jobs in February
Unempl oyment
rate at 4.8 percent
Minnesota employers cut
100 jobs in February, according
to figures released by the Min-
nesota Department of Employ-
ment and Economic
Development.
The loss, combined with a
revised gain of 800 jobs in Jan-
uary, brought total job growth in
the state over the past year to
44,714, a growth rate of 1.6 per-
cent compared with a U.S.
growth rate of 1.5 percent dur-
ing that period.

To say Michael Fritz is famil-
iar with Bethlehem United
Church of Christ would be an un-
derstatement.
The 2005 Maple Lake High
School graduate was baptized
and confirmed in the local con-
gregation.
Fast-forward a few years and
now Fritz is serving as the in-
terim pastor at his home church.
During those years, Fritz
graduated from the University of
Minnesota in 2008, began earn-
ing his Masters of Divinity at the
Iliff School of Theology at the
University of Denver and com-
pleted the degree from Andover
Newton Theological School in
Boston. He returned to the area in
the fall to serve as a chaplain in-
tern at Abbott Northwestern Hos-
pital.
In January and February, he
served as a supply pastor at Beth-
lehem UCC.
I never considered myself a
candidate for the interim pastor
position, Fritz said. When they
asked me to be interim pastor, I
was very surprised.
In the churchs newsletter, the
church council explained the
process that led to interviewing
Fritz for the position.
The congregation has shared
with us how much they like
Michael and are inspired by his
worship services, the letter said.
Our youth were sharing how
much they enjoyed confirmation,
also. After reviewing profiles and
interviewing interim candidates,
we came to the realization that
maybe Michael would be the best
candidate.
Fritzs licensing was approved
on Feb. 20 and he started his new
position on March 1.
He believes the timing could-
nt be better.
I believe its wonderfully ap-
propriate that our time together
begins with the season of Lent,
Fritz wrote in the church newslet-
ter. Forty days of stillness, of ob-
servance, of liberating humility
and with the anticipation for the
work of God to begin is a fantas-
tic preparation for the time ahead
of us.
Taking notice of Lent and the
invitation it carries to slow down
and be worshipful together will
help us remember what is truly
important in our church life and
what we need to stay faithful to
as we look to the future, Fritz
continued. May the 40 days of
piety and spiritual discipline
renew us for the thing which God
is doing with Bethlehem United
Church of Christ.
In addition to leading Lenten
services on Wednesdays and
Sundays, Fritz is currently work-
ing with Fr. John Meyer, of St.
Timothy Catholic Church, and
Holy Cross Lutheran Churchs
Rev. Culynn Curtis to coordinate
the joint Good Friday service at
Bethlehem UCC.
His passion is preparing serv-
ices.
Worship planning is what
Im really into, Fritz said. Dur-
ing Lent, I get to spend more time
doing that.
He is appreciative of how he
has been received in his new po-
sition.
Coming in, I was worried
people would have the image of
the 15-year-old me narrating the
Christmas program, Fritz said.
Ive been very fortunate that
hasnt been the case. I feel like
they want me here and that feels
good.
At the same time, Fritz is not
considering himself a candidate
for the full-time pastor position.
But that doesnt mean he sees
himself as merely filling the gap
between Rev. Jeff Palmer and the
future minister.
I really do want to help the
congregation be still and hear
where God is calling us next,
Fritz said. I want to be a part of
the process of discernment and
preparation.

Distracted driving
crackdown set to
start April 11
April 11-20 will be spe-
cially-targeted dates for dis-
tracted drivers in Minnesota.
Extra patrols, including troop-
ers, deputies and city police of-
ficers, will rally for 10 days to
curb distracted driving and the
resulting crashes in an enforce-
ment effort. This project will
last several more days than sim-
ilar efforts by officers in 2013.
Distracted driving remains
one of the top driving concerns
for traffic safety officials in
Minnesota. Texting is an issue
with drivers of all ages and will
be a strong focus during this en-
forcement project. Current state
law prohibits everyone from
texting while driving.
We have to continue work-
ing together to create a traffic
safety culture in Minnesota, and
one way to do that is to get
everyone to take personal re-
sponsibility for their own ac-
tions behind the wheel,
Regional Public Information
Officer Sgt. Jesse Grabow said.
These special enforcement
and education efforts are com-
ponents of the states Toward
Zero Death initiative. A primary
vision of the TZD program is to
create a safe driving culture in
Minnesota in which motorists
support a goal of zero road fa-
talities by practicing and pro-
moting safe and smart driving
behavior. TZD focuses on the
application of four strategic
areas to reduce crashes edu-
cation, enforcement, engineer-
ing and emergency trauma
response.

