The Arlington City Council, during its regular meeting
on Monday night, Oct. 3,
unanimously adopted a resolution to order Bolton &
Menk, Inc., Mankato, to prepare an engineering report on
the 2017 Street and Utility
Improvement Project.
City Council members
Michelle Battcher, Jim Heiland, James Jaszewski, Jennifer Nuesse and Galen Wills
all voted in favor of the motion.
The street and utility improvements will include
Fourth Avenue Northwest
from West Chandler Street to
West Alden Street; West
Brooks Street from Highway
5 to Third Avenue Northwest;
West Alden Street from Highway 5 to Third Avenue
Northwest; and Third Avenue
Northwest from West Alden
Street to West Brooks Street.
City Engineer Jason Femrite, a representative from
Bolton & Menk, will present
the report to the City Council
during its regular meeting on
Monday night, Nov. 7.
In addition, Femrite will
carefully review and study
the Baker Street Outfall in
order to determine the best
way to address the ponding
storm water at the intersections of 2nd and East Clinton
Street and 3rd and East Clinton Street. He will report
back to the City Council on
his progress.
The City Council, along
with Femrite, did not believe
he had enough time to put together a quality project for
this area in time for a 2017
project. The hope is that there
are some solutions to get the
water to flow out of that area.
Closed Meeting
The City Council, at the
conclusion of the regular
meeting, held a closed meeting for the purpose of considering the sale of the former
Technical Services for Electronics administrative building located along Highway 5.
The City Council, about
five months ago, voted 3-1
and approved a motion to
reaffirm its decision from one
year earlier and accept the
donation of the administrative building from Technical
Services for Electronics, Inc.,
at no cost.
AMETEK, the conglomerate that owns TSE, had a detailed appraisal done on the
building which shows a
$265,000 market value, according to City Attorney
Ross Arneson.
TSE, he said, has paid the
first half property taxes. The
second half property taxes
will be $1,042.
Other Business
The City Council unanimously approved separate
motions to approve the annual routine maintenance agreements with Sibley County for
County State Aid Highways
17 and 34.
The City Council unanimously approved the temporary road closure and use of
city resources for the Sibley
East Homecoming Parade on
Friday, Oct. 14.
The Arlington City Council
will hold its next regular
meeting at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 17, according to
City Administrator Liza Donabauer.
Council to buy 14.64
acres of land from the
Seneca Foods Corp.
By Kurt Menk
Editor
The Arlington City Council, during its regular meeting
on Monday night, Oct. 3,
unanimously adopted a resolution to authorize the City of
Arlington to enter into a purchase agreement with the
Seneca Foods Corporation
for 14.64 acres of land for
$200,000.
City Council members
Michelle Battcher, Jim Heiland, James Jaszewski, Jennifer Nuesse and Galen Wills
all voted in favor of the resolution.
The City Council adopted a
similar resolution about
three-plus months ago. After
months of negotiations, however, the most recent resolution is the formal one.
The City of Arlington owns
22.18 acres designated for an
industrial park which abuts
Highway 5 and the Prairie
Line railroad and has exhausted all options in order to
gain access to the land locked
parcel.
The City of Arlington entered into negotiations with
Seneca Foods to gain access
to the city industrial park
through the Seneca Foods
property.
The purchase agreement is
contingent upon the city’s receipt and award of state funding for infrastructure im-
provements by April 30,
2017. The closing will be
June 30, 2017.
The Greater Minnesota
Business Development Public
Infrastructure (BDPI) Grant
Program (state funding)
would cover no more than 50
percent of the infrastructure
costs for the construction of
an industrial park. The preliminary engineering estimate
for a complete project is $2.4
million which includes access, land, surveying, engineering, legal costs, road and
utilities.
Tax Abatement
The City Council unanimously adopted a resolution
to set a date for a public hearing on the approval of a tax
abatement resolution for the
purpose of funding development costs for the Cemstone
Products Company Project.
The City Council will hold
the public hearing at 6:30
p.m. Monday, Oct. 17.
The request is for a tax
abatement of $5,025 per year
for up to 15 years.
Cemstone, according to
city documents, has purchased 6.46 acres of land east
of Scott Equipment. Cemstone plans to construct an
approximate 3,360 square
foot facility on this property
and retain five jobs from its
current downtown location.

County Commissioners tour courthouse
By Amy Newsom
Correspondent
The Sibley County Commissioners recently toured the
courthouse with Travis and
Earl Fuechtmann of the Contegrity Group to view the
areas of the courthouse that
need repair.
Travis Fuechtmann stated
that “structurally the building
is in great shape.” The bulk
of the cost of the repairs will
be mechanical repairs. The
largest problems are the old
coal chute located between
the original building and the
annex, and the old boiler system. The coal chute is a safety hazard, and there is no
backup for the boiler system.
If the boiler goes down in
winter, there would be no
heat in the courthouse. Other
problems included water
leakage, damaged tuckpointing, window replacements,
and some minor cosmetic repairs.
Travis Fuechtmann stated
that the price of this project
may trigger ADA compliance. Sibley County hopes to
apply for a grant from the
Minnesota Historical Society
to cover some of the estimated $5.9 million cost.
The courthouse is listed on
the National Register of Historic Places and the work
would have to be approved
by the Minnesota State Historic Preservation Office
(SHPO).

Commissioner Bobbie Harder responds
to letter at recent county board meeting
ter’s new Siemens CT scanner.
Ridgeview Sibley Medical Center
upgrades CT scanner in Arlington
The Ridgeview Sibley
Medical Center recently upgraded its computed tomography (CT) scanner to a new
Siemens Somatom Definition
AS 64-slice scanner. The new
scanner provides advanced
three-dimensional images of
body organs and major blood
vessels and is most commonly used in scans of the spine,
brain, abdomen, pelvis and
heart.
This upgrade allows
Ridgeview Sibley to provide
patients with higher quality
and faster scans with a reduction in the radiation dose; and
most significantly, improving
scans for cardiac diagnoses.
“We are pleased to introduce enhanced imaging services at the Arlington campus,” said Cindy Steenstra,
director, Ridgeview Imaging
Services. “As an organization, it is our goal to provide
important specialty services
locally so patients don’t have
to travel long distances to get
the care they need. This technology is an example of that
commitment.”
About Ridgeview Sibley
Medical Center
Located in Arlington,
Ridgeview Sibley Medical
Center is a critical access
hospital—providing urgent
care, general surgery, and
24/7 hospital and emergency
services to residents of Sibley
County and the surrounding
area. It is part of the
Ridgeview Medical Center
network, which also includes
a hospital in Waconia, a multitude of primary and specialty care clinics, emergency
services and specialty programs, and Two Twelve Medical Center in Chaska. For
more information about
Ridgeview Sibley Medical
Center, visit www.sibleymedical.org.
Commissioner Bobbie Harder takes
a stand against frivolous spending
be reimbursed.
She was also frustrated
with departments using the
money in their budgets just
because they have money
left. She questioned why departments purchased things
they did not need just to use
up the money in their budgets. Harder also questioned
how two county employees
can go to the same conference and one submits a bill
for $450 while the other a bill
for $1,000.
She furthermore voiced
concern over the misuse of
equipment. Equipment is
abused and then it has to be
fixed. She said there was a
county vehicle that was one
year old and they had to replace rotors and brake pads.
She wondered if it was abuse
or the person’s driving habits.
She also questioned why the
county paid $80,000 in
mileage reimbursements
when County employees are
supposed to be using fleet
cars.
Harder said that staff need
to be held accountable.
“We have a budget for a
reason,” said Harder. “We
need to spend money on this
building.” Harder said she
would start voting against
claims and levies to take a
stand against frivolous spending.
Commissioner Bill Pinske
asked if she would take a
stand against all claims or
just ones that she disagreed
with. He said we “have to
pay our bills.”
Harder replied that she was
not going to be a part of
spending too much money.
RS Fiber will soon host community
events in New Auburn and Green Isle
The Renville-Sibley (RS)
Fiber Cooperative will be
hosting a pair of community
events in the communities of
New Auburn and Green Isle
to give residents the opportunity to learn more about RS
Fiber services.
The event in New Auburn
will be held at the Fire Hall
from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
Tuesday, Oct. 11. Local residents are invited to stop in for
a free catered dinner and to
learn more about RS Fiber.
The Green Isle event will
be held at the Green Isle
Community School from 5:30
p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Wednesday,
Oct. 12. A free dinner will be
catered by the Green Isle
Lions Club.
RS Fiber General Manager
Toby Brummer said RS Fiber
team members will be in attendance to answer any questions and assist individuals
with signing up for internet,
video and phone.
“We are looking forward to
let her know that she would
be writing some letters to the
media, but made it clear that
she has great respect for
Harder.
Commissioner Harder stated that she was angry with
the way Karau categorized
commissioners in her letter.
She did not like Karau’s comment that it is the Board of
Commissioners who were responsible for the state of the
courthouse. Harder also said
that she was angry with
Karau’s statement that commissioners were not fully informed and prepared to make
decisions. Harder stated that
she spends approximately 30
hours preparing for each
board meeting.
County Commissioner Jim
Swanson also addressed the
letter stating that he took offense to the insinuation that if
you are retired you don’t belong here. He also stated he
felt that the County Board
worked well together saying
that “we do good legislation
together.”

