At the regular Sibley Coun-
ty Board meeting on Tuesday,
Jan. 5, Bobbie Harder was
appointed the new chairper-
son of the Sibley County
Board and Gary Kruggel was
appointed as the vice chair-
person. The Board also ap-
proved amending the rules of
order to allow the Board
chairperson to make and sec-
ond motions and resolutions
of the County Board.
County Website
The Sibley County Board
passed resolution #2016-01
making the official location
to advertise project bids for
the 2016 construction season
on the Sibley County website
www.co.sibley.mn.us. Public
Works Director Tim Becker
said that they will continue to
advertise project bids in the
newspaper, but the website
will now be the official loca-
tion.
Solid Waste
Licenses
Al Christensen, director of
Tri-County Solid Waste, pre-
sented the Sibley County
Board with the list of solid
waste licenses. The list in-
cludes: Sibley Electric, River
View Sanitation, Renville
Sibley Sanitation, Gaylord
Sanitation, Elite Waste Dis-
posal, Waste Management
(Mankato), and Mike’s Roll-
Offs. Christensen was
pleased with the list stating
that Sibley County offered
more options than Nicollet or
Le Sueur counties.
Christensen also stated that
after winning the Recycling
Association of Minnesota’s
Public Service Award for its
agricultural (ag) bag recy-
cling program, he has been
asked to speak at various lo-
cations including McLeod
County and the Solid Waste
Administrators Association
annual conference.
The ag bag program began
in Sibley County in 2007.
Farmers can recycle ag bag
plastic, seed bag plastic,
nylon feed bags, nylon and
plastic twine, and nylon mesh
hay bale netting twice per
year. Recycling is available
in Arlington, Gaylord, and
Gibbon in April and October.
The plastic materials are
shredded into eight to 10-inch
strips and have been sent to
Canada and the I-90 project
to be re-used.
Termination
The Board voted to termi-
nate the home care program.
Public Health and Human
Services Director Vicki Stock
stated that there is not enough
staff to run the program and
the program has decreased in
size every year for the past
four years. In 2014, the aver-
age monthly loss for the pro-
gram was $6,236.88.
Stock has found three
agencies that will come into
Sibley County and provide
the same level of services that
clients have been receiving.
Stock said that most of the
clients are receiving home-
making services. Homemak-
ing services include dusting,
sweeping, floor scrubbing,
personal laundry, grocery
shopping, and running er-
rands for the clients.
There are 10 part-time
home health aides and home-
makers that will be laid off
when the program is termi-
nated. These part-time em-
ployees work four to 12 hours
per week. County Adminis-
trator Roxy Traxler said that
these part-time employees
equal about two full-time
equivalents. No full-time po-
sitions will be eliminated. By
eliminating this program the
county anticipates a net sav-
ings of approximately
$70,000 in 2016. The county
will realize an even larger
savings if the recently vacat-
ed RN position is not filled.
Stock said that the Min-
nesota Department of Health
needs to approve the termina-
tion of the program. Once
the state approves the termi-
nation, Stock’s staff will noti-
fy clients of the termination
and work with them to con-
tact the new providers.
County Commissioner Bill
Pinske questioned whether
this change would result in an
increase to clients. Stock
stated that Medicare recipi-
ents and veterans will not see
an increase, but private
clients may or may not see an
increase. Private clients will
have to contact their new
provider to determine the
cost.
Drug-Free Grant
The County Board gave ap-
proval to Public Health and
Human Services to apply for
the second phase of the drug-
free communities grant. The
focus of the grant will be al-
cohol and marijuana use
among students. The grant
has a five-year cycle and the
current grant will end June
30, but the new grant would
not begin until Oct. 1. Public
Health and Human Services
Director Vicki Stock asked
that the county fund the grant
staff position during the inter-
im. The Board approved
funding the position during
the interim at a cost of
$17, 500 which will come
from reserves.
Harder voiced concerns
over funding the position be-
cause it is supposed to be a
grant funded position. She
felt that when the grant is not
available the position should
not be funded.

