75Todd County Board hearsequest to hire 2.5 ACA

positions

y Rin Porter

At its April 23 work session,

odd County Commissioners

eard from Health and Human

ervices (HS) Director Cheryl

chneider that she needs to hire

5 people to take on the work of

etermining eligibility of Todd

ounty residents for healthcare

overage under the Affordable

are Act (ACA), also known as

bamacare, when it goes into

ull effect beginning Oct. 1

Schneider said she had

eceived estimates that about

100 additional Todd County

esidents would be eligible for

ealthcare coverage under ACA.

hese people are not currently

eceiving coverage under other

overnment health plans, but

ould become eligible on Oct.1.

chneider said she does not have

nough staff to cover 1,100 more

pplicants and provide case

management services for them.

er department needs to hire

ualified people to process the

pplications that those residents

ill submit for ACA coverage.

The federal and state govern-

ments will pay for about 50% of

he salaries of the new employ-

es, but the county must pay the

ther 50%. The positions are

xpected to last for between

three and four years, until the

Minnesota State Health

Insurance Exchange is up and

running. When it is, people will

be able to file their applications

for ACA coverage online, without

the need for county employees to

process the applications.

Schneider told commissioners

that her department needs about

six months lead time to be ableto recruit and train the new per-

sonnel, so it is important for the

board to approve her request as

soon as possible.

Schneider said she expects to

designate one of the new employ-

ees to handle phone calls about

ACA, a second person to do

application processing full time,

and the part-time employee to

serve as a foreign-language

interpreter.

Commissioner Dave Kircher

raised the question of how the

county could hire people for only

three or four years, and then ter-

minate them. This would vio-late current union contracts.

Schneider replied that this

issue would have to be negotiat-

ed with union representatives

and addressed in union con-

tracts. She also said that she

anticipated that there would be

HAPPENINGShe Browerville Blade, Page 3 Thursday, May 2, 2013

Poodles were originally hunting dogs and were clipped to improve their swimming

ability. The 'pom poms' were left to ensure their joints stayed warm.

Each year there are ten fatalities due to shark attacks, however, about 100 people

are trampled to death every 12 months.

Wolves do much of their hunting in mountainous areas and echoes can distort their

ability to communicate. To alleviate this problem wolves howl at a frequency that does not echo.

It is commonly believed that 1 dog year equals 7 human years. This is not quite correct. The ratio

changes during the dog's life. At 1 they are about 15 human years, at 7 years old they are about 47

human years.

Deer account for more human deaths each year than snakes, wolves, spiders, and bears combined.

Because of their propensity to find their way in front of traffic, deer cause more human deaths annu-

ally than any other creature.

Dogs noses have a print similar to a human finger print with no two ever the same.

It's not surprising to learn that elephants poop a lot; however, the actual amount of dung excret-

ed by a grown elephant on a daily basis is shocking. The average elephant squeezes out about 220

pounds of excrement every single day. That's about the same poundage as a newborn elephant, which

generally weighs in at between 170 - 250 pounds

.As long as there are tests, there will be prayer in schools. ~Author Unknown

Peggys Potpourri Rich and Creamy Potatoes Au Gratin3 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and very thinly sliced

3 cloves garlic, minced

3/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup heavy cream, divided

freshly ground black pepper to taste

freshly grated nutmeg to taste

2 cups freshly shredded Gruyere cheese, dividedPreheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Place potatoes, garlic, and salt into a large pot, fill with enough

water to cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, and

simmer the potatoes until tender but not mushy, 8 to 10 minutes.

With a slotted spoon, transfer about half the potatoes to a 9x13-

inch baking dish.

Pour half of the cream over the potatoes, season with black pep-

per and nutmeg, and sprinkle half of the Gruyere cheese onto the

mixture. Top with the remaining potatoes; sprinkle again with

black pepper and nutmeg. Pour on the remaining cream, and

sprinkle with remaining Gruyere cheese.

Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese topping is crisp and

brown on top, about 1 hour.

Our lake is actually a large

man-made pond, built to control

ooding downstream. There are

ome disadvantages to dealing

ith a lake that can change

ater levels fifteen feet or more

n a matter of hours. During the

ood days, we can fish, swim,

nd enjoy the wildlife attracted

o its shores. We also have to

ve with the varying water lev-

s and the changes that entails.A huge old cottonwood tree

as left standing in the lake

hen the dam was built.

wenty years later, it has died,

roken off huge logs, and drifted

oward the dam. Two years ago,

most of the tree was stacked up

round the overflow tube, caus-

ng an unsightly log jam and

estricting to outflow of water. I

pent hours pondering what to

do about this when, last years

drought helped me out. By late

summer, the water level was the

lowest it had been since the dam

was built. My son and I were

able to get a tractor down by the

tube. Using a chain saw, we cut

the large logs into manageable

pieces, and dragged them off.

