The Sibley County Board
of Commissioners, during its
regular meeting on Tuesday,
Nov. 25, approved the county
administrator search proposal
presented by David Unmacht
from Springsted, Incorporat-
ed.
The total cost charged by
Springsted, Inc. will not ex-
ceed $12,000. The cost in-
cludes $10,500 for profes-
sional fees and $1,500 for ex-
penses. The total cost of the
search in 2012 was $16,400.
Unmacht stated that his role
will be that of a manager and
providing extensive outreach.
In regards to the position
advertisement, current Coun-
ty Administrator Matt Jau-
nich recommended narrowing
the salary range in the listing.
The salary range is listed at
$62,025 to $100,734. Jaunich
suggested increasing the
lower number. Unmacht
plans to have the documents
updated by the next Board
meeting on Tuesday, Dec. 9.
Unmacht will work with Jau-
nich to work out the details of
the posting. The time frame
for advertising the position
was tentatively set for Dec.
15 through Jan. 19, 2015,
with the Board having the op-
tion to increase the time
frame if it does not receive
enough applicants because of
the holidays.
The Board also established
a five member search com-
mittee. County Commission-
er Bill Pinkse stated that “no
one applying for the position
would be eligible to be on the
search committee.”
The committee members
include Pinske, County
Commissioner Jim Swanson,
Sibley County Public Health
and Human Services Director
Vicki Stock, Sibley County
Treasurer Mary Fisher and
Sibley County Public Works
Director Tim Becker.
Annual Report
The Mental Health Local
Advisory Council presented
its annual report to the Board.
The Council’s goal is to edu-
cate the community and
delete the stigma of a mental
health diagnosis.
The Clubhouse was open
250 days the past year and
had an average number of 6
clients per day. It hosted an
open house in May which 50
people attended and had a
record number of people for
Thanksgiving last year.
Some of the challenges
faced by the Council included
ride ability with Trailblazer
Transit. Some clients had to
arrive three hours early for an
appointment or wait three
hours to be picked up after-
ward. The Council also re-
ported that clients are strug-
gling to find affordable hous-
ing. Clients without a strong
rental history or a criminal
record are having a difficult
time finding housing. The
Council has also had an in-
creased number of referrals.
Staff are limited to no more
than 30 clients each. They are
unsure if they will be able to
meet demands with the cur-
rent staff levels.
The Board also approved
the 2015 Public Health and
Human Services Agreement
with Greater MN Family
Services for the provision of
In-Home Family Based Serv-
ices at a cost not to exceed
$118,395.
Trailblazer
Agreement
The Board passed resolu-
tion #2014-70 to approve the
amended Trailblazer Joint
Powers Agreement. Pinske
said, “It’s time to form this
partnership and move for-
ward.”
On June 8, 1999, Sibley
County approved a resolution
to enter into a Joint Powers
Agreement with McLeod
County to provide for a
“Transit Board” for the pur-
poses of providing coordinat-
ed service delivery and fund-
ing sources for public trans-
portation in and among the
counties. Resolution #2014-
70 amends the 1999 resolu-
tion to include Wright County
Area Transportation Joint
Powers Board (WCAT). The
resolution passed, but several
Commissioners voiced their
disappointment with McLeod
County’s last minute change
which sets the board compo-
sition at three elected offi-
cials from McLeod County
and two elected officials from
Sibley County and WCAT.
This gives McLeod County
three votes to two.
Sale of Lots
The Board also approved
Resolution #2014-68, the sale
of Winthrop tax forfeited lots
#11 and #12, Block 21 of
Frankenfield’s Second Addi-
tion, to the City of Winthrop
for $1,000. The city plans to
tear down the dilapidated
house on these lots. The
Board likewise approved res-
olution #2014-69, the sale of
another small parcel of land
in Winthrop to the City of
Winthrop. The land used to
be part of Auntie Hildegard’s
and borders city property.

