Monday, November 22, 1993 Daily Citizen Page 3 Milwaukee crime totals drop Despite figures, public believes streets aren't safe J' if 1 -1 A' sA 4 MILWAUKEE (AP) Police statistics show a drop in city crime, but violent homicides have sharpened residents' concerns about personal safety, officials said. A survey published recently showed 96 percent of the respondents felt crime here has increased, although only half thought the increase was in their own neighborhoods. IN EA LIT Police Department figures show crime for the first six months of the year was 14 percent less than for the same period in 1992. Federal statistics for 1992 listed Milwaukee with the seventh smallest crime rate among 48 cities with populations exceeding 350,000. Murder gets the most publicity, however, and police reported 139 Milwaukee homicides as of Friday, 10 more than for the same date in 1992.

"The savage individual crimes, even if they're few and far between, are the ones that scare people most," Police Department spokesman Earl Quezaire said. 'Looking at the statistics, you can see there has been a nationwide drop" in crime, Quezaire said. "That does little to erase the perception that our country is going to Hell in a handbasket" THERE WERE candlelight vigils and gun-control press conferences in the days following a fatal shooting Tuesday outside a fast-food Congregation, told mourners. POLITICIANS CITED herslaying while furthering their demands for gun control. Most of the proposed legislation is aimed at pistols and regulating their sales by licensed dealers.

The sawed-off shotgun that killed Schweiger belonged to the father of the youth's 15-year-old companion. James Fcndry, director of the Wisconsin Pro-Gun Movement, argues that restrictions on sales could deprive victims of defensive weapons. The only thing frightening to criminals "is retribution on the spot, people who can fire back," Fendry said. Ruth Varnado, director of aneighborhoodcom-munity center, urges the public to watch for crime and note it in diaries that can be used by police. "The question is, do you want to let an individual push you out of your neighborhood or are you willing to stay and fight it?" she said.

WHILE REPORTS of rape, burglary, battery, arson and car theft are down from 1992, the higher murder rate "gets all the attention. That's the area that causes people to fear for their safety, Alderman Marvin Pratt said. "It's hard to erase the emotional image of a mother shot in front of her daughter," Timothy Sheeny, presidentof the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce. fit jf i Hi Fisherman's search continues today KENOSHA, Wis. (AP) Kenosha County authorities will resume their search today for a fisherman whose overturned canoe was discovered on Silver Lake.

Rescue teams searched unsuccessfully during the weekend for Steven Boll, 42, who was reported missing about 5:20 p.m. Friday. Authorities discontinued their search at sundown on Sunday because of darkness and strong winds, said Kenosha County Sheriff's Lt Lee Copcn. In addition to Boll's canoe, some fishing equipment was also recovered. Lumber company's warehouse destroyed MADISON, Wis.

(AP) A lumber warehouse was destroyed by fire and a storage shed was heavily damaged near Monroe. It took firefighters nearly six hours to battle a blaze at the Fish Building Supply on the outskirts of Monroe Sunday. Fire crews were called to the store on Highway DR about 3 p.m. and found one of the three warehouses at the site engulfed in flames, according to Monroe Fire Chief Tom Casey. The warehouse destroyed was about 100 feet by 180 feet in size.

The main Fish Building Supply store was not damaged, Casey said. Firefighters were on the scene until about 9 p.m. Sunday. Nobody was injured in the blaze and the cause was still under investigation, Casey said. No damage estimate was available.

Hunter discovers Christine Schweiger, 35, had stepped out of the restaurant wilh her 10-year-old daughter when approached by two youths demanding money and her carry-out bag of fried chicken. Police quote one of them, 16 years old, as saying he shot Schweiger in the head because she insisted she had no money: "I got the gun. Why does she have this attitude?" Police Chief Philip Arrcola called the youth typical of adolescents who feel firearms make them "more powerful." Arrcola asked "what influences of society are impacting the imagination of youths?" Other victims during the week included a man beaten to dcaih on the north side, apparently by two assailants using bricks; a north-side woman who was strangled before her house was set on fire; a University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee professor who was slabbed to death in his apartment About 200 mourners attended Schweiger's funeral Saturday.

(AP) Valentine Bueno says he wakes in die middle of the night.certain his 17-year-old son has just walked through the front door. Then reality sets in. Bueno's only son was slain almost 10 months ago, but he still hears the teenager's voice and sees his face in a crowd.

"I think about my son all the time, about how they killed him just because they wanted his jacket I can't forget it," Bueno said. THE KILLING has put him in debt and made him fear for his life, worried that allies of those who slaycd his son will do the same to him. Jay Hering knows the feeling. He was with Valentine "Roy" Bueno Feb. 1 when teens from Waukegan, got out of their cars and beat them with a golf club and baseball bats.

Today, fear compels Hering, 16, to spend much of his time indoors. The few times he does go out, his father, Robert, drives him. That's the way both of them want it. 'What's this done to Jay?" asked Robert Hering. "Well, he used to be a happy-go-lucky kid.

He was always outside, doing something with his friends. And now? Now, he's just a homebody." The Bueno family was poor before Roy's death. His father's only steady income was the $520 he got each month in disability, and much of that went for the house payment and child support Now, Bueno owes another $3,800 to the hospital and doctors for trying to save his son's life. Bueno said those responsible for his death should have to pay the medical bills. HERING REMAINS bitter.

He fantasizes about revenge. "I'm still angry; I mean, really angry. If I ever met one of those kids on the street, I'd go off on he said. "Then, when I was finished I'd stand over them and ask him, "So, how does it Hering sleeps with a shotgun next to his bed. He.

also acquired a .22 caliber rifle. Since his son's death, Bueno has kept a baseball bat in his kitchen. Five of those convicted have been sent to prison, with ranging from 10 to 25 years. A youth accused of striking the fatal blow faces trial Dec. 6.

An autopsy was planned today at the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's office to determine how Lisa A. Papara died. Police were called Sunday afternoon after a neighbor and a building manager used a key to enter Papara's apartment. The woman lived alone, police said. Investigators stopped short of saying Papara was murdered, but said they were seeking evidence of foul play.

"There was some blood there. We don quite know where it came from," Sgt. Kurt Wahlen said. "She was lying face-up on her couch." New welfare cases have Illinois ties MADISON, Wis.
