22 THE CAPITAL TIMES, Madison, Tuesday, March 1 1 988 The Area From Staff and News Services i jff ill County panel urges boost in county exec's salary Dane County's next county executive could get a pay hike amounting to more than 22 percent over the next five years if the County Board adopts a salary schedule approved by the board's Personnel Committee Monday night. The current salary for the county exec is $43,500, with an already adopted raise up to $45,000, effective on the first day of the next executive's one-year interim term in ApriL Under the plan approved Monday, the salary would increase by $5,000 in April 1989, when another election will be held for a full four-year term, with raises of $1,500 to $2,000 each year until the salary reaches $55,000 at the end of that term. The salary plan was developed by a special subcommittee which tried to objectively assign numerical values to the duties of elected officials in county government. The panel recommended raises for all officials except Dane County Treasurer Elizabeth Salmon and District Attorney Hal Harlowe. Salmon bristled at the prospect of no pay hike, telling the committee in a letter that its system was "pseudoscientific" and "nothing but socio-graphic voodoo." The county executive pay plan will go to the full County Board Thursday night.

Rats teach 4th-graders nutrition The Associated Press JUNCTION CITY, Wis. Pairs of rats getting junk-food and school-food diets are teaching fourth-grade students more than a book could about the value of good nutrition, their teacher says. Sue Hall said she hopes her science students who feed and weigh the rodents are learning to say "rats" to junk food. The students at Kennedy School have been feeding two of the rats junk food and another two school lunches for about a month. Monday, for example, the rats named Sweetie and Boss Hog munched on French fries and a candy bar, while fellow rodents Rascal and Casey dined on salad, asparagus and a hamburger casserole.

"It seems like children sort of know what they're suppose to be eating, but you're wondering if it has any impact," Hall said. "With the kids doing this, they notice the difference and begin to verbalize. "They'll say things about the rats The Associated Press Fourth-graders at Kennedy School in Junction City, located a few miles northwest of Stevens Point, are learning how junk food wreaks havoc on rats. on junk food like 'Boy, are they she added. Each day, students assigned to "rat patrol" go to the school cafeteria to select a nutritious lunch from the menu for Rascal and Casey and soda, potato chips, candy or greasy foods for Sweetie and Boss Hog, she said.

The children monitor the rats' weight and notice how they behave with different diets, Hall said. The rodents nibbling on school lunches and sipping milk and water gain weight steadily, are calm and have shiny fur and alert eyes, she said. "They let the children pet them," UW says it worked hard to keep geneticist The University of Wisconsin insists it worked hard to dissuade geneticist Oliver Smithies from moving to the University of North Carolina with $500,000 in annual grants. "I'm very sad to be leaving," Smithies said Monday, "but I'm looking forward to working with my new colleagues." He declined to elaborate on reasons for his departure, saying: "Money had nothing to. do with it." There were published reports he was displeased that fellow genetics researcher Nobuyo Maeda, 37, had not been assured tenure.

Maeda described as Smithies' "significant other" is a postdoctoral fellow in Smithies' laboratory and has worked at the UW since 1978. The two leave in July for professorships at Chapel HilL N.C. The move affects about 20 associates. "We certainly did our best to try to keep Oliver," Robert Bock, dean of the UW Graduate School, said in an interview. "It was (Maeda) who wanted a faculty position and she didn't win the positions she sought here," Bock said.

she said. But the junk-food rats both gain and lose weight, do not finish meals and race around the cage when the children try to pick them up to be weighed. Hall, who has taught the six-week rat lesson on nutrition eight other times, said she watches for signs the rats are becoming too ill and switches their diets if necessary. From Page 21 Off-duty police officer reports theft, ends up getting attacked Board conceal a pair of shoes under her sweatshirt. Draeger notified a store employee, who relayed the information to the store's manager.

After being confronted, the woman threw a pair of shoes at the manager and left the store, followed by the two males. Once outside, Draeger reported that she was about to identify herself as a police officer when the woman ran toward her and struck her several times with a can she was carrying. A struggle ensued, and the woman dropped a jacket, which contained a gun. The woman eventually managed to get inside a car driven by Jones and leave the area. Authorities identified the woman through a Wisconsin ID card found in the pocket of the jacket left behind when she fled.

Madison police then broadcast a description of the car and its license plate number to other police agencies, and the car was stopped at 7:10 p.m. near Janesville by the State Patrol. Only Jones and the juvenile were in the car at the time. By SHARON D. PITMAN Capital Times Staff Writer An alleged attempted retail theft in Madison late Monday afternoon led to an attack on an off-duty police officer and the arrest in Rock County of two other people involved in the incident, authorities said today.

Arrested on tentative charges of being party to an attempted retail theft and obstructing a police officer were Michael A. Jones, 23, of Rockford, and a 16-year-old of Rockford. A Beloit woman who allegedly attacked off-duty Madison police detective Linda Draeger remains at large. Police say they know her identity, but they refused to release it until a warrant was issued for her arrest. The incident began about 5:30 p.m.

Monday when Draeger was shopping at Famous Footwear, 4280 East Towne according to police reports. She allegedly saw the Beloit woman who was accompanied by Jones and the juvenile dead center." In his memo, Fullin, writing for himself, Baum and Smith, stated, "Discussion and decision-making regarding the compensation package for an employee group of over 100 persons is important public business which should not be conducted behind closed doors unless significant countervailing values are at stake. We fail to see what those values are. "We will not attend or participate in any meetings on the administrative pay plan which exclude the public. We stand ready to meet with other board members in open session to discuss this subject," the memo concluded.

Arnesen added, "It's ironic that the school board should be doing this" when students are taught about democracy and majority rule. "I think it's too bad. It's sad that we've come to an issue that people can't discuss as we have in the past. When the majority prevails, then you still participate," she said. "It is a poor precedent to set and it colored the whole issue" of the action the board was considering, she said.

Patterson leaves: The departure of Assistant Schools Superintendent Jerry Patterson offers a "golden opportunity" to consider filling the job with a minority applicant, said school board member Smith. Patterson, the second-highest education official in the Madison district, announced Monday that he had been chosen to head the Apple-ton school district. He will leave Madison July 1. Patterson, 43, was named assistant superintendent of instruction for the Madison district in 1979. Prior to that, he was principal of Orchard Ridge Elementary School and a curriculum coordinator for the Memorial High School attendance area.

He will replace Appleton Superintendent Randy Dewar, Delavan officials reveal allegations against cops DELAVAN Concealing marijuana, playing tag with patrol cars and making love to a woman "on top of a squad car" are among misconduct allegations filed against suspended police officers, town officials say. They also charge that Police Chief Robert Peyer provided information to a man whose nightclub was under investigation by police and the Internal Revenue Service. When the Police and Fire Commission suspended Peyer and four police officers last month, it insisted the allegations were confidential and refused to make them public. But Wayne Polzin, town chairman, detailed the accusations Monday, saying town officials wanted to avoid being challenged in court by news media under the state's open records law. No criminal charges have been filed.

The commission has scheduled personnel hearings for March 21. State tax on gasoline will go up April 1 Wisconsin's gasoline tax will increase 0.9 cents to 20.9 cents per gallon on April 1, Revenue Secretary Karen Case said today. The gasoline tax is based on an indexed formula that considers the impact of inflation, road construction and fuel consumption. Attempts to repeal the indexing for two years have been rebuffed in the CapitoL Last year the Legislature enacted a two-year suspension of the indexing, but Gov. Tommy Thompson vetoed that action, effectively restoring the automatic tax increases.
