To whom it may concern:
We have felt that this letter is necessary to explain a problem that has
gotten way out of hand and out of control and feel it is crucial to express our side
of the story. As you know, we have been accused of burning trash that we
should not be burning. We enjoy living in Fairfax and all we want is to enjoy our
home and property and nuot have any friction with neighbors, but at this point we
have our doubts that is possible. We feel that we bend over backwards to
please End Ostrenga and no matter what we do it is never good enough.
This all started when we received a letter from our neighbor End on
January 17, 1997 stating that she had a medical problem and would appreciate it
if we would move our burin barrel. Our burn barrel is located near their driveway
and she indicated that the smoke would blow toward her house. When we
purchased the barrel and started burning we chose that area of our yard, and as
a property owner we feel as long as we are not breaking any city limits or rules
we should be able to choose where our burn barrel is located. Out of respect
however, we started to burn later at night when no one was outside and when
the wind was going the opposite direction of Enri's house. As you see however,
that still was not good enough and now she wants us to quit burning all together
and accusing us of things that are totally untrue. What is more frustrating than
anything is that she has now turned to lying to try to accomplish the restriction of
our burning. We do not and have never burned our trash daily. On an
average we burn about 2 or 3 days per week. We recycle everything that is
possible and in reality there is no way a family of four would have enough
garbage to burn daily. Yes, we have been putting our brash into the burn barrel
in a garbage bag and when approached by Enri she indiicated that the bag was
plastic and should not be burned. I indicated that I would dump the garbage out
of the bag into the barrel from this point on. Never did II say that I would burn
anything I wanted and if necessary I would disguise our 1 9 arbage as she stated.
We have two children so as you can expect accidents happen and some items
may be thrown in the garbage that should not be thrown in. We are going to be
more cautious when we bairn.
The comment in regard to us not caring or being concerned about Enri's
medical problem is totally, untrue. If we did not care would we have started
burning later in the evenings or watch which way the wind was blowing. The
only reason we are short with her at this point is due to the way they have
handled the situation which is totally immature and rude. We are tired of her
making us sound like the Ibad ones in this whole situation. She does not ask us
she tells us, she is rude, she has threatened us by saying that we and the town
would start receiving her imedical bills to pay, and the latest by her coming over
and ringing our doorbell and when no one answered she peeked in the window.
The only reason that my daughter's Diabetes was mentioned was due to End
stating that we had no idea and did not understand her situation with medical
bills. All I did was state that we very much understand due to Tiffany having
Diabetes. We agree with Enri's comment that her Diabetes is not the issue here
and we feel she should of not even included the subject in her letter to the city.
She knew exactly why I said what I said, and what it meant, but once again she
is trying to make us look Ibad.
We feel that the reason they are making a big issue out of the whole
situation is that we have had problems with these neighbors since we have
moved in. I have never met anybody like them that want it their way or no way.
They want us to quit burning however, we have asked them to move their
mailbox into their own yard and keep their trees and bushes trimmed and off of
our property. The mailbox has never been moved or the tree and bushes
trimmed. The only reason 'the some of the bushes were taken care of is because
they were on our property line and we wanted to put up, a fence and for that
reason they had to be moved. Another item that has pint strain between us as
neighbors is the issue on their garage. We admit that we were not happy that
they had to build a garage as big as their house, so close to our property line
and when we asked them not to they indicated they were going to anyway. We
are asking for the city's help at this time to inform the Ostrenga's that we want
their tree trimmed and their mailbox moved. If they do not take care of this we
will be happy to do both items for them, as we have hadl to trim their tree and
bushes in the past. We want them done immediately,
Once again we apologize to the City of Fairfax that this whole situation
has gotten so out of handl. We will continue to burn as Ilong as the City
ordinance allows us to do so, as long as we are obeying the rules. We will be
more cautious on what we are burning. We feel as long as the whole town
burns why should the Ostrenga's ask us to be the only ones that don't. We
enjoy living in Fairfax and have no problems with any of our neighbors but the
Ostengas. We are tired of one person trying to control everything that we do and
wish to have all these issues settled. It is to be hoped that after that point they
will respect our wishes and mind their own business. We wish no medical
problems on any one however, they have to be learned to be dealt with and lived
with. You can not always blame everyone around you for your problems.
Thank you for your help in this issue. We plan to cooperate with what
ever the city counsil decides and if we can answer any questions please feel to
contact us. The sooner the problem gets resolved the better. Once again
thank you.

