Doris Magwitz was a long time Bristol Township Treasurer and wanted these materials
to be available to people ( 11 /2007). Her clipping efforts were diligent and provide a nice
bit of history between 1963 and 1999 in 19 scrapbooks I 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.

BRISfOL
A ground water table that
approximately seven feet per year is causing serious
concern lor Bristol residents who are supplied hy the
v1llage well.
Louny R Hoover of Hoover Well Service, Zion. Ill.,
told tjle Bl'istol Town Board Friday, "The prohlem is
~enou~ and should receive your immedmte cons1dera·
hon
Hoover, whose finn installed Well No.1 in 1968, said,
"f!rt' stalk water level was originally measured in 1%8.
at 215 feeL Measurements in the pumphouse this week
mdKate the static level has declined at the rate of
approximately seven feet per year and is now estimated at a depth of 280 feet.
"W1tl1 this continued decline, we can anticipate a
static water level of more than 350 feet during the next
10-vear period."
The Bristol wat~Jr system includes a sandstone well
penetrating the Galesvi!le sandstone fonnation at t,169
let"t .\50-horsepower (hp) turbine pump with a rated
capacity o! 320 gallons per minute is installed to a total
depth of 340 feet. Water storage is pr'-'vided with a
5.118-gJ.l!on hydro-pneumatic tank.
fhe water level in the well has lowered to a critical
pomt r!.'qUiring a reduction in the well pump capacity,
accordmg to Hoover.
"We-ve had to pinch it down to 180 gallons per
mmute;' he said.
He said a rev1ew of original well test data indicates
that a capacity of 300 to 500 gallons per minute should
be available from the well if the pump is set deeply
enough and proper horsepower applied.
"Pumping at tllese rates will cre<ee draw-down in
the well, resulting in a pumping water level of 390 to 460
feet under the present conditions. The pumping water
level w1!l decline with the static water level, so tliat in
a lQ-year period, a pumping water level of 4W to 5W
feet can be anticipated."
Hoover said the capacity of the system could be
Improved by setting the pump deeper. following the
Iowermg water table, hut "the existing bowl section is
not capable of operating efficiently from the deeper
~ethng'' and should be replaced with a unit designed for
mcreased pressure
In addition, the increased pump setting would reqUire more horsepower in the driver as well as more
column and shafting. Hoover described these as "maJOr modifications to a unit that is now 10 years old."
He recommended removing the pump from service
and designing a new unit ''for the immediate and future
needs of the community."
Asked for recommendations on replacement pumps,
Hoover offered three alternatives: (1) a 75-hp submersible pump installed to a depth of 550 feet, {2) a 75hp !m€ shalt turbine pump at 600 feet, and {3) a lClO-hp
!me shaft turbine pump at 650 feet.
A pump of more than 100-hp would involve major
modihcations to discharge piping and electrical power
serviCe to the tmilding, while anything smaller than 75hp would limit production capabilities
Hoover said a submersible pump is more readily
a>"ailable and costs less but has "disadvantages inherent with equipment placed in underwater service.
W€ notiJ from experience that submersible units require considerably more service than verticle Hne shaft
turbine pumps."
Betore decisions on a new pump or modification of
the old unit will be undertaken, N(IIJ\ Elfering. town

This week's interview is with Carol Merkt.

From 1959 when the first jar of his famous
cheese was created by George Merkt to the
present-day produdion of 60 to 70 containers a
minute, this is the !!tory of a growing and thrivir,g
business in BristoL
The company is now presided over by Carnl
Merkt, who was bom in Salem. She worked as a
dental assistant and later for an attorney hu
alw&ys kept the records for the cheeee busine~s
At times she also did the cleanmg in ihe plant but
said she never wanted to do just cleaning-· "'I got
enough of that at home_ I wasn't putting anything
into my he& d." She said she always enjoyed her
outs1de jobs. ''I should have been paying them (,()
work."
When they bought the Home State Bank
building from the Muhlenbecks, the Merkts did
all operations in their business manually. When
they bought the first cutter, which cnst $3,500,
Mrs. Ml.'rkt wondered how they would pay for i\;
Today, says Carol, "I'm nnt afraid of anything. Youlooeall fears when you do the best you

can.''
Merkt's employs i 7 people now, but the
business still remains homey -· more like a big
family. Carol said, ··we can't make enough
chtcese. We can't take anv new business; we-tum
it all down. We have no salesmen. They take lt
awfly from usl"
Eventually, with;n fiv£- years, the ('.heese

The place downtown will be for manufacturing·

''This will someday l:w a very large company. I

BRISTOL - The possibility of developing a 33-acre
tract of land east of the .unincorporated village of
Bnstol was brought to the town hoard's attention
Saturday, raising questions concerning utility services.

about the acquisition and development of 33.43 acres of
the former Leslie Gunter property for a subdivision

Noel El!ering, town chair·
man, said the board selected
Frederick Redlin as the as-

the

pumpmg of 150 gallons per minute. He said in order to
get service to the area, a meeting of the utility distrid
would be necessary regarding annexation of the land to
tlw distnct.
The developers were advised to get additional tnlormation from the county zoning office regarding
developments before a special district meeting is
scheduled
In other business, the board heard a report from the
Department of Natural Resources, which inspected the
Bristol landfill Friday, recommending the entire perImlter of the landfill be tiled so the drainoff will go
through the sewer system instead of into the town
waterways.
Henry Fredericks requested a holding tank pen11it to
permit construction on a 40-acre parcel in the Woodworth area, and the request was taken under advisement by the board.
El!ering said he received a letter from E. L. Crispell
of the engineering firm of Jensen and Johnson,
Elkhorn, informing the board that the Bristol Heights
subd1v1sion hRs not been included in either the sewer or
water districts. He recommended the districts take
measures to annex the land.
The board discussed the manner the subdivision
construction of utilities and roadwork were handled
stnce Fredericks, the developer, did not pay any hook·
up fees. The matter was referred to the town attorney.
Mark Little, of Wheeling, TIL, told the hoard he was
mtHested in operating an educational book: store in

The board received two informational letters from

sperial meeting will be held at 7:3(1 tonight when six
eand!dates nominated by the association for assistant

The hoard was notified by Jensen and Johnson of a

BRISTOL- The fl<'!W town hall-fire
'station complex m Bnstol Township
will be bmU at the intersection of
County Highway AH and 198th Avenue, the Site of the present fire
station
An issue that has split the Bristol
community and been the subject of
many thousands of spoken and written words, was finally laid to rest by
862 voters at a spec1al Saturday meet·
mg
Almost half of the town's registered voters turned out for the daylong polbng at Bristol Consolidated

The "Great Bristol Fire Station
Controversy" is over. Or is it?
Proponents of the site that eventually prevailed in Saturday's
election last week mailed a posilion paper to Bristol residents. It
contended that "savings on Site.
No. 1 could be used to implement
dale Nelson's proposal of last summer to build a sub-station some.
where in the south end of the
township."
Nelson, former town supervisor,
and a leader of the faction that
favored the original - and win·
ning- fire station-town hall site,
had called for improved fire ser·

vured butlding the new structure at

the stte of the old fire station. The
other 419 votes were cast for an
alternate site at Highways 45 and AH.
There was one spoiled ballot

Elfcrmg'~ instructions set the wheels

vice to the Shangri-La and Rainbow Lake Manor area. The town
board believed improved service
to the subdiVISIOns would result
from a S1te No. 2 !oration for the
fire station.
Sunday, William Cusenza, town
supervisor, sa1d the board will
select a committee of planning
board members to begin a
feasibility study for a sub-station
That committee will be asked to

mg "a nullity" and ordered that the
issue be plared before the Bristol
voters a thtrd time
As part of that order, Scott appointed Court Commissioner William
U. Zievers referee for the special
election. Specific rules governing the
balloting were agreed to by both sides
m the dispute.
Advocates of each site were given
an opportunity to state their case
Saturday morning, before balloting
began. Voting by paper ballot began
precisely at 10:30 a.m., with a click of
the tid of Ziever·s gold watch, the
offic1al clock.

The site chosen by Bnstol voters
Saturday is the same one approved at
a town meeting in December 1976,
when a $350,000 construction limit
was imposed.
Difficulties developed later when
test borings revl."aled underlying fill
soil and a considerable increase in
cost to correct the condition. A second special town meeting was ca!led
in September and resulted in a dis·
puted vote to relocate the building on
a new site not (ar away on Highways
AH and 45. The alternate site was
favored b:' Elfering and other members of the town board

About 100 voters we1·e present
when balloting started, but hundreds
more trickled in steadily all day.
Z1evers kept an eye on the process,
and even periodically checked the
striped voting booths to be sure no
campaign literature was left inside.
At exactly l! p.m Ztevers consulted
the offJcial watch again and declared
the 1·oting ended. Two voters rushed

When the ballots were counted, the
tally gave a 462.-419 victory to Nelson
and his supporters, followed by a
congratulatory handshake from
Elfering.
Nelson first said he was "speech·

people of Bristol wanted the fire
station right where it is now and I
think many of them felt poor

the special September meeting."
Speaking for the town board, Wil·

as Sorenson receives town, county and state approval
A drawing presented to the board showed a parking
lot with 16 spaces north of the structure with access
from 84th Place, a charted town road not yet constructed.
The planning bciard stipulated that the buildlng
conform to county and town zoning ordinances. It also
called for the developer to build and maintam a
temporary driveway on 84th Place, until the town
constructs the road.
Immediately after approval, Sorenson presented the
town board with an offer to purchase the land for $5,000.
Sorenson discussed constructing two eight-unit
apartments at the town board meeting Jan. 30. After
gettmg approval for the one acre parcel, he asked and
received the approval of the planning hoard for a first
option on an adjoining acre to the north for six months.
Richard Krahn requested a change in zoning from
agricultural to residential for three acres at 2.G3rd
Avenue and 82.nd Street and proposed dividing the land
into a six-lot subdivision. The planning board suggested
he petition for annexation into the utility district to get
sewer service.
Noel Elfering. town chairman, said that be will call
special meeting of the district after Krahn's petition is
received by the board.
A lengthy discussion concerning the capacity of the
sewage treatment plant followed. Planning board
member Joseph Czubin said there were a number of
tmdeveloped lots in the district, and it would not be fair
to take in more land which might prevent property
owners currently in the district from hooking into the
system after capacity is reached.
Russell Horton, town supervisor, suggested a st(ldy
to determine how many buildable lots there are in the
utility district to give the board some idea o( potential
development and capacity of the plant.
Following Saturday's approval of the site for the new
town hall-fire station complex, the planning board
Monday night named a committee within the hoard to
consider the feasibility of constructing a substation to
provide fire and rescue squad services to the southern
part of the town.
Selected were Eugene Adamski, chairman; Bernard
Gunty, and Czubin, wbo will take into consideration the
popultion centers and availabllity of manpower in
considering a location for the substation_ Elfering
suggested the committee give a progress report by
September.
A request for a holding tank from Henry Frederick In
Woodworth was tabled by the planning board pending a
meeting w1th the panel to eJ~plain the entire proposal.
In the only other action, Czubin volunteered to
represent the planning hoard on the Kenosha County
unit of the Wisconsin Towns Association which wil\
work on zomng maps and ordinances. Elfering will
continue to represent the town hoard,
A brief discussion was held concerning the educational bookst<Jre at I-94 south of Highway C, and the
matter was referred to the town attorney for recommendation.

problem 'critical' in Bristol

By ARLF.NE JENSEN

BRISTOL- The concern for Bristol's
watHSUpply has reached a critical point,
E. L.Cnspell said wronesday night, and
he recommended tmmedtate action to
correct the problem.
_
Cn~pell, an engmeer from the f1rm of

that IS used _by the Chwago area on the

durmg the last 10 years, sa1d Cnspell.
Bnstol·s well is deep enough, terminatmg at a depth of 1,169 feet, and the
water IS down there, accordmg to
Cnspell, but the pump IS not deep enough
to accommodate a dechmng water bble.
"When a pump starts to suck air, it

causes cavitation and can Vlrhl~lly tear a

BRISTOL - A resolutiotJ. aimed at
correctmg the town water utility's well
problem was adopted Saturday morning in
tbe. wake of an emergency situation declared by the town board, which exempts
the competitive bidding requirement.
The town's water utility ran into problems last month when the ;,()..hp vertical
turbme pump began sucking air, forcing
the C'Utback from 320 to 150 gallons per
mmute
EL Crispell of Jensen and Johnson,
Elkhorn, town engineers, warned last
week that the pump should be lowered an
additional 60 feet in the 1,169-foot welL He
advised the installation of six 10-foot
cclumn~ at an estimated $5,000.
Bristol's water utility district serves
123 homes and industries in the unincorporated village.

BRISTOL- Concern over a proposed mobile home
park and its effect on the capacity of the sewage
treatm~nt plant was expressed Monday night by the
Bristol Town Board.
Noel Elfering, town chairman, said the board was
looking very closely at the proposed 100 plus-site
mob1le home park planned at the intersection of
Highway 45 and AH, in light of the sewer treatment
plant"s 200,000 gallon per day capacity.

He said the peak reached at llie plant in January
totaled 1'70,000 gallons per day and asked Jon Mason,
town attorney, to review a contract approved by the
board in 19'13 to determine specifically the obligations
of honoring that contract by the present town board.

TOWN TREASURER Doris Magwitz repeated her
concern to the town board over the legalities of
implementing a new simplified accounting system. Tne
town board had agreed last winter to switch over to the
McBee single entry pegboard accounting system after
viewing the procedure, currently in existence in the
village of Twin Lakes, on Dec. 30.
Mrs Magw1tz said she was not opposed to the new
system but was concerned with the legality since the
state statutes state that town clerks and treasarers l'lill
maintain separate books
She told the board that her concern was for the
protection of public money.
"I want to be assured that the statutury crosscheckmg procedures can be fulfilled under the new
system before it is actually implemented," she said.
She said that she had contacted Al Lamia, attorney
for the Wisconsin Towns Association, for ar. interpretation on whether the new system meets the st-ate
requirements.

Bane Nelson of Kenosha, general contractors, met
with the board last week to review updated costs which
increased from the original bid of $234,358 to an
estimated $266,817. Bane Nelson informed the board
that the bid from Magaw Electric Co. has decreased

$7,225 to $7,625.
The five bid increases will be formally presented to
the town board at tl.e regular meeting Saturday at 9:30
a.m. and, if accep'ed, will total $371,196.20, Miscellaneous costs will ~'Ut the total project at $378,482.34.
Since a total of $393,890.31 was authorized by Bristol
electors, that leaves U5,«17.97 in the budget if problems arise
Ironically, two items were deleted from the budget
because of the long delay. When it appeared that
construction would get under way during the winter
months, provisions were made for $3,315 for winter
protection and temporary heat. Since it now seems
certain the work will be done in warm weather, those
costs have been scratched.

Rev. Kanhai Puts Down Roots In Bristol
by NANCY POULER
The Rev. Cornelius
KanhaL a West Indian of
Easl Imhan heritage has
found happiness in serving
the dairy farming commumty of Bristol.
As pastor for the small
panshes of the Bristol
United Methoillst Church
and Wesley Chapel since
1913 the Trinidad born
Kanhai has found the affirmatiOn he needed in his
lile
THE WAY TO THE
pastorate in southern
WL~consin
was long and
required much dedication
and hard work by the son of
former Hindu holyman
PremchandKanhai.
"My father was converted
to Chnshanity while he was
worln'1g on a cocoa plantatiOn m l>OUth Tnnidad. His
foreman was a Christian
who impressed my father
Wlth tu~ actions," Kaohai
said
His ancestors were East
Indians brought over to
Trmidad as indentured servants to work in the sugar
and cocoa plantations after
slavery was abolished on the
islands and the blacks left
the fields, All were Hindus or
Moslems and to this day,
Kanhai said, Christians are
a minority among the Indians who comprise 35 per
cent of the population of
Trinidad, despite the fact
that most were educated in
Christian misSion schools
HJs'C_father, though, was a
"~er after truth" who obM'tved that the Chnstlans
''ltved" their religion. "He

was impressed by how
Christians comported themselves- how they related to
one another," Kanhai said.
"In the Hindu religion
women have almost no role
and he appreciated that in
the Christian church they
shared equally," Kanhai
said of his father.
CORNELIUS, one of eight
children, was educated by
Presbyterian
mission
schools through high school
He dates his decision to
become a minister back to
his early life.
"My father was teaching
an older boy and me to read
Hindi aroUlld a bare wooden
table under the house_ (Most
houses in Trinidad are built
up on high pillars).
"The Hindi primer was
lighted by a "llambeall" or
bottle torch. Suddenly my
father asked the other boy if
he ever thought about being
a minister. The question
~>eemed to he directed at me
and although I had not
thought of 1t before, it now
seemed the answer to my
whole life and I decided to
bl>eome a minister," Kanhai
remembered.
AFTER HIGH school he
applied for and received a
scholarship from the United
Church of Cana:da which includes the Presbyterian,
Methodist and Congregational faiths, for study in New
Brunswick, where he
received his bachelor of arts
degree_ His semmary
studies were m Nova Scotw.

collections of their favorite outdoor authors.
Usually we sooner or later end up

bird or other game animal and the manner of
having taken it.

As a method of by-passmg the processes of

Bristol tables action
on mobile home park
By ARLENE JENSEN ;; 1 "
Staff Writ«
BRISTOL- Planning board members Monday night
wrestled with a request for a new mobile home park in
Bristol and, in the end, decided they need more time to
study the issue.
"My main concern is how this will affect our
utilities," said Joseph Ctubin of the planning board.
"We can't make a decision without studying the impact
a trailer park will have on our community."
Czubin asked to have the request tabled until 7:30
p.m. Aprll 3, the next meeting of the planning board

Well repair won't
halt service
J , ,

BRISTOL - Residents
and industries relying on the
Bristol town well for their
water supply will get a oneweek notice in advance of an
anticipated shut-down of the
faCility, according to Noel
Elfering, town chairman.
The well is expected to be
out of service for 24 hours
for purposes of lowering the
pump, and users will be
drawing water from the
storage tank during that period. Work wi!l be completed by March 31.
At a special meeting Monday night of the Bristol water utility. Elfering annoucned that the contract
for modification of the well

has been awarded to the low
bidder, Mi!aeger Well and
Pump Co., Milwaukee, at a
total cost of $2,310.
Other bidders were·
Layne-Northwest, Milwaukee, $3,403, and Hoover Well
Service, Zion, Ill., $5,410.
Elfering said work on the
well will be scheduled during the middle of the week.
'Our original plan was to
do it on a weekend, but wedecided against it. If we find
we need parts, they would
be difficult to get on a weekcod

"We don't anticipate any
interruption in service."
said Elfering.

mcluded:

e Two requests for the purchase of land in the
Bristol industrial park.
e A plan by Steven Mills, real estate broker, for
construction of a multi-unit apartment house in the
village.
Mr. and Mrs. Phillip Ogden, Waukegan, who propose
to build a 1110-lot mobile home court at the intersection
of Highways 45 and AH, appeared with their attorney.
V. J Lucareli of the Kenosha firm ofLucareli, Neuman
and Ungemach.
The issue dates back to Nov. 27, 19'12, when an earlier
Bristol Town Board agreed to allow construction and
operation of the mobile home court. Lucareli produced
a preliminary agreement signed by Earl Hollister,
former town chairman, Dec. 20, 1972.
When questioned about the lapse of more than five
years, Lucareli said, "The Ogdens have worked hard
putting this package together. They have invested a lot
of money to get to this point."
He said he has records to prove continual planning
for the project.
"When you made your plans back in 1972, our sewer
plant was rurming about 30,000 gallons per day," said
Noel Elfering, town chairman, "but that is no longer
the case."
Information presented to the town board last week by
E. L. Crispell of the engineering firm of Jensen and
Johnson, Elkhorn, indicates that Bristol's sewage
treatment plant currently averages 112,000 gaHons per
day_ The system has an average design capacity of
210,000 gallons per day.
Crispell said when the sewer plant reaches liS percent
of capacity for three consecutive months, the Department of Natural Resources must be notified.
Lucareli said his clients are "prepared to enter into
a contract with the utility districts and pay the amount
required for connection fees." He estimated the
payment of $100,000 to the sewer district and $21,000 to
the Water district.
Lucareli urged action on the Ogden's request and
said, "Every day costs them more money."
"You've been working on it for more than five
years,., said Elfering. "All we're asking for is three or
four weeks. I think we have to get the feeling of the
community on this issue. lf the people don't like this
!dea, I guess you'll just have to test the validity of that
contract."
THE PLANNING BOARD voted to recommend sale
of two acres of land at $5,000 an acre in the Bristol
indusia! park tooodbridge Ornamental Iron, Chicago,
for construction of a new plant.
Marilyn Woodbridge, owner of the firm, and her
attorney, Tom McGinty, presented plans for moving
the company's operations to BristoL The firm manu·
factures spiral staircases using fine wire electronic
welding.
When asked by Elfering if the process adds pollutants to the air, the answer from McGinty was "No'"
Mrs. Woodbridge said the 20,000 square foot plant
will require a staff of 23 to 28 persons, depending on
seasonal needs. She said her company will continue to
operate the Chicago plant for a time but gradually all
operatlons Wlll move to Kenosha Countv

approved sbc years ago at Highways 45

Bristol Fire and Rescue
Squad and its auxiliary.
The auxiliary held a
potluck supper last week for
the more than 55 persons
who assisted in the drive.
Dorothy Niederer and her
committee were honored for
their efforts In signing up

The auxiliary will meet
next on April 5 at 7:30p.m.

calls
~ { '1 ":t

BRIS1DL- Rescue vehicles are to be used for emergency calls only, according
to a communication from
Eugene A. Krueger, chief of
the Bristol Fire Department.
Citing a vote taken at the
Bristol Township annual
meeting April 12, 1976,
Krueger said, "All non
emergency runs will be
eliminated. I have to go by
that directive and say that
equipment will not be used
foe non-emergency
transfers.''
Krueger said if calls continue to come in for nonemergency use, callers
should be informed of the
action of the 1976 annual
meeting and the reasons for
it, "such as an increase in
emergency calls and manpower availability."

j sit:ti~~de~i~~-~:g~c~
known upon receiving the
call that the person does not
have a need for immediate
medical services.
Krueger told the town
board at a meeting Saturday
that his men have responded
to a call for help arid been
greeted by a person who
said he needed tran~porta­
tion to the hospital for an Xray appointroenl

that a number of gallons processed at the

plant was due to surface water \nfHtr11tion
and said that wm be verified i!fter completion of the infiltration and inflow (I and
Il analysis
Elfering said the district Bppruved

a Stl>p 1 grant application last fall
I and I analysis and a facilities
~ cxisting plant.
the application is still in the
office uf lh<> Department of Natural Resources and has to get approval from the
Environmental Protection Agency. If approved. the analysis could still take up tu
12 months to facilitate.
Arthur Magwitz asked the board why it
continved lo allow development in the
industria! park if the treatment plant is
that close to capadty_ Elfering said the
developme;nl. permitted in the industrial
park is alr<"ady in the sewer district.
"They more lhan pay their way in the

town with taxes while adding no children
to the school district," he said.

