Mayor found guilty of selling fireworks MONROE Brodhead Mayor Bill Wellnitz has been "They were able to get the DNA delivered to the offspring but it doesn't do anything," Golos said. The UW team wants to study how a placenta works. Doctors wonder whether a problem with the placenta causes some women to have repeated miscarriages early in their pregnancies. "There are a lot of speculations but very little hard fact on how the placenta functions," Golos said. did not carry the jellyfish gene, although the researchers' technique could result in monkeys that do, said Thaddeus Golos, a scientist at the Wisconsin Regional Primate Research Center.

Golos said researchers can use gene transfer technology to find out which genes cause or cure diseases by moving them from one animal to another. He led the UW team, which included embryonic stem cell pioneer James Thomson and American Red Cross scientists. The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences published the work Tuesday. It was the first time a gene put into a primate embryo has worked through development to birth, Golos said. Scientists at the Oregon Regional Primate Research Center reported earlier this year that a monkey had been born with a jellyfish gene, but the gene was unable to function as it would in a jellyfish.

The Associated Press MADISON University of Wisconsin-Madison scientists put a jellyfish gene into a monkey embryo in an effort to develop methods for gene transfer to a primate embryo. The UW research team inserted the jellyfish gene in 6-day-old monkey embryos, placed the embryos into surrogate mother monkeys and verified the gene was working in the placentas of two monkeys later born. The live monkeys themselves found guilty of selling illegal fare-works and obstructing officers Woman sets 15 years who investigated the incident weiinitz, 68, was accused of in faM accident TTTimin A Amtrak drops idea of Fond du Lac run Madison company wins Schwinn auction dUiNCAU o-year-uiu woman has been sentenced to spend every Dec 22 for the next 15 years in jail on the anniversary of a fatal traffic accident last year in which she was convicted. Dodge County Circuit Judge Daniel Klossner also ordered Terrilyn M. Janzer of Burnett to serve one year in the county jail, minus 15 days, and 15 years of probation on a charge of homicide by intoxicated use of a motor vehicle.

Janzer was convicted in May after a plea agreement in a head-on collision on County Trunk at Horicon in which Deanna A. Hollenberg, 36, of Beaver Dam, died. She was also ordered to pay court costs, continue with alcohol counseling and provide 40 hours of community service per year while on probation The judge Monday also directed Janzer to write a letter to the victim's family "We're excited to be the company that was awarded SchwinnGT but today's tragic events deflated the entire atmosphere." Byron Smith, president of Pacific Cycle dies and one pack of bottle rockets July 4 to a 24-year-old Janesville man who later reported the sale to the Brodhead Police Department, Rock County Sheriff's Department reports said. Wellnitz agreed before his scheduled court appearance to pay $50 plus court costs for selling illegal fireworks and $100 plus court costs for obstructing an officer, Green County court documents said. The maximum fine for selling illegal fireworks is $1,000, and the maximum fine for obstructing an officer is $500.

Green County District Attorney Gary Luhman said he agreed to the lesser fines because Wellnitz had no prior violations and he had no criminal record. Man charged in Easter shooting BELOIT A 24-year-old man has been charged in the fatal shooting of a teenager on Easter. Tywon Barber of Beloit was charged Monday with being party to the crime of first degree intentional homicide in the death of Michael Sims, 19. Barber was already in police custody after having been arrested earlier this month on unrelated drug charges, police CaptVinceSciamesaid. Police Chief Richard Thomas said the department executed a search warrant on Barber acquire a blood sample from him for DNA testing, and a DNA test matched blood found inside a blue latex glove believed to be used during the shooting.

The bloody glove was recovered from the car of another man arrested in the shooting, police said. Sciame said a third person was still being sought. "Everyone did a great job on this," Thomas said Tuesday. "I Sept. 22.

The company said there weren't enough riders and the revenue from express freight couldn't make up the difference. Amtrak's Hiawatha line from Chicago to Milwaukee would have been expanded for the Fond du Lac service, and Johnson said the company would have marketed it alongside an expanded route from Chicago to Toledo. That planned expansion has also been stopped, he said. Brookfield Mayor Kathryn Bloomberg said her city was mentioned as possible stop on the line, but is more interested in a highspeed rail line scheduled to run from Milwaukee to Madison. It would be the first leg on a 110-mph line from Chicago to the Twin Cities, Bloomberg said.

