Six people killed in van crash
JANESVILLE, Wis. (AP) — A van carrying I4 young people selling
magazine subscriptions door-to-door overturned on a highway today, killing
six passengers and injuring the others. Witnesses said bodies were strewn
over the highway.
The victims, all between 16 and 21, had been heading to a hotel in
Janesville when the accident happened about 12:30 a.m. along Interstate 90.
70 miles southwest of Milwaukee, said Sgt. Brad Altman of the Wisconsin
State Patrol.
The victims were from Wisconsin, Kentucky, Oklahoma. Kansas. Nebras-
ka and West Virginia, Massachusetts and Florida, Altman said. Police did not
immediately release any victims' names.
The driver apparently lost control of the van. police said. The vehicle had
been traveling eastbound at high speed when it veered off the right side of
the road, came back onto the pavement, then rolled over twice and came to
rest in the middle of the highway. Altman said.
The van apparently was traveling at least 80 mph. Altman said.
TWelve people were thrown from the van, Altman said. Six were pro-
nounced dead at the scene, and six others had critical head injuries, he said.
"It was a horrific scene," Altman said.
Dan Wichser, a paramedic called to the scene, said he and his partner had
to drive past the accident scene in the westbound lanes to circle back to the
crash.
"We went past it and my partner said. Oh my God. are those all bodies in
the road?' And I said. T believe they are.'" Wichser said.
"There was just several bodies everywhere," Wichser said. "There was
one person in the van and one person in the squad car that had walked away
from it and 12 other people laying in the road "
None of the victims were wearing seat belts, Altman said. Charges were
pending against the driver, he said.
Police found a small quantity of marijuana in one of the victim's purses,
but Altman would not say whether drugs might have contributed to the crash.
A fireman described the accident scene as "a mess.”
"I don't know what happened but the van overturned and when we got to
the scene there were bodies laying everywhere," said Wayne Achterberg, a
fite truck driver for the Edgerton Fire Department
"The van ended up on its wheels in the road." Achterberg said. It had
overturned, "and then of course the bodies were strew n all over the roadway
for probably 50 feet."
The young people were selling magazines for an organization called Yes,
said Lt. Varla Bishop of State Patrol in DeForest.
"It's like your police officers' worst nightmare to come across an accident
like this and not know who these people are," Bishop said. "With kids in this
age group you know there's some parents out there wondering where their
children are."
The van had no license plates. Bishop said. Police have identified sever-
al of the victims, but some were not carrying any identification, said State
Patrol spokesman Tony Paulson.
Marsha Martin, a nursing coordinator at Janesville Mercy Hospital, said
four people were brought there after the crash She said two men and a
woman, all in their early 20s, were in critical condition, and a 19-year-old
woman was treated and released. One person was taken to University Hos-
pital in Madison, and was in critical condition, said Kit Soper, a nursing
supervisor. Soper said two others were taken to St. Anthony Medical Center
and one to Memorial Hospital, both in Rockford. III.

Dear
Abby
By ABIGAIL
VANBUREN
DEAR ABBY: Why in the world
does "Sick of Scraps" care what kind
of paper her friend uses to correspond
with her? Does she share her mail and
is somehow embarrassed ' I don't get
it. In this age of faxes, cell phones and
e-mail, "Sick of Scraps" should be
tickled pink she's receiving letters.
Perhaps her friend's finances have
not kept pace with inflation.
Does "I love you" mean any less if
it is written on the back of an old
memo or newsletter? On a more prag-
matic level, using scraps of paper
helps the planet by recycling paper.
The amount of usable paper we throw
out every day borders on obscene
- PAULINE HG. GETZ,
ATTORNEY. SAN DIEGO
DEAR PAULINE: It occurred to
me that the friend might have been
using "memo pads, odd pieces of
paper or whatever appeared to be
available" for economic reasons.
That's why I suggested that "Sick of
Scraps" send her friend a box of sta-
tionery. Read on:
DEAR ABBY: "Sick of Scraps"
seems to be more interested in pretty
paper than she is in her "cherished
friendship." Personally, if my friend
wrote letters to me on scraps, I’d be
more concerned for her financial
needs After all. they’re both in their
70s and are most likely retired. Has it
even occurred to "Sick of Scraps" that
her friend might not wish to burden
her with such information?
Your response to send a box of sta-
tionery didn't even address that
woman's rudeness to her friend. Your
suggestion bothered me because there
have been times when I couldn't
afford even cheap stationery, but I still

wanted to be in touch with my dear
friends. True friends don't judge the
book by its cover (or the letter by its
paper). Didn't you notice how petty
her complaint was?
I’m only 43, but I'm thankful
for my cherished friends and whatev-
er way they choose to stay in touch.
~ JONI KELLY.
NOIANVILLE. TEXAS
DEAR JONI: The woman wasn't
rude to her friend. She addressed her
concerns to me. And as to whether !
noticed that her values might be
skewed in the wrong direction, I
advised her that a 36-year friendship
should be more important to her than
the kind of paper (stationery) that sus-
tained it across the distance.
I agree, true friends don't judge a
book by its cover -- or the letter by the
paper on which it is written. Read on:
DEAR ABBY: The letter from
"Sick of Scraps" reminded me of how
the correspondence between my
mother and her sister deteriorated as
they both sank deep into dementia.
Relatives of the elderly would do
well to read "The 36-Hour Day"
(Johns Hopkins University Press). It's
an excellent treatise on dementia.

MARTINEZ CALIF.
DEAR KIRBY: Thank you for
your succinct and thought-provoking
note. It hadn't occurred to me that
either of the women might be suffer-
ing from mental impairment. Now
that you have pointed it out, I agree
it's worth considering since the
woman's behavior changed abruptly
four years ago.
Early filers helping
Tax Commission
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) —
Oklahomans are out of the blocks
early this year in the race to file their
income tax returns.
Only 2 1/2 months into the tax sea-
son, more than 659,000 taxpayers
have already filed their returns, an
increase of 14 percent over a year
ago.
"Taxpayers who are filing early are
actually helping us out," Tax Com-
mission spokeswoman Paula Ross
said Wednesday.
She said that of the 1.4 million
returns that are filed each year, more
than 500,000 are filed the week of
April 15, the last day to send in a
return.
"By filing early, taxpayers can
expect to have their returns processed
at a quicker pace than if they wait to
the last minute," Ms. Ross said.