Payton McLamb said the district was at
a point of not knowing how much undeveloped land exists in the district's
boundaries.
"It doesn't make any sense to add any
new land to the district until you know
how much development can <JCcur from
land already in the district."
The motion approved by th~ board
prevents the town from annexing 'llore
land into Sewer Utility I or JB for at k 'lSt
12 months from March 20.
Elfering said the action has ll'l bearing
on any property currently in the utility
districts.

BRISTOL - The Bristol Town Board
Monday night voted unanimously to put a
12-rnonth ban on annexations to the town
sewer utility districts pending completion
of studies on plant capacity.

E!Jering Si\id the plant was over capw:Jty on six of the ZO days with a peak nf
344,000 gallons 011 March 15. He concedf'd
that a numher of gallons processed at the
plant was dt;e l.o surface water infiltratinn
and said lliat will be verified after <:
pletion of the infiltration and inflow (l
I) analysis.
Elfering said the district approvPd

Immediate effeet of the ban will be to
hold up construction of a proposed lOO.plus
llllit senior citizens mobile home park

approved six years ago at Highways 45
and C as well as a sU-lot subdivision at
82nd Street and 203rd Avenue.
The problem of plant flowage was
brought W light by a petition from Richard Krahn and William Benson seeking to

BRISTOLvehicles are to be used for emergency calls only, according
to a communication from
Eugene A. Krueger, chief of
the Bristol Fire Department.
Citing a vote taken at the
Bristol ToWilllhip annual
meeting April 12, 197tl,
Krueger said, "All non
emergency runs will be
eliminated. I have to go by
that directive and say that
equipment will not be used
for non-emergency
transfers.''
Krueger said if calls continue to come in for nonemergency use, callers
should be informed of the
action of the 197tl annual
meeting and the reasons for
it, "such as an increase in
emergency calls and manpower availability."

Jsit~;\to~d e~i~~n-:::;g~~?s
known upon receiving the
call that the person does not
have a need for immediate
medical services.
Krueger told the town
board at a meeting Saturday
that his men have responded
to a call for help arid been
greeted by a person who
said he needed transpQrtation to the hospital for an Xray appQintment.

$

makmg a Step 1 grant application last fall
to fund the I and I analysis and a facilities
plan for the existing plant.
He said the application is still in the
office of the Department of Natural Resources and has to get approval from the
Environmental Protection Agency. If approved, the analysis could still take up to
lZ months to facilitate.
Arthur Magwitz asked the board why it
continued to allow development in the
industrial park if the treatment plant is
that close to capacity. Elfering said the
development permitted in the industrial
park is already in the sewer district.
"They more than pay their way in the

town with taxes while adding no child!

to the school district," he said.
Payton McLamb said the district was
a point of not knowing how much t
developed land exists In the distric
boundaries.
"It doesn't make any sense to add a
new land to the district until you kn
how much development can occur frc
land already In the district."
The motion approved by th~ boo
prevents the town from annexing 'TIC
land into Sewer Utility 1 or lB for at 1-.'
12 months from March 20.
Elfering said the action has no bear!
on any property currently in the utit
districts.

Debris slows work
on new Bristol town hall
1 ) ;') . 7 'i

By ARLENE JENSEN
Staff Writer
BRISTOL- "If anything can go wrong, it wilL"

That old saying seems increasingly appropriate
during the beginning stages of construction of Bristol's
new town hall-fire station complex.
Though the soil at the construction site had Jeen
labeled "unsuitable" some months ago, it wasn't until
excavatlon began late last week that the true condition
of the land became apparent
"&l far we have uncovered rubbish, wire, t!n cans
and an old concrete foundation," Noel Elferlng, town
chairman, said at Monday night's board meeting. "The
excavators may have to bring in a wrecking ball to
smash the concrete before they can haul it away."
Elfering said digging is further complicated by
several drainage tiles that have been struck and broken
by the excavation work.

But there's more, according to Elfering.
The tons of "unsuitable" materials are being loaded
onto trucks and hauled away, but "We've been told by
the Kenosha County Highway Department that the
loads are so heavy we're teAring up the blacktop. He
said permission to haul the debris has been revoked.
''We're going to try cutting down the size of the loads
and see if that helps,'" said Eifering. He said he·would
cor.sult with George Swier, highway commisslon£r,

Held said "Those guys that nave been complaining

Jon Mason, town attorney, reported on a proposal
made three weeks ago by Steven Mills, Kenosha real
estate broker. In an attempt to fulfill density requirements for a 24 unit apartment building, Mills sought to
purchase a parcel of town-owned land but said he would
give the town a perpetual easement on U!e property.
"I've consulted George Melcher, zoning admlnlst.rator,'' said Mason, ''and he said the plan is not within
the spirit of the zoning requirements."
Mason said he would recommend that the board not

Davidson told the planning board he
has encountered a problem in meeting
denslty requirements for hb: projed.
He said land currently earmarked for
the housing plan is "short about 1,700
square feet.
"I will apply for a variance," said
Davidson, "and if I'm turneJ down, I
will annex more of my own land into
the project to meet the den~ity''

"I don't think you realize how much

parcel that measures 170 by 210 feet.
The request will now go to the

Map uncovers landfill possibilities
/

By DIANA DEHAVEN
StaH Wrlw
Members of the County Board 10lld
waste committee Wednesday night

were presented witlt 25 potential landfill &ites, based on a Southeastern
Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission soil map.
"The map listing possible sites: 18
based on proper soil conditions for a
sanitary landfill," said 0. Fred
Nelson, water utility manager.
Nelson's office prepared the map.

"There are other areas In Kenosha
that could be used for landfill,
but Ute soU is not as suitable as these
25, and to develop alternative sites
would mean more expense."
He said extensive criteria will be
used in selecting the final site, but the
map of 25 po!Jl:!lbilities is a starting
Coun~y

point.
"We're going to have to look at
ge11eral criteria," said Wayne Koessl,
committee "chalnnan. "We'll need to
look at how much land we'll need,
trallllportation, availability of the
land, what affects a landfill site will
have on surrounding property ownen
and bosinesses."
Don Holland, director of public
works for the city, said Ideally the site
!lbould be located near the largest area
of population. "There is no sense in
moving the most volume of waate the

I

•

greater distance. But the closer you
get to Kenosha, the denser the population."
Holland would like to !lee a ~ite
located in as centra! an area @ possible, near Highway K between HH
and Highway 75 would be best. If
transfer stations are used !n
lion with a !andfUI site, other
the county could be cooaidered
After reviewing tile maps, the committee designated 11 sul>-comrnittee,
beaded by Holland, to illvestigate the
sites, using a list of general criteria,
to rate the most feasible sitea.
Following Is a list of the 2& possible
sites. They range in si:re from 100 to
3,654 acres. Even though highways
may run through oome of the sites.
Nelson said only a portioo of a site

Map uncovers landfill possibilities
By DIANA DEHAVEN
Stall Writer
Members of the County Board solid
waste committee Wednesday night
were presented with 25 potential landfill sites, baaed on a Southea8tem
Wisconsin Regional Plarmlng Commission soli map.
"The map listing possible sites 18
based on propet soli condltloll!l for a
sanitary landflll," said 0. Fred
Nelsoo, water uUJity manager.
Nelson's office prepared the map.
"There are other areas In Kenosha
County that could be used for landfill,
but the soil is not as suitable as these
25, and W develop alternative sites
would mean more expen~~e."
He said esteDIIive criteria will be
used in selecting the final site, but the
map of 25 possibilities Js a starting
point.
"We're going to have tu look at
general criteria," said Wayne Koenl,
committee chairman. "We'll need W
look at how much land we'll need,
transportation, availability of the
land, what affects a landfll! site wm
have on surrowtdlng property owners
and busmesses."
Oon Holland, director of public
'Works lor the city, said Ideally the site
should be located near the largest area
of population. "There is no sense In
moving the most volume of wute the

greater d!$\:ance. But the closer yoo
get to Kenos!u!., the denser the population."
Holland would like io see a site
located in as centra! an area as poll-sible, near Highway K between 1.-!f.!:
and Highway 7& would be best. If
transfer stations are used in conjunction with a landfill site, other areas tn
the county coo!d be considered.
After reviewirlg the maps, the committee designated a sub-<:ommittee,
headed by Holland, to investigate the
sites, using a hat of general criteria,
to rate the most feasible sites.

sites. They range in si:re from 100 io

commend tb!;' Kenosha News on the

ttHs service as something owed to us,
and Ia!! to appreciate the fact that
these men g1ve willingly of their free
time, and m some instances take off
work at their own exp!'nse to answer
calls.
Perhaps the News is already planning this, but I would like to see some
articles in regards to our various law

undermanned Kenosha Co Sheriffs'

Bristol Department county's first
By DIANA DeHAVEN

Staff Writer
The Bristol Fire Department,
Kenosha County's first volunteer fire
department, started In 1899 with hand
made, band pulled equipment and was
located In what is now Merkt's Cheese
factory.
The department will soon have a
new building to house its four pieces of
modern equipment and two rescue
squads.
The first station was located on
l99tb Avenue and 82nd Street in the
briCk building which now houses
Merkt's. At some unknown date it

moved to Merten's
in 1!141 moved from
to
pre&!nt town hall
In 1966 it purchased the
Garage across the street "'"" "'"
town hall and moved the ctepilrtment
again. The new fire 8tation-tnwn hali
complex will be bunt on \he present

The men in the village respond to the
station. We call them Company I.
Company II is made up of men In the
rural areas. If they are needed they
are informed of the location of the fire
and they respond directly to the fire.
"We have a response time of about
three minutes for rescue squad, a
little longer for fire, anywhere in the
township.''

Since its inception in 1899 and the
rescue squad's formation In 1969, the
department has acquired $250,000
worth of equipment.
The department is given support
from the women's auxiliary, which cosponsors the department's annual
blood drive. It also helps out in fund
raising activities as do retired department members, and provides food and
beverages during major fires.

Bristol development hinges
on waste tt~,atment system
By ARLENE JENSEN
SWf Writer
BRISTOL - Permission to use an

organic waste treatment system for
homes in a new subdivision on Hlgllway 00 is being sought by CoL William
White Realty, Salem.
White ~nd his associates p«!sented
·the plan to the Bristol planning board
Monday night and said they hope to

gain approval of the system from the
State of Wisconsin. The firm plans Z&
homes on a 2oo-acre parcel on Highway 50, two miles west of I-94.
An.thony Enderle told the planning
board the Clivus Multrum System was
pioneered in Scandinavian countries
and bas been approved in 42 states in
the United States.
"We've bef'-!1 in contact with the
state, and they say it has to go to local
authorities," said Enderle.

The system is self contained and
uses no water. Toilet and kitchen
wastes are retained in an impervious
container until microorganisms present in the waste turn it to humus. No
external supply of energy or
chemicals is needed to effect the
decomposition.
Clivus Multrum means literally "inclinmg compost room" according to
information presented by Enderle,
and it is just that: a compost heap
inside a container sitting at an angle.

member, described

Many members of the Bristol area were in attendance, as well as some from the Racine area.
The meeting was also attended by Grand Regent
Eugene Mulsoff and several other members of
the Grand Council of Illinois-Wisconsin and their
wives.
The Royal Arcanum is a fraternal insurance
organization that is over 100 years old. Plans are
being made for fraternal functions, including a
summer picnic, a Christmas party for junior
members and a bowling party for adult members.
The Royal Arcanum has been active in many
charitable projects, including a donation to the
Lighthouse for the Blind. A complete kitchen
facility was donated to Lambs Farm to be used to
train young mentally retarded adults to live
independently.
Supreme Councilman and Past Grand Regent

reactivating the Racine Council in the Bristol area.

Hwy. 50: Board Urges
Repair, Not jRelocation
.,IQ '1'6
(Kenosha)-- Hwy. 50 in Kenosha County will
probably be improved instead of relocated. That
action was recommended last week by the county
board.
The board supported a feasibility study into
the road's transformation into a four-lane
highway.
Supervisor Earl Hollister of Bristol, chairman
of the board's highway committee, said if Hwy.
50 was relocated, the present road would revert to
the county or townships, none of which could
afford its upkeep.

Centr''"dispatch system draws Bristol fire
By JAMES ROHDE
Staff Writer
BRISTOL - As e.xpedecl, the town
board's decision to convert to central
:ispatch for answering emergency
calls :esulted in protests and namecalling at ~onday night's town board
meeting.
Horace Fowler questioned the
board's decision which he 3aid was
contrary to the wishes of the people
who indicated at the annual town
meeting their opposition to central
dispatch in favor of retaining local
dispatch by volunteers.
''lf you don't have any more respeCt
for the people you represent, then you
are running a totalitarian form of
government," Fowler said.
Pointing to the state statute book on
the board table, Fowler said, "That
law book does not permit you to
rene&e on your constituents."

N~;~ei Elfering, town chairman, said
a central dispatch system would save
the town money, be more efficient,
and was in the best interest of the
township.
Ruth Radtke, one of the volunteers
in the fire department auxiliary which
currenUy provides 24-hour a day dispatch, chided Eifering to be more
specific in his statment of "in the best
interest of the community."
She said it implied the volunteers
were not doing their job properly and.
were making mistakes in dispatching
emergency vehicles.
"Why do you think the sheriff's
department can handle it better?" she
asked.
Former town chairman Earl
Ho!Uster told the board it completely
ignored the wishes of the people at the
annual meeting which, he said, was
the people's meeting.

"They had every right to introduce
a motion to retain local dispatch of
emergency vehicles, but you ignored
them saying the motion was out of
order."
Elfering reiterated his earlier re·
marks that it was in the best interest
of the township. This drew a number
of protests prompting the board to
declare the meeting out of order and
quickly approving a motion to ad·
joum.
The action to adjourn drew even
more protests including Mrs. Radtke
who remarked, "You're nothing but a
bunch of crooks: you're out of order.''
During the regular business meeting, the board held a public bearing on
the renewal of intolticating liquor and
malt beverage Ucense applications,
approving six combination Class B
licenses, a Class A license for Benson
Cornen Grocery and Liquor Store and

a Class B, beer only, for the Nightfall
Lounge.
Two license applications, a com.
bination Class B for the Howard Johnson Motel and a Class B beer only for
the Conservation Club have not yet
been received by the town clerk. They
expire on June 30.
In light of the time involved for
renewing license applications, the
board approved a motion directing the
clerk to publish any license applications she receives so Utat a public
hearing can be held at the June 26
board meeting, prior to the expiration
date.
Delays continued on Ute construction of the new town ball-lire station
complex which was scheduled to begin
on Monday. Elfering said the latest
delay was caused by the vandalism of
vehicles owned by the sub-contractor
Varvil Construction. No date was giv·

en for construction to resume.
Another old subject, The Renais-The board fonnally approVed a new 3ance Faire, was discussed since the
fire and rescue squad contract with attorney is finalizing an amusement
the Town of Paris providing emer- park license with an annual fee of
gency coverage at the same annual $5,000, short of the 10-cent head tax

BRISTOL ~ :A decision on whether

to permit Weston factory pre-built

They said they are state approved

The board tabled its decision until
the June 5 meeting to permit on-site

The subject of using the lights and

Discussed in light of an interpretation
recei1·~d from Cecil Rothrock, former
to,,.n attorney
Some members of the squad believe
they should use discretion in using the

contacted by Supervisor William
CuSC!nza.. suggested they be used on all
runs to protect the liability of the
town
The ;igrling of the new fire and
rescue squad contract with the Town
of Paris was postponed Saturday because of a shortage of manpower to

Martin said he was "amazed" at the low-key
attitude held by both towns in regard to
promotion of their industrial parks to potential
industrial customers. Neither Antioch nor Bristol
ha$ a promotional campaign to seek out new
industry, he alleged.
Industrialists at both parks are concerned
about ~es, but for a business with 10 to SO
employees, taxes may not be the overriding
concern it is thought to be" That opinion is
bolstered by Antioch businessman Walt Koziol,
founder and retired president of the Channglow
Company, the surveyor said.
Koziol started his business in Antioch during
the late 1950s, After several years, the business
grew to the extent that a new manufacturing
facility was needed. He talked with Antioch
officials, seeking assistance. With no encouragement, Koziol tum<;~d to Bristol just when that town
was opening the doors to its new industrial park.
Spumed by Antioch, but welcomed by Bristol,
Koziol moved his business five miles north into
Wisconsin, Martin said. He maintains his
decision to leave Antioch was not based on any
taJr; advantage offered by Bristol or Wisconsin,
but instead the move was triggered by the
impression that BriStol was interested in fostering

Antioch does little to encourage new iluiustry to

said. He still owns a trad of land ln Antioch
Township which he would like to dewlop for
industrial use. However, demands by the town
that heavy duty roads be built, and curbs and
gutters be constructed along with street lighting,
frustrate efforts by aggressive business entrepreneurs suf.:h ns Koziol to lay a foundation for
increasing the town's industrial base.
Martin summarizes his report by saying tWit
officials of both Antioch and Bristol profess to
want new industry, yet neither coonnunity has a
vigorous promotional program to seek out
potential users of their industrial parks. Martin
also observed that "smokestack industries"
shouldn't bother applying at either park. The
"desirable" type of industry sought for each park
was labeled' 'light industry'' --sanitary, no noise,
no liquid or airbome polluting businesses.
In Antioch, nearly 700 jobe are provided
through the industrial park complex. At Bristol,
the park means from 500 to 600 jobs.
While both towns benefit from tax revenues,
mostly from property taxes, the major return to
each coonnunity is in the ripple effect of the
company payrolls. In that respect, Antioch rates

FREEFALL: 'IT'S INCREDIBLE'

Of Freedom

I'm comfortable with the idea that reporters will do almost anything to get a story,
but the bi7..arre prospect of jumping out of an
airplane was enough to give me slight pause.
Hdidn't really bother me; there was only a
vague recognition of the fact that I was on

the brink of going to great lengths on this
particular story.
Saturday. A crisp, cool one with the
southern Wisconsin farmland, so lush and
velvety green, glistening under a brilliant
morning sun. The type Hollywood people
manage to capture when making

(

;;,

WINFIELD AIRPORT IS a commercial
jump center, located just east of Rt. 45 along
County Rd. V in Bristol, and by the time
everyone in our class had gathered, there
were 13 of us.
An omen, perhaps, for the superstitious.
There was never any need to worry, of
course, but that didn't prevent some from
carrying around somber faces much of the
day_ But I thought we were here to have fun~
Our instructor, Bud O'Connor, started
lhings off in a nice, easy way by saying, "If
you're wondering what my qualifications
are, I just learned how to do it last week and I
think it's great.''
HE WAS QUICK TO ADD that, in fact, he
has about 1300 jumps behind him. The first
order of business involved learning about the
different parts of a parachute and how they
work.
The orange and white nylon looked so thin
and unsupporting, and it was not a little
disconcerting to see gaping holes in the
materiaL The holes are there to provide
directional control, O'Connor explained.
If you say so, but I know some of us wished
we could have checked things out before

strapping it on our own back. That's part of
the thrill; it's a one.shotdeal.
The main canopy is encased in a special
sleeve that reduces the opening shock to a
gentle tug. Then there is the reserve, straP"
ped to the harness on your chest, and the only
trick is to remember to pull the ripeord if
that becomes necessary.
IN THE CASE OF a total malfunction,
when the main chute fails to open at all, it's a
very simple procedure. The people at Winfield, however, have added an extra
precaution to maintain their own peace of
mind.
Packed with every reserve is a small,
metal box that electronically senses when a
jumper is below 1000 feet. If you're still
falling without the benefit of a parachute, it
automatically triggers an explosive charge
that pulls the ripcord for you.
Should the main canopy open, but get
fouled or tangled, or otherwise be unfit for
landing, the procedure is to jettison the
whole works and open the reserve. Again, as
a fail-safe precaution, the reserve ripcord is
attached to the main chute so that when it
goes, tension causes the reserve to open.
WE WERE TAUGHT HOW to steer, how to
fall, and how to land in water, trees and even
hot wires. In the last instance, O'Connor explained, keep your feet together, your arms
close to your sides, and swing your legs back
and forth some.
All of which won't do any good if the wires
are carrying 10,000 volts of current, he admitted, but at least it keeps you· busy.
Thanks.
It amounted to a day of instruction. The
fact that we had to learn about all the things
that might go wrong, which fanned the
flames of fear in some, was ironic because
nothing bad happened.

Shooting preserve plans unveiled in Bristol
By ARLENE JENSEN
Staff \\ rlter
BRISTOL ~ Plans for a game preserve and trap shoot in the Town of

Bristol were announced Wednesday by
Ro~rl Rogers, vice president and
s~cretary

of Gn•athall of Illinois, Ltd.