The Sibley County Board,
during its regular meeting on
Tuesday morning, Sept. 27,
voted 4-1 to approve the
county claims.
County Commissioner
Bobbie Harder said that she
would vote no to the claims
and any levy increases as a
stand against the frivolous
spending at the county. She
spends two to three hours
going over claims and has
been increasingly frustrated
by how money is being spent.
She wants Sibley County employees to use county money
as if “the Sibley County
checkbook is in their name.”
She feels there are too many
county credit cards and asks
if county employees would
spend as much if they had to
or past board members. She
stated if Sibley County Commissioners must be held responsible, fine.
“If I am a failure, fine.”
said Harder. She does not
want to look at the past, but
said she was glad that County
Administrator Roxy Traxler
is now addressing the repairs
to the courthouse. Harder
said she was adamant that the
courthouse be preserved and
not torn down.
Harder felt that the letter
lacked substance, accountability, and said it was “everything I would be against.”
She felt that while the County
Board members all came
from different backgrounds,
all the board members were
team players. She said that
Sibley County is “my heaven
on earth” and she was disappointed with the letter, but
not going to call the person
out.
Diana Karau then came before the County Board stating
that she was the writer of the
letter. Karau stated that she
had spoken to Harder and had

At the Sibley County
Board regular meeting on
Tuesday morning, Sept. 27,
County Commissioner Bobbie Harder addressed a letter
to the editor that appeared in
the Sept. 22 edition of the Arlington Enterprise.
Harder said she agreed
with one thing in the letter,
“Enough is enough.” She
stated that being a county
commissioner is a part-time
position. Some weeks she
works 20 hours and some
weeks “it feels like 100.” She
wanted to address the letter
because she felt that it was
important to shed the best
light on the County. She stated that Sibley County is a
wonderful place to live.
Harder stated that the
blame game was played in
the letter; trying to lay the
blame on someone or some
group of people for neglecting the courthouse. Harder
said nothing was brought up
by the prior administrator, department heads, maintenance,

Arlington and Green Isle
fire departments to recognize
Fire Prevention Week
Our View: It’s an excellent time to educate people,
especially young children, on fire safety
The Arlington and Green Isle fire departments will recognize Fire
Prevention Week from Sunday, Oct. 9 through Saturday, Oct. 15. It is
an excellent time for firefighters from both departments to educate the
general public, especially young children, on fire safety.
Since 1922, Fire Prevention Week has been observed on the Sunday
through Saturday period in which Oct.9 sits. It was established to
commemorate the Great Chicago Fire in 1871.
The Arlington Fire Department, in past years, conducted student
tours at the local fire hall. Local firefighters now visit students at the
Sibley East Elementary School and St. Paul’s Lutheran School. The
Green Isle Fire Department will again conduct student tours at its fire
hall.
The visits and tours primarily educate children on having smoke
alarms in every bedroom, outside each sleeping area and on every
level of the home. The children are also taught to have a fire escape
plan at home just like they do at school.
According to the National Fire Prevention Association (NFPA), half
of home fire deaths happen between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. when people
are sleeping. One quarter of these home fire deaths are caused by fires
that started in bedrooms and three out of five home fire deaths happen
in homes with no working smoke alarms. Smoke alarms should be
tested once a month and should be replaced every 10 years.
Children are also taught to know the location of fire extinguishers
in their homes and how to call 9-1-1.
In addition to these visits and tours, both fire departments will hold
other events during Fire Prevention Week. The Green Isle Fire Department will hold its 17th annul Fall Get Together at the Green Isle
Fire Hall from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 9. The Arlington Fire
Department will hold its annual Bring Home Fire Safety event from
5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 12. The Arlington Fire Department will also hold its first ever Fall Block Party on Saturday night,
Oct. 15.

Letter To The Editor
Address issues, not personalities
To The Editor,
It was with great excitement that I
listened to Commissioner Bobbie
Harder at the beginning of the board
meeting of Sept. 27 as she took a
stand against what she called the
lack of fiscal responsibility and
“frivolous spending” of Sibley
County taxpayer dollars. Commissioner Harder is taking a moral
stand, and choosing to vote no on
approval of claims and the upcoming tax levy and stated, “I’ve had
enough.” I publicly applaud Commissioner Harder’s position on this
issue and note that she is the only
member of the board that is attempting to closely examine the use of
taxpayer dollars, an issue I have
been addressing since the beginning
of my campaign.
However, imagine my surprise at
the end of the meeting when Commissioner Harder chose to launch a
tirade of criticims against a letter to
the editor. It was especially disappointing, given my conversation
with Commissioner Harder the week
before, when I made it clear that my
campaign remarks are not directed
at her. My letters to the editor raised
issues that require accountability for
the action and/or inaction each commissioner makes during their term in
office, nothing more, nothing less.
Commissioner Harder chose to
make her personal attack against me
sitting in that board meeting as the
Sibley County Board chair where
she represents all of the citizens of
Sibley County, including me.
Yes, every single member of the
board has a right to their personal
opinions and there are means of stating those opinions in a manner that
does not use the authority of the
board as a whipping stick against a
citizen. I hope this incident was the
exception and not the rule and that
no other citizen of Sibley County
will have to be the subject of a personal attack by a commissioner at an
official board meeting, ever again.
Like Commissioner Harder, I too
love Sibley County and that is why I
am standing up, speaking out, and
running for elected office. I have
chosen to address issues, not personalities in my campaign. That is as it
should be and what I will continue
to do until election day.

Guest Column
Ensuring competition benefits farmers, consumers
By Amy Klobuchar
U.S. Senator
In Minnesota, we are proud of
our farmers and farming communities. While most people know us as
the land of ten thousand lakes, we
have nearly seventy-five thousand
farms and are fifth in the nation in
agricultural production. We also are
home to many agricultural companies, both small and large. That’s
why having a food supply that’s
strong – one where farmers can afford to do business and consumers
can afford to buy farm products – is
really important to our state.
The recent mergers and acquisitions in the seed industry - including
Dow Chemical’s and DuPont’s proposed merger, ChemChina’s proposed acquisition of Syngenta, and
Bayer’s proposed acquisition of
Monsanto - could have great consequences for Minnesota. These three
transactions are substantial, and they
could reduce the six major agribusiness companies to four.
I serve as the Ranking Member of
the Antitrust Subcommittee, and I
take seriously my responsibility to
provide oversight on potential consolidations and to ensure that antitrust laws are vigorously enforced
to protect competition. In the past
year we’ve examined many issues,
Staff

Kurt Menk, Editor; Barb Mathwig, Office; Ashley Reetz, Sales;
and Jean Olson, Proof Reading.
including competition in the thriving
craft brewery business and the rising
costs for health care and prescription
drugs. And recently, along with
Chairman Chuck Grassley, I led a
hearing in the Senate Judiciary
Committee to examine the impact of
these potential seed industry consolidations on farmers and consumers.
First, we want to make sure that
there is robust competition to develop new and better products for farmers and consumers. We want to encourage innovation, and one of the
best ways to do this is through companies competing with each other.
With less competition, farmers face
companies focusing on limited areas
of research and not competing with
each other for the next technological
breakthrough. This is especially important during our current times of
water shortages and other challenges, when we need more research, not less.
Another concern is that these consolidations will encourage the
merged companies to integrate vertically, meaning that each company
will assume control over its entire
production process, from research to
production to transportation. This
would diminish incentives for these
larger companies to compete for
customers. It would also make it
harder for smaller research companies to enter the market in the first
place and to grow and expand.
Let’s be clear, we ask a lot of rural
America. Farmers make large investments in their crops and their
livestock, buildings and equipment,
and can face heavy losses due to
natural and market circumstances
beyond their control. Our state has
had its share of storms, drought and
flooding in recent years – hundreds
of millions of dollars in total losses.
At the same time, our consumers expect to have farm goods and products at a fair price.
Our farmers and consumers face
enough of these challenges without
adding the additional burden of an
anti-competitive market. Consumers
shouldn’t be faced with unnecessary,
higher costs because of lack of competition. Farmers don’t need costs
for seeds going up more, either.
They also have a right to be able to
support their family and not be the
ones to bear the brunt of major consolidations.
It is our responsibility to consumers and to the farmers who produce our food to level the playing
field. That’s why I’m going to keep
pushing for competition in the seed
and agriculture industry.

building and for the reconsidering of the vote cast in the special meeting held on June 5th.
At the meeting in June bonds
were voted to the amount of
$4,000.00 but after investigating, it was found that this
amount was not large enough to
erect a building to accommodate
the high school, as was first
thought it would. The new bond
amount of $10,000 was voted on
and carried.
The new church bell for St.

