December 30, 1981 2-Herald-Times-Repofter, Manitowoc-Two Riven, Wis, Council, Plan Commission uient ite are toured Area develop mm View of the small boat harbor area in Manitowoc through the window of a Manitowoc Transit Bus. By MARGE MILEY Managing Editor MANITOWOC A capsule tour of what is happening in Manitowoc, what could happen and what may not happen was conducted Tuesday afternoon by Tom Greenwood, city planner, for members of the Common Council and the Plan Commission. Mayor Anthony Dufek, along with Michael Hawley, city engineer, and Calvin Stein, director of the Department of Building Inspection for the city, provided additional information and also answered questions. First stop was on the Jay Street side of Busch Agricultural Resources Inc. The city planner said Busch is conducting preliminary engineering studies for building on the present city parking lot site between Jay and Franklin Streets, with an overhead walkway con-necting it to the present Busch complex.

Also still in the talking stage is a swap of the 200-meter parking lot for Busch's Manitowoc River frontage land which extends to the east end of the Maritime Museum. Greenwood indicated that Busch will be discussing the Manitowoc project at a board of directors meeting in St. Louis sometime during the first six months of 1982. "They will be talking about a $20 million project," Greenwood said. The proposed Holiday Inn complex at the lakefront, between the YMCA and the Manitowoc River was pointed out next by Greewood and the mayor.

They traced the proposed diagonal street which would extend from Commercial Street, through the area of the frame buildings of the Smalley Manufacturing across York Street, and cutting across the southeast corner of the site where apartments are now under construction. The proposed street would link up North Lake Street at the YMCA. Dufek said the city owns 60 percent of the land in- volved in the proposal, and a meeting was scheduled today with the four businesses in the area of the proposed complex, Smalley, Hamann Construction, Zinkel Enterprises and McMullen and Pitz Construction Co. The developer needs a commitment by the end of March, Greenwood said, stressing that "March 31 is the key date." Construction of a small boat harbor on Lake Michigan's shoreline north of the harbor breakwater will start in spring, Greenwood said at the next stop on the tour; He added that construction will extend over a two-year period. A bulkhead, 500 feet from the shoreline, and parallel to the shoreline will be built and the area will provide slips for 300 boats.

Reserve land jn the filled-in area could provide space for leasing to a boat sales and Service facility, Greenwood added. He said it is hoped the river channel dredging between the bridges in front of Burger Boat Co. Inc. can be coordinated with the building of the bulkhead so the dredge materials can be dumped there. Lemberger site DNR takes issue with statement need of replacement.

The mayor said meetings will be held in January to discuss alternate locations for the Rapids bridge. These include winding up on Conroe Street; or coming off Meadow Lane extended and ending up on Archer Street. The tour stopped at the 40-year-old Custerdale apartment complex owned by the city. Stein said these were temporary dwellings when they were built during World War II, and "are still temporary units." They need new roofs, he said, and there are problems with utilities. The units have space heaters and no foundations.

If phased out over a period of years, the tenants would have to be provided with relocation housing, Greenwood said. There are 56 units in the cluster of buildings, and all are occupied. The ,4.5 acre site where the apartment buildings are located would support 80 new units, Stein said. The group took a look at the 10-acre site at Highway 141 and Expo Road, where motel complex developments were proposed in 1975 and again in 1978. The tour ended with a look at the location of the proposed hotel project on the southeast quadrant of the intersection of 1-43 and Highway 151 west of the city.

Pictures and details of this project are on page 1 of tonight's edition. The Wooaridge Estates, north of the city, and east of County Trunk which have figured in annexation deliberations with the city eight times, were toured by the group. Greenwood said the road work in the site was done before discussions for annexation with the city, It was explained by Hawley, that if the area is annexed, the water main would come off East Albert Drive, but the sewer service would take a different route involving easements through the golf course and the Muth property. Several scattered tax delinquent parcels of land, or "out-lots," too small for construction, and (poking like part of adjacent property owners lawns were pointed out by Greenwood. A larger parcel, parallel to Citizen Park and Evergreen Cemetery, would be large enough for a single family dwelling or a duplex, Greenwood said.