Rogers is owner and operator of
Richard's faire at State Line

{lflg

'ioad (H~ghway WG) west of l-94. He
.old the Bristol Town Board the pre'erve will be lucaled northea~t of the
a!l'€ on ;:; portion of the 160-acre
~rt'el

John Thyne, Gurnee, HL an as-

date of Rcgers. described the game
·~erve as a "high class operatio:-~
'.tl a co:mntry club atmosphere."
Yf¥:. saul the piTserve v.;!l not be
en"ttt}he public but o?lY to mem-

~
'j 71
bers, "businessmen or others who can
afford it '
Plans for the preserve include renovation of an existing farm house for
use as a clubhouse. Pheasant and quail
will be kept in pens in the existing
barn and periodically released for
hunting by members. Birds will not be
raised on the property but purctlased
elsewhere.
Thyne said kennels will be built for
dogs, and club members will be aJc
lovoed to board their animals at the
facility
The game preserve is expected to
open in September, according to Rogers, but v.ill not he open during the
faire operation
The trap shoot, scheduled for a July
opening, will be east of the faire,

approximately 300 feet from the frontage road. 1t will be open to the public.
Noel Elfering, town chairman,
asked Thyne what type of guns would
be used on the property. Thyne said,
"Only shot guns - no rifles and no
pistols."
He said rifles will be banned because "you get a louder report and
more velocity from a rifle."
In addition, rules for the trap shoot
will allow "trap loads only," according to Thyne. He said the operation
will be governed by rules set up by tbe
American Trap Association
When questioned about the safety
factor, Tbyne replied, "There are no
accidents at trap ranges."
He said it would be under the strict
supervisioo of a range officer who

would remoYe offenders immediately.
No beer or liquor will be allowed on
the premises, said Thyne. Tbe trap
shoot will not be open during faire
hours.
Rogers said, "It seems like a natural way to use the property. There's
already wildlife there, and we won't
have to construct any building."
Since the faire is a summer opera·
tion, he said, it is necessary for him to
''get some cash flow, some dollars
going through during the winter
months. Someday the faire will be
really big, but right now we need
another source of revenue," he said.
fi:lfering told Rogers and Thyne
their apphcations for the game pre·
serve and trap shoot will be considered by the towr! but not until a

We NEWS
in ourc)l1rea
public hearing is completed
"I don't know how much opposition
we will get from the public, but a
hearing will g1ve us a pretty good
idea," said Elfering.
Rogers also responded to a complaint by the board about "ir:adequate
sanitary farilities" at the 1977 faire

Republican ~tate Representative
Russell A. Olson, Bassett, armounced
' today that he Will not seek re-election
to an eighth term in the st.ate legisla·
ture as represenrntive of the 66th
'District.
Olson, the only Republican rej}resenffitive in Kenosha County, has held
his Assembly seat lor 14 years_ He is
the 1enior member of the Kenosha
delegallon in MadJson.
His announcement opens the door
lor a spirited battle for the 66th
District seat.
Two Democrats, County Clerk Mary
K. Wagner and Timothy Daley, Union
Grove, ami one Republican, David
Roettgen, Union Grove, have announced they are seeking Olson's seat.
Olson saJd another Republican candidate Will come forth in the near
future
"Not many people understand the
partisan politics," Olson said. "It is
essentml that Kenosha County have
Republican· representation. I would
not have stepped down unless I was
assured that a strong candidate would
oome forth ·•
Olson saJd that he was ''tirmg of the
job" and it was time to e:itber "move

up or get out."
The 54-year-old Republican lost his

Olson linished third out of six candidates in the ballotmg_ The party's
endorsement went ttl Representative

· "I look forward to sitting this election out," Olson said. "The increasing

demands of lhe job meant more time
iil Madison, making i\ an impossibility
to lead a nol'mal family hfe."
Olson, whose district represents the
rural western end of Kenosha County
and sections of Racine and Walworth,
said the battle of parUsan politics
weakened his desire to run m 1978.
"It's been frustrating at times. es·
pecia!ly with the Democral~ having
,such complete control," Olson said,
"You feel you're right, you know
you're right on an issue, and then you
get shot down time and time again.
And I'm not just talking about the
nunor issues but the major ones."
Olson said he has no immediate
plans for the future Before being
elected to the Assembly in 1000, he '

[Bristol] - Great Endings beauty salon opened beauty shop for both men and women. It Is located \r;
here June 1. Ownen: are Lynn Slupplck [standing, the old Bristol Foods store ~U:n>s~ the ntreet from <h.left] and Cathy Genovese. Their shop Is afull·set'Viee post office.

'Great Endings' Is
Only the Beginning
(Bristol) --"People are amazed at the two of
'OS opening a business," laughs Cathy Genovese
wlw, along with Lynn Sluppick, is a partner in the
new Great Endings beauty salon here.
The two women, ages 20 and 27, are a little
surprised themselves.
"We got into this by a fluke," continued
Cathy. ' 'A friend told us about this building being
for rent. We cheeked into it, and everything fell
into place.''
Before that, the women had no plans to go into
business for themselves. They were both working
at a Salem salon. Lynn, a graduate of Lake
Geneva Academy of Beauty Culture, '!lad worked
tllere for five years. Cathy, who attended
Gateway Technical Institute in Racine, had
worked at the salon for two years.
Neither regrets their decision.
"Our reception here baa been fantastic," the
women said. "We've been too busy to sit down
since the day we opened,'' Cathy added.
For awhile it looked as if the women wouldn't
-meet their deadline of a June l opening. After
working five weeks on the remodeling of the
building, located across the street from the post
office in the old Bristol Foods store, the women
st.ill hadn't received the new furniture and equipment they ordered.
On May 31, the night before the opening, they
drove a pickup truck to Rockford, Ill., and transported 17 cartons back to Bristol. They worked
late into the night setting up the salon, then had it
inspected the morning of June I before the actual
opening.
"The inspector said she'd never seen a new

shop as organized as ourE," the women laughed
The former Bristol Foods building is 115 year·'
old. Remodeling: was done by Cc<.thy, Lynn, Bill
Sluppick, who is Lynn's husband, and buildinv
owner Larry Kelley

By JIM ROHDE
Staff Writer
BRISTOL-The Bristol Town Board
indicated Monday night that it might
relax ItS earlier ruling in order to
permit a handful! of property owners
whose.> land IS outstde the sewer district boundaries to connect to the
, sewer system.
If approved, the action would have
to come dunng a utility district meetmg which the board scheduled at 7
p.m. Thurl:lday m the town hall.
On Man:h 20 of thts year the board
voted unarumous!y to Impose a 12
month moratorium on annexations to
the sewer distnct until a study is
completed regarding the sewer plant's
capacity
Noel Elfermg, town chairman, told
the townspeople Monday night that the

Had the Bristol Town Board shown
th<1 Fire and ftescue Department personnel the courtesY of common dec<en'
cy and ""'( down ·with th('m ~nd di5·
cussed the feasibilitY of changing Uw
department communications from its
present setup to the Sheriff's Department, they would have known that the
total e()sl would not be $3,000 to $4,000,
hut rather m excess of $7,000.
!.oms Fowler, be.~ng in contact with
several department members, was
aware of this and so, at the annual
town meeting, introduced a motion not
to proc&d w\th this move_ This m\1"
twn carried by better than two to one.
However shortly after the annual
meehng, the Town Board, obsessed
with the feeling of absolute authority,
decided it knew better and put themselves on record to make the change.
As a result the taxpayers of Bristol
will be paying in excess of $7,000.
Having become acquainted with the
members of the Fire and Rescue
Squad, I soon became aware that these
p€Ople oossessed. the special quality of
compassion tul their felisw man at the
ttme of tragedy. It isn't just the men,
but the auxiliary as well. They conduct
the blood donors' drive. The re5ult is

the system, forcmg tile plant over
capacity.
"We d!dn't intend on stopping
growth completely, but we wanted to
control it," he remarked.
The board's decision to alter its
earher ruling was the result of requests from Eugene Morris and Stephen Cook, who applied for sewer
connectiOns for their new homes.
Their property as well as a parcel
owne<l by Richard Krahn and William
Benson, planned as a six lot su~
division, are located outside tlle current district boundaries but serviceable by the ~ewer.
Jon Mason, town attorney, suggested to the board that if the district
agrees to permit the connections, it
should be by contractual agreements
renewable over a period of time,
rallier than obligating the district in·
definitely.
Elfering said the plant was over
that any resident of the Town of
Bristol in need will receive blood free
of charge. The department has a meri·
torious reCO!'d fo1 its efficrent performance

but added that part of th.e reason was
the unusual heavy rainfalls. "Our intent is to serve the property within the
immediate area while not overloading
the plant."
The heavy rains also prompted Rob
Rogers, promoter of the Renaissance

Faire to request an extention of his
amusement park license for Greathall
of Illinois, LW for an additional weekend vn August 12 and 13

The board granted the additional
weekend with the same restnctions in
the original license but at no additional cost.
E!fering mJormed the public that he
bad received a letter from Captain
Roger Schoenfeld of the Kenosha
County Sheriff's Department regardmg the changeover to central dispatch
of

emergenry vehicles.

In the ietter dated June 27, Schoenfeld mlonned the board that the en-

coder was on order and that the
system could he oper;'ltional within
four or five weeks.
Regarding criticism t.llat the central
dispatch could cost the town between
$3,000 and $4,000 for addttional equipment, Elfering esUmated the total
cost at $350.40 since existing radio
equipment would be repaired and adjusted to handle central dispatch at no
extra cost.
The board discussed an all-out fight
against a weed referred to as the
Russian Bull Thistle. Although the
plant is not included under the town's
noxious· weed ordinance, the board felt
it could be added so that property
owners would be require<! to destroy

BRISTOL - "l don't think a guy
should be hung for making a mistake,"
Roy Watring told the Bristol planning
board Thursday night. Watring appeared hefore the board to plead his
case for a setback variance he needs
for completion of a building in
Bristol's Industrial Park.
Watring is the general contractor
for a $1 million building that has been
declared in violation of a 30 foot road
setback from the property line. The
hu1lding, which is still in the early
stages of construction, is being built
for Charm·glo Products, a subsidiary
of Beatrice Foods.
According to Watring. concrete
forms have been poured, and the
rnewl building has been delivered to
the site. "I've been told that we are
only 22 fee€ from the lot line, instead
of 3D, as required," he said.

The architect for the project is
Thomas Christiansen Associates,
Zion, lll. "He said he didn't realize
what kind of setbacks you have here,"
said Watring. "The original plot plan
shows a 20-foot setback, and it was so

Lake George_ depth decreasing
By ARLENE JENSEN

SlaH Wriler
BRISTOL- Small shells that have
been collecting on the bottom of
GoorgeLakeforaboutlO,OOOyearsare
slowly decreasing the depth of the
lake.
Jobn Thresher, Envlromental Research Associates, Madison, described
the condition as "very peculiar, the
oolyonewebaveeverseen."Thresher
said Friday that a sediment composed
of snail shells aDd decayed organic
matter is 15 to 20 feet deep in parts of
the lake.
·
He said without sediment, George
Lake would be about 30 feet at Its
deepest point, but eight to 10,000 yeal'll
of accumulation has decreased the
water's depth to 10 to 15 feet.
'Ibresber's firm recenUy completed
a study of the 59 acre Bristol township
lake and results were presented at the
annual meeting of the George Lake
Inland Lake Protection and Rehabilitation District.
About 50 members of the district.
attended the meeting and:
-'voted to have a $2,000 assessment
levied against the district to pay for
apraying George Lake In the spring of
19'19.
-approved by-laws for the district.
-approved an operating budget for

W18-19.
- leamed that federal and state
funds are available for lake rehabllltatlon projects.
- Elected Beverly Slnger and Roy
Gasiorskl officers of the district. Other officers are Paul Bloyer, chairman,
and Charles Bizet.
- Set July 20, 1979, for the next

annual meeting.
/ l ) "- '(
The essence of Thresher's 7G-page

ERA report was simple: "Too much
sediment and too many weeds in
George Lake."
A weed called mUlfoil, eas!l.y ideutifled by its reddish color, is the worst
_culprit, acCQrding to Thresher. It not
only sprouts easily and spreads rapid·
ly, it is almost impossible to delltroy.
Millfoll's root system spreads with
rwmers, like strawberry plants.
Weed!! are found near the shoreline
and not in deep water, said Thresher,
since the lack of light penetration
prevents them from growing ln
greater depths.
Weed!! need nutrients to grow and
"We've looked at your watershed to
try to determine a source for nutrien-ts
that are getting into the lake," arud
Thresher. "It appeat'l:l that most are
coming in on the western side."
He said, "George Lake is not getting large amounts of nutrients. but
what ts coming in is in concentrated
form and that is important in a small
body of warer."
'Ibresher said the water level is low.
preventing flushing of the lake.
''The water did not flow over the
outlet during the entire course of our
study."
Thresher made several recommendations for dena-up of the !ake tmt
said, "These deeisions must he made
by members of the district. I can oniy
ten you what the problems are."
He said dredging offers the best and
longest lasting solution, but is also the
most expensive. ''If you dredge near
the shore, you will eliminate weed<>
and sediment, as well as provlde a
larger volume of water.''
Thresher reported that other lake
districts have successfully used suetion type dredging, sucking sediment
and weeds from lake bottoms to be
deposited elsewhere.
Another type of dredging on a
smaller scale could also- he considered, he said. A small, winchoperated dredging machine could be
purchased "for several hundred
dollan and put into action with a lot of

co-operation from residents of the
district."
Another report on Ge;Jrge Lake,

certain it is "technically correct"
Thresher said "DNR will probably
have management alternatives ready

COJ?.plied with the help of a computer
at the offices of the Sol!theastern
Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission, was presentro Friday by
Tcm Sweet of SEWRPC
The preliminary report states. ''The
existmg major phosphorus loadings to
the lake are estimated to originate
!rom livestock operations, rural land
runoff, including agricr1iture and runoff from construction activities." The
report indicates that those sources
contribute about 2,203 pounds of phosphorus to the lake annually.
According to the SEWRPC report,
"Long term maintenance of water
qualit.Y in George Lake requires that
nutrient input be re<h:ee<J_ •·
"If you don't treat the source, you
will continue to ha""" proble1ns, '' said
Sweet.
Ric!'1ard Bremner. a George Lake
re~ident, said some members of the
district have participated in a weed
spraying program for several years.
"We collect as mucl1
as we can
from residents an(! then
hire a
company from gurnef', IlL. ta do the
spraying for us."
Bremner said the spraying is effec.
Eve, but must be done every year,
prefe:rrably early in the growing seasort
He made a motion to have $2,000 for
weed spraying added to the tall: roll for
the district, with the amount to be
divided among an property owners.
The motion passed with a provision
that spraying be bid i!nd contracted on
a temporary basis by d1strict commissioners.
The additional $'lJlOO l.ncreased the
proposed operating to $H,571l in revenues and $10,915 in expenditures, It w11s
passed by the membership.
Decisions on a dearHJ.p operation
for George Lake or the possible appHcations for grant money will be left
for a future meeting_ Copies of
Thresher's report ate now in the hands
of the Department of Natural Resources, where it will be studied to be

in about three or four months. They
wUl be in touch with your commissioners with recommendations for
the district."
There is a strong possib!Uty of grant
money to pick up 80 or 90 percent of
the tab, acCQrding to Sweet.

Bristol variance needed

Beatrice buildin stalled
BRISTOL- Construction has been
halted on a new structure in Bristol's
industrial park pending the outcome of
a variance request.
Roy Watring, general contractor for
a $1 million building being constructed
for Beatrice Foods, informed the
Bristol Town Board Saturday t!tat
work will not resume until the
Kenosha County Board of Adjustments makes a ruling on Watring's
request for a setback variance.
Town officials have charged that
the building, still in the beginning
stages of construction, violates a 30foot setback regulation and is situated
only 22 feet from the property line.
Watring is seeking a variance for
completion of the building. His request was tabled last week by the

an interview here recently. The Normans are on
vacation until Aug. 1, visiting Susan's father, C.
W GleJ.Son.
Although it's necessary, the Normans'
Panamanian residence has been easy to accept.
Excellent schools, tropical weather, good pay
and fringe benefits, maintenance-free company
homes and low rent are part of the reason.
··one of the best advantages to living here is
the opportunity for saving money," said Susan.
"We pay federal taxe~. but no state, sales or
~chool tax. Onr house expenses are ahout $150 a
month, so we save a lol. ''
In addition, the Normans have been able to
accumulate many valuable imported possessions
at substantial savings because of the zone's duty
fnoe statu~.
"We boug-ht a solid brass bed from China for
a real good price and some hand-carved teak from

The family often camps on weekends and

the jungle, his mother says.
Gamboa and nearby Panama City have many
of the advantages of home. Susan says shopping
in Panama City is just like at home. There is a
Sears store, but no K-Mart. McDonald's does it
all for you in Panama, too; so does Kentucky
Fried Chicken.
Living in Panama isn't like living "at home."
the Normans admit, but it isn't like living at the
end of the world either, even though there are
some disadvantages.
By its nature as a strategic location, the
10-milewide Panama Canal Zone has long been a
military type base.
"There are times," said Susan, "when I feel
like I'm living in a terrarium because everything
is so controlled here.
"We live where the company says we should.
We shop for groceries and gas where they say."
In Gamboa there is a small commissary like a
neighborhood grocery store and only three gas
stations, all quite well hidden. "You have to know
where they are,'' says Mike.
''It takes a long time to get repair parts if
anything breaks ln your home," she said. "You
can't fix it yourself because all the mamtenance is
taken care of by the company. We don't even cut

RUSSELL OLSON

Area Farmer Seeking Votes For
Wisconsin's Lt. (;(J12ernorship
by NANCY POULER

After fighting the conservative battle in the
Wiscoru;in legislature since
1960, Russell Olson, formerly
of Gages Lake, has decided
to carry the message right
into the governor's office
with his bid for the
Republican nomination for
lieutenant governor.
"After 18 years, 1 feel I
have done my tour of duty. It
has been very frustrating,
but sometimes rewarding"
the fanner-legislator explained. "By continually
hammering away, we few
conservatives (25 out of 99
members in the lower house)
have got both parties con-

vinced that taxes are loo
high and government too
big."
"Both parties are giving
lip service to these issues in
this year's campaign," he
added.
Olson was encouraged by
his fellow conservatives in
the legislature to run for the
office of lieutenant governor
even though he was not endorsed by the party committee, because of his
knowledge of the rural
area~. farming and also for
his proximity to the lllinois
state line which gives him
the unique position of bemg
able to "point out problems
in attracting people willing
to invest in productive
growth of this state."
The lieutenant governor's
duty is basically to preside
over the Senate, but, Olson
would like to make it a place
where rural and agdcultural
interests could have access
to the state government, by
working directly with the
governor's office.
"The lieutenant gover·
nor's office could be the
place to filter out
agricultural, small business
and rural problems" he said.
"I feel that the mood of
people is ready for a change
-it is an opportunity for me
to have a greater con"
tribut!on towards the direction the state would take."
Olson stated in regards to
the alleged liberal image the
Wisconsin voter has
He doesn't think the people
are liberal. Instead, he feels,
"Most people are con·
servative, but don't follow
voting records of those they
elect."
"Tt seems," he continued,
"Most people think if you are
working hard, you are
representing them They
don't seem to care how you
vote."
His campaign will be a
person to person effort with
appearances at fairs, shooping ceuters, radio stati~n
guest spots and other public
events throughout the state
Olson will be getting most
of his help from his conservative backers in the
legislature m their various
districts. Fund raiseTs
around the state will also
help his campaign.
Since he is not formally
backed by the party he can--~~------

withoul an enis not an unusual
tactic for Wi~consin candidates_" he said, "because

organized ethan
nmghhoring states)
have much less influence on
the direction of government."
"I really wouldn't be in Uw
race if I didn't feel I bad a
good chance to win," Olson
observed and summed up his
n.asoM Oy adding, "Th<:
issues are 11,!1 on our side
The problem is pointing out
to voters that the·
Repubhcans stand for t!w
very things they want out of
government."
Olson has first hand

After his stint in the
M:ilrines, the veteran of the
South Pacific and his
brothers were farming GOO
acres and milking a hundred
cows on their successful
Lake County farm when
Olson married the pretty
Frances White, daughter of
Hazel and the late Warren
White of Grayslake.
In 1955 the three Olson
brothers and their families
moved further north into Antioch and Kenosha County
and operated Olson lm~
plements while continuing to
farm on the Wisconsin
location in Bassett.
After a few years, Olson
left the business and became
a full1ime farmer again.

AT HOME ~ Former,
his wife Frances hove recently moved into new home
on form in Bossett. Olson worked on construction of
house for pa~t two years. including the brick work at
entrance.- Photo by Nancy Pou!er.
'

"I got involved in the
Kenosha County Jo'arm
Bureau," he said, telling of
his beginnings as a legislator
"They have a strong
legislative program and that
is basically how I became interested in Wisconsin government," he said.
Perhaps an inherited tendancy came from his maternal grandfather who was
Chicago Judge John Swanson. who had a home in
Gages Lake and therefore
was an influence in Olson's
formative years
In 1966 Olson sold hi~ dairy
farm and turned to rmsmg
cattle, which he does now.
"Up until two years ago I
operated the farm with only
part-time help~ now I have

a full-time man," the Jean,
tanned man said and added
with a sigh, "I don't really
knowhowldidit."
It was indeed a feat to run
a ful! scale successful farm
while spending at least two
days a week in Madison all
year round, and whole weeks
when the legislature was in
session.
To keep himself even more
busy, the Olson's have just
moved into a lovely new
home upon which he did a
majority of the work during
the past two years.
Their fam\ly mcludes four
daughters, Rnsten Wh1te,
Park Forest; RobinKinkopf,
Cassapolis, Ohio; Tamien
Zeller, Indianapolis, Ind.;
and Megan, Schaumburg.

moveable walls has skyrocketed, so
we have agreed to the change."
In other items on tile agenda, the
board was informed the final plat for

n a second well for Bristol was
resented to members of l'tility Dis·ict 1 Monday
The report prepared by the engieering firm of Jensen and Johnson,
:Ikhorn, Wis., answers the easy quesons. Th€ tough questions are harder
l answer. They include:
-can the district afford a project
mt will cost somewhere between
!16,300 and $250,000?
-Will additional land have to be
urchased, thus adding to the cost?
-Will the drilling of the proposed
·ell affect the wells of property
wners in the immediate area?
The utility presently serves 157 cusJmers including commercial, inustrial and residential hook-ups, but
nly a handful of citizens attended
londay's m~ting.
Noel Elfering, town chairman, said,
I don't want to plUnge the district
lto debt witholit a better representaon. I'd like to know how the rest of
1e members of the utility feel about
tiS project before we proceed."

"! would also recommend getting

To the Editl)r: I c - .1 S' -75'
On August 29, 1978 the Bristol town
board mailed out to the taxpayers of
Bristol a special report to keep us
iliformed of the problems which have
confronted them.
Paragraph two in part reads as
follows: "It was the opinion of the
board, when we took office, that our
fire department had digressed !rom
its mission and over a period of time
had become a political entity. It was
apparent that in order to retain a
1 viable, well-<Jrganized fire fightmg
unit, some reahgnments were necessary and there was a need to establish
gmdelines. These changes were im·
p!emeoted in early fall and our fire
department !S again dedicated to its
primary ffi!SSJO\i.
When a town board will use several
hundred dollars of the taxpayers' money to defame and smear the honorable
reputation of our fire and rescue personnel, who are also taxpayers, the ·
ethics of town officials leaves something to be de~ired.
These dedicated people take toining at their own expense, to say
nothing of the time they spend. To
imply they had digressed from their
mission, to me, is uncalled for.
I challenge our town board to name
just one other governing body in all of
Kenosha County that has ever stooped
to such a "low blow."
To the people of Bristol township:
how can we expect tile morale of our
fire deprtment to be at its best when
the town board displays a "holier than
thou" attitude such as this toward
Chesler A. Boytn&ton
them.

