The Sibley County Ad-
ministrative Search Com-
mittee conducted prelimi-
nary interviews for the
open county administrator
position on Tuesday, Feb.
17, according to County
Commissioner Jim Swan-
son.
The committee has cho-
sen three candidates to re-
turn for final interviews in
the Sibley County Commis-
sioners Board Room at 10
a.m. Monday, Feb. 23.
The names of the three
candidates will be made
public once they have ac-
cepted the offer for the in-
terview.
Sibley County Adminis-
trator Matt Jaunich official-
ly submitted his resignation
to the County Board on
Wednesday, Dec. 10, 2014.
Jaunich’s last official day
with Sibley County was on
Sunday, Jan. 11.
Swanson serves as the
committee chairperson. The
other committee members
included Tim Becker, Mary
Fisher, Vicki Stock and Bill
Pinske.
Preliminary interviews held for
county administrator position
By Kurt Menk
Editor
The Arlington City Coun-
cil, during a recent regular
meeting, received an update
on the Community Center.
The Community Center
Committee recently met and
reviewed some of the re-
search and recommendations
made by an ad hoc committee
in 2014.
The ad hoc committee was
established early last year and
met several times to address
the annual operational deficit
at the Community Center,
consider ideas to increase
revenues and lessen the bur-
den on taxpayers, and discuss
possible projects to improve
the facility.
Annual Deficit
The operational deficit at
the Community Center has
ranged anywhere from
$16,000 to $31,000 per year
from 2009 through 2014. The
operational deficit was
$25,750 in 2014. The City
Council has budgeted for a
$21,599 deficit in 2015. The
annual deficits are funded by
the local tax levy.
Although city officials
know the Community Center
will never financially break
even on a yearly basis, the
goal is to examine ways to
decrease the annual deficit as
much as possible and thereby
lessen the tax burden on local
residents.
Revenues
In 2014, the city staff con-
tacted area communities and
towns the same size as Ar-
lington that had a similar fa-
cility as the local Community
Center.
The research, which was
shared with the ad hoc com-
mittee, showed that the local
rates and fees were compara-
ble to facilities in these other
communities. However, the
ad hoc committee learned that
most other communities had a
caterer’s fee. Prior to 2015,
there was no caterer’s fee at
the local Community Center
since the facility was con-
structed in 2000.
The consensus of the ad
hoc committee was to recom-
mend the implementation of a
caterer ’s fee which would
help cover the cost of utili-
ties, the operation/mainte-
nance of the ice machine and
coolers, garbage collection
and cleanup. This, in turn,
would lessen the burden to
the taxpayers.
The caterer’s fee, which is
determined by a sliding scale
based on the number of peo-
ple in attendance at an event,
was approved by the City
Community Center

The Arlington City Coun-
cil, during its regular meeting
on Tuesday night, Feb. 17,
unanimously adopted a reso-
lution to approve plans and
specifications and authorize
the advertisement for bids on
the 2015 Street & Utility Im-
provement Project.
The 2015 Street & Utility
Improvement Project is esti-
mated to cost $1.9 million

Third Avenue Northwest),
Fourth Avenue Northwest
(north of West Chandler
Street, 1 1/2 blocks) and
Third Avenue Northwest
(north of West Chandler
Street, two blocks).
The City Council agreed to
include Elgin Street and the
sanitary sewer lining as alter-
nates to the project. Another
alternate is the pedestrian
crossing at the intersection of
Highway 5 and Second Av-
enue.
Bids will be opened on
Thursday, March 19
The City Council will ap-
prove the final assessment
roll, accept the low bid and
award the contract on April
20.

The Arlington City Coun-
cil, during its regular meeting
on Tuesday night, Feb. 17,
unanimously approved a mo-
tion to authorize a conditional
offer and starting salary for
the full-time police officer
position to John Stepien. The
starting salary would be
$17.70 per hour with bene-
fits.
City Council members
Michelle Battcher, James
Jaszewski, Jim Heiland, Jen-
nifer Nuesse and Galen Wills
all voted in favor of the mo-
tion.
Stepien received his Asso-
ciates of Applied Science De-
gree in Law Enforcement at
Rasmussen College, Manka-
to, during September of 2013.
He is currently a law en-
forcement boarding team
member/machinery techni-
cian with the United States
Coast Guard Reserve/Marine
Safety Detachment in St.
Paul. Prior to that, Stepien
was an active duty member of
the United States Coast
Guard. In addition, he is a
member of the Glencoe Po-
lice Reserves.
The City Council, during a
regular meeting in late 2014,
unanimously approved a mo-
tion to approve a three-per-
son police department.
The move toward a three-
person police department will
cost the City of Arlington an
estimated $34,000 more in
2015 compared to the current
two-person police depart-
ment. The total cost for 2015
is included in the budget.
Other News
The City Council unani-
mously adopted a resolution
to accept a $488 grant/dona-
tion from the Cable Commis-
sion and designate its use for
the installation of wi-fi access
points in the Arlington Com-
munity Center.
In other news, the City
Council unanimously ap-
proved a motion to authorize
an application to Minnesota
Rural Water ’s MIDI Loan
Program.
The City Council made the
move after it listened to a
presentation from Shannon
Sweeney, who is a represen-
tative from David Drown As-
sociates, Inc., Waconia.
In general, the city can refi-
nance its 2008A Equipment
Certificates and save approxi-
mately $12,000 through the
Minnesota Rural Water ’s
MIDI Loan Program.

