City will conduct a survey
on columbarium at the
Arlington Public Cemetery
By Kurt Menk
Editor
The Arlington Cemetery
Commitee would like to determine the level of interest
in building a columbarium at
the Arlington Public Cemetery.
A columbarium is a structure specific for interment of
the cremated ashes of individuals much like a burial
plot is used to inter non-cremated remains.
There are still many questions to be answered and options to be evaluated, but the
committee would like to understand the level of interest
within the community.
A survey will be inserted
into this month’s city utility
newsletter. Churches will also
be asked to include a copy of
the survey in their bulletin in
an effort to reach the greater
Arlington area.
The purpose of the survey
is to educate the public on
what is a columbarium and to
gauge the level of interest
from the community on those
people who plan for a traditional burial and those people
who plan for a cremation.
People who have any questions can contact the Arlington City Office at 507-9642378.
The Cemetery Committee
includes City Administrator
Liza Donabauer, Maintenance Supervisor Tony Voigt,
City Council member Jennifer Nuesse, Dennis Van
Moorlehem, Lyle Rud, Lindsey Drexler, Wendy Weckworth, Laura Kloeckl and
Cory Danner.

Correspondent
Sibley County Auditor
Marilee Peterson provided
fund cash balance and budget
reports to the Sibley County
Board on Tuesday morning,
Oct. 25.
Peterson stated that the
general fund revenue is at 59
percent. Expenditures for the
general fund are at 90 percent
of the budget, but pointed out
that some accounts were
under and some were over.
Public Works revenue is at 65
percent, while expenditures
are at 50 percent. Revenue
for Public Health and Human
Services is at 66 percent of
the budget while expenditures are at 87 percent. Debt
service fund is at 23 percent
of the budgeted revenue and
94 percent of the expenditures. Finally, the capital im-
provement fund is at 579 percent of budgeted revenues
and 130 percent of expenditures because of a large
amount transferred to that
fund.
Peterson also wanted to address the deficit in the ditch
fund. Peterson stated that
there is a deficit because the
county has done work and
hasn’t billed for it yet. She
wanted to make it clear that
nothing has been done with
money landowners paid in.
Landowners have 20 years to
pay back work done on ditches. Peterson said that if you
look at billing versus deficit
it is actually a deficit of about
$500,000. Peterson said that
they are working on not
doing ditch repairs until there
is money in that ditch fund.

A’s Jim Stoll featured in new book, Talkin’ Baseball to be held at library Nov. 17
Jim Stoll helped lead Arlington to a place on the Minnesota amateur baseball map
in the 1960s. Recruited by
Eddie and Augie Mueller,
Stoll’s MVP award-winning
performances in the 1967 and
1969 Class B State Amateur
Baseball
Tournaments
brought the city its first two
state championships.
Stoll is a featured profile in
the newly released 375-page
book, The Best of River-Town
Small-Ball, by Doug Nachbar, a Jordan native. Stoll impressed this former Jordan
Brewer, as he did everyone
who played with and against
him, as well as those who admired his heady and gutty
performances from the grandstands.
Stoll’s pitching performance against the Minnesota
Gopher-laden and highly favored Prior Lake Jays in the
Class B championship game
at Jordan in 1969 is highlighted in his profile. It was “a
game for the ages,” played in
front of an overflow crowd
that pushed 3,000 fans in the
little, isolated park on the
banks of Sand Creek. This
easy read captures Stoll at his
candid best. Arlington’s favorite adopted son is quoted
throughout. The Stoll profile
begins with the team’s pregame steak dinner at the
backroom dining hall of
Geno’s Tap Room in downtown Jordan. Stoll overhears
a blowhard at the bar and
watches the betting action
going down -- against him
and the A’s.
The Stoll Story takes you
into the Prior Lake locker
room with Stoll to challenge
the Jays before the game,
“Hey! I’m Jim Stoll,” he introduced himself to the Prior
Lake team of ex-Gophers and
other outstanding Lake Conference athletes from Bloomington and Edina. “You college boys can’t hit a curve
ball. That’s all you’re gonna
see tonight.”
Then, with what long-time
Arlington A’s catcher Dave
Hartmann called “a Major
League curveball,” he went
out and did it, holding the talent-rich Prior Lake Jays to
just five hits, three of which
were infield bleeders, while
ringing up 11 strikeouts enroute to a 6-1 win and the
championship.
The last batter in the game,
former Gopher and St. Cloud
Rox first baseman, Gary
Reierson, is quoted nearly 50
years later, “I still can’t believe he threw me a changeup
on a 3-2 count with the bases
loaded.” Reierson just
missed, and his fly ball to
deep left field ended the
game.
Much of the rest of Jim
Stoll’s storied baseball career,
both professional and amateur, is recounted in his profile. If you don’t know the
Jim Stoll Story, this book is a
great place to learn it, along
with interesting sidebars and
profiles of other great and
colorful local ballplayers of
the Minnesota River Valley
from The Golden Age of
Baseball. If you do know the
whole story, the book rekindles those memories in an interesting read that gives you
goose bumps along much of
the way.
Written as part of a “memory exercise” for Nachbar’s
old friend, former catcher
Frank Hilgers, who has been
in the Memory Care Unit at
Belle Plaine’s Lutheran
Home, the author casts a wide
net of context that characterizes The Golden Age of Baseball, during which “Baseball
was life, and life was baseball.” Nachbar and Hilgers
saw just enough of Stoll and
Arlington to include him in
their cast of favorites - 12
players in all, but “honorable
mention” paid to many more.
Dave Hartmann will be
joined by other former Arlington ballplayers, including
John Wilkens, Larry Klunder,
Joe Driscell and Dan
O’Brien, and by author Doug
Nachbar as well as Gary
Reierson, cleanup hitting first
baseman from the 1969 Prior
Lake Jays. Stoll’s son, Tom
Stoll, will also be in attendance.
“Talkin’ Baseball” at the
Arlington Public Library
from 6 p.m. Thursday, Nov.
17. The topic will be Jim
Stoll, The best of River Town
Small-Ball and The Golden
Age of Baseball.

Motorists should watch for
deer in November, which is
the peak time for deer-vehicle
crashes in the state, according
to the Minnesota Department
of Transportation.
The main reason for the increase in vehicle crashes is
that the deer mating season
occurs in November. Increased deer movement coupled with a reduction in daylight hours increase drivers’
chances of encountering deer
on roadways.
Deer are more likely to be
encountered in areas where
habitat is close to the roadway, such as a bridge cross-

most active.
From 2013 to 2015, there
were 6,149 reported deer-vehicle crashes, according to
the Department of Public
Safety. There were 15 fatalities and 986 injury crashes.
Crashes were reported in
every county in the state.
For those driving on Minnesota roadways, MnDOT offers these tips:
• Be particularly alert in the
fall and spring. More than
half of the crashes happen in
late October and November

• Drive defensively and expect the unexpected. If you
see a deer near the road, slow
down because it might dart in
front of you. If you see one
deer, look for the next one.
Deer often travel together but
single file.
• Don’t swerve. While it
may seem like the right thing
to do, swerving to avoid a
deer could cause you to lose
control or travel into the path
of another vehicle. Striking a
deer is safer than colliding
with another vehicle or a tree.
Stay in your lane, brake firmly and hold onto the steering
wheel.

• Be vigilant at dusk and at

crashes occur during the lowlight or dark hours of the day
when deer move between
daytime bedding sites and
evening feeding areas.
• Slow down and scan the

Opinions
General Election is
next Tuesday, Nov. 8
Our View: Become informed and then
exercise your right to vote
Voters in the Arlington and Green Isle area, along with
people from across Minnesota and around the United
States, will go to the polls for the general election on
Tuesday, Nov. 8.
Although some people may take voting for granted, it is
a right, privilege and responsibility that all citizens in the
United States should exercise on election day. There are
many people in other parts of the world that do not have
this opportunity.
Voting in an election allows citizens to help elect candidates who they believe will best shape the community,
township, school district, county, state and country in
which they live.
It is very important for people to also realize that every
vote does count. There are countless stories about how
one vote has decided an election at a variety of levels over
the years. For example, Richard Nixon, not John
Kennedy, would have become the President of the United
States in 1960 if one person from each voting precinct had
voted differently.
Finally, citizens too many times vote for the popular
candidates regardless of their stance on issues or people
affiliated with a particular party. It is important that citizens become informed about the candidates and on the issues before they go to cast their vote at the polls. The Arlington Enterprise, in last week’s edition and this issue,
have featured a voter’s guide which highlights candidates
running for office at the local, township, school, county
and state levels. The hope is that all readers will take
some time to study the voter’s guide, look at paid advertisements/flyers and make an informed decision on Tuesday, Nov. 8.

Letters To The Editor
Political parties must work together
To The Editor,
The past four years of divided
government (House leadership one
party - Senate the other) has been
highly unproductive and frustrating
for the people of Minnesota. We had
high cash balances at the end of
each legislative session but were unable to come to agreement on significant issues such as major improvement of state highways, payment of
40 percent of our farmers’ bond pay-
ments on the new Sibley East
Schools (payment would be through
the state general fund) and tax cuts
for some of our residents. Plus
more.
Darrel Mosel who has farmed
north of Gaylord for almost 40 years
would be an outstanding addition to
the House of Representatives. He is
a fair, honest man who would work
well with other House members.
Years ago he served in the Minneso-
ta House.
At the end of each legislative session (2014 and 2016) we left many
important issues undone. We need a
House member with Mr. Mosel’s
stature -- someone who will give
and take, who listens well and pulls
out the wisdom from both sides to
piece together workable solutions.

Principal’s Notepad
Fire drills and lock down drills
By Steve Harter
SE Junior High Principal
One of the many requirements
that the state of Minnesota has
placed on public schools is the practicing of fire drills and “lock down
drills”. Each year we are required to
practice a minimum of five fire
drills and a minimum of five lock
down drills. Here at Sibley East
Junior High School we have started
working closely with the Gaylord
Police Department and the Gaylord
Fire Department to ensure that we
are not only doing the minimum
number of drills required by law but
to also make sure that we are using
the best possible practices. For example, during the last fire drill we
closed down a stairwell with a sign
that simply said “fire – go another
direction”. This made the students
think independently and quickly
move in a direction that is different
than usual. Another ongoing practice that we work on during the fire
drills is to make sure that the teachers know where their students are
once they have left the building and
are at the “off-campus” meeting
spots (either the Immanuel Lutheran
Church or the school’s bus garage
parking lot). Often we will hold a
student back from the rest of his/her
class to see if there is radio talk indicating that a child is missing. When
the student has been located the
radio conversation should indicate
where the missing student is located.
Similar improvements in the way
that we structure our lock-down
drills have happened because of the
interactions with the GPD. The way
that lock downs are signaled (one
long ring of the school bells in addition to an intercom all-call) has
changed because of the lack of
speakers in the hallways. We hope
that the students will come to recognize that the long bell means get to a
room as soon as possible. We usually have the lock down drills during
class times but we will probably
have at least one this year during a
class changing time period just so
that we can observe the student
movement and awareness.
Next year when we are in the new
buildings these conversations with
the local police and fire departments
will continue so that we can make
sure that our students and staff are
safe.

Living and dying in America
By Glenn Mollette
We are fortunate to live and die in
America. Billions of people have died
from starvation in third world countries. Millions have died in war torn
places and never knew a moment of
real peace during their lives. So many
live and die in harsh nations where
daily life is mere survival. We are
blessed to be born and to live out our
lives in America.
Often in life we ask ourselves,
"Why in the heck do I care about anything going on in the world?" Stuff
like Presidential elections, taxes, jobs,
border security and wars in the Middle East. The list of world junk is almost endless.
Last week we buried my little 53year-old niece. We watched her grow
up, marry, battle a life of diabetes and
eventually die from kidney failure and
cancer. I didn't write a column last
week because who really cares about
writing when you're standing in the
funeral home and at a graveside?
We buried my wife's father about a
year ago who died suddenly. The sudden death of such a good man and
friend was painful. I've stood at the
grave a lot of my life. My sons and I

buried my first wife who was their
mother. The pain and grief cut our
hearts out. A few years before that my
wife and I buried a little stillborn
baby that ripped us apart in grief.
Through the years I've stood at the
grave of both of my parents and officiated about 400 funerals for friends
and fellow church members.
In the middle of pain and grief we
don't really care about anything else.
Who can focus on the environment,
fossil fuels and worry about Social
Security when we are bleeding grief
and sorrow? I can't and I doubt that
most people, if anyone can.
We stand at the grave and we analyze our lives knowing that soon or
maybe in the next five, ten or at best
30 or so years our lives will be over
and our bodies will be six feet under
the dirt. Our hope is that we will be in
a much better place, removed from
our bodies and cared for by a loving
God. Thus, knowing that our lives are
so short what are we to do?
Keep living. Life is a gift. Don't fret
the small stuff. It's all really small
stuff. Try to love people and accept
people where they are and not where
you think they should be. Forgive

grudges. Make the most of every day.
Don't be timid about living life and
don't live your life based on what you
think everybody else wants you to do.
You may not believe in an afterlife.
What if there is an afterlife, meeting
God, eternity and all that stuff? Do
you really want to chance not trying
to be ready for something that will be
so much longer than this world?
Finally, we should try to leave this
world a better place. This brings us
back to Presidential elections, taking
care of our planet, jobs, border security, terrorism, equality and life around
us. Little people are following us.
Who we vote for and how we leave
this world is so important. We only
get a few years and there is some reason we are here. Make a contribution.
Vote, keep our country safe, help us
stay free and keep working to keep
America - America. A place where
people want to live and a country
where we can die knowing that we
were blessed to live briefly in such a
great land.

Many persons are puzzled to
understand the term “four
penny,” “six penny” “ten
penny” mean, as applied to
nails. “Four penny” means four
pounds to a thousand nails and
“six penny” means six pounds
to the thousand and so on. It is
an English term, and meant at
first, “ten pound” nails, (the
thousand being understood) but
the English clipped it to “tenpuns” and from that it degenerated until “penny” was substituted for pound.
Tie a string about a yard long
to a common door key and take
the string in the right hand,
holding it so the key would clear
the flour four or five inches. If
you can hold the string steady
enough the key will begin to
swing back and forth in a
straight line. Let another person
take your left hand in his and
the motion of the key will
change from the pendulum like
swing to a circular swing. If a
third person will place his hand
on the shoulder of the second
person the key will stop. Try it
and then explain if you can.

of the United States in the election held Tuesday according to
computer based predictions by
the three major television networks and the wire services. At
8:30 a.m. Wednesday, the popular vote was 51% for the CarterMondale ticket and 48% for the
Ford-Dole. The projection gave
Carter 272 electorial votes to
190 for Ford.

Dear Sibley East Community,
On Aug. 15, the Sibley East Board of Education adopted a resolution. The resolution
included the notice of this election. Within, it stated the school Board authorized the notice of
election, part of which reads. “The notice of election so posted and published shall state the
offices to be filled as set forth in the form of ballot below, and shall include information
concerning each established precinct and polling place.”
The notice of election was published in the Oct. 20th and 27th editions of the Arlington
Enterprise and Gaylord Hub in legal time. However, my concern and reason for publishing
this notice is: “The precincts and polling places and voting hours at those polling places for
this general election shall be the same as those for the state general election.” In my opinion, I
do not believe this was done according to the resolution and board approval. See M.S.
205A.07 Subd. 1
The Sibley East School District consists of three cities, and thirteen townships, ten in Sibley
County and three in Nicollet County. I would encourage anyone with questions regarding
their voting hours or precinct place of voting to go to the Sibley or Nicollet county courthouse. Or go to each respective counties’ website under the heading “Elections.”

