Wednesday, April 7, 1 982 Th. Posicresnt. Appleton-Neenoh-Menosho, Wis. B-4 Kaukauna elects mayor Village endorses safety building Van De Hey sweeps to win Obertin Continued From Page 1 The referendum could have saved taxpayers between $70,000 and a year, Allen had estimated earlier. Those savings would have included the $50,000 loss from the transfer station and monthly pickup rates that could have been half of the monthly rates residents now pay private haulers.

Two aldermen were elected on write-in votes. Aid. Stu Coufchaine, 46, of 1705 Lawrence chairman of the Finance Committee, was elected on a write-in with 57 votes. He had decided last year not to seek re-election but changed his mind last month and ran a write-in campaign. John Neely, 1725 Oriole an employee of Curwood got 66 votes to win the 4th District seat being vacated by Aid.

Robert Fabich. Candidates who were elected without opposition were: City Atty. Earl Luaders III. 29. elected to a second term with 1.339 votes.

Aid. Linda Lehman. 37, chairwoman of the Park. Recreation and Beautification Committee, elected to a second term as 2nd Dist. alderwo-man with 316 votes.

John Bohl 27, of 409 E. Hancock elected to the 3rd Dist. seat with 151 votes. He replaces Aid. Terry Dorschner, who did not seek a second term.

Ernest Schultz, 66, of 211 W. Spring elected to the 5th Dist. seat with 181 votes. He was appointed to the seat in January, replacing Aid. Irv Vice, who resigned for health reasons.

Incumbent Geiser tops Bass, 1 1 7-52 CHILTON In the one aldermanic race in the city's 2nd Ward, incumbent Marvin Geiser easily beat his opponent Duatie (Happv) Bass, 117-52. A total of 560 votes were cast in the city. "I think the numbers that showed up in the election should tell the council and should tell anybody in city government that the people are supporting my stands," he said. Van De Hey will "review the Wisconsin Avenue lift bridge project," as soon as he takes office. He said he will also wan.t a general accounting, will hold strategy sessions with the department heads and aldermen, will review the bond issue and possibly review the city's accounting procedures.

"Growth is certainly necessary, but it has to be done on a sound and stable basis," Van De Hey said. "That's the No. 1 issue." He also wants to hold a public meeting in May. While there are a few changes in the council's structure due to Tuesday's election, the majority remains unchanged. Van De Hey said he does not anticipate any trouble working with the aldermen.

"Public relations is a big part of the job, and I'm used to dealing with people," Van De Hey said. He is an insurance representative for a large firm, and also runs his own independent insurance agency, but now. Van De Hey said he will have to give that up to devote all his energies to the mayor's job. Van De Hey said his wife, Janet, will resign her job as a secretary to take over the insurance business while he runs the city. Van De Hey also said he will have to resign his position on the school board.

Schaffer, a political science, economics and urban affairs teacher at Kaukauna High School, said he will not run for elective office again. "I believed in what I stood for," Schaffer said. "1 was extremely honest when I could have done otherwise to get votes, and if that's what the people wanted, then I guess I'll stick to what 1 love best teaching." Schaffer said all the election results showed a backlash effect. Aid. James H.

McDaniel (3rd) was defeated, and Aid. Reginald Van De Hey (2nd), narrowly won Tuesday. On the results of the mayoral race, Schaffer said: "People wanted a change, and they bought a lot of glittering generalities." He predicted that while Van De Hey took an ultra-conservative stance oh the bridge rebuilding, the bond issue and the downtown redevelopment plans during the campaign, the programs will go through. "I think they all have to go through. If those programs don't go through, they're just plain stupid," Schaffer said in an interview today.

Van De Hey won easily in all four aldermanic districts. In the 1st District, Van De Hey received 634 to Schaffer's 337. In the 2nd, the results were Van De Hey, 805 to Schaffer's 298. In the 3rd, Van De Hey won by 404 with 758 to Schaffer's 354. And in the 4th Aldermanic District, Van De Hey garnered 805 to 467 for Schaffer.

The 4th District is the home of both candidates. Incumbents win Marion races MARION Despite opposition from three challengers, incumbents won both seats on the Board of Education from the portion of the school district lying in Waupaca County. Rosemary Bazile received 483 votes and Clement Shauger received 472 votes to retain their seats. The votes for the challengers were: Roger Mar-quardt, 425; David Bowers, 261; and Christine Brehm, 198. Incumbent Nancy Mayne received 386 votes.

She ran unopposed from that portion of the district lying in the City of Marion. The vote totals were unofficial because the Town of Larrabee had not yet reported, but the results were not expected to change. BY JIM FLASCH Post-Crescent stoH writer KAUKAUNA Ronald L. Van De Hey, 36, may have been the last candidate to file his papers for the mayor's race last fall, but Tuesday he came in first. Van De Hey, 2005 Thelen a member of the Kaukauna Board of Education, handily beat Aid.

Thomas J. Schaffer (4th) for the Kaukauna mayor's position by a 2-1 margin. Van De Hey won 3,002 votes to chaffer's 1,456. Schaffer, 41, 1804 Parkwood Drive, has been a member of the Common Council for the past four years. Van De Hey has been on the school board since 1972.

