Show The Soling Sun Wednesday. June 15 IQftfl 3 New American Legion Auxiliary officers elected Salina Chief under fire Salina City cut the salary of Police Chief Gordon Kiesel by more than $300 after heated discussion at last Monday nights City Council meeting. The action was taken when Councilman Roger Nielsen told the rest of the Board that Kiesel had chosen to begin taking part of his retirement along with his wages back in 1985. Nielsen said he felt it was morally wrong to be retired and continue working for the City and have retirement funds continuing to be added to his account Kiesel said that the law had been passed allowing peace officers to take some of their retirement because the officers dont have as long a life span as most other people, and to help keep the highly trained personnel at the top of the retirement scale working. Kiesel said his retirement was frozen at the 1985 level - and would not continue to raise until his final retirement, as it would have done. I may come out the loser on this one, he said. If I live to a ripe old age, I wontdraw nearly what I could have drawn in retirement funds if they hadnt been frozen at the 1985 level, he added. The Council said they had not known of the action, although at the time, the signatures of the Clerk and the Mayor were required on the papers Kiesel submitted. The Council had put Kiesels retirement funds into an annuity as is done with all other city employees retirement money. Guests present included Kent Nielsen, Mel Briggs, Claudia Nielson, Kevin Ashby, and Derek n.

The Board decided to increased liability to $ 1 ,000,000 for an additional $724. The insurance package presented by Briggs was approved. Kevin Ashby stated that Gayle was told at convention notto gi ve out minutes until they are approved. He asked to be given them so that he can get the news to the public.

Derek Andreason asked Council to write a letter of condemnation on a property in Salina. After discussion Council did not feel they were qualified or required to do this.

Claudia Nielsen and Kent Nielsen, representing the Economic Development Committee, explained their plans for a mini park.

Reavis Assistant Superintendent of Cincinnati Public Schools average was acceptable in school, so no one worried about it except the duck. Once upon a time, the animals decided they must do something to meet the problems of the new world. So they organized a school. The rabbit started out at the top of his class in running, but concentrated 50 hard on learning to sw im that he got watersoaked and took last place in the final exam races. The squirrel excelled in his teacher told him he must start from the ground up instead of from the treetop down. This made him develop Charlie horses from over exertion, and his climbing grades dropped to d. The eagle was a problem child and was severely disciplined. He kept insisting on using his own method of takeoff for his feathertip climbing, swimming and flying. To make it easier for the administration, all of the animals were required to take all of the subjects. The duck was excellent in swimming, in fact better than his instructor; but he could only make passing grades in flying, and was very poor in running. Because he needed more help on running, he had to stay after school and finally had to drop swimming in order to concentrate on running. Finally his webbed feet became worn and painful, and his grades went down and he was only average in swimming. But climb-ingtun- - regardless of what his teacher commanded him to do. At the end of the year a beetle that could swim well, also nin, climb and fly a little, had the highest average and was named Valedictorian of the class. The prairie dogs stayed out of school and fought the tax levy because the administration would not add digging and burrowing to the curriculum. The badgers, groundhogs and gophers joined with them and started a successful private school. 9. Lightning Who says lightning never strikes twice The idea that lightning never strikes twice in the same place is a myth. National Wildlife Magazine says that not only does lightning strike some places more than once, but some areas like Castle Rock, Colorado and Cape Canaveral, Florida are struck frequently. Upward moving air causes the frequent strikes near the Continental Divide, while converging sea breezes attract the lightning on the Florida coastline.
