The Arlington City Coun-
cil, during its regular meeting
on Monday night, Jan. 6,
unanimously approved a mo-
tion to accept the request
from Arlington Police Chief
Bruce Rovinsky to be reas-
signed to the open full-time
police officer position effec-
tive immediately. The posi-
tion became open when Scott
Bennett retired effective
Wednesday, Jan. 1.
City Council members
James Jaszewski, Jennifer
Nuesse, Curt Reetz, Jason
Ruehling and Galen Wills all
voted in favor of the motion.
In conjunction with the mo-
tion, the City Council also
approved a motion to accept a
request from Rovinsky to
keep his hourly wage at
$22.50.
“As Scott Bennett is retir-
ing from the police depart-
ment and the City of Arling-
ton will be making a transi-
tion with the police depart-
ment, I would like to request
a change in my responsibili-
ties with the police depart-
ment,” Rovinsky wrote in a
letter to the City Council.
Rovinsky added, “I have
enjoyed my time as police
chief, but I love being a po-
lice officer serving the com-
munity and I have gotten
away from this the past cou-
ple of years.”
Interim
Police Chief
The City Council, in other
action, unanimously ap-
proved a motion to appoint
Marvin L. Doeden as the in-
terim police chief effective
immediately.
In conjunction with the mo-
tion, the City Council ap-
proved an employment agree-
ment with Doeden who re-
cently retired as a deputy
sheriff for Sibley County. He
will be paid $1,500 per month
with no benefits.
In related business, the Po-
lice Committee recently met
to discuss the job description
and salary range for a new
police chief as well as the
timelines for the application
process and the interview
process.
The City Council will be
updated on the matter at its
next meeting at 6:30 p.m.
Tuesday, Jan. 21.
Police chief requests reassignment to officer position
By Kurt Menk
Editor
Mayor Jim Kreft released
his mayoral goals for 2014 to
the Arlington City Council
during its annual organiza-
tional meeting on Monday
night, Jan. 6.
The first goal is to update
the comprehensive plan.
“In 2008, the Arlington
City Council approved a
Comprehensive Plan,” said
Kreft. “The plan was the
product of coordination and
cooperation between elected
officials, city committee
members, city staff and citi-
zens.”
Kreft continued, “A Com-
prehensive Plan is a docu-
ment that includes long-range
plans for land-use and zon-
ing, utilities, parks and green
space, economic development
and housing. A Comprehen-
sive Plan is a document that
also provides legal justifica-
tion for land use decisions
and ordinances, and helps en-
sure that growth will make
Arlington, not only bigger,
but better.”
Kreft added, “A Compre-
hensive Plan is only valid if it
is updated every five to six
years; the process to update
our plan will invite us to en-
vision our community in
2035, challenge us to identify
trends that will shape it, and
direct us to realize how we
can shape it ourselves. Be-
sides enabling officials to
holistically examine and pri-
oritize current and future is-
sues and projects, the final-
ized plan will act as a pliable
road map and hypothetical
timeline for completion or
implementation of projects
identified during the planning
process.”
The second goal is to plat
our Industrial Park property.
“In 2012, 22 acres of land
just southwest of the corpo-
rate city limits, adjacent to
the Minnesota Prairie Line
Railroad and Minnesota
Highway 5, were purchased
for the development of an
Economic Development Au-
thority (EDA) owned indus-
trial park,” said Kreft. “In
2013, we annexed the proper-
ty into the city, prioritized po-
tential access points to the
acreage from Highway 5, col-
laborated with representatives
from adjacent industries, ex-
amined potential funding
sources, and identified possi-
ble private industries with
whom to partner in the devel-
opment of the park.”
Kreft continued, “With this
background information gath-
ered this year, we are ready to
proceed with determining op-
timal lot lay-out, street and
infrastructure locations and
connections, and finally plat-
ting the property.”
The third goal is to prepare
for the 2015 Street and Utility
Improvement Project.
“In 2015, the City of Ar-
lington will undertake our
largest street and under-
ground utility project in more
than a quarter century,” Kreft
said. “The project will in-
volve street, curb, gutter, and
sidewalk reconstruction in the
areas north and west of Sib-
ley East Schools. Along with
these surface improvements,
corresponding water and
sewer infrastructure will be
updated. In addition, this
project will include the first
portion of an incremental,
long-range storm water col-
lection improvement of the
northwest quadrant of our
city. These types of periodic
maintenance and improve-
ment projects can be viewed
as analogous to roofing, sid-
ing and window replacement
in a home—they are under-
taken to prolong the life of
street and utility systems in
which the City invested pre-
viously.”
Kreft continued, “With the
goal of bidding the project
early in 2015, it is imperative
that, without delay, we com-
mence project design and en-
gineering, and secure advan-
tageous financing. This
process will deeply involve
our entire City Council, ad-
ministrator and engineer, and
the project will impact
dozens of property owners in
the area.”
The fourth goal is to create
a plan for the future use of
our Historic Fire Hall.
“In 2011, our staff depart-
ment heads and City Council
evaluated the condition and
uses of buildings and spaces
used by our city,” said Kreft.
“In 2012, the City Council,
with the goal of reducing re-
dundancy, concluded that our
city could increase efficiency
by relocating our police de-
partment to a remodeled Tech
Center building, thus consoli-
dating the spaces used by our
police, fire and ambulance
departments in that building
and re-christening it the
Emergency Services Build-
ing.”
Kreft continued, “The po-
lice department’s relocation
has left the Historic Fire Hall
building on Main Street
mostly vacant, and provided
our city with an opportunity
to examine re-uses of it. Pre-
liminary ideas for uses have
ranged from community or-
ganization meeting and stor-