"We're just elated," Van De Hey said at a victory party at his home Tuesday night. "We were planning on winning going in." Van De Hey said the campaign was a source of "great personal growth" and obviously appealed to the people. "Our open campaign approach and conservative stance probably affected two-thirds of the people," Van De Hey said. Incumbents apparently win in Waupaca WAUPACA Although figures won't be final until after the official canvass this afternoon, it appears that the three incumbents were reelected to the Waupaca School Board. Total vote for incumbents was Edward J.

Smith, Robert J. Andras'chko, and Thomas Shambeau, 1,161. Challengers Douglas Abrahamson talleyed 1,157, only 4 votes behind Shambeau and Adam Wenckus, 744.

with the regular meeting to start at 8 p.m. Froehlich Continued From Page 1 helped and I had the support of the legal community and that helped." He said he felt his seven months on the bench has set the tone on how he plans to approach his full term which starts in August. He said he saw "case management" as a growing factor in being a judge. "A judge must take control of the cases and dispose of them," he said. He said he was interested in getting decisions out as soon as possible after a trial in cases where the decision can't be rendered from the bench.

"I think this whole challenging field of administration is an impor-tant part of improving the judiciary," he said, along with the challenges of juvenile law. Froehlich had served five terms in the Assembly, including two as speaker before being elected to Congress. He served one term and was then defeated by the Rev. Robert Cornell. After returning to private law practice, he was appointed to the part-time position of Family Court Commissioner and served for more than a year before devoting full-time to his private practice.

Mares had been in the insurance and real estate business and was on the County Board when he made the decision to attend law school. Since then he has combined his insurance and law practice, while serving in the part-time Family Court Commissioner position. He also had served as a public defender for the county before that position became full-time. Siewert Continued From Page 1 Zabel, who served as chairman of the Board of Public Works, vas seeking a third term. In the 1st Aldermanic District, Allen Mahnke beat Craig Akey, 222-151.

Mahnke replaces Leon Steen-bock, who did not seek re-election. John Zellmer defeated Elmer Lueck by a 138-78 margin to capture the 2nd Aldermanic District seat. Robert Kitzman also did not seek reelection. In the 5th Aldermanic District, Burr Tolles edged challenger Douglas Carrick, 168-153. Tolles, who was appointed to the post in December, will serve a 1-year term.

Unopposed candidate Steven Eckels received support from 207 voters in the 3rd Aldermanic District. Incumbent Charles Middleton did not run. City Clerk Nancy Harris, who also ran unopposed, garnered 1,386 votes. Schommer takes Waupaca mayor post by 34 votes Continued From Page 1 He will serve in the 2nd Ward with Aid. Suzanne J.

Cicero Continued From Page 1 had trouble getting their milk to market," another added. The taxpayers at the meeting approved pay raises for their officials, but typically, there were qualifications. The Wisconsin Towns Association recommendation for town chairman, for example is $1,635 a year. "We figure that's a little more than we can do," Chairman Moeller said. The salary recommended by the board and approved unanimously by the voters was $1,400.

Town supervisors will get $950, Treasurer $1,500, and clerk $2,750. All except the clerk's pay are below those recommended levels. In less than an hour, all of the year's business had been transacted. Everyone went back to his chores. Atari is on sale.

Make your TV a whole new ball game. Or car race. Or shootout. Or space war. BY ED VAN BERKEL Post-Crescent staff writer LITTLE CHUTE Village voters ave strong support to the construc- rton of a new $700,000 safety building to house the police and fire departments, approving the plan, 731 to 445.

i Village President Donald DeGroot ftas pleased with the outcome saying, V-A new safety building was long oVerdue and we plan on getting started on the building as soon as we said the Village Board will likely bring the issue up at its next meeting and will approve plans to meet with village engineers to draw up plans and specifications for bidding. Although no architect has been hired, an architectural firm had been 6ired as a consultant and drew preliminary plans for a facility, DeGroot could not say whether that firm would be hired to prepare final design for the structure, a decision for the Village Board. "We would like to get' started on this as soon as possible and hopefully Start construction this year, possibly even before fall," said DeGroot. The Village Board listed a new police station as the community's No. 1 priority five years ago and police have been fighting for a new facility for more than 10 years.

''The present police station is in the basement of the Village Hall and is practically inaccessible to the elderly or handicapped. Firemen too have long complained that their present (ire station, built in 1939, as being too iall for the trucks and equipment i. ed over the years as the commu-fi. grew. i', i new facility is to be built on village-owned property off Monroe Street where presently a village garage is located." Preliminary plans called for a 118 by 136-foot structure.

It was estimated that the $700,000 iacility would represent a $1.81 per 1,000 of assessed valuation increase jn the tax rate to finance. It would include a garage area for Storage of police vehicles which presently are kept outside in all types of veather and be designed to permit development of a dormitory for fire fighters if the village eventually went lo a paid rather than volunteer fire department. i It was brought out at informational jneetings that moving the police and fire departments could also result in Remodeling the existing village hall whereby other village offices could be moved to the ground floor from (heir second floor location thus making them more accessible to the public. Police Chief Robert Nechodom was elated by the voters decision. "We have had to work under very adverse Conditions for many years and the morale of the men bent but did not j)reak," said the chief, i "Their morale' went up 100 this morning and the new quarters are Something I've been waiting for for 32 years," he said, jJaycees, Jaycettes jelect regional directors MARION A new board of directors was elected for the Region No.
