WAUKESHA - Despite her name, Pepper has what safely can be called a sweet disposition.
Surrounded by a score of criminal justice students Monday at Waukesha County Technical College in Pewaukee, Pepper enthusiastically made the rounds, greeting each student, checking out each bystander and generally settling down in the middle of the crowd on hand to meet her.
What s more, she loves kids, her handler said.
It s that disposition, along with the ability to respond to 60 canine commands, that makes her an ideal trained companion and an important new part of Waukesha County s Victim Witness Assistance program, officials say. We are excited to say that we have hired a very good girl, said Jennifer Dunn, director of the victim witness program and Pepper s handler for its facility dog component several years in the making. More importantly, she is calm and gentle and loves attention, especially from children.

The tale of Jamaican excellence is old as the nation itself. Jamaicans in the diaspora have achieved stratospheric feats in numerous arenas, be it academia, sports, performing arts or otherwise. Twenty-year-old Elyseia Brown is a member of the diaspora who has distinguished herself not only on the local stage, but overseas as well.
Hailing from Bridge Water in Westmoreland, Brown is presently a student enrolled at the prestigious Monroe College in New York. She is an honors student, pursuing a major in Criminal Justice and a minor in Psychology. Her decision to pursue Criminal Justice and Psychology stems from her desire to represent the underserved. In addition, her zeal for understanding the human psyche and behaviour further impelled her desire to pursue these degree programmes. While her academic profile takes ultimate priority, she has a long-standing track record of participating avidly in co-curricular activities and leadership.