Frigid Weather
People who did not have to venture or
work outside stayed indoors as temper-
atures reached 30-plus degrees below
zero on Monday, Jan. 6. Rodney Dose,
an employee for Skelley Towing, Belle
Plaine, was one of the few people that
the Arlington Enterprise saw working
outside as he received a wrecker call
along the 500 block of East Dayton
Street in Arlington on early Monday
morning, Jan. 6.

In anticipation of danger-
ously cold temperatures,
Governor Mark Dayton can-
celled all public school class-
es statewide on Monday, Jan.
6.
It was the first time that a
Minnesota governor had
taken that step in 17 years.
“The safety of Minnesota
school children must be our
first priority,” Governor Day-
ton said in a statement on Fri-
day, Jan. 3.
The National Weather
Service forecasted the lowest
temperatures in at least a
decade on Monday, Jan. 6.
The air temperatures reached
as low as 30 degree below
zero while the high tempera-
tures reached only in the
minus teens.
“I believe the Governor’s
decision to close school on
Monday was a good one,”
said Sibley East Superintend-
ent Jim Amsden. “We would
have closed given the temper-
atures on Monday one way or
the other.”
Tuesday, Jan. 7 was a dif-
ferent day, according to Ams-
den.
“Based on the criteria that I
have used (along with many
other superintendents), the
forecast put us in an area
where we would have school
likely with a two-hour late
start,” said Amsden. “On
Monday, the Minnesota De-
partment of Education
(MDE) and Commissioner
Cassellius issued a statement
that Tuesday was under local
control but cautioned every-
one on the severe cold. To
many superintendents, the
underlying theme was you
can have school but we are
not recommending it.”
Amsden continued, “After
the MDE statement, Min-
neapolis schools chose to
close and locally Mankato,
St. Peter, New Ulm, LeSueur,
chose to close. All superin-
tendents think about student
safety first and potential risks
to our students. As more dis-
tricts closed, no one wanted
to be the lone district that was
open and then have some-
thing go wrong either with
the forecast, equipment, road
conditions, etc. Ultimately
the dominoes began to fall for
closings.”
Amsden added, “When we
are in the five-minute and 10-
minute frostbite times I
would typically close or
delay until we are outside
those parameters. The fore-
cast for today (Tuesday) put
us in the 30 minute window,
but right on the edge of the
10-minute time frame. Thus
the original two-hour late
start. As all the other districts
surrounding us chose to close
it made the decision to re-
main open more difficult. Ul-
timately, I decided it was not
worth taking the risk that the
weather forecast might not be
correct.”
Dangerously cold temperatures