Arli-Dazzle Parade
The Arlington VFW Post #6031, with donated sup-
plies, made 100 parking signs which will be used for
the Arli-Dazzle Parade and festivities on Saturday,
Dec. 6. The VFW sign installation crew included Low-
ell Nagel, Dick Luepke, John Krebsbach and Duane
Weckwerth. Lowell Nagel, left, and Arli-Dazzle Parade
Coordinator Susan Schmidtbauer, right, posed with

A lawsuit filed by rural
Gaylord resident Nathan
Kranz in Sibley County Dis-
trict Court to contest the re-
cent passage of the Sibley
East Public Schools $43 mil-
lion building bond referen-
dum is now in the hands of
Judge Kevin Ide.
An evidentiary hearing was
held and completed on the
matter in district court on
Tuesday morning and after-
noon, Dec. 2. The attorneys
for both sides will submit
memorandums/summations
and Judge Ide will make a
prompt ruling after Tuesday,
Dec. 9.
Kranz contests the bond
issue special election on two
grounds, according to the
court document.
First, the School District,
acting through the clerk of
the School District, failed to
publish the notice of the bal-
lot question two weeks prior
to the Nov. 4 election as man-
dated under Minnesota
Statute 205A.07.
Second, the School Dis-
trict, acting through the
School Board, failed to time-
ly publish an adequate notice
of the Minnesota Department
of Education Commissioner’s
review and summary of the
projet(s) supported by the
ballot bond question placed
before the voters on Nov. 4 as
mandated under Minnesota
Statute 1233B.71, Subdivi-
sion 12. That provision re-
quired the Commissioner’s
comments of the project be
published at least 20 days, but
not more than 60 days before
a referendum for bonds relat-
ed to the project. The notice
failed to identify what project
the review and comment was
related to.
As a result of these two vi-
olations, Kranz contends the
ballot bond question election
results must be declared
statutorily invalid under Min-
nesota Statute 209. In addi-
tion, Kranz and the group of
contestants want to be reim-
bursed for attorney fees, costs
and expenses under Minneso-
ta Statute 209.07.
The morning session of the
evidentiary hearing was at-
tended by approximately 75
people.
Attorney Erick Kaardal,
who is representing Kranz,
waived his right to an open-
ing statement.
Attorney Michelle Kenney,
who is representing the Sib-
ley East Public Schools,
made an opening statement
and said the will of the people
at the ballot box should not
be disturbed. She also stated

The Kingery Family
The Kingery family will present a program at Zion
Lutheran Church in Arlington at 7 p.m. Wednesday,
Dec. 10. This program is the annual Community
Christmas Program presented by the Zion Church
Women. A free will offering will be taken with pro-
ceeds going to the Community Assistance Fund.
Everyone, men, women and children are invited to at-
tend this uplifting program. The Kingery family, from
central Minnesota, began as a family of ten -- Mike,
Chris and their eight children singing and ministering
together through music. It has grown to include two
sons-in-law and four grandchildren. They have en-
joyed singing together for the past 11 years. They
sing primarily gospel bluegrass music while incorpo-
rating fiddle, patriotic, Americana and a Capella. The
Kingery family’s hope is to glorify the Lord Jesus
Christ and to point Him to others.
Arlington Industries re-
cently held its annual meeting
at the Arlington State Bank.
The industrial development
corporation is a local devel-
opment company which as-
sists in development projects
to encourage economic ex-
pansion and employment op-
portunities in the Arlington
area.
It was reported that the cor-
poration had a successful and
profitable year with its loan
portfolio at its highest point
historically and with all loans
current.
The policy of the revolving
loan fund is to provide gap fi-
nancing to assist companies
or individuals to obtain fi-
nancing to expand current
business or start new business
ventures and find a need for
equity financing as part of
their expansion project.
The group would encour-
age any local business entity
considering expansion to
consider utilizing Arlington
Industries revolving loan
fund for a part of their financ-
ing package. For information
regarding the loan fund, indi-
viduals can check with Secre-
tary Larry Sorenson at 507-
964-5588 or loan committee
members Scott Sorenson or
Pete Arneson at the Arlington
State Bank.
During the business ses-
sion, the group decided to
give $1,000 to the Arlington
Historical Society to help
with their project to convert
part of the old fire hall to a
museum. The group also dis-
cussed the implications of the
Seneca Foods closing as well
as the recent school bond
issue. It was the consensus of
the group that having a first
class school system is critical
for the community to attract
business and residents to Ar-
lington.
Up to 30 members can be
active in the corporation and
presently there are slots open
for additional members. Any
community member interest-
ed in economic development
is encouraged to contact Ar-
lington Industries about
membership.
The officers for Arlington
Industries are President Low-
ell Nagel, Vice President Bill
Pinske and Secretary/Treasur-
er Larry Sorenson.

