Jan. 6 marked the first
Board meeting of 2015 for
Sibley County.
Returning Commissioners,
Joy Cohrs, Bill Pinske and
Jim Swanson welcomed the
two new Commissioners,
Bobbie Harder and Gary
Kruggel. At the first County
Board meeting, the Board
nominated Pinske as chair-
person of the Board and Bob-
bie Harder as the new vice
chairperson.
Official
Newspaper
The Board passed resolu-
tion #2015-02 designating the
Henderson Independent as
the official newspaper for
2015. This is the legal news-
paper for Sibley County to
publish the County Board
proceedings, legal notices,
and the list of real estate taxes
remaining delinquent.
The Board also passed res-
olution #2015-03 designating
the Arlington Enterprise as
the first newspaper for publi-
cation of the 2014 County fi-
nancial statement.
Years of Service
The Board passed resolu-
tions recognizing the follow-
ing individuals for their years
of service to Sibley County:
Harold Pettis who served on
the Board of Commissioners
from January 1999 through
December 2014, Jim Nytes
who served on the Sibley
County Board of Commis-
sioners from January 2011
through December 2014 and
Lisa Pfarr who completed her
fourth term as the County Au-
ditor serving in the Sibley
County Auditor’s office from
January 1999 through De-
cember 2014.
Project List
County Administrator Matt
Jaunich provided the Board
with a list of administrative
and other projects that have
been ongoing in the county.
Many of the county’s projects
will be put on hold until a
new administrator is hired.
Some of the items on the
project list include: the es-
tablishment of county goals,
review of the Sibley County
Economic Development
Commission (SEDCO) struc-
ture, to establish goals or a
work plan for SEDCO, a
“community paramedic” idea,
a financial management plan,
and a succession or replace-
ment plan.
Additional
Duties
The Board approved the
temporary additional work
assignment for Diane Bouch-
er. She is an eligibility work-
er in Public Health and
Human Services, but will be
taking on additional responsi-
bilities from Jan. 3 to July 3.
She will be taking up the po-
sition of a lead worker to
train in the newer staff. She
has the skills necessary to
provide on-the-job training
on procedures and program
requirements. Boucher will
be paid an additional $1 per
hour while she is assuming
these additional duties.
CSAH 17 and 34
The Board approved the
agreement with the City of
Arlington for the highway
maintenance on County State
Aid Highways (CSAH) 17
and 34. The City of Arling-
ton will be responsible for
0.74 of a mile on CSAH 17
and 1 mile of CSAH 34. The
city must keep the highways
smooth and in good repair,
provide snow and ice re-
moval, maintain roadside
vegetation, keep the road free
of litter and debris, maintain
suitable pavement markings
and furnish all labor, materi-
als, tools and equipment to
perform the routine mainte-
nance. The county will reim-
burse at a rate of $5,800 per
county highway mile, so the
City of Arlington will be re-
imbursed $4,292.00 for main-
tenance done on 0.74 of a
mile of CSAH 17 and will be
reimbursed $5,800. 00 for
work done on one mile of
CSAH 34. The City of Green
Isle will be reimbursed
$1,914 for maintenance on
CSAH 11.
Licenses
Approved
The Board approved hauler
licenses for nine Sibley
County solid waste haulers:
Sibley Electric, Waste Man-
agement of Winsted, Waste
Management of Mankato,
LJP Enterprises, River View
Sanitation, Renville Sibley
Sanitation, Elite Waste Dis-
posal, Gaylord Sanitation and
Mike’s Roll Off’s. Al Chris-
tensen, the director of Tri-
County Solid Waste, was glad
to see the approval of nine
haulers. Christensen said that
it provides competition which
results in lower prices.