Miss Esther Bliss, America’s
only surviving daughter of the
War of 1812, celebrated her
101st birthday on September
24th at her home near Belle
Plaine. Miss Bliss goes into her
second century of life with her
facilties unimpaired. Her hearing is poor but her eyesight remains good and she can readily
converse on any subject. Miss
Bliss is both a daughter of the
War of 1812 and a granddaughter of the Revolution. Miss Bliss
was born in Springfield, Mass.,
Sept. 24, 1850, and was six
years old when her parents
brought her here in 1856 and the
home she has occupied all these
years is a part of the original
Bliss homestead.
We are pleased to record the
fact that our good friend Andrew Beseke, one of the oldest
of our native born citizens, observed his 88th birthday last
week Wednesday. One bit of
Andrew’s history always lingers
in our mind: When he was 18
years of age (about 70 years
ago) he got himself a job as a
“spike boy” with the construction gang which built the M. &
St. L. track through Arlington.
That was in 1881. It was Andrew’s job to carry the big
spikes used to tack down the
rails. He handled all the spikes
for the track between Arlington
and Winthrop, when he quit his
job as he was getting too far
away from home.
At a meeting of the City
Council on Monday evening,
Fred Matz was appointed to fill
the unexpired term of Alderman

The Trailblazer Transit
Joint Powers Board will
spend about three hours in a
workshop session Oct. 20
with attorney Frank Madden
of Madden Galanter Hansen
LLP. The law firm specializes
in labor issues.
With that in mind, the Joint
Powers Board recently tabled
most of the items on its meeting agenda until its regular
meeting in November, hoping
that the workshop will set parameters for taking them up
again.
Sandi Blaeser, an attorney
with Madden Galanter
Hansen, said the workshop is
needed to re-establish unity
among the board and relationships with employees.
“The board workshop is
critically essential,” said
Blaeser. “We need to discuss
matters like how roles and responsibilities are indicated.
We need to have that clarified
before we take on the issues
that were brought up. Our
goal is to make this a more
effective board. I think it’s
very appropriate to have this
workshop.”
Among the issues that were
deferred to after the work-
shop were a letter of reprimand for Trailblazer Executive Director Gary Ludwig, a
letter of concern from Trailblazer’s two operations managers and human resources
director regarding two board
members’ roles in a recent
employee matter, a letter
from a Wright County Area
Transportation (WCAT) attorney regarding possible improper action by the board in
regard to the letter of reprimand and a possible violation
of the open meeting law, and
a discussion to clarify the role
of the Trailblazer board’s executive committee.
Also tabled were a request
from WCAT to increase its
number of seats on the Trailblazer board, a change in the
split of local share costs, and
an option to have non-elected
officials serve on the joint
powers board.
McLeod County Commissioner Doug Krueger indicated that while he was not
happy with postponing the issues, he did appreciate the
opportunity for a workshop.
“I’m not really happy with
the division on the board, particularly coming from
WCAT,” said Krueger. “I
don’t like being on this path
to division.”
Blaeser said the board
probably should not take up
the letter of reprimand because it is being challenged
by Ludwig. McLeod County
Commissioner Ron Shimanski, who chairs the Trailblazer
board, said he had received
an email from Ludwig challenging the letter.
Because the outcome of the
challenge is still pending,
Blaeser said the letter is not a
public document.
“We have not come to a
final resolution,” she said.
Other board members said
they were unaware that the
letter had been challenged.
“As an executive committee member, I wasn’t even
aware that a grievance had
been brought forward,” said
Sibley County Commissioner
Jim Swanson.
Blaeser reiterated the workshop will help define the
processes for dealing with
those issues.
“Again, we’re trying to determine policy and sort out
roles,” said Blaeser.
The board agreed to set the
workshop for Thursday, Oct.
20, from 9 a.m. to noon. It
will replace the board’s regular business meeting. The
next regular meeting will be
Thursday, Nov. 17, at 9 a.m.

State Senator Scott Newman earns
Guardian of Small Business Award
The state’s largest small
business group in terms of
entities, the National Federation of Independent Business
Minnesota, announced that
State Senator Newman, R Hutchinson, was awarded the
prestigious NFIB Guardian of
Small Business Award.
NFIB gives out the award
to recognize legislators who
have been supportive of small
business on critical issues. To
receive the award, legislators
had to demonstrate a voting
record that is supportive of
small business during the
2015-16 sessions of the Minnesota legislature.
Newman took many votes
that were important for small
business, including opposing
a controversial measure that
would have extended the
state sales tax to gas at the
wholesale level and significantly raised the price at the
pump. Newman also supported legislation that provided employers a significant
unemployment insurance tax
credit that will reduce taxes
by 27 to 29 percent and took
a vote for reforming the
healthcare component of
workers compensation that is
escalating out of control, on
top of many others.
“Senator Newman is a real
friend of small business and
we are happy to announce
that he has earned the NFIB
Guardian of Small Business
Award,” said Mike Hickey,
State Director.

Sibley East football team falls
to NRHEG 38-29 on the road
By Kurt Menk
Editor
The visiting Sibley East
varsity football team lost to
New Richland-Hartland-Ellendale-Geneva 38-29 on Friday night, Sept. 30.
“I told the team before the
game that the team who
blocks and tackles better, and
holds onto the ball usually
wins, and that’s as old as the
game of football, and that
proved true Friday,” said Sibley East head coach Chuck
Hartman. “It’s not that we
did those things bad all game,
but we had some spurts
where we didn't execute.”
The Wolverine offense
compiled 388 total yards in
the loss.
Junior running back Kevin
Durham had 20 attempts for
155 yards and two touchdowns. Senior running back
Brody Bates had 15 carries
for 63 yards and one score.
Junior running back Jesus
Rodriguez added six rushes
for 30 yards.
Junior quarterback Gavin
Bates, who injured his ankle
and was forced to leave the
game late in the fourth quarter, completed four of seven
passing attempts for 137
yards. He also suffered one
interception.
Senior Scott Holmquist
caught all four passes for 137
yards.
“On offense it was nice to
have Scott Holmquist back,”
said Hartman. “He's one of
the better receivers in the district. We ran the ball well.
We knew NRHEG’s defense
was not going to allow us to
run through them the way we
did the last couple weeks. But
251 yards on the ground is
not bad. Fumbles and penalties hurt drives and got us
into trouble and we have to
continue to work on that.”
Hartman said the Wolverine defense was in position to
make plays, but have to make
them.
Senior Brody Bates paced
the defense with 12 tackles
and two quarterback sacks
while junior Jaden Podratz
and senior Tanner Kurtweg
recorded 14 and 10 tackles
respectively. Senior Tim Otto
had nine tackles while senior
Tanner Pasvogel and junior
Lucas Chavez registered
eight tackles each. Junior
Holden Lindquist recorded
five tackles and one interception while senior Cody Voight
added six tackles and one
quarterback sack.
“Losing hurts, but maybe
after winning a couple in a
row we forgot what that sting
of defeat felt like,” said Hartman. “Hopefully this refocuses us heading into the rest of
the season.”
The Wolverines, 2-3 overall, will travel to WatervilleElysian-Morristown at 7 p.m.

Live to hunt another day
by wearing a life jacket or
float coat.
Hunters preparing to hit
the water this fall in pursuit
of ducks, geese and other
wild game are reminded to
include life jackets on their
hunting gear checklist.
“Hunters in Minnesota
are trained from a young
age to always put safety
first. For duck and goose
hunters, that means always
wearing a life jacket on the
water, no exceptions,” said
Lt. Col. Greg Salo waterfowl-safety of the Minnesota Department of Natural
Resources Enforcement Division.
Each year, more waterfowl hunters die from
drowning than from other
types of hunting accidents.
Swamping, capsizing and
falling overboard are all
common factors leading to
these deaths, but in nearly
all cases the hunter would
have survived had they
been wearing a life jacket.
“Before launching the
duck boat, make sure
everyone on board is wearing a life jacket or float
coat,” Salo said. “It’s the
one item that greatly increases your odds of surviving a water emergency and
living to hunt another day.”
The wide variety of comfortable, camouflage life
jackets designed specifically for waterfowl hunting includes inflatable vest and
belt-pack styles, insulated
flotation jackets, and foamfilled shooting vests with
quilted shoulders and shell
loops.
“Typical foam-filled
vests or float coats provide
optimal insulation against
cold air and the effects of
hypothermia, but without
question, the best life jacket
for waterfowl hunting is the
one you will actually wear,”
said Lisa Dugan, DNR
boating and water safety
outreach
coordinator.
“Choosing a life jacket
style that works for you,
and wearing it every time
you’re on the water, is not
only a good choice – it
could save your life.”
At the very least, all
boats must carry one U.S.
Coast Guard-approved life
jacket for each passenger,
and boats longer than 16
feet must also have a
throwable flotation device
immediately available.
Children under 10 must
wear a life jacket.
Other water safety tips
for duck hunters include:
• Don’t overload the
boat; take two trips if necessary.
• If wearing hip boots or
waders, learn how to float
with them on.
• Stay near shore and
avoid crossing large expanses of open water, especially in bad weather.
• Share your trip plans
with someone and advise
them to call for help if you
don’t return on schedule.
• Use a headlamp, spotlight or navigation lights to
alert other boaters of presence in dark and/or foggy
conditions.
• Carry a cell phone or
personal locator beacon in
case of emergency.
• Don’t drink and boat
and don’t drink and hunt.

