‘She was Lucky’Friday morning on her way to work at Belle Plaine Junior-Senior High School, Carey Piam-piano hit a patch of ice about a mile northeast of Blakeley on Scott County Road 6 (Union Trail). Her sport-utility vehicle slipped into the steep ditch and rolled onto its roof. Piampiano, a special education teacher, was not hurt in the crash. “She couldn’t have found a worse place,” said Scott County Sheriff Kevin Studnicka, referring to the steep drop into the ditch. “She was lucky.”

The Belle Plaine School Board held its organizational meeting Jan. 7. The board includes (back row, from left) directors Mike Ludvik, Mike Daly, Matt Lenz, Superintendent Kelly Smith, (front row, from left) directors Judy Nagel, Matt Bigaouette and Gary Steinhagen.

Honored Life-SaversTuesday morning, Scott County Sheriff Kevin Studnicka (left) presented the Morris A. Miller Health Hero Award to Belle Plaine School assistant football coaches Jerold Stauffacher, Joe Ploetz and John Wellner and the Morris A. Miller Outstanding Service Award to Belle Plaine Police Offi cer Ben Pederson (far right). Their efforts saved the life of Ken Wick, a junior high football coach and the district’s IT director (second from right) after he collapsed during practice Sept. 11. When Wick collapsed, Wellner, Stauffacher and Ploetz ran to his side. They administered hands-free cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) after Stauffacher called 9-1-1. Pederson administered the fi rst of four automated external defi brillator (AED) shocks that returned Wick’s heart to its proper rhythm. Wick credits the four men and the use of CPR and an AED for saving his life. Ridgeview Medical Center paramedics and Belle Plaine fi refi ghters have since trained BP students in the use of CPR and AED. Hands-only CPR training is now a requirement for graduation from high school beginning in the 2014-15 school year.

Karl and Rosemary Kolden of Belle Plaine recently purchased the Belle Plaine, Arlington, Le Sueur and Henderson funeral homes from his parents, Darrell and Jane Kolden.

B.P. School Board Passes on Raise at Annual MeetingIn a year where there were no

elections and no new members to be sworn-in to membership on the Belle Plaine School Board, the annual organiza-tional meeting was more about formality on Jan. 7.The board unanimously named

Director Matt Lenz board chairperson for a second year, continuing a board practice of a two-year rotation as leader of the school board. Lenz is begin-

ning his sixth year on the Belle Plaine School Board.Directors named Matt Big-

aouette board vice chairper-son. Like Lenz, Bigaouette is beginning his sixth year on the board.Directors named Mike Daly

as the board’s clerk and Gary Steinhagen as the treasurer. They’ve served on the board for seven and three years, re-spectively.Directors declined to increase

board member compensation for 2013. Steinhagen suggested an increase of $300 annually, a motion that received no sup-port.“Nobody does this for the

money, but we shouldn’t do it for a loss,” he said. Steinhagen, a dairy farmer, pays someone to milk cows for him on school board meeting days.“The reality is there isn’t a tre-

mendous clamoring to be on the board,” Bigaouette said, adding that the level of compensation may discourage anyone from serving.Board members are paid

$1,200 annually, an amount that hasn’t changed in eight years. The chairperson is paid an ad-ditional $200. The vice chair-person, clerk and treasurer re-ceive an additional $150. They also receive an additional $50 for special meetings and $100 for all-day meetings. Directors

will be paid 56.5 cents per mile they drive to events associated with their roles on the board. The board typically meets

twice a month on Mondays. In additional to preparation for meetings, the actual meetings generally last one to two hours.Superintendent Kelly Smith

said Belle Plaine School Board members are paid on the “low end by what would be con-sidered average” compared to other area school boards. Jor-dan directors receive $2,500 annually. In districts with larger enrollments, Waconia School Board directors receive $3,100 a year. Directors on the East-ern Carver County (Chaska), Shakopee and Prior Lake-Sav-age Area school boards receive $4,000 annually.Pointing to the economic

impact the recession has had on area residents, Daly spoke against an increase in compen-sation. “I don’t mind being on the low end of average,” he said.Steinhagen and the rest of the

board OK’d maintaining direc-tor compensation at the existing level.In other organizational busi-

ness, the board tabled approval of board committee assign-ments until its Jan. 28 meeting.

My weekend reading lead me into a bit of a paradox. If you routinely read this column, you know I like to look and see what makes the day or week famous. This week, I learned that january 16 is “National Nothing Day”. This observance has run for 40 years. It was created to provide Americans one day in the year where there was no observance or celebration or a specific need to honor anything. At first, the idea seemed to make some sense. The more I thought about it though, the more it confused me. If we chose of observe this day, would we have, in fact, failed to do so. If I choose not to observe the day, I think I have observed the day.It may be something about the

day january 16, that causes things that make no sense. How well do you know your American his-tory? Do you know the what the 18th amendment to the constitu-tion was? The Volstead Act was passed to enforce it. january 16, 1919 was the start of prohibition of alcoholic beverages. Obvi-ously, it must have made sense to enough people at the time to pass into law. However, in the long run, it spurred a huge increase in criminal activities. The un-popularity finally lead to the 21st amendment which repealed the 18th amendment on December 6, 1933. If you wish to brush up on your American history, I suggest that you do a bit of reading. We will gladly help you. On the Minnesota history side,

the start of prohibition on janu-ary 16 caused Schell’s Brewery in New ulm, to invent their 1919 root beer to stay in business dur-ing the prohibition years. The Scott County Library offers

Private Pesticide Applicator Trainings Scheduled

Minnesota farmers will have three options for renewing their pesticide applicator certi-fication. In addition to complet-ing an open book test or an on-line test at www.pat.umn.edu, private applicators who need to recertify can attend a three-hour private applicator recertifica-tion workshop offered by the university of Minnesota Exten-sion in lieu of taking the test.Recertification by retesting is

also an option, as in the past, and no changes have been made to the testing option. Tests packets can be picked up at most county extension offices or the test can be taken online. A farmer who is not currently certified (i.e. getting the certification for the first time) is required to take the test and cannot be certified by attending a recertification workshop.There are many workshops be-

ing offered across Minnesota, with several workshops being offered in your area. The training site located in the

Belle Plaine area include:jordan: Wednesday, jan. 23

at noon – Scott Co. Extension Office, 7151 190th Street West – Suite 100.Cologne: Wednesday, jan. 30

tification workshop must have two forms of ID to attend a workshop, one being a govern-ment issued photo ID (i.e. Driv-er License), the second a cur-rent Applicators Certification Card (preferred) or another ID such as a credit card or library card. Persons who do not have their Applicators Card may ob-tain their applicators number (needed for registration) online at www.mda.state.mn.us or by contacting MDA via phone at 651-201-6633.Attending a recertification

workshop renews your certi-fication for three years. Work-shop topics will include pes-ticide laws and regulations, record keeping, applicator health effects, pesticide label comprehension, application equipment, pest management and endangered species. The cost to recertify either by at-tending a recertification work-shop or retesting is $50. Reg-istration for the recertification workshops will be taken at the door. No pre-registration is re-quired. Applicators who arrive more than 15 minutes late to a workshop will not be allowed to receive recertification credit.

