
short of the previous year, When the strike began in 1969,
fann exports had been tending up for several years.
Some of the foreign exp<Jrt rnat'kets lost as a result of
these strikes never were regained M foreign buyers looked
elsewhere for reliable suppliers.
This bickenng aOOut exports has sent shivers down the
huks ofthe Japanese and the Eumpe~m Community, each
each of which buys more grain from us than the Soviet
Union.

We cannot compare selling wain tG the Russians today
to 1972. Conditlons have changed, The Russians no longer
have the subsidy protection we gave t.hem in the last big
deal to move our surpluses, With the grain costing them
hard money, they will undoubtedly buy less.
The American farmer stands ready to do all he can to
help feed the world. He can't do it all, but with an ero..
nomic incentive, he can do a lot. The products of one acre
out of evecy four goes overseas. Inr'-mne may sound like
a dirty word when people are sta.rvmg around the world,

argumenl1s being tried for
the first time,
County Board Sup. and
fOrmer BrU;tol Town chairroam Earl Hollister, who
was sitting in the audience,
was asked his opinion on
what -effect the- argument
would have on the _equalization board
Hollister reiterated the
comments of ·Rothrock that
it had never been tned
before and be Could not project the outcome but felt the
board would take nohce of
the argument
Eye lDjUJiictlon
"Th!.' only way you're
going to prevent these new
assessments from going on

court injunction unbl tile issue is resolved," heremarked.
Hollister said the county
eq~W.Iization board was concerned wl.th equalized value
of the county since it afferted the taxing ability of
both Gateway Technical Institute and the park commission
In referring to the-~
county budget, Hollister ex·
pressed concem ovef proposed salary increases of
county employes Which he
said would cost the tax·
payers ifOO,OOO for each per
cent of increase awarded in
new contract
"Ninety percent of your
county taxes currently goes
to paying wages of' county
employes," HolliS'ter re·
rn.uked.
Suggestions .were agaln
offered by the- people to
push for a metropolitan gav·
ernment west of 1-94., to
creaie a new county SeJMrate from City of ·KEnosha
iirf!Uence and e11en fO"r
Bristol to attach to the State

Since the cost of the legal
action··to fight the new' assessment was estimated at
$10,000, the board delayed
joining the other muilidpal·

instructed Rothrock to me!:'t

(Bri:>tol) -- Bristol Township attorney Cecil Rothrock
was instruc'.ed by the town b<Jard at the Sept. 22 meeting
to meet with Thomas Godfrey, Elkhorn attorney, who is
representing taxpayers in Kenosha C{)unty in their protest
again8t their new assessments.
It vras pointe-d -out that the cost of the legal action to
fight tbe new as~essment would run as high all $10,000
; Bristol re;~idents are complaining liS much as other communities in the county and aired their complaints at length
at the Sept 22 board meeting.
Rothrock was asked 00 discuss with Godfrey the feasibility of joining other taxpayers in fighting the assessment
, battle.
r
Bri5tol will hold its board of review at the town hall on·
; Oct. 6 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and supervisor Chester;
' Boyington told taxpayers to complete a form available at ; .
the town hall in order to appear before the board of review >
if they were dissatisfied with their nf'w assessments.
'
County board supervisor and former town chairman
Earl Hollistet also told Bristol re~idents at the meeting
that the only way the new assessments could be kept off i
the- tax bills was 00 get a ~.ourt injunction until ''the issue is
resolved," the issue being the fact that some municipahtiea in western Kenosha County had been reassessed
twice while the townships east of I-94 and the City of
Kenosha had not been reassessed for almost five years.
In routine action, the board approved bartende-r license
' apphcations for Joseph Jozaitis and Btltty Garbacky:
tabled action on the increase in library fees by the
Simmons Library in Kenosha which go inOO effect Jan, 1, ·. ,<'.'t

<1 Thursday night
favor of a referendum for
e $:49,000 by which the
dget exceeds the 941 per
nt levy limitation.
!!:lectors last July ap·
oved a budget totaling
!18,369, with a tax levy of
11'6,708- After trimming
),169 off the budget last
ght, the district levy is
II ~.000 over the limita·
m set by the state.

>\ MAJOR REASON for
eeedillg the limit wu a

"The 9'12 per cent limit
imposed by Chapter 39 will
not permit the district to
maintain an educational
program that will meet the
minimum standards set by
the Department of Public
Instruction.
"The board of education,
according to Chapter 39,
had three choice.~:
"- To cut the budget approved by the people at the
annual meeting,
"-To appeal any special
education expansion to the
Department of Public In·
struction for relief,
"- Or to ask the people of
the district through a referendum elet!tion to support
the det!islon reached at the
annual meeting,
"The board of education
voted to ask the people by
referendum for their support. They did, however,
carefully consider each
item of the budget that was
approved and found they
could make a cut of $:10;18&'
which thev voted to do,

"After eliminating tile
$:10,169, the following resolution was passed, which
will be presented to the people of the Bristol school district m a referendum electioo.
* ~ ~
"WHEREAS the annual
district meeting approved a
school district levy of
$596,708.85, wh1ch is in excess of the requirements of
Chapter 39 of the Wisconsin
statutes, now therefore be it
resolved that the ~9,000 difference m the budget be retained in the budget as approved at the annual district
meeting''
The board said that with
the approval of the referendum, the town levy would
total $586,539.85, a decrease
of $10.169 from the
$596,708_85 approved in July
"We feel sure that the ;
people of U!e Bristol School
Distrlct in the best interest
of the boys and girls and
thelr mstructionai program
will support this referendum," the board statement ,
concluded.
No date was set for the
rElfetendum, but it Wtll have
to be sch~duled within the
ne:lt two w~ks to meet the
Oct. :o date for notifying

town officials of !lie
certified levy
VJrgil Recob, adm!nis·
t:rator, sald that of the
$10,169 trimmed off the
budget iast night, $S,700 was
e!immated from the $6,200
budgeted for a bypass of the
heatirrg system when the
board found that !t could
pun::ilase a motor for ~
providing a temporary solu-

tion.
The oUter item trimmed
was $1,500 budgeted for a
Title 3 NDEA progr-am proposed during the t97S-7&

At Home In Bristol
BY MAUREEN McFARLAND
(Bristol) -- Ta'ftes differ in each country but one thing
Gilda Villela Miguel has in common with her peers is a
d!stioct hatred of spinach, Otherwise, as an Interl13t.ional
Exchange student, America seems very murh to het
liking.
Gilda i~ studying English at Central High School and
living with the James Roberson family during her sixmonth stay in the U.S. Miss Miguel eomels from Alem
Parruba, Brazil. Before lea'<ing for Paddock Lake, she was
a frBShman at the University in Rio de Janeiro. studying
math and physics. Gilda was also teach1ng piano at the
c-onservatory in Rio. The Rob!'rsons hav!' been enter·
tamed by Gilda's spirited sambas, Brazil's most popular
dance, but the1r ,daughter's" range covers the classics
as well,
Her main purposl' for coming to the U:S. was to Jearn
English. In our opinion she is succeeding
Although her CJ.ty of 20,000 would encompass "many
Bristols," as she puts it, she enjoys the smallness of her
new,home town. Gilda is not hom~ick, either~
Her "siSter," Karen Roberson. said Gilda attracl!J
a !<Jtof attention at school, especially from the boys. Gilda
i-~ somewhat bashful and says she can't understand
that compliment. But then she can't understand Hal~
!oween either! Some American rituals are hard to grasp]
Karen was worried before Gilda arrived that they
nught not get along, but, "we hit it off great and enjoy
each other'& company a good deal,'' she says,
Karen laughs at Gilda's fear of her first winter, 'Tm
going to stay in the house, in my bed, with lots of warm
blankets on top of me," Gilda said. Karen is still trying
to explain that winter can be beautiful and fun.
Gilda dreads putting on any more clothes than she has
had to already ~'I just hate socks, Stockings are even
worsl' because you can rum them so p,asily, ··she says.
Fail has b!'-en a new experience for Gilda. She enjoys
seeing trees without foliage,
Gilda is active in sports and has won many awards in
Brazi.l for swimming, Now. she is enjoying volleyball and
horseback riding
Painting and art arl' also active hobbies of Gilda. She
enjoys modern and abstract art. Her favorite artist is her
"mother," Mrs. Virginia Roberson, During our vis•t.
Gilda showed me four paintingff she had done within the
last month, They sui«od her tastes and wl're abstract.
Gilda learned a new word that she felt del!Ctibed her
American family and that W!l8 ''gorgeous.''

"Our thmkmg has evolved from 'all people are

The Rabhi also put it this way: "All men are good"
becomes "Some men are good," then "Some men Bt"e

"so I may as well do the same." This, he said, must be

l-'enr Editor:

On cranberries, Cyclamates, phosphate, bacon:
Cancer is a very serious disease, and no one should
niske light of any reseuch being carried out W find the ·
cau~s of this dreaded illness. However, in thei,r zeal,
oome resea.r<'.hers just go way overboard when they make
some of their pronouncements,
You probably remember the cranberry scare a few
yearn ago when the wrong pesticide was used on some
cranberries. The growers lost a lot of dollanl although only
a few berries were suspect, Cyclamates were taken
out of soft drinks, and phosphite out of detergents, and
many say now that eaclt was a mistake.
Now, it's bacon's turn, and researchers are saying
that the products used to cure ba~n might, under certain
conditions, cause cancer_ These mtrites and nitrates are
uEed to cure bat:on, give it a cured flavor, and fu: its color,
, The most important use is to prevent botulism, and
botulism is a real health luuard.
The problem, say the researchers, is that ~t
bacon curing methods can result in formation of up 'to
10 parts per billion of nitrosopyrrolidine, the suspected
e&ncer causing agent, In ease you've never figured out
bow much one part per billion iS, the American Meat
Institute did, and says one part per billion is one minute
aut of all the time since Christ was born ... or one penny
oot of $10 million
. or one ·kernel of com in 7,143 bush·
els, or one fluid ounce in 10,000 full tank cars , . , or four
people out of the rota! current world population,
For 600 days (nearly'a rat's lifetime), rats were given
three roilligrams of nitrosopynolidine per kilogram of
body w-eight, They did develop liver tumors,
"Whil!t does that figure out in humans?
Well, for a 154-pound person he or she would have to
eat 46,235 pounds of bacon every day for the rest of his
or her life.
Such pronouncements shout cancer-causing materiab
dnn -~ do a thing to help t.he cause of curing cancel', but
they can certainly cause havoc in the meat industry as
sh:mlru: onf"s did for cranberries and other items.
It' :t; time for somebody, ~somewhere, to be realistic.

Dear F.ditor;
On cranberries, Cyclamates, phosphate, bacon:
Cancer is a very serious diseMe, and no one should
make light oi any research being carried out to find the
cagses of this dreaded illness. However, in their zeal,
some researchers just go way overboard when they make

You probably remember the cranbf:o..rry scare a few
years ago when the wrong pesticide was used on sorne
cranberries. The growers lost a lot of dollars although only
a few berries were w5peCt. Cyclamates were U\kell
out of soft drinks, and phosphit.te out of detergents, and
many say now that each was a mistake,
Now, it's bacon's turn, and researchers are saying
that the products used to cure bacon might, under certain
conditions, cause cancer. These nitrites and nitrateS are
used 00 cure bacon, give it a cured flavOT, and fix its colOT.
The most impcrlant use is to prevent botulism, and'
botulism is a real health hazard.
The problem, say the researchers, is that
bRCOn curing methods can result in fonnation of uP to
10 parts per billion of nltrosopyrrolidine, the SUBpected
caJW;Jr causing agent. In case you've never figured out
how much one part per billion is, the Anleriean Meat
Institute did, and says one part per billion is one minute
oot of fill the time since Christ was born , _ . or one penny
out of $10 million .. , or one 'kernel of corn in 7,143 busheJe. or one fluid ounce in 10,000 full tank cars . , • or four
poople out of the total CW'l'ent world population.
For 600 days (nearly~a. rat's lifetime), rats were given
three milligrams of nitrosopyrrolidine per kilogram of
body weight, They did develop liver tumors.
What does that figure out in humans?
Well, for a 154-pound person he or she would have to
eat 46,235 pounds of bacon e-very dey for the rest of his
or her life.
Such pronouncements about cancer-causing materials
dnn 't do a thing to help the cause of ewing cancer, but
.n certainly cause havoc in the meat industry ll!l
on<:.'b did for cranberries and oth~.r items.
It's time for soml.lbody, somewhere, to be rea.listic.

BRISTOL - Subdividen in Bristol Township will
now have to pave tbe roads in their development before
the town will accept them, as a result of action at last
night's town board meeting.
The board adopted an amendment to the ordinance
regulating the subdivision of land which will now
require developers to pave the road$ with not less than
two l.nches of blacktop and.one inch of sealcuating
before they will be accepted. It also reqmres the
seeding or sodding of dJ.tcbes for board approval
Noel Elfering, town cbainnan, said the action was
necessary to save the township the expense of improving the roadways when land was developed. The actwn
came on a 2 to 0 vote of the board, with Town Sup. Dale

IN RELATED ACTION, Eltering reported to the board on a letter he re<:!Wed
from Payton McLamb regarding the asse<>sment proposed on parcel~ in the rectm1ly
annexed Oak Farms SubdiVlSJOTI l'1to the
sewer distnct
Ellering sa;d the board felt JUStified in
proposing a unit charge for the sub4,"d~•~n
rather than a front loot assessment
tend the ut!ltly to the development.
He said the unit charge was proposed
since most o! th<' lots were two acres in size.
"The front. fo-ot asseS$ment j11st Isn't
equ1table when you have some lots with a
lot of road frontage and others fr<mting on
a cul-de,sac," Elfering remarked
He said that McLamb's suggestion that

the town ,reassess--the situahon yearly to
ch,nge property owners dividing their
parcels an additional cost was not feasible
Rothrock cited. bookkeeping problems
wh1ch could arise if a property owner took
a 10 yen deferment to pay tbe cost of Ute
sewer tnstallatwn and then d1v1ded the
parcel after three years.
"Would ym1 grant the buyer of tbe second
parcei a 10 year deferment increasing the
total commitment on the original two acre
lot to 13 years'?"' Rothrock asked the board.
They agreed that their original plan was
more feasible and instructed the attorney to
write a letter to McLamb explairung their
pomtion
The board granted a request from the
Dav1d Muhlenbecks in Sewer Utility DIS·
trict No. 1 that the sewer charges be reduced from two family to one family
E!fenng ell:.plained that the two charges
were applied when tbe SUlgle family resldenc._. was converted iilto a two family
residence, but now that it is betng used
solely tor one family, the board was justi·
fied in reducing the charges.

