HERALD TIMES REPORTER Monday, March 3, 2003A3 OBITUARIES Officials: State doesn't keep list of assets Bruechert Doyle's proposal to sell state assets Here's a look Gov. Jim Doyle's order to review state assets as it appears in his budget proposal: "Require the Department of Administration to conduct a comprehensive review of state assets that can be sold and deposit any net proceeds into the Budget Stabilization Fund." Source: Gov. Jim Doyle's "Budget in Brief," The Associated Press cause projected revenue doesn't cover requested spending. The budget pays for services such as education, medical assistance programs and the state patrol. Doyle's proposal covers the period beginning July 1, 2003.

The full Legislature has to approve the budget and Doyle has to sign it to become law. Department of Administration Secretary Marc Marotta said the asset review probably would still happen even if Doyle's proposal isn't part of the final budget. "It's worth spending the time to go through to see what we have," he said. State assets include highways, land, buildings ranging from state park outhouses to the state Capitol, office equipment and vehicles. sold.

The proceeds would go to rebuild the state's reserve fund, which stood at $1,598 Friday, according to the Legislative Fiscal Bureau. The reserve fund is used to cushion the blow of a budget shortfall during an economic downturn. Doyle said in an interview he had hoped to sell state assets to help balance the budget. But he discovered the state has no central inventory and couldn't rely on money from sales to balance the budget because he didn't know what could be sold. Instead, he proposed earmarking any proceeds from asset sales to the state's reserves, he said.

"It would be very helpful for us to have an inventory of them," Doyle said. "We're in the position when we came into office, what are the state assets? And they aren't there." Wisconsin faces a $3.2 billion shortfall for the period through June 30, 2005, be Shirley A. Shirley A. Bruechert, age 76, a resident of 1433 N.

Shirley was born July 10, 1926 in Manitowoc, to the late Gustav and Ruth Tollefson Viel. She graduated from Lincoln High School in 1944. For many years she worked at the Mirro Corporation and then at the Manitowoc Hotel. She was a member of St. Paul Ev.

The Potawatomi compact allows for unlimited simulcasting, a right the tribe promised last week it would not exercise as long as Dairyland, just 40 miles to the south, stays open. Dairyland will now seek that same removal of simulcast limits as part of its political agenda, Berger said. Currently, revenues from simulcasting cannot exceed those from Dairyland's live racing. Of 100,000 military personnel already vaccinated, two have been hospitalized by encephalitis, a dangerous brain inflammation.

Another went to the hospital for myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle. Seven others developed rashes, and one was treated for an eye infection. All survived. If Wergin were in the armed forces, she said her perspective would be different. "If I were in the military, heading for war in the Middle East, I would probably choose to be vaccinated, just in case," Wergin said.

"If I had been in active military I probably wouldn't have said no to anthrax vaccine, knowing you can 'weaponize' that particular bacteria."

Jim Doyle's proposal to find items to sell to bolster budget reserves. "It is sort of amazing government doesn't know what it owns or how much it's worth," said state Rep. Scott Jensen, R-Waukesha.

He said he has pushed the state to sell assets for a decade. The budget Doyle proposed directs the state Department of Administration, which oversees the budget and state agencies, to review the state's assets to see what could be Dairyland The Associated Press KENOSHA Dairyland Greyhound Park will take an aggressive legislative campaign to Madison in the coming weeks in an effort to keep up with the state's Indian gaming casinos, Dairyland executives said.

Today starts the state of Wisconsin's inoculation program of county health workers at 25 clinics. Wergin, along with three colleagues who have indicated their willingness to be revaccinated, are expected to show up at a clinic in Green Bay on March 21.

Will Wergin be there? "Probably not," she said, unless the compensation issues are resolved or, for the first time in 23 years worldwide, a case of smallpox is identified. There hasn't been a case of smallpox in the United States for more than 50 years. Last week, a 39-year-old Florida nurse developed a significant rash nine days after inoculation. The rash developed into scattered fluid-filled lesions that healed 15 days after the inoculation. "This event reaffirms the need for a compensation program to support health care workers and their contacts injured by the smallpox vaccine," said U.S.

Herald Times Reporter March 3, 2003 Time was not only devoted to drawing but also to being a part of the Taliesin community, Post said. Every morning for the first week, students made plaster from the river sand to repair the water damaged walls of the es-. tate's theater. Post would be lying if she said every minute, even the time away from drawing, wasn't beneficial. She's not the same person because of it.

Post said she was an introvert who was afraid of other's critical views before she "went to Taliesin. Her design project was going to reflect her own feelings of isolation, but as she changed into someone who found comfort among others, so did her design.

"It's a good way to find out more about yourself, the school and architecture." The three-week program was not a cushy summer camp, Post said, but more like a condensed version of college.