By BARBARA COLICK~
Area Editor
BRISTOL - Thousands of lost
; and unwanted animals owe their
lives to a new Bristol re•ident and
, the organization he founded, the
' Society o[ St. Francis.
At least three humane organiza
lions in Chicago have felt the brunt
of his ire as he !ought for cleaner
quarters, better medtca\ care and
more humane treatment lor dogs
and cats in pounds and sh~lters
Robert (Bobl Frank e«timat.es
he has also returned some 5,000 lost
pets to the1r owners all .;_cross the
country,
If he has his way, many more

''l believe an1mals have \he complete right to liVe their lull hv~s

many as I can," said Frank.
His new headquarters will be at
12300 !16th St. in Bristol where he
and h1s wife, Patricia, are renovating the house and kennels. In addition to accommodating his own 21
dogs, animals he has rescued and
rehatnlitated. tlle kennel will serve
as a boarding facility
He relates a tragic story behind
each of his animals as he walks
down th.e line of kennel runs.
There was Lucky~ h.e had been
hung; two research dogs from a
laboratory; a full-grown, 3~pound
greyhound kicked out of a car (it
took a year to nurse him back to
l:;~alth and h!s present 80 pounds);
seven dogs rescued, near death,
from afl Illinois anima! clinic (a
1awc.u1t is pendmg); a burn victim;
~ ghetto dog left out to freeze
durmg the b!tter wmter of 1976-77,
and others
His latest adoption is a female

-

abandoned with her puppies in
Kenosha County and picked up by
the Kenosha Humane Society. She
was emaciated, sick., and her time
was up at the shelter, said Frank,
but alter two weeks of good food
and medical care, she is regaining
her health. She has turned out to be
a well-trained, obedient animal
who responds immediately to commands, said Frank, "and I just
don't know why anyone would want
to get rid of her."
THE BIGGEST ANIMAL PROBLEM is the unidentified stray, he
said.
"Every stray in the pound
belonged to somebody sometime,"
said Frank.
"lam offering t.o give away tOO
free identification tags to the fil"!lt
100 people that request them," said
Frank.
The tags will contain tb.e name,
address and telephone number of,
the owner and name of the dog.
In about two months, a different
type of tag will be oHered wh.ich
wtll bear the name, telephone
number and SOS registration

The society will offer a free pet
tatt.oo registration service but will
rwt perform the tattooing itself.
Tattoos can be done by veterrnarL<ns and othets
Frank said lhere is a tremendous
need lor research dogs, and whoie
areas have been wip~d out by
thwves who sold the animals to
labora\Ories, There are more than
5,000 federaBy licensed dog
dealers, he said
"l WOULD LIKE TO SEE TATTOOS become mandatory," said
Frank "Ninety-live to 99 percent
of the dogs in pounds ar~ unidentified. How would you like to have
75 percent of tllem identified? A lot
of people go crazy looking for their
dog.
"The mistake a lot of people
make is taking the collar off the
dog when it comes in the house. The
dog slips out later and is gone."
Frank said numbered rabies tags
used locally are useless because no
one keeps a record of tb.e numbers.
"If Kenosha County or the State
of Wisconsin came up with a registration program on rabies, charged
for it and enforced it (keeping the
tags on the dogs}, they would solve
half the dog problem.
"My dogs and cats all have ID
and rabies tags," said Frank.
"'They have had all their in-

said Frank. Every TV commercial

"'

"We went after IHinois Bell for
showing ammals without tags on
their commercials," said Frank.
"They came out afterwards and
announc~d from then on they would
all have tags."
All dogs in Illinois must have
rabies tags on them or the owner is
subject to a fme, he said.
Too often, the owner fails to
attach the tag issued by the veterinarians. One Christmas, said
Frank, we sent a pair of pliers to
all the Chicago area veterinarians
and asked them to put the tags on
the collars. Many did.
The Franks, their 20 dogs and
four cats moved to Bristol last
month from Mt. Prospect, Ill.

In their 11 years in Mt. Prospect,
they had only one complaint ol ~
barking dog, he said. although all
th~ir neighbors knew about the
anim~ls

"The city ,-erbatly g,ave me 30
days to move. and then they backed
off,"' sa1d Frank
F'rank, a lorrn<:'r federal .'iUJ)itor
and cred!t man. decided to move
Ml)'Way because the animals could
te in jeopardy and was de~ighted lo
lmd the BrisW! kenne!
He leaves behind him H years of
humane work in the Chicago area
to improve animal welfare.
ln Chicago, said Frank, the AntiCruelty Society used to use a decompression chamber to dispose of
the animals. We went after them
for about four years and listed a\!
the improvements we thought they
should make such as a spay and
neuter clinic, free ID tags, lost and
found service and others.
"We fought them until their
whole board resigned and the whole
place changed. They got rid of the
decompression chamlrer, built a
new shelter and adopted aU our
suggestions.
"Now it is one of the most
modern clinics in the country, and
they are saying thanks," said
Frank.
Organi~ed in August of 1975, the
society h.as done "'Way with memberships and ae<:ep'-: donations of

any amount, large or small. Fun®are 1.1sed towards establishing the
pet identification program and improving animal laws.
THERE IS A LOT OF WORK to
be done here in Kenosha, he said.
The amma! shelter needs cleaning
up, and better, larger lac\htles are
r.eeded
"Maybe tne pubilc Will Slipport
an effort ro get tl'ns work done," he
said
frank's kennel wJ!l not become
an open shelter but some animals
may be brought to him from veter·
inary hospitals for recuperation
and rehabilitation.
"We won'l take strays because
we won't kill a dog," he said.
Frank serves as president of the
non-profit society with Mrs. Frank
as secretary-treasurer, and Jndy
Krupiel, Bensenville, lU., as vice
president. The corporation is registered in Illinois and will soon be
registered in Wisconsin.
Frank said be has not drawn a
salary !or the past three years.
Tbis meant taking a ~:~econd mortgage on their home, mortgaging
their car and borrowing on his life
insurance. The work has cost him
about $30,000 and their savings
went down the drain, he said. The

Thursday. in the opening day of the

l!ving m the neighborhood of the egg
iarm, testified about the terrible
0tiors. espec1ally dunng the summer.
The defense presented its case as
the tnai moved into its concluding day
thm mornmg.
The key witness was Aralis who
testified that he had studied other
methods o! disposing of the manure
twm the 140,000 chickens on his farm.
He saJd he explored ll!e possibilities of
drying and digester systems of mant<.re disposal, but found them "t.oo
expensive for the results." From 1969
tr- this year, Aralis said, the method of
manure disposal was to spread the
w~ste on 105 acres of adjoining farm
t;wi, which he owns, and disc and
olow it undec

posal to build a drying building, at a
cost up to $61,000, to treat the manure.
He contended an air drying technique
would be non-odorous. The resulting
dry waste could be marketed as
fertilizer, he said. In addition, Aralls
indicated he planned to buy additional
ozone generatlng units to combat the
smell.
Judge Fisher will make the decision
as to whether the Quality Egg Farm
will be shut down or whether Aralis
will have the opportunity tn carry out
the odor abatement plans he contended in court would eliminate the
problem.
Fisher said the opposing attorneys,
Asst. Atty. Gen. Patrick Walsh and

be a larger-than-expected $723.5 mil·
lion surplus greeting Governor-Elect
Lee Dreyfus and the new Legislature,
according to Department of Administration prvJeCti(ms today.
The figure assumes ~t.lte employees
will get a 7 percent general pay
int-rease in each year of the coming
biennium, according to DOA Secretary John Torphy The projected pay
increases would cost an additional
$1Z7.4 million in state tax revenues.
Assuming $49 mJlhon, or l percent
of the state budget, is set aside for
"contmgency" matters, Dreyfus and
the new Leg1slature would have $674.5
million for tax cuts
Meanwhile, ~tate agencieS have re·
quested 21.2 pacent more - another
$1.2 bilhon - to operate during the

Torphy said if the governor and

Fire department cuts protested

Bristol adopts $254,232 budget
By JAMES ROHDE
Staff Writer
BRISTOL~ A 1979 town budget was
narrowly approved Monday night despite opposition to a fire department
allocation of only $25,000, $10,000 short
of that requested.
Budgets for the town's water and
sewer utilities were also approved
following public hearings which lasted
until 9:20p.m
The new town budget, adopted on a
vote of 25 to 18, totals $254,232 and
inchfdes a cut in the town tax rate of
approximately 35 cents per $1,000 of
assessed valuation from the 1976 rate
of 62 cents per $1,000 to the new rate of
approximately 27 cents per $1,000.
The new rate will generate $25.000
io town taxes.
The total 1979 town budget is down
over $32,000 from the current budget,
which Noel Elfering, town chairman.
s.aid was tlle result of "belt tightening" by the Town Board.
Horace Fowler and Chester BoyingtGn took issue with the budget
figures wbich mcluded a breakdown of
actual expenses during the first ten
months of this year totaling $42.5,628,
including $209,994 paid on the new
town ball-fire stat1on complex.

opposition_ It provided an add1twnal
$6.000 for capitol improvements to

The Utility District B budget of
$~4,1164 which also included an in·
crease in the capital imprcvements of
$5,000 to offset the cost of a generator,
was adopted by the TGwn Board since
Gnly one ·resident c! the district was
presPnt.
l<'o!lowing the hearings on the four
budgets, the hoard held a public use
hearing on the anticipated $13,159 the
tGwn will rece!ve next year in federal
revenue sharing funds.
Ed Becker, Gf the town pianning
board, suggested that $6,000 be
earmarked fGr new town parks since a
committee was appcinted to in·
vestigate alternate park sites to take
the load of Hanson Park.
Another resident suggested that
cons1deratwn be g1ven for a police
department in the future. Elfering
indicated that scme of the federal
funds should also be considered for
tcwn roads.

Why can't the
money be spent?
To the Editor: ;; <J.:.~ I J
On Nov. 15 Fire Chief Eugene
Krueger of the Bristol Fire Department went before the town board to
request equipment for the depart·
'ment. He deemed this equipment ne<>
essary to keep the department up to
date so that it could render the best
and most efficient service to the community.
It was established that there was
approximately $14,000 still available
in the department's budget_
The fire chief was greeled with the

BRISTOL - About 20 representatives from Kenosha County towns
met Monday at Bristol to continue the
lengthy task of developing a General
Zoning Shoreland and Floodplain Ordinance.
According to Frank Volpentesta,
corporation counsel, the task is "about
25 percent complete and already represents about 1,500 hours of work."
The stated purpose of the proposed

ordinance is to "regulate and en·
courage the use of land, waters and
structures in Kenosha County in a
planned and orderly manner!'
When complete, the document will
specify 2~ basic zonmg districts and
three overlay districts.

Agriculture will be defined in three
districts - preservation, general and
agricultural-related manufacturing,
warehousing and marketing.
The ordinance includes 12 residential and three business categories as
well as districts for industry, parks
and conservancy. Overlay districts
include floodplain, hi5torical and adult
entertainment.
The initial task of writing the ordinance has been undertaken by
George Melcher, Kenosha County zonmg administrator, and his staff.
Copies are submitted to town representatives who review the text and
make changes.

one by industry, labor unions and
.1inority groups as well.
As the editorial states, market·
ag of milk is a very complex job.
'his is why it is important that
:overnment officials are a ware of
lOW the marketing system works.
At present the support price of
nilk is considerably less than the
narket value so it is incorrect to
1ssume that the support price is
he reason for higher milk costs.
.'he support price puts a noor
mder milk prices so that farmers
1ave an incentive to produce am·
lie amounts of milk. Shortages
end to up milk prices and bring in
nore foreign product. The last
hing we want to do is to become
lependent on inferior inspected

Although intlation has helped
ncrease the cost of milk I believe
·ecent increases are the result of
he meat boycott a few years

Joorer years when the boycott
leveloped.

when culled, are also meat
animals, so the large demand for
cull cows is keeping milk cow
numbers down. Also, cheese is a
good substitute for protein and
this creates a demand for cheese
The law of supply and demand has
driven milk prices up.
Milk is still a bargain. The
average wage earner in Kenosha
worked 10.7 minutes for 'h gallon
of milk in 1968. In 1978 the same
worker spends 8.9 minutes for the
same '12 gallon. Milk has never
been cheaper in terms of real
dollars.
Dairy fanners are a very small
minority of people. Most dairy
farms are family operations doing
an efficient job producing high
quality milk and food for the
nation and world.

Bristol's Liane Redpath is a

She is a cast member of the
multl-miHion dollar extravaganza
called "Hello, Hollywood, Hello''

at MGM's new Grand Hotel in
Reno, Nev.
"It is the biggest-stage show in

the world," Liane said. She discussed her career while visiting
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Albert

"I'm one of 140 cast members
and it's easy to feel very insignificant and small up on the big
stage," she said. "So, occasionally, on my day off I will sit in the

on Bnstars Step I aid application

Bristol's two utility districts sub-mitted an apphcation for financial aid
to complete an Inflow and Infiltration

The application was completed in
November, 1977, and sent to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources for review and approval. After
perusal by the DNR, the document
was sent on to the EPA in June of 1978.
But, according to Hubert Jensen ol

Senior citizens
deserve priority
Tn the Editor;
i
There seems to be an erroneous
rumor c1rculating among the senior
citl~ns of Bristol to the effect that I
resent their having the use of the new
Town Hall meeting room and kitchen
facilities.
Nothing could be further from the
truth. One of the primary reasons for
the new meeting hall was to provide
the senior citizens with a better place
to meet, better rest rooms, better
kitchen facilities and a much more
C'lmfortab!e atmosphere for their »
cia! enjoyment. My feeling is that
their calendar of events should carry
the very highest priority rating.

THE FOLLOWING is a dog report number two!

Sparks Fly Over Beer Permit
(Bristol) --In what was called by some as
"a deliberate attempt to kill Progress
Days," the Bristol Town Board tabled s
Firemen's Association request for a beer
permit for the July event.
According to Arthur Magwitz, president
of the association, the money earned from
the beer tent pays for the display of fireworks during Progress Days. No tent, no
fireworks.
"We have to order the fireworks by the
second week in February to make sure we'll
have them," he said.
It was the seCond time the board had
tabled the permit request. Earlier they
refused to grant the permit until assurances
were given by the association that more
police protection would be added to the beer
tent.
- At the town board meeting Feb. 12
Magwitz said the Kenosha County Fair

Police had agreed to work at the tent.
"We expect to have three men on duty,"
said Magwitz, "one at each entrance to the
tent and one roaming inside.
"We do not fee! other alcoholic bever·
ages brought to the park grounds are our
responsibility,'' he added.
"We have always managed the affair in
an orderly manner and will endeavor to do
the same in the future,'' Magwitz concluded.
But supervisor Russell Horton said the
request "at this time is premature." He
moved for the board to table the request
until after the April election.
Magwitz said he did not know if the
tabling action meant there would be no frreworks at Progress Days. This year the association said the fireworks would cost $1,600.
"We depend on the beer tent to raise
that money," Magwitz said.

we're okay," be said. "If they do, we're in
trouble."
Fire department personnel weren't happy,
either.
TI~ey complained about not being included in
the brochure about the open ho-ueoe.
"Nowhere does it say anything ubout the f'i.re
deparlment,'" obsetved one fireman, "'!'hey !the
town bourd) said it wa.sn'l intentional, but we fe-d
sLighted ll:tlyway.''

Said :Fisher, '"l"ne brochure called thi~ !.he
Municipal Building. Not one mention was made
of it as the new fire station.' '
"The firemen have been working for two
years to get better rapport with the town board,''
said Fisher, "and things just aren't improving."
Despite the bickering, firemen seemed happy
with their new home.
"We've got a lot more room thnn before,"
said Fire Chief Eugene Krueger. "There's more
wmkir;g spuce and much better lighting," hE;
continued, "We know there are some things that
should have been done better, but every buildi.ng
will have its faults.''
Spud Magwitz agreed.
"If the town board is complaining now, then
they never should have gotten rid of the building
committee," he said. "There were construction
men oil that committee who could have prevented
some of these problems. So if there ARE
problems, they're the fault oft he board.''
The new building houses the town board,
clerk, treasurer, building inspector and constables, and provides 10 rooms for the fire
department and rescue squad.
"The really nice thing about the building,"
Fisher continued, "is that it gives us a floor
pattern that will mean we can respond to any call
without moving vehicles first." (The fire
department has six vehicles; the rescue squad bas
two.)
Guests at the ceremony included 66th District
Assemblywoman Mary K. Wagner, and repre·
sentatives from several other area fue depart-ments including Pleasant Prairie, Solllel"s and
Twin Lakes.

Maurer's Madison Report

Saving the Family Farm
Over the past decade, Wisconsin agriculture
has undergone massive change, both for good
and bad. Farm production is up and the state has
maintained its excellent standing among the
states in the union. Our state's reputation for
agricultural excellence has been enhanced over
the period.
Yes, some major problems face the farmers of
the state. While production is up, the number of
fanns has decreased by 31,000 since 1963. There
a.re now 99,000 farms in Wisconsin.
While the size of the f = in Wisconsin has
increased to an average of 191.9 acres in 1978
from a 1963 average of 167.7 acres, the state has
still lost some 2.8 million acres of farmland. Many
of the farms sold in that period were sold to large
corporate fanning operations.
With Wisconsin's agricultural tradition finnly
rooted in the fwnily farm, these statistics from the
state Department of Agriculture should shock
anybody who is concerned with f=ing in the
state. The fwnily farm has been the bulwa.rk of
this industry and has provided much I!Upport for
the rural economy.
The continued demise of the family farm
could cause serious problems in the small towns
and villages as well aa in the general economy of
the state.
Added to the problem is the inability of young
adults to take up fanning as a career because of

hmrt and equ!pmed co~rs. Money has been
for loans, making i1 nearly impossible for the
young farmer to raise ti-w nr.cesssry capital to
begin a farm.
\Ve have found a ~ohnk>n t.o this problem,
however, in th!' form of a constitutional
amendment now before> the &nate Agriculture
Committee.
The amendment, S0'1ate Joint Re~olution 6,
which I have co-sponsored, would allow the state
lo uae its bonding pown to make funds available
t.o fanners for the pDTthn~e of farmlands and
buildings.
As with all constitu1iona! amendments in this
state, this resolution murrt pasa two consecutive
sessions of the legislature and be approved by the
dtizens in a referendum. Th" proposal already
passed lnt session anrl w£c are working for its
passage in this session nf the iegislalure.
The loan program would >Vork like the
veterang' loan program currently administered by
lhe state. It will not etmt tsxpayers anything
because the loans are paid back with interest. At
the same time, the program would provide a
means to save Wisconsin'~ family farm tradition.
StatE' guaranteed low-interest loans to farmers
won't be a cure-all, howt'ver. Yet, we owe it to the

and is the legislative watchdog over the
bureaucracy. But its effectiveness is limited
because the bureaucracy is much too large for one
committee to watch.
Standing committees of the legislature can
request a meeting with an agency bead to review
proposed rnles, but they have no power to
approve or disapprove rules. However, many feel
if these committees were allowed that power, the
bureaucracy could be better kept in check.
The lack of this power has resulted in mounds
of red tape plus angry and bewildered citizens.
To remedy this situation, the JCRAR has
introduced two bills in the state senate which
grant these standing committees the power to
disapprove administrative rules.
The two bills, Senate Bills 2 and 3, if passed,
would require that all proposed administrative
rulf's be submitted to the appropriate legislative
committee for review.
Under the provisions of these bills, if the
committee disapproves the rule, it is referred to
the JCRAR for its consideration. The joint
committee can overrule the standing committee
which would allow the rule to take effect.
If, however, the JCRAR agrees and disapproves the rule, it is referred to the whole
legislature for its consideration. In the end, if the
legislature rejects the rule, it cannot be
implemented.
The important point about the bills is that they
will provide for greater accountability of state
agencies.
This should come as welcome news to
Wisconsin residents. At last a means will be
provided to allow for closer scrutiny of
bureaucratic rules. I hope it will mean fewer
complex and confusing regulations on the people.
Senate Bil13 will have an added impact on the
state rule-making procesS. This bill requires all
state agencies to prepa.re fiscal reports on aU
proposed rules. This report would be a sort of
"environmental impact statement" on how the
rule would affect the pocketbooks of state
residents.
The joint committee voted unanimously for
these bills last week. It appears that they will pass
the full legislature with little trouble. l believe
their enactment into law will be a victory for the
people of Wisconsin.

Town Hall Unveiled;
But the Bick"~r,ing Continues
BY ANGELA CASPER
!Bristol) -- Bristol officially unveiled its new

town hall-fire station complex Sunday, Feb. IL
More than 500 guests attended ribbon--cutting
ceremonies.
It was supposed to be THE day for forgetting
wounds and burying the proverbial hatc!tet. For
uniting instead of dividing.
''We hope this building will tie the community
togoilller," said Town Chairman Noel Elfering.
"We've had problems and now we hope they're
behind us."
"Having a nice building like this is reason to
forget the animosity,'' agreed assistant fire chief

Bud Fisher.

That's the way it was SUPPOSED to be.
That's NOT the way ito was.
During tours of the $400.000 building, each of
the three town board members, Elfering, Russell
HortQn and William Cuseru:a, readily pointed out
the "poor workmanship" in the .rtructure. They
alluded to floor cradts, poor electrical wiring,
poor caulking and bk.dt work
even the
increase in heating bilh over the former town
hall.
"Wben you pay $400,('.>00 for a building, you
should get profeasional workmanship,'' said
E!fering, "If these crack~ don't go any further,

Sparks Fly Over Beer Permit
(Bristol) -- In what was called by some as
"a deliberate attempt to kill Progress
Days," the Bristol Town Board tabled a
Firemen's Association request for a beer
permit for the July event.
According to Arthur Magwitz, president
of the association, the money earned from
the beer tent pays for the display of fire·
works during Progress Days. No tent, no
fireworks.
"We have to order the fireworks by the
second week in February to make sure we'!!
have them," he said.
It was the second time the board had
tabled the permit request. Earlier they
refused to grant the permit until assurances
were given by the association that more
police protection would be added to the beer
tent.
At the town board 'meeting Feb. 12
Magwitz said the Kenosha County Fair

Police had agreed to ;>:ork at the tent.
"We expect to have three men on duty,"
sn~d Magwitz, "one at ca.;;-h entrance to the
tent and one roaming in~idc.
"We do not feel other 11koholic beverages brought to the pilrk grounds are our
responsibiHty," he added.
''We have always managed the affair in
an orderly manner and wiH r:ndeavor to do
the same in the future,·· Magwit:rc-oncluded.
But .'>upervisor Ru~.~cl1 Horton said the
request ''at this time is premature." He
moved for the board t0 table the request
until after the April election.
Magwitz said he did r:<'t know if the
tabling action meant thnf' would be no firework~ at Progress Day:o:, Thi~ year the association said the firewotks would cost $1,600.
''We depend on the bt:er tent to raise
that money,·' Magw1tz said

we're okay," he said. "If they do, we're in
trouble."
Fire department personnel weren't happy,
either.
They complained about pot being included in
the brochu:re about the open house.
"Nowhere does it say anything about the fire
department," observed one fireman. "They (the
town board) said it waan't intentional, but we feel
slighted anyway."
Said Fisher, "The brochure called this the
Municipal Building. Not one mention was made
of it as the new fire atation."
"The firemen have been working for two
yean to get better rapport with the town board,"
said Fisher, "and things just aren't improving."
Despite the bickering, firemen seemed happy
with their new home.
"We've got a lot more room than before,''
said Fire Chief Eugene Krueger. ''There's more
working spaee and much better lighting," he
continued. "We know there are some things that
should have been done better, but every buikling
will have its faults.''
Spud Magwitz agreed.
"U the town board is complaining now, then
they never should have gotten rid of the building
committee," he said. "There were construction
men on that committee who could have prevented
some of these problems. So jf thel'e ARE
problems, they're the fault of the board."
The new building houses the town board,
clerk, treasurer, building inspector and constables, and provides 10 rooms for the fire
department. and rescue squad.
"The really nice thing about the building,"
Fisher continued, "is that it gives us a floor
pattem that will mean we can respond to any call
without moving vehicles first.'' (The fire
department has six vehicles; the rescue squad has
two.)
Guests at the ceremony included 66th District
Assemblywoman Mary K. Wagner, and representatives from several other area fire departments including Pleasant Prairie, Somen and
Twin Lakes.