Great River Energy to Hold Open House On Transmission Line Separate from CapX2020

Great River Energy will host one more open house meet-ings on today (Wednesday) for property owners and members of the public to learn about an electric transmission project the utility is proposing in Scott and Rice Counties.This project is independent of

the CapX2020 projects.The public is encouraged to

stop by one of the open houses to learn about the proposed proj-ect and the state of Minnesota’s permitting process, which will include further opportunities for public input.The proposed project consists

of rebuilding approximately 11.5 miles of existing transmis-sion line to operate at a higher voltage (115,000 volts), build-ing a new transmission line ap-proximately 5.4 miles long and permitting two miles of existing transmission line to operate at a higher voltage (115,000 volts).Communities that could be af-

fected by the proposed project

include portions of Credit Riv-er, New Market, Cedar Lake, Wheatland and Webster town-ships, and portions of the cities of Savage, Prior Lake and Elko New Market.A fact sheet that includes a

detailed map of the proposed project can be found at great-riverenergy.com/elkonewmar-ketclearylake.The proposed project is need-

ed to improve the reliability of the transmission system in the area and address risks associat-ed with low voltage and trans-mission line overloading. The project is also important for providing the capacity needed for economic development and growth in use of electricity in the area.The meetings are an opportu-

nity for the public and property owners to provide feedback to Great River Energy on the project and potential routing considerations before the util-ity prepares an application for a

certificate of need and route per-mit from the Minnesota Public utilities Commission (MPuC). The MPUC will make the final decision on the project’s need and route.“Public input is an important

part of the process,” said Great River Energy’s Senior field Representative Peter Schaub. “Great River Energy will con-sider public input when we are preparing our permit applica-tion and we encourage people to come to the meetings and have their questions answered.”Tonight’s open house will take

place at Prior Lake High School at 7575 150th Street West in Savage. No formal presenta-tions will be given. Attendees are welcome to stop by anytime between 6:30-8:00.Great River Energy is a not-

for-profit cooperative that pro-vides wholesale electricity to more than 1.7 million people through 28 member distribution cooperatives in Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Area School Districts Eying Earlier First Day of School Year

If the state will cooperate, students in the Le Sueur-Hen-derson and St. Peter school dis-tricts will be heading back to class in August.Superintendents in those two

school districts are seeking support from state lawmakers to move the allowable opening date for school to before-Labor Day, the traditional end of sum-mer vacation. The Le Sueur News-Herald reported the ra-tionale for the change would be aligning the end of semes-ter with the Christmas break. Currently, students come back from break and then finish the semester.Rep. Kelby Woodard and Sen.

Kevin Dahle, DFL-Northfield, both support the move if that is what the school boards de-sire. “Local school boards and superintendents are in the best position to make the decisions that meet the demands of their local community,” Woodard said. “As a result, the determi-nation of start dates should be made by local school districts

and not by St. Paul.”Dahle authored a bill that

would allow school district’s to set their own start dates during his first stint in the Minnesota Senate.“I did get a hearing but it did

not pass of course due to the heavy lobbying from the hotel and tourism industry. I am still in favor of allowing schools to set their own calendar and will support any legislative efforts to allow that to happen,” he said.Proponents of the calendar

change note starting school in August would give schools two weeks of additional time to prepare for state math, science and reading tests in the spring. Other advantages include closer alignment with college schedules for students in PSEO (post secondary educational op-portunities) and college in the schools programs.The earlier start date would

also create a mid-May end of the school year.A few years back, several

school districts in southwestern Minnesota moved to an earlier start date.Belle Plaine School District

Superintendent Kelly Smith was interested in the advantages of the plan. However, he needs support of school districts in Scott and Carver counties be-cause they share educational cooperative and special educa-tion programs.However, Le Sueur-Henderson

Superintendent Rich Hanson said the calendar he and St. Pe-ter School District Superinten-dent jeff Olson are supporting would make the Thursday and friday before Labor Day as no-school days, a move that would extend the holiday weekend.Olson reportedly believes

the proposal has merit, not-ing the state’s OK for districts elsewhere in the state to start before Labor Day. The North-field School District and other districts in Rice County are also reportedly interested in the pro-posal.

He’s a great listener and will guide you every step of the way.

Dear Editor,The NRA is afraid. They are

afraid that we finally understand what they are. The response of the NRA to the Newtown mas-sacre proves they are not listen-ing to the mothers of the world. To call immediately for teach-ers to carry guns in elementary schools instead of a thoughtful measured response proves they care neither for safety nor jus-tice. Their claim to be the protec-

tor of a strict reading of the constitution can not be believed in light of the evidence on our streets. It is now obvious the NRA has only two goals: sell weapons, and protect their power in Washington, D.C. It is time for the mothers of

this country to join together, and speak in a clear loud voice. Too many babies have died of gunshot wounds. The NRA spent $24 million

on the 2012 elections on top of $4.4 million to lobby congress. The headlines only 30 days after Newtown say congress will not ban assault weapons because of the NRA lobby. It is time to speak to congress in the only language they understand. Join Gabby Gifford’s PAC (ameri-cansforresponsiblesolutions.com). Give what dollars you can afford. If congress is only going to listen to dollars, then we need to speak with dollars.

