After seeing the bids for
the 2013 bituminous overlay
project, the Sibley County
Board of Commissioners had
a change of heart and will go
after a higher quality of road
surface on CASH 8.
Darin Mielke, Public
Works Director, told the
board at the meeting on Tues-
day, May 14 that the low bid
was close to 25 percent under
the engineer ’s estimate of
around $3,030,000. That was
the reason why Mielke re-
turned to the question about a
possible more expensive up-
grade to CASH 8.
At the previous meeting,
the board decided to stay with
a less expensive overlay
process.
However, their eyes were
opened wider with the good
news that the low bid by ton
was similar to the 2008 and
2009 season.
“We couldn’t believe how
aggressively they bid this
job, ” said Mielke about
William Mueller and Sons,
Inc. “If you include a simple
overlay of CASH 8, the total
project cost is just under $2.3
million and our engineer’s es-
timate was just over $3 mil-
lion. That is about $700,000
less than what we had antici-
pated.”
Of the $2.3 million, Mielke
said about $500,000 is county
funds, going for county roads
that are not eligible for state
aid funding or it is for patch-
ing projects.
“We are going to use $1.8
million of our state aid allot-
ment,” said Mielke. “If we
look at our 2014 funding as
well, we still have $1.2 mil-
lion left on the table.”
The cost for grinding up
the pavement on CASH 8 and
paving it three and a half to
four inches deep would be
about $1.2 to $1.5 million.
“The county could be look-
ing at the state aid allotment
covering the project com-
pletely if it advances 2014
funds forward,” said Mielke.
“You may have to throw in
$200,000, but it would be a
very permanent fix for that
road.”
The life expectancy for the
overlay is 12 to 13 years
compared to 25 to 30 with the
paving.
Mielke suggested at this
point the board could award
the bid as is today and then
try to work out a negotiated
supplement agreement. Or it
could table the award to look
at the full picture.
Commissioner Bill Pinske
thought the county could
make the award as it is and
make an amendment later. He
added, “I would hate to tell
someone ahead of time that
we will work it out. We can
say we are going to look at
it.”
The cost for the upgrade is
between five and six dollars
more per ton because of bet-
ter quality asphalt, according
to Mielke.
“That is certainly a pleasant
surprise because I think we
were all looking at that but
the impact on the budget was
such that we could not live
with it,” said Pinske. “If it is
only a couple hundred thou-
sand dollars, we could take
that out of reserves.”
The board voted to accept
the current low bid and then
go after the upgrade.
• In other action the low
bid by Structural Specialties,
Inc. of $404,933. 65 for a
bridge construction project
came in at 23.60 percent
under estimate. The highest
bid was 27.88 percent over
estimate.
• A contract with Pro Land-
scape was approved for one
year of lawn maintenance and
snow removal around county
buildings.
During the year there will
be research into the possible
use of the Sentencing to Serv-
ice (STS) work program. At
the same time, the county
signed off on the income con-
tract with the state for the
STS program.
*Hearings were set on June
25 for minor alterations to
two ditches, County ditch 54
at 9:30 a.m. and Judicial
Ditch 20 at 1 p.m.
• The public hearing on the
engineer’s preliminary report
for the establishment of a
new drainage system project
on County Ditch No. 70 was
set for 2 p.m. Tuesday, May
28.

proposed affiliation be-
tween the Sibley Medical
Center (SMC) and
Ridgeview Medical Center
(RMC) will be held at the
Arlington Community

During the past several
months, the SMC and the
Arlington City Council
have been in discussions
in regard to a deeper rela-
tionship between SMC
and RMC.
“We are excited to share
at the public forum how
the synergies of an affilia-
tion between our two or-
ganizations will benefit
the residents of the com-
munities we serve,” said
SMC Administrator Todd
Sandberg.
In a rapidly changing
healthcare environment,
the City of Arlington,
SMC Board and leader-
ship of SMC is working to
ensure that community
members continue to have
access to patient-centered
quality care, according to
Sandberg.

Cancer Cruise
Approximately 70 to 75 units were part of the Cancer
Cruise of Sibley County in Arlington on Saturday, May
18, according to organizer Felicia Brockoff. A car
show was held in the parking lot at St. Paul’s Luther-
an Church at noon. The event included classics,
bikes, rat rods, trucks and any street legal vehicle.
Only Toons DJ played 50’s and 60’s music. In addi-
tion, there were trivia and prizes. The cancer cruise,
which paraded down Main Street in Arlington at 4
p.m., toured the eastern part of Sibley County and
ended in Henderson. Over $2,000 was raised for the
Sibley County Relay For Life. Cologne residents
Steve and Brenda Alseth drove their 1954 Chevy 210
down Main Street.