Bristol Town Board Responds
To Coverage of Beer Permit Action
~1;-JJ

EDITOR'S NOTE- Bristol Town Board supervioor William Cusenza issued a special statement
this week in response to last week's coverage by
the WestoshaReport ofthe open house at the new
town hall-fire station a.nd of a town board meeting
on Feb. 12.
"In covering the events of last week the
Westosha Report misrepresented the facts, and
this stll.tement today is made to clarify the board's
position.
"In regards to the open house and the bro·
chures that were handed out, the intent of the
board was not to slight the fire department, since
it was the board's understanding after discussing
the matter at a town board meeting with the
assistant chief that the fire department was going
to take care of its own literature for the people.
With this knowledge, the board went ahead and
provided litemture for the other departments

within the Municipal
be a communication
department, and the board wm look into the
matn and try to redify it.
"'In reporting the event2 of Monday night's
town board meeting, the lead statement. about 'a
delibHatc attempt tc kill ProP;n?:;;~ Days' was far
from the truth. The board hag bt~d several problems r,ver the last few months n~ga;-ding Progress
Days and has not had adequ~te time to resolve
o problems and therefon• f>elt it would not be
; to make and bind both t)-m hr:mrd ll<nd future

people under the influence. This is of great
concern to the board. It was not known until the
Monday, Feb. 12 meeting that there was such a
direct tie with the beer concessions a.nd the fireworks. We are concerned with the fireworks,
since each year we have had complaints regard·
ingthe showering of sparks within the area of the
display. Examples; sparks flying down onto the
drying fields with the potential of a fire and the
premature explosions or the late explosions of the
fireworks showering people and structures with
burning ash. These are just some of the problems
the board is considering, not to mention that the
preceding hoard felt such a decision should be left
for this board. So in April of 1977 we made the
decision to issue a beer permit.
''The people of Bristol should not let political
rhetoric cloud the real issues and make it appear
''"r problems still ellist.''

the best alternative is trying to bring a

this year or ne){L"
Cusenza said he is encouraged by
the mterest of KMH to the extent of
funding the search for a doctor.
At Wednesday's meeting, the board

According to Na.el Elfering, town

Gardener and Kowalik will pay all

The price tag on the project could
exceed $10,000
Jon Mason, town attorney, was
directed to meet with the property
owners and Jensen and Johnson, town
engineers, to draft the papers for the
project
Darryl Cornelius, a representative
of Kelbe Brothers, Milwauk~e, told

"Graders are designed for snow
removal," said Cornelius. "They can
break through deeper drifts and throw

the snow farther than a truck can"
Elfenng said town trucks couldn't
handle recent snows.
"They simply are not adequate for
the kind of hlinards we have been
having."
No decisions were made pending
review of the available equipment.
A resolution signed by the board
authorizes Glona Bailey, town clerk,
to execute a deed for 13.1\43 acres of
land in Bristol's industnal park. The
land w1!! be sold to Henry Poplar at
~4,200 per acre or a. total of $58,140.60.

Mason reported discussing the
traller with Robert Rogers, of
Greathail of l!linois, Ltd., owners of
the fair.
"Rogers has had problems with a
flre, break-ins and burglaries, and be
says he needs someone on the premises," said Mason
"Town ordinances do not allow

Bristol planning bo~~~ rejects land use maps
By ARLENE JENSEN
Staff Writer
BRISTOL- Town planners Monday
recommended rejection of a !and use
map prepared by Southeastern Wis·
consin Regional Planning Commission
(SEWRPC) and the office of the
Kenosha County zoning administrator·
The plan body will take it:; recommendation to the Town Board for final
approval asking the board to "stay
with the original zoning maps and
recommend no zoning changes other
than those authorized at the
courthouse."
When asked about the rejection of
the maps this morrung, George
Melcher, Kenosha County zoning ad·
ministrator, said, "Ther.e's nothing to
reject because land use IS a matter of
fact It Ia what a:iats today. We asked
the townsbipJ to participate in the

mapping because they are the ones
who are most familiar with. the way
the land is being used.''
Melcher said several townships
have returned completed maps.
When land use maps were presented
to ail Kenosha County townships dur·
ing the summer of 1977, Melcher and
Roland Tonn, SEWRPC, were careful
to point out that the maps did not
reflect zoning but use.
"We are trying to find out how the
land is actually being used," Melcher
said at that time.
Tonn said the maps began as aerial
photographs. They are color coded
showing single family homes, farms,
multiple famlly dwellings and vacant
land committed to urban develop.
ment. The maps also point out unused
land commercial and industrial uses
as ,.,:ell as natural resourcu 1ubh as

parkland, wetland and woodland.
. ~elcher a~d Tonn asked town offlc1als to revtew the maps, check for
errors and complete the color coding
based on their knowledge of actual
land use m the towns.
Melcher said land use maps would
be followed by soil maps showing the
difference between acreage that Is
pn~e , agncultural land and that
wh1ch 1s not.
Input from the town was essential,
Tonn said at the 1977 meeting.
"The maps will show centers of
res~denti~l ~rowth and help us plan
zonmg d!stncts. Feedback from the
towns will help us pool it into a
workable text," Tonn sat~.
. ~ut,, lf Mon.day's m.e.:tmg was any
md!cat;on, Br!stol ofhc1als were not
convinced.
"They want us to force people to

build .in population centers," said Noel
Elfermg, town chainnan. "~nying
people the nght to build on their own
land would start a war all over the
county."
.
In a report to planners, Elfermg
again pointed up his concern about the
town's sewer plant and problems en·
countered in wet weather.
.
He said, ''We ran one .million
gallons through the plant durmg the
last two days."
The plant has a capacity of 205,000
gallons per day, but nonnal usage is
105,000 gallons per day.
. .
.
He blamed the excess on mflltration
from unknown sources but said an
in.filtration 'and inf!o~ (I and I) study
.~11! commence thiS summer and
hopefully, we wll! get some an·
swers"
A moratorium on extensions of

Bristol's sewer system wiU be continued un_til com~!etion of the I and I
study, said Elfenng.
"We can !Jve with that sewer plant
for anolher five years," said Elfering,
''if we can stop the Infiltration into the
system and tf we don't get any big
subdiVISions,"
Il was not subdivisions but one
mobile home. that annoyed Edward
Becker, planmng board member.
Becker said he has received phone
calls from town residents complaining
about a mobile home parked on the
g~unds of the Renaissance Fa1re,
H1ghway WG, west of I-94.
"There are only three ptaces in this
township where trai!eu are allowed,
and that's not one of them," said
Becker.
.
.
The mob1le borne bemg used by a
caret.a,ker at the grounds has also been

the subject of concern at recent Town
Board meetings, and Elfering told
Becker steps are being taken to cor·
rect the problem
"We've turned it over to the town
attorney, and he will make them
aware they are in violation of the town
ordinance," said Elfering.
Under the ordinance, mobile homes
may not be parked outside designated
courts unless it is done in connection
with issuance of a building permit.
''Permission to use a trailer ternporarily could be granted in the case
of someone who is rebuilding a burned
out home," said Elfering.
"I can understand the need for a
caretaker at the Renaissance Faire,"
said Becker, "'but these people are
sending chlidren to schooL It's costing
us money and we're getting nothing in
return."

The possibility of paramedic units is

Cusenza.

Egg Farm· give~ ,~ months
to eliminate odors
T.:'EWS
Circuit Judge Michael Fisher lias
given the Quality Egg Farm, Bristol,
nine months "to eliminate all objectionable odors."
Thejudgealso will appoint a "referee" to monitor the firm's efforts to
comply with the order.
The $1.2 million agri-business on
Highway &0 has been the subject of
neighbors' complaints about manure
odors and f!y problems for a decade.
The farm, owned since 1967 by Chris
Aralis, Chicago, consists of seven
laying houses for 140,000. chickens, a
feed mill and an egg packmg bu!lding.
Last April the W1sconsin attorney
general's office went to court seeking
a pennanent injunctton to abate "the

public nuisance arising from the Qual·
ily Egg Fann." The state's suit main·
tained chicken manure odors from the
farm constitute a public nuisance.
In mid-November a bearing was
held in Judge Fisher's court on the
permanent injunction request. After
the two-day hearing, Fisher took the
matter under advisement. He issued
his finding in a written decision this
week.
Fisher, in his decision, noted testi·
mony by neighbors of the egg farm,
calllng odor from the chicken manure,
especially m warmer weather,
"pungent, nauseating, unbearable."
The judge agreed with lhe neighbors
~and the State- that "the evidence

~_;::;:e
~l(

"lit.

.._,-a rea

"

.
clearly shows an interference wtth the
use and enjoyment of the land of the
surrounding residential neighbors "
Judge Fisher noted, however, that
there are rapidly developing techno-logtcal advances bemg made Ill the
area of odor abatement. . .
He indicated In his deCJS!On that he
would allow the egg firm nine months
to make use of that technology.

I

_
Judge Fisher also retamed jurisdiction of the case for a year. A
hearing is to be held after nine months
to determine if tbe problem is soll'ed.
The decision makes it clear that fail·
ure to permanently abate the odor
nmsance "thmugh technology"' would
leave no other answer elLcept "the
total anmbllatJOn of the busine!'s."
The judge ordered QuaiJty Egg

Farm to submit, within 30 days, a
"detailed plan for means and methods
of controlhng odors at the farm" and
"documented proof that contracts
have been let and all necessary equipment has been ordered."
At the hearing last November,
Ara!is outlined a tentative plan to
construct a 129 by 127-foot manure
drying shed and to employ additional
ozone generating units to combat the
smells. The proposal, lie estimated,
could cost the firm uptCI ~1,000._ He
contended an air-drymg techmque
would be non-odorous.
Judge Fisher's order requires,
within frO days, the retention of an
expert in the use of ozone generatmg

equipment.
In nine months, Quality Egg Fann
must have eliminated a!l objectionable odors emanating from the
chicken farm and to materially reduce
the fly problem.
A court-appointed referee is to
monitor progress by Quality Egg
Farm, V!SJtmg the farm at least
monthly. The referee is to submit
monthly progress reports to the court.
Quality Egg Farm is ordered to post
an as-yet undetermined amount in
bond _against any possible damage
smts f1led m the future by neighbors.
Judge V!sher scheduled further pro-ceedmgs in the case for 9:30 a.m
March 13.

Deficiencies claimed
In Lake George study
Nj

By ARLENE JENSEN
Staff Writer
BRISTOL- The clean-up of George
Lake has hogged down because of a
deficiency in a report submitted by
Environmental Research Associates,
a Madison firm.
Noel Elfering, town chairman, said
Monday technical data requested by
the Department of Natural Resources
and the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission has not
been completed.
"DNR and SEWRPC are trying to
come up with management alternatives for the lake," said E1fering,
"and they're upset because the report
is deficient."
John Thresher, of the ERA firm,
was hired to do the study in 1976 after
a meeting of the Lake George Public
Inland Lake Protection and Rehabilitation District. Bids were advertised and the contrac!_awarded t?

1977, so th.e gc.oup agreed that all plans
for the lake should be held in abeyance
until results were known.
Lake diStriCt membErs met again
July 14, 1978, and were Wid a 70..page
report had been completed by
Thresher and sent on to DNR. The
essence of the report was "too mu~h
sediment and too many weeds l!l
George Lake,"
.
At the summer meeting, Thresher
said, "DNR W!!l probably ha.ve management alternatives ready 111 about
three or four months" after studying
the ERA report t:o be sure it was
technically correct.
Yet a letter from Oliver Williams,
director of DNR's office of Inland
Lake Renewal dated March 8, 1979, is
not as optimistic as Thresher's predictions
"We are as anxious as anyone to
complete this study and close our
books on the study," said Williams.

Bristol tables action
on mobile home park

Firms

By ARLENE JENSEN :_,· 1 Staff Writer
BRISTOL- Planning board members Monday night
wrestled with a request for a new mobile home park in
Bristol and, in the end, decided they need more time to
study the issue.
"My main concern is how ttris will affect our
utilities," said Joseph Czubin of the planning board.

and seeks to move a 24 by ,1S·foo1 building from its

''We can't make a decision without studying the impact

a trailer park will have on our community."
Czubin asked to have the request tabled until 7:30
p.m. April 3, the next meeting of the planning hoard.
(Members of the sewer utility wil! meet at 6 p.m.
March 20 followed by the water utility meeting al 8
p.m. March 22.)
Other items to come before the Monday meeting
induded:
• Two requests for the purchase of land in the
Bristol industrial park.
• A plan by Steven Mills, real estate broker, for
construction of a multi·unit apartment house in the
village.
.
Mr. and Mrs. Phillip Ogden, Waukegan, who propose
to build a 100-lot mobile home court at the intersection
of Highways 45 and AH, appeared with their attorney,
V. J. Lucareli of the Kenosha firm ofLucareli, Neuman
and Ungemach.
The issue dates back to Nov. 27, 1!172., when an earlier
Bristol Town Board agreed to allol" construction and
operation of the mobile home court. Lucareli produced
a preliminary agreement signed by Earl Hollister,
former town chairman, Dec. 20, 1972.
When questioned about the lapse of more than five
years, Lucareli said, "The Ogdens have worked hard
putting this package together. They have invested a lot
of money to get to this point."
He said he has records to prove continual planning
for the project.
"When you made your plans back in 1972, our sewer
plant was runnifl8 about 30,000 gallons per day," said
Noel Elfering, town chairman, "but that is no longer
the case."
Information presented to the town board last week by
K L. Crispell of the engineering firm of Jensen and
Johnson, Elkhorn, indicates that Bristol's sewage
treatment plant currently averages 112,000 gallons per
day, The system has an average design capacity of
210,00(} gallons per day.
Crispell said when the sewer plant reaches !15 percent
of capacity for three consecutive months, the Department of Natural Resources must be notified.
Lucareli said his clients are "prepared to enter into
a contract with the utility districts and pay the amount
required for connection fees." He estimated the
payment of $100,000 to the sewer district and $21,000 to
tOO water district.
Lucareli urged action on the Ogden's request and
said, "Every day costs them more money."
"You've been working on it for more than five
years," said Elfering. "All Wl!'re asking for is three or
four weeks. 1 think we have to get the feeling of the
community on this issue. If the people don't like this
idea, I guess you'll just have to test the validity of that
contract."
THE PLANNING BOARD voted to recommend sale
of two acres of land at $5,000 an acre in the Bristol
Indusia! park tooodhridge Ornamental Iron, Chicago,
for construction of a new plant
Marilyn Woodbridge, owner of the firm, and her
attorney, Tom McGinty, presented plans for moving
the company's operations to Bristol. The firm manufactures spiral staircases using fine wire electronic
weldmg.
When asked by Elfering if the process adds pollutants to the air, the answer from McGinty was "No."
Mrs. Woodbridge said the 20,000 square foot plant
will require a staff of 23 to 28 persons, depending on
seasonal needs. She said her company will continue to
operate the Chicago plant for a time but gradually all
operations will move to Kenosha County

Well repair won't

BRISTOL Residents
and industries relying on the
Bristol town we!l for their
water supply will get a oneweek notice in advance of an
anticipated shut-down of the
facility, according to Noel
Elfenng, to""n chairman.
The well is expected to be
out of service for 24 hours
for purposes of lowering the
pump, and users will be
drawing water from the
storage tank during that period. Work will be completed by March 31.
At a special meeting Monday night of the Bristol water utility, Elfering annoucned that the contract
!01 modification of the l"ell

has been awarded to the low
bidder, Milaeger Well and
Pump Co., Milwaukee, at a
total cost of $2,310.
Other bidders were:
Layne-Northwest, Milwaukee, $3,403, and Hoover Well
Service, Zion, m., $5,410
Elfering said work on the
""ell will be scheduled during the middle of the week.
'Our original plan was to
do it on a weekend, but wedecided against it. If we find
we need parts, they would
be difficult to get on a week~d

"We don't anticipate any
interruption in service."
said Elfering.

BRISTOL- The flu and colds cut heavily into the
total anticipated donors at the Bristol community blood
drive Monday held under the auspices of the Bristol
Fire Department Auxiliary.
Two hundred persons, the maximum which could be
accommodated, had been signed up for the blood dnve,
according to Dorothy Niederer, chairman, but 50 did
not appear because of illness.
Mrs. Niederer said 144 persons reported to give blood
and 118 of that number actually donated. There were 18
deferrals
This is the hardest time of the year for blood drives
!Jecause of colds and flu, she saiQ, but blood is in short
supply at the Milwaukee Blood tenter which conducts
the local blood program.
The fire department auxiliary prepared and served
turkey dinners to the blood center staff and workers.
She said about 25 persons volunteered their time to
serve on the day·long drive.
The drive makes it possible for any Bristol resident
to ;eceive blood when needed without a charge, Mrs.
Niederer said.
Plans will be announced later for the next blood drive
in September

~.,.. c).

7'0

BY ANGELA CASPER
1Paddock Lake) - Seventy-five Kenosha
County Sheriff'~ Department deputies fight crime
daily: but only one works fuil time to prevent
crime.
He is Paddock Lake's Joe Riesselmann,
known to nearly every Westosha youngster as
"Officer Joe."
The tall, burly 42-year-old Riesselmann may
well be the most important member of the county
sheriff'~ department. He is defmitely one of its
busiest.
As a one-man ''community relations unit,''
Officer Riessehnann has a job description that
defie~ comprehension.
"Whenevf>r someone has a particular need, I
do whatever I can to fulfill it," Joe says simply.

Trap shoot draws fire from Bristol· group
'7:1-t-n

By JAMES ROHDE
Staff Writer
BRISTOL - More than lB months

ago, Rob Rogers appeared before the
Bristol Town Board to outline plans
for h.IS proposed King Richard's Ren-

aissance Faire amid protests from
area residents of the l-94, Stateline
Road site.
Despite opposition, a compromise
wa,, reached between Rogers and the

town; the faire was allowed to open
and IS currently in its second season.
Monday night, almost aU of the
same pnncipals were again on hand at
the town board meeting as Rogers
explained his plan

to create and oper-

ate a trap shooting range on his
property when the Faire is not In
progress
{OrlgmaUy Rogers submitted a proposal for a trap shooting range and
hunt.Lng preserve, but Monday he said

that at present, his request was solely
for the trap shoot.)

Rogers and his attorney, Donald
Mayew, Kenosha, explained that the
trap shooting range wa~ proposed on
the !and immediately west of the 1-94
service road, approximately 400 feet
north of Stateline Road. Hours of
operation would be from 9 a.m. until
dark primarily on weekends, but plans
also include one or two days during the
week.
Mayew said tests were conducted in
July in the area of the proposed trap
range by a Milwaukee firm, and results indicated decibel readings well
within or below the guidlines established by the Occupational Safety and
Health Act {OSHA). He said the formal report on the tests will he submitted to the town board when completed,
Attorney Johu Pious, Kenosha, rep-

resenting Max R1es told the board of
his client's oppositwn to the plan
because of the noise factor, concern
for the safety of persons and animals
and tile devaluation of property.
Robert Frederickson expressed
doubts over the results of noise tests
especially since tiley were conducted
during the summer when foliage helps
absorb the sounds. He questioned what
the decibel readings would be during
the winter when there are no leaves on
the trees
Town attorney Jon Mason also read
letters from Ed McNamara, who lives
in the immediate area of the proposed
trap range, objecting to tile plan and
alleging Rogers' failure to live up to
prom1ses on the Renaissance Faire
In the absence of vacationing Supervisor Russell Horton, the board re·
{erred Rogers' request for a trap
shooting range to the planning board

for a recommendation after the report
is recep;ed on the noise tests.
A PUBLIC HEARING was also held
on the application of John Walauskis
for a combination Class B liquor and
malt beverage license for the George
Lake Tavern. Since there was no
objection, the board agreed to grant

P1·int program produces profits
By DIANA DeHAVEN
Staff Writer
When the silk screening program
began at the Kenosha Achievement
Center in Bristol four years ago it was
to produce simple Christmas cards.
The silk screening department at
KAC now produces a myriad of products and will hopefully gross about
$50,000 for the handicapped adults
participating in the program.
"What started out as a very simple
project has blossomed tremendously
in the past lew years," said Silvio
Balsano, program director- ··we have

gone on to produce note cards. gift
tags, lettering and designing on sweaters, athletic sb.irts, T-shirts, jogging

shorts and posters ·
The program is producing a good
profit, but not for the center itself.
Money made on the products is paid to
tb.e KAC clients as wages for the work
they do in the program. Salary differs
from client to chent, depending on the
amount of skill needed in each aspuct
of the silk screening process.
"What has enabled us to do so well
can be attributed a great deal to the
equipment we are using, which is
reaily the best you can buy," Balsano
said ''About a year ago Kenosha
Special Olymptcs purchased a dryer, a
multi·color printer semi-automatic
silk screen and a deco press for our
program. Since January, when we
started using the equipment full time
we have done abot~t $20,{l(l() in Nntract
work. Our goal for this year is
$50,{l(l()."

!Schnurr involved In
\

By JAMES ROHDE
Staff Writer
WILMOT - When the Kiwanis
Club of Western Kenosha established the "George Price Memorial
Trophy" a year ago to honor a
person for outstanding service to
the Kenoaha County Fair, it was
only appropriate that the first recipient be Marlin Schnurr.
Schnurr was one of a_ group of
indlVlduals resp<HlSible for establishing a pennanent site for the fair
m Wilmot and served as its president and manager

He got involved in the fair as a
ynung vocational agriculture teacher from Kewaskum who joined the

stall at Wilmot High School after
graduating fmm the University of
W1Sconsin in 1926.
The fair, prior to that time, was
held at various locations in the

, county, including a 70.acre tract
purchased by the County Board on
60th Street, which now houses the

county highway garage.
Other sites included Old Settler's
Park in Paddock Lake, the old
Tannery Building on Roosevelt
Road in Kenosha, and Wilmot,
where it returned in the mid 1930S.
During the war years of the early
1940s, the fair was reduced to a oneday 4-H exhibit. Following the war,
a dozen persons, including Schnurr,
decided -the fair should have a
peiTI!anent home.
They formed the Wilmot Fair
Organization and each contributed
$100 to make a down payment on a
120-acre site adjacent to the
Wilmot High School WhiCh they
purchased for $6,000.
The only stipulation of the group
was that the land be sold for $50 an
acre either to the fair or to the
schools. Over the years, the Wilmot
Grade School District purchased 10
acres and the fair association the
remaining 110 acres.