The Arlington City Coun-
cil, during its regular meeting
on Monday night, Jan. 4,
unanimously approved a mo-
tion to eliminate all part-time
positions on the Arlington
Police Department.
The City Council made the
move after a recommendation
from Arlington Police Chief
Cory Danner.
City Council members
Michelle Battcher, Jim Hei-
land, James Jaszewski, Jen-
nifer Nuesse and Galen Wills
all voted in favor of the mo-
tion.
With the move from two
full-time to three full-time
police officers at the start of
2015, there were not as many
open shifts to fill, according
to Danner.
In addition, the current
part-time police officers were
unable to cover a number of
those remaining open shifts.
Danner then recommended
that the Arlington Police De-
partment contract with the
Sibley County Sheriff’s De-
partment for coverage when
needed. He said the move
will also save money.
The City Council is expect-
ed to act upon the contract at
a future meeting.

The Sibley East Public
Schools and rural Gaylord
resident Nathan Kranz are
still waiting for a ruling from
the Honorable Kevin W.
Eide, Judge of the District
Court.
The Sibley East Public
Schools made a motion for
civil contempt and damages
against surety bond against
Kranz.
Sibley East asked the court
for that order in connection
with Kranz’s failure to obey
the court’s amended order for
surety bond and for a fine
and/or damages to offset the
increased costs that will ulti-
mately be borne by the
school district’s taxpayers as
a result of the contestant’s
protracted litigation.
Knutson, Flynn & Deans,
P.A., which is representing
Sibley East, said in an earlier
news release, “The motion
seeks an award of
$2,903,424, the additional
cost to the school district
over the life of the bonds as
computed by the school dis-
trict’s financial consultant.
The voter-approved bonds
were scheduled to be sold by
Jan. 14, 2015, but were de-
layed by appeals filed by
Nathan Kranz until June 10,
2015.”
Erick Kaardal, who is rep-
resenting Kranz, had sent a
summons to Sibley East with
a Notice of Motion and Mo-
tion for Rule 11 Sanctions.
Kranz is seeking attorney
fees as sanctions under Rule
11 of the Minnesota Rules of
Civil Procedure against Sib-
ley East. The motion is based
upon the recent filing of a
motion for civil contempt and
for damages filed by Sibley
East.
Sibley East is seeking a
post-judgment order for civil
contempt and damages on the
district court’s amended order
dated Jan. 22 which the ap-
pellate court adjudicated as
moot, according to the mo-
tion by Kaardal.
Judge Eide listened to oral
arguments on both matters on
Monday, Nov. 16, 2015.
He took the matters under
advisement and promised a
prompt ruling as in the past.
Judge Eide has up to 90
days to make his ruling.

