"MANY TIMES, they (farmers) may be eligible for some of the financial aid that is available, but often times, they're too proud to take advantage of that," Kaiser said. Lastly, the agent works as a researcher on agriculture-related concerns. "There's maybe too much research being done today," Kaiser said. 'The latest one I saw now is that Mexican food contains way too much fat." However, an overwhelming body of information following studicson the Bovine Growth Hormone or nicotine's alleged link with cancer, for example, can become almost conclusive for or against using a product, he said. But frequently, wrong assumptions are drawn from one study that's been conducted with incorrect data over too short a period of time, the agent said.

"It (the study) gets a lot of press," Kaiser said. "But, we find over time that some of those early studies had some flaws to them. They weren't really the concrete answer that the researcher promoted at one time. "So, take that with a grain of salt," he concluded. "The only thing that's black and white in this world are the Holstein cows that are standing out there." JUNEAU As dairy agent for Dodge County, Bob Kaiser says he wears several different hats.

One of those hats is to serve as cheerleader or ambassador for the dairy industry. "Dairy farmers are some terrific folks, and I'm truly privileged to work in a county where we rank fourth in the state and 18th nationally in dairy cow numbers," Kaiser, of the University of Wisconsin-Extension, told the Dodge County Board of Supervisors Tuesday. DAIRYING IS the largest single agricultural enterprise in Dodge County, with cash receipts from dairy products totaling $112 million for fiscal year 1992, he said, noting that livestock contributed cash receipts of $39,919,000 and crops, $31,579,000. What's more, there are 967 dairy farms in Dodge County with an average herd size of 60 cows and average production of 14,900 pounds of milk per cow. Kaiser indicated.

Another hat the agent wears, is that of teacher educator. "That's what the Extension does," Kaiser said.

My objective is really to help people help themselves." A third hat, he said, is that of troubleshooter and problem solver. "I get involved with issues like stray voltage, and health disorders in cattle," Kaiserexplained. "We've come off of a couple of years now where we've had some microtoxin problems molds and fungi that are growing in some of our crops.

The toxins that they produce cause the health disorders." A controversial issue right now, he said, is antibiotics in milk. "It's one where I think the industry has really come of age and ihcre is absolutely no tolerance of antibiotics in milk," Kaiser said. "This is something that you (consumers) can rest assured that every load that comes into the plant is tested. If there's a difficulty, that load is dumped. Sometimes we need todoa little detective work to come back and find out just what the problem was." As a counselor and social worker, he sometimes helps families cope with the loss of their farm in tough economic times.

"There are some farmers who don't make it," Kaiser said, adding he is involved in "Counseling them out, helping them through a bankruptcy, a financial difficulty, perhaps." As a result of the very wet growing season last year, many area farmers, he said, experienced financial difficulty, predominantly due to poor crop yields 15 Years Ago, 1979 The John Matthews family of Nashville, appearing in churches across the United States and Canada, performed a gospel music concert at the Lowell United Methodist Church. 10 Years Ago, 1984 James Huberty, San Diego, slaughtered 21 people at a McDonalds the nation's worst massacre title. cratic ticket.

No increases planned for BD police force By MARK KLOSSNER Staff Reporter OSHKOSH. Wis. University of Wisconsin-Osh-kosh officials announced the students who qualified for the dean's list and the honor roll. To Qualify for the honor roll, students must take at least 12 credits and earn a of James and Susan Hewitt, 414 Parkview Drive, Columbus, was among the 166 students who received degrees at commencement exercises at Mount Mary College in Milwaukee.

Another issue that the committee discussed is the various work responsibilities that Beaver Dam police officers had other than normal police work, and if these responsibilities affected normal patrols. This includes the delivery of packets that contain meeting agendas, and other information for council meetings, to city aldermen. Alderman Jeff Kohman said that he liked the idea of officers delivering the packets.

"There is some information in those packets that is vital to keep out of the hands of just anyone," he said. "I like the idea of police officers delivering the packets." Although the responsibilities are becoming greater for Beaver Dam police officers, the department is able to handle its normal duties without hiring more personnel. At least for now. That was the decision reached Tuesday by the common council's personnel committee. Aldermen considered the issue after renewed calls for additional police protection and police activity in the community, especially in the downtown area and through the school district.

Beaver Dam Police Chief Larry Huettl told the committee that the experience rating of the department has gone up 83 percent in the last five years. He said that the experience rating is a collection of statistics that measure the overall jobs that police officer has had to perform over a period of time. 1 SILVER CITY, N.M. Carolee A. Miller, Columbus, was among the students at Western New Mexico University named to the spring semester dean's list MILWAUKEE Kim Erdmann, Columbus, recently received a masters of business administration degree from Cardinal Stritch College.

Other committee members agreed. Huettl added that although the packet delivery was not normal police work, it did not affect the normal patrols very much, and that it would be continued in the future. HUETTL BROUGHT up the fact that there are some jobs that police officers perform that would not necessarily need to be performed by sworn officers. He said that if alternatives could be found for jobs such as ticketing for parking, recovering keys from locked vehicles, and performing the high school liaison officer's duties, some of the sworn police officers would be free to continue with more important duties such as patrolling. Huettl said that during busy periods the department has a hard time meeting demands for such tasks.

"Sometimes police officers are required to work overtime to carry out tasks," he said. Alderman Emmet Weber asked Huettl how the Beaver Dam Police Department ranked with other community police departments. "A rule of thumb is to have one police officer per 500 residents," Huettl said. "We have 28, so we are pretty close." grade point average (GPA) of at least 3.3 on a 4.0 scale. Those withaGPAof 3.75 or higher qualify for the dean's list.

Students that were named to the dean's list are: Jacqueline Bensley, Angela Luckow, both of Beaver Dam; Karen Youraiam, Cambria; Shelley Ochlert, Columbus; Janet Gretzinger, Fall River; Emily Simmons, Braun, May-ville; Debra Jung, Randolph; Torie Daane, Bonnie Homan, and Willard Manicr, all of Waupun.

MILWAUKEE Bridget G. Hewitt, daughter IN CALCULATING the experience rating of the department I use five different considerations," he said. "They are: One, the number of citations issued by the officers.

Two, the number of overall offenses. Three, the number of calls for service. Four, the number of adult arrests, and five, the number of juvenile arrests." He added that the higher the number in the experience rating, the more overall activity the police department has had. The main concern of the committee was whether recent changes in the police department's staff would affect the capabilities of Beaver Dam police officers to protect the community. Huettl assured aldermen that it would not He said that although there was a vacancy being created due to the changing of positions by one officer, the new position would also require street work by the officer and sjffrf?