Dear Editor,Common Sense vs HysteriaOn guns, we need common

sense rules. We have licensing and registration requirements for vehicles, why not guns? As a gun owner, a background check doesn’t bother me, I have nothing to hide, people against background checks must be hiding something...if “guns don’t kill people, people do”, then why not do background checks on PEOPLE? I don’t need a clip that holds

more than 10 rounds. People that need a large capacity mag-azine need more practice. I don’t believe civilians need

military weapons for “sport” or hunting. The basic AR15 is a military M16 that is not fully automatic capable, and will fire just as fast as you can pull the trigger, about 3 rounds per sec-ond. It can be made fully auto-matic illegally with a kit. It is a weapon and ammunition com-bo that was created to inflict maximum damage on the en-emy body it enters, as the bullet tumbles upon entry. One round shot into a pumpkin causes it to explode. There wouldn’t be much edible meat left on a deer if shot with one. Can you imag-ine what it would do to a six-year-old? There is no civilian use for ar-

mor piercing bullets, it’s what you’d need if hunting people. On “good guys with guns”

stopping “bad guys with guns”: On the day of the Col-umbine shootings, there were two armed deputies in the school before and during the shooting. The shooting didn’t stop until the shooters shot themselves. During the Tuc-son shooting there was a “good guy with a gun” present and he almost shot the unarmed good guy that took Jared Loftner down. The Clinton COPS program

was defunded by the GOP, showing we don’t want to pay for protection. Which teach-ers/classes are we willing to do away with to pay for armed deputies in schools? Some say we pay too many taxes for edu-cation already; does anyone have an idea on how to pay for armed guards, too?Eighty-five percent of children

killed by guns in the world are killed in the U.S. It’s time for clear thinking, common sense regulation. The NRA opposes all regula-

tion, even lobbying against basic checks against the Terror Watch List on gun purchases. National security doesn’t take prece-dence over their wanting to sell guns to terrorists. They use gun

control hysteria to sell guns and get contributions, it’s their business. Not much common sense in evidence.

Dear Editor,We live in the midst of small

town heroes. My husband has been on the BP Fire Dept since 2003. Through these years, I occasionally find myself feel-ing selfish. His pager goes off; he heads out the door, respond-ing to whatever emergency lies ahead, wherever he is needed.How many meals, activities, holidays with family, birthdays, kids’ sports, concerts, plays/productions, he misses. How many times we’re left stranded with no ride, or at a restaurant with his meal, left to finish the grilling/making of dinner. To be on the fire department,

police department, or a para-medic means the family as a whole commits. On a normal day, our family does that; we support my husband, their fa-ther. Often enough, however, those selfish feelings surface, and my husband reminds me that the individual at the other end of that call needs him more at that moment than we do. It was just a couple months

ago that I needed such a re-minder, and in more recent his-tory, on December 8, it became even more personal. Our own dad and grandfather was the individual that needed my hus-band, the firemen, policemen, and ambulance personnel more than I and our children did at that moment. And he needed more than even them; he need-ed our small town barber, Brad Schultz. Brad called 911 and began

CPR on Dad. Later Brad con-fessed that he felt his CPR skills were inferior to those of the paramedics and first respond-ers. To you I say, your “inad-equate skills”, hands-down, saved our dad’s, our grandpa’s, life. You brought his chance of survival from 0% to 50% the moment you used your hands on his chest. Your skills WERE adequate; they were exactly what Dad needed at exactly that moment. How many times in the hospital did we hear the importance of that. Over and over, each doctor, each special-ist, each nurse. (These indi-viduals are heroes and angels in their own right as well.) I reso-lutely believe that God put each of these individuals in the path of our dad that day, and that in turn, God directed Dad’s foot-steps into Brad’s Barber Shop, and into the lives of each of these individuals. “For I know the plans I have

for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you, not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11) How does a family, a survivor, show adequate, yet humble, grate-fulness? How do those over-whelming emotions get put into words? I don’t believe they can. I don’t know how WE can.Our dad is a Christmas mir-

acle. The overwhelming love and support from all of you; our community, our congrega-tion, our pastors, our family, our friends, and our neighbors; Brad Schultz, paramedics, policemen, firemen, (ALL of which are our small town he-roes) and your families; Dad is absolute and profound proof of the power of prayer - YOuR prayers.

With humble gratitude,Shelly and Rob Selly,

& familyMike and Noemi Vatthauer,

& familySue and Phil Werth, & family

(Several weeks ago, the Belle Plaine School District, along with individuals from the com-munity and organizations listed above, brought these CPR/AED skills to our own 9-12 grade students. Our entire communi-ty can appreciate the instruction and knowledge given to these students.)

Wrestling BrothersWrestling has been a Fogarty family affair for many years. During the 1982-83 wrestling season at Belle Plaine High School, these three brothers, from left, Ed, Andy and Bob, were all having good seasons for the Tigers and for good rea-sons. “We make each other work harder,” said Bob. “It’s all our goals to go to state competition,” said Bob. “Mom makes sure we get our vitamins,” Andy said.

Although some reservations were cited at the public hearing that Tuesday night, most Belle Plaine seniors agreed that they were happy with the possibil-ity of having a new senior citi-zens center in town. About 20 Belle Plaine residents, mostly seniors, met with members of the city council and a repre-sentative of the Scott County Housing and Redevelopment Authority to discuss the center, which was only in the planning stages as the city waited for the awarding of a possible grant ($215,000) from the govern-ment. “I do think a town this size should have one (a senior center),” seniors director Fran-ces Brandl said. “I have been praying for this for the past 10 years.” Most of the discussion centered around the size of the building and available parking spaces, of which some residents said weren’t enough.Those folks putting on a “Well-

ness at Work” fair for that com-ing Friday were not out to turn people into health nuts who run five miles a day and eat nothing but sunflower seeds and yogurt, but they wanted the residents of Belle Plaine to be more aware of what they can do to stay healthy. The event, which was to be held from noon to 5 p.m. at the junior high gym, was a first of sorts for Belle Plaine.The Scott County Board of

Commissioners and county de-partment heads were looking into the possibility of building a third floor addition to the court-house in order to provide office space for the Human Services Department. The total cost of the new facility would be $2.3 million, most of which would come from the general govern-ment fund. A public hearing was scheduled for Jan. 25.The flu bug had apparently

hit Belle Plaine. A number of wrestlers and basketball play-ers at the school missed athletic events that week due to illness.The Belle Plaine High School

basketball team stretched its winning streak to five games with victories of 60-44 over Le Center and 53-51 over Min-nehaha. Dave Harms led the scoring attack against Le Cen-ter with 15 points. At Minneha-ha, Brent Meyer’s last-second lay up gave the Tigers an excit-ing two-point win. Jeff Fogarty led the team in scoring with 22 points. Kevin Wolpern had 15 rebounds.The BPHS girls’ basketball

squad split two games that week, beating Jordan 53-28 and losing to Norwood 36-29. Against Jordan, Sandi Schmidt led the Tigers with 13 points. Laurie Wolpern, a freshman, had 10 points and 18 rebounds against Norwood.The Tiger wrestling team lost

two duals that week, falling to Le Center and Nicollet. Joe Dvorak and Bob Fogarty both won two matches for Belle Plaine.