ter. The names of those stu-
dents are then submitted to
the Gaylord Rotary Club to
consider for a scholarship
sponsored by the club. The
scholarship will be presented
to the outstanding senior of
the year during the annual
awards ceremony next spring.
Mercier is currently en-
rolled in U.S. Government,

Services for Sibley Estates
East and West.
Cindy Fleegel, Senior Re-
gional Property Manager,
identified that Sibley Estates
expects to have a profit of
$10,098.68 next year. The
major expenses are expected
to be a new power head in the
elevator in Henderson and a
cable in the elevator in
Winthrop.
New Concepts
Vanessa Steffl and Sarah
Anderson from Lutheran So-
cial Services (LSS) updated
the Board on the Senior Din-
ing and Meals on Wheels Pro-
grams. Steffl stated that they
face government funding cuts
and may have to make some
changes. One option would
be to cut back on congregate
meals. LSS serves congregate
meals and home delivered
meals throughout Sibley
County. The congregate
meals for Arlington/Green
Isle are served at Highland
Commons on Seventh Avenue
and Main Streets. Meals are
for adults 60 years and up. A
$4.00-$7.00 donation per
meal is suggested.
LSS has been experiment-
ing with frozen meal delivery
in an attempt to reach resi-
dents living in the country.
Residents are able to order a
frozen meal bundle containing
a five or ten-meal box. LSS is
also experimenting with a
Healthy Eating Rewards Card
in Fairfax, Gibbon and
Winthrop. Residents who
dine-in four times will get
their fifth meal free thanks to
a grant from Allina Health.
Recognition
There will be a recognition
for County Commissioner
Harold Pettis in the Court-
house Rotunda following the
Sibley County Board meeting
from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Tues-
day, Dec. 23. The Commis-
sioners’ terms end January

complied with the law.
During the morning testi-
mony, Kranz said Sibley East
published the Notice of Spe-
cial Election in the Arlington
Enterprise and Gaylord Hub
on Oct. 23 and Oct. 30 which
was two days late, according
to state statute.
The organic chicken farmer
also said the Review and

lished late and did not contain
a description of the project or
date of the special election.
Kranz also stated that 1,266
registered voters did not show
up at the polls for the special
election on Tuesday, Nov. 4.

Wednesday, Oct. 15 which
was well after the weekly
deadline. Ramige-Cornwell,
who communicated concerns
about legal deadlines to Sib-
ley East, said the newspaper
could have made an exception
to the weekly deadline, but
Sibley East did not ask.
Gaylord Hub Publisher Joe
Dies said the newspaper also
received the Notice of Special
Election and the Review and
Comment Statement after the
weekly deadline.
Sibley East Superintendent
Jim Amsden, in the morning
session, admitted that the No-
tice of Special Election and
the Review and Comment
Statement were not published
on the required dates.
Less than a third of the
crowd returned for the after-
noon session.
Amsden testified that he
discovered on Wednesday,
Oct. 15 that the Review &
Comment Statement had not
been published. Amsden said
he sought legal advice on the
matter to move forward. He
also conferred with Sibley
East Elections Clerk Lindsey
Neisen about the matter.
Amsden said Sibley East
immediately submitted the
Review & Comment State-
ment to both legal newspa-
pers. The document was also
forward to The Sibley Shopper
which features wider circula-
tion and The Free Press which
is a daily newspaper. In addi-
tion, the document was placed
on the front page of the Sibley
East website. The goal was to
get the notices out as quickly
as possible, he added.
Amsden also testified that
informational meetings on the
building bond referendum
were held in all three commu-
nities and numerous smaller
meetings were held through-
out the school district.
In addition, Amsden said
there were over 100 articles
about the referendum pub-
lished in both legal newspa-
pers from August through the
Special Election.
He did admit, during the
testimony, that there was no
discussion about postponing
the Special Election.
Neisen testified that she
was informed by the Sibley
County Auditor’s Office to
publish the Notice of Special
Election in both legal newspa-
pers on Oct. 20. It was also
published as a precautionary
measure on Oct. 27.
Corissa Aronson, who held
the title of assistant county
auditor at the time of the Spe-
cial Election, testified that the
voter turnout for the mid-term
election in 2014 was 71.51
percent of registered voters.
The turnout for recent mid-
term elections in 2010 and
2006 was 71.89 and 72.5 per-
cent respectively.
During his closing state-
ment, Kaardal said there is no
dispute that the notices were
published late and the Special
Election could have been de-
layed when Amsden discov-
ered on Oct. 15 that the Re-
view & Comment Statement
had not been published.
Kaardal said the margin of
victory was only 96 votes
(1,634-1,538) and 1,266 regis-
tered voters did not show at
the polls. He added that the
court has no choice, but to in-
validate the Special Election.
Kaardal added that there
needs to be a new Special
Election where all laws are
followed.
Kenney waived her right to
a closing statement.