Sibley County Health and
Human Services is offering
free radon test kits on a first-
come, first- serve basis to res-
idents in the Sibley County
area during “Radon Action
Month.”
People can obtain their free
test kit at the Sibley County
Service Center located at 111
Eighth Street in Gaylord or
by calling 507-237-4000.
Radon is the leading envi-
ronmental cause of cancer
deaths in the United States
and the leading cause of lung
cancer among non-smokers.
More than 21,000 lung cancer
deaths are attributed to radon
each year in the U.S.
Fortunately, the risk is
largely preventable, by test-
ing homes and fixing radon
problems. About two in five
Minnesota homes have dan-
gerous levels of radon gas
and state health officials say
every home should be tested.
Radon is an odorless, col-
orless and tasteless radioac-
tive gas that occurs naturally
in Minnesota soils. It can
enter into all kinds of homes
through cracks or openings in
walls or foundations. The
only way for residents to
know if their home has radon
is to test.
Testing is easy, inexpensive
and only takes three to five
days. The best time to test is
during the heating season, but
testing can be done year-
round. Test kits are available
at county health departments,
many hardware stores, or di-
rectly from radon testing lab-
oratories.
Tests should be done in the
lowest level of the home that
is frequently occupied. If the
home’s level is at or above
four piC/L, people should
consider verification testing
and having a radon mitigation
system installed. Anyone in-
terested in mitigating his or
her home for radon should
consult MDH’s list of certi-
fied radon mitigation contrac-
tors at
http://www.health.state.mn.us
/divs/eh/indoorair/radon/miti-
gation.html
During the month of Janu-
ary, the Minnesota Depart-
ment of Health (MDH) is
sponsoring radio and internet
ads in the Twin Cities and
Greater Minnesota to encour-
age people to test their
homes. In addition, MDH has
partnered with local public
health departments to make
test kits available to local res-
idents at low or no cost.
MN Radon
Awareness Act
The Minnesota Radon
Awareness Act that went into
effect on Jan. 1, 2014, now
requires disclosure and infor-
mation be provided to buyers
about radon during Minneso-
ta home sales. The law re-
quires sellers to inform buy-
ers whether their home has
been tested for radon and if
so, what the levels are and
whether the home has been
mitigated for radon. In addi-
tion, sellers must provide a
warning statement and a 2-
page publication to the buyer.
Radon tests can be incorpo-
rated into a home inspection.
The law does not require
radon testing or mitigation.
Another law requires all
new homes built since 2009
be built with passive radon
resistant features. About 1 in
5 of these newer homes have
radon above the recommend-
ed action level; this is an im-
provement over the levels
found in the overall Minneso-
ta housing stock where about
two in five homes have ele-
vated levels. MDH encour-
ages builders to activate the
passive radon resistant fea-
tures through the addition of
a radon fan. In addition, new
home buyers can request the
fan be added during construc-
tion. In these new homes with
radon fans, MDH has found
very low radon concentra-
tions.
MDH has been promoting
a Gold Standard for Radon
Resistant New Construction
Program to builders for over
four years. Companies that
participate in this program are
promoted through MDH’s
website and print advertising
and receive a point towards
the Green Path designation.
In addition, MDH provides
technical support to builders,
such as free radon fans for
model homes and radon test
kits.
To educate real estate pro-
fessionals and builders about
radon, MDH has been offer-
ing continuing education
classes at no cost. Real estate
companies, builders and their
associations that are interest-
ed in the classes can contact
MDH or review the course

A wedding of interest to the
many friends of two young peo-
ple of this city was solemnized
at St. Mary’s church Tuesday
morning at 9 o’clock, the princi-
pals being Miss Elizabeth Hipp,
daughter of Mrs. Mary Hipp,
and Mr. Martin Johengen. The
ceremony, which was performed
by Rev. Father Schlechter, at-
tracted a large number of rela-
tives and friends of the young
couple.
The Arlington Association
wishes to adopt a slogan to be
used by all Arlington advertis-
ers, for boosting Arlington, and
is offering a prize of $5.00 in
cash for the best slogan submit-
ted. This contest is open to
everybody, young and old, resid-
ing in Arlington and the country
tributary of Arlington.
The annual meeting of the
stockholders of the First State
Bank of Arlington was held at
that institution Tuesday after-
noon and there was an excep-
tionally good attendance. The
First State Bank is one of the
oldest institutions in the county,
serving its patrons in this com-
munity for over 30 years. It has
weathered more than one ﬁnan-
cial crisis during this long peri-
od of activity without a waver
and enjoyed a steady growth in
deposits during that time. It is
recognized as one of the
strongest ﬁnancial institutions in
the county. A air of optimism
pervaded the meeting of the
stockholders and they look for-
ward to a year of prosperity for
their bank as well as the banking
business in general, due to the
improved agricultural conditions
in the northwest.

Roger, the 13-year old son of
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Schneider of
Arlington township, is in the St.
Peter Community Hospital as
the result of a serious injury sus-
tained in a sliding accident Sun-
day afternoon. Roger in compa-
ny with other young people was
sliding on a hill on the Mor-
risette farm, and while coasting
at considerable speed his sled
struck a ditch and threw him
against a tree stump. It was
feared that the kidneys or spleen
were ruptured and his condition
was serious for several days, but
last reports are that he is holding
his own and physicians have
hopes for his recovery.
Mr. and Mrs. Bartley Hunt of
Arlington will be honored on
their Golden Wedding Anniver-
sary at an open house to be held
at their home on Sunday, Janu-
ary 13th. Mr. and Mrs. Hunt
were married at St. Thomas
Catholic Church in Jessenland