SILVER LAKE- Emergency medical services
west of I-94 will be provided by volun~er rescue
units Instead of depuey- squads beginning March t:i.
TbesixmonthpJanisinanbcipatlonofJanuary,
19'19, when the sheriff's department, by 11tate law,
must be out of the med.ical rescue business
Capt Roger Schoenfeld of the sheriff's department assured the public at a meetmg with vohm"
teer rescue squad members at Silver Lake Wednesday night that the deputies would not abandon
the public altogether,
''We have two station wagons on the western end
of the county,'' he -\laid, ·•and we will be available
if the other volunteer rescue umts are too busy or
an emergency arises. •·
Currently the volunteer rescue units of Bristol,
Salem, Silver Lake and Twin Lakes provide a
substantia! pex-centage of that. medical service.
Of the 277 medical calls in Bnstol Township
during 197~, for example, the Bri~rol Volunteer
rescue squad answered 196. The deputies handled
the remainder. It is that remainder that the Bnstol
volunteetS would now p~ek up.
Of the 83 calls in Paris Township during 1975, the
shenff's deputies answered 64. Of the ather 19
calls, those south of Hy. 142 were serviced hy
Bristol, according to Bristol F1re Chief Bill BOOn.
Paris has an agreement with the nearby rescue
nnit in the village of Union Grove for the calls

A motion to discontinue non-emergency runs

was overwhelmingly favored by the residents.
Fire chief Bill Bohn explained that the calls
were not of an emergency nature but were preammged. Last year, Bohn said, the department

This accounts for only three percept of the rescue

BRISTOL - The earmirklng of $11,000 for the
purchase of land to eventually house a new fl.re station
and town hall c11me under attack during last night's
town board meeting.
Opposition came, l.n 11art, from members of a
citizens' committee appolilted by the board-earlier this
year to study the needs_ of the fire department and
, rescue squad as well as make recommendations for the
disposition of the Beauti-Vue•bulldlng donated to the
town
On Saturday, May 29, the board voted 2 to 1, with
town chairman Noel Elfering in opposition, to earmari;
the funds towards the pUrchase of land to eventually
house new town facilities, The $11,000 was acquired by
· the town when a clarlfer, ins~lled. at Beaver Trucking
Co. years ago, was sold to the Jade-Aire Corp.
The board also:
• Opened three bidS for .the blacktopping Qf 208th
Ave., from Hy. V 9011tb to Second Dr.; Dth Ave.. from
start of the curve so'uth of Hy. V to the state line; I76th
Ave., north of Hy, C to the mailbox north of !lOth St.;
!lOth St, from 176th Ave. to the west end and Ridgewood
Subdivision, off Hy, K and Hy. 45.
• Received its iirst draft of an ordinance which
would raise sewer hook-up fees from $600 to $1,000.
• A_pprove<J a settlement with Russell Horton to hook
up the feed store property to the sewer and water
utility.
"' ApprovOO the reappomtment of Bernard Gunty,
W1!!lmn Cre11s, and Ed Bedter tu three-year terms on
the pliiM.IIl!{ board by a vote of Z to 1, with Sup. Chester
Boyington oppo&ng the action
"' Granted 11 kennel license to Donald Skurauskis for
a kennel on .U6tb St near the I-114 frontage road.
Eugene Adamski, vice chairman of the citizens'
committee, told the board, "The people are being
treated like they are too dumb to know what they want
when the board goes ahead and des1gnates $11,000 for
1 laud purchase to house a new fire statlon and town
halL"
Adamski reierred to the annual meeting m April
the electors agreed W extend the citizens' com·
in-dep;b.study cuuld be made and recom·

.out. taxes. Two year$ ago a new fire station and toWn
hall complex· was voted down by the pe<~ple, yet you
take it on your own to earmark $11,000 for land
purchase when it should be placed back in the general
fund," Adamski told the board.
"If you're gomg tQ take action on your own, why have
a. citizens' committee make recommendations?" he
added.
Sup. Dale Nelson, who with Boyington voted fur the
earmarked funds, defended his action by slating that
some time In the future, a scond fire station would be
needed in the town, whether the peoiple like it or not.
He cited facts and figures showing the conUnual
growth of Bristol, which he said will eventually requl!tl
expanded services.
"We must look down the road for the needs of the
community in the future," he said. "We felt Utis $11,000
had nothing to do with the recommendations of the
comJillttee or a referendum in·the fall."
James Engberg asked the board members why they
didn't wait for the results ol the referendum before
earmarking the funds.
"You took no consideration of your appointed com·
mittee when you took that action two weeks ago," he
remarked.
Another member of the citizens' committee, Charles
Lmg, requested that the group be authorized to hrre an
architect to get basic facts reg~~rding the Beauti.View
bwldmg 1n George Lake before cteclding tts dispmution,
He wa!> told that the <:ommittee had $1,000 to work with
and that they should decide as a whole how they wanted
that moeny spent.
Boyington sa!d, "Sometime along the line, the Town
of Bristol is gomg to build 11 new town hall and fire
station. I'll stand behind that motwn ta e:.1rmark that
money for future land put'l:hase."
Elfering told the people, "We are just spinning our
wheels regarding this issue. I told the supervisors that
they were makmg a hasty decision wllen they approved
the motion and the.planning board likewise made a
has~y decisiOn !n condemning the supervillllrs for the
action."

Rochester, $42,100 and $44,100 and $42,100.
The board took the bids under consideration
The proposed ordinance for raising sewer hook-up
fees in the town came under the scrutiny of the board.
Members suggested thilt a change be made to require
property owners to pay the total cost for extending the
lateral frum the sewer line to the house.
Currently,' tile town pays for extending the lat&al to
the property line out of the $600 hook.·up fee. Elferlng
said the coot of one recent hook-up was over $500 of the
$600 It received for the connection.
He told the board that a date had to be determined
when the ordinance would go into effect and hinted that
possibly the board would arrive at such a date when It
meets on Saturday morning.
Elfering annuunced that an out-of-co11rt setUement
was reached on the connection~ services to the Horton
Feed Store property_ He .swd HOrton agreed to hook up
the sewer line at a cost of $108. the difference between
the hook-up charge and the amount of monthly service
fees he has paid over the past number of years while
not receiVJng service. Elferlng said that he also agreed
to hook up to the water line and pay the total cost of
$210.
The board approved a motion accepting the arrangement
FUTURE SEWER extensions also resulted in a
lengthy direussion over plant capacity.
Elfering told the board that he had been contacted by
il property owuer uuts!de the sewer district who asked
ftw st'rvke.s and agreed to pay the total cost for
extending the Une.

BRISTOL - Town supervisors Chester
Bo}mgton and Dale Nelson got some wpport Monday night for their earlier action In

, earmarking $11,000 towards the purchase of
. !an(\ to eventually house a new fire station
· andor a town complex.

'

Horace Fowler, a long-time resident of

. the town, voiced his support of the May 2!1
, actHm after reading an account of the June
· 14 board meeting ln which the two super·
visors wee were criticized for their stand.
' f<'owler'JJ comment came after the regular
, board meeting agenda had been completed
' He told the hoard, "I feel a new fire
•station and town hall are a must U you go
'the other route you will have three bulldinp
wh1ch would not meet the needs of the town
, in the future '
(fowler referred to the present town hat\
and hre station located In the unin·
corporated village and the Beauti·Vue
building in George Lake which was donated
to the town last year.)
The board also

- Approved the renewal of bartender
license applications submitted by George
Winfield and Donald Wolf.
- Delayed action on a reque5t from Mrs .

Ameha Wolf to build a duplex on her proper·
ty south of the Dyke Johnson Subdivision
11ntil the board has an opportumty to review
tile area.
In his comments to the board, Fowler
suggested tbat the citizen's committee acquire tbe services of a qualified engineer to
check on the cost of heating the present
bulidmg owned by the lawn compared a well
insulated new structure.
He sa1d the economics of looking into
future needs of the town "were ripe" at the
present time due to the interest rates avail·
.lbli' 'o tne mumc1palUy
"Wilen we have a bunch of ded(cated
firemen and rescue squad men, It g1ves a
sense of sal!sfactwn to know that we have
provided them With the best facilities and
eqUJpment posslhle," he said.
Joseph Czubln. a member of the citizen'a
comm1ttee, told Fowle1· tbat no decision had
be~n rea~Ched regardmg a new $tructure or
use of the present buildings, hut he was
welcorne w present in~ comments to Ute

committe€
A quesuon was raised regarding the
Merkt Jaod purchase specifically on lts effect of the town sewer system. elfering told
the people that the board had been assured
that the building would not be used as a Iood
processmg plant and would therefore meet
the ordinance requirements for sewer use.
In regard to a request for a building
perm1t from Mrs. Woll, the board delayed
action followmg a suggestion by W!ll!am
Cusenza that an inspe~tlon be made before
approvmg request. Fred Pitts, OOwn clerk
and building inspector, brought the request
before the board, stating that Mrs Wolf
mtended on building a one·story ranch style
dupiex with a garage in the middle which
would be served by a holding tank. The
property is located west of Hy. 45 and south
ol Hy K
Ceul Rothrock, town attorney, infonned
Cuseuza that there was no way the town
board wuld prevent Mrs Wolf from con~trucling the bmld\ng since the land was
currently zoned agricultural and she met
the requirements ot the town ordinance.
"As long assn':" ~an acquire the approval
of the colln!y zoning administrator and get
a l.mlldmg permit, there's no way thls bnarrt

·THE COUPLE HAS oeen foster parents for 28
months with a lota! of 10 clultlren m t.heir care
Residents of Kenosha when they hrst began in the

program, they soon dec!ded the atmosphere and
open Sp<J.Ces ol t.he country would b!.' bettEr for tl\e
children
"We were in a bud schwl rii&lrkt in Kenusha,

and living m the c1ty Iller~. isn't much toom. It is
a heaitiuer atmosphere out here- more space·and we needed a big home if we hoped to have lots
of kid.~- We bought this house wllh the kids in
si1< kids? "Tne need 1s u,ere. I have the
energy_ I qi.llt my job to devote my ttrne tn the
! house and childnm We want U.\ help and take as
i many as we can,''_ sne said
1 Mrs Coulombe \5 realistic about the children.
1 "You have to treat them as yom own, but always
· : remember that they have natural parents that they
>; are always ready to go back to. Blood 1s defimtely
:);_1 thicker than water. But ln every way I treat them
-~< as if they were my own:'
&:; She said several of the children have left, but
,;j returned agam. The longest penod one ch1ld has
~:'; been With them is 20 months, Ages range from SlX
i< to 14,
l;:i "The biggest problem is jealousy_ They con·
(;-1, tinua}ty fight. So together we worked out a set of
~\tru)es and pwushments. For example, they hare a
~~;\1 treat every mght before _gomg to bed, If they.'re
J:_{1 bad that day, no treat, Orm the pool- no dunkmg,
1/\ no kicking each other- 1f they do, out of the pool

them know you are there. It takes five or six
months before they are adjusted. Til then they teel
you out You have to iet them know you care, but
that they have a respons1bihty to the farmly, too.
They are a part of the famlly," she said.
"Sometimes they lash out, hurting others, but
you have to understand the!r sJtuatwn, at the same
time lettmg ttlem know h11rtmg others is wrong,"
she sa1d

The children are often 1mmature ~odally. lil
knowmg how to get along with others, but worldly
rn other ways, "For example, I have two now who
know ever}'thmg there 1s to know about sex,
They've seen mo~e, been through more.,
Though Mrs. Coulombe agrees that there are
problems unique to foster parents, she never has
regretted a muw:te of bemg one. "I love having
these-kids. But it does work out better if you have
no chi!dren of your own at home. I have been
involved with other parents who have their own
ktds, and the foster kids say they feel cheated or
they are treated different from the natunl kids.
Natural children put up with a Jot, too, havmg to
share everything, including their parents."
The Coulombes plan to be foster parents Jn·
definitely. Five of the chlldren will probably be
w1th them untn they are 18, one for at least another
two years. Natural parent$ do hav;fViaittng tlgbts,
which can cause some confltet(and the ,childJTeii

refer to them as their 'real' parents
·'But they like it here," she saJd. "They call us
Mom and Dad. But they are always ready to go
back. dreaming about the day they will be back
w1th their 'real' parent~- It's rare for a chUd not
to feel th!s way. B.:lt onre they hit about 14 they can
see the madequa<>J~>S of their parents that put them
here Ill the first pl<~ce. And they don't want w go
ttack to that. But it doesn't cau~e a b1g problem.
They adJust to it and accept it. They can see they
are better off here,"

alone'' she explained.
She feeJg the children have helped her marriage,
but that to be foster parenls, the marrmge mustoe
very stable m the first place. This is the second
marriage for OOth, and Utey have been married to
t'ach other for f1ve years
Future plan~ include a new wing of the house,
w1th a recreation room, living- toom, master
bedroom and bath, ti1en the Mdttj(}n of two more
children "l would have Hi if they'd let me, but tlw
hmil 1s etght," she laughed.