For nearly 18 years, Maple
Lake residents have been clean-
ing their clothes in the confines of
Cozy Wash on Birch Avenue.
That era came to a close on
March 13.
Just between the vandalism
and theft, were tired of dealing
with it, owner Gary Swearingen
said.
That vandalism and theft re-
sulted in significant damage on
Feb. 12.
Someone came in and cut out
the coin machine, Swearingen
said. They broke the soap ma-
chine open and took the coin out
of that. They had knocked the
camera off the ceiling. They bent
up the drawer in the big dryer,
thinking there may be coins in
there.
Those events followed several
smaller incidents.
In the middle of the day, peo-
ple were dumping the garbage
cans upside down and things like
that, Swearingen said. With
Denise and I not being right next
door, were not there every day
and we had someone there on a
part-time basis. After 18 years,
we cant do it any more.
The Swearingens said they
went back and forth on the deci-
sion for a month before opting not
to invest back into the business.
It was always more of a serv-
ice to the town than a money-
maker, Swearingen said. It
was always used. There were al-
ways a few people a day that
came in late in the afternoon or
evening because thats when peo-
ple are going home.
Those individuals will now be
limited to coin laundry options in
Buffalo and Annandale.
Most likely, the equipment
from Cozy Wash will go for sale
on an online auction and
Swearingen will look for a tenant
or buyer for the downtown loca-
tion.
I feel bad because, even after
I sold the insurance agency to An-
nandale State Bank, we didnt
want another empty spot in
town, Swearingen said. We
have enough of those already.

As advancements in how we
communicate and access informa-
tion becomes more dependent on
technology, Wright County is
preparing to make a big technolog-
ical leap, starting in May, as the
updating of the countys website is
the first step in the process of
going increasingly paperless.
Given the amount of forms and
documents that are filled out at the
county courthouse, it will be a
daunting task, but something the
county has been working on for
some time.
Information Technology Direc-
tor Bill Swing said after the March
25 meeting of the county board
that process of overhauling the
countys website is the first tangi-
ble step of an upgrade that has
been in the works for almost two
years.
This project started during the
budget hearings in 2012, Swing
said. We budgeted to start the up-
grading of our website last year
and, last summer, we distributed
Requests For Proposal nationwide
to a list of vendors explaining in
detail what our needs were. Last
fall, we narrowed that list down to
three and approved a vendor ear-
lier this year.
That company, CivicPlus, of
Manhattan, Kan., not only submit-
ted the most cost-friendly bid, but
already had a history in Minnesota
creating new websites for Anoka
and Washington counties.
The problem the county has ex-
perienced, aside from a woefully
antiquated official website, which
hasnt changed much since its in-
ception in the mid-1990s, is a
group of several separate core sys-
tems working independently of
one another in the county. Human
Services has its own system. So
does the Sheriffs Department, the
Auditor/Treasurers Office, Plan-
ning and Zoning and other county
departments. The new system
would integrate them all together.
Swing credited Commissioner
Mark Daleiden with spearheading
the effort to speed up the process.
When Daleiden was running for
county commissioner in 2012, he
was appalled by what he saw on
the countys website, which had
the look of a website designed on
the cheap with very little interac-
tion with the public.
Swing said that, while things
wont change immediately, the
May 1 launch of the new website
will be the first step in an ongoing
process.
The environment with the
new board is much more interac-
tive, Swing said. In the past,
most ideas for how to improve our
interactivity with the public was
coming from my department being
asked what we should do. Now,
were getting numerous ideas from
commissioners and department
heads. Ideally, 80 percent of the
forms and documents the public
will need will be done through the
website and wont require them to
drive to Buffalo to get them. The
ultimate expectation is that people
will be able to fill out forms from
their own computer and submit
them directly that way.
The plan is to get departments
up to speed on the changes that
will be coming the week of April
7 with a projected launch date of
the new website for May 1.
The changes are not going to
come overnight, but this is a good
start, Swing said. This is a plat-
form for expansion and the key
will be to keep the system simple
and intuitive and create a more in-
teractive website that will serve the
needs of the public in a much more
interactive way than we have be-
fore.
During the March 25 meeting,
the board:
Approved sending a letter of
support to the Met Council for the
projected expansion of I-94 from
Rogers to Monticello, highlighting
that, in the event of an emergency,
I-94 would be the evacuation route
for the Monticello nuclear power
plant.
Scheduled bid openings for
the Highway Departments season
requirements, pavement preserva-
tion contract and the County State
Aid Highway 33 construction
project for 9 a.m. Friday, April 25.
Approved 2014 maintenance
agreements between the highway
department and six cities De-
lano, Elk River, Maple Lake,
Monticello, Montrose and Wa-
verly.
Unanimously approved a re-
quest to rezone 41 acres in Silver
Creek Township from Agricul-
tural/General to Agricultural/ Res-
idential.
Approved moving forward
with updating the countys Sub-
Division Ordinance to include De-
velopers Agreements, which
would be used on future plats that
would come before the planning
commissioner to lay out the re-
sponsibilities of developers if a
project isnt completed to protect
the interests of the county, town-
ships and taxpayers. The Sub-Di-
vision Ordinance hasnt been
significantly updated since it was
first adopted in 1977, so the Devel-
opers Agreements would be in-
cluded as part of a planned
ordinance update this year.
Approved a proclamation de-
claring the week of April 7-13 as
National Public Health Care Week
in Wright County. The American
Public Health Association has
honored those who work in the
public health field since 1995.
Michael Fritz has been named the interim pastor at Bethle-
hem United Church of Christ in Maple Lake. The 2005 Maple
Lake High School graduate was baptized and confirmed in
the local congregation before graduating from seminary and
returning to serve his church in a new capacity.

