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.
Doris was one of 9 children of Ernst F. and Martha (nee: Hackbarth) Kirchner and
married Arthur MagwilL

Staff WrUer
BRISTOL - Richard Mazurek haJi
been named assistant chief of the
Bristol Fire Department. The appointment was made Monday at a meeting
of the town b-oard.
Mazurek, an eight-year veteran of
the fire department, wlll fill the
vacancy left by the resignation of
Floyd Fisher.
The fire department is under the
command of Chief Eugene Krueger
and two aSgistants, Mazurek and
Donald Wienke, assistant chief of
rescue services.
Town officials Monday denied a
claim for $23,831! filed by Emmons and
Helen Back, 201!04 82nd _st.
The Backs have filed suit in
Kenosha Circuit Court seeking damages from the contractors who built
their home and against the town of
Bristol, whose building inspector approved the house. Named in _the suit
bes!des the town are Je!fy A.
Rlthamel, 21109 !!2nd St., 'and Timothy
Zelinski, Antioch, contractors.
The suit contends the builders were
negligent in the construction of the
home in Oak Farms Subdivision. The
Backs allege that Fred Pitts, building
inspector, issued an occupancy permit
July 19, 1979, although the home does
not conform to state and town building
cedes. The matter has been referred
to the town insurance C;>rrier.
Seven banks are designated as town
depositories according to an ordinance
passed Monday. The move was made,

election wards.
A Jaw enacted by the Legislature
will require every city, village and
town with a l980 population of 1,000 or·
more to create wards or re-align
existing ward boundaries.
In Bristol that will mean four
wards, acco~ding to Noel El!erlng,
town chairman. The population of
Bristol is near 3,500. The law will
permit a minimum of 300 inhabitants
per ward and a maximum of 1,000 for
communities in that range.

cific ward. The chairman and supervisors will continue to be elected on an
at-large basis.
The new law does not specify that
every ward has a separate place to
cast ballots. One polling place and the
same set of PQlling officials may s_erve
two or more wards as long as records
and baUots are kept separate.
In preparing for the Feb. 19 primary, the board voted to reduce the
number of poll workers from seven to
three.

voter turnout !s expec::t.ed throughout
the county."

''The Department of Transportation
has recommended lowering the speed
limit to 35 mph between I-94 and !28th
Avenue," he said.
The Investigation was requested by
the Bristol Planning board because of
heavy traffic.
Routine requests for use of the town
hail meeting room sparked complaints
by board members who fear that uoo
of the facility ls turning to "abuse."
"We've only been !n thi! building

one year," said EJfering, "and already the wa!ls are so dirty they need
repainting. We can't allow the building
to be abused."
&lpervisor Donald Wienke suggested the board has been "too lenient" in granting requests for use of the
facUlty.
Elfering said all groups who use the
hall will be told they must leave it in
good order.
"We can't have the janitors down
here every day cleaning this place."
Board members approved a request
by Eugene Krueger, fire chief, to
purchase a replacement l!ner and low

portable tanker at a combined cost of
$1,040.

:;t~~~~ ~:~~~~~... state uniform dwelling code
By ARLENE JENSEN

Staff Writer
BRISTOL - The town board voted
.Moodily to support the Wisconsin
'l'uwnl Association protest of the new
state uniform dwelling code.
WTA is urging a mass pro!el!t
against the code, which is set to go
jnto effect June 1, lMO, gOverning
~ction of every one- and twofamily home in Wisconsin.
.
-•- ,__

said, "No matter how you cut it, town
people agree that Ulis dwelling code is
going to be a big problem for towns
and extremely costly for Ule person
building a home."
The drive to halt implementation of
the code began In Brown County,
according to Krueger. TI!at county's
unit of the WTA passed a resolution
requestlngthatalltownsbepolled"to
determine i1 there is sufficient unity
~~""" lhf' l.ZOO member towns to

to make a g!X>d impression," he :>aid in

the leUer.
Whlle town chairman Noel Elferlng
strongly urged support of WTA position, Supei,"Visor Russell Horton dlsagreed.
"I'm in,clined to go along With the
new code," said Horton. "The ordinary layman is not qualified to know
ifhishomeisbeingbuiltproperly,and
it's important to have some guidelines
laid down by the stale."
'~"~nh r 7 "hin a member l(lf the

from Michael Rau, Donahue and Associates, conderning an Inflow aild
infiltration study of, the village sewer
system.
Rau blamed defective manholes as
t)'le major source of inflow IntO the
system.
.
"Clear water is running Into your
sewers through the manholes, and It is
very expensive to treat down at the
planl"
Rau estimated that at least half of
the t!KI manholes in the district are
· ·-- _, ~~~,..~<<><~ or mis-

manholes were passed around to show
the damage whkh, Rau said, could be
attritubed to frost heave, action of
earth-moving equipment or snow
plowing.

WTA Is urging a mass protest
q;aWt Ule code, which is set to go
into effect June 1, 19110, governing
cotwtruction of every one- and twofamily home in Wisconsin.
The CC!de outlines requirements for

gnmg to be a big problem (or towr-.1!
and extremely ~.os\ly for \lle per~on

The drive to Mit implementation of
the code began in Brown County,
according \:.0 Krueger. That county's
unit o{ the WTA passed a resolution
requesting tilat all towns be polled "to
determine il there is sufficient unity
among the 1,200 member towns to
make a last-ditch effort to have the
code rePealed or amended to make it
optional."
Krueger said the WTA plans a rnajor protest in Madison !n late February or early March.

"I'm inclined_ to ga along witt! the

if his home is being built prop€rly, and
it's important to have some guidelines
laid down by the state."
Joseph Czubtn, a member of the
town planning commi~sion, said the
code was passed by tlle state Leglslature because of "complaints by consumers who were not satisfied with
the way their homes had been built."

"Clear water is runnmg lnt.o yuur

Rau estimated that at least half of
tlle 190 manholes in lhe district are
defective because o! cracKed or misaligned frames, allowing water to
enter. Low manholes, subject to ponding after rainstorms, are also a probl,em, he said.

First consider the cost of the bookmobile Which provides service to various parts of the county. The bookmobile was a gift to the Kenosha
Public Library, It was purchased
(used) for $8,526 by donatioll!l from
city citizens. Some new cars cost
more than that. Operating costs .aTe
paid by tax monies, as is the driver
and other personnel who keep it running about 60 hours per week.
One other factor in this reduced cost
is the established library in Salem. A
County Library System would
strengthen this library. Cost of estatr
lishing a branch has been avoided.
or course then! is no free library
service. The rural part of the county
will pay Its share according to the
amount of usage. This is estimated to
be about 10 percent of total circulation. If the amount of rural circulation
goes above the 10 percent mark, and It
probably will, city of Kenosha residents will complain that the rest of the
county is not paying its fair share.
I pay taxes too. For a fire department t hope I never need, police
protection I wish I didn't need, schools
I probably won't take advantage of
anymore, highway maintenance 1 only
use if I drtve, but tax money that goes
for library service has no strings
attached. I don't even need to know
how to read. I can always borrow
records, films or picture books.

PARIS ~ Jake, a four-year old
quarter horse, munched his hay
contentedly as Dr. Randy Borri
described the surgery the animal
had undergone four days earlier.
Jake was spending a few days in
the recovery room, a stall area of
the new Bristol Veterinary Service, recuperating from his operation.
Dr. Borri and his partner, Dr.
Fred Culbe\t, performed a cryptorchism on the sorrel horse,
surgery that is designed to correct
an undf'-Scended testicle. In Jake's
tase. the testicle had grown inside
hi& abdominal cavity, according to
Borri, and was producing more

done in _the new facility since it
opened in late fall, according to
Borri.
Prior to opening the new hospital, Borri said, operations on large
animals were done outside on
farms.
"We would just wait for a nice
day, !.hen anesthetize the anima!
and do sur-gery outside on the
grass," he said.
More serious cases requiring
complicated procedures were
tr~nsferred to a veterinarian in
Naperville, ill., who has an cindoor

Borri and Culbert, the only veterinarians in Kenosha County who
specialize in large animals, don't
bring cows into the operating room
but conhnue to perform surgery on
them in barns.

and $250

BRISTOL - The town board announced Monday it will challenge a
dog claim paid by Kenosha County to a
Bristol farmer.
Supervisor Russell Horton said a

damage claim paid to LeRoy

year after all claims are paid Is
retumed to the towns.
Horton said three claims were paid
by the county last year. In addition to
the Gillmore claim, two payments
were made to Somers residents, one
for $8 and another for n2.
Horton said he dislikes the claim

Road, following an .incident last fall
when dogs attacked a flock of chickens
was too low.
Gillmore lost 155 chickens and
Horton estimated they were worth f3
each. The county paid Gillmore 11.25
per chicken or a total of $UJ3.75.
Town officials wUI meet with the
county finance committee March 13 at
6:30 p.m. regarding settlement of the
clauil.
Horton. said, "We're very unhappy
with the way the finance committee
handled this matter, and if we don't
get any satisfaction from them, we'll
go before the County Board."
Horton said that towns collect fees
from dog licenses but according to
state statute must tum the money

Noel Elfering, town chairman, said,
"The county keeps ,1,000 for administration, then does a lousy job of it."
Elfering said he and Horton had
been called to the Gillmore farm Nov.
w after the attack on the chickens.
''The dogs probably killed two dozen
birds, he said, ''The rest of them
crowded into a corner and were suffocated."
He described the chickens as
"young pullets just beginning to lay
eggs and well worth $3 each."
Horton said Gillmore later replaced
the chickens at a cost of $2.95 each. He

Bristol may vote again on
fire equipment purchase
By JAMES ROHDE
Staff Writer
HRJSTOL - It appears Bristol voters will again ha•e an opportunity tn
decide whether the town fire department should get a new tanker.
Noel Elfering, town chairman, informed the planning board Monday of
a 'letter from the Bristol li'ire Department requesting a referendum on the
purchase of a new 2,5oo-gallon tanker
with a pump capacity of 450 to 750
gallons per minute. Cost of the equipment is estimated at $65,000.
Elfering said it appears likely the
board will place the advisory referendum on the Apr. 1 ballot
It would be the second such vote in
16 months. On Nov. 7, 1978, voters
rejected a referendum to purchase an
i $80,000 tanker in favor of obtaining a
, veh1cle from government surplus

Dear Editor:

It is my understanding that damages to
building and property at the Bristol Elementary
School had resulted~'n a township ordinance
requiring permission to be on school property.
However, duting the ummer, minibikes, -dune
buggies and automobil s leave tracks all over the
property and during the winter snowmobiles are
out en masse. It is assumed that the township
would not put an ordinance on the books unless
there was a means of enforcing it. As one whose
local taxes go almost (lntirely to the school
district, I would like to see the township
demonstrate more concern regarding actual and
potential damage to the school.
Sincerely,
A Concerned Bristol Resident

A short time ago in the Voice of the

Somers is enjoying a $700,000 bank

The Somers Town Board applied
$50,000 surplus funds to reduce the
county tax levy.
I have to assume the $700,000 bank
balance was accrued from state

AT A MEE'flNG OF the water

hire the engineering firm of Crispell

E. L. Crispell told members of the
utility that boring equipment wm be
used to drill a 150-Ioot bole to determine the existence of sand and
gravel formations, th~ grain size of
sand and gravel and whether there is
water.
- The auger bole, two to three inches
in diameter, is is also a rough indicator of water quality, said Crispell
The town board, sitting as district
rommissioners, agreed to the auger·
ing method as a preliminary to the
actual drilling of a test well
Board members are still smarting
over the first test well drilled several
months ago. It cost about $12,000 and
turned up a dry hole.
Auger holes will cost from $1,400 to
$1,600 each, said Crispell, plus engineering fees estimated near $1,500
He recommended drilling the first
one in Oak Farms SubdivisiOn. The
area is near a stream hed and if good
water i_LfDund, it could be pumped
din!Cffy ·into the existing distribution
system.
The iron content in the water will
mean some serious decisions, according to Crispell.
"If you require iron removal, the
water would have to be pumped back
to your existing plant or you wHl have
to build another iron removal facil·
ity."
If the Oak Farms site comes up dry,
Crispell was authorized to bore a
second hole but no more.

Richard Schliewe, couf~t:plssesSor,
said because Kenosha County assesses

"The ass~ssor's office has a very

Supervisor Stanley Kerkman iiDid he
sympathized, "but every claim we get

Harton and Elfering were called out
to examine the claim and recom·
mended Gilmore be reimbursed $3 per
bird. In January Gilmore replaced the
chickens at $2.!.15 each.
Gilmore's claim and the Bristol
board's recommendation went to
county finance, which reduced the
rettnbursement to $1.25 each.
"fi'"inance Thursday night agreed to
increase the claim to $1.87¥. per
chicken but not before ell:plaining how
it pays claims
A state statute, committee memhers said, authorizes county boards to
pay claiffil! for farm animals killed or
injured by dogs with payments coming
out of the dog license fund. In Kenosha
County, the ~;ounty keeps $1,000 each
out of the license money colI by the towns, and the rest
reverts back to the towns. The $1,000 !s
used solely to pay claims.
"We don't like to collect for dog

keeping the ride as smooth as possible.
As a licensed practical nurse with prior

3 referendums slated
l. (/.

manent res!d~nts, the committee

By ARLENE JENSEN
Staff Writer
Voters in three western Kenosha
County communities will vote on referendums when they go to the polls
Aprill.
In Paddock Lake, electors will be
faced with the question of whether to
build a neW village hall-community
center, and in Bristol, the issue is a
new tanker truck for the fire department. Salem voters will decide whether they want to support a public
library.

PADDOCK LAKE- Village voters
will mark their preference on this
question:
"Shall the following resolution be
approved? That the village of Paddock
Lake proceed immediately to con·
struct a new village hall and community center on property owned by
the village, said construction costs not
to exceed $250,000 of which $200,000 is
to be financed by v!llage notes as set
forth in Section 67.12 (12) statutes."
A special commlttee appointed by
the village board last summer rewrned it;: findings Od. H with a
rc:·omm1•ndat\on to ptoee<.'!:l
pLms for u rww viHage hall
Headed by Timothy McLafferty, the
committee studied present and future
needs of tbe village,
According to the report, the present
village hall was purchased in t003
when the village bad a population of
1,000, mostly seasonal residents The
populaUon now stands at 2,217 !1\')t-

J',·

found.

Tb.e committee cited cramped quarters for village offlcials and the police
department as well as inadequate
storage for village records. The village hall parking lot provides space
for six cars.

,

A new, two-level structure could be
built on 9.1 acres of Village-owned land
on 236tb Avenue, the report sqggested,
with the main floor divided between
village offices and the police department. A meeting room could hold 100

persons.
The lower level would house a community center and meeting area for

200 persons. It would be designed With
an entrance on the same level as the
Jl3.rking lot.
Harvey Wunderlich, village presi-

dent, estimates the old village hall can
be sold for $50,000. "So we're reaUy

talking about a new structure for
$200,000," he said.
The average Paddock Lake homeowner with a house valued between
$50,000 and $50,000 would see his taxes

raised by $50 to $00 per year if the
buiiding is appron~d, Wunderlich said.
Payments on the b11ilding would 00
S!Jfted GVH 10

year~.

BRISTOL·- Eled'm in Bristol will
vote "yes" or "no" on this advl5ory
referendum·
''Be it resolved that the town board
ol the town ot Bristol, pursuant to the
authorlty vested in the board by Wisconsin Statute~ 60,29 (18), be author·

ized to borrow a sum not to exceed
$65,000 to purchase a tanker truck for
fire protection services for the Bristol
Fire Department and to levy a direct
annual irrepealable tax on all taxable
property within the town sufficient to
pay the principal and interest on said
indebtedness as the same becomes due
and payable."
Although the tanker issue will appear on the ballot, it could be a moot
point by election day
An emergency meetl,ng of town of.
ficia!s and firefighters was held Friday to discuss the possibility of
purchasil!g a used vehicle to replace
their aging tanker.
Noel Elfering, town chairman, said
a search is being conducted to locate a
used chassis. On Friday, Elfering
learned of a truck for sale at Air
botsford, Wis., that could be
purchased for W,900. Adding a tank
would cost another $12,000.
The Abbotsford truck nee<!s repairs,
so it won't be seriously considered
until defects are corrected, according
to Elfering.
Eugene Krueger, fit·e chlef, report0::! scouring junkyards for Radne
to Waukegan to find repal~ p.arl.:l for
the pr<:<sent tanker. The Hl€ !nterna
!tonal was "a good vehicle in it~ daY,"
said Krueger, "but we've got to p!an
!or the needs of the community."
Elfering sailf he "can't argue with
the need for a tanker , , . I just don't
want to spend $65,000."

The Coleman Tool and Manufacturing Co. of the Town of Bristol has
been purchased by Maresca!co Enterprises of Kenosha.
Randy Maresca!co, president of his
machming firm, saJd Coleman's plant
will be moved mto the Marescalco
facJlity at 6915 30th Ave. in ApriL
At that time, Doug Coleman, who
operated the Bristol plant, will join
the Marescalco firm as a vice president.
Coleman was doing about 70 percent
of Marescalco's secondary work so it
made sense, Marescalco said, to buy
Coleman's machinery and move the
large "bar automatic" machines into
the Kenosha plant.
Marescalco completed a move Into
new quarters early this year
Marescalco's former plant 1s a few

course.
No one disagrees that the existing
tanker sh~u\d be replaced or that th_e
proposed library system would ~nef~t
more counly residents. But, this lsn t
the time for more tax spending.
We have not yet felt the total impact
of the school and town debts, let alone
those that the state and federal government wm impose now that revf.'!l·
ues are declining.
Don't forget, it is not as though we
are without these services, but instead
it is a matter of upgrading the existing
serv1ces.
In my opinion such programs should
have a low priority and not be used to
fuel inflation.

attorney general's offJce brought the
present suit seeking permanent abatement of the nuisance. After a number
of hearings, Judge Fisher last year
agreed with the neighborhood residents that the odor was "pungent,
nauseating, unbearable."
The judge gave owner Chris Aralis,
Chicago, time to solve the problem
and appointed a "referee" to monitor
the situation and report to the court.
Last June, when Bristol residents
complained there had been no real
improvement in the odor situation,
Judge Fisher remarked, "Maybe the
only remedy is to order the egg ranch
to close down permanently."
Fisher says he has received an
extensive report from the court·appointed referee about the situation
currently at the Quality Egg Ranch,

Will Bristol's Quality Egg Farm be nauseating, unbearable.''