THERE IS A Cl,OSE relationship between foster
parents and the children. Mrs Coulomb-:J said she
is able to cope with most thmgs that come along,
and each child sees a psych1atnst or psychologist.
"We all keep busy, which Is vitaJ.to the success
of the home," she said, "We work in the garden.

working on installing solar heating for the poot
You have to be involved!'
Despite how busy they both are with the house
and chJldr11n, and her husband with his job at
Johnson Motors in Waukegan, they set aside time
each month to be together, alone
"Another foster mother livmg up the street
watches the children and I do the same for her

BOTH ARE ACTIVE in tile foster parent progrilffi, w1th Ronald chairman of the foster parent
adv1sory committee.
"I do see foster care becommg mon: and more
important," she says "It costs ~1,800 to $2,000
each month to keep a child m an mstJtution, and
the taxpayers are pa.ymg for that We have 121
foster l!omes In Kenosha County, but there are so
many children who need homes. It seems l!ke

when a child's parents died, the neighbors would
automatJ.ca!ly take the child in or flnd someone
who could,
"There is such a need for homes and it is so
worthwhile. I love it,'' she said.

BRI::i'TOL -- A heanng on complaints regarding the
Quality Controlled Egg Farm on Hy, 50 has been
scheduled by the Department of Natural Resources on
Sept 30 at 7 p.m. m the Woodworth School building,
Noel Elfermg, town chairman. made the announcement dunng Monday mghfs town board meeting, encouraging all per~ons affected by the egg farm operatwn to attend the sesswn
The board also.
• Heard a report on the possible lowering of town
: speed iim1ts
• D1scussed repla'cmg equipment at the town landfill
slte
• Heard a complaint on a junkyard.
The DNR hearing on the egg farm is m answer to
complamls of odor em1sswns allegedly resulting from
the operat1on of the pollllty ranch.
Purpose of the hearltlg 1s to recetve evtdence on the
alleged odor and determine whether it constitutes air
pol!utwn m v1olatlon of state standards
The DNR will determme whether to rescind or
moctity a previous order for odor abatement. The
facility was ordered to submit a plan lor the abatement
of the discharge of malodorous emtsswns into the
atmosphere to the DNR by .Aug. U and to be m full
comphance w1th state statutes for the control of
malotlowus emissions by Oct. 31.
Town Sup Dale Nelson suggested that all farmers in
the town with livestock attend the Sept. 30 hearing.
'' lf the ~tate ;s succesdul w closing down this aperaUtey could clost down any one of us currently
livfstock 1!\ tJ;e \own, he said
;y Controiled Egg Farm has been the subject of
consJderab!e controversy in the town dunng the past
fe>v years over odors emanating from the egg ranch
The DNR heanng IS the result of petitwns cJrculated by
res!Uents HJ the immediate area, wh1ch were filed With
the state.
LOWERING THE SPEED limits in the town was
by EHenng, who s<ml he talked with a

d!scu~sed

rept!Jsent.1.t1ve lrom the state h;ghway department,

who suggested that specific areas be filed in writing.
Last month the bo$rd announced plans to lower speed
l!mits in the George Lake beach and the town ballpark
to 15 mph because of the hazardous conditions
State statute call for a minimum of 3fl mph in
tO~~<"'l.Ships unless the state highway department approves lower limits.
- "We have to ~tate exactly where the town wants the
lower speed limits in writing ~fore they will review
the situation. If any people in the town have 1deas
regarding lower speed limit.~ m their area, they should
contact the board before we submit our requests,"
H:lfermg sa1d.
The town chairman told the board that It faces a
deciswn on whether to replace the crawler at the
landfill site or lo go to the additwnal expense of
repairmg the equipment.
Elfermg cited expenses lncurred by the town in
keepmg the equ1pment running smce it was purchased
five years ago. He sa1d the town filed an apphcation
w1th the Office of Emergency Government m 1974 for
a used caterpdler from surplus equipment but has had
no response to date
Nelson suggested that the board InVestigate the cost
of purchasing a replacement before deciding whether
to repair the present veh1cle.
E!fermg also told the board that be received a
complaint from Lester Wagner regardmg a junKyard on
the east end of the town Atty. Cedi Rothrock sa1d the
applicant ongmally stated that hls operation would
include the restoratwn of antique autos and that
matenals would be kept indoors
If this ;s a _i<Jnkyard operation, he needed
perm1s~wn from thf' DNR as weli as the lown,"'
Rothrock said
Since the permit for the antique aulD restoration
operation was Jssued by the county, Rothrock suggested the county zomng offlce should be notified.
In other action, the board
-Granted an operators license to Douglas Gallart
for the Brat Stop
- Approved the payment of $20 to Lloyd Sm!th,
Justice for tl1e village of Paddock Lake, for sitting as
Bnstol JUStice lor three dtat1ons 1ssued by the con-

town building inspector Fred P1tts attended m Elkhorn
1rf.'gard1ng on-site sewage systems Elferlng told the
board that new state regulations wilj make itj:lifflcult
for property owners to build m areas not served by
sanitary sewers
- Announced plans to attend the Wisconsin Towna
Association conventwn m Green Bay Ocl 18-ZO
- Set Sept. 20 at 7·30 to meet with town constables
and rev1ew ordmances.
ELFERING announced that he met with Horace
'Fowler and a neattng engmeer on Monday who viewed
the town buildings In order to determme the feal)ilnhty
'of retaining the BeautiVue bmlding, the town hall and
the fwo otatwn or replacing them w1th a town hall
complex.
Fowler asked the board last month for permlSSJOil to
seek the information at his wm expens!.' and turn it
over to the study committee.
t;)frring sa;d the study comm1\tec will meet Tlmrs,
day at 7 p.m and that he hoped informatwn from
Monday's inspection Wlli be available at that time. He
said the committee was also expected to announce the
date for an open house to giVe town residents an

BRISTOL - Current dog

ordinances and discussion

on problems with dog laws
was the highlight of a work
session of Bristol town of-

ficials and constables Monday night
The work session was the
third of 3Uch meetlng tore-

view existing ordinances
The: work gTOUp diSCIUised
changes in the open burning, firearms, and platting
ordinances Monday
•·Dogs are one of our biggest cuncerns In thiS town,"

said Noel Elfering, town
chamnan, ''These problems
take up so much time ol the

conslables and everyone
else in the town office''
The study committee dis·

cussed raising the fee lor
p1c!iing up a stray dog from
• $!14df4 fotthe first offense,
• $8 fotthe second and $12 for
the 'llHrtfin a one-year span
AlSO COI!Sidered was a re·
vlSmn on fees ('Jlarged for
destl:oylng, Warding, or administering shots to a dog
The study group recommended dropping a rule providing that no charge be asses!led for destroying a dog
if the owner consents They
said ~osts to destroy a dog
range $2() to $30, and fees
must currently come fn'lm
the town treasury
Bn~tol veterinarian S_ W
Waldo wlll he asked to advise the committee- regarding the Bristol dog laws at
the next work session,
Thursday Of.!t 21.
At a constable-board
meeting Sept. 20, Elfering
warned of fire danger in
Bristol town due to drought
conditions. Monday, the
work group reviewed copies
of the new open burning ordinance drawn up by town
attorney Cecil Rockroth It
will be submitted with minor revislon5 for a vote at
the regular town board
meetmg Oct 25.
The ordinance will tequire a burning permit' from
the town chairman at :any
t1me that burning takes
place on peat-type Soils
Peat soils, including
Houghton and Adr!an muck.
pose a high potential for
fire, Elfering said.
The town board will be
authorized to declare an
emergency fire condition
When ne<:essary_ The board
must post notice at five
places m the lownshtp, Permits' wilt blr required during
an emergencj Jire ctiftdition

for any open burnUJg, Burt}<
ing in a fire-safe ct.otafue
with properly equipped
screening will be p'lr"
mlssable without a permit
Violators will be fined
$100 to $500, or g1ven up to a
30 day Jail sentence for nonpayment of the fme
In examining existing
firearms codes, Elfermg
claimed "that everybody in
Bristol township that shoots
a gun has violated Ulis otd!flance a! one time or an·
other, It makes us all out·
Jaws,"
Elfermg Said he thmks
sevt-.ral rules roncerning
licensing a target range and
restrictions on the diStance
a gun may be fired from a
building are impractical
and ronflict with state law
According to ex.istmg ordimwce, anyone who seb up
a place to shoo! targei:s is
required to Obtain a license,
he said, Another rule bars a
person trom firing a gun
wlthm 400 yards o[ any p«manent strurture
Elfering claimed that Vir·
tnally no one in the town
possesses a target hrer-.se
whether he has a mound
~omewhere ir> the back forty of his farm or runs !HI
elaborate sbootmg range
Not everyone agreed that
400 yards was the proper
distance from a building for
shoohng firearms Some
said 400 yarrls was llllsafe m;
some circumstances, such
as near a subdiVIsion, am!
.safe in others such as in the
middle of a farm
The group finally wrote
the ordinance to r-equire 400
yards from an lnhabi:tab!.e
residence but stipulated
that requirements be
eliminated if tbe owner's
~rmission was obtained or
If 1t was one's own land
The platting of st~b­

The resolution stated
"Whereas, the citizen5 of

quested a referendum to
provide the electorate with
an opportunity to express an
opinion to the town board as
to whether or not the board
should remodel and repair
the present town builftings
identified as Lake George
Building (Beaub-Vue Building), Town Hall Building
and Fire Station, or as an
alternative to such remodeling, to build a completely

"Now, therefore, be it resolved, that, an advisory
referendum shall be provided to the electotate for

options but felt a renovation plan was the mosteconomical He said the committee's recomml:'.ndation was a
5 to 2 vote.
ll:E SAID TIIE cost analyst~ for renovation of tbe
three structures. premued by Garv C!J.[tm1 of \h(~ enp
r;eenng hrm of Jen,Seu and Johlls0n, Eikhom, included
¢60,000 for the Beauty-Vue buildmg, $10,000 for the town
hall and $7,500 for the fire station.
The renovauon plan would create town hall offices,
meeting rooms and vehicle storage areas in the Beauty·
Vue building wlule the town haU would be remodeled to
accomodate the rescue squad. cn•atmg addit.JOnal
spa~·;for the fire deparhoent m its present buildmg.
C®Vtr&®. of \be Bea\lty-Vue !lullding would requ1re,

among other things: remodeling the present washrooms and creating a second faciliiy, paneling and
imrc~lating walls, electrical work, heatmg and air conditioning, roof repairs, mstalling an exhaust ventilation
sy~tem and repairing and painting the outside of the
buildtng
The fire station renovatwn called for the replacement of the fo\lr doors with metal doors, installation of the exhaust ventilation 9)/stem and fireboard
applied to the ceiling,
Changing the Wwn hall into a facility for the rescue
squad would require nylacing the three doors, installing lwo overhead doors in previous openings, lnstalhng
an exhau8t ventilation :;ystem and a partition and door
at the kitchen.
The engmeer's study also suggested tearing down the
northerly portion o1 the Beauti-Vue butlding and converting the area W a parking lot at a cosl of $30,000, but
the committee favored the retention of the building as
a possible rental faclhty to acquire additional town
revenues
Fowler said renovation of the present fire station
would not meet the imml:'{liate need of tbe- organization,
since overhead space would ~nm be lacking for mamtenancc work oo the new fEe truck ;:mrl they will still
need a tower fot drymg hoses.
B£' smd tire new ~tn.;cture, wh.!th includeB tl1e same
plan voted down two years ago, could be bmlt as a
metal butldlo.g, w1th no .ldd!tional taxes t.o Bnstol
property owners.
Fowlenl son, Louis, gave a breakdown on the proposed costs of the new structure, which was estimated
at $3'~0,000. The plan allocated $11,000 for the purchase
of a two-acn: site and $19,00{} for <:oetlngency 1t1mw f<Jt
an overall total of $350,000

To f1nance the construction, he suggested that
$13Cl,OOO of a $19(),000 town surplus be used along with
$11,000 earmarked for the proposed site and $14,555 in
accounts receivable from Beaver TrUcking. He proposed that the $200,000 balance be borrowed.
Joseph Czubm, a member of the committee, questwned Fowler's proposal since, he said, it,did not
include mterest payments on the loan. He said that m
!es.s than five years, the school district will have to
build an additwn, which couid mean an extra burden of
$750,000 on the W.xpayers
"We owe over a million dollars today, If We put up
a new town hall complex and add to the schools, we
could be in debt over $2 million in the next f1ve years."
Czubm said
Charles Ling, another member of the committee who
opposed the renovat1on, sard that Bristol taxpayers
made a $70,000 m1stake b)<- not acceptmg the proposed
town hall complex two years ago, because of Inflationary costs
He S<Hd that renovating the Beau.U-Vue building
would also require a new weU and parking space, which
was rwt mcluded m the committee's cost &nalysis.
''The $17)100 proposed for renovation would be money
down the sewer I m ronvmced that ~he new complex
can be bu1lt without additional taxes," he said

and 20 of the town or·
dl.nances were scheduled for
review Monday night by the
Bristol planning board, but
the monumental Wk of updatl.ng the 15-page ordinance regulating the
division and platting of land
forced postponement of
Chapter zo until Nov, 15.
Chapfllr 16, which was
enacted tin June 1, 11164, was
of particular interest to the
planners in light of the recent Wstring proposal for
multiple d•~lllngs in the

-·

The preliminary plat,
which was given to the plan·
ning board two weeks ago,
contained plans for the construction of five multiple
family dwellings, each containing 2.8 apartment units,
served by 50 foot roads
Concern over the possl·
bility of the r11ads eventually becoming town roads
led the planning board to go
on record as requiring a
minimum 86-foot road width
before accepting ,private
r~~ads.