Opinions
Arli-Dazzle festivities
are this Saturday
Our View: One way to say thanks to
the many volunteers/sponsors is to
attend the various activities in town
Letter To The Editor
Guest Column
The Arlington Area Chamber of Commerce has hit a
grand slam with the Arli-Dazzle festivities which are
held during the first Saturday in December each year.
Most small towns would kill to have a holiday celebra-
tion of this variety and magnitude.
The Chamber plays a major role in this highly success-
ful celebration, but the event could not be pulled off
without the support and dedication of many volunteers,
businesses and organizations as well.
Dozen and dozens of volunteers, businesses and organ-
izations donate a lot of time and money each year to
make this event one of the best holiday celebrations in
Minnesota.
Other than saying thanks, there are also a few other
ways for people to show their appreciation to these vol-
unteers, businesses and organizations. One way is for
people to either attend or participate in the variety of ac-
tivities in the community that day. Another way is for
residents to support these generous businesses and or-
ganizations throughout the year.
Hats off to these volunteers, businesses and organiza-
tions who made this celebration not only possible, but
such a huge success each year. There would be no Arli-
Dazzle festivities without their volunteerism and sup-
port.

A little boy was eating in a restau-
rant for his birthday, when he started
eating without a prayer. His parents
turned to him and said, “We say a
prayer before eating in our house!”
The little boy replied, “Yeah,
that’s in our house, but here the
chef knows how to cook!”

“Take out a pen and paper,” the
teacher said. “Imagine you are a mil-
lionaire, and write an essay on how
you’re feeling.”
All the children started writing
their essay except for Willy. “Why
aren’t you writing your essay,
Willy?” asked the teacher.
“I’m waiting for my secretary,”
he replied.

Josh came back to the table, his plate

“Josh!” exclaimed his mother.
“Doesn’t it embarrass you that peo-

table five times?”
“Not a bit,” said Josh, “I just
tell them I’m filling up the plate
for you!”

A couple was sitting in the
lawyer’s office working on their

should discuss end of life issues how
they want to be treated.
The man turned to his wife and
said, “Please promise me that if I am
ever dependent only on machines
and bottled fluids to keep me alive,
you will take action and put an end
to it right away.”
So when they got home, his obe-
dient wife went straight to the TV
and unplugged it, then took his
beer and poured it down the
drain.

Outside the train station a kid sell-
ing newspapers bellowed, “Extra!
Extra! Read all about it! Five men
swindled!”
A man walks up and buys the
paper. After reading it he comes
back to the kid. “Hey kid, I don’t see
anything here about five people
being swindled!”
“Extra! Extra!” yells the boy.
“Six men swindled!”

John came back from a two-week

you crazy? That would have ru-
ined the whole vacation!”

