I 24 THE CAPITAL TIMES, Tuesday, March 13. 1984 Fitchburg'' welfare director objecte to salary ratim job in which the guidelines are already spelled out, yet the Young study considers the assessor in a higher classification. Melby says the committee will be studying the assessors position, and notes that even if the classification is approved by the council, employees have 30 days to lodge complaints about their new job status. determine if a person is eligible to receive aid," and we have to make our own decisions whether to award aid. But according to the personnel committees classification, Presby supervises programs with guidelines that have already been established, so she doesnt actually interpret policies.

The committee says Presby selects resources allocated to her department, and provides those resources to her clients which is considered a lower level function than interpreting policies and setting up programs. There are choices, decisions, and judgments in every single job, according to the classification system, says Aid. Laverne Forest He says her judgments are rou Personnel committee chairman Aid. John Melby says the disagreement is probably the most significant objection raised to the city's new The pay scale is linked to the personnel study, performed by Arthur Young and Associates, which bases job ratings on an employees responsibilities for making decisions. The study uses the importance and scope of decisions made to determine an employees job rating.

The broader the decision-making powers, the higher the rank. Employees who make decisions affecting the direction and scope of the entire bureaucracy rank highest but in the citys case, those decisions are made by the mayor and the city council, so no employees fit the category. The next level involves implementing policies once they have been set, establishing programs, and allocating resources towards their completion. The next lowest area of responsibility involves making decisions about how those programs will be carried out, interpreting policy directives from above. Much of the disagreement between Presby and the city centers around the kinds of decisions she has to make.

Presby claims that because welfare requirements are often so vague, much of what she does is interpretive. She says it takes quite a while" to tine. Youve got to make a professional judgment, not whether there will be rules or guidelines, but whether this person meets the vague criteria already established. Presby's attorney, Richard Lehmann, says Presbys job is comparable to other city jobs that are classified higher. Lehmann says the study fails to include the skills and experience necessary in making Presby's dally decisions.

A person in this position has to chart a balance between giving away the store and being so stingy that you wind up being sued and picketed. Once youve developed this skill, it makes the job seem easier, he says. He points to the city assessor as a By DAVID CALLENDER Capital Time Correspondent FITCHBURG The citys welfare director says a new rating of her job and Its commensurate pay level Is lower than It should be. Welfare director Bernice Presby says an evaluation of her job, included In the city's recently completed personnel study, didn't take into account the professional expertise needed to screen applicants. The pay level at which Presby is ranked, according to the personnel committees preliminary recommendations, is about $17,000 a year, but she asked last week to be ranked one level higher, with pay of about $22,000 a year.

and 17, 1904 3,000 cases reported since the disease was first discovered in the U.S. in 1979. Eleven of those cases have been in Wisconsin. Ongoing research has so far linked AIDS to diseases including -T-cell leukemia, which affects cellular immunity; a disease related to mono-neucleosls that swells the lymph glands; and a rare form of cancer that normally affects the skin but in AIDS patients rages through every body organ and does not respond well to chemotherapy. 1 A Doctors have also identified what Maki called a syndrome, a condition where patients suffer enlarged lymph nodes in the neck and arms, fatigue, fever, night sweats and weight loss.

Most of the people periencing the pre-AIDS syndrome have been able to fight off the eventual onset of AIDS, but several of them have passed it on to others through blood or sexual contact, he said. Maki said the only good news about AIDS is that the intense amount of research being devoted to it may provide links to curing other diseases, even cancer. Weve learned an enormous amount in a small time about cellular immunity. What were learning about AIDS may be an important step in learning how to prevent cancer, he said. vere infections and cancers, Maki said, are those suffering from leukemia or organ transplant patients who have lowered immune defenses.

In a UW Hospital Perspectives on Health lecture, Maki said the best way to prevent AIDS for both gays and heterosexuals is eliminating casual sex, limiting the number of sexual partners and avoiding regular drug use or sharing needles. Although the risk of contracting AIDS from a blood transfusion is about one in a million, Maki said high-risk people. Including non-monogamous gays, heterosexuals with multiple partners, drug users, Haitians or anyone with an unexplained disease, should avoid donat-ing blood. AIDS has become the second most common cause of death in hemophiliacs because they use blood-derived clotting agents produced from pooled donor blood. Maki said the incidence of AIDS, which he called a syndrome rather than a disease because we dont know what causes it, has doubled every six months since reporting begaa We are truly in the midst of a national epidemic.

