Green Bay Press-Gazette Tuesday, June 24, 2003 B-5 City down on shared pipeline Schmitt says plan won't work from an engineering standpoint BY PETER REBHAHN Green Bay is not interested in a drinking water partnership in which its suburbs would share the city's new Lake Michigan pipeline but not buy water from the city. "Our engineers just don't see that working, and I'm not going to spend a lot of time working on something that, from an engineering standpoint, isn't going to Green Bay Mayor Jim Schmitt said Monday. Under the so-called "shared facilities" option, the city and suburbs would team to build the second pipeline the city plans to build in 2004 anyway with or without the suburbs' involvement. The preferred option of both city and suburbs is a different What's next The Central Brown County Water Authority will meet at 3 p.m. Wednesday in the Ashwaubenon Village Hall, 2155 Holmgren Way, to review discussions with the city of Green Bay about drinking-water options.

plan that would make the suburbs customers of the city's water utility, but that plan requires local approval of aquifer storage and recovery, which may never come. Aquifer storage and recovery is a water storage technique in which treated drinking water is piped into wells converted from water pumping to storage. The shared facilities option proposed by the suburbs would be a fallback option to the preferred plan that would leave the suburbs independent of the city's water The suburbs, which operate as the Central Brown County Water Authority, are Allouez, Ashwaubenon, Bellevue, De Pere, Hobart, Howard, Lawrence, Ledgeview and Scott. Water authority President Len Teresinski expressed disappointment at Schmitt's statement. "That's their problem," Teresinski said.

"Why would they turn down $11 million in savings?" The suburbs estimate their share of the cost of Green Bay's second pipeline in a shared arrangement at $17.46 million 48.5 percent of the $36 million total. The suburbs' $17.46 million share would save the city $11.46 million over going it alone because the proposed 54-inch Football practice Kurt Vanden Heuvel trains for football season Monday at St. Philip Park.

Trial in sword attack delayed BY ANDY NELESEN A man accused of hacking off another man's thumb with a 3- foot sword had his trial postponed Monday. Darryl K. Green, 35, was scheduled for trial today, but that proceeding was canceled and rescheduled because of Green's request for a new lawyer. Green had asked in writing to have a new lawyer appointed but later changed his mind.

The court ordered that his lawyer, Timothy Blank, continue with the case. Because of the uncertainty behind Green's request, witnesses were not available for the proceedings scheduled for today, Green's trial will be calendared in the coming months. He is accused of mayhem and aggravated battery for the Oct. 19 altercation. According to the criminal complaint, Green was at a westside Green Bay home when the woman who lived there arrived.

She enlisted the help of Michael Vieaux to get Green out of her house. During a heated discussion about whether Green was going to leave, Green picked up a 3- foot sword and swiped at Vieaux, who raised his arm in defense, the complaint said. The blow sliced off Vieaux's right thumb at the base and lacerated his arm to the bone. The thumb has since been re-attached.