By Lee H. Hamilton
Given all the words and images
devoted to the midterm elections
over the past few weeks, you’d think
the results had told us something
vital about the future of the country.
In reality, they were just a curtain-
raiser. It’s the next few weeks and
months that really matter.
The big question, as the old Con-
gress reconvenes and prepares to
make way for next year’s version, is
whether the two parties will work
more closely together to move the
country forward or instead lapse
back into confrontation and dead-
lock. I suspect the answer will be a
mix: modest progress on a few is-
sues, but no major reforms.
Overall, the deep frustration
Americans feel toward Washington
will likely continue. Especially
since, despite the urgent problems
confronting us, the House leadership
has announced an astoundingly re-
laxed 2015 agenda that includes not
a single five-day work week, 18
weeks with no votes scheduled, and
just one full month in session: Janu-
ary.
Still, there is hope for at least a
modicum of progress. The President
wants to enhance his legacy. More
politicians these days seem to prefer
governing to posturing. The Repub-
lican Party may have won big in the
elections, but it still cannot govern
alone: it will need Democratic votes
in the Senate and the cooperation of
the President. And both parties want
to demonstrate that they recognize
they’re responsible for governing.
Congress faces plenty of issues
that need addressing, which means
that skillful legislators who want to
show progress have an extensive
menu from which to choose. Trade,
health care, terrorism, responsible
budgeting, rules on greenhouse gas
emissions.. . All of these are
amenable to incremental progress.
Which is not to say that progress
is inevitable. President Obama acted
to halt deportations of millions of il-
legal immigrants, though he did so
without Congress. His action could
unleash unpredictable consequences.
Meanwhile, the new Republican
Senate is almost certain to give the
President’s nominees a hard time;
while GOP senators are unlikely to
want to appear too tough on Loretta
Lynch, the nominee for attorney
general, the gloves will almost cer-
tainly come off for nominees who
must negotiate hearings after her.
Yet indications of what next year
may be like have already begun to
emerge. Bills with a relatively nar-
row focus that enjoy bipartisan sup-
port — boosting agricultural devel-
opment aid overseas, funding re-
search into traumatic brain injuries,
giving parents with disabled chil-
dren a tax break on savings for long-
term expenses — either have passed
the “lame-duck” Congress or stand a
good chance of doing so.
In the end, 2015 will see a mix of
small steps forward and backward.
There’s little chance of a minimum
wage increase and it’s unlikely the
budget will be passed in an orderly
and traditional manner. Similarly,
significant and difficult issues like
major entitlement and tax reform
will prove hard to budge, and com-
prehensive immigration reform is a
near impossibility. There will be no
knockdown punch on Obamacare,
but we’ll see plenty of efforts to
chip away at it.
On the other hand, Congress can
probably manage to avoid a govern-
ment shutdown, and it faces decent
prospects of expanding and protect-
ing our energy boom, promoting
fast-track trade authority, and fund-
ing key infrastructure needs. De-
fense spending will not be further
reduced.
The parties on Capitol Hill are
highly suspicious of one another. In-
coming Senate Majority Leader
Mitch McConnell has said the right
things about wanting more open-
ness, a more traditional process, and
more ability on the minority’s part
to offer amendments, but he’ll be
under great pressure from members
of his caucus to make life hard for
Democrats. Similarly, Democrats in
the Senate, still fuming over what
they view as obstructionism from
the Republicans over the last several
years, will face pressure to make life
as hard as possible for the new ma-
jority.
Yet here’s the basic truth: divided
government does not have to be dys-
functional. It can be made to work,
and if incremental progress on small
issues is the way to get started, then
let’s hope Congress and the Presi-
dent pursue that course.
Lee Hamilton is Director of the
Center on Congress at Indiana Uni-
versity. He was a member of the
U.S. House of Representatives for

What lies ahead
To The Editor,
A number of weeks ago your
paper reported the City Council had
decided to use a section of the city
charter to declare “non-enforce-
ment” of “open consumption” on
Main Street during the Arli-Dazzle
Parade. When I read this, I was cha-
grined that this decision was made.
I had a conversation with a mem-
ber of the City Council about this
decision and its rationale. I fully ap-
preciated that enforcement on a very
crowded Main Street and during the
parade is practically an impossible
task for a police department. I un-
derstand the desire that police not be
criticized for non-enforcement so
the action seemed like a good option
to use. I also understand a similar
action has been taken in the past for
car shows and other events on Main
Street.
But I am chagrined because as a
community Arli-Dazzle is an at-
tempt to provide a “family event”
day of activities. Having open con-
sumption on Main Street during the
parade is not the image our commu-
nity should be projecting.
I am not against responsible con-
sumption of alcoholic beverages (al-
though I understand that some pas-
tors and other townspeople likely
are). What concerns me is that the
work of the Partnership for Preven-
tion/Teens Are for Real seeking to
promote our community as one
which does not condone or encour-
age underage drinking is under-
mined by this action by the City
Council. The wrong message is sent.
I personally would be comfortable
with a designated area “beer garden”
place with barriers allowing “of
age” people to partake even on Main
Street during the parade. What I
cannot be comfortable with is the
likelihood (or maybe the certainty)
of folks walking up and down the
street drinking openly in the pres-
ence of children and youth which
makes drinking on a public street
seem like acceptable behavior.
If as a community there is concern
for underage drinking and the illegal
use of drugs (especially marijuana
and meth), then this action sends the
wrong message.
This letter and its position are my
own. Neither the coalition on which
I serve nor the congregation I serve
have reviewed or have control over
what I have written.
Again, I understand the rationale
for the decision the City Council
made. But this action sends the
wrong message for children and
youth of our communities and does
not promote the “community image”
I think our community desires.