The Honorable Kevin W.
Eide, Judge of the District
Court, released an order that
rural Gaylord resident Nathan
Kranz shall deposit with the
court a surety bond in the
amount of $295,000 for the
appeal process to move for-
ward. The order was released
on Tuesday, Jan. 13. No date
or deadline was included in
the order.
Kranz is appealing the re-
cent ruling by Judge Eide that
dismissed a lawsuit and up-
held the recent passage of the
Sibley East Public Schools’
$43 million building bond
referendum.
Kranz filed the appeal with
the Clerk of the Appellate
Court at the Minnesota Judi-
cial Center in St. Paul on
Tuesday, Dec. 23.
Memorandum
According to excerpts in
the memorandum from Judge
Eide, the Sibley East School
District moved the court for a
$6 million surety bond which
provides for a surety bond in
civil actions against a public
body. Sibley East argued that
its request for a surety bond is
necessitated in large part be-
cause the school district ini-
tially intended to offer their
bonds for sale on Wednesday,
Jan. 14. With the appeal of
the judge’s decision, the
bond sale must be delayed. In
his affidavit, bond counsel for
the school district, Thomas
Deans, argued that the bonds
cannot be sold until this liti-
gation is brought to a close. If
the sale of the bonds is de-
layed by three months, Senior
Financial Advisor Joel Sutter
said interest rates are likely to
increase by as much as .25
percent which would result in
additional costs to the school
district of $1 million. Preston
Euerle, President and CEO of
R.A. Morton Construction,
estimated that a delay in the
design phase of the construc-
tion would result in $50,000
of additional design costs,
and a three-month delay in
the commencement of con-
struction would increase con-
struction costs by over $1
million. He further argued
that a delay greater than three
months may be significantly
higher, potentially as much as
$8 million.
In response to the Sibley
East motion, Erick Kaardal,
who is representing Kranz,
argued that the motion for a
surety bond should have been
made under a Minnesota
Statute in connection with the
initial election contest. He
also argued that the court no
longer has jurisdiction to de-
termine the amount of a sure-
ty bond because this matter is
now on appeal. In addition,
Kaardal said the design
process is already underway,
and has apparently been
deemed an acceptable risk by
the district. Finally, Kaardal
argued that the expedited
briefing schedule and appel-
late process insures there will
be minimal delays in bringing
this matter to a resolution,
thus negating any need for a
surety bond.

Judge orders $295,000 surety bond in Kranz appeal

The Green Isle City
Council, during its regular
meeting on Tuesday
evening, Jan. 13, voted 3-
1 and adopted a resolution
to authorize the Joint Pow-
ers Board and its agents to
initiative the process to
consider providing an eco-
nomic development loan
to the Renville/Sibley
Fiber Cooperative.
City Council members
Brian Oelfke, John
Schauer and Mark Went-
zlaff voted in favor of the
resolution.
City Council member
Shawn Harms voted
against the resolution.
Mayor Dale ZumBerge
was ill and unable to at-
tend the meeting.
The proposed loan for
the construction of a fiber
optic network in 10 towns
and 17 townships, would
be funded through the is-
suance of general obliga-
tion tax abatement bonds
over a period of 20 years.
The cities and townships
within the project area
have the ability to issue
bonds for this purpose and
pledge their ability to levy
taxes as security.
Under the most recent
of four plans presented
for the fiber optic network
project, the backbone that
connects all 10 communi-
ties would be done in
2015. In addition, some
build-out would occur in
Gaylord and Winthrop
this year. The remaining
towns, including Green
Isle, would be built out in
2016.
Green Isle’s share for
this phase of the nearly
$8. 750 million project
would be almost
$495,800.
The second phase of the
project would be to initiate
the rural build-out of the
17 participating townships
in 2018.
If the RS Fiber Cooper-
ative is to implement the
plan as proposed, the City
of Green Isle’s portion of
the economic development
loan would need to be pro-
vided by the end of
March. The portion from
the townships would then
be issued in 2018 prior to
commencement of the
rural build-out.
This is not the Green
Isle City Council’s final
decision on the matter. A
public meeting will be
held before a final deci-
sion is made in March.
In addition to Green
Isle, City Councils in Fair-
fax, Gibbon, Winthrop,
Gaylord, New Auburn,
Buffalo Lake, Stewart and
Brownton have all made
similar moves to proceed
with the RS Fiber Project.
Lafayette was scheduled
to vote on the resolution
during a meeting on
Wednesday evening, Jan.
14.
Other
Business
Harms and Schauer took
their respective oaths of
office at the start of the
regular meeting.
Harms, who was re-
elected last fall, is begin-
ning his second term on
the City Council.
Schauer, who is replac-
ing former City Council
Todd Berg, was elected
last fall.
In other action, the City
Council voted 4-0 and ap-
proved a motion to change
the start of all regular
meetings from 6:30 p.m.
to 7 p.m.
The City Council, in an-
other move, voted 4-0 and
approved a motion to ap-
prove the annual Lions
liquor license for the din-
ner/dance which is sched-
uled for Saturday, Feb. 7.
In other news, the City
Council voted 4-0 and ap-
proved a motion to ap-
prove the 2015 meeting
schedule.
The City Council will
hold its next regular meet-
ing at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Jan.
27.
G.I. City Council votes
3-1 to further proceed

