The future of the Green Isle
Community School (GICS) is
at stake.
“Enrollment for next fall is
far from where we would like
it to be,” said GICS Director
Mary Menne. “The board has
the tough job of ensuring fis-
cal health of the school while
maintaining the amazing pro-
gram that the community has
grown to expect from GICS.”
The School Board, during a
recent meeting, decided that
the projected enrollment for
the 2015-2016 needs to be at
60 by Thursday, May 14. If
GICS does not reach that pro-
jected number by that dead-
line, there may not be a 2015-
2016 school year at GICS, ac-
cording to Menne. GICS, in
its 10th year, currently has 45
students for next fall.
“We were honest with
everyone about the situation
and have pleaded for commu-
nity help to spread the word
about how awesome this
school is to hopefully get
more families to check us
out,” said Menne. “We have
some large classes that will
be graduating and the kinder-
garten classes have been get-
ting smaller each year. We
know we are not alone in this
problem as many schools face
similar enrollment issues, but
we are unique in that we are a
choice school so marketing is
more challenging for us.”
Menne added that a possi-
ble closing would also finan-
cially impact the City of
Green Isle which owns the
school building.
“I just wish people could
come in the building and see
what happens,” said Menne.
“I have been in so many
classrooms across the U.S.
and can tell you without hesi-
tation there is nothing like the
program GICS provides any-
where else. It is a true dia-
mond hidden in Green Isle
and I for one am so blessed to
have had this school available
for my children to attend.”
Menne added, “GICS is
more than just academics. It’s
helping these kids to learn
how to learn, love learning
and know how to keep learn-
ing on their own. The teach-
ers are passionate about what
they do, the kids are excited
to learn every day, the parents
know their kids are in good
hands. The kids are each met
where they are at and chal-
lenged to grow. The teachers
individualize to meet each
child's needs regardless of
how much additional work it
puts on them. These kids
leave our doors prepared for
the academic journey ahead
of them but more importantly
ready for all of the other chal-
lenges life has waiting for
them. They are well rounded,
articulate, assertive, well be-
haved, civic minded, caring
kids ready to overcome obsta-
cles and be what they are
called to be.”
Menne said she cannot
imagine a world without
multi-age classrooms where
siblings learn to get along and
learn side by side. She cannot
imagine a school where there
is no elders’ program each
spring, no Thanksgiving
wishes, and no bell ringing
throughout the streets in the
fall and spring. In addition, a
school where kids can get
everything they need to learn
and families are always wel-
come into the classroom.
“Green Isle won’t be Green
Isle without GICS,” Menne
said.
Interested families who
have any questions or would
like to tour the school build-
ing are encouraged to contact
Menne at 507-326-7144.
Interested families can also
contact School Board mem-
bers Sharon Ehrich (board
chair and parent member),
Kristen Strauss (board clerk,
parent and teacher member),
Lindsai Djerf (teacher Mem-
ber), Pete Czarnecki (commu-
nity member), Kacy Honl
(community member), Nick
Pollack (community member)
and Dan Brown (community
member).

The Hugger Tree
CLIMB Theatre presented The Hugger Tree
play to the younger students at the Sibley East
Elementary School in Arlington on Tuesday af-
ternoon, April 21. When Cam is home sick
with the flu, a walking, talking deciduous tree
teaches her that the earth is not as healthy as
it should be either. Cam learns that if she, the
kids in the audience, and all their parents and
teachers don’t start taking better care of the
earth, it could end up very sick indeed. With
the Hugger Tree’s entertaining and effective
coaching, Cam learns about resource conser-
vation and the Three R’s: Reduce, Re-use,
and Recycle. CLIMB’s mission is to create and
perform plays, classes, and other works that
inspire and propel people, especially young
people, toward actions that benefit them-
selves, each other, and their communities.