Arlington’s Boy Scout troop
received its charter on Wednes-
day evening of last week at a
meeting of the Lions Club
which sponsors the troop.
Mr. and Mrs. James Kath of
Arlington are the parents of the
ﬁrst baby to be born in the Ar-
lington Municipal Hospital this
year. The baby boy named Karl
Martin Kath weighed six pounds
11 ounces was born on Tuesday,
January 11.
By a unanimous vote the Ar-
lington city council at its ﬁrst
meeting of 1966, Monday
evening, voted to begin a pro-
gram of zoning. They agreed
that if the county adopts zoning
the city will engage the same
ﬁrm of consultants to help the
zoning here. If the city adopts
zoning now the federal govern-
ment will pay two-thirds of the
cost. Also by having zoning the
city and county become eligible
for many federal programs
which would otherwise not be
available to them.
County Commissioner LeRoy
Pinske attended the meeting and
presented some of the above
facts. He also stated that the
road leading east of Arlington to
the Sportsmen’s Park will be
graded this year and a new
bridge will be built over High
Island Creek.

A pilot project in tele-medi-
cine will explore new methods
of treating patients for medical
emergencies at the Arlington
Municipal Hospital. Other
Emergency Rooms included in
the linkage will be Elbow Lake
and Long Prairie Hospitals. Pa-
tients using the emergency
rooms at these three hospitals
will be treated by emergency
room physicians in Buffalo Hos-
pital via the interactive connec-
tion of tele-medicine during the
next two months of this pilot
project.
The ﬁrst annual Fish Boil
sponsored by the local Knights
of Columbus, will be held at St.
Mary’s Church Hall on Friday,
January 19 from 4:30-8:00 p.m.

along with an occasional small
walleye and perch, were caught
there last week.

Superintendent’s Note Pad

We are quickly approach-
ing the half way point of the
2015-16 school year and have
begun planning for the 2016-
2017 school year and beyond.
The Sibley East School's
building project is continuing
to move forward. District
residents may have noticed
activity on the Gaylord new
school site. Crews are in-
stalling a tile system to speed
site drainage and preparing
for excavation and ground
work beginning as soon as
possible this spring. Mean-
while, the planning and de-
sign phase continues for the
Arlington site and bid docu-
ments are being prepared for
a February bid phase for the
6-12 facility. Soil borings
will be completed at Arling-
ton in the next few weeks as
preparations are made to
begin excavation at this site
in early spring as well.
Wendell Architects contin-
ue to work on the Arlington
design in concert with RA
Morton Construction Man-
agement to determine the
building phases. Parents and
students can expect some al-
terations to the 2016-17
school calendar to accommo-
date construction. More in-
formation will come on these
possible changes in February,
2016.
While the building plans
and construction move for-
ward, staff are preparing for
what school programming
will look like as the new
schools open and welcome
students in the fall of 2017.
Administration and staff are
engaged in researching best
practice programming that
will be incorporated within
our new Pre K-5 and 6-12
grade alignments. There will
be a great deal of discussion
on how we make the best use
of the new facilities as well
as the combined staffing that
the new grade alignments
allow. I believe that we will
be able to increase our offer-
ings while maintaining
staffing levels that work
within the district budget.
The 18 months promise to
bring many exciting opportu-
nities and changes to our dis-
trict residents, students, and
staff. There will be times
where adjustments and incon-
veniences will arise. With this
in mind, we are working con-
tinuously to prepare and plan
to make the transitions over
the next months go as
smoothly as possible.

cerns, or comments regarding
Sibley East Schools please
feel free to contact me at the

