A Nonpartisan Publication of the Minnesota House of Representatives O March 14, 1997 O Volume 14, Number 10 A Nonpartisan Publication of the Minnesota House of Representatives ♦ March 14, 1997 ♦ Volume 14, Number 10 HF1251-HF1544 Session Weekly is a nonpartisan publication of the Minnesota House of Representatives Public Information Office.

The publication is a service of the Minnesota House. Back in 1923, Rep. Mabeth Hurd Paige felt welcomed when she and Rep. Hannah No fee. Johnson Kempfer were invited by a male legislator to sit next to him in the House chamber. Paige found out later that the seats were the worst places in the room to hear To subscribe, contact: legislative debate. Reps. Myrtle Cain and Sue Metzger Dickey Hough did not get great Minnesota House of Representatives seats either. Such was an introduction of the first four women elected to the Minnesota Public Information Office Legislature. They often endured insults from those who felt that making laws was a 175 State Office Building process for men only. St. Paul, MN 55155-1298 But the first four won. So did 118 others including the 61 females who now serve in (612) 296-2146 or the House and Senate. Even in the ‘20s, women played key roles. They authored bills 1-800-657-3550 to increase wages, blocked the Ku Klux Klan from wearing hoods, and promoted TTY (612) 296-9896 welfare for the indigent. Paige served for 22 years and became the first woman to chair a committee — Public Welfare and Social Legislation. Director Kempfer served for 18 years, supporting conservation and the welfare efforts of her LeClair G. Lambert colleagues. Welfare bills were tough to pass because the committee was looked down on by men. “Mother Kempfer,” as she was called, once made an impassioned speech Assistant Director/Editor Peg Hamerston in support of children. To complete silence in the chamber, Kempfer informed the body that she was an illegitimate child and was once an orphan. The bill passed. Assistant Editors Rep. Helen McMillan was the only female in the Legislature in 1971. During this John T. Tschida term, the majority leader said that female employees could not wear pantsuits. K. Darcy Hanzlik McMillan minimized the issue by stating that his demand was “utterly ridiculous” and even threatened to wear them on the House floor in protest. Art & Production Coordinator In 1973, she was joined in the House by five females. As a group, they laid the Paul Battaglia foundation for many others to seek office. Rep. Ernee McArthur served for only one term; Rep. Mary Forsythe served nine terms; Rep. Linda Berglin served in the House Writers for four terms and continues to serve as a senator; Rep. Phyllis Kahn continues to serve Steve Compton, F. J. Gallagher, and chairs Governmental Operations. The sixth legislator, Rep. Joan Growe, served Nick Healy, Celeste Riley for three terms before she was elected as the present Secretary of State. By 1992, women in the Legislature were no longer uncommon. Nor did they have Photographers to leave the House floor for personal needs. They now had their own restroom off the Tom Olmscheid, Laura Phillips, Retiring room — something the visionary Cass Gilbert did not foresee. Reps. Connie Andrew Von Bank Levi and Ann Wynia had already served as majority leaders. Dee Long was the newly elected Speaker of the House, making her one of two female presiding speakers in the Office Manager country. Long now serves as chair of the Taxes Committee. Toinette L. B.

March 6 - 13, 1997 Highlights Play ball . Proposed Twins stadium bill in play in the House After weeks of private debate over public financing of a new Minnesota Twins ballpark, Rep. Ann H. Rest (DFL-New Hope) has put a stadium bill into play. HF1367 received its first hearing in the House Local Govern- ment and Metropolitan Affairs Committee March 13. The bill retains many of the ideas pro- posed in the original deal announced earlier this session by Gov. Arne Carlson and the Twins. Snuffed out is the 10-cent-per-pack cigarette tax the governor proposed to pay for the stadium. “I didn’t believe the ciga- rette tax could survive [in the Legislature],” Rest said last week. Instead, Rest substitutes a 10-percent tax on professional sports team memorabilia and clothing with team logos sold in Minne- sota. No estimates are as yet available on the revenue potential of the taxes, but Rest said it would probably not generate as much as the $33 million annually expected from a cigarette tax.

    Former Twins playeq manager and broadcaster Frank Quilici dies By Brian Murphy I [email protected] I Pioneer Press- May 14, 2018 Frank Quilici, the second baseman who played five seasons for the Twins in the 1950s and later served as coach, manager and broadcaster for the organization, died Monday after a lengthy illness, the team announced. He was 79 and lived in Burnsville. Quilici spent his entire baseball career with Minnesota after being signed as an amateur free agent in 1961. He made his big-league debut in 1965 and was part of the Twins' American League championship team that lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers in a seven-game World Series. "The Minnesota Twins today mourn the passing of Frank Quilici," the club said in a statement released during the Twins-Mariners game. "Frank not only exemplified professionalism as a player, coach, manager and broadcaster for the Twins, he also served as a community leader in the Twin Cities working to make sure youth had recreational opportunities and contributed to many other charitable causes. "The club, like many of his friends throughout the game, is thinking of the Quilici family during this difficult time." Quilici played 405 games for the Twins over five seasons (1965, 1967-7A1. He was then hired by the Twins as a coach under manager Bill Rigney in 1971and before taking over managerial duties for the final 84 games of the 1972 season.