Tom Carothers is The
Chronicle’s new sports editor
as of Monday, Jan. 12.
A Richfield resident,
Carothers comes to the
Chronicle with several years
of experience covering both
high school and community
sports. He covered Twin
Cities metro sports over mul-
tiple seasons for both the Sun
Newspaper chain and online
for Patch. Sandwiched in-be-
tween those stints, he worked
for six years as the sports edi-
tor for the Woodbury Bulletin.
A south Minneapolis native,
the 41-year-old Carothers has
spent the majority of his life
living in central Minnesota –
save five years spent in west-
ern Wisconsin as a child and
four more post-high school
years in Iowa as a student at
Iowa State University.
He also has experience cov-
ering athletics at the profes-
sional and collegiate levels,
but finds his greatest joy cov-
ering sports at the communi-
ty/high school level.
In addition to rooting for
the state’s pro teams,
Carothers counts himself as a
passionate fan of the Cleve-
land Browns, Chicago Cubs
and Phoenix Suns due to vari-
ous childhood experiences. He
counts the North Stars’ move
to Dallas as one of the darkest
days of his life. When not
working, he enjoys watching
sports as well as playing soft-
ball or broomball, depending
on the season.
Carothers has been married
for nearly six years to his
wife, Eyota, Minn., native
Shawn, who works for Toro.
No children, other than two
nieces they dote upon. They
currently have three dogs
ranging in age from 2 to 14.

icle is owned by McLeod Pub-
lishing which also owns the

The Arlington Area
Chamber of Commerce,
with 10 members present
during its regular monthly
meeting on Monday after-
noon, Jan. 12, unanimously
approved a motion to keep
the dues the same for 2015.
The dues will remain at
$55 for businesses and or-
ganizations and $25 for in-
dividuals.
A discussion item to in-
crease the dues from $55 to
$75 for businesses and or-
ganizations and no increase
for individuals was on the
agenda during the meeting.
The additional money
raised with the increase
would have been used for
marketing activity in 2015.
Instead, the Chamber
plans to dedicate some of
the excess cash it has for
marketing activities in
2015. The Chamber cur-
rently has approximately
$29,000 in available money
from past dues and events.
At the end of the year,
the Chamber will examine
how much money was used
for marketing in order to
plan for 2016. In addition,
the Chamber wants to show
members what they are get-
ting for their dues.
In other business, Jim
Heiland presented an up-
date on the marketing ideas
to date. According to Hei-
land, the Chamber will run
14 20-second spots per
month on KNUJ Radio,
New Ulm. The cost will be
$58 per month for one year.
Heiland also proposed
ideas to run a monthly ad in
the Arlington Enterprise
and The Golden Galaxy. In
addition, ads could be run
on the new electronic sign
in the community.
Derek Hahn offered to
assist Heiland on the
Tourism/Marketing Com-
mittee.
In other news, Breakfast
on the Farm Committee
Co-Chairpersons Wendell
Terlinden and Tiffany
Brockhoff presented a brief
update on that event. A
farm location is still needed
for the event which will be
held on Friday, June 12.
The committee would like
to have a farm location by
March 1.
In other action, Past Pres-
ident Todd Sandberg an-
nounced that the Chamber
still needs a co-chairperson
for the Arli-Dazzle festivi-
ties. Lyle Rud has already
agreed to serve as one of
the co-chairpersons. Inter-
ested people can contact
Chamber President Kevin
Lindstrand.
In addition, the Chamber
still needs an individual to
serve as vice president this
year.
The Arlington Area
Chamber of Commerce will
hold its next regular month-
ly meeting at noon Mon-
day, Feb. 9.