'f

ordered shut down as a public
nuisance?
Or Will owner Chris Aralis be given
additional time to solve a chicken
manure odor problem that has plagued
neighbors for a dozen years?
Judge Michael Fisher promised a
written decision within two weeks.
But whichever way the decision goes,
the case will probably be appealed to a
higher CQUrt.
Final testimony in the case was
heard by Judge Fisher in a hearing
Wednesday morning.
For years, residents of Bristol living near the egg farm on Highway :10
have complained about chicken rnanure odors and flies. In Aprill978, the
state attorney general's office brought
the present suit seeking permanent
abatement of the nuisance.
In March 1979, after hearings, Jndge
Fisher found the Quality Egg Farm,
consisting of seven laying houses for
14<1,000 hens, a feed mill and egg
packing building, operated in such a
way as to constitute a public nuisance.

The judge gave the$1.2 millionagribusiness nine months to "eliminate all
objectionable odors,·· and appointed a
referee to study progress toward
elimination of the problem.
Wednesday, Judge Fisher had the
referee's report and heard testimony
from area residents, a town official
and Aralis
.
The report indicated bl.at 1.mbl the
study was completed last December,
the odor at the farm was bad to '-'€ry
bad on two-thirds of the referee's
visits.
Residents testified that the problem
grew worse after the periOOk checks
ended Dec. 27.
Mrs. Gail Schnaare, who Eves adjacent to land on which Aralis' employees spread the chicken manure for
disposal, said the odor t.':lis year has
been "incredible.''
__
She testified that Mans' employees
came down the fenceline o! her property four times on March lO, spreading
wet chicken manure 20 feet onto he!'
property.

On the sWml. Aralis said since the
court order to eliminate the odors, he
had spent ~ih1.000 to $6(1,000 on the
problem. R<: sa<d he felt he had
eliminated nct<lrs "to a great extent"
and was ''stlli wcrkmg on :t. ''
Town Chenrman Noel Elfering said
he, too, thought the situation had
improved, hllt conceded that he
wouldn't like to liFe next door to the
egg farm
E_ l f e r i n g _ r e commended
"gmdelirJes·· to improve the problem
and urged th<? C0\1rt to give Aralis
more time, ·- ;:;nother year or two," to
eliminate the odors.
A neighbnnng dairy farmer, Horace
Fowler, \<las (';:;]led to testify by Milton
Konicek, Bm--1\ngwn, Aralis' attorney.
Fowler sad he felt the problem was
not unique to the egg farm, but had
implications for agr!culture in gener"
a!. Since WGr\d War II, l<'owler said,
farms hav"' grown larger and this
inlensificamm of agriculture has
created problem~ between residential
and agricultural land users.
Fowler saJd he was concerned that
shutting dn'l'o the egg farm could have
an impact [)0 "every segment of agri-

cultural enterprise."
Fowler likened the situation to the
noise nmsance for persons living near
O'Hare Airport "They move away or
get used to it."
Assistant Attorney General Patrick
Walsh said the Quality Egg case did
not fit Fowler's characterization as a
threat to all agriculture,
"This is not the demise of the
family farm as we know it," Walsh
argued tp the court_ He noted that
some of the egg fann's neighbors had
lived there 30 to 35 years, long before
the agri-business began operations.
"This is a group of country people
who have had this business move in on
them and make their lives miserable.''
Walsh alleged that after the referee
ended his monitoring, Dec. 27, "the
pressure was off'' and the egg fann
returned to "business as usuaL"
"They thumbed their nose at the
people of the neighborhood,'' Walsh
charged,
Konicek responded, "There has to
be some coexistance.
''Judge, we're asking for more
time. That about sums it up."

Medical center still doubtful
By ARLENE JENSEN

Stafl Writer ~~· -'"' f-~V
BRISTOL - Monday's t~wn board
meeting was supposed to indude a

discussion with a physician who Is
reportedly considering opening a prac-

'"

tice in Bristol.
The town hoard was there. Henry
Poplar, owner of the Bristol Medical
Center was there. A number of resi·
dents came to hear what the doctor
would offer the town.
The only person missing was the
doctor.
Poplar explained he plans to convert the old, Bristol South School on
Highway C into a medical facility. He
described the building as "very suitable with ample room, wide doors,
wide !!ails and plenty of parking,"
"The doctor I've been talking to
wants $45,000 ~ year guaranteed,'' said
Poplar, "plus a n1.1rse, receptionist
janitor and paid utilities, but he
doesn't have enough intR.rest to come
out here and talk about it."
William Cusenza, said, "Let's give
him the benefit of th~- doubt Maybe he

N~f'l

Elfetir.g told

Poplar he likes the idea of a medical
center in Bristol "and the people in
the area would support a doctor, but I
think you'd better keep looking until
you find a doctor that will seriously
commit himself.''
MONDAY'S AGENDA included a
unanimous vote that will authorize the
board to purchase a used tanker truck
for the fire department.
According to Elfering, the task will
be accomplished in two purchases
with a used chassis estimated near
$18,000. The purchase of a tank to be
added to the vehicle will put the total
cost to nearly $25,000, he said.
Supervisor Russell Hort(}n s.aid the
funds will be borr(}Wed from a local
source with sealed quotations on in·
terest rates for a loan being accepted
by the town Quotations will be opened
at the May 12 board meeting.
fi'ire Chief Eugene Krueger said he
is satisfied with the plan to purchase a
used tanker to replace the 1947 truck
currently being used
''I've felt for some time that a used
vehicle is the way to go," ~aid
Krueger.
At Krueger's reque~t. Bristol's

Besides the Bristol number,
857-2121, the listing will include
6rt0-6600, the number of the Kenostla
County Stleriff'~ Department. Krueger
recommended ttle county number as a
backup precaution.
In other action, the board agreed to
allow the lease of radar equipment for
use by the town constables
Cusenza, one of three constables,
said with ~ummer approaching, "the
activity level is increasing near the
state line. We have speed limits but no
way to enforce them."
Board members indicated they
were Willing to allow the use of a hand·
held radar unit, but, said Horton, "we
don't want Bristol to become a speed

Cusenza assured the board the unit
will be used "with discretion_ It is not
intended to be a revenue-making operation." Leasing the equip'ment is ex·
pected to cost $48.8() per month.

order could be granted that could
delay the ordered shutdown of the egg
farm for at least several months.
In closing down U1~ agri-business,
Fisher stressed in his decision the
uniqlleness of tlle circumstances. He
noted specihcally thai "the ~.gg farm
situation is far different from the
average farm in the Bristol l\!'Cll or
tnrolir,huat Kenosha County .,
Area farmers had expressed concern at earlier hearings that shutting
down the egg farm because of an odor
problem could establish a precedent
that could have an adverse impact on
"every segment of agricultural en"
terprise."
Quality Egg began operations in
1967 w1th 60,000 hens, Over the years,
the operation increased to a packing
house, feed mill and seven laying
houses for 140,000 birds. The farm
produces about 15 tons of chicken
manure per day, which is spread on
adjoining fields

He :d.ded, '"Th~ ionmly farm iMid
farming are very important to our
society, but just as in everything e!se,
flagrant abuse eventually must be
dealt with, It should be clear that the
egg farm situation is far different
from the average farm in the Bris:.ol
area or throughout Kenosha County
The average farm is a fami!y farm, it
IS a farm which existed long before
any residential development. and
neighbors are not dustered together
and are not so close to farm buildings
as is true at the egg farm,"
Judge l''isher noted that over twothirds of the neighbors were there
before the egg farm came in 1967.
"This is a situation for the most
part where the nuisance came to the
neighbors, not vice versa.''
Today, Judge Fisher called the decision "the toughest" he has been
called on to make.~e said it was a
highly unusual situ tion and, in fact,
in researching the gal question, he
could find only ~;~pe

In that case, Jewett vs. Dearhorn.
Enterpdses, the Oregon court
weighed comparative injury to the
business and to neighbors and found
for the residents. The Oregon court
insisted that tilere be "subsl<lntial
interference in the day·to-day use and
comfort of their residences'' and that
the or.ly way tlw 1l<'ighbors couid avoid
il was by moving. ln such cases, the
court held that the harm to !.he
bors was greater.
Judge Fisher said the Jewett case
was "closely aligned" to the Quality
Egg situation.
"The court is satisfied," Fisher
wrote, "that in the fact situation
before the Court the interference
created hy the egg farm is both substantial and unreasonable in that it has
for many years prevented the neighbors from the normal use and enjoyment o! their property and has '
some effect on their health."

Court closes Kenosha egg farm:
By DON JENSEN
Staff Writer
Ouah.ty Egg Farm Inc., a $1.2 miltnon· agri-business on Highway 50 in
Bristol, has been ordered to shut down
operations within 90 days,
A two-year court battle by the state
and a 10·year fight by neighbors of the
egg farm ended with the issuance
Monday by Judge Michael Fisher of a
permanent_injunction to abate a pubiic
nuisance.
For years, Bristol residents living
near the egg farm have complained
about chicken manure odor and flies
In April 1978, the state attorney
general's office brought the present
suit :;eel<.ing to end the nuisancr:
F1sher's court order gave Quality
Egg's owner, Chris Andis, SO dsys to
remove the poultry fnrn llw prt·
rrnses, c\€an the her. hnu~es ~nd dis;JO~i~' ol rerrwinmg rn~min- \n ~n 1E10f
!ensive manner.
. $Uality Egg may appeal tile case to
~~""Appeals. If that

happens, a stay of Judge Fisher's
order could be granted that could
delay the ordered shutdown of the egg
farm for at least several months
In closing down the agri-busmess,
Fisher stressed in his decision the
uniqueness of the circumstances. He
noted specifically that "the egg farm
situation is far different from the
average farm in the Bristol area or
throughout Kenosha County."
Area farmers had expressed con·
cern at earlier hearings that shutting
down tlie egg farm because of an odor
problem could establish a precedent
that could have an adverse impact on
·•every segment of agricultural en·
terpri~e."

Quality Egg began operations in
1967 with &0,000 hens Over the vears,
tl\c operatwn increa8ed to a packing
l:m!St, feed mill and ~even lay1ng
hou~es for J4G,OW bints. Tire farm

adjoining fie!ds
Neighbors complained -~t~-

!arly during the summer months, the
stench was unbearable a half-mile or
.more away.
A hearing was held in November
1978 on the state's motion for a
nuisance abatement injunction. In
February 1979, Judge Fisher found
Quality Er . _operation was a public
nuisan~e, but gave the firm the remainder of the year to abate it. Dr
Richard Miller, a Carthage College
professor, was appointed court referee to monitor the situation and report
hi~ fmdings.
A final hearing on the matter was
held April 16
After studying MiHer's report and
additional testimouy, Judge Fisher
handed down his written decision.
Fisher expre~sed his belief tba tit ls
"'~aghly doubtf\11 that these problems
can ever be overcome .

In his decision granting the injunction f!rst sought two years ago by the
state Attorney General'\! otflce, Judge
~'isher said hf' doubted the odor pwbl.em could be overcome.
"It would be unreasonable." the
deC'iswn noted. '"to require the resi"

In that case, Jewett vs. Dearborn
Enterprises, the Oregon court
weighed comparative injury to the
business and to neighbors and found
for the residents. The Oregon court
insisted that there be "substantial
interference in the day-to-day use and
comfort of their residences" and that
the only way the neighbors could avoid
it was by moving. In such ca!es, the
court held that the harm to the neigh·
bors was greater.
Judge Fisher said the Jewett call€
was "closely aligned" to the Quality
Egg stluation.
"The

Konicek represents Chris Malls,

Judge Michael Fisher this week

insect problems tb.at have existed for
a decade or more, acoording to complaining neighbors.

Aralis, operator of the egg farm
smce 1967, today said he was ''kind of
surprised" at Judge F1sher's order
s1nC'e he had "spent a lot of money in
the last year" to try to correct the

'.' ---··

He added, "The family farm and
farming are very important to our
society, but just as in everything else,
flagrant abuse eventually must be
dealt with. It should be clear that the
egg farm situation is far different
from the average farm in the Bristol
area or throughout Kenosha County.
The average fann is a family fann, it
is a farm which existed long before
any residential development, and
neighbors are not clustered together
and are not so close to farm buildings
as is true at the egg farm."
Judge Fisher noted that over two-thirds of the neighbors were there
before the egg farm came in 1967.
"This is a situation for the most
part where the nuisance came to the
neighbors, not vice versa "

A petition for a writ of mandamus

against the Bristol Town Board was
quashed Friday by C!rcult Judge
Earl D. Morton on a motion by the
town's attorney.
The petition had been sought by
Photography Studio, Inc., and Its

forcing the town board to grant a
building permit to remodel a portion
of a building at 9310-9320 !20th Ave.,

Town attorney Jon Mason moved
to have the petition Quashed on the

BRISTOL - "They should have
been here Sunday," said Russell
Mott, whose Bristol farm adjoins the
Quality Egg Farm Inc.
On Monday, a cool and breeey day,
about 3G area farmers and representatiVes of ~tate agencies and farm
organizations toured the $1.2 million
agrt-bustness on Highway 50 for a
first-hand look- and smelL.
In early May, Judge Michael
Fisher, acting on a state Department
of Justice suit flied two ~ears ago,
ordered the closing of the controversial egg producing firm owned
b~ Chicagoan Chris Ara\!s. In grantmg the permanent injunction as a
public nuisance, ttlt judge agreed

became aware of "an odor

whch is unbearable" coming from the

farm.
His fight against tho:> odor illustrateS
<'nc of the most perp]e)(ing problems
any environmental agency can enrouoter. It involves competing claims
to pro?erty rights and demands for
r~gulation of a phenomenon which
everyone agrees is there, but which
c~rmd l:te measured or captured.
Floom and ~orne of his neighbors
s~;d they did not notice the odor when
tJ·,n· bought their homes becaute it

subject to the wind.

c~ncekd and persons with asthma
1Hn-r sufJered because of Jt.
F!r.om has complained frequently to
the VerDon Hills Pollee Department,
the Lake County Health Department,
the Illinois Environmental Protection
A;:;rncy. and the Illinois Pollution Contrnl Board,
Aithough the police chief said the
egg farm "certainly precedes the vi!lage." Floom contends that it "doesn't
belong ln this community." The farm
is owned by the CUneo family.
Spckesmen for some o[ the agencies
re~~l\·ing the complaints say the issue
not be solvable the way Floom
his neighbors hope.
THE PROBLEM is threefold: Which
cam2 fin;t, the egg farm or the neigh.
bc-r:': Can an egg farm be realistically
opera~ed without odor~ And how can
an <>dec he measuted to take it to

the thousands of chickens. The dro~
pings fall to the floors of the chicken~·
houses. They are scraped into a hold- 1
ing t.~nk and then periodically pumped !
out and spread o'nto 1,000 acres as
fertilizer for the corn that is fed to the
chickens.
According to Leonard McGee the
lawyer for the farm, _odor reta;dant
chemicals are put m the holding
tanks. When the chicken manure is
spread in the fields, it is buried immediately by a tractor-pulled disk.
MRS. EVA BARNAS, Floom's next
door neighbor, said the odor does not
smell like human waste to her. She
described it as "a musty odor, very
foul, like when ]!air burns or feathers
burn, combined with a dead smell."
"I think perhaps they burn_ things,"
Mrs. Barnas said. She said the odor
occurs only about three nights out of
seven. I[ the odor came from chicken
droppings, "it would be all the time,"
she said.
Mrs. Barnas said her parents own a
farm in southern lllinois which has 200
chickens. "The odor here is not the
same,'' she said.
Pohce Chlef Larry Laschen has
another- description, which illustrates
the problem of measuring odors. He
descnbed it as being hke rotten eggs.
This is not the first controversy involving National Melody Farm. Eight
years ago, the Illinois EPA charged
the farm with opHating an incinerator
to burn dead chickens illegally and
operating a manure dryer illegally.
The Illinois Pollution Con!.rol Board
ruled ·that tl1e farm should be fined
and shut down. In 1975, the state Appel!ate Court overturned that ruling.
The state Supreme Court eventually
fined the farm $3,000 but let it stay
open.
As a result of that case, attorney
McGee said, the incinerators have
been adjusted and approved by the
EPA. The manure dryer is no longer
used, he said.
One reason the Supreme Court allowed the farm to stay open was "how
long we've been there," McGee said.
He agreed that the farm may smell
sometimes. "I don't think there's any
question that when you've got a lot of
chickens, you're going to have manure ,

and looked through the me on tbe
case.
Among the more interesting items
was the report of Prof. Richard Miller of Carthage College here, who
was appointed a referee to investigate the alleged egg farm odors.
Miller, chairman of the Geography
Department, approached his job in a
very workman-like manner. He
termined that he would go to
different points in the egg farm
cinity once or twice each week over
a period of nine months. ln describ·
ing a typical stop, Miller said he
would "walk upwind from my auto

He said the problem is what the
chicken feed produces.
A year ago, Floom bought a new
house in a new section of Vernon

HilL~

in Lake County. Five hundred yards
north of Floom's house, acros; a field,
is the National Melody Farm Fresh

Egg Co., home to several hundred
thousand chickeus. The farm has be;;n
there for decades.
Soon after moving into his home,

Floom became aware of "an c

farm.
His fight against the odor illustrates
one of the most perplexing problems

counter. It involves competing claims

Floom has complained fre{]U<>ntly lo

The neighOOrs, it seems, do not

Bill Stokes
those cattle tanks and it will
bring tears to your eyes and make
you weak in the knees. Apparently the matter of proximity and
long duration enters into the
chicken smell case here.
The merits of this ca:se are ob·
viously beyond the scope of this
column, but that has never been a
reason for avoiding a subject before and it won't be In this instance. A ~olumn, you know, is
that journalistic structure that
allows you to get In over your
head and to be as ont.'-sided as
you choose.

there, and that's

g~ing

to have an

odor," he said.
"I don't know that I would want to
build a house next to an egg farm.''
FLOOM TOOK HEART

re~elllly

when he heard that a Wisconsin judge
had ordered an egg farm shut down
bec<>.use it was a smelly nuisance.