17 locations in town.
Mayor Dale ZumBerge
and City Council members
Shawn Harms, Brian
Oelfke, John Schauer and
Mark Wentzlaff all voted in
favor of the motion.
In an unrelated note, the
City Council authorized
city employee Joe Dacey to

Sons, Hamburg, and seek
proposals on the repair of
four alleys in the city.
In other news, City Attor-
ney Ross Arneson reported

Arneson sent out the let-
ters based on information

Panning.
These property owners
will have until the end of
April to comply with the
city ordinances. After that
point, citations will be is-
sued.
The City Council, in
other action, unanimously
approved a motion to hire
Community Development
Partners 101 as the city’s
inspector effective immedi-
ately.
The City Council made
the move after a presenta-
tion by Darin Haslip.
The Green Isle City
Council will hold its next
regular meeting at 7 p.m.
Tuesday, May 12.
Green Isle votes to repair curb and
gutter at 17 locations for $24,000
By Amy Newsom
Correspondent
The Sibley County Board,
during its regular meeting on
Tuesday, April 28, discussed
the construction bond re-
quirements for the RS Fiber
Project permit.
According to Public Works
Director Tim Becker, RS
fiber is proposing to install a
new fiber optic line along
County State Aid Highway
(CSAH) 8 from Trunk High-
way (TH) 15 over to CSAH
17. The project will install
new fiber within county road
right of way along the ditch
bottoms and back slope of the
ditch. The contractor will
bore the fiber line across the
ditch and cross road loca-
tions.
The Sibley County Board
and RS Fiber agreed to a
$20,000 construction bond to
ensure that road right of way
is restored to existing condi-
tion. This is a blanket bond
that will cover all permits
submitted by RS Fiber.
The $20,000 bond will in-
sure that repairs are complet-
ed to areas that are damaged
during installation of the fiber
line. RS fiber representatives
stated that the areas will be
returned to existing or better
condition.
Other Projects
Becker also updated the
Board on some projects with-
in the County. The Arlington
shop roof replacement began
last week and the project will
require a minor change order
for replacing damaged ply-
wood and re-nailing loose
plywood on the shop roof.
The intersection lighting at
TH 5 and CSAH 15 is now
complete.
CSAH 14 is currently
closed north of TH 25 while
the road culvert is being re-
placed. This project is ex-
pected to take one week.
The Rush River Park re-
pairs were approved for fund-
ing from FEMA on April 2.
Becker said the repairs have
been started and they hope to
be wrapped up in the next
week or so.
The Prairie Line Trail proj-
ect in Arlington is scheduled
to start later this week.
Ditch #39
The Board approved
Bolton and Menk to prepare a
repair report for ditch #39. In
a memorandum to the Board,
County Attorney Dave
Schauer specified that the re-
pair report must show the
necessary repairs, the esti-
mated cost of repairs, and all
the details, plans and specifi-
cations necessary to prepare
and award a contract for the
repairs. Bolton and Menk
have until June 9 to submit
the report to the Auditor’s Of-
fice. The Board will set a
public hearing on the matter
after the repair report is re-
ceived.
Ditch #29
The Board appointed ditch
viewers to determine dam-
ages and set the date for the
engineer’s final report as June
9 at 10:30 am at the final
ditch hearing.
Sibley Wind
Substation
After much discussion
from the Cornish Township
Board of Supervisors and
Sibley Wind Substation
(SWS) representatives, the
Board approved amendment
#3 to the Sibley Wind Substa-
tion Construction Agreement
by a 4-1 vote. Amendment
#3 approves the release of the
$1 million bond and requires
SWS to establish a new per-
formance bond in the amount
of $1 million a minimum of
two weeks prior to any con-
struction beginning. It also
requires SWS to establish a
new Letter of Credit in the
amount of $500,000 a mini-
mum of two weeks prior to
any construction beginning.
Board Chairperson Bill
Pinske recommended that the
Board extend the amendment
to align with the Public Utili-
ties Commission deadline of
July 15. The agreement will
terminate on July 15 if sub-
stantial construction has not
begun. County Commission-
er Bobbie Harder voted
against approving the amend-
ment.
The Public Utilities Com-
mission issued a site permit
to SWS to construct a 20
megawatt large wind conver-
sion system (a proposed 10-
turbine wind farm) in Sibley
County on Sept. 23, 2008.
Cornish Township Board of
Supervisors argued that the
project should have been
completed by now, while
SWS argued that they have
been held up by avian and bat
studies and harsh winter
weather conditions.
Public Health &
Human Services
Public Health and Human
Services Director Vicki Stock
presented the Board with the
department’s first quarter fi-
nancial report. Total revenue
for the first quarter was
$999,463, while expenses
were $1,623,125. Cash on
hand was $4,131,477.00.
Stock also reported that
April 6 – April 12 was Na-
tional Public Health Week.
Sibley County Public Health
supervisors, leads, nurses and
support have 174 years of
combined experience and
home health aides and home-
makers have 134 years of
combined experience. She
also stated that National Ad-
ministrative Professionals
day was April 22 and her
staff has 50 years of accumu-
lated service.
Stock also presented the
Board with a proclamation by
Lucinda E. Jesson, commis-
sioner of the Minnesota De-
partment of Human Services,
proclaiming the month of
April 2015 as Child Abuse
and Neglect Prevention
Month.

