iPads sent in for repairs. She
said that it is estimated that
around 80 will have to be

She said that she is seeing

It’s a 3-peat for Nathan Rose
By Kurt Menk
Editor
Sibley East senior Nathan
Rose, for the third consecu-
tive year, captured first place
honors in the 195-pound
weight division during the
Minnesota State Class A
Wrestling Tournament at the
Xcel Energy Center in St.
Paul on Saturday, March 1.
Rose was the first Sibley
East wrestler to win a state
title two years ago and now is
the first Wolverine grappler to
win three consecutive state
championships.
“I was excited to win,” said
Rose. “I was a lot more nerv-
ous this year. I didn’t want to
disappoint everyone expect-
ing me to win. But if you
don’t wrestle smart and your
best anything can happen.”
Rose continued, “I’m re-
lieved that it’s over and I won
it again. It was a little hard
coming off the mat knowing
it was my last high school
match.”
Rose added, “I’ve enjoyed
my high school career and
I’m going to miss it. I’ve very
thankful to everyone that has
always supported me from
my family, friends, coaches,
team and community. They
have all been a great support
system.”
Rose pinned Atwater-Cos-
mos-Grove City senior Cody
Berghuis 0:38 in the opening
round.
In the quarter-final round,
Rose decisioned Triton senior
Lucas Etchason 10-4.
In the semi-final round,
Rose won by a major decision
over Grand Meadow-Kings-
land-LeRoy-Ostrander junior
Wyatt Richardson 9-1.
Rose, in the championship
match, won by a major deci-
sion over Windom-Mountain
Lake senior Vince Johnson
11-3.
“I was really happy for
Nathan to end his career the
way he did,” said Sibley East
head coach Chad Johnson.
“It’s horrible to lose a kid like
Nathan. For four years we ex-
pected him to win all the
time. You don’t replace a guy
like Nathan with another guy.
It takes about three to four
guys that give you all the
things that Nathan has given
this program.”
Johnson added, “I do look
forward to watching him
work at the next level.”
Rose concluded the season
with a 45-1 record overall. In
addition, he compiled a 135-1
record during the past three
seasons.
He is the son of Tony and
Jenny Rose, Arlington.
State Champs
The former Arlington-
Green Isle and Gaylord high
schools also produced state
champions in wrestling.
A-GI wrestler Darren Cain
won the state title as a junior
at 155 pounds in 1987.
Cain also won the state title
as a senior at 167 pounds in
1988.
Gaylord wrestler Greg Berg
captured the state title at 180
pounds in 1976.
Gaylord wrestler Paul Som-
mers also won the state title at
145 pounds in 1977.

The Arlington City Coun-
cil, during its regular meeting
on Monday night, March 3,
talked about the widespread
frozen water service lines in
some places.
Due to the continuous ex-
treme cold weather this win-
ter, the frost table is lower
than previous years, accord-
ing to City Administrator
Liza Donabauer. The city, as
a result, has been notified of
several water service lines
which have frozen in the
area.
The water service line, ac-
cording to Donabauer, runs
from the city-owned water
main to inside a home or
business and is the responsi-
bility of the property owner.
The risk of frozen service
lines could continue for sev-
eral weeks or even months.
“The most likely spot for
water lines to freeze is where
there is the least amount of
snow cover,” said Donabauer.
“A means to determine your
risk of a potential freeze up is
by taking the temperature of
the water from the nearest
fixture possible from the
service line coming into the
house. Run your cold water
for a couple minutes and then
take the temperature of the
water from this. If it is below
40 degrees Fahrenheit, you
are at an increased risk of
freeze up and should consider
letting your cold water run
from this faucet at a thickness
of a pencil.”
Running a constant stream
of water about the width of a
pencil is an effective method
to prevent freezing, according
to Donabauer. People who
run the water at this level will
average .25gpm or about one-
quarter gallon of water per
minute. This equals 10,800
gallons in 30 days. Property
owners should please note
that this minimal trickle of
water will increase a water
and sewer bill. In contrast,
the cost of thawing a service
line can be very expensive
and a big hassle.
Property owners who in-
tend to take the precaution
and run their water are en-
couraged to contact the city
staff, according to Don-
abauer. The City Council will
discuss how to reconcile the
additional water and sewer
costs to customers.
People who have any ques-
tions or believe they may
have incurred frozen service
should please contact the Ar-
lington City Office at 507-
964-2378.