History
Jared A. Reiman, 22, Hen-
derson was sentenced to five
years probation in Sibley

dent in July, pleaded guilty to
criminal vehicular operation
and DWI. He was ordered to
pay over $17,000 in restitu-
tion, ordered to perform com-
munity service and submit to
home monitoring.
Reiman was reportedly
driving a golf cart on Turner
Drive in Henderson when the
16-year-old girl apparently
jumped off of the vehicle and
sustained a serious head in-
jury.

The Arlington Historical
Society (AHS), during the
month of December, received
a $1,700 grant from the Ar-
l i ngt on-Gayl ord-Gi bbon-
Winthrop Cable Commission
for the purchase of a comput-
er, software, projector and
microphone. The AHS will be
using this equipment to pro-
duce programs relating to the
history of Arlington and
vicinity.
Although these programs
will be aimed primarily at re-
lating stories designed to edu-
cate the public about Arling-
ton history, the recordings
will be made available to any
organization, public or pri-
vate, seeking a program about
some aspect of Arlington his-
tory. The programs, complete
with pictures and narrations,
can be shown by a teacher, a
presenter, or even public ac-
cess cable television without
further assistance.
AHS intends to have its
first program about the histo-
ry of Arlington Brick ready
by late spring 2014.

eye as the result of an accident
which occurred three weeks
ago. Melvin was doing some re-

in the act of driving an 8-penny
nail when the nail flew up and
struck his eye. The head of the
nail was embedded in the eye
ball so deeply that he had diffi-
culty pulling it out. He was
rushed to a hospital, where
everything possible was done to
save the eye but it was to no
avail. In a visit to the Enterprise
office Monday Melvin stated
that the eye was removed by a
specialist and that it would be
replaced with a glass eye after it
has healed properly.

The first baby of the new year
at the Arlington Municipal Hos-
pital is Mary Ann Eibs, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Eibs.
Mary Ann arrived Thursday
evening, January 2, at 7:43 p.m.
She weighed seven pounds, four
and one-half ounces.
Due to the rising cost of hos-
pital material, supplies, and in-
creases in employee wages, the
hospital board has found it nec-
essary to raise the room rates.
The increase amounts to $3.00 a
day for all rooms. Room rates
will range from $22.50 per day
in a four-bed ward to $28.00 per
day for a private room with a
bath.

The fifth goal is to assist the
Sibley East School District in
facilities evaluation and plan-
ning, and collaborate in the
creation of a joint community
recreation program.
“Recently, Superintendent
Jim Amsden has asked the
three cities in the Sibley East
School District for assistance
in assessing community needs
and how they tie to district fa-
cilities,” said Kreft. “Meet-
ings have initiated between
representatives of the three
cities and the district and it is
the intention of the district to
meld the incipient group into
a more formal facilities task
force. Through the initial
meetings, we have been re-
minded of the crucial value
the school district lends to our
communities, and been made
aware of possible areas where
the city can help further our
symbiotic relationship with
the district.”
Kreft continued, “In the last
months of 2012, initial con-
versations between city and
district staff were held regard-
ing a joint community recre-
ation program. Many is-
sues—cost, proportion of re-
sponsibilities, staffing, and
more—need to be examined,
but this is an extremely excit-
ing proposition that could re-
sult in shared summer recre-
ation programs, expanded
recreation opportunities for all
ages, and an enhanced com-
munity education curriculum.
Our Park Committee and staff
have begun examining the
costs and benefits, and the
City Council will soon hear
recommendations from
them.”

