Family friend By Jim Stlngl Of the Press-Gazette Three young girls died at their Waupaca home early today in a fire that officials believe was started by a wood-burning furnace in the basement. An investigation by the fire marshal was continuing today. The girls' parents, Keith and Ardie Penney, were able to escape from the fire through a bedroom window. "They tried to get to the children's bedrooms but had been driven back by the intense heat and smoke," Waupaca Fire Chief Leland Thompson said today.

The victims have been identified as Stacey Schoenick, 14; Hollie Penney, 11; and Jackie Penney, 4. Stacey was Mrs. Penney's daughter from a previ- except for small sections left standing. It was engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived. The fire was reported at about 11:55 p.m.

Thursday by Robert Whitman, 1011 Park Ave. Mrs. Penney ran across the street to Whitman's house to summon help while her husband tried unsuccessfully to get back into the house to save the children. Whitman, a former volunteer fireman in Waupaca and longtime friend of the Penney family, then went with Mrs. Penney back to the fire scene.

"By the time we got there, the windows blew out and whole house was engulfed in flames," Whitman said. Penney was trying to enter the back of the house and Whitman said he tried to enter from the front and side. Firefighters knocked down the Hollie Penney One of three girls who died in fire flames and then entered to search the house, Whitman said. They remained on the scene for about six hours.

Stacey was found lying on the floor in a bedroom of the one-story house. She was facing the door. The two younger girls were found huddled in a bathroom, Maasch said. Waupaca Police Chief Fred Ras-mussen said the house, located at 1010 Park was burned to the ground Hinton gets 50-year term By Scott Hildebrand Of the Press-Gazette Brown County Judge N. Patrick Crooks today sentenced Mark S.

Hinton to 50 years in prison for his role in the Margaret Anderson case. Crooks sentenced Hinton on convictions for aiding and abetting aggravated battery, aiding and abetting kidnapping and third-degree sexual assault. Hinton was sentenced for his involvement in crimes which Brown County District Attorney Peter Naze called "as vicious and brutal acts as this community has ever seen and, hopefully, will ever see." Crooks sentenced Hinton to 23 years on the kidnapping charge, 1 1 years on the sexual assault charge and 16 years on the aggravated battery charge. Hinton will be eligible for parole in 12V4 years. He was sentenced as a repeat offender.

A jury Sept. 14 found Hinton guilty of the charges "Certainly the acts Mr. Hinton was involved in including kidnapping led directly to the murder of Margaret Anderson." Brown County Judge N. Patrick Crooks related to the Anderson case. Anderson, 35, was found bleeding to death in the early morning hours of Dec.

27, 1983, near the Packer-land Packing Co. on Lime Kiln Road. She was beaten and sexually assaulted earlier that morning at the Back Forty Tavern, 618 Boadart Way. She later was driven to the area near the packing company where her throat was slit. Crooks said it was difficult to separate the crimes with which Hinton was charged from the actual murder of Anderson.

"Certainly the acts Mr. Hinton was involved in including kidnapping led directly to the murder of Margaret Anderson," Crooks said.

Their three children were unsuccessful. postpone action on admission fee By Mike Shaw Of the Press-Gazette Culture and education should not carry an unnecessary pricetag. That was the sentiment of the Neville Public Museum's board of directors Thursday as it postponed action on a proposal to charge admission at the museum. The board will first study whether people would be willing to pay admission and, if so, whether the fees would generate worthwhile revenue increases. The board directed Interim Museum Director Donn Quigley and board member Jeff Gillis to investigate conducting an entrance poll at the museum.

The poll would tally museum visitors by age, residence and other categories because some groups, such as schoolchildren or Brown County residents, may be exempt from paying any fees. Using those figures, board members could estimate how much revenue would have been raised had there been an admission charge. "We are in no position to make a decision now because we have no answers," board member David Reinhart said. "We have to find out who is coming to our museum." "We don't want to see (county) taxes go up," board member Fred Baer said. "But I don't tmnk admission is going to do what Don (County Executive Donald Holloway) wants it to do generate revenue for the county."

Ragen showed up at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, they treated him just like the president. Ragen is spending his vacation with his family at the hotel next to the Waldorf Towers, which President Ronald Reagan checked into before his speech Thursday at the United Nations and meetings with foreign leaders. When the lawyer from Portland showed up, the hotel staff mistakenly sent him up to Rea gan's Presidential Suite in the towers, Ragen said. "They ushered us back quickly," he said. However, the hotel switchboard has apparently not caught on to the difference between Ragen and Reagan, and the attorney's phone has been ringing off the hook with calls from people with foreign accents.

He has had to turn down an offer of gifts from Sri Lanka and a request for a meeting from a French businessman. "They wanted the other guy," Ragen said. "It happens all the time."

Released were 76 guerrillas, 73 wounded fighters and three rebel commandants. In addition to freeing Ines Guadalupe Duarte Duran, 35, and a friend, Ana Cecelia Villeda Sosa, the guerrillas were known to have released nine of 38 mayors and municipal officials the government believes were kidnapped by the leftists and whose release was part of the exchange agreement.

Duarte said his daughter, released Thursday, was generally in good shape. "She is tired, apparently they made her walk three days in a row. She has nervous tension, which you may understand is normal after having been kidnapped more than 40 days. She is happy to be with her father, her mother and her children," the president told reporters. After being released in Tenancingo about 25 miles northeast of the capital, Mrs.

Duarte Duran and her friend flew back to the capital by helicopter. Mrs. Duarte Duran, in blue jeans and a light blue jacket, ran to her parents and her three children and embraced. They posed briefly for photographers and left by motorcade for home.