The wedding of two popular
and well known Arlington
township young people was sol-
emnized at St. Paul’s Lutheran
Church yesterday afternoon,
uniting the hearts of Miss Lizzie
Emma Witte and Mr. Theodore
A. Sickmann. The bride is the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred
Witte and the groom the son of
Mrs. August Sickmann. Rev. R.
Heidmann tied the knot in the
presence of a host of admiring
relatives and friends of the con-
tracting parties.
The old Sullivan farm, north
of town was sold this week by
Aug Huckenpoeler for $200 an
acre, Martin Joel being the pur-
chaser. The farm consists of 153
acres and brought the sum of
$30,600.
Art Zacharias is spending the
week at his parental home at
Gaylord where he is recovering
from a prolonged siege of hic-
coughs. The hiccoughs took a
fancy to Art and stayed with him
for several days, and it was only
after the best medical attention
and a few days rest that they
(Art and the hiccoughs) parted
company.
The coal situation is growing
worse. Local dealers are all out
of hard coal and prospects of re-
ceiving shipments are not very
promising altho numerous or-
ders have been placed for the
same. Several varieties of soft
coal are still obtainable here but
several large consumers have
only a few days supply on hand
and unless a few cars are re-
ceived within the week they will
be up against a shortage. One
car of soft coal consigned to one
of our retailers has already been
held up by the railroad company
and has been standing in the
yards here for a week or more.
Later-The coal situation be-
came serious Tuesday and the
railroad company released the
car.

This year’s Christmas tree
for the governor’s official
residence in St. Paul is a 50-
foot balsam fir from the Ne-
madji State Forest, according
to the Department of Natural
Resources.
Today, DNR staff and the
Conservation Corps Min-
nesota cut down the tree –115
miles northeast of the Twin
Cities; it will be erected at the
governor ’s residence on
Monday.
“Finding a perfect speci-
men growing in the wild is
not an easy task,” said Tim
Brault, DNR forestry techni-
cian who helps locate the
governor’s Christmas tree.
“A candidate tree should have
symmetrical branches, no no-
ticeable gaps in the branches
and a gradual taper.”
Extreme care must be
taken as the tree is loaded
onto a trailer, bound in rope
and covered with a tarp for its
trip to St. Paul.
The tree will be removed
from the front lawn of the
governor’s residence when
the holiday season ends. It
will then be chipped and re-
cycled.
The Christmas tree hunt
begins in early fall when
DNR foresters scout for po-
tential candidates in Min-
nesota’s 58 state forests.
Annually, 500,000 Christ-
mas trees are harvested in
Minnesota. For every Christ-
mas tree harvested, one to
three seedlings are planted in
its place, making it a renew-
able product.
People can cut their own
Christmas trees from a Min-
nesota state forest, as long as
they obtain a special products
permit. Contact a DNR
forestry office for more de-
tails.

for the 2016 Minnesota Wild
Turkey Stamp contest from
Monday, Dec. 8, through 4
p.m., Monday, Dec. 29, ac-
cording to the Department of
Natural Resources.
The turkey stamp is sold

ble. In the contest, the eastern
wild turkey must be the pri-
mary focus of the design.

thrive throughout all but the
northern forested portions of
the state.
The contest offers no prizes
and is open to Minnesota res-
idents only. Artists are not al-
lowed to use any photograph-
ic product as part of their fin-
ished entries. Winning artists

