Walking pneumonia thought to be gone Walking pneumonia apparently has run its course. Rikki Krautkramer of the Green Bay Health Department said it appears there are few new cases of mycoplasma pneumonia. Several cases were reported in late tall and early winter. "It's not one of those diseases that must be reported to us, so we don't have numbers. But in talking with area I physicians it would be our department's perception that it has fallen off," Krautkramer said.

Walking pneumonia is caused by a bacteria that acts like a virus and strikes children and young adults.

A municipality may be able to require physical examinations as a condition of employment but those tests cannot publicly identify someone with an AIDS infection, Vergeront said. AIDS acquired immuno-deficiency syndrome can be transmitted through semen or vaginal secretions during sexual intercourse and through blood, such as when drug users share hypodermic needles. Doctors believe it never has been 250 upset citizens turnout at hearing By Kathleen McGlllis Press-Gazette EATON People in and around Green Bay who create most of Brown County's garbage should dump it in their own backyards, some upset rural residents said Wednesday night. About 250 people filled Eddie Whipp's Tavern, 5073 Highway 29, Wednesday to find out what they could do to stop a landfill on the Ardeal Osterloh farm at Wisconsin 29 and County P. Brown County recently identified four sites all rural property to be tested as potential county landfills.

"We're sick and tired of taking Green Bay's garbage," said Brown County Board member Alice Daul, a town of De Pere resident who represents areas that have three of four possible county landfill sites. Eaton, six miles southeast of Green Bay, has about 1,100 residents. The metro Green Bay population is about 154,000. "I feel we should all fight this together," Daul said. "With the life of the average landfill at eight years, 12 landfills could surround Green Bay in 100 years." "If it's so safe, why don't they put it in Green Bay?" asked Mark DeBaker of Eaton.

He said county staff and landfill consultants with Robert E. Lee and Associates called him Wednesday, asking him to "back off' the issue because soil testing results expected in coming weeks could rule out the site. "Now is the time to get excited," De-Baker said. "If it seems like we are, damn right we are." A petition signed by several hundred people opposing a landfill anywhere in the town will be sent to county officials.

Municipal Clerk Marvin Bahr said the idea was suggested by Village Board Mem ber Marvin Hanson as a way of protecting tavern customers from catching the AIDS virus from infected employees. But Hanson said this morning he never suggested anything of the kind. James Vergeront, AIDS coordinator of the state Department of Health and Social Services in Madison, said the proposal per Parking patrol: Officer Mike Ko-moroske talks Wednesday with a Parking near Preble High remains at a premium By Gary Dodge Press-Gazette Parking space continues to be a hot-ticket item near Preble High School. ftropn Rflv nnlinp notrrttlor) tha proa Wednesday, watching for violations.

Chuck Konowalski said. "We work as best as we can, on it." He said he didn't know how many tickets had been issued near the school, which has 1,443 students. About 200 parking spaces are on school grounds. The Green Bay School District has no immediate plans to address student parking, said Daniel Van De Water, an assistant superintendent. The School Board discussed student parking in 1989 after area residents complained about it.

Most neighborhood streets have two-hour limits or require residential permits. The fine for overtime parking is $3 every two hours. Parking illegally in a permit area is $8. 1 1 Trial testimony disputes nature of Zolper wounds Not defense wounds, doctor tells Palamo jury sion," said Green Bay lawyer Eric Steam, whom the town hired. He said residents should work with the county to demonstrate why the Osterloh farm would make a poor landfill site.

Reasons include its proximity to Kewaunee County, the presence of wetlands and the establishment of watershed projects in the area, Steam said. "I think the facts are with us," he said. Other speakers said they want recycling programs to lessen the amount of waste. AIDS test petuated myths about how the virus is spread. State law forbids testing for AIDS as a condition of employment, he added.

The proposal "clearly is misguided policy and a potentially damaging type of direction," he said. Hanson said he agreed. "Where Marvin came up with this deal on AIDS I have no idea," said Hanson, a former bartender. Hanson said Gresham was considering physicals for bartenders and he suggested testing for hepatitis as part of the physical.