60 Years Ago (1953)

Dedication of the new St. John’s Lutheran parsonage took place with Rev. Ewald, district president, St. Paul, as speaker for the occasion. Rev. and Mrs. O.F. Herder and children moved into the new parsonage, which the St. John’s Lutheran congre-gation had built for them. The old parsonage, which served St. John’s for nearly 60 years, was moved to the south side of town.Mrs. Bertha Wachholz, Ben-

ton Township, widow of the late Charles Wachholz, died at the hospital in Waconia at the age of 79.At the Cathedral, St. Paul,

FAT CHANCE!Omega-3 fatty acids found in

cold-water fi sh and certain plant and nut oils are already known to exert heart-healthy effects, reduce insulin resistance and infl amma-tion and reduce lipids and blood pressure. Now, there is evidence that DHA (the most complex form of omega-3) may also help prevent the most common form of blind-ness in older people. DHA has been found in the laboratory to fi ght the buildup of a toxic molecule (A2E) that accumulates on the retina to cause vision loss. By counteract-ing A2E formation, DHA may slow degeneration of the retina, includ-ing age-related macular degenera-tion (AMD). DHA may not reverse retinal damage, but it may help pre-serve vision and relieve dry eye and chronic eyelid infl ammation.

You’ve probably heard from your doctor or a dietician that eating certain kinds of fi sh each week is good for your health and waistline. Research shows that eating fi sh can also help you enjoy good vision longer. Routine eye exams are the cornerstone to healthy eyes. Please call us at 952-492-2350 to sched-ule a comprehensive eye health examination that includes measure-ment of visual acuity, tests for con-trast sensitivity and screening for glaucoma and cataracts. Our offi ce is located at 223 E. First Street, Suite 101. We accept most vision insurances.

P.S. Because DHA is the form of omega-3 fatty acid that is among the most diffi cult to consume in suf-fi cient amounts since it is found in so few food sources, supplements may be the best way to get it.

THE IMPORTANCE OF CLEAN CONTACTS

People wearing contact lenses should never lose sight of the fact that they are “medical devices” that warrant careful use. Contacts should be worn as prescribed and cleaned as recommended to prevent unnec-essary and potentially sight-threat-ening conditions. Chief among these in recent years is “Acanthamoeba keratitis,” a potentially very serious infection caused by a microorgan-ism commonly found in soil and fresh water, among other habitats. Problems can arise when tap water is used in cleaning and disinfecting contact lenses and lens cases. If this form of amoeba were to invade the cornea, infection and possible sight loss might ensue. It more than pays, therefore, to be conscientious and vigilant when it comes to contact wear and cleansing habits.

Contact lenses can be an exciting alternative to glasses because they give the wearer a glasses-free look and hassle-free wear all day long. Wearing contact lenses is different from wearing eyeglasses because the lenses are worn directly on the eyes. Adherence to a prescribed wearing, cleaning, and replacement schedule is important. Please call us at 952-492-2350 to schedule an eye health examination and a discussion of the eyewear that is best for you. We carry contact lenses and clean-ing supplies. Our office is located at 223 E. First Street, Suite 101. We accept most vision insurances.

P.S. Symptoms of Acanthamoeba keratitis include red, painful eyes with sensations of a foreign body, tearing, and light sensitivity.

St. Thomas Benefit Set for Evan SnyderFamily and friends of infant

Evan Snyder are organizing a benefit on his behalf that will take place jan. 26 from 1-5 p.m. at Neisen’s Sports Bar and Grill in Savage.Evan, the grandson of “Big

Don” Edberg of Belle Plaine and great grandson of Ken and Vernie Edberg, also of Belle Plaine, was born Sept. 4, 2012, and ever since that time, “has been a fighter.”Evan inhaled Meconium,

which is called Meconium aspi-ration syndrome (MAS). MAS is a medical condition affecting newborn infants. It occurs when meconium is present in their lungs during or before delivery. Meconium is the first stool of an infant, composed of materi-als ingested during the time the infant spends in the uterus.Meconium is normally stored

in the infant’s intestines until after birth, but sometimes (of-

ten in response to fetal distress) it is expelled into the amniotic fluid prior to birth, or during la-bor. If the baby then inhales the contaminated fluid, respiratory problems may occur.Evan had been on a number of

different machines that help to support his heart and lungs. He recently was able to go home and is doing much better.The benefit will help Evan’s

parents cover the mounting medical and travel expenses, as well as general cost-of-living as they have missed many hours of work due to Evan’s condition.Donations for auction and raf-

fle items are being sought. With you donation, your company/individual name will be rec-ognized, including your name being placed on a banner at the benefit.For more information or to

make a donation, visit www.caringbridge.org/visit/evansny-der.

Christmas Bird Count Resultsby Art and Barb StraubThe annual Nay Nature Cen-

ter area Christmas Bird Count (CBC) on Dec. 15 began and ended with “birding for geese weather” – misty, light rain and fog.The result, you may have

guessed, Canada Geese num-bers were higher than anytime in the past five years. The Mark and Shirley Katzenmeyer Pre-serve attracted about 700 at one time, and other flocks plied about the Minnesota River, with a goodly number of bald eagles keeping a close eye on their behaviors. In spite of the drizzly weather,

close to 90 stalwart citizen-sci-entists braved the bleak out-doors, tromping and stomping hither and yon, in an attempt to gather data on their feath-ered friends, after a summer of heat, drought and unpredict-able circumstances. Some folks dared to brave the out-of-doors; others chose to keenly observe their bird-feeders.A major surprise was the spot-

ting of a Rose-breasted Gros-beak near Belle Plaine. This winter rarity has never graced the CBC in the past 16 years. (The outskirts of that fair city are within the 7.5 radius of the NEY Nature Center, CBC epi-center.) The summer and au-tumn of 2012 were seasons of all manner of odd observations, and this grosbeak seemed to be accustomed to Minnesota hos-pitality, thus sticking around for black-oil sunflower seed at lo-cal feeding stations.

Wild turkeys made a great showing, the best in the past five years as there were 412 counted. Around noonday, after the drizzle slackened, flocks of 25 and more dashed from the woodlands to the few corn/bean fields showing stubble. Dark-eyed juncos were abundant, 456, with American gold-finch-es close behind, 322. Finches, being nomads, vary from year to year, however, purple finch-es and pine siskins appeared in goodly numbers in this year’s count.Due to the rather “open win-

ter,” plus mouse and rabbit pop-ulation explosions, raptors were on patrol in good numbers, with red-tailed hawks and kestrels being most prevalent.It was a rarity in not too many

years gone by, for Mourning Doves to “winter-over” in Min-nesota. The count of 91 was the second highest in the past six years. In addition, two Great-blue herons have remained in the area, and where they are gaining sustenance is a mys-tery, their natural food supply being sparse.When citizens were greeted by

the dank environment on bird-count day, a general feeling of depression as to number of birds that might be encountered enveloped the participants. However, with so many local citizen scientists involved, the count was quite remarkable with 45 species encountered in all.Complete totals of the CBC

results may be obtained on the NEY Nature Center website.