a
been reported total $4,417 to
the district. Of that amount,
$150 has been recouped from
the parents/students.
Police reports are filed on
each lost, stolen or missing
iPad.
Keeping track of the fees
owed by students has been a
challenge for the tech team.
There are a number of options
that were selected by the par-
ents/students when it comes to
damages.
Option one is to pay the
tech fee and the $35 for the
damaged case. The second op-
tion is to continue to use the
damaged case and if there is
damage to the iPad, the par-
ents would be billed for that
damage.
Wills also reported that
most of the damage that the
team sees is from drops and
broken cases, with more com-
ing from the junior high in
Gaylord.
The tech team began billing
parents/students through Infi-
nite Campus earlier this
month. This streamlines the
process for collecting and
tracking what is owed and
what has been paid.
Next year will be the third
year of the project. The Ap-
pleCare, the warranty plan,
will start to expire in May.
The question is what is Sib-
ley East going to do in the up-
coming years.
Up to now, the district has
self insured the project, col-
lecting a technology fee for
each student, paired with the
AppleCare warranty.
After this year, the district
will have to pay the full cost
of any repairs or replace-
ments. Now they only pay
$49.
Wills presented the board
with an insurance quote from
Worth Avenue Group, the
same company that Gibbon
Fairfax Winthrop (GFW)
uses.
GFW has a similar iPad
project.
The insurance policy would
cover accidental damage in-
cluding drops, cracked screen
and spills; liquid submersion,
theft, fire/flood damage, van-
dalism, natural disaster, and
power surge due to lightning.
The deductible would be
$50 per claim. Policy rates are
$36-79 per iPad depending on
a one or two year plan.
There would be a little
more leg work for the district,
going with the independent
insurance.
The repairs would be done
through Apple and the district
would be billed directly. The
district would then have to
submit a claim to the insur-
ance company for reimburse-
ment.
Another issue for the board
to start to consider is the re-
placement of the current stock
of iPads.
The district has a three-year
lease on the current iPads in
use. After the three-year peri-
od the district will own the
iPads.
Wills reported that the pres-
ent day trade-in value of the
current iPads is $206. This is
estimated to be around $150
in the next year.
The iPads cost $479 apiece
when the district purchased
them two years ago.
The technology committee
will meet in the next couple of
weeks to start to talk about
what next steps for district
should be.

At 2 a.m. on the morning of
Sunday, March 9, people will
be springing their clocks for-
ward, and losing an hour of
the day, for Daylight Saving
Time. The good news: sunsets
will be an hour later.
People may have noticed
the annual tradition of Day-
light Saving Time has crept
forward a bit. People used to
spring forward on the first
Sunday in April and fall back
on the last Sunday in October.
But a couple years ago, Con-
gress changed the date and
added more Daylight Saving
Time to the calendar.
Daylight Saving Time is at 2 a.m. Sunday, March 9

The Arlington Fire Depart-
ment responded to a dump-
ster fire inside Scott Equip-
ment at 9:04 p.m. Friday,
Feb. 28, according to Fire
Chief John Zaske.
A system inside the build-

There was minor damage.
The local fire department
was on the scene for approxi-
mately 50 minutes, according
to Zaske.
The local fire department,
according to Zaske, already

The Arlington City Coun-
cil, during its regular meeting
on Monday night, March 3,
unanimously approved a mo-
tion to authorize the discipli-
nary action of a three-day
suspension without pay for
Maintenance Supervisor
Jason Lovaas for using city
equipment for personal gain.
City Council members
James Jaszewski, Jennifer
Nuesse, Curt Reetz, Jason
Ruehling and Galen Wills all
voted in favor of the motion.
The recommendation was
made by the Employee Rela-
tions Committee which con-
sists of Nuesse and Reetz.
The City Council initially
discussed the topic during a
closed session on Monday
evening, March 3. The City
Council later reconvened the
regular meeting and took the
official vote.
In light of the winter
weather conditions and con-
cern for proper attention to
street maintenance, the three-
day unpaid suspension will
be completed in a timely but
appropriate fashion, accord-
ing to City Administrator
Liza Donabauer.
“Staff and council do rec-
ognize that the maintenance
of our city streets is a priority.
The disciplinary action will
be fulfilled accordingly,” said
Donabauer.
Lovaas offered explana-
tions for using the city equip-
ment/vehicle.
Lovaas said, “I got a last
minute notice that my wife
couldn’t make it to town to
get our son from his after
school program. He was al-
ready waiting for a parent to
come so I picked him up and
brought him home.”
Lovaas continued, “My
wife had to bring our son to
the doctor for a bad ear infec-
tion. I was suppose to clear
the driveway for her as the
snow was too heavy for her
to shovel. I was running be-
hind because I was pulling an
employee out of alleys be-
cause the snow was too heavy
for the truck to plow.”
City Council votes 5-0 to suspend
employee for 3 days without pay

