THE POST-CRESCENT. APPLETON-NEENAH-MENASHA. WIS. MONDAY, JULY 9, 1990 Eiibbit: Swamp listeners hearing fewer frogs MOTS MILWAUKEE (AP) Volunteers wading through Wisconsin marshes to listen for the croaks, squeaks and chirps of frogs the sounds of a healthy environment seem to be hearing fewer of the amphibians, officials say. The Department of Natural Resources calls its annual audio survey the only one of its kind in the United States.

It serves to check scientists' fears that pollution leaves an increasing number of wetlands without frogs. Randy Kolb of Appleton, one of 50 volunteers taught with a tape recorder to distinguish the sounds of the state's 12 frog species has been participating for about 10 years. "Ifs really simple," said Kolb. "If anybody spent 20 minutes with the tape, they could say, Yeah, that" a wood frog." DNR wildlife biologist Larry Gregg said the not an accurate census, the volunteers' reports wildlife. allow scientists to rate an individual wetland's apparent viability.

TO APPLETON TAXPAYERS OPEN HOUSE RE: Assessment Rolls Notice is hereby given to the taxpayers of the City of Appleton, Wisconsin, that the assessment rolls for the year 1 990, will be open for inspection and examination at the City Assessor's Office, the assessment rolls being in his possession. The Open House period for such examination will be for the period of July 1 6, 1 990 to July 20, 1 990, during the following hours at the City Assessor's Office at City Hall, 200 North Appleton Street, Apple-ton, Wisconsin. "We depend Mossman said. on that system ultimately," "Wetlands are a kind of sink for the contaminants that enter the environment," he said. Because frogs breathe through their skins, they are among the first creatures to suffer when pollution drains into lowlands.

A marsh where frogs are no longer heard is rated zero. Separate calls give a marsh a rating of one. Overlapping calls are worth a rating of two, and a cacophony of croaking is worth three. "Those numbers are a general indication of how many frogs are calling at each site," Kolb said. Frogs are an important element of water habitat, DNR researcher Michael Mossman said.

They eat insects, including mosquito larvae, and serve as food for fish, turtles, birds and other Korb, 35, has been with the DNR survey since its inception. He visits about 10 sites three times a year in Brown County, calling it an enjoyable outdoor sport "Ifs a good family activity," he said. "You not only hear the frogs, you get owls and raccoons." In the last fewer calls. 10 years, he said, he has noticed It is "a very rare thing to find a field with a lot of frogs hopping around," he said. "It used to be common to find a lot of frogs.

Old timers talk about the bullfrogs that used to be along the west shore of Green Bay." Mossman said Wisconsin's best concentration of bullfrogs is now along the Mississippi River in the La Crosse area. yearly surveys indicate the frog population is decreasing.

The number of hours (of student broadcasting) is what we have to workout," said Thompson.

However, some students are unsure of the level of responsibility they will have under the new management. "Ifs way too early to qualitatively tell how much control students will have," said Niquette. WPR will broadcast network news and talk shows from noon to 6 p.m. under the new format, said Slaats. This will replace the student-run "Afternoon Concert" of classical music, but Slaats said that WPNE out of Green Bay would provide the Fox Valley with an afternoon classical music program.

This will not be the first time that a university has handed over its radio station to Wisconsin Public Radio. Last year, two student deejays locked themselves in the control booth of UW-Green Bay's radio station, WGBW, and cursed repeatedly on the air after learning that UWGB planned to give the station away. A security guard finally broke into the station and evicted the pair. Since student management has been a feature of WLFM for 34 years, the last thing we want to do is go flying off the handle," said Niquette. last of our intentions is to humiliate the station." since last year when a student disc jockey was suspended for an alleged drug-related joke broadcast over the air.

The WLFM Board of Control was charged by Lawrence President Richard Warch to recommend ways to improve the quality of programming and deejay decorum. "When Wisconsin Public Radio came in, they presented the administrative staff with some options they hadn't thought of," said Lawrence Associate Dean of Students Paul Shrode. Shrode said the WPR presence would provide students with a more professional working atmosphere and a "better resource for learning." Page said that although he was not happy with the prospect of being unemployed," the WPR takeover would "improve the public image" of WLFM. The decision, made by the Lawrence administrative staff, was reached during the second week of June. In a memo to the station, Thompson assured students that student broadcasting would continue and WE'RE PLANNING mim.

Bouwer Quickprint legal fees because he prevailed on only some of the charges and prolonged matters by appealing on some of the issues which eventually were dismissed.

Awarding the fees will not further the purposes of the Fair Employment Act, Williams contended, and will encourage insubordinate employees such as Gerow to file claims. The judge responded that it cannot seriously be argued that Gerow could be made whole for the discrimination, as the act requires, if he must pay more than $20,000 in fees. While one can break this matter down to nine issues and argue that the complainant prevailed on only two, the fact remains that Gerow claimed he lost his job because of illegal discrimination and prevailed on that claim," Olstad wrote. "It would be ironic if Gerow could prove that his employment was illegally terminated, collect full back pay, and yet have to pay his own attorney fees because he was only two for nine." The judge also found it was not shown that a strategic decision by Gerow's attorney, Billie Pirner Garde of Appleton, to appeal the initial probable cause findings was a bad faith effort to delay the proceedings. "There is no question but that Ms.

Garde provided superior representation, obtained an excellent result and, as far as the undersigned observed, made every effort to conserve the time of all concerned," Olstad wrote. 734-9997 FAX 731-6050 annual interest dating back to his Oct. 21, 1986, firing. Gerow suffers from dyslexia, a learning disability which makes it difficult to recognize words. He is unable to read.

The Judge found that a negative evaluation Gerow received on Sept. 30, 1986, was discrimination in violation of the Wisconsin Fair Employment Act because it included a notation from Charles Bongers, director of buildings and grounds, that Gerow claimed to have dyslexia though there were no medical reports to confirm it. Within a week of Gerow telling him he had filed discrimination charges against the district, Bongers closely scrutinized work for a week in October 1986 and then recommended he be fired. The judge ruled that was illegal retaliation for Gerow filing the complaint, although not necessarily discrimination for his handicap. He found the district did not discriminate against Gerow based on handicap when it demoted him during the summer of 1986 or when it gave him a series of disciplinary warnings that fall, but rather there was evidence of poor work performance by Gerow.

The school district's attorney, Edward Williams of Oshkosh, argued that Gerow should not be awarded 304 N. Appleton St. Appleton, Wl 54911 Radtke was restored. James D. Jordan, Waupaca, and cneryi a.

Outagamie County Circuit Judge Dennis Luebke ruled a year ago that the annexation boundaries constituted "an arbitrary overreaching" by the city. He rejected the city's contentions that it needed to bring in the additional property to control roadways and a drainage ditch to the Marketplace.

He agreed with the town that the city had not met the judicial "rule of reason" for depriving the property owners of a say in determining in which municipality their property would lie. Luebke's ruling was upheld by the Wausau-based 3rd District Court of Appeals in May.

Utecht said town officials have orally indicated they will not oppose this annexation.