Dwight Grabitske, secre-
tary for the Arlington Histori-
cal Society (AHS), presented
the annual report for that
group to the Arlington City
Council on Tuesday night,
Feb. 17.
The highlight for the AHS
in 2014 was the 125th an-
niversary of Thomes Brothers
last September. The AHS
hosted the event and present-
ed the family with a plaque in
commemoration of 125 years
in the hardware business in
Arlington. The group also
provided a display of Nick
Thomes and Thomes Broth-
ers newspaper ads which fea-
tured products no longer
found in stores. More than
100 people attended the cere-
mony, including some former
employees and several repre-
sentatives from the hardware
industry.
Goals
The AHS has several goals
for 2015.
1. The AHS has received
permission from the City of
Arlington to use a portion of
the old Fire Hall (police sta-
tion) for a museum. The AHS
will remodel that area of the
building and make it suitable
to display artifacts of Arling-
ton history. The AHS needs to
get estimates for the remodel-
ing costs and raise funds
through donations and grants
to cover the remodeling ex-
pense.
The AHS is planning the
opening exhibit for the new
museum by developing the
stories that the group has arti-
facts. The AHS has received
artifacts from Harold Brau
which pertain to the Clem
Brau Band and the Jolly
Lumberjacks Band. These
items will make up one of the
first displays in the museum.
Other artifacts will be used to
relate the stories of former
enterprises in Arlington.
Depending on the time
needed for the remodeling,
the AHS hopes to have the

Arlington Historical Society presents its
annual report to City Council at meeting
By Kurt Menk
Editor
Contrary to rumors in the
community, the Arlington
Good Samaritan Center and
Fairview Assisted Living fa-
cility are not closing.
“That is not on our radar,”
said Administrator Teresa
Hildebrandt. “We are not
closing. Our goal is to be a
vital part of the community.”
Hildebrandt said a meeting
with residents and their fami-
lies was recently held. The
purpose of the meeting was to
put a stop to the rumors and
inform people about the good
things happenings the local
nursing home and assisted
living facility.
An individual was recently
hired as a full-time mainte-
nance person.
Efforts are in the works to
upgrade meals with the quali-
ty and presentation of food.
There is interest to work
with the City of Arlington on
active aging in place efforts.
This would include the facili-
tation of a small Good
Samaritan Society corporate
grant program designed to
help a few senior citizens
each year. The goal would be
to have senior citizens live in
their own homes longer. This
is expected to start by early
this summer.
Overall, the Good Samari-
tan Society is committed to
the community and to pro-
vide the best service possible.
Hildebrandt, who also
serves as administrator at the
Good Samaritan Society
nursing home in Winthrop,
said the nursing home busi-
ness has changed dramatical-
ly since she began in the field
over 25 years ago.
The staff now cares for
much more involved patients
today. Some nursing home
residents would have been in
a hospital setting over 20
years ago.
Technology has also
changed over the years. For
example, there are now elec-
tronic patient records.
The Arlington Good
Samaritan Center currently
offers short-term rehabilita-
tion (physical, occupational
and speech therapies), hos-
pice, long-term care, IV anti-
biotic therapy, palliative care,
meals on wheels for the com-
munity, out-patient therapy
and available home care serv-
ice. In addition, the local
nursing home provides meals
for the Ridgeview Sibley
Medical Center in Arlington.
The Arlington Good
Samaritan Center will spon-
sor its annual Tour of Tables
event at the Community Cen-
ter on Saturday, April 18. The
proceeds from this event will
go to update the dining room.
Interested individuals or
groups who would like to
sponsor a table can contact
Tiffany Brockhoff, Senior
Living Manager and Employ-
ee & Community Relations
Director, at 507-964-2251.

The Sibley County Board
of Commissioners, during its
regular meeting on Tuesday
morning, Feb. 10, approved a
few Human Resources re-
quests.
Human Resources Director
Kim Moore made a request to
approve a wage increase for
Charles Fenger, deputy sher-
iff, from $17.90 to $19.01 per
hour. The board furthermore
approved Moore’s request to
remove the designation bailiff
from the position title for
Tom Frank. Frank’s position
title was deputy/bailiff. His
position title will now be
deputy sheriff. The title
change has no impact on his
duties or pay.
Moore also made a request
for an extended leave of ab-
sence, without pay, for a full-
time public works employee
and the establishment of a
designated vacation donation
bank. County employees can
donate their excess vacation
hours, but once they donate
them they will not get the
hours back.
The Board set the date for
the preliminary compensation
and classification study pres-
entation by Bjorklund Com-
pensation Consulting, LLC
for 1 p.m. Wednesday, March
18.
Two-Stage
Ditch Design
Nine area landowners were
present for the two-stage
ditch design presentation by
Chuck Brandel, PE a senior
civil engineer with I+S Group
(ISG). A two-stage ditch
should be put in where there
is frequent sloughing and ero-
sion, but may not work well
on very flat land. Brandel ex-
plained that a two-stage ditch
will not hold more water, but
it will have less erosion and
maintenance. A two-stage
ditch has a wider upper chan-
nel and a narrower inner
channel. Water stays in the
middle with no vegetation in
the inner channel. Natural
grasses outside the upper
channel are a beneficial
buffer and also provide a
habitat for wildlife. Brandel
stated that standard ditches
should be cleaned out every
10 years. In theory, a two-
stage ditch should only have
to be cleaned out every 20
years. Brandel also pointed
out that the two-stage ditch
can be done in sections. If a
ditch is five miles long, the
two-stage ditch does not have
to be done along the whole
five miles, it can be done
where it would be the most
beneficial. Brandel has been
monitoring a two-stage ditch
in Blue Earth County and has
been pleased with the results.
He expects to have a final re-
port on the Blue Earth Coun-
ty findings in June.
The Board of Commission-
ers will hold their next meet-
ing at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Feb.
24.