Things are starting to periodically look brighter with a 60-degree Sun-
day. With that comes melting snow drifts and I figure that, by the end of
the week, I should be able to pick up the Christmas light extension cords
that have been buried since the New Year. That goes ditto for the holiday
lights that I wrapped around some bushes and the snow has been too deep
to remove them. After driving around town, I noticed Im not the only res-
ident with that problem. Of course, there is still the possibility of additional
snow this week (Thursday) which could postpone cleaning up for another
week. If that happens, my plan is to plug the lights back in and use them
for Easter decorations (April 20). . . Last weeks brief rainfall had
the robins congregating on lawns void of snow apparently looking for
food. There was a huge flock at the intersection of Linden Ave. N. and Di-
vision Street poking their beaks into the sod and apparently finding some
sort of bugs. The ground was too frozen for worms and nightcrawlers, but
another shower should help the robins in that respect. I heard a pair of
Sandhill cranes while Vanna and I were walking in the eastern portion of
Ney Park Saturday. We also saw a hen pheasant fly into the Lake Mary
swamp, but so far I havent seen any migrating ducks. Anglers are still
driving vehicles and ATVs on local lakes and as long as there is a way to
get on, there should be ample ice for them. Thats not an endorsement for
safe ice on the lakes, which is never 100%, so use your own judgement.
. . On the other hand, my Florida informant, Mike Muller, doesnt
have a problem with ice on Lake Okeechobee, but hes reluctant to put
his hand in the water because of alligators. Last week he e-mailed me a
photo of a crappie he caught in that lake, 14.5 inches and 2.7 pounds,
which has been his largested this year. He and his fishing buddy, Jesse,
apparently had a banner day with most of their 30 fish catch in the 12- to
13-inch range. Id say they must have found the honey hole! I havent
been out for a good week, but hope to remedy that this week.

I spent a portion of Sunday watching the NCAA basketball games
which are going into the final four. Naturally I was pulling for the Michigan
teams, neither of which made it when they were defeated by the University
of Connecticut and the University of Kentucky. I suspect Ill back Wis-
consin now, even though thats kind of like jumping ship.Another har-
binger of spring was the Twins opener with the Chicago White Sox
Monday. Their first home game is April 7, 3:10 p.m., with Oakland, with
eight more home games through April 17 before they go on the road. Well
need a major warm-up for those games, which include three night games.

The DNR has some hints for home and cabin owners who like living
in remote, wooded areas or, for that matter, on a prairie.
Q: With the potential for a wildfire season this spring, is there anything
people can do now to protect their homes and cabins?
A: Now, while the snowpack is still here, burn brush piles. If there is
less than three inches of snow on the ground, a burning permit is required.
Check with a local forestry office.
Late winter is the best time to prune trees. Look at the trees and shrubs
within 100 feet surrounding the cabin or house. Eliminate ladder fuels by
pruning 6 to 10 feet up from the ground. Thin out evergreen trees so
branches are 10 feet apart. Maintain a 10-foot space between the crowns
of trees. Clean roof and gutters of any wood or pine needles, leaves or de-
bris. Prune off tree branches touching the house. Move wood piles outside
a 30-foot zone surrounding the cabin or house. Make sure the chimney
has a spark arrestor.

I didnt get to the Northwest Sportshow last week, the 82nd annual,
which means the show started before I was born, but not by much. Its a
great place to see the latest in sports equipment and there are aisles upon
aisles of vendors from fishing, family resorts and hunting outfitters from
the Midwest as well as Canada and other countries. Last weeks Outdoor
News included a lot of advertising by vendors who planned to be at the
show. One item that caught my eye was a Fishphone WIFI underwater
camera which turns your smart phone or tablet into a fully functional un-
derwater camera monitor. Its a Vexilar product and, if I was 60 years
younger, theres no double Id have one either on the ice or in the boat.
You dont need cell phone coverage to use it, but its like other gadgets, it
will show you fish, but its still up to the angler to entice them to bite!