Another stop on the tour was the riverfront area off Spring Street, (Medusa Cement Co), where the proposed area of dredging for Burger Boat was pointed Greenwood said Burger has had trouble when launching boats because of the shallowness of the river at that point. Bridges included on the tour were the 21st Street bridge where a second two-lane or a new four-lane bridge has been proposed; and the old, narrow Weinhagen Bridge at Manitowoc Rapids, which is in News in Brief Bid rigging probed WASHINGTON (AP) After two years of investigations and trials in 13 states, the Justice Department sees no end in sight to the trail of corruption among some of the nation's highway contractors as it pursues cases in six additional states. Contractors have been indicted thus far for conspiring to rig bids on paving projects in Tennessee, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, Kansas, Texas, Louisiana, Kentucky, Arkansas, Florida, and Nebraska. Department officials would not identify the six other states where grand juries are considering indictments and held out the possibility that contractors under pressure to testify will yield tips that will take the inquiry into still more states. "I have seen no evidence that highway contractors have cleaned up their act" since the investigation began, said Joseph Widmar, the department official who supervises the 25 to 30 lawyers now working on the project.

So far, the Justice Department has indicted 102 paving corporations and 132 individuals, according to a count compiled Tuesday. Most of those accused have pleaded guilty rather than face trial. Of those who opted for jury trials, only one corporation and three individuals have been acquitted. The number of convictions or pleas of nolo contendere (no contest) stands at 71 for corporations and 101 for individuals, with the rest of the cases pending. Battery charge faced MOLE LAKE, Wis.

(AP) A Crandon area woman accused of assaulting the acting chairman ofthe Sokaogan Chippewa Tribal Council was scheduled to appear in Circuit Court today to face a battery charge. The charge against Beverly Amundson stems from an incident between protesters at the tribal center and council supporters. Amundson was being held on $5,000 bail in connection with injuries suffered by acting tribal chairman Victoria Ackley A spokeswoman for the protesters, Mildred McGeshick, said the group wanted a larger voice in the operation of tribal affairs. The group has been occupying the tribal center since last Wednesday to protest the impeachment of tribal chairman Raymond McGeshick. McGeshick, who is Ms.

McGeshick's brother, was charged with mismanagement. Ms. McGeshick said Tuesday the impeachment remains an issue for the approximately 20 protesters, but the rights of the people to have a major voice in government was a also major issue. "The council should be doing what the people say," she said. The Forest County Sheriff's Department said it was watching the situation but was not going on the reservation.

Crucial planning delayed WASHINGTON (AP) The government's chief nuclear power official says some utilities are delaying crucial planning on what type power plants to biiild because of uncertainty over future electrical demand. "The difficulty is that in some cases utilities are not planning at all," Nunzio J. Palladino, chairman of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, said in an -interview Tuesday. Palladino also said some utilities are failing to train operators for atomic plants already under construction, and he pictured some segments of the nuclear power industry as resistant to the standardization he believes could be a solution to the industry's troubles. He said the utilities have to "get out of this concept that every plant has to be tailormade" in which the escalations in costs and construction times have made investors nervous about putting money into nuclear plants.

Recommendation denied WASHINGTON (AP) Reports that a panel of U.S. defense experts recommended "forward basing" of a new type of nerve gas shell in Great Britain are inaccurate, says an Army research and development official who served on the panel. Amoretta M. Hoeber, who was a member of a Defense Science Board task force in 1980, said Tuesday night, that the group did conclude that degree" of basing new nerve gas shells outside the United States might be desirable. But she denied reports in Britain that the panel recommended they be stored in that country.