an additional surety bond in
addition to the $5,000 surety
bond filed by Kranz with the
court upon his Summons and
Notice of Contest and Elec-
tion Contest. In the affidavit,
Dean convincingly argued
that the sale of the bonds can-
not commence until the ap-
peal if concluded and in-
vestors are assured that the
bonds will not be invalidated
by the courts. The court also
noted that there is a planned
design phase of six to nine
months and construction for
these projects is not scheduled
to start until later in 2015.
Kaardal argued that the school
district has moved forward
with the design work even
with the appeal pending.
However, the court is satisfied
that there is a high likelihood
that the design work has been
and will be delayed, costing
the school district an addition-
al $50,000. The court is also
satisfied that there is a high
likelihood that construction of
the Gaylord building will be
pushed back to a point requir-
ing additional winter con-
struction costs of $250,000.
The court does require the
posting of a surety bond in the
additional amount of
$295,000, representing the ad-
ditional design costs
($50,000) and the additional
costs for winter construction
($250,000) less the $5,000
surety bond which has already
been posted.
Original Lawsuit
Kranz originally contested
the bond issue special elec-
tion, which passed by a 1,634-
1,538 margin on Tuesday,
Nov. 4, on two grounds, ac-
cording to the court docu-
ment.
First, the School District,
acting through the clerk of the
School District, failed to pub-
lish the notice of the ballot
question two weeks prior to
the Nov. 4 election as mandat-
ed under Minnesota Statute
205A.07.
Second, the School District,
acting through the School
Board, failed to timely pub-
lish an adequate notice of the
Minnesota Department of Ed-
ucation Commissioner’s re-
view and summary of the
project(s) supported by the
ballot bond question placed
before the voters on Nov. 4 as
mandated under Minnesota
Statute 1233B.71, Subdivision
12. That provision re-
quired the Commissioner’s
comments of the project be
published at least 20 days, but
not more than 60 days before
a referendum for bonds relat-
ed to the project. The notice
failed to identify what project
the review and comment was
related to.
As a result of these two vio-
lations, Kranz contended the
ballot bond question election
results must be declared statu-
torily invalid under Minnesota
Statute 209. In addition,
Kranz and the group of con-
testants wanted to be reim-
bursed for attorney fees, costs
and expenses under Minneso-
ta Statute 209.07.

Opinions
Bickering starts as
Minnesota legislative
session gets underway
Our View: Compromise and reform are
two words seldom heard in St. Paul
Letters To The Editor
The Minnesota legislative session is barely a week old and
members of the Democratic and Republican parties are back
to their old games. Some members of both political parties
have done nothing but point fingers and criticize one another.
Democrats believe they are the voice of Minnesotans as
they have retained a majority in the Senate and control of the
governor’s office. Republicans, on the other hand, have the
same belief since they have reclaimed a majority in the
House of Representatives.
That is hardly a good start as the state faces many chal-
lenges and compromise and reform will be critical to resolve
those issues.
Members of both political parties will no doubt hold firm
to their respective beliefs while neither philosophy or ap-
proach alone will responsibly erase or eliminate problems.
Politicians from both political aisles cannot expect to get
everything they want during the legislative session this year.
They should and must come together to find common ground
and arrive at real solutions to the problems which challenge
Minnesota. Unfortunately, the two words “compromise” and
“reform” are seldom uttered at the State Capitol this time of
year.
As a result, the citizens will be the losers again when the
regular session ends in a few months. Henceforth, the state
will once again face many of the same issues and problems
next year.
This should come as no surprise to citizens across Minneso-
ta though. Politicians of both parties at the state level have al-
ways had other priorities. Their top priority is to get re-elect-
ed. Their second goal is party loyalty while their third objec-
tive is to keep special interest groups happy. The citizens are
sadly fourth on their list.
-K.M.
To The Editor,
It would seem appealing a ruling
would be handled fairly.   The State
of Minnesota Statutes requires an
agreed upon bond to sue.  It is a fig-
ure agreed to by the both the Plain-
tiff and the Defendant.  In the recent
suit both parties agreed a $5,000
bond would be provided by the
plaintiff to proceed.    
Though the suit comes after the
election, it is not about the election.
It is about what The Minnesota State
Statues require for a legal school
referendum.    Judge Eide heard the
testimony of a participant admitting
to realizing on the 15th of October
that the 20-day stipulation had
passed and scrambled to publish it.
The point is to have met the State
Statute for Publishing the Commis-
sioner findings, it would have had
needed to have been in the Oct.
9   issues of the Arlington Enterprise
and Gaylord Hub. Further it ap-
pears no action was taken to publish
the election requirements for the ref-
erendum in sufficient time to meet
the publishing guidelines of the
State Statute. This needed to be pub-
lished in both papers on Oct.
16.    Neither stipulation was met.
Knowing they had not met the legal
requirements no action was taken to
cancel the election. The Statutes had
been violated and going forward on
the advice of counsel does not make
it acceptable. The Judge disregarded
the Statutes, accepted the excuses,
and then dismissed the suit.  Cer-
tainly the appeal is justified.
So you want to appeal? Sibley
East School District has a hurdle for
you.  Have you ever been intimidat-
ed?  Anyone ever twist your arm,
beat you up, steal your lunch money,
threaten you with blackmail, or stick
a pistol in your face?
Ever had someone renege on a
promise?  Someone change the rules
near the end of a game? Welch on
bet?  Had a promise to be paid on
the 15th and be told on the 13th it
wasn’t going to be made? This is a
breach of contract.  It’s a breach of
trust.  
The Sibley East School District
agreeing first to an expedited appeal
and having agreed to the $5,000
bond is now asking for an additional
$6,000,000 bond from the plaintiff.
That’s right a 6 million dollar bond
to appeal. That my friends that is in-
timidation.  That is a breach of con-
tract. Why are they reneging on their
agreement?  What are they afraid
of? 
And what messages are they send-
ing? The District is now clearly
standing on the concept that dead-
lines are meaningless, and incom-
plete work is acceptable as long as
you have an excuse. The dog ate my
homework excuse is alive and
well.  And if that doesn’t work, you
are free to intimidate.   This sends a
terrible message, especially when
the State of Minnesota Statutes now
requires mandated reporting of any
bullying. 
Shame on the School Board and
the Superintendent.
And again what are they afraid
of? And why do they think the law
doesn’t apply to them?
Bob Rezner