SE building project continues to move forward

The Arlington Area Cham-
ber of Commerce, at its regu-
lar monthly meeting on Mon-
day afternoon, Jan. 11, ac-
cepted a letter or resignation
from Kim Schneider from her
position as chairperson of the
Arli-Dazzle Committee.
“As most of you are aware,
I have been trying to step
away from Arli-Dazzle for
more than two years,” said
Schneider. “With that said,
each year more of you step
forward and have taken on
much larger roles within the
committee. You have made
Arli-Dazzle the smashing
success that it is. Thank you
so much for your help and
your friendship. Many of us
have really become very
close friends and it has been
an honor and absolutely fan-
tastic working with each of
you.”
Schneider continued, “I
truly want you all to know
that my decision to complete-
ly step away from Arli-Daz-
zle really, really is hard for
me but is necessary. I would
not be stepping away if this
didn't impact my health.”
Schneider, who has served
as committee chairperson for
the past eight years, said
every successful event, com-
mittee or organization has a
change in leadership.
“Planning for Arli-Dazzle
2016 needs to start in March
in order to be ready for the
Labor Day Launch which has
become an important part of
the foundation of Arli-Daz-
zle,” said Schneider. “I will
place all of my files and sup-
plies in Chamber storage for
ease of access. I am of
course available for ques-
tions. However, plans and
preparations are in place for
this transition and all re-
source documents are avail-
able within our Arli-Dazzle
Gmail account.”
Schneider added she is
thankful for the opportunities,
experiences and friendships
that she has been blessed with
during the past eight years.
“Please don't let Arli-Daz-
zle fade away,” said Schnei-
der. “We have started a beau-
tiful tradition. Please help it
continue and flourish.”
Schneider resigns as chair
of Arli-Dazzle Committee

Minnesota Vikings have been
disappointing their fans
in big games for decades
Our View: The ugly loss to Seattle
should have been no surprise
Letters To The Editor
The Minnesota Vikings football team has ripped the
hearts out of their fans in big games for decades. It all
started when the favored Vikings were upset by the Kansas
City Chiefs 23-7 in the Super Bowl during the 1969 sea-
son.
Three more Super Bowl losses followed to the Miami
Dolphins 24-7 during the 1973 season, Pittsburgh Steelers
16-6 during the 1974 season and Oakland Raiders 32-14
during the 1976 season.
Long time Minnesota fans will argue that the best
Vikings team up to that time never even made it to the
Super Bowl. The Dallas Cowboys shocked the Vikes 17-14
on a Hail Mary Pass from quarterback Roger Staubach to
wide receiver Drew Pearson in the divisional playoffs dur-
ing the 1975 season.
A 23-6 loss to American’s Team followed in the confer-
ence championship two years later.
Since that time, losses in other conference championship
games have kept the Vikings out of four more Super
Bowls. Minnesota lost to the Washington Redskins 17-10
during the 1987 season, Atlanta Falcons 30-27 in overtime
during the 1998 season, New York Giants 41-0 during the
2000 season and New Orleans 31-28 in overtime during
the 2009 season. The pair of overtime losses really hurt.
The Vikings pulled the rug out from underneath their
fans again after kicker Blair Walsh missed a routine field
goal attempt in a 10-9 playoff loss to the Seattle Seahawks
last Sunday. Another big game and another loss.
Prior to the playoffs this year, a lot of Minnesota fans be-
lieved the Vikings were still a year away from making a se-
rious run in the post-season. That said, the loss still hurts
the Vikings fan base which has been aching for another
deep run in the playoffs and a return to the Super Bowl.
The pieces are in place for this young team and the loyal
Minnesota fans have nothing to do, but wait until next
year.

Hey, things could be worse for
you at the office! You could, for ex-
ample, receive feedback like these
comments, purported to be taken
from actual federal employee evalu-
ations:
• “Since my last report, this em-
ployee has reached rock bottom and
has started to dig.”
• “Works well under constant su-
pervision and when cornered like a
rat in a trap.”
• “Sets low personal standards and
consistently fails to achieve them.”
• “This employee is depriving a
village somewhere of an idiot.”
*****
For many years a woman worked
as a receptionist and switchboard op-
erator at a very busy company. After
a good annual review, the woman’s
supervisor told her that she was up
for a raise, pending approval of the
vice president.
A month later, the supervisor
called the woman into his office and
told her that the vice president had
refused to approve the salary hike.
His reason? The receptionist
and switchboard operator wasn’t
doing her job. Every time he saw
the woman, she was either chat-
ting with someone in the lobby or
talking on the telephone.
*****
Nothing makes your clothes go
out of fashion faster than getting a
raise.