Employee Recognition
The Sibley County Board recently recognized
Kathy Franke, left, for her 29 years of service
to Sibley County. Franke recently retired from
her position as a Community Support Techni-
cian with Public Health and Human Services.
Sibley County Commissioner Bill Pinske,
right, presented a clock to Franke. The County
Board also recognized two new employees
with Sibley County. Danielle Amira is an Ac-
countant/Deputy Auditor in the Auditor’s Office
and Kelly Raddatz is an Elections Supervi-
sor/Deputy Auditor.
museum open sometime dur-
ing the summer months. The
hours and days that the muse-
um will be open to the public
will be determined by the
board at a later date.
2. The AHS intends to have
a web page which will pro-
vide public information about
the group and its activities.
3. The AHS continues to
search for photographs of
early Arlington mayors (presi-
dents of the Village Council)
for the gallery of mayors in
the City Council Chambers at
the Community Center. Pic-
tures of Christ Klinkert, Au-
gust Huckenpoehler, William
C. Porter and Albert Zimmer-
mann are known to exist, but
nothing suitable for copying
has been found.
4. In 2013, the AHS pro-
duced a power point presenta-
tion of the history of Arling-
ton Brick. The AHS would
like to turn that presentation
into a video which could be
viewed in schools or on some
other media. The AHS needs
to learn how to make recorded
video programs so that the
group can produce similar his-
tory presentations promoting
the history of Arlington.
5. The AHS needs to estab-
lish a systematic fundraising
program to ensure the contin-
ued operation of the group
and the museum. The City of
Arlington is providing the
building at no cost to the
AHS. However, the AHS
needs to raise funds to cover
the costs of operation such as
personal property and liability
insurance, office equipment
expenses, web page creation
and maintenance costs, main-
tenance of the exhibits, etc.
While grants may be available
for the creation of new ex-
hibits, the monies given for
such programs are usually in
the form of matching grants,
necessitating a fundraising
program before the grant is
given.
6. The Historic Structures
Committee of the AHS has
been collecting data on busi-
ness structures and houses in
the vicinity. The AHS is con-
sidering ways to recognize
those structures, which would
be considered historic, with a
plaque that could be attached
to the building or placed near-
by designating the property as
historic. The AHS has drafted
definitions and guidelines for
determining which properties
should be labeled historic.
The AHS Board will review
each application for historic

Tom Noack touched many
lives during his 30-year
tenure as a science teacher at
Sibley East.
Since he passed away in
December 2014, the school
has received a number of do-
nations in his memory, along
with a number of inquiries
about the possibility of estab-
lishing a memorial fund.
Junior High Principal Steve
Harter informed the school
board that a group is looking
into the possibility of forming
a Tom Noack Memorial fund.
There was an overwhelm-
ing response of former stu-
dents and community mem-
bers who are interested in
helping start the fund, Harter
said.
The committee, along with
school administration, will
look into whether or not the
district can start such a fund
or if it will need to be a pri-
vate entity.
To date three donations to-
talling $650 have been re-
ceived from Sibley East
classes of 2003, 2004 and
2005.
Depending on the amount
of funds received, the first
thing the group would like to
purchase is a weather station
for the science department.
Mr. Noack had always talked
about purchasing one for sci-
ence classes.
Noack was a science
teacher and coach at Sibley
East for 30 years. He had
taken a leave of absence for
the 2014-15 school year to
seek further treatment for
cancer. He died on Dec. 29,
2014, at the age of 58.
SE looking to establish a
Tom Noack Memorial Fund
Council late last year.
It was also the consensus of
the ad hoc committee to rec-
ommend the change of the
standard liquor fee to a sliding
scale based on the number of
people in attendance at an
event. This change was also
approved by the City Council
late last year.
In addition, it was the con-
sensus of the ad hoc commit-
tee to change the rental costs
for non-profit groups.
Under the previous rates,
the charge was $135 for a day
during the week and $210 for
a day on the weekend. How-
ever, cleaning expenses alone
were $200. Add the costs for
utilities and paper supplies,
the city was losing money on
most non-profit events.
It was the recommendation
from the ad hoc committee to
increase the rates for non-
profit groups to $220 from
Sunday through Thursday and
to $300 on Friday and Satur-
day.
These rate increases were
also approved by the City
Council late last year.
Finally, it was also the con-
sensus of the ad hoc commit-
tee to recommend a move
where organizations chartered
in the City of Arlington would
be charged the new non-profit
rate. Non-profit groups char-
tered outside of the communi-
ty would pay a higher rate.
That recommendation was
also approved by the City
Council in late 2014.
Improvements
The ad hoc committee also
recommended a number of
improvements at the Commu-
nity Center.
The City Council followed
through with a number of im-
provement projects to keep
the facility updated.
In 2014, the commons areas
were painted and new base
trim was installed.
The City Council made the
move to give the Community
Center a much more friendly
and inviting atmosphere.
A new water heater was
purchased and a portion of the
floor upstairs was replaced
because the water heater
leaked all over. An emergency
shut off was purchased for the
boilers and the entire kitchen
was rekeyed. Two new bars
were purchased to replace the
old non-compliant bars. In ad-
dition, a brand new LED elec-
tronic sign was purchased
while the panels and lighting
on the sign was replaced.
Bookings
There were 87 bookings at
the Community Center as of
Sunday, Feb. 1. There were
approximately 125 bookings
last year.
Contrary to rumors, no indi-
vidual or group has cancelled
their booking due to the im-
plementation or increase of
the fees.
People and groups who
would like to reserve a date at
the Community Center are en-
couraged to contact the Ar-
lington City Office at 507-
964-2378.