U.S. presidents often
struggle in their 2nd terms
Our View: Trend may continue with rollout of
President Obama’s health care initiative
Opinions
Guest Columns
The second term of recent U.S. presidents has often times been less
successful than the first term.
Some people refer to this tendency as the second-term curse. The leg-
end behind the second term curse is tied to President Franklin D. Roo-
sevelt who broke the de facto second term limit when he ran for third and
fourth terms. In response, some people believe that the ghost of President
George Washington might have put a curse on any president who seeks a
second term.
Curse or not, it is hard to argue with history. The second terms of sev-
eral recent presidents have been plagued by a major scandal, catastrophe
or failure.
After a landslide victory in the 1936 election, FDR announced a con-
troversial plan to expand the Supreme Court to up to 15 judges in order
to shift the political leanings of the branch to support the New Deal sup-
port. His plan was struck down in the U.S. Senate 70 to 22.
The second term of President Harry Truman was dominated by the Ko-
rean War. President Truman fired widely popular General Douglas
MacArthur for critical remarks made during the Korean War in 1951.
MacArthur returned to the United States and received a hero’s welcome.
During the second year of his second term in 1958, President Dwight
Eisenhower was hurt by the overcoat scandal. In the final year of his sec-
ond term, a U-2 spy plane was shot down over China while carrying out
espionage over the U.S.S.R. A humiliated Eisenhower was later forced to
admit that the jet belonged to the United States.
Decisions by President Lyndon B. Johnson to escalate the war in Viet-
nam during the mid 1960s inspired widespread protests in the United
States during his second term. There was so much opposition in his own
party that President Johnson did not seek a third term.
The infamous Watergate scandal led to the downfall of President
Richard Nixon during his second term. In 1974, he became the first and
only person to resign from the Oval Office.
President Ronald Reagan’s second term was rocked by the Iran-Contra
scandal in 1986. The scandal was massive and 14 people were charged
with either operational or cover-up crimes.
An extramarital affair with intern Monica Lewinsky and subsequent
perjury troubled President Bill Clinton during his second term. Although
he initially denied the affair in January of 1998, President Clinton later
admitted to his sexual relationship. The House of Representatives later
voted to impeach him on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice.
The Senate did not vote for impeachment.
President George W. Bush was dogged by public weariness over the
wars in Iraq and Afghanistan during his second term. His administra-
tion’s response to Hurricane Katrina did not help matters either. His sec-
ond term ended with the financial meltdown in 2008.
Will President Barack Obama continue the trend of the second-term
curse? He is off to a rocky start with the recent botched rollout of his Af-
fordable Care Act known as Obamacare. Only time will tell if President
Obama can overcome the second term curse of a U.S. President.

Although he was a qualified mete-
orologist, Hopkins ran up a terrible
record of forecasting for the TV
news program. He became some-
thing of a local joke when a newspa-
per began keeping a record of his
predictions and showed that he had
been wrong almost 300 times in a
single year.
That kind of notoriety was enough
to get him fired.
He moved to another part of the
country and applied for a similar job.
One blank on the job application
called for the reason for leaving his
previous position.
Hopkins wrote, “The climate
didn’t agree with me.
The boss joined a group of his
workers at the coffee urn and told a
series of jokes he had heard recently.
Everybody laughed loudly. Every-
one, that is, except Mike.
When he noticed that he was get-
ting no reaction from Mike, the boss
said, “What’s the matter, Mike? No
sense of humor?”
“My sense of humor is fine,” he
said. “But I don’t have to laugh.
I’m quitting tomorrow.”
There was a captain sailing on the
sea during a battle. His servant came
up to him and the captain said,
“Bring me my red shirt.”
So, the servant did as the captain
said.
After that the servant came up to
the captain and said, “Why did you
say bring me my red shirt?”
The captain said, “Well, if I get
shot they won’t see the blood.”
The next dy the servant came up
to the captain and said, “There are
50 ships on the horizon.”
The captain said, “Bring me my
brown pants.”

