La 50 cents MADISON, WISCONSIN HOME FINAL MONDAY, APRIL 8, 1996 I i Booze gets blame in snowmobile fatalities i 1 Snowmobiling has increased in popularity in Wisconsin and so have accidents. A study by the Associated Press found that nearly half of those killed on snowmobiles were legally drunk. By Robert Imrie Associated Press WAUSAU Nearly half of the 200 people killed on snowmobiles in Wisconsin over the last decade were legally drunk, and all but one-third had some alcohol in their blood. The victims were young, mostly men not yet 30, who crashed in the dark of night, mostly against trees in northern counties while riding snowmobiles as fast as 90 mph on trails and lakes with no speed limits and few traffic cops.

Nine of the drunken snowmobilers killed were too young to legally drink, including two teens on a night of whats common to the sport tavern-hopping, a way to be sociable and warm up. These outlines of lethal snowmobiling came to light in a review by the Drifters Corral until the bar closed at 2 a.m. They were the last to leave, a bartender told investigators. An autopsy showed Miraglias blood-alcohol level was 0.310 percent, triple the legal limit of 0.10 percent, making him nearly comatose. A 140-pound man has to have eight drinks in one hour just to reach the falling-down drunk level of 0.20 percent.

The laborer from rural Hayward drove his snowmobile through a stop sign, into a snowbank, through a picket fence and into a tree in January 1993. He and his passenger, 30-year-old Kevin Lindsay, had been drinking at doubled his state pension and allowed him to retire with more than $81,000 in an account to buy health insurance in retirement. In 1995, Roshell earned $77,645, or more than twice what he would have earned had he still been in the Senate.

Based on income, he was earning $37,186 an hour, state experts have calculated for The Capital Times. Roshell, 63, said he didnt take Thompson's appointment to improve his fringe benefits. I was just tired of the political B.S., he said in an interview. He said Thompson several times earlier had offered to appoint him to an administrative post. Roshell said he would not have sought re-election in 1994.

A bout with prostate cancer which doctors say they caught in time convinced him to get out and enjoy retirement, Roshell said. Yet the three years in the bureaucracy will help him in retirement. He had accumulated 165 days or 1,320 hours of sick leave, according to state records. A new bonus plan, which took effect one day before he retired, added Continued on Back Page By Matt Pommer The Capital Times Marvin Roshell retired from state government this winter, taking with him a fat package of benefits provided by state taxpayers. Roshells experience is an example of the opportunities available to Wisconsin legislators, and offers one hint of why Wisconsin governors are so powerful.

Being a Wisconsin legislator is supposed to be a part-time job. But only seven states California, New York, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Illinois and Ohio pay their lawmakers more. Legislators in Wisconsin now earn $38,056 per year. They'll get a 3 percent increase next January. But the base salary makes up just one component of the lucrative benefits long-serving legislators and other state politicians receive.

Roshell, a Democrat from Chippewa Falls, served 14 years in the state Senate before Republican Gov. Tommy Thompson appointed him administrator of the Division of Safety and Buildings in the Department of Industiy, Labor and Human Relations in early 1993. He resigned from the Legislature to go into the bureaucracy. Republicans then won his seat in a special election that spring, giving them control of the Senate for the first time in 19 years. For Roshell, the appointment more than This bunnys for real I I I I I Good employment news sends Dow sliding in early trading 3 I I I fi 4 I I I I i NEW YORK (AP) Stock prices plunged this morning following a weekend of worry for investors after word Friday that the economy created more jobs than expected in March.

Signs of economic strength raise the likelihood that further Federal Reserve interest-rate cuts might not be forthcoming. That concern pushed the Dow Jones industrial average down 131.87 points more than 2 percent to 5,551.01 by noon today. Stocks are simply catching up with Fridays bond market, said James Solloway, research director at Argus Research. The employment report pretty much eliminated any near-term hope of easing. In fact, it looks like a lot of observers have turned in the opposite direction and are fearful of tightening.

Trading began with the so-called sidecar rule in place, which limits trading in the Standard Poors 500 stock-index futures contract on the Chicago -Mercantile Exchange. The sidecar is imposed when the contract falls more than 12 points. Trading curbs were also imposed by the New York Stock Exchange on Big Board trades within the first seven minutes of trading. Michael LaTronica, market analyst at Gruntal Securities, said he was encouraged because today's sell-off was executed primarily by professional traders, not individual investors or mutual funds.

The last four bombs from the Unabomber were mailed from Northern California, including two postmarked in Sacramento. The New York Times, citing unidentified federal officials, reported today that records from Sacramento hotels tie Kaczynski to the dates investigators believe that bombs and letters to news organizations were mailed. The lawyer who told the FBI of the Kaczynski familys suspicions said today they never sought assurances that the government would waive the death penalty. Kaczynskis mother wasnt told of the suspicions until about two weeks ago, said Tony Bisceglie, lawyer for Kaczynskis brother, David. She expressed her sincere belief that Ted could not be the HELENA, Mont.

(AP) Two people remember seeing Unabomber suspect Theodore Kaczynski in Northern California, and federal investigators reportedly have placed him there on dates when bombs were mailed from the region. He looked like one of those bums who come in in the morning and. have a sandwich and cup of coffee and walk out, said Mike Singh, a Burger King manager in Sacramento, Calif. Frank Hensley, a desk clerk at the nearby Royal Hotel, told the Associated Press he saw Kaczynski in the neighborhood near the bus depot. He said Kaczynski stayed at the hotel two or three times over the past five years, usually in the late spring or summer, Hensley said.

If it wasnt for all this, Id be expecting to see him about now, OKLAHOMA CITY Bombing suspect Timothy McVeigh said hes never touched a bomb and wants to testify at his trial so jurors know me and not what theyve read, Time magazine reported. People have to realize that 90 percent of the case that people think they have, it has all been through nonverifiable leaks, McVeigh was quoted as saying in the magazine's April 15 issue, due on newsstands today. And I think you would be surprised how much those leaks are bogus. Especially through eyewitnesses, he said. The interview with McVeigh took place in a federal prison in El Reno, last month just before he and fellow suspect Terry Nichols were transferred to Colorado, where they will be tried.

In the interview, McVeigh maintained his innocence in the April 19 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City that resulted in the deaths of at least 168 people and injured more than 600. McVeigh and Nichols face the death penalty if convicted of federal murder and conspiracy charges. McVeigh, now in a federal prison near Denver, also said he has been seeing a prison psychiatrist. The conditions were getting to me.
