February 4, 1998 in the Oconto County Reporter, of Oconto Wisconsin there was a short front page article stating, "Abrams', Abner Eyewink says he has learned Lena Village officials are considering an ordinance banning breast feeding in public. It is viewed as inappropriate by many village residents who claim the practice has become much too common in recent weeks. if approved, strict enforcement is anticipated with jail terms possible for offenders." The address of the Oconto Reporter is P.O. box 200 Oconto, WI 54153 and the phone is 920 834 4242 Fax is 920 834 4878. If I can find out the date, time and place that the town meeting is going to take place we will perhaps organize a "nurse-in". Letters to the editor of the newspaper would be helpful or phone calls from constituents of Lena township to the town board members would also be in order. Wisconsin Assembly Bill 154 of 1995 exempts mothers breastfeeding of a child from various criminal statutes. -- Cindy~ *~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~ Cindy , RN, IBCLC ~ Virginia , USA ICQ # 412812 mailto:[log in to unmask] Benefits of Breastfeeding Home Page http://www.erols.com/cindyrn LactChat Home Page - http://www.erols.com/cindyrn/lactchat.htm