U.S. Senator
From opening our first E15 sta-
tion, to blending higher amounts of
biodiesel, to developing processes to
make renewable fuel out of new
feed stocks, Minnesota is leading
the way and driving the next genera-
tion of renewable fuels. We are uti-
lizing our resources and developing
new energy technologies that are
creating jobs, increasing domestic
energy production, and decreasing
our dependence on foreign oil.
Unfortunately, a recent proposal
from the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) to lower the biofuel
targets for 2014 threatens the
progress we have made.
The EPA’s proposed Renewable
Fuel Standard rule would for the
first time allow oil companies to
blend incrementally less—not
more—renewable fuel into the gaso-
line and diesel supply. It would cre-
ate a disincentive for fuel retailers to
install the blender pumps which are
needed to continue to increase our
use of biofuels. Without that infra-
structure in place, we will never be
able to develop the next generation
of biofuels.
This comes at the same time when
the industry has already been chal-
lenged by the uneven playing field
created by the fact that oil compa-
nies continue to receive billions of
dollars in subsidies while the
ethanol subsidy has been eliminated.
In Minnesota, the damages would
be felt in communities across our
state. The Minnesota Department of
Agriculture estimates the proposed
rule would lead to 1,500 lost jobs
and cost the state $600 million in
lost economic activity.
The rule change would create un-
certainty around a program that has
proven to be successful. Because six
years into a 15 year policy, the Re-
newable Fuel Standard is working.
It’s the equivalent of a football
coach benching the quarterback
midway through a winning season.
With so much progress, now is not
the time for drastic changes.
Our economy is in a better place
as a result of the Renewable Fuel
Standard. Nationally, the biofuels
industry supports over 350,000 jobs.
These are jobs that have been grown
right here in Minnesota in communi-
ties across our state.
With ten percent of our fuel sup-
ply now coming from biofuels, this
policy has also played a major role
in reducing our dependence on for-
eign oil. Since 2005, our depend-
ence on foreign fuels has fallen from
60 to 40 percent as we continue to
move towards homegrown energy
sources.
Finally, consumers are benefiting
from competition at the pump. In
Minnesota, sales of E85 have dou-
bled since the beginning of the year
because the Renewable Fuel Stan-
dard was helping consumers save at
the pump when they were filling up
with renewable fuels. It’s also worth
noting that at the same time we are
seeing an expansion in biofuels, gas
prices, while not as low as we would
like, are currently down, and corn
prices have gone down by 45%.
All these benefits are why I re-
cently organized a bipartisan meet-
ing in my office with 15 other sena-
tors and the EPA Administrator to
highlight just how important a
strong Renewable Fuel Standard is
to rural economies and to urge
changes to the proposed rule. It was
a constructive conversation, with
Democratic and Republican Sena-
tors from states as diverse as
Hawaii, North Dakota, and Michi-
gan making the argument for a
strong Renewable Fuel Standard.
I believe that legislative policy
works best when it is stable, pre-
dictable and provides businesses the
ability to make long term invest-
ments. We need to provide the cer-
tainty farmers and biofuel producers
need to make plans and investments,
and that is why I will continue to
fight to get a long term Farm Bill
done, and why we must work to-
gether to fix the proposed rule and
preserve the integrity of the Renew-
able Fuel Standard.
Preserving innovation in rural Minnesota
Catholic priests have rights, too,
and the Catholic Defense League of
Minnesota is pushing back against
recent attacks on the Catholic
Church, according to a news release
from the Catholic Defense League
of Minnesota.
“It’s been open season on priests,
and that isn' t right,” said David
Strom, spokesman for the League.
Accusations of abuse by priests
have dominated the news lately, and
in some of those cases it appears
that genuine wrongdoing has oc-
curred. In those cases, the League
believes that justice needs to be
served, and victims protected.
Now, Ramsey County Judge John
Van de North is being asked to en-
force an order that the Archdiocese
of St. Paul and Minneapolis reveal
the names of all priests accused of
abuse, even in cases where the accu-
sations were found to be not credi-
ble. That is a step too far, says the
League.
“Requiring the Church to reveal
names of priests who have not been
credibly accused of abuse is going
way too far,” said Strom. “In no
other profession would a judge re-
quire the disclosure of the names of
people who have been wrongly ac-
cused of a crime, especially such a
heinous crime.”
The Church has been publicly bat-
tered in recent months for its han-
dling of the abuse scandals, and
Archbishop Neinstadt has apolo-
gized for the Church's mishandling
of certain cases.
“If the Church is required to re-
lease the names of innocent priests
who have been wrongly accused of
abuse, then it only makes sense that
every business and government
agency be required to do the same
thing,” said Strom. “Perhaps the
media should publish every com-
plaint as well. The reason they don't
is that a false accusation can ruin
lives.”
The Lawyers Professional Re-
sponsibility Board adjudicates accu-
sations against lawyers for profes-
sional misconduct in private. Only
in cases where misconduct is found
are the names of the accused re-
leased. Teachers accused of abuse
are represented by the union and
given due process until the accusa-
tions are credibly substantiated.
“Accusations of abuse need to be
taken with the utmost seriousness,”
said Strom. “If the person is guilty,
they should be punished; if not, their
lives should not be ruined. Forcing
the Archdiocese to reveal the names
of people not credibly accused helps
nobody but the lawyers who benefit
from creating a climate hostile to the
Church.”
The Catholic Defense League of
Minnesota was formed in 1976. It is
dedicated to protecting religious
and civil rights.