SE cross country teams
run in the section meet
SE lands 5 players on MRC tennis team
By Kurt Menk
Editor
The Sibley East varsity
girls tennis team has landed
five players on the 2016 Minnesota River Conference All
Conference Girls Tennis
Team.
The all conference selections are seniors Alli Harter
and Ella Lundstrom; juniors
Lindsey Flieth and Faith
Young; and sophomore Emily
Tuchtenhagen.
Harter, a two-year captain,
played primarily number two
singles this season. She compiled a 4-2 mark in conference action and a 19-7 record
overall. It was her fourth all
conference selection.
“Alli had a lot of weapons
including a wicked serve,
good placement and power,
change of pace, soft hands at
the net, and good footwork,”
said Sibley East head coach
Rene Moriarty. “Alli has respect for her opponents and
showed sportsmanship at all
times.”
She is the daughter of
Steve and Audrey Harter,
Gaylord.
Lundstrom, a two-year captain, played primarily number
one singles this season. She
compiled a 4-2 mark in conference play and a 17-9
record overall. It was her
third all conference honor.
“Ella was a levelheaded
competitor, and had the ability to adjust her game to get
the edge on an opponent. She
was a hustler. Ella gave 100
percent when on the court.
She always showed exceptional sportsmanship and respected her opponents.”
She is the daughter of Mark
and Bekah Lundstrom, Arlington.
Young played primarily
number three singles this
year. She had a 5-1 mark in
conference action and a 19-4
record overall. It was her second all conference selection.
“Faith was a smart player
and used her consistency to
wait for openings on the
court,” said Moriarty. “She
was able to place the ball by
using a variety of shots and
keeps her opponents off balance. Faith got down to business on the court. She displayed good sportsmanship,
and respected each opponent.”
She is the daughter of
Brian and Judy Young, Gaylord.
Flieth played primarily
number one doubles this season. She compiled a 4-2 mark
in conference play and a 16-7
record overall. This was her
first all conference selection.
“Lindsey was a steady doubles player with the ability to
find openings on the court,
whether it was at the net, or a
pull the trigger down the line.
She had mental toughness,
and was a good communicator with whomever she had as
a partner. Lindsey was a team
player and accepted her role
in any position she was put
in. Lindsey showed respect
and sportsmanship to her op-
ponents every time she took
the court.
She is the daughter of
Doug and Amy Flieth, Gaylord.
Tuchtenhagen played primarily number one doubles
this season.
She had a 4-2 mark in conference action and a 5-6
record overall. This was her
first all conference honor.
“Emily was consistent with
her groundstrokes, and improved her confidence at the
net,” said Moriarty. “Her
serve was effective in setting
her partner up for putaways at
the net. Emily used her athletic ability, quickness, and
never quit attitude when she
was on the court. Emily respected the game, her opponents, and showed good
sportsmanship.”
She is the daughter of
Travis and Becky Tuchtenhagen, Arlington.
SE volleyball team falls to GSL in playoffs
By Kurt Menk
Editor
The visiting Sibley East
varsity girls volleyball team
was swept by Glencoe-Silver
Lake 3-0 in the opening
round of the Section 2AA,
North Sub-Section playoffs
on Thursday night, Oct. 27.
The Lady Wolverines lost
the three games 25-18, 25-20
and 25-22 respectively.
“I was very happy with the
way we served (93.5 percent),
received serve, and competed
all night,” said Sibley East
head coach Chip Wolverton.
“There were little things that
we worked on improving that
I saw us put into play. What
GSL did a good job of was
getting side outs which pre-
vented us from stringing
points together in the first
two sets. I really thought we
were over the hump in the
third set when we came back
from a 13-9 deficit to take a
15-13 lead, which we grew to
17-14 on the next server. But
the next series of points, in
which we made three hitting
errors at the end of some long
rallies kind of summed up the
night. When we put the ball
in play, they had a hard time
scoring points. But they play
such good defense, it’s hard
to get kills, and eventually we
would make some mistakes.”
Senior Hannah Wentzlaff
converted 12 of 13 serves
with two aces and contributed
10 kills, six digs and two
blocks. Junior Taylor Brinkman collected 14 of 15
serves, 15 set assists, four
kills, three digs and two
blocks. Junior Morgan
Stearns recorded 19 set assists, six kills, three digs and
one block while sophomore
Rachel Rettmann had 11 of
11 serves, nine digs, six kills
and three blocks. Senior
Emma Samletzka contributed
eight kills, two digs and one
block while junior Taylor
Perschau added seven of
seven serves and 13 digs.
“Overall, after an up and
down season, I thought we
were playing our best volleyball at the end which is what
you want,” said Wolverton.
“We just ran into some really
stiff competition that played a
little better down the stretch.
I was very happy with the
leadership we got from our
seniors, Hannah and Emma,
and the fact that they both
played really well in their last
high school match. I’m looking forward to next year. We
have a nice blend of sophomores and juniors going forward that will use the experience gained this season,
along with some hard work in
the off season, to take some
big steps forward next year.”
The Lady Wolverines conclude the season with a 1-5 in
the Minnesota River Conference and a 12-18 record overall.

By Kurt Menk

Jackson County Central 4214 in the playoffs on Saturday afternoon, Oct. 29.
“In some ways Jackson
County Central is better than
they were last year when they
lost in the finals,” said Sibley

to hurt you on offense and I
think play better on defense.”

14 carries for 81 yards while
senior Brody Bates had 13 attempts for 52 yards and one
touchdown. Senior Seth

two carries while junior

Rodriguez added 13 and 10
yards respectively.
Gavin Bates, who suffered
three interceptions, complet-
ed three of 12 passing attempts for 75 yards and one
touchdown.
Senior Scott Holmquist
caught one pass for 48 yards
and one touchdown while
junior Jacob Willmsen and
senior Leighton Rose added
one catch apiece for 14 and
13 yards respectively.
Brody Bates sparked the
Sibley East defense with 11
tackles and one quarterback
sack. Gavin Bates and juniors
Jaden Podratz and Lucas
Chavez recorded eight tackles
each while senior Tanner
Kurtzweg and freshman Lincoln Carpenter compiled
seven tackles apiece. Senior
Cody Voight had four tackles
and a quarterback sack.
Holmquist and junior Holden
Lindquist added one interception each.

the season with a 4-6 record
overall.

increase or decrease.
First, we need to re-pass
the tax relief bill from last
session, with additional tax
relief if possible.
All voting citizens need to
understand the economic
principle that lower taxes and
reasonable regulations on
businesses result in more tax
revenues. Excessive taxes
and unreasonable regulations
can actually retard the growth
of Minnesota’s economy, resulting in lower tax revenues.
Both presidents Kennedy and
Reagan proved this economic
fact.
This is why a gas tax increase proposed by the governor would be detrimental to
our economy. In April 2015,
the Dayton administration’s
Minnesota Management and
Budget office issued a quarterly report which stated that
a dramatic reduction in the
gas price had been equivalent
to a $2 billion tax cut “with
an average savings of $900
per household.” This resulted
in a boost to our state’s economy and was a primary contributor to our $2 billion surplus.
We also need to reform
Minnesota’s prevailing wage
law, which is one of the four
highest in the nation, according to the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce. This law
artificially inflates the cost to
build and repair schools,
roads, bridges, and city and
county projects. This has a
dramatic effect on higher
taxes especially local and
farm property taxes.
To illustrate, according to a
former county commissioner,
a county construction project
in our district cost $2.5 million with prevailing wage. If
built without prevailing
wage, it would have cost $1.7
million, an $800,000 savings
to the taxpayer on this project
alone. Multiply that across
the state and it cost taxpayers
$10’s of millions in higher
costs per year, much of it
levied on local property
taxes. The majority of DFL
legislators and the Governor
oppose any and all reforms to
lower the prevailing wage,
especially hurting the citizens
of rural Minnesota. Lowering
Minnesota’s prevailing wage
would free up millions of existing tax dollars for other
necessary construction projects such as schools, roads
and bridges, without raising
taxes.
Education,
K-12:
Statewide implementation
of teacher evaluations
began in 2014. Do you support legislation that would
require districts to consider
performance as well as seniority when deciding
teacher layoffs?
I voted for statewide implementation of teacher evaluations. In the majority of private sector jobs, seniority
plus performance is usually
considered when deciding on
layoffs. The Minnesota
Chamber of Commerce and
many other business organizations support this change as
a necessary reform to place
the best teachers in the classroom.
However, I believe the primary problem in public education is the micro-management of the teacher in the
classroom by the Minnesota
Department of Education and
the U.S. Department of Education. These two agencies
have pushed unproven educational experiments onto our
public schools in spite of op-
position from many local
school boards, parents and
many public-school teachers.
The following are just a
few examples: Outcome
Based Education, Goals
2000, the Profile of Learning
and the latest educational
boondoggle, Common Core.
These unproven educational
experiments try to micromanage the teacher in the
classroom on how they present academics to our children.
These experiments have
wasted billions of tax dollars
and have damaged academic
results for students.
Case in point: In 2014, it
was reported that in Minneapolis inner-city public
schools, only 23 percent of
10th grade minority students
can read up to their grade
level, despite receiving almost twice as much funding
as our rural school districts.
These experimental educational techniques are directly
affecting students’ academic
performance. The governor
and DFL legislators’ only solution is to spend millions
more on the same failed system with little if any reforms.
Cristo Rey private school
takes the same minority students from the inner city and
for a little more than half the
cost of public schools graduates the majority of their students ready to enter college.
Something is desperately
wrong in our inner city public
school system and it is dooming thousands of students to a
life of poverty and low-income jobs. Unfortunately, the
DFL legislators and the governor oppose vouchers and
school choice, caring more
about political contributions
from special interests than
creating a brighter future for
these minority children.
Every study on school choice
except one proves that when
competition is introduced into
the educational system, academic performance for students in all schools increases,
without spending millions of
more tax dollars. We must reform this failed system. This
is the primary education reform that needs to happen in
Minnesota. It will also allow
us to equalize funding across
the state of Minnesota for
public schools and increase
funding for rural school districts without higher property
taxes.
Health care: MNsure, the
state’s health care exchange, has come under
heavy criticism since its creation. Is it serving its purpose? Do you advocate any
changes, or should it remain as is?
MNsure is a health-care Titanic that has hit the iceberg
and there is no way to salvage or fix the many problems it has. Tom Forsyth, a
MNsure board member,
wrote an article in March
2015 where he asked the
question, “What is the definition of ‘Madness’?” According to Forsyth, the answer is
to continue to spend tax
money on a failed system,
namely MNsure. He is right;
this is madness.
We have spent almost $400
million on MNsure and for
this we have gotten skyrocketing deductibles and premiums! MNsure claims to have
reduced Minnesota’s uninsured rate to 4½ percent;
however, prior to MNsure,
Minnesota’s uninsured rate
was approximately 9 percent.
Six percent of that 9 percent
were eligible for a government health-care program but
had not signed up. If we
would’ve simply reformed
the system in a way that required the 6 percent to sign
up for a government health
program, our uninsured rate
would be at 3 percent or less
without having spent over
$400 million on the MNsure
disaster.
Remember, Minnesota had
a plan to help uninsurable individuals prior to Obamacare
and MNsure. That program,
the Minnesota Comprehensive Health Association program, was also financially
solvent. All that was needed
was a few minor reforms to
dramatically reduce the number of Minnesota’s uninsured.
Top priority: If elected,
what is your top priority for
the 2016 Legislature? Why
are you running for office?
Top priority is to bring a
more reasonable voice to the
legislature. Our current representative is too extremely
partisan. It is important to
find some common ground in
order to make progress for
our district.
Gridlock: The 2016 Legislature adjourned without
addressing key items –
taxes, transportation and
bonding bills. As of this
writing, leadership could
not agree on an agenda for
a special session. Partisan
gridlock is a recurring
theme. What specific measures do you support to increase the transparency and
reduce the gridlock of the
lawmaking process?
I would like to have the
committee structure more
open to public input. Also
have the major bills finished
earlier in the session. But,
more importantly, we need a
representative who will work
to find common ground and
not adhere to such extreme
positions.
Budget: The tax-andspend debate is at the core
of setting the state budget.
What is your formula in
terms of tax and spending
policies to strengthen the
state’s economy? Be specific
in which personal and/or
business taxes you would
increase or decrease.
I favor a progressive income tax system as the fairest
way to fund the states responsibilities.
I feel the property tax is too
regressive of a tax, and needs
to be reformed. I think the
gas tax is the fairest way to
fund transportation.
Education,
K-12:
Statewide implementation
of teacher evaluations
began in 2014. Do you support legislation that would
require districts to consider
performance as well as seniority when deciding
teacher layoffs?
I value experience in a
person’s occupation. I would
prefer the use of length of
service as the main criteria in
considering layoffs and use
1 col. x 5 Iinches
Top priority: If elected,
what is your top priority for
the 2016 Legislature? Why
are you running for office?
I have a strong desire and
commitment to support legislation that improves the lives
and economic opportunities
for the people and children of
our rural district. My top priorities include the following:
• Provide funding to upgrade our roads and bridges,
especially completing Highway 212 to four lanes.
• Provide property tax relief for small businesses,
farms and citizens, including
an expanded childcare tax
credit for working families.
• Repeal MNsure (which
has wasted over $400 million) and pass health-care reform that will decrease premiums and increase access
for patients.
•Provide equal funding for
rural school districts.
• Oppose DFL efforts to
force unionization of childcare providers, which would
take tax subsidies that benefit
low income families to pay
union dues to union bosses
thereby increasing the cost of
day care and reducing the
number of day care providers
for low income families.
Gridlock: The 2016 Legislature adjourned without
addressing key items –
taxes, transportation and
bonding bills. As of this
writing, leadership could
not agree on an agenda for
a special session. Partisan
gridlock is a recurring
theme. What specific measures do you support to increase the transparency and
reduce the gridlock of the
lawmaking process?
Gridlock in this past legislative session occurred primarily because the metro
Senate Democrats, supported
by the governor, broke their
agreement with House Republicans by adding a lastminute amendment to fund
the Southwest Light Rail. The
Southwest Light Rail funding
bill had never even received a
committee or floor vote in the
House or the Senate during
the session. It was simply
added by the metro Senate
Democrats to create gridlock
in the last few minutes of session.
Following this breached
agreement, the governor refused to call a special session
unless the Republicans
agreed to provide funding for
the light rail project. Eventually, the governor and DFL
resolved the funding for
Southwest light rail outside
of the Legislature, but even
then the governor came up
with additional requirements
and refused to call a special
session to pass the transportation and tax bills which had
overwhelming bipartisan support. It seems these metro
Senate Democrats intentionally created the gridlock in an
attempt to influence the upcoming elections. My hope is
that the voters will send a
message to the radical metro
Democrats and the governor
that this type of behavior is
unacceptable by elected representatives.
In regards to the tax bill,
the governor stated that if we
passed his supplemental
spending bill of approximately $160 million he would sign
the tax relief bill. We upheld
our end of the agreement and
passed the supplemental
spending bill, but the governor vetoed the tax relief bill,
claiming that it needed a
minor word change, which
could’ve been corrected administratively without a special session. The governor
needs to sign legislation that
has strong bipartisan support
from the House and Senate.
Minnesotans expect compromise legislation that benefits
all citizens and the governor
needs to cooperate instead of
looking for ways to create
gridlock.
Budget: The tax-andspend debate is at the core
of setting the state budget.
What is your formula in
terms of tax and spending
policies to strengthen the
state’s economy? Be specific
in which personal and/or
business taxes you would
Darrel Mosel
performance as a secondary
consideration.
Health care: MNsure, the
state’s health care exchange, has come under
heavy criticism since its creation. Is it serving its purpose? Do you advocate any
changes, or should it remain as is?
There are many parts of
MNsure that are working satisfactory. I have called the
governor to call a special session to deal with the shortcomings. Currently, there are
very serious problems with
the individual insurance coverage and costs. These problems should be dealt with immediately!
Jobs benefit: Should the
state mandate paid family
leave? If so, should all sizes
of employers have to comply, and how should a program be financed?
Yes, it could be provided
by larger employers who
would have more flexibility
to adjust their employee
schedules. I would favor a
state matching program.
Transportation: What
will it take pass a comprehensive funding for roads,
bridges and transit? What
sources of revenue should
be raised for what specific
programs? Or is current
funding sufficient?
It will take a willingness to
find common ground and recognize the differences that
each region of the state has in
terms of transportation need.
I think the gas tax is the most
fair and most sustainable
method of transportation
funding. Currently, our representation is to opposed to the
needs of other parts of the
state, as a result we have political gridlock which causes
our area to have our transportation needs to not be met.
Elections: Do you support
moving the primary election from August to June in
an effort to increase voter
turnout?
I would support moving the
primary from August to June.

