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

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

said today the postal service needs
to zip up its housecleaning In making
post offices conform to state bound·
aries.
"Tbe new system is creating mall

told postal authorities. "It isn't
working the way it should."
Wisconsinites near the I!Hnois

with an nHnois box number and zip

''The postal service finally
cleaned bouse tills fall after a Jot of
pressure, giving those Wisconsinites
'addresses !n Trevor or Bristul,"
Aspin said, "but it didn't shift the
customers to Wisconsin carriers.
TIM!jo are stll! being served by their
old route carriers from Antioch."
A!lpln said the postal service re·
talned the ll!lnois carriers hecause
it tooked cheaper than to hire add!·

"'"'"' w1scons111 carriers on a partlimf' !:>asis to pick up approximately
500 customers. The Illinois carriers,
already under contract, would have
been maintained at their current
wages without a ful! work load.
"The bottom liM is efficient and
cost effective service," Aspin said.
"What's happening doesn't appear
to meet either measure"
Aspin said even before the Christ·
mas rush. people were reporting at
least twa· hour delays Jn deliveries
"Add that to the duplication in
routes when the Illinois carriers
drive up to the Bristol and Trevor
post offices to sort their Wisconsin
mail, !hen make their deliveries and
cross paths with the Wisconsin carriers out of those post offices,"
Aspln said
"It's a question of mileage and
time costs, and I'm asking the regional postal officials who set up the
system in the first place to take
<>u,tl;t::r look," he said.

THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT said Tuesrlay !t
agreed to settle its 198G antitrust suit ch~ller~ging
Beatrice Foods Co.'s acquisition of Fiberite Inc. by
requiring that Beatrice sel! the thermoplastlcs compounding p;~rt of Fiberite's bu~ine5S.

The department had charged that the acquisit:on of
Fiberite might reduce competition in tbe produdion
and sale of custom.cornpounded th~nu>pl2stics.

used in molding products like tenms racquet frameo,

Thermoplastics operations account for lO percent
of Fiberite's volume, a Beatrice spokesman said.
Fiberite also makes thermosetting compounds which
are used in high technology applications such as jet
engine components.
Beatrice acquired Fiberite in January, 1980 for S60
million. It has bl..>en operating LNP slm:e 1967, and
the Justlce Department had said Beatrice controHed
50 percent of the thermoplastics market in 1979. The
agreement, subject to a 60--day waiting period, also
prohibits Beatrice from acquiring any thermop!astiCl!
firm without Justice Department eoru;ent for 10
years.

MARVIN KADDATZ

Badger REACT
remembers Kaddatz
"He had a bean as b1g as th~
whole world."
"He would gwe you the shirt Off
his back if he thought you needed
it."

Such comments in memory of
Marvin F. Kaddatz were heard fre.
quent!y this week as his co-volunteer workers, family members and
friends mourned the death Saturday
of the 6J.year·old man who headed
Badger REACT, Inc., a volunteer
radio group.
Known to friends as "The Colo·
nel," a nickname acquired during
his days as an auctioneer, Kaddatz
was instrumental in organizing the
REACT chapter. He was elected its
second president in December Of
1978 and remained in the position
until his death.
He was a co-founder of Project9,
an organization of volunteers set up
to monitor Channel 9 radio to assist
motorists in trouble, provide direc-

tions to travellers ar.d other serVIces.
He recruited elderly and home·
bound persons to monitor Channel 9
radio, each volunteer devoting an
hour a day, five days a week. On
holiday weekends and Christmas
and New Years Eve, members
monitor the radio channel around
the clock so that if there are any
calls for help, they are there to hear
them, sald a project spokesman.
Kaddatz himself spent countless
hours on the radio project, remain·
lng active until recently.
Kaddatz was home from the hos·
pita! for Christmas but returned
during the New Years holiday for
surgery, after which his health deteriorated.
Peter Holst, Trevor, will take
over the presidency of the group,

they plan their own tribute to KIKI·

Such comments in memory ol
Marvin F. Kaddatz were heard frequently this week as his co-volun·
teer workers, family members and
f~iends mourned the death Saturday
of the 61-year·old man who headed
Badger REACT, Inc., a volunteer
radio group
Known to friends as "The Colonel," a nickname acquired during
his days as an auctioneer, Kaddatz
was instrumental in organizing the
REACT chapter. He was elecletl its
second president in December of
1978 and remained in the position
unul his death.
He was a co-founder of Project9,
an organization of volunteers set up
to monitor Channel 9 radio to assist
motorists in trouble, provide direc-

t•ons to travellers and other ser.
v1ces
He recruited elderly and homebound persons to monitor Channel 9
radio, each volunteer devot"mg an
hour a day. five days a week. On
holiday weekends and Christmas
and New Years Eve, members
monitor the radio channel around
the clock so that if there are any
calls for help, they are there to hear
them, said a project spokesman.
Kaddatz himself spent countless
hours on the radio project, remain·
ing active until recently.
Kaddatz was home from the hospital for Christmas but returned
during the New Years holiday for
surgery, after which his health de·
teriorated.
Peter Holst, Trevor, will take
over the presidency of the group,
and Badger REACT members said
they plan their own tribute to Kru.!datz.

State, local at!J!Jorities air sludge dilemma
By DENNIS SHOOK
5t.H Writer

It's not an easy task to persuade
farmers to spread dried sewage
treatment plant waste on their land.
While the city found willing volun-

teers, the state Department of Natural Resources recently declared
some land ineligible because of low
water tables.
Solving the diSp!!S!II problem for
the city and finding new volunteers

to receive 100 tons of sewage treatment plant waste daily was the
purpose of a session Thursday at the
Kenosha Water Utility offices. Attending were farmers, sludge experts, DNR officials, and water utility management personnel.
The city will need 250 acres annually on which to spread the material, which is 40 ~rcent solids, in

Kenosha's

ca~e.

The farmer mixes

it with his soiL

Two farmers who have been ac-

cepting much of the material Noel Elfering and John Van
Slochteren - both were prohibited
from further application by the
DNR. The possibility of water contamination is too great in those
cases, in the DNR's opinion, because the underground water table
is too close to ground level.
Both farmers indicated their support for the material as a fertilizer,
particularly for corn.

Gerald Selin, wastewater treatment plant superintendent, said the
city currently has no land approved
for dumping the material. The alternative to dumping will be an e;~;:.
pensive disposal in a landfill site,
Selin said.
He was optimistic that farm land
with )ow water tables and the silty
soils needed w!!l be found, but he
said be feared it might be scattered
throughout the county. That would

greatly increase the costs to the
city.
Sludge has suffered a bad reputation because of its occasional strong
odor and negative publicity on its
nitrate and cadmium content. Both
elements, if applied incorrectly and
not monitored properly, can be
woo<e<-pcod~oc<i~e

Arthur Pet son, an expert on the
agricultural
of sludge, said the
material is "treasured" in Egypt

Steve Stephens. who seemed to

Wayne Dannehl, athletic director,
is putting down the ground rules for

"I would be surprised lf we didn't

"There are an awful lot ol assistant

"I've hnd some calls, but I'm not

"We're looking for a jim dandy,''
he said. "We are a Division II
school. It's not the big time, but we
do compete at a fairly high level. We
have no aspirations for Division I."
Parkslde has become known for
stressing lllcky defense and hard

shown a knack for taking playground
players and molding them Into disciplined team payers.
Most of the players, recruited hy
Collum, are blacks out of the Chlca·

"Steve feels worn out after 20

Dannehl said of the retiring coach.
"Having one instead of two
coaches will affect the outcome of

Paris mulls EMT future
By JAMES itOliDE
5tatl' Writer
PARIS-- A wa!Hmd-see poslt!oo
was taken by the Paris Town Board
Wednesday ln considering the future
of an emergency medical technician
program in the town.
Town Chairman August Zirbel
said the tmard agreed to continue
paying for Marcia Capodarco's EMT
training but delayed a decision on
the future of the program until its
Insurance company advises tbe cost
for Habl!!ty coverage.
Mrs. Capodarco Is expected to
recelve her EMT certification in
March. A resident of Paris, she !s
sponsored by the Bristol Fire Department for EMT training, qualifying her to answer rescue calls !n

Paris. The Bristol Rescue Squad
serves the Town of Paris which does
not have its own rescue unit.
Zirbel Said Mother Parts resident
has also Indicated !nlerest in taking
the EMT course.
He added, "Who knows what this
program could be tn four or five
years?"
Zirbel said the board wants to get
an estimate of the cost of Insurance
and equipment before deciding on a
course of action.
Earlier this month, Paris members met with the Bristol Town
Board to consider a new fire and
rescue squad contract for Paris. A
plan was announced whereby Mrs.
Capodarco would respond to rescue

calls in Paris.
At that time Paris Superviaor
Mark Wisnefski objected tG Mrs.
Capodarco's treating victims before
a rescue squad arrives at the scene
from BristoL
Zirbel said, "Since the plan calls
tor Mrs. Capodarco or other Paris
EMTs to use their private vehicles,
we have to know what our Insurances costs are going to be before
we can make a rational decision."
Under the new contract, Paris
wil! pay Bristol $7,200 per year for
seven tire calls and 13 rescue calls.
The town will pay $895 per run plus
wages !or each additional !Ire call
and $165·for each additional rescue
call plus wages.

has not expressed an interest for·
mally or informally '
The actual selection of the coach
will be made by a screening com·
mittee, not by DannehL
"I'm sure it wouldn't !lame someone I wouldn't want," he said, indicating that his wishes and
philosophy will carry considerable
weight. Dannehl seldom watches
Parkside games, preferring to sit In
his office above the court. He worries about his heart in exciting
situations
"I want to be equal or better than
UW·Eau Claire, UW-Oshkosh and
UW·Whitewater," he said. "I want
to remain an independent and play
for the district championship."
The popularity of Parks1de
basketball is down this season, perhaps because there aren't any
players from either Kenosha or
Ra.:ine. The two players who g!ve
the team personality, Chucky P~rry,
a guard of incredible quickne%, and

The jury reached its verdict after
more than 6 hours of deliberations.
Sentencing was set for Jan. 29.
McRoberts, Bristol, was also found
guilty of armed robbery.
McRoberts had attended Central
High School.
The prosecution contended that
McRoberts asked his grandmother for
some money early in the moming on
Monday, Jan. 26. When she refused, he
supposedly followed her up the stairs of
her Kenosha home, to her bedroom
where the stabbing occurred,
Pathologist Dr. John G. Sanson
testified Saturday, Jan. 9, that Mrs.
Easton died almost instantly after being
stabbed 20 times. Amann suffered 24
wounds including one that severed his
pulmonary artery, causing him to bleed
to death in 5 to 10 minutes. Petrucci was
stabbed more than 20 times and died
within 20 to 30 minutes. The pathologist
seid the males received defensive
wounds, probably when they tried to
ward off the knife blows with their
hands.
Sanson said that bssed on the
"ounds, he• theo;ized that the murdH
weapon was 1\ long, double-edged kniff'.
Thi~ cont!'adicted the proseeution·~,
i."mH~nW'-i!

that a biJWi<O lypt· \nmting

ltnite was th(- murder weapon. The knihe
has a 6 ir1ch blade and is sharp only on
one side.
Sanson also disagreed with the
prosecution's assertion that the time of
death was Monday morning. He esti~
mated, based on the state of rigor mortis
in the bodies. the deaths had occurred
&::mtetime aft<'-r noon on Mondey. He did
N:knowledge that ml'llly vatiables are
mvolved and ~hat establishing the time
of death is not an exact science. Be said
that the victims could have died earlier
than his estimate.
Police testified on Wednesday, that

the open eye of Mrs. Eamon plagued
McRoberts as he walked through bet'
house after she was murdered. Detective
Robert Hubbard, Kenosha County Sheriff's Department, said that McRoberts
mentioned two or thrBe times that the
grandmother's eye was looking at him.
Hubbard also testified that Me:
Roberts said he noted no cuta to his
hands as he ascended the stairs in
Easton's house but had several cuts
when he returned downstairs. "He said
blood was spurting from his hands and
hitting the walls as he came down,"
according to Hubbard.
A microanalyst from the state
Regional Crime Laboratory testified that
type A blood was found at various places
in the house, including all three
bedrooms where the victims were found.
McRoberts has type A blood, but none of
the victims did. About 7--8 percent of the
population has type A blood.
McRoberts' sister testified that she
was with him the night the murders took
place and that he did not have cuts or
gouges on his hands.
An emerg.ency roorn doctor

p.m. on Jan. 27 said that 1:he wounds

tion ·s cont11ntion that the dllathsoccurred
early in the morning on Jan. 26.
Herbert Leon MacDonell, direch.>r of
a laboratory of forensic science. in
Corning, N.Y., challenged the special
prosecutor wilh his testimony.
MacDonell said most of the ~uts in
Easton's nightelothes were too smaU t.o
be made with McRobert's' howia ktde if
the stab wounds had any depth ta ti:ann
alall
"The kniftl Qlade·is wider than the

w:idth and length of most of the cuts,'' he
said.
Jerold Breitenbach, the prosecut1ng
attorney, tried to discredit the witness's
opinions by pointing out that MacDonell
didn't look at all of the evidence and
hadn't mentioned in his report a
substance evident on the knife.
Breitenbach als'o pointed out that
despite MacDonell's testimony in the
celebrated trial of Jean Harris, accused
of murdering Scarsdale diet doctor
Herman TsrnOwer, the jury found
Harris guilty of second-degree murder.
When questioned by defense attorney
Cletus Willems, MacDonell said that
with some qualifications the nightclothes
fibers were cut at both ends, indicating a
double.edged knife was used.
In his closing statements, Breitenbach emphasi;;:ed that McRobert's was
the one person in the world who told
police he was there when they were slive
and that when he left they were dead.
Willems contended in his closing
arguments that the state's case was

stabbed more than 20 times and died
within 20 to 30 minutes. The pathologist
said the males received defensive
wounds, probablY when they tried to
ward off the knife blows with their
hands.
Sanson said that based on the
wounds, he theorized that the murder
we"apon was a long, double-edged knife.
This contradicted the prosecution's
contention that a bowie type hunting
--knife was the mllJ:der weapon. The knife
has a 6 inch blade and is shatp only on
one side.
Sanson also disagreed with the
prosecution's assertion that the time of
death was Monday morning. He estimated, based on the state of rigor mortis
jn the bodies, the deaths had occun-ed
!!Ollletime after noon on Monday. He did
acknowledge that many variables are
involved and that establishing the time
of death is not an exact science. He said
that the victims could have died earlier
than his estirnatf'.
Police testified on Wednesday, that

McKoberts has type A blood, but none of
the victims did. About 7-8 percent of the
population has type A blood.
McRoberts' sister testified that she
was w:ith him the night the murders took
place and that he did not hsve cuts or
gouges on his hands.
An emergency toom doctor who
treated cuts to McRoberts' hands at 3
p.m. on Jan. 27 said that the wounds
seemed to be 12 to 24 hours old. That
testimony again challenged the proseeution 's contention that the deaths occurred
early in the morning on Jan. 26.
Herbert Leon MacDonell, director of
a laboratory of forensic science: in
Coming, N.Y., challenged the special
prosecutor with his testimony.
MacDonell said most of the cuts in
Easton's nightclothes were too small to
be made with McRobert's'bowie knife if
the stab wounds had any depth to them
at all.
"The knife !llad<"-is wider than the

ln hiS closing statements, Breitenbach emphasized that McRobert's was
the one person in the world who told
police he was there when they were alive
lind that when he left they were dead.
Willems contended in his closing
arguments that the state's case was
circumstantial and full of doubt. He
claimed the police, in their zeal, arrested

that made him look guilty when he gave

Following the decision, Breitenbach
said that he would probably ask for three

along with the 3-year maximum tenn for
the armed robbery charge.
"I don't think there has been s more

Can a wife claim a share of her

Yes and no, respectively, ruled
the district Court of Appeals in two

In the first case, Involving a

The operator of an adult book
store has t!led suit In federal court
!n Mllwaukee against Town of
Bristol officials, contending a town
ordinance d!scrlm!nates against
h!m because It bans semi-trailer
trucks from parking in front of his
business.
The suit was t!!ed by Anthony
Musso, Park Ridge, Ill., who operates Crossroads Video News Agency
on the West Frontage Road. Named
as defendants In the su!t are the
Town of Bristol; Noel Elfering,
town chairman; Supervisors Donald
WiEinke and Russell Horton, and Jon
Mason, town attorney.
Last September, the town passed
an ordinance prohibiting parking in
front of the book store.
According to the suit, a substantial number of Musso's customers
were truck drivers who parked their
veh1cles on the shoulder of the road.
Mu.qso's suit contends the town
board passed the ban to harrass and
intimidate him and his customers.

In an earlier federal court acuon,
Bristol was ordered to issue an
ocaupancy permit to Musso so he
coUld operate the book store.
EJfering today ca!!ed the discrimination charge "hogwash."
He said before the parking ordinance was passed, there were
times when semHraller trucks were

parked on both STde~ nl the frontage
road with thei: whee!s rm the t;aveled portion of the wm1. Elfermg
said that OOth the sh!.'riff"~ department and the State Patrol had Issued
citations to truck driven for park·
ing on the highway rmrtirm

zoning requst on nearbY property,
Smith said today a decision on a
further courseof action wlll be made
by his cl!ents once a formal notice of
the denial is received.
"Our next step, should we decide
to take it," said Smith, "would be to
file an action In circuit court."
At Monday's meeUng, two bids
were opened for the purchase of
radio equipment for the town's new
rescue squad. A bid from Gordon
Mobile. Antioch, totaled S2,4B5 and
Motorola, Schaumberg, IlL, was
,$2,633.
In other action, the board an·
nounced they wouldd meet today
with Layne-Northwest Co., Mllwaukee, to discuss the status of a test
well being dr!l!ed at Highways 45

BRISTOL~ Three Bristol residents have been commended by
Sheriff Gerald Sonqulst for their
response to a neighbor'~ call for
help.
Sonquist credited WilHam
Cusenza. Mary and Timothy
Panek with saving a neighborhood home and garage from destruction when a late model auto
caught fire in an attached garage
at the home of Rose Aceto, 12317
!36th Ave. The incident happened
Jan. !8.
Cusenza and the Paneks responded to Mrs. Aceto's call for
help, saw the burning auto and
dragged it out of the garage w!th
a chain attached to a pickup
truck.
"Had this not been done," said
Sonquist said in a Jetter to the
three, "the garage and possibly
the house would have been Ignited."
Sonquist said. "In our society.
it is hard to find people who show
concern for their fellow man."

Nearing reality
.J(

Krnosha County's farmland
preservation plan - three years
on the drawing board~ hopefully is nearing rea!lty.
The County Board's planning
and zoning committee Is holding
a puhlk hearing in Paddock Lake
Wednesday evening. The plan
wUl bf' explained and citizens
wi!l have the opportunity to express their views. The committee thf'n wm make Its recommendat!on to the County Board
as a whole
In sum mar, the plan- and we
are nmong 60 of Wisconsin's 72
coumie~ which are working on,
or hav<:> already adopted such a
program - encourages farmers
to keep prime agricultural land
in crap production through lncomt> tsx credits. It discourages
random development of residential subdivisions amid neighboring cornfields and pastures
Contrary to the fears of some
real e';'tate developers. it does
not ha!t all urban growth in the
rurai areas. But for a variety of
reasons. it encourages such
growth adjacent to and outward
from 8!read.y existing city, vll!age or urbanized town areas.
We know Kenosha County is
going t0 grow during the next two
decade~.. The farmland preserva·
tion p!a.n antlcipates our popu·
lation will grow from just over
120,000 !lf'rsons to nearly 1750,000
by thr: vear 2000. That means. of

I;

course, that some presently ruraJ areas will become urbanized.
We think, along with many of
our rural neighbors, that it
makes sense to concentrate this
growth near existing residential
developments, areas best able to
provide the necessary public services, not the !east of which are
sanitary sewers.
We need and will continue to
need agricultural land for food
production. Prime farmland is
our most energy-eftlclent land,
producing the most food with the
least fuel, fertil!zer and labor.
That's important to both
Kenosha County's rural an~ur­
ban residents.
Farmers, who helped establish
the criteria for the plan, cite a
desire - one that we can fully
appreciate - to retain a rural
lifestyle. But the retention of
greenbelts around our urban developments should not be
shrugged off as unimportant to
city dwellers.
Nearly a year ago, In an editorial, we urged governmental consideration of steps to preserve
our vanishing farmland.
The tag line of that editorial
was: "Asphalt Is the land's last
crop."
May that not happen here!
We think that Kenosha
County's Farmland preservation
proposal ls a right step.

Public informational meetings concerning the FLP A were held m Hixton a\
the c1ty hall at l p,ni. lind at Black Riv,-r
Fall~ HighSchool at8p,m, o~ March 19,
1981.
Jim Johnson, Director of FLP Pro, gram made a presentation lit both
meetings. He stated the need for the act
being the loss of 100,000 acres of
farmland yearly, for tax relief for
farmers, coBts of urban sprawl and
conflicts over land use. He stated people
who signed up in the program could
qualify for up to $4,200 of property tax
credit with the average tax credit thus
faT given being $1,400. Yet, at the March
24 board meeting, John Ahl of Black
River Falls reported that he had
contacted the Department of Agriculture
Office of•Statistics, who gave him the
information that there was a gain of
4,000 acres of farmland from 1970 to
1980, and an increase in farm production
of 25 percent. The farmer signs a
contract with the state for a period of 10
to 25 years. This contract states the
farmer will not develop his land for any

In other items on the agenda,
Elferlng announced that testing tor

and pay back the last 10 years of tax
credit. If the farmer wishes to withdraw
before his contract expires, it is virtually
impo~sible. The contrad. follows the land
if the land is sold or is pa.~s!'>d on to a
heir.
Call'in Frelk of Merrilhm stated the
difficulties of withdrawing from the
program. He stres~ed that the prognun
does not pressure land, but merely
allows tlle state to becoml' a partner in
the operation of WiBconain farms. He
listed six state and county agencies
which would control decisions concerning farm operations. He stated that there
is no guarantee that once a farmer is
signed up that the state Legislature
would not remove or reduce the tax
credit and add more regulations, thus
leaving the farmer with an inescapable
partnership with the state. He also
opposed a few getting tax rebates that
the people of Wisconsin would have to
pay. As of now, only 5 percent of the
farmers in the state of Wisconsin aTe
signed up or qualified fort his tax rebate.
A question and answer period
followed Mr. Johnson's presentation.
Bob Olsher, representing concerned
citizens of Jackson County against the
FLPA and Jim Johnson, Director of the
FLP Program fielded the questions. It
was brought out in this period that only
12 farmers signed up in Jack~on County.
One farmer who has signed a contract
with the state said he was not presented
all the information at the tin1e he signed
the contract. After awmding the meeting, he announced to the group his
decision to withdraw from the program if
possible. He stated he has no intentions

DISCUSSED AT MEETING

'"o-.x....

The Jackson County Board of Supervisors met at 9 a.m. March 24, 1981 at
the Jackson County Courthouse. They
discussed the highly controversial }'annland Preservation Act and voted 11-8
against applying for state funds for
mapping the county under provisions
provided by the FLPA. Those board
members voting for the program were:
William Theiler, Daryl Rose, Roger
Huber, Wallace Pfaff, Robert Nortman,
John Rulland, Reginald Rensink and
Robert Haydon. Those opposing it were
Merlin Peterson, Vincent Ruzic, Hensel
Gilbertson, Allen Tilson, Joseph Bott,
Lyle Anderson, Merle Prindle, Harold
Kersting, Richard Hom, Walter Dill and
Robert Strozewski.
This is the third time this proposition
issue has come before the board and the
third time it was defeated. A resolution
to put this isBue lip for refGrendum was
def.,ated !3-6.
Public informational meetings concernmgthe FLPA were held m Hixwn w
the city hal! at 1 p.m. and at Black Rivn
Falls High School at 8 p.m. on March 19,
1981.

If a farmer wishes to withdraw from
the program, he must wait untll h111

and pay back the last 10 years of tax

before his contract expires, it is virtually
impossible. The contract follows the land

heir.
Calvin Frelk of Merrillan stated the
difficulties of withdrawing from the
program. He stressed that the program

Badger React needs_'-~elp relaying emergency calls
"""-.'

Badger React wants help in helping
others.

Badger React, a volunteer organization which monitors the emergency CB
radio channel 9 to help people at a time
of need, is looking for more members in
this area.
The local React chapter has many
local members, but would like more
thorough coverage of channel 9 throughout the day and evening without being
too much of a burden oil any one person.
Wherever you are located, you can
monitor on designated hours of the day,
to pick up distress signals from anyone
in trouble, and contact the necessary
authorities to get help. Aside from the

designated hours, you are free to use

'"'-

your CB radio for your own enjoyment.
During this winter's severe weather
conditions, the React services became
very important to travelers.
As an example of that important
service: on Jan. 30 Harold Middleton
received a cal! at 5:05a.m. for help from
a tanker trucker who had jackknifed on
I-94 just north of the state line and was
blocking two lanes of traffic, along with
two passenger cars which went in the
ditch. Middleton contacted the sheriff's
department by phone and within minutes
they had four or five squads and a state
patrol on the scene. There were a
number of vehicles involved within
minutes. It was necessary to shut down
the southbound lane ofi-94 from Hwy. C

to the state line until the condition was
corrected.
The local chapter of Badger React
logged a total 9,820 hours of monitoring
in 1980 receiving 420 emergency calls,
and 14,823 hours in 1981 with 280calls.
Badger React is op.e chapter in a
nationwide volunteer organization.
"l have always been very impressed
with the willingness and readiness of all
members to be of help to those in need of
emergency service," Middleton said.
React will provide radio and antennas
to people who wish to participate in this
important program, but cannot afford
their own equipment. In exchange you
must agree to monitor at least an hour a
day, 5 days il week. The React

equipment is installed and checked out
by a React crew.
Anyone interested in learning more
about the organization and its volunteer
service, can call Middleton (414-8577158) or Diane Tess (414-843-2060).
''It is ideal for retired or any
homebound people. You'll find it very
interesting and fulfilling to help someone
in need,'' Middleton concluded.

"Bristol's ground water table Is

Sewer bypassing that now occurs

Fisher Decision Could
End Egg Fa~T..Debate
The continuing saga of the Bristol Egg
Farm may reach a conclusion on March 8
when the question returns to the courtroom
of .Judge Michael Fisher for final disposition
m Kenosha County Circuit Court.
According to Judge F1sher. the deciding
factor will be whether or not Chris Aralis,
owner of the Quality Egg Farm in Bristol. on
Hwy. 50. has made every possible effort and
been successful in reducing the odor caused
by 15 tons of chicken manure, eradicating the
public nuisance factor as far as the egg
farm's neighbor;; are concerned.

John Bl!ott! and
Bristol Town Chair·
man Noel Elferlng,
wll1 begin at 7 p.m
Wednesday ln the Reuther High School
auditorium, 58th Street
and Sheridan Road.

After Fisher originally ordered the egg
farm to close-down in the summer of 1980. his
decision was overturned by the appellate
court whose decision was later reversed bv
the Wisconsin State Supreme Court.
·
The state supreme court tossed lhe case
right back to .Judge Fisher
Fisher attempted to verbally eliminate the
worry that a decision against the egg farrn
might inevitably affect the rest of the state"s
farmers by declaring that there was a great
difference betw{'('n the average fann and the
million dollar egg busines~.

A hearing has been scheduled March
8 by Judge Michael Fisher t<l hear what
steps the Quality Egg Farm, Inc. has
taken during the past 2 years of controversy and court appearances to clean
up what neighbors say is a public

nuisance.
Fisher first shut down the egg produciogplantonHwy. 50, Bristol, in May
1980 because of odors caused by the
business. Chris Aralis, Chicago, operator of"the plant appealed Fisher's decision to the district Court of Appeals,
which overturned the shut-down order.
Then the state Attorney General's office
took that decision to the Wisconsin
Supreme Court and in November 1981
the high court upheld Fisher, sending
the case back for final disposition.
According to Fisher, the burden is
now on Quality Egg to show sufficient
reason for the court to lift the injunction
ordering the shutdown,

By ARLENE JENSEN
Staff Wr:lter
BRISTOL - The majority of
Bristol bUsiness owners affected by
the proposed Pleasant Prairie sewer
expansion have indicated they want
sewers, Town Chairman Noel Ellerlng said Monday.
·

Elfertng said letters have been
received from representatlvf!s of six
of ttJe eight bustne~ses In the I94Hlghway !10 area. A verbal commitment came from a seventh business
with the eighth expected today
The Bristol Town Board was
scheduled to meet today on the
project with Pleasant Prairie of.

ftctats and representatives of Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission and the Department of Natural Resources.
At issue is the proposed expansion
of Sewer Utility District Din Pleasant Prairie and construction of a
new treatment plant.
The district would not stop at the
town !!ne but would expand Into
Bristol to Include the sma!l commercial area. State funding w!ll
depend on that portion of the
project, Pleasant Prairie officials
said at an ear!ler meeting.
Unt!I Monday, Bristol Town board
members maintained a posture of
non-Involvement In the project,

saying they would react only to a
petition from the eight owners of
property and business In the area.
Charles Catalano, one of the eight,
said Monday he had discussed the
sewer Issue with the other seven
"There's no question they are all
for It," he said.
In other action at the Monday
meeting, Town Board members
adopted a final draft of a sewer
system evaluation study prepared
by the engineering firm of Donohue
and Associates, Sheboygan, and authorized an appllcat!on for funds for
the design phase of the rehabllltatlon project.
The studv recommends that the

town undertake a project that wlll
cost In excess of $100,000.
Patrick Murray, a Donohue engi·
neer. said leaky manholes allow
clear water to enter the sewer system and overload the treatment
plant. In wet weather, the gallons
per day reach a maximum of
460,000.
According to Murray, the rl'·
habf!itatlon project will cut the fig·
ure to 124,000 per day In wet weather
and 45,00(1 on an average day
The proposed project would ln·
elude Installation of watertight
manhole covers, sealing of frames
and grouting of manholes.