Minnesota State
Legislature has
201 total members
Our View: State could cut back dramatically
on number of legislators and save money
Letters To The Editor
The Minnesota State Legislature is divided into 67 districts and
voters elect one senator from each district. Every district is divid-
ed into two sections and voters elect one representative from
each section. That is 67 senators plus 134 representatives which
equals 201 members of the Minnesota State Legislature.
Is it really necessary to have that many members in the state
legislature? It would be a solid number if politicians looked out
for their constituents first and their party second, but that has not
been the case in Minnesota for years. If politicians continue to
look out for their own party first, the current number of legisla-
tors has little impact and just creates more chaos.
The end of a session is a good case in point. The governor and
major leaders from both parties always hold discussions on the
bigger issues down the stretch. These leaders frequently report
back to politicians in their respective parties about the progress
made during discussions. In other words, the top leaders inherit a
ton of power and other legislators do not even have a seat at the
table. They are told to follow the company line and how to vote
on the biggest of issues.
If politicians continue to follow this format of party loyalty
first, it does not matter if there are 201 legislators or 50 politi-
cians at the State Capitol. The result will always be the same.
Legislators will vote with their party and nothing will ever get
accomplished. The state might as well reduce the number of leg-
islators and at least save some money on their salaries and bene-
fits. The result will be the same anyway.
It is a shame that politicians do not have enough courage to
stand up to their party. People across the state are crying out for a
compromise on many issues, but politicians from both major par-
ties continue to hold true to their party and follow the company
line. In the end, the average taxpayer will be the big loser again.

An ex-farmer who became a
mayor of a small town noticed the
lawn in front of City Hall looked a
bit scraggly. “Guess we better throw
some cow manure on that grass,” he
told the clerk.
A bit later, the clerk observed to
the mayor’s secretary. “Someone
should tell the mayor to say fertilizer
instead of manure.”
“It might be better to leave well
enough alone,” the secretary ad-
vised. “It took his wife seven years
to get him to say manure.”
*****
The clerk in the coroner’s office
was puzzled when the young doctor
requested that he change a death cer-
tificate.
“Surely, you must know, Doctor,
that it’s against the rules,” said the
clerk.
“I know, but this is urgent,” the
young doctor pleaded. “You see in
the space marked ‘cause of death,’
I signed my name.”
*****
A little girl accompanied her fa-
ther to the post office. She had im-
mediately noticed the “Wanted”
posters pinned to the wall and asked
her father about them.
“Those are pictures of people the
police would like to catch,” her fa-
ther explained.
“But Daddy,” the little girl said,
“if the police wanted to catch
them, why didn’t they hold onto
them when they took their pic-
ture.”
*****
Greg, David and Jeff were moving
furniture. While Greg and David
were struggling with a particularly
heavy oak wardrobe, Greg noticed
that Jeff was nowhere in sight.
“David, where’s Jeff,” asked Greg.
“He should be helping us with this
thing!”
“He is helping,” said David.
“He’s inside holding the clothes
hanger in place.”
*****
An elderly man was on the operat-
ing table awaiting surgery. He insist-
ed that his son, a renowned surgeon,
perform the operation. As he was
about to receive anesthesia, he asked
to speak to his son.
“Yes, Dad, what is it?” the son
asked.
The Dad replied, “Don’t be
nervous. Do your best. And just
remember, if something happens
to me, your mother is going to
come and live with you and your
wife.”
*****
The first-time father, beside him-
self with excitement over the birth of
his son, was determined to do every-
thing right.
“So, tell me, nurse,” he asked as
his family headed out of the hospi-
tal door, “what time should we
wake the little guy in the morn-
ing.”
*****
To The Editor,
If you want a shining example of
the dramatic growth in government
during the Democrats’ two years of
single-party control, look no further
than the number of FTEs or “full
time equivalents” in government
agencies since 2012. A full-time
equivalent is approximately one
full-time employee or two part-time
employees.
From 2012 to 2015, Minnesota’s
government has grown by 5,725
FTEs. That’s more new government
workers in the past couple of years
than most of the towns in our district
have for population.
When you add up all of the
salaries, benefits, and other costs as-
sociated, it’s clear this has been an
incredibly expensive expansion of
government.
What’s worse, Governor Dayton
has proposed increasing that number
even more in his budget proposal for
the next two years.
We simply can’t keep growing the
number of government employees
and asking taxpayers to pick up the
tab. It’s not sustainable. We need
policies that promote strong, thriv-
ing private-sector job growth if we
want our government budget to re-
main sustainable without asking
Minnesotans to pay even more than
they already do.
Over the coming weeks, we will
continue to scrutinize the Gover-
nor’s budget proposal and look for
ways to keep FTE growth in check,
only adding positions where they are
absolutely needed to provide the
basic services Minnesotans expect.
Commissioner
Salary Increases
One week after we learned of
more than $800,000 in pay increases
approved by Governor Dayton, the
Senate overwhelmingly voted on a
bipartisan basis to suspend the pay
increases for six months to give the
legislature time to determine what to
do about the situation.
Minnesotans are upset about these
dramatic pay increases at a time
when most family take-home pay is
flat, and want to see the raises re-
moved or changed.
The House is expected to take ac-
tion on the pay raises this week. I
will keep you updated on that situa-
tion as well.
Glenn Gruenhagen
State Representative
R-Glencoe
Minnesota government growth is not sustainable
To The Editor,
In my most recent weekly update,
I briefly mentioned the supplemen-
tal budget bill, or deficiency bill,
that is being carried by Senator
Cohen. I would like to elaborate a
bit on this bill as it is worthy of dis-
cussion and has recently been
passed on the senate floor.
This bill appropriates an addition-
al $15 million to pay for overspend-
ing by various state agencies from
the previous budget. I voted against
this bill because it retroactively au-
thorizes $15 million that state agen-
cies did not have authority to spend.
One particular example involves
the Health and Human Services
Agency (HHS) creating its own de-
ficiency. After the last session HHS
wrote new rules regarding licensure
requirements. HHS then implement-
ed these new rules and when it did,
found the St. Peter Security Hospital
in violation of the new rules. This
resulted in 56 new employees
(FTEs) and $10 million to come into
compliance with the new rules, all
occurring without any legislative
input.
This is just one example of why
the legislature should not backfill
state agency budgets when they
spend more money than authorized.
Also remember that the agency lead-
ers responsible for this deficiency
are the same individuals Governor
Dayton has just proposed to give
significant pay raises. This is mis-
Newman Letter
Continued on page 5
Proposed bill rewards for bad behavior
To The Editor,
At the Green Isle informational
meeting on Oct. 8, 2014, the subject
of growth came up. My research
says that the population of Sibley
County was 16,228 in 1960. The
Sibley County census on July 15,
2014, was 15,074. Since then, Tech-
nical Services has left and Seneca
Foods is closing. How many left?
Let’s put everything on hold and
see what happens with Representa-
tive Steve Drazkowski’s bill (HF
596). If it passes, this is an estimated
example, 1,400 farm and city homes
in the Sibley East School District
could all be assessed $2,075. This
would yield $2,905,000 per year.
Some would be more, some less de-
pending on the assessed values. This
would be fair.
The Ehlers chart shows yearly pay
out of $2,910,000 for 25 years. We
must bear in mind, with the present
referendum, that amount of money
will leave the Sibley East School
District every year for 25 years. This
is not realistic. Those dollars will
have no local buying power.
Another illustration, when we put
gas in our cars, the pump does not
ask, “What is our profession?”
Everybody pays the same federal
and state gas tax per gallon.
At the first Task Force meeting
last summer, two people from Green
Isle attended. Superintendent Jim
Amsden introduced the speaker. The
speaker then explained all the op-
tions from the most expensive to the
most conservative plan. But at the
very end he said, “You don’t have to
do anything if you don’t want to.”
The Task Force then chose the most
expensive option.
I mentioned that in 1978 Arling-
ton-Green Isle had 107 in the gradu-
ation class. Then I read that Gaylord
had 64 that year. A man from Gay-
lord corrected me, he said it was 84.
Later someone from Gaylord told
me they had 99 graduates in 1977.
We must remember, all these stu-
dents were in the same buildings we
have now. We have many school
buildings in the District. We have
two gymnasiums in Arlington, two
in Gaylord and one in Green Isle
and they want to build new gymna-
siums.
The combined cities of Arlington,
Gaylord and Green Isle currently or
in recent years graduated only 80 or
90. So where is the room shortage.
Sibley County nor student popula-
tion is growing and higher taxes do
not bring growth.
An aging county and declining
enrollment should ask, “Is this
something we need or something we
want? Let’s be realistic and remodel.
I’m for education, but we can’t af-
ford $43,045, 000 principal and
$28,129, 900 interest - total
$72,177,009.
Dynamics of this referendum have
raised comments. One is the factor
of our current superintendent living
in St. Peter and former Superintend-
ent Jones from Tracy. Second exam-
ple are the wonderful prayers from
Nathan Kranz before their group
meetings and hearings. And this is a
radio announcement noting, “It is
not a fancy environment that makes
a successful education.”
And I’d like to add Psalm 37:30.
“The mouth of the righteous speaks
wisdom, and his tongue talks of jus-
tice.”

