hat on the 7th and 8th day of November, 1981, 42 exotic chickens met with death resulting
rom and directly caused by a dog or dogs owned by unknown.
That upon or before the discovery of the death of said animals, I observed the
ollowing: On Saturday morning, November 7, our yard was covered with feathers and that
ur steel stock gate was knocked off its hinges. Then discovered chickens scattered from
oop and fenced yard. Located dead and injured chickens in coop. After counting 36 dead
nd missing, called sheriff's office for aid. On Sunday afternoon, Nov. 8, at 4:30 p.m.
arge black dog, Irish setter type and German shepherd type attacking remaining chickens.
his attack caused loss of 6 more chickens. Again notified sheriff's office. Officer
nvestigated and advised us to file this claim.
That by reason of these facts I claim that the death of said animals is due to the
ork of some dog or dogs. And I therefore assess the fair and reasonable market value of
Aug. 3, 1982
said animals herein described, as follows: As these birds were my daughter's 4-H project
there was more invested in them than can be recovered by money. Exotic chickens were
purchased from Allen's Hatchery, Missouri, at $1,,25 a piece for day old on May 15th.
Now 6 months old, we feel at least $5.00 invested in them, plus the personal investment
of my daughter's tender loving care.
Have you paid the current dog tax on all dogs owned by you? Yes

Route 1, Box 78
Washburn, WI 54891
The clerk informed the board that it was recommended by the Executive Committee that
the claim be denied.
Moved by LaJoie and seconded by Beckman to deny the claim.
Seidel then explained that the claim was improperly handled because it should have
been investigated by the town board and not the Sheriff. He also stated that there was
no conclusive evidence that the damage was done by dogs.
Janz then stated that the reason Swanson is so persistent is because of the recent
dog damage claim in the amount of $3,000 which was paid to the owner of a horse supposedly
killed by dogs. Janz stated that this claim was also improperly handled in that the Sheri
was contacted and not the town board.
McGowan then questioned if the proper procedures for filling out a dog claim could be
printed annually in the paper.
Stephenson stated that it would be up to the town boards to take on that responsibility
not the county'.s.
The question was asked on the motion to deny the claim.

The following resolution was read: No. 25
WHEREAS, The Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Wisconsin Division of
Emergency Government have begun so-called "Crisis Relocation" plans for emergency evacua-
tion of nine Wisconsin high -risk areas, and
WHEREAS, Some serious questions have been raised about the effectiveness of such a
plan, such as 1) whether an orderly evacuation would be at all feasible, considering the
72 hours estimated time needed; 2) that evacuation planning may lead to a false sense of
security and a belief that nuclear war is winnable and/or survivable; 3) that this type of
emphasis on the part of government may lead many citizens to begin to accept the inevitabil
ity of nuclear war, and; 4) that evacuation during a time of international crisis might
trigger an attach rather than prevent one; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Bayfield County Board of Supervisors go on record in opposition
to the federal proposed crisis relocation planning because it believes that crisis reloca-
tion will not work, reduces federal funding for other vital programs, justifies additional
defense spending, which wastes valuable resources, and misleads the public into thinking
nuclear war is surviV6e., when the only real defense against nuclear war is to prevent it
from happening, and be it further
RESOLVED, That copies of this resolution be sent to the Wisconsin Congressional
Delegation, the Wisconsin Division of Emergency Government, all members of the Wisconsin
Legislature, the Wisconsin County Boards Association, Chairmen of all other County Boards,
and the National Association of Counties, asking them to join in opposition to continued
crisis relocation planning.