Cottonwood is a lot like

sponge. A four foot diameter log

is extremely heavy. After sever-

al cuts and much dragging,

Damon got the logs up on the

side of the dam where we could

burn them. They were well

above the highest level the lake

had ever gotten. We did not set

fire to them at that time since

everything in the area was

extremely dry, except of course,

for the logs. We were afraid we

would burn down most of the

county if we lit our soggy logs. It

would not hurt to let them dry

out for a few months.

As fall turned into winter, a

light snow cover would make meconsider lighting the log pile.

They had dried considerably,

but the surrounding grass and

timber was still fairly dry.

Last week, the rains came. In

one night, we got close to six

inches. The lake went from

about four feet below normal

pool to eleven feet above. For

the first time since the lake was

built, water flowed over the

emergency spillway as well as

full force out of the three foot

overflow tube. My wife and I

watched in amazement as the

lake grew from twenty-six acres

to over sixty. The island slowly

disappeared under the rising

water and geese, that normally

nest on the island or near the

shore, lost there nests. The dock

moved from where it normally

resides to the middle of the lawn

in front of the cabin. This is not

good, but better than ending up

a half mile away in the middle

of the hay field. My wife noted

the log pile at the end of the

dam was underwater. I had a

sinking feeling, since even soggy

cottonwood logs will float, that

the pile was not underwater,

just rearranged.

When the water level

dropped, we discovered the pile

of heavy logs was no longer in a

pile. Several hundred yards of

the opposite shore is littered

with big old soggy cottonwoodlogs. It will take a big tractor on

a dry day to again get them into

a pile to be burned. The geese

have a bigger problem. They

have to start their nesting sea-

son all over.

A person cannot predict the

weather and when nature

strikes, it is a good plan to just

get out of the way.

By Walter Scott

When Nature Strikes Letter From the Country

Three weeks post knee replacement surgery and working on improving

daily. Nothing I heard about the surgery was false--enough said.

I have been home for more than a week and things are going well. My

friend, Diane, who came to help me out last week went home, as I am able to

do simple housework myself now. The only thing left to conquer is the steps to

the basement, and I'm not ready for that yet. Sonny has been great bringing

things from the freezer and doing the laundry. I sort it upstairs and send it

down load by load, I still can't quite give up total control of that. He is so busythis time of year, especially with the late spring, yet he never complains about

having to get up out of his chair in the evening and bring me fresh ice packs,

or a diet coke, or whatever I ask of him. He is a peach of a husband.

Physical therapy has been helpful and I see more flexibility and greater

range of movement in my knees now, especially the left one. It hasn't been a

picnic I assure you. I know one thing for sure, I am not a fan of pain. If I were

ever threatened with torture I would spill my guts and even make stuff up if

they just didn't hurt me.

I want to thank so many people for all they have done to make this as easy

for me as possible.

First, the nurses and staff at Douglas County Hospital. Kimi, Aaron's wife

was my nurse part of the time and she was fabulous. Everyone there was very

helpful and professional. Thanks a bunch.

There was a SNAFU with going to a swing bed that had been preplanned,

but I went to a swing bed at Central Todd County Care Center instead and

they were great. The Courier had done a story on their rehabilitation depart-

ment not too long ago and their facility was wonderful. They went above andbeyond with my care and therapy. Every single employee I had contact with

was professional, helpful, and went out of their way for my comfort. I can't

thank them enough.

Now that I'm home many people continue to help me out. My sisters and

Mom have brought meals and done housework. They are also on the list for

driving me to therapy. Other family members and friends have done the same

and had Sonny over for a meal or two while I was gone and brought food to

the house. We are well fed with ham, casseroles, cake and brownies. Stacey

and her family had a grill out Saturday night, and as I am still not up to

going up and down many steps and must ice my knees often, Sonny went and

had an enjoyable evening and brought me a plate home. He is such a people

person and I hate having him sit home all the time as I mend. This was a nice

break for him and nice of my kids to invite him.

Finally, thanks Aaron, Stacey and Leah for pitching in and doing my work

at the Blade. This has been a long three weeks and there are three more to go

before I can drive. I think of you all each day and what you are doing to get

the paper out, the bills and accounts payable up to date and all the everydaywork of keeping an office running. I know when Aaron is fishing up north or

Stacey goes on vacation how much more work it is to pick up the slack, and I

have been out of the office for weeks and will be for a while yet. Thanks guys.

And thanks Stacey for picking up my mail and running to the library for me.

I don't know what I'd do without you all.

Peggy