However, Judge Michael Fisher said
~

key factor in his decision to shut

down the Quality Egg Farm at Bristol
in Kenosha County was that "the nui~ar.ce came to the neighbors, not the

neigb.b()rs to the nuisance." The egg
farm had established itseU in an area
that was already settled.
The judge cited as precedent a case

another state in which "a hog fann
moved into a residential neighbor·
hood" and was e\·entually closed down
as a nuisance.

i,;

Floom, who has organized his neigh-

lmrs to complain to the police, is or·
ganizing them again to tell thetrstories to the EPA and the Pollution
Control Board. "We are not getting
help from the EPA" is the mildest
; Floom has to say about that
agency.
The EPA does not believe the prob·
lem is as serious as Floom contends.
Sy Levine of. the EPA said he and
his colleagues have received a barrage of phone calls from Floom and 1n
response have $ent agents to the egg
farm many times.
Three weeks ago, Levine said, he
sent a man to Vernon Hills at 1 a.m. to
check on an odor complaint. Levine
said his agency has persuaded the
farm to im'prove housekeeping under a
voluntary wmpliance program and
the agency is checking the situation
regularly. He doubted that a lawsuit,
which F!oom wants, would be suc-

cessful.
"The attorney general would handle
the case. They're so swamped, it

accept the case, which I rather doubt,
based on this evidence," Levine said.
He said the state Supreme Court has
ruled· in favor of a foundry, WeDs
Manufacturing, in Skokie, which had
been accused of releasing odors that
were annoying and allegedly danger·
ous. The reasoning was that the found·
ry was present long before the residents who complained about it.
Levine doubts the egg farm odors
present a danger to health. Thomas
Medved, acting environmental health
dire<:tor for the Lake County Health.
Department, agrees.
Medved said. his agency "has not
been able- to document that anyone
bas been made ill by this,"
Both. Medved and Levine said an
egg farm probably could not operate
without some odor, so the question
becomes how much is reasonable.
"You can't put a bubble over jt,"
.Levine said.
COMPLICATING THE $1tllatlnn l3
the Mundelein sewage treatment
plant, which lies upwind of the egg
farm. McGee said the egg farm may
be blamed for some of the odor !rom
the sewage plant.
Floom calls that an evasion. He also
doubts the worth o(the ·EPA's volun·
tary compliance program beeause no
one knows what might be occurring at
the egg farm when the EPA is not
there, which is most of the time,
Police Chief Lallchen came to the
village 6'/o years ago, a year and a
half after the original odnr controversy.
"I didn't receive any complaints
about odor until a year or a year and
a half ago," he said. ''Then people
started moving into. the new section
(of Vernon Hills) and having picnics
in their yards.
"The :!mell drives them inside. It ls

Charmglow from Arkla Industries,
Charmglow's largest competitor In

pany is making plans to sell Its
products through discount depar't·

ers to put their private labels on
Charmglow products.
"We have succeeded in getting
Montgomery Ward & Co, to put tbe!r
label on our bug killers," Fox said.
"We are going down road~ that we
have not previously gone down."

The people living near the egg manufacturing
plant in Brist,ol have my deepest sympathy and
~upport. No one should have to suffer what you
have for another man's profit. The patience and
law-abiding manner that you have shown for the
last 10 years should be rewarded and congratulated. The fact that your town board has been no
help at all, and if anything has favored the egg
plant. makes you wonder, because the only other
tCS!d.,nt in favor of the egg plant is getting free
manure. Your 10-year fruitle3s struggle in the
proces~ of law is a prime example of the large
decay in our American system.

because they are two <:ompletely different
operations.
l do have a solution for your problem and any
like it elsewhere. First, m'ake all such eggproducing plants move to the desert and wilt the
cactus or close down their operation.
Second, let the price of eggs rise up in

profitable for the farmers to raise chicken& for
egg~ once again in the manner for which it WM
intended.
We will all be the gainers because there w111

wlll be shared by many more and the public will
be getting better tasting and healthier eggs.

Our courts of law are destroying the very
wstem for which our country was founded. The
only protection of libertie~ and civil rights in our
courts today are all for the wrong people. The
loopholes in Uw law are there to protect the
guilty, not the innocent.
I honestly can't see how any moral, honest
patnotlc American citizen in this day and age can
~it on the bench as a judge or work as a lawyer.
When these people take oaths to uphold justice
ornd tell the truth, their tongues should fall out.
Getting back to the egg plant, I wonder if the
people of Chicago would let him move his stinking
plant. to 172 Peoria St., and stay in business. How
does a Chicago tycoon open up such a stinking
operation in Wisconsin and be aUowed to get 3
'year~ in arrears on his real estate taxes?
I'm ll$hamed of any of the farmers that would
liBten to those blockheads fron1 the state

Three divers are obviously pleased with their jumps and are ready to repack and jump again

They're high on sky diving
By JOE VANZANDT

Staff Writer
They come from as far as Chicago,

Rockford and Milwaukee to a grassy
airstrip in the lush farm country ot
southern Kenocha County. Here they
climb aboard a single-engine airplane to be uken b<>tween 7,500 and
J2,5UO feet into the sky so they can
lea;! out and plur~ge earthward at
of 120 mph.

Th\'Y are sky divers, or sport parachut>:,ts, ami thi,, is their idea of a fun
WJy to spend SundJ:\y <lfternoon.
They come.to the Windfield Airport because it ~~- home of the Skyhawks, a fraten\lty of parachutists,

the ground training sessions who
freeze up when they look out from the
open door of the plane at,7,000 feet."
That is the moment of truth, when
the men are separated from the boys
(and the girls from the women, smce
sky diving does have a few female
participants).
"Stepping out on the platform under the wing of a plane Is the biggest
step most guys ever make,'' said Don
Sider, a former Vietnam correspondent for TJme Magazine. "I was
more afraid. on my first jump !ban I
was under a Viet Cong mortar attack. But once l hit the silk, I was
hooked."
Sider described sky diving, expct:mlly free falling as the biggest
high of alL "If more kids would take

ch~e."

·nee most sport parachutes are
des ne<l to carry the jumper forwar at about 8 mph, new parachutists are not allowe<l to make
jumps when the breeze Is more than
10 mph, to prevent them from going
backwards as they land.
"The worst way to land is to hit on
your heels and then be tossed onto
your tail bone by the chute. That's
when the Injuries happen," Trkovzky
said
Because of the extreme care taken
in packing parachutes and Inspecting
them for wear and tear, chute failure
almost never occurs. All sky divers
carry a second chute, known as a
Mae West, for that one time In a
thouS:Jnd when the first chute fails to
open or do-es not open fully

said. ''The guy who waits until he is
atl,WO feet to deploy his main chute
is asking for trouble. If It doesn't
open properly, he has just a few
seconds to pop the reserve chute or
it's all over."
Sider said the one feat all sky
divers have is of going blank and
forgetting to pull the rip cord as they
plunge toward earth. "Up there, it Is
so peaceful and beautiful that you
can forget that the ground Is rushing
up at you. Some sky divers describe
the feeliug like that of nitrogen
narcosis, or rapture of the deep,
which overcomes scuba divers when
they go too deep or stay down too
long," Sider said.
"That's why we wear watches so we know to pull the rip cord at X
number of seconds. And that's why

This i.' also where newcomers to
the sport can talk with old timers,
c~n take in~truction and can make
their first jump us1ng a static lineto make sure the chuie opetls wheth·
er the~/ panic ot not.
Chances are the chute they use will
hnve been packed by Frank
Trkc-vsky, who helped create the
Skyhawyks 1l years ago. Chances
also are that they will take some
instruction from him, too, since he is
n<:>t only a r('rtified chute packer but
an irr·o:runor. And they may even get
a gentle nudge from him as they

problem with drugs and alcohol," he
said. "This spqi't gives you a rush

SKy dlvers a'dmit that their sport
can be dangerous, but they say It
isn't any more risky than skiing,
motorcycle riding or other sports
requiring strength, agility and cool·
ness at high speeds.
"We never coax anyone into the
sport," Trkovsky said. "When they
come out here, they either get ex·
clted about trying it after watching
or they don't. But once they express
interest, I assure them that there is a
greater chance of getting injured
during the drive here than there is in
making jumps."

dangerous moments ar'e when the
sky diver leaps away from the plane,
and when he touches down. "We

Watll to go skiing this summer at
your favorite ski area? Just pick up a
pair of "turf skis" from your local
ski shop and head for the slopes.
They range in price from about $100
to $200 per pair and attach 10 regular
ski boots with safety release bind·

The turf ski !s not as long as a
conventional ski, and has a

skis like a conventional ski, except
that because of the weight of turf

Falling on hard ground instead of

''Fresh mushrooms are a booming
business. The supply is not meeting
the rlemaud," Rose moid. "Ralston·
Purina a few years back poured
mi!llons of dollars Into developing
six mushroom farms across the
country, and one or them Is located
H1 THinois We produce about a quarter ol a m!llwn pounds a year, but
those huge operations Proouce tllat
much In a week, But they aren't
competltlon. Competition and demand are not our problems."
What is a problem Is the dellca~
nature of cu!t!vatlng mushrooms.
Stevens, who Invested In the bu~l­
ness with fellow Ill!nois Investor
Ron Spiekhout, said he never would
have gotten into the business It be
knew six months ago what he knows
now.
"I'm here seven days a week. I
have to be. Conditions can change
/rom hour to hour, and changing
conditions can wipe out an entire
crop," Stephens said.
River Valley Ranch opened In
1975, and Rose said he and his father
are stlll struggling. They've had
good years and bad, "but so much of
our success depends on the weather.
Even though mushrooms are grown

:~~~=~~~-~e:;;_,s::_.s~~~g~1;_~~!

temperature changes, and chances
are any illlle<:t problems won't wipe
out a whole crop," he said.
"Not so With mushrooms. You
have to be a scientist, biologist,
farmer and mechanic, to keep all
the air oondltloners and heaters
working.
Despite those problems, Stephens
says he's excited by the potential of
his farm, which is located on the
former New Tribes Mission site In
Woodworth, off Highway MB.
"We've got 711,000 square feet, and
seven groWing rooms and we're
averaging about 700 pounds a day,
but we really just started full prod·
uction two month ago," he said.
"We'll be remodeling bit by bit, and
reel there Is unlimited potential for
growth because the demand ill
there."

Blll Holm, who operates his fourroom !arm In a remodeled barn In
Wheatland, doesn't want to get any
bigger. He and his wife, Louise
spend 12 to 14 houu a day, seven
days a week, tendlng to tiwlr
mushroom nop.
"We've been produce farming lor
a number of years, but It's only good
tor sh!: months out of every year and
we wanted something that we could
pro!it from a!I year 'round," Holm
said. "We wholesale to restaurants
and commercial dMlers and we
know the demand Is there, but we
also know it's a tricky business. We
average about 300 pounds a day, but
you never know when that might be
higher or lower:·
The three farms use has!cally the
same technique to grow their crops.
A compost medium, usually made
up of hay, stable bedding, com cobs,
gypsum and soybean meat, 1~ obtained at llttle or no cost from local
farmer!!.'", The compost Is cured for
several weeks, then hauled Into a
plllltllrlzlng room, whete the temperature Is ratsed to approximately
140 degrees: to klll harmful bacteria.

Pasturizlng continues for approxImately Ill days, then the compost Is
packed Into planlc bags or trays.
The compost Is tnoculatecl with
mushroom spores and ls.placed In a
growing room.
Temperature and humidity are
strictly controlled throughout the
growing process, which takes about
five days. Mushrooms are then
picked daily for another Hi. Each
growing room Is tilled with hundreds of bags In dltferent stages of
Production.
"Anything can go wrong anywhere along the line," Rose said.
"Just this past spring, when we had
those few hot days, I turned off the
heaters In one of the growing room~
because the mushrooms, at that
stage of growth, were producing
enough ot their own heat. Well,
when I !eft it was 80 degrees. That
night lt dropped clown to 35 degrees
and just about the whole crop was
wiped out."
The ihree Kenosha County farms
also sei! grow·your-own mu~hroom
kits tor $9, which lndmle a plast~r·
bag filled with compost which has
been inoculated wlth spores. Most
home grown kits produce from 9 to
I(} pounds of mushrooms.
"We're seUlng about 100 kit~ per
week, wh!ch js amazing to me,"
Rose said. "It started out ag lt!nd o!
a crazy Idea. And ta!k about JX'Ople
being mushroom fanatks! We've
shipped kits to New York several
times to one man who really has no
guarantee the crop wlll produce
because or the touchy shipping con,
dltions. But he buys them al'lyway."
Rooe said he's talked to at least 25
potential mushroom farm investors,
"It look$ .ucratlve, but It's just hard
work, a 365-day-a-year job wl)ere
every step you talc.e I& critical aru.l

and actually !Ike It, It's the most

Eric Rose said.
"Mushrooms are popular, l think,
because they are so versatile. You
can eat them cooked or raw, in
salads, 5oups or main dishes."
Rose said the mushroom, which is
really a fungus, tastes "wonderfully
earthy" when raw, and "very rich
and full-bodied" when cooked.
"Pf'op!e must love mushrooms
because rPstaurants are our biggest
customers. Mushrooms are also low
in calories, nutritious and in the
growing process are not subjected to
any chemicals," Rose said
Mushrooms, which never see the

The practical application of the rescue

Birds Fly, Quail March in Bristol Home
BY NANCY FOULER

q ~ ~ ·'tv' ofthethesOCJety
first pom she bought. According to Sandy,
fmches breed and nest so well they
can not be. put in with other birds or they will take
over the eggs and 1.he babies, too. Another thing
she discovered about sodety finches and the
diamond doves; both the male and female sit on
the nest togetht>r.

It all started last spring with a pair of diamond
do,·es living in a spacious cage in a corner of the
den m the Walter Reed home in Bristol.
Now there are over 26 birds, and at'least half
of them don't even know they are capb.ve as tlwy
fly freely in the ceiling to floor avUU'Y which
stretche11 across the length of the room
After the doves came a pair of finches which·
Sandy Re11d found so fascmating that she became
hookOO"d on bmis.
"I got another and another," she admitted,
"and when I got ttred of cleaning out all the little
cages, I drew a picture of what I wanted and Walt
built a big one for me."
Golng into the den is like-going into the woods
with birds chirping and darting hither and yon
through the natural setting of brlUlches, potted
living trees and plants. On th11 base, which is
covered with sand, there are smaller plants, tree
stump~ and hollow logs for son Corey·s three
button qual! to play hide and seek and follow the
leader in. EvPryone 1~ intrigued with the plump
miniaturE' quail as they march through the hollow

Thl" birds m the large aviary have nq trouble
nesting because the environment is so natural.
Although none of the quail eggs·have hatched as
yet, the industrious httle hens have layed an egg
a day for 22 days. However, they do not seem tu
be as conscientious about keeping thelll warm as
the finches do, so Corey is keeping them in an
incubator now, hopmg to hatch them there.

Paris landfill
expansion plan
By JAMES ROHDE
Stan Writer
The Department of Natural Resources has cleared the way for
Waste Management of Wisconsin,
Inc., to proceed with plans for expanding the landfill on Highway K,
east of U.S. Highway 45, in the Town
of Paris
The decision, dated Sept_ 9, determined the site feasible as a solid
waste disposal facility for the proposed design capac!ty subject to
conditions
Gene Mitchel!, engineer, DNR
Residuals Management and Land
Disposal Section, said this morning
the decision enables Waste Management to proceed with submission
of the engineering plan of operation
§tnce the engineering plan was
completed last year before Paris
brought suit against the DNR,
Waste Management is expected to
re-submit the same ~eed up
the process for securing a permit for
tlle expansion.
Mitchell said it normally takes
three months for a thorough study of
the plan. Barring any unforseen
delay, Waste Management could be·
gin constructing the site next spring
On completion, the company must
submit plans to the state explaining
the construction. A decision on those
plans could take between 30 and 60
days after which Waste Management would be able to apply for a
license to operate the site.
Waste Management could conceivably have a license to operate
the landfill by late summer or the
fall of 1981.
Paris Town Chairman August
Zirbel, who received the decision
Saturday, had no comment today on
the action. He said the town board
wll! discuss the matter with attorney Matthew Quinn.
Earlier this year, Paris sued the
DNR over the procedure followed in
granting prel!minary approval for
the site expansion. The suit contended the DNR failed to properly
notify Paris residents of the pro·
posal.

two"bl'dronm harm' tucked into a hiUside with only a

is, like most converts, quite delighted to show her unique
home and explain the advantages to skeptics.
After traveling '!IS far as Nebraska to inspect earth
shelters, 2 years ago Harold enrolled in a course on the
subject at Parkside where he met a young architect who
was anxious to design and build an underground house in
the area. One thing followed another and the Lings, with
the architect handling the contracting, were on their way

"If we had had a ronV<'ntionul house we would haw

"Another thing." Harold added, "we don't heat the
garage at all and it never got below 46 degrees in there all
winter. I have a minimum-maximum thermometer which
records the temperatures, so I know even on the coldest
nights it didn't dip below that.''
Since he keeps hundreds of house plants and seedlings
growing in one side of the garage, Harold keepa a watchful
eye on the thermometer out there. Not one of his plants

suffered from cold, he said.