Variance OK demands proof

BRISTOL - A variance from

when a property proves that an
"unnecessary hardship" exists, zon·

Monday
"Unnl'i:"essary hardship" means
that the appl!catlon of the ordinance

and upheld Fisher. The matter was system.

He was questioned about the steps
by his attorney, Milton Konicek,
Burlington. Aralis testified that
some of those steps had been taken
after Fisher's 1980 shutdown order,
which has been stayed pending the
appeals.
Assistant Attorney General Maryann Sumi, representing the state.
cross examined AraBs about al!eged
inconsistencies with his 1980 court
testimony, noting he then said the
improvements had been completed
Aralis testified that he was about
to take a further corrective step, if
his firm is not shut down, "to take
care of the problem once and for
all." He satd he has conditionally

Cross-examined by Sumi, Aralis
noted that last year, the equipment

supplier had proposed a system consisting of three digester machines
and one dryer. which with a building
to house them. would cost over
$1.50.000. Aralis said he opted !or a
single $32,000 machine instead
Indicating that one machine
might not be able to handle the daily
manure production, Ar&lis conceded
he'd have to spread the rest on his
fields, the firm's practice in past
years
Asked by Sumi if he would commit himself to buying one, two or
three digester machines as required
to solve the problem. the egg plant
owner said he w0uld.
Most other testimony at the hearing Monday was from Bristol residents and town officials who said
there had been an improvement in
the odor problem during the past
two years George Melcher,
Kenosha County's director of planning and zoning, also testified as to
''a sub~tantial improvement OVPr
whHt I saw in W79."

Town Supervisor Russell Horton
said the situation has improved by
"at least 100 percent," and that he
had detected no Unpleasant odors at
Quality Egg dllring the past two
years.
Horton also said that he raised
1.200 pigs on his own farm and that
they produced a similar 15 ton$ of
manure daily. He said his farm had
no odor problem because he cleaned
the hog houses daily. But he maintained there was a difference between a hog farm and a chicken
ranch, which he said needed to be
cleaned out only once a year, if
moisture is kept from the manure
pits
Town Chairman Noel Elfering
testified that instances of odor problems in 1980 and 1981 occurred when
water from the chickens' drinking
supply got into the manure pits. He
blamed vandalism, which he suggf'Sl!'d could have been tau~ed by
people who "want 11 to smell '

Two witnesses appeared for the
state, with others scheduled to testify today.
Mrs. Marguerite Elkins, who Jives
three-quarters of a mile from the
egg plant, said that the "Intolerable" odors are now "less fre.

Another neighbor, Mrs Gall

couldn't "honestly say It is any

Charging that the owoer of the
Quality Egg Farm "sort of dan~es
around the real issues," Judge
Michael Fisher Tuesday gave Chris
Ara!is a week to provide specific,
written commitments and plans to
abatl.' manure and chicken odors at
his Bristol egg plant.
In May I980, a decade after neighbors began complaining about the
farm's obnoxious odors, Judge
Fisher ruled Quality Egg was a
public nuisance and ordered It shut
down. That O;rder has !}een stayed as
the case worked its way up to the
state Supreme Court, whlcli last
Novemher upheld Fisher's ruUng.
Aralls test!fied Monday and Tuesday at a hearing held to determine If
Fisher will lift the c!osedown order.
The judge indicated the burden was
on Quality Egg to show it had taken
steps to abate the nuisance.
The owner of the egg producing
firm was questioned by bls attorney,
Milton Konicek, Burllngt(ln, and As·
slstant Attorney General Maryann
Sum!, representing the state.
There was sometimes conflicting
testimony about past steps Aral!s
had taken 10 combat the odor problem.

Fisher, however, was not satisfied
that Aralis was "'pinned down" to a
commitment to install whatever
num!}er of the $32,000 machines is
required to dispose of the plant's
estimated 15 tons of chicken manure
per day.
The judge also Bald he was puzzled
why Aralls or his employees had
done some "realty stupl.d things"
during the pendency of the suit,
actions that "Inflamed" the egg
farm's neighbors.
There was testimony Monday and
at the 1980 hearing that egg farm
employees dumped chicken manure
on the yard of one complainant and
parked a loaded manure spreader
near the home of another.
Fisher said Arails had one week to
bring In proof he had contracted for
digester-dryer equipment and the
construction of a building to house
it. He indicated he wanted detalled
plans and dates of operation. Fisher
indicated he would not consider
modifying his shutdown order until

Fred Gilson, who lives about a

Gilson, echoing fears of many
farmers statewide tliat the case
could establish an anti-farming legal
precedent, said, ''The next thing you
know, they're going to do is object to
my horses and steers."
Harold Middleton, whose !and adjoins the egg farm, has been principal spokesman tor those objecting to
the odors.
Tuesday, Middleton testified that
the smell was "very notlcabfe and
strong" on 9!1 dates !n 1981. He said
he had a nearly lifelong farm background and normal farm odors don't
bother him

Quallty Egg Farm Inc., and Its owner, Chris
Aral!s, Northbrook, Ill., Wednesday paid Kenosha
County $12,316 in delinquent 1977 property taxes
and Interest.
The controversial Bristol egg producing plant
still owes the county $39,197 In delinquent taxes
tor 1978 through 1981, plus Interest penalties.
However, because ol state law that permits a
county to take tax deeds on properties when they
are more than three years overdue, no such step
may be taken on 1978 taxes, due in 1979, can be
taken until after Oct. 16.
Quality Egg Is under a shutdown court order
' since May 1980, when Judge Michael Fisher ruled
the agr\hustness was a public nuisance because of
1
its obnoxious manure and chicken odors. The case
was appealed, but the state Supreme Court
upheld Fisher's ruling. After a hearing la~t week
Flsher deferred a decision on whether to lift the
closedown order untll Aral!s presented !lrm
cnmmltments and definite plans to curb the odor
problem. A decision Is expected within several
weeks
' According to records in the County Treasurer's
office, Quality Egg and Aralis have on at least

Quality Decision Due
byGLORIADAVlS
3 11 · ~- \.....
At press time, the final hearing on the
Quality Egg Farm. Bristol and its odon'.
returned by the Wisconsin Supreme Court to
Kenosha County CircuJtCourt Judge Michael
Fisher, had been in progre% two days, Mon·
day, March a and Tuesday, March 9
Several hours of testimony were heard
from state and local municipal officials and
others a testing to the correction of the egg
farm's odor problem.
Part of the success of the corrective at·
tempts were attributed to the installation of
fans on the premises.
Judge Fisher, whose (}riginal decision to
close-Uown the million dollar egg business

be<:ause the odor from the chicken manure
constituted a public nuisance, had his
decision overturned by the district court of
appeals but the case was droppped back in
his lap by the state supreme court
Fisher said, previous to the hearing, that
he would have to be convinced that the egg
farm had completely corrected the situation
that was extremely offensive to the surroun·
ding residential area.
His decision is anxiously awaited by
Wisconsin farmers who have voiced the fear
that the permanant closing of the egg farm
might create a precedent restricting all farming.

After delivering a load of grain to Chicago, Rob Hawkins fills h!s trucks for another load.
A holdout, l!ke many
aspects of farming, is a
gamble. The bottom may fall
out of a grain market, the
crop can rot, or lt may be
damaged by weevils will

"A farmer could hold out
until say June before seUing a
crop like this," said Hawkins,
a broad-chested hulk of a man
seated behind the steering
wheel of his rtg. "But we
could expect to pay about 8
cents Interest on every bushel
we hold. So although the
farmer may get a better price

by waiting, you wonder !f he
would come out ahead after
paying the Interest on his loan
for the crop."

Hawkins' knowledge and confidence In managing one of

betrays his 23 years.
"Actually, hauling the
grain probably .takes up too
much of my time now, I bave

work to do on the machines,
like setting up our new tractor for spraying· and putting
another set of tires on it. But I
started out driving because it
keeps us busy during the winter months."
Between December and
APril, Hawkins makes about
00 trips to grain elevators,
mostly In the southern Chicago area, but also to some In
Milwaukee. Each year he
makes about 200 runs, sometimes three trips a day coverIng -450 miles.

This is certainlv correct, as far

dispute, however, did not
such a challenge, No thinking

to eliminate farming, one of

This disagreement over what a

there are arguments being made

Missing t)Je point
Governor Dreyfus signed a law
last week that we believe must
be unconstitutionaL The b!ll,
sponsored by Rep. Gervase
Hephner (D-Chilton), is a direct
result of the state Supreme Court
decision last November ruling
that a judge has the right to close
down the Qual!ty Egg Farm in
Bristol near Kenosha.
The bill has some complicated
revisions_, b~t the summary of
the LegJs!atJVe Reference Bureau says, "This bill declares an
ag:icultura! acti~lty not to b~ _a
nmsance. An agncultural acttv!ty would therefore be exempt
from collrt-ordered abat~ment."
The bill would allow a Judge to
close a farm as a public nuisan~e
only if !t threatens the pubhc
health or safety. A farmer in an
exclusively agriculture zone is
protected from both closure and
a court order to modify h!s practices.
Unless the farm is in an area
zoned exclusively for agriculture, however, a judge will be
free to order a farmer to modify
farming practices to reduce any
nuisance his operations cause.
Gov. Dreyfus, in signing the
bill, said, "It is Imperative that

Both men now better understand the lif~styles of their city
has gained respect for the other
and the way he makes a living.
The occasion that brought the
two closer together has been a
six-month event that officially
bega11 last Nov. 11 when Greenwood and a half dozen other city
folks visited Nelson's !arm du;ing corn harvesting season. That
day marked the first celebration
of farm/city weel\
A farm/cay banquet was
staged Nov. 23 where pt•ople liv·

-rcet~wood

Wheatland farmer. said touring
industrial facilities was in·
formative. ''You pick things up
that you can take home, like
personnel management techniques we could use when working
with a hired man. Industry has
used these techniques for years
afld now agriculture is just getttng into it."
Farmers' quf'stions to Greenwood centered on employee
wages and benefits, corporate
taxes, competition, employee
absenteeism, and the economy.
With safety glasses donned,
farmers heard a lecture on electrical motor design, advanced
computer use in industry, and inhouse research and development.
A diversion occurre<l near the
end of the tour when guests had a
chance to step onto a scale providing digital weight read-outs
For those whose stomachs
lapped ovllr th.eir belts a little
more than usual it was obvious,
as one farmer said. "It's been a
long winter."

Fire permits
cut unneeded
Bristol fire runs
'/ . )7 _',-'By ARLENE JENSEN
StaH Writer
BRISTOL -Because of a rash of grass fires,
Bristol oftldals are reminding resldents that
outdoor burning requires a permit.
"Unless people are burning materials In 1'1
screen-topped container, they must obtain a
permit before ilght!ng the fire," Town Chairman
Noel EJrerlng said Monday.
The permit system has a double purpose. It
helps the town keep tabs on who's burning what.
and It prevents the fire department from ml'lklng
unnecessary runs.
"It !s a waste of time and money If our trucks
go out unnecessarily," said Supervisor Donald
Wienke. "It we know ahead of time that someone
Is going to burn a brush pile, we won't send the
tire department everytlme neighbors see
smoke."
According to Elfer!ng, It costs the town $300 to
$500 each time the tire trucks leave the station.
"And," said Wienke, "It's emhllrrasslng to
have fire trucks pull Into your driveway when
they're not needed."
Permits may be obtained at the town hall or by
caljlng a mem~r of the Town Board.
AI Monday's meeting, engineers John Curtis
and Patrick Morray said work on the rehabiJltatlon of Bristol's sewer system wlll get under way
in the spring of 1983.
The project Is estimated at $101,000, but,
according to Murray, the town can expect to pay
$40,000. The remainder Is to come from a Wiscon·
sin Fund grant from the Department of Natural
Resources.
The rehabl!ltatlon work fol!ows two studies:
Inflow and !nt!lt.ratlon and a sewer system eva!·
uatlon that showed district manholes to be the
major concern.
"Between August of 1981 and February of '82.
we climbed Into 218 manholes," !!!lid Murray,
"and searched tor leaks, detective frames and
covers."
New watertight covers w!H be Installed on 78
manholes, according to Murray, and 94 are
scheduled for frame replacement.
A major portion of the project Is a collapsed
sewer !lne on J93rd Avenue In the vJIJage In
Bristol. About 10 feet of l!ne wl!l he replaced,
accortllng to Murray.
The major portion of work on the Bristol
system, according to Curtis, does not Involve
"major leakers- just a lot of small ones that add
up to a lot· of clear water getting Into the

BRISTOL - The Brlsto! Town
Board Tu~~d!:!Y "gave its OK to the
design phase of a $!00,000 sewer
rehabilitation project. '/ '"
Donald Zenz. of the englneerlng
firm of Donohue and Associates,
Sheboygan, was directed to We an
application for a $6,900 grant from
state and federal ~ources that will
pay for the design of the project.
A recently completed Sewer Systems Evaluation Survey by Donohue
and Associates revealed that the
maJOr source of inflow and infiltration in the town's sanitary sewer
system is through faulty manholes.
The study recommends corrective
measures whlch could cost more
than $100,000. Some of that cost
should be recoverable from state
and federal funds.
The SSES and detnlls of the sewer
rehabilitation project will be explained to persons llving In Bristol
Utility Districts 1 and 1B at a
meeting at 8 p.m. Monday at the
town hall.
Zenz sakl it would be about a year
before the project could begin.
At a recent Town Boar(! meetlng,
Patrick Murray, a Donohue and
Associates engineer, said Jeaky
manholes permlt clear raln and
ground water to enter the sanitary
sewer system and overload the
treatment plant.
On a normal. rainless day,
manholes in the dlstr!ct permit
abcut75,000 gal!om of ground water
to seep into sanitary sewers. Durlng

wet weather, the influx of unwanted,
clean water soars to 460,000 gal!ons
per day.
The proposed rehabll!tat!on
project will cut the inflow to 45,000
gallons under normal circumstances
and 124,000 gallons when It rains,
according to engineers.
The project would include m·
stallat!on of 78 watertight manhole
covers, the sealing of 94 manhole
frames and the grouting of 65
manholes. Seven sewer lines would
~grouted and one l!ne in the village
in Bristol would be dug up and
replaced.
Currently, In wet weather, the
overload at the treatment plant- a
mixture of dear water and un·
treated sewage - bypasses the facll!ty, and the effluent discharge
fails to meet state and federal requirements .
According to John Curtis, another
Donohue and Associates englneer,
1he rehabilitation project would
eliminate the sewer bypassing at the
plant during heavy rainfalL
Repairs to the system w!U give
the treatment plant "a lot more
capacity," said curtis.
The town, ultimately, Is expected
to have to pay about $40,000 as Its
share for the design and construction costs of the sewer rehabihta·
lion, with the bulk ot the funding
coming from federal and state
so11rces.
The $40,000 cost equates to about
$80 equivalent per user. The method
and timing for returning this charge
to the users will be d!scW!!!OO at
Monday night's meeting.

Group seeks to keep senior citizen funds segregated
-(-

By ARLENE JENSEN
StaftWrller
"We don't want funds for senior
citizens mixed In with block
grants," said Joseph Czubln, "and
we don't want senior programs combined with welfare services."
Czubln, a Bristol resident, and
members of the executive council of
the Coalltlon of Wisconsin Aging
Groups met wlth Donald Percy,
secretary of the state Department of
Health and Social Services this week
to discuss a planned reorganization
of the department.

.... (

j

A proposal which has yet to be
approved by Gov. Lee Dreyfus
would combine the Bureau on Aging
with the Bureau of Chlldren, Youth
and Families and programs for
American Indians, refugees and mlgrant workers.
The aging coalition has protested
the plan, according to Czubln, be.
cause members fear senior programs would be lost In the shuf(]e if
'!hey had to compete with other
social programs for a dwindling
number of dollars
Czub!n said Percy assured the

l..

group the reorganization would have
no effect on the structure of pro·
gramming tor seniors.
''He assured us lt would be a
change of name, not of structure,"
he said.
The merger Is part of a comblnalion of the department's Devision of
Economic Assistance and Communi·
ty Services and is designed to save
money In administration, according
to HSS offidals. Twelve top ex·
ecutives would be laid off reducing
staff in two divisions.
Percy told coalition members the

plan calls for elimination of about
400 jobs but said the Bureau of

Aging's 30-member staff will not he
cut
"So far, we have only his word,
and we're not completely happy,''
said Czub!n. "We'll just have to walt
and see,"
Much of the money to fund state
aging programs comes from the
federal Older Amerlcans Act, and,
according to Cwbln. is segregated;at each step on Its way to the local
level.

With the return of warmer weather has come renewed complaints
about the operation of Quality Egg
Farm Inc.
The $1.2 m!Uion Brl~tol agri-business was recently given a temporary
reprieve from a court-ordered shutdown.

Circuit Judge Michael Fisher, In
April, granted Quality Egg's owner,
Chr!s Aralls, Northbrook, IlL, some
tlme to Install "state or the art"
equipment to abate the obnoxious
chicken manure odor that has
plagued area re~ldents for the past
dozen years.
Pending the Installation of
anerobic digester machines which
are supposed to convert odorous
manure to an odor-free fert!llzer,
Aralis made a commitment to reffiiWe the winter'~ accunmla!lon of

"Mr Aralis promised that the tUr·

manure In Kenosha County, much
less the Town of Bristol" Sum!
wrote. "I fear that this is the first
backward step from the promises
made by Qua]!ty Egg to Insure that
it wlll continue to operate."
In an earlier letter to Judge
Fisher, Ara!ls' Burlington a!!orney,
Milton Konicek, said that the rate of
removal of the manure from the
farm to a site in Rock County by an
Eau Claire firm was "disappoint"
ing," and that "In order to spePd up
the removal," some of the manure
would be hauled to the Elferlng
property
"We understand that Mr
EHerlng's farm Is not near any
residences and feel that removal to
this location would not be off<'nslve
and would be In everyone's best
Interests," Konicek noted tn his
letter to Fisher

tar ~s he is aware, his orde:· to
Quality Egg nns not bNcn viointed

He says he has not yet received the
first in a series of progre~s reports
on steps taken to eliminate the odor
problem. But the judge noted that he
retains jurlsdlctlon Ia the case and
that if the sltuatlon does not Improve, he would still enforce the
original shutdown order.
E!ferlng said that he plans to use
the chicken manure trucked to his
farm as fertilizer and Indicated he
would have no difficulty In using tbe
quantity removed from the egg
farm. Elfering said there were no
residences located near tbe spot
whe-re the fertilizer is piled. He
could not estlmaJe the tonnage of

bu!ld a fac!!ity to eliminate OP·
pressive manure odor !rom the farm
or go out of business.
Last month, Circuit Court Judge
Michael Flsher granted Chris
Aralis, owner of Quality Egg Farm,
time 10 install "stlite of the art"
equipment to handle the m!lllure
problem which has bothered many
area residents since the farm began
operations in 1969.
Wednesday night, the Planning
and Zoning comml.ttee voted unani·

mously to allow Atalis to install ~
at a total cost of more than $70,000a Brill anerobic digester, a machine
that can process between lG and U
tons of manure per loading. The
machine dries the manure into an
odorless, commercially usable
fertilzer.
The conditional use permit technically is for construction of a building
to house the Brill Digester. Ml!ton
Konicek, Ara!is' attorney. said the
building will cost $38,000 and the
digester $32,000. Konicek said the
facility would be operational within
a month
Konlcek said Ara!is expects to add
another digester shoi"tly after the
facility is built, bringing the total
cost to more than $100,000.
Some residents still weren't satis·
lied that the new machinery would
mean an end to their problems.
Russell Mott, who Jives near the
farm, said, "Some manure will be

spread since they will have to be
moving it to the digesters every 24
or 72 hours. We will still have to live
with the stench that we've had to
live with for the last !3 years.
"Mr. Aralis doesn't want to move
up here and live by this stench
(Aralis resides in Northbrook, 1!!.),
but be expects us (people in Bristol)
to"
Harold Middleton, who has spoken
out before against the Quality Egg
Farm, asked tile committee to hold
off granting the permit untll they
could see a demonstration of the
digester unit in operation.
He said, "Every year, we've been
promised relief. but we've never
gotten any."
Supervisor James L. Fonk, 22nd
District, echoed the views ol the
committee.
"If they {Quality Egg Farm) are
willing to make the capital expen-

ditures necessary, I feel they are
entitled to the opportunity to demon·
strate whether the machines they
are purchasing are capable of
eliminating the problem. I think we
should go ahead and Jet the man run
his business the way he sees fit. If he
fails, he'!! have more troubles than
Heinz has pickles," said Fonk.
Judge Fisher wlll review the
Quality Egg Farm situation In October, when he will decide whether the
smell problem has been corrected.
If not, he can still order the business
closed down.
The committee also granted a
shoreJand conditional use permit to
Mark Sonday for constrl.lct!on of a
parking Jot to serve an adult bookstore at 9230 I 20th Ave., the west I-!).!
frontage road.
Fonk asked Sonday why be plans
to construct an SO· by llo.toot Parking lot to serve a business that is

contained in a 3,()01)-square"foot
area
Sonday said the present lot wlll
accommodate autos but not large
trucks.
"The Town of Bristol has put up
'No Parking' signs along the frontage road, and we want to give the
semis a place to park," be said.
The bookstore is in Fonk's super·
visory district, and he said Wednes·
day, "We don't care to perpetuate
this type of business, but under the
taw, they have a right to operate."
Three Pleasant Prairie residents,
Carl Salerno, Paul Hostetler and
John Murray, were given condi,
tiona! use permits for con~truct!on
of ~eawalls along their Lake Mlchi·
gan property. All are located on lst
Avenue, south of Tobin Road.
Salerno said they will use pre-cast
concrete reinforced wllh steel to
fonn seawalls. The T-sba;md strut·
tu~s are HI- by flO,. feet.. weigt!55,000

pounds each and must be set In place
by a crane.
George Melcher, director ol Planning aod Zoning, said the group
approach "Is unique and should be
more successful than individual attempts to combat the problem of
shore erosion,"
Murray and Salerno have adjoining properties with several lots separating them !rom Hostetler on the
south.
In other considerations, the com·
mittee approved a conditional use
permit for Maria Anfang, Antioch,
Ill., for a project at the end o!125th
Street on the east stde of Rock Lake
in tbe Town of Salem.
Ms. Anfang asked permission to
constrnct a pond, install a drainage
culvert and place fll! on the proper·
ty.

equipment to abate the obnoxious
chicken manure odor that has
plagued area residents for the past
dozen years
Pending the Jnstallatlon of
aneroblc digester machines which
are supposed to convert odorous
manure to an odor-free fertilizer,
Aralis made a commitment to remove the winter's accumulation of
manure from the BrlBtol location.
Assistant Attorney General Maryann Sum!, in a May 6letter to Judge
Fisher, complained that although
"Mr. Aralis promised that the cur'rent accumulation of manure would
be trucked out of Kenosha County,"
It is being transferred to storage on
\he farm of Bristol Town Chairman
'~oel Elferlng.
"At this point, it is absolutely
ncomprehenslble that Quality Egg
\fould seek permission to retain the

would be h"au!ed-- to the Elferlng
property,
"We understand that Mr.
F.lferlng's farm Is not near any
residences and feel that removal to
this location would not be offensive
and would be In everyone's best
Interests," Konicek noted In his
letter to Fisher.
Originally, Aralls was to have the
winter's accumulation of chicken
manure moved from the Highway 50
egg farm by April 23.
"At the rate they're going,'' said
Harold Middleton, who lives near
the Quality Egg Farm and has been
a spokesman for those fighting the
odor problem, "It w!U be Halloween
befor.e the chicken houses are
cleaned out."
Judge Fisher Tuesday said that as
far as he Is aware. his order to
Qual!ty Egg has not been violated.

'"'"'· •""""'!': ~aw '""r~ were no
residences located near the Spl.ll
where the fertilizer Is piled. He
could not estimate the tonnage of
manure Involved
Years of complaints by neighbors
of the egg plant led to the fi!lng of a
suit by the state Department of
Justice. Two years ago, Judge
Fisher, after lengthy hearings,
found Quality Egg a public nuisance
and ordered the agri-business shut
down. The case was appealed to the
state Supreme Court. which last fall
upheld Fisher's ruling. Fisher, however. gave Aralls a final chance to
instal! modern equipment to
eliminate the persistent odor problem, call!ng It a "reasonable alter·
native to absolute closure of tile
business."
Aralls has agreed to take what·
ever ~teps necessary to abate tile
pllbUc nuisance caused by the odors

Gringo hikes ~/~~in American trail
By AL OSTROWSKI
Staff Writer
The book, ''Along the Gringo
Trail," provided the spark for
Gary Thompson, 1400 75th St.,
Town of Bristol, to embark on a
five-month back-packing trip
through Mexico, Central and
South America, ending in Santa
Cruz, Bolivia, covering approximately 4,500 miles.
He read the book by Jack
Epstein, a five-year veteran
back-packer who traveled the
roads in Latin America, Asia,
Middle East and Far East, while
attending college
Epstein chose the title because
it refers to those places in Latin
Amerjca frequented by young,

usually lightly-financed travelers. It's an actual trail and
frequently referred to by its
name, although the wagon ruts
may be missing. The trail runs
along the western coastlines
through small beach towns, Andean villages, Incan ruins, Amazon boat runs, national parks,
wildlife areas, and, of course, all
major capitals.
Thompson, who graduated
from Central High School in 1975,
attended the University of
Wisconsin-Madison for two years
and received his business-management degree from UW ·
Parkside in mid-term 1979.
Ambition to travel and spirit of
adventure within him, along with

several years of planning and
saving money for the trip made
it a reality, the 25-year-old traveler said. "I had no ties financially and with enough money, I
was able to take advantage of the
opportunity of youth."
Thompson drafted a proposed
itinerary for the trip which he
left with his parents, Charles and
Marilyn Thompson, proprietors
of the Thompson Strawberry
Farm. It charted his course as
he traveled through the Americas.
His mail from home would be
sent general delivery, time-delivered to advance capitals on
the journey. Initially, he planned
on reaching Peru or Bolivia,

with designated stops along the
way, following his schedule as
conditions permitted. "I told
myself, I'd go home when my
tennis shoes wore out," he said.
On Thursday, Nov. 6, 1980,
with a 60-pound backpack, mon·
ey belt with $2,800, mostly in
traveler's checks, and necessary
papers, he boarded the
Greyhound bus which would take
him to Laredo, Texas, and the
Mexican border.
His gear included a poncho,
two changes of clothes, an extra
pair of sandals, socks and underwear, first aid kit, maps, can·
teen, compass, gloves, hat,
candles, flashlight, mosquito
netting, insect repellent, tent

with rain water collected from
gutters caused the sickness, a
dysentery-type Illness.
It was on a chartered boat to
vlslt Incan ruins In Bolivia that
Thompson "thought It was all
over." He, three Argentinians
and 8 Cuban friend ran into 8
storm near a smal1 Island on
Lake: Tltlcaca. "There were no
life preservers, the water was
deep and cold at an elevation of
12,500 feet w!th rocky narrows
httween islands and a!! I wore
was a parka. We made H back to
the ls.land, spent tile nlght wl\h
vl!!agers and returned next day
after the storm subsided."
On another occasion he became stranded on the border
between Ecuador and Peru because of paperwork. He had
cleared Ecuador and needed an
entry stamp or Yisa to enter
Peru. However. Peru's border
guards closed up shop for the
dsy. "Come bock tomorrow," he
was told. He slept on the floor of
a steel hut on the border, waiting
for tomorrow.

and in Antigua, Guatemala. "It
was a change of scenery, with
refreshing air from the stifling
heat below. You could also view
the changing geography,·
meadowlands, vegetation and
snow of the mountains," he said.
Usually fatigued after a
strenuous day of hiking, evening
leisure hours were spent with
other travelers, conversing and
sharing experiences along the
tr_ail. After supper a vls!t to a
m.~um, attending a cock flght
or some theater-type entertain·
ment in the larger cities rounded
out the dey. He often read "War
and Peace," by Leo Tolstoy, !n
the evenings and finished the
book after a month's reading.
Of the many tra>'elers along
the trail, few were Americans,
less than 10 percent, Thompson
said. He met many Canadians,
along with Germans, Sw!ss, New
Zealanders and Spanish-speaking
South Americans. He even
brushed up on his Spanish, taking
a two·week course in Antigua.

A. Rhubarb often produces a large

produces seeds will go Into the root
to grow future leaves.
Q. My blrcb tree ill not leatlna out
on one or fwo branches, Whit Is
likely to be the problem?
A. Most llkely the problem !s due
to an Insect called the Bronze Birch
Borer. The adult corer lays eggs on
the bark In the summer which hatch
into grubs that bore under the bark
and cut off the circulation. Infested
branches should be pruned and

tary patrol. The Pan Am high·
way breaks there and travel Is
restricted to wading, dugout
canoes, banana boats and jungle
walking for the 12 to 36 hour trip.
He joined two New Zealanders
and two Colombian travelers to
share expenses along that traiL
The Colombians were jewel
thieves and were attempting to
smuggle money out of the country and were apprehended by
po!!ce. a 20-mi!e stretch took two
days of travel and encounters
with wild boar before reaching a
settlement.
Thompson took many pictures
along the way and shot six hours
of raw footage which he con·
densed lo a travelogue movie Gf
about 9iJ minmes dumtlon. llt'
had pre-arranged film drops in
Panama and Peru with friends of
the family. Included is the cele·
bration \n Mexico City of the 70th
anniversary o! the Mexican Revoh.ltion with President Senor
Loper Portillo reviewing festivities, similar to !.he Fourth ol
July in the United States, !ite"
style and culture ol the people,
wildlife of the Galapagos and
traveling along the gringo trail.
His journey came to an end in
Santa Cruz, which he entered
during their carnival time period, similar to our Mardi Gras.

