Shebovoon Press, Monday, March 14, 1977 Farmer Convicted Had No Water; 37 Animals Die Area Legislators Won't Support Ban On Throwaway Containers 35 Hours Of Basketball; $2,640 To Fight Cancer Students and alumni of the University of Wis-consin-Sheboygan campus more than doubled their goal In a weekend basketball marathon for the Sheboygan County Cancer Crusade. A total of $2,640.88 in pledges were received during the 35-hour basketball game which saw about 50 students and alumni playing In seven, 5-hour blocks. The students had set a goal of $1,000. Bringing in the most money in pledges was John Jawson with $282.23. Three persons brought in more than $100 each.

They were Mary Ahrens, Janet Fisher and Gary Lacy. All will receive trophies. UW-S athletic director and basketabll coach Jack Snyder commented after the game, "I think it's a real tribute to our campus to raise this money for the cancer crusade. Many students who were unable to play in the game still helped by sponsoring players." Snyder, who is chairman of the special events section of the Cancer Crusade, was recently named to the American Cancer Society board of directors. Players were furnished food and beverages, donated by businessmen in the communiuty, during the marathon.

The final score, after 35-hours of continuous play was Skins 2,776, Three local state legislators told the Sheboygan Area Chamber of Commerce's legislative committee Monday morning that they will not support current legislation which would outlaw non-returnable containers in Wisconsin, State Sen. Ernest Keppler (R-Sheboygan), and Reps. Calvin Potter (D-Kohler) and Carl Otte (D-Sheboygan) met with the Chamber committee during a breakfast meeting, and Potter outlined some of the problems with the bill before the Assembly. "This bill and the others in past years would really not solve the problem," the Koh-ler Democrat said. "I think we have to recycle, both for saving of resources and energy.

One solution would be looking at some type of municipal recycling system, but the bill in its present form is not the way to go." Economic Interests Otte added that he would not support the measure, and Keppler claimed "economic interests," namely the brewery and can-producing industries, as his reason for opposing the present bill. One of the members of the committee, which meets regularly to study various legislative measures, asked what the three lawmakers thought of Gov. Patrick Lucey adding A 22-year-old farmer who said he nailed the barn door shut so he wouldn't have to look at his animals dying of thirst, pleaded guilty today in County Court Branch 2 to animal cruelty charges. Karl W. Fasse, of R.

1 Sheboygan Falls, who said he wasn't able to water his stock after the water pipes had burst during the December cold spell, was found guilty of failure to provide animals with water and cruelty to animals, misdemeanor charges carrying the maximum penalty of a 1-year jail ierm andor a $500 fine. A pre-sentence investigation was ordered for the young farmer, at whose farm, on March 7, Sheboygan County Humane Officer Michael P. McQuire counted 27 dead cows, three dead calves and seven dead pigs after a private citizen filed a complaint with the Humane Society. McQuire said the cows' bodies, found in their stanchions, were covered with fecal matter which had accu-mulated to a height of 21 inches on the barn floor. The dead pigs were found in a chicken coop; the calves, in a hay loft.

Fasse, according to the complaint, "made no effort to contact authorities, or a veterinarian or anyone to assist in alleviating the conditions of the livestock." He told authorities he'd only recently gone into farming on his own, after having farmed his mother's farm since 1975. County Judge John G. Buchen adjourned the cased until March 28 for sentencing. policy decisions into the budget bill each biennium to help passage of those policy changes. The three agreed that the governor has the legal right to put those policy changes into the budget bill, but Keppler questioned the move "philisophically." Policy In The Budget "As a legislator, I would like the opportunity to argue, amend and vote on each policy change on its own merits," Keppler said.

"It seems the governor is putting more and more policy into the budget. I would like to see parts of that budget, say the university and transportation budgets, separated so that we can approve or deny each one at a time." One policy change included in this year's budget bill, certificate of need, would require Annual Report Conservation: Key To Energy Costs Involved In Holdup; Youth, 17 Pleads Guilty WWJR -FM Begins Broadcasting Today A 17-year-old Sheboygan youth charged as party to the crime of armed robbery at a northwest side service station on Nov. 11, pleaded guilty today in County Court Branch 2.

Underkofler told the shareowners that the lack of government action to develop comprehensive energy policies has led to "incredibly long, tedious approval procedures resulting in reduced capability for meeting energy demands." The utility executive said coal, uranium and natural gas are the primary energy resources for the remainder of this century. For the future, he said research and development must be stepped up to perfect new technology such as solar energy, the breeder reactor, fusion power and other options. "This challenge cannot be met by the private sector alone, because the task has become so massive and the timetable so short," Underkofler concluded.

Woman, 21, Hurt In Crash A 21-year-old Sheboygan Falls woman was treated at St. Nicholas Hospital following a one-car crash early today at the intersection of Highway 32 and County Highway O. Treated for bumps, bruises and a mild concussion was Sharon H. Hildebrand, of 603 Wilson a passenger In a car driven by Doris L. Ziemke, 21, of 324 Main St.