The Arlington City Coun-
cil, during its regular meeting
on Monday night, May 20,
voted 4-0 and approved a
motion to offer the mainte-
nance supervisor position to
local resident Jason Lovaas.
City Council members Ben
Jaszewski, Jennifer Nuesse,
Jason Ruehling and Galen
Wills all voted in favor of the
motion.
City Council member Curt
Reetz, who is related to Lov-
aas, abstained from the vote.
The City Council made the
move based on a recommen-
dation from a hiring commit-
tee comprised of Nuesse,
Ruehling and Interim City
Administrator Cynthia Smith-
Strack. The committee inter-
viewed the five finalists last
week. Incoming City Admin-
istrator Liza Donabauer also
participated in the interview
via telephone.
Lovaas accepted the posi-
tion and began his new duties
on Tuesday morning, May
21. His hourly wage will be
$18.43 which is on the sixth
step of the 12-step wage
scale, according to Smith-
Strack.
He replaces the late Dan
“Buck” Thomes who passed
away unexpectedly on Satur-
day, March 23.
Lovaas, who grew up in
Onamia by Mille Lacs, has
lived in Arlington for 11
years. He and his wife, Elissa
(Hebeisen) Lovaas, have
three children. Lovaas
worked for Ramsey Excavat-
ing and Kraus Anderson Con-
struction. He has 15 years of
experience in construction.
His hobbies are hunting, four
wheeling and spending time
with family.
Other Business
In other business, the City
Council unanimously ap-
proved a motion to approve
the 2012 audit financial state-
ments as presented by Tom
Olinger from Abdo, Eick &
Meyers.
“The general fund is in re-
ally healthy shape, ” said
Olinger.
He later added that, “Over-
all, the audit went very well
and very smooth.”
In other news, Smith-
Strack and Lowell Nagel pre-
sented the yearly update from
the Arlington Planning Com-
mission.
The Planning Commission
functions in three distinct ca-
pacities: planning capacity,
legislative capacity and regu-
latory capacity.
The officers are Chairper-
son Lowell Nagel, Vice
Chairperson Dwight Gra-
bitske and Secretary Jeff
Pinske. The remaining mem-
bers are Michelle Battcher,
Richard Nagel and Mike Vrk-
lan.
In other action, the City
Council unanimously ap-
proved a motion to hire
Nathan Henke for part-time,
temporary spring mowing
and weed trimming.
The Arlington City Council
will hold its next regular
meeting at 6:30 p.m. Mon-
day, June 3.
Lovaas is hired as new
maintenance supervisor
The detour for the bridge
work on Highway 5 east of
Gaylord will be removed
soon after Memorial Day and
traffic restrictions from Gay-
lord to Arlington are expected
to follow beginning May 31,
weather permitting. according
to a news release from the
Minnesota Department of
Transportation (Mn/DOT).
The resurfacing operation
from First Street in Gaylord
to Sheila Drive in Arlington
will restrict traffic to one lane
with flagging operations and
a pilot car. Motorists are ad-
vised to drive with caution
through the work zone and
watch for workers, equipment
and traffic control devices.
The reconstruction of side-
walk ramps on Highway 5 in
Arlington will continue for
another three weeks. The
sidewalk improvements will
be made on alternating ramps
so that pedestrians are not in-
convenienced.
Central Specialties, Inc.,
Alexandria is the contractor
on the $2,593,892 project.
The project should be com-
plete in early July. Motorists
can expect a smoother ride on
Highway 5 and pedestrians in
Arlington will have ADA
compliant sidewalks.
A second project on High-
way 5 from Arlington to
Green Isle is scheduled to
begin in July.

Sibley County Commis-
sioners are not ready to act on
a marketing agreement pro-
posal to utilize a Coast2Coast
Rx drug prescription card in-
volving discounts and re-
bates.
Public Health and Human
Service Director Vicki Stock
told the board at the May 14
meeting that the prescription
card offering discounted rates
would be used by the public
and jail inmates.
“There is no cost to the
county to implement this pro-
gram,” said Stock. “Plus, the
county does receive a small
amount of rebate money. This
is endorsed by the Associa-
tion of Minnesota Counties
(AMC). Several counties
have incorporated the pro-
gram. I see it as a win-win
because the jail inmates can
use it, which I assume would
save the county some dol-
lars.”
Cards would be available
for pickup at the public health
office and at area drug stores.
County Administrator Matt
Jaunich said there is some
concern from staff and coun-
sel that if approved it would
appear the county is endors-
ing one company or product
over another. He called it a
policy decision.
“The agreement provides
that we endorse them, which
is not exclusive,” said County
Attorney David Schauer. “If
you use another product, the
discount or rebate we get for
every use of the card decreas-
es significantly. They also
want to be on our county
website. They want the right
to use the county seal. They
do the advertising. I raise the
issue if the county wants to
be in the business of raising
one private business over an-
other.”
Schauer offered an exam-
ple of what if other compa-
nies come and say let us be
on the county website in ex-
change for services like oil
changes.
“If the board does want to
go that route then you need to
think long-term,” advised
Schauer. “Are we going to
have a policy of who can use
the card or can anybody be
endorsed by the county?”
Stock said other counties
report that they do not end up
with a huge rebate, but they
are all very happy with the
program that works with
local pharmacies. She added
the prescription card is for
people who are under in-
sured, but anybody can use it.
County Commissioner Jim
Swanson suggested the board
do a trial for a year to see
what bang they get for the
buck. Or, the county can opt
out.
County Commissioner Bill
Pinske asked if the county
can live without this card.
“My fear with this is if this
outfit is big and comes to say
you are going to accept so
much for a prescription,” said
Pinske. “If you lose a drug
store in a small town you are
not doing a good service to
your constituents.”
County Commissioner Jim
Nytes asked if the company
would be willing to come
make a presentation. Pinske
asked if local drug stores can
be asked if they think this is a
good idea and want to go
along with it.
“If pharmacies are regulat-
ed with what they can charge,
it is not going to help them
any,” said Swanson.
Stock said that is true with
any medical insurance com-
pany saying what they are
willing to pay.
Pinske added, “We are not
necessarily opposed to this,
but I am in need of more in-
formation.”