Meeker-McLeod-Sibley
Community Health Services
(MMS CHS) is offering tips
on reducing or preventing
anxiety to get a flu shot instead of foregoing the vaccine altogether due to proven
ineffectiveness of the Flu
Mist.
“The announcement that
the Flu Mist was not effective in preventing the flu
should not deter anyone from
getting vaccinated to protect
against the flu virus.” said
Allie Freidrichs, Director for
MMS Community Health
Services. “For those who are
reluctant to get a flu shot because of what is called, “needle anxiety”, there are ways
to overcome that reluctance
and make getting a flu shot
as easy and painless as possible.”
Freidrichs offers these suggestions to reducing anxiety
associated with getting a flu
shot:
• Educate and explain why
a flu shot is important, and
how it protects from contracting an illness that could
become very serious
• Be honest about the fact
that a flu shot may cause
some brief pain, but acknowledge it’s a quick pinch
and before a person has the
time to say “ouch,” it will be
over
•Don’t minimize a person’s fears; be sympathetic
and help people manage their
fear
• Bring a diversion or
make a funny face or tell a
silly joke
• Practice deep breaths,
much like managing pain
during labor
• Consider a treat or reward after the appointment
• Discuss options to reduce
injection site pain with your
health care provider. These
may include topical anesthetics to temporarily numb the
skin
Vaccination is especially
important for children, adults
65 and older, pregnant
women and people with asthma, diabetes and other longterm conditions who are at
high risk from flu complications.
Most experts believe that
flu viruses are spread most
often by droplets made when
people with flu cough,
sneeze or talk. These
droplets can land in the
mouths or noses of people
who are nearby. Less often, a
person might also get flu by
touching a surface or object
that has flu virus on it and
then touching their own
mouth, eyes or possibly their
nose.
“Getting a flu shot is one
of the most effective ways
each of us can avoid getting
the flu and spreading the illness to others,” states Freidrichs. “With some planning
and advice from your local
health care provider, getting
the flu shot can be relatively
easy and pain and anxietyfree.”
Officials remind the public, in addition to getting the
seasonal flu vaccine, there
are other steps everyone can
take to prevent contracting
and spreading the flu. They
include:
• If you aren’t feeling well,
stay home
• If your children are ill,
keep them at home
• Clean and disinfect surfaces and objects that may be
contaminated with germs
like the flu.
• Avoid touching your
eyes, nose and mouth. Germs
spread this way
• Cover your cough
• Wash your hands with
warm water and soap, or use
an alcohol-based sanitizer
The seasonal flu is a contagious respiratory illness
caused by influenza (flu)
viruses. It can cause mild to
severe illness, and at times
can lead to death. The signs
and symptoms of the seasonal flu include fever, cough,
sore throat, runny or stuffy
nose, body aches, headache,
chills and fatigue.

about vaccinations contact

New Gazebo
A Gazebo Recognition Open House was held at the Good
Samaritan Society - Arlington on Wednesday night, Sept. 28.
The event recognized the organizations, businesses and families who made donations toward the construction of the new
20’ X 16’ gazebo which is similar to the size of the previous
30-year-old gazebo. The cost of the new gazebo was around
$14,000. The facility is now maintenance free with vinyl windows and new furniture that people can enjoy during three of
Minnesotans four seasons. Pie, cake and ice cream were
served during the event. Music was also provided.

Volunteers Planting Trees
A belated Arbor Day event and tree planting activity were
deemed a success in Arlington on Sunday afternoon, Oct. 2,
according to city officials. Arlington Mayor Rich Nagel read an
Arbor Day proclamation prior to the tree planting. Twentyeight resident volunteers, along with five volunteers from
Trust Tree and Conservation Corp, then jointly planted and watered over 50 trees in Frenzel Park and Four Seasons Park.
Mulch was also shoveled around each tree. The two groups
marked out the locations and pre-dug the holes. Each tree
took three to four volunteers to plant. Tree Trust provided instruction and ongoing guidance throughout the two-hour
event. Resident volunteers conducted additional prep work to
accommodate the bare root trees that were purchased and
maintained in a gravel bed over the past four months. This opportunity is due to a recent award of the DNR-LCCMR Community Forestry grant. The three-year grant will provide two additional planting events in the next two years. Residents are
encouraged to take a walk over to Four Seasons and Frenzel
Parks and visit the new trees. (Top Photo) This group of volunteers planted a tree in Frenzel Park. Left to right: Stephanie
Halverson, Maryn Pazdernik, Mya Kube and Jason Ruehling.
(Left Photo) Karen Zumach, Director of Community Forestry at
Tree Trust, explained the proper way to plant a tree.

FAST FACTS ABOUT FIRE
Home fires
• Half of home fire deaths result from fires reported between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. when most
people are asleep. Only one in five home fires were reported during these hours.
• One quarter of home fire deaths were caused by fires that started in the bedroom. Another
quarter resulted from fires in the living room, family room or den.
• Three out of five home fire deaths happen from fires in homes with no smoke alarms or no
working smoke alarms.
• In 2013, U.S. fire departments responded to an estimated 369,500 home structure fires. These
fires caused 2,755 deaths, 12,200 civilian injuries, and $7.0 billion in direct damage
• Home fires killed an average of eight people every day in 2013.
• Cooking equipment is the leading cause of home fire injuries, followed by heating equipment.
• Smoking materials are the leading cause of home fire deaths.
• Most fatal fires kill only one or two people. In 2013, 12 home fires killed five or more people
resulting in a total of 67 deaths.
• During 2007-2011, roughly one of every 320 households had a reported home fire per year.
Smoke Alarms
• Three out of five home fire deaths in 2007-2011 were caused by fires in homes with no smoke
alarms or no working smoke alarms.
• Working smoke alarms cut the risk of dying in reported home fires in half.
• In fires considered large enough to activate the smoke alarm, hardwired alarms operated 93%
of the time, while battery powered alarms operated only 79% of the time.
• When smoke alarms fail to operate, it is usually because batteries are missing, disconnected,
or dead.
• An ionization smoke alarm is generally more responsive to flaming fires and a photoelectric
smoke alarm is generally more responsive to smoldering fires. For the best protection, or
where extra time is needed, to awaken or assist others, both types of alarms, or combination
ionization and photoelectric alarms are recommended.
Escape Planning
• According to an NFPA survey, only one-third of Americans have both developed and practiced
a home fire escape plan.
• Almost three-quarters of Americans do have an escape plan; however, more than half never
practiced it.
• One-third (32%) of survey respondents who made an estimate thought they would have at
least 6 minutes before a fire in their home would become life threatening. The time available
is often less. Only 8% said their first thought on hearing a smoke alarm would be to get out!
THANK YOU AREA FIREFIGHTERS!
• U.S. Fire Departments responded to an estimated annual average of 156,600 cooking-related
fires between 2007-2011, resulting in 400 civilian deaths, 5,080 civilian injuries and $853 million in direct damage.
• Two of every five home fires started in the kitchen.
• Unattended cooking was a factor in one-third of reported home cooking fires.
• Two-thirds of home cooking fires started with ignition of food or other cooking materials.
• Ranges accounted for almost three of every five (57%) of home cooking fire incidents. Ovens
accounted for 16%.
• Children under five face a higher risk of non-fire burns associated with cooking and hot food
and drinks than of being hurt in a cooking fire.
• Microwave ovens are one of the leading home products associated with scald burns. According to the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System, two out of five of the microwave
oven injuries seen at emergency rooms in 2012 were scald burns.
• Clothing was the item first ignited in less than 1% of home cooking fires, but these incidents
accounted for 15% of the cooking fire deaths.
• Fifty-five percent of people injured in home fires involving cooking equipment were hurt while
attempting to fight the fire themselves.
• Failure to clean was a factor contributing to ignition in 17% of reported home fires involving
ovens or rotisseries.
Smoking Materials
• Smoking materials started an average of 17,900 smoking-material home structure fires per
year during 2007-2011. These fires caused an average of 580 deaths, 1,280 injuries and
$509 million in direct property damage per year.
• Most deaths in home smoking-material fires were caused by fires that started in bedrooms
(40%) or living rooms, family rooms or dens (35%).
• Sleep was a factor in roughly one-third of the home smoking material fire deaths.
• Possible alcohol impairment was a factor in one in five (19%) of home smoking fire deaths.
• One out of four fatal victims of smoking-material fires is not the smoker whose cigarettes
started the fire.
Electrical
• About half (48%) of home electrical fires involved electrical distribution or lighting equipment.
Other leading types of equipment were washer or dryer, fan, portable or stationary space
heater, air conditioning equipment water heater and range.
• Electrical failure or malfunctions caused an average of 47,800 home fires per year in 20072011, resulting in an average of 450 deaths and $1.5 billion in direct property damage.
Heating
• The leading factor contributing to heating equipment fires was failure to clean. This usually
involved creosote build-up in chimneys.
• Portable or fixed space heaters, including wood stoves, were involved in one-third (33%) of
home heating fires and four out of five (81%) home heating deaths.
• Just over half of home heating fire deaths resulted from fires caused by heating equipment
too close to things that can burn, such as upholstered furniture, clothing, mattresses or bedding.
• In most years, heating equipment is the second leading cause of home fires, fire deaths, and
fire injuries.
Cooking
Candles
• During 2007-2011 candles caused 3% of home fires, 4% of home fire deaths, 7% of home
fire injuries, and 6% of direct property damage from home fires.
• On average, there are 29 home candle fires reported per day.
• More than one-third of these fires (36%) started in the bedroom; however, the candle industry

