Waconia paraprofessional earns associations' top honor

Amanda Phenix, a special education paraprofessional in Waconia Public Schools, is Education Minnesota’s 2026-2027 ESP of the Year. The winner was announced Oct. 24 at reception in St. Paul. Phenix has worked in the Waconia Public Schools for 21 years. As a special education paraprofessional, she works directly with students on Individualized Education Plans to meet the education goals established by their case manager and special education team. She does this through intentional engagement with students, checking in on their emotional and physical health throughout the day, and collaborating with teachers to shape lessons that meet students where they are at. Phenix says that building trust is one of the most important pieces of her job. “Building positive, lasting relationships with students in this setting is not optional—it’s essential,” she said. “It can take weeks, even months, to earn their trust. But once it’s there … students begin to open up, show up differently, and find success academically, socially, and emotionally.” Phenix’s colleagues praise her versatility and patience. Paul Tordoff, special education director at Waconia Public Schools, said Phenix “possesses a unique combination of compassion, expertise, and unwavering patience that makes her an ideal fit for our Waconia Middle School

County restores AIS funding, cuts custodial staff jobs

Carver County commissioners addressed two administrative budget recommendations at their Oct. 20 meeting. One related to the county’s aquatic invasive species (AIS) program, the second to custodial services. At a meeting in September on the county’s preliminary 2027 budget and levy, funding for the AIS program was eliminated after the state cut its contribution to county AIS programs by half — from $140,000 to $70,000 — to Carver County. However, at last Tuesday’s meeting, that program was restored after new funding surfaced from a combination of additional contributions from lake association partners and the reallocation of some funding from the Carver County Water Management Organization. Also, potentially additional funding from the city of Chanhassen which has Lotus, Lake Riley and several other lakes within its boundaries. In restoring funding, commissioners and program administrators highlighted the value of the AIS program, including watercraft inspections, education and awareness, and AIS monitoring and control. Regarding the second budget conversation, commissioners voted 4-1 to proceed with an administrative recommendation to subcontract additional county building custodial work at an anticipated 2027 budget savings of around $89,000. The move would eliminate two custodial positions and involve an amendment to expand contracting of custodial services with City

Brooklyn Park felon federally sentenced for possessing a firearm

United States Attorney Daniel N. Rosen announced that Antonio Depries Arnold, 34, of Brooklyn Park, was sentenced to 71 months in prison for being a felon in possession of a firearm. Arnold was sentenced before U.S. District Judge Laura M. Provinzino on Nov. 5, and he previously pleaded guilty on April 9. According to court documents, in January 2025, law enforcement began investigating Arnold after his name was found as a contact in a phone that was a part of an ongoing narcotics investigation. Agents began surveilling Arnold in February 2025, and when they observed him getting out of his vehicle, they conducted a swab of the driver’s door, and it tested positive for morphine. Agents also swabbed several items that were recovered from Arnold’s trash on April 15, 2025, and the items tested positive for morphine, cocaine, and oxycodone. On April 21, 2025, agents executed a search warrant at Arnold’s residence. As they approached Arnold, agents saw the defendant outside his residence, told him to get on the ground, and took him into custody. On the ground several feet away from the defendant, agents located a .45 caliber semi-automatic pistol. The defendant admitted to officers that the pistol belonged