Door-to-ceiling south windows from the summer sun, hut
allows the lower winter sun to shine clear to the back of the
house.
Another little extra which amounts to big savlngs in
energy is the unique design of the entry-way, In the
winter, a glass duor slides out of the wall connecting to
removable panels creating a six by three foot enclosed air
lock at the front door. In the summer the door is s!id back
into the~all, the panels taken down and e:~<cept for one
post whi h remains, all is open for fresh summer breezes
to enter t e screened doorway.
The
by 42 foot house with the 24 by 30 foot garage
attached s built into the side of a hill with a wall of
windows facing the south. The living, dining, kitchen area
is on the east side of the building with the two bedrooms
on the south side of a lengthwise hall leading to the
garage. On the back or north side of the hall are the
bathroom, utility-furnace room and a large linen closet.
The garage houses not only the plants which Harold grows
for a hobby, but woodworking tools and the family car.
Harold built all oft hE' shelves, and some of the furniture in
his woodworking shop.
The interiur wall~ are plastered concrete block. The
ceiling is the bottom of pre-cast cement planks covered
with te:~<tured paint. The cement floor is covered in wood
textured. tiles.
The roof is supported by the concrete block wails and
steel beams. The first layer consists of pre-cast planks
eight inches thick, then a layer of waterproofing, a layer of
fiber glass sheeting, then five and a half inches of

Home Sweet Home Is Two Feet Down
BY NANCY POULER
Beatrice and Harold Ling of Bristol feel their earth
sh~lter is ·'as close to being perfect as a house can be.''
Although Harold was convinced years ago he wanted
an underground home and conducted extensive research
on the concept, Beatrice was not fully convinced it would
b<' to her liking until she actually moved in and
experienced it.
Now after nine months in the bright, cheerful
two-bedroom home tucked into a hillside with only a
southem exposure, she is more than satisfied. Indeed, she
is, like most converts, quite delighted t.o show her unique
home and ellplain the advantages to skeptics.
After traveling "as far as Nebraska to inspect earth
shelwrs. Z years ago Harold enrolled in a course on the
subject at Parkside where he mel a young architect who
was anxious to design and build an underground house in
th(" a!l·a. OnE' thing followed another and the Lings, with
the architect handling the• contraclmg, were on th.eir way

to building their dream home.
Construction began in September and on Dec. 29,
1979, they moved in to finish the woodwork and painting
themselves.
After 2 weeks, once the cement walls were dry, the
house seltled down to an even temperature, which, even
when their new furnace malfunctioned, did not go below
60 degrees although the temperature outside was in the
teens.
"If we had had a conventional house. we would have
been very cold with the furnace on the blink," Beatrice
observed
"'Another thing," Harold added, "we don't heat the
garage at a!! and it never got below 46 degrees in there all
winter. 1 have a minimum-maximum thermometer which
records the temperatures, so I know even on the coldest
nights it didn't dip below that.''
Since he keeps hundreds of hDuse plant.s and .~eedlings
growing ill one side of the garage, Harold keeps a watchful
eye on the th.ermometer out there. Not one of his plants

suffered from cold, he said.
Another plus, they agree, is that the floors are never
CDld. With the four· inch reinforced concrete floor set on
top of an inch of styrofoam, which in tum is set on plastic
sheeting over crushed stone, once the floor absorbs heat
the insulation keeps it comfortably warm all winter.
Conversely, in the summer, Beatrice explained, "It is
lots cooler. It never got over 80 degrees in here no matter
how hot it got outside.''
Besides the cement, insulation and the three sides uf
the house being covered with earth, another help for
cooling is the overhang on the front which shields the
floor-to-ceiling south windows from the summer sun, but
allows the lower winter sun to shine clear to the back of the
house.
Another little extra which amounts to big savings in
energy is the unique design of the entry-way. In the
winter, a glass door slides out of the wa!l connecting to
removable panels creating a six by three fool enclosed air
lock at the front door. ln the sununer the door is slid back

The ~(} by 4:2. !ool hoUM! with th~ 24 by 30 tot!l gamg«
attached is built into the sidf' of a hill with a wall of
windows facing the south. The living, dining, kitchen area
is on tht> east side of the building with the two bedrooms
on the south side of a lengthwise hall leading to the
garage. On the back or north side of the ha!l are the
bathroom. utility-furnace room and a large linen doset.
The garage houses not only the plants ¥·hich Harold grows

ceiling \S t!w bottom of pre-cast celnBnt planks covered
with textured paint. The c<Jment fl()or is covered in wood
t€xtured tiles.
The roof is supported by the concrete block wall~ and
steel beams. The first layer consists of jJre-cast planks
eight inches thick, then a layer of waterproofing, a layer of
fiber glass sheeting, then five and a half inches of
styrofoanl insulation. Next. there is a six inch layer of
crushed stone and finally, 18 inches to two feet of dirt. The
Lings have planted crown vetch on their "roof" which
should produce little pink flowers n<'xt summer.
The couple is not sure now to figure how much propane
it took to heat their house last winter because of all the
constructf'
n going on while the furnace was operating,
but, they lao to keep close track this year wh. en they will
also be ab to separate the cooking and hot water heating
costs. The do know though that the cost wtll be low to
heat the ho e. Since they moved in they have used ''not
quite two 300 gallon tanks of propane.''
The Lings had no trouble obtaining a building pennit
as the state has already provided for earth shelter codes.
The biggest problem they have had, they contend, is k>
convince those who do not know what an earth shelter is,
that they do not live like moles.
'"Aman I worked with asked me how many steps I had
to go down into the ground k> get in my front door. He
thought the earth shelter was like a tunnel, I guess,"
Harold laughed.

St. Francis Society
to close doors

By BARBARA COLICKI

Area EdJtor
BRISTOL - The director of the
Society of St. Francis has announced
he lntends to close the operation in
Bristol at the end of this year
"We haven't been accepted by
Kenosha," said Robert Frank, oper·
ator of the animal shelter, kennel,
and pet identification service which
he moved from Mount Prospect, IlL,
to 12300 ll6tll St. in !978.
"We are closing up as of Jan. I.
"The people in Kenosha obviously
do not want what we have."
Frank said he may get as many as
40 to 50 calls a day from people
wanting to get rid of their animals
but very little financial support or
volunteers.
"We have rece-ived not more than
$!,(}()() from Kenosha," said Frank.
"They don't support the Humane
Society, and they don't support the
SPCA (Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals.)"
Frank said the financial status of
society, all the worry, and the
callous treatment of animals hy
people in Kenosha were contrihuting
factors in his decision to Jeav!!.
"People have v~eelingln
general for animals here," said
Frank.
Frank said that as an example, he
just picked up a cat that had been hit
hy car on Highway C. It had a
broken !lack. He found the owners
and "the people said they wanted to
get rid or it anyway."
Another man told him he bought a
new hunting dog and wanted to get
rid of old one.
"He had owned it eight years,"
said Frank.
He said people who are turning
their unwanted pets and litters over
to the Kenosha Humane Society are
wil!lng to contribute "hardly any.
thing" towards their care, and then
they wonder why the Humane Socie.
ty doesn't do more.
"This is not a ploy for donations,"
said Frank. "I definitely will close. I
am not accepting any donations
from Kenosha."

He said any donations from
Kenosha will b'-' rel\Jr~eil
At the time Frank moved to
Kenosha County, he est1mated the
SOS had returned mere than :>,000

"1 havP some 40 cat~ and 50 dogs

Bristol approves
zoning changes
By AHLENE JENSEN
Stili! Wl'lter
BRISfOL ·- The town planning
board Monday approve() a zoning

change for a two-acre parcel on
Staw Une Road
fhe request to rezone the proper·
ty from agricultural to commercial
came from Ralph and Audrey Grad-

man. Lincolnwood, IlL

Rezoning of the land which lies
just east of the Rainbow Trailer
court goes to the town board Monday, Nov. 10, then on to the Kenosha
County Planning and Zoning Com·
m1ttee Nov. 12.
The Gradmans own a 43'-acre
parcel but are only seeking rezoning
of two acres for the operation of a
ceramic business. A building will be
constructed, according to the request, for selling ceramics, supplies
~nd for holding classes.
According to the Gradmans, there
is no manufacturing connected with
the operation--no large machinery
or nmse
Kilns and pouring tables are the
only pieces of equipment necessary
for operation of a ceramic business,
they said. Kilns are approximately
the size of a home washing machine,
and the pouring tables are tanks that
hold about 30 gallons of liquid clay

Many voters . register at polls
I .

By BARBARA HENKEL

Staff Writer
It was a last-minute rush to the
polls for about one out of every eight
voters in Tuesday's election.
That many persons registered to
vote on election day.
Election clerks around the county
complained that the four-year old
state Jaw that allows voter registration at the polls helped contribute
to the long lines and delays Tuesday.
A number of the registrants
wanted no more than a change of
local address, which really doesn't
count as a new registration
Clerks sa1d Friday that they
haven't had time to sort the registrations out to determine which are
genumely new

Seniors Anxious To Renovate Building
BY NANCY FOULER

//

.,

Now that the Westosha area seniors have
been offered the use of the former Bristol
elementary s~hoo! as an activity center, the
members are eager to begin painting, tearing
down wall~ and renovating the building for their
special needs.
As soon as the Senior Citizen's Council,
headed by Joe Czubin can make arrangements
with owner Henry Poplar, on acquiring the
building on county Hwy. C, either by leasing or
perhaps purchasing the property, the volunteer
workers can begin.
Tentative plans include making one room into
a nutritioH ~.ite, another a craft center, and maybe
tear down a wall and combine two rooms into a
larg<' social area with piano, for parties and
dance~.
Another room mny be used as 11
recreation room, according to Kevin Brunner,

Kenosha County Aging Coordinator.
''The seniors probably can begin in the ned
few weeks, work through the winter and finish up
in time to begin operations in the spring," be
said.
The operating costs (utilities, heat, furnishings, salaries, insurance! for 1981 will be paid for
by a state grant from the Bureau of Aging from
senior center development funds which the local
group petitioned the county for. The project was
approved by the county board in August of this
year.
Money to cover the cost of rent or mortgage
payments will be the responsibility of the senior
citizens who are planning on holding fund raising
events and hoping to receive donations,
'rhe senior council has determined that
e)(p\inses of operating the center w'ill be close to
$50,0 a month. As yet, they have not determined a
re_ntal cost or purchase cost.

oq, ~,e,~ks liquor license hearing

By ARLENE JENSEN
Staff Writer
BRISTOL -Attorneys for Checker OH Co., lflghway ,'iO and 1·94, have
115ked for a hearing on Checker's
application for a Class A beer and
liquor license.
The request was heard by the
board last Oct. Z7 and turned down.
Similar action was taken a year ago.
Carl Schetter, Milwaukee attorney, told the board in a letter: "It
is our position that state statutes
require a publiC hearingon applications and the applicant be given an
opportunity to appear at the public
hearing , .. In the event the board
denies the application, it must do so
on the basis that it has some reasonable relation to the public health,

safety, welfare or morals."
"We had a public hearing," said
Noel Elfering, town chairman, said
at Monday's town board meeting,
"but if he wants another one, we'll
have it. But we'll stil! deny it."
Schetter's request was turned
over to town attorney Jon Mason for
review.
Joseph Czubin, chairman of the
Western Kenosha County Senior
Citizens Counc!l, asked the hoard for
money for a council project, the
opening of a senior center In !he
former south Bristol School on Highway C.
Oubin ~aid the center requires a
$27,000 annual budget. A state grant
for $13,000 must be matched by a

like amount of local money, he said.
"The County Board will come up
with $6,000 in cash, but the council
must raise $7,000," l!e said.
On a motion by Supervisor Russell
Horton, the board voted unanimous·
ly to give. the councU $300.
Horton said, "l probably shouldn't
even make that motion. I must be
the only senior citizen west of I-94 to
sit on a town board.''
Czuhin said the center wilt house a
nul!rition program, wellness clinic.
a variety of classes and outdoor
activities during the summer.
A letter from Gene Scharfenorth,
county highway commissioner, clar·
ified county policy on private roads.
According to Scharfenortb, the
county will not provide services to

private roads except under emergency cond)tions.
"It 1s anticipated that the only
services that may be required would
b€ to plow a wide enough path
through the snow to allow access for
fire and rescue vehicles," said the
commissioner
Elfering announced that six meeting are scheduled Dec. 8, most of
them concerning !9Bl budgets. The
town planning board wi!i meet at
6:30 p.m. followed by a hearing on
the proposed use of federal revenue
sharing funds at 7:30. The public
hearing on the genera! town budget
Is set for 8 p.m.; UtiHty I, 8:45;
Utility lB, 9; and the water ut!llty,
9:15.

'Hang-ups' are Bristol woman's hang-up
By SONDRA HORT
Staff Writer
BRISTOL- Take one·half yard of

burlap, yarn, glue and scraps of
carpeting and, according to Louise

Herrmann, Route 2, you can create
an eye-catching wall hang-up with or

without a holiday ~esign
"They're easy and inexpensive,
but the best part is they look as
though they were put together by an

expert sewer- and there's no sewmg inl'olved."

She said response to the wall
hang-ups was overwhelming at the

on how to make them

BRISTOL- Is a metal lawn shed
really a bu!lding? Does it qualify as
a permanent or temporary structure?
The Bristol Planning Board
wrestled with those questions Monday and finally tabled Russell Molt's
variance reque15t.
Matt, 6100 !56th. Ave., asked permission to construct a 12· by 15-foot
accessory building with a 36--foot
setback from Highway MB.
The building is already there,
according to Mott, who describes it
as "a little tin shed that holds my
garden tracwr and lawn ~weeper"
J'he Kenooh~ Lo•mtv Zoning Orc)inlln(~ r<'(jUlfe~ ~

re~l

from a Class A highway. Mott said
the "shed" was installed in a
wooded area 36 feet from the road.
Town Chairman Noel Elfering
said he measured the distance am!
found it to be 23 feet from the road.
But none of that really matters,
accordmg to William Cosenza, planuing board member, until the "permaMnt versus temporary" issue !t
setued
Cosenza said, "If Kenosha County
regulates metal lawn sheds, they
mlght also want to take a look at all
those little teepees the k1ds use
while they wait tor the school bus"
He said the matter of Molt's shed
should nut rome before th<" planning
hoard untU 1he 1ssu~ is set\ied

Mott said tile shed is fastened to
tile slab with eight !I)-penny nails.
"It's a building." said Pitts.
"It's a lawn shed," said Cosenza.
In otber action, the board recom·
mended approval of a request by
Bristol Oaks Corp. to repla~e a sign
at the entran~e to the establishment
on Highway 50, one.half mile west or
Highway MB.
Richard Kewenig, Bristol Oaks
agent, said the new illuminated sign
will be nu closer to the road th.an the
pr·esen\ sign whtch has a 12-foot
setback.

"The best part of this plan IS that

plan. Fred Schmalfeldt was In opposition. The final decision will be
made by the County Board when It

Town Chairman Noe! Elfering
said statutes allow payment of high·

but only when the town can Show
that attempts were made ta collect

In other action, the board beard a
report from E.L. Crispell from the
engineering firm of Crlspe!l-Snyder,
Elkhorn. The firm has been hired to
assist the town in a search for a new
source of water for the utility d!~­
trlct.
Crispell recommended author·
!zing Layne-Northwest, Milwaukee,
to take auger borings In several
areas to determine whether suitable
sand and gravel veins exist.
A report on the borings will be
completed before the town COO·
structs a test well.
Two rezoning requests were OK'd
and will be recommended for approval by the Kenosha Coonty Planning and Zoning Committee.
They include a Change from residential A to agricultural for Lavern

plies and for holding classes.

Florence Druehl, whose home is a
half mile from the planned ceramic
studio, said, "The land has been
agricultural since it was cleared by
our forefathers."
She charged a change in zoning
would be "inconsistent with the area
. it will squeeze out our way of
life."
Joyce Weber, an Illinois resident,
delivered a petition to the commit·
tee signed by both Wisconsin and
Illinois residents objecting to the
plan.
Weber said the Gradmans are
"not considering the neighborh(l{}d.
They cannot guarantee that the
property will not be sold for another
purpose "
Mrs. Gradman said she and her

about two years.

Stave Pringle, an athlete and scholar, is
Central's third top teen of the year.
Steve is proud of his farm background and the
lessons of responsibility that such a ba.;kground
teaches. "I have been doing all kinds of chores
ever since I was a little guy. Helping my parents
had drawn all of us close together." This kind of
experience has influenced Steve's moral upbringing, strength of char!ld.er and academic backsro=~

Throughout his high sehool career, Steve not
only hils taken Central's most chllllenging courses
but he has also supplemented his academic
background through college sununer programs.
Mathematics is Steve's forte. Because of this
he has excelled with ease at all levels of
mllthematica at CentraL Math and science are the
areas Steve hopes to combine in 30me kind of sn
engineering program. At the present time Steve
is seriously considering becoming a atudent at
M.I.T., Cornell or University of WisconsinMadioon. The selection of these schools has been
based on the idea tha.t Steve wants t.o be "in a
ochool that approaches the frontiers of knowledge
in aome field." According to Steve, "My goals
and aspirations a.re not only to eam the highest

•

"'

&eademic degree I am capable of, but also I want
to be recognized and resPected by my contemporaries as an authority in my field.''
Because Central does not offer advanced
placement or many accelerated programs, Steve
feels that he has not been challenged to the full
extent of his capabilities. "Things have moved
too slowly," says Steve. "1 have not been really
pushed:'
Steve's motivation comes from successful
accomplishment of difficult t~~.~>ks, enthusiaatic
people who share an interest in him and from
determinatiOn and self-discipline in athletica.
Hia athletic participation has been limited to
wrestling. This year Steve is the team 'a
co-captain. Art Wolden, the wreatling coach says
of Steve, ''Heis a good captain. He knows a lot of
moves and lle is very helpful to the younger boys
in teaching tllose moves. He works very hard and
puts in extra hours on practice.''
Steve is also an avid reader. Beca.uae ofthis he
has developed a respectable llterary, scientific
and current events background. His school
involvement has cent~Jred around wrestling,

Chicken manure odors !rom
ristol's Quality Egg Farm Inc. do
lt affect enough persons to make
;e $1.2 million agr!-husiness on
ighway 5() a "public nuisance."
With that ruling, the district Court
Appeals Tuesday overturned a
wer court decision and permitted
uallty Egg to continue operations.
A two-year court hattie by the
ate and a IO·year fight by neigh·
Jrs of the egg farm seemingly
1ded last May when Judge Michael
isher ordered the egg farm shut
Jwn by issuing a permanent injunc·
on to abate a public nuisance.
Quality Egg's owner, Chris
ralis, Chicago, appealed the de·
.sion to the district appeals court In
'aukesha.ln December, legal argu·
1ents were heard by the appeals
Jurt panel, judges Clair Voss, Richrd Brown and Burton Scott.
The decision, written by Voss,
~versed Fisher's order.
voss' decision said. "In Wisconn, in order for a nuisance to be
~hlic, the nuisance must affect an
~ntire community,' ... or a 'local
e1ghborhood'
a 'sufficiently

large number of persons' ... or a
public interest. In this case, the
limited number of people affected
cannot be classified under any of the
above categories.
"It is obvious to this cou~t that a
very small number of people were
affected by the odors created by the
egg farm."
T~ decision noted that the
complaining neighbors "may have a
valid cause of action for the abatement of a private nuisance, the
evidence at the trial falls short of
the requisite showing needed to
prove a public nuisance action.''
Quality Egg Farm began opera.tions in Bristol in 1967 with 60,000
hens, but has increased in size to
seven laying houses for !40,000
birds. The farm produces about 15
tons of chicken manure per day,
which is spread on adjoining fields.
The public nuisance action was
begun hy the Wisconsin Department
of Justice in April 1978, alter repeated complaints from persons living near the egg farm
After several hearings, Fisher
first ordered Quality Egg to take
steps 10 abate the odor and fly
problem, then !5 months later, ordered the business closed.