Viewpoint
Question: In my defensive
driving class recently, the instruc-
tor talked about trains and rail
safety, and I thought this would be
a good topic for you to inform the
public about. Thanks!
Answer: I have responded to a
few of these types of crashes dur-
ing my career and they can bring
a lot of unnecessary misery for
sure. Collisions with trains are
mostly preventable. Car driver
inattention and impatience are
cited as the most common factors
contributing to motor vehicle/train
crashes.
In the recent past, our partners
at the Minnesota Department of
Transportation (MnDOT) have
worked to share the following
general rail safety tips with the
public to make sure they are not in
the way of a train:
Motorists should always stop
their vehicle when crossing gates
are down or lights are flashing;
wait for the crossing gates to rise
and lights to stop flashing; look
both ways, listen and proceed with
caution.
Also, motorists need to obey
all signs and signals at railroad
crossings and never stop their car
on railroad tracks; always keep
their car behind the white lines
when approaching an intersection
at railroad tracks.
Motorists and passengers
should get out of the car immedi-
ately if it stalls while crossing the
tracks, then call 911 or the emer-
gency notification number located
on the railroad signal equipment.
If a train is coming, abandon the
car. Proceed quickly towards the
train at a 45-degree angle, so that
if the train strikes your car, you
will be safe from flying debris.
Bicyclists and pedestrians
should always look both ways be-
fore crossing railroad tracks, cross
only in designated areas and avoid
crossing when gates are down.
They should be aware that trains
may operate any time throughout
the day and night in either direc-
tion, and please know that walk-
ing on the railroad tracks is illegal.
If you have any questions con-
cerning traffic related laws or is-
sues in Minnesota, send your
questions to Trp. Jesse Grabow

Highway 10 West, Detroit Lakes,

Minnesotans must have health
insurance or be in line by
11:59pm on Monday, March 31st
in order to avoid tax penalties.
MNsures revised total enrollment
goals have been met, but 70% of
enrollees are on public assistance
programs. Goals for private plans,
young people, and small busi-
nesses are still far off the mark.
MNsures own economists esti-
mate that nearly 50,000 Min-
nesotans will be fined. Penalties
increase over time.
I continue to have grave con-
cerns regarding the MNsure pro-
gram. Not the least of which is the
fact that some people are being
forced to abandon their life-long
doctor because of limited choices.
Minnesotans need action on Oba-
macare/MNsure. After enrollment
closes next week, Republicans
will be talking about reforms for
MNsure, even if the majority party
with complete control of state
government continues to support
the current plan.
If you currently do not have
health insurance, and want to
avoid any penalties, please contact
your local insurance agent or MN-
sure at mnsure.org or by calling 1-
855-366-7873.
NEW SENATE OFFICE
BUILDING
There has been a lot of discus-
sion at the Capitol this week re-
garding building a new Senate
Office Building for $90 million.
This proposal was literally snuck
into the Democrat tax bill last ses-
sion without the usual series of
public hearings. The DFL led Ma-
jority created a lease-purchase
agreement in order to avoid fund-
ing the building in a bonding bill,
which is the usual process. The
plan is now being challenged in
the courts.
This building proposal, at a
cost of well over $1 million per of-
fice, is wasteful, extreme and not
reflective of Minnesotan values.
Plans include a fitness facility,
heated garage, glass faade and re-
flecting pool unnecessary luxu-
ries for an elite few. There will
only be 44 offices in the new
building, which means almost half
of the Senate will still have to of-
fice elsewhere.
Minnesotans should be con-
cerned about the way this bill was
passed, and how its being used in
behind-the-scenes negotiations.

Repealing tax increases
and working to help

by Rep. Joe McDonald
News from the
Capitol
by Sen. Bruce Anderson
Dear neighbor,
After House Democrats pro-
posed $750 million in annual tax
increases mostly for transit spend-
ing, they introduced a more mod-
est bill this week that would spend
$50 million in General Funds and
$50 million in Trunk Highway
Funds. However, the bill adds
more regulations and assessments
on private industry, railroads and
pipelines at a time when we should
be encouraging greater build-out
of these systems to transport en-
ergy and heating sources to Min-
nesotans who need them. Notable
spending items include $15 mil-
lion to the Met Council, largely for
bus rapid transit, $10 million for
winter-related trunk highway re-
pair (pot hole repair), $5 million
for railroad grade crossing safety,
nearly $4 million for winter-re-
lated county state-aid road repair,
and tens of thousands of dollars for
free statewide transit on Election
Day.
Part of the bill also puts the
Minnesota Pollution Control
Agency (PCA) in charge of new
pipeline construction instead of
placing it under the authority of
Public Utility Commission and the
Office of Pipeline Safety. If this
proposal becomes law, it is highly
questionable we will ever see
pipeline improvements or new
construction. Another provision
requires railroads to light their rail
yards with Made in Minnesota
solar panels, despite objections
from neighbors, railroad compa-
nies and surrounding communi-
ties.
Legislative
update
by Rep. Marion ONeill
By the time you read this, well
know two things: whether or not
the University of Minnesota Go-
phers will be playing in the NIT
Championship and if Minnesotas
own Kat Perkins advances to the
playoffs on The Voice.
As has been the case throughout
the Gophersplayoff run, they re-
ally didnt look like they wanted to
be there in the beginning. At one
point, they trailed by eight points.
Thankfully, Austin Hollins was-
nt ready to be done playing and
came up with 32 points to lead his
team to an 81-73 win.
With another win, the Gophers
will advance to the championship
game at 7 p.m. Thursday. Barring a
jinx, hopefully next weeks column
will include a congratulations to the
maroon and gold for winning a
tournament, even if it wasnt the
tournament they wanted.
Speaking of that other tourna-
ment, my home state team, the
Iowa State Cyclones, met their de-
mise in the form of an 81-76 loss to
the Connecticut Huskies.
Somehow, the Huskies were a 7
seed, despite being a perennial
powerhouse. They proved they
were better than their seeding by
not only beating the Cyclones, but
also by getting past the heavily-fa-
vored Michigan State Spartans.
Despite ISUs loss, they gave us
plenty to be proud of. Their come-
from-behind win against the Uni-
versity of North Carolina Tarheels
was nothing short of amazing, es-
pecially with one of their best play-
ers out with a broken foot.
The fairy tale came to a screech-
ing halt on Friday, despite
Younkers, NY native Dustin Hogue
breaking out for a career-high 34
points in front of his family and
friends on one of the worlds largest
stages, Madison Square Garden. It
was just too bad that he didnt get
much help from his teammates,
with Melvin Ejim and DeAndre
Kane combining for 23 points on
less than 30 percent shooting.
Heres to hoping Perkins fairy
tale doesnt end just yet. If the pre-
view for Tuesdays show is any in-
dication, it wont, as it showed
advisor Chris Martin, of Coldplay,
complimenting Perkins on her
voice.
Hopefully, I havent jinxed her
or the Gophers.