The board approved a motion requiring pedestrian
sidewalks, crosswalks and
intersections to provide in
the future for handicapped
persons. The attorney was
Instructed to draft the appropriate wording for the
amendment
SJnce there was some con·
cern that amendments had
been adopted by the board
since the ordinance was put
into effect, the planning
board also approved a motion- instructing the clerk to
npdi!te the pre!lent t~r­
dlnance by incorpor,ating all
amendments and revi!lion!l
Whlch may have been
adopted since JunP of 1~-

The board igreed to"!laVe"
tbe amended chapter returned to the planning board
for a final revi.ew in Ws
updated venion before
being enacted by the town
board.
A. petition was presilttted
to the board calling for the
Kenosha County Parks
Com.mlsslon to drop plans
for the creation of a way~}de on a five-acre parcel on
Hy_ Cat 212th St
Although the 112-signature
pe.tition reeelved the individual support of the member!!, the board as a whole
decllned to take offlcial·action in support of the doeu·

Four reasons cited foc op-posing the wayside development were:
- It would increase traf·
fie with Its incipient noise of
snowmobiles, trucks and
motorcycles.
- It would provide a
place for undesireables to
congregate and possibly endanger the safety of children, and property.
- It is not a aafe area to
picnic since cars have been
known to go off the road at
that particular point
because of its location, half·
way 'between an S curve.
- It is unecewry since
there is a truck stop at the
intenectlon of 45 and C and
a wayside is also provided

proved a new structure.
Rothrock indicated that
the disposal of town property was also a decision left to
the people at either the annual town meeting or a special session_
He reminded electors that
according to state statutes,
if the proposed complex is
rejected at the special
meeting, It cannot be
brougbt before the public
again prior to the annual
meeting In April of 197'r

the proposal failed to indude a dollar amount on the
complex.
He suggested that petitmners draft a new document which included the an·
ticipated cost of the project
as well as the allowable interest rates for financing,
rather than face a possible
legal test by OpPonents Jat-

ec
A second petition, prepared during the meeting,
requested the special ses.
smn for the purpose of acquirmg land and construct·
ing a town hall-fire station
complex at -a cost not to
exceed $350,000

A SECOND petition containing the signatures of 92
persons tn the Lake Sb.angrlla area requested that roaWI
in the subdivision be blaclt·
topped as soon u possible.

u also set the rate-Orallowable interest at 6'h per
cent for financing. 'The petiwas circulated during
meeting and received 22
Signatures, 10 mort< than the
statute requires.
The scheduliug prOblem
then became apparent,
smee the statutes set a limit
of not more than zo or less
than 15 days from the filing
date for the meeting.
The general consensus
was to delay filing the paper
Nov_ 16 or 17 because
e opening of deer hunt·
mg ~easoo Jn tw(l weeks.

The petition stated:
"They (roads) need Immediate attention and have
been neglected far too long.
As taxpayers of Bristol, we
feel we have the rlgbt to
decent roads, too."
Sup. Dale Nelson agreed
that the roads need work
but said that If sewers are
installed by Salem in three
years, the asphalt will have
to be lorn up for construction,
Since this year's road al·
lotment has already been
spent, the board approved a
motion accepting the pet!·
tlon and putting it on me for
consideration next year.
In other action, the
board:
~ Instructed the town at·
torney to draft an ordinance
compatible with county ordinance for the naming and
numbering of town road!! to
quaHfy for state highway
aid_
~ Authorized a f-H club
in the town to decorate a
<.'brlsbnas tree in the town

As it stands unoffidally
today, the special meeting
'Will be held on Dec. 7 at 8

A SLIGHT controversy
developed over a report
ftom Sup. Chester BoyIngton that petltloM were:
circulating in the Cherry
Vista Dells Subdivision Indicating the town intended
to extend sewers to the
area. The board sa!d there
are no plans for extending
the sewer to the subdivision

The controversy centered
on who authorized -:ii

Elferlng claimed that the

Some early Bristol Township residents probably
were disposed of on the

John Delany, 88, 741~ 37th
Avf':, had some thoughts on
1t. He fanned in Bristol for
years before moving to Kenosha m 1947, Hi.s ('Ontemporaries refer to him as
"the Bristol newspaper,"
Delany said, "I think anybody buried there would
have been those 'on the
town' as they called welfare
in those days. There's some
shame I suppose if one of
your descendant~ wu
buried there Poor people
were buried there but none
as long as I was fanning."
DELANEY BAS some Insight into cemeteries, HiS
farm was about a mile from
the south Bristol (Wesley)
cemetery on Hy. U nearHy.

c

Delany said, "I dug 52 of
them (graves) in that span
at Wesley Cemetery. It averaged out fo about fi'lle a
year and I got only $5 for
each grave_ And you had to
do 1t with just a sltovel too.''
Delany saW: he never dug
a grav!:' at the bare cemetery near Hys. 45 and c_
"The only tbing I remember about that cemetery is that It was used
years ago as a town cemetery I don't know for-sure if
anybody was buried there-or
not. Nor am l sure, if anybody_w~,bu~i~ there, the

graves weren't dug op tnd

BRISTOL - There remains today conflicting accounts about who, if anybody, was buried at an "uti-

used'' Bristol cemetery.

Is the 1844 deed to
IU'Bhlll! SimOD8eD)

The site is located on a knoll about 100 yards south of
Hy. C near Hy _45ln the Town of BristoL It is two acres
m size and last year was used as a bean field by a local

fanner.
Mrs. Karl (Lois) Stem,-4002 52-iid SC, Keiiosha County
coordinator for the Wisconsin State Cemeterieg Society. would like to know if a body was ever buried on the
knoU

''We're !n the process of Jocati!lg all the old cemeteries and copymg the name$ now," she sald. She can be
reached at homt'Ray Bishop, 90, formerly of Bristol but now of 7827
27th Ave., hved on the rann which contamed the
cemetery from his birth !n 1886 untillSOO He remoombered some depresSions in the ground on thE" knoll, plus
a Jot of trees.
His sister, Mrs. Emeline J. Curtis, who is now ln the
Sheridan Nursing and Convalescent Home m Kenosha
remembered •~pickmg raspberries as a kid'' back on
the knoll.
"I don't remember too much else about it,'' she s;ud.
"We were ju.st kids then and we used to go ba<'k there
and pkk raspberries." She recalled no tombstones,
markers, fences or posts. She did remewber trees.
Those trees were removed and the land plowed when
Louis Wienke, now deceased, moved onto the land in
1937. Wienke bought the land at a sheriff's sale from the
e$tate of,Hnmer Hollister , who had died "some years
before_" Louis W1enke hlmself died in 19!>7
Wienke's son, Virgil, bougbl into the 100-acre parcel
of' his father'!! land in 1947. He sold the land Witt! the·
dedicated cemetery about "three- or four years ago" to
his nephews, Lloyd and Gary Nelson, two Bristol
farmers. They planted beans on the cemetery ground
last spring and harvested the crop this fall

. ..

WHILE THE FARM was in Holilster bands from HJOO
to 1937, there apparently were no burials
EarlHollisler, a grandson of Homer, hunted ''back in
the WO(l(!s'' on the knoll when he was a child.

If !be three town constables want a raise

only the portion which would be comndered the town's

responsibility
The hoard scheduled a meeting Jan 6 at 7 30 p.m. to
discuss the fea-sibility of purchaslng conununications
equtpmen~ wtth the three constables.

There was really no good news for the constables
during Monday night's town board meetin~- They were
informed that they were not insured while on duty;
their $2.50 hourly wage could not be raised while m
off\ce and their request for communications equipment
was still under consideration
Constable Bernard Gunty requested the pay increase
and purchase of communications equipment be placed
on the agenda. Gunty haJJ been campaigning for better
constable wages to brmg them in line with the volunteer fire fighters salaries_ He said the money was not

tbe i!:!Sue, that it "is a matter of principle" and has

offered to donate his sil.!ary to the town if the frremen
would do the same
Gunty also pushe<lJor insurance coverage because
the three law enforcement officials use their own
vehicles on duty. He has constantly asked that c.om·
munications equlpment be provided to put the constables in touch with other law enforcement agenCies.
Cecll Rothrock, town attorney, said Monday night

and pregnant heifers and cows
Pringle finds that bis nursmg_ calv.es are
tw-altluer by being penned outstde. Shortly
after a calf is born (and one was born while I
was there), it is offered the bottle and according to Pringle, within anywhere from 10
minutes to half an hour it will suck Then_.
wtthm 12 hours, as ooon as lt is dried and
standlng. 1t ill tl'ansferred to its own outAide
pen with a three-Sided hut for shelter where
Julie, Betty and Zofia bring it large nursing
bottles of milk formula twice a day,
THE YOUNG calves are all fat and sa~sy
as they gulp their dinner through the large
nipples. The contents of the bottles are gone
in two minutes flat.
Pringle has had great success in this
method of raising hardy stock
"Never lost a calf yet because of the
cold," he said. He added that in eJdremely
cold weather such as we've experienced the
past month, that he will wait for a warmer
(15 degree) day to put the baby outside.
After they are weaned. they are penned in
a large pole barn, then after being bred, the
heifers are transferred to yet another large
barn until they deliver (come fresh) and
join the milking herd.
PRINGLE uses a computer service, GMS
(Genetic Mating Service) to select bulls as

Sisters' lawsuit
no Hollow threat
By DON JENSEN
Staff Writer -

Trouble in Paradise?
The Paradise, in this instance, is
Hawtlmme Hollow, a lovely 40-acre syl-

van wildlife preserve near Petrifying
Sprtngs park, deeded to a private foundation by two retired Sisters a decade ago.

The sisters, retired Racine scllool
teachers Ruth R and Margaret A,
Teuscher, 880 Green Bay Rd., have filed
suit In Circuit Court against tile Hyslop
FoUlldation Inc., and its two trusteell, D.
Dwayne Sbauner, attorney, and Dr. C~A.
Sattler, 6S2() 3rd Ave.

The suit seeks to have Shaufler and
Sattler remoyed as Foundation trustees,

contending ··their actions caused the
Foundatton "to lose large amounts of

money and seriously jeopardized (its)
continumg existence_" __ '
On Aug 2.4, 1966, the Teuscher sisters
<lntered into a contract with the Hyslop

Foundation and deeded their wooded

homestead to the foundation. The Hyslop
foundation is a non-profit charitable corporation established in 1962 by the late
Henry C. Hyslop, Kenosha merchant.
Hawthorne Hollow was to be pre-,
served in tts natural state and opened to
the pubhc. Several histone buildings,
including the century old Somers 'l'own
Hall, were moved to tbe site. The agreement provided that !be sisters would
continue to occupy the home until their
deaths and·-would serve as caretakers uf
t\le ):!f'operty_ The Foundation, the suit
litateS, had a "financ~al duty to develop,
establish. promote, maintain and pre-

serve HawthOJ:J!e Hollow as a wild life
sanctuary."
The suit contends that trustees
Shaufler and Sattler have· "made imptoper investments," "engaged ln sell. dealing with the Hyslop Foundation,"
''pennitted substantial payments of
priJ:!.cipal loaned" and "interest
due _ . to be in default without taking
acbon to collect," and "made inadequate diversification oE the investments" of the Foundation,
The suit also contends that Shaufler
made Investments of substantial
amounts of Foundation funds "in transactions involving a conflict of interests
between 'himself individually and as
trustee-"
The Teuscher court action further
-maintains that Shaufler and Sattler, as
trustees, "failed to establish an advisory
board.
to_give specific and specii!lized advice on the development, establishment, promotion, maintenance and
preservation of Hawthorne Hollow,"
failed to appoint a third trustee as required by the articles of inCorporation,
and have not met as trustees in over one

year.
The Teuscher sisters contend that unless Shaufler and Sattler are replaced as
trustees, "the principal and assets of the
Hyslop Foundation will be further dissipated"
Their suit seek!! removal of the
trustees and the appointment of ttie
First National Bank of Kenos~ ca.nd
themselves, as trustees of the Hj$lop
Foundation, Inc.