He spent rive days in the city and
visited a sugar cane refinery
near the outskirts. Santa Cruz is
more European than other
cities, and a haven for Brazilian
tourists. Thompson was mis·
taken for one of them, and even
approached as a possible drug
purchaser, he said.
He booked air passage to Mi·
ami, discarded his shoes and
became a barefoot traveler for
the journey home. Most of his
other clothing also was worn out
from the rigors of the trail and
hls backpack weight dropped in
half, he said.
Much to his surprise, customs
setJ.tcb in Miami wa5 minimal.
There he treated himst'lf to thr
traditional American bnm.kfast
of bacon and eggs, toast, juice
and milk. When he remrned
home on Thursday, Apri\2, 1981,
he had $!0 on his person, Thompson said.
Thompson decided on a farming career midway through col.
lege, and slnce his return from
the Latln countries, has
purchased an adjolning farm
with his brother, Jeffery. They
will annex their acreage to the
family farm in production of
strawberries.
He has two sisters, Nancy, a
journalism student at Northern

By JA.MES ROHDE
St1tf Writer
BRISTOL - The "demon,"
mascot at Bristol Consol!dated
School for approximately 14
years, was eUmlnated Tuesday
when the board, by a 3·2 vote,
declded to exorcise the spirit.
Treasurer Edward Becker,
whose motion to retain the de·
monas the mascot died for Jack
of a second, vowed the ·demon
will be on the agenda for the
annual school district meeting in
July
"The people wm have the
vote," said Becker,
The highly emotional issue
was raised by a group of parents
who claimed the "evil little spirlt" was an affront to their religious bellefs.
One parent, Melissa Caril!o,
was authorized Oy the bo~rd in
April to hold a contest on chang·
ing the mascot.
Mrs. Carillo thought ~he had
board approval to change the
mascot, but the board contended
Tuesday it only gave Mrs. Carillo
permission to hold the conte~t
and propose a change in the
mascot.
The board voted 3-2 to rescind
its motion of April 5. Becker then
moved to retain the mascot but
th.e .motion died.
A second motion to remove the
demon as the mascot passed so
quickly on a 3·2 vote that many of
the 30 or more residents in the
audience were unaware that a
vote had been taken. Becker and
Michael Foerster cast the dissenting votes.
What will Bristol's new
mascot be?
A suggestion by a member of a
parents' group that the Saints or
Angels be considered drew jeers
!rom the demon supporters
It was unclear whether any
funds will be spent to remove the
Demons designation from team
uniforms before the annual meeting or remove the ghoulisb-look-

ing symbol hanging in the school
gvmnasium
The board delayed action on
the mascot question for more
than two hours after opening tht>
meeting at 7 p.m. for the reading
of minutes and treasurer's report. The b<Jard voted to go into
executive session at 7:\J p.m. to
interview custodial candidates.
During the board's absence, a
member of the audience produ~ed the old demon symbol, a
four· foot cutout of a figure some·
what resembling a leprechaun
'>':lth small horns protruding
from the head and a devilish
expression, and stood it against
the wall in the lunchroom.
When th<) board returned to
open session at 8:30, mem~rs
procl'eded to consider bids for
lawn-mowing, held first r~'ldings
on pollcies,_dis~ussed field trips
a'!d t~<blPd matters pertaining to
h<>o.ltl1 inq,rancc ;'Wd copy machines
When th~ board reached thP
bottom of t~e ngenda, board
president Terry laquint!\ limited
spNiker~ to two minutes each to
opeak on the demon i~sue.
One w'lmHn saiil :,he th·J,;ght

together, not divide them into
opposing groups. She admitted
she was in the minority but urged
the 'board w conSider adopting a
mascot whicll would not .M!end

A proponent lor f<'.taining the
demon said, "This scares :me. Ir
a small minority can bring about
a change in the mascot, are they
going to invade our library next
and remove books from the
shelves? Next we will have
censorship, and that sr,ares mt',"
Mrs. Jilqumta atked th<e board
prior to the vote, "Do we have to
retain something that offends
one-fifth of the fami!!es in this
district 11r whose children wW be
attending this district?"

BRISTOL - The "demon,"
mascot at Bristol Consolldated
School for approximately !4
yean, wa~ ellmlnated Tuesday
when the board, by a J-2 vote,
decided to exorcise the sp!rlt.
Treasurer Edward Becker,
whose motion to retain the de·
mon as the mascot died lor lack
of a second, vowed the -demon
will be on the agenda for the
annual school district meeting in
July.
"The people will have the
vote," said Becker.
The highly emotional issue
was raised by a group of parents
who claimed the "evil little spirIt" was an affront to their religious beliefs.
One parent, Melissa Carillo,
was authorized by the board in
April to hold a contest on cbaU£·
ing the mascot.
Mrs. Carillo thought she had
board approval to change the
mascot, but the board contende<i
Tuesday it only gave Mrs. Carillo
permission to hold the contest
and propose a change in the
mascot.
The board voted J,2 to rescind
its motion of Apri! S. Becker thPn
moved to retain the mascot but
the motion died.
A second motion lo remove the
demon as tbe mascot passed so
quickly on a 3·2 vote that many of
the JO or mare residents in the
audience were unaware that a
vote had been taken. Becker and
Michael Foerster cast tbe dissen·
tlng votes.

BRISTOL Modifications of
Bristol's sewage treatment plant
will not be seriously considered until
a sewer rehabilitation project is
complete
Following a Wednesday meeting
with town engineers, Town Chairman Noel Elfering said, "We really
won't know what we need until the
rehab work is done."
The project currently on the
drawing board involves work on the
district's network of manholes, CGT·
recting leaks, defective frames and
covers.
A major portion of the project is a
collapsed sewer line on J93fd Ave.
nue in the village in BristoL About 10
feet of line will be replaced
The project is <:-xpected to cost
$100,000 with the town paying $40,000
and the remainder co-ming from a
W1sconsin Fund grant from the Department of Natural Resources.
According to John Curtis,
Donohue and Associates, DNR officials have expressed some concern
about Bristol's system.
In a Jetter to the town. Curtis said
overflows at the treatment plant and
questionable accuracy of flow
monitoring equipment point to a
"'possible need for additional facil·
ities planning."
Curtis said DNR representatives
have raised the issue of upgrading
Bristol's laboratory or modifying
the treatment plan!.
"There is no specific action requested," said Curtis, but he urged
town officials to consider a facilities
plan to be paid with money that
remains in the town's existing planning grant.
"Facilities planning with an eye
toward plant modifications could be
carried out following rehabilitation
of the sewer system in the spring of
1983," said Curtis.
"Our lab is not quite up to par."
said Elfering, "'but we don't feel
we've got a serious problem."

The suit filed in Racine County
Circuit Court also asks a mandatory
injunction requiring the Bristol
board to approve rezoning of the
land in question, a four-acre parcel
on Highway 50, just west of I-94.
In other considerations Monday,
the board received a petition from
Upson and Mrs. Durkin requesting
that the Highway 50 property be
included in a proposed ~ewer district
expansion.
The Bristol board is involved in
preliminary discussions with Pleas·
ant Prairie concerning possible expansion of Sewer Utility District D.
The proposal includes making
sewers available to a commercial
district at the intersection of Highway SO and 1-94.
"The decision to provide such
services was made upon the petition
of property owners," said Upson
"We would expect equal considera·
tmn."
The board voted to file the petition for further study.
Board members voted to contract
with Richard Fisher, Salem, for
work on roads in Cherry Vista Subdivision. The project is expected to
include graveling of two mile~ of
road at an estimated cost of $16,000.
The roads include portions of
!19th Street to 122nd Street and
portions of l82nd Avenue to !87th
Avenue within Cherry Vista,
Elfering said Monday the gravelmg project will likely be followed by
sea!coating but not blacktop. Blacktopping would cost $60,000, he estimated.
A decision will be announced at
the June 14 board meeting, said
Elfering
In an update on Bristol's attempts
to find a new source of water for the
local water district, Elfering said a
proposed well north of Highway 50
has been designated floodplain.
"We think it would provide us
with a good water supply," he said,
'"and it would be a shame to lose It
just because it's in the floodplain.
We will have to apply pressure to
local zoning officials to get approval
for Ibis one."
In other action. the board:
-Announced that a hearing on a
cabaret license for the Brat Stop
will be June 3 at the Kenosha County
Courthouse.
-Denied a request by the State of
Wisconsin asking that the town install lights on freeway ramps at I-94
and Highway 50.
-Set a meeting for Wednesday,
May 26, at 6:30p.m. with engineers
concerning additional facilities
planning for the town·s sewage
treatment plant.

churches in this country. They have

ernment has having tax-exempt status - deductible like an other
churches, The name "Demon" does
have religious connotations since
people do worship l'emons as Christians worship Christ.
If churclles are to be separilted
from school, why should we have the
name demons? We certainly
couldn't call our school the Bristol
Christians.
The use of the name violates the
supreme court ruling of religion in
the public school system.
I feel this is no longer a voting
issue. By using the name demons
they are in violation of our state and
federal constitutions. Now that the
name was voted out, we trust that
this change will be carried through.

Tbat despicable "Demon" of 20
years bas finally been drlven from
the hal1s of Bristol SchooL It wasn't
easy, however, for lt took the undying efforts of three courageou~
school board members and 47 tealnus parents to bring about b1s final
demise.
For this unmatched devotion to
duty, I think some concerted community expre!!~lon of appreciation
should be given to thls intolerant
group for Uldr hard•fought but
hollow victory,. Might ~ suggest
something that could be worn with
undaunted pride, perhaps e. Medal of

Aging group adopts platform

Income ~s,~_curity major issue
By ARLENE JENSEN
Staff Writer

Income security is the major eoncern of senior citizens, according to

Joseph Czubin, and the Issue that
wm be given top priority In coming
montlls by the Coalition of Wisconsin Aging Groups.
Czubln, of Bristol, was elected
president of the coalition last week

at a state convention In WaUkesha.
The coalition represenl:!l 600 senior
citizen groups with a combined

membership ot about 30,000 peM!Ons.
"Old people are frightened that
they will lose their social security,"
said Czubln, "and their faith In their
government is being threatened. So-

eta! security ls a commitment to
citizens by the !ederal government,
and it must be honored."
At its Carrol! College conventhm,
the coalltlon endorsed an 8-polnt

program on Income security that
will provide the basis for action until
l!l115.
According to Cwl:lin, the coalition
support~ otrengthening ol the cur<
rent system and asks thil! prot!Cftlon
agamH infitHion tJ~ rn~Uf a P<Jrl ol
social security and supplemental

security income through the con·
sumer price Index or a method
designed to ref!ect inflation.
In its platform, the coalition also
seeks development of !ong·range
solutions 10 the probl«ms of t!rumclal stability of the program and will
attempt w have it separated !rom

the federal budget process to assure
a non-partisan posture for the program.
Czubin said the coalition wi!! ask
that Wisconsin continue Its commitment "to a state supplement to the

The 120,000 square foot. ruaU on a 12

and will house 25-30 factory outlet
stores. It is projected for completion Oct.
1 of this year, with approximately 75
percent of the space already !eased.
l.acated on Interstate 94 and Hwy. 50
in Bristol Township, the mall is 5 miles
north of the Dlinois/Wisconsin statsline,
making it the first factory outlet mall
serving the northern Dlinois and metro·
politan Chicago areas.
"Factory outlet malls are a new
concept to the Midwest, but a very
popular phenomenon in the East," said
developer Ken Klll'L "Because of the
economic hard times in which we are
living, outlet stores provide a major
impetus for corummers trying to maintain their standard of living by being
able to buy first quality goods at a
tremendous discount. We can sell
quality merchandise direct from the
fadory without the middleman or

Manufacturers have operated factory
outlets themselves for years. These

outlet stores sell first quality merchandise. The original outlets were only open
to employees, but eventually they
expanded to include the public.

J.•f-SA
BRISTOL - "Thanks but no
thallkll" Is the essence of the Bristol
Town Board's response to an offer of
100 tree tickets from the ownen of
King Richard's Falre.
Since 1979, falre ownen have glv·
en the town 2,000 free tickets to be
distributed among town residents.
That practice hll!l changed "due to
extremely Intensified promotional
schedules," said Robert Rogen,
vice president and genetll! manager
of Greathall Limited.
Rogers sent 100 tlcket!J this year
good for any date the talre Is open.
Town Cllalnnan Noel Elferlng returned the tickets with a letter that
said: "100 complimentary tickets
only cause problems In distribution.
Unless 1,000 or more tickets are
available, lt creates too many hard
feelings."
The falre at Highway WG and
!20th A venue opens this weekend.
At Monday's meeting, Supervisor
Donald Wienke appealed to town
residents for help with the 11nnual
Progress D11ys celebrlltton sched·
u!ed for July IO and lL
Wienke said volunteers are
needed for such duties as parking
cars and giving directions to visItors. Persons willing to help should
contact Wienke or call the town
offire.

Hard-fought legal battle ended

By ARLENE JENSEN
Staff Writer
PARIS - A change of zoning
approved Wednesday by the Paris
Town Board signals the end of a long
legal battle between the town and
Waste Management of Wisconsin.
It did

not come easily.

The unanimous vote that will al·
low Waste Management to operate a
landfill at County Hlghway K and
U.S. 45 represented "three hard
yes'es.'' according to Town Chairman August Zirbel, "but a decision
this Town Board had to make."
Zirbel said the town has spent
"two years and about $30,000 fight·
ing this. We finally decided if we
were going to get a landfill anyway,
we might as well make the best deal
possible "
James Morgan, attorney for
Waste Management, described the
P!).no contrt<ct t6 "lhf toilgh~>l one

I have handled, and I handle them
alL"

The site, dubbed "Pheasant Run
Landfl!l," will solve a long-standing
need in the tri-county area, according to Morgan.
"We're very pleased with it, but
we've got one heck of a lot of work
ahead of us to keep Paris residents
happy," he said.
Doris Harper, leader of Concemed Citizens for Parts, said she
has mixed emotions.
"We've done our best. We've
gained some valuable concessions,
but I'll still be watching out the
window," she said
With the zoning change, Waste
Management will be allowed to begin landfil!ing an 80-acre segment of
the property in addition to its existing 32-acre site. The company owns
500 acres but agrees they will not
use the remainder for a landfill

per year in monthly payments with
a 6 percent annual increase as long
as the operation exists, estimated at
20 years. Payments will be retroactive to January 1982, and an additional up-front payment of $20,000 is
to be made when the agreement is
signed.
Free dumping privileges lor Paris
residents, which have been avail·
able since August 19Bl, are also part
of the agreement.
Under terms of the pact, no hal·
ardous waste will be accepted at the
site and only waste from Kenosha,
Racine and Walworth counties will
be allowed. No waste from other
counties or other states will be
accepted.
The landfill is to be o!)(lrated only
between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. on weekdays. Exceptions may be approved
by the Town Board for Sunday operations in the case or special activltles s1.1ch as the county fair

Gohlke, a Paris resident, said he
fears the town's water supply will be
polluted by the landfilL He described landfills as "ticking time
bombs and the bigger the dump, the
bigger the bomb.''
Qumn said water In all wells

Paris sign~}~ndfill agreement
By ARLENE JENSEN
StaH Writer
PARIS - Paris Town Board
has agreed to dismiss all l!tlgatlon against Waste Management of Wisconsin, owneu of
the !andfUI site at the lntersec, t!on of highways 45 and K.

Meeting In special session Friday, the board signed an agreement with the firm spelling out
conditions for operation of a
landfl!! at the site.
The action follows a change of
zoning approved a week ago by

the Parl9 hoard, paving the way
tor an end to a legal battle that
cost the town $30,000 during the
past two years.
Town Attorney Cecl! Rothrock
said much of the credit tor the
agreement belongs to "Doris and
her gang" - Doris Harper, leader of the Concerne<l Cltlzens for
Paris, and a group of 25 resl·
dents, most ot them neighbors or
the s!te

"The committee had an.
enormous Impact on the nego·
t!atlons," said Rothrock, "an.d
the people of Paris owe them a
debt of gratitude."
With the agreement, Waste
Management w!!l be allowed to
conduct landflll!ng on an. 8()..acre
site on the property tn addition to
the existing 32-acre land!llL The
company owns 500 acres, hut
agrees It will not use the re·
malnder for a lan.dfi!L
Waste man.agement will pay
Paris $80,000 per year With a 6
percent annual Increase as long
as the operation exists.
Payments w!H be retroactive to
January, 1982. with an additional
$20.000 to be paid upon slgn.lng of
tl1e agreement.
Free dumping prlv!l!ges for
Paris residents which have been
available since August 1981 are
also a part of the agreement
Un.der terms ol the new pact,

no hazardous waste wlll be ac·
cepted at the Paris site and on.ly
waste from Kenosha, Racine and
Walworth Counties will he al·
lowed. ND waste from other
counties or other states will be
allowed.
LandUll!ng Is to be conducted
only between the hours of 7 a.m.
and 5 p.m. weekdays. In the case
of special activities such as the
county fair permission mayt be
gran.ted by the Town Board !or
Sun.day operation.
Other conditions Include
aesthetic screening, reasonable
traffic routes and 1\mlts on max·
imum height for filled land.
A committee of five person~
w!H be ap[Yll!lted to monitor the
operation, with the company pro·
viding a $45,000 budget for tl;sts
deemed necessary by the group.
ln addition to three members
from Paris, the committee also
will include two representatives
from Waste Management. Town

appointments are expected at the
n.ext meeting Clf the board set for
July 19, Town Chairman August
Zirbel satd.
Water In all wells within a
quarter mlle or the landfill site Is
· to be tested whenever residents
make a request, according to the
agreement. Three additional
monitoring well~ wlll be Installed
by the company.
Zirbel said, "I am relieved
that the land fill battle Is finally
over and I think the town wm
benefit from the agreement."
Money paid to the town by
Waste Management will be
placed In certlflcates o! deposit,
said Zirbel, with decisions on
spending to be made later.
"If there had been any Indications or health concerns, the
town would not have settled,"
said Rothrock, "but we were
laced with a situation where we
had 10 fish or cut batt. This l! a
good solution lor the town."

Happy Ha!f Century

issues still interest
I$'- 11

BASSETT- The local unit of
the Wisconsin Towns Association
voted Wednesday to resurrect
three Issues that died with the
spring adjournment of the Wisconsin legislature
The Kenosha County Branch of
the WTA met at Randall Town
Hall and agreed to push tor legislation on countyWide assessing,
dog licensing and Increased fees
tor highway fires.
Roger Prange, local chairman,
said au three Issues were introduced In the 1981·82 session of
the tegi~lature but all died and
must be resubmitted In the next
session
The WTA will ask that the
legislature provide a method for
withdrawing from the coun·
tywide as~esslng system elther
by a vote by county 11upervlsors
or a referendum ballot tor local
electors.

l-

"We want the law changed so
we can get out," said Bristol
Town Chairman Noel E!!erlng,
"the people don't want countywide assessing.''
Elferlng led a recent petition
drive that gathered 6,400 signatures frnm persons who seek to
abolish the system.
Bristol Treaaurer Doris
Magwltz told the audience,
"8,400 Is not a significant number
In a county the size ot Kenosha
with more than 120,000 residents."
Randall Supervisor Mark
Starzyk asked E\ferlng how
assessing would he handled
without the countywide system.
Elferlng said, "We would elect
or appoint an assessor. Before
we had a countywide system,
Chet Boyington used to cover
Bristol all by himself."

"The town only contained 900
parcels then,'' sa!d Mrs.
Magwltz, "Now we have 2,100,"
Jn the matter of dog Hcenslng,
the WT A wUl ask that towns be
allowed to keep licensing fees
rather than ~urn them over to the
county.
At present the license rund Is
administered by the county and
used to reimburse residents who
file claims because of damage
done by dogs. Common complaints Involve poultry or small
animals kllled by roaming dogs.
"There's no Incentive tor us to
collect the dog tax," satd Bristol
Supervisor Russe!l Horton.
"Eight towns collect fees and
send them to the county. The
claims are paid by a committee
that can't tell a goose from a
duck··
Horton said, "If we keep the

license money we'll take care of
our own claims "
The third item on the WTA's
list ol concerns Js state relm·
bursement for fire and rescue
calls on state highways. Currently the state reimburses highway
!Ires at a level of $100 per flte but
pays nothing lor rescue calls.
The WT A seeks an Increase In
tire reimbursement to $200 and
asks that local rescue squads be
paid SHIO tor each calt to an
accident on a state highway.
In other considerations at the
Wednesday meeting, members
voted to b!ll all towns and vHlages In Kenosha County to relmuburse the Town or Bristol lor
expenses Incurred In the antiassessing petition drive.
According to Elferlng, the
town spent $297 on paper, copy.
1ng and attorney tees.

A blue ribbon p;port
The Blue Ribbon Committee on
Countywide Assessing Is coming
up with a truly blue ribbon report.
The committee voted 9·2
Wednesday night, after spending
many hours studying the prob·
!em and Hstenlng to testimony
from all sides, to recommend
that Kenosha retain Its countywide assessing system.
This newspaper has supported
countywide assessing, and we
believe that if the recommenda·
tions that the blue ribbon com·
mittee is preparing are followed,
a great many more people will
support the system.
The committee has put in
many hours of hard work study·
lng the problem, but more Importantly, it has-been thorough
and listened to all sides.
The committee has ]earned
much and It has much to report,
but we believe the most reveal·
ing thing learned is that the
countywide assessing system, es·
tabHshed here 10 years ago, has
never been properly supported.
Indeed, It could he claimed that
It has been sabotaged by not
heing providing with the per·
sonnel or aid which it needed.

As CommitteE' Chairman Atom
'l dcn't think i\'s

Lake George renovation planned

District to hire lake consultant
t-/'l->i)J-

By ARLENE JENSEN

StaH Writer
BRISTOL- Members of the Lake
George Protection and Rehabilitation District Friday authorized hiring an engineering consultant to
develop a plan to renovate the 59·
acre lake.
At the annual meeting of the Lake

George property owners, the approximately 25 members attending
approved an $1l,500 budget for the
coming year.
The budget includes SZ,5UU lor tne
study. Paul Johnson, an engineer

involved in rehabilitation projects
for Lilly Lake and Twin Lakes, told
members that lor $1,500 to $2,500 he
could develop an "engineering plan
and report with all the information
you need to submit to tlte Department of Natural Resources."
A 1979 study showed that sediment
accumulated in Lake George is 15 to
20 feet deep in places. If dredged,
the lake would be up to 30 feet in
depth. The relatively sltallow hottom encourages weed growth and
winter fish kilL

Richard

Wedepohl,

a DNR

spokesman, told residents that
dredging is the most permanent
solution but that only some state
funds and no federal money Is available to help pay for a project that
could coSt up to a half million
dollars.
The most the state could contribute to such a project would be
$100,000 leaving the approximately
175 lake district members to pick up
the tab for the halance.
Alex Schmidt, a member of the
district, said, "If you don't dredge,
the lake will be a swamp In 10
years."

Another resident, Gene Adamski,
objected to "throwing good money
after bad'' when he called tor "some
real facts."
Samuel Iaquinta said, "We don't
have $50{1,000 or even $200,000 for
dredging, but we should start planning and If funding becomes available, we'll be ready."
Wedepohl said there has been
"some movement" in the DNR but
no definite plans and no money
approved yet to assist districts In
the cutting of lake weeds as part of
more comprehensive rehab!litat!on
plans.

The cost of weed cutting is borne
by lake district members. At last
year's district meeting, two cuttings
were budgeted for this summer. The
first cutting is scheduled this week.
The lake weed-cutting removes
ahout 16 truckloads.
At Friday night's meeting in the
Bristol Town Hall, residents OK'd
an $8,500 budget item for weed
harvsting in the summer of 1983.
In the annual election of com·
missioners, Timothy Nolan was reelected to a tltree·year term. Gerald
Mailman was elected for three

years to replace Paul Bloyer, who
served as commission cltairman
during the past year.
They join another lake resident
member, Chuck Bizek, and
BristolJown Chairman Noel Elfering on the protection and rehabilitation district commission.
A fifth member, who Is supposed
to be a member of the Kenosha

developer Kenneth Karl for
cashing in early.
Karl opened his first mall in
West Bend last November. Now
he's concentrating on his second,

larly shop at specialty and department stores
AI one time, Karl explains,
factory outlet stores were set up
next to manufacturing plants to
sell overstocks, slightly defective items, and closeout goods.
Such stores were very common
along the eastern seaboard and
in small Midwestern towns
where a single factory was a
major provider of jobs.
But times have changed and
manufacturers sought new mar·
keting approaches. Outlet malls,
at first containing only five or
six stores, began opening in New

a 120,000-square-foot structure
being built at I-94 BUd Highway
50 in Kenosha County.
A firm believer in trends, Karl
says it's only a matter of time
before outlet malls are common
throughout the country.
"It's for people who want to
buy quality fOOds at half the

England where most new big
business ideas get their first acid
test.
"Because of high technology,
manufacturers are now able to
produce more goods at a cheaper
cost," Karl said. "And in order
for a manufacturer to grow, he
has to have good distribution.
But today, retailers are ordering
fewer goods and have geared
their ordering to the seasons of
the year.
"This frustrates the manufacturer because it means he produces less and his factory is
turning into a warehouse. With
outlet malls, you can eliminate

"No," said Cogdill. "Our purpose

Dehydrators help save
your garden surplus
The popularization of elec·
tric food dehydrators in the
past five years has added
drying to the altematives of
practical ways to store
garden surplus, explains
Mary Bell, Madison, who
teaches classes on the subject
for the University of
Wisconsin-Extension.
Bell, who also has written
two books on dehydration,
says she finds tremendous interest in the subject in her
travels around the state.
In hot, dry climates, food
can be air and sun dried in a
short time, but in the cool
humidity of Wisconsin an
artifldal drying t:llmate must
be created.
A dehydrawr is actually no
more than a box with heat to
dry the air, a fan to circulate
it around and through the food
and racks to lay the food on.
Dehydrators sell for about
$150.
Kitchen ovens can be used,
but not very satisfactorily. A
temperature of 140 degrees is
ideal. The lowest setting on
most ovens Is !51l. Ovens do
not have fans to circulate the
heat, so the door must be !eft
open, which is not energy
etrecient and can De dangerous in gas ovens, Be!! says.
Convection ovens can be
used because they have fans
and !ow temperature settings.

home.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture Bulletin 217, avail·
able at the public library,
Includes plans for natural
draft and portable electric
food dehydrators. It also includes charts of drying times
for common foods.
Bell said dehydrating is
considered moderate in cost
among t.he food preservation
methods - more expensive
than canning and less expensive than freezing.
To figure the cost of energy
involved in dehydrating, figure !he cost of SOO walts of
e!ectrldty at 2\11 cents an
hour times the number of
hours needed to dry the food,
Bell says.

How long the food will take
to dry depends on the type of
foOO (its moisture content)
and how thick it is sliced.
Most foods take from 12 to
48 hours, Northway says.
In choosing a dehydrator,
Rose Brueske, of Bristot, who
has done extensive home de·
hydrating says an accurate
temperature control is essen·
tial. She pointed out it is also
most cost effeclent to have a

food as possible can be dried

If maverick retailer Bill Jage's life
were like one of those old Sixties
surfer movies, right now he'd be
tanned, sm1llng and rldlng the perfect wave.
Although be's taken a few spills
along the way, Jage more often has
ridden the crest of marketmg waves
over the past decade as the founder
of the WOQd~;>n Nickel chain and a

Jage is capJtaliz!ng on the receS<
sion, which bas left many clothing
manufacturers with huge overstocks,
by buying truckload quantities of
name·brand clothing and selling !t at
discount prices.
Warehouse sales
Since the beginning of the sum·
mer, he bas held warehouse sales
nearly every week in Midwestern
ctties, and plans to hold sales during
50 of the next 52 weeks. Last month,
Jage brought his warehouse sale to
State Fair Park in West A!lls tor the
fourth time since January.
The sales - usua!ly over five days
- have been successful heyond his
expectations, Jage claims, adding
that they usually gross "!n the -mid·
slx·figurM."
Billed as the "Great Designer
Cloths Out," the recent State Fair

sale was no exception. Over 20,000
items of clothing were sold during
the five-day sale.
Although the soft-spoken Jage
says warehouse sales have been a
bonanza this year, he doesn't count
on them carrying the company next
year.
"We're taking advantage of the
economy and the fact that many
manufacturers have large inventories," he Sllid, addlng that everything
could change overn!ght
"This business is so volatile that
next year we could be making $2

doing something completdl' differ~n\.'

into small work crews, the Kenosha

Youth advisor, Patsy Volk, said the
purpose of the project was to help
needy fam1lies with home repairs. "We

were not trying to tum them into Methodists or middle class Americans. The

As a nine yeor veteran of the Kenosho County Sheriff's deportment, Don
Piendkowski's objective has always been to provide the type of low enforcement that
makes Kenosha County o sole place to live.

Yet, m Kenosha moves into a new ero in County Government ond the population
continues to grow. the old methods of low enforcement need to improve. This meon.l
Kenosha must hove a Sheriff who will utilize and develop the latest techniques
available in low enforcement

Improvement, however, also means, new people dedicated to
their jobs. People who start with goals and through solid
leadership ... meet those goals.
Dan Pienclkowski is just such a tondidote.