Some said they had after-school jobs. Four girls who -ride together from the New Franken and bayshore area said they can sleep longer and listen to music on the way to school if they come by car. "All the little kids are on the bus," said Jenny Hansen, 15, 3520 Hemlock Road, New Franken. "It's bad.

Sometimes you get to school and there's no parking," said Joe Her-lache, 17, 3G96 Algoma Road, New Franken. "I think we should have another parking lot behind the school." "It's just a tremendous advantage to have this many people interested this early in the process," Steam said. "The political pressure is the big thing we can do." He advised residents to write letters to Brown County Solid Waste Board officials, county staff and state offices. The Solid Waste Board on Jan. 28 will get the results of test conducted on three soil borings from the 315-acre Osterloh farm.

The site could be ruled out as a result. spread through casual contact with other body fluids, such as saliva or sweat. The virus attacks the body's immune system, leaving victims susceptible to a wide variety of infections and cancers. Bahr said he knew of no cases in Shawano County where a communicable disease was passed from a bartender to another person. But he said Gresham, with about 550 residents, should take precautions.

"We should think of a two-year license, along with a physical, because of AIDS," Bahr said. Zolper was swinging a tire jack at him. District Attorney John Zakowski says Palamo used too much force in the incident. Zakowski tried to show Wednesday that Zolper may have been running from Palamo at one point. But Chuprevich said the position of one wound indicates Zolper probably was turned sideways when he was stabbed, as he would have been after swinging a weapon.

"Defense wound means the victim is trying to protect himself from whatever is occuring," Chuprevich said. "By being in the chest these are not defense wounds." Frederico Villarreal, the man who translated Palamo's statement to police, recounted Palamo's version of the second fight. Palamo said he went to the kitchen and grabbed a boning knife when he heard a ruckus, Villarreal testified. Palamo encountered Zolper halfway down the back stairway. "He said he had his knife in his left hand and the guy swung at him and he stabbed him in the upper body," Villarreal said.

The two proposed technical revisions: new criteria to regulate total PCBs; and monitoring for the most toxic types of PCBs, known as congeners, that resemble their chemical cousins, the dioxins. "We approve of them closing this loophole," said Rebecca Leighton of the Lake Michigan Federation. "It seems like an improvement." John Sullivan, DNR toxic chemical specialist, said the rule revision may have been prompted by the EPA, but the DNR has supported the concept for years and believes sufficient scientific information exists to justify that stand. "Fort Howard Corporation supports the total PCB criteria revision but opposes the establishment of PCB congener-specific criteria at this time," spokesman Cliff Bowers said. "There simply isn't sufficient scientific basis for regulating in this manner." By Lisa Sumter Press-Gazette Stab wounds suffered by Gregory Scott Zolper the night he died were not those of a man trying to defend himself, a Green Bay pathologist said Wednesday during the Noel Palamo murder trial.

Dr. Thomas Chuprevich said Zolper died July 8 of a stab wound to the heart. Chuprevich said he also found two non-fatal stab wounds on Zolper's body. Palamo, 20, formerly of 100 S. Baird is charged with second-degree intentional homicide.

Prosecutors say he stabbed Zolper during a fight over the alleged sexual assault of a girl, 15. Bruises on Zolper's face were less than 10 hours old, Chuprevich said. Witnesses testified they saw Palamo beating Zolper with a bent pipe the first time Zolper went to the Baird Street apartment building. Witnesses said Zolper and eight other people returned to Palamo 's apartment house later that night and fought with residents there. Palamo's lawyer, James Sickel of Green Bay, contends Palamo was defending himself against an attack by Zolper when the stabbing occurred.

The state Department of Natural Resources will sponsor a hearing at 4 p.m. Monday at Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary on proposed revisions regarding PCB discharges to rivers and lakes.

The revisions were mandated two years ago when the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service protested that Wisconsin rules were insufficient. PCBs polychlorinated biphenyls are a family of chemicals, many of which are extremely toxic. The DNR said the changes would apply to Fort Howard Corp.