Snowmobilers can legally
ride any of the more than
22,000 miles of Minnesota’s
state and grant-in-aid snow-
mobile trails, from Dec. 1
through the end of March, ac-
cording to the Department of
Natural Resources.
“Although many trails do
not yet have adequate snow
cover for grooming, this is a
good time to register your
snowmobile, inspect your
equipment, download maps
and do your trip planning,”
said Tom Landwehr, DNR
commissioner. “Minnesota
offers a variety of scenery
and terrain to explore in state
parks, in state forests, on state
trails and on private land that
citizens kindly allow snow-
mobilers to use throughout
the winter months.”
The economic impact of
snowmobiling in Minnesota
is estimated to be approxi-
mately $1 billion each year,
according to Minnesota Unit-
ed Snowmobilers Association
(MnUSA). Minnesota snow-
mobile registrations totaled
216,144 last season.
“Outdoor recreation, in-
cluding winter activities, is
important to Minnesota
tourism,” said John Edman,
director of Explore Minneso-
ta. “Snowmobiling Minneso-
ta’s excellent trails, lakes and
forests is a great way to take
in beautiful winter scenery
that can be found only in
Minnesota.”
As riders head out on the
trails, the DNR urges them to
ride safely and responsibly.
“Know the rules and use
common sense,” said DNR
Conservation Officer Adam
Block. “Obey signs, drive
sober and be especially care-
ful around wetlands, streams
and lakes, because the ice
may not be thick enough to
ride on, especially this early
in the season.”
Club volunteers maintain
more than 21,000 of the Min-
nesota’s 22,000-plus trail
miles. Trail clubs welcome
new members to help keep
trails open and join in other
club activities.
“Snowmobile clubs and
trail crews are out working on
the trails now, and have been
for some time,” said Terry
Hutchinson, president of
MnUSA, “but it could be
awhile before trails in some
parts of the state will be
ready to ride.”
Snowmobile trail mainte-
nance costs are partially fund-
ed through snowmobile regis-
trations, trail pass sales, and
gas tax attributed to snowmo-
bile use. Donations, fundrais-
ers, and volunteer work by
trail clubs make up the re-
mainder of the costs and ef-
forts to operate these trails.
Snow depth and trail condi-
tions are updated every
Thursday after 2 p. m.
throughout the winter
months.
Printed maps are available
at local DNR offices and also
can be ordered by calling the
DNR Information Center at
651-296-6157 or 888-646-
6367 between 8 a.m. and 4:30
p.m. Monday through Friday
or sending an email message
to info. dnr@state.mn.us.
More information on snow-
mobile and winter travel op-
portunities in Minnesota can
be found online. MnUSA’s
snowmobile trail reports are
available online as well.
Minnesota snowmobile season, weekly trail reports begin
People can apply for early
season spring wild turkey
hunting permits now through
Friday, Jan. 9, according to
the Minnesota Department of
Natural Resources.
The spring season, which
runs from April 15 to May
28, is divided into eight time
periods. Only people age 18
and older who want to hunt
during the first three time pe-
riods (A-C) need to apply for
a spring turkey permit. Per-
mits for the remaining time
periods (D-H) can be pur-
chased over-the-counter.
Permits for the last five
time periods and youth li-
censes for any time period are
sold over-the-counter starting
March 1. Surplus adult li-
censes from the first three
time periods, if available, are
sold starting around mid-
March.
“There are a lot of options
for hunters. You can apply for
an early spring permit or buy
one over-the-counter,” said
Steve Merchant, DNR
wildlife population and regu-
lations manager. “For the sec-
ond year, we’ve let youth
hunt during all of the time pe-
riods, which makes it easier
to introduce a young person
to turkey hunting.”
In Minnesota, hunters can
hunt wild turkeys in spring
and fall, but spring turkey
hunting is much more popu-
lar. The first spring hunting
time period begins on
Wednesday, April 15.
Turkeys rear their young
after the spring hunting sea-
son, and nesting success can
influence how many turkeys
are present during the fall
hunting season that runs from
early October through early
November.
For more information on
turkey hunting, see the Wild
Turkey hunting Web page.
Spring wild turkey hunters can apply for permits starting Dec. 1

