The Post-Crescent from Appleton, Wisconsin • 14

WiisMim B-2 THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1992 THE POST-CRESCENT APPLETON-NEENAH-MENASHA. WISCONSIN Peird's siu3(D(Dess shows sfiafie's Owe ff By Robert Imrie Associated Press writer "Bush was done already three months ago," she said. "Bush could not win this election. It was a shame the Republicans didn't realize that and get on board with Perot." Two incumbent state senators who lost reelection Tuesday, Republican William Berndt of River Falls and Democrat Jerome Van Sistine of Green Bay, said Perot played a role in their losses. "The president ran poorly in my district and I was swimming against the tide," Berndt said.

"In Pierce County, Perot almost beat Bush." Van Sistine, a 16-year veteran in the Legislature, said Perot garnered anti-incumbent votes and that carried over to local races. Assembly Majority Leader David Travis, D-Madison, said; "I don't know if people will ever be able to analyze (Perot's) factor. It negated the coattail factor that we might normally see." He didn't want to be president anyway. He was doing it because he had a commitment and he fulfilled that commitment." Perot won about 19 of the popular vote nationwide and didn't carry a single state. Unofficial returns showed he didn't win any of Wisconsin's 72 counties.

His strongest showing was in Green Lake County, where he got 30 of the vote. In Clark County, he garnered 29. His worst showing was in heavily Democratic Dane County, where he got 1 5. Election statistics suggest Perot pulled votes from both political parties. For example, the vote percentages that Clinton and Bush earned in each county were lower than the percentages earned by Bush and Democrat Michael Dukakis four years ago.

Schultz said she estimated that Perot took more votes from Clinton than Bush. there were other none-of-the-aboves on the ballot (in Wisconsin) who didn't have $60 million," he said. George Reedy, a Marquette University journalism professor and former press secretary for President Lyndon Johnson, said Wisconsin has a tradition of rambunctious, issues-oriented candidates like Robert La Follette, Joseph McCarthy and William Proxmire. "You can see Perot in that tradition," he said. "He was a wild man.

They like them unorthodox in this state." Perot's showing indicates a new era of politics may be emerging, with political parties becoming almost irrelevant, Reedy said. "The real significance is, at the last minute, a man with no track record can get into the race and become a major factor," Reedy said. "1 think most of his votes came from Clinton because they were anti-Bush votes." "The real significance is, at the last minute, a man with no track record can get into the race and become a major factor." George Reedy former LBJ press secretary Cindy Schultz of Mequon, Perot's Midwest coordinator, said she doubts he will make another run for the White House. The message from the "feisty group" of Perot supporters was that mainstream political parties had better "get their act together and reach out to normal people again," she said. "I wouldn't tell him to run again," she said.

"I don't think he needs the aggravation. He doesn't compare to these other morons. MILWAUKEE Campaign money and a traditional fascination with unorthodox candidates help explain why Ross Perot attracted a half million Wisconsin votes in the presidential election, political strategists say. Perot's showing suggests a "sideshow freak with $60 million can get votes," said Bill Dixon, a Madison attorney who works for Democratic campaigns. Perot never campaigned personally in Wisconsin but got 22 of the vote to President-elect Clinton's 41 and President Bush's 37.

There were 1 1 other candidates on the ballot. Dixon said Perot drew votes away from Clinton and Bush. "It is the none-of-the-above votes, but Trial Ordered in In Wisconsin Weakland asks ex-judge to consult on sex abuse cases involving priests bizarre Slaying Governor: GOP must open itself up JEFFERSON (AP) A judge ordered a 77-year-old Town of Ixonia man to stand trial on a charge of first-degree intentional homicide in the fatal shooting of a man dressed as a woman. Jefferson County Circuit Judge John M. Ullsvik ordered Harold Maass to be bound over for trial in the Oct.

14 death outside his home of Robert K. Woelfel, 48, of Waukesha. Waukesha County Medical Examiner Lynda Biedrzycki, who performed an autopsy on Woelfel, testified he was shot once in the back from some distance away, then in the head at closer range. The second shot came from above, indicating Woelfel was already lying on the ground, Biedrzycki said. Sheriffs Deputy Daniel K.

Niko-lay, the first officer at the scene, said Maass told him he shot Woelfel only once as the victim was turning or running away from him and he also stated the gun was known to "accidentally discharge in the past." MADISON (AP) Gov. Tommy Thompson, who heads the Republican Governors Association, said the GOP has to sell itself as the "party of the big tent" with room for everyone in the wake of President Bush's election defeat. Thompson said it would be a mistake for the party to allow itself to be taken over by the "religious right." "Republicans win when they start taking the middle ground," he said Wednesday. "We can't win by excluding people. Thompson said the governors' association meeting Nov.

