fulfilled her life and died at home surrounded by her husband and children on Saturday, April 24, 1999. She was born Mary Elizabeth Hill on February 11. 1918 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to Kathryn and Jay Milton Hill. She graduated from Holy Angeles Academy in Milwaukee and subsequently from Clarke College in Dubuque, Iowa in 1940. She met her husband Anthony J.

Richtsmeier in 1936 and married him on May 9. 1942. In 1943, they moved to Madison where her husband was a house officer at the of Wisconsin Hospitals until December of 1943 when Dr. Richtsmeier was sent over seas to serve in the Army Medical Corps: First Army Field Units. Following World War II, they resumed their life together in Madison where her hus said he had to try three different bait-and-tackle shops before finding one that still sold fishing licenses.

"Don't expect to purchase your license on your way to your favorite fishing hole," he said. "I don't think it's a case that people aren't going to be able to get licenses. I just think it's an extra hassle." The new DXR sy stem uses people's Social Security numbers to issue a ide variety of state licenses, from hunting licenses to permits for raising ild rice. Meyer said businesses should be able to sell only the licenses they want to. "It just doesn't make sense that a local sporting goods store has to offer permits for grow ing wild rice and ginseng, just to sell a couple of fishing licenses," he said.

The DNR uses the Social Security numbers to identify people who are behind in child-support payments. Anyone who is more than three months behind is denied a fishing or hunting license. The system also has drawn criticism as a violation of people's privacy. "A lot of customers are really gung-ho about not giving their number out, so you spoil their day, they spoil your day, and everybody gets real hot and bothered about it," Verdick said. People can now call (877) a toll-free number, or go to a store to buy their permits, a DNR employee said.

There are about 1.400 stores that sell licenses. ILL Lodi Madison Lyndon Station Madison Token Creek DeForest Fennimore Lancaster Stoughton-Maquoketa.

There are as many as 800 fewer places to buy licenses due in large part to the Department of Natural Resources' new computerized license system, said Rep. Mark Meyer, D-La Crosse. Many businesses, like Bob's Bait and Tackle in La Crosse, decided it was too much of a hassle to sell licenses on the new system, which requires a $250 deposit for the necessary equipment "Basically, you're paying for the machine to sell fishing licenses," Bob's ow ner Mary Verdick said. When Bob's offered permits on the old written system, Verdick said, she could let customers fill out their ow paperw ork hile she helped other customers. Under the new system, which went into effect last month, vendors must enter all of the customers' information into a computer.

And Verdick said she can't afford to hire another full-time employee just to sell licenses. Meyer is a trout fisherman who Schmidt, Roger L. REEDSBURG Roger L. Schmidt age 70, of Reedsburg, died unexpec tedly on Saturday, April 24, 1999 at his home. Funeral services will be conducted at 11:00 a.m.

Planner Continued from Page 1B a dichotomy of people who want a big-city feel and those who would really rather live on 5-acre farm-ettes. "People haven't decided what the look and feel of the city should be like," he said. "(Madison) is a small town that is growing up." dinger succeeds longtime director George Austin, whose name is often associated with the Monona Terrace Convention Center built during his tenure.

Austin now leads the private Overture Foundation. dinger doesn't see any projects to the scale of the Monona Terrace on the horizon, but instead hopes to make his mark on the city through smaller successes. "If you do a number of small projects very weU, the overall effect can be very dramatic," he said. His proudest accomplishment from his 15-year planning career in Dayton is the revitalization of an area destroyed by riots in 1966. "We had a lot of people tell us that it wasn't going to happen, and we made it happen.

And we did it one house at a time," said dinger, noting that a house in the neighborhood recently sold for $175,000. As recently as three years ago, houses were going for $5,000. Olinger sees Madison's Bassett neighborhood, southwest of the Capitol, as having similar potential. He's particularly fascinated with the 6-acre parcel on Bedford Street vacated by J.H. Findorff Son.

Olinger doesn't propose any sweeping changes to the city's master land-use plan but says it's important to continually reevaluate and improve existing plans. "I don't think that anything is ever done," Olinger said. Among the issues he'll keep at the forefront are development issues on the east and west fringes of the city, efforts to maintain the vibrancy of Dow ntown, affordable and student housing issues. East Washington Avenue revitalization efforts and day care issues. Described by coworkers as lik able and "a good guy," Olinger says he'll manage the department much as it has been managed in the past He'll let unit directors lead their units and focus his attention on being a conduit between the mayor and planning staff, providing council and technical exper tise to the mayor and setting a vision for the city, dinger said.

(dingers) been a person that's been very good to work with in the past couple of years, and I look forward to working for him in the future," said planning unit di rector Brad Murphy, who was dinger's supervisor for the last two years. Murphy did not seek the planning and development director job. Austin, who was director when Olinger came to Madison, is opti mistic aoout Dangers future as the city's top planner. I think he brings a package of knowledge, talent and good people skills," Austin said dinger is equally optimistic about Madison's future. Just as New York City left an indelible impression on him as a 5-year-old boy, the past two years Madison bave convinced him that "this is a great city.".