Le Sueur County Needs New Home for Mental Health ClientsThe Le Center City Coun-

cil recently sent a message to Le Sueur County – find a new place to house human service mental health clients.The council recently rejected

proposals to allow clients en-during serious and persistent mental health illness to stay at the Guardian Inn more than 30 days. The hotel was not zoned for people to stay there more than 30 days. Fearing possible public safety concerns, espe-cially in a part of town where many residents have children, the council rejected a proposed conditional-use permit to allow the clients to stay at the motel for more than a month.

Le Sueur County needs a place to house the clients that is less expensive than an in-stitutionalized setting. About 90 of the county’s 130 serious and persistently mentally ill human services clients live in residential settings, in apart-ments or with family members in their homes. The motel needs the revenue from the county to benefit its bottom line.Its owner, Tom Serie, said al-

lowing nine clients to stay at the hotel and maintaining a 50 percent occupancy rate would allow his business to get by.Serie said he would accept the

city council’s decision.

Everyday across America, children attend school in pursuit of an education that will help them be successful throughout their lives. One of the many vital cogs in this pursuit is the parapro-fessional.In general, paraprofessionals work in support of the teacher.

Having certified, enthusiastic, well-prepared paraprofession-als can make an enormous difference in the efficiency of a child's classroom and the implementation of a child's Individual Education Plan; and Belle Plaine is fortunate to have such qual-ity staff filling these roles.Paraprofessionals can and do wear numerous hats throughout

the school day. They work with students with special needs in a small group or one-to-one situations, they assist the classroom teachers with ensuring the learning of students, they supervise the playground during recess, monitor the cafeteria, they assist in the media center, assist the office staff, administer and enter RTI probes, job coach, etc. This list could go on and on. One thing is certain; they are necessary for our students and teachers to help ensure learning success. They are essential to the smooth operation of any good school.Governor Dayton has proclaimed january 14-18 as

Paraprofessional Recognition Week in Minnesota. There are over 25,000 paraprofessionals working in Minnesota schools and educational programs. Without these important members of our staffs, the day-to-day operations of our schools would look significantly different. Paraprofessional Recognition Week is january 14-18, but Paraprofessional Appreciation should be everyday. The legislative session is now in session and already there are

proposed bills that would have a significant impact on our local district. The most significant bill is one that would fully fund Kindergarten for all districts that voluntarily offer the program. Belle Plaine has offered free, all-day kindergarten for the past five years and has already committed financial resources to this program. Any additional funding that is approved for all-day kindergarten would be of great benefit to our district.As I mentioned in this column last week, I am seeking parents

and community members to visit the State Capitol and our local legislators to talk about school funding issues. january 29th is the date we have set for our visit and I would encourage any interested parties to contact me as soon as possible if you wish to join us for this visit. Please contact me via email at ksmith@belleplaine.k12.mn.us or at the phone number listed below. We hope to have a good sized group representing Belle Plaine at the Capitol!As always, if you have any questions about school matters,

please feel free to call me at 873-2400 or check our website at www.belleplaine.k12.mn.us. Go Tigers and Panthers!

An Equal Opportunity Employer

On the afternoon of January 31st, 2012 I was involved in a single-car accident on Hwy 169 just north of Belle Plaine. Sustaining significant injuries, I was airlifted by helicopter for emergency surgery and an ex-tended stay in the ICU at North Memorial Hospital.Last fall, my family and I met with the responding members of the Belle Plaine Rural Fire Protection Agency to express our thanks. It is some-thing we will never forget. As we begin 2013, I would like to once again thank our local firefighters who volunteer their time and skills to serve the community of Belle Plaine, along with the BP Police Department and all other emergency personnel.The past year has been full of challenges, small and large victories and ample time to reflect on how this event has changed my life for the better. The physical effects of the accident will be with me for a lifetime, but I am simply grateful to be here and owe my life to these men.Finally, I would like to thank local resident Sean Setterquist - the sole motorist who saw my vehicle leave the road and took action. I will always remain humbled by what you did for me that day.

God bless - Nathan Shutes

Green Isle Council Eyes Plan for Disaster CommunicationsIf a storm roared through

Green Isle, eliminating cellular and landline communications between the small eastern Sib-ley County city and emergency responders, the ability to com-municate vital information across the region would almost immediately overwhelm the systems citizens and emergency responders use to communicate throughout the region.In its first meeting of 2013 Jan.

8, the Green Isle City Council moved toward fixing that po-tential problem.The council gave a prelimi-

nary unanimous OK to Green Isle resident Don Burgess’s plan to put a low-voltage ham radio repeater on the city’s water tower 135 feet off the ground. A member of the Sib-ley County Skywarn Team, a group of trained weather spot-ters, Burgess is seeking a two-year agreement with a five-year renewal. The repeater is an an-tenna that transmits ham radio communications throughout the region. Ham radio signals oper-ate at a different level than the 800-megahertz signal police, firefighters and paramedics use, Burgess said.“You’d be doing a great ser-

vice to the citizens of Green Isle and Sibley County,” he said.City Attorney Ross Arneson

is further researching the issue and drafting a liability waiver and agreement for Burgess to sign. Donations from the Green Isle Lions and the Southern Minnesota SMART Radio Club are helping to fund the equip-ment for the repeater. The city council preliminarily agreed the city would pay for the elec-tricity. Burgess expects it will cost about the same amount as operating the light in the park-

ing lot at Irish Yard.If a storm knocks out electric-

ity to the area, solar-powered backup batteries will keep the repeater working, Burgess said.Because there are no repeaters

nearby, Green Isle and the area are in a communications “black hole,” Burgess said. He said a repeater at Green Isle would serve Sibley, western Carver, northern Nicollet, northern Le Sueur and western Scott coun-ties. It would dramatically en-hance the signal from the area to Mankato and repeaters in the western suburbs.He said the need for a repeater

in eastern Sibley County came to light in the summer of 2010 when many tornados and fre-quent severe weather plagued the region and state. Burgess recalled a baseball tournament at Irish Yard where severe weather sent fans scurrying for cover in the Green Isle Com-munity Center.New Councilors Take

Oath, OrganizeThe first order of business at

the jan. 8 meeting was swear-ing in the new city council, led by Mayor Dale ZumBerge, the longest serving member of the council.Voters elected ZumBerge after

Randal Bruegger opted against re-election. Councilors Mark Wentzlaff, Brian Oelfke, Todd Burg and Shawn Harms were also sworn-in. They were in-dividually assigned committee posts that included the city’s economic development author-ity (EDA) and park board.Wentzlaff, the lone councilor

with city experience, was unan-imously approved as Green Isle’s vice-mayor. He’ll lead council minutes in ZumBerge’s

The school board named State Bank of Belle Plaine the of-ficial depository of school dis-tricts funds for 2013. Directors also named Corner Stone Bank in Belle Plaine and the Min-nesota School District Liquid Asset fund as school district depositories.They named the Belle Plaine

Herald as the district’s official newspaper.