Common interests In public atfairs, current events and the Jaw
brought two local public otticlals
to tie the knot Saturday.
State Rep. Mary K. Wagner,

33, and Judge John Malloy, 54,
were married Saturday In a
small ceremony for family and a
few close friends at St. Francis
Xavier Catholic Church, Brighton. An evening dance was beld at
the Wheatland PaviUon. They
planned just a one-day honey-

moon, possibly to Chicago, as
other commilments - her reelection campaign and new law

practice (she recently graduated
from the Universlty of

Wisconsin-Madison Jaw school)
and his heavy court calendar -

Mary Kay Wagner and John Malloy

prevented a ·longer one at this
time.
!t was a Sunday afternoon ln
1976 when Mal!oy fiut met the

petite Ms. Wagner and her father
at St. Mary's Catholic Church's
summer festival. An elementary
school teacher lor the Bristol
Consolidated Schools, she was
running for her first elective office - county clerk.
"She was very striking, very
attractive, very effervescent,''
the judge remembers. "She was
always smiling, always had a
good word for everyone, so
fresh."
Once Ms. Wagner was elected,
the two periodically ran Into each
other at the courthouse. By the
time Ms. Wagner was elected to
the state assembly in 1978, the
two had begun datlng.

Neither of them remembers
exactly when or what their first
date was, hut they think they
went to dinner and to a show. The
relationship became serious
about a year and a half ago and
then, this spring, they set the
wedding date.
"You come to a point when you
realize that you would probably
he happier he!ng married," Ms.
Wagner said.
Because judges are non-partisan elect!ve officials, Malloy will
not be a hie to accompany his wlte
to political functions, and hecause of their relationship,
neither Ms. Wagner nor any of
her law partners can try a case !n
Malloy's court.
They will also be apart three
days a week when the legislature
is in session.

Bristol Post Of(ic(! getting the squeeze
I

By ARLENE JENSEN
Staff Writer
The mail must go through, but a
request to build an addition at the
Bristol Post Office didn't.
The Kenosha County Board of
Adjustment Thursday denied a request from Howard Murrah, owner
of the building, who proposed an
addition within 18 feet of !99th Avenue.
Harold Moe, real estate specialist
tor the Postal Service, said the
Bristol operation is in need of an

additional 1,000 square feet for
working space and an increase in the
lobby area.
"The Post Office has been out of
lock boxes for sometime," said Moe.
He said the proposal was designed
to rm a lO·year need for the Bristol
area.
Town Chairman Noel Elfering
said both the Bristol Town and
Planning boards were unanimously
opposed to the plan because it would
violate county zoning ordinances.
"The property has 50 feet in back

'

j

A

of the building," said Elfering.
He suggested the addition be re·
designed to conform with zoning
requirements.
In denying the variance, Adjust·
ment Board members Sheila Siegler
and Louis Fowler said Murrah had
not proven hardship, the key ingre·
dient in granting a variance.
·'It appears that an addition could
be built elsewhere on the property
and made functional," said Fowler.
Moe said, "The hardship may be
that Murrah wt!l end up with an

empty building.
"'Hardship has nothing to do with
economtcs, said Mrs. Siegler.
DESPITE A recommendation
from Pleasant Prairie that Franklln
Angotti's variance he- denied, the
Board or Adjustment lQ.ranted permission to complete the garage that
is already under construction
A letter from Roger· Prange.
Pleasant Prairie town clerl'\, recommended denial of Angotti's request
because construction was started
prior to obtaining permits.

Angotti's property is on the
southwest corner of l03rd Avenue
and Bain Station Road.
THREE OTHER variances were
granted including one to the Salem
Volunteer Fire Department tor construction of a 35- by 50-foot addition
ooto their station at Highway 83 and
83rd Place.
Aadrew Lorentz, fire department
secretary, said the addition will be
used to house equipment.
Edward Duba, 3405 47th Ave., was

given permission to construct a
fence on his property. Duba's lot
does not abut a public street bu·.! is
located on an easement.
Noel and Donna Karow wetce
granted a variance for construction
of a 10· by 12·foot addition on theile
home just west of the intersection of
County Highways F and EM.
A petition from Wilson Shierk,
5935 82nd St.. was tabled until the
meeting Oct. 7 to give Shierk an
opportunity to amend his request for
construction of a fence.

Crim~ is not JUS! <!
big city problrm. Capt Roger

Zeihen told a group of Bristol resi·
dents Wednesday
Crime in rural areas has been on
the increase since City residents
began moving to the country
"There was a time when most of
the residents out here were
farmers," said Zeihen, "and there
wa~ always somebody home on the
farm. That's not the case with people who live out here and work in the
city."
Zeihen said burglaries increase in
the fall when children go back to
school. If both parents work, many
homes are empty all day.
Zeihen and Officer Tom Johnson,
both of the Kenosha County Sheriffs
Department. are working with tesi·
!Ients of Oak Farms Subdivision to
set up a Neighborhood Watch pro·

The essence of a watch program
is exactly that: watching
'"It's the eyes and ears of the
community working together," said
Johnson
The officers recommended several steps for a successful program·
-Watch over your neighbor's
property·and report any suspicious
persons, vehicles or activity to local
law enforcement agencies
-Notify your neighbors when you
will be away, but don't advertise it
to the entire community. Know
when your neighbors will be absent.

c!es.

-Post large Neighborhood Watch
signs at the entrances to y()tlf neigh·

The Oak Farms program will be
operated on a grid system, said
Gordon Peaslee, organizer of
Wednesday's meeting. All persons !n

Much of the watching and report·
1ng 1s routine. said Johnson, such as
jotting down hcense numbers of
strange cars or descriptions of suspicious persons and making a report
to a block captain, who, ·m turn, will
report to the Sheriff's Department
But some situations call for immediate action.
"If you see someone kick in a
door, don't call your block captain.
Call your sheriff," sajd Johnson.
Be sure to give complele information to the law enforcement agency,
said Johnson
"Many persons get excited and
forget that we don't know who is on
the other end of the phone line.
We've had people call and tell us to
send a squad, then hang up without
giving a location."
Both officers csutioned citizens
against trying to apprehend criml-

"We only want your eyes and

you to do our JOb."
The Oak Farms project is stili in
the early stages of organization with
a steering committee appoinled at
Wednesday's session. The project
will be guided by a five-man com·
mittee including Don LeMay,
Stanley Malin, Thomas Merrick,
Mtchael Cull and Jerry Truskowski.
Johnson and Ziehen said Kenosha
County authorities will encourage
other areas to develop their own
programs. Slnce Neighborhood
Watch began in 11172, 25,000 com·
munities throughout the country
have started similar programs.
Ziehen said, "Our department
simply does not have enough personnel to provide the kind of cov·
erage we would like to have. We've
been told we will have to cut our
budget. That could mean cutting
people"

Amusement, beer licenses approved

Bristol "V~tned of heavy mall traffic
By ARLENE JENSEN
StaH Writer
BRISTOL - Town officials have
been warned to expect traHic prob·
!ems this weeKend because of the
opening of Factory Outlet Centre at
the intersection of HH and Highway

50.
J.T. Reuter, general manager of
the mall, told the board Monday
25,000 to 50,000 shoppers per day are
expected <luring the opening week·
end. R\bbon·Clltting ceremonies are
scheduled at 9 a.m. Friday
"When we opened our West Bend
mall, there were cars parked a mile
away," Reuter told the board
F2 predicted the number of shop-

pers wilt level off after the first few
days. The mall parKing lot holds 900
cars.
At Monday's meeting, Town
Board members approved an
amusement license for Danny's
Place, Ltd., a restaurant in the
mall, but ma<le approval'contingent
on favorable reports from the
Bristol building inspector, fire chief
and constables.
Dennis DeVries said he expects to
instal! 10 video game machines on
the premises.
The board also 1ssued a Class B
beer license for Danny's Place listing DeVries as agent.
THE AGENDA INCLUDED a

vote by the board to favor continua·
tion of the county's cabaret license.

The action was taken in response to
an inquiry from Assistant Corporation Counsel Wil!iam Nlckolai,
who has asked all towns in Kenosha
County if they feel a cabaret ordinance is sti!\ needed.
"To put tb.e question another
way," Nicko\ai asked in a letter,
"does the ordinance serve as an
effective and necessarylaw enforcement tool?"
The

Kenosha

County

Board

sheriff's committee voted Sept. 14 to
review the continuing need for the
ordinance.

"l think it's a good idea to hang

onto it," said Town Chairman Noel
Elfering "It gives the Sheriff's Department the authority to close a
place <lown if things get out of
hand."
Supervisor Donal<l Wienke asked
for a review of the document and
possible changes,
Board members approve(! a ken.
nel license for David and Kathleen
Cogdill, 11920 !16th St., subject to
review by the Kenosha County Oflice of Planning and Zoning.
Cogdill said he plans to construct
a new building to house his six dogs
but promised to place the structure
on the west side of his prop~rty,
away !rom his nearest neighbors.

In response to questions from the
board, Cogdill said he has no plan to
increase the number of dogs but only
keep the ones he has until he can
find homes for them,
A ONE-YEAR EXTENSION was
granted on an agreement with Roger
Dllmke, McHenry, IlL, for the be"
ginning of construction on a parcel
in the town industrial park, Dumke
purchased a lot in the park in 1981
and agreed to begin construction of
his screw machine plant within one
year but told the board in a letter
that economic conditions have
forced a change in plans.
"H is still my intention 10 buil<l
and occupy th~ site when economic

conditwns permlt," said Dumke
In other considerations;
-Cancelled the Oct. ll board

9, at 9 a.m.
-Announced that the Lake
George Rehabilitation District will

Tomorrow anew shopping
adventure unfolds for
Greater Kenosha ...
TOMORROW morning a unique experience awaits
the people of Greater Kenosha ,
the new
FACTORY OUTLET CENTRE open at Highway 50
and I-94. Twenty-mne stores carrying fine
merchandise of every description will open their
doors.
But you will quickly discover a difference between
the OUTLET CENTRE and other shopping facilities.
These stores offer their merchandise at substantial
savings. They can do this because the clothing and
other wares that they sell come directly from the
factories where they are produced.
<

Tomorrow b the bfg dny!

•

This is an idea that began in the mill towns of New
En¥land and is gradually spreading throughout the
Umted States. THE FACTORY OUTLET CENTRE is

the

lar~est

and most diversified facility of its kind

ever built in the midwest.

The firms listed below are pleased to be associated
with Ken Karl, president of Factory Outlet Centre,
Inc., who has pioneered this new concept in retailing.
We appreciate this opportunity to address our skills
to this 120,000 square foot structure that wlll attract
hundreds of thousands of shoppers to the Kenosha

area.

The centre will employ more than 200 J'ersons,
provide 900 parking spaces for shoppers an consist
of attractive, durable, fireproof materials. Your

comfort and safety are assured.
We wish to express our appreciaiion to the town of
Bristol and its competent officials whose cooperation
and understanding enabled us to complete this
project on time , , , in 120 days.
A new adventure in shopping awaits you, Don't
deny yourself or your purse this pleasure.

Hassle over
mascot ir.
students
By ARLENE JENSEN
St.U Wr:lter
BRISTOL ~ Some 30 students
manned picket lines at Bristol
Grade Schoo! Tuesday, fed up with
the continuing controversy that after nearly five months leaves them
without a school mascot.
"The kids are insulted," said
Joann Bajek, mother of two Bristol
students. "They were given a vote,
but it was taken away."
The mascot hassle began last
spring when the school's long-time
symbol, the Bristol Demon, was
banished by a 3-2 vote of the school
board. The board's majority reacted
to complaints from a group of parents, who felt the Demon was an
alfront to their reHgious beliefs.
At the school district's annual

meeting, Melissa Carillo told the
board that the Demon mascot "promotes the Satanic religion."
Other parents disagreed and in·
dicated their preference in a ques·
tionnaire circulated throughout the
district.
Lorraine Rodgers, mother of five,
called the whole argument "ridiculous."
"We are Christians also, but we
have never found the Bristol Demon
ofren~ive," said Mrs. Rodgers. "It
was just a mascot, nothing more."
Two of the Rodgers children
echoed the sentiments of their moth·
er. Sandy, !6, now a high school
student, said, "I never thought the
Demon was mean or evil."
Five-year·Old Roxanne Rodgers, a
Brls!Ol kindergarten student, said,
"The Demon was an OK guy, and he
should have been allowed to stay."
But when school began in September, the devilish cartoon character
was gone from the school's gymnasium wall.
Students were asked to suggest
names for a new mascot. TheY sent
a list of 52 names to the school board
which selected five and asked the
students to express tbeir preference
from that group.
The students balloted and the winner with l56 votes was Renegade.
There were l47 votes for Bobcat, 66
for Badger, 21 for Pistols and five
for Chargers.
But that didn't solve the problem.
"Some of those who didn't like the
Demon don't !ike Renegade either,"

Bristol celebrate-s its industrial park
By STEVE LUND
5taH Writer

BRISTOL - Noel Elferlng,
Bristol town chairman, looks at
the Bristol Industrial Park and
admits the town has been lucky.
"I'm amazed we've got as
steady employment as we do,"
he 1mys. "It's pure luck."
' Most of the 16 companies In
the industrial park have escaped
serious damage in this recession.
Employment is down slightly at
a few, and Therm Cast Corp., a
foundry, was shut down temporarily at the end of the summer, but others are expanding.

sewer construction.
"We're not Interested in residential growth," he said. "We
prefer slow, steady growth.''
E\fering likes best the employment opportuities that keep
Bristol residents working close
to home.
"1 can't stress enough that it
gives local people an opportunity
to work right in the community," he said.
While many of the companies
in the park are new businesses or

from nearby areas and might
have moved farther away when
they needed to expand. BeautiVue Products Corp. which employs 90, moved from nearby
Lake George,

from Salem. Pride Abrasives
moved from Kenosha, as did
O.S.D. Enterprises. Illinois
Range, which employs 100, came
from Mount Prospect, HI.
The price of the land attracted
a lot of them. An acre at Bristol
sells for $10,000. Town officials
estimate the cost of land plus
utility connections and fees to be
about $13,500 an acre.
Some of the companies said
other industrial parks cost
double what it cost for space at
Bristol.
"I think the town is sitting on a
gold mine here," said C!etus
Seltz, president of Westosha
Tool. "If the economy would

Most of the time since it moved
to Bristol from Round Lake, HI.,
the shop has worked 50 hour

"The last six weeks have been
really tough," said Farrel
Cockrum, president. "Orders
have dropped oft drastically."
Dem Cee Form provides tool·

business is directly related to
levels of production.
Business for both O.S.D. and
Beautl-vue Is related to the housIng industry. O.S.D. has about

Luck may have kept people

was a combination of reasonable
land prices, adequate utility service, convenient access to 1·94
and the small-town atmosphere,
the employers say.
The growth of the park has
been gradual, which is just fine
with Elfering. Bristol is not
trying to become a boom town. It

Elfering likes best the em·

ploys 90, moved from nearby

"There was really no con·

was a natural."

up fast. We're right in the middle
of everything here, and you can't
buy Industrial property as cheaP
as you can get It here."
John Poplar, of Gear Rack
Manufacturing Co., hopes Seltz
is correct. He and his father,
Henry Poplar, own 22 acres of
the industrial park and another
45 acre tract adjacent to the
park. They have deve!oped some
of the properties that now house
businesses such as Micro Finish
and LT.O Industries, which
manufactures printed circuit
boards.

ployment.
Individual .companies have
been hurt by the recession.

the shop has worked 50 hour
weeks.
"The last six weeks have been
really tough," said Farrel
Cockrum, president. "Orders
have dropped off drastically."
Dem Cee Form provides tool·
ing for screw machine shops. It's
business is directly related to
levels of production.
Business tor both O.S.D. and
Beauti-vue is related to the bous·
ing industry. O.S.D. has about
five fewer employees now than
in the past. Employment at
Beauti·vue is holding steady, but
the company is feeling the pinch.
"The last time home construe·
tion was down, we weren't hurt
at a!!," said Robert Grumbeck,
vice president. "People who
weren't buying houses were redecorating. This time it definitely has affected us because people
aren't even redecorating."
Tom Gorlinski, president of
Therm Cast, which makes
aluminum castings for a variety
o! industries, said this recession
has been unusuaHy severe.
"Basically, when we flnd that
one or two industries are down,
we would always have three or
four that were st!H busy," said
Gorlinski. •'This recession is
quite a demanding animal ln the

time."
Still, Gorlinski credits the
move to Bristol with keeping the
company alive.
"Without a move out here four
years ago, we certainly wouldn't
be in business today," he said,
Therm Cast started in Chlca·
go, but Gorlinsi said Its neigh·
borhOOd deteriorated so badly
that it was difficult to get people
to come to work because of the
street crime. The company also
suffered numerous break-ins.
Therm Cast owned property in
a Lake County, Ill., industrial
park, but that park did not have
public sewer and water systems.
Gorllnski, who has lived In
Salem tor 13 years, heard of a
building for sale near Bristol
and, while investigating that possibility, he found the industrial
park to his liking,
I!linols Range Co., which manufactures restaurant equipment
has not been hurt by the recession. "We've been expanding/' saiD Walter Krzak, opera·
!ions manager "We've added
about 20 percent to our !abor
force in tile last three months."
The company started In Mount
Prospect, I!l, where it still has a
plant. Krzak said the company
expanded in Bristol because "it

pipefitters and steamfitters,
electricians and sheet metal
workers have members at Illi·
nols Range. Krzak said the company has always maintained
good relations with the unions.
"Many of our customers i"e·
quire a union label," he said.
Few others besides Merkt and
Illinois Range are expanding at
the moment, but severa(bf the
tenants of the industrial park are
in growing stages. ITO is only a
year and a half old, and it has
been busy enough that its work·
ers have put in a few 60-hour
weeks recently. Seitz said West·
osha Tool bas expansion plans.
ITO, like most of the companies in the park, likes Bristol
because of its convenient access
to both Chicago and Milwaukee
markets. There are many Industrial parks between the two
cities with simi!ar convenience,
however,
"We picked Wisconsin over
IHinois hecause my partner
{Darryl Ito) was from here, and
we found a bank in Kenosha that
was wiliing to work with us,"
said Fred Schuemelfeder, vice
president of l.T.O
Two more companies have
bought land in the industrial park
but have not built yet.

BRISTOL - Supervisors spent
considerable time Monday night
leading a discussion of sewers during a public h~arlng conducted as
part of their ·regularly scheduled
Town Board meeting.
The hearing was intended to take
testimony from c!tzens on a pro"
posed new sewer district to serve
commercial ventures at 1·94 and
State Highway 50.
Although there was no testimony
as such, Robert Hess, who owns a
vacant parcel of land on the
northwest corner of the Intersection,
Inquired on behalf of nearby residents as to just what role residents
would play In the proposed district.
"None," said Town Chairman
Noel E!fering. "Absolutely none.
Thl'i district would serve com·
merdal establishments only. There

r IctiUier:s VI'\.

'I .

would be no service or coHt to
residence~."

The Howard Johnson Motor Inn
runs its own sewage treatment plant
and has offered to donate that facllity to Bdsto! should the town opt to
establish what would be known liS
Utility District 3 for Sectionfi land
12 in Bristol, a separate district to
serve businesses on that busy Jn·
tersection.
~ The Howard Johnson plant would
have to be expanded to serve not
only the existing commercial ventures but also any which may be
established in the next 20 years.
"We're looking at 20 years,"
Elfering said. "No one can say for
sure what wlll happen by then, but
we would want to build a plant which
could be expanded to meet the needs
that can reasonably be expected."
That would mean a faclllty that
could handle 160,000 gallons or water·

said Mrs. Remenium, which is not
large enough to accommodate fork
lift trucks. Bailed material weighs
from 200 to 400 pounds, she said,
making it difficult to handle without
machinery.
The planning board voted unanimously to recommend approval of
the rezoning. The matter will go to
the Town Board Monday, Nov. B,

Pleasant Prairie engineers,
Crlspeli·Snyder of Elkhorn, say such

Monday, Bristol supervisors voted
3-0 to have !){.maid Zen~. of Donohue

engineering firm, proceed w!th a
feslb!llty study to determine the
cost effectlve!lells of businesses
hooking up with Pleasant Prairie as
opposed to Bristol creating Its own

Tllat study will coat $8,000 and
Zen~ says It wlll take no longer tban

"'We hope to have 1t comp!ete<J by

Elfering said today he believes
the study w!H show it's just as cost
effective for Bristol to build its own
plant and operate it under town
control than to join with Pleasant
Prairie.
Why?
"Because he (Zenz) better say
that or that he can take his $8,000
and go home," Elfering said fol!ow"
lng Monday's Town Board meeting.
"[f he comes back and tells us to go
with Pleasant Prairie, his firm
won't get to build our treatment
plant. If he wants a $660,000 job,
he'll tell us to build our own.
"Of course," Elferlng added,
"he'll have to show us that in black
and white."
.
Eight parcels of !and on near that
Intersection are presently Involved,
each zoned commercial.

lnduded are Hess' vacant parcel
on the northwest corner,
McDonald's Restaurant. The Brat
Stop, Howard Johnson, Checker Oil,
Benco (formerly Texaco) Oil, the
former Cheese Stop, now a restaurant, and the new Factory Outlet
Centre.
"The outlet mall was the
cruncher," Elfering said Monday.
"They really made it obvious something had to be done. They're sitting
there with the biggest sewage hold·
log tank in the state of Wisconsin.
It's 60,000 gallons.
"The businesses have been saying
for quite some time they could use a
sewer system and the mall Is the
cruncher."
"It's not difficult to form a sewer
district," said Town Attorney CecH
Rothrock. ·"II depends on what the
board see~ fit to do. It makes no

<:;.

diftlorence, legally, whether !hey
hook into Pleasant Pruirie or create
their own."'
Still to be determined are how
such a district would be funded and
what type of facility would be built.
"If you go with a man-macte
swamp," 5aid Zenl, "you can get~
percent funding from the federal
government."
Zenz said there are no man-made
~wamp facl!ities in Wisconsin but
they are used extensively through~
out the country.
"In fact, !n Florida, they've been
using natural swamps ror years,'' be
said, "They contain all the rlgbt

In other business, supervisors approved· bartender applications for

At the end of the year, Forbes,

elderly are getting too much
attention and money
"It think it (federal funding)
will dry up. It was intended that
way in the Older Americans Act
of 1965
"They dia·n 't expect money to
be handed out indefinitely
think that Will happen to all
social service prognuns for the
agetl."
Services to the elderiy,
trimmed by federal and state
funding cutbacks. will be provided by private agencies and
local units of government where
possible, Forbes predicted.
Forbes, who is breaking his
final ties with the county's senior
vrograms for health reasons, is
considered one of the first leaders of Kenosha's older community, He became involved in issues
affecting the elderly soon after
his retirement from Anaconda

American Brass in 1966.
Two months after his retirement, Forbes set about organizing the Senior Steelworkers of
Kenostm. The group consisted of
about 150 retired union members
from the Brass.
Forbes' work was noticed by
an official at Catholic Social
Services in Milwaukee; the official had been commissioned by
the state to develop elderly programs. Forbes was contacted
and in the summer of 1970, a task
force was organized to determine the number of elderly
people living in Kenosha County
who would be eligible for beneflts under the Older Americans
Act.

"Within a year we !mew we
would have to put an addition on
because too many people were
coming. ' The addition was dedicated in 1973.
In 1970 the Kenosha Senior
Citizens Council was formed.
"We set up the council as a
non-profit agency and we received tax·deductible donations.
People who died left money in
their wil!s far us."
Forbes was the center's first

president and has continued to
serve on its board of directors.
With the center on its way to
being established, Forbes and
others continued working to develop more services for the
elderly. He attended the first
Governor's Conference on Aging
in Madison.
The Commission on Aging was
created eight years ago when
Forbes was asked by county supervisors to farm a group responsible for applying for federal funds. Forbes served as commission chairman until last
year, when he was succeeded by
Anthony Klimek.
Other memberships held by
Forbes were a six-year term on
the Southeastern Wisconsin Area
Agency an Aging, board of direc·
tors and 2. memb-Br of the steer
Aging Groups, representing SEWAAA.
Forbes will be formally han·
ared by his peers and others at a
noon luncheon Dec. 6 at the Elk's
Club. The gathering will also
oerve as a regular commission
meeting.
A modest man, Forbes said he
isn't thrilled about receiving the
recognition. "I just don't like
people to put on too big a fuss for
me. But I imagine l'!l have a
good time.
''I'll miss it But I w!ll f1~e!
kind of relieved that the pressure
is gone."
Of all the gains Forbes made
for the elderly, he said the involvement of other senior·
citizens was most gratifying to
him. "It was the enthusiasm of
the elderly when they saw some·thing they could achieve If they
worked for it. I was happy to be
involved in that enthusiasm."

county's Commission on Aging.
He reflected recently on the en"
couraging growth of programs
for senior ci[izens he witnessed
and the questionable future of
those services as a result of
federal cutbacks.
"I think the younger generation isn't too happy about things
that are happening to elderly
people,'' he said. ''They think the
elderly are getting too much
attention and money.
"It think it (federal funding)
will dry up. It was intended that
way in the Older Americans Act
of 1965.
"They didn't expect money to
be handed out indefinitely. I
think that will happen to all
social service programs for the
aged."
Services to the elderly,
trimmed by federal and state
funding cutbacks, will be pro·
vided by private agencies and
local units of government where
possible, Forbes predicted

"I held three hearings and we

portation, health care and nutrition. The conclusion was that
people were interested in having
those things, only the money
from the Older Americans Act
was for senior centers.
"By the time we applied, we
fell short of the money we
needed."
Two years later, perseverance
paid off. The senior group raised
about $60,000 to buy the old city
garage at 2717 67th St. They
moved in after the county welfare department vacated the
building.

Larry Brumback, zoning administator, said the
ordinance wit! make no attempt to restrict the
number of animals. The ordinance states:
"'Animals and pets permitted within a particular
district shall be the responsibility of the local
town boards."'
"That leaves the town with two options regard·
mg animals," he said. "You can either adopt an
ordinance and set limits or you can do nothing.
The choice is yours."
A section in the ordinance concerning condi"
tiona! uses is subject to change, said Melcher,
since "it is impossible to list every conceivable
use people might request."
The ordinance currently contains 56 pages of
conditional uses from A to Z beginning with
abrasive and ending with zoological gardens
Vo!pintesta said jurisdiction of that section will
not change
"The towns never have had veto power in
conditional uses, and they won't in the new
ordinance, either," he said.
HORTON COMPLAINED that fees in the new
ordinance are higher than before. He cited one
category that had gone from $5 to $25.
"It's true," said Melcher. "The entire fee
structure has been raised, but either the people
applying for permits pay the fees or we spread it
over the tal< bills of all residents. It's the feeling
of the committee that the fees should be paid by
the people who will benefit from the rezoning.''
Melcher said the cost of publishing legal notices
as well as staff time used in processing applica·
nons is blamed for the increases.
The old fee schedule has been in effect since the
ordinance was adopted 30 years ago by Kenosha
Collllty. The actual language of the document
came from one that was written in 1949, he said.
Melcher said the new ordinance will not be
placed on the County Board agenda until meetings
with town representatives have been completed.
'"We'vrc worked too long and too hard on this
ordinance to rush it through at this point.'' he
said.
There will be open houses planned in communities that want them, he said, to d1scuss

fire investigated
I <13
~,;_
Arson is one possible cause of a
fire at the Charmglow warehouse in
the Bristol Industrial Park at 5:45
p.m. Friday, based on Sheriff's records
A barrel containing some
chemicals was discovered on tire
when deputies were called to the
scene. Tbe nre may bave been
started by vanadls, although none

were seen, or a delayed chemical
reaction possibly caused by the bar·
rei b!"ing moved or dropped.
The barrel had an unidentified
flammable liquid inside and was
packed in paper.
The fire occured near the loading
dock area. No major damage was
reported.