The cunent lawsuit against the Town of Bristol
nd Lake Shangri-la Beach Association came to a
eated discuuion Monday night at the town boatd
1eeting.
The Department of Natural Resources_ (DNR)
led soit against both ·parties because of fat!ure to
teld two accesses to public property on the lake.
Acr:ording to DNR, -:l:wo lots were platted as
ublic accesses and were never surrendered to the
ublic. Consequently, all private signs and fen~-es
ut up by the association on these recently di~overed p)lblic acces~es were ordered dOWn<
Herman Bessler. a spoko:;sman representing the
:h Association, voiced his com·
-

.

proper notifkation had been made to a towmhlp
man.
Bessler also brought tax receipt$ %-ying he could
show that the liSsociation had paid taxes _on this
pubiK ptop_erty in pre"ious years, and he voi~;Cd his
·same concern, again wanting proof that the property
was'in actuiiUty public and not private. Bessler said
he thoughtthe lake was man-made, which added to
his conviction of tt!> being a priVate !ake.
Rothrock brought out an original plat map
showing that the two areas in questwn had been
platted for public access.
The assox1atwn was mformed that there wi!l be a
pre-trial held in the courthouse April l when repre"
sentatives of the group may have the upportllnit} to
air the1r .complaints to a DNR representative.
r items of business was discussion of low
the neW-toivn hall and fire station and the
'nilrchiisil.-Of a··new Portable generator.-

no mishandling of these bids, legally, morally or otherwise."
A LARGE CONTINGENT of residents from the Lake
Shangri-la area voiced complaints over a lawsuit ill·
itiated hy the Department of Natural Resources over
two nuhhc accesses to the lake which had been mairttam€d by the Lake Shangri·la Beach Association.
A lengthy letter accused the town attorney of a "lack
of mterest and effort" in the haudling of the DNR suit.
The as&ociatiOn asked t!Jat
- Signs which were removed by the town be replaced
-A four by four-foot fence which was torn down at
Park No. 3 be replaced since the posts, which were cut
off at ground level, create a hazardous condition.
~Thai the association be given an official copy of the
DNR smt
- That the town cooperate and work with the Lake
Shangri-la Bea<:h Association on specific problems in
the area.
Rothrock said the ch~<rges stemmed from a m!stmderstanding and lack of cr.mmunication. He lmid IJH>t
the suit initiated by the DNR against the beach association did noi involved the town board or any previous
town board
He sa1d that when the Shangri-la subdivision wa~
ongmally platted, it provided puhlic access to public
waters in order to meet the reqmrement~ of the state
statutes
"I cannot represent the town board and a privat.z
association at. the same time," Rothrock explained. "if
the assocunion wants to retain those two parcels, there
is a provision in the statul.es for the leasing of parks for
10·year periods pmviding improvements are- made du1"
ing the leasmg pe:;iod."
• Rothrock said a pre-trial conference has been sc:hed
u!ed Apd! l before Judge Earl D_ Morton, Circuit
Court, Branch L He suggested that if the association
intends to fight the release of the two parcels, il should
retain counsel ~ince the town attorney is not legally
at!le to represent the group
The association also charged that Rothrock represented the Salf'-'TI School District in a redi~trictmg
heanng in which residents of the Lake ShangrHa area
were seeking to be placed in the Bristol Grade School
District rather than the Salem Grade School District
"You are absolutely wrong:' Rothro,:k declared. "A
supreme court decision on tlle Greenfield case clearly
states that a town or a village has no standing in a
redlstncting case. Since I could not represent the Town
of Bristol, I did represent the .Salem School District
which I was retained to do."
Elfering admitted that the removal of the sJgn£ and
fence was done nt the direction of the town
Rothrock. explained that the state sult was over the
closing ot the two puhhc access areas to the lz!u•.
"Now that t,he fence is down and the signs have i;-{!en
removed, I would thmk there would be a good chance
that the lawsuH would be dropped smce the violations
have been eliminated," he said.
The association also objected to bacle; taJ<es which It
paid on the puhhc access areas, now the~ have beN:
ffi>slgnated for public ure, Rothrock said there !sa stale

Hollister said he, too, was in' favor of "balanced,

building codes,''
Elfering and Hollister also fielded questions
<~.bout building inspectors, bid operungs, junk yards
and Hy. ilO relocation.
Elfering said he expected stricter building

Inspectors, like the assessing system. When asked
why he did not pursue a coort suit on a junK yard

Deveioprnent of the Town of Bristol is the biggest problem facing the town, according to
Hollister.

Fonner Westosha editor Katherine {Mrs
Royce) Gallagher was one of two people paid
tnbute last. week by the Kenosha Achievement
Center, Bristol branch. Dr, John Richards, former
president of the KAC executive committee, was
, also honored.
Paula WilliaiiDJ, KAC program director, said

,"Mrs. Gallagher was always behind us when we
needed her_" She said, "The cente.r wanted to
say thank you now and forever," as 3he presented
to Mrs. Gallagher's family the plaque which will
be displayed on the building, Mrs. Gallagher died
Jan. 20.
As editor of the Westosha, Mrs. Gallagher
helped KAC with its public relations efforts, She
became acquainted with the center when she
stopped at its Slades Cornets office several years_
ago to have a sign made_ From that time on, she
was one of the organization' a most vocal

supporters.
""-- As a member of the Westosha Business and
1!Jibfessional Women's Club, she began an

alliance between the two groups that continues
today.
Fran DuOOwski, a registered nurse and BPW
member. said "Katherine came to the BPW and
told us KAC was ~omethlng we ~;ould get our
teeth into '' She said the women .~pent 842 hours
painting the rn~"-rior of the Bristol facilitY when it
first opened Mrs_ DuOOwksi spends time each
week at the facility as a nurse
"Kat.herine may not have done !my one-to-one
volunteer work," said Mrs. Williams, ''but she
knew the community and the work she did for us
with them was probably more importan~."
Michael Gallagher, C'hi<.:ago, who is Mrs.
Gallagher's son, and his father, Rovee. attended
the tribute at an open house April t'~l. They were
aceompanied by Mrs. Gallagher's R1ster11, Dorothy Kemp and Mrs Gertrude Thelin, and
long-time friend, Mrs. Trude Renwick.
"If Mom wa~ here, she'd remember the
others who helped," smd Galiagher. "l know no

BRISTOL - Despite temporary roadblocks created
primarily by Illinois residents, Robert Rogers is mov·
lng ahead with plans to develop a permanent Renais·
sance Village on the SO.acre site be purchased in the
southeast corner of the Town of Bristol
Rogers feels he has found his Shangrlla In Bristol
after years of searching for JJ. permanent location to
bouse his annual 16th century Renaissance Faire.
The major problem seems to be the static caused by
Dlinols residents, who are having some success In
cmwlncing Bristol residents that the falre \s something
other than desireable.
The site Rogers purchased is the former Stateline
Campgrounds located just west of I-94 and already
containing the necessary .commercial zoning needed for
' his operation

BiUSTOJ,. - Despite temporary roadblocks created
primarily by Illinois residents, Robert Roger~! is moving ahead with plans to develop a permanent Renaissance Village on the 81).-acre Site he purchased in the
southeast corner of the Town of Brtstot
Rogeis feels he hat found his Shangtila in Bristol
after years of searching for a permanent location to
house his annual 16th century Renaissance Faire
The major problem seems to be the static caused by
Dlinois .residents, who are having some success in
convincing Bristol residents that the faire Is something
other than desifeable.
The site Rogers purchased IS .the former Stateline
campgrOunds located just west of 1-94 and already
containing the necessary commercial zoning needed for
his operation,

BRISTOL- A futile attempt to delay construction of the
new town hall-fire station to give the planning board time to
consider alternate building sites was rejellted Monday night

\\ by the almost 300 electors attending the annual town

i\ meeting

.

Joseph Zubm, a member of the the planning board,

S: introduced tlie motwn whrch led to a string of opposing

:\ argwnents. Horace Fowler, who served on the board-

:? appointed bmlding committee, said the motwn was out of
,.·; order since constructwn b1ds were made on the basis of the

·\:surveyed plat of the present fire station property
:;: "The contractors were given letters of Intent subject to
··state approval of the plaM and that was received on Apnl7.
.:\*Under the condition that these contracts were let, I believe
S1 the motion 1s out of order "
Zubin argued that he made no reference to the building
-:-plat. "All 1 said was that the planning board review the
location wtth the town board befot·e proceedmg with
CQttstruction '
He cited the town ordinance on the duties of the planning
board and asked for an interpretation by the town attorneys
on whetner his arJ;<lment was valid

Us

defended the selection of the present site for the new
building
He said the planning board had the opportunity to rev1ew
the site selected and the committee mMde its recommendation~ on the basis of reasons cited by the bremen
'We picked that site feeling we could gJve you the best
pos~ible buildmg while staying within the $350,000 approved
by the voters last December," he said.
Rothrock sald he and Mason concurred on the interpretation of Sechon 20.06 which authorizes the plaonmg board w
review the location and architectural des1gn of town
buiidmg~ before fina.l town board action.

THE CONDITION of one of the tankers used by the fire
department was dted by I<'owler, who suggested that th<"
town meetmg con~ider appropriating funds to "give these
men the equipment they need!'
This brought aboul minor debates among the audience,
prompting Elfermg to recognt:.:e a motion to adjourn. A
voice vot~ on the adjournment motiOli was quit.e vocal on
both side~; however, Elfering Sii!d m his opmJon, the motion
carr,ed.
Durmg the lengthy sess\on, Fred Pitts, building inspec·
tor, reported 70 building permits w1th a total valuatwn of
$2,245,100 were Issued dunng the past year. He said they
included 29 new humes valued at $1,273,000; 24 additions and
remodelmgs, $208,000; six fam1 buildmgs. $87,000: six
garages, $14,100: four factory bulldings, $533,000, and one
bank bu:tding, $130,000.
Gunty, a town con~table, referred to the rash of fires in
the town during the past week and suggested that anyone
r.oting anything su~ptdous contad any of the three const-ables or the Sher~frs Departm~n(
He satd "We will not condone this type of Jction in our

In the meantime., some rE>sicients have already
made up their minds
Dal!l Nelson, fmmer town bo<U"d member who

"'rigmally supported the building at its present
site, sairl the town is committed (by annual
meeting action) W build at its current site.
Before considering a move, he said, the town
"must exhaust <ill avenues'' of huilding on the
odgmel site, Nelson and his suppmtero prefer to
move the complex forward on the site, an
alternative they clarm will keep lhe rwoject's cost
c!o~e to the $350,000 limit.
"We have the figures," h<" said at the t{)wn
board meeting, "we can shuw them to the
board ·'
Nelson and Ken Davis, who was a member of
the building committee until it was disbanded by
town board lli't:i.on this week, said lt would cost
$12,411 for footings to move the building forward;
$1,200 to rent space for fire vehicles dur:illg
construction (because the current building would
have to bE> razed); $_1,500 for wil boring tests;
$1,500 l;o move mi_d si.Ore radio equipment; $1,000
to cap the well on the site (ordered by the
Depa.'tment of Natural Resources); and nothing
to raze the building
"That makes the total cost $345,200 to move
the structure forward on the sit0," ll&idDavis,
Noel Elff.'!ting, town chrurnu:m, did not publicly
endorse an alt.ernative at the Jun'2-13 meeting,
!;>ut seemed to favor moving tlfe ~in ordet
to sell the Ore station and ~.ru$,_~_;?f the
money that he fools will 00 ffi -~'·'Of "the

$350,000 limit.
Elfering has said he -does not think thl
building C!l1l be built within the $360,000 limit at any site.
"If the town turns down giving us morl
money, we'd probably have to pay off th1
contractors arid we'd end up with no buildlng at.
all," he said.
Relocating the complex on its present sitt
would require an appeal to the zoning board o ·
adjustments for a variance because the ne"'
buildmg would he non-conforming," said attor·
ney John Mason.

ALTERNATIVES
Alternative sites being considered by the tow,'!
board il'iclude the Carl Krahn property, 1,500 fL
south of Hansen Park on Hwy. 45; and the AJi;
Palmen property which lirM across the road fron1
the lift .station at the ball diamond.
An alternative site in tha industrilll park wa1
rul~d out_ Said board member Ru:;~s Horton, "H
we build a $350,000 building we .won't want t1
hide it where no one can see it."
Costs of building on the alternative sites wei'J
estimates, but appeared to be elol!e to th.J
$350,000 figure, barring unforeseen problems.
But Nelson, Davi.~ and their supporter,!
argued that building on the present !lite woul' l
probably mean fewer surprllies than. relocating,
"We already know what the problems are O'l
this site,'' -said Davis, "Why move and take
chance on finding more?''

Initially, the to~tno board expressed concern over the
effect the f;ur(' would have on the rural commumty,

citing traEfic- problem~ expenenced in Lake County,
Ill., during the Hrst four summer faires.
Petitions were filed with the town board in February
opposing the faire and signed by 52 Bristol residents

and 32 Hlioois res1dents who claim they "?ould be
dmdly affected by it
Objections cited on ilie pet1tion are- The proposed facility had inadequate provisions
for crowd control and containment
-The senice road t-'Quld not adequately handle the
increase in traffic.
- Fatre actlyltie~ would depreciate land valaes
- Activities would have a negative environmental
effect on man and animals alike.
Last week, Elferin? informed r€sidents that in t.he
event promoters of the faire failed to apply for the
l!ceru;e, the town would ask for a restrain\ng order to
stop the {)peration am! request tbe shenfi to close tt
down.

the fair would llQt be in the

that the fair would generate

!11 court Tuesday, the town of Bristol agreed to issue
the amusement park Hcense to Greathall on an
an:;ended app!ication and will also issue them a campgrnund permit. The faire had previously stated it would
have 20 w 2a artisans staying overnight on the fairegrounds.
Over tl!e weekend, the Bristol had issued the faire

Greatball had previously challenged the constitutionality of the Bristol ordinance, saying it discrlmmated between private and government-related
operatwns. Yesterday, the faire promoters agreed to
drop that p('.nding lawsuit.
The County and Greathall aloo came to agreement on
their dispute. Greathall agreed to concur with certain

Elfering said at lea~t five citations,

All They Hope For
Is A Soft Landing
by NANCY POULER

Plummeting towards earth at 120 MPH
may not be everyone's idea of fun, but for
hundreds of area parachutists, its the ideal
sport for a week-end afternoon.
CavOI'ting with utter abandon, they somersault, twist and turn much like a swimmer
under water, as they free-fall from as high as
15,000 feet until they pull their chutes open at
about 2,000 feet above ground.
On any clear day when the wind is under 15
MPH, Rich Winfield's 60--acre flying field in
rural Bristol, just north of the lllinois line
will be the launching and landing spot for
parachutists from all over northern Illinois
and southern Wisconsin. Week--end days
average 60 to 80 regulars and ten or fifteen
students; jumping from dawn to dusk.
"The biggest day we've had was last summer when on one Sunday we took up 50 loads,
Winfield recalled. With three to four
parachutists in each load, that comes to bet·
ween 150 to 200 billowing multi-colored umbrellas which floated like confetti to the painted target on the grassy field.