Clean up efforts continue
in the metals shop at the Sib-
ley East Senior High School
after the fire on Tuesday
morning, Feb. 25, according
to Superintendent Jim Ams-
den.
Service Master Recovery
Management has been hired
to handle the clean up after
the fire, according to Mainte-
nance Supervisor Bob Pichel-
mann. The company has been
working seven days a week to
complete the job. The hope is
to have the clean up complet-
ed within two to three weeks.
Pichelmann said it is difficult
to specify a definite date be-
cause Sibley East does not
know how much can be
cleaned and how much needs
to be replaced.
Pichelmann added that a
variety of local contractors
will be used to complete elec-
trical and ventilation work
along with roof inspections.
The nearby FFA classroom
is already back in use, ac-
cording to Pichelmann. He
indicated that the nearby
woods shop could be ready in
about a week.
Aside from the deductible,
insurance will cover all clean
up and replacement costs.
Materials ignited in the
metals shop as students were
working on classroom proj-
ects when the fire occurred
on Tuesday morning, Feb. 25.
Clean up efforts continue after Sibley East fire

Our View: Rural communities

Opinions
Letters To The Editor
The Arlington Enterprise tries very hard to have a bal-
ance of community and school news and pictures in its
newspaper every week throughout the year. Aside from
the monthly School Board meetings, however, it can be
very difficult to include school news during the summer
months. On the other side of the coin, school news and
pictures can dominate the newspaper at times from Sep-
tember through June.
This week’s edition of the Arlington Enterprise is a
good example of how school news and pictures can fill
most of the newspaper. That is a good problem though be-
cause schools are so important in a rural community.
Rural communities, like Arlington, Green Isle and Gay-
lord, tend to revolve around their schools. In addition to
the obvious role of educating children, schools also serve
as centers for civic education, community employment
and a variety of activities and events. They are the heart of
a rural community.
These schools also create a lot of positive news. And
when that happens, this newspaper will be there to cover
it.

An old farmer is inconsolable after
his dog goes missing. He takes out
an ad in the newspaper, but two
weeks later, there’s still no sign of
the mutt.
“What did you write in the ad?”
his wife asks. “
“Here, boy,” he replies.
*****
A man walks into a restaurant and
says, “How do you prepare your
chickens?”
The cook replies, “Nothing spe-
cial. We just tell ‘em they’re gonna
die.”
*****
A couple of dog owners are argu-
ing about whose pet is smarter.
“My dog is so smart,” says the
first owner, “that every morning he
waits for the paperboy to come
around. He tips the kid and then
brings the newspaper to me, along
with my morning coffee.”
“I know,” says the second owner.
"How do you know?" the first
owner asks.
“My dog told me.” replies the
second owner.
*****
A couple couldn’t decide which
jacket to buy their granddaughter, so
they asked the young salesman.
“If you were buying a jacket for
your girlfriend,” the man said, “what
would you get?”
“A bulletproof one,” the sales-
man replied. “I’m married.”
*****
The new family in the neighbor-
hood overslept and their six-year-old
daughter missed her school bus. Her
father had to drive her. Since he did
not know the way, he said that she
would have to direct him to the
school.
They rode several blocks before
she told him to turn left, several
more before she indicated a right
turn. This went on for 20 minutes -
left, right, right, left - but they final-
ly reached the school. Then her fa-
ther realized they were only five
blocks from home.
Much annoyed, the father asked
his daughter why she’d led him
around in such a circle.
“That's the way the school bus
goes, Daddy,” the child explained.
“It's the only way I know.”
*****
Mary announced that she was
going to start a diet to lose a few
pounds she had put on recently.
“Great,” Eva exclaimed. “I' m
ready to start a diet too. We can be
dieting buddies and help each other
out. And when I feel the urge to
drive out and get a burger and fries,
I'll call you first.”
“Wonderful,” Mary replied. “I'll
go with you!”
*****
A young man hired by a supermar-
ket reported for his first day of work.
The manager greeted him with a
warm handshake and a smile, gave
him a broom and said, “Your first
job will be to sweep out the store.”
“But I'm a college graduate!” the
young man replied indignantly.
“Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know
that,” said the manager. “Give me
the broom and I'll show you how.”
*****
Bert took his Saint Bernard to the
vet.
“Doctor,” he said sadly, “I' m
afraid I'm going to have to ask you
to cut off my dog's tail.”
The vet stepped back, “Bert, why
should I do such a terrible thing?”
“Because my mother-in-law’s
arriving tomorrow, and I don't
want anything to make her think
she’s welcome,” Bert said.
*****
Patient: “Doctor! I have a serious
problem. I can never remember what
I just said.”
Doctor: “When did you first notice
this problem?”
Patient: “What problem?”