Rollover crash near Arlington
A one-vehicle rollover accident reportedly occurred

Two years ago Sibley
County contracted with
Emergency Communications
Network, LLC to license its
CodeRED high-speed notifi-
cation solution. The
CodeRED system provides
county officials the ability to
quickly deliver messages to
targeted areas or the entire
county.
The system, unfortunately,
is only as good as the tele-
phone number database sup-
porting it. If your phone
number is not in the database,
you will not be called. One
of the reasons the CodeRED
system was selected is it
gives individuals and busi-
nesses the ability to add their
own phone numbers directly
into the system's database,
which is an extremely impor-
tant feature.
No one should automatical-
ly assume his or her phone
number is included. All indi-
viduals and businesses are
urged to log onto the Sibley
County’s Emergency Man-
agement website,
(http://www.co.sibley.mn.us/e
mergency_management_ser-
vices/index.php), and follow
the link to the “CodeRED
Community Notification En-
rollment” page.
All businesses should reg-
ister, as well as all individuals

The Spring Clean Up Day
in Green Isle was very suc-
cessful on Saturday, April 25,
according to City Clerk Bert
Panning.
“We filled three large
dumpsters with all kinds of
trash such as mattresses, old
furniture, etc,” said Panning.
“We also had many, many,
electronic items & appli-
ances such as TVs, vacuum
cleaners, water softeners, car,
truck and tractor tires, bulbs,
air conditioners, microwaves,
etc.”
The city also took in sever-
al hundred pounds of metal
items.
“Although we charged for
the appliances, electronic
items, tires, bulbs, it will
cost the city a couple hundred
dollars to cover the expenses
including the labor, but it
was well worth it,” said Pan-
ning.
Spring clean up day
is very successful in
the City of Green Isle

Opinions
Despite a surplus,
there is talk of a special
session or shutdown
Our View: Now is the time for real
leadership at the State Capitol
Letter To The Editor
Guest Column
With a Monday, May 18 legislative adjournment deadline
around the corner, there has been talk about a possible spe-
cial session or even a government shutdown.
Even with a projected $2 billion surplus, this news should
come as no surprise to residents across Minnesota. The
politicians from both parties are back to their old tricks and
games.
The Republicans, who control the House of Representa-
tives, have proposed to cut local government aid to the
Democratic cities of Minneapolis, St. Paul and Duluth.
The Democrats, who control the Senate, want to spend
money and create new programs.
DFL Governor Mark Dayton, who is in bed with Educa-
tion Minnesota, wants to spend a chunk of money on educa-
tion.
It’s the same old song. Both political parties make propos-
als to either upset the other side or to reward their own spe-
cial interest groups and generous donors. The average tax-
payer is not even on the radar.
Most states would love to have a surplus. Minnesota has
one, but it has done nothing except to create more friction
up in St. Paul.
Now is the time for real leadership at the State Capitol in
St. Paul. Lawmakers from both sides of the aisle need to
step up and compromise on various bills for the good of all
Minnesotans.
With a projected $2 billion surplus, lawmakers have a
tremendous opportunity and must a seize the moment. Any-
thing less would be a monumental setback for not just the
state, but its citizens who deserve the best.

Taxiing down the runway, the jet-
liner slowed to a stop, turned around
and returned to the gate.
After an hour’s delay, it finally
took off.
A passenger asked the flight atten-
dant about the problem.
“Well, sir,” explained the flight
attendant. “The pilot was con-
cerned about a noise he heard in
the engine and it took us a while to
find another pilot.”
*****
A state trooper pulled over a driv-
er who was speeding. Hoping to get
off with a warning, the driver tried to
appear shocked when the trooper ap-
proached her car.
“I have never been stopped like
this before,” she told the officer.
“What do they normally do,
ma’am?” he asked. “Shoot the
tires out?”
A motorist found his car bogged
down in a muddy pothole on a coun-
try road. Seeing a farmer on a tractor
in a nearby field, he called out to
him to ask for help. The farmer
agreed to pull his car out of the hole
for $100.
After the car was on dry ground,
the testy driver told the farmer, “At
these prices, you should be pulling
people out of the mud night and
day.”
“Can’t,” the farmer replied as
he hopped back up on his tractor.
“At night I have to haul water for
the hole.”
*****
Bob, an insomniac, was always
late for work because he was so
tired. His boss threatened to fire him
for tardiness if he didn’t fix the
problem.
Bob went to a doctor who pre-
scribed sleeping pills. The first
night, he took one and slept like a
baby. He awoke refreshed, before
the alarm went off, and enjoyed a
leisurely breakfast before heading
off to work. He arrived promptly and
was just sitting down as his desk
when his boss came striding up to
him.
Bob smiled and said, “You know,
the pills actually work and I’m so
glad I decided to ask for help with
my insomnia.”
“That’s fine, Bob,” the boss re-
sponded angrily. “But where were
you yesterday?”
*****
A woman rubbed a lamp and out
popped a genie. “Do I get three
wishes?” she asked.
“Nope, I’m a one-wish genie.
What will it be?”
“See this map?” said the woman.
“I want these countries to stop fight-
ing so we can have world peace.”
“They’ve been at war thousands of
years,” he said. “I’m not that good.
What else do you have?”
“Well, I’d love a good man, ”
asked the woman. “One who’s con-
siderate, loves kids, likes to cook
and doesn’t watch sports all day.”
“Okay,” the genie said with a
sigh. “Let me see that map again.”

By Glenn Mollette
Americans hoard too much stuff.
Everywhere I go in small or large
towns I see storage facilities being
built. Americans have "stuff" and we
need more storage space. We spend
most of our lives wanting stuff and
then we have to worry about keep-
ing or maintaining what we have ac-
cumulated.
My wife and I cleaned out a bed-
room closet recently. I looked
through my clothes and saw too
much I had not worn in the last year.
I bagged it and carried it off to the
local charity pickup truck. I realize
they will sell it but they will sell it
for cheap and somebody else will
hopefully use it. I suspect together
we hauled off seven or eight bags of
clothes. I really don't buy that much
but I had a lot of clothes that I had
accumulated and I thought just
maybe someday I might put some of
them to use. Some stuff was just old
and outdated and as I hate to con-
fess, some of it wouldn't fit any-
more.
One of the good things is that I
can now better see what I really
have to wear and I have worn about
all of it in the last year. Well, wait; I
have a pair of cowboy boots. I
haven't worn them in a long time but
I held onto to them because, well, I
might wear them someday.
I know I have too much stuff.
Honestly, the goal of my life has
never been to have more. I've want-
ed a roof over my head and a warm
place to sleep and some good food
and a comfortable car. I know thou-
sands in America are homeless and I
am fortunate.
The point I am trying to make is
that it just feels so good to get rid of
junk. I feel happier just being able to
walk into my closet. And, maybe my
junk will be somebody else's lucky
buy or find.
We are on a journey through this
world and we try to carry too much.
It's really amazing how little we re-
ally need.
The sooner we realize how little
we really need the sooner we can
enjoy what we have. A happier life
is free from a lot of junk.

American columnist and author. He

To The Editor,
Congratulations to Phil Keithahn
and Gaylord city officials for their
innovative plan to bring a medical
school facility to Gaylord. We can
only hope this becomes a reality as
it would be a tremendous economic
development  project, benefiting the
entire county.

History
District Court
Valerie Alyson Bliss parted
this life and embraced the
next peacefully at home sur-
rounded by her family on
S u n d a y ,
April 26.
Val was
born to Dr.
J a c k s o n
Lind and
Elaine (Pe-
t e r s o n )
Lind in
Kennewick,
Wash., on
March 10, 1954. During her
early years while her father
was in College and Medical
Residency, they moved
around quite a bit and Val had
many fond memories of this
time. They finally ended up
residing in Fargo, N.D., and
that is where she primarily
grew up.
In June of 1975, on an ad-
venture to try something new
with some friends, Val, her
sister, Steph, and a few others
headed to Arlington to re-
spond to an advertisement by
a local produce company
looking for workers. That is
where this free spirited young
lady met Bob Bliss, who she
later married on Dec. 4, 1976,
in Fargo, N.D., and began a
journey that was nothing
short of amazing. Val and
Bob adventured into several
careers with great success in
each and were always adven-
turous and willing to try
something new. Boredom
was not an issue with
Val...everything was always
an adventure.
One thing that truly meas-
ures her success in life is her
family. She always had a
great desire to follow her fa-
ther’s footsteps in medicine,
and when Crystal, their first
daughter was born July 15,
1977, it became very impor-
tant to both Val and Bob that
someone needed to be home
with their child. Val decided
that her children were much
more important than pursuing
higher education and a career
in medicine...at least for the
time being. Then Lexie was
born March 9, 1981, and fam-
ily was elevated again to the
top of their priority list.
Once both girls were in
school, Val, a very intelligent
young lady, enrolled at
NDSU where for about three
years had a 4.0 grade point
average and was on the
Dean’s List every cycle.
When Crystal hit adolescence
and with Lexie saying,
“Mom, I want you home
when I get out of school,” Val
once again recognized her
priorities needed to be more
focused at home and put her
schooling on hold. There is
no question in anyone's mind
that Crystal and Lexie were
the most important thing to
her. Making life the best she
possibly could for her chil-
dren was first and foremost
her highest ambition and pri-
ority. Then came the grand-
babies...and all bets were off.
As important as Crystal,
Lexie, and Corey were to her,
Taylor, Tyler, Livie, Max and
the coming of Lexie’s daugh-
ter were second to none.
Through the love, patience,
and care she provided to each
generation that followed her,
her heritage is strong, alive,
and well.
Throughout Val’s life, an-
other great gift she had was
being a good friend. She is
one that many today would
truthfully say, “Val was my
best friend.” It is amazing, as
most of us are fortunate to go
through life and hopefully
have one...maybe two very
close, best friends...Val had
scores. She was a loving,
caring, non-selfish, care-free
soul that always valued rela-
tionships over anything
else...and most everyone no-
ticed this and gravitated to
her because of it.
Obviously, she will be
deeply missed by all of her
family...she was a key, cen-
tral, and important part of all
their lives. She will also be
missed by many friends as
well. She loved life, she
loved family, she loved peo-
ple...she loved. She was full
of joy, a fun free spirited lady,
extremely honest with every-
one, and always interested in
adventure and good times.
Even upon receiving the
news of her health, these
characteristics of hers did not
waver. A remarkable young
lady that left us with the same
grace and dignity she por-
trayed in life, and left us all
too soon.
She is survived by her lov-
ing husband, Bob Bliss; her
loving children, Crystal and
Corey (Weimer) Bliss of
LaMoure, N.D., and Lexie
Bliss of Minneapolis; the
greatest grandchildren in the
world, Taylor, Tyler, Olivia,
Maxwell and another little
girl on her way (Lexie’s); her
father. Dr. Jack Lind (Bon-
nie); her sister, Steph (Dan)
Zinck; brothers, Jack (Karen)
Lind and Leif Lind; step sib-
lings, Chris (Crystal) Lind,
Stephanie Lind, and Jacob
(Megan) Lind; and a host of
friends that were also very
important to her and too
many to list.
She was preceded in death
by her loving grandmother
that she often called her
mom, Vera Lind; and grand-
father, Jack Lind; her other
grandparents, Maurice and
Francis Peterson; and her
mother, Elaine Lind.
God bless the memory and
generations for a very dear
lady...friend, wife, mother
and grandmother...Valerie
Alyson Bliss.
Shine on you Crazy Dia-
mond!

100 Years Ago
April 29, 1915
Buck & Didra Publishers
Before one of the largest
crowds that ever attended a ball
game at Fairfax, Joe Donlin
pitched the Arlington Greys to
victory over the Fairfax Regu-
lars by a score of 8 to 5. Donlin
struck out 16 of the Fairfaxans
and allowed them 5 hits, a few
of which were of the scratchy
variety. Arlington got to the op-
posing twirlers for a total of 11
safe swats. The fielding of both
teams was decidedly poor,
which is excusable in the first
game of the season.
Electrical storms visited this
section several nights during the
week and put a number of tele-
phone lines out of commission.
The Arlington Milling Co.
shut down the mill Saturday and
it is not known how long it will
remain closed. Inability to make
it pay expenses is said to be the
reason. The mill has always en-
joyed a good trade and turned
out a fine brand of flour and it is
to be regretted that it had to
close.
Oscar Altnow trapped and
shot 1,481 muskrats during the
winter just closed. All the ani-
mals were killed on the lake
near his place and H. M. Noack
& Sons purchased the entire lot.

The rain Sunday night and
Monday gave the grain fields
the moisture they needed...The
rain turned to snow Tuesday
night and a light mantle of the
fleecy white stuff was in evi-
dence Wednesday morning.
Arlington has a population of
over 1100. Enumerators are not
permitted to give figures, so we
will have to wait a few weeks to
get the exact figure...During the
past ten years many new homes
in Arlington were built outside
the corporated limits. It is safe
to say that 150 people of the vil-
lage as a whole are living out-
side the corporated limits. This
number added to the 1, 100
would give Arlington a popula-
tion of about 1,350 if we incor-
porate as a city.
The 4-H Clubs of the county
will erect a modern and com-
modious 4-H building on the
Sibley County Fair grounds this
year if their plans materialize.
John H. Rick, a local young
man who has had several years
of practical experience in elec-
trical work has decided to go
into the business on his own and
has set up a shop in the A. A.
Meyer building, where he al-
ready has a stock of equipment
and appliances on display. He
has taken over the Hotpoint line
of electrical refrigerators, wash
machines, ranges, ironers etc.
and will also do electrical serv-
ice work of all kinds.

Ground was broken here to
officially begin construction of
the new building to house Fire
Engineers, Inc., a manufacturing
plant. The building will be con-
structed a mile northeast of Ar-
lington on land purchased from
Mrs. Willard Phillips.
Starting with the issue of
May 21st the Arlington Enter-
prise will be printed by the “off-
set” method rather than by the
present “letterpress.” The print-
ing will be done by the Crow
River Press at Hutchinson. The
change will make it possible for
the Enterprise to offer color in
ads at a low cost and to use
many pictures. We request that
business firms ask their suppli-
ers for glossy prints of ads in-
stead of mats from now on.
Patrick Foley, 6 1/2-month-
old son of Mr. and Mrs. Paul

rushed to St. Joseph’s Hospital
at Mankato where on Thursday
he had surgery. They were able
to bring him home Sunday and
report him improving nicely.

Too often, adult and youth
riders don’t understand the
safety rules and regulations
that govern all-terrain vehicle
(ATV) use, according to the
Minnesota Department of
Natural Resources.
Thirteen people died riding
ATVs in Minnesota last year
with April and October being
the deadliest months at three
deaths apiece. The riders
ranged in age from 10 to 76.
Another 242 were injured.
“Riding ATVs can be an
enjoyable form of outdoor
recreation when done proper-
ly,” said Jon Paurus, DNR
enforcement education pro-
gram coordinator. “If people
take a safety training course,
reduce speed, and abide by
current regulations, fewer ac-
cidents will occur.”
Anyone born after July 1,
1987, and who operates an
ATV on public lands and wa-
ters in Minnesota, must suc-
cessfully complete the ATV
safety training CD course.
People under age 16 must
complete the ATV CD course
and riding component before
riding on public lands. Youth
and adult ATV training CDs
are available by calling 800-
366-8917 or 888-646-6367. A
few simple safety rules and
regulations can prevent most
accidents. Remember:
ATVs are not toys and can
be hazardous to operate. Su-
pervise young riders at all
times.
ATV operators less than 18
years old must wear an ap-
proved safety helmet, except
when operating on private
property. To prevent head in-
juries, everyone should wear
a helmet.
An ATV handles different-
ly from other vehicles. Even
routine maneuvers, such as
turning and driving on hills
and over obstacles, can lead
to serious injury if the driver
fails to take proper precau-
tions. With preparation and
practice, operators can safely
develop and expand their rid-
ing skills.
Youth need to “fit” the ma-
chine. A 60- to- 120 pound
youth and a 400-pound ATV
are a mismatch.

found in the 2014-2015 Off-

With lakes becoming ice-
free and waters beginning to
warm this spring, some
lakeshore property owners
may need a permit to remove
aquatic plants from their
shorelines.
“Each year we hear about
property owners who get into
trouble by removing aquatic
plants,” said Steve Enger, su-
pervisor of the aquatic plant
management program for the
Minnesota Department of
Natural Resources. “We want
people to know that a permit
may be required to remove
lake plants, which are essen-
tial components of freshwater
ecosystems.”
The DNR’s aquatic plant
regulations are summarized
online.
“There are very specific
situations and requirements
that mandate when someone
needs a permit to remove
aquatic plants,” Enger said.
“That’s why we encourage
property owners to consult
the regulations online to see
if they need a permit.”
Aquatic plants provide
food and shelter for fish and
wildlife. They stabilize the
lake environment, and help
maintain water clarity by lim-
iting the availability of nutri-
ents and preventing suspen-
sion of bottom sediments.
These plants also protect
shorelines from erosion by
absorbing wave and ice ener-
gy. A healthy aquatic plant
community is a critical com-
ponent to maintaining the
high quality lakes that Min-
nesotans value.
“We love to fish, boat and
enjoy time on the water in
Minnesota,” Enger said.
“Many of the features we
enjoy most about lakes are di-
rectly linked to healthy aquat-
ic vegetation. That’s why we
want to work with property
owners to answer their ques-
tions about what is allowed
when it comes to plant re-
moval on their shorelines.”
A guide to aquatic plants
and information on aquatic
plant regulations is available
on the DNR website, or by
calling 651-296-6157 or 888-
646-6367.

PUBLIC NOTICE:
Farming in Road Right-of-Ways
can create safety problems
Sibley County Public Works has noted an increased use of highway
right-of-way (ROW) for agricultural purposes. Roadside mowing in
the ROW is permitted for the purpose of weed control or making hay,
but tillage or crop production is not permitted (M.S.160.2715).
Tillage or crop production in the ROW can cause safety issues, affect
road structure, and create maintenance problems.
Highway ROW includes driving lanes, shoulders, road ditches, and
sight corners at intersections. Township road ROW typically extends
33 feet from either side of the center of the road; and county road
ROW typically extends 50 feet from either side of the center of the
road. Utility poles and pedestals often serve as good indicators of
ROW limits; however, it is the landowner responsibility to know the
ROW limits. The Township Boards and Public Works Department
have no desire or intention to measure every ROW line, and appreci-
ate the general good farming practices of our agricultural producers.
Anyone who damages or alters the ROW will be held responsible for
all costs of restoration. When these activities are identified, the road
agency will contact the landowner to reestablish the ROW where it
has been encroached upon.
Please feel free to contact any member of the following Township
Boards or Sibley County Public Works with questions, or attend the
regular Township Board or County Board meetings.

Do you want to make a dif-
ference in your community?
Have you, or someone you’ve
known, ever been diagnosed
with cancer?
Cancer patients often miss
or delay treatments due to fi-
nancial strain, physical limi-
tations or because they do
not have access to reliable
transportation.
Sibley County residents
can help these cancer patients
by giving them a potentially
life-saving ride. The Ameri-
can Cancer Society is cur-
rently seeking volunteers for
its Road to Recovery pro-
gram which provides free
transportation to those bat-
tling cancer.
Every year there are new
Sibley County residents diag-
nosed with a life-altering can-
cer. Many of them need as-
sistance at a time in their life
that is extremely difficult.
Finding a ride to and from
their appointments and treat-
ments should not be their
biggest concern. So how can
you help?
Road to Recovery is look-
ing for volunteers in the Sib-
ley County area that have re-
liable transportation, driver’s
license and proof of insur-
ance, are willing to submit to
a background and department
of motor vehicle check, and
can commit to a short training
session. Most rides occur dur-
ing the day Monday through
Friday, so daytime availabili-
ty is also a must. Following
training, volunteers can com-
mit as many or as few hours
as their schedule allows.
To learn how you can be-
come a Road to Recovery
volunteer, call 800.227.2345,
according to Rick Jeddeloh
and Mary Cassem.