born in rural Brownton,
Round Grove Township,
McLeod County, on April 13,
1929. She was the daughter
of Walter and Minnie
(Kloempken) Polzin. Dorothy
was baptized as an infant at
St. Matthew’s Lutheran
Church in Fernando Town-
ship, rural Stewart, and was
later confirmed in her faith as
a youth at Immanuel Luther-
an Church in Brownton on

moved to Darwin. They
shared 53 years of marriage
until Charles passed away on
March 8, 1999. Dorothy later
resided in Arlington for many
years and later moved to Das-
sel. In 2011, Dorothy moved
to the Harmony River Living
Center in Hutchinson.
Dorothy was employed at
Fingerhut in Gaylord as a
seamstress for 25 years. She
was a member of Peace
Lutheran Church in Arling-

the church ladies aid.
Dorothy was also a member
of several card clubs.
Dorothy enjoyed fishing,
camping, bowling, playing
cards and listening to old
time music. She was an avid
Minnesota Twins fan.
Dorothy enjoyed traveling
and going on trips to casinos.
She especially enjoyed

Delores Bertha Dupslaff,
90, long-time resident of Ar-
lington, passed away peace-
fully on
We d n e s -
day, Feb. 4.
Born on
a farm out-
side of
Green Isle
in 1924,
she is pre-
ceded in
death by
her par-
ents, Bertha and Gustav Dup-
slaff, her sister, Helen, and
her brother, Ralph. Delores’
remaining sister, Harriet
Luehrs, lives in Chicago.
Delores was loved and cher-
ished by all her extended
family - nieces and nephews,
grand-nieces and grand-
nephews. We all have count-
less fond memories of her
reading us books, rocking a
sleeping baby, having a tea
party or playing dolls and sit-
ting at the kid table when
someone misbehaved. Before
there was Amazon Prime and
online ordering, Delores was
the one who stood in line to
buy a newly released Star
Wars toy, Cabbage Patch Doll
or Santa Bear. She never
missed anyone’s birthday,
sending a card with two or
three very crisp, newly mint-
ed dollar bills that arrived
right on time. It was always
a treat to meet Delores in
downtown Minneapolis to see
the Dayton’s windows dis-
plays and eighth floor audito-
rium for Christmas.
Prior to living in Arlington
full-time, she lived near West
33rd Street and Blaisdell in
Minneapolis, working at both
the Star Tribune and Eber-
hardt Realty. She drove out
to Arlington faithfully every
weekend returning to Min-
neapolis Sunday evenings.
Delores loved the color pink
and was always smartly
dressed with coordinating ac-
cessories and her ever-present
lipstick.
All of her family are lucky
to have had Delores in their
lives, as both children and
adults, and we all cherish our
wonderful memories of her.
There will be no services
held and a private interment
only.
Arrangements were with
the Kolden Funeral Home in
Arlington.

