Ms. Brock was reported by troopers to have suffered possible injuries but apparently sought her own treatment. Deputies reported late Saturday that Lee M.

Mrs. Halac, who lives in Caro, said her husband had failed to give her the furniture as required by the agreement. Halac accused her of violating his visitation rights to see their children. Following a hearing, Baguley ordered each to serve two days in the county jail for contempt of court. . "I've had it," the judge said during the proceedings. "I'm sure everybody else has had it right up to their necks with your problems and your ridiculous conduct. "I'm not going to put up with this," the judge continued. "This court has too much other litigation which makes much more sense than this. I'm not going to waste the court's time and deny the people access to this court, because you people are totally unreasonable." Mrs. Halac served her sentence but Halac appealed. The appeals court, in overturning his contempt citation, said he was never informed whether the hearing was civil or criminal in nature and could have believed it was a civil proceeding. If it was, no jail term could have resulted. The appeals judges noted that Halac testified at the hearing, but that defendants cannot be forced to testify at a criminal proceeding. The appeals court also said that Halac did not learn the hearing was for criminal contempt until he was sentenced and that he was not allowed to make amends and agree to comply with the order. Tyosseek $300,000 in court suit A civil suit has been filed in Tuscola County Circuit Court by Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Tyo of 3853 Cemetery Road.

Defendant in the suit is Dr. R. Paul Chappel, DOS, whose office is at 6240 Hill Street. In the suit, Mrs. Tyo seeks $250,000 in damage plus interest and costs. Her husband seeks $50,000 in damages plus interest and costs. The suit has been assigned to Circuit Judge Norman A. Baguley.

They chose the latter. When they took over, they had 75 cows. They are now milking 85 out of a total of 95 and within a year plan to be up to 125 cows, with about 110 being milked. In addition to the 95 milk cows, there are also 75 calves and young cattle, kept in their father's old dairy barn. Paul does his own breeding via artificial insemination. Although Jim and Paul can do each other's job, Jim normally handles the crop work and Paul the dairying. "I'd just as soon not go in the barn and Paul would just as soon be in the barn," Jim explained, That doesn't mean that the older brother gets to sleep later in the morning, however. Jim helps Paul get started with the milking in the morning, then feeds the calves and young cattle. Their new facilities, built on the south side of Deckerville Road across from their father's old buildings, were completed in October, 1976. The total-confinement free stall pole barn measures 46 by 182 feet. The barn has two aisles. Manure scrapers, started by automatic timer, run down each aisle every three hours. Moving at 7 feet per minute, the cows can easily step over the scraper as it comes by. The manure gets scraped MILKING PARLOR -- Even with as much automated milking equipment as possible, milking 85 cows is still a 2>/2 hour job twice a day for Paul Wheeler. SUMMER SPECIAL ALFALFA SUPER Q 0-11-40 $ 124 50 0-10-30 Ill 65 SUPER Q contains ample amounts of phosphorus, potassium, boron sulfur, and magnesium to make a bumper crop for you. KLEIN'S KLEIN FERTILIZERS, INC. 4155 Vulcan St. Cass City 872-2120 into a pit under the building. Every five days it gets pumped out into a spreader tank. The manure is then spread, mainly on the hay fields. The cows get fed haylage and high-moisture corn. The corn goes right from the field into the 12,000-bushel capacity 20 by 50 foot glass-lined silo. Haylage, at 45 per cent moisture, goes into a 25 by 90 foot glass-lined silo, capable of holding 700 tons. The loading end of the silos is inside a building, large enough that the wagons to be unloaded can be brought inside. Pushing some buttons brings the feed automatically from the silos into the troughs inside the barn. Inside the barn, the high milkers -- those giving 60 or more pounds of milk a day -are kept on one side of the barn. Those giving under 60 are on the other side. Haylage is fed into the barn whenever the troughs are empty. On the high-milk side, the cows get 45-50 pounds a day; on the low side, 35-40. Corn is fed three times a day. "Our theory is we get more milk if we feed them (smaller amounts) more often," Paul explained. No added feeding is done inside the milking parlor. The other innovations are inside the milking parlor. Milking the herd takes Paul 2'/2 hours, from the time he steps inside until he's done with final cleanup. The parlor is a double-five herringbone. Paul's first task once he steps inside is to push a button. That starts the automatic washers to sanitize all the milking equipment. Another labor saving device is the milking claws, that hold onto the cows' teats. A sensor in each claw senses when the milk has stopped. Thirty seconds later, the claw pops off. And then there's the precooler, through which the milk flows before going into an 800-gallon tank. Water running through the precooler takes the top 30 degrees off the milk temperature, which means the refrigerator for the tank doesn't have to run as long to cool the milk. The water running through the precooler then goes into the manure pit, thus further liquifying the manure. All the modern equipment has attracted lots of attention. Paul joked that the visitors from New York filled the farm's quota of visitors for two weeks, but after that, there would be more. In fact, he said, his banker from Detroit came the same day'as the dairy group to see the operation. He was curious, the dairyman explained, to see what was so special that people would come all the way from New York to see it. Two sentenced in circuit court Two persons were sentenced Monday by Circuit Judge Martin E. Clements. Michael F. Engisch, no available address, was placed on two years' probation for attempted larceny in a building. He was assessed $150 court costs and ordered to pay $152 restitution. He pleaded guilty to the charge July 5, in connection with an incident Dec. 12, 1976 at the Texaco station at 6099 Bay City-Forcstville Road, Wisner township. William L. Thompson, 18, of Vassar, was placed on one year probation for larceny in a building. He was sentenced to 93 days in the county jail and credited with 93 days served. He was fined $150 and assessed $150 court costs. He pleaded guilty to the charge June 20 in connection Animal shelter site ok'd Tuscola county commissioners, at a special meeting Tuesday, accepted the offer of the village of Caro of a new site for the county animal shelter. The county will buy the village-owned property for $1. Located in Indianfields township, the site is on M-81 west of Caro near the airport. The city of Vassar also offered a site to the county, but commissioners preferred the one near Caro as it is more centrally located. The original location was to be on county-owned property in Aimer township but the township board refused to issue a building permit. The shelter is to be built with $200,000 in federal public works funds. The county board is waiting for official notification from Washington that the grant has been approved before having Caro architect Louis Deming draw the construction plans. The new shelter will replace one on land leased from Caro. which the village may need to expand its nearby sewage treatment plant. In other action, the board voted not to continue funding for the Thumb Intelligence Unit, an undercover drug investigation unit. July 28, commissioners appointed a committee to develop a county-level alternative to the three-county intelligence unit. The decision was made as the Huron and Sanilac County Boards of Commissioners have indicated they won't continue, funding the undercover agency. The current mixture of federal and local funding ends Sept. 30. with a May 1 break-in at the Tog Shoppe in Vassar. In Huron county Friday, Kirk D. Klebba, 17, of Cass City, pleaded guilty before Circuit Judge John T. Schubel to a charge of simple larceny. His plea was accepted and he was Bordered to pay fine and costs of $100.