WINFIELO AND his instructors, pilots
and ground crew are rE.l\ly every Saturday
and Sunday to fly Lh.e parachutists up in one
of their two planes. On week--days, if three or
more show up, they too will b€ ac
commodated_
. Although ex!)('rienced sky divers ~-·· .ru ••• ,
from as high as 15,000 feet without high
altitude training, Winfield's planes usually
go up to 7200 feet for the jump which allows
about 30 seconds oi time for "lots of free-fa1i
manuevedng,'' according to Winfield.
Six hour lessons are given every Saturday.
with the first jump taken ordinarily tha1
same day, he said.
"The first jump training is like teaching :'
baby his first step, From then on, you never
quit learning," the owner of Sky Hawks explained
Students who must W 1:3 years old, aN
equipped with two parachutes (main and
reserve) JUSt as all jumpers are. The dif·
ference is that the novice's main chute is '\
"low performance," army surplus chutf'
which is equipped with a: static line which
automatically opens the chute as they jump
from the plane
"Low performance" dGe< not mean tht>

fact that it ;s nor as manueverable as thc"high performance" chutes of experienced

Sky Hawks has groups who do exhibitions
as wen as compete in national USPA {United

of July week-end they did water
at nearby resort and performed

i!C';'d

Jump Master Steve Shaffer of Zion, with
425 jumps to his credit, has won the Midwest
Council College Division four times in a row.
THE NEW high performance chutes which
are shap€'d into rectangles or shapes other
than circular give the parachutist
manueverability similar to a glider. There
are holes strategically placed to steer them
and they are able to stali or even back up, if
n\'Z"('Ssary -- or if it would be fun.
Beginning equipment with surplus stock
which includes chute, coveralls, helmut and
heavy boots costs about four to five hundred
dollars, according ton Winfield. He supplies
st:ldents with theirs, and rents to anyone

without their own equipment.
When the jumper is seriously into the spWt
he usually invests in a high performance
chute which is custom..made and his equipment can run to$1,500.
Winfield, who was born and raised in
Bristol, has a partner, Frank Trko~ wbo
started his interest in tbe sport and taught
him to jump. Trkovsky, who previously was
connected with the Chicago Skydivers {110
longer operating) and Winfield began their
business in 1972
"Now "Winfield said with a sigb "I never

They fly twu Cessna 182 four place pJrures
which are set up for four jumpen, and must

BRISTOL - Legal hassles between the Bristol Town
Board and GreathaH of lll!nOJs, Ltd. have been resolved. and Noel Elfering, town chairman, said Monday
night the Doard will act on an amended application for
amusement park and campground licen~es.
Three restraining orders were resolved at a pre·trlai
(.'{)nference last week, according to Jon Mason, attorney
for the board.
Bristol had soughtJo close King Richard's Faire on
Stateline Rd. (Hy. WG) west of I-94, because Greatha!L
had not teen granted an amusement license. Greathali
fought the need for a license on the grolUlds it was
unconstitutional.
The county also filed suit against Greathali contenclirig the fatfe is in violation of the county's crowd
_control ordmance, which linuts attendance to 1,000

park
"They have indicated total compllance with these
terms," he said, "and they will De subject to inspection."
In addition, Greatha!l will carry a $1 milhon liabiilty
insttrance policy naming the town and <~djoming property owners as co-insttreds.
In applying for a campground permit,-Greathail has
agreed that there will De no more than 30 employes of
the faire on the grounds after closing hours during the
week. The number may be increased to 100 on weekends.
"We have indicated to Rogers (Robert Rogers, vicepresident and secretary of GreathaJI) that if ali these
nndition~ are met, the town will act favorably,'' said
Elfering.
In his report, Elfering said mspections by the town
board during two weekends of operation of the fairt' had
turned up only minor problems They included fairrl~n~n

to the
sheriff.''
Th!< value of his property was a concern of T. J.
Dooper, an Illinois resident and neighbor of !.he faire.
He said that m an assessment of his home, "King
RiC'hard s Fa ire IS listed as a detriment." and de·
manded to know what the Bristol board would do about
but the ·town does not control the road, That is up

""You are

iln Iilinois resident," said Mason. "This
board has no obhgatiou to you."
''I'm a resident of the United States," countered
Dooper, "and my property is being devalued by an
action of this board:'
Elfering promised action on the amusement park and
c~mpground license applications at a meeting set for
Saturday at 11 a.m. at the town hall.
·'l'm sure there will be more problems," he sald,
"especially with the trafftc, but we will keep as many

co~t.;:~!~.~s .£.~~~~le."

The town has applied for relief from the setback
requirement on Hy. AH and l9Bth St., a variance for a
triangle corner vision at the intersection and a lot line
van~ nee. In addition, the board is considering requesting a fifth variance to permit parking closer to the road
1f the building is constructed at the designated Slte.
Action at Monday night's meeting included approval
of two bartender license renewals for Richard Lawrence at Bristol House and Sharon Pecha, Howard
Johnson's.
The board also approved beer permits for picnics
planned Dy Charm,GJo oo July I~ and 30, and the Bristol
Driftbusters on Aug. 28.

BRISTOL - A spec1al town hoard meeting scheduled
for last S.Jturday was cancelled, pendmg the gathering of
additional mformatmn concerning the construction of
Bostol's new town hall-fire station complex.
A meeting with Bane· Nelson representatives, general
contr~d<1rs for the proJect, was scheduled thJs mornlng.
Noel Elfermg, Bristol wwn chairman, _qatd "We want to
sit down w1th tbe cnntractor again and go over some
flgures He has sa1d he- will go back to his sub-contractors
and try to fmd oome cost-cuttmg measures."
Thf' crux of the i~sue for Elfenng and hi~ board is
whether the new butldmg can be placed on the proposed
srte on Hy_ AH, across the street from the present town
hall, w1thout exreedmg $3SO,OOO specified by electors at
til!: annual meeting
When C'>ntrarts were awarded m March, planners were
not awa~e that the proposed buil<hng site contained large
amounts of flil SQil The site, where ground was broken
Apnl30, was found "unsuitable for building support" by
Milwaukee Testing Co
An alternate plan to move the building forward on the
stte to more smtable soil has run afoul of h1ghway
setback, 1nt.ersect10n vision and lot line requirements
The town has applied for four variances from the
Keno,illa County Board of AdJUStments
",1\Jter 'I'hur~ay's meeting, we don't know how that
wili turn out either," Elfermg said
The three"member adjustment board consists of Thomas Grady. Louis Jensen and Russell Horton_ Horton, also
a Bristol Board member, removed himself from de-Jibet·ating or voting on the 1ssue
At Thursday's meetmg, Jensen moved to deny permis:tion on the baSi$ that the bulidmg would be too close

I am a concerned resident
from the east end and a wife
of a proud, but paid, volunteer fireman. I am writing
concerning Bristol's town
board members, their stupidity and lack of intelligence. Your power overwhelms me and your authority to throw your weight
around. What a bunch of
donkeys. All the scandal and,
publicity the firemen are
getting is ridiculous. Not
only ridicule for the firemen
but also for you the people tn
that community.

A quote from Elfering,
"In defense of the action,
this will now bring Bristol in
line with other departments
in the western county." You
need more defense than
tbal. That's a poor excuse to
termlnate the firefighter's
pay. To compare with other
departments, did you take
into consideration that tile
men from Brit.ol do the
same work, or more work,
or have the same amount of
territory, or less, more or
less rescue calls or housefires, etc. This is very childish on the town's part. Not
only the town board member~~ but also the rest of you

people who maJr.£ the
munity The community
should stand behind the
firemen. U the community
can not get along thean what
makes a community? The
community should stand bt:hind the firemen at this time
for moral support and nol
only that but it will be you
the people of Bristol who
will pay per call.
A Jot of good the new fire
station will do when you
sooner or later find you no
longer have these men on
the volunteer department
that are skilled, happy for·
what they can do for the
community and happy to be
a fireman. At your town
meetings, why can't more
people attend them meetings and speak up or have ll
say so? Speak up and be
heard!
I am not against volunteer
work, in fact [ feel there
,should be more around_ But
why the attitude of this will
bring Bristol in line with the
other departments on the
west end. I feel the previous
town members felt it was
important and now w\th the
new members is not, what is
more important is to compare their department with
the whole other west end.
Give the credit where credit
is due.

Fireman's arson trial
off calendar again
'1';\.)·11

The second jury -trial scheduled for a former Bristol
assistant fire chief on an arson charge was scratched
from the Circuit Court calendar Tuesday. And there were
indications that the trial may never take place.
R1chard J. Mazurek, 39, Box 18Z, Bristol, last year was
charged with burglary and arson. He was accused tof
entering a garage at 83rd St and 199tb Ave. on MarchJ'],
1976. and setting fire to a truck In the garage. He was the
town's assistant fire chief at the time.
Last August, Mazurek. went to trial on the_ charges.
Dlll'ing tbe questiomng of a witness, the defense atw,ney
asked a question that the prosecutor felt was im"
pennJssJb!e and prejud!cla!. The state's subsequent
motion for a mistrial was granted by Circuit Judge Earl
Morton.
The case was supposed to have been rescheduled for
tnal but there were delays, The assistant district
attorney who handled tile case left to enter private
practice and a new prosecutor was assigned. Judge
Morton was ill for a lengtby period. Later, a June court
appearance was adjourned because the defenSI.' attorney
was on vacation.
The rescheduled jury trial was to have begun finally on
Tuesday. HoweveJ· before it could get underway,
Mazurek's attorney filed a motion seeking a dismissal on
1he ground tm dielit "has derued E spe'<!dy trial

gratulate Dist. Atty. John Landa

The settlement consumed many

county funds to settle, but a point
was made_ It will be a long time,
we predict before the Board or

We do not believe there was a

ample proof that at least a technical violation of the law was committed in two or more instances,

Fortunately a pawful and even

bypassed when !.he Board rnembers finally agreed to take the

crisis fuel money
By KARL FREDERICK
Staff Writer

Fewer than one-third of the minimum
lumber of Kenosha families who could be
ude<l by emergency fuel funds have ap>lied for such assistance, the Kenosha
;ounty Department of Social Services
'eported Wednesday.
Through the Emergency Energy Crisi~
.ntervention Program, which was created
n May to help low income families meet

ast winter's staggermg fuel bills, Wiscon;in was allocated $7.98 million, with

{enosha coUnty's share to be $98,867
The Wisconsin Department of Health
md Social Services, Division of Economic
\s.sJstance, said only about one-fourth of
,he $8 million allocated has been applied
'or In Kenosha County, about 30 per cent

Jf the funds have been sought.
A local Soc1al Services spokesman said
l20 appllcatwns have been received by the
lflice, wh1le at least 395 households can
::jll!l.hfy for the aid
The program, which began taking ap·
ilhCations Jww ZZ, wil! run through Aug
31_ 1971 Persons qualifying for assistance
can receive up \.o $250 applied lo outst~nd·
\ng fuel bills
Donald Percy, secret«ry of tht• st.,1te
lNpartment Gf Health ~nd Social Ser
I'Jces, sf>Jd per~ons whose fuelcr iitllitles
10-ere dJsconnecled, or threatened with
dtsconnectwn, or whose shelter costs
were high m relation to their income may
be eligible
''Famihes which spent more than 30 per
c<>nt of the nd monthly incmn<- (t1ke
home pay) for shelter costs last wi11ter
ffiliY be eligtble," he sa(d. "~or house"

holds contaming an elderly person over 65,
shelter costs need only have exceeded 20
per cent IJf the net monthly income "
Percy deflned shelter costs as including
fuel and utiiit1es in addition to rent or
mortgage payment and said renters who
pay their own utilities may even qualify.
l'he maximum number of households in
Wis<·onsm which could benefit from the
fuel aSSistance program would be 31,000 of
a potentially ~;ligible 200,000 and state
figures show that as of July 25 only five
per cent of those potentially eligible have
applied
Eligibility for the one-time assistance is
tied to gross mcome and household size
For example, a household of four must
P.lake kss than $609 a month to qualify and
a household of one must earn less than
$~0'J per munth for non"farm households
In taml households, a family of four must
earn less than $519 per month.
Percy also said all elderly persons who
do apply Will find that their needs will be
given prionty over all others
As soon as tne state notifies Kenosha
that funds are available, payments

Elfermg's remarks came near the end of a lengthy
but a.miable session designed to resolve differences
between the board and ftre department They have
been at loggerhead~ 6lfiCe June 30 when the board voted
to termmate its contract with the flremen

That action terminated payment of any wages to the
firefighters, but ooard members mdicated at that time
that re·negotJ.ation of the contract could mean a

possible pay-per-call arrangement.
The sttuation was further complicated when firemen
turned in wage sheets for the second quarter of 1977
April, May and June. the penod just prior to termi·
nation of the contract. Time sheets reflected charge& of
$5,79R50 for wages for the ~econd quarter, followwg
$2,694 m flnl quarter wages
Thl' town board balked at payment of the wages and
asked for records to substantiate them

A\thuugh the Tuesday meeting had bt>en requested by
attomey WHHam Ruetz, representing the Bristol Fire
Dt>partment for purposes of negotiaVng a new contract,
no attorneys were present, and Bohn said, "It !S our
hQpe that Uus can be settled without lsv,ryers."
"I don'! thmk there l& any pnmt in going into

