City stat Wisconsin State Journal, Friday, March 27, 1987 Page 2, Section 3 6vh aspirants show "facts, differences Bayer Aspirin capiet 100's EEsiF7 wn reg.4.70 GE Soft White Bulbs By George Hesselbcrg Of The State Journal If there were a 6th District trivia quiz, the top finishers might be the two candidates for that district's council seat who happened to share a couple of folding tables at the Atwood Community Center Thursday night In a sort of who-knows-the-most-about-the-district forum, candidates John Hendrick, 33, and Simon Karter, 43, quibbled to a draw. Both are attorneys. But the one-hour give-and-take showcased enough differences to silence those who say the two are simply carbon copies, neither an original They looked and dressed differently, but the near East Side 6th District has always welcomed diversity, so no points were gained by either on that mark. with a silver widow's peak, wore a grey herringbone sportcoat with black wingtips, blue shirt and no tie. Karter, not low-key, with curly black hair, was casual in red plaid flannel shirt, blue jeans and jogging shoes.

As to the forum, both men delivered detailed answers to questions about everything from closing down the Sportsmen's Bar (both in favor) to non-partisanship in city elections (both in favor, though Hendrick has the endorsement of the Labor ano Farm Party) to how to get city help for businesses in the district On that question came one difference: Hendrick endorsed getting the city to take a "pro-active role," going out and getting something done and not waiting for neighborhood organizations to come up with ideas. Karter said the opposite should happea The district should come up with ideas first and get government support of that, instead of having to approve of someone else's plans. Another pointed difference came out on city expansion beyond the the "magic sewer line," which means beyond the border where city services currently exist Hendrick is in favor of such a moratorium, period, until the year 2010. Karter wants no expansion unless the service cost is made up in increased property tax by whatever is built Hendrick criticized Karter for unfairly "making fun" of Hendrick's city government meeting attendance boasts. Karter criticized Hendrick for unfairly "making fun" of Halter's neighborhood activity pedigree.

Three times, Hendrick referred to Community Development Grant Funds that are needed in districts like the 6th, and implied Karter favored using up to $1 million in CDBG money for a convention center. Karter lost his temper briefly on that charge, protesting that he had never favored such a use of CDBG money, a proposal included in a convention center financing report that Karter said was simply "an idea floated by some idiot at city hall" The idea is a touchy one, since Hendrick is in favor of a "Yes" vote on the convention center referendum, which in referendum-speak means a "no" to a convention center. Karter favors a "No" vote on the referendum, which, he says, means only the process of planning can continue. The crowd of 40 filled the center and was well-behaved. The next 6th District forum is Tuesday starting at 7 p.m.

Papermate Pen that McDonald's attorneys also wanted the entire case, including the conviction, vacated. "When the facts are undisputed, whether justice requires vacating all proceedings before McDonald's suicide is a question of law," Gartzke wrote. "We hold that justice does not so require. We therefore dismiss the appeal with no direction to vacate any of the proceedings against McDonald." The first-degree murder conviction of the late Circuit Judge Daniel McDonald will not be vacated, the state Court of Appeals ruled Thursday. The 4th District court dismissed McDonald's appeal calling it moot, but said justice does not require clearing the record of his conviction.

McDonald, 43, committed suicide by a drug overdose in March 1986 in prison at Waupua He was serving a life term for the Although a 1984 Court of Appeals decision vacated a man's conviction after he suffered a fatal heart attack while his appeal was pending, that reasoning "is inapplicable when the death is a suicide," the court said. Someone who chooses death while his appeal is pending deprives himself of a final decision on his case, and justice does not require vacating a conviction when the defendant himself prevents review, Gartzke wrote.

Messy kitchen leads to attack A dispute over a messy kitchen in a downtown apartment building led to a threatened stabbing and two arrests by Madison police Wednesday. Police said Lazaro Ramirez-Zambrena, 37, of 337 W.

Main St, became upset when another apartment resident accused him of making a mess of the kitchen that the resident had just cleaned. Then, Ramon Anzardo, 30, of 202 N. Pinckney St, who was at Ramirez-Zambrena's apartment threatened to kill the resident slashed at him with a 10-inch knife and chased him down two flights of stairs, police said. At the bottom of the stairs the resident slammed a door against Anzardo, stunning him. He then shook the knife loose and held Anzardo for police.

Anzardo was tentatively charged by police with endangering safety by conduct regardless of life and carrying a concealed weapon. Ramirez-Zambrena was tentatively charged by police with disorderly conduct East Side home loses goods About $9,700 in jewelry, cash and stereo equipment was taken Wednesday afternoon during an East Side home burglary. Police said burglars smashed a patio window in the 800 block of Woodlawn Drive between 1:20 and 2 p.m. Wednesday, then helped themselves to merchandise in the home. Jogging may be causing sway Joggers, not aerobic dancers, may be making the ceiling sway at a UW-Madison gym, a UW architect said Thursday.

Horst Lobe said the results of vibration tests conducted at the Southeast Recreation Facility (SERF) wont be available until next week. But he said a visual examination showed that it may be runners on the balcony track, not dancers on the gym floor, who are making the ceiling trusses sway. Lobe said the tests were conducted during two aerobic classes. He said that the dancers didn't seem to be affecting the ceiling, "but when a half dozen runners went by, the ceiling members started moving." Earlier this month, the UW reduced aerobic classes from 300 to 150 after reports that the ceiling in the four-year-old gym was moving. Violence down in Madison town Violent crimes in the town of Madison decreased by almost 20 percent in 1986 from 1985 levels, while property crimes declined about 6 percent according to statistics released by the state Council on Criminal Justice Wednesday.

The violent crimes of murder, rape, robbery and aggravated assault dropped from 91 to 73. Property crimes of burglary, theft motor vehicle theft and arson dropped from 651 to 611. Town police administrator Louis Barth said the decline was due to community awareness and involvement and hard work by police. Wisconsinites get less from top The federal government spent less money per person in Wisconsin in 1986 than it spent in every other state except North Carolina, the Census Bureau said Thursday. The federal government spent an average of $2,546.74 for each Wisconsin resident This included the $196.72 paid by each state resident to Wisconsin federal workers, the lowest in the country.

Alaska was the leader with $5,091.13 per person in federal spending.