What is Sibley East School District afraid of?
To The Editor,
This week I had the honor of tak-
ing the oath of office and officially
began my third term in the Minneso-
ta House of Representatives. I want-
ed to send along an overview of my
committee assignments and a pre-
view as we begin the 2015 legisla-
tive session.
Priorities
House Republicans announced
House Files (HF) 1-5 on Thursday,
detailing the first five bills of the
2015 session. These bills are fo-
cused on five key areas:
Job growth: HF 1 is a jobs bill
that will help businesses expand and
attract the skilled workers they need
in parts of the state that need better-
paying jobs.
Education: HF 2 will help schools
attract and retain the best teachers to
ensure quality education for every
one of our students.
Caring for our seniors and the dis-
abled: HF 3 will help attract talented
workers to work in nursing homes
and long-term care facilities, and
give Minnesotans options in plan-
ning for long-term care needs of
them or their family.
Improving roads and bridges: HF
4 would invest $750 million in road
and bridge improvements without
raising taxes.
Health care: HF 5 would rein in
MNsure and give Minnesotans more
flexibility in their health care with
the Affordable Care Act.
These bills are a starting point,
and are likely to change as they go
through the legislative process, but I
will be sure to keep you up-to-date
on their status. Please feel free to
contact me with your input as well:
you can send an email to
rep.glenn.gruenhagen@house.mn or
by phone at 651-296-4229.
Budget
Every two years the legislature
must pass a budget. This year, Min-
nesota is projected to spend more
than $40 billion dollars for the first
time in state history. The budget
passed during my first term was $34
billion. This rapid increase in spend-
ing is unsustainable, and very con-

A Harley biker is riding by the zoo
in Washington, D.C., when he sees a
little girl leaning into the lion’s cage.
Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the
collar of her jacket and tries to pull
her inside to slaughter her, under the
eyes of her screaming parents.
The biker jumps off his Harley,
runs to the cage and hits the lion
square on the nose with a powerful
punch.
Whimpering from the pain the
lion jumps back letting go of the
girl, and the biker brings the girl to
her terrified parents, who thank him
endlessly. A reporter has watched the
whole event.
The reporter addressing the
Harley rider says, “Sir, this was the
most gallant and bravest thing I’ve
seen a man do in my whole life.”
The Harley rider replies, “Why, it
was nothing, really. The lion was be-
hind bars. I just saw this little kid in
danger, and acted as I felt right.”
The reporter says, “Well, I’ll
make sure this won’t go unnoticed.
I’m a journalist, you know, and to-
morrow’s paper will have this story
on the front page. So, what do you
do for a living, and what political af-
filiation do you have?”
The biker replies “I'm a U.S. Ma-
rine, and a Republican.”
The journalist leaves.
The following morning the biker
buys the paper to see if it indeed
brings news of his actions, and
reads, on the front page: U.S. MA-
RINE ASSAULTS AFRICAN IM-
MIGRANT AND STEALS HIS
LUNCH... and that pretty much
sums up the state and national
media’s approach to the news
these days.