Bohn 5aJd there have been several false alarms by
the same company, "but we can't .assume it's a false
alann when it comes m We shU have to treat it like the

Other flre calls durmg the three month penod
included eight runs to assist with highway rescue, four
fire& at dwellings, SiX ai other bmldings. and two each
for miscellaneous outdoor hres, vehicles and washdowns

Ellering said th<" board would ~-ote on paying the
second quarter wages when il meets Saturday morning.
"I'm satisfied with the records." he said
Board members and firefighters agreed to meet

"Rumors have been flymg," sa\d Bohn, "and I wa1,1t

are saymg the bo<~rd has a hst of people they want on

Elfermg, Cusenza and Sup. Russell Horton, all
assured Bohn that rumon of a "list" were unfounded.
'I've also heard that the b-'lard would lik~o> to appoint

Current practwe allows members of the department
to elect their own duef
"I would say 'yes· to that., sa1d Elfering. "I think

BR1STOL- l!:let"tors may have another opportunity
to vote on the cost of Bristol's new town hall-lire
station.
The Bristol town board Monday received additional
cost figures and voted to meet Thursday at 7·30 p.m.
for a final tally. "By that time we should have
everything added up,"' sa1d Noel Elfering, town
chairman. 'And we will make a decision on whether
or not to call a special meeting of the people."

decision by Kenosha County Board of Adjustments
that granted van:.nces at the s1te of consiructwn of
the new town hall·f!n:l statwn_
o Joseph Czubin, a member of the planning board,
charged that Bnstol's spec!al building committee
failed to comply with local ordinances and the state
open meeting law.
Hugh Burdick, a representative of Bame-Nelson,
Inc,, general contractors for the town hall-fire statiOn
complex, read a letter from his firm at the Monday
meeting detatling additional costs He said Varvil
Construction reported a $2,474 increase in labor,
material and the cost of a false start. A quote from
T1rabass1 and Sons for additional excavation will total
$15,750. and add1tlonal soil tests by Milwaukee Testing
Laboratores will cost $n5,
Otber costs for labor a1111 material, incurred because of delay m construction, according to Burdick,

Bffause of Hw length of time the bmlding co;npo.
nents have been on the sJte, the constJ·uetwn iirm can
no longer be held responsible I'm the condition of
prime pamt on stnwtural steel or fimshed coats on
other components "If to11eh-ups or repamtmg JS
requ1red, as determined by the owner, these cosi:s w1ll
have to be borne by tile owner." Burdick sa!d.
Contracts for the building complext were awarded
last March and ground broken April 30. But plans were
halted when Milv;aukee Testmg Co. lound a proposed
S!te on Hy AH across the street from the present town
halt '·un&uitable for bmldmg support" The testmg
finn reported that the ground contatned large
amounts of ft!l soil
The board constdered an alternative plan t.o move
the bUilding closer to Hy. AH, but the county zonmg
board of adjustments failed to approve the fiVe
variances needed for that plan.
A decJsion was then made to revert to the original
s1te. That ground could be made suitable, according to
infonnalwn rece1ved from contractors, by lowenng
footmgs to firm underlying soli or by undercutting_and
repldcmg the unswtable soli.

Legwnnaire's disease may have been
suspected, te.sts bad to be made at

"LegiOnnaire's dis_ease is a very

'"Now that we hav!:' ldentifled the

To the People of Bristol:
We are gomg through a difficult period in our growth,
one in which we find ne1ghbor pitted against neighbor,
family &gamst family and husband against wife.
This continued fighting can do nothing but scare the
commumty for years to come. The time has come when
we as a community must stop and evaluate where we
are gomg and let reason and compromise prevail.
Tlils town board is dedicated to building a new fire
~tation-town hall complex m the Town of Bristol. The
point of disagreement ties in the site location. Due to
poor sml conditions and limited property forcing a non·
conforming structure, a compromise proposal presented by Mr. Robert Pringle is a step in the right
drrection.
Let us evaluate what this site offers the community:

Town government is a unique and basic fOrm of
government m the United States. It provides for the
residents themselves to make major municipal de·
cisions_ The VOice of the people is heard through either
annual town meetings or special meetings. The func·
tion of these meetings is to present all the facts
concerning projects to the voters, hear their views
during a discussion period, imd have the people register
their final decision through a vote.
The Concerned Citizens group felt the actions of the
Bristol Town Board at the September 17 special
meeting were deceiving and made a mockery of this
town form of government.
The spe_clai meeting was called to ask the people to
appropriate a sum not to exceed $400,000 to construct a
town hall-fite station complex and to move the site.
This was done because the town board maintains that
the complel: cannot be built on the present site
approved by the voters at the annual meeting for the
allotted amount of $350,000, even though they have in
their possession contracts and figures showing the cost
b fact to be ul\der that. amount.
Tbe people of Bri;;to! attended tlJis special meeting
~o doubt thin\ong tt was legittmate, They also no douM
thollght that the sum of ~400,000 requested by the town
tJoard was the total for the project This was not true,
for the sum requested was only for construction of the
building, and did not include the cost of purchasing the
site, which would increase the cost of the total package
by another $81,400. This makes the true total cosl of the
project $41!1,400
The Concerned Citizens group believe the people
hi!Vf' a right to know the true p1cture of the costs, and
also believe it is the duty oi the town board to present
al! these costs as honestly as they are able. They feel
this was not done by the l:xlard.

discussion was held, approximately 180 people were in
attendance at the meetmg. By the time the voting was
done, nearl;Y 400 people had voted. The Concerned
Cttltens believe that at least 200 of those who voted
were not at the meeting for the presentation of the
facts, nor for the discussion period.
These people could not have realized that they were
in fact voting for a package costing much more than
$400,000. It was difficult enough for those attending the
entire meeting to figure out. These people could have
easily beeo deceived by the wordmg of the motion, and
deprived of their right to know the total cost of what
they were voting for and would have to pay for.
Responsible town government does not try to railroad a motion through by neglecting to tell the people
the facts they have a right to know as citizens and
taxpayers. The people want the truth, and they have a
rtgh.t to it.
Other reasons for the rather unusllill actions taken by
the Concerned Citizens to reconslder the motion were

meeting were deceiving and made a mockery of this
town form of government.
The s~c!al meeting was called to ask the people to
appropriate a sum not to a:ceed $400,000 to construct a
town hall-fire station complex and to move the site
This was done because the town board maintains that
the complex cannot be built on the present site
approved by the voters at the annual meeting for the
allotted amount of $350,000, even though they have in
their possession contracts and figures showing the cost
in fact to be under that amount.
The people of Bristol attended. this special meeting
no doubt thinking 1t was legitimate. They also no doubt
thought that the sum of $400,000 requested by the town
board was the total for the project. This was not true,
for the sum requested was only for construction of the
building, and did not include the cost of purchasing the
site, which would increase the cost of-the total package
by another $81,400. This make~ the true total cost of the
project $481,400.
The Concerned Citizens group believe the people
have a right to know the true picture of the costs, and
also believe it is the duty of the town hoard to present
all these costs as honesUy as they are able. They feel
this was not done by the board.

Democracy or d!ctatorsbtp, whatever happened to the democratic system in the Township of

issue by ballot at the Bristol
Town Hall Saturday, Sept.
17liJ, and then went tmm'~'

behevmg that their vote
meant something, win or
lose they felt that their vote
would count. Net so, for
when the honest voters went
home, the formei town officials along with about 20
uthers decJded that the town
who voted didn't count.
They di~rupted the dosing
of the town meeting and said
'': they wouln decide the issue

is running our town. E11ery

sure is enough talk from
other people trying to !moc.k

I think it's about time the
people of Bristol gave our
elected officers a vole of
confidence and started
working together instead
stabbing the officers in
back every chance

The fire station and town

Confer with our town attorney on a few matters, but
1bis_.tl.idn't stop people like

Charley Ling and a few
others from putting on their
own charade of a meeting,
What did Uus illegal show

prove? Nothing, absolutely
nothing
Mr. Hollister, as an
exalted member of the county board and ex·Bristol Town
Board chairman, should
have known better and so adVISed the rest their actions
carry no legal merit of any
'ltind.
Mr, HoUister and Mr.
Nelson should also know by
now how to take a beating
like gentlemen. They have
been beaten before, prior to
yesterday's vote and by their
bullish, uncompromising actions of the last. year will undoubtedly get it again,

'
Plans are already bemg made for next summer's
Renaissance Faire w Bristol, according to Robert
Rogers, vicCiJresident and secretary of Greathall of
nlinois, Ltd
"Financially we dld considerably better than we have
in prevwus years," Rogers said. ''And m general we
l!re quite happy with this past summer. We an• very
happy with the Site in Bnstol, and feel the pronmtty to
Clncago and Milwau.lc:ee haS really helped attendance.
, The perrruanence we are trying to achieve with th1s s1te
will hopefully. guarantee attendance records in the
future."
This was the fifth year for the faire, which W:J.S
previously held at several locations ln northern I!lmOIS
Rogers had been searching for a permanent site before
he found 80 acres in Brlstol To~mh1p last year
FOLLOWING THE PURCHASE of the property, a
battle began between Greathall and Bnstol Township
officials, who were opposed to the faire
'·Due to the controversy w1tb officials in Bnstol and
some adverse press, we d1d li.ise qt~ite a few artists The
problem was we didn't even know if we would ·b.,_
holding a faire at all, or if it would open on time Many
of the artists didn't want to giJ through the trouble of
setting up if nothing wa~ gomg to happen But those who
did partic1paW are getting the word out, and we are
planlling on a 25 to 30 pert:"ent- increase next year "
Tins was the first year for theme weekends to
encourage peopl!:' to visit the fair early and often "Our

some, dropping some from last summer. ·We are still m

''Sp'eclal' people man rescue squads
By DlANA DeHAVEN
I c /t) )
Staff Writer
Chances are good that whenever an accident occurs
on the htghway or in a home, one of the four western
Kenosha rescue squads will rush to the scene
What are the people like who man these vehicles?
"All of us are volunteers, and we get nothing out of lt
except knowing that we've helped somebody," Richard
Schlagel, first lieutenant on the Salem Township
Rescue Squad, said. "We are dedicated to the commumty It takes a spec~al kind of person, You haw to
be interested In people and willing to take on responsibility_ A lot of it is common sense, too.
"People who are mvolved in the rescue squad are
involved in a lot of community things. It seems lik:e
most people on the squad help in a lot of ways, 4-H,
church groups, things !Ike that. It takes a person wl!ling
to do anything_"
Carl Schultz, eaptain of the Silver Lake squad;
William GlembockL acting chief of the Bristol squad;
Don Ranker, captain of Twin Lakes, and Schlagel all
agree that the main reason anyone joins is for the sense
of satisfaction helping others giVes them.
"This is just what I've wanted to do aU my life,"
Glembocki saJd. "You have to ask yourself why you are
willing to give up meals, nights out with our wife, be
ready to jump at a moment's notice. There is a lot of
traming involved. It 1s time conswning. But there is an
intense sense of satisfaction. The job was there and tt
got done)'
"You.bave to he interested in it," Schultz said. "You

7

den 'l get anythmg out of il except personal satlsfaction.
Re<!lly, the only reason I initially got interested is I can
remember the excitement of sirens going off and my
dad ju_mping out of bed in the middle of the night. As
soon as J was old enough I joined. I was scared at first
to make calls But since then wo:>'ve handled everything.
Like one mght we got a can to bandage a little girl's
foot. But its from there on up to heart attacks,
drcwnings, accidents. We're ready for any disaster."
The state recently pas11ed a law that all volunteers on
a rescue squad must he f'me~gency medlcal techni·
c1ans. Be<:oming an EJI,-IT requir<>s a lot of time,
approx-imately three hours of ('[ass each week for slx
months, plus four hours of homework,
''Thhst of us have about l7Jl hours of training,"
Schlage) said. ··But the trainir~ is worth it. It helps us
as well as our familles and the public,"
"I don't think the amount training is discouraging
to memhen,"Giembocki
"There is a certain
unknown factor and training remon:~s that. The average person who sees an accident happen is at a Joss as
to what to do. The trainin~ removes this."
'You have to get people or; the ~quad who are willing
100 percent, who are interested in liJ.e whole ball
" SChultz said. "We don't make it easy to get on
the squad.
"We have a couple of 19 year olds and one guy who is
70 who didn't jom untn he was i:lO, and up until a couple

BRISTOL--There was reconciliatlon in the air Monday night at a meetmg of the Br1stol Town Board.
But trial balloons of agreement. launched by both
Sides in a lengthy dispute, may yet be shot down by
legal hassles.
The three-man board, chaired by Noel EJ!ering.
agreed to declare its intentions in writing. They
directed Jon Mason, town attorney. to draft s letter

without further delay
In return for speedy progress on lfle

If successful in court, the writ would force the town

Because the squads are run entirely on donations,
they must have community support to he successfuL A
lot of time is put m not only making calls but raising
funds for new equipment.
"What we are doing is for them (the community) not
us," Schultz said. "If they didn't have a squad, they
would have to do themselves what we do A lot of people
would die that way. If It wasn't for the squad j~t

"People like to see us," Schlagel said. "They always
say thank: you. Most people here are proud of the rescue
squad. I love to be on calls. People make me feel like
I've done soffiething for them. Even if they don't say
thanks, you can see it in their faces. I've heard
comments tnat they'd just as soon have the squad as
the doctor helping because a doctor doesn't have m-thefield training like we do. I think that is true of every
squad in the county,"
"We're just helping other people," Ranker Said. ''It
is a good feeling when you help somebody. You have to
have that outlook because of the hours put in. Weare all
different kinds of people on the squad but we have that
in common."
"Basically an it takes is someone who wants to
help," Glembocki said. "But you have to have character, I don't think being an EMT builds character. I think
it already has to be the,re."