To The Editor,
After-Prom or Post-Prom, as some
may refer to it, has had a lengthy
tradition of providing a safe, fun and
free event hosted by parents of sen-
ior high students and community
groups in our three communities.
Seniors, juniors and sophomores (as
invited guests of upper-classmen)
are invited and encouraged to at-
tend. One does not need to attend
prom in order to attend After-Prom.
Activities have included a banquet
prior to the grand march, and an en-
joyable party after the prom dance
that includes a hypnotist, games ga-
lore, prizes, food, and inflatables to
run, jump and crawl through. The
evening concludes early Sunday
morning. The banquet, grand march
and dance are held in Arlington, and
the After-Prom party is held in the
gymnasiums at the Gaylord School.
However, we are in need of much
man power in order to carry out this
endeavor.
A group of parents have worked
tirelessly since August of last year,
making plans for a fun-filled event
on site this year. Last year’s After-
Prom event was a destination event
because we simply did not have the
parental support and commitment
we needed to pull off such an under-
taking. It is our hope that parents
(and community groups ) will step
forward and offer assistance by
serving on planning committees
such as the banquet/decorating com-
mittee, fund-raising committee,
prizes committee, games committee,
food committee, and clean-up com-
mittee. To date, three mailings have
been sent to each high school fami-
ly’s home with information in regard
to After-Prom meetings and organi-
zational events that have been hap-
pening monthly as we near the two
month mark before prom arrives on
May 3. We still need help.
Your child needs your support and
help to make After-Prom a reality
now and for future classes. If you
have not volunteered to help, please
email one of us and we will be
happy to add your name to a com-
mittee of your choice. Can we
count on you? Thank you.

To The Editor,
Thank you to the Arlington Lions
Club for their wonderful service to
our Arlington community and espe-
cially their annual Fish Fry which
was held last Friday, Feb. 28. It is a
great event and always nice to see
all the area people who attend and
enjoy the delicious dinner .
I enjoyed being there and working
with all of you and seeing all the
work that goes on to make it a suc-
cessful event. The dinner is organ-
ized and prepared by the Lions Club
members.
I feel hurt when I hear comments
such as “I had to wait 20 minutes
for fish” and “The fish were crum-
bly,” etc. What restaurant can you
go to and be served immediately and
find everything to your individual
liking? For $10.00 and “all you can
eat fish,” no one should complain.
The Lions Club was running low
on fish at approximately 4:30 p.m.
so two members drove to a neigh-
boring city to purchase more fish,
thereby creating a slight wait in the
serving line. They did this to make
sure they would have fish till the
very end of the Fish Fry and not
have to shut down early. The crowd
was more than they had planned for.
Let’s be grateful that we have an
Arlington Lions Club organization
that works diligently to put on
events such as this and then donates
the profits to very worthwhile proj-
ects. Last year, the Arlington Fire
Department purchased a much need-
ed piece of equipment, “Jaws of
Life,” and was presented with a
check from the Lions Club for the
entire cost. The fire department
made use of this special equipment
on the first day they purchased it
and have used it several times in the
past year.
This year the Arlington Lions
Club is donating portions of their
profits from the Fish Fry to the Sib-
ley East Marching Band Program
for special drums and equipment
and also to the boulevard trees for
“Safe School Routes” in Arlington.
These are very worthwhile projects
that will benefit our Arlington com-
munity and Sibley East Schools.
Thank you to the Arlington Lions
Club for all your donations to these
worthwhile projects. Looking for-
ward to next year’s Fish Fry and
being there to work with all of you.
And thank you to all the other com-
munity members (teachers, students,
business people, senior citizens and
lot of friends of the Lions Club) who
helped the Arlington Lions Club
members to again make this a won-
derful event.