Bristol Town Chairman Noel Elferi:ng
said he is not lostng any sleep over the
$1,500,000 lawsuit filed ngainst hun and
the t.own by Russell Mott.
'"I was just defending agriculture for
the Town of Bnstol, '' Elfering aaid of the
charg(!a of slander and defamation of
character. "If you can put one farmer out
of business, you can put them all out of
business.''
Mote, 6100 156th Ave., filed the suit
m U.S. District Court, Easrem District of
Wisconsin, in Milwaukee in December.
The suit quoted Elfering aa aaying at
a Jt-fferson County hearing in January
1981, that Mott "haa eaused a lot of
problem~. He's the only person in Bristol
Township I've ever kic\l:ed out of a
meetJng,''

According to the suit, Elfering spoke
at an appeal hearing on the granting of a.
conditional land use permit to build an
egg facility in the Town of Farmington.
The issues were similar t.o those of
the Quality Egg farm in Bristol which
was threatenE-d with a conn-ordered
shutdown as a public nuisance because
of chicken manure odors
Mott, a neighbor of Quality Egg, has
been active in the actions against the egg
plant.
The suit clnims Elfering's statements
on that and oth!!r oceasiona denied Mott
equal protection of the law. The ~uit also
contends that the town is responsible
and liable for the actions of its town
chairman The suit claims that Elfenng

By JOHN KREitOWICZ

The Quality Egg Farm in Bristol
has been notified that It has violated
county zoning laws by adding a lean·

Milton Konicek, Burlington attorney for the farm owner, said on
Friday that an apphcation lor the

Konicek said the lean-to, erected
in late summer, was temporary and

BRISTOL - Accidents are on the
increase at the ifltersectioo of County Highway c and U$. 45, but state
and county officials OO!l't krow why
In 1980, there were three reportable accidents at the intersection followed by seven in 1981 and 14
In 1982. Most of them happened
because drivers on C failed to yield
the right-of-way to traffie on 45,
Capt. Fred Ekomaas, Kenosha
~riff's
Department,_ told the
Bristol Town Board Mooday.
"The problem defies description," said Ekornaa~. "'Ibe majority of accidents are happening during
daylight hours and ak:ohol was a
factor in only two cases."
Ages ol the driverS ranged from
16 to 70, accurding to Ekomaas, and
the direction$ the driver were

tncr~q§,tng

headed when the accidents occurred
were eveJJly divided between east
and west.
"It's not a problem being caused
by Illinois drivers, e1ther," said
Walter Gluege. "In an analysis of
the accidents, we found 26 ll!irois
drivers and 24 Wisconsin drivers."
Gluege, traffic engineer from the
Wisroosin Department of Ttan!ijl(lrtation, Waukesha, asked, "Why are
people pulling out Into the paths of
others? I'm at a Joss to eljllaln it."
Statistics 1lhow that in 17 cases,
drivers on Highway C stopped first,
then proceeded Into Highway 45.
More than 1,000 signatures have
been collected on petitions by a
group seekmg a solution to the problem.
One of the organizers of the campaign Is Ullian Gorecmy, owner of

at Highways 45 and C

Lil! and Ed's Bristol Oasis at the
mtersectioo of C and 45.
At Monday's session, which drew
about 50 people, Mrs. Gorecmy said
·she wants traffic lights installed.
"It's the only solution," she said.
State Senator John Maurer said he
wi!! confer with DOT officials today
concerning a recommendation by
residents that the intersection be
changed to a 4-way stop.
At Highways C and B3, traffic
patterns were recently converted to
a 4-way stop and officials have
indicated an improvement in the
accident rate.
"A trial period of six months
would tell us if a 4-way stop would
work at 45 and C," said Maurer,
"and indicate whether we should
make it permanent."
State Representative Cloyd
Porter also mdicated he will ask for

a review of traffic control at the
busy intersection.
Earl Hollister, chairman of the
County Board highway committee
said some "solutions" only make

"Five years ago, we asked for
tum signals at Highways 31 and 50,"
said Hollister, "and it has caused an
increase in accidents."
In other business, the board tabled
until Jan. 31 a request from an

By ARLENE .JENSEN
Staff Writer
I BRISTOL - A general budget of
i $304,200 was approved Monday by
1 tbe Bristol Town Board and a bandi ful of electors.
Tbe new budget reflects a slight
decrease from one approved a year
ago at $311,207
Tbe town tax paid by Bristol
residents will also decrease but not
by much. The 1983 rate of 45.4 cents
per $1,000 of assessed value compares to tbe 1982 rate of 50 cents per
$1,000.
Town Clerk Gloria Bailey an·

nounced the combined tax rate for
property owners in the Bristol
School District is set at $13.037;
Paris School District, $12.964, and
Salem School District, $13.877.
The town expects to n~~eive
$130,000 in state shared taxes and an
additional $15,400 from the state in
highway aids.
The town tax will yield $60,000 in
revenues and $20,000 is expected
from licensing. Other revenue will
come from fire contracts, SIS,OOO;
investments, $15,000; trailer tax,
$1,400; and industrial park, $13,500.
On the disbursement side of the

budget, the largest expense is expected to be the $97,000 set aside for
highways and street lights.
General government expenses are
estimated at $82,000. Within the!
category are items such as town hall
and office expense, $17,000; town
board, $15,000; legal and audit fees,
$10,000, and social security, $11},000.
Protection of persons and property is expected to cost $38,000 with
$32,000 set aside tor fire and rescue
squads. The additional $6,000 will

pay wages and expenses of town
constables.

controls.
A copy of the request for a traffic
study is being sent state Sen. John

Highway 174.
Scharfenorth said bids for the
project would be let May 17 and

Top 10 c9qrty stories

side up
By DICK MARTIN

A lot of you have probably been
distracted by major news events
in the world and haven't been
following the only really interesting controversy going on. It will
probably go down in tl'le history
books as The Battle of Bristol
Bristol Grade School is the site
of the dispute over the school
mascot's name. It used tD be the
Bristol Demons. But some parents thought that name promoted the "satantic religion'" so
the school board voted 3-2 to
change it. Then the problem
jumped out of the frying pan into
the Jire, so to speak.
A vote was taken and the kids
favored a new name- the Renegades. Someone looked that up in
the dictionary and found out renegade meant "a person who
abandons his religion for anoth·
er." Now some people are mad
.and don't like that name. And the
kids are mad because they want
to know why they were allowed
to vote on the name and then it
was decided it was no good. Well,
that's just kids for you, always
looking for logic.

We thought maybe we cOuld
help so we sat down and worked
out some names that Bristol
could use. How about:
The Bristol Bananas.
Bristol Wonders.
Bristol Barnstormers.
The Bristol Myers.
Bristol Good Pers.ons.
Bristol Swell Team.
Then we got to thinking about
the other teams around here and
their nicknames. The Bradford
Red Devils. Holy cow, that's
terrible. Godless Commies right
hefe in our midst. The Carthage
College Redmen. We have some
reservations about how Indians
have been treated (heh, heh). but
isn't it time that we stopped
holding the Indians up to ridicule? We could change it to the
Carthage Scholars. And Bradford
could become the Bradford Red
White and -Blues.
St. Joseph is the Lancers. That
sounds like a wine. Tbe St.
Joseph Mogen Davids' I doubt it.
Naming them after a soft drink
might not work either. l mean
who could root for the St. Joseph
Mellow Yellows?
Shoreland Lutheran calls its
teams the Pacers. Well, they'll
soon be changing that anyway
To the Al!iances.
UW·Parkside is the Rangers.
Sounds very warlike to us, how
about the Parkside Patriots? Or,
for the basketball team, the
Parkside Perpendiculars?
The Tremper Trojans also
have a warlike mascot. Better
something more peaceful, like
the Tremper Toe-tappers.
Wilmot's team name is the
Panthers. A panther isn't a very
nice animal, nothing you'd want
around your home or anything.
We could change that to the
Wilmot Gerbils.
Something that has been overlooked in the Bristol controversy
is that the kids who go to Bristol
grade school all go on to high
school. They go to Central High
School. And the team nickname
there is the Falcons .

An attempt by C. Thomas
Wood to open a video game
room in Paddock Lake early
this year brought action by the
Village Board to regulate such
establishments. Other vil!ages
and towns throughout the county followed suit and adopted
ordinances setting restrictions
on game rooms.
Quality Egg Farm In Bristol
was granted a conditional use
permit to construct a tacility to
eliminate an oppressive manure
odor from the agri-business.
The action followed several
years of complaints by resi·

lt- SEWER EXPANSIONA proposal to construct a $2.8
million sewage treatment plant
and run an interceptor sewer
along Highway 50 in Pleasant
Prairie Utility District D to
include service to several businesses in Bristol bogged down

utility district. Bristol businesses decided to accept an
offer of a small treatment plant
from the Howard Johnson Mo·

A letter from J.M. Foerster,

The rezoning requires a vote of
the entire County Board before it
becomes otficial.
At Wednesday's meeting, George
Melcher, director of planning and
zoning, told committee members
the county is prepared to meet with
DNR officials concerning
Chiwaukee Prairie-Carol Beach.
Melcher said a meetjng with C.D
Besady, DNR chief, has been ten·
tatively set for Feb. Jl at l!l a.m. in
Madison, but an alternative date of
Feb. 18 has been offered as a compromise if conflkts in scheduling
arise.
Local officials asked for the meet·
ing to clear up confusion about the

placement of Chiwaukee wetlands in
conservancy zoning. Residents of
the area have asked whether DNR
can require counties to place sub·
divided lands under the confines of
conservancy.
The study of Chiwaukee and ree·
ommendations for its future by a
special committee have been put on
hold pending the meeting with
Besadny
Melcher also announced that the
county has received wetland maps
from DNR. The maps, which are
compiled for each county in Wisconsin, draw attention to three features: water recharge, plant life and
animal life.
The county will have until May to
review the maps and reply to DNR

Zenz said Tuesday his report· will

treatment alternatives available to
the town but said cost will not be the
deciding factor.
"All alternatives are coming out
at about the same cost," he said,
"roughly $600,000,''

Zenz said b.asins would be designed to hold a ~lx-month flow from
the district w1th treated water released only twice a year durmg
periods of high water. The system
will discharge to the Des Plaines

doesn't flow fast enough to meet
requirements for stream discharge.
A second alternative, one that has
not been attempted in Wisconsin

Until the Howard Johnson Corp.

Once the board reviews the final

Southeastern Wisconsin Regional
Planning COmmission and the De·
partment of Natural Resources for
their consideration
If Bristol elects the arllficial
marsh alternative, Zenz predicted
that approval from the state would
be more difficult to obtain.
"Because it would be the first In
Wisconsin, we could be looking at a
very slow approval Process," he

Supervisor Russell Horton urged

that the system be designed with
excess capacity to take care of the
future. The current need is Ttlllghly
150,000 gallons per day, but, said
Horton, "once we get sewers in that
area, that capacity wil! not be
enough."
The current plan is to serve eight
parcels of land on or near the intersection, each zoned commercial,
including McDonald's Restaurent,
the Brat Stop, Howard Johnson,
Checker Oil Co., Benco Oil C()., the
f()rmer Cheese Stop which is now
vacant, the new Factory Outlet Centre, and a vacam parcel at the

accidents occurring at the intersedion
and they feel that not to do anything

about the matter iB similar to permitting
the existence of a crime that could be
termed murder.
The Bristol Town Board was approached on the matter but the backers
were told that while the board &upporta
thE! group'!! effort, Highway 45 is a state
highway and the state will have to make
a decision on traffic control measures for
that highway.

Didn't pay back
all the money
To the Editor; j- '30- ~3
Recently, a young lady from
Kenosha was convicted of grand
larceny. She took some $20,000 in
delinquent traffic vio!~tion
payments. At her tria!, it w~s decided th~t she should pay the insurance comp~ny $JQ,OOO and the city
$7_000.
Now, what I fail to undf'rstand is
why she has to pay back only $17,000
of the $20,000 that she took. That
means that she was awarded $3,000
for comm1tting a crime
From the article in th<" Kenosh~
News, one gets the impression that
our judicial system advocates this
kind of behaviOr. We'v<> ~ll heard of
the old adage t11at "crime doesn't
pay" WelL l"m not so sure that we
in Kenosha are going to belie~P that
anymore.

System estimated at $1.1 million

Brist<;>A'§ 1-94 sewer planled
By ARLENE JENSEN

Staff Writer
BRISTOL - Preliminary plans
for a sewer system at Highways I-94
and 50 were del!vered to the Bristol
Town Board Monday.
The report prepared by Donohue
and Associates, Sheboygan, recommends construction of a collection
system, a new treatment plant and
aerated lagoons for Utlllty District
3, a commercial district near the
intersection.
Total cost of the plan recommended by engineers Donald Zenz
and Donald Pirrung Is estimated at
$1,142,600.

Zenz said he Is hopeful that rough·
ly 50 percent of the project will he

paid by state and/or federal funds.
The remainder will be borne by
property owners in the utility district.
Eogineers estimated that the lo·
cat share would be spread over 20
years at 12 percent Interest.
The report also contains an estimate of user charges, tile monthly
fees that will be paid by property
owners. Fees are proposed at $4.11
per l,OO<l gallons of water used by
each business and would be determined by metering clean water
at eacb. establishment.
In tracing the origin of the new
utility district and proposal for
sewers, Town Chairman NO{'! Elfer,
ing sald an earller plan included the

possibility of a cooperative venture
with Pleasant Prairie.
"The people of Pleasant Prairie
thought they were picking up the
cost for us," said Elfering, "and we
almost got tarred and feathered."
Elfering sald, "We thought we'd
better put in our own treatment
plant on our side of I-94 and keep
peace in the community."
An offer by Howard Johnson Mo·
tor Inn to donate a small, private
sewage treatment plant, forced
main and llft station to Bristol was a
key factor in Bristol's decision to
withdraw from the planning process
witb. Pleasant Prairie.
But Pirrung said Monday the
Howard Johnson plant, located

about a half mile south of Highway

A Br1~tal rnun he.> hied a ~1.5 million 'lander
and delamarwn ol cMl.nKtN damage sui\ m
federal court against Bristol Town Chairman
Noel Elfering and the town,
Russell Mott. 6100 l56th Ave., contends 10 the
suit that he was damaged by statements made by
El!ering at a public heartng in Jefferson. Wis., on
Jan. 10, 198!.
The suit was flled m U.S. District Court,
Eastern Dis trier of Wisconsw in Milwauk~f last
month. Eilering's attorneys were given untH feb.
4 to respond.
The ~uit says Ei!enng spoke at ;;n apf)eal
hearing 011 the granting of a L:ondltionai Jane! use
permit ror a farm in the Town of farmington.
The issues were similar to those mvolved in the
case of Quality Egg farm in BdstoL The lod! egg
farm was threatened with a court·ordered shutdown as a putlic nuisance because of offensive
chicken manure odors.
Mott, a netghtor or the Bristol egg producing
plant, has been active in efforts against Quality
Egg.
According to Matt's suit, Eifering, at tb.e
Jef!erson hearing, said Mott "has caused a lot of
problems. He's the only person in Bristol Township I've ever kicked out of a meeting.
"If you came in here and you said this is a
cream-colored ceiling, he would probably tell you
it's black. He's that kind of a gentleman."
The suit claims Elfering's statements on that
and other occasions denied Mott equal protection
of the law and was intended to "chHl" his
eJterdse of his right of free speech. The suit
contends that the town is responsible and liable
for the actions of its town chairman.
The suit asks $300,000 In compensatory damages, plus $t2 million in punitive dama:;contending that Elfertng acted with malice.

to all who circulated and

1

years."
Engineers considered and rejected a plan for upgrading and
expanding the plant. According to
the report, the Howard Johnson lift
station and forced main are in good
condition and will be relocated,
Cost comparisons of a Bristol-only
treatment plant versus a coopera·
tive venture estimate tbe total cost
at $!,142,600 if Bristol does not join
with Pleasant Prairie. If the communities were to join forces,
Bristol's share of the total project
would be $1,076,100.
User fees are estimated at $3.62
per 1,000 gallons for Bristol users ll

BRISTOL -

Kenosha attorney

Paul Karas Monday accused the
Brtstol Town Board of creating a
"catch-22" situation when It refused
to ISsue an occupancy permit for a

building near the intersection of
Highway 50 and 1·94.

"You tell me you can't act on the
permit until the building inspector
looks at the place, and the building
inspector said he can't look at it
until you give me the permit," said
Karas.
Monday's meeting marked the
third tlme m recent weeks Karas

cJ.~Jays
has requested the permit on behalf
of his ellen!, Oliver Montgomery,
Palatine, HL
Town officials have questioned
Karas about the nature of the business his client intends to open at
12303 75th St. Karas said Montgomery plans 10 use the building for live
country-western and bluegrass mu·
sic seven nights a week, serving only
soda pop.
Town Chairman Noel E!fering
asked if a small music hall serving
only soft drinks could be a com·
mercia! success, and Karas told
him, "It's not the board's business
whether my client feels he can make
money."

country-western permit

An architect's drawing of the
floor plan includes an 8· by 10-foot
stage with a large dressing area.
"Why do you need a dressing
area?" asked Elfering.
Karas said the performing musicians may want to change clothes or
use the area as a place to !eave their
instruments.
The building formerly housed the
Cheese Stop and, briefly, a restaurant, The Wheel Works. Elfering
said the restaurant was ordered
closed by the state because or plumbing violations.
Supervisors Russell Horton and
Donald Wienke said they wU! oppose
a permit for Montgomery until state

officials approve the proposed
plans. Local requirements will include lnspectlons by the fire chief
and building inspe.-;tor.
Bristol building inspector Fred
Pitts is out of town and not expected
back until March 1. Karas asked If
the town would appoint a temporary
replacement.
"You get state approval of your
plans and we'll find a buHding in·
spector," said E!rerlng.
After Monday's session Karas
said he is "really frustrated. If this
is delayed much longer, we will
have to take other action "
In other business, the Town Board
opened five bids Oft ersanltary sewer

A sparkle in the eye, a ready smile,
enjoyment of life, and a quiet but a
strong and purposeful determination are
striking qualities of this week's Top Teen
from CentraL Susan Hughes, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Irvin Hughes, Bristol,
has compiled a long list of accomplishments both at Central and in the
community.
Her explanation for the success is
very simple, "I trust God to keep me
motivated and to keep my spirits up. I
believe," she continued, "that God has
a plan for my life and I~try to do my best
to follow His plan.''
The faith of Sue Hughes is built on
hmd work, determination and the desire
to excell. "I set my goals high," she
savs, "and then I strive to achieve
t~m"
Among her goals was a membershin

in the National Honor SocietY and to be

in the top 10 of her graduating class.
This fall Sue was inducted into the NHS

and st the end of seven semesters, a
respectable 3.7 grade point average
placed her within the top 10 graduates in
her class.
In addition to an outstanding academic record, Sue Hughes has been a
member of the color guard and band for
4 years, she has played golf for 3 years
and has participated in forensics for 3
years. She has made honor roll all 4
years and was a member of the French
Club for 2 years.
Outside of school she loves to ride
and train horses, an ao;tiv:ity she has
been lnvolved in for 8 years. In the last 2
years she has competed at the state level
~ a fulfillment of yet another goal. As a
sideline to her work with horses, Sue

----------~-"~-

took time to train her family dog. So
successful were her efforts that her dog
won a championship.
This love of animals and a ''call'' to a
specific life of service were factors in her
decision to enter veterinary medicine as
a ca:reer choice.
Music has also played an important
part in Sue's life. In addition to
involvement in Central's band, Sue is
a member of Disciples of God's Love, a
music group that she has been a part of
for 4 years. The group sings and plays
for prayer groups, church services and
weddings. Recently Sue has started to
take instruction in sign language in order
to help the group's work with the hard of
hearing.
''l always try to get involved in
something new and different. This helps

The project follows an inflow and
infiltration study and sewer system

In other action, the Town Board
voted to increase the fee for high·
way vehicle fires from $150 per
incident to $200.
When the town fire department
responds to highway fires, a bil! is

BRISTOL - Preliminary plans
for a sewer system at Highways l-94
and 50 were delivered to the Bristol
Town Board Monday.
The report prepared by Donohue
and Associates, Sheboygan, recom·
mends construction of a collection
system, a new treatment plant and
aerated lagoons for Utllity District
3, 11 commercial district near the
Intersection.
Total cost of the pian recommended by engineers Donald Zenz
and Donald Pirrung !s estimated at
$1.142,600.
lent said he is hopeful that roughly 50 percent of the project will be

1-94 sewer plan unveiled

paid by state andjor federal funds.
The remainder will be borne hy
property owners in the utmty district.
Engineers estimated that the lo·
cal share would be spread over 20
years at 12'percent interest.
The report also contains an estimate of user charges, the monthly
fees that will be paid by property
owners. Fees are proposed at $4.11
per 1,000 gallons of water used by
each business and would be de·
!ermined by metering clean water
at each establishment.
In tracing the origin of the new
utility district and proposal for
sewers, Town Chairman Noel El!ering sa\d an earller plan included the

possibllity of a cooperative venture
with Pleasant Prairie.
"The people of Pleasant Prairie
thought they were picking up the
cost for us," said Elfering, "and we
almost got tarred and feathered."
Elferlng said, "We ttlought we'd
better put in our own treatment
plant on our side of l-94 and keep
peace in the community."
An offer by Howard Johnson Motor Inn to donate a small, private
sewage treatment plant. forced
main and lift station to Bristol was a
key factor in Bristol's decision to
withdraw from the planning process
with Pleasant Pralfie.
But Pirrung said Monday the
Howard Johnson plant, located

about a half mile south of Highway
50, near l-94, is "too small to handle
the needs for the projected 20
years."
Engineers considered and rejected a plan for upgrading and
e~panding the plant. According to
the report, the Howard Johnson lift
station and forced main are in good
condition and will be relocated.
Cost comparisons of a Bristol-only
treatment plant versus a cooperative venture estimate the total cost
at $1,142,600 if Bristol does not join
with Pleasant Prairie. If the communities were to join forces,
Bristol's share of the total project
would be $1,076,!00,
User fees are estimated at $3.62
per 1,000 gallons for Bristol users if

Kenosha County Planning and

Quality Egg Farm owner Christ
Ara!Js a verbal shelling Wednesday
and scrambled his hopes for a conditional use permit
Angered because Aralis constriJcted a builcting at the Bristol
plant without permits, the committee refused to allow a permll that
would have made it a legal structure.
"You've satd you made an honest
mistake," sa1d Supervisor James
Fonk, "and in a less sophisticated
situatwn, we could believe that, but
not m a s1tuatwn that has had as
much attention and controversy 111

Aralis comminee members have
VISited the property at Highways 50

leaks. There was water running everywhere."
Supervisor Fred Schmalfeldt sa1d,
"You can't even call it a building,
JUSt some 2·by-4s with loose plastic
laid over the top."
Arahs' attorney, Milton Konicek,
told the commlttee Aralis built
''what he thought was a permissible
bu1lding" for the storage of chiCken
manure. He said a court-ordered
manure digester put into operauon
last fall IS not effective. He blamed
msuffiCJent capaoty and an inabilt·
ty to function properly below 7()
degrees.
Manure from all chtcken houses

He said dryrng the manure by natural means !5 elfective and cheap. He

Russell Mott, Bristol farmer

Aralts' reque<;t
"He should go into court and be
punisho:d like the rest of us,"' Mott
sa1d. "lt would!!"t b" fair if we had

Gerber sought relief from a county ordinance that governs the installation of holding tanks.
The county forbids the installation
of a holding on any property that
was not a Jot of record on or before
July l, 1980. Gerber's property at
37(){) 72nd Ave. was parceled off on
June 10, 1981, making it ineligible.
Gerber told the board his land
does not qualify for a septic or
mound system. Without a holding
tank, his newly constructed building
will have no running water or bath,
room facilities.
"I won't be_ able to use it for
anything but a warehouse," he said,
"He really Is up the creek," said
Shl.'ila Siegler, board chairman, "I
wish we could help him, but when
the County Board wrote the law on
holdmg tanks, their intent was
<:lear.'<
Gerber said he bought the property at County Highway EA, just north
of Highway 142 in March 1981 and
planned to operate a lawn mam·
tenance, landscaping and nursery
business. The land was previously
owned hy the Kenosha County Farm
Bureau.
Gerber said he hired an attorney
and real estate broker to handle the
transactions.
"They assured me I could use this
lot for a commercial business," he
said.
It wasn't until August 1982 when
he applied for a building permit
from the Town of Somers that he
learned the permit would be issued
for a storage building only because
it could not have a holding tank.
Gerber said he proceeded with the
building because he had already
made a 50 percent down payment.
Zoning Administrator Larry
Brumback told Gerber the decision
of the Sanitary Bo11rd can be appealled through the courts
Gerber said he hadn't decided
whether to press the issue.
"I checked with two lawyers and
they said they would charge ])o?.
tween $3.000 and $5.000 to handle the
case," he said
The hearing marks the lirst time
the Sanitary Board has been convened since it was created in 1980.
The board is comprised of the
same three persons who sit on the
County Board of Adjustment: Mrs.
Siegler, Louis Fowler and Roger
Mayer.
Fowler was excused from
Thursday's deliberations on the advice of Assistant Corporation Counsel William Nickolai.
Fowler was involved in Gerber's
initial land transaction as the secre,
tary of the Kenosha County Farm
Bureau, the organizal!on that sold
Gerber his laod.

' Terry L. Kratchey, 6908 41st Ave., was placed
on three years' probation on a burglary charge,
wah 30 days of the probationary period to beserved in County Jail under a work release
program. In granting probation, Judge Robert
Balu:!r stayed a JO,month prison sentence
Kratchey _pleaded no contest to the charge m

County j~.~ptic system study mulled
By ARLENE JENSEN
Staff Writer
A fuJI scale investigation of failing

septlc systems in Kenosha County
would uncover ''more problems than
you want to hear about," Philip
Evenson said Wednesday.

Speaking at a meeting of the
County Board's Planning and Zoning
Committee, Evenson said, "Septic
tanks were never meant to be a

permanent solution. They were developed to get the Iarmer out of the
outhouse"

Evenson, assistant director of
Southeastern Wisconsin Regional
Planning Commission. agreed to
map out necessary steps for a study
of failing systems throughout th!O'

county. The Ct r'1mittee will receive

an estimate of time and costs before
making a go or no-go decision

George Melcher, director of planning, zoning and sanitation, de·
scribed the situation as "a nightmare."
"The band aid treatment is not
working,"' said Melcher. "We need
to look at it on a countywide basis."
But. according to Melcher, the
problem goes beyond discovering
failing systems. Correcting problems will require financial as·
sistance. he said
"We've got a mandate from the
state to do cleanup, and the money
just isn't there," said Melcher.
The Wisconsin Fund, administered by the Department of Natural
Resources, was designed to solve

the state's sewage treatment problems, but, according to Melcher,
only 3 percent of the fund is available for rural septic systems.
"The problem with failing systems exceeds the amount of money
available," said Supervisor Francis
Pitts. "We have to present it to our
legislators and somehow convince
them they should be a party to this
problem."
Supervisor James Fonk predicted
the major portion of failing systems
would be found in Bristol, Pleasant
Prairie and Somers. He described it
as "an expensive and explosive situation "
He cited calls from constituents
who complained about finding raw
~('Wage in neighb-orhood ponds. Oth·

ers complain about paying the bills
when forced to 1mprove or replace
their systems, said Fonk.
Evenson promised to deliver his
preliminary report by May or June.
and the committee will decide
whether the county wants or can
afford an intensive study
Melcher said the Kenosha County
Unit of the Wisconsin Towns As·
sociation has requested a meeting
with the commlltee to discuss the
county's sanitary code anct its en·
forcement.
The meeting will be scheduled
some time in April, according to
Melcher
Five petitions were on the
comm1ttee"s ager1da - one from a
Bristol resident and four 'rom

Pleasant Prairie.
Lloyd Nelson. 9055136th Ave , was
given permission to clean an exist·
ing farm drainage ditch and ex·
cavate a new ditch in the Des
Plaines River floodplain. The work
area is located just west of 1·94 and
north of Highway C
George Mullins, 9237 39th Ave.,
whose original petition sought commercial zoning, Wi!l be allowed to
operate his appliance repair shop at
his home under a horne occupation
clause in the zoning ordinance.
Melcher said it will not be necessary
to re].()ne th~ property.
A petition from Roy Benson, 9740
Green Bay Road was also changed
Brnson requested a change from
agricultural to mdustria! on behalf

of Raymond and Vicki Holm who
plan to purchase the property and
operate an upholstery and furniture
repatr shop.
Zoning Administrator Larry
Brumback said commercial zoning
would accommodate the needs of
the busine~s. negating industrial
zomng.
A shoreland conditional use per·
mit extension was gramed to John

That move will virtually Wipe out

''Buttbat was in an era of increas·
ing revenues," Keegan said. "Today
we are in a time of declining revenues."
Becal.lse the county is virtually
self-insured for employee health
benefits, Keegan said it was important to maiotain a current balance in
that account of about $IJOO,OOO. If a
single county employee suffers a
major illness that requires months
of medical care, Keegan said the
fund could be quickly depleted
County Clerk Collins said if the
court system requires an overload of
bailiff costs, sheriff's deputies may
be called to the courtrooms to llandle those duties. But Pallamolla said
there is currently a shortage of onthe· road deputies.

Neighbors sue
Quality
Egg Farm
g,
.3 . ,_

By DON JENSEN
Staff Writer

Seven couples living near
Bristol's controversial Quality Egg
Farm have filed suit in Circuit Court
seeking nearly a half million do!!ars
in damages.
Quality Egg Farm Inc. on Highway 50, and its owner, Christ Aralis,

Glenview, m., already are under
court order in another suit to clean
up a long-standing problem of
chicken manure odors, found to con-

stitute a public nuisance.
The new civH action was Wed by a
group of the egg producer's neigh·
bors "- Leonard and f'ern Clark,
Jerry and Gail Schnaare, Ralph and
Joyce Myers, Edward and Linnea
Olson, Harold and Marion Middleton
and Russell and Louise Mott, all of
whom live on \56th Avenue, and
Thomas and Marguerite Elktns, who
l1ve on 60th Street in Br(stol
JdendaiH!i bes~des
Inc .. and Arali>,
iS quaht) i~rmi0Lb Jn("' Chicago
The damage claims rang!:' from
the Motts" $40,000 to the Elkins'
$100.000, and total $475,000.
Neighbors of the egg farm have
waged a lZ·year light against the
odor<; caused by Quallty"s dispo~\11
of some 15 tons of manure daily
lrom l40,iliKJ cll!tkens.
Ttw sw.te broughl suit against
Quality as a public nuis;:u:ce tn May
!9BO, Kenosha Judge Mkhael Fisher
found the agflbusiness was, indeed,

a public nuisance and ordered it shut
down.

Aralis won a reversal in an appeal, but ln November 19Sl. the
Wisconsin Supreme Court reversed
that finding and upheld Judge
Fisher.
Fisher retains jurisdiction in the

case, and ordered Quality to install
an anerobic digester machine to
process the chicken manure into
odorless fertilizer. That machine
was installed last faH, but neighbors
have continued to complain about
the problem. Judge Fisher visited
the farm in January and said he
didn't think the situation is "too bad
now."
However, at a County Planning
and Zoning Committee meeting in
February, Aralis' attorney, Milton
Konicek. Bllrlington, told commit·
tee members that the G0llrt·ordered
manure digester was not effeetive.

tests Mott's metal

The question- Or whether Russell
Mott's 1.1tility building is, in fact, a
building, subject to Kenosha
County's zoning restrictions, or is
essentially a "metal tent,"' returnl:'d
to court Friday
This time the forum was the
Second District Court of Appeals
and a rare one-judge appeal hearing
in Kenosha before Judge Burton
.
Scott.
The result was a narrowmg of the
legal Issues and the possibility that
the matter could be resolved ~hort
of a formal appeals decision
ASSistant CorporatiOn Counsel
William NJckolai and Racme attorney Garth Seehawer, representing Mott are to inform Scott by April
15. if a settlement can be re\\ched
lf ~ot, Judge Scott Wlll render a
decision on whether the Bristol
resident's meta! ~hed falls Within
the scope of the cour.ty's zoning
ordinance
The case dates to March 19Sl,
when Mott was ordered by the County ro mo1>.? a n by 15 foot metal
acrl:'ssory structure. iorated Within

filed suit seeking to have the stn.lc·
HHe removed.

until the nuisa~1ce is flnal\y abated.