One reason the total
number of items checked
out of Sibley County li-
braries in 2012 was down a
little from the previous year
was because there are more
users registered to check
out e-books than the num-
ber of books that are avail-
able.
The concept was said by
Linda Kramer, who gave
her final report of activities
as head of the library board
to Sibley County Commis-
sioners at the meeting on
Dec. 12.
In 2012, the circulation
of items was 182,653 com-
pared to 188,217 in 2011.
Kramer said students now
have iPads and the libraries
are used differently from in
the past.
The major change is in
the use of online books.
Some 6,000 people are
signed up for e-books, but
there are 4,000 selections.
“The libraries are still
very much viable in Sibley
County with more than a
third of the residents having
library cards,” said Kramer.
“Libraries are being used in
a multiple of ways. You can
create an account for maga-
zines to be sent on line.
Some magazines are only
on line. You can do every-
thing from home, all you
need is a number.”
Compared to checking
out e-books, with maga-
zines there is no limit. All
you need is a number. If the
e-book people want is not
available they go on a wait-
ing list. Classrooms can
read Newsweek, for exam-
ple, at no cost to the school
district.
Subscriptions are avail-
able system-wide with no
cost to buy into something.
It costs the county $3,000 a
year for e-books. The year-
ly fee is based on popula-
tion.
E-books are trending higher
at libraries in Sibley County

Minnesotans age 16 or older
can try ice fishing or spear fish-
ing without purchasing an an-
gling or spearing license if they
take a child younger than 16
fishing during Take-A-Kid Ice
Fishing Weekend Saturday, Jan.
18 through Monday, Jan. 20,
according to the Department of
Natural Resources.
“Take-A-Kid Ice Fishing
Weekend is a great opportunity
for family and friends to get
those special kids in their life
outdoors enjoying the fun and
beauty of a Minnesota winter,”
said Roland Sigurdson, DNR
aquatic education supervisor.
“What better way to celebrate
our winter heritage than by
passing on the tradition of ice
fishing.”
Ice fishing presents some
unique challenges, but with
basic equipment, a few skills,
and good planning, ice fishing
can be easy, enjoyable and ex-
citing.
Here are key ice fishing tips
from DNR’s MinnAqua pro-
gram, which provides resources
to teach fishing skills, aquatic
ecology and conservation stew-
ardship of our lakes and rivers:
• Dressing in layers is the
best way to deal with winter’s
icy chill. Layers keep you
warm in cold conditions by cre-
ating pockets of warm air and
helping moisture evaporate.
• Portable ice shelters can in-
crease the enjoyment of the ex-
perience by keeping kids
warmer.
• Plan for a shorter, quality
experience that will make a
happier memory. Cold, bored
kids don’t ask to go again.
• Bring snacks and warm
beverages to make a comfort-
able experience.
• Bring a variety of baits to
increase chances of success.