"When the entire tract was sold,
each of the 12 original contributors
got their $100 investment back,"
Schnurr ~id.
When the fair association incorporated with the state, Schnurr
served as the organizations first
president and manager along side
George Price, vice president.
(Price, who later served as presIdent and for many years master of
ceremonies for the fair's free act
presentations, was killed two years
ago in an automobile accident
while traveling to the fairgr~~nd!:_)
"We always felt that the fair
would grow if properly managed
and properly maintained," SChnurr
sa1d, "but we never envisioned
yearly atfendance figures approaching 70,000 persons."

Schnurr retired from the fair

He has seen the school grow
from 54 students when he joined the
faculty of five in 11?2fi to 1ts current
enrollment of more th_an 900, even
though the district was sp!1t when
Central High School was built.
Schnurr, 73, keeps act1ve helping
out at the family greenhouse. He
became involved ir. the now~r business in 1942 when he purchased the
unoccupied gre~nho:;se for his
wife, Charlotte, to open a flower
shop.
The business, like the fair, continuaily grew and was later
purcbased by son John. The

BRISTOL- Work on Bristol's new
town hall-fire station is progressing
rapidly and Noel Elferi.ng, town chairman, said Monday, ''We expect to be
in the building by O<:t. 1 "
Elfering said he inspected the building with Hugh Burdick of Bane Nelson
Co., general contractors on the
project.
"We went over everything, and it
appears that the project is going ex-

treme!y well," s;Hd Eifenng.
''We thought we wouid be touch-up
painting on some of the metal components of the building,'' said Elfering,
"but Burdick said there has been no
significant damage, and no touch-up is
required."
Concern for the building components was expressed at earlier meetings becal!lle materials laid at the
construction site for a year before
building began.
Ground was broken in the spring of

1977, but because of unsu1table sml at
the site, the project became mired in a
bitter controversy. Actual construetion of the building followed 14 months
of legal battles and three special town
meetings to select the site.
Work got under way in March of
1978 but was slowed by the discovery
of tons of debris during excavation. A
tedlOUS compactlon process was also
necessary to make the site suitable to
support the building
"We hoped to be in the building by
September," said Elfering, "but it's
about one month behind schedule."
The building site is at the corner of
Highway AH and 1(18th Avenue, directly behind the present fire station and
across the street from the present
town halL
In other items on Monday's agenda,
the board:
e Agreed to purchase a new town
truck.

• Voted to allow blacktoppmg of
Casper Rood.
• Asked for bids on walnut logs
owned by the town.
Jon Mason, town attorney, was instructed to prepare an advertisement
for bids for the purchase of a one-ton
truck for l!lle by town maintenance
men. It will replace an old pickup
truck "that Is rusted out and is on Its
third transmission."
Specifications for the new vehicle
include !our-wheel drive with a dump
box, salter and sander
The decision to blacktop Casper
Road at a cost of $7,767 came after a
determination by Mason that it truly is
a town road. It was earlier removed
from the list of roads scheduled for
repair when a question arose over
jurisdiction.
Gloria Bailey, town clerk, reported
sending 20 letters announcing the
town's intention to accept bids for
walnut logs. Only one bid has been

received, accordmg to Mrs. Bailey.
Elfering said a final decision will be
made on the logs at the Sept. 2
meeting with the highest bid accepted
In other action, the board tabled a
request from Patrick Wolf, who is
asking for the refund of a $1,000 sewer
fee and $210 paid for water service.
Wolf bought a lot in Oak Farms
Subdivision, paid tl1e fees and began to
build, but recent heavy rains have
flooded the property. Wolf seeks a
refund on the basis that his lot at 82nd
Street and 204th Avenue is "unbuildable." The request was tabled
unt!l the board meets with Wolf to
discuss the problem.
The board also:
-Approved a beer permit for the
Bristol Invitational Fastpitch Softball
Tournament Aug. 31 through Sept. 4.
-Approved a beer permit for
Kenosha Bowman for Sept. 9 and 10.
-Approved a request by George
Ferrel! for culverts at the entrance to

a new gas statwn west of I-94 on
Highway 50.
-Directed Mrs. Bailey to contact
the Wisconsin Towns Association cOncerning the procedure for handling
holding tank escrow sccounts.
-Heard a report by Elfering on a
letter from the Southeastern Wisconsin , Regional Planning Commission
com:erning a sewerage facility plan,
"They are proposing the possib!llty
of joining wastew.ater treatment for
Paddock Lake, Hooker and Montgomery lakes and tile town of Bristol,"
st.id Elfering. "They think it would be
e<-'onomically feasible to hook all
sewer plants together."
E!fering said, "I'm nut anxious to
get involved in a project of this type, If
io:; was cheaper and could save the
town some money, OK, but I doubt our
school system could keep up With the
grow til that would be caused by a huge
sewer system.'

Town Beard IJreezed through an agenda that [eatt>red Eugene Krueger delending f!re department purcha~e orders and Ruth Radtke quest10nmg
board judgement.
The meetmg was routine e:-:cept for
a confrontatwn between Mrs. Radt.k.e
and Noel Elfering, town chairman.
She ouestione<:i the board on where the
new town truck would be housed. (The
l:>oard agreed Aug. 28, to advertise for
b'1do on the purchase of a one·ton truck
for town maintenance).
Elfermg said he didn't know at this
11me whether or not it would fit in the
new municipal building which
prompted Radtke to ask if it was going
to be "drJven hack and forth to work
tty a !"""n employee as is the current
nrach~e. addu1g to town expense?"
· ··u "iC have room in the new garage,
we'H house it there," Elfering said.
Harlt.lt.e pointed out that there was
room at the old Beauti-Vue Building
leased by the town but that didn't
prevent the board from allowing the
employeJO to take the vehicle home
each day.
Elfering sa!d the town employee is
on 1:al! 24 hours :< day and having the
truck at his disposal quickened the
response time.
Dissatisfied with the answer, Mrs
Radtke went on to her second quest ;on "'Why is the town board procedwilb the purchase of a town truck

Most of the donors were consistent
repeats . .. like Al Beyers, who has donated
17 pints of blood. He figures that a2D-minute
in!!estment is worth it to Sar.Je a life.
Twenty minutes. That's all it takes.
To show how easy it is to give blcod, we
documented Bristol Fire Chief Gene Krueger's visit to the town hall to give blood.
When he arrived at 5 p.m., Krueger
rq;istered with personnel from the Milwaukee Blood Center. His blood pressure was
then tested (upper right). In addition, the
chief answered questions about his current
health status, insuring that no medical
problems exist.
The same nurse checks Krueger's pulse
and takes his temperature (lower left), and
then does a blood coagulation test by taking
a sample of blood from the chief's ear lobe
{lower right).
Si:;; minutes later, Krueger has finished
all the preliminaries.
He is instructed to liE down and relax. A
nurse preps his arm after testing to see
which arm has the best arteries for the
insertion of the needle.
"Once the needle prick is through, the
rest is easy," says Krueger (center}. For the
rwxt six minutes, the chief lies still and
opens ·and closes his hand as the blood fills
the plastic bag attached to his bed (upper
left). He chats with other donors near him
and with the photographer.
When he is finished, the chief rests for
f!"ve minutes and then recuperates with
orange juice and cookies at the refreshment
table.

March 12, the town board reviewed some of
the problems in the hall, especially faulty
electrical wiring.
Supervisor William Cusenza said the
electricity in the building was not balanced
properly. He said, "We paid for lights_to be
put up in front of the trucks in the fire
department and now that they don't work we
have to pay to take them down." Cusenza said
he questioned the design of the building by
Pence and &:hwa:rtz, architects. "This building is too new," said chairman Noel Elfering.
"We shouldn't have this many problems so
soon." In a related issue, Bane-Nelson, Inc.,
extended the water tightness of the roof on the
hall to five years instead of the normal one
year. In other action, the board approved a
temporary cleaning contract with Kenosha
Achievement Center for the new town halL
KAC will clean the building this month and a
final decision on the contract will he made
after the April election.
A $50 donation by Matt Kassnel to the
Bristol Reacue Squad generated debate.
Kassnel stopped payment on the check
because he said the check was not endorsed
the way it was drawn. First National Bank of
Kenosha, Bristol Branch, subsequently debited the town's account-- the wrong one. Town
treasurer Doris Magwitz said Kassnel wanted
the money to go to the squad. "To him that
means the men who took his late wife to the
hospital, not the town board." {Since June,
1977, donations to the squad have been placed
in a special account "for the squad's needs,'·
said Elfering.) He argued that the Bristol
Rescue Squad is the Town of Bristol. ''We foot
the bills for it,'' he continued. Town attorney
Jon Mason said, ''The bank had no business
taking that money back. If 1 were Doris I'd be
all over them for debiting the account.''

Elfering: State should help pay rescue
By ARLENE JENSEN

Staff Writer
BRISTOL - "We provide rescue
service on three major highways that
run through our township," Noel
Elfering, town chairman. said Saturday, "but the state is not willing to
share the cost."
Elfering said a large portmn of calls
answered by Bristol's rescue squad
are for accidents occurring on I-94 as
well as Wisconsin Highway 50 and U.S.
"45.
'"It's not fair that Bristol's residents
are footing the bill for rescue serViC(!s
for people from all over ti:Je country,"
said Elfering. "We don't expect to
make money on accidents, but we
should at least be able to get our costs
back."
Current figures on the cost answering a call for help were not available
at Saturday's meeting, but Elfering
said, "Three years ago it was costing
us $128 every time our rescue squad
answered a call. It's considerly higher
now."
Elfering announced help could be
available to townships in the form of
legislation. Two bills, Senate 98 and

about having someone there 24 hours a
day," he said.

caretaker's residence.
E!fering said the mobile home can
be used, but only in connection with
issuance of a building permit for
rebuilding the burned out home.
Rogers agreed that building a structure was the only solution and said he
will apply for a building permit as
soon as plaru~ are ready.
"I should have it straightend out by

William Scott, of Scott Realty,
Salem, asked the board what type of
industry is allowed in Bristol's industrial park.
"I have some clients that might be

Elfering said "We don't want industry that causes a lot of pollution.
We have turned down factories on that
basis."
He estimated that vacant land in the
park totals about 4(1 acres.

I,

A Sheriff's Depai-tment investigation into the death of Mrs. Jerome
(Sharon) Stephenson, 34, of BristoL
continues this week. Polygraph tests
will be given today and Wednesday to
two persons believed to have associated with the woman during the
time when a pathologist's report said
the woman received an injury which is
believed to have caused her death,
according to Capt. Roger Zeihl'n
A third person was tested last week.
Zeihen said there are no suspects in
the matter

Mrs. Stephenson died at Kenosha
Memorial Hospit;~l at lt:47 p.m. Sat"
urday, March 3, shortly after being
brought there by the Bristol Rescue
Squad.
Last week Coroner Thomas J. Dorff
ordered the department to 'investigate, after Dorff received an
autopsy report showing Mrs. Stephenson died of hemorrhaging from a
lacerated liver, probably caused by a
blow.
Zeihen said today that further tests
indicated the injury appears to have
occurred between five hours ;~nd eight
hours before her death. He said de-

She noted that although
farmers, who are not salaried, will
not receive money from the

"'I wish we"d bad this six months
ago," said Elfering. "There is only
one week until election, and that's not
enough time to take any action. I'm
sure the new board wiil want to
consider these recommendations."
Also on Monday's agenda was a
letter from Bristol resident Horace
~"ow!er concerning bills submitted by
town officials who attended a Wisconsin Towns Association convention.
Fowler said, "The bottom line cost
to the town was as follows; Gloria
Bailey. clerk, $ll!l; Doris Magwitz,
treasurer, $131; Elfering, $13&;
Horton, $144, and Cusenza, $201.
Fowler asked why Cusenz.a's bill
was higher. He admitted the variation
might be considered trivial.
"l ask you, is it any more triVial
than the coverage the Kenosha News
gave the County Board a year ago,
only to strut their feathers on last
Friday's front page on the results of
their coverage?" asked Fowler.
Cusenza listed his expenditures at
the convention and said his higher
costs could be explained by meals
outside the convention center, which
also resulted in additional mileage.
In other action, the town board:
~Issued an amusement permit to
the Bristol Prog~ess Days committee
-Approved attendartce of Paul
Bloyer at a Lake District com·
missioners' convention March 29 and
30 in Stevens Point.
-Approved use O[ the old town hall

-Accepted the resignation of

-Heard a report from Cusenza on a

~Agreed to hire Clarence Clausen

heighte':tJ3ristoi eiection interest
BRISTOL ~ For several years,
controversy has swirled through hls

community.
For more years, the town's volunteer fire department, in addition to
heing a well-trained, protective force,
was the most cohesive political organization in Bristol.
More recently another !action, the
present toWn board, gained power and
bas moved to curb some of the influence of the firefighters' association. Resulting tension on occasions
bas erupted into actively warring po!itlcal camps.
The struggle between these two
factions continues in the racl! for town
cha1rman which pits mcumbent Noel
Elfering against former supervisor
Chester Boyington.
Elfering was elected town chairman
in 1975 and re-el~ted t~o years ~go.
He served as a Bristol SJde supervisor
before being d~feated for four y~ars
prior to assummg the charrmansltip.
Boyingto~ served four Y.ears as town
side superv1sor before bemg defeated
ln 1977.

This election also tlas side supervisor incumbents Wilham Cusenu
and Russell Horton challenged, respectively. by Ed Gillmore and John
W. Booth.
Doris Magqitz, Bristol treasurer,
faces a challenge from Judy Hartman.
Five candidates are in the running
for three constable pl.).'lts. They are
Robert W. Bohn, Paul Bloyer and
Bernard Gunty, al\ incumbents, and
Harry Glasman and Robert J_ Hall.
BOYINGTON AND ELFERING
were asked by the Kenosha News what
they would do as town chairman to try
to end the fighting that has split the
community.
Boyington said, "'People will fight
and not too much has been done to stop
it. One idea I have - and I hope it
works - is to appoint a committee of
people, by ttle people and for the
people."
said Elfering', ''I wHJ consider join~
ing the fire department. It seems that
many of thl! problems are linked to the
dl!partment. If I join, I- may be in a
better position to see what is wrong.··
Elfering said he cuuld do a lot of
praying for the town: "l believe only
God can bring it back together."
Both candidates were asked in
which areas they thought the Kenosha
County Board could be more effective
in providing greater assistance and in
which artas should the local municipaUties be left alone.
BOYINGTON- "I don't believe the
townships are looking for any more
assistance. We have the sheriff's department, which ml8ht be expanded
for greater protection. The County
Board already assists us with our
roads when we need it. We should
continue with county zoning, but I feel
the administration should be done on
the local leveL
"At this time, I feel the county does
a pretty good job of leaving us alone.''
EL.FERING- "We need assistance
in. drug control and crime control,
e~~pecially arson and vandalism. In onr
township this has caused much concern.
"In most areas, the County Board
should leave us alone or they will just
get It messed up as it bas with. the
county assessor's office and cost all of
us more in taxes."
BO\'INGTON, 58, is an appraiser
for Kenosh.a County. For 31 years, he
was employed as a welder by Dynmatic Division, Eaton Corp., in
Kl!nosha. He has been a resident of the
community for 54 years.
He is a graduate of Wllmot High
School and has taken numerous short
courses for real estate appraisal. He
served as town assessor for eight
yl!ars and was a dell!gate to the 1979

To the Poop!e Df Bristol:

} ,di· }')

Wednesday, Feh 21, WestosbaRepwt.
The 'Bristol Town Board would like very much
for the people of Bristol to believe that there are
no major problems. But there are problems, and
I would like to share a few with you.
I was a member of the Bristol Progress Days
Board for eight years. The present Board has said
that Progress Days does absolutely nothing for
the town and that it is a waste of money. For the
past four years they have been waiting fo.r the
perfect excuse to stop Progress Days.

$100,000 insurance claim. An injury of this nature
could have heen sustained on any town property.
The l.own carries a large insurance policy covering J:lUCh claims.
2. The town board says they received munerOUI:I complaints regarding the dispensing of
alcoholic beverages and the conduct of people
under the influence, The Association had hired
awdliary police to assist them in controlling this
situation. Our township constables were there.
The Association has no .eontrol over people who
comto to the park under the influence or those who
bring in their own liquor.
3. ThP town board would like you to think
that the communications between them and the
fire department are great. If this is so, the town

Why has the sincerity gone out of our town
government? Could it be that our present town
board has never been sincere about anything?
When we voted to bm1d the new fire station/town
luLU complex, Mr. Efering got up and stated, ''If
this is what the people want, this is what the
people will get." Then he proceeded to drag his
feet. Delays since the original bids were let out in
1977 resulted in an increased cost of 567,891.
This extra cost at 4.7 per cent interest amounts to
53,190 a year. To thltlk foUl" years ago we could
have gotten this complex for 5250,000 makes me
think this is a terrible waste of money. Is this a
tlghtening of the belt? Here are just a few
examples of how our town board is tightening the
belt.
L S450 spent on cakes for the dedication of
the fire station/town hall complex. Formerly, the
wives of the town board and the planning board
would donate cakes for special oct:asions.
2. In 1977 they spent 564,416 011 roads, In
1978 they spent 5128,001 on roads.
3. A new truck was bought at 512,280.

This is in answer to Bristol Town Board
Supervisor William Cusenza's statement in the

To the Voters of Bristol:

1To the Edirur:
To those who vote belongs the ~wnor
'of bemg sincere in their effort to
mstal! the best ofiJCia!s possible for
the coming terms, be they local or
county, state or federal, regardless of
our likes and dislikes. Wt! should be
impersonal m the selection of whom
shall admimster a!l our law> in a fair
and equitable way
This person should be of high moral
1character With no obligation to any·
:one, so their judgment w1!l not be
!blinded.
1' They must be able to handle this
posJtJOn capably and take crlhcJsm be
:it constructive or adverse
This same credo should upply to all
newspapers, radios and telo:vJslon sta. tions, reporters, and m p,nticu~ar editors, editorial wr!ter~ nc.d }'\ibli•h('fS,
for they have the means and are moF,t
mfluential in swaying people in this

More and more these mediums are
used to sell candidates to the ele<:·

h' -::)'

b. Donahons are put in a savings account
which no one can touch unless both partie~
agree.
c. Last year the fire department was
budgeted $35,000, of which they spent over
Sl8,000. This year their budget was cut to
$25,000. With the cost of things going up
constantly, this is not right. ltisfor the safety
of this whole town that the fire department
have the proper equipment.
d. The town board has demanded that the
fire department get approval of all purchases
no matter how minor and have ignored severa! requests even though they were within
their budget. The department is made up of
the very finest people, people who have a
compassion for their fellow man and his
plight in time of emergency, and they should
not be treated in this degrading manner.
Why have we lost our freedom of speech? The
most outrageous act in the last two years is the
Gag Rule. Now you must give 24-hour notice of
your topic to be placed on the agenda of a town
board meeting.
Why do we have to put up with invasion of
privacy? It was admitted in court that nt the
special meeting on Sept. 17 the ballots were
numbered. offering the opportunity to check how
th~e people voted. To me thL> i~ an invasion of

4. Why is it that out of all the people who
attended the Towns Convention in Oconomowoc,
four of the bills presented to the town average out
to SIOO and Mr. William Cusenza's bill to the

5. Why hasn't the heat and water been shut

ThiE> JS in answer to Bristol Town Board
Supervisor Wi!lilllll Cusenza's statement in the
Wednesday, Feb. 21, WestOBha Repw:t.
The Bristol Town Board would like very much

for the people of Bristol to believe that lhere llrl.l
no maJOr problems. But there are problems, and
I would like to share a few with you.
I was a member of the Bristol Progress Days

Board for eight years. The present Board has said
that Progress Days does absolutely nothing for
the town and that it is a waste of money. l''or the
past four years they have been waiting for the
perfect excuse to stop Progress Days.
1. They are making a big is8Ue out of s
$100,000 insurant<' cluim. An injury of this nature
wuld have been sustained on any town property,
The town ran-ier. a large irt!!\J.I1.'lnc<> policy covel'ing such daims.
2. The town boru-d says they received numerous complaints regarding the dispensing of
alcoholic beverages I!Jld the conduct of people
under the influence. The Association had hired
auxiliary police to assist them in controlling this
!ilituation. Our township constables were there.
The AsBO<;iation has no control over ~ple who
come to the park under the influEn('.R or those who
bring in their own liquor.
3. The town board wwld like you to think
that the wmmunications between them and the
fire department are great. lf thw 111 oo, the WW11
board would know that the fireworks display
comes out of beer stand money.
'
4. As to the open house: Donald Wienke,

i llfi!lista.nt i:hief, requested a delay of the date !Wt

>because of the Rhort notiee. The deparlment
i needed time to get matorials--tegether to conduct
an educs.tiooat progmm W better aequamt the
public with what the department means W the
i community. His request was ignored.
To sum this whole matter up, I feel that
Progress Days is the best thing that has ever
happent!d to BrisWI. It is a time where all the
peOple join together, work Wgether and have a
good time together. Our present town board
ea~not stand unity or cooperation in any shape or
form and that is the reason they would like W see
Progress Days sWpped_

HaVing personally served as an election board member
several years ago, perhaps it should be brought to the
public's attention, the election bQard chairman orients the
members concerning their various responsibilities; and all
undertake an oath of hon€1!ty. If an eJection board is instruded to number ballots, it is their responsibility to be
knowledgeable of the taw that tampering of ballots is illegal,
and any person who does so is totally responsible for his or
her breach of oath.
AMONG THE Bristol School Board candidates, Terry
faquinta, in my opinion, proved genuine interest in the school
district and the education of the districts' students. She
stated, during the past year she has regularly atterxled
school board meetings, rs an active member of the Bristol
PTA servmg as publicity chairman, also served as publicity
chairman for the past December dt>dicalion of the new ad"
dition to the school and is a third grade room mother. She is
chairman of the dental health committee of the Kenosha Den"

Bristol's school children each year
In answer to a question concermng the possibility of a full

Bristol backs tax relief measure
-Y'-..), ::> .:/

proposed legislation.
Cosenza sa1d the measure asks for
"relief of all or part of the tax
imposed for school purposes on the
property of senior citizens."
Members of the Bristol board presented a resolution to the Kenosha
County unit of the Wisconsin Towns
Association (WTA) last summer askmg for legislation to "relieve citizens
over the age of 05 from payment of
school tax on their homestead."