The Arlington City Council, during its regular meeting
on Monday night, Oct. 3,
unanimously adopted a resolution to order Bolton &
Menk, Inc., Mankato, to prepare an engineering report on
the 2017 Street and Utility
Improvement Project.
City Council members
Michelle Battcher, Jim Heiland, James Jaszewski, Jennifer Nuesse and Galen Wills
all voted in favor of the motion.
The street and utility improvements will include
Fourth Avenue Northwest
from West Chandler Street to
West Alden Street; West
Brooks Street from Highway
5 to Third Avenue Northwest;
West Alden Street from Highway 5 to Third Avenue
Northwest; and Third Avenue
Northwest from West Alden
Street to West Brooks Street.
City Engineer Jason Femrite, a representative from
Bolton & Menk, will present
the report to the City Council
during its regular meeting on
Monday night, Nov. 7.
In addition, Femrite will
carefully review and study
the Baker Street Outfall in
order to determine the best
way to address the ponding
storm water at the intersections of 2nd and East Clinton
Street and 3rd and East Clinton Street. He will report
back to the City Council on
his progress.
The City Council, along
with Femrite, did not believe
he had enough time to put together a quality project for
this area in time for a 2017
project. The hope is that there
are some solutions to get the
water to flow out of that area.
Closed Meeting
The City Council, at the
conclusion of the regular
meeting, held a closed meeting for the purpose of considering the sale of the former
Technical Services for Electronics administrative building located along Highway 5.
The City Council, about
five months ago, voted 3-1
and approved a motion to
reaffirm its decision from one
year earlier and accept the
donation of the administrative building from Technical
Services for Electronics, Inc.,
at no cost.
AMETEK, the conglomerate that owns TSE, had a detailed appraisal done on the
building which shows a
$265,000 market value, according to City Attorney
Ross Arneson.
TSE, he said, has paid the
first half property taxes. The
second half property taxes
will be $1,042.
Other Business
The City Council unanimously approved separate
motions to approve the annual routine maintenance agreements with Sibley County for
County State Aid Highways
17 and 34.
The City Council unanimously approved the temporary road closure and use of
city resources for the Sibley
East Homecoming Parade on
Friday, Oct. 14.
The Arlington City Council
will hold its next regular
meeting at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 17, according to
City Administrator Liza Donabauer.
Council to buy 14.64
acres of land from the
Seneca Foods Corp.
By Kurt Menk
Editor
The Arlington City Council, during its regular meeting
on Monday night, Oct. 3,
unanimously adopted a resolution to authorize the City of
Arlington to enter into a purchase agreement with the
Seneca Foods Corporation
for 14.64 acres of land for
$200,000.
City Council members
Michelle Battcher, Jim Heiland, James Jaszewski, Jennifer Nuesse and Galen Wills
all voted in favor of the resolution.
The City Council adopted a
similar resolution about
three-plus months ago. After
months of negotiations, however, the most recent resolution is the formal one.
The City of Arlington owns
22.18 acres designated for an
industrial park which abuts
Highway 5 and the Prairie
Line railroad and has exhausted all options in order to
gain access to the land locked
parcel.
The City of Arlington entered into negotiations with
Seneca Foods to gain access
to the city industrial park
through the Seneca Foods
property.
The purchase agreement is
contingent upon the city’s receipt and award of state funding for infrastructure im-
provements by April 30,
2017. The closing will be
June 30, 2017.
The Greater Minnesota
Business Development Public
Infrastructure (BDPI) Grant
Program (state funding)
would cover no more than 50
percent of the infrastructure
costs for the construction of
an industrial park. The preliminary engineering estimate
for a complete project is $2.4
million which includes access, land, surveying, engineering, legal costs, road and
utilities.
Tax Abatement
The City Council unanimously adopted a resolution
to set a date for a public hearing on the approval of a tax
abatement resolution for the
purpose of funding development costs for the Cemstone
Products Company Project.
The City Council will hold
the public hearing at 6:30
p.m. Monday, Oct. 17.
The request is for a tax
abatement of $5,025 per year
for up to 15 years.
Cemstone, according to
city documents, has purchased 6.46 acres of land east
of Scott Equipment. Cemstone plans to construct an
approximate 3,360 square
foot facility on this property
and retain five jobs from its
current downtown location.

County Commissioners tour courthouse
By Amy Newsom
Correspondent
The Sibley County Commissioners recently toured the
courthouse with Travis and
Earl Fuechtmann of the Contegrity Group to view the
areas of the courthouse that
need repair.
Travis Fuechtmann stated
that “structurally the building
is in great shape.” The bulk
of the cost of the repairs will
be mechanical repairs. The
largest problems are the old
coal chute located between
the original building and the
annex, and the old boiler system. The coal chute is a safety hazard, and there is no
backup for the boiler system.
If the boiler goes down in
winter, there would be no
heat in the courthouse. Other
problems included water
leakage, damaged tuckpointing, window replacements,
and some minor cosmetic repairs.
Travis Fuechtmann stated
that the price of this project
may trigger ADA compliance. Sibley County hopes to
apply for a grant from the
Minnesota Historical Society
to cover some of the estimated $5.9 million cost.
The courthouse is listed on
the National Register of Historic Places and the work
would have to be approved
by the Minnesota State Historic Preservation Office
(SHPO).

Commissioner Bobbie Harder responds
to letter at recent county board meeting
ter’s new Siemens CT scanner.
Ridgeview Sibley Medical Center
upgrades CT scanner in Arlington
The Ridgeview Sibley
Medical Center recently upgraded its computed tomography (CT) scanner to a new
Siemens Somatom Definition
AS 64-slice scanner. The new
scanner provides advanced
three-dimensional images of
body organs and major blood
vessels and is most commonly used in scans of the spine,
brain, abdomen, pelvis and
heart.
This upgrade allows
Ridgeview Sibley to provide
patients with higher quality
and faster scans with a reduction in the radiation dose; and
most significantly, improving
scans for cardiac diagnoses.
“We are pleased to introduce enhanced imaging services at the Arlington campus,” said Cindy Steenstra,
director, Ridgeview Imaging
Services. “As an organization, it is our goal to provide
important specialty services
locally so patients don’t have
to travel long distances to get
the care they need. This technology is an example of that
commitment.”
About Ridgeview Sibley
Medical Center
Located in Arlington,
Ridgeview Sibley Medical
Center is a critical access
hospital—providing urgent
care, general surgery, and
24/7 hospital and emergency
services to residents of Sibley
County and the surrounding
area. It is part of the
Ridgeview Medical Center
network, which also includes
a hospital in Waconia, a multitude of primary and specialty care clinics, emergency
services and specialty programs, and Two Twelve Medical Center in Chaska. For
more information about
Ridgeview Sibley Medical
Center, visit www.sibleymedical.org.
Commissioner Bobbie Harder takes
a stand against frivolous spending
be reimbursed.
She was also frustrated
with departments using the
money in their budgets just
because they have money
left. She questioned why departments purchased things
they did not need just to use
up the money in their budgets. Harder also questioned
how two county employees
can go to the same conference and one submits a bill
for $450 while the other a bill
for $1,000.
She furthermore voiced
concern over the misuse of
equipment. Equipment is
abused and then it has to be
fixed. She said there was a
county vehicle that was one
year old and they had to replace rotors and brake pads.
She wondered if it was abuse
or the person’s driving habits.
She also questioned why the
county paid $80,000 in
mileage reimbursements
when County employees are
supposed to be using fleet
cars.
Harder said that staff need
to be held accountable.
“We have a budget for a
reason,” said Harder. “We
need to spend money on this
building.” Harder said she
would start voting against
claims and levies to take a
stand against frivolous spending.
Commissioner Bill Pinske
asked if she would take a
stand against all claims or
just ones that she disagreed
with. He said we “have to
pay our bills.”
Harder replied that she was
not going to be a part of
spending too much money.
RS Fiber will soon host community
events in New Auburn and Green Isle
The Renville-Sibley (RS)
Fiber Cooperative will be
hosting a pair of community
events in the communities of
New Auburn and Green Isle
to give residents the opportunity to learn more about RS
Fiber services.
The event in New Auburn
will be held at the Fire Hall
from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
Tuesday, Oct. 11. Local residents are invited to stop in for
a free catered dinner and to
learn more about RS Fiber.
The Green Isle event will
be held at the Green Isle
Community School from 5:30
p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Wednesday,
Oct. 12. A free dinner will be
catered by the Green Isle
Lions Club.
RS Fiber General Manager
Toby Brummer said RS Fiber
team members will be in attendance to answer any questions and assist individuals
with signing up for internet,
video and phone.
“We are looking forward to
let her know that she would
be writing some letters to the
media, but made it clear that
she has great respect for
Harder.
Commissioner Harder stated that she was angry with
the way Karau categorized
commissioners in her letter.
She did not like Karau’s comment that it is the Board of
Commissioners who were responsible for the state of the
courthouse. Harder also said
that she was angry with
Karau’s statement that commissioners were not fully informed and prepared to make
decisions. Harder stated that
she spends approximately 30
hours preparing for each
board meeting.
County Commissioner Jim
Swanson also addressed the
letter stating that he took offense to the insinuation that if
you are retired you don’t belong here. He also stated he
felt that the County Board
worked well together saying
that “we do good legislation
together.”