BRISTOL - Bristol Fire Chief
Eugene Krueger Friday night ordered removal of a chain and

"They apparently

It is interesting to note, aays Herman,
that while the number of farms decreased
46%, total acres in cropland did not
decrease. The decrease in numbers of dairy
cows is offset by significantly higher
production per cow. Acreage of small grains
and hay also decreased, as did numbers of
hogs and poultry. These decreases, note
Herman. were more than offset by
significant increases in acres of com and
soybeans.
Value of all farm products sold

according to Herman,, repreaenta a larger

Among the numerous electrical

spiked extension cords.
Rasmussen said he would expedite making corrections. He said
some of the problems could have
been corrected on the spot had the
inspection been made during the
day.
Krueger said owners of estabHshments that violate the law are
given an opportunity to make the
necessary corrections before re.

he sa!d.

residents complaining about the

wanted to see it for myself. I shud·

pened If a Hre had started."
"People will condemn the F!re

said Krueger, "but if a tragedy
occurs the first thing they ask is why

it."

notified of four minor violations of

A target !lgure of $48,000 has been
set as a goal.
The Bristol Volunteer Fire and

THE TOWN BOARD Monday
tabled a recommendation from
Donahue and Associates for a sewer
system evaluation study,
, The sanitary sewer system in
Utility Districts I and lB was subjected to an JnfHtration and inflow
study during 1979 and 1980 to determine the amount of clear water
entering the system.
Accordmg to John Curtis, engineer, the l and I indicated that
mflow from such sources as faulty
manhole covers is a bigger problem
for Bristol than Infiltration of

groundwater..
But, accordmg to Curtis, the I and

Elfering said the Bristol plant is

With a design capacity of 210,000
gallons per day, the plant treats

chlcken manure over lands adjacent to the
farm and the operation of olxhaust fans
located on the <:.hicken houses work to can-y
the odor into the atmosphere and onto the
property of the egg farm's closest neighbors. A fly problem is also created by the
egg farm's operation.
The egg farm is located in a rural areil
which is sparsely populated. The area is
zoned for agricultural purposes. There are
other farms located in the surrounding
countryside.
In the spring of 1976, several residents
of the area near the chicken farm complained to the Department of Natural
R(>sourees about the odors from the farm.
Tlw DNR investigated the complaints and a
public hearing was held. The DNR conclud00 that there should be no abatement order

that although the odors had been reduced to

existed. Other testimony revealed that

Stair Wrltu
BRISTOL - Electors attending
the annual town meeting Monday

~28,000 from its general fund and use
it to purchase a new ambulance.
The motion was made by Horace
Fo~Jer, who said he didn't see any
reason why, with a general fund
Jalance of $136,842.39 as of Dec. Jl,
1980, the town couldn't spare the

)108,712.45 a ye11r earlier.
All but one of the approximatelly
10 electors in attendance agreed
¥ith Fowler.
"This board wi!l take that under
idvisement, but we dOll'! want to

strap the town If inflation keeps
rising and at the end of the yea.r we
can't meet our obligations,'" Noel
Elfering, town chairman, said.
Elferlng said he hopes the newly
established ambulance fund wil\
cover most of the purchase. Super,
visor Russell Horton reponed
$4,274.7(} bas been raised since the
fund was established April 3.
Elfering assured electors that if
anything happens in the near future
to one of the town's two ambulances.
It wqp.l.d-Nnmedlate!y be replaced.
•'But right now it's not needed and
we bope that when one is needed this
ambulance fund wll! cover the
costs," be said,
In other biiS!ness at the annual

StaH Wrlte.BRISTOL - Section 505 of tbe
town building code prohibiting
the construction of a business
that could be considered
detrimental to the morals of the
town will probably be challenged
in court, according to the Town
Board.
"We expect to get sued over
this request for a new adult bookstore on 1-94," Noel Etfering,
town chairman, told residents
Monday.
"We've refused them an Oc·
cupancy permit in accordance
with that section In our ordinances, but we expect that decision to be appealed in a court of
taw," he said.
El!ering presented a petition
'signed by 52 town residents, protesting the establishment of an
adult bookstore adjacent to another already in operation.
At the ·March lO meeting,
Elferlng said the owner of the
(lrst bookstore "!led to us. A man
named Mark L!!tle came to the
town hall and told us he was
going to open a bookstore and sell
children's books and educational
materials. The next thing we
knew he was running an adult
bookstore. If we don't try to stop
it somewhere, we'll have a whole
strip of them out on the highway."
Elfering said he expected the
case to go to court following the
board's decision to stand by its
denial. He said the board has no
intention of issuing the permit.
"We'll just have to see how our
ordinance stands in court," he
said.
At the Uti!!ty District meeting
which preceded the town l.>oard
meeting, the board voted to contract with Donahue and Associates to apply for a Sewer
Systems Evaluation Survey
grant.
The action follows a recommendation by the Department of
Natural Resources which reports
Bristol's sewer infiltration and
inflow as excessive.
Expansion of current facilities
may he needed. An SSES will
pinpoint infiltration and inflow
sources, estimate how much
clear water is entering the sys·
tern and how much can be removed.

appeals hearing March 30.
Elfering told MUsso's attorney,
the suit says, that the plaintiff would
be prosecuted under the ordinance if
he opens the book!!hop without tile
occupancy permit. Musso's business
has not opened,
The suit contends the ordinances
are unconstitutionally vague and overbroad and the dental of the permit
constitutes a prior restraint of protected activities.
The sutt also contends the Town

Board's refusal violates Musso's
nght to equal protection and application of the Jaw. The suit says
the ordinances have not been applied to the existing adult bookstore
operated by Mark Little In the other
one· third of the same building.
Elfering Indicated at a town board
meeting April l3 that "we expect to
get sued over this request for a n~w
adult bookstore on I-94."
\
Elfering said that Little "lied ~o
us" about his bookstore, saying ~e
was going to se!l children's books
and educational materials.
"If we don't stop'!t somewhere,
we·u bave a whole strip ot them out
on the llighway," the town chairman
told residents at tbat meeting.
PetttiO!UI signed by 333 town resl·

ult bookstore
dents had been turned in to tbe Town
Board by Monday evening witb more
expected, according to Eltering.
The petitions support the bo_a.rd's
efforts and urge "prohibition of the
sale of sextJa!ly explicit materials."
In other action Monday, Town
Clerk Gloria Bailey announced the
town will be allowed to issue one
more combination beer and llquor
license based on population quotas.
Bristol currently has seven combination licenses but will be allowed
eight.
Mrs. Bailey said a license Is al·
lotted for every 500 persons or fraction thereof. New census figures
indicate the town has grown from
3,446 to 3,599 persons
Agreements lor the razing o! two

buildings were signed by the Town
Board and Fire Chief Eugene
Krueger.
The documents allow controlled
burning by the lire department of

Bristol board to consider purchase

Electors OK ambulance funds
'·( I'-/ . J.!

By DIANA DeHAVEN
Staff Writer
BRISTOL - Electors attending
the annual town meeting Monday
night recommended the board take
$28,000 from its general fund and use
it to purchase a new ambulance.
The motion was made by Horace
Fo~ler, who said he didn't see any
reason why, with a general fund
balance of $136,842.39 as of Dec. 31,
1980, the town couldn't spare the
cash. That balance is up from
$108,712.45 a year earlier.
All but one of the approximatelly
30 electors in attendance agreed
with Fowler.
"This board will t~under
advisement, -but we don't want to

strap the town if mflation kt->eps
rising and at the end of the year we
can't meet our ohUgat!ons," Noel
Elfering, town chairman, said.
Elfering said he hopes the newly
established ambulance fund will
cover most of the purchase. Supervisor R usseH HOrton reported
$4.274.70 has been raised since the
fund was established April 3.
Elfering assured eiectors that if
anything happens \n the near future
to one of the town's two ambt.l!ances,
it would immediately he replaced
"But right now it's no! needed and
we hope that when one ls needed this
ambulance fund wiJJ cover the
costs," he said.
In other buslnes£ at the annual

meeting, Fred Pitts, bullding inspector, reporl.ed $1,660,600 new construction in the town in 1980.
The total includes eight new
homes, l"ith a total valuation of
$76(1,000·. ~even garages, $40,000·,
seven farm t:H.tild\ngs, $188,100; one
factory tr-1iiding, SlOO ,000; tour commercial buildings. $273,000; 28 remodel"lng.~ aJJ6 additions, $276,100
and two plumbing permits, $23,000.
Total rel'eCJue5 rea!lzed from permits was $5,256.18. Pitts reported he
made 387 inspections.
Fire Chief Eugen'e Krueger reponed the fire and rescue departments mru:1e J36 calls in 1980, 25
more than in B79.
Rescue ~quads responded to 275

ca!is and the fire department to 128.
Krueger said the the department
made 165 fire Inspections and found
303 violations.
Constable Paul Bloyer reported
constables made 112 calls and issued
nine citations in 1980.
Treasurer Dorls Magwltz reported an end-of-year balance in
Utility District I of $2,200.14 com·
pared to $4,281 a year ago.
Utility District IB reported a balance of $4,370.62 compared to $53.71
a year ago.
The water utility budget is $65,842
compared to $.11,433.29 a year ago

"Die young - as late in life as
possible.''

That, said Esther Alexanian. director of Kenosha Community and
Family Health Services, Is the guiding philtJsophy for the agency's
wellness clinics, wi1ich for nearly
two years have been alerting
Kenoshans to possible health hazards and measures they can take to
insure longer, healthier Jives.
Prevention, said Mrs. Alexanian,
RN, is the big thrust in health care
today. Young people as well as the
elderly are being urged to safeguard
health. through preventive meas·
ures.
In the past, she said, hea!th care
was directed towards thoc person's
illness

New dentirtgives office tours

..

BRUSHING UP ON TOOTH CARE Joyce Noble, member of Brownie troop

touring Dr. Kaminsky's dental office,
demonstrates prope; brushing_of teeth.

A dentist should offer more to the
community than a comfortable office with
modern equipment, according to Dr. John
Kaminski. who recently opened his office in
the rennovated former Bristol Town Hall
building.
Besides the obvious requ.isite of expen
dental repair ability, a dentist, Kaminski
believes, should participate in continuing
education for himself as well as educating
the community in proper dental care and
preventative measures.
"'It used to be, dentists just drilled and
filled," he said, "but I like to take a little
time to e11plain, show what I am doing and
why.

the importance of good nutrition, he said.
Now that medical doctors are paying more
attention to nutrition and its affects on the
body they are also finding that infected
teeth and gums can cause problems in other
areas.
'Bad teeth ean be the cause of
headaches, fever, muscle and joint pain and
even backache," he said.
Kaminski graduated from Marquette
University in 1977 and practiced dentistry
in an associateship prior to moving to the
area where he worked in a Racine dental
office while setting up his new office in
Bristol.
He and his wife, Janis, have made their

Legrsfature seeks ~~ays to protect farmers
After a circuit court injunction asking for
the closing of the Quality Egg Farm in
Kenosha County, concerns have been
rai!led by the State Board of Agriculture,
Trade and·Consumer Protection and others
&bout side effects of modern agricultural
practices and nuisance suits brougM
against them.
An ad hoc committee of farmers and
representatives of farm organizations,
chemical companies, University E:rtension,
the Department of Natural Resources and
others began to study conflicts surrounding
odors, noise and other "right to farm"
issues.
Over the years, fewer numbers are
farming, which has "Jed to a higher use of
technology to produce more fann products

for us consumers. Farmers are a]ao
becom;ng more sp&ialized in what they
produce. Livestock pmdudion, in general,
has become more abundant--particnlarly
poultry and egg produnion, cattle feeding
and hog raising. These chang<Js, partly due
to competition and other economic factors
in the United States, have caused neighbms
to complain of smells, flies, noise and othe
nuisances.
Farmers, on che "ther hand, have
argued that mBny d the technologies)

The bill also provides for the recovery of

that local authorities use their authority to

This hill recognizes the importance of

Because Bristol's population has
increased from 3,446 to 3,599, the
town is allowed one additional

Jerry Rasmussen, represenling
the Cheese Stop, said he plans to
phase out gasollne sales at the establishment. More emphasis wlii be
placed on the restaurant, he said.
· Supervisor Russell Horton noted
there are already two combination

one at Howard Johnson's and the
other at Rasmussen's Brat Stop.
Joseph Cwbin, a town resident,
said, "Just because the town has

The SSES involves an Intensive

Current law provides little defense for

bill has been introduced to exempt farmers

Under the bill. as recently amended, a
farmer cannot be forced tq stop practices
alleged to be a nuisance unless the practice
is a threat to public safety and health.
Restitution in other cases may be made by
paying damages.
The bill provides that nominal damages
may be paid if the complainer moved to the
area of nuisance, rather than having the
nuisance start after the complainer has set
up residency. Nominal damages can also be
awarded if the agricultural practice has not
changed in si~e. location and manner since

A preliminary Injunction has been
issued ordering the Town of Bristol
grant an Illinois man an occupa.ncy permit to open an adult book·
store.
Federal Judge John W. Reynolds
made the ruling late Friday. The
Town of Bristol has 60 days to
appeal the order or to file a motion
to argue the merits of the case.
Wtthout such action Reynolds' preliminary order will become final.
Anthony Musso, Park Ridge, Ill.,
in October 1980 purchased a building
on the west l-94 frontage road, at
9210.923<1 !20th Ave. Part of the
building was and still is leased to the
operator of another bookstore.
Musso obtained a remodeling permit and made extensive renova·
tions. After they were completed,
the Bristol building inspector ap.
proved the renovations, but refUsed
to issue an occupancy permit on the
grounds that Musso intended to use
part of the premises for an adult
bookstore in violation of a town
ordinance prohibiting the distrlbll·
tion of obscene materials.
The town board upheld the
inspector's decision at a March 30
meeting. Musso at that time denied
that any of the materials offered for
sale would be "obscene."
The !)nard reiterated its position
in a wrltten decision April 11.
MtJSso !Hed suit !n federal court.

Reynolds said In his rullng that
Musso does not concede that the
materials he Intends to sell are of
the nature prohibited bY the town's
ordinances.
Since the town has threatened to
prosecute MU!;SO under Its or·
dinances if he should open an adult
bookstore, Reynolds said that threat
allows the court to decide the merits
of the case.
- He ruled that Musso's- ilitomeys·
have demonstrated a likelihood of
winning on the merits of the case;
that it was improper for the town tc>
use Its ordinance prohibiting t•
distribution of obscene material

Bookst9re ruling 'disappointing'
By ARLENE JENSEN
Staff writer
BRISTOL- "It's a rotten shame
when a town can't have its or·
dinances upheld in federal court '
Town Chairman Noel Elfering said
Wednesday. "The people of Bristo!
are disappointed."
Federal Judge..l!l.hn W. Reynolds
ruled last w~at Bristol may not
enforce its obscenity ordinance
against Anthony Musso, Park Ridge,
!tL In a temporary injunction. the
town has been ordered to iss1w an
occupancy permit so Musso can
open an adult bookstore on thoc l-94
frontage road
The town could appeal. but ac·
cording w town attorney Jon Mason,
"the judge is saying if we intend to
raise the same issues at a trial. he
will decide <'gains! us.'"
Mason said one of the key factors
in the case is the inability of !he
town to apply community standards
in determining what is obscene
"In the past, you could apply !neal
standards, but that is no longer
true."' he said
Recent court cases have held that
a nationwide standard must be used
in determinations of obscenity
He advised the town to draft a
new obscenity ordinance to conform
with the judge's decision and the
current law on standards for ob"
scenity.

IN OTHER ACTION, the board

passed two ordinances - one that
outlaws possession o! a controlled
substance and the other forbidding
the use of alcoholic beverages on
school grounds. Both ordinances are
in state statutes but Bristol constables asked that they be adopted
by the town to allow processing of
offenders through the muncipal
court.
Mason was directd to draft an
ordinance that wi!l prevent parking
in specific areas around the town·
hall. Elfering said citations were
issued by constables only to find
later that "there was no ordinance
to back up the tickets."
The board approved a plan by
Carol Goschy to conduct a survey
during the July Progress Days.
Ms. Goschy described it as "an
informational type survey alluw!ng
the residents an upportunity to give
some input to the Town Board."
Each board member wm be asked
to recommend a person to work on
the survey team.
Tile Town Board voted to set the
charge for extinguishing a highway
velllc!e fire at $150. Following such a
fire, the Bristol Fire department
will bill automobile owners for the
call. If the bill is not paid by the
motorist, the town is allowed to
claim reimbursement from the
state. The vote rescinds an eaq.;;

Bristol irked by,_r~pportionfuent plan
By DAVE ENGELS

Stafl Writer
Tttwns and villages in Kenosha
County will receive letters and maps
from the Reapportionment Commit·
te"e on June 1 advising them of
proposed county supervisory district
cjlanges. Bristol officials have of·
rered the only strong objections to
1ucb Changes thus far·

The redistricting effort is in accordance with state and federal law
following changes noted in the 1980
census. The towns are being asked
by the committee to a!!gn their own

government districts to co_nform to
the tentative county supervtsory district plan.
.
The local units of government wtll
have until Aug 1 to ask for and

make revisions to the County Board
district boundaries. The entire coun·
tywide reapportionment must be
completed by Dec. I when candidates begin taking out nomination
papers for the 1982 spring election.
A strong objection to the proposal
came from Bristol leaders Tnesday
night when the committee met with
town and v!Hage leaders to get
feedback on the plan.
Constable Wil!!am Cusenza said
the proposed districts will cause
greater confusion at election time
explaining the ballot to people.