Two runaways were reported
last week, both occurring in the

Thursday morning and the day
before the Schnobrich team also
took a notion to take a little

The Arlington Creamery As-
sociation had another successful
year in 1959. There was an in-
crease of 2 1/2 million pounds
of milk and 100,000 pounds of
fat for the year. For the first time
in the creamery’s history over 1
million dollars business was
done in one year. Since 1951
$92,000 was returned to the pa-
trons in cash patronage equities.
In an advertisement for a
1960 Ford Falcon, by Mueller
Brothers, Arlington resident
William Kube, Sr. stated: “I’m
getting up to 36 miles per gallon
of regular gasoline.” “Not only
do I have real economy in my
Ford Falcon, but I have plenty
of room with comfort and it sure
drives and handles swell.”

Mrs. Robert Bade was baptized

Dick Thomes was injured last
week when he fell off a snow-

snowmobile. Barry Thomes,
brother of Dick, said it was like
“hitting a field approach.” Ray
Haggenmiller is building a spe-

working on a safety belt to be
worn, but there is concern that
having Dick tied in would be
taking too much of a chance on
not being able to repair the ma-
chine. We are all happy to see
that Dick is again back on the
street and went to see the North
Stars on Saturday.

I would like to thank all of
you who provided me with
your input regarding my re-
cent newsletter dealing with
the transportation budget. I
very much appreciated the re-
sponses. While admittedly it
was a very unscientific poll
and no unanimous agreement
on any one single funding
idea, the overall theme I have
taken away from your re-
sponses is that you are op-
posed to a sales tax on gaso-
line. Other than that, every-
thing else appears to be open
for discussion and on the
table.
As always I would like to
hear your thoughts so please

Working people should not
be trapped in poverty.
This was part of the social
contract America made with
its people eighty years ago in
the New Deal: Workers will
receive a minimum wage. It
may not be enough to make
you rich, but you will have
enough to afford necessities
for your family - food, hous-
ing, clothing, medical care.
We are far from fulfilling
that social contract. Econom-
ic hardship affects many: one
of every three Minnesota
children are in families strug-
gling to make ends meet.
One in ten households have
times when family members
go hungry because they have
no money for food. There are
working people who go
“home” from their jobs to a
homeless shelter at night, be-
cause they cannot afford
housing.
Many of these families feel
they have been left behind, as
others accumulate ever-
greater wealth. Their frustra-
tion leaves some with a sense
of helplessness and apathy,
even about voting.
Despite ample political
rhetoric about “supporting the
middle class,” neither party
has had the courage to back
initiatives to end poverty,
even among working fami-
lies.
The public believes work-
ing people should not live in
poverty. The only public
opinion poll I have seen on
the issue showed a virtual
consensus - 94 percent of
Americans agree with the
statement: “As a country, we
should make sure people who
work full-time are able to
earn enough to keep their
families out of poverty.”
People understand that this is
a matter of fairness.
Back in 2007, Minnesota
created a legislative commis-
sion to examine how we
could end poverty by the year
2020. Our bipartisan com-
mission recognized that jus-
tice for low income workers
means those workers need
higher wages, some other
means of paying for necessi-
ties, or a combination of both.
Since the Poverty Commis-
sion issued its final report in
2009, Minnesota has made
little progress with the excep-
tion of last year's increase in
the minimum wage. With a
public consensus that workers
should not live in poverty, it
is time we take action.
I introduced legislation,
Senate File 890, to ensure
workers can afford basic ne-
cessities:
- The phased-in increase in
the minimum wage would
continue beyond the
$9.50/hour in 2016. The leg-
islation would add 75¢/hour
every year from 2017 through
2020, when it would reach
$12.50/hour.
- Even at that wage level,
some workers will not be able
to pay for basic needs, so the
legislation would more than
double Minnesota’s Working
Family Tax Credit - a credit
designed to help working
people make ends meet. The
credit would jump to 120% of
the federal Earned Income
Tax Credit. A one parent, one
child family earning about
$23,000 would receive $3000
from the Minnesota credit (up
from about $940 - a boost of
about $2000/year.)
- The bill increases access
to affordable childcare, elimi-
nating the 7,000 family wait-
ing list for the Child Care As-
sistance Program, and sub-
stantially increasing the pay-
ments so low income parents
have a better choice of
providers and childcare
providers get decent compen-
sation.
- To help create jobs, the
proposal reestablishes the
MEED (Minnesota Emer-
gency Employment Develop-
ment) jobs program, a simple
but highly effective initiative
to assist small businesses in
hiring the unemployed.
MEED, which was created
during a recession thirty
years ago, has been described
as the most effective job cre-
ation program in any state in
the last half century.
Although this particular
bill does not address health
care needs, in conjunction
with proposed universal
health care legislation, this
legislation would help lift all
workers and their families out
of poverty.
The Worker Dignity bill
(SF 890) will improve the
lives of all low income work-
ers and their families, boost
their productivity, and stimu-
late the economy.
It is not a radical approach.
It would not deliver econom-
ic security for workers imme-
diately. However, it would be
the biggest step towards ful-
filling the goal of the Min-
nesota's Commission to End
Poverty by 2020.
Now, let’s talk real politics.
This bill is not likely to pass
because it would require both
businesses and government to
do more. In politics, rhetoric
about supporting workers is
easier than action, especially
when the idea of a living
wage for all workers is con-
sidered unrealistic.
That must change. The
current reality, where some
hardworking people can’t af-
ford food or housing, is not
acceptable. This is a matter
of justice.
And, with more than nine
of ten people supporting
wage justice, it is a fight we
can win.