The Sibley County Board,
during its regular meeting on
Tuesday morning, Sept. 27,
voted 4-1 to approve the
county claims.
County Commissioner
Bobbie Harder said that she
would vote no to the claims
and any levy increases as a
stand against the frivolous
spending at the county. She
spends two to three hours
going over claims and has
been increasingly frustrated
by how money is being spent.
She wants Sibley County employees to use county money
as if “the Sibley County
checkbook is in their name.”
She feels there are too many
county credit cards and asks
if county employees would
spend as much if they had to
or past board members. She
stated if Sibley County Commissioners must be held responsible, fine.
“If I am a failure, fine.”
said Harder. She does not
want to look at the past, but
said she was glad that County
Administrator Roxy Traxler
is now addressing the repairs
to the courthouse. Harder
said she was adamant that the
courthouse be preserved and
not torn down.
Harder felt that the letter
lacked substance, accountability, and said it was “everything I would be against.”
She felt that while the County
Board members all came
from different backgrounds,
all the board members were
team players. She said that
Sibley County is “my heaven
on earth” and she was disappointed with the letter, but
not going to call the person
out.
Diana Karau then came before the County Board stating
that she was the writer of the
letter. Karau stated that she
had spoken to Harder and had

At the Sibley County
Board regular meeting on
Tuesday morning, Sept. 27,
County Commissioner Bobbie Harder addressed a letter
to the editor that appeared in
the Sept. 22 edition of the Arlington Enterprise.
Harder said she agreed
with one thing in the letter,
“Enough is enough.” She
stated that being a county
commissioner is a part-time
position. Some weeks she
works 20 hours and some
weeks “it feels like 100.” She
wanted to address the letter
because she felt that it was
important to shed the best
light on the County. She stated that Sibley County is a
wonderful place to live.
Harder stated that the
blame game was played in
the letter; trying to lay the
blame on someone or some
group of people for neglecting the courthouse. Harder
said nothing was brought up
by the prior administrator, department heads, maintenance,

Arlington and Green Isle
fire departments to recognize
Fire Prevention Week
Our View: It’s an excellent time to educate people,
especially young children, on fire safety
The Arlington and Green Isle fire departments will recognize Fire
Prevention Week from Sunday, Oct. 9 through Saturday, Oct. 15. It is
an excellent time for firefighters from both departments to educate the
general public, especially young children, on fire safety.
Since 1922, Fire Prevention Week has been observed on the Sunday
through Saturday period in which Oct.9 sits. It was established to
commemorate the Great Chicago Fire in 1871.
The Arlington Fire Department, in past years, conducted student
tours at the local fire hall. Local firefighters now visit students at the
Sibley East Elementary School and St. Paul’s Lutheran School. The
Green Isle Fire Department will again conduct student tours at its fire
hall.
The visits and tours primarily educate children on having smoke
alarms in every bedroom, outside each sleeping area and on every
level of the home. The children are also taught to have a fire escape
plan at home just like they do at school.
According to the National Fire Prevention Association (NFPA), half
of home fire deaths happen between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. when people
are sleeping. One quarter of these home fire deaths are caused by fires
that started in bedrooms and three out of five home fire deaths happen
in homes with no working smoke alarms. Smoke alarms should be
tested once a month and should be replaced every 10 years.
Children are also taught to know the location of fire extinguishers
in their homes and how to call 9-1-1.
In addition to these visits and tours, both fire departments will hold
other events during Fire Prevention Week. The Green Isle Fire Department will hold its 17th annul Fall Get Together at the Green Isle
Fire Hall from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 9. The Arlington Fire
Department will hold its annual Bring Home Fire Safety event from
5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 12. The Arlington Fire Department will also hold its first ever Fall Block Party on Saturday night,
Oct. 15.

Letter To The Editor
Address issues, not personalities
To The Editor,
It was with great excitement that I
listened to Commissioner Bobbie
Harder at the beginning of the board
meeting of Sept. 27 as she took a
stand against what she called the
lack of fiscal responsibility and
“frivolous spending” of Sibley
County taxpayer dollars. Commissioner Harder is taking a moral
stand, and choosing to vote no on
approval of claims and the upcoming tax levy and stated, “I’ve had
enough.” I publicly applaud Commissioner Harder’s position on this
issue and note that she is the only
member of the board that is attempting to closely examine the use of
taxpayer dollars, an issue I have
been addressing since the beginning
of my campaign.
However, imagine my surprise at
the end of the meeting when Commissioner Harder chose to launch a
tirade of criticims against a letter to
the editor. It was especially disappointing, given my conversation
with Commissioner Harder the week
before, when I made it clear that my
campaign remarks are not directed
at her. My letters to the editor raised
issues that require accountability for
the action and/or inaction each commissioner makes during their term in
office, nothing more, nothing less.
Commissioner Harder chose to
make her personal attack against me
sitting in that board meeting as the
Sibley County Board chair where
she represents all of the citizens of
Sibley County, including me.
Yes, every single member of the
board has a right to their personal
opinions and there are means of stating those opinions in a manner that
does not use the authority of the
board as a whipping stick against a
citizen. I hope this incident was the
exception and not the rule and that
no other citizen of Sibley County
will have to be the subject of a personal attack by a commissioner at an
official board meeting, ever again.
Like Commissioner Harder, I too
love Sibley County and that is why I
am standing up, speaking out, and
running for elected office. I have
chosen to address issues, not personalities in my campaign. That is as it
should be and what I will continue
to do until election day.

Guest Column
Ensuring competition benefits farmers, consumers
By Amy Klobuchar
U.S. Senator
In Minnesota, we are proud of
our farmers and farming communities. While most people know us as
the land of ten thousand lakes, we
have nearly seventy-five thousand
farms and are fifth in the nation in
agricultural production. We also are
home to many agricultural companies, both small and large. That’s
why having a food supply that’s
strong – one where farmers can afford to do business and consumers
can afford to buy farm products – is
really important to our state.
The recent mergers and acquisitions in the seed industry - including
Dow Chemical’s and DuPont’s proposed merger, ChemChina’s proposed acquisition of Syngenta, and
Bayer’s proposed acquisition of
Monsanto - could have great consequences for Minnesota. These three
transactions are substantial, and they
could reduce the six major agribusiness companies to four.
I serve as the Ranking Member of
the Antitrust Subcommittee, and I
take seriously my responsibility to
provide oversight on potential consolidations and to ensure that antitrust laws are vigorously enforced
to protect competition. In the past
year we’ve examined many issues,
Staff

Kurt Menk, Editor; Barb Mathwig, Office; Ashley Reetz, Sales;
and Jean Olson, Proof Reading.
including competition in the thriving
craft brewery business and the rising
costs for health care and prescription
drugs. And recently, along with
Chairman Chuck Grassley, I led a
hearing in the Senate Judiciary
Committee to examine the impact of
these potential seed industry consolidations on farmers and consumers.
First, we want to make sure that
there is robust competition to develop new and better products for farmers and consumers. We want to encourage innovation, and one of the
best ways to do this is through companies competing with each other.
With less competition, farmers face
companies focusing on limited areas
of research and not competing with
each other for the next technological
breakthrough. This is especially important during our current times of
water shortages and other challenges, when we need more research, not less.
Another concern is that these consolidations will encourage the
merged companies to integrate vertically, meaning that each company
will assume control over its entire
production process, from research to
production to transportation. This
would diminish incentives for these
larger companies to compete for
customers. It would also make it
harder for smaller research companies to enter the market in the first
place and to grow and expand.
Let’s be clear, we ask a lot of rural
America. Farmers make large investments in their crops and their
livestock, buildings and equipment,
and can face heavy losses due to
natural and market circumstances
beyond their control. Our state has
had its share of storms, drought and
flooding in recent years – hundreds
of millions of dollars in total losses.
At the same time, our consumers expect to have farm goods and products at a fair price.
Our farmers and consumers face
enough of these challenges without
adding the additional burden of an
anti-competitive market. Consumers
shouldn’t be faced with unnecessary,
higher costs because of lack of competition. Farmers don’t need costs
for seeds going up more, either.
They also have a right to be able to
support their family and not be the
ones to bear the brunt of major consolidations.
It is our responsibility to consumers and to the farmers who produce our food to level the playing
field. That’s why I’m going to keep
pushing for competition in the seed
and agriculture industry.

