From Page 1 Pat Watson of Cardinal Glass, and currently president of the Portage Area Economic Development cited the work done by outgoing PAEDC members Gloria Kirking, Jim Bryan, Mel Bindl and Dan Lee.

Watson stated these people had a big part in the development in the city over the years, and in the city's success. Each of the former PAEDC members received a mantel clock in appreciation of their efforts. A plaque was presented to Trina Sarbacker who received the ambassador of the year award. A lively auction followed the dinner, catered by Stockade Restaurant, with auctioneer Vaughn Brancel officiating. Proceeds of the auction, will go towards the recently established PACC Portage High School Scholarships.

The auction became competitive, especially when a Green Bay Packers helmet, Winters, came up for bid. It sold for $1,000, more than any other of the donated items. Other high-bid items were a big screen television, an outdoor grill, Amtrak trip for two, a Lazy Boy and various computer equipment and services. One of the members of the PACC Scholarship Committee, who asked not to be identified, was extremely pleased with the outcome of the auction. He said the chamber had pledged four $500 scholarships to be awarded to graduates of either Portage High School or the charter school, and who will attend either a two- or four-year college.

Thirty-three students have applied and are now under review by the three-person committee. The committee member said the chamber decided late last fall to invest some money in the future of some of Portage's children, and the best way they determined was through scholarships. It was also stated that all of the applications for the scholarships are "very worthy." Plan. charged with underage the department since August 1997, said Chief Dennis Kluge. He has been on paid administrative leave since the investigation began in July of 2000.

According to the complaint, the alleged victim was participating in a ride-along on Nov. 18, 1999 in the squad car of Patrolman Mark Lee. In the Circus World Museum parking lot, the girl switched to Jorgensen's squad car. After she was in his car, Jorgensen asked the girl for oral sex, unzipped his pants and displayed his genitals, the complaint states. She did not comply, but they drove to an area near the former dog pound on Hill Street where she provided him with a condom, according to the complaint.

The two had intercourse at that time until he was interrupted by a call from the dispatcher. Blackwood reports Lee initially told her the girl stayed with him during the Nov. 18 shift and never rode with with an Jorgensen's court appearance set for next week BRIAN BRIDGEFORD CWN NEWS SERVICE BARABOO A city police officer faces possible criminal. penalties and disciplinary action after being charged last week with having sexual intercourse with an underage girl, once while on duty. Patrolman Eric Jorgensen, 29, of rural Baraboo, was charged with three counts of misdemeanor sexual intercourse with a child 16 or older in a complaint filed by special prosecutor Donald V.

Latorraca, an assistant attorney general based in Madison. The complaint follows an eight-month investigation by Special Agent Amy Blackwood of the state Division of Criminal Investigations. Jorgensen has been with Nicole Henderson and Mike Audiss, of Portage, had a daughter, Carlie Marie, on Feb. 21. Carlie weighed 7 pounds, 7 ounces and measured 19 inches.

However, this January he contacted the investigator and changed his testimony to say the girl left his car and went into Jorgensen's squad for the remainder of the shift. The complaint states that on Dec.

2, 1999, Jorgensen asked the girl to meet him at a relative's home after he finished his shift early. She met him, and they had intercourse again. In the final incident for which he faces criminal charges, the girl allegedly met Jorgensen on April 15 or 16, 2000 and he said he wanted to have sex with her. They met at the former dog pound, 710 Hill after he got off duty and had intercourse. The complaint contains additional allegations of sexual contact for which the defendant has not been charged.

The girl reported that in the two weeks before the Nov. 18 incident, she took rides in his private car. She reports incidents in which Jorgensen drove to places in Baraboo where he fondled her genital area and also attempted intercourse in or near the car. Based on testimony from two unnamed juvenile females, Blackwood reports Jorgensen suggested during conversations on different occasions that he, the 16- year-old and one or the other of the juveniles participate in a "threesome." A fellow Baraboo police officer told Blackwood that Jorgensen made repeated sexual comments about the 16 year old. On one occasion, he saw her on the street and said using "rather crude language," that he wanted to have sex with her, the complaint states.

If Jorgensen is convicted of one or more of the misdemeanor charges, each count carries a maximum penalty of nine months in county jail and a $10,000 fine.

COURT From Page 1 of oxycodone intoxication. Oxycodone is a prescription painkiller and a schedule II controlled substance. It is not clear whether or not James himself had been drinking at the party, although the coroner's report found no traces of alcohol in James' system. The original criminal complaint, which is based on Williams' statements to police, was filed by the state in May 2000. The court dismissed the first complaint which charged the three men with reckless homicide, but Dufour refiled an amended complaint in October 2000.

During the hearing Monday, defense attorney Alan J. White tried to prove that Detective Thomas Schrank, the officer who took Williams' statement on Feb. 11, 2000 regarding James' 1999 death, did promise Williams immunity if he gave "truthful" information regarding the events leading up to James' death. Dufour argued that Schrank did show Williams an immunity agreement, but Williams did not accept the offer. Wright rejected Dufour's argument, and instead, he told the court that regardless of testimony given by both Williams and Schrank on Monday, both of their statements could be taken to be "self-serving." 'He said the only way Dufour could prove that Williams denied the offer would be to produce a taped rejection, which Dufour did not have.

Attorney Christopher T. Van Wagner, lawyer for defendant Shane Northam, also requested the court consider a "Frank's-Mann" motion. The motion, Van Wagner said, focuses on two concerns regarding the amended criminal complaint. First, Van Wagner said, the amended complaint states the young men all "gave" each other the pills in the bottle. Van Wagner said this is a very different statement from the one used in the first complaint which suggests the young men all "used" the drugs.

Second, Van Wagner said, he plans to argue that between the time of the first complaint's dismissal and the filing of the second complaint, Dufour has added comments that appear to be fabricated or embellished in order to continue trying the case. Due to the length of Monday's arguments, Wright rescheduled the Frank'sMann motion hearing for Friday, March 9. COUPON OXFORD FOOD FUEL Hwy. 82 Oxford, WI Any 20oz Soda Free Good for and Only.