For nine days in March, 14
high school students from Le
Sueur-Henderson took their
bright and eager minds to
Costa Rica where they had
thrilling adventures, experi-
enced a new culture and
learned things about the
world and themselves, ac-
cording to an article in the Le
Sueur Herald.
“It’s such a good experi-
ence for the kids,” said Maria
Reinhardt, a Spanish teacher
at LS-H High School who ac-
companied the students on
the trip. “So many kids have
never been on a plane and
never left the country of even
the state.” In a coast-to-coast
tour of this small nation these
lucky students explored vast
tropical forests, stood in awe
at the sight of a volcano, felt
ocean waves crash in on their
feet and even white water
rafted.
Le Sueur-Henderson students learn and grow in Costa Rica

The Minnesota Pollution
Control Agency (MPCA) re-
cently recognized People
Service employee Michael
Barthel from the City of Ar-
lington for maintaining a per-
fect record of compliance
with its wastewater treatment
permit during 2012. This
year, the City of Arlington
wastewater treatment facility
was among 168 wastewater
facilities statewide to receive
this recognition.
MPCA Commissioner John
Linc Stine had high praise for
the award recipients.
“Last summer, MPCA had
a rare opportunity to evaluate
the Minnesota River under
extreme drought conditions,”
said Stine. “These tests were
a chance for us to find out
whether tougher standards for
nearby wastewater treatment
plants were improving the
quality of the river. The tests
confirmed what we had al-
ready observed: that the work
of nearby wastewater opera-
tors has made a clear and
measurable difference in the
health of the Minnesota
River. So, this year, we can
tell Minnesotans with even
more certainty: your commu-
nity’s wastewater operators
are doing good work to pro-
tect Minnesota’s environment
and keep our water fishable
and swimmable.”
To be eligible for the
award, facility operators were
required to submit all moni-
toring reports to the MPCA
correctly and on time,
demonstrate consistent com-
pliance through monitoring or
surveys and employ MPCA-
certified operators. The City
of Arlington first received
this award in 1991 and has
earned an award 12 times
since then.
The awards were presented
at the 76th annual Wastewater
Operations Conference in
Brooklyn Park.
The annual Wastewater
Operations Conference brings
together wastewater operators
from Minnesota for training
and professional education.
There are about 1,360 munic-
ipal and industrial wastewater
treatment facilities in Min-
nesota. The size of the com-
munity, institution or treat-
ment plant was not a factor in
awarding the certificates of
excellence.

Despite disliking the idea
of a legal clause not being re-
moved, the Sibley County
Board of Commissioners
gave final approval to a mem-
ber agreement for a new pro-
curement card system at the
meeting on Tuesday, May 14.
At the previous meeting,
County Treasurer Mary Fish-
er presented a proposal to
change from the current cred-
it card program to a procure-
ment program which is ex-
pected to decrease the
amount of late credit card fi-
nance charges and save the
county money.
County Attorney David
Schauer had concerns about a
clause saying the county de-
clines the right for a jury trial
in case of a dispute. The
board voted to approve the
program contingent on
Schauer giving it his ap-
proval.
County Administrator Matt
Jaunich said the company
was asked to take out the
clause and it declined.
Jaunich said he had seen
the clause in quite a few con-
tracts and does not see it to be
an issue. Plus, the staff rec-
ommended moving ahead.
“I don’t like to see the
county give up its rights, but
it is a policy decision,” said
Schauer. “A jury trial gives us
the opportunity to be heard
by six people besides just a
judge. If we have issues we
can say we want to back out
of our agreement.”
County Commissioner Jim
Nytes said it was a good fi-
nancial decision to go ahead
and moved for approval.

Painting A Wooden Stool
Jake Lucas watched his son, Brock
Lucas, paint a wooden stool they con-
structed during an event at St. Paul’s
Lutheran School in Arlington on Friday
morning, May 17. Gaylord resident
Albie Kuphal, who passed away nine
years ago, began this project for
kindergarten students in Sibley County
17 years ago. Bird feeders were con-
structed in the first three years while
wooden stools have been constructed
the last 14 years. A group of Gaylord
men have continued the tradition and
assist all kindergarten students in Sib-
ley County and the Lafayette Charter
School. The volunteers and kinder-
garten students, along with family
members, constructed about 225 wood-
en stools this year. The local project is
funded by Haggenmiller Lumber and
the Sibley County Chapter of Thrivent
Financial For Lutherans.
For the past four consecu-
tive years, the City of Arling-
ton has been recognized by
the Arbor Day Foundation as
a “Tree City USA.” One of
the requirements for a city to
be recognized as such is to
have an Arbor Day Proclama-
tion and observance.
This year, Arlington’s
Arbor Day will be observed
by continuation of the city-
wide tree inventory, as well
as tree plantings. Mayor Jim
Kreft will be reading the
Arbor Day Proclamation and
City Forester, Stephen
Nicholson, will be collaborat-
ing with Christine Butler’s
Sibley East High School biol-
ogy students on boulevard
tree location, identification,
and evaluation. The students
gain useful knowledge of tree
identification and care, along
with hands-on application of
classroom-learned tech-
niques, and important lessons
in community service. A tree
inventory is a tool by which
our city can evaluate the
overall health of our urban
forest, and plan for tree prun-
ing, removal, and replanting.
The area Girl Scouts have ea-
gerly volunteered to assist in
planting trees in Memorial
Park. The trees have been
generously donated by the
Sibley Medical Center.

Memorial Day is a time
to remember those people
who have died in service
Our View: Purpose of Memorial Day has
not changed in Arlington and Green Isle
Opinions
Guest Column
Letters To The Editor
Memorial Day is a time to remember and honor the brave
men and women who have died in service of our country. It is
also a time to remember and honor the veterans who have
passed away after their service in the military.
Some people believe the holiday has strayed from that pur-
pose. Instead of an official day of remembrance and mourn-
ing, they feel it has become an unofficial kickoff to a vaca-
tion season.
That may be true in some communities around the country,
but it is certainly not the case in Arlington and Green Isle.
The veterans service organizations in both communities
have traditionally featured meaningful programs which have
been well attended by local and area residents on Memorial
Day over the years.
One bright note to this traditionally subdued observance is
the way the veterans service organizations have gotten the
youth involved in these programs. The Sibley East senior
high band and Boy Scouts have participated in the yearly
program over the years and it is the hope that these youth will
pass the importance of this holiday on to their children in the
future.
Memorial Day is only a few days away and there is no
doubt that local and area residents will again attend the pro-
grams at Memorial Park in Arlington and the gymnasium at
the Green Isle Community School on Monday, May 27.
It is important for local and area residents to take one hour
out of their lives to attend these programs to honor and reflect
on the more than 45 million men and women who have
served in the military in a long distinguished line going back
to the American Revolution and to the more than one million
veterans who have died in that service.

A little boy at a wedding looks at
his mom and says, “Mommy, why
does the bride wear white?”
His mom replies, “The bride is in
white because she’s happy and this
is the happiest day of her life.”
The boys thinks about this, and
then says, “Well then why is the
groom wearing black?”

An elderly couple had been expe-
riencing declining memories, so they
decided to take a power memory
class where one is taught to remem-
ber things by association.
A few days after the class, the old
man was outside talking with his
neighbor about how much the class
helped him.
“What was the name of the in-
structor?” asked the neighbor.
“Oh, ummmm, let’s see,” the old
man pondered. “You know that
flower, you know, the one that
smells really nice but has those
prickly thorns, what’s that flower’s
name?”
“A rose?” asked the neighbor.
“Yes, that's it,” replied the old
man. He then turned toward his
house and shouted, “Hey, Rose,
what’s the name of the instructor
we took the memory class from?”

Mary was having a tough day and
had stretched herself out on the
couch to do a bit of what she thought
to be well-deserved complaining and
self- pitying.
She moaned to her mom and
brother, “Nobody loves me ... the
whole world hates me!”
Her brother, busily occupied
playing a game, hardly looked up
at her and passed on this encour-
aging word: “That’s not true,
Mary. Some people don't even
know you.”

There were three construction
workers that always got the same
thing for lunch. All of them were
tired of eating the same thing over
and over again.
First worker : “I hate sandwiches.
If I get sandwiches for lunch again
tomorrow I’m jumping off that
bridge.”
Second worker : “Oh my Gosh! If
I see another taco I’m going to jump
off that bridge tomorrow.”
Third worker: “Beans again? I will
jump off that bridge tomorrow if I
get beans for lunch again.”
The next day they all got the same
thing for lunch so each jumped off
the bridge and died.
Their wives were inconsolable.
First wife: “If I knew he would do
that, I would have never packed him
sandwiches!”
Second wife: “If I knew he would
do that, I would have never packed
him tacos!”
Third wife: “If I knew he would
do that, I never would have let
him pack his own lunch!”
By Amy Klobuchar
U.S. Senator
Across Minnesota, communities
have been facing a rash of robberies.
But these thieves aren’t your com-
mon thugs stealing TVs or comput-
ers – instead they’re going after
high-priced metal from businesses,
homes and even veterans’ graves,
and selling it to scrap dealers to
make a quick buck.
In Rochester, I met with a local
business that has been robbed by
metal thieves 12 times in just the
past two years and suffered more
than $150,000 in losses. During one
of these robberies, thieves even stole
a truck with the company logo on it,
and then used that truck to rob other
construction sites without raising
suspicion.
In St. Paul, metal thieves stole
$20,000 worth of copper pipes from
the Phalen Ice Rink, causing the rink
to temporarily close until local busi-
nesses offered to pitch in for repairs.
And in Isanti County, in an act too
callous to comprehend, criminals
stole more than 200 brass stars from
veterans’ graves over Memorial Day
weekend.
This crime can also threaten pub-
lic safety. Metal thieves have caused
explosions in vacant buildings by
stealing metal from gas lines and
they’ve caused blackouts by stealing
copper wiring from streetlights and
electrical substations.
What’s more, the problem is get-
ting worse. The worldwide price of
copper has increased significantly.
As a result, thieves are eager to steal
copper and resell it to scrap metal
dealers. In recent years metal theft
has jumped nationally by more than
80%, with an estimated cost of up to
$900 million each year for copper
wire theft. It’s is clear we need to
take action.
This is a national problem that
will require a national solution with
federal, state, and local officials
working together. While some states
like Minnesota have a tougher metal
theft laws, that doesn’t stop thieves
from stealing metal from one state
and selling it in other states.
That is why I introduced legisla-
tion with Republican Senators Lind-
say Graham from South Carolina
and John Hoeven of North Dakota
to crack down on metal thieves na-
tionwide and make it harder for
them to sell their stolen metal.
Our bill makes it a federal crime
to steal metal from critical infra-
structure and ensures we have tough
penalties for those who break the
law. The bill also contains a “Do
Not Buy” provision which bans
scrap metal recyclers from buying
certain items unless the sellers es-
tablish with written documentation
that they are authorized to sell the
scrap metal in question.
Under our legislation scrap metal
dealers will be required to keep de-
tailed records of metal purchases for
two years and make them available
to law enforcement agencies. Final-
ly, the bill would require that pur-
chases of scrap metal over $100 be
done by check instead of cash to
help law enforcement track down
thieves.
In order to stop these thieves from
wreaking havoc on families’ homes,
businesses’ bottom lines, and even
veterans’ graves, we need to take
swift action to crack down and force
these criminals to pay a heavy price
when caught. I will continue to work
with law enforcement, local commu-
nities, and my colleagues in the Sen-
ate to get this done.
Fighting metal theft in Minnesota communities
To The Editor,
The last day of the 2013 legisla-
tion brings to an end five months of
Democrat overreach. Since the be-
ginning of session, Democrats have
taken every opportunity to expand
government, take more of your
hard-earned tax dollars, and divide
Minnesotans with divisive social is-
sues at the behest and direction of
the far-left special interests who
swept them into office by spending
millions to purchase a friendly legis-
lature to do their bidding.
During their short time in the ma-
jority, Democrats have brought forth
a lot of bad legislation, but on the
last day of session, by one vote, De-
mocrats passed a bill I consider
morally reprehensible. This bill aims
to unionize childcare providers -- in-
dependent small business owners --
forcing providers who don't wish to
join a union to either pay fair share
dues or not accept low-income chil-
dren who receive childcare assis-
tance program subsidies.
The fact that Democrats are will-
ing to force unionization on
providers who don’t want it at the
expense of low-income children and
families is one of the most outra-
geous things I’ve seen in my time at
the legislature. This is nothing more
than a power-grab for union organi-
zations. It’s not what’s best for Min-
nesota, it's a “thank you” to labor
union bosses who spent millions to
get them elected. The bill author ad-
mitted as much during an interview
on WCCO.
The state of Minnesota will now
spend $4 million of taxpayer money
to hold an election for a union that
providers don’t want. This election
will likely mean unnecessary
headaches for childcare providers. A
recent article in the Sauk Centre
Herald outlined the deceptive and
intimidating practices employed by
union organizers that will be
brought to the doorsteps of Min-
nesota's 11,000 childcare providers
to coerce them into supporting the
union.
The unions have a vested interest
in making sure this election goes in
their favor; they currently have
about $8 million dollars in debt after
spending millions to elect Democ-
rats to the legislature. If successful,
it’s estimated that the childcare
union would bring in $8-$13 million
dollars. How convenient.
Minnesota parents, children, and
childcare providers did not ask to be
brought into a legalized money-
laundering scheme to pay back
union special interests. Dozens of
my GOP colleagues spent many
hours calling every single childcare
provider in their district. Support for
the union was extremely sparse. The
results were conclusive -- many
times fewer than five percent in sup-
port. I can’t imagine that my col-
leagues across the aisle heard results
much different from ours, yet they
voted for this disgrace of a bill any-
way.
I hope childcare providers remain
vigilant and do their research about
the potential impacts that this union-
ization effort will have. Higher
childcare costs thanks to expensive
union dues, and fewer choices for
the parents of low-income parents is
not something that will be good for
providers or good for Minnesota
parents.

Democrats brought forth bad legislation
To The Editor, 
The only good thing about the
legislative session is that it's over.
Unfortunately, the damage inflicted
on families, taxpayers and employ-
ers will be long lasting and far
reaching.  The overreach of this De-
mocrat controlled House, Senate and
Governorship was historical.  We
can only hope their exuberance will
lead to the loss of majority in the
next election.  Even then, it will be
very difficult to repair the damage to
our society and beloved State of
Minnesota.

A rift over the cost of fire
services has Kelso Town-
ship making a change, ac-
cording to a recent article
in the Le Sueur News Her-
ald.
The Kelso Township
Board of Supervisors re-
cently voted unanimously
to break its fire protection
contract with the City of Le
Sueur and requested it be
put into effect immediately.
Stipulations in the contract
means Kelso Township will
continue to receive fire pro-
tection from the City of Le
Sueur until the beginning of
October, at which time it
will obtain services from
Arlington at less than half
of the cost.
“It wasn’t just Kelso that
was upset,” said Lyle
Wiest, a supervisor for
Kelso Township.
“No one is complaining
about the quality of serv-
ice,” said Terry Genelin,
who serves as clerk for
Prairie Lake Township.

Several hundred people from
various states attended the
fourth annual Arlington Polka
Festival last Friday, Saturday
and Sunday. Overall, five polka
bands provided musical enter-
tainment throughout the three-
day event.
Six Sibley East students re-
cently participated in the 17th
annual Minnesota Technology
Education Association Super-
mileage Challenge at the Brain-
erd International Raceway. The
students who attended are in
Mark Standinger ’s Applied
Technology course at the Sibley
East Senior High School in Ar-
lington. According to Stan-
dinger, one objective of the
challenge was to build a vehicle
to provide students with a time-
ly and meaningful learning ex-
perience in vehicle design and
fabrication in the area of trans-
portation. Students who attend-
ed were Jordan Berg, Andy
Mathwig, Luke Geib, Brent Al-
sleben, Tyler Weber and Reed
Vos.
Some of the students who are
enrolled in the new Green Isle
Community School, along with
their parents, recently made and
delivered May baskets to Green
Isle homes and businesses. De-
livering these traditional spring
greetings is one of the first steps
students, staff and families are
doing to connect with the com-
munity as well as to engage in
service learning.

On Monday, May 20, the
Minnesota Legislature ad-
dressed the state’s budget for
Fiscal Years 2014 and 2015.
The tax plan to pay for it all
passed almost exclusively by
House and Senate Democrats
and includes $2.1 billion in a
variety of new taxes, accord-
ing to a news release from the
office of State Senator Scott
Newman (R-Hutchinson).
In total, it spends $38.3 bil-
lion, the largest in state histo-
ry. This is an 8.1 percent in-
crease over the current budg-
et of $35.4 billion and re-
flects an increase of over $10
billion in less than a decade.
Newman voted in opposition
to the tax plan that increases
an array of sales, income, and
business taxes.
New sales tax items pushed
by Governor Mark Dayton
and Democrat leaders include
taxes on internet purchases,
digital downloads like iTunes
and eBooks, car rentals, stor-
age facilities and equipment
repair for businesses. Addi-
tionally, cigarettes will see a
$1.60 per pack sales tax in-
crease.
“If you remember one
thing about this legislative
session, it’s that everyone
will pay more in taxes for an
increasingly wasteful and in-
efficient government,” said
Senator Newman.
On top of new sales taxes,
income tax rates will rise 25
percent for individuals earn-
ing over $150,000 and cou-
ples earning over $250,000.
Minnesota companies will
find that the Governor and
Majority caucuses also elimi-
nated the Foreign Operating
Credit and Foreign Royalty
Deduction. On the removal of
these business incentives,
Senator Newman stated, “Of
all the tax increases, I believe
these will have the greatest
adverse effect on our state
economy, because Minnesota
will be telling the business
world that they are not wel-
come here, and remember,
private business is the only
real source of revenue avail-
able to fund government
spending.”
To consume this enormous
budget, various omnibus
spending bills will add hun-
dreds of new full-time gov-
ernment employees, add nu-
merous new advisory task
forces and enumerable enti-
tlement programs, all in an
inevitable march towards big-
ger government.
“While we did work in a
bipartisan manner on neces-
sary issues like the Minnesota
Sex Offender Program and a
bonding bill for the Minneso-
ta State Capitol restoration
and the Minneapolis Veterans
Home, this session was inun-
dated with bills to unionize
childcare providers, increase
in minimum wage and legal-
izing same sex marriage,”
said Newman. “These are not
the issues hard working tax-
payers of Minnesota need us
to be working on. We should
be focused on what we can
do that will best help stimu-
late our economy and create
private sector jobs.”
Newman added, “I want to
thank all the constituents who
wrote, called, emailed, and
visited me during the session.
Your views, opinions, experi-
ence, and expertise you
shared is very important, and
I’m honored to serve as your
state Senator. Please stay in
touch.”
The legislature will begin
the 2014 session at noon
Tuesday, February 25, 2014.
Newman says everyone will pay
more, get less with the majority’s
wasteful tax and spending plan

In order to allow the senior
high band to play in all three
communities and since there
is only one band director,
there will be some time
changes to the Memorial Day
programs in Arlington, Green
Isle and Gaylord on Monday,
May 27.
The Memorial Day pro-
grams will be held at Memo-
rial Park in Arlington at 8:30
a.m.; City Park in Gaylord at
10 a.m.; and Green Isle Com-
munity School at 11:30 a.m.
“With Mr. Pilacinski retir-
ing, I am now in charge of all
bands fifth grade through
12th grade,” said Sibley East
Band Director Jim Callahan.
“I met with the Legion com-
manders and other coordina-
tors for Memorial Day from
all three communities and
worked out a schedule so that
the band could perform at all
three services. It was impor-
tant to me to find a way for
us to be at all three services.
There had to be some creativ-
ity with the scheduling of the
services, but we have a plan
that should work for us into
the future.”
Callahan continued, “It
made the most sense from a
logistical standpoint to have
the high school group per-
form at all three services. I
added the ninth graders to the
mix for two reasons. One,
we will have a bigger band
and a fuller sound, and two,
it’s a good way for them to
experience high school level
music and to get a chance to
perform with the kids that
they will be in band with next
year.”
Changes made to Memorial Day
programs in the 3 communities
Callahan added, “I have
provided some other oppor-
tunities this year for junior
high band students to partici-
pate with the senior high
band this year also. The
more and more they can ex-
perience ‘what high school
band is like’ the more likely
they will be to stick with the
band program until they
graduate.”