Scott West Beats Sibley East, Wins Plainview Invitational

H.S. Wrestling

The Scott West wrestling team won a Minnesota River Confer-ence dual Friday night in Belle Plaine as it defeated Sibley East 37-20. The win keeps the Panthers’ MRC winning streak intact and will set up what will most likely be a Minnesota Riv-er Conference championship showdown in jordan on jan. 25 against Watertown-Mayer.Scott West last lost a MRC

meet in the third year of the program during the 1992-93 season as it was beaten by Le Center, which is now Tri-City united after also wrestling as Montgomery-Lonsdale-Le Center for several seasons.After being removed from

Minnesota River Conference wrestling membership follow-ing the 2002 season, Scott West returned last year to win the MRC championship.Friday night’s matches be-

tween Scott West and Sibley East began with Panther sev-enth-grader jackson Stauffach-er using a third period escape to fight his way to a 1-0 win over Tanner Pasvogel at 106 pounds. Stauffacher, the son of Scott West co-head coach jerold Stauffacher, had made his suc-cessful Panther varsity debut the previous Thursday when he won a 17-2 technical fall over Le Sueur-Henderson’s Luke Wilson.“That was a huge win by jack-

son to get us off to a good start against Sibley East,” insists Scott West co-head coach Dar-ren Ripley. “jackson has really improved his wrestling over the last year or so, and as he contin-ues to develop, Scott West fans are going to be excited to watch him wrestle over the next sev-eral years.”After the Wolverines’ Mitch

Heibel tied the team score at 3-3 with a 4-2 win over Ben Kelvington at 113, David Flynn put Scott West ahead for good as the sophomore scored a first period pin of Mason Voight at 120.“We were expecting bonus

points from David and he deliv-ered with a tight pinning com-bination,” states Ripley.Panther jacob Backlund would

find the correct winning combi-nation for the second consecu-tive Friday in Belle Plaine as the junior followed his big win over a New Prague opponent with a tense 4-3 overtime de-cision over Wolverine senior Nathan Thomas. Backlund tied the match at 3-3 when he was awarded a stall-call penalty point late in the match before he went on to win the match with an overtime escape and ride out.“It’s important to win the close

matches in big dual meets,” comments Ripley. “jacob has delivered on back-to-back Fri-day nights with big wins in close, hard-fought matches that the team needed him to win.”Scott West would continue

to win matches as Zach Siegle dominated Wolverine fresh-man jason Meyer in a 12-0 major decision at 132. That would lead to one of the feature matches of the night as Panther senior Luke Zilverberg got a re-match against Hunter Retzlaff at 138, a wrestler that essen-tially knocked Zilverberg out of the state tournament last year as he won over Zilverberg in a section semifinal match while wrestling for St. Peter, where he went onto place fifth in the state. Zilverberg would use a big second period to take com-mand in this match as he scored a reversal and a low-level take down to score a big 4-2 win over Retzlaff.“Luke wrestled a good match

and it was a big win for him and the team,” states Ripley. “It’s always good to see a Scott West wrestler avenge a previous loss and that’s something that is very important to us.”It was also important for Scott

West to knock off one of the Wentzlaff’s brothers, and after Shane Abraham lost a 7-2 deci-sion to Mitch Wentzlaff at 145, that task would fall to Panther

captain jake Weierke, who de-livered a 6-5 winning decision at 152 by scoring two points in each of the three periods.“We are still waiting for Shane

to breakthrough and win match-es, but he has done a good job in limiting bonus points,” com-ments Ripley. “jake has been the consummate teammate as he has not had an easy assign-ment in wrestling in four dif-ferent weight classes from 132-152, but to his credit he will do what is needed to best help the team be successful.”After Wolverine Austin Kube

scored a first period pin of Jack Storlie at 160, another consum-mate Scott West teammate, An-drew Fogarty, moved up a cou-ple of weight classes to take on #4-rated Aaron Bates at 170 for the second feature match of the night. With the score tied at 1-1 in the third period, Bates scored a take down for a 3-1 lead. Fog-arty quickly scored back with a reversal and a ride out that sent the match into overtime. After a Fogarty escape, Bates would win the match 5-4 on a penalty point for stalling and an escape.“Andrew gave it a great ef-

fort and you have to give him a lot of credit for moving up two weight classes to challenge Bates,” insists Ripley. The exciting wrestling con-

tinued as junior Derek Dahlke scored a third period pin of No-lan Osborne at 182 to give Scott West a 28-14 team lead. Dahl-ke’s teammate, jake Schultz, secured the Scott West meet win as he followed with a big come-from-behind victory over Brandon Ashton at 195. With Ashton ahead 3-1 and in on Schultz’ leg in the third period, Schultz used a wizzar to power Brandon Ashton to his back for a take down and two-point near fall as Schultz went on to win a 5-4 decision that gave Scott West a 31-14 team lead.“We were expecting Derek

to deliver bonus points and he did,” states Ripley. “It was a great win by jake and our fourth one-point win on the night, which illustrates how hard-fought of a meet this was on both sides.”Sibley East was without their

#1-rated 195-pounder Nathan Rose, and the meet would come to a close with a pair of pins as Wolverine Miah Dufrane scored a second period pin of Ray Carter at 220 before Scott West freshman josiah Schatz put an end to the night of wres-tling with a first period pin over Wolverine Clay Mogard. “jo-siah did a good job of going right out and getting after him,” exclaims Ripley. “He put an ex-clamation point on a good, hard night of wrestling.”Scott West continued the

good, hard wrestling on Satur-day as it traveled to Plainview for the PEM Invitational, where it would crown six individual champions on the way to claim-ing the team championship with 193.5 points to the host runner-up PEM’s 175 points.“It was a good tournament for

us,” states Ripley. “We got a lot of kids on the mat and had some breakthrough performances by a couple of them.”Scott West lightweight Ben