It’s always fun to talk
about scoring records in bas-
ketball. That talk seems to
surface when an old scoring
record is broken and a new
mark is set.
Senior Zac Weber, accord-
ing to Wolverine statistics, set
a Sibley East boys basketball
single game scoring record
when he hooped 46 points in
a recent 90-88 loss to visiting
Howard Lake-Waverly.
Prior to this feat, fans in
Arlington and Green Isle
would talk about two single
game scoring records that oc-
curred in the late 1960s and
1980s.
Larry Marquardt set a sin-
gle game scoring record for
the Arlington-Green Isle Indi-
ans late in 1968. On Friday
night, Dec. 6, 1968, Mar-
quardt scored a record 43
points and grabbed 18 re-
bounds in a 76-74 loss at Le
Sueur.
What is interesting about
this feat is that Le Sueur’s
Joe Driscoll pumped in 56
points during the same game.
Green Isle resident Joe
Kreger, who played in that
game for A-GI, said Driscoll
would have scored 60-plus
points had the three-point
shot been in effect that night.
A-GI senior Tom Zaske
broke that record and set a
new mark with 45 points in a
67-63 loss to visiting Nor-
wood Young America on Fri-
day night, Jan. 8, 1988.
Zaske, who did not score in
the first quarter, scored nine
points in the second quarter
and added 36 points in the
second half. Overall, Zaske
drilled nine three-point shots.

A wild turkey struts into
the open not far from a
hunter sitting camouflaged
against a tree. Fast forward
and the hunter serves this
same turkey as the main
dish on a table of sustain-
able and healthy food.
“More people want local-
ly sourced, sustainable food,
and interest is growing in
using hunting as a way to
obtain it,” said Jay Johnson,
hunter recruitment and re-
tention supervisor for the
Minnesota Department of
Natural Resources.
To capitalize on this inter-
est, the DNR in conjunction
with Seward Co-op is host-
ing From Field to Feast:
Minnesota’s Wild Turkey
Hunting Opportunities from
6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. Thurs-
day, Feb. 26, in the co-op
classroom.
Johnson said the class is
for those who have an inter-
est in learning more about
turkey hunting and how to
take wild turkey from field
to feast. As part of the pres-
entation, he will outline
turkey hunting and take ap-
plications for the agency’s
adult Learn to Hunt Wild
Turkey program.
“Learn to Hunt Wild
Turkey is a multi-session,
all-inclusive curriculum
that’s designed to take a per-
son with no knowledge or
skills related to turkeys and
turkey hunting and move
them to a point where they
are equipped to begin their
journey as a safe, ethical
and knowledgeable turkey
hunter,” Johnson said.
For details about the Feb.
26 class and to register, call
612-338-2465. To learn
more about hunting for the
first time, contact Johnson
at 651-259-5191 or

Buffalo Creek Cattlemen
will hold a re-organizational
meeting in the Sibley Room
at the Sibley County Service
Center Building in Gaylord at
7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 26.
People interested in the
beef industry are encouraged
to attend.
The meeting will feature a
discussion on the activities of
the cattlemen and cattle-
women organizations, plans
for the summer tour, new
leadership elections and fu-
ture plans for the Buffalo
Creek Cattlemen.
The Buffalo Creek Cattle-
men is an affiliate of the Min-
nesota State Cattlemen’s As-
sociation. Buffalo Creek Cat-
tlemen serves cattlemen and
women from the counties of
Carver, Kandiyohi, McLeod,
Meeker, Renville, Sibley and
Wright. The organization is
also open to anyone close to
these counties that would like
to join.
As membership based or-
ganizations, Buffalo Creek
Cattlemen helps the MN State
Cattlemen’s Association sup-
port the interest of farmers
and others involved in the
cattle industry. The organi-
zation is primarily focused on
addressing local, state and
federal issues that impact the
long-term viability of cattle
farming, and ensuring that
Minnesota's business climate
welcomes the growth and
long-term success of raising
cattle in Minnesota.
Joining the Buffalo Creek
Cattlemen is the first step to
becoming involved in activi-
ties that promote the beef in-
dustry and provide consumer
education.