Minnesota Senate, District 18
Amy Wilde, Democrat
Scott Newman, Republican
Top priority: If elected,
what is your top priority for
the 2016 Legislature? Why
are you running for office?
Top priorities: fix the
health-care crisis and address
transportation funding.
Why am I running: I have
the time. Unfortunately for
Minnesota, many good young
legislators cannot serve because they need to support
their families. I am a fiscal
conservative and believe that
political philosophy fits well
with the people of this district. I have the personal passion to serve my constituents
and protect our democracy.
Gridlock: The 2016 Legislature adjourned without
addressing key items –
taxes, transportation and
bonding bills. As of this
writing, leadership could
not agree on an agenda for
a special session. Partisan
gridlock is a recurring
theme. What specific measures do you support to increase the transparency and
reduce the gridlock of the
lawmaking process?
Require meaningful public
committee hearings on all important issues. This takes
time but it does provide transparency, gives voters the opportunity to be involved in
the process and influence the
decisions of their elected officials.
Budget: The tax-andspend debate is at the core
of setting the state budget.
What is your formula in
terms of tax and spending
policies to strengthen the
state’s economy? Be specific
in which personal and/or
business taxes you would
increase or decrease.
Reform the burdensome
regulatory scheme in Minnesota. Remember for every
new regulation adopted by
state agencies, a state employee must be paid to administer it at an enormous
cost to taxpayers. Require a
cost-benefit analysis and audits on all spending by state
agencies and block grants to
nonprofits. By doing so, I believe the waste would become glaringly clear and we
would avoid theft and abuse
like we saw in the Community Action of Minneapolis
nonprofit case. I would reduce or repeal the corporate
income tax, statewide business property tax, the tax on
Social Security and veterans’
pensions. I subscribe to the
economic theory that overtaxation slows the economy
down while tax relief increases economic activity which in
turn actually leads to increased revenue for the state.
Education,
K-12:
Statewide implementation
of teacher evaluations
began in 2014. Do you support legislation that would
Scott Newman
require districts to consider
performance as well as seniority when deciding
teacher layoffs?
Yes. Both tenure and job
performance are reasonable
criteria to use in determining
which teachers should remain
in the classroom.
Health care: MNsure, the
state’s health care exchange, has come under
heavy criticism since its creation. Is it serving its purpose? Do you advocate any
changes, or should it remain as is?
Health insurance is most
important issue in the next
session. Rising costs have
now put health insurance out
of reach for many. MNsure is
the culprit. Not a single Republican voted for it while
Dayton and the DFL Senate
refuse to admit it’s a problem.
Every suggestion, idea and
amendment by the GOP has
been rejected out of hand by
Dayton and the majority in
the Senate. Tax deductions
and credits on health premiums, HSA accounts, seek a
federal waiver, allow involvement by insurance agents in
MNsure, allow the purchase
of health insurance approved
in other states, allow the private market involvement and
allow the creation of new
groups to offer insurance to
their members. These ideas
and more have all been rejected by those who created
this crises. Resolution of
health-care costs will be up to
the voters by sending legislators to St Paul who will fix it.
Jobs benefit: Should the
state mandate paid family
leave? If so, should all sizes
of employers have to comply, and how should a program be financed?
I do not support a mandate
by the state for paid family
leave, especially as written in
last year’s bill. It would have
been a substantial tax increase on all working families and businesses while
only benefiting very few.
Meanwhile, it would have
created a new online adminis-
tration system similar to MNsure and required a massive
new state bureaucracy with
over a hundred new state employees.
Transportation: What
will it take to pass a comprehensive funding for
roads, bridges and transit?
What sources of revenue
should be raised for what
specific programs? Or is
current funding sufficient?
Southwest Light Rail
(SWLR) from Minneapolis to
Eden Prairie at $100 million
per mile is the keystone. Resolve it and money for transportation will follow. Hearings to determine the cost of
maintenance, operation, ridership, future subsidies and
possible alternatives to
SWLR is the solution. As the
new chairman or existing minority lead on the Senate
Transportation Committee, I
will insist we hold those hearings.
Elections: Do you support
moving the primary election from August to June in
an effort to increase voter
turnout?
Yes. Generally, incumbents
do not favor a June primary
because their opponents are
at home campaigning while
they are working in St Paul.
Nevertheless, a June primary
would likely increase voter
turnout, reduce wasteful
spending that occurs in a long
primary season and allows
candidates and voters alike to
begin concentrating on the
general election.
Briefly summarize your
personal background and
qualifications.
I am from Hutchinson and
currently live in rural
Hutchinson Township. Married to Ginny for 42 years,
three adult children and six
grandchildren.
Education: Bachelor of

Top priority: If elected,
what is your top priority for
the 2016 Legislature? Why
are you running for office?
Sustainability. Minnesotans
need sustainable funding for
transportation, public education, local government functions, public safety and public
health. Our Legislature has
not dealt responsibly with
several of these issues. Revenues should not rely on cost
shifting, gimmicks or occasional surpluses. Stagnant
formulas and tax policies
need updating.
Gridlock: The 2016 Legislature adjourned without
addressing key items –
taxes, transportation and
bonding bills. As of this
writing, leadership could
not agree on an agenda for
a special session. Partisan
gridlock is a recurring
theme. What specific measures do you support to increase the transparency and
reduce the gridlock of the
lawmaking process?
Tough decisions should not
be put off until the last week.
The House withheld its 2016
bonding proposal until six
days before the session
ended. Drafting errors, gridlock and scant time for hearings resulted. Bipartisan
property tax relief for farmers
was lost to the chaos; unless
more people with rural backgrounds like me are elected,
it may not be proposed again.
Bonding proposals should
have deadlines like bills do.
Budget: The tax-andspend debate is at the core
of setting the state budget.
What is your formula in
terms of tax and spending
policies to strengthen the
state’s economy? Be specific
in which personal and/or
business taxes you would
increase or decrease.
Past legislatures played
games with a “balanced
budget” by cost shifting to
property taxes. Corporate
loopholes create perverse incentives for firms to do things
like invest overseas. I would
reform and simplify Minnesota’s corporate tax. I oppose income tax increases on
families making less than
$100,000 per year. I do not
oppose cities using an extra
sales tax for capitol projects
such as libraries and transit if
that is what locals decide to
do.
I oppose the past legislative
practice of borrowing from
public schools in order to balance the state budget.
K-12:
Education,
Statewide implementation
of teacher evaluations
began in 2014. Do you support legislation that would
require districts to consider
performance as well as seniority when deciding
teacher layoffs?
I do not oppose “performance” as one criteria in
teacher evaluation, but teachers of remedial or special education students should not
be judged on the performance
of students of lesser ability.
Health care: MNsure, the
state’s health care exchange, has come under
heavy criticism since its creation. Is it serving its purpose? Do you advocate any
changes, or should it re-
Amy Wilde
main
as is?
The MNsure exchange
should be more user friendly.
However, thousands more
people now have health coverage, so that is good. The
real culprits behind skyrocketing medical costs are drug
costs, health insurance executive pay, over-use of procedures caused by fear of malpractice suits or patient pressure and a greedy corporate
medicine culture. An option
like “basic Medicare” for
MNsure enrollees could make
insurance companies more
transparent and competitive.
At PrimeWest Health, we saw
rural Medicaid reimbursements rise, duplicative costs
decline and health outcomes
improve. The same could be
done with a public option on
the MNsure exchange, but
congressional action or a
waiver is needed. Public drug
advertising should be restricted, as it is in most other nations.
Jobs benefit: Should the
state mandate paid family
leave? If so, should all sizes
of employers have to comply, and how should a program be financed?
I would need to study the
impact of mandated paid
family leave before making a
decision. It could be a good
benefit for long-term employees.
Transportation: What
will it take to pass a comprehensive funding for
roads, bridges and transit?
What sources of revenue
should be raised for what
specific programs? Or is
current funding sufficient?
It will take bipartisan cooperation to pass a comprehensive transportation bill. Legislators need to stop playing
“gotcha” games designed to
make the other party look
bad, and develop solutions
that will resolve project backlogs across the state. Instead
of arguing over who needs a
larger piece of pie, it is time
to make the pie larger by
dealing with inflation in road
construction and maintenance
costs and materials. Possible
sources of revenue include
slightly higher fees for license tabs, or sales taxes on
electric car batteries or gasoline that are dedicated to
roads and bridges. Those user
fees remain low compared to
the cost of maintenance, and
should perhaps be tied to inflation rather than subjected
to legislative gamesmanship.
Every branch of government
(state, county, township,
cities) needs additional revenue to repair their transportation infrastructure. Public transit is a genuine need in
both rural and metro communities, and has different funding sources. Local communities should decide which
form of transit (buses, vans,
rail, etc.) is best for their
community, using the resources available to them.
Elections: Do you support
moving the primary election from August to June in
an effort to increase voter
turnout?
I have mixed feelings about
moving the primary date.
June might or might not be
more convenient and it would
lengthen the campaign season. I support the earlier presidential primary but would
like to hear opinions of constituents, not just party professionals, on state elections.
Other issues: Are there
other issues you want to address?
Rural economic development, including expanding
access to high-speed Internet
to all District 18 residents.
As a former Birthright volunteer, I am pro-life, desiring
alternatives to abortion and
care before and after birth.
Briefly summarize your
personal background and
qualifications.
I served on the Meeker
County Board from 19972010. During most of that period, I was an officer on the
Meeker-McLeod-Sibley
Community Health Board, including being chair for three
years. I was a co-founder of
PrimeWest Health, which
provides medical coverage
for low-income residents of
McLeod, Meeker and
Renville counties, and served
on my county hospital board
for eight years, giving me a
strong background in rural
health-care delivery. Prior to
being a commissioner, and
since leaving the county
board, I worked as a journalist for three District 18 newspapers, primarily covering
school boards, city councils,
agriculture and local business. Prior to that, I did administrative support in a special education office. This has
provided a strong network of
contacts for important issues.
We have lived in District
18 since 1972; our four adult
children attended public
schools and all graduated
from college. We have six
grandchildren. My husband
and I have operated small
businesses in Dassel and
were Dassel Area Chamber of
Commerce officers. We also
did part-time farming on
acreage in Collinwood Township. We currently reside in
Dassel Township and remain
active on our church board
and community activities. I
currently serve as treasurer
on the Minnesota River Area
Agency on Aging Board, am
on the Pioneerland Regional
Library Board, and am a volunteer driver.
To date, my candidacy has
been endorsed by Education
Minnesota, Minnesota Nurses
Association, Teamsters Drive,
Minnesota Farmers Union
PAC, and District 18 DFL.

