Robert Dole said in rural Brown County today.

And Dole, said party leaders believe Republican U.S. Senate candidate Susan Engeleiter has a good chance of defeating Democrat Herbert Kohl. "This is one of the showcase races," Dole said. "We have an outstanding candidate and this is an open seat." He said Republicans probably would have written off Wisconsin if retiring Sen. William Proxmire had experience in the state Senate and criticized Kohl for spending large sums of money to get elected to the Senate.

"She's ready," Dole said of Engeleiter. "She'll be ready to go to work the first day after she's sworn in. She doesn't have to learn the ropes." Dole said he would like to see Engeleiter on the Senate Agriculture Committee, a committee Dole has served on for 20 years. He said Engeleiter would be a strong voice for farmers and consumers. Wisconsin needs a senator who understands farming and listens to fanners, "not somebody who has a recreational farm in Wyoming," Dole said in a reference to Kohl.

Dole said he is confident that Republican George Bush will defeat Democrat Michael Dukakis in the presidential race. But he said Bush needs a Republican-controlled Congress to work with. "Otherwise he's going to be hog-tied and have his hands tied behind his back when he starts to move on legislation," Dole said. Dole talked optimistically about Republican chances to regain control of the Senate, but he also sounded a note of caution. "We have a shot at it," he said.

"But I wouldn't want to bet the farm, especially if it's your farm." "This is one of the showcase races." Kansas Sen. Robert Dole decided to seek re-election. Dole, the minority leader of the Senate, campaigned with Engeleiter this morning at the Ray De-derich farm in the town of Hobart. About 50 people listened as Dole and Engeleiter spoke standing on a trailer in a large shed. Engeleiter will face Kohl in the Nov.

It also plans to develop a Board of Professional Standards. The plan follows some of the recommendations proposed recently by a 14-member task force established by the Green Bay Area Chamber of Commerce to study merging several government services in the county.

Erickson said the chamber's task force erred by not consulting area police agencies when it recommended forming a single metropolitan police department. The police chiefs' task force won't try to merge entire departments, as recommended by the chamber's task force. But the chiefs will look at ways to share costs and resources while maintaining individualized services, Erickson said. "It's impractical for Example, for us to have our own emergency response team," said De Pere Police Chief Armand Wecker. "We want to give good service but at a good value to the public." By Paul Srubas Press-Gazette The heads of eight police agencies in Brown County are seeking to merge major police services over the next five years.

Members of the task force that will develop plans for the merger are Sheriff Leon Pieschek, Brown County; James Danforth, Oneida; Howard Erickson, Green Bay; John Konopacki, Ashwaubenon; Jerry Lauters, Denmark; Jeff Roemer, Allouez; Arm and Wecker, DePere; and Reed Woodward, Pulaski. The committee will discuss sharing services without undermining the relationship that each police agency has with its community, Pieschek said at a press conference this morning. All eight chiefs attended this morning's news conference at the Brown County Public Safety Building. The task force intends to develop a five-year plan for studying and implementing mergers in the following areas: Major crimes investigation Emergency response Training Evidence and property control Communications winner a rugner amount, Donald Nielsen concluding wfth $1 mon Retired police officer for first place "It's been quite a week so far," Nielsen, 54, 215 Perkins said Thursday.

"We just talk to each other about something else all the time," he said. "She wants to talk a little about it. But I say, 'Not until the time The Nielsens also have spent the week fielding congratulations and good-luck calls from friends. And they've been contacted by loan companies and financial institutions with investment plans.

"We're not only going to pass the bread, but you're going to be at the table," he told the predominantly black audience. Bush said Thursday night that he would not be "talking on the negative side" in the closing days of the race, but that didn't seem to last long. He told a business group in Los Angeles today that Dukakis Please see Politics A-2 By Donna Cassata Associated Press Michael Dukakis rallied supporters at a church today with a declaration that "11 days is an eternity" and time enough to catch George Bush before Election Day. Bush suggested Americans would wake up to a gloomy morning if Dukakis should be elected. Bush celebrated like the front-runner he is Thursday night at a party at Bob Hope's house.

But Dukakis also was upbeat at a rally early today at a Baptist church in Kansas City, "In politics, as you all know, 11 days is an eternity," Dukakis said. "There is time to do it." He was introduced by the Rev. Wallace S. Hartsfield, who said that during the Reagan administration there have been "a few at the head of the table who refuse to pass the bread." Mark Lukensmeyer all motorcycle club members are already in prison for what they did to Margaret Anderson. "Justice has really been served for Margaret Anderson," said Green Bay Detective Jerry Parins, who worked extensively on the case.

"She died really hard." "Justice is done," said District Attorney John Zakowski. "She can rest in peace. It's finally over." That's good news for several people who have had to parade to the witness stand as each man came to trial. "I'm glad it's over. It's a relief," said Debra Smits, the woman who was driving home from work that cold December night when she found Anderson dying at the side of Lime Kiln Road.

"It's something I don't want to experience again." Dr. Darrell Skarphol, the pathologist at St. Vincent Hospital who performed the nine-hour autopsy on Anderson, took the witness stand eight times to tell about Anderson's injuries. "It was such a horrible thing," said Skarphol. "I spent as much time reading over my reports this time, just because of Please see AndersonA-2 By Tony Walter Press-Gazette It began the day after Christmas in 1983 when a woman named Margaret Anderson walked out of the cold winter air in downtown Green Bay and into a bar that offered her terror, torture and, ultimately, death.

It ended Thursday when 12 people from Milwaukee took just 37 minutes to decide that Denice Stumpner was a guilty party to that tragedy. The Margaret Anderson murder case lasted 1,766 days. It included as many as 30 police officers at one time or another. It also included six judges, two district attorneys, eight private attorneys, four major trials and, by conservative estimates, more than $100,000 of Brown County's money for court costs alone. And now it's over.

Stumpner, the fourth and final man to face the legal consequences for what happened in the Back Forty Tavern at 618 Bodart Way when Anderson was beaten and sexually assaulted, is guilty, the Milwaukee jury said. He will be sentenced Dec. 7.