Kelvington would have a

breakthrough performance as he wrestled his way to the championship at 106 pounds. After using two take downs and some solid riding to beat PEM’s Chase Defrang and advance to the championship finals, Kelv-ington outscored Eau Claire North’s 22-2 justin Peterson 8-7 to win the tournament. jackson Stauffacher placed

fifth for Scott West at 106. Da-vid Flynn continued to use the wrestling weapons that he has as the sophomore ran his sea-son record to 27-4 by claim-ing the championship at 120 pounds. Flynn nailed down the championship with a solid 4-0 win in the finals over former state place-winner Zach Kuhns of Maple River.junior Zach Siegle also wres-

tled his way to the PEM Invi-tational championship as he scored a solid 7-0 win over Fill-more Central’s Connor Hanson in the finals.After a 4-3 first period, Luke

Zilverberg converted a double arm bar into a second period pin of Austin’s Devon Felton to win the championship at 138 pounds. Sophomore Andrew Fogarty earned a 16-1 technical fall win over Mitch Stoltzman in the championship match at 160 and upped his season re-cord to 25-2. Scott West 195-pounder Ray

Carter, a junior, claimed the first varsity invitational cham-pionship of his career. After scoring a pin of PEM’s Elijah

14 rebounds for the Tigers, both team highs. Koepp was limited to six points and six rebounds but had eight blocked shots. Rounding out the scoring for Belle Plaine were Bigaouette (7), Narveson (6), Bristlin (5), Meger (4), Karl (3) and Bran-don Boateng (2). Winders and Meger followed Dauwalter in the rebounding department with seven apiece.

We didn’t end up on the win-ning side, but I am so proud of all our players after this game,” Wellner said. “We got down 19-4 and we could have folded the tents, but we kept fighting and took the lead 20-19 late in the first half. Jordan made more runs on us but we kept fighting back every time. jack Winders does so many things that don’t show up in the box score, but he really made some nice plays in the game. jordan really didn’t have an answer for Gavin Dauwalter. We ran the offense through him and he was a pres-ence the whole night. Mitch Nelson really did a nice job of handling the ball and hitting a key shot when Alec got in foul trouble.”Dauwalter had another dou-

ble-double with 17 points and 12 rebounds. The other scorers for the Tigers were Bigaouette (11), Meger (10), Winders (4), Koepp (4), Narveson (3), Karl (2) and Nelson (2). Bigaouette and Meger both had seven re-bounds.

St. Peter 79, Tigers 64St. Peter, the No. 2 ranked

team in the state in Class 2A, knocked off turnover-riddled Belle Plaine 79-64 at the BPHS gym. However, the coach was not displeased with his team’s effort.“Again, I can’t say how proud

I am of our guys,” Meger said. “This was their fourth game in five days, including three in a row. All of these games were against tough opponents. St. Peter is No. 2 in the state for a reason and that is because they capitalize on other team’s mis-takes. We played pretty well in the first half but we couldn’t handle their press in the second half. They scored on almost ev-ery turnover we committed in the second half. You can’t have 20 turnovers and beat a team like St. Peter . . . On the bright side, Sam Karl played a great all-around game. He scored in-side and outside, threw several great passes and played inspired defense.”Also having another big all-

around game was Dauwalter as his latest double went for 16 points and 13 rebounds, both team highs. Karl and Big-aouette had 12 and 11 points, respectively. The other scor-ers for the Tigers were Koepp (8), Narveson (7), (Bristlin (5), Meger (3) and Nelson (2).

Belle Plaine Drops 3 of 4by Dan RuudThe Belle Plaine High School

boys’ basketball team began last week in sole possession of first place in the Minnesota River Conference standings. By week’s end, the Tigers were tied for fifth following losses to Mayer Lutheran 55-46 on Tuesday and Jordan 58-53 on Friday.Belle Plaine split its two non-

conference games last week, defeating Kenyon-Wanamingo 43-40 on Thursday and falling to St. Peter 79-64 on Saturday.The Tigers, 2-2 in the MRC,

5-6 overall, were scheduled to travel to New Ulm for a non-conference game Tuesday night after this edition of the Herald went to press. They will return to MRC play with a 7:30 p.m. tip off this Thursday at Nor-wood Young America and at home against Tri-City United the same time next Tuesday.

Mayer Luth. 55, Tigers 46The Tigers came close to over-

taking the Crusaders on several occasions in the second half but the visitors were able to pull away late for the nine-point victory.“We just couldn’t put the ball

in the basket tonight,” said Belle Plaine coach John Well-ner. “Credit Mayer Lutheran with that. They played excel-lent defense and really bothered us with their quickness. We had trouble running our offense as they pushed us out away from the basket. Defensively, we played pretty well. They scored a few more points than us in the second half but they made those shots off scramble situa-tions that got them open shots. When we had our defense set, it was tough for them to score as well.”Alec Koepp led the Tigers in

scoring with 12 points. Jacob Meger added 10, followed by Gavin Dauwalter (8), Sam Karl (5), Aaron Bigaouette ( 4), Jack Winders (4), Luke Narveson (2) and Luke Bristlin (1). Ko-epp and Dauwalter shared the team lead in rebounds with eight apiece.

Tigers 43, Kenyon-W 40The Tigers shot just 27 percent

from the field but accumulated 51 rebounds to edge Kenyon-Wanamingo by three points at the BPHS gym.“This was a good game to win,

especially after losing to them in double overtime last year,” Wellner said. “Credit goes to our defense. When you hold a team to 40 you are doing some-thing right. We had trouble again shooting and passing the ball. It is something that we just

Dance Team Wins Twice at NYA

Tigers Fall to Raiders, Saintsby Dan RuudThe Belle Plaine High School

girls’ basketball team complet-ed perhaps its toughest stretch of the season with losses at Norwood Young America on Thursday and at home against St. Peter on Saturday. In the game before those, the Tigers fell at first-place Jordan on Jan. 4. NYA is in second place in the Minnesota River Conference, while St. Peter is still regarded as one of the better teams in the section.The Tigers, 2-4 in the Min-

nesota River Conference, 5-9 overall, were scheduled to host Tri-City United in a Minnesota River Conference game Tues-day night after this edition of the Herald went to press. Next up is a nonconference game at home against Bethlehem Acad-emy 7:30 p.m. this Thursday. MRC play will resume with a 7:30 p.m. tilt at winless Le Sueur-Henderson this Friday.