By ARLENE JENSEN

Staff Writer
BRISTOL - A taK relief measure
thai bad its beginnings in Bristol is
currently being studied by Wisconsm's
Jomt Finance Committee.
Supervisor William Cusenza reported at Saturday's Town Board
meetmg that he and Nod Elfering,
town chairman, and SupN·visor RusseU Horton addressed the committee
in Madison Thursday to support the

Booth-Horton recount set
":<

,;

BRISTOL - A recount is to
begin at 9 n.m. Saturday in the
town hall to confirm the winner in
the race for seco11d supervisor
John Booth, who apparently lost
to incumbent Russell Horton by 28
votez {599 to 571). petitioned tl:e
!own derk for th(' rf'count
Noel Elfering. town chaH'm'ln.
four yean: ago was dedared the
lo~(·r 1o incurnb('ilt f~ad Hollister

,· ~"/

by 14 votes, but in a recount
Elfering won by an eight vote
margin.
Booth, 42, a Wisconsin State
Patrol inspector, served on the
Bristol School Board before seeking the office of supervisor. His
opponent Horton, 71, secretary
and ag'i'nt for lhe Kenosha County
Mutw~l Insurance Co .. served 12
years on tne Town Board.

After passage by the local associa"
two, the resolu.Uon was taken to the
floor of the state convention of the
WTA in October. After approval by the
state body, M1chael Latto, WTA lobbyist, was assigned to take the proposal to \egislat;ve representatives.
"It's being studied by committee
now,"' said Cusenza, ''and we're
hopeful that some good legislation will
be the result. II we don't get 1t passed
this year, we'!! be back next year to
try again," he said.
Cusenza also reported that the
board met with state Sen. John
Maurer and received a summary of
tax reforms already passed.
A significant change, according to
Cusenza, is mcreased homestead prop·
erty tax credit raised from $9,300 to
$14,000. He cited other changes in tax
l~ws such as one-tlme refunds that
will be ·'good for a lot of our citizens."
Copies of the Tax Reform and Reductlon Program are available for
study at tb.e town hall.

Tile false stat.emen~~ were flled

Shaufler remains free on a $5,000

maJ<imum penalty of 16 years ln prison
and a $40,000 fine
Gregory Gramling, Shaufler's defense attorney, had no comment today

The defense admitted the debts ex·

Shaufler had accounted for them in

Two of the six original counts were
dropped because of the statute of
limitations, the other four were dismissed because the government could
n(.;t prove beyond a reasonable doubt
that Shaufler could be held criminally
responsible for filing false financial
information. Those dismissed charges
involved the First National Bank of

Attorney D. Dwayne Shaufler's con·
viction on eight counts of filing false
financial statements to obtain loans
from banks will be a topic of concern
for town and school hoards in Kenosha
County in the next few weeks, officials
said today.
Shaufler was found guilty before
federal Judge John W. Reynolds Friday on the eight counts. He did not
correctly list his financial liabilities
while obtaining loans from banks in
W1sconsin, Illinois and Iowa in 1973
and 1974, Reynolds ruled.
Shaufler is a partner in the Kenosha
law firm of Shaufler, Rothrock and
Kendall, which handles legal matters
for Somers, Salem, Silver Lake, Paddock Lake, Central High School, Paris
Town Board and Paris School Board.
The law firm was not implicated nor
were either of the other partners in
the court case
"If we feel there is sufficient
grounds to drop the law firm, we will
do it," Richard Hartnell, president of
the Central High School Board, said,
"but to be fair, there are a lot of things
to consider. We're talking about one
person here, not the whole finn, althntlP"h what thF onP nPrson did re.

"We bav€ no plans W not stay with

job. I wouldn't want to make any rash
decision without conm.t!Ung the board

president, echoed Gehrke's feelings

it will probably be brought up at the
board's reorganizational meeting
April17."
"It's been discu~-Sed before, and it'll
be discussed again, I'm sure," August
Zirbel, Paris town chairman, said,
"Our annual meeting is Tuedsday
night, and it will be brought up, I
know. Cecil Rothrock (Shaufler' s
partner) will be there, too.
"I don't want to venture an opinion
myself, but Rothrock handles all our
business and I certainly don't have any
problems with him," Zirbel said.
All of the town and school board
officials questioned saw no reason to
terminate business with the firm

The false stat.ements were filed

banks to obtain loans totaling almost
$1 million. Six of the orlgina114 counts
against Shaufler were dropped By
Reynolds in a hearing in March.
Shaufler remains free on a $5Jl00
rerognizance bond pending the sched·
,enlencing date. He faces a

$14,000. He cited other changes in tax
laws such as one--time refunds that
will be "good for a lot of our Citl~ens."

Elfering won by an eigl!t vote

Booth, 4.2, a Wisconsin State
Patrol inspector, served on the

Bristol mull~})olding tank requesrs
By ARLENE JENSEN
Staff Writer
BRISTOL-- "How long can we keep

Req 4_(:Wed

With newly elect e.? Super·
visor Ed Gillmore recommending town board involvement in the final hiring
and firing decisions of the

fire and rescue squad per·
sonnel, the Bristol Town
Board heard Fire Chief Gene

Krueger's request for more
daytime volunteers for both
departments.
Chairman Noel Elfering
and Supervisor Russell Horton agreed that Krueger and
his officers should handle
routine matters but that the
board should enter into final
decisions in problem areas.

Krueger also requested
and received authority for

equipment replacement and
repair, although his request
for paging units was tabled
for budget investigation.

tanK~?'"

Noel Elfering, town chairman, asked
his board Monday.
Elfering said three new request2
had been received in one week.
Supervisor Russell Horton asked if
the board considered outlawing hoid·
ing tanks, but the idea was quickly
mxed by Jon Mason, town attorney
"An ordinance of that sort would be
seen as deprivation of prop<"rty
without due process," said Mason,
"and it would not hold up."
Mason said holding tanks have the
approval of the Department of Natural Resources, "and you can't fin4 a
narrower-minded group of people on
those kinds of iSsues."
Horton said most requests for holding tanks are received from property
owneu seeking to build in Cherry
Vista Subdivision.
"By the time Cherry Vist<l gets
built up, 75 to 80 percent of them '
be on holding tanks," said Horton,
"and the state will come along and tell
us we have to install sewers."
"It's the cost of pumping that both·
ers me," said Elfering. "Some fam!"
lies pay $35 a week to have those tanks
pumped."

"I've talked to the engineers on the
project." said Elfering, "and I don't
think the people on the Bristol side
will get sewers. but we want to talk to
Salem officials about it "
He said joint jurisdiction of the lake
makes it necessary for Bristol to
consider a -water patrol ordinance.
Salem already has ~n ordinance, and
Bristol could adopt a companion
me-asure.
The hoard signed a 9G-day listing
contract with Jerry Daniels, Realtor,
for the sale of the old town hall.
Elfering said the building has been
appraised at $43,900.
An ad for the sale and removal of
the old fire station has brought no
re5ults, according to Gloria Bailey,
clerk. The ad wm be continued.

Health clinic plan
for county aired
By DIANA DeHAVEN

Staff Writer
PADDOCK LAKE~ Representatives from St. Catherine's HO!lpital urged western Kenosha County
residents Saturday to back a pro-posal by the Medical College of
Wisconsin, Milwaukee, to establish a health clinic in the area.
"The whole state knows that
Kenosha County bas only half the
needed number of primary care
physicians," Dr. Harold Wagner,
pathologist at St. Catherine's Hospital, said.
"The age and distribution of
people in Kenosha County is such
that in another 10 years we'll need
60 more primary care doctors. The
ratio of primary care physicians to
population is now only one to 3,201.
This compares to the ideal of one
to every 1,500 persons."
Wagner said the medical college
approached St. Catherine's Hospital several _years ago with the
plan, but it was not pursued because there were not enough doctors to handle the training which
would be a part of the program.
"Now, however, in the past 16
months about 20 new doctors have
come to the area, and many have
expressed an interest in teaching
in the program," Wagner said.
Wagner was appointed by the
hospital administration to handle
the local aspects of the program.
"It's rather simple," Wanger
said. "It is a three-year residency
program for 12 doctors. It will
require an in-hospital training pro-gram using local doctors as teachers at both {St. Catherine's and
Kenosha Memorial) hospitals,
"The outpatient clinic will be

staffed by the residents under th.:;
supervision of personnel from t.lw
college. The clinic will not be
accountable to the hospitals will be run uuder the auspices
the college. Kenosha County Y
not have to invest a dime in the
establishment of the clinic "
Wagner said establishing a
clinic away from a hospital is a bit
unconventional, "but there are
35,000 people out here and not
nearly enough doctors. It's natural
to suggest a training program out
here."
He said any equipment or medicine will be provided by the col·
lege. However, it will not be a free
clinic, and fees will go toward the
upkeep of the clinic.
"There are short-term ar~d
term benefits for us," he said
is generally agreed the best re·
cruitment method for new doctors
is based on the fact that residents
trained in an area tend t.o stay on
in that area. The figures are some·
where around 60 percent."
TARGET OATE TO BEGIN the
program is July 1, 1981.
"We have a long way to go and
it's going to take us two years to
get it off the ground," he said
"'The program wil! start with
eight doctors,. lour first-year and
four second-year residents. The
second year another four students
will be brought in, so there will
always be 12, except for the first
year, on a rotating basis. They w1H

The $2:Z million sewer project
planned by Salem could be extended to
00 homes on the eastern perimeters of
Lake Shangri-la, according to Howard
Gehrke, Salem town chairman.
Gehrke said estimated charges for
Bristol residents would include a special assessment of $2,000 to $2,500,
payable over lll years. other costs
would include a hook-up charge estimated at $550 based on the average
diStance from house to street. That
figure could vary depending on the
setback from the street.
A 2% m11I rate will also be assessed
agaUL'lt every parcel in the district.
Gehrke said the mill rate would translate to an addition of $101.2\i in tax.es

By ARLENE JENSEN
Staff Writer
BRISTOL- A 20&-foot test well will
be drilled near Bristol's present municipal well to find out if there really
is enough water down there to provide
a second source of supply.
Members of Utility District 1 were
told Monday by Hubert Jensen, of
Jensen and Johnson, Elkhorn, that it is
possible to drill a new well near the
existing one since they will draw
water from separate sources
Jensen said Bristol's existing well
constructed in 1967 is 1,155 feet deep
and derives its supply from sandstone
formations. He said a shallow well
terminating at 200 feet would penetrate sand and gravel formations in
the glacial drift.

''Smce the census will be conducted

Said town attorney Jon Mason, "Th
town can't get involved in a priorit

Mason suggested that if the censu
shows an increase in population and a
increase in license quota, "license
must be dealt with on a first-com1

Carol Nichols, of Bristol, asked th

is enough water down there to provide
a second source of supply.
Members of Utility Dfstrict 1 were
told Monday by Hubert Jensen, of
Jensen and Johnson, Elkhorn. that it ;s
possible to drill a new well near the
existing one since they will draw
water from separate sources
Jensen said Bristol's exi
constructed in 1967 is 1,1S5
and derives its supply from sandstone
formations. He said a shallow weE
terminating at 200 feet would peiW·
trate sand and gravel formations m
the glacial drift.

THIS SQUAD is also the
only one in the county that is
paid at therateof$3 per call
Having moved into their

new quarters next to the new
Bristol Town Hall, a few
months ago, the squad
presently boasts of 12 members, eight of them EMTs.
In 1978, 263 calls were

made, some of them routine,
many senous emergenc1es,
yet the members of the
squad still refer to the accident at 194, north of V, in-

volving an autocarricr, a
beer truck and three cars, in
which four people were
killed, as the worst accident
on their books.

IN A TIE for the most
unusual call are the female
parachutist whose chute
tangled in a tree 35 feet from
the ground and the call involving hot air balloonists
whose balloon deflated and
spread over the top of a tree
like a sheet, hanging them
mid·air.

Dunn, "and w1th the gas shortage, I
think it- would make more sense to
bring the in~tructors here."

Supervisor Russell Horton said he
was interested in her plan but said,
"Ho11 do we Know the community
I"Ould participate?''
Dunn promised to poll members of
the community and return at a later
meeting with the information.
"l KnoW at least 12 families that

she said
Robert Flli!er, a representative of
the First Nal!onal Bank of Milwaukee,
asked the town board to consider
backing the issuance of industrial revenue bonds by the Quality Egg Farm,
Highways~ and MB
THE SALE OF BONOS in the
amount of $600,()00 would provide
Quality with the capital the firm needs
to combat an odor problem, said
Fuller. The town could not be held
responsible in the event of default by
Quality, he said
"The federal legislation allows any
municipality to lend its financial rating to a private coqXlration for a
project that is construed to be in the
public interest." said Fuller.
He said Bristol's financial rating
would help Chris Aralis, owner of the
Egg Farm, to obtain funds at a lower
mkrest rate
William Cosenza, former super·
visor, asked Fuller, "What's in it for
the town?"
F'ul!er said. ''The town would get rid
of the stink. and Aralis would have the.
Department of Nalural Resources off
his back."
After lengthy discussion, the matter

was tabled. Jon Mason, town attorney,
was directed to investigate the bond
!SSUe.
An B p.m. public hearing o_n tavern~
Hcense applications resulted m approval for seven combination Class B
fermented malt beverage and intoxicating liquor licenses_ Renewals were
approved for Brat Stop, Inc.; Bristol
House, Bristol Oaks Country Club,
Howard Johnwns, Lake Shangrila
Parlors, The Spa, and Lake George
Tavern and Cheese Market.
Two applications for combination
licenses were denied because of quota
restrictions, the rule that allows
licenses on the basis of population.
Denial was voted for the Beverage
Stop and the NighUall Lounge.
A combination ClasB A !Jceru;e was
approved for Benson Corners Grocefy
and Liquor, and Class B beef licenses
were approved for the Nightfall
Lounge and Lil. and Ed's Corner Cafe
A second _application hy the
Beverage Stop, this time for a beer
license, was tabled and referred to the
town planning commission
Jerry Rasmussen, a representative
of the Brat Stop, 12304_75th St., said he
plans to open a second establishment,
The Beverage Stop, across the street
in a building that currently houses
Pleasant Prairie Motors.
The impact of another restaurant at
the intersection of I-94 and Highway 50
as well as parking in the area will be
studied by the planning commission at
its Monday, June 4, meeting at 7:30

Bill makes joiiit museum
possible, tqr city, county
By BARBARA HENKEL
Staff Writer
Steve Schwartz, dlrectcr of the
city's public museum, reads !1!~ memos. And becau~~e he does, hh rnure\im
wu!d he a city-county operation romeMy.
Sdtwart% credited a lot of the
fnl!cw-through work oo hls rllscovery
to State !Wp. Joseph Andrea, I)..
Kenosha.
In 11 recent legislative bulletin
&hwartt: spotted a pf'OPOO€d bill
wMcb would allow all coonties to
sequin and operate a city m\J!rellm.
,i;rneng other thln(a, the blU would
allow counties with a !XJp\lldl.on of
lW,{JI!'KI' or more to contribute fonds to

the operation of a city-owned
museum.
Schwartz learned the legialation
waa proposed by Green Bay area
representatives so the public museum
there rould be operated joinUy by the
county and city.
The 150,000 population figure "Is
fine for Brown County (where Green
Bay is located), but Kenosha County
has only 121,000 people," said
S.::hwarb:.
Both Schwartz and Andrea sald that
they are not 311ftt~~tlng a consolida·
tion of museums. But, Schwartz
sald,be felt thata&lonJ as the law was
being changed, a few more changes

Said Andrea, "This sort of legislation brings together the county and
city to do joint projects if they wane'
Andrea asked one of the sponsors of
the bill to drop the HiO,OOO populatiOJI
minimum, so Kenosha County and
othel'll would be Included.
The amended bill last week passed
both the Assembly and the Senate and
is awaiting the governor's signature.
Said Schwart%, "As a private citizen I
got a real good response on a small
matter, but one that could affect the
future operation of the museum. I
don't think the county is ready to think
about such matters. But It opens the
door to any county to put public
services on a mueb broader tax base."
Over the past several IIWllths An·
drea has been working with David
Ludwig, an attorney for the Legisla·
tive Referf!llce Bureau, to draft legislation to aUow COIISQlidatlon of some
other city and county services, such as
parks. After Ludwig researched the
matter, he found that legislation
wasn't necessary, that several laW!il
already exist.
"Many public officials have been
under the impression that the statlltes
would have to be changed In order to
aUow park COIISQiidation," tald Aftdrea.

Dunn, "and with the gas shortage, 1

Supervisor Russel! Horton said he
was interested in her plan but said,
''How do we know the community
would participate?"
Dunn promised to poll members of
the community and return at a later
meeting with the information.
"I knoW at least 12 families that

she said.
Robert Fuller, a representative of
the First National Bank of Milwaukee,
asked the town board to consider
backmg the issuance of industnal revenue bonds by the Quality Egg Farm,
Highways 50 and MB.
THE SALE OF BONDS in the
amount of $600,000 would provide
Quality with the capital the firm needs
to combat an odor problem, said
Fuller. The town could not he held
responsible in the event of default by
Quality, he said.
"The federal legislation allows any
mtmicipality to lend its financial rating to a private corporation for a

public interest," said Fuller.

He said Bristol's financial ratmg
would help Chris Aralis, owner of the
Egg Farm, to obtain funds at a lower
mterest rate.
William Cosenza, former super·
visor, asked Fuller, "What's in it for
the town?"
Fuller said, ''The town would get rid

BRISTOL - "I can name 20 deve!Gpers that want to build ln the town
of Bristol, some as mnny as 200
homes," Noel Elfering, town chair·
man, said Monday.
"How can we absorb this Into a
small community?"
Elfering's remarks were directed at
Richard Berg, Lake Forest, Ill., who
appeared before the town planning
commission with plans to develop a
subdivision on Highway 50, just east of
Highway MB, on pr~erty fonnerly
known as the Rice farm.

~~lfering said he feared for the
future or Bristol's schools as we!! as
the impact sudden growth would have
on town services such as road main·
tenance.
Berg said, "We're not talking about.
a drastic influx I){ people. We're only
planning 15 to 16 homes."
Berg said 120 acres would be divided
into 5.1-acre parcels. One customer
has reserved a ao-acre parcel, he said
Berg and his associates, Anthony
Enderle, asked the planning board to
recommend town acceptance of roads
in the subdivision "with the understanding we would mamtain them

ourselves for til.e hrsi five years,"
Eugene Adamski. town planner,
asked Berg about sewage disposal
systems planned for the homes. Berg
said tbe land is not suitable for septic
systems, and holding tanks will not be
a !lowed.
"We are hoping to qualify for
m()und systems when the state allows
them," he said.
Planning board members discussed
Berg's plan but took no action. It is
scheduled to be rehashed at the July 2
meeting of the group.
Meanwhile, Elfering promised com·
pletion of a subdivision control or·

HANS EX P LA l NED
THAT the big difference in

his father's 200 acre farm in
Holmstad, Norway and the
Pringle's 216 acre Bristol
spread is that in Norway, the
government is the only
buyer of farm products, ineluding both crops, milk and
meat. That and the fact that
his father, Ole, grows wheat,
barley and oats, while
Pringle runs a dairy farm
and raises his own feed,
mostly corn, seem to he the
biggest change for Hans.
Oh yes, he also finds it

said.
"My great grandfather
bought the land in 1905 as a
place to go in the summer,"
he explained, "But, in 1940
when the Germans came,
my family moved back there
to farm the land."
His home he said, is on the

Those who sign up are not obligated

which are not sufficiently filled will be

Purpose of the sign-up is to det-:nnine whether there is interest in

Staff Writer
BR!STOL - The town board voted
Monday to turn down a request by
Quality Egg Farm for town backing of
mduslrial revenue bonds.
The Quality farm, Highways 50 and
\-rB, owned by Chris Aralis, had asked
the hoard to consider backing the
i8suance of $000,000 in bonds. The
money would be used to combat an
odor problem that has resulted in
court action against the firm by the
neoattment of Natural Resources.

m~d\' tne rPq_m·sl (!h bd1aU of Arahs
and assured the board, "there will be
no liability for BristoL" and hacking
of the bonds would not affect the
town's ind~.btedneBs.
Fuller said Bristol's financial rating
could help Aralis obtain money at a
lower inlereot rate
Noel P.:lfering, town chairman, and
supervisors Russeli Horton and EdWMd Gillmore an said public opinion
was aga\nst Uw plal\, and Jon Mason,
town attorney, agreed.
"The atmosphere in Bristol does not
support backing for bonds," Maso!l
said .
"This is a hot issue," said Elfcring,
"and there's no way the people would
go along with this."
Elfering and Horton took issue with
"the experimental nature of AraUs'
plan."
Both said they visited a chicken
farm in Indiana that has successfully

dealt w1th the odor problem by keeping the manure dry.
.
"I know it works. I've seen 1t,"
Elfering said, "and it wouldn't cost
$600,000 to accompllsh it."
Also on the agenda was a report by
Wilma Dunn, Bristol, who said she
received "an excellent response" to
her plan for providing summer activities for children. Dunn said 70
youngstcrs signed up for the program.
Spring and fall programs were also
met with interest, said Dunn. She

Also on the agenda was a report by

Industrial revenue bonds.
The Quality farm, Highways 50 and
MB, owned by Chris Aralis, had asked
the board to consider backing the
issuance of ~&00,000 in bonds. The
money would be used to combat an
odor problem that has resulted in
court action against the firm by the
Department of Natural Resources.
Robert Fuller, a representative of
the First National Bank of Milwaukee,
made the request on behalf of Aralis
and assured the board, "there will be
no liability for Bristol," and backing
of the bonds would not affect the
town's indebtedness.
Fuller said Bristol's financial rating
could help Aralis obtain money at a
lower interest rate
Noel Elfering, town chairman, and
supervisors Russell Horton and Ed·
ward Gillmore all said public opinion
was against the plan, and Jon Mason,
town attorney, agreed.
"The atmosphere in Bristol does not
support backing for bonds," Mason
said .
"This is a hot issue.'" said Elfering,
·•and there's no way the people would
go along with this."
El!ering and Horton took issue with
"the experimental nature of Aralis'
plan."
Both said they visited a chicken
farm in Indiana that has successfully

Wilma Dunn, Bristol, who said she

received "an excellent response" to
her plan for providing swnmer activities for children. Dunn said 70
youngsters signed up for the program.
Spring and fall programs were also
met with interest, said Dunn. She
reported 164 persons for the spring
program that would offer disco dancing, acrobatics, baton, tap and ballet
dancing lessons. The fall offering of
karate lessons attracted a total of 91
persons.
Dunn was authorized by the board to
proceed with the program and make
definite commitments with teachers.
She promised to return to the next
board m~ting with project costs and
a schedule of activities.
Elfering reported a public auction
on Sunday resulted in the sale of
equipment from the old fire station.
"We made $407 on the auction," he
said, "and got rid of everything but
the building."