U.S Congressional District 7
Dave Hughes, Republican
Collin Peterson, Democrat
Top priority: If elected,
what is your top priority for
the 2017 Congress? Why
are you running for office?
I want to dramatically reduce the size and scope of the
federal government, including
much lower spending and
much lower taxes, in order to
increase the individual liberty
and prosperity of all Americans. I’m running for Congress because I believe our
nation has been heading in
the wrong direction for
decades, and I believe I have
the vision, integrity, and commitment to lead us in a new
direction – on that is much
freer, more prosperous, and
more secure.
Foreign affairs: Is the
United States tough enough
in its foreign policy with regard to its response to terrorism? Are additional
measures warranted? Be
specific.
The Obama administration
has not been tough enough.
Military force must be overwhelming in order to achieve
victory quickly and decisively, so we can end hostilities.
Our efforts thus far have been
piecemeal and ineffective.
Any comprehensive global
war on terrorism must include
the propaganda piece; one
cannot conduct this propaganda effort if the administration
is unwilling to name the
enemy, but instead works to
obfuscate the issue.
Health care: Health-care
costs have increased under
the Affordable Care Act,
and it remains unpopular
with many Americans.
Would you vote to abolish
the Act? Barring that, are
there specific reforms you
would support?
I will vote to completely repeal Obamacare and implement in its place free-market
reforms that include portability, national marketplace, tort
reform, and full tax deductibility for individuals.
Several current members of
Congress and others have
many good proposals already.
Education: What role
should the federal government play in ensuring that
U.S. graduates can compete
in the global economy? Are
there specific measures that
you advocate?
Education is so very important that the best thing the
federal government can do in
this regard is abolish the U.S.
Department of Education.
Parents, state and local governments, and other associations, know much better how
to teach their students than
does the federal government.
Energy: Do you support
current restrictions on domestic oil and natural gas
production, or would you
like to see them reduced or
increased?
I oppose most of the current restrictions on domestic
oil and natural gas production. With a firm commitment
to environmental stewardship,
I will strive to promote the
full and rapid expansion of
development of all sources of
energy in our nation. With an
equally firm commitment to
the free market, I oppose federal subsidization of these efforts. Remove the hindrances
and let American innovation
thrive!
Debt: Federal entitlements are the main drivers
of rising U.S. debt. What
specific steps can be taken
to keep programs such as
Social Security, Medicare
and Medicaid solvent and
still serve those individuals
in need?
Congress has delayed
much-needed reform for far
too long. Social Security and
Medicare/Medicaid are facing
certain, looming demographic
train wrecks. In the short
David Hughes
term, Social Security can be
reformed by modestly raising
the eligibility age that reflects
increasing life expectancy. I
reject any idea of dramatically increasing the OASDI contribution and benefit base currently set at $118,500 per
year in individual earnings.
Doing so would amount to
the same old, unfair, counterproductive, “sock it to the
rich” approach. We must start
work immediately on a sensible, long-term, time-phased
fix to Social Security that gets
us to a completely different
model, keeping in mind that
any reform would not affect
current recipients. We should
look to the examples of
Galveston County, Texas, and
the country of Chile for best
practices as we consider moving these programs from the
federal government to the
states. Medicare experiences
$100 billion in fraud year in
and year out. I rarely hear any
elected official in Washington, D.C., get too excited
about this continual outrage,
and I see even less being
done to remedy it. A good
start to reforming Medicare
would be to solve this menace
immediately.
Transportation: What
role should the federal government play in funding
state and local transportation infrastructure? Be specific.
I think the federal government should get completely
out of the business of funding
any state or local transportation infrastructure, especially
light rail. Instead of American
taxpayers sending their hardearned income to Washington, D.C., so D.C. can turn
around and send us back a little, we should keep that income back home where we
know best how to spend it on
infrastructure.
Economy: What steps do
you support to stimulate the
growth of jobs?
One, immediately abolish
most of the red tape and other
hindrances preventing full,
rapid, vigorous development
of all our sources of energy,
including clean coal and nuclear. Two, immediately abolish the federal corporate income tax. This would make
the U.S. much more competitive in the global market, and
would attract companies to
bring their global headquarters and operations here.
Three, throw out entirely our
current federal tax code, and
replace it with a much simpler, much fairer, more productive national sales tax like
the FairTax. Four, repeal regulations and statutes that
drive up prices and otherwise
hurt us, such as CAFE standards (Corporate Average
Fuel Economy), the Jones
Act, the Davis-Bacon Act,
and unwarranted provisions
in the Dodd-Frank Act. Five,
completely repeal the jobkilling Obamacare.
Agriculture: agricultural
leaders fear that the U.S.
Environmental Protection
Agency will use perceived
authority under the Clean
Water Act provision Waters
of the United States to invoke practices and requirements on private farm land,
which could alter future
crop production practices
and livestock grazing. Do
you support the provision?
Why or why not?
I totally oppose the EPA’s
overreach with its Waters of
the United States (WOTUS)
rule. Congress should withhold all funding to implement
WOTUS, rescind the rule itself, and immediately re-write
the Clean Water Act, the
Clean Air Act, and others to
prevent the EPA and other executive agencies from similarly running amok in the future.
Immigration: Do America’s immigration laws need
to be changed? What should
be the tenets of any immigration reform legislation?
First of all, our current laws
need to be fully enforced by
whoever is president. Second,
Congress must exercise more
vigorous oversight, ready and
willing to act in a meaningful
way when the executive
branch fails to enforce federal
statute according to the both
the spirit and letter of the law.
Third, our immigration laws
must be rational – rooted in
the self-interest of America,
designed to benefit the American people, not based on
self-destructive notions of
compassion that ignore our
safety and self-interest. Our
current annual levels of legal
immigration should be greatly
reduced in order to foster a
period of assimilation that has
been absent for some time.
Foreign trade: Should the
Trans-Pacific Partnership
be ratified? Be specific in
your reasons.
Trans-Pacific Partnership
should not be ratified in its
current form until the next
president enters office and
has had a chance to review it
and improve it. I generally
favor TPP, but need to learn
more about the dispute resolution provisions, and would
want to speak with experts on
both sides before I cast my
vote.
Other issues: Are there
other issues you want to address?
I’m a strong defender of
our Second Amendment
rights, and will oppose any
effort to infringe on those
rights.
I’m unashamedly pro-life.
I support a constitutional
amendment to end abortion.
I’m an ardent supporter of
our First Amendment rights,
and will oppose any effort to
infringe on our individual religious liberties.
I want to pass a constitutional amendment to term
limit members of Congress.
I want to pass a Balanced
Budget constitutional amendment.
Briefly summarize your
personal background and
qualifications.
I served on active duty in
the U.S. Air Force for 21
years as an officer, aviator,
and combat veteran, deploying seven times to the combat
zone. My wife Amanda and I
are blessed with seven children, ranging in age from 12
years to 1. I’m a lifelong
Constitutional Conservative
Republican in the mold of
James Madison, Calvin
Coolidge and Ronald Reagan.
Career politicians have made
a huge mess of our great nation. Well, I’m not a politician; this is my first time running for elective office, and I
believe I have the vision, integrity, and commitment to
serve the people of western
Minnesota better than my opponent.
Top priority: If elected,
what is your top priority for
the 2017 Congress? Why
are you running for office?
What’s most important to
me is continuing to be an independent voice on the issues
for Minnesota’s Seventh District in Washington, D.C. I
represent my district and I’m
proud to serve as the top Democrat on the House Agriculture Committee. Legislatively, my top priority for 2017 is
to reauthorize the Farm Bill.
There is a lot of stress in farm
country with low commodity
prices. I am pushing for the
early consideration of this bill
in Congress because we face
a number of significant challenges in getting this bill
completed.
In addition to the Farm
Bill, I will also work on providing flood protection to residents and make sure that
rural interests are represented
when important issues like
energy or health care are
being debated.
Foreign affairs: Is the
United States tough enough
in its foreign policy with regard to its response to terrorism? Are additional
measures warranted? Be
specific.
One of the biggest challenges we face in confronting
terrorism is the need to be
right 100 percent of the time.
We have done a better job of
information sharing with domestic agencies but need to
do a better job working with
our allies to identify and stop
terrorists. Next, I support
stronger sanctions against
Iran which is a state sponsor
of terrorism. Lastly, I believe
we need to do a better job of
vetting people who come to
this county and have voted to
do just that.
Health care: Health care
costs have increased under
the Affordable Care Act,
and it remains unpopular
with many Americans.
Would you vote to abolish
the Act? Barring that, are
there specific reforms you
would support?
The health-care law has
been a big problem and that is
why I voted against its passage in 2010. We continue to
see issues with our healthcare system go unaddressed
because of the stalemate between Republicans who remain focused on repealing the
entire bill and the president,
who will never allow that to
happen. I have voted on numerous occasions to reform
our system, including delaying the individual mandate,
providing additional flexibilities in implementing the law,
and voting to stop the law
from unfairly taxing people’s
health benefits.
I believe that people should
move on and find an area of
common ground to fix the
law on a bipartisan basis,
while keeping the protections
for people with pre-existing
conditions.
Addressing the issue of
skyrocketing drug prices
could be a good place to start.
Education: What role
should the federal government play in ensuring that
U.S. graduates can compete
in the global economy? Are
there specific measures that
you advocate?
While the federal government should continue to provide resources for students, I
have been supportive of returning more control of the
decisions about how to educate children to parents and
local officials. I also think
that more can be done to
Collin Peterson
bring down the cost of college education, and I am supportive of efforts to let students refinance their loans at
lower rates.
Finally, I also want to see a
greater emphasis on work
training and community college programs that train people for the many good-paying
manufacturing jobs that are
available today.
Energy: Do you support
current restrictions on domestic oil and natural gas
production, or would you
like to see them reduced or
increased?
I am for an “all of the
above” energy policy. I support the safe production of oil
and natural gas as well as the
pipelines needed to get this
energy to market. I was an
early supporter of the bill to
end the crude oil export ban,
which will further encourage
investments in oil and natural
gas fields like those nearby
North Dakota.
Debt: Federal entitlements are the main drivers
of rising U.S. debt. What
specific steps can be taken
to keep programs such as
Social Security, Medicare
and Medicaid solvent and
still serve those individuals
in need?
The debt is a large and
growing issue. In the late ’90s
we were on a path to pay
down the debt, but the reckless Bush tax cuts and unpaid
wars contributed to a weakened financial position. I took
a tough vote in 2010 with 37
other representatives on a bipartisan basis to combine tax
increases, spending reductions and entitlement reform
to address this situation. I will
continue to be a voice in the
middle, willing to do the right
thing to get or fiscal house in
order. Although it’s true that
an aging population is increasing the cost of these
safety net programs, we can’t
try to balance the budget on
the backs of seniors or break
our promise to them after
they paid their entire lifetime
into the program.
Transportation: What
role should the federal government play in funding
state and local transportation infrastructure? Be specific.
We all benefit from a
strong transportation system
with connected roads, rail and
airports.
Part of the federal responsibility has been to keep these
systems efficient and modern.
We have fallen behind in providing the funds necessary to
keep up with a growing economy. That is why I support
common sense measures like
increasing the gas tax, which
hasn’t kept up with inflation.
I also support provisions in
the recently passed transportation bill to help local
communities respond to the
impacts of increased rail traffic.
Economy: What steps do
you support to stimulate the
growth of jobs?
We need to streamline and
eliminate a number of burdensome regulations which
add costs to businesses. We
have the potential to create
jobs by bringing back money
held overseas by U.S. companies and making the tax code
less complex and more competitive. I also support consistent, predictable, and reliable
investments in infrastructure
like roads, broadband and
water infrastructure that help
businesses and communities
grow more efficiently.
Agriculture: Agricultural
leaders fear that the U.S.
Environmental Protection
Agency will use perceived
authority under the Clean
Water Act provision Waters
of the United States to invoke practices and requirements on private farm land,
which could alter future
crop production practices
and livestock grazing. Do
you support the provision?
Why or why not?
I have been a strong opponent of the EPA’s Waters of
the U.S. rule. This is a big
concern for producers and
could make it harder for producers to do the work on their
farms that is needed to increase productivity. If the
EPA tries to micro-manage
land use decisions it will put
a halt to new water drainage
management technologies
which can increase yields,
promote clean water and contribute to our region’s flood
mitigation solution.
Immigration: Do America’s immigration laws need
to be changed? What should
be the tenets of any immigration reform legislation?
The partisanship on this
issue has made it hard to
make the changes we need to
meet some of our workforce
needs. In agriculture, we have
produce rotting on the vine
because of a lack of labor. We
are also sending away newly
minted PhDs from U.S. universities in science and math
because they can’t get the
permits needed to stay. This is
hurting our Minnesota businesses who want to expand
their operations here. I have
been supportive of strong border enforcement and screening processes to make sure
we have balance between our
security and economic needs.
Foreign trade: Should the
Trans-Pacific Partnership
be ratified? Be specific in
your reasons.
I have significant concerns
about the TPP that I have expressed with the administration. It is not a free trade bill
but a managed trade bill. It
fails to fix some of the problems from NAFTA that put
our dairy producers at a disadvantage. I am skeptical that
this agreement can proceed
unless issues like this are addressed.
Briefly summarize your
personal background and
qualifications.
I grew up on a farm in
Baker and attended Minnesota State University Moorhead
before becoming a small
business owner and CPA in
Detroit Lakes. I served in the
Minnesota State Senate before I was elected to Congress
in 1990, and serve a primarily
rural and agricultural district
that spans more than 35,000
square miles of western Minnesota.

Gruenhagen Continued from page 9
Solution: The short-term reform that is needed to dramatically reduce this year’s premium increases is to pass legislation that establishes a state
re-insurance program for individuals with catastrophic
health care claims. The governor needs to call a special session to pass this legislation
and request a waiver from the
federal government to implement this program.
I have offered and co-authored numerous health-care
reform bills that would reduce
premiums and increase healthcare access, all of which have
been opposed by the DFL and
the governor.
We must repeal Obamacare
and MNsure if we want our
children and grandchildren to
have the same access to excellent health care that we have
experienced.
Jobs benefit: Should the
state mandate paid family
leave? If so, should all sizes
of employers have to comply, and how should a program be financed?
I do not believe the state
should mandate paid family
leave. Private companies are
reducing benefits and not offering new benefits in our
state because of excessive taxation and regulations imposed
by our state legislature and
state agencies. Republicans insisted on tax relief for small
businesses, farms, veterans
and an expanded childcare tax
credit for working families. It
passed the Minnesota Legislature with over 89 percent of
Republicans and Democrats in
support of the tax bill. Unfortunately, Gov. Dayton vetoed
the bill.
Minnesota is among the top
10 taxed states in the nation.
This increases the cost of all
goods and services. Excessive
taxes and unreasonable regulations are an expense for
Minnesota businesses resulting in lower wages and less
benefits for their employees.
Gov. Dayton’s proposed budget spent the entire $900 million surplus on growing government and increasing taxes.
We desperately need to reform Minnesota’s excessive
taxation and regulations in
order that our businesses can
grow and prosper and create
more private-sector jobs with
higher wages and more benefits.
Transportation: What will
it take to pass a comprehensive funding for roads,
bridges and transit? What
sources of revenue should be
raised for what specific programs? Or is current funding sufficient?
The Republicans and the
Democrats each came up with
a multi-billion dollar, 10-year
plan to fund transportation.
There were several key areas
of disagreement that eventually led to a compromise agreement to pass a bipartisan $700
million transportation and
bonding bill that emphasized
roads and bridges. The Republican plan did not have a gas
tax increase, but did redirect
current tax revenues connected to transportation and required those funds for roads
and bridges. Historically, all
transportation taxes were
mandated to go towards transportation; however, in the ’70s
that mandate was changed and
these funds were redirected to
other state government expenditures, creating a continual
shortage in transportation
funding.
The house passed this $700
million compromise bill on a
large bipartisan vote and sent
it over to the DFL Senate.
Unfortunately, as mentioned
above under the “budget question,” the DFL Senate broke
the agreement to pass the
transportation and bonding
agreement and added a last
minute southwest light rail
amendment in the final minutes of session. The House
had already adjourned and
hence the need for the governor to call a special session.
Keep in mind the current
light rail system needs approximately $55 million per year
in tax subsidy from the general fund to cover operating
losses. This also leaves less
money for rural roads and
bridges.
In addition, Minnesota's
prevailing wage law will artificially inflate the cost of constructing the $2 billion light
rail project. And can anyone
remember a multi billion-dollar government project that
came in under budget? I predict that the construction of
South West Light Rail will run
over budget by millions of
dollars and all state taxpayers
will be asked to pay the extra
cost.
Taxpayers also need to be
aware that every 25-30 years
light rail needs to be rebuilt
and there is no money set
aside, state or federal, to pay
the billions of tax dollars necessary for the re-construction
of the light rail system. The
fact is that all Minnesota taxpayers are paying towards the
metro light rail system.
I support bus transit, which
is flexible, and cost efficient
compared to the SWLR.
Finally, a gas tax increase is
a regressive tax, meaning it
raises the cost of all goods and
services and hurts the poor
and elderly on fixed incomes
the most. We need to reform
the current system making it
more cost efficient and consider a gas tax increase only as
a last resort. The governor
proposed a 24 percent increase
in the gas tax with no reforms.
The House voted on the governor’s gas tax increase and
not one DFL legislator voted
for it.
Elections: Do you support
moving the primary election
from August to June in an
effort to increase voter
turnout?
I am neutral on moving the
primaries and lean slightly
against it. I doubt that moving
the primary date will increase
voter turnout. I am sure that
moving the primary date to
June will give political parties
two more months of running
negative ads between candidates. I seriously doubt if the
majority of Minnesotans desire to see that change.
Briefly summarize your
personal background and
qualifications.
I was raised on a dairy farm
in rural Glencoe. I’m also a
veteran of the United States
Marine Corps. ‘m a small
business owner of Gruenhagen Insurance and Financial
Services and have 38 years of
experience in private business,
health insurance and financial
planning. I hold degrees as a
Chartered Financial Consultant and a Chartered Life Underwriter.
I participated in prison ministry for 13 years. I am also a
member of the Rotary Club
and the American Legion.
I was elected to the Glencoe-Silver Lake school board
for four terms, serving for 16
years. In 2010, I was elected
to serve in the Minnesota
House of Representatives. I
am running for my fourth
term.
These life experiences have
given me strong roots and
convictions in regards to the
value of our rural communities and farms. It has also provided me with the understand-
ing and experience to address
the critical issues facing our
state. Thank you for the honor
of being able to represent this
district for the past six years.
With your support I hope to
represent you again at the
Capitol and stand for those
principles that have made our
district, state and nation a
great place to live and work
and raise our children.
Any other comments.
I am honored to have received the following endorsements for this election: The
National Federation of Independent Business, Minnesota
Citizens Concerned for Life,
The National Rifle Association, Minnesota Farm Bureau,
Long-Term Care Providers,
and Minnesota Gun Owners. I
was recently honored to receive the lifetime title of
“Best Friend of the Taxpayer”
from The Minnesota Taxpayers League.
These endorsements demonstrate my commitment to support legislation that improves
the lives and economic opportunities for the people and
children of our rural district. I
will promote solutions that
work and oppose legislation
that damages people’s lives
and constitutional rights.

Landmarks Demolished
A pair of Cemstone buildings, formerly owned by Arlington
Concrete Products, were demolished on Tuesday, Nov. 1. The
buildings were located just west of the railroad tracks and east
of Jerry’s Home Quality Foods along First Avenue Northwest in
Arlington. Cemstone, according to city documents, has pur-

What is a fair and profitable farm rental agreement
Landlords, farmers and
agri-business professionals
should make plans to attend
one of the informative meetings being held across South
Central Minnesota throughout the fall. These free meetings are being provided by
the University of Minnesota
Extension.
Determining a fair and
profitable farm rent agreement is a challenge in today’s
current economic climate of
inflated input costs and low
commodity prices.
Negotiating a fair rental
agreement that satisfies the
land owner and the farmer is
a challenge. David Bau, Extension Educator in Ag Business Management and Jason
Ertl, local Ag Production Systems Extension Educator, will
provide several ways to approach this topic by examples, factsheets and worksheets to determine a fair
farm land rental rate for both
parties. Data collected from
the 2016-2017 Sibley County
Land Rent survey will also be
available. This survey was
circulated to county residents
earlier in the fall and can be
used to observe county and
township trends.
Topics covered at the meetings will include local historic and projected farmland
rental rate trends, current
farm land values and sales, a
worksheet that will help determine a fair and profitable
rental agreement. Input costs
for 2017 will be presented
along with current 2017 corn
and soybean prices. Worksheets will examine 2017
costs and what is affordable
rent that a farmer will be able
to pay in 2017, the rate of return to the landlord at current
market values and examine
flexible rental agreements.
Make plans to attend one of
these meetings now. Attendees will receive several informative worksheets and
factsheets that will help to determine what a fair 2017 farm
land rental rate is.
The meetings will be held
locally at:

City will conduct a survey
on columbarium at the
Arlington Public Cemetery
By Kurt Menk
Editor
The Arlington Cemetery
Commitee would like to determine the level of interest
in building a columbarium at
the Arlington Public Cemetery.
A columbarium is a structure specific for interment of
the cremated ashes of individuals much like a burial
plot is used to inter non-cremated remains.
There are still many questions to be answered and options to be evaluated, but the
committee would like to understand the level of interest
within the community.
A survey will be inserted
into this month’s city utility
newsletter. Churches will also
be asked to include a copy of
the survey in their bulletin in
an effort to reach the greater
Arlington area.
The purpose of the survey
is to educate the public on
what is a columbarium and to
gauge the level of interest
from the community on those
people who plan for a traditional burial and those people
who plan for a cremation.
People who have any questions can contact the Arlington City Office at 507-9642378.
The Cemetery Committee
includes City Administrator
Liza Donabauer, Maintenance Supervisor Tony Voigt,
City Council member Jennifer Nuesse, Dennis Van
Moorlehem, Lyle Rud, Lindsey Drexler, Wendy Weckworth, Laura Kloeckl and
Cory Danner.