Greetings,
Hello from the Capitol, where
passage of a tax bill and an effort to
provide long-term care givers a
much-needed raise have made re-
cent news.
The tax bill (H.F. 1777) has a
couple of main highlights. First, it
brings Minnesotas tax code into
line with some provisions of the
federal tax code in tax year 2013.
It also includes other major provi-
sions starting in 2014. Some of this
work could have been completed
earlier this year or during last years
special session, providing citizens
and tax preparers alike more time
before the April 15 deadline. Now,
state officials are asking many peo-
ple to wait until April 3 to file to en-
sure tax code updates are in place.
This tax bill also repeals the
sales tax on commercial/industrial
repair, warehousing and telecom-
munications machinery and equip-
ment starting April 1. I strongly
opposed these tax increases going
into law last year and am pleased
to see the majority has recognized
at least some of its mistakes.
In total, the bill returns $443
million to taxpayers and puts $150
million in budget reserves. This is
a start, but does not go nearly far
enough. The bottom line is there
still is a $1.7 billion tax increase for
the biennium. This translates to
$300 for every man, woman and
child in Minnesota.
This tax bill also leaves more
than half of the projected $1.2 bil-
lion surplus available to spend as
Gov. Mark Dayton and the legisla-
tive majorities see fit.

MARCH 31 REPORT OF THE
WRIGHT COUNTY SHERIFF
On March 26, Maple Lake
participated in the Mayors for
Meals national awareness cam-
paign for Meals on Wheels.
Maple Lake Mayor Lynn
Kissock delivered meals for
Maple Lake Catholic Charities
Senior Dining.
Every time I volunteer at the
(Maple) Manor, whether to de-
liver meals or help serve meals,
I enjoy my time immensely,
Kissock said. It is such a great
honor to be able to spend time
with the folks who helped shape
Maple Lake and to learn more
about the history of this great
community.
Thank you to (Site Coordi-
nator) Lorie (Hegle) and the gals
in the kitchen, too, for all you do
to keep the meals program
going.
Each year, hundreds of may-
ors participate in the program
and much media attention sur-
rounds the program. As a result,
there are increased donations
and more volunteers step for-
ward to assist, as people become
aware of the great service and
the need to provide meals to all
seniors who need them.
For more information about
donating or volunteering, call
963-5771.

The Minnesota unemploy-
ment rate climbed 0.1 percent in
February to a seasonally ad-
justed 4.8 percent, well below
the U.S. rate of 6.7 percent.
The states labor force partic-
ipation rate climbed 0.2 percent
for the second consecutive
month to reach 70.5 percent.
That two-month gain was the
biggest jump in the labor force
participation rate in 13 years.
Minnesota is now 5,200 partici-
pants shy of having a record 3
million people in its labor force.
While job growth slowed
last month, most Minnesota em-
ployment sectors are well ahead
of where they were a year ago,
said DEED Commissioner Katie
Clark Sieben. Manufacturing
added jobs for the fifth month in
a row, and construction is grow-
ing at more than three times the
national pace.
February job gains were in
education and health services
(up 1,300), professional and
business services (up 1,300),
leisure and hospitality (up 900),
manufacturing (up 300), con-
struction (up 300) and mining
and logging (up 100).
Job losses were in informa-
tion (down 1,000), government
(down 1,000), trade, transporta-
tion and utilities (down 1,000),
financial activities (down 800)
and other services (down 500).
Over the past year, education
and health services led all sec-
tors with 13,433 new jobs. Other
job gains were in trade, trans-
portation and utilities (up 8,311),
construction (up 6,766), manu-
facturing (up 6,541), profes-
sional and business services (up
5,591), other services (up
3,104), leisure and hospitality
(up 2,908), information (up 683)
and logging and mining (up
121).
Over-the-year job losses were
in government (down 1,618) and
financial activities (down
1,126).
In the state Metropolitan Sta-
tistical Areas, job gains occurred
in the past 12 months in the
Mankato MSA (up 2.4 percent),
St. Cloud MSA (up 2.3 percent),
Minneapolis-St. Paul MSA (up
1.2 percent), Duluth-Superior
MSA (up 0.8 percent) and the
Rochester MSA (up 0.4 percent).