A couple was watching the goril-
las at the zoo when several of them
charged at the enclosure fence, scat-
tering the crowd, except for one eld-
erly man. Later, the woman asked
the elderly man how he kept his
composure.
“I used to drive a school bus,”
he explained.
*****
The pastor of a church hates to
plead for money. But when the cof-
fers were running low, he had no
choice.
“There’s good news and there’s
bad news,” he told the congregation.
“The good news is that we have
more than enough money for all the
current and future needs of the
parish. The bad news is it’s still in
your pockets.”
*****
During a priest’s sermon, a large
plant fell over right behind the pul-
pit, crashing to the ground. Ac-
knowledging his reputation for long-
windedness, he smiled sheepishly
and said, “Well, that’s the first
time I actually put a plant to
sleep.”

To The Editor,
Constituents of the Sibley East
School District, today I announce
my candidacy for the position of
Sibley East School Board member
left vacant by the sudden and sad
death of Beth DuFrane. Though I
can never hope to fill the shoes of
Beth DuFrane, who worked tireless-
ly to keep the education and success
of our children a priority for citizens
across our district, I can commit to
continue the work Beth was passion-
ate about and to work with each of
you to assure that the Sibley East
School District will launch our chil-
dren in a manner that helps them
succeed in life.
As I thought about how we can
accomplish this goal within the Sib-
ley East School District I am led to
believe that we create pathways to
success for our children in a very
simple and basic way. By building
on the age old basics of reading,
writing and arithmetic; subjects that
may at first glance sound boring and
uninspiring, but that are all required
for our children to compete in a
global society. These basic princi-
ples do not limit the arts, technolo-
gy, drama or any other 21st century
endeavor our children will choose to
pursue, but they are the critical
building blocks for being able to
reason, imagine, and communicate
with a world that is changing by the
minute.
I invite you today to join me in re-
membering our past and imagining
our future and to be part of building
on the successes, meeting the chal-
lenges with courage, and working
together to help every student who
enters the doors of a Sibley East
School District campus be proud of
being a Wolverine.

Back to the basics, back to success
To The Editor,
The scientific community has
been telling the world that burning
fossil fuels and their production of
CO2 is having dire effects on the
world as a whole. Weather patterns
go out of whack; above freezing at
the North Pole; rising sea levels;
persistent repeat weather patterns
that cause flooding; droughts on the
west coast; forest fires that produce
air pollution; Minnesotans – remem-
ber the polar vortex? Maybe it is try-
ing to tell us something.
When things are done on a global
scale, it takes time and negotiations
for action to take place. It has taken
seven years of time to bring all the
nations of the world together to ad-
dress this problem which affects us
all. (Yes, even the 1% who seem to
think they are immune to such
drudgery.) The Paris Conference on
Climate Change was held the end of
November 2015 through the first
two weeks of December. President
Obama said in a speech from the
White House's Cabinet room and I
quote, “The problem is not solved
because of this accord, but make no
mistake, the Paris agreement estab-
lishes the enduring framework the
world needs to solve the climate cri-
sis. It creates the mechanism, the ar-
chitecture, for us to tackle this prob-
lem in an effective way.” This agree-
ment was signed by 195 countries,
both large and small. Does it solve
the problem? No, it doesn't, but it
gives us the means to solve it.
Now the hard part begins. Goals
set at the Conference were not bind-
ing and dependent on governing
bodies in individual countries to ap-
prove. One can hear the “deniers”
already - but, this matter is truly se-
rious. Fortunately, we have a presi-
dent who grasps the global picture
and a state Senator (Al Franken)
who has addressed this matter to
Congress. This should not be politi-
cal, but you can bet your bottom
dollar that it will be. The Big Oil
Companies do not contribute mil-
lions of dollars to candidates who
will look at the world as a whole,
but only to those who maintain sta-
tus quo and look out for the bottom
line of their contributors. In this
matter, it is extremely short sighted.
We are talking about a livable plan-
et.
Some of the items that were taken
into consideration at the Paris Con-
ference were the disparities in
wealth of the countries. Big,
wealthy, countries will help small
countries. Superfund should be cre-
ated to help people who currently
work in fossil fuel production and
handling with re-training. There will
be thousands of new jobs created for
“green” technology. We have only
begun to fight. Suggestions include
non-investment into more fossil
fuels. My suggestion is we start with
discontinuing subsidies of oil pro-
ducing companies. They need to
change. Smart companies would in-
vest in green technology. One of my
friends works with geothermal ener-
gy. This should be one of the places
where the “smart money” goes.
This is far more encompassing
than Beautiful Downtown Hutchin-
son. We are talking about a livable
planet for the upcoming generations.
This is serious business, folks.