Correspondent
Sibley County Auditor
Marilee Peterson provided
fund cash balance and budget
reports to the Sibley County
Board on Tuesday morning,
Oct. 25.
Peterson stated that the
general fund revenue is at 59
percent. Expenditures for the
general fund are at 90 percent
of the budget, but pointed out
that some accounts were
under and some were over.
Public Works revenue is at 65
percent, while expenditures
are at 50 percent. Revenue
for Public Health and Human
Services is at 66 percent of
the budget while expenditures are at 87 percent. Debt
service fund is at 23 percent
of the budgeted revenue and
94 percent of the expenditures. Finally, the capital im-
provement fund is at 579 percent of budgeted revenues
and 130 percent of expenditures because of a large
amount transferred to that
fund.
Peterson also wanted to address the deficit in the ditch
fund. Peterson stated that
there is a deficit because the
county has done work and
hasn’t billed for it yet. She
wanted to make it clear that
nothing has been done with
money landowners paid in.
Landowners have 20 years to
pay back work done on ditches. Peterson said that if you
look at billing versus deficit
it is actually a deficit of about
$500,000. Peterson said that
they are working on not
doing ditch repairs until there
is money in that ditch fund.

A’s Jim Stoll featured in new book, Talkin’ Baseball to be held at library Nov. 17
Jim Stoll helped lead Arlington to a place on the Minnesota amateur baseball map
in the 1960s. Recruited by
Eddie and Augie Mueller,
Stoll’s MVP award-winning
performances in the 1967 and
1969 Class B State Amateur
Baseball
Tournaments
brought the city its first two
state championships.
Stoll is a featured profile in
the newly released 375-page
book, The Best of River-Town
Small-Ball, by Doug Nachbar, a Jordan native. Stoll impressed this former Jordan
Brewer, as he did everyone
who played with and against
him, as well as those who admired his heady and gutty
performances from the grandstands.
Stoll’s pitching performance against the Minnesota
Gopher-laden and highly favored Prior Lake Jays in the
Class B championship game
at Jordan in 1969 is highlighted in his profile. It was “a
game for the ages,” played in
front of an overflow crowd
that pushed 3,000 fans in the
little, isolated park on the
banks of Sand Creek. This
easy read captures Stoll at his
candid best. Arlington’s favorite adopted son is quoted
throughout. The Stoll profile
begins with the team’s pregame steak dinner at the
backroom dining hall of
Geno’s Tap Room in downtown Jordan. Stoll overhears
a blowhard at the bar and
watches the betting action
going down -- against him
and the A’s.
The Stoll Story takes you
into the Prior Lake locker
room with Stoll to challenge
the Jays before the game,
“Hey! I’m Jim Stoll,” he introduced himself to the Prior
Lake team of ex-Gophers and
other outstanding Lake Conference athletes from Bloomington and Edina. “You college boys can’t hit a curve
ball. That’s all you’re gonna
see tonight.”
Then, with what long-time
Arlington A’s catcher Dave
Hartmann called “a Major
League curveball,” he went
out and did it, holding the talent-rich Prior Lake Jays to
just five hits, three of which
were infield bleeders, while
ringing up 11 strikeouts enroute to a 6-1 win and the
championship.
The last batter in the game,
former Gopher and St. Cloud
Rox first baseman, Gary
Reierson, is quoted nearly 50
years later, “I still can’t believe he threw me a changeup
on a 3-2 count with the bases
loaded.” Reierson just
missed, and his fly ball to
deep left field ended the
game.
Much of the rest of Jim
Stoll’s storied baseball career,
both professional and amateur, is recounted in his profile. If you don’t know the
Jim Stoll Story, this book is a
great place to learn it, along
with interesting sidebars and
profiles of other great and
colorful local ballplayers of
the Minnesota River Valley
from The Golden Age of
Baseball. If you do know the
whole story, the book rekindles those memories in an interesting read that gives you
goose bumps along much of
the way.
Written as part of a “memory exercise” for Nachbar’s
old friend, former catcher
Frank Hilgers, who has been
in the Memory Care Unit at
Belle Plaine’s Lutheran
Home, the author casts a wide
net of context that characterizes The Golden Age of Baseball, during which “Baseball
was life, and life was baseball.” Nachbar and Hilgers
saw just enough of Stoll and
Arlington to include him in
their cast of favorites - 12
players in all, but “honorable
mention” paid to many more.
Dave Hartmann will be
joined by other former Arlington ballplayers, including
John Wilkens, Larry Klunder,
Joe Driscell and Dan
O’Brien, and by author Doug
Nachbar as well as Gary
Reierson, cleanup hitting first
baseman from the 1969 Prior
Lake Jays. Stoll’s son, Tom
Stoll, will also be in attendance.
“Talkin’ Baseball” at the
Arlington Public Library
from 6 p.m. Thursday, Nov.
17. The topic will be Jim
Stoll, The best of River Town
Small-Ball and The Golden
Age of Baseball.

Motorists should watch for
deer in November, which is
the peak time for deer-vehicle
crashes in the state, according
to the Minnesota Department
of Transportation.
The main reason for the increase in vehicle crashes is
that the deer mating season
occurs in November. Increased deer movement coupled with a reduction in daylight hours increase drivers’
chances of encountering deer
on roadways.
Deer are more likely to be
encountered in areas where
habitat is close to the roadway, such as a bridge cross-

• Drive defensively and expect the unexpected. If you
see a deer near the road, slow
down because it might dart in
front of you. If you see one
deer, look for the next one.
Deer often travel together but
single file.
• Don’t swerve. While it
may seem like the right thing
to do, swerving to avoid a
deer could cause you to lose
control or travel into the path
of another vehicle. Striking a
deer is safer than colliding
with another vehicle or a tree.
Stay in your lane, brake firmly and hold onto the steering
wheel.

• Be vigilant at dusk and at

evening feeding areas.
• Slow down and scan the

Opinions
General Election is
next Tuesday, Nov. 8
Our View: Become informed and then
exercise your right to vote
Voters in the Arlington and Green Isle area, along with
people from across Minnesota and around the United
States, will go to the polls for the general election on
Tuesday, Nov. 8.
Although some people may take voting for granted, it is
a right, privilege and responsibility that all citizens in the
United States should exercise on election day. There are
many people in other parts of the world that do not have
this opportunity.
Voting in an election allows citizens to help elect candidates who they believe will best shape the community,
township, school district, county, state and country in
which they live.
It is very important for people to also realize that every
vote does count. There are countless stories about how
one vote has decided an election at a variety of levels over
the years. For example, Richard Nixon, not John
Kennedy, would have become the President of the United
States in 1960 if one person from each voting precinct had
voted differently.
Finally, citizens too many times vote for the popular
candidates regardless of their stance on issues or people
affiliated with a particular party. It is important that citizens become informed about the candidates and on the issues before they go to cast their vote at the polls. The Arlington Enterprise, in last week’s edition and this issue,
have featured a voter’s guide which highlights candidates
running for office at the local, township, school, county
and state levels. The hope is that all readers will take
some time to study the voter’s guide, look at paid advertisements/flyers and make an informed decision on Tuesday, Nov. 8.

Letters To The Editor
Political parties must work together
To The Editor,
The past four years of divided
government (House leadership one
party - Senate the other) has been
highly unproductive and frustrating
for the people of Minnesota. We had
high cash balances at the end of
each legislative session but were unable to come to agreement on significant issues such as major improvement of state highways, payment of
40 percent of our farmers’ bond pay-
ments on the new Sibley East
Schools (payment would be through
the state general fund) and tax cuts
for some of our residents. Plus
more.
Darrel Mosel who has farmed
north of Gaylord for almost 40 years
would be an outstanding addition to
the House of Representatives. He is
a fair, honest man who would work
well with other House members.
Years ago he served in the Minneso-
ta House.
At the end of each legislative session (2014 and 2016) we left many
important issues undone. We need a
House member with Mr. Mosel’s
stature -- someone who will give
and take, who listens well and pulls
out the wisdom from both sides to
piece together workable solutions.

Principal’s Notepad
Fire drills and lock down drills
By Steve Harter
SE Junior High Principal
One of the many requirements
that the state of Minnesota has
placed on public schools is the practicing of fire drills and “lock down
drills”. Each year we are required to
practice a minimum of five fire
drills and a minimum of five lock
down drills. Here at Sibley East
Junior High School we have started
working closely with the Gaylord
Police Department and the Gaylord
Fire Department to ensure that we
are not only doing the minimum
number of drills required by law but
to also make sure that we are using
the best possible practices. For example, during the last fire drill we
closed down a stairwell with a sign
that simply said “fire – go another
direction”. This made the students
think independently and quickly
move in a direction that is different
than usual. Another ongoing practice that we work on during the fire
drills is to make sure that the teachers know where their students are
once they have left the building and
are at the “off-campus” meeting
spots (either the Immanuel Lutheran
Church or the school’s bus garage
parking lot). Often we will hold a
student back from the rest of his/her
class to see if there is radio talk indicating that a child is missing. When
the student has been located the
radio conversation should indicate
where the missing student is located.
Similar improvements in the way
that we structure our lock-down
drills have happened because of the
interactions with the GPD. The way
that lock downs are signaled (one
long ring of the school bells in addition to an intercom all-call) has
changed because of the lack of
speakers in the hallways. We hope
that the students will come to recognize that the long bell means get to a
room as soon as possible. We usually have the lock down drills during
class times but we will probably
have at least one this year during a
class changing time period just so
that we can observe the student
movement and awareness.
Next year when we are in the new
buildings these conversations with
the local police and fire departments
will continue so that we can make
sure that our students and staff are
safe.

Living and dying in America
By Glenn Mollette
We are fortunate to live and die in
America. Billions of people have died
from starvation in third world countries. Millions have died in war torn
places and never knew a moment of
real peace during their lives. So many
live and die in harsh nations where
daily life is mere survival. We are
blessed to be born and to live out our
lives in America.
Often in life we ask ourselves,
"Why in the heck do I care about anything going on in the world?" Stuff
like Presidential elections, taxes, jobs,
border security and wars in the Middle East. The list of world junk is almost endless.
Last week we buried my little 53year-old niece. We watched her grow
up, marry, battle a life of diabetes and
eventually die from kidney failure and
cancer. I didn't write a column last
week because who really cares about
writing when you're standing in the
funeral home and at a graveside?
We buried my wife's father about a
year ago who died suddenly. The sudden death of such a good man and
friend was painful. I've stood at the
grave a lot of my life. My sons and I

buried my first wife who was their
mother. The pain and grief cut our
hearts out. A few years before that my
wife and I buried a little stillborn
baby that ripped us apart in grief.
Through the years I've stood at the
grave of both of my parents and officiated about 400 funerals for friends
and fellow church members.
In the middle of pain and grief we
don't really care about anything else.
Who can focus on the environment,
fossil fuels and worry about Social
Security when we are bleeding grief
and sorrow? I can't and I doubt that
most people, if anyone can.
We stand at the grave and we analyze our lives knowing that soon or
maybe in the next five, ten or at best
30 or so years our lives will be over
and our bodies will be six feet under
the dirt. Our hope is that we will be in
a much better place, removed from
our bodies and cared for by a loving
God. Thus, knowing that our lives are
so short what are we to do?
Keep living. Life is a gift. Don't fret
the small stuff. It's all really small
stuff. Try to love people and accept
people where they are and not where
you think they should be. Forgive

grudges. Make the most of every day.
Don't be timid about living life and
don't live your life based on what you

You may not believe in an afterlife.
What if there is an afterlife, meeting
God, eternity and all that stuff? Do
you really want to chance not trying
to be ready for something that will be
so much longer than this world?
Finally, we should try to leave this
world a better place. This brings us
back to Presidential elections, taking
care of our planet, jobs, border security, terrorism, equality and life around
us. Little people are following us.
Who we vote for and how we leave
this world is so important. We only
get a few years and there is some reason we are here. Make a contribution.

stay free and keep working to keep

people want to live and a country
where we can die knowing that we

great land.

Many persons are puzzled to
understand the term “four
penny,” “six penny” “ten
penny” mean, as applied to
nails. “Four penny” means four
pounds to a thousand nails and
“six penny” means six pounds
to the thousand and so on. It is
an English term, and meant at
first, “ten pound” nails, (the
thousand being understood) but
the English clipped it to “tenpuns” and from that it degenerated until “penny” was substituted for pound.
Tie a string about a yard long
to a common door key and take
the string in the right hand,
holding it so the key would clear

you can hold the string steady
enough the key will begin to
swing back and forth in a
straight line. Let another person
take your left hand in his and
the motion of the key will
change from the pendulum like
swing to a circular swing. If a
third person will place his hand
on the shoulder of the second
person the key will stop. Try it
and then explain if you can.

Jimmy Carter defeated Gerald Ford in the race for president
of the United States in the election held Tuesday according to
computer based predictions by
the three major television networks and the wire services. At
8:30 a.m. Wednesday, the popular vote was 51% for the CarterMondale ticket and 48% for the
Ford-Dole. The projection gave
Carter 272 electorial votes to
190 for Ford.

