Wednesday night, relatives Shirley and Leonard Bloy, thought Elizabeth had a new statue a red fox on her front porch. It isn't a statue, Elizabeth Bloy informed them, just the mother fox who had come to visit at the front door, and who has a nest and six kits beneath her back sun porch. "I've never seen a fox out here before, and we've lived out here since 1947," she said Thursday.

She first learned about the fox residing in her yard about a month ago when a man who had been driving past stopped in and told her he had to slam on his brakes to avoid hitting the fox as it dashed across the road. "He came to the door and said he watched it go under my porch," Elizabeth Bloy said. When her brother-in-law and his wife came to the house this week, they saw the fox sitting on the front porch steps. When we went out to look, she had six little ones crawling around on the lawn," Elizabeth Bloy said. "She's got a pretty face, but was kind of scraggly looking other than that," Elizabeth Bloy said.

"And she seems real friendly." While the area has some plowed fields and a nearby woods, Elizabeth Bloy said the area is basically suburban with "buildings all around and the woods aren't all that big," she said.

Last week, Van De Hey told the County Board delays in the opening could result in a loss of about $1 million. He blamed much of the loss on unrealized revenues from the lease of jail cells.

The new jail-courts building will have more than 500 jail beds, many of which will be leased. In addition, the building will house seven courtrooms and assorted court-related offices and facilities. According to Van De Hey, the actual move to the Justice Center from the Safety Building and other county facilities will be on the weekend of Friday, June 12. The weekend move will include the transfer of prisoners, Van De Hey said. He said an open house is planned for Sunday, June 7.

County officials are looking at the possibility of taking legal action as a result of the delays in the opening of the Justice Center, but Van De Hey declined extensive comment on the prospect of litigation.

The merry-go-round and other fair rides will be set up at the mall this By James Meyer Post-Crescent staff writer An opening day of Monday, June 15, has been set for the Outagamie County Justice Center, a $25 million jail-courts building the county had hoped to move into months ago. "We're just not accepting anything other than the fact we expect it to be done and will accept nothing less," County Executive Ronald Van De Hey said Thursday. "It's got to go." Van De Hey set the opening date this week, after meeting with a construction committee he heads.

The panel includes representatives from Miron Construction Co. Inc. of Menasha, construction manager for the project; and Potter Lawson Architects Inc. of Madison, the project architect. Van De Hey has been pushing for a firm opening date since January, when he had to abandon plans for a Jan.

31 opening. Prior to that, offi-cals were looking at a late 1991 opening. Now, Van De Hey said, "It's down to the bottom line. We had better get it open, period. And everybody has been informed accordingly that that expectation is there and will be complied with." Van De Hey said he set the June 15 opening date after learning that state jail inspectors will do all they can to facilitate the opening.

"They will be available whenever we give them the call and they will staff accordingly. They have been very cooperative," he said.

He is a graduate of the Marquette University Law School and currently lives in Onalaska, a La Crosse suburb; is married and has one child.

Donald Poppy was elected Circuit Court judge earlier this spring to replace the retiring Hugh Nelsoa The term to be filled expires at the end of the year. A La Crosse County assistant district attorney is the lone applicant for the vacant Calumet County district attorney post. Kenneth Kratz, 31, will be interviewed by staff representatives of Gov.

Winnebago County Assistant Dist. Atty. Thomas Gritton had considered submitting his name, but said earlier this week he had decided that for family and other reasons the timing was not right He said he wanted to continue as a Winnebago County prosecutor and did not want to relocate from the 4 Appleton teams score Four Appleton Area School District teams placed in state "Odyssey of the Mind" competition last weekend at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. Roosevelt Junior High School's "Alice in Omerland" team took second in Division II, while three teams placed third. They were in Mauston, announced last year.

The move was partly financed by $2.5 million in tax-free industrial revenue bonds and a $521,000 grant from the state Department of Transportation. Plache said it left about 70 members of United Auto Workers Local 642 in Racine out of work. "If that's economic development, we need to go back to the drawing board," she said. Rep. Maxine Hough, D-East Troy, said Thompson's veto of another bill, AB 870, would jeopardize highway safety by leaving more overweight trucks on the road.

She said Thompson was too beholden to garbage haulers. The bill would have allowed local communities to keep the fines they receive from overweight truck violations, instead of turning the money over to the state. Thompson said that could prompt local governments to enforce the law just to generate revenue. Hough said it would lead to vigorous law enforcement. However, Rep.

Marlin Schneider, D-Wisconsin Rapids, praised Thompson for retaining a budget provision prohibiting the use of genetic tests to deny people health insurance. "Genetic testing offers tremendous possibilities for solving and preventing disease, but it also opens up possiblities for insurance companies and employers to turn some of us into second-class citizens," Schneider said. "We can't allow that." Appleton school board re-elects officers The Appleton Board of Education reorganized Monday, re-electing Don Brown as president and Sharon Fenlon as vice president.

Thompson's use of his veto powers this week on a state budget adjustment bill and other legislation drew complaints from two Democrats and praise from another. The reaction came Thursday, a day after Thompson used 161 partial vetoes on the 1992-93 budget adjustment bill and also vetoed 21 other bills.

Rep. Kimberly Plache, D-Racine, said Thompson chose "to give business a deal while breaking the backs of the average worker and taxpayer" in vetoing her bill to prohibit use of taxpayer-subsidized industrial revenue bonds to shift jobs from one community to another. Thompson said he vetoed Assembly Bill 743 because it could jeopardize the creation of new jobs and cause factories to relocate in other states. The bill was prompted by the decision of Dumore Corp. to move from Racine to an expanded plant iHelp FROM PAGE 1 "We don't have anyplace secure in this building," said Woerishofer, who will accompany victims and other witnesses to the courtroom.

"We've had several cases where our witnesses have been taunted by defense witnesses." Woerishofer is developing a library of books and pamphlets for victims and has an arsenal of support agencies at hand. She tries to match the agency with the person in need. Recently, she has been working with the Appleton Police Department in an effort to educate patrol officers about victim rights. "They're starting to come around, to know that I'm not stepping on their turf. It's starting to become a unified effort.

Charles Klauck, community support officer for the Appleton police, said the department has been upgrading its awareness of victim and witness rights. "Our main job is to grab the criminal," he said, "but we realize that we have a responsibility to the people that are the victims of crimes. For the past three years, we've made a conscious effort to keep the victim apprised." Police are also attempting to return property that has been held as evidence as quickly as possible. A bill before the state Legislature would create a constitutional amendment for victims, strengthening their position in the legal system. Dist.

Atty. John Des Jardins said among other things the amendment would make it harder for defense attorneys to use subpoenas to sequester victims, keeping them and their supporters out of court. The amendment has passed both houses once. It could go before the Legislature again in January and be on a ballot as early as next April. sauer hicision iN iiNt ska res ARENA SPORTS 3127W.