Fairfax, Ia. 52228
March 18, 1997
Dear City Council Members:
I have a very important issue that needs to be brought up at the next City Council meeting.
I have a major complaint. The use of burn barrels have become a very big problem in my
neighborhood. I was under the impression that residents were only allowed to burn yard
waste. But some of my neighbors are burning their regular trash in their burn barrels. By
regular trash, I mean that I have personally witnessed people dropping their plastic trash
bags into the burn barrels and burning them. I have also seen on more than one occasion
another person bringing their,light-blue trash cans that should be put at the curb for the
trash truck to collect,just be set up next to their burn barrel and they have just burned
trash all afternoon. The plastics products burn for hours and hours. One of my neighbors
that also have objections to the burning of other things other than yard waste, told me he
recently witnessed a neighbor put in about a gallon of liquid he at first feared was gasoline
into the fire. He said it did not react like gasoline when put in the fire. He said he was not
sure if it was car motor oil, cooking oil, or perhaps another substance. Another time, this
same neighbor said he heard something he thought was an aerosol can explode in that
same neighbor's burn barrel. -My complaint is that this is causing me medical
problems which could result in death and it also is effecting my quality of life on my
ropes
I have Asthma as well as some other allergies that could become life threatening at any
moment. I have written my neighbor, Mr. Coppess a letter explaining that his burning
regular trash, especially plastic is making me sick. I have explained to him that his burning
is making me have Asthma attacks. I told him that I am on several medications for Asthma
and that when he burns, I am not only sick, but I also am not able to sleep, and that
sometimes I am breaking out in hives after the exposure to the pollutants coming from his
yard. I explained that the BREATHING problems are bad enough, but that my face
swells up with hives. And at least once I have had to call by doctor during the night at
approx. 4:oo in the morning putting him on alert that an ambulance might need to be
called because the swelling is getting close to my throat. My husband is not always home
so I have to have an Epinephrine injection which.I might need to give to myself if I feel
that I might pass out before an ambulance gets to me on time. Some nights after I have
been exposed to the trash burning pollutants, and I have an Asthma attack, I get no sleep
at all. And I still have to go to work the next day.
After Mr. Coppess received my letter he stopped burning during.the day but started again
during the night. Then he started to burn when he judged that the wind would not be
blowing toward my house. This did not help because when I breath in any amount of
whatever the allergen is, I automatically start to have an Asthma attack. I let him know of
my medical problems by letter. "Today I told him in person. His answer to me was that he
has discussed the burn barrel "issue with the "City" and he was told that he can burn
"anything" as long as it is not "plastic." Is this correct?
My problem is not only that I am not able to BREATH adequately after I have been
exposed to inhaling this polluted air, but also about my QUALITY OF LIFE. I am not
able to go outdoors when any of my neighbors are burning the trash that should be put out
for the recycling truck and the trash truck. If I see that my neighbor is burning, I pretty
much know that I must be a prisoner in my own home until the smoke stops coming out of
the burn barrel. And I have to wear a face mask when I arrive home from work if I see
that burning is being done, I have to wear a face mask when I bring home groceries
because I cannot go outside again, and again while I bring in my groceries.
Now that Spring and Summer are on the way I look forward to being outside doing
gardening. But last year I would be in the middle of planting Towers or some other
outdoor activity,then my neighbor would start burning his trash, and I had to go in the
house. I had to close all the windows and turn on the air conditioner whether the
TEMPERATURE permitted us to need to use the air conditioner or not.
I have spent too long keeping quiet, in the interest of good neighbor relations. But this
week I went out and spoke to all the neighbors on my block of my medical problem. I am
very concerned about having,to go to the Emergency Room as a result of the pollution. (I
only have a problem with the block of houses by my property.) All my neighbors were
very pleasant and said they would help me out, with the exception of Mr. Coppess, who
told me he was going to continue to burn his trash as long as the "City" allowed him to.
He said the other neighbors are burning trash, too. I believe he said he was not burning
plastics or trash that could be recycled. I told him I have seen him put his white trash bags
in the fire several times. He said he would continue to burn has trash and he would just
remove his regular trash from the white trash bag before he came out of his house so I
would not see him burning it then. I told him that I have already spoken to everyone else
on the block about my medical problem and they said they would help me out. I explained
to him that wood or leaves were not causing me any medical problems, it is the plastics
and other recyclable and "unrecyclable" items that cause air pollution. He said that his
daughter has Diabetes, so he knows about medical problems. I told him that I also have
Diabetes, but Diabetes is not the problem I was discussing with him. The problem is that
when he burns, I can not BREATH. He said as long as he is allowed to burn he will
continue to burn and he does not care about my medical problems.
