Famed drug officer to turn in his leash LOS ANGELES (AP) His expertise has been in demand all over southern California and his success is measured in millions of dollars, but Dandy Vom Sargau is retiring in January at the peak of his career. During his six years of sniffing out drugs for the suburb of Monrovia, the 9-year-old German shepherd has been on more than 400 cases and helped seize more than $1 billion worth of illicit drugs, said his handler, Monrovia Officer Rick Miglia "He thinks it's Miglia said.

"I don't think he's ever made a mistake," said Jake Jahelka of Canine K-9 Scents the academy that trained Dandy. Dandy even had a hand er, nose in the nation's largest cocaine bust After getting a sniff of a cardboard box found outside a Los Angeles warehouse, he went into a snarling frenzy. "His alert on that box was a port of the overall probable cause that led to the search warrant," said Drug Enforcement Administration spokesman Ralph Lochridge. Officers serving the warrant on the warehouse found 21 tons of cocaine Six people were arrested and $112 million in cash was seized. Dandy's reputation has spread so far that Monrovia has lent him to the Los Angeles Police Department, Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department, FBI, California Highway Patrol, the Secret Service and the Postal Service.

Life should be easier In retirement, when Miglia will keep his old partner at home. Loss of forests may not be so bad: study Gannett Newsservice Gearing tropical forests may not contribute to global climate warming as much as many scientists say, shows research by University of Illinois ecologlst Sandra Brown. Using a model she developed to determine the biomass of tropical forests, Brown found that those in South and Southeast Asia have about half the mass as previously thought, meaning they are releasing half as much carbon dioxide as previously thought Biomass is the total of plant organic matter since plants take carbon dioxide out of the air. the more biomass that's eliminated, the more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Burning of fossil fuels contributes about 6 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide a year to the atmosphere.

Brown estimates that deforestation emits about 1 billion tons. MOUNTCASTLE, Paul- November 30. 1989. Survived by granddaughter. Catherine Mountcastle of Nashville: grandsons, Mitchell Mountcastle of Albany.