To The Editor,
Just prior to the 2015 session,
Governor Dayton told the people of
Minnesota he looked forward to
working with Republicans in the
new session. He promised us he
would work in a bipartisan manner
for the good of our state and would
be receptive to new ideas. By the
second day of the session, he had al-
ready broken that promise. Refer-
encing the Republican transportation
plan, he said it wasn’t even worthy
of discussion and that the Republi-
cans were in “La La Land!”
This week wasn’t the first time
Governor Dayton has attempted to
demean ideas that weren’t his own
with such sophomoric statements. In
past sessions he uttered similar
statements when Republican ideas
were presented to him, acting like an
angry parent dealing with a grade
school child. Well, he isn’t and we
aren’t.
I bring this to your attention so
you understand what we are dealing
with here at the Capitol. Perhaps he
feels such comments show strength
of character. They don’t. Maybe the
Governor thinks bad manners cou-
pled with narrow mindedness is a
good leadership quality. It isn’t. Mr.
Dayton doesn’t possess an acerbic
tongue or even caustic wit. No, he
has what’s known around the Capi-
tol as “Dayton’s incivility.”
As the session progresses, tension
increases and Dayton’s incivility
certainly doesn’t help. To the con-
trary, it becomes yet another barrier
for those who have legitimate differ-
ences with him to overcome on the
way to finding legislative solutions.
By contrast I urge you to follow
Speaker Daudt’s comments when
dealing with the Governor. Despite
the significant age difference, I think
you will find him to be more civil
and willing to work together to find
solutions that work for Minnesota.

There will be a total eclipse
of the sun on the morning of
January 24th. It will appear
early in the morning, therefore it
may be wise to get up early on
that day to make sure of seeing
it. It will be total in the Duluth
district and therefore almost
total here. It is stated that the
last time there was a total

The Green Isle Fire Depart-
ment was called out to the
Wilbert Panning farm home in
Green Isle township last Satur-
day morning when a raging fire
destroyed one upstairs bedroom
and damaged the remaining
rooms on the second floor. The
firemen confined the major dam-
age to one bedroom by chopping
holes in the roof and pouring
water through the windows. The
fire, thought to have started be-
cause of faulty wiring, was dis-
covered by the Panning chil-
dren.
Arlington Mayor V. L. Dahl

cerning for Minnesota moving
forward. Minnesota has a $1
billion budget surplus, which
will help a great deal as we're
crafting the 2016-2017 budg-
et. I plan to do what I can to
reduce wasteful spending and
ensure your tax dollars are
spent wisely as we move
through the budget process.
Committees
As you may have read in
previous updates, I will serve
on four committees this ses-
sion:
Agriculture Finance: The
agriculture finance committee
deals with all state spending
on agriculture programs, and
crafts the Agriculture part of
the budget.
Civil Law and Data Prac-
tices: This committee handles
any legislation pertaining to
civil law (non-criminal law),
and data practices issues in-
volving public access to gov-
ernment records.
Health and Human Services
Finance: The Health and
Human Services Finance
Committee crafts the Health
and Human Services budget,
the second largest part of the
state budget. Any state spend-
ing on public health programs
will go through the Health
and Human Services Finance
Committee. I plan to continue
my efforts to reduce waste,
fraud, and abuse in our public
programs, and ensure HHS
dollars are used wisely and on
effective programs.
Higher Education Policy
and Finance: The Higher Edu-
cation Policy and Finance
committee crafts the state's
Higher Education budget that
includes funding for the state's
public higher education insti-
tutions: the University of
Minnesota and MNSCU. Any
policy bills pertaining to those
schools would also come
through this committee.

