She is in the Vilas County Jail in lieu of the $100,000 bond. Anita Evers, 48, is being held in the Outagamie County Jail on 22 felony charges related to the operation of massage parlors in Green Bay, Appleton and Oshkosh. Her husband, William, 47, is serving a 10-year term in the Wau-pun Correctional Institution on a 1984 extortion conviction and also is technically held on a $1 million bond on 28 prostitution-related counts in Outagamie County. The younger Evers said he was one of nine persons who protested his mother's high bail by picketing By Tom Murphy Even if allegations surrounding Anita Evers role in the operation of a prostitution ring are true, her $500,000 bond is excessive, her son charged this morning. "Where's the victim?" of her alleged criminal activities, asked William Evers, 25, of Oneida.

"Even if all the stories are true, can somebody point to the victim?" Evers said. He questioned the justice of a system that set a $100,000 bond for a woman charged with killing her 14-month and 7-week old children in Vilas County, and put the $500,000 figure on his mother when there were no apparent victims. Attorney General Donald Hanaway authorized DesJardins to issue the charges under the state's Organized Crime Control Act, the first time a county prosecutor's office was given that authority. The authorization permits DesJardins to treat the allegations as an enterprise rather than single acts, allows him to cross county lines for investigations and provides tougher penalties. 'm Among the others charged after the John Doe was Theodore WithT, eril of Green Bay who allegedly managed several massage parlorf for Evere after Evers was ailed.

The girl, Donna Bone, has anorexia nervosa, a personality disorder characterized by an aversion to food. Her mother, Theresa Bone of Green Bay, said Donna has been seen at Bay Park Square mall as recently as last Saturday, but attempts to bring her back have failed.

"The average person who knows her would tell you she's just a small little lady and that she's always been a lady." John DesJardins, an Outagamie County assistant district attorney, has defended Mrs.

Evers' bond level. She would be a threat to potential witnesses if freed, Des Jardins said. The charges against the Everses and others grew out of a six-month John Doe investigation. The senior Evers faces the possibility of 30 more years in prison as a result of the probe. I By Tom Murphy Press-Gazette SHEBOYGAN Relatively low lake Michigan levels may calm municipal leaders but should not lull them into complacency, the chairman of a coalition favoring permanent flow regulation said Thursday.

Iieo Breirather of Sheboygan, chairman of the Wisconsin Lake Michigan Shoreline Chapter of the Great Lakes Coalition, was among those who spoke to about 50 municipal officials at a Shoreline Executives' Conference here. Breirather, a member of Gov. Thompson's Task Force on Lake lievels, estimated that about $300 million has been spent in Wisconsin alone in the last two years on riprap and other temporary solutions to record high water marks. On May 31, lakes Michigan and Huron actually one body of water were about 9 inches below the level of a yeur ago, the Army Corps of Engineers reported. The drop was primarily due to significant declines in snow last winter and light spring rains.

Both lakes, however, are about 21 inches higher than average for the month and 53 inches above the all-time low reached in 1964, the corps said. The up-and-down cycle will continue, Breirather said, with each high water mark eventually exceeding the last. He said the Wisconsin branch of the coalition claims that an international agreement to regulate the flow in and out of the Great Iakes is a ls costly and more permanent solu- mm mmmmm f--' 1' i 71771 -a ii ii. w.r pmmm jmt, ii.mii -mi R. 1 ZZ! jL i "ii iiiiiiiinu; jinr nnni nfcjiimr iii'iww1inw(iiii mmwm twmHL jywwifriMrm- I--- mmmiviim-vm mm 1 i Ii ir i i in ii i.

Her granddaughter was Miss Oneida 10 years ago. The five Miss Oneida pageant participants and six Junior Miss Oneida contestants introduced themselves and presented their goals. Many expressed a desire to one day return to the reservation to work.

"Oneida's future looks very bright," Sneed said. The girls selected to represent the tribe in 1987 must walk in the modern world and the traditional one as well, according to Patti Nin-ham, 1986 Miss Oneida. Part of that modern world is a college or technical school education. Ninham said she hoped proceeds from the dinner would top $500. Proceeds will go toward a scholarship fund for the 1987 Miss Oneida.

The amount of the scholarship will be announced when a winner is selected July 1, she said. Ninham said the goal is to raise $1 ,000. She received a $200 scholar Press-Gazette photo by John E.