People I speak with would like
to see a larger share of the surplus
returned to taxpayers and/or be put
in state reserve accounts.
In other news, House Republi-
cans succeeded in putting a bill to
help our long-term care providers
in position to come to the House
for a full vote at any time. The pro-
posal called the 5-Percent Bill
would increase funding for the
home and community based serv-
ices and intermediate care facilities
for Minnesotans with developmen-
tal disabilities.
Those who care for our states
most vulnerable residents have
been shortchanged on funding in-
creases for years and have made
great sacrifices during budget
downturns. Using surplus funds to
give them a much-needed raise
would not only help them get
caught up wage-wise, but also
would show appreciation for their
work and could attract additional
quality workers to this needed pro-
fession.
Sincerely,
Joe

Heres How It Works:
Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into
nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must
fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once
in each row, column, and box. You can figure out the order in
which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already
provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier
it gets to solve the puzzle!

Q: National Volunteer Week

unteer opportunities does the

A: Volunteer opportunities

count loons and frogs, plant
trees, bait hooks at fishing clin-
ics, build portable field desks,
and search for rare wildflowers.
Volunteer positions are listed

The costs of attending the
prom can start to pile up pretty
fast. For cost-conscious par-
ents and teens, a little relief
from those mounting costs can
go a long way toward ensuring
the night is still magical but
not a budget-buster.
Finding ways to save money
come prom season can be sim-
ple, and the following are a
handful of ways parents and
teens can make such a memo-
rable night more affordable.
Rent your gown. Guys rent
their tuxedos for the prom, and
gals can follow suit by renting
their gowns for the night.
Many stores rent gowns, and
since teens likely won't wear
the gown ever again, renting is
more practical than spending
hundreds of dollars on a dress
that's destined for the closet
once prom night has come and
gone.
Borrow your accessories.
Guys and gals can save money
on accessories by borrowing
certain items from Mom and
Dad and other relatives. For
the guys, in lieu of purchasing
a fancy wristwatch or set of
cuff links for the night, borrow
Dad's items instead. Girls can
borrow a necklace or earrings
from their mother, grand-
mother or an older sibling.
Buying accessories like jew-
elry for the night can be very
expensive while borrowing
such items is free. And none of
your friends will ever know
the difference.
Split the cost of a limo or
take Mom or Dad's car to the
prom. Renting a limousine is
considered a prom night tradi-
tion, so teens who must have a
limo can split the cost with as
many friends as possible to
save some money. If a limo is
beyond your budget, you can
have just as much fun without
the limo by borrowing Mom
and Dad's car. You can still
head to the prom with friends
if you borrow a car instead of
renting a limousine, especially
if Mom or Dad happens to
drive a minivan.
Take your own photos.
Many of today's teens have
their own smartphones, which
may come with a high defini-
tion camera built in. These
cameras are capable of taking
great photos, which can save
teens and their parents money
on the cost of potentially
costly photography. You can
still order a photography pack-
age if you want some profes-
sional quality photos, but
choose a smaller package and
leave the rest of the night's
photography up to you and
your friends.
Attend an affordable after
party. Some schools host their
own after prom parties at the
school itself, and such parties
are free or cost very little
money. Such after parties are a
fun and safe way to end the
night, and they won't break the
bank like a costly hotel room,
either. If your school does not
host a post-prom gathering,
head home at the end of the
night or plan an after party
with friends at one of your
houses. You will still end the
night with a few laughs, but
you'll also end it with a few
more bucks in your pocket.
April 2, 2014
A couple's wedding day is
the culmination of months
and months of planning. For
most, it is one of the most
memorable, magical days of
their lives, filled with fond
moments of time spent with
close friends and family.
As enjoyable as a wedding
can be, most brides and
grooms who have already
tied the knot can attest that a
wedding is a long, often tir-
ing day. It is very easy for en-
ergy levels to wane. To
ensure you have enough en-
ergy to last through to the
final good-bye of the
evening, follow these sugges-
tions to remain energized.
Recognize your wedding
day is a very long day. It's
possible to rise quite early in
the morning to begin prep-
ping with makeup, hair
styles, wardrobe and more. If
the party is an evening recep-
tion, it could last until the
wee hours of the morning.
You may find yourself up for
nearly 24 hours, when the
cameras will be flashing and
the video rolling throughout.
Naturally, you'll want to look
your best throughout.
Get to bed early the night
before so you will get ample
sleep and look rested. It is
understandable that nerves
and excitement may get the
best of you and make it diffi-
cult to fall asleep. If you
often grow anxious and strug-
gle to fall asleep before big
events, talk to your doctor
prior to the wedding to ask if
you can be prescribed a one-
time-only sleeping pill that
will ensure you get to sleep
promptly. Do not take this
medication with alcohol, and
be sure to take it only if you
can get a full 7 to 8 hours of
sleep. Otherwise you may ex-
perience medicine hangover.
Enjoy a hearty breakfast.
At breakfast on the morning
of your wedding, consume a
combination of carbohydrates
and protein. The carbs will
provide the initial burst of
energy you need to get going,
and the protein will keep you
feeling full. A combination of
whole wheat toast, fresh fruit
and Greek yogurt makes for a
filling start to the day.
Stay hydrated. Although
drinking a lot of water can re-
sult in more frequent trips to
the bathroom -- which can be
cumbersome for brides wear-
ing their gowns -- it is essen-
tial to stay hydrated.
Dehydration can result in
headaches, weakness and
dizziness and may make you
feel cranky. Be sure to con-
sume water throughout the
day.
Pack some snacks. The
time between breakfast and
the cocktail hour of a wed-
ding may be significant. In
your wedding "survival" kit,
be sure to pack some easy
snacks to eat. Trail mix can
be nibbled for a boost of en-
ergy, and a banana can take
the edge off of hunger pangs.
Avoid anything messy that
can drip onto clothing or get
stuck in your teeth. Arrange
to have snacks stowed in the
limousine or another mode of
transportation so that you can
refuel on the way to the cere-
mony or in transit to the re-
ception.
Don't overdo it with caf-
feine. It may be tempting to
lean on an energy drink or a
super-size cup of coffee to
give you the boost you need.
But caffeine is only a tempo-
rary fix. After the effects of
the caffeine wear off, you
could find yourself more
tired than before and crash at
an inopportune time during
the day. Instead, a brisk walk
outdoors may recharge your
batteries. Afterward, time
spent on the dance floor en-
joying the reception will
likely stimulate some adrena-
line to keep you going.
Eat dinner. When family
is beckoning and the photog-
rapher needs to get yet an-
other pose, it is easy to skip
dinner. Be firm with your de-
cision to enjoy your meal.
After all, you paid for it and
it should not go to waste. Be-
sides, sitting down to dinner
enables you to rest and ab-
sorb the atmosphere of the
wedding.
Continue to drink plenty
of water throughout the
night. Alcoholic beverages
may be flowing, but too many
spirits can compromise your
energy levels. Be sure to bal-
ance the booze with hydrat-
ing fluids, such as water or
juice.
Weddings take up the en-
tire day, and it can be easy to
succumb to a lack of energy
as the day progresses. But by
heeding a few tips, it's possi-
ble to remain in top form
throughout the entire wed-
ding day.