Dear Sibley East Community,
On Aug. 15, the Sibley East Board of Education adopted a resolution. The resolution
included the notice of this election. Within, it stated the school Board authorized the notice of
election, part of which reads. “The notice of election so posted and published shall state the
offices to be filled as set forth in the form of ballot below, and shall include information
concerning each established precinct and polling place.”
The notice of election was published in the Oct. 20th and 27th editions of the Arlington
Enterprise and Gaylord Hub in legal time. However, my concern and reason for publishing
this notice is: “The precincts and polling places and voting hours at those polling places for
this general election shall be the same as those for the state general election.” In my opinion, I
do not believe this was done according to the resolution and board approval. See M.S.
205A.07 Subd. 1
The Sibley East School District consists of three cities, and thirteen townships, ten in Sibley
County and three in Nicollet County. I would encourage anyone with questions regarding
their voting hours or precinct place of voting to go to the Sibley or Nicollet county courthouse. Or go to each respective counties’ website under the heading “Elections.”
The locations and voting hours are listed below:

SE cross country teams
run in the section meet
SE lands 5 players on MRC tennis team
By Kurt Menk
Editor
The Sibley East varsity
girls tennis team has landed
five players on the 2016 Minnesota River Conference All
Conference Girls Tennis
Team.
The all conference selections are seniors Alli Harter
and Ella Lundstrom; juniors
Lindsey Flieth and Faith
Young; and sophomore Emily
Tuchtenhagen.
Harter, a two-year captain,
played primarily number two
singles this season. She compiled a 4-2 mark in conference action and a 19-7 record
overall. It was her fourth all
conference selection.
“Alli had a lot of weapons
including a wicked serve,
good placement and power,
change of pace, soft hands at
the net, and good footwork,”
said Sibley East head coach
Rene Moriarty. “Alli has respect for her opponents and
showed sportsmanship at all
times.”
She is the daughter of
Steve and Audrey Harter,
Gaylord.
Lundstrom, a two-year captain, played primarily number
one singles this season. She
compiled a 4-2 mark in conference play and a 17-9
record overall. It was her
third all conference honor.
“Ella was a levelheaded
competitor, and had the ability to adjust her game to get
the edge on an opponent. She
was a hustler. Ella gave 100
percent when on the court.
She always showed exceptional sportsmanship and respected her opponents.”
She is the daughter of Mark
and Bekah Lundstrom, Arlington.
Young played primarily
number three singles this
year. She had a 5-1 mark in
conference action and a 19-4
record overall. It was her second all conference selection.
“Faith was a smart player
and used her consistency to
wait for openings on the
court,” said Moriarty. “She
was able to place the ball by
using a variety of shots and
keeps her opponents off balance. Faith got down to business on the court. She displayed good sportsmanship,
and respected each opponent.”
She is the daughter of
Brian and Judy Young, Gaylord.
Flieth played primarily
number one doubles this season. She compiled a 4-2 mark
in conference play and a 16-7
record overall. This was her
first all conference selection.
“Lindsey was a steady doubles player with the ability to
find openings on the court,
whether it was at the net, or a
pull the trigger down the line.
She had mental toughness,
and was a good communicator with whomever she had as
a partner. Lindsey was a team
player and accepted her role
in any position she was put
in. Lindsey showed respect
and sportsmanship to her op-
ponents every time she took
the court.
She is the daughter of
Doug and Amy Flieth, Gaylord.
Tuchtenhagen played primarily number one doubles
this season.
She had a 4-2 mark in conference action and a 5-6
record overall. This was her
first all conference honor.
“Emily was consistent with
her groundstrokes, and improved her confidence at the
net,” said Moriarty. “Her
serve was effective in setting
her partner up for putaways at
the net. Emily used her athletic ability, quickness, and
never quit attitude when she
was on the court. Emily respected the game, her opponents, and showed good
sportsmanship.”
She is the daughter of
Travis and Becky Tuchtenhagen, Arlington.
SE volleyball team falls to GSL in playoffs
By Kurt Menk
Editor
The visiting Sibley East
varsity girls volleyball team
was swept by Glencoe-Silver
Lake 3-0 in the opening
round of the Section 2AA,
North Sub-Section playoffs
on Thursday night, Oct. 27.
The Lady Wolverines lost
the three games 25-18, 25-20
and 25-22 respectively.
“I was very happy with the
way we served (93.5 percent),
received serve, and competed
all night,” said Sibley East
head coach Chip Wolverton.
“There were little things that
we worked on improving that
I saw us put into play. What
GSL did a good job of was
getting side outs which pre-
vented us from stringing
points together in the first
two sets. I really thought we
were over the hump in the
third set when we came back
from a 13-9 deficit to take a
15-13 lead, which we grew to
17-14 on the next server. But
the next series of points, in
which we made three hitting
errors at the end of some long
rallies kind of summed up the
night. When we put the ball
in play, they had a hard time
scoring points. But they play
such good defense, it’s hard
to get kills, and eventually we
would make some mistakes.”
Senior Hannah Wentzlaff
converted 12 of 13 serves
with two aces and contributed
10 kills, six digs and two
blocks. Junior Taylor Brinkman collected 14 of 15
serves, 15 set assists, four
kills, three digs and two
blocks. Junior Morgan
Stearns recorded 19 set assists, six kills, three digs and
one block while sophomore
Rachel Rettmann had 11 of
11 serves, nine digs, six kills
and three blocks. Senior
Emma Samletzka contributed
eight kills, two digs and one
block while junior Taylor
Perschau added seven of
seven serves and 13 digs.
“Overall, after an up and
down season, I thought we
were playing our best volleyball at the end which is what
you want,” said Wolverton.
“We just ran into some really
stiff competition that played a
little better down the stretch.
I was very happy with the
leadership we got from our
seniors, Hannah and Emma,
and the fact that they both
played really well in their last
high school match. I’m looking forward to next year. We
have a nice blend of sophomores and juniors going forward that will use the experience gained this season,
along with some hard work in
the off season, to take some
big steps forward next year.”
The Lady Wolverines conclude the season with a 1-5 in
the Minnesota River Conference and a 12-18 record overall.

By Kurt Menk

Jackson County Central 4214 in the playoffs on Saturday afternoon, Oct. 29.
“In some ways Jackson
County Central is better than
they were last year when they
lost in the finals,” said Sibley
East head coach Chuck Hartman. “They have more ways
to hurt you on offense and I
think play better on defense.”

loss.

14 carries for 81 yards while
senior Brody Bates had 13 attempts for 52 yards and one
touchdown. Senior Seth

two carries while junior
Gavin Bates and junior Jesus
Rodriguez added 13 and 10
yards respectively.
Gavin Bates, who suffered
three interceptions, complet-
ed three of 12 passing attempts for 75 yards and one
touchdown.
Senior Scott Holmquist
caught one pass for 48 yards
and one touchdown while
junior Jacob Willmsen and
senior Leighton Rose added
one catch apiece for 14 and
13 yards respectively.
Brody Bates sparked the
Sibley East defense with 11
tackles and one quarterback
sack. Gavin Bates and juniors
Jaden Podratz and Lucas
Chavez recorded eight tackles
each while senior Tanner
Kurtzweg and freshman Lincoln Carpenter compiled
seven tackles apiece. Senior
Cody Voight had four tackles
and a quarterback sack.
Holmquist and junior Holden
Lindquist added one interception each.
The Wolverines conclude
the season with a 4-6 record
overall.

increase or decrease.
First, we need to re-pass
the tax relief bill from last
session, with additional tax
relief if possible.
All voting citizens need to
understand the economic
principle that lower taxes and
reasonable regulations on
businesses result in more tax
revenues. Excessive taxes
and unreasonable regulations
can actually retard the growth
of Minnesota’s economy, resulting in lower tax revenues.
Both presidents Kennedy and
Reagan proved this economic
fact.
This is why a gas tax increase proposed by the governor would be detrimental to
our economy. In April 2015,
the Dayton administration’s
Minnesota Management and
Budget office issued a quarterly report which stated that
a dramatic reduction in the
gas price had been equivalent
to a $2 billion tax cut “with
an average savings of $900
per household.” This resulted
in a boost to our state’s economy and was a primary contributor to our $2 billion surplus.
We also need to reform
Minnesota’s prevailing wage
law, which is one of the four
highest in the nation, according to the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce. This law
artificially inflates the cost to
build and repair schools,
roads, bridges, and city and
county projects. This has a
dramatic effect on higher
taxes especially local and
farm property taxes.
To illustrate, according to a
former county commissioner,
a county construction project
in our district cost $2.5 million with prevailing wage. If
built without prevailing
wage, it would have cost $1.7
million, an $800,000 savings
to the taxpayer on this project
alone. Multiply that across
the state and it cost taxpayers
$10’s of millions in higher
costs per year, much of it
levied on local property
taxes. The majority of DFL
legislators and the Governor
oppose any and all reforms to
lower the prevailing wage,
especially hurting the citizens
of rural Minnesota. Lowering
Minnesota’s prevailing wage
would free up millions of existing tax dollars for other
necessary construction projects such as schools, roads
and bridges, without raising
taxes.
Education,
K-12:
Statewide implementation
of teacher evaluations
began in 2014. Do you support legislation that would
require districts to consider
performance as well as seniority when deciding
teacher layoffs?
I voted for statewide implementation of teacher evaluations. In the majority of private sector jobs, seniority
plus performance is usually
considered when deciding on
layoffs. The Minnesota
Chamber of Commerce and
many other business organizations support this change as
a necessary reform to place
the best teachers in the classroom.
However, I believe the primary problem in public education is the micro-management of the teacher in the
classroom by the Minnesota
Department of Education and
the U.S. Department of Education. These two agencies
have pushed unproven educational experiments onto our
public schools in spite of op-
position from many local
school boards, parents and
many public-school teachers.
The following are just a
few examples: Outcome
Based Education, Goals
2000, the Profile of Learning
and the latest educational
boondoggle, Common Core.
These unproven educational
experiments try to micromanage the teacher in the
classroom on how they present academics to our children.
These experiments have
wasted billions of tax dollars
and have damaged academic
results for students.
Case in point: In 2014, it
was reported that in Minneapolis inner-city public
schools, only 23 percent of
10th grade minority students
can read up to their grade
level, despite receiving almost twice as much funding
as our rural school districts.
These experimental educational techniques are directly
affecting students’ academic
performance. The governor
and DFL legislators’ only solution is to spend millions
more on the same failed system with little if any reforms.
Cristo Rey private school
takes the same minority students from the inner city and
for a little more than half the
cost of public schools graduates the majority of their students ready to enter college.
Something is desperately
wrong in our inner city public
school system and it is dooming thousands of students to a
life of poverty and low-income jobs. Unfortunately, the
DFL legislators and the governor oppose vouchers and
school choice, caring more
about political contributions
from special interests than
creating a brighter future for
these minority children.
Every study on school choice
except one proves that when
competition is introduced into
the educational system, academic performance for students in all schools increases,
without spending millions of
more tax dollars. We must reform this failed system. This
is the primary education reform that needs to happen in
Minnesota. It will also allow
us to equalize funding across
the state of Minnesota for
public schools and increase
funding for rural school districts without higher property
taxes.
Health care: MNsure, the
state’s health care exchange, has come under
heavy criticism since its creation. Is it serving its purpose? Do you advocate any
changes, or should it remain as is?
MNsure is a health-care Titanic that has hit the iceberg
and there is no way to salvage or fix the many problems it has. Tom Forsyth, a
MNsure board member,
wrote an article in March
2015 where he asked the
question, “What is the definition of ‘Madness’?” According to Forsyth, the answer is
to continue to spend tax
money on a failed system,
namely MNsure. He is right;
this is madness.
We have spent almost $400
million on MNsure and for
this we have gotten skyrocketing deductibles and premiums! MNsure claims to have
reduced Minnesota’s uninsured rate to 4½ percent;
however, prior to MNsure,
Minnesota’s uninsured rate
was approximately 9 percent.
Six percent of that 9 percent
were eligible for a government health-care program but
had not signed up. If we
would’ve simply reformed
the system in a way that required the 6 percent to sign
up for a government health
program, our uninsured rate
would be at 3 percent or less
without having spent over
$400 million on the MNsure
disaster.
Remember, Minnesota had
a plan to help uninsurable individuals prior to Obamacare
and MNsure. That program,
the Minnesota Comprehensive Health Association program, was also financially
solvent. All that was needed
was a few minor reforms to
dramatically reduce the number of Minnesota’s uninsured.
Top priority: If elected,
what is your top priority for
the 2016 Legislature? Why
are you running for office?
Top priority is to bring a
more reasonable voice to the
legislature. Our current representative is too extremely
partisan. It is important to
find some common ground in
order to make progress for
our district.
Gridlock: The 2016 Legislature adjourned without
addressing key items –
taxes, transportation and
bonding bills. As of this
writing, leadership could
not agree on an agenda for
a special session. Partisan
gridlock is a recurring
theme. What specific measures do you support to increase the transparency and
reduce the gridlock of the
lawmaking process?
I would like to have the
committee structure more
open to public input. Also
have the major bills finished
earlier in the session. But,
more importantly, we need a
representative who will work
to find common ground and
not adhere to such extreme
positions.
Budget: The tax-andspend debate is at the core
of setting the state budget.
What is your formula in
terms of tax and spending
policies to strengthen the
state’s economy? Be specific
in which personal and/or
business taxes you would
increase or decrease.
I favor a progressive income tax system as the fairest
way to fund the states responsibilities.
I feel the property tax is too
regressive of a tax, and needs
to be reformed. I think the
gas tax is the fairest way to
fund transportation.
Education,

performance as well as seniority when deciding
teacher layoffs?
I value experience in a
person’s occupation. I would
prefer the use of length of
service as the main criteria in
considering layoffs and use
1 col. x 5 Iinches
Top priority: If elected,
what is your top priority for
the 2016 Legislature? Why
are you running for office?
I have a strong desire and
commitment to support legislation that improves the lives
and economic opportunities
for the people and children of
our rural district. My top priorities include the following:
• Provide funding to upgrade our roads and bridges,
especially completing Highway 212 to four lanes.
• Provide property tax relief for small businesses,
farms and citizens, including
an expanded childcare tax
credit for working families.
• Repeal MNsure (which
has wasted over $400 million) and pass health-care reform that will decrease premiums and increase access
for patients.
•Provide equal funding for
rural school districts.
• Oppose DFL efforts to
force unionization of childcare providers, which would
take tax subsidies that benefit
low income families to pay
union dues to union bosses
thereby increasing the cost of
day care and reducing the
number of day care providers
for low income families.
Gridlock: The 2016 Legislature adjourned without
addressing key items –
taxes, transportation and
bonding bills. As of this
writing, leadership could
not agree on an agenda for
a special session. Partisan
gridlock is a recurring
theme. What specific measures do you support to increase the transparency and
reduce the gridlock of the
lawmaking process?
Gridlock in this past legislative session occurred primarily because the metro
Senate Democrats, supported
by the governor, broke their
agreement with House Republicans by adding a lastminute amendment to fund
the Southwest Light Rail. The
Southwest Light Rail funding
bill had never even received a
committee or floor vote in the
House or the Senate during
the session. It was simply
added by the metro Senate
Democrats to create gridlock
in the last few minutes of session.
Following this breached
agreement, the governor refused to call a special session
unless the Republicans
agreed to provide funding for
the light rail project. Eventually, the governor and DFL
resolved the funding for
Southwest light rail outside
of the Legislature, but even
then the governor came up
with additional requirements
and refused to call a special
session to pass the transportation and tax bills which had
overwhelming bipartisan support. It seems these metro
Senate Democrats intentionally created the gridlock in an
attempt to influence the upcoming elections. My hope is
that the voters will send a
message to the radical metro
Democrats and the governor
that this type of behavior is
unacceptable by elected representatives.
In regards to the tax bill,
the governor stated that if we
passed his supplemental
spending bill of approximately $160 million he would sign
the tax relief bill. We upheld
our end of the agreement and
passed the supplemental
spending bill, but the governor vetoed the tax relief bill,
claiming that it needed a
minor word change, which
could’ve been corrected administratively without a special session. The governor
needs to sign legislation that
has strong bipartisan support
from the House and Senate.
Minnesotans expect compromise legislation that benefits
all citizens and the governor
needs to cooperate instead of
looking for ways to create
gridlock.
Budget: The tax-andspend debate is at the core
of setting the state budget.
What is your formula in
terms of tax and spending
policies to strengthen the
state’s economy? Be specific
in which personal and/or
business taxes you would
Darrel Mosel
performance as a secondary
consideration.
Health care: MNsure, the
state’s health care exchange, has come under
heavy criticism since its creation. Is it serving its purpose? Do you advocate any
changes, or should it remain as is?
There are many parts of
MNsure that are working satisfactory. I have called the
governor to call a special session to deal with the shortcomings. Currently, there are
very serious problems with
the individual insurance coverage and costs. These problems should be dealt with immediately!
Jobs benefit: Should the
state mandate paid family
leave? If so, should all sizes
of employers have to comply, and how should a program be financed?
Yes, it could be provided
by larger employers who
would have more flexibility
to adjust their employee
schedules. I would favor a
state matching program.
Transportation: What
will it take pass a comprehensive funding for roads,
bridges and transit? What
sources of revenue should
be raised for what specific
programs? Or is current
funding sufficient?
It will take a willingness to
find common ground and recognize the differences that
each region of the state has in
terms of transportation need.
I think the gas tax is the most
fair and most sustainable
method of transportation
funding. Currently, our representation is to opposed to the
needs of other parts of the
state, as a result we have political gridlock which causes
our area to have our transportation needs to not be met.
Elections: Do you support
moving the primary election from August to June in
an effort to increase voter
turnout?
I would support moving the
primary from August to June.
Other issues.
Public safety, tax reform
and environmental quality.