Fune r a l
service will
be at Trini-
ty Evangel-
ical Luther-
an Church
in Nicollet at 11 a.m. Thurs-
day, Jan. 14. Pastor Dan
Witte will officiate.
Visitation was at Trinity
Lutheran Church in Nicollet
from 4 p. m. to 7 p.m.

to the service at the church on
Thursday, Jan. 14.
Burial will follow in the
Trinity Lutheran Cemetery in
rural Nicollet.
James Walter Krohn was
born to Walter and Wanita
(Burnett) Krohn in New Ulm
on Oct. 14, 1952. He was
baptized and confirmed at
Trinity Lutheran Church in
Nicollet. He attended a spe-
cial education school in St.
Peter where his teacher, Mrs.
Monica Daufenbach, took
him under her wing as he
grew up. Despite being born
with Downs Syndrome,
Jimmy refused to allow his
handicap to hinder living his
life. He grew up on his fami-
ly farm where he worked
with his father until Walter's
passing in 2007. Jimmy then
moved to the High Island
Creek Residence in Arlington
where he thrived. While
being cared for in Arlington,
he was able to live independ-
ently, and also work a job that
he took tremendous pride in.
He later broke his hip and re-
quired more advanced care,
and moved to the Good
Samaritan Society in Arling-
ton. After being hospitalized
at Ridgeview in Waconia
from his seizures, he was ad-
mitted to Oak Terrance in
Gaylord where he was al-
lowed to live the rest of his
life in comfort and peace.
Jimmy will forever be re-
membered as being the life of
any party. If it was bowling,
playing pool, wedding
dances, bar karaoke, or giv-
ing one of his famous speech-
es, Jimmy and his infectious
belly laugh would bring a
smile to anyone's face. Due
to the fact he was born a
Krohn, Jimmy also had a
wonderful gift to be able to
visit with anyone who would
listen. He also greatly en-
joyed sports. He loved fol-
lowing all of the Nicollet
High School’s sports teams,
but especially cherished
watching and following pro-
fessional wrestling. He was a
lifetime member of Trinity
Evangelical Lutheran Church
in Nicollet, the Sons of the
American Legion, and a past
member of the Nicollet 4-H.
Jimmy’s memory will forever
stay in the hearts of all of
those who knew and loved
him.
James is survived by his
sisters, Patricia (John) Rist of
rural Courtland, and Nancy
(Gary) Gatchell of Cushing;
brother, David (Jane) Krohn
of Arlington; sister-in-law,
Teresa Krohn of rural Court-
land; and many nieces,
nephews, cousins, and
friends.
He was preceded in death
by his parents; and his broth-
er, Donald Krohn.
And he will raise you up
on eagles' wings, bear you on
the breath of dawn, make you
to shine like the sun, and hold
you in the palm of His hand.

lence for his family, or to sign

City Engineer Joe Duncan
recently reported to the Belle
City Council that the em-
bankment work for the over-
pass/Enterprise Drive project
is “virtually complete” and
the borrow site has been se-
cured, according to an article
in the Belle Plaine Herald.
Previously, no work was
scheduled for the winter
months but due to a schedule
change with another project,
Duncan said the contractor,
S.M. Hentges and Sons of
Jordan, may begin pile driv-
ing for the bridge abutment
early this month. He added
that the guardrail around the
center pier might also be
completed soon, which would
allow the temporary concrete
barriers to be removed from
Highway 169.
At this time, the project as
a whole is approximately one
month ahead of schedule. The
completion date for the proj-
ect is Oct. 14, 2016.
Council told bridge work may continue through winter

