Peter Flex said he didn't want the sagging walls to endanger a nearby home or pose a risk to curious neighborhood children. Fire department reports said the building as insured for $110,000.

Flex said he was told by demolition workers that it would cost about $34,000 to raze the structure. Future plans for the site haven't been determined, Flex said. Sokol Hall operated in the building from 1892 until 1976, when it was acquired by Peterj and Roberta Flex and another couple, Robert; and Debra Brown. They named their business Fle'-Bro Hall and offered public hall rentals, catering and bar facilities. When it was controlled by Sokol Racine, the hall was home to gymnastics exhibitions.

Karel Jonas, the prominent Bohemian-American who became Wisconsin's lieutenant governor, spoke at the dedication of Sokol Hall. i Racine still has a Sokol organization, which celebrated it's 100th anniversary in 1992.

Firefighters continually doused Monroe's home with water as they attempted to stop the flames at the tavern and hall building. "They had a couple of hose teams out back and one of their trucks out front, soaking the house down," Monroe said.

"They did a great job. It could have been much worse." Fire investigators remained at the fire scene until the early afternoon, but a specific cause hasn't been determined. Firefighters believe the fire was accidental. Jimenez told police he had no reason to suspect wrongdoing. Demolition workers from Sam Azarian Wrecking Co.

They acquired a church building for their new organization in 1892, added a brick school building to the south in 1928 and maintained a busy schedule of gymnastic, or turning, routines that led some to call the building Bohemian Turner Hall. Nearly all physical evidence of the once-vibrant organization collapsed in a pile of charred timbers and ash from the fast-spreading fire. It was reported minutes before 1 a.m. Monday, when patrons from a nearby tavern saw smoke billowing from the hall.

It was burning above the basement tavern of Rick's Party House, which still was open for business. Racine police said quick action by two men, Brett L. Roy and Michael P. Martinez, prevented the fire from causing injuries. Roy and Martinez went into the tavern and CABLE TV package unveiled city.

That $50 million, Agostini said, would cover the $50 million the Brewers have been seeking as part of its $90 million share of construction costs. The city's $38 million share of infrastructure, or site preparation, costs would come under the state's TIF law, which uses tax breaks for business to spur development of deteriorating neighborhoods. The county no longer would have to pay $18 million in infrastructure costs. Instead, the city would pay $38 million and the state $34 million. Under the original agreement, the state was to pay $36 million in infrastructure costs.

Council President John Kalwitz said after a briefing with Agostini that the plan included a $15 million to $20 million contribution by the private sector in exchange for part ownership of the stadium. But Agostini described that only as part of discussion. He said one idea was that the team could sell pieces of stadium ownership to complete its end of the deal. Agostini said city officials believe there is ample parking downtown, even when there are events at the Bradley Center. The plan includes building structures to provide 1,500 and 600 new parking spaces.

The proposed 22-acre site, which would include picnic and plaza areas, is on the Milwaukee River three blocks north of City Hall. Property acquisition and assembly of about $23 million would be required as part of infrastructure costs, Agostini said, and part of a freeway spur would have to come down. near west side, with access to an Interstate 94 interchange. The team contends the location has greater parking space and would produce less traffic congestion than a downtown site. But others say a downtown site is likely to attract more businesses to guarantee the Brewers' share of the cost.

Backing from the team's chief lender, NationsBank of Charlotte, N.C., is uncertain. Thompson said keeping the current plan depends upon whether the team can find a way to get private financing or qualify for a Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority loan, which fell through earlier this year. The Brewers have less than a week to show they can afford the $90 million. The other $160 million is to come from the sales tax hike of one-tenth of one percent that took effect Jan. 1 in five Milwaukee-area counties.

The stadium board has said it will halt the sales tax May 1 if the Brewers dont meet the April 15 deadline. Later, in Agostini outlined the downtown site plan to the Common Council, including potential major funding sources involving sales of city parking structures and use of tax incremental financing (TIF) districts. Agostini said the downtown plan included: $50 million provided through general obligation bonds, which would be paid off by the sale or long-term ground lease of four parking structures owned by the Considering there in terms of them calling their cable operators to ask them to carry the (Wisconsin Sports) network.

TCI, the cable company that serves Racine, Jones Intercable, which serves Kenosha, and Marcus, which serves the Burlington area, currently do not offer the Wisconsin Sports Network.

That team concluded there was a better than 60 percent chance the same person wrote the letters and the manifesto. A couple weeks later, Van Zandt and two communications experts concluded a separate analysis of "the overall themes, the style and form" and concluded there was more than an 80 percent chance of one author.

Van Zandt said that the discovery of a partial and a complete pipe bomb at Theodore's Montana cabin indicates David "could very well have saved lives by coming forward." David's first suspicions about his brother arose late last summer when he read about the Unabomber's suspected travels. could not be the Unabomber, but she also stated that if he were then he had to be stopped," Bisceglie said. In an interview, Van Zandt, a veteran of 25 years with the FBI, said that last December he was given a 10-year-old, four-page letter and a one- or two-year-old, one-page letter by Chicago private detective Susan Swanson, who was working for David. Van Zandt, a psychiatrist and a linguist compared them to the manifesto on the inhumanity of industrial society. They looked at "how the sentences were structured, the wording and use of phrases to profile the author's academic training," Van Zandt said.

The team also "looked at the ideas expressed for a psychological profile, parison of writings by an unnamed individual and the manifesto. "The information was taken very seriously," Bisceglie said. At that time, neither Bisceglie nor David knew there was a $1 million reward. If they collect the money, the Kaczynskis are considering giving it to families of Unabomber victims. "Our hearts are with Ted.

Our deep sympathies go out to the victims and their families," the family said in a statement Monday. Bisceglie said family members had had no contact with Theodore since he was charged but would see him if he agreed.