A special school meeting was
held in district #69 Saturday
evening for the purpose of voting bonds for a new high school
building and for the reconsidering of the vote cast in the special meeting held on June 5th.
At the meeting in June bonds
were voted to the amount of
$4,000.00 but after investigating, it was found that this
amount was not large enough to
erect a building to accommodate
the high school, as was first
thought it would. The new bond
amount of $10,000 was voted on
and carried.
The new church bell for St.
Mary’s Catholic church arrived
Tuesday and will be replaced for
the old one which sprung a
crack some time last spring.
The new store building of
Mueller Bros. is nearing completion and they have begun

Miss Esther Bliss, America’s
only surviving daughter of the
War of 1812, celebrated her
101st birthday on September
24th at her home near Belle
Plaine. Miss Bliss goes into her
second century of life with her
facilties unimpaired. Her hearing is poor but her eyesight remains good and she can readily
converse on any subject. Miss
Bliss is both a daughter of the
War of 1812 and a granddaughter of the Revolution. Miss Bliss
was born in Springfield, Mass.,
Sept. 24, 1850, and was six
years old when her parents
brought her here in 1856 and the
home she has occupied all these
years is a part of the original
Bliss homestead.
We are pleased to record the
fact that our good friend Andrew Beseke, one of the oldest
of our native born citizens, observed his 88th birthday last
week Wednesday. One bit of
Andrew’s history always lingers
in our mind: When he was 18
years of age (about 70 years
ago) he got himself a job as a
“spike boy” with the construction gang which built the M. &
St. L. track through Arlington.
That was in 1881. It was Andrew’s job to carry the big
spikes used to tack down the
rails. He handled all the spikes
for the track between Arlington
and Winthrop, when he quit his
job as he was getting too far
away from home.
At a meeting of the City
Council on Monday evening,
Fred Matz was appointed to fill
the unexpired term of Alderman
Howard Wolff, who resigned
because of the fact that he will
soon leave Arlington for service
in the U.S. Navy. Mr. Matz will
serve until Jan. 1, 1953.

The Trailblazer Transit
Joint Powers Board will
spend about three hours in a
workshop session Oct. 20
with attorney Frank Madden
of Madden Galanter Hansen
LLP. The law firm specializes
in labor issues.
With that in mind, the Joint
Powers Board recently tabled
most of the items on its meeting agenda until its regular
meeting in November, hoping
that the workshop will set parameters for taking them up
again.
Sandi Blaeser, an attorney
with Madden Galanter
Hansen, said the workshop is
needed to re-establish unity
among the board and relationships with employees.
“The board workshop is
critically essential,” said
Blaeser. “We need to discuss
matters like how roles and responsibilities are indicated.
We need to have that clarified
before we take on the issues
that were brought up. Our
goal is to make this a more
effective board. I think it’s
very appropriate to have this
workshop.”
Among the issues that were
deferred to after the work-
shop were a letter of reprimand for Trailblazer Executive Director Gary Ludwig, a
letter of concern from Trailblazer’s two operations managers and human resources
director regarding two board
members’ roles in a recent
employee matter, a letter
from a Wright County Area
Transportation (WCAT) attorney regarding possible improper action by the board in
regard to the letter of reprimand and a possible violation
of the open meeting law, and
a discussion to clarify the role
of the Trailblazer board’s executive committee.
Also tabled were a request
from WCAT to increase its
number of seats on the Trailblazer board, a change in the
split of local share costs, and
an option to have non-elected
officials serve on the joint
powers board.
McLeod County Commissioner Doug Krueger indicated that while he was not
happy with postponing the issues, he did appreciate the
opportunity for a workshop.
“I’m not really happy with
the division on the board, particularly coming from
WCAT,” said Krueger. “I
don’t like being on this path
to division.”
Blaeser said the board
probably should not take up
the letter of reprimand because it is being challenged
by Ludwig. McLeod County
Commissioner Ron Shimanski, who chairs the Trailblazer
board, said he had received
an email from Ludwig challenging the letter.
Because the outcome of the
challenge is still pending,
Blaeser said the letter is not a
public document.
“We have not come to a
final resolution,” she said.
Other board members said
they were unaware that the
letter had been challenged.
“As an executive committee member, I wasn’t even
aware that a grievance had
been brought forward,” said
Sibley County Commissioner
Jim Swanson.
Blaeser reiterated the workshop will help define the
processes for dealing with
those issues.
“Again, we’re trying to determine policy and sort out
roles,” said Blaeser.
The board agreed to set the
workshop for Thursday, Oct.
20, from 9 a.m. to noon. It
will replace the board’s regular business meeting. The
next regular meeting will be
Thursday, Nov. 17, at 9 a.m.
Green Isle Lions Club will again sponsor

State Senator Scott Newman earns
Guardian of Small Business Award
The state’s largest small
business group in terms of
entities, the National Federation of Independent Business
Minnesota, announced that
State Senator Newman, R Hutchinson, was awarded the
prestigious NFIB Guardian of
Small Business Award.
NFIB gives out the award
to recognize legislators who
have been supportive of small
business on critical issues. To
receive the award, legislators
had to demonstrate a voting
record that is supportive of
small business during the
2015-16 sessions of the Minnesota legislature.
Newman took many votes
that were important for small
business, including opposing
a controversial measure that
would have extended the
state sales tax to gas at the
wholesale level and significantly raised the price at the
pump. Newman also supported legislation that provided employers a significant
unemployment insurance tax
credit that will reduce taxes
by 27 to 29 percent and took
a vote for reforming the
healthcare component of
workers compensation that is
escalating out of control, on
top of many others.
“Senator Newman is a real
friend of small business and
we are happy to announce
that he has earned the NFIB
Guardian of Small Business
Award,” said Mike Hickey,
State Director.

Sibley East football team falls
to NRHEG 38-29 on the road
By Kurt Menk
Editor
The visiting Sibley East
varsity football team lost to
New Richland-Hartland-Ellendale-Geneva 38-29 on Friday night, Sept. 30.
“I told the team before the
game that the team who
blocks and tackles better, and
holds onto the ball usually
wins, and that’s as old as the
game of football, and that
proved true Friday,” said Sibley East head coach Chuck
Hartman. “It’s not that we
did those things bad all game,
but we had some spurts
where we didn't execute.”
The Wolverine offense
compiled 388 total yards in
the loss.
Junior running back Kevin
Durham had 20 attempts for
155 yards and two touchdowns. Senior running back
Brody Bates had 15 carries
for 63 yards and one score.
Junior running back Jesus
Rodriguez added six rushes
for 30 yards.
Junior quarterback Gavin
Bates, who injured his ankle
and was forced to leave the
game late in the fourth quarter, completed four of seven
passing attempts for 137
yards. He also suffered one
interception.
Senior Scott Holmquist
caught all four passes for 137
yards.
“On offense it was nice to
have Scott Holmquist back,”
said Hartman. “He's one of
the better receivers in the district. We ran the ball well.
We knew NRHEG’s defense
was not going to allow us to
run through them the way we
did the last couple weeks. But
251 yards on the ground is
not bad. Fumbles and penalties hurt drives and got us
into trouble and we have to
continue to work on that.”
Hartman said the Wolverine defense was in position to
make plays, but have to make
them.
Senior Brody Bates paced
the defense with 12 tackles
and two quarterback sacks
while junior Jaden Podratz
and senior Tanner Kurtweg
recorded 14 and 10 tackles
respectively. Senior Tim Otto
had nine tackles while senior
Tanner Pasvogel and junior
Lucas Chavez registered
eight tackles each. Junior
Holden Lindquist recorded
five tackles and one interception while senior Cody Voight
added six tackles and one
quarterback sack.
“Losing hurts, but maybe
after winning a couple in a
row we forgot what that sting
of defeat felt like,” said Hartman. “Hopefully this refocuses us heading into the rest of
the season.”
The Wolverines, 2-3 overall, will travel to WatervilleElysian-Morristown at 7 p.m.