School News
Diane Hertwig had her
fourth-grade students write
what happiness is to them.
Christopher Klatt Happi-
ness is the sun peeking out of
the cloud and saying, Good
morning. It is a bottle of water
on a hot, summer day, how re-
freshing after a bike ride. Hap-
piness is a caring person on
Valentines Day who makes
you smile. Happiness is the
truth when it comes down to
the one who stole your donut.
Happiness is a sharp pencil for
taking a spelling test. Happi-
ness is one thing to one person
and another thing to another
person.
Abby Ojard Happiness is a
warm stuffed animal to cuddle,
a warm blanket to make you
comfy, and a cute puppy to lick
your face in the morning. Hap-
piness is a light mist to start
your morning fresh, and the
light to bring out the life in you
on a bad day. Happiness is
paint to put on your canvas on
an adventurous day. It is a
sharpened pencil to use to get
an A on your spelling test. Hap-
piness is to live, love, and make
memories. Happiness is one
thing to one person, and an-
other thing to another person.
Greta Brown Happiness is
a Harry Potter or another good
book to read about a great ad-
venture, and a way to get over
being bored. Happiness is a
pencil sitting on your ear when
you need to write something
down. Happiness is waking up
and realizing it is Saturday and
there is no school. Happiness is
finally being able to go to the
bathroom when youve been
waiting a long time. Happiness
is having your very own room
when you need some alone
time. Happiness is when the
snow finally melts and you can
go outside and play. It is not
having a cold anymore so you
can breathe clearly, and that
one scoop of ice cream that
tastes so good. Happiness is
friends and family when you
lost one of the only thing you
really needlove. Happiness
is one thing to one person and
another thing to another per-
son.
Emma Jost Happiness is art
class when you want to make
an awesome craft. It is making
bracelets on the loom when you
want something new to wear on
your wrist. Happiness is brush-
ing your hair when its a big
mess. Happiness is when the
snow finally melts, and going
to the mall to buy things you
really want. Happiness is con-
tinuing to read a good book
when you waiting to find out
what happens next, or writing a
good story when you have a
great idea. Happiness is a sharp
pencil to take a test with. Hap-
piness is one thing to one per-
son and another thing to
another person.