COLUMBIA, MO—Two-
thirds of residents in small
towns across America depend
upon their local newspaper
for news and information, ac-
cording to the National
Newspaper Association’s
most recent newspaper read-
ership survey.
NNA, founded in 1885,
represents 2,200 members
across the U.S. Its mission is
to protect, promote and en-
hance America’s community
newspapers. Most of its
members are weekly or small
daily newspapers in smaller
or niche communities.
The survey noted that more
readers are using mobile de-
vices to shop, read and com-
municate. The number with
smartphones jumped from 24
percent to 45 percent and 39
percent said they used the
phones to access local news.
Newspaper websites re-
mained the leading provider
of local news, followed dis-
tantly by a local TV station’s
site and then by national ag-
gregators, such as Google and
Yahoo.
The annual NNA Commu-
nity Newspaper Readership
survey was completed in
2013 in partnership with the
Center for Advanced Social
Research of the Reynolds
Journalism Institute at the
University of Missouri. Sur-
veyors reached 508 house-
holds in communities where a
local newspaper of circula-
tion of 15,000 or less served
the communities.The survey
began in 2005. It has consis-
tently shown the community
newspaper to be the informa-
tion leader in smaller com-
munities.
Trust in the local newspa-
per remains high, the survey
found.
Overall, readers in the
2013 survey gave high rat-
ings to the accuracy, cover-
age, quality of writing and
fairness of news reporting of
the local print newspapers. In
“coverage of local news,”
“quality of writing” and “fair-
ness of reporting,” their com-
bined ratings were higher
than in 2012.
• 94 percent of readers
agreed that the newspapers
were informative.
• 80 percent said that they
and their families looked for-
ward to reading the newspa-
pers.
• 78 percent relied on the
newspapers for local news
and information.
• 72 percent said the news-
papers entertained them.
Local readers also like to
share their newspaper with
others. The “pass-along rate”
of the primary subscriber’s
sharing with others rose in
2013 to 2.48, compared to
2.18 in 2012 and 2.33 in
2011, possibly indicating
continued economic pressure
from the fallout of the Great
Recession as families econo-
mize by purchasing fewer in-
dividual copies.
Striking was the finding
that nearly one-third of
households still do not have
Internet access at home. The
finding parallels similar con-
clusions from the U.S. Cen-
sus Bureau and others that
continue to report slow
growth in Internet penetration
across smaller, and particular-
ly rural communities.
NNA President Robert M.
Williams Jr., publisher of the
Blackshear (GA) Times, re-
marked that the RJI research
consistently shows the com-
munity newspaper as the
dominant information medi-
um in their communities.
“We know that it is very
difficult for a good communi-
ty to survive without a good
newspaper and vice versa,”
Williams said. “The high lev-
els of trust, the consistent
pass-along rate and the desire
to find the newspaper in
whatever medium the reader
wishes to use—whether mo-
bile, print or Web—demon-
strate the value of good com-
munity journalism.”
Williams’ theme during his
presidency has been the inter-
dependency of local commu-
nities and local newspapers.
“As I often say, if you want
a Big Mac, you go to Mc-
Donald’s. If you want local
news in Blackshear, you go to
the Blackshear Times. That
high quality news franchise is
replicated across America—
particularly in smaller com-
munities—in ways that elec-
tronic media can only en-
hance, not supplant. As our
electronic mission develops,
we remain strong in print and
proud of it. We are thankful
for America’s readers, who
use our news and information
and make our communities
strong,” he said.
Jerry Lyles with Athlon
Media Group, said "Newspa-
pers are the eyes, ears and
hearts of communities across
America. They provide local
news and information impor-
tant to their residents that
can' t be found anywhere
else."
Interlink founder and
owner Bill Garber said, “This
year ’s NNA research con-
firms that the newspaper it-
self remains, by a wider mar-
gin, the most preferred and
trusted source for local news
and information as well as
advertising.”
“Like readers everywhere,
Interlink values community
newspapers; and like publish-
ers everywhere, we value
community newspaper read-
ers, too.
“That is why this year, and
well before the U.S. Postal
Service regroups to require it,
we will bring proven Full-
Service Intelligent Mail® de-
livery superiority to every
newspaper subscriber that
every one of our clients mail
to wherever they live and
work,” Garber added.
“As the NNA study also
proves, newspapers today
don’t need to be different or
better to attract more sub-
scribers. People like the paper
well enough just the way it
is! Not that better isn’t—well,
better. And not that with more
readers publishers aren’t like-
ly to invest in making their
papers better for both their
readers and their advertisers.
As the study proves and as
publishers are proving every
week, new subscribers are
signing up every day.”
Interlink President Brad
Hill concurs: “We salute
NNA and its member pub-
lishers for being truly suc-
cessful under what has been
for some time less than an
ideal economy,” Hill said,
adding that Interlink is proud
to be an NNA Partner and
proud to help support NNA’s
readership survey.
“Interlink believes in the
strength of community news-
papers. Nothing connects the
people of a small community
like their local newspaper,”
added Hill, who is an NNA
representative on the Post-
master General’s Mailers’
Technical Advisory Commit-
tee.
The Executive Summary of
the Readership Survey is at-
tached. Full survey results are