Gas Under $2 A Gallon
According to Minnesotagasprices.com, the
average price of gasoline dropped under $2
per gallon last week. That is about 60 cents
lower than a month ago. At this same time
one year ago, the average was $3.23. It has
been nearly six years since gasoline has
dropped to under $2 per gallon in Minnesota.
By Al Franken
U.S. Senator
Minnesota
I’m grateful to the people
of Minnesota for giving me
the chance to serve a second
term as senator. And I’m
ready to keep fighting for
middle-class families and for
families aspiring to be in the
middle class.
Republicans now control
the Senate majority, and
while serving in the minority
will be a new experience for
me, my job will remain the
same: working hard for Min-
nesota.
And just as I worked across
the aisle during my first term
when Democrats held the ma-
jority, I’ll look for areas of
agreement with my Republi-
can colleagues. The cable
news shows might focus on
conflict, but I believe there’s
consensus to be found.
For example, both sides
agree we need to cut wasteful
spending so we can fund im-
portant priorities like educa-
tion and research and devel-
opment without running up
the deficit.
One area where I hope we
can work together is making
health care more cost-effec-
tive by encouraging providers
to focus on helping people
stay well instead of just treat-
ing them when they get sick.
And as a national leader in
developing reforms that save
money and improve out-
comes, Minnesota has a lot to
offer. This isn’t a partisan
issue; it’s just a good idea,
and it’s not the only one out
there.
Workforce development is
another. In my first term, I
helped pass a bipartisan
workforce training bill. But
there’s more we can do to
connect businesses, colleges
and workers so they can fill
some of the more than 3 mil-
lion jobs employers can’t fill
because of our “skills gap.”
I’ll also keep fighting to
allow 25 million Americans
(including 550, 000 Min-
nesotans) to refinance their
student debt so they can cut
their payments by hundreds,
even thousands, of dollars a
year.
I was proud that last year’s
farm bill included a section I
helped write to make sure
rural Minnesota benefits from
clean-energy and energy-effi-
ciency technologies. If we
want to address climate these
technologies must be part of
the solution.
I’ll also press for additional
infrastructure investments to
create jobs and help Min-
nesota businesses get their
goods to market.
My Republican colleagues
have many of these same pri-
orities and I’m hopeful that
we’ll be able to find common
ground.
But I also know there will
be times when I need to stand
my ground.
For example, I’ll oppose
any effort to chip away at the
Wall Street reforms we
passed in 2010. Rolling those
back, as some want to do,
would make us more vulnera-
ble to another economic melt-
down like the one that
crashed our economy in 2008
and hurt tens of millions of
middle-class families.
I’ll also stand up to any at-
tempt to repeal the Afford-
able Care Act, a law that pro-
vides enormous benefit to
Minnesotans. Since its pas-
sage, we’ve reduced the num-
ber of uninsured in our state
by 40 percent, and now an
unprecedented 95 percent of
Minnesotans are covered. We
can’t go back to the days
when Americans with pre-ex-
isting conditions were denied
coverage or when insurers
dropped you if you got sick.
We absolutely should work
across the aisle to fix prob-
lems with the law; but we
can’t let anyone take away
important benefits like allow-
ing children to stay on their
parents’ health plans until age
26, helping seniors to save
billions on prescription drugs,
and protecting people with
pre-existing conditions.
We have a lot of work to do
this year. And while the polit-
ical landscape in Washington
may have changed, my values
haven’t, and neither has my
commitment to working hard
for Minnesota. I can’t wait to
get started.

Beginning Friday, Jan. 23,
walleye regulations will be-
come more restrictive on
Upper Red Lake because of a
record December walleye
harvest, according to the
Minnesota Department of
Natural Resources.
The daily bag and posses-
sion limit will be two wall-
eye, and anglers must imme-
diately release all walleye 17-
to 26-inches long. Only one
walleye in possession may be
longer than 26 inches. The
current regulation allowed
three walleye in the daily bag
and possession limit.
Walleye fishing pressure
and harvest continue to in-
crease on Upper Red Lake
despite more restrictive an-
gling regulations that were
implemented on Dec. 1,
2014.
“Fishing pressure in De-
cember was more than double
compared to last December,”
said Gary Barnard, Bemidji
area fisheries supervisor.
“High walleye catch rates and
ideal ice travel conditions at-
tracted a record number of
walleye anglers to Upper Red
Lake this winter.”
Walleye harvest is up 57
percent from estimates for a
comparable time period last
year, requiring some action to
help curtail excessive winter
harvest.
Upper Red Lake harvest re-
strictions are necessary to
comply with a joint walleye
harvest plan agreement with
the Red Lake Band of
Chippewa. For more informa-
tion on Red Lake fishing reg-
ulations, go to the Web page.
More restrictive walleye regulations for
Upper Red Lake will take effect Jan. 23

No chronic wasting disease
(CWD) was detected in
hunter-harvested deer in
southeastern Minnesota dur-
ing the 2014 firearms season,
according to the Minnesota
Department of Natural Re-
sources.
The discovery of the dis-
ease in a wild deer earlier this
year in Allamakee County,
Iowa, triggered the Minneso-
ta DNR’s surveillance effort.
The Iowa county borders
Houston County in southeast-
ern Minnesota.
During the Minnesota
firearms deer season, hunters
voluntarily brought deer to be
sampled for CWD at eight
registration stations through-
out deer permit areas 348 and
349. In total, the DNR sam-
pled 411 deer within the two
permit areas.
“We thank Minnesota’s
deer hunters for their cooper-
ation,” said Erik Hildebrand,
wildlife health specialist. “By
voluntarily allowing us to
take samples from their deer,
hunters are helping us keep
our state’s deer herd healthy.”
This latest sampling effort
suggests that CWD does not