NYA 77, Tigers 62Despite the 15-point deficit

in the end, Tigers coach Randy Carlson said he saw his team take another step forward.“We competed well during the

whole game and were on the verge of an opportunity to win on numerous occasions. Again, we need to continue to learn to make plays at crucial times.“NYA is a very good team

that shot well tonight,” Carl-son continued. “At times, we rebounded well but not consis-tently enough.”Carlson was particularly

pleased with the play of eighth-grader Mariena Hayden, who had 17 points and 13 rebounds. He also singled out Claire Otto, who had a team-high 18 points. Haley Fogarty was also in double digits with 14 points. Jamie Read and Amara Meyer both chipped in four points, followed by Sophie Brazil and Ellie Murphy with two apiece. Kalli Koepp had one. Fogarty

led the team in assists with seven.

St. Peter 62, Tigers 60In a rare Saturday matinee at

the BPHS gym, the Tigers over-came an early 25-14 deficit with a 13-0 run to take a 27-25 lead. The game stayed competitive from that point on but it was the visiting Saints who got the last-second basket for a two-point triumph.Belle Plaine tied the game at

60-60 when Meyer scored with 13 seconds left to play. But St. Peter, with three seconds left, had the opportunity to inbound the ball from underneath its own basket and hit a lay up for the victory.“We did a lot of good things

this game,” Carlson said. “We competed the whole game and made some big plays in tough situations against a quality team. Their two big girls hurt us inside but we did a good job containing them . . . This was a step in the right direction for us. Now, we need to learn to win these close games. We are a work in progress. Good things are coming.”Carlson praised the play and

leadership of Fogarty, who poured in 27 points to go along with eight rebounds and four as-sists. Rounding out the scoring for the Tigers were Otto (13),

Mayer (9), Hayden (7), Murphy (3) and Brazil (1). Hayden tied Fogarty for the team lead in re-bounds with eight.

Ciliberto, Scott County Board at Odds Over Salary AgainTwo years after his appeal of

the Scott County Board’s de-cision on his salary, County Attorney Pat Ciliberto and the commissioners may again be headed back to court if they can’t fi nd common ground.Last Tuesday, the county board

met behind closed doors on Ciliberto’s appeal of his 2013 salary. Ciliberto had the county served with papers the previous week preserving his right to ap-peal his salary.But he has not opened a court

fi le that will formalize the pro-cess and set a date for a court hearing. He said he has yet to retain counsel on the issue and will only move forward with an appeal if the board won’t ad-dress his concerns.The board unanimously OK’d

a 3 percent salary hike for Cilib-erto Dec. 18, increasing his sal-ary to $131,840. It also granted a 3 percent raise for the county sheriff and commissioners.Commissioners Tom Wolf

of Credit River Township and Joe Wagner of Sand Creek Township, the county board’s chairman and vice chairman for 2013, said their read of the board from the closed session is commissioners are not willing to grant Ciliberto the raise he wants and believes he deserves. They both declined to answer specifi c questions on the closed door-meeting.

Friday, Ciliberto said he had yet to hear from the county’s legal counsel on the wage ap-peal issue.Speaking separately, Wagner

and Wolf fear the fi nancial af-fect giving the county attor-ney the greater raise he wants would have with the county’s union and non-union employee groups.

He Understands, But . . .Brad Benson, president of

the county’s largest union, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employ-ees (AFSCME) said he recog-nizes the importance of people being paid a fair market wage. Benson recognizes the compli-cating nature of the issue in that county commissioners have to face constituents who may not be as supportive. Benson said the timing of the issue is “awk-ward” because the county is still dealing with the economic challenges caused by the reces-sion.“I’m generally supportive,” he

said, “but the timing is not so good.”Benson said giving Ciliberto

the raise he believes is fair wouldn’t directly impact the county’s next round of contract negotiations with AFSCME since the county has a salary and performance matrixes in place for each position and pay grade. “It’s complicated,” Ben-son said.Wagner has long advocated

giving all the elected offi cers -- commissioners, the county attorney and sheriff the same percentage wage increase.“He got 3 percent, just like

we did. We’re all elected. We all got the same and that’s

enough,” said Wagner, Belle Plaine’s representative on the county board. Ciliberto was paid $128,884

in 2012 and received the same 3 percent salary increase for 2013 Scott County commissioners approved for themselves and County Sheriff Kevin Stud-nicka.But that’s the rub. Ciliberto

says the 3 percent raise places his salary more than $9,000 be-low the average salary of county attorneys in Carver, Washing-ton, Dakota, Anoka, Olmsted and St. Louis counties. Four of those six county attorneys are in their fi rst term. Ciliberto is in his third term.Ciliberto believes he should be

paid on-par with his peers and that to attract quality county at-torney candidates in the years to come, Scott County should pay its county attorney a fair wage.Ciliberto is also frustrated

because commissioners had apparently agreed during their off-camera November planning workshop to increase his sal-ary to the average salary paid to the county attorneys in those six counties. Wagner said the understanding “crumbled like a house of cards” in the weeks between the planning workshop and mid-December because it meant approving salary in-crease at or near 10 percent.“There was no way anybody

was willing to do that. Politi-cally, that wasn’t going to hap-pen,” Wagner said.Wagner and Wolf believe the

next move is Ciliberto’s. Two years ago, he won a slight in-crease through an appeal. A judge also ordered Scott County to pay his legal fees of $13,930.94.

Woodard Bill Would MakeTapping School Funding HarderThe fi rst bill introduced this

session by Rep. Kelby Woodard, R-Belle Plaine, would make it more diffi cult for the legislature to delay school funding.The bill (H.F. 53) would re-

quire a three-fi fths majority in the legislature to enact a fund-ing shift, instead of the simple majority needed today.“The standard for borrowing

from our kids should be at least as high as it is for borrowing through bonding,” said Wood-ard, who serves as Republican lead on the DFL-controlled House Education Finance Committee. “Not only should we pay back what we owe now,

we should also make it tougher to borrow from our schools in the future. I look forward to committee hearings on this bill as soon as possible.”This year’s H.F. 1, which was

introduced by the new House Democrat majority, resembles legislation House Republicans passed last year, with one key exception, Woodard said: That bill (H.F. 2083) identifi ed sur-plus revenue from reserve ac-counts to pay back delayed school funding and was ve-toed by Gov. Mark Dayton last spring. The Democrats’ latest bill makes no mention of where the funds would come from to

pay back this debt to public schools. The governor has re-peatedly stated that he will not accept a piecemeal approach to the state budget, Woodard said.“The DFL did not like our bill

to pay down K-12 debt last year when we dedicated the funds to actually make it happen,” he said. “Minnesotans clearly agree that we need to put a stop to accounting gimmicks (the Republican majority previously used) in our budget process. I hope the DFL will join me in calling for the full repayment of the balance owed to our schools ... now.”