"Maybe the only remedy is to order
the egg ranch to close down permanently," Circuit Judge Michael
Fisher said Thursday.
The judge's comment came during
yet another hearing in the matter of
the state of WisCQnsin vs. the Quality
Egg Farm, Bristol.
Before making that decision, however, the judge indicated he wanted to
go over the reports of a court-appointed "referee" and affidavits by
persons living near the egg farm.
In March, Judge Fisher gave the
$L2 million agri-business on Highway
50 in Bristol nine months "to eliminate
an objectionable odors." The "referee" was appointed to monitor the

"If the town of Bristol cannot see

going to at least one fulltime police·
rr:an in the near future,"' he said, '·I
hope it will see fit to cover its elected
constables With tbe protection that is
needed, and in many instances, llie
firemen receive automatically."

"I'm not happy to accept this resignation,'" said Noel Elfering, town
chainnan. He applauded Gunty's ability to keep the peace.

He recommended pre·paid school in
law enforcement and legal pro·
cedures; insurance protection for in·
junes on the job; car insurance for use
of personal vehicles; revised and updated ordinances and a radio system
for the vehicles of constables.

In his resignation letter, Gunty
made Sl:l suggestion for consideration

In other action the board voted two

was recommended to the board by
members of the platlning body.

Edward Gillmore, who defeated
Cusenza m the April election, opposed

Bristol children, with sign-up set for
June 30, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the town

Mrs. Dunn's request lor $250
She explained that the money is
needed for the purchase of materials
for the program that is expected to
attract about SO youngsters.
"Rather than sit through any more
discussion on the cost, I will person·
any donate $150 to the program," Jon
Mason, town attorney, said. "And the
town can pick up the rest."
Elfering said the charge of $1 per
child would further defray the town's
cost, and promised, "if there are any
kids who can't afford the $1, I will pay
it for them."
An observer calculated that with
Mason's donations and an estimated

$80 in iees collected from 80

At the Monday meeting the board
directed Mason to contact Harry

Elfering said complaints by
Glassman's neighbors have been re·

EDITOR'S NOTE- The following article was
itten by Carol Merkt-Wilks of Merkt Cheese

mpany, Inc., BristoL
"l thought you might find it newsworthy that
mall business from Bristol was represented at

· National Federation of Independent Business
nference in Washington, D. C.," she said. We
lcint her account of the conference.
{Washington, D. C.) -- America's future is
all business.
That was the theme of the National FederatiO!)
Independent Business {NFIB) conference at
Washington Hilton June 10-13.
NFIB president Wilson S. Johnson, in his
note address, reminded us that since the year
3 NFIB has increased in membership to about
l,OOO (579,000 at the beginning of the
ference).
Two vital steps have been to extend education
ard business and t.o develop more research in
islative issues. Wilson recommended that
sident Carter put the, fiscal force in order, for
government is "choking" initiative for free
~rprise. The freedoms we enjoy are accomied by heavy responsibility, and the best way
insure ~ better community is to "stay in
iness!"
A Nobel Prize winner in economics, Dr. Milton
•dman, was introduced t.o Monday's general
Jion. He predicted that five years from now we
be talking about the problem of inflation and
we have been going through this roller
iter. The people in Washington blame those
lad. The problem is not abroad but made at
te by government spending, and problems
lOt be solved by spending someone else's
•ey! We have a system of taxation without
-esentation. He has a political mechanism to
1 down government spending by having a
ending limitation amendment."
'I have affection for small business. My
er had a mom and pop business," Edward
nedy, senator from Massachusetts and chair' of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said.
tlgrants asked to build a better life for themes, but with the rush of events the value of
l'idual accomplishment was lost. No society
allow small business to be swallowed up by

EDITOR'S NOTE- The following article was
written by Carol Merkt-WiLI.;a of Merkt Chees<'

Company, Inc., BristoL
''I thought you might find it newsworthy that
a 3mall business from Bristol was represented at
the National Federation of Independent Busine~s
Conference in Washingi()n, D. C.,'' she said. WfJ

(Washington, D. C.l
America's future is
small business.
That was the theme of the National FedeTation
of Indep(lndent Business (NFrB) conference at
the Washington Hilton June 10-13.
NFIB president Wilson S. Johnson, in his
keynote address, reminded us that since thf' vear
1943 NFIB has increased in membership to
600,000 {579,000 at the beginning of the
conference) .
Two vital steps have been to extend
toward business and to develop more n
legislative issues. Wilson recommended that
President Carter put the fiscal force in ordn
the government is "choking" initiative for
enterprise. The freedoms we enjoy are accompamed by heavy responsibility, and the best v
to insure ,. better community is tD ''stay

A Nobel Prize winner in economics, Dr. Miltofl
Friedman, was introduced to Monday's general
session. He predicted that five years from now
will be talking about the problem of inflation
why we have been going through this r
coaster. The people in Washington blame those
abroad. The problem is not abroad but made at
home by government Sp(lnding, and problems
cannot be solved by spending someone else's
money! We have a system of taxation withont
representation. He has a political mechanism to
hold down government spending by having a
"spending limitation amendment."
"I have affection for small business_ My
father had a mom and pop business," Edward
Kennedy, senator from Massachusetts and chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said
Immigrants asked to build a better life for themselves, but with the rush of events the value of
individual accomplishment was lost. No society
can allow small business to be swallowed up by
big business.
Over 2,000 independent business conventioneers heard Senator Kennedy. The Washi~Lgton
Post quoted: •'As soon as he entered the ballroom
the murmurs from the audience rippled through
the room. Within minutes, unabashed autograph
;~eekers and amateur photographers had swamped

When the sun shines, Robert Watr·

Watring has just completed con·
struction of the f!rstcompieteiy solar·
heated home in Kenosha County.
The solar heating system, which
includes 12 solar panels built Into the
roof on the south side of the house, will
not only heat the 1,400-square·foot
structure but will also take care of
Watring's' hot water needs.
The system Watring has installed is
a dosed, forced-air system. Sunlight
hits the solar cells and the heat is sent
either directly to the house for irn·
mediate use, or is circulated to a
storage area for use later.

Thetemperaturemthestoragearea

lower than that, he said, it takes too

When the heat is need, an air han·

This hope was given when
Dr Harold Wagner and Ernest Celebre of St.

Hospital,
Kenosha, held an mformational meeting at Cen·

the establishmerit of a
medical clinic in the county
to be manned by physiciails
involved in the proposed
restdent program at St.
Catherine's Hospital.
At this meeting, representatives of ALL THE LOCAL
MUNICIPALITIES assured
Dr, Wagner and Mr. Celebre
of their interest and the need
for more medical services in
an area of 30,000 residents
presently served by two full
time and one part time
physicians.
These representatives
made it clear that St.

Two pract1cmg county

After being urged to immediate action, Or. Wagner
said that the next step would
be the formation of a committee made up of county
people to give those involved
in the project more area input.

After talking to many

wonder at the mention uf
Bristol as a possible clinic
location.
Since it is almost on top of
the Kenusha medical
facilties, isn't it too far east
to serve most county
residents any better than the
city's medical facilties

Mini-bikes draw Bristol ire
By ARLENE JENSEN
Staff Writer
BRISTOL - Mm1-bikes are causing
maxi-problems in Bristol.
Noel Elfering, town chairman, gaid
Monday, "I've had it with mini-bikes,
They are being illegally used on parks,
streets and school property."
A child was injured during the
weekend while riding a mlni-bike in
the Bristol industrial park, said Elfering, "and I almost hit one out on the
highway today."
A clampdown could come in the
form of an ordinance set for discussion
at the next town boar~ meeting Aug.
13.
.
The Bristol board is considering
adoptmg one already enacted by the
Town of Pewaukee. Officials there

actio~; affe~ ~;ing

took
plaguect by
uncontrolled use of mini-bikes, traH
bikes and other non-registered all·
terrain vehicles
The ordmance includes a provJsion
allowing operation of the vehicles only
on property owned by the operator or
his family and then only if the operator resides on the premises. Operation
would be confined to between 9 a.m.
and 6 p.m.
A nuisance clause provides that the
vehicles would not be allowed in operation if the noise causes an annoyance
to nearby rl!sidents.
Violation of the ordinance will be
subject to a fine of not less than $23
and not more than l50 for conviction
on the first offense."A second offense
could raise the fine to $40-llOO.
"I hate to put· restrictions on the

kids," said Elfering, "but we've got""
cholce. This has gone too far"

Ellering said some prellminary
steps must be taken first including
removal of a concrete base that remains after demolition of the old fire
station.
Jon Mason, town attorney, was
directed to draw specifications for
bidding.
In other action, the board voted to
renew a contract with Keith Johnson
Realty World, Paddock Lake, for the
sale of the old town halL The contract
will run from July 28 to Oct. 31.
Gloria Bailey, town clerk, said an
inflow and inflltration study of

l:lristo!'s sewer system is approlCimately 20 percent complete. She said
the engineering firm of Donahue and
Associates. Sheboygan_ is conducting
_the study which_ includes monitoring
the floW of surface water into the
sewers. Inadequate rainfall during the
summer has made flow monitoring
difficult, according to_ the report.
William Cosenza, constable, asked
the board to set a meeting with opera·
tors of King Richard's Faire, on Highway WG, just west of l-94, to review
the season and plan for next year.
Record crowds during the past
weekends have pointed up the need to
review provisions for emergency exits
as well as health, sanitation and fire
regulations, he said. El!ering agreed
to call a meeting of town and fair
o.fficials.

You won't rea!ly see Sir Galahad at

King Richard's Faire - or Queen
Gu:nevere or Robin Hood.
But that's not because the enter·
talners, artists and hucksters there
don't do what they can to make you
feel that you have.

At King Richard's Faire you take
the role of Mark Twain's "Conne.otlcut
Yankee in King Arthur's Court" for an
afternoon while everynne around you
affects the flowery speech and manner
and romantic costume of the legend·
ary t6th century.

It's a little Uke watching an old
Douglas Fairbanks movie from the
inside.
You. can crowd around the Mena tn
~heer on the gallant knights on therr
noble steeds as the) joust lot glory

and to win M'lady's favor. Or you can
join the competition yourself in an
archery contest.
King Richard's Faire, about 15
miles from downtown Kenosha, offers
an afternoon of games, music, food
and a large artisan's bazaar- all with
a Renaissance flavor.
The Faire is now nearing the close
of its seventh season. It will btl open
two more weekends this summer,
ending Aug. 5, Hours are from 10:30
a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays.
Special events for these remaining
two weekends are "His Majesty's
Hound Show" on July 28-29 and "A
Guild Festival" on Aug. 4 and 5.
Built into a thickly wooded area
adjacent to 1·94, the Faire bas several
stages on which musicians, actors,
magicians, jugglers and dancers entertain. There also are five games for
children and adults.
There are several specialty entertawments performed on a regular
basis. including jaustlng, rope walking
and a human chess game played by

costumed actors

Kenneth Enos called the action "a

"Prosecution of those under 18 cannot be done locally," said Ekornas.
"This will have to occur through county juvenile court."
Paul Bloyer, constable, said, "Minibikes have really quieted down in the
past two weeks, Since word spread

The Monday meeting inclUded a

In the 57 years since the Kenosha

its men had only advanced first aid

EMT training coordinator for the

addition of Emergency Medical

There's another type of medical
~rvice available outside the city II•<
its of Kenosha. It is provided by
veterinarians
Dr. S. W. Waldo, with his office Ia
Bristol, is one ot three vets practicing
west of the Interstate highway. HiJ
practice is limited to small animals.
It is bard for Wisconsin students to
obtain a veterinary medicine educa·
tion. Tbe state has no veterinarian
school and it is difficult for Wisconsin
residents to enroll in programs in
neighborintt: states.
SO, Waldo notes, the Wisconsin Vet·
erinary Medicine Association and the
Farm Bureau, are actively promoting
the establishment of a veterinary
school in the state.
There are only two ''horse doctors"
specializing in large animals in
Kenosha County. Tbey are Drs. Randy
Borri and Fred J. Culbert of ~
Bristol VeterinarY Service.
The Bristol name remains though
the doctors recently moved into new
·facilities in Paris, a more central
location for their practice, which cov·
ers an area from Fox Lake, lll., to
South Milwaukee.
"Ninety-nine percent of our business was 'house calls'," Borri says.
The team of vets averaged 900 miles of
driving per week. Sixty-five percent of
the animals treated are horses; the
rest, cattle and other farm animals
Now, in their new facilities, which
include examining and operating
rooms for horses, the two veter·
tnarians hope more of their patients
will be stopping in for office visitl.

Happy Dilemma for Kempf Family
Most Attractive Farm Winners
BY NANCY POULER
Winning a weekend trip for having the farm
judged most attractive in a Kenosha County Farm
Bureau contest poses a problem for Diane and
James Kempf of Bristol Township.
Just when can they take two days away from
their cows and fall harvest to indulge themselves
by sleeping past 5 a.m. and enjoying the sights
and attractions of Door County?
It is a pleasant question to ponder, though,
and the happy young couple is not really worried
about gelting away. Although they will have to
wait "for a break in the harvest," like a rainy
spell. That would be a good time to go, Jim su.id.
With his parents, Sam and Laura, just down
the road, they know their three children, the dairy
herd and the fields will be well cared for during
their little vacation.

Pretty as a picture, but a working fann and a

"It takes everybody to run the fmm," Diane
said. "The kids help us so much. They mow the
lawn, babysit for Sarah, help with the milking;
and Paul is learning to drive the tractor. We were
kind of lost when they went back to school.·'
Jim and Diane were high school sweethearts
at Central and she confesses she never thought
about being anything but a farmer's wife. Their
daughter, Kristie, though, has other ideas. She
would like to be a veterinarian or a farmer {notice,
she said farmer, not fanner's wife).
Paul thinks farming is fine too and little Sarah
hugs the dog to show that she is satisfied with her

Bristol's sewer and water utlllty districts can expect "a substantial in"
crease in rates in the near future,"
Increases could go as high as $15 per
month, Elfering said at a meeting of
the diStricts, "and people are going to
be in for a big shock."
He said public hearings will be held
before the new rates are determined
Michael Rau, ])()nahue and Associates, Waukesha, reported to members of Sewer District l that the inflow
and Infiltration (1 and l) study is 45
percent complete.

Horton says the local group does
not adlvely solicit new members
but still manJ.ges to attract about
35 new policyholders per year
"The word gets around and people come to us," he said.
The strength of Wisconsin's
town mutuals continues to grow,
atcording to Horton, "because
you're only dealing with local peo-ple. When you have trouble, local
people can help you."
Officers of the company, besides
Horton, ~re Leverett Leet, Somers, president; Ernest Grulich,

available to c:ounty residents aged 19 through 60
at a small fee of $6 which pays for a computer
read-out of re~ults of the examination coupled
with an !II!alysis of a questionnaire completed by
the parbcipant.
The screening includes eyesight, urine, blood,

questionnaire delves into health background,
psychological data and lifestyle.
Approximately three weeks after taking the

By ARLENE JENSEN
Staff Writer
BRISTOL - A 1980 general budget
ol '284,158 was proposed Monday by
the town board.
The new figure represen~ an Increase almost ~.ooo since the 1979
budget was approved at ~.232.
The additional funds will be raised
by an increase Jn Bristol's town tax. In
1979, a !A mill tax wu levied to
produce $25,000. The new proposal
Includes levying si:Jr:-tenths of a mill to
prnduce $66,829.
According to Russell Horton, supervisor, the new mill rate tralllllates to
$30 a year on a $SO,OOO home.
Other revenue anticipated by the
town includes shared taxes from the
state of Wisconsin in the amount of
$140,000; industrial park, $18,000;
highway aids, U4,000: licenses,
$12,000; traaer tax, -49,000; apd fire
contracts, $7,500.
In anticipated expenses, the largest
item is $86,936 set aside for highways
and streetlights, followed by $81,500 in
general gwernment
Prot.ection of persons and property

!/•)7·/'t

.is estimated at $39,150; health and
social services, ~UiOO; debt retirement, $Z3,165; Insurance and bonds,
$15,000.
Other budget allocations include industrial park, $&,000; recreation and
parks, $4.,000; capital Improvements,
43,000; and miscellaneous, $1,500.
A pubUc hearing and adoption of the
1980 budget is set for Dec. 10.
Board membera reviewed proposed
budgets for the town's three utility
districts, Sewer District 1 and 18 and
the water utility district.
Rate bikes wUI be proposed to meet
rising costs in both sewer districts,
according to Noel Elferlng, town
chairman.
In sewer District l, which encompasses the village in Bristol, rates are
expected to be increased from $8.50 to
$12 per month. Fees in district lB at
Lake George wUI be increased from
U0.50 to $15 per month.
In District 1, the 11180 budget Is set
at $49,000 up from $47,000 approved for
l979.
Plans are being made to refinance
District 1B according to E!ferlng and

w!ll enable a n~ budget to .be set at
$36,340. The 1979 budget was approved
at $54,864.
An increase in the budget of the
water utility has been proposed at
$80,477, the figure set for 1980. The
1979 budget was set at .SS,490.
"The water utility is not In a bind
today," said Elferlng, "but It will be
when we start tallying the coats for a
new well."
He said the town will apply to the
Public Service Commission for a hike
in water rates to pay for the well.
With the exception of the water
utility, all town budgets ran over their
stated totals for 11J79, Sewer District 1
by -42,000 and 1B by $9,000.
The general budget for 1979 Is expee ted to total 1347,705 by the time the
year is over, more than $90,000 over
budget. Much of lt Is attributed to
$76,000 in improvements to the Industrial park, where oniy $12,500 had
been budgeted.
Revenues for 1979 also ran $55,000

Bristol Student
Featured on Radio
Llsa laquinta. a fourth grader at Bristol
S-=hool, was featured Nov. 14 on a radio program
on the Wisconsin Educational Radio Network.
The program, ''The Author Is You," is
des1gned to help students write creatively. It does
not offer vocabulary lessons, discussions on
~yntax or puiictuation, but rather examines
human experiences ns a source of writing ideas.
According to school officials, ''It is important
for students to develop a sense of individuality -and they can through writing. What students
WrJte should be a product of themselves. When
they sense that what results on paper is a unique
expression of their own feelings and attitudes,
writin~~: becomes a natural, satisfying process

rather than an abstract and excruciating
exercise.··
This year there are six '·authorshipping''
programs for budding authors.
Lisa· s story appears below;
When Mr. Washington, Mr. Jefferson,
Mr. Roosevelt, and Mr. Lincoln died, they,
of course, were buried. Ten years later a
mad scientist unburied them and sprinkled
a magical powder on their heads. Nothing
happened. He was disappointed but there
was no reason for him to be, because in
another decade the heads would be Mt.
Rushmore.

$63,920 Instead of the anticipated
$35,000. Other areas where revenue
was higher than expected Include
shared taxes, fire contracts, utlllty
repayments and trailer taxes.
Monday's agenda al!Kl included
some declsio!lll on library services for
residl!!!l:!·
A letter from Patricia Johnson,
representing the Kenosha Publlc Ubrary, indicated that federal money
wlll be used to pay that portion of
library fees previously paid by resldents.
. "Any resident of Bristol can get a
hbrary card during 1980 at no charge
to them," Johnson's letter said. "This
card will be valid for 12 months."
The town will continue to substdlre
library feeB at the rate of $10 per card.
Graham PubUc Library, Union grove,
will be dropped from the list of Ubraries subsidized by the town, because of
a W cent per item fee.

Additional revenues will be raised
by an increase in the town tax. In 19'79,
a 1/4 mill tax was levied to produce
$25,000. The new mill rate is 5/9 and
will produce revenues of $00,829.
Other revenue anticipated by the
ll.lwn includes shared taxes from the
state, $140,154: industrial park.

questwn could be put before vot_ers on
a referendum to allow borrowmg of
approximately $50,000 for a tanker
"Or, if the old tanker breaks down
completely, the board could authorize
pnrchase of a new one under emer·
gency provisions," said Elfering.
'The general government portion of

the budget is set at $81,500.
Broken down, it includes such Items
as \ega! and audit, $19,000; town ball

In the Salem Grade-Central High
District, the gross rate totals Ut\.90
minus the $1.27 tax credit for a net
rate of $15.63 per $1,000 of assessed
valuation.
It represents a drop of $1.45 from
last year's net of $17.08.
The northern portion of the township which includes Ule PariS GradeCentral High district has the gross of
$14.79 less the $1.27 state credit for a
ne-t of $13_51. down one cent from last

property owners can figure their new
tax bills by multiplying the latest
assessment by the net rate for their
district.
If the assessment totals $50,000 and
is located in Ule Bristol Grade-Central

$710.50, or &0 times the $14.21 net rate.

by an lncreaae in the town tax. In 11179,
a 1/4 mill tax was levied to produce
$25,000. The new mill rate is 5/9 and
will produce revenues of $66,829.
Other revenue anticipated by the
town includea shared taxes from the
state, $140,154; industrial park,
$16,000; highway aids, Sl4,540;
licenses, HZ,OQO; fire contracts and
insurance, $7,500.
Maintenance and repair of roads is
the biggest expenditure In the 1980
budget at $113,34.3.
Fire and rescue work Is budgeted at
$32,000 with an additional 37,000 for
police, justice and stray dog pick-up.
Eugene Krueger, fire chief, told the
board his department is in need o! a
new tanker.
"The old one is 30 years old," said
Krueger. "We have to go to }unkyarlli!
to get parts."
Noel Elferlng, town chairman,
agreed a new vehicle is needed but
said statutory limitations prevent the
town !rom raising more money
through taxation
Two possibilities exist, he said. The
question could be put before voters on
a referendum to allow borrowing of
approximately $50,000 for a tanker.
"Or, if the old tanker breaks down
completely, the board could authorize
parchase o! a new one under emergency provisions," said E!fering.

A total of $14,977 is expected In

$250 of it set aside for a summer
recreation program for children. The
balance will be used on town roads.
DURING HEARINGS on the 1980
utility district budgets, E. L. Crispell,
town engineer, recommended that
$24,000 be transferred from Sewer I to
1-B to correct an inequity In
payments.
According to Crispell, District I
located near the vl!lage In Bristol,
uses 65 percent of the capacity of the
treatment plant while 1-B, George
Lake, uses only 35 percent.
Crispell said the history of both
districts was researched and all construction costs taken into account
before recommendations were made.
He said the $24,000 payment would
mean ''District 1 is buying its share of
plant capacity."
Elfering sald, "Both utillties are In
bad shape, and both wl!l have rate
increaSI!s in 1900."
Begining Jan. l, users In District 1
will pay $12 per month and District 1B will be set at $15. The old rates were
$8.f>O and $10.50 respectively.
Electors passed budgets for the
sewer utilities with Distrlct 1 set at
$42.150 <Hid District 1-B at $38,3~:
