Speaker Paul Thissen as one
of two Republican represen-
tatives to escort DFL Gover-
nor Mark Dayton to the
House Chamber for his State
of State address on Wednes-
day, April 23.
“While Governor Dayton
and I don’t see eye to eye on
a lot of issues, it will be an
honor to escort him for the
State of the State address,”
Gruenhagen said. “I hope to
hear from the Governor on
his plans to work with the
legislature, Democrats and
Republicans alike, on solu-
tions to improve our great
state.”

Vote to override veto fails in Arlington
By Kurt Menk
Editor
The Arlington City Coun-
cil, during its regular meeting
on Monday night, April 7,
unanimously adopted a reso-
lution to authorize the City of
Arlington to enter into an
agreement between the cities
of Arlington, Green Isle and
Gaylord and the Sibley East
School District to establish
and operate a jointly spon-
sored Community Education
& Recreation Program for the
2014-2015 school year.
City Council members
James Jaszewski, Jennifer
Nuesse, Curt Reetz, Jason
Ruehling and Galen Wills all
voted in favor of the resolu-
tion.
The equitable contribution
for each city will be based on
population size at a benefit of
$7.80 per citizen and based
on the 2012 population statis-
tics. The cost for the City of
Arlington will be $17,238.
The City Council will uti-
lize funds from the Medical
Lease Revenue and allocated
fund from the General Funds.
The Sibley East School
Board and Gaylord City
Council have yet to act upon
the resolution.
Sibley East Superintendent
Jim Amsden, who was pres-
ent at the meeting, reported
that Sibley East currently has
a part-time director and re-
cently approved a motion to
hire a full-time director.
Amsden added that Sibley
East has already received
over 20 applications for the
full-time director position.
The goal is to interview at
least 10 applicants for the
open position on Thursday
and Friday.
The initial goal, according
to Amsden, is to maintain the
current summer program in
Arlington and Gaylord and
work in the fall, winter and
next spring to enhance the
summer programs for the fol-
lowing summer.
The long-term goal is to
expand and grow the Com-
munity Education & Recre-
ation Program.
Although the jointly spon-
sored Community Education
& Recreation Program will
be under the supervision of
the superintendent, an adviso-
ry council will be established
and consist of 12 voting
members. Three members
will be appointed by Sibley
East while three members
will be appointed by each
city.
Prior to the vote, Reetz ex-
pressed concern that some of
the current expenses are
being shifted from the entire
school district to the cities.
He also voiced concern that
there would be additional
costs along with the growth
of the program.
Amsden did not anticipate
any additional costs in the
next few years.
Wills questioned what will
the City of Arlington receive
for the additional monies it
would contribute to the new
program compared to the
funds it uses for its current
recreation program.
Amsden said the cities will
have to be patient since it
takes time to develop a new,
strong and vibrant program.
In the long run, however, he
predicted that the cities will
see a gradual development
and growth of programs.
The discussion then briefly
centered around contributions
from townships in the school
district.
Amsden said the townships
have not been approached
about the jointly sponsored
Community Education &
Recreation Program. He said
there has been some talk
where township residents
could be charged a minimal
fee on top of the standard fee
for participation in various
activities.
If the cities do not see real
value in the program after a
couple of years, Amsden said
the three towns would have
an opportunity to withdraw
from the program at that
time.
Nuesse suggested that a
one-year notice to withdraw
from the program was too
long. That figure, prior to the
vote on the resolution, was
changed to 90 days.
Green Isle
Superintendent Amsden
made the same presentation
to the Green Isle City Council
and received the same posi-
tive result.
The City Council, during
its regular meeting on Tues-
day night, April 8, unani-
mously adopted a resolution
to authorize the City of Green
Isle to enter into an agree-
ment between the cities of
Arlington, Green Isle and
Gaylord and the Sibley East
School District to establish
and operate a jointly spon-
sored Community Education
& Recreation Program for the
2014-2015 school year.
Mayor Dale ZumBerge and
City Council members Todd
Burg, Shawn Harms, Brian
Oelfke and Mark Wentzlaff
all voted in favor of the reso-
lution.
The cost for the City of
Green Isle will be $4,305, ac-
cording to Amsden.
Arlington votes to enter into jointly sponsored
Community Education & Recreation Program
By Kurt Menk
Editor
A vote to override a veto by
Mayor Jim Kreft for the pro-
posed fiber to the home proj-
ect failed during the regular
meeting of the Arlington City
Council on Monday evening,
April 7.
The City Council voted 3-2
and adopted a resolution for
the City of Arlington to rejoin
the Renville-Sibley County
Fiber Cooperative Joint Pow-
ers Board by approving the
amended joint powers agree-
ment as presented with the
expectation that the city will
participate in the general obli-
gation tax abatement process.
City Council members
James Jaszewski, Jennifer
Nuesse and Curt Reetz all
voted in favor of the resolu-
tion.
City Council members
Jason Ruehling and Galen
Wills voted against the reso-
lution.
A four-fifths vote was
needed to override the veto
which was originally made by
Mayor Kreft at the regular
meeting of the City Council
on Monday night, March 17.
Prior to the vote on Mon-
day, April 7, there was some
confusion on whether or not
the language in regard to the
participation in the general
obligation was even needed
in the resolution.
The resolution was origi-
nally placed on the agenda by
Jaszewski for the vote on
Monday night, March 17.
City Attorney Ross Arne-
son informed the City Coun-
cil that the resolution could
not be amended or altered.
The same resolution, he said,
had to be voted upon accord-
ing to the City Charter.
Prior to the vote on Mon-
day night, April 7, the City
Council listened to a financial
presentation by Phil Keithahn
on the proposed fiber to the
home project. The Gaylord
resident and business man,
who was invited to give the
presentation by Jaszewski,
was recently hired to compile
a financial package for the
Renville-Sibley Fiber Coop-
erative.
Keithahn said he was not at
the meeting to put on a “full
court press,” but to present
the financial information and
answer valid questions so the
City Council could make an
informed and prudent deci-
sion.
Keithahn said the RS Fiber
Cooperative has assembled
an experienced team to de-
sign, build and operate the
proposed fiber to the home
project throughout Sibley
County and parts of Renville
and McLeod counties.
Cities and townships are
being asked to bond a total of
$15 million toward the pro-
posed $57 million business,
according to Keithahn.
The City of Arlington’s
portion of the bond would be
about $165,000 per year or a
total of approximately $2 mil-
lion over 20 years.
Vote Fails

Winter In Spring
The winter weather just will not go away. Approxi-
mately five to six inches of snow fell in the Arlington
and Green Isle area late Thursday night, April 3 and
early Friday morning, April 4. Local and area schools
were initially two hours late and later closed. Arling-
ton resident Bruce Hanneman used his snowblower
one more time to remove snow from the sidewalk lo-
cated near the side of his residence.

The Green Isle City
Council, during its regular
meeting on Tuesday night,
April 8, voted 4-1 and
adopted a resolution for
the City of Green Isle to
join the Renville-Sibley
County Fiber Cooperative
Joint Powers Board by ap-
proving the amended joint
powers agreement as pre-
sented.
Mayor Dale ZumBerge
and City Council members
Todd Burg, Brian Oelfke
and Mark Wentzlaff voted
in favor of the resolution.
City Council member
Shawn Harms voted
against the resolution be-
cause there is a chance for
a tax increase if the fiber
to the home project strug-
gles or fails during the life
of the 20-year bond.
Only two local resi-
dents, both of whom sup-
port the fiber project, were
in attendance at the meet-
ing.
The revised fiber to the
home project is estimated
to cost approximately $57
million.
Ten cities and 21 town-
ships, according to the
original plan, are being
asked to bond a total of
$15 million toward the
proposed fiber project.
Green Isle’s portion of
the bond would be
$29,784 every year for 20
years or a total of
$495,799.
The RS Fiber Coopera-
tive would seek out the re-
maining $42 million of the
$57 million project in
federal government loan
guarantees.
The bond, according to
members of the RS Fiber
Cooperative, would only
kick in if the proposed
project struggles or fails.
The move by the Green
Isle City Council allows
the community to become
part of the fiber group and
go through the process
until bonding. A public
meeting will then be held
in a few months before the
Green Isle City Council
officially votes on whether
or not to participate in the
general obligation tax
abatement process.
The Green Isle City
Council will hold its next
regular meeting at 6:30
p.m. Tuesday, April 22.

The Green Isle Fire Depart-
ment and Green Isle City
Council recently received
some untimely news about
the purchase and delivery of
its new fire engine.
The Green Isle Fire Depart-
ment, after several conversa-
tions, was recently informed
that Forstner’s Fire Apparatus
of Madelia would be unable
to fulfill the contract, accord-
ing to Green Isle Fire Chief
Scott Vos.
Forstner Fire Apparatus of
Madelia was awarded the low
bid on the new fire engine
last July. The City of Green
Isle and Green Isle Fire De-
partment, at that time, had en-
tered into an agreement with
Forstner Fire Apparatus of
Madelia for the company to
build the new apparatus for
May 2014 delivery.
“The new chassis was or-
dered and delivered to
Forstner’s in late 2013 for an
early 2014 start,” said Vos.
During the first week of
February 2014, however,
Forstner Fire Apparatus of
Madelia informed the Green
Isle Fire Department that “it
was taking its business in a
different direction and were
going to switch to a fire appa-
ratus maintenance company.”
Vos said.
The company, however,
stated that it would still honor
the contract and continue the
build as planned, but asked
for a one-month extension on
the delivery, according to
Vos. The Fire Board met and
approved the time extension.
Then came the recent com-
munication that the company
would be unable to fulfill the
contract.
“The decision was made to
pick up the chassis from
Forstner’s at a convenient
time and return it to Green
Isle,” said Vos. He added that
the Fire Board met on Mon-
day night April 7 and “every-
one was informed of last
week’s developments.”
The Fire Board, after
some discussion, agreed to
explore additional options to
complete the project and re-
quote the build with a cus-
tomer supplied chassis.
The new engine, which had
a price tag of $272,000, was
scheduled to replace the 1991
Ford pump truck.

This Lenten season the
“Lord, Is It I?” drama will be
presented in Arlington. Local
participants will be the actors
and costumed in Biblical
garb. The presentation will be
held at the Community Cen-
ter along Highway 5 at 7 p.m.
on Palm Sunday evening,
April 13. There will also be
special music during the serv-
ice.
The drama written by Fred-
erick S. Thompson depicts
Leonardo DaVinci’s painting
of the disciples and Christ as
they gather at the table for the
Last Supper in the Upper
Room. The evening before
Christ was betrayed by one of
his disciples, He gathered
them together to eat, tells
them He knew what was
coming and washed their feet.
As they ate and drank togeth-
er, Christ gave the disciples
explicit instructions on how
to eat and drink in the future,
in remembrance of Him. It
was the first celebration of
the Eucharist, a ritual still
performed.
Specifically, The Last Sup-
per depicts the next few sec-
onds in this story after Christ
said that one disciple would
betray Him before sunrise,
and all 12 have reacted to the
news with different degrees
of horror, anger, and shock.
At the depiction, one at a
time, the disciples break their
pose and come forward to tell
what Christ has meant to
them and of the confusion
they still feel toward His im-
pending death.
For the offering, financial
donations and food items for
the Sibley County Food Shelf
and for expenses for the pres-
entation will be accepted.
Families of all faiths are in-
vited to attend this evening of
inspiration. It is sponsored by
a committee from churches in
Arlington.

Town Hall Meeting
Only four people were in attendance as
State Representative Glenn Gruen-
hagen, R-Glencoe, held a Town Hall
Meeting at the Arlington Public Library
on Saturday morning, April 5. The up-
date on the current legislative session
primarily turned into a debate on the
philosophical differences over Oba-
macare. A Town Hall Meeting followed
at the Green Isle City Council Cham-
bers. A Town Hall Meeting will be held
at the Gaylord Library Community
Room from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Sat-
urday, April 12.
The A-GI Women of Today
will sponsor an Easter event
in the small gym at the Sibley
East Senior High School in
Arlington from 10 a.m. to
noon Saturday, April 19.
There will be games,
prizes, crafts, cookies and
fun.
The event is open to chil-
dren who are toddlers
through the second grade.
Parents, don’t forget to
bring your camera.
Easter event is planned for Saturday, April 19
The bond would not be acti-
vated unless the proposed
fiber to the home project
struggled or failed.
The RS Fiber Cooperative
would seek the additional $42
million in federal government
loans.
The formation of a coopera-
tive, Keithahn said, will allow
better access to these federal
government loan guarantees.
He further stated that cash
flows with 50 percent penetra-
tion would repay all debt. In
addition, long useful life and
government funding sources
would reduce the interest rate
risk and cash flow require-
ments.
Keithahn, who has studied
the financial aspect of the pro-
posed project for over 200
hours, said the RS Fiber Co-
operative would be a finan-
cially viable business and the
risk to taxpayers would not be
significant. He also stressed
that a number of financial
lenders and leaders would
have to sign off on the federal
government loans before the
proposed project could move
forward.
Keithahn also stated that the
area does not have available,
accessible, affordable and au-
thentic fiber broadband.
Keithahn said the first step
would be for the City of Ar-
lington to join the RS Joint
Powers Board and be part of
the process while the coopera-
tive and lenders finish plans
and its due diligence. The cost
to join, he added, would be
$10,000.
That financial figure
seemed to both surprise and
confuse Mayor Kreft and the
City Council. It was the first
time that the elected officials
had learned there was a fee to
join the RS Fiber Coopera-
tive.
If the City of Arlington
would decide to join the Joint
Power Board, Keithahn said a
public meeting would be held
in a few months before the
City Council would be asked
to officially vote on whether
or not to participate in the
general obligation tax abate-
ment process.
After the presentation by
Keithahn and prior to the
vote, the floor was open for
discussion.
Reetz asked a few questions
about penetration rates and
the tax impact.
Keithahn replied that the
fiber cooperative has a rea-
sonable belief that 50-plus
percent of households would
purchase fiber services. He
also said that a penetration
rate just under the 50 percent
break even point would result
in a relatively small tax im-
pact.
Ruehling asked Keithahn if
the Winona-based Hiawatha
Broadband company, which
would operate the proposed
RS fiber to the home project,
had ever successfully built out
and operated a rural fiber to
the home project over an en-
tire county.
When Keithahn hesitated to
answer the question, Ruehling
pressed on. Keithahn then
replied no.
Ruehling added that people
who do not support the pro-
posed fiber project would also
be on the hook if the endeavor
struggled or failed.
After the vote to override
the veto failed, Mayor Kreft
announced that the issue
could be placed on an agenda
again if new information was
presented.
Nuesse also reported that
the Arlington EDA plans to
meet with Mediacom in the
future.

Senior Citizens Building
is host to a variety of
activities and events
Our View: A little renovation would make
the building even more inviting
Letters To The Editor
Guest Column
The Senior Citizens Building is the host to a variety of
activities and events in Arlington throughout the year.
A smaller group of senior citizens use the building three
out of four Thursdays each month. A larger gathering of
senior citizens use the facility on the other Thursday every
month.
Throughout the year, it is used by the Girls Scouts and 4-
H Clubs. It is also used for birthday parties, graduations,
confirmations, reunions and much more. In addition, the
Senior Citizens Building doubles as the warming house for
ice skaters in the winter months.
The Senior Citizens Building is a wonderful asset, but it
is in need of some renovation. The inside ceiling tiles are
warped in a few areas. The two outside doors on the west
side of the facility are rusty. The kitchen and restroom
areas could be updated and the big room could be painted.
A committee, for the last several months, has met to dis-
cuss ways to update and renovate the Arlington Communi-
ty Center. Perhaps another committee could be assembled
or the Park Committee could be asked to perform the same
task for the Senior Citizens Building.
The City of Arlington has not neglected the building. The
recent renovation of the new Emergency Services Build-
ing, discussions about the Community Center and talks
about the use of the old Fire Hall have been understand-
ably higher priorities during the past year.
The hope is that the Senior Citizens Building will not be
lost in the shuffle and a little renovation will be made to
this little, but popular building in the future.

Ten minutes later, Bill’s sister ar-

To The Editor,
Broadband has been a hot media
topic lately. Various letters, articles,
and news stories have focused on
broadband and how it isn’t available
to many rural areas of Minnesota.
Some have even used the word
“broadband” in the same sentence as
“rural electrification”. “If broad-
band isn’t available, rural America
will die!” Is this reality or just scary
fiction?
I own a central Minnesota broad-
band company and have been a
leading pioneer in my industry for
over 15 years. I have several issues
with these discussions.
Most of Minnesota is NOT under-
served. For example, in Sibley
County they profess to not have vi-
able broadband options. There are
at least six different private sector
businesses currently offering good
broadband services to this area.
ConnectMN.org can confirm this.
My company will be number seven.
Internet access (for most areas)
does not need to be funded by the
government. The government has
no place in this discussion other
than to encourage the private sector
to invest in areas that need more
choices. Yes, they can become a
catalyst—but they do not need to be
capital investors. The private sector
can and should do the funding for
broadband deployments.
Broadband deployment is a per-
fect example of capitalism at its
best. Small companies like mine
can quickly provide broadband ac-
cess with little or no government re-
striction. We can do this anywhere
in the US and we have provided ac-
cess to many underserved areas al-
ready with relative ease.
Most people do not understand
broadband. They do not understand
that there are several ways to deliver
fast Internet access to the user. For
example, my company, using cur-
rent wireless technology, can deliver
over 100Mbps to our customers.
Cable is capable of doing this as
well. The media and proponents of
government funded broadband feel
that fiber is needed for everyone.
While this is a noble thought, it is
simply not economical nor practical
to do this everywhere—and it is not
needed.
The proponents of fiber argue that
it is needed to move us into the fu-
ture. Terrestrial wireless is the
“wave” of the future. It can deliver
gigabit performance today, where it
is needed, and it is only getting
faster with each technology ad-
vance. It does not cost $20,000+
per mile to deploy like its fiber
counterpart. Quite simply, we have
access to non-fiber technology that
can provide the “last mile” access to
rural folks while allowing them to
do everything they want on the In-
ternet.
Finally, some people are arguing
that broadband (lack thereof) is sti-
fling the economic growth of Small-
town, USA. This is simply not true.
Smalltown is facing many other
challenges and they are using broad-
band as an excuse. Let’s focus on
the real root causes and not make
excuses.
Broadband, specifically wireless
broadband in America, is an Ameri-
can Dream success story. We have
been given the technology and the
means to use it anywhere we want to
provide competition. Competition
drives prices down and quality up.
Instead of looking for taxpayer
handouts, we should embrace the
Dream and encourage the govern-
ment to become a catalyst and not a
capital provider. I’m living the
American Dream and I love it. No
thanks, I don’t need any government
money and my company will be
providing good quality access to
those who need it.
In conclusion, please support the
American Dream by encouraging
your government representatives to
become a broadband catalyst and to
put their wallets away for now (or
longer).

Broadband: Is it a government obligation?
By Amy Klobuchar
U.S. Senator
In 2012, a retired businessman
from Circle Pines named Alan Sten-
der was working to file his taxes on
time. After completing all the forms
and sending in his tax returns, Alan
heard from the IRS there was a
major problem. Someone had stolen
his identity and used his personal in-
formation to fraudulently file his
taxes and steal his tax return.
This year, people across the coun-
try will receive the same alarming
news Alan did as millions of Ameri-
cans will fall victim to tax identity
theft.
Using information such as Social
Security numbers, criminals are
electronically filing false tax returns
before the legitimate taxpayer in
order to steal the taxpayer’s refund.
This not only costs the government
billions of dollars in waste, but also
robs innocent Americans of their
hard-earned tax refunds.
While Alan’s situation was frus-
trating, we also know this crime can
also victimize our most vulnerable
citizens. Victims such as seniors liv-

Protecting Minnesota taxpayers
To The Editor,
Late last month I shared my ap-
prehension about the once-failed RS
Fiber/Fiber to the Home (FTTH)
project. It was humbling to hear
from many of you about my letter.
Overwhelmingly the anxiety we
all share about this largest-ever fi-
nancial obligation on Sibley County
residents is that we never get any
say. A Joint Powers Board decided
two years ago we don’t get a public
vote and they won’t let us vote on it
this time either.
Several of you asked me why?
Candidly, I do not know what to tell
you because I have been trying to
get an answer to that very same
question for two years.
Today, in Sibley County if you
want reliable landline telephone
service, hundreds of television chan-
nels, and high speed internet access,
you can order it from numerous
companies. And not one of them
will make you pay their debts if they
go out of business. On top of it
each one pays a lot of taxes. One of
the oldest companies in Sibley
County, Winthrop Telephone, gives
42 percent of their profits back in
taxes.
Please understand that with RS
Fiber/Fiber to the Home you and I
will be on the hook for every single
bill, every single debt, and every
single invoice piled up when this
project does not pencil out. In fact,
they’ve already used our money to
try and sell this to us. Oh, there are
two groups that will get paid off
100% percent: the Wall Street com-
panies selling the bonds and the pro-
fessional consultants.
Please let your city council or
your township board and your coun-
ty commissioner know – politely –
that our Social Security widows on
fixed income deserve a public vote
on this enormous project.

Extra law enforcement and
education efforts will be in
effect April 11-20 in an effort
to reduce distracted driving.
Driver distraction is a leading
crash factor in Minnesota, ac-
counting for around 25 per-
cent of all crashes annually.
In south central Minnesota,
there are several initiatives
being coordinated by the To-
ward Zero Deaths program:
Law enforcement agencies
will be partnering with their
respective traffic engineers
(MnDOT and County Public
Works) to initiate enforce-
ment efforts that focus on
drivers who are texting.
Janesville Waldorf Pember-
ton, Maple River and Sleepy
Eye high schools are partner-
ing with AT&T, which offers
the It Can Wait campaign
during distracted driving
awareness in April. During
the week of April 7, these
high school junior and senior
students will engage in a
friendly competition. They
will take the pledge to never
text and drive. In addition to
the pledges, Maple River Stu-
dents will have the opportuni-
ty to drive golf carts through
a distracted driving course.
Janesville Waldorf Pemberton
will be hearing from presen-
ter Matt Logan who lost his
daughter due to distracted
driving.
“Distraction is a decision,”
said Annette Larson, TZD
Coordinator. “We want not
only teens, but all drivers to
take action to stop distraction.
I encourage all Minnesota
Drivers to take the pledge to
never text and drive and to
stay focused behind that
wheel.”
AT&T first launched its It
Can Wait in 2009 to educate
the public about the dangers
of texting while driving and
encourage consumers to take
the pledge to never text be-
hind the wheel at www.ItCan-
Wait.com. The It Can Wait
movement is making a differ-
ence. One in three people
who have seen the texting
while driving message say
they’ve changed their driving
habits, and the campaign has
inspired more than four mil-
lion pledges nationwide to
never text and drive.
The educational cards will
be distributed to drivers, as a
reminder of the dangers of
distracted driving, along with
a citation during the enforce-
ment wave. The cards give
factual information on one
side, along with a tragic story
of how texting and driving
impacted one family.
In 2012, distracted driver-
related crashes resulted in 51
deaths and 8,304 injuries, ac-
cording to the Minnesota De-
partment of Public Safety
(DPS) Office of Traffic Safe-
ty.
In Minnesota, it is illegal
for drivers to read, compose
or send texts/emails, and ac-
cess the Web on a wireless
device while the vehicle is in
motion or a part of traffic,
such as at a stoplight or stuck
in traffic. It is also illegal for
drivers under age 18 to use a
cell phone at any time.
Distractions cause drivers
to react more slowly to traffic
conditions or events, such as
a vehicle stopping or pulling
out in traffic. A University of
Utah study reports that using
a cell phone while driving,
whether hands-free or hand-
held, delays a driver’s reac-
tions as much as having an
alcohol-concentration level of
0.08 percent. And when tex-
ting, drivers take their eyes
off the road for up to 4.6 out
of every six seconds —
equivalent to traveling the
length of a football field at 55
miles per hour without look-
ing up.
Tips to minimize distrac-
tions:
Hang Up and Drive
• Turn off cell phone, or
place it out of reach.
• If on a phone conversa-
tion with someone driving,
ask them to call you back.
• Texting, emailing and
web use while driving is ille-
gal in Minnesota, including
when stopped in traffic.
• Drivers under age 18 are
prohibited from any cell
phone use.
Passengers
• Speak up to stop drivers
from engaging in distracted
behaviors.
• Assist with phone, direc-
tions and radio/music con-
trols.
Distracted driving educa-
tion is a component in Min-
nesota’s core traffic safety
initiative, Toward Zero
Deaths (TZD).
<http://www.minnesotatzd.or
g/> A primary vision of the
TZD program is to create a
safe driving culture in Min-
nesota in which motorists
support a goal of zero road
fatalities by practicing and
promoting safe and smart
driving behavior. TZD focus-
es on the application of four
strategic areas to reduce
crashes, education, enforce-
ment, engineering and emer-
gency trauma response.

Alex Meeker, a member of
Boy Scout Troop 324, was
honored during an Eagle
Scout Court of Honor at St.
John Lutheran Church in
Belle Plaine.
His Eagle project included
a Monument to Unborn Chil-
dren at St. Brendan’s Catholic
Church in Green Isle last fall.
Meeker designed and man-
aged the construction of a
granite monument to include
brick pillars and landscaping
around it. The monument is
placed at the entrance of the
church cemetery.
“I chose this project be-
cause I wanted to do some-
thing that would give back to
my community to include
friends, family and parish
members at my church,” said
Meeker. “It is meant to be a
place of reflection and medi-
tation for people entering the
cemetery to visit loved ones.
It is also a place of prayer for
those who have had an un-
born child and those who
pray for unborn children.”
For his project which in-
cluded over 160 volunteer
hours, Meeker had to meet
with the granite stone compa-
ny, work with a company to
order brick, meet with a
bricklayer and supervise his
troop who did the digging
and placement of the land-
scaping stone.
“From my project, I
learned how to write a project
plan, manage a timeline and
supervise people,” said
Meeker.
He is the son of Todd and
Connie Meeker. He is also
the grandson of Arlene (Mey-
ers) Marek.

ing on fixed incomes or peo-
ple with disabilities depend on
tax returns to make ends meet
and cannot financially man-
age having their tax returns
stolen.
Unfortunately, this problem
only continues to grow. In
fact, between 2011 and 2012,
the number of identity theft
tax returns almost doubled af-
fecting more than 1.8 million
tax returns. That’s in addition
to another 1.1 million tax re-
turns that might have had
these identity theft problems
but were not caught. In all, the
government paid out $3.6 bil-
lion dollars in stolen tax re-
turns in 2012!
There is much at stake and
action is needed. That’s why I
have put forward bipartisan
legislation with Republican
Senator Jeff Sessions of Ala-
bama to take on this problem
and crack down on the crimi-
nals committing this crime.
The STOP Identity Theft Act
would take important steps to
streamline law enforcement
resources and strengthen
penalties for tax identity theft.
In recent weeks we have
made significant progress by
passing this bill out of the
Senate Judiciary Committee
on a bipartisan 18-0 vote.
My bill will direct the Jus-
tice Department to dedicate
additional resources to ad-
dress tax identity theft. It also
directs the Department to
focus on parts of the country
with especially high rates of
tax-return identity theft and to
boost protections for vulnera-
ble populations such as sen-
iors, minors, and veterans. We
also urge the Justice Depart-
ment to cooperate fully and
coordinate investigations with
state and local law enforce-
ment agencies.
Identity thieves have be-
come more creative and have
expanded from stealing the
identity of individuals to
stealing that of businesses and
organizations. My bill recog-
nizes this change and broad-
ens the definition of tax iden-
tity theft to include business-
es, nonprofits and other simi-
lar organizations. This is im-
portant because once a com-
pany or organization’s tax in-
formation is stolen, it can be
used to create fraudulent tax
returns and claim false re-
funds.
Finally, we need to crack
down on the criminals com-
mitting this crime. My bill
would strengthen penalties for
tax identity theft by raising
the maximum jail sentence
from 15 to 20 years.
But it will take more than
just legislation to put a stop to
this crime. All Minnesotans
can take steps to protect them-
selves. According to the IRS,
you should always keep your
Social Security Card at home
in a safe spot, avoid providing
your Social Security Number
to a business unless it is re-
quired, check your credit re-
port regularly, and never pro-
vide personal information to
anyone unless you initiate the
contact either over the phone,
snail mail, or email.
If you believe you are the
victim of tax identity theft, the
best thing to do is contact the
IRS at 800-908-4490. You can
also reach out to a local IRS
Taxpayer Advocate at 651-
312-7999. Taxpayer Advo-
cates are well-versed in han-
dling these cases and are
available to assist victims of
fraud.
As Minnesotans across the
state work to file their taxes
on time, we need to take ac-
tion against tax identity theft.
If a retired businessman from
Circle Pines can fall victim to
this crime we know it can
happen to anyone. That’s why
I will keep pushing to make
sure my bill becomes law so
we can crack down on identi-
ty thieves and protect Min-
nesotans from this crime.

The Sibley East spring
sports season is finally under-
way.
The Sibley East varsity
boys and girls track teams
began their outdoor season at
Belle Plaine on Tuesday af-
ternoon, April 8. The meet
was switched to Belle Plaine
because there was still snow
standing on the runway for
the long jump and triple
jump.
The tracksters will travel to
Norwood Young America for
a meet at 4 p.m. Thursday,
April 10.
The Sibley East varsity
girls softball team will open
its season against visiting St.
Clair in non-conference ac-
tion at 4:30 p.m. Friday, April
11.
The Sibley East varsity
boys and girls golf teams
were scheduled to host Nor-
wood Young America at
Winthrop at 4 p.m. Friday,
April 11. That meet has been
cancelled.
The Sibley East varsity
boys baseball team will com-
pete in the Lake City Base-
ball Tournament on Saturday,
April 12.
A complete summary of
these events and others will
be published in next week’s
edition of the Arlington En-

SE spring sports season finally underway
Applications for Min-
nesota bear hunting licens-
es are being accepted now
through Friday, May 2, at
any Minnesota Depart-
ment of Natural Resources
license agent, online or by
telephone at 888-665-
4236.
A total of 3,750 licenses
are available in 11 permit
areas, the same number of
licenses available last
year. Bear licenses cost
$44 for residents and $250
for nonresidents. The sea-
son opens Monday, Sept.
1, and closes Sunday, Oct.
12.
Notification to success-
ful lottery winners will be
made in mid- to late May.
The deadline to purchase
licenses awarded by lot-
tery will be Thursday,
Aug. 1. Any remaining un-
purchased licenses will be
available to those eligible
starting at noon on
Wednesday, Aug. 6.
An unlimited number of
bear licenses will be sold
over-the-counter for no-
quota areas in east-central
and far northwestern Min-
nesota. No-quota licenses
are valid only in a no-
quota area. Hunters with a
no-quota license can har-
vest one bear.
By offering the same
number of licenses as last
year, the DNR continues
to work toward its goal of
gradually increasing Min-
nesota’s bear population.
The state’s bear popula-
tion was estimated at
17,000 in 2008. Trends
since then suggest that
today’s population is
10,000-15,000. Reducing
the number of bear licens-
es results in hunters har-
vesting fewer bears, al-
lowing the population to
gradually increase.
Deadline for bear hunt
applications is May 2

The Ladies VFW Auxiliary
to Post #6031 met at the Vet-
erans Building on Monday,
March 10. Seven members
were present, according to
Secretary Ramona Bade.
Dorothy Brockhoff pre-
sided in the absence of the
president. All bulletins and
reports were read.
Under old business, 100
percent of the dues are paid.
The Marcella Arnold
Scholarship application is due
Tuesday, April 1.
Marie Kreft is taking care
of the local entry in the Patri-
otic Art Contest by Monday,
March 31. A motion was
made, seconded and passed
that the group present the
local art winner with a mone-
tary award.
Under new business, the
secretary is to submit the del-
egate and alternate form for
the District Convention by
Monday, April 7. Janet Rowe
will attend the convention.
May is VFW Poppy
Month. Chairperson Darlene
Steffer led a discussion re-
garding the poppy sales. She
would like to make the public
more aware by placing
posters in more of the busi-
ness windows. She will report
on the progress of the activity
at the April meeting.
The group showed interest
in a Ladies VFW Scarf that
was advertised in the VFW
Auxiliary magazine. A mo-
tion was made by Marge
Kloeckl, seconded by Janet
Rowe and carried that the
secretary order one so mem-
bers have an opportunity to
determine if they like it. If so,
more could be ordered and
members could wear the
scarves at the events.
Being there was no further
business, the meeting was ad-
journed.
The door prize was won by
Donna Wolter. Lunch was
served by Ramona Bade.
The next meeting will be
held on Monday, April 14.

Sibley County is celebrat-
ing National Public Health
Week from Monday, April 7
through Sunday, April 13.
This year’s theme is “Pub-
lic Health: Start Here.”
Today’s public health pro-
fessionals are helping indi-
viduals and communities nav-
igate the changing world of
public health.
Public Health in Sibley
County was established by
the County Commissioners in
1940. In the early days, Pub-
lic Health provided services
centered around the school,
immunizations, Tuberculin
testing, and completion of re-
ferrals for medical and dental
care. Today, Public Health
services include Home Care,
Family Health, Health Educa-
tion, Case Management,
School Health, Jail Health,
Emergency Preparedness, Im-
munizations, and WIC. Sib-
ley County Public Health also
participates in various grant
activities. Examples are the
Statewide Health Improve-
ment Program (SHIP) that fo-
cuses on healthy behaviors
and communities, and the
Planning and Implementation
(P&I) Grant that focuses on
reducing alcohol use in the
Sibley East school district.
For more information on
Public Health programs,
please contact Sibley County
Public Health and Human
Services at 507-237-4000 or