14-17 at Lake Geneva will be the start of a "tremendous period of soul searching" in the GOP. Jury finds teen killer sane MILWAUKEE (AP) A teen-ager who claimed she suffered from "urban psychosis" caused by inner-city violence when she shot a girl to death for her leather coat was not criminally insane at the time, a jury ruled. Lawyers for Felicia Morgan, 18, contended the stress of being raised in a crime-ridden neighborhood resulted in a mental illness that prevented the defendant from being held responsible for the shooting. She was convicted in the killing of 17-year-old Brenda Adams and the robberies of Adams and four other teens on Oct. 26, 1 99 1 Man pleads no contest to fraud MILWAUKEE (AP) A 24-year-old man who once claimed to have developed a computer software program that charted a course to fabulous wealth pleaded no contest to six felony counts of theft by fraud.

Jesse Joe Wisneski entered the pleas Wednesday in Milwaukee County Circuit Court on the day he had been scheduled to go trial. Authorities contended he defrauded people out of $485,000. cese said in a statement. Foley was a Circuit Court judge from 1964 to 1985. He will review all sexual misconduct cases and any new ones, the statement said.

Kenosha County authorities said last week that no charges were expected in the Effinger case because of the statute of limitations. Wisconsin law says a sexual assault charge involving a child must be filed within six years of an offense if the victim passes the age of 21. Investigators say the most recent incident alleged against Effinger occurred eight years ago. Rep. Margaret Ann Krusick, D-Milwaukee, wants the law rewritten.

"The passing of time doesn't make a child abuser any less guilty," Ms. Krusick said. "We know about these cases from reliable sources, but the prosecutors' hands are tied because of the statute of limitations." nosha. Weakland has said he heard an allegation against the priest 14 years ago. He said the child's parents didn't wish to press charges and that psychologists assured him that Effinger could remain on the job.

The decision to leave Effinger in the pulpit may have been "a bad judgment call," Weakland said last week, adding he now would notify authorities if he learned of a priest molesting youngsters. The Rev. Ralph Gross, archdiocese chancellor, said Foley was recruited because Weakland feels the church needs someone knowledgeable with state law. Weakland is "committed to putting into place whatever safeguards the judge would recommend were needed to prevent incidents of sexual abuse on the part of any church employee in the future," the archdio MILWAUKEE (AP) The Milwaukee Roman Catholic Archdiocese has recruited a retired Circuit Court judge as consultant in cases involving priests accused of sexual abuse. Leander J.

Foley, 70, will determine if the church's response to allegations is "appropriate and adequate," Archbishop Rembert G. Weakland said Wednesday. The Rev. William J. Effinger was dismissed from his Sheboygan parish last month after admitting he sexually molested a 13-year-old boy 23 years ago while serving in Kenosha.

Effinger has also worked in West Al-lis and Lake Geneva. In response to a request by Kenosha County authorities for information, about 15 people said they were molested by Effinger, many of them in the 1960s when they attended a parochial elementary school in Ke For the record The forecast for noon tomorrow Pressure CD HIGH LOW Bands separate high temperature zones for the day.

SUNNY Appleton police have arrested four juveniles, apparently all from the city, in connection with recent burglaries at High Cliff Supper Club in Calumet County and at Foods, 319 E.Calumet St. In both cases, Oct. 29 at the supper club near Sherwood and at the convenience store early Monday, safes containing large amounts of money were taken, officials said.

In the burglary, a hand cart from the store was used to take the safe, and 55 X-rated videos, 42 cartons of cigarettes and several lottery tickets were also taken. The youths were apprehended after Appleton police executed a search warrant on an apartment at 2330 S. Walden St. about noon Wednesday. One youth, age 17, was booked into the Outagamie County Jail on juvenile violations, reportedly as a runaway.

Three youths, two age 17 and one age 13, were booked into the jail for burglary. Police said "numerous items of evidence were recovered" and said their investigation is continuing. They said the search warrant was in relation to several recent burglaries, including the two safe thefts. Even though the cases occurred in Calumet County, they will be handled in Outagamie County, since the youths had home addresses in Outagamie, police said.

Menasha brought Consolidated Papers and Menasha Corp. into the suit even though they were not originally named as defendants. Laux praised Consolidated Papers as being "a responsible corporate citizen" in accepting significant responsibility for cleanup costs. If the settlement is approved, the city will "try to substantially reduce, if not eliminate, its outlay through a combination of contributions from Menasha Corp.

and our insurance coverage," Laux said. A Madison law firm hired to defend against the federal lawsuit is confident the city's final share of costs "will be significantly reduced" from the $1,125 million settlement figure, Laux said. Menasha Utilities dumped nearly 1,200 tons of fly ash from its coal-fired steam plant at the site in 1972-73. Subsequent testing found lead and chromium contamination at the site, substances naturally found in coal that becomes concentrated to toxic levels in ash residue. EPA officials believed the most urgent concern at the site involved the PCB cleanup.

The remedy chosen consisted of removal of PCB-con-taminated waste, on-site treatment of PCB contaminated water mixed in with the waste, and the soil cover.