In addition to unnecessarily
higher costs, this mandate on a pri-
vate company has potential consti-
tutional issues.
TAXES
While Im happy that the legis-
lature repealed the job-killing busi-
ness-to-business taxes enacted
during the 2013 Legislative Ses-
sion (I authored a bill to repeal all
three), Im disappointed we were
unable to give back the tax money
already paid now repealed into
the state. If you paid sales taxes to
repair a tractor or any other piece
of capital equipment even if you
saved your receipts you will not
get your money back from the
State of Minnesota. This is very
frustrating since nearly half a bil-
lion dollars remains from our state
surplus, which would be more than
enough to repay farmers for their
unneeded tax contributions.
HOUSING
One of the committees I sit on
is the Housing Finance and Policy
Committee. The past four commit-
tee hearings weve held have been
entirely devoted to a single bill.
This legislation attempts to redirect
and further restrict money already
appropriated to the Minnesota
Housing Finance Agency. The bill
set aside $500,000 from the Chal-
lenge Grant Program specifically
for families who are facing eviction
due to their childs severe disability
such as autism. In another section
of the bill, it forces the Housing
Agency to create a pilot project
with no new money to offer 0% in-
terest loans to members of religious
groups with objections to paying
interest on loans, and try to close
the racial home ownership gap.
While I believe the goal of this leg-
islation is well-intentioned, I have
serious concerns about cost impli-
cations. In fact, the commissioner
of the Minnesota Housing Finance
Agency an appointee of Gover-
nor Dayton has said this bill
could put the agencys bond rating
in jeopardy. I certainly support
making sure people have a safe and
warm place to live, but this legisla-
tion is not the answer.
TEACHERS
Another committee I sit on the
Labor, Workforce and Regulated
Industries Committee heard a bill
that would change the definition of
what a teacher is according to
state law to include audiologists, art
therapists or music therapists. The
purpose of this law is to force the
70 employees to become part of the
unions bargaining unit. Not only
am I opposed to this legislation, but
Im particularly upset at the fact
that the author of the bill didnt
bother to ask those who would be
impacted how they felt about this
proposal. When pressed about who
asked the author of the bill to bring
this legislation, the author re-
sponded: Education Minnesota, the
teachers union. I truly expect better
of legislators in St. Paul than to put
forward a bill simply because an
influential special interest lobbyist
group wants it without any regard
for those who would be affected.
We need to remember that educa-
tion is about students first, not
adults.
If you have any questions about
these tax changes or concerns
about any state legislative issue,
you can contact me by e-mail at
Rep.Marion.ONeill@House.MN
or call my office at 651-296-5063.
You can also write a letter to me.
My office address at the Capitol is
229 State Office Building, 100
Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Blvd, St. Paul, MN 55155.
Sincerely,
Marion
Anyone whos ever been in-
volved in a school referendum
knows how hard it is to convince
a community to invest in building
a new school. It usually takes
years of discussion, public meet-
ings, collecting data to prove the
need, and the support of local
leaders. Its never easy, and
frankly, it shouldnt be. Hard-
working taxpayers will be paying
the mortgage for many years and
the new buildings will last a gen-
eration. This building should be
no different.
EDUCATION FINANCE
The K-12 Education Division
considered and passed, on a di-
vided voice vote, a Senate DFL
supplemental spending plan for
education. Under this plan spend-
ing would increase by $41.1 mil-
lion in the upcoming school year
(double that amount in the tails
of FY 2016-17).
This plan is not focused on or-
dinary school classroom needs but
on categorical formulas (such as
English Language Learners and
more free school lunches) and
programs that fall outside of ele-
mentary and secondary grades
(such as preschool scholarships).
If the spending target was simply
divided by the number of public
school students (840,941) then the
amount per pupil would be ap-
proximately $49. However, under
the Senate DFL proposal, the av-
erage per pupil increase statewide
to public schools will be just $8.49
with Minneapolis and St. Paul av-
eraging $20.72.
PENSIONS
This week, the Legislative
Commission on Pensions and Re-
tirement passed its 2014 Omnibus
Pensions Bill. The bill includes
consolidation of the Duluth
Teachers Retirement Fund into the
Teachers Retirement Association,
to be completed by June 30, 2015.
As a result, the state will pay the
Duluth teachers an additional $14
million every year in direct state
aid. In addition, the bill extends a
$7 million annual bailout of the St.
Paul Teachers Retirement Fund by
extending the payments from two
years to perpetuity.
TRANSPORTATION
Republicans have a plan to pri-
oritize spending for roads and
bridges without raising taxes. Re-
publicans want to make fixing
potholes and building roads and
bridges a priority over building
more light rail lines. I support a
transportation package that fixes
potholes and funds roads, not rail.
Lanes before trains! Unfortu-
nately, the DFL Majoritys plan
includes spending money on rail
projects that are wasteful and not
cost-effective. They always pro-
pose raising gas taxes to pay for
more transportation. We already
have a constitutional which man-
dates the State of MN to spend no
less than 60% on Light Rail, i.e.
transit and no more than 40 % on
roads and bridges. New legisla-
tion continually adds more dollars
for transit.