The visiting Sibley East
varsity girls basketball team
lost to Glencoe-Silver Lake
64-50 during the opening
round of the Section 2AA
North Sub Section Girls Bas-
ketball Tournament on Mon-
day night, March 3.
The Lady Wolverines
struggled early and fell be-
hind 29-18 by halftime.
Sibley East did pull within
six points at one stretch dur-
ing the second half. The Pan-
thers, however, rebounded
and increased their lead back
to double digits.
“GSL made 16 of 20 free
throws in the second half
which made it difficult for us
to close the gap,” said Sibley
East head coach Todd
Warzecha.
Senior Kimberly Kurtzweg
and junior Autumn Dose
topped Sibley East with 10
points each. Senior Megan
Eckberg tossed in nine points
while juniors McKenzie
Sommers and Liz Thies
hooped five points apiece.
Senior Jessica Garza and
sophomore McKayla Stumm
netted four points each while
junior Kelli Martens added
three points.
The Lady Wolverines hit
13 of 36 shots from two-point
range for 36 percent and two
of 10 long bombs for 20 per-
cent. Sibley East also canned
just 18 of 33 charity tosses
for 55 percent.
Sibley East grabbed 28 re-
bounds, one less than Glen-
coe-Silver Lake. Eckberg
snared nine boards while
Sommers collected six car-
oms.
Kutzweg also recorded
four thefts while Sommers
had two steals.
Sophomore Katie Tuchten-
hagen, Eckberg, Garza,
Martens, Kurtzweg and Som-
mers dished out two assists
apiece.
The Lady Wolverines, who
forced 27 turnovers, commit-
ted 23 miscues.
“I’m proud to say I was a
part of this team, ” said
Warzecha. “We were down,
but we kept battling and
fighting no matter what the
score.”
Sibley East concludes the
season with a 4-10 mark in
the Minnesota River Confer-
ence and a 7-16 record over-
all.
St. Peter 57
Sibley East 39
The Sibley East varsity
girls basketball concluded its
regular season with a 57-39
loss to visiting St. Peter in
non-conference action on
Thursday night, Feb. 27.
Senior Megan Eckberg
paced Sibley East with 12
points. Juniors Kelli Martens
and McKenzie Sommers
pumped in seven points each
while senior Kimberly
Kurtweg scored six points.
Seniors Jessica Garza and
Maren Miner and junior Liz
Thies had two points apiece.
Senior Britany Reierson
added one point.
Sibley East girls lose to G-SL 64-50 in playoffs
Sibley East connected on
10 of 43 attempts from two-
point range for 23 percent and
just one of six shots from
three-point land for 17 per-
cent. The Lady Wolverines
also converted only 16 of 34
free throw attempts for 47
percent.
The Lady Wolverines were
out-rebounded by a 45-32
margin. Sommers and Eck-
berg pulled down six and five
rebounds respectively.
Martens recorded three
steals while junior Autumn
Dose and Thies had two thefts
each.
Martens also distributed
three assists.

turnovers in the setback.

ing of the Ladies Auxiliary to
VFW Post 6031 was called to
order at 7:30 p.m. by Presi-
dent Carol Dammann, ac-
cording to Secretary Ramona
Bade. Ten members were
present.
After the Flag Pledge and
Roll, the secretary’s minutes
were read and approved.
Under new business, the
group has a nursing student
who is interested in applying
for the Marcella Arnold Nurs-
ing Scholarship.
A motion was made by
Diana Glieden, seconded by
Marge Kloeckl, to have the
group donate a prize for the
Hospital Foundation
fundraiser. The motion car-
ried. The prize is a $30 gift
certificate to be used at an Ar-
lington Veterans Steak Fry.
Being there was no further
business, the meeting was ad-
journed. The group will meet
again on Monday, March 10.
The door prize was won by
Esther Kuebler.
The group had a beautiful
variety of Valentine cookies
donated by members. After
the meeting, the cookies were
boxed and ready for delivery
to various places. A big thank
you to all of the bakers.
A lunch of Valentine cook-
ies and coffee was enjoyed by
all.