Weather pattern changing By The Associated Press With Wisconsin's rapidly changing weather, it's still to early tell what traveling conditions will be like on New Year's Eve. But the National Weather Service is hazarding an early holiday forecast which includes rain and freezing drizzle for the southern section of Wisconsin. The weather service, however, has a more immediate concern in the form of a winter storm watch posted for the northwest half of the state tonight. Forecasters said a rapidly developing low pressure system was moving toward Wisconsin from the Central Plains and may bring heavy snows to the northwest and lesser amounts to the southeast. Southerly winds will warm temperatures from the teens into the 20s in most parts of Wisconsin tonight, but northwest winds from Canada should push the mercury back down Thursday af ternoon.

For New Year's Eve, the weather service said there might be flurries throughout the state and a few squalls in the Superior snow belt. Tricky driving conditions might show up in the south, where rain and freezing drizzle were forecast. Owner offers reward TWO RIVERS Mark Hallada of 2350-44th has offered a $100 reward for information leading to the arrest of the person or persons involved with the shooting of his dog, Tana, in the leg Christmas morning. The dog, a pure bred golden retriever, apparently got loose from the Hallada residence prior to being shot, and was returned by a paperboy, according to the report Hallada gave to Two Rivers police about 9 a.m. Christmas morning.

The dog, who was operated on Monday, was shot with a b-b or pellet gun, according to the police report. Museum hours announced MANITOWOC The Manitowoc Maritime Museum will be open Thursday but closed on New Year's Day. The museum then will re-open for the remainder of the weekend. The submarine Cobia will not be open for tours. 2 CuU) cJt site is covered with two feet of sandy, clay-type soil, with limited compaction.

He said, however, that during recent independent visits to the site, he and another observer had noted many areas with sandy surface soils. Furthermore, Kraft wrote, paint sludges, aluminum dust, and other wastes were observed on the landfill's surface. "Bven a portion of a barrel containing waste material was found in the plowed field, presumably brought up by the plow," Kraft's communication continued. "In light of the conflicting reports and observations of the cover material, we feel it is critical to document the compaction, permeability and depth of the cover," Kraft wrote. Kraft said the DNR presently is preparing an order and that the Lemberger firm will have an opportunity to review a proposed order prior to receiving a consent order.

A group of residents in the Town of Franklin (the Lemberger landfill operations are located northwest of Whitelaw in the township), has been calling attention to pollution problems from these operations. This group, called the Franklin Property. Owners Association, is especially concerned over pollution of intermittent streams, citing that the Lemberger site is described in a Warzyn Engineering Inc. report as a regional recharge area where groundwater is moving downward toward private wells, possibly in every direction. Warzyn Engineering, a consulting engineer firm of Madison, has been retained by Maititowoc County in its queest for feasible landfill property in the county.

The ship is one of a few still Divorces granted MANITOWOC A Department of Natural Resources hazardous waste specialist has taken issue with a Lemberger Transport Recycling Inc.

contention that this firm's old toxic and hazardous waste site was operated ii accordance with the DNR license issued when that site was opened. George J. Kraft, hazardous waste specialist in the DNR's Lake Michigan District Headquarters, Green Bay, said in a communication addressed to Kenneth Lemberger Dec. 15, that "department communications dated Jan. 13, 1970; Jan.

15, 1970, and Dec. 28, 1971, stated that no waste was to be buried within 1,000 feet of an occupied dwelling or 10 feet of groundwater or bedrock. "From the work that has been performed to date, it is clear that waste was buried too close to both groundwater and bedrock," Kraft continued. He said that under such situations, the DNR has authority to issue an order and that apart from this, regulations require sites to be maintained after closure and authorizes the department to require monitoring and other provisions to protect the environment from potential detrimental effects from any landfill. This is similar to a regulation that was in existence at the time the site was operated, Kraft wrote, also citing that "in addition, the law of public nuisance may be applied in appropriate circumstances." Kraft's letter noted that a communication on behalf of the Lemberger firm concluded the Daily log Two Rivers Police Department Theft Kevin Gerard Voelker, 611 Washington Mishicot, reported Tuesday that he had three hubcaps taken off his vehicle while it was parked in the 1800 block of 12th Nov.