County Clerk John Collins replied
that the Town of Salem wil! be

visors, one more than is proposed
for Bristol.
"This will give us no representation on the County Board," said Noel
Elferlng, Bristol town chairman.
''We'll have to go to three super·
visors Instead of one or two to get
something done on the county
level."
(;usenza also objected that one
tentative boundary line cuts George
Lake in half and puts persons on
opposite sides of Highway 45 in
d!flerent districts. Co!!ins said minor revisions in the plan are more
than aeceptable, adding the George

Lake boundary can be moved to
either side of the' lake to accommodate township voters.
Fonk reiterated several times
during the meeting that logical revisions which don't hurt the population deviation between districts
wi!i be welcomed by the committee.
However, Fonk said, if one town
expects the panel to change the
whole plan, the town will have to
provide a better proposal.
"We don't pretend to have cornered the market on brains," said
Fonk, "The County Board is saying
to God and everyone else that this
appears to he the best plan we've
got. If you've got something better,
we"re more than happy to listen."
Collins said his staff wlll be aval!-

continued.
"To cut up Bristol for 800 people
just isn't common sense," Horton
said
Another man drew laughter from
the crowd when he said the committee had 10 months to draw up the
proposal, but the towns only have 60
days to prepare a response.
Bristol leaders also objected to a
change in state law which says
towns and municipalities must con·
form their local government boundaries to those drawl! up by counties
during reapportionment. The Wls·
consin Association or County Boards
lobbied heav1ly for the bill which

AGENDA, BOARD OF

} I

A key factor in the case, accor4ing to town legal ad11isors, was
Bristol's attempt to apply community rather than nationwide standards
in determining what is obscene.
The new ordinance, whtch w\"nt
into effect Monday, addresses r.a·
tionwide standards
The ordinance states, in part
"The word 'obscene' shall apply to
any work or material commonly
referred to as hard core .
any ol
which taken a!; a whole by the
average person applying contemporary community standards would
be found to:

Gloria L. Bailey
Town Clerk

-appeal to the pn:rieN interest
in sex,
-portray sexual conDuct in a pat·
ently Dffensive way,
-and, in addition ro findings of
fEet applying ccmtempocary com-

munity standards, thne shall also
l)e a flnding applying umtemporary
national standards thai ~aid materi··
al shall not have senous Hterary,
anistic, PQhtical or ociEMific valuF.

The ordinance defines "material"
a~ an;• book, magazin& npwspaper
'" other printed or wnnet material
or pinorial represeni;l\1011
Any person convlcte(\ of violating
the ordinance will bP fined $100 to

withlr, a 12-month peri1ld could mean
a !me from $200 to $500 r-r· a jaH
sentence from five t0 30 davs. Each
work constitutes a separat2 offense.
Attorney Cecil Ro•h~ock silld persons accused of d0\aliilg the or·

dioance can be tried In in the Bristol
Municipal Co\llrt.
THE AGENIDA for the special
Monday morning session Included a
decision to charge commercial
waste haulers for dumping at the
town landfilL
The board voted to charge Sl per
yard for rubbish dumped by two
commercial haulers who dump resldential waste and materials from
businesses In the industrial park.
"Our cosls have skyrocketed,"
said Town Chairman Noel Elferlng,
''and we have to try to recover some
of it in fees."
No waste will be accepted from
haulers unle~is it is generated from
within the town, sald Elfertng.
Board members agreed to anow
Pat's Sanitary Service, New
Munster, to discharge !!quid waste
from holding tanks into the village

Fire Department were tabled Monday by the town planning commission.
Members oi the department plan
to construct the four- by four-foot
tower, n!ne feet hlgb. near the entrance to the flr<e station on 198dt;
Avenue.
~
County onHnances require a 42foot setback from the street but lhe
tower wm t-.<1 slightly !e~~s than 15
feet from !98th.
The request lists the Town of
Bristol as the applicant w!th Fire
Chief Eugene Krueger as agent.
Krueger sald firefighters want to
have the tower Installed on their
side or the building rather than near
the town offices on Highway AH.
The bell that w1ll hang from lhe
tower was used to summon firefighters in the days before sirens
and two-way n.\(.\\os were invented.
Wi!!!am Cusen1.a, a plMning
board member. objected to the
metb.od used in applying tor per·
mission to erect the tower. He asked
If the town board had taken a pas!·
tion on the matter
Town Chairman Noel E!ferlng
sa!d no action h!H.! been taken by the
board.
Cosenza moved that the matter be
tabled "untl! the town board maket
up its mind about how they want to
do this." Th<; motion carried unMimously.
In other act\on, a rezoning request
that was on the May planning board
agenda was replayed Monday.
Miles Brothers Trucking and

BRISTOL- Plans for a memorial

Fire Department were tabled Monday by the town planning com·
mission.
Members of the department plan
to construct the four- by four-foot
tower, oine teet high, near the en·
trance to the t!re station on ~~­
Avenue.
County ordinances require a 42foot setback from the street but the
tower will be sUghtJj less than 15
feet from 198th.
The request lists the Town of
Bristol as the applicant with Fire
Chief Eugene Krueger WJ agent.
Krueger said firefighters want to
have the tower !metalled on tbel.r
side of the bu!!ding rather than near
the town offices on Highway AK
The bell that will hang from the
tower was used to summon fire.

"We don't want It~ get between tile

The adjustment board tabled the
hell tower request tor two weeks to
give the town more time to discuss
it. It wtll be back on the adjustment
board's agl!nda June 18 at 7 p.m.
The tower issue popped up briefly
at a meeting of the Bristol Planning
Board earlier this week but was
tabled "until the town board makes
up its mind how they want to do
!Jll·. '''·:,: :,.fl'ili William cusema, plan-__

..

The question that has to be answered is where can the tower be
placed without running afoul of
county zoning ordinances.
Fire Chief Eugene Krueger said
Thursday the old bell that will bang
from the nine-foot tower has special
meaning for members of the town
fire department.
It was used to summon Bristol
volunteers to fires In the days before
~trens and radio-alerting systems
were used, said Krueger.
"We want to erect the toWI!t In
memory of firemen of the past," he
said.
Krueger sald firefigllters want the
tower placed near the entrance to
the fire department on l98th Avenue
rather than the town offices atO\ll\d
the corner on 83rd Street
The application to {he adjustment
board askl,!li that a vananu· be

allowed for placement of the tower
14 feet, 9 Inches from !98th Avenue.
County ordinances decree a 42-foot
setback from Class B higllways.
Town Chairman Noel E!fering
told the adjustment- board, "The
project was started sometime ago.
They (tiref!ghters) put a portion of
the tower In, and I told them it was
too close to the highway. They
agreed to remove It, and I didn't
hear any more about it until I got the
notice of the variance request In the
mall."
Supervisor Russell Horton said
the project "has not been authorized
by !he \OWn board."
Cusenza said he opposes the
project.
"There is sutficlent room to place
the tower on the other slde of the
building," he said.

Russell Horton said Wednesday
tile Bristol Town Board will veto

and Highway 50 If it is given final
approval next week by the Kenosha.
County Board.
Horton, a Bristol town supervisor,
has waged a one-man campaign
against the rezoning that would allow construction of a truck repair
facility near the Intersection he describes as "the finest area In the
Town of Bristol."
Kenll!:lba County Planntog and
Zoning Committee voted in favor of
rezoning the land from agricultural
to commercial B and will send It on
to the County Board Tuesday.
If the County Board approves the
request and the town objects, state
statutes provide a veto clause for
the town but action must be taken
within IO'days.
The requeJt came from Donald
Upson, Janesville, landowner, on

Miles said the building wH! be

Horton said the location was
"absolutely the wrong place. I don't

At Monday's meeting of the

aga!nst the rezoning. Town Chairman Noel E!fer!ng voted in favor of
it.
"l like to go along with the

challenging

rezqryf(J.g
By ARLENE JENSEN
Staff Writer
BRISTOL - A zoning change approved last week by the Kenosha
County Planning and Zoning Committee h!l!l been challenged by the
Bristol Town Board.
Town officials met Saturday
morning and voted unanimously to
halt a change from agricultural to
commercial for 11. tour-acre parcel
near the intersection of Highway 50
and l-94.
The zoning change is sought by
landowner Donald Upson,
Janesville, on behalf of prospective
purchasers Scott and Ron Mlles,
Kenosha. The Miles brothers want
to construct a $300,000 building to
house their truck repair service just
west of the Brat StoP bar and restaurant.
The town board'S resolution of
disapproval puts it in opposition to
its own planning board, Which favored the rezoning, and the county
committee, which took action last
Wednesday.
Russell Horton, Bristol supervisor, waged a one-man campaign
against the rezoning. He has since
been joined by the other two members of the board - Town Cbalrman
Noel Elfering and Supervisor
Donald Wienke.
Horton originally said he opposed
the rezoning because neighbors objected to a truck garage at the site,
but Joseph Czubin, a member o,l' tlle
Bristol planning board which twice
approved the petition, said no one
appeared at hearings or submitted
written objections.
At Wednesday's committee hearing, Horton described the site as
"one of the finest areas in the Town
of Bristol ... I don't want to see a
truck repair garage in that area."
County committee member Francis Pitts re~ponded that "with the
number of trucks I see at other
establishments on that comer, I
cannot in good conscience say it Is
the wrong area."
Horton said Saturday that contrary to rumors in the town, he has
nto personal reason for opposing tbe
rezomng.
"My family never had a truck
repaired by the Miles brothers,"
Horton said.
With a favorable recommendation
by Coonty Planning and Zoning, the
petition probably would have received routine approval by t~e County Board which meets Tuesday. It Is
not clear what effect the Bristol
board's resolution of disapproval
will have on County Board action,
Section 59, Wiscons!D statute~~,
says that if a town board registers
disapproval, the planning and zoning
committee "may only recommend
approval with change or recommend
disapproval."
The town board resolution gives
oo reason for its disapproval other
than the statement that rezoning "Is
not in the best Interests in the Town
of Bristol."
"What this proves," claims
Horton, "is that the town board has
the bottom line. If we don't approve,
the county can't make the change/'

Bristo(~ll tower
By ARLENE JENSEN

Staff Writer
Kenosha Councy Board of Adjust-

ment Thursday dented a request for
construction of a memorial bell tow·
er near the Bristol lire station.
Firefighters asked permission to

construct the memorial near the
entrance to the fire station on 19Sth
Avenue, a plan tllat conflicted with
county zoning ordinances.
The structure would have been 14
feet from the highway rather than 42
feet as required
Fire Chief Eugene Krueger. said
the nine-foot tower would hold an old
Ore betlused many years ago by the

department to summon volunteers.
The bell has special meaning to
Bristol firefighters, said Krueger,
and it should be neur the fire depart·

Bristol Board supports emergency center
r.t-"

By Arlene .Jenaen
Staff Writer
BRISTOL - The Town Board
voted Mooday to support Kenosha
Memorial Hospital's plan to establish an emergency center In Silver
Lake.
The Bristol Board will urge a
favorable vote by the executive
committee of the Southeastern Wis·
consln Health Sytems Agency when
that group considers the KMH proposal on Thursday.
SEWSHA's Facilities Review
Committee turned the plan down
111.!:11 week, saying the proposal would
"not foster cost containment, would
duplicate available srvices and not
meet the needs of the community."
"I think It's a disgrace," said
Town Chairman Noel Elfering, " I

,,
'· I
can't see why SEWSHA Bbould die·
tate to us."
Elferlng said it the center Is developed It will not change the operalion of Bristol's rescue squads. "We
would continue to use the Kenosha
Hospitals because they are closer,"
he said, "but It wUI benefit the
communities to the west of us."
Eugene Krueger, Bristol fire
chief, said many accidents occur on
the ''tavern strip on Highway 83.''
Krueger said doctors at the Silver
Lake Center would stabUUze patients before transferring them to a
hospital.
"The term emersency center is a
misnomer," said WU!lam Cusenza,
a member of the Kenosha County
SEWSHA committee. "A per·
centage of the activity will beln the
area of primary care," said

Cusenza, "at emergency-room
price~:~."

Cusenza estimated that patients
of the center would pay $12 to $16 tor
use of the facility plu~ a doctor's
charge.
.
Supervisor Donald W1enke said he
favors establishment of the center
and he urged his fellow board memhers to support the plan. "It's a
baste life support center and the
westernpartofthecountyneedsit."
In other action, the Monday agenda Included passllje of a resolution
that wlll allow the Ken011ha County
Housing Authority to operate a rental assistance program In the town
of Bristot
The aim of the KCHA Is to develop
a program for the "rental of existlng community housing to families,
eider1v persons and disabled or

handicapped persons who are unable
to obtain decent, safe and sanitary
housing."
The town will not be involved in
the administration of the program
but only supports the plan by resolutlon.
An ordinance was passed to regulate parking In speclf!c areas of the
town including Lake George, Lake
Shangri-la and areas around the
town hall- fire station.
Wienke cautioned constables to
"use good judgement, give warnings
first, then tickets."
Board members wlll meet tonight
at 6:45 to review three blacktopping
bids opened at Monday's meeting.
Bids Included White Construction,
Waukesha, $.32,711J; Lange Engineering, Rochester, $38,095; and

Zoning stymied

l

~

BRISTOL- "I shouldn't have to
sit here and be a rubber stamp for
the town of Bristol," complained
Supervisor James Fonk., at
Wednesday's Kenosha County Planning and Zoning Committee.
Fonk. was angered by a resolution
of disapproval by the Bristol Town
Board that stymied a zoning change
approved by the committee a month
ago.
The rezoning request came from
Donald Upson, Janesv!lle, owner of
land on Highway 50, west of I-94. He
S<Jught the change from agricultural
to commerical B, and indicated he
would sell the land to Kenoshans
Ron and Scott Miles, for a truck
repair garage.
The rezoning request was twice
recommended by Bristol's planning
board, but drew negative response
from the Bristol Town Board, which
has passed a resolution of dlssaproval. In June, the Kenosha
County Planning and Zoning Com·
mittee recommended the zoning
change.
Section 59 of the Wisconsin State
Statutes provides that a planning
and zoning committee "may only
recommend approval With change,
or rtX:ommend disapproval," If a
town board has registered disapproval.
Bristol Town Supervisor Russel!
Horton said the action proves that
"the town board has the bottom
liue."
George Melcher, director of plHn·
ning and zonlng, said Wednesday the
Miles have withdrawn their plans
for purchase of the site

ers Monday.
State mspectors were at the
pnvately·owned fairgrounds July 4

. "turned up things that have to be
corrected.''
Such violations as food preparers
working without hairnets, and
free~ers maintained a few degrees
above the standard temperature
were found, according to Rogers.
"We were very happy With the
inspection," Rogers said, "Nothing
was seriously wrong."
"Even a year-round restaurant is
not going to he completely free of
defects," Rogers said.
i Norman Kirschbaum, adminis'trator of the Agriculture
Department's food division, said the
inspectors ''did find a few things
that need correction.
"!can't tell you what they are,
Kirschbaum said Monday. • I
haven't seen the report yet."
A July 1980 inspection revealed
rodent infestation of food booths at
the the fair. Rogers said flashing

those buildings, and doors have been
plugged to keep the rodents out.

craftsman from Edwardsville, Ill.
Ztmpel hu had a shop at King
Richard's F'.alre for eight years. Like
most other slwpown~rs, Zimpel bu!lt the
stucco structure that houses h1s business, He also built the shops of six other
merchants, who lease space from him.
Zimpel and hiS Wife, Donna, usually
arrive three or four weeks hefore opening day to spruce up their complex_
THE ZIMPELS, like other metchants
at King Richard's Faire, earn their living on the Renaissance fair circuit. In
April and May, they go to the Scarborough Faire in Dallas; in September,
they are at the Kansas City Renaissance Festival There are similar happenings in Minnesota and California
and in Huuston.

Zimpels' ~even-week ~tay in King
Richard's realn1, they b;mk in a tower
above thl:'ir ohop. The room ~ontains a

Still, she says she likes the life better
than when she worked a regular eighthour-a"day job. Once a dispatcher for

Mrs. Zimpel, 25, hawks freshly cut

Charles McCauley, a former Madison
Avenue adman, and Richard Puncochar, a former speech pathologist
from Minneapolis, cam!! from Santa
Barbara, Cal., where tMy ~ow live, to
sell dried flower garlands at their
Maison de Fleur, a little cottage with
thatched roof and stained glass· windowa at the west end of Harken's Path.
"It's a pretty drastic change," said
Mccauley, 43, smiling. "I'm actually
what you'd can a dropout. Too much
pressure. I packed up, went west, and
started peddling.''
NOW, BY SPENDING part of the
year making garlands in Santa Barbara
and part of the year travellng to Renaissance fairs, McCauley has created a
business that he terms "soft
capitalism."
Each weekend of King Richard's
~"aire centers on a theme designed to
highlight the hallmarks of a Renaissance festit>al.
The fair opens thls weekend with "His

said, ''Most of us would like to escape

To the Editor:
As yoll an" aware, Bristol Town·
ship residents have gotten their re·
assessment notices As you are
probably also aware, the increases
have been substantial, in most
cases, doubling our taxes_ Several
points we would like to make:
Several of us operate small businesses and have not increased our
prices even tMugh prices for fuel,
insurance, etc. have gone up. We are
trying to do our part to help hold
down inflation. However, with increases in taxes like tl>is, we w1ll be
forced to increa~e our price;. We
feel this is a very inflationary move
on the part of the county, especially
when we keep hearing government
is trying to curb inflation
Even though this is a state law,
we are the only rounty In the stall" m
wtuch th!' county wan.1 nas voted in
the ct'untywlde as~e~sing system
which re<;ulted m the increased
assessments_ We feel this is discriminatory
MCJSt of us receiVed our notices on
Sat .. July 25, while property owners
lEving out of state did not receive
their reassessment notices until
July 27. With the hearing being held
in our town hall on July 23 and 24, it
did not give the taxpayer sufficient
tmle to look into this matter, while
the county had pl,.nty of time.
UpOn receiving a copy of the Rule
and Regulations to Appear Before
the county Bnard of Review, we find
our Review Objection form had to
be returned 'to the clerk of the board
o/ Re>iew "a\ least a week before
the Board of Review hearing" The
Board of Review hearing is held on
July 30, therefore not giving the
taxpayer the required one week.
When we called the Board of Review
on July 23 for our appointment for
tb.e heJring on July 30, we were told
l11ey wer~ not gidng out appointments yet. Again. they did not give
the tazpayer sufficient time
Even though parcels across the
street from each other are both
zoned agricultural if we have less
than forty acres, the first acre is
valued at $3,500 with decreasing
\J.lues on the remaining property.
However. the first acre for the
ne1ghb-or who has over 40 acres is
>J.lued at $1,700. This again is discriminatory.
We feel this is a matter \hat
should be looked into very carefully
Somethmg should b!' done - and
<;Q(ln'

Mrs. Hugh McConville

Lake district change proposed
Memb?rs~!t~h~'!a{e

') -I';BRISTOL ROYALTY · Barbara Kempf,
center, was chosen Miss Bristol 1981. On

"

tmd '"'

BRISTOLGeorge Protection and Rehabilitation District will be asked to consider a mOdification m their governing board at Fnday's annual meetwg.
A petitwn signed by the required
20 percent of the district property
nwners asks that the governing
OOard be change<l from the Bristol
Town Board to a board of com·
ITI\SSwners.
The five-member board would in·
elude one commissioner appointed

by the Kenosha County Board, one
appointed by the Town Board and
three commissioners elected by
property owners in the district.
The petition presented by Paul
Bloyer, Lake George, at Monday's
Bristol ToiVn Board meeting asks
that the change take effect this
year
Bloyer was directed to have Cecil
Rothrock, lake district attorney,
draft a resolution for presentation at
the annual meeting at 8 p.m. Friday
at the Bristol Town Hall.