Celebrate the end of the
school year with a potential
angler-to-be by fishing for
free with a child 15 or
younger, June 7-9, during
Take-A-Kid Fishing week-
end, the Minnesota Depart-
ment of Natural Resources
(DNR) said.
“This is a great opportunity
to discover fishing, ” said
Mike Kurre, the DNR’s men-
toring program coordinator.
“Minnesotans 16 or older
who take a child 15 or
younger fishing don’t need a
license that weekend. Oppor-
tunities for beginning anglers
abound throughout Minneso-
ta.”
Getting started is easy. A
boat isn’t needed and there’s
even loaner poles and tackle
in some areas.
Start by learning some
terms, basic techniques and
shore-fishing locations. DNR
fisheries offices throughout
Minnesota also offer some
good, old-fashioned angling
advice about fishing spots
that will keep young anglers
happy and safe.
The DNR’s Fishing in the
Neighborhood (FiN) program
provides urban shore-fishing
opportunities across the
metro with family-friendly
settings, piers, loaner equip-
ment at some locations and a
real chance to catch quality
fish.
Four of Minnesota’s nine
state parks that are offering
this summer’s weekly I Can
Fish! program have sessions
scheduled during Take-A-Kid
Fishing weekend. Sessions at
each park explore the basics
of fishing, fish identification
and angling tips and tricks.

Minnesotans are eager to
hit the water for Memorial
Day weekend, but the Depart-
ment of Natural Resources
(DNR) is reminding boaters
that warmer weather does not
mean warm water.
“For boaters and swim-
mers, our current water tem-
peratures can prove danger-
ous, or even deadly, if they
don’t consider the effect cold
water has on their body,” said
Capt. Greg Salo, DNR Re-
gion 3 enforcement manager.
“Water temperature below 70
degrees is considered cold.”
Water temperatures on
Lake Minnetonka and the St.
Croix River are currently in
the 60s, even though air tem-
peratures this week have been
in the 70s.
Falling into frigid water
can cause an immediate gasp
for air and the shock of the
icy water can also cause car-
diac arrest, even for people in
good health. Cold water robs
the body of heat 25 times
faster than air of the same
temperature, Salo added.
So far this year, there have
been no boating fatalities in
Minnesota, compared to four
deaths for the same period
last year. “This is the first
time since 2004 Minnesotans
are going into Memorial Day
weekend without a boating
fatality,” Salo said. Fifteen
people died in boating acci-
dents in 2012.
The DNR offers tips for
safe and responsible boating
including:
• State law requires a U.S.
Coast Guard-approved wear-
able life jacket for each per-
son on board all watercraft.
• All children under 10
years old are required to wear
a Coast Guard-approved life
jacket while a boat is under-
way.
• Alcohol and boating don’t
mix.
• If a watercraft becomes
swamped or capsized, try to
reboard or stay with the craft.
• Take a boater course and
receive a boat education cer-
tificate.
For information on taking a
boating course and other
boating safety information
visit the DNR’s boat and
water safety Web page.
Cold water will be dangerous to boaters this
Memorial Day weekend, according to DNR
May is the month when
most fawns are born. The
Minnesota Department of
Natural Resources (DNR) is
urging people to leave fawns
alone.
While a new fawn may ap-
pear helpless, it’s important
not to interfere with the doe’s
natural instinct for raising its
young, DNR officials said.
A doe’s method of rearing
offspring is different from a
human’s, especially for the
first few weeks.
Wildlife officials explained
it this way: Within hours of
birth, the fawn is led to a se-
cluded spot and the doe lets it
nurse. Then the doe leaves to
feed and rest herself, out of
sight but within earshot. In
four or five hours, she will re-
turn to feed her young and
take them to a new hiding
place. Only when the fawns
are strong enough to outrun
predators, do the young travel
much with their mother.
For the first week of life,
frightened fawns instinctively
freeze, making full use of
their white spotted coats, a
protective coloration. New-
born fawns are not fast
enough to outdistance preda-
tors, so they must depend on
their ability to hide for pro-
tection.
A fawn’s curiosity may en-
tice it to approach a person
who comes upon on it. The
DNR urges people not to try
to catch a fawn if they en-
counter one. Walk away.
Never feed or collar a fawn.
Feeding deer can concen-
trate animals in feeding areas
which makes them more sus-
ceptible to predation, vehicle
collisions, or other unwanted
human interactions. What be-
gins as a good intention to
help the animal ultimately
lessens the animal’s ability to
survive independently.
For questions about an in-
teraction with a wild animal,
contact a DNR area wildlife
office for suggestions. In
most cases, letting nature take
its course is the best advice.

An Elders Celebration recognized and honored Vivian
Kroells, front left, and Ellerd Mathwig, front right, at
the Green Isle Community School on Friday night,
May 17. The students told the life stories of these two
individuals through songs and skits. The enthusiastic
students, along with the teachers, posed with the two
elders at the conclusion of the program. Following the
picture, refreshments were served to the students,
teachers, elders and community members in the
school cafeteria.
Gaylord Police Chief Kenn
Mueller recently expressed
concerns about potentially
dangerous dogs and at-large
dogs within the city limits,
according to an article in The
Gaylord Hub. Unlicensed
dogs have also been an issue,
Mueller reported.
Dog owners within the city
limits are required to pur-
chase a license no later than
April 1 of each year. The city
imposes a $50 fine for unli-
censed dogs and a $50 fine
for handling dogs at large.
Gaylord police chief says city has a dog problem
Former Glencoe business-
man Bryan Koepp entered an
Alford plea of guilty on four
felony counts of theft by false
misrepresentation in McLeod
County District Court on Fri-
day, May 3, according to the
McLeod County Chronicle.
Koepp entered the pleas in
exchange for the prosecution
dismissing four other felony
theft by swindle charges. The
charges span a two-year time-
frame in which Koepp, the
former owner of the Glencoe
Garden Center, obtained over
$388,500 from 15 separate
victims.
Judge Thomas McCarthy
canceled a May 14 jury trial
and ordered a pre-sentence
investigation. Sentencing has
been set for June 28 in
McLeod County District
Court.
Alford plea is entered on 4 felony counts
The G-F-W School Board
started with 17 candidates, in-
terviewed four, then a second

before selecting Tami Martin
as its new superintendent on
Tuesday, May 7, according to
an article in the Winthrop
News.
Martin agreed to enter con-
tract negotiations and the
School Board was expected
to approve a contract at its
meeting on Monday night,
May 20.
Martin offered G-F-W superintendent position