Yield Updates Guide –
Deadline is Feb 27
The office has been receiv-
ing questions regarding how
to complete the Yield Certifi-
cation worksheet. Please
read further for explanation
of worksheet and how to
compute your yields.
You will need to complete
CCC-859- Yield worksheet
for EACH farm that contains
base acres. Please note up-
dated yields will be 90% of
your actual yields from 2008-
2012 planted acres.
1. The worksheet needs to
have the yields listed for each
crop for each year that it was
planted in whole numbers on
a per farm basis. You may
have to calculate your yield
depending on if you have
multiple tracts or tracts that
you do not have production
for in a particular year. You
may also want to contact the
previous tenant to obtain
yield information if possible.
• Example of multiple
tracts on farm #3 for 2008
planted to corn:
Tract-12, has 20 acres of
corn, yield 175 = 3500
bu.
Tract-15, has 80 acres of
corn, yield 150 = 12000
bu.
15500 bu. / 100 ac. =
155 bu. yield for 2008
• Example of missing
yields on farm #4, for 2008,
planted to corn:
T-41, 30 acres of corn, no
yield available, use substitute
yield of 134 = 4020 bu.
T-45, 60 acres of corn,
yield 180 = 10800 bu.
14820 bu.(4020 + 10800)/
90 ac. = 165 bu. yield for
2008
2. The substitute yields will
be used for:
• any year that the crop was
planted and you do not have
the yields for it, (example,
purchased ground)
• any year that the substi-
tute yield is higher than your
actual yield for that year
• any year that you do not
wish to dig up records for
3. Substitute yields for Sib-
ley County for 2008-2012
are:
Corn: 134 bu. Soy-
beans: 33 bu. Wheat: 37
bu. Oats: 53 bu.
Note: You will use the
substitute yields for the coun-
ty where your farm is carried
administratively.
4. We will not be taking
your yield records at this
time; however, you will need
to have them when you are
pulled for a spot check. Ac-
ceptable records are: RMA
data, delivery sheets, and
anything used to verify data
you entered on the work-
sheet.
5. Once this has been com-
pleted, the owner will have
the option to keep the current
bases or to reallocate them.

Winter load increases
began on Monday, Jan. 12, on
unrestricted highways in the
metro, south and southeast
frost zones, according to the
Minnesota Department of
Transportation. Winter load
increases are already in effect
for the north, north-central
and central frost zones.
Vehicles will be allowed to
operate up to 10 percent over
the standard legal maximum
loads on unrestricted high-
ways during the winter load
increase period. However,
trucks must comply with cur-
rent registration weight laws
and not exceed registered
gross weight tolerances.
Drivers should check with
local agencies prior to in-
creasing any weights on city,
county and township routes.
The sign erected on the road-
way governs the load limit in
effect. A winter weight in-
crease permit is required to
take advantage of the 10 per-
cent weight increase on inter-
state highways only; a permit
is not required for state trunk
highways.
For questions about legal
weight/size trucking, call:
Minnesota Department of
Public Safety - State Patrol -
Commercial Vehicle Enforce-
ment; 651-405-6196 (select
option 3, option 3).
For questions about over
legal weight/size ‘heavy haul’
trucking, call: Minnesota De-
partment of Transportation,
Freight and Commercial Ve-
hicle Operations - Over-
size/Weight Permits, 651-
296-6000 or email:
ofcvopermits.dot@state.mn.us.
The start and end dates for
winter load increases are
based on how weather is af-
fecting roadway strength.
These dates are established
by monitoring roadway
strength as weather condi-
tions change. Therefore, the
ending date for winter load
increases is variable and driv-
ers must check for updates
throughout the year. Vehicle
operators are required to
check with MnDOT for the
exact start and end dates. All
changes are made with a min-
imum three calendar-day no-
tice.
For the most current infor-
mation, go to MnDOT’s auto-
mated 24-hour message cen-
ter at 800-723-6543 for the
U.S. and Canada, or locally at
651-366-5400 for the Min-
neapolis/St. Paul area. This
information is also published
on the MnDOT seasonal load
limits website at
www. mrr. dot. state. mn. us/

If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar;