"Until you have the hard (dam-f age) data to present to your government, you are just a nuisance," she said. "What is happening is not a nui-, sance but a crisis affecting the fi-nmicial stability of our provinces and your states," said Ha.en, who lives in Port Rowan, Ontario. Walt Sandbcrg, government affairs director for the Wisconsin' Public Service Corp. of Green Bay, told a reporter the firm will spend about $798 million protecting its facilities on Green Bay and Lake Michigan by 1990.

Ilazen said a Dec. 2, 1985, storm did $10.1 million in damage to just her area alone on the north shore of Iike Erie. With Ijike Erie level regulation costs estimated at $100 milliofi each for Canada and the United States, it takes only 10 similar storms or one storm in 10 areas to pay for consistent lake levels, she said.

Sneed, who worked for seven years as a consultant to western Indian tribes in the areas of Indian education and employment rights, donated her honorarium to the scholarship fund. She said she decided while a law school student not to pursue the traditional field of Indian law despite arguments from fellow students. "(They told me) Indian people cannot be business persons," she said. "Once we engage in business we lose the essential character that makes us Indian people and sets us apart But Sneed, who said Indian nations have a great interest in tax exempt bonding, felt she should pursue corporate law.

She said each tribe is going to have to make sacrifices so people like her can go off for awhile to practice law in large metropolitan areas like New York and Chicago. By Karil Van Boxel Press-Gazette The future of the Oneida Indian tribe may depend on the higher education and career goals of its youth, candidates in the 1987 Miss Oneida and Junior Miss Oneida pageants were told at the Rodeway Inn Thursday night. The occasion was the first Miss and Junior Miss Oneida Scholarship Fund benefit dinner. Guest speaker Sarah Sneed, a securities attorney with the Chapman and Cutler law firm, Chicago, said it isn't enough to acknowledge the beauty of the candidates but higher education and career goals need to be recognized and counseled. Sneed, a 1985 graduate of Harvard Iaw School, is a member of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians from the Qualla Boundary Reservation at Cherokee, N.C.

But in budget debates that ended early today, the lower house refused to substitute a 1 percent statewide room tax on hotel, motel and resort accommodations to finance the state's $5 million-a-year tourism promotion program. Wrapping up its action on a host of issues in the Senate-passed, $20 billion 1987-89 budget package, the Assembly also bolstered a state program to clean up toxic waste sites that threaten drinking water supplies but do not qualify for federal help, and approved 80 additional professors for the University of Wisconsin System. The school milk and drug abuse programs, approved earlier in caucus by majority Democrats, were passed by the full Assembly without debate.

An effort by licp. Robert I-arson, R-Medford, to delete the additional UW professors was turned back 79-19. There was intense debate, however, on how to pay for tourism Sarah Sneed Encourages queen candidates "It will eventually benefit the tribe," she said. Sneed said while researching North Carolina statutes in law school, she found the colony reserved the power to contract with the Indian tribes until the tribes were dispersed. Dispersed could mean assimilated into the mainstream or caused to disappear, she said.

"We look to the contestants to insure that the tribes continue to exist," she said. AP LaserPhoto Drug slayings reflect 'how far one can sink' KENOSHA (AP) A 22-year-old man who faces life in prison for the slayings of a former Green Bay man and his cousin demonstrates "how far one can sink" when involved in narcotics, a judge says. Spriggie N. Hensley Jr. was sentenced Thursday to two life terms plus 30 years for the New Year's eve murders of two service station attendants.

Kenosha County authorities say the victims were beaten and stabbed before their bodies were set afire. The incident in a service station resulted from an attempt to collect payment for a drug deal, investigators said. "This is judgment day for Mr. Hensley," District Attorney Robert Zapf told Judge William Zievers. Hensley had a relatively stable life, but it deteriorated when he became involved with drugs, the judge said.

Circumstances of the case "show how far one can sink and destroy himself through the medium of controlled substances," he said. Hensley was convicted May 1 of first -degree murder, armed robbery and arson. A second defendant in the case, Luigi Aiel'o, 22, also of Kenosha, was convicted earlier this year in the Dec. 31 deaths of John E. Ekornaas, 19, and his cousin, Steven Kinney, 22, a former Green Bay resident.