Minnesota Senate, District 18
Amy Wilde, Democrat
Scott Newman, Republican
Top priority: If elected,
what is your top priority for
the 2016 Legislature? Why
are you running for office?
Top priorities: fix the
health-care crisis and address
transportation funding.
Why am I running: I have
the time. Unfortunately for
Minnesota, many good young
legislators cannot serve because they need to support
their families. I am a fiscal
conservative and believe that
political philosophy fits well
with the people of this district. I have the personal passion to serve my constituents
and protect our democracy.
Gridlock: The 2016 Legislature adjourned without
addressing key items –
taxes, transportation and
bonding bills. As of this
writing, leadership could
not agree on an agenda for
a special session. Partisan
gridlock is a recurring
theme. What specific measures do you support to increase the transparency and
reduce the gridlock of the
lawmaking process?
Require meaningful public
committee hearings on all important issues. This takes
time but it does provide transparency, gives voters the opportunity to be involved in
the process and influence the
decisions of their elected officials.
Budget: The tax-andspend debate is at the core
of setting the state budget.
What is your formula in
terms of tax and spending
policies to strengthen the
state’s economy? Be specific
in which personal and/or
business taxes you would
increase or decrease.
Reform the burdensome
regulatory scheme in Minnesota. Remember for every
new regulation adopted by
state agencies, a state employee must be paid to administer it at an enormous
cost to taxpayers. Require a
cost-benefit analysis and audits on all spending by state
agencies and block grants to
nonprofits. By doing so, I believe the waste would become glaringly clear and we
would avoid theft and abuse
like we saw in the Community Action of Minneapolis
nonprofit case. I would reduce or repeal the corporate
income tax, statewide business property tax, the tax on
Social Security and veterans’
pensions. I subscribe to the
economic theory that overtaxation slows the economy
down while tax relief increases economic activity which in
turn actually leads to increased revenue for the state.
Education,
K-12:
Statewide implementation
of teacher evaluations
began in 2014. Do you support legislation that would
Scott Newman
require districts to consider
performance as well as seniority when deciding
teacher layoffs?
Yes. Both tenure and job
performance are reasonable
criteria to use in determining
which teachers should remain
in the classroom.
Health care: MNsure, the
state’s health care exchange, has come under
heavy criticism since its creation. Is it serving its purpose? Do you advocate any
changes, or should it remain as is?
Health insurance is most
important issue in the next
session. Rising costs have
now put health insurance out
of reach for many. MNsure is
the culprit. Not a single Republican voted for it while
Dayton and the DFL Senate
refuse to admit it’s a problem.
Every suggestion, idea and
amendment by the GOP has
been rejected out of hand by
Dayton and the majority in
the Senate. Tax deductions
and credits on health premiums, HSA accounts, seek a
federal waiver, allow involvement by insurance agents in
MNsure, allow the purchase
of health insurance approved
in other states, allow the private market involvement and
allow the creation of new
groups to offer insurance to
their members. These ideas
and more have all been rejected by those who created
this crises. Resolution of
health-care costs will be up to
the voters by sending legislators to St Paul who will fix it.
Jobs benefit: Should the
state mandate paid family
leave? If so, should all sizes
of employers have to comply, and how should a program be financed?
I do not support a mandate
by the state for paid family
leave, especially as written in
last year’s bill. It would have
been a substantial tax increase on all working families and businesses while
only benefiting very few.
Meanwhile, it would have
created a new online adminis-
tration system similar to MNsure and required a massive
new state bureaucracy with
over a hundred new state employees.
Transportation: What
will it take to pass a comprehensive funding for
roads, bridges and transit?
What sources of revenue
should be raised for what
specific programs? Or is
current funding sufficient?
Southwest Light Rail
(SWLR) from Minneapolis to
Eden Prairie at $100 million
per mile is the keystone. Resolve it and money for transportation will follow. Hearings to determine the cost of
maintenance, operation, ridership, future subsidies and
possible alternatives to
SWLR is the solution. As the
new chairman or existing minority lead on the Senate
Transportation Committee, I
will insist we hold those hearings.
Elections: Do you support
moving the primary election from August to June in
an effort to increase voter
turnout?
Yes. Generally, incumbents
do not favor a June primary
because their opponents are
at home campaigning while
they are working in St Paul.
Nevertheless, a June primary
would likely increase voter
turnout, reduce wasteful
spending that occurs in a long
primary season and allows
candidates and voters alike to
begin concentrating on the
general election.

Top priority: If elected,
what is your top priority for
the 2016 Legislature? Why
are you running for office?
Sustainability. Minnesotans
need sustainable funding for
transportation, public education, local government functions, public safety and public
health. Our Legislature has
not dealt responsibly with
several of these issues. Revenues should not rely on cost
shifting, gimmicks or occasional surpluses. Stagnant
formulas and tax policies
need updating.
Gridlock: The 2016 Legislature adjourned without
addressing key items –
taxes, transportation and
bonding bills. As of this
writing, leadership could
not agree on an agenda for
a special session. Partisan
gridlock is a recurring
theme. What specific measures do you support to increase the transparency and
reduce the gridlock of the
lawmaking process?
Tough decisions should not
be put off until the last week.
The House withheld its 2016
bonding proposal until six
days before the session
ended. Drafting errors, gridlock and scant time for hearings resulted. Bipartisan
property tax relief for farmers
was lost to the chaos; unless
more people with rural backgrounds like me are elected,
it may not be proposed again.
Bonding proposals should
have deadlines like bills do.
Budget: The tax-andspend debate is at the core
of setting the state budget.
What is your formula in
terms of tax and spending
policies to strengthen the
state’s economy? Be specific
in which personal and/or
business taxes you would
increase or decrease.
Past legislatures played
games with a “balanced
budget” by cost shifting to
property taxes. Corporate
loopholes create perverse incentives for firms to do things
like invest overseas. I would
reform and simplify Minnesota’s corporate tax. I oppose income tax increases on
families making less than
$100,000 per year. I do not
oppose cities using an extra
sales tax for capitol projects
such as libraries and transit if
that is what locals decide to
do.
I oppose the past legislative
practice of borrowing from
public schools in order to balance the state budget.
K-12:
Education,
Statewide implementation
of teacher evaluations
began in 2014. Do you support legislation that would
require districts to consider
performance as well as seniority when deciding
teacher layoffs?
I do not oppose “performance” as one criteria in
teacher evaluation, but teachers of remedial or special education students should not
be judged on the performance
of students of lesser ability.
Health care: MNsure, the
state’s health care exchange, has come under
heavy criticism since its creation. Is it serving its purpose? Do you advocate any
changes, or should it re-
Amy Wilde
main
as is?
The MNsure exchange
should be more user friendly.
However, thousands more
people now have health coverage, so that is good. The
real culprits behind skyrocketing medical costs are drug
costs, health insurance executive pay, over-use of procedures caused by fear of malpractice suits or patient pressure and a greedy corporate
medicine culture. An option
like “basic Medicare” for
MNsure enrollees could make
insurance companies more
transparent and competitive.
At PrimeWest Health, we saw
rural Medicaid reimbursements rise, duplicative costs
decline and health outcomes
improve. The same could be
done with a public option on
the MNsure exchange, but
congressional action or a
waiver is needed. Public drug
advertising should be restricted, as it is in most other nations.
Jobs benefit: Should the
state mandate paid family
leave? If so, should all sizes
of employers have to comply, and how should a program be financed?
I would need to study the
impact of mandated paid
family leave before making a
decision. It could be a good
benefit for long-term employees.
Transportation: What
will it take to pass a comprehensive funding for
roads, bridges and transit?
What sources of revenue
should be raised for what
specific programs? Or is
current funding sufficient?
It will take bipartisan cooperation to pass a comprehensive transportation bill. Legislators need to stop playing
“gotcha” games designed to
make the other party look
bad, and develop solutions
that will resolve project backlogs across the state. Instead
of arguing over who needs a
larger piece of pie, it is time
to make the pie larger by
dealing with inflation in road
construction and maintenance
costs and materials. Possible
sources of revenue include
slightly higher fees for license tabs, or sales taxes on
electric car batteries or gasoline that are dedicated to
roads and bridges. Those user
fees remain low compared to
the cost of maintenance, and
should perhaps be tied to inflation rather than subjected
to legislative gamesmanship.
Every branch of government
(state, county, township,
cities) needs additional revenue to repair their transportation infrastructure. Public transit is a genuine need in
both rural and metro communities, and has different funding sources. Local communities should decide which
form of transit (buses, vans,
rail, etc.) is best for their
community, using the resources available to them.
Elections: Do you support
moving the primary election from August to June in
an effort to increase voter
turnout?
I have mixed feelings about
moving the primary date.
June might or might not be
more convenient and it would
lengthen the campaign season. I support the earlier presidential primary but would
like to hear opinions of constituents, not just party professionals, on state elections.
Other issues: Are there
other issues you want to address?
Rural economic development, including expanding
access to high-speed Internet
to all District 18 residents.
As a former Birthright volunteer, I am pro-life, desiring
alternatives to abortion and
care before and after birth.
Briefly summarize your
personal background and
qualifications.
I served on the Meeker
County Board from 19972010. During most of that period, I was an officer on the
Meeker-McLeod-Sibley
Community Health Board, including being chair for three
years. I was a co-founder of
PrimeWest Health, which
provides medical coverage
for low-income residents of
McLeod, Meeker and
Renville counties, and served
on my county hospital board
for eight years, giving me a
strong background in rural
health-care delivery. Prior to
being a commissioner, and
since leaving the county
board, I worked as a journalist for three District 18 newspapers, primarily covering
school boards, city councils,
agriculture and local business. Prior to that, I did administrative support in a special education office. This has
provided a strong network of
contacts for important issues.
We have lived in District
18 since 1972; our four adult
children attended public
schools and all graduated
from college. We have six
grandchildren. My husband
and I have operated small
businesses in Dassel and
were Dassel Area Chamber of
Commerce officers. We also
did part-time farming on
acreage in Collinwood Township. We currently reside in
Dassel Township and remain
active on our church board
and community activities. I
currently serve as treasurer
on the Minnesota River Area
Agency on Aging Board, am
on the Pioneerland Regional
Library Board, and am a volunteer driver.
To date, my candidacy has
been endorsed by Education
Minnesota, Minnesota Nurses
Association, Teamsters Drive,
Minnesota Farmers Union
PAC, and District 18 DFL.