Etght month> later, Malloy
handed down his dec1s10n, a scathmg
re1ectwn of Mott"s contentwn that
his structure was not a bulld1ng, but

subject to the zon1ng law
J\Ialloy lev!ed a fme of $20 a day
from the tune of tbe mitlal court

appearance until his decision
more than $(),000.
Mott appealed the verdict and the
fine
Because the action was considered a forfeiture under the small
claims procedures, the appeals
process mvolved only one judge,
rather than the three-man panel
On four procedural points, including one having a bearing on the s1ze
of the fine, Scott ruled in Mott's
favor
The judge ind1cated that a levied
fine could not include days after tbe
stipulation in court. This would ap·
parently cut nearly $5,000 from any
fme m the case

BRISTOL - Thanks to eq~hth
grader Steven Kempf, the Bristol
Grade School mascot finally has a
face.
At Tuesday's meeting of the
School Board, Kempf's drawing of
the Renegade was officially accepted as the mascot for the schooL
Kempf envisioned the mascot as a
jaunty little swashbuckler, complete with a patch over one eye and
cro;sed bones on his pirate's hat.
Holding a pistol. tbe snub-nosed
Renegade stands with feet planted
firmly and arms crossed.
The Renegade was adopted by the
board and student body last fall,
outdistancing other suggestions
suct1 as Bobcat. Badger, Pistol and

Mott then was denied a 1ariance
from the requirement that buildings
be set back at )east 67 feet from a

Joyce Myers, Edward and Linnea
Olson, Harold and Marion Middleton
and Russell and Louise Molt, all of
whom live on !56th Avenue, and
Thomas and Marguerite Elkins, who
live on OOth Street in Bristol.
Named as defendants besides
Quality Egg Farm Inc., and Aralis,
is Quality Products Inc., Chicago.
The damage claims range from
the Motts' $40,000 to the Elkins'
$1(}(1,000, and total $475,000.
Neighbors of the egg farm have
waged a l2·year fight against the
odors caused by Quality's disposal
of some 15 tons of manure daily
from 140,000 chickens.
The state brought suit against
Quality as a public nuisance. ln May
1980, Kenosha Judge Michael Fisher
found the agribusiness was, indeed,

didn't think tbe situation is "too bad
now."
However, at a County Planning
and Zoning Committee meeting in
February, Aralis' attorney, Milton
Konicek, Burlington, told commit·
tee members that the court·ordered
manure digester was not effective.
Aralis unsuccessfully sought a
permit for a temporary storage
structure for the accumulations of
manure. He previously bad con·
structed the shed, described by one
county supervisor as "just some 2·
by·4s with loose plastic laid over the
top," without a conditional use per·

15, Jf a se!tlement can be reached.
If not, Judge Scott will render a
decision on whether the Bristol
resident's metal shed fa!ls within
the scope of the county's zoning
ordinance.
The case dates to March 1981,
when Molt was ordered by the County to move a 12 by 15 foot metal
accessory structure, located within
20 feet of the County Highway MB
nght·of·way on Matt's Bristol farm.

Bristol hires
administrator

-l '·:; ., :.
BRISTOL-- Clifford Hudson has
been hired as the new administrator
at Bristol Grade School.
School board member Lynn
Maher announced this morning that
Hudson's name is on the dotted line
of a three-year contract and he has
agreed to start July I at an annual
salary of 536,500.
"Hudson was the hands.ctown
choice," said Mrs. MahEr."The
board was unanimous in the selec·
lion."
The selection of Hudson caps a
four-month talent search that drew
70 applications from persons seeking
the top spot in the Bristol district.
Four finalists were interviewed two
weeks ago.
Hudson will replace Virgil Recob,
who retired Dec. I after 18 years as
administrator.
Married and father of four chi!·
dren, Hudson is 44 years old and
comes to Bristol alter seven years
a~ superintendent of schools in Au·
gusta, Wis, H1s experience also includes seven years as an elementary
teacher

mit.

His attempt to get a retroactive
permit was denied. The county has

filed suit seeking to have the struc·

ture removed.
Fisher retains jurisdiction in the
original complaint and has said he
will continue to monitor the case
until the nuisance is finally abated.

'signs' for the deaf
J . ;

{WR, WS, SP) - When Dorothy
Misurelli, Bristol, speaks, not just her
lips move, her whole body ''ta.Urn. ''
That'sbecausesheisasig:nlanguage
instructor and she says "signing" is
much more than simply mouthing the
wOrds and using fingers to spell out a
word or sentence- it involves the use of
hands, arms, shoulders, face, eyebrows
andsometi:rnesthewholebodytoeonvey
deep meanings and emotions. MessagBs
are received through the eyes rather
than the ears, she said.
There is a beauty in the way she
moves as she talks. The words seem like
pictures coming to life.
''I try to get my students to think in
piGtures because to do 'sign' well, one
has to break the pattern of thinking in
the F..nglish language," she said. "You
have to put words in a different order
that makes more sense to the deaf in
order to convey meanings. Without this,
the richness and fullness of American
sign language cannot be obtained.''
Since the whole body is often used to
coiiJIDunicate, it is important for students to be comfortable with their
bodies. Misurelli says her students need
to learn to relate to themselves a.nd
adapt to the space they occupy, filling it
with their presence.
Both of Misurelli's parents were
deaf, ao she has been signing most ofhet
life_ She has the highest reglll"d for deaf
people, their language and eultun•.

To get. her students to better
understand what it might be like to be
deaf, Misurelli uses this example:

!moth in a foreign country, There is
someone on the outside speaking in an

the denial and to order the county to

The doors are open again at the
former Trader's Inn store on
Hwy. 61 in Boscobel. The
business has been renamed Ye
Olde Gun~mithy and wi1J feature
many of the services offered by
the previous owners in addition to
some new ones.
Paul and E!alne Blnyer of
Kenosha bought the business
March 1 after several months'
search for an opportunity to
return to the area they each knew
as children. Paul is the son of Mr.
and Mrs. Gayton Bloyer of
Fennimore and Elaine the daughtet' of the Hubert Ashrnores of
Wauzeka.
Leaving Kenosha after 25 years
of resiJence there has not been.
easy for the Bloyers, despite the
$Upport they have rece•'ved in
wming to BoscobeL "It's been
~ind of a bittersweet time for
us," Elaine Bloyer says, "with

our friends in Kenosha saying
'don't leave us' and people here
asking how soon we'd be here."
Nevertheless, it is a move Paul
and Elaine are making with little
hesitation. They had thought
about moving over the yeans, bot
when Paul developed cancer
about five years ago, they knew
the time for just talking was over.
"We began looking around,"
Elaine says, "'in Wauzeka and
Fennimore. We were having
dinner at the Hickory Grove
Country Club one night and
Stuart and {.Qrraine Johnson told
us the Trader's Inn was for sale."
It didn't take much time for the
Bloyers 10 look the business over
and decide it was just what they
wapt<:d. They opened the doors
M~n·h 7 and son Chris ond Pf'le
Mal' mann, al~o of Kenosha, will
mind the store for the time being.

_,

The Bloyers don't expect to be
in Boscobel full time until later
this year after they sel! their
house and tie up other loose
ends. Paul will keep his job with
the Kenosha fire department for'
the time being, but the couple
will return to Boscobel when he
has time off.
In addition to a wide array of
hunting supplies and sporting
goods, the B!oyers wi!l stock a
variety of fueb, including a soon
to be installed LP gas fill station.
Paul will offer gunsmithing
services and also exp"'cts to do
some dock repair work. His gun
repair skills indude cleaning,
making parts, mounting scopes,
and custom stock work. Paul says
he will also work on fishing reels.
In addition to son Chris who ts

Former county Social Services
worker William C. Shema, 39, was
sentenced Wednesday to 18 months
at Waupun state prison by Judge
Frederick Kessler.
The sentence is to run consecutively with four years probation
on a misconduct in public office
charge. As a condition of probation
he was ordered to pay $23,086
restitution.
Kessler berated the defendant for
taking advantage of his position as a
social worker and violating people's
trust.
"If I was convicted as a judge
there would be no alternative but
incarceration," Kessler said. "Mr
Shema had power over those he was
supposed to serve and he abused lt.
"William Shema, you took advantage of the poor and the defenseless
and that deeply otfends me."
Kessler's sentence followed an
eloquent argument by defense attorney Cletus Wll!ems Jr. in calling
for probation for his client. Willems
said Shema was "not a Spiro Agnew
and not a Richard Nixon."
Willems asked for probation and
that Shema make restitution and
provide community service on a
daily basis.
Sherna, dressed in a brown tweed
sports jacket, spoke briefly before
the sentencing.
'"Your honor, I'm sorry I did it,"
said Shema. "'l assure yuu this, I'll
never be in front of you again."
Sherna was ordered to begin serving his sentence immediately.
Special prosecutor Michael
Piontek had asked Shema be im"
prisoned for four years. "That sends
out a message," Piontek said.
Last month Shema pleaded no
contest to one of 24 counts of felony
theft and to a charge of misconduct
in pub!!C office.
Shema was initially charged with
the theft of $33,883 reportedly taken
from October 1!177 through September 1982 from general relief accounts. He was accused of dupmg
general relief recipients into making monthly cash payments to htm.
He told them they were returning
money owed the county.

Jobless pay
awarded
to Shema
By DAVE SACKMANN
StaH Writer
Kenosha County has been mformed by the state Department of
Industry, Labor and Human Relations that it must pay convicted
former ~<Ocial worker William C.
Shema $4,900 in unemployment benefits.
A statement determining initial
benefit <~iigibihty was received by

'1 wonder if we should
send the checks to
Waupun?"
Gilbert Dosemagen,
county executive

Personnel Director Brooke Koons
Thursday afternoon. It indicated
Shema is eligible to receive 25 maximum benefit payments at a rate of
$1% per week. Koons noted there

are provisions lor an extension.
The determination came from a
D!LHR official even though the
county sent him a copy of Shema's

sentencing and other documents relating to his theft of $23,086 from tbe
Social Services Department.
Shema was sent to Waupun State
Pnson AprU 20 for 18 months on a
charge of felony theft. Judge
Frederick Kessler ordered the Sen·
tence to run consecutively with four
years' probation on a misconduct in
JliC office charge. As a condition
probation Shema was ordered to
pay the $23,086 in restitution.
"'This is bordering I guess on
fiscal irresponsibility on the part of
state employees," Koons said today,
·•particularly considering the state
unemployment fund is broke."
To receive unemployment benefits a person must prove he is
actively ;.earching for a job. "How
can a guy look for work when he is in
the slammer?" Koons said.
Shema resigned from the Social
Services Department Sept. 28. According to the DILHR form received
by Koons Thunlay, Shema found
another job on Jan. 16, 1983. He
worked for four weeks at that job
and earned at least $200.
Because he did not work at that
job a qualifying number of weeks,
the une~ployment compensation
bill was directed to Kenosha County,
.'.hema'.o; prior employer.

County Executive Gilbert
Dosemagen said state officials determined Shema voluntarily resigned from the county. "We vio-lently say that is not the case,"
Dosemagen said. "It was not a
voluntary termination of employment.''
In March, Koons said he had told
Shema that he could resign or he
would be fired.
Nancy Van Allen, assistant corporation counsel, will appeal the
DILHR decision, Dosemagen said.
The appeal must be filed by Wednesday.
That action would maik The sec·
ond time the county has appealed a
ruling to pay Shema unemployment
compensation. The county received
its first notice that it would have to
pay benefits in March.
Thursday's notice was a determination on the county's first
appeal, Koons said. He noted processing of the case at both the state
and county level was not handled
properly after the county received
the first notice.
Although prisoners have received
Social Security checks While incarcerated, Koons said he did not
know if there was a precedent for an
inmate collecting unemployment
benefits.
"1 wonder if we should send the
checks to waupun?" Dosemagen
said.
On March 3, Shema pleaded no
contest to one of 24 counts of felony
theft and to a charge of misconduct
in public office.

BRISTOL- Rescue squad calls

The Bristol Town Board Monday voted to begin chW"ging for
the formerly-free rescue squad

No other community in the
county charges for rescue squad

Starting May l there will be a
$150 charge for responding to a

"Most poople are covered by
insurance but if the charge is a
!lardship for anyone we will make
an allowance We're not after
your money, "we·re after money
from t11e insurance companies."
During 1979, squads answered
114 calls from Bristol residents
and 155 from non-residents. In

Couple adapts new home to new life
'

. '! l

By BARBARA HENKEL

Staff Writer

BRISTOL - Adaptability was
the key word when Herbert
Wilks and Carol Merkt Wilks
planned their new home last

year.
With the help of contractor
Ray Becker, the couple took
plans from a book of model
homes and adapted them to meet

their own interests.
Some of the modifications
were necessitated by Merkt
Wilks' arthritis. Other modifications resulted from whim
and still others resulted from
two persons marrying for the
second time trying to mesh two
households into one.
It wa~ Becker's idea to extend
the pecan marble fireplace the
entire height and nearly all of
the 2l,foot leng!h of the 13-foot
wide fumily HlOrll It

wa~

Merkt

Wilks's 1dea tor a plat~ rail in the
formal dining room, because she
had one in her previous home.
And initially there were to
have been drapes over the french
doors off of the dining room, but
when the material for the drapes
arrived they didn "t match the
wallpaper and Merkt Wilks re.
fused them. After living without
drapes for a while she and her
husband decided "we !lke the
simplicity of no drapes. I think
we will just put in a decorative
cornice.''
The plans called for the formal
l!ving room to be in the front of
the house With the fireplace. A
family room of the same size
was to be at the back of the
house. Herbert Wilks decided to
reverse the two, reasoning the
couple would spend more time In
the family room and from the
front of the house they could see
people coming up the walk.
Both husband and wife wanted
an extra-large master bedroom
and ended up with a I4foot-6inch-by-l7-foot·2·inch room
by expanding that end of the onestory ranch-style home.
The 2,400·square-foot home
has a master bedroom, a guest
room, den, master bathroom,
guest bathroom with tub, and a
powder room, besides the living
room, family room, dining room

Carol Merkt WUk8 and husband Herbert Wilka sit ln their family room, which ill dominated by a massive atone fireplace
bathrooms," she said. "I grew
up on a farm where all we had
was outdoor plumbing and no
electricity at that."
Because of her arthritis the
master bedroom has a walk·in
shower with glass doors.
Becker designed and built spe.
cia! cabinets for her to store
appliances and spices, since it's
difficult for her to bend to cab!·

Picking out fioor ,and wall coverings, light fixtures and drapes
for a new house did not bother
Merkt WilkS.
"Some people don't like that
part of building a new home,"
she said, "and that's why they
don't want to build. I liked lt. I
like challenges. Those were all
fun trips."

The plans called for the formal
living room to be in the front of
the house with the fireplace. A
family room of the same size
was to be at the back of the
house. Herbert Wilks decided to
reverse the two, reasoning the
couple would spend more time In
the family room and from the
front of the house they could see
people coming up the walk.
Both husband and wife wanted
an extra-large master bedroom
and ended up with a 14foot-6inch-by-l7-foot-2·inch room
by expanding that end of the onestory ranch-style home.
The 2,400-square-foot home
has a master bedroom, a guest
room, den, master bathroom,
guest bathroom with tub, and a
powder room, besides the living
room, family room, dining room
and kitchen. A laundry area con.
nects the powder room off of the
kitchen with the attached doublegarage.

New Bristol sewer

DNR report discouraging

By ARLENE JENSEN
Staff Writer
BRISTOL - State response to
Bristol's plans for a sewer system at
1-94 and Highway 50 is quote "not
encouraging," engineer Donald Zenz
said.
Zenz told the Bristol board Thurstlay that the Department of Natural
Resources has completed a preliminary review of Bristol's plans
and criticized several aspects of the
proposal.
"It launches us into the defensive
position we knew we would be in in
the first place," said Zenz.
The Issue 1s whether Bristol will

be allowed to develop a municipal
sanitary sewer collection and treatment system to serve commercial
property near the intersection of l-94
anti Highway 50.
Initially the town was involved
with P!eMant Prairie In the planning for a new treatmeot plant and
interceptor sewer. Bristol was to be
included in the expansion of Pleasant Prairie's Sewer D District.
After a smal! private treatment
plant was offered to Bristol by the
owners of Howard Johnson's Motor
Inn, six of the eight businesses at the
intersection said they preferred
maintaining their own sewer system

to the joint venture.
Zenz, of the firm of Donohue and
Associates, Sheboygan, was hired to
guide the project through the necessary planning and approval stages.
He said Thursday the initial re·
port from DNR had "picked at a lot
of little stuff but I feel we can
answer each item."
Some of the issues that need to be
addressed, DNR said, include cost
effectiveness, environmental impact and the design of treatment
alternatives.
The board authorized a $1,000 ex·
penditure for preparation of the
necessary reply to DNR.

BRISTOL- Ground water pollution regulations? You ain't seen

Responsibility for regulating septic systems became a county func·
tion in 1980 but, Fredricksen said,

Th'ere is increasing concern that
the state's ground water has already
been contaminated, Fredericksen
told a joint meeting of Kenosha
County Unit of the Wisconsin Towns
Association and the county Board's
Planning and Zoning Committee
He predicted a speedy reaction
from the Legislature and new regU·
lations to require investigation and
correction of existing systems.
Fredericksen said Wisconsin has
750,000 private sewage systems. He
estimated that 200,000 of them are
not working properly.
The most common complaint, he
said, is a system that will not accept
discharge and either backs up into
the house or creates a pond in the
yard.
Some are connected to agricultural drainage systems such as field
tiles and some systems discharge

In a discussion of vanous aspects

Dale Nelson, a Bristol farmer

past 10 years, said he's lost al:lout
a third of his sales this year.

Sprmg is the traditional time
for farmers to draw upon credit

branch manager for Production
Credit Association, Union Grove,
which makes about 65 percent of
the farm loans in Ken~ha County, said there have been fewer
loan requests. "A lot of people

"I have a feeling that PIK will
be good for agriculture, and

Under PIK participating
farmers will be given federal
surplus grain at harvest time in
return for not planting wheat,

When you take away the area that

is the City of Kenosha, plus the
incorporated v11iages of Paddock
Lake, Stiver Lake and Twin Lakes,
what is left of Kenosha County are
the eight towns.

Some are populous, but none are
as large as Racine's Town of
Caledonia. with a population over
20,000. Others are rural in nature,
hut none so small as the Town of
Cedar Rapids, Dunn County, which
in 1978 had only 19 residents.
The 1980 census figures list
Brighton as the least populous of our
eight towns, with 1,180 residents and
Pleasant Prairie our largest, with
12,703 residents.
The first of Wisconsin's town gov·

('rnments was authorized in 1827, but
preprawry steps began much
earlier.
In 1787, all land northwest of the
Ohio River was included in thE'
Northwest Territory. By 1796, what
is now Kenosha Collnty was part of
Wayne County, administered from
Detroit.
On July 4, 1800, we became part of
Indiana Territory. We were attached !0 Illinois Territory in 1809
and to Michigan Territory in 1818. !n
1818, ll!lnois became a state, Its
northern boundary was supposed to
have been the lower end of Lake
Michigan, but lllinots congressional
representative Nathaniel Pope succeeded in persuading Congress to
tack on the area north to the present

Without Pope's lobbying, Chicago

Wheatland got its name from its

County, New York The origins of
the names of the two older towns,
Pleasant Prairie and Salem are un,
certain
Since the area southwest of
Kenosha was called, simply, the
prairie, the addition of a "pleasant"
adjective, when legislators named
the new town, is easy to understand.
It is possible that an early settler
in the Jakes region came originally
from Salem, Mass., but the origin of
that name is lost in history.
The following years were marked
by shiftings of town boundaries. A
historian, writing in 1879, said there
were frequent changes "for no special reason other than local advantages or convenience."
The town of Pike was established
in 1343. In April 1851, it was combined with part of the town of
Southport to form Somers. Lengthy
research by -town residents has

failed to turn up the rea~on for the
selection of that new name
Brighton was settled by English
immigrants. That fac!. may be a link
to the reason for its name, which
dates to its creation as a town in
1844.

The last of Kenosha's eight towns,
Randall, was Freated in 1860, being
split off from Wheatland. It was,
apparently, a controversal decision
by the State Legislature, and afterward by the Kenosha County Board .
The name probably honored the then
governor of Wisconsin, Alexander
Randall,
In 1850, Kenosha area residents
petitioned 1the lawmakers In
Madison to incorporate Southport as
the city of Kenosha, and split
Kenosha County from Racine. When
both measures were passed, the

subdivisions we know today

On May 8, 1982, as a last ditch

County renews zoning
complaint at egg farm

By DAVE BACKMANN
Staff Wrlter
For the sE!Cond time this year, Kenosha County
is contending that a Jean-to constructed at Quality
Egg Farm, Bristol, is in violation of the county's
zoning ordinance.
CO(lnty Assistant Corporation Counsel William
Nickolai filed a request in Circuit Court today
seeking a permanent injunction to stop the
operation's owner from further violating the
ordinance. The renul'~t 11l~r> ,..,.n~ fnr" m,.~;,.,.,...,

has OCC(lr r e(l swce last Nov. 16 when the lean-to
was built onto an existing structure.
Aralis was notified in Jan(lary that adding the
lean-to was in violation of the zoning ordinance.
Nickolai said a similar court action was taken by
the county then, but dismissed pending a hearing
before Circuit Court Judge Michael Fisher.
On Monday, Judge Fisher found that the egg
prod(lcing plant on Highway 50 had violated a
court-ordered odor abatement measure and was
in contempt of court. Judge Fisher said he would

Aralis' attorney, Milton Konicek,
Burlington, was only able to suggest
the construction of a manure drying
building when the judge asked for
possible alternatives.
Assistant Attorney General Mary
Ann S(lmi, pointed out that sugge$t'IOn had been made am:i rejected
four years ago.
"If that was the preferred method
of solving !he problem, why wasn't
it done then? I think it is time to say
eno(lgh!"
The judge said he had a number of
factors to consider, including the
effect on people living near the egg
farm, the matter of possibly closing
a business that, located elsewhere,
would be appropriate, and th~ impact on persons who may be thrown

judge had given Quality Egg time to
curb the Jong"standing odor problem

with state-Qf-the-art machinery to
process tons of chicken manure daily, owner Christ Aralis testified that
the one machine he had bought had
been returned to the manufacturer.
For at least 13 years, neighbors of
the egg farm have complained ahout
obnoxious odors that lnterferred
with their right to use and enjoy
their homes and property. The state
brought suit against Quality Egg and
after lengthy hearings, Judge Fisher
found the firm was a public nuisance
and ordered it shut down in May
1980,

Aralis appealed the decision and
the case went to the state Supreme
Court, which upheld Fister. The
case was sent back for final disposition
On May 8, 1982, as a last ditch
attempt to avoid shutting down the

company, Fisher temporarily
stayed his order. The reprieve was
premised on Aralls' commitment to
install as many of the anerobic
digester machines as was required
to convert the smelly manure into a
dry, odorless fertilizer product.
But, Aralts testified Monday, the
only machine he ordered didn't do
the job. Furthermore, he said, the
technique was too costly. He admitted, to the judge's evident surprise, that the digester machine had
been returned after a trial that
lasted only about 11 month last Au·
gust and September.
Fisher said, "'l don't believe that
Mr. Aralis is sincere in resolving
this problem or sincere in his concern for his neighbors
"At this pmnt I think that

County renews zoning
complaint at egg farm
By DAVE SACKMANN
Stafl Writer
For the second time t~m year, Kenosha County
is contending that a lenn·w ccnstrw(ted at Qua IllY
Egg Farm, Bristol, is in vmlauon of the county's
zoning ordina::1ce.
county Assistant Corporation Counsel William
Nicko!ai filed a request in Circuit Court today
seeking a permanent injunction to stop the
operation's owner from further violating the
ordinance. The request also calls tor a maximum
forfeiture of $200 per violation (each day the
ordinance is violated) and for reimbursement of
prosecution costs.
Nickola1 said the county is charging the Jean-to
ts in violation of the zoning ordinance and that the
farm's owner, Chris Aralis, Northbrook, Ill.,
fa!!ed to obtain a conditional use permit to dry
chicken manure in the Jean-to.
The owner obtained a conditional use permit to
operate an anerobic manure digester within the
;;:;o,.'!·tO, Nickolai said. Howevet-, he said after use
ot the machine was discontinued, manure was
spread out tn the lean-to to dry and a permit was
not obtained for that aci!Y!ty
The county contends violatmn o! the ordinance

l'iickola! said a similar court ~ctJOn was l.Bken by
the county then, but dtsmissed pending a hearing
before C!rcun Court Judge Michael Fisher.
On Monday. Judge Fisher found that the egg
producing plant on Highway 50 had violated a
court-ordered odor abatement measure and was
in contempt of court. Judge Fisher said he would
issue a written decision in about 10 days, but that
he couldn't "think of too many alternatives" to
permanently closing the agribusiness.
In March, seven couples Jiving near the operation filed suit in Circuit Court seeking nearly a
half million dollars in damages against Quality
Egg Farm. Neighbors of the operation have
waged a 12-year fight against the odors caused by
disposal Of some 15 tons of manure daHy from
140,000 chickens.
"We held this up to see how the court would
play it out," Nickolal said. "So far it seems hke
nothing has been done."
The "ultimate solution" to complying w!th the
zoning ordinance would be to raze the Jean-to,
N1ckolai said.

Aralis' attorney, MHton Konicek,
Burlington, was only able to suggest
the construction of a manure drying
building when the judge asked for
possible alternatives.
Assistant Attorney General Mary
Ann Sumi, pointed out that suggestion had been made and rejected
four years ago.
"If that was the preferred method
of solving the problem, why wasn't
it done then?! think it is time to say
enough!"
The judge said he had a number of
factors to consider, including the
effect on people living near the egg
farm. the matter of possibly closing
a business that, located elsewhere,
would be appropriate, and thf impact on persons who may be thrown

New sewer extension considered
_r-

By ARLENE JENSEN

Staff Writer
BRISTOL - Lake Shangrila resident!l have asked the Bristol Town

Board to explore the possibility of
constructing sanitary sewers on the
east side of the lake.
Town Chairman Noel Eltering
said Monday it would involve a
cooperative agreement with Salem
Utility District Z, which operates
the only available sewage treatment
plant.
The Bristol-Salem town line
divides the lake, and Salem residents on the west are already
hooked up to the system.
A meeting has been set for residents Monday, May 16, at 6:30p.m.

E!fering said possible funding
sources will also be checked, but, he
warned, "I'm not hoping for any

miracles."
Letters were sent today to about
150 homes that would be affected by
the plan.
The Town Board adopted a new

ordinance on alcoholic beverages
that includes only one sigif\cant
ctlange.

The new law authorizes Clerk
Gloria Bailey to issue a two-year
bartender license for $18. Under the
old rule, bartender licenses were
Issued annually at a $Hl fee.
The board authorited the ad·

town.
Elfering said the board concluded
that roads in the small unicorporated village in Bristol need
paving this summer in addition to a
short section of Old Highway 45,
near Lake George.
A dog kennel license application
from Tom and Judie Zlch was denied
after being tabled two weeks ago.
The Zich residence, Highways CJ

SHANGRI-LA SEWER
PROJECT PROPOSED BRISTOL TOWN BOARD ~ Lake
Shangri-La residents met with town
engineer E.L. Crispell on May 16 to hear
a proposal for sewers that would serve
the 100 homes on the lake. Crispell's
preliminary investigation estimated the
total project coat to be $615,000.
Funding for the project would come from
front footage assessments, connection
charges and notes and bonds based on
the initial 100 residents. The front footage payment is estimated at $25 per foot.
Connection charges would run $2,000
per horne. This would leave $115,000 to
be covered by bonds and notes.
A monthly charge of $40 or more
would be paid by residents. Included in
this fee is $12.75 for principal and
interest; $3. 75, operation and maintenance; and $28 to be assessed by the
Salem District 2.
According to Clerk Gloria Bailey, the
board will remain neutral; it is up to the
residents to make the decision concerning the installment of the sewers.
Another meeting will be set within 90
days at which a concrete decision will
likely be made.

$80 Gets Sheriff Girl, Water
by Gl.ORIA DAVIS

The owner of a new night club, Club 50, in

Bristol, has found out that selling the
Kenosha County Sheriff a bottle of water for
$80 and offering him a girl for the evening is

not good for business.
At 1:30 a.m., on Sunday, May 15, after
being informed that illegal operations might
be going on by his department, Kenosha
County Sheriff Dan Piencicowski, who was
out ridmg with his wife, stopped in at the new
Bristol club which had just opened on
Friday, May 13.

"There was a $3 cover charge and a
mm1mum set of two drinks at $3 apiece,"

:,-. !')· 'iJ
said Piendcowski, who while his wife, Linda,
waited in the car, was quickly offered the intimate company ol a young lady w1th the $80
purchase of a bottle of wine
"I made the purchase of what turned out to
be a bottle of water with a personal check
and showed my driver's license for identification," said the sheriff.
Betty Ruffin, 46, who was Piensicowski's
"drink premium" was dumbfounded when
her customer identified himself-and asked if
she could please "get out of the booth first..,
The club was immediately closed by the
sheriff's department but has reopened and is
reportedly doing a poor business.
The club's owner is allegedly a George

Carlis of Waukegan and two of the employes
in the club during the Piencicowski visit
were identified as Eugene and Michael
Christofalos, the brother and nephew of
George Christofalos, former owner of the
L&L Club in North Chicago. Chnstofalos was
gunned down in his club's parking lot two
years ago.
Josephine Christofalos, his widow repor·
tedly is the present owner of the WW Club on
Sheridan Rd. in Pleasant Prairie.
Bristol Town Chairman Noel Elfering and
Bristol Supervisor Russell Horton have
stated that they will try to have the club
closed permanently

beCause Sheriff Daniel Piencikowski "raided" Club 50 in
Bristol. Club 50 has exotic dancers, and evidentally something
more_ Zapf said the sheriff was
''grandstanding" when he entered the club in a personal
investigation and then had it shut
down briefly.
Zapf said the sheriff was overreacting and played right into the
dub owner's hands by giving
them free publicity. He said an
Investigation was already under-

way.

the people know what is going on.
If Club 50 is doing something
illegal, we should know about it
as quickly as possible. And if
what is being done there Js not
illegal, but undesirable, the
sooner people know about it the
better.
In our opinion, Sheriff Pein·
cikowski acted properly in conducting his excursion to Club 5(),
We believe that the people of
Kenosha County want a sheriff
who acts decisively.