Underkofler told the shar-. eowners that has weathered some very serious times by anticipating and dealing with such difficulties as: meeting construction schedules for critical new facilities, obtaining long-term contracts for resources to fuel new plants, ending expansion of the natural gas system to protect existing customers and maintaining financial stability during a long recessionary period." He pointed out that has "set forth publicly a reasonable, long-range program for the development of energy supplies that can assure our customers and service area of energy sufficiency over the coming decades. It is a program backed by extensive research and detailed corporate planning," Underkofler said. "In this regard, however, you have to keep in mind that the key will be sensible and timely government action," he told shareowners.

Break-In Near Adell Investigated Sheboygan County sheriff's detectives are investigating a break-in at a rural Adell residence from which a television set and a container of pennies were stolen over the weekend. The burglary was reported Sunday by Art Fredricks, whose residence is along County Highway A about four miles west of Adell. Detectives said the theives kicked in a door, gainig entry. Ransacking the home, the items were stolen from the kitchen and living. Underkofler said energy conservation "is a key factor in our energy planning" and noted that historic increases in energy requirements of 8 or 9 annually could drop to 4 to 6 through the rest of the century.

He explained, however, that the company will continue its programs to improve customer conservation. He said the threat of energy shortages will continue and that energy costs will escalate. "The greatest potential for easing energy demand involves the price factor," Underkofler stressed. "When prices reflect the true cost of service, conservation is placed in a realistic economic Boy Nabbed For Snatching Purse With $1 A 14-year-old Sheboygan boy has confessed to a purse snatching incident that occurred on Plaza 8 a week ago. The youth, questioned by police in connection with other investigations into boat vandalism and car thefts that have been occurring in the city within the past several days, admitted that he snatched the purse from an elderly lady in the 500 block of Plaza 8, but said he threw the purse into the river.

Police said the youth was released to his parents, and that the case would be brought before the juvenile court judge. hospitals and nursing homes to prove the need for new equipment or expanding the facility before the equipment is purchased or construction begun. "I think something is going 'to have to be passed in that area, because we are one of three states which have not yet done so," Potter said, adding that a federal law passed in 1974 dictates that states adopt some form of certification.

During the lV-hour meeting the group also questioned the legislators on public employes strike rights, which Otte said he opposed; tax incentives for business and industry, and decision-making problems some local businessmen were having with the Department of Industry, Labor and Human Relations. months, hits of the 1970s and songs from the late '60s," he reported, noting that the station's new format will also include two three-minute newscasts each hour until noon, with one per hour until 6 p.m. WHBL-FM had been on the air since 1972, operating with a power of 3,000 watts at 97.7 on the FM dial, and was granted a call letter change by the Federal Communications Commission last month.

Les Aspin (D-Wis.) said today. Aspin released statistics from the U.S. Department of Labor which show that during the last half of 1976 Illinois, Iowa, Michigan and Minnesota all fell short of the Department of Labor guidelines for paying out-of-state residents.

Wisconsin Pays On Time "But Wisconsin was paying Illinoisans, Iowans, Michigan-ders and Minnesotans on time," Aspin said. The congressman said the Labor Department requires states to pay at least 60 of the unemployment compensation claims filed by out-of-state residents within 14 days after the week in which the claim is first filed. "For the last six months of 1976, Illinois paid 10 of these claims on time, Iowa Soup or Salad, Roll and Butter MONDAY THRU SATURDAY Orderly energy expansion, intensified conservation and realistic pricing policies will help give Wisconsin the energy needed for jobs and economic growth through the remainder of this century, according to Wisconsin Power and Light Company's 1976 Annual Report.

Underkofler, said there are Democrat revealed that Wisconsin is being forced to pay thousands of dollars a month in welfare payments to Wisconsinites waiting for late unemployment checks from Illinois. Aspin said, "Now that I have seen these statistics, from the other states, I realize that Wisconsin is paying even more than I first imagined." Aspin said the other states should look to Wisconsin's program as an example of how an unemployment compensation program ought to be run. VI am proud of Wisconsin's performance, as revealed by these statistics. And I am more disturbed than ever with the shabby way Wisconsinites are treated by neighboring states," Aspin said. St.

Asks Funding Cut Aspin, who has asked that federal funds for Illinois' program be cut off because of the state's poor performance record, said these statistics indicate that "Illinois is just the worst of a bad group." Aspin said he checked on the performance of the other states surrounding Wisconsin after some Labor Department officials claimed it was Illinois' large population which alone caused that state to miss the federal goals. "The statistics show that population is not the all-important factor," Aspin said. He pointed out that both Minnesota and Iowa have smaller populations than Wisconsin, but much worse performances ratings than Wisconsin.