My question to you is this: Are you going to wait until this issue turns into a matter
of life or death? Or can you help me out today?
When(and it is only a question of "when")I have to go the
hospital as a result of the air pollution that is being allowed to go
on,who do I complain to?By that point, it will be too late.
Dike so many other city residents, I only get paid for working
when I can go to work. If I cannot go to work, I cannot buy
health insurance. How will you deal with this?
It is not fair to me to expect me to deal with not only these
medical problems,but also the financial expenses that I have to
have as a result of this burning in the City Of Fairfax.
I am in the process of gathering information as to what the cost
of an Asthma attack Emergency Room visit would cost. Keep in
mind that this would involve the cost of the room, doctor,
nurses, equipment, medication, etc...
In the event that I might need to be admitted into the hospital,
keep in mind that the cost of a regular hospital room, doctor
fees,nurses, equipment, medications,, etc... will all need to be
paid..
All this is very extreme,just because someone refuses to pay$1.00 per trash can.
Imagine. I have to go pay thousands and thousands of dollars to the hospital and live daily
with an illness that I can control very well if I carry out my doctor's instructions, except
for being exposed to this daily household trash burning next to my house. Maybe your fees
for the trash collection are too high?But am not having any financial difficulties with
paying these fees.
It is too bad. But I am going to insist that burning anything in the city be banned because
I cannot trust someone to keep the health my family and me in mind. It is too bad
that everyone in the whole city has to lose out on burning their leaves just because of one
person. But I have to say something because I want to BREATH and I want to enjoy
being outdoors just like every one else.
I apologize for this letter being so long. But I felt that you might need as many details as
possible to address the problem with as much information as possible. It might help you
out to know that I am not the only one that is upset about this matter. I believe at least
another person on my block also has Asthma. You might have already heard from that
family, as well.
I do not know if we have the luxury of waiting until the next month's meeting because of
my health issues. My next door neighbor has refused to help me out and stop burning his
regular household trash. And he has made it clear that he will covertly continue to burn
whatever he wants to. As he said to me, he will be more careful about being seen as to
what he burns, He said he will disguise the contents of the items the best he can. Another
one of my neighbors said he already spoke to someone at the City Hall office. He said he
was told to call the Fire Dept, anytime he thought illegal items were being burned. I can
do this. But do you really think it will be reasonable for me to be calling the Fire Dept.
everyday?Mr. Coppess burns his trash daily, if not he alternates approx. every other day.
I would appreciate a letter of response from the City Council to me as soon as possible. I
would need someone to take responsibly to address this problem with me by Thursday,
March 27, 1997.
Please notice that I have included a copy of the letter I sent to Mr. and Mrs. Coppess on
January 17, 1997 addressing this issue. I have also included a map of my properly and
approx. where his burn barrel is located on his property. I hope you find this helpful.
Sincerely,
Enri Ostrenga

Dear Damn and Cheryl,
I am having a very serious problem and I am hoping you might be Aredo help me out with
it. Due to your trash burning outside, I have been having Asthma attacks. The problem is
that your trash burning.is done so close to both doors of my house. I am wondering if at
the least,to minimize this medical problem for me, if you would consider moving your
burn barrel to another location so the smoke does not blow in the direction of our doors?
Up until now,I have been trying to stay indoors when I see that you are burring your
trash. I also go indoors if you are just starting to get your fire!going. When I come home
and you are burning trash, I have been doing my best to hold my breath all the way from
my garage door to my house. When I do not have enough air in my lungs as it is,this a
very difficult task for me. And when I come home from grocery shopping, it is horrible,
because I have to go outside again,and again.
In the interest of good neighbor relations, I have been reluctant about bringing up the issue
with you. But my Asthma seems to be getting worse. Sometimes the Asthma attacks are
lasting for the entire night. So I am also losing sleep. And I want to avoid a visit to the
Emergency Room as long.as possible. I am sure you understand. I hope this does not
cause you too much inconvenience.
Sincerely,
Enri Ostrenga iJ