The door to

the small, white siding, grocery-

office swung

open and a friendly male voice
called inside, "Watcha' got for me
today, Butch?"
"Nothin' much, Harry," carne
the reply. "Looks Hke a few bills

Butch, more formally known as
Clarence Clausen, is the postmaster in Woodworth located in
Bristol
located in Kenosha

years with 10 years as postmaster, Clausen, 41, has lived in
the area au his life, he said.
"There's a lot of history in this
llttle place," he said. And who
would know better than he, a
fourth generation postmaster.
"'We've had postal service here
since 1!!62, when Mr. Woodworth
operated the post office from his
home. Thl"n a Mr. Robert F. Rob·
erts took over."
Clausen's personal history with
the U.S. Postal Sen,ice began in
\917 when his great-grandfather,
Clarence Yonk was postmaster.
Yonk operated the service with
his wtfe Anna ln the same building
as their grocery swre.

ORGANIZING AND getting approval for such an experiment was
no simple matter. Peterson had to
get representatives of a half dozen
government agencies to agree that
the experiment would be worthwile
and safe.
On April 8, Peterson met With
Hebard of the SCS; Mike Herman,
UW·Extension agent for Kenosha
County; Thomas Perkins, Kenosha
County zoning administrator; Jerry
Rayske of the Milwaukee Metropoli·
tan Sewage District: Thomas
Nelson of the DNR; Leonard
Massey, uw.Extension state
drainage engineer; and property
owner Fowler.
The experiment got the green
iight and on May 2, tank trucks from
Mtlwaukee brought 20 loads sludge
to the site where it was applied
below ground level by means of a
pumper truck equipped with four
plow~· and coupled hoses.
Berman said the machine discharged Hs 3.200-gallon load in a
path liJ feet wide by \50 feet tong,

nitrates ha~e been found in 14 test

creased /rom 25 to 50 bushels per

A major concern Wherever sludge
is applied is the accumulation in the
soil of heavy metals such as copper,
zinc, chromium, nickel, lead and
cadmium. Such elements do not
leach from the soil but build up,
eventually, to the point where they
could become a health hazard.
"AT THE RATE WE apply sludge
in a given field, it would take 90
years to reach limits specified by
the DNR for such metals as cadmium," Peterson said. "At current
application rates throughout the
state, it would take 1,000 years
before Wisconsin's farmland could
no longer safely accept application
of sludge."
Peterson said the amount of
heavy metals in sludge is steadily
decreasing as industries remove the
materials rather than simply flush
them down the sewer.
He cited Master Lock of Milwaukee as having gone to great expense
to extract cadmium from wastewater.

Some 150,000 gallons of sludge were

city of Milwaul\e'e of $5,000,
Sludge was hauled from Milwaukee instead of someplace closer so
that test results could be compared
to those from a site near Elkhorn
where the ¥ilwaukee sludge is also
being applied.
While the Bristol e)(periment involves nitrate runoff (surface water). the Elkhorn experiment is
checking for leaching of nitrates
into wells
Peterson said that since the testing began at Elkhorn in 1979, no
nitrates have been found in 14 test
wells, while corn yields have increased from 25 to 5() bushels per
acre in Plano silt loam soil.
A maJOr concern wherever sludge

"As a re~uH, tll"v are able to
n~cyde the cadmium' and use much
less water. lt has resulted in a
savings to the company, but it also
reqmred a large capital investmen(." he said
Another concern over sludge application on farmland has been the
possibility that disease.causing organisms can wind up in the food
chain, but Peterson said that by the
tlme human waste goes through a
sewage treatment plant, almost all
the organisms are dead and the
remaining ones quickly die after
being applied to a field.
"Some people wonder about the
value of this kind of experiment,"
Peterson said, "but finding uses for
sludge can really pay off. To simply
dump it in a sanitary landfill costs
about $300 per ton. Applying it to
farmland, the farmer saves society
about $1,000 for each acre used."

Bristol rescue calls drop 1set ry Breakfast

By ARLENE JENSEN

Staff Writer
BRISTOL Ambulance calls
have decreased significantly since
the town began charging for the
service, Supervisor Russell Horton
said Tuesday.
Rescue squads were called seven
times during May, he said, compared wlth 11 calls in May !9&2. Five
were calls to homes and the other
two were for highway accidents.
Horton said, ''The difference between seven and 17 shows that the

could not be considered conclusive,

said Horton, "I'm convinced that
after a year, we'll realize a big
decrease in unnecessary calls."
Town Chairman Noel Elfedng
said, "The squads are no longer
being called by people who have
sprained an ankle or hit their thumb
with a hammer."
"Before we started charging,"
said Horton, "one lady called the
rescue squad from Howard
Johnson's because she had a fever.
"She could have called a cab lor $6
or $7."
Bristol's decision to levy a charge
for rescue calls was followed by a
similar decision in the Town of
Slllem, hut according to Elferlng,

By ARLENE JENSEN
Staff Writer
BRISTOL- Town Chairman Noel
Elfering said Monday he doubts that
Bristol will ever ratify Kenosha
County's new zonl ngordinance.
At a meeting of the town planning
board, Elfering said he and other
Town Board members are considering writing and enforcing their own
ordinance rather than approving the
county ordinance for BristoL

wr~te_,

own zoning ordinance

Last month, the County Board
passed a comprehensive county zo ning ordinance, the first major revision of local zoning codes since
1959.
If town boards do not ratify the
new ordinance by May 1984, neither
the new ordinance or the 1959 ordinance will be in effect in that
town.
On May 26, Randall became the
first of the county's eight towns to

ratify the measure,
Elfering said Monday he has discussed the possibility of a Bristolonly ordinance with representatives
of the Wisco nsi n Towns Association.
"They have advised us that we
can have our own if it is more
restrictive than the county ordinance," he said.
A zomng ordinance adopted by
Bristol would need approval from
the cOunty Board.

Farm coup1e preparing
Dairy Breakfast welcome
8)' JOE VAN ZANDT

Staff Writer
BRISTOL - Farm life is always

busy at this time or year but for Ed
and Denise Gillmore, it has been

more ~tic than usual.
The OUimores have been spending
their spare time the pa!lt few weeks
painting, mending and sprucing up
their Oakvue Farm In preparation
for !he annual Kenosha County
Dairy Breakfast, which they will
host saturday.
Ed, 36, took over operation of the
farm in 1965 after completing a
short coune in agriculture at the
University of Wlsconsin·Madison.
Qakvue, he says proudly, has been
run by Olllmores for 138 yean, and
he Intends to continue the tradition.
He raises hay, com and oats on
the 118-acre spread to feed his 90
registered Holstein cattle. He milks
40 cows and sells many of the others
In the herd.
Although Denise, 26, has her
hands full with 7-month.oid Matthew, slle has been pitching In to
help her husband and hired hand
Phil Bohleen and neighbor boys
Dane and Dell Francis in preparation for saturday's shindig.
"All our neighbors have been
helping us get ready," Ed said. "We
got a big boost on Memorial Day
when 45 members of our church
(FoX' Valley community Church In
Paddock Lake) showed up to help
paint and do all kinds of things like
mending fences. That's one thing
about having this breakfast - it
makes you do things around the
farm that you ordinarily might tend
to put off.

"It turned out to be an oid-tashloned get-together," he said of the
Vllit. "Everyone ~ught food tor a
potluck picnic lunCh, and we ate in

the shed with the cattle."
In recent dnys, Ed has been hurrying to harvest his 60 acres of hay to
make room for a parking tot for the
hundreds of cars expected for the
breakfast.
"Come Saturday, everything wilJ
be spic and span and ready," he
said, ''but this will still he a working
farm and folks who come out for the
breakfast w!!l be able to see us
milking the cows and feeding the
animals."
on Friday, volunteers !rom the
Farm Bureau will be coming out to
help set up the food tents and vari·
ous exhibits for the festivities.
The da!ry breakfast menu win
include Wisconsin omelette, made
with musbrooms, onions, ham and
cheddar cheese, and cooked in a
giant skl!!et. Also served will he
Italian bread and whipped butter.
sweet rolls, ice cream topped with
fresh strawberries, mHk and juice.
Food will be served from 5:30 to
9:30 a.m. Guests can inspect the
farm and agricultural exhibits
before and after eating. Among the
dignitaries to attend wll! be Alice in

shooting chickens at jet engines,
windshields and landing gear to
gain information about damage
caused by aircraft colliding with
birds.

There's the perfect market for

And Wisconsin would finally get
a defense department contract.
The Air Force isn't fooling us.
They can't really be shooting

That's the story we want the

we're probably planning to drop

We don't want the Reds to

escalation. The first thing you
know they'll counter with
buzzard bombs. Remember: a
bird in a bomb is worth two In the

Reports are that the RussianS
are way ahead of us in civil

The Russians aren't ready, but
neither are we. we proved it this
week when there was a tornado
alert and no one knew what to do.
We ran around !ike a bunch of

Here's our guide on what to do
when the sirens go off Indicating
a tornado warning is in effect.
The worst part any tornado is
that you have to listen to the
radio in order to find out what's
happening and when there is an
all-<:lear. Considering the kind of
music they play on the radio
nowadays, lots of people wnuld
rather be swept off by a tornado.
If you are home when you hear
the sirens you should go to the
bar on the southwest comer or
your block Or figure it's a
squadron or Russian ICBMs so
you ain't gonna sweat no toma·
do.
If you are in your car when you
spot a tornado you should either
open your car windows, close all
the car windows, open the trunk
and climb in, get into the !eft
hme and go like heck, or re·
member to order new seat covers when this is a!! over.

There's the perfect market for
our Kenosha County chickens.
And Wisconsin would finally get

The Air Force isn't fooling us.
They can't really be shooting
frozen chickens at airplanes.
That's the story we want the
Russians to believe. In reality,
we're probably planning to drop
frozen chickens on those gOdless
Commies.
We don't want the Reds to
koow because we're afraid of
escalation. The first thing you
know they'll counter with
buzzard bombs. Remember: a
bird In a bomb is worth two in the

Reports are that the RussianS

do.
H you are in your car when you
spot a tornado you should either
open your car windows, close all

lhe car windows, open the trunk
and climb in, get into the left

lane and go like heck, or remember to order new seat cov·
ers when this is all over.
Certain courtesies should be
observed when in a group of
people waiting out a tornado. If
you have guests at your house
when the sirens begin you should
either excuse yourself and lock
yourself in the bathroom, tell
your guests you don't really have
a somhwest corner in your basemem, or show them to the door
and ~Y "Hmm, looks like the
wind is picking up."
The bes! defense against any
tornado. of course, is to click
your heels together and say,
.. There's no place like home,
!here's no place !ike home.

Ed Glllmore and his wife! Denise, put up sign for Daky Breakfast

Farm couple preparing
Qairy Breakfast welcome
the shed with the catue

By JOE VAN ZANDT
Staff Writer
BRISTOL - Farm Ute is always
busy at this time of year but for Ed
and Denise Gillmore, it has been
more hec!lc than usual.
The G!llmores have been spending
their spare time the past few weeks
painting, mending and sprucing up
their Oakvue Farm in preparation
for the annual Kenosha County
Dairy Breakfast, which they wl!l
host Saturday.
Ed, 36, took over operation of the
farm in 1965 after completing a
short course in agriculture at the
University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Oakvue, he says proudly, bas been
run by GUimores for 138 years, and
he intends to continue the tradition.
He raises hay, corn and oats on
the liS-acre spread to teed his 90
registered Holstein cattle. He milks
40 cows and sells many of the others
In the herd.

Although Denise, 26, bas her
bands full with 7-month-old Matthew, she has been pitching In to

help her husband and hired hand
Phil Bohleen and neighbor boys
Dane and Dell Francis in prepara-

tion for Saturday's shindig.
"All our neighbors have been
helping us get ready," Ed said. "We
got a big boost on Memorial Day
when 45 members of our church
(Fox Valley COmmunity Church In
Paddock Lake) showed up to help
paint and do all kinds nf things like
mending fences. That's one thing
about having this breakfast - it .
makes you do things around the
farm that you ordinarily might tend
to put off.

"It turned out to be an old-fashioned get-together," he said of the
vblit. "Everyone ~rought food tor a

By DICK MARTIN
There were two main local
news events this week. The bat·
tie over closing the chicken farm
out on Highway 50 ~continued
when the owners said they
needed more time to get rid of
the chickens. And there was a
tornado alert and Kenoshans
didn't prove very alert. We didn't
react properly when the sirens
slreened.
(You ought to read this just to
see the clever way we tie those
two events together.)
First, the chicken problem.
The chicken farm owners don't
have a drumstick to stand on.
They claim they can't get rid of
the chickens. Hah! Haven't they
read that the Air Force at
Langley, Va., Is using a special
20-foot cannon to shOot 4-pound
frozen chickens at 700 miles per
hour? The Air Force says It Is
shooting chickens at jet engines,
windshields and landing gear to
gain Information about damage
caused by aircraft colliding with
birds.

There's the perfect market for
our Kenosha County chickens.
And Wisconsin would finally get
a defense department contract.
The Air Force isn't fooling us.
They can't really be shooting
frozen chickens at airplanes.
That's the story we want the
Russians to believe. In reality,
we're probably planning to drop
frozen chickens on those godless
Commies.
We don't want the Reds to
know because we're afraid or
escalation. The first thing you
know they'll counter with
buzzard bombs. Remember: a
bird in a bomb Is worth two in the
bush.
Reports are that the RussianS
are way ahead or us in civil
defense, but we'll bet they aren't
ready for our Henny Penny at·
tack bombers loaded with Colonel &\nders' Supersonic Chicken
ShrapneL ln original and crispy.
The Russians aren't ready, but
neither are we. We proved it this
week when there was a tornado
alert and no one knew what to do.
We ran around like a bunch of
frozen chickens with our heads
cut off.
Here's our guide on what to do
when the sirens go off indicating
a tornado warning is In effect.
The worst part any tornado is
that you have to listen to the
radio in order to find out what's
happening and when there Is an
all-clear. Considering the kind of
music they play on the radio
nowadays, lots of people would
rather be swept off by a tornado.

If you are home when you hear
the sirens you should go to the
bar on the southwest comer of
your block. Or figure it's a

No reprieve for

Then•'s no reprieve for the approximately 70,000 chickens still at

the Quality Egg Farm. They're
headed for the soup pot.
And, Judge Michael Fisher said
Friday, there will be no more
chooces for Christ Ara!is, Northbrook. Ill., owner of the long.-con·
troversial egg producing -plant on
Highway 50 in Bristol.
By July 10, Fisher ruled, Quality
Egg must be shut down permanently
and its seven laying houses cleaned

of the manure whose odors caused
the business to be declared a public
nuisance
By the same date, the last of
Quality Egg's hens·, already reduced
in numbers from the approximately
100,000 housed there last month,
must be gone. They are to be
shipped to Indiana for slaughter.
At a brief bearing Friday afternoon, the judge denied a last ditch

BRISTOL - Town officials said
today they are still searching for
answers to a mysterious drain oo the
utility district's water supply during
the weekend,
The water in Bristol's 100,000gallon tower dropped to a depth of l4
feet on Friday, according to Town
C!erk Gloria Bailey - less than half

The town is supplied by a single
well, the utlity district's only source
of water. A pump with a capability
of 152 gallons per minute feeds the
tower.

Merkt ~p~ese executive reports on conference
BY CAROL M. MERKT-WILKS
Look how the candidates have voted
on the issues!
It was July 25, 1979, in page 4 that
the Westosha Report had entitled my
article, "Bristol Resident Recounts
National Business Confab.''
The article has just been reread as l
contemplate writing about my recent
attendance at the National Federation of
Indepi!ndent Business conference,
Washington, D.C., June 19 to June 23
with about six Wisconsinites present
from 'What I could discern. At least our
small Bristol business was represented
once again (Merkt Cheese Co. Inc.).
Tight security surrounded us for the
approaching visit of the President of the
United States. When I heard President
Gerald Ford 10 years ago, he was able
to mingle among the business people at
the conference with a check-over by
security before our entrance into the
mooting room. 1n 1983, we had two
metal detectors and had to form two
lines before entering the international
ballroom of the Washington Hilton
where the pl'i!sident was to speak. After
hi$ discourse, security !1\llTOUD.ded, he
was whiaked away swiftly and the
balance of the conference remm:.ed.
The "velvet voice," as coined by the
Washington Post News in 1979, had not
changed as our president spoke for the
40th anniversary year of the NFIB.
"America is getting well, growing
;;1~s and is ftee," formed ))art of his
:~g words. ''The doors to the NFIB
_Wflf'always be open.''
·-~<<-The president said it is "not good
:et.Gugh to reduce the deficit on paper
·When it reality, you're running up a
white flag on controlling domestic
sPending.. .If they can't get that through
tht>ir beads, then I am prepared to veto
their budget-busting billa again and
agllin and again."
The independent businesses cheered,
many of whom have been among the
bi)l;gest beneficiaries of the president's 3
year individuai tax cut.
"We hear so much about the greed of
busmess, ''he continued. ''Well, frankly,
I'd like to hear a little more about
courage, generosity and creativity of

that entrepreneurs don't have guaranteed annual incomes ... Just think about
it, in the Parable· of Talents, the man
with the small business spirit who
invested and multiplied his talents, his
money, was praised. "
He cited the various ways that the
U.S. trend was upward. "Just as
everything is starting to mesh, just as
Americans have spotted the dawn of a
new age - strong growth without a
returo to runaway inflation and interest
~ates - the guardians have a graveyard

whleh should remain dead and buried for
all time ... ," the president said.
"It' a called Americana make, govern-

''Cappingthe third year of the tax cut
won't soak the rich, but it will drown
millions oftupayers in the middle class.
The wealthle.st earners with incomes
above $110,000 got their full tu cut in

.Reagan continued, ''A cap on the tax

The theme this y<:>ar wa8 America,

is the backbone of the ewnomic system,

question is, why is the tax burden shifted
to small business?
8eel:etary of Treasury Donald Regan
says, ''The NFIB has to remain
independent and ask how to get the fat
out of government. Unless we get
spending under comro!, there Me :~eri­
ous problems ahead '' He advocates a
tax system that encourages economic
growth; an expression of what people
want and need. ''Reach out tor free
enterprise to be more productive by
incentives,'' He was asked several
questions, one of which was. "Where
are interest rates headed?'' His answer:
"Down.''
Senator Ernest Hollings says he
would like to be president beeause he
would like to put people bsc.kto work and
the government back to work for the
people.
Several excellent seminars were
concurrent but l selected the one where 1

Labor: Changes from Cuter to Reagan.
S&:retary of Labor Raymond Donovan
said, "You don't know about business

He expressed that llmall business is
famil.y and the president ha~ done much
to continue the health of small business.
OSHA has reduced the paper work and
was the most nitpicking of allmd now it
is no longer crime and penalty. "As we
go, so goes the nation.'·
Senator Orrin Hatch say~ the deficit
came from the '· al•nighty C"A:~ngress, ·'
not from Carter or .Reagan. He said that
the Secretary of State '-'11'18 100 percent
for the workers but has been against the
corruptive forces of unionization ~md that
he understands an the spectrums of
labor. He said, '·!f you want to stay in
business, better get i:r!volved in politics
because if you don't, you 'r<' noL going to

get elected.
The Tuesday generai se.~sion had

Rep. Jim Jone~. chairman, House

cannot be eCDnomic recovery. Congyess

Paris has no emergency services
of its own but contracts with Somers, Bristol and Union Grove for
protection. Each department is assigned a specific area. On occasion,
calls are relayed to the wrong department by the county's central
dispatching service.
''Our contract doesn't say anything about erroneous calls," said
Lindl.
He said Somers answered a call
for rescue service on June 11 that
should have gone to Union Grove.
"Our squads don't question lt," he
said. "When they're called, they just
go. They ask questions later."

Lake Geq_r_ge drops dredging plan
By ARLENE JENSEN
Staff Writer
BRISTOL- Dredging no longer is
an opt10n being considered for re"
habilitating Lake George
That was the message heard by
the approximately 25 property
owners attending the annual meetmg Friday of the Lake George Protection and Rehabilitation District.
The district had toyed for a
number of years with the idea of a
dredgmg project. Last year, district
res!dents voted to hire a consultant
to make a preliminary study.
"Right in the middle of the study,
the decision was taken out of our
hands." said Gerald Mailman, outgoing district d:airman.
Mailman said after the state Legislature voted not to fund lake resto·
ration projects around the state,
dredging was out of the question.
Noel Elfering, Bristol town chairmarl, said lw \hoaght th~ dredging of

"Even if you had gotten money
from the state," said Elfering, "a
dredging project would have cost
you more in .monthly payments than
your sewer bills."
Since lake weeds are a major part
of the problem, residents teod to
agree that a control program is
necessary.
Lake George would be too expensive
even if state aid was available.
Sediment and decomposing
aquatic vegetation over a long per!·
od of time tends to fill in shallow
inland lakes. Dredging the silt from
the bottom is an effective but ex·
pensive rehabilitation measure.
The Lake George project cost was
est1mated at $250,000 to $300.000.
The district had hoped to receive
ahout $100,000 of the cost from the
state. The rest of the bill would have
been paid by the approximately 170
property owners in the d1strict.

At Friday night's meeting at the
town hall, several argued about the
weed control mettlod.
For several years, a weed
harvesting machine has been used
on Lake George twice each summer
to cut weeds below the surface of the
water. Weed cuttings are removed
from the lake. The harvesting costs
$80 per hour of operation.
Prior to harvesting, the district
used chemical spraying to control
weeds.
Mallman advocated harvesting,
saying that weeds killed by spray
sink to the lake bottom and decay.
"The only way to improve the
water quality is to cut the weeds and
remove them," Mal!man said.
Sam laquinta, a Lake George
lakefront property owner. disagreed. He sa1d weed harve~ting has
not prover.. effective.
.
''l want to see cleanlmess,'' la·
quinta said, "1 don"t want tne lake to

look like a garbage dump.'
Iaquinta said he had received per·
mission from the state Department
of Natural Resources to spray the
weeds along his own shoreline at his
own expense. He said the DNR had
studied the weed control methods.
"Why don't you bel!eve tl!em
when they say spraying is OK?"
asked Iaquinta
Elfering and another Jake district
member, Eugene Adamski, suggested a compromise program of
both spraying and harvestiilg weeds.
Jim D'Antuono, a senior planner
from thE Southeastern Wisconsin
Regional Planning Commission, indicated that SEWRPC aquatic experts "can give you an idea ol the
effectiveness of both metbodo."
The district has contracted for
weed-cuttmg this summer. How·
ewr,adecisiononthel984program
was deferred to a speciai meeting,

A Horse In Eve

Backyard?

by DIANA KUYPER

You don't want a dog, you're allergic to
cats and f1sh aren't loveable enough. How
about a miniature horse for a backyarrl pet?

Corky Eisen, owner of Iron Gate Farro in

Bristol,

raises

miniature

horses

that

measure no more than 34 inches high at the
baseofthemane.
It's not farfetched to imagine these horses
as backyard pets, Eisen said. They are
loveable and gentle animals, cost less than 30

cents a day to feed and are hardier than a
full-grown horse.

Although Eisen, who has owned Iron Gate
for about two and a half years, is still in a
breeding program, his eventual goal is to sell
h\s horses to people who intend to keep the
animals as pets.

"It's a whole new scope of interest for the
horse lover, and it opens up possibilities for
those who could never own a horse before,"
Eisen said.
He believes miniature horses, which are
actually the oldest breed of horse known to
man, are not just a ''lark or whim."
"The quarter horse has lost popularity, the
interest in Arabian horses is waning_ I think
the miniature horse is the horse of the
future," he saidEisen's motto f-or Iron Gate Farm is "A
HOl"Se Ranch In Your Own Backyard." He
says he's been involved in horses all his life,
and when he was looking for a way to use his
newly-purchased 3B acres on Hy. V in Bristol,
he hit upon miniature h()rses.
They are unique to this area, with the
closest neighboring farms in Rockford and
Portage, Wis. He feJt he could comfortably
accomodate miniature horses on his property as well as larger horses.

Good Comparison

Since purchasing the property he has built
two barns, one with full-sized stables and the Becky, a fvHgrown more. poses with

ticipate in the running of the farm on
weekends.
Eis~n said h!s stock comes from Virginia,
Florida and Ohio, and there are only about
4,000miniature horses in this COUll try.

The smaller the animal the more valuable

it is. His herd sire is 29 and a half inches tall
at the whithers. The sire's brother stands
only 'Zl and a half inches talL The mares
usually stand 31 to a3 inches tall. Any smaller
than that, Eisen explained, and they have
trouble foaling.
Foals are 17 to 22 inches at birth, with the
animal reaching its full height within three
years.
The appeal of miniature horses goes further than their convenient size, Eisen said.

The animals needs a minimum of space,

adequate for cold weather. Eisen said the
animals are hardier than a full-grown horse,
and because of their light weight, they don't
need to be shod.
They eat about a bale of hay a month and
are easy to train.

Progress Days sets McDonald's to add
attendance record cash booth to drive-up
By ARLENE JENSEN } -/
Staff Writer
BRISTOL - Town officials said
Monday the 14th annual Progress
Days celebration last weekend drew
record crowds for a!! events. .
Town Supervisor Donald Wtenke,
chairman of the coordinating committee, estimated that 15,000 persons gathered Sunday night to watch
the fireworks display that concluded
the celebration.
Because of 90-degree temperatures and high b.umidity, rescue
personnel handled numerous cases
'of heat exhaustic' , said Wienke,
especially during
day's parade.
Wienke cited "t 'UiHgence of tbe
clean-up crew. They even raked the

Tool coxupany expansion rejected
By ARLENE JENSEN
Staff Writer
The Kenosha County Board of
Adjustment Thursday turned down
DouglasColeman'svariancerequest
and told the Bristol businessman !lis
industrial bmldmg has outgrown ns
location.
.
COleman sought permisswn to
construct a 16- by 120-foot wooden
awning addition on tile rear of his
building at Bristol Road and 102nd
St. The awning would have been
w!thtn one foot of the lot line.
Coleman, owner of Coleman Tool

Co., told tile t>oard the awnmg would
serve two purposes- cut down on the
noise from the buildwg and proc·ide
storage for equipm~nt, including a
heat-treating furnace
"There come~ a time 1n the life of
every compeny when you outgrow a
location," Sheila Seigler, board
chmrman, told Coleman "By allowing a variance, we would be allowing
furt!ler expansion."
Several of Coleman's neighbors
spoke at the hearing, some in favor,
some opposed.
James Step!lens, a neighbor, said

Coleman's \>;;;;i·,\tion of the industrial property has •mproved the
neighborhooG
''The prow•rty has appreciated in
value," said St~phens
Martin Bauer, who also lives
nearby, sa1d he opposed the project
because he feared the wooden awn1ng over a heat-treating furna~.e
would be a fire hazard
County Zoning Administrator
Larry Brumback assured Bauer that
Coleman must comply wit!l state
and local bltildfng codes for furnace
in, lallation.

Earlier this week, the Bnstol
Planmng Board voted unanimously
to recommend approval of the CoJ.
eman variance
The Town Board has not met to
act 1m the recommendation from its
planning board, aad Town Chairman
Noel Elfering said in a letter to ~he
adjustment lx!ard· "We, the Town
Board, do not recommend or deny
the request of Doug Coleman."
After his petition was denied,
Coleman 'said, "My operation will
cuntinue. My neighbors will be the
losers. I really felt an awning would

be in their best interest."
In the only other 1t~m on the
agenda, Anthonly Bertolani, Hl256
!87th Court, received permission to
constructal0-by24-footadditionon
his home in Mango's Lake George
Gardens Subdivision
Theodore Lorenz, appointed to the
adjustment board by the County
Board on Aug. 2, tool\ his seat for
Thursday's hearing.
Lorenz, representing the Town or
Randall, will serve through June 30,

1985.

F"Irst National'!i·/"
Bank
reorganizes
,_,
The board of directors of 'F1rst
National Bank of Kenosha said it has
approved a plan in which the bank
would reorganize into a holding
company.
The hOlding company has been
formBd by the bank management
and will be called First Financial
Associates. Inc
According to the plan, which must
be approved by shareholders and
banking industry regulatory author·
ities. tile bank would become a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the hold·
ing company. No changes are anticipated in bank operations or personnel

1

As a result of the reorganization,
shareholders of the bank will become shareholders of the holding
company, receiving one share of
common stock of the holding com·
pany for each share of the bank's
common stock they own.

First National is the se(OOd
Kenosh.a bank to reorganize in this
manner since Brown National Bank
battled takeover bids starting last
year, Brown National was eventually taken over by tile Independence Bank Group, Waokesh.a. American State Bank formed a holding
company earlier this year.