U.S Congressional District 7
Dave Hughes, Republican
Collin Peterson, Democrat
Top priority: If elected,
what is your top priority for
the 2017 Congress? Why
are you running for office?
I want to dramatically reduce the size and scope of the
federal government, including
much lower spending and
much lower taxes, in order to
increase the individual liberty
and prosperity of all Americans. I’m running for Congress because I believe our
nation has been heading in
the wrong direction for
decades, and I believe I have
the vision, integrity, and commitment to lead us in a new
direction – on that is much
freer, more prosperous, and
more secure.
Foreign affairs: Is the
United States tough enough
in its foreign policy with regard to its response to terrorism? Are additional
measures warranted? Be
specific.
The Obama administration
has not been tough enough.
Military force must be overwhelming in order to achieve
victory quickly and decisively, so we can end hostilities.
Our efforts thus far have been
piecemeal and ineffective.
Any comprehensive global
war on terrorism must include
the propaganda piece; one
cannot conduct this propaganda effort if the administration
is unwilling to name the
enemy, but instead works to
obfuscate the issue.
Health care: Health-care
costs have increased under
the Affordable Care Act,
and it remains unpopular
with many Americans.
Would you vote to abolish
the Act? Barring that, are
there specific reforms you
would support?
I will vote to completely repeal Obamacare and implement in its place free-market
reforms that include portability, national marketplace, tort
reform, and full tax deductibility for individuals.
Several current members of
Congress and others have
many good proposals already.
Education: What role
should the federal government play in ensuring that
U.S. graduates can compete
in the global economy? Are
there specific measures that
you advocate?
Education is so very important that the best thing the
federal government can do in
this regard is abolish the U.S.
Department of Education.
Parents, state and local governments, and other associations, know much better how
to teach their students than
does the federal government.
Energy: Do you support
current restrictions on domestic oil and natural gas
production, or would you
like to see them reduced or
increased?
I oppose most of the current restrictions on domestic
oil and natural gas production. With a firm commitment
to environmental stewardship,
I will strive to promote the
full and rapid expansion of
development of all sources of
energy in our nation. With an
equally firm commitment to
the free market, I oppose federal subsidization of these efforts. Remove the hindrances
and let American innovation
thrive!
Debt: Federal entitlements are the main drivers
of rising U.S. debt. What
specific steps can be taken
to keep programs such as
Social Security, Medicare
and Medicaid solvent and
still serve those individuals
in need?
Congress has delayed
much-needed reform for far
too long. Social Security and
Medicare/Medicaid are facing
certain, looming demographic
train wrecks. In the short
David Hughes
term, Social Security can be
reformed by modestly raising
the eligibility age that reflects
increasing life expectancy. I
reject any idea of dramatically increasing the OASDI contribution and benefit base currently set at $118,500 per
year in individual earnings.
Doing so would amount to
the same old, unfair, counterproductive, “sock it to the
rich” approach. We must start
work immediately on a sensible, long-term, time-phased
fix to Social Security that gets
us to a completely different
model, keeping in mind that
any reform would not affect
current recipients. We should
look to the examples of
Galveston County, Texas, and
the country of Chile for best
practices as we consider moving these programs from the
federal government to the
states. Medicare experiences
$100 billion in fraud year in
and year out. I rarely hear any
elected official in Washington, D.C., get too excited
about this continual outrage,
and I see even less being
done to remedy it. A good
start to reforming Medicare
would be to solve this menace
immediately.
Transportation: What
role should the federal government play in funding
state and local transportation infrastructure? Be specific.
I think the federal government should get completely
out of the business of funding
any state or local transportation infrastructure, especially
light rail. Instead of American
taxpayers sending their hardearned income to Washington, D.C., so D.C. can turn
around and send us back a little, we should keep that income back home where we
know best how to spend it on
infrastructure.
Economy: What steps do
you support to stimulate the
growth of jobs?
One, immediately abolish
most of the red tape and other
hindrances preventing full,
rapid, vigorous development
of all our sources of energy,
including clean coal and nuclear. Two, immediately abolish the federal corporate income tax. This would make
the U.S. much more competitive in the global market, and
would attract companies to
bring their global headquarters and operations here.
Three, throw out entirely our
current federal tax code, and
replace it with a much simpler, much fairer, more productive national sales tax like
the FairTax. Four, repeal regulations and statutes that
drive up prices and otherwise
hurt us, such as CAFE standards (Corporate Average
Fuel Economy), the Jones
Act, the Davis-Bacon Act,
and unwarranted provisions
in the Dodd-Frank Act. Five,
completely repeal the jobkilling Obamacare.
Agriculture: agricultural
leaders fear that the U.S.
Environmental Protection
Agency will use perceived
authority under the Clean
Water Act provision Waters
of the United States to invoke practices and requirements on private farm land,
which could alter future
crop production practices
and livestock grazing. Do
you support the provision?
Why or why not?
I totally oppose the EPA’s
overreach with its Waters of
the United States (WOTUS)
rule. Congress should withhold all funding to implement
WOTUS, rescind the rule itself, and immediately re-write
the Clean Water Act, the
Clean Air Act, and others to
prevent the EPA and other executive agencies from similarly running amok in the future.
Immigration: Do America’s immigration laws need
to be changed? What should
be the tenets of any immigration reform legislation?
First of all, our current laws
need to be fully enforced by
whoever is president. Second,
Congress must exercise more
vigorous oversight, ready and
willing to act in a meaningful
way when the executive
branch fails to enforce federal
statute according to the both
the spirit and letter of the law.
Third, our immigration laws
must be rational – rooted in
the self-interest of America,
designed to benefit the American people, not based on
self-destructive notions of
compassion that ignore our
safety and self-interest. Our
current annual levels of legal
immigration should be greatly
reduced in order to foster a
period of assimilation that has
been absent for some time.
Foreign trade: Should the
Trans-Pacific Partnership
be ratified? Be specific in
your reasons.
Trans-Pacific Partnership
should not be ratified in its
current form until the next
president enters office and
has had a chance to review it
and improve it. I generally
favor TPP, but need to learn
more about the dispute resolution provisions, and would
want to speak with experts on
both sides before I cast my
vote.
Other issues: Are there
other issues you want to address?
I’m a strong defender of
our Second Amendment
rights, and will oppose any
effort to infringe on those
rights.
I’m unashamedly pro-life.
I support a constitutional
amendment to end abortion.
I’m an ardent supporter of
our First Amendment rights,
and will oppose any effort to
infringe on our individual religious liberties.
I want to pass a constitutional amendment to term
limit members of Congress.
I want to pass a Balanced
Budget constitutional amendment.
Briefly summarize your
personal background and
qualifications.
I served on active duty in
the U.S. Air Force for 21
years as an officer, aviator,
and combat veteran, deploying seven times to the combat
zone. My wife Amanda and I
are blessed with seven children, ranging in age from 12
years to 1. I’m a lifelong
Constitutional Conservative
Republican in the mold of
James Madison, Calvin
Coolidge and Ronald Reagan.
Career politicians have made
a huge mess of our great nation. Well, I’m not a politician; this is my first time running for elective office, and I
believe I have the vision, integrity, and commitment to
serve the people of western
Minnesota better than my opponent.
Top priority: If elected,
what is your top priority for
the 2017 Congress? Why
are you running for office?
What’s most important to
me is continuing to be an independent voice on the issues
for Minnesota’s Seventh District in Washington, D.C. I
represent my district and I’m
proud to serve as the top Democrat on the House Agriculture Committee. Legislatively, my top priority for 2017 is
to reauthorize the Farm Bill.
There is a lot of stress in farm
country with low commodity
prices. I am pushing for the
early consideration of this bill
in Congress because we face
a number of significant challenges in getting this bill
completed.
In addition to the Farm
Bill, I will also work on providing flood protection to residents and make sure that
rural interests are represented
when important issues like
energy or health care are
being debated.
Foreign affairs: Is the
United States tough enough
in its foreign policy with regard to its response to terrorism? Are additional
measures warranted? Be
specific.
One of the biggest challenges we face in confronting
terrorism is the need to be
right 100 percent of the time.
We have done a better job of
information sharing with domestic agencies but need to
do a better job working with
our allies to identify and stop
terrorists. Next, I support
stronger sanctions against
Iran which is a state sponsor
of terrorism. Lastly, I believe
we need to do a better job of
vetting people who come to
this county and have voted to
do just that.
Health care: Health care
costs have increased under
the Affordable Care Act,
and it remains unpopular
with many Americans.
Would you vote to abolish
the Act? Barring that, are
there specific reforms you
would support?
The health-care law has
been a big problem and that is
why I voted against its passage in 2010. We continue to
see issues with our healthcare system go unaddressed
because of the stalemate between Republicans who remain focused on repealing the
entire bill and the president,
who will never allow that to
happen. I have voted on numerous occasions to reform
our system, including delaying the individual mandate,
providing additional flexibilities in implementing the law,
and voting to stop the law
from unfairly taxing people’s
health benefits.
I believe that people should
move on and find an area of
common ground to fix the
law on a bipartisan basis,
while keeping the protections
for people with pre-existing
conditions.
Addressing the issue of
skyrocketing drug prices
could be a good place to start.
Education: What role
should the federal government play in ensuring that
U.S. graduates can compete
in the global economy? Are
there specific measures that
you advocate?
While the federal government should continue to provide resources for students, I
have been supportive of returning more control of the
decisions about how to educate children to parents and
local officials. I also think
that more can be done to
Collin Peterson
bring down the cost of college education, and I am supportive of efforts to let students refinance their loans at
lower rates.
Finally, I also want to see a
greater emphasis on work
training and community college programs that train people for the many good-paying
manufacturing jobs that are
available today.
Energy: Do you support
current restrictions on domestic oil and natural gas
production, or would you
like to see them reduced or
increased?
I am for an “all of the
above” energy policy. I support the safe production of oil
and natural gas as well as the
pipelines needed to get this
energy to market. I was an
early supporter of the bill to
end the crude oil export ban,
which will further encourage
investments in oil and natural
gas fields like those nearby
North Dakota.
Debt: Federal entitlements are the main drivers
of rising U.S. debt. What
specific steps can be taken
to keep programs such as
Social Security, Medicare
and Medicaid solvent and
still serve those individuals
in need?
The debt is a large and
growing issue. In the late ’90s
we were on a path to pay
down the debt, but the reckless Bush tax cuts and unpaid
wars contributed to a weakened financial position. I took
a tough vote in 2010 with 37
other representatives on a bipartisan basis to combine tax
increases, spending reductions and entitlement reform
to address this situation. I will
continue to be a voice in the
middle, willing to do the right
thing to get or fiscal house in
order. Although it’s true that
an aging population is increasing the cost of these
safety net programs, we can’t
try to balance the budget on
the backs of seniors or break
our promise to them after
they paid their entire lifetime
into the program.
Transportation: What
role should the federal government play in funding
state and local transportation infrastructure? Be specific.
We all benefit from a
strong transportation system
with connected roads, rail and
airports.
Part of the federal responsibility has been to keep these
systems efficient and modern.
We have fallen behind in providing the funds necessary to
keep up with a growing economy. That is why I support
common sense measures like
increasing the gas tax, which
hasn’t kept up with inflation.
I also support provisions in
the recently passed transportation bill to help local
communities respond to the
impacts of increased rail traffic.
Economy: What steps do
you support to stimulate the
growth of jobs?
We need to streamline and
eliminate a number of burdensome regulations which
add costs to businesses. We
have the potential to create
jobs by bringing back money
held overseas by U.S. companies and making the tax code
less complex and more competitive. I also support consistent, predictable, and reliable
investments in infrastructure
like roads, broadband and
water infrastructure that help
businesses and communities
grow more efficiently.
Agriculture: Agricultural
leaders fear that the U.S.
Environmental Protection
Agency will use perceived
authority under the Clean
Water Act provision Waters
of the United States to invoke practices and requirements on private farm land,
which could alter future
crop production practices
and livestock grazing. Do
you support the provision?
Why or why not?
I have been a strong opponent of the EPA’s Waters of
the U.S. rule. This is a big
concern for producers and
could make it harder for producers to do the work on their
farms that is needed to increase productivity. If the
EPA tries to micro-manage
land use decisions it will put
a halt to new water drainage
management technologies
which can increase yields,
promote clean water and contribute to our region’s flood
mitigation solution.
Immigration: Do America’s immigration laws need
to be changed? What should
be the tenets of any immigration reform legislation?
The partisanship on this
issue has made it hard to
make the changes we need to
meet some of our workforce
needs. In agriculture, we have
produce rotting on the vine
because of a lack of labor. We
are also sending away newly
minted PhDs from U.S. universities in science and math
because they can’t get the
permits needed to stay. This is
hurting our Minnesota businesses who want to expand
their operations here. I have
been supportive of strong border enforcement and screening processes to make sure
we have balance between our
security and economic needs.
Foreign trade: Should the
Trans-Pacific Partnership
be ratified? Be specific in
your reasons.
I have significant concerns
about the TPP that I have expressed with the administration. It is not a free trade bill
but a managed trade bill. It
fails to fix some of the problems from NAFTA that put
our dairy producers at a disadvantage. I am skeptical that
this agreement can proceed
unless issues like this are addressed.
Briefly summarize your
personal background and
qualifications.
I grew up on a farm in
Baker and attended Minnesota State University Moorhead
before becoming a small
business owner and CPA in
Detroit Lakes. I served in the
Minnesota State Senate before I was elected to Congress
in 1990, and serve a primarily
rural and agricultural district
that spans more than 35,000
square miles of western Minnesota.

Gruenhagen Continued from page 9
Solution: The short-term reform that is needed to dramatically reduce this year’s premium increases is to pass legislation that establishes a state
re-insurance program for individuals with catastrophic
health care claims. The governor needs to call a special session to pass this legislation
and request a waiver from the
federal government to implement this program.
I have offered and co-authored numerous health-care
reform bills that would reduce
premiums and increase healthcare access, all of which have
been opposed by the DFL and
the governor.
We must repeal Obamacare
and MNsure if we want our
children and grandchildren to
have the same access to excellent health care that we have
experienced.
Jobs benefit: Should the
state mandate paid family
leave? If so, should all sizes
of employers have to comply, and how should a program be financed?
I do not believe the state
should mandate paid family
leave. Private companies are
reducing benefits and not offering new benefits in our
state because of excessive taxation and regulations imposed
by our state legislature and
state agencies. Republicans insisted on tax relief for small
businesses, farms, veterans
and an expanded childcare tax
credit for working families. It
passed the Minnesota Legislature with over 89 percent of
Republicans and Democrats in
support of the tax bill. Unfortunately, Gov. Dayton vetoed
the bill.
Minnesota is among the top
10 taxed states in the nation.
This increases the cost of all
goods and services. Excessive
taxes and unreasonable regulations are an expense for
Minnesota businesses resulting in lower wages and less
benefits for their employees.
Gov. Dayton’s proposed budget spent the entire $900 million surplus on growing government and increasing taxes.
We desperately need to reform Minnesota’s excessive
taxation and regulations in
order that our businesses can
grow and prosper and create
more private-sector jobs with
higher wages and more benefits.
Transportation: What will
it take to pass a comprehensive funding for roads,
bridges and transit? What
sources of revenue should be
raised for what specific programs? Or is current funding sufficient?
The Republicans and the
Democrats each came up with
a multi-billion dollar, 10-year
plan to fund transportation.
There were several key areas
of disagreement that eventually led to a compromise agreement to pass a bipartisan $700
million transportation and
bonding bill that emphasized
roads and bridges. The Republican plan did not have a gas
tax increase, but did redirect
current tax revenues connected to transportation and required those funds for roads
and bridges. Historically, all
transportation taxes were
mandated to go towards transportation; however, in the ’70s
that mandate was changed and
these funds were redirected to
other state government expenditures, creating a continual
shortage in transportation
funding.
The house passed this $700
million compromise bill on a
large bipartisan vote and sent
it over to the DFL Senate.
Unfortunately, as mentioned
above under the “budget question,” the DFL Senate broke
the agreement to pass the
transportation and bonding
agreement and added a last
minute southwest light rail
amendment in the final minutes of session. The House
had already adjourned and
hence the need for the governor to call a special session.
Keep in mind the current
light rail system needs approximately $55 million per year
in tax subsidy from the general fund to cover operating
losses. This also leaves less
money for rural roads and
bridges.
In addition, Minnesota's
prevailing wage law will artificially inflate the cost of constructing the $2 billion light
rail project. And can anyone
remember a multi billion-dollar government project that
came in under budget? I predict that the construction of
South West Light Rail will run
over budget by millions of
dollars and all state taxpayers
will be asked to pay the extra
cost.
Taxpayers also need to be
aware that every 25-30 years
light rail needs to be rebuilt
and there is no money set
aside, state or federal, to pay
the billions of tax dollars necessary for the re-construction
of the light rail system. The
fact is that all Minnesota taxpayers are paying towards the
metro light rail system.
I support bus transit, which
is flexible, and cost efficient
compared to the SWLR.
Finally, a gas tax increase is
a regressive tax, meaning it
raises the cost of all goods and
services and hurts the poor
and elderly on fixed incomes
the most. We need to reform
the current system making it
more cost efficient and consider a gas tax increase only as
a last resort. The governor
proposed a 24 percent increase
in the gas tax with no reforms.
The House voted on the governor’s gas tax increase and
not one DFL legislator voted
for it.
Elections: Do you support
moving the primary election
from August to June in an
effort to increase voter
turnout?
I am neutral on moving the
primaries and lean slightly
against it. I doubt that moving
the primary date will increase
voter turnout. I am sure that
moving the primary date to
June will give political parties
two more months of running
negative ads between candidates. I seriously doubt if the
majority of Minnesotans desire to see that change.
Briefly summarize your
personal background and
qualifications.
I was raised on a dairy farm
in rural Glencoe. I’m also a
veteran of the United States
Marine Corps. ‘m a small
business owner of Gruenhagen Insurance and Financial
Services and have 38 years of
experience in private business,
health insurance and financial
planning. I hold degrees as a
Chartered Financial Consultant and a Chartered Life Underwriter.
I participated in prison ministry for 13 years. I am also a
member of the Rotary Club
and the American Legion.
I was elected to the Glencoe-Silver Lake school board
for four terms, serving for 16
years. In 2010, I was elected
to serve in the Minnesota
House of Representatives. I
am running for my fourth
term.
These life experiences have
given me strong roots and
convictions in regards to the
value of our rural communities and farms. It has also provided me with the understand-
ing and experience to address
the critical issues facing our
state. Thank you for the honor
of being able to represent this
district for the past six years.
With your support I hope to
represent you again at the
Capitol and stand for those
principles that have made our
district, state and nation a
great place to live and work
and raise our children.
Any other comments.
I am honored to have received the following endorsements for this election: The
National Federation of Independent Business, Minnesota
Citizens Concerned for Life,
The National Rifle Association, Minnesota Farm Bureau,
Long-Term Care Providers,
and Minnesota Gun Owners. I
was recently honored to receive the lifetime title of
“Best Friend of the Taxpayer”
from The Minnesota Taxpayers League.
These endorsements demonstrate my commitment to support legislation that improves
the lives and economic opportunities for the people and
children of our rural district. I
will promote solutions that
work and oppose legislation
that damages people’s lives
and constitutional rights.

Landmarks Demolished
A pair of Cemstone buildings, formerly owned by Arlington
Concrete Products, were demolished on Tuesday, Nov. 1. The
buildings were located just west of the railroad tracks and east
of Jerry’s Home Quality Foods along First Avenue Northwest in
Arlington. Cemstone, according to city documents, has pur-
chased 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.
What is a fair and profitable farm rental agreement
Landlords, farmers and
agri-business professionals
should make plans to attend
one of the informative meetings being held across South
Central Minnesota throughout the fall. These free meetings are being provided by
the University of Minnesota
Extension.
Determining a fair and
profitable farm rent agreement is a challenge in today’s
current economic climate of
inflated input costs and low
commodity prices.
Negotiating a fair rental
agreement that satisfies the
land owner and the farmer is
a challenge. David Bau, Extension Educator in Ag Business Management and Jason
Ertl, local Ag Production Systems Extension Educator, will
provide several ways to approach this topic by examples, factsheets and worksheets to determine a fair
farm land rental rate for both
parties. Data collected from
the 2016-2017 Sibley County
Land Rent survey will also be
available. This survey was
circulated to county residents
earlier in the fall and can be
used to observe county and
township trends.
Topics covered at the meetings will include local historic and projected farmland
rental rate trends, current
farm land values and sales, a
worksheet that will help determine a fair and profitable
rental agreement. Input costs
for 2017 will be presented
along with current 2017 corn
and soybean prices. Worksheets will examine 2017
costs and what is affordable
rent that a farmer will be able
to pay in 2017, the rate of return to the landlord at current
market values and examine
flexible rental agreements.
Make plans to attend one of
these meetings now. Attendees will receive several informative worksheets and
factsheets that will help to determine what a fair 2017 farm
land rental rate is.
The meetings will be held
locally at:
• Sibley County Courthouse Annex Basement, 400