The Sibley East varsity
boys basketball team lost to
visiting Norwood Young
America 77-68 in Minnesota
River Conference action on
Thursday evening, Jan. 8.
Junior Scott Holmquist
paced the Wolverines with 18
points. Senior Collin Pautsch
and sophomore Austin Weck-
werth also hit double figures
with 16 points each. Sopho-
more Gavin Bates tossed in
eight points while junior
Devon Schultz and senior
Dylan Pauly hooped six and
four points respectively.
Sibley East blistered the
nets after it hit 23 of 38 shots
from two-point range for 61
percent and six of 12 long
bombs for 50 percent. The
Wolverines, however, man-
aged only four of nine foul
attempts for 44 percent.
The visitors connected on
26 of 42 attempts from two-
point distance for 62 percent
and five of 18 shots from
three-point land for 28 per-
cent. NYA also sank 10 of 13
charity tosses for 77 percent.
Despite the setback, Sibley
East controlled the glass by a
26-15 margin. Schultz pulled
down eight boards while
Weckwerth snared six car-
oms. Bates added five re-
bounds.
The Wolverines, 0-4 in the
MRC and 4-8 overall, will
travel to G-F-W in non-con-
ference action at 7:30 p.m.
Thursday, Jan. 14. Sibley
East will host Mayer Luther-
an in conference action at
7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 19.
SE boys fall to NYA 77-68

The visiting Sibley East
varsity girls basketball team
lost to Norwood Young
America 66-41 in Minnesota
River Conference action on
Friday night, Jan. 8.
Senior Katie Tuchtenhagen
and junior Hannah Wentzlaff
hooped 12 points apiece in
the loss. Senior Alyssa Weber
netted eight points while jun-
ior Alli Harter had three
points. Senior McKayla
Stumm, sophomore Morgan
Stearns and freshman Rachel
Rettmann added two points
each.
“We went into the game
with two objectives, stop
their perimeter shooting and
Kali Grimm,” said Sibley
East head coach Jim DeSart.
“She is their leading scorer,
so we wanted to focus on her,
which we were somewhat
successful holding her to 12
points. We also wanted to get
their interior player Bren Fox
into foul trouble. She is tough
inside and we were success-
ful in getting her a quick
three fouls to soften up the
inside game.”
DeSart continued, “Though
the score doesn’t reflect it, we
had some pretty good min-
utes here and there in the
game. For the game, I was
pleased with how hard the
girls worked.”
DeSart said the Lady
Wolverines need to continue
working on their person-to-
person defense, taking better
care of the ball and getting to
the free throw line.
“We are lacking in the area
of attacking the basket off the
dribble,” said DeSart. “That
is where you get more oppor-
tunities getting to the free
throw line. Of the seven
games we have played so far,
we have given up an extra 51
points versus our team from
the line on the scoreboard
with opponents shooting
roughly 70 percent from the
line versus our free throws 54
percent. We need to become
better free-throw shooters in
general. That is a lot of points
to leave out on the floor and
shooting roughly 75 less free
throw attempts than oppo-
nents does not help win ball
games. We continue to work
at practice on shooting,
perimeter shooting and free
throw form. We have a lot to
improve on with shooting
form and continued funda-
mentals.”
The Lady Wolverines, 1-1
in the MRC 2-6 overall, will
travel to New Ulm Cathedral
in non-conference action on
Thursday, Jan. 14. Sibley
East will host Maple River in
non-conference play at 7:30
p.m. Monday, Jan. 18. In ad-
dition, the Lady Wolverines
will travel to Mayer Lutheran
in MRC play at 7:30 p.m.
Tuesday, Jan. 19.

The visiting Sibley East B-
squad girls basketball team
lost to Norwood Young
America 49-18 on Friday
night, Jan. 8.
Morgan Stearns topped
Sibley East with eight points.
Ali Stock scored four points
while Emily Tuchtenhagen,
Morgan Mathews and Sydney
Schott had two points each.
Stock contributed three as-
sists, three steals and two re-
bounds while Rachel Rett-
mann had four boards, two
steals and two blocked shots.
Schott collected four re-
bounds, one assist and one
theft while Stearns added
four caroms.