Bristol resident Richard E. Kislia, 45, charged with trafficking in marijuana and conspiracy to sell the illegal drug,
changed his plea Monday in a Florida court to guilty.
Kislia, owner and operator of D&H Flying Service at
Kenosha Municipal Airport, originally plead not guilty. Assistant State's Attorney Ed Hessinger said a presentencing
investigation wilt be held before Kislia is sentenced.
The Kenosha Pllot was arrested at Flordia's Charlotte County
Airport on April 5 in one of two raids on two air!Xlrts near Fort
Meyers, Fla. About 1,500 pounds of marijuana was seized in the
two raids. Sheriff's Deputies were waiting for Kislia when he
landed at the airport. His plane carried more than 500 pounds of
marijuana.
The 1,500 pounds of drugs, which was wrapped in bundles of
brown paper and marked with numbers and weights of two to
ten pounds, had an estimated street value of $750,000 to $805,000.
Klslia was arrested and held on a $250,000 bond. Hessinger
said that amount was later reduced to $50,000.
Sentencing is expected to take place within six to eight
weeks.
Under Florida law Kislia could receive a maximum $entenr.e
of 30 years and a fine for trafficking marijuana, Hessinger sa1d.

BRISTOL The Western
Kenosha County Senior Citizens
Council was accused Thursday of
being disorganized in its efforts to
build a program lor the soon-to-be·
purchased senior citizens center at
Bristol.
County Aging Coordinator Kevin
Brunner said the group needs to
become mNe active in order to
de'relop a product lor which people
will come to the center. He said he is
frustrated because the council has
shown llltle organization.
Brunner said the County Board
wants assurance that senior citizens

The center is to open as a senior
citizen nutrition site Aug. 26. At
Thursday's meeting, the council
voted to open the center for other
a1!tivities Sept. 22.
Brt~nner said the council's program committee should be meeting
on a weekly basts to prepare an
activity program and get it publlcized. He said the center needs
activities, classes and equipment to
draw area seniors to the site. He
urged all council members to get
behind the effort.
Brunner also said the council
needs to address financial management. inventory and policy questions, For instance, the group has no
policy on whether to allow other
gwups to use the building in the
evening hours, he said.
Council president Joseph Czubin
admitted that a few people have
done most ol ttle organi~.ationa!
work but defended the group. He

said there was mistrust and doubt
among some members that the
purchase would ever take place
Closing date for the purchase of
the building has not been set but !s
expected to be next week.
"When we actually purchase the
building. you watch the change hi
the attitude of this group," Czubin
said.
The council voted to hire Joanne
Barnak as the center's coordinator
beginnitlg Aug. 31. Barnak will work
15 hours per week as coordinator
and 20 hours per week as site manager for the nutrition program at the
center. She will start her dut!es as
slte manager when the nutrition
program begins Aug. 26.
The council also voted to set rent
for office space tor possible use by
the Salem housing rehab!!itatlon
program coordinator at $100 per
month. Brunner said he w!H take
that figure back to the Kenosha

biUty of dredsing the Jake.
For centuries sediment has been
accumulating in the 59-acre Jake. A
1979 report by the Environmental
Research Associates, Madison, says
sediment is 15 to 20 deep in places.
Without sediment, the water
would be ao feet In the deepest part
of lake, the report said.
Any dredging, which was sug·
gested by ERA as a way to rehabilitate the lake, will be very

cottly.
A full-scale dredging operation

State and federal grants are available on large projects, with government sources paying between 65 and
80 percent of the cost, said Cornmission Chairman Paul Bloyer.
The rest would be paid by the 150
property owners in the Jake district.
Richard Helm, GMD Dredging,
LaGrange, Ill., said his firm uses an
auger system on the front edge of a
dredge. The sediment is churned up,
then sucked through a recessed impeller pump and piped to an offshore
site.
Preparation or a dispo5al site is a

from the Jake.
When Lily Lake in the town of
Wheatland was dredged two years
ago, sediment was pumpe<l to a 35foot-deep gravel pit that had been
lined with clay.
Four days a week, muck was
pumped to the pit and allowed to
settle. Clean water was remove(!
from the top once the mucl! had
settled and pumped out to nearby
wetlands areas on weekends.
Helm said once a dre<lging operation is complete, it takes about one
year for the di!i,posal area to dry. It

harvested in mid-July ana will be
cut again this season. District members also voted to contract for two
cuttings next summer.
Bloyer reported that the first cutting removed 16 truck loa<ls of
weeds ana cost the district $3,200.
In other action, <listric! members
approve(! a 19!11-82 budget of $8,500
to be raise<l by taxation of district
property owners.
The group also vote<l to hire a
mosquito control firm to survey the
area and estimate the cost of a
mosquito abatement program.

Solar home to be displayed
A solar system that can supply up
to 80 percent of his home's heating
needs will be on display this weekend at the home of Charles K.
Dunham, Bristol.
The active solar air system in the
sideyard was completed this week
as a sales model. Dunham is the
local agent for the Minnesota firm
that makes the collecter:s.
The in_stallation at 18000 93rd St. is
on the-north side of County Highway
C, 3% miles west of I-9-4.
Dunham's system uses a dozen 4by !(}.foot col!ector plates mounted
in an angle iron frame and connected to a basement rock storage
area by air ducts. Two fans and the
standby gas furnace complete the
installation.

Dunham said the system, th<" flrst
commercial unit of its kind in lhls
area, cost $12,000 but with the 24
percent state rebate an<l newly in,
creased federal tax credit, the pnce
drops to $5,000 and fuel savmg~
should pay that back m several
years.
The system will heat an
old, 2,200-square-foot farm
that Dunham has modified w!lh
added insulation. The unit can be
used to heat new or old homes
Tbe rocks are stored in a 7Y2~ by g.
by 51;2-foot area in a corner of the
basement. Air heated in the 4-inch
thick solar col!ector plates is car·
rled through the rock plle wh~ch
heats up enough to supply heat for 12

hours after the
cloudy weather.
furnace
comes on only alter
the stored
~olar heat is use<:i up
On a sunny winter rtay. the system
not only heats the hoo~\" but supplies
enough extra heat tc> rechan!e the
rock pile in aboui
Dunham said
The collector system covers a 10by 24-foot area in the yard and the
frame lS more than \8 feet high.
Dunham said smaller sedions can
be used, attached d;n•nly w the side
of a home, for instanc<:, ta heat just
one or more rooms
The open house w;!i be held from
lO a.m. to 4 p.m. Satunlay and
Sunday.

Dunham said.
The collector system covers a 10·

Few citizen complaints
voiced on redistricting plan
By DAVE ENGELS
Staff Writer
) . ;:..· . J'i
Tile county Reapportionment Committee
breezed through the public hearing on Its pro-

posed redistricting plan Tuesday with only two
speakers voicing concerns.
With only one minor change to consider, the
stage Is now set for final adoption of the plan at
next Tuesday's County Board meeting.
City Council approval of the plan is expected

soon.

'

The county is charged with the responsibility of
redrawing supervisory district lmes every Hl

years in accordance with federal census results.
The only sharp protest tuesday night came
from Bristol Town Constable William Cusenza
who said the proposed plan !eaves Bristol "with
no representation from a political standpoint."
The plan calls for Bristol to be divided among
three supervisory districts. There are now two.
"No one living in the area will he representing
the people there," Cusenza said. "You would
think that 3,500 people could be represented in one
district."
Cosenza said the plan is an attempt to take
power away from Bristol for someone's political
gain. Political power is being distributed around
the main body of the township's population, he
said.
Cosenza, Town Chairman Noel Elfering, and

Bristol Ip~ pleads guilty

others voiced similar protests to the

"You raised the point before and we stud•ed
it," sald Chairmun Jami's Fonk who represents
part of Bnstol, '"but there wa~n't any wav we
could make the changes you wanted. This
part of any move against Bristol."
Fonk praised fe!low committee members for
the way they have avoided politkal pressure to
accommodate locai leaders
"Now is the tHne for a better plan- if ther~e .'s
one," Fonk said
The additional d1strict representing the """'~t
end of the town was the result of creation of (he
new 25th District. the only brand new district m
the plan.
Earlier, the commi!lee promised a north ~:de
city resident it l"ould consider moving a iX"·uon
or a boundary elther east or west on the eastern
edge of the 5th District
In the plan, that boundary runs south from 2'/tl\.
Street on 21st Avenue, moves one block weH to
22nd Aven:1e aiong Jist Street, and cnntmues
south on 22nd Avenue.
Paul R. O.weU!, 2124 32nd St., said the bound·

Bristol sewers

BRISTOL- Bristol sewef systen'!
will be smoke·te~ted starting today
and continuing for two weeks.
Personnel from Donahue and Associates, engineers for the Bristol
sewer system evaluation survey,
will pump non-toxic, non-staining
gray smoke into the sewers to pin·
point possible sources of clear water
entry into the system.
Smoke can only enter buildings
through faulty fixture traps or im·
proper clear water connections, engineers said. It is suggested that
residents pour water into basement
floor drains in case the traps have
dr!ed out.

fown Chairman Noel Elfering
said trucks park along both Sldes of
the frontage road while drivers pa.
tronize the stores at 9210 and 9230
!20th Avenue. The parking problem
has been aggrav<~ted by the recent
opening of the second store, said
Elfer~ng

Mtlrlred C1gan, a resident of the
area, ca1d she uses the frontage road
every day
"With semis parked on both sides
of the road. 1t is impossible for
persOW' coming out of the driveway
to see other cars coming." she said.
Elfering said the town will con.
Sider an ordmance to ban parking
within 500 feet of the dnveway to the
establishments. The measure would
not apply to other busine%es or
other streets in Bristol.
"'It will be a specific ordinance to
deal with a specific problem," he
S<Hd.

The proposed ordmance would
need state approval befcire im.

signs would be erected by state
crews

BRISTOL ....: A 2 mill tax will be

Bristol Town Board

User fees !or the district will also
be raised.
The assessment iS necessary, according to Town Chairman Noel
Elfering, to pay lor refinancing of
the district.
The district, which encompasses
Lake George, was formed in1972at a
cost of $750,000. Final payment of
$98,000 is due this week.
E!fering said the district also
owes $20,000to the Town of Bristol
Quotations for fmancing $120,000
were sought from several area
banks, but only one bank, First
National of Kenosha, responded.
"We're looking at an interest rate
of 12.9 percent," said Elfering.
He estimated that a 2 mill tax will
mean $100 added to the 1981 tax bill
on a $50,000 home.
User lees that were formerly $15
per month will be raised to $20.

; that the v1sitor can truly ex1 penence the )Jfe of the Renalssam:e, Rob Rogers, fair manj ager said, but achievmg the goal
means work, work, work
The fair, one of a kind in the
mid-America circuit Rogers
satd, IS now in its nmth year. lt
started this year during the
Fourth of July weekend and concludes Aug. 15 and 16. And
though it only runs on Saturdays
and Sundays, those who take the
visitor back in time work for
those moments during the week
and the rest of the year as well.
Thetr living accommodations
are pnmitive by conventional
standards, but those who are
there during the week seem to
thrive on it. Many stay in lofts
above the booths that sell the
goods that the artists made.
Most built the- booths themselves. They cook over open pits.
Others live in buses, campers
and tents, adorned with homemade touches. They, too, prepare their meals without modern
conveniences. The local people

se!! their goods and perform
their acts in the baroque
manner. They appear to be having fun, acting, speaking and
dressing for the mood.
What the public fails to see,
however, Rogers said, is that the
artists have to work throughout
the week to replenish their stock,
polish their acts, make repairs
on their bUildings and a host of
other tasks. During the rest of
the year, they go to similar fairs,
buy mw materials for their
goods or polish their repertoire,
and continually work at their
arts.
"People don't understand the
work," Rogers said, referring
both to the management and
employee aspect "l often get
tlw qt;estion, 'whal do you do nw
re•;; of the time~· and l juq
shake my head. Some people

don't appreciate the money and
time that goes into 1t."
But another reality of the illusion referred to above is that
the participants do have a lot of
fun. They take breaks during
their long days to develop relationships with other workers,
have a beer, pitch horseshoes,
throw a party or just sit and
chat.
Andrea Ristow, who markets
bronze jewelry made by her husband, Harry, said their way of
life at King Richard's Faire
keeps them returning every
year, She said "it's like camping, but more comfortable," but
that's not the only reason they

BRISTOL- Robert Watring's request for !ln extension of his building
plans was put on hold by th.e Bristol
Planning Board Monday.
Watring asked for an 18-month
extenslon on his conditional use permit for construction of an apartment
complex originally approved Oct.
20, 1980, He told the board the
project had been Stymied because of
the lack of available financing.
Watring owns a seven-acre parcel

Av<:'nue, The first phase of the plan

IS construction of J2 apartment
units.
"We've never stopped working on
the project," Watring said, "but the
economy has forced us into an untenable position. We're back to
square one."
Town Chairman Noel E!fering
urged the planning board to table the
matter until the town attorney
drafts a new ordinance for control of
ali future apartment housing.
The rules would Include specifics
on roads, sewers, water, fire protection and stormwater drainage,
Elfering said.
"We'll ask our engineers to take a·

look at the plans and probably reqmr.e some money up fro. nt so the
town do~sn't get stuck for legal and
eng~neenr.g fees,on Pf?Jects that

Kenosha County as part of its countywide sanitary code.
The code says wastewater sludge,
e){cept that from sanitary sewage
tr~atment and food p:ocesslng ope~atwns, shall be dJsposed of 1n
licensed, approved s_anltary land·
f!lls. Sludge from samtary and food
processing sewage, which has been
digested, heated or processed to
stabillze lt organically, may be dis·
posed on land under approved condi·
tions.
The 1974 regulations have not been
enforced previously by the DNR.
"l!'s not that the rules are not
important," said Melcher. "It is
just that the DNR Is understal!ed.
They're happy to have us get involved. We will be doing the field
work as agents for the DNR."
LOCATION OF DlSfOSAL sites
Will be strictly enforced, according
to Melcher..

Bfistol aitct Somers, towns which
operate their own sewage treatment
facilities, recently learned that the
firms hauling sludge from their
plants expect to increase charges
significantly.
The Paddock Lake Village Board
last week met to consider ways ol
coping with higher sludge disposal
costs. In Twin Lakes, diverting the
waste to a land absorption system
could cost the average residential
user an extra $4.50 a month In sewer
charges.
SEWAGE TREATMENT plants
have two products: effluent and
sludge.
Effluent is essentially clear water
with. low concentrations of plant
nutnents and inorganic matter and
only traces !Jf organic substances.
With chlorine added, effluent ls discharged into a river, lake or stream.
More than 99 percent of the wastewater going into a treatment leaves
as clear water effluent. Less than 1
percent reroW-ns a sludge.

ln a major departure from past
practices, the burden of maintaining
accurate records of the disposal
becomes the responsibiilty of the
operator of the sewage treatment
plant.
Accurate logs must be kept by the
plant operator as to the amount and
character of the sludge applied to
various sites. Tests are required to
determine that physical and
chemical properties remain within
limits at the sites. sampling data
measuring the soH ph, nitrogen

when Judge Michael Fisher, af·
ter a long series of hearings.
found the odor "pungent, nau·

of the farm had, for a decade,
sought a solution to the smell and
fly problem.
In February 1981, however, the
district Court of Appeals over·

said that becal!Se of a limited
nl!mber of affected nmghbors,
the farm did not constitute a
public nuisance. Closing the plant
by law was wrong, the appeals
court said.

In March, Attorney General
Bronson LaFollette appealed
that decision to the state's high
court, contending that it flew in
the face of "Wisconsin case law,
by equating the number of people
who testify nt trw! w1th the scope
of injury."

The claimants, in addition to com·

Tons of marijuc:ma stored

Major drug ring operated in area
Th"' Westosha iuea was a focal point for
one of the biggest marijuana .rings in the
Unite-d States, it was revealed recently in
testimon;; following the indictment of three
from the area, and 18 people in Florida.
The multi-million dollar drug ring,
which stored tons of marijuana in a rented
house in Burlington for diatnbution around
the country, provided an estimated onesixth of the marijuana sold in the United
States during its peak years of 1977 and
1978.
Among those who have been indicted
for involvement in the drug ring are John A.
Kramer, 39, Burlington, Ronald Wesinger,
31, Bristol, and Herman Holbek Jr., 31,
Camp Lake, the Midwest organization man
for the ring.
Kramer, described by authorities as a
lower echelon m"mber of the smuggling
ring, has been indicted on four counts He
pleaded guilty Friday, Oct. 2. before
Federal Judge Myron L. Gordon. He is out
on bail
Holbek pleaded ~ty Friday, Sept. 25,
to 12 counts of criminal drug and tax
offenses. Wesinger pleaded guilty to 12.
counts of involvement in the multi-state
ring Both are out on bail awaiting
~enten("ing.

Among those who testified against
Holbek and the others was Donald
Steinberg, the leader of the Fort Lauderdale-based operation. Steinberg, who has
pleaded gUilty in the case, made millions of
dollars with the ring. He arranged for
freighters to carry Colombian marijuana to
points in international waters off Florida,
where the cargo was transferred to his
yachts. The yachts carried the marijuana to
waterfront bu1ldinga in Florida a11d Ml!.sBachusetts, where it was gr11.ded and stored
for pickup by Holbek and his distributors.
Testimony last week indicated that
Keith McAllister, formerly of the Silver
Lake and Bristol area, was instructed by
Holbek and his bosses to use hie mother,
Pauline McAllister, to bring marijuana from
the waterfront storage points in Florida to
Wisconsin in motor homes and automobiles, carrying ~p to 5000 pound lots.