Live to hunt another day
by wearing a life jacket or
float coat.
Hunters preparing to hit
the water this fall in pursuit
of ducks, geese and other
wild game are reminded to
include life jackets on their
hunting gear checklist.
“Hunters in Minnesota
are trained from a young
age to always put safety
first. For duck and goose
hunters, that means always
wearing a life jacket on the
water, no exceptions,” said
Lt. Col. Greg Salo waterfowl-safety of the Minnesota Department of Natural
Resources Enforcement Division.
Each year, more waterfowl hunters die from
drowning than from other
types of hunting accidents.
Swamping, capsizing and
falling overboard are all
common factors leading to
these deaths, but in nearly
all cases the hunter would
have survived had they
been wearing a life jacket.
“Before launching the
duck boat, make sure
everyone on board is wearing a life jacket or float
coat,” Salo said. “It’s the
one item that greatly increases your odds of surviving a water emergency and
living to hunt another day.”
The wide variety of comfortable, camouflage life
jackets designed specifically for waterfowl hunting includes inflatable vest and
belt-pack styles, insulated
flotation jackets, and foamfilled shooting vests with
quilted shoulders and shell
loops.
“Typical foam-filled
vests or float coats provide
optimal insulation against
cold air and the effects of
hypothermia, but without
question, the best life jacket
for waterfowl hunting is the
one you will actually wear,”
said Lisa Dugan, DNR
boating and water safety
outreach
coordinator.
“Choosing a life jacket
style that works for you,
and wearing it every time
you’re on the water, is not
only a good choice – it
could save your life.”
At the very least, all
boats must carry one U.S.
Coast Guard-approved life
jacket for each passenger,
and boats longer than 16
feet must also have a
throwable flotation device
immediately available.
Children under 10 must
wear a life jacket.
Other water safety tips
for duck hunters include:
• Don’t overload the
boat; take two trips if necessary.
• If wearing hip boots or
waders, learn how to float
with them on.
• Stay near shore and
avoid crossing large expanses of open water, especially in bad weather.
• Share your trip plans
with someone and advise
them to call for help if you
don’t return on schedule.
• Use a headlamp, spotlight or navigation lights to
alert other boaters of presence in dark and/or foggy
conditions.
• Carry a cell phone or
personal locator beacon in
case of emergency.
• Don’t drink and boat
and don’t drink and hunt.

DNR’s “Water Safety for
Duck Hunters” brochure

boating safety for hunters.

Meeker-McLeod-Sibley
Community Health Services
(MMS CHS) is offering tips
on reducing or preventing
anxiety to get a flu shot instead of foregoing the vaccine altogether due to proven
ineffectiveness of the Flu
Mist.
“The announcement that
the Flu Mist was not effective in preventing the flu
should not deter anyone from
getting vaccinated to protect
against the flu virus.” said
Allie Freidrichs, Director for
MMS Community Health
Services. “For those who are
reluctant to get a flu shot because of what is called, “needle anxiety”, there are ways
to overcome that reluctance
and make getting a flu shot
as easy and painless as possible.”
Freidrichs offers these suggestions to reducing anxiety
associated with getting a flu
shot:
• Educate and explain why
a flu shot is important, and
how it protects from contracting an illness that could
become very serious
• Be honest about the fact
that a flu shot may cause
some brief pain, but acknowledge it’s a quick pinch
and before a person has the
time to say “ouch,” it will be
over
•Don’t minimize a person’s fears; be sympathetic
and help people manage their
fear
• Bring a diversion or
make a funny face or tell a
silly joke
• Practice deep breaths,
much like managing pain
during labor
• Consider a treat or reward after the appointment
• Discuss options to reduce
injection site pain with your
health care provider. These
may include topical anesthetics to temporarily numb the
skin
Vaccination is especially
important for children, adults
65 and older, pregnant
women and people with asthma, diabetes and other longterm conditions who are at
high risk from flu complications.
Most experts believe that
flu viruses are spread most
often by droplets made when
people with flu cough,
sneeze or talk. These
droplets can land in the
mouths or noses of people
who are nearby. Less often, a
person might also get flu by
touching a surface or object
that has flu virus on it and
then touching their own
mouth, eyes or possibly their
nose.
“Getting a flu shot is one
of the most effective ways
each of us can avoid getting
the flu and spreading the illness to others,” states Freidrichs. “With some planning
and advice from your local
health care provider, getting
the flu shot can be relatively
easy and pain and anxietyfree.”
Officials remind the public, in addition to getting the
seasonal flu vaccine, there
are other steps everyone can
take to prevent contracting
and spreading the flu. They
include:
• If you aren’t feeling well,
stay home
• If your children are ill,
keep them at home
• Clean and disinfect surfaces and objects that may be
contaminated with germs
like the flu.
• Avoid touching your
eyes, nose and mouth. Germs
spread this way
• Cover your cough
• Wash your hands with
warm water and soap, or use
an alcohol-based sanitizer
The seasonal flu is a contagious respiratory illness
caused by influenza (flu)
viruses. It can cause mild to
severe illness, and at times
can lead to death. The signs
and symptoms of the seasonal flu include fever, cough,
sore throat, runny or stuffy
nose, body aches, headache,
chills and fatigue.

Samaritan Society - Arlington on Wednesday night, Sept. 28.
The event recognized the organizations, businesses and families who made donations toward the construction of the new
20’ X 16’ gazebo which is similar to the size of the previous
30-year-old gazebo. The cost of the new gazebo was around
$14,000. The facility is now maintenance free with vinyl windows and new furniture that people can enjoy during three of
Minnesotans four seasons. Pie, cake and ice cream were

Volunteers Planting Trees
A belated Arbor Day event and tree planting activity were
deemed a success in Arlington on Sunday afternoon, Oct. 2,
according to city officials. Arlington Mayor Rich Nagel read an
Arbor Day proclamation prior to the tree planting. Twentyeight resident volunteers, along with five volunteers from
Trust Tree and Conservation Corp, then jointly planted and watered over 50 trees in Frenzel Park and Four Seasons Park.
Mulch was also shoveled around each tree. The two groups
marked out the locations and pre-dug the holes. Each tree
took three to four volunteers to plant. Tree Trust provided instruction and ongoing guidance throughout the two-hour
event. Resident volunteers conducted additional prep work to
accommodate the bare root trees that were purchased and
maintained in a gravel bed over the past four months. This opportunity is due to a recent award of the DNR-LCCMR Community Forestry grant. The three-year grant will provide two additional planting events in the next two years. Residents are
encouraged to take a walk over to Four Seasons and Frenzel
Parks and visit the new trees. (Top Photo) This group of volunteers planted a tree in Frenzel Park. Left to right: Stephanie
Halverson, Maryn Pazdernik, Mya Kube and Jason Ruehling.
(Left Photo) Karen Zumach, Director of Community Forestry at
Tree Trust, explained the proper way to plant a tree.

FAST FACTS ABOUT FIRE
Home fires
• Half of home fire deaths result from fires reported between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. when most
people are asleep. Only one in five home fires were reported during these hours.
• One quarter of home fire deaths were caused by fires that started in the bedroom. Another
quarter resulted from fires in the living room, family room or den.
• Three out of five home fire deaths happen from fires in homes with no smoke alarms or no
working smoke alarms.
• In 2013, U.S. fire departments responded to an estimated 369,500 home structure fires. These
fires caused 2,755 deaths, 12,200 civilian injuries, and $7.0 billion in direct damage
• Home fires killed an average of eight people every day in 2013.
• Cooking equipment is the leading cause of home fire injuries, followed by heating equipment.
• Smoking materials are the leading cause of home fire deaths.
• Most fatal fires kill only one or two people. In 2013, 12 home fires killed five or more people
resulting in a total of 67 deaths.
• During 2007-2011, roughly one of every 320 households had a reported home fire per year.
Smoke Alarms
• Three out of five home fire deaths in 2007-2011 were caused by fires in homes with no smoke
alarms or no working smoke alarms.
• Working smoke alarms cut the risk of dying in reported home fires in half.
• In fires considered large enough to activate the smoke alarm, hardwired alarms operated 93%
of the time, while battery powered alarms operated only 79% of the time.
• When smoke alarms fail to operate, it is usually because batteries are missing, disconnected,
or dead.
• An ionization smoke alarm is generally more responsive to flaming fires and a photoelectric
smoke alarm is generally more responsive to smoldering fires. For the best protection, or
where extra time is needed, to awaken or assist others, both types of alarms, or combination
ionization and photoelectric alarms are recommended.
Escape Planning
• According to an NFPA survey, only one-third of Americans have both developed and practiced
a home fire escape plan.
• Almost three-quarters of Americans do have an escape plan; however, more than half never
practiced it.
• One-third (32%) of survey respondents who made an estimate thought they would have at
least 6 minutes before a fire in their home would become life threatening. The time available
is often less. Only 8% said their first thought on hearing a smoke alarm would be to get out!
THANK YOU AREA FIREFIGHTERS!
• U.S. Fire Departments responded to an estimated annual average of 156,600 cooking-related
fires between 2007-2011, resulting in 400 civilian deaths, 5,080 civilian injuries and $853 million in direct damage.
• Two of every five home fires started in the kitchen.
• Unattended cooking was a factor in one-third of reported home cooking fires.
• Two-thirds of home cooking fires started with ignition of food or other cooking materials.
• Ranges accounted for almost three of every five (57%) of home cooking fire incidents. Ovens
accounted for 16%.
• Children under five face a higher risk of non-fire burns associated with cooking and hot food
and drinks than of being hurt in a cooking fire.
• Microwave ovens are one of the leading home products associated with scald burns. According to the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System, two out of five of the microwave
oven injuries seen at emergency rooms in 2012 were scald burns.
• Clothing was the item first ignited in less than 1% of home cooking fires, but these incidents
accounted for 15% of the cooking fire deaths.
• Fifty-five percent of people injured in home fires involving cooking equipment were hurt while
attempting to fight the fire themselves.
• Failure to clean was a factor contributing to ignition in 17% of reported home fires involving
ovens or rotisseries.