A brave smile greeted Bristol Rescue Squad members at
the scene of a three-vehicle coutslon Wedne8day afternoon at the lntersectlon of Highway 50 and I-94, Two
cars and a pick-up were involved. Squad members fitted
a cervical collar and backboard to this driver, just In
case her injuries were more serious than they appeared,

Possible land use
worries residents
W1sconsin and Illinois residents
wiiJ meet Thursday to discuss their

mutual concern over the possibility
o! a 385-acre landfill just south of the
qtate line.
Coordinated by Newport Environmenta! Action Team, a citizen
group, the public meeting is set for
7:30p.m. at Newport School, souttleast of the intersection of U.S Highway 41 and Illinois 173,
fhe target of NEAT"s concern !sa
tract of land west of I-94,
l,4 mi!e south of Kenosha
Co11oty Highway WG (State Line
Road).
The parcel was sold earlier this
year to the John Sexton Co., Hillside. lll., a firm which operates
!andfiH sites in Illinois, according to
NEAT public affairs chief Judith
Beauchamp.
Beauchamp said neighbors were
alerted to the possibility of a future
dump when a resident saw workmen
domg soil borings.
"We did some checking, found out
who bought the !and and !earned
that Sexton paid $1.35 million," she
said. "We're reasonably sure they
wouldn't spend that much money on
a p1ece of ground they intended to
use for farming."
The land is a haven !or wildlife,
said Beauchamp, with hardwood
forests, rolling hills, streams and
two Jakes.
'We l!ve in an area where a!J the
residents are dependent on well water,'" she said, "and we can't afford

to have it polluted."
Beauchamp says the area already
has too many landfills, "five or six
of them in eight square miles."
She said NEAT plans tu marshall
forces from both states tu fight the
possible landfill through legal channels.
"We know Sexton bas to get permission from the Environmental
Proteetion Agency and we will try to
prevent it."
NEAT has 129 members after a
recent membership drive.
Dr. Kathleen Shea is the group's
president. Mike McLure is chairman
of legislative action and Pat
Palmeire heads finance and mem.

Thursday's session will focus on
educating the membership.
"We'll show them how they can
help," said Beauchamp, "either tn.

SLADE$ CORNERS ~ It's not
every d;:,y you get a chance to
buttonhole the governor and tell him
exactly what'~ on your mind, but for
Ute afternoon crowd at Butler's Embers, Monday was that day.
Gov. Anthony Earl visited Butlers
for a couple of reasons. He came to
keep a promtse made a year ago to
pub owner Don Butler, and he came
·to rub elbows w1t11 the residents of
western Kenosha County
"The people are very direct with
me," said EarL "It's not really a
gnpe session, but Kenosha people
are not afrmd to talk about what
concerns them."
The· list begms, not surprisingly,
with taxes, a 1lniversal complamt.

Moving easily among the crowd,
clustered in twos and threes
throughout the bar and adjoining
restdurant, Earl is greeted With
"Hey, Tony. How's it going?'' and
"Good to see you, Gov."
Joe and Fay Czubin, Bristol, came
to chat with the governor and found
a lot of their fnends and neighbors
doing the same thing.
"Tony lS just a regular guy like
:the rest of us," said Czubin. "He
doesn't put on the dog like some

BRISTOL - Rather than race the
prospect of installing holding tanks
to correct failing septiC systems, a
small group of Bristol residents

Wednesday petitioned for sewer ser' vice via Salem Utility Dlstrict 2.
After meeting with property
owners from the Bristol side of Lake
Shangrila, the Bristol Town Board
voted to establish a new utility
district and authorized legal and
engineering work to commence.
Verbal approval has already been
Obtained from Salem Utillty District

commtss10ners.
Initially, tbe district will include

-'5)

131ots on the northernmost tip of the
lake. The district will begin at tbe
Bristol-Salem town line and extend
east on II 7th Street to the intersection with 214th Avenue. As planned,
the last connectwn wi!l be at Bill
and Margaret's Lake Shangrila Re·
sort.
Town officials said Wednesday
more connections could be allowed
but only for property that fronts on
ll7th Street and can be drained by
gravity flow.
Town Chairman Noel Elfering
said residents who want to be included must contact the town immediately.
"Petition us now or forget it,"
said Elfering.

petitions for sewers

Engineer E.L. Crispell estimated
the total project cost at $42,200.
Front foot assessments are estimated at $24.50 per foot and lateral
assessments at $625 tor each of the
13 lots.
Crispell predicted each of the lots
would be assessed a total of $2,500 to
$3,000. Additionally, property
owrters can expect to pay $12 to $15
per foot for plumbing on their own
property.
Bristol residents will also pay the
Salem transportation and treatment
charge currently set at $28 per
month.
Three weeks ago, a proposal for
installinJ sewer.~ throusi!Out_,rhe en·
lire east side of the lake was &Ired

with significantly higher costs than
those discussed Wednesday, but
Crispell pointed out the earlier proposal included forced mains and a
lift station to accommodate the hilly
terrain.
The small contingent of residents
at the northern end of the lake
becomes the second group to split
off from the community and go it on
their own.
The eastern shore of Shangrila is
all in Bristol, but the 100-plus homes
were included in the initial planning
for the 5alem project. Some residents objected because of the cost
and told Bristol officials they
wanted no part of tile sewer project.
In 1981, nine property owners on

Hilltop Dnve petmoned for sewers.
They were accepted into the district
and benefitted from state and federal funds then avaJIHble.
Inclusion of the additional 13 lots
still leaves between 85 and 9{) homes
without sewers.
Elfering said, "I feel sorry for
those people whu really need sewers
and are not going to get them."
He held out hope for a bill that is
currently m the legJslative process,
Assembly Bill 307, which collld pro·
v1de some relief for property owners
faced with a costly sewer project.
'•If that bill passes, we'll call a
meeting of the rest of the suP,
division and reconsider our plans,"
he said.

sheriff's deputies he discovered thE
burglary at lO a.m. Friday morning
when he went to his garage and
trailer located across from his
home.
HE" said he spoke with a possible
witness who saw a late model black
van parked by the trailer between
noon and 1 p.m. Thursday. Taken in
the robbery were: a steam table,
bun warmer, french fryer, stainless
steel pots, a meat slicer, soda.
mustard, relish. peppers. and 135<
pounds of sausage.

BRISTOL - Clifford and Lorry
Galster mlght not say their social
life has gone to the dogs, but they do

admit they have few social activities that don't in some way involve their Brittany spaniels.
"Our lives revolve around them,"

Lorry admits.
"During the field trials, we're
gone every weekend," Galster said.
"Some are at Bong Recreation Area
and others take place in Indiana,
Illinois, Michigan, and Minnesota."
His lnViolvement with sporting
dogs began 17 years agu when he
purchased a Brittany and joined the

Greater Milwaukee Brittany Club.
He now has four of them which be

purchased as pups or acquired
through breeding.
"I've learned to train the dogs
from books and professional

trainers at tile Richmond Hunt Club
where I worked for two years," said
Galster_
Initial training involves teaching
the basic Commands: no, come, sit,
and stay. There's no age limit to
teaching that, said Galster.
"The dog's intelllgence depends
on his breeding. ·• Galster said.
He said the trainer must adjust
his temperament to the age and
temperament of the dog.
"You wouldn't handle a puppy e:s
you would an adult dog. If you abuse
a puppy, chances are you'll end up
with negative results the same as
you would if you would if you abused
a child.
"Voice control,'' he stressed, "is
the most important part of training."
He said the best learning stage is
from two to three years old.
"At three, they're fully trained
and from then on you just brush up
on their style," he said.
The Galsters are running three
dogs in the American Kennel Club
field trials held for eight weeks in
the spring and fall.
In addition, Galster enters his
dogs In the Brittany Club and American Field competition.
Dogs are judged for stamina and
ability to apply themselves to the
terrain in finding game, Galster
said.
Field trials, which may attract
about 250 persons, show breeders
and others interested in sporting
dogs the animals that are bred to
handle the events most etf&tively.
"It's also a competition between
good friends," Galster said.
Dogs competing to become field
champions may be entered in the
puppy class, derby class (up to age
two), aU age class, amateur, and
gun dog.
"We use blank pistols and plant
the game ourselves," Glaster said.
"For the last challenge only, we use
live ammunition so the dogs can
show bow they retrieve birds.
"The dogs cover a lot of territory
in the events, so we use horses for
transportation and stay about a
quarter of a mile behind them.

Bristol sewer project dis-jointed
By ARLENE JENSEN
Staff Writer
BRISTOL - Unless the towns of
Bristol and Pleasant Prairie can
reach agreement on a common
sewer project, users in both towns
will pay 15 to 20 percent more in
sewer use charges, Philip Evenson
told the Bristol Town Board Tuesday.
"In the 15 or 16 years I've beerr
workmg on sewer projects, t!Jis 1s
the !irst time I've run anoss two
towns that are unable to work w·

Evenson and Robert Biebel, rep·
tesentmg Southeastern Wisconsin
Regional Planning Commission,
met with Bristol official~ to d1scuss
a plan by the town to construct a
sewer collection system and new
treatment plant for a small com·
mercia! district near Highway 50
and 1-94.
Initially, the Bristol district was
to be part of an expanded Sewer
District 0 in Pleasant Prairie. A
collector sewer would transmit sew·
age to the plant Pleasant Prairie
plans to build near County Highway
C and Bain Station Road.
"It's not the town boards that
have trouble getting along," said

E!fering and bot!! town

Horton said he has an additional

"The city is only atlout a mi!e

sa1d Horton. "What's to stop them

"lt Will be too bad for Pleasant

won't get a treatment plant; the

Lfuldfill operators make
pitch to local politicians
By STEVE LUND

Staff Writer .-c · ,f- '
Waste Mangagement of Wisconsin, Inc. aimed
its pitch at local politicians over cocktails and
dinner at Bristol Oaks County Club Monday night.
The politicians are crucial customers. They
hold the keys to big municipal garbage collection
contracts.
Waste Management can absorb the business at
its recently-opened $5 million sanitary landfill on
County Highway Kin the Town of Paris, just east
of Highway 4!'1.
Monday's tour, dinner and question and answer
sessions were just the beginning for the Kenosha
County elected officials.
"We're going to be making a pitch to Kenosha
County for a countywide contract,"' said William
Katzmao, president of Waste Management of
Wisconsin.
His firm has a countywide contract in Manitowoc County at its Ridge View landfill.
Waste Management uses landfill project names
that sound like residential subdtvisions. It discourages people from calling them dumps. A
project n~ar Menomonee Falls ls called Omega
Hills. The one in Kenosha County is called
Pheasant Run.
The new iandfill handles commercial and in·
duslrial as well as municipal wastes, but commercial and industrial customers have been
dealing with Waste Management's subsidiary,
Best Disposal Systems, tor years. Best will now
take local customers" refuse to Pheasant Run
instead of Waste Management's landfill in Franklin.
The City of Kenosha, however, hauls its garbage to a competing landfill operated by
Browning-Ferris Industries just south of the
Illinois border.
Numerous meetings, hearings and some Jaw·
suits, now dropped, have helped make the public
aware of the new landfill. Through the three-anda-half-year process of getting . site approval,

Ltindfill operators make
pitch to local politicians
By STEVE LUND
Staff Writer ". r: '/
Waste Mangagement of Wisconsin, Inc. aimed
its pitch at local politicians over cocktails and
dinner at Bristol Oaks County Club Monday night_
The politicians are crucial customers. They
bold the keys to big municipal garbage collection
contracts.
Waste Management can absorb the business at
its recently-opened $5 million sanitary landfill on
County Highway Kin the Town of Paris, just east
of Highway 45.
Monday's tour, dinner and question and answer
sessions were just the beginning for the Kenosha
County elected officials.
"We"re going to be making a pitch to Kenosha
County for a countywide contract," said Wilham
Katzman, president of Waste Management of
Wisconsin.
His firm has a countywide contract in Man·
itowoc County at its Ridge View landfill.
Waste Management uses landfill proje<:l names
that sound !ike residential subdivisions. It discourages people from calling them dumps. A
project near Menomonee Falls is called Omega
Hills. The one in Kenosha County is called
Pheasant Run.
The new landfill handles commercial and industrial as we!! as municipal wastes, but commercial and industrial customers have been
dealing with Waste Management"s subsidiary,
Best Disposal Systems, for years. Best will now
take local customers' refuse to Pheasant Run
instead of Waste Management's landfill in FranKlin.
The City of Kenosha. however, hauls its gar·
bage to a competing landfill operated by
Browning-Ferris Industries just south of the
l!linois border.
Numerous meetings, hearings and some law·
SUltS, now dropped, have helped make the public
aware of the new landfill. Through the three-and·
a-half-year process of getting site approval,

calendar year. March marks the
start of the mating season and
female minks give birth in 40 to
80 days. A dark, cool spring, such
as we saw in Wisconsin this year,
means the "kits" (mink Jitters)
will arrive later than usual. Normally, it's late April or early
May.
The young minks are fed by
their mothers for six weeks or
maybe longer, then placed in
separate cages at the start of
July. The first coat of fur to grow
is usually shed by the end of
summer and a new one starts. It
works its way on each animal
from tail to the head, gradually
covering more of the animal's

()utdoor tnsects target of new Churmglow products
Charmglow Is counting on your
respect for bug life in introducIng an new indoor and outdoor
pest control devices,
The well-known gas grill company ln Bristol has introduced
several new products recently,
Including the indoor Ultrasonic
Pest Control Unit that chases
bugs and rodents away.
"It doesn't kill them," explained Gene McGuire,
Charmglow Product's president.
"Some people don't like to kill
things."
Instead, the unit uses two
speakers to emit high intensity
sound waves that are to bug the

pests' hearing and nervous systems.
The company, which employes
about 200 people at its roughly
197,000 square foot plant in the
Bristol Industrial Park, also has
devised an outdoor, portable bug
lure, called Pest-Aside, that uses
an enclosed ultraviolet bulb to
attract but not kill insects.
For those Jess conscincestriken about zapping pesky
creatures, Charmglow has added
three new outdoor electronic bug
killers to its insect control lineup.

McGuire is hopeful about the
success of the new items. "Peo-

pie wlll buy just about anything

to get rid of rats and rodents,"

he said. "Just walk into a store
and see all the products for bug
control. It's a multi-million
dollar market."

Sales of about 400,000 of the
devices industry-wide in 1979
have bloomed now to about a

million per year, according to
company material. Charmglow,
which has had a plant here since

1963 and moved its offices from
Antioch, IlL In 1975, jumped in

because people using its gas
grills might be "chased inside by
mosquitoes,'' McGuire said.

The move to the indoor unit for

homes and offices was taken
because it was a logical step
from the original use in restaurants and other food processing
businesses, he said.
The company also introduced
this year three new grills In the
low price range, two new grills
in the mid-price range and a
14JA-pound portable.
McGuire said most of
Charmglow's grlll sales, which
he wouldn't reveal because of
company policy, are "upscale"
and to persons who're moving
from charcoal grills.
Some 12 million grills are sold

every year now, and about 2
million are gas-fired, he said.
Gas grills may consume about 17
percent of the grill market in
number of units, but they could
be as much as 60 percent in
dollars, he said. Gas grills are
more expensive to buy than
charcoal grills but do not need
charcoal and lighter fluid.
McGuire reported in the
company's recent newsletter
that Charmglow has had two
straight record years of sales
and earnings.
"Gas grill sales are growing at
about IS percent a year, in leaps

and bounds," he added. And they
don't just sell in March, April
and May, as was the case in the
past. "They've become a big
Thanksgiving and Christmas
item," McGuire said.
The introduction of less-costly
models is a result of consumer
demand, he said. "There are a
Jot of trends developing, and the
answer is to keep up," he said.
"Success is a result of making
sure you have the right product
in the market to answer the
consumer's needs and analyzing
what kind of prices are in de·
mand."

Gene L

dent, shown at left witi1 two
new products, believes in d!f·
ferent departments under·
standing each other as a way
of business.
"I believe in total involve"
ment by department management and staff," said
McGuire, who began as pre~i­
dent of the Bristol company
on May 3, "Out of that in·
volvement will come opinions, plans and input for next
year's products.''
The Libertyville, Ill. resident, who joined Charmglow
in October 1980 as director of
sales, said that approach
helps the company to be productive.
"The question is, how do
you make, say, purchasing

McGuire was prDmoted to
director of sales and marketing in 1981. He had had more
than 20 years of sales, marketing and distribution ex·
perience in the home appliance field, including jobs Df
national sales manager at
Tappan and manager Df home

He succeeded William L.
Fox, who was named presi·

the eastbound lane. he apparently
lost control. His car skidded on the
south shoulder and shot across the
center line into the path of Lysek's
westbound car.
After that collision, Lysek's car
spun around and the left rear went
into the path of Wisnefski's truck
The Flahive car spun about 180 feet,
overturned, and hit a chain link
fence that sheered off a portion of
the auto's left side. The car landed
about 30 feet from the north side of
the road.

rear passenger seat, was thrown
from the car on impact. Efforts at

To the Editor~ · i .- o:
Two young lives were taken in the
recent tragic accident on Highway
50, which has sadly affected or
altered the lives of many others.
The initial report, with the list of
possible charges the driver may
face, led me to he!ieve that "the
accident was tile result of 'one of
those careless to the point of being
reckless teen drivers,· passing in a
no passing zone in one of Highway
50's treacherous areas!" of whtch
there are many.
Later, when ! had occasion to
drive the area of the scene of the
accident. l was surprised to ftn(l thqt

:Salem, Bristol agree'qn LC,lke Shangrila sewers
By JIM ROHDE
Staff Writer
SALEM ~ Tentative agreement
was reached Thursday between the
Bristol and Salem town boards to
allow a small group of Bristol property owners at Lake Shangrila .to
co_nnect to-Salem Sewer Utility D1stnct 2 sewers.
Bnstol Town Chairman Noel
Elfering, accompamed by superv1sors Donald Wienke, Russell
Horton, and Town Clerk Gloria
Bailey, sought an agreement which
would provide 15 or 16 property
owners on the east side of Lake
Shangrila with the sewer service.
Elfering said his board has scheduled a pul:llic hearing Monday on the
proposed extension.
-~;Bristol engineer E.L. Crispell

-:t1 ~21-·'::ij
ProJect engineer Kenneth Nelson,
of Donohue and Associates, gave the
board a progress report on Phase II
connruction of 14 extensions in Uti!ity Distnct 2.
Nelson said 60 percent of the pipe
is in the ground and 50 percent of the
money has b:en s~ent.
Nelsou sa1d gnnder pumps and
lift otations have to be installed. He
said a mmor cost overrun resulted
from the installation of piling necessitated by poor soil conditions but
may be offset in other areas.
"We will still be well under the
contingency amount allowed on the
proJect," Nelson sa1d
What should be good news to ,'lome
Salem property owners was word
that road pa;ing is scheduled t.o
begin nrxt week on County Highway

suggested Bristol create its own
sewer district and contract with
Salem for the service.
Salem Town Chairman Richard
Hautzinger said he sees no problem,
and Salem will not require annexatwn of the properties into the distnct as in a pre\IJ~Us extension.
"You must realize that no grant
or sewer utility money wiH be expended l:ly Salem on the project,"
Hautzinger said. "We wil! also ex·
peel the users to provide some
payment for prior costs on the plant
and its lines."
Hautzinger suggested the two
town engineers work out a solution
for the approval of both boards.
The district will t:Jegin at the
Bristol·Salem town line and extend
east on !17th Street.

SA and- Nelson Road and include
County Highway F if weather permils.
Michael Robinson of Nelson Constructors told the board that paving
will not be done on town roads until
sprmg but compaction Will make
them ~assable: . _
.
Robmson sa1d hts f1rm WI!! have a
crew m Salem throughout the wmter
to mamtam the roads.
Hautzinger expressed concern
about drainage along some town
road because of the dumping of fill
dirt in ditches. Robinson indicated
ditches will be cleared to provide
proper drainage.
Hautzinger said the town bas no
control over the dumping of fill from
the sewer project and warned resi·
dents filhng in wetlands that they

had better have permits from tQe
county before accepting the fill,
Seven property owners appealed
to the IJoard for a discontinuance,
reduction, or refund of user fees.
The board dropped the user fee
but denied a refund lor Richard

on Bristol's municipal water supply,
Joseph Czubin told tbe Bristol Town
Board Monday.
Czubin. a -resident of the Bristol
water utility district, urged town
officials to seek more information
about a plan by Waste Management
Inc. to increase the use of its landliU
site at County Highway K and U.S.
Highway 45 in the Town of Paris.
Paris and Waste Management of·
ficials met last week to discuss a
proposal that would increase the
volume of waste accepted at the
facility and initiate recycling operations.
"This should not be taken light·
ly," said Czubin. '"Paris is a border·
ing town and we've got a municipal
well planned within a half mile of
the landfill."
The landflll currently receives
about 25 truckloads of garbage a day
from Kenosha. Racine and
Walworth counties. The new plan
would involve residentml and com·
mercia! garbage from Lake and
McHenry counties in ntinois, an
increase of about 10,000 cubic yards
per month.
Company representatives said
last week they expect to hire people
to sift through garbage for

she said, questions were raised
concerning financing of tbe

According to Foerster, committee chairman, parents have
asked why we sell tickets when
we receive donations from various organizations as well as the
taxpayers of Bristol.
E)[penses for the annual par·
ty topped $600, said Foerster,
while donations totaled $325.
The remainder of the mqney
comes from ticket~ sold to chll·

More than half of the,budget
is spent on candy to fill treat
bags for nearly 400 children.
Other items include cash
prizes, film rental and re·
fresllment-s for a dance that was
given for older children.
Town Chairman Noel E!fer·

no complaints from the town.
"We think they do a good

SALEM - The town boards of
Salem and Bristol ironed out the
wrinkles Tuesday, Nov. 8, in an
agreement that would connect a an
area of Bristol homes to the Salem
Utility 2 sewer system.
Salem residents in the sewer district have been paying off a $1
million bond issue to build the
sewers since 1979, even though most
were not booked up to the system
until later.
Salem Supervisor Richard Stetson
proposed that in addition to an initial one-time charge of $6.1-46 per
tot, Bristol residents whose homes
would be booked up to the Salem
sewer would pay the untlenefitted
users fee of $35 per month tor the
first three years, then would revert
to whatever the going rate Is for
benefitted users in Salem. At the
present time, that fee is $28 per
month.
The additional $7 per month would
result in s total of $263 over the
three years for each household in·
volved and would compensate Salem
on a percentage basis for its prior
costs in building the sewage treatment plant and sewer network.
' At.the end of the three years, the
.Bristol users would become bene-~fl\ted users with the saml' status as
'Salem users.

Six years on the department

By JOE VAN ZANDT
Staff Writer
BRISTOL It's been
· almost six years since Ann
Cameron became the first
female firefighter in Kenosha
County and- proved to skeptics
that she could handle the job.
Today, she is one of the
most active members of the
Bristol Volunteer Fire Department, qualified both as
firefighter and rescue emergency medical technician.
Proof of her acceptance is the
fact that she has risen steadily through the ranks and holds
the position of captain on the
27-member department.
But it wasn't always so.
Cameron, married and the
mother of three youngsters,
recalls when she first joined
the department and had to
deal with seasoned firefighters who questioned having a woman on the force.
"I am a nurse and felt I
could contribute to the com·
munity by joining the rescue
squad," she said. "Then I
found out that in Bristol,
membership on the rescue
squad and fire department
are combined and that to be
an EMT, I'd also have to
become a firefighter.
"I was definitely apprehensive about the prospect
of becoming a firefighter,"
the 120-pound, 5-foot-5 Cameron admits. "But I decided to
go ahead and give it my best
·and accept the fact that there
would be some things, such as
lifting heavy weights, that I
just wouldn't be able to do as
well as the men."
As a rookie, she attended
training sessions conducted
by Gateway Techmcal Inshtute at the Lake Geneva
fire station and ran into more
than a little hostility from
firefighters from other area
departments.
"I would hear them
grumbling that they'd never
go into a burning building
with me on the hose line and
making similar comments,"
she said. "It didn't bother me
too much because I could ap·
preciate their concerns.

SALEM - An agreement to ex·
tend sewer service to 14 property
owners on the east shore of Lake
Shangrila in the Town of Bristol was
approved Thursday by the Salem
Town Board.
Under terms Jt the agreement,
Bristol property owners m a 5!)-.acre
area comprising Bristol UU!\ty Dis·
trict 4 are to pay the entire cost cf
the sewer line extension, a one-time
charge of :W3.46 per Jot to cover
prior costs, Salem's current mill
rate, and the Salem Utility Dlstrict 2
non-benefitted monthly sewer
charge of $35 for the first three
years of service.
Town Attorney Cecil Rothrock
said the one-time charge, which
must he paid during the first quarter
of 19S4, covers prior costs paid hy
the utility district property owner~
for engineering aml administrative
expenses prior to construction.
Bristol users will also pay a pro·
portionate share of the general obligation notes which win amount to
9.J cents per $1,000 of assessed
Valuation.
Rothrock said the non·benefitted
~er charge will go towards prior
&lsts which property owners have

Bristol adopts
gifted J?rogram

)J 1:'--f- -;? J
BRISTOL- A program for gifted
and talented students titled Students
Having Innate Potential was
adapted Tuesday by the Bristol Consolidated School Board following
months of planning,
Clerk Lynn Maher said the
criteria used in selecting the first H
students in the program include
having an JQ of 130 or higher, scoring at least 98 percent on annual
achievement tests, a recommendation by the classroom·homeroom
teacher, scoring in the highest reading group, and approval of parents.
Maher said students will remain
in their own class but will be offered
advanced math, brain teasers, extra

Sue Plants, 8801 l3Gth Ave.,

to Kenosha for Christmas dinner.

She also thought the actor re·

1965.
Sue was about 9 years old when
sh.e decided to do something for the
seemingly-lonely man during "a
boring afternoon at home." She
wrote a letter, explained the re·
semblance that existed - and tried
to bribe him into Kenosha by offer·
ing a home-cooked Christmas meal
"Like a re~taurant, 1f you don't

Thus without Sue's knowledge,

famous singer.
He didn't waste any time in making a response.
He apologized for being unable to
join Sue's family for Christmas, and
explained he was expected to be

BRISTOL - Bids will be let immediately for a Shangrila sewer
project even though weather will
delay the start of construction.
The Bristol Town Board Wednesday passed a resolution exercising
its powers to construct, install, and
operate a sanitary sewer col!ection
system in Utillty District 4.
The district as presently mapped
starts at the Bristol-Salem town line
and extends east along !17th Street
to 2l4th Avenue. Homes in the area
will be served by gravity' sewers
emptying into transmission lines
owned by Salem Utility District 2.
The resolution instructs E.L.
Crispell, town engineer, to draft

final plans for the project and an
estimate of costs.
A schedule of assessments against
each property will also be prepared.
Town Chairman Noel E!ferlng
said a meeting of all affected property owners has been scheduled for 7
p.m, Monday, Jan. 23, at the Bristol
Town HalL
In other action, board members
voted to allow Ul)(payers to postpone
the first real estate tax installment
for one month. Rather than the
normal filing date of Jan. 31, Bristol
taxpayers wm be allowed to postpone payment until Feb. 29.
Town Treasurer Doris Magwitz

BRJSTOL ~· Bids will be let im·
mediately f{)f a Shangrila sewer
project even though weather will
delay the start ol construction.
The Bristol Town Board Wednesday passed a resolution e)(ercising
its powers to construct, !nsta!l, and
operate a sanitary sewer collection
system in Utility District 4.
The district as presently mapped
starts at the Bristol-Salem town line
and extends east along 117th Street
to 214th Avenue. Homes in the area
will be served by gravity sewers
emptying into transmission lines
owned by Salem Utility District 2.
The re~olution instructs E.L.
Cnspell, town engineer, to draft

final plans for the project and an
esHmate ol costs.
A sch>Cdule of assessment~ against
each property will also be prepared.
Town C!iairman Noel E!fering
said a meeting of all affected property owners has been scheduled for 7
p.m. Monday, Jan. 23, at the Bristol
Town Hall.
In other action, board memhers
voted to allow taxpayers to po;;tpone
the first real estate tax installment
for one month. Rather than the
normal filing date of Jan. 31, Bristol
taxpayers will be allowed to postpone payment until Feb. 29.
Town Treasurer Doris Magwitz
was irked by the move and told
board members, "I'm surprised ·to

period in 1982 and S9 cal!s for the

Once the itutial decision to charge
was: made, the community's reac.
tion was pusitive, Horton said
lnlt!aliy, senior citizens feared
that ambulance calls would not be
covered by Medicare
"They have found out that that's
not true," sa1d Horton. "Medicare is
slower to pay than regular insurance
companies becauoe of the red tape,
but eventually they come through."
Out-of-state residents pay willingly, ton, the town supervisor said.
One woman from Chicago came to
the Town Hall to pay her $15() bill for
a highway accident call. She made
ac additional donation of $25 to the
rescue squad
A bt>neftt from the rescue squad

able to save money m a special fund

S'eiber controversy taintsd'Shangrila Lake image
By ARLENE JENSEN
StaU Wr:lter
Chicago real estate developer
Chris Passion had a passion for the
Kenosha County lake with its spark!"
ing, sapphire blue water.
He called it Passion Lake and
began selling lakeside lots decades
ago. Since then, the name has
changed to Shangrila LaKe, a name
that still conjures up images of
utopia.
But more than the name changed.
The Shangri!a community has
changed. Summer cottages were
winterized, the population grew.
Septic systems on 60- by 100-foot lots
that were adequate for seasonal
living no longer met the needs of
year·round familles with showers,
automatic washing machines and
other wastewater-producing conve·
n1~nces.

The failures of septic systems
8
J:$ve taken their toll- m pollutwn
in the deteriorating quality of
lake water

concern about septic systems.
"lf the water that came out the
other end of a septic tank was clear,
ttley assumed the system was OK.

The problem of Shangri!a's sewage disposal is slowly Oeing corrected, but not fast enough for some

residents. A number are discouraged by the wait.
A big step forward was construction of a major sewer project in the

Town of Salem. When the treatment
plant am! sewer lines were planned

several years ago, the design was to
serve the entire lake area.
However, while the western shore
of the laKe rs in Salem, the eastern
shore is part of the Town of Bristol.
Since the area is so close to Salem,
and so far from any ol!ler existing
sewer lim.', it mad~ sense to plan to

At an earlier meeting, said

not done so.
