But we didn't have computers to analyze the data that it sends back until cently," Rizzo said. Using the $2.5 million Doppler technology, computers now calculate both the speeds and directions of severe storms. By providing information on wind patterns in developing storms, forecasters can identify conditions leading to bad weather. "The biggest threat to life and property are the short-term events tornadoes, floods. This will help us do a better job of predicting when they will happen," Kapela said.

"We won't cry wolf as many times as we did before." The National Weather Service wants to have a network of 160 Doppler radar towers across the country by the mid-1990s. A tower has been installed at Green Bay and another will go up in La Crosse next year. Doppler radar is only one part of a major upgrading by the National Weather Service, the second-most widely used federal agency behind the U.S. Postal Service. Other new technology includes a more powerful and sensitive satellite system.

"The new system will let us see cloud features that we cannot see now. We'll be able to watch thunderstorms develop," Kapela said. A system that will more than double the number of full-time surface weather observing stations nationwide. The system works non-stop, updating observations every minute, 24 hours a day. Forecasters say that getting more information on the atmosphere more often and from more locations is key to improving forecasts and warnings.

A new high-speed computer work station and communication network. It will be capable of receiving, processing and helping forecasters analyze huge amounts of weather data. The weather service says the system will improve accuracy and timeliness of warnings and forecasts. All of this will improve long-range forecasts out to 10 days. But the day of the dead-ringer forecast remains elusive, Kapela said.

"It's still an inexact science," he said. "We do all that we can." SULLIVAN (AP) It's bad enough that people call the National Weather Service on Monday morning, wanting to know for sure if the sun will shine Saturday afternoon. But sometimes, they call in October, wondering if it will rain next June 17. At 2 p.m. Really.

Just ask forecasters Ken Rizzo and Rusty Kapela. They've heard it all, especially when they're wrong. They know how emotional people can be about sun, rain and snow. They know how risky predictions are especially long-range ones. In 1960, the National Weather Service wasn't allowed to issue a forecast beyond 24 hours.

Nowadays, its 24-to 48-hour forecasts are right about temperature and precipitation three out of four days. After 48 hours, accuracy falls off again. As for 30-day or 90-day forecasts, the weather service won't even attempt them. "We don't claim that everything will happen the way we say it will," Rizzo said. "The atmosphere is constantly moving around the whole world.

It's going over oceans, mountains and volcanoes where there are no weather observers. Things are always changing." Still, cement contractors, farmers, sailers almost everyone count on the National Weather Service to give them a forecast and to give it to them right. Now, forecasters are banking on new technology to pump up their accuracy. Sullivan's weather station showcases some of the newest radar and computers around to help the 15 meteorologists there provide updated state and area forecasts every six hours. The office moved from Milwaukee's Mitchell Field in 1989 to rural Sullivan because a hill at the site was ideal for locating a Doppler radar tower.

The tower, which looks like a giant ball on a grid, reaches 1,022 feet into the air, higher than any surrounding hills. At the top of the tower, electromagnetic energy pulses at the speed of light from a rotating satellite dish. Precipitation is sensed in a broad area of the atmosphere, north to Green Bay, west of Madison, south to Chicago and east to mid-lake Michigan. LaVerne E. Werner, 74, of Oshkosh died Tuesday Jan.

When he woke up after surgery, he found doctors had amputated his leg to save his life. He stayed 10 months in Wil-lowbrook Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Lake Mills. And during his stay, Schatzschneider kept right on reading. "There were seven of us who loved to read," he recalled. "They had a woman who worked there and she'd go to the library and get books for us." After he was released, his sister-in-law came to live with him.

She helps him run his home, but more importantly, she makes regular book runs. And that's not an easy task, since Schatzschneider finishes six books every 10 to 12 days. She doesn't have trouble picking out books, however, because Schatzschneider said he'll read darn near anything. "I like westerns. I like murder mysteries.

I like both fiction and non-fiction," he said. Schatzschneider's favorite author is Danielle Steele. He's read every large-print book the library has by Steele and eagerly awaits her next novel. He's also read a lot of biographies of famous persons. "Mickey Rooney, now there's one to read.

He had eight marriages. I read Liz Taylor's, too. That's almost as bad," he said. FORT ATKINSON (AP) A book a day keeps the doldrums away. That's the philosophy that Clarence Schatzschneider seems to live by.

The Fort Atkinson man has read 3,319 books 1.2 million pages of text since Feb. 1, 1978. That translates into about 75,000 pages a year, 210 pages a day or a book every two days. Schatzschneider says he's always been an avid reader. "I've always loved to read, from a child on," Schatzschneider said.

"I have speech trouble. I would never get up in front of a class. I'd write notes and I'd read." He started reading in earnest when his doctor told him he could preserve his eyesight by reading after he had lost sight in his right eye and had a cataract removed from his left. He started recording the books he read in 1978 when a teacher he knew told him his father had done that until he passed away. Schatzschneider had to turn in his driver's license when his vision became so poor, but he kept on turning pages.

"I haven't driven a car for 12 years. When I turned in my driver's license, that was the saddest day of my life, excluding the day my wife passed away," he said. "That's taking something away from a person that they can't live without." But losing his license didn't stop his trips to the library.