Stops in Oconomowoc and Watertown are also set for the $176 million Milwaukee-to-Madison fine, which could begin running in 2003. Congress needs to approve legislation that would provide funding for that line and the others in the nine-state, $4.1 billion Midwest Regional Rail Initiative. The Associated Press MILWAUKEE Amtrak did not find enough financial support for a daily trip from Milwaukee to Fond du Lac and has dropped plans for the route, an Amtrak spokesman said. The round-trip train route would have run once a day and might have included stops in Brookfield, Elm Grove, Slinger and Lomira. The route was part of a plan that aims to help Amtrak operate with fewer dollars in federal aid.

It was one of many routes that would have used revenue from carrying mail and express freight to help pay for passenger service. Amtrak said there wouldn't be enough mail and express business to support the route, mirroring the problem it found with a line from Chicago to Janesville, according to Amtrak spokesman Kevin Johnson. "We just haven't been able to put the pieces together like we hoped," Johnson said. Amtrak started Chicago-to-Janesville Lake Country Limited service in April 2000 and has since announced the route will stop By Robert Welter The Associated Press DENVER Pacific Cycle of Madison won an auction in U.S. Bankruptcy Court on Tuesday for SchwinnGT with a bid of $86 million after Huffy Corp.

dropped out. The proceeding was adjourned because the courtroom, in U.S. Custom House, was evacuated because of the terrorist attacks on the East Coast. Before departing, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Sidney Brooks declared Pacific's bid the winner, saying, "As far as this court is concerned it is binding." When the proceeding resumes, likely today, Brooks will hear a bid for both SchwinnGT and the fitness division of Questor, Schwinn's parent company.

That bid is a joint offer by both Pacific and Direct Focus, so Pacific is guaranteed control of Schwinn. Lawyer Brad Schmarak, who represented Pacific, said the auction was a success and proved such affairs must be competitive. He said creditors got $26 million more than they would have if the judge had permitted Huffy, of Miamisburg, Ohio, to complete a deal it made with Questor in a bid to avoid the bankruptcy proceeding. Byron Smith, president of Pacific, said, "We're excited to be the company that was awarded SchwinnGT but today's tragic events deflated the entire atmosphere. There will be no celebrations soon." Building likely to be named after Risser MADISON A new eight-story building that overlooks the Capitol Square will likely be named after Wisconsin's longest-serving legislator.

A state Building Commission naming committee recommended Monday that the building should be named the Risser Justice Center, after Sen. Fred Risser, D-Madison, and his family. Risser was first elected in 1956. "That has a nice ring to it," Risser said about the committee's suggestioa Tm honored." Risser, 74, his father, grandfather and great-grandfather all have represented Madison in the Wisconsin Legislature. The $41.8 million brick, concrete and glass building will house a law library and offices for the Wisconsin Supreme Court and state Justice Department.

The commission could finalize the recommendation at its next meeting. The Associated Press Bids had topped $80 million when Brooks stopped the auction late in the afternoon and ordered it to resume Tuesday morning. Boulder, Schwinn has long been an icon in the U.S. bicycle market It lost much of its market to specialized makers more than a decade ago but regained some of its cachet in recent years with upscale GT models. Schwinn filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in July, declaring $203 million in assets and $264 million in liabilities.

The major competitors, Pacific Cycle and Huffy, both wanted Schwinn to gain an edge in the mass bicycle market. Huffy and Pacific Cycle both sell lower-priced bicycles. Pacific also sells the Mongoose brand, a higher-end brand. Huffy markets bicycles in big-box stories. Pacific says it may market GT separately from Schwinn.

Joseph of Carondelet founded a school for girls called St. Joseph's Academy in 1896. The convent was part of the old academy. Marianne Van Drisse, daughter of Joseph and Sarah Van Drisse, who donated money toward the 1963 construction of the convent, said she didn't know about the time capsule until Miller called her about it. Van Drisse said she thinks the capsule may contain a newspaper or a list of the 33 sisters who taught there.

Lepak said he thinks the capsule sounds like it holds a rolled-up document. "It's certainly a wonderful thing that he found it," Van Drisse said. The capsule will be opened Sept 27 at the site of the former rogansshoes The Associated Press GREEN BAY A man set out to save part of a historic convent torn down a few weeks ago and found an unexpected treasure in the rubble. Steve Lepak of Green Bay said he thought the cornerstone of the demolished Sisters of St. Joseph convent was the perfect piece to preserve the history of St.

Joseph's Academy. "I thought it was an interesting conversation piece," Lepak said. "1 thought Td put it on my patio and use it as an end table." When Lepak removed the cornerstone from where the building used to stand, he found a copper box that was soldered shut and tucked inside a hole in the block of stone. He found a time capsule but has no clue as to what's inside. "I can't imagine what's in there," said Sister Judy Miller, a Gastrointestinal Associates.