At this rate, well have 30,000 cases by 1985. -According to Maki, AIDS is not a highly transmissible disease. If it was, wed have hundreds of thousands of cases by now, instead of the Dan on 'Thrust sought A legislator has asked the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection to restrict the use of isobutyl nitrite, which was allegedly involved in the bizarre death of a ML Horeb attorney earlier this ear. Rep. James A.

Rutkowski, D-Hales Corners, asked the agriculture department regulate the substance because the Controlled Substances Act, which regulates narcotic and illegal drugs, prohibits controls over substances that are marketed over-the-counter, under state and federal law. He said an avenue by which the state could regulate the chemical was the Hazardous Substances Act, administered by the agriculture ment. That law enables the state to ban unsafe toys and other potentially hazardous consumer products. The agency has already begun reviewing isobutyl nitrite for possible regulation, said Jane Jansen, assistant administrator of its Trade and sumer Protection Division. c.i NOBODY COVERS HOME LIKE ns cnaTOTuKs To subscribe, call 252-6363 Gscfth Rejigs By KAYE SCHULTZ Capital Times Staff Writer Healthy people have an exceedingly low risk of contracting Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome even if they come into contact with AIDS patients, according to the head of the University of Wisconsin Medical School infectious disease section.

Although the syndrome kills, 'up to 90 percent of its victims withfti five years, To develop AIDS, you need a partially damaged immune system," according to Dr. Dennis Maid, wh has treated several Wisconsin AIDS patients. Male homosexuals, who magp up 71 percent of AIDS victims, may have weakened or damaged their Ibodys immunological system by exposing themselves to sexually transmitted diseases, Maki said. Drug users who inject, another high-risk group, are susceptible to hepatitis and other illnesses from contaminated needles. In a strange twist, those who develop AIDS succumb to organisms that are usually harmless or nonexistent in humans.

They are found to have Cryptosporidium, a parasite usually found in calves that causes severe diarrhea, or toxoplasmosa, a viral infection usually found in ats. The most common cause of death in AIDS victims is a severe pneumonia that develops slowly and eventually impairs lung function.

The county and representatives of AFSCME Local 65 the union representing highway, airport, Expo center and zoo employees failed to reach agreement following two days of mediation which ended Monday. Last month, the countys largest employees union, the 720-member Joint Council of Unions, announced it was seeking binding arbitration also.

Some of the unresolved issues, including wage increases and health insurance, are the same in both cases. Darold Lowe, AFSCME staff representative to Local 65, said the county has offered a 1.4 percent wage increase over a one year contract, but that the union is seeking a 3 percent hike. The county, he said, is seeking to put a dollar cap on health insurance payments. The union, though, wants to continue having the county pick up 90 percent of the cost of its members health insurance while the employees pick up the rest but with no dollar cap on the figure. Another unresolved issue, he said, involves working conditions and future pay for the Vilas Park Zoo employees who were transferred from the city to the county last January.

Official defends Waupun overtime The Associated Press i The extra wages that the Division of Corrections says were paid to Waupun State Prison officials when Thomas Israel was warden represent justifiable overtime because of staff shortages, a spokesman said Monday. Randall Kahelski, a Waupun major who says he authorized $27,339 in overtime for three captains, said that fyhatever they were paid, they earned, and probably gave the state half again as much time for nothing. 1 The concern over the overtime pay is the second controversy to be resurrected from Israels tenure as warden at Waupun since Israel was fired by the divisions administrator, Walter Dickey.

Israel moved from the wardens job to an administrative post in Madison last summer. Last week. Health and Social Ser vices officials released a report given to Dickey by auditors questioning the supervision of a concession and coupon business which Israel allowed inmates to develop in the 1970s. Stephen Kronzer, Dickeys deputy administrator, said Monday that problems with allowing Waupun officials to schedule themselves foi overtime were discovered after Israel was removed as warden. 4.