involved in a lot of community things It seems like
most people on the squad help ln a lot of ways, 4-H,
church groups, things like that. It takes a person willing
to do anything."
Carl Schultz, captain of the Silver Lake squad;

Sristol town hall plan
outlook brightening

BRISTOL-There was reconciliation in the air Monday mght at a meeting of the Bristol Town Board.
But tnal balloons of agreement, launched by both
sides in a lengthy dispute, may yet be shot down by
legal hassles.
The three-man board, chaired by Noel Elfering,
agreed to declare its intentions in writing. They
directed Jon Mason, town attorney, to draft a lelter
promismg construction of the new town hall-fire statwn
without further delay_
In return for speedy progress on the bmlding
gram, the board seeks dismissal of a writ of
damus, filed by Dale Nelson, former town supervisnr,
and more than 100 co-stgners.
If successful in court, the writ would force the town
to construct the building at the originally proposed site
on Highway AH, across the street from the present
town halL A new site at Highway AH and U.S Highway
45 is now being considered
Though Nelson conceded that he might be wining to
withdraw the writ, "There are 130 names on that writ
and a good many of them will not withdraw. They feel
very strongly about their position," he said.
The complex issue of where Bristol should build its
new town haJJ-fire station and how much it should cost
began la~t year when·voters approved spending $350,1}00
for the structure. The designated site on AH was found
to be unsuitable because of underlying fill sod.
Some residents of the town are insistent upon the
Qriginal site_ ·with tbe building erected closer to the

Because the squads ·are run entirely on donations,
they must have communtty support to be successful. A
lot of time is put in not only making calls but raising
funds for new equipment
"What we are doing is for them (the community) not
us," Schultz said. "If they didn't have a squad, they
would have to do themselves what we do. A lot of people
would die that way. If it wasn't for the squad j~<st
stabilizing and giving oxygen, many wouldn't make it
to the hospital."
"People like ta see us," Schlagel said. "They always
say thank you. Most people here are proud of the rescue
squad. I love to be on calls. People make me feel like
I've done solnething for them. Even if they don't say
thanks, you can see it in their faces. I've heard
comments tl'lat they'd just as soon have the squad as
the doctor helping because a doctor doesn't have in-thefield training like we do. I think that is true of every
squad in the county."
"We're just helping other people," Ranker said. "It
is a good fee-ling when you help somebody. :You have to
have that outlook because of the hour~ put in_ We are all
different kinds of people on the squad but we have that
in common,"
"Basically all it takes is someone who wants to
help.'' Glembocki said "But you have to have character. I don't think being an EMT builds character. I think
l.t already has to be the,re,''

Town hall dispute
headed for court
By JAMES ROHDE

II~ I - 7

Staff Writer
BRISTQL - The splrit of compromise
did not prevail at Monday night's Bristol
,Town Board meeting, so it appears the
controversy surrounding the town hall-fire
station. will have to be resolved by the
counrts
Jon Mason, town attorney. read a letter
to Willian Ruetz, colillsel for Dale Nelson
and a group of citizens, in which he
assured that "the town board has every
intention of commencing construction on
the compromise site as soon as the legal
1ssues have been resolved." The legal
ISsue involves the writ of mandamus
Ruetz imtiated on behalf of the concerned
Citizens to force the town board to begin
construction immediately Mason said
that to date, he has not received any
re~:>ponse to the letter A hearing on the
writ is scheduled ior_Friday, Nov. 11, at 1
p_m_ in Ctrcuit Court, Branch 1.
Horace Fowler, who served on the
original building committee which recomml?hded the existing fire station site for
the buildmg, explained V'.'hy he was hesitant to remove his name from the writ
even though his main concern was in
seeing the building constructed.
He said he was concerned about the
legality of the board action in scheduling
the Sept. 17 special town meeting and the
vote to approve an additional $50,000 and a
new Site.
"[haw no objection to the compromise
site," Fowler Said. '·I'm only concerned
that the building be erected and the writ is
tor the court to force you to put it up."
Maoon satd, however, the writ calls for
the bulld:mg to be erected on the original
site. not a compromise site.
Chester Boyington, former town supervisor, sa1d he first favored selling the old
-town hall and fire station buildings in
order to build a new complex but was
fought on the issue.
"1 am not going to take my name off
that.writ,'· he declared.

Time tord)·reappraisal

/j;

Kenosha's practice of charging
hr rescue squad service has been
\",ilth a failure and a success.
It has failed to be the source of
revenue city officials thought it
would be_- As of Sept 30, only
$22,100 had been collected A
large portion of that money was
probably lost to wages and materials needed to bill and maintain
the program. The actual amount
the city gained is no doubt small.
What the fee has succeeded in
doing is cutting down the number
ct non-emergency calls made by
tile rescue squad. Calls for the
first nine months of 1977 were
cl.Jwn 27 per cent from the same
last year. It is doubtful that
emergencies occurred duringthistime. Rather,peoplewere
more cautious in calling the
in non-emergency situRescue squad service, however,
cannot be judged by the number of
calls. It is a service that is there
safety, to meet a need
3.t any time of day or
rescue squads are out
unnecessary calls, they
adequately respond to a
r"al emergency situation when it
anscs.
The service is not cheap. In 1977
t'le fire department budgeted
$4@,518 for rescue souad service.
By cutting waste out. of the city's
emergency service, it may be
p0ssitle .to forestall the future
purchase and manning of another

rescue squad team.
With the financial problems the
city faces today, it can hardly
afford to provide such an expensive service if it is, not really
needed. A new rescue squad today
costs almost $25,000, plus nine
men, complete with wages and
fringe benefits, to man it for 24hour service.
We are not agamst charging a
fee for rescue squad service.
Abuses have occured in the past
and they will certainly reappear if
the fee IS taken off completely_
The City Council would be wise
to lower its fee of $40. A charge of
$15 should be sufficient to discourage people from using the
rescue squad as a taxi to the
hospital. It would not, we feel,
discourage those people who really need rescue squad service from
calling< a situation we fear may
exist now.
·
Lowering the fee does not mean
the city will lose the ability to
generate revenues from its rescue
squads. It's easier to collect $15
than $40. The Council should put
the city attorney to work immediately to find a legal way to
force those people who use the
rescue squad to pay for it.
If done properly, a rescue squad
fee can be a real benefit to
Kenosha taxpayers. It can generate revenue for the city and provide better emergency protection
by ending useless and unheeded
calls.

"They asked me if I had
an opportunity would 1 go to

told them i would just as

"Women should have the

eqaal pay if they are qualified. But if they want what
men have, just because men
have always had It, then
tt\at's a little different"

As far as Mr:s. Gilmore i8
concerned, me on tbe farm

''I love !arm life. Tllereis

a minority group and only
make up three percent of
the population of this coun·

can produce makes me feel
really good."
The ABC Interviewer
asked Gall Zirbel to explain
what kind of day she had and
asked her how she liked
workmg with the equlpment
and living on a farm.
"I love living on a farm,"
Zirbel said. "There is a lot
M personal pride Involved
You cal! walk mto a barn

You plant crops and watch
them grow_ You are helping
feed the people ln this coun·

Zirbel alw agrees that
equal pay for equal work: Is
fine But she feels a lot of
women don't really know
what' tl'.ey want in life and
are expecting too much out
of the word "liberation."
•·My brothers treat me

the board considers chargmg for rescue squad serVices "What you are doir)g is us1ng the fire depart·
ment for a whipping post,.,. Beyers said.
Elfering explained the reason for the charge was to
elumnate non-emergency calls.
Fowler told Elferlng that 1t would be hard to
determtne what actually was an emergency. "You
m1ght have a widow with four or five children trying to
exist on welfare when one of the youngsters gets hurt
fu she gomg to call the rescue s:juad or is sl1e going lo
try and handle it herself and save the $4()? I as a
taxpayer would rather eontnbute m;> share of the tax
to keep the rescue squad operating without a charge
than to put a fmancial burden on someone who could
not afford Jt •·
Arthur (Spud) Magwitz posed a hypothetical in<:ident where the squad was called out by the sheriff's
department ··How can you collect from that person
when he actually never made_ the cal!7''
E\!ermg said that the board did not expect to collect
100 percent of the bme hut felt that unplementi.ng the
charge would reduce ,~oroe unnecessary calls
William Cusenza, supervisor, gave a couple of
el(amples of calls which he felt were non-emergency
thal unmed1ately drew charges from the audtence
askmg for proof of the statement.
Charge~ and countercharges started going back and
forth betwel.'n the board and audience until Elfering
tmally adjourrwd the hearmg statoog that the board
would conMder the resolution when it met Saturday_
The only pf(lblem 1s that the board later cancelled

The board formaUv name Donald Wienke as fire

Wienke's salary was set at$1,~ per year plus call

The alleged unpropneties surrounding the Bristol
Oaks Country Club liquor license were explained b~
Jon Mason, town attorney, who read a letter from
Scott Thom_ attorney with the firm of He1de, Sheldon.
Hartley, Thoro and Wiik who represents the country
club
In Thorn's letter he state that the Bristol Oak!
Countl:) Club Corp. was being organt:~:ed to operate thf
restaurant and bar m which the corporation woul<
have a Wist'onsm re~ident as its director as well a!
two Wisconsin resident~ as officers
Mason ellplained that tile Alleged chargeS agains
the l.'orporatwn included the auctioning off of liquci\
which has been suspended ;the Improper li<'ense whicl
~~ now in the process of being changed with thl
corporation papers and that the originat· appUcatim
was uot duly sworn to
Mason sa1d that once the articles are approved b'
the state the board should ~chedule a p_ublic hearing t
act on tht' new corporation license. He added thai
'"they have a license i.o operate but 1t's a defectiv•
lir-ense ''
The b(l.lrd agreed ;,.o meel with the BrL~tol Oak

BRISTOL - Action on the controversial rescue
squad cnarge has been tabled unb.l the annual town
meeting next ApriL
The town board had included the matter".on
Saturday'~ agenda after its introduction at a public
hearing Dec 12. but a motion by Supervisor Russell.
Horton and Noel Elfering, town chairman, tabled theresolution until next year
Oppo&ltion to the proposed $40 per <'.all charge was

a1red earlier this month despite Elfering's explanatwn
that the charge was necessary to ehminate nonlmergency calls.
Most opponents felt the charge would only
residents in need and senior cttizens and was,
reality. a double charge for services beNuse the
emergency unit is funded in part by property taxes
under the town budget.
The resolution had onginally been ell--peeled to go into
effect Jan. l.
The board met with repre~entatives of the Bristol
Oaks Country club on alleged Improprieties surround·
ing the club's liquor license Rod Blood of Bristol Oaks
told the board that officers were forming a Wisconsin
<~orporatlon naming himself as president, chairman
and director and Leonard Eibl as vice president and
!!e('Ietary.
The club had been cited by the state alleging
, Jnm,roprieties regarding the corporation as well as the
auchomng o! liquor, Which has since been suspended.
Jon Mason, town attorney, sa1d he will inspect the
cmfporatlon's charter befon: a public hearing is sched·
ul~d m which the board could aci on the new license
ap)llicabOH.
)I'he board also met with Eugene Krueger, newly
,la),ipomted fire chief, to d1scuss the repair of the siren on
'>Rescue Unit 27, scheduled to be taken to Milwaukee
today for serviCe.
Krueger also notified the board the department will
hold an equ1pment ch<'ck at its ne,;t meeting and a Hst
of equipment needs will be submitted to the board for
consideratiOn.
,
He asked for permissi;:.n to purchase a lockmg tool
box and small tools ne<'essary for minor repairs oo-tlw
vehicles, and the board took the request under advise-ment
Krueger urged town support of Assemb-ly Bill 322,
whlch would provide monetary rebate to local umts for
highway calls and Senate Bill 458 which would require
tlle USP of red hghts only on emergency vehicles.
In other actwn, the board
-Adopted a resolution for the state to conduct an
audit of town books
--Directed the chairman to sign the slx:lrt-term
advance in lieu of a treasurer';, bond for the collection

changes in his
w:ne when young

wa~ negle~t,-Now,

T!wy do wash their

hair and believe something has to be done. Socame the advent of the hair stylist. The young
people wear long hair, but styled. There is pride
now U\ how they look. When I came out from
Kenosha 20 years ago, l charged $1.25- that was
considered high then. Now haircuts are $4, hair
style~ start at $11 and go up to $15 and $20.
"Also, ladies are barbers now - they do hair
shaping, cutting and perms, The barbershop now
offers services same as for women. Men are
learning to.use products to care for the1r hair, so
products an~ a big part of our busmess"I have seen many, many changes in hair
styles - flat tops, crew cuts - then came the
Beatles. Young people do set styles -older people
complain about it, but we still have long hair- If
anyone thinks this ls a man's world, well -·ladies
~et the style_ Long hair will stay as long as women
want it.''
The barbershop has gone from onf' to four
employees, trained by The Roffler Institute,
which holds seminars to keep up with the latest
styles.
Walker talked about future expectations for
tiw area. "ln ten years, you won't believe what
wil1 happen out here- because of Hwy. 50. West
of I-94 will be a bedroom community and east of
l-94 wi!l be the metropolitan area. I attended a
Southeast Regional Planning Commission meeting 11 or 12 years ago and everything they
predicted has come true.
"We've got to go along with the times. We
can't 'ltup gro·mh. Growth will be phenomenal,
b<ecause of people moving out of the city. So I
don't see any zero population growth out here,
becausR of familieg moving out with their
ehild.ren.
"Gotte go west- can't go east," he said with a

Regarding the pr'Jblems of teens with nothing