“Festzug”
The Sibley East Senior High Band pre-
miered Brad Bombardier's “Festzug” at
its concert in Arlington on Monday
night Nov. 24. The piece was com-
posed specifically for the group. Last
summer, Sibley East Band Director
James Callahan, left, contacted his
friend and sax professor, Brad Bom-
bardier, from The University of Min-
nesota, Duluth, to see if he would work
on a commissioned band piece. Bom-
bardier agreed and created the piece
“Festzug.” Festzug is the German
translation of “Pageant.” He originally
sought out to write a piece with the
same structure as Vincent Persichetti's
band piece called Pageant. He ended
up scrapping the structure and creating
his own, but kept the title to pay hom-
age to Persichetti and represent the
German heritage of the area. Bom-
bardier highlighted the group’s
strengths with the piece. He also wrote
a large part for timpani to feature the
new set that we purchased last year. In
addition to attending the premier of the
work at the concert on Nov. 24, Bom-
bardier came down to work with the
group at the end of September. It was a
unique experience for the students to
be able to study a piece with the actual
composer.

Microloan Program
The Farm Service Agency
(FSA) developed the Mi-
croloan (ML) program to bet-
ter serve the unique financial
operating needs of beginning,
niche and small family farm
operations.
USDA is raising the bor-
rowing limit for the mi-
croloan program from
$35,000 to $50,000, effective
Nov. 7, 2014. The loan fea-
tures a streamlined applica-
tion process built to fit the
needs of new and smaller
producers. This loan pro-
gram will also be useful to
specialty crop producers and
operators of community sup-
ported agriculture (CSA).
Eligible applicants can
apply for a maximum amount
of $50,000 to pay for initial
start-up expenses such as
hoop houses to extend the
growing season, essential
tools, irrigation and annual
expenses such as seed, fertil-
izer, utilities, land rents, mar-
keting, and distribution ex-
penses. As financing needs
increase, applicants can apply
for a regular operating loan
up to the maximum amount
of $300,000 or obtain financ-
ing from a commercial lender
under FSA’s Guaranteed
Loan Program.
Individuals who are inter-
ested in applying for a mi-
croloan or would like to dis-
cuss other farm loan pro-
grams available should con-
tact their local FSA office to
set up an appointment with a
loan official.
Minnesota hunters regis-
tered 111,000 deer through
the third and last weekend of
firearms deer season, down
31,000 from the same period
in 2013, according to the
Minnesota Department of
Natural Resources.
So far this year during spe-
cial hunts and the archery,
early antlerless and firearms
seasons, hunters have har-
vested 127,000 deer, down
from the 2013 to-date harvest
total of 160,000.
This year’s lower harvest is
by design because regulations
were implemented to place
more deer – particularly does
– off limits to increase Min-
nesota’s deer population.
The DNR’s ongoing deer
management work also in-
cludes upcoming revisions to
the deer population goals for
large portions of northeast-
ern, north-central and east-
central Minnesota. This is
part of a multi-year goal-set-
ting process for the entire
state. People interested in
helping set these deer popula-
tion goals can get more infor-
mation on the process and op-
portunities for involvement at
www.mndnr.gov/deer.
Additional deer will be har-
vested during the late south-
eastern season, which runs
through Sunday, Nov. 30, and
the muzzleloader season,
which begins Saturday, Nov.
29, and continues through
Sunday, Dec. 14. The archery
season also runs through
Wednesday, Dec. 31.

Wedding
As part of the Arli-Dazzle
festivities on Saturday, Dec.
6, St. Paul’s Lutheran Church
at 101 West Chandler Street
will once again be trans-
formed into a train depot.
The Bethlehem Express will
be set to take passengers on
an imaginary journey to
Bethlehem to experience the
true meaning of Christmas.
Several “trains” are sched-
uled throughout the afternoon
for this family-friendly event.
Upon arrival, visitors will re-
ceive a free ticket at the
Depot to begin their journey.
A conductor will then guide
groups of “passengers” from
stop to stop inside the church
where riders will listen to the
choir sing Christmas carols,
participate in making a small
craft, and enjoy a snack and
refreshments before arriving
at the final destination of
Bethlehem. Here riders will
view a short DVD on the
birth of Jesus, the real mean-
ing of Christmas.
Trains will begin to leave
the depot at noon and depart
every 30 minutes. The last
train will depart at 3:30 pm to
allow ample time before the
start of the Arli-Dazzle Pa-
rade. Each train ride lasts
about one hour. Visitors may
also consider arriving by way
of the Arli-Dazzle Horse
Drawn Sleigh Rides.
No reservations are needed
and the church is wheelchair
accessible. For more infor-
mation on this free event visit
St. Paul’s website at