CWU is an ecumenical organization of women who meet to express

includes many farms. Sludge, Perkins said, is considered a low grade

"The only drawback is the heavy

want to watch," he Said.
The county sanitary code was
adopted in July 1980. It has not been
actively enforced, Perkins said. H!s
office Is prepared to begin enforce·

Crawford, a former soil scientist
with the state Departmerit of Natural Resources, proposed eight

Theft and vandalism are major

"We've had people break into
freezers and steal tOO pounds of
' meat. If we don't have security on
the grounds, the whole place would
be burned down or vandalized," he
said,
Concerns about improper electrical wiring on the fairgrounds wlll
be solved by a new system to be

County egg farm
decision reversed
By DON JENSEN
and DAVE SACKMANN
Staff Writers
The Wisconsin Supreme Court today reversed a decision by the district court of appeals and sent
Kenosha County's chicken manure
case back to Circuit Judge Michael
Fisher to resolve.
The reversal again puts the future
of the Quality Egg Farm Inc., Highway 50, Bristol, in jeopardy, and
gives hope to neighbors who have
waged an 11-year fight against the
odors caused by the egg farm and its

disposal of 15 tons of manure daily
from 140,000 chickens.
In remanding the case back to
Judge Fisher, Justice IX>nald Steinmetz, writing the dedsion for the
high. court, said that Fisher should
take another look at the situation
and decide "whether the court st!!J
concludes there is a public nuisance
to be abated."
The dispute began when Bristol
neighbors of the chicken farm
charged that the odor, particularly
that from manure spread on adjoining fields, bad for years prevented
them from the normal use and enjoyment of their property.
After a number of bearings and a
nine-month period given Chris
Aralls, Chicago, to solve the odor
problem, Judge Fisher, in May 1980,
ordered the farm shut down.
The threatened shutdown of the
egg producer has worried farmers
across Wisconsin, who fear that the
pre<:edent of the ruling could have
an adverse impact on aU agricultural enterprises.
As a result of Fisher's original
decision, the State Agriculture
Board formed an ad hoc "Right to
Farm" committee to study how to
resolve conflicts between farm and
non-farming rural residents.
In his 1980 ruling, however, Judge
Fisher noted that thiS case involved
a "nuisance that came to the neighbors, not vice versa." The judge
pointed out a major distinction between the $1.2 million agribusiness
and the average farm.
But, Fisher noted, "flagrant
abuse eventually must be dealt
with."
In his decision, Fisher expressed
his belief that "it would be unreasonable to require the residents
to continue to endure the nuisance
wb.ile (Quality Egg) continues to
look for corrective measures which
are likely never to be found. •·
Aralis appealed the shut-down or·
der to the court of appeals m

reversed Fisher, saying that there
was no public nuisance because "a

It Keeps Kenosha Rolling
(t-)),

\;1

The Henson Oil Co. keeps motor vehicles in
the Kenosha area, and a large share of South·
eastern Wisconsin, rolling.
But it wasn't always that way. When William
G. Henson, who is now in semi-retirement at 69,
first started the business in 1936, his launching
pad was a single station at Benson Corners, the
mtersection of Highways 50 and 45 in Bristol.
Today, 45 years later, the ·company operates
23 units directly and also supplies gasoline and
diesel fuel to other individually-owned units.
The firm also has moved from its rural birthplace to a modern office in the City of Kenosha.
The company was organized with the idea of
providing quality and service at a reasonable
price. Today, It still strives to meet those
quidelines as it approaches its golden anniver·
sary five years down the road.
The Henson family was one of the pioneer
families in the Bristol area. William C. Bacon,
the ~eat-grandfather of the current company
prestdent, William 8. Benson, began farming in
the community in 1860, and was chairman of the
county board when the present Kenosha County
Courthouse was built.
The Benson Oil Company has been associated
with the Phillips Petroleum Co. since jia_ea-rly
years. Hut in 1968, the firm developed its own
shield and began to operate under its own brand
name, Benco, in addition to using the Phillips 66
shield.
"Our first Benco station was opened in Pad·
dock Lake in 1968," said William B. Benson.
"Today we have a Henco truck stop in Ohio,
between Cincinnati and Dayton, another one on
HIO in Morris, IlL, and we're about to open a
new Benco station on Interstate 70 in Columbia,
Mo.

"However, we operate primarily in Wiscon·
sm. We have six stations in Racine County,
three in the Milwaukee urban area and the
balance of our units in Kenosha and Kenosha
County."
It dtdn't take long for the firm to prosper, and
in 1949, when the senior Henson became the
consignee for Phillips 66 in this area, he took
over the Phillips office and warehouse in Kenosha and moved the busmess into the city.
ln-1957, he bought out the Phillips interests_tn
Kenosha, and became an independent jobber.
While semi-retired now, the senior Benson
still has a desk and office at the firm's head·
quarters and remains somewhat active in the
company.
His son assumed the company presidency in
1968 and purchased the business from his father
in 1974.
Today the company functions from offices at
6621 39th Ave., directly behind one of the many
Phillips 66 stations it operates.
In addition to William H. Benson as president,
other officers of the company are Mark Ellefson, administrative vice president; W. Lee
Hucker, marketing vice president; and Duane
Schaub, office manager and head accountant.

in 1975, and today there are six statiom in
Racine County.
in 1968, the company handled 3 million gallons
of fuel, but by 1981 that total had soared to M
miUion gallons of fueL
Surprisingly, the company operates only one
fuel truck, but that's based on good business
sense.
"The rest of our fuel is hauled by other carriers," said William B. Benson. "It cuts down
our maintenance costs.
While fuel is the ingredient that keeps Benson
rolling, the firm also has diversified to a cer·
tain extent.
''In 10 of our stations we have installed con~
venience-type operations in which we sen cigar·
ettes, milk, soda, some motor oH and automotive accessories," said William B. Benson.
The company's economic impact on Kenos.ah
and the Southeastern Wisconsin area is impres·
sive. The firm has about 14{) employees, and it."f
total payroll for the current year will exceed $1
million.
"The company has really grown in the last
tew years," said the firm's president. "We're
going to be over the $40 miliion mark in sales
this year.''
The road to success, however: has not heen
without its potholes.
"There were two periods of shortages, fortunately both of short duration, which curtaUe<:! our
growth briefly," Benson said. "They were the
oil embargo of 1973-74 and the Iran problem in
1979.
"Government controls during the oil embargo
also presented a problem, but having strong
contracts witb major suppliers was a big !.1
"Probably our worst situation occurred
ing the period of government controls, which
were tied to the 1972 base period of supply.
"The controls were designed mainly to handle
the shortage situation, but as a marketer,
became a hmdrance as far as our ability to
with other suppliers was concerned.
' ''As a resulL we were not free to talk to other
suppliers, and the red tape was just hor-rendous."
The Benson Oil president had nothing but
praise for the Reagan Administration's deeision
to lift the controis, which took place shortly
after the president's inauguration.
"That's the best thtng the administratior; has
done so far," Henson said.
According to its chief executive, the Sensor.
Oil Company is happy with its location in KEnosha.

"We always have been located in Kenosha
and we intend to stay here," Benson said. ·'The

The company's economic impact on Kenosab

total payroU for the current year will exceed $1

Benson Oil Company
It Keeps Kenosha Rolling
II ) ) \
The Benson Oil Co. keeps motor vehi.des in
the Kenosha area, and a 13.rge share of Southeastern Wisconsin, rolling.
Hut it wasn't always that way. When William
G. Benson, who is now in semi-retirement at 69,
first started the business in 1936, his launching
pad was a single_st.at.iea- at Benson Corners, the
mtefsection of Highways 50 and 45 in Bristol.
Today, 45 years later, the company operates
23 units directly an~ a~:S<! supplies gasohne and
diesel fuel to other tndtvtdually-owned umts.
The firm also has moved from its rural birthplace to a modern office in the City of Kenosha.
The company was organized with the idea of
providing quality and service at a reasonable
price. Today, it still strives to meet those
quidelines as it approaches its golden anniversary five years down the road.
The Benson family was one of the pioneer
families in the Bristol area. William C. Bacon,
the ~t-grandfather of tile current company
president, William B. Henson, began farming in
the community in 1860, and was chairman of the
county board when the present Kenosha County
Courthouse was built.
The Benson Oil Company has been associated
with the Phillips Petroleum Co. since its early
years. Hut in 1968, the firm developed its own
shield and began to operate under its own brand
name, Benco, in addition to using the PhiHips 66
shield.
"Our first Benco station was opened in Pad·
dock Lake in 1968," said William B. Benson.
"Today we have a Benco truck stop in Ohio,
between Cincinnati and Dayton, another one on
1..00 in Morris, IlL, and we're about to open a
new Benco.station on Interstate 70 in Columbia.
Mo.

"However, we operate primarily in Wisconsin. We have six stations in Racine County,
three in the Milwaukee urban area and the
balance of our units in Kenosha and Kenosha
County."
It didn't take long for the firm to prosper, and
in 1949, when the senior Benson became the
--~~'""'""""" f"'"" Phillin"- 1\fi in this area. he took

in una, and today there are six stations in
Racine County.
In 1968, the company handled 3 million gallons
of t"ue!, but by 1981 that total had soared to 34
million gallons of fuel.
Surprisingly, the company operates only one
fuel truck, but that's based on good business
sense.
"The rest of our fuel ts hauled by other carriers," said William B. Benson. "It cuts down
our maintenance costs ·'
While fuel is the ingredient that keeps Benson
rolling, the firm also has diversified to a certain extent.
"In 10 of our stations we have installed convenience·type operations in which we sell cigarettes, milk, soda, some motor oil and automotive accessories," said William B. Benson.
The company's economic impact on Kenosah
and the Southeastern Wisconsin area is impres~
sive. The firm has about 140 employees, and its
total payroll for the carrent year will exceed $1
million.
'The company has really grown in the last
lew years,·· said the firm·s president. "We're
going to be over the $40 million mark. in sales
this year."
Th€. road to success. however; bas not been
without its potholes.
.. There were two periods of shortages, fortun*
ateiy both oi" short duration, which curtailed our
growth briefly," Henson said. "They were the
oil embargo of 1973~71 and the Iran problem in
1979

"Government controls during the oil embargo
atso presented a problem, but having strong
contracts with major suppliers was a big help.
"Probably our worst situation occurred during the period of government controls, which
were tied to the 1972 base period of supply.
·'The controls were designed mainly to handle
the shortage situation, ~ut as a m~r-~~~:: ~':!,

William B. Benson, president of Benson OH Co., believes Kenosha's strategic location and his firm's
efforts to match. products and services with market demand have contributed to Benco·s success and

j.A.S'·lfl
BRISTOL - The town planning
board Monday recommended approval of a variance request sought

State funding· po~ible for Lake George project
By ARLENE JENSEN
Staff Writer
BRISTOL - AlthOugh federal

funds for lake rehabilitation
projects have dried up, state money
15 still avatlahle, Richard Wedepohl

told Lake George residents Friday.
Wedepohl, of the Department of
Natural Resources, said the max\mum anout1t allowed by the state is
$230,000 or 80 percent of the project
cost, whichever Is less.
Wben members of the Lake
George Protection and Rehab!lltatlon District met last August, they
auth?rlted their commissioners to
study the possibility of dredging the
118-acre Lake Ge<~rge.
Wedepohl said Friday "dredging

of DNR, agreed to m~t with lake
"I can't see dredging at this time,

not in this economy," said Eugene
Adamski, a resident of the lake
district. "I don't think there are
enough people In attendance to get a
true representation."
Adamski said, "We ought to put
the dredging project on a shelf and
forget about it."
Others in the audience complained that weed harvesting done
during the pa11t summer had only
aggravated a weed problem.
One resident said he had not had
weeds on his beach In 12 years until
after a district-sponsored weed
harvest In early July.
"I've never seen my property
worse," be said.
O'Reilly satd the common meth-

ods for fighting aqualic Weeds InClude dredging, harvesting or ap..
Pllcations of chemical sprays.
"The advantage of chemical
spraying Is that the weeds are
gone," he said. "The disadvantage
is that we don't understand yet what
the long-term effects will be."
According to O'Reilly, all
chemical~ used in lake spraying l5
years ago have been banned and
replaced with others.
"We feel harvesting ts the most
beneficial over the long run," said
O'Reilly. "You remove the plants
rather than have them sink to the
bottom to decay and cause more
sediment."
Wedepohl said he works with 130

lakes In southeastern Wisconsin and
"more lakes are going toward
harvesting.''
According W Wedepohl, harvesting is not effective if only done
occasionally. Lake districts that embark on intensive harvesting pro.
grams have reported a lower rate of
regrowth, he said.
Paul Bloyer, Lake George commissioner, said the district has contracted for 100 hours of cutting
during the summer of 19112.
Last summer, .fO hours of cutting
yielded 16 truckloads of weeds and
cost the Jake district $3,200.
Bloyer said residents can e)[pect
the weeds to be cut ln early June and
again in August.

Earlier estimates by Godfrey
were that the Wisconsin Fund would

Bristol users would pay a proportionate 20 percent l;l! the cost, englneers said.

$32 user fe<"?" asked

Supervisor Terrence Rice.
Godfrey said an additional 200
units could lower the charge by $10 a
month.
Jay Van Daa!wyk, 7157 !!15th Ave.,
said he has been a resident of the
utility district since it started 15
years ago.
"They told us when users Increased, the fee would go down. It
was a lie. Fees have never gone
down. I think you are falsifying it by
telling people the lees will go
down," said Van Daalwyk.
Crispell said additional U!!ers
would have brought rates down If
maintenance and operating casts
had not gone up.
Edward Bobat, Pleasant Pmlrle,
charged that the Bristol interceptor
would be ol no benefit to Pleasant
Prairie users.
Crispell said that although Pleasant Prairie would not benefit direct-

ly from the Interceptor, It would
provide the district with the ability
to grow and develop.
Crispell said, "Sewer D Is over·
loaded today. You would have to
expand even If you don't add a new
customer."
Terry Lovell, River Oaks Subdivision, said, "When Sewer D went
in, we were told sewer costs would
go down. We were told the water
costs would go down when more
people hooked up. It tripled. With
inflation, It can go much hlgber."
James Fonk, River Oaks, a Pleasant Prairie plan commission mem.
ber, said the present users are being
asked, IDlfalrly, to pay for future
sewers.
Fonk said \ll!ltead of dividing the
cost by the pre!ient 600 units, lt
should be divided by the projected
number of users.
"We have already paid our dues. I

object to the plan tor us to again pay
for tbe lncre!l!led capacity of the
system so somebody else can use it.
Those who will use it In tbe future
should pay the balance of the cost,"
said Fonk.
"Do we get a chllnce to vote on
it?'' Mked a man In the audience.
Crispell sa!d the Town Board Is
responsible for approving the
project.
"What good Is our lnput?" asked
Mrs. Lovell.
Wruck said J,he Town Board will
take action on the project at one or
tts two regular January meetings
He said residents may make writ·
ter1 comments on tbe project untll

"What's happening doesn't appear to

The 44-year-old Fox Is the boy
wonder of the gas grill industry.
In two short years at Charmglow
he has taked a company that was
buried in old-fashion marketing
plans with declining sales and
market share and turned It
around.

And Charmglow had a share of
the market to lose. In 1975, it was
the number one sel!er of gas

The lack of Interest by the gas
utilities also led to the Increased
use of propane-fired grills, al·
lowing them to be put on wheels
and be moved around. Ninety
percent of the market today, Fox
said, is in moveable, propane

With Cbarmglow on the decline, Beatrice executives
reached out to a Charmglow
competitor - Arkla Co. - to
find Fox. All the Ohio State-

We have one ot the best work
forces in the country. And I've

Another reason for
Chramglow's recent resurgence,
Fox said, is Its updating of its
product llne. The company spent
$1.5 million to redesign its grill
line and retool its production
facilities. The company has also
put Inventory and stock on computer.
"Our productivity is high,"
Fox said. "We used to be able to
put out 350 grills a day with one
shift. Today, we're bullding 1,000
a day with one shift."
Bug kHlers are also being built
at a rate of 1,000 a day.

As good as Charmglow's fig·
ures look Uke now, Fox is conf1·
dent they will get better ln the
future.

Eighty percent of all American households own a charcoal
grill, Fox said. Charcoal grill
sales will be about 10 million this
year, he said. Each and every
0r1e of th'em is a potential gas
grill customer, he said.
Only 12 percent of the homeowners have gas grills in the

"This year for the first time
ever revenues in the gas grill
industry surpassef) those of the
charcoal grill industry," he said.
He expects 1.5 million gas
grills to be sold this year. By
1985, industry experts expect
sales to hit three million.
"If we hold our market share
we'll have about 20 percent, or
600,000 grills," Fox said. "And
600,000 units out of this place Is a
lot of anything."
Fox admits that Charmglow is
a high·ticket Item, out of the
range of many backyard cooks.
But be does not apologize for
that.

"The most popular gas grill
sells for about $99," he said.
Charmglow's average sale ts
about $2SO. "We don't even bul!d
one for that and we're not go!ng

Selling gas griils and elec·
tronic bug killers is a seasonal
business, Fox admits. The com·
pany closes down for abo\lt six
weeks during the summer
months. There is no plan, he
said, to add another product line
to pick up the slack.
Instead of picking up a new
product, Fox said, Charmglow Is
trying to get people to extend the
cooking season, to use their gas
grills year round.

The Renaissance era is that period in time when man saw a rebfrth - a strengthening and
broadening- of the arts. Actors, downs, singers. mimes, dancers, and musicians traveled
from one receptive audience to another, sharpening their skUls. In this modern day of
television, film and professional stage entertainment, it is often difficult for young per
formers to find the space and audience that their growing talents require, This is one of
the reasons that King Richard's Faire affords such a rare opportunity. Here the performers
interact with one another, getting valuable direction and feedback from other performers
as well as from the very responsive audience, In this setting performers are able to, indeed,
they are encouraged to, work and re-work and expernnent with their imagmation in order
to reach the limits of their talent. Please Join us for this exciting and rewardmg new
Renaissance.

8th Annual Kil1fl Ricliard's Faire
Apprettticesnip Program
_We are: proud to announce that our apprenticeship p'rogram is in its second year.
The 8th Annual Kmg Richard's Faire
Apprenticeship Program excellently combines both performance in front of live audiences, and 'structured classes in acting,
mime,- juggling, magic and stage combat.
Since this is a Renaissance Faire, training is
primarily classical and therefore-provides a
solid base for contemporary theatre, King
Richard's Faire offers a complete and
balanCed theatrical trairiing, taUght by professionals' in each field. Those interested in
the 9tli Annual King Rlcnard's . Fair< Apprmtiwhip Program please consult the Informistress at the main gate,

partridges, 12 cranes, 120_ gallons milk, 11 thousand egges , . , , ,
There is no account of the number of guests inVited, ten thousa'nd, perhaps? For it is

His 'chefs were culinary artists-as are ours here at King Rlchaid's 8th Faire. All foods and