Volunteers are eagerly
working to prepare the Sib-
ley County Museum for the
season’s opening from 2
p.m. to 5 p.m. on Memorial
Day, according to Curator
Sharon Haggenmiller.
The museum building,
which is the former A.F.
Poehler home, was pur-
chased by the Sibley Coun-
ty Historical Society in
1948. After a year of refur-
bishment, the museum was
ready to open on Memorial
Day in 1949. This tradition
has followed for 64 years.
After Memorial Day, the
museum will be open from
2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Sundays
through October.
“We encourage everyone
to stop by to see our fea-
tured displays about Coun-
try Schools,” said Haggen-
miller. “For some it will be
a blast from the past, for
others it will be a learning
experience of what school
was like until the mid
1950’s when country
schools began to decline.
These displays also lead us
into our next mission of
publishing a history book
about Country Schools in
Sibley County, including
parochial schools.”
Haggenmiller added,
“There were 80 school dis-
tricts in Sibley County. The
challenge is collecting in-
formation surrounding
these districts. We are
looking for photos of the
buildings, students, teach-
ers, any memorabilia, etc.,
scan or photocopy, to use in
the publication. Do you
have any stories about your
school days? How did you
get to school? What was a
typical day like? What did
you take for lunch? Name
some games you played at
recess, etc. These are just
some of the stories that we
are looking for.”
People who can help with
some information are en-
couraged to contact the Sib-
ley County Museum at 507-
248-3434.
The Sibley County His-
torical Society holds meet-
ings on the fourth Tuesday
of the month.
The first meeting of the
season will be held at the
City Hall in New Auburn at
7 p.m. Tuesday, May 28.
Kathy Ringo will be the
speaker and talk about New
Auburn history. Everyone
is welcome to attend.
Sibley County Museum will open
for the season on Memorial Day

Art Awards
These three students received major
art awards during the Sibley East
Awards Night in Arlington on Wednes-
day evening, May 15. Left to right:
Paige Nelson (Most Dedicated Award),
Bailey Brockoff (Art Student of the Year
Award) and Samantha Lane (Most Cre-
ative Award).
By Sgt. Jacalyn Sticha
Minnesota State Patrol
Do you know what hap-
pens in the first fatal second
after a car going 55 miles per
hour hits a solid object?
1. In the first 10th of a sec-
ond, the front bumper and
grill collapse.
2. The second 10th of a
second finds the hood crum-
bling, rising and striking the
windshield as the spinning
rear wheels lift from the
ground. Simultaneously,
fenders begin wrapping them-
selves around the solid ob-
ject. Although the car ’s
frame has been halted, the
rest of the car is still going 55
miles per hour. Instinct caus-
es the driver to stiffen his
legs against the crash, and
they snap at the knee joint.
3. During the third 10th of
a second, the steering wheel
starts to disintegrate and the
steering column aims for the
driver’s chest.
4. The fourth 10th of a sec-
ond finds two feet of the car’s
front end wrecked, while the
rear end still moves at 35
miles per hour. The driver’s
body is still traveling at 55
miles per hour.
5. In the fifth 10th of a sec-
ond, the driver is impaled on
the steering column, and
blood rushes into his lungs.
6. The sixth 10th of a sec-
ond, the impact has built up
to the point that the driver’s
feet are ripped out of tightly
laced shoes. The brake pedal
breaks off. The car frame
buckles in the middle. The
driver’s head smashes into
the windshield as the rear
wheels, still spinning, fall
back to the earth.
7. In the seventh 10th of a
second, hinges rip loose,
doors fly open and the seats
break free, striking the driver
from behind.
8. The seat striking the
driver does not bother him
because he is already dead.
The last three 10ths of a sec-
ond mean nothing to the driv-
er.
Moral: You may choose to
break the law and not buckle
up; however, you cannot
break the laws of physics.
The first second of a fatal crash

the end of FY 14. Due to fed-
eral requirements it will again
be necessary to increase lunch
prices.
• “The community service
fund is projected to be ap-
proximately -$79,183 at the
end of the current school year,
and -$99,611 at the end of the
2013-14 school year.
“With continued budget ad-
justments and a possible one
time transfer from the undes-
ignated fund balance to the
community service fund a bal-
anced budget would be estab-
lished.”
Langenbrunner added that a
lot of work has been done
during the last year to work
towards a balanced budget.
He again stressed to the
board that a balanced budget
is extremely important and the
district needs to work to only
spend what it brings in each
year.
The budget will be revised
as enrollment numbers and
solidified and it is better
known what the state formu-
las will be once approved by
the Governor.
Closed Meeting
The board closed the regu-
lar meeting due to attorney-
client privilege.
Langenbrunner reported the
purpose of the closed one
hour and 15 minute meeting
was in regards to the ongoing
litigation MKM vs. Kevin
David Jones and Sibley East.
He added that the board took
no action at the meeting. He
said mediation is scheduled
for Thursday, May 30.
