'BOOT' GETS ANOTHER DAY IN COURT

BOB "BOOT" SCHUH will be back in Madison next week. Currently living in a 
federal prison in Michigan, Schuh will be here Wednesday for resentencing 
by U.S. Judge John Shabaz, whose original 19-year sentencing of Schuh - the 
former Jocko's owner - on drug charges was partially vacated by a federal 
appellate court last month in Chicago.

The appellate court tossed the portion of Schuh's sentence asserting he had 
a leadership role in the drug dealing at Jocko's.

Schuh's appellate lawyer, Robert Henak of Milwaukee, said Schuh was very 
pleased by the ruling. "We both were," Henak said Wednesday. Henak said 
that federal guidelines dictate Schuh's new sentence at somewhere between 
10 and 12 years. "He's also eligible for a 16 percent reduction in sentence 
each year - after the first year - for good behavior," Henak said. That 
works out to between 51 and 53 days a year. Along with receiving a revised 
presentence report, Shabaz on Wednesday will hear arguments from 
prosecutors and Henak before pronouncing the new sentence. Since his 
incarceration Schuh has been active in the November Coalition, an 
organization devoted to rethinking the wisdom of lengthy prison terms for 
nonviolent drug offenders. ...

JEFF RICHGELS' front page Cap Times feature earlier this month about a 
Belleville firm's long T-shirt - designed to cover "plumber's butt" - was 
picked up by the Associated Press and exploded worldwide, the shirt's PR 
guy told Richgels in a letter this week. "I have done interviews with the 
Australian Broadcasting Corporation, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, 
a rock radio station in Dublin, Ireland, and two interviews with the 
British Broadcasting Corporation." ... The Harmony Bar's annual golf 
tourney to benefit the Atwood Community Center will be Sunday at the 
Bridges, but you can bid on the silent auction items all this week at the 
Harmony. Among the cool auction items: 10 clubhouse passes to this year's 
Western Open golf tournament. Tiger Woods will likely be in the field for 
the tournament, which begins July 4. ...

Speaking of the golf tour, Madison's Jerry Kelly talked to the New York 
Times Tuesday about his decision to buy a time share in a private jet: "I 
arrived at a tournament once and had half an 8-iron," Kelly said of the bad 
old days of flying commercial. ... The lone media star at the recent mayors 
shindig, David Broder, took note of Monona Terrace in the last of his 
syndicated dispatches. Citing Charleston Mayor Joseph Riley's comments on 
the importance of good architecture in public buildings - security be 
damned - Broder noted that Monona Terrace "was designed by Frank Lloyd 
Wright. ... It has sparked a commercial boom and construction of new 
lakeside condominiums, one of which will soon be the home of Madison Mayor 
Susan Bauman." Actually, Bauman will be across the Square. ... One last 
mayors bit: Milwaukee banker Dennis Kuester, whose M&I bank just bought St. 
Louis' Southwest Bank, heard that St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay was in 
Madison Friday, drove over, bought Slay dinner here and told the mayor what 
a good community citizen M&I bank is. ...

With Oprah Winfrey's book club now a closed chapter, author and former 
Madisonian Ann Packer got the next best thing last week when Diane Sawyer 
launched a book club on ABC's "Good Morning, America," and tabbed Packer's 
"The Dive from Clausen's Pier" - much of it set in Madison - as the first 
selection. ... Another former townie, Richard Woychik, a world-famous 
geneticist who got both his undergrad and graduate degrees from UW-Madison, 
was just named director of the world's largest mammalian genetics research 
institution - the Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Maine. ...