meeting in Gaylord on Thursday evening, Feb. 26
The University of Min-
nesota has developed a series
of videos to assist individuals
and families to begin to fi-
nancially recover following a
disaster.
The videos entitled “Finan-
cial Recovery After Disaster”
were developed for disaster
professionals and volunteers
to use in disaster recovery sit-
uations, as well as for indi-
viduals to view and under-
stand items that may need to
be addressed immediately
after a disaster event occurs.
According to Extension Edu-
cator, Lori Hendrickson,
“Several years ago, the Uni-
versity of Minnesota Exten-
sion developed Recovery
After Disaster: The Family
Financial Toolkit. The videos
take the information in our
toolkit and provide specific
information that can help
someone with their immedi-
ate needs.” The videos are
short in length and accessible
via smartphone or tablet.
Hendrickson indicates that
was done with intention,
“Very often after a disaster,
we don’t have access to our
computer and printer, but we
probably have a smartphone
we can access.”
The video topics include:
• Bouncing Back and
Adapting: stressing the im-
portance of resilience
• Finding Help: under-
standing where to find people
who can assist
• My Finances: discussing
important papers and examin-
ing changing income and ex-
penses
• Insurance Coverage: un-
derstanding the insurance
coverage and working with
an agent
• FEMA and SBA: navigat-
ing the disaster assistance op-
tions available
• Exploring My Options:
looking at the long-term situ-
ation and reviewing all possi-
bilities available
The videos were made pos-
sible through a USDA/NIFA
Smith-Lever Special Needs
grant to the University of
Minnesota Extension and
North Dakota State Extension
Service. The videos will be
made available to emergency
managers and disaster recov-
ery organizations for use.
They are also accessible at:

Sibley County Emergency
Management and the Na-
tional Weather Service will
host a skywarn spotter train-
ing in the Sibley County
Emergency Operation Cen-
ter in the courthouse lower
level at 7 p.m. Wednesday,
March 11.
The training is open to all
interested parties. There is
no charge for the training.
However, pre-registration is
required no later than Mon-
day, March 9. Individuals
wishing to attend the class
can pre-register by calling
Sibley County Emergency
Management at (507) 237-
4109. Please leave your
name and contact phone
number.
This course will teach the
basic skills necessary to be-
come a weather spotter.
Storm spotters help their
communities by participat-
ing in an organized effort to
watch for approaching
storms and warn of the for-
mation of tornadoes or other
threatening severe weather.
Even with the use of
Doppler radar equipment,
there is a need for spotters
in the field. Radar can only
detect the parent circulation
that spawns tornadoes; in-
formation is needed about
whether tornadoes are actu-
ally being produced and
their precise location.
For additional informa-
tion please contact the Sib-
ley County Emergency

Data from the aerial moose
survey just completed indi-
cate that the downward trend
in the statewide moose popu-
lation continues, even though
there has been no statistical
change in the population dur-
ing the past few years.
Results of the Minnesota
Department of Natural Re-
sources’ annual aerial moose
survey place the 2015
statewide moose population
estimate at 3,450. This com-
pares with estimates of 4,350
in 2014 and 2,760 in 2013.
“All wildlife population
surveys have inherent degrees
of uncertainty,” said Lou Cor-
nicelli, DNR wildlife re-
search manager. “Long-term
trend and population esti-
mates are more informative
and significant than annual
point estimates.”
Overall, the number of
moose is down approximately
60 percent from the 2006 es-
timate of 8,840.
The DNR has conducted
aerial moose population sur-
veys in northeastern Min-
nesota since 1960. A spotter
counts moose as a pilot flies a
helicopter across 52 random-
ly selected plots of 13 square
miles.
“Survey conditions this
year were generally good
across moose range, although
there was much less snow
compared to last year,” said
Cornicelli.
The DNR’s ongoing moose
mortality research project
also is providing important
information on population
status.
“This year, 11 percent of
collared adult moose died, as
compared to 21 percent last
year. Although adult mortali-
ty was slightly lower, which
is good, the number of calves
that survive to their first year
has also been low,” Cornicelli
said. “This indicates the pop-
ulation will likely continue to
decline in the foreseeable fu-
ture.”
The adult and calf moose
mortality studies are in their
third year. As part of several
studies, researchers will radio
collar an additional 36 adult
moose in the next couple of
weeks. Another 50 newborn
calves will be collared this
spring. Researchers hope in-
formation and insights gath-
ered during the studies will
help identify potential popu-
lation and habitat manage-
ment options that may stop or
slow the long-term popula-
tion decline.
Final decisions about
moose hunting are made after
the DNR consults with the af-
fected Chippewa bands in the
1854 Treaty ceded territory of
northeastern Minnesota. The
DNR discontinued moose
hunting in 2013 until the pop-
ulation could support a hunt.
The Fond du Lac Band of
Lake Superior Chippewa and
the 1854 Treaty Authority
contribute funding and pro-
vide personnel for the annual
aerial survey. Most of the
funding for the ongoing
moose research project is pro-
vided by the Environmental
and Natural Resources Trust
Fund as recommended by the
Legislative-Citizen Commis-
sion on Minnesota Resources
(LCCMR).
A copy of the 2015 aerial
survey is available online.
The Web page also provides
information on the DNR’s
ongoing moose mortality re-
search project.

Henry Boucha, former
Minnesota North Stars
hockey player and Olympic
athlete, will be a winter
speaker at the Gaylord Pub-
lic Library at 7 p.m. Tues-
day, Feb. 24.
He will talk about his
book, “Henry Boucha,
Ojibwa; Native American
Olympian.” The book de-
tails his highs and lows as
an Ojibwa hockey player.
Boucha played high
school hockey for Warroad
High School and led his
team to the state tourna-
ment in 1969. He is consid-
ered one of the best players
to ever play Minnesota high
school hockey.
While serving in the U.S.
Army, Boucha joined the
United States national ice
hockey team on a full-time
basis in 1970 as the U.S.
won the “Pool B” qualifica-
tion tournament. He partici-
pated in the 1971 Ice Hock-
ey World Championships in
Bern, Switzerland, where
he scored seven goals in 10
games for Team USA.
Boucha was also one of the
biggest stars of the 1972
United States Olympic
hockey team that received
the silver medal.
He played 247 games
over six seasons in the Na-
tional Hockey League for
the Detroit Red Wings,
Minnesota North Stars,
Kansas City Scouts and
Colorado Rockies. His ca-
reer was cut short by an eye
injury.
